《1980s Group-Pampering: Cannon-Fodder Real Young Lady Gets a Divorce and Becomes a Billionaire》 Chapter 1: divorce settlement 1 Chapter 1 Divorce settlement 1 "Let''s get a divorce, look at you fat as a pig, I feel sick when I see you!" Lan Shu opened her eyes and found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed. Before she could figure out her current situation, she heard these words. The surrounding environment was a little dark, but she could still tell that this was a small room, and there was a strange smell of rancidity in the air. "Being with you will only make me laugh, saying that I, Xu Yunjie, married a lazy, ugly, stupid woman!" The voice sounded again, and the other party''s tone was disgusted and full of resentment. Lan Shu sat up from the bed, looked up following the voice, and saw a man in dark blue overalls glaring at her angrily a few steps away from her. Lan Shu:? what''s the situation? Where is she? Suddenly, a series of memories that did not belong to her rushed into her mind. It turns out that she has time-traveled! Transmigrated into a novel of true and false daughters in the 1980s that she had read not long ago¡ª The heroine of the novel is a false daughter who was wronged. Although she is not her own, her adoptive parents treat her as their own daughter. The real daughter, Lan Shu, who is living outside, is a fat, lazy, and divorced woman! My current identity is the real daughter who will serve as a control group in the future and highlight all the perfections of the fake daughter! Lan Shu couldn''t calm down a little. Since she was an orphan since she was a child, she has always believed that knowledge can change destiny. After more than ten years of hard work, she was finally admitted to a college and graduated successfully. She was finally able to make a big splash in the society, but she wore it? ! Lanshu''s startled expression fell into Xu Yunjie''s eyes, and Xu Yunjie frowned. He knew that Lan Shu couldn''t accept what he said, but she had to accept it! "Don''t pester me anymore! I will pay back the money and food that your family gave back. As for you... I have never touched you, and you won''t suffer even if you get divorced." "As long as you agree to divorce, I will help you solve the problem you committed this time, otherwise I will hand it over to the trade union!" What did you commit? Lan Shu quickly searched through the extra memories in her mind, and then realized what was going on. When she was reading novels, she only knew that the real daughter, Lan Shu, grew up in the countryside. After a year of marriage, she was divorced because she was lazy and disgusted by others. But now, she discovered that there was something else going on! It''s not that Lan Shu is not good enough for Xu Yunjie, but that Xu Yunjie is not good enough for Lan Shu! The real daughter Lanshu''s family in the countryside is not as good as the rich family in the county town, but it is really good. There are three older brothers above her. As the only daughter in the family, she has been favored since she was a child, so that she is spoiled to the point that she does not need to take care of herself. Eating and drinking every day and being too lazy to move, her figure is much fatter than ordinary people. But even so, because of the good family conditions, there are many men in the village who want to marry her back home! Three years ago, sixteen-year-old Lan Shu fell in love with Xu Yunjie from the Xu family in the same village. It happened that the Xu family was poor because they had many brothers and sisters, so the Xu family proposed to ask for two hundred catties of grain, plus one hundred yuan, so that Xu Yunjie could join the Lan family. The sixteen-year-old girl fulfilled her wish and got engaged to Xu Yunjie, but not long after the engagement, Xu Yunjie was admitted to a junior college, and it was the Lan family who provided him with two years of education. After graduation, Xu Yunjie married Lan Shu as agreed. But on the wedding day, the two slept separately. On the second day after marriage, Xu Yunjie moved to the staff dormitory of the machinery factory in the county seat as if hiding from the plague. He used his busy work as an excuse and did not go back once for a whole year. Seeing this, the Lan family knew that Xu Yunjie had become a college student, so they looked down upon their villagers with pride. But seeing that Lan Shu was devoted to Xu Yunjie, the eldest brother of the Xu family sent Lan Shu to the county town and let her live in Xu Yunjie''s staff dormitory. Lan Shu lived in the staff dormitory for a month, Xu Yunjie had a bad face every day, and he didn''t get close to her at all. Because Lan Shu is spoiled by her family and can''t do anything, she didn''t do any housework this month, and she didn''t start a fire. She just waited for Xu Yunjie to bring food to her every day. Xu Yunjie didn''t like Lan Shu in the first place, so he hated this marriage even more! So slowly, he began to taunt Lan Shu, suppress her mentally, and didn''t cook Lan Shu in time. He wanted to use this method to force Lan Shu to go back to the village obediently! Lan Shu is definitely not someone who can be wronged! Xu Yunjie couldn''t take care of her, so she borrowed money from the neighbors in the same building. According to the living standard at home, she ate eggs and meat buns every day. In the end, she owed more than 20 yuan. Originally, the neighbors around saw that she was Xu Gong''s wife, and borrowed some more or less, but found that the money would not come back! Xu Yunjie was unwilling to pay back the money for Lan Shu, so the neighbors who were collecting debts had to bring the matter to the trade union. If there is no mediation, Lan Shu will be taken away by the trade union. Losing money is a trivial matter, and maybe you will be regarded as an old man and squatting in the bureau for a few days! Lan Shu guessed that the original owner might have caused trouble at the beginning, was timid, and didn''t dare to tell the family, and was frightened by Xu Yunjie for a while, so she agreed to the divorce. In this day and age, divorce is a big deal! Wherever a divorced woman goes, she will be talked about and talked about. Therefore, after the real daughter Lan Shu recognized her relatives, she was inferior to the fake daughter in terms of reputation from the very beginning! Lan Shu took a deep breath... Although she didn''t know why she came to this world, since she came, she couldn''t let her life go on as badly as in the original novel. She is not the original Lan Shu, and she has no interest in Xu Yunjie, who is justifiably soft-fed, and finally turns his face and denies anyone! So this marriage must be divorced, but it is not the original divorce law. "Divorce is fine." Lan Shu looked at Xu Yunjie and said coldly, "But we have to settle some accounts." Xu Yunjie initially expected that Lan Shu would agree to divorce because of fear, but he never thought that Lan Shu who agreed to divorce would look so calm at this time. But no matter what, as long as you can get a divorce. "Don''t worry, I won''t lose any money from your family." Lan Shu nodded when she heard this, "Then let''s talk about things other than the two hundred catties of grain and one hundred yuan." Hearing this sentence, Xu Yunjie was stunned immediately. "Apart from these, what else is there between us?" Seeing what he said, Lan Shu immediately showed a mocking expression. "I''m afraid you have forgotten who paid your tuition fees during the two years you went to school, as well as your monthly food expenses, money for stationery, and clothes you wore all over your body. Your Xu family has never spent a whole lot of money on these things." point!" Seeing Xu Yunjie''s downcast face because of her words, Lan Shu sneered. She has more than that to settle with Xu Yunjie! Opening a new book! We need everyone''s support, if you like it, please vote for it every day~ There are also favorites, praise, and comments, thank you. (end of this chapter) Chapter 2: Divorce Settlement 2 Chapter 2 Divorce Settlement 2 "Because your family was poor and your daughter-in-law couldn''t afford to marry, so you were allowed to marry into our family, which saved you the gift money for marrying a daughter-in-law." "In order to take care of your face, our Lan family has never mentioned to the outside world that you are the son-in-law who married into the family." Lan Shu said softly with a sneer in her eyes. When Xu Yunjie heard this, he immediately understood what Lan Shu meant. This is turning a corner and calling him a white-eyed wolf, who doesn''t know how to be grateful! But even so, as long as he thinks that he will spend his whole life with a lazy, ugly woman like Lan Shu, Xu Yunjie doesn''t care about anything. "Tell me the number, how much will you be willing to divorce me?" "That''s not right. It''s not that I want your money, but that you pay back our family''s money." Lan Shu opened her mouth and corrected the problem in Xu Yunjie''s words. Because once he said so, even if he got the money in the future, he would be called a greedy woman and ripped off Xu Yunjie. So you have to speak clearly, so as to save your tongue from being lost in the future. Xu Yunjie choked when Lan Shu corrected him, "Okay, then tell me how much I want to pay back to your family." Lan Shu was not too polite, and immediately counted. "The current price of two hundred catties of grain is 80 yuan, plus the 100 yuan for your family, the total is 180 yuan." "When you were in school, you were jealous of other classmates wearing watches. Not long after, you also got a new watch. It was bought by our family. It cost more than 160 yuan, plus tuition and two years of food expenses, food and clothing expenses, you I owe at least six hundred yuan to our family, and I will give you the change." "As for whether I will suffer from a divorce or not, it''s not something you just say and let it go. You just asked me to have multiple divorce certificates. Remarriage is a second marriage. I must be compensated." Lan Shu spoke so fast that she didn''t give Xu Yunjie a chance to react. "Knowing that your family is poor, you can''t afford much, so add one hundred, and the total is seven hundred." Hearing this number, Xu Yunjie''s originally dark complexion became startled. "Seven hundred yuan?" He works as a technician in a machinery factory, and now he only earns 46 yuan a month, and only 30 yuan in the two months before he came here. After a year, he only earned a little over 500 yuan. Excluding the daily food expenses, he only has three hundred yuan in his hand now. It was the three hundred yuan that gave him the confidence to file for divorce. But counting it now, all the assets he is proud of are not enough to return half of the Lan family? ! At this moment, Xu Yunjie suspected that Lan Shu deliberately used this method to keep herself. She didn''t want a divorce, so she used money to block her mouth! Before changing, maybe he would temporarily give up the idea of ??divorce because of the money, but not now! Li Xiumei, the city girlfriend he had when he was in college, recently got in touch with him. Xiumei will come to the county to look for him next month, and he must get rid of his marriage before then in order to have a future with Xiumei. I heard that Xiumei''s father is still working in the city government. If I can be with Xiumei, my future will not only be a skilled worker in a small factory! The opportunity will never come again, he must seize the opportunity! "Okay! Seven hundred is seven hundred, as long as you divorce me, I will give you the money." Although Xu Yunjie accepted the money, he left room for himself. He will give money, but not so much at once. According to his salary, as long as he saves a province, he can pay it off in one year. But his idea is good, but Lan Shu doesn''t follow his idea. Lan Shu: "Give me the money first, and I will divorce you when I get the money." Lan Shu didn''t know what Xu Yunjie was thinking. She always thought that it was easy to borrow money but difficult to pay back. In her era, the people who owed money were all ''uncles''. She doesn''t want to waste energy and time in order to ask for money in the future. This stumped Xu Yunjie, he didn''t have that much money for a while. But for divorce, Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth, "Okay! You give me three days, and I will give you money after three days!" Although his money is not enough now, as long as he can get a divorce, he will ask someone to borrow some first. Working with his iron rice bowl, there will still be some workers who will give him face. After the two made an appointment to repay the money and divorce, Xu Yunjie immediately went out. Although it is already the afternoon off-duty time, it is not an easy task for him to borrow 400 yuan within three days. ¡­ Lan Shu was the only one left in the small staff dormitory. With no other people bothering her, Lan Shu had time to find the source of the foul smell in the room. After looking around carefully, she found a pile of stinky socks under the bed in the room. That is to say, the condition of the original owner''s house is good, so there are so many spare socks for use. If it is an ordinary family, it would be good to have two or three pairs of replacement socks. Throwing the socks into the water basin at the door to temporarily cover up the stench, Lan Shu had time to think about her current situation. The original Lan Shu was just taking a nap at noon, but when she didn''t wake up, she replaced her. Xu Yunjie came back from get off work and saw that the house was messy and smelly, so he couldn''t get angry, so he immediately premised on the long-planned matter and said that he wanted a divorce. Things have come to this point, Lan Shu can only think about how she can live a stable life in this era after the divorce. Before she could think about it carefully, she suddenly felt some pain in her stomach. This kind of feeling of a big aunt''s precursor was no stranger to Lan Shu. If it was before, the aunt would come right away. But now, she just rummaged through the house and didn''t see a single piece of toilet paper in the room, let alone a sanitary napkin. In this era, there may not be such things as sanitary napkins in China! Even when Xu Yunjie was talking about divorce, Lan Shu was able to remain calm, but now that an upcoming ''big aunt'' made her a little flustered. So Lan Shu immediately went out¡ª The most important thing now is to buy some paper first, and then we can deal with the ''big aunt''. ¡­ On the second floor of the dormitory building for the employees of the machinery factory, the daughter-in-law of Xu Gong''s family from her hometown has been an "eye-opener" for the neighbors during this period. In this era when the slogan "labor is the most glorious" is on the lips, there are very few lazy people. So when the neighbors saw such a slob like Xu Gong''s wife, they all avoided them, for fear that they would provoke them, and they would not be able to get rid of them~! Sister-in-law He lives next door to the Xu family, separated by a brick-thick wall, and she heard the quarrel between the young couple of the Xu family. Although the specific content cannot be heard clearly, she can clearly hear the word ''divorce''! I have long felt that Xu Gong''s greedy and prodigal daughter-in-law is not good enough for Xu Gong. Now that the two are divorced, Xu Gong will not be dragged down. Divorce is not a good thing these days, and it will have a great impact on reputation, but Mrs. He feels that with Xu Gong''s appearance and working conditions, even if he is divorced, he can still marry a wife again. Just thinking about it, someone knocked on the door panel of my house from the outside. "Who is it?" Sister-in-law He opened the door, and when she looked up, she saw Mrs. Xu''s daughter-in-law, whose hair was greasy and her body was trembling with fat! She subconsciously prepared to close the door, but Lan Shu''s fat palm blocked the door frame... The new book needs everyone¡¯s support, please vote for it~ Thank you! (end of this chapter) Chapter 3: Second-hand processing Chapter 3 Second-hand disposal Lan Shu knew that the original owner had a bad reputation in the staff dormitory building during this time, but seeing Mrs. He''s reaction now, she felt that she still underestimated how annoying the neighbors were to the original owner. But according to the memory of the original owner, among the acquaintances in the entire staff dormitory building, she may be able to speak, and she is the one who has not borrowed money from her because she is stingy. "Sister-in-law He, I''m not here to borrow money this time. I have a few clothes I bought in the county mall that I want to deal with at a low price, so I''m here to ask if you want them?" When the original owner came to the county from the countryside, he didn''t plan to go back in a short time, so he brought a lot of clothes from all seasons at home. Most of her clothes are from shopping malls. Although it is only a shopping mall in a small county town, not everyone is willing to buy it. Clothes that were not considered cheap in the first place, now that she said they would deal with them at a low price, some people would be curious about them. Not to mention Mrs. He, who is so stingy that she is reluctant to add clothes to herself all the year round. Buying high-priced goods at a low price, the money saved in the middle is a profit for Mrs. He! So Mrs. He was stunned briefly, and then asked, "How much?" "Shirts and trousers are two yuan, dresses are three yuan, sweaters are four yuan, and coats are priced at six to ten yuan depending on the thickness." Lan Shu quoted the price she had already thought up in one breath, and sold the clothes that cost at least seven or eight yuan at a low price. Although these clothes are from shopping malls, they really don''t look good in her eyes. Plus the clothes are fat, and she will not be able to wear them in the future if she is going to lose weight, so she simply sells them for some money. Money is the most useful thing for her now. "It''s really so cheap?" When Mrs. He heard the price, she subconsciously asked what was on her mind. Xu Gong''s daughter-in-law has a lot of clothes, she knows. When the fat girl moved to the staff dormitory, her elder brother brought the luggage over with a tractor. The clothes she wears are usually made of good materials and new styles. Although the clothes are a bit bulky, it doesn''t cost much to find a tailor to change them. And the sweater is only four dollars! One catty of wool from others is enough to knit a sweater, but Xu Gong''s wife''s body shape requires at least three catties of wool for a sweater! If she buys it and dismantles it and weaves it again, apart from one for herself, the remaining wool will be enough to weave one for the children in the family. Equal to four dollars and two sweaters! This is a big deal! "Buy! I want to buy!" Mrs. He immediately agreed. Hearing this answer, Lan Shu smiled, "Sister-in-law He, wait a moment, I''ll go get a bag of clothes for you to pick first, and I''ll leave whatever you like." Originally, Mrs. He only planned to buy two or three pieces of clothes to change back, but when she heard that Xu Gong''s daughter-in-law planned to sell the clothes to others, she had to buy a few more while the styles were all available! Otherwise, this opportunity to pick up a bargain will be gone in the future. So after Lan Shu took a dozen pieces of clothes suitable for Mrs. He''s age from the next room, Mrs. He picked and picked them, not wanting to miss any of them. Finally struggled for a long time, she kept six pieces. Shirts, trousers, and skirts can be changed. I kept two sweaters and a coat. Originally, she only wanted to spend a few dollars to pick up a cheap Mrs. He, but she spent more than 20 dollars in one go, which was worth half a month''s salary of her man. But she herself felt that the money was worth it! After receiving the money, Lan Shu also had a smile on her face. The original owner owes the neighbors money, isn''t that all there is? But now is not the time to pay back the money immediately, her ''big aunt'' can''t wait any longer! Saying goodbye to Mrs. He, Lan Shu hurriedly walked towards the street outside the machinery factory according to the memory of the original owner... ¡­ Linfu Street is located in the northwest of Qingyang County. There are several factories nearby. In addition to the machinery factory, there are also steel mills and paper mills. Although the machinery factory and the paper mill are not big, there is a big steel factory. Thousands of workers in the three factories make Linford Street very lively. In the evening, the sky is full of red clouds. While it was still dark, Lan Shu hurried out of the gate of the machinery factory according to the memory of the original owner. Turn left at the gate for more than 100 meters, and you will arrive at Linfu Street. There is a steamed stuffed bun shop at Qiaotou on the street, and you can smell the fragrance of meat buns from a long distance away. Usually, the original owner often buys food in this shop. People who do business these days are very serious, and buns that are the size of an adult''s fist only cost 20 cents each. According to Lan Shu''s own appetite, two steamed buns at most can make her stomach full. But in the past, the original owner ate four big meat buns, two tea eggs, and a bowl of millet porridge for a meal! With such an amazing appetite, the stomach has already been stretched, and the body will naturally gain weight. So the original owner''s weight compared to his height, Qiqi is going above 160. Now that Lan Shu has taken over this body, she must lose weight, so she only bought two buns, and plans to control her appetite first, and let her bloated stomach recover by itself. Although the method of dieting to lose weight can lose weight faster, that way is too harmful to the body. Lan Shu didn''t want to lose weight at the risk of stomach problems. Spending 40 cents, I got two buns wrapped in straw paper. Lan Shu took a bite, the skin was thin and the meat was thick, leaving a mouthful of fragrance! Such cheap and delicious big buns made Lan Shu suddenly like this era. At this moment, the way she squinted her eyes and ate buns with happiness on her face fell into the eyes of Mrs. Lin at the bridgehead. Old lady Lin was standing outside the gate of her yard. A few minutes ago, she had just received a call from Kyoto to the county to visit her little grandson. The last time he saw his little grandson, he was only in his teens. Five or six years had passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing his handsome little grandson, although he had grown a lot taller, his thin body really made the old lady feel a little Distressed! "Is this how your parents took care of you? Look at how they raised my big fat grandson who was loved by everyone in the past! He has long arms and long legs, and his waist is as thin as a hemp stick!" Gu Jue never expected that his figure, which looks thin in clothes and fleshy in clothes, is envied by all the youngsters. In the eyes of his grandmother, it seems that he has been abused at home. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly saw his grandma pointing to a girl who was about to become a ball beside the bun shop in Qiaotou not far away, and said, "Look at how good the girl''s appetite is, and she is white and fat, Xiaobao, you want to eat it too." Learn from others, make yourself strong by eating..." "Grandma, your aesthetics are a bit too much, white and fat should be moderate, your grandson really wants to be fat like that big sister, so I will hide and not go out!" Gu Jue said half-jokingly, he was really speechless and helpless when he looked at the old man. When the old and the young spoke, they didn''t deliberately lower the volume, so the conversation was overheard by Lan Shu, who was not far away! Lan Shu:? She knew her body shape, which was more conspicuous in the 1980s when most people still couldn''t get enough to eat, but she didn''t expect that she would be ordered by passers-by even if she ate a bun! And... big sister? She is only 19 years old in this body now, she is clearly a young girl! Lan Shu looked in the direction of the voice, she wanted to see who the person with the voice sounded clear and pleasant, but the eyes were really bad! The next second, she raised her eyes and saw under the afterglow of the setting sun, a young man with fair skin and delicate facial features, as perfect as a round of bright moonlight... (end of this chapter) Chapter 4: borrow clothes Chapter 4 Borrowing Clothes The boy is tall and straight, with a height of more than 180. He looks young, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was only wearing an ordinary white shirt and black trousers, he couldn''t hide his wide shoulders, narrow waist, and straight and slender legs. He stood at the head of the bridge, lowered his head slightly, and looked softly at the old lady beside him. With just one glance, Lan Shu can tell that apart from having a perfect appearance, the young man also has a kind heart that respects and loves the elderly. Such a good-looking, good-hearted young man, but he said something that she didn''t like to hear! Lan Shu frowned, took the unfinished buns and walked towards the boy, and stood in front of him a few steps. "You mean I''m fat so I shouldn''t go out?" "Also, you are so good-looking, why do you speak so badly, who do you call me big sister? I am at most two or three years older than you, so I call you young lady!" The sudden crisp questioning voice made Gu Jue slightly startled! Then the word "Miss Sister" made him laugh. He looked up, and saw the girl who had just been called white and fat by his grandmother, standing in front of him with a cold face and anger. Gu Jue never thought that his casual sentence would anger others. At this time, he was questioned face to face, and he was a little embarrassed. But it''s really wrong to speak ill of people, and he was about to apologize for his slip of the tongue. But in the next second, he heard the fat girl say confidently and seriously, "I can gain weight by myself, and I can lose weight by myself!" Lan Shu said this, not only to refute other people''s random evaluation of her, but also to set a goal for herself. She wants to lose weight! Let people never find fault with her figure in the future! Gu Jue on the side:? "Eating fat...is it still based on ability?" It was the first time he heard this novel statement. Besides, losing weight is not an easy task. It requires persistence and strong endurance. He doesn''t believe that the eldest sister in front of him, who can''t even control her figure, can really lose weight as she said. "Sister, I really didn''t mean to say you just now..." Lan Shu''s face darkened! Gu Jue on the other side understood in seconds¡ª He couldn''t help laughing, but he still called out to Big Sister Baipang, "Miss Sister." "Hmph! Not sincere at all." Lan Shu snorted in dissatisfaction, but she didn''t continue to care about it. In fact, she wasn''t too angry with the boy in front of her, she just warned him a little. After speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. But in the next second, she heard the boy''s clean and clear voice from behind¡ª "Wait a minute." Gu Jue said, bent down and took out a long-sleeved shirt from the hand luggage bag at his feet, and handed it to Lan Shu. "Lend this to you." He said. Lan Shu watched the young man lower his head slightly, his eyes drifted, and the tips of his ears turned red. Lan Shu:? ? Soon, the old lady on the side reminded, "Girl, my grandson borrowed your clothes to let you block behind." Lan Shu''s eyes widened when she heard this! Her "big aunt" has arrived without a trace! Now Lan Shu took the clothes from the young man without hesitation, and tied the long sleeves around her bucket waist with some difficulty. Looking up at the boy again, her eyes were not angry at all, but full of gratitude, "Thank you, I will return the clothes to you after I wash them." After speaking, she turned around with her head bowed in embarrassment, and left in a hurry. ¡­ The sky gradually darkened, and the light bulbs in the roadside vendors and shops lit up one after another. Lan Shu had a light blue shirt tied around her waist, and walked quickly towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away. The Supply and Marketing Cooperative gets off work after seven o''clock, and if she goes there late, she won''t be able to buy what she needs. It has only been two years since the reform and opening up. In 1980, commercial development was still very backward, and there were too few channels to buy things. The main daily necessities in small counties still had to be bought in supply and marketing cooperatives. So the 1980s was also called the golden age after the reform and opening up by later generations. At this time, self-employed people do business, as long as they work hard, there is basically no loss of money. Lan Shu thought about starting a small business after she and Xu Yunjie divorced. Don''t seek to make money every day and get rich, at least you can live a good and high-quality life in this era. ¡­ The inside of the supply and marketing cooperative on Linfu Street is 100 square meters in size. There are a long row of counters with tobacco, wine, non-staple food, fabrics, wool, a small amount of finished clothes, and daily necessities. Lan Shu had confirmed it before coming here. There are no sanitary napkins in China now. Women who come to auntie rely on toilet paper. Most of the toilet paper in this era is about one foot long and half a foot wide, without any large paper for sealed storage. According to the degree of roughness and softness, it is divided into two grades, which are 40 cents per catty and 70 cents per catty. Lan Shu bought two catties and seventy cents of toilet paper, and watched the employees of the supply and marketing agency weigh a large pile of toilet paper on the scale with bare hands without any cleaning measures, and then handed it out from the counter in a hasty bundle. Lan Shu: ¡­ Even if she is not a clean freak, she still thinks that using paper like this is not clean. At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly made a decision¡ª Even if it is for herself, she wants to make sanitary napkins, a must-have item for women, available as soon as possible! ¡­ Back to the staff dormitory building with a large bundle of toilet paper, it was already completely dark. Xu Yunjie hasn''t come back yet, probably borrowing money is more difficult than he imagined. As soon as Lan Shu entered the house and dealt with the ''disaster'' brought by her aunt, there was a soft knock on the door from the outside. She opened the door and saw that it was Mrs. He! Although Mrs. He had a smile on her face, Lan Shu could tell that her smile was somewhat unnatural. Just wondering what happened, Lan Shu heard Mrs. He say apologetically. "Sister Lanshu, after you left just now, Zhang Li from upstairs came to visit my house. When she saw those clothes, she asked and found out that you sold them to me. She wanted to buy them from you." Clothes, use the money she lent you to pay for..." Before Sister He said this, she was worried that Lan Shu would be angry, but after she finished speaking, she saw Lan Shu smiling gently. "Of course it''s okay~! I also want to thank Mrs. He for helping me spread the news." Lan Shu said softly. Whether Zhang Li found out by accident, or Mrs. He deliberately told Zhang Li the news, it doesn''t matter. Lan Shu has no intention of not paying back the debt. Whether the neighbors ask for money or take clothes to pay off the debt, she is willing to accept it. Just¡­ "It''s too late today, how about this, sister-in-law He, tomorrow morning, any family members in our dormitory building who want to buy clothes at a low price can come to me, first come, first served, until they run out." Lan Shu said it openly. Sister He froze when she heard Lan Shu''s words. "Sister, don''t you plan to sell all your clothes cheap?" She thought that Xu Gong''s daughter-in-law might find it too troublesome to take so many clothes away after the divorce, so she planned to clean up some. But looking at her current posture, it seems that it is not as simple as intending to clear part. (end of this chapter) Chapter 5: a shame Chapter 5 Embarrassment Lan Shu didn''t hide it, and smiled slightly, "It''s not a cheap sale, but I don''t need it anymore, so there is no need to keep it. I still have a lot of clothes at home." Lan Shu didn''t say any more, but just smiled and sent Mrs. He out of the door. And Mrs. He still thought that Lan Shu was lazy and prodigal, not good enough for Xu Gong, but now she has completely changed her mind! Sister Lanshu''s family must be rich! Otherwise, it is impossible to have so many clothes. From this point of view, Xu Gonggao actually cheated on Lan Shu''s sister! Although Sister Lan Shu is a little fatter and a little lazy, even if she is divorced, she can continue to live her good life without worrying about food and drink. So after the two divorced, it''s hard to say who has a better life than the other~! ¡­ The next day, Xu Yunjie went out early in the morning. Last night, he went to the homes of a few co-workers who usually had a good relationship to borrow money. After a night of running, he only borrowed more than 150 yuan, which is still far from his goal of 400 yuan. Xu Yunjie did not expect that it would be so difficult to borrow money. Although the wages of the workers in their machinery factory are not low, every family has a difficult book. Those who are not married have to hand over to their families, and married workers have to support their families and children. So much so that after looking around, he found that he was actually the richest person! It''s a pity that his money will soon be given to the Lan family... As soon as Xu Yunjie left, Lan Shu also got up. She first went out to have breakfast, then came back to wash her dirty clothes, and then simply cleaned up the house. After finishing the work here, several elder sisters and sister-in-laws upstairs and downstairs came to her door one after another according to the agreed time. Seeing so many people come to ''give her money'', Lan Shu greeted them with a smile, and immediately took all the packed clothes to the corridor outside the door. It wasn''t that she was rude and refused to invite people into the house, but that the room in the staff dormitory was too small for so many people to stand up. Besides, the outside light is good, and the colors of various clothing fabrics can be seen more clearly, so everyone is happy to pick clothes in the corridor. In one morning, Lan Shu earned more than 100 yuan in addition to paying off the more than 20 foreign debts owed to her neighbors from selling second-hand clothes. The clothes that the original owner brought from the countryside were also cleaned up by her. Because there are not a lot of clothes piled up, the room is much cleaner, and the surrounding environment makes people feel happy. Unfortunately, this joy did not last long¡ª At noon, Lan Shu had just returned from eating in a restaurant outside. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Xu Yunjie standing in the room with a gloomy expression. Seeing her enter the room, Xu Yunjie stepped forward quickly, and slammed the door behind her ''bang! ¡¯, and then glared at her violently, "Lan Shu! Don''t you really know what it means to be ashamed?" Hearing this, Lan Shu frowned. "Why am I ashamed?" Suddenly being said that for no reason, Lan Shu asked subconsciously. Seeing Lan Shu''s lack of shame, the disgust in Xu Yunjie''s eyes deepened! "You are selling clothes in our staff dormitory building, you are embarrassing me!" When Xu Yunjie got off work at noon today, he went to the staff cafeteria for dinner, and met Zhang Guodong, a coworker who lived next door to his dormitory. Zhang Guodong was in his early thirties, because a stingy wife took care of him at home, so he was always out of touch in the factory. Usually when the two meet, they just say hello at most. But today Zhang Guodong took the initiative to approach him, and meaningfully advised him to have a good time with his wife, and said that looking for a wife should not only be based on appearance and so on. Xu Yunjie felt that something was wrong at that time! After asking, he found out that the stingy daughter-in-law of Zhang Guodong''s family bought several clothes at Lan Shu''s yesterday, and she will take other family members in the staff dormitory to buy them this morning. This made Xu Yunjie angry on the spot! Although the reform and opening up has been implemented and the country allows self-employed people to do business, many people¡¯s awareness is still before the reform and opening up, thinking that doing business is speculation and wearing the hat of capitalism. Xu Yunjie went to college, so he should play down such thoughts, but when he heard that the person buying and selling things was Lan Shu, he couldn''t bear it! He didn''t even eat, so he ran quickly from the cafeteria back to the staff dormitory building to look for Lan Shu. Unexpectedly, when he came back, there was no sign of Lan Shu. It was Zhang Guodong''s daughter-in-law, Sister-in-law He, who came out of the house and told him, ''Sister Lan Shu should be going out to eat now. '' Hearing this sentence, Xu Yunjie, who was hungry, was even more annoyed! He stood in the room angrily and waited for a long time before Lan Shu came back after eating and drinking. Lan Shu didn''t expect Xu Yunjie to be so angry that it was because of this~ "Shame your face?" She repeated Xu Yunjie''s words, and couldn''t help sneering mockingly. "I''m aboveboard, and I don''t steal or rob. What''s the shame in selling a few pieces of clothes that I don''t use?" "It''s you, I just ate some buns and owed some money, what kind of man is a big man who can''t even support his own wife!? If you want to say shame, you have to lose face yourself!" Since getting the memory of the original owner, Lan Shu has long been displeased with Xu Yunjie, a coward who eats soft food. Now that he takes the initiative to send him to the door to scold, Lan Shu is really happy to scold, and feels comfortable all over. Where has Xu Yunjie been scolded like this? Lan Shu kept saying ''what kind of man'' and ''I''m ashamed'', which made him turn pale with anger! "you you¡­" "What me? You are so useless, of course I have to pay the money owed to my neighbors on my own. Is it possible that I still point to a trash like you to pay the debt?" Lan Shu glanced at Xu Yunjie lightly, with that contemptuous look, Xu Yunjie was so angry that he almost didn''t turn away! He was furious, his ears and face flushed, but he couldn''t say anything to refute. He did not help Lan Shu pay back the money, but he did not expect Lan Shu to be able to pay back the money by himself. At this time, a ''bell...'' sounded, the lunch time in the factory was over, and he had to return to his post immediately! In desperation, Xu Yunjie had no choice but to hold back his anger, gave Lan Shu a hard look, and left the dormitory. ¡­ In the next two days, Xu Yunjie never spoke a word to Lan Shu again. His dislike of Lan Shu has reached its peak! Now he just wants to get a divorce as soon as possible! Compared to Xu Yunjie who looks irritable and suffering every day, Lan Shu is leisurely ''unlocking'' new daily food in this era. Soy milk fritters in the morning, a la carte at a restaurant at noon, a bun and a bowl of porridge in the evening. Apart from eating, she is not idle, and she does weight-loss exercises for a while every day. In just three days, Lan Shu obviously felt that the fat on her stomach was softer than before. This is a result of stubborn fat being lost. She customized a weight loss plan for herself. In three months, she must get rid of the label of "fat" on her body! (end of this chapter) Chapter 6: Dirty Chapter 6 Dirty Three days soon came to an end. According to the agreement, Xu Yunjie should give Lan Shu 700 yuan, and then the two divorced. Originally, Lan Shu thought that Xu Yunjie was impatient to get a divorce, and would take out the money at noon at the latest, and let herself get out of his dormitory. Didn''t expect Xu Yunjie to sullenly move into the room step by step until night. "Six hundred and fifty yuan, that''s all I have." He said with a hoarse voice. I want to talk too much about borrowing money in the past few days, and I am very tired. But Lan Shu just raised her eyes and scanned the money on the table, "The agreed seven hundred yuan, why? Divorce compensation has been halved?" Her smiling voice reached Xu Yunjie''s ears, it was extremely ear-piercing. To Xu Yunjie, this is almost equivalent to humiliating him! Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth, and said bitterly, "Don''t worry, I promised you a penny! My family will send the money tomorrow at noon, and we will go to divorce in the afternoon!" Originally thought that Lan Shu would be sad when he heard about the divorce, but Xu Yunjie found that what he expected did not happen. Instead, Lan Shu replied indifferently, "Okay~" Then she immediately put away the six hundred and fifty yuan on the table. Xu Yunjie:? That night, Xu Yunjie, who was laying on the floor, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Obviously he is the one who wants to divorce, but now, why does he feel that Lan Shu wants to divorce more than him? ¡­ The next day, Xu Yunjie took a special leave of absence to pick up his eldest sister at the county station. The last fifty yuan that was missing this time was he who called the village last night and asked the elder sister to borrow it. Although fifty yuan is not much money for him, it is not a small amount for Mrs. Xu who grew up in the countryside, finally married in the countryside and had children. Without a job, she can only ask men for money. But when the eldest sister of the Xu family heard that as long as she had the money, her younger brother would be able to marry a girl from the leader''s family in the city. Even if Sister Xu quarreled with her man and was beaten, she still sent the money. Having not seen her younger brother for several years, Sister Xu was very happy. But soon she found that the younger brother looked at her eyes, not as friendly as a child, but like a stranger... At this time, Xu Yunjie was upset because he felt that Lan Shu also wanted to divorce him. Although he came from a bad background and his family was poor, he has always had a sense of superiority in front of Lan Shu. The source of this sense of superiority is not only because he is good-looking and a college student, but also because of Lan Shu''s obsessive love for him. But now, the person who liked me so much at the beginning doesn''t seem to like me anymore? Even though this marriage is something to be discarded in Xu Yunjie''s heart, he doesn''t want others to abandon him. There was something on his mind, so Xu Yunjie didn''t have time to catch up with the elder sister, and even saw the bruises on the corner of the elder sister''s mouth, but didn''t respond. After receiving the money, he directly said to the eldest sister, "I will pay you back in a few months." turned around and left the station. Leaving elder sister Xu alone to look at the younger brother''s back, silently shedding tears of grievance. Could it be that the little brother is really developed, so he looks down on their relatives? Big sister Xu suddenly felt that she had paid for her little brother, and now she got a white-eyed wolf! But besides complaining for a while, what else can she do? Their old Xu''s family had a younger brother who was capable. When her son grows up, she will have to rely on his younger brother for help. I just hope that my little brother can remember how kind she was to him today... ¡­ That afternoon, Lan Shu came to the gate of Qingyang County Marriage Registry at the time agreed with Xu Yunjie. After getting the last fifty yuan, she walked in with Xu Yunjie without any hesitation. Ten minutes later, the two walked out with a divorce certificate in hand. Finally divorced! Without the shackles of marriage, Lan Shu''s heart suddenly lightened¡ª By the side, Xu Yunjie had a slumped face, in an extremely bad mood! He originally wanted to get a divorce, but seeing Lan Shu happy with the divorce certificate, he even felt that he was the one who got dumped! What a man can''t stand the most is a woman''s betrayal of herself! Even if he hated Lan Shu, he couldn''t see how happy she looked after leaving him! Probably Xu Yunjie''s resentful eyes were too strong, which made Lan Shu feel it. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Xu Yunjie looking at her with complex eyes of anger and regret, mixed with other negative emotions. Lan Shu:? Obviously he is going to get a divorce, and I have fulfilled him, but now he looks at himself with a feeling that he is the one who is heartbroken? Lan Shu couldn''t stand Xu Yunjie''s appearance. "Don''t look at me with this victim''s expression, it''s been so long, you think I haven''t figured it out yet?" Lan Shu sneered, with deep meaning. These words made Xu Yunjie, who was full of complaints, feel ''thump! ¡¯ With a jump, the subconscious had a bad premonition. Immediately afterwards, he heard Lan Shu say. "Back then in the village, you pretended to meet me by chance every day and approached me every day. You deliberately made me fall in love with you. You know that your old Xu''s family is poor and has no money for you to go to college, so you wanted to come into our house and use the money from our Lan family to send you You go to school." "You are really calculating. You not only deceived my young and ignorant feelings, but also enjoyed our family''s unwavering support for you to go to college, and at the same time made your Xu family feel sorry for you. A group of poor relatives." Lan Shu''s words completely exposed the filth that Xu Yunjie had been hiding in his heart for a long time! After a brief shock, he blushed with embarrassment and couldn''t lift his head up! ¡ª Facing a scumbag like Xu Yunjie, Lan Shu was merciless. "You say you despise me for being fat, but I still think you have 800 minds all over your body~! I can get rid of this body as long as I lose weight, but your pickled heart will never be clean!" As she said that, Lan Shu grinned deliberately, and smiled at Xu Yunjie, "You guessed right, I just think that I have nothing to do with people like you, and I will be very happy." "And you are a door-to-door son-in-law, even if we divorce, remember, I am the one who divorced you!" "You''d better not appear in front of me again, lest you make me sick and block my eyes!" After finishing speaking, Lan Shu didn''t wait for Xu Yunjie to react, glanced at him contemptuously, and then strode away. Divorced, she can finally move out of Xu Yunjie''s small staff dormitory and start a new life of freedom in this era¡ª ¡­ At the gate of the machinery factory, a tractor stopped outside the gate more than ten minutes ago. Lan Dazhuang jumped off the tractor, greeted the security room at the gate of the factory, and then hurriedly walked directly into the factory. In the village at noon today, Lan Dazhuang came back from the field with a tractor, and met his brother-in-law and his eldest sister on the way. Originally, he was kind enough to take the elder sister of the Xu family for a while, but he accidentally let him know that Xu Yunjie was going to divorce his younger sister! This made Lan Dazhuang suddenly angry! He drove the tractor directly from the village to the county seat without saying a word¡ª My younger sister has only been to the county seat for a month, and that **** Xu Yunjie is going to divorce my younger sister? The kid he didn''t hit today has a bruised nose and a swollen face. If he is asked to withdraw the divorce, he will never give up! (end of this chapter) Chapter 7: everyone in the neighborhood knows Chapter 7 Everyone Knows When Lan Shu walked all the way back to the building of the machinery factory, she happened to meet the angry Lan Dazhuang downstairs. Seeing that his little sister was smiling and in a good mood, Lan Dazhuang was taken aback. Lan Dazhuang:? Didn''t the eldest sister of the Xu family say that her **** is going to divorce her younger sister? But if that''s the case, with the degree of infatuation my little sister has for Xu Yunjie, would my little sister be so happy? Could it be...the two reconciled after quarreling? Lan Dazhuang has a lot of strength in working in the village, but the things that use his brain are really not suitable for him. Since he couldn''t think of a reason, he just asked. So Lan Shu saw a burly man approaching her and stopped her, "Little sister, where is Xu Yunjie? Did he bully you? Tell the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will help you teach him a lesson!" Lan Shu was startled¡ª After a while, she matched the memory of the person in front of her with the original owner! ¡ªLan Dazhuang, a villager in Tianshui Village, Lan Shu''s elder brother. Lan Dazhuang, as his name suggests, is tall and strong, and he is a full-fledged farmer. In the days when the rural areas are still collectively farming and working, and getting centimeters from the commune, Lan Dazhuang''s labor capacity alone can be compared to two adult men in their village, so the centimeters that the Lan family gets every year can be eaten in exchange for food. not finished. This big brother from the Lan family was also the main force who used to pamper her mindlessly when the original owner was at home! Although Lan Shu was not the original owner, she was an orphan since she was a child, and was suddenly ''rushed'' by this strong family affection. There was almost no barrier in her heart, and she quickly accepted the care of the big brother of the Lan family. "Brother, I have not been bullied, I divorced Xu Yunjie." "It''s good if you don''t get bullied... Divorce, divorce?!" Lan Dazhuang didn''t react at first, but when he heard his little sister''s words clearly, he was stunned! Especially when he saw the younger sister take out a divorce certificate from her pocket and wave it in front of his eyes... This man, who has always been fearless, was told frankly by his little sister at this time, his feet softened in shock, and he staggered on the spot. "Little sister, you, you, if Xu Yunjie is disobedient, I''ll just teach you a lesson. Divorce... How bad is this for your reputation?" "But I hate him, and I don''t want to see him again." Lan Shu said lightly, reinstalled the divorce certificate, and then looked up at Lan Dazhuang. "He is not sincere to me, so what''s the point of me keeping him?" Lan Dazhuang fell silent when he heard this. Even if he is not very smart, he has already seen the situation that the little sister said before. But the little girl didn''t care whether Xu Yunjie''s heart was with her before, but now she suddenly figured it out? But no matter whether he figured it out or not, the matter of the younger sister''s divorce is now a certainty, and there is no room for maneuver. Since the younger sister has already made up her mind and made a decision, what about her reputation... With him around, who dares to say a bad word about his sister? ! "Since the younger sister doesn''t like it, then we don''t want their Xu family''s cowards! Don''t worry, I will find you a good man in the village who will treat you sincerely in the village tomorrow!" Hearing that Lan Dazhuang accepted her decision so easily and didn''t say anything against her, Lan Shu really didn''t expect it at first. This feeling of trusting her unconditionally and respecting her decision warmed her heart. As for the words that the big brother of the Lan family followed, Lan Shu listened to it after hearing it, and didn''t take it to heart at all. Suddenly came to this era, and she didn''t even understand her own life. She would not consider finding a man for the time being. Now her ''family'' can accept her divorce. "Let''s go, little sister, big brother will help you pack up, let''s go home~!" Lan Dazhuang was never a procrastination person. At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly had a warm current in her heart¡ª¡ª There was a sincere smile on her white and fat face, then she nodded slightly, and said softly and seriously, "Okay~" So, when Xu Yunjie returned to his staff dormitory, Lan Dazhuang had already helped his sister pack her luggage quickly, and the two left the county seat on a tractor. And his ungrateful incident was also publicized by Lan Dazhuang''s loud curses when he moved, making it known to all the neighbors! So Xu Gong turned out to be the son-in-law of Lan Shu''s sister? So it turned out that Xu Gong relied on Lan Shu''s sister''s family to have the money to go to college? It turned out that Xu Gong was a villain who crossed rivers and demolished bridges! Once he got rich, did he despise his wife who was kind to him back then? For a long time, Xu Yunjie¡¯s good impression of gentleness and kindness among the workers in the machinery factory disappeared suddenly! Instead, all the neighbors and co-workers looked at him with disdain. When Xu Yunjie noticed this, it was useless for him to explain it! In this era of lack of entertainment activities, whenever anyone has a piece of gossip, it is definitely something that is often talked about as a topic of chatting after dinner. Even rumors that are based on rumours, can be said to be true, let alone the real thing, from an honest mouth like Lan Dazhuang? So no one believed Xu Yunjie''s defense. They only believe what they hear with their own ears! ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu, who was going back to the village with Lan Dazhuang, was inevitably asked by her elder brother how she was doing in the city along the way. Regarding the situation of the original owner, Lan Shu told Lan Dazhuang every detail based on the memories she had obtained. Lan Dazhuang heard that his little sister had been with Xu Yunjie for a month, not only did she not eat well, but also suffered from Xu Yunjie''s cold face, he was furious! "If I had known that that ungrateful white-eyed wolf would treat you like this, I should have left later, waited for him to come back, and beat him hard to vent my anger on you!" Lan Dazhuang regretted it! Regret that he had no strength, but he didn''t hit Xu Yunjie''s face with his fist, so he just left, easily letting go of that **** who bullied his sister! Besides, Lan Shu listened to Lan Dazhuang''s words and remained silent the whole time. She is not the original owner, so she will not comment on previous matters. But in the future, she will not let herself be bullied by anyone. Under Lan Dazhuang''s care and nudges, after more than an hour, Lan Shu returned to the original owner''s home in Tianshui Village. Breathing the fresh air of the village with the fragrance of green grass, Lan Shu came to this era, and her flustered and impetuous mood gradually calmed down. She, who had no home before, suddenly had some expectations for a home in this era¡ª ¡­ The Lan family in Tianshui Village is a household name in the village. Although the Lan family is an outsider in the village, they have never been treated as outsiders by the villagers. About twenty years ago, in the early 1950s, a large number of educated youths from the city went to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Among them, two young educated youths got married and settled down in the village. Not long after, the newlyweds had a child, and their first child was Lan Dazhuang! (end of this chapter) Chapter 8: go home Chapter 8 Homecoming Lan Dazhuang is not called Lan Dazhuang, but he was born strong and has strength since he was a child, so he is called Dazhuang by the villagers. Until he grew up, he was used to the name. After Lan Dazhuang, the Lan family still has two sons and a daughter. Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu respectively. Everyone in the village knows that the eldest of the three sons of the Lan family is an expert in farming, the second was admitted to a medical school a few years ago, and now works as a doctor in the city hospital. As for the third, he also went to college outside. will go home. In the eyes of the villagers, the three brothers of the Lan family are all capable, with the only exception being the youngest daughter of the Lan family! As we all know, Lan Shu, the youngest daughter of the Lan family, is fat and lazy. In an ordinary patriarchal family, even a dog would be disliked, but she is favored by the old couple and three elder brothers of the Lan family! ¡­ At noon today, Lan Dazhuang and Xu''s elder sister had a quarrel at the entrance of the village, and hurried to the county seat. The eldest sister of the Xu family ran home with a guilty face and panic. This incident made many people in the village speculate that the in-law relationship between the Xu family and the Lan family might be in trouble! The news spread quickly, and by the time it reached Lan Shengli, the head of the Lan family, Lan Shengli had turned into a lazy daughter of the Lan family. She was wronged by arguing with college students of the Xu family in the county town. Lan Dazhuang knew about it and ran to teach her a lesson. The Xu family is a college student. The words spread with nose and eyes, as if the messenger had seen it with his own eyes. Hearing the news that his daughter was being bullied, Lan Shengli immediately went to Xu''s family in the east of the village to ask the matter clearly! Just about to go out, suddenly, there was a sound of a tractor coming from outside the door. In the entire Tianshui Village, except for the village head¡¯s house, only his house has a tractor, and his tractor is new for less than two years, so the sound is easy to distinguish. The one outside belongs to his family! Immediately afterwards, the voice of his wife Chang Chunfang sounded from outside the courtyard¡ª "Da Zhuang and Shu Shu are back!" Lan Shengli, who was nearly fifty years old, ran out the door as soon as he heard his daughter came back. Waiting for him to stand at the gate, seeing his fat and white daughter sitting on his tractor not far away, and thinking of the rumors in the village, the old father almost burst into tears~! Across the way, the tractor stopped, and Lan Shu jumped off the tractor. The first thing she heard was... "Shu Shu, my baby, why are you so skinny!" Lan Shu:? ? The other party''s sincere tone almost made her feel that she was really thin! Fortunately, she reached out and squeezed the thick ''swimming ring'' on her stomach in time to wake up. I believed your nonsense! She looked up, and outside a house not far away, two middle-aged men and women in their forties were looking at her with concern. Seeing the two of them for the first time, the identities of the two immediately popped up in Lan Shu''s memory¡ª The person who said that she lost weight just now is the adoptive father of the original owner in the countryside. The woman beside him with his hair in his arms is her adoptive mother. "Dad, Mom, I''m back." Lan Shu stepped forward. Probably affected by the memory left by the original owner in her body, she yelled parents very naturally. "My darling has suffered..." Seeing her daughter taking out a large pile of clothes and returning with two small bundles on the tractor, Chang Chunfang felt distressed. "Old Xu''s family is such a bunch of cowards! How dare you bully my precious daughter like this!" Lan Shengli was half concerned and half angry. At this moment, Lan Shengli even made a decision in his heart. If Xu Yunjie really bullied his daughter, he would never let that boy Xu Yunjie feel better! The concern of the two elders was seen by Lan Shu. Lan Shu was very envious that the original owner had such parents. She was about to say something to comfort the two of them, but before she could say it, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang dragged her into the house one by one. Behind him, Lan Dazhuang parked the tractor and walked in. Lan Dazhuang has already found out the details of the matter between the younger sister and Xu Yunjie from the younger sister. So when Chang Chunfang went to the kitchen to prepare delicious food for her daughter, Lan Shengli and Lan Shu, father and daughter, just sat down in the main room. Lan Dazhuang immediately explained the situation of the little sister to his father in terms of his own subjective consciousness. . And scolded Xu Yunjie bloody! Watching Lan Dazhuang''s emotional retelling the whole time, Lan Shu couldn''t even get in a word! Lan Shengli just thought that his daughter was being bullied by the Xu family boy, but he never thought that his precious daughter was divorced! In the past month in the county, how much wronged must his baby Shushu have suffered to give up on Xu Yunjie? Lan Shengli didn''t even dare to think about it! He only knows that the baby he holds in his hand has been greatly wronged! The expression on Lan Shengli''s face changed a few times, and then he stood up and walked out the door¡ª Lan Dazhuang saw him and followed him out. Father and son are connected, he knows what his father is going to do when his father makes a move. Seeing the father and son picking up the farm tools placed against the wall outside the door, they looked like they were fighting. After a short moment of shock, Lan Shu immediately got up and shouted! "Dad, brother, don''t worry, although Xu Yunjie and I divorced, I didn''t suffer in the end." Lan Shu''s words did not stop the father and son of the Lan family. In Lan Shengli''s view, the daughter must have endured a lot of hardships in the county town to get to the point of divorce before she came up with the idea of ??separating from Xu Yunjie. As a father, he must go to the Xu family to seek an explanation for his precious daughter! Although Lan Shu didn''t know what the original owner''s father was thinking, she didn''t want the matter to develop into a fight between the two families. In case of a good or bad fight, no matter who is injured, the other will definitely pay the price. So she ran out following in the footsteps of the Lan family father and son, and stretched out her hand to block them. "Dad, what the Xu family owes our family, what Xu Yunjie owes me, I have already returned!" Lan Shengli was startled when he heard this, and stood still, "Are you coming back?" He didn''t understand the meaning of his daughter''s words for a moment. "Yes, Xu Yunjie owed our family back then, and our family gave Xu Yunjie in the past few years, a total of 700 yuan, I want to get it all back." When this matter was on the way, because Lan Dazhuang was too emotional, Lan Shu hadn''t had time to tell him. Now that she opened her mouth, the Lan family father and son knew that maybe their daughter/sister was not completely bullied in the county? Otherwise, with the poverty of the Xu family and Xu Yunjie''s calculations, it would be impossible to spend so much money. "Scheming guy like Xu Yunjie, I don''t care." Lan Shu said. "The divorce is because I didn''t like Xu Yunjie anymore, so I dumped him, and my elder brother said that he will find me a better man in the future." In order to dissuade the father and son from the Lan family from having a fight with the Xu family, Lan Shu had to bring up the matter of remarriage so that the family members could divert their attention, and then they had other hopes. Boys, after you vote, you can also read my other finished books~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 9: while losing weight Chapter 9 Weight loss in progress When Lan Dazhuang heard his sister mentioning himself, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "That is to say, I have promised my little sister that I will find a better man for my little sister!" Looking at his daughter''s obstruction and his son''s assurance, Lan Shengli hesitated for a while before putting down the farm tools in his hand. Think about it too, what is Xu Yunjie? He is not worthy of his simple, kind and lovely daughter! That kind of ungrateful person dares to treat his daughter badly now. When he is gone in a few decades, his daughter''s life will only be more miserable! So if Shu Shu divorces, let¡¯s get a divorce. As a father, he will definitely keep his eyes open next time and find a good match for his daughter! ¡­ In Tianshui Village, although the Lan family has a small population, the houses are not small. In other families, three generations live under the same roof, and only a dozen or so members of the family live in seven or eight houses in one compound. As for the six members of the Lan family, there are more than one person per room, and they all live in green brick houses! Although this is not the only one in Tianshui Village, it definitely ranks high. In the past few days, news of the divorce between the youngest daughter of the Lan family and the university student of the Xu family has spread throughout the village. There are too few divorced people these days, so this matter can be said to be a sensation in Tianshui Village! While many villagers were discussing behind their backs and watching jokes, the Lan family released news that they would find a son-in-law for their daughter. There are only two requirements¡ª Looks good! Good for their daughter! The villagers heard it, good guy! As long as the situation of the Lan family is changed to their son, it is a beauty pageant~! Speaking of which, the Lan family doesn¡¯t know what they think. The eldest of the three sons is now 27, and the youngest is 21. None of them even have a daughter-in-law. On the contrary, the youngest daughter got married and divorced. The sons of other people''s families are the lifelines, but in the Lan family, it seems that the daughters are the only relatives. While the villagers were gossiping about what the Lan family did, Lan Shu was sweating profusely in her room. Lan Shu''s room is in the Westinghouse, where the sun shines first in the morning, and it won''t be too hot in the afternoon. She hasn''t been out of the hospital since she came home. After the "big aunt" is over, she immediately starts a lot of aerobic exercise and yoga for body shaping. While losing weight, she also needs to ensure that her skin will not become sagging and ugly due to being thin. Only then can her weight loss be considered a real success! The Lan family, who knew nothing about her idea of ??losing weight, sighed every day these days. No matter how much Chang Chunfang cooks her daughter''s favorite food, Lan Shu only eats a small bowl of rice and a few mouthfuls of vegetables for every meal. Seeing their daughter unable to eat, this distressed the Lan family couple. Besides, Lan Shu locked herself in the room at every turn. Even Lan Dazhuang, who was always nervous, felt that her sister was too sad, so she didn''t want to go out. Little do they know that Lan Shu is losing weight in an orderly manner according to the plan she customized for herself... Obese people lose weight the fastest at first. Although there is no scale at home, according to Lan Shu''s own estimation, it is not a problem for her to lose more than one and a half catties a day. In just one week, Lan Shu ''shrunk'' by a small circle from the original fat to ball state. After losing about ten catties of flesh, Lan Shu obviously felt a little easier when she moved her limbs, and her breathing was not as dull and short of breath as before when her chest was surrounded by fat. It is a good thing for her to lose weight, but for the other three members of the Lan family, it is heartbreaking! Especially Lan Shengli. Before the day his daughter came back, he felt that her daughter had lost weight, but now, their daughter has no appetite to eat every day, and the naked eye is visibly thinning, how can he just watch? Lan Dazhuang also felt that the Xu family was responsible for his sister''s current behavior! He was even about to go out with a shoulder pole, to settle accounts with the Xu family! But at a critical moment, Lan Shu held her back. "Brother, I want to lose weight and become more beautiful, so that it will be easier to find a good-looking man." Lan Shu stopped Lan Dazhuang and said. "My little sister is fat and blessed, what man wouldn''t like it?!" Lan Shu: ¡­ This honey juice is confident... She forgot that in her brother''s eyes, no matter what her sister looks like, she is the best! But this didn''t stop Lan Shu''s determination to lose weight. "Brother, I want to lose weight and become beautiful! I want to make Xu Yunjie regret it!" At the critical moment, she could only bring Xu Yunjie out again as an excuse for her to lose weight. After hearing what his sister said, Lan Dazhuang scolded Xu Yunjie again in his heart. Sure enough! The reason why his sister tortured herself so hard to lose weight was because of Xu Yunjie! At this moment, Lan Dazhuang really hated Xu Yunjie and gritted his teeth! If he is allowed to see Xu Yunjie again, he must give Xu Yunjie a good fist! The reason why the daughter lost weight was soon known by the Lan family. Because she was worried about her daughter''s physical condition, Chang Xiufang immediately wrote a letter to her second son who worked in the city hospital, asking him to come back and persuade her sister. As for the third child, because he was in Kyoto and too far away, he didn''t tell. A few days later, the second son of the Lan family, Lan Xiuming, came back. He entered the door one after the other, and there was another person that Lan Dazhuang accidentally picked up... ¡­ A day ago, Lan Xiuming received a letter from home. The letter said that the younger sister is divorced! This made Lan Xiuming unable to stay any longer. He asked for leave from the hospital overnight, sat in the car all night, and returned to the village early the next morning. Walking to the gate of his own courtyard, Lan Xiuming heard the cheerful shouts of his eldest brother from the courtyard before entering. "Little sister, come out and have a look! I''ll find you a boy who looks better than Xu Yunjie!" "If you can see it, then our family will keep him and be your son-in-law!" Lan Xiuming: ¡­ Although he also feels sorry for his little sister''s divorce, and hopes that she will be happy, but his family must not do things that are difficult for others~! That is against the law! Walking into the courtyard quickly, Lan Xiuming found a drenched and unconscious teenager lying in his courtyard. The boy was wearing black trousers, and the white shirt on his body had already rolled a large amount of brown mud. He closed his eyes tightly, and his slightly heaving chest could tell that he was still alive. Seeing this obviously drowning person, Lan Xiuming''s first reaction due to his occupation was to step forward to rescue him! After his inspection, the other party''s breathing was smooth and his pulse was fairly steady. It seemed that the elder brother had already helped the young man press the chest and spit out water. Lan Xiuming heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that the drowning boy in front of him was alive and well. Then, he noticed the boy''s appearance. The other party''s skin is cold and pale, the bridge of the nose is high, and although the lips are a little pale, the shape of the lips is beautiful. This appearance is indeed much better than Xu Yunjie as the elder brother said. At this moment, Lan Xiuming was even a little worried. If the little girl really likes this kid, but the other party doesn''t want to, what should I do? Lan Xiuming can pamper the little girl, but it is definitely not a mindless pampering. He has three basic views. At this time, Lan Shu heard Lan Dazhuang''s voice, and walked out of the room slowly. She saw what Lan Dazhuang said at a glance, the boy who was picked up¡ª¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 10: found a beautiful boy Chapter 10 Finding a Beautiful Boy The young man''s eyes were closed tightly, and even his drenched appearance couldn''t hide his delicate face, slender figure, and perfect body muscle outline under the wet shirt. Such a scene with a miserable beauty and a strong visual impact made Lan Shu a little stunned for a while. And this boy... She looks familiar! Take a closer look, isn''t this the boy she met in the county called her eldest sister, who kindly borrowed her clothes in the end? At that time, we met in a hurry, because the other party''s super good looks made her still fresh in her memory. Later, when she washed the clothes and returned them, only the old lady was at home, saying that her grandson had gone shopping. Unexpectedly, now, she actually met the boy again in her own home! "Brother, where was he picked up?" Lan Shu raised her head and looked at Lan Dazhuang. "I went to the river beach to collect peanuts today. I saw something by the river, so I went to have a look. I saw him lying by the water, still alive." It was because of his anger and the appearance of the other party that his little sister liked the type, Lan Dazhuang picked him back. Listening to Lan Dazhuang''s words, Lan Shu was thinking, how did this boy get from the county seat to their Tianshui Village? The county seat is not close to Tianshui Village, so he couldn''t have floated along the water, could he? In that case, no matter how dead he is, he will never survive! At this time, Lan Xiuming, who was on the side, said after a preliminary examination of the boy''s body, "I''m fine. I''ve been soaking in the water for a long time, and I''ve collapsed into a coma. Let''s move to the house first." Lan Dazhuang listened and immediately followed suit. And Lan Shu recognized Lan Xiuming''s identity after seeing Lan Xiuming''s appearance! When did the second brother of the original owner come back? I always feel that it is a coincidence that as soon as the doctor''s brother comes back, he can meet the patient... Her second brother must have some Conan-like BUFF, right? Lan Shu was thinking in a mess, while the two brothers quickly moved the boy to the room of the third brother, Lan Sibo, took off the wet clothes, and found a set of Lan Dazhuang''s clean clothes for the boy to change into. Although the boy''s body is not as muscular as Lan Dazhuang''s, he is tall and the clothes won''t look too big on him. After changing clothes, Lan Shu was allowed to enter the room, and then listened to Lan Dazhuang''s almost salesman''s tone, "Little sister, what do you think of this kid''s face? Do you like it?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Even if she likes it, the other party is not happy~! And how old is this boy? She can''t do things like old cows eating tender grass! What Lan Shu didn''t expect was that her brother really planned to find another man for her? Compared to Lan Dazhuang''s enthusiastic recommendation, Lan Xiu is obviously much calmer. While changing the boy''s clothes just now, he checked the boy''s body more carefully by the way. "There is a blood bag on the back of his head. It should be that he fell into the water after being injured. There is no inspection equipment at home now. We won''t know the exact condition of the injury until he wakes up." Lan Xiuming said. Lan Shu just breathed a sigh of relief that the young boy''s drowning was not life-threatening, and immediately frowned when she heard Lan Xiuming''s words. A blood pack in the back of the head? Injured and overboard? Who did the boy offend, that he was beaten and thrown into the river? This is the rhythm to make him die! Fortunately, he was lucky enough to not drown, and was picked up by his elder brother again. Otherwise, it would be a pity that such a good-looking person would die like this~! "Let him take a rest first." Lan Xiuming''s voice sounded, and then he looked up at Lan Dazhuang. "Brother, if you still have work in the field today, go get busy first. I will go to the school and the commune to tell my parents about this matter. My little sister will stay at home and watch him. If he wakes up, pour him a glass." water." Although it is best to cook some soft, glutinous and easy-to-digest porridge for the boy, and eat some to replenish his energy when he wakes up, in Lan Xiuming''s eyes, what his little sister can do is at best pour water. As for cooking porridge, he can only cook it after he informs his parents to come back. Lan Xiuming arranged the matter clearly in a few words, Lan Dazhuang nodded, and Lan Shu had no objection. Put the luggage in his room, and then Lan Xiuming changed into a pair of cloth shoes that are easy to walk in, and went out with Lan Dazhuang. The two brothers separated outside the door, one went to work in the field, and the other went to the commune. When I arrived at the commune, I learned that my father, who was a propagandist in the commune, went to work in the fields with the villagers. Lan Xiuming went to the school again, found his mother who was a teacher in the village primary school, and told about the elder brother saving people by the river. again. Chang Chunfang still has classes here, and she can''t leave for a while, but fortunately, the second child is a good person, and she is relieved to leave the matter to the second child. After notifying the news, Lan Xiuming went back alone. ¡­ Not long after the Lan family, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming left, Lan Shu saw the unconscious teenager lying on the bed with trembling eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes. The young man''s dark eyes were somewhat clear and ignorant. The moment he opened his eyes, it was as if stars were shining, and for a moment, people couldn''t take their eyes off... His pupils gathered slightly, he first looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, and then he seemed to see Lan Shu sitting by the bed. The boy was startled, and frowned suspiciously, "Who are you?" His originally clear voice was slightly hoarse due to physical discomfort. Lan Shu''s ears were a little itchy when he heard the voice between a boy and an adult man. It''s a good thing she wasn''t voice-activated, otherwise, just this voice could make him fall! But her face is controlled... But if the boy is a little older, she will also fall... When asked by the boy, Lan Shu subconsciously said, "I am..." Before she finished speaking, her voice paused, and she turned to ask the boy, "You don''t know me anymore?" It seems that she has been at home for more than ten days, and she has lost weight quite effectively. She is so thin that people can''t recognize it? "Should I know you?" The young man propped his hands on the bed and sat up slowly, "Then who am I?" Lan Shu: ...? ? ? How do I know who you are? ! etc! He doesn''t even know who he is. He is... amnesia? ! Lan Shu: ¡­ Although she had already learned from her second brother that there was a blood bag on the back of the boy''s head, she never thought that the boy would lose his memory. And such a **** thing as amnesia, will be encountered by me! Lan Shu took a deep breath, calmed down, and then looked at the boy, "Do you still remember who you provoked? How did you fall into the river?" When the young man was asked, his pretty face frowned. After a while, he shook his head, his voice was soft and sad, "I don''t remember anything..." Lan Shu: ¡­ In addition to confirming that the boy really lost his memory, Lan Shu discovered that compared with the cheerful young guy he met in the county town before, why does the boy with no memory have an inexplicable sense of vulnerability that makes people want to pity? Even she had the idea of ??caring for the boy. Sure enough, no matter a man or a woman, simplicity is the biggest emotional ''killer''. (end of this chapter) Chapter 11: take in Chapter 11 Retention When Lan Xiuming came back, what he saw was his little sister and the boy who woke up staring at each other. Walking into the room, Lan Xiuming asked, "What''s wrong?" "Second brother, he lost his memory." Lan Shu immediately informed the situation. She thinks that professional things need to be done by professional people. The second brother is a doctor. Maybe it can cure amnesia? But Lan Xiuming was stunned when he heard what the little girl said! He walked up to the young man with a deep tone, "It will be troublesome if you really lose your memory." Sighing, Lan Xiuming continued. "This situation should be that you have a blood clot in your brain, which is pressing on the cranial nerve. You need surgery to remove the blood clot. At the same time, the risk is not small. Whether you can restore the memory in the end depends on the recovery in the later stage." That is to say, even if an operation is performed, the memory may not be restored. In addition to costing a lot of money for an operation, you also need to hire a highly skilled brain surgeon. At least the brain surgeons in their county or even the city cannot perform such difficult operations. So it is difficult for a teenager to recover his memory. Knowing his situation, the young man was stunned. Although he has no previous memories, he also knows that his current situation is very bad. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the words of the fat sister he saw for the first time when he woke up just now¡ª Looking at Lan Shu, the boy''s voice was hoarse and expectant, "Did you save me? Do you... know me?" "My elder brother saved you." Lan Shu replied. As for another question from the teenager... She does know teenagers. Lan Shu didn''t hide anything about this, and immediately told about the boy she met in the county. Of course, the fact that the boy called her eldest sister was concealed. Learning that the boy had relatives in the county, Lan Xiuming finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Then wait for your body to recover in a few days, and we will send you to the county to find your family." This was originally the best solution, but after finishing the work in the field, Lan Dazhuang, who heard his second brother say that he would send away the boy he picked up as soon as he came back, disagreed! Placing the farm tools in his hand against the wall to the door, Lan Dazhuang strode into the room where the teenager was placed. He said as he walked, "Little sister hasn''t said whether she likes it or not, do you want to keep him as a door-to-door..." Before he finished speaking, Lan Xiuming turned around and raised his hand to cover his elder brother''s mouth. Because the little girl doesn''t have that much interest in the boy, she must be sent away as soon as possible~! The ''interaction'' between the two brothers did not make the young man aware of anything. He just listened to Lan Xiuming''s arrangement and subconsciously resisted in his heart! Bowed his head and remained silent for a moment, the boy had already made a decision. "I can''t go! Although I also want to know who I am, but the fat sister said, that grandma is old, if she learns about my amnesia, if she is stimulated, what should I do?" Fat sister? Hearing this title, Lan Shu was about to go crazy on the spot! Before it was the eldest sister, but now it is the fat sister! Whether this young man has amnesia or not, he doesn¡¯t have anything good to say, right? I was about to correct the address of the other party, when suddenly, I heard the young man say again, "Can you take me in for a while? I can help you with the work. As for the recovery of memory, I will find a way by myself in the future..." Take in? Is this boy not going to leave in a short time? Lan Xiuming just felt that something was wrong, when he heard Lan Dazhuang happily responding, "Of course! You can treat this place as your own home, and it would be better if you don''t leave all the time, hehe~!" Lan Xiuming: ¡­ Lan Shu: ¡­ Both brothers and sisters looked at Lan Dazhuang together. Their eldest brother really looked honest, but he had a lot of small things in his heart! Lan Dazhuang is deeply obsessed with the matter of keeping the young man and making him the son-in-law of his younger sister! ¡­ In the evening, after Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli got home from work, they saw the boy picked up by Da Zhuang. Knowing what his eldest son wanted, Lan Shengli suddenly felt that it was feasible! Chang Chunfang was willing to take in this handsome boy who had lost his memory out of pure kindness. It happened that the third child, Lan Sibo, was not around, so the boy was temporarily allowed to live in the third child''s room. The house of the Lan family faces south, with three rooms in the main room, two rooms in the east room and two rooms in the west room, and a large yard. Near the door, there are half an extra room on the left and right, which are used as the kitchen and hut at home. Lan Shu''s room is the first one in the west room, close to the main room, and the boy is now living next door to her. It was dinner time, when the family was eating in the main hall, Lan Shu suddenly thought of a question¡ª¡ª She looked at the boy, "Although you don''t remember your name anymore, we should have a name for you in the future, right?" "It''s true." Chang Chunfang looked at the boy from outside with kind eyes, nodded, and followed her daughter''s words. "Then what should his name be?" Lan Dazhuang felt that the boy was picked up by himself, so he should have his own right to name him, right? Lan Xiuming gave his elder brother a blank look. Unlike him and his third younger brother who love to study since childhood, the elder brother spent his childhood in the crop fields without much knowledge. What can he be called? That¡¯s why the eldest brother likes the name Lan Dazhuang given to him by the villagers instead of his original name Lan Ande. Only Lan Shengli looked at his little daughter meaningfully. His family Shushu cares so much about that kid, could he really fall in love with him? Then he should think carefully about how to keep this young man... The boy who was drinking porridge was startled when he heard the fat sister''s suggestion, and then slowly looked away from the bowl. Looking up at the eyes of the people at the table looking at him, he hesitated for a moment, then the boy nodded. He felt that what the fat sister said made sense. "After that, I..." "We''ll call you Xiaobai from now on." Lan Shu said, not forgetting to explain, "Not only do you have a blank memory of the past, you also look quite white~" Lan Shu felt that when she read the novels, the skin described in the article should be the fair and flawless complexion of a teenager! Such skin makes her so envious~! Although she is also white and fat, the whiteness of her complexion is not the same as that of a teenager. She is cute and cute pink, while the boy''s complexion is noble and restrained cold white! Lan Dazhuang heard the name given by his younger sister. Although he was robbed of the right to name by his younger sister, he didn''t mind. But Lan Dazhuang thought again, "Little sister, the dog at Aunt Wang''s house next door is also named Xiaobai..." Youth:? The Lan family members were also collectively silent... But in the end the boy still used the name ''Xiaobai''. Because, as the fat sister said, he has no memory of the past, and his life today is like a blank sheet of paper... The new book will be PK in a few days. Whether the results can be improved depends on everyone~ Let¡¯s warm up the votes and comments first! (end of this chapter) Chapter 12: If you have money, let your family sell your son! Chapter 12 Money makes your family sell your son! In Tianshui Village, the news that the Lan family has more people is not a secret at all. I heard from Aunt Wang who lives next door to Lan''s house that he is a handsome young man who is rarely seen in ten miles and eight villages! The Lan family happened to be looking for the son-in-law who stepped in the door. Isn''t this just in line with the wishes of the Lan family? So, after the Lan family''s slacker daughter got divorced, the news that she quickly found a new handsome boy spread in the village¡ª This news made the Xu family living in the east of the village feel very uncomfortable. What do you mean you found a badass again? This is basically saying that the most capable sixth child of their Xu family is the little boy who was once raised by the Lan family? ! Before, there was a rumor in the village that the sixth son of their family was capable, and they disliked the lazy girl of the Lan family. At that time, they had such a bad reputation, because their family had indeed lost their in-laws with the Lan family, and the villagers said so, in their view, they also recognized the ability of their sixth son, so they endured it. But now, they can''t let the villagers belittle them Xu Jiaguangzong Yaozu, the only college student! ¡­ These days, Lan Shu exercises at home to lose weight as usual, and rarely goes out. The boy next door to her, ''Xiaobai'', was weak and had to rest, so he didn''t go out to work in the field with Lan Dazhuang. Lan Xiuming went back to the city two days ago. After he learned that his little sister was not trapped by love and couldn''t eat, but really wanted to lose weight and make better changes in himself, he was relieved. It''s okay to live at home, and the hospital is still busy, so Lan Xiuming didn''t stay for long. When the old lady of the Xu family came to her, Lan Shengli went to the labor union, Chang Chunfang taught in the village primary school, and Lan Dazhuang went to work in the fields. Only Lan Shu and the boy "Xiaobai" from outside were at home. Suddenly someone knocked on the door. Hearing the sound, Lan Shu immediately stopped her aerobics and walked out of the room to open the door. As she walked, she thought, it''s not even noon yet, and the eldest brother came back very early today. But when she opened the door and saw an old lady in her fifties and sixties with gray hair and a bad complexion standing outside, Lan Shu was startled. "Who are you looking for?" she asked. "You..." The old woman in a gray patched coarse sweater was a little taken aback when she saw Lan Shu. She almost didn''t recognize that this was that fat, pig-like lazy girl from the Lan family! The fat girl of the Lan family has lost a lot of weight than before, so she looks much more pleasing to the eye than before? But even if she is pleasing to the eye, she is no longer the daughter-in-law of their Xu family! "I''m looking for you!" The Xu family''s old lady spoke with a little aggressive tone. She took a step forward, pointed at Lan Shu''s nose and scolded, "You are still shameless! A divorced woman continues to look for men shamelessly, can''t you live without a man?" Mother Xu felt that if the lazy girl of the Lan family didn''t find a man, the gossip in the village wouldn''t imply that the sixth son of their family was once the little boy the Lan family was looking for! So all of this is due to Lan Shu, a shameless little bitch! After being scolded, Lan Shu matched the person in front of her with her memory. This person turned out to be Xu Yunjie''s mother! People don¡¯t offend me, I don¡¯t offend anyone, Lan Shu felt angry about what Xu¡¯s old lady scolded her just now, and opened her mouth to say, ¡°None of your business!¡± Even if the matter of ''finding a man'' is not true, but... "I am already free after divorce, even if I remarry, it has nothing to do with your Xu family! What do you mean by that onion? What right do you have to control me?" Even if the old lady is Xu Yunjie''s mother, even if the other party is quite old, but the old lady first swears at others for being disrespectful, it''s not because she speaks without mercy. Mother Xu never thought that the soft-tempered lazy girl in the past would dare to hate herself so much. She was already angry, but now she found that the other party made her seem unreasonable with a few words, and she became even more angry! "As long as you are lazy and fat, and you have been divorced, no man who is blind will want you!" Mrs. Xu''s loud voice quickly attracted the old ladies who usually don''t go to work in the fields, and the old sisters-in-law who are at home with their children. Many people came out of their homes and looked this way. Sensing that there were people watching, Mrs. Xu wanted to embarrass the Lan family, so she scolded even harder! "Even if your family has some bad money, what can you do? In the end, the daughter is rotten in your hands and no one wants it!" Lan Shu frowned, even though she was not quarrelsome, the other party''s words really made her angry! Looking at Mrs. Xu, Lan Shu suddenly sneered. "Our family is rich, so your Xu family can willingly sell their son to our Lan family to be the son-in-law!" When Lan Shu said this, Mrs. Xu''s expression changed suddenly! No one in the village knew about the fact that her son broke in the door, except for Lan and Xu''s family. She didn''t expect Lan Shu, a little slut, to spread the word like this! And these words were heard by the old neighbors who were idle watching the farce! It turns out that the Xu family''s college student is actually the Lan family''s son-in-law? They said that when there was a famine in the village a few years ago, the Xu family was so poor that they had food all the time, and no one died of starvation. It turned out that the Xu family sold their sons for food! Then this is outrageous. They sold their sons to the Lan family, yet they still dislike the daughter of the Lan family. Even if the daughter of the Lan family is a little fatter and lazy, but the family is willing to raise her, what right do you have to dislike you as a son-in-law? For a while, Mrs. Xu could even feel the contemptuous gazes of the old wives and sisters-in-law who were hiding from the theater nearby. But before Lan Shu finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Xu coldly with a contemptuous tone. "Didn''t Xu Yunjie tell you about it? I divorced him, but I divorced him! A son-in-law who cuts through the door, I can dump him as soon as I want!" "Actually, you are right in saying that as long as our family has money, if I want to raise a few bad guys, I can raise a few bad guys!" Lan Shu kept saying one sentence after another, not giving Mrs. Xu room to speak at all. "You have the time to come and yell at me, why don''t you work more and plant land, your family has a lot of people, the reason why you are poor, you have to think about it fundamentally, if you don''t work lazily If the work is too tiring, you won¡¯t go hungry and sell your son!¡± When Lan Shu said this, the neighbors who were listening to the gossip immediately felt that it made sense! The Xu family also said that the daughter of the Lan family is lazy, but it seems that there are not many hardworking in their old Xu family~! "In the past, your Xu family was considered relatives of our family. When I saw you, I would give you some face, but now our two families have nothing to do with each other! From now on, people from your family will rarely come to our door to make noises, which is annoying!" "Dare to come again, next time you will not face me, but my elder brother!" Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Lan Dazhuang''s steel-like arm and bowl-sized fist immediately appeared in front of Mrs. Xu''s eyes! Mother Xu couldn''t help shivering when she thought that she would meet that "humanoid farming machine" covered in bumps in the future. (end of this chapter) Chapter 13: Lost sesame seeds, picked up watermelon? Chapter 13 Lost the sesame seeds and picked up the watermelon? After Lan Shu finished speaking, she didn''t want to waste time with Mrs. Xu. She took a step back and was about to shut him out. But she took a step back, but her back slammed into a strong and warm chest¡ª Lan Shu was startled, turned her head subconsciously, and saw the side face of the young man who had been recuperating in her home for the past few days! Just when Mrs. Xu was yelling outside the door, ''Xiao Bai'' also heard the movement, and walked out the door. Although Xiaobai didn''t know what happened outside, but the Lan family took him in, so he should protect the Lan family well. Uncle Lan and Auntie are not at home, and Brother Big Zhuang has also gone to work. As the only man in the family, he naturally cannot let his fat sister be bullied! Just as he was about to help Fat Sister to drive people away, Xiaobai suddenly heard from the outsiders who were abusing her that Fat Sister was married and divorced! Fat sister''s previous life was so unfortunate? And now her former husband''s family is still coming to scold her, which makes Xiao Bai frown. Afterwards, Xiaobai heard the fat sister say that her family is rich, and if she wants to raise a boy, she will raise a boy! noob:? The fat sister gave him the name, doesn''t it mean that he is that little boy? Although he didn''t dislike the fact that the fat sister was divorced, and he didn''t think that the fat sister was heavier than him, but he never thought about marrying a wife. And he...shouldn''t be old enough to marry a wife, right? But when he heard the other party say that the fat sister is not wanted, he still couldn''t help but get angry! So Lan Shu discovered that after she accidentally bumped into Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai took her into his arms from behind? Then he lowered his head to meet her gaze, asked in a low voice, with a slightly displeased tone, "That Xu Yunjie can be prettier than me?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Listening to the young man''s magnetic and melodious voice, and his resentful, jealous tone. This...she couldn''t bear it! Mother Xu outside the door saw with her own eyes the rumor in the village that the Lan family''s newly adopted little boy was not only young and handsome, but also taller than her son by a head! Her son seems to be incomparable in front of that little boy from the Lan family... Mrs. Xu never expected that not only was the lazy girl of the Lan family not ''rotten'' at home, but there was such a little boy who seemed to like her by her side? At this scene, Mrs. Xu''s neck was flushed red! The old neighbors who were watching the theater naturally also saw the Lan family''s ''little boy'' at this moment. "Handsome! The lazy girl of the Lan family really lost sesame seeds and picked up watermelons~!" "That is to say, if I were to be forty years younger, I wouldn''t choose that ruthless college student from the Xu family!" "The girl from the Lan family is a blessing in disguise~" "If the college student of Xu''s family knows that his divorced wife has found a young man who is more handsome than him, he won''t know how upset~" ¡­ The neighbors didn''t deliberately lower their voices when they spoke, and all the discussions around them were heard in Mrs. Xu''s ears. Although she knew in her heart that her son''s appearance was no match for the young and handsome boy in front of her, she still felt ashamed and flustered when an outsider said it in front of her! "You, you," Mrs. Xu looked at Lan Shu and the handsome young man behind her with resentful eyes. "It''s shameless for you to hug each other in broad daylight!" The one who answered her was Xiaobai stretching out his long arms, ''Bang! ¡¯ shut the door! Leaving Mrs. Xu cold outside the door¡ª When the villagers watching the ''play'' saw this scene, some of them couldn''t help but burst out laughing. "Old sister-in-law of the Xu family, you shouldn''t be here today. The girl is right. She has already divorced your college student. Your ex-mother-in-law is really not qualified to take care of her affairs." "That is to say, it just so happens that your college students don''t like her daughter. The two divorced. Presumably your college students are also happy. Why do you come here to find her unhappy?" "The key is that I didn''t find other people''s unhappiness, but I was unhappy first, hehe~" Hearing that the old sister-in-laws in the village were all standing by the Lan''s house, Mrs. Xu was so angry that she immediately prepared to yell at the gate of the Lan''s house again! ¡ª¡ª Thinking of what Lan Shu said before to let Lan Dazhuang face her, Mrs. Xu was a little scared. She immediately shut up, shrank her neck, and ran away quickly... Back home, Mrs. Xu became more and more angry! During her trip, not only did she not vent her anger and embarrass the Lan family, but she was seen by the neighbors as a joke about their Xu family in vain! It also disgraced the Xu family! If she had known that the Lan family''s lazy girl had such a sharp mouth, she would not have provoked her! It''s a pity that it''s too late to regret now... ¡­ Lan family, when Lan Dazhuang came back, he found that his little sister was actually staying in the kitchen! The little girl doesn''t know how to cook, so the purpose of her going to the kitchen is obvious, it must be for Xiaobai! During the time Lan Shu was at home recently, this was the first time she entered the kitchen. Although she used to be able to cook some simple home-cooked dishes, it is really difficult for her to cook with a fire in this era. Plus the fact that the original owner used to keep his fingers away from the sun at home, no matter how busy the family was, they would not let her into the kitchen to ''waste food''. So she concentrated on losing weight, and did not take over the cooking job beyond her capacity. She, the precious girl of the Lan family, has no problem not cooking, but she was taken in by the Lan family. Now her body has not fully recovered, and Xiao Bai, who can''t do heavy work, can''t sit idle at home. It''s not that the Lan family insists on Xiaobai''s work, but Xiaobai himself proposed that he can''t eat and drink for free at home. Therefore, he took the initiative to take over the matter of cooking. Although Xiaobai has no memories of the past, he is no stranger to lighting a fire and cooking. Xiaobai feels that although he can cook, lighting a fire and cooking is not a common thing for him, but a basic skill. In addition to cooking, he should know a lot of things. Having nothing to do these days, with the consent of the Lan family, he flipped through the books in the third room of the Lan family. Whether it was a high school book or a college book, he could understand it, and knew it well. So who was my former self? Xiaobai wants to know, but he can''t know through the method of recognizing the old lady. In his heart, the old lady that the fat sister mentioned seemed to be a very important person to him, and he must not let the old man worry about him. Lunch is only eaten at home by Lan Shu, Lan Dazhuang and Xiao Bai. Before eating, according to the usual situation, Lan Dazhuang had to go to the commune and school respectively to deliver meals to his parents. But today Lan Shu said that she would come after the food delivery. The current situation in the village is like this. Every household who can work goes to work in the field. When the harvest comes every year, the village will settle the grain according to the centimeters accumulated by each family. (end of this chapter) Chapter 14: land contract plan Chapter 14 Land Contract Plan In the Lan family, apart from Lan Shu''s second elder brother Lan Xiuming and third elder brother Lan Sibo working outside, eating commodity grains, and receiving wages, the old couple and Lan Dazhuang both have their own jobs to do. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are educated youths who came to the village 20 or 30 years ago. Because of their knowledge, both of them got good jobs in the village. Take eight base centimeters. Sometimes Lan Shengli works in the fields when he is free, and he can get a few extra centimeters. And Lan Dazhuang is strong, hardworking, and not afraid of hardship. He does more weeding, watering, and fertilizing the fields than other people in the village. So women in the village usually get six centimeters, and men get ten centimeters at most for hard work, Lan Dazhuang can guarantee twelve centimeters a day! You can get fourteen at most! Accumulating over time, this is quite a fortune! The reason why the Lan family can be considered affluent in the village is because all members of the family are capable. Of course, except for their precious daughter Lan Shu¡ª ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu went out with two army green enamel jars. First, she went to the village primary school according to the route she remembered, delivered food to Chang Xiufang, and then went to the commune. Looking at the back of her daughter leaving, Chang Xiufang sighed in her heart, her daughter has really grown up! I will bring her food~ However, she forgot that in the village, other people''s children can go out to hunt pigweed at the age of six or seven, raise chickens and pigs at home, and subsidize the family. It was their family, because they didn''t want their daughter to suffer, so they didn''t even raise a chicken. When you want to eat chicken or meat, you have to spend money to buy it elsewhere. The commune is still a short distance from the school. Fortunately, it is not cold in September, and it will not be too cold when lunch is delivered. In the commune, in the office of the village party secretary, Lan Shengli was listening to the village cadres discussing the land contract when he saw his daughter outside the window. A few days ago, one of the new policies implemented by the state was to support rural land contracting. After receiving the news, the village head, the village party secretary, and a group of village leaders held a meeting for several days, but no results were reached. Some people think that it is a good thing to respond to national policies, while others think that once the land contract is completed, it is likely to break the current collective work model of trade unions. Of course, more people think that contracting requires money. After contracting, the land belongs to the individual, so they have to buy seeds and fertilizers at home, and there are more places to spend money! Farmers depend on the weather. If the weather is good this year, that¡¯s fine. If there is a flood and drought, not only will the year¡¯s hard work be paid in vain, but even the money for contracting land, buying seeds, and chemical fertilizers will be lost! So this matter has been hesitating for a few days and has not been settled. Because even if it is implemented in the village, no one is willing to contract the land. Lan Shu stood outside the door waiting for Lan Shengli to come out from the meeting, and by the way, listened to the whole meeting in the office. She has studied history, and knows that in the early 1980s, when the country implemented the land contract system, the first batch of people who contracted the land all made money! So she didn''t have any hesitation in this matter. After delivering the meal to her father, Lan Shu went home to discuss the land contract with her elder brother. Since her elder brother Lan Dazhuang is an expert in farming, then don''t waste his land skills! ¡­ At noon, at the dinner table, Lan Dazhuang heard his little sister''s thoughts, and was so shocked that the food would leak from his mouth! "Little sister, land contracting is not a trivial matter. Although our family has a little money, we can''t make too much fuss! And even if we contract, we should also contract the land. You want to contract the mountain behind our village... Is it possible?" For this, Lan Shu had a plan in mind. "Contracting land is naturally good, but our family has limited manpower and cannot contract in large quantities. Even if we hire people to work later, we will have to pay a lot." "On the contracted mountain, we can plant some drought-resistant and cold-resistant fruit trees in the mountain. In this way, the contract cost will not be too high, and after planting and survival, we don''t need to work hard to take care of it. Those trees can grow naturally in the mountain. There is a harvest." "In addition to planting fruit trees, we can also enclose the mountains and raise chickens in different areas. Raising chickens on the mountains allows the chickens to find bugs to eat in the mountains. This will not only reduce the risk of fruit trees being infested with insects, but also reduce the cost of raising chickens. The meat of mountain chickens is firm and nutritious.¡± As Lan Shu spoke, her eyes lit up a little! If this series of methods are used, their family will become rich sooner or later! Xiaobai on the side listened to the fat sister of the Lan family. From the accident at the beginning, he gave her the whole body after that! Fat sister can have such vision and ideas, but she only grew up in the village? Such a person who seems to be born with an entrepreneurial mind, if he was born in a big city, he would definitely be more accomplished! Lan Dazhuang was also heartbroken by what his little sister said. He suddenly felt that what the younger sister said could do it! "But the money for contracting the mountain land..." Lan Dazhuang hesitated. "I have 800 here." Lan Shu said immediately. Before, she sold more than 100 clothes in the subsidiary building of the machinery factory, plus Xu Yunjie''s compensation of 700, a total of more than 800 yuan. She planned to return the money to her family when she got home, but her parents didn¡¯t want it, they insisted on letting her collect the money and spend it slowly. Lan Shu didn''t have much money to spend at home, so she kept the money, and it just came in handy now. Lan Dazhuang heard that his younger sister was willing to use money to support him in contracting to plant trees in the mountains. Although he was very happy, but... "Eight hundred yuan is not enough, the saplings are estimated to cost several hundred, and there is also money for contracting mountain land and raising chickens..." "The rest can be found by the second and third brothers. We will contribute the money, and the eldest brother will help you. Let''s treat it as a joint venture between our four brothers and sisters." Her second brother''s salary in the hospital is not low. Although the third brother has only graduated for a year, Lan Shu, who has read the novel, knows that the original owner''s third brother is studying animal husbandry, and he joined a company during school. Research offices related to animal husbandry get paid every month. If you achieve good results in research, there are many bonuses. So now the third brother of the original owner must have money! With the level of unity of the Lan family brothers, it is definitely not difficult to use the money to start a business together. Although Lan Dazhuang is not good at using his brain, he also thinks it is feasible after hearing what the little girl said! "Then I''ll borrow the village chief''s phone to call the second and third children tonight and tell them about it!" Lan Shu nodded, then she seemed to think of something, and then shook her head quickly. "Brother, you''d better go to the county seat and call the supply and marketing cooperative. In case someone in the village head''s family hears our contracting plan and thinks it''s feasible, it would be bad if you don''t contract the mountain land to me! This matter Before the land is contracted, none of us can say anything, including our father!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 15: No more negotiating! Chapter 15 No need to discuss! It''s not that Lan Shu is narrow-minded, but that she must be on guard against others. Of course, what she wants to guard against is the village chief. As for Lan Shengli hiding from her father, it is only because her father is a propagandist of the trade union. If her father misses something, then their plan of contracting the back mountain will not be so easy. Lan Dazhuang didn''t think so much, but he believed and listened to what the younger sister said. "Then I''ll go to the county seat this afternoon!" Lan Dazhuang decided to act unambiguously. He finished his meal quickly, wiped his mouth, and drove the tractor out the door. Leaving Lan Shu and Xiao Bai alone, they only ate half of the meal. Usually the three eat together, but today the two are alone. Just now Xiaobai listened to the fat sister''s words the whole time, and saw that the fat sister was full of confidence, and it could even be said that she was planning a strategy, which gave him a feeling of looking at her differently! Fat sister''s words not only made Da Zhuang''s heart surge with enthusiasm, but even he felt it was an eye-opener! Especially the last cautiousness of the fat sister. This kind of talent that not only has the overall situation, but also pays attention to every point makes him admire from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, Lan Shu didn''t notice that the boy who stayed at his house looked at her differently from before... ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Dazhuang went to the county seat and brought good news when he came back. As the younger sister said, the second and third brothers have a lot of savings! The second brother has worked in the hospital for five or six years, and he alone can give out 1,500 yuan. This is because the second brother always sends money home, otherwise there will be more! Although the third brother has only worked for one year, to Lan Dazhuang''s surprise, the third brother made a breakthrough in a research project not long ago, with a bonus of 500 yuan! In addition to what he usually saves, he can also take out 1,000 as funds for brothers and sisters to start a business together. In this way, they have more than 3,000 yuan, which should be enough for the initial investment! My little sister said that they don¡¯t need to plant too many fruit trees at the beginning, they will try the seedlings first, and then increase the number of fruit seedlings every year. There is no need to invest too much in raising chickens. First raise a hundred chickens. As long as the hatching is successful, one hundred chickens can become a thousand in less than a year! even more- After LAN Dazhuang came home at night, he immediately told the good news to his little sister. Lan Shu nodded after listening, everything was in her plan. In the next few days, the siblings got busy separately. Lan Dazhuang frequently went up the mountain to choose the best location for future orchards and free-range chicken farms. On the other side, Lan Shu went to the post office in the county every day. After receiving the money remitted by her two brothers, she took it out and took it home. Although she can wait until the contracting project is negotiated with the village before withdrawing money. But when there are piles of great unity in front of you, who can withstand the temptation and not agree to let them contract? Lan Shu used psychological tactics and money tactics! Because it is not safe for a girl to travel with so much money, Lan Shu takes Xiaobai everywhere these days. ¡­ In Tianshui Village, the villagers have long heard that the Lan family has taken in a handsome young man. Uncertain when, the young man will become the back-door son-in-law of their Lan family. But no matter how many rumors have been made before, no one has actually seen the boy''s appearance. I wonder if it is true that the other party''s handsome man can''t be seen from all over the world? In the past two days, the lazy daughter of the Lan family took the boy out, and finally let the villagers meet him. Aunt Wang, who lived next door to Lan''s house, said that the young man was handsome, and no man in the village could match him. At that time, no one believed him, thinking that Aunt Wang was talking nonsense. Now everyone has seen it with their own eyes. In contrast, the young daughters-in-law and old women in the village are whispering that none of the men in their village are good-looking! It''s a pity, such a beautiful boy may end up in the hands of the lazy girl of the Lan family. But some people said, "The lazy girl of the Lan family is much thinner than before! Doesn''t she look ugly?" "Where is it not ugly? It is round and round, and it looks healthy and festive!" "After she lost weight, her eyes looked a lot bigger. If she can lose weight again, she should look pretty good?" ¡­ Lan Shu had heard a lot of these words, whether it was sincere praise or flattery, when she went to deliver meals to her parents at noon every day. Calculating the time, it has been half a month since she returned to the village to lose weight. In the past half a month, she lost at least twenty catties of flesh! The original weight of one hundred and sixteen is now less than one hundred and fourteen. Although she still looks fat on the whole, compared with before, she is not as visually impactful as before! Recently, the fat on her face has gradually decreased, and her facial features have gradually become clearer. Lan Shu took a look in the mirror, and the original owner''s appearance was actually not bad, even pretty. Every fat person is a potential stock. Only when you lose weight can you know how beautiful you are~ So Lan Shu is more motivated to lose weight! ¡­ September 15th, there are still a few days before the autumn harvest. This morning, three unexpected juniors came to the office of the village secretary. It''s not that their arrival is unexpected, but their words are amazing! "Do you really want to contract, contract the back mountain?" The village secretary of Tianshui Village, who is over 50 years old and has a short gray beard, was dumbfounded! Beside the village party secretary, the village head was also surprised from ear to ear. "Even if you contract, you should also contract the land that can be farmed. You can''t farm or grow vegetables in the mountains. What is there to contract?" "Why don''t you go back and think about it carefully, and discuss it with the elders in your family. Contracting land is not a trivial matter, so it''s better to be careful." Both the village party secretary and the village head felt that these three juniors were simply joking! "There''s no need to discuss it with the family. We''ve already made up our minds before we come." Lan Shu looked at the village party secretary and the village head, and said seriously. "The reason why the mountain land is contracted instead of the land must be that the mountain land is cheaper to contract. As for whether the land can be planted, it doesn''t matter, as long as the village contracts the back mountain to us." Listening to the words of the youngest daughter of the Lan family, the village party secretary and the village chief looked at each other tacitly. At this moment, the two of them already understood in their hearts, it seems that the matter of contracting the back mountain was entirely her idea! They have heard a lot of news about the daughter of the Lan family in the village. When she was young, she was spoiled by the whole family of the Lan family and did not do any work. When she grew up, she married the only college student in the village. She was divorced not long ago. . This girl is divorced and doesn''t stay at home properly, so she came up with such a bad idea! Lan Dazhuang usually seems to be quite down-to-earth and willing to work, so why is he messing around with his sister? "You two brothers and sisters should go back and discuss with your family." The village party secretary said. Although some people are not afraid of risks and willing to contract land is a good thing for the village, but they can''t just cheat these young people just to do the work promoted by the above. (end of this chapter) Chapter 16: draw pie Chapter 16 Drawing Big Pie It was Lan Shu who answered the village party secretary and took out stacks of Great Unity from her army green satchel. "There is no need to discuss, we have already prepared the money, just to contract the back mountain of the village." Seeing so much money, the village chief stared straight at his eyes. Village Party Secretary:¡­ In the end, two brothers and sisters, Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang, contracted the back mountain of Tianshui Village for 15 years at a price of 300 yuan a year. And the money does not need to be paid at once, but once a year. I counted three hundred yuan and handed it over to the village chief. When Lan Shu signed the contract with the village, she asked the village to add a clause to the contract. If the land contract expires and needs to be renewed, the brothers and sisters of the Lan family have priority in renewing the contract. right. That is to say, after the 15-year contract for the back mountain expires, the village can contract the back mountain to others only if the Lan family gives up the contract renewal. Neither the village party secretary nor the village head objected to this. Because they don''t think there is anyone else like the Lan brothers and sisters who have too much money and no place to spend to contract a mountain. Before Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang left, the village party secretary specially left a message for them, saying that if they regret it a year later and don''t want to contract the back mountain again, the contract can be withdrawn at any time, and the contract fee for the next ten years There is no need to pay. Lan Shu nodded with a smile and said yes, but in fact she was happy in her heart! They contracted a whole mountain! Only three hundred yuan a year! It is definitely not so cheap to switch to contracted farmland, but the price is far beyond her expectations. And a year later, she and her eldest brother will not give up and continue to contract the back mountain. Fifteen years later, they will continue to contract¡ª Of course, these things cannot be told to the village leaders yet. ¡­ It was approaching noon, and Lan Shengli hurried home without waiting for his daughter to deliver the meal. The autumn harvest is approaching in the past few days, and the trade union has been very busy. He didn''t have time to come back, but after he heard that his son and daughter had contracted the mountain behind the village with the village this morning, and the contract was for a maximum period of ten days. five years! This made him come back and ask about the situation no matter what he said! Back home, Xiaobai was cooking in the kitchen and was about to serve it in an enamel jar, while Lan Shu was waiting in the kitchen, ready to go out to deliver the meal anytime. Lan Dazhuang has not yet arrived home, and has settled the contracting of the mountain. The next step is to plant fruit tree seedlings and build free-range chicken farms. So it is imminent to buy saplings and build barbed wire fences for chicken farms. Lan Dazhuang has always been very efficient in his work. After signing the contract with the village in the morning, he immediately drove a tractor to the county to buy what they needed. So Lan Shengli came home, only to see his daughter. Instead of facing his son, Da Zhuang is such a nonsense contractor, Lan Shengli can still give him a few brains and scold him! Can be replaced by his own precious daughter, Lan Shengli is reluctant to lift a finger, and he is also reluctant to say a serious word... So after he suppressed the irritability in his heart and asked in the most gentle tone about his daughter contracting the back mountain of the village, what he got was that Lan Shu recounted all the tree planting and breeding plans that he had talked about with Lan Dazhuang¡ª¡ª This made Lan Shengli, who originally blamed Da Zhuang for messing around with his sister, suddenly felt that this matter was feasible! "If that''s true, will our family become very rich in the future?" Lan Shengli was a little excited when he said this. "Of course." Lan Shu nodded. "I did some calculations. It''s just our income from raising chickens. From investing 100 chicks to owning more than 1,000 adult chickens a year later, each chicken can be sold at the market price of RMB 1.8 to 2.3. This is still a free-range mountain chicken, the price will only be higher, and people buy it for two yuan, and a thousand chickens cost more than two thousand yuan." "What we need to invest in raising chickens is only twenty or thirty yuan for chicken fry. Even if we add the feed that the chickens eat at the beginning, it is not much." Every household knows that raising chickens can make money, but before the reform and opening up, the control was strict, and villagers were not allowed to trade privately, let alone raise a large number of chickens. At most, the villagers raise a few in their own yards and save them for their own food during the festivals. But it¡¯s different now, as long as there is a place to raise them, you can raise as many as you want. "This is still the situation in the first year. In the future, the area of ??our free-range chicken farm will only grow larger and more chickens will be raised. The whole mountain will be contracted by us. By then, let alone a thousand chickens. Even 10,000 or 100,000 can be raised!" "One hundred thousand!" Lan Shengli was excited before, but now he is a little shocked! He calculated silently in his heart, one chicken can be sold for two and a half yuan, and the one hundred thousand chickens are two hundred and fifty thousand! Their family is going to get rich! However, Lan Shu''s ''big cake'' is still drawing. "Dad, when the time comes, let alone our family being rich, it is fine to be the richest man in the village. As for the richest man in the county, it is not impossible to work hard~" As soon as these words came out, Lan Shengli''s mouth, which could not be closed in surprise before, opened even wider at this moment! The richest man in the county! He dare not even think about it! Now, his precious daughter has already regarded the richest man in the county as their family''s goal in the future... At this moment, Lan Shengli suddenly felt that he was really old. Not talking about the body, but the mind. This kind of thing sounds absolutely incredible to him, only young people dare to think and do it! It seems that I can no longer treat my children as ignorant children. Their ability is far more powerful than what I thought¡ª Originally, his face was ashen, and he hurried back to find his son to settle the score, but Lan Shengli changed his mind after his daughter''s words. When Lan Shengli left home, he was so happy with a bright smile~ Lan Shu''s side, her father had eaten at home and left, and she had to go to the village primary school to deliver the meals. Picking up the food that Xiaobai had prepared long ago, Lan Shu hurriedly left the house before the food was cold. Behind him, Xiaobai was still thinking about what Fat Sister said just now. "Does she want to be the richest man in the county? It''s not impossible..." Such a fat sister suddenly reminded him of someone. A person who is also very talented in business¡ª But who is that person? Xiaobai can''t remember. But he vaguely felt that the other party should have an extraordinary relationship with himself... ¡­ At the end of September, Tianshui Village ushered in a bumper harvest every autumn. The villagers were dispatched from every household, working in full swing in the fields. But these days, Lan Shu was lying on the bed in her room, too lazy to move. It has been a month since she came to this era, and the aunt arrived as scheduled¡ª Originally, two days ago, she was full of energy arranging the construction of the chicken farm on the mountain, but the sudden arrival of her aunt made her suddenly wilt~ In this era when sanitary napkins are useless, toilet paper has a really bad sense of use. She just walks a few steps casually, and it is easy to leak... So Lan Shu simply lay down. Thinking that she will experience such an embarrassing situation every month in the future, this makes Lan Shu even more determined to make sanitary napkins available as soon as possible! (end of this chapter) Chapter 17: Fruit saplings Chapter 17 Fruit Saplings These days, everyone in the village is happy that the weather is going well this year and the farmers are doing well. Baskets of corn were moved out of the field, corn stalks were cut and piled up into mountains, and food and firewood for the second half of the year were available. This can be described as a bumper harvest! And Lan Dazhuang also found a way to buy fruit saplings. Early this morning, a batch of high-quality fruit tree seedlings just came back from the neighboring province¡ª A large cart full of saplings entered the village, which immediately attracted the attention of many villagers. At this time, the Lan family contracted the work of the mountain behind the village, so it spread in the village and became known to the villagers. The specific situation of the country¡¯s implementation of the land contract system. Although there is no collective meeting in the village to discuss this matter, in this village of dozens of families, who doesn¡¯t have a relative on the village leadership team? Everyone knows the matter, but no one is willing to lure the boss to contract the land. These days, whenever a family has some money, the first reaction is to hide it well. Let them spend a lot of money, that is simply to cut their flesh! In the current situation, if the Lan family contracted the land normally, everyone might still think that this family is really rich~! But now, what the Lan family contracted was not arable land, but a mountain, which made many villagers think it was a joke when they mentioned it! Lan Shengli, the propagandist of the trade union in the village, has been laughed at so many times this morning. But as long as he thinks that in a few years, the mountain contracted by their family will raise 100,000 chickens, Lan Shengli will always laugh in his dreams~ Other people laugh at him now, let them laugh~ In the future, the villagers will know how correct what his sons and daughters are doing! The villagers laughed at the fact that the Lan family contracted the back mountain, but now that they saw Lan Dazhuang taking over a large cart of saplings, they even secretly called him stupid. The mountains are full of trees, isn''t that enough? Lan Dazhuang has nowhere to use his strength, and nowhere to spend his money! It is really rare for a large truck to drive to the village. Many villagers even temporarily put down their work and came to watch the unloading. Among the crowd, Yang Xian is thirty-two years old and lives in the village south of Tianshui Village. Yang Xian looks average, and his family conditions are not very good. His wife ran away with someone two years ago, leaving behind an eight-year-old son. Yang Xian liked to run up the mountains when he was young. Their side belongs to the plain area, there are not many mountains, and the mountain behind the village is not very high. You can climb to the top of the mountain in 40 to 50 minutes, so there are no large animals on the mountain, only pheasants, Small animals such as hares. Because he has gone up the mountain a lot, he knows where there are wild jujube trees, wild apple trees, and wild chestnut trees on the mountain. When he was young, he would go to the mountains to pick fruit every year, so he knew the leaves of fruit trees. At this time, a large cart of saplings was pulled in and unloaded, Yang Xian recognized that there were apple trees in it! So the Lan family plans to contract the back mountain to plant fruit trees? But even if the fruit tree is planted, can the fruit be sold? If you can¡¯t sell it, how can you make money? Although Yang Xian thinks that the Lan family''s idea is good, the risk is too great! If it were him, he would definitely not take such a risk! If you have money, you should put it in your hands to be at ease. And now, let alone being rich, he lives alone with his son, and he is so poor that he is almost unable to open his mouth... ¡­ Lan Dazhuang''s side, after a large cart of saplings was brought down, came with the delivery driver and two masters who planted fruit trees. Although Lan Dazhuang can plant trees by himself, the younger sister said that the fruit saplings should be planted immediately after delivery, and the delay may affect the survival rate of the fruit saplings. He alone can''t finish the work in a short time, so he has to find someone to help. And there is a trick to finding someone to help, that is, you must find a skilled person! Lan Shu would rather spend more money to hire experienced masters to work, as long as the survival rate of fruit tree seedlings can be improved. Every fruit tree sapling was bought by them with money. If it can''t survive, it will be a waste of money, so Lan Dazhuang agreed with the younger sister. Lan Dazhuang didn''t buy too many saplings this time, one hundred apple trees, one hundred pear trees, and one hundred kiwi trees that my younger sister specially requested. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the oranges grown in Tianshui Village might not be too sweet, Lan Shu would still like to plant an orange orchard on the mountain~ But there are apple, pear and kiwi orchards, which are enough for the time being. ¡­ Two days later, when the autumn harvest in the village was over, the planting of fruit tree seedlings on the back hill was also successfully completed. This is still Lan Dazhuang choosing a place in advance, clearing the weeds and nearby trees, and digging 300 holes, so that the saplings can be planted so quickly. The two masters who were invited to plant the fruit seedlings, after seeing the soil on the mountain and the growth environment of the fruit seedlings, explained to Lan Dazhuang the precautions for taking care of the fruit seedlings in recent days. And said that if these fruit saplings are maintained according to their method, the survival rate of the fruit saplings can reach at least 90%! Lan Dazhuang was still a little dissatisfied after listening to the teacher''s words, only 90%? Then out of the 300 saplings he bought, wouldn''t 30 of them survive? But there is no way. Autumn is not the best time to plant trees. The survival rate of 90% is already very high. The two teachers said that if they plan to plant a few more orchards next spring, they promise to increase the survival rate of the fruit saplings! Lan Dazhuang readily agreed to the subsequent cooperation in purchasing fruit tree seedlings. He remembered that when he was choosing the types of fruit saplings, the younger sister said that a peach forest would be planted on the mountain in the future, and even apple and pear trees would add new varieties in the future. Before the delivery car left the village, Lan Shu also rushed to the entrance of the village in a rather uncomfortable body. In addition to paying the balance of 500 yuan for 300 fruit saplings, she also paid 20 yuan for the hard work of the two masters who helped plant the saplings. Twenty yuan can cover half a month''s wages of the current workers, but as long as the two of them can put their best efforts in planting their fruit tree seedlings, then the money will be worth the money! After all, their cooperation is not limited to this one time. In the future, they want to buy various high-quality new varieties of fruit tree seedlings, and there are places that need two masters. ¡­ In the next few days, Lan Dazhuang was busy from morning to night every day, carrying water up the mountain to water the fruit tree seedlings one by one. Lan Shu is in a special situation these days, unable to do heavy work, so she continues to stay at home. But even if she is healthy and able to work, her elder brother will not make her work hard. Fortunately, Xiaobai''s body is almost recuperating, and he also helped a lot in watering the fruit tree seedlings. Although Xiaobai is young, he is quite strong and able to endure hardships. His daily workload is almost equal to that of Lan Dazhuang. Sometimes Lan Shengli would help carry a few buckets of water up the mountain when the trade union returned early. Looking at the three and a half person-high fruit tree seedlings on the mountain in just a few days, Lan Shengli felt unbelievable. The mountain behind their village was really contracted by his family! Besides, my son planted fruit trees on the mountain. After a few years, there will be three orchards! (end of this chapter) Chapter 18: Xiaobais thoughts Chapter 18 Xiaobai''s thoughts Lan Shengli felt even more unbelievable what was yet to come. A few days later, when Lan Dazhuang and Xiao Bai circled the free-range chicken farm near the fruit forest, erected iron bars around it, tied nylon rope nets, built a shed, and the free-range chicken farm was completed. The chicken farm is next to the orchard. Because the fruit trees are still too small, they are temporarily separated from the chicken farm. After the fruit trees grow up, the range of activities of free-range chickens will also increase. There is a chicken farm, and the next step is to raise chicks in the chicken farm. Regarding this, Lan Shu entrusted Aunt Wang in the village to help collect the chicks a few days ago. Now the price of eggs is one yuan and fifteen, and the hatched chicks cost two cents each. Lan Shu and Aunt Wang made an agreement that Aunt Wang should ensure that the chickens are of good quality, and Aunt Wang needs to raise them for a few days first, and she will pay 30 cents each. Almost every household in the village has chickens. This family sells three or five chickens, and that family sells seven or eight chickens. It is easy to receive a hundred young chickens. Lan Shu did not set a limit in terms of quantity, and in the end Aunt Wang helped her collect more than 160 chicks. A total of 50 yuan was taken, and all of them were placed in free-range chicken farms. They were raised every day during the day and put in cages to rest at night. By the time Lan Shu''s aunt of this month passed by, the situation on the mountain had already been preliminarily established. There are orchards and chicken farms. At the beginning, the brothers and sisters pooled more than 3,000 yuan, and now there are more than 1,000 yuan. With Lan Dazhuang around, no matter whether it is an orchard or a chicken farm, Lan Shu doesn''t have to worry about it. But seeing how hard her elder brother worked, Lan Shu felt that she should also show it. So this morning, she called Xiaobai, "Come on, follow me to the street to cut a few catties of meat and come back, and cook something delicious for my brother." ¡­ There are several other villages near Tianshui Village. At the beginning and middle of each month, there will be a two-day market on Xinghua Village Street, three to four kilometers away from Tianshui Village. This is also a place for villagers to trade slowly after the reform and opening up. To be precise, until this year, the fair did not take shape. The village is no better than the county town. Meat is sold every day in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county town, but the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village dare not sell pork, which has a short shelf life. Because it is rare for people in the village to eat meat, it is usually during festivals, when someone in the village kills a pig, and everyone buys some. Of course, there are also a small number of people who buy meat. Generally, families are reluctant to spend money on meat. Although the original owner, Lan Shu, usually eats a lot of meat at home, most of them are dried bacon that her parents gathered during the Chinese New Year. If you want to eat fresh meat, you can only buy it at the market twice a month. Walking all the way to the market, Lan Shu was already panting from exhaustion. This is the result of her insisting on exercising in the past month, otherwise, with the original owner''s state of being too lazy to move every day, she might not be able to come to this market at all. On the other hand, Xiaobai walked three or four kilometers without taking a breath. This physique can definitely be called great! I don¡¯t know what Xiaobai used to do? Not only does he look good, he has a good figure, he can cook, and his physique is beyond comparison to ordinary people. Lan Shu heard from her elder brother that when working on the mountain a few days ago, Xiao Bai did as much as he did. Being able to be compared with her big brother who seems to be a natural expert at work, Xiaobai definitely has a background! Thinking about it again, Xiaobai''s identity must be extraordinary if someone deliberately targeted him, smashed his head and threw him into the river. It''s just that those who harmed Xiaobai would not have thought that he was so lucky! Still alive. Xiao Bai who followed to the market didn''t know what Lan Shu was thinking. Regarding the market, he felt that he had never been to a similar place before, so he should not be from the village, so he could only come from the county, Or from the city. The market here is not big, and there are few types of things for sale. Most of them are things brought out by villagers in nearby villages. The two of them walked along the street. There were children selling eggs, old ladies selling handmade black cloth shoes, stalls selling candy and fried fruit, and occasionally a few people selling roosters. As for the hens, of course they should be kept to lay eggs, and there can be a steady stream of eggs for sale. As for vegetables and food, no one is willing to sell them. Nowadays, every household in the village relies on working in the fields to get centimeters. The food they exchange for centimeters every year may not be enough for them to eat. Of course, they will not exchange rations for money, otherwise It will be hungry. Suddenly, ''Bang! ¡¯ There was a muffled sound, and together with the sound, there was also the smell of corn wafting in the air. "What''s that?" Xiao Bai frowned. And Lan Shu was a little pleasantly surprised, "They actually sell popcorn! Let''s go buy it." As she spoke, she grabbed Xiaobai''s wrist and ran over there¡ª Lan Shu hasn''t eaten popcorn for a long time. This kind of thing that exists across the ages makes her feel very kind. A piece of paper is rolled into a pointed cone-shaped paper tube below, which is filled with popcorn, and a tube costs only 20 cents. Lan Shu bought a copy, paid for it, and immediately squeezed a piece of popcorn into her mouth. This thing is fragrant, crunchy and sweet, and the taste of saccharin is very light, just like her taste! Xiao Bai on the side watched Lan Shu squinting her eyes and smiling happily while eating, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that Sister Lan was like a little girl who hadn''t grown up. In her body, she doesn''t have the maturity and philistinism that a woman who has experienced marriage should have, and she doesn''t have the gloom and indifference of a divorced woman. Although she is older than herself, she rarely maintains her original innocence. He has known Sister Lan for a month. In Xiaobai''s eyes, the impression of Sister Lan in his heart has changed countless times. From the unattractive fat sister at the beginning, to the perseverance of losing a lot of weight in just half a month later, he was impressed. Immediately after contracting the village¡¯s back mountain, planting orchards, and free-range mountain chickens, Sister Lan¡¯s ideas and courage, not to mention the men in the village, probably no man in the entire county can match her! It was also at that time that Xiaobai''s address for Sister Lan changed from ''Fat Sister'' to ''Sister Lan'' in his heart. He admires a person from the bottom of his heart. And now, seeing Sister Lan''s innocent side, he felt that Sister Lan''s little girl''s appearance was a bit indescribable...cute? Suddenly, Lan Shu''s clear voice reached Xiao Bai''s ears¡ª "Why are you in a daze~ Come and taste it, it''s delicious." Holding the popcorn in one hand, she bumped Xiaobai''s arm with her elbow and said, Xiaobai just woke up from the state of trance, and after that, he actually had the feeling of being ''caught on the spot'' in his heart! In order to cover up his mood, Xiaobai immediately grabbed a handful of popcorn from Sister Lan¡¯s hand, and quickly stuffed it into his mouth¡ª "Eat slowly, even if it''s delicious, you can''t eat too much, this thing will get angry!" Xiao Bai didn''t listen to what he said later, but fortunately, Lan Shu didn''t continue to supervise him. After the two ate a few handfuls of popcorn, they walked towards the pork stall in the market together. (end of this chapter) Chapter 19: buy meat Chapter 19 Buying Meat Before going out today, Lan Shu had already inquired with her family, and she knew that the pork stall was under a big tree on the market street. The market street is not long, and the distance from the street to the end of the street is only a hundred meters. The two soon came to the pork stall. At first glance, there are only half a fan of pork on the stall. Although this is a half-monthly market in several nearby villages, usually there are very few people buying meat, so the butchers don¡¯t dare to buy too much. "Pork is sold for 70 cents a catty~!" The owner of the meat stall yelled, and people gathered around to pick and choose their desired position on the big fan of pork. Fatty meat can produce oil, pour lard into a bowl and let it solidify. Pick a little bit every time you stir-fry, and the dish will be very fragrant~! It is unrealistic for them to eat meat every meal, so just bring some lard every meal, which is enough to satisfy their hunger, so fatty meat was the favorite of most people in the 1980s. People in rural areas, counties, or even cities are all the same. Lan Shu didn''t ask for fat meat, she waited for the butcher stall owner to cut the meat for the meat buyers in front of them, and then Lan Shu pointed to the lean meat on the inside of the spine and said to the boss, "Tenderloin is five catties, pork belly Three catties, how much is the ribs?" Hearing that someone wanted to buy eight catties of meat at once, the owner of the butcher¡¯s stall suddenly had a smile on his face, "The pork ribs cost 20 cents a catty, and if you want it, I will give you 15 cents." so cheap! In Lan Shu''s era, the price of pork ribs was twice as expensive as that of meat! Nowadays everyone is tight when buying meat and only buys a little bit at a time. Who would buy ribs that are full of bones and not much meat? So the price of ribs is very low. Lan Shu hasn''t eaten braised pork ribs for a long time, and she feels sorry for herself if she doesn''t buy more at this price. "The pork ribs cost ten catties," she said. "Okay~!" The owner of the meat stall immediately cut up the meat according to her requirements, and cut off ten catties of ribs. Other people around who were also planning to buy some meat saw a little girl buying so much meat at a butcher stall, and even bought bones, many of them stared in surprise! A few older aunts kindly reminded me. "Girl, it''s not good for you to buy so much lean meat. It''s more delicious to eat meat!" "That''s right, there are still bones that are too heavy on the scale. It looks cheap, but in fact there are not many taels of meat removed, and they are all thin." Though the person who persuaded her had good intentions, to Lan Shu, lean meat is the best thing. She has already thought about it. The tenderloin is tender, and it can be eaten after marinating, sliced ??and fried, or mixed with flour to make fried crispy meat. Part of the ribs is stewed in soup, and part of it is braised in brown sauce. Thinking of the taste of braised pork ribs, she couldn''t help but drool... As for pork belly that is fat and thin, it can be fried or chopped to make dumplings. By the way, if it is buns, three catties of pork belly is not enough. If her elder brother eats enough by himself, he can eat five or six big buns in one meal! Thinking of this, Lan Shu added another sentence to the owner of the meat stall, "Add another five catties for the pork belly." The old aunts around who originally wanted to persuade her to buy fat meat stopped talking immediately after hearing this. They can see that the little girl is rich and can afford to eat meat every day, and she doesn''t care about the little oil extracted from the fat. With Lan Shu as a ''big customer'', most of the pork on the stall in front of the butcher stall owner went directly to a small half! Thirteen catties of meat plus ten catties of pork ribs, a total of ten yuan and six cents, the boss took the initiative to erase the zero, and only charged ten yuan. Calculated the price and it was right, Lan Shu directly took out a card from her pocket and handed it over. Other people saw that the little girl was so rich. Driven by her, the people who bought meat later stopped searching and bought half a catty and a catty. The owner of the meat stall is so happy to see that his business has become so good~! Before Lan Shu left, he did not forget to show his best attitude to greet her, "Little girl, go slowly, and come back at the market at the end of the month~" ¡­ When the two returned from the market at noon, they had already returned with a full load. Fortunately, Xiaobai followed today. He is strong enough to help carry the meat. Otherwise, Lan Shu would be alone, and there would be no way to bring back so many things she bought. In addition to buying meat, Lan Shu also bought a pack of rock sugar and some soy sauce. After returning to the village, she bought a bunch of scallions grown in Aunt Wang''s own yard from the neighbor Wang, and planned to steam a pot of steamed buns stuffed with pork and green onions at noon. In the Lan family, in the kitchen, Xiaobai usually cooks by himself, but today there is an extra Lan Shu. Xiaobai is in charge of lighting the fire and laying down the hands, while Lan Shu is in charge of cooking. Cut the fresh and tender tenderloin into strips, sprinkle with oil and salt and marinate for fifteen minutes, then mix with flour and fry in a pan. Chop the pork ribs into pieces, take out a small half and add sliced ??ginger, shredded green onion, and peppercorns, and simmer in clear soup. The remaining half is fried with the rock sugar she bought today to make the sugar color, add green onions, ginger, peppercorns, and a small amount of soy sauce. The soy sauce at this time is pure soybean fermentation, real ingredients, and the taste is extraordinarily strong! It can also be regarded as making up for the lack of other seasonings. In addition to the small crispy meat and pork ribs, cut more than half of the 8-jin pork belly bought at the market, chop it into meat fillings with Xiaobai, mix it with chopped green onions, add a small amount of warm water, salt, and soy sauce, and stir well. After the dough is fully kneaded and exhausted, you can fill it with meat stuffing and make buns. Wait until the steamed stuffed buns are wrapped and wake up noodles for 20 minutes, and steamed on high heat for 20 minutes, lunch is ready. At noon, when Lan Dazhuang came back, he could smell the tangy smell of meat wafting in the air before he entered the door. He was not the only one who was attracted by the scent. Several neighbors near his house walked out and stood outside their courtyards, breathing heavily. "Who made delicious food? Delicious meat!" The neighbors who smelled the smell were envious, and then according to the direction of the smell, everyone quickly determined that the smell of meat came from Lan''s house¡ª¡ª "Lan''s life is really good here, and they eat meat again!" someone muttered. "It''s nothing to have money to eat meat now, but after paying free land contract money to the village every year in the future, you may not be able to eat meat~" Some people are jealous. Whether people in the village are envious or jealous of the Lan family, these will not affect the Lan Shu family. When Lan Dazhuang returned home, he saw a plate of attractive ribs and a large bowl of buns on the table in the main hall with the door open. Lan Dazhuang finally knew where the smell just now came from! "Xiaobai cooked delicious food today!?" Lan Dazhuang was so excited that his steps became much lighter when he walked. Hearing Big Zhuang¡¯s voice, Xiao Bai came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fried crispy meat. He said as he walked, "I didn''t cook today''s lunch. Sister Lan personally cooks it." When these words reached Lan Dazhuang''s ears, he was stunned! "What? My little sister... can I eat the food she cooks?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 20: good days are just beginning Chapter 20 Good days are just the beginning As for whether it can be eaten? Soon, I tasted the delicious braised pork ribs, took a bite of the crispy and soft fried crispy meat, ate the soft meat buns with thin skin and big stuffing, and drank the most authentic and pure broth At that time, Lan Dazhuang finally knew that his little sister could really cook! On the other side, Lan Shu also delivered lunch to the parents of the trade union and the school. Usually, she always fills up a large enamel jar when delivering meals. Today, the braised pork ribs take up too much space, so in addition to the enamel jar, she also filled two bowls of ribs and crispy meat, and brought them together in a basket. The meal was delivered to Lan Shengli. Seeing the five big meat buns and a bowl of fragrant meat brought by his precious daughter, Lan Shengli widened his eyes in shock! As for the broth, it is not easy to bring it on the road, so there is no soup in the meal delivered by Lan Shu. But even without broth, Lan Shengli''s lunch at this time can definitely be said to be the best in the village! The village cadres who ate the lunch brought by their respective homes with him at one time, had long been attracted by the smell, and now seeing Lan Shengli eating meat, they suddenly felt that their food was not delicious at all¡ª The same thing happened in school. But it is different from the situation where Lan Shengli is attracted by the delicious food and eats meat. Chang Chunfang only ate two meat buns, and the pork ribs and crispy meat were just tasted, and she distributed all the rest to the children who smelled the meat and were lying on the edge of the window to look in. . Chang Chunfang doesn¡¯t share her lunch with others every time, it¡¯s because the meal sent by her daughter has too much meat this time, and the children can¡¯t stand the temptation of the smell of meat... ¡­ At home, by the time Lan Shu came back after delivering the meal, Lan Dazhuang had already stuffed five fist-sized meat buns into his stomach! He also ate a lot of braised pork ribs and crispy pork, and drank three bowls of broth! Although he was already full, the delicious food was in front of him, which made Lan Dazhuang feel like he could continue to eat. Xiao Bai, who was sitting across from Lan Dazhuang, hadn''t started eating yet. Although it was delicious, his deep-rooted upbringing made him want to wait for Sister Lan to come back to eat together. Seeing Sister Lan entering the door, Xiaobai immediately got up and went to the kitchen to fill two bowls of soup with stewed pork ribs. Lan Shu has gotten used to Xiaobai waiting for her to come back to have dinner together in the past month. Before eating, she washed her hands before sitting at the dining table. First drink soup to nourish the stomach, and then Lan Shu ate her braised pork ribs and steamed big meat buns. The pork ribs are delicious and soft. Although the steamed buns don¡¯t look very white, the flour used to make the steamed stuffed buns is all wheat flour grown by the villagers themselves, without any additions. The buns steamed from such flour are very fragrant and soft, and the taste with meat filling is simply amazing! Lan Shu ate a steamed stuffed bun, drank a bowl of soup, four pieces of pork ribs, and three pieces of crispy pork. After that, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in a self-disciplined manner. No matter how delicious the food in front of her is, she can''t forget that she is still in the weight loss stage! Her weight loss this month has been very effective. On the basis of her original weight, she has lost more than 30 catties. Now, Lan Shu, who weighs more than 120 kilograms, has changed from a big fat man before to a chubby figure now. She has basically got rid of the label of "fat man", and the next thing she has to do is to let herself continue to lose weight until she is about 100 catties. Seeing that Lan Shu didn''t eat much, Xiao Bai was really surprised. Usually, Sister Lan strictly controls her food intake in order to lose weight, and he is aware of this situation. It''s just that Xiaobai didn''t expect that Sister Lan could restrain her appetite when faced with so many delicious things. Such perseverance really made him admire from the bottom of his heart! Although Sister Lan can restrain herself and stop eating if she says she doesn¡¯t want to eat, Xiaobai can¡¯t. He didn''t expect Sister Lan''s cooking skills to be so good at first! He felt that even if he didn''t lose his memory, he had never eaten such a delicious food before! I don¡¯t eat more now, and I don¡¯t know when I will eat next time. So although Xiaobai didn''t eat as much as Brother Dazhuang, he still ate four meat buns, two bowls of rib soup, and a lot of crispy pork and braised pork ribs. At the end of the meal, Lan Dazhuang stood up with a full stomach and needed to support the wall. Xiaobai is also exhausted, but the situation is much better than that of Lan Dazhuang. On the side, Lan Shu, who didn''t see Lan Dazhuang''s appetite, watched Xiao Bai chew slowly and eat an astonishing amount of food gracefully. White flat stomach as usual. Lan Shu:? Is there a different dimension hidden in Xiaobai''s stomach? Eating so many things, why can''t you see it at all? Unlike her, her stomach will bulge after just eating. Xiaobai''s figure really makes her a little envious... ¡­ From noon to night, the members of the Lan family ate up all the ten catties of pork ribs made by Lan Shu! There are still a few buns, only half a bowl of crispy meat left, and about three or four catties of pork belly, which Lan Shu put in a bowl and sprinkled with salt to prevent it from deteriorating in the heat. It''s not that the Lan family didn''t eat meat before, but they never found it so enjoyable to eat meat! Lan Shengli didn''t even want to finish it, thinking in his heart, it would be great if he ate like this every day... But he also knows that although the conditions of his family are better than most of the others in the village, he absolutely cannot afford the consumption of eating so much meat every day. The old father''s thoughts were almost clearly written on his face. Lan Shu saw it, and naturally wanted to say a few words to cheer him up. "Dad, today''s good days are just the beginning. When our orchards on the mountain and free-range chicken farms have harvests, it will not be a problem for our family to eat meat every day~!" Before, she had already drawn her ''big cake'', but now she just ''drawn'' again on the basis of the painting. When Lan Shengli heard this, his thoughts immediately dissipated, and he regained his good mood. "Daughter is right, our good days are yet to come!" Beside him, Lan Dazhuang listened to his father''s words and nodded in agreement. Chang Chunfang smiled and believed what her daughter said. Only Xiaobai on the side thought that Sister Lan was right, but he always felt that there was something strange about it? Because he couldn''t figure it out, Xiaobai simply didn''t think about it. He believed that what Sister Lan said would definitely achieve¡ª ¡­ In October, the weather is no longer so hot. There is a cool breeze lingering over Tianshui Village in the morning and evening. The weather is fine, and Lan Shu is happy to come out for a walk. In the past few days, she went to the back mountain to see the situation of the fruit tree seedling garden and the free-range chicken farm. It has been more than a week since the fruit saplings took root. Except for a few saplings with withered and yellow leaves, the others are growing well. More than one hundred and sixty chicks have also grown up a bit, and within a few days, there have been quite a few changes. Although such changes are gratifying, there are also some problems. (end of this chapter) Chapter 21: go to the county seat Chapter 21 Going to the County Nowadays, the chicks are too small to forage for themselves, so they are fed by Lan Dazhuang every day. More than a hundred young chickens have to eat a lot every day. The wheat that their family distributed from the trade union last year, and the wheat bran that they saved when peeling and grinding flour, have now gone to less than half. As these chicks grow in size, the remaining wheat bran will not last long! So the biggest problem right now is that the chicks are running out of rations¡ª Lan Shu didn''t pay attention to this situation before. She has no idea about the food storage situation at home, let alone the amount of wheat bran stored. Now that she heard the big brother talk about difficulties, she should solve them in time. When Lan Dazhuang came back in the evening, Lan Shu took out all the more than 1,400 yuan left over from their brother and sister''s investment and handed it over to Lan Dazhuang. "Brother, we don''t have any wheat bran in our family, so go and collect some from other people in the village." The money was all managed by Lan Shu before. And it was the first time Lan Dazhuang saw so much money. An ordinary person might have stared straight at a long time ago, but Lan Dazhuang has no interest in money. Now he is full of rations for the young chickens. He took a few out of a stack of big reunions, and stuffed the rest back to his sister. "Wheat bran is cheap, and you can get it for six or seven cents a catty. This money is enough to buy a lot. You keep the rest, little girl. I can''t spend it if you give it too much." Lan Dazhuang said so, but Lan Shu didn''t see any relaxed expression on his face. "Brother, is there anything else?" She looked at Lan Dazhuang suspiciously. If nothing happened, Lan Dazhuang wouldn''t be frowning anymore. When asked, Lan Dazhuang sighed. "Although we have money now, it is not easy to collect wheat bran." "All the villages have been short of food in the past few years. A large part of the harvest of the arable land in the village has been handed over to the public grain, and the rest will be distributed to each household according to the centimeters accumulated by everyone working in the fields." "In the village, children have no ability to work, women have little strength, do little work, and don''t get much food. After a year, many people''s food is not enough to eat, so they mix wheat bran in their rations. Eat it together, although the taste is a bit rough, but it can fill you up!" So, wheat bran is something to feed the chickens in her house, but it is food to fill the stomach in other people''s house? After hearing the news, Lan Shu immediately understood the reason why her elder brother was worried. Families who can sell wheat bran for money must be in good condition and don''t worry about food. But there are not many such families in the village. "I''ll try to watch it these few days." Lan Dazhuang sighed again and again. From his tone, Lan Shu could tell that the elder brother didn''t hold much hope. As for this matter, Lan Shu thinks more long-term. Their free-range chicken farm now only has more than a hundred young chickens, and they have to worry about food. After that, when they expand the scale and raise a thousand, ten thousand, or even more, they need wheat bran. The quantity is astonishing! If there is no low-cost wheat bran to feed the chickens, their free-range chicken farm plan will not be able to go on. So this problem must be solved! In the current situation, if the village can¡¯t get it, they will go to other villages to collect it. Maybe there will be food for the chickens in a short time, but not necessarily in the future. But the more than one hundred chicks on the mountain were not hungry. Suddenly, Lan Shu thought of a way¡ª It¡¯s actually not difficult to collect wheat bran in large quantities. As long as you go to a county where every household has no shortage of food to eat, isn¡¯t it possible to collect as much as you want? Lan Shu originally planned to go to the county because of the sanitary napkin. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, she is going to go ahead of schedule! Knowing that the younger sister is going to the county seat, Lan Dazhuang is not at ease. In the evening, when Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came back, they also heard about their daughter going to the city. The two of them immediately worried that their daughter went to the county town alone and had no one to rely on. What if they got into trouble, what if they were bullied? Lan Shu has long thought of a way to deal with this. "I''m not going alone, Xiaobai will go with me." Lan Shu said in front of her family. Xiaobai only learned about this from Sister Lan before Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came back tonight. Sister Lan wanted to go to the county alone, and even he was worried, so when Sister Lan asked him to accompany her, Xiaobai readily agreed! As for the fact that he has relatives in the county, there is no need to worry. The county is so big, as long as he doesn''t take the initiative to walk near the other party, the chance of meeting acquaintances on the road is negligible. Because of Xiaobai''s presence, the old couple of the Lan family instantly felt relieved! Lan Dazhuang took a deep look at Xiaobai, and murmured in his heart, although Xiaobai doesn''t look like much flesh, but he is really strong. If my younger sister goes to the county with him, there should be no problem in terms of safety. Early the next morning, Lan Dazhuang drove his sister and his fellow Xiaobai to the county seat in a tractor. He has to go back to take care of the fruit saplings in the back mountain and the new round of sowing of winter wheat in the village, so he can''t delay for too long. So he and his younger sister made an appointment to meet in the county town three days later. Three days is almost enough time for Lan Shu to collect a carload of wheat bran... ¡­ The county town is much more prosperous and lively than the village. It¡¯s not like in the village. Many houses live in houses with mud walls mixed with straw and clay. Here, green brick and tile houses can be seen everywhere. Although Lan Shu has gotten used to living in the village during this time, after coming to the county town, she still feels that the environment in the county town is more comfortable and comfortable for her. Although she was an orphan in the past, she also grew up in the city. The place where she has lived for more than 20 years cannot be smoothed out in just one month. This feeling is not just for Lan Shu. Being by her side, Xiaobai also felt that he was more familiar with the environment of the county town. The place where he used to live was in the county seat? No, he vaguely remembered that the place he used to live looked better than here! Lan Shu''s side, because she and Xiao Bai will stay in the county for at least a few days, so they must first settle the place to live. If you are going to live in a guest house, then they must have a letter of introduction from the village. When Lan Shu came out, she didn''t plan to live in a guest house. She planned to rent a house in the county town. Renting a house is not expensive, it only costs a few dollars a month, and it is also convenient for her to have a place to store the wheat bran after collecting it. Moreover, the fact that she wants to collect wheat bran is a long-term business. As long as her free-range chicken farm keeps raising chickens, the demand for wheat bran will not stop. So after this calculation, renting a house is actually not a loss. (end of this chapter) Chapter 22: County shopping mall Chapter 22 County Mall Knowing Sister Lan''s thoughts, Xiaobai suddenly felt that Sister Lan really came to the county just to collect wheat bran? Why does he have the feeling that Sister Lan plans to stay in the county for a long time? At this moment, even Lan Shu herself didn''t realize that she subconsciously wanted to stay in the county... ¡­ It is not difficult to rent a house in the county seat. You only need to knock on the door from door to door to ask if there is any free room for rent. Someone is willing to spend money to rent a house, and the homeowner can earn a few dollars more per month. Such a good thing is rarely rejected by those who have spare rooms at home. Before choosing to rent a house, Lan Shu had already figured out that the house she wanted to rent must have a large yard, so that the wheat bran she collected could be accommodated. The two walked along the street, and after asking several families, they finally rented out a house that met their requirements. The landlord¡¯s sister-in-law is a woman in her thirties. There is a child in her teens at home. Her husband drives a large truck and only comes back once in a few days. There are three bungalows in her house that are still vacant and no one lives in them. Lan Shu negotiated the price with the landlord''s sister-in-law. She only rents two rooms, and occasionally occupies a part of the yard. The rent is six yuan a month. After renting the house and getting the key, the two of them can go to collect wheat bran. But before that, Lan Shu glanced at Xiao Bai''s big brother''s clothes... "Let''s go to the mall first and buy two new sets of clothes." Lan Shu said. As soon as Sister Lan wanted to buy clothes for herself, Xiaobai immediately refused. But immediately, he heard Sister Lan say, "Not just for you, I''m going to buy two new clothes to wear." In the past month, she has lost more than 30 catties. Wearing the clothes she used to wear on her body is like putting herself in a cloth bag. When she came to the county this time, Lan Shu didn''t bring a change of clothes, so it must be Going to the mall. Hearing what Sister Lan said, Xiaobai hesitated for a while, and did not refuse again. So the two set off immediately, heading towards the county shopping mall¡ª ¡­ Lan Shu naturally knew where the county shopping mall was located. The original owner came here several times before, and every year before the Chinese New Year, her brothers would bring her here to buy new clothes. The two of them came out of the landlord''s sister-in-law''s house. After walking for a while, they found the bus stop sign and took the bus to the mall. Today''s buses are not as convenient and fast as they are in later generations, and they run every few minutes. Lanshu and Xiaobai waited at the station for more than half an hour before seeing the bus approaching from a distance. With the waiting time for the bus, they can actually walk to the mall. It''s just that with Lan Shu''s current physical strength, if she really wants to walk there, she probably won''t have the strength to go shopping anymore. Getting on the bus, the two reported to the stop and bought tickets. Tickets are not expensive, 20 cents per person. Ten minutes later, the bus slowly stopped at a stop near the shopping mall, and with the flow of people, the two got off one after another. Having personally experienced a bus trip in the 1980s, Lan Shu really felt that her time was wasted on the road. Really no matter what era you are in, it is inconvenient to travel without transportation! In this day and age, she doesn''t want to buy a car for the time being, but she can still consider buying a bicycle. ¡­ At this time, the second floor of the county shopping mall, the clothing area. Xu Yunjie is shopping with his girlfriend Li Xiumei. A month ago, just a few days after Xu Yunjie and Lan Shu divorced, they received Li Xiumei who came from the city to the county to see him. When they were in college, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei fell in love for more than a year. After graduation, because he had to fulfill his promise to go back to the village and marry Lan Shu, he temporarily cut off contact with Li Xiumei. During the year when he went to work in the county, he accidentally got in touch with Li Xiumei again. They would write to each other every month. From the letter, Xu Yunjie knew that Li Xiumei still couldn''t forget him, which made Xu Yunjie think of divorcing Lan Shu and being with Li Xiumei again. The last time they met, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei resumed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. The two stayed together for a day, talking to each other, talking about life and ideals. When leaving, they are reluctant to part. After that, Li Xiumei went back to the city because of work, but they made an appointment to see each other in a month. This morning, Xu Yunjie picked up his girlfriend from the station. The two ate beef noodles at a restaurant outside, and then went to the shopping mall for a stroll. "Yunjie, what do you think of this dress?" Li Xiumei fell in love with a mid-yellow long-sleeved floral dress with bright colors. She thought she would look good in this dress! Although Xu Yunjie doesn''t usually pay attention to all kinds of clothes, he thinks that Xiumei is so thin, she must look good in anything. Unlike Lan Shu, she couldn''t fit into this dress if she was too fat! "Of course this dress is beautiful, how can your vision be wrong?" Xu Yunjie said to Li Xiumei with a smile. These words immediately pleased Li Xiumei, "Then I want this skirt~!" After she finished speaking, the teller immediately quoted the price of the dress. Aside, Xu Yunjie heard that such a thin skirt cost sixteen yuan! In addition to being surprised, I was also a little embarrassed. Now he owes his co-worker 250 yuan, but as for the 50 yuan owed by his elder sister, he is not in a hurry. His salary is only 46 a month. He originally planned to save money by saving 30 yuan a month to pay off the debt quickly, but now that he buys clothes, he is afraid that the repayment of the debt will be delayed... But he thought about it again, he just reconciled with Xiumei, and it was the first time he went shopping with Xiumei after work, and shopping for a piece of clothing made sense. So Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth and paid the money! Fortunately, he only paid his salary this month, otherwise he wouldn¡¯t be able to pay at all¡ª Besides, Li Xiumei took the bag of clothes from the teller, with a smile overflowing on her happy face. She knew that Xu Yunjie loved her very much, so she was willing to spend money for her. Even after they graduated a year ago, she cut off contact with Xu Yunjie because of family reasons, he didn''t care, as long as he returned to his side, their relationship would still remain the same as before! After shopping for the skirt, Li Xiumei saw a pair of small black leather shoes at another counter not long after. "Yunjie, look at these shoes, the heels are not too high, and they are just right for me to wear when I go to work." Li Xiumei''s previous leather shoes are a bit old, and now she just needs a new pair. "How much are these shoes?" Xu Yunjie didn''t directly say to buy, but first asked the teller who sold the shoes. "These shoes are eighteen yuan. They are lambskin shoes. The leather is soft and comfortable to wear on the feet." The teller immediately introduced them. When Li Xiumei heard that the shoes were made of sheepskin, she liked the shoes even more. After Xu Yunjie heard the price of the shoes, he couldn''t listen to the introduction behind the teller. The dress just now cost him sixteen yuan. If he buys the shoes now, there will be nothing left of his salary this month except for food... (end of this chapter) Chapter 23: divorce exposure Chapter 23 Divorce Exposed Xu Yunjie had already promised a co-worker that he would pay the other party some debts every month. So Xu Yunjie hesitated whether to buy these shoes for Xiumei now... At this time, a familiar voice came from not far away¡ª "Take down the pair of flat black leather shoes and take a look, and take down the white men''s sneakers on the other shelf." Although it has been a month since I last saw him, Xu Yunjie immediately recognized that it was Lan Shu''s voice! Turning his head to look in the direction of the voice, Xu Yunjie saw a woman wearing a red loose long-sleeve top, black wide-leg pants, and braided braids, with her back to him, picking up shoes in front of another counter. "How much are these two pairs of shoes?" Although the woman''s voice sounds exactly like Lan Shu''s, Xu Yunjie can be sure that the other party is not Lan Shu just by looking at her body shape. "Two pairs are cheaper, thirty yuan?" The woman was negotiating prices with the shoe counter employee, and then turned around and said something to a tall man next to her. At this moment, the profile of Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s talking happened to be captured by Xu Yunjie! Originally, Xu Yunjie had already determined that it was definitely not Lanshu! But now, seeing the other person''s appearance, seeing the familiar facial features... Although she lost a lot of weight and looked completely different from the original at first glance, Xu Yunjie still recognized that it was Lan Shu! Xu Yunjie didn''t know how Lan Shu managed to lose so much weight in a month that he could hardly recognize her. But now, after discovering that Lan Shu didn''t go back to the countryside, but came to the county town, Xu Yunjie''s first reaction was, what does she want to do! ? Did she know that she was with Xiumei, so she came to destroy the relationship between herself and Xiumei? No! Lan Shu is now buying shoes for a strange young man. He...is that her little boy? Xu Yunjie suddenly remembered that his second sister came to the county on business some time ago, and mentioned that there was a rumor in the village that Lan''s family was going to recruit Lan Shu''s son-in-law. At that time, Xu Yunjie didn''t care at all. He didn''t think anyone would be willing to marry a fat and unsightly woman who was also divorced. But now, Lan Shu has lost weight, and the tall, handsome man next to her doesn''t hate her eyes! ? Xu Yunjie''s male chauvinism is extremely serious. As long as he thinks of Lan Shu, the woman he once married, and now he has found another man, he will feel green on the top of his head! His anger rose in his heart, his fists were clenched tightly, and he wanted to go forward and ask Lan Shu why he was so shameless! A divorced woman shamelessly wants to find a man! ? At this moment, he has been staring at others, and Li Xiumei who is beside him has a panoramic view. Originally, Li Xiumei was still waiting for Xu Yunjie to buy the pair of low-heeled leather shoes for her, but she didn''t hear Xu Yunjie''s voice telling the teller to check out for a long time. Then she saw her boyfriend staring at other women! Especially when the other party is accompanied by other men. Xu Yunjie already has her as a girlfriend, and he still wants to see other women, which is too rascal! Li Xiumei was just about to warn her boyfriend when she saw a tall man dressed in shabby clothes next to the fat woman, whose profile turned so handsome that she couldn''t take her eyes off her! ¡ª Before Li Xiumei could recover from the handsome appearance of the other party, she found that her boyfriend Xu Yunjie walked towards the other party aggressively! "If you can''t afford it, don''t buy it. Isn''t it embarrassing to bargain here?!" Lan Shu didn''t know that Xu Yunjie was also nearby. When she heard Xu Yunjie''s voice, she turned her head and saw Xu Yunjie who was staring at her complainingly. Lan Shu:? Is the nosy nature of their Xu family hereditary? "I buy something, it''s none of your business if I don''t bargain!" She also said the same thing to Xu Yunjie''s mother, and it had the same effect as now. Xu Yunjie choked on Lan Shu''s impoliteness, and then he became even more angry! Annoyed by this, Lan Shu wanted to take seven hundred yuan from him, causing him to be in debt, and Lan Shu was disrespectful, and even provoked the wrath of other men after the divorce! Besides, Xiaobai saw a strange man walking towards them suddenly, speaking in a mocking and provocative manner, he instinctively took half a step forward, sideways to protect Sister Lan behind him. Xiao Bai frowned. From the tone of the other party, it is not difficult to judge that the relationship between the visitor and Sister Lan is not normal, and they are still hostile! Who is this man? Xiaobai can think of only one man who knows Sister Lan and lives in the county. ¡ª¡ªThe man from the Xu family that Sister Lan once married! This made Xiaobai more careful about Sister Lan¡ª The other party has already hurt Sister Lan once, and he must not let Sister Lan get hurt again! Xiaobai''s protection was noticed by Lan Shu. Although she was grateful, she was no longer the kind of weak person who needed to hide behind others for protection. Facing a scumbag like Xu Yunjie, she can put herself on the moral high ground every minute. And even if they fight, Xu Yunjie may not be an opponent based on Xu Yunjie''s fragile and small body that has not been fed a few full meals since he was a child! So Lan Shu took the initiative to walk out from behind Xiaobai, and she glanced lightly at the woman who was walking behind Xu Yunjie. The woman is not tall, with a thin and shriveled body. She doesn''t have much flesh on her face, her chin is pointed, but her cheekbones are slightly high. She looks a bit mean at first glance. Let her think... As mentioned later in the novel, the reason Xu Yunjie divorced the real daughter was not only because the real daughter was fat and lazy, which made him extremely disgusted, but also because he wanted to rekindle his old relationship with the girlfriend he had in college! So now Xu Yunjie just got divorced and got back together with his ex-girlfriend? "Heh~" She smiled coldly, her eyes shifted, "Xu Yunjie, long time no see, you just got divorced and have a new love?" Lan Shu said, looking at Li Xiumei meaningfully. Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Li Xiumei, who had just walked to Xu Yunjie''s side, froze. "Divorce?" She looked at Xu Yunjie in disbelief. "You, when have you been married?!" Hearing what his girlfriend said, Xu Yunjie finally realized that just now he was impulsive and forgot that Xiumei was still by his side. He hasn''t told Xiumei about the divorce yet. He originally planned to wait a few months until the relationship between him and Xiumei is more stable before confessing. But now Xiumei accidentally found out about it in advance! Xu Yunjie was a little panicked, what if Xiumei didn''t accept his divorce and wanted to break up with him? It is not easy to marry a wife now, and he was divorced. Besides, he didn''t want to lose Xiumei, his girlfriend, nor did he want to lose Xiumei''s father who worked in a municipal unit! "Xiumei, listen to my explanation, I..." Before Xu Yunjie finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lan Shu¡ª "Xu Yunjie, does your girlfriend know about your divorce?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 24: Puxin scumbag Chapter 24 Puxin Scumbag Lan Shu pretended to be surprised, but then changed her voice, "It''s only been a month since we got divorced, and you have a new girlfriend. You''re really powerful." These words obviously sounded like praise for Xu Yunjie''s ability, but secretly they were giving Xu Yunjie ''eye drops'' in front of Li Xiumei! Li Xiumei heard that Xu Yunjie divorced only a month ago! And she contacted Xu Yunjie half a year ago, and met Xu Yunjie a month ago! In this way, Xu Yunjie actually wrote a letter to himself to confess his love when he had a wife! During the period before and after his divorce, did you meet with yourself? When they met, they even kissed deeply. Even though Xu Yunjie was already divorced at that time, he could talk sweetly to himself without any psychological burden right after the divorce... Li Xiumei suddenly felt that she didn''t know this man she had been in love with for more than a year in college! Li Xiumei was furious and raised her hand to say ''crack! ¡¯ slap on Xu Yunjie¡¯s face. "Xu Yunjie, I didn''t expect you to be such a person!" After speaking, she turned and left the mall full of anger¡ª Of course, before leaving, she did not forget to bring the dress that Xu Yunjie just bought for her. Originally, Li Xiumei planned to stay in the county for one more day, to be with her boyfriend. But now, she doesn''t plan to be with Xu Yunjie anymore! Aside, Lan Shu watched Xu Yunjie being slapped by the woman, feeling that he deserved it. I thought Xu Yunjie would chase after him immediately to save him, but he didn''t expect him to stand in front of him and speak viciously. "Lanshu, do you think you can let me take another look at you by destroying the relationship between me and Xiumei?" Lan Shu:? "Can you be a little self-aware?" She really couldn''t help but want to have a good time. "It''s up to you, what do you have that is worth my troubles to keep?" "Is it because I want you to be poor? I want you to be short? I want you to have a problem with character? I want you to be full of calculations and ungrateful? Or do I want you to be knowledgeable but have no character and not be a person?" An ordinary and confident scumbag is enough! Xu Yunjie has never been belittled so much before! He was extremely angry, and wanted to refute Lan Shu''s words, but found that he was speechless by Lan Shu. He didn''t know where to refute for a while? When the two had a quarrel, there were many good-natured people watching in the mall. Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xu Yunjie, who looks like a man, is actually an extremely scumbag. The image of a scumbag who has seamlessly connected with divorce and new love, and who must have cheated in marriage to find a mistress has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! He was even despised and reviled by many passers-by around¡ª Some people say that if it weren¡¯t for the reform and opening up now, a few years ago, this kind of inhuman thing would have been **** and paraded in the streets to be criticized and spat on by everyone! As soon as he said this, the other onlookers immediately nodded in agreement. Seeing more and more pointing and scolding around, Xu Yunjie realized that his situation is not good now! At this moment, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Huh? He''s still a worker at the Linford Street Machinery Factory? It''s really embarrassing to do such a thing!" Xu Yunjie, whose identity was identified, trembled in his heart¡ª He was wearing the work clothes of the machinery factory when he went out today! Originally, his intention was to show off to his girlfriend a little bit about his current job as a regular worker in a machinery factory, but now, he was pointed out and despised. The divorce from Lan Shu had caused him to be gossiped by many people behind his back in the factory. If today''s news spreads again, his reputation in the machinery factory will only get worse in the future! Thinking of this, Xu Yunjie panicked, immediately lowered his head, walked out of the crowd in desperation, and left the mall... As for Lan Shu, looking at Xu Yunjie like a rat crossing the street, she just smiled coldly, "It''s up to you!" Then she continued to buy the things she and Xiaobai were going to buy today. This era is different from later generations. All commodities in the mall are clearly marked. Now, after the reform and opening up, many counters have been contracted by private parties, and it is quite normal to bargain in the mall. With the scene where Lan Shu was angry at the scumbag just now, the teller had a very good impression of her. The two pairs of shoes she asked for for 30 yuan before, the teller sold them to her without saying a word. After buying the shoes, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to the clothes counter not far away to have a look. I picked out a fitted light blue shirt and black trousers for Xiaobai, and found a black and white sports-style casual outfit. The total cost was only 23 yuan. Lan Shu bought a white shirt, paired it with jeans, and a long-sleeved dress with floral patterns on a white background. After shopping for coats, Lan Shu didn''t forget to buy a few pieces of underwear and socks. Knowing that Sister Lan was going to buy underwear for herself, Xiaobai blushed immediately! Looking at the young man''s embarrassing ears blushing, and still pretending to be calm, Lan Shu couldn''t help feeling amused. Really pure love! This is the boy~ She seemed to be like this when she was a teenager... Although her current physical age is only nineteen years old, she is nineteen years old who has experienced a marriage. In the eyes of outsiders, she is no longer innocent. ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to a street market that had just sprung up in the county seat. A few years ago, people often came here to sell things, usually food, eggs, and other food. However, there were policy constraints at that time, and everyone traded secretly. Now that they can do business in an upright manner, stalls have been set up on both sides of the original small streets. After Lan Shu arrived, she took Xiao Bai straight to the food stall. The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is not very old, but he already has white hair on his head and a lot of wrinkles on his face. He looks vicissitudes, but his eyes are shining. Maybe he had a bad life in the past few years, but now that he is free to do business, his business is enough to support his family. Lan Shu didn''t write any ink, and directly explained to the stall owner why she came here. Knowing that the two young people in front of him wanted to buy a large amount of wheat bran, the stall owner was a little stunned for a while! In the county town, even poor households that don¡¯t have enough food to eat will not completely use wheat bran as rations. These two young people are not badly dressed, and they don¡¯t look like they are poor, buying so much wheat bran What are you doing? What Lan Shu wants to do, there is no need to tell anyone, her purpose is just to make a deal with the stall owner. "I will collect wheat bran for a long time, and you can also collect wheat bran from retail households and sell it to me." After hearing this, the stall owner finally understood that the little girl in front of him is also a businessman~! Although he still doesn''t know the purpose of the little girl collecting wheat bran, most of them are raising livestock. It doesn''t matter what the other party wants to raise, what the stall owner cares about is that the profit will naturally come between this purchase and sale! Even if the wheat bran is cheap and the profit is small, he still understands the principle of small profits but quick turnover. (end of this chapter) Chapter 25: pretty good Chapter 25 is pretty good "I have tens of catties of wheat bran you want at home, and it costs six cents a catty. If you want it, you can leave an address. I will deliver it to you when the market closes in the evening." Whether it can be traded for a long time in the future is another matter. Now that he can clear the inventory first, it is already a good thing. "Okay, we want as much as you have at this price." Lan Shu said, and immediately informed the stall owner of the address of their rented house. She could see that the stall owner actually intended to trade for a long time, but before that, he might still have some concerns. Is it because he is afraid that if he collects too much, he will throw it in his hand if he doesn''t want it? That''s why we have to look at where they live before making a decision? It is normal for the stall owner to have such concerns, Lan Shu can understand. So she not only left the address for the stall owner, but also left a Da Tuan as a deposit. Wait for the wheat bran to arrive, refund more and make up less. Seeing that the little girl trusts him so much, the stall owner is also a cheerful person. Although he hasn''t agreed to help the little girl collect wheat bran for a long-term deal, Lan Shu can already tell from his manner of speaking that the deal between the two of them is almost inseparable. ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu took Xiao Bai to a nearby restaurant for dinner. One bowl of beef noodles per person costs only 80 cents. In a bowl of noodles, there are seven or eight slices of beef. The soup is delicious, the noodles are strong, and the meat is real. This bowl of noodles made Lan Shu sigh once again. The price of this era really made her love~! In the afternoon, instead of going to the grain vendors to collect wheat bran, the two found an old street, and every household knocked on the door to collect retail investors. The efficiency of collecting wheat bran in this way is not high at the beginning, because some families have no one, and some families only have a few catties. But not long after, in Lanshu told an old lady surnamed Zhang that she wanted to collect a large amount of wheat bran, and said that if the old lady Zhang could call other people to sell it, she could give the old lady a pound of wheat bran. A penny is a kickback. Hearing that she still has a chance to make money in her old age, Mrs. Zhang will naturally not miss it! She immediately greeted the old sisters who usually chat with her, and spread the news that someone was collecting wheat bran¡ª By the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai had received more than one hundred catties of wheat bran from Mrs. Zhang alone. Including the retail investors they collected all afternoon, it weighed almost two hundred catties. Now the wheat bran harvest has been received, but how to transport it away is still a matter. Fortunately, the old lady was easy to talk to. After hearing that Lan Shu would come to collect the wheat bran once a month, she offered to put the wheat bran in her yard for two days temporarily. In this way, they can be transported away together when Lan Dazhuang comes to the county with his tractor. Before dark, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to the place where they rented a house. When the two returned, the owner of the food stall in the street had already delivered dozens of catties of wheat bran. I learned that the little girl and the young man beside her went to other places to collect wheat bran in the afternoon, and the amount of wheat bran collected was almost two hundred catties. The stall owner didn''t hesitate anymore, and directly agreed to trade wheat bran for a long time. With the two stable supply points of wheat bran, Mrs. Zhang and the food stall owner, at least three to four months, before the number of chicks in their free-range chicken farm in the back mountain increases significantly, there will be enough wheat bran! ¡­ The weather in October has started to get cold at night. In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai had dinner together under the hospitality of the landlady''s wife. In the rooms rented by the two, there is also a quilt borrowed from the landlord''s sister-in-law for temporary use. When shopping for clothes and shoes in the mall during the day, Lan Shu forgot what they needed to make bedding for the night. Fortunately, the landlord''s wife was kind enough to keep them from freezing. The next day, Lan Shu asked Xiao Bai to go shopping early in the morning, and gave Xiao Bai ten yuan before leaving. When the landlady woke up and got up to cook for her son, she found that there was already a half pot of soy milk and several big buns on the stove in her kitchen. In the yard, Lan Shu had just finished washing by the sink, and when she saw the landlady''s wife getting up, she immediately greeted her with a smile. "Thank you sister-in-law, we bought a lot of breakfast, let''s have some together." That''s what she said, but Mrs. Xie understood that the food on the kitchen stove was clearly the two young people who bought extra portions for themselves and their son. Sister-in-law Xie originally just thought that the two young people didn¡¯t bring anything with them, and they came all the way to rent a house, and she took care of them as much as she could. Now, kindness is exchanged for sincerity, Mrs. Xie is very glad that the tenant she met is quite good. ¡­ After breakfast, Lan Shu didn''t plan to continue to take Xiaobai to collect wheat bran today, but planned to go to Qingyang County Paper Mill. The two of them collected more than 200 catties of wheat bran yesterday, and in the next two days, there will be two supply points, the stall owner Uncle Chen and Mrs. Zhang. When her elder brother came to the city, it was enough to pull a cart of wheat bran back. So after completing the target task ahead of schedule, Lan Shu can go about her own business. Qingyang County Paper Mill is not far from the Machinery Factory, both are near Linfu Street. Considering that Xiaobai might meet Mrs. Lin, who lives at the bridgehead of Linfu Street, Lan Shu does not intend to let Xiaobai accompany her this time. Before going out, she deliberately changed into the white floral long-sleeved dress she bought yesterday at the mall, put on small black leather shoes, and let go of the braids that were usually tied behind her head, and draped them over her shoulders. When Lan Shu tidied herself up and came out of the room, Xiao Bai glanced over in the yard and was stunned. It was the first time he had seen Sister Lan dressed up like this! Although Sister Lan is much thinner now than when he first met her, and her figure is not slim, but under the effect of this waist dress, she looks a lot thinner than yesterday! Lan Shu is not very old at all, but now she has her hair loose, and her long hair is naturally curly, which perfectly modifies her slightly round face, and changes her previous simple appearance in the village, making her look like a young and fashionable girl a feeling of. At this moment, Xiaobai even thought that Sister Lan was pretty~! Soon, seeing Sister Lan walking out the door, but not allowing herself to follow, Xiaobai subconsciously asked, "Sister Lan, where are you going?" Lan Shu stopped and looked at Xiao Bai, "The place I''m going to is closer to your relative''s house, so you can wait for me at home." "That can''t be done." Xiaobai frowned slightly, "Let you go out alone, what if you encounter any troubles? If I don''t follow, Brother Big Zhuang won''t be at ease!" What Xiaobai didn''t say was that Sister Lan is now dressed like this, and going out alone really makes her worry! Lan Shu knew Xiao Bai''s kindness, "But..." "No but, how can there be such a coincidence?" Xiaobai has already made up his mind, he definitely wants to accompany Sister Lan. As for the chance of meeting relatives, he didn''t think too much about it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 26: paper mill Chapter 26 Paper Mill "...Okay." Lan Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The paper mill they went to was still some distance away from the bridgehead of Linford Street. Mrs. Lin is getting old, so she should not go too far away from home. After dozens of minutes, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at Qingyang County Paper Mill from Changheng Street, which was three or four kilometers away. ¡­ Outside the gate of the paper mill, in the reception room, the security guard on duty learned that the two came to see the factory manager, so they stopped them outside the door without saying a word! How can the factory manager be so free? Can everyone see it? Even if the two of them don''t wear bad clothes, they seem to know that their family background is good, but that has nothing to do with them who look after the door! At this time, Lan Shu realized that she had overlooked one thing earlier. At the beginning, she was able to enter and leave the machinery factory because of her conspicuous figure, and the guards knew her and knew that she was a worker''s family member. Now, she has no acquaintances in the paper mill, so she can''t get in at all! Although she couldn''t get in, Lan Shu didn''t give up just yet. She intends to wait at the outer door. If the leaders of the factory travel, they should have a car, right? In that case, it is not too difficult to find someone. It was just after working hours, and there were not many outsiders in the paper mill. Two young men and women with good looks stood at the door. Occasionally, when someone came and went, they always had to take a look at them. Not far away, a woman in her thirties and forties, wearing a black dress and perming her hair, was walking towards the paper mill. Zhang Yunjing is the director of the Propaganda Department of the Women''s Federation of Linfu District, Qingyang County. She came to the paper mill today to do homework for the women comrades in the factory and to promote the progressive idea of ??equality between men and women. Seeing Lan Shu and Xiao Bai who were obviously waiting for someone in front of the door, Zhang Yunjing glanced at them subconsciously. But then, she was surprised to find out, "Oh, that little girl in the mall yesterday morning?" Lan Shu heard a woman''s voice and was surprised to see a woman walking towards them. She looked so different yesterday from her slovenly appearance today, yet the other party could recognize her? Waiting for Zhang Yunjing to stand still in front of Lan Shu, she said again, "It seems that I am not mistaken, you are surrounded by such a handsome young man, it is so easy to recognize!" At this time, Lan Shu knew the reason why she was recognized was that the other party recognized Xiao Bai first! "Are you going to the paper mill for something?" Zhang Yunjing asked. Yesterday, Zhang Yunjing had a good impression of the little girl when she was angry at the scumbag. So if the little girl has something, it doesn''t matter if she can help. Lan Shu didn''t expect the eldest sister she met casually to be so kind! She was overjoyed, and said with a natural smile on her face, "Sister, I have something to do, can you take us in?" "Yes, yes, but you have to tell me what''s wrong first, maybe I can help?" Zhang Yunjing felt that the little girl and the young people around her might be looking for work. Nowadays paper mills, machinery factories and other state-owned enterprises are not doing well, and their establishments are already full, but the women''s federations in their districts may still be able to recruit individuals. Yesterday, she saw that the little girl had a clear distinction between love and hate, she dared to speak and act, and she should have some knowledge in her conversation and demeanor, so she was very suitable to work for the Women''s Federation in their district! Lan Shu didn''t know Zhang Yunjing''s thoughts, but she wanted to enter the paper mill, maybe the elder sister in front of her could help her. So regarding the intention of coming, she confided in it after a little deliberation. "I learned before that there is a department in the paper mill that specializes in the production of toilet paper. This time I came to meet the factory manager. I have some ideas about the next development direction of toilet paper." "Oh?" Zhang Yunjing was really surprised to hear this explanation. The little girl didn''t come to look for a job, but to meet the factory manager directly? and¡­ The next development direction of toilet paper is interesting. "Can you tell me in more detail?" Zhang Yunjing was very interested in this. Seeing this, Lan Shu couldn''t help guessing, who would the eldest sister in front of her be? Ordinary people should not be interested in the development of toilet paper. Seeing that she pays more attention to appearance, is this eldest sister a leader of a paper factory? After all, those who can say without any hesitation that they can be brought into the paper mill will probably not be ordinary grassroots employees of the paper mill. With speculation, Lan Shu said a few more words. "The main audience of toilet paper is women, and their consumption of toilet paper is definitely much larger than that of men. So can toilet paper be upgraded for women''s special needs? This is the purpose of my visit." When she heard that the reason why the little girl came to the paper mill had something to do with women, Zhang Yunjing, the publicity director of the Women''s Federation District, was even more interested in her coming! "So how are you going to change the toilet paper?" she asked. Lan Shu didn''t continue talking. She smiled slightly, "More details... can we go in and talk about it first?" The purpose of her coming to the paper mill today is to go in and meet the factory manager, not to talk to an unidentified person at the gate of the factory. Zhang Yunjing understood what the little girl meant, she nodded, and walked a few steps to the guard room at the door to say hello. Then he turned around and waved to Lan Shu and the two of them, indicating that they could enter the door. Is it so easy to get in? Lan Shu was slightly taken aback, and now she looked at the eldest sister in front of her, and she felt even more that the other party should be a certain leader of the paper mill! Walking into the paper mill, there was no need for Lan Shu to find someone, and the eldest sister led her directly to the factory director''s office. While talking along the way, Lan Shu learned that the eldest sister was Zhang Yunjing, who worked in the District Women''s Federation. She would go down to various factories to carry out publicity work almost every month, so she was very familiar with paper mills. Ten minutes later, Zhang Yunjing, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at the factory director''s office together. At this moment, the factory manager is having a meeting in the conference room downstairs, and they need to wait for a while. Lan Shu was not in a hurry, and under the arrangement of the factory manager''s secretary, she sat with Zhang Yunjing on a row of chairs on one side of the office and waited patiently. When she was free, Zhang Yunjing inevitably had a problem again. She knew about how to upgrade the toilet paper, and the little girl would not talk about it until she saw the factory manager. So he brought up the quarrel between Lan Shu and her ex-husband in the mall yesterday. Regarding this matter, other girls may feel that the scandal of divorce should not be publicized, but Lan Shu has no scruples. About the engagement between her and Xu Yunjie three years ago, their family provided for Xu Yunjie to go to school, Xu Yunjie married her after graduation a year ago, and then told her all about her indifference and disgust. Zhang Yunjing didn''t expect that the little girl in front of her was young, but she had experienced many things. And what the little girl said about Xu Yunjie''s actions made her a worker who works in the Women''s Federation, advocates equality between men and women, and must not infringe on women''s rights. She can''t stand it! "Sister Lanshu, although your experience is unfortunate, but in my opinion, this incident is simply a typical example of warning women not to be blind to feelings, but to clearly understand feelings!" "Can I write an article about this anonymously and publish it in the newspaper so that more women will wake up after seeing it?" Zhang Yunjing asked. (end of this chapter) Chapter 27: sanitary napkin Chapter 27 Sanitary napkins Regarding this matter, Lan Shu felt that she and Xu Yunjie were not the one who was wrong anyway. Since publishing it in the newspaper can have a certain alarming effect on women in this era, then write it. At most, Xu Yunjie would feel unhappy when he saw it after it was published in the newspaper. And he was unhappy, and it had nothing to do with him. Zhang Yunjing was very happy to get Lan Shu''s consent, which brought her and Lan Shu''s relationship closer. She even asked Lan Shu to call her Sister Yun Jing. Lan Shu didn''t refuse either. The other party was willing to introduce the director of the paper mill for her, which made her very grateful. Xiaobai on the side heard what happened to Sister Lan, and learned that Sister Lan actually fell in love with such a bad guy! He sympathized with Sister Lan and was angry for Sister Lan. Fortunately, Sister Lan thought about it now, and resolutely left that person. At this moment, Xiao Bai felt more pity for Sister Lan. In the office, Lan Shu and Zhang Yunjing had just finished speaking when they saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with inch-long hair walking in the door. Director Zhu had just finished the meeting when he heard the secretary say that Director Zhang from the Propaganda Department of the District Women''s Federation had arrived and was waiting for him in the office. Their paper mill has always actively cooperated with the work of the Women''s Federation, and this time is no exception. When he walked into his office, besides Director Zhang, there were two other young people. "Director Zhang, these two..." "I haven''t seen Director Zhu for a long time. Sister Lan Shu is a friend of mine. I came here today to meet you, Director Zhu. She has some ideas that I think are very good, so I brought her here." "Oh?" Director Zhu was a little surprised. Can be specially recommended by Director Zhang of the Women''s Federation who never engages in foreign relations. What kind of abilities does that little girl named Lan Shu have? Director Zhu is very curious. Soon, what Lan Shu said to Zhang Yunjing outside the paper mill before finally had a follow-up. "Hello, Director Zhu, my name is Lan Shu. This time I am here mainly to put forward some ideas on the upgrading and improvement of toilet paper." Hearing what the little girl said, Director Zhu''s first reaction was to think that the little girl was lying! Madness! What could a little girl improve on toilet paper? If it wasn''t for the people brought by Director Zhang of the Women''s Federation, he wouldn''t listen to it at all. But then, Director Zhu heard the little girl say. "In China, women consume a relatively large proportion of toilet paper, and the most consumed time period is the few days of women''s menstrual period." ¡°Although the use of toilet paper is convenient, the experience is really not good, and there are certain hidden dangers in the manufacturing and sales of toilet paper, which is not conducive to women¡¯s health.¡± When Lan Shu said these words, her expression was serious and serious. Zhang Yunjing on the side was surprised that the little girl dared to speak so much! Facing the presence of two men, he talked about women''s private menstrual periods without blushing. Xiaobai was really shocked by Sister Lan''s words, and his face turned slightly red. Director Zhu, on the other hand, turned serious, no longer underestimated the little girl brought by Director Zhang himself, and listened to her continue with a serious look. "Women need sanitary products during their menstrual period, so this demand and consumption are continuous." "My idea is that in addition to toilet paper, can we also make a special sanitary care product, sanitary napkin, specially used for women''s menstrual period." When Lan Shu said this, Director Zhu''s expression suddenly became serious. "Little girl, please explain carefully." Director Zhu heard the word ''sanitary napkin'' from a foreign friend not long ago. After the reform and opening up, business winds have blown all over the country. Whether the future development of state-owned enterprises such as their paper mills can continue, and perhaps need to be transformed, is a big question. In order to increase the efficiency of the factory, Director Zhu has considered many transformation directions, among which is the transformation of toilet paper. The situation of sanitary napkins is not well understood in China, so whether to develop in this direction still needs to be studied slowly. But now, the question that they need to study in the future comes from a little girl. How can this make him not take it seriously? Director Zhu wants to hear the little girl''s thoughts, which may be of great help to the future development of their paper mill! "Sanitary napkins can help women get through their menstrual period better. First of all, they must be clean, and it is best to have independent packaging to isolate bacteria." "Then its structure can be divided into three parts, the water-repelling property of the bottom layer, the water-absorbing property of the middle filling, and the permeability and water-retaining property of the upper layer." "These are the most basic. In addition to this, practicality must also be considered. How to fix it without shifting is also a problem." At this time, Lan Shu''s words have already surpassed the understanding of Xiaobai, a big boy, about the details of women''s physiology. But the other two people in the office were pleasantly surprised! As a woman, Zhang Yunjing heard the concept of sanitary napkins, and immediately felt that this is simply the gospel of female compatriots across the country! If it succeeds, it will benefit women''s health! And Director Zhu found that he had learned all the information about sanitary napkins before, even far inferior to the little girl in front of him. The little girl has a more perfect concept of sanitary napkins! "Miss Lan Shu, what other ideas do you have about sanitary napkins, or do you have any information or ideas... Forget it, Miss Lan Shu, I would like to invite you to be an employee of the product research and development department of our paper mill, with a monthly salary of 65 A basic salary, research breakthroughs and bonuses, I wonder if you have this intention?" Hearing Director Zhu''s words, Zhang Yunjing was quite surprised. With the current benefits of the paper mill, Director Zhu will increase the number of staff positions. It seems that Lan Shu''s idea is really of great use to Director Zhu! The salary of sixty-five yuan is definitely high in the county, and even in the city, it is above the average level. Sister Lanshu should agree to such a good treatment. But what Zhang Yunjing didn''t expect was that Lan Shu shook her head. "My family still has a few orchards and chicken farms to take care of, so I can''t work in the factory." After learning about the situation at Lan Shu''s house, Director Zhu immediately dismissed the idea of ??letting the little girl work for his factory. This little girl is obviously from a good family, and she is not short of the salary paid by his factory. Immediately afterwards, Director Zhu heard Lan Shu say¡ª "I have some ideas about sanitary napkins, as well as some design drawings, as well as subsequent packaging, sales, etc., a series of complete plans. I wonder if Director Zhu is willing to cooperate with me?" What the little girl said moved Director Zhu''s heart. But cooperation is a matter of great importance, and he must carefully consider it. And there is another point that once they cooperate, their paper mills, at least the toilet paper factory, will not be able to follow the state-owned route. For the conversion of state-owned enterprises to private enterprises, Director Zhu has long had ideas, but there has been no breakthrough in transformation. And now, the little girl seems to have sent a breakthrough route! (end of this chapter) Chapter 28: cooperation reached Chapter 28 Cooperation reached Seeing Director Zhu bowing his head in thought, Lan Shu knew that her words would be useful to Director Zhu! But just based on what she said now, naturally, a factory manager cannot be swayed. Then she can throw some more things. "Director Zhu, do you have a pen and paper? I can draw a design drawing of a sanitary napkin for you first." "Yes, of course!" Director Zhu immediately took out a stack of red line manuscript paper from the table, and handed over the pen himself. Lan Shu didn''t have any ink marks, so she quickly drew a simple picture of the sanitary napkin stretched, and marked the filling and adhesive. Handing the drawn drawings to Director Zhu, Lan Shu said, "This kind of sanitary napkin is only for the general public. The advantage is that the price is low, and it is mainly used to spread the market." "Afterwards, there will be several higher-end sanitary napkins with better effects. The main target audience is families with good economic conditions, and the price will be relatively higher. It will become the main profitable product in the factory in the future." Director Zhu was already attracted by the pictures drawn by Lan Shu, but now he heard what Lan Shu said, Director Zhu was surprised to find that this little girl has gone from manufacturing to selling! It seems that the little girl can actually not cooperate with him at all. With her design plan and marketing plan, no matter which company of the same kind she finds, the other party will be willing to cooperate with her! If he refuses this kind of partner who comes to his door now, someone else will be able to stand up to him at any time! Thinking of this, Director Zhu finally made a decision¡ª "OK, let''s cooperate!" Regarding the details of the cooperation, those are no longer what Zhang Yunjing, a member of the Women''s Federation, should listen to. Xiaobai couldn''t understand the situation about sanitary napkins, so the two temporarily went outside the office. Before leaving, Zhang Yunjing did not forget to leave a phone number for Lan Shu, and told Lan Shu that she could go to the District Women''s Federation to find her anytime. And Zhang Yunjing herself had to carry out the propaganda work of the Women''s Federation in the factory today, so she went straight to work after going out. Xiaobai was guarding the door alone, occasionally looking through the glass on the window, watching Sister Lan''s serious expression. As for the director of the paper mill beside him, he was very excited when he heard it, and his face was flushed with excitement. At this moment, Sister Lan has a charm that Xiaobai has never seen before! Her self-confidence seemed to cover her whole body with a ray of light, so beautiful that he couldn''t take his eyes off¡ª Xiao Bai suddenly thought of the first time he saw Sister Lan a month ago. At that time, Sister Lan was so ordinary that no one noticed except for her fat body. And now, standing there, she is the focus! Lan Shu''s conversation with factory director Zhu lasted for more than an hour. When she walked out of the factory director''s office, she had already got an initialed contract. As for the formal signing of the contract, it will take a few days. In the past few days, Director Zhu will separate the toilet paper production workshop of the paper mill, changing from state-owned to privately owned. Buy the money for the toilet paper production workshop from the state, and the director Zhu will also raise funds from the old employees in the factory under Lan Shu''s proposal. In the future, the new toilet paper production workshop will become a toilet paper factory, and Lanshu will provide product design, technical concepts, and future marketing promotion plans, accounting for 30% of the shares. Lan Shu is already content to get this percentage of shares without investing any money. Although she knows that the future profits of sanitary napkins will definitely be considerable, but now that she does not have much money, she is powerless to invest. At noon, Lan Shu rejected Director Zhu''s proposal to treat guests to dinner, and returned to the neighborhood where they rented with Xiao Bai. The two of them still ate lunch outside, and one of them ordered a bowl of braised noodles. Looking at the large pieces of fat and thin pork in the bowl, almost half a bowl of soybean sprouts and beans, and the combination of meat and vegetable staple food, all the nutrients needed in a bowl are all there. After dinner, Lan Shu planned to go back to rest for a while and take a nap. And Xiaobai has nothing to do, ready to walk around. Since Xiaobai came to the county seat, seeing the shock brought about by Sister Lan''s daily changes made him feel a strong desire to quickly retrieve his lost memory. He felt that Sister Lan was getting better and better, and he was gradually unable to help her, and even changed from being a companion to a foil. He hoped that he could help Sister Lan instead of being taken care of by Sister Lan and attached to Sister Lan. He also wants to become mature and capable enough to be qualified to stand by Sister Lan''s side! Xiaobai is very anxious. The feeling of being unable to use all his abilities and being aggrieved makes his whole heart sink. He doesn''t know how to change the status quo. Probably Xiaobai''s expression was concealed too well, and Lan Shu didn''t notice Xiaobai''s psychological changes. said to Xiaobai, "Don''t go too far." Afterwards, Lan Shu went back to take a nap. On the street, Xiaobai walked aimlessly alone, and the loss in his heart became more and more intense... Who am I? from where? Until the evening, Xiao Bai didn''t have the slightest idea. The lost memory seemed to be tightly sealed, making him unable to find his true self at all. ¡­ The next morning, Lan Shu received wheat bran from Uncle Chen, the street food stall owner. These wheat bran were collected by Uncle Chen yesterday, not much, only a hundred catties. But Uncle Chen said that several colleagues he knew from selling grain before have wheat bran in stock, and they will send some more in the afternoon. In this way, plus the nearly two hundred catties of wheat bran received from the old lady Zhang in Laojie, when her elder brother comes to the county in the afternoon, the tractor can be filled with a truckload. The two casually ate some food on the side of the road at noon, and not long after they came back, they waited for the wheat bran that Uncle Chen received from his colleagues. This time it was almost two hundred catties. After Xiaobai helped Uncle Chen move all the wheat bran to the yard, Lan Shu went to wait for someone at the place she had agreed with her elder brother without stopping. Lan Dazhuang was very concerned about his little sister, so he drove his tractor to the county seat after lunch. So when Lan Shu arrived at the appointed place, Lan Dazhuang was already waiting. It is much more convenient to have a tractor. The two first went to Mrs. Zhang''s house to load nearly two hundred catties of wheat bran into the car, and then drove to the rented yard. It was also at this time that Lan Dazhuang learned that the younger sister actually rented a house in the county! "Little sister, how can you do it alone in the county?" Lan Dazhuang''s first reaction was to worry about the little girl. On Lan Shu''s side, she has already thought up her speech. "Brother, I found a job in a paper mill, and I will start work in a few days." Lan Dazhuang:? He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, "Little sister, you must have been cheated!" His little sister didn''t even graduate from junior high school, so how could she become an employee in a serious unit like a paper mill? Lan Dazhuang suddenly remembered the news his father read in the newspaper last month, saying that some human traffickers used their work as an excuse to coax young girls and then trafficked them. At that time, the father and son agreed that the younger sister was fat and felt safe. But now, the little girl has lost weight and looks beautiful~! Could it be that he was targeted by human traffickers? (end of this chapter) Chapter 29: Xiaobais identity Chapter 29 Xiaobai''s Identity Lan Shu didn''t know Lan Dazhuang''s thoughts, but after she learned from her elder brother that she graduated from primary school and dropped out of junior high school. Lan Shu: ¡­ In the past, she was a college student, but now she is a primary school student? Lan Shu made up her mind that after she settles down in the county, she must retake the degree exam. Since Lan Dazhuang doesn''t believe that she will stay in the county and go to work in the paper mill, then let him watch her go to the paper mill with his own eyes to prove the truth. Before evening, Lan Dazhuang drove a tractor back to the village with a cart full of wheat bran. Lanshu and Xiaobai didn''t leave, because the tractor pulled six or seven hundred catties of wheat bran, and several big sacks filled the rear, and the two of them really couldn''t sit down. Before leaving, Lan Dazhuang agreed that he would come to the county again tomorrow to give his little sister and Xiaobai some things to buy. The other thing is to watch the little girl go to the paper factory with my own eyes. In order to reassure the eldest brother, Lan Shu agreed without hesitation. During dinner at night, Lan Shu told Xiao Bai something. "I might go to night school in a few days, do you... want to go to school?" If Xiaobai wants to go to school, then they will go together. If Xiaobai is not willing, she will not force it. Hearing that Sister Lan was going to school, and asked herself if she would go, Xiaobai tightened her hands holding the chopsticks. He thought in his heart that he was willing, but when he thought about asking Sister Lan to help him go to school, Xiaobai felt incompetent. "Going to school can not only increase your knowledge, but also get a diploma, which will help you find a good job easily in the future." "Of course, a diploma is not everything. Some people don''t have a diploma, but relying on their business acumen, they can still make a lot of money and make themselves comfortable." "However, learning is not for others, but for oneself. To be educated and knowledgeable is to improve one''s quality. With the accumulation of knowledge, what you want to do in the future will not be intimidating. meeting." Lan Shu''s remarks are summed up based on her own experience and the situation of this era. She laid out the facts, and the choice depends on Xiaobai''s decision. And Xiaobai said in Sister Lan''s sentence, "Even if you don''t have a diploma, you can still make a lot of money by doing business." ¡¯ When I was stunned. He felt that this sentence...as if someone had said it to him before? who is it? Xiaobai frowned, and then heard Sister Lan say, "Learning is for yourself, knowledge can improve personal quality, and the accumulation of knowledge is for the future." '' These words, the person who once told him that studying is not important, but doing business has never told him! At this moment, several images suddenly appeared in his mind¡ª ¡®Brother, studying is useless at all, only doing business can make a lot of money. '' ¡®Brother, it¡¯s too hard in the army, you can¡¯t stay forever, can you? Big Brother teaches you how to do business. If you have money, you can get whatever you want! '' Xiao Bai came back to his senses in a trance, so...does he still have a big brother? In the past, he might think that what the elder brother said makes sense. But now, after hearing what Sister Lan said, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that his elder brother didn''t seem to be doing it for his own good? Is learning really useless? Not necessarily, although I don''t remember very clearly, but Xiaobai feels that his elder brother who is successful in his career is definitely not an illiterate who doesn''t know anything! At this moment, Xiaobai frowned. What kind of family did you live in? How many relatives around me are sincere to me? ¡­ At the same time, Kyoto. In the family compound of a certain Z area, the Gu family. The disappearance of Gu Jue, the youngest son of the Gu family, was only confirmed half a month ago. A month ago, Gu Jue took advantage of his vacation and left Kyoto to visit his grandma in Qingyang County. There was no news for more than ten days. When the Gu family sent someone to look for him, they found out that Gu Jue had already left. He bought a ticket back to Kyoto, but he didn''t get on the bus. As for where he went, no one knows! Since the news of Gu Jue''s disappearance came back, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang have never been worried about their son''s whereabouts. In addition to using their connections to find someone in Qingyang County, the couple also put aside all work and stayed in Qingyang County for a few days to find their son. But in the end, no clues were found¡ª Two days ago, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang just came back from Qingyang County. After arriving home, Wei Qiushuang fell ill immediately! The disappearance of her son caused Wei Qiushuang''s heart rate to fluctuate during this period of time. After she found that she couldn''t find anyone, her body couldn''t hold on, and she fell ill like a mountain! Knowing that Wei Qiushuang was ill, Gu Cheng, the upstart in the business district of Kyoto and the eldest son of the Gu family, immediately put aside all his business plans and returned to the compound to visit his stepmother. Gu Cheng was originally called Gu Cheng. He was not Wei Qiushuang''s biological son, but Gu Anguo''s original consort''s child. Gu Anguo''s ancestral home is in Qingyang County. He has a good appearance and an average family background. He studied well since he was a child. After graduating from university, he was assigned to work in a municipal unit in the county. Before he started working, his family arranged a marriage for him, and after Gu Anguo''s work was arranged, he got married immediately. His wife is a girl from a village near the county seat. After marriage, the relationship between the two was harmonious, and his wife soon became pregnant. Gu Anguo''s first wife died of a hemorrhage on the day of giving birth, so Gu Cheng has no mother since he was a child, only his father. A few years later, Gu Anguo had the opportunity to be transferred to Kyoto because of his outstanding work in the county. It was also at that time that he met Wei Qiushuang. Wei Qiushuang came from an excellent background. She grew up in a military compound. Her father was in the army and her mother was in politics. She was also beautiful and had many suitors. But Wei Qiushuang rejected all the suitors, but fell in love with Gu Anguo who came from a small county. The marriage between Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo was opposed by his parents. Because Gu Anguo was married and has an eight or nine-year-old son, their daughter can definitely find a better man! But none of this could hold back Wei Qiushuang''s decision, and in the end Wei Qiushuang finally married the person she liked as she wished, even if she just got married, she wanted to be a stepmother. Wei Qiushuang treats Gu Anguo''s son very well. It can be said that she has definitely fulfilled the responsibilities of a mother. Even after Wei Qiushuang gave birth to her own son in the second year of marriage, she never treated Gu Cheng harshly. Gu Cheng''s food and clothing expenses were no worse than his younger brother''s when he was a child. Even when he grew up and became an adult, when he said he wanted to go into business, Wei Qiushuang tried his best Possibly helped him. But when Wei Qiushuang hoped that her own son, Gu Jue, could stay in the military area with her grandfather, Gu Cheng still had a grudge in her heart¡ª It turns out that he and his younger brother are different after all! (end of this chapter) Chapter 30: she graduated from primary school Chapter 30 She graduated from primary school Brother Wei Qiushuang placed high hopes on him... The younger brother¡¯s future will also get everything he can¡¯t have with the help of his grandpa and grandma¡ª Gu Cheng is jealous. So when he made some small achievements in his career, he said to Gu Jue, who was less than fifteen years old, ''Study is not important, money is the most important thing. '' ''Brother teaches you how to do business, so that you can get everything you want in the future...'' He tried to change his younger brother by brainwashing, so that he would not follow the route Wei Qiushuang had planned for him. It''s a pity that Gu Cheng discovered that his younger brother Gu Jue has an amazing talent in learning! At a young age, Gu Jue has already learned the knowledge he only learned in college¡ª He knows that if this continues, Gu Jue''s future is boundless and bright! At that time, everyone around him will say that Gu Jue is worthy of being the biological son of Gu and Wei, even better than his brother! Gu Cheng doesn''t want to be weak, he doesn''t want to live under the light of his younger brother. In the Gu family, having an excellent son is enough! So at that time, Gu Cheng had feelings for Gu Jue that he shouldn''t have. That''s why Gu Jue went back to his hometown to visit his grandma and got his head smashed and thrown into the river... ¡­ Qingyang County, in a small noodle restaurant on Changheng Street. After listening to Sister Lan''s words, Xiaobai has already made a decision. He wants to study! He wants to learn as quickly as possible, and only by making himself useful can he repay the kindness of Sister Lan''s family to him. So Lan Shu took Xiao Bai to a school in Qingyang County to sign up early the next morning. Because Lan Shu cannot guarantee that she can go to school every day. She had other things to do on weekdays, so she chose to study at night school. The cost of the night school is not high, 50 yuan per person, books and tuition are included. Pay the money and get the textbooks. From now on, you only need to follow the weekly class schedule. There will be three hours of classes from Monday to Friday night. When she went back, Lan Shu didn''t forget to buy homework books for her and Xiao Bai in a stationery store near the school, as well as the newly released ballpoint pen in the past two years, which is the ballpoint pen of later generations. When everything was bought, Lan Shu couldn''t help sighing when she saw the pile of books and various school supplies. She just graduated from university and is about to start studying again... When the two returned to the rented place with their textbooks, Xiao Bai and Lan Shu greeted each other, and then they plunged into the room and read the books. The regular study period of evening school is two years, and he doesn''t have so much time to waste. He will take the exam as quickly as possible and get a diploma! Seeing Xiaobai''s love of studying so much, Lan Shu was very pleased. Originally, she planned to flip through the textbook for a while to see the difference between the questions of this era and what she learned. But when she entered the house, she just poured herself a glass of water when she heard the sound of a tractor outside. Brother is here! When Lan Dazhuang arrived, he brought not only two quilts, but also dried vegetables at home, bacon, flour, corn crumbs, a small amount of fresh vegetables, and a large bag of peanuts that just came off this year. When the old couple learned that their daughter was going to stay in the county, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were the same as Lan Dazhuang, their first reaction was to worry. But thinking that their daughter could find a job in the county, they were happy for their daughter. Although they can take care of their daughter even if they don''t have to work, they are getting older every year. When they get old, who else can take care of their daughter? Even if the sons are kind to the younger sister and are willing to support the younger sister, but the world is impermanent. In the future, the three sons will get married and have their own families. With their wives and children, who can guarantee that they will be able to support their younger sister for a lifetime in the future? So it is a good thing that my baby girl can stand up by herself. Even if the old couple is reluctant to part with their daughter, they must support the daughter to stand on her own! Now there is not much they can do for their daughter, and these things brought from home represent their heart and encouragement. Lan Shu watched her elder brother help her carry the quilt into the room, and spread it smoothly. Take peanuts, bacon, and vegetables into the room again. Lan Shu: ¡­ This is where she lives~! Thinking of the smell of bacon in her dreams when she was sleeping, Lan Shu couldn''t adapt. "Brother, put your things outside first, and bring them in after I have cleaned up the room." Speaking, Lan Shu immediately took what was in the hands of her elder brother, put it back in the sack, and put it against the wall at the door. Lan Dazhuang doesn''t care where the younger sister puts the things, as long as he delivers them, the younger sister can eat them in the future. Xiao Bai next door also came out of the room when he heard the voice. When he received the quilt from Brother Da Zhuang, the kindness of the Lan family made him feel indescribably complicated. In my memory, my brother''s ''sincere'' towards me is not as good as a person who picked me up. This made Xiaobai feel depressed, a little out of breath. Lan Dazhuang, besides delivering things to the little sister today, he also wanted to make sure that the little sister really went to work in the paper mill. Lan Shu promised to prove it to Lan Dazhuang yesterday. Taking advantage of the tractor to travel today, the two brothers and sisters immediately went out to the paper mill. Because Big Brother was with him, Xiaobai didn''t have to worry about what happened to Sister Lan when she went out, so he didn''t follow, but went back to his room to continue reading his book. Although there is a lot of content in the book, it would take a few days for other people to look at the thickness of a stack, but after Xiaobai read it, he found that he knows all these things! While he was studying, the relevant memories that had been sealed up seemed to be leaking out. Xiaobai felt that maybe he didn''t need to study hard for two years according to the night school class standards. He intends to take the exam after reading these books. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu came to the gate of the paper mill on a tractor. She came here yesterday, and the gatekeeper in the reception room at the entrance already remembered her, so it is not difficult to get in. Seeing that his younger sister was familiar with the people at the gate of the paper mill, Lan Dazhuang believed that the younger sister was really going to work in the paper mill? ! He must immediately tell his parents the good news when he goes back! correct! The second and third brothers don''t know that the younger sister is going to work, so they must know about it! So after the trip to the paper mill, the brother and sister went to the nearby Linford Street Supply and Marketing Cooperative to make phone calls. "Second brother, my younger sister has a job! I work in Qingyang County paper mill! I can go to the paper mill after elementary school, hahaha~" "Third brother, my younger sister found her job by herself. It''s amazing! My younger sister graduated from elementary school~! Do you dare to think about it?" I noticed the strange eyes that the employees in the supply and marketing cooperative gave her when they heard her elder brother''s words. Lan Shu on the side: ¡­ Listening to her elder brother''s words, Lan Shu couldn''t tell for a while whether her elder brother was praising her or mocking her? She, graduated from elementary school...o(¨i©n¨i)o I need a PK today, I need a ticket, a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket, and a tip. Another collection, a wave of praise, thank you! (end of this chapter) Chapter 31: kinship Chapter 31 Family Love Knowing that the younger sister has found a job in the county, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo are both happy for the younger sister. Lan Xiuming specifically asked the younger sister to go to work on time and work hard. Lan Sibo is more straightforward, saying that he will definitely give the little girl a big red envelope when he goes back in the new year! Feeling the concern and kindness from her brothers, Lan Shu said that she would not let them down. Hearing that the little girl has become so sensible, Lan Xiuming couldn''t believe it at first. Afterwards, he turned to mentioning the boy who had been picked up at home. I learned that the relationship between the boy and the younger sister is good now, and the two went to the county together. After a few seconds of silence on the phone, Lan Xiuming suddenly said¡ª "Little sister, that young man looks good and has a good figure. If you get along well, it''s actually fine to let him be our family''s step-in-law." Lan Shu:? She really didn''t expect that this is how the second brother sees her? Although Xiaobai is indeed good-looking, and his appearance is completely based on her aesthetic point, he used to be handsome and sunny, with a clean and refreshing youthful atmosphere. Now he is simple and obedient, he is simply a docile little milk dog, and she can''t help but feel sorry for him. But she''s not that beastly yet, to attack a little brother! So she listened to what the second brother said, and didn''t take it to heart. And the third brother Lan Sibo learned that a boy with amnesia had been picked up at home, and he was also good-looking! Lan Sibo immediately said, "As long as the little girl likes it, the family can spend money to support it!" Lan Shu: ¡­ One or two of her brothers think they should have plans for Xiaobai? Fortunately, Xiaobai didn''t come along today, otherwise it would be embarrassing to hear what the brothers said on the phone! After finishing the phone call, Lan Shu left in no hurry. Right now, she happens to be in a supply and marketing cooperative, and the family has brought her so much food. In addition, she will be living in the county town for a while, so she can''t go out to eat out every day. So taking advantage of her older brother''s tractor, which was more convenient, Lan Shu simply bought a set of pots and pans, and also bought a small coal stove. These are enough for her and Xiaobai to cook normally. After Lan Dazhuang sent his sister back with a bunch of things, at noon, the three of them ate together in the rented house. Simple noodles with bacon and vegetables, using the existing ingredients, under Lan Shu''s craftsmanship, the taste is not bad. Lan Shu ate a small bowl of the big pot of rice, and Xiao Bai and Lan Dazhuang shared the rest. Xiao Bai is now growing up and eats a lot, while Lan Dazhuang is born with a large appetite, there are two of them, and there is nothing left in the pot. Lan Dazhuang was not in a hurry to leave in the afternoon, but drove the tractor out again. When he came back, he found a black Phoenix bicycle on his tractor. Although the reform and opening up has been implemented and the trade is free, bicycles, which are in short supply, still need to be purchased by ticket. In order to buy this bicycle, Lan Dazhuang spent an extra 50 yuan. He bought the original 260 yuan bicycle for 310 yuan. Although the condition of the Lan family is good, more than three hundred yuan is not a small sum. But these were specially brought out by Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang after they learned that their daughter was going to work in the county. The purpose is to make her daughter''s life in the county better. Lan Shu never thought that her family would buy a bicycle for herself! Bicycles are a big thing in the village these days, not many in the county. At this moment, Lan Shu deeply felt the love of her parents. This is family affection! The thing she could not ask for in her previous life¡ª At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly felt that although she didn''t come to this world voluntarily, in this world, she was able to get this kind of family affection, and having these family members, it was worth it for her to come! After delivering the bicycles, Lan Dazhuang drove the tractor to go back. Before leaving, Lan Shu took the money that his brother and sister had raised for the construction of the orchard and free-range chicken farm in the back mountain of the village, and Lan Dazhuang took all the remaining 1,200 yuan back. In fact, it was more than 1,300 yuan originally, plus she was the first to sell second-hand clothes, and she still had dozens of yuan in change, and the total was more than 1,400 yuan. But these days she spent part of the county. Among them, nearly 700 catties of wheat bran were collected, for a total of 41 yuan. She and Xiaobai spent more than 70 yuan on clothes and shoes in the mall before, and the two spent 100 yuan on tuition. Sixteen yuan, and twenty-five yuan for a small coal stove. A total of two hundred and fifty-seven dollars was spent. After giving Lan Dazhuang one thousand and two, Lan Shu only had a dozen yuan left in her hands, but the money was enough for her and Xiao Bai to live in the county for a short time. Lan Dazhuang didn''t accept the money that Lan Shu gave out, but he couldn''t hold back his little sister. "The money is reserved for the development of our back mountain orchard and free-range chicken farms. It must be kept well. Later, we will use it to harvest wheat bran and buy fruit seedlings." They collected a lot of wheat bran this time, and the next collection will be a month away, and Lan Dazhuang will just have to bring it for as much as it costs. "As for me, I''m going to work in a paper mill, so I don''t have any money to spend?" Lan Dazhuang thought about it, the younger sister was right, so he took the money back. Anyway, the little girl won¡¯t be able to use much money for the time being, and he¡¯ll just send the money when she needs it. The tractor left with a ''chug chug...'', leaving only Lanshu and Xiaobai. The two stood at the gate and looked at each other. After seeing each other, they all smiled reassuringly. Their new life in the county town officially begins from this day¡ª ¡­ In the past few days, at the paper mill, the transformation of the toilet paper mill from a state-owned enterprise to a private enterprise is being promoted by Director Zhu. Lan Shu is not idle here either. In addition to attending night school at night and reading books during the day, she also spares time to perfect the drawings of the first generation of sanitary napkins. Nowadays, the general environment is trending and technology is limited. If the filling in sanitary napkins is mass-produced, it can only be pulp, and the rest has to be worked on the surface and bottom layer of sanitary napkins. As for how far it can be achieved, it depends on what kind of machinery and equipment the transformed paper mill can buy. After all, there are no sanitary napkins in China, and related machines need to be purchased from abroad, and then debugged or even improved before use in China. Different from Lan Shu who was distracted by her career, Xiao Bai was in the next room, almost to the point where she didn''t go out for nothing. In the past few days, Xiaobai has almost read the book in his hand. Every night when he goes to the night school, he finds out that he already knows what the teacher said! In order to test his learning results, he even tried to give himself a question and then solve it. The homework book and manuscript paper, which were brand new a few days ago, are now densely filled with words. Various mathematical formulas are covered, as well as interpretations of various articles. These are only the basis of the knowledge learned in the university, and there will be more detailed direction divisions later. (end of this chapter) Chapter 32: Early exam Chapter 32 Advance Exam The more Xiaobai learns, the more he can discover that his knowledge is shallow. I learned from the teachers teaching at the night school that after these students finish their studies and get their diplomas, if they want to be promoted, they should choose a major and continue their studies. There is no limit to learning, just wait for him to reach the peak! But he hesitated. How much time will it take to continue learning by yourself? Now he is eager for success, hoping that he can be qualified to stand beside Sister Lan as soon as possible. Xiaobai''s hesitant and preoccupied look was quickly noticed by Lan Shu. During lunch that day, Lan Shu specially fried an egg for Xiao Bai and put it in a bowl. The two sat face to face at a small table under the eaves outside the house, and Lan Shu spoke. "Is there anything on your mind recently?" Xiaobai was silent and did not answer. "Is it because the things taught in school are too difficult to understand?" Lan Shu asked again. Hearing that Sister Lan questioned her ability, Xiaobai got up and went back to her room. Lan Shu was startled, Xiao Bai is angry? Soon, she knew that she was wrong. I saw Xiaobai take a few homework books from the room and hand them to her. After turning a few pages, Lan Shu paused, feeling horrified! Xiaobai has already learned the knowledge in the textbook! So the reason why he is worried is not because he doesn¡¯t know how to learn, but because he doesn¡¯t know what to study next after finishing his studies? Lan Shu originally thought that she had gone to college anyway, and it would not be difficult to take the college entrance examination in another era. But she hasn''t finished reading the textbook yet, Xiaobai has already mastered the knowledge. Before Xiaobai lost his memory, he must have been a top student with excellent grades, right? ! Now that I know the reason for Xiaobai''s worry, it will be easier to deal with later. Lan Shu looked up at Xiaobai, and asked earnestly, "Is there any subject you like and want to study further?" When asked this question, Xiao Bai was startled¡ª Sister Lan, this is... Do you want him to continue learning? Although Sister Lan''s willingness to pay for his education made Xiaobai feel warm in his heart, but it didn''t make him decide to continue studying. He even thought that when he got a diploma and a degree, he would go to a paper mill to find a job. If you have a job, you can earn money, so you can help Sister Lan share the burden. "Don''t you want to continue studying?" Lan Shu''s voice suddenly interrupted Xiao Bai''s plan for her future. Then Xiaobai saw Sister Lan sighing with regret. "The future development of the country will require some professional and cutting-edge talents. It would be a pity if you don''t continue to learn such a good talent~" Development of the country...Top talents... Xiaobai was stunned because of Sister Lan''s words. In Sister Lan''s mind, can she be a cutting-edge talent who can contribute to the development of the country in the future? Xiaobai never knew that Sister Lan had such high hopes for herself! At this moment, he suddenly had the idea that he didn''t want to disappoint Sister Lan¡ª "Do you want me to continue studying?" Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and asked seriously. Lan Shu was slightly taken aback. Then she shook her head lightly, "It''s not whether I want you to continue studying, but whether you want to continue studying?" "Learning is a personal choice and your own preference. If you like it, you can have enough passion and motivation to go on this road through many obstacles." Lan Shu''s words silenced Xiao Bai. Likes, passions and drives? He had never thought about it before. In other words, he never had a chance to think about these before. Although he doesn''t have much memory recovered now, he still vaguely remembers that apart from his elder brother''s wish for him to start a business, it seems that his parents also have other expectations for him. And what he wants, no one cares, and no one tries to know what he thinks. But now, Sister Lan asked him, what would he choose? The direction he likes, of course there are subjects that can make him passionate and motivated. But apart from that, Sister Lan''s expectations are equally important to him. ¡°I want to go into pharmacology.¡± He did not forget what Sister Lan said just now, the future of the country needs professional and cutting-edge talents. If he is allowed to choose, his subconscious instinctive choice is the subject of medicine. Hearing the determination in Xiaobai''s tone, Lan Shu nodded. She didn''t ask Xiaobai any reason why he chose this subject, but just whispered a word. "good." No matter what direction Xiaobai is interested in, she will let him learn it. For her, although Xiaobai just met by chance at first, he was a half stranger picked up by her family. But now, they have been together for a long time, and they naturally have feelings. Xiaobai has no memories of the past, so Lan Shu will think of herself back then, suddenly coming to this era, helpless... Lan Shu feels that she already regards Xiao Bai as a family member who is more than a friend. ¡­ At night, as usual, Xiaobai rode a bicycle and brought Lanshu to the night school. It was almost seven o''clock, and the street lights on both sides of the path in the school were already on. Xiaobai parked the car downstairs and locked it, and the two went upstairs together, and went directly to the collective office of the teachers. It is now the end of October, and every year at the beginning of December, there will be a unified graduation exam. In addition to Xiaobai who needs to take the exam in advance, Lan Shu also plans to get a diploma before the end of this year. Two students who had signed up for less than a week suddenly ran to say that they would graduate this year. In the office, apart from Teacher Song from the class they were in, teachers from several other classes also looked sideways. "Study is not easy! Who didn''t graduate after two years of hard work? You have only studied for a few days, and you are about to take the exam? You are taking it for granted!" Teacher Song was very angry. He had never seen such an arrogant student. And there is not one such student, but two together! Ms. Song was very impressed with these two students. In the past few days, although the two of them came to class on time every night, they were extremely inattentive during the class! While he was talking about a question, the two of them had already flipped through the textbook quickly. For such students who do not have a good learning attitude, Teacher Song is worried whether they will be able to graduate smoothly in two years. And now, they actually plan to take the exam this year and graduate early! ? Lan Shu knew that no one would believe that someone could finish a two-year course in just a few days if this kind of thing was left on their shoulders. Although she can''t do it for a few days, there is still one month before the graduation exam. One month, with her basic situation, is enough for her to learn the contents of the textbook. So facing Teacher Song''s criticism, Lan Shu had to explain. But Xiao Bai at the side spoke ahead of time¡ª "Teacher Song, studying is not difficult, a few days is enough." Lan Shu:? Teacher Song:? ? ? (end of this chapter) Chapter 33: no money Chapter 33 No Money Lan Shu was startled by Xiao Bai''s words and suddenly looked at him. Is it not difficult to learn? How many days are enough? Is this what people say? ! Mr. Song on the opposite side blew his beard and stared angrily! Lan Shu clearly saw that the veins on Teacher Song''s neck were about to burst! "You despise the classroom and the school too much!" "Study is not difficult? Can you memorize all the knowledge in the textbook!" Teacher Song opened his mouth and scolded! The one who answered Teacher Song was Xiaobai who nodded calmly and answered seriously, "Of course." and Lan Shu hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently, and said, "I almost remember it." Teacher Song: ¡­ In the end, it is not impossible for Lan Shu and Xiao Bai to take the exam ahead of time. Ms. Song decided to take time to give the two of them a mock exam, and give them a good ''lesson''! Let them recognize their abilities and know that they are a little bit taller than the earth! The time for the mock exam is scheduled for Friday night two days later. Teacher Song promised that if the two of them could pass the exam, they would be allowed to take this year''s graduation exam. For the mock exam two days later, Lan Shu increased the time for reading and studying for herself every day. On the contrary, Xiaobai was as usual, not at all worried that he would fail the exam. Lan Shu: ¡­ Although she didn''t know how Xiaobai''s academic performance was before he lost his memory. But with Xiaobai''s attitude of not being surprised as he is approaching the exam, he is undoubtedly a top student! There is still one day left before the mock exam. That night, instead of going to night school, Lan Shu went to a paper mill. At the paper mill, after a week of publicity and mobilization, Director Zhu finally gained something. He raised a total of more than 18,000 yuan from the workers in the factory, and he contributed 5,000 yuan himself, making a total of 23,000 yuan. Apply to buy the toilet paper production workshop of the paper mill, because the factory is still in the profitable stage. Although the benefits are not high, it can barely maintain it. In addition, there are two sets of toilet paper machines in the factory, so these are all expensive to buy. After a set of procedures, the toilet paper production workshop finally became privately owned, and the money they raised was less than 10,000 yuan. To be precise, it is nine thousand eight hundred and sixty yuan! With this little money, they need to buy machines for making sanitary napkins from abroad, as well as raw materials for making sanitary napkins. Regardless of whether the money is enough or not, now Director Zhu and all the old workers of the paper mill who participated in the fundraising are putting all their eggs in one basket! The old workers believed in the judgment of Director Zhu, and Director Zhu believed in Lan Shu''s idea of ??change. This made Lan Shu suddenly feel a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. Fortunately, Director Zhu has undertaken a lot for her in the front and has no complaints. Director Zhu has only one idea, that is to lead those employees who believe in him to live a better life in the future! Also for his descendants, to have a better life. The 5,000 yuan this time is the capital that Director Zhu has worked for for decades! After learning about this, Lan Shu suddenly felt that she had found the right partner. With director Zhu who is dedicated to the factory and has a responsible leader, in the future, the sanitary napkin project of their toilet paper factory will not worry about not being able to develop! ¡­ Friday, 7:00 pm, evening class. The rest of the class was in class, and at the same time, in a classroom next door, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were taking the mock exam specially arranged by Teacher Song for them. Because Teacher Song still had class to attend, he invited a teacher Li who had no class today to be the invigilator for this mock exam. The test paper is adjusted according to the questions of last year''s test. There are two subjects in arts and sciences. According to the requirements, the test time is three hours. The two of them got the paper, Lan Shu roughly scanned the whole paper, and then began to answer the questions. Xiaobai writes as soon as he picks up the pen, writing smoothly without any pause. As if he already knew the answer to the contents of the test paper. Ms. Li, who was in charge of the exam, originally only had to sit on the podium and watch. But because the two students who had only been here for a few days, they looked very confident when they wrote the papers, so Teacher Li couldn''t help but stepped down from the podium to look at the answers written by the two of them. Seeing this, Teacher Li was a little taken aback. Before the paper was handed out, Teacher Song had already made the answers on the paper, and the correct answer was now placed on the podium table. Although Mr. Li didn''t memorize all the answers, he probably still had an impression. At this time, he felt that the answer and what the two wrote... should be the same? In order to confirm his own thoughts, Teacher Li immediately went back to the podium to write down part of the answers, and then read the papers written by the two of them. Then Teacher Li was stunned in place! At this moment, Teacher Li really wanted to go to the next class and tell Teacher Song that these two students who only came to night school for a few days are really capable of taking this year''s graduation exam! In the classroom, Xiao Bai only used less than half of the original three-hour exam, and Lan Shu finished the paper in two hours. After the two of them handed in the papers ahead of schedule, Teacher Song next door was still in class. So Lan Shu and Xiao Bai greeted Teacher Li, who was in charge of the exam, and said that the two of them would go back first. As for test scores, it''s not too late to ask them next time they''re in class. Such a calm attitude is not that they don''t pay attention to this mock exam. It''s that they have enough confidence in their test results! ¡­ The next day, Saturday. The paper mill has begun to divide into branch factories. Although Director Zhu has not resigned from the position of director of the paper mill, he is already looking for a new director. When the toilet paper factory develops, it is impossible for him to be the director of the two factories. Director Zhu is very confident in the toilet paper factory, and he plans to concentrate on the development of the toilet paper factory in the future. In the morning, Xiaobai got on his bicycle and drove Lanshu to the gate of the paper mill. Because he is not an employee of a paper mill, and Lan Shu doesn''t need him to be by his side all the time, so it''s good for Xiaobai to read more books when he has that time. So Xiaobai went back after delivering the person. At noon, he will pick up people again. In the paper mill, a wall is built between the original toilet paper production workshop and other paper workshops on the other side to separate the two sides. The machines in the toilet paper workshop are running continuously. People who work here are used to the stuffy heat and loud noise in the workshop. The workshop is very large, and the raw materials for making toilet paper are piled up everywhere. When the space is vacated, other machines can also be placed there. The most important thing now is whether the machines for producing sanitary napkins are available. Today, when Lan Shu came, she got good news from Director Zhu. Factory Director Zhu found a machine for producing sanitary napkins through foreign friends. But at the same time, there is another bad news. It costs at least 16,000 to buy a set of machines. They simply don''t have enough money these days. Where to get money has become a matter of concern for Director Zhu. (end of this chapter) Chapter 34: closed minded Chapter 34 Closed-minded When Director Zhu encountered something he couldn''t solve, he unexpectedly discovered that he thought of Lan Shu in the first place! Although the little girl is not very old, she can always make Director Zhu feel strong convincing power, and thinks that she is reliable, and nothing seems to hinder her. So, maybe there is no way to solve the problem, what good idea does the little girl have? So Lan Shu heard the difficulties that Director Zhu had complained about. The future of the toilet paper factory is not only owned by Director Zhu, but also has a lot to do with Lan Shu. She took 30% of the shares! Lan Shu naturally wants to solve the problems facing the toilet paper factory, but she has the heart and no money! Six thousand yuan is not a small amount. Director Zhu¡¯s family can afford five thousand yuan, but her family cannot afford that much. Although Lan Shu doesn''t know her parents'' savings, she will never put her brains into using her parents'' pension money if she wants to start a business. Brother has more than a thousand points in his hand, but the money is to be used for the construction of orchards and chicken farms in the back mountain, so he can''t move it. After coming to this world, Lan Shu realized for the first time how difficult it is to have no money! How to get 6,000 yuan, or even more, has become a matter of concern for Lanshu. Because even if the machine is bought back, raw materials are needed for production, and further investment will be required later. After serious thinking, Lan Shu thought of two solutions. One is to continue to raise funds, and the other is to borrow money. Nowadays, the country pays more attention to commercial development, the policy is helpful, and the interest rate of the loan is not high. As for raising funds, it is to continue to let the workers in the factory raise money. As soon as Lan Shu put forward these two ideas, they were rejected by Director Zhu together! The old workers who raised funds before, those who can get money from their families, have already given it out. It is almost impossible and impossible for them to raise additional funds. And the behavior of owed money such as loans will make veteran workers feel unreliable. Most people in this generation have limited thinking. In their view, taking a loan is a terrible and serious thing! The behavior of owing money will make them restless during the day and sleepless at night. So if a loan is required, some old workers may go back on their word and demand that the money raised be returned. "What if our fundraising is to raise funds from outside the newspaper?" After Lan Shu heard Director Zhu''s concerns, she bowed her head in thought for a moment, and then expressed her thoughts. "It shouldn''t be difficult for us to find investment for this sanitary napkin project?" she asked. Director Zhu is very confident about the future of sanitary napkins, but it is not easy to talk about sanitary napkins on the bright side. If the private things used by women are disclosed openly, it may cause a bad reputation in the factory. Maybe outsiders will think that their toilet paper factory is blatantly playing hooligans! At that time, the word-of-mouth will be gone, and the products produced will not be easy to sell. After learning about Director Zhu''s concerns, Lan Shu had no choice but to react. People in this era are closed-minded about many things, which makes them limited in what they do. She suddenly thought of one thing. When she was in college, she came across an entertainment news by chance, saying that she was a middle-aged female star with good looks and acting skills. His acting skills are out of the circle and he is known by everyone. The reason why the female star has been refrigerated for more than 20 years is because when she was young, she shot an advertisement for a pair of long johns. For people in that era, a woman wearing a set of long johns on TV, even though the long johns were looser at the time and could not reflect her figure curve, was still outrageous. A woman wearing a set of autumn clothes and long johns for an advertisement can have such a big impact on her life. So Director Zhu''s current concerns are indeed issues that Lan Shu should consider. They can raise funds externally, but they cannot raise funds with great fanfare. They must be low-key, even secretive. When Lan Shu was thinking about how to keep a low profile and raise money, suddenly, a person walked in from the door of Director Zhu''s office¡ª A few days ago, Zhang Yunjing wrote an article based on what Lan Shu''s sister personally told her about the marital status and the final divorce between her and Xu Yunjie. Her original intention is to encourage women to awaken the idea of ??independence and self-reliance, and not to endure for a lifetime even if the marriage is not smooth because of the secular vision. Women can¡¯t always be on the weak side, they must learn to protect themselves, safeguard their own rights, and keep their eyes open to recognize the other half around them. After Zhang Yunjing wrote and submitted this story-based article, it immediately attracted the attention of the Qingyang County Women''s Federation''s superior unit, the Linjiang City Women''s Federation. Zhang Yunjing''s writing style is needless to say, the article also looks very representative. So the Municipal Women''s Federation published the article in the newspaper of Linjiang City, and it took up a full quarter of the page! The current city newspaper has only two pages at a time, with a total of eight pages, and is published twice a week. All recent events are gathered in the newspaper. In this era of underdeveloped information, the status of newspapers is very high, with a large circulation and spread all over the city and county. The matter about Lan Shu and Xu Yunjie was published anonymously in the newspaper, and quickly became known to the people of the city, sparking heated discussions! In the article, Xu Yunjie''s identity was cast aside by countless women, and even many men who read the newspaper felt that ''Ajie'' was embarrassing their men! The manuscript written by Zhang Yunjing is very popular. In addition to the fact that the manuscript fee is twice as high as before, the name of the author of the article ''Zhang Yunjing'' is also known to many people. Yesterday, the leaders of their county and district women''s federation even came to talk to her specifically. They were praising her work both openly and secretly, and her outstanding performance is likely to be transferred to the municipal women''s federation next year. Such a good thing happened to Zhang Yunjing, Zhang Yunjing suddenly felt that Lan Shu''s sister was her lucky star! She must thank Sister Lan Shu properly! In addition to giving the manuscript fee for this article to Sister Lanshu, Zhang Yunjing also wants to invite Sister Lanshu to dinner! But at that time, she only left Lan Shu''s address, but she didn''t have Lan Shu''s contact information. So Zhang Yunjing planned to come to the paper mill to ask Director Zhu if there was any information about Sister Lanshu. As soon as the result came, she ran into two people who were talking about raising funds for the toilet paper factory. When Zhang Yunjing just walked in, although she didn''t hear much news, she also heard that the toilet paper factory needed to raise funds from outside. She is very interested in the sanitary napkins that Lan Shu said! Before, when Director Zhu raised funds internally, she was unable to participate in the fundraising because she was not an employee of the factory. Now that she has a chance, she certainly won''t miss it! (end of this chapter) Chapter 35: newspaper Chapter 35 Newspaper "How much money do you need? I can participate in fundraising." As Zhang Yunjing said, she had already planned how much savings she should take out to raise funds. Zhang Yunjing has a good family background, and she has a lot of dowry when she gets married, and she also manages the salary of the man in the family after marriage. She has had no children for so many years because of her health, and the family expenses are not big, so after more than ten years of marriage, she has saved a lot of money in her hands. When Lan Shu heard that Zhang Yunjing was willing to participate in fundraising, it was of course a good thing! Director Zhu''s eyes lit up too! He had dealt with Director Zhang of the County Women''s Federation, and knew that Director Zhang was in good condition, so he tried to report the number, "We are short of 6,000 for the time being, and we may need some later..." "Six thousand? That''s a lot~" Zhang Yunjing frowned slightly, thinking a little. Hearing her response, Director Zhu couldn''t help but sigh. He feels that 6,000 is really not something that an individual can take out. He has been a factory manager for decades, and he only took out 5,000. Lan Shu on the side didn''t have much hope for this, but in the next second, she heard Zhang Yunjing say, "Then I''ll take six thousand first, and if I need money later, I should get another four thousand." Get out." Ten thousand yuan is almost all of her savings. An ordinary person, she really wouldn''t take so much money out, but this matter is different. Firstly, she is optimistic about the sanitary napkin project mentioned by Sister Lanshu, and secondly, she believes in Director Zhu''s ability to handle affairs. The most important thing is that she thinks that Lan Shu can continue to bring her good luck! Now it seems that investing 10,000 yuan is such a large amount of money, but once the sales of sanitary napkins are good in the future, then she has the shares of the investment, and I am afraid that she will not worry about running out of money in her life. So investment is risky, but she dares! Hearing Zhang Yunjing''s decision, Director Zhu''s originally worried mood instantly calmed down. However, he still cautiously reminded, "Director Zhang, are you really going to invest so much money in our toilet paper factory?" It was Zhang Yunjing who answered Director Zhu with a slight smile. "Of course, I will send you the money in the afternoon. If Director Zhu talks about it later, remember to say ''our'' toilet paper factory~" Zhang Yunjing feels that an investment of 10,000 yuan will definitely allow her to get a considerable share, right? At that time, she will be regarded as a small shareholder in the factory and will have the right to speak. Factory Manager Zhu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then laughed. "Yes, from now on it will be our toilet paper factory!" With what Director Zhang said just now, the fund-raising of 10,000 yuan in their factory will be stable! As for the fact that Director Zhang will have more shares in the factory than him in the future after the fundraising, Director Zhu doesn''t care. Now the most important thing is to make the new factory go smoothly! For Zhang Yunjing, besides investing, she came today mainly to send money to Sister Lan Shu. The manuscript fee for a manuscript, even if it is doubled, is not much, a total of six yuan and eighty cents. Lan Shu didn''t expect that Zhang Yunjing would give her the payment for the publication of the article. In fact, the manuscript is popular, and most of it is written by Zhang Yunjing herself. Even if she has something to do with her, the relationship is not that big. She cannot accept this money. But what Zhang Yunjing gave today was not money, but a piece of her heart. "Sister Lanshu, you can take it. If you didn''t agree with me to write about your affairs, I wouldn''t be able to have the reputation I have now and be praised by the unit." "Believe me, I got far more than you thought. If you don''t accept this money, I will feel very sorry." After hearing what Zhang Yunjing said, Lan Shu really had no choice but to refuse. But thinking about Zhang Yunjing¡¯s investment of 10,000 yuan, there is indeed no shortage of these few yuan. So Lan Shu hesitated for a while before accepting the money. Although she and Zhang Yunjing met for the second time, and they were more than ten years behind in age, their relationship is getting better and better. Different from the cooperative relationship between her and Director Zhu, Zhang Yunjing was the first friend Lan Shu made in the county. ¡­ At the same time, in the machinery factory next door not far from the paper mill. Xu Yunjie finished his work in the morning, took a short break, went to the staff lounge outside the workshop to drink some water, and read the newspaper when he had nothing to do. Looking at it, he quickly discovered the article in the newspaper titled "Marriage is Exploitation, Moral Loss!" ". is followed by a line of bold subtitles. ¡ªCollege students need to strengthen character and moral education. As for the content of the article, although the name is not directly named, a pseudonym is used instead. But for Ajie and Xiaomei, the word ''jie'' makes Xu Yunjie feel particularly dazzling! The article clearly tells that the girl Xiaomei was cheated into marriage by the poor boy Ajie, Xiaomei''s family provided for Ajie to go to college, but Ajie despised Xiaomei when he became capable, and he still raised a mistress outside, etc. The villainy is simply heinous! At the end of the article, Xiaomei and Ajie divorced and started a better life. Seeing this, Xu Yunjie''s face turned blue, his fingers holding the newspaper turned white, and his whole body trembled with anger. The things described in this article are basically between him and Lan Shu! Xu Yunjie never thought that Lan Shu would do things so brilliantly! She actually slandered her own reputation in the newspaper, embarrassing herself! The sentence under the title of the article ¡®College students need to strengthen character and moral education. ¡¯ The subtitle made Xu Yunjie¡¯s heart sting even more! Those words were in the newspapers of the whole city, clearly saying that he, a college student, has a bad character and no morals! Xu Yunjie felt resentment in his heart. At this moment, he wished he could rush to Lan Shu, tear her hair, grab her neck, and let her know the consequences of doing so! But before he could get out of this extreme shame, after work at noon, Xu Yunjie had just left the workshop and was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, when he ran into a big brother in the duty room at the factory gate hurriedly, saying that someone was looking for her outside the factory gate . Xu Yunjie was startled, who is looking for him? He doesn''t have many acquaintances in the county, and if he has any, they are all colleagues who work in the same factory. The relatives in the family are all in the countryside. The second sister came here only once last month, so she shouldn''t come too often, so who will look for him? Feeling puzzled, Xu Yunjie walked outside the door of the machinery factory. When he walked out of the factory gate, what he saw was his girlfriend Li Xiumei who should be working in the city now! It takes one day for the newspaper in Linjiang City to reach the county, but Li Xiumei saw the article in the newspaper yesterday. A week ago, Li Xiumei and Xu Yunjie met Lan Shu in the county shopping mall. When they learned that Xu Yunjie was married and divorced, Li Xiumei felt that she had been deceived! She had already made up her mind that she would break off her relationship with Xu Yunjie and never contact her again! But not long after she left the shopping mall that day, Xu Yunjie caught up with her. Come again and ask for tickets, recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, favorites, praise, all are needed! It would be even better if there is a reward~ In addition, this book is the same as the previous one. At the end of the book, the top three cuties will be counted, and each will be given a set of pearl jewelry. PS: It¡¯s all made by myself by opening clam holes and DIY. There are many styles to choose from, with a little thought, I hope girls will like it~ Remember to vote, I love you~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 36: forgive Chapter 36 Forgiveness Xu Yunjie apologized to her, and then said all the good things. He said that the matter of his marrying someone else was completely up to the family, and he had no choice. If he hadn''t agreed to the engagement at the beginning, the older sisters in the family would probably starve to death because of lack of food. He sacrificed his marriage just to save the lives of his sisters, which is really helpless. Li Xiumei was moved by Xu Yunjie''s words. She was born in the city and didn''t know the poverty in the countryside. Knowing Xu Yunjie''s poor family, she began to sympathize with Xu Yunjie. Seeing Xu Yunjie''s true feelings for her, she must be her own, so Li Xiumei was moved and forgave Xu Yunjie. Although Xu Yunjie was divorced, as long as he treats her well in the future, Li Xiumei will persuade her family to allow her to be with Xu Yunjie. But Li Xiumei didn''t expect that in just a few days, she saw the matter between Xu Yunjie and that rural woman in the newspaper! In the newspaper, the image of Xu Yunjie is completely despicable, shameless and ungrateful villain! And once it is published in the newspaper, what a shame it is~! Her family will never allow herself to marry such a person! So Li Xiumei got angry for a while, asked for leave the next day, and impulsively came to the county by car, just to ask Xu Yunjie for clarification! If Xu Yunjie can''t give her a satisfactory answer, she, she will definitely break up with Xu Yunjie! "Xiumei, you, why are you here?" Although Xu Yunjie didn''t know the reason, he had a vague feeling in his heart that Xiumei''s coming to the county to look for him might have something to do with the article in the newspaper? If yes, then bad! Soon, the doubts in his heart were answered. Li Xiumei glared at him angrily, then lowered her head and took out a folded newspaper from her bag. "Xu Yunjie, tell me what''s going on!" Li Xiumei angrily threw the newspaper on Xu Yunjie! "Say it! Are you just like what the newspaper says, that you marrying your rural woman is simply using her to pay for your college education?!" Hearing Li Xiumei''s words, Xu Yunjie''s face froze. Then he quickly managed his expression. "Xiumei, we''ve been together for so long, don''t you understand me? I haven''t been with that woman for long, and I didn''t expect her to be so vicious. Destroy me!" "Xiumei, you believe me, I like you! From the first time I saw you in college, I liked you!" "If I had a choice, I wouldn''t have anything to do with that woman at all!" "The newspapers are all scribbled, don''t believe it!" Xu Yunjie defended himself sentence after sentence. Such a strong desire to express is rarely achieved in this day and age. Under the "bombing" of his affectionate confession, Li Xiumei''s accumulated anger on the way here was calmed down¡ª "Are you really not the kind of person written in the newspaper?" Li Xiumei was still a little unsure. "Xiumei, believe me, those in the newspaper are all scribbles! Don''t worry, I will definitely find the person who wrote the article in the newspaper, and one day I will prove my innocence!" Xu Yunjie said swearingly. As for finding the author of the article named Zhang Yunjing... The other party was able to publish an article in the city newspaper, presumably it was not an ordinary person, and it was not something that he could see at all. So as long as Xiumei believes in herself, this matter is over, and it will be over. Whether you can find someone to prove your innocence, it will not be so important at that time. Li Xiumei still has doubts about what Xu Yunjie said, but she still chooses to believe it. Personally, she still likes Xu Yunjie. And if she is not with Xu Yunjie, the family will definitely arrange another blind date for her. If the blind date is good, she can accept it. It''s a pity that she broke off contact with Xu Yunjie after graduation a year ago. The first blind date her family introduced to her was a divorced old man with a baby in her father''s work unit who was more than ten years older than her! After she declined the other party, her father even said that she was ignorant! Li Xiumei also has an older brother. She knows that her parents are patriarchal. It is best for her to marry someone who can help her brother and pave the way for him in the future. Instead of letting the family arrange her marriage, it is better for her to find it herself. That''s why Li Xiumei got in touch with Xu Yunjie again after seeing clearly what her family was thinking. At that time, she didn''t know that Xu Yunjie was married... Here, Xu Yunjie was secretly relieved to find that Li Xiumei believed his words. Xu Yunjie hated Lan Shu for ruining his reputation and causing him all these troubles. Now that Xiumei is here, he has someone to confide in. Xu Yunjie sighed, and with an aggrieved face, he talked about Lan Shu''s tormenting him in the past. "At that time, her elder brother came to the door suddenly and forced her to live in my staff dormitory. I have to endure her making a mess of my dormitory every day!" "She doesn''t do anything every day, but she just asks me to cook for her, so she is still not satisfied, and uses my name to borrow money from the neighbors in the dormitory..." These are all facts that happened, even if there are some deviations in the details, but Xu Yunjie deliberately concealed it and put himself in a weak position, making Li Xiumei more sympathetic to what happened to him. When a woman''s heart softens, she is easy to forgive. Xu Yunjie obviously felt that all the problems between him and Li Xiumei had been resolved. "Xiumei, I worked for a year and saved some money, but in order to divorce that woman, in order to get rid of her, I gave her all the money, just begging her to let me go." "Although I don''t have a lot of money now, don''t worry, after I get paid in the future, I will definitely not spend it indiscriminately. I will save it and give it to you when we get married!" Xu Yunjie originally wanted to complain, but while talking, he suddenly changed his mind. He and Xiumei must spend money when they fall in love, but he has to keep the money to pay off the debt. So now it''s better to confess a part to Xiumei, let her be considerate of herself, don''t spend too much money, so that she can have enough money to pay off her debts. As for the money you owe, you must never say it! In case Xiumei feels that she owes money and dislikes herself, and doesn''t get along with herself, then the loss outweighs the gain... When Li Xiumei learned that the rural woman who had spread rumors about her boyfriend in the newspaper had actually blackmailed Xu Yunjie''s money before the divorce, she felt distressed and irritated towards Xu Yunjie. Now, the saying that Xu Yunjie''s character is bad and morally corrupt has been completely dispelled. Li Xiumei felt that if her boyfriend was really as miserable as the newspapers said, why would he spend all his money just for divorce? Their divorce, that rural woman took advantage of it! Maybe the money that woman bought shoes at the county mall last week was money from her boyfriend! At this moment, Li Xiumei also hated Lan Shu¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 37: lie Chapter 37 Lying At noon, Xiaobai rode a bicycle to the gate of the paper mill, waiting for Lanshu to ''get off work''. He is wearing a black and white sports suit, with inch-long hair obediently hanging down to cover his forehead. He is tall and tall, with slender limbs. He holds the handlebar of the bicycle with one hand. Just standing there quietly can attract the attention of all passers-by around him. Such a clean, fresh, sunny and handsome boy seems to be a bit out of place in the small county town. Some local workers who came out of papermaking after get off work at noon saw him, and even sighed, which girl will have the good luck to marry such a handsome man in the future? At this moment, not far away, Lan Shu and Zhang Yunjing walked out of the paper mill together. Seeing the person coming, Xiaobai''s originally calm and even cold face suddenly showed a faint smile! He immediately pushed the bicycle and walked towards Lan Shu, parked the bike in front of Lan Shu, and said softly, "Get off work? Let''s go~" Xiao Bai came to pick up someone, so he only had Lan Shu in his eyes, and even ignored that there was another person beside Lan Shu. This is the third time Zhang Yunjing has seen the boy next to Sister Lanshu. Once in a shopping mall in the county seat, the boy stood next to Lan Shu, subconsciously protecting Lan Shu behind him. The second time was when the teenager and Sister Lan Shu came to the paper mill together and wanted to see the factory director Zhu, so she brought the two of them into the factory director''s office. And today, the boy came to pick up Sister Lanshu from get off work. Meeting three times, the impression the young man gave her each time cannot be ignored! His handsome face, as well as the extraordinary temperament faintly revealing from his body, are the reasons why people unconsciously focus on him and want to pay attention to him. Zhang Yunjing didn''t know what the relationship between Lan Shu''s sister and the boy was, but she could tell that the boy cared about Lan Shu''s girl very much. Of course, Sister Lanshu is also very kind to the boy. There seems to be a gentle, soft, entangled and gradually intensified feeling between the two, which cannot be resolved. Seeing that Xiaobai was already waiting for her at the gate, Lan Shu immediately said to him, "Sister Yunjing said she wanted to invite me to dinner, the kind that can''t be done if you don''t go..." "Yes, I have to treat you to dinner at noon today! Xiaobai is also here." Zhang Yunjing is very good at getting things done, and with a single sentence, she naturally draws Xiao Bai into the small group where they eat. Hearing what Zhang Yunjing said, Xiaobai didn''t immediately agree, but moved his eyes to Lan Shu, met her eyes, and asked her opinion. He only listens to Sister Lan. Lanshu saw Xiaobai''s thoughts, she looked at Xiaobai, and said softly, "Let''s have a meal together at noon." Sister Yun Jing kindly invites her, and it is hard for her to refuse. Xiaobai nodded slowly. ¡­ Lunch is at a time-honored restaurant not far from the paper mill. The predecessor of the restaurant was a state-owned restaurant. A year ago, the manager of the restaurant took the restaurant down and made it private, but the chef remained the same and the taste remained the same. At the entrance of the hotel, Lan Shu waited for Xiao Bai to park the bicycle together, while Zhang Yunjing went in first to arrange a private room. The two of them parked the car, walked into the hotel lobby, and were about to go to the private room in the backyard, when they suddenly heard the direction of the corner of the hotel lobby, and someone mentioned the name that caught their attention instantly¡ª "Yunjie, you are so kind-hearted that you will be manipulated by that **** Lan Shu!" "More than three hundred yuan~ it all went into her pocket!" "Yunjie, you must be very good to me in the future, I want to spend the rest of my life with you..." Before Li Xiumei finished speaking, she found Xu Yunjie who was sitting opposite her at the dinner table looked up slightly, showing a surprised and then guilty expression. Not long ago, Xu Yunjie calmed down his girlfriend''s emotions, and it was just in time for noon, so he took Li Xiumei to have a meal at the outer door. He didn''t expect that they would be able to meet Lan Shu and the boy next to her who was not easy to mess with at first glance, at least he was a boy who couldn''t beat him with his hands! "Yunjie?" Li Xiumei didn''t know what happened yet. Immediately afterwards, she heard a slightly familiar voice behind her¡ª "Xu Yunjie, tell me again, when we divorced, how much did you pay me back? Is it only more than three hundred yuan?" Lan Shu said, standing in front of Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei''s dining table with a half-smile. Xiao Bai was right next to her, a shoulder distance away from him. As long as there was any movement on Xu Yunjie''s side, he would be able to push him down immediately! Aside, Li Xiumei heard the voice and turned around abruptly! The next second, she saw a woman wearing a white shirt and light blue jeans, with long hair naturally scattered on her shoulders, and her simple dress set off her temperament, which even looked a little foreign. Li Xiumei was startled, and after a closer look, she realized that this woman was actually Lan Shu! The last time she saw Lan Shu in the shopping mall, she was a very rural woman, wearing ill-fitting clothes and dressed in a rustic way. But now that I haven''t seen her for a few days, Lan Shu''s image has changed a lot! At this moment, she doesn''t look like a rural person at all... But even so, Li Xiumei can''t forget Lan Shu''s evil deeds! She frowned, and when she faced Lan Shu, there was disgust in her eyes, "What do you mean?!" Lan Shu saw Xu Yunjie''s face was ugly, her mouth was tightly shut, and she obviously didn''t intend to explain, she sneered, and then shifted her gaze to Li Xiumei. "It seems that Xu Yunjie didn''t tell you the truth. When we divorced, I took 700 yuan. It''s just that he didn''t give me the money, but he returned it to our family." Lan Shu''s voice paused for a moment, and then continued to speak under Li Xiumei''s puzzled gaze. "Do you think all the tuition expenses for his two years of college can be paid by the poor Xu family who sold him to our family?" Although Lan Shu didn''t go into too much detail, what she said confirmed what was said in the previous newspaper article that their marriage was just a tool used by Xu Yunjie to go to school. Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Li Xiumei''s eyes widened in disbelief. At this moment, she found that Xu Yunjie didn''t stand up to argue at all! Is this all true? ! But Xu Yunjie has only graduated for one year, so where does he have 700 yuan? ! That is, all his wages combined are not enough! So the rural woman in front of her must be lying! Immediately afterwards, Li Xiumei heard Lan Shu ask Xu Yunjie¡ª "Xu Yunjie, have you paid off the money you borrowed from your colleagues in the factory? The cost of falling in love is not small, or is your new girlfriend so considerate that you only fall in love and don''t cost you a penny?" "Borrowing money?!" Li Xiumei was startled, and then she suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Yunjie. "You really borrowed money from others, and now you owe money?" Li Xiumei can''t believe it! It is not a trivial matter to owe money in this era, and people who owe money will be looked down upon by others! Her boyfriend turned out to be that kind of person? (end of this chapter) Chapter 38: so poor Chapter 38 So Poor Xiaobai on the side heard Sister Lan''s words, he didn''t care about Xu Yunjie''s silence and embarrassment, and Li Xiumei''s hysterical questioning. Instead, she silently remembered Sister Lan''s words that "the cost of falling in love is not small". Although Xiaobai is not in a relationship, after hearing this, he suddenly wants to make money. And make a lot of money! Right now, Li Xiumei couldn''t care less about arguing with Lan Shu. What she cared more about was that the man she chose was actually in debt! Li Xiumei suddenly felt a little blind! Moreover, Xu Yunjie, who graduated from school, has become a little unreliable in just one year¡ª "Xu Yunjie, how many things are you hiding from me?!" Li Xiumei''s trust in Xu Yunjie is in crisis! Originally reconciled as before, the two people who came to eat happily yelled and quarreled in the lobby of the hotel, attracting a crowd of people in the restaurant to watch! Lan Shu came to eat today, she was not in the mood to continue watching Xu Yunjie''s mess, so she took Xiao Bai straight to the private room in the backyard of the hotel. At noon, Zhang Yunjing hosted guests, and the three of them ordered four dishes and one soup, all of which were meat. After eating and drinking enough, I left the restaurant with unfinished business. Lan Shu has nothing to do in the afternoon, she is going to go back to have a rest, and then exercise. She just pays attention to her diet recently, she doesn''t do aerobics, and her weight loss progress has slowed down a lot. And Zhang Yunjing wanted to withdraw money to send to Director Zhu, so the two broke up at the entrance of the restaurant. Xiao Bai rode on the bicycle, Lan Shu sat in the back seat of the car, and waved goodbye to Zhang Yunjing. Looking at the back of the boy carrying Lan Shu''s sister away, Zhang Yunjing suddenly felt that the two of them were harmonious and comfortable together, and the years were peaceful. "It''s a good match, but the age is a bit short." Zhang Yunjing said, sighed, and left. ¡­ This weekend, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai almost spent reading books. On Monday morning, Xiaobai rode his bicycle and took Lanshu to the paper mill. Zhang Yunjing''s 6,000 yuan fundraising has arrived, and Lan Shu asked Factory Director Zhu about the purchase of the machine. Knowing that around next Wednesday, the machines for producing sanitary napkins will be delivered to the factory smoothly, and the situation of the toilet paper factory will be progressing smoothly, Lan Shu is relieved. In the evening, the night school has classes. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai ate early and deliberately arrived at the night school earlier than usual. Their test results last Friday night should come out today. In the evening, Teacher Song stood downstairs in the evening school, watching the sky gradually darken. Song Jimin is forty-two years old this year. He has been teaching for many years. He has also taught in evening schools for four or five years and has met countless students. But it was the first time Song Jimin had seen students who had the ability to take the graduation exam in just a few days. And this meeting is two people! Last Friday, Song Jimin gave Lan Shu and Xiao Bai two mock test papers with the intention of embarrassing them. I don''t want the final exam results to come out, but the person who is in trouble is myself¡ª Among the two papers with full marks of 100 points in the arts and sciences, he scored 97 and 95 points on Lan Shu''s papers respectively. As for Xiaobai''s paper, Song Jimin carefully read it twice, but he didn''t find a single mistake! Seeing Xiaobai''s two perfect score papers, Song Jimin fell silent... Is there really a student who can complete other people''s two-year courses in just a few days of class? Song Jimin felt that Xiaobai was here to play tricks on him! These two students definitely have a learning foundation before! But when Song Jimin checked Lan Shu''s educational background through his relationship, he found that Lan Shu had only graduated from elementary school and hadn''t even finished junior high school. As for Xiaobai''s situation, there is no information at all! So Song Jimin''s attitude towards the two immediately changed. One graduated from elementary school, the other never went to school. He didn''t know how much work they had put in in private before applying for the night school exam, and how long they had studied at home to get their current grades! Song Jimin was very pleased that they were able to reach their current learning level through self-study. For this year''s graduation exam, he agreed to take the two of them! Even if it is against the rules to do so. But even if he is looking for someone to trust, he must do what he says, so that the two of them can take the exam smoothly! So when Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at the night school, what they saw was Teacher Song standing downstairs, waiting for them with a kind smile on his face. "Student Lan Shu, student Xiaobai, you don''t have to come to the night school recently, go back and prepare well, the exam at the beginning of next month, work hard!" Listening to Teacher Song''s words, Lan Shu was startled¡ª Although she knew that her mock exam shouldn''t be too bad, she still didn''t know how much her score would be. Even if Teacher Song agrees with them to take the exam, she should tell her about her exam level~~! As for Xiaobai, with that calm expression, it is obvious that he fully expected the current situation. Just like that, the two of them were completely exempted by Teacher Song from the original night school courses. How did they come here today, and how did they return the same way. ¡­ The next morning, Lan Shu smelled the fragrance and opened her eyes from the bed. When she was in the village, Xiaobai took on the responsibility of cooking. After coming to the county, Lan Shu occasionally cooks when she is in the mood, and most of the time it is Xiaobai who cooks. The morning sun slanted down and fell on the boy''s fair face. His long eyelashes are slightly raised, and they are coated with a layer of gold under the light. When Lan Shu walked out of the room, she saw such a scene. The light blue shirt was tucked into the waistband of the black trousers, perfectly showing the boy''s wide shoulders and narrow waist. so beautiful~ Everyone has a love of beauty, and having someone pleasing to the eye around you will bring you a good mood every day. But I looked at it and said, ¡®Ah Choo! ¡¯ With a sound, Lan Shu couldn¡¯t help sneezing due to the cool wind outside. Cool down! But she is still wearing a shirt and jeans, and so is Xiaobai, with thin clothes on her body. Two weeks ago, when they came to the county seat, they didn''t bring thick clothes at all. Now that the temperature has cooled, it''s time to buy new clothes. But there is a big problem right now. ¡ªThey have no money! It''s not that there is no money at all. Lan Shu only has 20 yuan in her hand now, and 8 yuan and 60 cents of it are the manuscript fees given by Zhang Yunjing. so poor~ She sighed, went to the pool on the side of the yard to wash her face, and then came back and sat at the table. Even if Xiao Bai put the rice in front of her, she didn''t have much appetite to eat it. If you are as poor as you are, you are as poor as you are, and it would be too wronged for you to let a beautiful boy like Xiaobai suffer with you. Waiting for the toilet paper factory on the other side of the paper factory, it is still too early to produce sanitary napkins and get dividends. Before that, Lan Shu had to think carefully, what should she do to make money and support Xiaobai? Xiao Bai didn''t know what Sister Lan was thinking, and what he was thinking in his heart was exactly the same as Lan Shu. It''s getting cold, it''s time to add thick clothes, how will he make money to buy clothes for Sister Lan? Sister Lan caught a cold and sneezed just now... So after dinner, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai greeted each other, saying they were going to walk around, and then went out alone. Xiaobai didn¡¯t follow this time, he was also planning to find a place to make money¡ª Asking for tickets every day, officially entering the PK today, we need everyone''s support! Veteran readers know that novels can only be written long if they have good grades. After all, the author also has to eat to support his family. So in order to complete the plot of this novel in the future, please support as much as you can! Recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, five-star reviews, messages, check-ins in the book circle, and rewards are all needed. Thank you so much! (end of this chapter) Chapter 39: worry about selling Chapter 39 Don''t worry about selling Changheng Street is located in the east of Qingyang County. There are several old blocks in this area, and the shopping malls in the county are located four or five miles away. Although Changheng Street is not prosperous, there is a lot of traffic. There is an old street nearby, with restaurants and various small shops on both sides. Lan Shu''s landlord''s sister-in-law Xie Xiezi opened a shop on the street. A shop that changes clothes, closes trousers, and does odd jobs. Lan Shu only knew that Sister-in-law Xie opened the store before, and she passed by several times when she came and went. Today is the first time she actually visited the store. Sister-in-law Xie¡¯s name is Xie Xiaoju. The store she runs is only about ten square meters in size. According to Mrs. Xie, when she and her husband got married, both families were poor. They only received a bride price, and they didn¡¯t have any big things like watches, bicycles, and sewing machines. A few years ago, her husband bought her a sewing machine after he made money by driving and pulling goods, saying that it was to compensate her for the big wedding. This sewing machine used to be idle at home most of the time. After the policy allowed business in the first two years, Mrs. Xie found a front room on the street and used the sewing machine at home to do some odd jobs by herself. Although this small business doesn¡¯t make a lot of money, it still earns more than a dozen yuan a month, which is enough for her and her son¡¯s daily expenses, and it can also be considered as a subsidy for the family. Lan Shu stayed in Sister-in-law Xie''s shop for a while, and observed that Sister-in-law Xie was quite proficient in stepping on the sewing machine. She casually asked, "Sister-in-law Xie, can you cut clothes?" Generally, people who can make clothes may not necessarily be able to cut them. Even if they can cut them, it is not easy to control the shape of clothes well. Xie Xiaoju was asked, and she opened her mouth almost without hesitation to answer, "Yes, I worked in a garment factory when I was young. Although I didn''t learn tailoring formally, I usually took care to memorize the pattern." Speaking of working in a garment factory, Xie Xiaoju was a little proud. Lan Shu could tell that her pride was entirely a manifestation of her ability and confidence. It seemed that Xie Xiaoju was afraid that Lan Shu would not believe it, and Xie Xiaoju added later, "Since I bought a sewing machine at home, all the clothes our family wears are made by myself." Hearing what she said, Lan Shu immediately looked at the rose red shirt on Sister-in-Law Xie''s body. This dress has nothing to say about the workmanship and shape, but the color is too dazzling. Learning that Mrs. Xie can make clothes, Lan Shu suddenly had an idea! "Sister-in-law Xie, can you help me make clothes? I will draw the blueprints, and you will do it. It''s a piece-by-piece calculation." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xie Xiaoju immediately smiled and shook her head, "Sister, what kind of clothes do you want, just bring the fabric, sister-in-law will make it for you, no charge." Ever since the two young men bought breakfast for her and her son, Xie Xiaoju never treated them as outsiders. It''s just making a piece of clothing. She knows how to do it. It''s just a waste of time, and it''s not worth it. Sister-in-law Xie''s kindness is appreciated by Lan Shu, but she can''t take advantage of it. And she is not going to wear the clothes alone. "Let''s count the money by the piece." Lan Shu insisted, "Sister-in-law, I want to ask you to make clothes not just for me to wear, I want to sell clothes, clothes of my own design." Knowing Lan Shu''s thoughts, Xie Xiaoju was startled¡ª "You want to sell clothes? But many people buy clothes in shopping malls. You made them in my small shop, can you sell them?" Xie Xiaoju was very worried about Lan Shu. After all, fabrics are needed to make clothes. If the clothes cannot be sold, the money for the fabrics will be lost! Regarding this, Lan Shu was not too worried. "Thank you sister-in-law, I''m responsible for whether I can sell it or not. I just want to ask you to help me make clothes. Do you think it''s okay?" Seeing Lan Shu''s firm attitude, Xie Xiaoju thought for a while before answering, "Okay then." Making clothes for Sister Lanshu is actually a good thing for her. After all, clothes are counted by piece, and she has money to make clothes. If there is work for her in this small shop, then do it! Lan Shu is not blind here. After learning about the places where fabrics are wholesaled in the county, the approximate price of materials, the size of each piece of clothing, and the workmanship of the clothes with Mrs. Xie, Lan Shu immediately set off¡ª She went back to the rented place first, and saw that Xiao Bai was not there, only the bicycle was parked in the yard, so Lan Shu went back to the room to get the spare key, and went out on the bicycle! She used to be able to ride a bicycle, but the seat position of the ''28 Dagong'' in this era is too high, making it difficult to ride. But after she got used to it a bit, she could barely ride out. During this period of time in the county, Lan Shu had roughly memorized the route, and with a bicycle, she arrived at the fabric wholesale market that Aunt Xie mentioned about ten minutes later. Here we say it is a market, but in fact there are only a few stores. After comparing the prices of the fabrics one by one, Lan Shu bought five meters of white cotton fabric suitable for women''s shirts, four meters of black ''Dailiang'' similar to thick yarn, and four meters and seven meters of light brown cotton. Cotton is the first choice for windbreaker jackets. White pure cotton fabric costs 21 meters per piece, "Kailiang" costs 2 yuan per meter, and cotton fiber also costs 2 yuan. In order to save money, Lan Shu is almost accurate in the fabric consumption of each piece of clothing. Even so, she spent a total of twenty-three yuan and forty cents, which was almost all the money she had. After paying the bill, she had only one yuan and sixty cents left, not even enough to pay Mrs. Xie. Fortunately, she is renting a house at Sister-in-law Xie''s house, so she doesn''t have to worry about running out of money, and there is still time to pay her wages after selling the clothes. Go back with the fabric, and the next step is to design the style. The style Lan Shu wants is very simple, white cotton shirt, but instead of the pointed collar of the shirt, there are two slender straps at the neckline, enough to tie a bow. The skirt is the simplest black elastic waist skirt. Only the trench coat is a little troublesome. It needs to be made with a slightly larger lapel, and making the coat takes the most time. Although Xie Xiaoju didn''t understand why Lan Shu sister changed the shirt collar into two ropes, she still cut the clothes according to the requirements and made them out. Busy from the morning until three o''clock in the afternoon, Xie Xiaoju didn''t take a break at noon, so Xie Xiaoju made a top, a skirt, and a windbreaker. Lan Shu took the clothes back to her upper body and tried them on. She tied the two long straps at the neckline into a bow, tucked the hem of the shirt into the waist of the skirt, put on a windbreaker, let her hair down, and her elegant style was immediately reflected! In this era, this suit is definitely majestic and fashionable. In order to verify her idea, Lan Shu went out wearing this suit. Along the way, she really attracted the attention of many women! Several women even stopped her to ask where she bought the clothes. For those who asked about the source of the clothes, Lan Shu only replied that they will be sold at the intersection of Changheng Road tomorrow afternoon. Although she hasn''t started selling clothes yet, Lan Shu already knew in advance that she would definitely not worry about selling this suit! (end of this chapter) Chapter 40: useless Chapter 40 is really useless On this day, Xie Xiaoju was busy until evening, and finally made three more skirts, two shirts, and a trench coat. Because Lan Shu didn''t have much money, she bought limited fabrics, which was enough to make five shirts, four skirts and two trench coats. Xie Xiaoju still has two shirts to make, but she can finish it tomorrow morning. Xie Xiaoju figured it out, she could make a lot of money by making these clothes for Sister Lanshu! The skirt is the easiest to make, and the cost is 50 cents a piece. It is not troublesome to make shirts. You can make several in one afternoon, and the wages are one yuan per piece. The workmanship of the windbreaker is a bit cumbersome, and the wages are one yuan and five pieces. Four skirts, five shirts, and two windbreakers together, she can get ten yuan! You can earn ten yuan in a day and a half. Putting this kind of thing before, Xie Xiaoju couldn''t believe it! Although the money hasn''t arrived yet, she believes in Lan Shu''s character. Lan Shu''s side, in the afternoon, she went to the street outside. After promoting the clothes, she came back in the evening and put away the new clothes. She will wear them tomorrow so as not to get dirty. Then as soon as she left the room, she saw Xiao Bai walking in from the gate. Today, when Lan Shu went to buy fabrics for processing, and planned to sell clothes to make money, Xiao Bai was not idle. He wanted to find a job nearby, but the small shops around him were all small businesses, and he didn''t need helpers at all. So Xiaobai, who couldn''t find a job, came back dejectedly, feeling that he was so useless! That''s it, how can I make a lot of money? Although Xiaobai has never thought about falling in love, he wants to make money for Sister Lan. Knowing Xiaobai''s situation today, Lan Shu didn''t comfort her, but told Xiaobai, "Come with me tomorrow!" The next day, Xiaobai got up early, waiting for Sister Lan''s orders. But he cooked the meal, the two of them finished eating, and after he washed the dishes, he didn''t see Sister Lan showing any intention of going out. It wasn''t until after another lunch that Lan Shu put on the clothes Xie Xie made yesterday and took Xiao Bai out. Seeing Sister Lan''s new clothes, Xiao Bai was really taken aback. This dress is worn on Sister Lan, it looks good and thin, which makes people''s eyes shine! There is an indescribable temperament. So, Sister Lan is already able to make money to buy clothes by herself, she doesn''t need herself at all... Followed Sister Lan with a depressed mood, ten minutes later, on Changheng Street. Lan Shu took Xiaobai to get the clothes made in the past two days from the landlord''s sister-in-law Xie Xiaoju''s shop, and found a place at the street corner, let Xiaobai act as a humanoid hanger, lifted the clothes up, and showed them to others as much as possible. "Clothes are on sale! Spring and Autumn new styles, limited suits, limited quantity, first come, first served!" Lan Shu just yelled, and someone turned his attention. Yesterday, several women stopped her on the road and asked where to buy clothes. Knowing that there were not many clothes, they came to the street and waited after lunch. I have never seen this style of clothes in the county shopping malls before. The upper body effect of the clothes is just two words, foreign style! Women love beauty and vanity. Everyone wants to be the first group of people in the county to wear new clothes and be the most fashionable. Hearing the shout at this moment, three or four women immediately surrounded him. I saw that the clothes seller was a little girl who was shopping in clothes yesterday. The women asked the price of the clothes without saying a word. "This shirt is the latest model. It costs 8 yuan a piece. The skirt is made of really good fabric. It is elegant and drape, and it won''t wrinkle. It looks fashionable and high-end. It costs 7 yuan a piece, and the windbreaker costs 15 yuan. Today I have one. , other people need to pre-order if they want it, and it will be available in two days." Lan Shu immediately quoted. As for the pricing, Lan Shu thought about it in advance. The price she sells at this price is no cheaper than that in the county mall. But what she sells is a novel style, the quantity is not much, first come first served. As soon as I heard it was a windbreaker, a 30-year-old eldest sister immediately said, "I want it! I want a shirt, a skirt and a windbreaker." After speaking, she had already taken out the money from her pocket. A few other women who were still hesitating after hearing the price, saw that someone ''robbed'' their favorites first, and this sense of urgency to buy clothes made them no longer hesitate! "I want both a shirt and a skirt. How do I order a windbreaker jacket? I want to order one." "Me too, I want a set!" "I just want a shirt and a windbreaker." Lan Shu didn''t have many clothes in total. Except for the one she was wearing, four shirts, three skirts, and a windbreaker were all sold out in a blink of an eye! Narration There are also a few women who just saw the movement and gathered around. Seeing that they came late and didn''t buy anything, they were a little bit less interested. But after they heard that the clothes were available for pre-order, they immediately asked Lan Shu when there were still clothes for sale. Lan Shu and a few customers who didn''t get any clothes made an appointment to sell clothes next time, and they left regretfully. Lan Shu''s side, the clothes were sold for a total of 68 yuan, and after deducting the 10 yuan labor fee for Mrs. Xie later, there are 58 yuan left. She invested 23.4 yuan yesterday, and today her earnings have more than doubled. In the short term, Lan Shu plans to earn some money by selling clothes to get rid of poverty. Xiaobai on the side stared blankly at Sister Lan''s clothes sold out in a blink of an eye, he suddenly felt that he had been ''left behind'' since he hadn''t been with Sister Lan all day yesterday. He didn''t even know when Sister Lan asked the landlord, Sister-in-law Xie, to make clothes and sell them! Xiaobai felt that in terms of making money, he was really useless in front of Sister Lan... Noticing Xiaobai''s depression, Lan Shu quickly guessed the reason for Xiaobai''s depression. Standing at the corner of the street where people come and go, Lan Shu opened her mouth and called softly, "Xiaobai." "Yeah." Xiaobai raised his head and looked at Sister Lan. At this time, there was still some guilt in his eyes because he couldn''t help Sister Lan. "Xiaobai, how to make money is never something you should worry about. Have you forgotten what I said? Your good talent should be used in the right direction. As for making money, leave it to me in the future." Hearing Sister Lan''s words, Xiao Bai''s mood suddenly became complicated¡ª¡ª He and Sister Lan haven''t known each other for a long time, and they are not relatives, but Sister Lan is willing to show her sincerity and selflessness to herself! Even if it is a family relationship, it is nothing more than that. Although Xiaobai still doesn''t know where his family is, to him, Sister Lan is already the closest and dearest person in his heart! Lan Shu could see the movement in Xiao Bai''s eyes, and seeing his eyes fixed on her, Lan Shu even saw her shadow in Xiao Bai''s eyes. The atmosphere made her uncomfortable, and Lan Shu felt that she had to say something to ease the atmosphere. "Or if you want, and if you are free, you can come and help me, we can make money together." "Okay~" A smile suddenly appeared on Xiaobai''s face. He raised the corner of his mouth and agreed! (end of this chapter) Chapter 41: Get out! Chapter 41 Get out! In the afternoon, Lan Shu took Xiao Bai together and went to the fabric wholesale market again. Xiao Bai was riding a bicycle, Lan Shu was sitting on the back seat, and the ''28 Dagang'' was ridden by such a handsome guy with long legs. The bike was fast and stable, and it didn''t take long to reach the market. This time, Lan Shu has a lot more money in her hands, so she can be more selective when buying fabrics. In addition to the previous white cotton fabrics, black ''Dailiang'' and polyester fabrics, she also bought some light blue cotton fabrics and white Dacron fabrics. A light blue shirt with a white skirt and a windbreaker should also work well, and it is more suitable for young girls in their twenties. For older women, she chose a few meters of dark brown polyester fabric to make a windbreaker. After buying the fabric, a large bag was heavy, and Xiao Bai hung it on the front pole of the bicycle and took it back to Mrs. Xie''s shop. Put down the fabric, and at the same time, Lan Shu also gave the previous ten yuan wages to Mrs. Xie as promised. Xie Xiaoju didn''t expect to get the money so soon! And the girl behind Lan Shu still needs more than 30 pieces of shirts, skirts, and coats to continue to let her make. After making these clothes, she can still get more than 30 yuan in wages! Adding the previous ten yuan, she can earn forty or fifty yuan in a few days, which is equivalent to a worker''s salary for a month! Xie Xiaoju was very happy, and agreed to make these clothes as soon as possible, and then started to work immediately. As for Lan Shu, today is the day when the sanitary napkin manufacturing machines purchased by the toilet paper factory arrive at the factory. The factory must be busy during the day, and she plans to go to the factory later to check the situation. The main purpose is to understand what the sanitary napkins made by the sanitary napkin production machine look like. The sanitary napkin she is going to design next needs to refer to the situation that the existing machine can make to draw the picture and change the details. ¡­ In the toilet paper factory at this time, the workshop where toilet paper raw materials piled up like a mountain was vacated, and new machines were pulled over and were being installed. After getting the 16,000 machines, Director Zhu realized that the machines were not new! It is said that the price of a brand-new sanitary napkin production machine will go up to 25,000, and 16,000 can only buy second-hand goods. But this second-hand machine can also be used. The foreign factory that sells the machine guarantees that there is no problem with the machine, and the warranty is five years. As for how to use the machine, technicians were also sent there to teach for a week. But to learn to use this high-end machine, and to be able to adjust and repair it easily, this is really too difficult for the old workers in the original paper mill! Fortunately, the machinery factory is not far from their factory. In desperation, Director Zhu had no choice but to temporarily greet the machinery factory, and wanted to borrow two technicians to come over to participate in the learning of their new machine. After learning the skills, slowly teach them to the old workers in the factory. The machinery factory is adjacent to the paper mill, and the "old neighbor" is in trouble, so it is natural to help if he can. So the machinery factory quickly sent two skilled workers over. ¡­ In the afternoon, when Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at the paper mill, it was already about three or four o''clock. Now at the paper mill, the people in the duty room at the gate already know her, so the entrance is very smooth. Because today is the day when the toilet paper factory''s new machine comes back, Lan Shu didn''t let Xiao Bai go back, but took this opportunity to take Xiao Bai to see the new machine and learn a lot. The two came to the toilet paper factory production workshop familiarly, and walked towards the innermost part of the workshop. Soon, they saw a huge steel monster sprayed with green paint! and Director Zhu standing not far from the machine. There are several people beside Director Zhu, the most conspicuous of which is a foreigner with fair skin and flaxen blond hair. Beside the foreigner, there were two workers in dark blue overalls from the machinery factory next door. The reason why Lan Shu was able to recognize the clothes on the two of them was because the first thing she saw when she came to this era was the blue overalls on Xu Yunjie. This set of clothes is quite deep in her mind. Just thinking that Xu Yunjie was working in the machinery factory next door, the next second, two machinery factory workers in dark blue overalls turned sideways, and while they were talking to foreigners, Lan Shu saw Xu Yunjie¡ª What did Xu Yunjie come to their toilet paper factory? ! Lan Shu frowned, and immediately walked towards Director Zhu. Factory Director Zhu has already explained before that people who are not important should not come to the new machine in the innermost part of the workshop. So when he heard footsteps, Director Zhu immediately turned around and saw Lan Shu and the boy beside her. Seeing that it was Lan Shu who came, Director Zhu was very happy. If there is no sanitary napkin plan proposed by Lan Shu, their factory would not have this machine now. It can be said that there is a great connection between Lan Shu and this machine! Director Zhu was about to say hello to Lan Shu. At this moment, Xu Yunjie who was on the side heard an outsider approaching, turned around and saw Lan Shu subconsciously! Lan Shu is wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and a light brown windbreaker. She looks professional, stylish and elegant. Xu Yunjie had never seen such a Lan Shu before. In just one and a half months, Lan Shu has undergone earth-shaking changes! The woman who used to be fat and made him feel disgusted by her appearance, now looks good. The pleasing Lan Shu in front of him made Xu Yunjie regret the divorce a little... But this thought was just a flash, and it disappeared immediately. No matter how good-looking Lan Shu becomes, she is not as good as Xiumei''s family. Seeing Lan Shu at this time, Xu Yunjie still felt a little bit of hatred in his heart! Last time, he managed to get Xiumei to stop caring about what was in the newspaper. Not long after, his relationship with Xiumei was messed up again by Lan Shu. In the end, in order to coax Xiumei well, he even cried bitterly in front of the woman regardless of his image, and almost knelt down for Xiumei, so that Xiumei could forgive him for his ''little'' deception. All the bad situations he experienced were brought about by Lan Shu! So when he saw Lan Shu appearing near the machines in the paper factory, where idlers can¡¯t get close, Xu Yunjie immediately scolded her¡ª "Stop! Not everyone can come here! Idlers, stay away!" Xu Yunjie''s words didn''t stop Lan Shu, but the director Zhu who was next to him was stunned! Someone approached, and none of the factory managers said a word. How could an employee of the machinery factory next door care so much? Director Zhu''s face darkened, and he was about to let Xu Yunjie know that the little girl Lan Shu in front of him was not just waiting for someone. At this time, Lan Shu spoke¡ª "Xu Yunjie, you can get out of here!" Lan Shu has a firm attitude, and she is unceremonious in pushing people away. This situation surprised even Director Zhu. Xu Yunjie naturally found it incredible! "Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to let me go? I think you are the one who wants to get out of here!" He said loudly. (end of this chapter) Chapter 42: Substitution Chapter 42 Substitution Listening to Xu Yunjie''s words, Lan Shu sneered. She stopped talking nonsense to Xu Yunjie, but looked at Director Zhu, and said calmly, "This Xu Yunjie is the ''Ajie'' in the Linjiang City newspaper last week." Director Zhu was startled when he heard this. The story of ''Ajie'' and ''Xiaomei'' in the newspaper last week aroused widespread discussion, so he naturally read the article. At that time, Director Zhu was so angry that he couldn''t help but cursed at the newspaper when he was caught by the behavior of that ''Ajie'' in the article! Director Zhu even felt that ''Ajie'' was not a man at all, which made him quite despise! And now, the little girl Lan Shu actually pointed out that the worker Xu sent by the machinery factory was ''Ajie''? This made Factory Director Zhu, who was still very optimistic about the two machinery factory workers, instantly dislike Xu Gong! Let such a person come to learn the most high-end machines in their factory, Director Zhu feels panicked when he thinks about it! So Director Zhu looked at Xu Yunjie and said directly, "Mr. Xu, you go back to the machinery factory first. I will find your Director Liang and transfer another skilled worker." When Xu Yunjie heard what Director Zhu said, he would replace himself with just one sentence in front of the person he most wanted to ''stomach'', where would he put his face? ! Xu Yunjie frowned, and met Director Zhu''s gaze, "Director Zhu, do you really want to listen to a woman''s instigation and replace me?" "I''m a university graduate. If you replace me, the machinery factory can''t find a skilled worker with better learning ability than me!" Hearing about the educational background and technical level, Director Zhu was a little worried. The way they use the new machines in the toilet paper factory is very important. Is there really no other outstanding employees in the machine factory besides Mr. Xu? Director Zhu did not fully believe Xu Yunjie''s one-sided words, but looked at another technician in the machinery factory next to Xu Yunjie, He Gong. "There are really no other good skilled workers in your factory?" When He Gong was asked, in front of Xu Yunjie, he couldn''t say to his face that Xu Yunjie''s skills were not top-notch. They are colleagues after all, and it is not easy to offend them, so He Gong chose to remain silent at this time. His silence made Director Zhu immediately worry that if no one learns and learns their new machine well, then the machine bought for 16,000 yuan in the future will be a piece of scrap iron! "Miss Lan Shu, look at this..." Lan Shu understood Director Zhu''s concerns. She was about to say something to solve the situation in front of her, but she was immediately interrupted by Xu Yunjie''s voice. "Lan Shu, don''t waste your time in vain! I really don''t know how you got here, what are you! Can you manage my affairs?" When Director Zhu heard this, he hated Xu Gong at first, but now he frowned even more. He felt that even if Xu Gong had education and skills, he shouldn''t be so arrogant! "Xu Gong! If you are rude to Miss Lanshu again, don''t blame me for not using you!" As soon as Director Zhu''s words fell, Lan Shu''s voice sounded. "Xu Yunjie, without you, I will learn how to use technology with machines!" She couldn''t see Xu Yunjie being so arrogant because of his education! Although Lan Shu feels that her job in the toilet paper factory is to provide sanitary napkin design solutions and follow-up sales planning. But now, in order to let Xu Yunjie go, she would rather work **** herself! "Are you coming?" Xu Yunjie seemed to have heard some big joke. "Lan Shu, you haven''t graduated from primary school, what can you do?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xiao Bai stood beside Lan Shu in the next second¡ª¡ª "It''s just learning how to operate a machine. What''s so difficult about it? Sister Lan doesn''t need to trouble you. I''ll follow along." Xiaobai looked at Xu Yunjie, his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke, and his eyes were full of disgust. He has never been so bored by someone before, and this Xu Yunjie is like a stinking fly, always stalking Sister Lan! It''s really an eyesore! So in order to let this ''fly'' go away, he is willing to step up temporarily. At this time, Lan Shu can understand Xiaobai''s mood, but Director Zhu feels that although the boy next to Miss Lan Shu is handsome, it is not determined by appearance when learning how to use machines. He was about to stand up and persuade the young man not to take matters into his own hands that could not be resolved. At this moment, the foreigner who was in charge of machine teaching behind them suddenly said in English, "Whostudies?" These people in front of him are arguing, his time is very precious! "As I said, I will only teach for one week. After one week, I will leave regardless of whether you have learned it or not." The blond foreigner spoke in a slightly unfamiliar Chinese language. Then he looked at Xiaobai and made a decision, "You come and learn." Although it was the first time for him to meet the people present, the worker who was going to learn from him just now was very rude. Relatively speaking, although the boy in sportswear is young, he will not underestimate anyone who dares to stand up and take responsibility. There is another reason, the boy is very beautiful in appearance, it should be a pleasure to work with him these days. When the foreign teachers spoke in person, Director Zhu couldn''t refuse for a while. But he still couldn''t trust the boy''s ability. Lan Shu knew Director Zhu''s concerns, and also saw that Xiao Bai had made up his mind. In this matter, she will not stop Xiaobai''s decision. So Lan Shu turned to Director Zhu with an almost assured tone, "Don''t worry, Director Zhu, let Xiaobai learn, he will definitely not let you down." Lan Shu believed in Xiaobai''s learning ability. Upon seeing this, Director Zhu hesitated for a moment before nodding. It can only be this way¡­ Xu Yunjie didn''t expect that he was an imposing college student, and he had worked in a machinery factory for a year as a technician, and in the end he was replaced by a boy who didn''t know where he came from! For him, this incident was not only a shame of being squeezed out of his job! When he was transferred from the machinery factory to the toilet paper factory under the paper factory, the leader said that in addition to the normal salary of the machinery factory, as long as he learned the technology well, the toilet paper factory would give him an extra 100 yuan. bonus! What Xu Yunjie lacks most now is money, but now, the money is gone! In addition, seeing and learning more complex machines is also an opportunity for him to improve his own abilities. And now that he doesn''t have this study quota, he is getting nothing from money and technology! It''s all due to Lan Shu''s instigation, and to her meddling in her own business! She is simply her nemesis! He wanted to rush up and question Lan Shu, why did he always get in his way? ! He wanted to slap Lan Shu **** the face! But all this has not waited for him to start implementing. On the opposite side, a boy who was a head taller stood in front of him, protecting Lan Shu behind him. "Now, the idlers can leave." Xiaobai said with a cold light in his eyes, looking down at Xu Yunjie. Update late at night, please vote if you like~Thank you! (end of this chapter) Chapter 43: mature maintenance worker Chapter 43 Mature Maintenance Worker Xu Yunjie finally left the toilet paper factory. Xiaobai stayed behind and learned how to use the machine and simple maintenance with the teaching staff from abroad. In addition to Xiaobai, there is also a 27-year-old He Gong from the machinery factory who is also studying with him. After asking, Lan Shu found out that He Gong was actually the younger brother of Mrs. He next door when she lived in the machinery factory building. Gong He''s name is He Yi. He had heard from his sister about Xu Yunjie''s wife before, so he had a good impression of Lan Shu. In addition to the article published in the newspaper a while ago, in fact, many people in the factory guessed something, and it was rumored that Xu Yunjie was ''Ajie'' behind his back. Therefore, everyone has a bad impression of Xu Yunjie. Now, He Yi doesn''t have to work with Xu Yunjie, he is too happy to be happy. So the communication between Xiaobai and He Yi went very smoothly. At the night school outside the toilet paper factory, there is still one month left before the graduation exam at the beginning of next month. During this month, except for Xiaobai, he needs to follow Mark from abroad to learn how to operate and repair machines. The remaining time is enough for him to teach other employees in the toilet paper factory how to use the machine after he finishes his studies. Factory Manager Zhu said that Xiaobai will not let him do it for nothing during the period of studying in the factory, as well as the later teaching. The factory will pay him a salary of 47 yuan a month based on the salary of a skilled worker. In addition, during the week he studied with Mark, if he studied well and taught well later, the factory would also give him a bonus of 100 yuan. The conditions promised by Director Zhu to Xu Yunjie are also valid for Xiaobai. Xiaobai, who was worried about not being able to find a job and earn money, suddenly had this temporary job to do. While Xiaobai and He Yi were learning how to use the machine, the factory also purchased a batch of raw materials for making sanitary napkins. Zhang Yunjing handed over 4,000 yuan of fundraising to Director Zhu a few days ago. So after the raw materials arrived, Xiaobai and He Yi have already started to use the machine to try to make sanitary napkins under Mark''s teaching. The appearance of sanitary napkins in foreign countries is that they are wrapped with upper and lower layers of non-woven fabrics, and the middle is filled with pulp. Sanitary napkins like that can also be used, but the effect is not good. In addition to being easy to shift back and forth, the heavy menstrual period will cause penetration. When it came to Lan Shu, she proposed to try to use water-proof paper as the bottom film of sanitary napkins temporarily due to technical limitations and the impossibility of making a water-proof and breathable PE base film. A batch of sanitary napkins like this was produced on the third day after trying to manufacture them, and then there were processes of adding adhesive backing and independent packaging. When Mark was abroad, he was no stranger to the manufacture of sanitary napkins. But when he saw the sanitary napkins produced in the factory, although there were only a small change from foreign sanitary napkins, the effect of use was definitely greatly improved! Knowing that such sanitary napkins were designed by Lan Shu, every time Lan Shu came to the factory, Mark would greet her warmly. After several exchanges, Lan Shu even made a foreign friend named Mark. On the weekend, Xiaobai took a day off from the factory, and accompanied Lan Shu to sell the clothes that the landlord Xie Xie had made in the past few days. A total of thirty-one pieces of clothing, ten skirts and ten shirts each, and eleven trench coats. Their clothes are fashionable and matched with suits, which are very easy to sell. At the intersection with a lot of traffic, it only took more than an hour to sell out. The clothes sold for a total of 315 yuan this time. After giving Mrs. Xie 30 yuan as wages, there were 285 yuan left. With all this money, Lan Shu is temporarily free. The two of them went to the fabric market again, bought more than 80 yuan of fabric, and let Xie Xie continue to make clothes. With the remaining 200 yuan, Lan Shu took Xiao Bai to the county shopping mall and bought him two trench coats, thick and thin. Although it would be cheaper for Mrs. Xie to make clothes like coats, Lan Shu just wanted to go to the mall and take Xiaobai to try them on and buy them. Choosing and buying clothes for such a beautiful boy who looks pleasing to the eye, the indescribable sense of cultivation... She likes it~ ¡­ A week later, Mark''s teaching ended and it was time to return home. Before going back, he briefly talked to Director Zhu about the study situation of Xiaobai and He Yi. He Yi is well-behaved. He has learned his studies, but he is not proficient. He just learned the basics. And Xiaobai spent a week to learn this machine thoroughly, and he even knows the effect of each part and the next part. According to what Mark said, Xiaobai can already be a mature maintenance worker for this type of machine. Mark said that with the five-year warranty promised by the seller, even if there is a problem with the machine in the future, they don¡¯t need to come to the door to repair it in person. As long as they send over the new parts that need to be replaced, Xiaobai can fix it by himself. Upon learning of this, Director Zhu was overjoyed! At first, he was worried that Xiaobai would follow Mark to learn how to repair machines, but he just took up the quota. But now, he is glad that he listened to the words of little girl Lan Shu! So on the day Mark left, Xiaobai received a bonus of 100 yuan from Director Zhu in advance. Before he got his salary, Xiao Bai, who got the bonus first, was startled¡ª After getting off work in the evening, he went to the county shopping mall and bought an off-white woolen coat for Sister Lan. The weather is getting colder and colder, Sister Lan will use it. ¡­ Time soon came to the end of the month, and a lot of sanitary napkins produced in the toilet paper factory had already been stockpiled. Last week, Lan Shu''s aunt arrived as scheduled¡ª After using the sanitary napkins herself, although she feels that there are still many problems with these sanitary napkins that can be improved. For example, the softness of the bottom water-proof paper and the viscosity of the back glue are improved. But compared to the toilet paper used by women in this era, this batch of first-generation sanitary napkins can already be called a must-have! For the next sale, Lan Shu did not spend money on advertising, but chose to spread the sanitary napkins in various supply and marketing cooperatives in the county. In addition to selling at the supply and marketing cooperative, she also let the female employees of the toilet paper factory distribute near the supply and marketing cooperative, giving free gifts to women in their twenties and thirties. The sanitary napkins provided as a gift are each individually packaged, clean and hygienic. After sending out, after these women have experienced the convenience of sanitary napkins, I believe they will become long-term customers of sanitary napkins in the future¡ª ¡­ Entering November, there are still four days before the evening school''s graduation exam this year. Although Lanshu and Xiaobai were busy with the paper mill and selling clothes during this period, their study status has not fallen at all, and they have two or three hours of reading and review time every day. The location of the exam is not in the county seat, but in Linjiang City, so the two of them have to settle in the city ahead of time. After resting, take the exam. (end of this chapter) Chapter 44: Linjiang City Chapter 44 Linjiang City In the First People''s Hospital of Linjiang City, Lan Xiuming learned that his younger sister would come to the city tomorrow, so he booked a guest house room for her in advance. And ask for leave the next day, go to the bus station to pick up the younger sister. Lanshu and Xiaobai took the shuttle bus from the county to the city in the morning, and arrived at Linjiang City Bus Station at noon. As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw Lan Xiuming walking towards them waving. Lan Xiuming hasn''t seen his little sister for more than a month. During this period of time, the little girl has changed a lot. She has changed from a chubby, lazy and cute "little pig" to a slender figure who is estimated to only weigh more than one hundred and ten catties. So Lan Xiuming, the brother, actually didn''t recognize the little girl at first. He saw Xiaobai''s height and appearance that everyone was looking at, and based on Xiaobai, he recognized his sister. Of course the younger sister can''t let the younger sister know, otherwise it will appear that he is too incompetent as an older brother. However, Lan Xiuming felt that not only he, but also the third younger brother would never recognize the younger sister''s current appearance! The little girl who has lost weight is not as round and cute as before, but she is much more beautiful. She was wearing a light blue shirt, a black skirt, and an off-white coat. Lan Xiuming felt like she was a scholarly lady from a big city when she was dressed like this! But when he thought of the grades that his little sister never passed in school, Lan Xiuming''s thoughts just now were instantly shattered by reality¡ª This time, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai came to Jiang City for the exam, and Lan Shu didn''t tell the second brother about it. She just said on the phone that she had something to do in the city for two days. The little girl finally came here, and Lan Xiuming rarely asked for leave, and took the little girl to a famous restaurant in Linjiang City, and had a good meal! In the afternoon, Lan Xiuming planned to take his little sister to the zoo in Linjiang City, but Lan Shu refused. "Second brother, I am no longer a child, so I don''t need to go to the zoo to see animals..." If the younger sister doesn¡¯t want to watch it, then don¡¯t watch it. Lan Xiuming immediately changed places and took the younger sister to the mall to buy clothes. Since Lan Xiuming has been working in these years, he has bought clothes for his little sister. Every year, he will take her to the mall, and he will buy whatever the little girl likes. Lan Shu is still somewhat interested in going shopping. She goes to see what clothes are popular in the shopping malls in the city. She can also use them as a reference to improve and ask Mrs. Xie to make new clothes. The shopping malls in Linjiang City are much larger than the shopping malls in the county. There are four floors in total, and each floor has a size of five to six hundred square meters. The first floor sells shoes, the second and third floors are clothes, and the fourth floor is other small commodities. Lan Shu first bought a pair of shoes for herself and Xiaobai on the first floor, and then went to the second floor to buy two sweaters for each of them. The sweaters she bought are one black and one white, and Xiao Bai''s sweater is the same color. She did not mean to buy the same style when she bought it this way, she just thought that these two colors would go well with the clothes. Besides, Lan Xiuming stared blankly at the way the little girl bought things and paid for them neatly. Lan Xiuming:? When did his little sister become so rich? He talked with his eldest brother on the phone last month to find out about the construction situation on the back mountain side of his home. He learned that the younger sister left all the money at home, and then went to work in the paper mill in the city. Keep working in a paper mill only costs 30 to 40 yuan a month, right? The clothes and shoes my little sister bought today cost seventy or eighty yuan! "Little sister, how is your work lately?" Lan Xiuming asked tentatively. "The job is pretty good, everything is going well. Xiaobai also went there to work for a month. In addition to his salary, he also received a bonus of 100 yuan last month." Lan Shu replied casually while walking around. Hearing this sentence, Lan Xiuming finally knew where his little sister''s money came from! It seems that Xiaobai gave all his salary and bonus to Xiaomei. The relationship between the two is actually so good? A man willing to give all his money to a woman, this behavior¡­ Lan Xiuming immediately asked, "Then when do you plan to get married?" Lan Shu:? Who is the second brother talking to? Xiao Bai also looked at the second brother of the Lan family in a daze. It was because Lan Xiuming''s eyes were too obvious on Lan Shu and Xiao Bai. Lan Shu looked up at him, and after reacting for a while, she understood what the second brother meant. "What are you thinking?! It''s impossible for me and Xiaobai!" Lan Shu said, then she looked away and went to the next store to choose the clothes she wanted to buy. After Xiaobai learned what brother Xiuming meant, he was stunned for a while, his eyes followed Sister Lan''s back, thoughtful. Seeing that his little sister has changed her temperament, and she doesn''t plan to accept a man as good-looking as Xiaobai, Lan Xiuming really didn''t expect it. But he thought again, his little sister is not going to let Xiaobai into their blue family, and it is natural to spend the hard-earned money Xiaobai earned. Isn''t it too...inappropriate for a little sister to do this? After all, she is his younger sister, so even Lan Xiuming couldn''t tell if she was too obedient. But he really felt pitiful for Xiaobai, who lost his memory and was bullied by the domineering little sister. "Xiaobai, tell me if you have any difficulties in the future, and I... will try to stand by your side." Lan Xiuming said, patted Xiaobai''s shoulder comfortingly, and then heaved a long sigh, and then followed in the footsteps of his little sister. noob:? He just understood Brother Xiu Ming''s thoughts, but now, he doesn''t understand Brother Xiu Ming''s meaning anymore... However... Brother Xiu Ming can stand on my side, that is also good~ And Lan Xiuming doesn''t know what he will pay in the future for his present promise... ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai brought the stationery needed for the exam, came out of the guest house, and took the bus to the place where they were going to take the exam today. Lan Xiuming still has to go to work today, but he and his younger sister have made an appointment to have lunch together. Whether you eat or not, the exam is the most important thing now. The two arrived at the place, and entered the examination room after handing in the examination certificate. In the past few years, there have been many people taking the exam every year. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were not assigned to the same exam room. The two sat in two classrooms respectively, got the test papers, and bowed their heads to start the papers. The exam time is two and a half hours in total, and several subjects are tested together. Xiaobai''s answering speed has always been fast, and Lanshu''s side is not slow. Before the end of the exam, the two of them have already handed in the papers and walked out of the classroom. When Lan Shu walked out of the classroom, she saw Xiao Bai was already waiting outside the examination room. Seeing that Xiaobai''s expression remained calm as usual, she knew that Xiaobai did well in the exam this time. And she should not be far behind. "Let''s go, let''s find a place to have dinner and celebrate at noon?" Lan Shu decided not to take her second brother with her, so she and Xiao Bai went to celebrate alone! At the hospital, Lan Xiuming, who was waiting for his sister after get off work at noon, didn¡¯t know that his brother was cheated~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 45: find family Chapter 45 Finding Family Li Xuan is from Linjiang City. She is seventeen years old this year. When she was ten years old, her family of three moved from Linjiang City to Kyoto because of her father''s job transfer, and they lived in the compound in District Z of Kyoto. After changing to a new environment, Li Xuan was very uncomfortable and didn''t have many friends. At that time, she met Gu Jue, the youngest son of the Gu family in the compound. Gu Jue is different from her. Around him, there is never a shortage of peers who want to play with him. Li Xuan is very envious of Gu Jue''s high popularity, being surrounded by people like stars holding the moon. It was only when she grew up that Li Xuan realized that the reason why so many children of the same age played with Gu Jue back then was not only Gu Jue''s own charisma, but also the Gu family''s unusual family. Although Li Xuan lives in the same compound as Gu Jue''s family, she doesn''t see Gu Jue much. Because not long after their family moved, she heard that Gu Jue went to the army with his grandfather, and came back once or twice a year. But last year, she saw Gu Jue again. Gu Jue, who was the king of the kids in the compound when he was young, went to the army for a few years to experience, he has a little more calmness, but he is still bright and handsome. Li Xuan has always known that Gu Jue is good-looking. At that time, she was just beginning to fall in love, and when she saw Gu Jue jogging in the yard wearing an army green vest, she couldn''t help but blush and shy, and fantasized that she would become Gu Jue''s girlfriend. But she just thought about it, but didn''t dare to do anything. Because she knows her family and the Gu family are far from it. A few days ago, Li Xuan went back to her hometown in Linjiang City. The old man in the family passed away. She came back with her mother to attend the funeral. After finishing her work, she was about to leave today, but before she left, she saw Gu Jue outside Linjiang Hotel! With Gu Jue, there was another girl, and they walked into the restaurant together... Li Xuan likes Gu Jue, and has been secretly in love with Gu Jue for more than a year. She can be sure that she is not mistaken, that is Gu Jue! Before she returned to Linjiang City, she heard that the youngest son of the Gu family was missing. At that time, she was as sad as if she had lost her love¡ª Now, Gu Jue is not missing, he is in Linjiang City! Li Xuan wanted to spread the good news immediately! So she walked into the supply and marketing cooperative near Linjiang Hotel and made a phone call. She always knew the phone number, but never called it once, it was Gu Jue''s phone number! ¡­ Kyoto, Z district compound, Gu''s family. Some time ago, Wei Qiushuang fell seriously ill. This disease was caused by heart disease, and the disease went away like a spinning thread. She stayed at home for more than a month before she recovered a little and was able to get out of bed and walk around. Regarding the disappearance of his son, Wei Qiushuang still can''t believe what happened to his son. She believes that one day her son will come back! Wei Qiushuang did not expect that the son she had been thinking about so much, finally got news today! When the phone rang at home, Wei Qiushuang slowly walked down the stairs, sat on the sofa in the living room, and answered the phone listlessly. "Hello? Who is the Gu family?" The voice of a girl came from the phone, and the other party didn''t seem to have thought about who she was looking for before making the call. "I am Wei Qiushuang." She replied softly. Afterwards, Wei Qiushuang heard the **** the phone say, "Mrs. Wei, my name is Li Xuan. I just met Gu Jue. He is at Linjiang Hotel!" "What... where?!" Wei Qiushuang suddenly heard the whereabouts of her son, excited, unbelievable, tears that had been held back for several days, and instantly flowed down! "Linjiang Hotel? Is it in Linjiang City? Where are you? Can you see him now? Is he okay...?" Wei Qiushuang asked, her voice trembling. "Thank you for telling me this news. Please leave your contact information and help me find him. I will thank you very much! I will go to Linjiang City immediately!" Wei Qiushuang said, picked up the phone book next to the phone, listened to the voice on the phone, and wrote down an address and phone number on the blank page. After finishing the call, she made another call. Not long after, a black car stopped outside Gu''s two-story building. Wei Qiushuang put on a coat casually and went out, got in the car and explained to the driver, and immediately set off for Linjiang City¡ª ¡­ Linjiang City, Linjiang Hotel. Lanshu and Xiaobai sat down in the corner of the restaurant lobby. After looking through the menu, they ordered three dishes and one soup. Lanshu likes to drink sweet soup, and Xiaobai doesn''t dislike it either. Lanshu likes to eat fish, although Xiaobai eats less, he will eat it too. The remaining two dishes are meat and vegetables, fried vegetables and fried pork slices are Xiaobai''s favorites, and Lan Shu will also eat some meat and vegetables. The two of you don¡¯t talk much when eating, try to keep your food quiet so as not to affect your digestion. A piece of braised fish, the taste is not bad, when Lan Shu was halfway through eating, a girl wearing a blue dress and a light-colored woolen coat suddenly stood in front of her and Xiao Bai. She looked up and saw that the girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, her long hair was half tied up, draped behind her waist, she looked very ladylike. Lanshu pay attention, the girl didn''t even look at herself when she came, but she turned her gaze completely on Xiaobai. Lan Shu:? Is it the girl who is attracted by Xiaobai''s beauty? As she was thinking, she heard the girl speak¡ª "I finally found you! Gu Jue, I have already notified Aunt Wei, she will come to Linjiang City soon! Where have you been all this time? Everyone said you were missing, disappeared, maybe already ..." As she spoke, the girl looked pitiful and shed tears. Probably because the girl was crying too loudly, so Xiaobai looked up at her. When Lan Shu heard the girl''s words, it was obvious that she and Xiao Bai had known each other before, and she had already informed Xiao Bai''s family that Xiao Bai was here! Xiaobai is going home soon? Thinking of this, Lan Shu suddenly felt that she couldn''t eat anymore. Although Xiaobai can find his family, she will be happy for Xiaobai, but as long as she thinks that Xiaobai will leave with his family, leave Qingyang County, leave the toilet paper factory, and leave her side... Lan Shu felt a heavy heart. These days, she has gotten used to Xiao Bai''s company. If Xiaobai leaves, she will be left alone in Qingyang County. Thinking of myself riding the ''28 big bars'' to the toilet paper factory alone every day, every time I buy fabrics and sell clothes, I am alone. She rented two rooms at Mrs. Xie''s house, and she will only live in it by herself in the future, and the other room will be returned... Lan Shu took a deep breath, she knew that after Xiao Bai left, she would definitely not get used to it! But since Xiaobai has a family, he should go home... There are so few tickets today~ All kinds of ball tickets~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 46: Testimonials Chapter 46 Testimonials Hello everyone~!

(end of this chapter) Chapter 47: Villain Gu Jue Chapter 47 The Villain Gu Jue Xiao Bai never thought that his peaceful life with Sister Lan would end in Linjiang City. Looking at the strange girl crying because of excitement, Xiao Bai frowned. He doesn''t remember knowing her. Even if he had no previous memories, when this girl appeared in front of his eyes, he didn''t feel familiar at all. So, who is she? Can cry so sad for herself, who is she? "You said my name is Gu Jue?" Xiao Bai asked the crying person. "Yes, you, you don''t remember?" Li Xuan was startled, and then she quickly wiped her tear-stained eyes, looking at Gu Jue with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "You...really don''t remember me?" She asked softly. Even Lan Shu at the side can clearly hear these words, the former Xiaobai and the girl in front of him knew each other, maybe their relationship is still very unusual! Xiao Bai frowned. The words of the strange girl in front of him made him feel restless and resistant. Did I really know her before? Know this kind of woman who looks weak and knows how to cry? Xiao Bai was a little silent. He suddenly felt disgusted with his former self. Seeing that the two were relatively speechless, Lan Shu couldn''t help asking the girl from the side. "You said you have notified Xiaobai''s family? When will they arrive? Where is Xiaobai from?" "Xiaobai?" Li Xuan was startled, followed the voice and looked over, seeing the woman next to Gu Jue, for some reason, she was instinctively hostile. But in the end she answered the questions anyway. "Gu Jue''s home is in the capital. More than two months ago, he didn''t come back after going out. His family members searched everywhere, but they couldn''t find anyone. Then someone spread the news that Gu Jue was missing, and his life and death were uncertain..." As Li Xuan spoke, she couldn''t hold back a few tears before continuing. "Auntie Wei is already on her way here. Linjiang City is a little far from Kyoto, and it will take six or seven hours at the earliest." Hearing what the girl said, Lan Shu thought for a while when she met Xiao Bai for the first time in the county town, the time would be right. So it is possible that Xiaobai is really the Gu Jue that the girl mentioned? Gu Jue, Gu Jue... Xiaobai''s name made Lan Shu feel a little familiar. Has she heard or seen this name before? Suddenly! A flash of light came to her mind¡ª Finally figured out who ''Gu Jue'' is! After coming here for a few months, the life was so comfortable that Lan Shu ignored that this world was the one in a novel she had read. In addition to the male protagonist, female protagonist and her cannon fodder female supporting role, other characters are naturally indispensable. One of the villains who appeared later in the novel is Gu Jue! Gu Jue is the younger brother of the male protagonist Gu Cheng, who disappeared many years ago. Everyone in the Gu family thought he was dead, but he suddenly appeared a few years later, his personality became paranoid and distorted, and he used the power of the family to set up an electronic company to oppose his brother''s company! It''s a pity that the villain can never ''beat'' the male lead, and Gu Jue''s end is that the company goes bankrupt, with huge debts, and is trampled under the male lead forever! So now, Xiaobai is that Gu Jue! The villain who will fight against his brother in the future! ? Learning this, Lan Shu was horrified! She wondered how such a simple, kind, and even cute Xiaobai could become the paranoid villain that appeared later in the novel? At the same time, he thought that the villain Gu Jue also had the experience of disappearing. In this case, it is almost certain that Xiao Bai is Gu Jue! And the reason for his drastic personality change may be because of what he experienced during the years of his disappearance, so he became moody and distorted? Thinking of Xiaobai like that, Lan Shu suddenly couldn''t help feeling a little distressed... No matter what Gu Jue looks like in the novel, since she came to this world now, she will never let Xiao Bai become like that! Lan Shu believes in Xiaobai, if he really wants to confront the male lead, something must have happened that made him do so. If there is such a day in the future, she will definitely stand by Xiaobai''s side¡ª It¡¯s just a business war. Xiaobai is no match for him, let her be her replacement! At this time, Lan Shu''s dazed look was noticed by Xiao Bai beside her. Xiaobai thought that Sister Lan had this dumb reaction because she heard that her family would be here soon, and felt that she might be separated from her. Xiao Bai seriously thought about whether he should go with his family or not. If his family members are strangers to him, he would actually prefer to stay with Sister Lan. So after seeing his family later, Xiaobai hasn''t decided whether to leave or stay. But he can be sure of one thing, even if he leaves, he won''t be gone for long. He will always keep in touch with Sister Lan, and even continue to return to Sister Lan. Sister Lan is not a family member to him, but she is better than a family member. Besides, Li Xuan found that Gu Jue didn''t respond at all after hearing her words, but turned to look at the woman beside him instead. At this time, she began to look at the woman carefully. The woman is very young, maybe not two years older than herself, but she has a calm and stable temperament, which makes Li Xuan unconsciously think that she is very mature and not her age. Finding that Gu Jue seemed to care about that woman, Li Xuan took the initiative to ask, "Hi sister, my name is Li Xuan, what should I call you?" Seeing that she was being asked, Lan Shu looked at the girl, "My name is Lan Shu." "Hello, Sister Lanshu, thank you for taking care of Gu Jue during the time when he lost his memory. Gu Jue''s family will come later, and Aunt Wei and I will thank you very much!" Hearing Li Xuan''s words, Lan Shu frowned unconsciously. It sounds like she took in Xiaobai just for the sake of gaining benefits. Is it good for Xiaobai? Moreover, Li Xuan tied her identity with Xiaobai''s family when she spoke, so she is an outsider instead! Although Li Xuan looks gentle and quiet, for some reason, Lan Shu just doesn''t like this girl very much. Although Xiaobai didn''t hear the meaning in Li Xuan''s words, he also frowned slightly, purely feeling that the other party''s words were not pleasant. The feeling in her words that after the family thanked him, he and Sister Lan would no longer have any relationship, made Xiao Bai instantly dissatisfied with Li Xuan''s words! Is he a commodity? If it is found after being lost, as long as you thank the person who picked up the goods, this matter will be returned to everyone, and it will be settled? Xiaobai immediately looked at Lan Shu, he wanted to know if Sister Lan waited for his family to come and handed herself over instead of herself? ! Thinking that he might be abandoned by Sister Lan, Xiaobai felt sore in his heart and already felt sad. (end of this chapter) Chapter 48: bid farewell? Chapter 48 Farewell? Fortunately, soon, he heard Sister Lan''s serious reply, "Thank you, no need, Xiaobai can find his family, I am happy for him, at least he is no longer helpless, but can know who he is. " Saying that, Lan Shu met Xiaobai''s eyes, "If you encounter any difficulties after you go back, you can come to me at any time, and if you have something that doesn''t go your way, you can also tell me." Lan Shu has already stated that even if Xiao Bai returns home, she will treat Xiao Bai as a friend instead of cutting off this relationship, and there will be no intersection since then. Hearing Sister Lan''s words, Xiao Bai''s face, which was still a little down, suddenly smiled. He couldn''t help raising the corners of his mouth, looked at Sister Lan, and nodded seriously. "I see." He said with a very cute attitude. Lan Shu liked Xiao Bai like this, she couldn''t help grinning, and reached out to pat Xiao Bai on the head. The two sat together like this, and there was a wonderful sense of warmth and comfort around them. This made Li Xuan on the side a little envious, wishing that the person who could get close to Gu Jue was herself. It was originally a lunch for the two to celebrate the exam, but because of Li Xuan''s appearance, the initial cheerful atmosphere was gone. Even so, Xiaobai and Lanshu didn''t let the food on the table go to waste. The two of them completely pretended that Li Xuan didn''t exist, and ate a few more mouthfuls. Wait until the food on the plate is almost gone, then wipes his mouth, and then gets up. Before walking out of Linjiang Hotel, Lan Shu left a message for Li Xuan¡ª¡ª "We''ve been staying in a hostel near the hospital for the past two days. Now that Xiaobai has found his family, he should pack his things before going home." As she spoke, she looked at Xiaobai again, "According to Ms. Li, your family should arrive in Linjiang City at night, so go back and have a rest first." "Okay." Xiaobai never objected to Sister Lan''s decision. Besides, Li Xuan couldn''t believe that Gu Jue listened to a woman so much! Gu Jue was the king of kids in the compound when he was young! Even though he went to the army later, he grew up there and was controlled to a certain extent. But the only one who can really control him is his grandfather, Mr. Wei. But now, Gu Jue is letting a woman go! Gu Jue has only been missing for more than two months, and he hasn''t known this woman for a long time. Li Xuan couldn''t figure it out, how could Gu Jue listen to her? Although she doesn''t understand, she can''t openly stop Gu Jue''s decision now. In the past, Gu Jue didn''t know her. Now, when Gu Jue lost his memory, Li Xuan hoped that she could make a good impression in front of Gu Jue. So Li Xuan nodded towards Lan Shu, "Then sister Lan Shu will help take care of Gu Jue for the time being. After Aunt Wei arrives, I will take her to find you immediately." Li Xuan''s words sounded innocent again, but Lan Shu could still hear that she intentionally disassociated Xiaobai from herself. Lan Shu frowned inaudibly, and then replied without raising her head, "It''s not hard, I actually didn''t take care of Xiaobai very much, usually Xiaobai takes care of me, that''s hard work." After finishing speaking, she ignored Li Xuan''s astonished expression and walked straight out of Linjiang Hotel. Seeing Sister Lan leaving, Xiaobai immediately followed her. Only Li Xuan was left standing in the same place in embarrassment¡ª ¡­ In the guest house, as soon as Lan Shu came back, she went back to her room. She is tired. When I was highly concentrated in the morning to go to the exam, I didn''t feel too tired. But now that she knew that Xiaobai would leave soon, she suddenly felt low and flustered with exhaustion. She lay horizontally on her bed, staring at the ceiling with unfocused eyes. After a while, she finally calmed down a little. At this time, there was a knock on the door¡ª¡ª "Sister Lan, can I come in?" Xiao Bai stood outside the door and asked. This voice caused Lan Shu to finally calm down, and there was a ''problem'' again. ¡®Hoo~¡¯ She sighed a long time, then got up and walked to the door, and opened it for Xiao Bai. "come in." As Lan Shu spoke, she saw Xiao Bai walking in with a bulging black cloth bag. This cloth pocket was made by Mrs. Xie before they came to Jiang City. Made two in total, one for Xiaobai and one for Lanshu, to hold the accompanying things. Yesterday they bought clothes at the mall and filled up the originally empty cloth pockets. Now Xiao Bai is holding all his things. "Is it packed?" Lan Shu asked casually. Lan Shu can understand Xiaobai''s feeling that he is about to meet his family and pack up his things as soon as possible. But she still felt a little lost. Looking up at Xiaobai, she said, "Actually, you don''t need to take all these things with you. Your home is in good condition, and you won''t be short of anything when you get home." "But Sister Lan bought these for me." Xiaobai replied softly, the natural tone made Lanshu laugh and feel sad. "Bring it if you want, if you don''t like it when you go back..." "I like it very much!" Xiao Bai didn''t wait for Lan Shu to finish speaking, so he took up the conversation. "Sister Lan, I will come to you after I see my family and go back to live with them for a few days to reassure them." Xiao Bai never thought of being separated from Lan Shu. Hearing this, Lan Shu was stunned¡ª "Find me?" Xiaobai actually decided to let go of his family and return to her side? Xiaobai can think so, Lan Shu is actually a little relieved, this kid still has a conscience. but¡­ She shook her head. "After you go back, stay at home. Did you come to me to do business with me? Don''t forget, your talent should be placed in the right place, study hard, and achieve something in the future." besides. "There is also the matter of your memory loss. Didn''t my second brother tell you that? In your case, there is a blood clot in your head and you need an operation." "Your family should be able to help you find a top doctor in this area to treat you. Although you are fine now, memory is an indispensable part of everyone. I hope you can restore your memory." After Lan Shu finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she had found a reason why Xiaobai would never come back again, to convince herself. Xiaobai who recovered her memory is a complete Xiaobai, no longer the simple Xiaobai she knew. At that time, to Xiaobai, he will be just a person he has known for a few months in his life of more than ten years. At that time, he should no longer have the idea of ??coming back to find himself and staying by his side. Listening to Sister Lan''s words, Xiaobai thought at first that Sister Lan was right. Business is not something he really likes. He will study hard when he goes back, and he will tell Sister Lan the good news after he finishes his studies. But gradually, when Sister Lan said that she hoped to recover her memory, Xiaobai actually heard the feeling of saying goodbye from Sister Lan''s words... At that moment, he understood what Sister Lan meant. Sister Lan is already saying goodbye to her current self! (end of this chapter) Chapter 49: mother and child meet Chapter 49 Mother and child meet She thought that after she regained her memory, she would no longer be her current self, but a different person! She felt that Xiaobai at that time was no longer Xiaobai, but Gu Jue! I even thought that I might not be obedient to her anymore, listen to her, and would not want to come back¡ª So she still has to abandon herself! Use her opinion to stop their relationship! Xiaobai is a little angry, this is the first time he feels angry since he has known Sister Lan for so long! "I won''t change! Even if I recover my memory, I will always be a novice in front of you!" He said seriously, his tone undeniable. Lan Shu was startled, she didn''t expect Xiao Bai''s reaction to be so big. Regarding Xiaobai''s words, she believes that Xiaobai is serious now. But in the future, who can say for sure? It''s not that she doesn''t believe in Xiaobai, but that she doesn''t believe in the ever-changing human nature. If Xiaobai is still Xiaobai even if he recovers his memory, that is of course the best result. Lan Shu nodded, "Okay, as long as you still treat me as a friend, we will always be the same as before." Although Xiaobai still feels dissatisfied with this answer, at least Sister Lan doesn''t have the idea of ??saying goodbye to her. His originally dignified face finally relaxed. "Let''s put it this way, even if I didn''t come back for a while after I left, it''s because I went to school and saw a doctor, and it''s not that I don''t want to come back." He said. we have a deal? Just for this matter, is it worth making a special agreement? Such an agreement seems naive no matter how you look at it, but this is Xiaobai, his most innocent appearance. "Okay." Lan Shu nodded again. ¡­ At around six o''clock in the evening, Wei Qiushuang, who had not yet fully recovered from his illness, took a tired car all the way to Linjiang City. She called the phone number left by the girl named Li Xuan, met her, and then went to the guest house near Linjiang City Hospital together. In the guest house, Lan Shu heard a knock on the door next door, and immediately opened the door to look out. In front of Xiaobai''s room, a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a gray sportswear and hastily put on a light brown coat, with a pale complexion, was waiting for the people in the room with hopeful eyes. walk out. The woman was accompanied by a young girl, it was Li Xuan. So, after receiving Xiaobai''s family, Li Xuan came to the guest house without even saying hello, and directly bypassed herself? Although Lan Shu is not the kind of person who cares, Li Xuan''s actions really make her feel rude. The people Xiaobai knew before he lost his memory, is that all? At this time, with a sound of ¡®Ö¨¿Þ~¡¯, the door of Xiaobai¡¯s room next door opened from the inside. The moment Wei Qiushuang opened the door, Wei Qiushuang saw her son appearing in front of her eyes. Even though her son looked at her blankly, she still couldn''t help but rush forward with her first reaction, and hugged him tightly! Recovering his son, Wei Qiushuang has no peace of mind for a day, and finally let go¡ª Even before this, she had already learned from Li Xuan that her son might have amnesia, but it didn''t matter, as long as her son came back safely, she would be satisfied. Across the way, when Xiao Bai was hugged by a strange woman outside the door, he didn''t intend to push her away. Instead, he felt a sense of intimacy in her. This is my family? Unexpectedly, Xiaobai felt very at ease, and there was no such embarrassing scene that he had expected in advance. But soon, because of Wei Qiushuang''s tears of joy, he became at a loss and panicked¡ª At this time, Xiaobai saw Sister Lan beside her! Lan Shu could see the look in Xiaobai''s face asking for help. She can understand the feeling of being overwhelmed when seeing a loved one crying in front of her. So even if she speaks now, it may break the atmosphere of family reunion, but she still chooses to ''save'' Xiaobai. "May I ask who are you Xiaobai?" Lan Shu asked. The sudden voice made Wei Qiushuang loosen her son''s hand. She turned her head subconsciously, and saw the strange young girl in front of the door next door to her son''s room. She can see that the other person is talking to her. Can¡­ "Who are you? Who is Xiaobai?" Wei Qiushuang frowned slightly, puzzled. When ?? came, Li Xuan didn''t tell Wei Qiushuang about Lan Shu, so Wei Qiushuang didn''t know about her son being taken in. At this time, Lan Shu was asked, she immediately glanced sideways at Li Xuan who was next to her. Seeing the unnatural expression on Li Xuan''s face, Lan Shu already understood what was going on. "Xiaobai, you can explain yourself." Looking at Xiaobai, Lan Shu said softly. There are some things that she is not easy to say, especially the fact that the Lan family took in Xiaobai. From her mouth of the Lan family, it may make people think that she is threatening to repay her kindness. So, the best way is for Xiaobai to say it himself. After being called by Sister Lan, Xiaobai immediately explained. "I am Xiaobai, and her name is Lan Shu, the daughter of the family that took me in after I lost my memory." "Help?" Wei Qiushuang realized something. After her son disappeared, it is unknown how she lost her memory. But when her son lost his memory and didn''t even know who he was, he didn''t live on the street, and now he can still wear clean clothes and have a place to live, so he must have met a kind person! Thinking of this, Wei Qiushuang felt grateful to the girl named Lan Shu in front of her. She let go of her son, wiped away her tears, turned around and looked at Lan Shu seriously, and bowed deeply towards Lan Shu. "Thank you and your family for taking in and taking care of my son Gu Jue during his most difficult time." Wei Qiushuang''s actions made Lan Shu startled¡ª The other party didn''t rely on his status as unusual, nor did he put on airs because he was an elder. Such a sincere thank you made Lan Shu''s impression of Wei Qiushuang instantly increased! She turned sideways so as not to receive Xiaobai''s mother''s bow. Open your mouth casually. "Meeting is also fate, Xiaobai... Gu Jue stayed at our house and helped us a lot." After Wei Qiushuang heard what the girl said, she straightened up and looked up to meet Lan Shu''s calm eyes. Wei Qiushuang was able to feel the sincerity of the girl and her family towards her son through the girl. "Thank you." Wei Qiushuang did not bow this time, but sincerely thanked Lan Shu alone. From the son''s stay in the guest house, it can be seen that they came to Linjiang City on a temporary basis. If the girl hadn''t brought her son with her, she might not be able to see her son until now. Besides, Li Xuan looked at the harmonious communication between Mrs. Wei and Lan Shu, and suddenly felt a little envious. If I could be the one who met Gu Jue and took him in, that would be great... It''s a pity that there is no if, Gu Jue''s benefactor is not himself¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 50: new idea Chapter 50 New Ideas Wei Qiushuang reunited with his son, so it is natural that he should care about his son''s current situation. It so happened that at this time, Lan Xiuming, who was off work from Linjiang City Hospital, came to the guest house to see his sister. My younger sister and Xiaobai didn''t come to see me at noon, so Lan Xiuming had to eat in the cafeteria alone. In the evening, Lan Xiuming planned to take the two of them out for a good meal! But when he came, he happened to encounter the scene where Xiaobai''s mother and son recognized each other. Lan Xiuming walked up to his little sister, and was about to ask what was going on, when he heard Xiaobai introduce to Wei Qiushuang. "This is the second brother of the Lan family, Lan Xiuming, who works in Linjiang City Hospital." Wei Qiushuang just heard that the cause of his son''s memory loss may be because of a blood clot in his head, so he saw the doctor who diagnosed his son. With Lan Xiuming around, Lan Shu immediately withdrew from the conversation with Xiaobai''s mother. Knowing from Dr. Lan that his son may still recover his memory, Wei Qiushuang immediately inquired about the situation in detail, and then decided to take his son back to Kyoto as soon as possible to find a famous doctor for treatment. Lanshu, she has already told Xiaobai what she should say. Now that Wei Qiushuang is going to take her away, Xiaobai also agrees to go with her. However, it was already late today. The driver had been driving for several hours in the afternoon, and was already exhausted, unable to continue driving at night. So Wei Qiushuang decided to stay in the guest house overnight and leave tomorrow. In the evening, Lan Xiuming, who was planning to bring his younger sister and Xiaobai to dinner, naturally accepted that there were three more people at the table. In addition to Xiaobai''s mother, Wei Qiushuang, there is also the driver of Wei''s family, and Li Xuan. Li Xuan, who was supposed to leave Linjiang City with her mother today, deliberately stayed here in order to have more contact with Gu Jue. It is impossible for Li Xuan''s mother to leave her daughter alone if she is doing other things! But after Li Xuan mentioned Mrs. Wei, she agreed. It would be great if their family could have friendship with Mrs. Wei. It would be even better if the daughter could get closer to Mrs. Wei''s biological son! ¡­ Early the next morning, Xiaobai and Wei Qiushuang left Linjiang City together. Accompanying them was Li Xuan. Li Xuan''s reasons are very good. She was going back to the capital, and her family also lives in the Z district compound, traveling with Gu Jue''s mother and son. If she hadn''t been leading Wei Qiushuang yesterday, she would have gone back a long time ago, so Wei Qiushuang nodded and agreed to her request to go along the way. Before Wei Qiushuang left, he did not forget to thank the Lan family. She specially prepared 5,000 yuan as a thank-you gift to show her heart. Lan Shu didn''t want the money, even if Xiao Bai persuaded her to accept it, Lan Shu didn''t want it either. No one dislikes things like money. But Lan Shu didn''t want to make herself feel uncomfortable just because of the money. She always felt that after taking the money, the pure friendship between her and Xiao Bai was mixed with interests. Seeing Lan Shu''s resolute attitude, Wei Qiushuang didn''t force it either. She and Lan Shu said, "You are free in the future, welcome to Kyoto." Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Okay." Li Xuan on the side saw this scene, she was so envious that she was even a little jealous. With Mrs. Wei''s words, it means that Mrs. Wei agrees with the friendship between Gu Jue and Lan Shu. It is conceivable that in the future, Gu Jue and Lan Shu will not lose contact just because they are separated! As far as Li Xuan knew, Gu Jue had never had a female friend by his side. This Lan Shu, she is the first! ¡­ Linjiang City, in the guest house near the hospital. After seeing off Xiaobai and his mother, it''s time for Lan Shu to return to Qingyang County. In the room, when I was at the mall the day before yesterday, Lan Shu bought a lot of things, and she and Xiao Bai returned with a full load¡ª Today, she needs to bring things back alone, so she will inevitably be burdened. When she came to Jiang City, the cloth bag she was carrying was full at the moment. In addition, her second brother specially brought a large black and gray bag that she doesn''t usually use very much, and asked her to put all the remaining things in it. The siblings had breakfast outside on the street, and Lan Xiuming sent Lan Shu to the station. Watching the little girl get into the car, he waved his hand and left. ¡­ More than two hours later, Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County. At the beginning, she and Xiaobai went out together, but now when she came back, she was left alone. Carrying two heavy cloth bags in her hands, Lan Shu sighed deeply! She told herself that there was only a short separation between her and Xiao Bai, and they would meet again in the future. And now, she has one more important thing to do¡ª In the past, whether Lan Shu contracted the back mountain in the village with her brothers, or partnered with a toilet paper factory to make sanitary napkins, it was all out of the reason of helping herself get rid of poverty and becoming rich, and for her own convenience. Now, knowing that Xiaobai may turn against the male lead of this world in the future, Lan Shu must make herself stronger! Let yourself have the capital to cope with all changes¡ª The route of the male lead, Gu Cheng, is to start a company, do business, make money, and be the boss. If she wants to have enough ability to protect Xiaobai, then she must be richer than the hero! So from now on, she will struggle on the road of making money! ¡­ Qingyang County, Changheng Street, Xie Xiaoju''s shop. After being busy for a few days, Xie Xiaoju finally made another batch of clothes for Sister Lanshu. In the last month, this is already the fifth batch of clothes she has made! Sitting in front of the sewing machine and working almost every day, Xie Xiaoju is very happy although she is tired. Because in the past month, she has received more than 100 yuan just for wages! Before changing her job, Xie Xiaoju never dared to imagine that she could make so much money! Her man drives a truck for long distances, stays away from home every day, and earns only seventy or eighty yuan a month. And now I earn more than men! Xie Xiaoju felt that if she continued to work like this, it would be absolutely fine to save a sum of money for her son to go to college! But at this time, Lan Shu''s sister suddenly came to the store and asked her¡ª "Sister-in-law Xie, are you willing to partner with me to open a garment factory?" In addition to the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu also wants to open a clothing factory. Different from the toilet paper factory, she only holds 30% of the shares. The garment factory she wants to open has shares, so she must hold the majority! Xie Xiaoju was stunned when she heard Lan Shu''s words! After a long delay, she asked, "What can I...can do?" She is a clothes maker, what kind of factory can she open? If Sister Lan Shu wants to open a garment factory, then she will work for Sister Lan Shu! Anyway, she could tell that Sister Lan Shu is a capable person. During this period of time, since the clothes that Sister Lan Shu asked her to make could sell, if she opened a factory in the future, the clothes she made would definitely sell as well! Lan Shu has already thought about what sister-in-law Xie can do. "Because of the limited start-up capital, it is impossible to open a large factory. We can only develop slowly. I will first buy a few sewing machines and put them in the two rooms that are vacant in your house. In the future, we will hire people to make clothes. Thank you, sister-in-law. Responsible for patterning and cutting." "Besides, the small shop you are renting, Mrs. Xie, can be turned into a clothing store, and the clothes we make will be sold in the store in the future." (end of this chapter) Chapter 51: sell like hot cakes Chapter 51 Best Sellers In the past month, Lan Shu has earned more than a thousand yuan from selling clothes. The price of one sewing machine is about 180 yuan, so I will buy four first, plus Mrs. Xie, five sewing machines are enough for the time being. In addition to saving a part of the remaining money to buy clothing fabrics, the rest is to renovate Mrs. Xie¡¯s small shop. The shop that sells clothes must be clean and tidy, and the walls in the shop need to be repainted. For the rest, make a few simple hanging hangers, and it''s almost the same. Xie Xiaoju listened to Lan Shu''s idea, she thought it was good, but she only cut clothes and didn''t make clothes, so how to calculate her wages? For this problem, Lan Shu also immediately gave a solution. One is that she cooperates with Xie¡¯s sister-in-law, using the two vacant rooms in Xie Xiaoju¡¯s house and the shop on the street, plus Xie Xiaoju to make clothes and cut them, and lead other sewing workers to work. In addition to the fixed salary of 60 yuan per month that Xie Xiaoju received, Lan Shu also gave her 10% of the shares in the garment factory. Another solution is that Lan Shu pays all the expenses by herself, including Xie''s house, the rent of the shops on the street, and she will also give Xie Xiaoju some transfer fees for the shops. Xie Xiaoju usually works in the factory. Lan Shu not only pays her a fixed salary, Xie Xiaoju manages and supervises the sewing workers below to work. Every time a piece of clothing is produced, she can draw a certain amount of labor fee from it. That is to say, as a supervisor, the more clothes her workers make, the higher her promotion will be! Lan Shu did some calculations, so Xie Xiaoju would be able to get about seventy or eighty yuan a month in the future. As the garment factory grows bigger and bigger, her commission will also increase! Hearing these two options, Xie Xiaoju hardly hesitated, and immediately chose the second one. In her opinion, the shares are not important, the money is real! Seeing that Sister-in-law Xie was not interested in the shares, Lan Shu didn''t hesitate, and immediately signed an agreement with Sister-in-law Xie, and then took out all her own money. She gave Xie Xiaoju 800 yuan, and the purchase of the sewing machine should be left to the knowledgeable. If there is any remaining money, it will be used as the rent of the store and the rent of Xie''s family, and it will be slowly withheld in Xie Xiaoju''s hands. Lan Shu gave Xie Xiaoju 20 yuan for the store transfer fee. Although the money is not much, there is no such thing as a transfer fee in this era. Xie Xiaoju feels that she is simply picking up money for nothing! For the decoration of the store, Lan Shu also quickly found workers, capable of both wall painting and carpentry. After finishing these things, Lan Shu didn''t immediately go to buy fabrics for clothes. The clothes she drew before have been sold for a month, so they are not new. Although there will still be customers, there will not be too many. Next, she needs to draw a few more drawings of new styles of clothes to enrich the types of clothes that will be sold in the store in the future, so as to make the store unique and sell more clothes! In the afternoon, Xie Xiaoju bought the sewing machine back. Originally, there were 180 sewing machines, but Xie Xiaoju was stunned to pay back the open price of the sewing machine for five yuan less. The four sewing machines with a normal price of 720 yuan were bought by Xie Xiaoju at the last 700 yuan. If the remaining 100 yuan is used as rent for Xie¡¯s family and the shop, it will be enough for half a year. Now that we have sewing machines, we need to recruit sewing workers. Regarding this matter, Xie Xiaoju is completely alone! She used to work in a garment factory. Later, the garment factory was not profitable and some temporary workers lost their jobs. Now it is very easy for her to find a few people to work. So when Lan Shu considered the style of the clothes and drew the blueprints, she set up this small clothing workshop at Sister-in-law Xie''s house, which can''t be called a clothing factory. She immediately purchased the fabrics and officially started work! ¡­ At the paper mill, the sanitary napkins that the factory sent female workers to give out for free in various streets a few days ago finally played a role after going through a certain cycle! The stock of sanitary napkins put together with toilet paper in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the factory was not cared about at the beginning. Until two or three days ago, various supply and marketing cooperatives in Qingyang County called Factory Director Zhu''s office to inform the factory to deliver the goods! When the sanitary napkins were manufactured, Lan Shu specially named the sanitary napkins produced by their paper mill¡ª"Yunrou". Now, in just a few days, the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin has become famous throughout Qingyang County! At this time, an article with the theme of caring for women and caring for women''s health appeared in the city newspaper of Linjiang City. The article introduced a kind of thing that can let women spend easily during menstruation¡ªsanitary napkins. This advertisement soft article was written by Lan Shu herself. It has been half a month since she wrote it, and she is just waiting for the right opportunity to release it. It happened that Zhang Yunjing, one of the partners of their toilet paper factory, worked in the Women''s Federation, and the Women''s Federation would publish some articles about women in the city newspaper every month. This time, Lan Shu''s soft article cleverly linked their products with women''s reports, so they had the opportunity to report. At this time, Director Zhu seized the opportunity and immediately spread the sanitary napkins produced in the factory to Linjiang City and surrounding counties¡ª It was also at this time that Director Zhu understood the reason why the little girl Lan Shu kept the factory working day and night, producing sanitary napkins and hoarding a large amount of goods. The workshop of their toilet paper factory is not big, and there is only one machine for producing sanitary napkins. Once the products sell well, the supply will easily exceed the demand! If it wasn''t for Lan Shu''s foresight, the sanitary napkins produced in their factory would have been sold out long ago! Just like that, the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin quickly gained a foothold in Linjiang City! And through the operation of the Linjiang City Supply and Marketing Cooperative Headquarters, these sanitary napkins will appear in other cities one after another¡ª ¡­ Lan Shu was temporarily busy with the clothing workshop, so she was free to visit the paper factory. Seeing that the sanitary napkins that were pushed like a mountain not long ago have been mostly empty! The first thing Lan Shu did was to go to the office of director Zhu and ask, "How much money does our factory have now?" Factory Manager Zhu had nothing to hide from Lan Shu, the shareholder in the factory, and immediately reported the number. "Why only six thousand?" Lan Shu was puzzled, it was far lower than her expectation. Until she heard Director Zhu add another sentence¡ª¡ª "There are still a few cities around Linjiang City whose accounts have not been settled. After the settlement is completed, it should be able to reach 10,000." Ten thousand... "Not enough." Lan Shu shook her head. Director Zhu didn''t quite understand what Lan Shu was thinking, but he knew that the little girl''s thoughts could always surprise people, so he immediately asked. "You need a lot of money?" "I don''t need it, but our factory needs it. If the factory has money, the second machine for producing sanitary napkins must be bought quickly!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 52: Staff meeting Chapter 52 Staff Meeting "I still want to buy a machine?!" Director Zhu was shocked when he heard Lan Shu''s words! They raised funds to raise money, and the machine they bought for 16,000 has only been used for a month, and they are going to buy a second one? Where do they have so much money~! Director Zhu sighed. "Just make money slowly like this now, and buy it after you have accumulated a certain amount." This is his plan. Director Zhu¡¯s thinking is safe, but Lan Shu feels that sometimes he is too steady and it is easy to miss the best business opportunities. "Director Zhu, how many women are there in the country, and how much do they need for sanitary napkins? Has anyone calculated these data?" "If we don''t occupy the domestic sanitary napkin market as quickly as possible, then within a few months, other factories of the same type will switch to sanitary napkins, and then it will be two or even multiple parties competing for market share. " Lan Shu''s previous thought was just to get rich and be safe. But now, since she has the goal of making more money than the male protagonist, she will let the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin occupy a pivotal position in the sanitary napkin market! Upon hearing this, Director Zhu suddenly understood the reason why Miss Lanshu proposed to buy a second sanitary napkin production machine. He was shocked. At such a young age, Lan Shu''s thinking was so far ahead of his own! Factory Director Zhu suddenly felt that the little girl Lanshu was actually more suitable for the position of factory director. With her strategy and vision, she can lead the factory to glory in the future better than herself! ¡ª Although Director Zhu agrees with Lan Shu''s idea, there is a big problem now. "Even if our factory has 10,000 yuan of funds, in addition to paying wages to the workers, the money also needs to buy raw materials for the next stage of sanitary napkin production. In fact, the cash flow that can be used may only be 3,000 yuan. not." The money is far from enough for a 16,000 machine! So even if Director Zhu wanted to follow Miss Lanshu''s ideas, the factory didn''t have that kind of money. Regarding this situation, Lan Shu pondered for a moment, and then came up with an idea. "Director Zhu, if this is the case, then we may need a round of financing." "Financing?" Director Zhu didn''t quite understand what Lan Shu said. But soon, Lan Shu gave him an explanation. "The current money in our factory is not enough for the rapid development of the factory, but we need to develop rapidly in a short period of time. In this case, a large amount of external capital injection is needed. If someone can come up with this large sum of money, it will be financing from the factory. .¡± "Correspondingly, the factory needs to give the corresponding shares to the other party according to the current property valuation in the factory, and the original shares in our hands will be diluted in proportion." "Although it seems that we hold fewer shares, if the factory expands its scale, increases its production capacity, and improves its efficiency, then we will only earn more money, and the dividends we will receive in the end will be more than what we are getting now through slow development. !" After hearing this, Director Zhu understood. He feels that financing is indeed a good way to develop rapidly. only¡­ "Will someone be willing to raise money and invest money in our factory?" Factory Manager Zhu understands a little bit that this financing is not a small matter like they raised funds before. The amount that investors have to put up is definitely more than what Zhang Yunjing put up at that time! Lan Shu also has something to say about this. "In the past, it was not easy for us to raise funds because the sanitary napkins in the factory hadn''t been made yet, but now, who in Qingyang County doesn''t know about our Yunrou sanitary napkins?" "Even in Linjiang City, it won''t be long before many people will use the products in our factory." "Yunrou sanitary napkins are now the signature of our factory. Everyone knows that this is a way to make money, so financing should not be too difficult." Although Lan Shu said so, she was still a little worried. After all, in this era, there are not many people who have the courage to invest tens of thousands of dollars. Qingyang County is just a small county, and there are not many rich people, even fewer people who dare to have vision like Zhang Yunjing. So this matter can only be watched now, trying to attract investment. Factory Manager Zhu is also worried about this, but if the factory can get investment, that is naturally the best. He chatted with Lan Shu about the details of the financing, and then immediately called the employees in the factory to hold a staff meeting to talk about the financing. And see if you know anyone who can take out the money. Lan Shu also participated in this meeting. As the major shareholder of the factory, she still has a great say. Regarding her idea of ??letting the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin occupy a position in the domestic market, although many people in the factory think this idea is too unrealistic! But if it can be done, it will definitely be good for those who have more or less one or half of the shares in their hands. And they believed in the words of Director Zhu even more. Factory Director Zhu said that financing will benefit the development of the factory and allow everyone to earn more money in the future. With these words, the financing plan at the staff meeting was almost unanimously approved! But it is difficult for them to find rich people who can invest in factories. Everyone came from the county or even the surrounding villages, so where would they know any rich people? If it''s a few hundred dollars, they can still find someone. But the factory needs tens of thousands! If they have relatives who can spend tens of thousands of dollars, who is still working in the factory~! So the plan was passed, but the money was not. Soon, Zhang Yunjing also learned about the need for financing in the factory by phone. Zhang Yunjing does know a few rich people. But after she called and asked around, no one was interested in investing in a toilet paper factory. Just like what Lan Shu was worried about, there are really too few people who have the courage to spend tens of thousands of dollars now! While Lan Shu was anxious about money, Xiao Liu, the secretary of Factory Manager Zhu, came to her and said that someone had called her. Lan Shu didn''t know many people in this era. Apart from her family, she couldn''t think of anyone else who would call her. But the family didn¡¯t know the phone number of the factory, so who would be looking for her? When she answered the phone in Director Zhu''s office, a familiar voice came from the phone, "Sister Lan, it''s me." Lan Shu was slightly taken aback¡ª "Xiaobai? Why do you have a phone number from the paper mill?" "Before I worked in a toilet paper factory for a month, I memorized the number by the way." Xiaobai said with a cheerful tone. "Sister Lan, I''m already home. Although I don''t remember my family, they are all very kind to me." Xiaobai said this just to repay her safety and let Lanshu feel at ease. "I''ve already told my family that next year I''m going to take the medical school entrance exam and study medicine, and my family has already agreed." Xiaobai''s words did not tell the truth. When he came up with the idea, his parents were visibly surprised and less than happy with his decision. And tell him what is the best way for him. (end of this chapter) Chapter 53: so rich? Chapter 53 Is he so rich? In addition to parents, other relatives have come to the family these days. An old man who was said to be his grandfather wanted him to return to the army and go to the military academy next year. Xiaobai refused without hesitation. Sister Lan said that the future path should be chosen by oneself. He has to choose what he likes in order to have the passion to go on this road. Regarding his decision, the only one in his family who supports him is his elder brother¡ªGu Cheng. Gu Cheng told him that if he wanted to go to medical school, he should go. Although Gu Cheng¡¯s words sounded well-intentioned no matter how they sounded, Xiaobai remembered that when he was in Qingyang County, in the memory that appeared several times by chance, his brother persuaded him to go into business and told him that studying was useless. Compared to what Sister Lan said, ¡®Learning is self-improvement¡¯. He doubted Gu Cheng''s words. He even wondered if Gu Cheng was doing it for his own good? Is Gu Cheng''s support for him now really out of kindness? These noobs can¡¯t tell the difference for the time being, but no matter what purpose Gu Cheng has, it will not affect his idea of ??taking the road of medicine. On the phone, when Lan Shu heard Xiaobai say that his family respected his choice and supported him to continue to study, she was really happy for Xiaobai. Suddenly, Xiaobai''s voice changed. "Sister Lan, how have you been these two days?" In fact, Xiaobai wants to ask more, is she still used to not being by her side? Anyway, Xiaobai is not used to it. Even on the way to Kyoto the day before yesterday, he couldn''t help but miss the days when he and Sister Lan were in the county. When Lan Shu was asked, she had nothing to hide from Xiao Bai. She said that she wanted to open a garment factory, but for the time being, the garment factory can only be opened to the level of a small workshop. After that, the toilet paper factory needs to expand its scale, and now it is seeking investment. This matter is not going very smoothly. Knowing that Sister Lan needed money, Xiao Bai immediately asked, "How much money does the toilet paper factory need?" "At least 20,000 or more. It would be better if the investment can be more. At that time, the factory will buy two more machines and let the three machines work together to ensure that the output of sanitary napkins can keep up temporarily." Lan Shu said temporarily because she clearly knew that the quantity of sanitary napkins produced by the three sanitary napkin production machines would not be able to supply the consumption of women across the country. Their factory needs to expand in the future, but two or three machines are enough. Hearing what Sister Lan said, Xiaobai immediately said, "Sister Lan, I will invest." "Is 50,000 enough for the toilet paper factory? In addition, I want to invest another 10,000 for your garment factory." Lan Shu was startled¡ª ? Xiaobai... so rich? He has only been home for two days, and he can take out 60,000 yuan casually? Sensing the silence on Sister Lan''s side on the phone, Xiaobai immediately explained. "Sister Lan, don''t worry, all I want to invest is the money in my own passbook." "It is said that it is my New Year''s money since I was a child. I didn''t spend a penny before, and saved it all." Lan Shu: ¡­ She has learned that most of the children''s New Year''s money in the village is fifty cents or one yuan. Xiaobai can save tens of thousands of New Year''s money, which is really enviable! Such a comparison is really the starting point of some people''s birth, even if some people work hard for a lifetime, they may not be able to achieve it... Although the new year''s money belongs to Xiaobai, Lan Shu is thinking about a question. He saved the money before he lost his memory. Can he use it casually now? Lan Shu felt that this was not good. "Why don''t you ask your family first, investment is risky after all, if they don''t agree..." "No need, Gu Jue''s decision is our decision." Suddenly, an intellectual and gentle female voice came from the phone¡ª Lan Shu immediately recognized that the speaker was Xiaobai''s mother, Mrs. Wei. When Xiaobai was on the phone with her, Mrs. Wei was actually listening? ! Actually, Lan Shu really misunderstood. Gu''s phone was installed in the living room on the first floor. Wei Qiushuang heard her son talking on the phone downstairs, so she couldn''t help but come down to have a look. In the past two days, although Gu Jue has returned home, he is unfamiliar with everything at home. Wei Qiushuang can feel that his son is very reserved at home, so most of the time he doesn''t talk much, and he rarely leaves the room. The state of his son made Wei Qiushuang very distressed. So seeing her son happily chatting with others, she took the initiative to say a lot of things that did not match the reality, just to reassure the other party, Wei Qiushuang clearly knew how important the person on the phone was to her son! is an existence that her son cherishes very much! After Wei Qiushuang went downstairs, she quickly recognized who the owner of the voice on the phone was. So after hearing that Gu Jue would take out all the money in his passbook to solve the other party''s difficulties without hesitation, Wei Qiushuang agreed! Although she doesn''t know what her son is going to invest in, even if the investment fails and all the money is lost, she doesn''t care. She purely wants to make her son happy and do what he wants to do. With Mrs. Wei''s words, Lan Shu on the other side of the phone immediately said to Xiao Bai after a brief moment of shock. "About the investment, I want to talk to Mrs. Wei in detail." Lan Shu understands that Mrs. Wei will agree because of Xiao Bai''s face. But she couldn''t take this extreme indulgence with deep maternal love for granted! The investment of tens of thousands of dollars is not a trivial matter, and she hopes that this investment is based on the other party''s trust in their toilet paper factory. It''s not because of the deep affection for Xiaobai, willing to give without a bottom line. Hearing the request from the girl who had a close relationship with her son on the phone, Wei Qiushuang was naturally willing to listen. Even if she is not interested in business, but for the sake of her son, she will listen to it. Wei Qiushuang took the phone from his son, put it next to his ear, and said softly, "Please speak." Although the voice was soft, it carried an invisible majesty. Lan Shu, who was in Director Zhu''s office, couldn''t help but straighten her back, and then said seriously. "Hi, Mrs. Wei, I''m Lan Shu. Now, as a shareholder of Qingyang County Tissue Paper Factory, I would like to introduce to you the situation of our Tissue Paper Factory..." Lan Shu succinctly explained the situation of the sanitary napkins produced in the factory, and then explained the reason why the factory needs to expand its scale and increase production, and then mentioned external financing. She also introduced the development and prospects of sanitary napkins. Wei Qiushuang''s original impression of Lan Shu was that although she was born in the countryside, she didn''t have the small family spirit of a villager at all. She had pretty features, a decent appearance, a good personality, or at least a kind-hearted girl. But now, hear about Lan Shu''s identity, what she is doing now, her plans for the future, her long-term vision, and even her "ambition" in business! Wei Qiushuang really had a huge impression of this girl! (end of this chapter) Chapter 54: Li Xuans thoughts Chapter 54 Li Xuan''s thoughts Originally, Wei Qiushuang did not stop the investment just because of his son. But now, she does not deny that she was persuaded by the girl. Such a factory with excellent future prospects, she, who has never been involved in business, is willing to invest in¡ª "I see. I agree with Gu Jue''s investment. In addition, if you need help in the business field, you can come to me at any time." Wei Qiushuang has never returned the Lan family''s favor for taking her son in. This time, Gu Jue''s investment is his own decision and has nothing to do with him. In the future, if possible, she hopes that she can help the people of the Lan family to do something. Over the phone, Lan Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Mrs. Wei''s words~! Xiaobai''s original well-intentioned investment, this time it has passed the ''Ming Road'' and has been approved. The phone was quickly returned to Xiao Bai. He was too absorbed in the conversation just now, and he didn''t notice his family members coming downstairs. The content of his chat with Sister Lan was overheard by his family members, and now Xiaobai spoke with a little apology in his tone. Lan Shu didn''t think Mrs. Wei was bad for listening to the phone. It is a good thing to solve the investment problem of tens of thousands of dollars so quickly~ "By the way, Xiaobai, the investment in the toilet paper factory will be the main one for the factory, but the investment in my small clothing workshop should be ignored. This is also the first time for me to do business by myself, so I should take my time and accumulate experience from it." Bar." What Lan Shu said was indeed her thoughts. It is impossible for her to find someone to invest in everything she does. Only by going up step by step by herself can she be steady on the future business path and not panic when things happen. Seeing Sister Lan''s refusal, Xiao Bai didn''t force her. "Okay." He replied. But even if he agreed, Xiaobai also thought in his heart that when Sister Lan needed money in other places in the future, he would send the money there by himself. Lanshu and Xiaobai chatted a few more words before ending the call. At the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu immediately told Director Zhu that he had found an investor. On the other side, Wei Qiushuang clearly felt that his son seemed to relax a lot after the phone call, not as ''tense'' as before. This made Wei Qiushuang decide to invite Lan Shu to come to Kyoto for a few days if she is free after finishing her work. Gu Jue will be very happy then, right? At this moment, a voice came from outside the courtyard gate of the two-story Gu family building¡ª¡ª "Excuse me, is Mrs. Wei at home? I want to see Gu Jue." It is Li Xuan. The girl who met Gu Jue in Linjiang City before, recognized Gu Jue, and told Wei Qiushuang the news about Gu Jue¡ª For Li Xuan, no matter what purpose the other party has, Wei Qiushuang is grateful to her. Without her, the son would not be able to go home so soon. So Wei Qiushuang walked towards the gate of the yard and opened it for Li Xuan. "Hello, Mrs. Wei, how is Gu Jue doing today? Can I go and see him?" Li Xuan was wearing a light purple dress and a white woolen coat. She smiled softly and looked extraordinarily ladylike. Wei Qiushuang just glanced at her, then looked away. She said flatly, "Of course, Miss Li, please come in." Then he turned around and went back to the small building first. Leaving Li Xuan behind to enter the door, she had to close the door behind her. Li Xuan could feel that Mrs. Wei did not treat her differently because of her help to the Gu family. Even on the second day after returning to Kyoto, the Gu family sent someone to send a big gift to their home, saying that it was thanks to her for helping the Gu family find someone. The gift had already been delivered, and it was hard not to accept it. After Li Xuan received it, she immediately came to the door to thank her. Although the Gu family warmly entertained her, that''s all. After that, she came to Gu''s house to look after Gu Jue every day on the grounds that the two families lived in the same family compound. Although the Gu family will receive her and Mrs. Wei is very approachable, Li Xuan still feels alienated from her. Li Xuan knew that it would be impossible for her to win Mrs. Wei''s favor by helping the Gu family and the Wei family find Hui Huijue. But she hopes to use time to slowly let Mrs. Wei get acquainted with herself¡ª "Gu Jue, Miss Li is here to see you." Wei Qiushuang entered the door and shouted to her son who was sitting on the sofa. It was Xiao Bai who frowned impatiently in response to her. "I suddenly felt unwell, so I went upstairs first." As he said that, he had already got up and walked upstairs quickly, where did he look uncomfortable? Wei Qiushuang knew that his son didn''t like to get along with that Li Xuan, so he didn''t force it, and let his son avoid it with excuses. And she didn''t feel anything about Li Xuan except for helping her find her son. Wei Qiushuang has been in politics for many years, and she is used to seeing people and things. She is not the kind who can catch anyone''s eyes. Especially what these younger generations are thinking, she can see clearly. That Li Xuan has thoughts about her son. In other words, she has thoughts about the Wei family from which she was born. Just for this reason, she couldn''t like Li Xuan anymore. On the contrary, the Lan Shu I met in Linjiang City earlier was very nice. Don''t mention how capable Lan Shu is. Just a little, her son and Lan Shu get along happily, that''s enough~! Because Xiaobai went upstairs, Li Xuan didn''t have the nerve to stay at Gu''s house for too long. But even so, the daughter of the Li family, who was as old as the youngest son of the Gu family, went to the Gu family again, and this news could not be hidden in the compound. In the past two days, some people have even spread rumors that this time the Li family can be regarded as having a relationship with the Gu family and the Wei family behind the Gu family. Because the Li family has a good daughter, the relationship with the Gu family is expected to go further in the future... ¡­ Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. The good news brought by Lan Shu made Director Zhu very happy! Zhang Yunjing also got the news over the phone minutes later. Different from Director Zhu who only cares about investment, Zhang Yunjing asked Lan Shu a few more questions about the identity of the person who invested 50,000 yuan in their toilet paper factory. Lan Shu then summed up Xiaobai''s finding of his family in a few words on the phone, and told Zhang Yunjing. "So, in the future, the largest shareholder in our factory is actually Xiaobai?!" Zhang Yunjing was amazed and felt that the world was impermanent. Who would have thought that the apprentice who was still learning how to use the machine in their factory a month ago would undergo an earth-shaking change in his identity after a month! From a temporary worker in the factory to the largest shareholder in the factory! Based on the relationship between Xiaobai and Sister Lanshu, their toilet paper factory will definitely be the factory of Sister Lanshu and Xiaobai~ Zhang Yunjing still remembers the two people who were waiting at the gate of the paper mill more than a month ago to wait for the leaders of the factory to come out. In just over a month, both of them have changed. One with outstanding abilities and strong ideas, leading the factory to get better and better. The other is directly that the poor boy becomes the rich second generation, and the handsome duckling finally becomes a white swan~! Another late-night update, don¡¯t forget to vote and support after watching~ I love you~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 55: invite Chapter 55 Invitation Xiaobai''s 50,000 investment was credited to the account soon, and the factory manager Zhu received the money and immediately signed a contract to transfer 49% of the toilet paper factory''s shares to Xiaobai''s name. Xiaobai entrusted Lanshu to sign for him because he couldn''t come in Beijing. Lan Shu''s original 30% stake now only has more than 15% left, and factory director Zhu and Zhang Yunjing have even less, but their factory has changed from a toilet paper production workshop to The toilet paper factory, which is not even a small factory, is about to formally own the specifications of the factory! The investment of 50,000 yuan, in addition to the addition of two sanitary napkin production machines, the remaining money was used by Director Zhu to expand the scale of the factory. The original paper mill was not profitable. After the toilet paper production workshop was acquired separately, the remaining part of the paper mill has been in a half-dead state. There is too much paper produced in the warehouse of the paper mill, but it is not easy to sell. The paper mills in Linjiang City are not the only paper mills in Qingyang County. The paper industry has long been saturated. Once sales slow down, the whole factory will have problems! Half a month ago, because the factory had too much inventory and the factory had no money to purchase raw materials, the machines in the paper mill stopped working one after another. If the paper in the warehouse cannot be sold, the factory will soon be unable to sustain it¡ª In addition to being the director of the toilet paper factory, Director Zhu is also the director of the paper factory for the time being. Although he had long expressed his desire to hand over the position of director of the paper mill, the old employees at the paper mill did not want Director Zhu to leave. Once Director Zhu leaves, their factory will be completely over! So after the toilet paper factory had money, Director Zhu''s first thought was to buy another paper factory workshop. First, the newly purchased sanitary napkin production machines must be placed in a factory building, and second, it can also make some money for the paper mill, so that the factory can relax a little bit. Knowing that the toilet paper factory was going to be acquired, a large workshop was immediately vacated at the paper factory. After the procedures on both sides, this workshop belongs to the toilet paper factory. On the day the contract was signed, Lan Shu arrived at the factory. Now Xiaobai holds the most equity in the toilet paper factory, and she ranks second, so besides the factory director Zhu, she needs to sign the contract for some procedures. When the management of the paper factory saw Lan Shu, they knew that it was the little girl in front of them who led the toilet paper factory to prosper! In just over a month, two more machines were added to the toilet paper factory! The old employees who participated in the fundraising of the toilet paper factory in the past have smiles on their faces from morning till night. It can be seen how good the development of the toilet paper factory is now~! Originally, everyone was an employee of the same factory. Now that the two sides have separated, one side is doing well, while the other is getting harder. This made the employees of the paper mill start to envy their former colleagues at the toilet paper factory. Seeing Lan Shu, the one who changed the fate of the toilet paper factory, after signing the contract, a management of the paper factory even mentioned, "It would be great if the situation of our paper factory can also be changed. " If things go on like this, even if there is a little financial help from the toilet paper factory to temporarily purchase the workshop, it will not last long. Maybe one day, their factory will go bankrupt! When Lan Shu heard this, she thought about it. As soon as the people from the paper mill left, she suggested to Director Zhu that maybe the paper mill could also be transformed on the basis of the original? There are many types of paper stacked in the warehouse of the paper mill. These types can be said to cover all the required paper products that can be seen on the market. Like line draft paper for learning, homework paper, and paper for printing on the inside pages of books, coated paper for front and back covers, everything is available! Since there are so many things in our factory, why do we only make paper instead of further making paper products? In the paper mill, it is only necessary to add printing machines, paper cutters, and gluing, binding, and laminating machines! Lan Shu''s idea, Director Zhu once thought about it, but to do so requires technology, and secondly, the price of these machines is not low. Judging from the current financial resources of the paper mill, it is impossible to realize it. "Then if the paper factory is the same as the previous toilet paper factory, and the employees are willing to raise funds?" Lan Shu thinks the paper factory can still be saved. Regarding this matter, Director Zhu did not discuss it any further. Obviously, there are other problems at the paper mill, which are not as simple as Lan Shu thought. ¡­ While the toilet paper factory ordered machines from abroad, waiting for new machines to come back. At Xie Xiaoju''s house, the small clothing workshop established by Lan Shu has started. Xie Xiaoju recruited five female sewing workers. The salary offered was 10 yuan per month as a monthly salary, and the rest would depend on their workload. Clothes are charged by piece. Of course, the price by piece will not be as high as what Lan Shu offered Xie Xiaoju back then. But it is also higher than the wages in those big garment factories. It costs 20 cents to make a pair of trousers, 30 cents for a shirt, and 50 cents for a coat. As long as you work hard at the end of the day, it is not a problem to earn more than one yuan, or even two yuan. Calculated in this way, they can get a monthly income higher than that of ordinary factory workers. Xie Xiaoju arranged the five female workers who worked on the sewing machines in one empty room, and the other room was where she cut and punched boards. In addition to the cutting table, there is also a shelf on one wall in the room, which is full of various fabrics. There are fabrics that have not been cut and cut, and there are also cut fabrics. On the other side of Changheng Street, Xie Xiaoju''s store of seven or eight square meters has been renovated. The decoration is very simple. The walls were painted and a few simple racks for hanging clothes were built. The clothes that Xie Xiaoju made before are now hanging in the store for sale. Lan Shu was not busy for the time being, so she worked as a salesperson in the store for two days, and sold the clothes that Xie Xiaoju had made for a week before. Next, the new clothes in the workshop need to be made, so that the store can continue to operate. ¡­ Early this morning, Lan Shu was preparing to bring the new clothes made in the clothing workshop next door to the shop. Before she went out, she received a letter from the newspaperman at the post office. There are two letters in total, one is the result notification of her examination in Linjiang City at the beginning of the month, and her graduation certificate. There is another letter sent from Kyoto. Lan Shu opened the envelope and looked, and found that it was Xiaobai''s mother, Wei Qiushuang, who invited her to go to Kyoto for a few days on New Year''s Day. Received Wei Qiushuang''s letter, frankly speaking, Lan Shu felt very surprised. She has read novels about this world, and knows how good the background of the male protagonist Gu Cheng is. The reason why Gu Cheng''s father, Gu Anguo, has a wide network of contacts in the capital is because of his wife, Wei Qiushuang. Wei Qiushuang was born in a military and political family. She was a little princess who was surrounded by stars since she was a child. (end of this chapter) Chapter 56: be jealous Chapter 56 Being jealous Regarding Xiaobai''s mother''s invitation, Lan Shu didn''t immediately decide whether to go or not. If it wasn''t for this invitation, she would probably be doing sales promotions at a clothing store in the county town on New Year''s Day, or returning to Tianshui Village to spend the holidays with her family. Fortunately, there is still half a month before New Year''s Day, whether to go or not, we will see when the time comes. ¡­ Kyoto, the Gu family. These days, Wei Qiushuang has found the best brain surgeon in Kyoto for her son. She wants the doctor to clean up the blood in her son''s head so that he can restore his memory. The doctor will come to the house today to take a preliminary look at Gu Jue''s condition. In the morning, Gu Jue received a letter from the post office. His grades came out, and he did very well in all subjects. After returning home, he contacted relevant personnel and changed the mailing address of the test results, so he could receive the letter on time. As soon as I dug out the transcript and diploma, the brain surgeon who came to the door today arrived. Dr. Chen is in his forties this year. He is a well-known brain surgeon in China. He has many years of surgical experience. He has also done craniotomy before, with a high success rate. Today Gu Anguo asked for leave and did not go to work. He and his wife Wei Qiushuang received Dr. Chen together to learn about his son''s situation. Dr. Chen was welcomed into the door by two people, walked into Gu''s house, and immediately saw Xiaobai who was looking at the report card. "This is Gu Jue, right?" Although Dr. Chen came to the Gu family for the first time, he was no stranger to Gu Jue, Mr. Wei''s precious grandson. Even though he has never met anyone, he has heard of this name and knows that Gu Jue is the treasure of the Gu family and his importance to the Wei family. Xiaobai looked up and met Dr. Chen''s eyes. He knew that a doctor would come to check his amnesia this morning. Obviously, now the doctor is here. "Hello." Xiaobai said, put the report card in his hand on the table in the living room, then got up and said hello politely. Be polite, this is what Sister Lan taught him. Sister Lan said that people without quality will be annoying no matter where they go! Seeing Gu Jue being so polite, Dr. Chen had a good first impression of the kid raised by the Gu family. He smiled slightly, and then his eyes fell on the report card. At first, it was just a random look, but now, the almost full marks in each subject made Dr. Chen stunned! After that, he bent down in disbelief and picked up the report card from the table, and looked at it carefully again. "Study is good~! When did you take the test? Before or after amnesia?" Dr. Chen asked. "After amnesia." Xiao Bai then replied. "So, amnesia doesn''t actually affect your intelligence, and it doesn''t even have any effect on your previous knowledge reserves. You just don''t remember what happened before, and you don''t remember the people you knew before?" After thinking about Dr. Chen''s question, Xiaobai slowly nodded, "It should be." Hearing what the patient he came to see today said, Dr. Chen immediately turned to look at Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo. "If this is the case, it is recommended that the patient should not go for craniotomy lightly." "Although the operation can quickly remove the blood stasis in the brain, the operation is risky after all. Since he has no impact on his life now, it is best to treat conservatively, take some blood stasis medicine, and observe slowly." Since the doctor said so, both Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo can only follow the doctor''s orders. Besides, Dr. Chen was not in a hurry to prescribe medicine, but continued to ask Xiaobai, "Your grades are so good, have you ever thought about continuing to study?" For this question, Xiaobai replied without hesitation, "I want to go to medical school and study medicine." If someone else asked him, he wouldn''t answer so readily. But the other party is a doctor, so he confessed unusually. This is the second time Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo have heard that their son is going to continue studying. This is completely different from the way they arranged for their son before! Wei Qiushuang immediately wanted to persuade his son to listen to them. But in the next second, she heard Dr. Chen say¡ª "No matter what you learn, use your brain more, it will help your amnesia." Wei Qiushuang paused for a moment when the words reached his lips, but he still didn''t say it in the end. When Gu Anguo saw his wife''s reaction, he also fell silent. When Dr. Chen prescribed medicine and left Gu''s house, he also recommended several foreign medical books so that Gu Jue could read them first when he had time. Xiao Bai immediately memorized the title of the book. At the same time, my impression of Dr. Chen instantly improved. ¡­ Qingyang County, Changheng Street, in a small clothing store. These days, after the supply of clothes from the small workshop continues, the store can finally guarantee that the clothes will no longer be out of stock. Because Lan Shu''s clothing styles always have some small details that can impress customers, making the store''s business boom. Soon, even the shopping malls in the county knew that there was a small clothing store on Changheng Street, and the daily sales of clothes almost caught up with half a floor of their shopping mall! . Because the business of the small store on Changheng Street is good, the clothing business in their shopping mall has dropped a lot these days due to competition from peers. Once the business is envied by others, it is a troublesome thing. Lan Shu opened the store for a day today, but only sold three pieces of clothing. Usually, she can sell at least 20 or 30 pieces every day! What went wrong? In the evening, an old customer who lived nearby visited the store, and then told Lan Shu about the situation. It turned out that there was an event in the mall today, and some clothes were on sale, and the price was much lower than usual. Many people got the news and went to the mall to buy clothes, so few people came to the small shop. It is said that the styles of the discounted clothes are similar to those in her store. In the past, the clothes that Lan Shu sold were more fashionable than those in the mall, and the prices of both sides were similar, so of course customers would prefer to buy clothes in her store. But now that there are clothes of the same type and style in the mall, and the price is cheap, of course everyone chooses the cheap one first. Although Lan Shu knew that the road to doing business would definitely not be smooth sailing, she never expected the setbacks to come so quickly! Once your small shop is targeted by the mall, it is not easy to break the situation. Or she will follow suit and fight a price war with the mall. But she is only a small shop, and the method of price war cannot last long. And even if you persist, it will only be a ''lose-lose'' in the end! So Lan Shu just thought about it and threw this attention out of her mind. Another way to solve this problem is to... If you can¡¯t beat the opponent, join the opponent¡ª In other words, let your competitors become your own! (end of this chapter) Chapter 57: development agency Chapter 57 Developing Agents The next day, Lan Shu''s small shop was not open, so she went to the county shopping mall early in the morning with a few new clothes from her small workshop. It took a while to walk around the clothing section of the mall, and finally she stopped in front of a store called ''Beautiful Wardrobe''. This store is much bigger than other clothing counters. An independent storefront, about 70 to 80 square meters inside, with clothes hanging on the walls and shelves in the store. Lan Shu roughly estimated that there are at least four to five hundred pieces of clothing in this clothing store, and there are customers in the store in the morning, which shows that the business is good. Lan Shu stood and waited for a while, until the customers in the store left after buying clothes, and then she walked in with a big cloth bag. Others came to shop and buy clothes by ¡®packing lightly¡¯, but now someone came in with a big bag, which immediately aroused the idea of ??the shopkeeper. The owner of the store is a woman in her thirties, wearing a bright red dress, curly hair that reaches her ears, and a pearl necklace around her neck. She still has a strong fragrance of cream on her body. It can be seen that she usually pays attention to her grooming and is a delicate woman. Seeing Lan Shu, the woman just examined her and didn''t speak first. This made Lan Shu can only express her intentions on her own initiative. "May I ask what your eldest sister''s name is?" She said with a smile on her face. With such an attitude, no one would refuse to answer. Sure enough, in the next second, Lan Shu got the information she needed¡ª "My name is Wang Li, you can call me Sister Wang." "Okay, Sister Wang, my name is Lan Shu, and I run a clothing store on Changheng Street..." Upon hearing about Lan Shu''s background, Wang Li''s originally calm face showed a look of vigilance! Although Lan Shu noticed it, she pretended not to notice anything, but continued to tell her why she came. "I don''t know if Miss Wang has heard of my store? Although there are not many styles of clothes in my store, the styles are novel and the quality is good. Many people like it." "Originally, I planned to open a store, but unfortunately, I have other work to do, and I really don''t have so much energy to open a store, so I wanted to find an agent." "Agent?" Wang Li was taken aback, she didn''t understand this word. But soon, she heard Lan Shu say, "Sister Wang, would you like to sell my goods in your store? I will supply the goods, and you will sell them. We will split the bill." After saying this, Wang Li immediately understood the little girl''s plan. But the idea... "Supplying, selling, what''s the difference between buying and selling from me?" She smiled and asked Lan Shu back. Regarding this, Lan Shu explained again, "Of course there is a difference. You have to spend money to buy the clothes back when you buy the goods. If there are unsold goods, you must lose money in the end." "But as my agent, you only need to sell the clothes. I don''t charge any purchase money until the clothes are sold, and I will share the bill after the sales." "If there are any unsold goods in the future, just return them to me. There is no need to worry about losing money to deal with this matter." After listening to Lan Shu''s explanation, Wang Li understood what she meant. It sounds pretty good. Anyway, I usually sell clothes, so it doesn¡¯t matter if I sell more styles. And you don''t need to buy goods to press money, you can make money by selling them! Thinking about it this way, Wang Li suddenly felt that it was feasible¡ª "What you said is true?" Regarding this matter, Wang Li still doesn''t quite believe that there is such a good thing. The answer to her was that Lan Shu directly opened the big cloth bag she brought over, and took out the various styles of clothes inside. "Sister Wang, these are a few models I brought over. You can put them in your store and try them out. If they sell well, you can keep them for sale. If they don''t sell well, I''ll come and take them away in a few days. .¡± The talk has come to this point, what else can Wang Li refuse? She already has a lot of clothes in her store, so she just added a few styles. So Lan Shu gave her the price list of the clothes, and there was also the quantity of each style of clothes she brought on the list. In duplicate, you only need to sign the form when you receive the clothes, and you really don¡¯t need to pay a penny! After a while, the initial agent has delivered. Before she left, Lan Shu told Wang Li that if the clothes were sold out and needed to be restocked, she would go to the small clothing store on Changheng Street to find her. Lan Shu has already decided that her small store will no longer sell clothes in retail, but will serve as a pick-up point for agents. That¡¯s right, the agents! The agency she wants to develop is not only the ''Beautiful Wardrobe'' store, there will be more in the future! When her small clothing workshop develops into a real clothing factory, her agents can go out of Qingyang County, out of Linjiang City, and even spread all over the country! ¡­ Two days later, the toilet paper factory finally waited for the arrival of the ''new'' machine. The one who came with the two sanitary napkin production machines was still the last technical teaching¡ªMark. Now the factory is no stranger to this type of machine. Under the teaching of Xiaobai, several factory technicians who have successfully graduated from the factory immediately cooperated with Mark to install and debug the two machines. In the afternoon, the machine was ready for production. Knowing that Mark is here, Lan Shu also rushed to the toilet paper factory. In the evening, Lan Shu treats guests, and invites Director Zhu and Sister Yun Jing to accompany Mark for dinner, as a landlord. At the dinner table, she asked Mark a question. "If I want our sanitary napkin production machine to make sanitary napkins of different sizes and lengths, can you help me make various types of accessories?" Regarding this question, Mark was stunned for a moment, and then asked Lan Shu in confusion, "What''s the use of having so many models of accessories?" Seeing that Lan Shu didn''t answer, he probably realized that this question was a commercial secret. So Mark stopped asking, but answered directly. "It will take about a week to make replaceable accessories, and it will take about half a month to send them to your factory." Lan Shu nodded when she heard this. She can accept this time. "What about the cost?" she asked. "A model is about 1,000 yuan." Mark can''t give an exact answer, and it''s just a rough estimate. Factory Manager Zhu heard that only the accessories cost a thousand! He doesn''t want to customize immediately! But Lan Shu had a tough attitude, "Okay, then give me three models first, and I will send you the size tomorrow. I hope you can make the corresponding accessories as soon as possible." Seeing Lan Shu being so forthright, Mark nodded immediately, "Don''t worry, I will complete your request as soon as possible!" Mark was very happy. During this business trip, he got an additional order for the factory behind him. Although the order is not large, there is always profit. Lan Shu is also very happy. When the new accessories arrive, she can implement the combination plan of sanitary napkins! How can a daily sanitary napkin of normal size 240MM be enough? Girls must be nice to themselves, and the night use of 290MM must keep up! In addition, the 200MM trumpet is a must for the suit. The most important thing is 360MM, which is simply a baby for sleeping at night! Ask for a ticket~ I have a recommendation ticket recently, and a monthly pass is also very much needed! In addition, can everyone give a reward for encouragement? (end of this chapter) Chapter 58: Its not a reason to hit someone Chapter 58 is not a reason to hit someone There is still a week before New Year''s Day. In the toilet paper factory, the three sanitary napkin production machines are spinning day and night, but they have not been able to fill up the large warehouse in the factory. Now the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin is a monthly must-have item for more than 50% of women in Qingyang County. In addition to Qingyang County, sanitary napkins have also spread throughout Linjiang City and surrounding counties under the promotion of supply and marketing cooperatives. Every two days, the factory sends out large trucks to deliver the produced sanitary napkins to various supply and marketing cooperatives in counties and urban areas. As for the distribution of goods to places outside Linjiang City, this plan has not waited for the toilet paper factory to start implementation. Several supply and marketing agencies in the surrounding cities of Linjiang City have heard the news and come to place orders. So Director Zhu found out belatedly. Fortunately, Lan Shu seemed to have anticipated this in advance, and asked the factory to raise financing, and then immediately purchased additional sanitary napkin production machines. If it weren''t for the overtime operation of these two extra machines, the sanitary napkins produced in their factory would have been out of supply and out of stock! Even so, after the three machines are produced, there is not much inventory in their factory warehouse. Director Zhu even had a bold idea, maybe within two months, their factory will continue to purchase machines and increase the number of machines? If that''s the case, their small toilet paper factory, which has just expanded in size, will not be enough in the future after closing the factory! Compared to the situation of the toilet paper factory, the paper factory has completely shut down. Workers no longer go to work, so naturally there is no wages to get. This made the more than 200 workers in the paper mill unable to sit still! There are protest banners at the entrance of the factory. This situation may cause trouble at any time! ¡­ Six thirty in the afternoon, off work time. The workers on the day shift at the toilet paper factory finished their day''s work and walked out of the factory gate to go home, but they were stopped by the people from the paper factory. Someone said, "Why do you all belong to the same factory before? You have jobs! You get money! But we are almost out of work?!" "That is to say! Director Zhu is not fair at all! He only cares about the toilet paper factory and doesn''t care about our life or death!" "If you don''t let us work, you don''t want to work either!" Once people are angry, they will say radical words and do radical things. The employees of the toilet paper factory had been busy for a whole day, and finally they could go home to eat and rest after get off work, but they were stopped and refused to leave, and they heard the other party yelling at them, even cursing! This kind of situation of being brought up to make trouble by others for no reason, but anyone with some blood will not bear it! So soon, at the gate of the paper mill, the workers of the paper mill and the workers of the toilet paper factory began a fierce, large-scale chaos! From the beginning of the quarrel between the two sides, some people even started to fight! By the time Lan Shu heard the news, it was already night. The hands-on workers in the paper mill and the toilet paper factory were more or less injured. Among them, the employee of a toilet paper factory was beaten in the head and blood flowed all over his face! After the incident became serious, it even alarmed the Public Security Bureau. Soon, some workers who fought in groups were taken away by the county public security bureau. In the end, the factory director Zhu entrusted his relationship and said all the good things before he was fished out. Factory Director Zhu, as the director of the two factories, was extremely embarrassed at this time. Regarding the group fight between the workers of the paper mill and the toilet paper mill, Director Zhu finally decided to resolve it within the factory itself. Lan Shu got the news, and when she arrived at the factory, she only saw Director Zhu. Other workers are either working the night shift or have already gone back. Several others were injured and are now lying in the hospital. Lan Shu listened to Director Zhu explain the ins and outs of the matter, and although she sympathized with the workers in the paper mill who had no jobs, it was not because they impulsively stopped them, or even beat and scolded the workers in the toilet paper mill. reason! At least the workers at the toilet paper factory were scolded, which was a disaster for nothing. The cause of the incident was caused by the workers making trouble at the paper factory, so Lan Shu stood by the toilet paper factory workers! "Nowadays with the reform and opening up and the rise of commerce, many factories need to transform. Once the transformation is successful, they will be able to continue. If the transformation fails, there are also those who are complacent and content with the status quo. Most of them will be submerged in the trend of future commercial development." "If a company does not manage well, it will go bankrupt. This is a general trend. There will be many bankrupt factories in the future, and there will be countless situations where workers will lose their jobs." "But even if they are unemployed, in today''s general environment, even if they don''t have a job in a factory, they won''t starve to death if they go out and do something casually." When Lan Shu said these words, she was very neat. During her words, Director Zhu even felt that her words were the future development situation. Lan Shu was able to help the toilet paper factory out of the predicament and regain a "new life", that is the fate between her and the toilet paper factory. But at the paper mill, even if she has the idea of ??helping the paper mill change, there are still other problems in the paper mill that Director Zhu can''t talk about. And she can only provide some ideas for the paper mill. Investment is impossible, she is powerless. She is not a philanthropist, and she will help reverse the situation when she sees any factory that is not working. Originally, no matter where the paper mill ended up, it had nothing to do with her. But now, the people from the paper mill hit the people from their toilet paper factory, and what was originally irrelevant has become related. The paper mill must give an explanation! Otherwise, at the toilet paper factory, maybe everyone will find it easy to bully¡ª¡ª Aside, Factory Director Zhu heaved a sigh of relief when he learned of Lan Shu''s attitude. "Last time you asked me why crowdfunding doesn''t work in paper mills, and now I''ll tell you why." As he spoke, he paused, and then continued. "The paper mill is an old factory. It has been established for more than 30 years, and the toilet paper production workshop has only existed for five or six years." "Before the acquisition, the wages of the workers in the toilet paper workshop were five yuan less than that of other workshops in the paper mill. Therefore, most of the employees working in the toilet paper production workshop are workers who have only been in the factory for a few years." "As for the workers in other workshops of the paper mill, there are basically two or three of them working in the factory. The positions have long been exceeded. Many people are even doing errands in the factory, dawdling and getting paid. They just want to Relying on wages in the factory, it is unlikely for them to unite and invest.¡± Director Zhu sighed again when he mentioned this. This situation is all my own fault. Twenty years ago, when he took over the position of director of the paper mill, he thought that the development of the factory would get better and better, so he would respond to the requests of some old workers in the factory to arrange their children in the factory according to the annual state grants. The establishment quotas are all filled up to allow people to enter the factory. Later, the efficiency of the factory could not increase, and layoffs were impossible, so the factory was dragged down from bad to worse. (end of this chapter) Chapter 59: Factory manager substitution Chapter 59 Factory Manager Substitution At this time, after telling his mistakes in the past, Director Zhu seemed to have collapsed, sitting listlessly behind his desk, even with a look of despair on his face. As the factory director, he failed~! He just led the workers in the toilet paper factory out of the predicament, but he was powerless to change anything in the paper factory... Thinking of this, Director Zhu suddenly looked at Lan Shu seriously. He has always had an idea in his mind during this time. Now, he felt it was time to speak out about the idea¡ª "I decided to resign as the director of the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu, I hope you can come to be the director of this factory and lead the factory to go on well!" Originally, Director Zhu planned to talk about this matter later, but this time the workers in the paper mill and toilet paper factory fought, which prompted him to speed up the progress of confiding this idea! As the director of the two factories, he must make a decision, otherwise it will not be a good thing for either factory. Hearing Director Zhu''s decision, Lan Shu was stunned on the spot! Lan Shu never thought of becoming the director of a toilet paper factory by herself. The positioning she gave herself has always been to make suggestions from behind. But now, she also understands the embarrassment of Director Zhu. Director Zhu chose the paper mill between the toilet paper mill and the paper mill, not because he gave up the toilet paper mill, but because he didn''t want to completely abandon the workers in the paper mill. "Director Zhu, I..." "Lan Shu, I''m begging you for this matter. The toilet paper factory has finally achieved its current development. There must be someone who can lead the factory to the top as the factory director." "I have observed all the leaders in the factory, but no one is more suitable than you. Even for the 70th and 80th workers in the toilet paper factory, I hope you can become the factory manager!" Listening to Director Zhu''s request, Lan Shu understood what Director Zhu meant. Of course she would not ignore so many people in the toilet paper factory, and hoped that the toilet paper factory would get better and better. She was just not ready to take on major responsibilities. But now, it seems that she doesn''t have much time to think, so she can only take the lead. Lan Shu took a deep breath to cheer herself up. Then she looked at Director Zhu and replied seriously, "Okay, I will take over the position of director of the toilet paper factory, but if Director Zhu no longer manages the paper mill, you are welcome to come back anytime from the toilet paper factory! " Seeing Lan Shu agreeing, Director Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Lan Shu, and said softly with emotion in his heart, "Okay." ¡­ The next day, the toilet paper factory changed its director, and a notice was posted on the bulletin board in the factory. Factory Director Zhu voluntarily resigned from the position of factory director, and elected Lan Shu as the new factory director. Although such a big change in the position of the factory director has aroused discussion among the workers in the factory, everyone also knows that without Lan Shu, the project chief planner and marketing manager in the factory, their factory would not have the current scale of development. . So soon, everyone in the toilet paper factory accepted Lan Shu as the new factory director. On the first day Lan Shu became the new factory director, she first went to the hospital to visit the workers who were injured in the toilet paper factory during the fight with the paper factory workers yesterday. After learning that the injuries of the employees in the factory only looked serious, but in fact there was nothing serious, Lan Shu felt relieved. Then she got the certificate of hospitalization from the hospital, including the medical bills of the injured workers yesterday, and returned to the paper mill. The paper mill must take responsibility for the conflict caused by the workers in the paper mill! In addition to medical expenses, there are also lost wages and nutrition expenses for injured workers. Lanshu will not ask for this money from the paper mill, but from the few people who caused trouble at the gate of the paper mill yesterday! People can only have a long memory when they pay the price, knowing that they will not be impulsive in the future¡ª ¡­ Paper Mill, Director Zhu''s Office. When Director Zhu looked at the medical bill that Lan Shu got, and when he asked to see the workers who took the lead in causing trouble in the paper mill yesterday, Director Zhu knew that Lan Shu would not let this matter pass easily. Although he was already mentally prepared, he never thought that Lan Shu would be so brave and not afraid of things! If it were someone else, Factory Manager Zhu might protect the workers in his factory. But now, he also felt that perhaps it was time to let those employees in the factory who thought they were veterans in the factory that they could act lawlessly and wantonly know the consequences. "Okay, at two o''clock this afternoon, I will inform them to come to the factory." Director Zhu said. After getting a clear answer from Director Zhu, Lan Shu nodded before leaving. In the afternoon, I have to meet the rioting workers at the paper mill. Of course, Lan Shu can''t go alone. She went to the hospital again, talked to the injured family members about the situation, and agreed that in the afternoon each family member would come to the factory as a representative to confront the other party and discuss the details of compensation. On her first day as factory director, Lan Shu spent the whole morning running around. She didn''t even have time to have a good meal at noon, so she could only buy two steamed buns on the street to fill her stomach. It was also at this time that Lan Shu realized how difficult it is to be the director of the factory. Factory Manager Zhu has Secretary Liu by his side, but he has no one by his side. Lan Shu made up her mind that after finishing her work today, she must hire a secretary as soon as possible, so that she won''t be too busy. ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu came to the paper mill according to the agreed time. She first met the family members of the injured employees of the toilet paper factory, and then a group of ten people walked towards the office of Director Zhu. At this time, in the office, the workers who led the trouble at the paper mill yesterday were basically present, but there were still two people who did not come. One of the two was lying at home because of an injury, and the other had a rogue attitude that had nothing to do with him, and didn''t want to come no matter what. Director Zhu sent someone to call, but no one was called. Just when he didn''t know how to explain to Lan Shu later, at this time, Lan Shu had already arrived with someone. Director Zhu''s office is not big, about ten square meters, so there is really no way to squeeze so many people at once. So at the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu walked in with two family members, and the rest of them waited in the corridor outside the door. The windows were not closed, and they could hear the movement in the room. Lan Shu never did anything in ink, she directly threw out the hospitalization certificate and medical receipts in her hand. "The people from your paper mill beat the workers in our factory, causing five people in our factory to be slightly injured and two seriously injured. The two who were seriously injured are still lying in the hospital, because the cause of the incident was caused by you, so the injured The patient¡¯s medical expenses must be borne by you!¡± As soon as she opened her mouth, she vociferously sought justice for the workers in her factory, which stunned the six troublemakers at the paper factory¡ª However, they didn''t expect that the justice Lan Shu wanted was more than that. There is good news to tell everyone, the PK of the book 80 has been promoted~! Then there will be the next round of PK. I hope everyone can vote for the novel while reading the book. All kinds of recommendation tickets and monthly tickets are required. In addition, I would like to call for book currency rewards. I hope everyone will support me and let the ranking of this novel go up. Thank you~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 60: Apologize for losing money Chapter 60 Losing money and apologizing "In addition to medical expenses, the seven injured workers in our factory have no way to come to work in the factory these days, so their lost wages will also be borne by you." "In addition, if you beat people, they can''t be beaten in vain. You have to pay some of the nutrition expenses of the injured workers." When Lan Shu said this, the family members of the toilet paper factory employees standing in the corridor outside the door were of course very happy when they heard that the factory leaders helped them out. But the six workers in the opposite paper mill blurted out what was in their hearts after a brief moment of stupefaction¡ª "Still losing money?!" "Someone on our side was also injured, why should we pay for it?" said a thin, not tall paper mill worker. "Why? Just because you stopped the workers in our factory after they got off work, restricted the personal freedom of our factory workers, and then made rude remarks, provoking troubles and swearing, which finally led to this fight!" Every time Lan Shu said a word, the workers in the opposite paper mill felt more guilty. They know it''s their fault this time, and they can lose money... They are about to lose their jobs, and they don¡¯t know where to make money in the future, so they don¡¯t lose money! At this moment, although the workers of the paper mill were silent, the expressions on their faces made it easy for Lan Shu to see what they were thinking. "If a person does something wrong, he has to pay the price. If he doesn''t want to lose money, then we can only choose to call the police and sue you for intentional injury! At that time, we can''t escape by losing money. If the circumstances are serious, we may have to go in and squat for a few days .¡± In this day and age, many people have a weak sense of law. Even Director Zhu¡¯s initial thought was to make peace with both sides, and let things go. But with Lan Shu, she must seek justice for the workers in her factory! This is what she, the factory director, should do. When the workers at the paper mill heard Lan Shu''s words, they had different thoughts. Some of them were already frightened by these words, while some became angry instantly, and even wanted to do it at any time, trying to use violent means to prevent the toilet paper factory from suing them! Upon seeing the situation, Director Zhu immediately got up and stood between the two parties, trying to persuade them to negotiate peace. But Lan Shu is not afraid of those paper mill workers who just want to beat them up without reason. "You can''t get away with medical expenses and lost wages. The rest is in addition to nutrition expenses. If you beat the people in our factory, you must apologize to the workers in our factory!" "If we don''t lose money, don''t we apologize?!" At the paper mill, a worker with a slightly stronger figure stood up and said in a threatening tone. "Then let''s do business. If Director Zhu can fish you out, I can send you back in." Lan Shu frowned, and after finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Seeing her calm and confident attitude, someone at the paper mill finally couldn''t help it, and immediately rushed towards her! Seeing this, the family members of the injured workers in the two factories next to Lan Shu immediately stepped forward to stop them, trying to protect Director Lan who was seeking justice for their family. But there were only two of them, and they couldn''t stop the three or four paper mill workers who rushed up together¡ª Fortunately, Director Zhu also stepped forward to stop Lan Shu from being hurt. And when Lan Shu saw the helpless and rascal appearance of these people in the paper mill, she finally understood the reason why Director Zhu hadn''t continued to discuss the transformation method of the paper mill she had mentioned before. Some workers in the paper mill may not be able to create value for the factory, but they are rogues doing everything! Lan Shu frowned, looked at Director Zhu who was trying to stop the workers in his factory, and sighed a little. "Director Zhu, I''ve already told them, let them all go back and think about it, whether they want to do it privately or on a business basis." After speaking, Lan Shu was about to leave the office. But as soon as she turned around, she saw that not far behind her, the eldest brother who was supposed to be in the village appeared in front of her eyes! Lan Dazhuang finished his work in the back mountain in the morning, drove a tractor to the city after lunch, and wanted to collect this month''s wheat bran. Before accepting it, he stopped by the paper mill to see how his little sister was doing at work. Then he passed by the factory director''s office, and saw a group of people at the door, and heard the little girl''s voice from a distance. Lan Dazhuang rushed over immediately, seeing someone who wanted to do something to his little sister, he squeezed through the crowd in the corridor and rushed in! ¡ª "I don''t care what happened to you, anyone who dares to touch my little sister will just make things difficult for me, Lan Dazhuang!" While speaking, Lan Shu was pulled behind by her elder brother. Lan Dazhuang''s tall and strong figure, which looked like a wall, completely blocked her! In the office, several workers in the paper mill who were about to cause trouble were immediately scared back by Lan Dazhuang''s ferocious aura! They originally planned to do something, but they suddenly died down. Lan Dazhuang''s physique is not easy to mess with at first glance! No one would have thought that there would be such a ''vicious god'' next to the new director of the toilet paper factory! Seeing that no one dared to make a mistake, Lan Dazhuang had the time to look back at his little sister. "Little sister, what happened?" "It''s okay, brother, you came just in time." As she said, she walked out from behind Lan Dazhuang and looked at several paper mill workers. "Are you going to lose money honestly, or are you going to play tricks on me?" With Lan Dazhuang here, standing there with his size and tonnage, anyone who wants to play tricks has to weigh it. After a few paper mill workers hesitated, they expressed their opinions one after another, and decided to lose money and settle the matter. At this time, Lan Shu realized that among the people who made trouble yesterday, two of them hadn''t come. They want to hide when something happens, but with Lan Shu around, who can escape? "One hundred and sixty-seven yuan for medical expenses, five yuan for lost work, five yuan for minor injuries, ten yuan for serious injuries, and nutrition expenses. You should discuss with the families of the injured. The two who did not come should pay. You yourself Hurry up, I just need to receive the money." Aren''t they arrogant and want to fight? Then go and ask for money from their own people! After Lan Shu finished speaking, she didn''t want to stay any longer, and left the office of Director Zhu with the family members of the employees of the toilet paper factory. Leave six paper mill workers staring at each other. The money they have to pay...It always depends on who makes the trouble, who pays more, right? Factory Manager Zhu looked at the workers in his factory in front of him and couldn''t help sighing. If he had half the courage of Lan Shu, he would have reduced the internal staff of the paper mill early on, and the paper mill would not have fallen into this situation now. He still did something wrong~! It''s a pity that it''s too late even if I know my mistake now. The current situation of the paper mill has really reached the point of no return¡ª All he can do now is to live and die with the paper mill... (end of this chapter) Chapter 61: promoted Chapter 61 Promotion Back to the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu stood outside the workshop of the toilet paper factory and explained to Lan Dazhuang what happened before. Lan Dazhuang only found out at this time that his little sister came to work in the toilet paper factory, not to be a worker, but to be the director of the factory! Thinking that his little sister is now the director of the toilet paper factory, Lan Dazhuang was surprised from ear to ear! "Little, little sister, can you be a factory director after graduating from elementary school?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Is it difficult for her to graduate from primary school? Although she has passed the evening school exam and has a college degree, she can''t tell Lan Dazhuang about this yet. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain how she suddenly became enlightened in her studies and got a diploma in a short period of time after she graduated from primary school. So the eldest brother said that she graduated from elementary school, so she can only treat her as having graduated from elementary school... Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, and then asked about the situation of Lan Dazhuang''s back mountain. "The more than 100 chickens in the free-range chicken farm have been raised for two months, and now they have weighed more than one catty, almost two catties. In a few months until the spring of next year, they will be able to hatch eggs and add chicks." "Fortunately, little girl, you found Uncle Chen and Mrs. Zhang in the county town to help harvest the wheat bran. Otherwise, when there are more chicks in our chicken farm next year, we won''t have enough to eat." Lan Dazhuang said that he really felt that his little sister was really amazing! It wasn''t long after I came to the county seat, so I''m so busy! First, he settled the need for wheat bran at home, and now he is the factory manager! If this news is spread back to the village, won¡¯t it make the whole village envious? "By the way, little girl, why don''t you see Xiaobai? You have become the factory director, and he didn''t follow you?" Lan Dazhuang asked. He still doesn''t know that Xiaobai has been recognized as a relative and has returned to the capital. There is no phone at home, and it is not easy for Lan Shu to call the village chief''s house to inform the family about this matter, so she hasn''t told the family about Xiao Bai. Now that Lan Dazhuang came, Lan Shu explained Xiaobai''s situation. Learning that Xiaobai came from Kyoto before he lost his memory, Lan Dazhuang stared in surprise for a long time. "It''s amazing~!" As he spoke, he muttered to himself, "I don''t know when I''ll see Xiaobai again." Lan Dazhuang didn''t treat Xiaobai as an outsider, even if Xiaobai couldn''t be his brother-in-law, but after all, they lived together, so there is some concern. It''s just a pity, the people in the capital must look down on the girls in their village, so the relationship between my little sister and Xiaobai can''t be considered~! After listening to Lan Dazhuang sighing, there is nothing going on in the factory for the time being, and it just so happens that the elder brother is here, so he can take the tractor back together. Lan Shu''s Phoenix bicycle was moved by Lan Dazhuang to the tractor, and the two brothers and sisters soon came to Mrs. Zhang''s house along the way. Lan Dazhuang had to wait a while to collect wheat bran, so Lan Shu got on his bicycle and went back to Xie Xie''s house where she was renting. In the past few days, the clothes made by her small clothing workshop have been sold. The owner of the "beautiful closet" in the county shopping mall, Miss Wang, came to Lan Shu to pick up the clothes the next day after she received them. A batch of clothes back. But there is only Wang Li as an agent, and she still can''t eat so many clothes from her small workshop. The next day, she found two clothing stores in the east and west of the county seat, and put some clothes there for sale. Now that Lan Shu is the director of the toilet paper factory, she has to hand over these things about the clothing workshop in the future. Otherwise, she would be too busy on both sides! ¡­ Xie Xiaoju''s house, in the clothes cutting room. Xie Xiaoju heard Lan Shu say that she would be asked to manage the clothing workshop in the future, and besides the usual purchase of fabrics, the matter of delivering clothes to the three agency stores in the county was also handed over to her. In the future, she will not have to do the work of cutting and boarding the clothes. When she is not busy, she only needs to stay at the small shop on Changheng Street. And their workshop needs to recruit people to do cutting work. Xie Xiaoju bowed her head and remained silent for a long time upon hearing this. "Sister Lan Shu, I''d better continue to do the cutting work. I am good at these. As for other things, why don''t you find someone else to do it?" Lan Shu originally wanted Xiaoju to be the supervisor, but Xie Xiaoju refused. Although Lan Shu intends to promote Xie Xiaoju, she can''t make others difficult. So in desperation, Lan Shu had no choice but to find someone from among the original five sewing machine girls to do the purchasing and external sales. Among the female workers that Xie Xiaoju helped Lanshu recruit, there was a young girl named A Xing who was just twenty-three years old. She was smarter and worked very hard. So after Xie Xiaoju refused, Lan Shu found A Xing and repeated what she had just said to Xie Xiaoju. A Xing was naturally very happy when she heard that the boss wanted to reuse her. A Xing immediately patted her chest and said that she would definitely do the job assigned by the boss well! She didn''t even ask about the salary. Naturally, Lan Shu would not treat the employees of her workshop badly. She offered A Xing a salary of 50 yuan, and asked A Xing to do the work first. After that, there would be a bonus at the end of the year. This salary is about the same as A Xing usually sitting in front of the sewing machine for a day, so A Xing readily accepted her new job. ¡­ In the evening, after Lan Dazhuang returned from harvesting the wheat bran, he took his little sister to the paper mill again. In the office, Director Zhu saw Lan Shu and immediately understood her purpose. "This is one hundred and fifty yuan raised by the factory workers in the afternoon." "There are still sixty-two. After they ask for it with the other two, I will hand it over to you." Director Zhu said as he opened the drawer of his desk and took out the money. Lan Shu was not too polite. After receiving the money and packing it up, she looked up at Director Zhu silently for a while. Director Zhu probably understood what Lan Shu was thinking. Her eyes seemed to be asking, why did he come back to such a factory? But the little girl didn''t understand that he had worked in the paper mill for nearly 30 years and had been the factory manager for 20 years. His feelings were sometimes more important than anything else. "Go back, and take care of the toilet paper factory in the future." Director Zhu said, sighed, and waved to Lan Shu. Lan Shu nodded, and left a sentence before leaving, "It''s still the same sentence before, welcome back anytime." ¡­ Backing from the paper mill to the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu handed over the money to the treasurer in the factory. Then she explained that she wanted to recruit a secretary, and then left with her elder brother. The clouds in the sky are gradually darkening. If you don¡¯t leave at this point, Lan Dazhuang will have to go on a night trip at night. Before leaving, Lan Dazhuang also asked the younger sister if she would be back home after two days of New Year''s Day. Lan Shu originally planned to go home, but now there are too many things going on in the county, she really can''t leave. Lan Dazhuang nodded, he could understand the busy situation of the younger sister, but Lan Dazhuang was really worried because the younger sister was the factory director in the county seat. But the back of the family couldn''t do without him, so Lan Dazhuang could only explain to his younger sister, asking her to go home and tell him if there was anything wrong. Afterwards, Lan Dazhuang drove the tractor away... Watching her elder brother leave, Lan Shu really felt the warmth of family love in her elder brother''s words. Yes, she is not alone. Behind her are her brothers and her parents. By the way, there is also Xiaobai who is far away in Kyoto. Before Xiaobai¡¯s mother, Mrs. Wei, invited her to the capital for the festival, but now it seems that she has no time to go... (end of this chapter) Chapter 62: reject Chapter 62 Denial the next day. Kyoto, Z district compound, Gu''s family. Wei Qiushuang answered a phone call in the afternoon. Although the phone number was an unfamiliar one, Wei Qiushuang knew that it was Lan Shu when she heard the clear and pleasant voice on the phone. Because the original factory manager Zhu took care of both the paper mill and the toilet paper factory, after the toilet paper factory was separated, there was no telephone installed, and the landline of the paper factory was used. Now that Lan Shu has become the factory director, the first thing she does is to install a new landline phone in the toilet paper factory. The telephone was only installed in the morning, and a room was vacated as her office in the small two-story staff office building not far from the toilet paper production workshop. On the phone, Wei Qiushuang could still hear the slight ''clang, clang,'' sound of the machine working on Lanshu''s side. "Mrs. Wei, I''m sorry, but on New Year''s Day this year, my factory has something to do, so I can''t go to Kyoto." As soon as Lan Shu finished speaking, Wei Qiushuang immediately answered, "Do you have time for Chinese New Year? Welcome to come and play~" Lan Shu really didn''t expect Xiao Bai''s mother to want to go there by herself so much. When she received a letter from Wei Qiushuang before, she thought it was just an invitation out of courtesy. But now, she found that Wei Qiushuang seemed very persistent in letting her go to Kyoto for a few days! "Chinese New Year..." During Lan Shu''s speech, the tone of hesitation was quite obvious, so obvious that it could even be regarded as a tactful refusal. After all, whoever celebrates the New Year will go home and spend it with their family, so how could Lan Shu go to spend the New Year with someone else''s house? Wei Qiushuang seemed to realize that her proposal was not very good, so she changed the subject. "Does Miss Lan Shu have any relatives in Beijing?" She asked suddenly. Wei Qiushuang only discovered by accident in the past few days that the girl whose adopted son Gu Cheng is chasing recently has a mother who looks somewhat similar to Lan Shu. And that family is also surnamed Lan¡ª This made Wei Qiushuang think that maybe Lan Shu''s family has relatives in the capital? If that¡¯s the case, it would be reasonable for the little girl to come to Kyoto for a few days to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year. In order for her son to see Lan Shu and become happier, Wei Qiushuang tried his best. Hearing this question, Lan Shu''s heart skipped a beat. "Why would Mrs. Wei ask such a question?" She said, and then replied, "I don''t know if there are any relatives in my family in Kyoto. I haven''t mentioned it in my family, so there shouldn''t be any." Actually, when she said this sentence, Lan Shu was already guessing, did Wei Qiushuang know something? No, she shouldn''t know! Although there is no mention in the novel that the real daughter looks like her biological mother, it is the appearance of the real daughter who has gained weight. If you change to a real daughter who has lost weight, it may not look like it! So Wei Qiushuang may feel familiar because she met the real daughter''s biological mother in Kyoto? "Oh, is that so? If Miss Lanshu is free, you can go back and ask her family. If there are relatives in Kyoto, you can also come to Kyoto and visit relatives by the way." "Okay, thank you Mrs. Wei for your concern." Lan Shu responded politely, and after chatting with Wei Qiushuang for a few more words, she ended the call. ¡­ Gu family. Wei Qiushuang who put down the phone still felt that Lan Shu and the wife of the Lan family looked alike. Once such an idea is born, it seems to be lingering in my mind¡ª Just like what she said on the phone, the two families have the same surname, so there must be some relationship! If she is free, she thinks she should ask the lady of the Lan family to see if their family has any relatives in the countryside? At this moment, Lan Shu didn''t know that the day when she would be recognized by the Lan family would be a year later, but because of Wei Qiushuang''s appearance, this deadline was brought forward... ¡­ The annual New Year''s Day festival, Gu Jia. Gu Cheng, who has long since moved out of his home to purchase real estate, rarely comes back to reunite with his family. Gu Cheng is twenty-six years old this year, nine years older than Gu Jue. Although he is not Wei Qiushuang''s biological son, because of his relationship with Wei''s family, he is very popular in the business district of Kyoto. Going out, knowing his identity, many people will look at the face of the Wei family and give him a little favor. So Gu Cheng became the first batch of businessmen after the reform and opening up since the country opened up to do business two years ago. Now in Kyoto, he has made a lot of money by relying on various electrical appliances and watch businesses. Today, besides returning by himself, Gu Cheng also brought someone else with him. Lan Xinya, the daughter of the Lan family in Kyoto. The Lan family, like the Gu and Wei families, both engaged in politics, but two years ago, the Lan family turned to business. The Lan family, who abandoned politics and went into business, quickly made a fortune. Although their financial resources are not as strong as Gu Cheng''s, they are still well-known in the capital and have accumulated a lot of wealth. Gu Cheng met Lan Xinya at a business banquet. Although Lan Xinya''s appearance was not amazing, he noticed Lan Xinya at a glance. And after knowing Lan Xinya''s identity, Gu Cheng decided to pursue Lan Xinya. Based on Gu Cheng''s appearance, he thinks that he can definitely be regarded as the type that many women like, but Lan Xinya refused his pursuit at first. After several times, he intentionally created opportunities to meet Lan Xinya, and finally managed to catch up with her. A few days ago, Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya confirmed their relationship, and just in time for the festival, he took his girlfriend home to meet the elders in the family. Today, Lan Xinya is wearing a white shirt, paired with a water-blue long skirt, and an off-white windbreaker over the skirt. Her long hair is tied low, and she looks gentle and watery, like a small family jade. attitude. At noon, Gu Anguo, Wei Qiushuang, and Gu Jue were all at the dining table in the living room on the first floor of the Gu family. Seeing Gu Cheng bring his girlfriend, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang were very enthusiastic. Only when Xiaobai heard that his eldest brother''s girlfriend was named Lan, he couldn''t help but think of Sister Lan who is now in Qingyang County. I don¡¯t know if Sister Lan has returned to the village for the festival? What will Sister Lan eat during the festival? Sister Lan''s braised pork ribs and the taste of fried crispy pork are still fresh in his memory. Thinking of this, Xiaobai took another look at the things that his parents had worked together in the kitchen all morning on the table at his house... I can tell at a glance that it is definitely not as delicious as Sister Lan''s cooking! The combined cooking skills of his parents are no match for Sister Lan. Sister Lan is really amazing~! While Xiao Bai was in a trance, suddenly, a clear and gentle female voice entered his ears. "Hello, Young Master Gu, it''s the first time we meet today. This is a gift I specially selected for you. I hope you like it." Lan Xinya came to the Gu family, of course she did not come empty-handed. She bought gifts for Gu Anguo, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Jue, just to please the Gu family. Actually, she was willing to be with Gu Cheng from the beginning. But Lan Xinya knows that the easier a woman is, the less a man will cherish it, so she rejected Gu Cheng several times. After that, she felt that the time was ripe, so she agreed to be Gu Cheng''s girlfriend. Thank you Autumn & Maple Leaf for rewarding 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 63: dont look like Chapter 63 Doesn''t look like it Lan Xinya is the only daughter of the Lan family. She grew up under the doting of her parents. She has good living conditions and has no worries about food and clothing. But no one knows that Lan Xinya has always had a secret. When she was twelve or thirteen years old, she realized that she looked nothing like her parents! Lan Xinya has observed fathers and daughters, mothers and daughters in other families, and when daughters are born, they always look alike to their parents. But she is the only exception. At that time, she even wondered if she was her parents'' biological daughter? Later, she asked her mother about the situation when she was born. Lan Xinya found out that when she was born, her mother and father went to a small county town far away from Kyoto. The purpose of their trip was to visit relatives, and they would be able to return in two or three days, but who knew that not long after they arrived in the county, their mother suddenly gave birth early¡ª My mother said that she gave birth to herself in the county hospital. Hearing this, Lan Xinya had a bad feeling in her heart... She originally felt that she didn''t look like her parents, but now she doubts that she is not her parents'' biological daughter! Lan Xinya began to get scared¡ª If one day, parents know about this, they will definitely find their own daughter! By that time, when they have their own daughter, they won¡¯t treat themselves as well as they are now... So from then on, Lan Xinya deliberately made friends with good backgrounds in Kyoto. She didn''t want to be left alone after losing her parents. Making personal connections is the only way for her to bring her a sense of psychological security. Until a year ago, Lan Xinya knew about Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng is very superior from birth to appearance, and he is also outstanding in ability. Gu Cheng embarked on a business journey, and in just one year, he had a successful career. He is the most eye-catching business upstart in the business district of Kyoto. Lan Xinya admires and likes Gu Cheng. What she didn''t expect was that she would meet Gu Cheng at a business banquet! At that time, when all the girls at the scene were paying attention to Gu Cheng, she was the only one who acted nonchalantly and chatted with her fellow sisters. Sure enough, his performance of not caring about the other party attracted Gu Cheng''s attention. After that, the emotional pursuit between her and Gu Cheng began¡ª Gu Cheng chased her for three months, and she agreed to be Gu Cheng''s girlfriend. Today, Gu Cheng brought her to meet her parents at home, which is the best recognition of her identity. So she has to behave better! Besides, Xiaobai glanced at the rectangular gift box handed over by his brother and girlfriend. From the size and shape of the box, it can be basically judged that what is inside should be a watch. As soon as they meet, they will send gifts worth up to 100 yuan, and it¡¯s not just for myself, but for everyone in the family. From this, it can be seen that his brother, his girlfriend, has a very good family background. Such a person is also suitable for his brother. But those have nothing to do with me. Xiao Bai shook his head, "I won''t accept the gift, we don''t know each other well." This woman is only his brother''s girlfriend. If the two break up in the future, it''s not good to take each other''s things for nothing. At the dining table, Xiaobai¡¯s words made the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly cold for a moment¡ª Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were a little embarrassed, but Gu Cheng immediately frowned when he heard Gu Jue''s words! Seeing the stiff expression on his girlfriend''s face, Gu Cheng''s dissatisfaction with Gu Jue almost showed on his face! But this expression is only fleeting. In the next second, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo heard their eldest son say, "Dad, Mom, I am sincere to Xinya. I have identified her and want to be with her." When Wei Qiushuang heard Gu Cheng''s decision, she had no objection to it. Since Gu Cheng likes it, let him do as he pleases. Gu Anguo on the side was very happy to hear that his 26-year-old eldest son was finally settling down! "Okay, okay, okay, let''s go to Lan''s house another day and discuss it with Miss Xinya''s parents. If there is no problem, I will make an engagement for you first." Gu Anguo immediately made a decision. Of course Gu Cheng has no objection, and because of this happy event, Lan Xinya swept away the embarrassment and embarrassment brought to her by the young master of the Gu family. She glanced at Gu Cheng affectionately, then nodded shyly. The Gu family ate this meal, except for Xiaobai who had no mood swings and only felt that the food was not very tasty, the rest of the family were in a good mood. Watching his brother getting engaged, maybe getting married soon. Thinking of this home that he is not yet fully familiar with, and about to walk into other women who are even more unfamiliar to him, Xiao Bai is really not in the mood. Let¡¯s go back to the room and read a book~ These days, he has probably read several books that Dr. Chen recommended to him. Xiaobai thinks reading is more interesting than making a decoration at the dinner table... ¡­ On the Gu family''s side, the Gu family acted very quickly for the things that had been determined. The next day, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo went to Lan''s house with gifts. The Lan family and the Gu family do not live in the same compound. Compared with the compound where the Lan family lives, the place where the Gu family lives is more confidential. However, the Lan family is a well-known existence in their compound that accommodates forty or fifty families. The two-story small building where the Lan family lived was not as big as the Gu family''s, but it was really nice. Because the Lan family started to do business in the past two years, their financial resources have improved by leaps and bounds. The various electrical appliances at home, such as washing machines and TVs, are all new models in the past two years. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had long heard from their daughter that the Gu family was coming today. Daughter and Gu''s parents fell in love, and they didn''t agree at first. After all, the daughter is only nineteen years old this year, while Gu Cheng, the eldest son of the Gu family, is twenty-six. There is a seven-year age difference between them. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan still hope that their daughter can find a man who is about her age to live. It seems that there are a few young guys in their compound, they are very good, they are in their early twenties, they are talented, and they have watched them grow up since they were young, and they know everything. But the two of them couldn''t hold back their determination to get along with Gu Cheng''s daughter! Lan Weicheng had no choice but Xu Shan didn''t want her daughter to be sad. So Xu Shan helped her daughter and said a few nice words to her husband, and in the end Lan Weicheng had no choice but to agree after the hard work of the mother and daughter. After the Lan family, Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng greeted the elders, the young couple went out together, saying that they wanted to stroll around the compound so as not to delay the elders'' discussion. Gu Anguo and Lan Weicheng were sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs and talking. Wei Qiushuang looked at Xu Shan, the wife of the Lan family, closely and carefully. Xu Shan has a pair of beautiful big eyes with obvious double eyelids. Her nose bridge is high and straight, her lips are neither thick nor thin, and the lip shape is good, and the corners of her lips are naturally slightly raised. Although Xu Shan is not young, it can be seen that she must have been a beautiful beauty when she was young! (end of this chapter) Chapter 64: relatives of the blue family Chapter 64 Relatives of the Lan Family Compared to Xu Shan, Lan Xinya who just sat next to her is different. Although Lan Xinya also has double eyelids, she has inner double eyelids, and the shape of her eyes is different from her parents. Lan Xinya''s nose bridge is high, but the nose is wide, and the tip of the nose is slightly larger, not as delicate as Xu Shan''s nose. Except for the eyes and nose, Lan Xinya''s lips are slightly thicker, with well-defined lips, and the corners of the mouth are slightly down when not smiling. Just now when the mother and daughter were sitting together for comparison, Wei Qiushuang really didn''t find any resemblance between the mother and daughter. After observing Xu Shan, Wei Qiushuang even glanced sideways at Lan Xinya''s father. Lan Weicheng looks upright, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a low nose bridge, and thin lips. Looking at it this way, Lan Xinya is actually not like her father! Such a discovery made Wei Qiushuang slightly frown. She had only seen Xu Shan from a distance before, and she felt that the girl Lan Shu looked like Xu Shan. Looking up close now, the biological daughter does not look like her mother, but looks like an outsider. This situation is too abnormal! So Wei Qiushuang couldn''t help but asked Xu Shan, "I wonder if Mrs. Lan has any relatives in Qingyang County?" Xu Shan was suddenly asked, she was slightly taken aback¡ª She didn''t know why Mrs. Wei suddenly mentioned Qingyang County? And being able to name a small county so accurately, what exactly is Mrs. Wei trying to say? The word ''Qingyang County'' made Lan Weicheng, who was talking with Gu Anguo about their children''s marriage, pause for a moment. Qingyang County is no stranger to Lan Weicheng, a distant cousin of his lives in a village near Qingyang County. "What''s wrong?" Lan Weicheng asked. "It''s nothing, just a random question." Wei Qiushuang didn''t directly answer the questions of the Lan family couple. Kyoto is so far away from Qingyang County, some things are just her guesses, without real evidence, she can''t just talk about it. Seeing what Mrs. Wei said, Lan Weicheng didn''t care, but he didn''t hide it, and answered truthfully. "I have a cousin who lives not far from Qingyang County, in the surrounding villages of Qingyang County. In the past five or so years, he caught up with the educated youth going to the countryside and went there. Later, he got married and had children in the countryside. stayed in the village." There are some things that Lan Weicheng didn''t say. When the educated youth went to the countryside, in fact, he was the one who went to the countryside assigned by the Lan family. At that time, Lan Weicheng had a young brother under him. As the eldest son of the family, he responded to the call of the country. But knowing that going to the countryside is suffering, and he may never come back, his parents certainly don''t want their son to live in poverty for the rest of his life! So his parents found his uncle''s family who was in a difficult situation, hoping that his cousin could go to the countryside to be an educated youth instead of him. Correspondingly, his family is willing to compensate for this. Uncle Lan Weicheng''s family has only one son, who is two years older than him. When the uncle was young, his poor daughter-in-law ran away, and he was single, unemployed, eating and drinking everywhere. Because the uncle doesn¡¯t have a job, the cousin of the uncle¡¯s family doesn¡¯t have to go to the countryside. When my cousin learned of the benefits of going to the countryside instead of him, he went there without any hesitation. At that time, Lan Weicheng was very grateful to his cousin. The family spent some money on gifts and did some activities with the person in charge of sending the educated youth to the countryside before sending his cousin away. In the following years, Lan Weicheng went to Qingyang County twice. Once was when my cousin got married. Another time was nineteen years ago, when he took his pregnant wife to visit his cousin. At that time, Lan Weicheng felt that if his cousin had not replaced him at the beginning, he would not have the good job he is now, and the happy life of getting married and having children soon. So he wanted to take his wife to thank his cousin. Aside, Wei Qiushuang didn''t know about Lan Weicheng''s old secrets. She just became happy when she heard that Lan''s family really had relatives in Qingyang County! "A while ago, I went to Linjiang City by chance. There, I met a little girl from Qingyang County. The little girl is also surnamed Lan. She may be a child of your relatives." As Wei Qiushuang spoke, it was obvious in her tone that she had a good impression of the little girl she was talking about. Hearing Mrs. Wei talk about this, Lan Weicheng was a little puzzled. How could Mrs. Wei be so sure? Just because the other party has the same last name as his family? But even though there are not many people with the surname Lan, it is not completely absent. Madam Wei''s guess is too random... Lan Weicheng was thinking about it, but in the next second, Mrs. Wei said again. "By the way, that little girl has a pair of beautiful big eyes, which look exactly like Mrs. Lan..." Before Wei Qiushuang finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and stopped talking immediately! At first, although she thought that Lan Shu and the Lan family couple might be relatives, but now, if Lan Shu is the child of Lan Weicheng''s relatives, why does she look like his wife? Wei Qiushuang frowned. She suddenly discovered that the reason for this incident might not be simple! When Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan present here heard Wei Qiushuang''s words, especially Xu Shan''s heart skipped a beat! She immediately asked, "How old is that girl?" "I don''t know how old she is, but I guess she should be about the same age as your daughter." Wei Qiushuang answered after thinking carefully. Seeing what she said, the Lan family husband and wife suddenly looked at each other tacitly. Both of them saw the expression of horror in each other''s eyes! "How is this possible?!" Mrs. Lan Xu Shan still couldn''t believe it. And Lan Weicheng frowned, looking solemn. "I think we should go to Qingyang County again..." The marriage talks between the Gu family and the Lan family did not proceed this time, and the date of Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya''s engagement has not been finalized. The next day, the Lan family and his wife left home and took the train to Qingyang County, Linjiang City¡ª ¡­ Just after New Year''s Day, Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. Today is the day when Lan Shu, the new factory director, chooses a secretary. It is of course a good thing to be able to serve as the factory manager''s secretary. The workers in the factory got the news, and many of them wanted to sign up for the election. But Lan Shu has conditions for recruiting people. Under the age of twenty-five, the minimum education must be a high school graduate. As for the gender of the secretary beside her, Lan Shu is not too concerned about it, both men and women are fine. There is a reason why she asked for this. Educational qualifications are required because academic qualifications can screen a person''s ability to a certain extent. If you don¡¯t even have the learning ability to graduate from high school, it can be seen that this person is impatient to study, or has relatively poor learning ability. And if a person is educated, it can also make this person have a certain basic quality. Of course, this is not absolute. For example, people like Xu Yunjie, although they have a high degree of education, their character is too bad. The last requirement on age is because older employees are generally capable and have already made some achievements in their positions, and they will definitely not come to be secretaries. She will not accept those who are not capable. (end of this chapter) Chapter 65: bonus Chapter 65 Additional Harvests The advantage of being a younger secretary is that she can keep up physically and mentally. Sometimes being a secretary needs to run errands back and forth here and there. At least the physical strength of young people will not be too tired to run after running. To sum up, in Lan Shu''s opinion, these conditions must be met to be a secretary. After screening, there are only three people in the factory who meet the standards. Fortunately, this time, the recruitment in the factory is not only internal, but a notice has been posted at the gate of the factory in advance. So, this time, there are eight people who came to run for the secretary of the factory director, including three people from the factory. Among the eight people, there are six men and two women. The youngest is twenty-one, and the oldest is just twenty-five, stuck in the income standard line. Lan Shu is very cautious in choosing the secretary who will work next to her in the future. So for this reason, she also created some special assessment levels. In addition to the first level of questions to test whether the knowledge level of several people is consistent with their academic qualifications, the second level is to test everyone''s resilience, and the last is character. Eight people, four desks, two people at a table, Lan Shu personally set the questions and invigilated the exam. Because it is not a formal exam, she only asked a few questions that can reflect the corresponding learning level. Half an hour later, six of the eight passed. Lan Shu didn''t ask for all the questions to be correct, but she couldn''t know everything. The two eliminated have obviously graduated for a long time, so they have almost forgotten what they have learned. In this level, the 21-year-old applicant girl scored the highest. In the assessment of adaptability, Lan Shu asked everyone a question about the workplace. "If someone calls and wants to order products from our factory, because the leader is not here, you need to introduce the product types and prices. Your purpose is to retain customers and let them successfully place orders. What should you say at this time. " After speaking, Lan Shu handed over a basic introduction and price list of sanitary napkins that she had prepared earlier to the first applicant. Followed by the second digit. "If your leader assigns you a work task, but before that, you are already busy with other work tasks, and you may be overwhelmed by the next task and delay other work, what should you do?" ¡­ "What kind of person do you think is the most difficult to work with at work? If you meet such a person, what kind of method should you use to work with this kind of person?" ¡­ "What should I do if it is not reused by the leader?" ¡­ Lan Shu prepared a lot of questions, and listened to the answers of six people one by one. Among them, a 21-year-old girl with a ponytail answered questions that were not reused by leaders. She said, "Not everyone can be reused by leaders at work. Being reused is just an affirmation of my ability to work by leaders. At work, I will do my job well and strive to be reused by leaders, not Make this the object of my work." There is also a 23-year-old young man, whose answer to another question also satisfies Lan Shu. ¡°For the fact that the leader has assigned many tasks, first of all, I will analyze whether I can complete it. If it cannot be completed, I will report to the leader and explain the reason why it cannot be completed.¡± "If it can be completed, but other conditions are required, I will also explain the situation to the leader and ask the leader for support. If it can be completed through my own ability, such as working overtime, then I will work hard to complete it." There is only one chance, and if you don¡¯t grasp it, it will be gone, so the second round of six-in-two will directly eliminate the other four people. The third level focuses on a person''s character. Lan Shu thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you have many friends around you? Tell me why you make these friends." Whether a person is introverted or extroverted can be seen from the number of friends around him. And what kind of character this person looks like, you can also see from the reasons why he makes friends and the character of his friends. Those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. The appearance of a friend is also a reflection of a part of oneself. The 21-year-old girl with ponytails doesn¡¯t have many friends, only two or three friends are classmates and neighbors. From what she told her friends, Lan Shu could see that the girl had a relatively simple personality. Apart from studying hard with her classmates, she talked about everything with the good sisters who grew up with her neighbors. The twenty-three-year-old youth has a little more friends, six or seven, including classmates, some from childhood, and colleagues who worked together before. The young man¡¯s name is Qu Zhou. He used to work in the machinery factory next door. His daily job content is a part of the production of machine parts. He joined the factory after graduating from high school, working on the assembly line without any room for advancement. He didn''t want to be an assembly line worker for the rest of his life, so he signed up for recruitment after seeing the job advertisement in a nearby paper mill. If he can apply for the position of secretary to the factory director, he will immediately resign from his job at the machinery factory. If it doesn¡¯t work, he doesn¡¯t plan to work in the machinery factory anymore, but plans to prepare well and take the night school next year. Lan Shu could tell that Qu Zhou was a more self-motivated person, and he answered questions comprehensively before. Compared with Tang Chu, a girl with ponytails, Qu Zhou obviously had more work experience and was more suitable for the job of the factory manager''s secretary. . But the girl Tang Chu performed very well, at least Lan Shu felt that she was worthy of being cultivated. So in the end Lan Shu made a decision¡ª "Both of you stay here, Qu Zhou, and you will be my secretary from now on. Tang Chu, I also have a small clothing factory that is in the process of starting a business. I need a secretary who can take care of finances temporarily. Would you like to go? " Although Lan Shu had promoted A Xing to be in charge of the clothing workshop before, A Xing was still able to run errands to buy fabrics, deliver goods, and look after the store. But because of A Xing''s low education, Lan Shu has always been in charge of finances. Adding that during this period of time, Lan Shu''s small clothing workshop has made some money again, and she plans to expand the scale, just as she also lacks people there. When Qu Zhou and Tang Chu heard what Director Lan said, they naturally had no objection. Thus, Lan Shu originally just recruited herself a secretary in a toilet paper factory, but in the end she got the extra reward of Tang Chu~! ¡­ On the other side, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan arrived in Linjiang City from Kyoto, and then transferred to Qingyang County. Along the way, the two hardly spoke, and most of the time they looked at each other in silence. Until getting off the bus and standing on the boundary of Qingyang County, Xu Shan finally couldn''t hold back anymore! The expression on her face was tense, so tense that she even felt pain in her heart. She couldn''t control her emotions, and tears flowed out of her eyes. "If, I mean if, we really had the wrong baby..." Xu Shan didn''t continue to speak. In her opinion, the following words were simply hard to say! ¡ª¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 66: The factory manager is not here Chapter 66 The factory manager is not here When Lan Weicheng was at work, he had the habit of smoking because of entertainment. But he had quit smoking two years ago. But since I learned that there is a girl in Qingyang County who is about the same age as his daughter, and looks like their husband and wife. On the contrary, the daughter they raised for nineteen years is not at all like the two of them... Lan Weicheng couldn''t help picking up the cigarette again because of these troubles that were hard to get rid of. Exhaled heavily the gray smoke inhaled into his lungs, Lan Weicheng paused, and then said to his wife, "I''ll know when I see it." What they can do now is to meet the girl that Mrs. Wei mentioned, and confirm whether she is... "If she is, then our Xinya..." Xu Shan couldn''t accept it. The daughter they raised and loved for nineteen years might not be their biological daughter! "The matter of Xinya...Even if it is confirmed, she was also raised by us, and we will treat her as before." When these words were spoken, Lan Weicheng hadn''t even seen the girl that Mrs. Wei mentioned that looked like their husband and wife. But he was almost certain that it was their biological daughter! "Let''s go, go make a phone call." Lan Weicheng sighed, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative near the station with his wife. Before they left Kyoto, they specifically asked Mrs. Wei for the girl''s contact information. I also learned from Mrs. Wei that the child is now working in a toilet paper factory in the county seat. Thinking of this, both Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan couldn''t help feeling sorry for the child. At the age of nineteen, she should have gone to school or just graduated, but she has already come out to work hard. Before this, the child didn''t know how much hardship he had suffered... If she was raised by them since she was a child, they would definitely not let her be wronged¡ª "well¡­" Lan Weicheng sighed, if that was really their daughter, he had already decided that he would slowly compensate her in the future... ¡­ Tissue paper factory, in the factory director''s office. Qu Zhou just received a phone call that has nothing to do with the factory''s business on his first day as the factory director''s secretary¡ª "Hi, hello, who can I ask?" Qu Zhou asked. "Is it Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory?" "Yes, what can I do?" Qu Zhou responded with the best attitude. "We...we are looking for someone." The other party''s voice was thick, and it sounded like an elderly man. "Yes, she works in your factory." On the other side of the phone, another female voice with a slightly hasty tone rang. As soon as Qu Zhou heard it, he knew that the call had nothing to do with the factory order, but he still asked patiently. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" "Her surname is Lan, she is a girl, she should be nineteen years old, she looks... with a pair of beautiful big eyes!" On the other side of the phone, Lan Weicheng was talking, as if the face of the girl he had never seen before, who was suspected to be their biological daughter, appeared in front of him. When Qu Zhou heard that there was a girl surnamed Lan, she was young and had a pair of beautiful big eyes... The other party is looking for their factory director? "Our factory manager is not here." Qu Zhou replied. Hearing the answer from the toilet paper factory on the phone, Xu Shan, who was listening to the phone with her husband, immediately said, "We are not looking for your factory manager, we are only looking for that girl!" "Our factory manager is really not here." Qu Zhou said, looking through the factory manager''s itinerary for today, and then replied, "If you want to find someone, come back after three o''clock in the afternoon." It is past eleven o''clock at this moment, and although it is only a few hours before three o''clock in the afternoon, the Lan family couple are eager to see people, and they can''t wait. But from what the person who answered the phone said, it seems that they want to find someone, and they need to get the approval of the factory director? This kind of answer made the Lan family couple feel that the director of the toilet paper factory is too strict~! But in order to meet the girl who is suspected to be their daughter, they can only wait patiently. So, at noon, the two of them randomly found a small restaurant near the station, and ate some food absent-mindedly. Then asked along the way, looking in the direction of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. The quickest way for them to meet someone is to go to the factory to find someone! ¡ª ¡­ At two o''clock in the afternoon, near the gate of the toilet paper factory. Lan Shu came to the factory earlier than expected. During the whole morning today, she took Tang Chu, the secretary and accountant of the garment factory recruited yesterday, to learn about the situation of her small workshop. And let Tang Chu be familiar with the various agency points of their small clothing workshop in the county. In addition, Lan Shu''s plan to expand the scale of the clothing workshop has been put on the agenda. After taking Tang Chu out for dinner at noon, she told Tang Chu to go around the county to see where there was a suitable house with a large space. She wanted to turn the small workshop into a real garment factory! For this reason, Lan Shu even borrowed her Phoenix brand bicycle as a bus, so that Tang Chu could have a means of transportation and do things more conveniently. Without her bicycle, Lan Shu could only take the bus to the toilet paper factory. After getting out of the car, she walked towards the factory. These days, the paper mill, which has employees coming in and out through the same gate as the toilet paper mill, has completely shut down. With the lesson from last time, the workers in the paper mill stopped making trouble. Director Zhu would sometimes bring a few factory workers in and out of the factory, trying his best to solve the problem of selling the paper factory¡¯s warehouse inventory. Compared to the paper mill with 200-300 employees, the toilet paper factory only has more than 80 employees. Now it is past the working hours, and there are not many people at the factory gate except for the guard. Lan Shu was about to walk into the factory, but saw two people at the gate stopped by the guard. The two of them, a man and a woman, are not young, about forty years old. The man is wearing a black and gray suit and tie, and he looks like a decent person. The woman had her hair pulled back, wearing small low-heeled black leather shoes, and a dark brown woolen coat. These two people seem to come from a big city in terms of their clothes and temperament. They want to enter the factory? Is it aimed at the paper mill? Or did they come to their toilet paper factory to place an order for purchase? ? Lan Shu was curious, so she walked towards the two of them. "Hello, may I help you?" Standing two meters behind the two, Lan Shu asked aloud. The guard does not allow strangers to enter the factory, but if the two of them really have something to do, she can bring someone in. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan heard the girl''s voice suddenly coming from behind them, they subconsciously turned around and looked at the girl. Originally they really needed help¡ªthey wanted to enter the factory to find someone. But the moment the two saw Lan Shu, Lan Weicheng froze for a moment, and then his eyes were complicated. His wife Xu Shan, who was beside him, burst into tears! (end of this chapter) Chapter 67: Director Blue Chapter 67 Blue Factory Manager When Xu Shan saw the girl at first sight, she saw the shadow of her youth from the girl. Although she hasn''t asked the girl''s name yet, Xu Shan already knows that the person in front of her is the person she and her husband are looking for when they come to Qingyang County this time! Madam Wei is right, she does look like herself! At this moment, Xu Shan didn''t even have to suspect, she was sure that this was her daughter! Not only in appearance. The moment Xu Shan saw the girl, her beating heart seemed to be telling her the answer¡ª¡ª At the same time, Lan Shu stared blankly at the two people in front of her. Actually, she was mainly surprised by the middle-aged woman who started crying when she saw her! Moreover, Lan Shu realized that the other person''s face looked familiar, had he seen her before? "You two...do you need help with anything?" Lan Shu asked again. These words made the middle-aged woman on the opposite side cry even more fiercely¡ª Even the unsmiling middle-aged man beside her had watery eyes at the moment. Lan Shu:? this¡­ What happened? The next second, she suddenly thought of something, and once again set her eyes on the middle-aged woman''s face. She seemed to know why she felt familiar when she saw this woman! Her face is at least three or four points similar to her own appearance! So these two guys... Lan Shu suddenly thought of a possibility¡ª These two people, could they be... the original owner, the real daughter''s biological parents? ? And seeing their reaction at this time, it is obvious that they already know about holding the wrong child back then! Even they came here today to find themselves! ¡ª But judging from the development time of the novel, the original owner was clearly recognized by his biological parents after he was twenty years old? At least eight or nine months away from that time... Lan Shu frowned, what went wrong? Although she had roughly guessed the identities of the two in front of her at this time, according to her personality, she should never know that she was hugged wrong after birth. So after a brief shock, Lan Shu immediately suppressed the strange emotion in her eyes and calmed herself down, only showing a little surprise at the tears of the two. "Did... what happened to you?" She asked softly, as if she didn''t understand the situation. Xu Shan probably noticed that her tears seemed to scare the girl in front of her, so she immediately raised her hand to wipe away the tears with the back of her hand, and then said with a choked voice, "Girl, your surname is Lan, and you work in a toilet paper factory, right? " Although she is asking, Xu Shan is already sure about the answer to this question. "Yes." Lan Shu nodded, "Do you know me?" "We..." Lan Weicheng took a deep breath before continuing, "We are from Kyoto, and we heard about you from Mrs. Wei before." "So it''s Mrs. Wei''s friend." Lan Shu nodded calmly. Seeing that she didn''t know anything, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan felt even more uncomfortable. Thinking that their child was separated from them just after birth, seeing them now is like facing strangers, and the two feel that they have not fulfilled their parental responsibilities and owed their children... Xu Shan couldn''t bear it anymore, and said tearfully, "We are your parents~! Your biological parents!" Besides, Lan Weicheng also had sobs in his voice, his hands trembling as he spoke, "My child, you have been hugged wrongly since you were a child. I have suffered so much for you for so many years..." Lan Shu: ¡­ Although the original owner was raised wrongly since he was a child and did not grow up in front of his biological parents, there is really nothing about suffering. Whether it is the adoptive parents or the three older brothers, they all treat her very well. Also met that scumbag Xu Yunjie, who made the life of the original owner not so smooth. Hearing what the two said, it was time for Lan Shu to show a little surprised expression. "biological parents?" Her reaction will be puzzled and shocked, and the performance will make people see no flaws! "Son, how have you lived these 19 years? Don''t worry, we have found you now, and we will definitely not let you work and suffer in this factory again. We will take you back..." Lan Weicheng didn¡¯t finish his sentence when he was suddenly interrupted by a young female worker walking towards here in a dark gray paper mill worker¡¯s uniform not far away¡ª "Director Lan, you are here, why don''t you go in?" Lan Weicheng:? Who is the other party calling? Even if I run a business, I¡¯m just a boss, not a factory manager. Xu Shan:? Did they meet any acquaintances in Qingyang County? But why did the other party call him Director Lan? Soon, the couple heard their daughter who had been separated for more than ten years in front of them turn around and reply to the speaker, "I just came, and I am going in." Saying that, Lan Shu turned to the original owner''s parents and said, "If you have something to say, why don''t you go to my office and talk about it?" Standing at the gate of the factory crying and confessing to relatives, it was too eye-catching. The parents of the original owner are not young anymore. She is thinking of the two of them, and she also thinks it is not good for them to be watched by others later. Now, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan finally understood who the passer-by was referring to by the phrase "Director Lan" just now! They just thought that their daughter must have suffered a lot growing up in the countryside and working in the county. But now, their daughter is not working hard in the factory, but is the factory manager? ! Even though this matter sounds unbelievable, Lan Weicheng still confirmed the identity of their daughter in this factory with Lan Shu''s words, "Go and talk to me in my office." Lan Weicheng: ¡­ He just opened a few counters in the Kyoto shopping mall to do business, but his daughter has already become the factory manager! ¡ª ¡­ Ten minutes later, Lan Shengli and Xu Shan, led by Lan Shu, walked into the toilet paper factory and sat in the factory manager''s office. After some understanding, Lan Shengli found out that his daughter is really the director of this factory! What''s more, Xu Shan discovered that a new item that has been emerging in the women''s circle in Kyoto a while ago¡ªsanitary napkins¡ªis actually produced in her daughter''s factory! ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkins haven''t been distributed in Kyoto yet, so even if Xu Shan uses them herself, she entrusts the National People''s Congress to buy them from neighboring provinces. This thing is a rare thing in Kyoto, but my daughter''s factory is the manufacturer! Both Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were shocked by what they saw and knew! "Then these years... how have you been?" Lan Weicheng asked. Although my daughter looks very good now, it doesn¡¯t mean that she had a good life when she was a child. Lan Weicheng is very concerned about his child''s previous life. When asked, Lan Shu nodded. "It''s a good life. Our family is considered a wealthy family in the village. I didn''t have to worry about food and drink when I was a child. I can often eat meat. After growing up, my three brothers went to work one after another. They are all very capable. They come back every year. Take me to the mall to buy and buy." (end of this chapter) Chapter 68: Wrong Chapter 68 I''m wrong Lan Shu mentioned a few words about the life of the original owner over the years. Knowing that their daughter did not suffer, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan heaved a sigh of relief. Then Lan Weicheng asked again, "Your parents...are Lan Shengli and his wife?" Actually, when Lan Weicheng heard Mrs. Wei say that the girl who looked like their husband and wife was in Qingyang County and her surname was Lan, Lan Weicheng guessed that her daughter might be raised by her cousin''s family. Lan Weicheng still remembers that nineteen years ago, he brought his wife who was nine months pregnant to Qingyang County to visit relatives at his cousin''s house, but his wife suddenly had a stomachache right after arriving in Qingyang County. They didn''t have time to reach their cousin''s house, so they went directly to the county hospital. That night, his wife gave birth to their daughter. I think at that time, my cousin''s family should also be waiting for their child to be born in the hospital, but the two of them didn''t meet each other. Because their cousins ??have the same surname Lan, so the nurse picked up the baby by mistake when she was carrying the baby to scrub? At that time, his wife had just given birth and was weak. They were too far away from Kyoto to go home, so Lan Weicheng decided to let his wife stay in the hospital for a month. He was busy taking care of her, cooking meals in the cafeteria every day, making his wife confinement. Later, when the child was full moon, the husband and wife took the child to the village around Qingyang County, where the cousin¡¯s family was located. At that time, he and his wife learned that his cousin had recently added a daughter to his family. Thinking about it this way, everything makes sense¡ª "Yes." Lan Shu nodded and replied, then asked again, "Do you know my parents?" Of course Lan Weicheng knows him! He immediately told Lan Shu what he had just guessed. Knowing what happened nineteen years ago, Lan Shu has a more detailed understanding of the reason why the real and the fake daughters exchanged families in the novel. Her voice paused, "So you are really sure that I am your child, and I was hugged wrong when I was a child?" Regarding this question, Lan Weicheng nodded seriously. "I will tell my cousin Shengli about this matter. We found you, and they should also know that their biological daughter was mistaken and left them for nineteen years." Lan Shu has no right to speak about the possibility that the two families will exchange their children. She just knew that the fact that the real daughter was found by her biological parents was greatly advanced in time! It turns out that what happens in the novel world can be changed~ This made Lan Shu more confident in changing her situation as a fake daughter in the control group, and in changing the future of Xiaobai''s villain! Next, Lan Shu used the phone in the factory to call the village head''s family, and asked the village head''s family to help her get in touch with her eldest brother, and told her about relatives coming from Beijing. Lan Dazhuang was working in the field. When he received the news, he immediately asked for leave from the village brigade, and drove a tractor to the county town to pick up people. While there was still some time, Lan Shu and Secretary Qu explained the work arrangement of the toilet paper factory for the next two days. There are other things that Secretary Qu needs to tell Secretary Tang at her clothing workshop later. After Lan Dazhuang arrived, Lan Shu followed Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan and his wife on a tractor and went back to the village¡ª ¡­ In the evening, the tractor drove to Tianshui Village with the sound of ''chug chug...''. Lan Shu was sitting on the iron sheet board attached to the back of the tractor, and the noise in her ears didn''t affect her breathing the fresh air in the village at all. She stayed in the county for more than two months. When she left the village, the village was still green everywhere. Now back, in the grass on both sides of the road, the weeds have withered and yellow, and the leaves under the trees are everywhere. Lan''s house, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang had already returned home in the middle of the afternoon. They got news that Lan Shengli''s cousin who was far away in Kyoto was coming to visit him in the countryside. Lan Shengli naturally wanted to come back in advance and make good preparations to welcome his cousin who came from afar. Chang Chunfang took out the bacon at home, soaked another handful of dried vegetables, and planned to make bacon stir-fried with dried vegetables at night. Lan Shengli went to the back mountain, picked a big chicken from his free-range chicken farm, came back, butchered, plucked and washed it, and prepared to stew the chicken for dinner. There is Chinese cabbage at home. My daughter made vinegared cabbage for them when they were at home. It tastes very good. Chang Chunfang learned it and learned it easily. People in the village eat two meat dishes and one vegetarian meal, and the three dishes are almost the same. In addition to these dishes, Chang Chunfang cooked another pot of rice soup. We are going to have visitors at home. We put a lot of rice in the pot today. The rice soup boiled in the ground pot is sticky, and the rice fragrance can be smelled from far away. When Lan Shu came home, she could smell the delicious food at home. When they reached the door of their house, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan got off the tractor, and saw that the Lan family had actually built a large tile-roofed house in the village over the years. He smelled the smell of food wafting in the nearby air just now, and it came from Lan''s house. It was only then that the husband and wife believed what Lan Shu said. Her family was considered a wealthy family, and she had never experienced hardship since she was a child. At home, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang heard the sound of their tractor coming back, and immediately walked out of the yard to greet them at the gate. Seeing the people outside the door, Lan Shengli didn''t expect that not only his cousin and his sister-in-law came this time, but his own daughter also came back from the county with her! Lan Shengli glanced at his daughter, then turned his gaze to Lan Weicheng. Although he hadn''t seen him for nineteen years, Lan Shengli still recognized his cousin standing next to his tractor at a glance. The reason why he was willing to go to the countryside for his cousin back then was not only because his family was poor, but also to get rid of his lazy father who always had nothing to do and beat and scolded him. Come to the countryside from far away, his father can get a sum of money, enough to spend for a period of time, and Lan Shengli can be regarded as living a comfortable life. And most importantly, he also met his daughter-in-law Chang Chunfang in the village. Although life in the village was far from that in the city at first. At the beginning, he was a young man in the city who suddenly wanted to farm and work. He was really not used to it and suffered a lot. But in the end, all the hardships paid off, and now he is doing well in the village. So for his cousin, Lan Shengli is actually grateful. At this time, the two cousins ??met each other, and they were very excited. Especially Lan Weicheng¡ª Lan Weicheng stepped forward and looked at his older cousin, who was already showing signs of aging. He sighed slightly and said, "Brother Shengli, I''m here this time to tell you something." "Let''s go, let''s go inside and talk about something." Lan Shengli was very enthusiastic. Relatives came all the way to their village. He was in a high mood, patted his cousin on the shoulder, and immediately beckoned people to go into the house. Lan Weicheng also felt that the door was not a good place to talk, so he took his wife in together. Soon, several people sat down in the main hall. Chang Chunfang brought her son to serve the meals prepared in the kitchen. Lan Shu, as usual, doesn''t have to do any work at home, just sit at the table and wait for dinner. So she happened to listen to the entire conversation between the original owner''s father and adoptive father. (end of this chapter) Chapter 69: Pension management Chapter 69 Pension Management After sitting down, Lan Weicheng spoke straight to the point, "Brother Shengli, nineteen years ago, sister-in-law gave birth in the county hospital, right?" "Yes." Lan Shengli nodded, wondering why his cousin suddenly asked this? Hearing Lan Shengli''s answer, Lan Weicheng no longer had any doubts. He immediately said, "Brother, we had the wrong child at the time. In fact, Shushu is my daughter, and your biological daughter was brought back to Kyoto by us and has been raised until now..." "What did you say?!" Lan Shengli was startled, "My daughter is actually your daughter?" He couldn''t believe it, his eyes widened in surprise! About the fact that the two children were taken care of wrongly, Lan Weicheng explained again, and explained the details of his guess. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, who had just brought food into the room, realized it. Lan Dazhuang on the side never thought that his sister is not his real sister, and his real sister is someone else? This made Lan Dazhuang feel very complicated... The reason for this complexity is not because he knew that the younger sister was not his own sister, so he became estranged with the younger sister. It was because Lan Dazhuang felt uncomfortable because he suddenly had another biological sister. In his heart, the younger sister is the best younger sister, no one can compare to her! But if I think so, will it be unfair to my sister? So Lan Dazhuang was entangled... He feels that this matter cannot be entangled by himself. He plans to go to the county seat early tomorrow morning, call the second and third brothers in the supply and marketing cooperative, and tell them about this matter, so that they can also struggle with it! Well, that''s it! At the dinner table, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang couldn''t believe this statement! But when the two saw his sister-in-law Xu Shan sitting next to Lan Weicheng, the doubts in their hearts were disintegrated in an instant! All along, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t pay much attention to who their precious daughter looked like. Because their daughter has been fat since she was a child, she couldn''t see it at all before. But now, the daughter''s appearance is slim, and she looks like her sister-in-law everywhere! Now, even if they can''t accept it, they still have to accept that the baby girl they raised is really not their biological child! Thinking of this, Chang Chunfang immediately covered her face and began to cry... She felt uncomfortable. One is that she feels that her daughter is not her own child, and she will definitely be taken away from her by her cousin and sister-in-law. Secondly, I feel sad that my biological daughter did not grow up beside them. Lan Shengli was also in a bad mood. He sighed, patted the back of the daughter-in-law next to him, and comforted him silently. Lan Dazhuang saw his parents like this. He had already figured out whether his younger sister was his real sister, but now he was infected by his parents'' emotions, which made him feel uncomfortable. In the end, except for Lan Shu, everyone at the table couldn''t finish the sumptuous meal that welcomed guests from afar. Even Lan Dazhuang, who always eats a lot, felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was not right, so he ate a lot less than usual. That night, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan lived in Lan''s house. ¡­ The next day, after a night of emotional digestion, Lan Shengli and Lan Weicheng''s cousins ??sat down for another meal. It was only then that they officially brought up the matter of holding the child wrongly. "After we brought the child back, we named him Lan Xinya. Xinya came from a very good background. She was polite and sensible since she was a child. She also went to college and majored in accounting." Lan Weicheng mentioned his daughter in Kyoto. "Xinya doesn''t know about the fact that we had the wrong baby. After we go back this time, we will find an opportunity to tell her." Xu Shan took the topic from the side. "It''s just that Xinya has lived in the city since she was a child, and she may not be used to life in the village, so if you agree, I hope Xinya can continue to live in the city. We will always take care of her and will not let her Suffer the slightest grievance." Although Xu Shan found her biological daughter, the 19-year relationship with her adopted daughter is not just gone. She already treats Xinya as her own biological child. Xu Shan has already figured it out. When her biological daughter returns home, she and Xinya will be good sisters. With their family¡¯s financial conditions, raising two children is not a problem at all~! After hearing Xu Shan''s words, even though Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang knew that this arrangement was the best for their biological daughter, they still couldn''t help but feel disappointed. Maybe it won''t be long before their baby Shushu will return to Kyoto with her cousin. In addition, his biological daughter could not come back. In the future, the two children will not be by their side... Lan Shengli lowered his head, sighing over the result. Lan Shu could feel the distress of her adoptive parents, and also understood what they were thinking at the moment. Although she was recognized by Lan Weicheng and his wife, she has her own plans and arrangements for her future life, and it is impossible to just go back to Kyoto with the Lan family and his wife. So Lan Shu, who was eating, put down her chopsticks. She swallowed the food in her mouth, took a sip of water, and said to her biological parents in front of her. "I still have two factories in Qingyang County to manage, and I can''t go back with you for the time being. After I arrange things in the factory, I will go to Kyoto to visit you during the Chinese New Year." As she spoke, she looked at her adoptive parents again, "Dad, Mom, although you are not my biological parents, in my heart, you are the same as my biological parents." "I was raised by you, no matter what, you will always be my parents." Lan Shu''s words moved Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli''s eyes to well up. Then she continued, "The past mistakes have passed and cannot be changed. From then on, I will treat it as having four elders. In the future, when you four are old, I will take care of the care of the elderly!" What Lan Shu said was from her heart, not just to reassure her adoptive parents and biological parents. Since she came to this world and became Lanshu here, as a child, she will fulfill her duty to support her parents. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are in a much better mood after hearing from their daughter that she is not leaving yet. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan already knew that their biological daughter had a factory in the county. But now, according to what my daughter said, she doesn''t just have one factory? Just now, Lan Weicheng was still thinking about treating Shushu well after returning to Kyoto, raising his daughter in the future, and not letting her suffer. But now it seems that their daughter is more capable than him as a father? Lan Weicheng suddenly felt pressured... The money he made at those counters in the mall in Kyoto might not be as much as his daughter... This made Lan Weicheng determined that he must work harder to make money after returning home! To create a better life for my daughter¡ª A new round of PK has started again, please vote for it~! Then- Thank you for letting the heart be happy and flying for rewarding 300 book coins. Thank you Shanfeng Wanwan~ for rewarding 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 70: scale up Chapter 70 Scaling up In the afternoon, Lan Shu asked her eldest brother to drive her back to the county seat with a tractor. The factory has been quite busy recently, and she can''t leave for too long. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also returned to Qingyang County together. The two came here because they wanted to spend more time with their biological daughter. Secondly, they promised Lan Shengli and his wife that they would tell Xinya what had happened as soon as possible after returning home, so that Xinya could go back to the village and meet her biological parents when she was free. Lan Weicheng and his wife were leaving, but Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t persuade them to stay for a few more days. What happened in the past two days is really shocking and subversive! Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were not in a high mood, and they were really in no mood to continue entertaining guests. So Lan Shengli feels that if the cousin and his wife want to go back, let¡¯s go back~ After arriving at the county seat, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan stayed in Qingyang County for another day, and then both returned to Kyoto. As soon as the daughter came back here, she went to the factory to keep busy. It was really a hindrance for them to stay by her side. After the daughter promised to go to Kyoto to see them during the Chinese New Year, the two reluctantly got into the car and left Qingyang County. After sending away her biological parents, Lan Shu almost didn''t pause, and plunged into her career again. Yesterday afternoon, Secretary Tang had already reported to her the results of searching for a suitable factory building in the county in the past two days. There is a small idle factory near the machinery factory not far from the toilet paper factory. The machinery factory used to store small machinery in the earliest days. Later, the machinery factory built a new factory building, and the old small factory building was left idle. The idle small factory building is not in the machinery factory yard, but has a small yard of its own. The factory building is spacious, about five to six hundred square meters in size, very suitable for use as a garment factory. After seeing off her parents the next day, Lan Shu followed Secretary Tang to check on the situation. After observing around, she also felt that this place was very suitable. So that morning, she went directly to the person in charge of the machinery factory and proposed to rent the idle factory building. At the machinery factory, if someone wants to rent their idle factory building, they only need to go through a process. But recently, the efficiency of the machinery factory has become worse and worse than before. When the factory is short of money, the rent will be looked down upon. Five to six hundred square meters of factory buildings are rented out, at most forty to fifty yuan a month. But the machinery factory needs more money! The person who met Lan Shu at the machinery factory was a thin, middle-aged man in his forties with a mustache. His surname was Li, and his name was Li Qiang. Li Qiang knew that Lan Shu was the director of the toilet paper factory next door, and thought of the benefits of the toilet paper factory that made other factories jealous, so Li Qiang proposed¡ª "The idle warehouse next to our factory is not leased. If Director Lan is sincere, he will sell it to you for 1,200 yuan." Lan Shu didn''t think about buying real estate at all before this. Although she knows that buying real estate in this era, even if it is in a county town, is guaranteed to make a profit. But because her small clothing workshop has just started and there is not much money on hand, she has never considered buying a house, nor has she inquired about the housing price. Now, it is only 1200 square meters for a warehouse with an area of ??500 or 600 square meters, which is far beyond her expectations! This is so cheap! Then she thought about it, probably people in this era don''t think much about the land when selling houses. What they sell is a house built on land, and the land is not of much value to them, and it is almost the same as the gift. Seeing Director Lan in a daze, Director Li Qiang from the machinery factory thought his quotation was too high? So he hesitated for a while, and finally quoted a reserve price¡ª¡ª "Director Lan, this warehouse will give you a minimum of 150 yuan cheaper, no less!" After Li Qiang finished speaking, Lan Shu immediately replied, "Deal!" Li Qiang:? He slowly made a question mark in his heart. I just...was the quotation too low? ¡­ In the afternoon of the same day, Lan Shu signed a contract with the machinery factory to purchase a factory building. Bought a total of nearly 600 square meters of factory buildings for 1,050 yuan. And when I bought the factory building, I also gave away a yard of about 300 square meters. As for the transfer of the factory building, the process has also begun. When she got the certificate of purchasing the factory building the next day, Lan Shu couldn''t help but sigh in her heart, buying a house for her is really almost like picking a leak... ¡­ After having a factory building, Lan Shu''s original small clothing workshop moved to the factory soon. Before moving, she paid five sewing machine women workers in the garment workshop five yuan each, and they spent half a day cleaning the dusty workshop. Waiting until the day when all five sewing machines and fabric shelves were moved into the factory building, Lan Shu bought five new sewing machines and sent them to the factory together. There are ten sewing machines, and her original small clothing workshop can barely be called a small clothing factory. With sewing machines, workers should also have them. A few days earlier, Xie Xiaoju started contacting about job recruitment according to Lan Shu''s request. The workers recruited today came to the factory together, including five female sewing machine workers, and two board-making masters who have experience in clothes cutting and pattern making. Seven people can start working on the same day. The scale of the garment factory has expanded, and external sales must also keep up. So Lan Shu specially recruited a few salespeople. Among them, most of them are male workers, and their main job content is to go out of Qingyang County and develop agents in various surrounding counties, as well as shopping malls and large clothing stores in Linjiang City. The more agents there are, the more clothes they sell, and the scale of their factory can grow bigger and bigger. In order to make the clothes of her own factory famous, Lan Shu also put labels on the clothes coming out of the factory while expanding the size of the factory. She believes that in the future, the fame of "Yunshu" clothing will also be spread like a toilet paper factory, and it will be known to everyone¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, the Gu family. Five days ago, Gu, Lan, and the two discussed the engagement of Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya but failed to reach an agreement, which made Gu Cheng very dissatisfied with the elders in the family. He asked his parents why they and the Lan family didn''t set an engagement date for him and Xinya. But the answer I got was an ambiguous sentence from my father, "Wait a minute." Gu Cheng is not stupid, he knows there must be some reason for this! Could it be that Wei Qiushuang disagreed? But the Lan family doesn''t have any overly prominent backers, and it''s just a group of people who have made a fortune in Kyoto in the past two years in business. Even if I and Xinya get married, the Lan family has not become a force to help me, and I will definitely not affect or even overshadow Gu Jue''s limelight. So Gu Cheng couldn''t think of the reason why Wei Qiushuang disagreed! In the past few days, the relationship between him and Xinya has also changed somewhat because of the unclear attitude of the two elders. Although the two still maintained their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend, but every time they saw Xinya''s unhappy appearance, Gu Cheng gradually became psychologically resistant to his parents'' reaction. So at noon today, he went home directly from the company, so he must ask his parents for clarification! (end of this chapter) Chapter 71: Is it true? Chapter 71 Is it true? Gu family, at the dining table in the living room. Wei Qiushuang made dumplings for his son today. Dumplings stuffed with pork, scallion and radish, cooked and served in a big bowl, the first bowl was given to my son first. This kind of treatment is not available to Gu Anguo who comes home from get off work at noon for dinner. Gu Anguo didn''t care either, he knew how much the disappearance of his son had hit his wife this time. The amnesiac son, let alone his wife, even felt distressed when he saw it, and couldn''t help wanting to treat his son better. So these days, his wife cooks delicious food for her son in different ways, wanting him to eat the first bite first, Gu Anguo has become accustomed to it. Three bowls of dumplings had just been brought to the table. Wei Qiushuang was looking sideways at her son, waiting for him to eat the dumplings and tell her if they tasted good when someone knocked on the door of the house¡ª Hearing the movement, Gu Anguo put down his chopsticks and went to open the door, while Wei Qiushuang still looked at his son without blinking, waiting for his son to eat. Xiaobai couldn''t bear to be stared at by his mother. He was about to say to his mother, ''Mom, you eat too. '' So that mom can divert her attention, don''t just stare at him, but hear a familiar voice from outside the door¡ª "Dad! I''m already twenty-six this year, don''t you want me to start a family earlier?" Gu Cheng said, his voice raised a lot higher than usual. In this house, although Gu Cheng moved out by himself, he always has the house key. But he didn''t have the habit of carrying the keys with him, so even when he went back to his own home, he would knock on the door and enter the house. When Gu Anguo opened the door just now, he just asked casually, "Didn''t you bring the key?" Let Gu Cheng''s temper be ignited instantly! He directly asked his father angrily, when would he go to Lan''s house to discuss his and Lan Xinya''s engagement date. Gu Anguo just hesitated for a while, and then heard Gu Cheng''s questioning words! Hearing the sound, Wei Qiushuang immediately walked out of the room. Xiaobai just raised his eyes, looked over the window of the living room and looked at the yard, feeling that it had nothing to do with him, so he immediately bowed his head to eat. Only by finishing the meal before the mother comes back, can the mother not be stared at the whole meal. Outside the door, Gu Anguo still told his son to wait, Wei Qiushuang helped to persuade him a few words, but got Gu Cheng''s complaining gaze. Wei Qiushuang felt that she had raised her adopted son with all her heart since he was a child, without any deviation. At this time, she was just telling Gu Cheng not to get angry and calm down, but she was looked at by the other party with such eyes! Wei Qiushuang felt very wronged. After more than ten years of care and dedication, the child she raised seemed to have raised a white-eyed wolf! "Since you want to know the reason, then I will tell you!" Wei Qiushuang was a little angry. She was thinking of Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng didn''t appreciate it at all, so she might as well do what Gu Cheng wanted, let Gu Cheng know the truth, and make her own decision! "What''s going on?" Finally wanting to know the reason, Gu Cheng frowned, waiting for the answer. Gu Anguo on the side didn''t want to tell the situation so early. But seeing that his wife and son were about to have a conflict because of this, he was silent for a moment and decided not to block his wife''s decision. But if he wants to talk about this matter, he should also say it. He knew that his son had some grudges against his wife, and it would be better for him to explain. But before speaking, he still has a few questions to ask his son. "Gu Cheng, you are sincere to the Lan family''s daughter, right?" "Of course." Gu Cheng replied without hesitation. "Are you sure you like her, not because of her family conditions?" Gu Anguo asked again. Hearing this question, Gu Cheng burst out laughing with a ''chi-''. "Dad, you have been working all the time. You probably don''t know how big my business is now. I already have two to three hundred thousand in my hand. Although the Lan family is also in business, the speed of making money is far behind me, so I There is no need to covet the conditions of their family." Hearing what his son said, Gu Anguo was amazed that his son was so profitable in business! On the one hand, he felt a little relieved that the relationship between his son and the daughter of the Lan family was not mixed with other things. "That''s good." He nodded and continued, "To tell you the truth, in fact, the little girl Lan Xinya from the Lan family is probably not the biological daughter of Lan Weicheng and his wife." "Because we haven''t confirmed who her biological parents are, we didn''t agree to make an engagement between you two." Hearing this answer, Gu Cheng was immediately stunned! "What do you mean?" He didn''t react for a while, and he was a little puzzled. And how did his dad know about this matter in someone else''s house? Since the situation has been explained, Gu Anguo is not hiding it, and told about Wei Qiushuang''s encounter with that girl named Lan Shu in Linjiang City some time ago. "So, the girl who lived in the county town or even the countryside since she was a child is the biological daughter of the Lan family, and Xinya''s parents are from a small place?" Gu Cheng finally knew that his parents had concealed things from him, and asked him to go back to her. And so on. At first, he still had some complaints about his father and Wei Qiushuang, but now that he has spoken, the complaints are gone. Regarding this, although he said that the engagement with Xinya was not for Xinya''s family, but it was also based on the good family background of the Lan family. If Xinya''s parents were just poor people from a small place... Gu Cheng hesitated a little. His biological mother was a woman from the village, so he had a group of poor relatives and nieces. Even though he is far away in Kyoto, after hearing that he has developed in the past two years, some poor relatives in the family have come all the way to ask him to introduce jobs. Gu Cheng has a particularly bad impression of poor relatives, and he worries that Xinya''s biological parents will be like that... He doesn''t mind whether Xinya''s family is rich or poor, but he does care about the troubles that the poor relatives behind Xinya may bring to him in the future! Gu Cheng lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, struggled several times in his heart, and finally made a decision. "Dad, Xinya and I are engaged. After we find her biological parents, everything will go on as usual." "Even if she comes from a bad background, I only like her." Gu Cheng said. He figured it out, as long as he has money, even if he really meets a poor relative, he can just use the money to get rid of it. Gu Anguo was very pleased to hear that his son was so dedicated to his feelings. Behind them, Xiao Bai, who quickly finished his meal and walked out of the house, listened to what he just said¡ª It was only then that Xiaobai was shocked to learn that Sister Lan''s biological parents were from Kyoto! If Sister Lan hadn¡¯t been wronged at the beginning, but grew up in Kyoto, then maybe the person his brother is going to marry now is Sister Lan... Such thoughts made Xiao Bai frown. Just thinking about it, he felt very repelled deep down in his heart! Fortunately, such a thing did not happen! (end of this chapter) Chapter 72: Spread the market Chapter 72 Spread the Market But soon, Xiaobai thought that even if Sister Lan didn''t marry his brother, she would still be with other men in the future. Although Sister Lan has been divorced, she is still young, beautiful, and capable, and she cannot live alone for a lifetime. Thinking that there will be other men by Sister Lan''s side in the future, and at that time, I have to stay far away to avoid suspicion, Xiaobai feels very uncomfortable and irritable! At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly felt that his thoughts were very selfish! He selfishly does not want Sister Lan to join hands with any man to achieve happiness... Xiao Bai lowered his head, he even began to dislike himself like this. If Sister Lan knew what she was thinking, she would definitely hate herself, right? ... ¡­ On the other side, Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. Lan Shu didn''t know everything that happened in Kyoto. She was busy with the garment factory, and then the new model of sanitary napkin manufacturing accessories ordered by the toilet paper factory from abroad arrived. Two machines in the factory continue to produce 240MM sanitary napkins, and the other machine has replaced accessories to produce night-use sanitary napkins with an extended model of 290MM. As for the 200MM and 360MM sanitary napkins, there are no idle machines for production yet. Lan Shu intends to produce a night-use 290MM on the basis of the previous 240MM, and produce a set of day and night sanitary napkins. In the sanitary napkin production workshop, just as the production of 290MM started, Lan Shu saw Secretary Qu running towards her in a hurry. "Factory Manager! I just received a call. There is a toilet paper factory in Chiping City next to our Linjiang City. It is also transformed into sanitary napkins!" Qu Zhou looked anxious. He had just been the factory director''s secretary for a few days, and he encountered such a big event! Once the other party''s factory produces sanitary napkins of the same type as theirs, they will be their huge competitors in the future! When Lan Shu heard the news, she was slightly taken aback¡ª Although she has known for a long time that after the sales of sanitary napkins spread, other factories will definitely follow their products. But she didn''t expect the other party to move so fast! From the purchase of sanitary napkin production machines to the proficiency in using the machines to produce sanitary napkins for sale, it took at least half a month. The products in their factory have been sold for only two months in total, that is to say, when their factory''s ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkins have been sold for more than a month, the other factory decisively followed suit and decided to make products! From this point of view, the person in charge of that factory is quite courageous. But even if someone follows suit and produces the same products as their factory, Lan Shu is not worried. She confessed to Secretary Qu, "From now on, let all the sales in the factory go out, and promote our products in big cities such as Kyoto, Haicheng, and Yuanping!" "I need them to find as many sales outlets in those cities as possible within a week, and spread our products in large quantities!" She wants to let the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin pass the preconceived impression into the eyes of the people in those big cities. After letting them know about Yunrou sanitary napkins, when they see other brands of sanitary napkins, they will most likely choose the first impression. "In addition, our night-use sanitary napkins are produced first and not sold. When the other party starts selling sanitary napkins, we will launch the day-night combination to gain a wave of popularity!" Qu Zhou recorded all the arrangements of Director Lan. Originally, he was worried that other factories would learn from them, which would affect the sales of their factories. But now, seeing that Director Lan is not panicked at all, and even seems to be confident when he gives the assignment, even Qu Zhou''s nervous mood has calmed down. He suddenly had the feeling that ''I am number one in the world'' no one is afraid of! With the factory manager Lan here, their factory will definitely continue to expand in scale, and their profits will continue to flourish! What Secretary Qu didn''t know was that the expansion of the factory in the future that he was thinking in his mind was already planned to go online in Lanshu''s plan! Although they just added two sanitary napkin production machines to their factory, they have to distribute the goods in several big cities at the same time, and the sanitary napkins produced in their factory may be out of stock! So Lan Shu is already considering adding more machines¡ª "Secretary Qu, go to the financial side to calculate how much cash we have in our factory, keep the workers'' salary for one month, and report the remaining money to me in an hour." She plans to buy machines if she has money in her account. Maybe others won''t understand her behavior of spending all the money she has, but in Lan Shu''s view, money can only be made when money makes money. Only by spending the money can she create greater value and earn more money! That afternoon, after learning that the factory had more than 20,000 yuan in the account, Lan Shu did not hesitate to make an international phone call directly to ask Mark to order the machine! On the phone, she told Mark that she hoped that the factory selling the machines could accept part of the credit. This time she wanted to order two machines, but she could only pay 20,000 yuan for the time being. Because their paper mill is already an old customer of the other party, and the paper mill guarantees that in addition to the 20,000 cash for the purchase of the machine, the remaining 12,000 credits will be paid off within three months. In addition, Mark was willing to guarantee his friend Lan Shu, so the purchase process of the two machines went smoothly. After about a week or so, the number of machines producing sanitary napkins in their toilet paper factory can reach five! Compared to the toilet paper factory in Chiping City that has just transitioned to produce sanitary napkins, the other party will definitely not buy more than one machine at a time. A factory with only one machine, even if it is turned on day and night, will never be able to reach the level of spreading the market in terms of production quantity. When the ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkin is well known in China, it will be too late for the other party to expand the scale and increase production~! Consumers will only know the popularity of ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkins. As for other brands of sanitary napkins, it is not easy to open the market after missing the opportunity¡ª ¡­ At the same time, Kyoto, Lan''s house. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan worked hard all the way, and finally arrived home in the evening. The two left home for the past few days and did not tell anyone where they went. Even Lan Xinya didn''t know her parents'' itinerary. Lan Xinya only remembers the day her parents left, her face was gloomy, as if she was in a bad mood. But when they came back today, although the two looked tired, their brows and eyes were stretched, and they looked relaxed. It was obvious that the things that bothered them had been resolved. Lan Xinya was wondering where her parents had been these past few days, but she found that her mother''s eyes suddenly became tense when she looked at her. "Mom, is there something wrong with you?" Lan Xinya was very concerned about her mother''s reaction. Since she was young, her mother has loved her the most, even though she may not be her mother''s biological daughter, but Lan Xinya believes that her mother will definitely feel her concern for her mother. Even if one day the mother knows that she is not her own, she will look at their mother-daughter relationship and will not abandon herself. Although I haven¡¯t saved the manuscript yet, I still added an update, because the data is good, so I have the motivation to code words, hehe~ Little cuties remember to vote~(`) (end of this chapter) Chapter 73: Inform ones life experience Chapter 73 Informs one''s life experience Xu Shan didn''t feel uncomfortable at all, she just didn''t know how to tell Xinya about Xinya''s life experience after seeing her daughter. When they left Tianshui Village, Qingyang County, they promised Lan''s cousin and sister-in-law that they would tell their biological daughters about it as soon as possible. I didn''t find it difficult when I agreed, but now I want to say it, but I can''t say it... Xu Shan knew that if Xinya knew that she was not their biological daughter, she would be very sad, and could not even accept this fact¡ª Besides, Lan Weicheng was also struggling and hesitating, not knowing what to say. Now, Lan Xinya finally saw that her parents were hesitant to speak! "What''s the matter?" Lan Xinya''s voice was sweet, and at this moment, her questioning tone sounded particularly pitiful and innocent. This made Xu Shan even more soft-hearted, and she couldn''t bear to tell her daughter, the truth that was absolutely cruel to her! But this matter cannot be ignored. So Lan Weicheng sighed helplessly, looked at his daughter, "Xinya, there is something..." "Let me do the talking." Xu Shan immediately took the conversation. Instead of asking her husband to be straightforward and tell the situation without embellishment, she felt that it would be more acceptable for her daughter to tell her little by little at this time. "Xinya, this time I went out with your father to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County. Our family has a relative there who is your father''s cousin." "Do you remember when you asked me about your birth?" "Nineteen years ago, I gave birth to you in Qingyang County Hospital. At that time, your father''s cousin''s family also gave birth to a baby in the hospital. Something happened in the middle, and when we were in the hospital, our two families I hugged the wrong child..." As Xu Shan said, she was so sad that she didn''t dare to look into her daughter''s eyes. And Lan Xinya had already guessed the result after hearing her mother say that mother and father were going to Qingyang County! Although she knew that such a day would come sooner or later, Lan Xinya did not expect this day to come so soon! Parents have found their biological daughter, so what will they do with themselves next? Thinking that I may have to leave my parents and Kyoto because I am not my own... Lan Xinya lowered her head, tears rolling down on the ground under her feet. Seeing their daughter like this, both Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng felt distressed for their daughter. But this is also a fact, a fact they cannot hide. At this moment, the couple didn''t even realize that after their daughter learned that she was not their own, the first reaction was not shock and disbelief, but tears of grievance¡ª "Xinya..." Seeing her daughter crying, Xu Shan couldn''t help holding her daughter in her arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her. "Xinya is fine. Even if you are not our biological daughter, we will treat you as our own daughter. I have already told your biological parents that I hope they will allow you to live in Kyoto." When Lan Xinya heard these words, most of the worries in her heart were instantly let go! Parents are still willing to keep her, so... that''s fine. So she came out of her mother''s arms, pretending to be strong and wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "Mom, I''m glad you and Dad didn''t want me because I wasn''t yours..." These words were spoken in Lan Xinya''s sweet voice, which made people feel distressed beyond words. "Silly boy, how could we not want you? You will always be our daughter." Besides, Lan Weicheng also patted his daughter on the shoulder, and said in a serious tone. ¡­ The next morning, Kyoto, Gu''s family. Gu Cheng only learned from his father yesterday that his girlfriend Lan Xinya is not the biological daughter of the Lan family. Today, the two elders of the Lan family brought Xinya to their home. After Gu Cheng received a call from his girlfriend at the company, he immediately went home. Downstairs in the living room, the two families sat together. Regarding the fact that the Gu family wanted to marry the Lan family, the Lan family couple talked about their daughter. If Xinya is their biological daughter, and the daughter and the eldest son of the Gu family like each other, then they agree. But now that Xinya is Lan Weicheng''s cousin''s daughter, Xinya''s marriage should be discussed between the Gu family and her cousin''s family. Knowing this, Gu Cheng frowned slightly. Although he wants to get engaged to his girlfriend, he doesn''t want to go to the country for it. Let¡¯s not say that he has a lot of things around him, and he is busy with business, so he can¡¯t leave. After leaving, who knows what kind of wonderful people he will meet in the countryside? At that time, if some relatives of the girlfriend pester him to give him a job introduction, it will be very disturbing. Gu Cheng didn''t want to go to Lan Xinya''s biological parents'' house, and Lan Xinya didn''t want to go back either. She grew up in Kyoto, and her biological parents are strangers to her! Besides, she didn''t want to let ''strangers'' decide who she was going to be engaged to. And if she goes back, then she will be determined to be from the countryside. She feels that she is out of tune with the country people and cannot get along with them harmoniously. So both Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya were silent. "This matter...let''s talk about it later." Gu Cheng said with a frown. Seeing this, Lan Xinya also said to her parents on the spot, "How about I call my biological parents later, if they know how good my boyfriend is, they will definitely agree to our engagement!" Lan Xinya didn''t want to go back to the countryside, but just wanted to call to let her know. Although both Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan felt that it was inappropriate, they couldn''t say anything about their daughter in front of the Gu family. This matter can only be discussed with their daughter after they go home. Not far from Gu and Lan''s family, Xiaobai moved a stool and sat down, listening carefully. Originally, what the two families were going to talk about today had nothing to do with Xiao Bai, so he didn''t have to go downstairs at all. But because the Lan family''s parents are Sister Lan''s biological parents, and they went to see Sister Lan a few days ago, so Xiaobai has been involved in the chat between the two families from the very beginning, trying to hear the news about Sister Lan. Seeing that the engagement between his brother and the adopted daughter of the Lan family was almost finished, Xiao Bai asked the couple of the Lan family, "Did Sister Lan come to the capital with you two?" Hearing the question of the youngest son of the Gu family, Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng were slightly taken aback. The word "Sister Lan" quickly reminded the two of them of their biological daughter. They almost forgot that the youngest son of the Gu family knew their biological daughter! I remember that Mrs. Wei said before that after her son Gu Jue lost his memory, he was picked up by their daughter, so he didn''t live outside to suffer. "Shu Shu is busy and can''t come for the time being, but she said that she will come to Kyoto to visit us during Chinese New Year this year." When mentioning their biological daughter, both husband and wife showed gentle expressions on their faces. Besides, Lan Weicheng also had a proud look about his daughter''s achievements. (end of this chapter) Chapter 74: Parents love Chapter 74 Parents'' Love Knowing that Sister Lan will come during the Chinese New Year, Xiao Bai is also in a good mood. Besides, Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng heard that the Lan family mentioned their own daughter who grew up in the countryside, but they didn''t take it seriously. Especially Lan Xinya, after she confirmed that her parents'' feelings for her hadn''t changed just because she wasn''t her own. Lan Xinya didn''t care about her parents'' biological daughter who grew up in the countryside. There is a big gap between country people and city people. Girls in the village are very rustic and have outdated ideas. Even if she comes back, she will be out of tune with the city. A person like that cannot compare with himself at all. At that time, the family will live together, maybe the bad habits brought by the other party from the countryside will make parents hate it! Lan Xinya felt that only a daughter like herself would not embarrass her parents when she went out¡ª ¡­ Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. In the past two days, the factory has produced a lot of 290MM night-use sanitary napkins. At Lan Shu''s request, night sanitary napkins were matched with the previous 240MM sanitary napkins. Fifteen pieces of 240MM were matched with five pieces of 290MM. A pack of 20 pieces made a day and night combination. On the packaging of sanitary napkins, Lanshu mainly uses pink. Although this era has not yet defined pink as the color representing the girl group, this color is compared with the mainstream black, red, and green colors today. , warm and bright, very memorable. In the future, when pink represents women, their "Yunrou" sanitary napkins can also rely on the color to remind people of pink, women, and their sanitary napkins! In the afternoon, Lan Shu received a call from the village in her office. During the phone call, Chang Chunfang''s voice had a strong nasal tone, obviously she had just cried. Lan Shengli''s sigh can be heard beside him. "What''s wrong with Mom and Dad?" Lan Shu asked. Hearing the voice of her precious daughter, Chang Chunfang seemed to have found someone to confide in, and immediately spoke. "Xinya called us just now. She said she wants to get engaged to a man. The cousin and the couple have no objections. I hope we agree." As soon as Lan Shu heard it, she understood that it was Lan Xinya, the heroine, who was engaged to the male customer. But apart from this, there must be other things happening, otherwise her mother wouldn''t be in a bad mood. Sure enough, Lan Shu heard what Chang Chunfang said. "After all, Xinya is our biological daughter. Whoever she wants to be engaged to must let us meet to see if the other party is a good character and whether it is worth entrusting. But Xinya said that they are busy and can''t come back..." Chang Chunfang said, her voice was slightly crying because of sadness. "Girl, tell me, who is our biological daughter going to marry? As parents, can we take a good look at it?" "Before your marriage was due to our inability to see people clearly, so we missed you. Now how can we rest assured that another daughter will marry someone we have never met before?" Chang Chunfang said, while worrying about her own daughter, she also felt guilty about the precious girl she had raised for more than ten years. The couple have already made a wrong choice once, and they can''t make a second mistake~! Listening to the cry of her adoptive mother on the phone, Lan Shu was about to persuade her when she heard her adoptive father''s voice¡ª "Girl, I can tell that Xinya doesn''t want to come back, nor does she want to recognize our parents." Lan Shengli has a clear understanding of these situations, and can hear her inner thoughts from the strange tone of her biological daughter on the phone. "My own daughter doesn''t recognize us, we are really a failure!" Lan Shengli said, with tears in his eyes. Lan Shu could hear that the adoptive parents were sad because of their biological daughter''s attitude towards them. Actually, judging from the time when the real daughter was recognized by her biological parents more than half a year later. At that time, the fake daughter and the male protagonist were already engaged, and there was no such thing as they need to ask the opinions of their biological parents now that they are engaged. Speaking of it, there are actually some reasons of my own that let the adoptive parents go through these things now. This made Lan Shu feel a little sorry for her adoptive parents. In the novel, the plot always revolves around the sweet relationship between the hero and heroine, and the hero¡¯s business is getting bigger and bigger, getting richer and becoming a veritable boss. When reading novels, there are no fringe characters appearing, just watching the emotional development of the hero and heroine, it is really sweet and refreshing! But when she went deep into it, Lan Shu discovered that under the beautiful appearance, there were other helpless sadness in other unknown corners. Lan Shu couldn''t change Lan Xinya''s mind, making Lan Xinya have to recognize her biological parents! She could only tell her adoptive parents, "Dad, Mom, it''s okay, you still have me." Even if these things don''t happen now, they will happen in the future. The sadness of the old couple was just brought forward. It doesn¡¯t matter if the heroine only cares about sweetness and doesn¡¯t care about her biological parents. Nursing kindness is greater than birth kindness, she will take good care of her adoptive parents. But Lan Shu wants to take care of the elderly couple, but she doesn''t know how selfless the parents are for their children. "Girl, your father and I are planning to go to the capital. Xinya doesn''t want to come to the country, so let''s go see her and help her see if her partner is okay." Chang Chunfang said on the phone. "Yes, Xinya is going to get engaged. This is a big deal. We removed the check to see if the person is good, and also let Xinya get engaged under the witness of her biological parents." Lan Shengli also felt that he had to go back to Kyoto! Lan Shu: "..." She wanted to persuade her at first, but now it seems that the adoptive parents'' decision has been made. She can''t stop the feelings of parents who are reckless and blindly giving towards their children~! "Okay then, Mom and Dad, when are you going to leave, I''ll take you to the station." As Lan Shu said, she was already considering getting some money from her garment factory to use for her adoptive parents on the way. On the phone, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli set up a time with their daughter, and the call ended. The two thanked the village head, and then immediately went home to pack their luggage, preparing to go to the county seat tomorrow and set off for Kyoto. Lan Shu is not idle here either. She left the toilet paper factory and went to the garment factory. Because of the garment factory, I bought a factory building, bought five more sewing machines, and added some shelves. I just bought a batch of fabrics today, so I really don¡¯t have much cash. Lan Shu reckoned to leave a part of the wages of the workers and the expenses of the daily expenses, and then signed the 300 yuan from Secretary Tang, the temporary treasurer, and asked her parents to bring it tomorrow in case of emergencies. The next morning, Lan Shu picked up her parents, got on her brother Lan Dazhuang''s tractor, and the family headed towards the station. Before getting into the car, Lan Shu stuffed three hundred yuan into the cloth bag she had prepared for her adoptive parents. In addition to money, there is also some food in the bag. She knew that her parents would definitely bring boiled eggs, a necessary food for traveling, so she prepared a few apples and some snacks that were convenient to carry out. (end of this chapter) Chapter 75: pick up Chapter 75 Picking up Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang need to take a shuttle bus from the county seat to Linjiang City, and then take a train to Kyoto. Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli didn''t know that Lan Shu stuffed the money in the bag. It wasn''t until noon when they boarded the train from Linjiang City to Kyoto, and they took something to eat from the bag, that Chang Chunfang found it under the cloth bag. That three hundred dollars! At this moment, the couple suddenly had mixed feelings in their hearts¡ª The biological daughter''s attitude towards them is lukewarm, but it is the baby girl who is not related by blood, who really treats their children... ¡­ Early morning, Kyoto train station. The train arrived at 7:10, and Xiaobai was already waiting on the platform at 6:30. Yesterday afternoon, Sister Lan called his home and told him that Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan would come to the capital today. When he was in Lan''s house, Xiaobai was often taken care of by the elders. Now that he knew they were coming, he immediately said that he would definitely pick them up tomorrow! Because of Xiaobai''s lack of memory, he doesn''t know much about the situation in Kyoto, and he doesn''t even know the location of the train station, so Wei Qiushuang specially asked for leave and accompanied his son to pick him up. Wei Qiushuang has already lost her son once, and she has a psychological shadow. Before her son regained his memory, she had to watch closely to avoid any accidents happening to him. Tens of minutes later, the train arrived on time. As the people in the carriage rushed out of the car door, Xiaobai''s eyes were very good, and soon he saw the person he was going to pick up in the crowded crowd! "Uncle Lan, Auntie, I''m here." While waving hello, he walked against the flow of people and walked in the direction of the two. On the opposite side, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang saw Xiaobai at the station who they hadn''t seen for a while not long after they got off the bus. How did Xiaobai know that they came to Kyoto today? This idea just flashed in his mind, and then Lan Shengli realized that it must be his daughter who called Xiaobai and told Xiaobai! Thinking about this, Lan Shengli feels a little pity. Such a good daughter in his family is not his own daughter, but someone else''s... Although they are not close, it will not change Lan Shengli''s love for his daughter. It just made him feel a little regretful that it was not so perfect. ¡­ Xiaobai received someone here, and immediately took his uncle to the room he had already booked in the guest house. Wei Qiushuang accompanied him all the way, seeing his son so enthusiastic and cheerful, it was completely different from the dull situation at home that only knew how to bury his head in reading recently! It seems that the son feels relaxed and happy when he gets along with these people. And what the family brought to him seemed to be trapped by an invisible shackle, which made him feel very depressed... At this moment, Wei Qiushuang had some reflections. Are those good things she thought were good for her son? At least she has seen clearly that her son doesn''t like and doesn''t agree with the path she arranged for him... In the guest house, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were a little tired after sitting on the train for more than ten hours. Xiaobai bought soybean milk and fried dough sticks for the two elders after busy work, and sent them to the guest house, and then let the two have a good rest, and made an appointment to have dinner together at noon. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are naturally quite familiar with Xiaobai, so there is nothing embarrassing about it. But Xiaobai''s mother, who is following Xiaobai, is wearing a black and white polka-dot suit, with a shiny silver watch on her hand. Her fashionable and exquisite appearance, as well as her powerful aura, make the couple feel restrained no matter what. What experience Wei Qiushuang has, she can naturally see this. So she quickly found a reason to leave, and made an appointment to see you at noon. Xiaobai also said goodbye to the two elders, and left behind his mother¡ª ¡­ A few hours later, Kyoto, Lan''s house. Lan Weicheng received a call from Mrs. Wei, and only then did he learn that his cousin and his wife had come to the capital. He immediately called his wife Xu Shan''s work unit and asked her to take his daughter with him to meet his biological parents after get off work at night. Soon, Lan Xinya also found out that her biological parents came to Kyoto from the countryside to meet her. This made Lan Xinya, who was planning to go shopping with Gu Cheng in the afternoon, on her boyfriend''s appointment, the good mood that she was expecting fell to the bottom in an instant! ¡ª When her biological parents came, even if she didn''t want to, she had to go see them. In addition to her, Wei Qiushuang also called Gu Cheng and told Gu Cheng that if he was busy at noon, he would spare time at night to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Knowing that his girlfriend''s biological parents came to the capital, Gu Cheng immediately frowned. Knowing that her biological daughter grew up in the city, she couldn''t wait to join her? Many of the relatives of Gu Chengwai¡¯s ancestor¡¯s family had such thoughts, and he had seen too many of them! So he had no intention of meeting the other party''s parents at night. ¡­ In the guest house, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang rested all morning, which relieved their exhaustion from sitting in the car for more than ten hours. When it was almost noon, Xiaobai came to pick them up for dinner. Originally, Wei Qiushuang planned to come with his son, but Xiaobai declined. Xiaobai had already noticed when picking up people in the morning that Aunt Lan was very reserved in front of his mother. He thought it was better for the old couple to relax and eat when they were having lunch. After all, his mother has already arranged for the family of three to meet the uncle and aunt of the Lan family in the evening. Lunch is eaten near the guest house. After dinner, Xiaobai wanted to accompany his uncle around the capital, but was rejected by Lan Shengli. "Xiaobai, you need to be busy first. Although I haven''t been back for more than 20 years, I probably still know the way to Kyoto." Lan Shengli was born in Kyoto since he was a child. If it wasn''t for the educated youth who went to the countryside, he would probably live in Kyoto for the rest of his life. Now that he has returned to his hometown for a long time, Lan Shengli has very complicated feelings for his hometown. He wants to take his daughter-in-law to take a good look around his hometown, and it is not good for other people to accompany him in the process. And since he hasn''t been back for more than 20 years, Lan Shengli still wants to see how the old man is doing. When he left the capital, the old man was still in good health. Now after so many years, I don¡¯t know if the old man is still there... Xiaobai saw Uncle Lan''s nostalgia for his hometown, so he nodded and bid farewell to Uncle Lan''s family. "Uncle, Auntie, let''s see you tonight, and I will come to the guest house to pick you up then." Xiaobai said, waved to the two, and they separated at the hotel entrance. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang watched Xiaobai''s back gradually go away, Lan Shengli couldn''t help sighing, "What a good boy~" "Yes, our family is all good children, Shushu is, and so is Xiaobai." Chang Chunfang nodded in agreement. Chang Chunfang did not say a word. She felt it was a pity, Shu Shu is good, but it was not her own, Xiao Bai was good, but in the end she left their house. How nice it would be if all these children belonged to their family? It would be great if it didn''t happen that Shu Shu is not her biological daughter... (end of this chapter) Chapter 76: The heroine is ordinary? Chapter 76 The heroine is ordinary? Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. During working hours in the afternoon, Lan Shu received a call from Xiao Bai in the office from Kyoto. "Sister Lan, don''t worry, my uncle and aunt have been arranged. The hostel they live in is the best in the neighborhood. In the morning, I bought fried dough sticks and soy milk for them. At noon, I ate beef noodles and two meat dishes." Xiaobai seldom opens up the chatterbox. He doesn''t talk much on weekdays, but because he hasn''t seen Lanshu for a long time, it seems that he has endless things to say. Listening to Xiaobai''s detailed description of the situation of her adoptive parents in Kyoto, Lan Shu felt relieved. "Then I will trouble you to take care of my parents in the past two days. They don''t have any acquaintances in Kyoto..." Before Lan Shu finished speaking, Xiao Bai interrupted, "Sister Lan, taking care of uncle and aunt is not troublesome at all." He spoke solemnly, which made Lan Shu feel that what he just explained was unnecessary. In order to avoid silence, Lan Shu immediately changed the subject. "By the way, your brother''s girlfriend is my parents'' biological daughter, how does it look like?" Lan Shu was a little worried that her parents would meet her biological daughter at night. If Lan Xinya had a bad temper and looked down on country people, then her parents would probably be sad again. I thought that Xiaobai would provide her with some useful information, but what Lan Shu didn''t expect was that Xiaobai was silent on the phone for half a minute, and then replied, "I don''t remember." Lan Shu:? ''Don''t remember'' what is the answer? As far as she knew, when Gu and Lan were discussing their children''s engagement, Xiaobai must have met Lan Xinya. As the heroine of the novel, Lan Xinya is also the control group of the real daughter, a flawless fake daughter, she will more or less have the effect of a "protagonist aura". That kind of ''halo'' can''t be strong enough to make all men love her, but it will definitely make her attractive enough! In this situation, Xiaobai seems to have never seen anyone... Did Xiaobai see you? Or have nothing to do with oneself, turn a blind eye? On the other side of the phone, she was probably worried that her answer would make Sister Lan think she was coping, so Xiaobai immediately explained. "That woman is too ordinary, not as good-looking as Sister Lan, and not as beautiful as your eyes. Although she looks gentle, she was acting in front of her parents. Her voice was a bit sharp, and her ears hurt after listening too much. .¡± Lan Shu: ¡­ Although she has never met Lan Xinya, she has also read novels and knows that the heroine has a pretty face, and under her gentle appearance, she has a playful and cunning personality. It was because of this character that he caught the attention of the male lead, Gu Cheng. Also, Xiaobai said that the heroine¡¯s voice is sharp, and her ears hurt after listening too much... If she remembers correctly, the heroine''s voice described in the novel is sweet and soft, very pleasant to hear. The almost perfect image of the heroine, in Xiaobai''s words, seems to have no merit at all... Lan Shu has some doubts whether Xiaobai''s aesthetics is different from ordinary people, or is his vision too high? She was even curious¡ª "Xiaobai, what type of girl do you like?" Lan Shu asked. Suddenly, Xiao Bai was taken aback when Sister Lan asked this question! What kind of girl do you like? Why do I like other girls! Xiaobai thought of the few girls he knew. The one named Li Xuan in their compound looks weak and weak, she speaks softly, and loves to hang out with his house whenever she has something to do, it''s really annoying to deal with! There is also his brother''s girlfriend, the woman who switched parents with Sister Lan, and I don''t know what his brother likes about her. If he wanted to be with such a woman, Xiao Bai would rather be with his own mother. Although his mother always looked at him with eyes of concern for mentally handicapped children, taking care of him meticulously made him feel pressured by over-care. But he''d rather be stressed than be alone with other women. Only when he is with Sister Lan, he is relaxed and happy. Sister Lan''s concern for her made Xiao Bai feel just right. Looking at every behavior of Sister Lan that can be called a whimsy, and the final harvest, Xiaobai was inspired and learned something from it. At this moment, Xiaobai turned his thoughts back to the question asked by Sister Lan. ¡®What type of girl do you like? '' Through the phone, thinking back to his ''summary'' just now, Xiaobai was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts! Although he doesn''t know who he likes, he feels that he is in the best mood when he is with Sister Lan. Sister Lan is irreplaceable for everyone! ¡ª Is this like it? Suddenly such an idea popped up in his mind, which shocked Xiaobai! Xiao Bai frowned, trying to delve into his heart. But he couldn''t figure it out, and he wasn''t sure. "Sister Lan, I suddenly remembered that there is still a book to read, so let''s not talk about it. After finishing the book, I will pick up my uncle and aunt and take them to see their biological daughter." Xiao Bai said in a hurry, and before Lan Shu could reply, he immediately said, "Sister Lan, I will call you next time." Then unilaterally ended the communication. Lan Shu: ¡­ Xiaobai''s haste and panic, and the cover-up of guilt, is too obvious. Are you shy? Who does Xiaobai like? That Li Xuan? Or other girls you met after arriving in Kyoto? Lan Shu doesn''t know who Xiaobai has met recently, but Xiaobai''s shy reaction is quite cute. It''s a pity that I can''t see it with my own eyes, otherwise it should be more interesting. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is less than two months away, when she goes to Kyoto, she will be able to meet Xiaobai~ ¡­ At six o''clock that night, at the Kyoto Hotel. Xiaobai brought Uncle and Aunt Lan to the front of the hotel. The three of them came by car, and Wei Qiushuang specially asked the driver of the Wei family to pick them up with his son. It was the first time for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang to ride in a four-wheeled car, and they were a little at a loss at first. But I heard Xiaobai say that no matter how good a car is, it is for people to sit in, and a car is just a means of transportation. The tension between the two slowly calmed down. In the private room on the second floor of the hotel, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were the first couple to come. Today they are not only the parents of Gu Cheng, but also the biological parents of Lan Xinya, the adopted daughter of the Lan family. I would like to thank the Lan family for taking their son Gu Jue in when he lost his memory. In addition to the two, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also came, and Lan Xinya sat quietly beside her parents. On the day when she was about to meet her biological parents, Lan Xinya showed no signs of excitement, she was quiet and even a little indifferent... "Why hasn''t Gu Cheng come yet? Today is the day to meet Xinya''s parents." At the dining table, Wei Qiushuang asked her husband Gu Anguo. Gu Anguo also waited until this time and hadn''t waited for his son, so he was a little anxious. "I''ll go downstairs and give Gu Cheng a call to remind me." As he spoke, Gu Anguo got up and left his seat, and walked towards the door of the private room of the hotel. Continue to ask for tickets~ Cuties who have monthly tickets, please also order monthly tickets~(*^¨Œ^*) (end of this chapter) Chapter 77: be a man first Chapter 77 Be a man first Downstairs, Xiaobai led Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang into the restaurant. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he suddenly saw not far away, his father standing in front of the counter on the first floor of the hotel, making a phone call with a sullen face. "Gu Cheng, what time is it and why haven''t you come? Don''t you know what day it is today?! I told you, you must be there today!" Gu Anguo has always been calm and rarely gets angry, but today he was really **** off by his eldest son! Just now he called his eldest son''s new ''big brother'' and learned that his eldest son didn''t plan to come at all. Not only did she neglect Xinya''s biological parents, but she also didn''t take his father''s word to heart! When did his eldest son dare to go against his will, and even contradict him sometimes? Gu Anguo thought about it carefully, it seems that after the eldest son started business and made more and more money¡ª¡ª Money seems to be able to change a person! Let his old eldest son, who didn''t have much talent in studies, but worked hard and had an honest and responsible personality, become like this... Xiaobai heard this, how could he not understand what happened? In the afternoon, although Sister Lan didn''t say it clearly on the phone, he also heard that Sister Lan was worried that the adopted daughter of the Lan family would be disrespectful to her uncle and aunt. But Sister Lan probably didn''t expect that it would be his brother who had problems first. Xiao Bai frowned. He, like Sister Lan, did not want Uncle Lan and Aunt Chunfang to come here full of expectations and return sad. So Xiaobai explained to Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan beside him, asking them to wait on the spot, and then he walked straight in the direction of his father. ... "When a man wants to marry a woman, he doesn''t even dare to meet her parents. Gu Cheng, when did you become so cowardly?" "Gu Jue?" Opposite, Gu Cheng was startled. The Gu family and the Lan family were discussing his engagement. What''s the matter with Gu Jue? And what Gu Jue said just now, the familiar feeling of oppression made Gu Cheng''s heart skip a beat! When he was at home before, although Gu Jue was several years younger than himself, as an older brother, he never could control his younger brother. At most, under their brotherhood, when some younger brothers are confused, they can guide a few words in front of them. "Do you come by yourself, or let me find you?" Hearing his brother''s cold voice on the phone, Gu Cheng suddenly felt very shameless! He has already started a company now, and he is the general manager of the company that many people look up to, but that kid Gu Jue still talks to him like he used to! It seems that no matter how powerful I become, I can''t make him admire and obey him. Gu Cheng originally just didn''t want to see those people from the countryside, so as not to cause trouble for himself. But now, Gu Jue''s words upset him! My heart is in a mess! He remembered that because he was jealous of Gu Jue''s future, he had a bad idea for a moment, and told the people who worked for him that Gu Jue should never return to the capital. Those people clearly said that Gu Jue fell into the river, and he would definitely not survive! But now, why is Gu Jue so lucky to come back? At first, when Gu Jue came back, he had no memory. Seeing that he was going to go to school instead of following Wei Qiushuang''s arrangement, Gu Cheng felt a little soft-hearted. Gu Cheng looked down on the road of concentrating on studying and studying. He felt that there was no future in studying, so he no longer had any thoughts about his younger brother. But now, listening to Gu Jue''s words, it really made him feel very upset! The feeling that someone is going to be on his head at any time is back¡ª "Gu Jue! I''m your brother!" "Before being a brother, you should be a man first." Xiao Bai said lightly. This kind of words are clearly scolding him in person, ''not a man! ''. Gu Cheng felt that he was insulted! "Or, that woman, you don''t want to marry in the future?" Xiaobai said again. If his brother didn''t come, with the character of Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan, they really wouldn''t feel at ease handing over their daughter. But after thinking about it, the adopted daughter of the Lan family might not listen to Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan. Does Gu Cheng want to make a fuss to the point where the adopted daughter of the Lan family breaks ties with her biological parents? Even if they are together, they will still be criticized behind their backs. Gu Cheng doesn''t feel ashamed, but Xiaobai thinks that he, as a member of the Gu family, is quite disgusted. Listening to Gu Jue''s words, Gu Cheng didn''t feel that he would lose anything just by missing one dinner. At that time, it would be a big deal for him to give Xinya''s biological parents some more gift money. The two years of doing business made Gu Cheng realize that money is omnipotent! As long as he gets the money, those poor relatives from the countryside will stop Xinya? Don''t let her marry him? "You tell Dad for me, I won''t go." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone¡ª And Xiaobai frowned, his fists were itchy... Gu Anguo on the side can naturally hear the voice of the eldest son on the phone. Seeing that the eldest son had made up his mind, he was angry, but there was nothing he could do. But Xiaobai''s reaction was very direct. He turned to look at Gu Anguo and asked, "Where is Gu Cheng now?" "Son, are you really going to find your brother and bring him here?" Gu Anguo widened his eyes. "Don''t go, it''s fine if he doesn''t come. If he decides not to show up for this matter, and doesn''t give his parents an explanation, I won''t agree to his engagement!" Gu Anguo was able to walk from a small county to the capital, sit in his current position, and his work ability was recognized by the above. These are not only brought to him by the Wei family, but also because he has a good character and is a principled person. people. Now, if the eldest son can despise others because he feels rich, then he, a father, will never pamper his son! This matter is between him and the eldest son, and the younger son cannot be involved. Otherwise, in addition to the discord between the two sons and brothers, his wife will also be unhappy. Gu Anguo did not marry a wife for his political career, but because he truly loved his wife, so he remarried again. Xiaobai was suddenly held by his father''s arm, and he didn''t break free immediately. Then he heard what his dad said... With his father''s guarantee, Xiaobai didn''t insist on bringing Gu Cheng forcibly. Because even if he brought people here, Gu Cheng would not have a few good words, and Uncle Lan and Aunt would still feel uncomfortable. Now that his father has made his stand clear, he is on the side of his uncle and aunt. What the uncle and aunt are worried about is that their daughter is confused and looking for a bad partner. Now, if Gu Cheng is not doing well, the matter between him and the adoptive daughter of the Lan family cannot be done without the support of his parents, so what does Gu Cheng have to do with Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan? (end of this chapter) Chapter 78: keep your own flowers Chapter 78 Keep it for yourself At the Kyoto Hotel, after Xiaobai introduced his father, Gu Anguo, to Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan, the four of them went upstairs together. Upstairs, Wei Qiushuang, Lan Weicheng, and Xu Shan were already waiting with their daughter. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang entered the private room, and immediately saw Lan Xinya sitting next to Xu Shan. Today Lan Xinya is wearing a light yellow long-sleeved dress and a thick light brown woolen coat. Her long hair is slightly curly, scattered on her shoulders, with a little makeup on her face, she looks bright, gentle and beautiful. Lan Xinya''s hair was permed a few days ago, in order to make herself look dazzling enough at the engagement banquet and earn enough face for Gu Cheng! But she didn''t expect that it had been a few days, and there was no news of her engagement to Gu Cheng! Before she came today, her mother had already told her about her biological parents coming to Kyoto. At this time, being stared at by two strangers who came into the private room, Lan Xinya only felt uncomfortable. In order to make herself feel better, she just glanced at the two of them and then looked away. From the clothes of the two of them, Lan Xinya already knew the family situation of her biological parents. In Lan Xinya''s perception, anyone with a little money will wear an elegant coat this season. And the clothes of her biological parents are dusty, with a rustic atmosphere, and they look like they came from the countryside. With such unappreciated biological parents, Lan Xinya felt very uncomfortable, and even a little bit ashamed... She really hopes that she is not the wrong child... It''s a pity that when she saw her biological mother''s facial features, from the other''s face, the inner eyes that were exactly the same as her own, and the same downward lip shape, Lan Xinya was full of despair! She is really the wrong child... And her biological parents came from the countryside... Aside, Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng didn''t notice the change in their daughter''s mood. When they saw their cousin and sister-in-law coming, they immediately got up and greeted each other with smiles. After Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were seated, Lan Weicheng immediately introduced, "Look, cousin, this is Xinya, your biological daughter." Then he looked at Lan Xinya again, "Xinya, call Mom and Dad!" Lan Xinya was stunned for a moment when she was named in public. Then she glanced at Gu Cheng''s parents who were present, and saw how her parents desperately hoped that she could recognize her biological parents¡ª Lan Xinya took a deep breath and turned her eyes back to her biological parents in the countryside. "...Father, Mother." This is already the limit of what she can do! Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang became excited when their biological daughter called them. Chang Chunfang even had tears of joy in his eyes. Their biological daughters did not deny them! Before on the phone, they mistakenly thought that their daughter didn''t want to recognize their parents~! "Good boy." Lan Shengli said, his hands trembling with joy. Then he took out the money from the inside pocket of his jacket. The couple did not bring much money when they went out this time, they only took two hundred yuan from home. As for the three hundred that their daughter gave, the old couple is not going to move. Chang Chunfang intends to keep it first, and return it to her daughter when she returns. At this time, Lan Shengli counted out a hundred yuan tremblingly, and handed it to his daughter. "Xinya, it''s the first time we met. My parents don''t know what you want. You spend the money. You can buy whatever you like." On the opposite side, Lan Xinya saw her biological father who came from the countryside, handing her the money with trembling hands. She glanced at it, and it was about a hundred yuan. This amount of money is not small for an ordinary family, but it is not a big money for her. Thinking of her usual expenses, even a random gift she gave Gu Cheng''s parents was more than what her own father gave her, which made Lan Xinya not want to take the money at all. Taking the hand of others and accepting the money will make Lan Xinya feel indebted to the other party, and she will really feel like being a daughter to them in the future. That''s why Lan Xinya put on a embarrassed expression that hesitated to speak, and didn''t raise her hand to accept it at all. "Father and mother, it is not easy for you to make money, so you should save it for yourself, I have money." She said. Daughter''s answer made Lan Shengli and his wife feel a little embarrassed. When they saw their daughter and gave her money, it was not just about giving money, but about their love for their children. But now, their children are unwilling to accept their wishes! This makes Chang Chunfang''s originally happy mood suddenly feel like being poured cold water¡ª Besides, Lan Shengli hadn''t heard Lan Xinya''s resolute refusal, so he continued to hand over the money, "Xinya take it." Seeing the other party''s ''entanglement'', Lan Xinya frowned slightly, "You should take it back." She shook her head, and she seemed a little disgusted when she spoke... Lan Shengli only heard that his daughter seemed unhappy? He had no choice but to cough twice, and retracted the hand holding the money in a depressed mood. The interaction between father and daughter made the atmosphere of the scene a little delicate. Wei Qiushuang on the side sensed it sensitively, so she immediately opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere. "Tonight is a happy day. The food in this restaurant tastes good. Brother Lan and sister-in-law will eat more later." Wei Qiushuang did not treat the Lan family couple as outsiders. As far as her son''s attitude towards the two is concerned, she will not treat the two as outsiders. Lan Xinya was relieved when she saw Mrs. Wei come forward to rescue her, and gave Mrs. Wei a grateful look. Although Mrs. Wei is not Gu Cheng''s biological mother, judging from the situation just now, Mrs. Wei is on her side, so she didn''t embarrass herself too much. The restaurant served food very quickly. Eight people ordered ten dishes and two soups. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang ate with so many people, they were a little cautious at the dinner table. Fortunately, Xiaobai was there. Seeing that Uncle Lan and Auntie didn''t pick up vegetables very much, he kept putting vegetables on their plates. Finally, when the meal is over, even if Lan Shengli eats a lot, he is still full. After the meal, Lan Xinya didn''t bother to talk to her biological parents about her upcoming engagement. She bid farewell to everyone politely, and then left in a hurry... ¡­ The next morning, the weekend. Gu Cheng was called back home by his father Gu Anguo. Gu Anguo was very angry about his absence last night! But Gu Cheng disagreed. "Dad, why are you so angry? I''m usually so busy, it''s normal for me to get stuck on some things." "As for Xinya and I''s engagement, I''ve already reserved a seat at the Kyoto Hotel. We''ll get engaged on the 28th at the end of this month." Regarding the engagement, Gu Cheng decided to bypass his parents directly. The engagement between him and his girlfriend, since his parents are still undecided, he will decide it himself! (end of this chapter) Chapter 79: divorced Chapter 79 Divorced When Gu Anguo heard the news, he was really **** off! "Do I agree to your engagement?!" "Dad, I already asked my secretary to send out the invitation today. Anyway, Xinya and I will get engaged sooner or later, and whoever decides the exact date is pretty much the same." Gu Cheng said in a relaxed tone. When Gu Anguo heard this, he became even more angry! By doing this, Gu Cheng simply didn''t take him as a father seriously! "You want to get engaged, I will not agree to it without the consent of the woman''s biological parents!" "Even if you set a time, so what? As long as I don''t go, can you get engaged?" His father will not be present, and neither will the cousins ??of the Lan family. At that time, there will not even be an elder, let''s see how they get engaged! Gu Cheng originally didn''t care about whether his elders would go or not, but for his engagement, if he could get the approval of his elders, especially if the Wei family''s grandpa came to the scene, that was the most important thing to him! At that time, even if someone secretly discusses that he is not the grandson of the Wei family, if he can be recognized by Mr. Wei, then he will be honored. "Dad, why don''t I ask Xinya to call her parents over at noon today, and talk about our engagement at home?" Although Gu Cheng didn''t want to see Lan Xinya''s biological parents who came from the countryside, but the current situation made him have to. Hearing that the eldest son had changed his mind, Gu Anguo calmed down a little. "That''s right, I''ll call the Lan family right now and ask them to come at noon." As Gu Anguo said, he immediately picked up the phone in the living room and dialed the number of Lan Weicheng''s home. ¡­ At this moment, Lan Shengli and Chang Xiufang are guests at Lan Weicheng''s house. In addition to coming to see their daughter today, Lan Shengli also wanted to ask his cousin about the whereabouts of his old man. Yesterday afternoon, Lan Shengli took his wife to his home in Kyoto more than 20 years ago. His old house was dilapidated, the house was empty, dust and cobwebs were everywhere, and there was no one in the family. When we had dinner together last night, Lan Shengli didn''t have time to ask, so he came to find out what happened today. Lan Weicheng knew a little about his uncle''s situation. "When you went to the countryside to become an educated youth, my father gave my uncle two hundred yuan as a thank you. When my uncle had money, he had good food and drink, and his life was very nourishing." "Later the uncle ran out of money, and he came to our house to ask for money a few times, and my father also gave some." When Lan Weicheng talked about his uncle, although his tone was as calm as possible, Lan Shengli could still tell that his cousin was very angry with his old man. He understands the situation. No one¡¯s family was having a good time at first, but the old man of his family would come to his cousin¡¯s house every three days to ¡®play the autumn wind¡¯, which is really annoying! "What happened next?" Lan Shengli asked. "Later, my uncle came to our house one day. He didn''t ask for money, but said he wanted to go out to work, so he left. I haven''t seen my uncle come back for so many years." Hearing the news, Lan Shengli sighed deeply. No one really knows whether his old man is dead or alive now... "Although uncle has left, your old house is still there. Before my father passed away two years ago, he specifically told me to help your family keep the house. Maybe one day you come back, and you can have a place to settle down." Lan Shengli nodded silently upon hearing this. Chang Chunfang on the side mentioned another matter. "Siblings, cousins, there is another situation that we didn''t have time to talk about yesterday, and it''s about Shushu." When they were in Tianshui Village, the couple heard from their cousins ??that Shushu was not their biological daughter. At that time, they couldn''t accept it for a while, and even when they had to accept the fact later, they were so excited that they forgot to tell their cousins ??and husband and wife that their precious daughter was married and divorced. Now I finally had the opportunity to sit down and talk about it, so Chang Chunfang brought it up. Lan Weicheng and his wife learned that their biological daughter was only nineteen years old, and had already experienced marriage and divorce! Lan Weicheng was stunned¡ª Xu Shan couldn''t believe it either! Thinking of her daughter''s tragic experience, Xu Shan shed tears on the spot for her daughter''s distress... Only Lan Xinya, who was reluctant to accompany her elders downstairs and listen to the chat between her adoptive parents and her biological parents, was surprised for a moment when she heard this, but she still had an indescribable feeling in her heart. My parents'' biological daughter turned out to be a divorced woman... Growing up in the countryside and divorced again, Lan Xinya really wanted to see such a village woman. It''s a pity that the other party didn''t come to the capital this time, otherwise, if parents see their biological daughter like that, I don''t know how disappointed they would be... Since she learned that her parents'' biological daughter grew up in the countryside, Lan Xinya didn''t think that the other party would be able to take away her parents'' affection for her in the future. Now that the other party has been divorced, she is even more relieved. Aside, Chang Chunfang blamed herself a lot when she saw Xu Shan crying. "Brothers and sisters, it''s all my fault. It''s because I don''t know people well that Shushu married the wrong person..." Lan Shengli felt guilty when he heard his wife''s words. So this time, he will definitely keep his eyes open, and not let Xinya end up in a bad result like his daughter. When everyone in the Lan family was depressed, suddenly, the phone in the living room of the Lan family rang¡ª The call is from Mrs. Wei. Lan Weicheng heard on the phone that Mrs. Wei represented the Gu family and invited them, as well as the cousin couple, to their home to discuss the engagement of the two children. After hanging up the phone, he relayed the incident to his cousin. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t meet their biological daughter''s romantic partner yesterday. Knowing that they can meet today, and that they want to help Xinya take a look at each other''s character, the two immediately agreed to go. As for Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, they are still grieving over the past experiences of their biological daughter, and feel sad about their daughter''s divorce. Besides, they didn''t have any objection to the engagement between Xinya and Gu''s eldest son, so they didn''t go. ¡­ Because she was going to Gu''s house, Lan Xinya immediately went upstairs to dress herself up. Today, Lan Xinya is still dressed exquisitely. She was wearing a light blue knee-length skirt and a beige coat. When she walked down the stairs slowly, she was quiet and showed a bit of foreign style. It''s a pity that the biological parents beside her wear ordinary and inconspicuous clothes, which makes Lan Xinya feel that she is out of place with them. When the three of them took the bus to Gu''s house together, Lan Xinya clearly felt that the other people on the bus looked at her biological parents with inquisitive eyes, as if they were guessing the relationship between them and herself. At that moment, Lan Xinya even thought that it would be fine if they didn''t follow her... But in order to get engaged to Gu Cheng smoothly, she can only go with them. (end of this chapter) Chapter 80: no dowry Chapter 80 Do not accept bride price More than half an hour later, Lan Xinya arrived at Gu''s house with Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang. At this time, the Gu family, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were sitting in the living room, waiting patiently for the Lan family to come. Gu Cheng could only be forced to accompany him. Xiao Bai is not at home, he went out early in the morning. As for where she went, even Wei Qiushuang didn''t know. When Wei Qiushuang woke up early in the morning, her son was no longer at home, but a note was left on the living room table, saying that he had to go out on business. When Lan Xinya brought her biological parents to Gu''s house, Xiaobai didn''t come back either. When Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang saw that Xiaobai was not at home and had no acquaintances, they sat on the sofa very cautiously. With his son absent, Wei Qiushuang immediately took on the task of making the Lan family couple feel at ease. She got up and poured a glass of water for the two of them, and placed it in front of them. "Brother Lan, sister-in-law, drink some water to moisten your mouth first, don''t be restrained when you come home." As she spoke, she immediately introduced Gu Cheng, who was sitting next to her husband, to the Lan family. "This is the eldest son of our Gu family, named Gu Cheng, and he is Xinya''s boyfriend." When Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang heard this, they immediately looked at Gu Cheng who Mrs. Wei said. Gu Cheng largely inherited his father Gu Anguo''s Zhou Zheng''s appearance. Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, wide nose wings, slightly thick lips, and obvious double eyelids. This appearance is definitely the appearance of a national standard man in today''s era. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are quite satisfied with seeing each other. Looking at Gu Cheng''s height, even though he didn''t stand up, he is not short with his long arms and legs. Probably about the same height as Xiaobai, but looks a bit thicker than Xiaobai. Gu Cheng''s external conditions are quite good, as for his character... When they met for the first time, the couple still couldn''t tell. Seeing the eyes of the Lan family couple looking at their son, Gu Anguo also introduced. "My eldest son is in the electric appliance business. He has opened two stores here in Kyoto, mainly selling washing machines, TV sets, and some small appliances. The business is pretty good. Don''t worry, Xinya won''t suffer when she gets married! " Although Gu Anguo was angry at his son''s previous attitude, he was his own son after all, and it was related to his son''s marriage. If a father can help his son with a few good words, then he should say more. Aside, Gu Cheng frowned slightly when he heard his father introducing himself to outsiders. He didn''t really want his girlfriend, these country relatives who popped up all of a sudden, to know that he was rich. To prevent the other party from pestering him because he is rich. But now, his father has directly confessed to someone¡ª Originally, Gu Cheng planned to go through the motions today and didn''t plan to say anything. But now, since the other party knows about his situation, there are some things that he should clarify. Gu Cheng raised his eyes, and swept across the two of them lightly. "You two can be regarded as Xinya''s elders. I hope you can agree to my engagement with Xinya." "Don''t worry, I''ll take out the dowry money for Xinya and I''s wedding in double. One thousand yuan will be given to you, and the other will be given to Xinya''s parents." Gu Cheng thought that he was willing to give money to the parents whose girlfriend suddenly jumped out, he was already very generous. But these words reached Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang''s ears, and both of them recognized the object of their daughter''s engagement. Under the surface of the polite words, the tone was contempt for the couple¡ª What do you mean they are the elders of the daughter? They are Xinya''s biological parents! And the other party addressed them as ''you'', but to the cousin and his wife, they were ''Xinya''s parents''. In just a few words, Lan Shengli already understood that the eldest son of the Gu family didn''t take them seriously at all! From the perspective of her boyfriend, the couple seemed to have come to Kyoto to "play the autumn wind" suddenly¡ª Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were originally here to help their daughter see how the person she was looking for was. Now it seems that such a man, how could they hand over their daughter with confidence? Aside, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang also heard the disrespect in the son/adopted son''s tone. Gu Anguo immediately boasted! Wei Qiushuang didn''t want the situation to be ugly, so he immediately took the call, "Gu Cheng, double dowry is also appropriate!" As she said that, she looked at Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, and continued, "Our family, Gu Cheng, is not very good at talking, so he shouldn''t have brought up this matter. Of course, we are the parents of the dowry. Don''t worry, Gu Cheng Cheng likes Xinya very much, and will treat Xinya well in the future." Lan Shengli naturally understood Mrs. Wei''s good intentions to make peace, but they could see clearly what the Gu family''s eldest son looked like. He looked at Gu Cheng, and said seriously, "We didn''t come all the way from Tianshui Village to ask for a bride price!" "Oh?" Gu Cheng didn''t believe it, and then asked, "Then why are you here? Just to see your own daughter?" The obvious disbelief in this sentence made Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang feel as if the other party was humiliating them! They came to see their own daughter! Chang Chunfang thinks she is upright, if others don''t believe her, then her daughter will definitely not think so. But when she looked towards Lan Xinya, she found that her biological daughter pursed her lips and said nothing, seeming to agree with her partner''s thoughts¡ª Chang Chunfang never thought of this situation. Her breath tightened and her heart ached! Why would my daughter think of her so much? "Xinya, you have to trust me and your father, we will never take a penny of your gift money! Not only that, when you get married, we will raise a dowry for you!" "Dowry?" Lan Xinya frowned. She doesn''t think she can add any dowry to herself with the conditions of her biological parents? Lan Xinya doesn''t care at all, and she doesn''t like those so-called dowries either. Adding a decent dowry to herself can only be done by her parents in Kyoto. As if seeing their daughter''s distrust, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang felt heavy in their hearts. In the daughter¡¯s heart, are they the kind of parents who only come for the bride price and can¡¯t afford the dowry? Thinking of this, Chang Chunfang gritted her teeth, as if to prove something, she looked at Lan Xinya and said¡ª "Xinya, when you get married, we won''t accept a bride price, and we will give you a dowry of 500 yuan!" Five hundred yuan is already a high price in the village! The bride price for other people''s sons to marry their daughter-in-law is only one hundred. When their baby Shushu got married, they bought things back and forth and gave them to Xu Yunjie''s family, and they didn''t have five hundred... The money is almost the only savings left in the hands of the couple who have saved most of their lives! Chang Chunfang knew that she did this, so she was a little sorry for Shushu. But now that Xinya was born in the capital, if the couple received less money, they would not be taken seriously at all. Moreover, this dowry is not only a dowry, but also the face of the couple as their daughter''s biological parents! (end of this chapter) Chapter 81: havent seen you for a long time Chapter 81 Long time no see "Five hundred, heh~" Gu Cheng didn''t pay much attention to such a small amount of money, but the other party seemed to have made a major decision, so he could only come up with five hundred yuan. With only five hundred dollars, what do they want to prove? This made Gu Cheng feel funny, and once again realized that it is good to be rich. With money, he can make himself stand on a high enough level to look at these various life states like a clown, funny and acting like a joke. Things that others took out with great difficulty, to him, he could just raise his hand and earn them easily. This situation greatly satisfied Gu Cheng''s vanity. Besides, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang listened to the conversation between their son/adopted son and the old couple of the Lan family, and felt that something was wrong! Wei Qiushuang frowned, she never imagined that the adopted son she watched and grew up would turn into such an arrogant and disrespectful character! Gu Anguo''s face was also dark, he got up from the sofa suddenly, glared at his son, "Gu Cheng, do you still think of me?" His eldest son''s disrespectful behavior towards the guests is just embarrassing him! Gu Anguo was once again disappointed by the changes in his son after he became rich! But today''s Gu Cheng, after a successful career, his heart is also floating. Especially after he believes that money is omnipotent, when anything happens in his heart, his first reaction will be to think about money. That''s why he felt that all poor people approached him with plans and purposes. Such a situation will happen, but it is not absolute. But Gu Cheng doesn''t care if he misunderstood others. Besides, Lan Xinya watched the two elders of the Gu family and her own parents who had a lot of opinions on Gu Cheng. Although she also felt that it was not good for Gu Cheng to speak like this, but soon, Lan Xinya found a reasonable reason for Gu Cheng''s behavior. The reason why Gu Cheng was able to stand out from the countless people and have his current achievements and wealth is because he is not ordinary. And with Gu Cheng''s current achievements, he has enough proud capital! Just as the atmosphere in the living room of Gu''s family was getting tense, suddenly, the sound of keys unlocking came from outside the courtyard door. ¡ªXiaobai is back. Xiaobai went out this morning and went to the train station. He wants to pick up Sister Lan! Lan Shu originally had no plan to come to the capital, but she received a call from Xiaobai yesterday afternoon, and learned about the situation of her parents after they came to the capital, she was really worried. In addition, later, she received a call from the sales team leader who was sent out by her a few days ago to promote sanitary napkins in the factory, and learned that the promotion in Kyoto was going smoothly, and there were thirty-seven stores that wanted to sell them. The factory buys and sells sanitary napkins. But those shop owners need Lan Shu, the person in charge of the factory, to sign a long-term supply contract with them. In the past, when the factory shipped sanitary napkins to those stores in Linjiang City and surrounding counties, there was no need to sign a contract at all. But Kyoto is different. Businesses here are more aware of security. They are worried that the sanitary napkin factory will not be able to supply them in the future, which will affect their business, so they must have a contract. When Lan Shu heard about the situation, she already wanted to go to Kyoto, and now she has a reason to go. She immediately set off to Linjiang City Railway Station, and then bought a ticket from Linjiang City to Kyoto that night, and came here. Before getting on the train, she called Xiao Bai at the supply and marketing agency near the train station to inform him. Knowing the arrival time of Sister Lan''s car, Xiaobai set off early today and waited at Kyoto Station. Outside the gate, Xiaobai uses the key to unlock the door, and pushes the door to let Sister Lan go in. Stepping into the courtyard of the Gu family, Lan Shu immediately saw the scene of five or six people in the living room at a stalemate in the open door on the first floor of the Gu family. Seeing the slightly sad expressions on her parents'' faces from a distance, Lan Shu immediately frowned, and strode into the house¡ª The appearance of Xiaobai and Lanshu immediately attracted the attention of several people in the living room. Wei Qiushuang had met Lan Shu before, and she recognized him immediately. Although Gu Anguo had never seen it before, he saw his younger son standing next to the girl, obviously in a good mood, and probably guessed who she was. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were surprised, why did their daughter also come to Kyoto? When did you come? Only Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya didn''t know Lan Shu''s identity. Who is that woman that Gu Jue brought back? Also a woman, Lan Xinya is very concerned about the appearance of other people of the same sex. The woman next to the young master of the Gu family is very beautiful, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, light pink lips, and a pink complexion. She is wearing a black velvet long waist dress with a crimson bow ribbon tied at the neckline, an off-white coat, small leather shoes with half high heels on her feet, her long straight hair is half tied behind her head, and she wears a and Bow hair accessories in the same color as the neckline. With such a dress, she looks like a fashion girl who just stepped out of a pictorial! As soon as she appeared, Lan Xinya felt ashamed and couldn''t look away! ¡ª Lan Xinya finally knew the reason why the young master of the Gu family had a cold attitude towards her, and even didn''t look at her in the eyes several times when they met. With such a beautiful woman by his side, how could he see himself? Beside Lan Xinya, Gu Cheng also fixedly looked at the girl next to his brother. The expressionless look on the other side gave Gu Cheng the feeling at first glance that she was an ice beauty with a cold temperament! When did Gu Jue meet such a beautiful girl? The other party is a daughter raised by a big family? Seeing the ''Ice Beauty'' raise his eyes and look towards them, Gu Cheng unconsciously straightened his back, even hoping that he would be noticed by the other party. But soon, he found that the ''Ice Beauty'' frowned, showing a displeased expression. After she strode into the living room of his house, she directly set her gaze on the two rural people, then parted her cherry lips, and called out, "Dad, Mom." Gu Cheng: ...? Lan Xinya:? Before the two of them figured out what was going on, Lan Shu turned sideways and looked at Xiao Bai''s parents, "Mrs. Wei, long time no see." Then she looked at Gu Anguo again, "Mr. Gu, hello." Lan Shu''s voice is clear, and her tone of voice is neither slow nor slow. Even when she sees seniors like Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo, she has a normal heart and greets each other without being humble or overbearing. And she didn''t call Xiaobai''s parents aunt or uncle without authorization because of her relationship with Xiaobai. Lan Shu will not rashly start a relationship with someone, only when she feels that it is related to that, she will call the other person by a further name. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Wei Qiushuang was very happy, she got up immediately, and walked to Lan Shu in a few steps. "Miss Lan, it''s been a while since I saw you, you look even more beautiful~" While Wei Qiushuang was speaking, she didn''t treat Lan Shu as a junior at all. Although this girl is only two or three years older than her son, she has a calm aura that is enough to commune with her peers. Ask for tickets every day~ In addition, thanks to Autumn & Maple Leaf for rewarding 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 82: a little business Chapter 82 A little business Wei Qiushuang''s words were not polite. I haven''t seen her for more than a month. Lan Shu has lost a lot of weight than before, and she is also more beautiful and more temperamental. At this moment, Wei Qiushuang even sighed in her heart, even though Lan Shu didn''t grow up in the city, but in terms of appearance, temperament and ability, few girls in the city can match her! Besides, Lan Xinya heard Aunt Wei''s "Miss Lan" and then thought of the girl''s address to her biological parents, Lan Xinya was stunned in surprise! Even if she heard it with her own ears, she still couldn''t believe that the fashionable and beautiful beauty in front of her was Lan Shu, the biological daughter of her parents who had exchanged nineteen years of life with her! Shouldn¡¯t the other party be a rustic and ignorant village woman? How could she be such a delicate, beautiful and stylishly dressed beauty? ! Lan Xinya couldn''t figure it out, what went wrong? With the conditions of her biological parents in the countryside, can she raise such an outstanding child? Gu Cheng was really shocked by what he saw in front of him! How could ''Ice Beauty'' be the daughter raised by those two countrymen? She doesn''t have the slightest rusticity of a countryman in terms of dress and temperament. Or is it because the other party is coming to Kyoto, so they packed up in advance? Her cold appearance is just a temporary faux pas? Gu Cheng was not sure about this. And Lan Shu doesn''t need others to confirm. She politely greeted the two elders of the Gu family, and said a few words to Mrs. Wei, without even looking at Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya from the corner of her eyes. It seemed that they hadn''t seen the existence of the two of them at all. This feeling of being completely ignored made Lan Xinya very uncomfortable. But Lan Xinya couldn''t ask Lan Shu face to face, ''Why are you ignoring me? '' That seems like he wants to gain attention. Although Gu Cheng on the side was silent, he was also in a bad mood! There are women who ignore themselves? ''Ice Beauty''''s ignorance is different from Xinya''s ignorance of him at the banquet. At that time, although Xinya was only focused on chatting with the little sister and didn''t pay attention to him, when Xinya saw him coming forward to say hello, she still showed a friendly and cheerful mood. But ''Ice Beauty'' is different! Gu Cheng could even feel that she was ignoring him from her cold eyes. Even disdain to pay attention to myself¡ª It''s just like he looked at Xinya''s two biological parents who came from the countryside before. No, not the same! Although I didn''t want to pay attention to those two countrymen, it was just contempt. But the ''Ice Beauty'' was completely indifferent to herself, without any emotion at all! That was a sign that he couldn''t catch her eyes at all¡ª This discovery made Gu Cheng frown, slightly angry in his heart! What is she? Just relying on having a pretty face, how dare you look down on yourself? At this moment, Wei Qiushuang asked, "Is Miss Lan coming to Beijing this time to visit her biological parents?" Lan Shu didn''t immediately nod her head to admit it, but replied softly, "Part of the reason is, but not all. The main reason is that I have some business to deal with here in the capital. When I''m done, I can just go back with my parents." Different from Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng''s contempt for the country folks, the "parents" she said refer to the old couple Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang. Others look down on them, but in Lan Shu''s heart, they are her close relatives¡ª Hearing what my daughter said, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were originally angry at their humiliation because of the object of their biological daughter. But now, their daughter is here~ The children they raised with their own hands also have them in their hearts. This made Chang Chunfang suddenly feel that it doesn''t matter even if she doesn''t have her own daughter... Lan Shengli also felt that with his daughter around, he felt at ease. Wei Qiushuang heard about Lan Shu''s intention to come. She knew that Lan Shu worked in a toilet paper factory, so she nodded. While Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng on the side heard Lan Shu say that she has business in Beijing? Lan Xinya was amazed that a divorced village woman could really bring her business to Kyoto? Isn''t this bragging? Gu Cheng didn¡¯t quite believe what the ¡®Ice Beauty¡¯ said. So he asked casually, "I don''t know what kind of business you are in?" Lan Shu originally didn''t intend to have any intersection with the hero and heroine, but now that Gu Cheng came to ask her in front of everyone, Lan Shu couldn''t pretend not to see this person anymore. She glanced sideways at Gu Cheng, and said in a flat tone, "It''s just a small business." She doesn''t intend to back up with outsiders. But she wanted to keep a low profile, but Xiao Bai beside her wanted to let everyone know how good Sister Lan is! "Mom, Sister Lan is now the factory director! Before she came to Kyoto this time, the sales department of the factory had already contacted more than 30 stores in Kyoto, and she will sell the products from the factory for a long time in the future." "Besides Kyoto, Sister Lan said that next big cities such as Haicheng and Yuanping will also have goods from the factory. In a few days, there will be good news." When Xiaobai talked about this, he looked proud. Maybe one day when he can make great achievements himself, he will not be proud. But Sister Lan is amazing, he couldn''t help but publicize it to let everyone know! Gu Cheng will not doubt Gu Jue''s words. He knows that his younger brother is not exaggerated, even after losing his memory, Gu Jue has not changed on this point. So now, Gu Jue said that the young ''ice beauty'' in front of him turned out to be the director of the factory? ! And different from myself, the business is only in Kyoto, and there are only two stores. The other party not only wants to do business with more than 30 stores in Kyoto, but even soon, the business will be as prosperous as Haicheng and Yuanping in Kyoto! Gu Cheng suddenly realized that he had underestimated this ''ice beauty'' before¡ª The other party is not only beautiful, but also very capable! This kind of ability is something his girlfriend Lan Xinya doesn''t possess at all. Gu Cheng likes Lan Xinya, and thinks that although she is not particularly beautiful, she is very special. But now, after the truly special woman appeared, in comparison, his girlfriend Lan Xinya seemed to have instantly turned into a vase whose appearance didn''t even reach full marks... Gu Cheng suddenly felt that his vision for women seemed really bad. Before, he liked Xinya, and his sincerity towards Xinya seemed to have lost a gleam of luster at this moment. Women have a strong sixth sense. When Lan Xinya saw her boyfriend talking to Lan Shu, she felt a sense of crisis in her heart! Now, she found that Gu Cheng looked at Lan Shu with a little more curiosity. When a man becomes curious about a woman, it is likely to be the beginning of the relationship between the two! ¡ª At this moment, Lan Xinya no longer felt a sense of crisis in her heart. Instead, she directly regarded her parents'' biological daughter as her imaginary enemy! (end of this chapter) Chapter 83: we are not familiar Chapter 83 We are unfamiliar Lan Shu didn''t know what Lan Xinya was thinking. Even if she knew, she wouldn''t take it seriously. Besides, Xiaobai made a high-profile announcement to his family about Sister Lan''s prowess in business, and then thought of letting Sister Lan sit down and rest. Lan Shu sat on the train all night last night. She didn''t arrive in Kyoto until after ten o''clock this morning, and then came directly to Gu''s house. She was indeed a little tired. So she sat at Gu''s house for a while, and talked with the enthusiastic Mrs. Wei for a while, and Lan Shu took the initiative to leave. Wei Qiushuang originally wanted everyone to have lunch together, but under her son''s reminder, she saw the tiredness in the little girl''s eyes. So she didn''t ask people to stay longer, but just made an appointment to call Lan Weicheng and his wife in the evening, and we had a get together. Lan Shu didn''t refuse, she nodded and agreed. When leaving Gu''s house, Wei Qiushuang specially asked the driver to take him to the guest house. Xiao Bai originally wanted to follow the car to send Sister Lan to the place and then back, but Lan Shu said, "You don''t need to make an extra trip." made him change his mind and stay at home obediently. Gu Jue, who is so obedient and even a little obedient, has never been seen by parents Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo! Son''s obedience made Wei Qiushuang not only envious, but also exaggerated the importance of Lan Shu to his son from the bottom of his heart. ¡­ The driver drove the car to the guest house. Wei Qiushuang had already called the guest house in advance and reserved a room. Lan Shu told her parents not to ask her to eat at noon, and then she went back to her room and fell asleep¡ª She didn''t close her eyes last night, she was really sleepy. So she fell asleep until four or five o''clock in the afternoon before waking up. At this time, Xiao Bai had been waiting for an hour or two in the lobby downstairs of the guest house. Besides Xiaobai, there was another unexpected person who was there for unknown reasons. Gu Cheng came to pick him up. His adoptive mother said that he would have dinner together in the evening, so he volunteered to pick up Lan Shu at the guest house. Gu Cheng was driving a black car, which he ordered some time ago, and it just arrived today, so he directly drove the brand new and shiny car over. Xiaobai also brought the car. As the only grandson of the Wei family, he can move it around as the driver of the Wei family. So the sight of two cars parked outside the guest house made the passers-by curiously stretch their necks to look inside. Who is the big guy living in the guest house today? When Lan Shu got up, washed up briefly, changed her clothes and went downstairs, she immediately saw Xiao Bai in the lobby on the first floor of the guest house. and the hero of the novel... Gu Cheng! Lan Shu:? It''s normal for Xiaobai to pick her up for dinner, but why did Gu Cheng appear here? Seemingly seeing her doubts, Gu Cheng stepped forward a few steps, stood still in front of her, and then said, "Miss Lan, the car outside is ready, and I will pick you up to the Kyoto Hotel in the evening." Xiao Bai immediately frowned when he heard what his brother said¡ª He suddenly remembered his previous assumption, if Sister Lan and that Lan Xinya hadn''t been hugged wrong since they were young, maybe his brother''s girlfriend now is Sister Lan? Under such associations, Xiaobai instantly felt prickly all over his body! "Sister Lan..." He was about to say that he also brought a car, and told Sister Lan not to go with his brother. But Lan Shu said to Gu Cheng seriously, "No need, we don''t know each other well." "Although I didn''t know each other before, I can get to know each other in the future." Gu Cheng didn''t seem to hear Lan Shu''s refusal. He is very interested in the biological daughter of the Lan family. Hearing what Gu Cheng said, Lan Shu suddenly raised her head and looked at him. She doesn''t understand this. If there is nothing to show courteousness, it''s either **** or theft. What is Gu Cheng planning? But no matter what he pays attention to, Lan Shu will always keep in mind that he must never get too close to the male lead! The male protagonist belongs to the female protagonist. No matter how many conflicts, quarrels, love-hate entanglements occur between the two, they will still be together in the end. And any other opposite **** besides the heroine besides the heroine will not end well! She is already a control group for the heroine, but she must not become the ''cannon fodder'' used by the hero to prove the sincere relationship between him and the heroine. So Lan Shu returned immediately after Gu Cheng finished speaking, "I already know you, Xiaobai''s brother, my parents'' biological daughter''s boyfriend." Gu Cheng can have many identities, but in Lan Shu''s eyes, they are those who have nothing to do with her and are not familiar with her through other people. After finishing speaking, she greeted Xiaobai immediately, "Come, accompany me to the neighborhood to buy some food to pad my stomach, and then call my parents down later." From last night to now, Lan Shu hasn''t eaten for more than ten hours, and she''s already hungry. Even if Xiao Bai didn''t come, she still wanted to go out for a simple meal by herself, and then go to Mrs. Wei''s appointment at night. Xiaobai heard what Sister Lan said, and was about to go out immediately. Aside, Gu Cheng saw that she was quite comfortable and familiar in front of Gu Jue, and could even order Gu Jue at will, but she didn''t even bother to give him half a look. He suddenly felt unwilling! Gu Cheng lived in the compound with his father after he was eight years old. The children in the compound who were about his age knew that he was not the child of Wei Qiushuang and his father, so he didn''t have many friends. At that time, Gu Cheng didn''t feel anything. But ever since Gu Jue was born, Gu Jue, who was only three or four years old, would never lack playmates by his side as long as he came out to play. In contrast, it seems that everyone is turning around Gu Jue, but no one wants to pay attention to him. It is also because of this that Gu Cheng wanted to stand out and cover up the ''light'' of Gu Jue. He wants everyone to see him! Instead of taking Gu Jue as the pride of the Gu family¡ª Through his unremitting efforts, he finally achieved what he is now. He is rich and famous, and he will be complimented wherever he goes. But now, some people still only see Gu Jue, but not themselves! Gu Cheng watched Lan Shu and Gu Jue leave from the gate of the guest house with fixed eyes. His originally proud expression turned cold in an instant! At this moment, he wants to take away everything around Gu Jue! Including the woman who looked at him with a frosty face and didn''t see him in her eyes at all¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai casually strolled around the guest house, and there was a baker selling sesame seed cakes at the entrance of the nearby alley. Looking at the freshly baked, golden-yellow and crispy sesame seed cakes that the owner of the sesame seed stall was making and selling, Lan Shu immediately prepared to pay for one of the salty and sweet flavors. But before she had time to take out the money, Xiao Bai had already paid the bill first. "Sister Lan, I used to have no money. I ate and spent what you had. Now that I have money, all my money will be yours from now on." Xiaobai said in a non-joking tone. "It''s all mine?" Lan Shu burst out laughing because of Xiao Bai''s innocent words. Then she looked at Xiao Bai seriously, with a preaching tone. "A man''s money can''t be given to other women casually. It''s to be saved to marry a wife. In the future, when you grow up and get married and have a daughter-in-law, you should give the money to the daughter-in-law~" (end of this chapter) Chapter 84: no need to keep it Chapter 84 is not necessary to keep grow up¡­? Xiaobai really didn''t expect that he hadn''t grown up in Sister Lan''s heart? Such cognition made him suddenly feel depressed! He wanted to explain that he was no longer a child, but he felt that such an explanation was too feeble. He could even imagine that once he said that, Sister Lan would definitely reply in a tone that appeased his self-esteem, ''Okay~ you have grown up. '' True maturity is not what others say, but it is actually felt! So Xiaobai didn''t explain, he just remained silent for a while, watching Sister Lan eating the crunchy biscuits "KaζÖäζ~". When Sister Lan was halfway through eating, he immediately handed over a bowl of sweet water that he had just bought at another stall. After Lan Shu ate half full and drank sweet water, her empty stomach had something to eat, and she felt much more comfortable. Then the two returned to the guest house, and Xiaobai asked Sister Lan to wait downstairs. He went upstairs to call Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan, and the four of them drove to the Jingdu Hotel together. ¡­ At 6:30 p.m., in the private room on the second floor of the Kyoto Hotel, Lan Weicheng and his wife finally saw their biological daughter again! Seeing that her daughter has lost a lot of weight compared to before, Xu Shan only feels sorry for the child. Daughter is too busy to lose weight... Lan Weicheng did not observe so carefully, he was happy when he saw his daughter, and simply thought that his biological daughter was capable~! Looking at his daughter''s temperament, she is becoming more and more leadership! In the private room, in front of the standard round table for ten people, the two families of the Lan family cousins, and the Gu family were just full. Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang sat in the middle of the main seat, with Lan Weicheng and Lan Shengli cousins ??on one side, and Xu Shan and Chang Chunfang''s sister-in-law on the other. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were sitting together, and Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng were also sitting together. Most of the people present have gathered together for the second time in these two days. Compared to the awkward atmosphere at the dinner table last night, this time it was harmonious. The food in the restaurant is served quickly, and Xiao Bai knows what Lan Shu likes to eat. Seeing the fish on the table, Xiaobai immediately picked up the chopsticks and silently put several pieces into the bowl in front of Sister Lan. Then he served Sister Lan another bowl of sweet soup and put it beside her. After that, he chose what he liked to eat, and took a few bites casually. Besides, as long as she goes out with her son, Wei Qiushuang will always look at her son most of the time. When she sees his son taking such good care of a girl, sometimes she even wonders if his son likes her? Although Lan Shu seems to be older than her son, Wei Qiushuang doesn''t really mind. If she was the kind of person who cared about worldly views, she would not have married Gu Anguo, who was seven or eight years older than herself, married and widowed, with a son. With this thought in mind, Wei Qiushuang looked at Lan Shu again, and from the initial gratitude and appreciation, it became softer. Lan Shu didn''t know what Wei Qiushuang was thinking, but Lan Xinya, who was sitting not far from her, felt something sensitively. Lan Xinya felt that not only Aunt Wei looked at Lan Shu kindly, but even Gu Cheng beside her had already glanced at Lan Shu several times after sitting down today! Lan Xinya originally regarded Lan Shu as an imaginary enemy, but the current situation made her even more dangerous about her relationship¡ª Facing a table of delicious dishes at this time, Lan Xinya has no appetite to eat at all. Her fingers holding the chopsticks were even turning white due to too much force... Lan Xinya never thought that one day she would envy a village woman who grew up in the countryside! Lan Shu not only looks better than herself, but also has a successful career. Although Lan Xinya didn''t want to admit it, she had to admit that she and Lan Shu were not on the same level at all! It''s not that I''m low-level, but that Lan Shu has already walked far ahead¡ª¡ª In the past, Lan Xinya felt that she could be regarded as an excellent big city girl with a tutor, a degree, and a good knowledge of books. But now, she found that Lan Shu''s impression completely surpassed her! Lan Xinya was even a little jealous of Lan Shu. But there is one thing, neither the two elders of the Gu family nor Gu Cheng have any idea that under Lan Shu''s seemingly excellent appearance, she is just a divorced woman! Lan Xinya suddenly had the idea of ??wanting to pierce Lan Shu''s perfect appearance and expose the real her to the public eye¡ª After she thought so, she did. Lan Xinya took a slow breath, trying to make herself look calm and calm. Afterwards, while picking up food as if nothing had happened, she asked casually, "Sister Lanshu, I heard from your parents that you were married in the village before, and for what reason did you get divorced?" This sentence sounds like a casual chat, but the content is actually quite exciting! In this day and age, divorce can definitely be regarded as a shameful thing! Even if Lan Xinya downplays the question when she asks the question, when the words spread to the ears of the audience around her, they are still stunned like a bombshell! Lan Shengli and his wife never expected that their biological daughter would tell this in front of outsiders! Although his daughter doesn''t care about divorce, that doesn''t mean that others don''t care! They don''t want others to look at their beloved and grown-up children with strange eyes because of this incident! So Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang immediately frowned and looked at their own daughter with reproachful expressions. Lan Weicheng on the side was even more sullen, and shouted in a warning tone, "Xinya!" Although Lan Weicheng didn''t know the details of his own daughter''s divorce, he knew it would hurt people when he thought about it. But now, his adopted daughter is indifferent, telling the story of her own daughter''s unbearable past in public. Xinya is so inconsiderate, how can Lan Shengli not be angry? Lan Shu was married, except for Xiao Bai, no one else in the Gu family knew. Wei Qiushuang was the most surprised! She really didn''t expect that the little girl still had such a past. Gu Anguo was also very surprised, but it had nothing to do with their family. And Gu Cheng next to Lan Xinya heard that the woman he was about to **** from Gu Jue was already married? ! This made Gu Cheng frowned. He felt more prejudice and dislike for this woman, Lan Shu. Only Xiaobai looked at Lan''s adopted daughter with displeasure the first time Lan Xinya said that sentence. "Does this have anything to do with you?" He said coldly. Before, Xiaobai had no impression of the adopted daughter of the Lan family, but now, he hates that woman who talks a lot! As the person involved, Lan Shu felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table had changed, and she heard Xiao Bai''s voice defending herself, so she slowly raised her head, glanced around, and finally landed on Lan Xinya. She didn''t seem to notice the reactions of other people around her, but calmly answered Lan Xinya''s question in a calm voice. "The reason for my divorce is nothing more than that the man is not sincere to me, he is just a door-to-door son-in-law. Since I can''t figure out my position, there is no need to keep it~!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 85: The heroine is not stupid Chapter 85 The heroine is not stupid and sweet After the words fell, Lan Xinya was surprised from ear to ear because of Lan Shu''s answer... She, she actually described such a scandal as divorce as if it was no big deal? This kind of not being ashamed of divorce, but contempt for a man''s status, and even a domineering feeling in his tone, Lan Xinya never thought of it! Lan Shu''s answer surprised even Wei Qiushuang, a woman with a good family background and quite a status nowadays. It seems that in the eyes of this little girl, a man is just an object. Her freedom and ease made Wei Qiushuang even a little admired. At this moment, even Gu Cheng''s impression of Lan Shu changed. What this woman said made it easy for him to think of his previous self. Before he met Xinya, he also had this idea. At that time, he was successful in his career, and many women with impure thoughts rushed towards him, but he dismissed them. Because he didn''t pay attention to those women at all, and felt that they who had other plans were not qualified to stay by his side. After listening to Lan Shu''s answer just now, Gu Cheng suddenly felt emotionally sympathetic towards Lan Shu, and thought that they were evenly matched. Because they both have strong hearts, he didn''t dislike this woman any more. Compared to the different ideas of the people around, Lan Shu was very calm. After she finished speaking, she continued to lower her head to eat the fish in her bowl. It seemed that a trivial incident just happened. Xiaobai was relieved when she saw that sister Lan beside her was not affected by the words of the adopted daughter of the Lan family. But he still hates the woman next to his brother who doesn''t know how to speak! Lan Xinya didn''t expect that Lan Shu would cover it up with a few words in such a situation. And neither the Gu family nor Gu Cheng seemed to have a bad impression of Lan Shu because of this. She stared at Lan Shu incredulously, seeing Lan Shu finished eating the fish slowly, and calmly took two mouthfuls of the sweet soup served for her by the young master of the Gu family, and then gracefully took out a piece of snow-white and delicate paper from her pocket. , wiped his mouth. Before arriving, Lan Shu had already eaten sesame seed cakes to fill her stomach. Now she ate some casually, and she was already seven or eight percent full. For Lan Shu who still needs to control her diet to keep in shape, she can already eat enough for today''s dinner. Now that there is nothing else to do, Lan Shu wants to ask Lan Xinya some questions. She raised her head, set her eyes on Lan Xinya, and said, "By the way, Miss Lan seemed to call me sister just now?" Lan Shu suddenly mentioned this matter, and her clear voice instantly drew everyone''s attention at the dinner table to her¡ª Lan Xinya also looked at Lan Shu with doubts in her eyes, slightly puzzled why she asked such a question. But soon, Lan Xinya heard Lan Shu say¡ª "I''m used to doing whatever I want. When I was at home, the whole family spoiled me. I couldn''t take on the responsibility of being an older sister and taking care of my younger sister." "Besides, who is the older and the younger of the two of us? It''s been so long. I believe the parents can''t remember clearly, so it''s good for Miss Lan to call me by my name in the future. Let''s forget about my sister." What Lan Shu said was obviously dividing the relationship with Lan Xinya. She is not afraid of offending Lan Xinya, nor does she want to force herself to be a ''good sister'' with Lan Xinya against her conscience because of her parents. From the fact that Lan Xinya deliberately set herself up just now, Lan Shu can see that Lan Xinya, the heroine of the novel, is not the silly, white and sweet heroine in most novels. The heroine has a scheming heart, and sees that she is not pleasing to the eye, and if the control group fails, she wants to step on her own dissatisfaction. Lan Shu doesn''t care if she is someone else, but if she wants to step on herself, that''s impossible! At this time, except for the two elders of the Lan family, everyone present could hear the indifference towards Lan Xinya in Lan Shu''s words. Only the couple Lan Shengli and Lan Weicheng felt that their daughter/biological daughter was used to being pampered since she was a child, and she should be more arrogant. Lan Weicheng and his wife even felt a little more grateful to Lan Shengli and his wife because of Lan Shu''s words. Hearing their own daughter''s words, it means that the child has never suffered since childhood. They are of course happy when they think that their daughter was raised by pampering. Besides, Lan Xinya was publicly pointed out by Lan Shu that the title of "sister" was inappropriate, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But she has already seen that Lan Shu''s temperament is not at all disadvantaged, in order to avoid further embarrassment, Lan Xinya can only bear herself, and replied to Lan Shu with an uneasy face, "Got it. " Then, she doesn''t do anything superfluous. This meal is not over yet. Next, the Lan family and the Gu family will discuss the engagement between Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng. According to Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang''s thinking, they absolutely don''t want their own daughter to marry Gu Cheng, a man with high eyesight, who looks down on their villagers and lacks morals. Kelan Xinya is firm. Even before eating, she deliberately found Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang and had a private chat with them. If they don''t agree to her engagement, it''s destroying her relationship with her boyfriend and making her unhappy for the rest of her life¡ª Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang can see that blood relatives are not very important in the hearts of these children who grew up in the city. Their biological daughter didn''t have much affection for the two of them just because they were their biological parents. I don''t think they are qualified to stop her marriage. Since this is the case, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang no longer make fun of themselves. So when they were asked by the Gu family whether they agreed to the engagement of the two children, Lan Shengli nodded in agreement. As for the date of engagement, after the two parties discussed it, it was arranged at the end of next month. That is, a few days before the Chinese New Year. At the end of this meal, some people were happy, while others were sad... ¡­ After dinner, outside the gate of the restaurant, the family members said a few more words and then dispersed. Wei Qiushuang originally wanted the driver to take Lan Shu and her parents back to the guest house first, but Lan Shu declined. Because the Gu family members also have to use their car to go home, it would be too much delay to send them off first. Besides, the restaurant is not too far from the guest house, so she and her parents walked on the road, treating it as a meal to digest. Hearing Lan Shu''s reason for refusal, Wei Qiushuang no longer insisted. So she, her husband, and her son left by car first. Actually, Xiaobai originally wanted to give Sister Lan a gift, but Lanshu shook her head. "Don''t be so troublesome, come to me tomorrow if you are free, and follow me to the shops in Kyoto that want to cooperate with the factory." She still has contracts for 37 stores waiting to be signed. As the largest shareholder of the toilet paper factory, Xiaobai still needs to know about his industrial sales channels. Even if Xiaobai''s ambition is not in the business circle, it is not a bad thing to see more things and increase his experience. Sister Lan has an appointment, so Xiaobai naturally agrees. The two agreed on a time to meet tomorrow before Xiaobai left by car with his parents. (end of this chapter) Chapter 86: be envious Chapter 86 Greedy Eyes As soon as Xiaobai and his family left, Lan Weicheng also left with his wife and adopted daughter. Lan Xinya lives with her parents. Originally, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also planned to let Lan Shu live at home, but Lan Shu refused because she wanted to stay with her parents these days. If she comes alone during the Chinese New Year, it will not be too late to live with her biological parents. Lan Weicheng knew that his biological daughter was assertive, and since she refused to agree, it would be useless to persuade him any more. After the three of Lan Weicheng left, Lan Shu went back to the guest house with her parents. But she hadn''t taken a few steps when a black car suddenly stopped in front of her¡ª Gu Cheng drove here today, except for Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, no one knows. The car window rolled down slowly, revealing Gu Cheng''s upright face. "Miss Lan, why don''t I take you back to the guest house?" Gu Cheng suggested. "No need." Lan Shu refused without thinking. "Your parents are old after all..." Gu Cheng tried to use his family to change Lan Shu''s mind. But in the next second, he heard Lanshu say lightly, "Then you probably don''t know, my parents walk to work every day at home, walking seven or eight miles, without blushing or panting, let alone How far is it to the guest house?" After finishing speaking, she paused, and added, "You look down on us rural people too~!" Lan Shu made a pun. Gu Cheng looked down on them rural people, but the reason he looked down on was not that he was too old to walk much, but because of the poverty in the countryside. Lan Shu''s innuendo directly hit Gu Cheng''s thoughts. Seeing that Gu Cheng was momentarily at a loss for words, she smiled coldly. Then he took his parents, bypassed the car on the side of the road, and strode away without looking back¡ª Lan Shu didn''t know, but her sneer with contempt and disdain made Gu Cheng sit in the car, stunned for a long time. Gu Cheng has never seen such a woman before! She has an inexplicably powerful aura that almost overwhelms him! He couldn''t help being aroused to be competitive, wanting to conquer her¡ª A woman like this is really much more interesting than Lan Xinya. At this moment, Gu Cheng even had the idea of ??not wanting to get engaged... ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai met, and they had breakfast at a small shop near the guest house. Afterwards, Lan Shu took Xiaobai to meet the sales team leader sent by the factory to Kyoto to develop business earlier. Last night, she had gone on a business trip to the factory, and the sales team leader Li, who is currently in Kyoto, called and made an appointment for a time and place to meet in the morning. Waiting for the two parties to meet, the three of them took the bus all the way to the stores in Kyoto that were planning to establish long-term sales partnerships with their toilet paper factories. Every time she goes to a store, Lan Shu will sign the contract as soon as possible, and then go to the next store. Because there are too many stores, and they are scattered in all directions of Kyoto, Team Leader Li, who was in charge of sales at the time, took several people in the team and ran for a few days before negotiating the cooperation of 37 stores. Now Lan Shu has to run alone to sign contracts one by one, and it takes a lot of time just on the road. One morning, Lan Shu only visited four stores. To run through the thirty-seven stores, I will not be able to stay idle for the next few days. Xiaobai saw Sister Lan working so hard, so she immediately called and called Wei''s driver. With the means of transportation, they went to various places to sign contracts much faster, and they ran to nine stores in the afternoon. If this goes on, in two days at most, the signings of the thirty-seven stores will be completed! Sitting in the car, Lan Shu was very greedy for the car as a means of transportation. At the beginning, she thought that the paper mill was a large-scale factory, and the leader always had a car, right? But after getting to know Director Zhu, Lan Shu realized that there was not a single car in the entire paper mill. Factory Director Zhu, the biggest leader of the No. 1 factory, also rides a bicycle to work every day. Later, the toilet paper factory was separated from the paper mill. With the small scale of the toilet paper factory, it is natural that there is no need to think about buying a car. However, with the current development speed of the toilet paper factory, it may not be impossible to buy a car before the end of the year. Lan Shu didn''t want to buy a car for the sake of style, but because having a car makes it very convenient to go out and do errands in many cases. Besides, Xiaobai saw Sister Lan''s mind wandering, and he couldn''t help but want to know what Sister Lan was thinking at the moment. But it is impolite to pry into other people''s thoughts casually. Xiao Bai knew that his relationship with Sister Lan was not to the point where he could talk to each other and open his heart. So Xiaobai held back his thoughts. But besides that, he still has a question. "Sister Lan, in fact, we don''t need to run from store to store. I noticed before that there are basically telephones in those stores. Just give them a call and let them gather time to sign the contract together. Wouldn''t it save a lot of trouble?" Lan Shu was slightly surprised to hear Xiao Bai asking questions about business. She was slightly stern, thinking about how to explain to Xiaobai so that he could understand more clearly, and then she spoke. "Your idea is a good way to save us time and effort, but there are twists and turns in doing business, and we can''t treat it as normal." "If we do that, we will give the 37 store owners a chance to get to know each other. If their terminal sales are too close, it will not be a good thing for the manufacturer." "Before our factory is really bigger and stronger, if a bunch of store owners unite and use this as a bargaining chip to lower the price of sanitary napkins in our toilet paper factory, that will be a big problem!" "So I would rather trouble myself and run more, and I don''t want something to happen to the terminal sales one day." Xiaobai learned a word from Sister Lan''s words¡ªterminal sales. Although he heard this word for the first time, he felt it was very appropriate. Sister Lan knows a lot! If it were him to do business instead, he would definitely not have considered these things. In that way, you are planting hidden dangers behind your own business. At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly felt that his thought was not just a thought, as if one day...he experienced it? Xiao Bai frowned, is it a sign that his memory has recovered? He has been taking blood stasis medicine for more than a month. But¡­ I heard from my parents that I lived with my grandfather in the army most of the time, and the school I went to was also an internal military academy, and I had no contact with business matters. Then where do these thoughts of me seem to have done business come from? Xiaobai couldn''t figure it out. At this moment, Lan Shu didn''t know that the memories that Xiao Bai would recover were not only his youthful memories of the past ten years. And there will be memories of what should have happened in this world, but did not happen, and he took a different path from the present... (end of this chapter) Chapter 87: paper mill bankruptcy Chapter 87 Paper Mill Bankruptcy For the next two days, Xiaobai ran around with Lanshu the whole time. Although they have a car as a means of transportation, the high-intensity going out these days has not only tired the body, but also the heart. Xiaobai only realized at this time that the factory manager is not so easy to do! Sister Lan really worked too hard. Such hard work made Xiaobai feel that he must make some compensation to Sister Lan! It''s not just the factory manager''s monthly salary of 200 yuan. As a major shareholder, he wants to give his factory director an additional share, as a reward for the factory director''s dedication to the factory! Xiaobai holds 49% of the shares in the toilet paper factory. He felt that he just invested some money and did not make any contribution to the actual development of the factory, so Xiao Bai actually wanted to transfer all the shares he held to Sister Lan''s name in his heart. But he knew that Sister Lan would definitely not accept it. But now, he wants to reward the factory director with shares. As long as it is not too exaggerated, under reasonable circumstances, Sister Lan should not refuse. So Xiaobai has already made up his mind, he will transfer 5% of the shares to Sister Lan''s name first. As for the others, take your time in the future~ ¡­ On the other hand, while Lan Shu was busy signing contracts with shop owners in Kyoto, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were not idle either. The two returned to Lan Shengli''s old house in Kyoto, and cleaned up as much as possible at home. Even if they couldn''t afford it, they couldn''t bear to let the house be abandoned. And pack it up, maybe the next time Shushu comes to Kyoto, she can come and stay for two days. Lan Shengli''s old house is not big, only three tile-roofed houses with a small yard, at most a hundred square meters. The husband and wife have lived in the village for so many years, and they have already become experts at work. Chang Chunfang cleaned the house, and Lan Shengli went to repair the roof. With the division of labor between the two, the old house looked at least liveable in less than two days. Before Lan Shu finished signing contracts with merchants in Kyoto and the family of three left Kyoto, they still had time to visit the old house. Lan Shengli means that when the time comes, he will take his daughter back to the old house to recognize the door. Even if Lan Shu is not his biological daughter, but the kindness of nurturing him for so many years, even if Lan Shengli has a biological daughter, it will not affect his family Shu Shu''s position in his heart. Lan Shu came to Kyoto this time and stayed for a total of four days. On the morning of the fifth day, she and Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang left Kyoto by train and returned to Qingyang County¡ª ¡­ Qingyang County, paper mill. The day before Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County, the paper mill officially declared bankruptcy! During this period, even if the factory manager Zhu made various arrangements for the development of the paper mill, he could not restore a factory with stagnant business development, scattered employees, and on the verge of bankruptcy. Factory Manager Zhu is just like what he told Lan Shu at the beginning, in the end he and the factory will live and die together¡ª When the paper mill declared bankruptcy, he, as the factory manager, also finished his job. Originally, he could put down the paper factory and work as the director of the toilet paper factory with peace of mind. But now, even if he returns to the toilet paper factory, the position of factory manager no longer belongs to him. On the day Lan Shu came back from Kyoto, she didn''t go to the factory, but rested at home for a day. It was only later that she learned about the closure of the paper mill. ¡­ The toilet paper factory side. Although the paper mill is closed, it has nothing to do with the tissue mill and will not be affected. But the employees in the toilet paper factory used to be employees of the paper factory, and many of them would be finished just thinking about their former "old employer"! Thinking of the colleagues who used to work in the same factory as me, they were unemployed on a large scale! Many people have a feeling of ''the rabbit dies and the fox is sad''. Even if the employees of the paper mill and the toilet paper factory had fought, at this time, no one was thinking about the gains and losses of the original fight. They just feel sorry for the workers in the paper mill. Of course, workers who deserve sympathy only account for a part. Those who hang up their jobs and drag down the whole factory, don¡¯t need to pay attention to¡ª While sympathizing with others, they think of themselves. Fortunately, I work in a toilet paper factory. With such good benefits in the factory, their jobs are stable. But even so, they can''t be careless. With the lessons learned from the paper mill, let them know clearly that they can only work hard and strive to make the factory develop better. In the future, they will not go on the same path as the paper mill workers¡ª ¡­ In the morning, Lan Shu first went to her garment factory to check the situation of the garment factory. During the few days she was away, Secretary Tang and A Xing, one was in charge of finances and shipments, and the other was in charge of workers'' work and fabric purchases. In addition, Xie Xiaoju was behind to ensure the supply of various styles of clothing, and the operation of the factory was smooth¡ª¡ª Several people were able to handle the situation in the factory so well without Lan Shu''s presence, which made Lan Shu feel that she could let Secretary Tang and A Xing let go more in the future. Lan Shu is no longer just the director of a factory. In the future, her business development direction will only be more! By that time, she can''t take care of everything by herself. So now, both Secretary Tang and A Xing are regarded by her as good seedlings of professional managers she will train in the future. As for Xie Xiaoju and sister-in-law Xie, although she is hard working and does a good job, she is not a managerial talent. The end of the year is coming soon, and Xie Xiaoju''s contribution is indispensable to the development of the factory. Lan Shu plans to wait for the Chinese New Year to give Xie Xiaoju, the veteran of the factory, more bonuses. After reading the situation at the garment factory, Lan Shu went to the toilet paper factory. Arriving at the factory, Lan Shu was looking for Secretary Qu to find out about the situation in the factory in the past few days, when she ran into Director Zhu downstairs in her office. It''s been a while since I saw him, and Director Zhu looks much older than before. His eyes are full of exhaustion, and there are even some gray hairs on his temples. "Director Zhu." Lan Shu stepped forward and greeted Director Zhu proactively. When Director Zhu saw Lan Shu, he had a complicated and melancholy expression on his face. "Director Lan, long time no see." Although Director Zhu works in the paper factory next door, he also pays attention to the development of the toilet paper factory on weekdays. He knew that after Lan Shu took over the position and burden of the factory manager, the toilet paper factory would have a bright future under her leadership. At that time, Director Zhu knew that he was right. Sure enough, the little girl Lanshu is a good candidate to be the factory manager! She has grown rapidly from the position of factory director, and now she is able to be herself. Director Zhu is very happy for Lan Shu, and also for the future prospects of the toilet paper factory workers. He came to the toilet paper factory today because he thought of something Lan Shu said back then. ¡ªHe''s always welcome back here. In fact, Director Zhu felt that with Lan Shu in the toilet paper factory, he was no longer needed. But no matter what, Factory Manager Lan once sincerely invited him, even if he is not going to return to the toilet paper factory, but before he finds a new job, he will come back and inform Factory Manager Lan first. Ask for tickets~ ... Please insist on ''feeding'', let the novel thrive~ Comparing heart(`)~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 88: Deputy director Chapter 88 Deputy Factory Director Learning that Director Zhu plans to work in another factory, Lan Shu is stunned¡ª "Director Zhu, you really don''t plan to come back and use your abilities in the toilet paper factory we created together?" Lan Shu was surprised. "Aren''t you going to watch our toilet paper factory develop from a small factory to become the number one factory in the same industry in China?" Hearing what Lan Shu said, Director Zhu sighed~ "But having you in the factory is enough, even if I come back, I won''t be of much help." He spoke from his heart. "How can you say that? Director Zhu, the development of the toilet paper factory is inseparable from you!" Lan Shu''s words were not out of politeness, but from the heart. "Director Zhu, you don''t know. During the period when I was the director of the factory, I realized how difficult it is to be the director of the factory! I also hope that one day you can come back to help me. How can you bear to say goodbye to me now? where?" Lan Shu looked at Director Zhu with a serious expression. "But I..." Director Zhu hesitated for a moment. "Director Zhu, I can relax when you come back, and you may not know that in addition to the toilet paper factory, I also opened a clothing factory." "I still need to worry about the business of the clothing factory. If you don''t come back to help me, how can I have the energy to let the two factories develop together?" "But..." Director Zhu still hesitated. "Director Zhu, you can come back, anyway, wherever you go to work is work, it is better to return to the field you are familiar with." As Lan Shu spoke, she was still observing Director Zhu''s expression. Seeing the shaken expression on his face, she continued. "Director Zhu, the toilet paper factory still lacks a deputy factory director. I think this position is very suitable for you." She has already figured out where Director Zhu will be when he comes back. "And Director Zhu, you are a minority shareholder in our factory, come back to work and fight for your own business, what''s wrong with that?" What really moved Director Zhu was Lan Shu''s last words. Yeah, the toilet paper factory is his business! It¡¯s not because he owns a share in the toilet paper factory, but because he chose to cooperate with Lan Shu to transform the toilet paper factory because he really wanted to build a toilet paper factory! Once upon a time, he was full of expectations for the development of the toilet paper factory¡ª It''s a pity that he had to shoulder too many things halfway, so he couldn''t accompany the toilet paper factory all the way. Now, I have the opportunity to return to the toilet paper factory, work in the factory that I put my heart and soul into, and contribute to the growth of the factory. What else can I hesitate? "Okay, I''ll stay!" Director Zhu nodded heavily, agreeing to Lan Shu''s invitation. Although he can no longer be the director of the factory, Director Zhu feels that the position of deputy factory director is really suitable for him. The grand strategy for the development of the factory is under the control of Director Lan, and he is constantly "adding bricks and tiles" to the long-term development of the factory. That afternoon, on the bulletin board of the toilet paper factory, there was a public announcement that Director Zhu was appointed as the deputy director of the toilet paper factory. Besides, because the toilet paper factory will continue to expand in the next step, it is now necessary to recruit some workshop workers. As for the matter of recruiting people, it was decided after joint discussions between Lan Shu and Director Zhu. Based on the current development of the toilet paper factory, the workshop has long been short-handed. Before, in order to produce sanitary napkins, several toilet paper machines in the factory stopped working. Next, there will be two new sanitary napkin production machines coming to the factory. At this time, it is necessary to recruit workers! On the day when the notice was posted, Director Zhu had privately notified some of the hard-working and down-to-earth workers at the previous paper mill. Although this recruitment is not internal, it would be good if the unemployed paper mill workers could have a chance to regain their jobs in this tissue factory recruitment. With Director Zhu around, Lan Shu no longer needs to worry too much about recruiting workers. After the number of people to be recruited is determined, the next step is to recruit people. The factory plans to recruit thirty-five to forty people this time. The reason why so many people are accepted at one time is that in addition to arranging workers for two sanitary napkin production machines, the toilet paper in the previous toilet paper production workshop has to be re-produced. Toilet paper has a small profit, but it is also beneficial. Moreover, Lan Shu''s plan is to improve technology and process in addition to producing toilet paper that is common in the market today, so as to make better toilet paper! Actually, Lan Shu discovered that their factory is capable of making better toilet paper. When she was in Kyoto before, the delicate toilet paper she carried with her in her pocket was made in the factory. It¡¯s just that the process of that kind of paper is a little more complicated, the cost is higher than normal toilet paper, and there is no stable sales channel. So there was no mass production in the factory before. But the situation is different now. With the "Yunrou" sanitary napkins opening up channels, there will be more high-end toilet papers in the future, and it will be no problem for daily use. Nowadays, people''s lives are getting better and better, and the quality of life should also be improved. It should not be difficult for some people to use some slightly better toilet paper in their daily life. As for the development direction of toilet paper, Lan Shu already has a preliminary idea. There is still a chance to make roll paper with today''s technology. As for paper drawing, it needs to be done slowly. In addition to roll paper, Lan Shu also plans to let the factory make some portable pocket paper. However, this kind of paper has higher requirements for the flexibility and fineness of the paper! How to make this kind of toilet paper more delicate and stronger than the quality of roll paper still needs to be studied by the old workers of the toilet paper factory. ¡­ The recruitment process lasted for three days, and finally thirty-six workers were recruited. Most of these people are well-known by the factory manager Zhu. The remaining few employees recruited from outside, Lan Shu also had people do background checks one by one to make sure that their character was basically good before they were brought into the factory. Here, after the workers entered the factory, they immediately began to learn how to operate the sanitary napkin production machine from the old employees in the previous factory. Only in this way, after the next two machines arrive at the factory, can the workers'' work progress be seamlessly connected and get started immediately. In addition, under the recommendation of Director Zhu, Lan Shu recruited several old employees from the toilet paper factory from the factory to let them do research on the improvement direction of toilet paper. Although everyone in the factory knows that the production of sanitary napkins is more profitable and the wages are higher, everyone wants to work on the sanitary napkin production machine. In order to promote the development of toilet paper, Lan Shu specially set up a high bonus. If the workers can make the toilet paper to the level of fineness and flexibility she requested, then who will get the bonus of 500 yuan! There must be a brave man under a lot of money, and several veteran employees immediately started their research work¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 89: Machinery factory customers Chapter 89 Machinery Factory Customers When everyone in the factory was working hard, Lan Shu was not idle. The machines needed to make roll paper are not available anywhere in the world. So this kind of machine can only be manufactured off-the-shelf. Fortunately, the technical requirements for rolling paper machines are not as high as those for sanitary napkin production machines. Lan Shu thinks it should be possible to manufacture them in China. In order to manufacture rolling paper machines, Lan Shu thought of the machinery factory next door. After several months, Lan Shu came to the machinery factory again¡ª ¡­ Qingyang County Machinery Factory. Because Lan Shu bought the idle workshop of the machinery factory, she is no stranger to the machinery factory. In addition, Director Zhu had called Director Liang of the machinery factory in advance. At this moment, Lan Shu had just arrived at the gate of the factory, and someone came to pick him up. The person who came to pick her up was Li Qiang, the manager Li who bought the idle factory last time. "Director Lan, rare customers, rare customers, I heard from Director Zhu, are you planning to buy a machine this time?" Li Qiang is not young. He has worked in the machinery factory for more than ten years. Lan Shu had something to say, she nodded, "Yes." "What kind of machine does Director Lan want to buy? The most produced in our factory are harvesters and threshing machines for rural use, and they are quite popular!" The state-owned factories in Qingyang County are now only steel mills and machinery factories with good profits. Other factories have basically either failed or transformed. At this moment, Li Qiang, Manager Li specifically mentioned harvesters and threshing machines, not only to show the strength of their machinery factory, but also to show off. Lan Shu listened to what Manager Li said, since the machinery factory can manufacture these machines, it is possible to manufacture the paper winding machine, right? So she immediately told Manager Li about her need for the machine. Hearing Director Lan''s description, Li Qiang fell silent. Although their machinery factory can produce harvesters and threshing machines, it is all because of the sample machines, and they are ready to produce them. What Director Lan wants is something they have never heard of, and they will never be able to make it! Manager Li¡¯s state of showing off just now subsided instantly, and he even said to Lan Shu a little embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Director Lan, we can¡¯t make the machine you want.¡± "Although this kind of machine doesn''t sound too difficult, the level of skilled workers in our factory is limited. You can go to the Linjiang Machinery Factory to ask. Their factory recruited several college students last year. They should be able to design the machine. .¡± After listening to Manager Li''s words, Lan Shu once again gained confidence in the roll paper making in their factory. So she bid farewell to Manager Li immediately, went home to pack her luggage a little bit, and went to Linjiang City that day¡ª ¡­ Linjiang Machinery Factory, Technology Department. It has been more than a week since Xu Yunjie transferred from Qingyang County Machinery Factory to Linjiang City Machinery Factory. Because of his divorce from Lan Shu, many people in the factory knew that he was the son-in-law of the Lan family. Afterwards, the story of "Ajie" appeared in the newspaper, and his image of an ungrateful scumbag was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! The Lan family supported him to go to college, but he disliked the daughter of the Lan family. Everyone in the factory knew these things. Later, he had the opportunity to be temporarily sent to study in a toilet paper factory, but was kicked out by Lan Shu from the toilet paper factory. After returning to the factory, rumors about him in the factory suddenly increased¡ª¡ª Xu Yunjie can feel the strange eyes of his colleagues looking at him every day in the factory. The ridicule and disgust behind those backs made him unable to stay in the county''s machinery factory any longer! So he thought of a way and relied on connections, and finally transferred to the city''s machinery factory. In the Qingyang County Machinery Factory, his technical level is considered good. But when he arrived at the machinery factory in Linjiang City, as far as his ability was concerned, if he hadn''t relied on his relationship, he wouldn''t have been able to enter the factory at all~! Xu Yunjie is a person from the countryside, his only relationship in the city is his girlfriend Li Xiumei¡ª Back in Qingyang County, Xiumei almost broke up with him because of Lan Shu''s trouble! Fortunately, his begging worked, and he finally coaxed Xiumei back. Xu Yunjie is very grateful for his choice. Fortunately, he kept Xiumei so that his career would have a chance to advance. Now Xiumei doesn''t care that he''s divorced anymore, and she even introduced a job for him through her family relationship. Next, as long as he does a good job, Xiumei said that he will take him to see his parents! At that time, he will be able to marry Xiumei and become a city dweller~! "Xu Yunjie, Hao Jianguo, the team leader asked everyone to gather in the department meeting room." In the staff dormitory, Xu Yunjie is on the evening shift today. It is really unusual for him to go to a meeting with off-duty colleagues at this time. Walking out of the staff dormitory and heading to their department meeting room, Xu Yunjie asked his colleague Xiao Liu who called them along the way to ask about the specific situation. "I heard that a customer came to the factory, and the other party needed a new machine. Although the machine is not complicated, it has never been seen before. We need to work hard to design the machine." Hao Jianguo was excited when he heard it! "This kind of new design machine can be paid for, and it''s not a lot! At least one or two hundred yuan!" Hearing that there is money to be made, Xu Yunjie immediately became active. The debt he owed to his colleagues at the Qingyang County Machinery Factory has not yet been paid off. Before he came to Linjiang City last week, the few workers in the factory who owed him money were still worried, for fear that he would renege on his debts. Fortunately, knowing that he was going to work at the Linjiang Machinery Factory, the workers were relieved. They also know that the salary of Linjiang City Machinery Factory is higher than that of their Qingyang County Machinery Factory, so that Xu Yunjie will pay back the money faster when the time comes. A few minutes later, Xu Yunjie came to the department meeting room with several colleagues. At this time, almost all the employees of the technical department of their machinery factory arrived, except those who were on duty in the workshop of the factory. The team leader described to everyone the specific situation of the customer''s need for the machine, and everyone expressed their opinions after listening. "It is really not difficult to design this kind of machine, but it will take some time." "The precision required by the machine is relatively high, and it should take some effort during the debugging process." "Let''s start designing in groups of three. As usual, whoever designs it first and the machine test is in good condition will get 50% of the design fee from the customer~!" said the head of the design department. The machinery factory is like this. In addition to the design cost, when the machine is designed and the customer wants to get the complete machine, they also need to pay the manufacturing cost. The design fee and manufacturing fee add up, so the profit is still considerable. Hearing what the team leader said, in the conference room, more than a dozen technical workers from the factory formed a team. Xu Yunjie, a newcomer, was quickly placed on the list because he had nothing outstanding technically¡ª No one wanted to be with him, which made Xu Yunjie extremely embarrassed. Not soon, he decided to come by himself! If the design is successful by myself, then the design cost will be all by myself. He is quite happy not to share money with others~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 90: Strong sales Chapter 90 Strong Sales Lan Shu stayed at the Linjiang Machinery Factory for one day, and returned to Qingyang County the next day. Before she left, she left the phone number of the toilet paper factory at the machinery factory. As long as the machinery factory makes progress in the design and manufacture of new machines, it will notify her as soon as possible. ¡­ Qingyang County, near the garment factory. The sales staff that Lan Shu sent to Linjiang City and several surrounding counties before have all returned. Everyone brings back some good news. Among the five salespersons, one of them was an honest-looking male salesperson in his thirties who wore glasses. In addition to doing business in Linjiang City, he also ran to two counties these days. Eight agents have been developed! Six of them are clothing stores in large shopping malls and prosperous areas in Linjiang City and two county towns. The performance of the remaining four sales staff is also good, each of them won three to five agents. As for the salaries of the sales staff, Lan Shu originally set a basic salary of 10 yuan per month per person, and the rest will be commissioned. As long as they are the agent they negotiated, after the factory sells the goods and settles the payment smoothly, they will be given a 1% commission from the net profit. Although this commission sounds small, in fact, as the sales staff develop more and more agents, the number of goods sold is increasing, and they can even collect money while lying down! Several sales staff were able to promise Lan Shu a low salary of ten yuan a month, which shows that they have a long-term vision. This is also an expression of confidence in their own abilities. The twenty-three agent clothing stores developed by the five salesmen quickly cleared out half of the clothing backlog in the clothing factory some time ago! Next, Lan Shu plans to recruit a few more female sewing machine workers and master tailors. Because she knows that once the newly added twenty-three agency clothing stores start selling clothes of their factory''Yunshu'' brand, the sales speed will be very fast! Moreover, with the working ability of these five salesmen in her factory, there will only be more agency stores in the factory in the future! Before the Chinese New Year, Lan Shu plans to advertise at least half of the clothing brand in the newspapers of Linjiang City. Let most people in Linjiang know their ''Yunshu'' clothing brand. Before the Chinese New Year, when people in the city buy new clothes, they may be more likely to prefer the clothes produced in their factories! Lan Shu did what she said, and this time she had Secretary Tang and A Xing to help her, which saved a lot of trouble. As for the recruitment of workers in the factory, Xie Xiaoju is still mainly responsible. This time, Lan Shu didn''t let Xie Xiaoju work for nothing. As long as she introduced workers who had passed the technical test and successfully entered the factory, Lan Shu would give her a five-yuan referral fee for each recruit. Xie Xiaoju was of course happy to get extra money. So under the cooperation of Secretary Tang, A Xing and Xie Xiaoju, all the workers and new sewing machines in the factory will be in place in two days! ¡ª While the ''Yunshu'' garment factory is growing, two new machines from the toilet paper factory have finally arrived. This time it was still Lan Shu''s foreign friend Mark who brought the machine to the factory. In addition to sending the machine for debugging, Mark taught for another week. Although many employees in their toilet paper factory have learned to use sanitary napkin production machines, their maintenance skills are still weak. Foreign technicians will give one week of teaching for free. Of course, this kind of opportunity should be cherished. Same as before, He Gong from the machinery factory came to consolidate his studies, and two technical workers from the toilet paper factory also selected to follow suit. These days when Mark was teaching, every time he met Lan Shu in the factory, he couldn''t help mentioning Xiaobai, the strongest learning ability he had ever seen in China. Knowing that Xiaobai is now the major shareholder of the factory and does not need to work hard in the factory to make money, Mark can''t help but lament that the opportunities in life are so fickle~! The young man who was already very happy because he got a bonus of 100 yuan from the toilet paper factory now owns almost half of the factory. Mark was amazed again and again, thinking that Huaguo is really a magical place¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Kyoto, Z district compound. It has been more than a week since Lan Shu left Kyoto. These days, the medical-related books Xiaobai reads have gone from the introductory type to the advanced version. Dr. Chen, who comes to Gu''s house every week to review Xiaobai''s recovery, was shocked when he learned of Xiaobai''s study progress! After Xiaobai told him that the books he recommended had been almost read, Dr. Chen still didn''t believe it. But when he asked Xiaobai a few medical questions, especially the effect of various drug combinations on the treatment of the disease, as well as the state of the patient during the recovery process, and the situation shown. were all answered by Xiaobai fluently. These answers are exactly the same as the standard answers in the book! After speaking, Xiaobai also told Dr. Chen his views on various drug combinations, and based on his understanding of drugs, he tried to make a new combination of drug dispensing methods according to the severity of the patient''s condition. Dr. Chen: ¡­ He used to just think that since the youngest son of the Gu family is interested in medicine, let him give it a try. Just learning something and using his brain will help his condition. But now, Dr. Chen discovered that Gu Jue was born to take the path of medicine! Fortunately, the former Wei Yezi managed to get his precious grandson into the army. Now it seems that it is simply reckless! A waste of Gu Jue''s time and talent! Originally, Dr. Chen was still on the sidelines about Gu Jue''s idea of ??going to medical school next year. But now, the afternoon he left Gu''s house, he went to the medical school, called his old friend, and told about Gu Jue''s situation. Because of Dr. Chen''s strong recommendation, Professor Zhang of Pharmacology of the School of Medicine is quite interested in Gu Jue''s coming to the School of Medicine next year for advanced studies. That kid from the Gu family is really so talented that Dr. Chen is amazed again and again? If this news is known to Lao Wei, he may be very distressed~ After all, the grandson I raised since childhood and had high hopes for does not intend to follow his path, but has other ideas. Anyone who is in this situation will be overwhelmed, and will be autistic for a while, right? ¡­ Gu Jia, Xiaobai has been taking blood stasis medicine for almost two months. Although he doesn''t know whether the blood clots in his brain have melted, he has already remembered some memories. It is said to be remembered, but it is not accurate. He just dreams about things from his childhood when he sleeps at night. For example, since he was a child in the compound, he has been very popular and has many friends. In addition to living in the compound when he was a child, he would be sent to live with his grandma in the county town for a long time from time to time. Grandma is very nice and treats him very dearly. He and grandma have a deep relationship. Growing up and going to school, he will be taken by his grandfather to live in the army for a month every winter and summer vacation, and he can only see his grandma during the Chinese New Year. These memories that turned into dreams probably lasted until he was ten years old. As for the situation after the age of ten, according to Xiao Bai''s understanding, he has not had time to dream about it yet. Started to explode! The plan has changed. Previously, it was planned to be updated for one day, but now it is planned to be updated for three days, with 10,000 words per day! Today is here~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 91: Li Xuans purpose Chapter 91 Li Xuan''s Purpose Last night, Xiaobai''s dream didn''t start to progress to the memory after the age of ten as he expected in advance. Instead, he dreamed that he started a company and started a business. The dream was hazy, and when I woke up, I only had such a little impression. Such a dream confuses Xiaobai. Could it be that because of Sister Lan''s business, he always thinks of Sister Lan, so he will substitute himself, dreaming at night? probably¡­? I thought so, but Xiaobai felt that it didn''t seem to be the case. Because his dream of starting a company and doing business is still very realistic even when he thinks about it now. As if that''s what happened to him... This feeling is not the first time. Xiaobai is in a very depressed mood. But he quickly adjusted his mentality to let himself relax. If these are not dreams, but certain memories, then one day in the future, he will understand why these dream memories appear. There is only one thing he needs to do now. ¡ªPatiently waiting for that day to come! ¡­ The next day, the weekend. Li Xuan finally came back from school. Li Xuan is in high school this year. The school she attends is a boarding school. She is busy studying in the third year of high school and can only come back once a month. After the holiday, Li Xuan''s heart seemed to let go. After returning home by bus in the morning, she immediately dressed herself meticulously, then took a bag of apples and went to the Gu family who lived on the other side of the compound. Because it''s the weekend, someone from the Gu family is at home. Li Xuan knocked on the door, and soon heard someone coming out of the house and opening the door for her. Entering the Gu family''s door, in the Gu family''s living room, Li Xuan said softly while putting the apple on the table. "Mrs. Wei, these are the apples I brought back from near the school. These apples are delicious, so I bring them here for you and Gu Jue to taste." Wei Qiushuang nodded, because the other party brought it all the way, so she couldn''t refuse it. But when receiving the apple, Wei Qiushuang was already thinking that when Li Xuan left later, she should get something in return. Seeing Mrs. Wei accepting the fruit she brought, Li Xuan was very happy. Then she asked another question with concern. "Mrs. Wei, I haven''t seen Gu Jue for a while, I don''t know how his condition is now?" This word reached Wei Qiushuang''s ears, which made her a little unhappy. Her son just lost his memory, how can it be said that it is a disease? But Wei Qiushuang couldn''t bear to show embarrassment when she saw someone deliberately caring about her son. She replied seriously, "Gu Jue''s condition is fine, he is already taking medicine, and it should be effective after a while." Hearing this answer, Li Xuan was slightly relieved. Actually, she didn''t want Gu Jue to recover her memory. Because Gu Jue lost his memory, now he still has the opportunity to visit Gu Jue. But after he regained his memory, with Gu Jue''s previous temperament, he would definitely ignore himself! He even felt that he was annoying and didn''t let himself appear in front of his eyes... So Li Xuan felt that before Gu Jue regained his memory, she had to try her best to impress Gu Jue in front of him. That way, when he recovers his memory later, he won''t dislike himself. So Li Xuan looked at Madam Wei, and nodded meekly following Madam Wei''s answer, "That''s good, I really hope that Gu Jue will recover quickly." "By the way, Mrs. Wei, is Gu Jue at home?" To come to see Gu Jue, this is Li Xuan''s purpose. Mrs. Wei naturally knew the intention of Li''s daughter''s visit. This girl has thoughts about her son¡ª And Wei Qiushuang instinctively didn''t like this girl very much, thinking that under her weak appearance, it was actually not that simple. But as an elder by myself, it is hard to say anything to say no. Plus, if Li Xuan hadn''t contacted her back then, her son wouldn''t be able to come back now. So Wei Qiushuang could only follow Li Xuan''s wishes and yelled upstairs, "Gu Jue, you have a friend to see you." How to deal with this relationship, Wei Qiushuang thinks, can only be handled by the son himself. The second floor of Gu''s house, in fact, when Xiaobai just heard someone knocking on the door of his house, he had already seen the people downstairs through the open window on the second floor. He would sit at the desk by the window and read for a while every morning, and today was no exception. After seeing that it was Li Xuan who had arrived, he had already put away the book. Not because someone is coming, he is going to meet someone. But when he saw that woman, he was so annoyed that he couldn''t read the book anymore! Xiao Bai really doesn''t like dealing with women. Especially Li Xuan, the kind of woman who looked at him with pitiful and affectionate eyes as soon as she saw him. Although Xiaobai has lost his memory, he is not stupid. The way Li Xuan looked at him made him feel uncomfortable! So when he heard his mother''s voice downstairs, Xiaobai didn''t intend to go downstairs. But thinking that if he doesn''t go down, his family members will be ''tortured'' for him to deal with Li Xuan¡ª Xiaobai thinks that he is too irresponsible! So Xiaobai went downstairs after thinking about it. Seeing Gu Jue coming down the stairs, Li Xuan was very happy. The kind of elation! Gu Jue is willing to come to see her. Does this mean that he already has some impressions of himself, and he doesn''t hate it when he comes to see him? Thinking, the smile on Li Xuan''s face became more than before¡ª "Gu Jue, how are you these days?" Li Xuan asked in a soft voice. Then, she got up from the sofa and even took a step forward, subconsciously wanting to get closer to Gu Jue. Beside the stairs, Xiao Bai didn''t seem to notice Li Xuan''s actions. He walked around the table in his living room and sat down at the farthest place from Li Xuan. "I''ve always been fine. If it''s because of my body, you won''t have to visit me in the future." He said in a slightly low voice. After that, he glanced at the bag of apples on the coffee table in front of him again. "I don''t like to eat apples, nor do I like to eat any fruit, so don''t bring them here next time." Saying that, Xiaobai raised his head and glanced at Wei Qiushuang, "Mom, if you''re tired, go and rest first, and I''ll take Miss Li out later." Hearing his son''s tone, Wei Qiushuang obviously wanted to send him away after he went upstairs. She originally thought that the daughter of the Li family was a guest after all, and she couldn''t be too rude, so she stayed and let this girl, who was thinking about her son, sit for a while longer. But in the next second, she saw a look on Li Xuan''s face expecting her to leave... Is this because he wants to have a chance to be alone with his son after he leaves? If this girl has this kind of plan, then she will be fulfilled. So Wei Qiushuang nodded and said to his son, "I''ll go up first to see if your dad has finished his work in the study." Saying that, Wei Qiushuang left the sofa and walked upstairs. (end of this chapter) Chapter 92: advertising Chapter 92 Advertising In the living room, only Li Xuan and Xiaobai were left. Five minutes later, Li Xuan, who was looking forward to spending alone time with Gu Jue, walked out of Gu''s house with a sad face... Xiaobai''s method of letting Li Xuan leave was very simple. He just said a word to the woman, "Miss Li, please go back." Chasing customers face to face with a cold face, in this situation, any girl would not have the cheek to continue to stay¡ª Walking out of Gu''s house, although Li Xuan was sad, she did not give up. No chance today, she still has tomorrow! Unfortunately, given how much Xiaobai dislikes her, she won''t have that chance tomorrow¡ª ¡­ Time is gradually entering the end of January, and the weather is already very cold. It has been snowing in Kyoto for a long time. Although the temperature in Qingyang County is slightly warmer than that in Kyoto, last night, snowflakes also started to float. Two days ago, an advertisement appeared in the newspapers of Linjiang City. The content of the advertisement is a full-body photo of a young girl wearing four different styles of clothes. The girl has a good figure and has long fluffy and soft hair. She is beautiful and has a temperament. She is wearing a dark winter wool dress and a light-color loose mid-length coat. Come- The second set of clothes is a light-colored long woolen skirt, a normal dark-colored woolen coat, and a wide belt in the middle of the coat to draw out the waistline. The long hair is curled and scattered on the shoulders, looking gentle and ladylike. The third set is a short wool padded jacket, paired with wide straight-leg trousers, and the hair is all tied behind the head, looking capable and aura! And the last set of clothes is a short thick wool coat, matched with a mid-length diamond wool skirt, wearing a beret hat of the same color as the skirt on the head, and holding a light-colored small bag the size of a palm, it looks like Exquisite and Western-style rich daughter! Lan Shu knows that when advertising, the most intuitive thing can be accepted more quickly. She bought a half-page advertisement in the newspaper. Instead of writing some details about the origin of the ''Yunshu'' clothing brand, promoting the quality of the clothes and how trendy the styles are, it is better to directly publish pictures so that people can see them. Pictures can be quickly received by people''s eyes and memory than words, so Lan Shu chose to highlight their brand''s clothes in the form of photos. Lan Shu chose four different styles of clothes, trying to reflect the diversity of their brand''s clothing styles. But after choosing the clothes at the beginning, when choosing the model, the problem came out¡ª¡ª The female sewing machine workers in the factory are mostly in their thirties. Thirty years old in this era, that is the real thirty years old with wrinkles on his face! Many women are ''tortured'' by life, put hard work and earning money first, and don''t care about their body shape at all. Although Secretary Tang and A Xing are younger, Secretary Tang is too thin, with narrow shoulders, and cannot support the clothes. A Xing is too short, only a little over 1.5 meters, so she is not able to wear clothes in style. When it was difficult to choose a model, Lan Shu finally had to do it herself! Lan Shu never thought that after she lost weight successfully, she would have a day to be a model... She took the clothes to the photo studio. After taking pictures, she selected a few photos that could reflect various clothing styles, and then used them for advertising. Linjiang city newspapers charge a lot for advertisements, 2,000 yuan for a page, and 1,000 yuan for a half page. If the money was exchanged for two months ago, it would be difficult for the garment factory to get it out easily. But now, although the price is not cheap, the garment factory already has the strength to advertise! Lan Shu bought four issues of this advertisement in a row, Linjiang city newspapers published twice a week, within half a month the promotion schedule was fixed by her teeth! 4,000 yuan of ''real gold and silver'', when the money was paid, Secretary Tang, who was the factory''s temporary treasurer, gasped reluctantly, but she couldn''t stop Director Lan''s determination¡ª Most of the half-page advertisements in the newspaper this time were reflected on the screen, leaving only a small space for writing a line of medium bold words. ¡ªYunshu Clothing, a branded wardrobe for women. and a few lines of small characters indicate that there are shops selling these clothes in Linjiang City and many surrounding counties. As soon as such an advertisement came out, in just three days, the ''Yunshu'' brand clothing has almost become a hot topic of discussion among women in Linjiang City and surrounding counties! Like what¡ª "I went to Yunshu Clothing''s agency to buy clothes today. The second one from the left in the newspaper looks really gentle and ladylike!" "I bought it too. It''s the third set. I didn''t expect that the pants can have such a smart effect!" "The first set is also very good-looking~! The feeling of wearing it on the body is inexplicably elegant." "My favorite is the last set. I also bought the hat and the same woolen cloth clutch bag! Although the bag is too small to hold anything, it looks good in the hand!" The wave of publicity of the ''Yunshu'' brand clothing years ago, within a few days, the agents in Linjiang City and the surrounding counties almost sold out their stocks! The clothing factory immediately rented a truck to replenish the goods in time, so as to avoid the situation that more than 30 agents are out of stock to sell. This is only the first issue of publicity, followed by three newspaper advertisements, which will definitely let more people know about the ''Yun Shu'' brand clothing¡ª In this advertisement, besides the famous clothing brand, Lan Shu is also famous! On the fourth day after the newspaper advertisement was published, just in time for the second issue of the advertisement, Lan Shu received a call from Zhang Yunjing, once the director of the Propaganda Department of the Women''s Federation of the county, and now the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Women''s Federation of Linjiang City. "Sister Lan Shu, you don''t know that the advertisement in your clothing factory made you famous!" "In the past few days, the women in our unit, besides everyone going to your factory''s agency to buy clothes, are also talking about how good-looking the models in the newspaper are every day! Black and white images can''t stop your temperament!" Lan Shu was originally only doing it herself in order to save money for the factory and not spend extra money to find models. Now hearing what Zhang Yunjing said, knowing that she was being talked about, and that so many people praised her, she felt a little embarrassed... "No way, the clothes in our factory look good." Lan Shu said modestly. Afterwards, she said seriously to Zhang Yunjing, "Sister Yunjing, thank you very much this time, when you come back, I will treat you to dinner!" The advertisement of the garment factory was able to appear in the newspaper of Linjiang City this time, thanks to Zhang Yunjing''s help. Otherwise, even if she is willing to spend money, she may not be able to buy half of the page. It''s only been four days, and Lan Shu saw the income of their clothing factory from the sales report. In addition to earning the 4,000 yuan spent on advertising, she also made a huge profit! The clothes sold in the past few days, after deducting the cost of fabrics, now have a gross profit of 60,000 to 70,000. There is still more than half a month before the Chinese New Year, and she can earn more! (end of this chapter) Chapter 93: take everything away? Chapter 93 Take everything away? "Why are you being polite to me? You are the biggest thank you to me for running the toilet paper factory well~!" When Zhang Yunjing mentioned this, she couldn''t help but feel better. "Don''t forget, I am a minority shareholder of the toilet paper factory! Based on the sales of our factory this year, I guess I can share a lot of money by the time of the Chinese New Year. Haha~ I am happy when I think of money." Zhang Yunjing spoke from her heart. She only invested 10,000 yuan in the factory, and now their factory has undergone several changes! Last month, the sales of sanitary napkins in their factory reached 350,000! Even after deducting the cost, labor and transportation, the income can be more than one hundred thousand yuan¡ª¡ª Including the sales profits in the previous few months, even if her shareholding ratio is small, she should be able to get a few thousand dollars in dividends at the end of the year. With a principal of 10,000 yuan, you can earn several thousand yuan in just over three months, which is more than ten times your annual salary! And next year''s income will double even more! Thinking of this, Zhang Yunjing is proud of her original foresight! Now she holds the shares of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. It is no exaggeration to say that she is definitely the richest person among the employees of the Women''s Federation in their city! So when Lan Shu said that she wanted to treat her to dinner, Zhang Yunjing had to reply, "I must come to treat you!" If it weren''t for Sister Lanshu, she wouldn''t have this chance to become a rich woman in the future¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, the Gu family. Xiaobai received a newspaper from Linjiang City today. There are two copies of the newspaper, and one is sent by Sister Lan from Linjiang City by Zhang Yunjing, a small shareholder in the factory. Another copy was brought from Linjiang City to Kyoto by Xiaobai Tuoren. Of the two newspapers, he held one in his hand and read it countless times. There was another copy, which was brand new, carefully folded in half by him, and placed in the bookcase in his room. Xiaobai saw Sister Lan wearing four sets of different styles of clothes in the newspaper, each style of Sister Lan was so good to see that it made his eyes shine! Sister Lan, who can change styles at will, stunned Xiaobai! Xiao Bai suddenly missed Sister Lan. It has been more than half a month since Sister Lan left Kyoto... But there are still two weeks before Sister Lan comes to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year! When he called Sister Lan a few days ago, he had already heard that Sister Lan was coming. Thinking of seeing Sister Lan soon, Xiao Bai couldn''t help but feel happy~ After looking at the advertising photos taken by Sister Lan in the newspaper for a few minutes, he put down the newspaper, picked up the book that Dr. Chen sent yesterday, and read it seriously. Dr. Chen said that these books are what medical students learn during their two years in school. But Xiaobai feels that before he goes to school next year, he should be able to learn everything in the book¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Lan Xinya was in a bad mood during this time. Although there are only ten days left until the day when she and Gu Cheng get engaged. She should be happy when a happy event comes, but these days she obviously feels that Gu Cheng is not as concerned about their engagement as before¡ª According to the original plan, Gu Cheng would send invitations widely, so that all the famous people in the business district of Kyoto would come to their engagement ceremony! But now, they are almost engaged, but Lan Xinya heard from Gu Cheng''s secretary that half of their invitations have not been sent out yet! Lan Xinya was suddenly a little uncertain, did Gu Cheng really want to get engaged to her? But when someone is getting engaged, they are not happy at all, and the number of times they ask her out is greatly reduced! ? Lan Xinya wants to find Gu Cheng, and have a good chat with Gu Cheng about their engagement arrangements. But when she went to Gu Cheng''s company, she was told by the company secretary that Mr. Gu left for Haicheng yesterday. It is said that the company has a plan to open a store in Haicheng, so Mr. Gu first went to Haicheng to see the situation. Is there anything they can''t do after they''re engaged? And the new year is coming soon, even if Gu Cheng wants to open a store in Haicheng, it must be too late before the year, so why not start to open the store after the year? Lan Xinya felt that Gu Cheng didn''t care about her at all! Gu Cheng¡¯s change seems to have started slowly after Lan Shu left the capital... Thinking of Lan Shu, Lan Xinya couldn''t help clenching her fists and clenching her teeth, feeling depressed! Since Lan Shu appeared, everything around me has changed! Lan Xinya even felt that after Lan Shu, the biological daughter of the Lan family, came back, she might take everything from her in the future¡ª From her parents, to the family property, and her man... ¡­ Linjiang City, Machinery Factory. Half a month ago, the technical department of the factory mobilized half of the employees of the department to research the winder requested by the customer, and finally got results! According to the design on the drawing, the machinery factory will soon manufacture the machine. After several tests, the machine has basically met the customer''s requirements. Next, more precise debugging is needed. The machine will be completely completed before the end of the year, and it will be shipped from the factory¡ª The technician who designed this reel machine is He Sunan, a college student newly recruited by the factory this year. He Sunan is 23 years old this year. Others graduated from university in two years, but he stayed in school for four full years! The four years were not because of his lack of study level, but because he felt that he could learn more from the teachers and professors in school! So, He Sunan, who could graduate early tomorrow, deliberately lowered his grades every time he took the final exam. In this way, after four years, if the school teachers and professors did not require him to graduate, he would probably stay in school for another year. At the commendation meeting of the technical department today, Xu Yunjie saw the great praise given to He Sunan by the head of their department. He was envious and jealous. The machine designed by He Sunan looked at it, and it was indeed perfect, with almost no mistakes. As for himself, when he was actually doing machine design, Xu Yunjie realized that his level was weak... During his two years in college, even though he had studied hard, what he could learn was still limited. Before he was in Qingyang County Machinery Factory, he didn''t have any opportunities to learn and be promoted. Now that he knows that his ability is insufficient, he only hates that he has no good opportunities to learn! Xu Yunjie originally thought that if he did what he did this time, he would be able to pay off his debts with a few hundred dollars in machine design fees! And you can also make your girlfriend look up to you! But now, he can''t seize such an opportunity at all¡ª During the meeting, Xu Yunjie was distracted when he suddenly heard the team leader say, "Now, our customers are welcome to come in person and present the design bonus to our Comrade He Sunan!" After the voice fell, Lan Shu walked into the meeting room from the door¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 94: envy jealous coma Chapter 94 Envy, jealousy, coma Yesterday, Lan Shu heard that the paper rolling machine she wanted to order had been completely completed, and it could be put into use after final adjustment. Lan Shu was really surprised that Linjiang Machinery Factory could give himself such a big surprise years ago! She came here today to see how the machine is being debugged. If there are no problems, she is going to settle the payment with the machinery factory. In addition, Lan Shu also wanted to meet the designer of the machine and get to know him. The other party was able to design this machine from scratch and only based on the concept provided by him, which is obviously capable! If she needs other machines in the future, it will be convenient to contact the other party. So when the machinery factory learns that the customer has come to the factory and wants to see the designer of the machine, after asking for the customer''s consent, the finance department will allocate funds to the designer''s bonus after the machine and the customer close the deal, and directly advance¡ª Lan Shu held a thick envelope in her hand, walked slowly in front of He Sunan, and smiled slightly at He Sunan. "Congratulations on your prize, and thank you for your design." After she finished speaking, on the opposite side, He Sunan had a blank expression, and he didn''t know what he was thinking. He didn''t even reach out to pick up the bonus from the client in the first place! On the side, the team leader of the technical department, who was wearing a dark gray overalls and had a red armband pinned to his arm, saw the picture of the staff in his team and saw the girl turn pale instantly, and couldn''t help but gently pushed He Sunan aside. arm. This made He Sunan react in time! "No, you''re welcome." He Sunan suddenly said nervously. After receiving the bonus, he didn''t even look at the money in the envelope in his hand, but became even more tense. "You, you are the star in the newspaper a few days ago! You look a hundred times better in person than in the newspaper!" This statement is definitely an exaggeration, but after listening to the other party, Lan Shu realized that he looked stupid because he mistakenly regarded himself as a star? Thinking that one day she would still be treated like this, Lan Shu couldn''t help but burst out laughing¡ª "I''m not a star, I just advertise for the factory." "You look better than a celebrity!" He Sunan said immediately. "I won''t charge you for the design of any machines you need in the future!" He was firm. Seeing the appearance of the machine designer in the machinery factory, Lan Shu seemed to see in a trance the feelings of future generations of fans who don''t ask for anything in return and give selflessly to their idols. She really didn''t expect that she would be able to make fans when she made publicity and commercials for her factory? But Lan Shu couldn''t agree to the fact that the other party didn''t want to design fees. It''s hard money, she can''t take advantage of it. But at this time, Lan Shu knew the excitement of the machine designer He Sunan in front of her, so she didn''t immediately ask whether or not to charge the design fee. Lan Shu smiled slightly, "Don''t worry, I think we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future~" Between two people talking, in the conference room. Xu Yunjie, who was sitting at the end of the long conference table, looked at the scene on the commendation platform in front of him in shock. The woman who handed out the bonus to Su Nan...is Lan Shu! If it wasn''t for the time he met Lan Shu at the Qingyang County toilet paper factory, maybe he still couldn''t put the slender woman in front of him together with the lazy and fat marriage partner he once disliked so much. But now, Xu Yunjie is absolutely sure that the woman in front of him who makes He Sunan dumbfounded at a glance is Lan Shu! Lan Shu, who is now completely thin, has beautiful features, a standard melon-shaped face, long hair half tied back, and is wearing a loose light brown woolen coat. The two-inch long belt smoothly tied a bow around her waist, making her look like she would not look bloated even in winter clothes, but instead had a slender waist and a perfect figure. When exactly did Lan Shu have such an earth-shaking change from before? Besides, what surprised Xu Yunjie was that Lan Shu came to the machinery factory this time as a customer! Even though Xu Yunjie had guessed at this time that the machines designed by his department during this period were needed by the toilet paper factory, Xu Yunjie didn''t think that Lan Shu could come to their factory as a representative of the toilet paper factory as a customer to give to his colleagues Awards! Isn''t she just an ordinary worker in a toilet paper factory? ! Thinking of this, Xu Yunjie went ''Crap! ¡ª¡¯ stood up from his seat. He can''t see how Lan Shu is now admired by He Sunan and noticed by colleagues around him! Seeing that Lan Shu is living so well now, he can hardly control his emotions! "What kind of customer is she! She''s just a worker in a factory who works for others!" "Employees who work for others?" On the awarding platform in the conference room, the head of the technical department of the machinery factory looked at Xu Yunjie in a daze when he heard Xu Yunjie''s words. The team leader didn''t even know what Xu Yunjie was going crazy at this time? "What kind of employee! Our client, Ms. Lan Shu, is the director of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory!" "Xu Yunjie, you come from Qingyang County Machinery Factory, don''t you know this? What nonsense are you talking about now?!" Being reprimanded face to face by the head of the department, Xu Yunjie froze in place! He couldn''t believe every word the team leader said. "She is the factory director...?" How could Lan Shu be the director of the toilet paper factory! ? The factory manager is obviously a man in his fifties with a fat figure. And the other party''s surname is Zhu, he has seen it with his own eyes! Over there, Lan Shu heard Xu Yunjie''s voice, and then looked towards him. Before she really didn''t notice that Xu Yunjie was also in this conference room. Since she entered the door, she has been focusing on the designer of the winding machine. She really doesn''t know when Xu Yunjie went to work in the machinery factory in Linjiang City from Qingyang County Machinery Factory. Hearing Xu Yunjie''s question at this time, Lan Shu smiled lightly and said loudly. "Yes, I am the director of the toilet paper factory. As for the former factory director Zhu, he is now the deputy director of our factory." Xu Yunjie: ...! ! The originally good factory director became the deputy factory director, but the woman he hated the most became the factory director who manages a factory with hundreds of people! If Xu Yunjie was envious and jealous of He Sunan before, then now he hates Lan Shu! Because the word ''jealousy'' is no longer enough to reflect Xu Yunjie''s strong negative emotions towards Lan Shu! He hates that woman! Why was this woman so unbearable before they divorced, but after the divorce, she became even better? ! Why does she still appear in front of me when she is excellent, so that I can clearly see the gap between me and her! This woman should continue to be the same as before, lazy, fat, and stupid! She shouldn''t have become what she is now, making him realize her own uselessness! "Xu Yunjie, sit down quickly! How can you talk to Director Lan like that?" "Xu Yunjie, hurry up and apologize to Director Lan!" "Xu Yunjie, you can do such a disrespectful thing, it''s because you are a college student?!" "Xu Yunjie..." Hearing his own name, Xu Yunjie''s mind was in a mess! Under the excessive emotional stimulation, he even became dizzy and sloppy on his feet. When he looked at Lan Shu, his vision became more and more blurred, and he was almost unable to see anyone. The next second, Xu Yunjie, who was deeply shocked, went dark and passed out¡ª On the first day of the explosive update, today''s 10,000-word update is complete! Thank you Shanfeng Wanwan~ for rewarding 100, 100, 90, three book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 95: Family for family Chapter 95 Family Love for Family Love In the evening, when Xu Yunjie woke up from the hospital, Lan Shu had already left Linjiang Machinery Factory and returned to Qingyang County. He was lying in the hospital by himself, with no one he knew around him, and was even told by the little nurse who made the rounds that he still owed the hospital fees! Originally, Xu Yunjie had no money at all because of debts. Now, a trip to the hospital has made his wallet even worse! But he owed the money to the hospital, and if he didn''t pay it back, he couldn''t leave. Xu Yunjie was in a mess, his head was a little dizzy, and he even had physical nausea. "This is caused by strong stimulation, pay more attention to bed rest recently." The nurse on the side said, and then helped him pull out the needle on the back of his hand: "Okay, go to the payment office on the first floor and pay." "How much?!" Xu Yunjie asked subconsciously. The little nurse took a look at him and saw that he was wearing the clothes of a machinery factory employee, so she could basically guess his financial situation. "Not much, it should be about seven or eight yuan." The little nurse replied. The wages of the machinery factory in the city are not low, so this little money is nothing to the workers of the machinery factory. But the little nurse didn''t know that before Xu Yunjie came to Linjiang City from the Qingyang County Machinery Factory, he basically paid off all the money on his body, leaving only ten yuan on his body to ensure that he would not go hungry for daily food and drink. During the time he was working at the Linjiang Machinery Factory, he almost ran out of money! Now he can¡¯t even get the seven or eight dollars¡ª A penny is hard for a hero, so Xu Yunjie gritted his teeth and made a decision as a last resort! "I want to find Dr. Lan Xiuming from your hospital!" The little nurse nodded immediately when she heard that this machinery factory employee, who fainted because of being too emotional, was sent this afternoon. She wanted to see Dr. Lan, who was recognized by their hospital as the most skilled and good-looking young doctor among young doctors. "Okay, I''ll notify you right away!" Saying that, she ran away quickly~ To be able to meet Dr. Lan while the patient is looking for him, any nurse in their hospital would be willing! It didn''t take long, when Xu Yunjie saw the little nurse coming back, there was no second brother Lanshu by his side. "Where''s Dr. Lan?" he asked. The little nurse looked slightly annoyed, "Xu Yunjie, right? Doctor Lan said that he doesn''t know you well!" Xu Yunjie: ¡­ In the end, Xu Yunjie called the factory, directly to the leader''s office, and explained the situation. He was finally able to leave the hospital after his colleagues in the factory sent money over. Before he returned to the machinery factory, news about Xu Yunjie had already spread in the factory. What- ¡®The factory that entered through the back door has no ability. '' ¡®Being rude to customers in the factory in public, I don¡¯t know if I will be fired. '' ¡®It is said that I have worked in the county machinery factory for more than a year, and I don¡¯t even have any money on me. Because of a few dollars, I was almost forcibly controlled in the hospital...¡¯ Xu Yunjie finally changed his environment and decided to start over, but he hadn''t been on the job for a month, and his reputation was once again completely ruined by the appearance of Lan Shu¡ª¡ª ¡­ Two days later, Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. The winding machine arrived at the factory, and the machine started running immediately¡ª Before the New Year, Lan Shu planned to produce a batch of roll paper first. When the time comes when she goes to Kyoto, she can bring some with her. Not only is it convenient for her own use, but she can also bring some to Xiaobai¡¯s home and her biological parents¡¯ home. Even if she can get it, Lan Shu is going to bring a roll of samples to each of the store owners in Kyoto who sell their ''Yunrou'' sanitary napkins. Let them experience the convenience and ease of roll paper first. After the new year, the roll paper can be sold directly at the cooperative store in Kyoto~! The old workers in the toilet paper production workshop of the factory have already made countless ratios of raw materials for the fineness of the roll paper required by Lan Shu. Now that the machine is back, within a few days, roll paper has been released! Lan Shu calculated the time, and there was still one week before the Chinese New Year. She had promised her biological parents to go to Kyoto during the Chinese New Year. If you don¡¯t go, it may be too late~ But before going to Kyoto, Lan Shu still has to go back to Tianshui Village to have a look. She is going to Kyoto for the New Year, and she will not be able to be with her adoptive parents at the end of this year, so no matter what, she must communicate with her adoptive parents in advance to say hello. But Lan Shu didn''t expect that before she had time to go back, her elder brother Lan Dazhuang drove the family tractor to the county seat in the afternoon. Along with Lan Dazhuang, there are also his adoptive parents, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang. As soon as the two came, they immediately stepped forward to ask Lan Shu after seeing Lan Shu. "Girl, it''s time for you to go to the capital, right? Xinya is also getting engaged in the next two days, so we won''t go this time. Please help us bring the money over there." What Chang Chunfang said when she was in Kyoto, if Lan Xinya gets married, the two of them are real parents, and they will give their own daughter 500 yuan as a dowry. From the point of view of the villagers, an engagement is a gift and a dowry, so they asked Lan Shu to bring the money. "Also, you put the three hundred yuan in your bag without saying a word last time and I brought it to Kyoto. You forgot to give it last time. We brought it this time. Girl, please keep the money and don''t mess around." take it out!" How could it be possible for Lan Shu to get back the money she gave? She immediately shook her head, looked at Chang Chunfang and said seriously, "Mom, you take the money first, and I have more." "How can I do that! It''s not easy for anyone to earn money, even if you are the factory manager, it''s hard-earned money!" Lan Shengli also immediately refused to accept money from his daughter. "Mom and Dad, no matter how hard it is to make money, as your child, I should give you some money to spend." Lan Shu was an orphan in the past. She grew up without any relatives to accompany her. After coming to this world, she had a family. Even if they are not related by blood, she will treat whoever treats her well. She is a person who repays kindness, and she believes that family affection can be exchanged for family affection. She has money, of course she will not be stingy with spending on her parents. "Mom and Dad, spend the money first, and tell me when it''s almost gone. As I said, whether you are my biological parents or not, I will take care of you." After saying these words, Lan Shu''s tone was serious and her eyes were sincere. Seeing that their daughter insisted on keeping the money, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were in mixed emotions and a little sad... At this moment, Chang Chunfang even had the feeling that even if she had the wrong child at the beginning, she would rather not know about it for the rest of her life! that would be nice? She only wants a daughter named Shushu¡ª As for their biological daughter, Chang Chunfang has given up hope that her daughter will really admit to them... Not only Chang Chunfang, Lan Shengli also had the same idea. He hopes that time can go back to the past, back to the time when they only had one daughter, Shushu... (end of this chapter) Chapter 96: worthy of relationship Chapter 96 Deserves Relationships The next day was the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month at the end of the year. At noon, Lan Shu came to Linjiang City Station and got on the train bound for Kyoto. In the car, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and there are not many people traveling far by car. Today''s era is not like later generations, there is a saying that the traffic flow peaks at the end of the year. Usually, there may be some people with good living conditions who go all the way to Kyoto to see the scenery and travel. But before the Chinese New Year, most people still won¡¯t run outside. Even if there is, it is from a big city to a small place. Most of the carriages that go from a small place to a big city like Lanshu are empty. The train arrives at the station from 2:00 pm to 6:10 am the next day. Before getting on the train, Lan Shu brought delicious food with her. Boiled eggs prepared by adoptive parents for going out, two packs of fruit and a bag of sugar bought by his brother at the county supply and marketing cooperative. Although Lan Shu is already nineteen years old this year and will turn twenty in June next year, in the eyes of her elder brother, she seems to have always been a child. Going out, even bought her candy¡ª Seeing this bag of candy, Lan Shu couldn''t help being a little amused. Thinking of how her eldest brother is now focused on developing the orchard and free-range chicken farm in the back mountain, and is indifferent to other things, Lan Shu will really worry about him a little. The man was a teenager until his death, and what he said seemed to be like her elder brother. Her elder brother is 26 years old this year, but he still doesn''t understand his feelings. My parents used to worry about my eldest brother''s marriage. But now, it''s numb. Actually, Lan Dazhuang is not bad looking, and he is tall and strong. Many girls in the village have been interested in him, but no one can be attracted by him. It''s not because Lan Dazhuang has high vision, but because he values ??emotion. When she was living at home, Lan Shu once asked her elder brother why he didn''t want to find a partner. The answer I got was simple. When he was a child, he was used to seeing his parents'' affectionate appearance, and he also wanted to find a big girl who was in love with him, and live his whole life in the future. In someone else''s house, it is impossible for him to drag him to this age! Fortunately, both parents are educated intellectuals, so they didn''t ask him to get married and have children as soon as possible. Lan Shu thought that one of the reasons for her trip to Kyoto this time was to help her parents bring the dowry money to Lan Xinya, so she sighed a little. Unexpectedly, all three of her older brothers are single, and among the four biological children of her parents, the youngest daughter is going to talk about marriage soon~! Thinking about it, unconsciously, time gradually passed. The sky outside the car window is already dark, this night has passed, and she will reach her destination early tomorrow morning¡ª ¡­ In the early morning, at six o''clock, the train gradually entered the station. This is Lan Shu''s second visit to Kyoto. At 6:10, get off at the station. On the platform, Lan Shu was carrying two big bags. From a distance, she saw Xiao Bai wearing a dark brown coat and black trousers, walking towards her with a straight figure. Before she saw Xiaobai, it seemed that Xiaobai saw her one step earlier. The two met, Xiaobai naturally took the **** cloth bag from Lanshu''s hand, and then the two walked towards the outside of the station together. The driver of the Wei family is already waiting there¡ª Xiao Bai originally wanted Sister Lan to go home with him, but Lan Shu flatly refused. "Let''s go to Lan''s house first, there are some things to deal with." She said. "Let''s have breakfast first." Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and said seriously. The look in the eyes and the tone of the voice sounded like they were discussing, but Lan Shu could feel Xiaobai''s firm attitude. "Okay, let''s eat first." She nodded. Next, the driver immediately took the two of them to a nearby breakfast shop to eat. Lan Shu ordered a meat bun and a bowl of millet porridge, and ate them slowly. Xiaobai ate more, three steamed buns, one bowl of soy milk, and he was only half full. At another table not far from the two of them, Driver Feng also followed suit. According to his own preferences, he had a good meal. After eating, the group of people returned to the car. Without Xiaobai''s instructions, the driver Feng in the front seat had already consciously changed the driving route and headed for the compound where Lan''s family was located. ¡­ At this moment in the Lan family, Lan Xinya hadn''t woken up yet. Lan Weicheng packed himself up and was about to go out to check around some of his counters in the mall. Xu Shan also got up, ready to go to work. Today is the last day of class in the unit, and tomorrow is officially a holiday! It¡¯s time to finally have a good rest~ And most importantly, her biological daughter will come to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year with them! Thinking of their family reunion during the Chinese New Year, Xu Shan couldn''t help but feel cheerful~ Here, not long after Lan Weicheng and his wife left the house, a black car drove into the compound where Lan''s family lived. In the compound, there are many trees on both sides of the four-meter-wide asphalt road. While the car was driving on the road, Lan Shu opened the car window a small crack, blowing a cool breeze to dilute the stuffy air in the car. Today''s cars are not as versatile as those of later generations. There is no ventilation system in the car, and the air conditioner in the car has not yet appeared. Open the windows for ventilation when it is hot, and close the windows tightly when it is cold, but if they are closed too tightly, it will be easy to suffocate and make the people in the car difficult to breathe. Fortunately, Xiaobai''s car is good, and there is no gasoline smell in it. In a near-miss car, the smell is unavoidable, and if you smell it too much, you may feel dizzy and nauseated. The car was not driving fast, and kept at about fifteen yards. There are rules in the compound, and the speed cannot be exceeded. In this compound, there are about fifty or sixty households, most of whom are family members of public officials in Kyoto. Although the rank is not that high, they are also people in the circle. At this time, a black and white car drove into the compound. In the early morning, many people who were rushing to work in the courtyard saw this car. Some people even recognized whose car it was based on the license plate number! "I don''t know who is sitting in the car? Can the Wei family contact anyone in our compound?" "It should be said that in our compound, which family can go to the Wei family?" "Yes, the Wei family is not ordinary..." "Isn''t the daughter of the Lan family in our big courtyard about to make an appointment with the eldest son of the Gu family? Although his eldest son is not the grandson of the Wei family, there is still such a relationship~" "So that car... is going to Lan''s house?" "Probably!" ¡­ Just like what some people in the courtyard guessed, the car soon stopped in front of the small double-storey courtyard of Lan''s house. It''s just that the person in the car is not the eldest son of the Gu family, but the youngest son of the Gu family, the grandson of the Wei family! Lan Shu sat in the car, looking up at the place where her biological parents lived. To have such a small two-story building in the compound is already amazing~! But this is mainly because the older generation of the Lan family has a lot of background. In fact, when Lan Weicheng was young, the Lan family could not keep up with the "stamina". In the past two years, Lan Weicheng made a fortune again by doing business. (end of this chapter) Chapter 97: Unconsciously seductive Chapter 97 Unconsciously seductive In the car, Xiaobai knew the exact address of Lan''s house because of Sister Lan''s relationship, and asked Driver Feng to record the route in advance. At this time they arrived, but they saw that the door of Lan''s house was closed. Xiaobai got out of the car and knocked on the door, but there was no movement, and it sounded like there was no sound in the room. Driver Feng raised his hand and glanced at the time on his wrist watch, "It''s already 7:30, and the Lan family should be going to work by now." After hearing what the driver said, Lan Shu remembered that both her biological parents were employed. Xu Shan is a public official. Even if Lan Weicheng switched to doing business two years ago, businessmen these days have to get up early. Especially near the end of the year, business will be much busier than usual. As for where Lan Xinya is, Lan Shu doesn''t care at all. "Let''s go, go back to my house first." Xiaobai opened the door, got in the car, and then talked to driver Feng. This time, Lan Shu did not refuse. Soon, the car started slowly again and left the compound... After they left, Lan Xinya slowly got up from the bed in the small building of the Lan family. She seemed to hear a knock on the door just now. But when she thought that Gu Cheng had gone to Haicheng and hadn''t come back yet, it wouldn''t be Gu Cheng who came looking for her, so she didn''t have any mood to deal with anyone. It''s fine if you don''t open the door, so you don''t bother yourself. Thinking of this, Lan Xinya sighed, ready to tidy herself up before going out. Regardless of whether Gu Cheng cares about him or not, they will get engaged tomorrow as scheduled. She must cheer up and put herself in the best state to welcome the coming of happiness! ¡­ nine in the morning. Lanshu and Xiaobai went back to Gu''s house together. Because it was approaching the Chinese New Year and visiting someone''s house, when Lan Shu was on the road, she didn''t forget to ask driver Feng to stop the car near the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some things as gifts. There are too few things that can be given as gifts these days, so Lan Shu buys as many gifts as possible, and only manages to buy some brown sugar, rock sugar, fruit and canned fruit. At this time, the canned fruits were very simple, most of them were orange-flavored, and occasionally pineapple-flavored cans were seen. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of things in the area of ??Kyoto, so Lan Shu can buy canned pineapples. Canned oranges cost 3.8 yuan, and canned pineapples cost 5 yuan. Lan Shu also bought a bottle. Fruits are not so expensive in season, but in winter, canned fruits are rare! Lan Shu spent less than 20 yuan to buy these things. It''s not that she is reluctant to buy things, but that there are too few types of gifts to give now, and she can''t spend it even if she has money. This gave Lan Shu even the idea that if she is not busy next year, she can consider opening another gift sales line. During the holidays, and those who entrust someone to do errands, it is indispensable to buy decent gifts. Bringing a gift to Gu''s family, Lan Shu just tried her best to be courteous. At home, neither Wei Qiushuang nor Gu Anguo was there. Before the holiday, they each have jobs. Lan Shu sat in the living room on the first floor of Gu''s house for a while, drank a couple of mouthfuls of water that Xiao Bai poured, and then heard Xiao Bai''s voice next to her¡ª "Sister Lan, do you want to go upstairs and have a look?" "Upstairs?" Lan Shu was startled. "That''s right~" Xiaobai nodded, and said as a matter of course, "You haven''t seen my room yet." Lan Shu: ¡­ A boy invites a girl to his room, fortunately she knows that Xiaobai is relatively innocent after amnesia, otherwise Lan Shu would not be able to help frowning if any man invited him to his room! "Then... let''s go and have a look." Speaking, Lan Shu put down the cup in her hand, got up and walked upstairs with Xiao Bai. ¡­ On the second floor, Xiaobai''s room is the outermost one near the courtyard. The room is not too small, about fifteen or sixteen square meters. In addition to a single bed, there is also a desk, bookcase, and a chair with a backrest. The room was very tidy, the only chair was pushed by Xiao Bai to Lan Shu''s side. And he himself was sitting by the bed, with a smile on his face, the corners of his mouth raised, watching Sister Lan silently. Lan Shu didn''t go to see Xiaobai, but noticed that there were many medical-related books on Xiaobai''s desk and bookcase. She casually picked up a book from the table and flipped through it, and found that there were still densely packed things in the book. "Can you understand these?" She asked subconsciously. Xiaobai nodded, "After I came back from Qingyang County, I was really bored, so I started reading not long after." "These I read recently were recommended by the doctor who checked me for amnesia. I''m going to medical school next year, so I''ll preview them in advance." Although Xiaobai is talking about previewing, it is not difficult for Lan Shu to see from the things written in the book that Xiaobai has actually learned during the previewing process. Lan Shu is clear about Xiaobai''s learning ability. She nodded, and didn''t ask this question any more. For a hard-working player like myself, it¡¯s better not to try to inquire about the knowledge level of a gifted learning god¡ª Putting down the book in her hand, Lan Shu was ready to go downstairs to drink tea, mainly because she didn''t sleep all night last night, she was sleepy and needed strong tea to refresh her mind. But before Lan Shu got up and went downstairs, she suddenly heard Xiao Bai say, "Sister Lan, why don''t you just sleep on my bed." Lan Shu:? Invite her into the room, invite her to bed, even if Lanshu knows that Xiaobai is simple-minded and has no other intentions, she should be careful about Xiaobai after all, after all, he is almost an adult, and she avoids suspicion if he or she can''t get along with each other. "No, I''m thirsty, I''m going downstairs to drink water." Lan Shu said, it was an excuse, but now she really felt a little thirsty. Seeing that Sister Lan has made up her mind, Xiaobai can''t force it, "That''s okay..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of someone knocking on the door downstairs! "Your parents are back?" Lan Shu got up and was about to go downstairs, but the next second, she was blocked by Xiao Bai who suddenly walked towards her¡ª Xiao Bai stood beside Lan Shu, stretched out his arms, pushed open the window in front of his desk, and then looked down. Because of the close distance, Lan Shu could still smell the faint cold fragrance on Xiao Bai''s body. That smell is not the smell of any soap or shampoo, but the faint body fragrance that permeates from Xiaobai''s body¡ª Lan Shu was startled, she hadn''t noticed the smell on Xiao Bai''s body before. Just when she was distracted, she suddenly heard Xiao Bai''s voice next to her ear, "It''s that Li Xuan." Because of the close distance, Lan Shu could even feel the warmth of Xiao Bai''s breath sweeping over her face. ''Boom! ¡ª'' Lan Shu''s cheeks suddenly became hot! She felt that she had to distance herself from Xiaobai in the future, there were some boundaries! Otherwise, Xiaobai is ignorant, and she can''t stand the other party''s unconscious teasing. Lan Shu moved to one side, avoiding Xiaobai''s side, and then thought about what Xiaobai had just said. "Li...Li Xuan?" Lan Shu felt a little familiar with this name. (end of this chapter) Chapter 98: not related! Chapter 98 has nothing to do with it! After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Li Xuan was the girl who met Xiaobai in Linjiang City and contacted Mrs. Wei to pick Xiaobai back. According to her tone of voice at the time, she should have known Xiaobai before she lost her memory, and had a good relationship, otherwise she wouldn''t know Xiaobai''s home phone number. But now hearing Xiaobai mentioning the name Li Xuan in his tone, it seems that he doesn''t want to see the other party~ "What''s going on?" She was puzzled and asked. "Since I came back, that woman will come to my house whenever she is on vacation." Xiao Bai said, frowning. Lan Shu could hear Xiao Bai''s boredom from his words! "You... don''t you know each other?" She was startled. After Xiaobai lost his memory, will his friends cut off relations? "I don''t know! I asked other people in this yard. The Li family and our Gu family had no communication before, and there was no contact between me and her!" Xiaobai was very sure of this answer! "So..." Lan Shu couldn''t help frowning. Li Xuan''s familiar tone back then, and the way she burst into tears after seeing Xiao Bai, were all unilateral on her part... "I didn''t expect that, you are quite popular with women." Lan Shu smiled softly, "Actually, you two are about the same age, if..." "No if!" Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai frowned deeply. He didn''t like Li Xuan''s rushing appearance, but now he heard what Sister Lan said, he instinctively interrupted Sister Lan immediately! But after he finished speaking, Xiao Bai suddenly realized that he was speaking to Lan Shu in a more serious tone. "I''m sorry, Sister Lan, I really hate her putting on a show in front of me. She clearly knows that I hate her pestering, but she still wants to come." Lan Shu did not expect that there would be such a girl who pursued Xiao Bai persistently and proactively. Although she didn''t like Li Xuan''s words back then, which hinted at her relationship with Xiaobai, it''s actually true that one person has a crush on another person and should be respected. It''s just that this kind of respect must be based on the premise of not disturbing the other party. Otherwise it is harassment! Listening to Xiaobai''s words, he already has the psychological discomfort of being harassed... Downstairs, outside the gate of the Gu family. "Gu Jue, are you home?" Li Xuan knocked on the door and shouted into the yard. Suddenly, when she raised her head, she happened to meet the sight of Lan Shu who was standing in front of the window on the second floor. The first time Li Xuan and Lan Shu looked at each other, they didn''t recognize Lan Shu''s identity. She just saw from a distance in Gu Jue''s room, a beautiful woman in a light brown coat with slightly curly long hair! Gu Jue actually let other women into his room? Who is that woman? ! At this moment, Li Xuan''s mind was in a mess¡ª She didn''t even know when Gu Jue got so close to what woman? This made Li Xuan want to see Gu Jue immediately, stand in front of Gu Jue, and understand the current situation! Originally, Xiaobai didn''t intend to pay attention to Li Xuan who came to the door many times, but now that the other party saw someone in his home, if he didn''t open the door, but drove them away, would Lanshu think she was rude? Xiaobai clearly remembers that when she was in Tianshui Village and Qingyang County, Lan Shu said that politeness is a matter of a person''s self-cultivation, which reflects whether a person is well-educated... So even though he didn''t want to, Xiaobai still took a deep breath to suppress his inner displeasure, and then walked downstairs with depression in his eyes! Half a minute later, Xiaobai stood at the gate and opened it. Li Xuan walked in immediately¡ª "Gu Jue, is there any visitor at your house?" The first time she stepped into Gu''s courtyard, she wanted to know who the woman who could enter Gu Jue''s room was! ? Immediately afterwards, Li Xuan heard a woman''s voice behind Gu Jue¡ª "Miss Li, we meet again." Lan Shu said. Li Xuan:? ¡­ It took a full minute for Li Xuan to barely recognize who she was from the face of this beautiful and temperamental woman in front of her! "Lan, Miss Lan?" Li Xuan still remembers how ordinary she was when she met Lan Shu in Linjiang City. Actually, it''s not that the other party is really ordinary, at least a slightly fat woman, no matter how good-looking her facial features are, she won''t be noticed by Li Xuan. She thinks that a woman should have a perfect appearance and figure, so that she is qualified to stand beside Gu Jue! Back then Lan Shu was unworthy, but now... Seeing Lan Shu''s appearance and figure, Li Xuan couldn''t help but take a breath¡ª She felt that the opponent in front of her was too scary! How long has it been? The other party cleaned herself up so delicately! Compared to the red sweater, beige coat, and black leather boots I wore today, between myself and Lan Shu, the contrast between ordinary and foreign style is too obvious! "I, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I''m going home first." Li Xuan couldn''t bear to be compared, so she had to go back and dress up, and do it again next time! Anyway, the Chinese New Year holiday is still long, knowing that Lan Shu is at Gu''s house, next time she comes again, she must dress herself up to a perfect state, so as not to ''underestimate the enemy''! Seeing Li Xuan leaving in a hurry as soon as she entered Gu''s house, Xiao Bai was really surprised. noob:? Is that woman not going to be annoying today? Although he couldn''t figure out the reason, no matter what it was for, it didn''t matter to Xiaobai. Lan Shu also watched Li Xuan leave in a hurry. Lan Shu:? Li Xuan doesn''t seem to be as annoying as Xiaobai said, right? ¡­ At noon, Wei Qiushuang came back from get off work and met Lan Shu at her home. Before Wei Qiushuang already knew that Lan Shu would be in Kyoto during the Chinese New Year this year, so she was just a little surprised that the little girl Lan Shu came quite early. However, thinking that tomorrow is the day when Gu Cheng and another daughter of the Lan family get engaged, Wei Qiushuang immediately understood the reason why the little girl Lan Shu came early. Seeing Mrs. Wei, Lan Shu immediately stood up and greeted politely. Besides, Xiaobai didn¡¯t forget to help Sister Lan perform in front of her family¡ª "Mom, Sister Lan is here and brought you and Dad a lot of presents." Hearing Xiaobai''s words, Lan Shu was actually a little embarrassed, because the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative were not many. Fortunately, she came to Kyoto and Gu''s family this time, and she brought some other things with her. Lan Shu immediately came to the side of the sofa, where she placed two large bags, and took out two bags of packed toilet rolls from one of the bags. Each pack of these rolls is six rolls, wrapped in plastic film, and a label of the factory''s ''Yunrou'' brand is pasted on it. Roll toilet paper is different from sanitary napkins, and requires a little effort in packaging. In order to make the price of roll paper more affordable, of course it is to save costs, the simpler the better. Moreover, the simple packaging allows consumers to look at it, and they won¡¯t feel that ¡°things look expensive¡± in their hearts, so that they don¡¯t even ask the price. Lan Shu made a positioning of the toilet paper in their factory early in the morning. Roll paper sales volume. For the ones that really make money, she set her sights on the pocket paper that will be launched in the factory next. (end of this chapter) Chapter 99: Mature women like... Chapter 99 Mature women like... Seeing the new gadget brought by the little girl Lan Shu, Wei Qiushuang was really curious about this kind of toilet paper. She was holding a piece of delicate, snow-white toilet paper torn from the paper roll in her hand. Compared with the ordinary rough toilet paper she used at home before, this toilet paper was obviously much more advanced! In the past, toilet paper could only be placed in toilets and bedrooms for private use. But now this roll toilet paper, according to little girl Lan Shu, can be placed directly in the living room, dining room and other places to wipe hands and mouth. In the machine design ideas provided by Linjiang Machinery Factory, Lan Shu even mentioned the breaking point of toilet paper. So this kind of roll toilet paper that breaks when you pull it, can be used on the dining table before the toilet paper comes out. Compared with other gifts, Wei Qiushuang likes the scroll paper brought by Lan Shu the most. It¡¯s just around the Chinese New Year, and when the time comes, relatives will come to the house, so it will definitely be used for dinner! Besides, Wei Qiushuang planned to go back to her natal home a few years ago, and bring back the six unopened volumes for her parents to use. Especially when the old man in the family is getting older, sometimes his mentality becomes more and more naive. When the old comrades go to him to pay New Year''s greetings during the Chinese New Year, no one else has it. Only he has new gadgets, which will definitely make the old man very proud. During lunch, Lan Shu stayed at Gu''s house to eat. Gu Anguo was busy at work, so he called back and said that he would not be home for lunch, so Wei Qiushuang was going to the kitchen. Xiao Bai knows that his mother''s cooking skills are really not good, so in order to let Sister Lan eat well, he can only cook by himself. Originally, in Lan Shu''s view, this was a very common thing. But in Wei Qiushuang''s eyes, she was shocked to see her son walk into the kitchen with a calm face, washing and cutting vegetables with swift hands. Even when cooking, you can casually shake the pot and perform a flip of the spoon, which is easy to do! Wei Qiushuang: ¡­ Although she knew that her son had learned to cook when he was in the army, her own mother had never eaten anything made by her son. Her son was so kind to little girl Lanshu~! Before changing, Wei Qiushuang might still wonder if his son likes this little girl? But since the last meal, I learned that Lan Shu had already been married, which made Wei Qiushuang feel that Lan Shu should not easily fall in love again. She is a woman, and she understands that once a woman has been hurt, she will not get involved easily. Even though Lan Shu said it was easy at the time, the reality is definitely not easy to face. Thinking of this, Wei Qiushuang even sympathized with and worried about her son. If her son really likes Lan Shu, it will probably be fruitless. For a woman like Lan Shu who is very ambitious at a young age, even if she is looking for a partner, she will find a man who is evenly matched in her career and mature in thought. That kind of person will make a woman with a strong personality docile, and will be her reliance. Obviously, if my son devotes himself to going to school and being a nerd, there is no way he can match up with Lan Shu. In addition, Gu Jue is indeed a few years younger. Wei Qiushuang felt that what Lan Shu needed was an older man who could take care of her in many ways. It¡¯s not surprising that Wei Qiushuang thinks so, after all, the thinking of all women in this era will instinctively follow the idea that women are weak and men are strong. Even though the Women''s Federation chanted the slogan of equality between men and women every day, the idea of ??true equality has not yet penetrated into the hearts of the people. So Wei Qiushuang didn''t know that decades later, women had already changed their minds about choosing a spouse. Mature men are still popular, but mature women also like ''Little Milk Dog'' and ''Little Wolf Dog''... ¡­ Gu Family, the restaurant on the first floor. Xiaobai''s culinary skills have been practiced since he was in Tianshui Village. Now that his family is a cadre family, it is equipped with a gas stove, so cooking is more convenient. The three of them ate at noon, and Xiaobai didn''t cook too much. There were four dishes, three meat and one vegetarian, and there was a soup at the end. Because it is winter, there are really not many fresh vegetables. Even if the Gu family has the conditions, they only store some radishes and Chinese cabbage that are durable. So the four dishes for lunch today are radish stew, vinegared cabbage, twice-cooked pork, and braised chicken. One soup is rice wine egg drop soup. Although Xiaobai learned to cook in the army before, what he learned was big pot rice, and it is enough if he can cook raw food into mature food. What really improved his cooking skills was the one-month life in Tianshui Village. Xiaobai knows that Sister Lan likes to eat delicious food, but because she loses weight, she dares not eat more, so she sometimes cooks some delicious food in different ways to satisfy her appetite. After the appearance of these delicious and delicious meals, they fed a whole family without knowing it. When everyone wants to eat again, of course they can''t ask their daughters to do it. They are afraid that the "children" will be tired, so they can only rely on Xiaobai, the only idler in the family, to learn how to cook. This meal, Lan Shu nodded in satisfaction, Wei Qiushuang was surprised again and again! Xiaobai still looks calm, even thinking about what to cook for Sister Lan next time~ ¡­ In the afternoon, Wei Qiushuang had to go to work, and left in a hurry after eating. Lan Shu was terribly sleepy because she didn''t sleep all night, but now that she''s getting over the sleepiness, she suddenly feels refreshed! So she had nothing to do, she planned to go out for a walk. "Speaking of which, I haven''t been to a shopping mall in Kyoto yet. It''s almost Chinese New Year. Let''s go for a walk and buy two suitable clothes for you~" Lan Shu said casually, and after she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that the current Xiao Bai is no longer the boy who was raised by her back then... Xiaobai found his family and became rich after returning home. Combining Xiaobai''s investment in the toilet paper factory, he is even richer than himself now! No need to buy him clothes yourself¡ª While Xiao Bai at the side heard Sister Lan''s familiar tone, he didn''t seem to see the change in Lan Shu''s expression later. Xiao Bai followed Lan Shu''s words and returned, "Okay~ It just so happens that I haven''t bought any clothes for the New Year yet." He likes the process of Sister Lan choosing and buying clothes for him. Because at that time, Sister Lan''s eyes would always be on him, unable to see anything else around him. He wanted to be paid attention to by Lan Shu, and wanted the brief moment when she only had him in her eyes. Thinking of this, Xiaobai smiled happily, with the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a row of white teeth. At this moment, it seemed that all the sunlight around him was shrouded in him¡ª Lan Shu stared blankly at Xiaobai''s black eyes that seemed to be shining, and his smile was sweet, and in her eyes there was only good-looking that could be described. She couldn''t help but sigh in her heart. This is a boy, young, pure, brilliant~! Although she is not very old, she has grown up through loneliness and lived a second life. She already has an overly mature heart... Today''s 10,000-character explosion is over~! I wish you a happy reading~(#^.^#) (end of this chapter) Chapter 100: be take care of? Chapter 100 being taken care of? In the largest shopping mall in Kyoto. Lan Xinya shopped all morning, but she couldn''t find the clothes she wanted. Because tomorrow is her engagement day, clothes must be bought today! In order to buy the most perfect clothes in her mind, Lan Xinya was not even in the mood to eat lunch, and walked around the shopping mall alone on an empty stomach. The large shopping malls in Kyoto are different from those in the counties and cities. They are at most the size of a three or four-story building. There is a large area here, and several multi-storey small buildings are connected together to form a huge super shopping mall. Because the mall is too big, if you visit all of them, it may take a whole day, and you may not be able to finish shopping! So even if Lan Xinya walked for a whole morning, she was still far from visiting the entire shopping mall. At the same time, Lan Shu also brought Xiao Bai to the mall. She knows this place, decades later, the scale of this shopping mall will grow even wider! Become a nationally famous clothing purchase base! In addition to buying clothes today, Lan Shu also wants to try to see if they can develop their ''Yunshu'' brand clothing in the mall. But before that, it is more important to buy clothes for Xiaobai first. The two asked the people nearby for directions and found the men''s clothing area. After picking and choosing, Lan Shu chose a dark gray cardigan sweater and a black cotton jacket for Xiao Bai. When she was in Linjiang City before, she had already bought a pullover sweater for Xiaobai, and the cardigan sweater she bought now can be worn when the weather is not too cold. As for the cotton clothes, Lan Shu actually wants to buy down jackets for Xiaobai, but now there are no down jackets at all! Even if there is, down jackets are really warm in the early stage of development, but they are also famous for their strong smell, so they can¡¯t be worn out at all~! Thinking of Xiaobai going shopping smelling like chicken feces and duck feces, Lan Shu couldn''t stand it! It has a light and cool fragrance, which is suitable for Xiaobai. Clothes are finished, and there are pants. In this day and age, winter is basically dependent on cotton trousers. Although Xiaobai has long legs, but the bloated cotton trousers on him will definitely not match his whole body. So instead of buying cotton trousers for him, Lan Shu bought woolen trousers and a pair of long trousers. Matched like this, it looks better than cotton trousers. When she walked out of the building selling men''s clothing, Lan Shu still didn''t forget to buy a pair of gloves and a hat for Xiao Bai. It was cold. Although she had been shopping and kept moving her body, her hands were not warm at all. Thinking about it, Xiaobai will also feel cold, right? But what Lan Shu didn''t expect was that the gloves and hat she bought for Xiao Bai were put on her hands and head by Xiao Bai. "Although the style doesn''t suit you, the warmth retention is good." Xiaobai said, and helped Lan Shu press the hat on top of her head again. Lanshu wearing a big hat and loose gloves: ¡­ What¡¯s with this d¨¦j¨¤ vu feeling of being taken care of like a child? ¡­ After buying clothes for Xiaobai, the two soon arrived at the women''s clothing section. Lan Shu didn''t rush to promote their clothing factory, but picked clothes for herself first. There are more styles of clothes in Kyoto than in counties and cities. Nowadays, the domestic clothing market has always maintained an invisible ''ladder-type'' clothing sales model. That is to say, the leftover clothes sold in big cities are usually purchased by shopping malls and clothing stores in county towns and then sold. Speaking of which, this is a style sold in big cities, and the goods brought from big cities, but in fact it has long been out of fashion. It is also for this reason that the clothes made in her clothing factory are best-selling in the county and city! But if you put those styles of clothes in shopping malls in Kyoto, it may not be a hit. If she wants to sell the clothes in the factory well in Kyoto, Lan Shu must first understand the basic styles of clothes in the shopping mall here, so as to avoid these popular styles and design more colorful clothes. Lanshu and Xiaobai walked around the clothing building in the women''s clothing area. They didn''t find any suitable clothes, but they bought two pairs of shoes and a leather bag. Usually, most of the bags that Lan Shu sees in the county and shopping malls in the city are black, occasionally there are red and green bags, and there are absolutely no other colors. But in Kyoto, there are bags sold in shopping malls, and there are even yellow and blue leather bags. Lan Shu didn''t buy that bright color, but took a fancy to a small white bag with diamond pattern. Although the bag is only about the size of two palms and cannot hold many things, such a small leather bag looks great with clothes~! Lan Shu liked it immediately, and was ready to pay for it without hesitation! But just as she was about to pay the bill, Xiao Bai took out the money from her pocket first, and bought the bag for Lan Shu. "Sister Lan, take this as my New Year''s gift to you." Lan Shu didn''t refuse. The relationship between her and Xiao Bai is just buying something from each other, so there is no need to make a clear distinction. Today''s Lan Shu is wearing clothes from their ''Yun Shu'' clothing factory. A light brown wide woolen coat with a quilted inner layer, black skinny jeans, a pair of black leather Martin boots with mid-waist straps on her feet, and a small white bag slung across her body, making her look The clothes are fashionable and the bags are eye-catching! The store where Lan Shu buys bags doesn''t just sell bags. It mainly sells clothes, as well as belts and purses. For a long time, the leather bags in this store have not been selling very well, especially this white bag, which has been on display for more than a month, and no one cares about it at all! Because of the concept of the old society, I think white is unlucky, but now, a girl who bought the white bag in their store can recite the effect of this bag, so that the shop owner can confirm at a glance that their bag will definitely become a hot topic in the future. Sales! But the premise is to match the outfit on the girl. The clothes on the girl, in addition to matching this white bag, other bags should also be very suitable. So the store owner couldn''t help but ask, "Little girl, where did you buy the clothes on your body?" The store owner wants to find a channel to get the clothes according to the place where the clothes are bought, so that when the clothes are sold in their store, the bags will also sell well~! Lan Shu originally only bought bags, and didn''t plan to promote the clothes in her factory, but now someone asked, she would definitely not miss such an opportunity. "The suit I''m wearing is called ''Yunshu'' brand clothing, and it''s one of the best-selling styles in Linjiang City and surrounding counties. If you want it, you can go to any agency store of the ''Yunshu'' brand in Linjiang City After picking the style and choosing the style, the garment factory will deliver it to your door." "Agent store? Home delivery?" These words made the store owner a little stunned. He didn''t even understand it very well. "The agency store is a store that sells this clothing brand. Of course, it can also sell other brands of clothing. This is arranged by the store itself." ¡°The advantage of being an agency store is that you don¡¯t need to pay for the goods you sell. You can put the clothes in the store, when to sell them, and when to check out. Unsold goods can be returned to the factory at any time.¡± (end of this chapter) Chapter 101: Zhuangshan Chapter 101 Zhuangshan Lan Shu said, looking at this store that sells a wide variety of goods. This store is not small because it takes care of leather bags, belts, and clothing. Several Datong rooms add up to about 150 square meters at least. It would be good if it can develop into an agency. And the store owner heard Lan Shu''s words and learned that the purchase does not cost money, so he was moved on the spot! "Little girl, thank you, your news is very useful to me, I will give you a belt~" In the end, Lan Shu didn''t ask for other people''s belts for nothing. She said to the shop owner, "You''re welcome." Then I went to other shops that I didn¡¯t visit with Xiaobai, and continued shopping¡ª ¡­ In the shopping mall, in a clothing store not far from Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, Lan Xinya finally set her sights on a light brown wide coat. This coat doesn''t seem to have anything special in general, but Lan Xinya noticed that the pocket of the coat is not an obvious big pocket like other styles, but a hidden pocket on the side. In this way, the smoothness of the clothes lines can be well guaranteed. In addition to the pockets, the details on the belt are also perfect. A wide belt about 1.5 inches, the belt is very long, whether it is tied around the waist or tied with a bow on the back, it will look good! Moreover, the buttons on the coat are still made of that bright material, which has the effect of ''finishing the finishing touch''! Lan Xinya has always been in front of Gu Cheng, with a gentle appearance at first glance, but a playful temperament in reality. She felt that when getting engaged, Gu Cheng should also be able to see her trendy and fashionable side. So Lan Xinya bought this dress without hesitation! After buying the clothes she was satisfied with, Lan Xinya was in a good mood. She was about to go shopping again, and when she was buying a scarf to match her clothes, she met Lan Shu in the mall who was shopping with the young master of the Gu family! At the same time, Lan Xinya also saw the light brown dress on Lan Shu''s body, which was exactly the same as the coat she just bought! When she found out that her ''favorite'' style was already worn by someone else, and the other person was the person she least wanted to see, Lan Xinya immediately became annoyed! Why would Lan Shu wear the same clothes as the ones she bought? ! Even if she knew it was a coincidence, the appearance of Lan Shu and the dress on her body at this moment made Lan Xinya''s joyful mood of buying the right clothes instantly smashed like a glass bottle thrown on the roadside. broken! ¡ª The clothes that she liked at first are now in her hands, so hot that she wants to throw them away! At this moment, even Lan Shu didn''t know that the clothes in her factory were sold so well and famously in Linjiang City. The owner of a clothing store in Kyoto happened to have been to Linjiang City not long ago, so he bought them from the shop. A few pieces are thinking about coming back and selling them for a try. It turned out that the clothes really sold well, and there was only the last one left, which was bought by Lan Xinya¡ª¡ª Lan Xinya saw Lan Shu, but Lan Shu, who was busy shopping, didn''t notice that Lan Xinya was nearby. Shopping with Xiaobai, she was busy carrying things, which made Lanshu see some beautiful scarves, gloves, and hats, and couldn''t help but buy several of them. For others, these things are used to keep warm, but for Lan Shu, they can be used as matching accessories to add highlights to clothing. So after shopping this day, Lan Shu didn''t buy a single piece of clothing, but bought a lot of other things. It wasn''t until evening, when the sky was getting dark, that she and Xiao Bai came out of the mall. It was almost time to get off work, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai said, after meeting with driver Feng, the car drove towards the direction of Lan''s house¡ª ¡­ Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, the last day of work before the year. After getting off work in the evening, Xu Shan returned home with a pot of oil and a bag of rice distributed by her unit. After washing her hands, she went straight into the kitchen and started making dinner. Not long after, Lan Weicheng also came back. Today, the sales at his several counters are good. Eleven watches were sold at the watch counter, and both large and small tape recorders were also sold at the tape recorder counter. Tapes sell the most! Not long ago, he bought a batch of new products, and today they are almost sold out. Lan Weicheng did the math, in just one day, the sales on his few counters, after deducting the cost, can earn more than 300 yuan! Although the business at the counter in the shopping mall is not so good every day, on average, after deducting the purchase price, counter rent and labor, his family can earn at least three or four thousand dollars a month. So compared to a public job with only a few tens of dollars a month, Lan Weicheng resigned without hesitation and came out to do business. After Lan Weicheng got home, he first sorted out the money collected today, and after taking out the cost, he happily counted the remaining money twice before putting it away. Lan Weicheng has already made up his mind. When Shushu arrives this year, he must give Shushu a big red envelope! Make up all the lucky money that I haven''t given to my biological daughter for so many years! Thinking of leaving the money in his hand to his daughter to spend in the future, Lan Weicheng has more motivation to make money in his heart! He hasn¡¯t spent money on his own daughter yet~ Now is finally about to have a chance! Just as she was thinking, Lan Xinya walked in listlessly outside the gate. There are people at home, so the yard door is unlocked, and the door to the house on the first floor is also open. Lan Weicheng could tell at a glance that his daughter seemed to be in a bad mood. "What''s wrong Xinya?" Although Xinya is not his biological daughter, Xinya is the child raised by their husband and wife for nineteen years, and she has long been treated as his own child. Now that he is not happy to see his daughter, as a father, of course he will be concerned, even worried¡ª When asked by her father, Lan Xinya subconsciously frowned. What made her unhappy was that the clothes she chose today were the same as what Lan Shu was wearing! As a result, she was no longer in the mood to go shopping, and took the bus back home with her clothes bag in hand. This dress was bought with money. Although she hates it very much now, it can''t be thrown away casually. Lan Xinya brought it back and prepared to give it away later. Anyway, she won''t wear it anymore! Just thinking about it, Lan Weicheng suddenly asked, "Are you worried about the engagement tomorrow?" Lan Weicheng thought that her daughter was in a bad mood because she was too nervous because she was about to get engaged. After hearing her father''s words, Lan Xinya suddenly remembered that tomorrow is her engagement day! She originally planned to buy new clothes today for the engagement banquet tomorrow. But now, at the engagement banquet tomorrow, she can only wear her old clothes... Besides, she will get engaged tomorrow, but up to now, there is no news about her boyfriend Gu Cheng. Although the secretary of Gu Cheng¡¯s company has repeatedly confirmed that Mr. Gu will definitely come back from Haicheng today, but it¡¯s about this time... Lan Xinya always felt a little uneasy. There shouldn''t be any problems with tomorrow''s engagement, right? She was really disrupted by Lan Shu''s sudden appearance in the afternoon, disturbed her mood, and forgot to inquire about Gu Cheng''s news. Thinking of this, Lan Xinya immediately walked quickly through the living room, throwing the clothes in her hands on the sofa. Then picked up the phone on the small table beside the sofa, dialed the number of Gu Cheng''s ''big brother''¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 102: cancel engagement Chapter 102 Cancel the Engagement At this time, it was in Gu Cheng''s office on the second floor of Gu''s Electric Company. Gu Cheng has returned to Kyoto from Haicheng this morning. Regarding the engagement between him and Lan Xinya tomorrow, until now, he is still hesitating. In the past two years, he had no shortage of women around him, but there was only Lan Xinya who really made him want to marry. A month ago, Lan Xinya was the woman he wanted to stay by his side and spend his whole life with. But now, Gu Cheng is no longer sure whether he can go to the end with Lan Xinya. Lan Xinya is very good, simple and kind, and occasionally playful, which can add spice to his life. But when he met another daughter of the Lan family, he suddenly felt that these qualities in Lan Xinya became boring¡ª¡ª He still remembers Lan Shu''s attitude towards him, indifference and alienation, refusing to give half a look to him! If it were someone else, Gu Cheng would only feel that the other party didn''t know what was good and what was wrong. But as Lan Shu, he has a strong desire in his heart to want Lan Shu to pay attention to him and agree with him! He even found that during this time, the shadow of Lan Shu always appeared in his mind. Especially near the end of the year and the day when he and Lan Xinya got engaged, this idea became stronger and stronger! It was so strong that he didn''t even want to see Lan Xinya... That''s why he left the capital with an excuse and went to Haicheng to hide for a few days. But he was able to hide for a while, but he couldn''t keep hiding. The engagement was approaching, and he had to come back. After Gu Cheng came back, he didn''t contact Lan Xinya immediately to tell her the news of his return. Gu Cheng, who was in a tangled and contradictory mood, wanted to see how much his girlfriend cared about him. Tomorrow is their engagement day, will Xinya come to her to discuss engagement matters with herself? But what Gu Cheng didn''t expect was that he didn''t get any news about his girlfriend for a whole day. This disappointed Gu Cheng! He even had a feeling that Xinya wanted to be engaged to himself, but only wanted to be engaged to himself with his current status. All she cares about is the day of her engagement tomorrow, not herself, the betrothed... ''Hoo~'' Gu Cheng took a deep breath. "Tomorrow''s engagement is over..." He hadn¡¯t finished the sentence he said to himself, when the big brother hurriedly said ¡°Dididi¡ª¡± on the desk, the bell rang suddenly! Gu Cheng picked up the phone and heard Lan Xinya''s voice from inside. "Hello? Gu Cheng, have you come back from Haicheng yet? We are getting engaged tomorrow!" Saying this sentence, Lan Xinya was very angry. Because Gu Cheng ran to Haicheng for so many days without saying a word, leaving himself alone. During this period, Lan Xinya called Gu Cheng several times, but the line was usually busy or no one answered. So she could only go to the electrical company to inquire about Gu Cheng. But after a few visits, Lan Xinya found that it was useless to find an electrical company! Unable to contact Gu Cheng, she could only bear with her growing impatience and wait patiently. Now she finally got through the phone, and at this time, the complaints she had filled for so many days were unconsciously brought out by her¡ª Here, Gu Cheng was already hesitant to get engaged to Lan Xinya, and whether he could go to the end with Lan Xinya. But now, Lan Xinya''s tone on the phone instantly made him frown, and he felt like he didn''t want to continue¡ª "Xinya, our engagement...let''s call it off." Gu Cheng sighed softly, and spoke casually. The other side of the phone suddenly fell silent because of his words! After being quiet for more than ten seconds, Gu Cheng heard Lan Xinya''s inconceivable voice in surprise¡ª¡ª "What did you say?" Lan Xinya was not the only one who found this sentence inconceivable. If it was placed a month ago, Gu Cheng would never believe that he would say such a thing. But now, the upcoming engagement is no longer something he can face happily. On the contrary, it is a burden that is equivalent to torture for him! Thinking that after he got engaged, he would always bear such a burden, Gu Cheng couldn''t tolerate this going on¡ª While on the phone, Lan Xinya finally realized what Gu Cheng meant! At this moment, her emotions instantly collapsed¡ª "Gu Cheng! What do you mean? Now everyone knows that we are getting engaged, but you tell me that the engagement is cancelled?! Have you forgotten how you told me?!" When Lan Xinya was gentle and lovely, she was really gentle, but now, she and Gu Cheng know her, they are totally different! Gu Cheng still remembers that when he pursued Lan Xinya, he said he liked her, even loved her. I like her uniqueness and her kindness. But now, the word ''unique'' is no longer exclusive to Lan Xinya. The only remaining ''kindness'' disappeared in an instant when Lan Xinya asked him in an aggressive tone on the phone¡ª "Sorry, I have already decided to cancel the engagement, and I will not change my mind." Gu Cheng was firm. "I know that I did something wrong, so if you need any compensation, just ask for it." He looked at Lan Xinya and said. What Lan Xinya wants is not compensation, but her being with Gu Cheng! She likes Gu Cheng. Of course, her liking doesn''t just include Gu Cheng, but also Gu Cheng''s ability and wealth. Lan Xinya believes that these external things are all blessings to a man''s charm! Gu Cheng can be said to be the perfect mate selection standard in Lan Xinya''s heart! Lan Xinya didn''t know what kind of man she would find in the future if she didn''t get engaged to Gu Cheng? Moreover, the news of her engagement to Gu Cheng has already spread in the small circle in Kyoto¡ª Once their engagement is called off, it will be a major blow to her reputation! At that time, many people will know that she is about to get engaged to Gu Cheng, but was dumped by Gu Cheng on the eve of the engagement! Such a situation is an embarrassment for her! So now, no matter what, it is impossible for her to agree to Gu Cheng''s cancellation of the engagement! "Gu Cheng! What happened? Why did you suddenly cancel our engagement?" For the first time, Lan Xinya felt that everything around her was out of control¡ª She was nervous, flustered, and didn''t know what to do... "Is it because Lan Shu came to Kyoto? So you have to cancel the engagement with me?!" Besides this, Lan Xinya couldn''t think of any other reasons¡ª When Gu Cheng heard what Lan Xinya said on the phone, he was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously asked what was in his mind, "Has Lan Shu come to the capital?" It is undeniable that the existence of Lan Shu is indeed part of the reason why he changed his engagement with Xinya. While he was asking this question out, Lan Xinya on the other side of the phone believed that it was because of Lan Shu''s existence that the relationship between her and Gu Cheng was destroyed! (end of this chapter) Chapter 103: What have I deceived you about? Chapter 103 What did I deceive you about? The Lan family at this time. When Lan Weicheng heard his daughter''s out-of-control questioning voice, he focused on listening to the content of Xinya''s phone call. Although the person on the other side of the phone line was saying something, he couldn''t hear it. But from Xinya''s answer, Lan Weicheng has roughly understood the truth of the matter! Lan Weicheng never expected that Gu Chenghui would be the kind of man who broke his promise and abandoned his daughter! And this man even missed his other daughter after abandoning his own daughter! ¡ª Lan Weicheng had a good impression of Gu Cheng before. He thought that Gu Cheng was good in other aspects except that he was a little older. But now, all his impressions of Gu Cheng are completely shattered under the few words of his daughter at this moment! He only knows that the eldest son of the Gu family is really nothing! Just for his crooked thoughts! It''s not just about Xinya getting engaged to him, I won''t agree to it! Do you still dare to miss your own daughter? Don''t even think about it! Lan Weicheng was about to tell Gu Cheng that, but before he could walk over and answer the phone from his daughter, he saw her take the phone away from her ear in a daze. Obviously, Gu Cheng on the other side has hung up the phone¡ª When Lan Weicheng saw this situation, he immediately became angry! He was about to call again, scolding Gu Cheng bloody! I saw Xinya''s face was full of tears, weeping silently... Seeing his daughter''s heart-wrenching look, Lan Weicheng immediately comforted her. "Xinya doesn''t cry, that kind of man is not worth it!" "Not worth it?" Lan Xinya was startled. After that, she suddenly looked at her father with an aggrieved and sad look on her face. "Dad, did you hear that? Gu Cheng canceled our engagement because of Lan Shu! Don''t want me anymore!" "It''s all because of Lan Shu! If she hadn''t come to the capital, Gu Cheng and I must be fine by now, and we are preparing for our engagement tomorrow!" "It''s all because of Lan Shu that I have fallen to this point!" At this moment, Lan Xinya''s emotions have gradually lost control! Her tone carried deep complaints! That kind of complaint made Lan Weicheng stunned¡ª¡ª Xinya is blaming Shushu, his own daughter...? But what does this matter have to do with Shushu? Obviously Gu Cheng''s mind is not single-minded, but now his two daughters are making trouble because of this relationship, and there is a possibility that the relationship will break down and there will be irresolvable conflicts! "Xinya, don''t think so, Shushu..." "Shu Shu?" Lan Xinya looked at Lan Weicheng with disappointment when she heard this name! "Dad! I am the child you raised. Even though Lan Shu is your biological daughter, she has not been by your side since childhood. How could you know her so clearly?" "The current situation is because of Lan Shu, so Gu Cheng is unwilling to get engaged to me!" Lan Xinya spoke, her voice choked up and tears rolling down her cheeks. "Why do so many things happen when she comes? Dad, you are all blinded by Lan Shu''s appearance!" The last sentence was almost yelled out by Lan Xinya¡ª Hearing what Xinya said, Lan Weicheng''s first reaction was to never believe it! Although their biological daughter did not grow up with them, Lan Weicheng believes that his vision is not wrong! His daughter must not be the kind of person Xinya said! He was about to help his daughter explain, the next second, Lan Weicheng heard a voice from the direction outside the door¡ª¡ª "Beluded by my appearance?" Lan Shu heard Lan Xinya''s words as soon as she arrived, and she was very puzzled. "What did I deceive you about? Tell me?" Talking bad things about people behind their backs, but being caught on the spot, Lan Xinya has never encountered such an embarrassing moment! Even though she is full of complaints against Lan Shu at the moment, she is not yet ready to really tear herself apart with Lan Shu. Although Lan Xinya was extremely sad, she still retained a bit of reason in the end. She knew that Lan Shu was the biological daughter of her parents, if she insisted on confronting Lan Shu, she might end up watching her parents stand by their biological daughter! At that time, I, a daughter who has no blood relationship with my parents, will be rejected, left behind, or even sent back to the countryside... Lan Xinya will never let that happen! Even if she hated Lan Shu for confusing Gu Cheng, she would not fight Lan Shu. She just wants her parents to realize that Lan Shu is not a good person! Their biological daughter did shameless things, and the one who should be rejected should be Lan Shu! Seeing Lan Xinya looking at her with complicated eyes, and being speechless for a while, Lan Shu looked aside to Lan Weicheng who obviously had something to say. "What''s wrong?" When Lan Weicheng was asked suddenly, he was silent for a moment¡ª He doesn''t believe what Xinya said, and he won''t let Shushu know that Xinya thinks of her like this... Lan Weicheng still had the original idea. He hoped that his adopted daughter and his biological daughter could live in harmony. not as it is now. So, when his biological daughter asked about the situation, Lan Weicheng chose to hide it for his adopted daughter. "It''s nothing, but Xinya''s engagement with the Gu family will be canceled tomorrow..." Gu Cheng said, and sighed. It wasn''t because her daughter was getting dumped by a man because her engagement was approaching, but because she felt that her daughter''s life was bad, and she met such a **** man! Hearing the news, Lan Shu frowned slightly. Lan Xinya was scumbag by Gu Cheng? ! This surprised Lan Shu! How could it be possible to cancel the engagement between the heroine and the heroine? This is what happened in the novel. According to the plot, the hero and heroine will definitely be together! Moreover, if the two are not engaged, will it have any impact on the world? After all, they are the heroes and heroines of this world, the most important beings in this world! Whether there will be any problems, Lan Shu doesn''t know. All she can do now is to observe. Look at what will happen if the destined marriage between Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng fails¡ª Outside the gate of Lan''s courtyard, Xiao Bai, who was one step late helping Sister Lan with her luggage just now, heard the cancellation of the engagement between his brother and the adopted daughter of Lan''s family as soon as he entered the door. Xiao Bai frowned. Gu Cheng did not tell his family about this. The parents at home didn¡¯t know about it yet, but Gu Cheng dared to make a claim. It''s just like what his father said, Gu Cheng is rich and powerful now, and he does things casually and even recklessly! He didn''t even think about whether he would embarrass Lan and Gu''s elders by doing so. Xiaobai felt that he had to tell his parents about this matter as soon as possible so that they could be mentally prepared. "Uncle Lan, let me borrow your phone." Xiao Bai said, carrying Lan Shu''s luggage, strode into Lan''s house. Then he put his luggage aside, picked up the phone on the small table in the living room, and dialed his home number... There is still a chapter being written, it will be updated later, let¡¯s read it tomorrow~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 104: key Chapter 104 Key Gu family, Gu Anguo hasn''t come back yet, Wei Qiushuang is alone at home. After learning of Gu Cheng''s decision, Wei Qiushuang''s reaction was the same as Xiao Bai''s, she was very dissatisfied with Gu Cheng''s behavior! "Marriage is not a child''s play, and engagement can''t be treated casually. It''s not a trivial matter. How can it be decided or cancelled?!" Although Wei Qiushuang was angry, she was not Gu Cheng''s mother after all, and it was inappropriate for her to come forward in some matters. So, she could only tell her husband about this as soon as possible. So after Wei Qiushuang hung up the phone, she called her old Gu''s unit directly¡ª As for the Lan family, although Lan Weicheng knows that what Gu Cheng did has nothing to do with the rest of the Gu family! But just now he learned that his daughter was played by Gu Cheng, and now he was shown another son of the Gu family, which really made Lan Weicheng feel very angry! He is not even in the mood to entertain guests! Fortunately, the return of his biological daughter finally relieved Lan Weicheng''s original annoyance... "Shushu, when did you arrive in Kyoto from Linjiang City? Is there a train arriving at this hour?" Lan Weicheng asked. Lan Shu knew that Lan Weicheng was in a bad mood because of Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng''s affairs, and it was already very rare to be able to cheer up and talk to herself at this moment. So for Lan Weicheng''s questions, Lan Shu answered them one by one¡ª "I arrived in the morning, and I found that you all went to work early in the morning, so I went to Gu''s house and had a meal there at noon." Speaking, Lan Shu glanced at Xiao Bai who was on the phone not far away. Seeing that Xiaobai hadn''t finished the phone call, she continued talking to Lan Weicheng. "I thought it was time to get off work, so I came here at this time." When Lan Weicheng heard that his biological daughter had returned home, he couldn''t even get in. This made him very uncomfortable! Last time, he forgot to give Shushu the key to his house before she left... However, there is still time today for things that I didn¡¯t do before~! So, Lan Weicheng went back to the room, and when he came out again, he already had a spare key in his hand. "Shushu, this is the key to our house. Take it well, and you won''t be unable to enter your house next time." Lan Weicheng said, but he still had some doubts in his heart. Judging from the time when Shu Shu took the train out of the station, even if she was delayed on the way, when she arrived at the door, she and her wife would go to work and go to the counter of the mall, but wouldn''t Xinya still be there at home? This is Shushu coming, but Xinya didn''t open the door for her? Lan Weicheng suddenly thought of the phrase that Xinya mentioned when she called Gu Cheng just now, "Lan Shu has come to the capital..." Thinking of this, Lan Weicheng frowned. It seems that Xinya really knew that Shushu was coming! Thinking of Shushu standing outside calling the door in the morning, and Xinya pretending not to hear in the room, Lan Weicheng suddenly felt heartbroken! Although he didn''t believe that Xinya would be that kind of person, what happened in front of him showed such a point¡ª On the opposite side, Lan Shu saw the key handed over by Lan Weicheng, and she hesitated for a moment before accepting the key. The last time she came to Kyoto, she had already promised the original owner''s biological parents that she would live at home when she came to Kyoto for the New Year. After she moved in, it was really inconvenient for her to go in and out of the house without a key. So she holds the key first, and she will return it to the Lan family when she leaves Kyoto. Aside, Lan Xinya watched Lan Shu get the house key, which proved that she was already a part of the family! Originally, she was the only daughter in the family, but now there is another Lan Shu, which makes Lan Xinya not used to it! Especially this Lan Shu is the one who destroys the relationship between her and Gu Cheng! This made Lan Xinya feel even more uncomfortable¡ª As an adopted daughter, she has no position and no qualifications to stop what is happening in front of her... Not far away, Xiaobai finally finished the phone call, he immediately came over and thanked the elders of the Lan family. Originally, he wanted to stay in the Lan family for a while longer, but now that he knows what Gu Cheng has done, he, Gu Cheng''s younger brother, need not think about it, he will definitely be implicated~! So the Lan family, he won''t stay today. Wait for the matter to be resolved, and he will come again next time. So Xiaobai immediately said goodbye to Lan Weicheng, and then left in a hurry¡ª Before he left, he did not forget to tell Lan Shu, "I will call if there is news about the Lan family and the Gu family." Originally, he was unwilling to take care of the affairs of Gu Cheng and the adopted daughter of the Lan family. But in order to make Sister Lan happy during the New Year at the Lan family, he will try to help solve the Lan family''s problems. ¡­ As soon as Xiaobai left, Lan Xinya could only wait for news for the time being. Lan Weicheng comforted Lan Xinya with a few words, telling her adoptive daughter to rest more and get some sleep, and most of the troubles will be over! Then he took Lan Shu upstairs. While walking, Lan Weicheng also introduced, "Shushu, I have already arranged your room, it is in the middle of the second floor, next to Xinya''s room." This room was actually Lan Weicheng''s study room. He only needs to open the window every day to have a panoramic view of his yard¡ª The study room is not small, always about fourteen or five square meters. This is also the largest room in the house except the room of their husband and wife and Xinya. In order to make his daughter live comfortably, Lan Weicheng changed his study into the current bedroom. Lan Shu opened the door and walked in, and found that the bedroom was well tidied up, and everything in the room looked new. There is a bed, a table, and a chair inside. Such an arrangement. It''s almost the same as Xiaobai''s room before~! It''s just replacing the army green quilt that Xiaobai used with a bright red one! Such a color even gave Lan Shu an illusion, as if this was a wedding room¡ª "Shushu, we didn''t know what color you like in advance, but if you think about it, you can definitely buy red." When mentioning his own daughter, Lan Weicheng finally had a smile on his face. He is quite confident about the red color of this bed. But seeing his biological daughter standing in the room, motionless, he was not sure again... So Lan Weicheng asked again, "Or Shushu, what color do you like? These days, you can still buy cotton and fabrics in the mall, let your mother make you a quilt again!" Lan Shu appreciated Lan Weicheng''s kindness. "That''s good, don''t bother anymore." She said. "This child! What did you say? How can it be troublesome to your family?" Lan Weicheng couldn''t listen to his biological daughter alienating them. "You can go home and live, and your mother and I are too happy. If you don''t have a factory in Qingyang County, I can''t wait for you to live at home every day!" "As for the trouble, don''t talk about it again, we are all family." Lan Weicheng said seriously. 10,000 words completed! The three-day explosion is over~ As a preview, there will be another 10,000 explosions during the National Day, and it will come when I save the manuscript~ Finally ask for tickets, these days there are double monthly tickets, please! (end of this chapter) Chapter 105: firm attitude Chapter 105 Resolute attitude Lan Shu could feel Lan Weicheng''s sincerity towards her. Probably the blood relationship really has this kind of wonderful ''magic power'', even if they haven''t seen each other for nearly twenty years, once they recognize their children, the parents will instantly be willing to give everything they have and give everything for their children¡ª This feeling is something Lan Shu has never felt before! It is different from the kind of affection that Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang had for the original owner. Bloodline can make two strangers get closer to themselves in an instant! Seeing Lan Weicheng''s selfless care for her, Lan Shu suddenly felt that she was moved. What''s the matter with the sore eyes... She took a deep breath, looked at Lan Weicheng seriously, nodded heavily, "OK." Although the answer is only one word, at this moment, Lan Shu no longer regards Lan Weicheng as her biological parents in blood relationship, but treats him as a real relative! ¡­ During dinner at night, Xu Shan found out that Gu Cheng, the eldest son of the Gu family, wanted to cancel his engagement with Xinya. When Lan Xinya was on the phone in the living room, Xu Shan was cooking in the kitchen, not knowing what was going on outside. Hearing what her husband said at this time, Xu Shan suddenly became furious¡ª Xu Shan, who has always looked like a good wife and loving mother, stared straight at her! "It''s a good thing that Xinya hasn''t gotten engaged to that **** from the Gu family, otherwise, if she regrets the engagement after the engagement, things will be serious!" Speaking of this, Xu Shan has a very firm attitude! "Since this incident happened, we have recognized who Gu Cheng is from now on. Even if Gu Cheng repents in the future, our family, Xinya, will definitely not be able to get together with that kind of person!" Xu Shan didn''t say this because she thought her adopted daughter was so attractive and could make a man change his mind, but because the two young people had a good time after all, and everything happened in case. She just put the words first. At the dinner table, Lan Xinya, who was not in the mood or appetite to eat, heard what her mother said, and said with a straight face, "I''m full." Then she got up and went upstairs¡ª Lan Xinya couldn''t accept this fact because she was sad, and because she hated seeing Lan Shu, she didn''t want to get along with Lan Shu, so she didn''t plan to go downstairs. It was her parents who had been persuading her earnestly outside her room door, and they reluctantly persuaded her to go downstairs. But now, Lan Xinya couldn''t listen to her mother''s sentence, "She and Gu Cheng are no longer possible"! Although she is angry at Gu Cheng''s empathy, if one day Gu Cheng changes his mind and sincerely apologizes... Lan Xinya felt that she would probably forgive Gu Cheng. So, she couldn''t listen to her mother''s words, so she chose not to listen. Seeing Lan Xinya''s attitude, Lan Shu was not surprised. The law of most novels is like this, no matter how scumbag the male protagonist is, the female protagonist will definitely forgive the male protagonist and stay with the male protagonist in the end. Although Lan Shu still doesn''t know whether Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng can''t really get engaged tomorrow, one thing is certain, the relationship between Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng should be in the sadomasochistic love mode right now? As the cannon fodder in this novel, I have nothing to do with myself. Lan Shu doesn''t have to do anything, she just needs to watch the play from the sidelines. For the last meal, no one in the family could eat well except Lan Shu. Lan Xinya went upstairs without eating, Xu Shan followed and continued to persuade. Lan Weicheng sighed downstairs while absent-mindedly eating with his biological daughter. After eating, Lan Shu was ready to go upstairs to rest. At this time, on the small table with the phone on the side of the living room, the phone rang, "Ring Ring Ring~~" The call was from the Gu family. Gu Anguo apologized to the Lan family for the elder son''s arbitrarily canceled engagement with the daughter of the Lan family. Even he can''t get in touch with Gu Cheng now, so the engagement between the two families will definitely not be able to proceed as usual tomorrow. But Gu Anguo said that he would definitely give the Lan family an explanation! Lan Weicheng was still angry with the Gu family at first, but now, a big leader like Gu Anguo is willing to lower his figure to apologize to his family and promise to give his family an explanation. Even if Lan Weicheng was angry, half of his anger disappeared. At least the cancellation of the engagement of the two families is not the fault of the Gu family, but the responsibility of Gu Cheng alone! This night is destined to be a sleepless night for most of Gu and Lan... ¡­ The next day, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are still four days before the Chinese New Year. Today was supposed to be the day when Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng got engaged, but the Jingdu Hotel, which had been booked in advance, was empty. Before, Gu contracted the right to use the entire hotel today. At that time, he did not expect that the night before this day, he would decide to cancel the engagement banquet. For the engagement between him and Lan Xinya, part of the invitation has already been sent out. Because he failed to get engaged as promised, on this day, Gu Cheng made and answered a lot of calls, explaining to some people his cancellation of engagement. At the end of the day, Gu Cheng only felt dry mouth and exhausted physically and mentally. It turns out that explaining the reason to people is also such a tiring thing¡ª ¡­ On the same day, Lan Shu also made a lot of phone calls. As Chinese New Year approaches, her two factories also pay year-end bonuses and dividends in addition to wages. Now that Lanshu is in the capital, the affairs of the factory can only be arranged by the secretaries on both sides. Fortunately, the toilet paper factory has Deputy Director Zhu in charge. As for the garment factory, it was definitely a major experience for Secretary Tang and A Xing to handle the affairs of the factory properly according to the arrangement of Director Lan! Lan Shu finished calling in the morning, and by the afternoon, she had already received replies from Secretary Tang and Secretary Qu. At the toilet paper factory, the net income has reached more than 270,000 yuan in the past three months. Excluding the addition of a few machines and parts, there are still about 200,000 yuan left. Of these funds, 130,000 was set aside as the working capital of the factory, and the remaining 70,000, of which about 20,000 were paid to the workers one after another, and 50,000 was prepared according to the ratio of the original fund-raising by the workers in the factory, and the dividend table was prepared, etc. Two days later, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it will be distributed together¡ª Lanshu''s 15% shares can be distributed to 7500! Zhang Yunjing and Zhu, deputy director of the factory, can also get more than two thousand and one thousand respectively. Although this kind of dividend is not as high as Zhang Yunjing expected at the beginning, but she heard that Lan Shu left the money because she planned to double the size of the factory next year, so Zhang Yunjing understood... And she is very looking forward to how high the profit and dividends will be next year after the factory doubles! The rest of the old workers in the factory who participated in the fund-raising at the beginning, saw the employee bonus slips posted in the factory, and they could get bonuses ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. Although the money has not yet arrived, it has already excited them! To them, this is like picking it up for nothing! And listened to Deputy Factory Director Zhu''s message to Factory Director Lan, next year their dividends will be even more! Of course, Xiaobai got the most points. His 49% of the shares can be divided into 24,500 yuan! I went out today, and there is still one chapter unfinished, so I will update it later. (end of this chapter) Chapter 106: Which kind of friends? Chapter 106 Which friend? Xiaobai¡¯s original investment was 50,000, and within three months, almost half of it was returned! And this is only a part of the dividend~ Lan Shu plans to call Xiao Bai at night to tell him the good news. In addition to the toilet paper factory, the garment factory is also full of success. After two or three months of development, the factory has grown from a small workshop with five or six people to a small factory with forty or fifty workers. Although most of the money earned along the way was reinvested, but in the last month of the year, especially after the newspaper advertisements in Linjiang City, the sales of clothing in their factory have increased dramatically! In less than a month, more than 30 agency stores sold 200,000 to 300,000 items! After deducting various expenses, the final profit is also very considerable, and the profit of the factory exceeds 100,000! For the 100,000 yuan, Lan Shu is going to give 3,000 yuan to the five salesmen in their factory. In addition to the commission, each person will be given an extra 100 yuan as a bonus. Secretary Tang and A Xing are the same, one hundred each. And Xie Xiaoju has more. Lan Shu''s clothing factory is now able to start up, thanks to Xie Xiaoju''s efforts. So, Lan Shu asked Secretary Tang to give Xie Xiaoju a big red envelope worth 300 yuan! For the remaining 2,000 yuan, worker No. 57 in the factory can get a year-end bonus ranging from 60 to 20 according to the time of coming to the factory and the type of work. Although the money is not much, as an additional benefit for everyone in the factory, it is already unmatched by other factories¡ª ¡­ Lan Family, Lan Weicheng came back from a few counters in the mall in the afternoon, just in time to hear that his own daughter called and arranged for two factories to give out bonuses for the Chinese New Year. Although Lan Weicheng is not clear about the business situation in his daughter''s factory, he heard that the toilet paper factory has a dividend of 50,000 yuan! Lan Weicheng was really shocked! He felt more and more that his own daughter was too capable! What should I do when my old father is far inferior...? Lan Weicheng was even thinking, if one day he wanted to give the tens of thousands of dollars he had saved for the past two years to his children, would Shu Shu not like it at all? ? Leaving aside, originally Lan Weicheng planned to give Shushu a big red envelope of 5,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year, but now, it must be raised to 10,000 yuan! Otherwise he would be too embarrassed to show his hand... As for Xinya, after all, she is not like Shushu who left them for nineteen years. He has given Xinya the New Year''s money every year, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, so the New Year''s red envelopes are the same as last year''s, five hundred... Forget it, let''s give one thousand! Lan Weicheng felt that his plan was very fair. ¡­ The next morning, Kyoto. After Lan Weicheng went out, an unexpected guest came to Lan''s house¡ª¡ª Gu Cheng explained to the guests who received the invitations yesterday, he finally finished his work, and today he came to Lan''s house. Gu Cheng came this time, not to find Lan Xinya, nor to apologize to the Lan family, but for Lan Shu¡ª On this morning when she didn''t have to go to work, Lan Shu slept until dawn. She didn''t get up until she heard the quarrel downstairs, changed her clothes, and went downstairs. Her hair was **** high, with a ball head pulled up, wearing a black turtleneck sweater, a quilted light purple short jacket, and a pair of woolen pants under the wide-leg pants on her legs. This kind of outfit is still very comfortable at home, and the overall look is youthful and energetic. She walked down the stairs with a ''squeak...'', and the first sentence she heard was Lan Xinya''s sad question¡ª "Gu Cheng! How could you do this to me?!" "I''ve said it before, if you want any compensation, just ask." Gu Cheng said coldly, without any emotion in his tone. "Our family does not care about your compensation! You are simply bullying our family Xinya!" Besides, Xu Shan''s voice came out. As for Lan Weicheng, he should have gone to the counter of the mall at this time, so Lan Shu didn''t hear the voice. Knowing that it was the hero who arrived, Lan Shu didn''t plan to go down to join in the fun, but she was worried that Xu Shan was still downstairs! So Lan Shu quickened her pace and walked downstairs. The quarrel between the three was not in the living room on the first floor. What Gu Cheng did, it was impossible for Xu Shan to let him into the house. So the location of the incident at this time is in the courtyard of the two-story Lan family. The reason why Gu Cheng was able to enter the gate, Lan Shu also guessed that it should be the reason of "family ugliness should not be publicized". If the three of them quarreled outside the door, they would all be seen by outsiders¡ª Even if the quarrels in the yard can still be heard, it is better than being watched completely. "I was wrong about my engagement with Xinya, but this matter is wrong, and there is nothing to explain. If you are unwilling to accept it, I can''t help it." Gu Cheng said, with an attitude that he was wrong but never changed, which made Lan Xinya helpless. On the contrary, Xu Shan still has some knowledge, so she was not fooled by Gu Cheng''s words. Xu Shan pointed outside the gate of her house, "In this case, you leave our house immediately! You are not welcome in our house, and Xinya will never see you again in the future!" "Mom, I..." Lan Xinya felt that Xu Shan''s words were too absolute. The next second, she heard Gu Cheng say, "I can''t leave now, I have something to do when I come today, I heard that your biological daughter has come to the capital..." Just walked out of the house and came to the yard, Lan Shu who heard the male lead say:? ? ? What did the hero ask for himself? Immediately afterwards, she realized that Gu Cheng had seen her, and was walking towards her direction, and stopped in front of her. "Lanshu, I want to get to know you." Gu Cheng looked serious and spoke very formally, and even offered Lan Shu a handshake gesture. Lan Shu:? She silently made a question mark in her heart, then moved her eyes downward, and glanced at Gu Chengzheng begging for a handshake... "Sorry, just shake hands, I don''t like it." She glanced at it, then looked away, and opened her mouth to express her thoughts, without giving Gu Cheng any face. When Gu Cheng heard her say this, although he was stunned for a moment, he was not angry. Although such a result was not what he could have expected in advance, it was not surprising to Gu Cheng that Lan Shu made it. He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, instead of getting angry, he looked very calm, which surprised Lan Xinya and Xu Shan behind him! "Sorry to make you feel disgusted, but I really want to make friends with you." Gu Cheng continued. "make friends?" While speaking, Lan Shu couldn''t help but sneer. "Which aspect do you mean by making friends? Pure friendship? Or business cooperation?" She asked, but Gu Cheng couldn''t answer, so she gave her own answer. "I don''t want to see you at all, so no matter what aspect you want to make friends with me, you don''t have to~!" These are Lan Shu''s inner thoughts. Just like what she analyzed before, if she gets closer to the male lead, she might become a ''cannon fodder'' faster! Update completed~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 107: im not interested in old men Chapter 107 I am not interested in old men Gu Cheng already knew that the communication between himself and Lan Shu would not be so easy, so he was already mentally prepared before coming. But even so, Gu Cheng did not expect Lan Shu to say that. Gu Cheng frowned. He originally wanted to get acquainted with Lan Shu first, and then pursue him. But now, Lan Shu doesn''t give him a chance to get close at all, which makes Gu Cheng have to change his original plan¡ª "Hello, Lan Shu, the reason why I want to make friends with you is not only to know you, but also to pursue you. I don''t know you..." "Sorry, I''m not interested in old men." Lan Shu said with obvious disgust on her face. She was really disgusted by the male lead''s coquettish operation~! Is it because you think you are not enough cannon fodder, so you come to hasten your own ''death''? Anyway, no matter what the reason is, it''s pretty disgusting. The phrase ''old man'' made Gu Cheng stunned for several seconds. He is only seven years older than Lan Shu, Lan Xinya is willing to be nice to her, but she hates it? Besides, Xu Shan and Lan Xinya were also stunned on the spot when they heard Lan Shu''s words! Xu Shan didn''t expect her own daughter to speak so rudely! But it''s really refreshing! ¡ª Lan Xinya felt surprised and relieved, but also felt humiliated. Lan Xinya was surprised that Lan Shu refused Gu Cheng''s pursuit face to face. And when Lan Shu said that Gu Cheng was an ''old man'', she immediately thought that she was dating Gu Cheng and almost got engaged... So in Lan Shu''s eyes, she just found an ''old man'' as her future marriage partner? But in the end, Lan Xinya was still a little bit happy because Gu Cheng''s confession failed, and because Gu Cheng and Lan Shu were not together. In the yard, Lan Shu didn''t give Gu Cheng a chance to be in a daze. "I''ve finished my words. No matter what you think, I''m not interested in you at all, and I even hate you. I hope you''d better not appear in front of me next time." After finishing speaking, Lan Shu looked at Xu Shan who was not far away, and said softly, "Mom, is there any breakfast for me in the kitchen?" She asked about breakfast, but it was just an excuse to let Xu Shan leave, so as not to be involved in Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng''s affairs. Xu Shan was slightly taken aback when she heard this¡ª This was the first time she heard her biological daughter call her mother! Xu Shan was just about to be happy, but when she saw Lan Shu winking at her, she finally realized what it meant to have her own daughter. She turned her head to look at Gu Cheng, and said coldly, "No matter which daughter you are looking for today, you are not welcome here, please go back!" Lan Shu didn''t even give Gu Cheng a look, turned around and went back to the house to wait for breakfast. Gu Cheng saw this, although he was unwilling to let it go today, but he was really hit by Lan Shu''s words. ''Old man...'' Thinking of the reason why he was rejected by Lan Shu, he didn''t even know how to deal with himself? If she really cares about her age, it''s really a difficult thing to do. "Lanshu, I''m not a few years older than you..." Just when she reached the door, Lan Shu, who was about to enter the house, heard the voice and suddenly stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and looked at Gu Cheng again. "Don''t you have a clear understanding of yourself? Even if you don''t talk about your age, you are a man with ordinary looks, an impermanent personality, and nothing but a little money. I have to be blind to treat you interesting?" "I''m not short of money. If I want a man, I won''t. There are so many good-looking and good-looking men in this world. Why should I find someone like you?" After speaking, Lan Shu turned around quickly, and walked into the door without looking back. Only Gu Cheng, who was hit again, was left behind, and Lan Xinya even doubted herself when she heard that the man she once liked was criticized for being worthless? Is your vision really bad? But Gu Chengming is the youngest man in the business district of Kyoto, who is called a business genius by the circle! Even my father said before that Gu Cheng has a bright future, how could he choose the wrong person? It must be because Lan Shu''s vision is so strange that she feels that Gu Cheng has no good points! Even though she was dumped, Lan Xinya still believed that her choice at that time was not wrong. Maybe admitting that she has a problem with her eyesight would be another blow to her... ¡­ In the courtyard, Gu Cheng had nowhere to go, so he left quickly. Being despised by the women he likes one after another, Gu Cheng really can''t bear such a blow. And this time, Lan Xinya did not try to keep Gu Cheng. She thought she should calm down and think about Lan Shu''s words. Is Gu Cheng really that bad? Xu Shan went to the kitchen and served a meal for her biological daughter, a bowl of thickened rice porridge, and two fried eggs sprinkled with a little salt. Xu Shan is very willing to use oil when cooking. The surface of the two fried eggs is golden, and they are almost fried! Lan Shu likes to eat eggs with burnt surface fried, while Lan Xinya likes to eat soft-boiled eggs on one side. When Xu Shan saw that her own daughter''s taste was exactly the same as her own, she couldn''t help her eyes getting wet again. This is her biological daughter... For a long time, Xu Shan never doubted whether Xinya was her own, even though Xinya and herself had no similarities in appearance and taste. If I could find out earlier, find Shushu earlier, maybe Shushu would not have married or divorced at a young age... Lan Shu didn''t notice the change in Xu Shan''s expression, but Lan Xinya took this scene into her eyes¡ª She has a very good relationship with her mother since she was a child. When her mother saw that Lan Shu and she like to eat the same fried eggs, she couldn''t help but think about many things. Lan Xinya suddenly became jealous. She didn''t even have time to think about the matter between her and Gu Cheng. But even if she didn''t want to, rumors about the cancellation of the two''s engagement banquet were already spreading outside! ¡­ Z district compound, Gu''s family. Although Gu Anguo is on vacation, he is not at all relaxed and happy that he should be on vacation. Even suffocating! ¡ª From yesterday to today, as soon as Gu Anguo went out, he could hear people in the yard discussing the cancellation of his eldest son''s engagement. Some said that Gu Cheng had another new love, and was found out by the girl from the Lan family, so he was dumped by the girl! Some people said that it was because Gu Cheng was rich and powerful, liked the new and disliked the old, and also fell in love with other little girls, so he didn''t get engaged. In short, there are gossips of all kinds. Gu Anguo was able to sit in his current position. He is a leader, and he wants to save face when he goes out. Although those people didn''t say it in front of his face, they talked about it behind his back, which shows that this matter has had a great impact! At this moment, Gu Anguo wished he could call his eldest son back and beat him up! Obviously he was a good kid when he was young, so why did he become an **** the longer he grew up? Gu Anguo couldn''t figure it out. (end of this chapter) Chapter 108: What is the source? Chapter 108 What is the origin? Gu Anguo was sitting on the sofa in the living room with a sad face and was silent when he saw his youngest son walking down the stairs briskly. Gu Jue''s expression seemed to be in a good mood. He was still wearing a brand new black cotton jacket today, with a dark gray cardigan sweater inside. He had obviously dressed up specially and was about to go out. Gu Anguo:? He was angry and frowning, but the younger son had a cheerful attitude! This comparison made Gu Anguo feel uncomfortable¡ª "Where are you going?" "go¡­" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Gu Anguo suddenly thought of something, and opened his mouth, "The Lan family?" "Yes." Xiaobai nodded. Gu Anguo got up immediately upon hearing this, "I''ll go with you." Although he had already apologized to the Lan family on the phone, what his eldest son did must have had a big impact on the Lan family! For this matter, he had to pay a visit and express his apology in person. Although Xiaobai didn''t want to go to find Sister Lan with his father, his father''s decision was made. So, Xiaobai, who was going out with a relaxed face, let out a long sigh¡ª Bringing his father this ''cumbersome'', the expression on his face is not so happy~ Outside the gate of the Gu family, Driver Feng, who was waiting for his young master, unexpectedly found their father''s good son-in-law! Half an hour later, Gu Anguo and Xiao Bai arrived at Lan''s house by car... ¡­ Lan''s house, Lan Shu finished breakfast and was going to take a walk in the yard. While digesting food and walking, you can also breathe fresh air. Lan Xinya didn''t want to go out at first, but Xu Shan pushed her out so that she could have more contact with Lan Shu. The husband and wife are single-mindedly hoping that the adopted daughter and their biological daughter can have a good relationship. It''s a pity that when Lan Xinya was pushed out of the house by Xu Shan, Lan Shu had already gone far. Lan Shu knew what Xu Shan wanted, but unfortunately she couldn''t follow it. To Lan Xinya, how far she is, how far she is. The compound where the Lan family is located is neither big nor small. Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, all units are on holiday, so there are many more people in the yard than usual. In several families near Lan''s house, four or five old sister-in-laws and old ladies who are close to each other often get together to chat. Early this morning, five or six people were sitting under the big tree, knitting sweaters and chatting again~ "Not long ago, you said that the Lan family had taken over the Gu family, but the engagement was not finalized yesterday!" Someone said. "The previous news is correct! The reason for not being engaged is because the daughter of the Lan family was dumped by the son of the Gu family recently~!" Someone replied convincingly. "Whether you want to shake it or not, that''s all other people''s business, how do you know?" Aside, others questioned the news. "I think it might be the girl from the Lan family who dumped the son of the Gu family!" "How is this possible? The disparity between the Lan family and the Gu family, isn''t it obvious who dumps whom?" There were so many people, the topic quickly started¡ª "Then you are wrong~! I saw the eldest son of the Gu family go to the Lan family this morning, but was rejected by the daughter of the Lan family!" Said the old lady who lived in the building next door to Lan''s house. As soon as she finished speaking, another elder sister-in-law in her fifties immediately retorted¡ª "I also passed by the Lan family in the morning, but what I heard was the daughter of the Lan family crying in the courtyard, wanting to reconcile with the eldest son of the Gu family!" Both said they heard voices from the Lan family, but their explanations were different. Just because of this matter, a group of women with an average age of over fifty soon started arguing. At this moment, Lan Shu, who was passing by, happened to hear what they were discussing. She couldn''t help but slow down, wanting to hear how much of what she said in the yard this morning had been spread. But who would have thought that the topic of heated discussion among several middle-aged and elderly aunts would change at will! Before Lan Shu could react, they had already talked about¡ª "Have you heard that the daughter of the Lan family is actually not her own, but her fault! It is probably because of this reason that the Gu family regretted it!" "I don''t know what the biological daughter of the Lan family looks like?" "Growing up in the country since I was a child, I guess it''s not very good. I''m sure not as quiet and delicate as the girls raised in the city." "The Lan family is really miserable. The daughter who has been raised for 10 or 20 years is not her own daughter, but her own daughter grew up in the countryside and can''t get on the stage..." Lan Shu, who was said to be unworthy of the stage: ... Well, she really ''eat melon'' on herself~! Lan Shu no longer intends to listen to the next topic of the aunts. She was about to leave, when she suddenly found that the chatting aunts stopped chatting, and cast their eyes on her¡ª Everyone is an old neighbor who has lived in this yard for decades. A new face like Lan Shu quickly attracted the attention of others. Lan Shu is wearing a short lavender woolen quilted jacket and black high-waisted trousers. With the blessing of her hairstyle, she looks youthful, energetic and good-looking, which is naturally eye-catching. "Girl, whose relative are you from? Are you here for the Chinese New Year this year?" When the aunts get together, they can talk about any topic and strike up a conversation with anyone. When asked about her identity, Lan Shu hesitated a little. I was told by them just now that I was not worthy of the stage... Lan Shu thinks she is a kind person. These aunts just have nothing to do, chatting, and I have been listening for a long time. If they suddenly say that they are the daughters of the Lan family, they will definitely embarrass a group of people! She has no grievances with these people, so there is no need to ''slap her face''. So, she was about to make any excuses to fool her. At this time, a black car drove into the compound and drove to the vicinity. The car that was supposed to drive to the gate of Lan''s house suddenly stopped before reaching the destination. The car door opened, Xiao Bai got out of the car, walked towards Lan Shu in a good mood¡ª "Sister Lan, I was planning to go to your house to look for you, but before I arrived, I met you first~" Surname Lan? A group of aunts already had some guesses when they heard this surname. Following closely behind Xiaobai, another person got off the car! Gu Anguo is tall and strong, with a majestic face in Chinese characters. He doesn''t have the fat of a middle-aged man at all. Even when he is old, he looks dignified. Because of his youngest son, Gu Anguo knew that his youngest son was very close to the biological daughter of the Lan family. That''s why when he saw Lan Shu, he didn''t have the slightest airs, got out of the car and greeted people. "Miss Lan Shu, is your father Lan Weicheng at home?" Besides, the aunts gathered to chat heard the name Lan Weicheng, and they looked at the beautiful little girl in front of them in surprise. "You, you, you are the biological daughter of the Lan family who grew up in the countryside?!" If I remember correctly, they just said that the Lan family''s biological daughter was not allowed to be on stage. But now, the girl in front of her is Bai Jing and beautiful, with a slender figure and long legs. Does she look like a countryman at all? What surprised them even more was that even the leader who got off the white brand car talked to the little girl! What is the origin of the biological daughter of the Lan family? Happy National Day holiday everyone~ A new month begins, ask for a monthly pass~ This month¡¯s recommendation ticket, monthly ticket, and reward update plan have started~ Vote a lot, there will be more updates~ Another notice, 10,000 words will be updated on October 6! (end of this chapter) Chapter 109: Your son wants to pursue my daughter Chapter 109 Your son wants to pursue my daughter Knowing that Gu Anguo wanted to come to Lan''s house to apologize, Lan Shu didn''t talk to the neighbors and aunts in the compound, and immediately took them home. Even though Lan Shu had gone far away, a group of old aunts and old ladies gathered to chat were still amazed! "Be good~ This biological daughter of the Lan family is really amazing!" "Looking at it this way, how can the situation of the Lan family be miserable? Even if they have raised their daughter for 10 or 20 years, so what if the son of the Gu family divorces the marriage? Look at this biological daughter, who is beautiful and knows the big boss! Really! incredible!" "Also, have you paid attention to the young man next to the biological daughter of the Lan family? He is so handsome! Maybe the adopted daughter of the Lan family is not engaged, and the biological daughter can be a step ahead!" "The Lan family can have such a biological daughter, it''s time to secretly laugh, why do you care about the divorce of the adopted daughter?" The discussion of several people was just heard by Lan Xinya who came here a step late! Lan Xinya was wary and hostile towards Lan Shu, but now she heard that the old neighbors in the compound compared her with Lan Shu, and said that she was inferior to Lan Shu in everything. Lan Xinya''s small white teeth were almost shattered! She didn''t go out before, and she didn''t know that so many people in the yard knew about her and Gu Cheng''s cancellation of engagement. Now, thinking of the old neighbors in the yard talking about me behind their backs, it feels like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me all the time. Lan Xinya, who was planning to listen to her mother and walk around the yard to relax, now has no intention of taking a walk anymore! She turned around and returned home the same way. At this moment, Lan Xinya even had the idea of ??hiding and not being seen anymore. It seems that only in this way, others will not point and point at her behind her back! ¡­ The arrival of Gu Anguo from the Lan family made Xu Shan a little nervous besides being surprised. Husband has always been the one to take care of the outside affairs of the family, let alone a big leader coming to her home, so Xu Shan immediately called her husband''s shopping mall and asked someone to call her husband back. Lan Weicheng couldn''t get home for a while, so Xu Shan first invited Gu Anguo to take a seat and poured tea. Thanks to Gu Anguo''s blessing, Xiao Bai was politely arranged to sit on the sofa. Lan Shu came out of the kitchen and made a cup of fruit tea for Xiao Bai. Although vegetables and fruits are relatively scarce in winter, it is for ordinary families. The living conditions of the Lan family are not bad, so there are still a few fruits at home. Cut fresh apples and pears into pieces, add a few slices of oranges from the canned oranges, add two pieces of rock sugar, pour a cup of warm water, and the simple fruit tea is ready. Gu Anguo looked at the two cups of tea that were completely different from his own in front of his son. His cup was a cup of strong tea water, while his son''s cup was a cup of fruity catechu that seemed sour and sweet. In Gu Anguo''s mind, he still prefers the cup in front of his son. It''s a pity that his majestic appearance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one would have thought that he, a middle-level leader in the political circle, would like sweet and sour food. Xiaobai took a sip from the teacup in his arms. In this cold weather, the warm, fruity-sweet tea made him squint his eyes involuntarily, feeling comfortable physically and mentally. "It''s delicious~" He looked up at Lan Shu and said softly. It made Gu Anguo on the side even more curious, what would the tea made from fruit taste like? In the living room, Xu Shan moved a stool, sat down a little cautiously, and quietly set it up. Opposite, when Gu Anguo was silent, an inexplicable majestic aura pervaded her body, making Xu Shan a little nervous, not knowing what to say. Lan Shu saw that the atmosphere was somewhat cold, so she immediately winked at Xiaobai. Gu Anguo''s side, Xiaobai understands in seconds! He immediately said kindly to Sister Lan''s biological mother, "Auntie, this time my dad came here to formally apologize to your family." Xiaobai just needs to start, and Gu Anguo immediately took the conversation by himself¡ª He got up, faced Xu Shan''s direction, and said in apologetically serious tone, "It''s us elders who didn''t teach our children well that made Gu Cheng hurt your daughter. This matter should have been handled by Gu Cheng himself." Come on, apologize in person, but he..." Gu Anguo did not continue talking. Because he was thinking, as a father, he said, "I can''t find the whereabouts of my son", is there any credibility to this statement? But in the Lan family, neither Xu Shan nor Lan Shu knew the reason for Gu Anguo''s pause. But what Xu Shan said to Gu Anguo, asked Gu Cheng to apologize in person... "Gu Cheng came to our house yesterday." Xu Shan said suddenly. This sentence made Gu Anguo slightly taken aback, "He still knows to apologize?" It seems that my son has not yet reached the point where he is defiant and hopeless because of his wealth and wealth. But then, he heard Xu Shan say, "I didn''t see if I was apologizing, but your son said he wanted to pursue my daughter." Gu Anguo:? ? ? Gu Cheng wants to pursue the daughter of the Lan family? Then why did he cancel the engagement with the Lan family''s daughter? ! He didn''t even understand what was going on in his son''s mind! Only Xiaobai on the side heard Xu Shan''s words. After a short period of doubt, Xiaobai suddenly frowned¡ª It is impossible for Gu Cheng to do inconsistent things, first to cancel the engagement, and then to pursue it. So at this time, the ''daughter'' that Xu Shan was talking about was not Lan Xinya at all! Apart from Lan Xinya, the only other daughter of the Lan family is Lan Shu, so his brother wants to pursue sister Lan? Thinking of this, Xiaobai frowned. The wild assumption he had imagined before seems to have come true at this moment¡ª At that time, he felt that if Sister Lan and Lan Xinya hadn''t been wronged since they were young, his brother might get engaged to Sister Lan. And now, things seem to be going in this direction¡ª Thinking of this, Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu with a serious expression. "Sister Lan, you won''t agree to him, will you?" Aside, Gu Anguo heard what his youngest son said without beginning or end, and suddenly realized what Xu Shan said just now! He suddenly looked at the girl beside Xu Shan¡ª Gu Anguo has to admit that the biological daughter of the Lan family is indeed beautiful and capable. I heard that she runs a large-scale factory in Qingyang County. But even so, Gu Anguo never thought that one day his eldest son would abandon his intended engagement partner and suddenly pursue a girl whom he only met once or twice! If this girl was someone else, Gu Anguo could still accept it a little bit. He felt that the eldest son had money and started to play tricks. But this girl is a family member of the person my eldest son was almost engaged to before! Gu Cheng''s approach is simply too unethical! How does this make the adopted daughter of the Lan family, the biological daughter of the Lan family, and the parents of the Lan family think? His son is an asshole! (end of this chapter) Chapter 110: ugly refusal Chapter 110 Ugly rejection On the opposite side, Xu Shan saw Gu Anguo''s complexion changed again and again, and finally frowned, clenching his molars in anger, Xu Shan felt a little better. It seems that the Gu family also thinks that Gu Cheng''s behavior is not kind! In this way, Xu Shan is relieved. When Lan Shu was asked by Xiao Bai, she tapped her chin and replied, "Of course, don''t worry, my vision is not that bad." Lan Shu didn''t betray anyone at all, and in front of Gu Anguo, she frankly expressed her dissatisfaction and dislike for his son. After saying this, Lan Shu was still afraid that Xiaobai would be worried, so she added later, "You should know a little about my criteria for finding a partner, Ugly Rejection!" Gu Cheng¡¯s appearance can¡¯t be said to be ugly, but he and Lan Shu¡¯s aesthetics are two extremes¡ª After hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai immediately thought of the Xu Yunjie he had met in Qingyang County. Although Xu Yunjie is a little short, his face is not bad. Sister Lan really likes the little boy... But, as Xu Yunjie looks like, is he as good-looking as himself? Xiaobai pouted, expressing his disdain for Xu Yunjie in his heart. Aside, although Gu Anguo didn''t understand the specific meaning of the conversation between his youngest son and the biological daughter of the Lan family, he did know that the biological daughter of the Lan family really had no interest in his eldest son, and even felt disgusted... That''s it... just fine. It''s not that he doesn''t want his son to find someone he likes to be with, but that Gu Cheng''s behavior is really morally corrupt! Even his own father doesn''t support Gu Cheng''s actions! Seeing that Gu Anguo understood what she meant, Xu Shan looked at Gu Anguo and continued. "Although my family Shushu''s words are a bit unpleasant, her decision is my opinion." "Although our family background is not high, not everyone can be bullied. He, Gu Cheng, has already bullied one daughter of my family, and still wants to miss my other daughter? I will never agree to such a thing!" Xu Shan, a good wife and mother who seems to be weak on weekdays, suddenly becomes strong and brave when facing her children! Even in front of the great leader Gu Anguo, Xu Shan dared to speak her mind. A mother is strong, this idiom is vividly embodied by Xu Shan at this time¡ª Even Lan Shu couldn''t help applauding her mother in her heart. And what Xu Shan said was just heard clearly by Lan Xinya who came back from the outside. Hearing that her mother expressed the absolutely impossible meaning between herself and Gu Cheng in front of Gu Cheng''s father, Lan Xinya immediately walked into her living room! She just came back with a sullen face, and now she was emotionally tense. She didn''t have time to manage her expression for a while, and she came to Gu Anguo with a look of anger at her mother''s decision¡ª "Uncle Gu, that''s not the case! Don''t listen to my mother, I... Gu Cheng just couldn''t think about it for a while and was confused, so he canceled the engagement banquet between us. I will give him a chance, wait for him Figured out¡­" Lan Xinya didn''t finish her words when she was interrupted by Xu Shan! "Xinya! Do you know what you are talking about now?!" Xu Shan looked at her daughter raised by herself in disbelief, she even felt a strange feeling¡ª Her daughter would say something like that? Confused? Does Xinya mean that Shushu confused Gu Cheng? ! Besides, Xinya still doesn''t give up after being dumped by a man, and she still has to wait for that man to change his mind? Is this still her daughter? ! How could she raise such a daughter with no self-respect! Lan Xinya knew that what she said would make her mother angry, but this matter related to where she could go in the future and which class she could be in, so Lan Xinya felt that even if it made her mother unhappy, she would still say it! She wants to convey her thoughts to Gu Cheng''s father! She hopes that her deep affection for Gu Cheng can move Gu Cheng''s family¡ª Maybe Gu Cheng will listen to his father and choose himself again... Actually, before this, Lan Xinya was not so eager to hope that she and Gu Cheng could reconcile. But the words of the old neighbors in the compound just now really hurt her! The canceled engagement banquet between Gu Cheng and her made her unable to let go! There is only one way to counteract those people''s behind-the-scenes discussions, that is, she and Gu Cheng get back together again! Not just getting engaged, but even stepping into the wedding hall! ¡ª Gu Anguo was not as moved as Lan Xinya thought when he heard what the adopted daughter of the Lan family said. Before, Gu Anguo had a good impression of the adopted daughter of the Lan family. I think my son''s girlfriend is gentle and kind, and looks quite virtuous. But now, this Lan Xinya really has no temper, even a little self-love... Gu Anguo has thought about it in another way. If his daughter is being bullied like this, then it is definitely impossible for him to let his daughter be nice to the other party again! But what Lan Xinya did is really chilling the elders¡ª Regarding this, Gu Anguo just thought in his heart, and did not say these words out. But the way he looked at Lan Xinya no longer had the feeling that it was a pity that she didn''t become part of his family. Regarding Lan Xinya''s statement, Gu Anguo did not give an immediate reply. Because he knew that this matter was not just a few words from Lan Xinya, but also depended on her family''s attitude and whether his eldest son would really change his mind. Gu Anguo just nodded and said, "I see." Afterwards, he turned his attention back to Lan Shu, the biological daughter of the Lan family. "I''m sorry for Gu Cheng''s behavior, I..." "Mr. Gu, please sit down first, I don''t care about this matter." Lan Shu felt that she was too tired to raise her head and talk to Xiaobai''s father! After Gu Anguo heard what she said and sat down on the sofa again, Lan Shu continued. "No matter what Gu Cheng thinks or says, I don''t care." "You should understand that no matter how much irrelevant people say, it''s all nonsense! I won''t take it to heart." Lan Shu''s frank statement gave Gu Anguo a new understanding of this girl. How great would it be if a girl like this could become their family member? Unfortunately, as far as his elder son Gu Cheng''s virtue is concerned, he is not worthy! And such a nice girl is already married... Otherwise he has another son. Gu Anguo didn''t dislike Lan Shu for being married, but felt that his youngest son would definitely not accept a married woman. Thinking of this, Gu Anguo even turned his head to look at the youngest son beside him. It would be great if this little son was a few years older and more mature... Mature enough to have the level of thinking of him and his wife, regardless of whether the other party has ever been married. It''s a pity that the youngest son is not only young, but also obsessed with going to school. He is not a good object for any girl to entrust for life. ''Alas~'' Gu Anguo sighed. His two sons really don''t let him worry about any of them! (end of this chapter) Chapter 111: New Years goods Chapter 111 New Year''s goods Gu Anguo didn''t stay in Lan''s house for long. Before Lan Weicheng came back, he had already left the Lan family with his youngest son. They didn''t come empty-handed. Driver Feng followed behind and brought in a lot of gifts as a token of apology from the Gu family to the Lan family. Originally Xu Shan would not accept these things, but Gu Anguo said that this compensation is an apology to their two daughters. So Xu Shan reluctantly nodded in agreement after hesitating. Lan Shu wasn''t very interested in receiving gifts, but she heard Xiao Bai whisper to her that there was a bag of walnuts in the gift, which he took from home specially. The walnuts had thin skins and tasted delicious and crunchy. Lan Shu gladly accepted what Xiaobai specially prepared for her. In fact, Lan Shu really likes to eat nuts, but since she came to this era, she has never had a chance to eat them. After the Gu family left, Lan Shu immediately dug out the walnuts from a pile of presents, cracked open a few and tasted them. Besides, Lan Xinya saw Lan Shu looking at the gifts immediately after the guests left, and felt disgusted! What if Lan Shu opened a factory in the county? People who grew up in the countryside, no matter how capable they are, they can''t hide their petty spirit! This kind of behavior seems to have never seen the world! Just thinking about a little gift like this makes her look down on her! Lan Xinya didn''t care about the gift, but went upstairs directly. Lan Shu took a plate from the kitchen, knocked out a plate of walnuts. Then she said to Xu Shan, "Mom, it''s twenty-eight tomorrow, it''s time to make noodles and steam buns, let''s steam some walnut buns by the way~" Xu Shan didn''t know what a walnut bun was. After asking her daughter in detail, Xu Shan nodded when she learned that it was a sweet bun. "Okay, whatever Shushu likes to eat, mom will cook for you~" Xu Shan smiled. Lan Shu naturally wouldn''t let Xu Shan be busy alone. Although she doesn''t work on weekdays, it''s not like she doesn''t know how to work. And during the Chinese New Year, we must eat and drink well. She doesn''t know how Xu Shan''s craftsmanship is, but she has absolute confidence in her own craftsmanship! When it¡¯s time for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, in order to have as much fun as possible, Lan Shu decides to do the cooking herself~ ¡­ Twelfth lunar month twenty-seventh afternoon. Lan Shu went out with Xu Shan. Chinese New Year is coming soon, because there have been a lot of messy things recently, and her family has not had time to purchase New Year''s goods. Now she is free, so she asked Xu Shan to go out together. Originally, Xu Shan also planned to call her other daughter, but Lan Xinya refused. Now Lan Xinya is very resistant to showing her face in public. Not to mention going out to shop, she doesn''t even plan to go out during the Chinese New Year! Lan Xinya didn''t leave the house, so Xu Shan and Lan Shu had to live as a mother and daughter. The two went from the shopping mall to the vegetable market. After some shopping, they got all the clothes and New Year''s goods ready! After lunch, the two of them went out empty-handed. When they came back at night, they had so many bags that they almost couldn''t take them down. Fortunately, Xu Shan is not usually a weak woman, and Lan Shu is not a delicate lady who can''t lift her hands, so the two of them were able to bring back so many things. After a busy day, Lan Weicheng, who came back from the counter of the shopping mall, was surprised and sighed when he saw his wife and daughter''s "results" of the day. In the past, he would wait until the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to do the New Year''s goods, but now, with Shushu here, he directly propped up the house~! Lan Weicheng sincerely felt that his biological daughter is really capable! ¡­ On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lan Weicheng didn''t go to the counter in the mall, but stayed at home and started preparing for the New Year. During the Chinese New Year, it is indispensable to eat croquettes, fried crispy meat, fried lotus root, fried chicken nuggets, and fried fish nuggets. In addition to these, Lan Shu also suggested frying some tofu, mushrooms, and chili rings. At home, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan are divided into two jobs, one frying and the other steaming buns. Lan Shu fought from both sides. Steaming things during the Chinese New Year is not in the kitchen. Basically, every family moves a wood-burning stove and uses a large steamer in the yard to steam. The buns steamed with firewood are more delicious, and a large pot can steam a lot without wasting gas. Busy all morning, at noon, the steamed buns have been steamed in a pot, and most of the fried New Year''s goods have been fried out of the pot! Neighbors around smelled the fragrance wafting from the courtyard of Lan''s house, and many of them were envious. Most of their families have just passed the line of food and clothing, while the Lan family has directly become rich and their lives are nourished. I''ve seen it all over the compound, and there aren''t many houses like the Lan''s who fry all kinds of big fish and meat all morning. At noon, when Lan Xinya went downstairs to eat, she saw her parents chatting and laughing with their biological daughter, their relationship was harmonious, she suddenly felt as if she was an outsider¡ª Obviously she grew up in this family, and Lan Shu has only been here for a few days, and she has almost taken her place in this family... ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu used her home phone to call Gu''s family. She asked Xiaobai to come and bring some fried goods back to eat. Before the phone call, Lan Shu had already told Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan about this matter, and after getting their consent, she went to contact Xiao Bai. Lan Shu did this not because she wanted to make friends with the Gu family, but because she had delicious food, so she didn''t forget to share some with Xiaobai. Sister Lan''s call, Xiaobai acted quickly. The phone hung up here, and within an hour, Xiao Bai came to the door carrying a bag of apples and a bag of persimmons! Although Sister Lan is there, she is getting things from Lan''s house after all, and Xiaobai doesn''t forget to return the gift. Although Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan didn''t see the youngest son of the Gu family very often, every time they saw him, they had a good impression of this young man. Especially knowing that the youngest son of the Gu family has a good relationship with their biological daughter, so even if they have great opinions on the eldest son of the Gu family! But he didn''t take too much anger on the other members of the Gu family because of this. Lan Shu found a clean basin, and picked up some fried goods of every kind from Lan Weicheng''s big bowl of fried goods. Find a small bamboo basket, put a layer of steaming cloth on it, and pick up some walnut bags that have just been cooked for Xiaobai. Every family is busy during the Chinese New Year. Xiaobai knew that staying in Lan''s house would definitely delay Lan''s continued preparations for the New Year, so he didn''t stay long after he came to pick up his things, and went home. Lan House, second floor. Lan Xinya just heard movement in her yard, she immediately stretched her neck and looked downstairs through the window. Not long after, she saw Gu Cheng''s younger brother leaving with a small pot of their family''s Chinese New Year fried goods. Lan Xinya frowned when she saw this, and was suddenly angry. She felt that Lan Shu would really make a face out of their things! Why does Lan Shu give away the things prepared at home to others? Does she have the qualifications? Parents let her do this, don''t care about it at all? Lan Xinya couldn''t take it any longer, so she went downstairs in a ''pick, push, push'', and sat in the living room, waiting for Lan Shu to send her away before returning. (end of this chapter) Chapter 112: Fight for yourself! Chapter 112 Fight for yourself! Lan Shu''s side, she had just sent Xiao Bai to the car, and when she came back, she saw Lan Xinya, who hadn''t seen much in the past two days, sitting downstairs, staring at herself with a cold face. This inexplicable feeling of being looked at by others. Lan Shu:? Immediately afterwards, she heard Lan Xinya say, "You spend a lot of money, giving away things from home to others!" When Lan Xinya opened her mouth, she was full of sarcasm and complaints. She didn''t speak loudly, she just said to Lan Shu, and didn''t intend to let Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, who were busy in the kitchen and yard at this time, know. Lan Xinya felt that this was a matter between her and Lan Shu. If Lan Shu really yelled loudly and complained to her parents if she ignored it, that would be too tasteless! Lan Shu just glanced at Lan Xinya, and replied her a few words, "None of your business!" She and Lan Xinya are destined to have no way to live in harmony. When Lan Xinya, the heroine, played tricks on her and dug holes for her, in Lan Shu''s eyes, they were already torn apart! So she doesn''t need to be polite to Lan Xinya! ¡ª Lan Xinya never thought that Lan Shu would not explain or argue. Lan Shu''s light words choked her hard, making her speechless. But Lan Xinya quickly realized, "Aren''t I right? You are so embarrassed to give others things from home without authorization?" "Why am I embarrassed?" Lan Shu sneered, "Hehe~". "Let''s not say that I am the biological daughter of this family, and then I paid for the money for the New Year''s goods. Why can''t I give the things I bought to my friends?" "If you want to say I''m sorry, let me ask you, based on your attitude when talking to me now, are you embarrassed to eat what I bought during the Chinese New Year?" As Lan Shu spoke, not only did she make sense in every sentence, but she even took Lan Xinya into her army! Lan Xinya was really stunned by Lan Shu''s words¡ª "You!" She suddenly felt that Lan Shu was really shameless! Obviously the family also has the money to buy new year''s goods, but she rushed to buy them herself, and deliberately said it out after buying it, deliberately being mean to herself! "If you don''t eat, don''t eat! I don''t believe it. Without the things you bought, I can''t live this year?" Lan Xinya said with anger. "Okay, then I''ll wait and see~" Lan Shu finished speaking and went straight into the kitchen. At this moment, Lan Weicheng''s bombing has reached the final stage, and she finally went over to help and finish the matter quickly. That night, when the Lan family was eating at the dining table, both Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan found that Xinya only drank porridge and steamed buns. As for the savory crispy meatball bowls, chicken nuggets and lotus root bowls, and fish nuggets bowls on the table, they didn¡¯t move at all! Shu Shu also specially fried mushrooms and chili rings, sprinkled some cumin powder, and put the burnt and savory fresh fried goods in front of her eyes, but Xinya was unmoved, as if she couldn''t see them at all. "Xinya, try this meatball. The filling is made by Shushu herself. In addition to tofu and meat, there is also minced lotus root in it. It tastes very different from the past!" Lan Weicheng highly recommends it. It''s the first time he has eaten meatballs with minced meat and lotus root. In the past, what he ate was flour, tofu, soybean sprouts, and some shredded radish. He has had enough of that kind of meatballs, but now the meatballs made by his own daughter are really delicious! Xu Shan also recommended, "Xinya, try this flour-coated fried mushroom, it tastes better than meat!" ¡°This flour-coated fried chili ring is also very good. It is crispy and spicy. This is the first time I have eaten this kind of chili. It is so delicious that I can eat two bowls with rice!¡± Compared to meat, Xu Shan prefers to be vegetarian, but this kind of vegetarian food is really far beyond her likeness! Lan Xinya listened to her parents'' strong recommendation, she endured it for a while, and then replied, "I have no appetite." After finishing speaking, she lowered her head hard, trying not to see what was on the table. She said that if you don¡¯t eat, you don¡¯t eat! She wants to win for herself! As for the steamed buns and porridge, they were all made from rice and noodles at home, and they were not paid for by Lan Shu, so she ate them with peace of mind. Hearing what the adopted daughter said, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had no choice. I just feel that Xinya may still be sad about her engagement being canceled. So the two of them didn''t dare to persuade them anymore, for fear of bringing up Xinya''s sad things. Seeing Xinya eat a mouthful of porridge and a steamed bun, absent-mindedly eating, the husband and wife sighed. After sighing, the two turned their grief and anger into appetite, and they ate more! And Lan Xinya looked at the family at the dining table full of oily mouths, and she just cleared the porridge and steamed buns by herself, which was tasteless, and Lan Xinya felt really aggrieved¡ª After eating, Lan Xinya put down her chopsticks, raised her head and glared at Lan Shu. There was a bit of complacency in those eyes, as if to say, ''Look, I won''t eat if I say I won''t eat it! '' Lan Shu saw Lan Xinya''s appearance, raised the corner of Yang''s mouth, and silently popped out a word, silly X. For Lan Xinya who would rather torture herself than insist on those meaningless proofs, she actually doesn''t care. Lan Xinya is willing to persevere, so just persevere~ Anyway, seeing her eat plain rice to the point of rolling her eyes, I am quite happy. Aside, Lan Xinya found that Lan Shu didn''t seem to be aware of her persistence, and she immediately felt angry in her heart! So she snorted coldly, turned her head and went upstairs. Before the dining table, because Lan Xinya didn''t eat a single bite of food, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan ate until they were full in order not to let the food remain. Lan Weicheng rubbed his propped up stomach, and sighed involuntarily, "Delicious is delicious, but eating too much makes you uncomfortable." "Then I will put less on steaming bowls tomorrow." Xu Shan suggested, "Looking at Xinya''s current state, I guess I won''t be able to eat for a few days~" Hearing Xu Shan''s words, Lan Shu nodded immediately, "I guess she probably won''t be able to eat much during the Chinese New Year." After hearing what their daughter said, Lan Weicheng and his wife didn''t think much about it. Judging from Xinya''s state tonight, perhaps this will indeed be the case. "Then... I will order less food these days." Xu Shan said. In the next two days, as Lan Shu said, Lan Xinya didn''t care about the dishes on the table at all. Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng''s persuasion failed, so they had to give up. ¡­ On the other side, the Gu family. Today is New Year''s Eve, a day for every family to reunite. Gu Anguo did not go back to his hometown for the New Year this year, and he plans to go back after the new year. On New Year''s Eve, he and his wife took their youngest son to his father-in-law''s house. As for the eldest son, perhaps because he is afraid of being scolded, Gu Anguo has not called Gu Cheng so far. The Wei family lives in the compound in District J, which is not in the same system as their compound in District Z, and the secrecy is higher. Generally, outsiders who come to visit the courtyard want to enter the gate, they must report in advance, and their identity can only be entered after being verified. And Wei Qiushuang was born and raised here since she was a child, and her appearance is an invisible passport, unimpeded all the way. (end of this chapter) Chapter 113: cook by yourself Chapter 113 Cooking by myself Although the Wei family''s position in the courtyard is very important, the house allocated is actually not as big as the Gu family''s. Although they are all two-story small buildings, there are few rooms. There are four rooms upstairs and downstairs. As Mr. Wei, he can definitely live in a better house. But he and his wife have lived in this house for decades, and they are used to it. The old couple also felt affection for this house, and they never considered moving at all. Fortunately, although the house is not big, there are everything in it, including a gas stove, refrigerator, washing machine, and TV. Wei Qiushuang didn''t even need to buy these things. As Mr. Wei, when these things were just produced, the public had already prepared them for an old leader like him. Today, the courtyard door of the small Wei family building was opened early in the morning. No other reason, Wei Jin knew that his daughter and son-in-law would come. The most important thing is that the two will bring his little grandson Gu Jue~! Thinking of that kid Gu Jue, Wei Jin couldn''t help but sigh. He has no son, only one daughter, Wei Qiushuang, who has been spoiled since childhood and has not suffered much, so after growing up, he rebelliously married a second-married man with children. It''s not that Wei Jin doesn''t like Gu Anguo, nor is it that Wei Jin is afraid that his daughter will remarry and someone will gossip about his family. It''s his beloved baby daughter, and naturally hopes to marry better. Later, because of Gu Anguo''s sincerity to his daughter, Wei Jin was relieved. Afterwards, his daughter gave birth to a fat boy, which made Wei Jin very happy. He doesn¡¯t have a son, but he has a grandson, so he has a successor¡ª What made Wei Jin even more happy was that his little grandson Gu Jue was recognized by him as a good candidate for joining the army when he was four or five years old! Gu Jue has a strong physique since he was a child. He is a fat boy, tall and strong. He is a block away from those children of the same age! So when the little grandson Gu Jue grew up a little bit, Wei Jin took Gu Jue to his side and gave him a little more exercise. Wei Jin intends to train his grandson to be his successor. After years of training, it turns out that his little grandson Gu Jue is indeed the material! Although he is not yet an adult, his physical fitness is no worse than some veterans in the army! Wei Jin originally thought that it would go on like this, and when Gu Jue got into the military academy, he would go on the same path as him. But who knew that Gu Jue was just leaving the army to take a vacation. Not long after, he suddenly received news that his little grandson Gu Jue was missing! In order to find out the whereabouts of his little grandson, Wei Jin entrusted all kinds of relationships to ask for help, but they found nothing. Just when Wei Jin thought he would never see his little grandson again, and was very sad about it, he received a call from his daughter, saying that his little grandson Gu Jue had returned! But lost memory... Wei Jin went to see his little grandson for the first time, but was unilaterally informed by the little grandson that he would not go to the army with him, nor would he take the military academy exam. He had to study hard and study medicine! Wei Jin immediately slapped the table, thinking that the little grandson''s naive thoughts are simply a waste of talent! However, he also understands the reason why his little grandson lost his memory, so he said such irrational words. After that, Wei Jin went to see his grandson several times, but every time he saw his grandson holding medical books and reading them seriously. Such a scene made Wei Jin angry when he saw it! But today is New Year''s Eve, so his little grandson can''t continue reading, right? So Wei Jin is still looking forward to seeing his little grandson. After breakfast, Wei Jin began to wait, until after ten o''clock, he waited for someone. Xiaobai didn''t come empty-handed. Besides the things his parents brought, he also carried two oil-paper bags, which contained the things that Sister Lan asked him to go to Lan''s house the afternoon before yesterday. There are fried goods and some walnut buns. He ate some at home at noon yesterday and thought it was delicious, especially the walnut buns, which tasted very special, so Xiaobai brought these over for his grandpa and grandma to taste. After all, Xiaobai already had memories of before the age of twelve or thirteen. He clearly remembered how kind his grandfather and grandmother were to him when he was young. Moreover, he is destined to not be able to satisfy his grandfather with the expectations that his grandfather placed on him. That''s why he wants to be better for his grandfather as much as possible, to make up for his grandfather. At Wei''s house, Wei Qiushuang took her husband and son back to her natal home, only to see her father at home. She immediately guessed, "Mom went to the art performance again?" Today is New Year''s Eve, and her mother Li Qi, as an art soldier, has long been out of the stage, but has moved behind the scenes as a program reviewer and professional judge. Usually during New Year¡¯s Eve, when others are on holiday, her mother is very busy. Wei Qiushuang is used to this. When asked by his daughter, Wei Jin nodded in response, "Yes~ But it''s not far away, so I can catch up for lunch at noon." As soon as Xiaobai heard that he was eating, he immediately took the things he brought into the kitchen. He said while walking, "Sit down, I will cook at noon." Hearing what the little grandson said, Wei Jin was slightly taken aback¡ª He wondered, when did Gu Jue be so proactive about entering the kitchen? When he was in the army, cooking was a necessary skill for every soldier. He didn''t remember that Gu Jue was interested in cooking, nor did he remember that Gu Jue could cook any delicious food. At this time, seeing the little grandson take the initiative to take over the cooking, the daughter has no objection? Wei Jin was very surprised! Wei Qiushuang has seen his son cook, so he is not surprised by it. Gu Anguo hasn''t eaten anything made by his son yet, so he''s looking forward to it. While waiting for lunch, Li Qi just came back from work. She was very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law. Knowing that the little grandson was cooking at noon today, Li Qi immediately walked into the kitchen with a worried face to check the situation. At this moment, she happened to see her little grandson Gu Jue bring out the things he made and put them on the table one by one. Xiaobai prepared lunch for everyone today. In addition to chicken nuggets, fish nuggets, and lotus root bowls, he also made a braised pork, a sweet and sour fish, a hot and sour cabbage, and two soups, one salty and one sweet. Finally, heat the dried fried mushrooms and fried chili rings in the oil pan. This is what Sister Lan told him when he went to Lan''s house to pick up things. Mushrooms and chili rings must be heated with oil to be delicious. Five people and a large table of dishes can be considered very rich. Wei Jin looked at the things made by his grandson on the table, and was really surprised! Although he knew that Gu Jue could cook, he didn''t know that Gu Jue could cook big dishes like braised pork and sweet and sour fish! ? The two soups are rice wine egg drop soup and hot and sour pork slice soup. They also look decent from the color and luster. Gu Anguo was also surprised. It turns out that what the wife said before is true. During the time when the youngest son lost his memory and disappeared, he also learned how to cook? And being able to make such a big meat dish shows that my son eats pretty well at the Lan¡¯s house in Qingyang County~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 114: Gu Cheng is here Chapter 114 Here Comes Gu Cheng After a table of dishes was served, Xiao Bai went to the kitchen again and brought out a plate of pale yellow walnut buns. The walnut buns are only about half the size of an egg. They have been heated in a steamer over water, and they look as soft and lovely as when they were just out of the pan. It was the first time for Wei Jin and Li Qi to see such a small steamed bun. For a rough man like Wei Jin who has lived in the barracks for decades, he can''t see a small mantou. He just glanced at it lightly, and immediately commented, "One mouthful is not enough, it''s flashy." Li Qi had a different idea. After washing her hands, she picked up a steamed bun, put it to her mouth, took a bite and chewed. "This steamed bun is actually filled with stuffing!" It looks like a small steamed bun on the outside, but it is actually a small bun, and they are all sweet buns. Li Qi looked at the stuffing in the small bun in his hand, "Walnut kernels, raisins, and maltose powder should be added to the flour, delicious!" She felt that this steamed bun could be eaten as a snack. Hearing his wife said it was delicious, Wei Jin became interested. He picked up the worthless stuffed steamed bun that he had just criticized, put it in his mouth and chewed it. The steamed buns are sweet, with sweet and sour raisins and nuts added inside. Although Wei Jin didn''t directly praise the delicious food, he nodded. Even if he doesn''t have a preference for sweet things, people who have come from a hard life can feel good when they can eat sweet things. As for the other dishes on the table, after Wei Jin and Li Qi tasted them one by one, they first expressed high praise for their grandson''s cooking skills, and then expressed their novelty and deliciousness to the meatballs and fried mushrooms. What Wei Jin likes most is fried chili rings, which are crispy and spicy, which makes him full of praise! During this meal, the smiles on the faces of Wei Jin and Li Qi never stopped. After dinner, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang cleaned up the tableware, Xiaobai made tea for grandpa and fruit tea for grandma. It was Li Qi''s first time to drink fruit tea, and she was really new to this thing. At the same time, she was very happy because of her little grandson''s carefulness. Li Qi found that after the little grandson lost his memory, he was more considerate than before~ The three of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. When the atmosphere was harmonious, they would inevitably talk about Xiaobai''s life after amnesia. Although Wei Jin and Li Qi knew that their grandson lost his memory, they were taken in by a family in a surrounding village in Qingyang County. But the life I lived in that family is really unclear. I just heard from my daughter that Gu Jue didn''t suffer much there. When asked now, Xiaobai had nothing to hide, and immediately picked up a few things about his situation in the Lan''s house in Tianshui Village and Qingyang County. In the words of their grandson, Wei Jin and Li Qi frequently heard a name¡ªLan Shu. The two of them lived to this age, and they already had the ability to judge people. Obviously, the grandson said that Lan Shu cooked him delicious food and treated him very well. He took him to the county seat, bought him clothes, and supported him to take the exam. diploma. During the whole process, the little grandson had a smile in his eyes when he spoke. Their little grandson must have a crush on that girl! After that, Xiaobai said that after he returned to Kyoto, he invested in the factory, and Lan Shu relied on his own ability to slowly take the position of factory director. Two days ago, the factory paid dividends, and he received more than 20,000 yuan. "How much?!" Wei Jin couldn''t believe it when he heard the number. The little grandson invested 50,000 yuan, and can earn more than 20,000 yuan in three or four months? Li Qi was also very surprised, so surprised that she felt that she had heard it wrong? But soon, the two got the exact answer from their little grandson¡ª¡ª "It''s more than 20,000 yuan. The money has been transferred to my account. The factory is still in the development stage, so this year''s dividend is a little less. Lan Shu said that next year''s dividend will only be more!" Xiaobai believes in this statement. At the same time, when he mentioned Lan Shu in front of his grandparents, he even felt a sense of pride. Usually, in front of Lanshu, Xiaobai would call her Sister Lan, but in front of grandpa and grandma, he somehow didn''t want to call her sister. Hearing this, Wei Jin and Li Qi finally believed what their little grandson said. "I really didn''t expect it to be so profitable in business! No wonder your brother quit the job that your mother entrusted him with a relationship introduction, and ran to start a company to do business." Wei Jin suddenly mentioned Gu Cheng. Although Gu Cheng is not his own grandson, Wei Jin has never regarded that child as an outsider in the past ten years. It''s just that the child has been very preoccupied since he was a child, and he couldn''t get close to them, so gradually, the relationship between them became estranged. Not long ago I heard that Gu Cheng was getting engaged, and Wei Jin and Li Qi planned to ask their daughter to give them a little gift to celebrate the child. But who would have thought that there was another news two days ago that the engagement banquet was cancelled¡ª Although the old couple didn¡¯t know exactly what happened, they also felt that it was a pity that a good marriage was so dirty~ Originally they planned to wait until the Chinese New Year, when Gu Cheng came to the house for a reunion dinner, and asked about the situation, but this year Gu Cheng did not come. Here, while several people were talking, the phone on the side of the living room suddenly rang. Wei Jin didn''t move, Li Qi went to answer the phone. After listening to the voice on the phone, Li Qi replied, "Let him in." Hung up the phone, Li Qi looked at his old man and grandson, and said, "Gu Cheng is here." Don''t come during lunch time, and only show up after lunch time. Gu Cheng''s behavior is really puzzling. Wei Qiushuang came out of the kitchen just in time to hear her mother''s words. Wei Qiushuang didn''t say anything, but she guessed in her heart that maybe Gu Cheng didn''t want to see the harmonious atmosphere of their family sitting together for dinner. Wei Qiushuang could always see that Gu Cheng did not treat himself and them as a family. Although that kind of estrangement is usually not obvious, when the family is reunited, she will always see Gu Cheng in a daze and his displeasure. With Li Qi''s consent, Gu Cheng''s car was quickly let go at the gate of the courtyard in J District. Gu Cheng drove his newly bought car all the way to the entrance of the small building of Wei''s House. He drove over by himself, took the gift from the trunk, and walked into Wei''s house. It was similar to Wei Qiushuang''s guess, he really didn''t want to feel the atmosphere of Wei''s family reunion. And he came after dinner, just to give gifts. In any case, having relatives like the Wei family can help him virtually. He has to maintain this relationship between relatives no matter what, and he can''t break the relationship. Gu Cheng came today and brought a lot of gifts. The company''s new electric heater is very practical in the severe winter. In addition, he also brought some canned food, fruit, and meat. Gu Cheng bought all the things that were available in the market, suitable for gift giving, and expensive. He feels that there is nothing wrong with giving expensive gifts. (end of this chapter) Chapter 115: I want to pursue her too Chapter 115 I want to pursue her too The Wei family, Wei Jin and Li Qi were not as happy as Gu Cheng expected when they saw the pile of gifts brought by Gu Cheng. The old couple looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. True family affection is definitely not about how many gifts the other party brings to the house, but about the degree of care. For example, their little grandson Gu Jue, although he only brought some Chinese New Year fried goods and sweet buns, Wei Jin and Li Qi ate very well. For example, the few rolls of toilet paper sent by their daughter Wei Qiushuang a few days ago, although they are not worth anything, they are very practical and make them feel caring in their hearts. As for Gu Chenglai, the canned food that Gu Chenglai brought was as many as they had in their army. During his decades of military career, Wei Jin had dealt with canned food a lot, and he was even tired of the taste of canned food... But Gu Cheng was able to come, so the two didn''t care what he brought. Li Qi accepted the things kindly and let Gu Cheng sit down. In the living room of the Wei family, the original harmonious atmosphere seemed to disappear naturally after Gu Cheng appeared. Gu Cheng sat down on a chair beside him, and said hello to the elders dryly. As usual, he would ask about the health of the elders every time, and then mentioned the electric heater he brought today. "This kind of electric heater is a new model of our company. Although it is not as expensive as washing machines and refrigerators, it is not cheap. There are many people who buy it in winter. I think the company will not provide you with these small appliances, so I brought them. come over." Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, Li Qi felt that if Gu Cheng didn''t mention any new styles and prices, but just said that he wanted the old couple to spend the winter warmly, they would definitely feel more cared for. After listening to Gu Cheng''s words, Wei Jin nodded, and then said, "Let''s stay for dinner tonight." "No, I have some things to do tonight." Gu Cheng immediately refused. What can you do on the night of New Year''s Eve? This is a refusal to hear. The old man listened and didn''t force himself. He nodded and replied, "Okay." A person who refuses to get along with his family from the very beginning, no matter how many years pass, this situation will not change. Gu Cheng sat in the living room of Wei''s house for a while, and then offered to leave. Wei Jin and Li Qi didn''t hold back too much, and finally asked their little grandson Gu Jue to send his brother out. ¡­ Outside the gate of the Wei family courtyard, Gu Cheng turned to look at his half-brother. Just now in front of the old man, he always felt reserved. But Gu Jue, even though he lost his memory, still has a good relationship with the two elders of the Wei family, which makes Gu Cheng envious to the point of jealousy! Gu Cheng often wonders why he is not the grandson of the Wei family! But a child born to a rural woman? Because of his background, Gu Cheng has always felt inferior. Being so humbled that he saw everything Gu Jue had, he couldn''t restrain the urge to destroy it! Xiaobai didn''t know what Gu Cheng was thinking, he just saw Gu Cheng looking at him with a gloomy expression. Seeing Gu Cheng''s appearance, Xiao Bai also kept a cold face, and there was no brotherly affection between him and Gu Cheng. "You want to pursue Lan Shu?" Xiao Bai said suddenly. His dark eyes met Gu Cheng''s and asked. When he learned about this at Lan''s house a few days ago, he was already very dissatisfied with Gu Cheng''s behavior. Although it is true that Gu Cheng is his elder brother, Xiao Bai feels that his elder brother is not worthy of Lan Shu at all. "So what?" Gu Cheng replied coldly, "This is my business, and you don''t need to take care of it." When Gu Cheng said this sentence, he was actually very irritable. He thought of what Lan Shu had said to him, and despised him for being old and average. The career and wealth he is proud of are nothing in Lan Shu''s eyes. Because she doesn''t lack what she has. Based on what Lan Shu said, when Gu Cheng saw Gu Jue at this moment, the young Gu Jue in front of him, with a high-quality appearance... Gu Cheng suddenly thought, the man Lan Shu would like is Gu Jue, right? But Gu Jue is just a kid with no hair yet! He is qualified to keep pace with a woman like Lan Shu? Gu Cheng shook his head in his heart, dispelling the idea that Gu Jue was Lan Shu''s ideal type. On the opposite side, Xiao Bai heard with his own ears that Gu Cheng said that he wanted to pursue Lan Shu, and he immediately became upset! Even if Lan Shu said that she absolutely despised Gu Cheng, Xiao Bai was not at ease. In his memory, Gu Cheng was a character who would never give up until he achieved his goal. He wondered if Lan Shu could persevere to the end under Gu Cheng''s pursuit? Xiaobai wanted to make Gu Cheng give up, but just like what Gu Cheng said, this was his business and he couldn''t control it. At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly felt that his position was a bit weak, and that he was really not qualified to stop others from pursuing Lan Shu. Xiao Bai frowned, and he even thought about whether he was really meddling in his thoughts? Will it even affect Lan Shu''s ability to find her other half and lead to happiness? But¡­ Does Lan Shu have to be with other men to be happy? What if it¡¯s with yourself? Xiaobai suddenly had a bold idea! Why should I watch others pursue Lan Shu? If he could become the man next to Lan Shu, wouldn''t all this be resolved? Since Lan Shu liked Xu Yunjie''s handsome face before, isn''t her face prettier than Xu Yunjie''s? Xiaobai is very confident in his appearance! Thinking of this, Xiao Bai finally stretched his brows. He thinks, this is actually a good idea... So Xiaobai looked at Gu Cheng seriously, "The fact that you want to pursue Lan Shu is not just your business in the future, because I also want to pursue her." Hearing what Gu Jue said, Gu Cheng''s eyes widened in surprise! He looked at his younger brother in disbelief, then sneered, "It''s up to you?" "Do you think Lan Shu would like someone like you, who is a few years younger than her and has no career or ability?" In fact, Gu Cheng felt a little guilty when he said this sentence. He was not sure whether Lan Shu would like Gu Jue. But in Gu Cheng''s view, his younger brother is still young, so he can''t be alone and can''t give women a sense of security. If Gu Jue was a few years older, and followed the path Wei Qiushuang had arranged for him, he might still be eligible to compete with him for a woman. But now, he doesn''t see Gu Jue at all! Listening to Gu Cheng''s words, Xiaobai was slightly shocked. In fact, he also felt that it would be great if he could be more mature... In that way, facing Gu Cheng''s questioning by himself, he would be more confident. Unfortunately, age is not something he can choose. But he can decide who to pursue! Xiaobai looked at Gu Cheng with a serious tone, "Yes, it''s up to me!" He didn''t know if Lan Shu liked someone younger than her, but he didn''t think age was a problem. As for career, he doesn¡¯t have one now, but it doesn¡¯t mean he won¡¯t have one in the future! PS: Right now, Xiaobai doesn''t like Lan Shu, but just has affection and possessiveness. In the future, he will gradually know what he likes. (end of this chapter) Chapter 116: You are not worthy! Chapter 116 You are not worthy! Gu Cheng could see that Gu Jue was serious, and Gu Jue was not just talking. This made Gu Cheng frown¡ª "Gu Jue, are you crazy? Do you think your mother will allow you to pursue a woman who is older than you and has been divorced?" In Gu Cheng''s view, if Wei Qiushuang can arrange Gu Jue''s future career development direction, he will definitely arrange what kind of woman can marry her son. Gu Cheng feels that in a few years, Wei Qiushuang will introduce Gu Jue to some famous daughters who are well-matched with the Wei family. In Gu Jue''s mate selection criteria, there will never be a situation like Lan Shu! Gu Chenghui thinks this way, not because he thinks Lan Shu is bad, but because Lan Shu''s age and divorced status are totally incompatible with Gu Jue! He chose Lan Shu, it was only his own choice. He is not Wei Qiushuang''s biological son, so he will not be restricted by Wei Qiushuang, and Wei Qiushuang doesn''t even bother to care about him. But Gu Jue is different. Wei Qiushuang loves Gu Jue like an eyeball! So even if Gu Jue likes Lan Shu, Wei Qiushuang will never let Gu Jue and Lan Shu be together! ¡ª Xiao Bai heard what Gu Cheng said, and he did have concerns about it. He will also be worried that his mother will not agree, but he will not compromise with anyone on what he decides! "You don''t need to worry about my affairs." Xiao Bai looked at Gu Cheng and said in a cold tone. Seeing Gu Jue''s attitude, Gu Cheng frowned, "Since you want to **** it from me, let''s see who gets it in the end!" Even if he can''t get it, with Wei Qiushuang around, it''s impossible for Gu Jue to get it! At this time, Xiao Bai couldn''t bear to listen to Gu Cheng''s words! In Gu Cheng''s tone, it seems that Lan Shu is an object up for grabs! He felt that his brother was too disrespectful to others! He looked at Gu Cheng, and said coldly, "I don''t need to fight with you, you are not worthy!" This is the first time Xiaobai has said such serious words to his brother. Even if Gu Cheng is his own brother, Gu Cheng shouldn''t disrespect him and the people he cares about so much. In Gu Cheng''s impression, this was also the first time that Gu Jue spoke to himself in such a hostile tone. The word ''unworthy'' seemed to have hit Gu Cheng''s sore spot, making his eyes gloomy! "Let''s wait and see." Gu Cheng didn''t say anything more, he gave Gu Jue a hard look, and then drove away. Xiaobai looked at Gu Cheng''s back. At this moment, he was already thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to tell his family about his thoughts. As Gu Cheng said, perhaps the attitude of his parents is his biggest obstacle. So before he officially told Lan Shu about his thoughts, he would clear away all obstacles¡ª ¡­ Different from the compound in District J, the atmosphere of the Wei family. In Kyoto, the Lan family is in harmony. Of course, except Lan Xinya. Lan Xinya still doesn''t eat much every day. Others gain three catties during Chinese New Year, but Lan Xinya''s face turns pale after eating plain rice for several days. Whether Lan Xinya likes to eat the things at home, Lan Shu doesn''t care. On New Year''s Eve, Lan Shu made several phone calls. Call the deputy factory director Zhu in Qingyang County to pay homage to the early years. I also paid New Year''s greetings to Zhang Yunjing, a friend of the Women''s Federation. The other thing is to call the head of Tianshui Village, ask someone to call the adoptive parents, and say happy new year to them. I heard from my adoptive parents that during the Chinese New Year this year, only her elder brother and third brother Lan Sibo were at home, and the second brother Lan Xiuming was too busy in the hospital to go home during the Chinese New Year. Plus she is not here, so this year, the Lan family is not as lively as in previous years. Regarding this, Lan Shu promised to go back as soon as possible after the new year, and then spare time to stay at home for a few days and spend more time with them. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t really want their daughter to be with them. They were happy to hear that their precious daughter had such a heart. Because they were calling home, Lan Shengli and his wife would inevitably ask how their biological daughter in Kyoto was doing and how her daughter was getting engaged. Lan Shu remembered that the five hundred dowry money she had brought to Lan Xinya for her parents hadn''t been handed out yet. Originally, she wanted to give it, but who knew that Lan Xinya''s engagement fell through. The marriage has not yet been decided, so naturally there is no need for a dowry. Lan Shu didn''t want to talk about this matter to spoil her parents'' mood, but it''s impossible to hide such a big matter, and they will find out sooner or later. So after hesitating, Lan Shu told the truth about the cancellation of the engagement banquet between Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng. Unexpectedly, when Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang heard that their biological daughter was not engaged, not only were they not the slightest bit sad, but they were very happy that their daughter did not step into the "fire pit" at the critical moment! "That''s fine, Xinya is not engaged yet, and she can see who she is, which is better than regretting in the future." On the phone, Chang Chunfang said with a sigh. Hearing this sentence, Lan Shu knew that her parents were reminded of her marital misfortune. "Girl, you are doing well in your career now, and you look beautiful after losing weight, and your parents are from Kyoto. If this condition is a second marriage, I believe many people will be willing to accept it." Over the phone, Chang Chunfang suddenly brought up this matter. As soon as she finished speaking, Lan Shengli received it earnestly¡ª "Living alone is never the solution. If you meet a good man who is worth entrusting, you should think about it." Lan Shu can understand that as parents, of course they don''t want their children to be alone. Finding the other half to rely on and spend the rest of your life with is what people in this era care most about. Although Lan Shu herself didn''t think about finding a partner, in order not to worry her parents, she replied on the phone, "Understood, if there is a suitable one, I will consider it." On the phone, her words reassured the adoptive parents. But outside the phone, Lan Xinya, who just went downstairs to pour some water, heard that Lan Shu already had the idea of ??finding a date. She immediately thought of Gu Cheng''s confession to Lan Shu... Could it be that Lan Shu is planning to consider Gu Cheng? At this moment, Lan Xinya couldn''t help but clenched her fists, her fingernails hurt her palm¡ª When the phone call ended, Lan Shu realized that Lan Xinya was standing not far away, looking straight at her. Those eyes are full of guard! "Didn''t you say that you look down on Gu Cheng?" Lan Xinya asked in a vigilant voice. "I don''t like it." Lan Shu nodded calmly. Afterwards, she suddenly understood the reason why Lan Xinya was guarding her. "Don''t worry, my aesthetics are not that bad, and my three views don''t allow me to see that kind of tasteless man in my eyes." Lan Shu cleared the relationship between herself and Gu Cheng with one sentence. And Lan Xinya heard Lan Shu''s evaluation of Gu Cheng. Before she had time to relax, she immediately stuffed her heart... Is the man she chose really that unbearable? Lan Xinya suddenly felt like she was desperately trying to get Lan Shu''s unwanted ''junk stuff''. Gu Chenghe... is it really worth it? Today¡¯s update is over. Tomorrow, October 6th, there will be an update of 10,000 characters. The update time is not in the early morning, and the manuscript has not been written enough, so it will be sent together at 11:30 pm on the 6th. Little cuties, remember to vote~~ Recommended tickets, monthly tickets, great efforts! (`) compare heart (end of this chapter) Chapter 117: pick up grudges Chapter 117 Finding Enmity Whether it''s worth it, Lan Xinya doesn''t know, now she can''t even get the ''junk'' that others sneer at, is there any other choice? Gu Cheng, who is still complacent about his successful career and rich financial resources, feels that compared with Gu Jue, he has a great chance of winning, but he doesn''t know that in the hearts of the two daughters of the Lan family, his existence has been linked to "raging" several times ¡ª ¡­ The thirty-first year is over, the first day of the new year, the beginning of a new year! On this day, every family will visit relatives. The Lan family is no exception. The Lan family is a native of Kyoto. Although Lan Weicheng''s parents died young, there are still other relatives. On the first day of the New Year, the couple took their daughter to visit their relatives. One was to pay New Year''s greetings, and the other was to let the relatives know their biological daughter. In previous years, Lan Xinya would accompany the whole process on this day, but this year she insisted on being absent. Years ago, she was dumped by her betrothed. Lan Xinya was afraid of being questioned by her relatives, so she had no face to go out. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan knew that Xinya was in a bad mood, so they didn''t force her. So this year, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan only brought Lan Shu there. Lan Xinya looked at the scene where her parents who raised her and Lan Shu, their biological daughter, went out as a family of three, it was really dazzling! But she couldn''t do anything except feel uncomfortable. Staying at home is also her own choice. But it won''t last long. Lan Xinya could not allow herself to hide at home all the time. She has already made a decision in her heart. After a few years, she will adjust her state, and she will definitely walk in front of others again! ¡­ When Lan Shu followed Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan on family visits, Xiaobai''s side inevitably experienced the same thing. Fortunately, Gu Anguo is a foreigner and has no relatives in the capital, so Wei Qiushuang''s family of three packed up and prepared to return to Wei''s house for the New Year just like yesterday. Here, before the three of them left the house, someone knocked on the door of their house. It was Li Xuan from Li''s family in the same compound. The first time Wei Qiushuang opened the door, she could see that Li Xuan had carefully dressed up before she came. She was wearing a water-red coat, a red scarf wrapped around the neckline, and a woolen hat of the same color on her head, showing a gentle smile. "Aunt Wei, happy new year~ I''m here to wish you a happy new year." It''s rare for others to be so caring and come to pay New Year''s greetings early in the morning, and on this day, Wei Qiushuang is also in a good mood. Seeing Li Xuan coming with a smile on her face, she also smiled back, "Happy New Year~" While the two were talking, Gu Anguo and Xiao Bai had packed up and walked out of the house. Seeing someone coming at the door, Gu Anguo took a closer look, only to find that it was a little girl from the Li family in the same compound. He heard from his wife that Miss Li might be interested in their youngest son, and now it seems that it is indeed the case. So Gu Anguo turned his head and glanced at his son, and said, "Go say hello to the little girl." People specially come to the house during the Chinese New Year. No matter what the purpose is, it is necessary to greet politely at your own home. After hearing Gu Jue''s father''s words, Li Xuan immediately felt happy! The main purpose of her coming today is to meet Gu Jue. On days like this, even if Xiao Bai was too lazy to care about others, he didn''t put on a cold face. He greeted Li Xuan patiently, and listened to Li Xuan''s set of saying hello, finding topics, and auspicious words. Finally seeing that they were really going out, Li Xuan reluctantly left. Because of this, after New Year''s greetings, Li Xuan, who was returning from Gu''s house to her own home, met neighbors in the compound along the way. Many people knew where she had gone when they saw the direction she was going back. Originally, there was a rumor in the compound that the youngest son of the Gu family was found because the daughter of the Li family had helped a lot, and the Gu family owed the girl of the Li family a favor. Now, the relationship between the two children seems to be good, maybe the two families have a destined fate? No one knows whether the Li family and the Gu family are related. But Gu Jue, as the youngest son of the Gu family and the only grandson of the Wei family, has long been missed by many people¡ª ¡­ More than half an hour later, Xiaobai came to Grandpa''s house, only to find that it was different from yesterday. There were other people visiting Grandpa''s house today. One morning, Xiaobai accompanied his grandfather to meet seven or eight guests who came to Wei''s house to pay New Year''s greetings. Among these people were Wei Jin''s former comrades-in-arms and subordinates, as well as some old neighbors who had a good relationship with the compound in J District. When they came, they didn''t come by themselves, most of them brought their children or grandchildren with them, with the idea of ??making the younger generation familiar in front of Mr. Wei. Among these people, Xiaobai met several girls who were about his age. Before the girls came, they knew that old man Wei had no son, only a grandson, and the old man put almost all his energy on his grandson. Old Master Wei''s grandson is called Gu Jue. He is tall and handsome, and he has no family background. The future is definitely promising! So Xiaobai, as the young master of the Wei family, made many girls of the same age worry about him before they even saw him. After seeing him, with his handsome appearance and tall and straight figure, the girls can''t wait to throw their hearts on him! Wei Jin sees that his little grandson is so popular, and his little grandson is not too young anymore, he will be seventeen in a few days, so he can prepare for a kiss. So the old man also acquiesced to the girls who were brought over by his old friends'' homes and were about the same age as his grandson, and went to contact Gu Jue. In the yard, four or five school-age girls who came to Wei''s house to pay New Year''s greetings tried their best to get close to Gu Jue. "Gu Jue, do you remember me? We played together when we were young." A girl wearing a festive maroon long padded jacket and looking carefree asked with a high ponytail. Xiaobai has recently passed through dreams and ''remembered'' many things from his childhood. Those experiences were recent to him, so he quickly recognized who the girl was. "I remember, when I first came to live with my grandfather, because of my popularity, many children chased me to play with me. You thought I robbed your friend, so you brought a little fat man to try to trouble me." Girl with high ponytail:? "...but you guys can''t beat me, so the villain sued first and cried in front of adults, which made me go back and be criticized by grandpa." Xiaobai finished speaking. At that time, it was the summer vacation of the second grade of elementary school, and what happened happened when he was taken to live in the compound by his grandfather. The girl with the high ponytail immediately felt embarrassed when she heard what Gu Jue said. Originally, she wanted to rely on her childhood playmates to narrow the distance between her and Gu Jue. In the end, who knew that Gu Jue remembered things from his childhood so clearly! She didn''t get closer, but she was found to have a grudge¡ª "Gu Jue, we are alumni of a junior high school. I lost my homework at that time, but you picked it up and returned it to me." Another short-haired girl in a brown wool coat said. (end of this chapter) Chapter 118: Will be so kind? Chapter 118 Will you be so kind? Xiaobai glanced at the other party and tried hard to think about it. His memory recovery is only at the age of twelve or thirteen, and he still can''t remember everything about junior high school, so after serious thinking, he shook his head and replied indifferently, "I don''t remember." Where did the girl want him to remember these little things? It¡¯s just to find a reason to get close to him and get to know him again~! Only Xiaobai himself took it seriously and answered the other party''s question with such heart... Next, the remaining girls also found other topics, but in the end they were all dealt with by Xiaobai with a serious and rigorous attitude and a cold face. Not far away, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo saw their son surrounded by a group of girls, and they didn''t object to the girls'' contact with their son. In this day and age, early marriage is almost the norm. Although Wei Qiushuang has no plan to let his son get married early, if his son can meet a good girl, when he is eighteen or nineteen, the family can also consider holding a happy event. Xiaobai had something to hide in his heart, and planned to find an opportunity to tell his parents that he wanted to pursue Lan Shu''s idea. Now the elders in the family let him contact other girls by default, which makes him resist instinctively! So after not staying for long, Xiaobai made an excuse that he needed to read a book and left the crowd. Soon, the visitors who came to Wei''s house to pay New Year''s greetings all knew that Mr. Wei and his little grandson, who were valued by Mr. Wei, didn''t seem to intend to follow his old ways, but were obsessed with reading? Wei Jin never thought that his little grandson would never sing. New Year''s Eve, the news that Wei Jin''s grandson is a nerd will soon be spread, and everyone in the circle will know¡ª ¡­ In the evening, Xiaobai returned home, changed his impatience with other girls at his grandfather''s house during the day, and called Lanshu in a warm voice. "Sister Lan, happy Chinese New Year." "Xiaobai, happy new year." Both of them knew that each family would be very busy during the day, so they wished each other a happy new year when they were free at night. "Sister Lan, do you have time for the sixth day in a few days?" Xiaobai asked suddenly. "Sixth day?" Lan Shu thought for a while, "I plan to go back to Qingyang County on the fifth day." This is something she had planned long ago. Their toilet paper factory is very profitable, and the stock of sanitary napkins is almost bottomed out, so the sixth factory must start work as soon as possible, and she, the factory manager, must be there if there is no accident. "Hmm..." Xiao Bai responded softly. Originally, he still had something to say, but knowing Sister Lan''s plan, he could only press down those words. The sixth day is his birthday, the seventeenth birthday. He hopes to live with Sister Lan, but now, the plan can''t keep up with the changes. But that''s okay. Xiaobai comforted himself that he couldn''t celebrate his birthday together this time, and he had a next birthday. On the other side of the phone, Lan Shu heard Xiao Bai''s slightly disappointed voice, so she thought of asking, "What''s the matter? Is there something wrong on the sixth day?" "It''s okay." Xiaobai replied, "I''ll see you off at the station on the fifth day of the lunar new year." "Okay." Lan Shu said, and asked another question, "Are you going to school after the next year? Which school do you plan to go to?" "Peking University School of Medicine." Xiaobai answered crisply. He had already thought about the school he was going to. As the highest medical institution in China, Peking University School of Medicine is not a place where he can go if he wants. Even if he is recommended by Dr. Chen, he still has to take the entrance examination before the start of the school, and he can only enter after passing the test. Exams that may be difficult for others, in Xiaobai''s view, are not a problem at all. He has almost read the books sent by Dr. Chen, and the entrance exam is no problem. Knowing that Xiaobai already has a target school to go to, Lan Shu unconsciously remembered the time when she and Xiaobai went to Linjiang City to take the diploma exam. Although they all got diplomas, because Lan Shu herself prefers to start a business, she can only go so far in her studies. And Xiaobai can go further in his studies in the future, and Lan Shu is really happy for him from the bottom of his heart. "Then it will help you study smoothly and achieve success in your studies as soon as possible." Lan Shu sincerely wished. "Yes." Xiaobai replied softly. It was completely dark outside the window. In the kitchen of Lan and Gu, the parents of both sides prepared a sumptuous dinner for their children. Seeing that the two of them don''t have much free time to talk, Xiao Bai still has a lot to say to Lan Shu. For example, he wants to go to Lan''s house to pay New Year''s greetings. But because of his brother Gu Cheng, even if the Lan family wouldn''t blame him, they would definitely not want to see them on the happy day of Chinese New Year. There is also the transfer of shares in the toilet paper factory. He took 6% of his 49% shares and transferred them to Lan Shu''s name, hoping to give her a New Year''s gift. But after thinking about it, Xiaobai decided to wait for a few days to meet and then tell her personally. "Sister Lan, see you in two days." Xiaobai watched his parents put the dinner on the table, and ended the topic. "good." After Lan Shu responded, she turned her head to look at her own dining table not far away that was about to be filled with food. "See you in a few days." After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone. On the other side, Xiao Bai didn''t put down the phone until he heard the busy tone of ''di¡ª'' on the phone. At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly missed his days in Tianshui Village and Qingyang County. At that time, although he had no money, he was with Lan Shu every day and lived a relaxed life. But now, even if they are both in the capital, they cannot get together every day. Not to mention the separation of the two places soon. At this time, Wei Qiushuang said, "Gu Jue, come and eat." Only then did Xiao Bai''s train of thought be interrupted. Xiao Bai got up from the sofa and walked towards the dining table. While walking, he was thinking, how should he tell his parents later that he wants to pursue Lan Shu? ¡­ Different from Xiaobai who is full of preoccupations, Lan Shu''s mood is relaxed and harmonious in the Lan family at this time. Dinner was good, and I was able to appreciate Lan Xinya''s cooking process in the "Pain Mask" mode. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan have persuaded her several times in the past few days, but they couldn''t persuade Lan Xinya to persist. Seeing Lan Xinya eating half a bowl of rice porridge with a dark face, Lan Shu suddenly spoke to Xu Shan beside her¡ª "Mom, let''s fry a radish for lunch tomorrow, the kind without meat, and hot and sour cabbage, I want to eat it too." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xu Shan immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay." Lan Xinya was slightly taken aback, and suddenly raised her head to look at Lan Shu, as if she didn''t understand why Lan Shu did this. In the past few days, the food on her table is not all fried rice bowls, there are also radishes and cabbage, but they are all mixed with meat. Lan Xinya knew that Lan Shu bought the meat, so she endured and didn''t even eat a bite of the vegetables. Now listening to Lan Shu, it is obvious that Lan Shu''s request is to end her hard life of only eating steamed buns and porridge every meal, so that she has a reason to eat the dishes. Lan Xinya was surprised, Lan Shu would be so kind? (end of this chapter) Chapter 119: baby you cant Chapter 119 Child, you can''t Lan Shu is not as good as Lan Xinya thought, but she is not bad either. Although she knew that she and Lan Xinya, the heroine of the novel, could never get along in harmony, watching Lan Xinya eat nothing for a few days was a lesson learned. Anyway, she will be leaving the capital in two days. When she is gone, Lan Xinya will no longer be restricted by what she wants to eat. Now, Lan Shu let Lan Xinya eat radish and cabbage for two days in advance, not because she was kind, but because she didn''t want to make enemies everywhere. Doing this is just to sell Lan Xinya. Lan Shu can''t do things too well. If Lan Xinya understands that she doesn''t want to be against her, and don''t bother her again when she is sensible, then they can have nothing to do with each other. If Lan Xinya is still uneasy and kind to herself in the future, then she gave the chance this time, and she won''t do it next time! She will give the chance, but not always¡ª ¡­ Gu family, at the dinner table, Xiaobai shared his thoughts with his parents. He told his parents that he was not interested in the girls he met at his grandfather''s house during the day, and that the person he wanted to pursue was Lan Shu. After saying these words, Xiao Bai thought that his mind would immediately meet with his parents'' opposition, and even reprimanded himself for having such unrealistic thoughts. But who knows, he just saw the surprise in his parents'' eyes, and then those surprises turned into sympathy for him. noob:? When Gu Anguo went to the Lan family a few days ago, he learned that his eldest son, Gu Cheng, had a deep admiration for the biological daughter of the Lan family, Lan Shu. At that time, even though Lan Shu had been married and then divorced, Gu Anguo still didn''t feel that Lan Shu was not good enough for his son. On the contrary, it was Gu Cheng who provoked the two daughters of the Lan family one after another. Gu Anguo has a good impression of Lan Shu, and he will not underestimate Lan Shu just because she is divorced. Lan Shu is a girl who is emotionally strong and brave, and is very successful in her career. She deserves a better man beside her, not Gu Cheng. So the younger son''s confession at this time only surprised Gu Anguo. He never thought that his youngest son would have such thoughts! If the object is Lan Shu, Gu Anguo actually doesn''t mind his son chasing him. Compared to the character of the eldest son, his youngest son is still very good. It''s a pity that Gu Jue is too young to have a career yet. In Gu Anguo''s view, the youngest son is not qualified enough to pursue the successful Lan Shu. Wei Qiushuang had the same idea. So both she and Gu Anguo felt that the relationship between her son and her son would not bear fruit in the end. All they can do is sympathize with their son. After my son failed to confess his love, comfort him well and let him get out of the emotional pain of being rejected... At this time, the couple''s thoughts naturally cannot be known to their son. Otherwise, they were worried that Gu Jue would feel that they were not blessed as parents, and would instead ''splash cold water'' on him? In order not to be a parent who ''splashes cold water'', Gu Anguo pondered for a moment, then said, "If this is your decision, then go for it." Wei Qiushuang also said, "Don''t worry, neither your father nor I will object, otherwise there would be no you." Xiaobai heard about it, and immediately understood why his parents agreed¡ª Yes! His father is several years older than his mother, and he is married again with a child. At this moment, Xiaobai even rejoiced that he was born in such a family to have such enlightened parents. "Thank you, Mom and Dad." Xiao Bai, who didn''t know the truth, was very moved. Then he heard his mother say, "Although mother supports you, Gu Jue, mother hopes that you will learn to improve yourself and grow yourself before expressing your feelings." "Yes, your current age is still too young for the girl you like, and a man has no career, how can you give a woman a sense of security?" Gu Anguo also added on the side. He almost said this, ''son, you can''t do it, the little girls don''t like you. '' Xiaobai had obtained the approval of his parents and was excited, but when he heard what his parents said, he suddenly calmed down! Yes, except for a face that may be Lan Shu''s favorite type, there seems to be nothing else that can attract Lan Shu. "I see." Xiaobai nodded seriously. Just like what his parents said, he will grow himself up as soon as possible. Wait until you have achieved something, and then confess, so that you can be sure! But before that, he has to be careful not to let other men get too close to Lan Shu... Having said all this, Wei Qiushuang originally thought that his son should promise himself to follow the path he arranged for him, so that he might be able to make some achievements in a few years. But in the next second, Wei Qiushuang heard his son say, "Dad, Mom, don''t worry, I will definitely study hard and work hard to make achievements on the road of medicine!" Wei Qiushuang:? Gu Anguo: ¡­ Really blinded their expectations! ¡­ On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was cold in Kyoto. Before dawn in the morning, there were snowflakes floating down profusely. When Lan Shu heard the sound of children laughing and playing in the distance outside the window, got up from the bed, opened the curtains and looked out, the ground and trees outside the door were already white. "Snowing!" In the past, Lan Shu lived in a southern city where it rarely snowed, so she had a strong liking for things that she rarely saw. Seeing the snow at this time, Lan Shu got up immediately, put on thick clothes, gloves and a hat, and ran downstairs in a ''kick, kick, kick''. First floor, in the kitchen. Xu Shan heard hurried footsteps going downstairs, and she guessed who it was without even looking out. Lan Weicheng walks steadily, not so lightly, and Lan Xinya has a gentle personality, so she won''t walk so hurriedly. Besides, Xinya doesn''t like going downstairs recently, so she must be staying upstairs at this time. So Shushu was the only one walking downstairs at this time. Xu Shan thought, she came out of the kitchen with her head, and she saw that it was her own daughter! "Shu Shu woke up? Mom cooked rice and red bean porridge for you, as well as your favorite fried eggs~" After speaking, Xu Shan saw that her daughter had already run to the door, and was about to open the door and go out. "It''s cold outside, where is Shushu going?" Xu Shan was a little worried. Even if the daughter is wearing a milky white long cotton coat, the kind that covers the knees, and thick boots on her feet, gray pink gloves and a hat are also available. But mothers always have a kind of mentality, that is, mothers feel that their children are cold. When Lan Shu heard the voice, she immediately turned her head to look at Xu Shan, "It''s snowing outside, I''ll go out and have a look." Even though she was no longer a child, the way she saw Xue at this moment still made Xu Shan feel like her daughter was still childish. Xu Shan couldn''t bear to dispel her daughter''s joy in seeing the snow. "Then... stay outside for a while, it''s easy to catch cold if it''s too long." "Okay." After Lan Shu finished speaking, she opened the door and ran out¡ª The air-conditioning ''swish¡ª'' rushed towards her face, but at this moment her heart was full of excitement! (end of this chapter) Chapter 120: Didnt say that clearly enough? Chapter 120 is not clear enough? As far as the eye can see, there are white courtyards everywhere. Three or four children in their teens are playing with the snow in front of the door of several neighboring houses, laughing happily. Lan Shu was not too far from the door of the house. While breathing the icy cold air, she ran to the place under the tree where the snow was the thickest, and began to gather the snow into a ball. She''s going to build a snowman in front of her house! Lan Shu wore thick woolen gloves, and before the snowflakes melted and completely soaked her gloves, she quickly made a snowball. Although the snowball was not very big, by the time Lan Shu pushed the ball of snow all the way to the front of the house, the snowball was already the size of a washbasin! "The next step is still a bit of a brain~!" Lan Shu said to herself, and was about to roll another snowball. But as soon as she turned around, she saw Gu Cheng standing a few steps away from herself. At some point, Gu Cheng was already standing there! ¡ª Gu Cheng was dressed in brown, with a brown coat, dark brown trousers, and a black scarf wrapped around his neck. Although this outfit is in line with the aesthetics of this era, in Lan Shu''s view, it is really just how to dress up to look old. In her twenties, she feels like she is in her thirties. Gu Cheng came today to seize the time between him and Lan Shu. Although Lan Shu had rejected him last time, Gu admitted that it was because Lan Shu didn''t know him well enough. After she knows that she and herself are actually the same kind of person in a certain sense, maybe she will change her mind. Originally, he should have said these words last time, but at that time he was really hit by Lan Shu''s ''I think he''s old''! So much that he wanted to say, but didn''t say it... But Gu Cheng felt that today would be his chance to speak his mind. When Gu Cheng came, the road in the compound had not had time to shovel snow because of the heavy snowfall. In order to avoid tire slippage, he parked the car outside the compound and walked over. So without the attention-grabbing car, let him see Lan Shu, who is valiant and heroic in her career, and she will have such an innocent, even cute side in private. This made Gu Cheng suddenly feel that he had a new understanding of Lan Shu¡ª¡ª He believes that Lan Shu will be surprised when she finds out about her different self! But very soon, Gu Cheng found that the first time Lan Shu saw him, he immediately gathered the purity and softness on her face. Her eyes became sharp, and her mood became obviously unhappy¡ª¡ª It was just such a momentary change of expression, and then she continued to build a snowman, as if she didn''t exist at all. Gu Cheng didn''t bother, he watched silently from the side, and even wanted to step forward to help. And Lan Shu no longer has the patience to build a snowman¡ª After seeing Gu Cheng, her original good mood disappeared instantly! So Lan Shu decisively dropped the snowball that was about to be completed, turned around and walked towards her yard. When encountering annoying people, she intends to keep her mind out of sight. But she wanted to be quiet, but Gu Cheng had something to say. "Lan Shu, I''m sorry that I didn''t make a good impression on you at the beginning, but that''s because I didn''t meet you at first, but I met Lan Xinya first, I..." Gu Cheng hadn¡¯t finished speaking, ¡®Bang! With a bang, the door of the Lan Family Courtyard was slammed shut! In Lan Shu''s opinion, what the scumbag says is worthless bullshit! But in Gu Cheng''s eyes, such a woman with personality is more attractive to him¡ª In the morning, in the quiet surroundings, the sound of closing the door immediately caught the attention of the family members. Xu Shan came out of the kitchen, wanting to see what happened. Upstairs, Lan Weicheng and Lan Xinya looked down from the study and bedroom windows respectively. Lan Weicheng''s window was blocked, so he couldn''t see the gate. But Lan Xinya could see clearly that there was a man standing in front of her house! A man she knew so well that she could recognize him just by looking at his figure! Gu Cheng is here! Lan Xinya immediately changed her clothes and was about to go downstairs, but as soon as she opened the door of her room, she thought that Gu Cheng came to Lan''s house, probably not looking for her at all, but looking for Lan Shu... This made Lan Xinya annoyed immediately, wondering whether she should go downstairs or not. Gu Cheng, who was locked out of the door, did not intend to leave. He knew that Lan Shu was only coming to the capital for the New Year and would not stay in the capital for too long. So he will try his best to use the limited time to let Lan Shu know more about him. "Lan Shu, I just want to have a good chat with you." Gu Cheng stood outside the courtyard gate and called inside. In the living room on the first floor, as soon as Lan Shu entered the room, she heard shouts from outside. At first, she thought that she would ignore it, and let Gu Cheng see her attitude. After all, Gu Cheng is the hero of the novel, dignity and arrogance are necessary. I believe he will know how to save face for himself and retreat in spite of difficulties. But who knows, Gu Cheng seems to be ready to stalk him? This surprised Lan Shu a little bit! The other party is also a hero after all, so doesn''t he have the temper that a hero should have? Outside, in the compound where the Lan family lives, there are old neighbors nearby. Everyone knows each other. If something happens, it will definitely be discussed, or even spread¡ª As long as Gu Cheng continued to shout like this outside the gate of the courtyard, it is conceivable that before long, everyone in the courtyard will know that the eldest son of the Gu family who was supposed to be engaged to Lan Xinya turned to her, the Lan family who just The biological daughter who recognized back was interested. Although Lan Shu doesn''t care about those voices, but in this era, the importance of reputation is beyond imagination. She may not care, but it is impossible for Lan Jia, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan not to care. So, originally, Lan Shu didn''t intend to pay attention to Gu Cheng, but now, she had to! Before Lan Weicheng heard the voice outside and went downstairs, Lan Shu had already walked out again, opened the gate of the yard, and blocked the door by herself. She has something to say to Gu Cheng, but she doesn''t intend to let Gu Cheng in. After all, the Lan family is not a place where Gu Cheng can come whenever he wants! "You finally came out." Seeing Lan Shu, Gu Cheng''s face softened and he was relieved. He thinks this is a good start. But immediately after, he met Lan Shu''s cold eyes! "Is it because what I said last time was not clear enough? Where did you have the illusion that you can come to me again?" Lan Shu knew that Gu Cheng must have something to say when he came this time. But she didn''t just want to listen to Gu Cheng''s words. She just wanted to tell Gu Cheng not to bother her anymore! Even though Gu Cheng had already experienced the directness of Lan Shu''s words last time, he was overwhelmed by Lan Shu''s words as soon as he met him! On weekdays, Gu Cheng is not a person who can''t speak, but in front of Lan Shu, he is often choked and speechless. In the end, he could only disrupt what he was going to say, and tried his best to say, "Lan Shu, can''t you try to understand me?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 121: be human with tail between legs Chapter 121 Being a Man with His Tail Between His Sides "It''s not necessary, and I don''t need it." Lan Shu immediately refused. Besides, she also needs to have a good word with Gu Cheng¡ª "No matter how good you are in the eyes of others, you are not attractive in my eyes, and instead annoy me." "I don''t think you''ll be the kind of person who sticks around. I''ve made it very clear. I don''t have any thoughts about you. It doesn''t matter whether you get to know me or Lan Xinya first, the result will be the same." When Lan Shu spoke, her tone was crisp and her attitude was firm, and she didn''t give Gu Cheng a chance to explain at all. She has already said what she should say, if Gu Cheng continues to pester her, it will be too dishonorable. Lan Shu felt that most men would not be able to do that. If you really do it, there is no bottom line! Gu Cheng was speechless by Lan Shu''s refusal. He even wondered, is he really so annoying? And Lan Shu''s eyes at the moment told him brightly that he was just annoying! In Gu Cheng''s life, although he had a bad experience when he was a child, he basically went smoothly when he grew up. This is the first time he encountered such a setback. "Lanshu..." "I advise you to respect and love yourself." Lan Shu said indifferently. Gu Cheng understands what she means, if he continues to entangle himself, he really has no self-esteem and no understanding of self-love. But he is still not reconciled! My relationship hasn''t started yet, so it''s going to end like this? At this moment, Gu Cheng suddenly thought of something, and suddenly met Lan Shu''s gaze¡ª "I''m not interested in me, you... are you interested in Gu Jue?" Gu Cheng couldn''t help but blurt out the suspicion in his heart! He remembered what Gu Jue had said to him yesterday, and he wanted to know the answer. I have no chance, so what about Gu Jue? If Lan Shu''s answer is Gu Jue, Gu Cheng feels that he might go crazy with jealousy! Lan Shu didn''t expect Gu Cheng to ask such a question. She was taken aback immediately. "Gu Jue... Xiaobai? What does this have to do with Xiaobai?!" Lan Shu was about to be laughed out of anger. Although Xiao Bai was indeed good-looking, she was not so hungry that she would attack minors. And rabbits don''t eat grass beside the nest. At this time, although Lan Shu didn''t answer directly, her words had already let Gu Cheng know the answer. She didn''t have that kind of thought about Gu Jue¡ª That''s it... just fine. Gu Cheng took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions that were about to hover on the edge of madness. In just a few seconds, he calmed down. "Sorry, I was... reckless today." Although he said so, Gu Cheng did not regret coming here today. At least let him know that Gu Jue has no chance. Lan Shu was quite surprised that the male lead acted like a different person so quickly. Sure enough, he is the hero after all, so he can''t be an idiot. The ability to change his mentality is something that ordinary people don''t have. Lan Shu just thought that she could finally get rid of the entanglement, and then she heard Gu Cheng say again¡ª¡ª "I was too eager for some things. Now that I think about it, we have just met and don''t know each other well, which is why we got into such an ugly situation." "It will be a long time in Japan, I believe we will have the opportunity to get to know each other more thoroughly in the future." Gu Cheng, who calmed down at this time, seemed to be less annoying than before. Lan Shu even thought about what he said carefully. There will indeed be opportunities for a more thorough understanding between her and the male lead in the future. It''s just that this ''knowledge'' is definitely not as good as Gu Cheng imagined, but that she wants to beat Gu Cheng in the mall! After these few short encounters, Lan Shu has already seen that the heroine is not stupid and sweet, and the hero is not a bright and aboveboard type, and even has deep thoughts. According to the original plot in the novel, the simple Xiaobai will turn black into a villain one day, will the hero also go to extremes? No one can guarantee this! Now the male lead''s career is just at the beginning, and he doesn''t have the ability to cover the sky with one hand, so Lan Shu hates him too. But Lan Shu can''t be sure that if she and Xiao Bai annoy the male lead in the future, they won''t be retaliated against? So she has to become stronger than the male lead, so that when the male lead has the intention to do something, he will not have the ability to do it! Seeing that Lan Shu didn''t speak, Gu Cheng thought that Lan Shu acquiesced to his words. His originally heavy heart was more than half relaxed at this moment¡ª "Then I won''t bother you today, see you later." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he even smiled at Lan Shu. It''s a pity that Lan Shu didn''t look up at him at all, but was thinking in her heart how to ''fuck him'' in the mall in the future! When Gu Cheng turned to leave, Lan Shu was still bowing her head in thought. Behind him, Lan Weicheng, who had just walked out of the house, heard what Gu Cheng said to his daughter. Seeing that Shushu didn''t directly refuse without hesitation like before, but looked thoughtful, Lan Weicheng was very worried that his own daughter would fall into Gu Cheng''s way one day! Get emotionally involved! Upstairs, Lan Xinya also heard Gu Cheng''s words. Seeing Lan Shu''s reaction, Lan Xinya''s heart ached! ¡ª She was even thinking that if Lan Shu was really willing to get to know Gu Cheng, then there might be no future between herself and Gu Cheng! "Shu Shu..." Lan Weicheng''s worried voice sounded, pulling Lan Shu back from her contemplation. Lan Shu turned around and looked up. "What''s wrong?" She clearly saw that Lan Weicheng''s mood was wrong! The family doesn''t need to hide it, she just asks if she has any questions. From Lan Shu''s eyes, Lan Weicheng saw his daughter''s sincerity, so he immediately asked out the worries in his heart¡ª "Shushu, do you treat Gu Cheng..." "Don''t mention him, it''s annoying." Lan Shu frowned. "Thinking that I will have to beware of that kind of person in the future, I really wish I could go back to Qingyang County immediately and start a good business, so that I have the capital to fight against him." Lan Shu looked serious. When Lan Weicheng heard what his daughter said, he was slightly taken aback! "So Shushu, the reason why you were in a daze just now is because you regard Gu Cheng as your future rival?" Lan Shu nodded honestly, and then said, "Don''t underestimate Gu Cheng. His business will grow bigger and bigger in the future. He has no skills, so he will definitely be bullied." "In order for our family not to be bullied, I have to work hard, let Gu Cheng know that our family can''t afford to provoke him, and let him behave obediently with his tail between his legs in the future." Lan Weicheng: ¡­ He misunderstood his daughter¡ª Hearing about his daughter''s ambition, Lan Weicheng suddenly felt ashamed. Gu Chengwei, who is now flourishing in the business district of Kyoto, can ''tweet his tail''. His daughter really dares to think and has ambitions! It''s a pity that Lan Shu''s voice is not loud, and these words did not reach Lan Xinya''s ears upstairs. Lan Xinya only heard one sentence, that Lan Shu was going back to Qingyang County. Go back, go back, only when Lan Shu is gone can I live a happy life. When Lan Shu left, she didn''t believe that Gu Cheng could still chase him to the small county town? Today¡¯s 10,000-word explosion is completed! The update on the 7th in the morning will be a little later. Thank you Autumn & Maple Leaf for rewarding 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 122: just missing a watch Chapter 122 lacks a watch In the next two days, Lan Shu spent a leisurely life in Kyoto. After the third and fourth day of junior high school, the train from Kyoto back to Qingyang County was at around 2:30 pm on the fifth day of junior high school. On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lan Shu went to Gu''s house. She and Xiaobai''s mother, Ms. Wei Qiushuang, also met once. Although the relationship is not that close, she came to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year here, and it is not very far from the Gu family. Years ago, Gu Anguo came to the Lan family, and after the next year, she went there on behalf of the Gu family, so that the relationship between the two families would not be completely broken because of Gu Cheng''s insistence on going his own way! Lan Shu didn''t bring too many gifts this time, but only some homemade things. Yesterday afternoon, her family steamed two more pots of steamed buns, one pot stuffed with mutton and red radish, and one pot stuffed with braised pork, dried vegetables, and vermicelli. Before going to Gu''s house, Lan Shu found a clean small basket, covered it with steaming cloth, and picked up seven or eight of the two kinds of buns and took them with her. At noon, under the strong invitation of the two elders of the Gu family, Lan Shu stayed for dinner at the Gu family. Xiaobai didn''t enter the kitchen this time, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang made lunch. Four dishes and two soups are all skills that the two have learned from their son these few times. When eating, I don''t know if it''s Lan Shu''s illusion. She always has the feeling that the three members of the Gu family look at her and hesitate to speak? However, that feeling came very lightly, and Xiaobai''s parents were very enthusiastic, so Lan Shu soon stopped thinking about it. When leaving Gu''s house, Lan Shu also received a gift prepared for her by Xiaobai''s mother - a set of cosmetics. In fact, it is not accurate to say "one set" of cosmetics, because the three items are not produced by the same manufacturer. What Wei Qiushuang gave her were a lipstick, a box of cream, and a box of rouge for blush. Except for the cream, the rest of these things are not easy to buy in small county towns. It is considered a good intention for Mrs. Wei to give her these. Received the gift and thanked her. Xiaobai said earlier that when she left Kyoto, she would take her to the station, and she kept her promise. Outside Gu''s house, driver Feng was already waiting in his car. Lan Shu first went back to Lan''s house by car, taking a small amount of her own luggage with her. She stayed in the second floor of Lan''s house in her own room on the second floor of Lan''s house for the gloves and hats she bought in the mall these days, as well as the clothes Xu Shan bought for her. In this way, there are so many things that I can¡¯t take them away, and secondly, leaving some things can make Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan have a thought in their hearts, knowing that she is only leaving temporarily and will come back in the future. After waving goodbye to the two elders, Lan Shu boarded the car again, and was taken to the station by Xiao Bai. Originally, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan planned to send her to the car together, but Lan Shu persuaded her to go back. Because she knew that when a parent watched their children leave with their own eyes, such a scene would definitely cause tears. She didn''t want Xu Shan to cry too much. It was better emotionally for her to leave home than to let two people watch her leave at the train station. ¡­ Kyoto Railway Station. Xiao Bai sent Lan Shu to the platform. They came early, and there was still a little time before the train arrived. The two haven''t seen each other for a few days, and there will be a long period of time to separate the two places. Taking advantage of the time, they will inevitably talk non-stop. It is different from the situation when Lan Shu talked a lot and spoke little vernacular when she was in Qingyang County. Lan Shu obviously felt that Xiao Bai was much more cheerful now, at least when facing her, he became talkative. "Sister Lan, will you be busy again after you return to Qingyang County?" "Remember to eat on time no matter how busy you are~!" "Sister Lan, is your secretary at the toilet paper factory surnamed Qu? What''s his name? Do you have a date?" "The other Secretary Tang heard that she is very good. Let her stay with you more and take care of you in life." Lan Shu: ¡­ Why does she feel that Xiaobai''s character has the potential to develop in the direction of an "old lady"? And don''t think she can''t hear it, what Xiaobai said just now somewhat minds that she uses a male secretary! Lan Shu really doesn''t care about the gender of her secretary. Seeing Xiaobai''s concern, she doesn''t mind explaining a little bit. "Secretary Qu has a girlfriend. Once when I was off work, I saw his girlfriend come to him at the gate of the factory." Xiao Bai asked several questions and said a lot of words, and now he heard Lan Shu suddenly answer a question, he was really taken aback. Then he answered half a beat later, "Oh..." Xiaobai was relieved, and his mood immediately cleared up! Then he changed the subject again¡ª "Sister Lan, after the Lantern Festival in about ten days, I will go to school. Do you have any special instructions for my studies?" Xiaobai asked seriously. Actually, when he said this, he wanted Lan Shu to pay more attention to him, pay more attention to his studies, and put more thoughts on him. Of course, Sister Lan''s usual words also have an encouraging and guiding effect on him. Before he devotes himself to studying, he also wants to hear Lan Shu''s opinion. Lan Shu did have something to say about this. She raised her hand, patted Xiaobai''s shoulder, and said seriously. "I am assured of your learning talent. I hope you can always put your mind right when it comes to learning. The basic knowledge must be solid, and you must believe that hard work will pay off. Remember to be rigorous and don''t be careless." "I see." Xiaobai nodded seriously. The voice fell, and the sound of the train whistle of "Woo~~~" sounded. Xiaobai glanced at the time on his wrist watch, it was twenty-five past two. The train is about to enter the station, and Lan Shu is about to leave Kyoto. At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly felt a lot of reluctance. He suddenly put the luggage bag that Lan Shu was carrying in his hand at his feet, put his hands in his pockets, and took out a women''s plum watch with a thin leather belt. Then reached out and pulled Lan Shu''s wrist, and quickly put the watch on her left hand. After doing all this, Xiaobai didn''t let go of his hand. He took Lanshu''s hand and said softly, "Sister Lan, this time you come to Kyoto, I want to give you a gift. After thinking about it, I found that you haven''t bought a watch yet." , I¡¯ll go and buy you a piece.¡± While Xiaobai spoke, Lan Shu listened silently. She actually has a watch, but after coming to Kyoto, she doesn¡¯t need to arrange various schedules like she did in the factory before. Since there is no need to do anything on time, Lan Shu simply took off her watch and lived a miserable life for a few days. Probably because of this, Xiaobai thought he didn''t have a watch. Lan Shu originally wanted to explain this matter. But she also thought of the gift that Xiaobai gave with all his heart. If this intention is explained by herself, it will probably affect her mood. So after a moment of silence, she smiled at Xiaobai, "It just so happens that I lack a watch." Even if Lan Weicheng sells watches... Seeing Lan Shu smiling, Xiao Bai also laughed. It¡¯s too late, there is another chapter to be written and posted tomorrow during the day~ Good night everyone~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 123: a box of lucky money Chapter 123 A Box of New Year''s Money One thing Xiaobai didn''t tell Lan Shu, the women''s watch he gave Lan Shu was a pair with the one on his wrist. As long as he thinks of the two of them wearing the same style of watch, Xiao Bai can''t help but feel happy. "By the way, Sister Lan, there is one more thing." Xiao Bai suddenly became serious. His voice paused before continuing. "Last year, the toilet paper factory developed smoothly. I read the year-end report, and the income was also very good. Therefore, as the major shareholder of the factory, I decided to give 6% of the shares as a reward to the factory manager who has dedicated himself to the factory. That is you, Sister Lan." "The procedures for equity transfer should be sent to the factory in a few days. Sister Lan remembers to accept it when the time comes." Xiaobai''s words are firm and cannot be refuted. His shares have already been given away, and Lan Shu has no choice but to refuse! After listening to Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu knew that he intended to give her money. But 6% of the shares as a bonus is really too much to give! She wanted to persuade Xiaobai that the shares could not be given so casually, but she saw Xiaobai staring at her, as if waiting for her to accept. Lan Shu: ¡­ "Okay, then I''ll accept it." After she finished speaking, she saw a gentle smile on Xiao Bai''s face. Afterwards, Xiaobai picked up the luggage bag at his feet and said softly, "Sister Lan, it''s time for you to get in the car." Lan Shu realized that the train she was going to take had already stopped at the platform. "Then I''m leaving." She said, took the luggage bag from Xiaobai with one hand, took out the ticket from her pocket with the other, waved at Xiaobai, and stepped on the train. "Sister Lan, goodbye~!" Xiao Bai said, and waved to Lan Shu. Through the glass on the train, he watched Lan Shu find her seat after getting on the train, and watched the train roar with a long cry of ''Woo--'', ''Bang Chi! Bang Chi! ¡¯ away. Until the green leather train disappeared into a point in the distance, Xiaobai didn''t look away. "Lan Shu, goodbye..." He said softly, only he heard this voice... ¡­ More than ten hours later, the train stopped at Linjiang City Station for a short time, and Lan Shu got off with her luggage. Borrowing the street light next to the platform, Lan Shu glanced at the time on her wrist. It was not yet five o''clock, and it was still dark. Next, it will take two or three hours to drive from Linjiang Railway Station to Qingyang County. Before returning to Qingyang County, Lan Shu still has some things to do in Linjiang City. Walking out of the train station, she first found an early stall and had breakfast. When it was time for work, Lan Shu took the bus directly to the Linjiang City Newspaper Office. Finding the person in charge of the newspaper, Lan Shu booked two advertisements with the newspaper in the name of the ''Yun Shu'' garment factory. This advertisement is not to promote the sale of clothes, but to recruit agents from outside the garment factory. It is different from the agency store where the factory put clothes in various clothing stores and asked the clothing store owner to sell the ''Yunshu'' brand clothes together with other clothes in the original store. This time, she will be a direct store! Similar to the previous sales model, the store gets the goods from her factory. But the difference is that the directly-operated stores can only sell clothes produced by the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory, and the store signs must be uniformly hung with the words ''Yunshu Brand Clothing''. The difference between directly-operated stores and agency stores is that the price of goods will be a few points cheaper. What Lan Shu wants is not only to sell the clothes in the factory, she also wants to make the brand famous! Let ''Yunshu Clothing'' become a well-known clothing enterprise in the future clothing market. The page size of the advertisement in the newspaper is the same as last time, half a page each time, and 1,000 yuan each time. Actually, if possible, Lan Shu would like to directly take down the entire page. Even if the cost of advertising is doubled, such a large-page advertisement, in addition to being eye-catching, can also let the clothing store owners who intend to join as a direct-sale store feel the pride of their ''Yunshu'' clothing factory, and Their factory is determined to make this brand bigger and stronger. It''s a pity that such a large page is only used for commercial advertisements, and the newspaper office will never agree, so it can only be half-paged. To advertise in a newspaper, you need to pay first. Originally, it was impossible for Lan Shu to carry thousands of dollars with her when she went out, but she received lucky money in Kyoto during the Chinese New Year. Actually, at the age of nineteen, she has already passed the age of receiving lucky money, but as parents, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan are celebrating the New Year with their biological daughter for the first time, so they must give lucky money. Unable to accept the kindness, Lan Shu had no choice but to accept it. Lan Weicheng gave a lot of New Year''s money, and he packed it in a cardboard box. Great Unity with a denomination of ten yuan, a total of ten bundles, ten thousand yuan! Lan Shu still remembers that when she received the money, she was dumbfounded even if she had thoughts decades later! The New Year''s money was collected in piles, and what she thought was outrageous when she thought about it, actually happened to her. Lan Shu still remembers when she received the New Year''s money, Lan Xinya, who took an envelope and packed the New Year''s money, cast a jealous look at her. Actually, Lan Xinya''s one thousand lucky money is quite a lot, and it is quite high in anyone''s house. However, compared with her 10,000 yuan, it is really nothing. So Lan Shu can also understand Lan Xinya''s jealousy. But this is not what she asked for, Lan Weicheng is really in a high mood to be a father, she can''t even refuse it! In the newspaper office, after paying the advertising fee, agreeing on the time and content of the advertisement, Lan Shu took her luggage to the bus station and drove back to Qingyang County. It was almost noon when we arrived in Qingyang County. Today, the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory officially started work. In the morning, she will not be in time to start the machine with everyone. Fortunately, the factory manager Zhu is in the factory, and there will be no leader to preside over it. In the afternoon, as the factory manager, she must go to the factory for a walk, show her face, say a few words of encouragement to the workers, and inspire everyone''s enthusiasm for work. Fortunately, her clothing factory is scheduled to start work on the seventh day of tomorrow, which is staggered from the toilet paper factory, otherwise she will really be overwhelmed¡ª ¡­ Going back to the rented room at noon to rest for a short while, in the afternoon, Lan Shu tidied herself up a bit, and came to the toilet paper factory refreshed. The machines in the factory have started to work, with the sound of ''Boom, Boom...'', sanitary napkins and toilet rolls are being produced one after another. Secretary Qu heard that the factory manager had come to the factory, so he rushed to the production workshop immediately to meet Lan Shu. "Director Lan, you are here. I want to report some work situations." Seeing Secretary Qu talking seriously, Lan Shu became serious. The two walked all the way from the workshop to the small office building. Lan Shu had already learned from Secretary Qu the reason why Secretary Qu should treat her with caution. (end of this chapter) Chapter 124: patent in hand Chapter 124 patent in hand "Years ago, the transformed toilet paper factory in Chiping City imitated our production of sanitary napkins. After we launched the day and night combination sanitary napkins, it didn''t even take half a month. I heard that they also started to order night use from foreign factories. Machine parts for sanitary napkins." Secretary Qu''s message was received this morning. Because Director Lan and Mr. Mark from the foreign machine factory are friends, after ordering sanitary napkin production machines and spare parts from abroad at the toilet paper factory in Chiping City, Mr. Mark called the factory immediately and informed the news. Lan Shu heard that the toilet paper factory in Chiping City had transformed into sanitary napkins more than a month ago, and she felt that the factory manager of that factory was courageous enough! Now that she knows that the other party is following the pace of her own factory and learning to make day and night combined sanitary napkins, she once again feels the executive ability of the other factory manager. Compared to Secretary Qu''s feeling that the other factory has been imitating them, this kind of imitative behavior is too shameless! Lan Shu didn''t feel much like this. If an enterprise wants not to be eliminated and survive, it is not enough to be well-behaved. It is to have leaders who can take the lead and have the idea of ??being one step ahead of others, so that the enterprise can go to the end in the competition. Lan Shu is not afraid of others imitating herself, because it shows that the development of her factory is correct, and she is leading the entire industry. Moreover, it is impossible for the toilet paper factory in Chiping City to immediately launch a combination of day and night sanitary napkins. She turned her head and asked Secretary Qu, "What did Mark say besides saying that the toilet paper factory in Chiping City wants to order spare parts of the size of night-use sanitary napkins?" At this time, when he was asked suddenly, Secretary Qu was slightly taken aback. He was about to be blown up by the toilet paper factory in Chiping City imitating their behavior! But he found that Director Lan was still calm and calm, as if he knew this day would come. Secretary Qu was unknowingly affected by Director Lan''s calmness. He calmed down and thought carefully about Mr. Mark''s words on the phone in the morning. "Mr. Mark said, what patents are involved in the spare parts of the night-use sanitary napkin? Tell Factory Director Lan to call him back after you come back." Qu Zhou was just repeating the original words. As for the meaning of this sentence, he couldn''t understand or understand it. Lan Shu nodded, "That''s right, don''t worry, it''s not that easy for the toilet paper factory in Chiping City to produce night-use sanitary napkins. They can''t do it without my consent!" When she asked Mark to customize 200MM, 290MM and 360MM sanitary napkins, she also applied for patents for these three sizes of sanitary napkins abroad. There is no such thing as a patent in China today, but it has been practiced in foreign countries for more than a hundred years, and the relevant regulations on patents are quite mature. She has a patent in hand, and if other factories want to produce, they must purchase the right to use the patent from themselves. Of course, Lan Shu would agree to the other party¡¯s toilet paper factory to use 290MM night-use sanitary napkin spare parts, but they have to pay themselves patent fees every year. This fee will be transferred to her through foreign machine manufacturers. The Chiping toilet paper factory would never have imagined that when they followed suit and sold night-use sanitary napkins, they would have to pay her. It will take at least one or two months to apply for the right to use the patent over there, go through a set of procedures, and then get the spare parts produced by foreign machine manufacturers. In the past two months, everyone knows that the day and night combination of their Yunrou sanitary napkins has been sold! All Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory can do is to pay the money and then follow behind to pick up people''s teeth. Because of the time difference, it is still night abroad, so Lan Shu is not in a hurry to call Mark to talk about patent royalties. She reassured Secretary Qu, then sat on the armchair behind her desk and made a few phone calls¡ª Just now she has seen almost all the production workshops in the factory, and the five machines in the sanitary napkin production workshop are running at the same time. Various types of sanitary napkins are produced continuously. For the allocation of five machines for the production of sanitary napkins, Lan Shu added a machine to produce 360MM and 200MM sanitary napkins on the basis of the previous two 240MM daily sanitary napkins and one 290MM night sanitary napkin. The last one is to continue to produce daily sanitary napkins. 240MM daily-use sanitary napkins have the largest demand in the market, followed by night-use sanitary napkins. As for 360MM and 200MM, the factory is currently producing first to fill the inventory, but it has not yet come out. Lan Shu plans to wait for the Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory to buy the patent right to use night-use sanitary napkins, produce night-use sanitary napkins and sell them in the market, and then launch 360MM and 200MM sanitary napkins to re-consolidate their "Yunrou" The status of sanitary napkins in this industry! The production of sanitary napkins in the factory can be stabilized temporarily, and there is no need to expand the scale. For the production of toilet rolls, one machine is not enough. At this time, she called the Linjiang Machinery Factory, and ordered four additional paper winding machines from the Machinery Factory. Lan Shu ordered so many machines all at once, not for other reasons, but because she wants roll paper to become popular, which will replace the original rectangular knife-cut toilet paper in the future, which is a necessary development trend. Now the factory doesn''t stock much toilet paper rolls. When this kind of toilet paper is sold, the warehouse can be sold out casually! This is because the existing workshops in the factory are limited, and no amount of machines can be accommodated, so she only ordered four additional roll machines. According to Lan Shu''s thinking, there are not 10 or 20 roll toilet paper production machines, and they will not be able to supply the market demand in the future. So after ordering the machine, Lan Shu also considered expanding the scale of the factory. The bankrupt paper mill next door has all its contents taken away and sold off to pay off debts. The remaining empty factory buildings, Lan Shu thinks that they can buy them all, and use them to expand the scale of the toilet paper factory! When their toilet paper factory settled accounts at the end of the year, they had a working capital of 130,000. The four paper winding machines don¡¯t cost much, and they can be bought within 20,000 yuan. The remaining money is definitely more than enough to buy all the remaining workshops in the paper mill! ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu went to the toilet paper factory first, and handed over the matter of buying the rest of the paper factory to Zhu, the deputy factory director. Afterwards, she went straight to her garment factory. There is still one week before the newspaper advertisement in Linjiang City is published. During this week, she wants to make as many spring clothes as possible. At the same time as advertising for investment in the newspaper, show off the variety of clothing styles in the factory, and by the way, promote the spring clothing of the ''Yunshu'' brand clothing. In addition to women''s clothing, Lan Shu plans to pay a little attention to men''s clothing. If it is a direct-sale store, in addition to clothes, she also plans to design some bags with simple styles, which can also have some matching effects on clothes. And when the time comes, one store will sell two products, which will also help in-store sales performance. (end of this chapter) Chapter 125: much more expensive Chapter 125 Much more expensive Lan Shu doesn''t consider making those complicated leather bags in a short time, but wants to produce some small bags with simple craftsmanship and used to match clothes. For example, the light-colored cloth pouch that came out of the factory a few years ago. Later, Lan Shu also plans to release some small bags with wool plaid pattern. or bags made of plush fabrics should also be very popular among young and fashionable women. With a plan, the next step is to implement the plan. As for the style design of clothes, Lan Shu can draw a lot at will, but with the development of the directly-operated store in the future, it is impossible for her to take care of all the clothing designs. So Lan Shu found out that the factory she had just expanded the year before was now time to expand again! This time, in addition to recruiting fashion designers, she will also recruit a group of sewing girls. As for the pattern-making and tailoring masters who will match the sewing workers, Lan Shu has already handed over Xie Xiaoju and several other pattern-making masters to select talented sewing workers from the factory. After soliciting the opinions of these selected people, the pattern-making master will teach them pattern-making and cutting. Pattern-making masters have a higher status in the industry than sewing workers, and their wages are also high, so many people are willing to switch to this line of work. So now, there are pattern-making master positions in the factory that need to be expanded, and internal personnel in the factory can directly fill them up! Lan Shu shared these thoughts with Secretary Tang and A Xing. A Xing is very interested in the job of fashion designer. But she also has to manage the daily work of the garment factory workers, so she really has no time to spare. In addition to continuing to recruit people, she will be busy for a while. Secretary Tang is also very busy here. In addition to secretary work, she also has to take care of finances. Since she became a secretary for just over a month, she has greatly improved her personal ability! Hearing that Director Lan said that he wanted to expand the factory again, Secretary Tang¡¯s first request was¡ª "Director Lan, our factory must recruit a finance manager first!" Without finances, she might not be able to withstand it anymore! Lan Shu listened deeply. It''s time for their factory to recruit finance. However, it is not easy to recruit highly professional and trustworthy finance. Facing this situation, Lan Shu decided to call Zhang Yunjing later to see if she had such a contact there, so that she could introduce suitable people to work in the factory. This day, Lan Shu stayed in the garment factory. Apart from calling Zhang Yunjing, the rest of the time was spent selecting fabrics and drawing clothes designs based on the fabrics. Secretary Tang, A Xing, and Xie Xiaoju made a tripartite effort to recruit people! ¡­ When Lanshu''s toilet paper factory and clothing factory are developing in an orderly manner, on the other side, Chiping City toilet paper factory. Meng Zhuo is 29 years old this year. He is the son of the previous factory director of the Chiping Toilet Paper Factory, and he is also the current factory director. Different from Qingyang County Tissue Paper Factory, which was separated from the paper mill, Chiping City Tissue Paper Factory had only one factory from the beginning. So in terms of transformation, Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory is much easier than Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. In today''s general environment, state-owned enterprises are struggling to survive, and many factories must face transformation or bankruptcy. Meng Zhuo led the factory to choose transformation. The reason for the transformation in the factory began more than two months ago, after Meng Zhuo saw the sanitary napkins produced by the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. Sanitary napkins may seem inconspicuous, but they are necessary consumables for women. He just spent two days figuring out whether to take the factory to transform, and after two days, he had the result! Although the efficiency of their toilet paper factory is not very good, it is still profitable and has accumulated some funds over the years. After he contacted Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory to purchase sanitary napkin production machines from a foreign machine factory, Meng Zhuo spent more than half of the factory''s money to buy a machine. As the machine came to the factory, sanitary napkins were produced, and it turned out that his choice was correct. The sales of sanitary napkins produced in their factory are very good, and the profit is much higher than that of the previous toilet paper. So it didn''t take long for the factory to enter a stable profit situation. At this time, the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory launched a day and night combination sanitary napkin. When the sanitary napkins with two kinds of matching in one package appeared, they seized the market instantly! Many local merchants in Chiping City choose to purchase from Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. Seeing such a situation, Meng Zhuo''s first reaction was to immediately catch up with the production situation of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory, and buy another machine to produce night-use sanitary napkins! It''s a pity that their factory has limited funds, and it is really not that easy to buy a second machine. In order to raise money, Meng Zhuo even sold his house at the expense of selling his house, together with the internal fundraising of the factory workers, the money problem was solved. But when he collected the money for the second sanitary napkin production machine, he found out that the factory wanted to produce night-use sanitary napkins, and he also wanted to buy machine accessories for the production of night-use sanitary napkins! The sales director of a foreign machine factory said that the price of spare parts is not high, only about 1,000 yuan, but because this kind of parts are subject to patent restrictions, if they want to use them in their factories, they must apply for the purchase of patent rights. As for the price of the right to use the patent, the foreign factory gave the answer the next day, 3,000 yuan a year, until their factory no longer produces this type of sanitary napkin. Meng Zhuo didn''t know what patents were at first, but after he learned about them, he discovered that foreign patent usage regulations are very strict. Once illegally using foreign patented things, even domestic factories will be sued and compensated, and the consequences will be serious! Meng Zhuo had no choice but to increase night-use sanitary napkins in his factory, so he had to follow foreign rules. In order to make up the money, Meng Zhuola borrowed some money from relatives, and even prepaid a part of the purchase cost of sanitary napkins with several merchants in the form of profit sharing, so that he managed to get the patent right to purchase night-use sanitary napkins. money. And the money is only the right to use it for one year. He will pay again in the future! Meng Zhuo suddenly felt that the cost of buying the right to use a patent is much more expensive than buying a machine... If their factory continues to develop, in a few years, the patent royalties can buy a machine¡ª ¡­ Three days later, Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. Regarding the purchase of the paper factory next door, Deputy Director Zhu has already reached an agreement with the relevant departments in the city and completed the formalities. From the bankruptcy of the factory to the sale of the factory, the cost is not much. The paper mill originally had eight large workshops, four small workshops, and more than 20 warehouses. In addition to a large workshop and two warehouses originally used by the toilet paper factory, and another large workshop purchased later, supporting two warehouses. This time, according to Lan Shu''s request, Deputy Director Zhu bought all the remaining six large workshops, four small workshops, and seventeen warehouses. It¡¯s over~ Good night, cuties~~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 126: Zhang Yunjings recommendation Chapter 126 Zhang Yunjing''s recommendation With so many warehouses and workshops, the toilet paper factory spent a total of more than 43,000 yuan. This is still because the original factory went bankrupt, otherwise, there is absolutely no way to get it without 80,000 to 90,000! With so many vacant workshops, the toilet paper factory will soon be able to "change the gun" and no longer be tight, with a bunch of machines squeezed into two workshops. The factory gave the employees half a day of paid leave, and mobilized everyone to clean up the empty factory building together, and then replaced the machines that were originally crowded in the two workshops. Under the arrangement of Lan Shu, five sanitary napkin production machines, three machines for daily sanitary napkin production are in a large workshop. Two machines for producing night use and 360MM, 200MM sanitary napkins occupy another large workshop. The ordinary old knife-cut toilet paper machine was moved to a small workshop. In addition, a machine for rolling toilet paper is in a large workshop. Waiting for the remaining four paper winding machines from Linjiang Machinery Factory to be manufactured and pulled into the factory, this large workshop will be almost full! In addition to the distribution workshop, in the factory, the temporary wall separating the toilet paper factory from the paper factory was also demolished. Now the entire factory belongs to the toilet paper factory, so there is no need to separate them so unfamiliar. That afternoon, Lan Shu arranged for a new plaque to be placed on the plaque above the gate of the paper mill. There are a few large characters written on it¡ªYunrou Toilet Paper Factory. In the past, their factory was called ''Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory'', which was very regional. Now, what Lan Shu has to do is to develop the brand of ''Yunrou'' toilet paper! To develop the brand, start by changing the name of the toilet paper factory¡ª ¡­ At this time in the toilet paper factory, Deputy Director Zhu was sitting in the office he used to use when he was the director of the paper mill. He was quite amazed at the changes in the factory today. The paper mill that was not profitable in the past has transformed into a toilet paper factory that is thriving! It''s a pity that many old workers who used to be in the factory are no longer in the factory... Those old workers don''t know how their lives are going after they lose their jobs? After all, he has been the director of a paper mill for decades, and Deputy Director Zhu still has feelings for the former employees. He was even thinking, if the toilet paper factory continues to expand the production line, maybe some old workers will have the opportunity to come back to work? But this time, he will take good care of it and will not repeat the situation of idle jobs in the paper mill at that time. Just thinking about it, there was a sudden movement in the corridor outside the door. Subsequently, Deputy Director Zhu heard Secretary Qu''s voice¡ª "Be careful, everyone, and move to this one." Deputy Director Zhu got up, walked out the door and looked outside. It turned out that the office of the factory director Lan was officially moved here from the small building next to the toilet paper production workshop. And it seems to be next door to his office. Not far away, Secretary Qu also saw Deputy Director Zhu. He immediately greeted with a smile. "Hello, deputy factory manager, I found a few workers to help factory manager Lan move the office, thinking that factory manager Lan''s office is next to yours, so that if there is anything to do in the future, it will be convenient for both of you to communicate." It was Qu Zhou who first proposed to Lan Shu about moving the office. After all, Lan Shu is the director of the factory. Now that the factory has expanded in scale, she is still living outside the original toilet paper production workshop, in a small office above the two-story building where the workers used to rest. something happened. So after the entire paper mill was acquired by the toilet paper factory, Deputy Director Zhu returned to his original office in the paper mill. Secretary Qu also reminded Director Lan that he could work here in the future. When Secretary Qu said this, Lan Shu thought about it and quickly agreed. But she specifically told Secretary Qu that the office of the director of the paper mill was also used by the deputy director of the paper factory, so she could just make room next door. Lan Shu did this mainly because of her respect and humility to Deputy Director Zhu. No one stipulated that the factory director should use the former factory director''s office. She thinks that the rooms are all the same size, and it would be nice to have another office. At this time, Deputy Director Zhu heard Secretary Qu''s words, and was very grateful for Director Lan''s actions. According to the normal situation, he should vacate the office and let Director Lan use it. But now, with Director Lan''s explanation, he won''t be embarrassed by the situation in the office. Deputy Director Zhu nodded, and replied to Secretary Qu, "This arrangement is also good, it is really convenient for me to report to Director Lan at any time." Deputy Director Zhu knows that Director Lan has given him face, and he should also do enough for Director Lan. Secretary Qu smiled and nodded upon hearing what the deputy director said. "Then I will continue to help Director Lan tidy up the office, see you, Deputy Director~!" "Okay." Deputy Factory Director Zhu responded, and then returned to his office. Next door, Secretary Qu instructed several workers in the factory to tidy up the new factory director''s office very quickly. ¡°The only thing left is to bring the phone lines over.¡± Secretary Qu said, and immediately followed his idea to continue his work independently... ¡­ At the same time, in the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory not far from the toilet paper factory. Lan Shu drew the design drawings of the spring clothes two days ago, and now the samples of the clothes have been released one after another. Small satchels with simple styles and matching clothes, and several semi-finished products are being completed. Lan Shu came to the factory today mainly to see the recruitment situation in the factory. If it is an ordinary sewing girl, it is enough to have Xie Xiaoju and A Xing to check it. But today, a person from Linjiang City, specially recommended by Zhang Yunjing, came to the factory to apply for the financial job. There are two bungalows on the side of the courtyard outside the workshop of the garment factory, one of which is used as the temporary office of Lan Shu, the factory manager. The furnishings in the office are relatively simple, except for the factory manager''s desk and chair, and the bookcase behind the chair, one side is facing the door, and another set of desk and chair is usually used by Secretary Tang for work. After the person arrived, Lan Shu asked Secretary Tang to take a resume. She wants to see the other party''s resume. The state of writing a resume on the spot can best see the person''s mentality for the job. In addition to writing the resume on the spot, there will not be much time to polish and beautify the resume. This situation will most likely allow Lan Shu to know the real situation of the other party as much as possible. Ten minutes later, Secretary Tang handed over a resume to Lan Shu. "Zhai Xue, 31 years old, from Linjiang City, worked in a municipal unit before..." When Lan Shu saw such a resume, she couldn''t help but looked up at the middle-aged man who had just written his resume at Secretary Tang''s desk a few steps away, and looked a little tired. The job of the local people in Linjiang City and the iron rice bowl of the municipal unit. Such a person, Lan Shu couldn''t figure out why he came to the county to look for a job? (end of this chapter) Chapter 127: Disadvantages are also advantages Chapter 127 Disadvantages are also advantages Seeing that the other party looked calm despite the tiredness in his eyes, Lan Shu looked away and continued to read the resume. This Zhai Xue graduated from a university with a major in accounting, and he went to a good university, and his major is quite compatible with the financial needs of their factory. Lan Shu heard Zhang Yunjing say on the phone before that this Mr. Zhai is very capable, but his personality is a bit straightforward and he does things in a strict manner. Waiting for Lan Shu to read through the resume, she didn''t understand the reason why the other party came to the small county from Linjiang City to find a job. After hesitating for a moment, Lan Shu asked the other party, "Are there any salary requirements?" "According to the normal factory financial salary, I can accept it between sixty-five and seventy-five yuan." Zhai Xue raised his hand and pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied softly. Not for high wages? Lan Shu couldn''t figure out why the other party came. "Are there any requirements for the working environment?" Lan Shu asked again. In fact, there is no need to ask this question at all, because anyone who comes to work only needs to work and get paid. What else can they ask for in the working environment? But Lan Shu felt that she should ask a question. At least she wants to try to see if she can learn more about this Mr. Zhai who she can''t see through. It would be best to know why he, a city resident, chose to work in the county. I heard that the director of the garment factory actually asked himself if he had any requirements for the working environment? Zhai Xue was really taken aback! He suddenly thought of the situation when he was working in his previous workplace¡ª Although his unit was very good at that time, but because of his straightforward personality, he offended many people, so after working year after year, his position not only did not rise, but instead he was transferred from a decent clerical position in the office to a The enterprises under the municipal units do security work. To put it mildly, he is the team leader of the security department. To put it bluntly, he is actually the head of the factory gate. Zhai Xue couldn''t figure it out. As a clerk, he would be able to do it to the point of guarding the door? This made him want to quit his job several times and find another way out. But his idea failed to get the support of his family. Especially his wife said that even if he is a gatekeeper, he is still paid. Once he loses his job, how can he support his family? Although Zhai Xue has a straightforward personality, he is not unreasonable. It is precisely because he is responsible and responsible that he continues to do jobs he doesn''t want to do. Until two days ago, an old classmate named Zhang Yunjing contacted him when he was in college and asked him if he would like to change jobs? Zhai Xue asked Zhang Yunjing about the situation, and learned that he was doing financial work in a small garment factory. Although the clothing factory is not very big, it is very profitable. It is the manufacturer of the "Yunshu Brand Clothing" that has recently become famous in Linjiang City. Zhai Xue is still very satisfied with this job opportunity, but the place of work is in the county. Asked him to work in the county, Zhai Xue hesitated a little. But no matter what you think of, it''s better than being the head of security now, right? So Zhai Xue wanted to give it a try. Zhai Xue still remembers this old classmate. Knowing that the old classmate is now working in the Municipal Women''s Federation and has already taken the position of deputy director, Zhai Xue quite believes that the job introduced to him by the old classmate is not wrong. So he came for an interview today. Before the interview, he upheld the attitude of being responsible for his family, and he didn''t quit his job as the head of the security department, he just asked for leave. If the job here can be successfully interviewed, then he will immediately go back to the previous job. Hearing the question from the young director of the garment factory at this time, Zhai Xue bowed his head and pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head to meet the gaze of the director Shanglan, and said. ¡°I have no requirements for the work environment, but I have requirements for the interpersonal relationship in the work environment.¡± He said. "I''m a person who doesn''t beat around the bush. When I come to work, I only do my financial work and help the factory settle accounts. I''m not good at getting along with others, so I may be out of gregariousness or even offend people. " Zhai Xue wants to find a long-term job, instead of being fired after a few months, so he will frankly tell the other party his problems. In the end, it doesn''t matter whether the opponent will use him or not. But if he can stay, he will definitely do a good job. The interviewer told the factory manager in front of the factory manager that he was straight-tempered, out of gregarious, and only wanted to work but not socialize, so he might offend people. This is the first time Lan Shu has seen such a direct person. Although in the other party''s mouth, his personality is ''deadly'' in the workplace, but in Lan Shu''s view, such a person is simply the most suitable person for financial work! If he was doing finance, Lan Shu would not worry at all that other people in the factory would make things easier for the finance staff on some bills that needed to be reimbursed or reimbursed because they had a good relationship with the finance staff. There is a financial person who just wants to do work and refuses to have a relationship with anyone. In the future, the factory will definitely save money! So Lan Shu picked up a paper from her desktop that had been published long ago to test the professional ability of financial personnel, and asked the other party to do it. "If you can achieve 90% of the time in an hour, then stay." Zhai Xue is not afraid of the professional ability test at all. He got up and went to the factory manager''s desk, took the test paper, went back to Secretary Tang''s desk, took out a pen from his arms, bowed his head and began to write seriously. It took Zhai Xue just over half an hour to complete the one-hour problem solving. Lanshu looked at the answers on the test paper. Although the questions she asked were not difficult ones, she was surprised that the other party got them all right! This shows that Zhai Xue is a careful and rigorous person, which makes Lan Shu more assured of his professional ability. "You can stay. The monthly salary is 80 yuan. The factory has benefits during the festival and a bonus during the New Year." Although the normal financial salary of seventy-five yuan is considered high, Lan Shu feels that Zhai Xue in front of her is worth the salary she is offering at this time. She must keep the person she wants, so that the other party will not have the idea of ??changing jobs even if it is for the sake of money! Hearing this salary, Zhai Xue was stunned again. Eighty every month? And benefits and bonuses? He knew that the director of the garment factory in front of him didn''t pay wages randomly. Because he saw the seriousness in the factory director''s eyes. Zhai Xue''s mood suddenly became complicated. For so many years, he has been bumping into walls everywhere in his work unit, but he can still find such a high-paying job relying on his own ability! As far as this is concerned, he will definitely work hard in the factory! Live up to the leadership''s trust in him! Thinking of this, he looked at the factory manager and said seriously. "Thank you, the factory manager, I will go back to Linjiang City and quit my previous job, and I will join the job tomorrow." Lan Shu saw that Zhai Xue was about to turn around and leave after finishing speaking. Dare to tell her in front of her that he hasn''t quit his previous job. If you are a narrow-minded factory manager, you may think that he is not sincere in looking for a job. Now Lan Shu understood the reason why Zhang Yunjing said on the phone that she recommended this candidate with a straightforward personality. (end of this chapter) Chapter 128: The tangle of direct sales stores Chapter 128 Tangle of directly-operated stores Zhai Xue is really straightforward, not sociable, and sophisticated. But here in Lan Shu, shortcomings can also become advantages. "Then go back and go through the formalities first. The round-trip fare will be reimbursed by the factory." Lan Shu said. She is really optimistic about Zhai Xue''s finances. Hearing that the factory director of his new work unit even reimbursed his travel expenses, this feeling of being taken care of made Zhai Xue suddenly have a sense of belonging to this job! Just for a short moment, he had the feeling that he really found the job he wanted and wanted to work hard in this job! Although it is a good thing to be able to reimburse travel expenses, as a financial officer, he must have rules and a bottom line in mind. Before he formally entered this job, he was not an employee in the factory. Besides, the round-trip travel expenses were his own personal affairs before joining the company, so this reimbursement of travel expenses was absolutely unacceptable to him! So, Zhai Xue, who was about to leave, stopped again because of the words of the leader of the new unit. "Factory manager, I will take care of my own affairs as soon as possible and come to the factory to report. As for the reimbursement of the fare, there is no need for it. After I officially become the factory''s treasurer, and if there are travel expenses, it will not be too late for reimbursement. " Zhai Xue''s words made Lan Shu realize once again that he has a rigorous personality, is upright in his work, and has no greed for petty gain at all. Finance Zhai has his insistence, and she can''t force it anymore, so she nodded and replied, "Okay." After reaching a consensus with the future unit leaders, Zhai Xue left. When he came, he still felt that he had no idea and was tired all the way. When he left, he was already in good spirits, with light in his eyes¡ª ¡­ On this day, Lan Shu''s clothing factory hired not only what she thought was a good accountant, but also about 20 sewing workers, six salesmen, and four guards. Originally a small garment factory with more than 60 people, now it has a scale of nearly 100 people! Even the hundreds of square meters of idle warehouse workshop bought from the machinery factory, now the sewing machines, pattern-making and cutting room, and staff rest room basically occupy the entire workshop! The scale expansion speed of the garment factory has greatly exceeded Lan Shu''s expectations. ¡­ Three days later, the new edition of Linjiang City''s newspapers went on sale. In just one day, ''Yunshu Clothing Factory'' and ''Yunshu Brand Clothing'' once again caused extensive discussions among the people of Linjiang City! On the same day, at the clothing factory, Secretary Tang received calls from the owners of three brand clothing agency stores in Linjiang City, who expressed their willingness to join as direct stores. Their clothing factory now has nine agency stores in Linjiang City, spread across the city in all directions, and three agency stores are going to be converted into directly-operated stores. In fact, this figure is not very ideal in Lan Shu''s opinion. Fortunately, this is only the first day, and it is normal for some agency owners to have concerns. Give them time to observe and consider, and it is possible to become a directly-operated store in the future. Moreover, the newspaper only came out for one day, and the county usually receives the newspapers distributed by the city on the next day, so in the future, if the agency stores of their clothing factory around Linjiang City are to be converted into directly-operated stores, it may be necessary There are many ~! As expected, two days later, in Linjiang City and surrounding counties, more than 20 agency stores have indicated that they will be directly-operated stores. In addition, there are six or seven businessmen from other industries who are very interested in the idea of ??the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory to develop direct sales stores. They said that they would like to come to the factory for field inspection recently. idea. Next, it is conceivable that the garment factory will be very busy. Fortunately, Secretary Tang can completely free up his hands to do secretarial work. On the financial side, Zhai Finance has completed the resignation procedures from Linjiang City, and officially came to work at the ''Yunshu Garment Factory'' in Qingyang County. And Lan Shu, the director of the clothing factory, is also very busy from designing clothes to designing signs for directly-operated stores... ¡­ Qingyang County shopping mall, the size of the store is the largest among the three floors of the entire shopping mall, and Wang Li, the female owner of the "Beautiful Wardrobe" clothing store, definitely ranks among the top three. She saw in the newspaper that the "Yunshu" clothing factory was recruiting agents to set up a direct store. advertisment. Wang Li''s store is the earliest clothing agency store of the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory. All along, Wang Li can be said to have watched the ''Yun Shu'' garment factory grow and grow! She is very clear about the business ability of the director Lan of the ''Yun Shu'' garment factory. Wang Li admired the fact that in a few months, a small retail store could be turned into a factory with 50 or 60 agency stores in Linjiang City! The reason why the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory has developed so rapidly is that the clothes in the factory are fashionable and popular, and they sell well in the store. Wang Li''s "Beautiful Wardrobe" sold twenty or thirty pieces of "Yunshu" brand clothes at a time from the beginning, and now half of the clothes in the entire store are from the "Yunshu" clothing factory. When Wang Li saw the advertisement in the newspaper, she also hesitated whether to convert her store into a direct store. But thinking about her large store, she has other channels to sell clothes besides the clothes from the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory. In this way, there will be more styles of clothes in the store and more customers. It¡¯s just that the goods purchased from other channels are not like the clothes from the ¡®Yunshu¡¯ clothing factory. There is no purchase fee, and there is no fear that they will not be sold out. In these years, at the end of almost every quarter, Wang Li would lose money to clear the warehouse and dump the goods in order to sell the clothes at the bottom of the box. This uncontrollable situation where selling clothes makes money, but also loses money, made Wang Li entangled in whether to turn her store into a direct-sale store... The one who finally changed Wang Li''s mind was a clothing store owner who came to Qingyang County from Kyoto to buy goods¡ª Yu Yuan is 28 years old this year, and he opened a store in a clothing mall in Kyoto. In addition to selling clothing, the store also sells leather bags and belts. The business in Yuyuan''s shop has always been good, not bad. His shop is a non-distinctive and unremarkable clothing store in the entire Kyoto clothing store. Although it makes money, it won''t make a lot of money! During the Chinese New Year, Yu Yuan saw a little girl dressed in western style and bought a bag in his shop. The style of the little girl''s clothes is actually similar to the clothes in many clothing stores, but the clothes of the same style will make people look comfortable after some details are adjusted! And the little girl''s clothes and the bags in his store look very well matched. So after the next year when it was not too busy, Yu Yuan closed the store for a few days and came to Qingyang County on purpose, looking for the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory based on the information provided by the little girl at the time. Yu Yuan is not a local, and he is not familiar with the road. He asked someone about the clothing of ''Yun Shu'', and was recommended by passers-by to the store ''Beautiful Wardrobe'' in the county shopping mall. It is said that this store is one of the agency stores of the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory, and there are many clothes from the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 129: Welcome Chapter 129 welcome to join After Yu Yuan came, he saw Wang Li, and he saw more intuitively the clothes of the ''Yunshu'' brand hanging in the ''Beautiful Wardrobe'' store. Years later, spring clothes have started to go on, and a batch of new spring clothes just arrived here from the garment factory today. Wang Li had just hung up her clothes when she saw a man wearing a brown leather jacket, flared trousers and pointed leather shoes walk into her women''s clothing store. It is definitely rare for a man to visit a women''s clothing store, so Wang Li looked at him twice more. From the moment the other party enters the door, he observes the clothes in his store one by one. Judging from the fact that the other party is definitely not here to buy clothes! It must be a colleague! "What can you do?" Wang Li asked. Looking at the other person''s clothes, she should not be a local. And most likely from other cities. Waiting for the other party to speak fluent Mandarin, Wang Li knew that she guessed it right! "Hello, I opened a store in a clothing store in Kyoto. I heard that the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory is recruiting foreign agents, so I just wanted to see the situation and use the goods as an agent." Yu Yuan immediately stated his intention for coming. Wang Li just thought that the other party might be from another city, but she never thought that the other party was from Kyoto! The owner of a clothing store in a clothing store in Kyoto came all the way to the county to get goods. What does this mean? Explain that the clothes made by the ''Yun Shu'' clothing factory, even the colleagues in Kyoto agree with it! That''s why the other party has the idea of ??becoming an agency! Usually, the clothing stores in their county buy from the city. The goods purchased in the city are all outdated styles left over from sales in big cities. Even so, those styles are sold well as new ones in the county shopping malls. But now, the clothing stores in Kyoto are coming to the clothing factory in the county to get their goods. This shows that the clothes of the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory can be linked to the clothing styles of big cities like Kyoto! The appearance of the other party is to stamp the fashion level of the clothes of the ''Yun Shu'' clothing factory! She is a clothing store in the county seat. She hesitated at the beginning about turning it into a direct-sale store of the ''Yunshu'' brand, but now there is no need to hesitate! Because the popularity of clothing styles is the "lifeblood" of clothing stores. Her store has the opportunity to sell the styles of clothing that the owner of a clothing store in a big city is looking for. Does she still need to go back and sell obsolete products? So after Wang Li made up her mind, she took Yu Yuan directly to the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory. She is going to talk about the directly-operated store, and Yu Yuan is also an agent of the ''Yunshu'' brand clothing. In addition to the two, there is also a clothing store owner from Kyoto in Linjiang City, who is rushing to Qingyang County. The other party was the owner of the store who bought clothes at an agency store in Linjiang City before the end of last year and brought them back to his store to try selling them. At that time, the goods she picked up in Linjiang City were quickly sold in the store in Kyoto. Depending on how quickly the goods are sold, she has to open up the purchase channel of the Qingyang County Garment Factory¡ª ¡­ At the garment factory, when Wang Li and Yu Yuan arrived, Lan Shu happened to be in the factory. But today the clothing store owners are not the only two who came to the clothing factory to talk to the factory manager about the directly-operated store. In the yard outside the workshop of the garment factory, there were about a dozen clothing store owners from Linjiang City and surrounding counties. They waited patiently, walked into the office one by one, and signed a direct store contract with the garment factory. It was also at this time that Wang Li realized that her previous struggles were unnecessary. So many clothing store owners want to turn their stores into direct-sale stores, which proves that their choice is not wrong! Yu Yuan came all the way from Kyoto, and his original understanding of the ''Yun Shu'' clothing factory was limited to the clothes'' styles. Now, seeing so many clothing store colleagues waiting to meet the director of the clothing factory, Yu Yuan has a premonition that the clothing of the "Yunshu" brand will become a hot seller in the future! It''s not just about the quality of clothing styles, but about customers'' perception of the brand. Yu Yuan was glad that he did not hesitate and came to Qingyang County. Otherwise, he may lose a chance to make his clothing store a well-known and well-known clothing store in the future¡ª After more than an hour, Yu Yuan finally got himself in line. Walking into the office, he immediately saw a very beautiful little girl sitting behind the desk, who impressed him deeply! Yu Yuan:? He suddenly remembered that when he was in the shopping mall in Kyoto, he asked where the little girl bought the clothes she was wearing, and then the little girl told him that the introduction was quite detailed... So the little girl is from a garment factory? "Hello, I''m Lan Shu, the director of Yunshu Garment Factory, we meet again." Lan Shu also recognized the person in front of her at this time. It was the owner of the store where she bought the small white leather bag when she was shopping in the shopping mall in Kyoto. "Factory Director?!" Yu Yuan had a surprised expression on his face. Such a young director¡ª No wonder the clothing styles of the ''Yun Shu'' brand are so trendy and fashionable. Because the decision makers have the forward vision of young people! This made Yu Yuan even more looking forward to his clothing store becoming the agency store of the ''Yunshu'' brand! As for the directly-operated store that Wang Li mentioned when he came, he has not considered it yet at this stage. But maybe he will have more in-depth cooperation opportunities with the ''Yun Shu'' garment factory in the future. Knowing Yu Yuan''s intention to come, Lan Shu signed the agency contract with Yu Yuan on the spot. "Welcome Boss Yu to join our Yunshu Garment Factory." Lan Shu smiled and said softly. Her clothing brand is finally going to develop in Kyoto¡ª Even if there is only one store now, Lan Shu believes that her ''Yun Shu'' brand will definitely become the mainstream of the clothing industry in first-tier cities in the future! ¡­ On the Linjiang city newspaper, on the day when the second issue of the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory advertisement was released, the number of clothing stores that have decided to cooperate with the ''Yunshu'' clothing factory to directly operate stores has reached 36. As for the signboard of the clothing store, Lan Shu has already designed it. On the light silver-gray signboard, the word "Yunshu" is enlarged one gray and one purple, followed by the four words "brand clothing" in a slightly smaller font. Such a simple design will not be outdated even if it is used for ten or twenty years. If you want to redesign in the future, you can modify it on this basis. After the design was completed, Lan Shu immediately asked Secretary Tang to find a company that made advertising signs and make them. All the signboards to be changed in direct-sale stores are paid by the garment factory. This also reflects the sincerity of the garment factory in expressing cooperation with the directly-operated stores. In fact, the most important thing is that Lan Shu feels that it is better to order the signboards uniformly than for each store separately. Maybe there will be differences in the fonts and colors of the signboards. In the end, the signboards of each directly-operated store look varied and unprofessional . So the clothing factory decides, even if it costs a little money, it will avoid a lot of trouble in the future. Lan Shu''s move immediately won the favor of many clothing store owners. (end of this chapter) Chapter 130: in a hurry Chapter 130 Hurry up When the development momentum of the garment factory was just right, Lan Shu received a call from Deputy Director Zhu at the toilet paper factory, asking her to go. In the past few days, Lan Shu spent most of her time at the garment factory because the garment factory signed contracts with the bosses of various agency stores that were converted into direct sales stores. It is also because of the presence of Deputy Factory Manager Zhu that Lan Shu can be so relieved about the situation at the toilet paper factory. It just so happened that today was not very busy. After receiving the call, Lan Shu rode directly on her bicycle and went from the garment factory to the toilet paper factory in a few minutes. In the factory manager''s office, Secretary Qu was sitting at the secretary''s desk near the door. When he saw the factory manager Lan coming, he immediately got up and poured water for the factory manager, then turned around and went to the next door to tell the deputy factory manager that the factory manager was back. news. Lan Shu just sat down here, took a sip from the water glass, and saw Deputy Director Zhu striding into her office. "What happened?" Seeing Deputy Factory Director Zhu walking in a hurry, and he called her specially to ask her to come back, obviously something important happened. Deputy Director Zhu was not panting when asked, and immediately explained his purpose. "Director Lan, our toilet paper factory has to buy another machine!" Deputy Director Zhu said. In the past, when the factory expanded its scale and wanted to buy machines, it was Lan Shu who suggested it. At that time, Director Zhu was still worried. And this time, he can take the initiative to mention it, which shows how urgent the factory''s demand for new machines is! Lan Shu listened to Deputy Director Zhu''s words, and she was not in a hurry. She asked Secretary Qu to move a chair for Deputy Director Zhu and put it on the opposite side of her desk, and waited for Secretary Qu to pour a glass of water in front of Deputy Director Zhu before Lan Shu said¡ª "Deputy Director Zhu, speak slowly." Deputy Director Zhu didn''t care about drinking water at all, and said directly, "Director Lan, you are busy at the garment factory these days, and you may not know that the sales staff in our factory have already contacted you in Haicheng and Yuanping. When we arrive at the store, we sell sanitary napkins produced in the factory.¡± "There are more than 70 of these stores together, and there are more than 30 stores in Kyoto. There are hundreds of stores in these three big cities alone, and the monthly sales are amazing!" Speaking of these, Deputy Director Zhu is both proud and anxious. He is proud of the rapid scale development of the factory and the good sales of sanitary napkins produced in the factory. And what is anxious is that the inventory in the factory is almost overwhelmed, and the supply of sanitary napkins will be cut off at any time! ¡ª When Lan Shu heard this, she nodded, not surprised. Sanitary napkins are a consumable product, as long as they spread out in the market, they won''t worry about selling them. On the opposite side, Deputy Director Zhu continued. "The three major cities plus the factory originally supplied sanitary napkins to Linjiang City and more than 20 surrounding counties and districts, as well as neighboring cities. The production volume of our factory can no longer keep up with the sales speed!" "Fortunately, there are still some stocks in the warehouse, but it won''t last long. In addition, in the past two days, several supply and marketing cooperatives in the city have contacted our factory, and they also want to sell the sanitary napkins produced in our factory to their whole city. Spread out." "In this way, the inventory in our factory will be emptied at any time! So I haven''t agreed to the requests from the supply and marketing cooperatives in those cities yet." After hearing Deputy Director Zhu''s words, Lan Shu understood how anxious Factory Director Zhu was at this time. "Then contact me to buy a machine." Lan Shu immediately decided. It seems that she still underestimated the sales speed of sanitary napkins in the factory. There are only five sanitary napkin production machines, which is indeed a little less. The machine is going to be bought, but this time Lan Shu does not plan to buy the previous model. In order to expand the scale of the factory, the machines have to be "shotgun" in order to be worthy of their factory''s current leading position in the same industry. After Lan Shu agreed, Deputy Factory Manager Zhu immediately went to the finance company to confirm the current liquidity situation in the factory. And Lan Shu called Mark abroad that night, and asked the foreign machine factory if there was a newer model of the sanitary napkin production machine. As for Lan Shu''s question, Mark answered immediately. "There are new machines that can speed up the production of sanitary napkins and optimize the quality of sanitary napkins to a certain extent." After listening to Mark explain the situation of the machine in detail, Lan Shu directly ordered five such machines according to the current capital situation in the factory reported to her by the deputy director Zhu in the afternoon! The price of an old machine is 16,000, while the price of the latest sanitary napkin production machine is 23,000. One machine costs 7,000 yuan more. Maybe others have to carefully consider and judge the pros and cons, but for Lan Shu, the leading industrial power is the key to their factory leading the industry! The five machines cost more than 110,000 yuan in total, but the factory only had more than 90,000 yuan in its account, and part of the payment was scattered among the various shops that cooperated with the factory, and it was not recovered in time. Fortunately, she told Mark this time that the deposit should be paid first, and the final payment should be made one week after the machine is delivered. This is also to verify the work efficiency of the new machine, whether it is really as good as the introduction. Mark heard what Lan Shu said, and immediately said on the phone, "Don''t worry my friend, I will report these requests of yours." "Don''t worry, the conditions you mentioned shouldn''t be a big problem." "Thank you very much." Lan Shu replied. The two agreed on a time for the next call, and then both hung up the phone. ¡­ The other side, the next day, Kyoto. Xiaobai took the entrance exam for Peking University School of Medicine. Although his exam was not approved by the whole family, the attitudes of Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo have softened a lot. My son''s current situation, the memory has not been found, Wei Qiushuang is not easy to force anything. In addition, Dr. Chen found her husband and wife on purpose, and told them about Gu Jue''s medical talents and hoped that they could support Gu Jue on the path of medicine. Although Wei Qiushuang was still a little unwilling, she did not stop her son''s decision in the end. Gu Anguo is more relaxed about his son''s future development. Although he also hopes that his son can go on in accordance with the arrangement of the family, after thinking about it carefully, he feels that as a father, he should support his son''s own choice. This exam was not difficult for Xiaobai, he even handed in the paper ahead of time and walked out of the exam room ahead of schedule. The result of the test was not released on the same day, so he had to wait another two days. ¡­ On the second day of Xiaobai''s exam, in the compound of District J, Kyoto. Once Mr. Wei learned that his little grandson had really gone to the medical school, he blushed with anger! He immediately called his daughter and son-in-law and asked them to come back! After get off work at night, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo went to Wei''s house. The two originally thought that the old man would definitely lose his temper, and they were even ready to be scolded. But it turned out that I heard that in the afternoon, an old friend of the old man came to the house, and the two chatted for a few hours in the upstairs study room with the door closed, which finally made the old man change his decision. (end of this chapter) Chapter 131: Personal wishes can be compromised Chapter 131 Personal wishes can be compromised Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo didn''t know that the exam results would come out two days later, because the professor of medicine Zhang from Peking University School of Medicine was really curious about Dr. Chen''s strong recommendation, so he read the papers in advance. The result is that the little grandson of the Wei family, Gu Jue, has rolled noodles, and he can''t find the fault! You should know that in addition to the basic knowledge of medicine, in the entrance examination questions issued by their school this time, in order to test the degree of medical knowledge reserve of the candidates who took the exam, a few super-standard questions were specially prepared later. Those questions have even reached the category of second-year medical students, but they were actually solved by Gu Jue! This is enough to show how big Gu Jue''s medical knowledge reserve is! What shocked Professor Zhang even more was that he remembered that Dr. Chen had said that that kid Gu Jue had been involved in medical knowledge not long ago. Combining the time of the Chinese New Year, it only takes about two or three months to fully calculate. In two or three months, he has learned what other people have learned in medical school for two years, and he has learned the whole process by himself. How can this not shock him! ? This is the amazing performance of medical talent, this is genius! Such a genius must stay! Professor Zhang is from the medical circle, but he is no stranger to Mr. Wei. The two of them have known each other for twenty or thirty years. He knew that Mr. Wei''s expectation for his grandson was not on the path of medicine, and he was worried that Wei Jin would prevent Gu Jue from coming to the medical school to study. That''s why Professor Zhang came to the door in person. Through his relationship with Wei Jin when he was young, he finally persuaded Wei Jin to let his grandson agree to study at Peking University School of Medicine. Professor Zhang didn''t know that it wasn''t his earnest persuasion that made Wei Jin stop obsessing, take a step back, and agree to his grandson''s development in medicine. Nor was it the friendship of their youth. It is a sentence from Professor Zhang¡ª "The development of domestic medicine requires fresh blood. Gu Jue''s talent may be someone who can make major breakthroughs in medicine in the future!" Although Wei Jin hopes that his little grandson can follow the path he arranged for him, if it is for the development of the country, all his personal wishes can be compromised! So Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo had a peaceful meal at Wei''s house at night. Although the old man had a cold face the whole time and was obviously unhappy, he didn''t reprimand them, saying that they didn''t raise their children well. ¡­ That night, the Gu family and Xiaobai made some random food at home alone to fill their stomachs. Although grandpa also asked him to go at night, Xiaobai refused decisively. After he knew that he had gone, what would Grandpa say. Those words conflicted with his decision, so he wasn''t going to step forward to scold him. After dinner, Xiaobai originally planned to go back to his room to tidy up. When the test results come out the day after tomorrow, he should go to Peking University School of Medicine. But before he could go upstairs, there was a knock on the door. Parents are back? Xiao Bai walked out while thinking. He felt that his parents came back early, and they must have been scolded badly at his grandfather''s house, so he didn''t eat much, so he hurried home. But when he opened the door, he saw that it wasn''t his parents standing outside his house, but... Li Xuan! "Why are you here?" Xiao Bai couldn''t help frowning immediately when he saw Li Xuan. This woman always appeared in front of his eyes with a lovely and pitiful attitude, and every time she had nothing to say, she was not embarrassed, but he felt speechless. Li Xuan saw that there was no movement at Gu Jue''s house, and he seemed to be alone at home. School would start in two days, but she came to say goodbye today, and she suddenly became emboldened! "Gu Jue, I, I like you! I haven''t been in a relationship yet. This is the first time I like someone. I have liked you since a few years ago!" Li Xuan''s confession of first love looks innocent and beautiful. If it were any other sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, she might blush because of her words. But Xiaobai is different. He didn''t like Li Xuan from the very beginning, not even a friend, let alone other feelings. Li Xuan helped him to find his family back then, but their family has already thanked them, and the Li family took a lot of things from his family. Xiaobai feels that he must repay his kindness, and his family has also repaid it, so others can no longer take this kindness to repay it. So after listening to Li Xuan''s words, Xiaobai answered without delay, "I don''t like you." "You...then who do you like?" Although Li Xuan had already guessed that she might be rejected by Gu Jue, she never expected that Gu Jue would reject him so simply. Even if she was rejected, she would not give up and asked this question instead. If Gu Jue doesn''t have someone she likes, then she still has a chance. If Gu Jue has someone she likes, at least she can know the type Gu Jue likes, and she can adjust herself in that direction. In this way, it is not impossible for her and Gu Jue to have a relationship in the future! "You don''t need to know who I like." Xiao Bai frowned. As for Li Xuan''s attempt to pry into his mind, he did not immediately give an explanation. He can confess his feelings to his parents, but there is no need for outsiders. When Li Xuan heard this, she knew that Gu Jue must have someone she likes! Who will it be? Li Xuan could imagine that the only one of the opposite **** who has the opportunity to appear beside Gu Jue now is... "Do you like Lan Shu?!" This guess did not surprise her. Because of the previous few contacts, Li Xuan did find that Gu Jue''s attitude towards that Lan Shu was unusual. Li Xuan thinks that all men are attracted by beauty. Back in Linjiang City, Lan Shu was chubby and inconspicuous. At that time, she didn''t think that Gu Jue would like him. But the Lan Shu she saw at Gu''s house before the last Chinese New Year, the way she dressed up after losing weight, even she was amazed when she saw it! So Gu Jue was bewildered by Lan Shu''s beauty, so he fell into a trap, right? As long as I dress up better than Lan Shu... Li Xuan already had such an idea. Seeing that his thoughts were so easily guessed by others, Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback. Is it really so obvious? He was even a little worried, what if Lan Shu found out that he liked her in advance? Before he became mature, stable, and responsible like his parents said, what if Lan Shu despised him for such a self? Xiao Bai''s mood suddenly turned bad! He felt that he had to hide his thoughts so that Lan Shu could not find out. Now, Li Xuan in front of him is obviously an obstacle he wants to cover up¡ª He looked at Li Xuan, and suddenly became serious, "I don''t like anyone, I just like to study." This excuse is clumsy, but other than that, Xiao Bai has no better way to hide his thoughts. Women are emotionally sensitive, which men cannot understand. Gu Jue''s reaction at this time has already explained everything in Li Xuan''s eyes. (end of this chapter) Chapter 132: the days we walked together Chapter 132 The days we walked together Obviously, Lan Shu should not know about Gu Jue''s secret love. And Li Xuan couldn''t be more familiar with the feelings of secret love! Gu Jue didn''t want to say what was on his mind, and Li Xuan wouldn''t say it either. She didn''t want to add a love rival to herself. She wants to change Gu Jue''s impression of herself before Lan Shu knows Gu Jue''s intentions. Otherwise she would hardly have a chance¡ª "Gu Jue, I really like you, no matter whether you like others or not, I will never give up!" Li Xuan feels that no man will turn a blind eye to a woman who likes him. Since he has confessed his love, let Gu Jue have a deeper impression of him. Maybe once in a while he would think that someone likes him. The more he thought about it, the more he would be impressed with himself. After speaking, Li Xuan turned around and left knowingly. She doesn''t pester. She will only keep appearing to let Gu Jue get used to her existence. Women are born with a precocious relationship, especially a delicate person like Li Xuan. In comparison, even the twenty-six-year-old Gu Cheng, who is already an adult, does not handle emotions as well as Li Xuan. Lan Shu loathed her in the end after being pestered with a deadpan face. Although the other one didn''t get liked after confessing his love, any man other than Xiaobai might be affected by Li Xuan''s bravery and single-mindedness. It''s a pity that Li Xuan didn''t know about the days Xiaobai and Lanshu walked together. Between them, it wasn''t just that the Lan family kindly took in a teenager with amnesia. For Xiaobai, Lan Shu is both a friend and a teacher, from gratitude to worship, from willingness to let things go, from you being kind to me, and I am loyal to you. Although the time they spent together was only a few months, the things they experienced were beyond the imagination of ordinary people. ¡­ The next day, Linjiang City, Machinery Factory. These days, the order of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory has been completed, and four toilet roll production machines have been placed in the warehouse of the machinery factory. With the experience of designing and manufacturing toilet roll machines last time, the work efficiency in the factory has improved this time, and the machines have been manufactured without much man-hours. Tomorrow morning, these machines will be sent to Qingyang County Tissue Paper Factory. Linjiang Machinery Factory has its own truck, which is very convenient for delivery. As the designer of the machine, He Sunan was originally going to **** the car with the machine this time, but he had other jobs temporarily, so he had to arrange someone else for the delivery of the machine by the technicians in the factory. The head of the technical department thought about it for a while, and directly arranged for Xu Yunjie to go. Not for other reasons, but because last time Xu Yunjie disrespected Director Lan of the toilet paper factory in public. At that time, Xu Yunjie fainted from emotion, and had not had time to apologize to Director Lan in person. Now just taking advantage of this opportunity, he must ask Xu Yunjie to apologize to Director Lan, so as to ease Director Lan''s impression of their machinery factory. When Xu Yunjie received the job notice, he couldn''t imagine it! He immediately walked quickly to the staff lounge of the technical department and found the team leader. "Team leader! Can you arrange for someone else to go to Qingyang County to **** the car and deliver the machine?" Hearing Xu Yunjie''s words, the technical team leader in his thirties and forties with profound experience immediately ordered, "The work arrangement for this time has been finalized, and everyone else has their own jobs, so you must go!" In addition to the work that has been arranged, the head of the technical department has other considerations. After all, the toilet paper factory is the customer of their machinery factory, and the customer cannot be offended. In the future, everyone will have friendly exchanges, so that their factory can have a steady stream of orders. A few minutes later, when Xu Yunjie came out of the technical department leader''s lounge, Xu Yunjie was downcast with a gloomy expression. During this period of time, his life in the machinery factory was terrible! Because he offended Lan Shu, the director of the toilet paper factory, in public last time, his reputation was already bad. In addition, he was sent to the hospital and had no money to settle the bill. In the end, the factory sent someone to send the money before he could get out of the hospital. Although no one in the factory publicized this incident, how can there be an impenetrable wall for what happened? The situation has been spread for a long time and everyone in the factory knows about it! Even when he entrusted his girlfriend Li Xiumei to enter the factory to help arrange work for him, he immediately disclosed the news to Li Xiumei''s father after the incident happened. Xu Yunjie originally hoped that he could work hard in the machinery factory, make a name for himself, and then get the favor of his girlfriend''s father, and successfully marry a daughter-in-law in the city. After the incident happened, the Li family knew clearly that he was a poor ghost from the countryside! Knowing that he was admitted to the hospital, he didn''t even have a few dollars on him, and he was humiliated by being detained in the hospital! As a result, the relationship between him and Li Xiumei was originally reconciled, but a rift appeared again! ¡ª Although Xiumei did not listen to her family''s advice and broke up with him, who knows how long this situation will last? Xu Yunjie felt that he had to establish a relationship with Li Xiumei as soon as possible in order to completely keep her heart! So before going to Qingyang County, Xu Yunjie asked Li Xiumei to meet at night. ¡­ Linjiang City shopping mall, before the shopping mall got off work, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei came out of the shopping mall and returned with a full load. Li Xiumei didn''t even understand what Xu Yunjie was playing? Ask her out nicely, and take her to go shopping and buy clothes very generously. It just so happened that Li Xiumei fell in love with a new set of spring clothing from the ''Yun Shu'' brand these two days, and was about to buy it after paying her salary. Now that Xu Yunjie was willing to spend money, she naturally had nothing to say, so she followed suit. Li Xiumei didn''t know that the brand ''Yunshu'' had something to do with Lanshu. Even though the ''Yunshu'' brand of clothes was advertised in newspapers years ago, Li Xiumei did not associate the slender, beautiful and fashionable advertising model in the newspaper with Lanshu. There is a big difference between a person''s fat and thinness, and the way he dresses up! In addition, the printing pixels of the newspaper are blurred, so it can only be seen clearly. When Li Xiumei had seen Lan Shu at her thinnest, she was only about 120 kilograms, and she seemed to have a strong and fat body. As for Xu Yunjie, he never paid attention to newspapers, so he naturally didn''t know that Lan Shu had advertised the ''Yun Shu'' brand clothing. After the two finished shopping for clothes, Xu Yunjie proposed to take Li Xiumei to dinner. Li Xiumei was in the right mood and immediately agreed. She didn''t know that Xu Yunjie''s money for buying clothes and treating her to dinner was paid not long ago. In order to please his girlfriend, Xu Yunjie didn''t even pay back the money he borrowed from the workers at the Qingyang Machinery Factory this month. Dinner was eaten in a small restaurant on the side of the road. The two chatted while eating, and it was already past eight o''clock when they finished eating. Li Xiumei glanced at the time on the watch on her wrist, "It''s so late, I should go home." "I send you." As Xu Yunjie said, he got up and helped his girlfriend carry the clothes she bought today. (end of this chapter) Chapter 133: debt collection Chapter 133 Debt collection After paying the bill, Xu Yunjie accompanied Li Xiumei and walked towards her house. The location of the restaurant is some distance from Li Xiumei''s home. At this moment, the bus has stopped, and Xu Yunjie didn''t ride a bicycle, so he could only walk. Walking under the moonlight holding hands, even if they didn''t say anything, the atmosphere between the two was a little ambiguous. Unknowingly, Xu Yunjie brought Li Xiumei to a remote and deserted alley. Probably because the atmosphere was so good, the two of them didn''t know who took the initiative first, so they kissed naturally... Li Xiumei and Xu Yunjie have been in love since they were in college, but their relationship only stays in love, holding hands at most. After graduation, they separated for a year. After reuniting, their relationship did not develop further because of several relationship problems. But today, Xu Yunjie bought her clothes again, and ate dinner again. He talked sweetly and swore to each other, and Li Xiumei was delighted to hear it. So, when Xu Yunjie took her to a place where no one was around to kiss him, she didn''t refuse. But gradually, her mind and body became confused and warmed up because of this kiss... By the time Li Xiumei came back to her senses, she had completely become Xu Yunjie''s woman! Thinking of what Xu Yunjie did to her just now, although Li Xiumei knew that it was wrong to have a relationship with Xu Yunjie in advance, she didn''t have much thought of regretting it. Her patriarchal father in her family has been looking down on Xu Yunjie in various ways lately, and he wants her to break up with Xu Yunjie both explicitly and secretly. Think she doesn''t know? After she broke up, the family would definitely push her to go on a blind date again. Thinking that she might marry a bald old man in the future, Li Xiumei felt that she might as well choose Xu Yunjie in comparison. At least Xu Yunjie is not bad-looking, and he doesn''t look as disgusting as an old man. Now that the relationship between her and Xu Yunjie has reached this point, the family can no longer force her to go on a blind date with an old man, right? So this night, the intimate relationship between the two was just the result of their own thoughts. ¡­ The next day, Xu Yunjie followed the truck in the factory and brought four paper winding machines all the way from Linjiang City to Qingyang County. Xu Yunjie is no stranger to Qingyang County, but he has stayed in the county for more than a year. When Xu Yunjie came back again, apart from being very uncomfortable about seeing Lan Shu soon, Xu Yunjie also had worried thoughts. As soon as the truck arrived at the boundary of Qingyang County, Xu Yunjie was panicked. Especially near the toilet paper factory, he was even more nervous, for fear of meeting the former workers of the machinery factory. At the beginning, he owed more than 300 yuan to his fellow workers, but now he still has 260 yuan left. Before, he promised his fellow workers that he would pay back some money every month. But in the past two months, he spent a lot, so that he didn''t pay back the money according to the agreed time. Fortunately, he went to the Linjiang Machinery Factory, and those workers who were owed money could not stop working and come to him, so he was safe and sound on the way, and drove into the toilet paper factory smoothly in a truck. Arranged by the workshop director in charge of roll paper production at the toilet paper factory, delivery workers from the Linjiang Machinery Factory pulled the four roll roll machines to the workshop and assembled the machines in more than an hour. Before Xu Yunjie came, he thought he would meet Lan Shu at the toilet paper factory. Originally, he had expected several ways to respond after meeting people, but in the end he found that, with Lan Shu''s current status, it would not be easy for him to meet again. They sent the machine to the workshop today for assembly. When it was started for trial use, only the deputy factory manager came. It is said that the factory director is busy with affairs and has no time to come here. This made Xu Yunjie suddenly feel an indescribable complex emotion. The woman who was despised and despised by him in his eyes at the beginning is now standing tall and unattainable by him. When Xu Yunjie was about to leave the toilet paper factory with the car, he still felt an inexplicable loss and regret in his heart. If I hadn''t divorced Lan Shu back then, I wouldn''t be just a small worker in the Technical Department of the City Machinery Factory now... Just as he was thinking, there was a loud noise outside the toilet roll production workshop. It sounds like someone is making trouble. This made Xu Yunjie laugh out of curiosity. It seems that Lan Shu''s factory is not running smoothly. As soon as I came here, I was able to meet someone who came to make trouble! He was about to go out to see what was going on, but before he walked out of the workshop door, Xu Yunjie heard a few voices that sounded very familiar to him¡ª "Let''s go in, we promise we won''t mess around, and we won''t collide with your machines, we''re just here to find someone!" "Exactly! That scumbag Xu Yunjie finally came back to Qingyang County, we can''t just let him go! Otherwise, we don''t know when we will get our money back!" "Our machinery factory has a good relationship with your toilet paper factory, right? You were short of skilled workers back then, so it was He Yi from our factory who came to help in the factory. Brother, can you save face?" ¡­ Hearing this, what else does Xu Yunjie not understand? Before he returned to Qingyang County, the thing he was most worried about finally happened! He didn''t even know about the people from the machinery factory, so how could he know that he came to the toilet paper factory? Just like what the machinery factory workers outside the workshop said, the machinery factory has a good relationship with the toilet paper factory. In addition, the toilet paper factory is very profitable, and many single girls in the factory have become the focus of attention of single young men in the machinery factory. If they can marry an employee of a toilet paper factory, and the two of them will make money in the future, their living conditions will be absolutely affluent! So in the past two months, a few single young men with good appearance in the machinery factory have caught up with the female workers in the toilet paper factory. It just so happened that He Yi and Xu Yunjie were recommended by the machinery factory to come to the toilet paper factory a few months ago. When they followed the foreign technician Mark to learn how to use the sanitary napkin production machine, some female workers in the factory remembered Xu Yunjie''s appearance. Seeing Xu Yunjie here this time, I remembered that her boyfriend who works in the machinery factory said that there used to be a skilled worker in their factory who was the ex-husband of Director Lan. And that skilled worker named Xu Yunjie, after divorcing their factory manager Lan, got worse and worse, and still owes several employees in the factory hundreds of dollars. With these chances and coincidences, the news of Xu Yunjie''s visit to the toilet paper factory was spread. That''s why the workers of the machinery factory came to ask someone to collect debts! The employees of the machinery factory have all their debts collected in their toilet paper factory? In the office, Lan Shu heard the words of the staff from the toilet roll workshop who came to report the news. Although she hadn''t figured out the situation yet, she got up and walked out of the office first, and went to the roll paper workshop. (end of this chapter) Chapter 134: The previous relationship? Chapter 134 Love before? During the journey, Lan Shu finally understood what was going on. "The technician sent by Linjiang Machinery Factory to deliver the machine this time is Xu Yunjie?" Lan Shu thinks that the leaders of Linjiang Machinery Factory wouldn''t intentionally make her suffer, right? There are nothing more than two reasons why Xu Yunjie was able to come. One is that Xu Yunjie is coming by himself, and he is going to ask for forgiveness in front of her? Secondly, the leader of the Linjiang Machinery Factory sent Xu Yunjie here to apologize to her. No matter what the reason is, since it has something to do with her, she must go and have a look. ¡­ At this time, outside the toilet roll production workshop, the workers of the machinery factory could not enter the workshop, which gave Xu Yunjie a short respite. But judging from the current situation, if Xu Yunjie doesn''t plan to come forward and give an explanation, he can''t get out from here. In the end, Xu Yunjie must face the former workers at the machinery factory and explain the debts clearly. "Xu Yunjie, we know you are inside, come out! When will you pay back the money you owe us?!" "Xu Yunjie, I used to trust you so much in vain. I lent you the money without saying anything. Didn''t you say that you would pay me back after I got paid? But it''s been a few months?" "Xu Yunjie! Can you hide in it for a lifetime?" "Xu Yunjie, come out and give us an explanation!" ¡­ When Lan Shu came, she saw such a scene. The workers in my own factory stopped the workers in the machinery factory and prevented them from entering the workshop. This was the right thing to do. It was cheaper for Xu Yunjie, giving him a safe place to hide. At this time, seeing the director of the toilet paper factory came, several workers from the machinery factory immediately rushed forward, as if asking the leader to uphold justice. "Director Lan, did Xu Yunjie come to your factory today?" one person asked. "When Xu Yunjie left our machinery factory to work in the city''s machinery factory years ago, he still owed money to several people in our factory. We believed him at the beginning, so we didn''t urge him to repay the debt before leaving. As a result, he went to the city. After that, there is no news at all, do you plan to pay back our money!?" Another man grumbled. Lan Shu knew about Xu Yunjie borrowing money from a worker in the machinery factory. For Xu Yunjie, if he really wanted to pay back the money, it was actually within his tolerance. As long as he is frugal every month and persists for a year or so, he will definitely be able to pay back the money. It''s a pity that Xu Yunjie looks honest on the outside, but in fact he has a lot of calculations in his heart. Probably because he felt that his place of work was far away from the county seat, and no one was chasing after him to collect debts every month, so he relaxed himself and did something that violated his promise. He really deserves to be blocked here by his former co-workers! "Director Lan, can you let us in? We are only looking for Xu Yunjie, and we will not touch the machines in your factory." Someone said. "Director Lan, Xu Yunjie owes us money, you can''t just protect him based on your previous relationship~!" "That''s right, Director Lan, if we miss this opportunity to ask for money today, we don''t know when we will see Xu Yunjie next time!" An employee of a machinery factory expressed the collective aspirations of everyone. Although Lan Shu sympathizes with these people who are owed money, what some of them say is really unpleasant! "Previous relationship?" She sneered, "What kind of relationship do you think Xu Yunjie and I have?" Seeing that Director Lan got angry, several machinery factory workers immediately sought compensation. "Director Lan, don''t get me wrong, we are also worried..." They felt that after all, Lan Shu and Xu Yunjie had been married before, even though they separated later, but judging from men''s subjective thinking, women are soft-hearted and nostalgic. Who knows if Director Lan will protect Xu Yunjie? But now seeing Director Lan''s rebuttal attitude, they are relieved. Several people immediately apologized to Lan Shu. But Lan Shu remained indifferent, not intending to accept their apology. She doesn''t have a good impression of these people, but she doesn''t care too much about them. At this time, it is absolutely impossible for these outsiders to casually enter the workshop of their factory! And Xu Yunjie doesn''t have the qualifications to hide in her place all the time. Lan Shu turned her head and said to the workshop director in the factory, "Find some people and pull Xu Yunjie out." Xu Yunjie wanted to borrow his place to avoid debt? Don''t even think about it! With Director Lan''s words, the workshop workers of several toilet paper factories who were watching nearby immediately went into the workshop to find Xu Yunjie. Soon, Xu Yunjie in overalls was dragged by three or four toilet paper factory workers and pushed out of the workshop¡ª Being caught and driven away, Xu Yunjie shouted loudly, "Let me go! Let me go!" At this moment, he suddenly saw Lan Shu who was naturally surrounded by everyone outside the workshop gate¡ª Xu Yunjie did not expect that he would be approached by creditors to collect debts, but Lan Shu would see him. I and Lan Shu met in such the worst way! And Lan Shu didn''t care about their previous acquaintance, and even asked the workers of the toilet paper factory to drive him out of the workshop! "Lan Shu, you can''t treat me like this!" Xu Yunjie was embarrassed. He struggled hard and roared at Lan Shu. Besides, Lan Shu just glanced at Xu Yunjie lightly. "Why can''t I do this to you? What do you have to do with me?" She said coldly. Lan Shu doesn''t know who gave Xu Yunjie confidence and made Xu Yunjie think that he would help him? Xu Yunjie saw that Lan Shu didn''t think about his old relationship at all, and his emotions became agitated! While struggling, he yelled at the workers in the machinery factory who had lent him money back then. "The money I owe you is in Lan Shu''s hands! I gave her all the money, and you can ask her for it!" Xu Yunjie''s words stunned the toilet paper factory workers who caught him! The shares in the hands of their factory director Lan, if they were exchanged for money, they would be worth tens of thousands, would it be worse than Xu Yunjie? When the debt collection workers from the machinery factory heard Xu Yunjie''s words, they subconsciously looked at Lan Shu, their eyes flickering, and they even believed it. "Director Lan... Is what Xu Yunjie said true?" Ask this question, in fact, they feel more in their hearts that if they ask for the money from the factory manager Lan of the toilet paper factory, it will be easier to get it back! They finally understood that even if Xu Yunjie went to work in the Linjiang Machinery Factory, he didn''t have much money! But Director Lan is different. Their more than two hundred yuan, isn''t it just for Director Lan? Noticing the speculative eyes of several machinery factory workers looking at her, Lan Shu frowned. Looking at Xu Yunjie again, she almost laughed at Xu Yunjie''s biting behavior! "The money you gave me?" Lan Shu looked at Xu Yunjie fixedly, and asked in a cold voice. Then her voice changed, "That''s obviously the money you owe our family!" "The original account is already very clear, why? Now you want me to re-calculate with you?" she asked. (end of this chapter) Chapter 135: borrow money Chapter 135 Borrowing money Hearing what Lan Shu said, Xu Yunjie immediately panicked! He remembered very clearly how Lan Shu settled accounts with him back then. If Lan Shu speaks out, everyone around him must know that he is a person who even plans other people''s marriages in order to go to college! His reputation in Qingyang County Machinery Factory has been rotten, those things must not be let the colleagues of Linjiang City Machinery Factory know! However, Xu Yunjie did not expect that when Lan Shu said this, several old employees of the toilet paper factory nearby immediately remembered the story of "Ajie" and "Xiaomei" they had read in the newspaper. It is no secret that Xu Yunjie is "Ajie" in the machinery factory and toilet paper factory. So many people showed a clear expression. There are only a few machinery factory workers who have just been attracted by the debt collection farce. But soon, they listened to a few female workers at the toilet paper factory and explained the matter clearly in a few words. Now, everything that Xu Yunjie wanted to hide has been revealed! As for the employees of the machinery factory next door who were owed debts by Xu Yunjie, they couldn''t say what they wanted Director Lan to pay for Xu Yunjie... Lan Shu glanced at a few people, then waved her hand, asking the workers in her factory to release Xu Yunjie. She looked at the few people from the machinery factory who came to collect debts, and said lightly. "The person you are looking for is already here. You are free to handle things between you, but don''t stay in our factory." If the workers in the machinery factory didn''t talk nonsense and didn''t try to drag themselves, maybe she would allow them to settle the matter here. But now, the person who disgusts her, she only wants him to disappear before her eyes! Several machinery factory workers saw this and knew that they should not collect debts in other factories, so they stepped forward and dragged Xu Yunjie out of the toilet paper factory. So, Xu Yunjie, who was supposed to leave with the car and return to the Linjiang Machinery Factory, was detained in Qingyang County because of debt collection¡ª When the workers of Linjiang Machinery Factory in Qingyang County came to Qingyang County together with Xu Yunjie, they had no choice but to **** the car back by themselves. No one spoke a word for Xu Yunjie from the beginning to the end. Because of Xu Yunjie''s behavior of not repaying the money he owed, and his bad behavior of taking advantage of women''s feelings without achieving his goal, everyone will cast aside! ¡­ Xu Yunjie''s farce at the toilet paper factory will not affect the normal operation of the toilet paper factory. Under Lan Shu''s arrangement, the four machines newly delivered to the factory were put into use on the same day. Originally, there was only one machine to produce toilet paper rolls, but now the speed is five times faster. I believe it will not be long before the stock of toilet paper rolls in the factory reaches a quantity that can be officially sold! When she was about to leave work in the evening, Lan Shu received a call from abroad. "Lan Shu, my dear friend, I have good news for you~! The patent fee of 3,000 yuan from another factory that competes with your factory has been transferred to your factory''s account yesterday. Remember to check it in the next few days." It is not the time to transfer money in seconds, and there is a delay in domestic and foreign transfers, so I can only check the bill in a few days. Learning the news and having money in the account finally made Lan Shu feel a little happier. "Mark, thank you. When I have a chance to come here next time, I will treat you to dinner." As Lan Shu said, Mark was also obviously very happy. "Of course! It just so happens that our new model of machine is almost ready. In a few days, I will send the machine over and let''s get together." Lan Shu was completely happy when she learned that the five new sanitary napkin production machines ordered by the factory would be delivered soon. "Okay, then I will always be ready to meet you." "Then we''ll see you then~" Mark replied. The cost of international calls was too high, but the two couldn''t bear to keep chatting, so the two sides said goodbye quickly after finishing their business, and ended the call. Before it got dark at night, Lan Shu left the factory on her Phoenix bicycle. For Lan Shu, it was a day full of good news, but for Xu Yunjie, it was a day without dignity and humiliation! ¡­ The next morning, Xu Yunjie woke up from the table in the trade union mediation room. Sleeping on the table all night, his legs were numb from the cold, his whole body was shaking, and his nose kept running. Yesterday, those few of his former workers in the machinery factory took him out of the toilet paper factory and sent him directly to the union! Xu Yunjie never imagined that he threatened Lan Shu to divorce by sending him to the labor union, but now he himself is detained in the labor union. Xu Yunjie has some knowledge about the situation of the trade union. His behavior of not paying back the money he owes will be mediated here, and it is best to be able to resolve it. Otherwise, if he doesn''t pay the bill again, the money he owes to others will be reported to his current workplace in Linjiang City through the trade union. At that time, it will not only be embarrassing, it is very likely that the Linjiang Machinery Factory will directly expel him from the factory because of his bad behavior! Xu Yunjie felt that if he lost his job because of more than 200 yuan, and his body was stained with ideological and political stains, then his future would be over! He must not allow himself to fall to that point! So Xu Yunjie was not afraid of embarrassment, and asked someone to send a letter to his home, asking his family to help him find a way with money. But his family was already poor, barely making ends meet. He has worked for more than a year, and he has never received a point from his family. Before he was beaten for divorce, the fifty yuan his elder sister gave him was all in exchange for beatings. Because the eldest sister turned to her natal family and gave money to her younger brother, the eldest sister Xu has been at odds with her husband and wife, and the family house is uneasy, so she really can''t afford the money. Except for Eldest Sister Xu, Second Sister Xu and Third Sister Xu have no right to speak in the in-laws'' family after they get married, and they have no money to take. Fourth Sister Xu and Fifth Sister Xu could give some, but the two put together more than 80 yuan. This amount is far from two hundred and sixty! Xu Yunjie was so helpless, he even asked his fellow workers to give him another chance, and he would pay back the money slowly. But for those who have broken their promises, no one will believe him anymore. In desperation, Xu Yunjie had no choice but to contact his girlfriend Li Xiumei... ¡­ In Linjiang City, when Li Xiumei received a call from Xu Yunjie, she had just come to work not long ago. Their work unit has a phone number. Before Xu Yunjie came to her, he always invited her to eat and go shopping. But this time, Li Xiumei heard that Xu Yunjie actually borrowed money from her! And the loan is two hundred yuan! "Xu Yunjie, are you crazy? How can I have so much money?" Li Xiumei''s salary is not as high as Xu Yunjie''s. After she graduated, she stayed at home for several months before waiting for a job arrangement. It''s only been five months since she went to work. Even if she saves all her wages and doesn''t spend a cent, she doesn''t have two hundred yuan! (end of this chapter) Chapter 136: completion! Chapter 136 is over! "Xiumei, help me, if I don''t have this money, I won''t be able to keep my job!" "And you don''t want me to stay in the game for a while, do you? If that''s the case, how can I be with you in the future?" Hearing what Xu Yunjie said on the phone, he lost his job and got into trouble again. Li Xiumei knew that something must have happened! If Xu Yunjie had been in trouble before, she would have just broken up. But now, she is already Xu Yunjie''s person. If she can''t be with Xu Yunjie, then who will marry her as a broken shoe in the future? Xu Yunjie also grasped this point, which is why he dared to speak to Li Xiumei. At this moment, he was even glad that he had a further relationship with Li Xiumei before coming to Qingyang County. "Xu Yunjie, didn''t you plan to kill me a long time ago?!" Li Xiumei suddenly felt that the night before yesterday Xu Yunjie took her to the mall to buy clothes, took her to a restaurant for dinner, and then took her into a small alley... Did Xu Yunjie premeditate? ! "I didn''t! Xiumei, you have to believe me, I really want to spend my whole life with you! Can you help me this time? After this matter is over, I will definitely treat you well!" Xu Yunjie has come to this point now, as long as Li Xiumei can help him, he can say anything. But where is Li Xiumei easy to fool? "Xu Yunjie, you bastard! You''ve been lying to me, haven''t you? You didn''t tell me that you were married from the beginning, making me foolishly think that you were single all the time. If I hadn''t found out later, I wouldn''t have known you were still there. There is a debt owed outside! Now you actually..." Li Xiumei didn''t continue talking, because she found that in the lobby of the unit where she was answering the phone, many colleagues looked at her because of her out-of-control reprimand¡ª Li Xiumei thought of what she just said, and her expression changed instantly! Now everyone knows that her boyfriend is a divorcee, and he owes debts outside? When such a situation happened, she didn''t know what her colleagues would think of her in the future? ! A woman''s reputation is very important. If these words spread, which man will approach her in the future? In addition to the fact that she and Xu Yunjie had done intimate things, Li Xiumei knew that she was finished! Now she can choose only Xu Yunjie¡ª¡ª Li Xiumei took a deep breath, turned to Xu Yunjie on the other side of the phone, almost gritted her molars and said, "Wait, I''ll borrow money!" But even if she lowered her voice intentionally, she couldn''t escape the ears of a female colleague who was closer to her. The female colleague muttered in her heart, I didn''t expect it~ I didn''t expect that Li Xiumei usually looked like a gentle, kind and good girl in the work unit, but she turned out to be like this in private! Being a mistress, the date is still in debt, and now she wants to borrow money for her idiot date. I really don''t know what Li Xiumei thinks! That kind of useless man is really so attractive to her? But this is Li Xiumei''s own decision, she has no control over it. But soon, she found Li Xiumei walking towards her, "Xiao Min, I want to borrow some money from you..." ¡­ Two days later, Xu Yunjie finally left Qingyang County. For him, Li Xiumei not only advanced two months'' wages with her unit, but also borrowed money from her colleagues with shame. Although her family has two hundred yuan, she must not let her family know about it! Otherwise, apart from the fact that her family would no longer agree with her dating Xu Yunjie, even if she was with Xu Yunjie in the future, her brothers would look down on her. Bitch! So Li Xiumei concealed it from her family and resisted this incident by herself. After she borrowed money, she took a day off and went to Qingyang County. After meeting Xu Yunjie and helping Xu Yunjie pay off his debts, she and Xu Yunjie returned to Linjiang City together. Although Li Xiumei helped Xu Yunjie this time, she no longer has a good face towards Xu Yunjie. Li Xiumei couldn''t figure it out. Originally, she thought Xu Yunjie was a good marriage partner, but what happened in the past few months repeatedly refreshed Li Xiumei''s beautiful fantasy of Xu Yunjie as an ''excellent partner''. But the reality is already like this, she can only marry Xu Yunjie. Even if she and Xu Yunjie become a bitter couple in the future, this is her fate. Forget it, she and Xu Yunjie will make do with each other from now on. ¡­ A few days later, Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. Because there are five paper rolling machines in the factory, the machines have been working in two shifts day and night for more than a week, and the production volume of toilet paper rolls has reached the external sales volume that Lan Shu initially set. The reason why they sell out after they have stock is also because Lan Shu is afraid that the sales of roll toilet paper in their factory are too good, and they will be sold out as soon as they arrive on the market. Toilet paper is a consumable and cheap product. The trick of using rare things for this kind of thing will not work, but it will easily cause consumers to complain. So to be on the safe side, we still need a large amount of inventory. Now there are things, and the sales channels are easy to spread on the basis of the previous sanitary napkins. The delivery fleet that has maintained a cooperative relationship with the factory guarantees that these rolls of toilet paper will be delivered to various sales channel stores in major cities such as Kyoto, Haicheng, and Yuanping within two days. As for Linjiang City and surrounding counties, as well as other cities not far away, it can be delivered within one day. Here, the rolls of toilet paper had just been sent out in the morning, and in the afternoon, Mark took the big truck and delivered the five new sanitary napkin production machines ordered by the factory to¡ª Lanshu has long prepared a large vacant workshop for new machines, and five machines are placed in two workshops. After the machine arrived, the factory immediately invited He Yi, a technician from the machinery factory next door, and two workers from the toilet paper factory who had learned how to use the machine and simple maintenance from Mark before. The three of them still had a week to study time. This is the fourth time that He Yi has learned machine maintenance from Mark, and his maintenance skills have been recognized by Mark. According to Mark, although He Yi''s repair level is not as strong as that of Xiao Baiqiang, but the basic faults on the machine can also be repaired. For this reason, Lan Shu even came up with the idea of ??poaching He Yi from the machinery factory to their factory. It''s just that it would be unfair to do so, so Lan Shu didn''t mention it. That afternoon, after Lan Shu¡¯s on-site understanding of the new sanitary napkin production machine, in addition to testing that the production speed of the new machine was doubled, the quality of the sanitary napkins produced by the new machine was indeed upgraded. After asking Mark about the basic situation of machine production, Lan Shu already had a preliminary plan for the new sanitary napkins to be produced in the factory in the future. In the original sanitary napkin, the upper layer of the non-woven fabric has a poor water absorption effect, and the comfort is not good. In the next step, she plans to work on the upper water-absorbing and breathable layer first. In addition to improving the non-woven fabric, it is time to make sanitary napkins with a cotton surface. (end of this chapter) Chapter 137: a bit magical Chapter 137 is a bit magical Cotton surface layer has better water absorption and skin-friendly effect. This is certain. If it can be produced, it will definitely be more popular. But using cotton to make sanitary napkins will cost a lot, which is a bit extravagant in this era, and the possibility of mass production is not high. So on the basis of ordinary sanitary napkins, Lan Shu felt that the factory could try to make a high-end sanitary napkin. The price of high-end sanitary napkins goes up, even if the sales volume is not much, but the profit is still considerable. Especially in big cities such as Haicheng, Yuanping, and Kyoto, where there are many wealthy people, the sales of high-end sanitary napkins can also be guaranteed. Knowing Lan Shu''s thoughts, Mark was surprised and curious, "Use cotton as a sanitary napkin?" Even though he is a male technician in a machine factory, he is really looking forward to Lan Shu''s wonderful idea. "Lan Shu, my friend, you are simply an inventor!" Mark exclaimed. Being able to get such praise from Mark, Lan Shu just smiled, "I''m not an inventor, I just can look forward to the future!" No matter how much more, Lan Shu didn''t say anything. But even so, with her ability to foresight, in Mark''s heart, Lan Shu is already a very good friend in his circle of friends! Looking at the current development of the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu felt relieved. Thinking that at the beginning she just wanted to solve the convenience of using sanitary napkins for herself, and now the factory is developing rapidly, which makes her feel a sense of accomplishment spontaneously! Lan Shu felt that she already liked the feeling of starting a business. She will be on this road, going on¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Kyoto, Kyoto University School of Medicine. Xiaobai has been in school for a week. He became a freshman in the college, and started an intense medical life with a group of young men and women who were determined to embark on the path of medicine. Although Xiaobai wants to develop towards pharmacology, every medical student must know the most basic things in medicine. So in addition to theoretical knowledge, acupuncture, anatomy, suture, and other items have become his daily essential learning content. Perhaps he is really born with this material, with extraordinary talent. When other students were still worrying about getting the needle and didn''t dare to do it, he was able to accurately insert the needle into the blood vessel. In anatomy, his face remained unchanged, his hands were quick and steady, and in suturing, his hands with fair complexion like jade and well-defined knuckles moved neatly. After a few classes, the whole school knew that among the first-year freshmen, there was a junior who was admitted with super learning ability and perfect theoretical knowledge. The key is that the juniors are still good-looking. Every time they go to the school cafeteria, they can see many school girls shyly peeping at the juniors, which makes the boys in the whole school envious. Since school started, Xiaobai hasn''t called Lan Shu again. It''s not that he doesn''t want to fight, but that he deliberately restrains himself. He was afraid that if he called too often, if he accidentally said something, Lan Shu would be aware of his thoughts. Besides, he is still just an incompetent freshman in the school. He wants to wait for himself to get some grades before telling Lan Shu the good news. In the classroom, Xiaobai was stopped by the teacher just after one class ended¡ª "Gu Jue, come to the office with me." If it wasn''t for Mr. Feng, who was over forty years old, with a kind smile on his face when he said this, others would definitely misunderstand him for doing something wrong! Under the curious eyes of other students, Xiaobai walked away from Teacher Feng calmly. In the office, what Teacher Feng said was about letting him skip a grade. This matter is not only his idea, but also the decision of Professor Zhang in the school. After more than a week of observation, Gu Jue has made rapid progress in his studies! Whether it is theory or practice, he is far behind the freshman students. In such a situation, it would be a waste of time to let him stay in the first grade and follow everyone to continue studying at a slow pace. Besides, there is such a classmate who is far ahead in all aspects in the class. It is also very stressful for other ordinary students, and it is not even conducive to their physical and mental growth on the road of medicine. After combining various reasons, the school decided to let Gu Jue advance to the second grade. The teacher called him this time, not to ask for opinions, but to announce the decision of the head of the school. Knowing that he can skip a grade, Xiao Bai had a gentle smile on his originally indifferent face. He felt that he finally had a suitable reason to call Lan Shu¡ª In front of the teacher, he nodded slightly and replied, "Okay." ¡­ Two days later, the weekend. Xiaobai got home and immediately called the toilet paper factory. It was morning, and the factory was busy. When the phone rang, Secretary Qu answered it. Knowing that Lan Shu is not at the toilet paper factory, but has gone to the garment factory, Xiaobai hung up the phone, changed the number and dialed out¡ª A few minutes later, he finally heard Lan Shu''s voice on the phone. "Xiaobai, are you on vacation for the weekend?" Lan Shu listened to the phone while looking at the monthly financial statement that Finance Zhai had just brought. The business of the clothing factory is gratifying. After dozens of agency stores have become direct-operated stores, the unified brand signboard has attracted widespread attention from the public in Linjiang City and various counties. Brand effect also follows¡ª Nowadays, many people buy clothes from the ''Yunshu'' brand as a way to show off. After realizing this, many original agency stores have gradually turned into directly-operated stores. Now their clothing factory has more than 60 directly-operated stores! In addition, the eleven sales staff in the factory have gone to more cities. The plan is to spread the direct-sale stores of ''Yunshu'' brand clothing all over the entire Hedong Province within three months¡ª At this time, Xiaobai didn''t know that Lan Shu was busy on the phone. When he heard Lan Shu''s question, he immediately replied, "Well, it''s a holiday." After finishing speaking, Xiaobai still did not forget the purpose of his call today. "Sister Lan, I have skipped to the second grade now." Lan Shu: ...? As soon as she heard Xiaobai''s words, she immediately regained her original mood of devoting herself to work, and her hand holding the phone paused. "Skipping a grade? Did you skip to a higher grade because of your good academic performance?" she asked. After getting Xiaobai''s affirmative answer, Lan Shu was stunned! "But don''t you only have one week to start school? Skip directly to the second grade in one week?" Lan Shu suddenly felt that the news was a bit magical. That''s medical school~! Can you skip a level if you want to? ? ? However, she doesn''t know now that Xiaobai''s jump is just the beginning... "Sister Lan, this summer vacation, I will go to Qingyang County to find you, okay?" "Okay, welcome to play anytime." Speaking, Lan Shu put aside the financial statement in her hand. "When is it coming, tell me." After speaking, Lan Shu was already thinking about where Xiaobai would live after he arrived. Now that she is considered rich, she should also consider buying a house to tidy up, so that after Xiaobai comes, she can live in a better place. (end of this chapter) Chapter 138: ??? Chapter 138? ? ? After chatting with Xiaobai for more than half an hour, Lan Shu hung up the phone. Nowadays, the phone bill is one yuan per minute, and it is still charged in both directions. At the moment they are chatting, the combined phone bills of both parties are more than 60 yuan. If the money is used to rent a house, two floors of a small building with a yard can be rented for two months! After Lan Shu quickly settled the account in her mind, she decided that she should buy a house quickly and let Xiao Bai live in it during the summer vacation. Otherwise, when Xiaobai is free on vacation, the phone calls between them will definitely not be less. Maybe the phone bill between the two can be saved, enough to buy a house! So when it came to buying a house, Lan Shu asked Secretary Tang to help her pay more attention to whether there were any vacant houses for sale near the factory the next day. Secretary Tang''s work efficiency is getting higher and higher now. She just found a few sewing girls who work in the factory and live nearby to find out the situation. By the next day, Secretary Tang already had two houses available for purchase as options, and told Lan Shu the news. After getting off work at noon, Lan Shu went to look at the house under the leadership of Secretary Tang. According to Lan Shu''s request, these two apartments have yards, less than two kilometers away from the nearby industrial area. It takes more than ten minutes to walk, and only five or six minutes to ride a bicycle. Among the two suites, one is a small building with six rooms, three rooms on the upper and lower floors, and a separate kitchen and dry toilet. The other set is a five-story house with a yard of sixty to seventy square meters, a kitchen and a toilet, and the price is 50 yuan cheaper than the first set. After reading it, Lan Shu decided to buy the second bungalow with a large courtyard. With five rooms of land and a large yard, it is obvious that this bungalow will be worth more in the future! Now it seems that it is not a small building, and it seems that it is not as valuable as the first set, but the land will be the most expensive in the future! After deciding on the house to buy, Lan Shu knew that the owner was not in Qingyang County, but was working in Linjiang City. The homeowner entrusted relatives to help find a buyer for the sale of the house, and the homeowner will come back when the house is paid, signed and transferred. Lan Shu has made an appointment with the relatives of the homeowner. They will inform the homeowner to go back to Qingyang County next Saturday to settle the house sale. After the matter of the house was settled, it was regarded as an end to Lan Shu''s heart. This Sunday, the factory was supposed to be resting, but Secretary Tang followed her all morning because of her personal affairs. "Secretary Tang, thank you for your hard work." Lan Shu said, planning to take Secretary Tang to a restaurant for dinner. But before going there, she has to go back to the toilet paper factory. The working conditions of the garment factory are six days off and one day off. Of course, workers who are willing to work overtime on weekends to make more money will not be rejected by the factory. As for the toilet paper factory, there are no weekends and rest days. The employees work in two shifts during the day and at night, and rest depends on scheduling. This kind of workload is not because Lan Shu black-heartedly oppressed the workers, but because all the workers in the factory think that it is best to work more and earn more wages! In this era, labor is the most glorious, and making money is the last word! Secretary Tang originally didn''t intend to let Factory Manager Lan invite her to dinner. As the factory director''s secretary, it''s nothing for her to help the factory manager with such a small matter. But even though she repeatedly waved her hands and said you''re welcome, Lan Shu still felt sorry. She found a reason that she still had some work matters to explain during dinner later, and Secretary Tang nodded in agreement. So, Secretary Tang followed Lan Shu and wanted to go to the toilet paper factory first. At this time, outside the door of the toilet paper factory, Lan Dazhuang parked the tractor at the gate and stood beside the tractor waiting for someone. Lan Dazhuang came to the county today to collect wheat bran and sell eggs. On the free-range chicken farm, some hens have started laying eggs last month, and nearly a thousand eggs have been stored in one month. A few days ago he told my little sister the good news. Regarding the sale of eggs, Lan Shu asked Lan Dazhuang to send the eggs to the factory if he had time to go to the city. Since the toilet paper factory bought the entire paper factory building, Deputy Director Zhu suggested that the factory should open a staff canteen. The situation at the cafeteria was arranged by Deputy Director Zhu, and it has already opened. Nowadays, in a factory with one or two hundred people, it is still very easy to consume a thousand eggs. In addition to selling eggs, according to the plan, there will be another two months, around the end of April or early May, when the chicken farm is going to start hatching chickens, and by then a lot of wheat bran will be consumed every day! In the past few months, Lan Dazhuang would take a cart of wheat bran home every month, and his family had specially vacated a room for piling up wheat bran. Now there is a whole room full of wheat bran. Wheat bran is something that is well prepared. Before the chickens nest, he tries to collect as much as possible, so that when he needs it, he will not be afraid that the chicken farm will be short of feed. After waiting for a while at the gate of the factory, Lan Dazhuang saw his little sister appear as agreed. Little sister is wearing a pair of black narrow-leg pants, half-heeled low-waist leather boots, a white turtleneck sweater, and a dark brown loose-waisted coat today. Her long hair is naturally scattered on the shoulders. Even if it is cold and the clothes are thick, it is not difficult to see her waist and long legs in such a dress. Looking at the appearance of the little girl walking all the way, Lan Dazhuang suddenly understood the meaning of the word ''temperament''. Lan Dazhuang noticed that the little girl was accompanied by another girl, who was wearing blue jeans, a short cotton coat with a light pink fur collar, and a ponytail. The girl is obviously about the same height as the younger sister, but in Lan Dazhuang''s eyes, she is just a small girl. "Brother, how long have you been waiting?" Lan Shu''s voice sounded, which brought Lan Dazhuang back to his senses. He was slightly taken aback, then turned his eyes away from the girl beside Xiaomei and looked at Lan Shu. "Not long ago, I just arrived." Lan Dazhuang replied, and then said, "Little sister, I brought the eggs, and I will send them in for you later." After finishing speaking, he set his eyes on Secretary Tang beside Lan Shu, "Hello, my name is Lan Ande, and I''m the eldest brother of Lan Shu''s family." Lan Shu:? ? ? Her first reaction, who is Lan Ande? If it wasn''t for watching the elder brother introduce himself, Lan Shu really wouldn''t know his elder brother''s real name when he first heard the name. Well done, his elder brother suddenly introduced his real name to the girl, no matter how stupid Lan Shu is in this situation, he can still see the problem~! Is her elder brother interested in Secretary Tang? Aside, Secretary Tang met Director Lan''s family for the first time. When they met for the first time, she looked at him twice more because of the tall and strong figure of the big brother of the Lan family. The man in front of him should be 1.8 meters tall! ? Although the eldest brother of the Lan family is a farmer, his face is tanned, but if you look closely, he looks good, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks honest and reliable when he smiles. (end of this chapter) Chapter 139: What kind of social cow is this? Chapter 139 What kind of social cow is this? "Hello, my name is Tang Chu, and I''m the secretary in Director Lan''s clothing factory." Secretary Tang returned. When Lan Dazhuang heard the little girl''s name, he showed a silly smile on his face, but his eyes were shining brightly. Seeing her eldest brother like this, what else can Lan Shu not understand? Although she hoped that her elder brother could find a partner, get married and have a family, Tang Chu was also a good girl, worthy of her elder brother. But Lan Shu was a little worried. With his big brother''s burly and strong body, could she like a thin girl like Secretary Tang who could even be called delicate? So even if Lan Shu wants to let Tang Chu know that her eldest brother is still single, but the meaning of matching is too obvious. She is afraid that Secretary Tang will be embarrassed, so she chooses to remain silent. But she didn''t say anything, but Lan Dazhuang couldn''t say nothing. After finally meeting a girl he likes immediately, he must work hard to express himself. "Tang Chu, what a nice name." Lan Dazhuang almost wrote the word "happiness" on his face. Then he continued, "I am twenty-six years old, and I have no partner yet. Apart from my parents, there are only two younger brothers and one younger sister..." Listening to my elder brother''s opening, he is introducing himself and his family situation. Lan Shu:? ? ? Her elder brother is too fierce! What kind of social cow is this? When two strangers meet for the first time, the immediate start is a blind date scene? Besides, Tang Chu was also a little scared by the words of the boss of the blue factory. She raised her eyes, met the gaze of the big brother of the Lan family, and thought of what the big brother of the Lan family said just now, and then realized that the big brother of the factory director...had a good impression of her? Tang Chu had never been so clearly shown affection by a man before. Now that she understood the situation at the moment, she blushed with embarrassment. Lan Shu saw it, and found that Secretary Tang did not reject her elder brother''s "self-promotion", but became shy. Such a performance made Lan Shu suddenly feel that she was a bit redundant here? In the end, Lan Shu interrupted the delicate atmosphere between the two. "Brother, haven''t you eaten yet? After delivering the eggs later, let''s go have a meal together." "Us?" Hearing what the little girl said, Lan Dazhuang subconsciously glanced at Tang Chu who was on the side. Afterwards, he gave his little sister a ''good'' expression, not too obvious, and then said with a smile, "Okay, let''s have dinner together." Lan Shu: ¡­ She really didn''t mean to match, brother misunderstood... Tang Chu also took a look at Director Lan, seeing that Director Lan did not reject the favor of her elder brother from the Lan family, she was even slightly relieved from the bottom of her heart. Then he raised his head and glanced at Big Brother Lan, his face became even redder~! Blue Ande... Tang Chu didn¡¯t say it, but the name of the big brother of the Lan family is also very nice~ ¡­ During lunch, Lan Shu realized that she was really... quite redundant! She thought Secretary Tang wouldn''t like a rough guy like her elder brother, but she didn''t expect that everyone''s aesthetics are different. Seeing Secretary Tang''s increasingly shy performance in front of her elder brother, and the goodwill that could almost be seen in his eyes, Lan Shu immediately found a reason to leave after eating and paying the bill. Before leaving, Lan Shu didn''t forget to tell her elder brother to take her with her when she returned to the village after collecting the wheat bran in the afternoon. Since she came back from Kyoto during the Chinese New Year, Lan Shu has been busy with the affairs of the two factories, and she hasn''t had time to go home to have a look. Now that the situation in the two factories has temporarily stabilized, she finally has time to go back to see her adoptive parents. So after Lan Dazhuang finished his work in the afternoon, in the evening, Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village on his eldest brother''s tractor¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Peking University School of Medicine, Monday. Xiaobai''s procedure for skipping a grade was completed before class started on Monday. He didn''t even have time to say hello to his former classmates before he arrived in the second grade class. A group of sophomores who have studied medical knowledge for a year are very curious about this incoming freshman who skipped a grade and transferred to their class. In a class of 30 to 40 people, almost 80% of them are waiting to see how capable the elementary school students who come to their class are. As a result, from the first class, Xiaobai showed a group of students what a genius is! And what is talent! For a sewing course, sophomores with one year of study experience have already sewed banana peels very neatly. As for Xiaobai''s suture, the position of each pinhole, the length and spacing of each suture line are exactly the same. The stitching is so neat that it doesn''t look like a handmade product, but more like the wiring of a machine! What exactly is tidiness? Only at this time did the whole class have a correct understanding of the word "neatness"¡ª In addition to sutures, the deep knots used for surgery were also impeccably completed by Xiaobai. Seeing that he can easily tie the knot in a container that is more than ten centimeters deep and less than ten centimeters in diameter, the students in the whole class wonder, is this really a freshman who has only been enrolled for a week? ! Can freshmen be sutured and knotted so quickly and neatly? In contrast, those who have studied for a year and feel that they are seniors and sisters, waiting to see if their juniors are not enough, are really slapped in the face by reality! The reason why Xiaobai can do these things, and do them well, is actually not a natural talent. He has spent a lot of time with his grandfather since he was a child. He has undergone various trainings in the army, and he has quite high control over his eyes and hands. So when he learns to sew and deep knots, he only needs to be a little proficient in this process, and he can finish it very well in no time! So in the morning, the students in the class still doubted whether Gu Jue had the ability to skip grades. By the afternoon, everyone had accepted this freshman who could definitely be called a medical genius! However, they didn''t know that such a young surgeon''s ambition lies in the study of medicine. The outstanding ability he has shown today is just a result of his medical career. The learning goals of ordinary medical students and gifted medical students are not the same... ¡­ Qingyang County, Tianshui Village. After Lan Shu came back, she had lived at home for two days. During the two days of leisurely life in the village, time seems to have slowed down, and Lan Shu enjoyed this rare pastoral time very much. On the first day back home, Lan Shu followed her elder brother up the back mountain to see the growth of the three orchards on the mountain. Spring is here, and the weather next month will be the most suitable for planting. Lan Shu discussed with her elder brother and planned to plant a few more orchards in the back mountain. Before she planted apples, pears, and kiwis, she plans to plant some more peach forests, including honey peaches and yellow peaches. Especially yellow peaches, home-grown peaches, made into canned yellow peaches, will definitely have a better audience than canned oranges, even canned pineapple. You know, after decades, canned yellow peaches will be the mainstream¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 140: what a joke Chapter 140 What a joke When she decided to plant an orchard in the back mountain, Lan Shu had already thought about the future sales of these fruits. In addition to selling apples, pears and kiwis directly, they can also be made into various juice drinks. Such as rock sugar pear drink, and kiwi fruit juice, one clears the lungs and moisturizes the throat, and the other promotes digestion and regulates blood pressure. They are all quite nutritious and nourishing. Peach trees will be planted later, and the peaches produced are also very good for making juice. With the addition of canned yellow peaches, Lan Shu already has the prototype of a small fruit processing factory in her mind. This processing plant doesn¡¯t need to be very large, just produce and sell it yourself. Lan Shu, who has already managed two factories, is very confident about the future development of the fruit factory. In addition to the orchard, Lan Shu also visited the free-range chicken farm on the mountain. At the beginning, there were more than 160 chickens, of which there were less than 100 hens and more than 70 roosters. Although mountain chickens cannot be compared with broiler chickens, in the past four months or so, the roosters have now grown to weigh more than two catties and can be sold at any time. The hens began to lay eggs one after another, and by selling the eggs, they could earn a hundred and ten yuan a month. In general, chicken farms are already profitable. This is just now. In the second half of the year, the chicks hatched in the chicken farm will grow again, and the monthly income will be quite considerable by then! In the past two days, apart from going up the mountain, Lan Shu still doesn¡¯t forget to cook and deliver meals to her parents at noon every day. The village primary school has started classes, Chang Chunfang has to go to school every day, and Lan Shengli also has things to do. Now that the baby girl is back, she made delicious food for them, and she was so hungry for the children in the school and the village cadres in the village. Every time Lan Shu delivers meals and walks in the village, all the villagers who see her can''t help being amazed! At first, no one recognized such a good-looking and foreign-looking girl. Could it be the lazy, fat girl from the Lan family? Later, when they learned that the beautiful woman from the village was Lan Shu, many people secretly laughed at the Xu family, saying that the Xu family really had no eyes! I just missed such a beautiful daughter-in-law¡ª Tianshui Village, Xu''s family. Xu Yunjie''s old mother only found out about Lan Shu''s return to the village the day after she returned to the village. Mrs. Xu also wants to know what Lan Shu has become. Is it worth those tongue-twisting old women in the village to gossip in front of her? So at noon that day, Mrs. Xu deliberately stood by on Lan Shu''s way to deliver meals to elementary school, to see if Lan Shu was really what those people in the village said she was. Not long after, Mrs. Xu saw a girl wearing light blue jeans, black low-waist leather boots, and a light gray short woolen coat with fine checkered pattern, walking all the way here. The girl has her long hair **** high behind her head. Even in winter, she can still see her slender figure. According to Mrs. Xu, the girl has big eyes, a high nose bridge, and ruddy lips. Against the background of pink and white skin, that small face looks good no matter what! Even when she saw it for the first time, Mrs. Xu felt her eyes light up¡ª¡ª Is that Lan Shu? Mrs. Xu had never seen Lan Shu lose weight completely, but she just couldn''t believe it when she saw it now! Lan Shu is such an ugly and chubby girl, how can she look so good-looking when she loses weight? In order to verify her conjecture, Mrs. Xu yelled at the beautiful girl, "Lanshu¡ª" When Lan Shu heard the voice, she stopped and looked at Mrs. Xu. The two of them looked at each other, and Mrs. Xu was sure right away that that pretty, outrageous little girl was really the fat and ugly slob Lan Shu that his son married back then! At this moment, Mrs. Xu finally understood the reason why those gossiping women in the village said that their family was blind! Who can have such a beautiful daughter-in-law, she must have a bright face! Even though she knew that her son had a partner in the city, Mrs. Xu still felt a little regretful. Lan Shu saw Mrs. Xu for the first time, but didn''t immediately recognize who she was. But the bitter voice made her gradually recall the identity of the other party. That''s...Xu Yunjie his mother? Lan Shu didn''t know the reason why Xu''s old lady stopped her here, but she didn''t want to pay any attention to this kind of person. Seeing Lan Shu''s ignoring attitude towards her, and the way she didn''t bother to pay attention to her, Mrs. Xu was so angry~! "What are you proud of! Isn''t it just that you have lost weight? No matter how good-looking she is, she is still a country girl! My son has found a partner in the city!" Mrs. Xu was quite proud of this. Who in the entire Tianshui Village can be better than her son? Even the son of the village head''s family has no ability to contact the girls in the city. Lan Shu had already walked more than ten meters away, but when she heard Xu Yunjie''s mother''s words, she stopped immediately. Country girl? That''s right, the fact that she is not Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang''s biological daughter has not been spread. Because this matter has nothing to do with the villagers, it doesn¡¯t matter whether you say it or not, as long as your family knows it. As for Xu Yunjie finding a partner in the city... Lan Shu turned around and looked at Xu''s old lady. "Your son didn''t find a partner in the city, but when he and I got engaged and went to college, he made a girlfriend at school. After I got married, he kept in touch with his girlfriend." "It doesn''t matter to me what kind of partner your son is, a garbage man with corrupt moral character, now!" Lan Shu said coldly. It was noon at this time, and there were not a few people returning home from work in the field in twos and threes. Lan Shu even raised her voice intentionally when speaking. Therefore, Xu Yunjie was cheating on the news when he was engaged and married to the daughter of the Lan family. , Immediately spread to everyone''s ears¡ª That''s why Mrs. Xu used to show off that her son found a girl from the city to be his partner. In fact, the woman in the city is a mistress~! Now that I think about what Mrs. Xu praised her son before, it was really a joke! Mrs. Xu''s proud son was belittled by Lan Shu face to face, and Mrs. Xu''s face turned red with anger! Her son''s current partner was met when he was in college. Mrs. Xu actually knew about this, but she didn''t expect Lan Shu to know it too! And even broke the matter in public! Now, their old Xu''s family will be ashamed to be in the village! Lan Shu saw Mrs. Xu''s face about to burst into anger, and her guilty eyes, she sneered, and said another thing that made the Xu family unable to look up. "I just saw Xu Yunjie a few days ago. At that time, he was blocked by former workers to collect debts. I heard that he was sent to the trade union for mediation because of his debts. I wonder if he has come out now?" These words sounded like they were asking about the situation, but they completely summarized Xu Yunjie''s embarrassing things outside. Hearing these news, there were even nearby villagers who stopped to watch the theater and asked curiously¡ª "Aunt Xu, didn''t you say that your son is very handsome outside? Why did you pay off the debt?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 141: ask for money Chapter 141 Asking for money "That''s right. Didn''t it mean that Xu Yunjie was promoted from the county machinery factory to the city machinery factory? He was promoted to pay off the debts owed by outsiders. Could it be that his promotion was bought with money and gifts?" "Ms. Xu, thank you for saying that Xu Yunjie is the most outstanding young man in the village. He is looking for a mistress, owes debts, and is imprisoned in the trade union. How can he still be outstanding? What a joke~!" Mrs. Xu did not expect the situation to develop to this point. She originally just wanted to belittle Lan Shu a few words, to let herself vent her anger. But now, she couldn''t vent her anger, and instead, Lan Shu revealed her son''s scandal! Mrs. Xu was trembling with anger, "Don''t be complacent! If you weren''t lazy and ugly before, my son would have had **** with other women? Or are you too bad to be worthy of my son, so that''s why..." "The Xu family is still shameless? Telling Xiaosan about cheating so confidently?" Lan Shu didn''t need to speak this time, and there were already people in the surrounding village who couldn''t stand it anymore. "Mrs. Xu, I thought that although your family is poor, at least you have no bad intentions. Now it seems that the whole family has developed a wrong mind. The girl from the Lan family is far away from your house, and you really did the right thing! " "That''s right, I just found out today that Xu Yunjie is a **** outstanding young man! This kind of person is not even considered a man, so he is regarded as a treasure by your Xu family." "Little sister of the Lan family, my sister-in-law thought you were too reckless before you divorced, but now it seems that you are right to divorce! My sister-in-law supports you!" "..." The surrounding villagers all stood by Lan Shu''s side, which made Mrs. Xu unable to stay any longer. She didn''t have the face to look at the contemptuous eyes of others, and left in a hurry with her head hooked in desperation. Because Xu Yunjie''s mother had nothing to find fault with, Lan Shu delivered food to her adoptive parents a little late today. And in the afternoon, the whole Tianshui Village knew that the Xu family was evil-minded, and Xu Yunjie was simply not a man! Because of Xu Yunjie''s relationship, the entire Xu family''s reputation has been ruined. In addition, several married daughters of the Xu family were implicated. They were laughed at by their in-laws and disliked by their own men. Especially in the family of the eldest sister of the Xu family. Sister Xu and her men have domestic violence, but because her brother-in-law Xu Yunjie is doing well, Sister Xu and her men will restrain violence most of the time. Now that he learned that his wife Xu Chunhua keeps saying that his son''s future will depend on his brother-in-law, it''s fine to find a mistress outside, and he still owes a lot of debt! "Xu Chunhua, tell me! As far as your little brother''s virtue is concerned, my son''s future can be counted on him? You secretly took the fifty yuan from my cabinet, and hurry up to get it back! Otherwise, I will beat you to death." you!" Sister Xu''s man, Chen Dalei, blamed loudly, and couldn''t help but slap Xu Chunhua a few times before he calmed down. Sister Xu''s face was red and swollen after being beaten. She knew that if she said good things for her brother this time and didn''t ask for money, her man would definitely beat her even worse! Xu Yunjie, who was in Linjiang City at this time, didn''t know that he had just paid off the debts of his former workers with Li Xiumei, and his eldest sister would come to him soon... ¡­ Lan''s house, Lan Shu returned to the village this time, and originally wanted to stay in the village for two more days, but before she could continue her vacation, she received a call from the toilet paper factory. Buying new machines in the factory, the one-week teaching course provided by foreign machine factories will end tomorrow. Mark will leave soon. Lan Shu promised to invite Mark to dinner at the beginning, but Mark was busy a few days ago, so he didn''t find a suitable time. Later she went back to the village and lived there for three days. Now that Mark is about to leave, before she leaves, she must fulfill her promise and let everyone sit down and get together. At home, although Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were reluctant to leave their precious daughter, they did not persuade them to stay. They know that this child Shushu is a person who does great things, they can''t hold her, it will delay her work. And when Lan Dazhuang learned that the younger sister was leaving, he was the first to say that he would personally send the younger sister to the county seat! Lan Shu looked at her elder brother who was full of excitement, with a smile on his brow. Lan Shu:? I want to leave, brother is so happy? But soon Lan Shu figured it out, big brother didn''t mean that at all, and had other plans! I''m afraid that the reason why her eldest brother is really happy is that he has the opportunity to go to the county town to meet Secretary Tang, right? Although Lan Shu didn''t know the relationship between her elder brother and Secretary Tang after she left on Sunday afternoon with an excuse. But now it seems that the two of them seem to be making good progress? Lan Shu didn''t know, how could the relationship between his elder brother and Secretary Tang be summed up by "good"? This rough guy who looks simple and honest at first glance, has more action ability than the original owner before Lan Shu came to Xu Yunjie, and he is more direct! ¡ª After deciding to leave, Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County on her eldest brother''s tractor the next day. ¡­ At about 10:30 in the morning, after sending the little girl to the toilet paper factory, Lan Dazhuang went directly to the garment factory. He knew the location of the garment factory, and he brought some other things with him when he came to the county this time. When Lan Shu went to the factory to inspect the production status of the new machine, and to catch up with Mark, and learn about the development of various foreign machines by the way, Lan Dazhuang had already arrived at the garment factory. He went to the back mountain of the village early this morning, grabbed two roosters from the mountain, put them into sacks, picked up dozens of eggs, and brought them with him. Lan Dazhuang felt that since he came here to meet someone, he couldn''t do it empty-handed. Last time in the county seat, after Lan Shu left the restaurant, Lan Dazhuang lost his younger sister''s stare, and immediately let go! He immediately expressed his affection for Tang Chu bluntly, and asked Tang Chu if he liked him, and if he liked him, he wanted to have a date with Tang Chu. Secretary Tang at the time was really shocked by Lan Dazhuang! But she could see that Director Lan''s eldest brother was serious about her attitude. So after thinking about it silently for a while, Tang Chu gave his answer. ¡ªShe is willing to have **** with Lan Ande. So today Lan Dazhuang came to the garment factory to see Tang Chu, not to harass, but to meet the object reasonably. ¡­ In the clothing factory, Tang Chu was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a brown half-length coat today, looking more mature than last time. Lan Dazhuang was carrying the things he brought, and was about to go to the yard of the garment factory, but was stopped by the security guard at the door. "You are not a factory employee, who are you looking for?" The security guard has only been working in the factory for a few days. Although he hasn''t recognized all the employees in the factory, he also knows that there is absolutely no man in his factory who is as tall and strong as Lan Dazhuang, with a muscular body! When the factory recruited security guards before, it tried to find taller men for this position, but today the security guard who guards the gate is still half a head shorter than Lan Dazhuang. Hearing the question from the security guard at the gate, Lan Dazhuang immediately replied, "I''m looking for Tang Chu." (end of this chapter) Chapter 142: good idea? Chapter 142 Good idea? "Looking for Secretary Tang?" The new security guard still knew the names of several leaders, big and small, in the factory. In addition to the factory director Lan, Tang Chu is the secretary of the factory director, Zhai Xue is the financial manager, Liu Axing is the workshop director, and finally Xie Xiaoju is the team leader of the clothing design and printing department. Lan Dazhuang was wearing black clothes and black trousers. He was catching chickens and eggs in the mountains early in the morning. There was some dust on his clothes, and he didn''t look very clean. The secretary of the factory manager will know this kind of person who doesn''t even have a clean dress? The new security guard was hesitating whether to let people in. At this moment, in the sack in Lan Dazhuang''s hand, two roosters suddenly crowed restlessly. "Come to our factory and still carry a chicken?" The security guard immediately frowned, "Our Secretary Tang is busy, if you need something, just wait at the door!" The security guard has already made up his mind that it is better not to let such outsiders with dirty clothes and unknown origins into the factory easily. Lan Dazhuang heard that his partner was busy, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then he nodded, "Okay then, I''ll wait outside." After finishing speaking, he turned around and returned to his tractor at the gate with the chicken and eggs in his hand. Anyway, it''s only an hour before noon, so it''s okay for him to wait. The security guard was slightly relieved to see that the strong man was so talkative. He was worried that if the strong man insisted on breaking in, he would not be able to stop him. ¡­ On the other side, the new machine workshop of the toilet paper factory. When Lan Shu came, she saw that Mark was teaching three technicians about how to repair the new machine when it broke down. She greeted Mark and made an appointment to have lunch together, and then Lan Shu went to her office. In the office, Secretary Qu saw the factory manager Lan coming, and immediately reported the situation after the release of toilet paper rolls in the factory these days. As Lan Shu expected, toilet paper rolls immediately attracted the attention of many people as soon as they came out. The price of roll paper is not much different from that of knife-cut rectangular toilet paper, but it is more convenient to use, and it feels delicate. It is suitable for wiping mouth and hands on the dining table. According to the phone feedback I received this morning, most of the first batch of roll toilet paper has been sold out, and the second batch of roll toilet paper has been shipped from the factory¡¯s warehouse yesterday, and the supply will continue soon. Seeing such a gratifying sales result of roll toilet paper, Lan Shu was really happy. "By the way, did the employee who developed the standard paper roll and toilet paper get a bonus of 500 yuan?" Lan Shu suddenly remembered this, so she asked casually. "It has already been sent." Secretary Qu replied. "You went to Kyoto before the Chinese New Year and were not in the factory, so Deputy Director Zhu, as the awarding leader, handed out the prize money." Secretary Qu added. Lan Shu nodded upon hearing this. She was once again thankful that the toilet paper factory still had Deputy Factory Director Zhu, who could help her get a lot of work. Otherwise, she might not have free time to take care of the situation at the garment factory. In addition to the distribution of toilet paper bonuses, Secretary Qu also told Lan Shu another good news. "Director Lan, the high-quality toilet paper you requested before is stronger and softer than roll toilet paper. Recently, there has been progress." "Since the old employee who researched toilet paper rolls got a bonus last time, the few employees who did research on improving the quality of toilet paper have become more active and want to get bonuses." "I went to see it yesterday. The experiment of the new toilet paper has reached the final stage. I heard that it is very close to your request." After listening to Secretary Qu''s words, Lan Shu nodded. It seems that the next step, the machines needed to produce pocket paper, should also be arranged. There was still some time before lunch, so Lan Shu called the Linjiang Machinery Factory and made an appointment with He Sunan, the machine designer of the Machinery Factory, to meet tomorrow. When I learned that Director Lan was coming to discuss new machine orders with the factory, the machinery factory welcomed him very much. Originally, the factory had arranged tomorrow''s work for He Sunan, but now it has been temporarily cancelled. Tomorrow, He Sunan has only one task, and that is to contact Factory Manager Lan to get a new order from Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory! ¡­ At the garment factory, Lan Dazhuang waited outside the gate of the garment factory until he got off work at noon. Seeing the workers in the factory walking out of the gate one after another, he carefully searched for the figure of his partner from the crowd. Not long after, Lan Dazhuang saw Tang Chu who was coming home from work¡ª Tang Chu didn''t expect that he would meet Lan Ande, the eldest brother of the factory director, at the gate of the factory. Oh, by the way, now the other party is also my object. Regarding the fact that he had a date so quickly, Tang Chu went home and thought about it for three days, but he still didn''t understand why he agreed to Lan Ande to have a date with him so easily? Although the decision was quick, Tang Chu did not regret it. Tang Chu could see that Lan Ande was an honest and reliable man, and in her eyes, Lan Ande''s appearance was also the type she liked. Thinking of having such a tall and strong partner, Tang Chu felt a sense of security. Tang Chu walked towards Lan Ande who was waving at her, "Are you looking for Director Lan?" "No, I came here specially to see you." Lan Dazhuang said, turning around and taking a sack containing two roosters and a basket of eggs from the tractor behind him. "I sent my little sister to the county seat today, so I brought some chickens and eggs from home, and came to see you." He had a cheerful smile on his face. This kind of pure desire to be nice to someone made Tang Chu even have a thought that was hard to refuse. But Tang Chu quickly thought, she and Lan Ande had only known each other for a few days, so how could they just take things from the Lan family? Even if the things are not bought with money, but raised at home! "Brother Lan, I''m already very happy if you think about visiting me, but I can''t accept things." Hearing what his partner said, the smile on Lan Dazhuang''s face instantly turned into a daze! From his point of view, Tang Chu is his partner, he just casually caught two chickens on his own mountain and gave it to his partner to eat, what''s the matter? He wholeheartedly wants to be nice to his partner, but the partner has something to do with him? This made Lan Dazhuang anxious, he didn''t want his partner to have a relationship with him~! Suddenly, Lan Dazhuang thought of a good idea to get closer! "Well... since we have already talked about someone, when will we get engaged? Although in our village we directly set a date to get married, but at the beginning my little sister got engaged first and then got married, so let''s follow the trend and have more than one day before getting married. got engaged?" At the beginning of Tang Dynasty:... She couldn''t even believe it. The first time they met to talk about someone, the second time they met they were going to talk about engagement! Tang Chu was thinking, the third time they met, shouldn''t they get married right away? Factory Manager Lan''s elder brother is too anxious... But she changed her mind and thought again, a man desperately hopes to marry herself back, which is enough to show that he cares about herself. Besides, Lan Ande is not bad looking, tall and tall, and he is also the elder brother of Director Lan. A man with this kind of condition will definitely have a girl who wants to marry, but he only cares about himself. Tang Chu was happy and confused for a while, not knowing what to do. (end of this chapter) Chapter 143: then get engaged Chapter 143 Then get engaged Seeing his partner''s difficulty in answering, Lan Dazhuang panicked! Could it be that his partner doesn''t want to get engaged to him? By the way, I haven''t explained the situation of the engagement gift, and no girl will marry a man who has nothing. "Xiao Chu, I grew up in the village, so I don''t know much about the rules of your county. The bride price required here..." "It doesn''t matter how much the bride price is." Tang Chu, who was hesitating whether to get engaged so soon, replied subconsciously when he heard Lan Dazhuang''s words. She really doesn''t care how much the bride price is, as long as the man treats her well, life will be fine. She felt that even if Lan Ande was from the countryside, it didn''t matter that he might not have much ability. What she wanted was Lan Ande, not money. Besides, she has a very good job now, with a monthly salary of fifty or sixty yuan. There are other benefits and bonuses during the New Year''s Day, so she can afford to support her family by herself. Tang Chu never thought that Lan Ande was the eldest brother of the director of Lan, so he could get a lot of money. The money earned by Director Lan is earned by Director Lan himself, and has nothing to do with the brothers in the family. She is still very clear about this. Lan Dazhuang heard that his partner didn''t care how much the bride price was. Then he will watch and get ready~! "As for the bride price, my parents are getting older, so I plan to take it myself. Do you think five hundred is okay?" "Watches, bicycles, and sewing machines are the three major items. Except for the sewing machine, I don''t think I can use it at home. I will buy the other two depending on what brand you like." Lan Dazhuang spoke seriously and sincerely. Although he does not have much money now, he is strong, willing to work, and able to earn money. Engagement is a major event, and he will not wrong his partner. For this matter, he will open his mouth to his little sister and borrow some money to deal with emergencies. Judging from the current situation of free-range chicken farms, he will be able to pay back the money in less than a year. Although the money raised by the four brothers and sisters was still several hundred dollars left over, the money was reserved for the construction of the rear pheasant farm and orchard, and he would not mess with it. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, he originally thought that the betrothal gifts in rural areas were at most one hundred, three major items, and so on, so he didn''t even think about it. But now, Lan Ande asked for five hundred, and would he buy her a bicycle and a watch? Even if you get married in a county town, the dowry is only two hundred or at most three hundred. If she really gets five hundred dowry, she will be envied by her relatives~! Tang Chu is not a vain person, but when his daughter gets married, she still hopes to have a good life, so that people will praise it when they mention it. She thought for a while, "It doesn''t need five hundred, three hundred is fine. As for watches and bicycles, I am the factory director''s secretary, and the watch factory makes them for me. I pay my own wages for bicycles and have savings, so I can just buy them myself." Tang Chu will not let others pay so much just because they are rich. No one''s money comes from the wind. Lan Dazhuang heard that his partner only wanted 300 dowry gifts, not even bicycles and watches, which made him slightly surprised¡ª¡ª Immediately, he realized that he had really found a good partner! Since Xiao Chu requested this, of course he would agree. Actually, Lan Dazhuang didn''t care much about the amount of the bride price, because no matter how much, he would earn more money for his wife in the future. "Then it''s settled, which date should we choose for our engagement?" Lan Dazhuang happily asked his partner. Tang Chu:? She... seems to have been entangled? Before she planned to think about whether to get engaged so soon, but it turned out that she made the final decision on the amount of bride price¡ª At the beginning of Tang Dynasty:... But thinking about it again, I don''t seem to have any repulsive thoughts about getting engaged. Since I personally agreed, then... get engaged! When making this decision, Tang Chu cheered herself up in her heart. Since she agreed to have a date with Big Brother Lan, it seems that the engagement is not bad. So Tang Chu really thought about the engagement date seriously. "Then it will be Labor Day in May." Tang Chu replied. Labor is the most glorious, and she thinks it will be very commemorative to get engaged on this festival. Lan Dazhuang thought for a while, it was only the beginning of March, and by May he could raise three hundred yuan just by selling eggs. Although the egg money belongs to the four of them, he will use it first and make up for it later. I believe the younger brothers and younger sister will agree. "That''s it." Lan Dazhuang said, smiling happily, grinning, showing a row of big white teeth, excited for a while. But if you''re happy, you''re happy, he hasn''t forgotten the business of coming to the county today. Lan Dazhuang once again raised the sack containing the rooster and a basket of eggs. "Can you accept this thing?" Tang Chu:? She looked at the elder brother of the director Lan suspiciously, thinking, the elder brother Lan must have decided to get engaged in order to let herself accept what he gave him...? Although it was just a guess, Tang Chu didn''t know. At this moment, she guessed right¡ª¡ª ¡­ When Tang Chu agreed to accept the chicken and eggs sent by Lan Dazhuang, on the other side, the toilet paper factory. At noon, Lan Shu''s dinner party was arranged in the factory cafeteria. According to Director Lan''s instructions, Secretary Qu asked the cafeteria to prepare abundant ingredients, opened a small stove alone, and prepared a large table of dishes. On the generous red lacquered table with a sense of age, there are six or seven meat dishes, three or four vegetarian dishes, and three big pots of soup, all chicken, duck and fish. The cook in the canteen of the factory was recruited by Deputy Factory Manager Zhu. The cooks and his family used to work as cooks in the canteen of the paper mill, and they are considered skilled in this line of work. Lan Shu tasted every dish, and felt that Xiaozao''s cooking skills were not bad. Although it is not as delicious as her cooking, it is almost comparable to ordinary restaurants outside. In addition to inviting Mark for today''s meal, the technician who recently followed Mark to learn machine maintenance was also called by Lan Shu to accompany him. He Yi is a technician in the machinery factory next door, and the other two are employees of the factory. One is Qin Liang and the other is Wei Cai. They are both in their thirties. He Yi is the youngest of the three, and also the best in machine maintenance. Even if he is not an employee in his own factory, if there is a small malfunction in the machine in the factory, He Yi will immediately rush to help the factory solve the problem on the machine if there is a phone call from the toilet paper factory, and Lan Shu should treat him to dinner. A meal as a token of thanks. At the dinner table, Lan Shu, the director of the factory, was there, and Secretary Qu was indispensable. Originally, Deputy Factory Director Zhu should also come, but at noon today, Deputy Factory Director Zhu¡¯s house happened to have guests, so we couldn¡¯t get together. So six people, bring soup and more than a dozen vegetables, it can be said to be very rich~! This meal, let Mark agree again and again. At the dinner table, while eating, Lan Shu did not forget to learn about the progress of foreign machinery development with Mark. According to Lan Shu¡¯s description of the folding and packaging machine for making small pocket toilet paper, Mark said that although their machine factory does not have such a machine, it is not a problem to manufacture it. She didn''t place an order right away, she just learned how easy it is to make such a machine. If the process is not very complicated, she still hopes to give more opportunities to domestic machinery factories. (end of this chapter) Chapter 144: not worthy Chapter 144 is not worthy Many times, the development of a country''s industry lags behind, but what is lacking is to give those cutting-edge industries a chance to develop and innovate. It''s like He Sunan designed the paper rolling machine under her description concept. As long as you give him a chance, he can return you a surprise and create a miracle! ¡­ After lunch, Lan Shu and Mark waved goodbye. Mark will leave Qingyang County this afternoon. The ticket has been bought and the itinerary has already been arranged. This meal at noon is to see Mark off. Before leaving, Mark sincerely invited Lan Shu to visit abroad if she was free. Although Mark and Lan Shu haven''t known each other for a long time, and they haven''t communicated much, he feels that with Lan Shu''s vision and creativity, perhaps the foreign environment can give Lan Shu more room for development. and possibly. Lan Shu hasn''t considered going abroad yet. But there will always be opportunities in the future. Because there was no car in the factory, Lan Shu just sent Mark to the gate of the toilet paper factory, and the two separated. Fortunately, she and Mark have a good relationship, and Mark also knows the situation in their factory, otherwise it would be rude for the toilet paper factory not to see off customers. As for adding a car to the factory, Lan Shu put it on the agenda again. After seeing Mark off, she immediately told Secretary Qu about buying the car. Based on the current development of the factory, it is time to have a car. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Dazhuang ate at Tang Chu''s house for lunch. Following the first meeting to find a partner, and the second meeting to confirm the engagement time, at noon that day, Lan Dazhuang met the parents directly¡ª In fact, he planned to have lunch with his partner at the county restaurant at noon, but it was really difficult for him to go to the restaurant with his chicken and eggs. So seeing that it was already noon, Tang Chu couldn''t let Lan Dazhuang go hungry and drive the tractor back to the village for another two hours. So she invited Lan Dazhuang to eat at home. Tang Chu¡¯s family has a younger brother besides his parents. My younger brother is two years younger than her. He is still in school and not in the county. Her parents are young, in their early forties. My father works in a steel mill, and my mother has no regular job. She stays at home most of the day to take care of the family and serve the elders. Tang Chu¡¯s father was the second child in the family, and he was a dutiful son. His brothers separated after they got married, and he was the only one who lived with his parents all the time. His brothers have never taken care of the second elder, and the second elder has always been towards the eldest son and the younger son, and doesn''t want to spend their money. On the contrary, Tang Chu''s father, who is neither high nor low, is not loved by others. Fortunately, Tang Chu''s grandparents are in good health, and Tang Chu''s father''s salary is enough to support them at home. Before Lan Dazhuang followed the object to the Tang family, Tang Chu had already explained the basic situation of her family. But what Tang Chu didn''t say was that although her family didn''t have a patriarchal concept, she was indeed not as important as her younger brother at home as a girl. In the eyes of her parents, patriarchal ideas are not yet obvious. But in the eyes of her grandparents, a girl is a girl, and she will marry sooner or later! So, if it wasn''t for her good grades when she went to school, plus her parents were reasonable, and her family had the financial conditions to support her to go to school, otherwise she wouldn''t have been able to go to college at all! During the two years she was in school, her grandparents complained that she knew how to spend money as a girl, and that she might as well work early to earn money for the family and save money for her younger brother to marry a wife later. Fortunately, not long after graduating from university, Tang Chu found a job. When she first started working in a garment factory, her grandparents still disliked her for finding a small workshop to work, and she might not be able to pay her wages someday. As the ''small workshop'' developed into a garment factory and became famous in the county and city, the grandparents in the family treated her favorably. Today, the whole family was very surprised to hear that she brought a partner home. Tang Chu''s mother saw that Lan Dazhuang was strong and honest, and she knew that she didn''t come to the door empty-handed. She brought chickens and eggs, and she was not a stingy person. Although she doesn''t know when her daughter found the object, she thinks this object is not bad, so she can observe and observe. Tangchu''s father didn''t come back for lunch at the factory, so he didn''t know that his daughter had a relationship. After meeting Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu''s grandma heard that Lan Dazhuang was from Tianshui Village. He usually worked in the village and didn''t come to the county much. This made the two very dissatisfied that their granddaughter found such a partner! Their granddaughter is now the secretary to the director of the garment factory! How can you find a poor boy from the country when you are looking for a partner? Even if the other party came to bring a gift, but just two chickens and a basket of eggs, this is what they want their granddaughter to marry? Based on the current working situation of their granddaughter, even if they find a regular employee in a large factory, they still have a chance. So at the dinner table at noon, the two elders didn''t have a good look at Lan Dazhuang the whole time. Only Tang Chu''s mother greeted everyone with a smiling face, asking when did Lan Dazhuang and her daughter meet? Do you have any plans for the future? When she learned that her daughter was planning to get engaged to the young man in front of her in two months, Tang Chu''s mother was surprised, but she didn''t object to it. Her daughter is almost twenty-two now because of going to college, and she still doesn''t have a date. The daughters of other people''s families are usually married at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and her children are already considered old girls. Now that her daughter has found a partner, she must be happy to be a mother. Unfortunately, Tang Chu''s mother was happy, but Tang Chu''s grandparents suddenly lost face! The two of them didn''t even eat their meals, Grandma Tang Chu threw her chopsticks and said coldly in front of Lan Dazhuang. "Our granddaughter is currently working in a garment factory and has a serious job. Our family thinks that with her conditions, it is best to find someone who is an employee in the factory. You, who are farming in the village, are not good enough for her." Grandma Tang Chu spoke so suddenly, before Tang Chu could react from the sudden shock and interrupt her words, she had already spoken¡ª This made Tang Chu feel embarrassed! She was about to explain, but Lan Dazhuang spoke first. "Although I am not an employee in the factory, I will definitely treat Tang Chu well and let her live a good life." Lan Dazhuang sincerely promised. "A good day is not just talking about it, let''s talk about the bride price. How much gift can you give as a farmer in a village?" Grandma Tangchu looked at Lan Dazhuang contemptuously, she spoke in a slightly bitter tone, and raised money as soon as she opened her mouth. In her opinion, having money is the most important thing. She guessed that the man in this village is not rich. No money and want to be with her granddaughter who works in the factory? Just wishful thinking! Lan Dazhuang didn''t care that Tang Chu''s grandma disliked his rural background. Seeing that the other party asked about the dowry, he immediately told the result of the discussion between himself and Tang Chu. "I''m going to take three hundred as a bride price." (end of this chapter) Chapter 145: Cant bear it Chapter 145 Can''t bear it Tang Chu¡¯s grandparents were a little surprised when they heard that Han, a farmer, could get three hundred yuan. But even so, it wasn''t enough for their promising granddaughter to marry casually. Grandpa Tang Chu, who had been silent by the side, suddenly spoke. "What about the three major items other than the bride price?" "Three big pieces..." Lan Dazhuang didn''t finish speaking, the words had already been taken by Tang Chu¡ª "We have discussed the three major items. I don''t need a sewing machine. The watch factory has one for me, so we bought a bicycle." "How can I do that?!" Grandma Tang Chu immediately disagreed when she heard her granddaughter say that. "You can''t use it, can''t you use it at home? With a sewing machine, your mother can still do some small jobs at home." "There is also a watch. You have a watch. Doesn''t your brother still have one? If you don''t want the three important things, you don''t want them. The family raises you so big, what use is there for you?" This can be said to be merciless. Lan Dazhuang didn''t expect Tang Chu''s grandma to reprimand Tang Chu like this in front of him, an outsider. It has never happened in his family that the elders in the family treat the younger generation harshly. His family is not patriarchal, on the contrary, it feels a bit patriarchal. The family protects the younger sister like an eyeball. They are older brothers who have been used to being nice to their younger sister since childhood. So now, Lan Dazhuang is very angry when he sees the elders in his partner''s family treat her like this! But seeing that they were Tang Chu''s grandparents, Lan Dazhuang held back his anger and did not explode. "Okay, if you want three major items, I''ll buy them." He didn''t want to embarrass his partner. In the past, Lan Dazhuang just wanted to treat Tang Chu well, and the two got engaged and married step by step, and lived together. But now, he suddenly has the desire to marry his partner back home as soon as possible, he wants to protect Tang Chu, and prevent her from being bullied by others again! Tang Chu''s grandma still didn''t believe it when he heard that the boy from the country promised to give three big pieces. 300 yuan dowry plus three major items, it will cost at least 800 yuan! This kind of bride price can only be afforded by rich families in the county. How can a rural farmer have so much money? Grandpa Tang Chu was still questioning, but Grandma Tang Chu directly spoke out what was in her heart. "Three hundred yuan plus three major items, it''s not something you can just talk about. Are you sure your family can afford this gift?" Aside, Tang Chu blushed with shame when he heard his grandmother''s harsh voice! She was about to tell her grandma to stop talking, but the big brother Lan beside her grabbed her finger and squeezed it gently to show her comfort. He will deal with this matter by himself, instead of letting his partner push to the front. "I will do what I say." Lan Dazhuang said. "We are planning to get engaged on Labor Day, and the gift money and the three major items will be delivered in advance." Regarding this, he seriously promised. Originally, Lan Dazhuang planned to listen to his partner, so Tang Chu bought the bicycle himself. But now after seeing Tang Chu''s grandma''s attitude clearly, he won''t let his partner spend any more money! Otherwise, if her grandparents find out about this in the future, they will definitely gossip about her. He didn''t know what life Tang Chu lived in the past, but in the future, he will protect her and prevent her from being wronged. "Are you really rich?" Tang Chu''s grandfather still didn''t believe it even if the words got to this point. At this moment, Tang Chu couldn''t bear it any longer¡ª "Grandma, Grandma, Big Brother Lan is our factory director''s big brother!" "The eldest brother of the factory director?" The old couple of the Lan family were taken aback immediately! Aside, Tang Chu''s mother was also surprised, "Did your factory manager introduce her brother to you?" The director of her daughter''s factory is so nice? Tang Chu didn''t elaborate on how she got on good terms with Big Brother Lan, and she didn''t intend to take advantage of Factory Director Lan''s influence to show off her prestige. At this moment, she just wants to tell her grandma, so that they will stop looking at the person she is looking for with such disdain and contempt! For people like her grandparents, only by revealing the identity of the factory manager''s brother can they stop being suspicious. Sure enough, when the old couple heard that their granddaughter was looking for the factory director''s brother, their attitudes immediately changed. Grandpa Tang Chu looked at Lan Dazhuang and said, "No wonder you agreed to give the three pieces so easily. It turns out that they are relatives of the factory director." "You are the eldest brother of the factory director, isn''t the three hundred dowry a little less?" Grandma Tang Chu thought that if the factory director''s family married a daughter-in-law, the dowry should be five hundred or one thousand, right? It is probably unbearable for anyone to say this kind of thing casually! But Lan Dazhuang took a deep breath, and for his object, he tried hard to restrain his emotions. But he could bear it, but Tang Chu couldn''t! "Grandma, what are you talking about? I want to get married, are you going to sell your granddaughter?!" She originally didn''t want to lose her temper in front of the man she liked, but now, she couldn''t swallow it if she didn''t speak her mind! "How much dowry do I need to get married? If there is family interference in this matter, it should be my parents. And even if my partner is the eldest brother of our factory director, he is not the factory director. Don''t be afraid of him because of him and the factory director. I just want to take advantage of the relationship!" When the old couple heard that their own granddaughter was in front of outsiders, they turned their elbows outward. These words made them instantly annoyed! "Damn girl, what are you talking about?! Isn''t it for your own good?" Grandma Tang Chu said angrily. Besides, Tang Chu''s grandfather was no longer silent, "How do you talk, kid? We are the elders of your parents, why can''t we care about how much gift you receive when you marry?" Tang Chu didn''t bother to talk to her grandma, turned his head to look at his mother, and called out, "Mom." Her father is not at home, and she wants her mother to do her justice. But Tang Chu ignored that her mother didn''t have much say in this family. "Tang Chu, this matter...let''s make a decision after your father comes back." Tang Chu''s mother looked perplexed. With Tang Chu¡¯s father as a filial son, the old couple has no concept of what they should and should not care about. Tang Chu''s mother didn''t dare to disobey the elders. She didn''t want the family to be restless, so she basically gave in. "Mom?" Tang Chu couldn''t believe that her mother wasn''t on her side. Obviously her grandparents disagreed when she was going to college, but her mother supported her! However, Tang Chu didn''t know that her going to college was related to her future, and now about the bride price, Tang Chu''s mother also felt that since her daughter''s object was the factory manager''s brother, it shouldn''t be a problem to meet the requirements of the elders. It is best to spend money to solve this matter. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Aside, Lan Dazhuang didn''t expect that his partner''s family members would have such thoughts, and they all set their minds on his little sister! ? Tang Chu''s mother seemed to be quite satisfied with herself, but she was still confused. (end of this chapter) Chapter 146: own family Chapter 146 My Family Lan Dazhuang felt that if he hadn''t really liked Tang Chu, and had fallen in love with this girl at a glance, he would definitely not stay here any longer. But now, he had to do something, he couldn''t let his object fight against her whole family by himself. "Five hundred gifts, and three more, I agree." He said. Lan Dazhuang felt that it was worth it to be able to use money to see these people clearly, and to use money to take his partner out of such a family. He has already made up his mind that after marrying his partner, they will have less contact with the Tang family. Now these people ask for money, and he gives it enough. In the future, the young couple will live their own lives, and he will have no reason to speak ill of them to these natal relatives. After all, the water splashed by the married daughter, Tang Chu married him, and they belonged to the Blue family. The relatives of the Tang family have no right to control her, or even manipulate her. Eating a full lunch, Tang Chu dragged Lan Dazhuang out of the house before he finished eating. "Brother Lan, I''m sorry, I let you see a joke." She lowered her head, feeling very disappointed. A self like this is simply not worthy of a man as good as Lan Ande. Just now, Tang Chu was moved by his worry about himself and his attitude of protecting himself. But she decided not to drag him down. "Brother Lan, you have also seen the situation in my family. I thought at least my parents would be on my side, but now it seems that I was wrong. My mother doesn''t even speak for me, let alone me. Dad, that big dutiful son..." At this moment, Tang Chu couldn''t hide his disappointment with his family. "Let''s forget about the bride price, I decided not to marry in the future, and let them give up their hearts!" Because of what happened today, Tang Chu really felt hatred in her heart. She hated how she was born into such a family? How can there be such a family? She wants to spend her whole life being an old girl, and she won''t let her grandma do what she wants! When Lan Dazhuang heard Tang Chu''s decision, although he understood Tang Chu''s thoughts, he definitely could not agree~! "Xiao Chu, are you going to abandon me?" Lan Dazhuang had a slumped face, and his pitiful dejected appearance was unbearable. "I will pay the bride price, you marry me, and we two will have a good life in the future." Lan Dazhuang said seriously. Tang Chu really didn''t expect that the man in front of him has seen the situation in his own family, and he still doesn''t despise himself! He even really planned to offer five hundred yuan as a bride price and three major gifts to marry him back? This amount of money is not a small amount, even if her partner is the elder brother of Director Lan, Tang Chu doesn''t think her partner has such money. But since Big Brother Lan is still willing to be with me... Tang Chu paused in her heart, and after a while, she made up her mind! "Okay, let''s have a good time!" she said. The 500 dowry gifts and the three major items cost a total of about a thousand yuan. Although she doesn''t have the money now, judging from her salary, if she is given three years, she will definitely be able to save it! Brother Lan is the eldest brother of the factory manager. Maybe they can borrow it from the factory manager first. Anyway, she is a worker in the factory, and at worst it will be deducted from her salary. Lan Dazhuang didn''t know what Tang Chu was thinking. After he drove his partner back to work in the garment factory in a tractor, he turned around and went to the toilet paper factory to find his little sister. So, just as Lan Shu sent Mark away, she met her elder brother. Hearing her elder brother talk about the situation of Secretary Tang''s house, Lan Shu was shocked at first when her elder brother and Secretary Tang had reached the point of discussing marriage? ? ? The two of them met for the second time today! ? "Brother, isn''t your progress a little too fast?" Lan Shu really didn''t expect it. She was also surprised that Secretary Tang was so quick in choosing a relationship! This made Lan Shu even feel like she was from the backward era. If she faced emotional choices, she would definitely not be as decisive as her elder brother and Secretary Tang¡ª But now, the elder brother can have a girl he likes, and the other party also likes the elder brother, she must support her as a younger sister. What is even more rare is that Lan Shu heard from her eldest brother that Secretary Tang always talked back to the elders in the family because of him, and even had a bad relationship for a time. Lan Shu has noticed Secretary Tang''s character in the past few months. She can do this for her elder brother. Lan Shu believes that Secretary Tang will treat her elder brother well. The situation of the original family is not Secretary Tang''s fault. As long as she has the consciousness of resistance, she is still very optimistic about this kind of person being her sister-in-law in the future. "Little sister, can you lend me some money first?" Lan Dazhuang said his purpose of coming with a face of embarrassment. He, who is the big brother, wants to borrow money from his sister, he is really ashamed. But for his object, for his future daughter-in-law, Lan Dazhuang must be able to wipe away this face! He sighed, looked at his little sister, and continued, "When the chicken farm makes money, then I will take it from my share..." "Brother, what are you talking about?!" Lan Shu interrupted Lan Dazhuang''s request before he could finish speaking. Lan Dazhuang was stunned, and for a moment he was not sure whether his little sister would borrow it or not, but he heard her say¡ª¡ª "You are my eldest brother. I must be very happy that you are looking for a wife. Isn''t it only a thousand dollars? Just treat it as a piece of money that I, a girl, gave you!" One thousand yuan is really nothing to Lan Shu. She went to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year before, and she received a total of 10,000 New Year''s money! If the elder brother really gets married, she would feel that a thousand is too little. Lan Shu has even made up her mind that she will take one thousand yuan first to solve the problems encountered by her eldest brother, and when her eldest brother gets married, she will bring another gift. Lan Dazhuang didn''t expect his younger sister to give him 1,000 yuan for a word of "membership money". Even though he knew that his younger sister now runs two factories, he still felt that the money was too much! "Little sister..." Lan Dazhuang was about to refuse, but Lan Shu had already expected what he was going to say next. "Brother, if you really think I''m your sister, don''t refuse." Lan Shu spoke and stopped Lan Dazhuang. She met Shang Lan Dazhuang''s gaze and said seriously, "Although I am not born in our family, I have always regarded you as relatives." "Don''t say it''s you, the eldest brother. In the future, the second and third brothers will get married. As a younger sister, I will still make up the money according to this standard!" Hearing that the little girl was serious, Lan Dazhuang was stunned. He couldn''t believe it, "Little sister, you really plan to marry us, and you will contribute a thousand dollars each?" Lan Shu nodded, then shook her head, "Not only that, but you are my brothers, how can one thousand be enough?" Speaking, she looked at Lan Dazhuang, and continued seriously, "Although we are not real brothers and sisters, our relationship is better than real brothers and sisters. If my brothers need me in the future, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best." "So brother, don''t feel embarrassed to talk to me, my family, there is no need for that." Lan Shu spoke in a casual tone, because she didn''t want Lan Dazhuang to be too psychologically stressed. (end of this chapter) Chapter 147: high demand Chapter 147 Mass Demand After listening to the little girl''s words, Lan Dazhuang was really moved¡ª¡ª In the past, the elder brother doted on the younger sister at home, but now, is he being doted on by the younger sister? Besides, Lan Dazhuang felt that one thousand yuan was the richest nouveau riche in the county, so he wouldn''t dare to be so casual, right? His little sister is even more powerful than an upstart! After receiving the promise from his younger sister, Lan Dazhuang returned to the village with peace of mind. Originally, he wanted to go to the garment factory and tell Tang Chu the good news, but he thought that there were security guards blocking the gate of the garment factory. And if I go by myself, it may delay the subject''s work. So Lan Dazhuang decided to wait until the next time he comes to the county and meets his partner to discuss this news~! Lan Shu''s side, after her eldest brother left, she paid attention to the situation of the toilet paper factory and made arrangements for some work details. The next thing is to wait until tomorrow morning to go to the Linjiang Machinery Factory, and talk to He Sunan, the machine designer of the machinery factory, about the new machine. While there was still time in the afternoon, Lan Shu went to the garment factory. She will definitely not be free to come to the factory tomorrow, so if there are any work problems in the factory today, she will try to solve them that day. When Lan Shu arrived at the garment factory, it was almost four o''clock. The factory is full of machines in the workshop "da da da ~" in operation, and each machine will not be idle. In the separate pattern-making room in the workshop, there are already more than a dozen tailors who use chalk to draw pattern and cut on the fabric non-stop. After inspecting the workshop, Lan Shu went to the office again. When she came to the factory just now, she took a look through the window from a distance. Accountant Zhai was busy with accounts, and Secretary Tang also had other jobs, so she didn''t bother. At this moment, Secretary Tang seemed to be almost busy with the work at hand, so she walked into the office. Regarding the matter between Secretary Tang and her elder brother, although Lan Shu had heard a lot from her elder brother, she still wanted to hear what Secretary Tang thought. Seeing Director Lan walking into the office, Tang Chu immediately got up from his seat and greeted respectfully, "Director Lan, you are here." After finishing speaking, she didn''t sit back in her seat like before, but looked at Director Lan, as if she wanted to say something, but she struggled to say it easily. Lan Shu saw Secretary Tang''s hesitant eyes, and she probably knew what Secretary Tang wanted to say at the moment. It should be that she and her elder brother are dating, and she is going to confess to herself, right? Lan Shu is very curious, what does the eldest brother look like in Secretary Tang''s mind? So she didn''t take the initiative to bring up the topic, but waited for Secretary Tang to speak up. No matter how tangled things are, there will always be a decision in the end. Secretary Tang''s hesitant reaction didn''t last long, he looked at Lan Shu, and said in a serious tone¡ª "Director Lan, can I borrow some money from you? Or can I advance my salary for the next two years?" When this question was asked, Tang Chu even thought about the result that he would be rejected. But she didn''t expect that Director Lan just showed a slightly surprised expression, and then asked her softly, "How much do you want to borrow? Also, can you tell me why you need the money?" Secretary Tang borrowed money, which Lan Shu didn''t think of beforehand. After listening to it, she probably guessed that it had something to do with her elder brother, but she felt that she should listen to what the person said about the reason. When Tang Chu was asked, she hesitated for a moment¡ª explained later. "I recently talked to someone, and we both have a good relationship with each other, but because of some reasons in my family, if we want to continue walking, we must come up with a bride price that satisfies my family." "It''s all because of me that I need so much money, so I will pay for it myself, Director Lan, if you are willing to help me, I will work hard and pay back the money!" Secretary Tang''s decision really exceeded Lan Shu''s expectations. Her elder brother wanted to borrow money to marry a wife, and Secretary Tang also wanted to borrow money to ''redeem'' herself from her family. These two people really want to go together. This idea that both parties are willing to spend money for each other makes Lan Shu feel quite rare. It seems that she has no doubts. Secretary Tang really likes her elder brother and is sincerely willing to give. At this time, facing Secretary Tang''s request, Lan Shu said softly, "How can the woman pay for the money?" "Director Lan..." Secretary Tang was a little anxious. Did Director Lan reject her request for a salary advance? Immediately afterwards, she heard Director Lan say again¡ª "Don''t worry, your matter has been resolved." Lan Shu''s words made Tang Chu stunned, and then she suddenly realized it! "Director Lan, you already know?" Tang Chu was even thinking, what would Director Lan think of himself when he knew that his relationship with her elder brother had progressed so quickly? Do you think that because of Big Brother Lan''s identity, you want to be the factory manager''s sister-in-law, so you talk to Big Brother Lan? Tang Chu''s short-term panic couldn''t escape Lan Shu''s eyes. Since knowing the relationship between Secretary Tang and her elder brother, Lan Shu''s opinion of Secretary Tang is not just her secretary. The person my eldest brother likes and the woman he will marry in the future will be half of her future family. So feeling Secretary Tang''s worry at this moment, Lan Shu said immediately. "Brother has already told me about your family''s situation. The bride price should be paid by our Lan family. How can I ask you to advance your salary?" Lan Shu said, with a comforting tone, which quickly calmed Tang Chu down. "Director Blue..." Although the factory director had already said so, Secretary Tang still felt embarrassed. Because it was their family''s situation, it caused trouble for the factory manager''s family. "Don''t think about it too much. Since you have decided to be together, we will be a family from now on. My elder brother and I will take care of your family''s situation." Lan Shu comforted. Lan Shu only said these words once. Tang Chu is not a child, so he doesn''t need to keep teaching him. Once she expresses her meaning, it¡¯s fine. Next, Lan Shu quickly changed the subject and focused on her work. She learned about the recent clothing sales in surrounding cities and counties from Secretary Tang, and then Lan Shu nodded in satisfaction. It seems that the goods usually produced by the factory can basically meet the needs of foreign sales. The two had just finished speaking when the phone in the office suddenly rang. Soon, Secretary Tang received a call from Yu Yuan, the owner of the only agency in Kyoto. Yu Yuan said on the phone that he needed a large amount of clothing from the factory as soon as possible! All kinds of styles add up to thousands of spring clothes, which are far from what a clothing store can normally sell. When Lan Shu heard the news, she immediately took the phone from Secretary Tang and communicated with Yu Yuan in person. After a while, she realized that Yu Yuan had used his connections in the clothing industry over the past few years to use the clothes of the styles sent by the factory as samples in just over a week to develop his own. Distributors! (end of this chapter) Chapter 148: other cooperation Chapter 148 Other Cooperation Looking at Yu Yuan''s posture, he seems to be planning to turn his store from a retail store into a wholesale supply store, selling clothes to clothing stores all over the country. After telling Lan Shu about this, Yu Yuan asked if he hoped that the clothing factory could lower the price of clothes on the basis of the previous agency store? Originally, the purchase price of non-direct stores has been set long ago and will not be changed, but the quantity purchased by Yu Yuan is much higher than that of normal stores. So Lan Shu has also considered whether it is possible to reduce the price appropriately so that Yu Yuan''s purchase price is the same as that of the directly-operated store? But after thinking about it for a while, she changed her mind. Although Yu Yuan used his relationships and contacts in the industry to quickly help the factory sell goods and speed up the return of funds from the factory. But what Lanshu wants to do is the clothing brand ''Yunshu'', not just buying clothes for the moment. It is of course very good that Yu Yuan has contacts who can wholesale clothing to various provinces and regions. But one day, when the fame of the ''Yun Shu'' clothing brand spreads across the country, sooner or later, the direct store in his factory and Yu Yuan''s wholesale channel will ''collide''! When the time comes to conflict, their cooperative relationship will no longer be positive and smooth. It is very likely that because of interests, the original friendly and cooperative relationship between the two parties will fall apart, and grudges will become enemies¡ª So thinking of the consequences of trying to make money for a while, Lan Shu immediately rejected Yu Yuan''s request for a large number of goods on the phone. "Boss Yu, why don''t we talk about other ways of cooperation..." "Oh? What does Director Lan want to talk about?" Yu Yuan was surprised that he had thousands of clothes orders, but was rejected by Director Lan. Doesn''t she know that as long as this business is completed, he will have more shipment orders in his hands in the future? But after being surprised for a moment, Yu Yuan listened to Director Lan''s tone, and she seemed to think that the current rejection was not a bad thing? Immediately afterwards, Yu Yuan heard Director Lan talking on the phone. "I really admire you, Boss Yu, for having so many contacts. Boss Yu should also know that our ''Yunshu'' garment factory is doing direct-sale stores. The future of direct-sale stores is quite promising, so I want to hire you, Boss Yu, to be our Regional manager in the factory." "In those areas where our factory''s direct-sale stores have not opened, no matter it spans several cities or even multiple provinces, as long as you can develop direct-sale stores for the factory, each direct-sale store sells, deducting the purchase price The resulting net profit will draw two points as a bonus for the regional manager." The two points do not seem to be many, but if the number of direct-sale stores in his development area is considerable, and the sales performance in the stores is good. In that way, he doesn''t even have to worry about the risk of collecting money in time after he wholesales clothing and paying the clothing factory on time, and he can have a steady stream of money in his account! What he has to do is to develop direct sales stores, maintain and manage these direct sales stores. "I am very interested in the matter of the regional manager." Yu Yuan replied on the phone. "I don''t know if Director Lan is free to come to Kyoto recently? I will bring a few clothing store owners to meet you, so we can talk about the details of the regional manager." After hearing Yu Yuan''s request, Lan Shu thought about her recent schedule for a while. Next she is going to Linjiang City Machinery Factory, and she should be able to spare time to go to Kyoto later. "Okay, let me arrange it here. I''ll see you in Kyoto within three to five days." Lan Shu agreed without hesitation. Originally, Lan Shu thought that if she came back from Kyoto after the Chinese New Year, if she went there, she would have to wait for the next Chinese New Year. But she didn''t expect that due to work reasons, she had only left Kyoto for less than a month, and she would go there again¡ª Hung up the phone, Lan Shu thought about the current situation in her factory. Going to Kyoto this time is not accidental. As the business of the two factories grows, she will go on business trips to more places in the future. So from now on, she should start to adjust her mentality and prepare for business trips in various places in the future. ¡­ The next morning, Lan Shu woke up from the small room she rented at Xie Xiaoju''s house, went to the county station, and took a bus to Linjiang City. There are several shuttle buses from Qingyang County to Linjiang City every day, and the journey takes about three hours. When she arrived in Linjiang City, it was almost noon. Lan Shu didn''t go to the machinery factory immediately, but looked for a place to eat first. It won''t be too late for her to go when she starts working at the machinery factory in the afternoon. Walking out of the bus station, Lan Shu was planning to find a restaurant nearby, but before she could act, she saw He Sunan outside the station gate. "Director Lan, I finally got you!" He Sunan said, walking quickly towards Lan Shu. He was given a holiday by his unit today, and his task was to receive the factory manager Lan of Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. Last time, Factory Manager Lan ordered five paper winding machines from their factory, but the machine factory got 10,000 to 20,000 yuan in the account. In just a month or so, over 10,000 orders have been delivered. Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory is definitely a major customer of their machinery factory! Seeing that He Sunan was deliberately waiting for her, Lan Shu was a little surprised. "Is your factory busy today?" she asked. "Other people in the factory have jobs, and my time today is all yours, Director Lan!" He Sunan repeated the meaning of the factory leaders in his own words. These words sounded consistent with the tasks assigned by the leaders of the factory, but they had the same meaning, but different ways of saying it, and the final results were also different. Lan Shu took a second look at He Sunan, she wasn''t sure if He Sunan came to pick her up today, was it arranged by the factory, or was it a personal act? The former is okay, if it is the latter, there are some problems... Lan Shu didn''t immediately pursue what He Sunan said, she nodded, "Have you eaten yet?" She needs to have lunch first, so that she can go to Linjiang City Machinery Factory to discuss matters in the afternoon. He Sunan shook his head, "Director Lan, I will be waiting for you when the first bus arrives at 8:30 this morning." So he hasn''t had lunch yet. Considering that Director Lan didn¡¯t eat, He Sunan suggested¡ª "Master Lan, do you want to eat in the staff canteen of our Linjiang Machinery Factory? The food in our canteen is quite good." The point is to go to the staff cafeteria to eat, and then you can immediately talk about new orders. He Sunan was very interested in the ideas of the new machines in Director Lan''s mind. "Alright." Lan Shu nodded. It just so happens that she is not the kind of person who likes to waste time. He Sunan came to pick up people today, and specially rode a bicycle, thinking that it would be more convenient and save time. Lan Shu looked at the back seat of the bicycle. After a while, she sat behind the young man''s car under his calm gaze. It is not too far from the bus station to Linjiang Machinery Factory, it only takes ten minutes by bicycle. When the two of them arrived at the factory, they just caught up with the workers¡¯ cafeteria to start serving meals. This meal was bought by He Sunan. Originally, Lan Shu wanted to pay, but He Sunan paid the bill first. (end of this chapter) Chapter 149: How did you come? ! Chapter 149 Why are you here? ! Brought the meal to the table next to him, He Sunan said generously, "Director Lan, please don''t be too polite. The leader of our factory said that we must treat you well today!" "So it was your factory''s request to pick me up at the station early this morning?" Lan Shu took the opportunity to raise her doubts. "Yes." With He Sunan''s calm attitude, Lan Shu was relieved. When Lan Shu was in the capital before, after experiencing Gu Cheng''s stalking and stalking pursuit, she had an inexplicable psychological shadow on men, and she was afraid that similar things would happen again. Now seeing that He Sunan has no other ideas other than reception work, Lan Shu is finally relieved. The staff canteen of Linjiang Machinery Factory is very large, covering an area of ??800 to 900 square meters. Because there are so many workers in the factory, the cafeteria is almost always full when it¡¯s meal time. The workers in the machinery factory are basically men, and there are very few women. The male workers who came to eat at this time saw a girl in the cafeteria, and she was a very beautiful girl, and they all cast envious eyes at He Sunan. . Among them, there happened to be Xu Yunjie who just got off work and came to the cafeteria to eat at the moment¡ª Xu Yunjie has been very unlucky recently. To be precise, he feels that as long as he sees Lan Shu, he will be very unlucky! This rule was summed up by him using a series of ''accidents'' that happened to him. Xu Yunjie believes that he will never make a wrong conclusion. Unknowingly, Xu Yunjie already had a feeling of hatred and fear for Lan Shu. Seeing Lan Shu appearing in their factory at this time, Xu Yunjie''s first reaction was not to step forward to find trouble, but subconsciously took half a step back. He felt that he was not in the mood to eat in the cafeteria at noon today... Thinking of this, Xu Yunjie turned around and left! He might as well eat on the street outside the factory. Although it costs a few cents more, it can ''avoid disaster''. ¡­ At the staff canteen, Lan Shu was not unaccustomed to eating the big pot of rice from the machinery factory. As He Sunan said, the food in their factory is good. After eating, she was led by He Sunan to the small conference room of the technical department of the machinery factory. If you want to talk about serious business, naturally you have to come in a formal place. Lan Shu has always spoken and acted neatly. She sat down at the long table in the conference room, and immediately entered the topic. "I''m here this time to order a new machine from your factory." Lan Shu said. "What kind of machine?" He Sunan was looking forward to the concept of Director Lan''s new machine. "Actually, the new machine is more like a machine assembly line. This kind of machine needs to be dried, cut, embossed, and folded after the toilet paper in our factory is manufactured." "In addition, I also need two machines for printing and making plastic bag wrapping paper. One machine can print patterns on plastic paper, and the other machine needs to be able to set the plastic packaging specifications we need at will. According to the specifications Make plastic packaging bags." Manufacturing a new machine is like this. One must first be able to propose an idea, and then communicate the details. The more perfect the concept Lan Shu describes for the machine, the more conducive it is for He Sunan to create and design the machine later. In the office, from the moment Lan Shu spoke, He Sunan never stopped writing. In front of him was a notebook with a red plastic cover, which densely recorded the content of the new machine that Lan Shu requested. This communication, Lan Shu talked for more than half an hour before stopping. "This is the case with the machine I want, do you have any other questions about it?" She worried that what she said was too much, and He Sunan didn''t understand some parts. He Sunan didn''t answer Lan Shu''s words immediately, but lowered his head to read it in his notebook, then raised his head, and breathed a sigh of relief. "No problem, I have written down everything you said, Director Lan." He Sunan said with a happy smile on his face. Although the new machine concept conceived by Director Lan sounds complicated, this kind of assembly line machine is simply an open mind for a machine designer! He Sunan was very happy to hear the creation concepts of these new machines with his own ears. During the process of listening, he even had the feeling of creative inspiration flashing in his mind for several times¡ª Once this kind of assembly line machine is successfully designed and manufactured by him, it will be very helpful for him to design other machines in the future! Lan Shu listened to He Sunan''s words, and she could feel He Sunan''s eagerness to design a new machine. So she immediately confirmed the basic order price and design fee with He Sunan, then found a reason to leave. ¡­ At this time, outside the gate of Linjiang Machinery Factory. Xu Yunjie, who had finished lunch by Changzi Street, met his eldest sister who was supposed to be in the village¡ªXu Chunhua. Xu Chunhua came to Linjiang City from the village yesterday. A rural woman who has lived in the country for decades, came to the city for the first time, it is really difficult to find someone in this strange place! Fortunately, Xu Chunhua remembered that her mother said that the younger brother went to work in the Linjiang Machinery Factory. So Xu Chunhua asked many people along the way, and finally found the location of the factory. Because of the influence of her family environment since she was a child, as well as the physical and psychological pressure and control she suffered after she married, Xu Chunhua''s temperament has long become humble. Under the influence of such a personality, even when she found the factory, she dared not go up to the guard to ask about her younger brother. She was worried that if a person like herself, who looked very rustic and poor at first glance, went to the factory, would the younger brother''s co-workers laugh at him for having a big sister like herself? So Xu Chunhua has been waiting at the gate of the factory. She felt that as long as she waited, she could wait for her little brother. But Xu Chunhua didn''t know that Xu Yunjie lived in the staff dormitory in the factory, so even if he didn''t come out for a week, it was normal. Fortunately, because Lan Shu went to the canteen of the machinery factory and was seen by Xu Yunjie, he deliberately avoided the reason before leaving the factory gate. When Xu Yunjie went out, Xu Chunhua went to a toilet nearby, so he didn''t meet her. But when Xu Yunjie came back, he was blocked by Xu Chunhua! "Little brother, I finally see you~!" Xu Chunhua didn''t have much money on her body, so her man gave her a fare, so she hid under the bridge hole last night on such a cold day. It was cold, and she didn''t even have a bedding, so she almost didn''t sleep all night. When her feet were numb from the cold, she would get up and jump up and down, as long as she didn''t freeze to death. Yesterday I waited all day and stayed up all night, and this morning, when Xu Chunhua came, she had already eaten all the dry food she brought with her. Now she was cold and hungry, her hands and feet were cold, and she grabbed Xu Yunjie''s hand excitedly. , the ice Xu Yunjie reflexively hopped his feet away¡ª "Sister, why are you here? Your hands are too cold, don''t touch me!" Xu Yunjie frowned, feeling irritable. (end of this chapter) Chapter 150: ask for money Chapter 150 Asking for money Xu Chunhua didn''t expect that she finally found her younger brother, but looking at her younger brother, she seemed to be very disgusted with herself and just wanted to hide? Such thoughts only appeared for a moment, and then Xu Chunhua dismissed the idea. Xu Chunhua felt that the little brother would definitely not despise her, and she must have read it wrong! "Little brother, my hands are cold, did you get the ice? I just saw you were too excited, so I didn''t pay attention, and I won''t do it in the future." Xu Chunhua said, rubbing his hands on her body restrainedly, hoping to warm her hands up a bit. But she had been frozen for too long, and there was nothing in her stomach, so her body couldn''t warm up. "Little brother..." Xu Chunhua wanted to talk to her younger brother, and take her to eat first. She was cold and hungry, and she was very uncomfortable. But before she could finish speaking, Xu Yunjie interrupted¡ª "Well done, what are you doing here?!" Xu Chunhua has a little concern, which is also what Xu Yunjie cares about. He doesn''t want people to see that he has such a poor and rustic sister. Xu Yunjie held back what Xu Chunhua wanted to say in an impatient tone. Xu Chunhua was asked suddenly, and she stopped talking about eating. "Little brother, you are already working in the machinery factory in the city. Your salary must have increased a lot, right? The fifty yuan I lent you before..." Before Xu Chunhua finished speaking, she was interrupted by Xu Yunjie''s voice, "Are you here to ask me for an account?!" Xu Yunjie couldn''t believe it. He had only been working in the city for how long, and his own sister came to ask him to pay back the money? In normal times, Xu Yunjie might consider scraping together some money and paying it back first. However, not long ago at the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory, he was besieged by workers from the former machinery factory, and was locked up by the trade union for two days. Finally, he persuaded Li Xiumei to help him return the money first. He promised Li Xiumei that he would give Li Xiumei whatever salary he paid first, because the money that Li Xiumei helped him repay was also borrowed. He still owes Li Xiumei more than 200 yuan and hasn''t paid it back. How can he pay back his eldest sister now? So facing Xu Chunhua''s intention to come, Xu Yunjie immediately made it clear, "Sister, I have no money." "No money?" Xu Chunhua was stunned. "Little brother, you, don''t you plan to pay me back?!" Xu Chunhua could only think of this possibility. "That can''t be done! The money is not mine, it''s your brother-in-law''s~! You know your brother-in-law''s temper, this time he asked me to come to the city, he must take the money back, otherwise he will beat me to death !" When Xu Chunhua mentioned this matter, she couldn''t help getting emotional. Although it is impossible to beat her to death, her man will definitely beat her hard! The last time she was beaten, not to mention bruises all over her body, her face was swollen for more than a week before it went down, and two of her teeth were knocked out. If she can''t bring the money back this time, her fate will be even worse! Seeing what the elder sister said, Xu Yunjie was worried that his elder sister''s voice would be heard by other people around him, and at the same time felt very embarrassed. "Sister, it''s not that I don''t want to pay you back, I really have no money!" "No money? You work in the machinery factory in the city, so can you have no money?" Xu Chunhua didn''t believe it. "Why don''t you ask your partner in the city to borrow some? Isn''t she in a good family? Can you ask her to take some money first and pay it back to me for you?" Xu Chunhua really had no other choice, she had to bring money back this time. As soon as Xu Yunjie heard that the elder sister had put her mind on Li Xiumei, it reminded him again of the humiliating things he experienced in the labor union of the Qingyang County Machinery Factory, which were simply unbearable to him. "Sister! I really have no money, and Xiumei has no money! You go back first, and I will pay you back when I have money." Saying that, Xu Yunjie was about to pass Xu Chunhua and go back to work in the factory. But Xu Chunhua came today with her man''s confession, how dare she go back without money? "Little brother, think of a way..." "I can''t help it." Xu Yunjie frowned. His elder sister actually wanted to make things difficult for him. This made Xu Yunjie very unhappy~! And when Xu Chunhua saw the younger brother''s arrogant attitude of not paying back the money, it seemed that she didn''t know the person in front of her! "Little brother, how can you do this? Do you want to watch your brother-in-law beat me to death?" Saying that, Xu Chunhua took a few steps to the gate of the machinery factory, and sat down on the floor beside the gate pillar in front of the gate. She looked up at Xu Yunjie and said, "Little brother, no matter what you do today, you must return the money to me, otherwise I won''t leave!" Xu Chunhua had no choice but to do this in order to get the money back. Xu Yunjie worked as a college student for a few years, and then came out to work. It has been a long time since he has seen the kind of tricks in the countryside that insist on not leaving in order to ask for money. And the person who uses this trick now is his eldest sister! "Sister, how could you treat me like this?" Xu Yunjie was annoyed, "Do you know that you will embarrass me like this?" Xu Chunhua was originally afraid that her younger brother would lose face, so she didn''t go directly to the factory to look for her younger brother yesterday. But now, the younger brother''s attitude is that he doesn''t care about her life or death. Knowing that I will be beaten when I go back, my younger brother doesn¡¯t help me. In this case, Xu Chunhua doesn''t need to think about his younger brother''s face in everything. "Little brother, if you return the money to me, I will go home immediately!" Xu Chunhua was firm. It is time to go to work in the afternoon. Although most of the factory workers will eat in the canteen inside the factory, there are exceptions. The scene of Xu Chunhua sitting at the gate of the factory has already been noticed by some employees who are about to go back to work in the factory. Hearing the conversation between her and Xu Yunjie, some employees knew that the rural woman standing at their door was a relative of Xu Yunjie, a technician in their factory. Before Xu Yunjie was discharged from the hospital because he had no money, many workers in the factory laughed at him behind his back as a poor ghost. Later, Xu Yunjie owed money to the workers of the Qingyang County Machinery Factory. Although not everyone in the factory knew about it, the workers who delivered the goods with the truck saw Xu Yunjie being blocked by debtors in the toilet paper They dare not come out of the workshop. The scene in front of him now sounds like Xu Yunjie owes more than that, he even owes money to his relatives! Such a situation even made some machinery factory workers doubt for a while, is the treatment in the machinery factory really so bad? Can an employee who works in a factory owe money everywhere? Noticing that some people around stopped to watch, and those people were staring at him strangely, Xu Yunjie looked at the eldest sister sitting at the gate of the factory. He only felt that his face was hot, which was a physical reflection brought about by embarrassment. "Sister, get up and go back!" Xu Yunjie''s voice was cold, and he looked at his own sister, even with hatred and complaints in his tone. "No, I don''t, little brother, return the money I lent you back then!" Xu Chunhua said, his eyes swept over the people who stopped and watched. Then she asked Xu Yunjie, "Little brother, are these the workers in your factory? Why don''t you borrow some from them first?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 151: Know you very well? Chapter 151 Know you very well? At this moment, Xu Yunjie experienced an unprecedented humiliation! He didn''t expect that he would lose face in front of the workers in the factory because he owed his family 50 yuan. At this moment, he didn''t know the factory workers who were standing aside watching his jokes, at most, they felt familiar. Under such circumstances, thanks to his elder sister for telling him to borrow money from these people! "Sister, you go back!" Xu Yunjie was angry, "I owe you the money, I will pay you back next month!" Originally, Xu Yunjie planned to return the money to Li Xiumei first, but under the current situation, he had to postpone the return of Li Xiumei''s money. He knew that what he did would definitely make Li Xiumei unhappy. But there is no way, if he doesn''t agree to his elder sister, Xu Yunjie knows that his elder sister will definitely make a fuss at the factory gate! Let more people know that they are poor, they don''t even have 50 yuan, and they don''t pay back the money they owe! Xu Chunhua heard her younger brother said that she wanted to pay back the money, but she had to pay her salary next month to pay back. She could accept this situation, but her man disagreed~! Her man will definitely not believe that the younger brother has no money. I just feel that this is all an excuse for my younger brother not wanting to pay back the money! If Xu Chunhua didn''t know that the younger brother is a face-saving person, and sat down at the gate of his factory by herself, if he was really rich, he would definitely pay it back. So Xu Chunhua believed that the younger brother had no money. "Little brother..." Xu Chunhua was in a dilemma. If she didn''t bring money back, she would really be beaten! ¡ª "Little brother, think of a way..." "Are you trying to force me to death?" Xu Yunjie was going crazy! Not long ago, he was supervised by the county trade union for more than 200 yuan, and he was in danger of losing his job at any time. Now he is so humiliated because of the debt collection of 50 yuan. Xu Yunjie finally realized the torment of having no money. All of this was caused by Lan Shu! Xu Yunjie was thinking, when he looked up, he saw Lan Shu standing there among the crowd at the gate of the factory, quietly watching the scene where he was being chased by his elder sister for debts. "Lan Shu!" Xu Yunjie''s eyes turned red with anger. He found that ever since he and Lan Shu divorced, it seemed that bad luck had entangled him imperceptibly, making it difficult for him to do anything¡ª "Lanshu..." Under anger, Xu Yunjie felt regretful again. Why did he insist on divorcing Lan Shu in the first place? Before he knew that Lan Shu had become the director of Qingyang County toilet paper factory, because of jealousy, he still refused to admit that he regretted it. But now, thinking of everything that happened to him, and thinking of Lan Shu''s smooth journey. Maybe it was really because Lan Shu married him that it brought him good luck, and if Lan Shu left, he would have bad luck? Then does he still have a chance to chase Lan Shu back? As soon as Xu Yunjie had this idea, reality slapped him in the face severely. I saw Lan Shu silently looking away, ready to make a detour to leave. She just watched him coldly at his embarrassment, without any reaction. Even if she could show a mocking expression at this time, it was an expression of emotion towards herself. But when she no longer sees herself in the eyes and looks indifferent, she is like a stranger to her, an existence that she doesn''t bother to pay attention to. Xu Yunjie is not reconciled! The woman who once belonged to him has nothing to do with him anymore? She has developed, but she still lives at the bottom, just an ordinary worker in a factory, and even he is still struggling on the line of food and clothing¡ª "Lan Shu!" Xu Yunjie didn''t regret it anymore, he became resentful in his heart! He hated Lan Shu for flying too fast and too high, which made him clearly realize his incompetence and the sadness of his future. After calling Lan Shu''s name three times in a row, Xu Chunhua finally followed her younger brother''s eyes and saw Lan Shu in the crowd wearing an off-white woolen coat. Lan Shu looks much, much better than before! Xu Chunhua didn''t know how to describe a woman''s beauty, she only knew that Lan Shu, who had lost weight, was definitely the prettiest in the village! Letting her meet, she just felt that it was too bad for the little brother to get divorced back then! "Lan Shu, are you also in the city? Are you here to find my little brother?" Xu Chunhua said, got up from the ground, and walked in front of Lan Shu. Fortunately, she had seen Lan Shu from a distance in the village before, so she could recognize Lan Shu''s current appearance. "You guys still keep in touch after divorce?" Xu Chunhua felt that if her younger brother wanted to turn around and continue to be friends with Lan Shu, she would definitely support her. Not only because Lan Shu has become better-looking, but also because Xu Chunhua knew that Lan Shu must be rich when she saw what Lan Shu was wearing! "Lan Shu, can you lend me fifty yuan? I''ll pay you back when my younger brother gets paid." Xu Chunhua said. She felt that since the younger brother promised to pay her salary and return the money to herself, as long as she could borrow it now, it would be the same for the younger brother to return Lan Shu. Opposite, although Lan Shu knew that Xu Yunjie was working in the Linjiang Machinery Factory, she didn''t expect that there were so many people in the machinery factory, and she happened to meet Xu Yunjie by such a coincidence. And the first sight was the scene of Xu Yunjie being demanded by his elder sister. Xu Yunjie''s matter has nothing to do with her. Seeing that he is not doing well, Lan Shu just silently said in her heart that a scheming scumbag deserves it! Then she was ready to stay away, so as not to be affected. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Xu Yunjie''s eldest sister¡ª Hearing that Big Sister Xu wanted to borrow money from her, and asked Xu Yunjie to pay back the money at that time, Lan Shu only thought it was funny. She met Sister Xu''s gaze seriously, and said, "You misunderstood, I didn''t come to the machinery factory to find your brother, and I have no contact with him. As for borrowing money..." She looked up at Sister Xu and sneered, "Am I familiar with you? Does it make you think I''m willing to lend it to you?" Xu Yunjie, a scheming scumbag, plotted against the original owner at the beginning, but after seeing that he was doing well, he targeted him several times. Lan Shu will never forget this matter. Xu Yunjie''s mother insulted him twice in the village, and Lan Shu also remembered it clearly. In her eyes, she didn''t like the Xu family. Big sister Xu borrowed money, she would definitely not borrow it. Xu Chunhua became unhappy when he heard Lan Shu''s words. "You don''t know me well, but are you familiar with my younger brother? Even if you don''t have contact now, you used to be a couple. Please lend me some money. My younger brother is a serious worker, and I will definitely pay you back!" Xu Chunhua is now trying her best to borrow money in order not to go back and get beaten. But it was Lan Shu who answered Xu Chunhua coldly, "I still have things to do, get out of the way." Sister Xu''s behavior of blocking the way in front of her made her hate and resent her. "Lan Shu, why are you so stingy, your family is obviously rich, so it''s only fifty yuan, and it''s not like you won''t pay it back!" Xu Chunhua was very angry, why is Lan Shu such a desperate person? She needs the fifty dollars so badly! Hearing Sister Xu''s words, Lan Shu almost laughed out of anger. She turned her head to look at Xu Yunjie, "Is your Xu family all of this kind of virtue?" First Mrs. Xu came to the village to curse, but now Mrs. Xu is kidnapped morally. Xu Yunjie is another scumbag full of calculations. It seems that the Xu family is not alone, but that the whole family is not a good thing! (end of this chapter) Chapter 152: expulsion Chapter 152 Expulsion Before Lan Shu questioned the Xu family''s virtues, Xu Yunjie did not stop his eldest sister from borrowing money from Lan Shu. Because he really has no money to return to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister needs the money. Plus, if Lan Shu can lend money to his eldest sister, then she can pay it back by herself, and the relationship between Lan Shu and Lan Shu will be eased. Even if Xu Yunjie knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up with Lan Shu, but if he could maintain a non-hostile relationship with Lan Shu, maybe he would still be able to ask Lan Shu for help when he was in trouble in the future? Xu Yunjie''s idea is good, but unfortunately, Lan Shu''s impression of him is extremely bad. It is impossible for them to turn an enemy into a friend. "What do you mean?!" Aside, Xu Chunhua understood that Lan Shu was scolding her secretly, and she also scolded her family. Xu Chunhua, who was worried about money, suddenly became angry! Hearing Lan Shu''s dislike for her, how could she bear it? "Lan Shu, you and my little brother had a good time before anyway, and we all belong to the same village..." "A villager wants to lend you money? What''s the point!?" Lan Shu really didn''t want to pay attention to people like Sister Xu. She frowned and looked around at the machinery factory workers who were watching Xu Yunjie''s good show. "Who can help me find the leader of your factory? As a customer of your machinery factory, I have been entangled by the employees in your factory and his family members. Is there anyone else who cares about this matter?" After Lan Shu finished speaking, there were workers rushing to the factory next to her, obviously calling for someone. When Xu Yunjie saw this scene, he no longer placed his hopes on his elder sister. He immediately grabbed his elder sister''s arm, "Eldest sister, stop shouting." If the factory leader really comes, he will be in trouble. "I''ll find a way for you to borrow money." Xu Yunjie said, pulling his elder sister away immediately¡ª He can''t let the factory leaders know that his family is entangled with the factory''s customers. Seeing that Xu Yunjie finally walked away, Lan Shu was about to leave. I never thought that the leaders of the machinery factory could move so fast, and they rushed to the gate within a few minutes. Therefore, before Lan Shu left, she could only respond casually to the concerned question of the leader of the machinery factory. She suddenly met someone she knew before and was pestered by him to borrow money. Lan Shu didn''t make it too clear, and left the matter vague. But the workers who were watching at the gate of the factory saw the ins and outs of the matter with their own eyes. After Lan Shu left, they immediately reported to the leader. So, Xu Yunjie once again offended Director Lan of the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory, which made the leaders of the machinery factory very angry. The last time they sent Xu Yunjie to Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory to deliver machines, they wanted Xu Yunjie to apologize to Director Lan. But now it seems that Xu Yunjie''s apology is definitely unreasonable, and it will annoy Director Lan even more! So at the leadership meeting of the machinery factory that afternoon, some leaders had already mentioned¡ª "Xu Yunjie from the technical department came to the factory for a month or two, but he didn''t see the results of his work, and caused a lot of trouble." "It will be a disaster for such an employee to stay in the factory sooner or later. I propose to expel him from the factory!" "agree." "Reconsideration." "Then let''s do it." Just like that, with a few words from the leaders of Linjiang City Machinery Factory, the fate of such a small person in the factory as Xu Yunjie was decided. When Xu Yunjie had to find Li Xiumei again, asked Li Xiumei to borrow money, sent his elder sister away, and returned to the factory, he found that the notice of his dismissal had been posted on the bulletin board... "I haven''t done anything wrong, you can''t fire me!" Xu Yunjie tried hard to defend himself, but at this time, no one listened to his explanation anymore. And he just borrowed money from Li Xiumei, plus the previous 260 yuan, a total of more than 300 yuan, and he still expects to use his salary to pay back the debt. As a result, his job is gone now! Xu Yunjie couldn''t imagine what would happen to Li Xiumei if she knew that she lost her job and couldn''t pay her back? Xu Yunjie is scared... He doesn''t have a job anyway, so he doesn''t plan to pay back the money! So he didn''t do anything, and quietly left Linjiang City alone that night¡ª ¡­ On the other side, after Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County, the next day happened to be the weekend. The one-story house with a yard that she agreed to buy a few days ago, the owner returned from Linjiang City during the weekend break, and signed a real estate transfer contract with Lan Shu, the buyer. After buying the house, Lan Shu didn''t live in it immediately, but hired a few masons to simply renovate the house. Being worried about excessive formaldehyde, Lan Shu just asked the workers to paint the walls, and bought some unpainted furniture. As for tile floors, there are no such things in the county, so if you want to paste them, you can only go to the city to see them. But Lan Shu doesn''t have much time right now, so the matter of the tiles can only be postponed. Waiting for the workers to be found and the furniture to be looked after, she explained to Secretary Tang that she boarded the bus the next day, and then took the train to Kyoto. Lan Shu and Yu Yuan, the owner of the clothing agency in Kyoto, agreed to go to Kyoto in three to five days. When they arrived in Kyoto, it happened to be the fifth day¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, Blue House. Since the Chinese New Year, Lan Xinya has been in a bad state of mind. For this reason, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan''s various advices were of no use. Lan Weicheng felt that when he was in a bad mood, he would go out and meet people of all kinds, and he would gradually become cheerful. So he proposed to let the adopted daughter go to the counter of the mall to help sell things, and pay the adopted daughter twice the salary of the counter staff. But when Lan Xinya learned that her father wanted her to work and sell things at the counter, Lan Xinya felt that it was too embarrassing for a girl to show her face in public, so she refused decisively. She even thought, if she was her father''s biological daughter, her father might be reluctant to let her work at the counter? So it¡¯s not the biological gap, it¡¯s just that big! Xu Shan could probably understand that her adopted daughter didn''t want to work at the counter, so she entrusted her relationship and planned to arrange Xinya to work as a secretary in a factory in the suburbs of Kyoto. Although Lan Xinya was not too satisfied with this job, she reluctantly agreed. She always has to come out of the previous state, stand in front of people with a radiant face again, and let everyone know that she is fine. Today is Lan Xinya''s first day at work. She got up early in the morning to wash, and then changed into a new set of clothes she bought at the mall two days ago. This is a set of jacket and trousers made of light gray thin wool. She wears the clothes, which look very professional. After changing her gentle appearance before, she seems to become sassy and neat in an instant. Doesn''t Gu Cheng like successful women like Lan Shu? Now, she will also make herself stronger, capable, and have a career! (end of this chapter) Chapter 153: cant eat Chapter 153 Can''t eat Lan Shu''s side, the train arrives at 6:10. After leaving the station, she took a bus from near the Kyoto Railway Station to the compound where Lan''s family was located. When she entered the gate of the compound, because of her outstanding appearance, she had already been remembered by the guard during the Chinese New Year, so this time she passed without hindrance. It''s still early because I didn''t eat by the roadside in the morning. It was past seven o''clock, and my parents hadn''t gone to work yet. So when Lan Shu knocked on the door of Lan''s house, Lan Weicheng opened the door not long after. At this time, Xu Shan was frying eggs in the kitchen, and the rice porridge was already cooked. Before Lan Weicheng opened the door, he was still wondering, who would come to his house early in the morning? After opening the door, he was surprised to find that it was his daughter who came to Kyoto! "Shu Shu, come in quickly." Lan Weicheng didn''t ask his daughter what he was doing when he came to Beijing. Then he half turned around and yelled loudly towards the kitchen, "Daughter-in-law, fry two more eggs, our daughter is here!" Lan Weicheng''s voice was quickly heard by Lan Xinya who was going downstairs. Lan Xinya thought her father asked her mother to cook more eggs for her to eat. was about to tell her mother that she couldn''t eat much in the morning, but when she went downstairs, she saw Lan Shu sitting on the sofa facing her father! "Why are you here!" Lan Xinya was surprised. Lan Shu has been away from Kyoto for how long, why is she back again? Could it be that she plans to live in Lan''s house in the future? Lan Xinya really doesn''t want to be under the same roof as Lan Shu. Hearing Lan Xinya''s voice, Lan Shu just raised her head and glanced at her lightly, without speaking. Besides, Lan Weicheng has already met the surprised gaze of his adopted daughter. He looked at his adoptive daughter seriously, and answered seriously, "Shushu is our daughter, she often goes home when she is free, what''s so strange about that?" Besides, Lan Weicheng was very upset when the adoptive daughter questioned his biological daughter''s intention in surprise. As if his own daughter were an outsider¡ª In the kitchen, Xu Shan heard her husband''s words and guessed that her biological daughter had returned home. She immediately poked her head out to check the situation, and sure enough, she saw her daughter! Xu Shan was very happy. She hadn''t seen her for almost a month, and when she saw her child again, she almost cried with joy. "Shu Shu, sit down first, Weicheng come in and serve Shu Shu a meal!" She still has to master the heat of the fried eggs, so she asked her husband to help. Looking at the way her parents moved together for Lan Shu, serving Lan Shu rice and fried eggs, Lan Xinya felt sore in her heart... In her impression, her parents didn''t seem to treat her like this! The fact is true. Because Lan Xinya grew up with Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, the husband and wife dote on her, but they have long been accustomed to her existence. Lan Shu is different¡ª The lost and recovered biological daughter has not been with them all year round. After finally returning home, they will of course be more excited. So a few minutes later, Lan Shu sat at the dining table at home, quietly eating the breakfast prepared by her parents, while Lan Xinya stared, unable to eat! "I''m going to work!" After saying this, Lan Xinya got up and went out the door. "Xinya, leave after dinner!" Lan Weicheng persuaded from behind. "Eat some, kid..." Xu Shan sighed helplessly. And on the dining table, Lan Xinya''s breakfast has not been touched... ¡­ At home, after eating, Lan Shu didn''t rush to the mall to meet Yu Yuan, but went upstairs to rest for a while. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan each had work to do, and when they saw their daughter going upstairs, they left the house one after another. But before leaving, Xu Shan said that she would come back to cook at noon, and asked her daughter what she wanted to eat? She stopped by to buy it when she got off work. Lan Shu is not very picky about what she eats, she didn''t keep Xu Shan too busy, she just said that she could eat whatever she wanted. Feeling Xu Shan''s concern for her, Lan Shu is very glad that she has her current identity and has a family who cares about her. As for Lan Xinya, because she didn''t have breakfast, she was already hungry not long after she arrived at the unit. This is the first day I came to report to the unit. Lan Xinya''s original conception of her work situation was that she was refreshed and able to work with ease. She will adapt to work as soon as possible and do her job well. But when she actually got to work and started her work arrangement for today, Lan Xinya realized that it was not easy to settle accounts. She is a school graduate without any work experience, and she needs a period of time to practice if she wants to get started at work. In the past, even if she encountered difficulties at work, Lan Xinya was able to overcome and solve them patiently. But now, in just a few months, Lan Xinya was first confirmed that she was not the biological child of the family, and then her engagement was cancelled, leaving her emotionally devastated. Now she finally made up her mind to get out of such negative emotions, but on the first day she joined the job, she met Lan Shu¡ª Lan Xinya has always been guarded and sad because Lan Shu''s existence will take away her parents'' love for her. Fortunately, Lan Shu''s job is in Qingyang County, which is far away from Beijing. When her parents can''t see Lan Shu, the family can still live together as before. But now that Lan Shu is here, the harmonious relationship between her and her parents will be destroyed by Lan Shu! The existence of Lan Shu will take away the attention and love from my parents! With such a mood, Lan Xinya has been unable to concentrate on her work, and she even made a mistake when she settled the accounts. If it wasn''t for her to go through the review of the senior secretary in charge of leading her in the factory before handing it in to correct her mistakes, once her miscalculation is known to the leader, it will definitely be her unprofessional performance! Stayed until noon, Lan Xinya was hungry and tired. Thinking of the days with Lan Shu, and not knowing how long it will take, Lan Xinya feels that life is hard and difficult... ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu slept comfortably all morning in her room. When she woke up, she had already swept away the exhaustion on the train. With enough energy, she has the drive and energy to go out to discuss business at any time. By the time Lan Shu got up, put on her coat, and opened the door to her room, she could already hear the sound of ''ping ping pong pong'' cooking from the kitchen downstairs. Half an hour ago, before she woke up, Xu Shan had already returned. Xu Shan didn''t know what her daughter liked to eat, so she prepared to fry a few more dishes for lunch. Lan Weicheng didn''t go home for lunch at noon, and there was a staff canteen at Lan Xinya''s side, so it was just the two of them, mother and daughter. Three dishes were fried, one soup, and one bowl of white rice per person. Xu Shan''s cooking skills are not bad, and he is willing to put oil in his cooking, so the taste is quite in line with Lanshu''s taste. After dinner, Lan Shu had other things to do, so she greeted Xu Shan and went out immediately¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 154: simple minded Chapter 154 Simple minded The distance from the compound where the Lan family is located to the largest shopping mall in Kyoto is not too far. Lan Shu got on the bus and arrived at the destination after four or five stops. In the shopping mall, although she and Xiaobai had gone shopping once before, but at that time, the two of them went shopping a bit aimlessly, and they didn''t care where they went. The shopping mall is very large, and the arrangement of stores is intricate, so Lan Shu only knows roughly which shopping mall building Yu Yuan''s store is in. As for a more accurate location, she could only find it while walking. Fortunately, Yuyuan''s store is quite big, but it didn''t take Lan Shu much effort to find the place. Seeing that Director Lan arrived as scheduled, Yu Yuan immediately notified the clothing store owners whom he had invited to Kyoto from other places to come to the store to discuss. But Yu Yuan''s actions were stopped by Lan Shu. "Boss Yu is not in a hurry, let''s talk about the regional manager first." She said. "When this matter is negotiated, the clothing store owners you want to introduce can directly become your direct-sale store customers. This matter must be discussed first for you, so that you can grasp greater benefits in your hands." Lan Shu''s words are very sincere, Yu Yuan''s contacts are his own resources, and she is not going to take advantage of Yu Yuan at all. Hearing what Director Lan said, Yu Yuan really didn''t rush to call someone over. Because it is a working day today, not many people come to the mall to shop, and the store is relatively quiet. So the two of them moved a stool in the store and sat down, chatting in detail about the work content of the regional manager and the salary. According to what Lan Shu said before, the regional manager''s bonus percentage is two points of the net sales profit in the large region. Actually, the commission that Lan Shu offers to the salesmen in the factory to develop direct sales stores overlaps with the job responsibilities of the regional manager. It''s just that the sales in the factory are to find customers for the factory. In addition to customers, regional managers also need to maintain these customers and ensure timely collection of accounts from these customers. Therefore, the regional manager''s bonus is one point higher than that of the salesperson. "Then my clothing store...?" Yu Yuan is already very excited about the job of the regional manager, but since he bought goods in Yunshu Garment Factory, the store''s business has been really good, so he doesn''t want to give up the opportunity to make money in his clothing store. Of course, Lan Shu agreed with Yu Yuan to continue opening the store. "As long as Boss Yu has the energy to take care of both jobs, you are free to open as many stores as you want." Yu Yuan opened a store to sell clothes to the factory, so he can open as many stores as he likes. As long as the factory can supply¡ª The two of them reached an agreement, and Lan Shu immediately took out the contract she had prepared in advance, and signed a work agreement with Yu Yuan. After that, I will meet the clothing store owners that Yu Yuan summoned. The owners of these clothing stores are not all from other places, and there are several shop owners in Kyoto. Of course, there are more out-of-town bosses. With Yu Yuan, the newly appointed regional manager, there is no need for Lan Shu to bother. Regarding the willingness of these people to buy goods in the factory, Yu Yuan directly offered you two choices: agency store and direct sales store. In the end, most of them chose to be an agency. After all, the direct sales store model is because the ''Yunshu'' clothing brand is famous in Qingyang County and surrounding counties. Such fame may not be useful in other regions. Lan Shu knows that before her clothing brand spreads all over the country, most places will still be dominated by agency stores. So she will work hard to develop the business of the clothing factory, and strive to make the ''Yunshu'' brand clothing famous throughout the country as soon as possible! In this afternoon, under the promotion of Yu Yuan, Lan Shu got the sales channels of 19 agency stores. Once the sales of these clothing stores start, the shipment situation in the factory will become tense again¡ª This means that her clothing factory must expand again! In less than half a year, from a small workshop at the beginning to a small garment factory today, it still cannot meet the external sales needs of Lanshu Factory. If the development of the toilet paper factory is based on a solid foundation and the growth is leaps and bounds, then her garment factory is developing and flourishing like a leap. ¡­ In the evening, Lan Shu left the mall and returned to Lan''s house. At home, Xu Shan leaves work early, and Lan Weicheng comes back later. Lan Xinya didn''t quite get used to working on the first day, she was physically and mentally exhausted, so she went upstairs to rest directly after she came back. By the time Lan Weicheng came back, Xu Shan had already prepared three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, four dishes and one soup in the kitchen, and told Lan Shu to go upstairs to ask Lan Xinya to come down for dinner. Xu Shan is still obsessed with getting her two daughters to get along well. For example, now, she is creating opportunities for the two children to communicate with each other. Lan Shu didn''t want to upset Xu Shan, so she went upstairs. Standing in front of Lan Xinya''s room door, she knocked lightly, "Lan Xinya, go downstairs for dinner." "I won''t eat! Don''t call me!" In the room, Lan Xinya''s muffled voice came. She seemed to be wronged and cried just now. Lan Shu must have made Lan Xinya unhappy when she knew she was back. But she didn''t feel that she shouldn''t be back. She is the biological daughter of this family, so there is no problem going back to her own home~! But Lan Xinya, is it worth crying just because of this? Lan Shu really didn''t understand what the heroine was thinking. So she replied, "It''s fine if you don''t eat, then I''ll go downstairs." In the room, Lan Xinya was about to be blown up when she heard Lan Shu''s words! She didn''t eat in the morning, and she was hungry all morning. Although she was full at noon, she couldn''t make it to the evening. If her parents told her to go downstairs for dinner, Lan Xinya would definitely get out of bed and go out immediately. But the person who came was Lan Shu¡ª She just doesn''t want to say a word to Lan Shu, doesn''t want to have any communication with Lan Shu! So as a result of her reluctance, what she created was that she didn''t have any dinner, and she was hungry all night... Lan Shu didn''t call anyone, and when she was walking downstairs, she finally figured out what Lan Xinya was thinking. She felt that the heroine''s mind was too simple. Compared to the situation where Lan Xinya obviously dug a hole for her before and ended up cheating herself, Lan Shu has the tricks of Li Xuan who lived in the same compound as Xiao Bai. Although the girl is not very old, she hides something in the open and in the dark when she speaks, which makes people unable to help but think about it and further misunderstand it. It''s a pity that Li Xuan''s secretly hostile target chose the wrong person. Lan Shu could understand her little thoughts, and she was nothing more than treating herself as an imaginary emotional enemy. But Lan Shu has no romantic thoughts towards Xiao Bai. Even if Xiaobai has good looks, a good figure, and the shape she likes, but the fact that she is underage can immediately persuade her to quit! ¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 155: Better than her dad! Chapter 155 More capable than her dad! At this time, Xiaobai, whom Lan Shu thought of, was taking evening classes at Peking University School of Medicine. School classes are generally held during the day, but there are exceptions. Like this evening, their second graders got together to dissect a real corpse. The corpse soaked in formalin has a pale complexion. Just looking at it can scare away many students, let alone staying with the corpse at night and taking anatomy classes. The reason why the school arranges this way is also to exercise the courage of these medical students, and timid people cannot learn this profession. Many people in the class were under tremendous psychological pressure and couldn¡¯t help but their legs were weak and their hands were trembling, but Xiaobai watched the teacher¡¯s explanation of the corpse¡¯s dissection carefully. He clearly knew how rare this corpse was used by them for class, so there was no fear in his eyes, he could only watch intently and cherish this learning opportunity. Gu Jue''s psychological quality is seen by the teachers in the class. This freshman who has only been enrolled for more than half a month has shown the necessary abilities for medical students, so that every teacher teaching in the class is very optimistic about him. It was past ten o''clock when the evening class ended, and Xiaobai was going back to the dormitory to rest. Before leaving, the classmates who attended the class with him couldn''t help but ask him, "Gu Jue, are you really not afraid?" "What''s there to be afraid of?" Xiao Bai replied calmly. He and these students who are afraid of corpses only have different views on the ¡®props¡¯ used for learning in class, so they have different ideas. In his eyes, that corpse is a learning tool for them, and even a ''teacher'' who can teach them a lot of human body experience. In the eyes of most students, it was just a corpse. "Ah~ Anyway, I won''t be able to sleep tonight." Some students said. "Even if I fall asleep, I will definitely have a nightmare tonight." Listening to the words of the students around him, Xiao Bai gently shook his head. He thinks he wants to continue skipping grades. I don¡¯t know how the third-year study of Peking University School of Medicine is like? Other subjects are generally completed in two years, but medicine is a three-year course. Xiaobai only hopes that the third-year courses will not disappoint him... ¡­ The next day, Kyoto, Lan''s house. Lan Shu got up very late this morning. Yesterday, she had finished the things she had to do in Beijing this time. When she was free, she gave herself a vacation and had a good rest. It''s not easy to come to Kyoto. It takes more than 20 hours to drive back and forth, so Lan Shu plans to stay in Kyoto for a few days before going back to Qingyang County. Tomorrow is the weekend, she plans to visit Xiaobai then. Xiaobai''s school is within the scope of Kyoto. He should go home on weekends, right? It''s time to find him~ Nothing to do today, Lan Shu slept a little longer in the morning. After waking up, there was no one at home. There was food in the kitchen, and the water was warmed in the pot. She got up too late, and the food was already a little cold. Lan Shu finished the breakfast after heating it up. After breakfast, Lan Shu went out for a stroll in the yard with nothing to do. During the few days of Chinese New Year, several nearby neighbors had already recognized her. Now that the biological daughter of the Lan family will come back to live, the old neighbors are very concerned about this girl who grew up in the countryside, but it doesn¡¯t look like the countryside. The little girl is very curious. Someone has seen the leader who got off the white-plate car talk to her before, and treats her very well. So the topic of conversation among the elderly ladies and sister-in-laws in the yard immediately turned to the Lan family. "Weicheng and Xu Shan are really lucky~! There is such a good-looking and capable daughter!" "No! This daughter is much better than the adopted daughter!" "It''s just that I heard that the daughter of the Lan family is working out of town, so I can''t go home often~" "I don''t care what job I want to do, but the Lan family''s current business is still short of the little girl''s salary?" Seeing that Lan Shu was getting closer to them, an old lady who knew her from the past even asked Lan Shu, "Little girl, what do you do? Can you change your job to Kyoto?" Lan Shu has nothing to hide from a group of elderly people who only gossip and have no malicious intentions. Seeing that Fang Fang was curious, she answered a few questions. "I can''t transfer to Kyoto for the time being, but I will have a chance in the future." Lan Shu has indeed considered that Qingyang County will develop into a large garment factory in the future, and the company headquarters will be located in Kyoto, so it will be better to communicate with the directly-operated stores and agency stores under each factory. These elderly ladies, when they heard Lan Shu''s answer, they thought that the little girl''s saying that she might come to Kyoto for work in the future was just an excuse, right? How can there be a job in a small place that can be transferred to Kyoto? Just thinking about it, suddenly a voice came from not far away¡ª¡ª "Director Lan, do you live here too?" Lan Shu followed the voice and quickly recognized that the woman in her thirties who was walking towards her from a distance was one of the nineteen clothing store owners that Yu Yuan introduced to her yesterday. The female owner who opened a clothing store in Kyoto! "Director Blue?" On the side, the old sister-in-law and old ladies were stunned. Until they saw with their own eyes that Liu Ruyi, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family who was famous for doing business like Lan Weicheng, walked up to the little girl of the Lan family in the yard. said with a smile on his face, "Director Lan, so you are Lan Weicheng''s biological daughter?" As Liu Ruyi said, she looked closer at Lan Shu. At this time, the old ladies and sisters-in-law who gathered around chatting and chatting finally understood that the "Director Lan" that Sun''s daughter-in-law Liu Ruyi said was really the biological daughter of the Lan family! Before they thought that the little girl was working in other places, and the Lan family didn''t lack her salary. But now, the little girl is the factory director, and he, Lan Weicheng, has not yet reached the level of factory director! So the biological daughter of the Lan family is really capable, much more capable than her father! Look, to be treated respectfully by Liu Ruyi without putting on the airs of elders is enough to show that the biological daughter of the Lan family is much higher than Liu Ruyi in terms of status. In such a comparison, Lan Weicheng was also compared by his own daughter~! Lan Shu didn''t expect to meet people she knew while talking to the old neighbors in the compound. Didn''t expect Boss Liu, who opened a clothing store in the east of the capital, to live in the compound. After Boss Liu revealed her identity, Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Yes." "Boss Liu, why are you here?" Lan Shu asked. "I live in a compound, and my man works in a public office, so I can''t get much money, so I went out to do business." As he spoke, Liu Ruyi added, "I am familiar with your dad. When I was young, I was wild and boyish, so I often played with your dad." (end of this chapter) Chapter 156: Control your husband in the right way Chapter 156 Control Your Husband in the Right Way Although Liu Ruyi looks to be in her early thirties, she is actually almost forty, about the same age as Lan Weicheng. In the past two years, she saw that Lan Weicheng''s business was doing well, so she started to "enter the water" and opened a clothing store. She and Lan Weicheng both followed the same business path, and were playmates when they were young, so Liu Ruyi and Lan Weicheng have a good relationship on weekdays. So now Liu Ruyi looks at Lan Shu''s eyes and feels very kind. Lan Shu didn''t expect her family to have such a relationship with Boss Liu, so she couldn''t help but have a deeper impression of Boss Liu than other agency owners. And when Liu Ruyi learned that Lan Shu was her own child, she invited Lan Shu to sit at home whenever she said anything. That night, Liu Ruyi was the host and invited the Lan family to her house for a light meal. Except for Lan Xinya who excused herself from going, Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan and Lan Shu were all present. It was also at this time that Lan Weicheng knew that the clothing factory opened by his daughter had expanded so much! Even Liu Ruyi''s clothing store in Kyoto has become one of the cooperative merchants in her daughter''s factory. What should I do if the daughter is too good and the father seems too incompetent? Lan Weicheng felt that he had to add a few more counters in the mall! ¡­ The next day, Saturday. Peking University School of Medicine has no class today, the students are free, some catch up on sleep in the dormitory, and some meet up and go out together. Students who are close to home will also go home for two days. Xiaobai did not go home, but went to the school library to read. So after Lan Shu arrived at Gu''s house today, she didn''t see the person she wanted to see. Although Xiaobai is not there, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo are both at home. At noon, under the warm hospitality of Mrs. Wei and Xiaobai''s father, Lan Shu stayed at Gu''s house for dinner. This meal is still cooked by Gu Anguo, with four dishes and one soup. After lunch, Lan Shu was about to get up to help clear the table, but was stopped by Wei Qiushuang. "How can I let the guests clean up?" While she was speaking, Gu Anguo had consciously packed up the dishes on the dining table and brought them into the kitchen. After visiting the Gu family several times, Lan Shu discovered that Wei Qiushuang had a good way of controlling her husband. Xiaobai''s father was trained by Wei Qiushuang, and basically took care of all the housework in the family. It''s hard to imagine a leader of a public office who is famous and attracts attention outside, but is a ''strict wife'' at home. From Gu Anguo''s behavior in front of his wife Wei Qiushuang, Lan Shu thought of Xiaobai. Xiaobai also seems to work neatly and does housework very well. Is this genetic? Aside, Wei Qiushuang saw the confusion on Lan Shu''s face, so she explained something casually. "When a man loves a woman, he will willingly do housework. At the beginning, I also fell in love with Gu Anguo, so I married him without hesitation. I am very fortunate. After more than ten years, this man still treats me as before. good." Wei Qiushuang smiled proudly as he spoke. And Lan Shu saw a happy expression on Wei Qiushuang''s face. It is really rare for Wei Qiushuang to meet a man who has been good to her for more than ten years. Immediately afterwards, she heard Wei Qiushuang sigh, "I don''t know which girl our Gu Jue will treat so well in the future~" While speaking, Wei Qiushuang observed Lan Shu''s reaction without leaving any trace. It''s a pity that she didn''t notice any abnormal emotions on Lan Shu''s face. After hearing what Wei Qiushuang said, Lan Shu actually thought about it. Who will Xiaobai treat well in the future? Then she really doesn''t know. As for Xiaobai taking the initiative to take care of the housework when he was in Tianshui Village and Qingyang County, Lan Shu didn''t think too deeply about it. She just felt that life forced her to do it, right? After lunch, Lan Shu drank tea with Mrs. Wei and chatted for a while. When she was about to leave the Gu family, she happened to meet Li Xuan who would visit the Gu family almost every weekend. The Li family and the Gu family lived in the same large courtyard, so since Li Xuan became the Gu family''s ''benefactor'', she often visited the Gu family unilaterally. Today she came here mainly to see Gu Jue. Unfortunately, she didn''t meet the person she wanted to meet, instead she met Lan Shu. Li Xuan knew that Lan Shu had come to the capital, and she immediately became on guard! She thought that Lan Shu, like herself, came to Gu''s family to gain a sense of presence. So Li Xuan felt that her guess was right. Sure enough, this woman who came from a small place had thoughts about Gu Jue! "When did Miss Lan come to the capital? Didn''t you see Gu Jue after you came?" Li Xuan said in a soft voice, looking curious. "By the way, Ms. Lan may not know that although Gu Jue is studying in the capital, he sometimes doesn''t come back on weekends. I wonder how long Ms. Lan plans to stay in Kyoto this time? Maybe she can catch up with Gu Jue when he comes back next week. Home." Lan Shu couldn''t help but look at Li Xuan''s face several times at Li Xuan''s words. This girl is so young, she has no teacher at all about ''tea''. Don''t think she can''t hear it, Li Xuan''s words clearly tell herself that she knows Xiaobai''s school situation very well. I also felt that I couldn''t stay longer in Kyoto, so I had no chance to meet Xiaobai. Besides, Wei Qiushuang did not expect Li Xuan to come to the door at this time. Hearing what Li Xuan and Lan Shu said, although Wei Qiushuang didn''t notice anything, she still felt that it sounded weird? But Wei Qiushuang also wanted to know about a question Li Xuan asked. "By the way, Miss Lan, how long will you stay in Kyoto this time?" she asked. Although it seems that her son has no hope of catching up with the little girl Lan Shu, but the little girl finally came here, and it is best for her silly son to meet him. Since it was Mrs. Wei''s question, Lan Shu thought about it for a while and answered seriously. "It''s a few days, but not until next week," she said. In Qingyang County, the business of her two factories did not allow her to leave for too long. In addition, now that she has come to Kyoto to win 19 clothing agency stores from all over the world, the subsequent distribution of goods and the continued expansion of the clothing factory are inseparable from her going back to take charge of the overall situation. So Lan Shu plans to go back in two or three days. When Wei Qiushuang heard Lan Shu''s answer, she thought she should find someone to go to Peking University School of Medicine to deliver a message to her son later. Whether the two will meet in the end, Wei Qiushuang doesn''t know. But as a mother, she must do what she should do for her son. Looking at the way Gu Jue''s mother was talking to Lan Shu, Li Xuan was obviously much warmer than herself. She is envious, but she can''t show this envious emotion. "Mrs. Wei is really kind to Sister Lanshu." Li Xuan said from the side, and her address changed from ''Miss Lan'' to ''Sister Lanshu''. These words make people sound like a little daughter is jealous, but this kind of precise performance of the innocent little girl''s character does not make people feel disgusted at all. On the contrary, it is a bit playful and cute. (end of this chapter) Chapter 157: A family man who loves to work Chapter 157 The Family-Guarded Man Loves Labor Li Xuan''s performance made Lan Shu look at her again. Lan Shu even sighed in her heart, if Lan Xinya had Li Xuan''s brains, even if she was in the Lan family, it would not affect her status in the Lan family. It''s a pity that the heroine''s victory over the supporting actress mostly depends on the "protagonist aura". Although there are such things as IQ and brains, there are not many of them. Lan Shu was about to leave the Gu family, even though Li Xuan showed up, she didn''t let her stay for too long. bid farewell to Mrs. Wei, declined Mrs. Wei''s kindness to ask the driver to take her back, and then Lan Shu left. Once she left here, Li Xuan didn''t ignorantly continue to stay. She also greeted Mrs. Wei, and soon left the Gu family. ¡­ In the evening, Peking University School of Medicine. Xiaobai came out of the library, and as soon as he got back to the dormitory, he heard from his roommate that the head of the department came to him in the afternoon. Because no one saw him, the head of the department only left a few words for his roommate to convey. "Gu Jue, the director said that your family called and said that you have a friend who came to Kyoto and asked you to go back when you are free." "By the way, the news also said that your friend who came to Kyoto will leave in a few days." Hearing what his roommate said, Xiaobai hardly hesitated, and immediately guessed who the ''friend'' in the message was! Since he lost his memory, he no longer has any memory of the past, and his only friend is Lan Shu! So Lan Shu came to Kyoto? When did you come? And Lan Shu went to his house to look for him today? Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly felt annoyed that he didn''t go home today... But it¡¯s not too late to come back now, right? So that night, Xiaobai left the school. Because the time has passed the bus boarding time, Xiaobai ran all the way home. The whole journey is more than 20 kilometers... ¡­ The next morning, when Lan Shu was having breakfast at home, there was a knock on the door. Lan Weicheng went to open the door, and soon came in with Gu Jue, the youngest son of the Gu family. When Lan Shu went to Gu''s house yesterday, she learned that Xiao Bai didn''t go home this week, but spent time at school. She thought that she would never see Xiao Bai this time when she came to Beijing. But now that Xiaobai came suddenly, did the elders of Gu''s parents tell him that he had come to the capital? Besides this, Lan Shu couldn''t think of any other reasons. It seems that in the Gu family, Xiaobai''s parents are quite supportive of their son''s association with him. This made Lan Shu''s impression of Xiaobai''s parents already good, but now it''s much better. Xiao Bai didn¡¯t come here empty-handed. He waited at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative early in the morning. As soon as the supply and marketing cooperative opened, he went in and bought some snacks such as twists and fruits. The snacks at the Kyoto Supply and Marketing Cooperative are more delicious than those in the county, and they have a full range of varieties. Xiaobai remembers that Lanshu likes to eat sweet things, but she dare not eat more because of weight loss. So he didn''t buy much of each item, but there were many types, and the total weight was several catties! "Has Xiaobai eaten?" Seeing Xiaobai put down the gift he brought, Lan Shu asked casually. "Have not eat yet." Xiao Bai always tells the truth in front of Lan Shu, and never lies. Seeing his answer like this, Lan Shu wanted Xiao Bai to have breakfast at home. It''s just that I didn''t do much to come to her house. "Sit down and wait, I''ll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat after dinner." After speaking, Lan Shu lowered her head and speeded up to finish her breakfast as soon as possible. Aside, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were surprised to see their daughter''s tone and casual attitude towards Gu''s son. The precious little son of the Gu family, because he was born to Wei Qiushuang, many people in the capital circle know him. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had heard a lot about the youngest son of the Gu family before. According to rumors, when Gu Jue was young, he was famously naughty in the courtyard. He had a strong personality and was domineering. At the age of seven or eight, he dared to press down on the ground and beat up children in their teens! At that time, because of the face of Gu Jue, his grandfather, Wei Jin, everyone could only flatter Gu Jue with such fighting power at a young age. He was really a young talent. Later, I heard that Gu Jue''s temperament became more and more unbearable, so he was taken to the army by Mr. Wei for several years of training. When he came out again, he gave off a much calmer impression, but he wasn''t anything to talk about. Belongs to the type that no one dares to mess with him, but he dares to mess with anyone. Although Gu Jue is young, his reputation has spread. Some people say that he has simply inherited the demeanor of his grandfather Wei Jin when he was young. Except for his grandfather Wei Jin, no one can control him. But now, in front of their daughter, Gu Jue is as obedient as a little sheep¡ª Is this really Gu Jue? Or, after Gu Jue lost his memory, his personality also changed? Lan Weicheng didn''t know that his personality had not changed, but Gu Jue in front of his daughter was really a good boy. ¡­ Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan still had things to do, and they left home after a while. Lan Xinya has learned to be smart in the past two days. She didn''t want to see Lan Shu at home, so she got up early in the morning and went to the small shop outside to have breakfast. Lan Xinya doesn''t like fried eggs very much, but Xu Shan cooks eggs for her family every morning. Xu Shan thinks eggs are nutritious, while Lan Xinya prefers to eat meat buns outside. Now her preferences can finally be settled after eating out every day. When Lan Xinya finished her meal and went to work, Lan Shu and Lan Shu entered the kitchen. She made some vegetable pancakes and egg drop soup for Xiaobai using the few kinds of ingredients at home. Pancakes are made by mixing eggs, flour, and chopped vegetable leaves together, adding oil and salt, stirring well, pouring them into a frying pan and frying them into vegetable pancakes. Because of the eggs mixed in this kind of cake, the skin is burnt and the inside is soft. There are all pasta, eggs, and vegetables, and the nutrition is balanced. Lanshu put a little bit of sugar in the egg drop soup, with a light sweetness, plus soft vegetable cakes, Xiao Bai ate four bowls of big cakes before stopping. "I''m stuffed." As Xiaobai said, he picked up the toilet roll on the dining table, tore off a piece, and wiped his mouth. After eating and drinking enough, Lan Shu didn''t need to talk about the rest of the work. Xiao Bai consciously put away the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them. Lan Shu stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Xiaobai stand by the sink washing dishes. She suddenly thought of the scene yesterday at Gu''s house where Xiaobai''s father cleaned up the dishes and consciously did housework. It is true that like a father, like a son, men who take care of their families love to work~ As for what Wei Qiushuang said about men willing to do housework for the women they like, Lan Shu has long since forgotten about it¡ª Just a preview, there will be an update in the early hours of tomorrow night ~ 20,000 words are expected to be updated! And I haven¡¯t asked for votes recently, cuties remember to vote after watching the update~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 158: investment ideas Chapter 158 Investment Ideas On the weekend, Xiao Bai only has one day to rest, and Lan Shu will leave Kyoto in two days. So on this day, the two of them didn''t plan to go out for a stroll, but made a pot of tea, served the snacks brought by Xiao Bai, and sat in the living room to chat. Lan Shu felt that Xiaobai, as the major shareholder of the toilet paper factory, should know the recent situation of the toilet paper factory. Even though Xiaobai had said before that she was fully responsible for all matters in the factory, Lan Shu still took the development of the factory, the situation of competitors, and the leading position of the brand ''Yunrou'' in the field of sanitary napkins, I told Xiaobai all about it. Xiaobai still doesn¡¯t know that the toilet paper factory has industry competitors. But such an opponent is really nothing in front of Lan Shu. He just took the lead, and he no longer has any competitiveness. Xiao Bai has always known that Lan Shu is very talented in business, as if she was born to eat this bowl of rice. But he found that he still underestimated Lan Shu''s ability to plan business strategies and keep the overall situation in mind! When he heard about the spare parts of different sizes of sanitary napkins, Xiaobai did not forget to mention¡ª "Sister Lan, those spare parts are all your own ideas, so all the patent fees received should be transferred to your personal name, not to the factory." Xiaobai really spared no effort in trying his best, hoping to send money to Lan Shu. Regarding this, Lan Shu nodded in agreement after a brief consideration. Anyway, the patent fee is not much, compared with the business in the factory, it is simply nothing. You can accept it yourself, as long as the major shareholders are happy. After talking about the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu didn''t forget to mention a few words about her garment factory. When Xiaobai learned about the current scale of the garment factory, and the sales of two to three hundred thousand before the end of last year, and a profit of over one hundred thousand, his eyes widened in shock! When Xiaobai and Lanshu wholesaled fabrics and bought clothes together, they knew that this business was very profitable. Waiting for the garment factory to start up, Xiaobai didn''t know that the income of a garment factory is so big! However, soon, he heard Lan Shu say, "It is not the clothing industry that really makes money. The electronic information technology industry will definitely make the most money in the future." Lan Shu was very sure about this. "It''s a pity that I''m not familiar with the situation in that industry, and now is not the time to rush in." She knows what is the most profitable, and she wants to invest in the past, but the current situation is that even if she wants to invest, she doesn''t know who to invest in, and whether the investor is reliable. So she can only take one step at a time in the industry that she can control. Hearing what Lan Shu said, although Xiao Bai didn''t know why she was so confident that the electronic information technology industry would make money, he took this matter to heart. He just remembered that during the Chinese New Year at his grandfather''s house, he met the son of a grandfather''s comrade-in-arms, a young man a few years older than him, who seemed to be engaged in electronic information. He didn''t know about it at the beginning. He heard someone mention that not long ago, that person wanted to engage in electronic information instead of pursuing the good road of joining the army and politics. The behavior of the other party can be almost as incomprehensible as him, who has paved the way for his family and has a bright future, but wants to study medicine. It was also because someone compared the other party with himself that Xiao Bai noticed this person. Now it seems that maybe he can invest in the other party''s field. After investing in the toilet paper factory, Xiaobai got a taste of the sweetness of investment due to the big profits. Although he is not expected to do business, investing may be a good choice. Unknowingly, the whole morning passed like this. Xu Shan came back to cook at noon and saw that the youngest son of the Gu family hadn''t left yet. Although she was surprised, she also expressed her welcome. It is rare for their family to be able to establish a relationship with a family with such a prominent and background as the Gu family. Even if they dislike or even hate Gu Cheng of the Gu family, the rest of the Gu family can still get along. With Xiaobai around, even at Lan''s house, Xu Shan couldn''t cook in the end. Xiao Bai felt that he hadn''t seen Lan Shu for a long time, so he especially wanted to show in front of Lan Shu. Cooking a meal for Lan Shu and letting Lan Shu taste whether her skills have improved has become something he is looking forward to. Seeing Gu Jue''s firm attitude, Xu Shan could only let Gu Jue into the kitchen half worried and half suspicious. She even asked her daughter uneasy, "Shushu, Gu Jue... really knows how to cook?" "He will, and he''s doing pretty well." Lan Shu replied, only to remember that Xu Shan had never eaten something made by Xiaobai. That¡¯s just right, today is a good opportunity for Xiaobai to justify his cooking skills¡ª When Xu Shan came back at noon, she went to the supply and marketing agency to buy ingredients, good pork belly, and some vegetables. In the kitchen, Xiao Bai didn''t cook too many dishes because there were not many people eating. One stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fried peppers with sliced ??meat, and one braised pork. Dried rice is rice mixed with millet. The dishes are attractive and the rice is fragrant. This is Xu Shan''s evaluation of Xiaobai''s rice. She really didn''t expect that the youngest son of the Gu family would have such a skill! After tasting the braised pork, Xu Shan felt that she was completely defeated by a teenager in cooking... Thinking of how my daughter eats at home these days, and thinking that her daughter has always eaten meals cooked by Gu Jue... Xu Shan suddenly felt that she was not competent enough to be a mother. The food she cooks for her daughter is not as delicious as a young man''s cooking? Xu Shan was a little hit! But soon, Xu Shan regained her strength and determined to practice cooking hard in the future! When her daughter comes home to live next time, she will definitely let her daughter eat better meals! ¡­ In the evening, Xiaobai didn''t continue to stay at Lan''s house for dinner, but went back to school. In the afternoon, Lan Shu asked Xiaobai about his outstanding academic performance. After learning that Xiaobai skipped a grade not long after the start of school, now he has the idea of ??continuing to skip a grade. Lan Shu knew Xiaobai''s learning ability a long time ago. Knowing Xiaobai''s current study situation, she really admired him, and even admired him a little. It''s not the admiration for Xiaobai, but the admiration that ordinary hardworking players have for Xueba. However, Lan Shu then thought that Xiaobai, a top student, was discovered by herself. She took him to take the exam and discovered his talent. This made Lan Shu a little proud. She really has a pair of eyes that are good at discovering. Looking at it this way, I¡¯m pretty good~ After sending Xiaobai away, Lan Shu also went back to her room to pack her things. She will return to Qingyang County after staying for two days. But before going back, she still planned to go to Lan Weicheng''s counter in the mall to have a look. Actually, this is also what Lan Weicheng meant. Lan Weicheng''s original words are that his daughter can''t even know where her family business is, right? Before he recognized Lan Shu, Lan Weicheng also told Lan Xinya to go to the counter and learn more about his business. But Lan Xinya found an excuse to prevaricate her. (end of this chapter) Chapter 159: Is there a way to get in touch? Chapter 159 Is there a contact? Lan Xinya is not interested in counter business. She felt that her father could do the family business, and she didn''t want to get involved at all. Lan Weicheng could probably see what his child was thinking, so he didn''t force it. This time Lan Shu went home to live, he just mentioned something to Lan Shu, and got Lan Shu''s consent. Lan Weicheng was very happy, and even had the idea that his own business would finally be succeeded by someone. So the next day, after breakfast at home, Lan Weicheng got on his bicycle, took his daughter with him, and went to the place where his family did business¡ªthe counter of Huaxia Mall. The location of Huaxia Shopping Mall is some distance from Lan''s house. After more than 20 minutes, the father and daughter arrived at the Huaxia Shopping Mall with the best location and the most famous reputation in Kyoto. Different from the clothing store, where several buildings are all selling clothes, the floor area of ??the store here is not so large. A six-storey building of nearly 1,000 square meters, both in appearance and decoration, is bigger than that of the clothing store. It looks a lot more upscale. In the six-story building, each floor sells different types of things. The first floor is divided into the east area and the west area. One side sells various desktop, hanging, ceiling fans, electric oven fans and other small appliances, and the other side sells bicycles and TV sets. The second floor is also partitioned, selling washing machines, refrigerators, radios, tapes, stereos and the like. Half of the third floor sells all kinds of watches, as well as creams, eyebrow pencils, rouge, and lipsticks for women, and the other half sells leather shoes. Because the floors above the third floor are too high and the traffic is small, they basically sell relatively cheap household goods, such as pots and pans, tables, chairs, benches, brooms, dustpans and the like. Lan Weicheng has six counters in the mall, one on the first floor selling electric fans, and two on the second floor selling radios, tapes, and stereos. There is also a watch counter on the third floor, and the last two counters sell leather shoes. Lan Shu followed Lan Weicheng around the second and third floors, and found that the scope of his business, the customers are mainly men. This won''t work~! Lan Shu knows one thing very well, no matter what time it is, women''s money will be the best to earn! So 80% of her clothing factory is women''s clothing, and men''s clothing has few styles and quantities, and they are only sold as accessories. After learning about the monthly income of several counters, Lan Shu made a rough calculation in her mind. After deducting the cost from the counter income, minus the counter rent, and the few counter sales staff hired, the monthly income will be about 3,000 to 4,000, and it will be a little more during the New Year''s Eve. But even so, Lan Shu felt that Lan Weicheng could do better in this business! "Dad, didn''t you say you wanted to add more counters? What are you going to sell?" Lan Shu asked. Lan Weicheng has already thought about this issue. "Although the most profitable things are TV sets, washing machines, refrigerators and other big items, the sources of these businesses in the capital are basically in the hands of Gu Cheng. It is too difficult for outsiders to do so. With the current relationship between our family and Gu Cheng, I wouldn''t think about it." Lan Weicheng said, sighed, and then continued, "So I plan to stick to my old business. Among the counters in our family, the tape business is good, and I plan to add another counter." Lan Weicheng hesitated a little while talking, and said other ideas. "Although our watch business is quite good, but the cost is too high, one counter is enough, so maybe we can add another leather shoe counter." Hearing Lan Weicheng''s thoughts, Lan Shu shook her head slightly, "Dad, have you ever considered building a cosmetics counter? Those creams, eyebrow pencils, lipsticks, etc. are low in cost and high in profit, so you don''t have to worry about selling them." As soon as Lan Shu finished speaking, she heard Lan Weicheng''s slightly surprised answer, "I''m a male boss who sells women''s things..." "So what''s the matter? As long as you can make money, there is no distinction between men and women in business." Lan Shu said. Lan Weicheng thinks about it, and this is indeed the reason. "Then..." He just raised his head hesitantly, when he heard his daughter say. "Dad, if you really want to add counters, you can add cosmetics counters, and the recruiters must be good-looking, have good skin, and know how to make up." ¡°Selling goods with beautiful makeup every day will definitely attract many female customers to come to buy cosmetics.¡± After finishing speaking, Lan Shu added, "The salary of such a beautiful teller is slightly higher than the normal salary. On the day of work, I will give her a set of cosmetics and let her make up every day. I believe it is not difficult to recruit people." My daughter has already given him an idea, Lan Weicheng heard it, and thought it was a good idea. so¡­ "Then let''s do it like this! There will be no more leather shoe counters for the time being, and the next step is to sell cosmetics!" Lan Weicheng made a formal decision. Lan Shu nodded, and then she also had some thoughts about Lan Weicheng''s decision to open a tape counter. "Dad, if you want tapes to sell well, you must use the matching speakers, but the speakers are too big and expensive, and there are not many families using speakers now. If you want to sell more tapes, you must have Portable and affordable music listening device.¡± Lan Shu thought of the Walkman, a small broadcasting device that can be inserted into a cassette to play songs. This device is equipped with a buckle, which can be stuck on the belt around the waist, and the content in the tape can be played anytime and anywhere, so it is called a Walkman. Although the former Lan Shu was not born in the 1980s, when she was in school, she read books on the history of modern domestic development. It says that the Walkman was launched in the 1980s, but the earliest production was actually between the 1970s and 1980s. That is to say, the Walkman was successfully invented about a year ago, but now for some reason, it has not been released for sale. At least this kind of thing has never been heard in China. This year is already 1981. Even if the Walkman is released later than the production time, it is almost time to appear. Lan Shu thinks that Lan Weicheng sells stereos and tapes, so he should be able to get news about the Walkman. That''s why Lan Shu proposed, "Dad, have you heard about this small equipment for playing tapes?" Lan Weicheng frowned slightly upon hearing this. After what his daughter said, he remembered that he had indeed heard of such a thing. Where did he hear it? "Yeah! Someone came to my counter a while ago and said that they could make a tape-playing device called a Walkman, which is a small device that you can hang on your body to listen to tapes." Lan Weicheng recalled. "The other party asked me if I was interested. If I wanted it, I would have to pay 3,000 yuan first. After two months, they would give me 60 small tape players. I thought they were empty-handed liars and drove them away. .¡± Three thousand yuan costs sixty units, and one unit equals fifty yuan, which is not expensive. But from Lan Weicheng''s description of the other party, it should be that the other party does not have so many Walkmans in their hands, and they need money to produce them? if it is like this¡­ "Dad, do you have their contact information?" Lan Shu asked. (end of this chapter) Chapter 160: can do better Chapter 160 can do better Lan Weicheng thought for a while, "Let''s go, follow me to the tape selling counter on the second floor. I remember the note they left me for the phone call, and I casually pressed it under the tape box on the counter." Lan Weicheng remembered correctly, he and Lan Shu went to the counter downstairs to look for it, and indeed they found a note with a phone number written on it. Received the note, Lan Shu had nothing to hesitate, and directly used the ''big brother'' that Lan Weicheng bought for 10,000 yuan during the Chinese New Year to make a phone call¡ª ¡­ At this time, in the western suburbs of Kyoto, in a large farm yard, two young men who looked to be in their early twenties were lying on bunk beds and sleeping soundly. The curtains in the room are drawn, and the light is very dark, but near the window, you can still vaguely see the messy parts on the table. Suddenly, the door of their room was suddenly pushed open from the outside! A urging voice sounded from outside the door. "Lu Wei, Qian Qing, someone called the village chief''s house looking for you, hurry up!" The person who came was Zhou Peng, the nephew of the village chief. Although he and Lu Wei and Qian Qing had not known each other for a long time, they had a good relationship. Before Lu Wei helped him fix the broken stereo at home. Zhou Peng remembered Lu Wei''s goodness, so he helped Lu Wei and Qian Qing speak well to his uncle, the village chief, and agreed to use his uncle''s home phone. However, although the phone can be used, it is charged clearly, one yuan per minute. With no supply and marketing cooperatives nearby, this is already the best result. As soon as the two heard Zhou Peng''s words, they immediately got up from the bed, put on thick coats, and went out to the village chief''s house. On the other side, after Lan Shu made a call, she realized that the person on the other side of the phone was not the one who left the note for Lan Weicheng. After asking about the situation, she hung up the phone and waited another seven or eight minutes before the call returned. come over. Following the heavy black ''Big Brother'' mobile phone the size of a brick, the sound of ''Dididi...'' came, and Lan Shu picked up the phone. Over the phone, a slightly high-pitched youth voice immediately came, "Hello? Who''s the boss?" This sentence is obviously that the young man has given small notes to many shop owners who sell stereos and tapes for the Walkman. It''s a pity that they asked for three thousand, and the feeling of being a white wolf with empty gloves is too obvious, so until now, no shop owner has called him back. Hearing the voice, Lan Shu paused before replying, "About the Walkman, is it convenient for us to meet and discuss in detail?" Hearing the voice of a **** the phone, Qian Qing, who was in charge of answering the phone, froze immediately! He doesn''t remember that he left the phone number for that girl? After all, there are no women in the tape audio business! But he heard that the other party was interested in their Walkman, whether it was a man or a woman, he felt that he should go there. So Qian Qing replied, "Yes, when and where shall we meet?" "How long will it be before the gate on the first floor of Huaxia Shopping Center?" Lan Shu asked. "We need half an hour... No, forty minutes, we can reach Huaxia in forty minutes!" Qian Qing calculated the distance from here to there, and then said. "Okay, then come over as soon as possible, remember to bring samples, even if you don''t have samples, semi-finished products are fine." Lan Shu wanted to buy a Walkman from the other party, but she would not be too blind and give money without looking at anything. So if you want to get money from her, you must let her see something worthy of her money. Hearing what the **** the phone said, Lu Wei was still a little hesitant. He felt that it was not good to show incomplete works. But Qian Qing agreed straight away, "No problem!" After the two parties communicated, they hung up the phone, and Lan Shu just waited for the other party to arrive. Aside, Lan Weicheng was still in the same state as when he first saw his daughter talking about business. His family Shushu was so calm and composed when he called just now, even he felt ashamed. Shu Shu really deserves to be the director of the two factories~! At first glance, you have seen the world! However, soon after, Lan Weicheng will find that his impression of his daughter at this time is still not impressive enough... ¡­ More than half an hour later, in front of Huaxia Shopping Mall, Lan Shu raised her left hand and glanced at the hands of the quartz watch on her wrist. Thirty-five minutes, a little faster than the phone said. At this time, in front of her, there were two young men in their early twenties, wearing old cotton-padded clothes, long scarves, and green stubble on their chins. One was panting while pushing a bicycle, and the other quietly jumped off the back seat of the bicycle. He saw her and walked towards her. "Hello, my name is Lu Wei." The young man with handsome features, sword-like brows and star-eyed, seemingly quiet personality said, reaching out his hand politely towards Lan Shu. The next second, beside Lan Shu, Lan Weicheng shook hands with her instead of her daughter, "Hello, I am the boss who buys stereos and tapes upstairs in the mall." Behind Lu Wei, Qian Qing parked his bicycle and rushed over immediately. Although he was so tired that he just wanted to breathe heavily, he still had the energy to introduce himself, "Hello, my name is Qian Qing, and I am the person who called you before." During the conversation, Lan Weicheng recognized that Qian Qing was the one who gave him the note on the phone. After hearing the introduction of the two, Lan Shu nodded, "Hello, my name is Lan Shu." After introducing herself, Lan Shu didn''t pause, and cut straight to the point¡ª "Have you brought anything?" She asked, her eyes had already fallen on a cloth bag in Lu Wei''s hand. "Bring it, bring it!" Qian Qing said, and took the cloth bag in Lu Wei''s hand, and took out a small machine about 30 centimeters long and wide, without a casing, and parts could be seen. "This is our Walkman, but it is only a semi-finished product due to financial reasons. If we have money, we can mass-produce it." As Qian Qing said, he took out three batteries from his pocket, and then took out a tape, and stuck the tape into the groove of the semi-finished Walkman. Then he pressed the switch, and two seconds later, the music on the tape came out¡ª Lan Weicheng is the boss who sells stereos and tapes, and he is very knowledgeable about these things. Listening to the sound quality from the semi-finished Walkman, although it is not as high as the sound quality from the big tape recorder, it is really good! The most important thing is that this thing is small and can be carried with you, and the price is not high, you can buy it for only fifty yuan. The purchase price of any tape recorder is 90 or 100 yuan, and a set with a stereo can be sold for 200 to 300 yuan. "This thing we..." Before Lan Weicheng could say the word ''yes'', he was interrupted by Lan Shu''s voice. "This thing is okay, but it should be better." She said in a flat tone, looking up at Lu Wei. Hearing her words, on the opposite side, Lu Wei, who had been very quiet, suddenly met her gaze, with a slight inaudible surprise in his eyes. (end of this chapter) Chapter 161: talk about your conditions Chapter 161 Talk about your conditions "Now this Walkman can only play tapes, right? Besides the sound quality needs to be further improved, I wonder when you will be able to manufacture a Walkman with tape washing and recording functions?" Lan Shu asked. The function she mentioned is only available in large-scale tape recorders. Lan Weicheng didn''t even dare to think about adding a recording function to the small Walkman in the hands of the two of them, but his daughter asked him out¡ª "You want a better Walkman?" When Qian Qing heard this, he didn''t feel embarrassed, but became happy instead. "The Walkman with recording function is not the price before." He said. With this sentence, it already shows that the two of them can achieve the level that Lan Shu requires. Lan Shu nodded, she was very satisfied with this answer. "Since you have this ability, let''s change places and talk about how to cooperate in detail." As soon as she opened her mouth, she had already put the initiative in her own hands. When Lu Wei and Qian Qing followed the father and daughter of the Lan family to the hotel near the Huaxia shopping mall, Qian Qing finally realized, did he listen to the girl too much? Only Lu Wei had noticed this a long time ago, but he didn''t point it out. Because he also wanted to know what kind of collaboration the girl in front of him, who looked young and beautiful, but even the middle-aged man around her subconsciously listened to her, wanted to mention. ¡­ In the private room of the restaurant, because it is still early, around ten o''clock, the restaurant has just opened, and the back kitchen is not ready yet, so it takes a while to order food. Lan Shu is not in a hurry about eating, she mainly thinks this place is convenient for talking about things. Lan Weicheng sat next to his daughter, and his attitude was basically that of his daughter. Because when he was just outside Huaxia Mall, if his daughter hadn¡¯t interrupted him, he would have agreed to order a Walkman of this level, instead of the model with better sound quality and more functions that his daughter said. Everyone is here, the tea is on the table, and Lan Shu gets straight to the point¡ª "If I''m not wrong, you should have the technology to manufacture Walkmans, but you don''t have the funds for mass production, right?" As she spoke, she silently observed the two young men in front of her. Qian Qing talked more, he seemed to be the spokesperson of the two. Lu Wei seemed to talk less and was relatively quiet, but Lan Shu could vaguely see that Qian Qing would often look at Lu Wei''s face intentionally or unconsciously. It shows that among the two, the one who really makes decisions on major events is actually Lu Wei. At this time, after Lan Shu finished speaking, the talkative Qian Qing immediately replied, "That''s right, that''s why I said before that I need you to pay 3,000 yuan first, and the delivery will be made in two months." Lan Shu nodded, "What you''re talking about is just a one-time transaction. Since we will sell Walkmans at the counter in the future, we will definitely not only need one batch. If it is a long-term cooperation, what price can you give?" When Lan Weicheng heard that his daughter was planning to lower the price of a Walkman on the basis of the previous 50 yuan, he was really surprised. In his opinion, fifty is already very cheap. At that time, a Walkman will sell for at least 70 yuan at his counter, or even 80 yuan. This profit is still very profitable. Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Qian Qing really hesitated for a moment. The momentary hesitation made Lan Shu sure that the price could continue to be lowered. "If you really want us to supply for a long time, then forty-five, no less!" Qian Qing said with a slight frown, it seemed that the price was really low to his bottom line. Hearing that the price was lowered, Lan Shu smiled slightly. Qian Qing thought that the price he quoted made the other party very satisfied, and then they waited to collect money to make the Walkman. But then, Qian Qing heard the girl''s voice sound again, "What if I say, I want to use 30,000 yuan to help you open a small Walkman manufacturing and processing factory?" Thirty thousand! That¡¯s not three thousand¡ª Qian Qing originally thought that 3,000 was already a lot, probably because few bosses were willing to pay them in advance to make Walkmans. But now, the other party actually offered 30,000 yuan as soon as they asked! If they get 3,000, they basically rely on him and Lu Wei to enter the parts, make the circuit boards by hand, and then assemble them one by one, which is very time-consuming. Fifty Walkmans, the two of them had to stay up late for two months to produce. If there is a small processing factory, the speed is naturally much faster! But Qian Qing didn''t believe that the other party would be so kind and give them 30,000 yuan directly? That¡¯s thirty thousand! You can buy almost ten houses in Kyoto! At this moment, not to mention Qian Qing, even Lan Weicheng couldn''t calm down! Although he can give 10,000 yuan to his daughter as New Year''s money during the Chinese New Year, that money is also the income from several counters for several months. Although he did have 30,000 yuan, but if he was really asked to take out 30,000 yuan, he was very hesitant, and even hesitant to the end, he would not take it out at all. But the daughter casually reported the number¡ª This is enough to show that 30,000 is nothing to his daughter, so she can say it so easily. Lan Weicheng: ¡­ I feel more and more that he is too incompetent as a father... Different from the shock of Lan Weicheng and Qian Qing, Lu Wei who was on the side had surprise in his eyes, but he still remained calm. "Tell me about your conditions." Before Qian Qing could speak this time, Lu Wei asked. "I want to use this money to buy 59% of the shares in your Walkman technology. We will cooperate to make money in the future. In addition to selling the Walkman produced to our counters, the profits from selling to other merchants will be distributed according to the proportion. Divide the account." Speaking of her plan, Lan Shu was not surprised to see hesitation on Lu Wei''s face. But seeing that he wasn''t surprised by his decision was already beyond Lan Shu''s expectation. Lan Shu''s words made Lu Wei think, and Qian Qing beside Lu Wei was stunned! He didn''t even know that their technology was so valuable! Based on the price of a Walkman for 45, you can buy more than 600 for 30,000 yuan! And the money was just to buy less than 60% of their shares. After this calculation, their Walkman technology is worth more than 50,000 yuan! Qian Qing didn¡¯t even know if their Walkmans could sell that much, but now someone wants to invest money in¡ª If he alone could decide this matter, Qian Qing would definitely agree! But the technology actually belongs to Lu Wei, so Qian Qing immediately looked at Lu Wei and listened to his decision. Besides, when Lu Wei heard the price, he silently calculated in his mind, three yuan bought 59% of the shares of the small processing factory... He was not fascinated by the 30,000 yuan, he even felt that the price of the money was low. But he considered that with the money, they could recruit people to open a processing factory to process Walkmans as soon as possible, and he and Qian Qing would be able to free up their hands in a short time to research and manufacture other audio-visual equipment besides Walkmans. That''s why he hesitated. (end of this chapter) Chapter 162: span of twenty years Chapter 162 A span of twenty years On the opposite side, compared to Lan Weicheng''s entanglement with the 30,000 yuan and hesitation whether it is worthwhile to do so, Lan Shu waited patiently for an answer. After waiting for more than two minutes, Lu Wei finally raised his head to meet her gaze. He said softly, "It''s a pleasant cooperation." Lan Shu smiled slightly, "Happy cooperation." After finishing speaking, she added, "I hope that the Walkman cooperation is just the beginning of our cooperation, and we look forward to continued cooperation in the future." There seemed to be something in what she said, which made Lu Wei, who has always been quiet and steady, show obvious surprise for the first time! Lu Wei felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be able to see through his details and his thoughts? But Lan Shu just felt that since they had the Walkman technology, they might have other technologies in their hands. If they seek cooperation in the future, she has said hello in advance now. When Lu Wei really needs a partner, she will think of herself at the first time. The cooperation was negotiated, and everyone had a meal in this restaurant at noon to celebrate the happy cooperation between the two parties. After lunch, Lan Shu made an agreement with Lu Wei and Qian Qing to sign the contract tomorrow, and then she would give them the first installment of the 30,000 yuan. Sending the two away, Lan Shu turned to look at Lan Weicheng. She had long seen that Lan Weicheng was hesitant to spend such a large amount of 30,000 yuan, but because she was his daughter, Lan Weicheng didn''t say a word of rejection. Now that the outsider left, Lan Shu did have something to say to Lan Weicheng. "Dad, if you feel that the investment of 30,000 yuan is risky and you don''t want to invest, then I can actually do it alone..." "What are you talking about~! Shushu, although it''s your decision, Dad can''t let you take this kind of risk." Even though Lan Weicheng struggled, in the end he felt that even for his daughter, he should take a gamble! Lan Shu really didn''t expect Lan Weicheng, a father, to be able to give away half of his wealth for the sake of his daughter. She calculated that Lan Weicheng had only earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past two years in business. Now he is willing to spend so much money because of his own words. Lan Wei is honestly a good father. But she couldn''t let Lan Weicheng feel that he had to take such a big risk alone this time. If she wants to cooperate, she said it, and she must express it. Plus, if Lan Weicheng is really asked to take out 30,000 yuan at once, it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep at night for a period of time. So Lan Shu decided¡ª "Dad, otherwise we can each get 15,000 yuan. I am very optimistic about this project. Don''t worry, I will definitely not lose money. When I make money, I can also follow the Walkman you know and get rich." Hearing what Lan Shu said, Lan Weicheng didn''t really have the idea of ??making money in the future. His first reaction was that his daughter was sharing the burden for him. Originally, he wanted to say, it¡¯s okay, he can still afford 30,000 yuan. But seeing his daughter''s serious expression, Lan Weicheng finally nodded. It¡¯s okay, even if you lose money in the future, there will be him. My daughter will never worry about money. But soon, Lan Weicheng once again thought of his daughter''s two factories, and one of the clothing factories has business in Kyoto! Perhaps the daughter is really not worried about money, so she easily said that she would spend 30,000 yuan? After the father and daughter agreed to pay the money together, Lan Shu immediately used Lan Weicheng''s "big brother" to call the garment factory and asked Secretary Tang to transfer the money as quickly as possible. Now there is a delay period for transferring money, and it will usually arrive within two days. But because the garment factory is now an enterprise unit, it is different from the slow transfer of personal accounts, so it can be arrived within a day. In addition, Secretary Tang called the bank specifically to urge the bank, so Lan Shu checked the account the next morning, took out the money, and put it together with Lan Weicheng''s 15,000. After meeting with Lu Wei and Qian Qing in the afternoon to sign the contract, Lan Shu gave them the initial 10,000 yuan. The contract clearly states that the 30,000 yuan will be paid in installments. The first payment is 10,000 yuan. After ten days, as long as the factory building and the recruitment situation meet the agreed conditions, they will pay another 10,000 yuan. When the first batch of Walkmans are manufactured and delivered, they will give them the last 10,000 yuan. . Before Lan Shu came to Kyoto this time, she didn''t think about it. During the few days she stayed in Kyoto, she even invested in a project. For this project, just like what she said to Lan Weicheng, the Walkman will never lose money, and may even make a lot of money in the future! Although the Walkman doesn¡¯t look very eye-catching, it¡¯s just a small thing for listening to tapes, but according to Lan Shu¡¯s memory, the Walkman was popular in the 1980s and 1990s~! In the span of twenty years, how many of them can be sold is simply unimaginable! And the Walkman is different from such bulky items as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. Although some families will buy these home appliances, more families may not be able to use refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions in ten years, let alone now, due to limited conditions. Compared with the Walkman in the hands of young people in the future, the audience of household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, and televisions will still be narrow for at least ten years. That is, in terms of sales volume in the next ten years, Walkmans may not be as profitable as TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines! ¡­ After finishing the Walkman cooperation, it was already Friday when Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County from Kyoto. Before the garment factory was on holiday for the weekend, she went to the factory and confirmed with Secretary Tang about the expansion of the factory. After signing nineteen clothing agency stores in Kyoto a few days ago, Lan Shu has already called to tell Secretary Tang about the situation of each store. These days, the factory has sent cars to deliver the clothes to those stores. Even if the stores are farther away, they should have received the goods by now. The addition of nineteen agency stores has cleared most of the inventory in the garment factory warehouse! Lan Shu knew this would happen a long time ago, so while she informed Secretary Tang of the delivery addresses of those agency stores, she also told Secretary Tang about the need to expand the scale of the factory. Let Secretary Tang pay attention to whether there are other factories near the factory that can be rented or sold directly. Secretary Tang has always been reassuring in his work. After Lan Shu came back, that afternoon, Secretary Tang took her to see the workshop that the machinery factory next door wanted to sell. After all, the Qingyang County Machinery Factory does not have as many talents and strong technology as the Linjiang Machinery Factory. Therefore, the machinery factory that originally covered an area of ??20 to 30 acres has been affected by policies in the past two years. The efficiency of the factory is not as good as before. After discussions, the leaders of the factory made part of the layoffs, so there were vacant workshops. When the machinery factory was sold to the warehouse workshop in Lanshu''s private courtyard, it was already a proof of the reduction in the factory''s profits. Now that the machinery factory has other vacant workshops that need to be sold, Lan Shu followed Secretary Tang to see the situation of the workshops, and then made an agreement with the person in charge of the machinery factory on the spot to purchase the two workshops. The two parties agreed that their clothing factory will prepare cash as soon as possible, and will formally trade and transfer ownership with the machinery factory next Monday. (end of this chapter) Chapter 163: only rent not sell Chapter 163 Only Rent Not Sell Two days later, Lan Shu brought Secretary Tang to the machinery factory. The sale of workshops in the machinery factory this time was still handled by Li Qiang, who had dealt with Lan Shu last time. The two parties signed a contract, and the clothing factory settled the cost of buying the workshop with cash, a total of 3,800 yuan. The workshops I bought this time are much larger than the previous single-yard warehouses. Each workshop has nearly a thousand square meters, so the price is relatively higher. Because the workshop is built in the courtyard of the machinery factory, after closing the account in the afternoon, Lan Shu asked the masons hired by Secretary Tang to act immediately, and opened a door on the wall on the side of the machinery factory for the clothing factory to open. workers coming in and out. In addition to opening the door on the side of the wall, a two-meter-high wall was built inside the machinery factory to separate the two workshops bought by the garment factory from other workshops in the machinery factory. The masons worked very quickly. It took a dozen people two days to finish all the work. Wait for the garment factory to buy a new sewing machine and recruit workers, and the two large workshops will be ready to use soon! While the clothing factory is recruiting in an orderly manner, the situation at the toilet paper factory is also developing quite well. Since the five paper rolling machines started working at the same time and three shifts were working day and night to produce toilet paper rolls, the factory''s warehouse for storing toilet paper rolls has finally gradually filled up. But when the factory delivered the goods to stores selling sanitary napkins and toilet paper rolls everywhere, the warehouse was almost emptied! ¡ª Compared to sanitary napkins, which are specific to women and are used on a monthly basis, roll toilet paper has no time limit and is popular among all people. In the three major cities of Kyoto, Haicheng, and Yuanping, there are more than one hundred stores selling sanitary napkins and roll toilet paper. Combined with the rush of goods in Qingyang County and surrounding cities and counties, the sales of roll toilet paper can be said to have reached an astonishing level! Fortunately, there are now five reel machines producing this kind of toilet paper in the factory, which is able to fill the sales vacancies. But even so, in such a situation, as the sales staff in the factory go to other cities or even cross-provinces to negotiate business, when the factory supplies those new sales points, the inventory of roll paper and toilet paper will definitely be in a hurry! Because of this incident, after asking Lan Shu, the factory director, Deputy Factory Manager Zhu, he had already called the Linjiang Machinery Factory to order five more roll paper toilet paper production machines. The machine order from Qingyang County Machinery Factory made Linjiang City Machinery Factory happy to have an order delivered to the door, and another news came today¡ª¡ª ¡­ Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory, in the factory manager''s office. As soon as Lan Shu came to the factory in the afternoon, she immediately received a report from Secretary Qu. "The Linjiang toilet paper factory wants to sell paper winding machines to other factories, and the machinery factory said that it wants to apply to you." Secretary Qu said, he didn''t understand what application meant? The machinery factory wants to sell the machines manufactured in their factory, so does factory director Lan need to agree? Lan Shu nodded to show that she understood. "I''ll call the city machinery factory back later." As she spoke, she walked to her office and sat down, then asked Secretary Qu if there was anything else she wanted to report. She hasn''t come to the factory for the past few days, and she has solved the problems together. Secretary Qu was asked, he really had something to say. "Factory Manager, last time you mentioned the purchase of cars in the factory, I asked outside. Now the price of a Santana is between 170,000 and 180,000." Secretary Qu only said this, and Lan Shu immediately gave up the idea of ??buying a car! Although their toilet paper factory is really profitable, it even made tens of thousands of profits a year ago. Even after dividends, the factory still has 130,000 yuan in working capital. But after this money, I spent some money to buy sanitary napkin production machines and paper rolling machines. Even if the factory has been shipping goods recently and the funds have been withdrawn, it is not as much as 180,000! Lan Shu originally thought that a small car would only cost tens of thousands of dollars, but now it seems that she is still short-sighted. "Let''s put aside the matter of buying a car for now." Although Lan Shu said so, she felt that with the current development of the factory, she would definitely be able to buy a car within this year. Secretary Qu took down the words of Director Lan, and then said that he had nothing else to report. So Lan Shu was free and called the Municipal Machinery Factory. She had a phone number for the director''s office of Linjiang Machinery Factory, and she dialed the number directly, and was quickly connected. When she asked the city machinery factory to design the winding machine, there was a subsidiary agreement in the contract signed with the machinery factory. The content of the agreement is that the toilet paper factory will pay for the design of this machine. After the machine is manufactured, the invention right of the machine will be in the hands of the toilet paper factory within three years, and the machine factory is not allowed to sell this machine to others at will. So now that the machinery factory wants to sell the roll machine, it really needs her consent. During the phone call, she directly spoke to Director Liao of Linjiang Machinery Factory, "Director Liao, I can agree to the foreign transaction of the winding machine, but I have conditions." "Director Lan, please tell me." When Director Liao heard something about this matter, he let go of his original suspense. Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory is a big customer in their machinery factory, and they don''t want to offend. But if the winding machine can be sold to outsiders, it will be a good thing for their factory to increase revenue. It is really unwilling to let him give up this profit. "The machine can be given away, but not sold, but rented." Lan Shu said. "Rent?" This made Director Liao stunned, "Who are they renting from? Our factory?" Factory Manager Liao thinks that renting the machine is better than selling it. Once the machine is used, it will definitely wear out. After a few years, the machine may break down, so it will be thrown into their hands. However, in the next second, he heard the director of the toilet paper factory, Lan, say, "They want machines, no matter how much they want, they can rent them from me, I will buy these machines, and the machinery factory will come forward to rent them out. The rental fee is 3,000 yuan a year, starting from three years." The selling price of a paper winding machine is 4,800 yuan, but the three-year rent can receive 9,000 yuan! Even if the machine wears out, it won¡¯t break in three years. If you continue to rent it for a few more years, it¡¯s like a toilet paper factory wasting money for nothing! Although Lan Shu¡¯s actions will indeed increase the competitors of toilet paper rolls, even if the Linjiang Machinery Factory does not sell the machines, those factories that need such machines will definitely find other machinery factories to manufacture them. Maybe in a month or two, the machine will be manufactured, and there will still be competitors. So Lan Shu might as well harvest more money from the machine, and let her competitors send her money every year. "Three thousand a year''s rent?" Over the phone, Director Liao really didn''t expect that Director Lan would ask for such a high rent. If it weren''t for the three-year invention rights in the contract signed between the factory and Director Lan, he would also want to rent out the machine! Unfortunately, it will take three years before they can do this in the factory¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 164: Recruiting workers and buying land Chapter 164 Recruiting workers and buying land At the machinery factory, Director Liao had no opinion on the matter of renting the machine. Anyway, the paper roll machines they manufacture will be paid by Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. Just a little more¡ª "Will the other party agree to the rental fee of 3,000 yuan a year?" In Liao''s opinion, the rental fee is a bit high. Lan Shu has nothing to worry about. "Don''t worry, as long as the other party wants to make money, they will rent." She is very sure of this. Even Lan Shu has already guessed that the person who wants to buy the roll machine from Linjiang Machinery Factory is the toilet paper factory in Chiping City? She wanted to know who the future competitors of their toilet paper factory were from there, so she casually asked Director Liao. The final answer I got was that the factory in Chiping City wanted to buy machines! The other party used to follow the trend of their factory to produce sanitary napkins, but now they have put their minds on toilet paper rolls again? In the past, Lan Shu didn''t pay much attention to the other party''s factory, but now, she cares a little bit. In order not to be affected by competitors, the development of our own factory must be accelerated! "Director Liao, in addition to renting paper winding machines, our factory has previously ordered five additional winding machines, and now I need to double it!" "A total of ten paper winding machines will be supplied to our factory first, and then they can be rented to other factories." It will take at least a month to manufacture ten paper winding machines in the machinery factory. With this time, the rolling paper that Yunrou is producing and selling can initially leave a good impression on the public. Later, before the other factory started selling toilet paper rolls, a total of fifteen paper rolling machines in their factory produced toilet paper rolls. The inventory was so large that almost all the toilet paper rolls that could be seen on the market were sold out. It''s Yunrou''s! Occupy the public''s first impression and senses, and let Yunrou Roll Paper seize the opportunity, so as not to be afraid of any competitors'' follow-up behavior. Regarding Director Lan''s words, Director Liao of the machinery factory naturally has no objection. As for the order before and after the customer''s order... Even the paper winding machine rented by the other party was bought by the Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory. When it will be rented out, it is naturally up to the factory director Lan~! ¡­ At this time, when Lan Shu decided to rent out the winding machine in the future, Lu Wei and Qian Qing had already found a factory in Kyoto and hired a few people who were skilled in assembling parts. After Lan Weicheng gave the two of them a mid-term 10,000 yuan according to the agreement, the two immediately used the money to find channels to buy spare parts and chips, and to find a plastic factory to order the casing of the Walkman. As for the circuit board, it is made by two people. If this continues, they will be able to produce a batch of Walkmans in less than two weeks. At the same time, Xiaobai also contacted the ''second generation'' in the circle who studied electronic information technology. It was learned that the other party refused to obey the control of the family and only wanted to do electronic information direction, but the family stopped all sources of income. Xue Chuang, who was looking for investment, met the rich Xiaobai. So the two hit it off, one research, one investment, the giant of the future electronic information industry, and thus successfully combined¡ª ¡­ A week later, the newly recruited employees of Yunshu Garment Factory officially entered the large workshop to work. This time, the factory has recruited more than 70 workers who work on sewing machines. In addition to the applicants from Qingyang County, there are more than 20 new employees from other counties. As the reputation of Yunshu Garment Factory spread, some experienced sewing machine workers from several surrounding counties immediately came to sign up when they heard the news of the recruitment. This is only the first batch of foreign workers recruited by the factory, and there will be more in the future. In order to accommodate the workers from other places, Lan Shu even asked Secretary Tang to rent a house near the factory, and put up bunk beds temporarily for them to live in. Later, she even thought about whether to build another staff dormitory? With the expansion of the scale of the factory, there will definitely be a need for staff dormitories in the future. After thinking about it for a day, Lan Shu decided to spend 20,000 yuan. In addition to buying land to build a row of three-storey staff dormitories that can accommodate a hundred people, the factory also needs a canteen¡ª The garment factory now has more than 170 workers. Although most of them are local workers, not all of them live close to the factory. Lan Shu saw more than once that some employees brought meals in the morning, soaked them in hot water at noon, and ate them. It is really inconvenient to not have a cafeteria, so since she is going to do it this time, she will do it in one step. Lan Shu believes that her garment factory will definitely become an important enterprise in Qingyang County, Linjiang City, and even the provincial level. In the future, there will only be more and more workers in the factory, so she has already thought about the specifications of the canteen, and she must open a big canteen! ¡­ In the next few days, Lan Shu went to several departments of the county government before buying a piece of wasteland about seven or eight hundred meters away from the garment factory. In the nearby industrial area, except for the factory, there is a lot of open space. Lan Shu never thought of buying land to build a house by herself before, so she first chose to buy workshops in other factories. But now, the factory needs more space for future development and expansion, so Lan Shu directly bought seven or eight acres of land! These lands are definitely enough to build staff dormitories and canteens. She also plans to build a few warehouses for storing clothes in the extra space. In this way, together with the two new large workshops bought by the County Machinery Factory, at least in the short term, their garment factory no longer has to worry about the lack of factory buildings. The construction period of the staff dormitory and the canteen is estimated to be more than three months. Lan Shu also specially asked the masons who came to work to build a big bathhouse separated from men and women in a place a little farther from the staff dormitory. In this way, not only can the workers in the factory solve their own bathing problems, but the bathhouse can also be opened to the ticket sales of several other factories around, which can increase an income. ¡­ The next day was the weekend, Lan Shu got up early in the morning and began to pack things in the room. When she packed the quilt and clothes, the sound of the tractor outside just came in. Lan Shu already called her elder brother yesterday and told her about moving. A few days ago, the house she bought near the garment factory had been simply decorated. In the five rooms, the walls have been repainted, and some log tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes, and beds have also been bought and placed in them. Before moving, Lan Shu also opened the door and windows to let the wind in the room for a few days. Taking advantage of the fact that she is not busy these two days, she plans to move here from the rented house. Although she only lived in a rented house for a few months, there are quite a lot of quilts, clothes, daily necessities and so on. If you want to move, you must have transportation. So, she thought of her elder brother''s tractor, which could help her move all the things there at once. (end of this chapter) Chapter 165: The continuation of the dream Chapter 165 Continuation of Dreamland Lan Dazhuang drove his tractor to the county seat just after dawn in the morning. Seeing that the little girl was almost packed, he immediately helped the little girl move the things to the back of the tractor, and then drove the little girl to the direction of the new home. When we got to the place, it was Lan Dazhuang who carried the bags into the house. With her eldest brother around, Lan Shu basically didn''t have to spend much effort. She just made the bed and put on a brand new four-piece suit. Lan Dazhuang had already done all the rest of the work! Clothes are put in the closet, pots and pans are put in the kitchen, and the stove is wiped clean. With her eldest brother around, Lan Shu really has peace of mind. After finishing the work, Lan Shu originally planned to cook by herself at noon to cook some delicious food for her elder brother. But who knows that Lan Dazhuang already has an appointment. Now Lan Dazhuang is a man with a partner, he came to the county seat, and after helping the little girl with his errands, of course he wants to meet his partner~! Thus, comparing the little girl''s craftsmanship with the subject, Lan Dazhuang decisively chose to stay with the subject. At noon, although Lan Dazhuang was not there, there were still many people around Lan Shu celebrating her moving. Knowing that Lan Shu is moving house today, Zhang Yunjing specially rushed over from the city to help her celebrate. Deputy factory director Zhu also came here, bringing some meat dishes packed from the restaurant, thinking that it would be inconvenient for her to start a fire just after moving today, so she brought them over directly. Secretary Qu also came, bringing his girlfriend along. It was also at this time that Lan Shu found out that Secretary Qu''s girlfriend was from Linjiang City. She and Secretary Qu had known each other in college and had always had a good relationship. They often came over to meet her boyfriend on weekends. Besides, Xie Xiaoju and Liu Axing also came to the clothing factory, but they didn''t stay here for dinner, they just gave Lilly. Xie Xiaoju brought a basket of vegetables picked in her own yard, and Liu Axing brought a basket of walnuts grown on trees in her own yard. Although Secretary Tang didn''t come, she asked Liu Axing to bring her a basket of oranges. Oranges are a rare commodity in the county these days, and one can tell that Secretary Tang spent a lot of money to buy them. With so many people coming and caring, the yard was bustling with activity on the day Lan Shu moved. ¡­ The other side, Kyoto. Lan Weicheng''s cosmetics counter opened for business today. According to what his daughter said, when he was hiring staff, he found the most outstanding-looking one as a teller. In addition to appearance, of course there are also requirements for the professionalism of selling goods. After the new employees got a set of cosmetics as promised on the first day of work, their enthusiasm for this job suddenly rose¡ª As for Lan Xinya, she has worked in the factory for half a month and has gradually gotten used to the intensity of the work. It''s just blindly working, and it can''t meet her original psychological expectations. She came to work not just to get paid for her work, but to show her attitude to others. Especially Gu Cheng, she wants to let Gu Cheng know that she is living a good life now, and she is also very good. But she is a small employee in the factory, and it is really difficult for Gu Cheng, a well-known electrical tycoon in the business district of Kyoto, to notice her... Lan Xinya thought of a way and decided to follow her dad to see the next business gathering, maybe she could meet Gu Cheng. Compared to Lan Xinya''s invisibility, Gu Cheng''s career development is smooth sailing. He went to Haicheng for inspection a few years ago, and not long after the Chinese New Year, he had already opened two electrical stores in Haicheng. The shop in Haicheng is the same as the one in Kyoto, and the business is very good. It was also because others were in Haicheng some time ago that they didn''t know that Lan Shu went to Kyoto and stayed in Kyoto for a few days. By the time he came back, Lan Shu had already left. Knowing the news, Gu Cheng was a little bit sorry that he and Lan Shu happened to be separated in time. But it doesn¡¯t matter, now he will develop his career well, and when he opens the electrical store to Qingyang County, they will have a lot of opportunities to meet¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, Kyoto University School of Medicine. Xiaobai skipped a level again as expected. In the third grade, the knowledge he has learned is more professional. At this time, he really came into contact with the level of pharmacology. Especially recently, he is following a professor in the college to research a new drug for emergency treatment of the heart, so he is extremely busy. During the day, he was highly concentrated and exhausted. At night, his sleep was extremely heavy. So at this time, he hadn''t dreamed of the situation where he had remembered the picture for a while, and it started to continue again. In the dream, since he was thirteen years old, he spent most of his time living in the army with his grandfather. In addition to exercising on weekdays, he did not delay in studying. He is a teenager and a half-old child, learning knowledge from a group of students who are much older than him in the military academy. At the beginning, he couldn''t keep up with his studies, but after his grandfather hired a teacher for him, and he had to tutor him after school every day, he soon caught up with the progress. During the three years when he was fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, his life was miserable. His life was almost filled with exercise and study, so he could go home and rest during the winter and summer vacations. Although his parents love him dearly, his father thinks that children can grow up to be successful only if they are strictly controlled from an early age. At the beginning, he restrained himself like this, and in his career, he came to Kyoto step by step from the small county. And his mother has high hopes for him, and thinks that there is nothing wrong with the child learning more. So at home, he didn''t interact much with his parents, but his half-brother Gu Cheng would come to him to chat, talk heart-to-heart, and even offer guiding suggestions on some things. Dreams for several nights in a row. Last night, the picture that appeared in Xiaobai''s dream was Gu Cheng telling him that studying is of no use, only doing business has a future. This is what Gu Cheng said a year ago when he was sixteen years old. At that time, he was also confused, and he was not clear about his future goals, so he remembered Gu Cheng''s words so clearly. Everything in the dream is very clear, Xiaobai can even clearly ''see'' every expression on Gu Cheng''s face when he said these words to him in the dream. The bewitching tone, the flash of jealousy in his eyes, and the suppressed anger on his face when he saw that he didn''t respond much after telling himself these words... If everything in the dream is true, then Xiaobai can be sure that the words that his half-brother said to him are definitely not encouragement and kind guidance, but malicious intentions! But Xiaobai couldn''t figure it out, why would Gu Cheng do this? Is there anything wrong with him? In all his dream ''memories'', he didn''t have many interactions with Gu Cheng when he was a child, and most of the communication after he grew up was Gu Cheng who took the initiative to talk to him. So what is the conflict between them? Xiaobai himself doesn''t even know. (end of this chapter) Chapter 166: different self Chapter 166 A Different Self During the day, Xiaobai even forgot to eat lunch after a busy day in the laboratory. Going back to school at night, Xiaobai hurriedly washed up in the single dormitory arranged for him after he skipped a grade, and then fell asleep¡ª Darkness envelops, the mist gradually dissipates... Today''s dream seems to be different from before. In the dream, he clearly saw that when he returned to Kyoto from Qingyang County after visiting his grandma, he did not get on the train, but was hit on the head with a sap from behind by five or six hooligans ! ¡ª When he was knocked, even in a dream, he seemed to feel the pain, followed by dizziness, even though he tried his best to hold on, he finally fell down. Afterwards, he was thrown into the river, but he survived the catastrophe, floating along the water for an unknown how long. When he finally woke up, he was lying on the bank, not remembering who he was. Next, he was not picked up by Brother Da Zhuang, he did not meet Lan Shu, he did not live in Lan''s house, nor did he live in the county town, sell clothes, or go to a toilet paper factory. He did not appear in Qingyang County, but lived a wandering life in another county not far from Qingyang County. At the beginning, he had no memory, no food and clothing, and lived in a bridge hole. During the day, he went around asking people if they knew who he was. At night, he spent the night in unbearable hunger. Within a few days, he became dirty and unkempt. After that, he probably drank unclean water by the river. He fell ill and almost died! Fortunately, he is in good physical condition, and survived the illness¡ª Later, he no longer looked for who he was, but found a job of moving and unloading goods. The days at that time were very bitter. When it was hot, I was sweating profusely, and my shoulders were worn out. When it was cold, my fingers, face, and feet were itchy, cracked, and finally ulcerated... Xiaobai didn''t know how he survived it. It seemed that he had survived for more than a year with a belief in finding his former self. A year later, during unloading, he was hit by a sack that fell from a truck and fell into a coma. When he woke up, there were a few more memory fragments in his mind, which made him vaguely remember that he came from a big city. So he quit his job and went to Yuanping, Haicheng, and finally Kyoto. He will stay in each place for about a year. While doing odd jobs, he was looking for his own life experience. Finally when he was twenty-one years old, his memory suddenly came back! He knows his identity, finds his parents, returns home¡ª ¡­ When he woke up, Xiao Bai was covered in cold sweat, and his limbs were as heavy as lead. His mind was a little dizzy, and he didn''t even know whether he was in a dream or reality? He didn''t know why he had such a dream. Everything in the dream, even though he has woken up, he still seems to feel his inner torment and helplessness in the dream... He couldn''t imagine that he would end up like that if he didn''t meet the Lan family and Lan Shu? He doesn''t know what everything in the dream is? Is that really my own experience? No exams, no school, no everything now! Xiaobai doesn''t understand why the self in the dream is completely different from the present self? He was heavy-headed, and forced himself to get up and wash his face. Because there was still medicine experiment study in the morning, he didn''t delay any longer. He didn''t even eat breakfast, so he went directly to the laboratory. The whole morning passed, and his mind was always occupied by that dream, so that he couldn''t concentrate on doing the experiment at all. Finally, the instructor discovered this and asked him to go back to rest in the afternoon and come back to class tomorrow. At noon, Xiao Bai was not in the mood to eat at all. Although he already felt a little hungry in his stomach, this kind of hunger and the extreme hunger he experienced in his dream without eating a grain of rice for a few days were not worth mentioning at all! He went back to the dormitory, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes. The dream begins again... In the dream, Xiaobai found that he looked older than he is now. At least in the dream, I dress much more maturely than now. He was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, just like his dad dressed at work. Such a self makes Xiaobai feel very strange¡ª¡ª He found that the time period in the dream seemed to be not long after he found his parents and returned home. At that time, after experiencing poverty for several years, he was really poor! So just like what Gu Cheng guided him at the beginning, he began to step into the business circle and choose to do business. He followed Gu Cheng''s lead and started a home appliance company with confidence, but it didn''t take long for him to find it difficult to do business. Because the home appliance stores with the best business in several big cities in China are all run by Gu Cheng, even if other people open similar stores, their business will not be better than those under Gu Cheng. In desperation, he opened a home appliance store in the city or even the county, but for some reason, the sales have never been able to increase. In the home appliance business, he lost a lot of money. Later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly became hostile to Gu Cheng! In those few years, no matter what business Gu Cheng did, he followed suit. He started a company, selling watches, stereos, and pagers... He seems to be bent on snatching Gu Cheng''s business, trying to defeat Gu Cheng...? Yes, that is to defeat! Xiaobai can feel that in his dream, he has hatred in his heart. That kind of inexplicable hatred made him wonder what caused it. In the dream, due to hatred, he even became a little crazy, but he didn''t beat Gu Cheng in business. All the money in his hand was lost because of business. Even the money his parents loved him, the money they gave him as a subsidy, and the money left by his grandparents, were all lost by him! ¡­ Xiao Bai suddenly woke up from his dream! ¡ª He stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he experienced in his dream! Even though he dreamed about many things, he still didn''t know why he hated Gu Cheng? What did Gu Cheng do that made him hate? Why did the self in the dream fight against Gu Cheng? All of this, because of the incoherence between the dreams, Xiaobai didn''t know. But if those things in the dream would really happen and happen in another way, then he believed that there must be a reason for his hatred of Gu Cheng! When the train of thought came to this point, Xiaobai was surprised to find that he subconsciously believed that everything in the dream had happened in reality! Xiao Bai took a deep breath, gradually calming down his state of mind. After that, he carefully recalled everything and even various details in the dream. He remembered that in his dream, in his business, there was a... pager. Yes, it is a pager! A small communication device that can remind others that they have called themselves and display the phone number¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 167: miss you Chapter 167 Miss you Compared with today''s ''big phones'', things like pagers are very simple and cannot make calls, but they are very cheap. It is easy to use and carry with you, and you can also know who wants to contact you. So after the pager appeared, it was very popular. When most people do not have the financial ability to buy a ''big phone'', pagers have become a must-have communication device for everyone. Although it was only something that appeared in a dream, the existence of the pager made Xiao Bai feel very real. He had a hunch that even if the pager doesn''t exist now, it will definitely appear in the future! If dreams are not real, how can there be things that exist in the future? So Xiaobai has a bold guess¡ª He got up from the bed, walked out of the dormitory, and went to the school phone booth. He took out the phone card from his pocket, inserted the card, and made a call to Xue Chuang, the person in charge of the electronic information direction he invested in not long ago¡ª ¡­ After more than 20 minutes, Xiaobai pressed the phone, and Xiaobai couldn''t calm down... Just now, he asked Xue Chuang on the phone about Xue Chuang''s research and development direction in the field of electronic information in the next few years. There is a pager project among them! ¡ª According to Xue Chuang, his pager project was originally just a prototype idea, but with the financial support of Xiaobai during this period, he will be able to successfully develop the product in half a year at most! For Xue Chuang, this is something to be happy about. But to Xiaobai, it seems to have verified something¡ª Those things that happened in the dream... really ever happened? Happened to me, but not my current self. Xiao Bai suddenly felt that he was a little confused by the dream. what on earth is it? The present self is the self, and the self in the dream is also the self. The same self, but it seems to exist in two different time and space... correct! It is the feeling of two time and space! My self in the first sixteen years had the same life trajectory in both worlds. But on the day he left Qingyang County, his life seemed to branch in two different directions¡ª A self is the self who has never met the Lan family or Lan Shu. That him, life is hard, and in the end what he did was wrong, step by step! The other self is the current self. Fortunately, he was picked up by the Lan family and also met Lan Shu. It is Lan Shu''s silent care, correct guidance, and kindness to herself, so that she can recognize her heart clearly and make the current choice. Let yourself do what you should do at the age you should be. Instead of being like another self, who was devastated by life and tortured by reality! Xiaobai has seriously thought about his older self, which is not what he wants to live. He is glad that he has a new choice in his life, so that he can change his future destiny! After thinking about this clearly, Xiaobai took a long breath of relief... At this moment, the entanglement, struggle, and depression deep in my heart seem to be spit out of my body with this breath¡ª Now that he has changed and has a different life, he will cherish everything he has now. He will work harder to focus on the field he likes and chooses, so as not to let down his life that seems to be starting all over again now! At this moment, Xiao Bai suddenly wanted to have a word with Lan Shu. The kind that can say anything... So he took a deep breath, reinserted the phone card, and called the toilet paper factory. ''Drip-drip-drip-'' The long waiting sound should have calmed people down, but when it was heard in Xiaobai''s ears, it made him more nervous and anxious! Fortunately, after a few rings, the phone was picked up¡ª "Hello? Who are you looking for?" Secretary Qu''s voice sounded. "I''m looking for, Lan... sister." When Xiaobai said this, he didn''t even realize that his voice was already so hoarse. Even Secretary Qu could tell that something might have happened, which made the young man who had a good relationship with their factory manager Lan feel bad. By the way, the boy is still the major shareholder in their factory! So major shareholders must not lose their minds. So Secretary Qu immediately replied, "Please wait a moment, I will hand over the phone to Director Lan now." Just this one sentence made Xiao Bai on the phone instantly calm down! He had always felt that the presence of Lan Shu seemed to give him a sense of peace and stability. Now, Xiaobai finally knows why! Because without Lan Shu, my life would be dilapidated¡ª It is her existence that gives me a new life and a good change! While Xiao Bai was almost holding his breath, waiting for Lan Shu to answer the phone. Toilet paper factory. Lan Shu has not been in the factory for the past two days. She came this afternoon just to see if there is anything she needs to deal with in the factory. She went around the workshop, went back to the office to get her things, and was about to go home from get off work when she happened to catch up with Xiaobai and call her! When Secretary Qu said that the call was from the major shareholder, Lan Shu immediately took the phone from Qu Zhou and put it to her ear. "Xiaobai?" She called out the name she had chosen for him. "Are there no classes this afternoon?" she asked. "Sister Lan." Xiao Bai yelled over the phone. Although his tone sounded normal at first glance, Lan Shu still felt a little bit of unnaturalness of holding on to his emotions. "What''s wrong? Did something happen?" She frowned slightly, a little worried about Xiaobai who was in Kyoto at the moment. "¡­fine." After a moment of silence, Xiaobai replied. "Suddenly miss you, just make a call." He said. I don''t know if it''s Lanshu''s illusion, but she seems to really feel Xiaobai''s turbulent longing in Xiaobai''s "missing you". "We''ve only met for less than a month?" Lan Shu said with a relaxed tone and a smile. She didn''t know what happened to Xiaobai, but since Xiaobai didn''t want to talk about it, she believed that Xiaobai could handle these things alone! What she has to do now is to let Xiao Bai relax. At least on the phone with her, you can relax and be more casual. Xiaobai didn''t answer Lan Shu''s words. And Lan Shu continued, "I will probably go to Kyoto next month, and then I will go to your school to find you, and take a look at how spectacular the Peking University School of Medicine is." The tone is still relaxed, and Xiaobai''s depressed mood seems to be comforted in an instant¡ª Knowing that he might see Lan Shu again soon, a smile appeared on Xiao Bai''s face unconsciously. "Okay, then I''ll wait for you." He said, "I will definitely show you around our school then." All the gloom in Xiaobai''s heart dissipated, and he became happy. "Okay, then it''s settled." Lan Shu agreed. Actually, she has no plan to go to Kyoto next month at all. But because Xiaobai wants to see her so much, she can''t let the child down, can she? Then go there, just in time to see the production progress of the Walkman. Today''s 20,000-character burst update is complete! Little cuties, remember to vote after watching~ (`) compare heart (end of this chapter) Chapter 168: Depreciation recovery Chapter 168 Depreciation Recovery The call from Xiaobai did not last long. It wasn''t because the phone bill was too expensive, but because he checked the time and knew that it was almost time for Lan Shu to go back from the factory. Now, his complex mood has eased, and with the "experience" of "once" being hungry and full, he knows that feeling is bad. Xiaobai hoped that Lan Shu could eat on time, so he took the initiative to say goodbye to Lan Shu and asked her to go back early and eat better. The life of another self in the next few years, through dreams, seems to have affected Xiaobai today, making him cherish the present day especially. Although until now he still doesn''t understand the reason for his hatred towards Gu Cheng in the dream. But he stopped thinking about it, and he stopped bothering himself. Xiao Bai had a premonition that sooner or later he would know the reason. Since the dream hasn''t ''tell'' him yet, then he just needs to wait quietly. That night, Xiaobai stopped dreaming and slept until dawn... ¡­ Three days later, the transport vehicle of Linjiang Machinery Factory delivered the first four roll paper machines produced to Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory in Qingyang County. After another ten days, another three reels were also delivered. At the toilet paper factory, twelve paper rolling machines operate together, producing a considerable amount of toilet paper rolls every day. On this day, Lan Shu came to the factory in the morning. As soon as she walked into the office, she heard Secretary Qu say, "Director Lan, Mr. Mark called and said he wanted to see you." Lan Shu walked over, answered the phone, and then heard Mark''s tired voice coming from the receiver. "Lan Shu, my friend, good evening~ Oh, no, it should be daytime at your place." When Mark spoke, his tone was sleepy, obviously he was already very late there. Being able to get him to call at night must be something important. Sure enough, Lan Shu soon heard Mark say, "The factory that ordered your patented model accessories from our machine factory last time, the things they ordered have been sent from me today, and it is estimated that they will arrive in your country in four days. .¡± Mark and Lanshu are friends, so he will pay special attention to the competitors of Lanshu Factory. When he had news, he called Lan Shu. "In addition to that factory, there are two other similar factories in your country who have also placed orders for sanitary napkin production machines from our machine factory. In the near future, our factory will send the machines over there." Mark said again . After hearing these two news, Lan Shu knew that the domestic sanitary napkins would no longer be basically monopolized by their Yunrou brand in the future! Now there are new toilet paper factories that want to transform into sanitary napkins, so in the future, there will only be more factories that want to transform! So for the publicity and fame of sanitary napkins, Lan Shu must prepare for this! "Mark, thank you for telling me this." Lan Shu said to the phone. It is precisely because of the latest news that she can respond in time and prepare in advance. "Don''t be polite to me, we are friends, aren''t we?" Mark replied. Then he added, "By the way, Lan Shu, those two manufacturers who ordered sanitary napkin production machines from our machine factory wanted the most basic and common machines." "Is it the type of the five machines we ordered at the beginning?" Lan Shu asked. "Yeah, that''s the one," Mark replied. "There is one more thing to tell you. The five old machines that your factory initially ordered can be depreciated and recycled. If you need it, you can contact me." After listening to what Mark said, Lan Shu really had such thoughts. "How much is the recycling price of the old machine?" She asked casually. "Twelve thousand." Mark replied. At the beginning, the five old sanitary napkin production machines were bought for 16,000 units. From the time of purchase to the present, the earliest one took less than half a year. There are two more that have not been in the factory for three months, and one will directly lose 4,000! Lan Shu knows that after the machine factory where the old machine Mark is located is recycled, it can still be sold back to the original price with a little maintenance. Even if the price is reduced, it will not drop much. And now it is obvious that there are toilet paper factories in China that need to buy machines, so foreign machine factories can make thousands of dollars by changing hands, and five machines cost 20,000 yuan, so they are naturally willing to recycle them. If you were someone else, you might not think about losing money, depreciation and recovery, but Lan Shu replied after thinking for a while¡ª "Mark, please convey to me that at the price of 14,000 units, I will sell all five machines at depreciation to your machine factory, and buy five new machines from your company." Hearing Lan Shu''s reply, Mark was a little embarrassed. He felt that the boss of their machine factory might not agree. But he is still willing to convey to his friends. "Okay, I will report this matter tomorrow." After the communication between the two parties was over, Mark hung up the phone. It''s late on his side, he should have left work long ago. ¡­ Lan Shu''s side is still daytime. When she told Mark that she wanted to depreciate the old sanitary napkin production machine and replace it with a new one, she did not consider the immediate loss of money, but clearly knew the principle of survival of the fittest. The five old machines seem to be no problem in producing sanitary napkins now, but in fact, these machines have been eliminated by foreign factories. Even foreign machine factories no longer produce this kind of machine, otherwise Mark would not have proposed depreciation and recycling. Such machines will be eliminated sooner or later, and after a few more years of use, there will be no such thing as depreciation and recycling at that time, and they can only be sold as scrap iron. Taking advantage of the fact that the depreciation can still offset the money, if you replace it with a new machine, the service life will be extended a lot. Maybe in a few years, when the domestic toilet paper factories need new machines, the machines in her factory can be depreciated again and replaced with more advanced models from abroad. Of course, these are just Lan Shu''s best ideas. Now, the new machine is 23,000, and if the old machine can be depreciated by 14,000, then it only costs another 45,000, and all the five old sanitary napkin production machines in the factory can be replaced with new ones! The new machine is nearly twice the production speed, which can greatly increase the production quantity of products in the factory. At that time, ten new machines in their factory will be equivalent to the production speed of twenty old machines in other factories. Calculated in this way, no matter how you look at it, it is profitable! On the same day, Lan Shu talked about the depreciation of the machine with Zhu, the deputy director of the factory. After some discussions, the two quickly reached a consensus. Before Mark hadn¡¯t responded to the message, the accountant of the Yunrou toilet paper factory in Qingyang County had already settled the current bills of the factory according to the requirements of the two factory directors. (end of this chapter) Chapter 169: Different strengths, different treatment Chapter 169 Different strengths, different treatment Before getting off work that day, Lan Shu and Deputy Factory Manager Zhu got an accurate figure from the finance department¡ª¡ª Their factory now has more than 80,000 funds, and 60,000 to 70,000 are scattered in nearly 200 cooperative stores, which will be recovered before the middle of next month. Now that their factory has sufficient funds, the plan to replace old machines with new ones can be carried out! So I just wait for the reply from the foreign machine factory. The next morning, Lan Shu came to the factory and sat in the office waiting for Mark''s call. Based on time, Mark should have reported the matter to his boss. No surprises, there is already an answer at this moment, she just waits for the phone call. Sure enough, it didn''t take long. At around nine o''clock, Lan Shu received a call from Mark from abroad. At this time, it was night again on his side. It allows Mark to worry about his own factory affairs after work. Lan Shu is very grateful to Mark as a friend. "My friend Lan Shu, our boss said that depreciation of 14,000 yuan is not acceptable. The boss asked me to negotiate a price of 13,000 yuan with your factory, but the bottom line he gave me was 13,500 yuan." Good guy! Directly revealed the hole cards! Mark was so generous, Lan Shu was a little moved. "Then let it be 13,500. When the new machine arrives, I will make a big show for you!" Lan Shu has decided that when the time comes, she must either go to the best restaurant in Qingyang County, or cook herself! Mark was not so sleepy when he heard that there was something delicious. "Okay, then I will send you the new machine as soon as possible." The two parties have negotiated the details of the transfer, and the toilet paper factory must first deposit a deposit of 10,000 yuan on the account of the machine factory where Mark works. After that, the new machine will be sent over there, and the old machine will be taken away at the same time. The final payment can be settled before Mark leaves. Because they are friends, Mark also revealed some news to Lan Shu. The old machines did not need to be transported back to the factory by Mark. They were directly maintained and then shipped to two other cities in China, where the two factories that ordered sanitary napkin production machines went. After hearing what Mark said about the process, Lan Shu had to say that Mark''s boss is really smart! The so-called depreciation recovery is actually resold directly! While the machine was sold, it also earned 12,500 yuan in depreciation¡ª You deserve to be the boss! Regardless of whether domestic or foreign, if you have no idea of ??making money, you will not be able to sit firmly as the boss. After finishing the call, Lan Shu immediately asked the accountant to transfer the 10,000 deposit. Just wait ten days later for Mark to come to China with the new machine. Last time when their factory ordered new machines, foreign machine factories still needed time to manufacture machines. And this time, for the ready-made machine, the deposit will be transferred here, and the delivery will be arranged there. ¡­ On this day, besides the good news that Lan Shu got the depreciation of the old machine and replaced it with a new one, the two toilet paper factories in Jinyang City and Huangwu City who were about to transform also received exact replies from foreign machine factories¡ª The sanitary napkin production machines ordered from foreign machine factories in their factory will be delivered in about half a month. Jinyang City and Huangwu City Toilet Paper Factory each ordered two machines. There was the last depreciation machine left, and Mark called the factory manager in Chiping City. Meng Zhuo was a little surprised when he received a call from a foreign machine factory. He is also planning to find time to make a phone call recently to mention the purchase of additional sanitary napkin production machines. Meng Zhuo felt that he had a tacit understanding with the person in charge of the foreign machine factory? Otherwise, why would he hear the other party asking him if he needs a sanitary napkin production machine as soon as he answers the phone? Of course he needs it! In the past two months, the sanitary napkins produced by the two machines in his factory have begun to be sold, and the sales in the city and surrounding counties are good. After making some money, Meng Zhuo planned to order another machine in one go! Wait for the three machines to start production together. When there are more products, they can be sold to increase profits. He didn''t call before because he was raising money. Since the transformation of the factory, the two machines have made money producing sanitary napkins, but the money they earned has not reached the point where they can buy another machine. As soon as he raised money, he received a call from a foreign machine factory asking about his intentions, so Meng Zhuo immediately replied, "Our factory wants to order another one!" "Okay, it''s the same as before. You first transfer the funds for the purchase of the machine to our factory''s account, and the machine will be delivered in about two weeks." Mark said. He talked to other toilet paper factory directors in a regular tone, and there was no friendship at all. That attitude is completely different from the tone of talking to Lan Shu! Besides Lan Shu¡¯s factory, where the boss agreed to pay a deposit first, and then pay the final payment after delivery, the other toilet paper factories will only deliver goods after the full payment has been received in their factory¡¯s account. This is the same factory, but because of their different strengths, they are treated differently. With the development status of Lanshu factory, Mark really doesn''t like these small factories that follow suit. He even felt a little disdainful in his heart. In the factory opened by his friend Lan Shu, there will be ten new sanitary napkin production machines soon. And in these small factories that followed suit, there were only two or three obsolete products, and they were all very happy. It¡¯s like two people, one person eats a top-notch steak and thinks it¡¯s normal, while the other person eats a little cheap green vegetables, and both feel that they have eaten delicious food. With such a comparison, Mark was immediately proud that Lan Shu was his friend! On this day, several toilet paper factories in China transferred money to the account of Mark''s machine factory. The manufacturer with the least transfer amount is the factory that will receive the best machine in the near future¡ª ¡­ The end of March, into April, the weather has turned warm. These days, the goods that Yunshu Garment Factory sends out are already single clothes. And the summer clothes in the factory are also under production. By next month, the temperature in some southern cities will rise rapidly, and it is only normal now to pass the summer ahead of time. Therefore, the clothes in the factory that correspond to the changing seasons must be prepared in advance and delivered to the stores in those southern cities at any time. During this period, more than a dozen salesmen in the factory have targeted some cities in the south, and have successfully developed forty or fifty agency stores for the factory. Yu Yuan, the regional manager of their factory, is focusing on the expansion of agency stores in the area of ??Jingdu Wei. In addition to the 19 agency stores negotiated last month, in the past two or three weeks, he has negotiated another 11 clothing agency stores. Yu Yuan, the regional manager, has gradually begun to have the ability of a real regional manager... In the first week of April, Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory received the last three rolling machines from Linjiang Machinery Factory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 170: no flaws allowed Chapter 170 does not tolerate any flaws This time, the person responsible for transporting the winding machine at the Linjiang Machinery Factory is He Sunan. Based on He Sunan''s solid professional foundation, work ability, and the degree of attention he received in Linjiang Machinery Factory, he didn''t need to do such a small task of escorting the car to deliver the goods. But this time he took the initiative to apply to the factory. He came here not only for the roll feeding machine, but also to report to Lan Shu about the completion of the assembly line machine ordered by the toilet paper factory. Knowing that the completion of the assembly line of the small bag paper machine has reached more than 80%, Lan Shu expressed that she is looking forward to the day when the machine is completed. After the goods were delivered, there were a total of fifteen toilet paper production machines in the workshop, arranged by Lan Shu to divide them into two large workshops, working non-stop. Looking at the busy workers in the workshop, listening to the ''bang~! bang~! ¡¯ Voice, Lan Shu is very pleased with the current development of the factory. After adding more than a dozen roll toilet paper machines in their toilet paper factory, they recruited workers again after the year, and the number of workers in the entire toilet paper factory has exceeded 350! It was originally a small factory with the size of a workshop, but now it is almost the size of a medium-sized factory. The development of Yunrou toilet paper factory into a large factory has long been in Lanshu''s plan. In the next three years, it will be achieved! ¡­ Enter the second week of April. On Wednesday, Mark came to the factory with five new sanitary napkin production machines. The foreign workers who came to deliver the goods with Mark spent a day assembling the new machine. With previous experience, all five new machines were assembled by 8 o''clock in the evening! Assembling the machine this time, two technicians from the factory also came to help for a day. Watching the process of machine assembly with their own eyes gave them a better understanding of the structure of the new machine. He Yi from the machinery factory next door was unable to attend due to business. On the second day, Mark took two technicians in the factory to learn machine maintenance to maintain the five old machines that were eliminated. Once they learn how to maintain the old machine, they will learn how to maintain the new machine sooner. During this process, He Yi still didn''t come. It wasn''t until two days later that Mark left the Yunrou toilet paper factory with five well-maintained old sanitary napkin production machines that Lan Shu learned from Secretary Qu that when the machinery factory next door laid off employees not long ago, He Yi His brother-in-law was laid off! He Yi is just an elder sister, and grew up dependent on each other since childhood. He and his sister have a deep relationship. Now that her brother-in-law has lost his job, it means a major change in her sister''s family! So He Yi took a few days off from the machinery factory, accompanied his sister back to the countryside, and helped his sister''s family resettle in the village. Lan Shu still remembers the sister-in-law He next door when she lived in the staff dormitory of the machinery factory. At the beginning, it was also because of Sister He''s help that she sold second-hand clothes so smoothly. It can be said that Mrs. He helped her with the first pot of gold she earned. So she asked Secretary Qu to find time to contact He Yi. If He Yi''s sister and brother-in-law were willing to return to the county, the toilet paper factory would give them a job opportunity. After explaining the things in the factory, Lan Shu went to the garment factory again. She plans to finish handling the affairs of the factories on both sides in the next two days, and then she is ready to leave for Kyoto. Before she promised Xiaobai that she would go to Kyoto to meet him this month. In addition, the Walkman processing factory that she and Lan Weicheng invested in together, counting the time, should have made progress. ¡­ At this time Kyoto. In the temporary small processing factory in the western suburbs, Lu Wei and Qian Qing are doing the final inspection of the first batch of 50 Walkmans assembled. After confirming that there is no problem with these Walkmans, they can be sent to the second floor of Huaxia Shopping Center, where Lan Weicheng''s counter will start selling. After a day''s inspection, only three of the fifty Walkmans had minor problems with the installation of internal parts. After the faulty Walkmans were returned and reassembled, the remaining forty-seven Walkmans were put together in a big box and will be sent to Lan Weicheng tomorrow. ¡­ At the same time, Peking University School of Medicine. In the laboratory. Professor Zhang, the tutor who brought Xiaobai into the project study, applied a certain amount of the new drug to the experimental mice today, and found no rejection. According to the physical signs of the mice after taking the medicine, the medicine had a certain effect, but it failed to meet Professor Zhang''s expectations. Professor Zhang sighed, shook his head regretfully, and said softly, "It failed." For him, anything less than perfect is a failure! There is no room for any flaws in medicine. Otherwise it is irresponsible to those patients who will use drugs in the future! Xiaobai learned a lot from Professor Zhang during this period, which also gave him a greater sense of responsibility and mission for drug research and development. He silently reviewed the process of drug research in the laboratory these days, and made a new research plan. He knew that their current research was very close to success. He believes in the strength of the tutor, and he will be able to complete the research! And he also absorbs learning experience in this research process, allowing himself to grow rapidly¡ª I am busy with research work every day, and when I am free, Xiaobai suddenly thinks that today is already the middle of the month, when will Lanshu come to the capital? If she doesn''t come, then after I finish my research with my tutor this time, I will take a few days off to go to Qingyang County to have a look~ When Xiaobai made plans to go to Qingyang County in a few days, Lan Shu had already boarded the county bus to Linjiang City. Before going to see Xiaobai in the capital, she has to go to Linjiang City Newspaper Office. This time I went to the newspaper office to advertise not for the garment factory, but for the roll toilet paper and sanitary napkins of the toilet paper factory. Two different types of advertisements, one focuses on the convenience of use, and the other focuses on the care of women. Because of the age and people¡¯s closed-mindedness, the publicity of sanitary napkin advertisements must be subtle, otherwise it is easy to be labeled as a ¡®hooligan¡¯ by some remarks. So Lan Shu only focused on promoting the Yunrou brand in the advertisement of sanitary napkins, advocating that women should love and take good care of themselves, and dare not make further promotions for other things. This time Lan Shu will not only advertise in Linjiang City, but even after going to Kyoto, she will also advertise in Kyoto! In addition to newspaper advertisements, she also plans to see if she can find someone with a related major to shoot a video advertisement and put it on TV. In the 1980s, although there were not many families who bought TV sets, in many places, a dozen or even dozens of people might watch in front of a TV set. There are very few TV channels on the TV. Once an advertisement is placed, the chances of being seen by the general public will definitely be higher than imagined! Wait until the brand of Yunrou toilet paper is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the sanitary napkins will be known. In the future, there is no need to worry about the sales of the sanitary series products in the factory all over the country! After deciding on the layout and publication time of the ad, Lan Shu got on the train at Linjiang Railway Station the next day and headed for Kyoto¡ª Little cuties, the novel is in PK these two days, please vote a lot, especially the monthly pass. If possible, please give me a tip, thank you~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 171: indescribable Chapter 171 is hard to say After more than ten hours, Lan Shu arrived at Kyoto Railway Station. This time she came to the capital, she didn''t tell Xiaobai in advance, but planned to finish her own affairs first, and then go to see Xiaobai and give him a surprise. Arriving at the station at six o''clock in the morning, Lan Shu took the first bus and arrived near the compound where Lan''s family lived. Same as last time, she has to go home first. It''s still early, and Lan Weicheng hasn''t left the house yet. Even though Lan Shu''s arrival was here last month, it''s still a big surprise for the Lan family and his wife again! Xu Shan even felt that it would be great if her daughter could go home for a few days every month~ Only Lan Xinya managed to calm down a little recently, and now seeing Lan Shu, she stretched her face and became unhappy again. Lan Xinya''s mood is the same as Xu Shan''s, yet different. She was thinking, Lan Shu will come to Kyoto for a few days every month, right? ! If that''s the case, then she will never be in a good mood again! This morning was the same as the days when Lan Shu was here last month. Lan Xinya didn''t have breakfast at home. She greeted her parents and went out to eat at the breakfast stand outside. Lan''s family, the husband and wife looked at their two daughters who were obviously not in harmony, Xu Shan sighed deeply, and Lan Weicheng was also very helpless. But they persuaded and persuaded, but it didn''t work at all. After having breakfast at home, Lan Shu asked Lan Weicheng about the latest news on the Walkman. Knowing that Lu Wei and Qian Qing will send a batch of Walkmans to the counter for sale today, Lan Shu is even a little excited! "We''ll go there together later!" she said. When Lan Weicheng went out to the mall, Lan Shu was sitting in the back seat of the car. Carrying the feelings of his own daughter, Lan Weicheng didn''t feel tired at all, but raised the corners of his mouth involuntarily, in a great mood. Lan Weicheng suddenly thought that Xinya had never sat on the back seat of her own bicycle. When Xinya was young, the conditions at home were not very good, so she didn¡¯t buy a bicycle. But when she grows up a bit, the family has a bicycle, but the relationship between their father and daughter has become strange unconsciously. Lan Weicheng didn''t think that was unfamiliar before, but now, seeing that Shushu was willing to sit in the back seat of his car and didn''t do anything to alienate him, Lan Weicheng realized Xinya''s alienation from him at the beginning. At this moment, a thought even flashed through his mind¡ª Did Xinya know that she was not the biological daughter of the family, so she distanced herself from her? Such thoughts only appeared briefly, and Lan Weicheng didn''t think deeply about it, when he heard Shushu''s clear and light voice from the back seat. "Dad, did you go the wrong way?" Lan Weicheng snapped back to his senses, only to realize that he hadn''t paid attention to his bicycle and passed an intersection. "It''s not wrong, this road can also be reached." Lan Weicheng replied bluntly, refusing to admit that he was distracted even when riding a bicycle. Fortunately, the wrong road he took can indeed be reached, but the road conditions are a bit poor, and the road has to pass through small alleys, and there are more people. So the two of them would have arrived at Huaxia Mall at around 8:10, but it turned out to be almost 8:30! When the father and daughter arrived at the recorder and tape counter on the second floor of the mall, Lu Wei and Qian Qing were already waiting. Fortunately, the tellers go to work on time, so there will be no one at the counter. "You guys are finally here!" Qian Qing talked a lot, and his voice was loud, and when he saw the Lan family father and daughter, he immediately shouted. Lu Wei stood aside, motionless guarding the two big cardboard boxes at his feet. When he saw Lan Shu, he just nodded slightly towards Lan Shu, as a greeting. Lan Shu knew that the Walkman would be delivered today, and she was looking forward to it. When you see the big box, you know that something has arrived! Taking advantage of Lan Weicheng and Qian Qing''s conversation, Lan Shu walked quickly to Lu Wei''s side. "Let me see how our Walkman looks~!" She said with a happy smile. But when she opened the box, the original smile immediately settled on her face, and it turned into surprise and astonishment! Looking at a box of black square blocks in the box¡ª Lan Shu:? what is this? What about the Walkman? This is completely different from what she imagined! She didn''t even think that any young guy or young girl would be willing to hang such an ugly thing on her body! What she wants is a walkman, not a ''dynamite bag'', okay? Lu Wei didn''t find Lan Shu''s speechless, he just saw that the business decision maker of the Lan family froze after seeing their things. "Is there no other color?" Lan Shu raised her head and asked Lu Wei. "Yes." Lu Wei replied. Then he opened another box and showed it to Lan Shu. So Lan Shu saw a box of army green ''squares''. '' she:¡­ Is there any difference between this color and black? This thing is hanging on the body, the same is hard to say, okay~! Lan Shu sighed helplessly, and then her eyes fell on Lu Wei and Qian Qing one by one. She was careless before, she shouldn''t think that these two old men can have any aesthetics at all. "How many of these Walkman casings have you ordered?" Lan Shu asked Lu Wei worriedly. Beside ??, Qian Qing rushed to say the answer. "Because it''s the first time to do it, we ordered fifty of each color." Qian Qing didn''t notice the speechless expression on Lan Shu''s face, and he even told him proudly¡ª "Originally, Lu Wei planned to order all the shells to be army green, but I asked half of them to be black, which is the same color as the big brother, how cool~!" Lan Shu: ¡­ She felt that Qian Qing''s aesthetics were no better than Lu Wei''s. Fortunately, there are only 100 sets of Walkman cases in these two colors, and she still has room for replacement later. "Leave the design of the next Walkman to me." Lan Shu said with a sigh. "Also, our Walkman can''t just be sold naked, at least it must have a package and a name, right?" she said. Lan Shu is well aware of how important the future benefits of the brand are. "In the future, all Walkmans will be named and have our brand. In this way, when my Walkman''s fame is sold out, if other people want to buy Walkmans in the future, they will recognize our brand." Lu Wei listened to Lan Shu''s words, and after a moment of silence, he nodded. When Qian Qing heard this, he showed a suddenly realized expression! He took it very seriously and nodded his head vigorously. "That''s right! I didn''t even think about it later, I''ll leave the Walkman brand to you!" Lan Shu originally thought about asking for the right to name, because after seeing Lu Wei and Qian Qing''s appearance and aesthetics, she also had doubts about their ability to name. It''s just that the Walkman was made by two people. She felt that it should not be an easy task to get the right to name it. Even though she and her dad are major shareholders of the Walkman factory¡ª But now, what she was worried about did not happen, Qian Qing immediately gave up the power, and Lu Wei nodded after thinking about it. "Then you come to name it." Thank you Xian Jing for rewarding 100 book coins. Thank you for my book list? Reward 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 172: nothing wrong Chapter 172 Nothing wrong Lan Shu''s few words just now made Lu Wei feel that he is indeed not as business-minded as Lan Shu. So he still doesn''t participate in the matter of naming. As long as the Walkman they make sells well in the future. Before Lan Shu came here today, she never thought that she would take the initiative to stop work. She still has to advertise for the toilet paper factory, and she also has to meet Xiaobai. If it wasn''t for the terrible appearance of the Walkman and the lack of packaging, Lu Wei and Qian Qing are not good at these things, otherwise she wouldn''t find something for herself to do. But even if she wants to help, she doesn''t do everything by herself. Lan Shu went upstairs and walked around, bought a box of crayons and a stack of line drawing paper in the grocery store on the fifth floor of the shopping mall, and planned to use crayons to draw the appearance design of the Walkman on the back of the paper. Because the crayons only have twelve colors, they are all brighter pure colors without neutralization. So Lanshu chose blue and red, and used the method of color splicing, using red and white, blue and white splicing colors as the appearance color of the Walkman. When handing over the drawn drawings to Lu Wei and Qian Qing, Lan Shu specifically suggested that the blank parts except for the red and blue blocks should not be pure white when customizing the shell, but silver. If the plastic factory can''t make silver, then use light gray instead. Although white looks good with red and blue, in the minds of most people in this era, white is an unlucky color. In case white appears on the Walkman, it will "step on" the "poisonous point" that the general public cannot accept, so Lan Shu decided to be more conservative and replace it with a little light gray. When Lu Wei and Qian Qing saw the picture drawn by Lan Shu, their eyes lit up! With such a bright and lively appearance of the walkman, their original black and army green walkman is really ugly in comparison... "Let''s customize the casing of the Walkman in the future according to this design." Lan Shu said. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to explain¡ª "The card slot on the back of the Walkman should be kept well. When the time comes, it will be equipped with a buckle, which can be stuck on the belt around the waist, so that it can be called a Walkman." Although the Walkman produced by Lu Wei and Qian Qing is small in size, it does not have the function of being carried on a cassette belt. At best, it is small, and it is easy to take it out when you hold it in your hand. But the real Walkman, if you don¡¯t free your hands, how can it be called ¡®Walkman¡¯? And Lanshu''s focus design perfectly solves all these problems. Hearing Lan Shu''s explanation, Qian Qing learned that their Walkman could be hung on their waist to listen, and thought it was so cool! He even looked forward to the time when the new Walkman came out after the hundred ugly Walkmans were sold out. Thinking of this, Qian Qing offered to ask, "These Walkmans with not-so-good casings we made now, do you want to sell them cheaper?" Otherwise, when the new model comes out, people who bought the old model will definitely be unhappy. "If it''s cheap, don''t use it. Sell it at the price you originally set. When the new model comes out, add five yuan to the price." Lan Shu said directly. Style design also requires money, okay~ It¡¯s okay to pay a few dollars more for good-looking things~! With Lan Shu''s walkman appearance design, Lu Wei and Qian Qing have no objection to Lan Shu''s words. After that, Lan Shu used the remaining draft paper to draw three pictures of the packaging, which were the outer carton packaging, the inner bubble packaging, and a layer of white non-woven bag to wrap the Walkman to avoid bumps and scratches. Lan Shu explained to Qian Qing one by one the pictures she had drawn. Pictures of the Walkman are also printed on the outer carton, so that buyers can intuitively know what is inside. Seeing the disassembled pictures of the packaging drawn by Lan Shu, before Lu Wei had time to say anything, Qian Qing immediately became excited! "With such a package, the extra five yuan immediately feels worth it!" Lan Shu wanted this effect. While making people spend money, they feel that the value for money is excellent. Only in this way, their business will continue to flow and last for a long time. After finalizing the appearance and packaging details of the Walkman with Lu Wei and Qian Qing, only the brand name of the Walkman remains. Already thought of the name Lan Shu, it''s called ''Xiang Le''. Simple and easy to remember, once you hear it, it has something to do with the Walkman playing music. Hearing Lan Shu''s name, Lu Wei and Qian Qing were very satisfied. After solving the follow-up problem of the Walkman, Lan Shu didn''t stay in the mall, and soon waved goodbye to Lu Wei and Qian Qing. She is going to walk around Kyoto to inquire about newspaper and TV advertisements. By the way, I also need to find a professional photographer to shoot commercials for toilet rolls. As for intimate things like sanitary napkins, they are not suitable for TV. At most, it is to add unopened sanitary napkins in the advertisement, and finally put them together with the roll of toilet paper to make a freeze-frame picture. As long as the audience is familiar with the brand and outer packaging of sanitary napkins, and knows that this sanitary napkin and Yunrou roll toilet paper are produced by the same factory, Lan Shu''s goal will be achieved. For the next two days, Lan Shu has been running around for the advertisement. It is not difficult to advertise in the newspaper. On the same day, she found the newspaper office, determined the content of the advertisement, and paid the fee. It is similar to advertising in newspapers in Linjiang City. At most, newspaper advertisements in Kyoto only give half a page, and the advertising cost is doubled. Even though it costs 2,000 yuan to publish a newspaper, Lan Shu did not hesitate to book two issues, once a week, to consolidate the memory of newspaper readers. As for TV commercials. Lan Shu found the TV station, but was told that although there were channels on the TV, they had never been advertised. She was the first person to take the initiative to spend money on advertising. As for whether the advertisement can be made, we have to wait for the leaders of the TV station to meet together on Friday, and then we can discuss and decide. Today is only Tuesday, so Lan Shu can only wait patiently for the result. But before that, don''t delay her to find someone who shoots professional videos first. The current video is still filmed on a tape machine, the price is not low, and it is calculated by the minute. But these are all within Lan Shu''s expectation. Fortunately, the ad she wants is not complicated. In the early stage of advertising, advertising does not require a rich plot, and it only takes a few seconds to repeat the ad words, which is the most memorable ad. After Lan Shu finished these things, when she went home for dinner at night, she heard Lan Weicheng say at the dining table that there was good news at the counter in the mall! Their first batch of Walkmans didn¡¯t look good, but because they were small and easy to use, they sold well. Eleven units have been sold in the past two days, each priced at 70 yuan. This is just the price of the Walkman without the recording function. Walkmans with recording functions such as ?? are produced, and the price is expected to sell for more than 100 yuan! Walkmans with both functions must be produced, this is what Lan Shu requested. In her opinion, there are high and low prices to highlight the cost-effectiveness of high-priced Walkmans. This chapter is a new chapter with 1000 recommended votes. Little cuties remember to keep voting~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 173: Unpredictable people, unpredictable human nature Chapter 173 People''s hearts are unpredictable, human nature is unpredictable Lan''s house, Lan Xinya sat at the dining table, listening to the chat between her father and Lan Shu, feeling like she couldn''t get in the conversation at all. When her father mentioned that the sales of Walkmans were good, Lan Xinya couldn''t quite understand the joy she felt. After much difficulty, she finally asked, "What is a Walkman?" "It''s a small device for playing tapes. It''s only the length of one hand. After the tape is stuck, you can hold it in your hand and listen to music anytime, anywhere!" Lan Weicheng explained immediately. Even though he is not that kind of fanatical music lover, he still loves the effect of listening to tapes on the Walkman~! Hearing what her father said, Lan Xinya immediately said, "Dad, I want a Walkman." It is only natural for Lan Xinya to ask for the things she sells at home. Lan Weicheng also felt that it was quite normal to give his daughter a Walkman. It''s just that the style of Walkmans is really not good-looking now. As a father, you must want the best for your children. So he replied, "Xinya, don''t worry, just wait, I''ll bring you back a Walkman next month." When Lan Xinya heard that she had to wait, she was immediately dissatisfied! Obviously they are sold on the counter at her house, why make her wait? She pursed her lips and looked at Lan Weicheng, "Dad, what do you mean, can you bring back the unsold goods and give them to me?" Before changing, Lan Xinya would not be so impulsive and say such unpleasant things. But now, she just feels that her father, who loved and doted on her before, has not treated her so well since he found his biological daughter back. Even now, even a walkman worth tens of dollars is reluctant to give it to myself immediately! When Lan Weicheng heard what his adopted daughter said, he looked at the child he raised in disbelief. "Xinya, why do you think so? I just..." "If you don''t want me to think this way, why don''t you give me the Walkman immediately, but ask me to wait another half a month?" Lan Xinya questioned. She had never seen anything like a walkman before, but now it sounded like it was obviously something new. If I can get it first and bring it to the unit, it will also attract attention, right? But her father didn''t want to let him get the new product, but waited for half a month before talking about it. Is it intended to observe for half a month, and throw one to myself when it can''t be sold out, to pass myself off? At this moment, Lan Xinya''s heart was overwhelmed. When Lan Weicheng heard what his adoptive daughter said, he was also angry! He was obviously thinking about the children, but he was not understood. "You really want it soon?" Lan Weicheng looked at Lan Xinya and asked for a definite answer. "Yes, I don''t want to wait until next month to get it." Lan Xinya replied confidently. Lan Weicheng nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, "Okay, then I''ll bring one back to you tomorrow night." Although he said so, Lan Weicheng''s tone was clearly displeased, even sullen. Originally, he wanted to give his adoptive daughter a good-looking walkman with many functions, but now it seems that since the adoptive daughter doesn''t appreciate it, forget it. When Lan Xinya heard Lan Weicheng''s words, she was satisfied and relieved. She even glanced provocatively at Lan Shu who had been silent on the other side of the table. Look~! Even if you are not your own, so what? Dad still cared about the family relationship between them for more than ten years. Being able to get the Walkman is not only for Lan Xinya to ask for things from her family, but also for her to prove that she is still favored. However, Lan Xinya didn''t know that what she did was the beginning of fading the family relationship. Besides, Xu Shan watched Xinya''s aggressive and hostile tone when she spoke at home, she shook her head slightly, feeling a little helpless in her heart. It was impossible for her to get her daughters to live in harmony at the beginning. And now, their originally harmonious family relationship, don''t know when, began to have a bad change... Xu Shan couldn''t figure it out, how could their relationship of more than ten years change so quickly? Her Xinya, can she really not return to her gentle and kind-hearted appearance? Xu Shan hopes that her adopted daughter will be the same as before, but human nature is unpredictable. She had never seen through Lan Xinya''s wariness before. Now I don''t understand that people''s hearts are unpredictable, even the best family relationship will change one day. There are very few people who can keep their original intentions unchanged... ¡­ The next day, Wednesday. There are still two days before the TV station will hold a meeting on Friday to discuss whether the TV commercial will be launched. In the past two days, Lan Shu has nothing to do. She is going to Peking University School of Medicine to see Xiaobai. Before she left, she went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some pork belly and ribs. She was going to make braised pork and bring a garlic ribs with her. Lan Shu started to work early in the morning, and it was around ten o''clock that she made two kinds of food. She put the braised pork and garlic ribs into two lunch boxes respectively, then wrapped the lunch boxes with a towel to keep them warm, and found a cloth bag to pack the lunch boxes. After getting ready, Lan Shu took the bus three times and finally arrived at Peking University School of Medicine at noon. The location of Peking University School of Medicine is located in the western part of Kyoto, covering an area of ??700 to 800 mu. The school is lined with trees, and there are three or four-story teaching buildings everywhere, as well as the tallest two six-story laboratory buildings. At this time, the management of the school gate was not too strict. Lan Shu explained her intention to the gate guard, and after registering, she was allowed to enter the college. Actually, at her age, even if she doesn''t register, she won''t be blocked if she walks in directly. There are a lot of students in the school, so it is not difficult for Lan Shu to pretend to be a student. But Lan Shu has always been rigorous in her work. When she came to see Xiaobai, she had to abide by the rules, otherwise, if it was found out that she came in pretending to be a student, it might cause Xiaobai some trouble. Because it was the end of get out of class at noon, people could be seen everywhere in the school. Lan Shu stopped several students along the way to ask for directions, and finally found the third-year pharmacology class. At the end of get out of class time, the students in the class have almost left, and the few three or four people are still reading in the class while eating the steamed buns that have been brought to the class in the morning. These students are all from poor families. They concentrate on studying during school. Seeing their hardships, Lan Shu thought of the two boxes of food she was carrying. If she was a little bit more Holy Mother, she would have given away the food. But she won''t do that. There are not many mediocre students who can come to Peking University School of Medicine. The more capable people are, the more ambitious they are. If you really see that the other person''s food is not good, you can directly share the food. The behavior of helping others is too obvious, and it is easy to hurt people''s self-esteem. Lan Shu stood at the door of the classroom for a while, and then knocked on the door with a ''bang, bang, bang''. After several students in the classroom turned their eyes towards her, she smiled politely and asked softly. "Hello, I''m here to find Gu Jue, do you know where he is now?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 174: intentionally misleading Chapter 174 deliberately misleading "Are you looking for Gu Jue?" Among the students, the one sitting at the front was wearing black-rimmed glasses. The boy in his twenties thought for a while before answering. "Gu Jue recently participated in a drug research course with Professor Zhang of our school. He is usually in the laboratory building. If you want to find him, you can go to the fifth floor of Building No. 2. I don''t know which laboratory. " It was enough for Lan Shu to get such specific information. She nodded and said to several students in the classroom, "Thank you." Then he waved to several people, "Goodbye." After speaking, she turned and left. In the classroom, several boys watched the girl leave, but they didn''t look back immediately. In the environment where everyone was studying quietly, several people couldn''t help but started communicating. "That girl is really polite and pretty, who could it be for Gu Jue?" "I have an idea that she is carrying a heavy bag in her hand. It should be something for Gu Jue. Is it a family member?" "I guess it''s a girlfriend. She doesn''t look like Gu Jue, but she is about the same age as Gu Jue." "Gu Jue hasn''t turned eighteen yet, will he have a girlfriend?" "What''s so strange about this, we are the only ones who are full of academics, so we don''t have girlfriends, let alone 18 years old outside the school, there are quite a few children at the age of 15 or 16~" "If it''s really Gu Jue''s girlfriend, then I''d be a little envious of Gu Jue. Not only did he study well at such a young age, he was valued by Professor Zhang, and he also has such a beautiful girlfriend..." The discussion in the classroom did not continue, because the four boys shut up enviously. Going on, they were all sore. Forget it, let¡¯s study hard. After graduating and going out to find a good job, and then get a girlfriend, it shouldn''t be difficult... ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu found the second building of the experimental building according to the tips of Xiaobai''s classmate. There are two laboratory buildings in Peking University School of Medicine, which are located on the east and west sides of the school. This time she is going to the building on the east side. Because of the relatively large area of ??the school, even if Lan Shu quickened her pace, she still walked for more than ten minutes. When she got downstairs, she glanced at the plum watch on her arm¡ª It''s half past twelve. Right now, I don''t know if Xiaobai has eaten. There is no elevator in the building, so Lan Shu took the stairs to the fifth floor. Because there is no specific lab number, Lan Shu has only two choices, ask someone for directions, or search for it by herself. It was already lunch time, the experimental building was relatively quiet, and there was no one in the corridor. Lan Shu was planning to find a room and knock on the door to ask where Professor Zhang''s laboratory is? In the corridor more than 20 meters away, the door of a room was opened, and several people in white coats, ranging in age from 20 to 30, walked out of the room. These people are male and female, about seven or eight, most of them are male, only two are female, and they seem to be quite old. Lan Shu saw Xiaobai who stood out in the crowd due to his height advantage among several people at a glance! She waved her hand in Xiaobai''s direction, and then saw Xiaobai who was listening to someone else''s words, and suddenly felt something, and slowly looked in her direction¡ª Xiao Bai had just come out of the laboratory when he saw Lan Shu waving at him, his first reaction was to be stunned! He wondered if he missed someone too much, so he had hallucinations? But when he heard Lan Shu''s voice from the empty corridor¡ª "noob." The two words with a slight echo made him confirm one thing. ¡ª¡ªLan Shu is really here! He immediately left the schoolmate who was still talking to him, with a smile on his face instantly, and walked quickly towards Lan Shu. "Blue... Shu." Almost called out ''Sister Lan'', but at the critical moment, Xiaobai changed the name. He instinctively didn''t want the seniors and sisters behind him to know that the girl who came to the school to look for him at this time was his ''sister''. When Lan Shu heard Xiao Bai directly calling out her name, she was only slightly taken aback. Then she thought, maybe Xiao Bai felt embarrassed in front of other people at school? The name "Sister Lan" is what Xiaobai called when she had no memory, was like a blank sheet of paper, and had no family, so she was more dependent on herself. Now that he has returned to Kyoto, he heard that he has recovered some of his childhood memories when he called. Plus he is now a student of Peking University School of Medicine, maybe boys want to save face, and when there are many people, they can¡¯t call him this kind of title that looks like he hasn¡¯t grown up, right? So when Xiaobai called her name directly, Lan Shu didn''t pay much attention. She even nodded, and changed the address to Xiaobai, "Gu Jue, come here." While speaking, she waved to Xiaobai. After Xiaobai walked up to her, Lan Shu immediately stuffed the cloth bag containing lunch into his arms. "I brought you something to eat." After finishing speaking, she glanced at the students behind Xiaobai, who were walking this way, and added, "You can also share it with..." "It doesn''t matter, sister Lan made it for me." Xiao Bai moved closer and whispered in Lan Shu''s ear. The soft "Sister Lan" was heard by Lan Shu, who even felt a little willful and coquettish. Sure enough, Xiaobai changed his address in front of others, because he didn''t want others to think of him as a "little milk dog", right? Even if there is no concept of "milk dog" in this era, but let him shout "Sister Lan, Sister Lan~" as a teenager with a height of 180+, he still doesn''t have the cool demeanor that most young people pursue today. After Xiaobai finished speaking, he turned to the other people in the lab behind and said, "I still have something to do, so I won''t eat together at noon." After finishing speaking, he grabbed Lan Shu''s wrist and walked downstairs quickly. While walking, Xiaobai''s heart couldn''t help beating ''bang, bang, bang''! It was the first time for him to call Lan Shu''s name and drag Lan Shu away in front of the seniors and sisters in his laboratory. I don''t know if in the eyes of the seniors and sisters, they think that Lan Shu has a good relationship with him, the kind that is so good that it exceeds the boundaries of friends? At this moment, Xiaobai deliberately wanted to make people misunderstand. Xiao Bai wanted to let everyone know his thoughts on Lan Shu! But he kept in mind what his parents said, the current self is not qualified to confess... ¡­ The two went downstairs and sat down beside a flower bed with few people. Xiao Bai took out the lunch boxes from the cloth bag in his hand and opened them one by one. The smell came over his face, but Xiao Bai didn''t eat it immediately, but looked at the boxed lunch in his hand seriously, then raised his head and smiled at Lan Shu. "It''s all what I like to eat." His happy eyes almost narrowed into a line. Because Lan Shu remembers all her preferences. (end of this chapter) Chapter 175: want to speak out Chapter 175 Want to say it Although it has been more than two hours since the food was out of the pot, the contents inside are still warm because Lan Shu wrapped the lunch box with a towel to keep it warm. Xiao Bai picked up the chopsticks wrapped in a towel next to the lunch box, and tasted the braised pork and garlic ribs in the box. "tasty!" The smell is still familiar, making Xiaobai feel as if he has returned to the time when he was in Tianshui Village and Qingyang County. Xiao Bai didn''t eat too much, so he covered the lunch box again. He looked at Lan Shu, and then remembered to ask¡ª "Sister Lan, have you eaten yet? The food in our school cafeteria is not bad, let''s have some together?" The Lan family is not close to Peking University School of Medicine, and it will take time to come here. It will take time to find a laboratory. Adding up these times, Xiaobai guessed that there is a high probability that Lanshu came here without having lunch. Opposite, Lan Shu will not be polite to Xiao Bai. When she was asked, she shook her head directly, "I didn''t eat, I just went to eat in your school cafeteria, and let me experience the eating environment in the university cafeteria." She hasn''t eaten in the school cafeteria for almost a year. Of course, that belonged to my former self. And Xiaobai can''t let Xiaobai know this. Next, Xiaobai led the way, and the two headed towards the canteen of Peking University School of Medicine. Along the way, Xiaobai did not forget to introduce some passing scenery of their school to Lan Shu. There will be a few words about his current situation in school. For example, now he is being led by a professor to participate in drug experiments. In addition to him, the lowest educated person in the entire laboratory is also a graduate student. While listening, Lan Shu lamented Xiao Bai''s medical talent. In addition, she also found that along the way, there were countless probing eyes from the school on her. Xiaobai seems to be quite famous in school, and Lan Shu has seen girls passing by looking towards them several times. Then the girls focused on themselves several times. When he arrived near the school cafeteria, there was another girl in her twenties, wearing a milky white sweater and a light brown mid-length windbreaker jacket, with a pretty face, blocking the way in front of Xiao Bai. "Gu Jue, we meet again, haven''t you eaten yet?" the girl said with a pure smile. After that, her eyes fell on Lan Shu who was beside her. "Hello, I''m a first-year student at Peking University School of Medicine, and I was in the same class as Gu Jue before." The girl said, then turned to ask, "I''ve never seen anyone come to school looking for Gu Jue before, you belong to Gu Jue..." Looking at the curious expression on the girl''s face, Lan Shu didn''t think much of it, and was about to answer casually, but was snatched away by Xiao Bai beside her. "I don''t know you well, so there''s no need to tell you about me, right?" Xiao Bai looked up at the girl. Although what he said was not pleasant, it was true. After he entered school, he only stayed in the freshman year for a week. He devoted himself to studying and didn''t have much communication with the students in the class. He felt that this girl suddenly stepped forward and stopped them from asking questions, which was a bit too nosy. Lan Shu hasn''t had lunch yet, if she delays any longer, the food in the cafeteria will be cold. Thinking of this, Xiao Bai immediately grabbed Lan Shu''s wrist, walked past the girls blocking the way, and walked straight to the cafeteria. During the distance of more than 100 meters from the entrance of the cafeteria to the cafeteria, many students saw the scene of two people ''holding hands'' along the way. Their Peking University School of Medicine has a gifted student who skipped a grade from freshman to junior before the end of this semester. This is known to the whole school. Therefore, Gu Jue is quite famous in school! Even if some students don''t know him, they will know that he is Gu Jue whenever they see him. It was spread all over the school. The genius who jumped from freshman to junior was young, tall and handsome! Gu Jue is the only person who meets such standards in the entire Peking University School of Medicine! Before there were some girls in school who had some thoughts about Gu Jue, but because Gu Jue was a little younger and sister-brother love was not popular in this era, many people were discouraged. A small number of open-minded girls don''t mind Gu Jue being young, they will find opportunities to get in touch with Gu Jue on weekdays. But because Gu Jue couldn''t tolerate anything other than studying, any girls who approached him to strike up a conversation all failed. Now, everyone saw that he took the initiative to hold the girl''s hand! While this scene surprised many people in the school, some girls even couldn''t help feeling envious and jealous. "Sigh~ Gu Jue is such an outstanding boy, he actually has a girlfriend!" "It seems that his girlfriend is older than him. If I knew he could accept girls older than him, I would have confessed to him..." "So what''s the point of confessing? Didn''t that freshman Yang Meimei also confess? Yang Meimei is so good-looking, she was rejected by Gu Jue~!" That''s right, before the girl Gu Jue brought showed up at school, he didn''t seem interested in any girls. Now it seems that he already has a girlfriend... ¡­ In the cafeteria of Peking University School of Medicine, Lan Shu stood in front of the glass window for taking food, looked at the dishes on the big iron plate in the cafeteria window, and chose a few at random. Xiao Bai beside him immediately took out the meal ticket used in the school and paid the bill. Xiaobai didn''t order anything, but just ordered rice. Because no matter how good the food in the cafeteria is, it can''t compare to the two lunch boxes he has in hand at the moment. The two found a table nearby and sat down. Xiaobai carried a tray and arranged all the meals on the table, and then he reopened the lunch box. During the meal, although Lan Shu ordered food, she didn''t actually eat much. On the contrary, half a bowl of garlic pork ribs in her bowl was piled up, all of which were given to her by Xiao Bai. Even though Xiaobai hasn''t eaten the dishes cooked by Lan Shu for a long time, he still won''t take all the delicious food for himself. He wants to let Lan Shu eat well first, and he is responsible for clearing the bottom line. He knew that Lan Shu thought braised pork was too greasy, but she liked garlic spare ribs, so Xiao Bai made some more for her. After dinner, Lan Shu was ready to leave when she learned that Xiao Bai would go to the laboratory in the afternoon. "Sister Lan, in fact, there is still a while before I go to the laboratory, shall I take you around the school?" Xiao Bai had just met Lan Shu, and was reluctant to let her go. Lan Shu saw Xiaobai looking at her pitifully, and her tone was full of expectation. Lan Shu: ¡­ can''t bear to refuse. So she nodded. Next, Xiaobai took her around the school. The two walked through the playground, through the teaching building, and finally arrived near the experimental building. Lan Shu stopped and looked up at Xiao Bai. "Okay, it''s time for you to go back to the lab," she said. Seeing that Lan Shu is really leaving, Xiao Bai''s mood tightens for no reason. The previous reluctance turned into more intense tension, some words that have been kept in my heart, and at this moment I even want to say it impulsively¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 176: I want to be your son-in-law Chapter 176 Wants to Be Your Son-in-Law "Then I''m leaving." Lan Shu, who hadn''t noticed it, said softly, and was about to turn around and leave. "Wait!" Xiao Bai almost subconsciously grabbed Lan Shu''s wrist, keeping her temporarily! At this time, several seniors and sisters who were in the same laboratory as Xiaobai happened to pass by the laboratory building. Seeing the reluctance of the two of them, a senior graduate student who was more able to talk to Xiaobai in the laboratory said to him jokingly, "Gu Jue, I can''t bear to have a girlfriend~ ?¡± girlfriend? When Lan Shu heard these three words, she immediately understood that the other party had misunderstood! She immediately looked at the other party and explained, "I am Gu Jue''s...sister." Although there is no blood relationship between her and Xiaobai, Lan Shu feels that the relationship they have shared through hardships together is no more than that of ordinary siblings. On the opposite side, several graduate student seniors and senior sisters were slightly taken aback when they heard that they were wrong, and then immediately apologized. "Sorry, we misunderstood." Although they said so, they still felt pity in their hearts. Such a beautiful girl seems to be a perfect match for Gu Jue, but she turns out to be a sibling? But I don''t know if it''s their illusion, the way Gu Jue looks at the girl... It seems that it is not as simple as siblings. After apologizing, several seniors and sisters left in a hurry in embarrassment. Besides, when Xiaobai heard Lan Shu''s explanation, he suddenly felt drenched in cold water¡ª Lan Shu just thinks of herself as a younger brother? Thinking of Lan Shu''s tone of voice and the way she looked at him, Xiao Bai suddenly understood! He suddenly realized that the relationship between himself and Lan Shu was wrong! He thought they were friends, but now he realizes that Lan Shu treats him like a younger brother! Such cognition is hard for Xiaobai to accept. Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu with complicated emotions in his eyes. He originally had control over his emotions, but instantly felt like he was about to be overwhelmed! It made him want to tell Lan Shu his thoughts even stronger! At this moment, even though Xiaobai still remembered that his parents said that he was not qualified to pursue Lan Shu, he still wanted to tell him. He doesn''t just want to be her brother! He didn''t want Lan Shu to get used to treating herself like a child who didn''t grow up! "Lan Shu, I don''t want to be your younger brother." Xiao Bai thought so in his heart, and said so. Hearing Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu was stunned. At this moment, she felt mixed feelings, lost, and even a little sad. The feeling that she is sincere and treats the other party as a younger brother, but the other party does not regard her as a sister, which makes Lan Shu even feel that she is blindly invested in her feelings... Lan Shu doesn''t believe that Xiao Bai is that kind of heartless and ungrateful person, but she can''t fake what she heard with her own ears. When she was feeling heavy and didn''t know how to face Xiao Bai in the future, she heard Xiao Bai say¡ª¡ª "Lan Shu, Brother Da Zhuang picked me up back then, didn''t he say he wanted me to be your son-in-law?" Xiao Bai said this seriously, and there was even expectation in his eyes. Lan Shu:? ? ? Her sad emotions just now were swept away in an instant, turning into surprise and bewilderment. "Xiaobai, don''t take my elder brother''s words to heart, our family will not make things difficult for you." Her family picked up Xiaobai, and she really has kindness to Xiaobai, but because of this, she can''t be kidnapped morally, making Xiaobai have to be their family''s son-in-law! Lan Shu didn''t expect that this matter would be remembered by Xiao Bai, and now it''s embarrassing to bring it up in front of her. "I''m not in trouble." Xiao Bai said immediately. "Lanshu, I want to be your door-to-door son-in-law." He looked serious. Lan Shu: ¡­ At this moment, she suddenly discovered that the well-behaved and innocent boy in her impression had grown a lot taller than when they first met half a year ago. Xiaobai''s slender and straight figure before, is now even taller and straighter. The former youth gradually became more stable and youthful. He called her by name, instead of the previous ''Sister Lan''. Even though the boy has grown physically, Lan Shu feels that Xiao Bai''s mentality is still naive and naive. "Xiaobai, don''t make trouble..." At this moment, Lan Shu was not happy because Xiaobai offered to marry her, on the contrary, the psychological pressure had never been greater! She didn''t expect that what her elder brother said casually at home had such a big impact on Xiao Bai''s psychology! "Lan Shu, I''m not joking, I don''t want to be your younger brother, I want to marry you." Xiao Bai said firmly. The young man''s hasty decision made Lan Shu not sad or sad, but a little headache. "Okay, it''s time for you to go to the laboratory." Lan Shu said. She didn''t take Xiao Bai''s words seriously, even if he said so, but in Lan Shu''s view, Xiao Bai was mostly grateful. You are still young. In order to be grateful, I have to put my future happiness into it on the spur of the moment. Fortunately, Xiaobai met himself, and he still has a conscience. Otherwise, if it were someone else, maybe because of Xiaobai''s figure, appearance and family, he would really push the boat along and accept this innocent ''little milk dog''. Xiaobai never expected that Lan Shu would not take his confession seriously. She even felt that she just said it impulsively¡ª At this moment, he suddenly understood the reason why his parents said that he is not qualified to pursue Lan Shu now. Because in her eyes, she is not mature enough, so she doesn''t need to take her words seriously... "Lan Shu, I''m serious!" Even though she knows that her words may be useless, Xiaobai still has to express her heart clearly. But in the end, it was Lan Shu who answered Xiao Bai, "Go to the laboratory." noob:¡­ He knew that he would not be able to convince Lan Shu of his sincerity today, so Xiao Bai could only sigh, turn around every step, and walk towards the laboratory building unwillingly. Although Lan Shu seemed to have a relaxed face, she didn''t feel at ease with Xiao Bai''s words. In fact, when Xiaobai said that he was going to be her family''s son-in-law, Lan Shu''s heart beat violently several times, not knowing whether it was because of fright or other reasons. It wasn''t until Xiaobai left that Lan Shu held onto her throbbing chest to slowly calm down. Looking at the experimental building of Peking University School of Medicine, at this moment, Lan Shu secretly warned herself that even if Xiao Bai is good-looking, she is completely the type she likes, but she can''t make impulsive decisions! Underage is one thing. In addition, once the relationship between them becomes different, in case of separation in the future, there is no need to be friends~! Compared to talking about feelings, Lan Shu hopes to maintain a pure friendship with Xiaobai. Friends can last forever, but the relationship will only get weaker and weaker. She still understands the reason why ''nest grass'' cannot be eaten! (end of this chapter) Chapter 177: character problem Chapter 177 Character Issues The next day, Lan Shu originally planned to deliver another meal to Xiao Bai, but because of the boy''s impulsive confession yesterday, he changed the schedule. There is still one day before the result of whether the TV commercial can be launched, and there is nothing else to do. In the morning, Lan Shu followed Lan Weicheng to Huaxia Mall to check the situation of several counters of her own. Because the Walkman business was relatively good in the past two days, after Lan Weicheng arrived at the mall, he directly stayed at the tape recorder and tape counter on the second floor. After looking at the sales of Walkmans, Lan Shu turned around and went up to the third floor. She has been to the watch counter on the third floor before, and the teller who sells goods at the counter already knows her. Seeing the boss'' daughter coming, the teller was very enthusiastic, and he also knew everything about the recent sales situation at the counter that Lan Shu casually asked. Lan Shu also asked a few questions about the situation at the cosmetics counter. Although there is a distance between the watch counter and the cosmetics counter, they both sell goods on the same floor, and the tellers know each other more or less, even during their commute, they can hear some news while chatting with other tellers. The teller who sells watches is called Xiao Wang. He is a clever young man. When he heard Lan Shu asking this question, he knew how to answer it. "The business at the cosmetics counter opened by the boss is very good. Although the counter is newly opened, the sales of goods are better than other cosmetics counters." Hearing this, Lan Shu nodded. It seems that her previous idea of ??finding a beautiful teller has worked. Seeing that the boss''s daughter was satisfied with her answer, Xiao Wang couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. But it was because of his slightly relieved reaction that Lan Shu discovered the problem. Obviously, although what Xiao Wang told her was not false, he still had other information to hide from himself and did not say it out. Lan Shu didn''t press the question on the spot, but casually told Xiao Wang to go to the counter over there to have a look, and then walked towards the cosmetics counter. The cosmetics counter that Lan Weicheng rented on the third floor of Huaxia Shopping Center was not big, it was a glass counter more than four meters long, and there were some creams, eyebrow pencils, rouge and lipstick inside. Lan Shu noticed that there were two kinds of creams on the counter, each from different manufacturers. Although there were many lipsticks, there were only three or four shades. The eyebrow pencils are also black and brown, and the blush is only one type. The few boxes of eye shadows are basically a three-color platter of black, light coffee, and brown. Although there are few types of things in the counter, there are quite a few people who come here to buy cosmetics in front of the counter. Most of these potential consumers are women, in their twenties to thirties. Some friends come together, and some men and women who seem to have an unusual relationship come together, and the man buys cosmetics for the woman around him. Seeing Lan Shu passing by the counter, and obviously interested in paying attention to the cosmetics in the counter, the female teller in a red turtleneck sweater and black trousers, with eyebrows and lipstick on her face, immediately said positively, "Hello , what do you want to buy?" Seeing that she was asked, Lan Shu replied, "Just take a look." While remaining calm, he observed secretly. The dress and behavior of the female teller are fine, but why is it that the teller at the watch counter is hiding something? In order to find out what happened, Lan Shu pretended to be a customer and stayed at the counter for a while. Fortunately, the cosmetics counter was newly opened, and this was Lan Shu''s first visit, so the female teller didn''t know her, and only treated her as an ordinary customer. During the few minutes that Lan Shu was looking at the cosmetics, the man and woman who were in a romantic relationship, the woman chose a lipstick and a box of cream, and when the man was checking out, the female teller said with a smile on her face, "You are welcome. The object is really good." There are also two young girls who went shopping together, and each of them chose the same cosmetics. When checking out, although the female teller also smiled, her attitude was not as good as that of the two couples before. In front of the counter, after the four customers left one after another, only Lan Shu and another girl who was picking cosmetics were left. Lan Shu noticed that the girl had been looking at the counter for quite a while, but the female teller did not come to greet her. And I have only been here for a few minutes, from the beginning when the female teller asked me what to buy, now I can''t leave my eyes for a moment. Even after she was not busy, she enthusiastically introduced the cosmetics on the counter to herself, but from the beginning to the end, she didn''t devote any energy to receiving the girl who came to the mall alone. What is the reason? Lan Shu couldn''t even figure it out for a moment! So she took the initiative to get close to the girl, and casually struck up a conversation, "Have you decided what to buy? I want to buy lipstick, but it''s so hard to choose a color~!" Although there are only three or four colors of lipstick today, most people don¡¯t buy every color. Generally, one girl buys one and it¡¯s enough for a long time. Hearing someone actively talking to her, the girl raised her head. The next second, what Lan Shu saw was a plain face¡ª¡ª The appearance is average, but it sounds good. The girl has several pimples on her face, small eyes, and thick lips. According to the aesthetics of this era, she is definitely not good-looking, and even a little ugly. And the moment she saw the girl''s appearance, Lan Shu seemed to ''catch'' the clue that the female teller had different attitudes towards customers. But... Does the female teller''s attitude towards customers really depend on the customer''s appearance? She wasn''t quite sure yet. But then, Lan Shu heard the voice of the female teller next to her ear¡ª "Little girl, you are beautiful and have fair skin. You will look good with any color of lipstick you choose." As she said that, she glanced at the girl with small eyes and pimples next to Lan Shu, and said in a strange way, "It''s useless to dress up an ugly person, they won''t look good~!" The voice of the female teller fell, and the girl with small eyes blushed instantly with shame! She lowered her head, not wanting anyone to see her face with low self-esteem. Now, Lan Shu finally identified the female teller''s problem! She turned out to be a face controler! But it¡¯s okay to control the appearance. Everyone has a love for beauty, but you can¡¯t despise people who are not so good-looking. This is a matter of character! Although the cosmetics counter has not been opened for a long time, there should be more than one incident where female tellers dislike ordinary-looking customers. Otherwise Xiao Wang at the watch counter would not know. Presumably besides Xiao Wang, there should be quite a few tellers at the other counters on the third floor who know this. Fortunately, Lan Shu found out in time, otherwise if the female tellers were allowed to do this in the long run, sooner or later, their business at the counter would be completely ruined! Seeing that the ugly girl reflected by the words was about to leave, Lan Shu quickly grabbed the girl''s wrist¡ª She didn''t seem to hear what the female teller said, but said softly to the girl. "Miss, your eyebrows are very beautiful, you don''t even need an eyebrow pencil to draw them, and your eyes are also very beautiful, they turned out to be red phoenix eyes~! And, and, if you put lipstick on your lips, they must be very sexy!" Sorry, today¡¯s update is a bit late, and there is only one chapter. The child at home has a high fever, so I really don¡¯t have the heart to type. Take time to write tomorrow~ Excuse me. (end of this chapter) Chapter 178: make up Chapter 178 Makeup When the girl heard Lan Shu''s words, her first reaction was that she couldn''t believe it! But when she met Lan Shu''s eyes and saw such a young and beautiful girl in front of her, sincerely praising herself, she couldn''t help but want to believe... "real?" The tone of the other party doesn''t sound like he''s telling a lie. Besides, the female teller heard a beautiful customer in front of her praise an ugly guy as good-looking, but the ugly guy still believed it, which really made her unable to listen! So she subconsciously opened her mouth to take the words¡ª "How could it be true! You are not good-looking, and you have acne on your face, and others are just flattering you~!" Speaking of others¡¯ ugliness so bluntly made the little-eyed girl who finally regained confidence in her appearance bow her head in shame again... When Lan Shu heard what the female teller said, she immediately frowned. The female teller has seriously hurt the feelings of consumers and violated their legitimate rights and interests! Such a teller, she has enough reasons to fire the other party! It''s a pity that seeing the little-eyed girl next to her turn around to leave again, Lan Shu didn''t care about dealing with the female teller for a while, but immediately asked to stay. "It is because everyone has imperfections that cosmetics appear. Appropriate cosmetics can modify the original imperfect facial features, making people look better and more confident!" She said, met the girl''s eyes, and said in a gentle tone, "Young lady, you are here to buy cosmetics to make yourself look good, right?" After the voice fell, Lan Shu tapped on the glass counter with one hand, then she raised her head slightly, glanced sideways at the female teller, the expression on her face instantly changed from sunny to cloudy, and said coldly. "Take out the cream, tri-color eye shadow, and dark red lipstick." The female teller heard the beautiful girl in front of her speak to her in a commanding tone, and she was subconsciously prepared to do so under the influence of the invisible aura on her body. But she had already reached out to open the glass door behind the counter, but stopped her hand at a critical moment¡ª Although the customer in front of her is very beautiful, and she doesn''t look like she has no money in her clothes, but she sells cosmetics, and she must not take out the cosmetics before the other party gives her money! The female teller quickly calculated the account in her heart, and then reported, "A total of twenty-four yuan." A few cosmetics can be worth half a month¡¯s wages of ordinary local workers in Kyoto. This price will definitely discourage many people! But the money is nothing to Lan Shu. But even if Lan Shu has money, she doesn''t plan to pay the money today. She has to pay for things at her own counter. If her father, Lan Weicheng, knows about this, she will only feel that she has a relationship with the family. "Twenty-four, put it in your boss''s account, and say that her daughter asked for it." Lan Shu said, looking up at the female teller with a questioning look in surprise. At this time, Xiao Wang at the watch counter saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the cosmetics counter here from a long distance away, so he locked the cabinet door and hurried over. And he heard Lan Shu''s words as soon as he came, so Xiao Wang immediately explained to the female teller at the cosmetics counter, "Yang Meimei, hurry up and get something, this is our boss'' daughter!" When the female teller Yang Meimei heard this, she realized it! She immediately took out the cosmetics according to the few things Lan Shu asked for just now. "Here are the eye shadow, cream and lipstick you want." Yang Meimei said, at this moment, she almost showed her most perfect smile. She knew that she shouldn''t have said that the customer was ugly in front of the boss''s daughter just now, so at this time her tone was flattering, hoping that the boss''s daughter would not care about her. Lan Shu really doesn''t have the time to argue with the female teller right now. She unwrapped the cosmetics placed on the counter one by one, and then said to the small-eyed girl in front of her¡ª "Miss, I want to help you put on makeup, can you?" Lan Shu''s tone was soothing, it would be hard for anyone to refuse when asked softly by such a gentle and beautiful girl. But the girl with small eyes hesitated. Because she heard the prices of these cosmetics, she was stunned! She feels that once she uses these cosmetics, she must buy them. She...was reluctant to spend so much money. Lan Shu quickly saw the reason for the other party''s hesitation, so she added, "Free makeup, I just want you to see yourself better." Hearing what Lan Shu said, the small-eyed girl was slightly startled, and then she thought for a few seconds before nodding. "Oh well¡­" You can use these cosmetics for free. If there is such an opportunity, no one wants to miss it, right? Seeing that she agreed, Lan Shu stood in front of the counter and began to put on the girl''s makeup. Like what Lan Shu said before, the girl''s eyebrows don''t need to be drawn at all, she just simply smears the girl''s face with cream to moisturize the skin. Then she added some layers with eye shadow, and applied lipstick on the thick lips of the other party. When there is no base makeup and there are several acnes on the other party''s face, the makeup should not be too thick. Just being so light now makes the girl look much more attractive than before! It''s a pity that there are few types of cosmetics in this era, otherwise she could really perform a ''head-changing magic'' for the other party in front of the other party! After putting on her makeup, Lan Shu took a step back and took a look, then said to the female teller, "Take out a black eyebrow pencil." Girls don¡¯t need to draw eyebrows, but using eyebrow pencil as eyeliner can be used temporarily. After applying eyeliner lightly, Lan Shu basically used the existing cosmetics on the counter to complete a simple light makeup. "Is there a mirror?" She turned to look at the female teller. Of course, there is a mirror under the counter. Every morning, the female teller will look in the mirror to put on a beautiful makeup for herself. Now asked by the boss''s daughter, she immediately took out the round mirror with a red plastic frame, Lan Shu took it over, and placed it in front of the girl. In the mirror, the girl sees her current appearance. Her original facial features have not changed, but under the effect of eye shadow and lipstick, she looks much better! Even though the pimples on the face are still there, there is a feeling that the rusticity of the body is gone, and the whole person is ''bright''¡ª "Makeup really makes you look better!" She has never worn makeup before, because she is ugly and has always had low self-esteem. This time, I finally mustered up the courage to change myself, so I came to the cosmetics counter to have a look. Without this young and beautiful girl in front of her, she might never know that she can also look good! So she looked at the few used cosmetics on the counter and said without hesitation, "I want all of these!" At this moment, even if these cosmetics cost more than 20 yuan, she decided to buy them. As long as it looks good, the money is well spent! (end of this chapter) Chapter 179: no regrets Chapter 179 Nothing to regret The female teller Yang Meimei never expected that an ugly girl would directly buy a set of cosmetics! Including the eyebrow pencil, the total was twenty-seven yuan, and the other party settled the bill without hesitation. After selling the goods at her own counter, Lan Shu also considerately provided additional after-sales service, telling the girl to pay attention to facial cleaning and drink plenty of water, so that the pimples on her face will disappear easily. Most people in this era wash their face with clean water. Only people with better conditions can afford to wash their face with soap. Although soap is not a good cleansing thing, it is better to use some than none. Seeing the scarcity of cosmetics and the fact that there are only creams for skin care products, Lan Shu already has the idea of ??doing cosmetics. She knows that if this business is done, the profit will be huge! It''s just whether you want to do it yourself or invest, Lan Shu hasn''t decided yet. Before developing other businesses, Lan Shu has one more thing to do¡ª After seeing off the customer, Lan Shu turned to look at the female teller, and said coldly, "You''ve been fired! I''ll pay your salary later, and you can leave." As she spoke, without waiting for the female teller to argue, she turned her head and said to Xiao Wang who was rushing over from the watch counter, "Please run downstairs and call my dad at the tape recorder counter." When Xiao Wang saw that the boss''s daughter said to fire anyone, he would fire whoever he heard. When Yang Meimei heard what the boss''s daughter said, she was just stunned for a moment, and she was not overly worried. Yang Meimei believes that if an employee is to be dismissed, it must be the boss''s decision. Although she has only worked at the cosmetics counter for less than a month, her sales ability is very strong. She believes that the boss will not dismiss her casually. In Yang Meimei''s view, women should obey men and have no right to speak at all. What kind of family can a boss'' daughter be? Because of her extremely serious idea of ??male superiority and female inferiority in her heart, her attitude towards the couple customers before was better than that of the two companion women. Downstairs, Lan Weicheng saw Xiao Wang running down in a hurry and said, "Boss, your daughter asked me to come and find you..." Hearing this, Lan Weicheng didn''t hesitate a bit, put down the Walkman he was selling, and went upstairs. Along the way, Lan Weicheng had already heard from Xiao Wang that his daughter was going to fire the staff at the cosmetics counter. So a few minutes later, when Lan Weicheng arrived at the cosmetics counter and heard Yang Meimei aggrievedly say that his sister-in-law wanted to fire her, Lan Weicheng immediately said, "Then fire her~!" Lan Weicheng didn''t have any doubts about his daughter''s decision. Even if the female teller was really good at selling, as long as she made his family unhappy, he wouldn''t stay. Yang Meimei couldn''t believe it when she heard what the boss said! "Boss, I was the teller you selected from more than 20 applicants at that time! You also know my sales ability this month, right?!" Of course Lan Weicheng knew, but so what? He can recruit workers at will, some people want this job opportunity, and Lan Weicheng really has no shortage of Yang Meimei. He looked at Yang Meimei and said, "My family''s decision is my decision. You should pack up your things quickly, and I will pay you the salary later." Lan Weicheng has no room to change what he said. Yang Meimei never thought that her boss would listen to her daughter like this! Moreover, Yang Meimei was very angry that she was dismissed without even being given a chance to listen to her explanation, without asking any reason! An angry expression appeared on her originally good-looking face, "Boss, fire me, you will definitely regret it!" Yang Meimei never imagined that an excellent employee like herself with outstanding sales ability would be fired one day! Even if she leaves, she believes that with her own excellent conditions, she won''t have to worry about finding a good job. On the contrary, it is the boss in front of him. If he listens to a woman like this, the business will end sooner or later! "Regret?" Lan Weicheng looked at Yang Meimei, and he shook his head, "Of course I want to fire people who my family dislikes! What is there to regret?" To say the reasons for dismissing employees so bluntly, in the eyes of outsiders, Lan Weicheng is absolutely fatuous! But he didn''t think so. Because in his heart, his family, Shushu, is of course the most important thing, and when there is any conflict with Shushu, he must stand aside! After finishing speaking, Lan Weicheng didn''t write any ink, and immediately settled the salary for Yang Meimei. One month''s salary plus commission, a total of more than 70 yuan. The job at the cosmetics counter is definitely a high salary! It''s a pity that Yang Meimei''s virtue is at a disadvantage, and Lan Shu finds out the problem, so she can only leave¡ª Yang Meimei didn''t look happy when she got the money, because she knew that even if she had excellent conditions, she would not be able to earn such a high salary if she sold goods at other counters. But things have come to this, she has no way to stay, she can only sigh and leave angrily. But before she could take a few steps, Lan Shu stopped her. "Wait a minute! You can leave, but for the cosmetics at our counter, either you pay the regular price and you can take them away, or you can leave them behind." Speaking, Lan Shu glanced at the black leather bag on Yang Meimei''s side. When Yang Meimei joined the company, she got a set of cosmetics. That set of cosmetics cost twenty or thirty yuan, so of course people can''t let people take things away for nothing. When Yang Meimei heard what the boss''s daughter said, she subconsciously grabbed her purse tightly. She knows that cosmetics are not cheap. If she returns them, she will have to spend her own money to buy cosmetics after that. So she is not willing to leave things like this¡ª "I''ve already used cosmetics!" Yang Meimei said. "You can''t continue to sell the things I have used..." While speaking, Yang Meimei looked at Lan Weicheng, hoping that the boss would be more generous and give her cosmetics. It''s a pity that Lan Weicheng is a businessman. Other men may still be a little bit sympathetic, but he only takes his daughter''s side. Facing the suggestion from such a beautiful woman as Yang Meimei, Lan Weicheng acted as if he couldn''t hear or see, and his eyes were always on his own Shushu. Lan Shu nodded secretly when she saw that her father was not a fool. Then she looked at Yang Meimei and said lightly. "The right to use that set of cosmetics is the employee benefit of our counter. From now on, you are no longer an employee of our counter." "It''s none of your business what we do with the cosmetics you''ve used afterwards." Lan Shu looked at Yang Meimei coldly, with a firm attitude. Even though Yang Meimei knew that the cosmetics were a teller¡¯s benefit, she didn¡¯t want to return the cosmetics. "Why can''t you buy the used things at the original price?" After thinking about it, she felt that she needed cosmetics anyway, and she might be able to buy them at a low price. (end of this chapter) Chapter 180: special applicant Chapter 180 Special Candidates It''s a pity that Lan Shu doesn''t care about the depreciation money. She gives Yang Meimei two choices, and the other party can only choose one of the two choices! "Take away the original price, or keep the things." Lan Shu reiterated in a cold tone. Seeing this, Yang Meimei was unwilling, but in the end she had to leave the cosmetics on the counter, then left with a cold snort¡ª She doesn''t believe in the cosmetics she used, can they still be sold? The things she doesn''t want can only be thrown into the hands of the boss''s daughter! And these issues of gains and losses are not something Lan Shu would consider at all. After Yang Meimei left, Lan Shu glanced at the cosmetics on the counter and was about to throw them away. Aside, Lan Weicheng saw what his daughter was thinking. Although Lan Weicheng is not a person short of money, but he is used to doing business, and he will instinctively plan carefully for money. He feels that although these cosmetics have been used, it would be too wasteful to just throw them away. so¡­ "Shu Shu, keep the things, and I will recruit the teller in the future, and they can still be used." When Lan Shu heard this, she also took Lan Weicheng''s thoughts into consideration. She nodded, "Okay." After all, Lan Weicheng is the owner of the cosmetics counter, and her behavior just now has actually surpassed. It was because Lan Weicheng, a father, was kind to his daughter that he allowed himself to dismiss employees casually. Now Lan Shu is giving Lan Weicheng some face. And Lan Shu thought about it, even if she didn''t save it for the next teller, and gave it to customers as a trial sample at the counter in the future, few people would refuse it. After all, in the hearts of most people in this era, only fools will miss things that are free for people to use! At this time, the female teller with a problematic personality was dismissed at the cosmetics counter. Lan Weicheng felt that today the counter could only be ''closed'' ahead of schedule. But Lan Shu didn''t intend to suspend the business at the counter. She has nothing to do today, so she can help the family look after the counter for a day. So she looked at Lan Weicheng and said, "Dad, you can go downstairs first, I''ll watch at the counter today." Speaking, she asked Lan Weicheng about the purchase price and selling price of various cosmetics in the counter, then walked inside the counter and started business. When Lan Weicheng saw that his daughter really planned to look at the counter, he was of course happy to see that her daughter was so devoted to his business! "Okay, Shushu, you stay here first, I''ll contact and find a teller, if there is a suitable one, I''ll send someone over, if you think it''s good, you can stay, if you don''t think it''s good, let the other person go." Lan Weicheng decided that this time he must find a teller who would please his daughter. Lan Shu didn''t know what Lan Weicheng was thinking, but she could still help her father recruit and interview someone. Lan Shu is no stranger to interviewing employees, having interview experience in the previous two factories. She nodded, "Okay, if someone really interviews, then I will help you choose a good teller!" In the past, Lan Shu felt that the teller was good-looking, and it was important to wear beautiful makeup to attract customers, but now, it doesn¡¯t work to have appearances and no character. This time, she will relax the conditions a little bit. Appearance is important, but good morals are the key to the steady growth of the business and long-term development! ¡­ In the afternoon that followed, Lan Shu actually met several people who applied for the job as a counter clerk at the cosmetics counter. Lan Weicheng has a wide circle of people. He just released the news of the recruitment of tellers at the cosmetics counter in the mall, and the tellers at other counters kept contacting their relatives and friends to see if there was any suitable person who could finally get the job. . You know, the salary of being a teller in a shopping mall selling goods is higher than that of working in a factory! A job for a worker in a factory needs all kinds of entrusted relationships, even gifts, and maybe he can get it. Not to mention working as a teller in a big shopping mall? So after interviewing several applicants, Lan Shu met two people with special identities¡ª ¡­ Chen Ping and Zhou Di are students who graduated from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Peking University. They have been in college for three years and have excellent grades. After graduation, college students have much higher employment opportunities than ordinary people, but those who graduated from Agricultural University have very few corresponding jobs. If they enter an ordinary factory and find a job, such a job will be a bit of a psychological gap for them. So half a year after graduation, the two are still unemployed. Zhou Di has a cousin named Zhou Ming who sells leather shoes in Huaxia Shopping Mall. Today he got news that there is a job vacancy for a teller at the cosmetics counter on the third floor. The counter boss has two requirements for the recruited tellers¡ªfemale and good-looking. Zhou Ming knows that the salary at the cosmetics counter is much higher than that of his leather shoes~! Based on the idea that the fat and water would not flow to outsiders, Zhou Ming immediately ran to his relative''s house and told his cousin the job opportunity. He thinks that the cousin meets the requirements of recruiting people at the counter. Although the cousin is not so outstanding in appearance, the cousin is a college student~! Maybe academic qualifications can also be considered an advantage? When Zhou Ming came to inform Zhou Di to apply for the job, it happened that his cousin''s friend was also there, so they told her together. Chen Ping is a bit better than Zhou Di in terms of looks. Zhou Ming didn''t think that his cousin would definitely be able to apply for the job, so adding another Chen Ping to apply for the job is actually a help, giving people more opportunities. Compared to working as a factory worker and selling cosmetics, Chen Ping is still somewhat interested. Let''s not say that everyone has a love for beauty, but the most practical issue is that selling cosmetics in the mall requires relatively high wages. After staying at home for half a year, she doesn''t have too high requirements for her job now. If she can apply for this job, she must thank Zhou Di''s cousin. So the two friends came together to apply for the job. Although there is only one job vacancy, no matter which of them can apply for the job, the other will be happy for the other. ¡­ The third floor of the shopping mall, in front of the cosmetics counter. Lan Shu learned of their identities and immediately changed the direction of their interviews. "Which aspect did you study in school before?" She asked. Opposite, because it was an application opportunity introduced by Zhou Ming, the two agreed before coming that Zhou Di would answer any questions first. So she said, "Our study direction is biochemistry and plant direction." "Do you understand the pharmacology of various plants?" Lan Shu asked again. Hearing this question, Zhou Di and Chen Ping froze for a moment and looked at each other. They didn''t understand that they were applying for a cosmetics teller, but the interviewer asked them nothing about the sales direction of the teller. But if you really ask them if they have any sales experience before, they are relatively blank in this regard. So after hearing the interviewer''s question, Chen Ping and Zhou Di rationalized their thinking and answered one after the other. "I don''t know much about plant pharmacology. It can be said that it is relatively basic, but my grades in phytochemistry are not bad." Zhou Di replied. Chen Ping''s statement is slightly different. "I know a little about plant pharmacology, but I can''t compare with people in this professional discipline." (end of this chapter) Chapter 181: The most suitable teller Chapter 181 The most suitable teller In fact, whether you understand it or not is not particularly important. Because Lan Shu knows more or less about the ingredients of various plant-extracted cosmetics. For example, aloe vera for whitening and lightening spots, red pomegranate for anti-oxidation, rose nourishment, seaweed for moisturizing, salicylic acid for oil control, etc. She has a general direction, and what is needed next is for professionals to extract ingredients, neutralize ingredients, and develop skin care products from these things. As for cosmetics it''s even easier¡ª It is not difficult to make new makeup products by integrating the existing raw materials for making makeup and upgrading the process. As for liquid foundation and powder, although Lan Shu doesn''t know the specific ingredients, she knows the effect of the final product. Thinking about the process based on the results is much simpler than research and development out of nothing. It''s like the assembly line machine that Linjiang Machinery Factory manufactures paper roll machines and small wrappers. Only with her detailed ''concept'' of the machine can the machine be manufactured faster. Compared with complex machine manufacturing, cosmetics have a much simpler process. So after she interviewed Zhou Di and Chen Ping, Lan Shu admitted both of them without hesitation when she was sure that their professional abilities passed the test! However, their jobs are not selling cosmetics, but R&D technicians of cosmetics. Before, Lan Shu was still considering if she wanted to make cosmetics, should she invest in it or do it herself? Now she has a result in her mind¡ª Such two professionals who came to the door for nothing, if she didn''t do it herself, she would be too sorry for this opportunity~! Opposite, Zhou Di and Chen Ping did not expect that both of them could find jobs. Knowing that the beautiful girl interviewing them in front of them is their future boss, both of them were surprised! What shocked them even more was that after the boss found out about their academic status, he decided to open a cosmetics factory in the future and let the two of them work as R&D technicians! The behavior of the boss gave them an illusion. ¡ªIs it so easy to open a factory? Open it as soon as you say it? Zhou Di''s research and development of cosmetics is basically a black eye. Chen Ping has some ideas. However, those ideas are not yet mature enough, and they need continuous experiments to get results. But the boss said that the boss himself has developed concepts for various cosmetics. So Zhou Di and Chen Ping discussed it, and finally decided to stay and give it a try. At least the research and development of cosmetics can use some of the professional biochemical knowledge they have learned. When the salaries of the two jobs are very good, they are more willing to be a cosmetic R&D technician than to sell goods at the cosmetics counter! After discussing the scope of work with the two of them, after the two decided to stay and work, Lan Shu also took action immediately. She opened the factory very directly, just two words, give money! Before she has a complete cosmetic formula, she is going to start with a small cosmetic experiment studio. She gave Chen Ping and Zhou Di the venue, R&D equipment, and raw materials to buy by themselves. Let the two go to understand the situation and reimburse her for the amount of money needed, and then she will pay the bill. After listening to the boss''s arrangement, Chen Ping and Zhou Di had no objection to it. Instead, they felt that the boss gave them a great sense of trust and freedom, which moved them very much. Before leaving from the counter, Lan Shu gave the two of them five hundred yuan as start-up capital for the establishment of the cosmetics laboratory. After getting the money, Zhou Di and Chen Ping suddenly had a bottom line! With the support of money, the two of them are full of enthusiasm for the cosmetics laboratory! After Zhou Di and Chen Ping left, Lan Shu continued to recruit cosmetics tellers. Compared with cosmetics R&D personnel who are rare technical talents, it is much easier to recruit tellers. Lan Weicheng has a wide network of contacts, and the teller at the cosmetics counter is indeed a good job, so after many applicants accepted Lan Shu''s interviews one by one, Lan Shu finally settled on a 26-year-old, dignified and generous, married, There is a single mother who works as a teller. ¡­ Yanjuan is from a village around Kyoto. She married into the city at the age of nineteen. She has a gentle personality, is kind to others, and has a good relationship with her husband, but she has no choice but to share an evil mother-in-law, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious. Yanjuan has been married for five years and endured for five years. At the beginning, her husband comforted her in various ways and stood in front of her when things went wrong. Gradually, after she gave birth to her daughter, she did not get pregnant again for several years and was unable to add a child to the family, so her husband''s attitude towards her gradually changed. The mother-in-law was embarrassed and the husband was indifferent. Yanjuan finally couldn''t bear this kind of life, so she filed for divorce. After the divorce, she took her four-year-old daughter to leave the house and rented a room in the city. She usually earns money by doing odd jobs and lives with her daughter. Now Yanjuan''s daughter is six years old and will be able to go to elementary school in the second half of the year. Lan Shu learned about Yanjuan''s situation during the interview, and she could see her love for her daughter from the gentle tone in Yanjuan''s voice when she talked about her daughter. Lan Shu knows that Yanjuan will definitely work harder in order to create better living conditions for her daughter in the future. So Lan Shu chose Yanjuan not because her experience made people sympathetic. But Lan Shu knew that such a woman would have a stronger desire to make money than ordinary people! Therefore, she will work harder to do a good job and strive to get more sales commissions. There is a commission for selling goods at the cosmetics counter. Although the commission rate is low, if the performance is good, the salary you get will be considerable. Such a job is quite suitable for a woman like Yanjuan who is motivated and willing to fight for the future of herself and her children. ¡­ Before get off work at night, when Lan Weicheng came to the counter to pick up his daughter, he learned that not only the teller had found her, but she even wanted to open another factory. Lan Weicheng: ¡­ His daughter is too good, right? The last time I came to Kyoto, I invested in a Walkman processing factory. This time I have only been here for a few days, and I have to open a cosmetics factory. Considering how often his family Shushu opened a factory this month, Lan Weicheng felt that their family must be a big factory owner in the future! His family''s ancestors really built up their virtues to burn incense, so that there are descendants like Shushu! In addition to knowing that his daughter is going to open a new factory, Lan Weicheng is also very satisfied with the newly recruited tellers at the cosmetics counter. Perhaps because Yanjuan found a good job, she looks much more energetic than before. She put on makeup, which swept away the fatigue of her identity as a mother and the fatigue on her face, giving her original dignified features a little more temperament. Such a female teller is not inferior to the previous Yang Meimei. Even Yanjuan has an inexplicable affinity. It is really suitable for her to do sales! "Come to work tomorrow." Lan Weicheng said to Yanjuan. So after passing Lan Shu''s interview, Yanjuan got Lan Weicheng''s affirmation again. Her job as a cosmetic counter teller is completely settled! (end of this chapter) Chapter 182: advertise Chapter 182 Advertising The next morning, Lan Shu didn''t go to the mall again, but sat on the back seat of Lan Weicheng''s bicycle when she went out in the morning, and walked along the road to the vicinity of the TV station. Now the working environment of the entire TV station is only within the scope of two small double-story buildings. Lan Shu stood outside the gate of the TV station, patiently waiting for the news. She had already inquired in advance, today is the weekly meeting time of the TV station leaders. She wants to advertise on TV, whether the proposal can be passed depends on today. In Lan Shu''s impression, advertisements started to appear in the 1980s, but the appearance of advertisements seems to have started in the middle and late 1980s, and it is only 1981 now. So Lan Shu has no idea whether the advertisement proposal will be passed or not. Waiting until after ten o''clock, Lan Shu finally saw people going out one after another in an office on the left side of the second floor upstairs in the courtyard. Soon, she was behind the crowd, and saw the internal employee of the TV station who was in charge of communicating with her when she came to the TV station before. The other party looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old. Lan Shu remembered that his name was Cui Nian. It was Cui Nian who told her that he would mention the advertisement to the leader at the regular meeting on Friday. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Cui Nian immediately went downstairs to the gate of the unit. He beckoned to Lan Shu, the smile on his face made Lan Shu put down her previous worries in an instant! "It seems that the business of advertising on TV is over?" Lan Shu walked up to Cui Nian and asked. Cui Nian nodded, "It''s done, but the specific situation, our leader wants to see you, so we can talk about it face to face." Lan Shu has no objection to this, "Then I will trouble you to lead the way." Cui Nian nodded, talked to the guard at the gate, and then led Lan Shu into the TV station. ¡­ A few minutes later, in the reception room on the first floor of the two-storey building facing the gate of the TV station, Lan Shu saw the TV station leader who was going to meet her today. Contrary to what she expected, this leader is a female leader in her thirties, with short hair, regular facial features, a sharp jaw line, and looks a bit serious. Aside, Cui Nian immediately introduced, "Comrade Lan Shu, this is the deputy director of our TV station¡ªDeputy Director Zhu." After finishing speaking, he turned to introduce to the female leader, "Deputy Director, this is the person in charge of the toilet paper manufacturer I mentioned to you who wants to advertise on our TV station, Comrade Lan Shu." Seeing that the person in charge of the manufacturer is such a young girl, Zhu Hong was a little surprised. "Are you the director of the factory that produces Yunrou sanitary napkins and Yunrou roll toilet paper?" Zhu Hong asked. Lan Shu nodded, with a standard smile on her face, "Yes." While answering, she confirmed in her heart that it seems that the female leader of the TV station is quite familiar with the products in her factory. Although Yunrou sanitary napkins and Yunrou toilet rolls have generally become products purchased by the public in Kyoto, most people who use these products only know this product and the packaging of the familiar product. Consumers who really remember the names of these products are not high in the proportion of people who use the products. On the opposite side, Zhu Hong''s originally serious expression softened for a moment when he heard that the little girl was the director of Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory. The way she looked at Lan Shu changed from doubting to admiring. "Since you are the director of the factory and have the decision-making power in the factory, then I will say something directly." Zhu Hong said. Lan Shu nodded, with an attitude of listening attentively. Seeing this, Zhu Hong continued, "The roll toilet paper in your factory is really good to use. It is much more convenient than the previous toilet paper. If you want to make publicity, you can advertise on TV, but sanitary napkins are special. That thing can''t be done. advertise." Lan Shu nodded upon hearing this. She had thought about these situations a long time ago and was mentally prepared. But obviously, the deputy director of the TV station in front of him is still worried about him, so he specially asked himself to come and warn him face to face. Regarding this, Lan Shu immediately expressed her position¡ª "Don''t worry, our advertisement this time is only promoting roll toilet paper, and we will never mention sanitary napkins." "At most, at the end of the advertisement, when the roll toilet paper is promoted, the outer packaging of the sanitary napkin appears next to the roll toilet paper." "It''s just the outer packaging?" Zhu Hong frowned slightly, worried that the little girl would be obedient and contradictory, and what she said now would not match what she would do later. So she has to confirm what is in the advertisement in advance before deciding whether to let the little girl advertise on TV. When Lan Shu was asked, she nodded seriously. "It''s just the outer packaging." She said with certainty. As she spoke, she added, "There will be no mention of sanitary napkins in the advertisement." Seeing what Lan Shu said, Deputy Director Zhu Hong said, "Yes." Then determine the next link with Lan Shu. After more than half an hour, finally, after a discussion between the two of them, the ad for the toilet paper was set within ten seconds of the ad, and the fee per second was ten yuan. That is to say, a ten-second advertisement costs one hundred yuan every day! This advertising fee is frighteningly high in the eyes of outsiders! But it was within Lan Shu''s acceptance range. She plans to broadcast the advertisement every half hour at noon and evening. At the end of the day, play it about eight times. And their advertisements don¡¯t need ten seconds, five or six seconds is enough to repeat a few words of the advertisement. Calculated in this way, the daily advertising fee can be controlled within 500. From the initial brainwashing advertisement broadcast, to gradually reducing the frequency, and finally maintaining two to four advertisements a day, the daily advertising fee is only one to two hundred yuan, which the factory can fully afford. So Lan Shu said on the spot that she would try the advertisement for three days first. After determining the number of times and time period for advertising, the next step is the issue of advertising shooting. Knowing that Yunrou toilet paper factory has not found anyone to shoot commercials, Cui Nian immediately recommended himself, "Our TV station has a video department. If you are looking for someone to shoot commercials, we can take the job." If the TV station can take over the commercial shooting, it can be regarded as generating income for the TV station. "Okay, then I will trouble you next." Lan Shu naturally agreed with Cui Nian''s proposal. Anyway, she finds everyone to shoot commercials, and letting people from the TV station do it can be regarded as taking the opportunity of shooting commercials to build a good relationship with the TV station. Seeing that the communication between the two parties is so smooth, and the commercials are filmed on the stage, there is no need to worry about violations in the advertisements. The little girl cooperated so well, which made Zhu Hong have a good impression of the little girl. Zhu Hong nodded in satisfaction. She looked at Cui Nian at the side, and explained, "After that, you will communicate with the toilet paper factory about the advertisement. I will take a look at the advertisement when it comes out." With her words, the advertising matter is completely settled! (end of this chapter) Chapter 183: child Chapter 183 Children Cui Nian was suddenly handed over to work by the leader, and he immediately replied, "Don''t worry, Deputy Director!" For Cui Nian, this is not just a job, but also an opportunity for him to perform well¡ª After this advertisement was completed, he was also the first person in Taiwan to communicate with foreign advertisements. Besides, the deputy director Zhu Hong nodded to Cui Nian, then as if remembering something, she turned to look at Lan Shu, and added something. "By the way, you are from another place, right? Since you have already done business with our TV station, you can stay in the guest house next to our TV station recently, and the accommodation expenses will be reimbursed by our TV station." Zhu Hong has a good impression of the little girl, so she takes care of the little girl if she can. If it were someone else, she might not necessarily give this preferential treatment. Lan Shu appreciated Deputy Director Zhu''s kindness. "Thank you, Deputy Director, I don''t have to worry about where to live. Although I''m from another place, I''m still half a native of Kyoto, and my parents are both in Kyoto." Lan Shu replied with a smile. Zhu Hong didn''t expect that the little girl from other places would also have a home here. She nodded and stopped talking about the accommodation. "Then after the ad is shot and before it goes on TV, let''s do one last match." "Okay." Lan Shu replied with a polite smile. ¡­ For the next two days, even though it was the weekend, Lan Shu was not idle. She and Cui Nian agreed on the commercial shooting time, and then began to prepare for the pre-shooting. Although the advertisement for toilet rolls is only a few seconds long, and there is no need for a plot, just shout slogans, but how to shout slogans is also a problem. After thinking about it, Lan Shu decided that several actors are still needed in the advertisement. A family of men, women, young and old, everyone shouted slogans with Yunrou rolls of toilet paper, and finally the family shouted slogans collectively, so that the advertisement in a few seconds was almost enough. Advertising pictures with people in the camera are more attractive than dry rolls of toilet paper. Moreover, Lan Shu is also planning to let their clothes from Yunshu Garment Factory be in the shot when they are filming commercials. Although it is an advertisement for the toilet paper factory, it can also let the audience see the new clothes of the clothing factory by the way, killing two birds with one stone. However, there are only men¡¯s and women¡¯s clothes in the factory, and the children¡¯s clothes are sent out by the factory, but the time is running out, so we need to find another one. Costumes and shoots are there, the next thing is to find the right actors. Lan Shu already knew where to find actors. She went to Beijing Film and Television University, and selected four actors among the teachers and students of the school to play the roles of an older couple and a young couple. Further down, she plans to find two children, both boys and girls. This is a lively family. Adult actors are easy to find, but children are more difficult. The child Lan Shu is looking for is the kind of child who is fat, round and cute, photogenic and pleasing, making people want to take a few more glances. In the 1980s, although there were many children, there were not many white and fat ones. Lan Shu wandered the streets and alleys all afternoon, but couldn''t find a child who met her standards. ¡­ When Lan Shu was looking for actors everywhere for the upcoming commercial. On Saturday, Xiao Bai had a holiday, so he left school immediately and went to see Lan Shu. But when he arrived at Lan''s house, he was told by Xu Shan, who was off work on weekends, that his daughter had something to go out early in the morning. Xiaobai didn''t see anyone. He heard from Xu Shan that Lan Shu would follow Lan Weicheng to the counter of Huaxia Mall two days ago. So he ran to the mall again, but still saw no one. Originally, Xiao Bai was in a high mood, thinking that the weekend was a holiday, and he finally had time to spend more time with Lan Shu, but who knew that he had been waiting for a whole day, but the person he wanted to see was nowhere to be seen¡ª Xiaobai even wondered, did Lanshu hide from him on purpose? Because of my confession at school last time, she was upset? At this moment, Xiaobai became worried about gains and losses... It wasn''t until it was almost dark at night that he saw Lan Shu who was returning home after a busy day outside the courtyard where Lan''s family lived. It was also at this time that Xiaobai realized that he had stood at the gate of the courtyard all afternoon without knowing it... ¡­ In the evening, the sun went down, and the sunset glow in the sky was about to disappear. The sky was getting dark, but Lan Shu still saw Xiao Bai who was guarding the gate of the compound at a glance, his face was darker than the sky¡ª "Why are you waiting here? How long have you been waiting?" Lan Shu said, walking quickly towards Xiao Bai. Today Xiaobai is wearing a black sweater, trousers of the same color, and a light brown thin trench coat. Lan Shu can tell at a glance that this suit was bought for him before. Although it''s already April and the weather isn''t that cold, it''s still a bit cold at night. She doesn''t know how long Xiaobai has been waiting here. Xiao Bai looked at the concerned look on Lan Shu''s face for him. His worries, panic, and uncertainties all day today disappeared in an instant! He didn''t answer how long Lan Shu had been waiting, but raised his lips and smiled, "Lan Shu, I''m hungry." He was so preoccupied all day that he even forgot to eat, and now he felt uncomfortable with stomach cramps. But because he saw that Lan Shu didn''t hide from him, but still cared about him, he was in a good mood, so he didn''t feel so uncomfortable physically. "Hungry? Then go to my house for dinner." Lan Shu said, and took Xiao Bai to the courtyard. Besides, Xiaobai silently observed Lan Shu''s reaction, seeing that she didn''t seem to be pretending to be normal at all, but her face was a little tired, so Xiaobai asked tentatively. "Lanshu, have you been busy all day?" "Yes." Lan Shu nodded without hiding anything. "The toilet paper factory is going to shoot a TV commercial, and now we have almost enough actors to find, but we are missing a pair of cute children." She sighed as she spoke. It is obviously the weekend, but there are not many children on the street today, and I don¡¯t know where the children are running? When Xiaobai heard Lan Shu''s embarrassment, he hardly hesitated, and immediately helped Lan Shu find a solution. "How old are you looking for? Boys and girls?" he asked. "Two children, a boy and a girl, between the ages of three and eight." Lan Shu already knew the young actor she was looking for. After listening to Lan Shu''s request, Xiaobai thought about it seriously, "My grandfather''s driver has a child who should be six or seven years old this year. I met him once. Although he is not very cute, he is very obedient and not naughty at all." Upon hearing this, Lan Shu guessed that it should be Driver Feng''s child. She has an impression of Driver Feng. Driver Feng is good-looking, and he is also the driver of Xiaobai''s grandfather. The salary should be good. Maybe such a family can raise white and fat children? "Also, we can go to the zoo tomorrow. Usually, when weekends are off, many people will go to the zoo to play. It is not uncommon for adults to take their children to see animals." Xiao Bai said. Lan Shu heard, "That''s right! Let''s go to the zoo!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 184: Good Relationship Chapter 184 Good relationship Lan Shu inquired during the day that there is no playground in Kyoto, so she ignored that the zoo is also a good place for children to go on weekends! "That''s the decision!" Lan Shu suddenly felt relieved. Besides, Xiaobai was also very happy. Because he can stay with Lan Shu for a long time tomorrow. Lan Shu didn''t know what Xiao Bai was thinking, nor did she pay attention to Xiao Bai''s face, because the road to the compound was not long, and soon, the two of them came to the gate of Lan''s house. In the evening, Xiaobai had dinner at Lan''s house. Different from usual, at the dinner table tonight, Lan Xinya didn''t put on a face, nor did she go upstairs after taking a casual bite. Seeing Gu Jue coming to the house, Lan Xinya has a lot of things in her heart that she wants to ask Gu Jue¡ª For example, what is his brother Gu Cheng doing recently? Are you in Kyoto? When are you coming back? And the attitude of the two elders of the Gu family towards Gu Cheng? In Lan Xinya''s heart, Gu Cheng is not only the successful business upstart, but also the son of the Gu family! Even if Gu Cheng is not Wei Qiushuang''s own, as long as Gu Cheng has a relationship with the Wei family, Gu Cheng can be regarded as a young talent with a strong background and a high status in the capital. Xiaobai really didn''t know how to answer Lan Xinya''s questions. It is true that he and Gu Cheng are related by blood. But the relationship between the two brothers is really not very good. What''s more, in the memory that Xiaobai retrieved from the dream, Gu Cheng didn''t have any good intentions towards his younger brother~! There is discord among their brothers, how would Xiaobai know where Gu Cheng is now? So facing Lan Xinya''s question, he answered seriously, "I don''t know either." These words are Xiaobai''s sincere words, but at this moment, Lan Xinya doesn''t believe it at all! She has reason to suspect that Gu Jue''s answer now is to help Gu Cheng cover up his whereabouts! "The two of you are half-brothers, why don''t you know where he is? He is your brother!" Facing Lan Xinya''s unceremonious questioning, Xiaobai frowned slightly. He was about to say something, but he heard Lan Shu beside him speak up, defending him¡ª "It''s just an older brother. Does a younger brother have to know his brother''s whereabouts?" Lan Shu said, looking at Lan Xinya with a little regret. Not only because Lan Xinya is determined not to give up on a scumbag, but also because Lan Xinya is also a heroine after all, and she has lost her mind because of love. Lan Shu put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Lan Xinya seriously, and continued. "Gu Cheng is an adult, he has hands and feet, and he is so old, and he doesn''t have the ability to think independently. Does his family have to pay attention to his every move?" Lan Shu asked Lan Xinya back, but Lan Xinya had nothing to say when she asked this question. Originally, Lan Xinya wanted to get some news about Gu Cheng from Gu Jue, but now because of Lan Shu''s words, she was too embarrassed to ask again. The final result was that Lan Xinya didn''t care to eat as usual, and got up and went upstairs. If Xiaobai wasn''t in Lan''s house, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan would still try to persuade Lan Xinya to let her eat more. But there are outsiders in the house at the moment, it doesn''t matter if Xinya goes upstairs, at least they won''t let others continue to watch the joke. "Eat, eat, let''s continue to eat." Lan Weicheng said, telling the young master of the Gu family to eat well and eat as much as possible. And Xu Shan glanced at Gu Jue, and then at her own daughter. Suddenly, a thought that shouldn''t have arisen in Xu Shan''s heart¡ª¡ª Mrs. Wei''s youngest son has such a good relationship with their family, but the relationship between the two is only because of the grace of saving lives? Or is it mixed with other things? Xu Shan noticed that the way Gu Jue looked at her family, the feeling of being cautious and silently watching, reminded her of the way her husband looked at her when she was young and had a crush on her. Gu Jue probably has more thoughts about her daughter than friendship, right? Such a thought made Xu Shan startle herself! Although the youngest son of Mrs. Wei''s family looks good and has a good family background, he is a little too young. No matter what Xu Shan thinks about it, she feels that Gu Jue''s age is not right for her own daughter. Other than that, she couldn''t find anything wrong with it. At this moment, Xu Shan even ignored the fact that her daughter was married. In the eyes of a mother, her daughter is of course the best~! Even if there are some flaws on the body, they are blocked by the "mother filter"¡ª Only Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were happy for this meal. One can''t wait to go to the zoo tomorrow to find cute children. The other was hungry all day, and finally had enough to eat, and he ate at Lan''s house. Thinking of going to the zoo with Lan Shu tomorrow, Xiao Bai is naturally very happy. After dinner, Xiao Bai didn''t stay at Lan''s house for long, and Lan Shu sent him out. Before leaving, Xiaobai did not forget to make an appointment with Lanshu to meet tomorrow morning. On the second floor of Lan''s house, Lan Xinya stood in front of the window and watched the warm and harmonious relationship between Lan Shu and Gu Jue downstairs, and she even felt a little envious in her heart. Now she has worked hard and is quite independent, but Lan Xinya found that such a self did not re-enter Gu Cheng''s eyes, but was getting farther and farther away from Gu Cheng... Even now, she doesn¡¯t even know Gu Cheng¡¯s whereabouts¡ª Is the relationship between me and Gu Cheng completely over like this? I don''t know if it''s an illusion, but Lan Xinya always has an idea that she shouldn''t be like this. The relationship between myself and Gu Cheng shouldn''t end! But this is just her idea, and it cannot reverse Gu Cheng''s decision. ¡­ At this time, Gu Cheng, whom Lan Xinya missed so much, was on the train from Haicheng back to Kyoto. Ever since he and Lan Shu, who came to Kyoto for a short stay, missed the time last time, Gu Cheng specially asked someone to keep an eye on the Lan family''s movements. If Lan Shu returns to Kyoto, he must be notified as soon as possible! So upon receiving the news, Gu Cheng immediately dealt with the matter in Haicheng, and rushed back by train. Even if he knew that he would come back and appear in front of Lan Shu, Lan Shu might not give him a good look. But any relationship comes from getting along with each other, he will not stalk, and will only let Lan Shu see his actions and his sincerity. It''s a pity that what Gu Cheng thinks is sincere, but in Lan Shu''s eyes, it''s disgusting¡ª ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Shu was woken up by the sound of the car downstairs. She got up and opened the window to look out, just in time to see Xiao Bai in light gray sportswear coming down from a black car outside the gate downstairs of her house. Walking out of the car with Xiao Bai, there is also a strong and strong little boy who looks like a tiger. Seeing this, Lan Shu changed her clothes as quickly as possible, finished washing, and then went downstairs. When she was standing upstairs, she couldn''t see the little boy''s appearance clearly. After she came down, she saw the boy who was welcomed into the room by Xu Shan together with Xiaobai. The little boy is not tall, about 1.2 meters tall, with a pair of big round eyes. He looks like he should eat well in the dick, he is strong and fat, very pleasing. (end of this chapter) Chapter 185: Feng Xingxing children Chapter 185 Feng Xingxing kid "Is this the child of Driver Feng''s family?" Lan Shu asked. Xiaobai nodded. "Yes." He replied. "This child is Feng Xingxing, the youngest son of Driver Feng''s family, and he is six and a half years old this year." Xiao Bai said. Hearing his name was mentioned, the little boy looked up at Lan Shu, and called obediently, "Hello, sister." The pronunciation of this sentence was standard and clear, and Lan Shu nodded repeatedly when she heard it. "This child is fine, then we only need to find another little girl, and the commercial can be shot!" Seeing Lan Shu''s happy look, Xiao Bai also raised his lips and smiled, then nodded. "Then let''s go now." He said. Xu Shan on the side heard that the youngest son of the Gu family was about to take her daughter out. As a mother, she felt sorry for her daughter''s hunger, so she couldn''t help reminding, "Let''s go after eating." But it was Xiaobai who answered Xu Shan politely and said with a smile, "Aunt Xu, I''ve already bought food, which is Lan Shu''s favorite food, including meat buns and bean curd, I use an insulated box to warm them, the temperature at the moment Should be just right." The family has been so considerate and meticulous, and has prepared everything, so Xu Shan naturally has no reason to keep her daughter at home for dinner. She had no choice but to nod, "Then you go and come back early, and I will make delicious food for you at noon." Ever since Xu Shan felt that there might be something wrong with the way the youngest son of the Gu family looked at her daughter, she paid special attention to avoiding the two of them being alone together for too long. Alas~ I am also a mother today, so I am worried about my daughter''s day... ¡­ A few minutes later, Lan Shu was sitting in the car, eating meat buns and drinking bean curd. Xiao Bai knows Lan Shu''s appetite, and she can eat a big meat bun in the morning. But worried that Lan Shu would not have enough to eat, Xiao Bai still prepared an extra bun for her. Waiting for Lan Shu to eat and drink enough, she took a section of toilet paper from Xiao Bai. After wiping her mouth, she noticed that Xiao Bai was obediently holding the lunch box when she was eating. Now that he finished eating by himself, it was time for him to hand over a piece of paper. In the past, Lan Shu would only think that Xiao Bai is too caring~! But now, thinking of last week at Peking University School of Medicine, Xiaobai told himself that if he wanted to be the son-in-law of the Lan family... Lan Shu suddenly felt a little pressure in her heart¡ª¡ª Xiaobai must be serious, right? With his modest and courteous attitude in front of him, if he is an upside-down son-in-law, he is really qualified~ Fortunately, it is faster to go out by car. After a while, driver Feng drove the car to the gate of the Kyoto Zoo. The car stopped, and Lan Shu immediately got out of the car to breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time relieve her inner embarrassment. Behind her, Xiaobai followed closely beside her. Driver Feng did not follow, but waited in the car. After Lan Shu calmed down, she turned around and asked Driver Feng''s youngest son, "Would you like to go to the zoo with us for a while?" Children love to play by nature, they come here all the time, and it¡¯s hard to justify not taking them around for a while. Feng Xingxing heard that he could follow, of course he would! But before answering, he glanced at his dad first. After getting the nod of agreement from Driver Feng, Feng Xingxing said happily, "I''m going!" Xiaobai has no objection to the fact that there are many children in the relationship between himself and Lanshu today. He knew that Feng Xingxing, the youngest son of Driver Feng, was very obedient, so it wouldn''t be too troublesome to take him with him. So the two big ones and one small one spent a total of two yuan and fifty cents to buy tickets to the zoo. Soon, the three of them lined up and walked into the zoo¡ª Although the current Kyoto Zoo is not as big as later generations, and there are not so many animal species, but in this era, it is really good~! Especially in the past two years, giant pandas were successfully bred under human intervention. Now there are more than a dozen pandas, large and small, in the zoo. Many tourists who come to the zoo come to see pandas. Even though Lan Shu''s purpose of coming here is not to play, but after arriving at the panda house, she couldn''t help but keep her eyes on the national treasure for a long time. Besides, only Xiaobai led Feng Xingxing to help Lanshu find a cute little girl who is suitable for advertising in the crowd. Feng Xingxing is not very interested in watching animals. He heard that he will be able to shoot commercials on TV in a few days, and there will be pocket money for him. Feng Xingxing is very happy. Although he is young, he also knows that they came to the zoo today to find a little sister who will be his partner in commercials. This made Feng Xingxing quite motivated! His small stature does not affect his search for cute little girls. Soon, Feng Xingxing pulled the hand of brother Gu Jue beside him, and said, "Brother, look, that little sister''s face is red, like a red apple~" Xiaobai heard the voice, looked in the direction of Feng Xingxing''s finger, and saw a little girl about four or five years old wearing a yellow sweater not far away. The little girl is wearing a shofar braid, and is accompanied by her parents. She was hugged by her father and sat on the shoulders. When she saw the little panda in the garden climb up the giant panda¡¯s back and then fell down, she smiled happily ¡®haha~¡¯. The little girl smiled with bright eyes and two dimples on her face. Xiaobai thinks that such a little girl should be the kind of girl Lan Shu is looking for, right? When Xiaobai saw the little girl, Lan Shu also looked over there because of Feng Xingxing''s words¡ª The same scene fell in Lan Shu''s eyes. Seeing such a cute child, it was like a series of "tricking you into having a daughter"! So she immediately made a decision in her heart, "It''s her!" After speaking, Lan Shu immediately stepped forward to chat with the little girl''s parents, and then the two sides communicated. When they learned that the two young people in front of them wanted to invite their children to shoot commercials, they were both very surprised~! Their own children can be on TV. They are naturally happy as parents when such a good thing happens. It''s just that whether they want to go or not depends on whether their daughter agrees or not? Regarding this, Lan Shu didn''t even need to ask or invite her. Feng Xingxing on the side relied on that he was a child and was easy to talk to his peers. With just a few words, he got the little girl to agree to shoot commercials with the little brother in front of him. Seeing how powerful Feng Xingxing is, Lan Shu gave Feng Xingxing a big thumbs up in her heart! She decided to add an extra chicken leg to the little guy when it came time to shoot commercials~! After the little girl agreed, it was easy for her parents to talk about it. Regarding the commercial shooting, the two agreed. So Lan Shu''s goal of going to the zoo today was achieved directly in a short time! After finding the young actor for the commercial, Lan Shu left a phone call with the child''s parents and made an appointment to take the child to the mall to buy clothes in the afternoon. She pays for the clothes. In addition to the photogenic fee for the commercial, the clothes will also be given to the little girl after the commercial is finished. (end of this chapter) Chapter 186: Ready Chapter 186 is ready At noon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to Lan''s house by car. Originally, Lan Shu planned to eat something casually on the street, but Xiao Bai said, "Since I promised Aunt Xu to go back to eat at noon, I must do it." Seeing Xiaobai''s serious expression, Lan Shu could only nod her head in agreement. Even though there was a clothing store not far from the gate of the zoo, the two of them ran all the way from the zoo back to Lan''s house for lunch, and they would run back again in the afternoon. Xu Shan made steamed noodles for lunch. The freshly pressed noodles were steamed in a pan, and the long beans picked that day were cut into sections for later use. Put oil in a hot pan, put **** slices, and fry the pork belly until it is half-ripe, then add beans and stir fry for a while. After that, add salt and soy sauce, pour boiling water, and cover the pot, so that the vegetables in the pot can fully absorb the salty taste of salt and the umami taste of soy sauce, and at the same time, the aroma of pork belly and beans are also integrated into the soup. Finally, mix the steamed noodles evenly into the dish, wait for the noodles to absorb enough vegetable soup, and steam for another two minutes to collect the juice. Lan Shu has not eaten such an authentic home version of steamed noodles for a long time. Xiaobai has eaten braised noodles made in restaurants, which is similar to this one, but the taste is still a little different. Eating the meal cooked by Aunt Xu Shan, Xiaobai thought of the meal at home again... My parents'' skills are really not very good. If possible, can he come to Lan''s house more often on weekends in the future? Xiao Bai''s idea is good, but when Lan Shu is not at home, how can he come here often? unless¡­ He really became the back-door son-in-law of the Lan family! In order to achieve this goal, Xiaobai feels that he has to work harder to express himself in front of Lanshu in the future! ¡­ In the afternoon, according to the agreed time, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were waiting for the little girl Ning Ning and her parents near the clothing store. Before the two went, they did not forget to bring Driver Feng''s youngest son, Feng Xingxing, with them. After meeting, the group went straight to the children''s clothing section of the mall to buy clothes for the two children. Nowadays, more than 80% of the clothing market in shopping malls is occupied by women''s clothing, and the rest is men''s clothing and children''s clothing. Compared with single-style men''s clothing, children''s clothing has few styles, and the workmanship of the clothes is relatively simple. When most parents buy children''s clothing, they think that their children grow fast when they are young, and they don''t need fancy clothes, just cheap ones that can be worn. This is why the women''s wear market has risen, but the children''s wear and men''s wear have not improved. Children''s clothing is rare because most parents are reluctant to spend money. Men''s clothing has not improved because most men don''t care much about their clothes. They can wear one style for ten years, unlike women''s clothing, which has a variety of styles. There are only four or five stores in the entire area selling children''s clothing. The clothes in the stores are similar and nothing new. Lan Shu picks and chooses, and buys a set of red sweater and black trousers for each of the two children. When the time comes to shoot an advertisement, such a simple dress will do. In addition to sweaters and trousers, Lan Shu also bought a coat for each of them. The coat is not needed for commercials, but Lan Shu''s own care for the children. The two coats are the same style, but different colors, one red and one green. At first, Lan Shu wanted to buy a blue coat for Feng Xingxing''s child, but this time the army green is more popular. Feng Xingxing likes this color very much, so Lan Shu does as he likes. After shopping for clothes, Lan Shu made an appointment with the parents of the little girl Ning Ning to shoot commercials on the TV station on Tuesday. After getting confirmation from the two that they had time that day, she and Xiaobai waved goodbye to Ningning''s parents. The actors are in place, and the costumes and shooting products will be delivered by someone tomorrow. The preparations for the commercial shooting are ready, and Lan Shu is relieved¡ª "It''s really not easy to do anything~!" She said, feeling touched. In this era, human resources, which seem to be the least valuable, are in Lan Shu''s eyes an indispensable and precious asset. The reason why her factory can reach its current scale and become stronger in the future is because of the value created by the hard work of many people. It seems that Lan Shu opened the factory and gave many people the opportunity to work, but in fact it was those people who made her who she is now. She understands all this, so she will treat those employees who have achieved themselves well¡ª Xiao Bai didn''t know what Lan Shu was thinking at the moment, but he could tell that Lan Shu was tired. "I''ll take you back to rest." Xiaobai said, calling Feng Xingxing to follow, while pulling Lanshu''s wrist, and walking towards the direction where Feng''s driver stopped. Although he wanted to hold hands directly, but...he was worried that Lan Shu would refuse. And Lan Shu was caught by Xiaobai''s warm palm, and she didn''t know if it was too tight. Before she knew it, her heartbeat was slightly accelerated by the influence. Waiting to sit in the car, Lan Shu was still recalling how Xiao Bai opened the car door for her just now, taking care of her meticulously. It also occurred to me that Xiaobai didn''t seem to call her ''Sister Lan'' in the past two days, but called her by her first name, Lan Shu. Xiaobai didn''t know when he changed himself, and Lan Shu didn''t notice it immediately. Thinking of this now, Lan Shu let out a deep breath. In my heart, I feel even more stressed... ¡­ On Monday, Lan Shu first went to the TV station to meet with Cui Nian, and then met with the master in charge of video recording in the TV station to communicate about the content of the commercial shooting. As for the slogan of the advertisement, Lan Shu thinks it is very easy to understand. Just one sentence, ''Yunrou Juanzhi, your good helper in life. '' Regarding Lan Shu''s thoughts, the video crew couldn''t fault it at all! I even think that the manufacturer¡¯s advertising idea is very good, and such an advertisement is very easy to remember. After setting the shooting time and location for tomorrow, the camera crew will do the next set-up. In this ad, Lan Shu doesn¡¯t plan to use too complicated an environment. She only needs a clean background, which can highlight the rolled toilet paper in the hands of the actors in the ad. The video crew prepared according to her requirements, while Lan Shu took the time to meet with Yu Yuan, the regional manager of their garment factory. She asked Yu Yuan to arrange the costumes in place as soon as possible, and let the actors try on the clothes before the shooting tomorrow morning, so that tomorrow''s shooting can be as smooth as possible. ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu came to the TV station early. The shooting location prepared by the cameraman is in a room on the second floor. The interior of the room is empty, the walls are white, and there are lights on it. This is the shooting location. When Lan Shu came, several actors she had selected at Beijing Film and Television University had already arrived. They changed into the clothes they had prepared long ago, put on their own makeup, and were busy. Although the young actors have not arrived yet, they are coming soon. Seeing all this, Lan Shu felt relieved. The first TV commercial in China will appear soon¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 187: Number 888 Chapter 187 Number 888 After a day of shooting, the advertisement was successfully completed. Although the filmed material is less than five minutes long, each actor performed no less than 20 or 30 times. Today¡¯s video recording equipment is a film machine, and the cost of shooting is high. It took a lot of handing in five minutes, and finally a few seconds were intercepted from it, and the material is definitely sufficient. All the clothes worn by the actors were sponsored by Lan Shu and given to the other party. In addition, she also paid each person ten yuan for the labor cost of advertising and filming. Although these labor fees may not seem like much, but ten yuan a day is definitely considered generous at this time! Feng Xingxing got the first money in his life that he earned by his own ability. Since receiving the money, the smile on his face has never stopped. The little girl Ningning was also very happy. She gave the money to her parents and said in a sweet voice, "I will go to the zoo next week." Seeing that everyone is so happy, Lan Shu is also in a good mood. After she said a few words to thank the actors for their cooperation and the efforts of the on-site staff, Lan Shu went to find the videographer. She and the videographer confirmed the time when the commercial will be released, and said hello to Cui Nian who works in the TV station, and then left with due courtesy. ¡­ After coming out of the TV station, Lan Shu didn''t go home, but went to Huaxia Shopping Center first. She has been busy with the preparatory work for the commercial shooting for the past few days, so she didn''t have time to go to the mall to check the sales of the cosmetics counter, and she didn''t have the energy to pay attention to the progress of cosmetics research and development. Taking advantage of the time today, she just went there. After dealing with the affairs in Kyoto, she will return to Qingyang County in a few days. The location of the TV station is a short distance from the Huaxia Shopping Center. Fortunately, there is a direct bus, which is convenient for her to go to the place. On the second floor of the shopping mall, at the VCR and tape counter, Lan Shu didn''t go directly to the cosmetics counter on the third floor, but first met with Lan Weicheng to find out about the performance of the cosmetics tellers she recruited these days. When Lan Weicheng saw his daughter coming, he immediately put down what he was doing. He answered his daughter''s questions one by one. "That Yanjuan is very nice. She has only been here for four days, and she is completely familiar with the selling prices of all the products at the counter." "I go to check the sales situation every night. Although she is a new teller, her sales performance is not far behind that of the previous Yang Meimei. The sales on Saturday and Sunday are even better than the previous Yang Meimei." Lan Shu could see the surprise and joy on her father''s face when he mentioned the sales performance. The ability of the new teller surprised Lan Weicheng, and the situation of making money at the cosmetics counter made Lan Weicheng very excited. Lan Shu nodded, the result was similar to what she expected. "Apart from Yanjuan''s sales situation these days, is there anyone else looking for me?" Lan Shu asked. She wanted to know how the progress of Zhou Di and Chen Ping''s cosmetics research laboratory was going. Hearing this question, Lan Weicheng thought for a while before answering. "It seems that someone is looking for it. Before I got off work last night, when I went to the cosmetics counter on the third floor to collect the bill, I heard from the new teller that two girls came to the counter to look for the boss during the day, but they were not looking for me. They stayed in touch before they left. The method should be at the cosmetics counter." Hearing this, Lan Shu was about to go to the cosmetics counter. But before she could leave, she heard Lan Weicheng say next to her, "Shu Shu, you should have a big brother, otherwise it would be too inconvenient for others to contact you." As he said that, Lan Weicheng immediately took out a dark and dark ''big brother'' from his arms, and handed it to her. "I bought a new one, I deliberately chose the number ending in 888, which indicates that the business will make a fortune~! Lan Weicheng said, he was much happier like that than when he bought the ''Big Brother'' himself! Lan Shu looked at the first-generation mobile phone in her hand, and was silent for a moment. Just this ugly and heavy thing costs 10,000 yuan. As a father, Lan Weicheng is really willing to give to his daughter, so Lan Shu is a little embarrassed to accept such unreserved giving... Actually, although ''Big Brother'' is expensive, Lan Shu can''t afford it. She just thinks that she will buy it after a few years when there will be a light mobile phone. But now that her father bought it for her, she can keep it, but she didn''t collect it for nothing. "Dad, my cosmetics research studio is waiting for the product to be sold at our counter first, and the purchase price of our counter will always be 20% lower than other counters." When Lan Weicheng heard this, he listened to it and didn''t take it to heart. He felt that it was enough for his daughter to have such a heart for himself. So at this time, he still doesn''t know how big the profit of cosmetics is, and how much profit Lan Shu''s promise will bring to his counter in the future¡ª That is definitely not the value of a ''big brother''. Even in the future, the income will be a thousand times higher than that of "Big Brother"! Across the way, after Lan Shu received ''Big Brother'', she also got a small phone book that his father thoughtfully prepared for her. Opening the notebook, his father Lan Weicheng''s phone number was recorded on the first line, followed by his landline phone number at home. ''Big Brother'', as a mobile communication device in this era, has very single functions. It can only make calls, not even a function to store phone numbers. So it is necessary to have a handwritten phone book with the "Big Brother" to record other people''s phone numbers, so that it is convenient to contact people. Look at the ''big brother'' in your hand and then think about the portable mobile phone. At this moment, Lan Shu really hopes that the mobile phone will come out as soon as possible~! Unfortunately, it should be a few years before the mobile phone comes out. At this moment, Lan Shu didn''t know that the mobile phone she thought would be released in a few years was currently being researched in the information technology studio that Xiaobai invested in Xue Chuang. The pager, which should have appeared two years later, will be available in half a year at most, and the mobile phone that gets rid of the heavy weight and is lighter will be manufactured within two years at the latest¡ª ¡­ On Lan Shu''s side, she put the heavy ''Big Brother'' phone in her bag, and then Lan Shu went to the third floor. Arriving at the cosmetics counter, Lan Shu happened to see Yan Juan, a new teller whom she personally hired, selling cosmetics to the two customers in front of her. With a gentle smile on her face, Yanjuan said sincerely, "The colors of these lipsticks are all beautiful, but you are relatively young, so I suggest you buy this lighter color." As soon as the conversation changed, she said to another customer, "I think your appearance is bright, and this red is more suitable for you. Usually, you only need to apply a thin layer. A lipstick can last for a long time. .¡± When the two heard it, they immediately felt that it made sense, so the lipsticks of the two colors were bought one by one. (end of this chapter) Chapter 188: Set combination Chapter 188 Suit combination Lan Shu watched Yanjuan''s sales from the sidelines. She could recommend two different colors of lipstick to two customers of similar age and different appearance types, and she could also speak so reasonably that the other party couldn''t find a reason not to buy it. Generally experienced cosmetics tellers can do this, right? Yanjuan is definitely talented in the sales business without a teacher! After the two customers checked out and left, Lan Shu walked to the counter. In the cosmetics counter, seeing Lan Shu coming, Yanjuan immediately greeted with a smile, "Hi, little boss~" In fact, Yanjuan knew that the girl in front of her was just the boss''s daughter, but the reason why she was able to find this job was because the other party chose her and kept her. So in Yanjuan''s heart, the boss''s daughter is also her boss, which makes her willing to respect her deep in her heart. Lan Shu nodded, and then asked about the contact information left by Chen Ping and Zhou Di yesterday. When Yanjuan heard about it, she took out a note from the cash drawer under the counter, and handed it to Lan Shu with both hands. Taking the note, Lan Shu saw that there was an address written on the note. This should be the place where Chen Ping and Zhou Di found to research and make cosmetics. Lan Shu was not very familiar with the road section in Kyoto, so she asked Yanjuan for the address. Knowing that the location is not very far from Huaxia Shopping Mall, Lan Shu nodded, planning to go there later. But before she left, she had an idea about the situation at the cosmetics sales counter. Lan Shu looked at Yanjuan and said. "Next time you sell cosmetics, you can try a combination set. Customers can enjoy half the price of the cream as long as they buy lipstick, blush, eye shadow, and eyebrow pencil." Lan Shu noticed last time that the sales of creams at the counter are relatively fast, while the sales of makeup products are not so good. Even if someone buys makeup, they usually come one by one. Now the set sales model she is talking about should speed up the sales of makeup products. As for the half price of the cream, it seems to be a loss, but in fact the lost price has already been made up by the profits of other makeup products. When Yanjuan heard about this sales method, she certainly thought it was good! Selling a set of cosmetics at a time, she will get the commission faster! Just¡­ "Can it really be sold like this?" Yanjuan was not sure. Although she thought of Lan Shu as the boss in her heart, she also knew that the real boss was the little boss''s father. "Yes." Lan Shu nodded, "I will tell my dad about the situation later, there may be more than one way of selling, and he will inform you of the specifics at that time." "Okay, if it is really possible to sell like this, don''t worry, little boss, I will definitely improve the performance of our counter!" Yanjuan is very confident about this. Lan Shu nodded, and then said to Yanjuan, "Wait for news." Then she went downstairs. ¡­ On the second floor of the shopping mall, Lan Weicheng saw his daughter came back, and was about to ask her if she got the contact information, when she heard Lan Shu talking about the promotion of cosmetics. After hearing his daughter''s thoughts, Lan Weicheng was slightly taken aback! But soon, he found that he was surprised more than these¡ª "In addition to selling cosmetic sets, our counter can also implement a membership system. As long as you buy cosmetics at the counter, you can earn points according to the amount of consumption. When the points reach a certain level, you can exchange for free cosmetics." The reason why Lan Weicheng can be a boss is that he has a certain business acumen first. Hearing his daughter mentioning this, Lan Weicheng immediately understood the benefits of combination package sales and membership system. Set sales can promote customer consumption, while the membership system allows customers to recognize their counters and continue to come to their counters to buy cosmetics next time. Thinking of this, Lan Weicheng immediately put aside the sales of Walkmans, found a new notebook, and immediately lay down on the counter to write the sales plan¡ª Lan Shu saw Lan Weicheng''s concentration, she didn''t interrupt, but left the mall silently. Glancing at the address on the note in her hand, Lan Shu looked for where Zhou Di and Chen Ping were¡ª ¡­ Half an hour later, Lan Shu finally found a place in front of a small courtyard about two kilometers away from Huaxia Shopping Mall. Although the house rented by Zhou Di and Chen Ping was not far from the shopping mall, it took some time to find it because Lan Shu was not familiar with the way. At this time, Zhou Di and Chen Ping were making face cream in their rented room. The two of them added the blended essential oil, flower hydrosol, and a small amount of other additives to several parts of the filtered aloe vera viscose and stirred evenly. Gradually, the originally transparent aloe vera viscose took on color and the fragrance of flowers. This kind of pure plant cream with moderate thickness is the direction that Chen Ping and Zhou Di focus on preparing these days. The two have formulated several scented creams. They found that these creams are easily absorbed by the skin, and the skin is moisturized after use, which is much more refreshing than the cream. Lan Shu knocked on the door and walked in. First, she smelled the scent of natural flowers, and then, under the introduction of the two, she saw the pure natural plant cream they made! After trying this pure plant skin care product on the back of her hand, she found that this cream is said to be a face cream, but in fact it should be more between a face cream and a lotion. Just add a little more purified water or pure dew to it, and it will be an emulsion. Adding a little glycerin to the cream can better moisturize the skin and achieve a moisturizing effect. She shared her thoughts with Zhou Di and Chen Ping. Chen Ping and Zhou Di didn''t expect their boss to be so knowledgeable at such a young age! In the beginning, the concept of pure plant skin care products was proposed by the boss. Aloe vera moisturizes and essential oils nourish, all the boss told them. They just prepared these things according to what the boss said, and then used the chemical extraction techniques they learned to extract the essence of these things and prepare them. However, what surprised the two of them was still behind. After Lan Shu talked about her idea of ??skin care products, she turned from the perspective of use to the perspective of business. "After we distinguish between lotion and cream, we use lotion to replenish water and cream to moisturize. After a skin care product with similar texture is slightly different, we can sell it at two prices." "And take care of the skin step by step. This concept will make users feel more about the level of care our products take for the skin, and make them pay more attention to their skin." Speaking of which, Lan Shu felt that she already had milk and cream, so she might as well make a three-piece set. So she added, "Actually, in addition to milk and cream, a set of pure plant skin care products should add a step of essence water. Add the essence of this formula to pure water and blend it into water with a transparent texture as a cleanser. The first step after skin care." "So our set of pure plant skin care products is actually a formula of three products, namely water, milk, and cream?" Chen Ping understood. (end of this chapter) Chapter 189: miss Chapter 189 Chen Ping''s summary made Lan Shu nod her head. "Yes, that''s the idea, but it''s one thing to develop water, milk, and cream, and another thing to keep them for how long. Regarding these issues, you need to do a good job of research." Regarding the storage time, Chen Ping and Zhou Di have already considered it. The cream sold on the counter outside can be stored for a year, and their skin care products... "If the contact between these water, milk, cream and outside air can be reduced, the storage time can be extended." Zhou Di said. "It''s not difficult to reduce exposure." Lan Shu thought of pressing the pump or squeezing the bottle. Regarding these two kinds of outer packaging, it is actually not difficult to solve. She told them about these two methods of storing skin care products, and the answer she got was surprising! Lan Shu knew long ago that with the current technology, the storage time of skin care products will not be as long as three years as in later generations. She originally thought that it would be difficult for pure plant skin care products to have a shelf life of more than half a year. The result was told that as long as it is stored properly, there should be no problems within one year. But to be conservative, when their skin care products are produced, the shelf life will be set at most nine months. in case. In addition to skin care products, facial cleaning products were also mentioned by Lan Shu after her visit. Facial cleanser is one thing, and essential oil soaps that are higher-end than soaps should be more easily accepted by people in this era. The formula of soap is not difficult to obtain, and the process of improving the formula to make essential oil soap is not difficult. It happened that these floral essential oils refined by the two of them were useful. In addition to floral fragrance, Lanshu also considers fruity fragrance. For example, the VC in lemon is whitening, the iron element in peach enhances skin activity, and milk and goat milk soap can also whiten and rejuvenate the skin. Hearing these plans from the boss, Chen Ping and Zhou Di were pleasantly surprised! However, they also considered that the amount of work was beyond the two of them. Regarding this, Lan Shu reserved time for the two of them. They only need to thoroughly develop pure plant skin care products within half a month, and increase the types of essential oil soaps as much as possible. Lan Shu will spend half a month recruiting people, customizing the outer packaging of skin care products and the mold of essential oil soap. In Lan Shu''s plan, these products are expected to be officially sold on the counter in a month''s time! Hearing the boss'' plan, Chen Ping and Zhou Di breathed a sigh of relief. After the original huge workload was shared, they were confident in completing it. So the two expressed that they would live up to the boss'' expectations! Finally, Lan Shu didn''t forget to ask if the 500 yuan she gave the two of them before was enough for the start-up capital. The answer I got was that it only cost a dozen yuan to rent a house, and more than two hundred yuan to make various containers and raw materials for skin care products. So now, even half of the five hundred yuan has not been spent. Knowing this, Lan Shu couldn''t help sighing in her heart, cosmetics are really a huge profiteering industry¡ª And it won''t be long before her business will be spread all over this industry. Selling cosmetics through chemical means may allow her to achieve a surge in capital! ¡­ On the other side, after Gu Cheng returned to Kyoto from Haicheng, he took a day off to make himself look less tired. Gu Cheng still remembered that Lan Shu said that he thought he was old, so he has been paying attention to his mental outlook recently. He wanted to look as young as possible. After adjusting his state, Gu Chengcai went to Lan''s house to find someone. On weekdays, the Lan family goes to work, and those who do business do business, and no one is idle at home. Gu Cheng found someone to act and acted in vain. But he did not give up, but waited patiently. When it was time to get off work, Lan Weicheng usually came back late from the shopping mall, and Xu Shan was delayed for a while because of some things at work today. After communicating with Chen Ping and Zhou Di about the future development direction of skin care products, Lan Shu went to the plastic factory to learn about and inquire about the production of skin care product packaging. The Lan family was the first to go back, but it was Lan Xinya who Gu Cheng didn''t want to see the most. Lan Xinya hasn''t seen Gu Cheng for more than two months. When she came back from get off work today, she suddenly saw Gu Cheng appearing at her door. How could she not be excited? Even though she deliberately restrained her emotions, she still walked up to Gu Cheng faster than usual, "Why are you here?" When she asked this question, Lan Xinya was not sure whether Gu Cheng came to find her, or... She didn''t want to think about it anymore. But in the next second, Lan Xinya saw Gu Cheng frowning, and he didn''t speak, and was about to leave! At this moment, what else does Lan Xinya not understand? After all, I was thinking too much. What I think is completely different from what actually happened! At this moment, the idea that she and Gu Cheng should be together became stronger. She had an inexplicable feeling that she seemed to miss something between herself and Gu Cheng... After Gu Cheng left, Lan Xinya returned home in a depressed mood, sitting on the sofa in the living room, feeling the quietness in the house, which made her feel unreal. It seems that this kind of life is strange to her and should not appear. What went wrong? At this time, ¡®Click! ¡¯ With a sound, the sound of the key unlocking the lock sounded. Lan Xinya looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Shan coming back. "Mom~" she called out, her tone slightly hoarse. In just this moment, Xu Shan could feel that something was wrong with her daughter whom she had raised for nineteen years. "What''s the matter?" Xu Shan put the vegetables she bought at the door, walked quickly to her adoptive daughter, and gently held Lan Xinya''s hand. Lan Xinya could feel Xu Shan''s concern for her. Even if she is not Xu Shan''s biological child, she can also feel maternal love from Xu Shan... "Mom," she called again, then sighed. After a moment of silence, Lan Xinya spoke again. "Mom, I feel so tired," she said. ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m tired from work, but that everything I¡¯m experiencing is unreal¡­¡± No one can tell her thoughts, but now, she wants to tell Xu Shan that Lan Xinya hopes that Xu Shan can understand herself. But Xu Shan doesn''t understand her mood, but she understands the truth of life. "Xin Ya, Mom knows that you''ve been in a bad mood since Shu Shu came to the house, but have you ever thought that what happened now is not caused by Shu Shu?" Xu Shan couldn''t help sighing when she said this. She always wanted Xinya to understand these words, but she never understood. "You were wronged back then, don''t blame Shushu, on the contrary, she lived in the countryside for nineteen years, experienced a bad marriage, and didn''t complain at all." "She is the child of my blood and your father''s. She was not able to live with us before. This is what we owe her. And this family belongs to her, so it is only natural for Shushu to live in." Xu Shan said with a heavy heart. Her words are what she thinks in her heart at this moment. The husband and wife really owe a lot to Shushu... (end of this chapter) Chapter 190: worthy of father and daughter Chapter 190 As expected of father and daughter It is precisely because of the debt that they want to make up for it now. During the Chinese New Year, Xu Shan knew about her husband giving Shu Shu 10,000 lucky money. The couple missed Shu Shu''s childhood and missed Shu Shu''s nineteen years of life, and now they want to make up for it, Xu Shan doesn''t think there is any problem. Since Xinya grew up with them, Xu Shan can say responsibly that Xinya has never experienced hardship since she was a child. Just like now, even though Xinya is already at work, her husband will still give Xinya pocket money every month. The amount of pocket money even far exceeds Xinya''s current salary at work! On the contrary, it was Shushu. As parents, they didn''t pay much for Shushu... Lan Xinya looked at Xu Shan, and after listening to Xu Shan''s words, she shook her head in disappointment. Sure enough, no one can understand myself¡ª Mom only thought of Lan Shu, did she think of herself? I have lived in this home for nineteen years, and suddenly a biological daughter of my parents came. Who has considered her feelings? On the opposite side, Xu Shan sighed softly as she looked at the look on her adoptive daughter''s face. After all, she is a child raised by herself. At this moment, from Xinya''s reflection, she knew Xinya''s thoughts. "Xinya, your father and I raised you up, no matter whether you are our biological child or not, the family relationship between us is always parting." "You and Shushu are the children of me and your father. We are parents. I hope you can get along well. If you can understand these things, maybe you won''t feel tired." Xu Shan told her adoptive daughter what she was thinking, and she hoped that Xinya would think about it and not complain about Shushu. Lan Xinya raised her head slowly, and looked at Xu Shan fixedly, as if she wanted to see some truth in these words from Xu Shan''s eyes! Finally, she saw the true feelings in Xu Shan''s eyes¡ª What my mother said is true... Lan Xinya felt bitter. Actually, she knows all of this, but she still can''t help but think that if Lan Shu didn''t appear, her life wouldn''t be reduced to this point... Lan Xinya lowered her head and fell into deep thought again. She felt that she might need to have a good chat with Lan Shu. Perhaps Lan Shu''s attitude is the opportunity to completely untie the knot in her heart¡ª ¡­ At 7:30 in the evening, Lan Weicheng came back from the mall. Not long after, Lan Shu also arrived home. Actually, Lan Shu was already done with her work, but there was no means of transportation to delay her time. She and the last bus to the neighborhood are only a minute away! Even she watched the bus drive away from the front without a trace¡ª It turned out that she walked all the way back, and it took more than half an hour to reach the gate of the compound... At home, Xu Shan was cooking in the kitchen, and Lan Weicheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a red leather notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and correcting in the notebook from time to time. As for whether Lan Xinya is here or not, whether she will come back or not, that''s none of Lan Shu''s business, she doesn''t need to care. Arrived at home, Lan Shu first went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then went back to the living room to see how Lan Weicheng was doing. Seeing his daughter coming, Lan Weicheng immediately showed Lan Shu the details about the membership system that he had written in his notebook. The membership points that Lan Weicheng thinks of are one dollar for one point, and after 100% is full, they can be exchanged for something, and there are corresponding rewards of 200, 300, and 500 points. Lan Shu glanced at it and then suggested, "In addition to this exchange product, you can also add a point to exchange for money." "Exchange money for purchase?" Lan Weicheng didn''t quite understand this word. "For example, how much money is added to 50 points, can be exchanged for cream, how much money is added to 100 points, can be exchanged for lipstick, etc., and the points can be redeemed for money, and can be sold together." Hearing his daughter''s explanation, Lan Weicheng suddenly realized and slapped his thigh! "Wonderful~!" He didn''t know how many times this was the first time he felt that his daughter''s business talent was unmatched! When Lan Weicheng was excited, Lan Shu''s words continued. "Make a promotional sign or banner with these two preferential methods of membership system, and hang it on the counter, so as to promote our membership system at the counter. At that time, whether customers want to exchange money for purchases or exchange things directly is up to them. own choice." "Okay! Let''s do it like this!" The daughter had thought about everything, and Lan Weicheng naturally had no objections. I knew that I would write and revise all afternoon, but the result was not as clear as my daughter''s few words, so he didn''t even bother to write the sales plan~! After this experience, Lan Weicheng knows that next time he doesn¡¯t have to worry about it, and just listen to his daughter¡¯s advice~ Lan Weicheng even thought about... "Shushu, why not give it to you directly from our cosmetics counter, you can decide how it develops!" After listening to Lan Weicheng''s words, Lan Shu did have some thoughts about it. But she doesn''t want to take the family business for herself, but has some plans for cosmetics sales. In the future, when pure plant skin care products are produced, there will definitely be related sales plans, and the counter will need to cooperate at that time. So Lan Shu decided after thinking for a while, "I will often give some advice on the sales of the cosmetics counter. As for the ownership of the counter, it is still at home." She has a factory and wants to develop other businesses, so there is no shortage of this counter. The cosmetics counter may become one of the most profitable businesses for the Lan family in the future. As for why one? Because Lan Shu knows that the Walkman business is very good. When she went to the counter during the day, she saw a new batch of Walkmans produced according to her drawings were already on sale at the counter. And the fact that the original black and army green Walkmans sold out long ago shows just how well the Walkmans are selling over the counter these days. The Walkman business is still a long way off, and the cosmetics business is about to start~! Hearing what his daughter said, Lan Weicheng knew that her daughter did this for the sake of the family. Although he really wanted to give the cosmetics counter to his daughter, since Shu Shu didn''t want it, he would keep it for now. Business is very worrying, Shushu is already busy enough, he will take care of the affairs at the counter, anyway, sooner or later the business at home will still be Shushu''s. As for Xinya, Lan Weicheng will not hand over the business to his adopted daughter, because he knows that Xinya is not a material for doing business. At that time, he will prepare a sum of money for Xinya, so that the adopted daughter can live a life without worrying about food and clothing. Right now, on the second floor of the Lan House. Lan Xinya stood at the stairs, listening to the voice of Lan Shu and her father discussing things from downstairs, and every time Lan Shu said a few words, her father would get excited. As expected of a father and daughter, they also have strong business acumen. And I am completely different from them¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 191: destroyed Chapter 191 Ruined At this moment, Lan Xinya became distressed again. Originally, she wanted to find Lan Shu and talk to Lan Shu about something. But now, she is no longer in the mood to communicate with Lan Shu. Because Lan Xinya found out that she and Lan Shu might have nothing to say at all! If you barely get together, you will only hate each other! ¡­ During the days when Lan Shu arrived in Kyoto, something happened at the Linjiang Machinery Factory. It wasn''t because He Sunan designed and manufactured the assembly line machine for carrying small paper bags, but a woman named Li Xiumei came to Linjiang City Machinery Factory to ask for money! Three days ago, Li Xiumei came to the gate of the machinery factory and cried. She said that an employee in the machinery factory owed her more than 300 yuan. Originally, she waited for the other party to pay the wages and slowly repaid the debt, but the machinery factory fired him! As a result, the person who owed the money ran away, and her money would never come back¡ª Li Xiumei felt that all this was caused by the machinery factory! For more than a month, Li Xiumei has gone crazy! Since Xu Yunjie was fired from the machinery factory a month ago, her parents no longer agree with her being with Xu Yunjie. At that time, she insisted on following Xu Yunjie, even if Xu Yunjie lost his job in the machinery factory, he would just find another job in the future. But Li Xiumei didn''t expect that Xu Yunjie disappeared after her persistence! After he was fired from the machinery factory, he disappeared that day. At first Li Xiumei didn''t notice it, but when she found out, Xu Yunjie hadn''t seen him for three or four days... She wanted to find Xu Yunjie and ask what Xu Yunjie meant! ? So Li Xiumei asked for leave and went to Xu Yunjie''s hometown, and met Xu Yunjie''s mother. At first, she thought that she could find Xu Yunjie this time, but she was told that after Xu Yunjie left the machinery factory, he never returned to the village! At this moment, Li Xiumei thought of Xu Yunjie, his elder sister. She remembered that Xu Yunjie brought his elder sister to borrow money from her that day, and then he disappeared. Li Xiumei was even thinking, maybe Xu Yunjie colluded with the elder sister of the Xu family, and wanted to cheat a sum of money from her before leaving? ! But when she found Sister Xu, she learned that Xu Yunjie did owe money to Sister Xu''s family, and Sister Xu never saw Xu Yunjie again after she asked for the money that day. Li Xiumei found out that Xu Yunjie was nowhere to be found, and he did not return to the village. He might have thought that he would find him, so he just avoided him! More than three hundred yuan is not a small amount. Li Xiumei thought that Xu Yunjie was not at home, so she would ask the Xu family for money! ¡ª But she found that Xu Yunjie''s family was poor and only stuttered, and they couldn''t afford any money at all! Xu Yunjie has a few older sisters, but those older sisters are all married, so they won''t pay back the money for his younger brother at all. After asking for the bill to no avail, and even being kicked out of the house by the sisters of the Xu family, Li Xiumei could only return to the city. But after she came back, a series of things happened! ¡ª In order to help Xu Yunjie keep his job, she borrowed money from her colleagues, and she promised to pay back the money slowly. I don''t know who leaked the news. Her colleagues in the unit all knew that her boyfriend used her to borrow money and ran away with the money! Now a pile of blame falls on her! Facing the voices of colleagues asking for money, where does Li Xiumei have more than 300 yuan? Even if she said so, even if Xu Yunjie ran away, she will still have her salary in the future, and she will pay it back slowly. But many colleagues still did not believe her words and asked her to find a way. Even if she asks her family, she must return the money as soon as possible! After all, Xu Yunjie ran away, who knows if Li Xiumei will run with him? Li Xiumei is well aware of her family''s situation. Her parents are partial to her brother, so how could she use the money to pay her bills? So this road was blocked directly! Just when she faced the debt collection of her colleagues every day, but still hadn''t paid the debt, something even worse happened! ¡ª During a meal, Li Xiumei suddenly felt nausea rolling in her stomach. At first she didn''t care, thinking it might be a stomach problem. But after such reactions appeared for several days, Li Xiumei suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart! So she went to the hospital for an examination and found out that she was two months pregnant... An unmarried girl is pregnant. Once the news gets out, she will be ruined! In those days, Li Xiumei was frightened. She was worried that her work unit would find out about her morning sickness, so she took several days off. But this matter can be hidden from the unit, but not from the family. Not long after, her parents and elder brother found out about her unmarried pregnancy! Because of this incident, her father was furious and beat her severely! Brother who had originally laughed at her for finding a poor man, also made a lot of sarcastic remarks in front of her. Finally, her mother took her to abort the fetus in her stomach. Now, the sick leave originally requested at work has become real sick leave. She lay at home for more than a week before going out. After she came out, Li Xiumei directly found Xu Yunjie''s previous unit¡ªLinjiang Machinery Factory. She thought that if Xu Yunjie hadn''t been dismissed by the machinery factory without a word, she wouldn''t have fallen to where she is now! The money that Xu Yunjie borrowed from her was all borrowed while working in the machinery factory, and the machinery factory is also responsible! ¡­ In the Linjiang City Machinery Factory, when Director Liao heard the news, he felt incredible. The money owed by the expelled workers from their factory, someone wants to come to their factory? After learning the cause and effect of the whole incident from the secretary, Director Liao directly asked for the woman who was crying at the gate of their factory to be driven away! Although it is unfortunate that the woman was cheated out of money, she also believed in the wrong person. What does it have to do with their machinery factory? Even Factory Manager Liao also learned that the reason why Xu Yunjie was able to work in their factory at the beginning was because of the relationship of a woman that gave Xu Yunjie the opportunity to work in the factory! Regarding this incident, Director Liao punished the profiteer in the factory on the same day, and helped Xu Yunjie enter the factory''s middle-level factory. Taking the opportunity of punishing people, Factory Director Liao also gave a serious warning to all the employees in the factory that no more people entering the factory through the back door to work in the factory will happen in the future! Outside the gate of the machinery factory. Not only did Li Xiumei not ask for money from the machinery factory, but she was driven away by the security personnel in the machinery factory. She squatted at the gate of the factory for three days, and was driven away for three days! Li Xiumei''s behavior made her father deeply ashamed, so her parents took her home and forbade her to go out again. Father Li even said, let her take care of her health, and then marry off from home immediately! At this time, Li Xiumei knew that her father had already found a ''next house'' for her. That man was a bald old man in his father''s work unit whose wife had died! Li Xiumei can''t bear to live with an old man in the future! So that night, she made the same decision as Xu Yunjie¡ª Leave Linjiang City! (end of this chapter) Chapter 192: minimum investment Chapter 192 Minimal Investment When Li Xiumei left this time, she was not only avoiding the arrangement at home, but also avoiding the money owed to her colleagues in the unit. More importantly, she wants to find Xu Yunjie! She swore that she would make Xu Yunjie pay for what he did to him! When Li Xiumei left, she also stole money from the family. With money, her life outside will not be so hard. However, the result of her doing so was a complete break with her family, leaving no room for herself to turn back¡ª ¡­ In Kyoto, the set sales and membership system at the cosmetics counter will be officially implemented the next day! Lan Weicheng specially found a shop that makes signs and banners, and ordered two pieces of colored advertising paper. A piece of paper is written on the preferential activities of the counter member points system. The other one is a cosmetic set sale with buy and free. Two pieces of advertising paper were hung on the shelf in the counter. Relying on these two advertising papers, the number of goods sold at the cosmetics counter that day was more than double the usual! Downstairs, the business of tape recorders and audio tape counters is also very good. Nowadays, Walkmans are only available at the counter of Lan Weicheng in the entire shopping mall, and this is the only business, which makes the bosses of similar counters in the entire shopping mall envious! Because the Walkman sold well, even the sales of tapes followed suit. Lan Weicheng just brought the goods from the warehouse this morning, and bought dozens of tapes in one morning. These days, Walkmans are sold at the tape recorder counter on the second floor of the Huaxia Mall, which attracts all the tape recorder bosses in Kyoto. Some people seek relationships and even give gifts in order to learn about the purchase channel of Walkmans from Lan Weicheng. Regarding this, Lan Weicheng directly used his own counter as a base, saying that he could wholesale Walkmans to the outside world. But there is really not a lot of goods now, so he will sell them at retail for a while at the counter, and then wholesale them later. The bosses in the same industry heard what Lan Weicheng said, what else did they not understand? They wouldn''t believe Lan Weicheng''s words that it was temporarily out of stock, and they all believed that Lan Weicheng had stock in their hands, in order to sell it first! Wait until the money is almost earned, and the demand in the market is not so urgent, then wholesale to the outside world, so that others can make some money along with it. This obviously means that he wants to eat meat and only save some soup for everyone. But no matter what the bosses of similar businesses outside speculate, what Lan Weicheng said is indeed the truth. The Walkman processing factory opened by Lu Wei and Qian Qing is not large, because of the shortage of manpower, the number of Walkmans assembled every day is limited. After the Walkman started to be sold on the market, it sold more than a dozen units a day at the beginning, and then sold dozens of units a day later, because the business was so good, but the counter supplying Lan Weicheng was a little nervous, let alone other people in Kyoto. The counter of the mall is gone. For this reason, Lu Wei and Qian Qing decided to recruit people and expand the scale of production! It happened that Lan Weicheng''s counter was constantly selling goods and returning funds, and they had plenty of money. Therefore, it won''t be long before the production capacity of the entire Walkman processing plant will double! In the walkman processing factory, Qian Qing watched as the small processing factory with a dozen or so people now has a scale of more than 30 people. More than one hundred Walkmans can be assembled every day! Before switching to another one, Qian Qing would never have imagined that their Walkmans would be so popular in the market. I never thought that the Walkman could make so much money! But now, Qian Qing suddenly felt that the girl from the Lan family had readily paid out 30,000 yuan to buy 59% of the factory''s shares, leaving only 41% owned by him and Lu Wei. . Did she predict that the Walkman sales market would be so booming? Now thinking that most of the factories are owned by other people, Qian Qing suddenly has the feeling that he and Lu Wei have researched the Walkman, but the result is that they work hard for others to make money. Qian Qing felt that what they sold was not the shares of the Walkman, but themselves~! It''s a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. The only thing Qian Qing is lucky about now is that after he and Lu Wei worked hard to make money, they still have a 41% dividend. When Qian Qing lamented that he and Lu Wei sold themselves to others and worked for others, Lu Wei had completely withdrawn from the ordinary Walkman and began to assemble a Walkman with the function of washing tapes and recording. According to the plan, the Walkman with recording function will be sold over the counter in half a month. At that time, walkmans with ordinary functions can be sold wholesale to other counters in Kyoto. The timing of these sales, as well as details of the sales plan, are all provided by Lan Weicheng. But it wasn''t him who came up with the idea, but the piece of paper he brought, which marked ''Walkman sales plan promotion form''. Lu Wei knew that it was Lan Weicheng''s daughter''s plan. Although Lan Weicheng is the head of the Lan family, in Lu Wei''s view, the real head of the family is actually Lan Shu... ¡­ When the Walkman processing factory grew in size, Lan Shu also recruited people for the cosmetics production studio. Before, Zhou Di and Chen Ping just rented a room in a family. Since cosmetics are going to be officially produced, it is natural not to be too casual. So Lan Shu directly rented a suite near the Huaxia shopping mall, a two-story small building with a total of six rooms and a yard of forty to fifty square meters. In order to prevent the landlord from having something to move out midway, Lan Shu directly rented it for a year. There is also a reasonable discount on the annual rent of the house, which is 300 yuan a year. After the house is rented, the matter of recruiting people is also on the agenda. With her father''s connections, it is very easy to recruit people who don''t need any professional knowledge, but are quick to work. Lan Shu finally selected four candidates among a dozen applicants, which is enough for the time being. After finishing all this, Lan Shu did some calculations. The investment in her cosmetics production studio is really not that big. In addition to the rent, the monthly salary for recruiting each person is 45, while Chen Ping and Zhou Di, as cosmetics developers, have a basic salary of 60, and each time a product is developed, there will be a bonus. In addition, the 500 yuan she gave Chen Ping and Zhou Di to buy research and development equipment and raw materials has not yet been used up. In a short period of time, she invested almost 1,000 yuan, and the cosmetics research and development studio was set up directly~! ¡­ After setting up the cosmetics research and development studio, the next day was Lan Shu and the videographer at the TV station. On this day, besides Lan Shu and the videographer, Deputy Director Zhu of the TV station was also present. The ad for Yunrou roll toilet paper will be the first ad in the history of the TV station, so I wish the deputy director a lot of attention! At 9:30 in the morning, in the screening room on the second floor of the TV station, on a 22-inch color TV, the advertisement began to play¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 193: fitness program Chapter 193 Fitness program Nowadays, there are still very few households using color TVs outside. Even if there are, the largest color TVs are 18 inches. A 22-inch color TV may be the only television station. On the TV, an old couple smiled and entered the mirror from outside the screen. They held a roll of snow-white toilet paper in their hands, and said together, "Yunrou roll paper, a good helper in your life." After that, the screen changed, and a young couple switched into the screen, "Yunrou Juanzhi, your good helper in life." The third picture shows two cute and beautiful children in the mirror, saying in a childlike voice, "Yunroujuanzhi, our favorite!" After three pictures appeared, the final picture was a shot of a family of six. Two elders are sitting on armchairs, with young couples on both sides, and two children, one is held by the mother and the other is held by the father. It looks like a loving and harmonious family. The six people looked very happy. They laughed and said in unison, "Yunrou Juanzhi, your good helper in life." The voice fell, and the screen was frozen on the large characters of "Yunrou Sanitary Series". Above the name, there is the logo of Yunrou toilet paper factory, as well as pictures of the outer packaging of roll toilet paper and day and night combination sanitary napkins. The ad was played for a total of eight seconds, which was completely within the ten seconds required by the TV station. Seeing the effect of the advertisement, Lan Shu was very satisfied. Aside, Deputy Director Zhu has no objection to the appearance of sanitary napkin packaging in the final screen of this ad. "Yes." She nodded and said. With the affirmation of the TV station leader, then this advertisement will be no problem! so¡­ "Can our advertisement start to air this Friday and Saturday?" Lan Shu asked. She previously agreed with the TV station to test the broadcast for three days to see the effect, so it is best to have two weekends, so that there will be more viewers. Today is Wednesday, if the internal operation of the TV station is good, Lan Shu thinks there should be no problem. When asked by an advertiser, Zhu Hong, as the deputy director of the TV station, thought it over carefully before answering, "Yes." With her confirmation, Lan Shu felt relieved. "Then Deputy Director Lao will take care of you." She smiled, and said the compliment naturally, without the slightest hint of flattery. Zhu Hong had a good impression of the little girl in front of her before. During these two meetings, seeing the little girl''s polite appearance made Zhu Hong''s impression of her even better. So she also smiled at Lan Shu and said, "You''re welcome." Seeing that the deputy director of the TV station treated her well, Lan Shu was naturally happy. And Deputy Director Zhu told her not to be rude, of course she wouldn''t really be rude, she still needs to be humble and polite. After solving the issue of toilet paper advertisements, Lan Shu asked out of curiosity, "Is the morning broadcast time of our TV station still available?" "Morning?" Zhu Hong was startled, "How early?" Their station broadcasts every day from 7:30 to 8:30, from 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm, and from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Even families who can¡¯t afford a TV will know the broadcasting time. This is a common sense issue. Zhu Hong doesn¡¯t believe that the little girl doesn¡¯t know. That''s why Zhu Hong asked such a question. "Morning...about six o''clock?" Lan Shu frowned slightly, thinking, and said uncertainly. Then she straightened her mind again, "Between half past five and half past six." Hearing what Lan Shu said, Zhu Hong immediately shook her head, "It''s so early, no one watches TV, and we don''t start broadcasting until 7:30." Lan Shu really didn''t know that the TV station would not broadcast before 7:30, which is common sense that everyone knows. Now hearing that the time before 7:30 is empty, she suddenly had an idea¡ª "Deputy Director, does the TV station still need programs? If so, I want to have a program between six o''clock and seven o''clock!" Although the little girl said so, Zhu Hong still had to emphasize, "From six o''clock to seven o''clock, very few people watch TV." "But what if it''s a morning exercise program that is good for everyone''s health?" Lan Shu said again. "Sports program?" Zhu Hong was taken aback by the thought of the little girl. She thought about it, and then replied, "Tell me carefully." At this moment, she felt that the sports program that Lan Shu mentioned seemed interesting, so she wanted to find out~ So next, Lan Shu proposed a morning aerobics program, which was broadcast in the morning, so that the general public could also move and exercise their bodies. Actually, many people have the habit of doing morning exercises, but most of them wake up early and go out for a walk or two. Now Lan Shu''s proposal of aerobics seems feasible to Zhu Hong. If it were her, someone would lead her to do exercises on TV, and she would also like to follow the exercise. So for this program, Zhu Hong said that they will discuss it at their regular meeting on Friday. Lan Shu didn''t hope that her idea would be realized immediately, but she still talked more about the details of the aerobics program with the deputy director of the TV station. She felt that as long as the deputy director was optimistic about the program, there would definitely be many people who would follow the leader''s opinion in the internal meetings of the TV station. The reason why Lan Shu proposed this idea of ??aerobics was not simply to drive exercise. She knows that music is definitely needed when exercising, and when the time comes, their portable Walkmans will have the opportunity to be named for publicity, killing two birds with one stone. ¡­ Half an hour later, when leaving the TV station, Lan Shu clearly felt that the attitude of the deputy director Zhu of the TV station suddenly became amiable towards her. Lan Shu still remembers the seriousness on the deputy director''s face when she first met her. In contrast, the changes now can be described as great. Lan Shu knew that it was because she had mentioned the aerobics program to the TV station. She thought the deputy director was very interested in this program, so even her attitude towards herself changed. Walking out of the gate of the TV station, this time she didn''t come out alone, but was sent out by Cui Nian, an internal employee of the TV station who had been in charge of contacting her. Asking Cui Nian to send her off, this is the order of the deputy director, and it can be said that Lan Shu has a lot of face. It''s a pity that Lan Shu didn''t pay much attention to this. Face is not important, but getting things done is the key! ¡­ At this time in Kyoto, in Gu''s Electric Appliance Company, Gu Cheng sent many people to inquire about Lan Shu''s daily whereabouts in the past two days. As a result, some news was indeed obtained. It is said that the biological daughter of the Lan family has appeared at the counter of the Lan family several times recently, and then someone saw her near the TV station. Lan Shu went to visit her own business, Gu Cheng could still understand this. You can go to the TV station... What do you want to do? (end of this chapter) Chapter 194: look away Chapter 194 Mistakes Gu Cheng was completely puzzled by Lan Shu''s behavior of going to the TV station, but there has been a lot of movement recently at the counter of Lan Weicheng in Huaxia Mall! In the past two months or so since the end of the year, Gu Cheng has almost always stayed in Haicheng to develop Haicheng''s electrical company. So he didn''t know that Lan Weicheng opened a cosmetics counter at the beginning, and he didn''t know that Lan Weicheng began to sell a small tape player on the tape recorder counter. Although the business at the Lan''s counter was good before, but after returning to Kyoto this time, after Gu Cheng learned about the current situation of the Lan''s counter, he knew very well that the business of the Lan''s counter seemed to be different after Lan Shu came. ¡ª Especially tape drives! It is said that in Kyoto, many owners who sell tape recorders want to buy from Lan Weicheng''s counter. In the past, Lan Weicheng''s business was only the mainstay in the Huaxia shopping mall in Kyoto, not particularly outstanding, and not very eye-catching. And how long is it now? His recorder counter has become the most famous existence in the recorder industry in Kyoto! Before switching jobs, Gu Cheng didn''t care about Lan''s business at all, and didn''t even think much of it. Because the profitability of those counters in the Lan family is far behind compared to my own business~! But now, the Walkman business is exclusively owned by the Lan family, which even Gu Cheng feels itchy in his heart, but it is a pity that such a business is not his own. All of this is because of Lan Shu, the business of the Lan family can have the current good momentum. So the appearance of Lan Shu made Gu Cheng feel that she was special! She is beautiful, and although her temper is a bit high and cold, but her character has a fatal attraction to him¡ª¡ª Combined with her own business ability, not only did she open a factory by herself, she even brought the Lan family''s business to develop together. If such a woman can come to his Gu''s Electric Appliance Company, Gu Cheng has no doubt that she will make the company''s sales better and make the company grow faster! So Gu Cheng felt that he would get such a woman no matter how much he paid and tried his best! Today, Gu Chengteng took care of all his affairs, spared no time, and came to Huaxia Mall. He didn''t know where the Lanshu people were, so he could only try to meet them by chance. In the shopping mall, the tape recorder counter on the second floor is booming, and there are so many customers who come to buy Walkmans that they almost have to queue up. Because Lan Weicheng was there, Gu Cheng didn''t go there, but went directly to the third floor. He had heard people say that the Lan family''s cosmetics counter business is also very good. Gu Cheng was a little curious. He also sold cosmetics, but only Lan¡¯s counter had a good business. Is there any special reason? So he came to see for himself. In the cosmetics counter, Yanjuan is selling products to several customers in front of her. "Your facial features are already good-looking. After using our cosmetics, you look even brighter and more temperamental~! It is no exaggeration to say that you are one of the best beauties!" Yanjuan is approachable and pleasant to speak, and she will help customers try the cosmetics on the counter. A woman with a four-to-fifth appearance came to the cosmetics counter. After Yanjuan helped her put on makeup, she was able to make that person''s beauty reach a six-to-seven point! May I ask which girl doesn''t love beauty? After seeing myself with good makeup on, who would want to admit that the disheveled face before is my true appearance? So cosmetics must be bought! Even if it is not cheap, there are still savings. "Now there is an event for the cosmetics at our counter. As long as you buy cream, lipstick, eye shadow, and rouge, you will get a free eyebrow pencil." Yanjuan said. "Scenting cream is a must-have for everyone. No girl can do without it. You can choose from three colors of lipstick. You can choose whichever color you like. Rouge enhances the complexion. Eyebrow pencil draws the eyebrows to make people look energetic. The price of a set is only It takes twenty-six dollars." Yanjuan introduced with a smile. Then she changed her voice and said, "If you buy other cosmetics from our counter, you can become a member of our counter. This set of cosmetics can accumulate 26 points." "After accumulating 50 points, you can also participate in the redemption activity at the counter. You only need to add another three yuan to buy a box of cream. When you accumulate 100 points, you can even take away other cosmetics for free!" With such a set of rhetoric and various promotional activities, even women who originally just came to the mall to stroll casually will want to buy it now. So soon, several female customers gathered around the cosmetics counter, picked and bought a set of cosmetics each. The other women wandering around saw so many people buying a bunch of cosmetics, driven by curiosity, they couldn''t help but go to find out the situation. This understanding, before long, was transformed into another wave of customers by the eloquence of the female teller. Gu Cheng stood watching from afar, but within twenty minutes, there were already eight or nine women who bought a full set of cosmetics at the cosmetics counter of the Lan family. The average consumption per person is more than 20 yuan. With this little effort, the cosmetics counter has earned more than 200 yuan. Gu Cheng is clear that the profit of cosmetics is higher than that of electrical appliances. So according to the business situation of Lanjia''s cosmetics counter, if the business can continue, this small counter may be able to make more money than my own store selling electrical appliances! Gu Cheng originally thought that the tape recorders and tape counters on the second floor of the shopping mall were the most profitable business of the Lan family, but now he realized that he was mistaken. While the tape recorder business is booming, the cosmetics counter of the Lan family should not be underestimated! Was it all because of Lan Shu? As for that woman Lan Shu, Gu Cheng became more eager in his heart¡ª ¡­ At this time, after Lan Shu came out of the TV station, she had nothing to do, so she was going to check at the counter of the mall. She first went to the tape recorder counter on the second floor to say hello to her father, Lan Weicheng, and learn about the production situation at the Walkman processing factory by the way. and the Walkman with recording function, when will it come out. There are too many things around Lan Shu, so Lan Weicheng is responsible for all the matters related to Lu Wei and Qian Qing. If she needs to know the situation, she can just ask Lan Weicheng directly. When asked by his daughter, Lan Weicheng immediately told him. "Qian Qing called me yesterday and said that the processing plant can produce at least 100 Walkmans every day, half of which are sent to the counter, and the rest are stored in the warehouse of the processing plant." Lan Shu nodded. "The Walkmans in stock can be wholesaled to other bosses in the same industry." After finishing speaking, she did not forget to tell Lan Weicheng. "Dad, it''s good for our family''s business to be monopolized, but we must allow others to survive in this business. Otherwise, we can find someone to make Walkmans, and maybe others can too." ¡°In order not to inspire potential competitors, we must give opportunities to our peers to make money, and what we have to do is to become a leader in the industry.¡± (end of this chapter) Chapter 195: face poaching Chapter 195 Face-to-face poaching Before, Lan Weicheng didn''t have many concepts about these big-picture views. He just vaguely knows that if his business is too good and does not leave a way for others to survive, he will definitely be envied, and maybe someone will play tricks behind his back. So he has no objection to wholesale Walkmans so that other bosses in the same industry can also have opportunities to make money. Now I heard from my daughter the reason why she wants to leave a ''living place'' for others in business. Lan Weicheng realized belatedly that he was not as comprehensive as his daughter thought! Obviously he is older, he is a father, but now he is being taught by his daughter~! He even felt that his daughter¡¯s words had benefited him a lot¡ª Lan Weicheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed and panicked. The daughter is too smart, and he is a bit stupid as a foil... Opposite, Lan Shu learned about the situation of the Walkman processing factory and learned that Qian Qing had doubled the size of the processing factory. She was very satisfied with Qian Qing''s ability to take the initiative to do things. It seems that I made the right investment at the beginning! She read it right. Although Qian Qing is a technical talent like Lu Wei, apart from technical ability, Qian Qing is also a business-minded person. As long as he is here, Lan Shu doesn''t even need to worry about the Walkman processing factory. Qian Qing will naturally expand the scale when the processing factory develops to a certain level. To ensure that the Walkman assembled by the processing factory can supply the market demand. Qian Qing''s ability as a professional manager should have made it the first time for Lan Shu to experience the joy of investing and making money~! I think Xiaobai should feel like this, right? He developed the toilet paper factory by himself, and Xiaobai reaped the benefits. So Lan Shu felt that, in fact, she received 6% of Xiaobai''s shares, which was not a lot? Therefore, Lan Shu is already thinking, after Qian Qing develops the Walkman processing factory, how many shares should he give Qian Qing as a bonus? About this question, Lan Shu thinks it might be a good idea to make a decision based on Qian Qing''s working ability. After learning about the situation at the tape recorder counter, Lan Shu greeted her father and went upstairs. She hasn''t been here for a few days, and she still wants to see how the sales are going after the package sales plan and membership system implemented at the cosmetics counter? But what Lan Shu didn''t expect was that a few minutes later, she not only saw the sales boom at the cosmetics counter, but also saw a person who made her feel upset when she saw it! ¡­ On the third floor of Huaxia Shopping Mall, in front of Lanjia''s cosmetics counter. Gu Cheng admired the sales ability of the female cosmetics teller very much. Such a capable salesman, if they work in their electrical store, they will have a very good performance. When Gu Cheng sees this kind of people who are helpful to his career development, he will inevitably have the idea of ??attracting talents to his company. So, he didn''t care whose employee the other party was, he went up and said¡ª "I''m the owner of Gu''s Electrical Appliance Company. I want to hire you to be a salesperson in our company''s electrical appliance store. If you are willing to go, I can give you a satisfactory salary. At least every month will be more expensive than you at the cosmetics counter." It costs ten yuan more to do sales." In the counter, Yanjuan was busy helping customers match cosmetics that suit their color, when she heard a man''s voice in front of the counter¡ª She looked towards the person who spoke, and saw a man in his twenties and thirties, wearing casual clothes, looking at her and talking. Go to someone else''s electrical company? The salary is ten yuan higher than selling cosmetics? The salary at the cosmetics counter is not low, and with the commission, she roughly estimates that she can get eighty or ninety yuan a month. Yanjuan didn''t believe that anyone would pay her a salary of 100 yuan a month for no reason. Even if there is, if Yanjuan has not come to sell cosmetics, she will definitely not hesitate, and she will definitely choose a job with a high salary. But now, after selling cosmetics for a few days, she is used to it and loves it. Yanjuan is a woman, what woman doesn''t like cosmetics? Working at the cosmetics counter, she can put on beautiful makeup every day and sell the cosmetics in the counter to other women who want to be beautiful. Watching customers buy cosmetics one by one and become more beautiful, Yanjuan is also happy for them. She used to work for people to make money, it was for living. Now, selling cosmetics is still her hobby. This is a job that can make people beautiful. In addition to liking this job, Yanjuan also likes her little boss very much. The small boss is also very flexible in doing business. Now there are sales methods for selling suits and membership points, and there will be more sales plans in the future! Then she will be able to make more money! So Yanjuan looked at the man who claimed to be the owner of an electrical appliance company, and she immediately shook her head and refused. "Sorry, I don''t want to sell appliances," she said. Yanjuan''s voice fell, and Gu Cheng wanted to say something, but the next second, he heard a cold girl''s voice coming from his ear¡ª¡ª "I really didn''t expect Mr. Gu to be so optimistic about the tellers at our counter. It''s just that your behavior of poaching other people''s employees in front of other people''s counters is not too shameless?" At this moment, Lan Shu could still maintain a calm sarcasm on her face, but her heart was about to explode! She only cares about Gu Cheng~ Nowhere is pleasing to the eye! Now, this scumbag male lead went to their counter to poach their employees. This behavior is too disgusting! Opposite, Gu Cheng never thought that he would meet Lan Shu at this time. Before he went to Lan''s house, but he couldn''t find anyone. Now he has thoughts about other people''s employees, but Lan Shu caught him right away! Gu Cheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, even in an ugly situation. He knew what he did was wrong, but he didn''t expect that he would be discovered on the spot. "Sorry, I just love talents too much." Gu Cheng said, looking for a step down for himself. But these words reached Lan Shu''s ears, but it was¡ª "Love talent? I think you love money! Can''t wait for all capable salesmen to work in your store?" Lan Shu used to think that Gu Cheng was old and of poor character, but now she finds that Gu Cheng''s heart is still so bad! "What kind of talent you want to find is up to you, but please be a little more thoughtful, don''t be so ugly, can you go directly to our counter to recruit people?" Lan Shu took a deep breath, really doubting that someone like Gu Cheng could be a hero? Is the author of this novel blind? Gu Cheng: ¡­ He found that he was a little confused. Lan Shu heard with his own ears that he poached her employees. There is really no way to explain this. At this moment, Gu Cheng even regretted that he should not have been impulsive just now, and wanted to take advantage of talents when he saw them. "I was wrong just now." He looked at Lan Shu, facing his problem squarely. As long as Lan Shu can forgive him, don''t get angry with him, and settle the matter, he is willing to save some face. (end of this chapter) Chapter 196: leadership ability Chapter 196 Leader competencies For the annoying person, if the other party did something wrong, even an apology is useless. Lan Shu just wants Gu Cheng to get out of her sight! Keep yourself out of sight and calm in your mind. So she met Gu Cheng''s gaze coldly, "No need to apologize, you have time to apologize, leave early, don''t let me look at you, I want to thank you." She is really annoyed to see Gu Cheng, no matter whether Gu Cheng is the male protagonist or not, this man has the ability to be disgusting. Gu Chengyuan originally tried to run into Lan Shu at the counter of the mall, in order to have more presence in front of Lan Shu. But now, he didn''t expect that his sense of presence in front of Lan Shu would be there, but it would be a negative increase¡ª Gu Cheng frowned. He really made a wrong step, wrong step! Since he was going to get engaged to Lan Xinya, his impression in Lan Shu''s eyes will not be good. It would be very difficult for him to change Lan Shu''s impression of him... "Feel sorry¡­" "You don''t need to apologize, just get out. It''s not impossible to poach someone. I''m not that overbearing, but please don''t do it in front of me." Lan Shu interrupted Gu Cheng in a cold voice. "Of course, now my teller has clearly refused to work in your company, so if you come to her again, it will be harassment." She said. Gu Cheng: ¡­ He just wanted to recruit talents for the company, but he was about to rise to harassment. Gu Cheng took a deep breath, he didn''t care about the female teller at the Lanjia cosmetics counter at this moment. And now, even if he rushed back to the capital from Haicheng, even if he finally saw Lan Shu, but now the timing is not right, so he can only leave temporarily. But before leaving, Gu Cheng wanted to say something¡ª "Lan Shu, I know that because of my liking, it will backfire and make you hate me, but I still hope that you can put aside all the prejudice against me before and treat me with a normal heart." "Give me a chance to be a normal friend..." "Get out!" Lan Shu couldn''t bear it any longer, she put aside the politeness she should have towards people, and cursed people directly! Being treated like this by a woman, Gu Cheng couldn''t stand it now, so he could only shut up and leave¡ª When Gu Cheng''s figure disappeared from the third floor of the shopping mall, Lan Shu felt that her heart was at ease. Beside the counter, several customers who had witnessed the whole scene were really surprised to see the girl so resolutely rejecting the pursuit of other big bosses. But seeing a girl who is pretty and has a good figure, she does have the ability to reject the big boss. This made several female customers feel more about the benefits of being beautiful. There is no way for them to be born beautiful, so they can only rely on cosmetics to make themselves look good, so maybe some men will pursue them. So someone said, "I want a make-up set!" "Give me a set too! Did you just say that I am suitable for light-colored lipstick?" "I also want a cosmetic set, and I want to buy two more lipsticks, and I will use the three colors in rotation." "Then I want one more lipstick, I want both light red and full red." "..." Looking at the hot business in front of the cosmetics counter, Lan Shu''s anger finally subsided a little. This made her feel more and more that men will only affect her making money, and it is better for her to stay away from men¡ª Thinking of this, Lan Shu turned her attention back to the female customers in front of the counter, and said loudly. "Thank you for your love of our cosmetics. In addition to cosmetics, our counter will launch a batch of new skin care products in half a month. Please pay more attention to it then." "Skin care products? What''s that?" a customer asked. "Take care of your skin, make your face fairer and more supple, use it for a long time, and slow down aging. I hope that when you are 50 years old, your face will still look like you are 30 years old." Lan Shu didn''t go into too much detail, but the last sentence that made her real age look 20 years younger than her appearance was enough to make all the women present be curious about the skin care products she was talking about and want to get them! "When will skin care products be sold?" "How much? Will it be expensive?" "Can I really look like thirty at fifty?" "I''m thirty-five now, can I be younger after using it?" To these questions, Lan Shu has only one answer, "As long as you cherish your skin and take good care of it, you will definitely receive the goods." "Okay! I will definitely buy that skin care product then!" someone said. "If it can really make me younger, I will buy it too." Some people expect it. "According to what you said, after taking care of the skin and putting on makeup, will it make you look better?" someone asked. Lan Shu didn''t answer these questions, but Yan Juan, who was standing at the counter, took the initiative to lead the topic to her. "For the specific situation, when our skin care products are on the market, we will give you a detailed explanation. Only by using them personally and feeling them can you see the effect." Listening to Yanjuan''s answer, Lan Shu once again felt that the teller she recruited was really better than she expected. Yanjuan didn''t know about skin care products in advance, but after hearing a few explanations from herself, she was able to make such a speech, which is really surprising! Looking at the current customer flow at the cosmetics counter, I think about the scene after other skin care products are on the counter. Lan Shu thinks it''s time for their cosmetics counter to add a skin care product counter. Meanwhile, she needs a new teller or two. Even though Yanjuan has only come to work for less than half a month, Lan Shu feels that with Yanjuan''s abilities, she will become a good counter manager. As for recruiting, Lan Shubing is not in a hurry. After the skin care products are developed and sold on the counter, she will let Yanjuan choose her own employees. In Lan Shu''s eyes, Yanjuan has the ability to be a leader¡ª ¡­ On the other side, when Lanshu was promoting skin care products in advance to warm up the skin care products. In a two-story building with a courtyard not far from Huaxia Shopping Mall, in the cosmetics research room, Zhou Di has already produced five kinds of essential oil soaps. are deep red rose essential oil soap, golden lemon essential oil soap, white goat milk soap, pink milk flower essential oil soap, and green aloe vera essential oil soap. The effects of the five essential oil soaps are nourishing, whitening, degreasing, hydrating, and skin balancing. If these five kinds of soaps are put on sale, they can basically satisfy the vast majority of women who have requirements for skin cleansing. While Zhou Di was researching essential oil soaps, Chen Ping''s development of water, milk, cream, and skin care products was also in the final stage. The lotion and cream were successfully formulated according to the boss''s requirements and proportions, but it was the simplest skin care water, which made Chen Ping put some thought into it. How to make the skin care water refreshing, non-greasy, and easy to absorb has become the key to her skin care water ratio. Although she is still facing some problems, Chen Ping believes that she will soon find a solution to overcome these problems! (end of this chapter) Chapter 197: Chapter 197 Three days later, Qingyang County, toilet paper factory. During the time Lan Shu was away, Deputy Factory Director Zhu presided over all affairs in the factory. The sales scope of sanitary napkins has continued to expand and now covers five provinces. The sales scope of rolled toilet paper is spreading rapidly. Any store that sells Yunrou sanitary napkins will see the existence of rolled toilet paper. Besides, since yesterday morning, the phone in the factory rang one after another, all of them were looking for their factory to order toilet paper rolls! Secretary Qu, who was in charge of answering the phone, recorded the addresses of all phone calls in detail. At the same time, he also asked a few questions by the way, how do these sellers who are not in the sales scope of their current five provinces know about their factory? The message I got was¡ª "Aren''t you advertising? I called the TV station and asked about the phone number of the toilet paper manufacturer, and I got in touch with you." At this time, Secretary Qu found out about the fact that their factory manager was advertising on Kyoto TV¡ª So the money spent in the factory more than ten days ago was advertising expenses? Regarding this matter, the factory director really didn''t elaborate. And the fact that the factory can transfer the money without asking the reason is entirely out of absolute trust in the factory manager! But no matter what, as soon as the ad was released, the toilet paper rolls in their factory were roughly estimated. Fifteen paper roll machines worked day and night, and only had two hours of rest a day. The accumulated inventory may be empty this time. ! Secretary Qu immediately told the deputy director of the news. The deputy director of the factory, Zhu, got the news and arranged for the truck company that cooperates with their factory to deliver goods to merchants all over the place. At the same time, he called Director Lan''s "big brother" number when he contacted the factory not long ago, and asked Director Lan that his factory wanted to purchase another winding machine from Linjiang Machinery Factory. Lan Shu, who was in Kyoto, got the news that the sales volume of roll paper in the factory was going to spread all over the country, and immediately agreed to purchase additional roll paper machines in the factory, and wanted to purchase 15 additional roll paper machines at a time. At the same time, she asked Deputy Factory Manager Zhu to take this opportunity to promote the sanitary napkins in their factory to those merchants. Using paper rolls to open up the sales of sanitary napkins, which is why Lan Shu advertises with packaging for sanitary napkins. After finishing the call, Lan Shu directly contacted the TV station, saying that the toilet roll advertisement in their factory would continue to be followed up. From the previous advertisements twice at noon and four times in the evening, to twice in the noon and twice in the evening, four times a day, the first month. At the TV station, it was Cui Nian who received the call. Today is Saturday, the day when I should not go to work. TV stations usually only have staff on duty to maintain the TV signal. But today, Cui Nian is still on the job. "Comrade Lan Shu, if you are free on Monday, come to our TV station." "Is there something wrong?" Lan Shu asked. Cui Nian didn''t hide it, and said directly. "Your show on TV doing aerobics in the morning session was approved in yesterday''s meeting, but the specific situation was not finalized yesterday." "So this morning the leaders worked overtime and had a meeting, basically following what you said to our deputy director, while playing music, and doing three-person simultaneous aerobics." Lan Shu never expected that her proposal would make the leaders of the entire TV station work overtime for meetings! It seems that this morning show is really valued by the TV station. "Is there anything I need to do that Monday?" Lan Shu asked. "Our deputy director hopes that you can become the producer of our program, because you proposed the program, and you should know how to present it best." "In addition to the fact that the commercial shooting in your factory was the most effective, the leaders found it very interesting, so they decided to let you manage this morning show." Lan Shu: ¡­ She didn''t expect that she only wanted to take the opportunity to promote the Walkman in the future, but in the end, she asked the TV station to directly give her an establishment! Program producer! That''s a solid job. Being able to work in a TV station is a decent job. Others may not hesitate at all. But Lan Shu... "I''m the director of the toilet paper factory," she said. Cui Nian knew Lan Shu''s identity a long time ago, and the leaders had thought about this situation. "The supervisor doesn''t have to come to work every day. Our programs are all in the form of recording and broadcasting. As long as the tape is recorded in advance, you can come two or three days a month." Cui Nian said, still a little envious. He has never seen a job that only requires two or three shifts a month. "The salary of the supervisor is 60 yuan per month." Cui Nian added. An average of 20 yuan a day~! Lan Shu: She is not short of money. But being a producer can build a good relationship with the TV station leaders, and it will be more convenient for her to advertise in the future... "Okay, then I''ll come over on Monday and we''ll talk about it in detail." Lan Shu agreed. At worst, she will come to Kyoto to live for a few days every month. It just so happens that she has a business in Kyoto, and the development of cosmetics is still in its early stages, so she must spend more effort. After talking on the phone with Cui Nian, Lan Shu made another call to the garment factory. Although garment factories do not go to work on weekends, there are usually workers in the factory who take the initiative to work overtime in order to get more piece-rate wages. And there are security guards in the factory, just near the gate. So Lan Shu made a phone call to the office in the yard, and it was easy to be picked up. Originally, Lan Shu planned to return to Qingyang County tomorrow, but due to the current situation, she had to go back later. The phone got through, and after asking a few words, she learned that Ah Xing was indeed in the factory! Secretary Tang is not here, so it is the same for A Xing to explain some things. Lan Shu asked A Xing about the latest situation in the factory on the phone, and after arranging the progress of future work, she was relieved. Hung up the phone, she has already considered that the garment factory also needs to elect a deputy factory director. In the future, her work will be divided between Qingyang County and Kyoto, and she will not be able to cover everything in the factory, so when she is not in the factory, the position of deputy factory director is very necessary. But who can take over so many jobs in the garment factory? Secretary Tang? Or Ah Xing? Or...Zhai Finance? Lan Shu couldn''t make up her mind yet. After she returns from Kyoto this time, find a chance to test the abilities of the three of them~! And just now, the work tasks she gave A Xing are the beginning of her first test¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, Peking University School of Medicine, in the laboratory building. Xiaobai didn''t leave school this week, because the laboratory''s heart drug research has reached the final stage. Today, their new drug was finally successfully developed! "Unexpectedly, we have been researching heart drugs for so long, and all we need are Chuanxiong and Borneol!" A senior graduate student sighed. "Since the drug has been successfully developed, let''s give it a name." Professor Zhang said. (end of this chapter) Chapter 198: Could it be that I like it? Chapter 198 Could it be liking? This new drug was researched under the leadership of Professor Zhang, so the person who should name it most is Professor Zhang himself. Seeing all the researchers in the laboratory looking at him, Professor Zhang did not take over the naming right. Because although the new drug was finally developed by him, there are other people''s credit for it. ¡ªEspecially Gu Jue who came to the lab last. Gu Jue is the researcher with the lowest education and qualifications in the laboratory, but the most important reason for the rapid success of the new drug is because of Gu Jue. Their previous research has been failing because people have too high expectations for new drugs, think too much, and add some drugs that are not necessary. It was originally intended to check and balance the properties of other medicines, but the result was that they ''drag'' each other and damaged the overall efficacy of the medicine. It was Gu Jue who proposed the method of simplifying and simplifying, which opened up his mind, so he only took a few days to overcome the problem of previous failure! Therefore, Professor Zhang decided to ask Gu Jue to name this new drug. After learning about Professor Zhang''s thoughts, all the researchers in the laboratory looked at Gu Jue who was standing in the corner of the laboratory. Usually, these seniors and sisters still boast of their high level, and think that elementary school students come to the laboratory because they have mixed qualifications. But now, the professor and tutor gave such a great affirmation to the elementary school students in the completion of the new medicine, which made them all envious and blush. Thinking about what they were like before, they are really too arrogant! I don''t know how to be humble~! As for the elementary school students who are young, they can catch up with them very quickly in ability, and now they have played such a big role in the research of new drugs, which really convinced them. "Student, the instructor asked you to name the new drug. What do you think is the name of our new drug?" Xiaobai did not expect that the right to name the new drug would fall on him. Before this, he was asked this question by a senior in the same laboratory without any mental preparation. Xiaobai subconsciously looked at Professor Zhang, "Professor..." "As I said before, the right to name is given to you. You have been in the laboratory for a long time. The situation of this drug is familiar to you, so you can name it whatever you think is suitable." Xiaobai heard what Professor Zhang said, so he stopped declining. After he lowered his head and thought for a while, he slowly raised his head to meet Professor Zhang. "The new drug has an emergency treatment effect on heart patients, so let''s call it Suxiao Jiuxin Pill." Xiaobai said. "Suxiao Jiuxin Pill..." Professor Zhang nodded upon hearing this, "That''s right, the name of the drug is very appropriate, and it allows people to know the effect of the drug immediately." Xiaobai has not been in the medical profession for a long time, and his body has not yet caught the atmosphere of those academic schools, so his thoughts and thoughts are relatively simple. That''s why his innocence and sincerity made him play a big role in this new drug research and development. The new drug is completed, the name of the drug is determined, the research results are submitted by the laboratory, and Xiaobai can finally leave the school¡ª Taking advantage of the holiday tomorrow, Sunday, Xiao Bai decided to go home and visit Lan Shu. ¡­ The next day, the weekend, Lan Shu didn''t go out. These days, she is busy with things almost every day, and there is no idle day, so she plans to lie down and rest at home today. Lan Weicheng went to the counter of the mall early in the morning, and Xu Shan was at home on weekends. Lan Xinya is also at home. In the morning, before Lan Shu got up, Xu Shan had already gone out to buy groceries. Knowing that her daughter is eating at home at noon, she must make something delicious. But Xu Shan didn''t go far when she went out, when she met Xiaobai who came to Lan''s house¡ª Today Xiaobai is wearing a white shirt, a light gray thin sweater, and black jeans. It is now the end of April, the weather is heating up, the daytime temperature is around 20, and it is not cold anymore, so Xiaobai wears less clothes than last week. Xiao Bai came, not empty-handed. He was carrying a large canvas bag, which contained the things he went to the vegetable market to buy when he left school early this morning. Originally, Xiaobai wanted to go back to his home first, but he called back in advance, and no one answered at home. Called the **** mobile phone again, only to learn that my parents are going to attend a happy event at a friend''s house in the circle today. The friend of my parents was not in Kyoto, and was transferred to the next city two years ago, so his parents rushed over yesterday and lived in a guest house near the banquet. There is no one at home, so Xiaobai can only come directly to Lan¡¯s house¡ª With so many ingredients from Xiaobaidai, Xu Shan also spared running to the vegetable market. So Xu Shan, who had just left the house for ten minutes, rushed back with Xiaobai the same way. ¡­ On the second floor of Lan''s house, Lan Xinya heard the movement downstairs in her room, she immediately opened the window of her room and looked downstairs. Looking at it, she saw Gu Cheng''s younger brother coming to the door. Seeing Gu Jue, Lan Xinya couldn''t help thinking of Gu Cheng. So she had a good weekend rest day, and all she had left was worrying! As for Lan Shu, she slept too deeply in the room, and the slight noise downstairs couldn''t affect her at all. By the time Lan Shu woke up from her sleep, washed up, and walked downstairs, it was already half past ten¡ª As soon as she walked up the stairs, she heard Xu Shan''s voice from downstairs. "I really didn''t expect the two of you to have such a good relationship before." Who is her mother talking to? In the next second, Lan Shu heard a deep, slightly hoarse and pleasant male voice. "Not only in the past, the relationship between me and Lan Shu will always be good and get better and better." Xiao Bai replied. "Xiaobai is here?" Hearing the voice, Lan Shu immediately went downstairs quickly. Sure enough, she soon saw Xiao Bai sitting at the dining table downstairs in her house, picking vegetables and chatting with her mother Xu Shan. "How long have you been here?" Lan Shu asked casually. "Not long." Xiao Bai said, got up from his seat, and looked at Lan Shu with a smile. It doesn''t matter how long he waits, as long as he can see her. The conversation between the two on the first floor was overheard by Lan Xinya who was upstairs and was about to go downstairs~! Lan Xinya was not going well in the first place, but now seeing that Lan Shu has such a good relationship with the serious young master of the Gu family, she feels even more uncomfortable! Lan Xinya found that as long as Lan Shu was in the capital, Gu Jue would rush over eagerly. The relationship between them is really so good? Lan Xinya does not believe in pure friendship between men and women. Seeing that Gu Jue is not young anymore, he and Lan Shu are so close, won''t Mrs. Wei interfere? Lan Xinya didn''t know that Wei Qiushuang not only wouldn''t interfere, but was very supportive. Wei Qiushuang was even afraid that her son was incompetent, and Lan Shu would look down on her~! Lan Xinya, who didn''t know what Gu''s elders thought, wore slippers, and walked downstairs with a ''step, step,''. She stood in her living room, looked at Gu Jue who was a few steps away, and asked on the spot, "You two have such a good relationship, don''t you like Lan Shu?" A few days ago, I was a little tired after adding updates and bursting updates. I will only update one tonight. I want to stop and sort out the outline of the following plot. In addition, thank you @ǧÇ×Á÷Ôµ@ for rewarding 100 book coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 199: what do you like about me? Chapter 199 What do you like about me? "Xinya, what are you talking about!?" When Lan Xinya''s voice fell, Xu Shan immediately stood up from her seat and interrupted her adoptive daughter''s words in surprise. What Xu Shan was worried about at first, she didn''t expect to be asked directly by Lan Xinya¡ª¡ª "Did I say something wrong?" Lan Xinya looked calm. "For no reason, you got so close to Lan Shu?" She looked at Gu Jue, as if she wanted to force him to reveal the unspeakable secret hidden in her heart. "Don''t talk about kindness, kindness has never been a bond to maintain a strong relationship. As long as that kind of relationship is repaid, it can end." Listening to Lan Xinya''s words, Lan Shu frowned. She always felt that she and Lan Xinya had nothing to do with each other. But now, Lan Xinya took the initiative to challenge her! He was about to tell Lan Xinya to shut up, but in the next second, Xiaobai spoke first¡ª "Yes, I like Lan Shu." He replied with a calm look. Such an answer made Xu Shan and Lan Xinya stunned! Xu Shan still had an expression of disbelief, thinking that the young master of the Gu family just said such words on impulse. After all, he is Mrs. Wei''s son, even if Gu Jue really had some thoughts about her family, Mrs. Wei would not agree. Lan Xinya on the side heard Gu Jue''s answer, she had the same thought as Xu Shan. But she was not like Xu Shan, just surprised in her heart. Facing Gu Jue''s confession, Lan Xinya expressed what she wanted more directly! ¡ª "Master Gu, how can you like her? Don''t you know that Lan Shu has already married someone? Do you think your family will allow you to marry a divorced woman?" "You don''t need to worry about it." Gu Jue frowned, feeling very annoyed with Lan Xinya. At this moment, he even somewhat understood why Gu Cheng regretted his marriage. Even though his eldest brother is not a good person, Lan Xinya is not a gentle and virtuous girl. At the dining table, Lan Shu frowned when she heard Xiao Bai''s words. Before Xiaobai said that she wanted to be the son-in-law of the Lan family, but she only thought of him as a young man, and didn''t take it seriously. But now, Xiaobai said in front of Xu Shan that he liked her, which made Lan Shu very unhappy! She can ignore these words, but Xu Shan, a mother, will definitely misunderstand, and even worry about herself. Lan Shu doesn''t want her family to be involved in her affairs¡ª "Xiaobai, stop talking!" Lan Shu said coldly. Hearing Lan Shu''s admonishing tone to stop him from revealing his heart, Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment. Followed by emotional loss... His affection is now clearly rejected. Even though he had been mentally prepared for such a thing, when he actually faced it, he still felt hurt inside and couldn''t accept it. But even so, he had to clarify his attitude. "Lan Shu, I''m serious. I know that I am not qualified to pursue you, so give me some more time." He looked at Lan Shu with fixed eyes, such a sincere scene made Lan Xinya who was beside him surprised and jealous! You know, Gu Jue''s identity is not even comparable to that of Gu Cheng! Mrs. Wei''s own son, but backed by the Wei family as a backer, the connections he has mastered are simply incomparable to Gu Cheng. That is, Gu Jue is unwilling to go into business like Gu Cheng, otherwise the resources around him will definitely be much stronger than Gu Cheng, and the business will definitely be much bigger than Gu Cheng! Xu Shan was also very surprised. From the surprise before to the embarrassment now. She felt that if the young master of the Gu family really had thoughts about her Shushu, then their family would definitely offend Mrs. Wei. In case Mrs. Wei gets angry with them in the future, the life of his family may not be so easy. Only Lan Shu heard Xiao Bai''s statement, and the furrow between her brows deepened. "Xiaobai, do you know what liking is? What do you like about me?" The young man''s feelings come and go quickly, and she doesn''t want to, and won''t take it seriously, to let herself sink into the impulsive emotion. In Lan Shu''s view, Xiaobai just has few opposite **** around him, and his friendship or family affection for him is misunderstood by him, and he regards it as liking. If she really believed it, she would have sunk without thinking. When Lan Shu came to this world, she never had any extravagant feelings for her, and she didn''t want to invest herself in them, which ended in embarrassment. Xiao Bai was asked by Lan Shu, he was very happy that Lan Shu was willing to listen to him, but when it came to his mouth, he was at a loss for words, not knowing where to start. What do you like about Lan Shu? Appearance, ability, or gratitude? The choices given by the first reaction in my heart let Xiaobai know that these are not expressions that I like. "I like...I just like seeing you." In the end, he could only say one sentence of the most true feeling in his heart. That''s right, he just felt happy when he saw Lan Shu. Hearing Xiaobai''s answer, Lan Shu smiled faintly. She shook her head lightly, sure enough, Xiao Bai didn''t know what liking was at all. "Stop mentioning things you like." Lan Shu said. Then she looked sideways at Xu Shan and said, "Mom, what do we have for lunch?" Obviously, she no longer intends to continue the previous topic. Seeing Lan Shu''s reaction like this, Xiao Bai''s mood became tense, and he felt heavy and uncomfortable. Lan Xinya on the side saw this scene in her eyes, and she was surprised that Lan Shu was indifferent to the young master of the Gu family''s confession. If it were her... Maybe she will be moved. After all, Gu Jue has a face that attracts attention at a glance in the crowd. His height of more than 1.8 meters will also bring enough security to the other half around him. Combined with his background and the forces behind him, Lan Xinya felt that no woman would be able to refuse Gu Jue''s pursuit. But Lan Shu didn''t respond much, and didn''t even take Gu Jue''s confession seriously. At this moment, Lan Xinya even gloated a little, so why would Lan Shu let such a good opportunity miss her? She will definitely regret it in the future! Whether Lan Shu will regret it is still unknown, but Xiao Bai has no intention of continuing to eat at Lan''s house. "Lan Shu, I''m going back first." He said, looking at Lan Shu expectantly, hoping that she could keep him. It''s a pity that Xiaobai didn''t wait for what he expected to happen. Lan Shu knew that Xiao Bai was in a bad mood at the moment, so she hoped that Xiao Bai could go back and think about it calmly. When he figured it out, he would know that he really didn''t like her. It''s just a long time together, the wrong feelings that breed between friendships. So Lan Shu nodded, "I''ll see you off." She sent Xiaobai to the gate of the yard, watching Xiaobai''s back going further and further away. Until Xiaobai''s figure disappeared from her sight. ''Alas~'' Lan Shu sighed. She said in her heart that she was not disappointed, that was a lie. After all, Xiaobai, who is so obedient and good-looking, said he likes him. But it is precisely because she has feelings for Xiaobai in her heart, and she does not want Xiaobai and her friendship to go on an irreversible path, so she decisively distances herself from Xiaobai. (end of this chapter) Chapter 200: face to face Chapter 200 Dismantling in person The weekend that was originally worth looking forward to became the most disappointing day in Xiaobai''s heart. After Xiaobai left, the Lan family and Lan Shu were not in a good mood. All of this happened today because of Lan Xinya''s talkativeness. Lan Shu really never thought of any confrontation between herself and Lan Xinya. But now, Lan Xinya makes herself unhappy, and she won''t make her happy either! Backing back to the living room from the front of the courtyard, Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya coldly. Lan Xinya was startled by such eyes, and suddenly felt a chill down her spine¡ª Lan Xinya was very clear about what she had done. She knew that Lan Shu would be angry with herself, but even if she was angry, what could Lan Shu do with herself? Soon, Lan Shu told Lan Xinya what she could do to her! "Lan Xinya, do you know why Gu Cheng dumped you?" Lan Shu spoke directly, and mentioned the sad things that Lan Xinya didn''t want to recall¡ª Without waiting for Lan Xinya to ask questions, she continued, "Talent, appearance, character, what do you have that others like?" Lan Xinya''s appearance is indeed not as good-looking as Lan Shu, not to mention her talent. At most, she has a bit of temperament, has gone to college, her adoptive parents have a good family background, and her previous gentle and kind personality. Besides, it is not too much to say that Lan Xinya has no talent. As for character, Lan Xinya''s repeated actions made Lan Shu not have a good impression of her. How can such a person have good character? Although everything is true, it really hurts one''s self-esteem to say it in front of Lan Xinya. And this is what Lan Shu wants! Besides, Xu Shan was about to say a few words to ease the relationship between the two daughters, when Lan Shu turned her head and said to her. "Mom, don''t worry about this matter. If you don''t say something, can it make Lan Xinya pretend to be stupid?" After finishing speaking, Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya again. "You and I have been wrong since we were young, no matter when you knew about it, but after I come back, you should also know that you have biological parents." "But what you do is to dislike the poor and love the rich. You stay wholeheartedly in this home that allows you to live a good life, but you avoid your biological parents as much as you can. You never think about going back to your hometown to see your biological parents." "The result is that they miss their own daughters and come to see you in the capital, but you treat them indifferently, and even despise them together with Gu Cheng¡ª" Speaking of this, Lan Shu couldn''t help being angry! She felt unworthy of Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang! They were sincere to Lan Xinya, but they encountered something inhumane, something that even their biological parents didn''t want to recognize! In the living room of Lan''s house, Xu Shan was stunned by her daughter''s words, and she even began to think deeply about what Shu Shu said. The authorities are obsessed, she and her husband have always treated Xinya as their own daughter, and treated Xinya as always, but ignored that Xinya is still a child of her cousin''s family. And Xinya really hasn''t mentioned her biological parents once for so long. Years ago, when my cousin and his wife came to the capital, Xinya really had a bad attitude. At that time, Xu Shan felt that the adopted daughter was just because she was too shy and her personality was not obvious. But thinking about it now, Xinya was indeed a little cold-hearted towards her biological parents. "I didn''t despise them!" Lan Xinya couldn''t hear Lan Shu talking about her in front of her mother, so she immediately denied it. But Lan Shu didn''t want to argue with her, and just talked about it. "It''s fine if you don''t want to go back to your own home. I''m the daughter of this family. Is there any problem if I go back to my own home? But every time I come back, you make faces with me, as if I shouldn''t go back to my own home? " Xu Shan also felt what Lan Shu said. She didn''t think much about it before, but she just thought that Xin Ya might not be used to having Shu Shu at home. But now hearing what Shushu said, Xu Shan suddenly discovered that she only cared about her adoptive daughter before, and ignored the thoughts of her own daughter¡ª That''s right, when my daughter went back to her home, she met other people making faces. In such a mood... Xu Shan only felt that her own daughter had been wronged! Xu Shan was about to comfort her child, but Lan Shu didn''t give anyone a chance to speak. "Lan Xinya, do you think I don''t know the little schemes in your mind? You have been schemed against me from the very beginning. It''s true that I''ve been divorced, but that''s my private matter, but you were the first time I met the Gu family. When people meet, say this in public, and use my embarrassment to set off your excellence?" "I didn''t mean that!" Lan Xinya still vehemently denied her intentions even though she was exposed by Lan Shu. On the side, Xu Shan remembered that when her family and Gu''s family were having dinner at the restaurant, Xin Ya accidentally told about Shu Shu''s divorce at the dinner table. At that time, Shushu didn''t seem to care. It turned out that she didn''t care, but kept the matter in her heart and pretended to be calm. Xu Shan felt sorry for her daughter immediately. And Lan Shu¡¯s words continued¡ª She met Lan Xinya''s gaze and said coldly. "People like you have no morals and no character. I ignored you before because I really disliked you and didn''t bother to talk to you. But now I''m really tired of telling you this." After speaking, Lan Shu turned her head to look at Xu Shan. She sighed and said apologetically. "Mom, I''m afraid I can''t continue to live at home. Being under the same roof with this kind of person makes me feel sick all the time." After speaking, Lan Shu didn''t bring anything, and turned around and went out the door¡ª She acted simply, and did not give Xu Shan a chance to stop her. By the time Xu Shan reacted, Lan Shu had already left the Lan family! Facing Xu Shan, Lan Xinya''s face turned red. She was humiliated face to face by Lan Shu, belittled to nothing, this is really deceiving! At first, she thought her mother would say a few words for her, but Lan Xinya found that after Lan Shu humiliated her, her mother didn''t stop her, and instead looked thoughtful! Does mother also think Lan Shu is right? Now, seeing Lan Shu leaving and her mother''s sad expression, Lan Xinya has no reason not to suspect that Lan Shu is trying to use this method to force her mother to make a choice, whether to keep Lan Shu or herself in this family. Thinking that she might leave the Lan family because of Lan Shu''s persecution of her parents, Lan Xinya was suddenly worried. In order to fight for her chance to stay, she curled her lips and burst into tears on the spot¡ª "Mom, how could she say that about me?" Seeing her adopted daughter crying, Xu Shan temporarily put her thoughts behind her. She wanted to comfort Xinya, but when she thought of Shushu going out angrily, Xu Shan felt very embarrassed. But at this time, Xu Shan didn''t think her biological daughter would leave home. She just felt that Shushu was angry for a while, and she should come back later. At that time, she will persuade Shushu again to let her calm down. She won''t force Shushu and Xinya to get along well in the future. Since the two can''t get along together, it''s fine to have nothing to do with each other. (end of this chapter) Chapter 201: complete in one step Chapter 201 One step in place But the development of the facts is not at all what Xu Shan thought. After Lan Shu left the house, the first thing she did was to dig out her pockets. Seeing that she still had more than a hundred yuan, she was relieved. Because she didn''t bring her ''big brother'' when she went out, so she left the compound where Lan''s family was located. Lan Shu first looked for a place to call Yu Yuan, the regional manager of her garment factory. Ask Yu Yuan to transfer part of the sales funds that should have been transferred back to the factory at the end of the month to himself. Because it was the weekend holiday, Finance Zhai was probably not in the factory, and it would take time to embezzle funds from the factory, so she moved the money nearby. As a large regional manager, Yu Yuan has developed more than 30 clothing stores under his hands, and the payment returned every month is at least hundreds of thousands. So when he received a call from Lan Shu and learned that Lan Shu wanted to take 50,000 yuan, Yu Yuan immediately made an appointment with Lan Shu to withdraw the money¡ª ¡­ At noon, in a restaurant near the clothing store, Yu Yuan first gave Lan Shu a cloth bag containing 20,000 yuan. Fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount, even if you take it out, it is not easy to carry fifty bundles with you. Plus Lan Shu, a young girl with so much money, is easy to attract thieves. So just to be on the safe side, Yu Yuan never took out all the money once. Even if he took 20,000 yuan, Yu Yuan asked out of good intentions, not at ease, "Director Lan, you want so much money, are you going to do something important again?" When Lan Shu was asked, she didn''t hide it, because she still needed Yu Yuan''s help for what she was going to do. "I want to buy a house in Kyoto, the location doesn''t matter, the only requirement is a big house!" Since she has decided to move out of Lan''s house, she has to find a place to live for herself. Considering that she will come to Kyoto every month in the future, Lan Shu simply decided to make a home here. Nowadays, house prices are not expensive, and you can buy a two-story small house for three to five thousand. But Lan Shu felt that since she wanted to settle down in Kyoto, she could do it in one step! The price of houses in Kyoto will rise sooner or later. She is not short of money, and it is cheap to buy now, so of course it is how big it is. Yu Yuan was very happy to hear Lan Shu''s idea of ??buying a house. If Director Lan lives in Kyoto, it will be more convenient for them to communicate in business in the future. As a native of Kyoto, Yu Yuan took the initiative to help Lan Shu find a house. "Director Lan, don''t worry, the matter of buying a house is on my shoulders, and I will help you find a house that satisfies you!" Yu Yuan spoke with great confidence. He is a businessman with a wide network of contacts, so this matter is not difficult for him. Yu held the ''Big Brother'' in his hand, and after making a few calls, he quickly asked the owner who sold the house. After Lan Shu had finished eating, in the afternoon, he took Lan Shu directly to look at the house. There are two sets of houses they want to see. One is a house located in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto, with an area of ??seven to eight hundred square meters, a small two-story building with a large yard. One set is in a courtyard house near the city center. The place is not small, about four to five hundred square meters. After hearing about the two houses, Lan Shu gave priority to the courtyard house. Because she clearly knows that the quadrangle courtyards in Kyoto in the future will cost tens of millions. It''s rare for someone to sell it now, and she will definitely take it down! The courtyard house was not too far away from them. Yu Yuan rode a bicycle and took Lan Shu into the alley in more than ten minutes, and arrived at the place. The person who wants to sell the courtyard house is a colleague that Yu Yuan met in the mall. The other party¡¯s business in Kyoto is doing well, and they are planning to open a branch in Haicheng, and urgently need funds, so they want to sell the old house. After looking at the house, Lan Shu found that although it was an old-fashioned courtyard house, the house was well maintained and basically didn''t need much repairs. It only needed to paint the walls inside, and you could live in it. Regarding this house, she nodded towards Yu Yuan in satisfaction. Lan Shu didn''t have to worry about the rest of the price, Yu Yuan directly negotiated the lowest price, the original 12,000 yuan courtyard house, and finally got it for 10,000 yuan¡ª This price was far lower than Lan Shu''s psychological price, so she traded with the seller on the same day and completed the formalities. Although she has already bought the house, the house is not empty, there are things left, and the seller needs to be given some time to move out one by one. So Lan Shu didn''t live in the new house that night, she stayed in a nearby guest house for one night. Before going to the guest house, Lan Shu and Yu Yuan made an appointment to continue looking at the house tomorrow. It is good to keep the courtyard as a fixed asset, and she is still not used to living in a courtyard, so she needs to continue to look into the matter of buying a big house. Yu Yuan was stunned when he heard about Lan Shu''s thoughts! The house bought for 10,000 yuan is not planned to live in, and you want to continue to buy other houses? Although Yu Yuan couldn''t understand it, but considering Lan Shu''s financial resources, she did have the capital to buy a few more houses. So besides the 700-800-square-meter house that Yu Yuan made an appointment to see tomorrow, he felt that with Director Lan''s worth, maybe a bigger and better house was worthy of her? So Yu Yuan made several more phone calls that night, and finally helped Lan Shu find another house. An absolute mansion! ¡ª ¡­ Lan''s house, when Lan Weicheng came back at night, he found that Shushu was not at home. He casually asked his wife, "Do you know where Shushu has gone?" But found that his wife looked strange, as if she was worried about something. "What''s the matter?" Lan Weicheng frowned slightly, and his intuition told him that something must have happened! Xu Shan saw that Shushu hadn''t come back at this time, she was very worried, so she told her husband what happened during the day in detail. Due to business reasons, Lan Weicheng spends more time with his daughter than Xu Shan, so when he learned that his daughter said that she was not going to stay at home, Lan Weicheng had no doubts about the truth of this statement! "You are confused! How can you let Shushu leave?!" Lan Weicheng was shocked and angry! He was surprised that the youngest son of the Gu family liked his daughter, but he was not angry with Xu Shan, but because of his other daughter, Lan Xinya¡ª¡ª If he hadn''t heard his daughter-in-law recount his daughter''s words, Lan Weicheng would not have noticed his family''s grievances during this period. At the beginning, he felt that Xinya shouldn''t tell about Shushu''s divorce. At that time, he also thought that Xinya just slipped her tongue accidentally, and Shushu didn''t seem to mind, so the matter passed. Later at home, Xinya made a face for Shushu, which really shouldn''t be, but seeing that Xinya went upstairs by herself every time, it didn''t affect Shushu''s eating situation, so he didn''t take it to heart. But he didn''t expect that Xinya would deliberately provoke troubles, so that the original good relationship between Shushu and the youngest son of the Gu family would be directly destroyed, and it would never go back to the past¡ª Lan Weicheng clearly knows how good the relationship between Shu Shu and Gu Jue is. In this case, Shushu should be angry! (end of this chapter) Chapter 202: mansion Chapter 202 Mansion After Lan Weicheng went through what Xu Shan said from the beginning to the end in his mind, he found that the fact was just like what Shu Shu said, the daughter he raised since childhood had been plotting against his own daughter! "Xinya turned out to be this kind of person!" Lan Weicheng suddenly had the feeling of seeing through the essence of his adopted daughter for the first time. He never expected that he would raise such a child¡ª "Where''s Xinya?" Lan Weicheng asked Xu Shan. At this moment, Xu Shan could clearly hear the coldness in his voice! Xu Shan knew that her husband was angry, and she also knew that Xinya did something wrong. Ke Xinya is her child raised by herself after all, Xu Shan is the heart of a mother, and instinctively wants to protect it. "Xinya didn''t eat at noon, and she cried for a long time in the afternoon. She is tired from crying now, so she should go to sleep upstairs." The husband is getting angry, it is better not to let the adopted daughter appear in front of him at this time. But Xu Shan didn''t expect that Lan Weicheng was even angrier when he heard this! "My Shushu is missing outside alone, and Xinya can still sleep?!" Lan Weicheng couldn''t believe that his daughter-in-law was still protecting his adopted daughter at this moment. Lan Wei felt depressed in his heart. Although he wanted to get angry, he finally restrained himself. The most important thing right now is to find her daughter, Shushu is a girl, how dangerous it is to be outside at night~! So Lan Weicheng immediately took out ''Big Brother'' from the inner pocket of his clothes and called his daughter. But after making the phone call, he heard the sound of ''di, di, di'' from upstairs. "Shu Shu didn''t even bring a phone!" Now, where should he find his daughter? Lan Weicheng was worried and sad. And Xu Shan can tell from her husband''s behavior that her daughter really doesn''t plan to go home... Xu Shan''s heart suddenly became chaotic¡ª ¡­ When Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were looking for someone to find them in the middle of the night, and the night was restless, Lan Shu relaxed in the guest house and had a good sleep. The next day, Lan Shu slept until almost nine o''clock before getting up. Downstairs, Yu Yuan has been waiting for a long time. Although she got up late, Lan Shu went nearby to have breakfast first, and then went to see the house with Yu Yuan. The 700-square-meter house in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto does have a large yard. This place looks similar to the urban-rural fringe, and a little further away, there are still people farming. And there are a lot of things planted in the yard now. Pumpkin vines against the wall, persimmon trees and walnut trees closer. The persimmon tree is not tall, about five years old, but the walnut tree has definitely been planted for more than ten years, and now the lush leaves exude the unique bitter fragrance of the walnut tree. This place is not bad for living, it feels like a farmhouse. Although the location here seems relatively remote now, it is in the suburbs. But in fact, after ten or twenty years, this place can also be included in the urban area of ??the ring. "It''s not bad here." Lan Shu nodded. Hearing what she said, Yu Yuan was relieved, thinking that it would be fine for Director Lan to like him. It''s just a pity not to visit the mansion he contacted last. It''s not too far away, I still respect Lan Shu''s meaning. "The seller of this suite is the old house of one of my customers. Now they move to the urban area, and the house is vacant." "Although this house is a bit old, it is built of red bricks and is very strong. There are no problems with the house. The main reason is that it is cheap, only 3,000 yuan." 3,000 yuan doesn¡¯t count for a house, buying a land of 700 to 800 square meters is blood money! Lan Shu didn''t hesitate, and asked Yu Yuan to contact the seller, she wanted to buy this house. After listening to Lan Shu''s idea of ??buying a house here, Yu Yuan directly called the seller and made an appointment for the transfer in the afternoon. But just as he was talking, Lan Shu said from the side, "Don''t worry about the transfer procedures. We''ll do it tomorrow. Let''s go and see the next house first." Yu Yuan, who was negotiating with the seller, was startled¡ª ? He slowly made a question mark in his heart. Next, next set? Director Lan, this is the second house he bought and he doesn''t plan to live in it? Then why did she buy so many houses? Lan Shu really doesn''t plan to live in this suite. In her opinion, this place should be tidied up and a few rooms added, so that it can be used as her cosmetics factory in the future. The production of cosmetics is different from that of a clothing factory, which takes up a lot of space, and it is about 700 to 800 square meters for the time being. Even if the scale development needs to be expanded in the future, there are still a lot of vacant land nearby. There are many farm vegetable fields not far away, and the land can be bought with money. Besides, although Yu Yuan doesn''t know what Lan Shu is going to buy so many houses, but since she wants to buy them, she can just take them to see~! The mansion he contacted yesterday is a bit far from here, but it is very close to the first courtyard house, both near the city center. The city center of Kyoto, which used to be the residence of ancient emperors, and many residences of royal relatives and relatives in the surrounding area. It is quite rare to be able to own land and build a house within the scope of these places! So after Lan Shu learned the location of the last apartment that Yu Yuan contacted, she wanted to come and see everything. But there was no time in the morning. The two had dinner in a restaurant outside. In the afternoon, they met the owner of the mansion and took them in to see the house. This is a small western-style building with an exquisite appearance, with white walls and a red roof. The house covers an area of ??about 300 to 400 square meters, but it has a large yard of nearly 1,000 square meters! Flowers, plants and landscape trees are planted in the yard, and there is a small fountain in the middle, but the water in the fountain has dried up because it has not been taken care of for a long time. Such a house can be said to have completely exceeded Lan Shu''s expectations! She couldn''t even figure it out, who would sell such a place? ! Besides, the owner of the house, about forty or fifty years old, was talking with Yu Yuan. "Wouldn''t it be this young girl who wants to buy a house?" Yu Yuan understood the reason why the other party asked, so he nodded and replied, "Yes, this is the director of our factory. Don''t worry, as long as she likes this house, she will definitely be able to afford the price." Yu Yuan still remembered that Lan Shu was going to spend 50,000 to buy a house. The previous two houses only cost 13,000, and there was 37,000. He thought it was enough to buy this house. The owner heard that the little girl is the director of the factory, so he was relieved of her purchasing power. After Lan Shu finished looking at the house, he immediately moved over. "Hello, Director Lan, my name is Lu Dong, and I am the owner of this house. You can definitely buy this suite with confidence, because my house has no choice in terms of appearance, decoration, or the environment of the surrounding garden! The key is The location is also good, there is no other hotel nearby!" After hearing what the homeowner said, Lan Shu believed what he said very much. But if she doesn''t ask the question in her heart, she won''t feel at ease buying it. So she looked at the owner and said, "Mr. Lu, hello, I want to know why you want to sell such a good house?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 203: turn up Chapter 203 found Bringing this matter up, Lu Dong didn''t hide it. "Our parents and elders went abroad a few years ago, and now they are living abroad. We couldn''t get in touch with each other before, but after the reform and opening up, we gradually regained contact." "In the past two years, our family has actually been preparing for family immigration. Not long ago, I received news that relatives abroad had already arranged everything and waited for us to pass by. That''s why I sold the house in a hurry. The children will live abroad in the future.¡± Lv Dong''s words let Lan Shu know that he didn''t sell the house because of lack of conscience. Nowadays, the environment in foreign countries is indeed better than that in China. The other party wants to go abroad and does not plan to come back in the future, so they have to sell the house. Lan Shu was very surprised that this kind of opportunity to buy a luxury house could be met by herself! ? This luck, if she hadn''t been very clear about her identity as a female supporting role in a novel, she would have doubted whether she had the halo of the protagonist in her body? So for this apartment, Lan Shu didn''t hesitate at all, and asked Lu Dong directly, "How much does Mr. Lu plan to sell this apartment for?" "Forty-five thousand." Lu Dong quoted directly. "I know that the price sounds expensive. In fact, the house is not worth that much money, but in such a location, one house is sold for less. Except for me, there should be no other people nearby who are willing to sell houses in a short time. , so the price I said is not too much." Lv Dong hoped that the house could be sold for more money, so that he would have money in his hands, and he would feel more at ease when he took his wife and children abroad. And the price he quoted, before Lan Shu had time to speak, Yu Yuan on the side didn''t agree! At first, Yu Yuan felt that the house would be more than 30,000 yuan, so he thought that Lan Shu''s remaining budget of 37,000 yuan was more than enough. But now, the other party wants to sell it for 45,000! "How can this house be worth 45,000?" Yu Yuan was dumbfounded. Then he directly paid back the price with the owner, "Uncle Lu, although your house is good everywhere, you can''t ignore the market price. It''s up to 30,000, how can you sell it for 45,000?" In this day and age, almost every family has a house. People''s pursuit of a house is to be able to live in it, and to live in it. For many people, a luxury house means a bigger place and a better-looking house, but let them spend money to buy it¡ª Sorry, I can¡¯t spend it like this if I have spare money~! So there are really not many people who spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house. Yu Yuan''s words are not unreasonable, and Lu Dong also knows that it is difficult to sell his house for more than 40,000 yuan. But for 30,000 yuan, he will never sell it! Lu Dong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Lan Shu, the owner of the house. "Director Lan, this house is really hard to come by. I''ll sell it to you for at least 40,000 yuan." Actually, this price is low enough for Lan Shu. This apartment is now tens of thousands of yuan, in the future, several hundred million will be priceless! But Yu Yuan, as Lan Shu''s introducer for buying a house, couldn''t watch his own people pay more. Without Lan Shu opening her mouth, Yu Yuan has already naturally accepted the task of bargaining. "Forty thousand is too high." He said, shaking his head at the homeowner. When Lu Dong saw the other party''s reaction, he also had a trace of hesitation on his expression. Obviously, this price is not the bottom price in his heart, and he can continue to press down! So Lan Shu watched Yu Yuan communicate with the owner for a while, and finally set the price of this suite at 36,000. Yu Yuan knew Lan Shu''s budget, so he naturally couldn''t let the house price exceed this budget. As for the matter of further lowering the price, it is really not easy to talk about. In addition, he finally accepted the price when he saw Lan Shu nodding silently. Spending tens of thousands of dollars to buy a house is a big deal. Because it took some time to look at the house in the afternoon, it is already a little late. So Lan Shu made an appointment with the owner of the luxury house, and the two will meet tomorrow at the real estate transfer office. It is very convenient to pay directly to transfer the account. ¡­ When Lan Shu was looking at houses and buying houses, the Lan family. Lan Weicheng did not go to the counter of the mall today, but looked for his daughter everywhere. But Kyoto is so big, where should he find it? Thinking of where Shushu might go, Lan Weicheng went to the TV station, to the cosmetics research laboratory, and found several guest houses. Finally, in a guest house not far from the shopping mall, he found out that there was indeed a beautiful little girl living in last night. He knew it must be his family! Although Kyoto is big today, there are not many guest houses, which is why Lan Weicheng has the opportunity to find someone. Knowing that the little girl went out in the morning, but she didn''t check out, Lan Weicheng waited in the lobby of the guest house. After waiting for half an afternoon, in the evening, Lan Weicheng finally saw his daughter walking in with a man in his twenties and thirties¡ª "Shu Shu!" Lan Weicheng called his daughter''s name, and then looked warily at the strange man beside Lan Shu. Lan Shu didn''t expect her father to find her here! Seeing Lan Weicheng is different from the usual formal dress and meticulous hair. Today, he is dressed casually, his hair is a little messy, his face is tired, and when he looks at her, he has a worried look. This made Lan Shu suddenly remember that after she left, she was so focused on looking at the house that she forgot to tell her family that she was safe. Immediately afterwards, Lan Shu saw Lan Weicheng looking towards Yu Yuan again. She was afraid that Lan Weicheng might misunderstand, so she immediately explained¡ª "Dad, this is the sales manager of our clothing factory, his name is Yu Yuan, and he opens a store in a clothing store in Kyoto." Lan Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease when his daughter said this. "So Shushu, after you left home yesterday, did you go to find Manager Yu?" Lan Weicheng asked. Lan Shu nodded and answered honestly, "Yes." "Then last night..." Lan Weicheng said, his eyes glanced at Yu Yuan who was on the side. He is not sure if his daughter has any other relationship with this Yu Yuan besides being a colleague? Lan Shu is not stupid, her father''s questioning tone is obviously a misunderstanding. "I lived alone in the guest house last night." ''Huh¡ª'' Lan Weicheng finally felt relieved. This time he looked at Yu Yuan again, his eyes no longer guarded, but with gratitude. "Manager Yu, my Shushu left home yesterday, thanks to you taking care of me." Yu Yuan waved his hand immediately when he heard about it, "I dare not take care of you!" Factory Manager Lan is so rich, he can live well wherever he goes, and he bought three houses just after leaving home for two days~! Does he need to take care of such a generous move? But Lan Weicheng didn''t believe that his daughter could live a good life alone outside. Maybe it¡¯s not unbelief, but no matter how powerful a daughter is, in a father¡¯s heart, they are all delicate and need to be taken care of. Now seeing that Manager Yu is modest, Lan Weicheng did not continue this topic. He turned his eyes and turned his eyes back to his daughter, "Shu Shu, you have been wronged these two days, go and go home with Dad." (end of this chapter) Chapter 204: Three suites Chapter 204 Three suites Lan Shu knows Lan Weicheng''s reason for coming, but let her go back... "Dad, I won''t be staying at home from now on." Lan Shu directly refused. Lan Weicheng understood what his daughter meant when he heard it. He suddenly felt very embarrassed¡ª Shushu doesn''t want to live under the same roof as Xinya, but he can''t drive Xinya out just to get Shushu back, right? Although Xinya did some things wrongly, after all, after nineteen years of raising her, her heart is full of flesh. Lan Weicheng felt that his adoptive daughter had done something wrong, so he just had to give her a good lecture, but he still couldn''t do such a thing as driving her away. "Shushu, Dad will talk about Xinya well and ask her to apologize to you, don''t be as knowledgeable as her..." Lan Shu can understand Lan Weicheng''s thoughts, and she doesn''t blame Lan Weicheng for not being willing to choose between her and Lan Xinya. If she had nothing and no one to rely on, maybe she would make a fuss about this matter and fight for every cent. But now she really doesn''t have that spare time to engage in "house fighting". Lan Shu remembers a saying that said, if you have seen the sea, you will not care about the right and wrong in the pond. Now she is in such a mood. So Lan Shu directly told Lan Weicheng¡ª "Dad, I just hate Lan Xinya unilaterally and don''t want to see her. As for whether she apologizes, it really doesn''t matter to me." "I''ve already decided to go out and live, so don''t mention the matter of persuading me to go home." Lan Shu made up her mind. When Lan Weicheng heard what his daughter said, he panicked! "Shushu, you live outside as a girl, how can your parents rest assured?" "Besides, the guest house is not a place where you usually live... You should go back with me." Lan Weicheng was very opposed to the fact that his daughter lived outside alone. But it was Lan Shu who answered Lan Weicheng, "Dad, I won''t live in a hostel all the time. I have already bought a house in Kyoto and will move there in a few days." Lan Weicheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this¡ª "Buy a house?" Although the fact that his daughter bought a house on the first day of junior high school sounded like a surprise to him, after he thought about it carefully, Shu Shu was indeed capable of buying a house. It''s just such a big deal as buying a house, and Lan Weicheng felt a little regretful that he couldn''t help. Seeing that his daughter had really made up her mind and was no longer planning to go home, Lan Weicheng sighed helplessly, and then nodded in agreement. "Okay, then when you are going to live in a new house, Dad will help you clean up the room." When it comes to his daughter, Lan Weicheng always wants to do his part. Lan Shu didn''t reject her father''s offer, she nodded and replied, "Okay." ¡­ That night, Lan Shu still spent the night in the guest house. The next morning, accompanied by Yu Yuan, she went to the real estate and land transfer unit, and transferred the house with a yard of 700 to 800 square meters in the eastern suburbs and the luxury house near the city center. As for the money for buying a house, Yu Yuan brought it over and settled the accounts with the two homeowners on the spot. In the afternoon, Lan Shu asked Yu Yuan to find someone to help her, and started to tidy up the three houses she bought in the past two days. The former owner of the courtyard house had already removed all the things in the house yesterday. He only needs to ask someone to clean it and put in new furniture. After cleaning up the weeds in the house in the eastern suburbs, Lan Shu planned to have the original upper and lower floors demolished, and after re-planning, a three- to four-story duplex building was built. As for the two persimmon and walnut trees in the yard, the persimmon tree needs to be replanted, and the location of the walnut tree should be kept in the yard of the newly built house. As for the mansion in the urban area, because the former owner wanted to go abroad, all the furniture in the house was gone, and he gave it to Lan Shu directly. Lan Shu kept some of the better ones, and almost threw them all out. After asking someone to clean it up, she bought some new sheets and quilts, and she could move in with her bags in two or three days. However, because the mansion is too big, it is impossible for Lan Shu to spend all her time on the daily cleaning of the house. So she asked Yu Yuan to help her ask if there was anyone willing to do the cleaning every day. The daily watering, maintenance, and pruning of various vegetation in the yard also require knowledgeable personnel to do it. So when she bought this house, she had to hire two workers first. Yu Yuan''s work efficiency is not low. Lan Shu found the person he wanted the next day. So on the day Lan Shu officially moved into the new house, the cleaning lady and the gardener had already arrived. ¡­ On Sunday, Lan Shu made a reservation in advance to officially move into her new home on this day. Before she promised Lan Weicheng that she would tell him when she moved, so Lan Shu called Lan Weicheng yesterday. The "big brother" in her hand is that after she was found by Lan Weicheng that day, Lan Weicheng sent the "big brother" to her the next day, and asked her to take it with her, and call him if she had something to do. After Lan Shu took over the ''Big Brother'', in order to reassure her family, she called every night to inform that she had returned to the guest house. Thinking of not having to report every night after moving today, Lan Shu is full of anticipation about living in a new house¡ª ¡­ At 8:30 in the morning, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan took Lan Xinya together and looked for the location that Lan Shu had told. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan came early to help their daughter clean up the house. When Lan Xinya was brought in, it was because the husband and wife were going to ask her to apologize to Shushu. Lan Xinya originally had no intention of apologizing, but she thought about it later, if she made her parents unhappy and fell out of favor in front of her parents, if she was firm in her attitude, then she might have a hard time in the future... Maybe one day I will be asked to leave home, maybe¡ª That''s why Lan Xinya agreed to come and apologize. Although the three of Lan Weicheng are all from Kyoto, they really don''t come here much. When looking for a place according to the street and house number, Lan Xinya looked at the surrounding houses with a view of money, she frowned, and even doubted¡ª "Dad, are you sure we didn''t come to the wrong place?" "That''s right, Shu Shu told me that the house she bought is No. 99, Chang''an Road. I found No. 87 here, and it should be not far ahead." As he spoke, Lan Weicheng continued to walk forward with his wife and adopted daughter. They didn¡¯t come empty-handed this time. The husband and wife both carried baskets containing eggs, meat, vegetables and other ingredients. When they move to a new house, they have the custom of "burning the bottom of the pot", which is to cook a meal in the new home on the same day, which means to bring happiness and wealth into the home. So Xu Shan is going to cook at her daughter''s new home at noon, and the family will get together to celebrate. Because she brought a lot of things, Lan Xinya also carried a small basket. The three of them took the bus to a nearby station, and then walked all the way. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan are in good health, so it''s not a problem with such a short journey. But Lan Xinya is different. She was spoiled by her parents since she was a child, and she never worked at all. Although the basket in her hand was the smallest and contained the fewest things, she was sweating from her tired forehead. (end of this chapter) Chapter 205: affordable Chapter 205 Affordable Lan Xinya didn''t come here voluntarily, but now that she has traveled so far and hasn''t reached the place yet, she is panting from exhaustion! This made Lan Xinya even more dissatisfied with today''s schedule! So she stepped forward quickly and came to Lan Weicheng''s side, "Dad, look at the environment here. There are rich people living here, and the houses must not be cheap. Do you think Lan Shu can buy a house here?" Of course Lan Weicheng could see the conditions of the nearby houses. The location here is good, the house is luxurious, the average person really can¡¯t afford it! Although he has been in business for more than two years and has some money, he really cannot afford to buy a house nearby. But he can''t afford it, which doesn''t mean Shushu can''t afford it~! Shushu has two factories, why can''t she buy a good house and live in it? Lan Weicheng felt that the idea of ??adopting a daughter was very wrong. In his eyes, the proud daughter was belittled by Xinya with a few words¡ª¡ª He looked at his adopted daughter and said in an unhappy tone, "Xinya, although the house here is very expensive, if it is Shushu, I believe she can buy it." After speaking, Lan Weicheng continued to walk forward, with Xu Shan beside him. Behind her, Lan Xinya had no choice but to follow. But she just didn''t believe that Lan Shu could live near here! "Ninety-nine Chang''an Road is here." Ten minutes later, Lan Weicheng stood in front of the white hollow wrought iron gate of a mansion, looked at the beautiful landscape in the courtyard, and said with a smile. The gate of the courtyard is closed, but standing outside the door, they can also see the exquisite layout of the courtyard, low and staggered green plants, flower beds, a wide courtyard, and the three-story house with white walls and red roof at the front. There is even a small fountain in the center of the yard, which is constantly spraying crystal clear water. "This is Shushu''s new home?" Lan Weicheng was a little surprised. This house is better than the houses they just saw along the way! Although he hasn''t seen his daughter appear yet, Lan Weicheng is already happy for her. Different from what he thought, Lan Xinya never believed that Lan Shu could afford such a house! "There must be a mistake!" she said. Seeing Xinya''s reaction, Xu Shan slightly sighed. Since knowing that Xinya has plans to plot against Shushu, Xu Shan has thought a lot. She understood that Xinya was jealous of Shushu, that''s why she did that. And the situation is the same now. Xinya''s jealousy makes her not think that Shushu can live so well, so she doesn''t believe that Shushu bought this house. But whether it is true or not, it will be revealed soon¡ª Lan Weicheng stood in front of the door, took out his mobile phone and called his daughter. Knowing that her parents were here, Lan Shu immediately walked out of the hall of the bungalow and headed for the gate. From a distance, Lan Weicheng saw his daughter appearing in the courtyard of this mansion at No. 99 Chang''an Road. Lan Shu walked over quickly all the way, opened the door herself, and greeted her parents. But what Lan Shu didn''t expect was that Lan Xinya also came! Seeing Lan Xinya, Lan Shu just swept her eyes lightly, and there was no other reaction. Then she said to Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, "Mom and Dad, come in." Lan Weicheng stepped into this mansion one step at a time, behind him Xu Shan pulled the stunned Lan Xinya into the door. Looking in from the gate of the courtyard, it is still not comprehensive. Walking into the courtyard, the three of Lan Weicheng can see the landscape of the entire courtyard! The vegetation here is varied and beautiful, like a garden. In the garden, there are people in overalls with large scissors, carefully pruning the green plants. "Shu Shu, that''s..." Xu Shan pointed to the gardener and asked. Lan Shu immediately explained, "Many plants in this yard are quite expensive and need a professional person to maintain them, so I hired a gardener to take care of these flowers and trees." Lan Shu walked while talking, and added, "In addition to Master Tian, ??there is also Auntie Man in the house, who comes to clean every day." Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were slightly taken aback when they learned that their daughter had hired a servant in their new house. But soon they will understand. Such a big house does need someone to clean and maintain it, so it makes sense for my daughter to hire someone to work at home. On the other hand, Lan Xinya saw that such a big house was really owned by Lan Shu, and also heard that Lan Shu''s family hired a servant, Lan Xinya was very pleased! But in such a situation, Lan Xinya couldn''t say anything, she could only swallow the jealousy in her heart, stand aside silently, just pretending that she didn''t exist. Lan Shu''s house has a very large yard, several people walked through the landscape garden all the way, and entered the western-style building. The gorgeous decoration inside once again amazed the three of Lan Weicheng! "This new house is really nice~!" Lan Weicheng said, proud of his daughter''s ability. Xu Shan is also very happy that Shushu lives well, so she can feel at ease. Only Lan Xinya was jealous and pinched her palms with nails, so she restrained her emotions and did not say any impulsive words. Lan Shu took her family to visit her three-story mansion. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, who originally planned to come here early to do work for their daughter, found that there was no work left for them to do because the cleaning lady hired by their daughter was there. After watching the house, Xu Shan and Lan Shu talked, and brought the things they brought to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Lan Weicheng took Lan Xinya to sit on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, planning to talk to his daughter. Lan Weicheng has not forgotten the reason why he brought Xinya here today. If Xinya did something wrong, she must apologize to Shushu! Although Shushu said she didn''t care, Lan Weicheng insisted. In the living room, Lan Weicheng looked at his daughter, and said first, "Shushu, we are here this time, apart from cooking the bottom of the pot for you, Xinya also has something to say to you." Lan Shu knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. Although she didn''t force Lan Xinya to apologize, but since Lan Xinya is willing, she might as well listen to it. So she shifted her gaze to Lan Xinya, "If you have anything to say, tell me." Being watched by Lan Shu, Lan Xinya just felt uncomfortable! But she promised her parents that she would apologize to Lan Shu today. But Lan Xinya didn''t expect that even though she had made sufficient mental preparations before coming here, it would still be difficult for her to say the word ''I''m sorry'' when she actually faced Lan Shu. Lan Xinya even felt that she was not wrong! She just told the truth that Gu Jue likes Lan Shu. It''s because the relationship between the two of them is ambiguous, so they have conflicts, so what do they care about themselves? Just as he was thinking, Lan Weicheng''s voice suddenly came from his ear¡ª "Xinya, why are you in a daze? Tell me quickly." Lan Weicheng was very anxious, he was afraid that something might go wrong at this critical moment. Being reminded by her father, Lan Xinya took a deep breath. She looked at Lan Shu, and said in a hoarse voice, "I''m sorry..." (end of this chapter) Chapter 206: competitor? Chapter 206 Competitor? The voice of "I''m sorry" is so small that it is almost inaudible. If Lan Shu hadn''t stared at Lan Xinya and watched her speak, she wouldn''t even be able to hear what she was saying. Lan Shu smiled faintly, and replied nonchalantly, "If you don''t want to apologize, don''t force yourself so much." Lan Weicheng listened, and immediately pushed his adoptive daughter beside him, "Xinya, please apologize." Lan Xinya didn''t want to bow her head to Lan Shu at first, she felt that she was already so humble now, but Lan Shu still refused to let her go! When she met Lan Shu''s gaze, her heart was tormented, and her anger rose. At this time, Lan Weicheng''s voice sounded again¡ª "Xinya, you promised us that you will never fight against Shushu in the future!" The words have been said so clearly, if Lan Xinya continues to be stubborn and refuses to apologize, then it will really make Lan Weicheng have a problem with her. Lan Xinya knew that now she had to make a choice, whether to apologize or let her adoptive parents be completely disappointed in her! ? Lan Xinya took a deep breath and looked at Lan Shu. "I''m sorry," she said. Although the voice of this apology was louder than before, there was no apology in the tone. Some are just Lan Xinya''s statement¡ªbecause of her parents'' request, she will no longer fight against Lan Shu in the future. Lan Shu knew that it was almost impossible for Lan Xinya to apologize sincerely, so she didn''t have any expectations from the beginning. Now it really is like this! Lan Weicheng also knew that it was difficult for Xinya to bow her head, so at this time, as a father, he immediately became a peacemaker in the middle. "Shushu, Xinya has already apologized, so don''t be angry. Although you are moving out by yourself now, if you have time in the future, you will often go home and have a look." Lan Weicheng didn''t expect his daughter to forgive his adoptive daughter, so he didn''t even mention Lan Shu''s forgiveness. He just hoped that his daughter would not even enter the house because of her adoptive daughter. Lan Shu understands Lan Weicheng''s thoughts, Lan Weicheng''s father really has nothing to say to her. So she can''t afford to be alienated from Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan in the future because of Lan Xinya. Lan Shu nodded, "I know, I''ll go home when I''m free." Although she will not forgive Lan Xinya and still hates Lan Xinya, her parents are right, and she will continue to communicate with her in the future. Hearing what his daughter said, Lan Weicheng was relieved. Father and daughter chatted for a while, and at noon, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan accompanied their daughter to have dinner at their new home. Lan Xinya is also considered sensible, knowing that she is not welcome here, so she finds a reason to leave. This place is luxurious and rich, if it wasn''t owned by Lan Shu, Lan Xinya would be more than happy to stay. But precisely because this is Lan Shu''s territory, Lan Xinya feels like she''s sitting on pins and needles, unable to stay any longer! After dinner, there is a cleaning lady at home to clean up. After talking with their daughter for a while, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan prepared to leave. Before leaving, Xu Shan took her daughter''s hand and reluctantly explained, "Shu Shu, remember to go home often when you are free, your room will always be reserved for you by your parents." Lan Weicheng stood aside and didn''t say anything, but Lan Shu could see that he was also reluctant, but at the same time he was also proud of being able to live in such a house. Lan Shu looked at her parents, nodded with a smile, and replied, "Okay." After watching her parents leave, she turned around and went back to her home in Kyoto. ¡­ Two days after Lan Shu moved into her new home, the TV station called and said that the preparations for the morning exercise program had started, and asked her, the program producer, to come and see the situation. After receiving the news, Lan Shu set off immediately. When she arrived at the TV station, she found that the yard of the TV station was very lively today, unlike before. Thirty or forty men and women wearing various kinds of fitness clothes, standing in twos and threes talking together. Lan Shu''s appearance made many people look at her in amazement¡ª Followed by scrutiny eyes... She is wearing a white powder stitched sweater, a pair of light blue jeans today, her long hair is **** high, and she looks youthful and beautiful. These clothes are all new spring clothes from her own factory. After the goods were delivered to Yuyuan''s store, she saw that she picked out quite a few of her favorites, and put them in the eight-door wardrobe in the bedroom to wear slowly. Right now when she arrived, she was stared at with strange eyes, which made Lan Shu feel a little confused. Later, in the crowd not far away, she heard a few young girls discussing in a low voice¡ª "It''s over, it''s over, the new girl is beautiful and has long legs, I can''t compare it~!" "Have confidence in yourself Xiao Yu, you are not bad, and I heard that you still have a chance to recruit three people this time!" Lan Shu noticed that the girl called Xiao Yu was really pretty. Her eyes were not big, but she had delicate features, and she had a fresh and neat temperament. Although the companions around her are about the same height as her and have good body proportions, they are slightly rounded among the crowd of people applying for aerobics actors. Such applicants are basically escorts, and she probably knows it well, so she comforts her companions, without thinking about whether she can be selected. Over there, Xiao Yu noticed Lan Shu''s gaze towards them, and Xiao Yu knew that her words were heard by the beautiful girl just now. She smiled shyly at Lan Shu, looking generous, which gave Lan Shu a good first impression of her. The chubby girl next to Xiao Yu seemed to have noticed something too. She followed her companion''s line of sight and looked towards Lan Shu. She was slightly taken aback, and then smiled innocently to show her friendliness. Lan Shu didn''t pay attention to what they said about her. She nodded towards the two girls as a greeting, and let the matter go. Afterwards, she looked around the courtyard of the TV station. Although she didn''t know what the situation was, Lan Shu felt that besides Xiao Yu, other people in the courtyard seemed to regard herself as a strong competitor? After stopping for a few minutes to listen, Lan Shu realized that today is the day when the TV station chooses actors for the show. The TV station has advertised before, recruiting aerobics actors, and the interview time is set for today. Right now, the staff of the TV station are very busy, and it took a while for Lan Shu to be noticed. Knowing that the director of the show is coming, Cui Nian immediately freed up his work, walked out of the office, and went to the yard to greet him in person. "Producer Lan, you are here." Cui Nian said, walking towards Lan Shu with a smile on his face. In the courtyard of the TV station, a group of young men and women who came to run for aerobics actors immediately looked in Cui Nian''s direction when they heard what Cui Nian, the "little leader" of the TV station, said. So they saw Director Cui walking in front of the beautiful newcomer just now. Everyone:? Producer Lan... Who are you talking about? Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the young and beautiful newcomer, nodded to Director Cui of the TV station, and replied softly, "Yes." Everyone: ...? ! (end of this chapter) Chapter 207: another chance Chapter 207 Another Chance No one thought that the girl they thought would compete with them would be their leader! Program producer! That''s whoever picks them! Different from the excitement of the applicants, after Lan Shu and Cui Nian met, there was no delay at all, and Cui Nian led them calmly to the office arranged by the TV station. The two chatted while walking, and when they got to the office, Cui Nian had already told her about choosing an aerobics actor later. "What our deputy director means is that what kind of person to choose is entirely up to you, the producer." Cui Nian said. Hearing this, Lan Shu really didn''t expect the TV station to delegate power to her in this way! The other party didn''t intend to participate in the show at all, so that I, as the producer, could live up to the name? Such a situation made Lan Shu sigh a little, people in the 1980s were really pure-minded. After the change, it''s strange that there is no capital intervention or secret decision in this kind of selection! But now that the TV station has decided not to interfere with the program, Lan Shu is naturally very happy. She and Cui Nian explained a few criteria for the selection, and then sat in the office, waiting for Cui Nian to make arrangements, and then she went to pick. To choose an aerobics actor and broadcast it on TV for audiences all over the country, besides the figure and appearance, the most important thing is whether the basic skills are solid. Nowadays, there is already the most basic aerobics in China, and people like these who apply for aerobics actors will definitely be able to do it. So Lan Shu asked Cui Nian to tell the applicants in the yard that they need to line up later and do some group exercise first. She reserved ten minutes for the applicants to let everyone downstairs warm up and familiarize themselves with the aerobics movements. Ten minutes later, the forty-two people lined up in five teams in the courtyard of the TV station, and began to do exercises following the beat of ''one two three four, two two three four'' on the radio. When the voice sounded, Lan Shu came out of the office and stood on the second floor condescendingly watching everyone doing exercises. Her perspective is quite good. She can see clearly whether everyone''s movements are standard and whether their limbs are stretched. After a period of five minutes of fitness exercises, Lan Shu found that out of the forty-two people, seven or eight of them did well. She wrote down the locations of those people one by one, and then went downstairs to pick them out. "The rest of the people can go back first." Standing in front of everyone, Lan Shu said. The TV station finally selects the three people who will record the program, and they will only be selected from these eight people. Hearing her words, the selected people smiled happily and were very excited. Those who were eliminated were both disappointed and expected. Everyone understands that when a TV station chooses aerobics actors, it must be based on merit. Not being selected can only show that they are not good enough and need to work harder in the future. After the thirty-four people left the TV station''s yard, and the remaining eight people stood in a row, Lan Shu realized that among the eight people was the Xiao Yu who had impressed her a little bit before, and Xiao Yu''s companion, a slightly fat girl. Eight people, two men and six women, with slightly different looks, but the age of these applicants seems to be around twenty years old. Especially one of the girls, who looked at most fifteen or sixteen years old, still had a green feeling on her face. It is actually not difficult to finally select three of these people. Several people have good basic skills, and the rest only need to choose between height and appearance. Three of them dance aerobics together, and there should not be too much difference in height, so among the two boys, the one with a height of about 1.75 meters was chosen by Lan Shu. The other person''s height looks about 180. There is a big gap between him and the girl, so he becomes a loser. As for the six girls, Xiao Yu has the best looks and a good height, so Lan Shu chose her without any hesitation. Another place, Lan Shu hesitated for a while. She thought that fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl had a good appearance, but her grade was a little younger. In addition, the fat girl next to Xiao Yu is also a good choice. The girl''s figure may appear to others as an accompanying character, but it is precisely because she is slightly fat, if she is doing aerobics on TV, the audience may feel more down-to-earth after seeing her. And when she gradually lost weight from a slightly fat body with exercises, and became slimmer after a few months, it would definitely attract attention, making people think that aerobics is useful, and she will lose weight after learning. The aesthetics of the 1980s is different from that of people in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, most people thought that girls were only good-looking if they were white and fat. Now, a slim body is what all girls want. Lan Shu shared her thoughts with Cui Nian, and the solution Cui Nian finally gave was¡ª "Otherwise, all four of them will be temporarily accepted. After two months of internship, we will decide which three will be left after two months?" Hearing Cui Nian''s words, Lan Shu suddenly had the feeling that Cui Nian is the future person, and he even thought of it during the internship! Although it was unexpected that Cui Nian would say that, what he said was indeed a good idea. "That''s it." Lan Shu nodded. After she announced the result of the selection, the remaining four applicants who were not selected felt disappointed to varying degrees. Because they were just one step away from being selected! But the result has been decided, they can only leave... Seeing that the four of them turned their heads to leave, Lan Shu immediately called them to stop. "Although you failed to become aerobics actors, I still have another job here. Would you like to consider it?" "What kind of job?" Out of the four of them, a girl with waist-length hair asked curiously. Lan Shu immediately explained, "I have a clothing factory, and I need to recruit clothing models, that is, to take pictures wearing the clothes made in our factory. We will use these photos to make clothing brochures, or use them to advertise in newspapers." Nowadays, there are two to three hundred sets of clothes in the clothing factory, and there is an urgent shortage of clothing models. These young men and women practicing aerobics, needless to say, are the best candidates for models. Especially the boy who is about 180 tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, he is definitely a walking hanger! That''s why Lan Shu sent out this job invitation to several people. Being on TV is a glamorous job that attracts everyone''s attention, but being on a newspaper is actually the same type of job with exposure. Since these applicants are here to apply for aerobics actors, in addition to making money, they may also have some expressive personalities. Now she is giving them other job opportunities, and it is also an opportunity that can be seen in front of others. Lan Shu thinks that the four of them should consider it. Sure enough, for the job of fashion model, after learning about the job content and remuneration, the four of them agreed without any hesitation on the spot! So there is no regret in today''s selection, it is a happy result for all. (end of this chapter) Chapter 208: Chapter 208 After the aerobics actors for the morning show are selected, the next step is the recording of the show. But before the official recording, the actors need to rehearse first. Lan Shu called Lan Weicheng and asked him to deliver a set of the best audio equipment from the tape recorder counter, as well as four Walkmans and some dynamic music tapes. Although the TV station prepared an aerobics tape, Lan Shu''s morning program did not intend to do one, two, three, four, but something with a more vigorous rhythm. It''s like the square dance that will become popular all over the country in the future. It is familiar to everyone and has a wider audience. Otherwise pure aerobics will be a little boring. What his daughter told him, Lan Weicheng immediately followed through! After more than an hour, everything has been delivered. As for Lan Shu, she also made it clear to the four selected aerobics performers what the aerobics program she was going to look like. Different from the fixed movements of the aerobics they had learned long ago, Lan Shu asked the four of them to adapt new aerobics according to the rhythm of the music. These aerobics require simple and easy-to-learn movements, and have a certain fitness effect. For example, specialized weight-loss exercises, as well as partial waist and leg thinning, etc. Hearing the request from Producer Lan, the four aerobics performers have already got together to discuss the new aerobics movements. After the tape recorder arrived, the four of them listened to the music, followed the rhythm, and began to slowly adjust their new aerobics. For the entire aerobics process, Lan Shu has detailed it in advance. Every morning, two types of aerobics will be played on the program. Each aerobics will be divided into three parts, the first five minutes of warm-up, the middle fifteen minutes of exercise, and the last three minutes of body relaxation. Deducting the commercial break between the two aerobics, the entire morning exercise program is kept within one hour. Following Lan Shu''s request, the four of them had initially completed the first set of full-body aerobics in the afternoon. During the aerobics exercise, Lan Shu asked the four of them to buckle the Walkman to the uniform belt around their waists, as a decoration, but also to promote the Walkman. Staying aside until now, Lan Weicheng, who was curious about his daughter''s work situation, finally understood her daughter''s intentions. Shushu actually planned to bring their Walkman to the TV station for publicity! With such a publicity, you only need to spend a few hundred dollars for a tape recorder, which is really worth it! Lan Weicheng knew it was right to trust his daughter! it is as expected. Compared to the publicity returns in the future, what he paid today is nothing worth mentioning. ¡­ On the second day, at the TV station, the aerobics of the four of them was still being perfected. Lan Shu gave them two days to complete two sets of aerobics. One set of whole body exercise, one set of partial weight loss. Wait two days later to pass the gymnastics acceptance before recording. While the aerobics actors were making up their own movements, working with each other, and improving the uniformity, Lan Shu went to Chen Ping and Zhou Di to see the research progress of skin care products and essential oil soaps. After looking at it, she realized that the progress of the two products was much faster than she imagined! Now essential oil soaps have started packaging, and water creams have also started bottling. The process of putting water, milk, and cream into the bottle is done in a semi-manual mode, that is, the machine is operated manually to avoid direct contact with skin care products, so as to ensure that the skin care products are sterile and can be stored for a long time. Seeing the boss coming, Zhou Di hurried to report the situation. "Boss, after the labels of our skin care products and essential oil soaps arrive in the afternoon, we can sell them directly after pasting them on." "So you can go to the counter tomorrow?" Such a speed really surprised Lan Shu! "Yes." Zhou Di nodded. That is to say, there is no cosmetics production license and no quality inspection, so the finished products can be sold directly. Otherwise, inspection and formalities will take a while. Knowing the progress of skin care products and essential oil soaps, Lan Shu decisively decided to put their pure plant water, lotion, cream and essential oil soaps on the counter tomorrow! In addition to checking the progress of the product this time, Lan Shu also had an unexpected harvest. She found that Zhou Di''s mobility is very strong! Although the outer packaging of skin care products is the plastic factory contacted by Lan Shu, Zhou Di will do the subsequent docking. So in fact, Zhou Di has contributed a lot to the progress of the product. Before this, Lan Shu never thought that apart from being a technical talent, Zhou Di was also very capable in production management. In the future, she probably doesn''t have to worry too much about product production management~ ¡­ The next day, on the third floor of Huaxia Shopping Mall, next to the original cosmetics counter of Lanjia, another counter was added. Inside are the pure plant water, lotion, cream and essential oil soap produced by Lanshu''s Lanshi Cosmetics Company. The new product has already been promoted by the sales manager Yan Juan, and it has been warmed up for more than half a month. So after the product is on the counter, people will come to buy it soon. The sales of new products are not mindless sales. After Yanjuan applied to the small boss, she got a whole set of water, milk, and cream for customers to try. Different from the singleness of the previous cream, the sales categories and effects of water, milk, and cream are clearly written on the bottle label. Moisturizing, whitening, and skin care, these few words are enough for all beauty-loving women to buy it without hesitation! The price of each set of water, milk, and cream is 18 yuan. At the cosmetics counter that day, Yanjuan brought two newly recruited tellers, and sold more than 30 sets of pure plant water cream in one day! In addition to water creams, essential oil soaps are also very popular. A variety of essential oil soaps with different colors and aromas, each soap has different cleaning and skin care effects. Ordinary soap costs one piece and two pieces. The price of essential oil soap ranges from two to two five pieces. Even if the price is higher than that of soap, the sales volume on the first day exceeded 40 yuan. After the shopping mall got off work in the evening, Lan Shu came to the counter to check the sales situation, and found that the sales of water cream and essential oil soap on the first day were nearly 800! This is only the first day, it is a working day, and many customers have not received the news yet. Lan Shu knows that during the explosive sales period in the next few days, her skin care products and essential oil soaps will sell more! ¡­ At the cosmetics counter on the third floor of Huaxia Shopping Mall, there was news that Lan''s pure plant skin care products and essential oil soaps were being sold. It took only two days for the women to spread word of mouth, and it became known to many people. "You haven''t heard of Lan''s plant skin care products, have you?" "Of course I know! The essence water is easily absorbed by the skin, and the lotion is very moisturizing." "Yes, yes, the cream is easy to spread on the face, and the smell has a light fragrance, which smells good~!" Many girls and ladies from good families became the first users of plant skin care products. (end of this chapter) Chapter 209: Chapter 209 "Apart from skin care products, have you bought essential oil soap?" "The teller said that rose soap nourishes the skin. I don''t know if it''s true, but after washing my face, my skin smells like roses!" "Lemon essential oil soap is also very useful, the cleaning effect is obvious, and the face is very refreshing after washing!" "I bought goat milk soap. It is said that long-term use will have a good whitening effect. After washing my face, my skin feels much softer~!" ¡°I also use it. Aloe vera essential oil soap is paired with water cream. After using it, my skin feels moist and comfortable all day long.¡± Women working in some government agencies have also become consumers of Lan''s skin care products through word of mouth. "The essential oil soap with the fragrance of milk and flowers is whitening and moisturizing. I bought two pieces directly, one for myself and one for my mother." "I also bought it for my partner, my partner likes it very much¡ª" "..." On the cosmetics counter, the sales of water cream and essential oil soap broke the thousand mark on the second day, and the total daily sales reached more than 1,300 yuan on the third day. On the fourth day, the half-page advertisement that Lan Shu bought from the newspaper was finally published. The sales were around 1200 on that day, and broke 2000 directly the next day! From the beginning of the sale, the sales in five days exceeded 6,000 yuan¡ª¡ª When Lan Weicheng heard the news, he was shocked! He didn''t expect that the added cosmetics counter sold skin care products and essential oil soaps, and the sales could directly catch up with his most popular Walkman counter! Moreover, the profit of cosmetics is much larger than that of Walkmans. Shushu said that the purchase price for him is 20% lower than others, so after deducting the purchase price from the sales of 6,000, Lan Weicheng can earn at least around 2,000! This is still five days of sales. If calculated according to this, he can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month just for the skin care product counter! Lan Weicheng has been in business for more than two years, and has only saved a total of 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. During the Chinese New Year, he gave his daughter 10,000 yuan as a lucky gift, and later he bought a mobile phone for his daughter, which cost a little over 10,000 yuan. Lan Weicheng felt that he had spent more than half of his net worth on his daughter, which was already a lot. But now, he found that the income his daughter brought him, the 20,000 yuan was just the profit of his small counter for two months¡ª After all, he was still stingy, so he spent so little money on his daughter... So when the sales of cosmetics counters were increasing day by day, although Lan Weicheng was happy, he was also worried. What else can I buy for my daughter? This matter became Lan Weicheng''s thoughts that would appear in his mind every day. But before Lan Weicheng bought something for his daughter, Lan Shu had already bought a ticket back to Qingyang County, and left Kyoto temporarily¡ª ¡­ A day ago, Lan Shu received a call from the toilet paper factory. Deputy Director Zhu said that the assembly line production machine for the small bag paper has been manufactured. Linjiang City Machinery Factory will send the machine over in the next two days. It is not a small matter for the new machine to start work in the factory. I asked her if she had time to come back to unveil the new machine. Lan Shu felt that it didn''t matter whether she went or not. But thinking that she has been away from Qingyang County for a while, almost a month from mid-April to mid-May, it is time to go back and pay attention to the situation in the factory. In addition to what she told A Xing at the garment factory, now that half a month has passed, she should also go back to understand the situation in the factory. The most important thing is, who will be the future professional manager of the garment factory? Lan Shu intends to make a decision as soon as possible. Fortunately, the morning aerobics program on Kyoto TV has been recorded. During the days when the sales of skin care products and essential oil soaps were booming, she went to the TV station every day to check and accept the new aerobics compiled by aerobics actors. Then let the videographer in the station record the two kinds of aerobics separately. So after nothing happened in Kyoto, Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County with peace of mind. The train drove for about ten hours before arriving in the city, and Lan Shu went to the bus station non-stop, and took the shuttle bus back to the county. When I arrived in Qingyang County, it was already the morning of the next day. Although the car was very tiring, Lan Shu rushed to the toilet paper factory immediately. While in the car in the morning, Lan Shu also received a call from Secretary Qu, saying that the assembly line production machine for the small package paper officially entered the factory this morning! Since she, the factory director, is back, of course she has to go to see the situation. ¡­ When I arrived at the factory, it was already half past ten. In the guard room at the gate of the factory, the security personnel responsible for guarding the gate hadn¡¯t seen the factory manager for a long time. Seeing the factory manager Lan coming now, he immediately got up from his seat and shouted in a respectful tone¡ª "Director Lan, you are here." Lan Shu nodded to the security guard in the duty room, and then walked into the factory. Because it was working hours, the workers in the factory were all working in the workshop, so Lan Shu didn''t see a few workers outside. It wasn''t until she walked near the new workshop where the new machines were placed that she saw a few people around the workshop door. "The new machine is too big! It took Linjiang City Machinery Factory two trucks to complete a set of machines this time!" "I heard that the machine this time is an assembly line project. It doesn''t need too many workers, and the machine can do the work itself." "Really? I don''t believe it!" "It''s true. This time the factory recruited dozens of workers instead of the last time. This time, it recruited twelve people. I heard that it is enough to work on the new machine." When Lan Shu came, she heard a few old workers in charge of producing toilet paper talking in front of the workshop door. When a new machine arrives in the factory, new workers will not be used. Instead, the new workers will be sent to the workshop on the toilet paper roll side, and other old workers will lead them to work. A few old workers from the roll and toilet paper workshop were allocated to work on the new machine. Firstly, the old workers work neatly, and secondly, they can accept new things faster than newcomers with no relevant work experience, so this arrangement has always been made in the factory. At this moment, Lan Shu could tell at a glance that these old employees were selected to work on the new machine in the future. "Why didn''t you go in?" Lan Shu asked casually after approaching. Several old workers heard the voice, turned around and saw Director Lan who hadn''t seen him in the factory for a long time. "Director Lan, you are here!" Several people greeted Lan Shu one after another. Then one person said. "At the moment, the workshop is full of people from Linjiang Machinery Factory. I asked just now, and they said that it will take some time to install the new machine, but it will definitely be installed before noon." Lan Shu nodded when she heard this. It seems that she is not too late today. "I''ll go in and take a look first." Lan Shu said, walking into the workshop. Seeing this, several old employees behind him also followed. It¡¯s rare for ordinary workers like them to see the factory manager, so they follow the factory manager at this moment and get acquainted with each other. If the opportunity is missed, it¡¯s gone~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 210: leadership speech Chapter 210 Leadership Speaking Entering the workshop, the lights inside are bright. In the 700-800-square-meter workshop, more than a dozen workers wearing overalls from the Linjiang Machinery Factory are installing new machines. Among the workers of the machinery factory, Lan Shu met He Sunan, the designer of the assembly line machine. At this moment, He Sunan is sweating profusely around the assembly line machines, checking the assembly details of each machine to ensure that the machines can run smoothly after assembly without any mistakes. Lan Shu followed a group of five or six factory workers into the workshop, and immediately attracted the attention of the machinery factory workers. Some of them had seen Lan Shu before, so they quickly recognized Lan Shu''s identity. "Director Lan, you are here." A worker from a machinery factory greeted him friendly, and this voice made He Sunan look up from the state of concentrating on his work, and look towards Lan Shu. "Director Lan!" He Sunan said, put down what he was doing, and walked directly towards Lan Shu. Now that the production of the assembly line machine is completed, he is very excited! For He Sunan, this is simply a big step forward in the machine manufacturing industry! And all this is because of the ideas brought to him by Director Lan, which allowed him to design the machine smoothly but not manufacture it. So seeing Lan Shu at this moment, He Sunan just wanted to share his excitement with Director Lan immediately! "Director Lan, the assembly line will be assembled later, please give me your guidance." From the idea of ??machine operation provided by Director Lan, He Sunan can see that Director Lan has a lot of ideas for such a machine. Her idea is whether the machine is qualified in the future, and whether the future needs to be improved is the key! Lan Shu could hear that what He Sunan said was not polite words, but a genuine humility to ask for advice, so she nodded and replied, "Yes." Of course she will check and accept the new machine. If there is any problem, she will send the machine back for rebuilding without hesitation! Besides, other workers in the machinery factory heard the conversation between He Gong of their factory and Director Lan. Some people think that Director Lan, a layman in machine manufacturing, is not too arrogant? He Gong was just saying something politely, but did she really take it seriously? After the machine was turned on and started to work, they realized that Director Lan was not a layman¡ª She carefully inspects every operation step of the assembly line machine. New type of toilet paper, she will provide opinions on rough grinding of materials, cooking and heating, pulp tank, rinsing, manufacturing, drying, embossing, cutting, folding, and final bagging. For example, the drying process is not evenly heated, and some papers are not smooth enough. Fortunately, the paper will be ironed again during the embossing process later, and the subsequent cutting can be more automated, instead of manual semi-automatic operation now. The subsequent folding steps require manual operation of the machine, and the same goes for bagging. So this production line is actually very basic, and it is somewhat different from what Lan Shu expected. After listening to the inspection results of Director Lan, He Sunan already has a direction for the improvement of the assembly line machines! "Master Lan, do you still need to purchase such an assembly line machine in your factory? I guarantee that the next new machine will be far more automated than the current one! Try to make you satisfied!" The price of this assembly line is already quite high, and it cost the factory more than 12,000 yuan. In fact, Lan Shu is not in a hurry to buy a new machine. But hearing that He Sunan was so confident, after a little thought, she nodded in agreement. "Then our factory will order another set." Lan Shu said. The speed of one machine will definitely not be enough in the future for the production of small bags of paper. Anyway, we will order new machines in the future. It is better to fulfill He Sunan''s enthusiasm now. Let him work hard to design and manufacture better machines. If He Sunan''s level reaches the standard, Lan Shu will consider handing over more difficult machines to Linjiang Machinery Factory for design and manufacture in the future. such as sanitary napkin production machines¡ª Lan Shu feels that domestic machinery factories also need room for growth, and their factories cannot always rely on foreign machinery factories to provide machinery in the future. The main research energy of those large foreign manufacturers in machine manufacturing will definitely not be put on sanitary napkin machines. For them, the sanitary napkin production machine is just a foil project in those big factories, and it does not have too high technical content. So if the design and manufacturing level of He Sunan and Linjiang Machinery Factory can be achieved, and the toilet paper factory needs new machines in the future, she will hand over to He Sunan to design and manufacture. Hearing that Director Lan decided to place the order so easily, He Sunan had a faint feeling that Director Lan agreed so happily because he was eager to improve the new machine. So He Sunan, who takes money to do things, actually feels grateful to his employer. Finally, when the inspection of the machine was over, He Sunan stayed in the workshop to teach the workers in the toilet paper factory how to use the machine, while Lan Shu walked out of the workshop. The sun is just right outside, and the temperature on the body is obvious, and the air gradually feels like summer. Lan Shu looked down at the time on her wrist, it was past three o''clock. From morning until now, she hasn''t eaten a single bite. I didn¡¯t feel like I was busy just now, but now that I¡¯m free, I¡¯m suddenly hungry¡ª At this moment, the restaurant outside is past lunch time, so Lan Shu can only go to the canteen in the factory to see if the canteen master cooks something for her. Besides herself, the dozen or so workers in the Linjiang Machinery Factory were so busy that they didn''t have lunch yet. So when she arrived at the cafeteria, she did not forget to tell the master chef in the cafeteria to ask him to cook more meals. After a while, wait for the workers in the machinery factory to finish their work, and call them over for a bite to eat. The master chef in the cafeteria was recruited by Deputy Factory Director Zhu. It is said that he worked in a state-owned restaurant before and his craftsmanship is good. Knowing that Director Lan came to eat, Chef Zhang made beef noodles. The noodles are just ready to be used at night, and the beef is also fresh out of the pot. Master Zhang cut several pieces into the bowl and put them in the bowl. Lan Shu drank a bowl of noodles and half a bowl of soup. The slight cramping feeling in her stomach finally disappeared because of the space. After eating, Chef Zhang immediately came out from the back kitchen, stood by the table and asked with a smile on his face, "Director Lan, have you finished eating? How do you like the taste? Is there any guidance for improvement?" Lan Shu was slightly taken aback by this typical situation where subordinate employees seek advice from leaders. But she quickly realized that she is the leader~! So following Chef Zhang''s words, Lan Shu gave a few leadership speeches. The main thing is to ask whether the daily work in the cafeteria is hard, and whether it is necessary to recruit more people. As for the profitability of the cafeteria, Lan Shu didn''t ask, Secretary Qu would know more about it. The canteen of their toilet paper factory is not outsourced. The canteen chef and the back kitchen staff who cut vegetables, wash vegetables, and wash dishes are directly paid by the factory. Therefore, the canteen inside the factory is also profitable for the factory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Usually, the cafeteria provides a variety of meals for breakfast, lunch, and lunch. The workers in the factory can eat whatever they want, and the price of each meal is different. The cafeteria was opened just to facilitate the workers in the factory to eat nearby, and it was cheaper to eat in the cafeteria than outside. So the internal canteen in the factory has become the place where more than 95% of the workers in the factory eat. When asked by the factory manager at this time, Chef Zhang answered immediately. "Director Lan, don''t worry, we have enough manpower in the cafeteria. If there is a real shortage, I will report the news and you are watching the arrangements." Lan Shu nodded. Then she brought up the food situation of the migrant workers at the city machinery factory again. "Later, send someone to workshop No. 7 and call the workers from the machinery factory over for a meal." "Remember not to collect meal tickets. How much they eat, just reimburse the account to the finance side. They have been busy working for our factory for a long time, so they should treat them to a meal." "Okay, don''t worry, Director Lan, I''ll take care of this matter~!" Chef Zhang replied. After Lan Shu finished explaining here, she walked directly towards her office. ¡­ Tissue paper factory, in the factory director''s office. Secretary Qu has long heard that the director Lan is back, but the director has gone to the new machine workshop and won''t be able to get out for a while. Later, I heard that Director Lan had gone to the cafeteria, so Secretary Qu didn''t bother. Originally, he planned to wait for Director Lan to finish his meal before he would go there. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to go out, he saw Director Lan coming¡ª "Director Lan, you''re back." Secretary Qu said, getting up from his seat and looking at Lan Shu. Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Yes." Then she entered the door, sat on the chair behind her desk, and looked up at Secretary Qu. Lan Shu did not delay, and directly asked Secretary Qu about the latest situation in the factory. "Originally, when the new machine arrived at the factory today, Deputy Director Zhu was going to go there, but unfortunately, Deputy Director Zhu took the train to Haicheng yesterday afternoon, and he wanted to sell it to dozens of companies in Haicheng. Manufacturers of sanitary napkins and toilet paper rolls have a meeting to talk about future product sales." "Deputy Director Zhu knew you were coming back today before he left, so he was relieved to leave." Secretary Qu first explained the situation of Deputy Factory Director Zhu before talking about the current development of the factory. "Now our factory has a total of 763 cooperative product sales stores in six provinces. Among them, the three first-tier cities, Kyoto, Yuanping and Haicheng, have more than 50 cooperative stores." "Last month, the total sales of the factory was 570,000. After deducting the cost price, the gross profit was about 190,000. The net profit is still being calculated by the finance side, and it is expected to be about 120,000." When reporting the price, Secretary Qu was really proud. The factory makes a net profit of 120,000 yuan a month, and more than one million yuan a year! Besides, since the roll toilet paper in the factory was advertised on TV recently, there are more and more cooperative merchants, and the sales in the factory will continue to get better and better in the future. At that time, the annual profit of the factory may exceed two million! ? Secretary Qu was thinking, how many factories in China can achieve such an annual income? Unfortunately, not to mention the domestic market, the monthly profit of Yunshu Clothing Factory not far from the toilet paper factory in Qingyang County can exceed the income of the toilet paper factory. Because the profit of toilet paper is small, only sanitary napkins can make some money, otherwise the income situation of the factory will be worrying. Although the garment factory is not as good as the toilet paper factory in terms of scale and number of workers, the profit of the garment industry is much higher than that of toilet paper and sanitary napkins. Not to mention the last month, Lan Shu knew no less than 250,000 yuan in profit from mid-March to mid-April! So Lan Shu won''t ask if the toilet paper factory will buy a car for the time being, but for the garment factory, she will definitely settle the car purchase when she comes back this time. After listening to Secretary Qu''s report, Lan Shu asked about the sales of rolled toilet paper in the past two weeks. After the TV commercials, the hot sales period of roll paper toilet paper has indeed ushered in. Now the factory is working overtime to produce roll paper toilet paper, but there is no stock in the warehouse. Basically, it is produced on the same day, and the trucks for transportation are already waiting to take the goods away and send them to cooperative stores in various places. "The factory has now begun to recruit workers again. This time, it is expected to recruit 60 workers, who will be invested in the next new roll paper and toilet paper production workshop." When Secretary Qu said this, Lan Shu interrupted and asked¡ª "How many paper winding machines have been newly ordered by our factory and the city machinery factory?" "Three units have already been delivered, and it is said that the remaining twelve units will take another month to complete." Secretary Qu replied immediately. Lan Shu nodded when she heard this. Although their factory is in a hurry to use the paper winding machines, the City Machinery Factory can build twelve paper winding machines a month, and the work efficiency of the other party is not low. Lan Shu didn''t know that the Municipal Machinery Factory had opened a ''green channel'' in order to speed up the production of more than a dozen paper winding machines. All departments of the whole factory give priority to the production of parts related to the winding machine, and other orders are placed in the back, so as to achieve such a result. The machine will be less hated when it is used, Lan Shu only realizes it now. So in order to prevent the factory from failing to supply goods for sale in the future, Lan Shu decided¡ª "After the remaining twelve paper winding machines are delivered, I will place an order with the Municipal Machinery Factory for ten more." Lan Shu said. "Okay Director Blue." Secretary Qu replied while recording the decision of the factory director in the work memorandum book in his hand. After dealing with the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu has to go to the garment factory. Looking at the time, it was less than five o''clock, and the garment factory was still off work. So she explained to Secretary Qu and left the office. But she had just walked out of the door of the toilet paper factory, and was about to go in the direction of the garment factory, when the ''Big Brother'' rang suddenly in the bag she was carrying. Picking up the phone and putting it to her ear, Lan Shu just said, "Hello." Then she heard Lan Weicheng''s excited voice from over there. "Shushu, the cosmetics counter sold more than 3,000 yuan yesterday! Although it''s not time for get off work today, it''s already sold more than 2,000 yuan!" Lan Weicheng called, not only to tell his daughter the good news, but also because he missed her daughter''s time in Kyoto... It''s a pity that my daughter can''t come back for at least half a month. When Lan Shu heard the news, she was very calm. "When making money, don''t forget to check out with the cosmetics company regularly, otherwise there will be a lack of raw materials and products that cannot be produced, and it will be troublesome." Before Lan Shu left Kyoto, she left Zhou Di 5,000 yuan as funds for purchasing raw materials. She would have to stay for a month when she returned to Qingyang County this time, and she was a little worried that there would be no care of her in the capital. So while she was talking to Lan Weicheng about closing the payment, she was also asking Lan Weicheng to take care of her small company. (end of this chapter) Chapter 212: Liu A Xing Chapter 212 Liu Axing Actually, Lan Shu doesn''t need to explain this matter, Lan Weicheng is very concerned about it! Daughter''s cosmetics company is related to his cosmetics counter supply and making money~! "Shu Shu, don''t worry, the counter will settle the bill with the company on Monday to ensure that the company has sufficient funds!" With Lan Weicheng''s words, Lan Shu feels at ease. She even considered that if Zhou Di manages the cosmetics company well in the next month, when she goes to Kyoto again, Zhou Di should be promoted. After talking on the phone with Lan Weicheng, Lan Shu continued to walk to the garment factory. Her bicycle is in the clothing factory, so she can only walk there at the moment. Fortunately, the toilet paper factory is not far from the garment factory, and it only takes ten minutes to walk there. ¡­ In the clothing factory, before entering the workshop of the independent courtyard, I heard the sound of sewing machines turning intensively. Now the clothing factory has two large workshops in the machinery factory next door besides the workshop it originally bought. The big workshop is the working workshop, the office of the garment factory, or it is located in the courtyard of the workshop. Lan Shu didn''t come to the factory for almost a month. After this, she found some new changes in the courtyard. In the small courtyard before, there are two bungalows on the west side, one is an office and the other is a guard room. Now the guard room has been vacated and has become the financial office. Lan Shu entered the gate and saw that the door of the accounting room was closed. Through the glass window, she could see Zhai Finance leaning over the desk full of financial statements, bowing his head and devoting himself to work. And on the left side of the gate, that is, on the east side, a small bungalow was built. Two security guards on daily duty are sitting by the glass window of the small room, responsible for registering people entering and leaving the garment factory. Seeing Director Lan coming back, the security guards didn''t dare to stop him. The two immediately got up from their seats and greeted in unison, "Director Lan." Lan Shu nodded, entered the door and walked towards her office. At this time in the office, Secretary Tang was on the phone. "...Okay, let''s send 20 pieces of each style first, a total of 64 styles, and they will be shipped tomorrow morning, and they are expected to arrive before evening....Well, yes." Putting down the phone, Secretary Tang looked up and saw Lan Shu coming back. During the phone call, Secretary Tang was still calm and in charge of the overall situation, but now seeing the real backbone of the factory, she can finally breathe a sigh of relief¡ª "Director Lan, you are back." As Secretary Tang said, she took out a stack of manuscript papers recording various data from the drawer of her secretary''s desk, and was about to report to work immediately. But Lan Shu was not in a hurry to hear the sales data in the factory, but asked first¡ª "How are the staff dormitories, warehouses, and canteens built on land near the factory going?" Hearing this question, Secretary Tang was stunned for a moment~! From her expression, Lan Shu could tell that Secretary Tang hadn''t paid attention to the construction of the staff dormitory recently. So Lan Shu didn''t continue to ask. "Then let''s talk about the development of the factory in the past month." When asked about the scope of work, Tang Chu answered immediately. "This month, the total sales of the factory reached 543,621 yuan, the gross profit is about 300,000 yuan, and the net profit is being calculated by Zhai Finance, and it is estimated to reach about 270,000 yuan..." Secretary Tang''s work report is very detailed, and she also understands the progress of daily work in the factory very clearly. She is a qualified secretary. It''s just that Lan Shu originally thought about asking Secretary Tang to go up a promotion. But now it seems that Secretary Tang is only engrossed in doing her job well, and doesn''t pay attention to other developments in the factory at all, so she is not suitable to be a deputy factory director with an overall view. After listening to Secretary Tang''s report, Lan Shu nodded. Then she asked casually, "Where is Ah Xing at the moment?" Lan Shu asked Liu Axing, who was in charge of the production of the workshop, which workshop he was in. Secretary Tang thought about it for a while, and then replied, "Ah Xing should be at the big workshop at this time." "Yes, I see." Lan Shu replied, and then told Secretary Tang to keep busy. Lan Shu herself left the factory, rode a bicycle she hadn''t used for a long time, and walked towards the big workshop. ¡­ At this time, it was located in the yard of the machinery factory, in the large workshop of the clothing factory that was enclosed separately. Lan Shu parked her bicycle at the door, then entered the factory through the side door, and went directly to the large workshop. The garment factory has two large workshops here. To know where Ah Xing is, you just need to ask the security guard at the gate of the workshop. There are more security personnel here than in the independent courtyard workshop. There are two people at the gate, and one person at each workshop entrance. After all, it is in the same yard as the machinery factory. Even if the two factories are separated by a courtyard wall, it is safer to add more security personnel in the era of no surveillance. The two large workshops are not far apart. After Lan Shu asked, she walked directly towards the No. 2 large workshop. Just when she was about to enter the door, she saw Liu Axing coming out of the workshop. Liu Axing is twenty-one years old this year. She is small and looks younger than her age, but she is capable. When there was only one workshop in the factory, Liu Axing, as the management team, made daily purchases, shipments, and arrangements properly. Now there are two more workshops in the factory. Although the large workshop is not full of workers, there are dozens of people in each workshop. The workload of managing three workshops at the same time is not low. Half a month ago, Lan Shu called the factory. In addition to asking Liu Axing to help her tell Secretary Tang that she had taken 50,000 yuan from Yu Yuan in Kyoto, she also told Liu Axing that thing. She asked Liu Axing to find management personnel in the factory. In the future, each of the three workshops will have a supervisor, who will be responsible for the management of employees in the workshop, as well as the assignment of tasks, clothing shipments, and so on. And Liu Axing is the management supervisor, and is responsible for fabric selection and purchase. Seeing the factory manager returning to the factory, Liu Axing first greeted Lan Shu, and then before Lan Shu could ask, she first mentioned one thing¡ª "Factory Director Lan, someone came to our factory to apply for a designer last week. I asked the other party to prepare the design drawing first. The other party handed over the design drawing yesterday. I thought it was pretty good after reading it. I''m waiting for you to come back and take a look." Lan Shu nodded when she heard this. The factory has been recruiting fashion designers, but there are not many applicants. Now there are only three designers in the factory, and the clothes they design are relatively conservative. Modifications can be finalized. So if a good designer comes to apply for the job, the factory is of course willing to accept it. but¡­ "Don''t worry about the designer''s affairs. I want to ask how the staff dormitories, warehouses, and canteens funded by the factory are doing recently?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 213: reason for nostalgia Chapter 213 Reasons for nostalgia Liu A Xing was asked and answered immediately. "The workers'' dormitory has been built in three rows. There are twelve rooms in one row. It is divided into two floors. Now the first row has been built, and the second row has been poured the day before yesterday. Now the third row should be ready in three or four days. It can be poured on the first floor.¡± "The staff canteen is also under construction. It is estimated that the masonry work will be completed in half a month, and the doors and windows will be customized later." "The warehouse will not start until the construction of the staff dormitory is completed." Liu Axing knew very well about the self-built staff dormitory and canteen in the factory. That is something that benefits the workers in the factory. Once the dormitories are built, the workers in the factory who are not in other places will be able to live more comfortably. Hearing Liu Axing''s answer was beyond Lan Shu''s expectation. She nodded, and then explained, "Put the designer''s design draft on my desk before leaving get off work." After finishing speaking, she asked about what she had told A Xing before, "Is there any suitable candidate for the supervisor of the three workshops?" In this regard, Liu Axing also gave an answer. "Since the number of workers in the factory has increased, in order to facilitate management, I have divided the work teams into groups of ten, and they make clothes of one style at the same time, so there are more than a dozen team leaders in the factory." ¡°Recently, I observed the factory for a period of time and found that several team leaders could be considered supervisors.¡± ¡°Among them, Wen Xin, Liu Rong, and Yao Qin are the best in managing their respective groups. Wen Xin and Yao Qin still went to college, and Liu Rong also graduated from high school.¡± Speaking of academic qualifications, Lan Shu obviously felt that Liu Axing had some strange emotions. That''s envy, and... a little inferiority complex. Lan Shu knew that Liu Axing had only graduated from elementary school and hadn''t even finished junior high school. Liu Axing was the first batch of workers recruited in the factory. At that time, the factory was not as big as it is now, but a small workshop. At that time, when Lan Shu was choosing a non-working position among several sewing girls, and was responsible for the outfield work of daily purchase and delivery, Liu Axing stepped forward. At that time, the salary of that job was not as high as that of a sewing girl, but Liu Axing did not hesitate. Now it seems that Liu Axing can reach this point. Apart from her choice at the beginning, she also has the ability in this area. Lan Shu didn''t feel that Liu Axing''s lack of a diploma was a deduction for points. In this era, diplomas are not particularly important. If Liu Axing is willing, she can learn more knowledge through evening classes in the future. Lan Shu listened to Liu Axing tell the situation of the three people she recommended one by one. Wen Xin and Yao Qin are the same group of workers who were recruited to the factory, and they have been working in the factory for more than four months. The two work well on weekdays. After leading the group, they can lead the group to complete the work ahead of schedule every time. As for Liu Rong, although her academic qualifications are not as high as Wen Xin and Yao Qin, her ability to lead a team is very strong. In the group led by Liu Rong, the work completion of the female workers has always been overfulfilled, and the monthly salary of each person is ten to twenty yuan higher than that of other groups on average! After learning about the situation of the three of them, Lan Shu also had some considerations in her mind. Afterwards, she explained to Liu Axing, then left and went around the construction site. After more than ten minutes, Lan Shu saw it with her own eyes. It was really like what Liu Axing said, the staff dormitory was almost built. The progress of the cafeteria is also advancing under the enthusiastic work of dozens of masons¡ª The location reserved for the construction of the warehouse a little further away has not been moved, but the nearby weeds have been removed, and it looks like it is waiting to start construction. When Lan Shu returned to the factory, she was still thinking about Liu Axing''s work situation. She did pay more attention to the affairs of the factory than Tang Chu did. Although Ah Xing didn¡¯t have a diploma, and Tang Chu was a veritable college student, Lan Shu would be more inclined towards Liu A Xing if he was the candidate for the deputy factory director. But before deciding on the candidate for the deputy factory director, she still needs to investigate Zhai Finance. Finance Zhai''s strict personality is really suitable for finance, but she will still give it a chance to be promoted to factory manager. ¡­ In the clothing factory, a farce is being staged at this time. Zhai Finance, who had been working hard behind closed doors, was standing in the yard of the factory. There were several finger prints on the side of his face, and half of the glasses on the bridge of his nose were broken. "Zhai Xue! You just want to stay in this small factory, don''t you? Are you coming back to the city with me?" A woman in her thirties angrily pointed at Zhai Finance''s nose and shouted loudly! "What can I do when I go back? Can someone show the gate?" Finance Zhai lowered his head, his eye circles were a little red, he didn''t know if it was from anger or from the pain on his face. The woman is Zhai Finance''s daughter-in-law, named Luo Qiaolan, from Linjiang City. Luo Qiaolan married Zhai Xue for nine years, and gave Zhai Xue two sons, the eldest son is eight years old, and the youngest son is only three years old. She usually takes care of the children at home, does not have a job, and has always been a man to support the family. Before Zhai Xue''s job transfer, he felt uncomfortable, so he didn''t tell his family. Now working in Qingyang County, he explained to his family that it is also a job transfer, and he needs to work in the county temporarily. Fortunately, not far away, he will go home every week. At that time, Luo Qiaolan didn''t doubt it either, and felt that since it was arranged by the unit, it was agreed that his man should go to work in other places. But half a month ago, Luo Qiaolan accidentally learned that her man was not transferred from work, but resigned and went to work in a small county town! This made Luo Qiaolan very angry, she felt that Zhai Xue had lied to her! Besides, from work in the city to the prefecture¡­ People go to high places. In the future, relatives and friends will find out, how shameful it is? ! So when Zhai Xue came home last week, Luo Qiaolan asked him to go back to work in the city. In desperation, Zhai Xue told Luo Qiaolan that he was squeezed out by people in his work unit, and finally reduced to being a gatekeeper. Although his current job is in the county seat, he feels that the job is very good, the salary is guaranteed, and he is very happy to work, so he is unwilling to give up his current job and return to the city. The two disagreed and had a big fight on the spot. Later, when it was time for work, Zhai Xue came back to the factory and focused on work. When Luo Qiaolan saw her man''s attitude, her first reaction was not that work made Zhai Xue focus on the county. Could it be that her man has someone outside? So after two days of thinking wildly at home, Luo Qiaolan put the child at her mother''s house and found her alone. As a result, Luo Qiaolan discovered that almost all the factories where her men work are female workers! Before she didn''t know that Zhai Xue worked in a garment factory, but seeing so many women in the factory now, Luo Qiaolan became more determined to let her man leave the county! Facing Zhai Xue''s resistance, Luo Qiaolan took his words, "It is also the job of a regular unit in the city to watch the gate!" "But look at your current finances of a small garment factory in a private unit. Is it work or something else that makes you so nostalgic?!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 214: Hit until she dare not scold Chapter 214 She didn''t dare to scold her After Luo Qiaolan finished speaking, she glanced at some sewing girls in the yard who heard the voice and came out to check on the situation. Her eyes are so obvious that almost everyone present can hear that there is something in her words! Aside, Secretary Tang came out of the office next door. For this middle-aged woman who suddenly broke into their garment factory and yelled in the yard, as the secretary of the factory manager, she immediately stopped her¡ª "Sister, some things can''t be said indiscriminately! Although our factory is privately run, it is true, but our clothing factory is not a small factory!" "Besides, Finance Zhai came to the factory as a treasurer, just for a job, and there is no other reason!" As soon as Secretary Tang finished speaking, Luo Qiaolan looked at her. "Is there any other reason? How do you know so clearly?!" Luo Qiaolan looked back and forth at Secretary Tang, and then thought that the young girl in front of her came out of the room next to her man. This made Luo Qiaolan suddenly wary of Secretary Tang¡ª "You are so anxious to stand up and speak for him, what is your relationship with my man?" Luo Qiaolan''s words almost didn''t mean that Secretary Tang was having an affair with her man! When Finance Zhai heard what his wife said, he immediately became ugly and apologetic. He immediately stepped forward to grab his wife and take her away. But Luo Qiaolan believed that his actions were due to her man''s ulterior motives, so she stopped her like this. So Luo Qiaolan became even more hostile towards Secretary Tang! When Lan Shu came back to the factory, all she heard was a shrill female voice screaming and cursing¡ª "It''s really shameless, it''s not good to do something at a young age, and you have to join other people''s men!" "I asked my man to return to the city to prevent girls from poor families in small counties like you from posting back." Outside the gate of the clothing factory. Lan Shu:? ? ? Then she heard Zhai Finance''s voice. "Qiaolan, stop talking! It''s not what you think!" From what he said, it was obvious that the people making trouble in the factory had something to do with Finance Zhai. Lan Shu walked quickly into the yard, and saw a strange woman standing in their clothing factory, glaring at Secretary Tang. No matter how capable Secretary Tang is at work, she is just a girl in her twenties, and it is the first time she is in love. How can she hear other people''s daughter-in-law pointing at her nose and scolding her? So at this time, Secretary Tang''s face was flushed with anger, and there were tears in his eyes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Factory Manager Lan coming back, and the thin-skinned young girl couldn''t help crying while covering her face¡ª Lan Shu stared at the factory workers who were watching the farce, and said coldly to the two security guards who were helpless, "What''s going on?" Aside, the two security guards who encountered this matter for the first time immediately explained the truth briefly. "Finance Zhai''s daughter-in-law broke in suddenly, saying that Secretary Tang and Finance Zhai..." You don''t need to listen to the rest of the story, Lan Shu already understands the situation. She asked the two security guards in the factory coldly, "When outsiders come to make trouble in the factory, you just let them yell here?" "But that''s Zhai Finance''s daughter-in-law..." a security guard whispered with a look of embarrassment. But Lan Shu didn''t listen to these reasons. "The factory invites you to be security guards. Have you fulfilled your duties?" Lan Shu is very angry about the work of the security guard on duty today! Hearing her words, the two security guards suddenly realized that their work should not be based on anyone''s favor, but on the interests of the factory. So the two rushed forward immediately, about to blast Luo Qiaolan into the factory. Luo Qiaolan is here, how can she leave easily? "Don''t touch me, whoever touches me, I will sue whoever is a hooligan!" When Luo Qiaolan said this, the two security guards paused and stopped immediately. It would be no small matter if he was given the title of ''hooligan'' in this day and age! Luo Qiaolan was sure of this point, so she was confident. If it were someone else, maybe it would be difficult for a while, but what she met was Lan Shu¡ª¡ª Lan Shu glanced at more than a dozen female workers in the factory, and said in a deep voice. "The security guards dare not do anything, you guys, get rid of this idler who broke into the factory¡ª" When the factory manager spoke, the employees naturally did not dare to be vague. In addition to the fact that this woman was yelling loudly in the factory and falsely accusing Secretary Tang of having an improper relationship with Finance Zhai, they have long since disliked her! As soon as Lan Shu finished speaking, five or six female employees who were watching rushed towards Luo Qiaolan, trying to forcefully drive her away. Seeing this, Luo Qiaolan could only shout at her man¡ª "Zhai Xue! Just let them drive me away, right?" After finishing speaking, she turned her head and said to the female workers around her who pulled her arms and asked her to leave the factory, "You are harboring mistresses by doing this!" When Finance Zhai heard about it, he stepped forward to cover his daughter-in-law''s open mouth. But although he is a man, his strength is not as strong as that of a woman who has had a baby for many years, so Luo Qiaolan quickly broke away. "Zhai Xue! Do you dare to do it or not? You ran from the city to work in a small county, is it because of this vixen?" "Qiaolan, don''t talk nonsense about things that don''t exist!" "I talk nonsense? If I talk nonsense, you will be so nervous?" Luo Qiaolan was too emotional right now to listen to any explanation. She was just suspicious at first, but now after her imagination, it seems to be true! So before she was about to be kicked out of the garment factory, Luo Qiaolan quarreled loudly and vented her anger on Secretary Tang who had nothing to do with this matter¡ª She struggled and turned her head to look at Secretary Tang, yelling, "Shameless vixen! You hook up with people, I curse you..." "Snapped!-" A loud slap on the face stopped Luo Qiaolan''s noisy voice immediately. Lan Shu flicked the wrist that was too forceful. Just now she couldn''t help it, she stepped forward and directly used force to shut up Zhai Cai''s wife! When Luo Qiaolan realized after being beaten, she widened her eyes and said to Lan Shu in surprise, "How dare you hit me?!" "Not only did I dare to slap you, but if you dare to talk nonsense about things that didn''t exist before, don''t blame me for continuing to slap you!" What she said was not a joke at all. If Zhai Finance and his wife dared to scold her, she would beat her until she dared not scold her! After saying this, Lan Shu fixed her eyes on Zhai Finance and spoke in a cold voice. "Finance Zhai, although I don''t know what''s going on, this matter should have been your family matter, but you couldn''t handle it yourself and let your family members come to the factory to make trouble." Originally, Lan Shu had a good impression of Zhai Finance, and even considered giving Zhai Finance a chance to compete for the deputy factory director. But now, she directly dismissed the idea. How can a man who doesn''t even understand his own family affairs be able to take on the responsibility of a factory? Zhai''s financial work ability is good, but it is limited to his financial work. As for the others, Lan Shu will not consider them for the time being. (end of this chapter) Chapter 215: high salary Chapter 215 High Salary Opposite, Zhai Xue knew that this matter was very bad, he lowered his head in shame, and apologized to Lan Shu. "Director Lan, I''m sorry, it''s all my fault." Lan Shu heard that, but did not accept Zhai Xue''s apology. "You shouldn''t be the first to tell me about your apology." As she spoke, she looked at Secretary Tang who was standing behind the crowd, and then her eyes fell on Zhai Xue''s daughter-in-law. "I am the director of this garment factory, and the girl you called a vixen just now is my secretary, and she is also my brother''s girlfriend." "The girl''s family is not poor, and the man she is going to marry in the future has contracted several orchards and opened a chicken farm. What do you think she can do to your man?" Lan Shu said coldly. Hearing what Lan Shu said, the female workers in the yard of the factory were surprised from ear to ear. In the past month or so, it is not a secret in the factory that a simple and honest man came to the factory several times to find Secretary Tang. When a female employee saw the shy expression on Secretary Tang''s face when he met the man, she knew that Secretary Tang must be talking to the man. At first, everyone thought that Secretary Tang was the secretary of the factory director, and he was with a man who was said to be farming in the countryside. Even if the man is tall and handsome, he is not good enough for Secretary Tang, the factory director''s secretary. But now after hearing what the factory manager said, everyone knew that the man who farmed in the countryside was actually their factory manager''s brother! Besides, such a simple and honest man actually has an orchard and a chicken farm? You really can''t judge people by their appearances! It was the first time Tang Chu knew that Lan Dazhuang had an orchard and a chicken farm in the village. Although Director Lan said this himself, Tang Chu was surprised and couldn''t believe it for a moment. She only pretended to be the director of the blue factory, was she protecting her and saving her face? Finance Zhai¡¯s daughter-in-law, Luo Qiaolan, also froze for a moment when she heard what the director of the garment factory said¡ª "Are they...really unrelated?" The one who answered her was Zhai Cai, who was not trusted, and swore in anger! "I came to work in a garment factory just to earn money and give it to my family to live a good life! I don''t have any ambiguous relationships with any women. If there is, I will be hit by a car to death when I go out!" Zhai Xue has said so, why does Luo Qiaolan not believe it? But even if she believes that her man has no other women outside, she is not willing to let her man work in a private factory in a small county town! "Zhai Xue, follow me back to the city! I won''t allow you to work in a small county!" As Luo Qiaolan said, she broke away from the female garment factory workers who grabbed her arms, and grabbed Zhai Finance''s hand and was about to pull it outside the factory¡ª Finance Zhai''s first reaction was to throw him away, but he shook him twice, but Luo Qiaolan pulled him too tightly, and couldn''t shake him off at all. Finance Zhai sighed, his face was so depressed that he wanted to cry. He looked helplessly at the daughter-in-law beside him, and said sadly. "Qiaolan! You come to the factory where I work and make such a fuss. I really can''t stay here any longer. I originally wanted to work hard and give you and your children a good living condition, but now..." He wiped his face fiercely with one hand, then looked at his daughter-in-law again. "Luo Qiaolan, as you wish, I will leave the garment factory, but in the future I may not be able to go back with so much salary every month." "How can I do that?" Luo Qiaolan didn''t agree when she heard that the money was running low! "Da Gang and Xiao Gang need money to go to school and eat, drink, and sleep. Your parents don''t have jobs, and they have to eat meat all day long. My mother''s family must be filial on New Year''s Day. How can we live without money?! " Usually, Luo Qiaolan is in charge of the accounts at home, so she knows best where the money is spent. Her man gives her back forty or fifty yuan every month, and in recent months there will be a little more, sixty or sixty-five yuan. The whole family is used to this standard of living, and she can''t bear to cut her food and clothing suddenly! Zhai Finance is also helpless. "If I go back to the city now, it doesn''t matter whether I can find a job. Even if I can work in a factory in the city, I am still a grassroots worker. It costs at most forty or fifty yuan a month, except for my own food and drink. At most It is more than 30 yuan that can be given to the family.¡± After finishing speaking, Zhai Xue ignored his wife, and bowed apologetically in Lan Shu''s direction. "I''m sorry, Director Lan, for making you laugh. I''m afraid I can''t continue working in the factory, but don''t worry, I''ll settle this month''s accounts before leaving." As he spoke, he abruptly pulled his arm away from Luo Qiaolan''s hand, and said weakly, "Qiaolan, give me another three or four days. I''ll go back to the city after I finish my work this week." He has decided. He didn''t go back because his wife asked him to go back. It was the garment factory he wanted to stay in, and he would have no face to stay any longer... Seeing this, Lan Shu felt a little reluctant about Zhai Finance''s ability to work, but since it was Zhai Finance''s own decision, she would not stop it. Lan Shu nodded and looked at Zhai Finance, "You have already thought about it, so let''s do it this way." After Accountant Zhai left, her factory had to recruit accountants as soon as possible. Beside Zhai Xue, Luo Qiaolan heard that the director of the garment factory where her man had been working for the past few months agreed to let him go. This was originally what Luo Qiaolan wanted, but when she really achieved her expectations, she suddenly felt a sense of regret... At this moment, Luo Qiaolan asked Zhai Xue in a strange way, "How much salary do you get a month in the garment factory?" "Eighty yuan a month, benefits during the holidays, and bonuses during the New Year." Finance Zhai said, sighing in his heart, such a good job, it''s a pity that his wife ruined it. Luo Qiaolan found out that in the past few months, her man has been able to pay more than 60 yuan a month to the family because her man now has such a high salary! The idea of ??regret at first, but now because of the money, it has been further expanded... Zhai Xue didn''t notice the change in his daughter-in-law''s expression at all. He urged Luo Qiaolan depressedly, "Go quickly, I will do what I promised you, and I will return to the city this Sunday at the latest." Seeing that Luo Qiaolan wanted to say something, but Lan Shu no longer gave her a chance. Lan Shu called out to the female workers in the yard, "Throw them out!" Then she said to the security guard at the door¡ª "In the future, idlers are not allowed to put them in the yard! This time, you made a mistake at work, and each of you will be deducted five yuan from this month''s salary. Next time something like this happens, you don''t need to go to work!" This matter really made Lan Shu angry. She spent money to hire security guards to guard the gate and maintain the normal order in the factory. But now, when something happens, the security guards are standing still, which is of no use at all. The two security guards guarding the gate heard what Director Lan said. Although they were distressed by the deduction of money, they also knew that they had not fulfilled their duties. It is good that the factory manager is willing to keep them. (end of this chapter) Chapter 216: leave Chapter 216 Leave Working as a security guard in Yunshu Garment Factory, she can get thirty-five yuan a month. This salary can only be obtained by the hard-working workers in several other nearby factories! The wages in the factory are so good, they are reluctant to leave. Now that they are being deducted money, they just take it as a lesson for themselves, and they will definitely do their job well next time. Lan Shu''s act of withholding money immediately stunned everyone present. For ordinary workers, wages are fundamental to supporting their families! So several female garment factory workers in the yard immediately kicked Zhai Finance''s daughter-in-law out of the gate! Luo Qiaolan still wanted to struggle, but she didn''t decide whether to let her man continue to work in the garment factory, or return to the city? Luo Qiaolan is torn between high wages and city jobs. As everyone knows, no one has given her a chance to struggle at this time. The high-paying job in the garment factory no longer belongs to her family after this trouble. As soon as Luo Qiaolan left, the factory fell silent. Lan Shu said to the female workers, "They are all gone." After the voice fell, everyone immediately went back to work. Only Finance Zhai and Secretary Tang remained. Secretary Tang''s eyes were red. Just now she felt wronged and cried a lot. And Zhai Finance still looked apologetic, and said to Tang Chu, "Secretary Tang, I''m sorry, I''m sorry." Looking at the scene in front of her, Lan Shu sighed, this time Secretary Tang really encountered a disaster. Originally, before Lan Shu came back to the factory, she planned to explain some things to Secretary Tang, but the current situation can only be temporarily let go. Lan Shu walked up to Tang Chu in a few steps, and said softly, "I''ll give you two days off, you can go back and have a rest, and come back to work the day after tomorrow." Hearing what Director Lan said, Tang Chu hesitated for a moment before she nodded in agreement. Tang Chu also knew that it was difficult for her to work normally in her current state, and she really needed time to adjust her mood. When Secretary Tang left the factory, Finance Zhai continued to work in the accounting office. There is a beginning and an end, he has to finish the task at hand well. Watching Finance Zhai enter the house, Lan Shu felt helpless¡ª Before this, she never thought that Finance Zhai would have such a daughter-in-law. Actually, Lan Shu, as a woman, can understand his daughter-in-law''s worries and concerns. But this is not the reason why the other party can make trouble and curse people in the factory. Finance Zhai this time, was really dragged down by his wife... ¡­ During the two days when she left the garment factory at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, Lan Shu was in the factory every day. Without a secretary, there are more things to do immediately, and she needs to do it herself. This made Lan Shu feel that recruiting was imminent! In addition to recruiting a new accountant, she also needs to add one or two more candidates for secretary. When Secretary Tang comes back, he will work with the new secretary for a period of time. When the factory needs to entrust Secretary Tang with important responsibilities in the future, it is good to have a skilled person take over the job of the factory manager''s secretary. So Yunshu Garment Factory''s recruitment notice was posted on the factory''s bulletin board that day. In addition, Lan Shu also posted a job advertisement on the newspaper of Linjiang City Newspaper Office. Qingyang County Yunshu Garment Factory is recruiting secretaries, accountants, and sewing workers. By the time Secretary Tang came back from the two-day vacation, someone had already seen the advertisement and came to the factory to apply for the job. ¡­ Friday. One morning, Lan Shu had already met seven or eight candidates who came to interview for the secretary job. Sewing work, more people come to apply. And there are only three people who came to interview for the financial work. Two accounting students who have just graduated from university for about a year, and one is a few years older. He has worked in other factories before and has work experience in finance. Three applicants for financial jobs failed to meet Lan Shu''s requirements after the interview. It is hard to find people like Zhai Finance who have solid working ability and rigorous personality, and are suitable for financial work. If it wasn''t for Zhai Finance''s daughter-in-law who came to the factory to make a fuss, which made the relationship between Zhai Finance and Secretary Tang difficult, it would definitely be embarrassing for them to work in the same factory in the future. Lan Shu really didn''t want to change finance. It''s a pity that Zhai Finance''s leaving is not only her decision, but also Zhai Finance''s own choice. The recruitment process took three days. Finally, the recruitment of sewing workers in the factory was handed over to Liu Axing, the workshop manager, to arrange. Who to choose as the secretary will be finally decided by Lan Shu after Secretary Tang screens and selects. And the financial candidates that Lan Shu wants to recruit must continue to search. Two days ago, Zhai Finance had completed all the accounting work in the factory last month, and after reporting to Lan Shu, he left Qingyang County. Lan Shu didn''t ask to stay, and she has no right to interfere with Zhai Finance''s family affairs. It''s just that before leaving, when Lan Shu settled Zhai''s salary, she gave him an extra bonus of 50 yuan, which was considered as the most benevolent. Finance Zhai didn''t intend to accept the extra money at first, but Lan Shu said that it was the factory''s year-end benefits, and it was sent to him in advance, so Finance Zhai took it. As soon as he leaves and finds a new accountant in the factory, Secretary Tang can only temporarily take care of the accounting work. For such a workload, fortunately, the two new secretaries can share some of it for her. The recruitment of workers in the factory was over, and a total of two secretaries and thirty-two sewing workers were recruited. The number of people in the clothing factory directly exceeded 210 people! ¡­ A few days later, Kyoto. The aerobics videotape on the TV station has been edited, and the morning show begins¡ª Regarding the morning aerobics show, something happened early on. The reason started when someone found out that the TV was turned on early in the morning, and aerobics was playing on the black and white snowflake-shaped TV. During the trial broadcast of the morning program, someone had already seen it by chance, and after that, it was advertised in the newspaper. For more than a week, the morning aerobics program had already had many regular viewers. Following the rhythm of the music in the program, the leading aerobics actor on TV said to the audience outside the TV, "Come on! Let''s do exercise together!" After that, more and more viewers added an activity of exercising in the morning. By the time Lan Shu received a call from the TV station and learned the good news, the morning aerobics program had already become a hot show on the station! Lan Shu was not surprised by this result. Because there are very few signal stations on TV nowadays, there are only two or three in total. On these two or three stations, the TV programs are not broadcast 24 hours a day, and the viewers basically don''t have much choice, and this is the only one that broadcasts the program in the morning. Therefore, anyone who has a TV at home will feel that if they don¡¯t watch some programs, it¡¯s a waste of the TV they spent money on. And when they turned on the TV, they were attracted by the rhythm of the aerobics, and started to practice¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 217: effort Chapter 217 Hard work The popularity of aerobics has also driven the sales of Walkmans. Seeing the morning aerobics show, several aerobics performers each wore a beautiful and trendy Walkman around their waists, and the audience began to ask where they could buy it. At this time, in the Walkman manufacturing and processing factory, Qian Qing, who had turned from technology spontaneously to the sales manager of the factory, took this opportunity to sell the Walkmans that the factory had recently hoarded! Rare gadgets like the Walkman no longer need to be advertised. Kyoto, Haicheng, and Yuanping, the counter owners of the shopping malls who sell tape recorders, but rely on their connections to find them and want to buy them. In the case of low stock and high demand, in order to get the goods, I don¡¯t know how many bosses want to invite Qian Qing to dinner every day~! This made Qian Qing feel that compared to doing research, he really likes doing business! Thus, with the efforts of Qian Qing, some of the Walkmans in the factory were wholesaled through Lan Weicheng''s counter, and some were sold through Qian Qing. From ordinary walkmans to walkmans with recording functions, in just a few days, the factory''s income has reached more than 100,000 yuan! With the money, Qian Qing did not hesitate to call Lan Shu, the major shareholder who is in charge of the Lan family. After greeting him, he immediately started to continue to expand the scale of the factory! ¡­ As time entered the end of May, Lan Shu left Qingyang County again and went to Kyoto. Sitting on the train to Kyoto, Lan Shu felt that this should be the last time she took the train to Kyoto. A week ago, the factory had already ordered a Santana car from a foreign car factory, and it was expected to be delivered in half a month. So when Lan Shu left, she did not forget to tell Secretary Tang to remember to hire another driver. After staying in Qingyang County for a month, the recruitment of talents in the factory has not stopped. Lan Shu looked at the design drawing that Liu Axing put on the table before. Indeed, as Liu Axing said, the opponent''s level is good. Therefore, the designer whom he found to apply for the job has been recruited into the factory and became the third fashion designer in the factory. After Zhai Finance left, it took half a month for the factory to recruit new financial personnel. Xin Finance is twenty-nine years old, named Pan Gong, who came to Qingyang County to apply for a job from Hongshi, which is next door to Linjiang City. The other party has a strong professional ability. He also worked as a financial manager in a factory before, and has five or six years of work experience. The reason why he came to the garment factory was because the factory he worked in went bankrupt and he lost his job. It just so happened that a relative in Linjiang City called to tell him that Yunshu Garment Factory was recruiting for finance, so he came to the interview with the mentality of giving it a try. As a result, the interview was passed, and the 80 yuan a month''s wages offered by Lan Shu stayed firmly in the factory. Pan Gong has a wife and children, and his family is still in Hongshi for the time being, so he is the only one coming here. But I heard that the dormitory for the workers in the factory is about to be built, and then he can take his wife and children over to live here. On the train, it took about ten hours to arrive in Kyoto. This time, Lan Shu didn''t go back to Lan''s house, but went directly to the mansion she bought in Kyoto. Auntie Man cleans the house every day, and Master Hetian takes care of the flowers and plants. Lanshu hasn''t come for a month, and now the flowers in the flower garden are just about to bloom, and the trees and lawn have been watered early in the morning, and they seem to be growing well. Seeing the owner¡¯s return, Master Tian who had just finished watering the various plants in the yard greeted immediately, ¡°Ms. Lan, good morning.¡± Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Good morning." Then she entered the house, went upstairs to her bedroom to catch up on sleep¡ª ¡­ When Lan Shu arrived in Kyoto, Peking University School of Medicine. Xiaobai has been in the laboratory for several days besides eating and sleeping recently. The last drug research project conducted by the team led by Professor Zhang has ended, and now the new drug is being produced in the pharmaceutical factory. Xiaobai was supposed to go back to class and continue to study normally, but he deliberately applied to Professor Zhang and continued to follow the team to do research on other projects. His learning accumulation can almost keep up with some senior graduate students and senior sisters in the laboratory, so after considering it, Professor Zhang agreed to his application. Suxiao Jiuxin Pill is over, and the next research is divided into two groups. On the one hand, it is research on new topics, and on the other hand, it is a secondary upgrade on the basis of the original medicine. The two items are drugs for treating colds and drugs for anti-inflammation. Cold medicines actually appeared in Western countries ten years ago, but that kind of cold medicine has certain side effects, such as short-term interference with the mental system of the drug users after taking them. The most obvious symptom is drowsiness and damage to physical health . Professor Zhang''s idea is to develop a Chinese medicine for colds that has no side effects and has better efficacy based on the ingredients of the previous cold medicines. This drug is a new topic. Another secondary upgrade drug is anti-inflammatory drugs. Although the known penicillin has a good anti-inflammatory effect, some people are allergic to penicillin themselves. Therefore, a drug called erythromycin appeared later, which can be used for anti-inflammatory effects in patients who are allergic to penicillin. The effect of erythromycin is much inferior to that of penicillin. Professor Zhang hoped that they could improve erythromycin and increase its efficacy. Even if it cannot achieve the effect of penicillin, it should try to be stronger than the original erythromycin. Among the two kinds of drug research, Xiaobai chose the first one¡ªthe research of a new subject, according to his own ability. Although it is a new topic, this topic is actually easier than enhancing the efficacy of erythromycin. There are six graduate students in the group of Xiaobai and Xiaobai. In a month, although the new drug has not been successful, the research of everyone has some signs. The reason why Xiaobai is so devoted to work is to make his professional ability stronger. He wants Lan Shu to see his achievements and stop treating him as a younger brother. He wants to make himself qualified to stand beside Lan Shu¡ª ¡­ Lan''s family, in the past month, Lan Xinya''s life has not been very good. She works as a secretary in the factory, with a monthly salary of 60 yuan. Originally, in addition to salary, the family would give her an extra two hundred yuan as pocket money. But starting last month, her dad stopped her pocket money! At first, Lan Xinya thought her father was too busy and forgot about it. But after waiting for a few days, she didn''t see her father ''remembering'' this matter. At that time, she realized that she might have no pocket money in the future. As for the reason, it must have something to do with Lan Shu! Because my words made Lan Shu leave Lan''s house and move out, so my parents got angry and stopped my pocket money? This is the only reason Lan Xinya can think of! This made Lan Xinya so angry that she didn''t talk to her parents for several days. But within half a month, Lan Xinya discovered that she had no money in her hand... (end of this chapter) Chapter 218: drive me away? Chapter 218 Drive me away? A salary of 60 yuan a month is enough for an average family, even a family of five or six. But Lan Xinya is used to a prosperous life. She rarely eats in the factory cafeteria when she goes to work, and mostly eats outside. During the weekend, she also wants to go shopping in the mall and buy some clothes for herself. Recently, the weather is hot and the seasons are changing. She bought a new skirt, so the money is not enough. And just like that she hasn''t bought new sandals to match the dress. Wearing old sandals to work every day, Lan Xinya just feels ashamed! In fact, the current situation might not have happened. If there was no "accident" of Lan Shu, according to the development of the plot, after Lan Xinya became Gu Cheng''s fianc¨¦e, she would have money, pets, and various gifts. You can change into new clothes. But now Lan Xinya has no place next to the hero, she is just an ordinary migrant worker... Lan Xinya is increasingly dissatisfied with her current life. So much so that the current stable job is very unsatisfactory in her eyes. Thinking of Gu Cheng doing business and starting a company, and Lan Shu doing business to buy luxury houses. Gradually, even though she felt in her heart that it would be embarrassing for girls to show up and sell goods, in order to improve living conditions, Lan Xinya also had the idea of ??doing business in her heart. So that night, Lan Weicheng came back from the shopping mall after he was busy. Before the dinner table, he heard his adopted daughter''s request¡ª¡ª "Dad, I don''t want to go to work anymore, I also want to do business." Lan Weicheng glanced at his adopted daughter, "What kind of business do you want?" "Doesn''t our family have a cosmetics counter in Huaxia Shopping Mall? If you leave that counter to me, I will definitely do a good job in business." When Lan Weicheng heard about it, he immediately choked on the adoptive daughter''s request! He looked at his adopted daughter seriously, and said, "Xinya, the business of the cosmetics counter is already doing well without you taking care of it." That is the most profitable counter in his hands now. Even the tape recorder counter sells Walkmans, and sometimes the profit is not as high as that of cosmetics. For this reason, Lan Weicheng has even started to prepare to open counters in big shopping malls in Haicheng and Yuanping to sell cosmetics. Thinking of this, he proposed to his adopted daughter, "Xinya, if you want to start a business selling cosmetics, Dad will invest in you, and you can open the counter in Haicheng or Yuanping." This is a good proposal that no one can ask for, but Lan Xinya frowned immediately after hearing this! "Dad, are you going to drive me out of the house? Let me go to Haicheng alone, far away from you?" "Xinya, you misunderstood, your father didn''t mean that." At the dining table, Xu Shan immediately spoke to appease her daughter. Lan Weicheng really didn''t mean that, but he didn''t expect that the child he raised would think of him that way in his heart! ? "Xinya..." Lan Weicheng felt a little cold in his heart. "Dad, if I don''t go to work in the factory, but want to go to the cosmetics counter in Huaxia Mall, do you agree?" Lan Xinya looked at Lan Weicheng and said angrily. At this moment, she is almost using this almost forceful attitude, using this request to measure her weight in the hearts of her parents. Lan Weicheng frowned, he was very upset that his adopted daughter forced him to make a choice. Lan Weicheng thinks that he has never been sorry to his adopted daughter, but now Xinya acts as if he owes her! He had never realized before that the daughter he raised was so ignorant! Lan Weicheng faintly felt that Xinya''s current emotional change started when he cut off her pocket money. In fact, Lan Weicheng didn''t lack the two hundred yuan a month. He just felt that he and his wife had done something wrong to dote on Xinya before, which made her not be grateful for her parents'' upbringing, and instead calculated what they lost and recovered. daughter. Lan Weicheng just wanted to give his adoptive daughter a warning and let Xinya know her mistakes and repent, but unexpectedly, it made her become even more extreme! "Xinya, it''s true that the cosmetics counter in Huaxia Mall belongs to Dad, but the business at the counter is booming entirely because of Shushu, so that counter..." "So you want to give Lan Shu that counter?" Lan Xinya interrupted Lan Weicheng. At this moment, she was very disappointed in her father who had been called him for almost twenty years! She understood that her father''s attitude towards her changed so quickly because she was not her own! After all, what Lan Weicheng cares about is blood relationship! When asked by his adoptive daughter, Lan Weicheng didn''t hesitate at all. He really wanted to give Shushu the cosmetics counter, and he also mentioned this matter, but... "Shu Shu, she doesn''t want it." Lan Weicheng replied truthfully. Lan Xinya didn''t react when she first heard this sentence¡ª "What?" She was startled. Lan Weicheng sighed, and returned, "The cosmetics counter business is all done by Shu Shu. I want to give the counter to Shu Shu, but she refused my offer." While speaking, Lan Weicheng met Lan Xinya''s eyes. He hoped that through this incident, the adopted daughter''s mind could be changed. "Shu Shu''s current achievements are all due to her own hard work, and she may not appreciate the things I gave her at all." "She disdains this little business at home, and she has more business in her hands." These are all facts, Lan Weicheng wants to let Xinya understand that it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Although Lan Weicheng thinks that Xinya is not suitable for business, if Xinya really has the intention of doing business, he will not completely deny her the opportunity. She wants to start a business, and as a father, she can support her. Even if she doesn¡¯t succeed in the business, it doesn¡¯t matter if she loses money. As long as she can learn from it and gain experience, it is not a waste of money. In case Xinya can really make a business, Lan Weicheng will definitely distribute some of the counters at home to Xinya with confidence. But now, let him hand over the already mature business to her, and let the immature her spoil it casually, Lan Weicheng is not so prodigal! But Lan Weicheng''s kindness could not be understood by Lan Xinya at all. Lan Xinya felt that what her father said was just saying how good and outstanding Lan Shu was, and she couldn''t compare to her at all! Lan Xinya felt humiliated by her relatives around her! Besides, Xu Shan saw her daughter''s face turned red, she lowered her head without saying a word, and her lips were tightly pursed. She knew that Xinya must have misunderstood! "Xinya, actually, I think it''s good for the family to give you money to start a business for you. You can prove to your father that you are also very good!" Xu Shan softened her tone and comforted Lan Xinya. But Lan Xinya didn''t appreciate it¡ª She raised her head abruptly, met Xu Shan''s gaze, with strong disappointment in her eyes, "Mom, you also support Dad in driving me out of the house, don''t you?" "This is not to drive you away, we just think this is a good opportunity to exercise you..." But Lan Xinya couldn''t listen at all. "Okay, I''ll go!" As she said, she stood up abruptly from her seat, turned around and was about to leave home. (end of this chapter) Chapter 219: Chapter 219 Seeing her resolute look, Xu Shan couldn''t bear it after all, and immediately grabbed her arm¡ª "Xinya, don''t go..." Shushu has already left, if Xinya leaves again, her daughter will not be by her side... The one who answered Xu Shan was Lan Xinya who broke down and hid in her mother''s arms, "Woo~" and burst into tears. Seeing this scene, Lan Weicheng sighed tiredly. He gave his adopted daughter the opportunity to be independent and self-improving, but unfortunately, Xinya has a completely different personality from Shushu after all. In the end, Lan Xinya did not leave home, nor did she mention business matters. Instead, after resting at home for a few days, I continued to go to work in the factory. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu came to Kyoto. After a day''s rest, she went to the TV station the next day. As the director of the morning show, Lan Shu has work tasks. Last month, the morning program repeatedly broadcast a month of aerobics, in which the whole body sweating effect is very good, and the stovepipe exercise has also received a lot of praise from viewers who wrote to the TV station. The new task of this month is to add new aerobics on the basis of the previous two aerobics. There are new changes every month, and this kind of program can make people keep watching and practicing. After the four aerobics actors learned that their immediate leader, Producer Lan, would come today, the four of them had been waiting at the TV station early in the morning. When Lan Shu saw people, she asked them a question without delay¡ª "Have you arranged the aerobics for thin waist?" In the previous month, although the TV station played videotapes every day, several aerobics actors were not idle. They were already practicing the next task entrusted to them by Producer Lan. Among the four, apart from Li Xiaoyu, the girl with the most beautiful appearance and the best figure, Li Xiaoyu''s slightly fat companion is named Tao Ying, the youngest girl is Sun Sisi, and the boy is named Jiang Min. Jiang Min is the oldest, 21 years old this year. Lan Shu can see from the last aerobics practice that he has good organizational skills and is suitable to be the captain. So when the first recording was over, Lan Shu asked him to lead the three of them to practice the aerobics to be recorded next time. At this moment, Lan Shu asked, and Jiang Min immediately replied, "We have already arranged it. We have practiced two versions of the thin waist movement, and we completed it together based on everyone''s opinions." Jiang Min did this very well. Although he and Li Xiaoyu thought of most of the actions, in front of the leader, he is not the kind of person who takes all the credit for himself. Jiang Min knows that the success of their aerobics is not due to the excellence of one individual, but the cooperation of everyone. It is also because of thinking clearly about this point that Lan Shu feels very comfortable with Jiang Min''s speech and behavior at the moment. What she wants is such a harmonious team. Now that the four have rehearsed, let''s start immediately. The Walkman sponsored by Lan Weicheng before was given to the four of them directly by Lan Shu. So during this month, even if the four of them didn''t get together every day, they could each practice on their own with the Walkman every day. Practice twice a week, the effect is already very good. Right in the courtyard of the TV station, the music sounded from the Walkman, and the four of them started a new exercise¡ª Fifteen minutes later, the four people who swayed their bodies in rhythm stopped, panting slightly and looking at the leader in front of them. During the fifteen minutes, they did not perform warm-up exercises and subsequent finishing exercises, but only demonstrated two aerobics exercises. Under the expectant eyes of the four, Lan Shu nodded. "The first paragraph will do," she said. Originally, Lan Shu thought that she might have to help the four of them change a few moves, but now that she saw the performance of the four of them, she didn''t have any objections. "Then the day after tomorrow, we will record according to this." Lan Shu said again. As for why the recording was not tomorrow but the day after tomorrow, Lan Shu had an idea. The background of the last aerobics recording was pure white, this time she wanted to add some elements that are more popular in this era. For example, when the whole body is exercising, it may be possible to have a rock-style background. The new waist thinning exercise is relatively less intense, and the original background can still be used. So that afternoon, through the introduction of Cui Nian on the TV station, Lan Shu found a few young people who play music in Kyoto, and after earnestly understanding the elements of rock and roll, she found someone to decorate the new recording background¡ª ¡­ While decorating the recording site of the new aerobics on the TV station side, on the other side, Peking University School of Medicine. At night, Xiaobai started dreaming again. The dream that had been stopped for a long time came back. In this dream, he was a few years older than before, unkempt and very decadent. After a ''telling'' of the dream, Xiao Bai knew that the self in the dream had failed in business. Even if his business has family connections, he still cannot compare to Gu Cheng. In the end, the company went bankrupt, was chased for debts, and lost everything. These situations are not the worst. Xiaobai dreamed that his mother, Wei Qiushuang, went to find Gu Cheng, lowered her posture and begged Gu Cheng to help her son, and let her son go, but was ridiculed by Gu Cheng. Although he couldn''t hear the specific conversation between the two in the dream, just looking at Gu Cheng''s expression towards his mother already made Xiao Bai full of anger! Gu Cheng is such a person? In the previous dream, Xiaobai clearly ''seeed'' that Gu Cheng was raised by his mother. In Gu Cheng''s eyes, the grace of nurturing is nothing? ! When he woke up, Xiaobai could still feel a sense of anger in his chest that lingered on him for a long time. Besides the feeling of seeing the dream, the real emotional feeling seems to be that there is another self in the dream, which is emotionally overlapped with the current self at this moment¡ª The anger in the dream consumed Xiao Bai''s strength unknowingly. He sat up from the bed, his chest heaving up and down, panting slightly. After a while, I gradually calmed down. At this moment, Xiaobai unconsciously remembered the incident when he went to see his grandma in Qingyang County, but was beaten unconscious and thrown into the river. Who did that thing, Xiaobai had no idea before. But now, he suddenly thought of Gu Cheng¡ª If everything that happened in the dream is what should have happened in the past and in the future, then Gu Cheng''s ingratitude to his mother and his ignorance of his brotherhood should also be true. Thinking of Gu Cheng''s instigation to him before... Xiao Bai frowned. My amnesia...is it related to Gu Cheng? Although this thought just flashed in my mind, at this moment, there seemed to be an emotion spreading in Xiaobai''s heart! That emotion was silently telling him that what he thought... was true. Xiaobai felt that, temporarily putting aside his research work in the laboratory and his liking for Lan Shu, he had to go home and meet his half-brother during the holiday this week. ¡ª This night, Xiaobai was full of worries and couldn''t sleep all night. Gu Cheng, who was in the capital, also slept very restlessly. For some unknown reason, he suddenly dreamed about what he had told someone back then to let Gu Jue stay in Qingyang County forever... (end of this chapter) Chapter 220: Demand exceeds supply Chapter 220 Supply exceeds demand The recording of the new gymnastics on the TV station took three days from the determination of the movements to the completion of the recording. The videographer is satisfied with the latest recording results. Needless to say, the completeness of the waist-thinning movement, after adding the new full-body movement to the rock style background, it seems to be more in tune with the rhythm of the music rhythm! And after three days of work, Lan Shu also successfully ended her month''s workload on the TV station. Today is Thursday, before Lan Shu goes to bed at night, she is still planning to go home tomorrow and tell her parents that she is back. Or go to the house I bought in the eastern suburbs before, and see how the small building that was pushed to the ground is doing now? On the second day, after Lan Shu woke up and washed, she still decided to tell her parents about her return to Kyoto. But because she got up a little late, both parents are going out to work at this moment. So Lan Shu went out unhurriedly, and took the bus to Huaxia Shopping Mall. Her mansion is seven stops away from the shopping mall. Since the neighborhood of the house is a high-end residential area, almost every household around the house hires servants to cook, so there are no small shops for breakfast within several miles. Even if she wanted to take a bus, Lan Shu walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the nearest bus stop. This made Lan Shu feel that although she lived in a mansion, it was really inconvenient not to have a car. The bus drove for about 20 minutes before arriving near the shopping mall. Lan Shu got out of the car and found a nearby breakfast shop to solve her own problem of having breakfast. During the meal, she saw several young people passing by with Walkmans strapped to their waists. Those young people naturally received a lot of envious looks from passers-by. "The Walkman is really a good thing, I will buy one later~!" In the breakfast shop, the shop owner said to his daughter-in-law while serving millet porridge to customers. "You are not young, what do you want that thing for? Waste of money!" The proprietress, who was in her forties and already had many wrinkles on her face, shook her head and strongly disagreed. "Who said that only young people can buy Walkmans? I bought one and listened to it while I was working, and it gave me energy when I was doing it~!" The shop owner thought it was a good idea when he said it. The proprietress thought about it, since her family opened a breakfast shop, it is indeed not short of the money for a walkman, if her man wants to buy one, he should buy one. "That''s all right, buy two more tapes, I like to listen to those tapes of singers singing, you listen to them during the day when you are working, and I also listen to Duolingo when you are free at night." "Okay~" the store owner said, smiling happily at his wife, and started to work more vigorously. Hearing the conversation between the owner of the breakfast shop and the proprietress, several young people who had breakfast in the shop also chatted about the Walkman. "The Walkman is really convenient for listening to music, and it can also listen to English tapes. One of my cousins ??bought one for him at home last week, so that he can learn English at home." Another youth also said, "When I get paid and save money, I will buy one in a few months, and I will buy the one with recording function." Listening to everyone''s discussion on the Walkman, Lan Shu really felt that the Walkman was going to the public¡ª Being discussed by so many people is the proof of its popularity! After breakfast, Lan Shu got up, paid the bill, and walked to Huaxia Mall. As usual, her father Lan Weicheng was still busy at the recorder counter on the second floor. Last month, the aerobics program on the TV station brought popularity to the Walkman, which made the business on the counter very good! So at the counter, people are surrounded by people buying tapes and walkmans every day. When Lan Shu went, Lan Weicheng was very busy. There were originally two tape recorder counters, audio and tape counters, but after adding one, the three counters were connected together. In addition to Lan Weicheng, there were two tellers at the counter, one was in charge of selling tapes, and the other was selling tape recorders, stereos and walkmans with the boss, Lan Weicheng. "Boss, do you still have the silver-blue Walkman? It doesn''t have a recording function." "Boss, I want a silver-red Walkman with recording function." "Boss, are there any new tapes recently? Cantonese ones." "Boss, I came to ask the day before yesterday, and you said that there will be a new English tape on sale today, so get me a set." "..." Lan Shu stood behind the crowd for five or six minutes, but was not seen by Lan Weicheng, who was too busy, so she turned her head and went up to the third floor. I plan to go to the cosmetics counter to check the situation first, and come down later when her father is not busy. ¡­ On the third floor of Huaxia Mall, there is a cosmetics counter. Yanjuan led two female tellers who could already be called experienced sellers, and sold cosmetics to several customers in front of them respectively. ¡°Although make-up can make people look beautiful, if you have a good skin condition, then you can get twice the result with half the effort.¡± ¡°For the word young and beautiful, the word young comes first, that is to say, only by making one¡¯s skin healthy and looking young can cosmetics play a better role in making people beautiful.¡± "Our water creams are all natural and pure plant extracts, which are well absorbed on the skin. You can try it on the back of your hand." "Our essential oil soap has a strong cleaning ability, and after using it, the face will feel very refreshed, and only by washing the skin first, can skin care be better." When Lan Shu arrived, in just a few minutes, several deals were made at the counter. The goods sold include cosmetics and skin care products. Yanjuan immediately saw the arrival of the little boss. She didn''t greet the little boss immediately, but first packed the things purchased by the customer in front of her in delicate paper bags, and after handing them over to the customer, she called out to Lanshu, "You''re here, little boss~" Lan Shu nodded. She stood in front of the counter, looking down at the skin care products and essential oil soaps on the skin care counter. "How''s business going?" she asked. "From the beginning of this month to the present, the total sales in half a month should have exceeded 25,000." "Recently, the company''s supply situation has been a bit difficult, especially for essential oil soaps. The demand from customers is too high, and several varieties are in short supply." Yanjuan did not expect the sales of essential oil soap to be so good. They are also used to wash the face. When the soap came out, not everyone bought it. But now, all kinds of essential oil soaps, which are more expensive than the average price of soap, have almost become must-buy items for women who come to the mall. And the essential oil soap is consumed quite quickly. Yanjuan tried it herself. When washing her face with essential oil soap every day, she used up one piece in less than a month. So the sales of essential oil soaps will only increase every month, and will not decrease! After hearing Yanjuan''s report, Lan Shu began to pay attention to the production situation of her small cosmetics company. The small yard she rented back then was still too small. Even if Zhou Di hires a worker, the essential oil soap that needs a production cycle to complete cannot be mass-produced. (end of this chapter) Chapter 221: tragedy Chapter 221 is really miserable From this point of view, the reconstruction of the small building in the eastern suburbs must be accelerated! Lan Shu decided to go over there in the afternoon to see the situation. If the construction progress of the house is too slow, she will hire more masons to try to make the small building and small factory building built earlier. After learning about the sales situation at the cosmetics counter, Lan Shu took another look at the watch counter on the third floor. The sales of Lanjia''s watch counters have always been stable. It¡¯s not great, but before the rise of Walkmans and cosmetics counters, watch counters were almost as good as tape recorder counters. Lan Shu learned a little bit about it. For watches, which are regarded as big items by many people, the sales volume depends entirely on people''s consumption level. Although the watch counter did not explode, it lasted a long time, which is suitable for a patient operator like Lan Weicheng. After the comparison, Lan Shu found that she prefers to start a business from scratch, and likes the excitement brought to her by the process of starting a business! ¡ª In general, she really enjoys doing business. After Lan Shu walked around the third and fourth floors, she returned to the tape recorder counter on the second floor. At this moment, there were fewer people in front of the counter than before. Lan Weicheng, who was looking for a drink while he was busy, finally saw his biological daughter! "Shushu, when did you come back?" Lan Weicheng said, put down the big white tea mug in his hand, walked out from the small door next to the counter, and stood beside his daughter with a happy look on his face. Lan Shu didn''t say that she came four or five days ago, but changed the subject. "Dad, how is business doing recently?" When Lan Shu asked, Lan Weicheng immediately thought of the sales of Walkmans and the sales amount of cosmetics counters. "Business is good!" Speaking of this incident, Lan Weicheng couldn''t help grinning in a happy mood. "In the month since you left Kyoto, it is roughly estimated that our family earned nearly 20,000 yuan! With this calculation, we can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year!" Although Lan Weicheng was excited when he spoke, he also knew how to restrain himself. When talking about money, he intentionally suppressed his voice. He understands the reason why money is not revealed. After listening to Lan Weicheng''s words, Lan Shu smiled. "It''s not more than 20,000 yuan." She reminded softly, "Dad, you forgot that there is still a share in the Walkman processing factory. At that time, we each paid 15,000 yuan." "The previous 15,000 yuan, after several expansions of the current Walkman processing factory, our initial investment has already doubled several times! And there will be more and more in the future¡ª" Lan Weicheng couldn''t help but widen his eyes following his daughter''s words! That''s right, not to mention he almost forgot, now every time a Walkman is sold on the counter, what he earns is not only the profit between the purchase price and the sale, but also the shares in the Walkman factory! Lan Weicheng felt that he was really about to develop! Other people¡¯s family is full of elders¡¯ shade, and their children and grandchildren benefit, but the situation in his family is completely different. As a father, he was simply brought into prosperity by his daughter~! Lan Weicheng really thinks that his family has such a daughter because of the virtues of his ancestors! ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu originally planned to have a meal with Lan Weicheng at a nearby restaurant, but she received a phone call, which forced her to change her itinerary. The call was from her second brother Lan Xiuming. The second brother had been working in the Linjiang City Hospital before, and this month the hospital has a quota for him to go to Kyoto for a one-month study. Lan Xiuming learned that the younger sister was in Kyoto, so he called and had a get-together with the younger sister. After that, he was about to devote himself to the busy work and study in the hospital. The two made an appointment to meet, and when Lan Shu arrived, Lan Xiuming was already waiting. On a street not far from the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University School of Medicine, seeing Lan Shu, Lan Xiuming immediately waved to the little girl, and then walked straight over. Lan Xiuming didn''t come by himself, there were two friends by his side. Lan Shu is wearing a white printed long-sleeved dress today, with creamy white mid-heel pumps on her feet, and a waist rope that outlines her slender waist, making her slender. In addition to her figure, her appearance is also impeccable. As soon as such a young girl appeared, the two friends around Lan Xiuming stared at her! When Lan Xiuming came back with his little sister, the two recovered from their daze. "Xiu Ming, is this really your sister?" Xu Caizhe is from Linjiang City. He works as a doctor in the same hospital as Lan Xiuming. The two usually have a good relationship. Besides Lan Xiuming, Xu Caizhe is the second best young doctor in Linjiang Hospital! The number one is of course Lan Xiuming, but Xu Caizhe is one year younger than Lan Xiuming, so he surpasses Lan Xiuming in age, and is not much different from Lan Xiuming in technology. This time I came to the hospital in Kyoto to study and study. Their hospital has two places, so Xu Caizhe and Lan Xiuming came together. Knowing that Lan Xiuming''s younger sister is also in Kyoto, Xu Caizhe wants to meet his friend''s family no matter what. "Although you are handsome, Xiu Ming, your sister is obviously much prettier than you, and the two of you don''t seem to look alike?" In addition to Xu Caizhe, Lan Xiuming also had a young man in his twenties beside him. The young man is Shao Rui, a native of Kyoto. Two years ago, Shao Rui went to Linjiang City Hospital for an internship. After one year, he left Linjiang City and returned to Kyoto. Shao Rui was also included in the study quota this time, so the three of them naturally got together. When Lan Shu heard what the friend next to her second brother said, she smiled at the two of them and spoke up. "I am indeed Lan Xiuming''s younger sister, but I was raised by my second brother." With her identification, Xu Caizhe and Shao Rui believed it. But Lan Shu''s mood at the moment is very delicate. Because when the second brother received her just now, he whispered something to her¡ª "Little sister, my two friends in the back look like you. If you like which one, my second brother will help you introduce it!" Lan Shu: ¡­ So she looked at the eyes of the two friends next to the second brother, and she was quite sympathetic to each other. People regard her second brother as a friend, but her second brother''s friendship is based on the premise of finding a ''spare tire'' for herself... In contrast, the second brother is really kind to me. And being the second brother''s friend, it''s really miserable... Because the second brother arranged it so deliberately, even if Lan Shu didn''t have that thought, she couldn''t help but look at the two of them a few more times. Through the introduction, she got to know the two people and their names. The handsome dog-like guy with an inch head and big eyes is called Xu Caizhe. The hair is a little longer, the broken hair reaches the ears, and the cool handsome guy with slightly raised eyes is Shao Rui. As the second brother said, the two of them really look good, and they are quite pleasing to my face control. But Lan Shu found that she didn''t know when to start, and she no longer had the desire to find a partner. And hearing the arrangement of the second brother, Lan Shu suddenly thought of another person through the two of them... (end of this chapter) Chapter 222: Unusual Chapter 222 is unusual At noon, Lan Shu, her second brother, and two friends of her second brother had dinner together in a restaurant near the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University School of Medicine. The four of them ordered six dishes and two soups. Lan Xiuming knew that the little girl likes to eat sweets, so he specially ordered a rice dumpling soup made with rice wine. Among the six dishes, there is also chicken and fish, which is very rich. During the meal, Xu Caizhe was curious about the reason why Lan Shu was in the capital, but he was too embarrassed to ask the person directly, so he asked Lan Xiuming who was beside him. "Brother Xiu Ming, does your little sister work in Kyoto?" Lan Xiuming didn''t know much about this. He only knew about the toilet paper factory managed by the younger sister, and the products produced seemed to be sold in many places. So... the little girl should be considered to be working in Kyoto, right? As for the fact that the younger sister recognized relatives in the capital, it was a private matter of the family, and Lan Xiuming would not say it casually. On the opposite side, Lan Shu saw that her second brother couldn''t answer for a while. She really didn''t talk much about her career with her family. Just taking advantage of being asked about it today, she might as well have a few words with her second brother. "I''m here for work. I have a small business and I have a regular job at a TV station in Kyoto, so I come to Kyoto for a few days every month." Hearing Lan Shu''s answer, Lan Xiuming''s two friends hadn''t noticed the ''small business'' she said. The work of the TV station made Lan Xiuming and the three of them stunned. "Little sister, when did you find a job in a TV station?" This was the first time Lan Xiuming heard this from my younger sister. And what kind of fixed job, only a few days a month? Lan Shu answered honestly, "The factory advertised on TV before, so I just mentioned the new program to the leader of the TV station." "After the program proposal was approved, the deputy director of the station directly handed over the production rights of the program to me, so I joined the TV station." It was a bit of a coincidence to talk about it, so she just said a few words to the second brother casually. But the three people who heard this on the opposite side were not as calm as Lan Shu thought. Advertising in the factory? Program proposal? Program production rights? Entering a TV station? In these few short sentences, the amount of information contained is really not easy to digest for a while. Shao Rui on the side was a very calm person, and his curiosity was aroused¡ª¡ª "Is it an advertisement for Yunrou toilet paper? Is the program morning aerobics?" As a native of Kyoto, Shao Rui still knows some things that happened in Kyoto. The only merchants advertising on TV today are Yunrou toilet rolls. The morning aerobics program is also a newly added program on the TV station, which did not exist before. These two things happened to be what Shanglan Xiuming¡¯s younger sister said, so Shao Rui couldn¡¯t help but think about it. Lan Shu was quite surprised to hear the words of her second brother''s friend Dr. Shao Rui. It was all hit by him! ? So she nodded. At this moment, Lan Shu didn''t even need to answer, she had already seen the surprised expression on Shao Rui''s face. Shao Rui turned his head and gave Lan Xiuming a meaningful look. "Lan Xiuming, your little sister is really extraordinary~!" On the other hand, because Lan Xiuming doesn''t watch TV much, he doesn''t know about commercials or morning shows on TV stations. So even if Shao Rui said so, Lan Xiuming didn''t react too much. Although Xu Caizhe on the side didn''t know much about the situation, seeing Shao Rui''s expression, he only felt unclear. Brother Xiuming¡¯s younger sister is so powerful, I don¡¯t even dare to think about it¡­ After the meal, Lan Xiuming treated this meal, and Xu Caizhe and Shao Rui couldn''t compete with each other. So the two said that they would take turns paying for the next meal appointment. As for Lan Shu, even though she had a successful career and was richer than the three present, in the hearts of the three young doctors, they all felt that there was no reason for a girl to treat them, so she was happy to follow along. After dinner, there was still some time in the afternoon. Xu Caizhe and Shao Rui went back to the hospital, while Lan Xiuming chatted with his younger sister for a while. Lan Xiuming couldn''t restrain his surprise when he learned that the little girl no longer lived in the Lan family, but bought a house in Kyoto! He had heard about my younger sister buying a house in Qingyang County before. How long has it been since my younger sister even has a house in Kyoto! Lan Shu didn''t hide the matter of buying a house from her second brother, and invited her second brother to come to her house if he was free. Lan Xiuming nodded and agreed, as a brother, he would go there when he had time, and buy some gifts for the younger sister to warm up the house. After two o''clock in the afternoon, Lan Xiuming still had work in the hospital, so he didn''t chat with the younger sister for too long, so he said goodbye to the younger sister, and made an appointment to see her when he was free next week. The affiliated hospital is not far from Peking University School of Medicine, and Lan Shu came here all the time. She originally wanted to go and see Xiaobai. But after thinking about it for a while, she still gave up. Last time at Lan''s house, because of Lan Xinya''s provocation, she still remembers Xiaobai''s appearance before he left. The relationship between her and Xiaobai must find an opportunity to relax. After she finishes her work at hand, she can talk to Xiaobai~ ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu went to the eastern suburbs to see the construction of the small building. In one month, the roof of the first floor of the small building has been poured. Taking advantage of the time when the cast-in-place was shut down, half of the two-story bungalows on both sides of the yard have been covered. Negotiated with the foreman responsible for building the house, and learned that the house would be fully completed in two months. This news made Lan Shu feel difficult. In order to ensure the quantity of essential oil soaps produced by the cosmetics company, it seems that in the past two months, she has to find another place to make essential oil soaps. But soon, she thought that she still had a courtyard house near the urban area. Isn¡¯t there a place to make essential oil soap~? Lan Shu has already thought about it, anyway, the courtyard is idle anyway, so why not take advantage of it. She doesn''t plan to live in that house. It has been idle for too long, and she is afraid that the house will be abandoned. On the contrary, the house will be used by someone, and it can avoid the accelerated aging of the courtyard house. So in the evening, Zhou Di had received the news that the boss had arranged another house as the manufacturing site of their cosmetics company''s essential oil soap. ¡­ Next day, weekend. Lan Shu slept in her mansion until almost noon. On the other side, Xiaobai woke up early and returned home from school. The Gu family, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo are all there. Both work on weekends and weekends. Sometimes Gu Anhui works overtime for half a day, but he is not busy recently, so there is no need to work overtime. When Xiao Bai came back, his face was heavy. His eyes were black and blue, obviously caused by lack of sleep. This is not only because the lab has been relatively busy recently, but also because of nightmares every night. Except for the last time Xiaobai dreamed about the dream world where his business failed and the company went bankrupt, and his mother went to say good things to Gu Cheng and asked him to help her son. The next night, the dream had a follow-up... (end of this chapter) Chapter 223: The reason for the opposition Chapter 223 The reason for the opposition In the dream, Gu Cheng did not agree to his mother Wei Qiushuang''s request, and later even his father came to the door in person to ask his eldest son to help the younger one. But he was still ruthlessly rejected by Gu Cheng. When the parents lowered their stature to plead for ''myself'', the self in the dream was so decadent that he drank his sorrows all day long. It seems that the state of drowsiness after drinking can save ''myself'' from facing the trough of reality! At this time, grandpa appeared and gave ''myself'' a hard lesson. After discussing with my grandfather and grandmother, I took out most of their life savings and only hoped that ''myself'' could cheer up. But after getting the money, the first thing I did was to hire someone that would be bad for Gu Cheng! Xiaobai felt that he was no longer himself in the dream, ''his'' temperament was completely out of control in the failure, he became irrational, and he couldn''t see the concern of the family members around him in his eyes, and some only wanted revenge! A loser''s ''dying struggle'', it is conceivable that his revenge will not succeed at all. The person hired by ''myself'' with money, turned to Gu Cheng for profit, and broke ''myself''''s legs in turn! Let the already failed "self" live in a wheelchair without dignity for the rest of his life¡ª At this point in the dream, Xiaobai doesn''t want to continue ''watching'' anymore. The termination of Kemeng is not something he can decide. On the third night, in his dream, ''him'' was taken home by his parents to take good care of him. But even with the care of family affection, it can''t change ''my'' desire to die. Just imagine, for a person who has no hope and no future, life is all pain for him, and the "self" has long since lost the desire to survive. Those days were quite difficult. For him, my mother gave up her job and watched over him every day. For him, his father took over his mother every day when he came back from get off work. While taking care of himself, he also comforted his mother who shed tears every day. Seeing this, although Xiaobai knows that the current self will never let the things in the dream happen, but everything he sees in the dream will still make his heart sour, and even be affected by the dream self, causing inner pain. In the last scene of the dream, Xiaobai saw himself in the wheelchair in the same room as Gu Cheng. Then in this dream, there was a clear voice. "Gu Cheng, when did you start thinking of harming me?" Xiaobai saw that ''I'' had calmed down from the painful and insane state, and asked Gu Cheng in a deep voice. "When will it start?" Gu Cheng smiled, that kind of smile is the disdain, contempt, and ridicule of a successful person facing a loser. "If I remember correctly, it started when I was twenty..." Hearing Gu Cheng''s words, Xiaobai was stunned¡ª Gu Cheng was ten years older than him, so when he was ten years old, his half-brother was already thinking about how to harm him? Xiao Bai suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and his back felt cold. Except for Xiaobai, the "I" in the dream accepted the information very calmly. The ''self'' raised his head and met Gu Cheng''s eyes. "So when I was fourteen, you encouraged me to do business with you, but you didn''t mean it?" "Of course not! Who made you so good, not only Wei Qiushuang paved the way for you, but you are also so talented in learning!" The onlookers are clear, watching the conversation between the "self" in the dream and Gu Cheng, Xiaobai understands Gu Cheng''s intention. He was afraid that he would go up the road arranged by his mother, and he was also worried that he would study well and become a booster in his future brilliant career. That''s why he told himself that there is no point in going to school, and only doing business can make money. Once you start your own business, you will completely give up the bright future that your mother has arranged for you. And rashly entering the field that Gu Cheng is familiar with, it is impossible for him to succeed in business at that time! Xiaobai can even think that if he agrees to Gu Cheng, his future career will basically be to survive under Gu Cheng''s pressure¡ª My fourteen-year-old self didn''t go according to Chang Cheng''s plan, so something happened to my sixteen-year-old self... Xiaobai wants to ask if Gu Cheng did it when he was beaten unconscious and thrown into the river in Qingyang County! And the ''self'' in the dream also asked the same words. "So because of my disobedience, you hired someone to sneak up on me in the back and make me never go back after leaving Kyoto?" When I said this sentence, ''myself'' was quite calm. Obviously, this is not a guess, but a truth that has already been verified by "myself". It''s just that now he wants to hear Gu Cheng say it with his own ears. When Gu Cheng heard this, he sneered with a ''heh~''. He said, "I really didn''t expect that you would be so lucky. After being missing for more than three years, you came back by yourself." "It''s a pity that even if you recovered your memory and found someone to investigate those **** who almost killed you, and learned that I was behind this incident, but at that time you wanted to confront me head-on, it was not natural at all. Do what you can!" "Actually, you could pretend that you didn''t know anything, and be a waste in the Gu family with peace of mind. The relationship between us won''t be the same as it is now." "But you just want to be against me, and you are trying to beat me in the mall, it''s ridiculous!" "So it''s all because of you that you have fallen to the present situation, and you can''t blame others." Gu Cheng''s few words made Xiao Bai, who was watching, feel shocked, to angry, to hatred! He finally knew the reason why he chose to do business and was hostile to Gu Cheng in the previous dream¡ª I am indeed no match for Gu Cheng in the mall, Xiaobai knows this very well. But this is not the reason why Gu Cheng can act recklessly, calculate, and persecute himself! "Gu Cheng! If I had to do it all over again, I would still be your enemy!" Xiaobai looked at the "self" in the dream and turned all the resentment into this sentence and spit it out of his chest! At this moment, he even felt infected by the emotion of "myself" in the dream, and thought that he should have a mission to inherit¡ª But this thought was only for a moment, and Xiaobai forcibly restrained it and suppressed it in the bottom of his heart. The fact that he didn''t like Gu Cheng''s eyes has turned into an annoyance from now on. But he will use his own method to avenge himself for the assassination in Qingyang County. Instead of being influenced by the "self" in the dream, I did my best to fight Gu Cheng. Now Xiaobai has his own life besides hatred. Parents, family affection enveloped, a bright future on the road to medicine, such a self, will not give up everything, just to compete with Gu Cheng. He will make Gu Cheng pay the price, but not now. It is not advisable to hit a stone with a pebble, he will accumulate strength, and one day Gu Cheng will also experience the blow of the strong to the weak! This time, he will no longer be a mouse played and applauded by Gu Cheng, he will become a wolf lurking in the dark, and he will kill Gu Cheng with one blow! (end of this chapter) Chapter 224: overestimated Chapter 224 Overrated Kyoto, the Gu family. While Wei Qiushuang was having breakfast, he heard the sound of a key opening the door. When the door opened, she realized that it was her son who had returned. Because Xiaobai went to school and lived in school, Wei Qiushuang hadn''t seen his son for almost a month. Now that the mother and son were repeating each other, Wei Qiushuang''s mood immediately improved, and she felt that the ordinary weekend was meaningful. Gu Anguo on the side was also very happy to see his youngest son. He heard from the teacher at the school that his youngest son had succeeded in researching a new drug with a professor of pharmacy at the school not long ago. Now a new drug will be available soon, and that drug will be able to save many lives at a critical moment! Gu Anguo was not very supportive of his youngest son to study medicine at first, but now, knowing that his youngest son is so valued by school teachers and even professors at school, Gu Anguo gradually changed his mind. Perhaps the youngest son is really suitable for the path of medicine? Because the husband and wife were in a good mood, they didn''t notice the abnormal expression on Xiaobai''s face at the first time. Waiting for Xiaobai to walk through the yard and walk into the living room, Wei Qiushuang noticed his son''s serious face. "What happened?" Wei Qiushuang got up from the dining table and walked quickly towards her son with a worried face. Xiaobai stopped and looked at his parents, his heavy heart gradually warmed up. In the dream, he can clearly see how his parents treat him well. He has both motherly love and fatherly love, which makes Xiaobai feel at ease and stable. "It''s nothing." Xiaobai shook his head lightly and replied to his mother. Everything that happened in my dream, even if I told it, my parents would not believe it. On the contrary, it will put parents in a difficult situation early, and even cause family conflicts. So Xiaobai will not tell what happened in the dream, he will only collect evidence secretly. Since the other person can find out that Gu Cheng is the person who ordered the gangsters to attack him in Qingyang County, then of course he can too! Xiaobai has decided to live in Qingyang County for a period of time during this summer vacation, to see if there are any clues. The reason why he came back today is not only to see his parents, but also to meet Gu Cheng through his parents. When he didn''t experience the dream on the second and third day, Xiaobai thought about talking to Gu Cheng. He felt that if there were any conflicts between the brothers, they could talk about it. He didn''t want to go to the scene where he confronted Gu Cheng. But the dream of the next two days made Xiaobai change his mind. If I rashly approach Gu Cheng, I will be in the mouth of a tiger! Gu Cheng was able to persecute himself when he was ten years old, and find someone to kill him secretly when he was sixteen. Now if he finds out that he knows everything, it will only get worse! He wanted to meet Gu Cheng to understand the current business situation of the other party, and to test whether Gu Cheng had any idea of ??"making a move" on him again. Know yourself and the enemy, and then you can respond at any time according to the development of the situation. So Xiaobai smiled relaxedly, and said to his father who was walking behind his mother, "Dad, I haven''t been back for a long time. Let''s get together as a family at noon. You can call Gu Chengye." "Family gathering?" Gu Anguo was slightly taken aback, then looked at his wife. The elder son''s divorce from the Lan family made his wife very angry. Plus the eldest son is busy with business, so the father and son haven''t seen each other in the past few months. Now it is rare for the youngest son to take the initiative to bring up this matter. Gu Anguo thinks this is a good opportunity to ease the family relationship. So Gu Anguo readily agreed¡ª So when it was time for lunch, Xiaobai met Gu Cheng who was called home by his father as he wished. ¡­ At noon, Gu Anguo made lunch. It is rare that both the eldest son and the youngest son eat at home, but Gu Anguo put a lot of thought into it. He made five dishes and one soup, which was very hearty. In front of the dining table, Gu Cheng, who has not been home for half a year, is a little unfamiliar with this family. But he was not restrained. Now Gu Cheng has a successful career. His electrical appliance company is doing very well in Kyoto and Haicheng. Gu Cheng even plans to open the company to Yuanping City in the second half of the year! Business and financial resources are his confidence, so today''s Gu Cheng no longer feels restrained because of any occasion, he thinks that no matter where he goes, wherever he goes will be his home field! When the family sits down to eat together, it is inevitable that they will talk about the career development of the two sons. Gu Cheng is not at all stingy with this opportunity to perform. And he also wants to know how Gu Jue has been at school in the past few months. So as the eldest brother, he was the first to speak as a watch¡ª "The situation in my company has always been stable. This year''s sales are higher than last year, and the profits are very considerable." "The few electrical stores and electrical stores I opened in Kyoto earn tens of thousands of profits every month. This month, only the Kyoto side earned 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, and the Haicheng side only opened less than 30,000 yuan. In half a year, there is an income of almost 20,000 a month." "My company''s total revenue last year was more than 400,000, and it is estimated that it will reach 600,000 this year. It is no problem! By the way, I bought a car at the end of last year. It was a Santana. It cost Eighteen thousand." Surrounded by his own family members, Gu Cheng wanted to show off from the beginning, so he didn''t hide anything about the company''s earnings. Xiaobai originally thought that Gu Cheng''s business was very big, but now that he heard the specific situation, Xiaobai immediately let go of his original guard~! He realized that he really overestimated Gu Cheng before... But thinking about it again, the Gu Cheng I was facing in the dream was the Gu Cheng who would be at least three or four years later. Now, Gu Cheng''s business has just started not long ago, and it has been only two or less than three years since the country liberalized the policy to allow individuals to do business. It is already very impressive for Gu Cheng to make his business achieve an annual income of hundreds of thousands. With more money, he may be able to do it in the future, but it is not yet time. And Xiaobai himself, in addition to holding shares in the toilet paper factory, also invested in the electronic information industry. Lan Shu said that the direction of electronic information is the future that will make the most money! Although his investment has not waited for the harvest, the electronic information industry will make money sooner or later. Now that there is not much difference in time to start, Xiaobai knows that he is not as good as Gu Cheng in terms of business ability, but the result of investing and making money is not certain! With money, everything will change in the future. Even if Xiaobai doesn¡¯t have the concept of ¡®money is omnipotent¡¯ in his mind, he probably understands that money can decide and accomplish many things. It¡¯s like Gu Cheng¡¯s showing off now, he has the capital to show off because he has money¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 225: Significant? Chapter 225 Intentionally hiding clumsiness? After Gu Cheng finished talking about his situation, it was Xiaobai''s turn to talk about it. Xiaobai did not pour out all his affairs like Gu Cheng did. With the dream memory of more than ten years later, he knew that Gu Cheng wanted to kill him because he didn''t want him to rise in career, and he didn''t want him as a younger brother to be better than his elder brother! Therefore, Xiaobai never mentioned the matter of investment, but just picked and picked and said a few words about his studies in Peking University School of Medicine. ¡°I just go to class and study at school, nothing special.¡± "However, the classes that medical students need to take are really not that easy. When I first went to school for a week, the teacher taught us to get needles. I didn''t dare to do it at first, but after several days of mental training for myself, I was successful. Practice acupuncture with your classmates." "During those few days of study, the back of my hands was full of pinholes and bruises." What Xiaobai said were all things that actually happened in school. But it didn''t happen to him, but the classmate who was the slowest student in the class before he skipped a grade. He told the real experience of others, and outsiders couldn''t tell what was wrong after hearing it. And he never mentioned that he skipped a level in a short time¡ª After Xiaobai finished speaking, sure enough, he noticed the disdainful expression on Gu Cheng''s face. On the opposite side, Gu Anguo was slightly taken aback when he heard about his youngest son''s experience... According to the feedback he heard from the school teacher, how could his youngest son be stumped even by getting a needle? "Gu Jue, didn''t you follow your school''s professors to research new drugs a while ago?" Gu Anguo asked. "Yes." Xiaobai took the words very naturally, nodded and answered. "I only found out after I arrived at the school that the doctor Chen who came to my home to see a doctor before was an old acquaintance with Professor Zhang of our school, so for the sake of Dr. Chen, Professor Zhang was willing to take me in research. .¡± "Dad, you don''t know that in our laboratory, except for me, the lowest-educated graduate students are all graduate students, so I can''t help them much, and I haven''t learned anything. I just participate in the research of new drugs. Get a better reputation." Hearing what he said, Gu Anguo was a little disappointed with his youngest son. And Gu Cheng looked at the half-brother in front of him, the contempt and disdain in his eyes were even more obvious! Only Wei Qiushuang had doubts in his eyes. Maybe Gu Anguo didn''t know the specific situation of his youngest son in school, but Wei Qiushuang did! My son''s medical talent has been mentioned by Professor Zhang in front of his father more than once. So Wei Qiushuang knew clearly that her son skipped a grade within a week of entering school, and even skipped after that! Even he followed Professor Zhang''s new drug research team, but it wasn''t completely useless. Wei Qiushuang is not very clear about the details, but one thing she knows is that the name of the new drug was given by her son¡ª Being able to obtain the right to name the new drug among so many people in the laboratory is enough to show that his son is not an inconspicuous person in the research team of the new drug. Wei Qiushuang didn''t know why Gu Jue deliberately concealed his study situation. But she didn''t reveal the matter. The son naturally had his own intentions in doing this. As a mother, I can''t hold back. But Wei Qiushuang faintly felt that this incident might have something to do with Gu Cheng? Including the meal that the family got together at noon today, it should also be intentional by the son. so¡­ What happened between the son and Gu Cheng? Why did he intentionally hide his clumsiness in front of Gu Cheng? Wei Qiushuang fell into deep thought... After the meal, Gu Cheng proudly showed off his success in front of his parents. In contrast, Xiao Bai, the youngest son of the Gu family, looks ordinary... Gu Cheng was very satisfied with the result, so he felt extremely refreshed after eating this meal~! After the meal, he didn''t leave in a hurry, but moved from the dining room to the living room, and chatted with his incompetent younger brother at home for a while. "If you had listened to me back then, you might have been able to earn a lot of money every month now. It''s a pity that you insist on going to school. Now you know how difficult it is to go to school?" Gu Cheng felt that such a younger brother had no right to compete with him for a woman! Although Gu Jue has an outstanding appearance, he has no ability. How far can this kind of waste travel from home? A successful woman like Lan Shu is the same kind of person as herself¡ª She won''t like Gu Jue at all! So the meeting between the two brothers today made Xiaobai reassess Gu Cheng, and also made Gu Cheng no longer pay attention to himself, a good-for-nothing younger brother who can only rely on his family. Before evening, Gu Cheng left the Gu family. Before he left, he didn''t forget to say one last thing, "By the way, I bought a house in Kyoto, but I haven''t told you where it is." "Dad, Mom, Gu Jue, if you are free, you can contact me in advance, and I will take you to the house when the time comes." "It''s at No. 178 Chang''an Street. It''s a small two-story western-style building with a garden. The environment there is much better than in the courtyard. So if you have money, I suggest you buy a bigger house so that you can live comfortably. .¡± After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng smiled, got up and walked out of the house¡ª Leave Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang stunned and frowning! Gu Anguo did not expect that his son would dislike the home he grew up in, and felt that the house here was not good. And Wei Qiushuang thought of more. Gu Cheng is purely because he despises his family for being poor after he has become rich! Even if the conditions of the Gu family are already superior compared to many ordinary families, in the eyes of Gu Cheng today, they are not eye-catching! Gu Anguo was originally happy because of the family reunion, but now, he found that his eldest son had really changed¡ª¡ª Completely changed from an obedient and reasonable boy at the beginning, to becoming defiant because of the money! Even his parents didn''t have the respect they should have in his eyes. "Alas~" Gu Anguo sighed. But he can''t change the current situation. He looked at Xiaobai and thought to himself, fortunately there is still a young son at home... In the past, Gu Anguo hoped that all his sons would be capable and capable. But now, he suddenly felt that being ordinary was also a blessing. If the youngest son is really not good enough in professional ability, he will not force it. He even hoped that his youngest son could be mediocre. At least that kind of Gu Jue will not dislike the family, and can stay by their side and be their most caring child. Unfortunately, Gu Anguo''s wish is destined to fail to come true. Because his youngest son will surely be far superior to the eldest son in the future¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu spent her weekend quite leisurely. Auntie Man, who was in charge of cleaning at home, knew that Miss Lan was back, so she went out to buy ingredients immediately after cleaning, and made a decent lunch for Miss Lan when she came back. (end of this chapter) Chapter 226: Makeup products Chapter 226 Makeup Products Because breakfast and lunch are eaten together, it is already past one in the afternoon after the meal. After dinner, Lan Shu went out to the largest clothing store in Kyoto, and asked Yu Yuan about the recent business situation of the clothing agencies he was in charge of. As the regional manager of the factory, Yu Yuan has enough ability to match this position. In less than a month, Yu Yuan''s clothing agency has grown from more than thirty to nearly fifty. According to Yu Yuan, in fact, he can develop more clothing agencies than this. Now the clothes of their Yunshu clothing brand have gained a lot of fame in the south and the north. More and more clothing stores want to join and become agents. In the case of too many choices, these stores have to accept Yu Yuan''s qualification review of their stores. Yu Yuan has set the standards for joining the agency, and small clothing stores are not qualified to become an agency at all. Only medium-sized and above clothing stores can cooperate with their Yunshu brand. Yu Yuan was able to think of these things, which really surprised Lan Shu. Based on Lanshu''s initial positioning of the clothing in her clothing factory, the clothing of Yunshu''s clothing brand is indeed to follow the mid-to-high-end route. Yu Yuan''s joining cooperation conditions directly screen out those small clothing stores that sell low-end sales. Before this, Lan Shu''s requirement for the factory was to develop agency stores and directly-operated stores, and even ignored the requirements for cooperative stores. Yu Yuan deserves to be a seasoned businessman. He can think of this, which can be said to help the factory avoid detours. With Yu Yuan''s inspiration, Lan Shu will also hand over these joining conditions to the factory as soon as possible, and let the salesmen in the factory carry out¡ª After leaving the clothing store, Lan Shu went to Zhou Di and Chen Ping again. She left a key of the courtyard to Zhou Di, and the production of essential oil soap was moved to the courtyard in the future. The small building with a courtyard that is rented now is only for skin care products. A month before Lan Shu left Kyoto, Chen Ping developed a new formula of skin care products based on aloe vera essential oil water cream. Different from the previous set of skin care products, this time there are two separate essence waters. Loofah water has the effects of whitening, anti-wrinkle and moisturizing. Cucumber water supplements vitamin C and vitamin E, whitens and removes spots, replenishes water, and resists oxidation. In addition, cucumber water can also improve rough skin and enlarged pores. The production of the two kinds of essence water is simple and the cost is low. Compared with the previous aloe vera essence water, it is cheaper. A 100ml bottle of loofah water or cucumber water can be bought for only two yuan. In this way, some women who are reluctant to spend too much money on skin care can also have the opportunity to experience this most basic skin care product. After they develop the concept of skin care in their hearts, they will become potential customers of her company''s mid-to-high-end skin care products in the future! With loofah water and cucumber water, Lan Shu has already considered producing a compressed mask that can be used with the two basic moisturizing waters. The non-woven fabrics needed for facial masks can be produced by toilet paper factories. In addition to the compressed mask, if the makeup products are produced later, the cotton pad is also a must-have! And make-up is the main purpose of Lan Shu''s visit to Chen Ping and Zhou Di this time. "After skin care products, from next month, our Lan''s Cosmetics Company will start producing a series of make-up products." In the small courtyard where cosmetics are developed, in the office on the first floor, Lan Shu held a small meeting with Chen Ping and Zhou Di. In the whole small meeting, it was basically Lan Shu who spoke, and Chen Ping and Zhou Di took notes seriously. Lan Shu is very detailed about makeup products. "The existing lipsticks can''t meet the needs of all women, so we need to produce as many lipsticks as possible. Even if it is red, there are dozens of different shades of red." Lan Shu said. Producing lipsticks of various colors is an important project for their next research on cosmetics. "In addition to lipstick, there are too few eye shadow colors on the market. I plan to launch a makeup palette. The makeup in each makeup palette does not need to be colorful, but a makeup palette is matched according to the color system." "As for the classification of the makeup palette, I plan to present three color systems first, natural makeup, sweet makeup and smoky makeup..." What Lan Shu said, Zhou Di and Chen Ping still can''t understand. But after her detailed explanation, the two finally knew the selection of the color system. ¡°As for the pigments for eye shadow makeup, it is best to extract them from plants or minerals.¡± After all, their Lan''s cosmetics mainly focus on the name of pure plants, so they still have to insist on making products that are natural and harmless. After lipstick and makeup, the rest is powder and liquid foundation. These two things are much easier to explain. How to formulate a liquid foundation with strong concealing ability and not easy to remove makeup is what Chen Ping and Zhou Di need to worry about. Compared with liquid foundation, the setting effect of pressed powder is much simpler, and it can be carried out by referring to the original production method of make-up. The last three-person meeting lasted until it got dark outside. After the meeting, Lan Shu waved goodbye to Chen Ping and Zhou Di, and then left. ¡­ In the urban area of ??Kyoto, because it was too late, she missed the bus, so it became a big problem for Lan Shu to go home. Fortunately, the yard he rented to research and produce cosmetics is not far from Huaxia Shopping Mall. So at a critical moment, Lan Shu called her father, and soon Lan Weicheng came to pick him up. Lan Weicheng rode a bicycle, carrying his daughter, and headed towards Chang''an Avenue. With a bicycle as a means of transportation, the road will be much faster. In addition, the location of Huaxia Shopping Center is not too far from Chang''an Avenue. Twenty minutes later, the father and daughter have arrived at Chang''an Avenue. Along the way, the two talked while walking¡ª "Shushu, the last time you came to see me, we father and daughter didn''t have time to sit down and have a meal together. Do you have anything to do tomorrow? If you have time, go home and have a meal at night?" Lan Shu has no objection to Lan Weicheng''s invitation. But she thought about it, and then replied, "I won''t eat at home tomorrow night. Our family hasn''t been together for a long time. Go out and eat something good in a restaurant?" Of course Lan Weicheng agreed. "Where do you want to eat, Shushu? Dad, please book a box in advance." "It''s at the Kyoto Hotel." Lan Shu had eaten there before, and the dishes and taste were still very good. Lan Weicheng nodded and said "OK." There are street lamps on Chang''an Avenue, which are brightly lit all night. Bicycles are walking on the street, and the sight is not affected at all. There are high-end residences nearby, and there is not much traffic, so when a car appears on the road, it is very conspicuous! Seeing the black Santana, both Lan Shu and Lan Weicheng couldn''t help but take another look. (end of this chapter) Chapter 227: Have a problem with your brain? Chapter 227 Is there something wrong with your brain? Lan Shu was about to tell his father to buy a car next year so that it would be easier to run when he saw the car stopped on the side of the road 20 meters away in front of them. The car door opened, and a short-cut man wearing a blue pinstripe shirt, brown trousers, and black leather shoes stepped out¡ª Gu Cheng never expected to meet Lan Shu at the door of his house! As for Lan Weicheng behind Lan Shu... When his eyes swept over the other party, he selectively ignored it at the first time. Gu Cheng felt that since the capital is so big, he didn''t intentionally create opportunities, but he was able to meet the woman he liked. Isn''t this fate? So Gu Cheng cherishes this opportunity to meet Lan Shu very much! "Lan Shu, when did you come to Kyoto?" Gu Cheng was in such a good mood when he saw someone he liked, so he even forgot Lan Shu''s ruthless rejection and disgust for him last time! Maybe it¡¯s because what you can¡¯t get is the best, so even if you felt frustrated before, Gu Cheng never admit defeat or give up. On the opposite side, Lan Shu saw Gu Cheng at this time, and she simply felt that she had some bad luck recently? Kyoto is so big, she unexpectedly met the person she least wanted to see near her home! And seeing that Gu Cheng appeared here so late, there is a high probability that Gu Cheng lives on Chang''an Avenue¡ª If that is the case, isn¡¯t his home very close to my home? Thinking of this, Lan Shu couldn''t help but roll her eyes in her heart. Besides, Lan Weicheng didn''t expect to see Gu Cheng here at night. Lan Weicheng didn''t have a good impression of Gu Cheng. The originally gentle, virtuous and considerate adopted daughter in his family, because of Gu Cheng''s betrayal, now she has become selfish and jealous, and she is completely different from her former self! On the other hand, Gu Cheng, after the divorce, his life went on as usual without any influence. How could Lan Weicheng not be angry? So when he learned that Gu Cheng had ambitions for his family, Lan Weicheng''s first reaction when he saw Gu Cheng was to put his daughter behind him¡ª "Why are you here?" Lan Weicheng''s tone was guarded. "Me?" Gu Cheng was asked, the comfort of showing off at home during the day hadn''t faded away, after being asked now, he immediately took the lead! "Of course I live near here." After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng looked at Lan Weicheng, then at Lan Shu, and then asked tentatively, "The Lan family also bought a house on Chang''an Street?" The houses on Chang¡¯an Avenue are not cheap, and most of the time they cannot be bought with money. Based on Gu Cheng''s estimation of the Lan family''s financial resources, in his opinion, Lan Weicheng has been in business for the past two years, with a deposit of 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in his hand, it will be enough! The Lan family is very courageous in spending money if they can spend at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy a house! At this time, Gu Cheng never thought that Lan Shu would buy a house in Kyoto. Because he knew that Lan Shu''s business was in a small county town in Linjiang City, so it was impossible for her to leave her business behind and come to Kyoto to settle down. Across the street, Lan Weicheng originally wanted to explain that he didn''t buy a house on this street, but his daughter bought it. But just as he was about to speak, Lan Shu pulled his clothes from behind as a reminder. Lan Shu didn''t want Gu Cheng to know that she lived here alone. Province Gu Cheng''s brain became hot, and he might be blocked at her door at some point¡ª Fortunately, Lan Weicheng has always been good at observing words and expressions, and his brain is also flexible. He quickly understood this little move of his daughter. Lan Weicheng looked at Gu Cheng with a cold face, with displeasure in his tone. "Whether my family buys a house or not has nothing to do with you!" After speaking, he was about to take his daughter home, but he heard Gu Cheng''s voice again. "What number do you live in? I live in No. 178, and we will be considered neighbors in the future." Hearing this, Lan Shu''s face turned dark immediately, wondering if Gu Cheng was intentionally disgusting her? At first, she wasn''t ready to talk to Gu Cheng, but now she couldn''t take it anymore! "Who is your neighbor? We live in Chang''an Avenue, where we live at a distance of more than 100, and our house is far away from where you live!" I live in No. 100 on Chang''an Avenue, which is far away? Hearing this sentence, Gu Cheng was dumbfounded! The house on Chang''an Avenue is the best house in the center of Kyoto! He understood that Lan Shu said this because she didn''t want to have anything to do with him. This extinguished Gu Cheng''s originally enthusiastic enthusiasm... "Lan Shu, the relationship between us must be so tense, there is no room for relaxation?" Gu Cheng sincerely wants to live in peace with Lan Shu. He doesn''t expect Lan Shu to have a good impression of him, at least he can give him a chance to express himself and let her know himself. It''s a pity that for Gu Cheng''s persistence, let alone Lan Shu, the Lan family will not forgive him for dumping Lan Xinya at Gu Cheng. "It''s better not to waste your time on me. I''ve already made it clear that it''s absolutely impossible between you and me! If you''re so careless, you might as well care about Lan Xinya. Only she can tolerate your old-fashioned attitude." , and greasy scumbag!" Speaking of which, Lan Shu pointedly glanced at the inch-long hair on top of Gu Cheng''s head. Before, Gu Cheng''s hair was relatively long, and he combed it with hairspray from the front to the back. It was oily and slippery, giving him the feeling of a greasy old man. And now, I don''t know what he was thinking, but he cut his hair short. The hairstyle of the inch head is only suitable for people with good looks. She looks a little short, this hairstyle is a disadvantage for the face shape! Although Gu Cheng is not ugly, but his Chinese character face, coupled with the inch-cut hairstyle, is really good-looking at first, but now his appearance can''t stand the hairstyle, and he has changed from a greasy old man to an ugly man. up! Gu Cheng once again heard that Lan Shu thought he was old. He was not yet twenty-eight years old, and suddenly began to wonder if he was really old? Indeed, most twenty-eight-year-old men are already married, have children and have families, but he is still alone... Originally, Gu Cheng thought that he had a successful career, was rich in business and opened a store, and he was simply a diamond king in the eyes of the opposite sex! But now, the self-confidence he can show in front of everyone has been repeatedly hit in front of Lan Shu. Even he changed his hairstyle specially to make himself look younger, but in Lan Shu''s eyes, he still didn''t stand out. Could it be that I really lost because of my youth? Could it be that Lan Shu only looks for looks when looking for a partner? My ability doesn''t add any points at all? Aside, it was the first time that Lan Weicheng saw and heard his daughter belittle Gu Cheng with such words! Originally, Lan Weicheng thought that Gu Cheng would definitely become angry because of his daughter''s words. But he didn''t expect that Gu Cheng''s appearance was not even the slightest bit angry! Some just self-doubt? Lan Weicheng was dumbfounded! He discovered for the first time that Gu Cheng, who is so beautiful outside, has such a temper in private... crazy. Even after being hit like this, he still continued to pester her. Gu Cheng must have a brain problem, right? (end of this chapter) Chapter 228: freezing effect Chapter 228 Freezing Effect Lan Shu''s entanglement with Gu Cheng ended with one word, "Get lost!" After finishing speaking, she patted Lan Weicheng on the back, "Dad, let''s go home." Lan Weicheng didn''t hesitate here either. He put on his bicycle and quickly rode far away. Although the surrounding street lights at night make the line of sight unaffected at close range, but farther away, the figures of father and daughter soon disappeared from Gu Cheng''s sight. Gu Cheng''s face turned white and blue, and the feeling of emaciation made his complexion very ugly. At this time, he had confirmed that the Lan family had indeed bought a house on Chang''an Avenue, and it was obvious that the house the Lan family bought was far away from his No. 178. Thinking of Lan Shu''s look down on houses with house numbers after 100... Gu Cheng was surprised that the Lan family bought a house before No. 100? The house there is obviously much more luxurious than the place where he lives now, and it can''t be bought for 20,000 to 30,000. The Lan family has so much money? It seems that Lan Shu paid for the purchase of the house by the Lan family. Lan Shu can treat the Lan family couple so well, it seems that she sincerely recognizes the couple as parents. It can be seen from this that if I want Lan Shu to change her current impression of herself, I must also make the Lan family and his wife change their views of themselves... ¡­ On the other side, after Lan Weicheng sent his daughter home, he rode his bicycle back home without much delay. Lan Shu originally wanted to stay with her father for dinner, but Lan Weicheng thought that the family would get together tomorrow night, so she didn''t stay for dinner. No. 99, Chang''an Avenue, after Lan Shu came back, Aunt Man hadn''t left yet. Although Auntie Man is in charge of cleaning the mansion, she feels that the main house usually doesn''t come back for a whole month~ the whole month, and her work is too leisurely! Now that Ms. Lan is back, she must do more and show more to satisfy Ms. Lan. In this way, your work can last for a long time! So seeing Miss Lan coming back, Aunt Man immediately cooked. In just over half an hour, she cooked two dishes and cooked porridge. "Miss Lan, do you like steamed buns?" Auntie Man asked while Lan Shu was eating. "If you like it, I will wrap some steamed buns tomorrow and put them in the refrigerator. When you want to eat them, just take them out and heat them up in the pan." When Lan Shu heard about it, she thought it would be convenient to eat frozen buns, so she nodded. "Yes, I can also pack some thin-skinned steamed buns with green onions and pork fillings. The uncooked ones can be frozen directly in the refrigerator. When you want to eat them, take them out and steam them in the pan for ten minutes before they are cooked. It is fresher to eat that way." Aunt Man nodded after hearing this, thinking that what Miss Lan said was a good idea. It''s just that the refrigerator is too small, and I don''t think there are many things in it. Aside, Lan Shu also thought of this when she was drinking porridge, so she said, "I''ll buy another freezer when I go out tomorrow. There''s too little room in the freezer, so the freezer is better." And it''s going to be hot soon, she can also make some popsicles and put them in the freezer. Compared to the saccharin coloring popsicles and bagged ''cold ice'' saccharin coloring ice cubes that can be seen on the market in summer, Lan Shu still hopes that she can eat some healthy and delicious cold drinks. When Aunt Man heard that Miss Lan wanted to buy a freezer, she immediately nodded with a smile on her face. With the freezer, she can do more things for Miss Lan! ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu didn''t sleep in in the morning and got up at eight o''clock. Downstairs, Aunt Man, who came to clean up early in the morning, heard the movement upstairs and immediately started making breakfast. She came here before seven o''clock today. She chopped some minced meat in the kitchen, added green onions, soy sauce, and some salt, and baked dozens of small buns the size of eggs. Steam it in a pot now, and it will be ready soon. There is also eight-treasure porridge cooked in the pot. It has been boiled on low heat for an hour. It is very soft and glutinous, and it can be eaten when it is filled. So after Lan Shu washed up and went downstairs, she ate hot steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge with rock sugar. After breakfast, Lan Shu went out. In the yard, Master Tian was pruning flower branches. Seeing Miss Lan coming out of the house, Master Tian greeted everyone with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Lan." Although Mr. Tian majored in gardening when he was in school, it is not easy to get a job in this major. In the past, in order to make money to support his family, he could only enter the factory to do the most basic work. At the beginning, Yu¡¯s boss approached him and asked him if he would like to continue to do professional work. Knowing that he was going to a rich family to raise the flowers and trees in the yard, Master Tian hesitated a little. It¡¯s not that he¡¯s not interested in growing flowers and trees, but that he¡¯s afraid of going to a rich family and sending them to work for others. It was because the boss said that the salary was high, and the population of the owner''s family was not complicated, so he promised not to treat the people who worked below him harshly, so Master Tian quit his job to become a gardener. At first, he was worried, but after working for more than a month, he found that his previous worries were really too much! In such a large yard, all the garden vegetation is managed by himself. How to grow it is up to him, and the owner will not interfere with him at all. This made Master Tian very happy to work. While raising the flowers and trees, he devoted more attention to the beautiful scenery of the garden. This month, in addition to cultivating the original flowers and trees in the yard, he also bought some seeds to grow seedlings of other kinds of flowers and trees. When Miss Lan comes back next month, the blooming flowers in the yard will be even more beautiful! As for the money to buy seeds, because seeds are not expensive, you can buy a lot for one yuan, so Master Tian doesn''t care about these. He even felt that the master''s house could provide such a large and beautiful yard for him to plant and beautify, and he was already content. Being able to stay with the beautiful plant landscape every day is simply the dream job of Master Tian! ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu left her mansion and walked for a while before getting on the bus. If you want to buy a freezer, you can find them on the second floor of Huaxia Mall. Waiting for the bus for 20 minutes, taking the bus for 15 minutes, and after more than half an hour, Lan Shu arrived at the destination. Arriving at the mall, Lan Shu didn''t go to her counter, but looked at the refrigerator first. Today''s refrigerators are very simple in style, only the refrigerator with upper and lower doors, the bottom is cooled, and the temperature of the top can be adjusted to two or three degrees to keep fresh. Such refrigerators are said to keep fresh, but in fact the effect is very poor. Its preservation does not have any technology at all, it just keeps the temperature of the fresh-keeping room so that the ingredients are not easy to deteriorate. It¡¯s okay for a short period of time for a day or two. After a long time, the vegetables and meat should be bad or bad. So the function of the fresh-keeping room is actually very weak, and the freezer is useful, but it only freezes any ingredients into ice cubes, and there is no function of freezing without ice. If something like that is frozen for a long time, the moisture will be frozen out. Even if it is sealed well, it will affect the taste to a certain extent. Especially meat, if it is frozen for a long time, it will not taste good, and it will be very bad. Please do one thing, please give a five-star review after reading the novel~ Please In the past two days, the novel has been maliciously brushed low, and the score has dropped. It needs everyone to score more to get it back. Thank you everyone~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 229: a family of three Chapter 229 A family of three In addition to the refrigerator, there is also a large freezer about one meter horizontal for sale. The freezer only has the freezing function, except for the large capacity, the freezing effect is the same as that of the refrigerator. Although Lan Shu is well aware of the shortcomings of refrigerators and freezers, she has no choice at the current level of technology. So Lan Shu didn''t have to choose, and just bought a newest freezer, which cost more than 200 yuan. After buying the freezer, there are many pullers on tricycles outside the mall, and they can deliver the freezer to the home for only 80 cents. Lan Shu found the delivery person, waited for the freezer to be pulled out of the warehouse, tied it up in the car, and transported it to No. 99 Chang''an Avenue. She didn''t go back with the car, but called her residence and told Aunt Man to pay attention to receiving the freezer. The house Lan Shu bought was equipped with a landline telephone, and the phone line pulled by the previous owner of the house was not dismantled when the house was sold, but later Lan Shu took the time to go to the communications department and change the user of the phone number for future convenience. Pay the phone bill every month. In addition to the fixed telephone, the previous homeowner left behind a complete set of electrical appliances, including TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. It''s just that the style of electrical appliances is not so new. Although the TV is color, it is only 14 inches. The washing machine is the most basic function. It can only be rinsed, not spin-dried. As for the refrigerator, the old model in previous years has a small capacity, and the new refrigerator released this year can only hold more things. So she must buy this freezer today! Watching the tricycle delivery master take away her newly bought freezer, Lan Shu is not at all worried that the more than 200 freezers will be taken away casually, and will be lost halfway. The masters who deliver goods outside this mall are familiar faces to each other. What they do is physical labor, relying on this job to earn money to support their families, and there is no need to ruin future job opportunities for the sake of getting cheap once. And if something like a delivery man disappears while playing with electrical appliances, call the police directly, and the person will be found in a short time. After buying the freezer, Lan Shu went to the tape recorder counter at the other end of the electrical appliance store on the second floor, and said hello to Lan Weicheng. Yesterday she made an appointment with her father to have dinner together. Although she didn''t arrive at noon, Lan Shu didn''t plan to go anywhere else. If she travels a few more places, maybe there will be something waiting for her to deal with. It will be bad if you miss the appointment by then. Lan Shu stayed in the mall for a long time, and she was not idle. She did a detailed market research at the cosmetics counter on the third floor to understand the needs of many female customers for skin care products and cosmetics. At six o''clock in the evening, although the shopping mall was still busy, Lan Weicheng let himself off work early because of an appointment. I went upstairs to pick up my daughter, and the father and daughter rode a bicycle to the Kyoto Hotel. While on the road, Lan Weicheng suddenly asked his daughter, "Shushu, did you quarrel with Gu Cheng before, did you use that tone?" Lan Shu didn''t expect her father to suddenly mention Gu Cheng. But since he wanted to know, he would not hesitate to answer. "Almost, I''ve made it very clear to him that I don''t like his style, but he still doesn''t give up." "Then you scolded him?" Lan Weicheng asked again. "Well, the scolding without profanity is at most saying that he is disgusting and telling him not to appear in front of me again." Lan Shu replied calmly. Lan Weicheng: ¡­ A man with a successful career was so shocked by a woman saying disgusting to his face. He couldn''t understand why Gu Cheng still came to pester his daughter? Gu Cheng is usually praised too much by others, does he like to seek scolding? Besides that, Lan Weicheng was a little curious¡ª "Shushu, you don''t like Gu Cheng, so what kind of man do you like?" Lan Weicheng is very concerned about this matter. Although his daughter has experienced a failed marriage, she is still young and will have a great time in the future! If he can know what kind of man his daughter likes, then he will pay more attention in the future and help his daughter find a few suitable candidates. Lan Shu was asked suddenly, she didn''t feel embarrassed, she opened her mouth and answered, "You can''t be too short, you''re good-looking~!" After saying this, Xiaobai''s shadow suddenly flashed in her mind inappropriately for a moment¡ª Lan Shu: ¡­ She really didn''t mean that! And Lan Weicheng thought of even more. Last time he heard from his wife that the youngest son of the Gu family said that he liked their daughter in front of her, but in the end he was rejected by his daughter. But looking at it now, the criteria for choosing a spouse mentioned by the daughter, in fact, the appearance of the youngest son of the Gu family is very suitable. So does Shu Shu have any thoughts about Gu Jue? Lan Weicheng is not sure, he thinks this matter remains to be seen¡ª ¡­ At half past six in the evening, Lan Shu and Lan Weicheng arrived at the Kyoto Hotel. The father and daughter sat in the private room and waited for a while before Xu Shan''s late arrival. Xu Shan got off work at 6:30, and it took some time to rush over, so she was a little late. The whole family gathered together. As for Lan Xinya, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan tacitly did not invite their adopted daughter to reunite tonight. The two of them could see clearly that there was a disagreement between Xin Ya and Shu Shu, and both of them felt uncomfortable when they met, so it would be better to separate and have nothing to do with each other. After a series of getting along with the two daughters before, now Xu Shan no longer insists that her two daughters can get along well. So this evening meal is just their family of three. Before coming here, Xu Shan had already told Xinya this morning that the couple had something to do in the evening, so they would not eat at home, so she asked her to eat outside. At that time, Xinya had no objection, and nodded in response, "Got it." Xu Shan didn''t tell her adoptive daughter that she and Lan Weicheng were going to have dinner with Shushu at night, because she knew that once Xinya knew that the three of them were together and left her alone, she would definitely feel uncomfortable. She may even do something bad in a fit of anger. In the restaurant, the three of them ate, and they didn''t order less. During the Chinese New Year, Lan Shu lived in Lan''s house for a while, so Xu Shan, a mother, knows her preferences and tastes very clearly. Now there is no need for Lan Shu to speak, Xu Shan has already skillfully ordered the dishes. "One sweet and sour carp, one braised pork, fried mushrooms, cauliflower, fried lotus root slices, spicy chicken, and a rice dumpling soup with wine, and a hot and sour soup." Xu Shan is used to eating independently, and she doesn''t even need Lan Weicheng to intervene in the process of ordering. When Lan Shu heard these dishes, she glanced sideways at her mother. She really knows her own taste in eating. Six dishes and two soups, served very quickly, the family of three who ate this meal was happy and comfortable. (end of this chapter) Chapter 230: treat you to a meal Chapter 230 Treat you to a meal At this time, besides the three members of the Lan family, Lan Xinya who was ordered by Xu Shan to eat outside was also eating in the Jingdu Hotel! Lan Xinya was not the only one who came to the Kyoto Hotel. When she got off work this evening, Lan Xinya walked out of the factory gate, and saw a black car parked at the gate of their factory. Lan Xinya has no research on the brand of cars, but seeing such a dark and bright car that can reflect people''s shadows, she knows that it must not be cheap! She was a little curious. Who is this car that looks like it is waiting for someone? The next second, she saw the car door open, and Gu Cheng, whom she had not seen for a long time, got out of the car¡ª As Gu Cheng approached her step by step, he finally stopped in front of her. Then Lan Xinya heard Gu Cheng say, "I want to treat you to dinner tonight." Gu Cheng took the initiative to find him, and the other party drove a luxury car. When many workers came out of the factory during off-duty hours, he came to him in front of everyone and said he wanted to treat him to dinner. Facing the surprised and envious eyes of many people in the factory, how could Lan Xinya not agree? ! So she nodded, with a smile on her face that was about to overflow, and followed Gu Cheng into the car with a docile look. Along the way, the two had nothing to say. Originally, Lan Xinya wanted to take the initiative to say something, but seeing Gu Cheng''s indifferent expression, she couldn''t figure out how to start the conversation for a while. Thinking that they will eat together later, Lan Xinya feels that the atmosphere will be better when they eat, and it will not be too late for them to chat more. So, Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya sat at the same table next to the box where Lan Shu''s family had dinner. The table is full of various dishes, most of which are heavy in oil and meat, and not a single leaf of the green vegetables can be seen. Compared to Xu Shan''s understanding of Lan Shu''s taste, although Gu Cheng has been in love with Lan Xinya for a while, he can''t remember what his ex-girlfriend likes to eat or what he doesn''t like. But Lan Xinya didn''t care about it, instead she felt that Gu Cheng treated her to dinner and ordered so many dishes, and that he was willing to spend money for herself, which meant that she valued herself! So Lan Xinya decided to eat a little of every dish in order to save face. Here, as soon as she moved her chopsticks, she heard Gu Cheng''s voice from the opposite side¡ª "Lan Xinya, I was indeed wrong about you and me before. Now that things have passed for so long, I hope we can put aside the previous unhappiness and get along as friends again." "Friend?" Lan Xinya was startled. When she heard Gu Cheng apologize before, and even said that she wanted to put aside the unhappiness between them, Lan Xinya thought that Gu Cheng wanted to reconcile with herself. But now, they are just friends? ! Did I hear correctly? As soon as the idea of ??self-doubt was born, Lan Xinya heard Gu Cheng reiterate his attitude, "Yes, we are friends." When he said this, Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He knew in his heart that Lan Xinya wanted more, such as regaining her girlfriend status. Unfortunately, if he didn''t want to ease the relationship with the Lan family, and needed to use Lan Xinya as a breakthrough to make the Lan family''s parents no longer hostile to him, he would never find Lan Xinya and propose to be friends with her. Lan Xinya was silent for a moment¡ª She thought that she and Gu Cheng could start over, but now, Gu Cheng is only willing to give her the status of a friend... Lan Xinya knew that once she agreed to be only friends with Gu Cheng, it would be difficult to become his girlfriend in the future. Because it is very likely that Gu Cheng will allow himself to watch him pursue others. For example, Lan Shu¡ª Lan Xinya even wondered if Gu Cheng''s current behavior was to get in touch with Lan Shu, and to get closer to Lan Shu through his identity as a member of the Lan family? If that''s the case, I''m afraid he will be disappointed! Because of the relationship between me and Lan Shu, it has long been incompatible! But since Gu Cheng didn''t know these things, she didn''t need to say anything. "Okay, then let''s put aside the past and become friends." Although Lan Xinya was unwilling in her heart, she still nodded and agreed. Gu Cheng wants to use himself, and he also wants to benefit from Gu Cheng. Besides, if he wants to use himself, can he really use it? When Lan Xinya made this decision, she had completely given up on the idea of ??reconciling with Gu Cheng. She wanted to see Gu Cheng put in all his efforts, but got nothing! She has to carefully watch Gu Cheng end up suffering as much as herself! In the private room, two men and women who had their own thoughts continued to eat a sumptuous dinner. In another private room next door, Lan Shu and her parents ate happily. After dinner, Lan Weicheng went out to pay the bill first, while Lan Shu and Xu Shan still had something to say in the private room. "Shushu, have you been in contact with the youngest son of the Gu family recently?" Xu Shan still remembers how Gu Jue expressed his love to her daughter a month ago. She was not worried that because of her daughter, the relationship between the Lan family and the Gu family would not be good, or even conflicts would arise. Instead, he thinks that young man Gu Jue is really good. Even if he can''t have any emotional development with his daughter, he is still a friend worthy of her daughter''s friendship. Lan Shu understands her mother''s concern, and she has long decided to find a chance to chat with Xiao Bai. So facing her mother''s question now, she answered frankly. "Mom, we haven''t been in touch recently, but don''t worry, the friendship between us will not end easily." When she said this, she was already planning to go to Peking University School of Medicine tomorrow to meet Xiaobai. There shouldn¡¯t be any estrangement between her and Xiaobai, even if there is, it¡¯s time to talk about it for more than a month¡ª While the mother and daughter were talking upstairs, downstairs in the Jingdu Hotel, when Lan Weicheng went to the counter to check out, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the back of a man and a woman leaving the hotel gate not far away. Is that... Xinya? Lan Weicheng was taken aback, he felt that the young woman''s back looked too much like his adopted daughter. He was about to catch up and look, but his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the cashier in front of the counter, "It''s fifteen or eighty cents in total." After Lan Weicheng quickly settled the bill, the two had already left the restaurant completely. ¡ª¡ª If that''s Xinya, who is she with tonight? From the back of the man, Lan Weicheng thought of Gu Cheng whom he had seen last night. In addition to that black car, it is exactly the same as Gu Cheng''s car! Is that really Gu Cheng? Or... coincidence? How could Ke Xinya be with Gu Cheng who abandoned her? Lan Weicheng shook his head, he told himself in his heart that he must have read it wrong... (end of this chapter) Chapter 231: Cold medicine Chapter 231 Cold medicine The next day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning, and after eating the breakfast made by Aunt Man, she was ready to leave for Peking University School of Medicine. Before she went out, she could still hear Master Tian, ??who was in charge of landscaping in the yard, say to her, "Ms. Lan, good morning." "Good morning, Master Tian." Lan Shu smiled and nodded. Although she has lived in this newly bought house not long ago, Lan Shu can feel that Master Tian really likes the job of taking care of green plants. With a smile on his face and a sense of happiness at work, Master Tian is undoubtedly the most suitable gardener. The same goes for Aunt Man. The cleaner on weekdays became a nanny after she came back. Aunt Man is a very simple middle-aged woman. Having her work at home will make Lan Shu feel at ease. Today I still travel by bus. Peking University School of Medicine is in the suburbs of Kyoto. I took the bus from Lan Shu''s residence and had to transfer two other bus routes. Lan Shu didn¡¯t grow up in Kyoto, so she doesn¡¯t know the bus routes so well. Fortunately, the driver is very helpful. She only needs to ask, which station to get off from next, and where to transfer on the next bus, all of which are clearly explained by the enthusiastic driver. It was past ten o''clock when I arrived at Peking University School of Medicine. Lan Shu came this time, but she still didn''t come empty-handed. Auntie Man''s craftsmanship is very good, and the steamed buns are delicious, so Lan Shu brought some and put them in an insulated box, so they won''t be cold for a while. With the experience of coming to Peking University School of Medicine last time, she already knew Lu this time. Lan Shu knew Xiao Bai''s class. She went there and saw no one, so she knew Xiao Bai was still in the laboratory. Lan Shu didn''t know about Xiaobai''s new drug research with the professor and tutor. But now Xiaobai is indeed in the laboratory, conducting research on another drug. ¡­ At this time, in the experimental building on the east side of Peking University School of Medicine, in the laboratory on the fifth floor of Building No. 2, Xiaobai and six postgraduate seniors have been researching traditional Chinese medicines for colds for half a month. During the past half month, several people were divided into two groups. One group was to decompose and test the efficacy of the original western medicine for colds, and the other group was to collect data and conduct research on various traditional Chinese medicines that could treat cold-related diseases to a certain extent. For example, people who have a cold will cause headaches, body fever, nasal congestion, sore throat and other symptoms for a long time. How to alleviate and treat these symptoms, a single symptomatic Chinese medicine can still be found, but when various symptoms are complicated, more diverse Chinese medicine combinations are needed. In traditional Chinese medicine, there are single prescriptions and compound prescriptions. The new cold medicine that Xiaobai and the others want to research is equivalent to traditional Chinese medicine compound medicine, which can treat illnesses in multiple ways. Although Xiaobai has not been in contact with medicine for a long time, he cannot be said to have a good understanding of the effects of various drugs, and he has memorized a lot. During the month of winter vacation, he read a lot of books related to drugs, and all the effects of drugs were remembered in his mind. So the two seniors and one senior sister in Xiaobai''s group found that their task was extremely easy to complete. While the other group was decomposing and researching western medicines, they had already begun to refine some traditional Chinese medicines. Sanchaku, Gangmei, calendula silver plate, peppermint oil, wild chrysanthemum... After the research and integration of several people on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicines, these medicines were finally selected as the basis of Chinese patent medicines. The effect of combining several medicines is to clear away heat and detoxify, treat fever and cough, and have a certain analgesic effect. Chinese medicine extraction, concentration, everything went smoothly. The rest is to mix the dosage and wait for the feedback from the Western medicine research team, and finally combine the effects of Chinese and Western medicines for neutralization, and develop the Chinese patent medicine with the best effect on treating colds. One morning, Xiaobai was concentrating on his work in the laboratory. By noon, he had no intention of leaving the laboratory. A senior from the laboratory ran back after leaving, went to him and patted him on the shoulder to remind him, "Your girlfriend is here." girlfriend? Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and then, he suddenly thought of something, immediately finished the work in hand, and walked out of the laboratory quickly¡ª Outside the laboratory door, Lan Shu is wearing a very textured knee-length red dress, paired with an exquisite black short jacket, and her long hair is scattered behind her. This outfit and her superior appearance will definitely make people''s eyes shine ! So when Xiaobai saw Lan Shu, his first impression was amazing! Different from Li Xuan and Lan Xinya''s ladylike, gentle and pure style, Lan Shu''s dress is different from the crowd, unique and fashionable. "Lan Shu." Although Xiaobai didn''t know how to face Lan Shu when he was rejected for his confession last time, but after seeing her, he still couldn''t help but call out her name. Lan Shu had a box of lunch in her hand and had been waiting in the corridor outside for over an hour. When she came here before, through the glass on the window, she did see that Xiaobai was in the experimental value. But seeing Xiaobai''s serious and focused appearance, she didn''t want to disturb her. Even if she knew that even if she called Xiao Bai out halfway, Xiao Bai would not be unhappy. But she thought differently, and felt that when she was doing something seriously, she didn''t want to be interrupted, so she waited a little longer. Now seeing Xiao Bai coming, Lan Shu immediately stepped forward. "Are you done?" She took the initiative to say with a smile, hoping that the gap between herself and Xiaobai would pass quickly. Xiaobai nodded, "It''s a break at noon." That is to say, his work will continue, just a short break. "Very busy recently? How about the new medicine?" Lan Shu remembered that when he came here last month, Xiaobai said that he was researching new medicine with his professor. And it is said that it is almost successful. When the new drug was successful, Xiaobai didn¡¯t have a chance to say it. Now when asked, he immediately explained, ¡°The previous new drug has been successful. It is a drug for emergency treatment of the heart. Now it has reached the production and clinical stage.¡± "Emergency heart medicine? Suxiao Jiuxin Pill?" Lan Shu blurted out¡ª Hearing Lan Shu''s answer, Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback. Then he replied, "Yes, that''s the name, it''s my name." Xiaobai is very proud of being able to obtain the right to name new medicines. He hopes that Lanshu can see his abilities. When Lan Shu heard Xiaobai say that, she was also taken aback! Suxiao Jiuxin Pill was actually researched by the team that Xiaobai participated in? ! Although she knew that Xiaobai was talented in medicine, she didn''t expect how long it took Xiaobai to study medicine? A student who has not yet graduated has been able to participate in such an epochal drug research that will affect countless people in the future! "Then what kind of drugs are you researching now?" Lan Shu suddenly wanted to know more about Xiaobai''s development direction. "It''s a medicine for colds." Xiaobai replied. He didn''t expect Lan Shu to be so concerned about his research direction. This is not something that needs to be kept secret, so he did not hide it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 232: side effect Chapter 232 Side Effects As for cold medicine, although Lan Shu doesn''t know the detailed formula, she has something to say. "Your cold medicine should be researched according to the physique and dosage of adults, right? Is it possible to develop another cold medicine for children on the basis of adult medicine?" "Children are very vulnerable, especially children under the age of two. If they get sick and use adult medicines, it is inevitable that there will be no problems." The dosage and ingredients of the drug should be different for adults and children. In the early stages of many drug research, the dosage for adults was used as the standard, and children¡¯s drugs did not appear until a decade or two later. Before children¡¯s medicines appeared, Lan Shu had read some reports, and knew that some children under two or three years old had convulsions, cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological side effects after taking cold medicines. Because the cold medicine for adults is a compound medicine, which contains a variety of active ingredients. Although the medicine is quick to respond to the symptoms, it will cause a lot of burden on the liver and kidneys if it is used by too young children, and even cause the death of young children! Therefore, whether it is for the children who are sick and taking medicine in the future, or the future reputation of researchers like Xiaobai, she hopes that Xiaobai and his research team can pay attention to this situation. Xiaobai rarely sees Lan Shu showing such a cautious expression. Although he didn''t know why Lan Shu suddenly paid so much attention to drug research, it was undeniable that what Lan Shu said was indeed reasonable. So he nodded, "I see, I will bring up the matter of children''s cold medicine with the seniors and sisters." After finishing speaking, he added, "It''s not just the cold medicine this time, I will take children''s medication into consideration in the various drug research I participate in in the future." With Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt at ease. After talking about Xiaobai''s work, Lan Shu remembered to give Xiaobai the buns she brought from her home. Put the lunch box into Xiaobai''s hand, Lan Shu said, "The little buns I brought for you are stuffed with meat, one bite at a time." After she finished speaking, her tone was a little regretful. "Although I wrapped the lunch box with a towel to keep it warm, it''s probably getting cold right now. You can take it to the cafeteria to see if you can ask the kitchen to warm it up for you before eating." Seeing Lan Shu treating him as usual, Xiao Bai''s feeling of being rejected before was quickly diluted by this kind of pure concern¡ª He nodded and replied, "Okay." This time when the two met, they agreed tacitly and didn''t mention anything other than friendship. The relationship seemed to be back to the past, as harmonious as ever. Xiaobai still has tasks in the laboratory in the afternoon, so Lan Shu didn''t stay longer. After meeting someone and delivering the things, she will wave goodbye to Xiaobai. But Xiaobai still has something to say. "Lan Shu, in half a month or so, I will be on summer vacation, and then I want to go to Qingyang County...to visit grandma." During Xiaobai''s speech, his gaze never left Lanshu''s eyes. In previous years, when he was on vacation, he would indeed take time to visit his grandma, and he would live in Qingyang County for a few days by the way. But this time he is going to Qingyang County, not only because of his grandma, but also to find clues about how he was murdered, and to get closer to Lan Shu. Xiao Baiyuan thought that after he confessed his love, getting closer to Lan Shu might make Lan Shu feel alienated from him. But he found that after Lan Shu heard the news, she didn''t hesitate at all¡ª "Okay~ You can also go to the toilet paper factory to see when the time comes. The development in the factory is very different from before!" Hearing such an answer, Xiao Bai was finally relieved, but at the same time he also sighed a little. The relationship between him and Lan Shu has returned to the past, but such a pure friendship is also a manifestation of Lan Shu''s rejection of herself... ¡­ This time Lan Shu stayed in Kyoto for a total of half a month. In mid-June, she planned to leave Kyoto and return to Qingyang County. Before going back, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan took a special day off and came to the mansion that Lan Shu bought on Chang''an Avenue. The two of them did not come empty-handed. Lan Weicheng carried a lot of ingredients in his hands, including fish, meat, eggs, and vegetables. And Xu Shan was holding a large flat square box in her hand. After opening it, Lan Shu discovered that there was an old-fashioned cream cake inside! Lan Shu has been in this world for almost a year, and this is the first time she has seen a cake. Looking at the words "Happy Birthday" written in translucent red butterscotch on it, Lan Shu was taken aback and reflected. "Today is my birthday?" "Yes, Shushu, I remember very clearly, twenty years ago today, I gave birth to you in the hospital in Qingyang County." Xu Shan said, the expression on her face was obviously caught in the memories of the past. "Twenty years..." Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, she is now twenty years old... In addition to today, Lan Shu has experienced the age of twenty twice, but this is her first birthday. She remembered her former self, because she was an orphan, she didn''t know when her birthday was. So she regarded the annual Children''s Day as her own birthday since she was a child. When I was a child in an orphanage, I could get sweet candies on Children''s Day. That day was the happiest day for her. After she grew up, she was busy with life and study every day, and she had no free time to think about her birthday. Today, in this era that should have been unfamiliar to her, she has the experience of celebrating her birthday. Lunch was cooked by Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng. Before the dinner table, Lan Shu made a wish on the cake. Compared to the various deficiencies in her previous life, now she wants to stay in this world forever... ¡­ After her birthday, on the second day, Lan Shu got on the train and left Kyoto. Back to Qingyang County, Lan Shu still went to the two factories first to see the situation. The toilet paper factory''s small package paper assembly line has been put into production. When the portable small package paper was delivered to various places in the factory the day before yesterday, some were also taken out, and the trial sale was carried out first. As for the advertisement of the packet paper, Deputy Factory Director Zhu has already communicated with the Linjiang City newspaper, and plans to see the situation in the last issue of the advertisement this weekend. When Lan Shu was not in the factory before, Deputy Director Zhu made all the arrangements in the factory properly. On the other side, Yunshu Garment Factory. The development of the garment factory is progressing steadily. After arriving at the factory, Lan Shu went to see Secretary Tang first, and asked about the recent work situation of the new finance in the factory. The new accountant Pan Gong and Pan Finance have many years of work experience, so after taking over the financial work of the garment factory, it only took a few days to get familiar with it, and they started directly. During the half month since Lan Shu left, Finance Pan had calculated every account in the factory clearly. Different from the previous monthly settlement of accounts, the weekly purchases, shipments, and profits are now clearly displayed by Pan Finance''s table. This is the performance of excellent professional ability! (end of this chapter) Chapter 233: Outsiders cant understand Chapter 233 Outsiders can''t understand The reason why Finance Pan works so hard is because he is new here, and he needs an opportunity for the factory leaders to recognize his professional ability. The second time he came to the factory, he was paid 80 yuan a month as a salary, and for so much money, he also felt that he should do more work to be worthy of the price! After hearing what Secretary Tang said about the situation, Lan Shu was very satisfied with Pan Finance''s work efficiency. Finance matters made Lan Shu finally relieved. She was still considering candidates for the new deputy director of the factory. In addition to this, Lan Shu is more concerned about one more thing. She looked at Tang Chu, "Secretary Tang, between you and my elder brother... when are you going to get engaged?" Lan Shu heard from her eldest brother that he and Tang Chu originally planned to get engaged during Labor Day in early May, but the factory happened to be very busy at that time, so Tang Chu decided to delay the engagement time. Now that the situation in the factory has stabilized, the next engagement can be put on the agenda. The reason why Lan Shu asked specifically was because it was not only Secretary Tang''s engagement, but also her elder brother''s happy event. Hearing Director Lan''s question, Tang Chu blushed suddenly, feeling a little embarrassed. "Director Lan, I''m about to tell you about this. Brother An De and I have agreed to get engaged on the 26th of this month, and now we are less than ten days away from that date." Ender? ...Oh, it''s her big brother. Lan Shu still hasn''t gotten used to her elder brother Lan Dazhuang having the name Lan Ande. "June 26th? Good day!" Lan Shu said. Although it is not as commemorative as Labor Day, this day sounds very smooth. "At that time, I will let my brothers come back in advance, and let them go to your house with my elder brother to give a gift." Lan Shu said after thinking. "Director Lan, won''t you come?" Secretary Tang was still looking forward to this. Lan Shu shook her head, "I won''t go, the happy event between you and my elder brother, I''ve been divorced, so it''s not good to go." Divorced women are not welcome everywhere, not only in this era, but even in later generations, many people will avoid the participation of divorced people in the whole process of walking the ceremony and receiving marriage. Having worked with Director Lan for so long, Tang Chu knew that Director Lan had been married and divorced before. But she didn''t care about it at all. "Director Lan, I hope you can come when Brother Ande and I get engaged." Tang Chu expressed his thoughts sincerely. Lan Shu could understand Tang Chu''s kindness, but she finally shook her head and refused. "People''s words are terrible. You don''t care, but you can''t stop others from talking. In fact, it doesn''t matter whether I go or not, as long as you and my elder brother are happy." Lan Shu said. "Although I won''t go to your house to salute, I will wait for you at home." She added. Tang Chu saw that Director Lan had made up his mind, so he stopped forcing and just said, "Then we will meet at Lan''s house then!" Lan Shu nodded. The process of getting married is that the man brings gifts and betrothal gifts to the woman''s house, and then takes the woman back to the man''s house. At noon, the two families get together for a meal. Now that the eldest brother and Secretary Tang are engaged, it''s time for Lan Shu to get ready these days. She called the village that day and asked her elder brother to come to the county the next day to collect the money. At the same time, Lan Shu also sent a message to the affiliated hospital unit where the second brother is studying now, asking him to come back if he can finish his studies. The third brother didn''t need Lan Shu to notify him, the second brother would naturally say something after receiving the news. Speaking of the third brother Lan Sibo, Lan Shu has been here for almost a year and has yet to meet the third brother. It was only in the memory of the original owner that there was the appearance of the third brother, and several phone calls with the third brother. But even though she hadn''t seen her before, Lan Shu could still feel the third brother''s concern for her little sister on the phone. I wonder if the third brother can come back when the eldest brother gets engaged this time? ¡­ At this time, Lan Sibo, whom Lan Shu misses so much, is accepting an internal award from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences! In the past year, Lan Sibo has once again made new breakthroughs in the research and breeding of hybrid pigs! The earliest pigs in China were black pigs, and white pigs were imported from abroad. Black pigs have wild boar blood, and the pork is more compact. While the pork of white pigs is fat and thick, although they grow fast, they will have more symptoms than black pigs. So in order to develop high-quality pigs with good meat taste, fast growth and low disease rate to supply the public, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has been researching hybrid pigs since five years ago. Lan Sibo joined the research team more than two years ago. As a child who grew up in the countryside, he knows much more about pigs than students in the city! In addition, he has good academic performance and excellent professional ability, so in the past two years, he has won three bonuses for researching hybrid pigs, and this time the bonus is even more, which is 500 yuan! After getting the money, Lan Sibo had already made up his mind that he would send all the money back and put it in the chicken farm and orchard run by his elder brother and younger sister. He is very optimistic about the orchard and chicken farm projects in Houshan. Of course, the most important thing is his trust in his elder brother and younger sister! ¡­ More than a week later, June 26th. Lan Shu returned to the village from Qingyang County the day before, waiting for her eldest brother''s engagement tomorrow. Lan Dazhuang''s engagement this time, the second child, Lan Xiuming, is working and studying in Kyoto and won''t be back for the time being. Fortunately, the youngest, Lan Sibo, finally finished his work and had a vacation, so he came back two days before Lan Dazhuang''s engagement. Lan Shu only met Lan Sibo when she got home yesterday. Lan Sibo is two years older than Lan Shu, twenty-two this year. Compared to Lan Dazhuang''s muscular body and Lan Xiuming''s tall and straight figure, Lan Sibo has a slimmer physique, with a pair of eyes, thinner, and a wheat-colored complexion. His eyes are small, the bridge of his nose is high, and he looks very delicate. The three brothers of the Lan family didn''t even mention the size. Lan Dazhuang visually estimated that he was 1.8 meters tall, and Lan Xiuming was at least 178 meters tall. The youngest, Lan Sibo, stood with his eldest brother, and they didn''t look much different, maybe a little taller than Lan Xiuming. Lan Sibo hasn''t seen the little girl for almost two years. Before he came back this time, although he heard from his elder brother and second brother that the little girl had lost weight, she became much slimmer from the little chubby girl before. But after seeing it with his own eyes, Lan Sibo still opened his eyes wide with an incredulous expression. Afterwards, the eyes are full of distress. "Little sister... How much pain did you suffer to get to this size?" Lan Sibo¡¯s usual job is to study and raise pigs. He hopes that his pigs will grow up quickly and become fat and fat. He felt that he was so talented in raising pigs, it must be due to the experience he had gained from raising a younger sister in the past. Now I see my fat little girl has lost so much weight! That kind of mood, outsiders can''t understand! Lan Sibo was even thinking, should he stay at home for a while and raise his little sister again? (end of this chapter) Chapter 234: must be rich Chapter 234 Definitely rich Although Lan Sibo has the idea of ??raising a fat little girl, Lan Shu has no idea of ??gaining weight. Plus Lan Shu''s current work needs, and she basically runs between the county town and the capital, so Lan Sibo has no chance to nourish her at all. When the two brothers and sisters met, there was not much feeling of unfamiliarity, and they got along very quickly. However, Lan Shu felt that the main reason was that Lan Sibo was easy to get along with, careless, and quite honest with her. So for this third brother, she likes her elder brother and second brother as much¡ª ¡­ When it came time to get engaged, brothers Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo loaded the sewing machines and bicycles that Lan Dazhuang bought in the county town on the tractor early in the morning. Besides, there is a watch in Lan Dazhuang''s pocket. In the early Tang Dynasty, the elders asked for the "three major items", and the Lan family had quite a few of them. There is also a bride price of 500 yuan, which was also packed in a gift box bought by Lan Dazhuang from the county, and he took it with him, planning to send the money today. This time, the bride price and the purchase of the ''three major items'' totaled almost 1,000 yuan, and it was all taken by Lan Shu. Lan Shu said that when her elder brother got married, she had to accompany her as a gift, and a thousand dollars was definitely not much to her. The tractor was carrying something, Lan Sibo was on it, and was driven away by Lan Dazhuang with a ''chug chug...''. Here, the two brothers set off for the engagement ceremony. At home, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang started cleaning the yard, and went into the kitchen to prepare some pre-dinner food. It¡¯s better to wait for Lan Dazhuang to pick up the object, let the girl eat two bites, and the family will go to the restaurant in the county town to have dinner with the Tang family. At home, Lan Shu is just like what she told Tang Chu before, she won''t go to the engagement ceremony. I had a comfortable breakfast at home in the morning, and then I watched my parents keep busy with joy. Probably the reason why the eldest son finally decided to settle down, which made the two elders too excited. So at the moment the couple are a little bit at a loss, it seems that only by getting busy can they calm down. Lan Shu didn''t stop her either. The old couple like to be busy, so let''s just be busy for a while. ¡­ On the other side, today is a good day, Lan Dazhuang is refreshed and beaming, driving a tractor to the county seat. More than an hour later, the tractor arrived at the county seat. Lan Dazhuang, who was familiar with the route, came to Tang''s house with his third brother. The news that the daughter of the Tang family is going to get engaged has been widely spread among the neighbors, so early this morning, many neighbors came to the Tang family, waiting to see what the future son-in-law of the Tang family will look like and how many gifts he will bring. Although Tang Chu was tired of the greed of the grandmother, the obedience of the mother, and the inaction of the father. But thinking that he could use this thousand yuan to break away from the family and marry Brother An De in the future, Tang Chu didn''t care about anything with the family anymore. She got up early, put on light makeup, and waited happily for Brother Ander to come to the house to make an engagement. At eight o''clock, the sound of tractors ranged from far to near. When Tang Chu heard the movement, he immediately came out of the room and was about to meet people at the door. But as soon as she came out, her mother who was standing in the yard outside her room grabbed her arm. "Your grandma told you not to worry, just wait for a while." When Mama Tang said these words, Tang Chu suddenly felt uneasy, but thinking that today is the engagement process, what could happen? So she stopped and stood with her mother for a while. Not far away, at the gate, Lan Dazhuang pushed a bicycle into the gate with a smile on his face. Behind, Lan Sibo found a neighbor who was watching the fun at the door of Tang''s house to help him, and followed him in with a sewing machine. Waiting for Lan Dazhuang to pull over and park his bicycle, he took out a watch from his pocket, looked in Tang Chu''s direction, and smiled innocently, "Xiao Chu, I''m here." "Brother An De." Tang Chu was about to walk towards his partner, but was held by the arm again by the mother beside him. "Wait a minute." Mother Tang whispered, but she refused to let her daughter come forward. Afterwards, Lan Dazhuang saw the grandparents of Tang Chu''s family come out of the main room¡ª Grandfather Tang Chu stood at the threshold and looked at the bicycles and sewing machines parked in his yard. Glancing at the watch on his granddaughter''s partner again, he nodded slightly. And Grandma Tang Chu walked towards Lan Dazhuang after seeing that the ''three major pieces'' were all in order. She walked and said, "Did you bring the bride price?" "Brought it." Speaking, Lan Dazhuang immediately took out the gift box containing money from the cloth bag hanging on the front of the bicycle, and handed it to Grandma Tang with respectful hands. Knowing the money inside, Grandma Tang was overjoyed, and immediately took it, and opened the box in front of neighbors who were watching the fun in the yard¡ª In the box, there was a stack of Da Tuan neatly arranged, a total of five hundred dollars! Seeing the money, Grandma Tang''s eyes suddenly showed greed. She took out the money and counted it carefully in front of Lan Dazhuang. Her move made Tang Chu on the side froze, showing embarrassment. Grandma''s behavior is clearly to prevent her partner from giving less money in the bride price. Only Lan Dazhuang, an honest man, didn''t think so much. When he saw the Tang family counting money face to face, he didn''t react much. Seeing this, Tang Chu stopped listening to her mother, shook off her mother''s arm, and was about to walk towards Lan Dazhuang. Now that the ''three major items'' are available, and the gift money of 500 yuan has passed, she can always leave, right? Tang Chu didn''t want to stay in his home for a moment! Here, before Tang Chu reached Lan Dazhuang''s side, he heard grandma''s voice¡ª "Five hundred yuan is correct, but didn''t I say at the beginning that the bride price is one thousand?" The old lady of the Tang family raised her head and looked at Lan Dazhuang with her wrinkled inverted triangular eyes. She thinks that since the Lan family can come up with 500 dowry money, then 1,000 should be fine, right? She heard that there is a daughter in the Lan family who runs a factory and works as the factory director, so she must be rich! Hearing what Tang''s grandma said, Lan Dazhuang''s originally happy expression was immediately taken aback! one thousand? Didn¡¯t they agree on five hundred before? Lan Dazhuang felt that he must remember correctly? And Tang Chu on the side couldn''t listen anymore! She walked to her partner in a few steps, turned her head and looked coldly at her own grandma. "Grandma, don''t go too far! Ask the neighbors how many families get married daughters who can receive 500 dowry money and three big gifts?" When Tang Chu said this, some of the neighbors around who were watching the excitement nodded and greeted, "Let''s not say five hundred, even if there are not many families with three hundred, let alone three complete items?" "That''s right, Mrs. Tang, five hundred dowry is really a lot..." Hearing the words of the old neighbors, and her own granddaughter questioning her decision in person, Grandma Tang''s face suddenly collapsed! She said to Tang Chu, "Damn girl! What can I say to you? You haven''t married yet, so you''re turning your elbows out!?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 235: I want money to marry a wife Chapter 235 I also want money to marry a wife While Grandma Tang was speaking, she still didn''t forget to stuff the five hundred yuan she got into her pocket first. As for the beautiful box that Lan Dazhuang specially bought to hold the money, she threw it on the ground a long time ago! Seeing this at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, even if grandma is an elder, she still has to say something quickly! "Grandma, brother Ander is my partner, why did you tell me to bend my elbows? Besides, don''t you think the bride price of five hundred yuan is not enough?" "It''s a thousand dollars to open your mouth, and you don''t even think about what kind of family we are, why should they give a thousand dollars as a bride price?" "Other people have married their daughters for a hundred yuan, and you want one thousand. Is this extortion?" Since Tang Chu talked about her partner, the family knew that she would marry sooner or later. From then on, Tang Chu obviously felt that his grandparents'' attitude towards her was far worse than before. Even if she used to be a girl at home, she was not very popular. But at the time, at least the family members had no intention of using themselves to make money. But now, her grandma''s eating looks are too ugly! After finishing speaking, Tang Chu stepped forward, and taking advantage of her grandma''s unpreparedness, he suddenly took out five hundred yuan from her grandma''s pocket. After receiving the money, she took a few steps back, and retreated to Lan Dazhuang''s side. "Grandma, this is the gift money for my engagement, how dare you take it, even if you give it, it should be given to my parents." Around, some old neighbors who came to see the excitement saw this scene and heard Tang Chu''s words, and they all felt reasonable. "That''s right, the daughter is getting married, how can there be a grandma taking the bride price from her granddaughter?" "It''s indeed over. If my old woman wants to rob my daughter of my daughter''s gift money, I will fight her!" Across the way, the grandmother of the Tang family couldn''t listen to other people''s gossip. When she saw that the money in her pocket was gone, she yelled "Ouch~!" on the spot, and stepped forward to **** the money back! But when Tang Chu hid behind his partner, Lan Dazhuang''s tall and burly physique was really too bluffing. Grandma Tang''s family didn''t dare to go forward easily, for fear that her old arms and legs would bump into her somewhere. After avoiding from Tang Chu''s side, he bypassed Lan Dazhuang, walked to her mother in a few steps, and handed the five hundred yuan gift to his mother. "Mom, you take this money. This is the gift money for my engagement and marriage. It can only be given to you and Dad, but there is no reason to give it to grandparents!" Tang Chu knew that if her grandma really held the money, she would never come to her house in the future. As for giving it to her mother, she actually didn''t expect her mother to keep the money. In the end, the money will most likely end up in her grandma''s pocket for various reasons. But Tang Chu hoped that her mother could gain some courage and not always be controlled by others. Just like her mother supported her to go to college, be brave and there will be good results. Grandma Tang saw that the money fell into the hands of her daughter-in-law, and now she was not in a hurry. After that little girl in Tang Chu left, her daughter-in-law, who couldn''t be the master at home, would she let her decide? As for the fact that she wanted to temporarily increase the gift money, although the girl film did not agree, she never thought of giving up! Grandma Tang looked at Lan Dazhuang, and said coldly, "My girl is ignorant in movies, so you can''t be ignorant too, right? Your family is not short of money, and taking a gift of 1,000 yuan is also giving you a future The daughter-in-law has a long face." What he said, there is a feeling that if you don''t give money, you don''t give Tang Chu face. Lan Dazhuang heard this. He didn''t expect the dowry to be five hundred more, but now because of his object, he already hesitated in his heart. Aside, Lan Sibo couldn''t help frowning when he saw the appearance of his eldest brother''s family members. Although he can see that his elder brother''s partner has a good character, but if his family marries with such a family in the future, troubles will inevitably occur! So Lan Sibo doesn''t quite agree with the elder brother''s marriage from the bottom of his heart. But seeing his elder brother being so devoted to his girl, Lan Sibo hesitated a bit. Now hearing what the Tang family said, and seeing how shaken his elder brother''s heart was, Lan Sibo couldn''t help it! So he took a few steps forward, stood next to his elder brother, and said to the parents of his future sister-in-law seriously, "Whether our family lacks money or not, we are not being taken advantage of. My elder brother wants to marry a good wife. The five hundred gift money plus Three big pieces are decent enough." It''s hard for Lan Dazhuang to say such things, but Lan Sibo is qualified to say them. But the old lady Tang beside her couldn''t listen to what others said about cutting her money. She followed the voice and looked at Lan Sibo complainingly, "Who are you? Is there any place for you to intervene in our family''s affairs?" "I am the third child of the Lan family. My elder brother is married. Of course I am qualified to speak. I will also marry a wife in the future. Now that my elder brother gets married, you all have to pay a thousand from our family. Will you leave money for me to marry a wife in the future?" What Lan Sibo said was not really to let the family save money and leave it for himself to marry a wife. His wife, not to mention his disappearance, is too busy with work and has no time to fall in love. Now that he said that, he was looking for a reason to tell the old lady of the Tang family not to speak too loudly! Hearing his words, although Lan Dazhuang had a simple and honest temper, he was not stupid, and immediately understood what his third brother was thinking. Aside, the old neighbors of the Tang family in the yard heard that the young man next to Tang Chu''s object was her object''s brother, and that the young man was indeed going to marry a wife in the future. Besides, the young man is the third child, which means that he has an elder brother above him. In a rural family, no matter how rich they are, the three brothers can¡¯t afford a thousand dollars each to marry a daughter-in-law, right? If the old lady of the Tang family insists on asking for a gift of 1,000 yuan, it will be the chance to cut off the other brothers of the Lan family from marrying wives in the future! That would be too unkind! Things have come to this point, the old lady can no longer talk about her own family affairs, things that have nothing to do with the third child of the Lan family. Seeing that she was silent, Tang Chu had something to say. "Grandma, I''m engaged today, and the three big things from the man''s house are all I will take away after I get married. As for the five hundred dowry money, don''t make any wrong decisions. It was my parents who raised me up. They deserve it, none of your business." Tang Chu''s words directly dispelled Grandma Tang''s idea of ??taking the three major items as her own. Although Mrs. Tang disagreed with Tang Chu getting married and taking away the three big things, she really had no reason to refuse. Because the three major items given by a man to his daughter-in-law are bought for his wife, if the woman¡¯s family forces them to keep them, it will look bad on her face! "Okay, you can take the three major items with you, but the gift money of 500 yuan, as you said, is for filial piety to the family, and it has nothing to do with you in the future!" Mrs. Tang said, afraid that Tang After the first day of marriage, the bride price will be taken away. But even if Tang Chu wants to bring it, her old woman will not agree! (end of this chapter) Chapter 236: filial piety Chapter 236 Filial piety Although Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang''s engagement today had some problems in the Tang family, the engagement process went on smoothly in the end. When leaving Tianshui Village, besides the bicycle and sewing machine, Lan Sibo was alone on Lan Dazhuang''s tractor. When they went back, Tang Chu and her parents were there. Tang Chu''s father works in a factory in the county seat, and he goes to the factory to take half a day off in the morning, so when Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo delivered the "three big pieces", he was not at home. After the Lan family and Tang Chu''s grandmother reached an agreement on the bride price, Tang Chu''s father returned from the factory. ¡­ The tractor drove into the village with a ''chug...''. The Lan family, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang have been waiting for a long time. It was Tang Chu''s first visit to Lan''s house, and she was even mentally prepared before, thinking that her partner''s house might not be very good because it was in the countryside. But after she came, she found out that the Lan family lived in a big tiled house with blue bricks that ranked among the best in the village! This condition is no worse than her house in the county seat! Tang Chu''s parents felt a little relieved when they saw the family situation of their future in-laws. After Tang and Lan''s parents sat down and chatted for a while in the living room of the main room, both Tang Chu''s parents had smiles on their faces. They really didn''t expect that the parents of their future son-in-law were all educated people! Especially the son-in-law¡¯s father, whose ancestral home is in Kyoto¡ª This time, it directly changed their impression that the son-in-law''s family was completely from the village. After the communication between the elders of both parties was over, Tang Chu, under the care of Lan Dazhuang, ate something to pad his stomach at home. After that, the two families set off for the county together. In one morning, the tractor ran back and forth three times. Lan Shu had already called and booked a large private room for a dozen people in the most famous hotel in the county. Wait for Lan Dazhuang to send them to the place first, then Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu went to Tang''s house together, picked up Tang Chu''s grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle and younger brother, and came to the hotel together. In the restaurant, Lan Shu is a regular customer here. She told the kitchen in advance to prepare the dishes, and when the Tang family arrived, they would start serving the dishes immediately. Soon, the big table was filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes that can only be found in big restaurants in the county town. Tang Chu''s parents were very satisfied when they saw that the Lan family had prepared such a level. Only Grandma Tang Chu glanced at the dining table, and then asked Lan Dazhuang beside her granddaughter, "How much does this meal cost?" How would Lan Dazhuang know this answer? He subconsciously turned his head to look at his sister¡ª Lan Shu received her eldest brother''s questioning gaze, she didn''t answer immediately, but turned to look at Grandma Tang Chu, "It''s not much money, as long as everyone eats and drinks well at noon today." Hearing her words, Grandpa Tang Chu had already started to move his chopsticks, reaching out to pinch the big elbow on the table. Grandma Tang Chu didn''t intend to start eating. She could tell that Lan Shu, who was the youngest at the dinner table and still a girl, seemed to have a say in the Lan family? So she asked again, "Are you the sister of my grandson-in-law who is the director of the factory? If my granddaughter marries your elder brother in the future, you will have to pay our family Tang Chu more in the factory~!" What she said really made Lan Shu feel disgusted. She had seen before that the old lady had a lukewarm attitude towards her elder brother. ''Have you got a title? Lan Shu just glanced at Grandma Tang Chu, but before she could speak, Tang Chu stood up from the seat in front of the table¡ª "Grandma! What are you talking about? My current salary is not low, and I will make money on my own! Director Lan is good enough to me." Aside, Grandma Tang Chu felt really unpleasant when she heard her granddaughter''s words! She looked at Tang Chu with complaints in her eyes, "The salary is not low, and I don''t see you giving me some every month. Be filial and filial to me." Hearing Grandma Tang Chu''s words, Lan Shu couldn''t help but look a few more times at Grandma Tang Chu''s face. Before she saw that Tang Chu was so good, she thought that the elders in Tang Chu''s family were more enlightened, so they let the girl go to college. But now that the elders in Tang Chu''s family are in a situation, she can''t even imagine how thick-skinned it is to say such a thing? Daughters go to work to make money, and they should honor their parents. A grandma still wants to ask her granddaughter for money every month? When a granddaughter is willing to spend money for grandma, it is because of love, if not, no one can gossip, after all, the old lady''s son is not dead~! If the other party is not Tang Chu''s own grandma, Lan Shu can''t help but want to go straight to her right now! But the situation is different today, and the occasion is also different. Big brother and Tang Chu''s engagement banquet, she had to take Tang Chu''s face into consideration. So Lan Shu patiently answered Grandma Tang Chu, "Don''t worry, Tang Chu is in our factory, I will definitely not treat her badly, after all, we will be a family from now on." "As for honoring you, my elder brother is not a person who is not ignorant of etiquette. At the end of each year, he will definitely come to the door with gifts to visit his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and you and Tang Chu''s grandfather." Lan Shu said this politely and decently, even if she didn''t say it, Lan Dazhuang would definitely go to visit Tang Chu''s parents during the Chinese New Year. So, she agreed to Grandma Tang Chu''s filial piety at this moment, which should have been the case, but it sounded nice, but in fact, it didn''t allow Grandma Tang Chu to take advantage of it. Sure enough, when Grandma Tang Chu heard this, she immediately became unhappy! "Just showing filial piety during the Chinese New Year?" Grandma Tang asked dissatisfied. "if not?" Now it was Lan Shu''s turn to show a puzzled expression. "Do you still want to receive a gift on August 15th?" Lan Shu said suddenly, then changed her voice. "Actually, it''s okay. After all, August 15th is a big festival. Since you have spoken, I must tell my elder brother that I will go to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law every August 15th, and I will visit you by the way." After saying this, he clearly stated that the old lady insisted on asking for a gift, and told the other party that their blue family is generous and can afford this extra gift. At the same time, it also cancels the old lady''s other festival rituals. And the meaning implied by the last sentence ''by the way'' can be understood by all the smart people at the dinner table. Lan Shu almost said, ''You grandma wants too much! '' Grandma Tang Chu originally wanted to take advantage of a lot. She felt that if her granddaughter joined such a family where the daughter was the factory manager, if she could, she would definitely want to gain some benefits from Lan Shu, the factory manager. But now she can see that the female factory director of the Lan family may be rich, but she is really not generous! She doesn''t want her family to take advantage of her at all! (end of this chapter) Chapter 237: stay Chapter 237 Live Now Mrs. Tang can only hope that the Lan family has a strong family, so that her grandson-in-law can bring back more gifts during the festivals. So before the whole table had eaten two bites, Grandma Tang Chu couldn''t help but inquire about the financial situation of the Lan family. "The factory opened by Director Lan must make a lot of money a year, so how much do you pay to your family every month?" At the engagement banquet of my granddaughter, it was really unreasonable to inquire about the financial situation of other people''s families. Even Tang Chu''s parents showed embarrassing expressions. Tang Chu''s father even tugged at his **** arm under the table to tell her not to ask any more questions. Tang Chu''s father was the second child in the family, with an elder brother and a younger brother, and he was caught in the middle and was not favored since he was a child. Parents are also eccentric. They regard the eldest as the pillar of the family, and the younger son grows up spoiled. The second child has no status in the family. That''s why Grandma Tang Chu wouldn''t listen to her second son! She still looked at Lan Shu, waiting for the factory director''s daughter of the Lan family to answer her question. Lan Shu understood the reason why Grandma Tang Chu asked such a question, and she originally planned to give an answer to make the old lady give up. But there was no need for her to speak, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang couldn''t listen anymore! The two of them have read books and know how to be polite. How could they not understand the thoughts of the Tang family''s grandma? The old lady wanted to use her son''s in-law relationship with other people''s family to calculate the money in her daughter''s pocket! Chang Chunfang will not let the other party want her family''s money unscrupulously, even if it is a future in-law, she has to make some things clear in advance. "My daughter earns money because my daughter has the ability. We can live well by ourselves, and we absolutely have no idea of ??asking my daughter for money." "Not only my daughter, but my three sons are also the same. We are in good health now and can work and earn money by ourselves. When we get old and can''t work anymore, our children will naturally worry about us." I know the children I have raised, and Chang Changchunfang believes that the couple will not worry about providing for the elderly in the future. Grandma Tangchu heard what her second son''s future in-laws said, and she totally disagreed with Chang Chunfang''s statement! The old lady has always felt that the money is safe only in her own hands! She was about to argue with Chang Chunfang, when Tang Chu''s grandfather coughed deliberately, stopping what Tang Chu''s grandma was going to say later. "Okay, even eating can''t stop your mouth!" Grandpa Tang Chu was a little unhappy. His old lady likes to be noisy when she is at home. Today he just wants to have a good meal, and he doesn''t want to listen to the old woman''s endless chatter. As for how much benefit the Tang family can get from the Lan family in the future? It is too early to say anything. His granddaughter hasn''t married to the Lan family yet. If the old woman asks too much now and the Lan family doesn''t want to marry, wouldn''t they have to return the three big gifts and the five hundred yuan dowry? ! Actually, Grandpa Tang Chu felt that for a girl like her granddaughter, it was quite a lot for the family to get a bride price of 500 yuan. The most important thing is that their family will be related to the director of the county garment factory in the future. With this relationship, it will definitely be no problem to arrange work for the grandchildren in the family! The old lady is really short-sighted. Now she talks too much, asks too much, and people may not give it to her. If the grandchildren¡¯s jobs are settled, it will be more profitable than they received a few gifts during the holidays~! Usually in the Tang family, although Grandma Tang Chu manages the money at home, she is a woman after all, and her husband is the sky in her mind. So even if she was reluctant, she would definitely listen to what Grandpa Tang Chu said! So she restrained herself from inquiring about how much money other people''s families had, with a sullen face and her head bowed in obvious displeasure, and finally started to eat. Few of the two families were happy with the meal. At the Tang family, although Tang Chu''s uncle and uncle didn''t speak, both of them were shrewd and knew that the female director of the Lan family who was present was not easy to fool. They keep silent and are not in a hurry to ask for benefits, and they can also leave a good impression on the other party. In the future, if there is something to come to the door again, it will definitely be easier to talk to than a deadlocked relationship! Tang Chu¡¯s younger brother was a little younger after all. When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, seeing such a large table of delicious food, he only cared about eating and didn¡¯t have the heart to listen to what the elders had to say. After dinner, Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu''s engagement is considered to be completed. The next thing is when the two of them will get married. The two families discussed, and now it is the end of June, and there are good days in August and October, so they asked Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang when they want to get married? Regarding marriage, Tang Chu naturally felt that the sooner the better! She is not in a hurry to get married, but she is really fed up with the situation at home. So the time for the two of them to get married was set on the eighth day of August. After dinner, after seeing off the Tang family, in the afternoon, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were going back to the village, but they were stopped by Lan Shu. "Dad, Mom, you haven''t been to the county for a long time, right? Don''t go back tonight, just stay here!" "The house I bought in the county seat, you haven''t been there yet~" Lan Shu said. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang couldn''t refuse their daughter''s warm invitation. As for their work in the village brigade and school... Lan Shu called the village head''s family and asked the village head''s family to help her parents take a leave of absence. It was still early in the afternoon, and Lan Dazhuang and his fianc¨¦e were busy dating, so Lan Shu left with her parents. As for her third brother Lan Sibo, he said that he came to the county to see his former classmates, so he didn''t go with them. Watching the third brother leave, Lan Shu didn''t take her parents to the house immediately, but took the two of them to the county shopping mall first. There is a directly-operated store of its own clothing factory in the mall, which is just for parents to take a look and choose some clothes they like. On the second floor of the shopping mall, in the directly-operated store of Yunshu Clothing Brand, the female boss Wang Li saw that Director Lan brought someone here, and immediately stepped forward to greet her enthusiastically! Knowing that the two are the parents of Director Lan, Wang Li immediately helped them choose clothes styles to match without saying a word. Wang Li is very good at selling, and within a short while, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli had a lot of bags in their hands! Originally, the two of them were reluctant to let their daughter spend money, but Lan Shu said, "The clothes in the store are all clothes from our factory, and they don''t cost money." They gave up their thoughts. After shopping for clothes, Lan Shu took her parents home. The house she bought in the county has a lot of rooms, and the furniture and bedding are ready-made. Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli can live in it directly. Arrived at home, Lan Shu took her parents to see the house she bought first, and then she planned to let her parents rest in the room for a while. But Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli are excited because of their son''s engagement today, and they don''t need to rest at all. So the two proposed to visit the factory where their daughter works. Lan Shu naturally agreed to this request from her parents! So she took her parents to a garment factory and a toilet paper factory. In the evening, the three of them ate directly in the cafeteria of the toilet paper factory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 238: grandparents Chapter 238 Grandparents and Grandchildren Time to enter July, the weather is getting hotter day by day. Such a temperature without an air conditioner is really hard~! But there is no air conditioner for sale in China now, even if there is, with the consumption awareness of most people today, they would not be too willing to turn on the air conditioner to consume electricity. So Lan Shu had to settle for the next best thing and bought a freezer. She froze some homemade mung bean popsicles in the freezer, as well as a large ice basin. When you go to sleep at night, put two large basins of ice cubes in the room, which can cool down to some extent. On July 5th, Xiaobai arrived in Qingyang County from Kyoto. It was almost noon when he came, and Lan Shu had known Xiao Bai''s itinerary for a long time, so she picked him up outside the gate of the county bus station in advance. Because the car ordered by the garment factory has not yet arrived, Lan Shu can only ride a bicycle instead. At the bus station, Xiaobai didn¡¯t bring too much luggage, so he came lightly with a black backpack on his back. He was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and black trousers, and he looked energetic. Seeing Lan Shu, Xiao Bai suddenly smiled, and strode towards Lan Shu. "Lanshu, I''m here." He said. Lan Shu nodded, "Are you tired? Eat or rest first?" Traveling on the train overnight is really exhausting. Lan Shu has experienced this kind of situation every month recently. Xiaobai shook his head, "I''m not tired, let''s eat first." From yesterday morning to now, it''s just more than 20 hours without sleep, which is nothing to him. When he was in the army, his grandfather trained him much harder than this. Seeing that Xiaobai was indeed in good spirits, Lan Shu nodded in reassurance. The two left the station, Xiaobai hung his backpack on the handlebar of his bicycle, just like he did in Qingyang County before, riding with Lan Shu, riding in the direction Lan Shu pointed out¡ª ¡­ At noon, after the two had dinner in the county restaurant, Lan Shu took Xiao Bai to the house she bought. After knowing the location of Lan Shu''s residence, Xiao Bai has no plan to stay at Lan Shu''s house. He looked at Lan Shu, "My grandma''s house is not far from here, and just in front of her house is the Qiaotou Steamed Bun Shop. From now on, I''ll bring you breakfast every day." Xiao Bai said that he would bring breakfast, but the meaning was already very clear. He would come to see Lan Shu every day. Lan Shu didn''t think much about it, she nodded and agreed, "Then go back and see the elders first." As she spoke, she took out a key from her pocket and handed it to Xiao Bai, "This is the key to the house. If I go to the factory, you can come in and have a seat by yourself." When Lan Shu bought the house, she had reserved Xiaobai''s room, so she had prepared the key long ago. It''s just that she didn''t think of Xiaobai''s confession to herself in Kyoto. But fortunately, the relationship between them is back to the past now. So she gave the key without any hesitation. Xiao Bai paused for a moment before taking down the key. Then he raised his head, showed a clean and clear smile to Lan Shu, and replied, "Okay." In the afternoon, Lan Shu went to the factory, while Xiao Bai arrived at grandma''s house with a backpack on his back. ¡­ In the bridgehead of Linfu Street, the first house with a courtyard. Although Mrs. Lin knew that her little grandson would definitely come to visit her soon, she didn''t expect that this year his little grandson would come two months earlier than in previous years. It has been almost a year since I saw her, and the old lady found that her little grandson seems to have grown a little taller, and looks more stable and handsome~! Seeing her little grandson, Mrs. Lin excitedly held her little grandson''s hand, "Xiaobao, are you on vacation again?" "Yes." Xiaobai nodded first, and then explained, "Grandma, this time is not a vacation, but a holiday. I am not with my grandpa now. I am going to college this year, and it is summer vacation." Ms. Lin didn''t know about her grandson''s disappearance and amnesia. She was getting old. When Gu Jue went missing, Gu Anguo didn''t tell her. She was afraid that the old lady wouldn''t be able to stand the stimulation for a while, and something might happen to her body. Even the old lady didn''t know that Xiaobai went to study at Peking University School of Medicine. So in Mrs. Lin''s perception, her little grandson, like in previous years, comes to see her every year. It''s just that this year the little grandson is really old enough to go to college. The old lady was very happy when she learned that her little grandson was able to go to college. "Xiao Bao is as promising as your father~!" Back then her son Gu Anguo was a college student. Although her eldest grandson Gu Cheng also went to college, but because the eldest grandson is not close to her grandma, she has not returned to her hometown for more than ten years. Old lady Lin is old and has a bad memory. Even if Gu Anguo told her about Gu Cheng''s going to college before, she has forgotten it by now. Although Xiaobai has lost his memory, the relationship between him and his grandmother has not been affected by the loss of memory in the slightest. Moreover, in his previous dreams, there was also a picture of him growing up with his grandma when he was a child, so he is not unfamiliar with grandma at all. Even because of the reappearance of memory images, everything that happened around him when he was a child seems to be vivid in his mind. So he has a deeper affection for grandma. "Grandma, I will stay at home for a while this time." Xiao Bai said. Of course Mrs. Lin was very happy when she heard this. She held her little grandson''s hand tighter, and the smile on her face grew more. "Okay, okay, Xiaobao is sensible, I know grandma is getting old, so come and spend more time with grandma." Hearing this, Xiao Bai suddenly felt a little ashamed. But no matter what reason he came to grandma, it is a good thing to accompany grandma and make grandma happy. The grandparents and grandchildren haven''t seen each other for a long time, and when they enter the house, they inevitably have a lot to talk about. Seeing grandma was curious about his school situation, so Xiaobai told grandma about his school affairs. After a while, Mrs. Lin was surprised and proud, "Xiaobao is really amazing! Even better than your dad when he was in college." "By the way, Xiaobao, when will the heart medicine you researched be available for sale? Grandma will definitely buy it as soon as possible!" For the old lady, although the heart medicine is useless to her, it is something that her grandson participated in the research, so she wants to buy it and keep it at home. Seeing the medicine, she can think of the excellence of her little grandson and be proud of it. Xiaobai could understand his grandma''s mood, he smiled and hugged grandma''s shoulders, and patted lightly, "Grandma, let''s save that medicine for those who need it, so I won''t buy it, and I will research more in the future. More medicine to come." Old lady Lin listened and nodded, "Xiaobao is right, grandma listened to Xiaobao..." The two chatted and chatted, and the afternoon passed like this. In the evening, seeing that it was getting dark outside, Xiao Bai got up and said to the old lady, "Grandma, I will cook for you tonight." "Okay, okay, Xiaobao is really capable..." The old lady smiled, her eyes crooked. This night, Xiao Bai did not go to look for Lan Shu, but stayed with his grandma completely. (end of this chapter) Chapter 239: Married? Chapter 239 Married? The next day, Xiaobai got up early in the morning and went to the Qiaotou Steamed Bun Shop in front of his house to buy steamed buns, and cooked porridge by himself. He left a copy for his grandma, and took the rest to Lan Shu''s house. As soon as Lan Shu got up and washed her face, she heard a knock on the door, followed by Xiao Bai''s voice from outside the courtyard gate, "Lan Shu, I opened the door and came in." After speaking, he took out the key and opened the door. Breakfast is eaten by two people. Xiaobai is right, Lan Shu really likes the taste of the meat buns sold at Qiaotou Baozi Shop. Eating meat buns and drinking slightly sweet porridge with rock sugar at the right temperature, Lan Shu actually felt a faint sense of happiness in her heart. This feeling is directed at no one, but the bliss of a good life. She found that she really enjoyed living with Xiaobai a little bit. Because Xiaobai will take good care of everything about her. Lan Shu didn''t know when Xiao Bai knew her own tastes and preferences. In the past, she thought it was because Xiao Bai was careful, but later she realized, if it wasn''t for his attention to her, how could he be so careful? Thinking of this, Lan Shu suddenly felt a little troubled. She knew that although the relationship between her and Xiaobai seemed to be restored to the past, it was just an appearance. There must be traces of things that have happened. She seems to be calm on the outside, but she is thinking a lot in her heart. She and Xiaobai... Is it really possible? Lan Shu never thought about who she could have a relationship with in this world. She wasn''t resistant to feelings happening, but she never had hope. She believes that matters of relationship can only go with the flow. If there is such an opportunity, she will be very cautious and serious about her future relationship. The original owner, Lan Shu, had a failed marriage, and she didn''t want to follow in her footsteps. So when Xiao Bai suddenly told her that he liked her, Lan Shu instinctively distrusted her! She doesn''t believe that a teenager who is immature in thinking and age can be responsible for his own future feelings. That''s why she chose to avoid such an uncertain existence. But now, Xiaobai is taking care of her silently, making Lanshu think of the boy when he simply confessed... She couldn''t help but think about it, if she agreed to be with Xiaobai, the result... Lan Shu shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Let¡¯s wait and see what will happen in the future~ ¡­ After breakfast, Lan Shu is going to the toilet paper factory. She looked up at Xiao Bai who was washing lunch boxes and bowls and chopsticks by the pool in the yard. After a moment of silence, Lan Shu asked¡ª "Would you like to go to the toilet paper factory together later?" Xiaobai is the largest shareholder in the factory, and he has enough reasons to go. When asked by Lan Shu, Xiao Bai turned to look at her. "Okay." He nodded. After clearing away the dishes, Xiaobai got on his bicycle and drove Lanshu to the toilet paper factory. The place where Lan Shu bought a house is very close to the factory, and it only takes four or five minutes to get there by bicycle. At the gate of the factory, the security guards at the gate are all newly recruited in the past six months, so they don''t know Xiaobai. But when they saw Director Lan bringing a young man to the factory, the guards immediately let him go. Before entering the door, Lan Shu did not forget to explain to the guards on duty that they would remember Xiaobai, the major shareholder of the factory. The security guards guarding the gate have long heard that although Director Lan has the highest position in the factory, in fact there is still a major shareholder in the factory, and the control over the director is still higher than Director Lan! The security guards always thought it was just a rumor, but they didn''t expect it to be confirmed by Director Lan himself today! At this moment, looking at the handsome young man beside Lanchang, the security guards on duty all cast reverent glances at him. Although Xiaobai knew that the toilet paper factory had acquired the paper factory, he only saw everything with his own eyes today. The original small toilet paper factory workshop has now expanded dozens of times in size! There are several sanitary napkin production workshops in the factory, not to mention dozens of machines for rolling toilet paper and an assembly line for small bags of paper. Xiaobai followed Lan Shu to visit the whole toilet paper field, and they watched it for more than an hour. After that, the two went to the factory director''s office together. In the office, Lan Shu asked Secretary Qu to treat Xiaobai well, and then went to the office next door to Deputy Factory Director Zhu to chat with the deputy factory director. When the factory recruited Secretary Qu, Xiaobai had already returned to Kyoto, so although Secretary Qu had always known Mr. Gu Jue, the major shareholder in the factory, and Xiaobai also knew the existence of Secretary Qu, this was the first time the two had met. Secretary Qu looks handsome, with yellow and white skin, bright eyes, and a straight nose. Seeing Secretary Qu, Xiaobai subconsciously looked at him twice more. "How old is Secretary Qu this year?" Xiao Bai asked. Suddenly asked about his age by a major shareholder, Qu Zhou was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully, "I am twenty-three this year, and I will be twenty-four by the end of the year." twenty-three¡­ Only three years older than Lan Shu. Xiao Bai was a little unhappy. However, he didn''t show his mood on his face, but asked Secretary Qu again, "Is Secretary Qu married?" "Not yet." Qu Zhou replied. not married¡­ Xiaobai''s bad mood almost turned gloomy! But the next second, he heard Secretary Qu continue, "Although I''m not married, I already have a partner. We plan to get married before the end of the year." Hearing such an answer, Xiaobai''s face obviously changed from cloudy to sunny¡ª He smiled at Secretary Qu, "Then congratulations, tell me when you get married, as a shareholder in the factory, I should have a gift." Secretary Qu listened and nodded slightly flattered. "Thank you, Mr. Gu." Next, in the factory director''s office, the two got along very well. ¡­ Next door, Lan Shu and Zhu, deputy director of the factory, had a small meeting about the future development of the factory. The sales of toilet paper rolls are now well-known throughout the country following the TV commercials, and the sales continue to grow. With the same brand of Yunrou sanitary napkins, they are now found in almost every city in the country. There is only a new product in the factory - the sales of small paper bags are mediocre. So next, Lan Shu plans to make another advertisement for the small bag paper. The advertisement mainly reflects the convenience, cleanliness and sanitation of small packs of paper to replace the previous roll paper toilet paper advertisement. Deputy Director Zhu has no objection to Director Lan''s idea. The two discussed some details about the content of the advertisement before ending today''s exchange. When Lan Shu returned to her office, she saw Xiao Bai sitting at her desk, carefully looking at the factory''s financial statements. Secretary Qu stood beside him, answering his questions one by one. Seeing Lan Shu came back, Xiao Bai put down the things at hand and got up immediately. He walked up to Lan Shu in a few steps and asked, "Have you finished chatting with Director Zhu?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 240: unusual relationship Chapter 240 The relationship is unusual When Xiaobai met Deputy Director Zhu, he was still the director of the paper mill. After the toilet paper factory was spun off, Director Zhu was still the factory director. Back then, Xiaobai himself had worked in Director Zhu''s factory, so he hasn''t gotten used to changing his name yet. Hearing Xiaobai''s address to Deputy Director Zhu, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback. Then she replied, "Yeah." "Talk about the products that will be advertised in the factory." Lan Shu answered truthfully. Xiaobai nodded and didn''t ask any more questions. He knows that he is not a business material, what he has to do is to hand over the absolute control of the factory to Lan Shu, and completely trust Lan Shu''s ability. The toilet paper factory is done. There is still some time before noon. Lan Shu plans to go to the garment factory again. Originally, she planned to let Xiao Bai wait for her to come back in the toilet paper factory. But Xiaobai said that he could send her there. Back when the two of them had just left Tianshui Village and arrived in Qingyang County, no matter where Lan Shu went, Xiao Bai would take her there by bicycle. So now, Xiaobai has an instinctive habit of sending Lanshu away, and feels that he should do it. Lan Shu felt a little uncomfortable psychologically. In her eyes, Xiao Bai was a simple and clean boy. But now, although Xiao Bai''s demeanor is still very clean, the way he looks at him no longer has the original innocence. Lan Shu could feel the complexities hidden in Xiaobai''s eyes, as well as the emotional struggle. So she hesitated for a moment about letting Xiaobai send her off¡ª In the end, Lan Shu nodded silently after she really didn''t want to destroy the superficial calm of her relationship with Xiao Bai. ¡­ At the garment factory, Lan Shu came here today. Actually, there is nothing important to do. She just takes a look at the situation in the factory and observes the workers in various departments of the factory by the way. As the factory manager, if Lan Shu doesn''t know anything about the workers in her factory, she will be too unqualified. What she understands now is also to wait for the development of the factory to get better and better in the future, and when it is necessary to promote some managers, she can know who to promote. As for the candidate for the deputy director of the garment factory, Lan Shu is still hesitating. Liu Axing has actually done a good job at her job, but she is still a little worried about letting Lanshu hand over the entire factory to Liu Axing to manage. So after struggling a few days ago, Lan Shu decided to talk to Liu Axing today. In the workshop of the independent courtyard of the garment factory, in the factory director''s office in the courtyard. Lan Shu and Liu Axing closed the door and talked alone. Outside the door, Secretary Tang and Xiao Bai stood in front of the door. Xiaobai''s attention is in the office, but Secretary Tang''s eyes are on Xiaobai. As the factory director''s secretary, Secretary Tang had received several calls from Mr. Gu from Kyoto to the factory to find their factory director. Finally meeting someone this time, Secretary Tang was amazed that Young Master Gu''s appearance is really outstanding! She has never seen such a good-looking man! It''s like a big star in a pictorial! Through that phone call, Secretary Tang already knew that Young Master Gu in Jingdu might have some thoughts about their factory manager. Seeing someone now, she felt from the bottom of her heart that this young master from Kyoto really matched their factory manager in appearance! Actually, Secretary Tang didn''t gossip like this before, but now she is not only the secretary of the factory director, but also the future sister-in-law of the factory director. Therefore, she will inevitably worry more about the factory director''s personal affairs. Xiaobai has long discovered that Secretary Tang of the clothing factory has been observing him. And the way the other party looked at him was very meaningful. It''s not like the perspective of ordinary subordinate employees observing the friends around the leader. Even Xiaobai himself is not sure about that feeling. But he could feel that the other party looked at him without malice. Just when Xiaobai was having doubts, the door of the office opened¡ª Liu Axing, who was called in by Lan Shu to talk, came out of the room nervously, and then Secretary Tang went in and waited. Just now Lan Shu had talked with Liu Axing, the workshop supervisor of their factory, and she had the idea of ??promoting Liu Axing to become the deputy factory director in the future. After she inquired about Liu Axing''s own wishes, she asked Liu Axing to take over the position of acting deputy factory director first, for a period of three months as a probationary period for Liu Axing''s work. Liu Axing never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to be the deputy director of the factory! She is happy, excited, and nervous! She said that she would not disappoint the factory manager, and then she walked out of the office with a stern expression on her shoulders. In the office, Lan Shu saw Secretary Tang and Xiao Bai coming in, and then she realized that she hadn''t introduced Tang Chu to Xiao Bai. So when Tang Chu sat down at the secretary''s station near the door, Lan Shu told Xiaobai, "This is Secretary Tang. In addition to being my secretary, she is also my elder brother''s fiancee. Last month, my elder brother and Tang The secretary just got engaged." Hearing these words, Xiaobai finally knew what Secretary Tang was looking at him with! Xiaobai didn''t know that Brother Da Zhuang was engaged, and he didn''t expect Secretary Tang to be the future sister-in-law. Now that he understands the situation, Xiaobai''s eyes on Secretary Tang have changed a bit. He called Secretary Tang, "Sister-in-law." Tang Chu felt a little embarrassed about this title. She glanced at Director Lan, and found that Director Lan didn''t mind Young Master Gu yelling like that at all. So Director Lan has an unusual relationship with this young master from Kyoto, right? Tang Chu didn''t know that Xiaobai lost his memory and was taken in by the Lan family. Xiaobai called Lan Dazhuang Brother Dazhuang, so calling her sister-in-law is totally appropriate. ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu originally planned to take Xiao Bai to the canteen of the toilet paper factory for dinner. She didn''t expect her elder brother to come to the county today by coincidence. Came with her eldest brother, and her third brother Lan Sibo. In the past few days, Lan Sibo has been living at home. As a professional scientific research pig farmer, Lan Sibo also has some knowledge about raising chickens. After he went to see the free-range chicken farm in Houshan, he gave his eldest brother a lot of advice. These days, the two brothers spend their free time in the free-range chicken farm in the back mountain. Today they finally packed up and came to the county. Lan Dazhuang came to the county this time mainly because of three things. One is to collect wheat bran from Uncle Chen and Mrs. Xie, the grain stall owners in the county. Second, come and send some eggs to the county town for my little sister to eat. In the past few months, the hens in free-range chicken farms have been hatching chicks one after another, and few eggs have been laid. So in the past three months, Lan Dazhuang no longer sold eggs to the cafeteria of the toilet paper factory, but divided up the small number of eggs, kept some at home, and usually brought some for his younger sister and lover. Although collecting wheat bran and delivering eggs came first, Lan Dazhuang felt that he mainly came to the county to see his fianc¨¦e~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 241: Are you willing to let go? Chapter 241 Are you willing to let go? Parked the tractor directly at the gate of the garment factory. Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo didn''t wait for a while before their little sister came out of the factory. Lan Dazhuang really didn''t expect that in addition to seeing his little sister today, he also saw Xiaobai beside her! Didn¡¯t Xiaobai return to his home in Kyoto last year? When did he come to Qingyang County again? When Xiaobai saw the conspicuous tractor and Lan Dazhuang sitting on the tractor, he was slightly startled¡ª Then Xiaobai called out immediately, "Brother Zhuang." "Big brother?" After leaving work, Secretary Tang walked out from the gate of the garment factory with a puzzled expression on his face. If she read correctly just now, Young Master Gu shouted in the direction of Big Brother Ander and his third younger brother, right? But who is ''Big Brother Big''? All along, Lan Dazhuang told himself his target was his name "Lan Ande". As for the name of "Lan Dazhuang", which has no cultural level, he was always embarrassed to let the target know. Now when he saw his partner come out of work, and heard Xiaobai address him, Lan Dazhuang was a little panicked! What should the subject do if he dislikes his name? ? ? Fortunately, Tang Chu''s attention was not on finding irrelevant people. ¡ªFor example, who is Big Brother? Seeing her betrothed, she immediately walked over quickly and called out, "Brother Ander." Now it''s time for Xiaobai to be confused. "Ender...who?" He obviously saw Secretary Tang shouting another name at Brother Da Zhuang! Zheng was puzzled, and beside him, Lan Shu leaned closer to his ear, and told Xiao Bai in a low voice that her elder brother announced his real name in order to establish a good image in front of the girl he liked. Seeing Lan Shu approaching, Xiao Bai froze suddenly¡ª Feeling Lanshu''s warm breath brushing against his cheeks faintly while speaking, Xiaobai clenched his fists nervously! He tried his best to focus on himself, not to be distracted by random thoughts, so he could barely hear Lan Shu''s words clearly. Knowing the truth of the situation, Xiaobai immediately concealed his panic and replied, "So, so it is like this." It was also because of the unnaturalness in Xiaobai''s tone that Lan Shu realized that she and Xiaobai had indeed gotten a little closer just now. but¡­ Is it because of the distance between Xiaobai and himself that he is so nervous? Is Xiaobai so innocent? On the other side, Lan Dazhuang brought his third brother to the county today for a purpose. He went on a date with his partner for dinner alone, and the task of driving the tractor to collect wheat bran was given to Lan Sibo. It was also at this time that Lan Sibo knew the reason why his eldest brother took him to teach him how to drive a tractor in the village in the past few days! It turns out that his elder brother just looks simple and honest, but in fact he is serious~! In order to date smoothly, I think so long-term! But even though Lan Sibo has learned to drive a tractor, he still doesn''t know where to collect wheat bran. So Lan Shu has to lead the way in this matter. Looking at the fact that the eldest brother and his fianc¨¦e don''t meet very often, Lan Shu has no objection to the arrangement of the eldest brother. Told the third brother that the wheat bran would be collected in the afternoon, and then Lan Shu asked the security guard at the gate of the factory to carry the two baskets of eggs on the tractor to the office, while she took the third brother to a nearby restaurant for dinner. At the dinner table, Lan Sibo realized that the good-looking young man next to my little sister was the boy he had suggested on the phone to be raised at home as my little sister''s son-in-law¡ª Lan Sibo sighed a little, "Little sister, Xiaobai looks so good-looking, are you really willing to let go?" Lan Sibo was quite puzzled by this! Back then, Xu Yunjie from the Xu family in the village was not even a tenth of Xiaobai''s in appearance, so he could make his younger sister''s eyes and hearts full of each other, and she talked about wanting to marry Xu Yunjie every day. But now, with the ''extreme product'' in front of her eyes, the younger sister is indifferent. When did his younger sister change her gender? When the third brother asked this question on the spot at the dinner table, Lan Shu almost spit out a mouthful of rice! She looked at Xiaobai in embarrassment, and then met her third brother''s gaze, "Third brother, Xiaobai and I are friends." "Friends? Friends can also be targeted~! Our unit got together in the end, and they were friends from the beginning." Lan Sibo really felt that it was a pity that the little girl missed it like this. So he asked Xiaobai on the spot, "What do you think of my little sister?" For Xiao Bai, Lan Shu is absolutely perfect in every way! So he replied truthfully, "Lanshu is fine." "Then do you like my little sister?" Lan Sibo asked again. "Yes." Xiaobai replied, then nervously took a drink from the cup in front of him. Lan Shu: ¡­ Originally, the matter that she avoided specifically, was unexpectedly picked up by her third brother! And hearing Xiaobai''s answer so calmly, Lan Shu couldn''t help but think of Xiaobai''s love for her without hesitation at Peking University School of Medicine and at the Lan''s House in Kyoto. But can his liking really last? How long can it last? Lan Shu frowned, really unwilling to think about the answer. She looked at Lan Sibo, pretending she didn''t hear anything, "Third brother, talk less and eat more." ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu, who was going to take her third brother to collect wheat bran, suddenly had something to do and couldn''t leave. Fortunately, Xiaobai knew the location of Uncle Chen and Mrs. Xie''s house at the grain stall, so this matter was handed over to Xiaobai, who sat behind the tractor and showed Lan Sibo the way. It happened that Lan Sibo still had a lot to ask Xiaobai. The little girl was present at noon, and the sentence that made him talk less and eat more really blocked Lan Sibo''s mouth. Lan Sibo felt that as an older brother, he must obey the younger sister. If the younger sister was upset, he would not say it in person, but now he can talk about it behind his back. The tractor was "chug chug..." driving on the road, and Lan Sibo still had time to chat with Xiaobai behind him. "Xiaobai, do you really like my little sister? What do you like about her?" "Lan Shu is fine." Xiao Bai replied again. "Very well, you like it? There are so many good people in this world~!" Lan Sibo was not satisfied with Xiaobai''s answer. "Your answer doesn''t mean you like it." Lan Sibo was very sure of this. Although he has never been in a relationship, he has seen a lot of affectionate appearances of colleagues in his unit, so Lan Sibo still knows a little about what liking is. Xiao Bai was a little unhappy when he heard that his feelings were questioned by the third brother of the Lan family. He was not angry with Lan Sibo, but felt that the third brother of the Lan family could not understand his feelings. But immediately after, Xiaobai heard Lan Sibo say, "The feeling of liking someone is definitely not only good for the other person. I think it should be the kind of feeling that you want to see the other person all the time, and you will feel sad if you don''t see him. The face is greasy." Lan Sibo thought of how his colleague in his unit fell in love with his partner. (end of this chapter) Chapter 242: new car Chapter 242 New car ¡°Loving someone should be liking everything about this person, including his shortcomings, and being able to tolerate everything about the other person.¡± "In this way, you can go far in the future, instead of liking it for a while, getting along for a long time, and not liking it when you don''t feel it." Talking and talking, Lan Sibo thought of another colleague in his unit. That was a small leader of their research institute. When they first got married two years ago, they were still in love with their daughter-in-law. Later, the two stayed together for a long time, picking each other''s faults. A few days before Lan Sibo came back from vacation, the leader and his wife had a fight. Lan Sibo doesn''t want his little sister to find a brother-in-law in the future, and the two quarrel at home every day. That''s why he said these words first, so that Xiaobai can think clearly. This is the first time Xiaobai heard someone talk about their relationship with him. He really doesn''t know much about the concept of liking. Now that he heard what the third brother of the Lan family said, Xiao Bai thought about it seriously. Usually, he often thinks of Lan Shu unconsciously, and wants to see Lan Shu. When he can¡¯t see him, he will feel down, but when he meets him, he doesn¡¯t dare to be sticky... He likes Lan Shu, but he doesn''t see any shortcomings in Lan Shu. As he said to Third Brother Lan, Lan Shu is very good, so good that he has no shortcomings in his eyes. When he was with Lan Shu, Xiao Bai felt very at ease, and the air seemed to become warmer. Xiaobai never thought that one day his likes would fade and disappear. He thinks what he lacks is an opportunity. As long as Lan Shu gives him a chance, he and Lan Shu can walk together for a long time... Behind the tractor, there was no sound for a long time, and Lan Sibo couldn''t help turning his head to look at Xiaobai. Seeing Xiaobai in a daze, Lan Sibo didn''t want to disturb him at first. But¡­ "Xiaobai, this road is coming to an end, which way should I turn?" Lan Sibo''s voice finally brought Xiao Bai back to his senses! Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully at the surrounding environment, only to find¡ª "Brother, we went the wrong way, we should have turned left at the next intersection." When Lan Sibo heard this, he stared, "Then why didn''t you tell me just now?" noob:¡­ Because he was in a daze just now. Fortunately, their wrong path did not go too far. Next, Lan Sibo didn''t dare to continue chatting with Xiaobai, but let him focus on guiding the way. The two of them went to the grain stall owner, Uncle Chen, and collected two to three hundred catties of wheat bran. Later, in the yard of Aunt Xie¡¯s house, another two hundred catties were collected. Although I didn¡¯t collect much wheat bran this time, fortunately, my family has accumulated a lot before, and the wheat bran is enough for a short time. However, in the long run, Lan Sibo felt that only relying on harvesting wheat bran in Qingyang County would definitely not be able to meet the demand of subsequent free-range chicken farms. He has seen the number of chicks in the free-range chicken farm with his own eyes! I heard from my elder brother that the weather has been good these few months. The hens in the chicken farm have hatched many chicks, and now there are one or two hundred adult chickens in the free-range chicken farm. There are seven or eight hundred half-grown chickens and chickens that have just hatched for about half a month! This is only the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, a large number of chickens will be hatched on the free-range chicken farm. At that time, the number of chicks will be at least 1,500. Even if the wheat bran accumulated at home is enough for this year, it will definitely not be enough when a batch of chickens multiply in the spring of next year! So regarding this matter, Lan Sibo decided that when he went back to see the younger sister later, he still had to talk to the younger sister. As for his big brother... Lan Sibo has heard that the older brother always listens to the younger sister''s ideas about the free-range chicken farm and orchard. ¡­ In the afternoon, at the Yunshu Garment Factory, the Santana car that the factory had ordered from a foreign car factory was finally delivered today! A black car, bright enough to reflect people, attracted many employees in the factory to stop and watch. The car was pulled over by a truck. After the car got off the ground, Lan Shu originally wanted to get in the car and drive around first¡ª But I thought that although she used to learn to drive during the summer vacation when she was in college, the original owner grew up in the village. She can''t even drive a tractor, so how can she drive a car? So Lan Shu could only let the waiting driver from the factory whom she had just called to try the car. Originally, things like making phone calls should be left to the secretary, but because her eldest brother came to the county today, Lan Shu gave Secretary Tang half a day off, so she had to do the contacting by herself. The newly recruited driver in the factory turned out to be an employee of the county transportation team, because the garment factory and toilet paper factory had always had business dealings with the county transportation team, and they had a good relationship. So when I heard that Director Lan of the garment factory wanted to hire drivers, the team immediately recommended several experienced drivers from the factory to apply for the job. During the period of hiring a driver, Lan Shu happened to be busy in Kyoto and couldn''t come back, so she asked Secretary Tang to make the decision and chose a driver to stay. Now it¡¯s finally time for the driver to come in handy¡ª The new driver, Master Zhang, used to drive big cars in the team. This is the first time he has used such an expensive Santana. Before getting in the car, he went to the sink next to the wall and washed his hands several times. Even so, he couldn''t help being a little nervous. He was afraid that if he accidentally scratched such an expensive car, he wouldn''t be able to afford it! Fortunately, he is also confident in his driving skills. After calming down a little, Master Zhang opened the door and got into the car. The car drove slowly around the yard, but Master Zhang didn''t find any problems, so he suggested to Lan Shu, "Director, can I drive the car outside for a test run?" "Of course." Lan Shu tapped her chin. "From now on, you will be our factory''s special car driver. Since I invite you to come here, I will definitely hand over the car to you with confidence. If you want to test the car, go for it. The new car must be inspected carefully, and if you have any problems, just ask the manufacturer. Solve it in time." Lan Shu looked at Master Zhang and said seriously. The words of the factory manager Lan greatly encouraged the driver, Master Zhang. Now, he has completely stabilized his mind. "Director Lan, don''t worry! I will definitely check it carefully, and there is no problem before letting the car stay!" When the car drove away, Finance Pan, who had not been in the factory for a long time, said that he would go out to test the car together. The money for buying a car has to be taken from the financial account. As the factory financial manager, he must have strict requirements on the quality of the car to ensure that no penny of the money going out of the factory is wasted. Former workshop director and now acting deputy factory director Liu Axing originally wanted to get in the car to experience the feeling of driving. But thinking that she, the acting deputy factory director, just took office, she still has a lot of things to do~! So Liu Axing calmed down and continued to work hard¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 243: sustainable development Chapter 243 Sustainable Development The driver, Master Zhang, drove out and came back after running for more than half an hour. According to Master Zhang, the new car is in good condition without any problems. Finance Pan also talked about his experience in the car, saying that the car is very comfortable to sit in, but the leather inside the new car smells a bit stronger, and more ventilation is needed next. The car had just parked in the yard outside the workshop of the garment factory. After a while, Lan Sibo drove Xiaobai back with a tractor. As a professional pig breeder, Lan Sibo didn''t expect that he would have the skills to drive a tractor after going home for vacation these few days. Today''s trip to collect wheat bran, I can practice driving a tractor, and I can also learn about the feed supply situation of the free-range chicken farm in the back mountain. Generally speaking, Lan Sibo thinks it is quite interesting. After returning, Lan Sibo immediately went to the younger sister''s office and told the younger sister about the hatching of the chickens in the free-range chicken farm. and the supply of wheat bran in Qingyang County is not enough. Lan Shu had thought of this a long time ago, and when Lan Sibo mentioned it, she said immediately. "Third brother, don''t worry, now my two factories are cooperating well with the county transport team. After the grain harvest in various places in the second half of the year, when the team delivers goods to other places, I will tell the drivers to pass by the village along the way when they return. Get some wheat bran." "In this way, the trucks are pulling things back and forth, and the drivers of the transportation team can also have an extra income." After hearing what the little girl said, Lan Sibo realized that his worries were unnecessary. It seems that the younger sister knows the development of the free-range chicken farm at home and even the orchard in the back mountain. "but¡­" Lan Shu''s voice suddenly sounded. She changed her voice and said, "In the second half of the year, if the transportation team transports the wheat bran, how to store it? It''s still a problem." "Although our house is not small, the rooms are all for people to live in. There are not many places where we can put wheat bran. Before the third brother, you were not at home, and the rooms were all occupied. This is not good." "So next, before harvesting a large amount of wheat bran, our family needs to build a shelter from the wind and rain. Whether to build a roof on half of the yard or buy another piece of land to build a warehouse must be considered." According to Lan Shu''s thinking, she thinks it is better to build a warehouse. Now it is cheap to buy land, it doesn¡¯t cost much, and the construction period of the warehouse is also fast. And the warehouse can store more wheat bran, and it will be better preserved than piled up in the yard. The most important thing is that the scale of the chicken farm will definitely expand in the future. Although their yard is relatively large, the space is limited. Even if the warehouse is not built this year, and the number of chickens will increase sharply next year, the warehouse will still be late. In addition to building warehouses and hoarding wheat bran, the breeding industry chain of free-range chicken farms in Houshan will also be gradually established. The chickens raised must be able to be sold, so that free-range chicken farms can develop sustainably. Lan Shu''s temporary idea is to continue raising chickens in the short term. In the first half of next year, maybe the family can open a few stores specializing in braised chicken in Qingyang County and Linjiang City. A brisk chicken restaurant, selling one or two hundred chickens a day is no problem! At that time, the chickens from free-range chicken farms may not be available. In addition to the whole marinated chicken, split chicken can also be arranged. Separate braised chicken legs, chicken wings, chicken feet, chicken necks, chicken heads, and spicy flavors can also be arranged. As for the crispy fried chicken, Lan Shu actually thought about it. However, considering that free-range chickens from free-range chicken farms are relatively firm in quality, if you want to make fried chicken, the best choice is to feed broiler chickens, which are more suitable for tender meat and more meat. Stop thinking, Lan Shu didn''t think too much about the future, and think about the future things later. At this stage, the matter of building a warehouse near the village should be brought up. So when Lan Dazhuang came back from a date in the evening, Lan Shu talked with her elder brother and third brother about building a large warehouse at home. Lan Dazhuang''s attitude towards these matters is that he listens to his little sister in everything! Lan Sibo also felt that what the little girl said made sense. So the three brothers and sisters made a decision immediately. As for the free-range chicken farm and orchard in the back mountain, the second brother Lan Xiuming also has a share, and he should also be consulted for the construction of the warehouse. Regarding this, Lan Dazhuang said that he would talk to his second brother when he was free. The implication is that the opinion of the second child is not important. The three brothers and sisters have already made up their minds. Is there any difference in what the second child says? Although Lan Shu felt that the elder brother''s attitude seemed to be a bit arbitrary, but his sole judgment was also his own, so Lan Shu had nothing to say. Besides, Xiaobai, who watched the three brothers and sisters of the Lan family make decisions the whole time, was a little envious of such a brother-sister relationship. Lan Shu is not the biological sister of Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo, but they can be closer together than relatives. As for myself, the blood relationship between Gu Cheng and him is much closer than that of the brothers and sisters of the Lan family. It''s a pity that their half-brothers almost reached the point where they could never die¡ª ¡­ In the next few days, Lan Shu went back to the village and bought a piece of land with her brothers. When she returned to the village, she didn''t ask the driver to drive her there, but asked her elder brother to pick her up. A Santana is rare in a county town, let alone a village. Lan Shu could imagine that if she really went back by car, the villagers would definitely watch her doorstep, and she would not be able to cope with all kinds of neighbors dropping by to chat, and she would have no time to do business at all. So it is better to keep a low profile at this stage. When he learned that Lan Shu had returned to the village, Xiao Bai also came back with him. After all, he lived in the Lan family. After being away for so long, Xiaobai also wanted to visit Uncle Shengli and Aunt Chunfang. Stayed in Lan''s house for two days, because the extra house is now piled with wheat bran, so Xiao Bai shares a room with Lan Sibo at night. In the past two days, Lan Dazhuang had work to do during the day, while Xiaobai followed Lan Shu and Lan Sibo to deal with the village cadres, buying land, recruiting workers, and laying foundations. Lan Shu originally planned to use the money to build a warehouse, but was rejected by Lan Dazhuang. In the beginning, the four brothers and sisters pooled together some money left, and in the past few months, Lan Dazhuang went to the county town to sell eggs every month, and saved hundreds of dollars, so there was no shortage of funds to build the warehouse. After her family found more than a dozen villagers who could be masons in the village to lay the foundation of the warehouse, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to the county seat. ¡­ Qingyang County Toilet Paper Factory, Secretary Qu received the news that the toilet paper factory in Chiping City, which has been following their trend, started selling toilet paper rolls. The roll toilet paper from the other factory is 10 cents cheaper per pack than the roll toilet paper from your own factory! Although the difference was only a dime, this kind of price-lowering behavior made Secretary Qu, Deputy Factory Director Zhu, and the factory workers who knew about it very angry! (end of this chapter) Chapter 244: excitation Chapter 244 Incentives Before Chiping Sanitary Paper Factory has been learning from them, from ordinary sanitary napkins to 290MM sanitary napkins for night use combined with day and night, and later ordered paper rolling machines from Linjiang Machinery Factory to produce toilet paper rolls. It¡¯s almost like what the Yunrou toilet paper factory produces, and the other party learns. Even the machines that produce sanitary napkins and toilet rolls are ordered by the same manufacturer. Their Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory has always been magnanimous and did not argue with the other party, but the other party''s behavior of lowering the price is too dishonest! The profit of roll paper toilet paper is not big, and a dime less is reducing the profit. When Lan Shu came back from the village, when she was inspecting the toilet paper factory the next day, she happened to meet the deputy factory director Zhu and other middle-level managers in the factory to discuss the situation. Standing outside the door, Lan Shu stepped into the office after hearing the words of Deputy Factory Director Zhu, and other leaders such as the workshop supervisor and sales manager, who were only aggrieved but unable to come up with effective suggestions. "If they want to sell it cheap, then it''s better." Lan Shu came to the conference table, and Deputy Factory Director Zhu immediately got up to make room for her. She didn''t sit down immediately, but glanced at Secretary Qu. Soon, Secretary Qu moved another chair from another place and placed it next to the main seat of the conference table. Lan Shu stretched out her hand, and while inviting Deputy Director Zhu to sit back at her original seat, she said to the workers in the factory who were qualified to attend the meeting. "We are going to take the brand route. If they want to lower the price, it will only lower the standard and make the public think it is a low-end product!" Lan Shu''s words were resounding, and when the words fell, everyone in the conference room had already calmed down their anxious and angry mood. However, Deputy Director Zhu was still a little worried about her words, "But they are 10 cents less than us..." "But how much roll paper do they produce every month?" Lan Shu answered Deputy Director Zhu''s concerns with another sentence. Thinking about it, the reel machines of the Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory are all bought from the Linjiang City Machinery Factory. Now they don¡¯t know if there are five roll paper machines in their factory, but there are thirty roll paper machines in their Yunrou toilet paper factory! The productivity of 30 paper winding machines is far behind the opponent! In such a situation, after the products in the other factory are sold out, there is not much follow-up productivity at all. In the market, their Yunrou roll toilet paper still occupies the main sales share. Thinking of this, Deputy Director Zhu breathed a sigh of relief¡ª "It seems that my worries are unnecessary." He said. "Actually, it''s not superfluous." Lan Shu took up the topic. "We used to sell very well toilet paper rolls, and advertised on TV, so the public has a high degree of recognition for the products in our factory." "The other party wants to sell the toilet paper rolls produced in their own factory, so they can only use price cuts to open up sales channels." Lan Shu didn''t deny that the director of the Chiping toilet paper factory was really smart enough to think of selling at a lower price. The other party¡¯s price reduction is only for the sake of profit, and there is no need to care about the big manufacturers in the same industry. "And toilet paper rolls are not only based on price, but also on quality. Like the Chiping toilet paper factory, there may be many toilet paper factories developed after learning from our factory." "What we, Yunrou, have to do is to continuously improve the quality of our products, build a reputation with quality, and become the brand of choice in the hearts of the people." Perhaps it was because Lan Shu''s words were too inspiring. In the meeting room, everyone showed excited and excited expressions on their faces. "Yes! We must talk about quality!" "We are sure of the color and fineness of the paper produced in our own factory!" said the workshop director. "Not only is it sure, didn''t Director Lan say that? We must continue to improve product quality. Our production department will take what Director Lan said as the main core, and continue to improve the quality of the original toilet paper roll!" "Director Lan, don''t worry, we know what to do!" "Our sales department will also work hard to fight for the best sales position for our factory''s products in the sales stores in various cities." Seeing the small middle-level workers in the factory looking like they had been beaten with chicken blood, at this moment, Lan Shu felt that she should also thank Chiping City Toilet Paper Factory. If there is no competition from other factories, the workers in their own factory will not have the motivation to forge ahead. This meeting has been held up to now, and it has been almost done. But Lan Shu still has something to say at the end. "Since we want to follow the quality reputation route and not compete with low-end products for the market, then the outer packaging design of roll toilet paper and sanitary napkins must also keep up." Speaking, Lan Shu turned her head and told Deputy Director Zhu. "Let''s add another design department in the factory. In addition to product packaging design, it can also be used for product announcements in the factory in the future." Deputy Director Zhu nodded, "Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible." As for any words of factory director Lan about the development of the factory, deputy factory director Zhu has already explained it, and he must implement it! Because countless previous experiences told him that as long as Factory Director Lan said it, it must be right and it was good for the factory. Deputy factory director Zhu''s thoughts have already subtly affected all the middle-level leaders in the factory. Therefore, the whole toilet paper factory, Lan Shu''s words, are absolutely! ¡­ On the other side, in Yunshu Garment Factory. During the few days when Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village, Liu Axing, the acting deputy factory director, finally started her work thoroughly. Before Lan Shu returned to the village, Liu Axing had already recommended three outstanding workers in the factory to become the directors of the three workshops of the garment factory. Afterwards, she can manage the garment workshop more easily, so that she has the energy to take care of other aspects of the factory. From finance, to sales channels, Liu Axing quickly understood and was familiar with the development status of the factory. After that, it is to promote the staff dormitory, large canteen, and shower building projects funded by the factory. When Lan Shu came back, she found that Liu Axing was busier than before. She ran around from the original three workshops, and now she is immersed in reading materials and going to the construction site. After listening to Secretary Tang talk about Liu Axing''s work these days, Lan Shu still quite approves of Liu Axing''s work direction. Liu Axing knew her own shortcomings, so she went to understand the sales situation in the factory. Because as long as the purchase and sales in the factory are strictly controlled to ensure that there will be no financial problems, then her position as the deputy factory manager will be fully grasped. Lan Shu is looking forward to Liu Axing''s growth. Maybe in less than three months, her acting deputy factory director will be able to become a full-time employee! "By the way, if the acting deputy factory manager wants to use the car, he can just report to the office." Lan Shu and Secretary Tang explained. "In addition, there will be an office for the deputy director of the factory." She said. (end of this chapter) Chapter 245: refused to go to get off work Chapter 245 Refusing to leave work Because of the limited space in the courtyard workshop of the garment factory, apart from the original two bungalows for the office and financial room, the newly built security room only has half a room. Now there is another car parked, so there is really no room to add another office. So the office of the deputy factory manager was built next to the workshops of the two garment factories near the machinery factory. Since the office was going to be built, naturally it would not be just a separate one. Lan Shu explained the financial appropriation and asked Secretary Tang to notify the construction team of the staff dormitory to transfer people to start the construction of a row of two-story buildings. The space between the two workshops is not small. Lan Shu plans to build six rooms on the upper and lower floors, with stairs in the middle. In this way, after the house is built, the current factory director''s office and financial office can also be moved there. As for the two bungalows in the courtyard of the detached workshop, they are used for another purpose. ¡­ July 13th, Xiaobai has been in Qingyang County for more than a week. In the past few days, he has been able to see Lan Shu almost every day. Although the purpose of Xiaobai''s first visit to Qingyang County was not only to meet Lan Shu, but also to find out who murdered him back then. And through those people, find the messengers behind them. But the progress of those things was temporarily delayed by Xiao Bai because Lan Shu was going to the capital soon. Xiaobai knows that Lan Shu has a job at Kyoto TV station, so she spends a few days every month to go to Kyoto. Besides, it seems that Lan Shu is also involved in the business of Jingdu Lan''s counter in the mall. So according to Xiaobai''s observation, Lan Shu spends at least one week in Kyoto every month. Therefore, seeing that Lan Shu will leave in a few days, Xiao Bai is not in a hurry to investigate his affairs. After Lan Shu leaves Qingyang County, it won''t be too late for him to start investigating. During the past few days of getting along, Xiaobai found that Lan Shu had a lot of things to do, and she hardly left herself any time to rest. Even if the toilet paper factory and the clothing factory are operating as usual, she can hold a meeting with several leaders in the factory to plan the future development of the factory. Xiaobai knows that it is because of Lan Shu''s promotion that the toilet paper factory and garment factory can develop so fast and get better and better! On the day Lan Shu left Qingyang County, Xiao Bai watched her off in front of the garment factory gate. This time when going to Kyoto, Lan Shu finally stopped taking the train, but had a new car bought by the factory as a means of transportation. Master Zhang drives very steadily, because he is used to driving trucks before, and he can endure it quite well! So Lan Shu set off from Qingyang County at 7:30 in the morning, and by 3:00 in the afternoon, she had already entered the boundary of Kyoto. On the way, I rested in the service area for less than half an hour, and asked the driver to eat something and go to the toilet. She was the only one in the back seat of the car, so Lan Shu had already rested on the road. Considering the hard work of the driver, Lan Shu planned to ask Master Zhang to find a guest house to rest after arriving in Kyoto. But Master Zhang said, "Director, what is this distance? You don''t know that when I was driving a truck, I was on the road for two or three days!" "Driving while fatigued is too dangerous." Lan Shu emphasized. I haven''t driven for four hours yet, and I have to rest for more than 20 minutes to avoid fatigue driving, but she still needs to let the driver remember. Driving carelessly, relatives cry two lines... So he talked about it, and Master Zhang said, "Director Lan, it''s only after three o''clock, and it''s not time for me to get off work. Otherwise, I won''t rest until half past six?" As he spoke, he already asked, "Where are you going now, Director Lan?" Seeing that Master Zhang is indeed in good spirits, Lan Shu hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Then let''s go to the eastern suburbs to have a look." Lan Shu wanted to take a look at the progress of building a house in the last half month. It just so happens that their location is not very far from the eastern suburbs of Kyoto, so they are barely on the way. Under Lan Shu''s guidance, it took Master Zhang about 20 minutes to drive the car near the house Lan Shu bought in the eastern suburbs. The weather is good today, although it is summer temperature, but the sky is cloudy and sheltered, not so sunny. Getting out of the car, Lan Shu asked the driver to wait there. She walked for another four or five minutes, and finally saw her house. The rebuilt house has been capped with three floors. It covers an area of ??300 square meters and has a large yard. The area in the courtyard was not wasted. Lan Shu didn''t plan to plant flowers and plants, but built three interconnected bungalows on the left and right sides. In the future, small-scale cosmetics production workshops can be used in the one-story house, while the upstairs of the villa, so many rooms are not used for living, but for offices and storage of cosmetics. Put the cosmetics upstairs to prevent the outer packaging from getting damp. In addition, if you don¡¯t make cosmetics in this house and this type of apartment in the future, the bungalows on both sides will be demolished and greened to become a small villa. In the yard, the original walnut tree has been preserved, and the branches have been pruned to a certain extent. It is closer to the bungalow on the east side, while two persimmon trees are planted next to the bungalow on the west side. The utilization rate of the land area of ??the whole yard is very high. The house has been built, and some workers are making cement walls for the house. Lan Shu didn''t come too close, but just stood in front of the door to watch the progress. Originally, she didn''t want to disturb the workers'' work, but her appearance quickly attracted the workers'' attention. "Miss Lan, you are here." The mason foreman who was in charge of the work here knew Lan Shu. When he saw the master coming, he quickly ran over with the masonry knife in his hand. Lan Shu then walked towards the yard, and after standing still, she nodded, "Come and see the progress of the project." When the foreman heard this, he immediately reported the situation, "The weather is good recently, the cement dries quickly, as long as it doesn''t rain, the house can be painted in half a month~!" Lan Shu knew what the foreman said, but it was impossible not to rain in summer. She looked up at the sky... It is estimated that it will rain in the last two days. So her house probably won''t be seen until the next time she comes to Kyoto. ¡­ Lan Shu didn''t stay at the construction site for too long, and returned to the car. It was just four o''clock, and the driver, Mr. Zhang, was stubborn and refused to leave work early, so she went to Huaxia Mall again. The last time she came to Kyoto, she didn''t tell her parents immediately. This time, she had a car and it was very convenient to travel, so Lan Shu planned to tell her family about her coming to Kyoto earlier. Although she only needs to make a phone call to deliver the news, since she has time, she can just stop by the cosmetics counter to check the situation. Master Zhang used to drive all over the country, and he still knows the main buildings in Kyoto. "Director Lan, I know the way to Huaxia Shopping Mall. I used to deliver goods to your garment factory and toilet paper factory, and I have been to Kyoto many times, so I know most of the places in Kyoto." (end of this chapter) Chapter 246: please eat Chapter 246 Please eat Lan Shu only knew that Master Zhang''s former work unit was Qingyang County Transportation Team. The transportation team has been cooperating with the toilet paper factory and the garment factory for almost a year, and they have a good relationship with each other. So when the garment factory needed to recruit drivers, the transportation team took the initiative to recommend several employees to apply for the factory. Lan Shu didn''t expect that the driver finally selected by the factory would run through the Kyoto line. From this point of view, Secretary Tang has done a good job of selecting the driver~! The car arrived at Huaxia Shopping Center at 4:30. A black Santana car is very rare in Qingyang County, and there are not many cars on the roads in the entire county. But in Kyoto, outside the bustling shopping malls, there are five or six cars parked. But even so, the new Santana will still make passers-by look sideways! When Lan Shu got out of the car and went upstairs, she even heard someone whispering nearby, "The big boss came to the mall again..." Nowadays, being able to afford a car is a status symbol for the rich¡ª ¡­ Upstairs in the shopping mall, on the second floor, tape recorders and audio counters. Today Qian Qing came to the counter with a large box of Walkmans to deliver to Lan Weicheng. After the goods arrived, the two handed over and checked the delivery quantity. Seeing Lan Weicheng cautiously checking the status of the Walkman one by one, Qian Qing rolled his eyes speechlessly. "Old Lan, with your nonchalant appearance, without your shrewd daughter, it would be impossible to make a big deal!" What Qian Qing said was not a joke, but what he felt from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, if they hadn''t had Lan Shu''s foresight back then, and their bold investment proposal, their current Walkman processing factory might not be as large, but they definitely would have made a lot of money! Lan Shu can be said to have lost his eyes by dumping money, so that he and Lu Wei gave up the shares of the Walkman. And a handicap is still more than half! Thinking that more than half of his business shares are in the hands of others, Qian Qing feels so distressed that he can''t breathe. But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of Lanshu, from the appearance and packaging design of the Walkman, as well as the program promotion behind it. Let the name of their "Sound Music" Walkman resound all over the country! So Qian Qing doesn''t regret that he took Lan Shu''s money back then, which caused his and Lu Wei''s technology to be routinely used. He just thinks that he has run the Walkman processing factory so well, Lan Shu must treat himself to a meal, right? He won''t feel comfortable if he doesn''t invite you to eat! But these few times Lan Shu has not been in the capital for a long time, and even if he came, he has never met her before. She really took the shares and became a shopkeeper, she trusted herself too much, didn''t she? ! She isn''t worried about making false accounts for her own benefit? But Qian Qing had to say that he did not dare to make false accounts from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because of Lan Shu''s trusting, even laissez-faire attitude towards him that gave him the idea that if he really made false accounts, he would have no conscience. So Qian Qing felt aggrieved. He was in charge of the workers in the factory every day, and he also had to sell wholesale to the outside world. He was as tired as a dog. Lan Shu had to treat himself to dinner! Opposite, although Lan Weicheng heard Qian Qing''s words, he pretended not to hear them and continued to check the Walkman. It wasn''t that he checked the goods meticulously, but that Qian Qing would say this every time he came to give away his Walkman. If the next sentence remains the same as before, Qian Qing will definitely ask his daughter when she will come to Kyoto, and then invite her to dinner. Sure enough, in the next second, Lan Weicheng heard what Qian Qing said. "Lao Lan, when will Miss Lan come to the capital? Is it the last few days? This time she comes, you must tell me!" Qian Qing didn''t want to miss it again. "I work so hard for her, she has to treat me to dinner!" Hearing Qian Qing''s words, Lan Weicheng was really speechless. He raised his head and looked at Qian Qing, "It''s just about having a meal. Where do you want to eat, I''ll invite you." "That can''t be done!" Qian Qing''s eyes widened, his expression quite resistant. "Am I the kind of person who owes a meal?" He really thinks that Lao Lan is not smart, and he is far behind his daughter~! "You don''t owe it, you still pay back..." Lan Weicheng couldn''t help but sigh. Although Qian Qing''s sales and management skills are unquestionable, but his mouth is too annoying! I have to talk to him for hours every time I make a delivery. He really didn''t want to listen, so he checked the Walkman seriously. Originally thought that Qian Qing couldn''t wait and left, but he was so verbose that he checked every Walkman by himself. Qian Qing: ¡­ So angry~! He felt that he couldn''t make sense with Lao Lan! was about to turn around and leave, but just as Qian Qing turned his head, he saw Lan Shu wearing a light purple shirt and a long white skirt appearing in the mall¡ª Qian Qing was able to see Lan Shu at a glance, not because of his good eyesight, but because Lan Shu''s figure, appearance, and dress are so eye-catching! It''s the feeling that when she stands in the crowd, others'' eyes will be attracted to her involuntarily. Of course, this attraction is not like, but literally attractive. Before, Qian Qing had said in front of Lan Weicheng several times that he wanted Lan Shu to treat him to dinner, but when he really saw Lan Shu, he immediately shut up! How can he say this by himself? So Qian Qing immediately turned around and pushed Lan Weicheng who lowered his head to check the Walkman, "Lao Lan, your eldest lady is back! Remember to ask her to treat me to dinner!" When Lan Weicheng heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked for his daughter with his eyes. When he saw his daughter, Lan Weicheng immediately left the counter and walked quickly towards his own family. As for Qian Qing who specifically reminded him about inviting him to dinner, Lan Weicheng completely ignored him. Qian Qing: ¡­ He just wants to have Lan Shu treat him to a meal. Is it so difficult? I feel so sad~! But when Lan Shu came over and saw Qian Qing was also at the counter, she glanced around and realized that Qian Qing was here to deliver the goods. It really surprised Lan Shu that Qian Qing, the manager of the Walkman processing factory, would personally deliver the goods. Now that they met each other, Lan Shu suggested, "Don''t go back to the western suburbs later, ask Lu Wei to come over, and let''s have dinner together tonight?" Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Qian Qing''s heart thumped! ¡¯ Jump! Before he mentioned it, Lan Shu was going to take the initiative to treat guests. Does she have some mind-reading skills and know her own thoughts? ? Even Lan Weicheng was a little surprised by this coincidental situation. But no matter what, Qian Qing finally got what he wanted. This made Qian Qing very happy, so he agreed! Then he called the processing factory and told Lu Wei the good news. After finishing everything, Qian Qing, who was always preparing for dinner at night, didn''t know that this was not a simple dinner date. Lan Shu felt that the Walkman factory had been developing for three months, and it was time for Qian Qing to report to her. As for the reason for calling Lu Wei, it was also because she wanted to find out, besides the Walkman with recording function, does Lu Wei have any other project plans in the future? (end of this chapter) Chapter 247: get ready Chapter 247 Preparation Preparation In the afternoon, Huaxia Shopping Center. Lan Shu and Qian Qing made an appointment for dinner in the evening, and when there was still time, she went around the cosmetics counter on the third floor. The business at the cosmetics counter is still booming, and the sales of both makeup products and skin care products have been stable. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Yanjuan first took care of the customer in front of her, and after the customer finished shopping, she called out to Lan Shu who was approaching the counter, "Little boss, you are here." Lan Shu nodded. She didn''t ask about the sales situation at the nearest counter immediately, but waited until all the nearby customers had finished shopping and left before she and Yanjuan got a general idea of ??the supply situation in the past half a month. "Some time ago, essential oil soaps were almost sold out, but recently all kinds of essential oil soaps have been replenished." Yanjuan said. "It is estimated that many customers saw that the essential oil soap sold well, and they were afraid that they would not be able to buy it in the future, so after the resumption of sales, the sales volume of essential oil soap was almost twice that of before!" Yanjuan speculated. The reason why Lan Shu came to the counter to check the situation first, instead of going to the production side, is because the counter can best reflect the supply and sales issues. After talking about this, Lan Shu asked Yanjuan by the way, "Our cosmetics counter is going to open a branch in the big shopping mall in Haicheng. Are you interested in being the supervisor there?" Yanjuan listened. Although she was very happy that the little boss trusted her so much, she didn''t reply immediately, but her expression became hesitant. "Little boss, I am very willing to go to Haicheng to be a supervisor, but my daughter will go to elementary school in the second half of the year, and I just found a good school for her..." When Lan Shu heard this, she really ignored this point. "It''s okay, I understand." After finishing speaking, Lan Shu looked sideways at the other two female tellers beside Yanjuan. They have been working at the cosmetics counter for more than two months, and they will have some time to prepare before the counter in Haicheng opens. If any of them want to work at the counter in Haicheng, although they can''t be directly in charge like Yanjuan, if they recruit people at the counter in the future, how can they be a foreman, or even go up to the top? opportunities for advancement. The two of them didn''t need Lan Shu to mention it at all, they had already seen the meaning of asking from the eyes of the little boss. "I would like to work at the new counter in Haicheng!" Xu Qi said. Xu Qi was the first teller selected by Yanjuan from more than 20 applicants. She is 20 years old, single, and a villager in the suburbs of Kyoto. Although Xu Qi is not very old, she is already very mature in dealing with things. She is pretty and has a sweet mouth. She shouted at the sisters and sisters of the female customers. During the two months at the cosmetics counter, her sales performance was better than that of another female shop assistant. Much higher. Yanjuan asked Xu Qi before if she thought about getting married, and said that she would introduce her to someone who is suitable. Ke Xu Qi made it clear that marrying someone else to serve the other''s family is not as good as being alone! Xu Qi only has money in her eyes, and she wants to make money, so she will not miss this opportunity to be promoted to the counter foreman, or even the counter manager of Haicheng Cosmetics. Lan Shu didn''t know much about Xu Qi, but she glanced at Yan Juan. From Yan Juan''s slight nodding, she probably had a preliminary impression of Xu Qi. Since someone volunteered, and he was a teller familiar with the products they sell, Lan Shu would naturally consider it. So she nodded, "Then get ready, the counter over there will be opened within a month or two." Xu Qi was very happy when she heard what the little boss said! She feels like she finally has a chance to venture outside. She will cherish this opportunity! ¡­ In the evening, the Jingdu Hotel, and Qian Qing''s long-awaited big shareholder treat to dinner, finally opened! At the dinner table, Lan Weicheng sat on top, with Lan Shu, Lu Wei, and Qian Qing on both sides. The four of them were the only ones here for dinner in the evening, and the reason why they didn''t call the other tellers at the counter was because Lan Shu wanted to talk about business. The dishes on the table are complete, eight dishes and two soups, quite rich. These dishes were all ordered by Qian Qing, and Lan Shu told him and Lu Wei to order casually, so Qian Qing ordered eight big meat dishes instead of Lu Wei! Originally there was no soup, but Lan Shu told me to add two soups. Qian Qing wasn''t because of Lan Shu''s treat, so it would be expensive to ''kill someone''. It''s that he and Lu Wei had a hard life in the past, and they were so greedy for meat. Now that they have the conditions, they are full of meat every day, and they are not interested in vegetables at all. That''s why he went out of the restaurant, and it was full of meat. Looking at the chicken, duck, fish, meat, and elbows on the table, Lan Shu felt a little tired. But she will be full after eating casually. Qian Qing can eat whatever he likes, and he can explain his work situation when he is full. So in the first half of the meal, everyone didn''t communicate much. After listening to Lan Weicheng and Qian Qing say a few polite words, the four of them started eating. It wasn''t until Lan Shu was full that she took out a small packet of paper from her pocket, took out one and wiped her mouth. Then she set her sights on Qian Qing, who was gnawing on his big elbow. Qian Qing, who was eating meat happily, suddenly felt that he was being targeted. He seems to have moved his eyes away from the elbow in the bowl in front of him, and when he raised his head, he met Lan Shu''s gaze! Qian Qing:? ? ? Lan Shu smiled slightly, she didn''t ink any ink, and went straight to the topic¡ª "What is the manufacturing quantity and shipping profit of the Walkman processing plant in the past three months?" When Qian Qing heard this question, his mouthful of food almost spewed out! Qian Qing:? ? ? Isn''t there dinner tonight? Why did you ask about the processing plant again? But if Lan Shu wants to ask, Qian Qing can''t just answer nothing. So he tried hard to swallow what was in his mouth, and was so choked that he almost rolled his eyes before he was finally able to reply. "There should be about 8,000 or 9,000 Walkmans manufactured by the processing factory, right? At the beginning, there were few people in the factory, and people were recruited later, so the speed was faster." "Basically all the shipments have gone out, and there are no more than four or five hundred units left in the warehouse." "I didn''t calculate the profit carefully, but I must have made a lot of money!" Listening to Qian Qing''s answer, Lan Shu frowned deeper every time she heard a sentence. Almost eight or nine thousand units? Less than four or five hundred left? Didn''t count carefully? Must have made a lot of money? There is no exact number! Lan Shu looked at Qian Qing, this man is good at business, but he really can''t settle accounts! Even Lu Wei beside him did not expect that his friend would give such an answer. Being ''surrounded'' by Lan Shu and Lu Wei''s questioning gazes, Qian Qing also understood that he had almost made a mistake. He immediately explained to himself, "I really calculated the accounts carefully at the beginning, but then the processing plant was too busy, with so many production and sales times every day, I didn''t remember it too carefully." "But don''t worry! Every worker in the factory will never get an extra dollar in salary every month! I always keep track of the quantity..." In the future, Qian Qing himself felt embarrassed to continue. (end of this chapter) Chapter 248: heart is bleeding Chapter 248 The heart is bleeding Those who can calculate the accounts will know how much the workers'' wages are paid. In Lan Shu''s view, Qian Qing''s accounting skills are simply a mess! "The processing plant needs to recruit a finance manager." Lu Wei suggested from the side. Before this, if Lan Shu hadn''t asked, he really didn''t know. "Finance needs to be recruited." Lan Shu nodded, "Professional matters should be left to professional people." Qian Qing knew that he was not good at settling accounts, so he had no objection to what Lu Wei and Lan Shu said. He echoed, "Okay." Then he continued to eat with his head down heartlessly. But what Lan Shu wanted to say was not over yet. She turned to Lu Wei and asked, "After the Walkman, do you have any other projects? If so, we can consider continuing to cooperate." Actually, Lan Shu doesn¡¯t need to mention this sentence at all. The reason why Lu Wei accepted her investment in the past was because he had no money. But now, with the profit from the Walkman, it is enough to support him to continue the research and development of other projects. But at this time, Lan Shu took the initiative to propose, obviously because she wanted to get a share of the pie. Hearing what Lan Shu said, Qian Qing couldn''t bear it before Lu Wei opened his mouth! He swallowed hard the meat that had just entered his mouth, and this time he almost choked to death! He ¡®Gudu~gudu~¡¯ drank water, so he could speak. Qian Qing immediately said, "We don''t cooperate anymore!" "Oh?" Lan Shu questioned this answer. Then she only looked at Lu Wei and said, "If you don''t have a project for the next step, then I have a project that I want to cooperate with you." "What project?" Lu Wei always listened carefully to what Miss Lan said. Because what she said, there is no nonsense. Lan Shu didn''t hide it, she sorted out her thoughts a little bit, and then said. "A magnetic tape is a container for storing audio, and a Walkman is a tool for playing this container. Since sound can be stored, what about images?" She just opened her head, and saw Lu Wei frowning instantly! Qian Qing on the side also stared wide-eyed, with an incredible expression on his face! "You, did you lie quietly outside our window at night, eavesdropping on our conversation?" These words were purely Qian Qing''s subconscious thoughts. After he blurted out the words, he also thought that it was absolutely impossible! Although Qian Qing and Lu Wei are well-off now, they still live in the same place, in the same room, with bunk beds. Lan Shu didn''t know where they lived, and she wasn''t the kind of person who would listen to the corner at night, so Qian Qing was confused, and he didn''t know how Lan Shu knew about the concept idea Lu Wei put forward half a month ago. . Seeing the reactions of Lu Wei and Qian Qing, Lan Shu knew that her temptation had paid off~! So she continued, "For a long time, the images played on the TV have relied on the video tape played by the TV station, and the audience can see the content through signal transmission." ¡°But the cost of videotapes is too high for ordinary people to touch. Even if there are, projectors are not affordable for everyone.¡± Today''s projectors only exist in TV stations and movie theaters, and you can''t see them anywhere else. "According to my understanding, there are CDs in foreign countries that can store information, and CDs are things that have the opportunity to record images. I have some ideas about how to record images on CDs and how to play them after the CDs are burned. " Having said that, Lan Shu didn''t continue. She didn''t know what step Lu Wei and Qian Qing had taken in the project they were envisioning now, so her exploration only ended here. Next, if Lu Wei needs his own ''ideas'', he will take the initiative to propose them. Compared to Lu Wei''s groaning, Qian Qing''s surprise, Lan Weicheng''s understanding of what his daughter said was half-understood. Because he didn''t understand, he simply stopped listening. So among the four people at the dinner table, only Lan Weicheng was left to eat and drink alone. By the way, he watched his daughter stunned Lu Wei and Qian Qing. Lan Shu guessed right, Qian Qing really needs her ''ideas''. If her words were mentioned half a year later, it would be useless. However, today''s Lu Wei still has a lot of uncertainties about the direction of his thinking. He has trapped his thinking in a "dead end", and urgently needs someone to pull him out of the "alley". So after Lu Wei was silent for a few minutes, he looked at Lan Shu and said seriously, "Tell me about your conditions." Hearing this sentence, Lan Shu immediately laughed. "Of course I hope to cooperate~!" She replied. At this moment, in Qian Qing''s eyes, her smile can no longer be described as clever, she is simply a fox who has become a spirit~! That smile, and the appearance of succeeding in trickery, made Qian Qing afraid! Because Qian Qing knew that he and Lu Wei might be tricked by Lan Shu again, and he was willing to make money for her... Qian Qing''s guess was right, so Lan Shu finally invited Lan Shu to treat the dinner that he had been thinking about so much, but the little money she spent on the treat was not enough for the next project to earn a small amount of money from him and Lu Wei! So Qian Qing was happy in the first half, but later on he didn''t feel like eating at all. Listening to Lan Shu and Lu Wei''s exchange, only he lost his appetite and fidgeted. When the dinner was over, Qian Qing came to a conclusion. Some people really dare not calculate, some rice, really can''t eat too much~! "Then we''ll see you at the factory in three days." Lu Wei said to Lan Shu. "Okay, happy cooperation." Lan Shu smiled and shook hands with Lu Wei politely. Qian Qing: ¡­ Heart! exist! drop! Blood! ¡­ For the next three days, Lan Shu went to the TV station to report every day. The work of the program director system, she agreed, and she will do it well. With the previous two cooperations, the aerobics actors still cooperated tacitly this time. The recording that normally took three days to complete was completed in two days this time! The recording ended, and one more thing was brought up. Originally, there were only three aerobics actors recruited by the TV station. Lan Shu said before that the four aerobics actors, apart from actor Jiang Min and Li Xiaoyu who had the best qualifications, Tao Ying and the youngest Sun Sisi After the internship period, one will leave. Now that the two-month internship period has come, it is time to decide who will leave. In the past two months, Tao Ying has changed the most. She was originally slightly fat, but after two months of fitness exercises, her figure is already very well-proportioned. A Tao Ying like this can very well set an example for the audience who follow and learn aerobics in front of the TV. Although Sun Sisi was young, only sixteen years old, she worked very hard and did not relax her requirements just because she was young. Lan Shu can see her ability in these few aerobics recordings. And the young faces also have certain guidance for the audience. For example, the same young girls, seeing such a young girl doing aerobics on TV, they may also follow suit. So it is a bit difficult for Lan Shu to choose between Tao Ying and Sun Sisi... (end of this chapter) Chapter 249: encounter new items Chapter 249 Encountered a new item Both of them are good, and they both really love aerobics and cherish this job. So after Lan Shu thought about it, she decided to talk to the deputy director. The reason why Lan Shu went to talk was not acting blindly. The morning show is as popular as it is now, and she does have a certain amount of confidence as the producer of the show. She can mention whether an aerobics actor can be added to the show. So she asked Tao Ying and Sun Sisi to go back to listen to the announcement, and the next morning, she came to the TV station again. The TV station has a regular meeting every Friday. Lan Shu came earlier, and the regular meeting hasn''t started yet. When she found Deputy Director Zhu through Cui Nian, Deputy Director Zhu was already preparing to go to the meeting room. Seeing Lan Shu coming to Taili, it was so coincidental, so she asked Lan Shu to go to the regular meeting together. The audience of the morning show has indeed exceeded expectations, so Lan Shu, as the producer of this show, is also eligible to participate in the meeting in the station. Originally, Lan Shu was not interested in the TV station''s meeting, but because she needed help from others, she followed Deputy Director Zhu into the meeting room together. The conference room is on the second floor of the two-story TV station building. The entire conference room is about 70 to 80 square meters. There is a long conference table in the middle and chairs on both sides. It is expected that there will be more than 20 people attending the meeting this time. In addition to some leading groups of the TV station, there are also several leaders from the Propaganda Department above. They participated in the meeting mainly to listen to the recent external publicity broadcast on the TV station. In this meeting, in addition to the Propaganda Department, two leaders from the Culture Department also came. It is said that there is an important announcement. Lan Shu sat next to Cui Nian and listened to Cui Nian whispering to herself about the participants and the situation of the meeting today before the meeting officially started, so that her eyes would not turn dark when the time came. Do not know at all. At 8:40, the meeting officially begins¡ª Sure enough, as Cui Nian said, both the Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Culture came to lead. First of all, it is the TV station. I wish the deputy director to report the recent work content of the station to the leader of the Propaganda Department. When talking about the morning aerobics program, Deputy Director Zhu specifically looked at Lan Shu, and then introduced to the three leaders of the Propaganda Department, "That is the director of our morning program, Comrade Lan Shu." Hearing that she was ordered, Lan Shu immediately got up from her seat and bowed politely to several leaders. "The morning show is a good idea, and its appearance is very meaningful." The leader of the Propaganda Department commented. If someone else was praised by the leader above, he would definitely be excited and at a loss! But Lan Shu was very calm. She nodded calmly and said, "Thank you." Then sit back in your seat. Seeing that she is so young, she can show such a calm, neither humble nor overbearing attitude, which made several leaders of the Propaganda Department have a good first impression of her. The meeting continued. After Deputy Director Zhu reported the work situation in the station, several leaders of the Propaganda Department said a few words of praise in turn, and then mentioned the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture who came to the TV station today to participate in this regular meeting. "We are here this time with a project, and we hope to get the support of Taili, and we will complete it together." The representative leader of the Ministry of Culture said. "What project?" This time Director Zhu didn¡¯t answer, but the director of the TV station who sat above her¡ªDirector Shang asked. ¡°We want to shoot a feature-length TV series. The script has almost been written, and the next step is to recruit actors and shoot.¡± "Because of the limited funds, we can''t pay too much for the shooting, so this time we come to the TV station, we want to win the shooting support from the TV station in advance before recruiting actors." At the meeting, the director and deputy director of the TV station learned the purpose of the visit from the Ministry of Culture, and they immediately took it seriously. It is no small matter to make a long-form TV series, and the investment is definitely not comparable to that of a movie! But if the TV series can be broadcast on the station after it is filmed, then it will be their performance and reputation on the station. Lan Shu was sitting at the end of the long table in the conference room, listening to the conversations among the leaders. She didn''t expect that she would be able to hear about the filming of a TV series just to make up for a meeting! Today''s TV series are not like later generations, where thirty or forty episodes can be filmed in four or five months. Now let alone thirty or forty-episode TV series, filming a twenty-episode TV series can last for several years! Such a slow progress is not only due to technical reasons, but also it is quite time-consuming to travel around to collect scenes. But the most important thing is that the money is not in place. Maybe halfway through the filming of a drama, it will temporarily stop due to various reasons such as lack of money to pay the actors, lack of money to make props, etc., and continue filming after raising money. Therefore, there has not been any TV series released in China¡ª At this meeting, if the project mentioned by the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture can be carried forward, when the TV series is filmed, it will definitely explode in today''s environment where film and television resources are scarce! The meeting was still going on, and the leaders of the TV station and the leaders of the Ministry of Culture communicated seriously with each other. Their TV station can send a videographer to join the shooting project of the TV series, and can also provide part of the film needed for shooting. But the amount of film needed to shoot a TV series is absolutely amazing! Their TV station is a state-owned unit, and has always only cared about the wages of the employees. The reason why it is said that it can provide part of the film needed for shooting is also because in the past two months or so, the TV station has accumulated a few thousand dollars because of the profit from advertising. But no matter how many they are, they really can¡¯t support it... Speaking of this, the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture know that the TV station has done its best. They didn''t expect the TV station to completely solve their filming problems. They wanted to make a TV series. They had anticipated the difficulties a long time ago, and now they are raising money and support everywhere. During the meeting, when it came to video recording, the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture asked the videographer who recorded the morning show, and hoped that the videographer could participate in the TV series shooting. " Seeing that they came prepared, I hope the deputy director understands what the two of you mean. They are obviously interested in the recording technique of the videographer. But those techniques are not entirely the ability of videographers. At this time, Deputy Director Zhu had no choice but to speak clearly. "In addition to being a professional videographer for our morning show, many angle adjustments, camera switching, background construction, and matching music are all ideas produced by Comrade Lan Shu, the program director." This sentence immediately made the two people in the Ministry of Culture look sideways in Lan Shu''s direction¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 250: interested in investing Chapter 250 Interested in investing "Then...can Producer Lan join our TV drama shooting?" asked a short head of the Ministry of Culture with glasses. Regarding this invitation, before Lan Shu could speak, Deputy Director Zhu already showed a embarrassed expression. "Comrade Lan Shu in our station is in a special situation, she may not have much time to participate..." The deputy director Zhu took the initiative to say this, and it was also to help Lan Shu to excuse, so that Lan Shu would not refuse. Hearing this result, the two people from the Ministry of Culture felt slightly regretful, but they did not give up on extending the invitation to Lan Shu because of this. "Producer Lan, I hope you can think about this matter carefully." Facing the hopeful eyes of the two, Lan Shu really couldn''t refuse. She understands the significance of a TV series in this era! That is something that many people have spent their hard work and painstaking efforts to accomplish! The other party was eager for talent, so as the leader, he put down his arrogance and asked a young girl like himself to join. Lan Shu really doesn''t have time to join the filming of TV series. But beyond that, she can give other support. "What type of TV series are you going to shoot? How many episodes are you going to shoot? How much will the cost be? If you have sufficient funds, how long will it take to complete?" Lan Shu asked suddenly. A young girl who was originally an observer at the meeting suddenly asked this sentence in a meeting full of leaders, which really surprised those who didn''t know her details. In the audience, only Deputy Director Zhu and Cui Nian seemed to think of something after hearing Lan Shu''s words¡ª Zhu deputy director slightly serious, Cui Nian sat up straight unconsciously. When asked, the two from the Ministry of Culture did not hide much. They thought that the young blue producer of the TV station was interested in filming their TV series, so they asked so carefully. Therefore, Yuan Lou, a propaganda committee member of the Ministry of Culture wearing glasses, replied, "What we are going to shoot is a mythological drama, and we plan to shoot more than twelve episodes. If the actors are in place, the camera is no problem, and the costumes and props can be completed quickly, it is expected to be completed before the end of this year. We can start filming and finish filming by the end of next year." "As for the cost, the budget for actors, props, and sets is about 30,000 yuan, and the film used for shooting will consume more. Even if it is saved, it is estimated to be at least 17,800 yuan or more." That is to say, a twelve-episode TV series needs to be filmed for one year. This speed is really slow. But the hardware conditions in all aspects are in place. If you want to make something, you need to craft it carefully and work slowly to produce a good work. So Lan Shu can also understand this. As for the price, 50,000 yuan for a TV series is quite cheap. I think it¡¯s also because there is no such thing as a celebrity now, and the wages paid by actors are probably not much higher than those of workers working in factories, so the cost is relatively low. On the contrary, it is the props and scenery in the shooting, which may account for the most money. On the opposite side, seeing the producer Lan of the TV station who heard what he said, he was lost in thought, and Yuan Lou immediately asked, "Will the producer Lan join us in one year?" Hearing this question, Lan Shu shook her head without hesitation. And her actions made Yuan Lou and his colleagues sigh helplessly. One year is indeed a long time, and it is understandable that the other party cannot accept it. It''s just a pity, maybe with the addition of Producer Lan, the effect of their TV series may be better! While the two were feeling sorry for each other, Lan Shu''s voice suddenly sounded¡ª "Actually, I''m not a professional in shooting. You can find professional people to do professional things. I''m just very interested in your TV drama project." Lan Shu said. "Interested?" Yuan Lou was stunned, wondering if it was his illusion, he heard from the young girl not far away that the other party had something to say? "Yes, I am very interested, so I have an investment idea. I will provide the filming funds you need, and I will take a certain percentage of dividends for the future profits of the filmed TV series." Lan Shu said. "Investment? Dividends?" Beside Yuan Lou, Qiao Yong from the Ministry of Culture was startled. "Little girl, it costs tens of thousands of dollars to shoot a TV series! Don''t make jokes like this!" Qiao Yong looked at Lan Shu with the look in his eyes. He had hoped for her to join him before, but now, he has completely lost it. expect. And he couldn''t listen to the words of the TV station''s too young blue supervisor. Who would spend tens of thousands of dollars on the shooting of a TV series? Only those who are sincere in this industry will continue to do this regardless of gains or losses¡ª Lan Shu knew that they would not trust her easily, so she looked at Deputy Director Zhu. At critical moments, there must be witnesses. "I wish the deputy director, otherwise I will work hard for you to be a middleman and listen to my investment ideas together?" Hearing the little girl mention the deputy director of the TV station, Yuan Lou and Qiao Yong were taken aback by the Ministry of Culture. They looked at Deputy Director Zhu with surprised expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to ask the question from the Deputy Director. The program producer in their station is really rich? Have money to the point where tens of thousands of dollars are squandered at will? Of course Lan Shu is rich, but she doesn''t want to squander it casually. The investment she mentioned is for the purpose of making money! Deputy director Zhu heard Lan Shu''s words and understood that Lan Shu wanted to be her guarantor, so she nodded and answered the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture. "Let''s listen to Comrade Lan Shu''s words together." Deputy director Zhu''s words undoubtedly confirmed that Lan Shu could have the financial resources to invest. In the past two months, many people in the station know that the blue supervisor of the morning show works very short hours in the factory, only a few days a month. But people have done a good job, so they can''t gossip. But now at the meeting site, the leaders of the TV station, large and small, discovered that the producer Lan is not only competent at work, but also may be a rich millionaire in private? No, judging from the current situation, households with 10,000 yuan are underestimating others, and the other party¡¯s money is estimated to be more than 100,000! Otherwise, why would you plan to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make a TV series? So in a short period of time, all eyes in the entire meeting room fell on Lan Shu¡ª Lan Shu continued speaking after seeing this. "50,000, I can give all of it, or part of it according to your situation and your wishes. This is negotiable." "Among them, I will first take out 10,000 yuan as the investment promotion for this TV drama project, that is, at the beginning and end of the TV drama''s opening and ending, I will spare dozens of seconds for advertisements." An advertising fee of 10,000 yuan, in the eyes of a layman, is definitely a prodigal behavior that the other party has money and no place to spend! But in fact, only Lan Shu, who is in business, understands that the advertising fee is directly proportional to the return. Like a TV series, once it becomes popular, the income will be unimaginable! (end of this chapter) Chapter 251: rich Chapter 251 Rich The project that Lan Shu takes a fancy to must be sure to make money without losing money! After the TV series is filmed and produced, if it is to be broadcast on TV stations, then the advertisements bundled with the TV series must be broadcast together! The TV station will not charge additional advertising fees for the broadcast of TV dramas. In this way, one investment in advertising can be used once and for all in the future. After ten years of popular TV series, commercials will be played for ten years! So now it seems that 10,000 yuan is a lot of advertising and investment investment, but in the long run, it is definitely a good deal! "In addition to the 10,000 advertising fee, how much do you want for the remaining 40,000 yuan?" Lan Shu asked the two leaders from the cultural department. Seeing that the two looked hesitant, as if they were in doubt, Lan Shu continued. "If you want all 40,000 yuan, then as an investor in this TV series, I hope to get 40% of the follow-up profits of this TV series in the future." "In addition to the investment in this drama, if you want to keep improving the costumes, props and filming process, I can increase the investment amount. I can give up to 60,000 investment in addition to the advertising fee." I heard that Lan Shu can also increase investment, so that they don''t have to worry about it during the filming process, and a penny can be broken into several petals. Such a good thing made the two of them startled! But there must be a price for adding money. In the next second, they heard Lan Shu say, "If you invest more, the profit share should be shifted to my side appropriately. If you invest 50,000, it will be 45%, if you invest 60,000, it will be 50%." .¡± Lan Shu directly expressed her thoughts. As for the choice, they can discuss it slowly. At the meeting, everyone heard the young girl from the TV station say that she can spend 60,000 yuan to invest in TV dramas, and there is another 10,000 yuan in advertising fees! This kind of extravagant behavior, even Deputy Director Zhu was really overwhelmed by Lan Shu''s financial resources! Is the little girl so rich? Although she knew that Lan Shu was the director of the toilet paper factory, Deputy Director Zhu never thought that Lan Shu could easily spend tens of thousands of dollars¡ª With so much money, she is willing to come to their TV station as a program producer, and get a salary of 40 yuan a month? Deputy Director Zhu used to think that Lan Shu was attracted to work here because of the good treatment offered by their TV station. They could earn thirty or forty yuan by working three or four days a month. But now, with a clear understanding of Lan Shu''s financial situation, Deputy Director Zhu suddenly discovered that the little girl didn''t come to their TV station to be the director of the morning program for money at all! Could it be that at the beginning she agreed because she, the vice-director, personally invited her, that it was not easy to refuse, and she was willing to save face? This changed Deputy Director Zhu''s impression of Lan Shu again. Let her have a little more intimacy with this capable and wealthy little girl. In the meeting room, everyone was surprised for a few seconds, then Qiao Yong asked tentatively at the Ministry of Culture, "Are you really willing to spend so much money to invest in TV dramas?" "Of course." Lan Shu replied calmly. She looked at the person who asked the question, and said softly, "I still trust the project that is so valued by the leaders of the cultural department and personally led." "However, before making an official investment, I need to read a part of the script." Lan Shu made a request. With an investment of tens of thousands of dollars in a TV drama, if the script is too bad, even if the TV drama market is blank now, as long as it is filmed, people will watch it, and it is completely uncompetitive. But she couldn''t bear to see what she invested in. "Of course." On the side of the Ministry of Culture, Yuan Lou said directly, "As long as you are sure that you can spend so much money, the script will definitely be shown to you." They want to shoot TV series, the most they need is money. Now that the money problem can be solved, other conditions can be agreed as long as they are reasonable. So at the end of the meeting, Lan Shu signed a preliminary letter of intent for cooperation with the two leaders of the Ministry of Culture in front of the two directors of the TV station. Follow-up, when the TV station goes to work on Monday, the other party will come with the screenwriter and the main person in charge of the TV series to communicate the details of the investment. The meeting is over and it is already noon. The two leaders of the Ministry of Culture even wanted to treat Lan Shu to a meal, thanking her for solving their urgent needs. Lan Shu didn''t refuse, and let the other party arrange the dinner. She knew that the reason for the treat was that she wanted to chat more at the dinner table and learn more about herself from herself. See if you really have the strength to invest. So Lan Shu''s acceptance at this time is also to reassure the other party. In addition to inviting Lan Shu to this dinner, the two directors of the TV station and the three members of the propaganda department who just participated in the meeting were naturally invited. The three leaders of the Propaganda Department were curious about the details of this little girl, Lan Shu, so they came here. As for the two directors of the TV station, they naturally did not dare to be absent when accompanying the leaders to eat. As for treating guests to dinner, how dare they ask the leader to treat them to dinner? The deputy director Zhu immediately explained to Cui Nian and asked Cui Nian to arrange a place for dinner later. Besides, Lan Shu saw that the dinner party was getting more and more people, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger. Although she is not afraid of society, she really thinks there are too many people~! But at this time, who will go and who will not, it doesn''t matter what she says, and she can only listen to the arrangements of the leaders. Cui Nian was very efficient in handling affairs, and booked a private room at a restaurant near the TV station with just one phone call. The next step is for everyone to pass together. When a group of people went downstairs, some people pushed up the bicycles parked downstairs, and some people planned to walk there, Lan Shu walked out of the gate of the TV station and walked towards a black Santana car parked not far from the gate¡ª While walking, she also said to the leaders beside her who planned to walk to the restaurant, "Who wants to come with me? There are three seats in the car." Originally, Yuan Lou and Qiao Yong from the Ministry of Culture were not sure about Lan Shu''s financial situation. But seeing her standing next to a brand new black car, she opened the door naturally and asked who would get in the car with her, not only Yuan Lou and Qiao Yong, but everyone present gave up on Lan Shu''s financial resources. Doubt of the situation! As far as her car is concerned, it costs tens of thousands to buy it, right? ! It''s only tens of thousands of dollars invested in the TV series, she must be able to spend it! Such a good car, with the opportunity to ride, of course everyone wants to get in the car. Although the TV station has a car, it is for public use. Every time it leaves the gate, it needs to make records and report to the higher authorities. Therefore, the two directors commute to and from get off work by bicycle every day when they go out. (end of this chapter) Chapter 252: Chapter 252 As for the Ministry of Culture, because it is not a very important department as a whole, it doesn''t even have a car. This time Yuan Lou and Qiao Yong came to the TV station for a meeting, and they both came by bicycle. They used to think that it was a good condition to have a bicycle at home and ride to work. But how could they have imagined that a TV station''s morning show producer, a young girl who is estimated to be under 20 years old, would come to work in a luxury car! The last ones who got on the bus with Lan Shu were Yuan Lou, Qiao Yong from the Ministry of Culture, and Shang Zhengping, the director of the TV station. Lan Shu sat in the co-pilot, and the three of them sat in the back seat of the car. The driver, Master Zhang, drove them and delivered them smoothly. When getting out of the car, Director Shang Zhengping was still a little unsatisfied with the ride, "Is this the new model of Santana this year? It really is not ordinary to sit on." Taiwan Shang still pays attention to cars on weekdays. Lan Shu heard this, nodded slightly, and replied, "Yes." Although she didn''t know about it, when she ordered the car, she told Secretary Tang to order the latest model. Anyway, the money has already been spent, so it can be done in one step. Hearing Lan Shu''s answer, Director Shang immediately showed an envious expression. He once again sighed in his heart, such a rich little girl is actually an employee in their station... ¡­ The meal at noon was originally intended to be a test, but after seeing Lan Shu''s car, everyone at the meal was only happy. Especially Yuan Lou and Qiao Yong from the cultural department solved the major issue of raising funds for the TV series, and the big stone in their hearts was finally let go. After dinner, outside the restaurant, Lan Shu was just polite, saying to send some people back to the TV station. Originally thought that the distance was less than one mile, and the few people walked back, but she found that many of these leaders were very interested in taking a car. Finally, Lan Shu had no choice but to ask Master Zhang to make two extra trips to send everyone back to the TV station. As for the increase in the number of actors in the morning show aerobics, Lan Shu talked about it when she took the bus with Vice Director Zhu for the last time. "The morning show is very good. I have watched it many times. The four aerobics performers work together very well, so I agree to your proposal." Deputy Director Zhu said. In fact, the original normal procedure for this matter was to bring it up at a regular meeting, and then everyone discussed it to reach a result. But right now, aside from the fact that morning shows are doing really well, there are a lot of viewers. Again, Lan Shu''s proposal of investing in TV dramas at the meeting this time not only helped the Ministry of Culture a lot, but also helped the TV station, so that the TV station will have dramas to broadcast in the future. So under the two things, I wish the deputy director to be my own master and agree. She also believes that the matter of adding an aerobics actor can be passed even if it is discussed at a regular meeting. "Thank you, Deputy Director." Lan Shu sincerely thanked. "You''re welcome, we are all working for the development of the station." Zhu Hong, deputy director of the station, replied with a smile. "By the way, my name is Zhu Hong, you can call me Sister Hong." Zhu Hong said to Lan Shu. Hearing Deputy Director Zhu''s words, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback. She didn''t expect that she would be promoted by the deputy director of the TV station in this way. This claim is a proof of the closer relationship between the two parties. But since the other party opened the mouth, Lan Shu would not refuse flattery. She smiled and called out, "Sister Hong." "Okay." Zhu Hong also smiled, "From then on, I will call you Sister Lanshu." ¡­ On the other side, Qingyang County. In summer, the temperature rises, the sun is scorching, and the air is full of scalding wind. During the days when Lan Shu left the county, Xiao Bai was not idle either. He wandered around the streets and alleys of the county every day. While thoroughly familiarizing himself with Qingyang County, he also heard from many people about the situation of some famous rogues in the county. Xiaobai didn''t know how he found the gangsters who murdered him in the dream, but after experiencing the dream, he clearly ''saw'' the appearance of the people who harmed him in the dream. According to his dream memory, plus his current understanding of those local ruffians in the county, as long as he can match the numbers, the only thing left is to find them¡ª Friday night, street stalls. Three shirtless youths are eating meat and drinking. "The meat brought by the sixth son is really delicious! One bite, haha~ I almost bit off my tongue!" said the bald young man with a slightly round figure. Aside, the thin, long-haired young man who was eating meat at the table with him replied, "Of course! They say one is black, two is white, three is flowered and four is yellow. Hehe, I''m just looking for it. It''s the black dog who was looking for it!" Speaking of the black dog, the skinny young man with messy hair couldn''t help bragging, "You don''t know, in order to get the black dog over, I squatted for three full days, and only when the owner of the dog was no one at home, I turned over. Enter the wall and kill the dog~!" "In order to eat meat, I was bitten by that dead dog! But I also took revenge. When I was slaughtering, I didn''t directly kill the dog with a knife. I stabbed a few more times and waited for the dog to bleed to death. Yes! Haha~¡± "Sixth, if you mess around like this, the yard is full of blood, right? Don''t you want to scare the owner of the dog back?" A short, buck-toothed man next to the bald man said. The young man named Lao Liu didn''t think so, but laughed, "Hahaha~ It''s a pity I didn''t see the other party crying in fright, otherwise it would be interesting~" Several people had enough to eat and drink, and they didn''t leave until around ten o''clock. No one noticed that after they separated, in the dark, a tall young man in a blue shirt and black pants watched the three of them silently. After a while, the young man stared at the direction where Lao Liu left, and followed quietly... Half an hour later, in a remote alley in Qingyang County, a muffled "Uh~!" resounded, and the "Old Six" who smelled like alcohol was put on the ground with a sack on his head! This night, Xiaobai got a lot of news from ''Lao Six''. Although the other party didn¡¯t intend to confess at the beginning, in the end he couldn¡¯t stand the beating, and he resorted to everything¡ª Although the news did not clearly appear who was behind the scenes who instructed them to harm others. But the sixth said, ¡®Although the other party speaks with a capital accent, he also has a county accent. I can¡¯t hear you wrong! '' After hearing the news from the ''old six'', Xiaobai finally confirmed what happened in the dream. Sure enough, as in the dream, was Gu Cheng instigated? Only Gu Cheng, who lived in Qingyang County when he was a child, can have the accent of Kyoto, the accent of the county... ¡­ At this time, Gu Cheng, who was in the capital, suddenly woke up from his sleep! He had a dream, dreaming of his younger brother Gu Jue¡ª What happened in the dream, after Gu Cheng woke up, he couldn''t remember it anymore. But in his heart, he instinctively felt that it was a nightmare! (end of this chapter) Chapter 253: Li Jiaojiao Chapter 253 Li Jiaojiao Kyoto, weekend. Lan Shu originally planned to go to Chen Ping and Zhou Di to see the development of cosmetics. But it happened that the weekend was off, so she had to change her plan and planned to live a salted fish life at home for two days. But she never thought that her salty fish life was only one morning. During lunch, Lan Shu received a call from her father, Lan Weicheng, saying that there was a dinner party in the business district of Kyoto at night, and she was asked to go there with her. In Kyoto, business development is definitely leading the country, so the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce was established last year, and Lan Weicheng is a member of the chamber of commerce. A group of businessmen who are not short of money get together, and they can always change their tricks to create something that ordinary people can''t see. For example, regular receptions, who holds banquets, etc. Lan Weicheng''s business is not big, and he is the mainstay in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, so he is not qualified to attend many banquets. It is also the twice-yearly conference of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, and he can receive invitations. These two conferences are the mid-year conference and the year-end conference. This mid-year meeting will start in the afternoon, and members will attend if there is no accident. In the evening, there will be a dinner party. During the dinner, members of the chamber of commerce can bring two family members to participate. During the mid-year dinner last year, Xu Shan and Lan Xinya followed Lan Weicheng to the dinner. Lan Xinya is quite comfortable at the dinner party, and will soon be able to communicate with the ladies from other families. But Xu Shan didn''t like that kind of occasion very much. A group of wealthy wives gathered together, talking about dressing and the excellence of their children. This one plans to let their daughter study abroad, and that one will let their son inherit the property in the future. Someone asked Xu Shan, "Is your family''s business big? How much money does your husband give each month?" Xu Shan is not a woman who relies on men for food, and she never asks her men for money. It is Lan Weicheng who takes the initiative to pay for the house every month. Even if Lan Weicheng doesn''t pay, she still has a job, so she can take care of the food and clothing of the family of three. So when those rich wives saw her speechless, they thought she was a low-status woman at home, who usually had no money to spend, and lived by the faces of men, and they despised her endlessly. Xu Shan felt that she was not on the same side as those people, and there was no need to explain, so the dinner gave her a bad sensory impression! Afterwards, there will be another dinner party, and Xu Shan will no longer attend, and Lan Xinya will follow. The situation this time is the same as before, Xu Shan will not attend the dinner party. And Lan Weicheng wanted to take his Shu Shu to participate in the activities of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, and the next step is to let Shu Shu also enter the Chamber of Commerce and become a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Lan Shu didn''t know anything about Lan Weicheng''s thoughts, she just thought that Lan Weicheng wanted to show her to the world. It''s okay to be idle anyway, so she agreed. After writing down the location and start time of the dinner, Lan Shu asked Aunt Man to call her at three o''clock, while she took a nap first to recharge her spirits. After getting up in the afternoon, Lan Shu started skin care, choosing clothes, and matching the appropriate makeup according to the clothes. For skin care, Lan Shu is not just a simple water cream. She first washed her face with goat milk soap, then patted the water, and then applied a hot towel to her face. After the pores are opened, she mixes a part of the water and milk and applies it thickly as a mask for ten minutes, then washes off with water, and then pats on the water and milk. This set of skin care has made her already pink and delicate skin softer, more hydrated, and her natural and flawless skin is more perfect than any base makeup! So the skin care is over, and when it comes to the makeup part, she just shaved her eyebrows, slightly wore eye shadow, and painted red lips according to her rather textured black long dress with a classic style and a waist. Originally, she needed some jewelry to match the whole look, but Lan Shu found that she didn''t have any jewelry, and the only thing she usually carried with her was a watch. So she thought about it for a moment, and she could only remove a black ribbon from another outfit, and tied a bow on her slender and fair side neck as a decoration. Fortunately, she still has the bag. Before when she went to Yuyuan''s store to pick out clothes, it happened that Yuyuan also had a shop selling leather bags and belts, so she picked up a few bags and sent them together. So before going out, Lan Shu chose a delicate wine-red leather bag, which could fit her big brother. ¡­ At seven o''clock in the evening, in the No. 1 banquet hall on the third floor of the Kyoto Hotel, in a banquet hall of seven to eight hundred square meters, celebrities from all over the capital''s business circles gathered. Downstairs, twenty or thirty cars parked almost all the places on both sides of the hotel, so many cars lined up together, such a scene is not common even in Kyoto! Lan Weicheng already had a meeting on the second floor in the afternoon, and in the evening, he can go directly to the banquet hall on the third floor, so Lan Shu came by himself. Master Zhang parked the car in front of the restaurant, and when Lan Shu got out of the car, the car drove away slowly and stopped nearby to wait. Because she came by car, the family members of wealthy businessmen who arrived at the hotel around the same time as Lan Shu were very impressed with her. In addition, she is beautiful, and the clothes she wears are also beautiful. Before she reached the banquet hall on the third floor, there was already a girl wearing a milky white western-style court-style dress, curly hair, and a pearl necklace on her neck. Son took the initiative to say hello to her. "Hello, I see that your skirt is very beautiful, and the neckband is also very special, can I get to know you?" Lan Shu followed the voice and looked at the girl. The girl was not very old, about twenty, with a small face, delicate features, and a great temperament. At first glance, she looked like a well-bred lady. Although she didn''t know the other party, Lan Shu had a good impression of her when she saw the girl looking at her kindly. So she nodded and replied, "Of course, my name is Lan Shu." "Hello Lan Shu, my name is Li Jiaojiao." Li Jiaojiao said with a smile. Like Lan Shu, Li Jiaojiao came alone, so the two went up to the third floor together, and walked into the banquet hall after signing in. The two of them were dressed in black and the other in white. They were both beautiful. One was bright and the other was handsome. For a while, some people at the banquet couldn''t help but inquired about the identities of the two of them. Which chamber member''s family member were they? Where there are many people, the flow of news is also fast. Soon, Lan Shu heard someone whispering in the crowd, "That seems to be the youngest daughter of the Li family. She just came back from abroad and it''s her first time attending a banquet at the chamber of commerce, so you don''t recognize her." "Yes! I remembered. Before the youngest daughter of the Li family went abroad, my husband and I visited her home. We met twice. I can still see the outline of her face when she was a child." "It turned out to be a child of the Li family, no wonder he has such a temperament!" "Yes, the Li family is different from those nouveau riche who later developed a prosperous business. Their ancestors have accumulated financial resources, and there are still people above them. When they were broken down and old, they were not affected much. They are rich~!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 254: Not a village girl? Chapter 254 Not a village girl? Hearing these discussions, Lan Shu couldn''t help looking at Li Jiaojiao. Seeing Li Jiaojiao''s full smile, she was completely unaffected by the surrounding discussions, but looked towards her with a pair of clear eyes in a friendly manner. This really puzzled Lan Shu! A girl like Li Jiaojiao definitely has no shortage of friends around her. But why did she take the initiative to find herself and want to make friends with herself? Seemingly seeing what Lan Shu was thinking, Li Jiaojiao took the initiative to say, "I just came back to China not long ago. I heard that the Huaxia Shopping Mall in Kyoto sells a very good skin care product, so I went to have a look." "I saw you at that time and knew that you were the owner of the cosmetics counter. Later, I heard from your teller that the skin care products they sell are developed by your company." "So you are interested in my company''s skin care products?" Lan Shu asked. "No." Li Jiaojiao replied, "I''m interested in you. You are about the same age as me, but you have already become a boss, started a company, and can also develop skin care products. You are very capable. I like to be with such a person." make friends." Li Jiaojiao made no secret of her inner thoughts and spoke quite straightforwardly. "By the way, I also plan to do some business after I return to China. I have already opened a small leather shoe design studio. Domestic leather shoes are too single in style. I will design all kinds of beautiful shoes in the future!" Li Jiaojiao said. Lan Shu nodded, and finally understood Li Jiaojiao''s purpose in making friends with her. This is a girl who just started her own business and became a female boss. Want to meet other entrepreneurial female bosses of similar age? Think that the two little girls are both interested in doing business, so they can cherish each other and promote each other and make progress together in the future? Lan Shu smiled. It''s a pity that Li Jiaojiao didn''t know that in addition to skin care products, she also had toilet paper factories and clothing factories, and even the Walkman, which is now a big hit in Kyoto, has her shares. So I probably won''t be the novice female boss who can accompany her to make progress. But she can watch Li Jiaojiao improve. Seeing Li Jiaojiao''s happy face, Lan Shu didn''t say much. She just nodded and replied, "Okay, your studio will design beautiful shoes in the future, and if I meet the right one, I will definitely support it!" "Okay~" The smile on Li Jiaojiao''s face became even more joyful. At this moment, she felt that she and Lan Shu had changed from the ordinary friends they had just met to the point where they could further communicate and become good friends. When the two exchanged briefly, not far away, those people in the business circle who knew Li Jiaojiao''s identity had already started discussing Lan Shu''s identity. "Who is that girl next to Li Jiaojiao? Why haven''t I seen it before?" "I just asked someone to go to the registration office to check, and then asked the person in charge of the registration. It is said that the girl''s surname is Lan." "The surname Lan is rare. Let me think about it. There seems to be one surnamed Lan among the members of the Chamber of Commerce. The other party does not do much business and has opened a few counters in the mall." "So this girl surnamed Lan is the... daughter of that member?" "No! I know his daughter, her name is Lan Xinya, she is not as good-looking as her!" "That''s right, I remembered it too, have you guys forgotten? During the mid-year dinner last year, that Lan Xinya was spotted by Gu Cheng, the electrical appliance business owner of the Gu family. At the end of the year, the two almost got engaged. I don¡¯t know why, it didn¡¯t work out.¡± At this time, in the corner of the dinner party, Lan Xinya, who was talked about by everyone, was also there! Lan Weicheng didn''t want to bring Lan Xinya to this business dinner, and he didn''t even tell Lan Xinya about it. Ke Lan Xinya has a few friends, whom she met at a dinner party before, and they have maintained a close relationship since then. A few days ago, a friend of hers asked her to go shopping and buy clothes together. During the chat, Lan Xinya knew the time and place of the dinner. In the next few days, Lan Xinya waited for her father to tell her, and then took her to the dinner party, but it didn''t work out! Until the day before the dinner, Lan Xinya still insinuated about the mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, but her father never said to take her there. This made Lan Xinya very angry! But even so, she didn''t directly point it out, so as not to argue with her father. She knew that members of the chamber of commerce could bring their families to participate, so she dressed herself up on this day, signed in as Lan Weicheng''s family members early in the morning, and came to the banquet. Because she came here privately, Lan Xinya hid in a corner to avoid being discovered by her father. She has been observing the entire banquet venue, since she has already planned to give up on Gu Cheng, then she always has to find another excellent man and change the target strategy. She is not young anymore, in her twenties, she can only marry well while she is young. Everything was going well, and Lan Xinya had even taken a fancy to a young man whose family was in the fabric business, and planned to get to know him. But at this time, she saw Lan Shu appearing at the business banquet! At this moment, Lan Xinya suddenly understood that her father had concealed the banquet from her, so it was to bring Lan Shu here! How can this make her not jealous? ! Lan Xinya''s jealousy just arose when there were voices talking about the Lan family''s daughter from around. The next second, her friend Liu Qian asked, "Xinya, that''s what you said, the daughter of your uncle''s family in the country, she came to live in your house in Kyoto?" Lan''s biological daughter and adopted daughter were only known to the neighbors in the compound where Lan Weicheng lived. Because of Lan Xinya''s face, the Lan family husband and wife did not spread the matter with great fanfare. So in Lan Xinya''s circle of friends, her rhetoric is that she is the daughter of her uncle''s family in the countryside, and she came to live in her house in Kyoto, and she and the other party had very unhappy fights over various trivial matters. And Lan Xinya''s friends felt that it was all expected. After all, the village girls from the countryside must have bad habits. It¡¯s strange that the girls in the city can get along well with each other~! But now, the beautiful woman in the banquet hall with a good figure and a pair of long legs looming under the skirt is the daughter of Uncle Lan Xinya''s family? Shouldn¡¯t the other party be a village girl? But how can a village girl be so good-looking and temperamental? ! "Xinya, why don''t you speak? Is she really your country relative?" Liu Qian asked again. In the crowd, there was a discussion just now. Speaking of Lan Xinya, now Lan Xinya''s name is being called out. So someone has already looked in Lan Xinya''s direction¡ª "That beautiful girl is a relative of the Lan family in the country?" "The relatives in the country are even more beautiful than the daughter of the Lan family!" "Can such a temperamental girl be raised in the countryside? I don''t believe it! After being talked about by so many people, the little girl can still remain calm, isn''t your family raised so rich?" I just found out that the previous chapter is in the process of shielding and reviewing. Please refresh and read it tomorrow. It is estimated that the review will be completed and released tomorrow afternoon. (end of this chapter) Chapter 255: a good show Chapter 255 A Good Show The banquet occasion was neither small nor big. Someone was talking about the voice of the Lan family, and it gradually spread from a small area to the end¡ª The development of the situation is completely out of Lan Xinya''s control! So it didn''t take long for Lan Weicheng, who was at the dinner party, to hear about the relatives in Lan''s hometown. "What relatives in the countryside?" Lan Weicheng didn''t know the inside story for a while. But soon, he saw his daughter Lan Shu in the banquet hall! Lan Weicheng just told his daughter to come to the dinner party today, but he didn''t expect his daughter to dress up so formally. Lan Shu like this made Lan Weicheng, a father, stunned when he saw her¡ª His family Shushu looks prettier than any little girl present! Afterwards, Lan Weicheng immediately walked in the direction of his daughter, and as he walked, he shouted proudly, "Shu Shu, come quickly, Dad introduces you to the president of our Kyoto Chamber of Commerce!" In the past, Lan Weicheng did not have much status in the business district of Kyoto, but it is different now. Now his Walkman business is booming. Many owners selling tape recorders from all over the country come to him to buy goods. Walkmans are exported to more than 20 cities. In addition, the pure plant skin care products sold at his cosmetics counter, many of the wives and daughters of businessmen in the business circle are customers of his skin care counter. Even the wife of the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce uses Lan''s Zhihu skin care products! So Lan Weicheng is outstanding because of his business, this is the first time he can talk to the chairman of their Kyoto Chamber of Commerce at close range. I learned that the skin care products of Lan''s Plant Care brand are not operated by Lan Weicheng, but the real boss is Lan Weicheng''s daughter. So, even the president of the chamber of commerce wanted to meet that little girl who was praised by Lan Weicheng as being in the sky but not on the earth. At this time, Lan Weicheng called himself ''father'', which made all the people who talked about Lan Shu''s relatives in Lan''s hometown stunned! Then, a thin surprised voice came from the crowd¡ª "Xinya, didn''t you say that she is the daughter of your uncle''s family in the country, or a relative of your family? How do you listen to your father''s meaning, she is your father''s daughter?" "Xinya?" Lan Weicheng heard the adopted daughter''s name, followed the voice, and soon saw Lan Xinya hiding behind the crowd and looking towards this side in the gap of the crowd. At this time, Lan Xinya was panicked because of Liu Qian''s words beside her. What she and Liu Qian said were just fabricated lies to vent their dissatisfaction with Lan Shu. But now, her father heard the lie! Besides her father, Lan Shu who was present must have heard it too! How does she explain this? Next, without Lan Xinya explaining, Lan Weicheng has already taken action. Lan Weicheng did not expect that Lan Xinya would come to the dinner party without making a sound, and even said that Shushu is the child of a relative in his hometown! This **** him off! The daughter he found with great difficulty was slandered by his adoptive daughter in this way. So Lan Weicheng strode towards his biological daughter, came to Lan Shu''s side, and said loudly to those around the party who were discussing his daughter''s identity, "Everyone, this is my biological daughter, named Lan Shu." "My own daughter?" Some people wondered. Since you have your own daughter, then, on the other hand, is there...not your own daughter? There is an element of gossip in people''s nature, and many people began to wonder, what happened to the Lan family? The eldest son of the Gu family canceled the engagement with the daughter of the Lan family, Lan Xinya. Was it also related to this incident? Lan Weicheng didn''t mention that Lan Xinya was not his biological daughter. He has always saved face for Lan Xinya. Even if Xinya had bad intentions towards Shushu this time, he did not expose Xinya''s background. But Xinya thinks too much in her heart! Aside, Lan Shu naturally also heard the voices of discussion in the crowd, and knew Lan Xinya''s explanation of her identity outside. Regarding this, she really doubted Lan Xinya''s IQ, and she actually told such a lie that could be easily broken. But Lan Shu can probably think of the reason why Lan Xinya said this. One is that she is unhappy in her heart, and feels that her own daughter occupies the love of her parents, which should belong to her completely, so she goes outside and says that she is a relative of her family in the country, so as to belittle herself and vent her emotions. Secondly, Lan Xinya thinks that she is in a small county and rarely comes to the capital. She probably thinks that she will never be able to make it to this level, so she wants to gossip outside. But it turned out that she was humiliating herself! Now I am afraid that many people are wondering whether Lan Xinya is the daughter of the Lan family¡ª Lan Xinya was able to come to this dinner party today, using the identity of Lan Weicheng''s daughter. If she is not the daughter of the Lan family, then she will not be eligible to appear here! Beside Lan Shu, Li Jiaojiao also looked at Lan Shu and Lan Xinya curiously. Li Jiaojiao has just returned to China, so she doesn''t know the situation of the Lan family. But from the comments of other people around her just now, she probably understood what was going on. Although she was curious, Li Jiaojiao didn''t ask Lan Shu about the specific situation in public. At this time, not prying into other people''s privacy, not interfering with Lan Shu''s family affairs, is what a friend should do¡ª Lan Shu looked in Lan Xinya''s direction, her eyes just swept over lightly, and she didn''t care about it. But the more careless she was, the more Lan Xinya felt that she was a clown in Lan Shu''s eyes, and Lan Shu didn''t see her at all! Lan Xinya thought, how could Lan Shu put on such an arrogant posture, as if she didn''t bother to care about herself? Thinking of this, Lan Xinya clenched her fists bitterly, pinching her nails into her palms! At this moment, she wanted to say something, to explain for herself. But she knew that she had better not say or do anything now, otherwise it would arouse other people''s ideas and make her make even bigger jokes! But she kept silent, while her companion Liu Qian was full of doubts. The reason why Liu Qian got closer to Lan Xinya recently is because Lan Xinya''s family has a good business, and even her father mentioned at home that the Lan family''s status in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce may be improved in the future. But now, it seems that Lan Xinya, whom she has befriended, might not be the biological daughter of the Lan family? Otherwise, Lan Xinya''s father wouldn''t say that the other girl was his biological daughter, and Lan Xinya wouldn''t feel jealous, spreading the rumor that the Lan family''s biological daughter was a relative from the countryside. so¡­ "Xinya, aren''t you your father''s biological daughter? Is it because of this reason that Gu Cheng didn''t want to get engaged to you last year?" Liu Qian''s words at this moment simply tore off the last layer of fig leaf on Lan Xinya''s face! This sentence also expressed the thoughts of many people at the dinner party. Is that so? The Lan family still has such a good show! (end of this chapter) Chapter 256: dog skin plaster Chapter 256 Dog skin plaster Lan Xinya was ashamed because of Liu Qian''s telling the truth. Why is Liu Qian talking so much? She even regretted coming here with Liu Qian! But at this time, it was useless for her to regret it. The eyes of those around her watching her show fell on her, making her feel ashamed! Fortunately, Lan Weicheng doesn''t have a daughter like Lan Xinya in his heart. Even if Lan Xinya targeted Lan Shu several times out of jealousy, as a father, she would still give her child a chance to correct herself. Such opportunities are not endless, but at least at this stage, Lan Weicheng does not want to look bad at his adopted daughter. So Lan Weicheng spoke again, and said to Liu Qian who was beside Lan Xinya, "Xinya grew up in our family, and in my heart, she is my daughter!" At this moment, although Lan Weicheng did not explain Lan Xinya''s identity, everyone present knew his attitude. ¡ªAlthough Lan Xinya is not his own, he regards him as his own. This was originally to defend Lan Xinya, but in Lan Xinya''s heart, it was her father who publicly announced to everyone that she was not the biological daughter of the Lan family! It''s ridiculous that she had previously rumored that Lan Shu was a relative in the country, but now in just a few minutes, the situation has reversed, and she is the one with unknown origin! Thinking of this, Lan Xinya no longer has the mood to stay at this banquet any longer. She raised her head, glared fiercely at Liu Qian beside her, and then walked straight to the outside of the banquet hall. Just as he was about to walk out of the banquet gate, suddenly, a figure walked in from the outside¡ª "Why so quiet, what happened?" Gu Cheng''s deep voice sounded, and he walked into the dinner party under the gaze of everyone. Seeing this scene, Lan Xinya, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. She looked at Gu Cheng with tears in her eyes, hoping that Gu Cheng would look at their relationship as a ''friend'' and save her some face. And this kind of situation fell into Lan Shu''s eyes, and Lan Shu couldn''t help complaining in her heart. With so much attention, it is worthy of the male lead''s appearance! Besides, she is looking forward to it, will the plot return to the main line, and let the hero save the beauty to the heroine? But what happened next disappointed her, Gu Cheng seemed to have not seen Lan Xinya, and walked straight into the banquet hall. Afterwards, he had the half-smile expression of an old fox in the workplace, and swept the audience with his eyes full of domineering- It''s just that when Gu Cheng saw Lan Shu, his eyes suddenly stopped! The arrogant yet polite fake smile on his face suddenly became more sincere, "Coincidentally, Miss Lan is here too, we meet again." The one who answered Gu Cheng was Lan Shu who rolled her eyes without giving him any face, as if she didn''t see Gu Cheng or hear Gu Cheng greet her, she turned around and said to Lan Weicheng, "Dad, you Who did you just say you want to take me to see? Let''s go." Lan Weicheng understood how annoying his daughter was to Gu Cheng, so he immediately followed her daughter''s wishes. "Yes, yes, I will take you to meet the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. I heard that the wife of the chairman''s family uses skin care products from your company..." "Do you want to see the president of the Chamber of Commerce? Then let''s go together." Li Jiaojiao also said. The three of them turned around and walked towards the other side of the banquet hall together¡ª At this moment, all the onlookers saw that the biological daughter of the Lan family didn''t like Gu Cheng. Could it be because Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya ended their engagement before? But the relationship between the two daughters of the Lan family doesn''t seem to be that good, right? And looking at Gu Cheng''s appearance, he ignored Lan Xinya who almost became his fianc¨¦e in the past, and greeted Lan''s biological daughter instead, but the other party didn''t bother to talk to him at all? What is the origin of the biological daughter of the Lan family, that she doesn''t even give Gu Cheng, the big boss of the electrical appliance company, any face? As for Lan Xinya, who had cast hopeful glances at Gu Cheng before, after being ignored by Gu Cheng, she completely lost her mind to stay. Taking advantage of the attention of others on Gu Cheng, Lan Xinya left the dinner party disheartened¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu, who was attending a commercial banquet for the first time, was taken by Lan Weicheng to meet the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce without any stage fright. The chairman is a bit older than Lan Weicheng, in his fifties, wearing a brown Tang suit, with a long beard. After the introduction, Lan Shu learned that the president of the chamber of commerce was named Li. She almost subconsciously looked towards Li Jiaojiao beside her¡ª Sure enough, in the next second, Lan Shu saw Li Jiaojiao running to President Li with a smile on her face. She naturally took President Li''s arm and introduced, "Lan Shu, this is my father." Li Jiaojiao is the youngest daughter in President Li''s family. Knowing that his daughter has made friends with the little girl from the Lan family, Chairman Li looked at Lan Shu with more of the kindness that elders treat younger generations. There are not many little girls who can get into Jiaojiao''s eyes, at least in the past month or so since Jiaojiao returned to China, but she doesn''t have a single friend. Many people pursued and wanted to be friends with his daughter, but Jiaojiao didn''t like any of them, thinking that she was dull and boring. This little girl from the Lan family looks pretty good, and President Li is happy to see that his daughter has a good relationship with her. Here, the Lan and Li families are having a pleasant exchange, and not far away, Gu Cheng has already walked towards Lan Shu. Seeing this scene, Li Jiaojiao immediately winked at Lan Shu, "Lan Shu, that man you hate is chasing after you." Li Jiaojiao doesn''t know who Gu Cheng is, although in her eyes Gu Cheng is tall and tall, judging from the eyes of some people around him, Gu Cheng is quite capable. But just now she could see that Lan Shu was tired of each other at a glance! The man Lan Shu hates is definitely not a good person, and she also doesn''t like it. President Li on the side heard his daughter''s words, and subconsciously followed her daughter''s line of sight, wanting to see who the little girl of the Lan family disliked. But when he looked up, he saw Gu Cheng striding towards¡ª The little girl from the Lan family hates Gu Cheng? If it is true, then this will surprise President Li. The eldest son of the Gu family has a relationship with the Wei family behind him. In addition, his own career development is also very good. He is not only famous in the business district of Kyoto, but also in the commercial industry of Haicheng. Such a man who was stared at by countless women and wanted to marry, how could some women hate him? President Li''s doubts soon came to fruition. Although Gu Cheng came here for Lan Shu, he greeted the president of the chamber of commerce politely first. Afterwards, his eyes never left Lan Shu. Lan Shu was so disgusted by Gu Cheng''s gaze, she even thought in her heart, is the male lead shaking M? The more I loathe him, despise him, and even scold him, why is he still rushing here? Lan Shu really wanted to roll her eyes a few times to express her feelings. Gu Cheng is really annoying! In her eyes, this male protagonist can be equated with ''dog skin plaster''! (end of this chapter) Chapter 257: Too much Chapter 257 is too much Gu Cheng''s affection for Lan Shu was quite obvious, President Li who was standing beside him could see it at a glance. And Lan Shu''s impatient reaction could not escape President Li''s eyes. ¡­ With Gu Cheng''s conditions, this situation is rather strange. At the banquet hall, Gu Cheng, a big boss in the electrical appliance industry who has already established a prosperous business at a young age, his appearance attracted the attention of many people, if not all. Especially in some families with daughters or younger sisters who are of the right age to marry, it would be the dream of many people to have a son-in-law/brother-in-law like Gu Cheng who is capable in the business field. In the past, when Gu Cheng had a girlfriend, he dissuaded many people. When he returned to his single state, some well-known business families in the industry have secretly planned to let their daughter/sister get in touch with Gu Cheng. The mid-year dinner of the chamber of commerce was a great opportunity, but before all the companies took action, and before those women who had a crush on Gu Cheng approached, everyone found that Gu Cheng obviously had a crush on him? Seeing the way Gu Cheng looked at the Lan family''s own daughter, everyone present suspected that the Lan family was not a wealthy business family in the mall, so why did Gu Cheng seem to have identified the Lan family''s daughter? First Lan Xinya, then Lan Shu... Suddenly, many girls at the scene began to envy, even envy Lan Shu. But soon, they found that Lan Shu seemed to have no interest in Gu Cheng at all! It''s not playing hard to get, but boredom almost written on his face! This made many people puzzled. The Lan family''s biological daughter who suddenly appeared and didn''t know her past history, what right did she have to bother Gu Cheng? Even her father can''t compare with Gu Cheng in terms of business. Who does she think she is? At the dinner party, people who usually come to the banquet usually gather in twos and threes to chat and flatter each other. But this time, even if there were people discussing it, most of the topics revolved around the drama scene between Gu Cheng and the two daughters of the Lan family just now. Chairman Li originally wanted to chat with the little girl from the Lan family and ask her about the operation of the cosmetics company, so as to evaluate whether she is qualified to enter the chamber of commerce and become a member of the chamber of commerce based on the situation. But now, with Gu Cheng''s arrival, he had to postpone this matter. President Li refused to participate in the emotional affairs of the juniors, so he just found an excuse and went to the side to chat with other business colleagues. Li Jiaojiao didn''t want to socialize with her father, and she wanted to spend more time with Lan Shu, so she stayed. Besides, Lan Weicheng was about to find a reason to keep his daughter away from Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng moved and stood in front of Lan Shu. "Miss Lan, on an occasion like today, I can always say a few words to you, right?" Half a year ago, Gu Cheng would never have thought that he would speak to a woman in such a cautious, even humble tone. And Lan Shu didn''t expect that the hero who dominates the shopping mall in the setting really has a tendency to tremble/M. It turns out that the male protagonist can¡¯t escape the Zeigarnik effect, thinking that ¡®what you can¡¯t get is the best¡¯. The other party''s mentality really troubled Lan Shu! Although she felt a headache, Lan Shu still had to explain her persistence clearly. She looked at Gu Cheng and said word by word, "On an occasion like today, do you really want to make a fool of yourself in public?" She doesn''t care what the occasion is, if Gu Cheng dares to pester her, she won''t be polite! Gu Cheng, who had already been rejected several times, looked a little ugly. He really didn''t expect Lan Shu to be so stubborn? Before he could react, Lan Shu had already turned around and stopped interacting with Gu Cheng. Seeing this, Gu Cheng was still hesitating whether he should continue to show his favor, but now, seeing that Lan Shu was about to leave, he lost his sense in his desperation. "Miss Lan..." "Are you annoying? Lan Shu has rejected you so clearly, and you are still stalking?" Besides, Li Jiaojiao couldn''t stand it anymore. Originally, Li Jiaojiao thought that Gu Cheng was good-looking and seemed to be quite successful in his career, but no matter whether it was a man or a woman, once they were entangled emotionally, they would be looked down upon. As the daughter of the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, and returning from studying abroad, Li Jiaojiao is more open-minded and straightforward. But her directness made all the women present who had a crush on Gu Cheng lose their sight~! "Why did Mr. Gu hang himself on a tree? You might as well turn around and have a look, there are many girls who are in the same family as you want to get to know you." "Mr. Gu, my name is Dong Lingxin. My family is in the timber business. I want to get to know you." "Mr. Gu, my family is in the musical instrument business, and my name is Hong Xiangmeng." "Mr. Gu, my name is Sun Qiyue, and my family runs a supply and marketing cooperative." "..." For a while, there were countless women who indirectly confessed their love to Gu Cheng. This scene, from the perspective of the male protagonist, is quite refreshing! Immediately made Gu Cheng very face. But in Lan Shu''s view, all of this has nothing to do with her! She just cast a sideways glance at the women who confessed to Gu Cheng, and left if they had nothing to do with her. But in the next second, someone said to her, "Lan Shu, right? What are you? You are just the daughter of a small merchant family, yet you dare to reject Mr. Gu." "That is to say, for a man as outstanding as Mr. Gu, it is your blessing to see you. I really don''t know what you think!" "Since you have blind eyes and don''t understand Mr. Gu''s goodness, then you should not appear in front of Mr. Gu!" Lan Shu:? ? ? Although she knew that Gu Cheng was the male lead, who had a halo and a sense of coolness, but she didn''t provoke anyone, and Gu Cheng entangled herself, but let herself be "set fire" by all the women, which is too much ? ! Li Jiaojiao on the side was also dumbfounded, "It''s obviously that man pestering Lan Shu!" Lan Shu stopped and looked at Yingying Yanyan who surrounded Gu Cheng. Some of these women are gentle and ladylike, some are delicate and cute, some are even mature and intelligent, and they all look about 10 to 67. Overall, they are not bad, but they are confused by the halo of Gu Cheng''s protagonist and lose their minds. Lan Shu shook her head, not so much annoyed by these people, but more sympathetic. She opened her mouth and said softly, "No matter who I am or what my background is, it has nothing to do with who I reject. If you can get the people you support to stop pestering me, then I would like to thank you." Lan Shu''s indifferent attitude made all the women who attacked her with words seem to hit the cotton, and did not hurt her at all. On the contrary, it was her words that made the women realize that Gu Cheng was the one who caused trouble in this matter and should be stopped. (end of this chapter) Chapter 258: Its not something a cat or a dog can pursue Chapter 258 is not something a cat or a dog can pursue The commotion here is really too big, originally it was only a limited range of ideas, now almost everyone in the banquet hall knows that Gu Cheng, the big boss of the electrical company who is not only young but also successful in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, is pursuing girls Can not be rejected. This was originally a shameful thing, but in the end, no one thought that all of Gu Cheng''s admirers would beat him up and despise the little girl in order to save face for Gu Cheng. If the Lan family is really just a small business, then this matter can only be swallowed and let be bullied. But now, Lan Weicheng''s business has improved dramatically in just a few months! He is a sales giant in the Walkman industry, and he is already well-known in the business district of Kyoto! --- "What is Gu Cheng? Is he worthy of my daughter''s attention?" Everyone:? ? ? Although the Lan family has a good business because of the Walkman and skin care products, isn¡¯t what you said a little too crazy? Gu Cheng is also the boss of the electric appliance industry in Kyoto! But then, another voice came from around. "Miss Lan is the major shareholder of our ''Xiangle'', is my ''Xiangle'' Walkman a small business?" Qian Qing said in a funny tone, walked out of the crowd with Lu Wei, and stood beside Lan Shu. Today, Lu Wei and Qian Qing were also invited to attend the mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Now the reputation of Xiangle Walkmans has spread all over the country. As the person in charge of Xiangle, the two were personally invited by Chairman Li. After Qian Qing finished speaking, another voice sounded from the other side. "Miss Lan is the general manager of our Yunshu clothing brand and my boss. She is not something that cats and dogs can pursue!" Yu Yuan stepped out of the crowd and stood beside Lanshu. The people present are all from the business circle, so they all have heard of ''Yunshu Clothing'', a clothing brand that is expanding rapidly across the country. Even many men and women who participated in the business dinner today were wearing clothes from the Yunshu clothing brand! Yu Yuan had already joined the chamber of commerce when he opened a clothing store and a leather bag store before. Today, as the regional manager of Yunshu clothing brand, he was invited to the dinner party. As a result, when he first arrived, he heard that someone thought his boss was the daughter of a small businessman? If his boss was from a small merchant, then what is he, a big regional manager with a monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, who follows his boss to make money? After saying this, Yu Yuan added angrily, "By the way, my boss still has a Yunrou toilet paper factory under his control." Yu Yuan didn''t know that the major shareholder of the toilet paper factory was someone else, but he knew that besides the garment factory, Lan Shu was also the director of the Yunrou toilet paper factory. Beside Lan Shu, Li Jiaojiao heard that the friend she just made took care of so many businesses, Li Jiaojiao exclaimed¡ª¡ª "Lan Shu, so you are not just the owner of Lan''s skin care products?!" Lan''s skin care products¡­ Over 80% of the women attending the dinner party today are loyal users of Lan''s skin care products. No one expected that this little girl from the Lan family, who was despised by Gu Cheng''s supporters just now, would actually be involved in multiple industries in business! And every business has reached the industry-leading level! From this point of view, Gu Cheng, who is only a giant in the electrical appliance industry, is indeed not worthy of Miss Lan. Miss Lan is so good, it''s totally normal to look down on Gu Cheng! Even Gu Cheng didn''t expect Lan Shu''s business to be so extensive! So you were rejected because you were not as good as her? Suddenly, Gu Cheng''s previous sense of accomplishment and aspirations in his career were shattered by the success of Lan Shu''s career, and he was hit hard! At this moment, those few standing beside Gu Cheng, kept talking about how many excellent women Mr. Gu had, their faces turned green and red, and they were so ashamed that they could not speak, so they could only retreat silently into the crowd... Not far away, President Li, as the president of the chamber of commerce and also the host of the dinner, couldn''t watch the atmosphere at the scene fall into a stalemate. So he immediately came over and stood up to smooth things over¡ª "I have long heard that Ms. Lan is a rare business genius. Now it seems that this is true. Let us welcome Ms. Lan to officially join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and become the youngest director in our chamber of commerce!" When Chairman Li said this, everyone present was stunned¡ª "A member of the chamber of commerce council?" A member who joined the chamber of commerce at the beginning of its establishment repeated President Li''s words in disbelief. Their Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the country, and it is officially recognized. Nowadays, there are hundreds of members in the chamber of commerce, but there are only seven members of the council! Those seven are well-known existences in the entire industry! And it''s not just in the mall, there are other relationships behind them in various aspects, which can be said to be prominent in the background. Although Gu Cheng''s company is the leader in the electric appliance industry in Kyoto and almost monopolizes the entire electric appliance industry, he is not even qualified to be a member of the chamber of commerce council! So Chairman Li really didn''t announce the mistake? How does a little girl enter the chamber of commerce and become one of the council members directly? The reason why President Li had such considerations and announced on the spot without the consent of other council members was entirely because he saw the business development prospects of Lan Shu. Lan''s skin care products and Xiangle Walkman are related to her, which is not a big deal. The influence of Yunshu''s clothing brand is indeed great, but it is not enough for Lanshu to become a member of the council of the chamber of commerce. But Yunrou toilet paper is different. It is a national brand that has been advertised on TV and has long been popular among the people! President Li also has some gossip. He heard that the director of the TV station''s morning program is the person in charge of the Yunrou toilet paper factory. Now that little girl Lan Shu has so many known names, what about the unknown ones? Being able to mercilessly reject Gu''s eldest son and not caring about the power of the Wei family behind Gu Cheng, President Li is also not sure how capable Lan Shu is! But now her ability to show in front of others, coupled with the market prospects of her business, also makes her eligible to be a member of the council. When everyone was shocked and the surroundings were extremely silent, ¡®Da, Da, Da¡­¡¯ A sound of footsteps came into the banquet hall. Someone looked up and saw a tall, handsome young man walking slowly into the dinner party. The young man was wearing a light gray suit. Although he looked young, not even twenty years old, he had a calm and powerful aura beyond his age. He frowned slightly, his eyes swept over everyone, and then fell on Lan Shu. At that moment, the original indifference on his face instantly melted away and became soft¡ª¡ª He raised the corner of his mouth and said softly, "Lanshu, I miss you." (end of this chapter) Chapter 259: mine is yours Chapter 259 What''s mine is yours "Who is that?" Someone asked. The young man who suddenly appeared, a young man who seemed to have an unusual relationship with Miss Lan, aroused the curiosity of many people. "That is¡­" Someone at the scene had already recognized the identity of the young man, and was about to blurt it out, but Chairman Li spoke up first. "Gu Jue? Why are you here?" "Gu Jue? Could it be Gu Cheng''s younger brother?" "That''s him! If Gu Cheng hadn''t been standing behind the Wei family, he would have gotten to where he is now? But the one in front of him is the real young master of the Wei family!" At the dinner party, because of the Wei family, there were not a few people who knew about Gu Jue. Although the Wei family does not do business, no one dares to underestimate it. It exists above the business circle! When Gu Cheng first entered the shopping mall, how many business giants with deep backgrounds in the circle did not compete with Gu Cheng for the sales rights in the electrical industry because of the relationship with the Wei family. Even those electrical appliance manufacturers, because of Gu Cheng''s strong background, are the first to supply electrical appliances to Gu Cheng, which promotes the development and growth of his electrical appliance company. It is precisely because Gu Cheng has blocked the supply source of electrical appliance manufacturers that no one can **** the market of the electrical appliance industry from him. So Gu Chengneng has today, although it is undeniable that he has the ability to do business, but if he hadn''t been related to the Wei family, he would definitely not have the success of his career today. Before, many people in the circle were secretly saying that if Mrs. Wei''s biological son was not too young, how could Gu Cheng have a chance? Now seeing the youngest son of the Gu family suddenly, many people realize in a daze that the young master of the Gu family has grown up so much! Although he still has the youthful feeling of a teenager, at a glance, he is no longer a child, but an adult¡ª Now, what is the relationship between the grown-up young master of the Gu family and the biological daughter of the Lan family...? That line, ''I miss you. ¡¯ brought infinite reverie to everyone present. "Aren''t you here... why are you here?" Lan Shu looked at Xiao Bai suspiciously. People who were supposed to be in Qingyang County suddenly appeared in Kyoto? Xiaobai was able to come to the capital, one is that the matter he wanted to investigate in Qingyang County has already had results. Secondly, the electronic information company he co-founded with Xue Chuang has made new progress, and the pager has been successfully developed, and it is only waiting for the official release. This project was very favored by the higher-ups. When the chamber of commerce heard the news, they invited Xue Chuang to a banquet. Xue Chuang appears to be the head of the electronic information company on the surface, but judging from the actual shareholding, he is not the real boss of the electronic company. So Xue Chuang contacted Gu Jue in advance, told him the news of today''s business banquet, and asked Gu Cheng if he would like to attend. Besides these two reasons, the most important thing is that Xiao Bai really misses Lan Shu... Thinking that Lan Shu would stay in the capital for half a month, he couldn''t help running back! At worst, wait half a month before accompanying Lan Shu back to Qingyang County. "I''ll come and see you." Xiao Bai smiled slightly and answered Lan Shu''s question. He paused before continuing, "By the way, attend the business dinner." When everyone heard his words, some were surprised and some were speechless. The mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, outsiders are not qualified to come, but now the other party actually says they came by the way? In the Gu family, is Gu Cheng doing business? Although Gu Jue is the grandson of Mr. Wei, the real young master of the Gu family, and has a higher status than Gu Cheng, but if he is not from the business district, it seems that he is not qualified to come here? Just when everyone was wondering if the young master of the Gu family didn''t think much of their chamber of commerce, a man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses came out from the crowd. "Let me introduce, Mr. Gu is the boss of our new electronic information company." Xue Chuang said, standing beside Gu Jue. New electronic information company, only some business leaders present who got inside information know about it. I heard that a start-up company has developed a new type of communication device. Although that kind of communication device does not have the call function of a mobile phone, it can transmit information, and most importantly, the price is acceptable to most ordinary people. Once it is released, it will change the communication status of the entire society today! At this mid-year dinner, some big bosses with strong financial resources in the business district had inquired before they came that the new communication equipment needs to add wireless communication stations, and a lot of money will be invested at that time. They are still thinking about whether they can get online with a new electronic information company, and then invest money in it to take equity? Because once such a large-scale communication model is established, it is equivalent to a golden rooster that can lay eggs! For example, mobile phone companies charge for incoming and outgoing calls. Similarly, as long as people use communication equipment in the future, there will always be profits¡ª Many people are staring at this company, and now everyone has finally met the new boss! Now, the young master of the Gu family is definitely qualified to participate in this mid-year dinner! At the banquet, no matter what others thought, Xiao Bai never cared about other people''s reactions from the beginning to the end. His eyes almost never left Lan Shu. Everyone looked at the biological daughter of the Lan family, and at the two brothers of the Gu family. At this moment, everyone seemed to understand why Lan Shu rejected Gu Cheng¡ª In comparison, this young master of the Gu family who suddenly came to the dinner party is far superior to his brother Gu Cheng in terms of height, appearance, and identity! Even though he is a little younger, Miss Lan is not very old. In this way, everyone knows how to choose between the two men! Across the street, Lan Shu was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Baixin''s identity. Electronic Information Company¡­ She remembered that she and Xiaobai had said in a small chat before that the electronic information industry will be the big money maker in the future. It turns out that Xiaobai has kept his words in his heart~! Lan Shu didn''t doubt Xiaobai''s love for the pharmaceutical industry at all, and Xiaobai''s study situation, she went to Peking University School of Medicine several times, because she saw it in her eyes. According to Lan Shu''s understanding, Xiaobai is not proficient in electronic information technology, so this electronic information company, like the toilet paper factory, should be a business invested by Xiaobai. From Lan Shu''s point of view, it''s just Xiaobai''s spare time to pursue a side job outside of his job. On the other side, seeing that his investment in an electronic information company was exposed, Xiao Bai was afraid that Lan Shu would not be happy with his concealment. He immediately walked towards Lan Shu and said, "Lan Shu, I''m sorry, I didn''t tell you about this." Hearing this, Lan Shu was about to reply, ¡®What is there to apologize for? '' I heard Xiaobai say again. "But it''s okay, what''s mine is yours." He said with sincere eyes. "Of course, what''s yours is still yours." Xiao Bai said with a serious tone. Everyone present:? ? ? Hearing his words, the few business leaders present who knew the future development prospects of the new electronic information company couldn''t believe it! Young master Gu knows what he said, how much money did he give away? This is the first chapter tonight. Due to the recent epidemic, the bear children are closed at home, unable to code during the day, and staying up late every night is a bit unbearable. I want to change the schedule and continue to update tomorrow. (`) compare heart (end of this chapter) Chapter 260: only need your money Chapter 260 Only missing your money Even Lan Shu was shocked by Xiao Bai''s purely intentional behavior of giving money. Xiao Bai was so kind to her, Lan Shu suddenly felt pressured... As soon as the young master of the Gu family said this, everyone at the dinner party knew the relationship between him and the biological daughter of the Lan family who suddenly appeared. Thinking of the way Gu Cheng looked at Miss Lan before... These are two brothers from the Gu family, fell in love with the same woman? Although they both like it, there is still a difference between the two. Gu Cheng''s pursuit of Miss Lan is wishful thinking, but Young Master Gu''s liking makes him want to offer all his hands¡ª Young Master Gu''s sincerity, any woman would be moved, right? Only Gu Cheng was on the side, looking in disbelief at his half-brother standing beside Lan Shu. "Gu Jue, when did you start the company? Are you really willing to give everything to others for the sake of love?" At this moment, everything in front of Gu Cheng''s eyes, he didn''t know whether to call Gu Jue stupid or ridiculous? Gu Jue finally became self-motivated and learned to do business, but for the sake of a woman, he didn''t want anything. In the past, Gu Cheng would be on guard against Gu Jue, and didn''t want him to be better than himself, but now, Gu Cheng found that to destroy Gu Jue and make him a waste, he only needs to let him fall in love with a woman. It''s just a woman that Gu Jue likes... and it happens to be his favorite too. This made Gu Cheng feel a little tangled. He hopes that Lan Shu belongs to him, and also hopes that Gu Jue will be influenced by love and have no fighting spirit for his career. But these two things are destined not to coexist. Besides, Xiaobai didn''t seem to hear Gu Cheng''s words, and he didn''t pay attention to Gu Cheng at all. He knew that Lan Shu would not take over his electronic information company easily, so Xiao Bai thought of a way. "Lan Shu, my company will build a communication station next and needs investment. You will be the major shareholder? Invest 100,000, 50% of the equity." After hearing Xiaobai''s suggestion, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback. It''s not because it''s more than 100,000 yuan, but because Xiaobai is willing to give up so many shares! Once she owns 50% of the shares and becomes the largest shareholder of the company, then this electronic information company is equivalent to her company. Xiaobai really wants to give the company to himself? Around, several other big bosses who have long wanted to invest in Xinchuang electronic information company, heard that Xinchuang needs investment, and no matter whether Young Master Gu wants to give the company away, some people can''t help but say¡ª "Master Gu, do you still want to invest in your company? I also have 100,000, and I only want 10% of your company''s shares." The person who said this was a shop owner in Kyoto, surnamed Tang. He has two shopping malls in Kyoto under his name, and he earns a lot of money just by collecting rent every month. One of the shopping malls is Huaxia Shopping Mall, where Lan Weicheng rented a counter to do business¡ª The original name of Xinchuang Electronic Information Company was not known to many people present. But now, I heard that Boss Tang wants to invest 100,000 yuan, and only needs 10% of the shares. So, that little-known new electronic information company is worth a million? ! Just as many people were shocked by this realization, Boss Dong from the antique circle in Kyoto also said, "I''ll take 200,000, as long as Xinchuang holds 12% of the shares." As soon as these words came out, the new electronic information company, which was originally valued at one million, had a direct value of nearly two million! ? "Boss Tang, Boss Dong, that electronic information company, is it really so valuable?" Many business people in the surrounding business circles have already asked doubts. The two were asked and did not intend to answer the question. The less people know about start-up electronic information companies, the fewer their competitors. So they just looked at the young master of the Gu family with piercing eyes, waiting for a reply. And Xiaobai frowned displeasedly because others interrupted him to show his affection to Lan Shu. He ignored the bosses who wanted to invest, just looked at Lan Shu, and said, "Lan Shu, my company needs 100,000 yuan for development, so please help me~" He doesn''t want other people''s money, he only wants Lan Shu''s investment. In this way, there will be a bond between myself and Lan Shu because of the common business. At this time, when the people around heard his words, they had no doubt that he was not asking for money at all, he was clearly going to give it to the company! Lan Shu also understood Xiao Bai''s thoughts. Although 50% of the equity in an electronic information company is very tempting, she can still withstand the temptation. "I''ll ask the secretary to transfer the one hundred thousand to you tomorrow, as a loan to you." She said. Although the relationship between her and Xiaobai is good, she can''t take advantage of Xiaobai without a bottom line. She hasn''t decided whether she wants to have an emotional development with Xiaobai. If she and Xiaobai are not together in the future, then the current equity issue will become a ''bomb'' in their friendship in the future! All the people present are businessmen. In the past two years, everyone has made money in various businesses, and some even went from ordinary working class to middle-class families because of doing business. Even if the family is rich, many people are not at the point where they can come up with 100,000 yuan in cash. Not to mention someone like Lan Shu, who just transfers 100,000 out of the way! This tone clearly let everyone know that one hundred thousand yuan is nothing to Miss Lan from the Lan family! So what kind of luck did Lan Weicheng have to find such a wealthy daughter? One hundred thousand yuan...I''m afraid Lan Weicheng can''t even get it out by himself? Xiaobai could tell Lanshu''s insistence, so he didn''t force it anymore. Whether it is investment or borrowing, there is always something to say in the future. He decided to give his company to Lan Shu, and he insisted on this matter. What he sent was not the company, but his heart. I can¡¯t send it now, but I will send it slowly in the future. At the scene, Gu Jue''s arrival did not affect the progress of the business dinner. Soon, everyone continued to socialize. It''s just different from the previous situation, there are countless people around the father and daughter of the Lan family and the young master of the Gu family. "Master Gu, do you really not consider investment? Money can be discussed." Boss Tang still hasn''t given up. "Master Gu, 200,000 yuan, as long as 8% of the shares are enough." Boss Dong did not give up. Several other big bosses who knew a little about the situation of the new electronic information company gradually appeared beside Xiao Bai. "Gu Jue, Mrs. Wei and I used to be classmates. I went to meet you when you were one year old. Your electronic information company..." "Master Gu, I worked in the same unit as your father before I started business. If you are short of money..." For those who want to invest in their own company, Xiaobai has only one sentence¡ª "Will I be short of money?" It¡¯s only 100,000 yuan. Although the toilet paper factory¡¯s dividend this year has not yet come down, if he really needs money, he can sell a little of the shares in his hand, and it will be more than 100,000 yuan. The benefits of the toilet paper factory were brought to him by Lanshu, so he also wanted his electronic information company to bring more wealth to Lanshu. (end of this chapter) Chapter 261: nowhere to vent Chapter 261 Nowhere to vent Lanshu''s side is also surrounded by many people. Different from the people around Xiaobai who want to discuss business, around her, some ladies and ladies from the capital side contacted her enthusiastically. "Where did Miss Lan live before? Will she often be in Kyoto in the future?" "If Miss Lan is free in the future, we can make an appointment for afternoon tea." "The skin care products produced by Miss Lan''s company are very useful, and I will recommend my friends to use them together." "Miss Lan really doesn''t mean that to Mr. Gu Cheng?" Faced with these various problems, Lan Shu was a little upset. Surrounded by a group of people she didn''t know asking questions, she really felt that she didn''t need to answer everyone''s doubts. Besides, Lan Weicheng was also surrounded, most of them were colleagues in the mall, asking him about his two daughters. So Lan Weicheng wanted to help his daughter out of the siege, but he couldn''t get out for a while. It was Xiaobai who saw Lan Shu''s sullen and unhappy look, he immediately winked at Xue Chuang who was beside him, then pushed aside the crowd, came to Lan Shu''s side, and grabbed her wrist. "Do you want to go out to get some air?" Xiaobai asked. Lan Shu heard about it and couldn''t wish for it. She didn''t answer, but grabbed Xiaobai''s wrist with her backhand, and pulled him away from the banquet hall¡ª Seeing Miss Lan, who has a mysterious background in the Lan family, leaving with the young master of the Gu family, even if the people around wanted to inquire about some news through the two of them, they were too embarrassed to leave them behind. It wasn''t until the two of them left that the crowd gradually dissipated, and they continued to communicate in small groups and changed other topics. Only in the corner of the dinner party, Gu Cheng frowned and looked at the back of Lan Shu and Gu Jue leaving. At this moment, he finally made a decision. If women and career have to choose one or the other, he must put career first in his heart. Knowing that Gu Jue has opened an electronic information company now, and the prospects are bright, Gu Cheng has no intention to spend his mind on relationships anymore. The most important thing right now is to develop your career! ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai left the commercial dinner, and they didn''t separate immediately. Standing by the roadside in front of the Kyoto Hotel, Lan Shu asked curiously about Xiao Bai''s sudden return, "When did you arrive in Kyoto?" "I came here by car in the morning and arrived in Kyoto at night." Xiaobai answered truthfully. After listening to Xiaobai''s words, Lan Shu felt the imperceptible fatigue in Xiaobai''s eyes under the warm yellow light on the side of the road. "Have you got a meal yet?" It''s almost eight o''clock now, he came in such a hurry, he might be hungry. The next second, just as Lan Shu guessed, Xiao Bai shook his head gently. Seeing his reaction, Lan Shu replied, "Go, let''s eat." After finishing speaking, she pulled Xiaobai''s wrist and led him to the place where the driver, Master Zhang, parked¡ª This night, the two did not go back to the dinner party, but had something to eat in a nearby small restaurant. When they parted, Lan Shu asked Master Zhang to send Xiao Bai to the compound near his home. Before Xiaobai got out of the car, he turned to Lan Shu and said, "Lan Shu, you look so good today." "Also, mine is yours..." After finishing speaking, before Lan Shu could react, Xiao Bai had already walked into the courtyard quickly. Leaving Lan Shu sitting in the car, staring blankly. Finally, Master Zhang, who was still sitting in the driver''s seat, turned his head and asked her, "Director Lan, let''s go next..." "Take me home." Lan Shu said. "Okay, Director Lan!" Master Zhang said, started the car and drove away slowly. ¡­ The next day was Sunday, and Xu Shan had a weekend off, so she called her daughter in the morning and asked her to go home for lunch. The Lan family, knowing that her daughter likes to eat meat buns, Xu Shan got busy early in the morning. Buy onions, meat, and radishes. Make noodles, chop stuffing, make buns. When Lan Shu came back in the car, before reaching the gate of her courtyard, she could smell the fragrant steamed buns wafting from her courtyard from afar. A black Santana appeared in the compound and stopped at the entrance of Lan''s house, causing the neighbors to raise their heads to look this way. When Lan Shu got out of the car, the neighbor''s aunt nearby asked, "Miss Lan, who''s car is this time, it''s so impressive~" Because Lan Shu came back in the car arranged by Mrs. Wei before, the neighbors still remember it. Now that the car she is riding in has changed, some people will inevitably feel curious. Buying a car by yourself is not easy to publicize in a small place like Tianshui Village, but this is Kyoto, so it doesn''t matter if you don''t talk about it. So she replied casually, "Buying a car at home will also make it easier for me to go to and from Kyoto every month." Hearing what she said, the neighbor''s aunt who asked the question before was surprised from ear to ear! Waiting for Lan Shu to enter her house, the other party realized that she muttered to herself, "This daughter of the Lan family is really capable~!" In the yard, Xu Shan heard her daughter''s voice, immediately put down her work and walked out. She looked at her daughter with a smile on her face. She hadn''t seen her for a month, and she really missed her as a mother. "Shushu, mom steamed meat buns for you. You can take them home later and eat slowly. Let''s have braised chicken at noon. Do you want rice or pot stickers? Mom will make them for you later." After hearing this, Lan Shu replied with a gentle smile on her face, "Let''s eat rice, the stewed chicken soup with rice is the best." "Okay, whatever Shushu wants to eat, mom will cook for you." Saying that, Xu Shan got into the kitchen again and continued to work. In the courtyard, the voices of the mother and daughter were heard word by word in the ears of Lan Xinya upstairs¡ª Last night, after Lan Xinya came back from the business dinner, she stayed in the room and refused to come out. Lan Xinya felt her heart was broken! Dad took Lan Shu to a business dinner, but kept it a secret from him! Thinking of the kindness my parents treated me before Lan Shu appeared, but now, because I am not my own, I am treated like this? Lan Xinya doesn''t want to stay in such a home anymore! But if she goes, where can she go? Lan Xinya didn''t know, and she didn''t have the capital to run away from home. So she was sad and painful, but she had nowhere to vent. Now hearing that Lan Shu is back, Lan Xinya only feels irritable! Hearing her mother said that Lan Shu would do whatever she wanted to eat, Lan Xinya was so jealous that she went crazy! At this moment, she even forgot that when she was at home, Xu Shan would ask her, ''Xinya, what do you want to eat? Mom will make it for you...'' When a person''s emotions fall into conflicts and intensification, all he can think of is full of negative emotions¡ª ¡­ At noon, lunch was ready, and Xu Shan knew that Lan Xinya didn''t want to go downstairs without asking. As a mother, she couldn''t be more clear about the daughter she raised and Lan Xinya''s character. So Xu Shan went upstairs with the meal, and knocked on the door of Lan Xinya''s room, "Xinya, open the door, mom has brought you the meal." (end of this chapter) Chapter 262: sample Chapter 262 Sample Hearing what Xu Shan said, Lan Xinya didn''t appreciate it at all! She was conflicted in her heart, thinking about what Xu Shan had said to Lan Shu when she was downstairs. Mom''s braised chicken and rice, no matter how delicious it is, it''s for Lan Shu, she won''t eat it! So, the room was quiet, and Lan Xinya didn''t intend to open the door at all. Seeing this situation, Xu Shan felt a little helpless. "Xinya, mom knows that you don''t want to go down to meet Shushu. Mom won''t force you, and she won''t ask you to get along with Shushu anymore." Xu Shan said, sighed, and continued, "It''s rare for Shushu to go home, don''t lose your temper, eat something, don''t starve yourself." After Xu Shan finished speaking, she shook her head slightly when she heard that there was still no movement in the room. "Xinya, that mother left the food at the door of your room. If you are hungry, you can come out and get it." After finishing speaking, Xu Shan gently placed the served food in front of Lan Xinya''s door, and then went downstairs. In the room, even after hearing what her mother said, Lan Xinya didn''t plan to come out. She was suffocating in her heart! She told herself that no matter what, she would never eat what her mother made for Lan Shu! She would rather be hungry than tell her parents about her attitude! However, what Lan Xinya didn''t know was that when she was hiding at home and angry with her parents, in the business district of Kyoto, the fact that the Lan family had two daughters, one biological and one whose details were unknown, had become a topic of gossip among many people. ¡ª The daughters of merchants who used to have a good relationship with Lan Xinya now know that Lan Xinya is not the biological daughter of the Lan family, and their attitude towards her has completely changed! Last night, Liu Qian, who attended the business dinner with Lan Xinya, even said to others¡ª ''No wonder Mr. Gu canceled the engagement with Lan Xinya at the beginning. A man like Mr. Gu who has a successful career really looks down on Lan Xinya, a woman of unknown origin...'' As for Lan Shu, the biological daughter who was announced by Lan Weicheng himself, many people in the circle started talking about her because of Gu Cheng''s overtures to her and her relationship with the young master of the Gu family. All the discussions can be summed up, that is, ''The biological daughter of the Lan family is rich and well-connected, if possible, try to make friends. '' ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu had a delicious lunch at home, and instead of going back in a hurry in the afternoon, she asked Xu Shan to go shopping together. Recently, summer clothes are selling very well. Lan Shu saw that Xu Shan was still wearing last year''s old clothes, so she had the idea of ??taking her mother to buy clothes. Of course Xu Shan would not refuse her daughter''s invitation. While the two were talking, Xu Shan thought again that her daughter had asked the driver to come home for dinner at noon, and that''s when she realized that her family had actually bought a car! This time Shushu came to Kyoto, she came by private car. My daughter''s car, as a mother, I definitely want to take a ride. So the mother and daughter basically didn''t delay after dinner, and soon went out in the car. With a car, it is very convenient to go anywhere, so the mother and daughter walked around the clothing store and bought a bunch of things. After that, I took a car to Huaxia Shopping Mall. Lan Shu casually chatted while shopping, and she didn''t know that Xu Shan didn''t have any skin care products at home. Lan Weicheng usually only cares about making money, he is not careful enough as a big man, he doesn''t know how to bring useful things for his wife. Fortunately, Xu Shan still has a daughter named Lan Shu, so when Xu Shan went back by car at night, Lan Shu''s trunk had already put half of the clothes, shoes and skin care products in the trunk. All of these were bought by Lan Shu for her mother. Xu Shan is good to her, as a daughter, she should also honor her parents. ¡­ Monday, it''s time to go to work again. In the morning, Lan Shu left the house after eight o''clock. Before going out, drink a bowl of eight-treasure porridge cooked by Aunt Man, and eat two meat buns brought from Lan''s house yesterday, Xu Shan made by herself, full of happiness. The buns were re-steamed by Auntie Man in the morning. They are white, soft and steaming. When going out, Lan Shu specially took a few more, and when she met the driver, Master Zhang, she asked him to taste it too. At 8:30 in the morning, Lan Shu took a car and came to the vicinity of Huaxia Shopping Center, the small courtyard she rented before for the research and development and production of skin care products and cosmetics. When she came to Kyoto this time, she hadn''t had time to see Chen Ping and Zhou Di''s cosmetics research and development. Lan Shu didn''t inform the two of her arrival in advance. This time, she came here as a random check on the production of skin care products. Arrived at the small courtyard, opened the door and entered, the courtyard exudes a strong fragrance of flowers. The fragrance of various flowers is combined together, because of the pure plant, it does not appear pungent, but it has a refreshing feeling of being in a sea of ??flowers. In the small and medium buildings in the courtyard, there are busy workers in every room. Lan Shu looked around and found that everyone was working hard and diligently, which made her very satisfied. Today Zhou Di is managing the production of essential oil soap in the courtyard, while Chen Ping is in the small courtyard. Seeing the boss coming, Chen Ping immediately put down what she was doing and came out to report to Lan Shu. "Boss, I have made some samples of the eye shadow and powder that you mentioned last month, and I have made more than a dozen kinds of lipstick colors. I have recorded the ratio of each color, even if I do it next time, The color will not be much different from the sample." Speaking, Chen Ping led Lan Shu towards the sample room upstairs. Because there is enough time, Chen Ping''s cosmetic samples have been perfected in the past month. As Lan Shu said at the beginning, the eye shadows are matched according to the color system, and the sweet style is composed of eight colors of different shades. The color blocks of natural wind and smoky makeup are also combinations of eight colors. The selection of these colors was made by Chen Ping after repeated matching. She even went to the cosmetics counter to learn about makeup with Yanjuan and the other two female tellers before choosing the color matching. Chen Ping was able to match these color systems, much beyond Lan Shu''s expectations. At first, she thought she had to choose the color by herself, but she didn''t expect Chen Ping, a researcher, to handle the color matching very well. According to Chen Ping''s introduction, the colors of these eye shadows are all plant and mineral colors, strictly in accordance with Lanshu''s requirements, so that they are pure plants without additives. This made Lan Shu very satisfied. In addition to lipstick and eye shadow, Chen Ping also made powdered powder. Lan Shu tried it on the back of her hand. The concealer effect is good, but the particles are not fine enough. If it is applied on the face, there will inevitably be floating powder. However, I think that if it is used with liquid foundation, then there is no need to rub too much powder on the face, and it is only used to set the makeup, so that the makeup effect will be much better. Following this idea, Lan Shu asked about Chen Ping''s research and development of liquid foundation. "The liquid foundation is still under research. In fact, several types have been made before, but they are not moisturizing enough. After using it on the face for more than two hours, the skin becomes dry..." "Try adding some essential oils, which can lock in water and moisturize." Lan Shu proposed an idea. Chen Ping heard it, thought about it seriously, and then nodded, "I''ll try again!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 263: thirty percent Chapter 263 Thirty percent When Chen Ping started to do research, Lan Shu didn''t want to disturb her. She walked around the rooms of the small building by herself, checking the stock of skin care products by the way. There is a room on the second floor dedicated to storing skin care products. Two workers are packing skin care products into large cardboard boxes. It is said that they will be sent to the counter of the mall later. "Is it out of stock again at the counter in the mall?" she asked. "Yes, we have to deliver goods to the counter every morning. Sometimes the business at the counter is too good, and Manager Yan will send someone to come and notify, and then deliver goods in the afternoon." The worker replied. Let people be notified¡­ Although it is not far from Huaxia Shopping Center, it takes about ten minutes to walk, and it takes a trip to deliver the message, which is really troublesome. And sometimes when I contact Chen Ping and the others, I have to ask someone to help pass the message. From this point of view, it is necessary to install a landline phone on the Xiaolou side. Current installation of landline telephones requires cables, and the cost of installation and cables for a phone costs 5,000 yuan. In addition to the high cost of the initial installation of the phone, the phone call is not cheap, and it costs 50 cents per minute. Although the cost of installing and using the phone is high, it will indeed be much more convenient to use the phone after it is installed. So Lan Shu didn''t hesitate, and planned to go to the Communications Bureau if she was free recently, and apply for the installation of a landline phone. In addition to this side, Lan Shu plans to install a phone in the courtyard, so that both parties can communicate easily. As for the shopping mall counter, there is no need to install it yet. There are paid public phones in the mall, and Lan Weicheng is on the second floor almost every day, so you can just call him if you have something to do, and you don¡¯t need to install a landline for the counter separately. ¡­ Lan Shu didn''t stay at the cosmetics R&D and production building for too long in the morning, and she has to go to the TV station for a meeting later. By chance last week, she was able to attend the weekly regular meeting of the TV station with the deputy director of the TV station. At the regular meeting, Lan Shu learned about the TV drama project led by the Ministry of Culture. For this project, she and the other party have initially reached a cooperation intention in the last meeting. This morning, the two former leaders of the Ministry of Culture will bring the director, producer, and screenwriter of the TV series together, and have a detailed discussion with Lan Shu about investing in the filming of the TV series. At 9:30 in the morning, Lan Shu arrived at the TV station from the small building where cosmetics were produced and developed. Walking into the gate of the TV station, she walked directly towards the conference room on the second floor¡ª Halfway up the stairs, Lan Shu met Cui Nian who was hurrying downstairs. "Producer Lan, you are here, you go to the meeting room to rest first, I will go downstairs to pick up someone." Cui Nian said. Lan Shu nodded, then went upstairs and turned right into the conference room. At this time in the meeting room, the director and deputy director had arrived ahead of schedule, and several important leaders in the station were also present. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Deputy Director Zhu Hong immediately got up and led Lan Shu to sit at the front of the conference room. Today''s meeting is different from the usual regular meeting on the stage. As the future investor of the TV series, Lan Shu is a VIP on the stage today, so she must sit in the top seat! In the conference room, everyone waited for more than ten minutes before seeing Cui Nian leading five or six people into the office. The two people led by ?? are no strangers to Lan Shu. She only met last week. They are the two leaders of the cultural department. Four people followed behind them, two men and two women. Among them, the oldest is about forty years old, and the youngest is in his thirties. After being introduced by two leaders of the Ministry of Culture, Lan Shu learned the identities of several people. The screenwriter and director are men, both in their thirties, the director is Duan Lei, and the screenwriter is Luo Xiu. The other two women, the younger one, in her thirties, is the producer of the next TV series, named Mao Li. The other oldest one is the costume and props master of the upcoming TV series. Originally this meeting did not require the participation of prop masters, but Yao Jin heard that TV drama investors are willing to increase the investment budget, and is determined to make the final presentation of the TV drama even more exciting! She was very curious about what kind of investors believed in them so much, so she came here to meet the investors. Now that people saw her, Yao Jin found out that the other party was such a young girl! So almost on the spot, Yao Jin, who is a costume prop designer, and Duan Lei, the director, were wondering whether the little girl really had the financial resources to invest in filming TV dramas? Regarding this, Lan Shu didn''t need to repeat whether she had money at all. She looked at the screenwriter Luo Xiu and asked about the filming content of the TV series. Luo Xiu had already prepared for this. He showed Lan Shu the script he had handwritten word by word. While Lan Shu was reading the script, he also summarized the content of the TV series. Literati in this era write very rigorously. Lan Shu reads every word very carefully. It can be seen that this script has been meticulously thought out and written very well. As for the plot, according to what Luo Xiu said, this is a mythological TV series, and the world view is that immortals, demons, and humans coexist. Monsters do harm to the world, immortals accept human beings as apprentices, human beings are successful in cultivation, and the story of eliminating demons and defending Taoism. This kind of fantasy story is a very novel theme for people in this era! As long as the plot is passable, it will definitely attract a large number of audiences after filming! So after reading a part of the script and listening to the screenwriter''s description of the general plot direction of the story, Lan Shu no longer has any doubts about this investment. "I voted for this drama. As for how much money you need, you can talk about your thoughts now." Lan Shu said. When it came time to talk about investment, Mao Li, the producer of the TV series, said slowly, "We have no objection to the advertising fee of 10,000 yuan, and we still have some money for the rest of the investment, so we don''t need too much. Fifty thousand is enough." "As for the investment profit share you mentioned, Miss Lan, we can give you up to 30%." Mao Li said. 35,000 to buy 30% of the shares, this investment is a good deal in Lan Shu''s opinion. It''s just that her idea of ??buying more shares cannot be realized... But if the filming of this TV series is successful, then she may consider continuing to invest in other TV series as a producer in the future. At that time, she will be fully funded and fully profitable! In the conference room, after the two parties discussed the details of the TV series and investment, the two directors of the TV station served as witnesses. Lan Shu promises to pay 20,000 yuan within ten days as the first investment. When the filming of the TV series officially starts in the second half of the year, she will pay the remaining 25,000 in full. Regarding this investment method, the TV drama production team agreed. So the two parties signed the contract on the spot¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 264: Get ill Chapter 264 Sick When she came out of the TV station, Lan Shu smiled and shook hands with director Duan Lei, screenwriter Luo Xiu, producer Mao Li, and prop master Yao Jin. "I hope the next filming will go well." She said, looking at the producer Mao Li. Lan Shu can tell that Mao Li is a strong woman with a strong sense of career, and the other party can make people feel that she is reliable when she speaks. That''s why she feels relieved about this investment. "It will go well." Mao Li said, after a moment of hesitation, she asked Lan Shu, "When the actors are cast, welcome to come and choose together." Originally, casting is the job of the director and producer, as long as the two of them pass it, they can be selected. But Mao Li thought that Miss Lan also spent money on this TV series. The filming of the TV series was all due to Miss Lan''s money, so she broke the rules and gave Lan Shu the right to choose actors. Regarding this matter, Lan Shu didn''t force herself to intervene in the other party''s casting, but since the producer proposed, she definitely wanted to participate. After all, the success of casting is very important to the shooting of TV dramas. Lan Shu still hopes to choose some suitable actors to participate in the filming, so as to make the TV series better in the end. "I will definitely come then." She said. Hearing Lan Shu, the investor''s answer, Mao Li smiled and nodded, "Then we''ll see you in a month." It is expected that the selection of roles will be scheduled for next month. "Okay, see you next month then." After Lan Shu finished speaking, she watched them leave¡ª ¡­ Same time, the other side. The weekend rest day is over. Today, Lan Xinya goes to work in the factory and comes out for lunch. For lunch, she eats beef noodles at a restaurant outside the factory, and a bowl for fifty cents is enough to fill her stomach. Yesterday she was at home and didn''t eat anything except lunch, and she didn''t go downstairs at night. Hungry for a day, that experience is quite difficult! So this morning, she ate four meat buns at the breakfast shop! There is also a bowl of porridge. I ordered two bowls of beef noodles at noon. I planned to eat a little more, so I stopped eating when I went home at night. As a result, when she ate half of the two bowls of noodles, her stomach started to hurt¡ª Because of her physical condition, Lan Xinya had to miss work in the afternoon and went to the hospital. After repeated examinations, the doctor told her that her diet was unbalanced and she had acute gastroenteritis. This disease is not a major illness, but it is quite uncomfortable when it occurs and requires a short hospitalization. Lan Xinya was lying on the hospital bed, her stomach ached and she was sweating all over. Although she was holding a bottle in her hand, her pain could not be relieved for a while. In addition to physical discomfort, she also felt very uncomfortable. One is that she feels sorry for her illness, and the other is that Lan Xinya realizes that she no longer has much money to pay for her medical expenses in the hospital! While shopping last month, Lan Xinya bought a new dress for the season, but was still worried about not having the right sandals. After she got paid this month, she went to the mall immediately to buy a pair of beautiful new sandals. Originally, the remaining money of Lan Xinya was planned to be enough for this month, but two days ago, because she was going to participate in the mid-year dinner of the chamber of commerce, she didn''t have suitable clothes for the dinner, so she went to the mall to buy another set of clothes. So Lan Xinya doesn''t have much money left. Now she is going to be hospitalized again, and it costs money to take medicine and get a bottle. Lan Xinya even wondered if she could settle the medical expenses with the hospital when she was discharged from the hospital? If she has no money to pay by then, it would be a shame! This made Lan Xinya very anxious. In the end, she chose to let the hospital call to tell her family the news of her hospitalization. Xu Shan was not at home because of work, so she called Lan Weicheng''s big brother directly. Learning that the adopted girl was sick and hospitalized, Lan Weicheng, who was still busy at the counter of the mall, went straight to the hospital without saying a word¡ª After arriving, Lan Weicheng was busy and asked the doctor about his daughter''s condition. Staying by his daughter''s hospital bed, seeing her suffering, he felt very distressed... After all, he was a child raised by himself, and Lan Weicheng had never seen Lan Xinya in such pain. The old father was quite anxious, and blamed himself over and over again, "It''s all my fault that Dad didn''t care enough for you and didn''t take good care of you. When you get better, you must eat well and don''t get sick again." Speaking of this, Lan Weicheng has decided to restore Xinya''s monthly pocket money when Xinya is discharged from the hospital. He felt that it must be because Xinya didn''t pay enough, so she was hungry and full, and didn''t take good care of herself, which caused her health problems. Lan Xinya looked at her father worrying about her so much. She didn''t know if the pain in her body was due to the effect of the medicine, but it gradually became less painful. At this moment, she even felt that her illness was timely! It is enough for my father to care so much about my own illness and not even get angry with him anymore. Although Lan Weicheng hasn''t said anything yet, Lan Xinya knows that the conflicts between her and Lan Shu in the past few months, her behavior against Lan Shu, and her silent going to the business dinner the day before yesterday, all of them are in this day and night. After the illness, all will pass together¡ª She suddenly found a way to win the attention of her parents and stabilize their love! ¡­ The next day, even Lan Shu knew about Lan Xinya''s illness and hospitalization. The reason why she learned about this was that her father, Lan Weicheng, called and said that Lan Xinya was sick and wanted to see her. Lan Shu was very surprised by Lan Xinya''s illness, and she had to see her own behavior when she was ill... Could it be that the heroine has some terminal illness and is about to die? When she went to the hospital by car, she realized that Lan Xinya was only hospitalized with acute gastroenteritis. She had a stomachache yesterday, but she is fine today. At the moment, Lan Xinya is under the care of Xu Shan, drinking the easy-to-digest spinach batter. Seeing Lan Xinya was fine, but Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were beside her, asking for warmth and caring, Lan Shu wondered if Lan Xinya wanted to see her, did she make a special trip to see her get her parents? Beloved? It''s not that Lan Shu has a dark mind, but that the smug look she gave Lan Xinya at the first time she saw Lan Xinya already explained too much. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Lan Xinya asked her mother to put the food aside first, then she looked weak and said to her¡ª "Lan Shu, I figured it out when I was sick this time. I did something wrong in the past. I hope you can forgive me, and we will get along well in the future." Lan Shu:? ? ? She didn''t believe what Lan Xinya said! Even though Lan Xinya apologized, her apology was not sincere at all. On the contrary, Lan Shu felt that such a Lan Xinya...why is she a little teasing? The heroine had a minor illness and directly changed her gender? But no matter what Lan Xinya had in mind, she didn''t care. What she thinks and wants to do has never been a small matter of intrigue among women. With that skill, isn¡¯t it good to do business and make money? (end of this chapter) Chapter 265: pager Chapter 265 Pager Two days later, Lan Xinya was discharged from the hospital. At this time, Lan Shu was lying down in the mansion and making a phone call. Tens of thousands of investment and hundreds of thousands of capital flows were arranged by her at will. On the phone today, Liu Axing, the acting deputy director of the garment factory, told Lan Shu good news¡ª "Director Lan, the first row and second row of our staff dormitory have been completed, and the third row is also in the final stage. The first two rows of walls have also been painted. After a few days of drying, the workers can move in there. !" Speaking of this incident, Liu Axing was very happy. In the future, those workers who come to work in Qingyang County from other places will not need to rent a house outside, and several people will live in one house. Furthermore, Pan Finance can also move to the staff dormitory, and he can also take over his family''s wife and son. If there are more rooms in the staff dormitory, then she also plans to live in the staff dormitory in the future, so that the journey to work every day can be much shorter. Lan Shu was also very happy when she heard the news, but she immediately explained to Liu Axing without hesitation about getting the employees to move in early¡ª "Don''t be in a hurry to move in. The new house is not dry enough, it''s cold and cold, and the walls that have just been painted need to be opened more to avoid the smell." Nowadays, there is no latex paint for wall painting, just white putty powder. Without adding other paints, there is no formaldehyde in the putty painting wall. However, after the putty powder is applied, a layer of green dado is usually painted in the house to prevent dirt. The dado of this kind of paint will smell of paint, and it needs to be dried more. Facing Director Lan¡¯s instructions, Liu Axing resolutely obeyed, ¡°Okay Director Lan, I¡¯ll let the workers move in after a month or so until the smell of paint in the house dissipates.¡± In addition to the completion of the staff dormitory, Lan Shu is also very concerned about the construction progress of the staff canteen. After Liu Axing finished reporting on the staff dormitory, the next one was the staff canteen and the big bathhouse. "Factory Manager, the staff canteen has been built, and the doors, windows and staff dormitory were installed around the same time, and they can be used at any time now." After hearing Liu Axing''s words, Lan Shu said, "Yes." "Then let''s start recruiting chefs in the factory, one chef, two assistants, and four canteen handymen." There are currently more than 200 employees in their factory, and the configuration in the cafeteria is enough for the time being. In the future, there will be more workers in the factory, and there will be time to recruit people to the cafeteria. Liu Axing replied, "Okay." Then talked about the situation of the bathhouse, "The bathhouse has also been built. Recently, the interior is being glued with tiles. The furnace has also been ordered on the boiler side. It is said that it will be delivered in half a month. When the boiler is installed, the bathhouse will be completely completed." Speaking of this, Liu A Xing''s voice naturally stopped, waiting for the factory director''s next arrangement. Lan Shu, explain immediately. "It''s hot now, and the bathhouse is still unusable. Let''s put it aside and start using it in mid-September." "Before this, ask the county if there are any good boiler masters. If there are any, make an appointment with someone. Then sign a long-term recruitment contract with the factory." The current bathhouses all need to burn boilers. Whether the bathhouses are running well or not requires high technical requirements for the boiler master. The water temperature must be kept good, neither too hot nor too cold. It is difficult to find such a skilled boiler master. If you can find it, you must sign a contract to prevent the boiler master from suddenly changing jobs, and the bathhouse will not be able to continue. Liu Axing wrote down the instructions of Director Lan one by one. After talking on the phone with Liu Axing, it has been more than ten minutes. In the case of two-way billing for telephone bills, it costs 1 yuan a minute to make and receive calls on the mobile phone, and 50 cents to make and receive calls from landlines in the factory. At this moment, I have already incurred a phone bill of about 20 yuan, which is worth half a month''s wages of an ordinary factory worker in the city. With the telephone, communication is convenient, but the cost is also high, and most people really can¡¯t afford it. Even Lan Shu, who opened a factory to do big business, can save as much as possible. Except for necessary work reports and Xiaobai''s phone calls, the rest of the time will never be wasted! Thinking of this, Lan Shu suddenly realized that after Xiaobai returned to the capital, he hadn''t come to look for her in the past two days? Not even a phone call... ¡­ At this time, Xiaobai is dealing with the affairs of the electronics company. One of the reasons why he came back to Kyoto this time is that the pager developed by the company is about to be released. As the major shareholder of the electronics company, his attendance is inevitable for the company''s first new product release. In the past two days, Xiaobai has already arranged the promotion and sales of the pager, and rented it at the counter of the mall. After the newspaper is published tomorrow, the pager will officially start selling. About the series of sales and operation processes, when Xiaobai was in Qingyang County, he observed the operation models of garment factories and toilet paper factories, as well as the counters opened by the Lan family in Kyoto, and he copied them directly. Xue Chuang, who is in charge of electronic research and development, is more talented in business than Xiaobai. After being arranged by Xiaobai, he will take over the rest of the work directly, so Xiaobai doesn''t need to worry about it. Xiao Bai went to the company today, and after signing a few documents, he chose a pager for himself and Lan Shu. Although Lan Shu uses ''Big Brother'', it is not completely useless to have the pager with her. The pager can receive messages. If Lan Shu wants to find him, he can use ''big brother'' to call his pager, and he will receive the caller number, so he can find a place to call Lan Shu in time. And the pager can also simply send messages. The ordinary version of the pager developed by Xue Chuang can only receive numbers, but the upgraded version can already display Chinese characters within the character limit. In this way, when he misses Lan Shu, he can send a message to Lan Shu in text form. Received two brand-new pagers, Xiaobai fastened one to his waist, and the other set off immediately, and sent it to Lanshu¡ª ¡­ At this time, Lan Shu just muttered in her heart that Xiao Bai didn''t come to see her, and then received a call from an unfamiliar number. The phone was picked up, and the next second, she heard an unfamiliar voice. "Lan Shu, I''m Li Jiaojiao, are you free today? I want to invite you to my studio." Li Jiaojiao said at the dinner party before that she opened a custom shoe studio and said that she wanted to design the most beautiful shoes. Although Lan Shu is keen on making money, who can not love spending money? That is, she opened her own clothing factory, so she didn''t have to buy what she wore. As for shoes, since the shopping malls are full of popular goods, there is really no room for choice, so she only has three or four pairs of shoes throughout the year. If Li Jiaojiao''s studio really has good-looking shoes, then she must buy a few more pairs to wear. So Lan Shu immediately agreed to come down, and called the front desk of the guest house where the driver, Master Zhang lived, and asked the staff of the guest house to inform Master Zhang to drive to pick her up. (end of this chapter) Chapter 266: shoe store Chapter 266 Shoe Store Li Jiaojiao''s shoe customization studio is located in Huayang shopping mall. The reputation of Huayang Shopping Center and Huaxia Shopping Center can be said to be neck and neck in Kyoto. It¡¯s just that one is in the West District and the other is in the East District, which are relatively far apart. The car drove to the shopping mall. Lan Shu got out of the car and was about to go upstairs when she suddenly received another call. "Lan Shu, are you not home?" ¡ª¡ªXiaobai called from the other side of the phone. Half an hour ago, she was still wondering why Xiaobai didn''t contact her these days? Not long after, I received a call from Xiao Bai. Lan Shu even felt that she had some power of thought that could be felt by Xiaobai? She only had this thought in her mind for a moment, and then replied, "I''m going out, what do you need from me?" "It''s okay, um... are you okay?" Xiaobai asked. It''s rare to hear Xiaobai''s hesitant tone, and Xiaobai''s answer is obviously to find himself for something. Lan Shu was even a little curious about what Xiaobai was going to do? So she replied, "I''m fine, I''m just out shopping. If you want to find me, you can come to Huayang Mall." "Address?" "Four Seasons shoe store on the third floor of Huayang Mall." Lan Shu replied. The custom shoe studio opened by Li Jiaojiao is called Four Seasons Shoes Store, which means that it takes care of the shoes of the customers in the store all year round. This name is easy to understand and easy to remember. On the opposite side, Xiao Bai learned of Lan Shu''s location, and said, "I''ll go there right away, and then ended the call." Knowing that Xiaobai will come, Lan Shu is ready to buy two pairs of shoes if Li Jiaojiao''s shop really has a lot of styles later. Walking up to the third floor, the signboard erected at the entrance of the Four Seasons shoe store was very conspicuous. As soon as Lan Shu went upstairs, she saw the location of the shoe store. And Li Jiaojiao is moving a chair at the moment, sitting at the door and waiting for someone. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Li Jiaojiao immediately got up and walked this way quickly¡ª She walked and said, "Lan Shu, you are here!" Obviously, she was waiting for her specially. As for Li Jiaojiao, although she only met once, Lan Shu felt that they hit it off quite well. Apart from their identities, their two personalities are also relatively compatible. Li Jiaojiao''s straightforwardness and simplicity are the reasons why she can be friends. At least when she was with Li Jiaojiao, Lan Shu felt that she didn''t have to worry about others playing tricks on her. Walking into the store with Li Jiaojiao, the store is about fifty or sixty square meters, surrounded by some tables covered with black velvet cloth, and there are many shoes on the table. Just like the name of the store, the Four Seasons shoe store displays shoes for all seasons, including spring, summer, autumn and winter. "Lan Shu, take a look at my newly designed sandals." Li Jiaojiao is very confident about her designs. Lan Shu followed Li Jiaojiao''s introduction. Unlike most of the plastic sandals and black leather sandals with obvious black lines on the market, the sandals in Li Jiaojiao''s store have a variety of colors. In addition to black sandals, there are four colors of red, yellow, brown, and milky white. The colors are diverse, and the styles are more detailed than those on the market. Especially a milky white sandal, which is different from the traditional shoe buckle, but made of thin and long straps, which can be wrapped around the ankles with thin straps to form a bow after wearing the shoes. There is also a pair of brown sandals, made of suede material, and leather tassels are added to the ankles to make it feel retro. Sure enough, Li Jiaojiao does have a talent for shoe design, and these two shoes of hers will not be outdated even after twenty years. Besides, Li Jiaojiao saw Lan Shu''s obsessive observation of the shoes she designed. She was very happy that someone could appreciate her designs. "Lan Shu, take a quick look, if there are shoes you like, I''ll give them to you!" Li Jiaojiao said immediately. Lan Shu heard that, looked up at Li Jiaojiao, and shook her head lightly, "You don''t need to send them away, as I said, if you have shoes I like, I will cheer you on." After finishing speaking, she pointed to the two pairs of shoes she liked, and said, "These two models are in size thirty-seven. I will also order two pairs." Any shoe will wear out if you wear it too much. When you meet your favorite shoes, you must buy two pairs, so that you can wear the style longer. Hearing what Lan Shu said, Li Jiaojiao knew that Lan Shu really liked her designs. She knew that Lan Shu was not short of money at all, and since Lan Shu insisted on buying it, she couldn''t keep pushing. Lan Shu bought her shoes today, after that she will go buy more skin care products~ After thinking this through, Li Jiaojiao immediately ordered the clerk to pack up the shoes that Lan Shu wanted in stock, and send the shoes that were not in stock to Lan Shu when they were ordered. It was also at this time that Lan Shu knew that Li Jiaojiao''s shoe store was really handmade, and each pair of shoes took time to complete, and they were not mass-produced by the factory. So of the four pairs of shoes she wants to buy this time, she can only take away two pairs today. Fortunately, each style is in stock, so she can wear the shoes soon~! After buying the shoes, Lan Shu was not in a hurry to leave, but chatted with Li Jiaojiao in the store for a while. She found that the business of Li Jiaojiao''s shoe store was really not that good compared to other stores in the mall. Huayang shopping mall has a lot of people, and Li Jiaojiao''s store is near the stairs, so it can be said to be a very busy place. But the shoes in her store are sometimes too trendy for the public, so not many people can accept them. In addition, there are shoes for the four seasons in her store. Nowadays, people buy things that are in season, and they have no idea of ??stocking up. And the shoes sold out of season make people feel that the business in her store is too bad, and the shoes can''t be sold. Such a bad store will definitely not have any good things, so many potential customers who come to shop are screened out. Various reasons lead to Li Jiaojiao''s store being large, but there are very few customers. Lan Shu has been in the store for more than half an hour. Except for her, the Four Seasons shoe store has not sold a pair of shoes! Such a situation even made Lan Shu wonder if Li Jiaojiao''s monthly profit can be equal to the rent of the store, the wages of the employees, and the wages of the handmade shoemakers? This really feels like generating electricity for love. Lan Shu thinks that such a shoe store should change its thinking, instead of selling cheap goods to the public, it should be a gimmick of high-end customization for fame? Her idea is just an idea now, how to implement it needs to be carefully thought out. Lan Shu was thinking about it when suddenly someone walked into the store. Immediately afterwards, a Jiao Didi was so recognizable that Lan Shu would think of a voice coming from the door¡ª "Cousin Jiaojiao, you are here, I''m here to buy a pair of shoes." Following the voice, Lan Shu raised her head and saw Li Xuan in a light yellow dress, appearing in her line of sight. (end of this chapter) Chapter 267: There are four or five generations Chapter 267 There are four or five generations Is Li Jiaojiao Li Xuan''s cousin? This knowledge really surprised Lan Shu! Although both of them are surnamed Li, it is true, but one is a neighbor in the same compound as Xiao Bai. According to Lan Shu''s observation, Li Xuan came from an ordinary working family. The other is the daughter of the chairman of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. She came back from studying abroad and has a wealthy family. From the perspective of family background, these two people should not have any relationship. But now she heard Li Xuan calling her cousin Li Jiaojiao? Besides, Li Jiaojiao also heard Li Xuan''s voice. She raised her head and looked at Li Xuan, her eyes were indifferent, and she even had a feeling that she didn''t like to be seen. "Who is your cousin? Our relatives are separated by four or five generations." What Li Jiaojiao said, it is obvious that she and Li Xuan are not on good terms. Ordinary distant relatives should not speak like this, no matter how far away they are. So Lan Shu can be sure that there should be some conflict between Li Jiaojiao and Li Xuan. Being so disrespected by Li Jiaojiao, Li Xuan was very magnanimous. She still used her delicate voice, and said in a delicate and pitiful tone, "Cousin, I heard that the business of your store in Huayang Shopping Center is not good, so I came here specially to support..." Li Xuan''s words sounded like she was thinking of others and cheering them up, but it actually hurt Li Jiaojiao''s ears! The business in her store is not good, if it is said from an annoying mouth, no matter what attitude or tone the other party has, it is no different from ridicule! So Li Jiaojiao glared at Li Xuan directly, "You don''t need to join us. With your family''s conditions, buying one or two pairs of shoes can support my store''s business?" What Li Jiaojiao said was not polite at all! She doesn''t want to do Li Xuan''s business. Li Xuan might have guessed that this would be the result before she came, so she wasn''t annoyed, but turned her eyes to Lan Shu who was beside Li Jiaojiao. "Miss Lan is here too. I didn''t expect that Miss Lan and my cousin also know each other. It''s not easy to make friends with my cousin. It''s really embarrassing for Miss Lan." These words came out of Li Xuan''s mouth and passed into Lan Shu''s ears. Lan Shu found that she was not surprised at all! Isn''t the Li Xuan she knows the most who likes to say meaningful things! ? When she met Li Xuan for the first time, Lan Shu thought she might be thinking too much. But judging from her subsequent contact and now, she is glad that she has a keen sense. Facing what Li Xuan pretended to say casually, Lan Shu held back Li Jiaojiao who was about to explode with an angry expression on her face. She smiled slightly, and turned back to Li Xuan, "It''s not easy being friends with Jiaojiao? Why didn''t I feel it?" She said, and then showed a suddenly realized expression, "It seems that my popularity is quite good, and I can get along with everyone. If Miss Li finds it difficult to get along with others, then you have to look for your own problems. , see what is the reason why others don''t want to play with you?" When Lan Shu said this, Li Xuan on the other side changed her expression on the spot¡ª And Li Jiaojiao beside Lan Shu felt relieved? But Li Xuan is not as restless as Lan Xinya, her city is deep~ On her face, the gloomy expression only appeared for a moment, and the next second, she was pure, innocent, and pitiful again. "I really envy Miss Lan, who can have such a good relationship with anyone~" Li Xuan said, with an envious look on her face. After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Jiaojiao without leaving a trace, and Lan Shu saw this subtle move clearly. This is secretly mocking Li Jiaojiao for being difficult to get along with, so he turns to provoke the relationship between her and Li Jiaojiao? Let Li Jiaojiao feel that she has many friends, and she is not short of one at all, so she doesn''t have to have a good relationship with her? Thinking about this clearly, Lan Shu really thinks that Li Xuan has a kind of ''tea'' that she can learn without a teacher! Li Xuan is less than eighteen years old this year, right? With this ability, she can be regarded as an extraordinary talent¡ª Facing Li Xuan''s provocation, Lan Shu just smiled lightly. Then she turned her head and said to Li Jiaojiao who was beside her, "Speaking of good relationships, although I have a good relationship, most of them are with subordinates, employees and partners around me, and I really don''t have many friends." As she spoke, she even counted on her fingers, "Probably I was a friend of Gu Jue before, and I know you now." Needless to say the word friend, Lan Shu''s words have already made Li Jiaojiao understand that she really treats herself as a friend. And judging from Lan Shu''s tone, he is still Lan Shu''s only friend! As for Lan Shu''s first friend, Gu Jue... Li Jiaojiao feels that Gu Jue may not be Lan Shu''s friend, and their relationship will definitely be more than just friends in the future, so it seems that she is Lan Shu''s only friend! After the logic was clear, Li Jiaojiao immediately felt at ease~! She bent her eyes, in such a good mood that she couldn''t stop smiling¡ª This scene made Li Xuan, who was standing in front of the Four Seasons shoe store, feel as though she had been blocked several times from her ''shots''. She has used many successful words in school on weekdays, but in front of Lan Shu, it seems to have no effect at all, and sometimes she even gets angry with herself! Just as she was thinking, Li Xuan heard Lan Shu say something to her distant cousin Li Jiaojiao. "Jiaojiao, the styles of shoes in your store are really good-looking. Regardless of whether Li Xuan is your relative or not, since she has a good eye and wants to buy shoes, then sell them to her." "Although I don''t expect her sales of one or two orders to increase the store''s revenue, but if you open the door to do business, no matter how small a mosquito is, it''s still meat, isn''t it?" No matter how small the mosquito is... Li Xuan felt that she was getting angry! Originally, she came here for the reason of cheering Li Jiaojiao, and she planned to flatter Li Jiaojiao. But now, when he came to the store to buy shoes by himself, he became an insignificant ''little mosquito'' in Lan Shu''s mouth? Moreover, Lan Shu also said that she came to buy shoes because of her good vision. Then if you don¡¯t buy it yourself, does it prove that you have poor vision? Li Xuan took a deep look at Lan Shu, and she realized that this was the first time she met an ''opponent''. This Lan Shu, first praised herself, saying that she has good eyesight, and later belittled herself, saying that she is a ''little mosquito''. This woman''s communication skills are simply beyond her own! On the opposite side, when Li Jiaojiao heard this, although she didn''t understand the twists and turns in the words of the two people around her, but seeing that Lan Shu had opened her mouth, she took it as a way to give Lan Shu face and not reject Li Xuan. "If you want to buy those shoes, you can choose them yourself." Li Jiaojiao said to Li Xuan in a generous tone. This made Li Xuan, who was already suffocating, feel even angrier! But she is the most calm person! Li Xuan gritted her back molars and tried her best to endure it, then looked at Li Jiaojiao and Lan Shu calmly. "By the way, it suddenly occurred to me that I bought a pair of sandals last year, but I haven''t worn them once, so..." (end of this chapter) Chapter 268: corny Chapter 268 Old-fashioned Li Xuan actually has no plans to buy shoes today. Even if she did, she would not buy shoes in Li Jiaojiao''s shop. Asking her to wear the shoes designed by Li Jiaojiao, she felt terrified! So at the moment she is looking for a good reason for herself not to buy shoes. Hearing Li Xuan''s half-speaking, Li Jiaojiao frowned slightly reflexively. In her eyes, Li Xuan used to talk like this and hide half of it since she was a child! Although she and Li Xuan are distant relatives, they did meet often for two or three years when they were young. Li Jiaojiao has a hearty personality, and she can''t stand Li Xuan, who seems to have 800 hearts and minds! Especially later, Li Jiaojiao found that her friends around her were gradually moving away from her, and instead got closer to Li Xuan. Even those former friends sometimes had conflicts with themselves because of Li Xuan''s words. At that time, Li Jiaojiao was young. Although she didn''t understand what happened, she was not stupid. She probably felt that it was because of what Li Xuan did behind her back that led to this result. So she stopped communicating with Li Xuan after that. Because of Li Xuan, she also lost all the friends around her, and since then she has been alone and lonely. It was also because of this that the family wanted to send her to study abroad, and she left without any regrets, and it took seven or eight years to leave. Aside, Li Xuan obviously doesn''t plan to buy shoes anymore, as for her reason... Lan Shu looked at Li Xuan and laughed on the spot. "Last year''s shoe styles are old-fashioned, right? Do you want to wear them again this year? Styles and trends change every month. It''s been a year. It''s really..." She also imitated Li Xuan''s method, she only said half of the words, and the rest was taken care of by herself. Sometimes knowing it is more effective than saying it face to face! At this time, when Li Xuan heard Lan Shu''s words, she was tangled up in her heart for a moment, feeling like being stabbed. Lan Shu actually said she was rustic! But looking at Lan Shu''s meaningful eyes, Li Xuan even felt for a moment that she was still wearing the shoes from a year ago, which seemed really embarrassing... This made her plan to change her words. But Li Jiaojiao didn''t give her a chance to change her words. With impatience towards Li Xuan in Li Jiaojiao''s eyes, she said to Lan Shu¡ª "The conditions in their house are just like that. Let alone the shoes from a year ago, if they don''t wear out, they probably won''t be replaced in two or three years." What Li Jiaojiao said was the truth, it was Li Xuan''s current situation. Li Xuan cherishes her clothes and shoes very much. Some of them have been worn for two or three years, and she still wears them. From Li Xuan''s point of view, these were completely fine. But now, listening to Li Jiaojiao''s words, it seems that she really has a feeling that her life is too tight, that her life is hard and pitiful... Li Xuan couldn''t hold back her breath, so she glanced at the place where the summer sandals were placed not far behind Li Jiaojiao. Then with a smile on his face, he said in a quite natural tone, "Miss Lan is right, last year''s style is indeed not popular, so I will buy a new pair of shoes." After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Jiaojiao again, and said with a pitiful look, "Although our family''s conditions are indeed not as rich as your cousin''s, I can still afford a pair of shoes and some clothes." .¡± After finishing speaking, she strode to the table and chose a pair of milky white sandals, "Just this pair, give me a pair in size thirty-eight." She bought this pair of shoes, not to mention whether she would wear them back after buying them, but now, she must not let Li Jiaojiao and Lan Shu underestimate them! Hearing what she said, the clerk immediately went to get the shoes, but Li Jiaojiao lowered her head and glanced at Li Xuan''s feet, "Aren''t you too crowded with size 38 shoes? You are obviously size 39 foot." Li Jiaojiao is in the shoe business, and her visual inspection is not bad. From Li Xuan''s less obvious awkward posture when walking, and the fact that the toes of the round-toed leather shoes on her feet are not obviously protruding when she walks, it can be seen that the shoes on Li Xuan''s feet do not fit her feet yardage. And Li Xuan was suddenly pointed out, and she blushed immediately! Li Xuan has paid attention to her image since she was a child. She feels that as a gentle and kind girl, she must be perfect in all aspects. She is not very good looking, but because of her personality and temperament, many people have a good impression of her. When it comes to dressing, she also tends to be pure and ladylike. She thinks that a perfect girl should not have a pair of big feet. With her height of 160, if possible, she hopes that her feet are 36 yards. But the reality is cruel, her feet have grown to size thirty-nine! She feels ashamed to say that she has such a big foot, so she has been wearing shoes that don''t fit her size 38 all the time to make her feet look smaller. As for the size 37 shoes, she also wants to wear them, but she really can''t fit them in. Only thirty-eight yards can barely squeeze. - This made Li Xuan feel a little ashamed... Although Li Xuan''s face was not good after being pointed out, she didn''t get angry immediately. Li Xuan tried her best to stabilize her mood, still looking delicate and weak, and looked at Li Jiaojiao pretending to be puzzled, "What are you talking about, cousin? My shoe size is thirty-eight, and I have always What size do you wear~" As she spoke, she frowned slightly again, showing a little displeasure, "Shoes in size thirty-nine are too big for me, so they don''t fit." After finishing speaking, she said to the staff in the shoe store, "I need shoes in size 38, please help me get a pair." Hearing Li Xuan''s denial, Li Jiaojiao just glanced at Li Xuan''s feet again, then moved her gaze up and glanced at Li Xuan. "Whatever," she said. She doesn''t like to be nosy, Li Xuan likes to wear shoes that don''t fit her feet, and she is willing to squeeze her feet every day to make her uncomfortable, so it has nothing to do with her. She couldn''t do anything to persuade the other party. That''s why she doesn''t care~ Li Xuan, after buying the shoes, she didn''t want to keep them, and left the Four Seasons shoe store very quickly. Li Xuan felt that there was Lan Shu next to Li Jiaojiao, she really couldn''t play, so she just left quickly. After Li Xuan left, Lan Shu sat down on the stool in the shop for customers to rest, sorted out her thoughts a bit, and then started talking to Li Jiaojiao again. "Jiaojiao, have you ever thought about turning your shoe store into a high-end custom store instead of comparing it with ordinary shoes in other shoe stores in the mall?" Li Jiaojiao''s first reaction was that she didn''t understand what Lan Shu meant. She hesitated for a moment in her head, and then asked, "If you don''t compare with the shoes of other shoe stores in the mall, then...whom should you compare with?" "There are also high-end custom shoe stores. My current shoe store is a custom shoe store, but high-end...how high-end?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 269: send Message Chapter 269 Send a message To change the positioning of a shoe store is not as simple as talking about it. When Li Jiaojiao opened this store after returning to China, she also felt that the shoes in her store were all design styles, which should sell better than other shoes in the mall. At that time, she was even priced fifty cents or one yuan higher than other shoes in the mall. But the result is that the customers who came to the shopping mall just walked around her store, and occasionally a few asked the price. After learning the price of the shoes, they immediately gave up and never thought of buying shoes again. Later, in order to sell the shoes, Li Jiaojiao had to lower the price, which was comparable to the price of shoes in other shoe stores in the mall. Even so, business in her store is not good. Regarding Li Jiaojiao''s question, Lan Shu has several ideas. ¡°Purely hand-made shoes are actually considered high-end shoes, but the general human body does not realize this kind of special hand-made, but what if it is custom-made? It is customized according to the length, width and height of each person¡¯s feet.¡± Hearing Lan Shu''s proposal, Li Jiaojiao also had some thoughts, "It''s feasible to make it custom-made, but is this high-end?" "High-end shoes must have a matching price, and the target consumers are no longer ordinary people, but rich people with spending power." Lan Shu said. "Such people are willing to spend money and know how to enjoy, so it doesn''t matter to them if the price is more expensive." "The rich want not only the quality, but also the reputation of something worthy of them, so in addition to the price of your high-end custom shoes, you must also maintain a good brand and build a reputation." "Once such a reputation spreads in the circle of rich people, there will definitely be a lot of people who will come to you to order shoes from you." "And in the case of price increases, your shoe customization store doesn''t need too many sales to be able to make money." While Lan Shu was talking, Li Jiaojiao listened humbly aside, occasionally showing an expression of sudden realization. Lan Shu doesn''t need to perfect the rest, Li Jiaojiao already has a set of ideas in mind! "I see, Lan Shu, thank you for telling me this!" Li Jiaojiao showed an excited expression for the first time today, and she couldn''t wait to follow Lan Shu''s prompt and add her own ideas to try whether such a sale is feasible! "You''re welcome." Lan Shu replied. Since she and Li Jiaojiao are already friends, it''s okay for her to mention a few words. But Lan Shu still has something to remind Li Jiaojiao. "Since you are taking the high-end route, the name of the current shoe store is not very suitable. Since you have returned from studying abroad, you can choose a store name in the style of that side, which can also be used as a publicity point for the high-end route." When Li Jiaojiao heard this, she nodded approvingly, "I see, I must think of a name." After finishing speaking, she looked at Lan Shu and said in a serious tone, "Lan Shu, if my shoe store really becomes a success, I must thank you very much!" "You don''t need to be so polite." Before Lan Shu helped Li Jiaojiao with an idea, she never thought of getting anything in return, it was just out of help among friends. But Li Jiaojiao doesn''t think so. Her current thinking is just thinking, and she can''t make money to realize it, but if she really makes money, she will definitely repay Lan Shu! Lan Shu had just finished chatting with Li Jiaojiao when Xiao Bai came to the store. He came to deliver a pager to Lan Shu. Looking at the small silver-white pager in her hand, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback¡ª This thing was actually produced by an electronic information company invested by Xiaobai? Lan Shu raised her head and looked at Xiao Bai. Because of the pager, she looked at Xiao Bai in a slightly different way. Lan Shu is quite clear about the profit of the pager! Lan Shu''s dumbfounded expression fell into Xiaobai''s eyes, and he thought Lan Shu didn''t know what it was, so he explained it on the spot. Xiao Bai took out another pager he used himself from his pocket, pressed the button on the pager, found a string of numbers, and then pressed another button next to it. As a melody sounded, a voice could be heard from the pager after a few seconds. ¡®Please say the content of the message¡ª¡¯ Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and said, "Good morning, I hope you are happy." Then he pressed the button on the pager again, ending his speech. Half a minute later, the pager in Lan Shu''s hand rang three times, and then received what Xiao Bai said. It''s just that this sentence has been turned into text and appeared on her pager. Lan Shu: ¡­ Isn¡¯t this just a modified text message~! Speaking of which, although Lan Shu has read modern history books and knows that pagers appeared in the 1980s and that pagers can display the number of someone calling, she is not clear about other uses of pagers. This is the first time she realizes that the pager can do anything other than get missed numbers. Beside ??, Xiaobai was taken aback when he saw Lan Shu, and he immediately taught Lan Shu how to use the pager. Besides, Li Jiaojiao saw a pager for the first time. Seeing the things in the hands of Lan Shu and the young master of the Gu family, and listening to Gu Jue explaining that the pager has the function of displaying phone numbers in addition to sending messages, Li Jiaojiao couldn''t help asking, "Where can I buy this thing?" At this moment, Xiaobai seemed to realize that there was another person around him. He looked at Lan Shu, then at Li Jiaojiao, and analyzed that the two were friends, and then he replied, "It''s not on sale yet, it will be officially on sale in two days, and you can see it in all major shopping malls in Kyoto. " Hearing the news, Li Jiaojiao already planned to buy a pager at that time. And Xiaobai is still excitedly teaching Lanshu how to try out the pager. "Lan Shu, try sending me a message too." Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu, his eyes were bright, and there was even anticipation in his eyes as he spoke. If Lan Shu sent him a message, what would she say? Xiaobai wants to know. Lan Shu was indeed interested in the function of sending messages, so she pressed the button on the pager as Xiao Bai told her. ¡®Please say the content of the message¡ª¡¯ "Good morning, thank you for the gift," she said. Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai immediately raised the corners of his lips in a happy mood. A moment later, he also received a text message of Lan Shu''s words on his pager. And after Lan Shu personally tried the message sending function of the pager, she confirmed again that this is a message sending tool in disguise! The mobile phone is used to make calls, and the pager is used to send messages. Now, the top-of-the-line communication facilities in the 1980s are all in her hands~! But Lan Shu suddenly thought of¡ª "Doesn''t your electronic information company still need money to build a communication station? The money I asked the factory to transfer to you will arrive today at the earliest, so the communication station has already been built before you get the money. ?¡± (end of this chapter) Chapter 270: as usual Chapter 270 as usual Lan Shu suddenly realized that she had been tricked by Xiao Bai! Originally, Lan Shu thought that Xiaobai''s communication company was really short of 100,000 yuan of investment. But now she knows that the reason why Xiaobai asks herself for 100,000 yuan is purely to give herself shares! noob:¡­ ¡ª¡ª Fortunately, Lan Shu doesn''t care about Xiao Bai. "Since the 100,000 has been transferred to you, take it and use it." Electronic information companies make money, but before making profits in the short term, they must have capital turnover. Although Xiaobai doesn''t say anything, Lan Shu understands that if you have money in your hands for business, you will not be in trouble. Xiao Bai was not polite either, and nodded in agreement with a smile. At noon, Li Jiaojiao asked Lan Shu to have dinner together, and since Xiao Bai came, she joined the dinner. ¡­ During lunch, the three of them ate at a well-known restaurant near Huayang Shopping Mall. Three people, four dishes and two soups, it is considered rich. Although Li Jiaojiao said that it was Li Jiaojiao''s treat, after the meal, Xiaobai went to the counter to settle the bill first. He invited Lan Shu to dinner, how could he ask outsiders to pay? After dinner, Li Jiaojiao still had plans to transform the store, so she left quickly. Only Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were left alone. "Lan Shu, our company''s pagers will be officially sold in two days. Can you come to the sale ceremony?" Xiao Bai suddenly asked Lan Shu. As the boss of Xinchuang Electronic Information Company, he will definitely show up on the spot, but what Xiaobai hopes more is that Lan Shu can appear with him at the launch ceremony! Lan Shu counted the time, and she had nothing to do in two days, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay." In the afternoon, Xiao Bai did not spend time with Lan Shu. In his electronic information company, the pager was about to go on sale. As the boss, he had to participate in many things, so he returned to the company. And Lan Shu originally planned to tell Xiaobai that she bought a house in Kyoto and now lives on Chang''an Road. By the way, she invited Xiaobai to her house to identify the door, and welcome to visit anytime in the future. It can be seen that Xiaobai is really busy, so she didn''t say anything. Wait until the pager release ceremony in Xiaobai¡¯s company is over, then invite Xiaobai to visit us~! Lan Shu thought so, got in the car, and asked Master Zhang to drive her back to her home in Kyoto¡ª ¡­ On this day, the Lan family in Kyoto on the other side. When Lan Xinya came out of the hospital early in the morning, Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng went to pick her up together. Xu Shan asked for leave from her work unit for the past two days, and Lan Weicheng didn''t go to the counter. Both of them stayed by Lan Xinya''s side, taking good care of their raised daughter. Arrived at home, Xu Shan immediately went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Considering that Xinya''s gastroenteritis should be cured, she made something easy to digest. And Lan Weicheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking with Lan Xinya, his daughter. "Xinya, it was my father''s fault that he didn''t take good care of you before. Since you want to open up and are willing to live in peace with Shushu in the future, then our family will continue as usual." As Lan Weicheng said, he took out his wallet from his pocket and counted two hundred dollars. "Xinya, our family''s conditions are better than before. From now on, your monthly pocket money will only be 200." Lan Weicheng directly made the decision. Seeing Qian, Lan Xinya was relieved! She has lost her pocket money for the past two months, and her life is very tight, and now she can finally return to the days when she had pocket money. After going through all this, Lan Xinya understood the benefits of being soft. She only needs to be soft and admit her mistakes, and her life will be as good as ever. Thinking of this, Lan Xinya already has some ideas about her future. Facing her father, Lan Weicheng, Lan Xinya didn''t take the money immediately. Seeing the hesitation of the adoptive daughter, Lan Weicheng really felt that Xinya was really sensible, knowing that she would feel embarrassed when taking her parents'' money. He was so moved that his heart softened, and then he stuffed two hundred yuan into the hands of his adopted daughter. "Xinya, take it, Mom and Dad have said, whether you have our blood in you or not, but you were raised by us, you have always been our daughter!" After Lan Weicheng finished speaking, he seemed to think of something. His voice paused, then he let out a long sigh, and said, "Xinya, there is a saying that Shushu is right. Although we will treat you as our own daughter, you still have biological parents after all." Hearing Lan Weicheng''s words, Lan Xinya''s heart suddenly tugged¡ª What she dislikes the most is that her biological parents are rural people! But Lan Weicheng didn''t know Lan Xinya''s thoughts. He continued, "Recently rest at home for a few days. When you feel better, go to Qingyang County to see your biological parents. They are also very concerned about it. your." When Lan Xinya heard this, she unconsciously clenched her fingers! She didn''t want to go to the countryside to meet anyone at all, but now, since her father said it, she had to go. Otherwise, if she disappoints her father, her impression of her in his heart will deteriorate, and life in the capital will be difficult in the future. So she took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "I see, Dad." Seeing his daughter so obedient, Lan Weicheng''s thoughts returned to the days when the family of three lived comfortably together. Since Xinya is sensible and persuasive, the relationship between their father and daughter will be the same as before~! ¡­ A day later, a news article was published in the Kyoto Daily. Xinchuang Electronic Information has developed a communication device called a pager. This kind of communication equipment, whether you use a mobile phone or a landline to dial the number on the pager, the pager can immediately display the number dialed by the other party. In this way, it is convenient for those who use the pager to know that the other party is looking for them. At that time, find a nearby landline and call, and you will be able to contact the other party. In addition to the function of receiving phone numbers, pagers can also send messages. There are two types of pagers for sending messages, one is purely digital message reception, and the other is text reception within ten characters. The prices of the two pagers are still unknown, but the newspaper said that at 8:30 tomorrow morning, the pagers will be sold simultaneously on the second floor of Huaxia Mall, the first floor of Huayang Mall, and the second floor of Huamei Mall! In addition, the boss of the new electronic information company that produced and developed the pager will appear on the second floor of the Huamei Shopping Center tomorrow morning to start the sale. At that time, the pager will be purchased on-site at the sale, and there will be certain discounts! Promotions mean saving money! When many people see the news in the newspaper, they are very excited about the pager and plan to buy one. Since there are still activities to participate in, it must be to participate in the bargain~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 271: limited Chapter 271 Limited Edition The day after the advertisement was published in the newspaper, many people arrived early in the morning in front of the pager counter of Huamei Mall, waiting for the counter to open for business. At 8:30 in the morning, the counter was full of people. The tellers put the pager on the counter, and then explained the function and usage of the pager to the customers who intend to buy the pager. As for the price of the pager, it is said that it will be officially announced after the boss arrives. A moment later, Xiaobai, accompanied by Xue Chuang, appeared in front of the counter. The two are dressed in suits and leather shoes, and because of their family backgrounds, they have an extraordinary temperament invisibly. Adding Xiaobai''s handsome appearance, he belongs to the existence that can be noticed at a glance in the crowd. Xue Chuang is also good-looking, with gold-rimmed glasses, he looks like a successful person. So the moment the two appeared, the potential customers who were interested in buying a pager around the counter couldn''t help following closely¡ª The two tellers at the counter saw the boss coming, and they shouted in unison, "Hello, boss!" Hearing the shout of the teller, the onlookers suddenly became emotional! "The boss who sells pagers is here! Now I can finally know how much the pagers cost!" "If it is cheaper, I will buy it. If it is too expensive, I really can''t afford it..." The person who said this thought of a "big brother" worth 10,000 yuan. Although the function used by the pager is completely different from that of the ''Big Brother'', it cannot make calls, but only receives messages. But both of them are communication devices, and the price of the "big brother" comes first. I also know that the pager will definitely not be too cheap. Listening to the voices of discussion around, Xue Chuang''s expression was calm, while Xiao Bai''s gaze was patrolling the crowd, trying to find Lan Shu''s figure. Is Lan Shu not here yet? She promised to come to this pager sale event, so she shouldn''t change her mind temporarily, right? While thinking, Xiao Bai suddenly saw Lan Shu and her friend Li Jiaojiao walking down the stairs from the third floor to the second floor not far away. Seeing Lan Shu, Xiao Bai finally feels at ease! He followed his eyes like a shadow, watching Lan Shu approaching the crowd, but when he couldn''t walk over because of the crowds in front of him, Xiao Bai immediately walked in Lan Shu''s direction. "Give way." When the people around heard his words, they almost subconsciously parted a way in the middle¡ª Xiao Bai passed through the crowd, and when he came back, he had already grabbed Lan Shu''s wrist and brought her to the front of the counter. Because of Lan Shu''s relationship, Li Jiaojiao, who followed Lan Shu to watch the pager release ceremony, was also able to come forward. Now that Lan Shu has arrived, the release ceremony of the pager can finally begin! Xiaobai gave Xue Chuang a glance. Next to him, Xue Chuang immediately said a few words to everyone, introduced the situation of their new electronic information company, and then announced¡ª "Ordinary digital pagers cost 189 yuan, and upgraded pagers that display Chinese characters cost 328 yuan." Hearing this price, there were more discussions among the crowd than before. There is a difference of more than 100 yuan between the two pagers with different functions! This is really not a small amount for the consumption level of ordinary people today. However, although the basic pager of 189 is not cheap, many people think that the price of a "big brother" is over 10,000. In comparison, the price of a pager with certain communication functions is 189. Acceptable too... As for the 328 Chinese character pager, some people also want it, but the price is still under consideration. Just when a group of people couldn¡¯t make up their minds and were debating whether or not to buy and what kind to buy, Xiao Bai was beside Lan Shu and said¡ª¡ª "Today is the first day of our Xinchuang Electronics Company''s product sales and opening. The first 100 pagers have a price reduction on the basis of the original price. The ordinary digital pager is 169, and the upgraded Chinese character pager is 300. eight." Hearing what the new boss said, someone has already paid for it¡ª "Ordinary digital models, I want one." "I want the digital version too." "I want Chinese characters!" "..." Potential customers who were still thinking about it heard that the promotion is limited, and only the top 100 can get the cheap price. Why do they hesitate? If I don¡¯t buy it now, I will spend more money to buy it when I run out of places later! Because there were too many people rushing to buy here, the crowd swarmed up, and Xiao Bai immediately protected Lan Shu to the side of the counter. Li Jiaojiao at the side originally wanted to take advantage of the event price to snap up a pager, but then she thought, she is Lan Shu''s friend, and with the relationship between Lan Shu and Gu Jue, is she still worried that she won''t be able to buy a pager? ? In addition, Li Jiaojiao didn''t want to be crowded with other people, so she followed Lan Shu and Gu Jue and left the counter. At the counter, seeing that there were more buyers than the limited quota, Xue Chuang immediately shouted loudly, "Today''s opening promotion is not only available at the counter of Huamei Mall, but also at the Huaxia Mall and Huayang Mall. machine counter at the same time!" "Each counter has a preferential quota of 100 pagers!" Hearing this news, some people behind the crowd who wanted to buy a pager probably felt that they would not be able to squeeze in the top 100 here, so they immediately turned and went downstairs to the mall¡ª They are going to Huayang Shopping Center and Huaxia Shopping Center now, maybe there is still time? ¡­ Not far away, seeing the good business in front of the pager counter, Lan Shu couldn''t help but look at Xiao Bai more. The limited activity of Xiaobai''s trick just now is the essence of hot sales! Xiaobai came up with this sales strategy? If so, Xiaobai actually has some talent for doing business~ Beside Lan Shu, Xiaobai didn''t know what Lan Shu was thinking, but when he saw Lan Shu looking at him, he didn''t show it on the surface, but he was very happy that he could let Lan Shu see his ability. I don''t know if Lan Shu regards her differently? Just as he was thinking, Li Jiaojiao''s voice interrupted Xiaobai''s thoughts¡ª Li Jiaojiao looked at Lan Shu, then at Gu Jue, and then said to Gu Jue, "Can you go through the back door and let me buy a special pager today?" Although Li Jiaojiao is not short of money, since she can save money, who would want to be taken advantage of? What''s more, since Li Jiaojiao opened a shoe store, she knows that it is not easy to make money, so she plans and restrains her expenses. Xiao Bai knew that Li Jiaojiao was Lan Shu''s friend, so he would not refuse Li Jiaojiao''s request, even for Lan Shu''s sake. "Okay, I''ll have someone deliver the pager to your store later." As for the counter, because there are too many people, the goods on the counter must be in short supply. Li Jiaojiao was very happy when she heard that, "Then it''s settled! I want a pager with Chinese characters!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 272: unnatural Chapter 272 Unnatural The day before yesterday in Li Jiaojiao''s shoe store, she witnessed the scene where Gu Jue sent a message to Lan Shu with a pager. So for a pager that can send messages, Li Jiaojiao is quite greedy! With the Chinese character type pager, sometimes you don¡¯t need to make a phone call, but simply send a message directly. Xiaobai naturally responded to Li Jiaojiao''s small requests one by one. By her side, Lan Shu understood that the reason why Xiaobai agreed to Li Jiaojiao was because of herself. When Xiaobai led herself from the crowd to the counter, Lan Shu felt nervous for no reason for a moment! The wrist being pulled was also hot, which gradually raised a strange emotion in her heart. Even Lan Shu herself didn''t expect that her contact with Xiao Bai would feel unnatural? What is the reason for the unnaturalness, Lan Shu knows it well! So in her heart, Xiaobai is not just the simple little brother she used to be? Just now she has been standing beside Xiaobai without saying a word, not because of silence, but because she is thinking and experiencing her own mood. At first, she wondered, is it because she and Xiaobai have been separated for a long time in the past six months, and her relationship with Xiaobai has become a little strange? That''s why Xiaobai''s position in her heart has changed a bit? But soon, Lan Shu overturned her idea by herself. It is undeniable that after Xiaobai confessed to her at Peking University School of Medicine, there was a little ripple in her heart. But such a change was too small to even be noticed by her. After that, Xiaobai expressed his love for her in front of her mother Xu Shan at her home. At that time, Lan Shu had the idea of ??restraining her, and it was also a manifestation of Xiaobai''s behavior that had a great influence on her heart. Later, Xiaobai went to Qingyang County to meet her during the summer vacation. The time spent together made her feel at ease and comfortable, and she also missed the days when they lived together. When Xiao Bai suddenly appeared at the dinner party a few days ago, Lan Shu was pleasantly surprised! Xiaobai focused on the pure act of sending the company to him, and the expectant eyes he looked at himself when he came here to deliver the pager. As well as just seeing her own appearance at a glance, and bringing herself out of the crowd, all these emotions in Lan Shu''s heart that shouldn''t have throbbed, grew and spread... Although Lan Shu has no idea of ??dating Xiaobai until now, she no longer rejects this matter. A simple big boy, who was sincere to him, was ruthlessly rejected by him, and the other party could still wait by her side silently, Lan Shu was not hard-hearted. So when Li Jiaojiao got the promise from Xiaobai that she could buy a pager today. Not long after, Li Jiaojiao waved goodbye to Lan Shu, walked up to the third floor, and went back to her own shop. Here, Lan Shu looked down at Xiao Bai''s hand that hadn''t let go of her wrist. She didn''t break away, but raised her head slightly, and said to Xiao Bai, who was a head taller than herself, "I got up late this morning, and I haven''t eaten yet, do you want to have breakfast together?" When Lan Shu said that, how could Xiao Bai refuse? He even feels a little distressed. It''s already nine o''clock, and Lan Shu hasn''t even had breakfast yet. If it was in Qingyang County, he would definitely bring breakfast there early in the morning! Even if Lan Shu wants to sleep longer, just eat the breakfast he sent and go back to sleep. ¡­ More than ten minutes later, the two had breakfast together at the breakfast shop near Huamei Shopping Mall. It''s already past nine o''clock, and the breakfast shop is about to close. Fortunately, there are still some porridge and steamed buns with vegetables and radishes in the store. As for the meat buns that Lan Shu likes to eat, they are already sold out! Although she couldn''t eat the most appetizing food, she was able to eat enough, and Lan Shu was satisfied. But Xiaobai couldn''t see that Lan Shu didn''t eat well, so he asked the owner of the breakfast shop to bring over two more tea eggs. Lan Shu ate one, but couldn''t eat the rest, so Xiao Bai ate the last tea egg. After dinner, Lan Shu mentioned to Xiao Bai that she settled down in Kyoto. "...The house I bought is on Chang''an Road. When will you be free, I will take you to find out the door?" she said. Hearing that Lan Shu wanted to take him home, Xiao Bai didn''t hesitate at all, "I''m free now!" So the breakfast was over, Lan Shu took Xiao Bai, got into a private car, and the driver, Master Zhang, drove directly to No. 99 Chang''an Road¡ª ¡­ At this time, in the Lan family in Kyoto, Lan Xinya has been resting at home for two days since she was discharged from the hospital with acute gastroenteritis. As the secretary of the factory, although her daily work is not heavy, it is very complicated. This time, from her illness to recuperation, it has been delayed for a week. The factory called her home early this morning and asked when she could resume work. Xu Shan has a job in a serious unit. For the past two days, Lan Weicheng has been taking care of her adopted daughter at home, and cooks three meals a day for Lan Xinya on time every day, so he answers the phone calls in the factory. Originally, Lan Weicheng also felt that it was not good to be absent from work for too long, but he was really worried about his daughter''s physical condition. When the leader of the factory where Xinya worked euphemistically said that she could no longer ask for leave, Lan Weicheng actually wanted to tell the other party directly that his daughter would not go to work in the future, and the family had enough money to support her! But that is Xinya''s job after all, how to choose, even if Lan Weicheng is a father, he should not ignore his daughter''s thoughts and make arbitrary decisions. So he told Lan Xinya about receiving the phone call. Lan Xinya knew that she had been on leave for a long time, and her acute gastroenteritis had almost recovered since she was discharged from the hospital. In addition to resting at home for the past two days, her physical condition has recovered, and she has no problem going back to work. But when I think of the result of my hard work, I earn that forty or fifty yuan every month. Now that she has regained the love of her parents, her father also said that she will give herself 200 pocket money every month in the future. With money, Lan Xinya no longer wants to go to work on time and on time every day, and she has worked so hard to get the dozens of dollars. So Lan Xinya lied to Lan Weicheng¡ª "Dad, I''m very uncomfortable now. I always feel weak and dizzy..." As for other things, without Lan Xinya saying, it is impossible for Lan Weicheng to let his daughter go to work dragging her sick body. So he tried to ask Lan Xinya what she meant. "Xinya, the leader of your unit said that no leave will be granted, and you cannot go to work under the current situation. If you don''t go to work, you will definitely be fired." After speaking, Lan Weicheng was afraid of irritating his daughter, so he added, "But it doesn''t matter even if you get fired, you won''t be short of money in our house." "Thank you dad, I really can''t continue this job due to my physical condition, but if I''m fired from the factory, I won''t have a good reputation if I tell it later..." Lan Weicheng already understood what she meant when she said she had a daughter. "So he said, Xinya don''t worry, we won''t be fired, let''s just resign!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 273: gift idea Chapter 273 The intention of giving gifts With Lan Weicheng''s words, on the same day, he called the leader of the factory where Lan Xinya worked, and informed Lan Xinya of his intention to resign. The factory leader on the other side of the phone never imagined that someone would quit their job and resign because they couldn''t ask for leave? But no matter what he thinks, since Lan Xinya wants to resign, he will approve it. There is no shortage of Lan Xinya in the factory, and some people rush into their factory! ¡­ On the other side, No. 99 Chang''an Road. This is the first time for Xiaobai to come to the place where Lan Shu lives. The house here is big and the environment is good. It is indeed a good place to live. Xiaobai was even thinking, are there any other houses nearby for resale? At that time, he can buy another one and be neighbors with Lan Shu. There is nothing else to do today, Lan Shu doesn''t plan to go out again, so Xiaobai cooks a meal at noon, and eats with Lan Shu at home. Aside, Aunt Man was full of curiosity about the young man brought back suddenly by Miss Lan. Especially this young man can cook, cooking a whole table of dishes in the kitchen by himself! The young man is so kind to Miss Lan, and it seems that Miss Lan is very relaxed and happy when getting along with him. What is the relationship between the two of them? relative? Not like! The young man looked at Miss Lan with his eyes, as if he wanted to treat Miss Lan wholeheartedly, so... he likes Miss Lan, right? Aunt Man fell into thinking about this question. In the dining room, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai finished their meal and went to the living room to sit for a while. Auntie Man just rightly served a plate of cut fruits for them to eat as a snack after a meal. It''s okay to be idle, so the two inevitably chatted. "Before I came back to Kyoto this time, I met Brother Da Zhuang. I heard that Brother Da Zhuang is getting married next month. He invited me to participate, so when will you return to Qingyang County, Lan Shu, bring me with you." Lan Shu originally thought that Xiaobai would not go back to Qingyang County when she returned to Kyoto from Qingyang County this time, but after hearing Xiaobai''s reminder, she realized that the elder brother and Secretary Tang will indeed get married on the 8th of next month day. Based on the relationship between Xiaobai and elder brother, it is necessary for Xiaobai to go when the elder brother gets married. So Lan Shu didn''t think too much about Xiaobai''s going to Qingyang County, but just nodded, "Okay, then I will tell you in advance when I will leave in a few days." Hearing that Lan Shu was willing to take him back with him, the upward curve of Xiaobai''s mouth was obvious to the naked eye. He smiled slightly, and then continued with Lan Dazhuang''s marriage, chatting with Lan Shu¡ª For example- "Brother Big Zhuang gets married, what are the local customs?" "Brother Zhuang is getting married, what gift should I give?" Lan Shu answered these questions one by one. She, a foreigner, doesn''t know much about the wedding customs in Hetianshui Village, Qingyang County. As for giving gifts, Lan Shu asked Xiao Bai to give them whatever he wanted. Listening to Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai asked again, "Lan Shu, what gift do you like?" "Huh?" Lan Shu was slightly taken aback. Why did it suddenly involve her? Facing Xiaobai''s expectant eyes, Lan Shu even wondered if the questions Xiaobai asked her before were foreshadowing? What he really wants to ask is what gift does he like? At this time, Lan Shu didn''t know, but she had already guessed the truth! Xiao Bai was a little disappointed to see that Lan Shu didn''t answer. Apart from knowing that Lan Shu likes to eat and is interested in doing business, he doesn''t know the rest. It wasn''t that he didn''t observe carefully and didn''t know enough about Lan Shu, but that during the time he was with Lan Shu, Lan Shu didn''t show any interest in other things at all. Just when Xiaobai thought that Lan Shu would not answer his question, Lan Shu suddenly said beside him. "I like gifts... There should be many, but I can have all the things I like with my own ability." As she said that, she looked at Xiaobai, "Actually, it doesn''t matter what the gift is, what matters is the intention of giving the gift. If the intention is met, even a flower or a watch can make the recipient feel happy." Happy." A flower, a watch... Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes slowly moved towards Lan Shu''s wrist. On her hand, she was wearing a delicate female-style plum watch. That was what he gave Lan Shu a few months ago. So, Lan Shu liked the gift he gave her back then~? Xiao Bai suddenly felt happy¡ª Next, the two chatted for a while while eating fruit. After the fruit is finished, there will be Lanshu''s homemade mung bean popsicles frozen in the refrigerator. In such hot weather, a mung bean popsicle is quite refreshing! It was the first time for Xiaobai to eat such a popsicle, and he fell in love with it on the spot! Such a leisurely and comfortable day passed slowly, and Xiao Bai stayed at Lan Shu''s house for dinner again. After dinner, he got into Lan Shu''s car and went back to his home. When he was in Kyoto before, he was the one who asked the driver to deliver Lan Shu. And now, it is Lan Shu who sends him back... ¡­ Two days later, at the end of July, it was time for Lan Shu to return to Qingyang County. Before going back, she didn''t forget to go home and have a meal with her parents. Today is a working day, and Lan Shu specially chose it. She thought that when she came home from work, she would not see Lan Xinya. This would prevent them from speaking at each other and making their parents feel unhappy when they saw each other. But Lan Shu didn''t expect that when she went back, she found that Lan Xinya didn''t go to work, but was sitting in the living room downstairs fanning, eating melon seeds and watching TV. Lan Shu:? She was a little taken aback by this scene. Why didn''t Lan Xinya go to work? On the sofa, seeing Lan Shu coming back, Lan Xinya raised her head and glanced at her, showing a smug smile, then continued to eat melon seeds and watch her TV. Although Lan Shu didn''t know what was going on, Lan Xinya''s expression of "she won" made Lan Shu frown slightly. Later, when it was lunch time, Lan Shu sat at the dining table and learned about Lan Xinya''s resignation from the unit from Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan. When Lan Xinya was working, it could be said that the heroine was independent. Now, she is completely supported by her family, and Lan Shu feels that such a heroine no longer has the positive image that a heroine should have. With Lan Xinya like this, can she still be considered a heroine? Although Lan Shu questioned this, it was Lan Xinya''s own choice to resign and live at home. Lan Shu has no right to prevent or change other people''s decisions. She glanced lightly at Lan Xinya who was sitting opposite her, then looked away, had lunch with her parents, and said that she was going back to Qingyang County tomorrow. "Is Shushu going back tomorrow?" Lan Weicheng said, turning his head to look at the adopted daughter beside him. Xinya promised to go back to Tianshui Village to see her biological parents when she recovers better. (end of this chapter) Chapter 274: Xiaobai who recovered his memory? Chapter 274 Xiaobai who recovered his memory? Lan Weicheng thought about bringing Xin Ya with Shu Shu when she went back. At this moment, Lan Weicheng''s question and the way he looked at Lan Xinya were clearly captured by Lan Shu. Lan Shu''s heart suddenly went ''thump! ¡¯ With a jump, I suddenly had a bad feeling. Then she heard Lan Weicheng say, "Shushu, Xinya told me before that she wanted to go back to Tianshui Village to see her parents..." Listening to Lan Weicheng''s words, Lan Shu finally understood what her father meant. Do you want Lan Xinya to give her a ride? Going back to Tianshui Village to visit her parents, whether it was Lan Xinya''s own idea or not is hard to say. Let her be alone with Lan Xinya, this kind of thing she is not willing to do, Lan Shu will not force herself. So Lan Shu shifted her gaze, glanced at Lan Xinya, and then met her father Lan Weicheng''s gaze, "It''s a good thing to go back and see your biological parents~" After finishing this sentence, Lan Shu didn''t say any more. Lan Weicheng could see Shushu''s attitude, it was obvious that Shushu didn''t want to bring Xinya along. In this case, Lan Weicheng did not force himself. He turned his head and said to his adoptive daughter, "Xinya, your body should rest for a few more days, and you can go back to see your parents later." Lan Xinya has no objection if she can go to the countryside later. She nodded, and replied with a gentle smile, "I listen to Dad." Besides, Xu Shan was a little relieved to see that her two daughters could sit at the same dining table and eat. Although she doesn''t expect the two children to get along well, as long as there are no major conflicts between them, that''s enough. Lunch was over, Lan Shu didn''t stay any longer, and left the house quickly. On weekdays, Xu Shan has to go to work, and Lan Weicheng hasn''t been to the mall for the past few days. Seeing that Xinya''s health is fine, he should put his mind on his career. Parents are not at home, and Lan Shu doesn''t want to get tired of seeing Lan Xinya, so it''s better to leave. She still needs to go back and pack up. She will leave Kyoto tomorrow and return to Qingyang County. ¡­ The next day, at 8:30 in the morning, Master Zhang drove the car to Chang''an Road. Lan Shu got into the car, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Bai was already sitting in the passenger seat of the car. During these few meetings, Xiaobai and Lan Shu''s driver, Master Zhang, are familiar. Early this morning, he first contacted Master Zhang to pick him up, and then went to Chang''an Road with Master Zhang to pick up Lan Shu. Such an arrangement can allow Lan Shu to sleep more in the morning, and also reduce the time she spends taking detours in the car to pick him up. In the car, Xiao Bai originally wanted to sit in the back row so that he could be closer to Lan Shu. But thinking of the long-distance car ride, the back seat is large, and Lan Shu can sit more comfortably by herself, so he sits in the front. As the car drove out of Kyoto, Xiao Bai hardly said a few words along the way, but only told Lan Shu to lie down and rest if she was sleepy. Before Lan Shu got into the car, he had already spread a small mat on the back seat, put a smaller pillow, and a small blanket for sleeping. With Xiaobai''s proper preparation, Lan Shu naturally wants to make the best use of everything. So she slept in the car all morning, and only opened her eyes sleepily at lunch time. "Where are we now?" Lan Shu rubbed her eyes, sat up and looked out the car window. "I''ve already entered the Shinto Province at the moment, we''ll go to the city later, let''s have a meal and rest before we go on our way." It was Xiaobai who spoke. At this time, he was no longer in the passenger seat, but was sitting in the driver''s seat. "Xiaobai, can you drive?" Lan Shu was quite surprised by this realization! Xiaobai is not yet eighteen this year, right? Already have a driver''s license? And didn''t he lose his memory? People with amnesia can drive? Lan Shu suddenly felt that a lot of things seemed to have happened to Xiao Bai in the past few months when she and Xiao Bai got together less and separated more. As for Xiao Bai''s ability to drive, he immediately explained to Lan Shu. ¡°I learned to drive when I was fifteen years old, and I still learned to drive a green pickup truck. A car is easier to drive than a truck.¡± "Fifteen years old...you have recovered your memory?" Lan Shu looked at Xiao Bai in front of her in surprise. Xiao Bai, who has recovered his memory, is the young master of the Gu family, and he is willing to be obedient and take good care of him as always? Seemingly hearing the shock in Lan Shu''s tone, Xiao Bai turned his head halfway and glanced at Lan Shu briefly, "Well, the memory has recovered." Not just recovering memories, but recovering more memories beyond his current age limit. After speaking, Xiaobai looked ahead and continued to drive. Lan Shu: ¡­ So I don¡¯t know when, Xiao Bai beside me is already Gu Jue who has recovered his memory? And Gu Jue''s attitude towards her made Lan Shu feel unbelievable! Next, the car was filled with an atmosphere of silence. Until the car drove into a nearby city and stopped in front of a restaurant, Lan Shu was still in a daze. Xiaobai parked the car, got out of the car, went around to Lan Shu''s side, helped Lan Shu open the car door, and called softly, "Lan Shu, get out of the car." Lan Shu reflected from her state of trance. "Oh, um." She was a little flustered, and after getting out of the car, she followed Xiao Bai to the restaurant. In the restaurant, Xiaobai asked the boss to arrange a private room, ordered food, and then walked upstairs with Lan Shu and the driver, Master Zhang. The three sat at the dining table, Master Zhang sat a little further away, and Xiao Bai sat next to Lan Shu, helping Lan Shu wash the dishes with hot water. After the dishes he ordered arrived on the table one by one, he couldn''t help reminding the people around him, "Lan Shu, it''s time to eat." "Oh." Lan Shu agreed absent-mindedly, and then looked down at the four dishes and two soups on the table. Braised big carp in braised sauce, fried mushrooms with sliced ??meat, lamb with cumin, and stewed chicken with potatoes are all Lan Shu''s favorites. There is also a sweet soup among the two soups, which is Lanshu''s favorite taste. Lan Shu: ¡­ She is still surprised that Gu Jue, who has recovered her memory, and the young master of the Gu family in Kyoto, have no change with Xiao Bai, who has lost her memory, is willing to be by her side, and takes care of herself in every way! So, Xiaobai who treats himself well now is not just a big boy with a memory of less than a year, but a boy who has lived a complete life for seventeen years? What he said he likes, and his gestures of affection, are all from his heart? Lan Shu''s mood suddenly became complicated... Her silent devotion to Xiao Bai and his feelings for her have a different mentality. After finishing the meal in silence, Lan Shu was still in a daze until she got into the car. Xiao Bai saw that Lan Shu was not in the right state, so he asked Master Zhang to drive, while he hesitated for a moment, then sat in the back seat of the car. Lan Shu has slept for several hours in the morning, so she shouldn''t need to rest in the afternoon, right? So he planned to talk to Lan Shu, and she could tell him whatever she thought about recovering her memory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 275: Didi Didi Chapter 275 Didi Didi Xiao Bai''s sudden approach made Lan Shu subconsciously tense, and her heart tightened! Before she knew that Xiaobai was already Gu Jue, she definitely didn''t feel this way. But now, in front of her is the young master of the Gu family whose life experience far surpasses that of Xiaobai! Sensing Lan Shu''s strange reaction, Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, a little dazed. "Lan Shu, what''s wrong with you?" Seeing Lan Shu''s hesitant expression, Xiao Bai thought for a while, and then asked, "Is it because I recovered my memory?" "You...don''t want me to restore my memory?" Xiaobai''s voice paused, with uncertainty and imperceptible grievances in his tone. "No!" Lan Shu replied immediately in a hurry. She looked at Xiaobai, and asked tentatively, "After restoring your memory, have you... changed from before?" "What changes can there be?" Xiaobai didn''t quite understand. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something! Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and said seriously, "I am who I am, no matter when I lost my memory or now when I regained my memory." In fact, his so-called recovery of memory is not the real recovery of memory, but just knowing his past from one dream after another, so there is no change between him now and before. But Lan Shu didn''t know this. After being silent for a while, she tried her best to change her mentality and accept the current Xiaobai. Seeing Lan Shu started to keep silent again, Xiao Bai was a little impatient, "Lan Shu..." "I just need a little time to get used to it." Lan Shu said, interrupting Xiao Bai. The car was speeding on the road, and there was no sound in the car. Lanshu said that she had to adapt, so Xiaobai quietly waited for her to fully accept her now ''recovered memory'' self in her heart. When it was almost four o''clock in the afternoon, the car entered Linjiang City, and it took more than an hour to reach Qingyang County. Looking at the hurriedly retreating scenery outside, Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head to look at Xiao Bai. "I''ll call you Gu Jue from now on." She said. The current Xiaobai is no longer the Xiaobai whose memory was like a blank sheet of paper. Hearing what Lan Shu said, Xiao Bai frowned slightly. Although the name is just a title to him, he always feels that once he accepts Lan Shu''s decision to change his name, it seems that he will lose something? So he shook his head without hesitation, looked at Lan Shu intently, and said, "No, in front of you, I will always be Xiaobai." Lan Shu was stunned by Xiao Bai''s answer¡ª Always will be¡­ Lan Shu sighed. Regarding Xiaobai''s performance that had not changed before and after, she felt that she was the only one who should adjust her mentality now. ¡­ At five o''clock in the evening, the car drove to Linfu Street in Qingyang County. Xiao Bai got out of the car and went to live with her grandma, while Lan Shu returned to the house she bought near the industrial zone in Qingyang County. I told the driver Master Zhang that he would pick her up at 8:30 in the morning, and Lan Shu entered the gate. The courtyard was quiet, and the room was also empty. Lan Shu, who was quite familiar with such an environment before, suddenly felt a little lonely at this moment. In the past, when Xiaobai hadn''t recovered her memory, Lan Shu would feel that there was another person in this world who was as strange to the world as she was. Even though she has integrated into this world, she always knows in her heart that she is not from this world. Now, Xiaobai has recovered his memory, and he is no longer the companion who can accompany him to face the strange world. He is a part of this world! I am still alone after all... Just as he was thinking about it, in his pocket, the beeper alert of "Dididi..." sounded. Lan Shu took it out and took a look, only to find that it was a message. ¡ª¡®Lan Shu, are you home yet? '' It was from Xiaobai. Just as he was about to reply, ''Dididi...'' Another reminder sound came. ¡ª¡®I¡¯m back, Grandma is happy. '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡ª¡®Grandma asked me to call you over for dinner. '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡ª¡®Is there something you like to eat, come? '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡®¡­¡¯ Looking at Xiaobai''s message after message, Lan Shu was stunned for a while, and then she thought of the process of sending messages with a pager. Xiaobai must first contact the signal receiving main station through the pager, and then send the message he dictated through the commissioner there. Every message needs someone to forward it before she can receive it. One after another, and they were all irrelevant household inquiries, Lan Shu suddenly felt that if she was the head office commissioner who helped Xiaobai forward the news, she must be very speechless. Thinking of this, Lan Shu burst out laughing. The loneliness that surrounded her just now dissipated instantly! Although Xiaobai has recovered his memory, he is still him and treats himself as well as ever. I have someone who cares about me, someone who takes care of me carefully, and I am not alone. Thinking of Xiaobai, Lan Shu felt a little warm in her heart. Afterwards, she pressed the button on the pager, and heard the message from the pager, "Please say the content of the message¡ª" She replied softly, "I''ll be there later." A few minutes later, ''I''ll be there later. ¡¯ A few words were sent to Xiaobai¡¯s pager. Seeing this news, Xiaobai''s dignified expression, which had been silently waiting, instantly turned the clouds and saw the sun, and kept the clouds open. The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, he turned to look at grandma, and said with a smile, "Grandma, Lan Shu will come to our house for dinner later." After speaking, he put down the pager and walked towards the kitchen. Washing hands, putting on an apron, and washing ingredients, this dinner is prepared by him¡ª When Lan Shu arrived at Grandma Lin''s house in the evening, what she ate was a taste she was all too familiar with. With just one bite, she knew it was Xiaobai who cooked the food. At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly realized that she was already so familiar with Xiao Bai. Even the taste of Xiaobai¡¯s cooking can be tasted in one bite¡ª At the dining table, Grandma Lin was still wondering, "Is Miss Lan really the fat, white and lucky little girl from the bun shop back then?" Although Grandma Lin is getting old, she can still remember the scene where a fat little girl and her little grandson were arguing on the bridge in front of their house. Especially the little grandson also lent clothes to that fat little girl. I didn''t expect that the fate I met at the beginning could last until now. Grandma Lin can tell that her little grandson likes other girls, otherwise she wouldn''t invite other girls to eat at home. Lan Shu was asked that she and Grandma Lin had a double-sided relationship. The first time was when she quarreled with Xiao Bai when they first met, and the second time she came to Grandma Lin''s house to return Xiao Bai''s shirt. So seeing Grandma Lin now, she didn''t feel unfamiliar at all, and immediately replied with a smile, "Yes, later I also felt that being too fat would affect my health, so I lost weight appropriately." "I used to be blessed to see fat and white girls, but now I see that there are no such good-looking girls in ten miles and eight villages! My little treasure is really lucky." (end of this chapter) Chapter 276: eighth day of august Chapter 276 Eighth day of August Grandma Lin accidentally spoke her mind. Now, Xiao Bai and Lan Shu, who were the parties involved, were embarrassed. Lan Shu thought that Xiaobai had said something to his grandma at home, but Xiaobai was surprised to find that nothing on his mind could escape his grandma''s eyes! Lan Shu originally wanted to explain what the old man said, but she gave up the idea when she saw Xiao Bai shaking her head slightly. She understands that most of the elderly are very stubborn, and it is difficult to change the facts they have identified. And Grandma Lin already thinks so, her explanation will only make the old man''s original good mood disappear. It''s the first time they sit together for dinner, the old man should be happy. So the two young people present tacitly gave up explaining. After eating, Lan Shu sat down for a while, and then was sent to the residence by Xiao Bai. Hearing Xiaobai say, "Lanshu, good night." Watching Xiaobai turn and leave... ¡­ In the next few days, Lan Shu could receive a pager from Xiao Bai every morning, ¡®Lan Shu, good morning. '' Then wait until Xiaobai brings breakfast. In the evening, Xiaobai sent a message to learn her location, and then waited for her at the gate of the factory. No matter how late it is, I will send her home. With Xiao Bai''s company, Lan Shu no longer feels lonely in her heart. One night, getting off work a little late, walking under the street lights, Lan Shu even asked Xiao Bai, "When will you be eighteen?" Learning that Xiaobai''s birthday is on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lan Shu was startled¡ª She suddenly remembered that she was celebrating the New Year in Kyoto a few years ago, and once received a call from Xiao Bai, who asked if she had time on the sixth day. It turned out that Lan Shu planned to return to Qingyang County on the fifth day of the junior high school. So, she missed Xiaobai''s seventeenth birthday? ! This made Lan Shu a little annoyed! She should have asked one more question when the sixth day was. Or no matter what the day is, Xiaobai actually asked, so I should stay an extra day! Thinking of this, Lan Shu decided to give Xiao Bai a good birthday this year! ¡­ A few days later, on the eighth day of August, it was the day when Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu got married. The day before, Lan Shu had already finished work in the two factories, and returned to Tianshui Village with Xiao Bai. This time back to Tianshui Village, Lan Shu did not ask Lan Dazhuang to pick them up, but the driver Master Zhang drove them back to their hometown. Before, Lan Shu didn''t want to drive the car to the village, because she would not be suspected of showing off her wealth. Now, her elder brother''s wedding is such an important event, as a younger sister, she must make her elder brother''s wedding a success. So to pick up the bride''s car, I decided to use a car to pick it up. Lan Dazhuang''s marriage is not a trivial matter. Out of etiquette, Lan Shengli called his cousin in Kyoto to let him know. It doesn''t matter if people don''t arrive, as long as the relatives are there, just explain to them. I never thought that relatives from Kyoto would come to the happy event of the Lan family in Tianshui Village. But no one expected that on the day before the wedding, in the afternoon, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan brought Lan Xinya to Tianshui Village! Lan Xinya had no plan to come to the country at first, she thought that after Lan Shu left, she would not have to think about meeting her biological parents at least for a short time. But she didn''t expect that she was brought to Tianshui Village by her parents after only resting at home for a week. It was the first time for Lan Xinya to come to Tianshui Village. Along the way, she looked at the farmland outside the village and the farmers working in the fields. Seeing that many villagers'' homes in the village are built with mud courtyard walls, and there are not many blue brick and tile houses, she couldn''t help frowning. Even if she arrives at the Lan''s house, she sees that the Lan''s house is not that bad, at least the house is built of bricks and tiles, but compared to the bustling Kyoto, such a house is still completely worthless, outdated! At the gate of Lan''s house, a black car is more conspicuously parked. A lot of adults and children in the village surrounded the car, and everyone looked surprised. Lan Xinya knew that the car was a bus from Lan Shu''s factory, and the uninformed villagers surrounding the car made Lan Xinya look down on, even despise, and despise the backward countryside. She didn''t have a good impression of the countryside from the beginning, so that she was picky about everything after she came here, and she didn''t like it anyway. The Lan family in Tianshui Village, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang never expected that someone from Kyoto would come. Now that people are here, his family can''t live there at all, and seeing their biological daughter''s expression of impatience, the couple accommodated the child and asked Shushu''s driver to drive the three of them to the county town to live in, and pick them up tomorrow morning. As for this arrangement, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan did as they please. When Lan Xinya heard that she didn''t have to live in the country at night, of course she would! As far as the rural environment is concerned, who knows if there will be bugs and mice in the house when she sleeps until midnight? In such a situation, she just couldn''t stand it just thinking about it. So that day, Lan Shu asked the driver, Master Zhang, to arrange the three of them to live in a guest house in the county seat. Although she has a house in the county town and there is no shortage of places to live, Lan Shu does not welcome Lan Xinya in her territory! ¡­ Early next morning, the eighth day of the eighth month, good luck, suitable for marriage. Shortly after six o''clock, Lan Shu woke up. Firecrackers were set off cracklingly in the yard, and the smell of gunpowder from the paper cannons penetrated into the house through the cracks in the windows. It was the first time that Lan Shu didn''t stay in bed at home. She got up, got dressed, and went outside to wash her face. In the kitchen, the smoke was rising, and Chang Chunfang had already made breakfast. Today''s breakfast is not simple at all, poached eggs, eight-treasure porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks. In addition to what the family eats, the bride will be picked up later, and those who send the bride off will also eat something to pad their stomachs first. While Lan Shu was having dinner, her brothers had already set off to the county seat to pick them up. Brother Lan''s marriage is such a big deal, and everyone in the family is ready! Lan Shu''s second brother, Lan Xiuming, returned from studying in Kyoto at the end of last month. He asked for leave from the hospital in Linjiang City the day before yesterday, and was at home early to prepare for his eldest brother''s wedding. Although the third brother Lan Sibo has returned to the laboratory of the Kyoto Academy of Agricultural Sciences not long ago and started a new experimental project, but the eldest brother''s marriage is naturally more important than anything else! So Lan Sibo also contacted his family after Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan, and Lan Xinya were sent to the county seat by car yesterday afternoon, and then returned home in Master Zhang''s car. Due to special reasons last night, Master Zhang stayed at Lan''s house. Early this morning, he took Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming to pick up the bride. Lan Sibo did not sit in the car, but followed behind with a tractor. Because there is only one car and the space is limited, when the bride is picked up, apart from the driver, only Lan Dazhuang and the bride are suitable to sit in the car. When the time comes back, Lan Xiuming still needs to sit on the tractor. (end of this chapter) Chapter 277: change clothes Chapter 277 Change a set of clothes Besides this, Lan Sibo still has tasks assigned by his parents. He was driving a tractor, and he wanted to bring back their distant relatives in Kyoto¡ªthe new parents of his younger sister, and his own sister, the three members of the Lan family in Kyoto. Lan Sibo was a little curious about his own sister. He hasn''t met his own sister yet, but he heard from his second brother yesterday that after their own sister returned home, she didn''t seem to like the family very much, and even stood in the yard with disgust. This made Lan Sibo wonder, how delicate is his sister who was born to the same parents as him? Actually despise his family, despise their family members? Lan Sibo only believed half of what the second brother said. It''s not that he doesn''t believe in his second brother''s observation, but that he feels that he has to see everything with his own eyes before he can fully believe it. It just so happened that today he went to pick up the three members of the Lan family in Kyoto. While going there, Lan Sibo drove the tractor that he was forced to learn when he went home for vacation last month, and sang a little song in a leisurely mood. At this moment, he still doesn''t know how far his psychological changes will be when he comes back! ¡­ Eight o''clock in the morning, Qingyang County, the second floor of the county reception. Xu Shan stood outside the door of the room, knocked on the door, and called inside, "Xinya, get up soon, your brother is coming downstairs to pick you up." Lan Xinya was lying on the bed, suffering from a cold and headache in summer. Because she really disliked the quilts in the guest house and felt that the things in the small place must be unclean, so she slept without covering them last night. In the first half of the night, it was quite cool with the electric fan on, but when the temperature dropped at night, it became cold with the electric fan on. As a result, Lan Xinya caught a slight cold on the first night when she came to Qingyang County. When she was sick and unwell, she heard the voice of her mother calling her to get up outside the door, and mentioned ''brother'' in the words. Lan Xinya frowned immediately, where did her brother come from? ! A moment later, Lan Xinya suddenly thought that her biological parents in the countryside seemed to have given birth to several sons. So the elder brother that mother is talking about is Lan Shu''s brothers from the countryside, right? Outside the door, Xu Shan was still knocking on the door, "Xinya, open the door quickly, today is your elder brother''s wedding day, we can''t be late!" Xu Shan had been standing outside the door and shouting for five or six minutes, but her daughter did not open the door. This made Xu Shan even worried that something happened to Lan Xinya? Just as Xu Shan was about to go downstairs and asked the front desk staff of the guest house to open the door, Xu Shan heard footsteps in the room, followed by the sound of the door opening. The door of the room opened, and today Lan Xinya was wearing a red dress. She is young and has a good figure. Her long hair is half tied back, and the red dress on her body makes her soft and bright. Originally, there was nothing wrong with dressing up like this, but today is the occasion for someone else to get married. She is wearing red for the wedding, and she feels a bit ''fighting'' with the bride. A woman''s wedding day is the most beautiful. Once Lan Xinya''s red body is worn, it will fall into the eyes of the guests, and many people will probably compare her with the bride. At that time, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed. Lan Xinya has confidence in her appearance, even though her facial features are not as good-looking as Lan Shu, but her urban temperament is not comparable to that of a bride in a small county. That''s why she is not afraid that she will not be able to compare with the bride in terms of beauty. Outside the door, Xu Shan frowned when she saw her adopted daughter dressed like this¡ª "Xinya, it''s not appropriate for you to wear red today, go and change." She said. "What''s inappropriate?" Lan Xinya didn''t take it seriously, "It''s the first time I go back to the country, so what''s wrong with dressing brightly?" This is what she thought at the beginning. She is a girl from a wealthy family in a big city. When she goes to the countryside, she must be amazing and let everyone pay attention to her. It would be even better if it could be more eye-catching than the bride! Such a scene can greatly satisfy her vanity. But now, mom actually asked herself to change out of her current clothes? "Mom, I didn''t bring too many clothes with me this time. One set was wrinkled yesterday and hasn''t been washed. Apart from the one I''m wearing now, I only have a milky white dress left." When someone else gets married, someone wears white, it will definitely make people point and point than wearing red! In this day and age, especially from the perspective of rural people, it is simply cursing that red things turn white. So in comparison, Lan Xinya''s red body is still acceptable. Xu Shan was hesitating whether to agree to let her adoptive daughter go downstairs in a red dress. At this time, Lan Weicheng, who was waiting downstairs for the mother and daughter to come down, couldn''t wait any longer! So he went upstairs to see what was taking so long. As a result, Lan Weicheng saw his adopted daughter wearing a red dress and preparing to go out¡ª "Xinya! What are you doing? Do you still understand etiquette? Is today the day you can wear red?!" Lan Weicheng was very angry. Seeing her adopted daughter dressed like this, she felt that her raised daughter was too ignorant! Besides, Xu Shan, a mother, couldn''t bear to see her daughter being yelled at, so she subconsciously opened her mouth to explain to her daughter. "Xinya brought three sets of clothes this time, except for the one on her body, the rest is a white skirt, which is really inappropriate..." "Then wear the yellow dress she wore yesterday!" Lan Weicheng absolutely does not allow Lan Xinya to wear red or white at the wedding. When Lan Xinya heard her father''s words, she immediately felt aggrieved, "Dad, I wore the skirt yesterday for a whole day, and I was sweating in such a hot weather. I wore it to bed last night, and it was so wrinkled that I couldn''t wear it anymore!" "Why can''t you wear it?" Now it''s Lan Weicheng''s turn to not understand. "When the clothes are wrinkled, they will be wrinkled. What''s the point? Besides, who doesn''t sweat when wearing clothes in this weather? Even if you wear new clothes and wait until you go to the village, you will still be covered in sweat!" Lan Weicheng doesn''t listen to his adopted daughter''s reasons, he only knows one thing¡ª "Hurry up and go back to your room and change your clothes. We''re going downstairs to go!" Lan Weicheng said. Seeing her father being so determined, Lan Xinya''s aggrieved eyes filled with tears. She wanted to resist, but she thought that her monthly pocket money of 200 yuan was given by her father. Once she violated her father''s request, if her father got angry and reduced her pocket money, it would be terrible! So in the end Lan Xinya could only go back to her room and put on the yellow dress she wore yesterday. ¡­ At this time, downstairs in the guest house, Lan Sibo sat in the driver''s seat of the tractor, and waited for a long time before the family of three from the Lan family in Jingdu arrived. Lan Sibo was wearing a long-sleeved white shirt, black pants, and a watch on his wrist. He just glanced at the time, and the family upstairs has been whimpering for more than 20 minutes. If he waits any longer, he won''t be able to keep up with his elder brother. (end of this chapter) Chapter 278: Poor? Chapter 278 Poor? Eldest brother gets married, he is the one who picks up the bride, although the second brother has already gone, but there can''t be only one pick-up, so the eldest brother is too embarrassing! Fortunately, just when Lan Sibo couldn''t wait, Lan Weicheng''s family walked out of the gate of the guest house. Lan Sibo immediately urged the three of them, "Hurry up, we are going to my sister-in-law''s house as soon as possible!" Because of being too hasty, for a while, Lan Sibo didn''t even have time to take a closer look at his own sister. Lan Sibo''s outfit today looks like a spirited young man, and most people can have a good impression of him when they see him, but in Lan Xinya''s eyes, Lan Shu, this brother, hurriedly urged them as soon as they met. rude! So Lan Xinya''s first impression of Lan Sibo was not very good. Later, she discovered that the car that came to pick them up today was no longer the car from yesterday, but a tractor with a flatbed behind it! Is it to let them sit on a tractor and drink wind and eat dirt along the way? Lan Xinya''s complexion became ugly almost on the spot! She was about to say something, but the next second, her parents had already climbed onto the tractor¡ª "Xinya, come up quickly, don''t waste your brother''s time." Lan Weicheng said. Her dad said so, how can Lan Xinya complain? So she had no choice but to get on the tractor with a face of reluctance. Listening to the sound of the tractor, "chug chug chug...", she left the guest house. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming had already arrived at the Tang family. Before, the Lan family had already taken away the gift money and the three major items with the Tang family. It stands to reason that today they could pick up the bride by following the local wedding customs. But what Lan Dazhuang didn''t expect was that when he walked into the gate of Tang''s house and stood in the yard, he found a group of relatives blocking the door. Everyone had to accept red envelopes before he could be allowed into the house to pick up relatives. There were festive yelling sounds from around, and they asked him for a red envelope in a joking posture. Before Lan Dazhuang came, his parents were very polite and stuffed a few red envelopes into his pockets. But how can those few red envelopes be enough for so many people now? Even Lan Xiuming at the side felt that the Tang family''s approach was inappropriate. It almost caught them off guard! In order to make his eldest brother''s marriage go smoothly, Lan Xiuming immediately left the Tang family, and went to some nearby shops to exchange the great unity on his body for small change. Although there is no red envelope wrapped in red paper, as long as those relatives of the Tang family who block the door get the money, who would care if it is wrapped in red paper? After Lan Xiuming went back with the money and gave 50 cents to each person blocking the door, someone finally stepped aside. But there are still some relatives of the Tang family who are not satisfied. "It''s only fifty cents, how about sending a beggar? At least one... two yuan!" One person is two yuan, and there are at least 17 or 18 people blocking the door. The sum of this money is directly equivalent to a month''s wages for ordinary workers in the county. If you really want to send money out without blinking an eye, then you are really being taken advantage of. After all, the gift money for a family to attend a wedding banquet in this era is only two or three dollars. If the relationship is very close and the family conditions are good, the gift money of five dollars will be accompanied. Lan Xiuming frowned slightly when he heard that the other party asked for two yuan. Although Lan Dazhuang knew that there should not be such a way to pick up a relative, in order to get a wife smoothly, he decided to admit it through gritted teeth! It''s just that he came out today to pick up the bride, and he didn''t bring any money with him. Although Lan Xiuming brought some, who would carry dozens of dollars every day, which is almost a month''s salary? The big unity he just went to a nearby store to exchange is the largest denomination he carries. The rest is only a few yuan in change, and the total sum is not enough for the requirements of the relatives of the Tang family who are blocking the door. Fortunately, at this time, the sound of a tractor sounded outside the door. Lan Xiuming immediately walked out of the gate of the Tang family, saw the third brother, and asked Lan Sibo to take out all the money on his body without saying a word! Although Lan Sibo didn''t know what was going on, he still listened to what his second brother said. So he dug out all the pockets on his body and only scraped together a dozen or so yuan. This little money plus what Lan Xiuming originally brought was still a little short. In the end, Lan Weicheng took out a few cards from the Great Unity and came out to support, which solved the problem. Over there, Lan Xiuming was busy going to a nearby business store to change change. Here, Lan Sibo jumped off the tractor, told Lan Weicheng''s family of three to wait for him in the car, and then headed towards the gate of the Tang family. But he hadn''t taken a few steps when he heard a burst of laughter behind him¡ª "It costs about ten yuan for the whole body, heh~ I''m really poor." Although Lan Xinya spoke in a low voice, she was not too evasive, and Lan Sibo could clearly hear this sentence! Lan Sibo paused slightly, he really didn''t expect that his own sister would say such words of contempt for his brother! At this time, Lan Weicheng''s scolding voice followed Lan Xinya''s ridicule, "Xinya! How did you talk?!" Seeing that her father was obviously unhappy, Lan Xinya immediately shut up, looking obedient. Hearing that the three members of the Lan family in Jingdu didn''t all look down on him, Lan Sibo sighed in his heart and continued towards the Tang family. Big brother''s marriage is the most important right now, and other things have to be put in the back row. ¡­ More than ten minutes later, the Tang family had the change that Lan Xiuming had exchanged, and after distributing it to the relatives of the Tang family who were blocking the door, Lan Dazhuang finally got his wish, entered the Tang family''s house, and received daughter in law. At this moment, Tang Chu was wearing a red cheongsam, her hair was tied up, and a red flower was pinned to her bun. She had light makeup on her face, her eyes were slightly red, and she didn''t know whether she was crying or angry. She also heard the incident of asking for money from her relatives outside the door. According to Tang Chu''s temperament, she originally wanted to go out and go with her man. But in the room, her mother and grandma stopped her. Her mother said that these are all rules, to help her test whether the man outside the door loves her or not. And her grandma said that the rules must be fulfilled, otherwise her marriage will not be happy. This sentence almost reached the bottom of Tang Chu''s heart. She hoped that she and Brother An De could live happily ever after, so she endured it. Now that he finally sees her man, Tang Chu is about to leave with him immediately! Before she leaves, she has one more thing to do! Tang Chu looked at the two brothers beside Lan Dazhuang, and then said in front of the whole yard, "Bicycle, sewing machine, watch, these are the three major things my man gave me." "Now I''m going to get married, everyone be a witness for me, today I''m going to marry with my things." After speaking, Tang Chu immediately greeted the two brothers from the Lan family, walked to her grandmother''s house, and moved her things away¡ª No matter how reluctant or reconciled her grandma is, she will never let her grandma take advantage of her again! (end of this chapter) Chapter 279: Pig Chapter 279 Pig Raising Ten minutes later, the bicycle and sewing machine were moved to the tractor, and Tang Chu followed Lan Dazhuang out of the gate of Tang''s courtyard and got into a shiny black car. As the car drove away, the tractor also ''chug...'' away. The relatives of the Tang family were left watching the old lady Tang cursing in the yard, yelling that her granddaughter was a wolf-eyed and heartless. Some of the few relatives were talking in low voices, "In the early Tang Dynasty, you can sit in a car when you get married. It seems that you are married well!" "That''s for sure! I heard that the other party gave a bride price of 500 yuan, and there are three more things." "Even if the three major items are taken away by Tang Chu''s cousin, there are still five hundred yuan~ The old lady is a little greedy." "The old lady is short-sighted. Someone who can marry in a car must be in good condition. If it were me, I would definitely establish a good relationship with my in-laws. If I encounter problems in the future, I will ask the other party for help, which is better than asking for money now." "..." The onlooker is clear, and many people can understand things, but it is a pity that Mrs. Tang only recognizes the immediate interests. In her opinion, if her granddaughter gets married, she is just throwing water out. It will not be easy to get benefits from her granddaughter in the future. And what she is doing now is to severely offend the Lan family who could have brought their Tang family to prosperity! In the future, the two families will have nothing to do with each other except for going around during the holidays¡ª ¡­ On the other side, on the way back to Tianshui Village. Master Zhang was running in front in his Santana, and Lan Sibo was behind on the tractor, besides Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan, and Lan Xinya, there were also bicycles and sewing machines. Fortunately, the pull plate hanging behind the tractor is relatively spacious, so it does not appear crowded. Lan Xinya stood on the tractor, looked at the black car in front, and compared with the tractor she was sitting on now, driving through the dirt road in the village, filled with dust and smog all the way, Lan Xinya''s mood became worse and worse! Lan Weicheng next to him could see the displeasure of his adopted daughter, so he decided to say something to divert his adopted daughter''s attention. So Lan Weicheng asked Lan Sibo who was driving a tractor, "Second nephew, you drive a tractor well." "That is." Lan Sibo replied, "Last month I drove a tractor to the county town to help my elder brother with work." Speaking of driving a tractor, Lan Sibo felt a little complacent. He learned all afternoon and was able to master the technique of driving a tractor with ease. His learning ability is really strong~! After hearing Lan Sibo''s words, Lan Xinya realized that the young man driving the tractor in front was her blood brother. Regarding the situation of the Lan family in the countryside, Lan Xinya went there with her parents yesterday, and she has already met the eldest and second child of the Lan family. She knows that the Lan family has three brothers, so this is the third brother of the Lan family, right? Thinking that she was about to go back to see the unfamiliar family members of that family, Lan Xinya decided to let herself know a little bit about the three brothers of the Lan family. So Lan Xinya hesitated for a moment, and asked Lan Sibo. "What do your brothers do?" In one sentence, ''your family'' don''t mention your birthright! Lan Sibo frowned immediately after hearing this. Although he heard from his second brother that his sister disliked the family, the feeling he saw with his own eyes was completely different from what he had heard from his second brother! On the tractor, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan heard Lan Xinya talking to their cousin''s second child so distantly, the couple wanted to preach to Lan Xinya. But Lan Sibo''s voice sounded first. "What is your family? You are my sister, and our family will be yours in the future." Lan Sibo already knew that his own sister hated the family, so he deliberately said this to let Lan Xinya understand that she has nothing to do with their family! As for what Lan Xinya asked, Lan Sibo replied after a little thought¡ª "My eldest brother usually farms in the village, and the second brother is better off. After leaving the village, he works as a doctor in a hospital outside. As for me..." Lan Sibo turned his head and glanced at Lan Xinya, "What do you think I do?" "How do I know what you do?" Lan Xinya frowned. Just now the third son of the Lan family said that their home is hers, and she doesn''t like to hear that! Now that the other party speaks to her in such a familiar tone, in Lan Xinya''s eyes, Lan Sibo is a stranger, deliberately trying to get close to her! So her first reaction was to keep her distance. Seeing that Lan Xinya didn''t answer his words, Lan Sibo was not angry, he replied softly, "I help people raise pigs." He is in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and his job is to research and breed hybrid pigs, so it is not a lie to say that he raises pigs. After finishing speaking, Lan Sibo turned his head to look at Lan Xinya again, almost without much surprise, he saw a disgusted expression on Lan Xinya''s face. This sister is really... let him down. Lan Sibo smiled wryly. He thought he was about to see his own sister, but he still had expectations and joy, but now those emotions have all been transformed into indescribable words. On the tractor, Lan Xinya heard that the third son of the Lan family raised pigs, of course she hated it! Pigs are so dirty and smelly, and the people who raise them will inevitably smell disgusting. Although she didn''t smell any peculiar smell from the third son of the Lan family at the moment, when she heard his work, Lan Xinya couldn''t help but think of the third son of the Lan family covered in pig feces in her mind. She felt that she should stay away from this blue blog, so as not to get dirty things on her body. So along the way, Lan Xinya didn''t speak any more, and Lan Sibo was also silent. Although Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan knew that Xinya''s behavior just now was not very polite, but based on their understanding of their daughter, they couldn''t force their daughter to get close to her family. Xinya herself could not accept that she was not their own. Once the couple persuaded her to get along with her brother too much, Xinya would only feel that they would push her away. In order to avoid counterproductive consequences, let¡¯s take one step at a time. ¡­ The tractor drove into Tianshui Village and stopped at the gate of Lan''s house. Lan Sibo jumped off the tractor, and said to the uncle and aunt Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, "I''ll go in and help first." Then diameter into the house. At this moment, Lan Dazhuang had already entered the house with his wife, and the firecrackers were crackling in the courtyard, surrounded by neighbors. Just now everyone watched the bride enter the door, now waiting for the wedding ceremony to start, the atmosphere is quite lively. When Lan Sibo arrived at home, he met his second brother first, and then listened to his parents'' arrangements, helping to move tables and set up stools in the yard, and after the wedding ceremony, he would also invite neighbors from the village to have a meal . Behind, Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan and his wife brought Lan Xinya into the gate of Lan''s courtyard. Feeling the lively surroundings, Lan Weicheng pushed the elbow of his adoptive daughter beside him, "Go to the main room, meet your parents, and say hello." This is the most basic polite question when you come to someone else''s house. Lan Xinya knew that she could not escape being in contact with those people, so she took a deep breath, with a resigned expression, and walked towards the main house of the Lan family with heavy steps. Looking like that is incompatible with the lively atmosphere of the Lan family today¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 280: No one can underestimate it! Chapter 280 No one should underestimate it! Lan''s house, Westinghouse side room, Lan Dazhuang''s room. Tang Chu, as today''s bride, married into the Tang family. She was both happy and nervous. Fortunately, Lan Shu stayed with her in the room for a while, which relieved her nervousness as a bride. "You sit and rest for a while, and you have to go to the ceremony later, don''t worry, my brothers are here, no one dares to play with the marriage, it''s just a normal worship process." Lan Shu said softly. Her words made Tang Chu heave a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Director Lan." When Tang Chu called her, Lan Shu shook her head, "After you marry my eldest brother, you will be my sister-in-law, and you don''t need to call me the factory manager anymore." Regarding this, Tang Chu had an opinion. "That can''t be done, Director Lan... Otherwise, we will call each other by name at home, and in the factory, I will call you Director?" Seeing Tang Chu being so stubborn, Lan Shu could only nod her head in agreement, "Alright then." After comforting Tang Chu here, Lan Shu left the room, ready to go to the main room to see the situation, and by the way, ask her parents when the wedding ceremony will start. Lan Shu walked out the door, looked up and glanced, the second brother and the third brother were busy setting the table. Xiaobai should still be helping in the kitchen right now. In the crowd, her biological parents, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, walked towards her. Lan Shu knew that Lan Xinya was also here this time, and she had met with her yesterday, but now she didn''t see anyone. She was even thinking, could it be that Lan Xinya stayed in the guest house today and didn''t plan to attend the wedding? At this time, she heard the voice of her adoptive father Lan Shengli from the other side of the main room¡ª "Fathers and elders, apart from my eldest brother getting married today, there is another happy event. This is our daughter, named Lan Xinya..." Before Lan Shengli finished speaking, Lan Shu had already seen Lan Xinya frowning, and walked out of the main room with an obvious expression of impatience. She didn''t want to hear her biological parents announce her identity in public, so she flinched? Lan Shu was also a little helpless about this matter. Her adoptive parents knew that Lan Xinya didn''t want to accept them, but they couldn''t keep them in a good mood today, so they made an announcement in public. Before, parents clearly said that their biological daughters did not recognize them, and they did not force them anymore, but now... "Oh~" Lan Shu sighed. Blood ties are constantly being cut, and she is her own daughter. No matter what, they can''t break the relationship completely. In the Lan''s yard, the neighbors in the village didn''t know about the wrong embrace of the Lan''s own daughter. Hearing Lan Shengli''s words at this time, someone glanced at the girl who was dressed in a foreign style and looked like she grew up in the city, but who was obviously not close to Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang. "This girl is the daughter of the Lan family couple? Who is the fat girl from the Lan family?" someone said. In the past, Lan Shu was deeply impressed by the fat people in the village, so even if she has lost weight now, some people will still call her by her old name. "My little sister Lan is not fat now, and she''s doing well outside~" "Isn''t Lan Xiaomei the daughter of the Shengli couple? Let me tell you~ Lan Xiaomei looks so good after losing weight, she doesn''t look like the Shengli couple!" "The daughter of the Shengli couple looks quite arrogant, and I don''t know whether to call them parents..." "..." Seeing the discussion getting louder, Lan Shu frowned. She suddenly felt that her adoptive father really shouldn''t have announced it today! Is today the time to talk about the daughter of the Lan family? Today is the day when the elder brother gets married, and the eldest brother and Tang Chu are the protagonists of today! So Lan Shu immediately walked to the middle of the yard, raised her voice, and shouted, "If you have any questions that are not related to the wedding, let''s talk about it later. My elder brother''s wedding is about to start, so everyone will rewind the things you are concerned about." put." Lan Shu''s words were like a reminder at this moment, and quickly made the neighbors who were interested in the gossip of the Lan family think that today''s wedding is the most important thing. Gradually, there were fewer discussions in the crowd. Even though there were still people who were full of curiosity about the fact that the Lan family suddenly had two daughters, they did not bring it up to the Lan family. Not far away, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo saw the younger sister and they stepped forward to control the scene before they saw the younger sister. The two brothers gave their younger sister a thumbs up in their hearts. Lan Dazhuang also came out of the main room, looked into the eyes of the little girl, and couldn''t hide his gratitude. Just when this incident was about to pass, a sharp and harsh voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the Lan Family Courtyard¡ª "Don''t let people tell what happened to your Lan family? If I don''t come today, I don''t know that your Lan family is such a bully! Back then, we tricked our family into marrying a dead girl of unknown origin!" "It''s this kind of low-quality stuff that I don''t know where I picked it up. My son doesn''t like it. It''s right to divorce your family, but even let my son lose money. I think it''s your Lan family who should lose money!" Lan Shu turned her head to look over, and immediately recognized that the speaker was Xu Yunjie''s wife! She did not expect that Mrs. Xu would come to the door today on her elder brother''s wedding day! ? Besides, the Lan family got married on a good day, but the other party shouted loudly for divorce, which made Lan Shu feel angry all of a sudden! "Xiaobai, throw out this old man who is barking all over his mouth!" Lan Shu didn''t want to get entangled with this old lady, so as not to spoil the big brother''s good deeds. And when she shouted, Xiao Bai, who had just been helping in the kitchen, strode out. Seeing Mrs. Xu, he stepped forward and grabbed her clothes by the nape of her neck, and pulled her out of the door¡ª Seeing the young girl of the Lan family being so rude, the villagers and neighbors who came to the Lan family''s wedding today were all shocked by Lan Shu''s directness! This kind of behavior of calling someone to throw away the troublesome old lady Xu at the slightest disagreement, the young girl of the Lan family is really courageous in doing things! No wonder they can get along so well outside, cars can drive here. Mrs. Xu was not reconciled to being forcibly blown away. She immediately waved her limbs and struggled, yelling, "I am a **** of unknown origin, why don''t you let me tell you? Is there any reason?!" Hearing Mrs. Xu''s yelling, before Xiaobai could drive her away, Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan and his wife were already blocking Xiaobai with angry faces. Xu Shan stepped forward, "Slap!" Two slaps slapped Mrs. Xu on the face, leaving two red finger prints. Lan Weicheng also grabbed Xiaobai''s wrist and asked him to let go of him. There are some things that he must make clear! "Who said our family''s origin is unknown?" Lan Weicheng glared angrily at the old woman who was so mean at first glance, and said, "Although our Lan family is not a famous person in Kyoto, we are not easy to provoke!" "Kyoto... Lan''s family?" Mrs. Xu was a little stunned by the sudden two slaps, and then she heard the words of this middle-aged man who appeared in front of her. "¡­What''s the meaning?" She still doesn''t understand what happened to the man and woman in front of her, one involuntarily said that she hit her, and the other mentioned Kyoto? (end of this chapter) Chapter 281: marry a rich man Chapter 281 Marry a rich man After that, Mrs. Xu heard Lan Weicheng say every word. "Shushu is the daughter of our family. My daughter married into your family when she met someone who was unkind. Fortunately, she has nothing to do with your family now." After Lan Weicheng finished speaking, Xu Shan continued, "Not everyone can underestimate the children of our family! Why divorce and lose money? Our family is not short of money! In the future, if my sister-in-law remarries, let alone, we will be parents Yes, give your daughter fifty thousand as a dowry!" The reason why Xu Shan is so confident is because she has heard from her husband that Shu Shu manages the cosmetics counter very well. Based on the profitability of the cosmetics counter, it is not a problem at all to give Shu Shu a dowry of 50,000. Even the money was earned by Shushu''s idea, so it is reasonable to give it to Shushu when the time comes. As for the dowry of 50,000 yuan, this sentence fell into the ears of the villagers in Tianshui Village, and everyone was shocked! That''s fifty thousand! Not five hundred, not five thousand! Are the Lan families who came to Tianshui Village from Kyoto so rich? These words even shocked Mrs. Xu who came to make trouble and froze in place! As long as anyone marries Lan Shu, they can get a dowry of 50,000 yuan, which is simply a blessing in disguise. Not to mention that Lan Shu has lost weight and looks better now, she is as fat as she used to be, and I am afraid that some people marry her for money! At this moment, Mrs. Xu suddenly felt that it was a big mistake for her son to choose to divorce Lan Shu before! If Lan Shu is still her daughter-in-law, how can she share the 50,000 yuan, right? In addition to the shock of Mrs. Xu, Lan Xinya was slightly taken aback when she heard her mother say that she would give Lan Shu a dowry of 50,000 yuan in the corner of Lan''s courtyard. Lan Shu has 50,000 yuan, so if she gets married, the dowry should not be less, right? For this reason, Lan Xinya even had the idea of ??marrying herself as soon as possible¡ª In the yard of Lan''s house in Tianshui Village, Xu Shan said that she would be dowry at 50,000 yuan. Some people were shocked and some doubted her words. Neighbors who have a good relationship with Lan Shengli''s family even tentatively asked Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, "Is your relative so rich?" Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t know how much money their cousin''s family had, but they knew that Weicheng''s cousin''s family was in business. So Lan Shengli replied, "My cousin''s family is doing business in Kyoto..." There is no need to explain the rest, the old neighbors in the surrounding villages already know that the big boss of the business must not be short of money! Lan Shengli and his wife can have such relatives, they are really developed~! Here, after Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan taught the people who came to trouble their daughter, Lan Shu immediately asked Xiaobai to drive Mrs. Xu away. Before leaving, Lan Shu still didn''t forget to explain some things clearly, "I divorced Xu Yunjie, and the money Xu Yunjie gave me was owed to our family for his school expenses in those two years." After finishing speaking, without Lanshu''s orders, Xiaobai had already grabbed Mrs. Xu by the arm and threw her out of the gate of Lan''s house! After the person in the way left, it was finally the turn of Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu''s wedding ceremony. As Lan Shu said, with the three brothers from the Lan family, no one among the guests who came to the wedding today would dare to make any trouble. Two people worship heaven and earth once, worship high hall twice, husband and wife worship each other, and then the ceremony is completed. From now on, Secretary Tang is a member of the Lan family. At noon, the guests who came to the wedding had a delicious meal at Lan''s house, and then dispersed one after another. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan originally wanted to stay and help clean up, but they were persuaded by Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang. The visitor is a guest, how can you make the guest work? So Lan Weicheng''s family of three didn''t stay for too long, and Lan Shu asked the driver, Master Zhang, to send them back to the county guest house. ¡­ The next day, Lan Dazhuang was newly married, and Tang Chu, as the daughter-in-law of the Lan family, got up early in the morning and went to the kitchen to prepare the family''s breakfast. But when she got to the kitchen, she saw that Chang Chunfang had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law enter the kitchen, she was obviously here to do some work. Such a diligent daughter-in-law made Chang Chunfang very satisfied. But her son married a daughter-in-law and didn¡¯t let the daughter-in-law come to work at home, Chang Chunfang said to Tang Chu¡ª "I heard from Da Zhuang that you work in the county and you may not have much time to live in the village in the future. Don''t worry, when you come to our house, the family will not force you to work at home. If you want to continue to work, you can go to work. If you want to live in the village, stay." Chang Chunfang gave Tang Chu the best choice. Before Tang Chu got married, she also thought that she might not be able to continue working after she got married. Now that her mother-in-law said so, Tang Chu finally felt at ease. "Thank you, Mom." Tang Chu said, and suddenly thought, Da Zhuang? is her man''s nickname at home? is quite appropriate... ¡­ Lan Shu didn''t wake up until 8:30 in the morning. Walking out of her room and eating the food left by her parents in the kitchen, she saw her elder brother, second elder brother, third elder brother, Xiao Bai, and Tang Chu walking in from the door. At this time, Tang Chu''s face was still slightly shocked. It was obvious that she had experienced something extraordinary just now. Lan Shu didn''t know why, so she looked at Xiao Bai. Soon, she learned through Xiaobai that the few of them went to the back mountain after eating early this morning, wandered around the orchard, and went to the free-range chicken farm to feed the chickens. Because there are more and more chickens in free-range chicken farms, Lan Dazhuang plans to expand the size of the chicken farm these days. It happened that the younger brothers were all at home, and Xiaobai was also a labor force, so they would go to the county later to buy some fence rope nets for expanding the chicken farm, and then started working. The reason why Tang Chu was surprised was because she used to think that Lan Dazhuang was just a peasant farming in the countryside. Although Lan Dazhuang would bring her some eggs from time to time, Tang Chu only thought that he had chickens in the countryside, so he only had eggs. . But today she followed up the mountain and saw hundreds of chickens in several orchards and free-range chicken farms. Tang Chu was surprised to find that her man had so many properties! Even if the orchard and the free-range chicken farm belong to the four brothers and sisters of the Lan family, it is still a lot of assets to share equally with each of them. Before Tang Chu got married, he never thought that he would marry a rich man! In the yard, when the brothers of the Lan family were discussing who would go to the county to buy things for the expansion of the chicken farm, outside the door, there was a sound of a tractor coming from far and near. Afterwards, Lan Shu saw Lan Weicheng, Xu Shan, and Lan Xinya coming to Tianshui Village again. The tractor the three of them were sitting on was hired by someone else in the county. At yesterday''s wedding, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were busy entertaining guests, so they didn''t sit down and talk properly. After finally coming to Tianshui Village, Lan Weicheng hoped that Xinya would have more opportunities to communicate with her biological parents. Let¡¯s come to Tianshui Village again today, and they will return to Kyoto tomorrow. Didn¡¯t update yesterday because it¡¯s sunny T0T¡­ Fever up to 38.9, back pain, headache completely unable to sit still, even taking antipyretics. Today is a little bit better, 37.8, the back pain has changed to leg pain, although it is still uncomfortable, but I can still write Braille. I feel uncomfortable these days, try to update as much as possible. (end of this chapter) Chapter 282: hot Chapter 282 Hot head Learning about Lan Weicheng''s intentions, Lan Dazhuang immediately ran to the village brigade and the village primary school to call his parents back. And the matter of the Lan brothers going to the county town to buy materials for the expansion of the chicken farm was temporarily delayed. Lan''s house, when her biological parents came to the house, Lan Shu originally wanted to ask her parents to sit down first, and then she went to pour tea for them. It turned out that it was not her turn to do these things at all. The two brothers of the Lan family and Xiao Bai had already done it properly. Besides, Lan Xinya, as the biological daughter of this family, saw the two blood brothers in front of her, and she couldn''t help sizing them up. She knew that the eldest brother of the Lan family was a farmer, the second child was a doctor somewhere, and the third child raised pigs. Among the three brothers, the second is considered to be a good one. She suddenly thought that if she had not been wronged at the beginning, but had grown up in the countryside, she would probably be a rustic village girl now. Fortunately, fortunately, my life has changed from the very beginning. When Lan Xinya looked at the brothers of the Lan family, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo also observed the sister in front of them who had not grown up with them. At the wedding yesterday, Lan Xinya slapped her parents, which made the two brothers unhappy. It seems that a few people came to see their parents today, so the two brothers did not show any displeasure. Looking at the three brothers and sisters looking at each other speechlessly, Lan Weicheng coughed lightly and looked at his adopted daughter, "Xinya, these are your brothers." Lan Weicheng could see that the adopted daughter and the brothers of the Lan family were very strange, so he opened his mouth to build a bridge between them and create opportunities for them to talk. It''s a pity that Lan Xinya couldn''t understand her father''s meaning, she just followed Lan Weicheng''s words and replied, "Oh." Next, there was another silence in the main hall of the Lan Family Hall. Seeing Lan Xinya''s reaction, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo frowned slightly. They could see that their sister looked at them with arrogance and contempt. This kind of look is not unfamiliar to them. They went to school and work a few years ago, because they came from the countryside, they also saw it more or less from the eyes of some people at first. But in the end, those who despised them were all compared by them. Now, the two of them didn''t expect that such eyes would appear from their own sister''s eyes! The younger sister looked down on the elder brother, which made the two elder brothers feel cold. Compared to Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo had realized yesterday that his own sister looked down on him because he said he was raising pigs for others. Lan Sibo didn''t expect that even his second brother, a doctor, would be despised today. At this moment, Lan Sibo even wanted to ask what kind of job his own sister does? Even the profession of doctor can''t catch her eyes? Aside, Lan Xinya''s attitude fell into Lan Shu''s eyes. It''s not easy to say anything because someone is related to her, but she is not used to him at all! "When I came home to see my brother, he didn''t even say hello. Are people who grew up in big cities so rude?" While speaking, Lan Shu glanced coldly at Lan Xinya''s face. Lan Xinya has never been preached in person like this before. Especially the person talking about her at the moment is the Lanshu she hates the most! But what Lan Shu said was actually true, so much so that she couldn''t find a reason to refute it. So Lan Xinya looked at Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo with an awkward expression on her face, and called out, "Brother." The elder brother screamed reluctantly, so Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo didn''t respond, and the atmosphere was awkward. After waiting for another twenty minutes, outside the door, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came back one after another. Seeing their biological daughter at home, the couple were very happy, and both of them even subconsciously chose to forget the ugly behavior that Lan Xinya made them in public yesterday. After Lan Shengli looked at his biological daughter, he turned to look at Weicheng''s cousin, "Cousin, younger siblings, should you stay home for lunch today?" He wants to spend more time with his daughter. Lan Weicheng brought his adopted daughter here today, which is also what he meant, so he immediately nodded and agreed, "Just eat whatever you want, don''t be too troublesome." He meant what he said, but when Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang saw their biological daughter come back, how could they not prepare a table of good food? Fortunately, Da Zhuang got married yesterday and prepared a lot of ingredients at home, enough to make another table today. Looking at how her adoptive parents were busy making food for Lan Xinya, Lan Shu sighed inwardly. With such parents, Lan Xinya still doesn''t know how to cherish them! Although Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t have the kindness of nurturing Lan Xinya, but they always have the kindness of birth, right? As long as Lan Xinya has a heart, she shouldn''t treat her two family members who are full of kindness to her with such a lukewarm attitude. Seeing Lan Xinya''s attitude, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo were even worried about their little sister. Lan Xiuming looked at Lan Shu and asked in a low voice, "Little sister, when you went to Kyoto, how did the Lan family treat you?" How about it?" "My parents are very good to me, Lan Xinya is an exception." Lan Shu answered truthfully. After hearing what the little girl said, the brothers of the Lan family finally felt relieved. At noon, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang prepared a table of delicious dishes, and the two of them were really happy before the dinner table. The brothers of the Lan family are already disliked by their own sister because of her attitude. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also saw that the adopted daughter avoided everyone in the Lan family. This was not their original intention of bringing Xinya to Tianshui Village at all! Lan Weicheng just felt embarrassed, and Xu Shan also wanted to find an opportunity to talk about their family Xinya, but Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t seem to notice it at all. Perhaps they have actually noticed that their biological daughters reject them, even dislike them. But at this time, they don''t care so much when they can see their biological daughter more. After finishing the meal awkwardly, Lan Xinya has already proposed to leave. "It''s not easy to keep people waiting for a tractor hired outside." Lan Xinya said. As soon as she heard that her daughter even hired a tractor when she came back, Chang Chunfang immediately told her eldest son, "Da Zhuang, go outside and tell someone to let them go back. Later, you will drive a tractor to take your uncle, aunt and sister back to the county." Lan Dazhuang was going to the county seat later, so it didn''t matter if he brought the three of them along. So he immediately obeyed the order and went outside to let the tractor driver leave. Now, Lan Xinya, who originally wanted to leave, saw that she couldn''t leave, and she immediately turned pale! She was about to go out with the boss of the Lan family to stop him, but the next second, Lan Xinya heard her biological parents from the Lan family say one by one. "Xinya, we asked Shushu to bring you 500 yuan for your engagement and dowry during Chinese New Year last year, but later because of an accident, we didn''t give you the money." Chang Chunfang said. "This time when you come back, it''s the first time you come home, and your parents have nothing to give you. We have prepared five hundred yuan for you." While speaking, Lan Shengli took out a red envelope from his pocket. From the thickness of the red envelope, it is not difficult to see that there is a stack of banknotes inside. (end of this chapter) Chapter 283: dislike Chapter 283 Dislike Lan Xinya did not expect that her biological parents in the countryside could really come up with 500 yuan! Although she was surprised, when she heard them mention her engagement accident, Lan Xinya felt that she had lost all face in front of them! Five hundred yuan is only enough for two and a half months of living expenses, so Lan Xinya looks down on these money now. "No need, you keep the money." She refused. Hearing that his biological daughter was unwilling to accept the red envelope, Lan Shengli was slightly taken aback, and then he was eager to put the red envelope into his daughter''s hand immediately. Lan Xinya had already said that she didn''t want money, but now someone forced it to her, which made her frown immediately in displeasure. "I don''t want your money!" Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan on the side saw that the adopted daughter did not accept money at first, thinking that the adopted daughter would grow up and be sensible, knowing that it is not easy to have money in the countryside, so they refused. But now, Lan Xinya''s sentence was obviously annoying, ''I don''t want your money! ¡¯ Let Lan Weicheng hear the meaning of disgust. So he misunderstood before. It''s not that Xinya has grown up and is sensible, but she doesn''t like the money? This made Lan Weicheng''s expression a little heavy, he didn''t know what went wrong, why did his raised daughter look like this? Perhaps it was because Lan Xinya''s voice of rejection was louder, which made Lan Shengli stop stuffing money. Besides, the three brothers of the Lan family couldn''t stand it any longer. Lan Xiuming stepped forward and grabbed Lan Shengli''s elbow, "Father, keep it, she won''t let it go." A ''she'', the strangeness in the tone is obvious. Immediately afterwards, Lan Sibo also said, "Father, it''s not easy for you and Mom to save some money, so keep it. When she gets married in the future, you can give the money in time." What the two younger brothers said was also on Lan Dazhuang''s mind, but he was stupid, and the younger brothers had already said it before he thought of it. After the two brothers of the Lan family finished speaking, Lan Weicheng also stood up to persuade, "Cousin, my child, don''t be so polite, don''t worry, Xinya will have money to spend with us, and she won''t suffer." Lan Weicheng actually meant well when he said this, but the words fell into the ears of Lan Shengli and his wife, as if their daughter was being raised by others. Even if they are cousins, there is no reason for them to be raised~! At this moment, Lan Shengli lowered his head in shame, and Chang Chunfang''s mood fell for a while. The words of Weicheng¡¯s cousin let them know a reality, in the hearts of their own daughters, they are so incompetent... Thinking of yesterday at the boss''s wedding, the siblings said they would give Shu Shu 50,000 yuan as a dowry, but now the couple can only come up with 500 yuan. After such a comparison, Chang Chunfang found that their biological parents had too little to give their daughter, and it was actually right for her daughter to choose to follow her cousins. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang felt guilty and blamed themselves. They lived for most of their lives and ended up with nothing. It¡¯s not their children¡¯s dislike for them. Seeing the frustrated expressions of the couple, Lan Weicheng realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. He was about to explain, but Lan Shengli waved his hand, "Forget it, you guys go back." After finishing speaking, the nearly fifty-year-old man turned around with a hunchback, as if this moment could make a person much older. Chang Chunfang also sighed, and walked towards their room with Lan Shengli... Seeing this, Lan Weicheng wanted to apologize, but there was no chance to persuade him. Lan Shu looked at the backs of her adoptive parents, then turned her attention to Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, "Mom and Dad, take Lan Xinya back first, don''t worry, our brothers and sisters will persuade them to let them Take it easy." With Lan Shu''s words, of course Lan Weicheng believes in his daughter''s ability. He nodded silently, "Okay, then let''s go first, alas~" The tractor hired outside the door had already left, and Lan Dazhuang sent the three of them back. By the time he came back from the county seat, it was already evening. On the tractor, pull back a load of rope netting materials. Looking at the load of things, Lan Dazhuang announced to his brothers, "Let''s start working tomorrow, and try to expand the chicken farm in three days!" Brother Lan''s words immediately received a response from the younger brothers. At this time, Lan Shu was in her adoptive parents'' room, talking about something with Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang... ¡­ "...Our chicken farm has more and more chickens, and we will definitely find a way to sell them in the future. We only sell live chickens alone, and the sales volume is limited. If you want to sell them in large quantities to dealers, you will have to lower the price." "So my idea is to open a fried chicken shop with crispy chicken in the county, or even Linjiang City. After the whole chicken is slaughtered and marinated, it is put into a large pressure cooker and fried. It is charred and tender, and can be fragrant for a mile." "At that time, many people will definitely come to buy it. If the sales volume is good, it is not a problem for a store to sell a hundred chickens a day." In fact, Lan Shu has been thinking about opening a fried chicken restaurant for a long time. Her previous idea was to hire someone to open it, but now, her parents are looked down upon by her own daughter because they have no money. That tone from Lan Xinya! So she thought of asking her parents to leave Tianshui Village and go outside. In this day and age, as long as you do business, you can basically lose money, and this business is an idea given by yourself, Lan Shu still has confidence in her own vision. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang heard Lan Shu say this, but for a moment, they were actually persuaded. Even though one of them is working as a village cadre and the other is teaching in a village primary school, both of them have serious jobs, but the two of them think that during the day, their biological daughters despise and look down on them, and they are not even willing to take their money. . The two of them suddenly had the idea of ??making money. In the eyes of Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, their family Shushu was born to do business, and Shushu''s idea must be right. And if they really want to sell fried chicken according to what Shu Shu said, they are also helping the eldest son sell chickens raised in the chicken farm. So the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they might give it a try. Lan Shu didn''t rush to open a fried chicken restaurant. Seeing that her parents hadn''t made up their mind yet, she gave them time to think about it. "Mom and Dad, think about it again. Anyway, I''m at home these few days. If you make a decision, you can tell me at any time. We will discuss the details of opening the store then." Seeing what my daughter said, the old couple naturally had no objection. The two nodded one after another, and then watched their daughter walk out of the room. After Lan Shu left, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang looked at each other in the room. "Shengli, I think Shushu''s idea is feasible." After thinking about it, Chang Chunfang frowned and made a difficult decision. Hearing what she said, Lan Shengli looked at his wife unexpectedly, "Are you willing to quit your job at the village primary school?" Today is the third day of high fever, the waist and legs are no longer painful, but the cough is severe, and I feel like my lungs are coughing up T0T... I was in a very bad state. I was basically groggy and dizzy during the day, and I didn¡¯t start coding until I got better at night. Fortunately, I finished writing. (end of this chapter) Chapter 284: Resign Chapter 284 Resignation "Although I can''t bear it, but I thought about it. Staying in the village means that you have no money. You can''t even look down on your own daughter. It''s better to go outside and have a look. Don''t you see that the children in our family have developed very well? ?¡± When Chang Chunfang said this, there was no hesitation and hesitation before. She thought it over clearly. This world is very realistic, and it is impossible to do without money. The eldest son of their family didn''t ask them for a penny for getting married this time, because they knew that the old couple really didn''t have much money. In the future, when the second and third children get married, it is estimated that they will not be allowed to pay, but parents can¡¯t even help their children get married. Although the children don¡¯t say it, they feel guilty! So Chang Chunfang thought it over, if she and her wife can earn money by going out, they will make up for all the debts owed to their children in the future! When they have money, the children will not be like Xinya¡¯s attitude towards them today, even refusing to accept money. Thinking about the living conditions of Weicheng''s cousin''s family, five hundred yuan is really nothing in Xinya''s eyes. But what if the money becomes one thousand, two thousand, three thousand in the future? Who can say no? Seeing his wife''s attitude, Lan Shengli''s previous hesitation was instantly shattered at this moment like a boulder blocking the road! "Okay! Then let''s go all out and go outside to fight!" That night, Tang Chu, who was newly married, cooked for everyone. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t go out until the meal. The two of them were not because they were still worried about what happened during the day, but they were rummaging through the house to collect all the money they had on hand, and then see if it was enough to open a store. Now that they have decided to do it, they will take out the money vigorously. They are not afraid of losing money, and they will not allow themselves to wait for their daughter to arrange everything, and then reap the benefits of fishing. ¡­ The next day, the three brothers of the Lan family went to the back mountain early in the morning with tools and rope net materials. Xiaobai was one step behind the three of them, and spread out a few pancakes with eggs and chopped green onion, leaving two for the sister-in-law of the Lan family, and kept the rest in the pot before going to the mountain. Tang Chu didn''t even need to do this breakfast, the three brothers took care of it themselves, before the elders of the Lan family got up, Tang Chu washed the dishes that the brothers threw in the sink after eating. Thinking of her life in the Lan family these two days, she really didn''t feel any sense of urgency or pressure. She didn''t expect that after she married into her husband''s family, her life would be more relaxed than when she was in her own home! The old couple of the Lan family treated her very well, and the brothers were also united and friendly, getting along very well, and there was no calculation or calculation between other brothers. There is also Director Lan. Tang Chu found out that the factory manager who is vigorous and resolute outside, eats, eats and sleeps at home every day without worrying about anything. The whole family is pampered and doesn''t have to do any work! I have to say that the Lan family treats their daughter really well, even better than their son. Other families are patriarchal, but in the Lan family, it is obvious that women are superior to boys. Tang Chu suddenly envied Director Lan for being able to grow up in such a family. But now she doesn''t have to be envious, because she also married into such a family. ¡­ At 8:30 in the morning, Lan Shu got up on time, and after eating the rice that Xiao Bai left for her in the pot, she learned from Secretary Tang that her brothers had gone to the back mountain with Xiao Bai. The parents got up and ate something and then hurried out. They had an explanation before going out, and they would come back later. Hearing Tang Chu''s message, Lan Shu already knew in her heart that her adoptive parents had already made a decision. And their decision is to leave the village and venture outside! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said such things as coming back later. As Lan Shu guessed, at this time Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang went to the village brigade and village primary school to resign respectively. Since they have already made their decision, there is no need to procrastinate. Handle their own affairs well, so they can tell their daughter that they are willing to do business. The leaders of the village brigade and the village primary school could not understand the two resignations. "Shengli, besides you, who else can take over the work of our village propaganda committee? We know the village well enough, but none of us are educated. There are some boys in the village who are educated, but they are too young to be relied upon." "Yeah, Shengli, for example, that college student from Xu''s family, even though he is a college student, but his character is too bad, the mistress he got out with outside, went back to the village and made a noise at the gate of Xu''s house to make Xu''s family lose money, it''s a shame! " The village cadres in the village are not young anymore, and they are very cautious about electing their successors. Before this, no one thought that Lan Shengli would stop working as a village committee member in his forties! At the same time, Chang Chunfang faced almost the same situation as Lan Shengli¡ª "Teacher Chang, are you really going to leave school? There are no qualified and experienced teachers like you in our elementary school except you." "Mr. Chang, why don''t you think about it again? The vice principal of our school will retire in two years, and the position of vice principal will definitely fall on you!" Faced with all kinds of persuasion and temptation, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang stood firm. The two said almost the same thing in different places¡ª "Thank you for the trust of the leader, but I have already thought about this matter." "Thank you for the attention of the leader, but I have already thought about this matter." Under the circumstances that the attitudes of the two are consistent and resolute, even if the village brigade and the village primary school want to keep people, it is not easy to force them to stay. Soon, the two went through the resignation procedures. Before noon, the two of them finished their work in the village completely! ¡­ At noon, Lan Shu received a message from Xiaobai using a pager, and learned that they would not go down the mountain at noon. After Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli came back, they learned that their sons were busy on the mountain, so they didn''t immediately discuss with their daughter about opening a store. Instead, they went to the kitchen to cook some home-cooked meals, and asked their daughter and daughter-in-law to deliver the meals to them. Tang Chu felt that she could do it alone when it came to food delivery. She was in a garment factory before, and she did errands in the earliest days. Seeing what Tang Chu said, Lan Shu didn''t force her, so she let Tang Chu go by herself. At first, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were worried, fearing that their daughter-in-law would not be able to find the way. Later, Lan Shu told her that her elder brother had taken her to the mountain to see her, so the old couple felt relieved. Although it was time for dinner, Lan Shengli, Chang Chunfang, and Lan Shu didn''t intend to eat immediately. When Tang Chu comes back, it won''t be too late for them to eat together. So in the free time, the two talked to their daughter about their resignation in the morning. Knowing that her parents had solved the work problem so early, Lan Shu was quite surprised by the executive ability of the two elders. After understanding the determination of the two, Lan Shu began to talk to her parents about opening a fried chicken shop... (end of this chapter) Chapter 285: Detailed plan Chapter 285 Detailed Plan "About where the fried chicken shops open, I thought about Qingyang County and Linjiang City. The county is closer to home and the transportation is convenient, but the consumption level of the people in the county is definitely not as good as that in the market. If the store is opened in the city, the sales will definitely be better.¡± Lan Shu told the pros and cons of where to open the shop, and let her parents choose. Regarding this question, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli answered in unison without any hesitation, "The sales in the city are good, so let''s open a store in the city!" Since they want to open a store, they must choose a place to make money. Lan Shu nodded when she heard that, her first intention was also to think that it would be better to open the store directly in Linjiang City. After talking about the location of the store, it is the turn of the core of the store to sell the goods. "Don''t worry about the crispy fried chicken that the store sells, I will make it. Before opening the store, we just need to find someone to order a large pressure cooker, the kind that can hold forty or fifty chickens in one pot at the same time. " Lan Shu said. "I have a way to customize the pot. I know a veteran pot maker in the county. After confirming the appearance of the pot, I can ask him to order it tomorrow." Lan Shengli took this matter on himself. Lan Shu nodded, "Then I will draw the shape of the pot later, we will take it back to the village to have a try after we are done, as long as we are sure that the crispy fried chicken we made is delicious, then go Sell ??outside." Speaking, Lan Shu continued to talk about the price of fried chicken. "The price of a normal chicken is generally between two yuan and two yuan on the market. There is no problem selling free-range chickens from our Houshan free-range chicken farm for two yuan and five yuan. If it is made into fried chicken, I plan to set the selling price at three yuan or more." "Three yuan and five? Is there anyone who buys it so expensive?" Chang Chunfang was a little worried. In her opinion, a chicken can earn about fifty cents, and earning one yuan...isn''t it a bit much? But Lan Shu had her own thoughts, "The price of three yuan and five yuan may be expensive in the village, and many people think that a chicken is not worth so much money." "But if the fried chicken we make is delicious, there are enough people who like it, and the quantity is limited every day, and you can''t buy it late, then let alone three five yuan, even if it sells for five yuan, people will buy it. of." Crispy fried chicken has not yet appeared in this era. When they open it, it will be the only one. Once the taste is good and word of mouth spreads, the supply will definitely be in short supply. Lan Shu used to work in a related fried chicken restaurant during the winter and summer vacations when she was in college, so she still has confidence in the taste of the recipe she has mastered. Hearing what her daughter said, although Chang Chunfang still hesitated about the price, she finally chose to trust her daughter''s judgment. Afterwards, Lan Shu continued. "The fried chicken in our store only sells whole chickens, and the chicken hearts, gizzards, kidneys, and even chicken intestines in the chicken belly are not used, so in addition to fried chicken, we can also sell braised chicken offal, Deep-fried chicken kidneys can make a lot of money for one chicken.¡± Lan Shengli heard that chicken giblets can still be sold, and fried chicken kidneys...is that delicious? As for whether it is delicious or not, Lan Shu knows it well. Fried Chicken Kidney This dish is not seen in the market, not to mention now, even later generations. It can only be seen in some special high-end restaurants, and the price is not usually high. She used to work in a restaurant during the summer vacation, and only then did she know that chicken kidneys could be sold separately. At this time, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang felt that these marinated chicken offal and fried chicken kidneys mentioned by Lan Shu were somewhat unbelievable. But thinking that my daughter has been to a big city like Kyoto, maybe Shushu has seen such things in Kyoto? Because they thought so, the old couple didn''t question Lan Shu''s words at this time. The three of them were talking when Tang Chu, who had gone to the back mountain to deliver food, came back. Wait until there are people, and everyone starts to eat. Tang Chu was slightly startled when he saw that his in-laws and Director Lan were waiting for her to eat together. When she went to the back mountain to deliver food, she never thought about coming back to eat together. She thinks that the three of them in the family have eaten, so just leave some for her in the pot. But now, her in-laws and Director Lan are waiting for her. This is a sign that she really treats her like a family member and respects her. Tang Chu suddenly felt very moved. She didn''t experience the warmth in her own family before, but now that she is married, she can feel it. So after the four of them had finished eating, Tang Chu immediately got up to pack the tableware, but was stopped by Chang Chunfang. "Eldest daughter-in-law, just sit and rest for a while, I''ll do it." Chang Chunfang was agile in her hands and feet. While talking, she had already put away the bowls and chopsticks, and carried them to the pool in the yard. After cleaning up the housework, Chang Chunfang dried her hands before returning to listen to her family''s talk about opening a shop. Actually, Lan Shu has pretty much said what she wants to say. The next step is to order the pot, follow up with the finished product, and choose the appearance. It was also at this time that Tang Chu found out that her parents-in-law planned to open a shop in the city to do business! Originally, from Tang Chu¡¯s point of view, the parents-in-law are not too young, they just need to do something at home, and there is no need to worry about money at all, but seeing that this matter is supported by Director Lan, Tang Chu has no opinion. In her opinion, what Director Lan agreed to must be correct. The in-laws have the idea of ??doing business to make money. Although she can''t help in the general direction, if there is any small job, she will definitely not hesitate. ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Shengli drove his eldest son''s tractor to the county seat. On the back hill, the three brothers of the Lan family and Xiaobai continued to expand the free-range chicken farm. Last night, the three brothers had learned that their parents were going to set up a store in Linjiang City to sell fried chicken. After Lan Dazhuang heard the estimated daily sales volume from his younger sister, his eyes widened in surprise! If the fried chicken shop can sell a hundred chickens a day, then the chickens in his free-range chicken farm will not last long. Last year, there were less than 100 and less than 200 chickens in the free-range chicken farm. Since April this year, the grown chickens have laid eggs and hatched. These more than a thousand chickens have grown up to now, and the largest one has only been raised for three months, and it is still close to being slaughtered. Although one or two thousand chicks have hatched in the past two months, the distance has grown, and they will not be slaughtered until around New Year''s Day. So now all the chickens in the chicken farm are added together, even if they are all grown, it is only enough to sell for more than a month. At that time, the chicken farm will not be able to supply the goods, how can parents open a shop? Lan Shu also had plans for this matter. Her idea of ??opening a fried chicken shop at the beginning was that after the free-range chicken farms became popular, the chickens on the mountain would be enough to support the sales demand of the shop before opening. But she didn''t expect that Lan Xinya would show up, and she would make her parents feel sad by acting against her parents. That''s why her plan was advanced. (end of this chapter) Chapter 286: Get to the bottom of it Chapter 286 Get to the bottom of it Since it is ahead of schedule, it is necessary to make a second set of plans. Their chicken farm doesn¡¯t have enough chickens, so go out and buy them. Whether it is a retail investor or a chicken dealer, as long as there are chickens, they will accept them. First collect a batch of emergency response, and when the chickens in the free-range chicken farm reach a certain scale, they will be self-sufficient. Since Lan Dazhuang learned that the chickens from free-range chicken farms will be supplied to his own fried chicken shop, he has become more concerned about raising chickens. As for the expansion of the free-range chicken farm, he felt that the scale should be larger! In this way, more chickens can be raised in the future. The chicken farm was expanded according to the original plan, and under Lan Dazhuang''s decision, the scale of the expansion increased by another third. ¡­ Five days later, Tianshui Village. After the expansion of the free-range chicken farm in the back mountain was completed, it was time for Lan Shu to leave the village and go to Kyoto. Walking with Lan Shu are Xiao Bai and her third brother Lan Sibo. Lan Sibo''s vacation is over, it''s time to go back to the research institute. The research institute is in the suburbs of Kyoto, and Lan Shu was on the same road, so Lan Sibo took a ride this time. Lan Xiuming left the day before yesterday. He works in the hospital and doesn''t have so much leave, so he returned to work early. On the day of leaving, Lan Shu asked her driver to drive her second brother to Linjiang City. And Lan Xiuming also said that after returning, he will take time to investigate where a fried chicken restaurant is suitable, and will rent the place in advance. Because it takes time to order a large pressure cooker, Lan Shu told her parents before leaving that they should not worry, and it would not be too late to start making fried chicken after she came back from Kyoto. Lan Shu set off from Tianshui Village. It was a Saturday at 7:30 in the morning, and the car had already left the village. Because there is an extra Lan Sibo, the rear seat of the car is no longer owned by Lan Shu alone. Originally, Xiaobai still sat in the passenger seat and let the Lan brothers and sisters sit in the back, but Lan Sibo smiled and shook his head and refused. "I''ll just take the co-pilot. The front is well lit and you can see far. You sit in the back." Lan Sibo said. joke! Before, the three brothers thought it would be great to let Xiaobai come to their house as a son-in-law. Although it seems that Xiaomei and Xiaobai are not together, it does not mean that they cannot continue to match~ When they were working on the mountain a few days ago, Lan Sibo found that although Xiaobai looked like a fair and clean young master, his work was actually no worse than their brothers, and he was the kind of person who worked all the year round. Only then can he surpass Xiaobai. It is rare to see such a man who looks in line with the younger sister''s vision, does not alienate them because of his status as the young master, is diligent and treats the younger sister well. If possible, Lan Sibo still hopes that Xiaobai and his younger sister can become a couple. In case the little girl loses her eyes one day and falls in love with the second ''Xu Yunjie'' again, those older brothers will definitely be **** off! With Lan Sibo''s matchmaking, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai sat side by side in the back row of the car. So halfway, when Lan Shu got used to sleeping for a while, for some reason, she tilted her head and leaned on Xiao Bai''s shoulder. When Lan Shu woke up at noon, she found herself sleeping in Xiao Bai''s arms. Lan Shu: ¡­ She must not sleep in the afternoon! In the afternoon, Lan Shu really didn''t sleep, because Xiao Bai took over from Master Zhang and sat in the driver''s seat to drive the car. At this time, Lan Sibo was sitting with his little sister. Lan Sibo looked at Xiaobai who was driving ahead, and whispered to his little sister. "I really didn''t expect Xiaobai to be able to drive." As he spoke, he glanced at his little sister. Seeing that the little girl didn''t respond at all, he said again, "A man like Xiaobai who is tall, good-looking, can drive, and treats you well, are you really not interested, little girl?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Although her third brother didn''t speak loudly, they were in the same car. How could it be possible that the people sitting in front couldn''t hear them in such a small space? ! She just discovered that when the third brother asked this question, Xiao Bai obviously sat up straighter in the driver''s seat! Although he is still looking ahead, Lan Shu has already seen Xiaobai''s eyes looking at himself behind through the rearview mirror. So embarrassing... But even if Lan Shu felt that such a topic should not be continued, but Lan Sibo did not ask the answer, he would not give up. "Xiaobai is so good, it would be a pity to miss it..." Lan Sibo sighed. Lan Shu remained silent. "Little sister, tell me, what is it about Xiaobai that makes you look down on him?" Lan Sibo was a little anxious. Lan Shu: ¡­ "Xiaobai''s height, appearance, and background, compared with Xu Yunjie, he can definitely beat Xu Yunjie by eight blocks, right?" Lan Shu nodded in agreement with this sentence. Then she found that in the rearview mirror, the corners of Xiao Bai''s mouth were raised. Lan Shu was about to remain silent when she heard her third brother ask, "Then what exactly does Xiaobai not meet your criteria for choosing a spouse?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Her third brother really wants to break the casserole and ask the end? If I don¡¯t answer or give a reasonable explanation, is the third brother planning to ask all the way? So Lan Shu struggled for a while, and then softly uttered three words - "Underage." Yes, this is the main reason why she rejected Xiao Bai. Upon hearing her answer like this, the corners of Xiaobai''s raised mouth in the front driver''s seat stopped immediately! Did you think you were young? At this time, Xiaobai heard the voice of the third brother of the Lan family in the back row¡ª¡ª "Hi~! It turns out that little girl, you want to get married directly, and you dislike Xiaobai for not being old enough to receive a certificate~!" Lan Shu:? ? Does she mean that? Before she could answer, the third brother said again, "Xiaobai, how long will it take for you to turn eighteen?" In the front row, Xiaobai immediately replied, "Almost half a year." "Then it''s easy to handle." Lan Sibo said, then turned to look at his younger sister, "Little sister, wait another half a year, and then you will be able to get what you want~!" Lan Shu: ¡­ What do you mean she got what she wanted? Lan Shu was speechless about her third brother''s forcibly pulling the red line. What made her speechless even more was that Xiao Bai didn''t even have a word of rebuttal, and just followed her third brother''s meaning. So among the few people in the car now, I am actually the only one who is embarrassed... At 3:30 in the afternoon, the car has already entered the area of ??Kyoto. Lan Shu asked Master Zhang to send her third brother to the research institute first, and then sent Xiao Bai home. When Lan Sibo got out of the car and waved goodbye to his little sister, Xiao Bai didn''t ask the driver, Master Zhang, to take him back. "Let''s go to Chang''an Road first. I''m tired after a day''s driving. When you go back to rest, it won''t be too late for me to go home." Listening to Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu found that Xiao Bai seemed to be like this every time, putting herself first in everything. When he left Kyoto, he was afraid that he would have to travel too long in the car, so he asked the driver to pick him up first. It is the same when he comes back now, he will give priority to how to make himself less tired. It¡¯s really hard not to like such a Xiaobai¡ª¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 287: Do you still have connections? Chapter 287 Do you still have connections? On the day Lan Shu arrived in Kyoto this time, she went back to take a good rest and get some sleep. The next day, Master Zhang drove her around to look around. The self-built house in the suburbs of Beijing has been built, and the walls are all painted, and now it is in the drying and ventilation stage. At the cosmetics research and development side, Chen Ping mass-produced lipsticks according to Lan Shu''s request. At the same time, the final samples of the three color eye shadows have also been released. After Lan Shu''s trial and approval, the next step is to mass production. In addition to lipstick and eye shadow, powder and liquid foundation have also been successfully developed. Lan Shu tried it out here, and basically met the requirements, so she can sell it to outsiders first, and Chen Ping needs to develop new and better products for liquid foundation later. With the sales approval from the boss, the studio will be busy again. But before getting busy, lipsticks of various colors are on sale at the cosmetics counter, which will definitely allow Lanjia''s cosmetics counter to gain more customers! After dealing with cosmetics research and development, Lan Shu went to the TV station the next day. This month''s aerobics recording is going on as scheduled. After several months of practice, the four aerobics actors have cooperated with each other quite tacitly. They basically don''t need Lan Shu to do anything, and they can perform the aerobics exercises to the recording standard. So this recording went very smoothly. After the recording of the aerobics of the month was completed, Lan Shu received a call from the TV drama director Duan Lei. "Miss Lan, are you free tomorrow? If you have time, come to the Tianxin Grand Theater? Our TV series is going to audition for actors, starting at 8:30 tomorrow morning..." After hearing the news, of course Lan Shu will go. She readily agreed, saying that she would be there on time tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, she turned around and told Li Xiaoyu, Tao Ying, Sun Sisi, and Jiang Min that if they were interested in filming, they could also audition tomorrow. As an investor, she should have no problem recommending a few people to audition. As for whether you can finally audition, it depends on your ability. When the four of them heard that their leader was willing to recommend them to audition for actor roles, everyone was naturally happy. Especially Li Xiaoyu, she has the most outstanding appearance among the four, so this audition is definitely a good opportunity for her! Maybe she can succeed in the audition, and then film a TV series that everyone likes to watch, and it will be popular all over the world since then! So after expressing their gratitude to Producer Lan, the four went back to recharge their batteries. They must put themselves in the best condition to meet tomorrow''s opportunity! ¡ª ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning and ate a basket of steamed buns made by Aunt Man Man, and drank a small bowl of porridge to fill her stomach before going out and getting in the car to Tianxin Grand Theatre. Today, as the judge of an actor''s audition, it is conceivable that she will have to stay in the theater for a long time, so she didn''t care about being 80% full during breakfast, and directly came to 100% full to deal with the next crowd audition. Tianxin Grand Theater is located in the bustling area of ??downtown Kyoto, not very far from Lan Shu''s residence, and it only takes about ten minutes by car. Lan Shu said yesterday that she will arrive on time today and will never be late, so in fact she arrived at the place more than ten minutes earlier today. The car stopped at the entrance of the Grand Theater. Lan Shu got out of the car and found that there were hundreds of people scattered around in front of the theater. These people include men and women, old and young, with a wide range of ages! I think that many people should have been notified in advance, knowing that the filming of this TV series needs more actors, and there must be actors of all ages, so so many people can gather. Because Lan Shu stepped out of the luxury car, her appearance almost caught everyone''s attention immediately. Today, Lan Shu is wearing a long dress made of dark red gauze. She just stood there quietly. The breeze blowing through the skirt made her look like a gorgeous red rose in full bloom! Such a beautiful young girl suddenly made the girls around her age feel a sense of crisis in their hearts¡ª Many people even felt that with her around, how could they have any chance of succeeding in the audition? Looks like they don¡¯t want the heroine anymore, let¡¯s consider the audition success rate of other supporting roles... Lan Shu''s appearance was also seen by Li Xiaoyu, who had been waiting for the audition in the crowd. The four of them were briefly shocked by the beauty of their immediate leaders, and then gathered around Lan Shu one after another. "Producer Lan, you are here." Today Li Xiaoyu is more attentive and excited than ever. She came early, so she had inquired about it. Most of the people who came to the audition had a background in acting. The rest of them have no learning foundation, and they have family members who are in the acting circle. They feel that they are more talented in acting, so they called them to audition together. For someone with a background in gymnastics like them, auditioning for a TV drama actor is simply unbelievable in the eyes of outsiders! Some people even asked them, "Are you eligible for an audition?" It was only then that Li Xiaoyu knew that all those who came to the audition today needed audition qualifications. If it wasn''t for Producer Lan, they really wouldn''t be qualified to stand here. So Li Xiaoyu is very grateful to Producer Lan for giving them this opportunity. Across the way, Lan Shu could see the excitement of Li Xiaoyu and Tao Ying. She could understand the feeling of auditioning to be an actor and then filming a drama on TV. Now that everyone is here, she said to the four of them, "Come in with me." After finishing speaking, she was already stepping on the milky white design high-heeled shoes she bought from Li Jiaojiao''s store before, and strode towards the theater gate! ¡­ At this time, the theater door is open, but there are people guarding the door, and it is not yet time to let the audition candidates in. Lan Shu''s obvious act of entering the door stunned all the audition candidates¡ª Some people think that she is trying to be special because of her beauty, while others think that she is an outsider who doesn''t know the rules and will definitely run into a wall later. And Lan Shu just said to the staff at the gate, "My name is Lan." Then he was invited in respectfully¡ª The four Li Xiaoyu who followed behind Lan Shu naturally had the qualifications to travel together. So these laymen are even one step ahead of the ''insiders'' outside the theater! Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the staff at the gate let people in early, which made many actors outside who were waiting for the audition show a clear expression. "Good-looking and well-connected, if she were to audition for the heroine, no one else would be able to do it!" "It''s okay to look good, but I still have connections, I don''t accept it!" "It''s useless to refuse to accept it. Let''s think about other roles besides the heroine that can be auditioned." "But will she really audition for the heroine? The heroine is just a human being. Her temperament is more suitable for being a fairy or a banshee..." (end of this chapter) Chapter 288: thanks, not interested Chapter 288 Thank you, not interested At this moment in the theater, Lan Shu led Li Xiaoyu and the others through the long corridor inside the theater and came to the front of the stage. found that besides her, director Duan Lei, screenwriter Luo Xiu, and producer Mao Li had already arrived. Including myself, there are four audition judges in total. Seeing that Ms. Lan did not come alone, but with someone, the three of them were slightly startled. Afterwards, director Duan Lei had already reacted, "Miss Lan is planning to assign roles to them?" While speaking, Duan Lei has already considered what role to arrange. It must not be too important, because he doesn''t know how these people''s acting skills are. But if the assigned role is too small, I worry that Lan Shu, the investor, will not be satisfied. While Director Duan was struggling, he heard Lan Shu say, "There is no need to arrange roles, just give them a chance to audition, everything is fair competition." With Lan Shu''s words, Director Duan immediately felt relieved. He glanced at the four of Li Xiaoyu one by one, and then said to them, "Go and sit on the side first, there will be a role that suits you later, you can go up and perform." "Thank you director!" Facing the thanks of the four people, Director Duan didn''t say anything, but just waved his hand and asked people to sit behind. ¡­ At 8:30, the interview officially started. The more than one hundred actors who came to audition outside the theater were all brought in, and sat in various positions in the theater according to the director''s request. Because they were sitting in the back, everyone couldn''t see the appearance of the four judges sitting in the front row. But many people still remember the red dress on one of them! "The big beauty is not the heroine of the audition?!" "Thank God! It seems that I still have a chance as the heroine..." "Great! Now I can safely audition for any female role!" Obviously, some people also think that Lan Shu''s temperament is no longer what ordinary humans should have, so just outside the theater, some people worried that she would be interested in a certain fairy or banshee in the play. Seeing her now as one of the four judges, all worries are gone¡ª Listening to the noisy sound from behind, although director Duan Lei and producer Mao Li didn''t know what happened, such an undisciplined environment really shouldn''t continue. Director Duan got up immediately, turned his head to look at the auditioner sitting in the theater seat behind, "During the next audition process, please keep quiet." The voice fell, and there was no sound in the theater. Director Duan nodded in satisfaction and sat back in his seat. Then after he announced, the audition officially started! "Slaying Monsters" is a group drama, in which there are four main characters. In addition to the hero and heroine, there are also companions who work with the hero and heroine to slay demons and demons. In the screenwriter''s setting, these two companions can be older, younger, or as young and handsome as the hero and heroine. What it looks like, the screenwriter Luo Xiu finally decided to finalize it during the audition. The first audition was the male lead and the female lead, each standing on the stage in groups of ten and making various expressions according to the director''s requirements. With so many people on stage performing at the same time, it is easy to see everyone''s acting skills and judge whose appearance is more suitable for the heroine. Although Li Xiaoyu is very tempted by the heroine of this show, she is very self-aware, knowing that she has studied in a non-professional class, and she is not qualified for such an important role. In addition, she also works as an aerobics actor on a TV station, so she must have enough time to practice aerobics. Therefore, Li Xiaoyu, Tao Ying, and Sun Sisi beside her have never even thought about roles with more roles. Jiang Min didn''t think that the male lead could fall on him. He was waiting for some fairy or monster roles to see if it would be his turn. Now he doesn''t want much, as long as he can be selected and have the opportunity to "study" in the crew. Before the interview started, Lan Shu thought that she would distribute the script to everyone, giving them a certain amount of time to familiarize themselves with the script and interpret a certain part of the script. And the current role selection mode has greatly exceeded Lan Shu''s expectations. But she found out that the selection was really efficient. It took them just over half an hour to decide on the heroine. After that comes the leading actor, supporting role and so on. During the whole process of auditioning for actors, Lan Shu didn''t need to say anything at all. Although every time she chooses a role, Lan Shu can hear director Duan Lei and screenwriter Luo Xiu asking her, "Miss Lan, what do you think of giving this role to him/her?" Lan Shu nods her head every time. Because she found that the actors selected by the director through his centralized selection method are indeed more suitable for the characteristics of each character. From 8:30 to 11:30, actors have already been cast for many roles. There are still some roles left with not too many roles, and auditions have also begun. At this time, Lan Shu saw Li Xiaoyu and Tao Ying, good friends, on stage. The characters they want to audition for are the two fairies in the play who have helped the hero and heroine and their companions slay demons many times. There are not too many competitors for these two roles, but in the end only Tao Ying succeeded in the interview. As for Li Xiaoyu, screenwriter Luo Xiu said¡ª "There is a Peach Blossom Demon in the play, which is more in line with your appearance. If you are interested, you can audition for that role later." The screenwriter has already spoken out to give a clear path, no matter how stupid Li Xiaoyu is, he knows to listen to the screenwriter. So after getting off the stage, she returned to her seat and continued to wait for the audition for the next role. The audition didn''t end until almost three o''clock in the afternoon. Among them, Li Xiaoyu successfully auditioned for Peach Blossom Demon, just as the screenwriter Luo Xiu said. Tao Ying is a fairy, Sun Sisi and Jiang Min are little demons. The four amateurs who came to audition with Lan Shu, unexpectedly everyone auditioned for the role. Except for the four of them, the screenwriter Luo Xiu hesitated a few times before saying something to Lan Shu, "Miss Lan, are you interested in joining our crew to shoot a TV series? We need a beautiful and sharp girl like you in the show." The Banshee Queen!" Luo Xiu was looking forward to it wholeheartedly, but Lan Shu replied, "Thank you, I''m not interested." Others want to be famous and attract attention, but to be honest, Lan Shu is not very interested in becoming famous. With that energy, she might as well make money. Even if one day she wants to enter this industry, she will not be an actress, but start a company, recruit actors, and let the actors earn money for her! So, about starting an actor agency, maybe in two years, after the film and television industry develops, Lan Shu will start to think about it¡ª As for now, she has to see how much money the first drama she invested in can make. "Today''s audition is over. Seventy percent of the characters in our play have been recruited. There are only a small number of characters left. You can go back and wait for the announcement." The audition is over, the director announces. (end of this chapter) Chapter 289: Be a bull or a horse Chapter 289 Be a cow and a horse August, in Lanshu''s eyes, is a smooth and beautiful month, on the other side, Haicheng. After being fired by the leader of the Linjiang Machinery Factory, Xu Yunjie, who escaped from debts and disappeared, has recently encountered trouble. Xu Yunjie has been away from his hometown for five months. During these five months, he first looked for a job in another city not too far from Linjiang City. He wanted to do his old job as a technician in a machinery factory. But the local machinery factories are basically fully staffed. Even if there is a need for recruitment, how many people in the factory are staring at the vacancies, eager to fill in their relatives and friends immediately! Because of the absence of connections, it was really difficult for Xu Yunjie to work in a machinery factory. In one month, he traveled to and from four cities, but failed to find a suitable job. The small amount of money in his hand was about to be spent. Just when he felt that he couldn''t keep going, he suddenly heard that Haicheng recruited talents and there were many job opportunities! So Xu Yunjie used his last money to buy a ticket to Haicheng, and arrived in Haicheng a day later. When he first came to Linhai City, he only had fifteen cents left in his hands, and he couldn''t even afford a decent meal. So I can only buy two steamed buns so that I will not starve to death. After that is to find a job. Sure enough, there are more job opportunities in Haicheng than in other places! Xu Yunjie went straight to the machinery factory to apply for the job, and successfully entered the application process, but what he didn''t expect was that he failed to be hired as a skilled worker by the Haicheng Machinery Factory because of his lack of ability. It is true to recruit talents here, but it is also a big wave, and only real talents can be reused! Fortunately, in addition to the technical workers in the machinery factory, there are many other positions in Haicheng who need to work. In order to survive, Xu Yunjie had no choice but to do other jobs. His first job was as a porter in the workshop of a machinery factory. He only worked this job for five days, but he couldn''t continue because his shoulders and hands were worn out and he screamed in pain! Fortunately, the leader of the machinery factory was more humane, settled his salary for five days, and asked him to leave. After that, he went to the back kitchen of the restaurant to wash dishes and do chores, and slowly worked to the front hall to serve the dishes. Compared to the technical workers in the machinery factory, his ability can only do these jobs in Haicheng to sell his physical strength to make money. The reason why Xu Yunjie was able to survive such a day was because of life force at first, but he gradually got used to it. Xu Yunjie discovered that in Haicheng, he worked as a waiter in a small restaurant, and his monthly salary was no less than what he was getting as a technician at the Linjiang Machinery Factory before! So after working for two months, Xu Yunjie changed jobs. What he changed was not a job that matched the major he studied, but relied on his good appearance to serve as a waiter in a higher-end restaurant. This kind of work gave him a higher salary as he wished. Just when Xu Yunjie got his first month''s salary and was thinking about the future, he decided to work in this restaurant for a year before changing jobs. Several new waiter workers came to the restaurant. Xu Yunjie met someone among the workers who was absolutely unexpected to him! "Li Xiumei! How do you know I''m here!?" Xu Yunjie was stunned in surprise! Of course Li Xiumei doesn''t know about Xu Yunjie''s whereabouts. She was able to come to this restaurant to work, and the journey along the way was similar to that of Xu Yunjie. It''s just that she didn''t come to Haicheng very early like Xu Yunjie. Before coming to Haicheng, Li Xiumei also worked in other cities. She has money in her hand, and she stole a lot of it when she left home, so she is not forced to work by life, but to find someone. Li Xiumei used to go to work in a restaurant near the machinery factory whenever she went to a city. After coming to Haicheng this time, she first spent a few days comfortably in Haicheng, and then found this restaurant not far from the machinery factory, and planned to stay for a month to see if Xu Yunjie was in Haicheng. As a result, Li Xiumei did not expect that Xu Yunjie did not go to the machinery factory, but became a waiter in a restaurant! Now, the shock in Li Xiumei''s heart came before the hatred. She suddenly wanted to laugh at Xu Yunjie, a college student and a technician in a machinery factory, but now he has been reduced to the point of serving dishes to others! So she did think what she thought, so she said it in public! "Xu Yunjie, you really failed!" "How did you get to this point? You are nothing without me!" "You are so kind to you, you still don''t know how to cherish it, and you lied to me, making me unable to hold my head up in front of everyone!" "It''s all because of you, I can''t go home now, you have to pay for everything you have done!" "..." After Li Xiumei''s disturbance, everyone in the hotel knew that she and Xu Yunjie used to be good friends. And it was Xu Yunjie who betrayed her! Seeing Li Xiumei come to the door, Xu Yunjie was shocked and confused. He even thought about resigning and leaving Haicheng! But that day, Li Xiumei forced Xu Yunjie to live in the same room. She wanted to watch Xu Yunjie and never let Xu Yunjie leave! She told Xu Yunjie that she was pregnant with Xu Yunjie''s child before, and it was because of Xu Yunjie''s departure that she was stimulated and the child was gone! She made Xu Yunjie feel ashamed of her, and she slowly mastered everything about Xu Yunjie, completely controlling this man! She wants to let herself be with Xu Yunjie for the rest of her life and torture Xu Yunjie for the rest of her life, only then can she relieve her hatred! The reason why Xu Yunjie followed Li Xiumei was not only because he knew that Li Xiumei was pregnant with his child, but he felt ashamed of Li Xiumei. Secondly, he couldn''t get rid of Li Xiumei''s entanglement. He has been found by Li Xiumei, and Li Xiumei told him that if he dares to run away without making a sound, she will stab him with a knife the next time we meet! Xu Yunjie was afraid of death, and he also discovered that Li Xiumei was mentally disturbed, and her thoughts were a little crazy. He was afraid that Li Xiumei would do what she said, so in order to survive, he dared not go against Li Xiumei''s will. One month after Li Xiumei found Xu Yunjie, the two got married. The two finally got together, but not because of love, but because of Li Xiumei''s hatred for this man! After marriage, Li Xiumei no longer went out to work, but let Xu Yunjie work hard to earn money to support her. She accepted Xu Yunjie''s wages for his hard work with peace of mind, and she wanted Xu Yunjie to work hard for her for the rest of her life! "Xu Yunjie, give me this month''s salary." "Xu Yunjie, come back early to cook for me after get off work." "Xu Yunjie, I want some refreshments from the west of the city, go buy them for me." "Xu Yunjie, I have no appetite today, I can''t eat anymore, you eat all the rest of me." "Xu Yunjie, bring water to wash my feet!" "Xu Yunjie..." What awaits Xu Yunjie is endless hard work... (end of this chapter) Chapter 290: whimsical Chapter 290 Whimsical In the last few days of August, Lan Shu finally finished her basic affairs in the capital and had nothing else to do, so she called Yu Yuan. The two made an appointment to meet at a restaurant near the clothing store at noon, and then Lan Shu contacted the driver, Master Zhang, and drove her there. A few days ago, with the sale of pagers in Kyoto, Lan Shu also equipped Master Zhang with a text version of the pager, which made it easier for her to contact Master Zhang. It was only eleven o''clock when the car arrived near the Jingdu clothing store, which was still early for the time agreed with Yu Yuan, so Lan Shu planned to go shopping for a while. She has been coming to Kyoto every month for the past six months, but she can count the number of times she has gone shopping in a bustling metropolis like Kyoto. She is free today, so she will take a look at the fashion trends in the market today, and keep abreast of the latest trends in clothing direction in real time. Only the clothes styles in her clothing factory can keep up with the trend, and even lead the trend! Because time was limited, Lan Shu went straight to the boutique shopping malls in several clothing shopping mall buildings. Here, all the best styles of the season are gathered. If you want to know the fashion trend, just follow here to buy. After wandering around the first floor of the shopping mall for a while, Lan Shu bought a few pairs of socks for summer, and when she was about to go to the second floor to have a look, she found that there was a clothing brand "Yunshu" near the stairs from the first floor to the second floor. shop. Yu Yuan''s store is a wholesale store, and in another shopping mall building, there is also a direct-sale store of his own factory here, which surprised Lan Shu. So she walked over, intending to check the business situation in the store, but as soon as she entered, she saw a familiar person! "Aunt Liu?" Lan Shu called out. Hearing the voice, Liu Ruyi turned around, and when she saw that it was Lan Shu, she was also slightly startled, then smiled and called out, "Boss." Liu Ruyi was her father Lan Weicheng''s childhood sweetheart, and the relationship was not bad. Lan Shu didn''t know this at first, and only learned of her relationship with their family through the clothing store owner Liu who Yu Yuan knew. Lan Shu remembered that Liu Ruyi''s clothing store opened in the eastern district of Kyoto, but she didn''t expect that now she opened another store in the boutique building of the clothing mall. Listening to Liu Ruyi calling her boss, Lan Shu wasn''t too embarrassed, they just called each other their own. "Is the boss here to go shopping today or to inspect?" Liu Ruyi smiled and invited Lan Shu into the room, and then she didn''t forget to pour a cup of tea. Lan Shu didn''t hide her reason for coming, "I went to Manager Yu for a meeting. I saw that it was still early, so I came here to shop. I didn''t expect you to open a directly-operated store here." When Liu Ruyi heard this, she chuckled, "Boss, you don''t know that. Our Yunshu clothing brand is also very famous in Kyoto now. In the buildings of the clothing mall, besides Manager Yu''s wholesale store, there are six other shops. This is just one of the seven directly-operated stores of the Yunshu clothing brand." "In order not to conflict, our stores have different selling styles. Each store has about half of the clothing styles, which are not available in other stores." Hearing what Liu Ruyi said, Lan Shu nodded approvingly, "Healthy competition, this is very good." They are all directly-operated stores of the same brand. If there is a fight between them because of interests, it will be ugly. "Manager Yu told us these things. We are selling brand benefits. As long as the brand becomes more and more famous and customers recognize our brand in the future, the business in our store will get better and better." Liu Ruyi replied. During the time she was talking with Lan Shu, seven or eight customers had already entered the store to look at the clothes. Fortunately, there were still two salesmen in the store responsible for reception. From the fact that there are more than two salesmen in a clothing store of tens of square meters, it can be seen that the business in the store is good. And Yu Yuan was able to say such a thing, he, the regional manager, is really far-sighted. After talking with Liu Ruyi for a few words, Lan Shu left quickly. Looking at the time, it''s almost time. Go outside the shopping mall now. When we get to the restaurant, Yu Yuan should also be there. Lan Shu had just left the mall when the beeper sounded, "Dididi..." She took out the pager from her bag and glanced at the message¡ª ¡®Lan Shu, are you free at noon? '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡®I want to cook for you. '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡®It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re not free. '' ¡®Dididi¡­¡¯ ¡®Let me know when you are free. '' In the past few days, Lan Shu has received news from Xiao Bai every day, knowing that she is busy with work, so Xiao Bai always just greets and does not disturb. She seemed to have told Xiaobai two days ago that she would not be busy today, so Xiaobai sent the message. He remembers every word he said so clearly? At this time, Xiaobai sent so many messages, and Lan Shu also wanted to reply. She pressed the pager, transferred to the main station, and replied, ''I have something to go out, and I will go home for dinner. '' In this way, I have made an appointment with Xiaobai to have dinner together in the evening. As soon as Lan Shu sent out the message, the next second, she heard a familiar voice coming into her ears¡ª "After all, I was raised by my parents. After being by their side for twenty years, their affection for me is much deeper than that for her." "Last time I had a minor illness. My dad cared about me and refused to let me go to work. He let me stay at home and doubled my pocket money every month." "My monthly pocket money is almost several times my salary at work. I have money, so why work so hard?" "I really envy you, Xinya, who will inherit your father''s business from now on?" "Inherited? After all, she is also my parents'' child. I guess she will give half of each of us at that time, but I have made up my mind. At that time, I will want the cosmetics counter. That counter has the best business, and what cosmetics I use, directly Just go get it." Lan Xinya replied. Hearing what Lan Xinya and her companions said at this time, Lan Shu was amused. She put away the pager in her hand, then looked up in the direction of the voice¡ª She set her eyes on Lan Xinya who was walking with two other girls with her back to her not far ahead, and then sneered. "Lan Xinya, how big a face and whimsy do you have to think you can get a cosmetic counter?" She proposed the cosmetics counter to Lan Weicheng. From the beginning of the problem, to her recruitment of new tellers, so that the counter business has no worries, the next sales plan, the exclusive skin care products, everything, everything is under her supervision. come over. At the beginning, her father Lan Weicheng clearly said that he would hand over the cosmetics counter to her, but Lan Shu refused. The reason for her refusal was to make the cosmetics counter a profitable business for the Lan family, not to leave it to Lan Xinya in the future! (end of this chapter) Chapter 291: shouldnt worry about Chapter 291 Don''t worry about it During this period of time, since Lan Xinya didn''t go to work, she has too many free days! Usually there is nothing to do, she is just like before, making appointments with friends to chat, go shopping, how leisurely she is. But Lan Xinya found that many of the friends she had made in the past used to gossip about herself behind her back when she was at a low point, because they knew she was not the biological daughter of the Lan family, so they disliked her and stopped being friends with her. After this made Lan Xinya angry, she endured the annoyance and made an appointment with two friends who were not too firm and wanted to break up with her. She wants to use the mouth of the two to let other people in the circle know that even if she is not the biological daughter of the Lan family, so what? As long as you get the favor of your parents, blood relationship is not the most important thing. They were shopping in the mall in the morning, and Lan Xinya spent a lot of money on clothes and shoes, and invited them to dinner at noon. Originally, she had already successfully portrayed her image as being favored at home, but she didn''t expect that Lan Shu would appear in front of her at the critical moment, warning her not to think about the family business at all! If Lan Xinya hadn''t witnessed her parents'' concern for her during her illness and hospitalization, Lan Xinya might still have listened to what Lan Shu said. But Lan Xinya remembered that before her hospital bed, her father said that he would treat her as his own daughter. Then, as a ''biological daughter'', I am of course eligible to share the family business in the future! So at this moment, Lan Xinya is very confident. She looked at Lan Shu and said loudly, "Lan Shu, I''ve lived in this house for twenty years. As soon as you show up, do you want to take everything from me?" Asking this question, Lan Shu really has no interest in competing with Lan Xinya. Lan Weicheng can distribute the property of the Lan family however he likes in the future, but the cosmetics counter cannot! The cosmetics counter was built by her with a lot of energy, she couldn''t just sit and watch the ''golden egg laying chicken'' she created end up in the hands of the people she hates, and make money for the people she hates! So Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya and said calmly. "Everything about you has nothing to do with the cosmetics counter, don''t worry about things you shouldn''t." The rest of Lan Shu didn''t intend to explain. When Lan Xinya heard this, she stared straight at Lan Shu, "Lan Shu, you are too domineering!" "It''s none of your business what kind of temper I have!" Lan Shu sneered, and after she finished speaking, she didn''t look at Lan Xinya again. Instead, she walked in the direction of the hotel she had made an appointment with Yu Yuan. Leaving Lan Xinya with an ugly face and two thoughtful friends beside her. The two of them came out today, and they thought that Lan Xinya was living as usual in the Lan family, and the Lan family didn''t care at all whether she was their biological daughter or not. But compared with the real daughter of the Lan family, she is still the real one! So Lan Xinya is just putting on airs. In fact, what does the future of the Lan family have to do with her? Recognizing this, the two who had just gotten along with Lan Xinya as good sisters made excuses and left. This made Lan Xinya stomp her feet angrily, but she couldn''t change other people''s opinion of her... ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu arrived at the agreed hotel before twelve o''clock. Although she only asked Yu Yuan alone, Yu Yuan also called other people to have dinner together. Yu Yuan didn¡¯t call people casually. After being introduced, Lan Shu learned that there was a man and a woman beside him, one named Zhou Yuan, who was a friend who helped Yu Yuan manage a total of nineteen clothing stores in three cities in the south. One is Song Xiaocui, who is in charge of the supply of Yunshu clothing brands in two provinces in the north. The two can be said to be Yu Yuan''s right-hand men, and it is also because of them that Yu Yuan''s position as a large regional manager can be secured, and his business scope is also extensive. Seeing the two of them, Lan Shu actually thought about absorbing them directly as agents in the factory. And Yu Yuan had the same idea when he brought two people here today. So after this meal, Lan Shu''s clothing factory harvested two more generals! ¡­ After lunch, Lan Shu still has an appointment with Xiao Bai in the evening. She didn''t stay outside for too long, but took the car back home early, leaving herself some time for a lunch break, allowing herself to rest as much as possible, and going to the appointment at night in full condition. When Lan Shu was resting in the room in the afternoon, on the other side, Lan Xinya was angry and angry at the Lan''s house in Kyoto. But there was no one at home, so she couldn''t tell. Finally at dusk, when Xu Shan came home from get off work, she saw her sitting on the sofa, her eyes were red with grievance, and she was crying silently. "Xinya, what happened?" Xu Shan immediately put down the vegetables she was carrying, and then came to her adoptive daughter and asked concerned. Although Lan Xinya got angry in front of Lan Shu, she hadn''t figured out how to tell her family about the specific reason, so she didn''t explain it, but just wiped her tears. The adoptive daughter looks like this, it can be seen that she has suffered a great grievance! Xu Shan felt distressed. She immediately called Lan Weicheng and asked Lan Weicheng to come back. Xu Shan felt that Xinya didn''t tell her now because she didn''t have a backbone, and she would definitely tell her father about anything. At the Huaxia shopping mall, Lan Weicheng received a call from his wife and learned that his daughter might have been bullied outside, so he rushed home immediately! And Lan Xinya was just like what Xu Shan thought, seeing her father back, she was finally willing to tell the truth! "I was shopping with my friends in the mall today, and I met Lan Shu. When she saw me, she scolded me when she came up, and said in front of my friend that everything in the house will belong to her in the future, so I don''t want to worry about it..." "Woo~ I didn''t even know she thought of me like this. I just live at home, so does she think I''m going to rob her of the property?" After Lan Xinya finished speaking, she looked up at her father with tears in her eyes. She thought that her father would comfort her when she heard her words and saw her sad appearance, so that she would not be sad. He even said that he would give himself some property in the future. But Lan Xinya never expected that what she met with red eyes and a sad expression was Lan Weicheng''s frowning cold face! Lan Weicheng was concerned when he first saw his adoptive daughter sad. But when he heard Xinya say that Shushu warned her for no reason, and that everything in the house belonged to Shushu, just this one sentence, Lan Weicheng knew one thing¡ªXinya was lying! Shushu has so many industries, how can she value the little property of the Lan family? It is impossible for her to emphasize to Xinya the ownership of the family property. As for the business at home, even if Shu Shu doesn''t say anything, Lan Weicheng plans to hand over all of them to Shu Shu in the future. As for Xinya, he had long thought that he and his wife would give Xinya a sum of money after a hundred years so that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. But now, Xinya''s deliberate lying is just to explain one thing, she actually put her mind on the family property? (end of this chapter) Chapter 292: ability to make money Chapter 292 The ability to make money Lan Weicheng gave Xinya a chance before, telling Xinya to go to the counter to get familiar with the business at the counter. Ke Xinya is not interested at all, and even feels ashamed to do business in public. Now he doesn''t rely on Xinya for business matters, Shushu is his perfect successor. But at this moment, Xinya called her attention again¡ª "Xinya, even if I hand over the family business to you, can you keep it? Do you know how to do business?" "Doing business is not as simple as you think. If you don''t understand, don''t invest energy, and don''t even have the talent to do business, in the end, no matter how big the business is, it won''t be able to withstand losses!" Lan Xinya listened to her father''s words in a daze, and looked at her father''s eyes staring at her, feeling disappointed and angry. At this moment, she seemed to have a feeling that her father had seen through what she wanted in her heart! "dad¡­" Lan Xinya even forgot to continue crying for a while, her father''s angry appearance suddenly gave her a bad feeling! Then she heard Lan Weicheng say, "Xinya, tomorrow morning, I will give you a thousand dollars, and you can use the money to do business, whatever business you want." "If you can make a profit of 500 yuan with the 1,000 yuan in three months, then I will give you part of the family''s business." When Lan Xinya first heard that she was given 1,000 yuan, she still felt happy in her heart. It was because her father loved her and compensated her. But in the next second, she heard her father asked her to use the money as capital, and then to make money! Lan Xinya was stunned, and even felt panicked¡ª But soon, she discovered that her father only asked her to earn 500 yuan in three months. Her monthly pocket money is two hundred, five hundred is not a problem for her at all! Just as she was thinking, Lan Xinya heard Lan Weicheng''s voice sound again¡ª "In these three months, I won''t give you any pocket money. Your goal is to make money. On the way to make money, believe me, you don''t have the spare energy to think about shopping and spending money, and you don''t even care about eating. interest." What Lan Weicheng said was his state when he started his business. But he forgot, Lan Xinya is not him. He can forget to eat and sleep because of starting a business, but Lan Xinya may not. When Lan Xinya heard that her pocket money was cut off, she was already anxious! Could it be that Dad really wants her to earn 500 yuan with 1,000 yuan, and pay for her own food and drink expenses within three months? How can this be! Lan Xinya''s first reaction was unbelievable, but soon, she thought that if she could complete the tasks her father told her, she would be able to have the right to inherit the family business. As long as you work hard for three months, you will have a better life in the future. So after a short silence, Lan Xinya nodded and accepted Lan Weicheng''s condition. "Okay, I will try my best!" Lan Xinya replied. She thought that since Lan Shu could start a business, why couldn''t she? And the challenge that Dad set for himself must not be too difficult. He is just trying to test himself, not embarrassing himself. Adding five hundred yuan, it may not be as difficult to earn as imagined. Various reasons make Lan Xinya quite confident in herself! One thing Lan Xinya thought was right. The test Lan Weicheng gave her this time was not too harsh. Five hundred yuan is not too difficult to earn, because she has a principal of one thousand yuan. But even if it is not difficult to make money, it depends on whether she has the ability to make money¡ª ¡­ At the same time, on the other side, at No. 99 Chang''an Road, Lan Shu''s home. Xiao Bai came to the door two hours ago with ingredients to prepare dinner. When Lan Shu woke up, she could already smell the aroma of food coming from downstairs. When she got up and washed her face, the table in the restaurant on the first floor was already set up. Xiaobai turned to look at her, smiled gently and said, "Lan Shu, it''s time to eat." Then the two sat face to face and began to have dinner together. During dinner, Lan Shu knew that Xiao Bai was going back to school tomorrow. Although there are still two days before the start of school, he has to go back to the laboratory early to follow a new research project. Speaking of new projects, Lan Shu thought of Xiaobai''s previous project on researching Chinese patent medicine for cold medicine. So she casually asked¡ª "Has the previous cold medicine been researched?" Xiaobai nodded, "The reason why I went to Qingyang County a few days late during the summer vacation is because our group''s research has reached the final stage. After the research is successful, I left the school." Saying that, Xiao Bai still didn''t forget to explain to Lan Shu. "We have made two types of cold medicine, including adult medicine and children''s medicine. The seniors and sisters expressed their support for my proposal to increase cold medicine research for children." "So the research we could have ended about half a month earlier was delayed for a few more days." Hearing Xiaobai''s words, Lan Shu was very happy~! "One day, many parents and children will thank you for your half-month hard work!" The dosage for children can greatly guarantee the health problems of children after use. What Xiaobai and his seniors and sisters did can be said to have indirectly saved the lives of many children. This is a matter of infinite merit! Because Lan Shu was in a good mood, even the dinner she ate was more delicious than before. Happy to see Lan Shu, Xiao Bai suddenly felt that his potion research was more meaningful! "Don''t worry, Lan Shu, I will put more energy into the research of medicines, research more medicines, and help more people!" Lan Shu nodded, "I believe you can do it." This night, there was no reluctance to part with each other during the meal between the two, but only Lan Shu''s encouragement to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai''s more confidence and sense of mission in his career! ¡­ Early the next morning, Kyoto, Lan''s house. When Lan Xinya woke up, there was no one at home. Going downstairs, on the coffee table in the living room downstairs, there is a stack of brand new big unions. Lan Xinya stepped forward and counted the money, a total of 1,000 yuan, not a penny. In the past, her monthly pocket money was only 100, even though now she has 200 a month, but because Lan Xinya has no habit of saving money, she really rarely gets so much from her parents all at once. money. Lan Xinya recalled that the last time she got 1,000 yuan was when she got lucky money during Chinese New Year. Since starting a business at home, in previous years, she had 500 lucky money every year, and last year it directly increased to 1,000! Although the New Year''s money doubled, Lan Xinya was not happy about it at all. Because Lan Shu got more lucky money! But the money I get now is different. It¡¯s not lucky money, it¡¯s my father¡¯s high hopes for me and my test! She will pass this test well and let Dad see the bright spots in her body! (end of this chapter) Chapter 293: good luck to you Chapter 293 Good luck to you August ends and September begins. In the beginning of the school season, the majority of students gathered on campus, all of them radiant and brand-new, absorb knowledge in school, enrich themselves, and serve the country after they have learned something. Peking University School of Medicine, freshmen report that there are more female students among the freshmen this year than in previous years, and several of them are particularly outstanding in appearance. Soon they are surrounded by attentive seniors, helping the freshmen to carry luggage, carry The school girls are familiar with the campus. Li Xuan is relatively young among the freshmen. She entered university before she turned eighteen. Because she obviously looks young, plus she has good facial features and a delicate and delicate appearance, so the most seniors surround her. "Li Xuemei, we medical students study in a unified way in the first year, regardless of subjects. They will choose their own development directions according to their own wishes in the second half of the second year. What department do you plan to study?" Someone asked. Hearing this question, Li Xuan thought for a while, then shook her head lightly, "I don''t know what I can learn, so wait a year and see which direction I''m better at~" What Li Xuan said at this time may sound modest to outsiders, or it may be that she chooses to be cautious, but in fact she is telling the truth. If it wasn''t because she wanted to be closer to Gu Jue, Li Xuan would never have come to the medical school! Even though being a doctor is a good profession, she doesn''t want to face patients every day in the future. She feels that such a job is dirty and tiring, and she is not willing to do it. But no matter what happens in the future, now that she''s here, she can''t come in vain! Li Xuan has already figured it out, she will use the time at school to get to know Gu Jue again, and let Gu Jue know that she is here for him¡ª Before Li Xuan came, she only knew that Gu Jue was studying at Peking University School of Medicine. He had come here half a year earlier, and he should be in the second grade now. As Gu Jue''s junior, if I ask him about something I don''t know, it should be a logical opportunity to get in touch, right? However, Li Xuan didn''t know that Gu Jue was no longer in the learning system of normal medical students. In just half a year, he has become a regular member of the graduate and doctoral research teams! Li Xuan wants to get in touch with Gu Jue as a junior, because Gu Jue''s position is too high for her to get in touch with... ¡­ On the other side, Huaxia Shopping Center, on the third floor. In the past two days, the watch counter opposite the cosmetics counter of the Lan family moved to the watch area on the third floor. The counter was vacant, and Yanjuan was planning to report to the little boss whether she should take down the counter and expand their cosmetics counter, but found someone coming from the opposite side, packing up the counter and loading goods. Yanjuan observed for two days, and found that the new shop diagonally opposite also sold cosmetics. This made Yanjuan very puzzled. When other colleagues met their counters, didn''t they just keep away from them? But now, a cosmetics counter has opened near their counter! Is the other party too confident in their own connections, or is the layman ignorant of the situation? You know, their counters have skin care products that are not available at other cosmetics counters in Huaxia Mall! The new lipstick is also the only one, there is no semicolon. If only by selling cosmetics, who can ''beat'' their counter? Opened opposite their counter, are you afraid that no business will go bankrupt? Yanjuan was already wondering how long the cosmetics counter opposite them could last? One month? three months? Or half a year? If you don¡¯t have funds and keep losing money, it probably won¡¯t last long~ In the afternoon, Lan Shu also came to Huaxia Mall. I came here this time because she is leaving Kyoto soon. Before she left, she arranged for the teller Xu Qi to leave in the next few days to develop a new cosmetics counter in Haicheng. After the result came, she saw the situation across the counter from them. Lan Shu was also surprised. There are still places on the third floor where you can open a cosmetics counter, but the other party opened the counter diagonally across from theirs. How can Lan Shu feel that the other party is "fighting" with them? Just as she was thinking, Lan Shu heard Lan Xinya''s voice from a distance¡ª "Lan Shu, didn''t expect that, did you? I will open a counter here to compete with you!" Lan Xinya looked proud. She thought of Lan Shu warning her not to worry about the cosmetics counter at home. She is not rare! Now she drives herself! Seeing Lan Xinya, Lan Shu was finally able to explain what the feeling of ''fighting the ring'' was all about. But it is really unwise for Lan Xinya to open the cosmetics counter here. Looking at how proud she is now, Lan Shu doesn''t want to point it out. Since Lan Xinya came to her door by herself, she must teach Lan Xinya a good lesson, and let Lan Xinya teach her a lesson! So Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya and said lightly, "I really didn''t expect that." After finishing speaking, she changed her voice, "Since the counters are open, I wish you success." Afterwards, Lan Shu ignored Lan Xinya, turned around and said to Yanjuan, "Our business is as usual, don''t let her go." Yanjuan immediately nodded and replied, "Understood!" She already knew what to do. Lan Xinya didn''t expect that she would so bluntly want to compete with Lan Shu for business, but Lan Shu didn''t respond at all? She doesn''t take her own competitiveness so seriously? Lan Xinya looked coldly at Lan Shu opposite, she must make Lan Shu regret that she underestimated herself so much today! However, this is just what Lan Xinya took for granted. The day she thought would never come¡ª ¡­ Lan Shu didn''t stay here for long at Huaxia Mall. After explaining what Xu Qi wanted to do after arriving in Haicheng, she asked Yanjuan to wait for Xu Qi to leave before recruiting two more people. Cosmetics, eyeshadow, liquid foundation, and pressed powder will start to be sold at the counter one after another recently. It must be very busy then, so it is imperative to increase people''s gestures. After listening to the little boss''s orders, Yanjuan naturally obeyed. She has already had experience in recruiting people, so it is not difficult for her to recruit two more people. There is Yanjuan at the cosmetics counter, Lan Shu is very relieved. As for the matter of ''teaching'' Lan Xinya, Lan Shu didn''t even need to be involved, Yanjuan alone was enough. Before leaving, Lan Shu did not forget to tell Yanjuan, "Call me if you need anything." Now there is a landline telephone at the cosmetics counter. Originally, Lan Shu only planned to install one on both sides of the small R&D building and the courtyard, but in the end, considering the sales force at the cosmetics counter, a third landline was added. After having this phone, Yanjuan never let the phone idle. When she is free, she will look through the customer''s consumption records of cosmetics, find customers whose cosmetics are about to be replaced, and remind them to renew their cosmetics and skin care products in time. (end of this chapter) Chapter 294: Difficult to do Chapter 294 Difficult to do Yanjuan spoke nicely, and not only did she not upset customers when she sold them, but the cosmetics counter valued their performance, even knowing that their skin care products were about to run out. So even though the business at the counter has passed for several months, the sales performance has not dropped, but is getting better month by month! ¡­ Lan Shu left Kyoto two days later. Lan Weicheng also learned by chance that the owner of another new cosmetics counter diagonally across from their cosmetics counter is Lan Xinya¡ª¡ª This discovery made Lan Weicheng, who originally had a little expectation of his adopted daughter''s business, no longer think about handing over the family business to Lan Xinya in the future. He didn''t even know that a person could be stupid, so he would make a move to grab business from himself and his family. And it is still such a situation that it is obviously impossible to grab it. Lan Weicheng didn''t even know what Xinya was thinking? No matter what Lan Xinya thought before, but now, after the cosmetics counter has opened for a week, she has panicked¡ª When the new store opened, according to what Lan Xinya thought, there would definitely be many customers, so she came to the counter every day to take care of the business actively these days. Her counter is not very big, only about two meters long, so a female teller is hired. With her, it is more than enough for two people to stand at the counter. On the first day, because of the heavy traffic nearby, Lan Xinya''s counter did open and sold two boxes of cream. The next day, three boxes of cream were sold. On the third day, what was sold was still cream... The people who come to her counter to buy creams are not young girls, but women in their thirties who don''t have the money to buy other cosmetics. In contrast to the cosmetics counter opposite, there are waves of customers coming and going, and almost no one leaves empty-handed. And everyone who leaves the counter is not just buying a single cosmetic. Some skin care products and essential oil soaps can be bought as a set, and some lipsticks can be bought as several sticks. Even the people who bought the cream, after arriving at the counter, would buy some other things by the way before leaving. Lan Xinya didn''t know how much the counter could sell every day, but she could see it clearly. For three consecutive days, the counter opposite had to replenish the goods every day. The first delivery is to send a big box! Sometimes there is a big box of essential oil soap, and another big box of skin care products and other cosmetics! Lan Xinya''s side, the running water on her counter is less than 50 yuan a week. More than a dozen bottles of cream, she earned a total of less than ten yuan. And her investment is quite a lot! One hundred yuan was placed on the counter, and when the goods were purchased, six hundred yuan was directly bought, and the principal of one thousand yuan was only three hundred. At first, she thought that they were also counters selling cosmetics, so her business would definitely not be bad. But Lan Xinya herself doesn''t know the reason, people come and go only buy the things on the opposite side, the same goods just don''t buy from her side! In order to sell the cosmetics, Lan Xinya thought for several days and came up with an idea! So starting from this day, the cosmetics on her counter began to be sold at a reduced price! The original three yuan five a box of cream, now sells for three yuan, and the original six yuan a lipstick, now sells for five yuan. Anyway, the purchase price of cream is 2.6 yuan, and the purchase price of lipstick is 3.5 yuan. She can still earn money. After the price cut, her business at the counter finally improved, and she was able to sell around 100 yuan of running water every day, earning more than 10 yuan a day. Lan Xinya did some calculations, and even if she earns ten yuan a day, she still has three hundred yuan a month. Three months and five hundred yuan away from her father''s request, she can easily complete it! This made Lan Xinya feel that making money is so easy! Knowing this, she didn''t work in the factory, but came out to do business. I thought it would go on like this, but Lan Xinya didn''t expect that when she went to buy the goods after selling the 600 yuan, the wholesaler would refuse to supply her. There is only one reason. She lowered the price maliciously and disturbed the market price. In the past few days, the purchaser has received complaints from several sellers in shopping malls, saying that if the newcomers continue to compete at such a low price, their business will not be able to continue. ! Originally a good ''big cake'' and a group of people can be divided according to their abilities, but suddenly a newcomer came to do something special. While Lan Xinya was making money, she didn''t know that she had offended all her colleagues! So Lan Xinya, who wants to continue to make money but has nothing to sell, stops her money-making plan! Lan Xinya''s cosmetics counter opened for half a month, but had to close temporarily because it was out of stock. After she said all the good things to the supplier and promised not to cut prices and disrupt the market, she finally gained the trust of the supplier. Now, Lan Xinya used all the money in her hands to buy the goods, a total of more than 900 yuan of goods, she is bound to make a good profit! With the goods, Lan Xinya''s business can finally continue, but after she restored the original price, the business began to be deserted again. If you can¡¯t sell the goods, you can¡¯t make money, and her business has once again fallen into an endless loop¡ª¡ª ¡­ When it was not easy for Lan Xinya to make money, Qingyang County. The staff dormitory, canteen, and bathhouse invested and built by Lan Shu''s garment factory have been completely completed! The bathhouse has recruited a boiler master and will start trial operation next month. All the chefs and helpers in the cafeteria were fully recruited. On the second day after Lan Shu came back from Kyoto, the cafeteria officially opened fire! Lan Shu''s cafeteria is not only open to the workers of the garment factory, workers from several other factories in the surrounding industrial park can go to the cafeteria to eat as long as they want. The canteen only accepts internal meal tickets, which can be bought with money. The price of meals is cheaper than that of restaurants outside, and the taste of the food is better than that of the staff canteens in several other factories. So after the opening of the canteen, within a week, it attracted workers from other factories around. Most of the people who came here just bought a meal ticket of one or two yuan at a time with the idea of ??trying something new. After they came to have a meal, they found that the canteen opened by this garment factory was obviously more luscious than the canteen in their own factory! They can eat meat in vegetarian dishes, and they can eat more than two or three slices every time! There is more meat in meat dishes! Half of the potato braised pork is braised pork! You can really eat ribs in the rib soup! The chef in this cafeteria is too willing, right? ! Later, someone said that the new cafeteria slaughtered pigs in the backyard every morning, one pig a day, and all the real meat went into their stomachs. "As long as I can eat so much meat, I will go to the canteen of the clothing factory to eat in the future!" Many people in other factories began to discuss in private. (end of this chapter) Chapter 295: profit Chapter 295 Profit When the garment factory first built a public canteen, the scale of the canteen was far greater than the number of employees in the garment factory. Nowadays, there are only two to three hundred people in the garment factory, but the cafeteria can accommodate thousands of people to eat together, so even if workers from several factories around come to eat in the large cafeteria of the garment factory, they can still sit down. It¡¯s just that the canteen chef didn¡¯t cook too many portions at the beginning, until it increased every day. After a week, the canteen steadily cooked meals for more than 500 people at noon and evening every day. The quantity is limited, don¡¯t wait when it¡¯s out of date, and if you come late, you won¡¯t have anything to eat. In addition to the booming business in the big cafeteria, the staff dormitory is also full of people. Most of the three batches of workers recruited by the garment factory in recent months are from other counties, and they all rent houses nearby. After the construction of the staff dormitory this time, Liu Axing, the acting deputy director of the factory, made the decision to provide housing for those whose homes are not from the county. Employees with priority in dormitory arrangements. Now the first two rows of the newly built staff dormitory are full of people, and the third row has only been painted for a short time, and it still needs to be dried, and people will be arranged to live in next month. A Xing originally wanted to live in the staff dormitory, but at this stage, others need a place to live, so she waited for the third row of dormitories to be available, and then reserved a room for herself. The bathhouse will have a soft opening next month, and Lan Shu asked Liu Axing to find a place to print some bath tickets when she goes to the city next time. At that time, send a few copies to each of the factory workers in advance, and when the bathhouse opens, they can enjoy the joy of bathing with unlimited warm water. Lan Shu has already thought about it, and the employees in the factory will be given four tickets every month as employee benefits. For outsiders to take a bath, a ticket costs 60 cents to 80 cents, and the price depends on the situation. There are quite a few factories nearby, but there is only one bathhouse. When the bathhouse opens, the income from selling only tickets will be considerable every month. Although the money earned by the canteen now and the bathhouse in the future is a drop in the bucket compared to the business of the clothing factory, it¡¯s nothing at all, but any money can be accumulated from a small amount. For Lan Shu, as long as it is profitable She will support and pay attention to any project. ¡­ On the other side, Haicheng. Xu Qi took the 500 yuan given by Lan Shu, and bought two counters on the second floor of the largest and most prosperous shopping mall in Haicheng. The length of each counter is 1.3 meters, and the two are 2.6 meters next to each other, which can basically hold the products they want to sell. After finding the counter here, Xu Qi immediately started to recruit the teller. At the same time, she did not forget to call the Kyoto side and ask the Kyoto side to deliver the goods with the car. The cosmetics counter in Haicheng, Lan Shu told Lan Weicheng in advance that the counter was opened under the name of "Lan''s Pure Plant Brand", so it has nothing to do with the Lan family, it is her own business. Lan Weicheng has no objection to this. He didn''t even spend much effort on the cosmetics counter in Jingdu Huasha Shopping Mall. It was all because of his daughter''s help to the family. So when the counter in Haicheng opened, although Lan Weicheng didn''t show up, he asked someone to send ten flower baskets there on the day the counter opened, which was enough to support the appearance! On the opening day of the counter in Haicheng, the pure plant skin care products attracted the attention of many people. Although the sales were not as high as the peak level in Kyoto, they still sold more than 800 yuan. The next day, the sales increased and exceeded 1,000. This was the case when only skin care products, essential oil soaps and lipsticks were on the counter, and no other cosmetics were on the counter. At the cosmetics counter in Haicheng, Lan Shu doesn''t plan to sell foreign products, and the name of pure plants is listed, so all cosmetics and skin care products must be produced in-house to ensure the quality. ¡­ In mid-September, a crispy fried chicken restaurant opened on a street not far from Linjiang City Hospital. The store opened, and the business was good that day. People who come to buy fried chicken are all attracted by the aroma of fried chicken, whether they are old people or children, they cannot resist the temptation of crispy fried chicken! Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang began to study fried chicken half a month ago under the guidance of their daughter. When they were in the village, they had already mastered the best taste and temperature of fried chicken after five ovens of fried chicken. The freshly killed chickens are marinated overnight, and fried in a giant pressure cooker the next day. Three pots of fried chicken can be produced every day, a total of 120 chickens. At the beginning, the old couple didn¡¯t prepare too many chickens, thinking that they couldn¡¯t sell that many chickens, so they sold 60 chickens a day a few days ago. Later, the fried chicken was sold out after two o¡¯clock in the afternoon every day, and after the two of them increased as appropriate, they finally kept 100 to 110 chickens a day, just enough to sell them all. After opening the shop for a week, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang settled their accounts. The chickens they sell cost two yuan and five each, bought from their children¡¯s chicken farms, slaughtered and marinated to make fried chicken, one sells for four yuan, and each can only earn one yuan and five. In addition to selling fried chicken, chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, and chicken livers are made of marinated goods. The income from selling ''three pieces of chicken'' every day is enough to cover the rent for opening the shop, as well as the seasoning and rapeseed oil used to make fried chicken. Calculated in this way, they can earn at least 150 yuan by selling 100 chickens a day, and they can earn 4,500 yuan in 30 days a month! Such income, in the past, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t even dare to think about it! But now, the money they received this week is real gold and silver lying in their money boxes, so much that it is simply fascinating! Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang knew that they were able to make so much money thanks to their daughter. In addition to the recipe for making crispy fried chicken is given by their daughters, it is their daughters who let them open the shop with peace of mind and solve all their worries for them. It takes five hours a day to travel from Tianshui Village to Linjiang City, and it takes at least four or five hours to kill chickens and process and marinate them every day. At first, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang planned to work on their own, even if it was a bit harder, they were not afraid of hardship. But when Shushu calculated the time and cost for them, the two realized that even if they were not afraid of hard work, they couldn''t do so much work every day. So Lan Shu recruited people in the village to kill chickens and clean and marinate them every day. The chickens provided by the chicken farm are fully processed, marinated chickens that can be fried directly in the stove. In this way, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang only need to rent a house near the store, and wait for the processed chickens to be delivered from the village to the city every day, and then make and sell them. It is also because of such an orderly arrangement that their business can last for a long time. ¡­ Linjiang City Hospital, during the noon break after get off work, Lan Xiuming came out of the hospital, rode his bicycle, and rushed to the front of his parents'' fried chicken shop. Looking at the long queue at the door, Lan Xiuming didn''t know whether he should line up at the back, or use his status advantage to go directly to the front? (end of this chapter) Chapter 296: Fried Chicken Branch Chapter 296 Fried Chicken Branch Ever since some colleagues in the hospital learned that the "Old Couple" crispy fried chicken restaurant near the hospital was opened by Lan Xiuming''s family, some people urged Dr. Lan to help them buy fried chicken. The fried chicken shop is not far from their hospital diagonally. Every day the fried chicken is baked, and the smell can waft directly to their hospital. Anyone who smells it will want to eat one to satisfy their hunger! But because the business of the fried chicken shop is so good, they may not be able to line up in many cases. Besides, doctors are busy, and they don''t have so much time for them to wait in line for fried chicken. So despite the fact that the fried chicken shop has been open for more than a week, there are not many colleagues who have eaten fried chicken in the hospital. I heard from patients who came to the hospital that fried chicken is delicious, and once you eat it, the taste will never be forgotten! These doctors, their wages are higher than ordinary workers, so even if fried chicken costs four yuan a piece, they don''t hesitate. Today, doctors from several departments discussed with each other and pooled up forty yuan, thinking that Lan Xiuming would help out and buy ten for them. This is due to everyone''s consideration that ten pieces of crispy fried chicken are not easy to hold, and Dr. Lan might not be able to handle any more, so they only bought ten pieces for the time being. In the fried chicken restaurant, Chang Chunfang saw her second son coming, and immediately greeted, "Xiu Ming, what are you doing standing at the door? Hurry up and help." In the store, Lan Shengli cut up the crispy chicken, and she packaged and sold the ''Three Pieces of Chicken'' stewed next to it. The two of them can basically get through normally, but when the sales peak at noon, no matter how fast the speed is, it will seem slow to the long queue outside. Seeing her son coming now, Chang Chunfang called her immediately without any politeness. It¡¯s like this in their family, the son uses it casually, and the daughter treats it as a treasure. Although the second child is now a doctor, in front of his parents, no matter how capable he is, he still has to do what he should do! When Lan Xiuming heard the shout, he hurried into the store, washed his hands, and took over the job of selling braised ''three pieces of chicken''. The marinated chicken hearts and livers cost one yuan a catty, and the chicken gizzards cost one yuan and two. Lan Xiuming weighed them accurately. While selling three pieces of marinated chicken, Lan Xiuming took the time to talk about buying ten pieces of fried chicken for his colleagues in the hospital. When Chang Chunfang heard it, it stands to reason that the business in the store is good, and it is a good thing that someone buys fried chicken, but there are too many customers queuing outside at noon today. "Ten... may not be left." Chang Chunfang was a little embarrassed. Others have already lined up, but they couldn''t buy fried chicken. It must be a bad mood, so Chang Chunfang hesitated and made a decision. "I will keep five pieces of fried chicken in the pot for you. If there are any more, you will be gone. After a while, you will bring three pieces of braised chicken from our store to a catty, and treat it as a gift from your parents to your colleagues, and let them eat it." Excuse me, I want to eat fried chicken and come back tomorrow." Hearing what his mother said, Lan Xiuming could only let it go. But he knew that it was not easy for him to take five chickens back through the back door. Before his parents opened this fried chicken shop, Lan Xiuming never thought that the business of the shop would be so good, and the fried chicken made by his parents would be liked by so many people. At that time, he was somewhat worried about his parents resigning their jobs in the village, but now, seeing his parents so happy about doing business every day, Lan Xiuming is also happy for them! The sixty-eight chickens at noon were all sold out by 12:30, and the remaining five were cut up by Lan Shengli, and Chang Chunfang packed them up and handed them to their son. Seeing this, Lan Xiuming immediately took out twenty yuan. Chang Chunfang was also polite, and reached out to take it. They do business on a small budget, but they don¡¯t want to slap their faces to make themselves fat. Even if they are son¡¯s colleagues, they still sell what should be sold. At most, it is three pieces of braised chicken as a topping. That is to say, my son¡¯s colleagues have this preferential treatment, and others who want to eat can only pay more for it. At noon, although Lan Xiuming returned to the hospital a little late, none of his colleagues blamed him. Originally wanted to buy ten pieces of crispy fried chicken, but now Dr. Lan only brought back five pieces. The few colleagues who didn¡¯t buy the fried chicken seemed to have nothing to love. Fortunately, we are all colleagues, and the five fried chickens are shared, which is enough. I invite you today, next time you invite me, the hospital cafeteria is harmonious. ¡­ In the afternoon, Lan Shu drove from Qingyang County to Linjiang City by car. She came here for nothing else, mainly to see her parents, and to bring two crispy chickens home. Since her parents reproduced the crispy chicken according to her recipe, Lan Shu has also become obsessed with this taste. It''s a pity that her parents opened the store in Linjiang City, so when she wants to eat, she can only ask Master Zhang to drive her from the county to the city to eat. It''s still too late to eat, so Lan Shu set off at three o''clock, and arrived at the store after four o''clock, just in time for the crispy fried chicken to come out of the pan. Lan Shu moved a stool and sat at the door while eating fried chicken while it was hot, while hearing from her parents that her second brother came to help at noon, and when she left, she helped her colleagues take away several fried chickens. After eating the chicken leg, Lan Shu said, "Second brother''s colleague has vision!" Then she mentioned to her parents about opening a crispy fried chicken branch. "The fried chicken made by our family is so delicious, it''s really inconvenient when I want to eat it, so I thought about opening a store in the county." The store opened by parents is run by themselves. If a new store is opened, Lan Shu plans to hire someone to work. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang certainly support their daughter''s idea. "Go ahead and open it. Let people work in our store for a few days to learn, and then open a new store." Chang Chunfang said. Lan Shu has exactly this intention. Although the matter of marinating the whole chicken is handled in the village before being sent out, the time and heat for making crispy fried chicken still needs to be learned. Here Lan Shu and her parents agreed, the next step is to open a store and recruit people. In addition to this, the most important thing is the source of the chicken. The free-range chicken farm in the back mountain is almost unable to supply the chickens needed by the family every day. If another store is opened, the raw materials will definitely be even more scarce. Recently, Lan Dazhuang has collected chickens in ten miles and eight townships, but the number of chickens received is limited, and the follow-up is definitely not enough. So today, apart from talking to her parents about opening another crispy fried chicken restaurant, Lan Shu also contacted chicken farms in various counties through the city''s channels to collect chickens in large quantities. It is best to be able to supply for a long time and sign a contract. In this way, they will not be afraid of opening too many crispy fried chicken shops in the future, in case a competitor cuts off their supply channels at the source. Crispy fried chicken seems to be a shop now, but in the future, Lan Shu still has a long-term vision~! As long as the source of supply can be guaranteed, it will not be a problem to open a nationwide chain store in the future! (end of this chapter) Chapter 297: reveal all the details Chapter 297 Pocket Lan Shu stayed in Linjiang City for two days this time. Through the big restaurants in the city, she learned about the sources of ingredients for the restaurants, and then successfully contacted a chicken farm in Tangcheng County, which is near Linjiang City. The next day, she asked the driver, Master Zhang, to take her there, and met the person in charge of the chicken farm. The chicken farm in Tangcheng County is a large shed chicken farm, all of which are fed in chicken cages, and the feed and grain are mixed. Because these chickens don''t have enough opportunities to move around, they grow fatter. These chickens are a little too big for crispy chicken. So Lan Shu talked with the person in charge of the chicken farm about the chickens needed, and they could only be young **** with a gross weight of less than two catties and six taels within three and a half months. There are many chicken farms for such chickens. After learning about Lan Shu''s demand, the person in charge of the chicken farm said that they can supply them for a long time. The two parties signed the contract immediately, and the chicken farm promised to send a truckload of chickens to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County every week. After the supply of the fried chicken shop was negotiated, Lan Shu''s work efficiency has always been very high. At the end of September, a crispy fried chicken shop opened near the shopping mall in Qingyang County. The clerk was hired by Lan Shu. Coincidentally, when Lan Shu was about to recruit people, she met Mrs. He who lived next door when she lived in the staff dormitory of the machinery factory. Sister-in-law He has a younger brother named He Yi, who is an employee of the machinery factory. He helped in the toilet paper factory earlier and learned simple sanitary napkin machine maintenance from Mark. Later, Lan Shu heard that He Yi''s brother-in-law, sister-in-law He''s man, was fired when the machinery factory laid off workers and returned to the countryside. She also gave Secretary Qu the opportunity to contact He Yi and Mrs. He, and the toilet paper factory could provide them with jobs. Because it was not easy for Mrs. He to contact her after she returned to the village, Secretary Qu''s words reached Mrs. He''s ears not long ago. So after thinking about it for half a month in the countryside, Mrs. He brought her man to the county town, planning to join Lan Shu. Originally they were going to work in a toilet paper factory, but they heard that Lan Shu was going to open a fried chicken restaurant, and now they were recruiting employees. Compared to working in a factory, Mrs. He would rather go to a fried chicken restaurant, because the salary in a fried chicken restaurant is 20 yuan higher than that in a toilet paper factory. If her man goes to work in a fried chicken shop together, they will get an extra forty yuan a month. In that way, they will soon be able to settle down in the county seat. Now He Yi has entered the toilet paper factory as a skilled worker, while Mrs. He and her husband have started working in a fried chicken shop. Lan Shu still has a deep impression of Sister He. Although Sister-in-law He is stingy and stingy, it is precisely because of this personality that she is more suitable for the business of selling goods for money. With her here, Lan Shu doesn''t have to worry about money in the fried chicken shop. Not long after Mrs. He took over the fried chicken shop, something happened in Kyoto. When Lan Shu received the call, she was preparing to go to Kyoto next Wednesday. As a result, Yan Juan, the sales manager at the cosmetics counter on the third floor of Jingdu Huaxia Shopping Mall, called her. The cause of the incident was Lan Xinya. Since Lan Xinya sold cosmetics at low prices over the counter and disrupted the entire cosmetics market, the wholesalers stopped letting her buy them. Later, she said all the good things, said that she was Lan Weicheng''s daughter, and promised not to sell cosmetics at low prices, so the wholesaler chose to believe her and give her a chance because of Lan Weicheng''s face. As a result, Lan Xinya, who re-arrived the goods, did not last for a few days. After she found out that she had no customers without lowering the price, her counter cut the price again as a matter of course. This time, Lan Xinya bought more than 900 yuan worth of goods, even if the price was reduced, she could still sell for more than a week. And her price reduction soon became known to the entire Kyoto cosmetics circle! Because the wholesaler was very angry, he said to the outside world that he believed in Lan Weicheng, so he let her buy the goods. As a result, Lan Weicheng''s daughter did not believe her words in doing business! People who do business care most about word of mouth. When Lan Weicheng learned of what his adopted daughter had done, he went to Lan Xinya''s cosmetics counter that day and bought all of Lan Xinya''s wholesale products at her low selling price. Now it is on sale at the cosmetics counter of the Lan family. The reason why Yanjuan called Lan Shu about this matter was that she had a problem with the boss''s approach. As the sales manager of the counter, she absolutely did not accept other people''s goods at a price that was so much higher than the purchase price, and then put them on the counter for sale! Yanjuan thinks that the boss of the counter is Lan Weicheng, but Lan Shu is also a small boss, and the small boss must have the right to know about this matter. So after Lan Shu learned of this situation, she temporarily changed her itinerary the next day and went to Kyoto from Qingyang County¡ª She thinks the same as Yanjuan, their cosmetics counter has no obligation to explain Lan Xinya''s mistakes! Her father seems to be helping his daughter by doing this, but he is actually destroying the principle! In business, word of mouth is important, and principles are equally important. If the existence of Lan Xinya makes Lan Weicheng lose her position, then she will probably have a clearer separation with Lan Weicheng in terms of business in the future! ¡­ Evening, Kyoto, Lan''s house. Lan Weicheng was very annoyed at Lan Xinya''s back-and-forth behavior! Xinya''s move this time can be regarded as destroying all the word of mouth he has accumulated in the mall in the past two or three years! Originally, he gave Lan Xinya a chance to earn 500 yuan in three months, so let it go! When Lan Xinya learned that her father did not intend to maintain the previous agreement, she was stunned first, and then burst into tears in front of Xu Shan! "It''s the first time I''ve come into contact with doing business. Even if I don''t do well, my father will teach me slowly. But now, he directly deprives me of the opportunity to learn how to do business..." Xu Shan didn''t know much about the situation in the mall, and Lan Xinya was hiding some things and didn''t confess them thoroughly, so she felt that her husband''s handling of her daughter was indeed too strict. So when Lan Weicheng arrived home, what he heard was that Xu Shan was acting as a lobbyist for his adopted daughter. Lan Weicheng: ¡­ He was surprised to find that Xinya didn''t humbly admit her mistake, but persuaded his wife to speak up for her. What she did was to say a few good words, can anyone outside forgive her? Lan Weicheng was even more disappointed with Lan Xinya''s ignorance of repentance! The next day, Lan Weicheng, who was already angry in his heart, met his biological daughter in Huaxia Shopping Mall. Based on the usual time when Lan Shu came to the capital, this time she came a few days earlier. Lan Weicheng was surprised that Shushu came by coincidence, but then he saw Lanshu going up to the third floor of the shopping mall with a sullen face. Now, what else does Lan Weicheng not understand? Shushu must have known about the fact that he bought all the cosmetics on Xinya''s counter! Lan Weicheng knew that he had done something wrong, so he immediately went upstairs with a guilty conscience and wanted to explain to his daughter. (end of this chapter) Chapter 298: no longer exclusive Chapter 298 is no longer exclusive Lan Shu just wanted to hear an explanation, so Lan Weicheng delivered it to her door. The cosmetics counter on the third floor of the shopping mall, in front of Lan Xinya''s unused cosmetics counter, Lan Shu stood there quietly, listening to Lan Weicheng tell his difficulties. Can¡­ "Who is easy to do business with?" "Lan Xinya has a good father, so if she does something wrong, someone will help her. If someone else does this kind of thing, the business will be ruined directly!" Lan Shu said lightly. Lan Weicheng knew that he was in the wrong, and he also knew that what he did was wrong, so he promised, "Just this time, it will definitely not happen next time! I have already told Xinya that she should not be involved in future business occasions. .¡± "Really?" Lan Shu was skeptical. Lan Xinya would be such an obedient person? As the heroine, it''s strange to be plain. Before Lan Xinya went to work quietly for a few months, Lan Shu found it incredible, but now Lan Xinya''s operation made Lan Shu feel like, "The protagonist can really make a fuss!" ¡¯ thoughts. Opposite, Lan Weicheng hadn''t heard his daughter''s concerns yet, he thought it was over like this. But the next second, he heard Lan Shu say, "From now on, my cosmetics company''s skin care products, essential oil soaps, and other products will no longer be supplied separately to our counter." "In the future, cosmetics counters in Kyoto and other cities, as long as they have a certain scale and qualifications, and want to sell our company''s cosmetics, they can order from our company." Lan Shu said. Hearing what his daughter said, Lan Weicheng suddenly realized that her daughter was angry! In the past, she regarded the cosmetics counter as her own business, but now, it is time to draw a line¡ª After Lan Shu finished speaking, she looked at Lan Weicheng. "Dad, in the future the counter needs to pick up the goods, so let the counter check out and order first, and someone else will order it later, that is out of my control." After finishing speaking, Lan Shu said to Yanjuan, "Manager Yan, my cosmetics company lacks a sales manager. If you are interested, you can consider it." Yanjuan was the employee she personally recruited at the beginning. Now that she wants to separate from the Lan family''s business, she needs to notify her old employees. In fact, what she did was considered poaching, but Lan Shu has the confidence to do so! Because of Yanjuan''s dissatisfaction with Lan Weicheng, small conflicts will lead to big problems sooner or later. Rather than making the two parties unhappy when the time comes, it is better to deal with the relationship as soon as possible. When Yanjuan heard what the little boss said, she was naturally happy to work with the little boss. So she immediately turned her head and said to Lan Weicheng, "Boss, I will recruit one or two more people for the counter as soon as possible in the next few days, and I will leave the job after handing over the work." Yanjuan''s attitude was firm. She didn''t even ask Lan Shu how much she paid for her new job, and she continued to work with Lan Shu without the slightest hesitation. Lan Weicheng had no choice but to sigh, and then agreed. ¡­ In the next few days, just like what Lan Shu said, her cosmetics company''s products began to be supplied to the outside world. As soon as the news came out, in just two days, the cosmetics counter owners of Huaxia Shopping Mall, Huayang Shopping Mall, and Huamei Shopping Mall contacted her with money to order. Lan Shu gave the other party the landline in the courtyard, telling them to contact Zhou Di directly if they want to buy in the future. It was also at this time that Zhou Di''s potential sales talent in interacting with people was fully revealed! From morning to night, Zhou Di was arranging for people to deliver the goods. At the end of the whole day, before getting off work at night, Zhou Di called Lan Shu to report the work progress. "Boss, all our company''s essential oil soaps and skin care products have been sold out, and there is no stock left in the warehouse. In addition, all the products that can be produced within the next month have also been booked in advance!" "How many orders have been ordered at the counter managed by Manager Yan?" Lan Shu asked. After thinking for a while, Zhou Di replied, "Thirty percent is less than forty percent. Manager Yan called to order earlier, that''s why we can order so many." Lan Shu nodded upon hearing this. Yanjuan can order so many goods in advance, which is probably the largest order quantity within her authority. With these products, her dad''s cosmetics counter will not be out of stock for the time being. But not necessarily in the future. At this time, what Lan Shu cares about is not the sales situation of various cosmetics counters in Kyoto, but the supply volume in her cosmetics company. She is waiting. After Yanjuan comes to her place to work, the newly built small building and two workshops in the suburbs will be used to speed up the production of cosmetics and skin care products¡ª ¡­ time into October. On the fifth day of October, Yanjuan completely left the cosmetics counter. Lan Shu gave Yanjuan the title of manager of a cosmetics company, and handed over a small suburban building and two workshops to Yanjuan. Follow-up recruitment, as well as the production direction of cosmetics, are all managed and made by her. Although those who can do more work, Lan Shu does not oppress employees for nothing. She pays Yanjuan a salary of 100 yuan a month, plus 1% of the shares of the cosmetics company, which can be distributed at the end of the year. With such treatment, it is equivalent to Yanjuan becoming one of the shareholders of the company from being a worker. I used to work for others, but now I work for myself! Although there are not many shares, Lan Shu said that if they do well in the future, there will be more shares. This sentence really mobilized Yanjuan to give everything for the company''s development! After the affairs of the cosmetics company were handed over to Yanjuan, Lan Shu started her other work in the capital. The work of the TV station, the business situation of the Walkman direction, and paying attention to Lu Wei''s research on the VCD direction. Lan Shu and Lu Wei had previously mentioned the manufacture of CDs for storing audio and video images, as well as CD players. For this reason, she deliberately contacted Mark abroad to find out if there was anything related to it in the world. As a result, Mark really helped her connect with people abroad who have technical research in this direction. Lan Shuhua bought the other party''s immature machines and technologies at a high price, and then handed them over to Lu Wei for reference research. Without Lan Shu, Lu Wei would have absolutely no connections to get these things, but with Lan Shu''s help, it will be of great help to Lu Wei''s research! Even according to Lu Wei, his research has entered the late stage. If there is no accident, the prototype machine will be released next month! And there is not much distance between the sample machine and the official product. If it goes well, before the end of the year, the VCD and CD will be officially launched! This news is definitely good news for Lan Shu! Because once VCDs and CDs enter ordinary households, it will be a new chapter in the development of video. At that time, she can invest in more film and television projects and seize the huge cake of the film and television market! Once the opportunity is taken, the subsequent development will be like a fish in water, and it will be a matter of course¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 299: end of the year Chapter 299 End of the Year At this time, when Lan Shu was making business plans for the future film and television industry. Haicheng, after half a year, Gu Cheng has become the number one electrical appliance business in Haicheng! Over 60% of electrical appliances in Haicheng are sold from his shop. Looking at last month''s financial statement, Gu Chengyou found that his electrical company''s profit in Kyoto exceeded 50,000, and that in Haicheng reached more than 80,000! A net income of more than 100,000 yuan a month is already surrounded by wealth for others, but in Gu Cheng''s view, this amount of money is not enough! He needs to make more money to be able to compare with his younger brother Gu Jue''s company, and to be able to steadily compare Gu Jue''s career! So Gu Cheng started a new business Tyranny based on the electrical appliance company! When it comes to doing business, Gu Cheng thinks of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Although the prospect of the clothing industry is good, it is not suitable for him. For food, he thought about opening a restaurant, but the management of the restaurant is very detailed, and he has to devote a lot of energy to make it happen. Live and travel, one is a house, the other is a means of transportation. Nowadays, the bicycle business is relatively common in big cities. Just like his electrical company, the market share has been occupied by other businesses. Next is the house. Gu Cheng thought of buying land in a big city, developing a small residential area, and selling houses. As long as the location is good, the house is beautifully built, and the supporting environment is good, he thinks it is feasible to do real estate! So Gu Cheng used most of the money earned by his electrical company to build a house and sell it later¡ª When Gu Cheng embarked on the road of real estate and became a real estate tycoon in the future, Xiaobai, the electronic information company he invested in, also had a very good development. Pagers were first sold in Kyoto, and later Haicheng, Yuanping, and other first-tier cities to second-tier cities. More and more people use pagers, a communication device that is affordable by the general public. Because of the demand for pagers, the pager manufacturing plant managed by Xue Chuang has expanded rapidly, with more than 400 workers and thousands of pagers produced every day! There are hundreds of specialists at the main pager signal station! When the development momentum of pagers was just right, Xue Chuang started to research new products again. Big Brother''s mobile phone function made him very envious. After the communication link of the pager was established, Xue Chuang began to use this set of contact network to carry out the next step of mobile phone communication development. He already has the first mobile phone that imitates the function of a big brother. If it goes well, next year after the pager, a new mobile phone will also be available! ¡­ At the end of October, Suxiao Jiuxin Pills appeared in pharmacies of major hospitals for sale. In November, Chinese patent cold medicine appeared on the market. It was first put on the shelves of hospital pharmacies, and then promoted to some health centers and outpatient clinics in various cities. Peking University School of Medicine, Xiaobai and his seniors and sisters¡¯ team won a bonus of 2,000 yuan after the cold medicine was launched for the successful development of a Chinese patent cold medicine. The bonus was distributed to everyone equally, and each person shared more than 300 yuan. Although the money is not much for Xiaobai, it is the first money he has earned on the road of medicine. After getting the money, Xiao Bai''s first thought was to share his joy with Lan Shu. So after Lan Shu came to Kyoto that month, he asked Lan Shu to go to the Kyoto Hotel for dinner! That night, Lan Shu arrived as scheduled. In the private room of the hotel, the two sat together and had a warm dinner quietly. After dinner, Lan Shu had nothing else to do, so she asked Xiao Bai how she was doing at school. Hearing Lan Shu''s concern for him, Xiao Bai picked up a few things and talked about them. "Recently, I followed the team in the laboratory to develop a new drug, and the results are coming soon. This time, the new drug is a drug that has the effect of analgesic surgery. It was jointly completed by me, two seniors, and a senior sister." "After the drug is successfully developed, I will have a bonus. At that time..." "You can keep it when the time comes, and I''ll treat you to dinner next time." Lan Shu said before Xiao Bai could speak. She knows that Xiaobai treats her well, but she can''t always enjoy Xiaobai''s kindness to her unilaterally. She was afraid that she was too used to it and would not be able to change it in the future. Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback when he heard what Lan Shu said¡ª After hesitating for a moment, he nodded, "Okay!" If his bonus is not used for dinner, then buy a gift for Lan Shu. Xiao Bai has already made up his mind, he has never had any other choice except Lan Shu¡ª ¡­ The time has entered December, and the Chinese New Year will be in just over a month. Lan Shu plans to live in Kyoto this year, and she will take her parents over. If the brothers are willing, she can live in her mansion. Before the end of the year, Lan Shu''s factories and companies have to settle accounts, and they are quite busy. Fortunately, most of the work has finance and secretaries working hard, and Lan Shu is only waiting for the factory and company''s year-end summary report. December is over, and in mid-January, school holidays begin. On this day, Li Xuan finally stood guard at the school gate, waiting for Gu Jue. Li Xuan did not expect that she went to Peking University School of Medicine because of Gu Jue. She thought that the two of them would always meet from time to time during a semester. But Li Xuan realized that she had made a mistake! After half a month of class, she realized that Gu Jue was no longer in the teaching building, but spent most of his time in the laboratory. So a semester has passed, and Li Xuan saw Gu Jue for the first time. Seeing the person she was thinking of, Li Xuan immediately rushed up¡ª "Gu Jue! Go home? Let''s go together." She said, with the brightest smile on her face, she hoped that her smile could be seen by Gu Jue. It''s a pity that Xiaobai heard someone call his name, he just looked up, and then showed a confused look. Obviously, it''s been too long, and he has already forgotten about Li Xuan. Even if they are neighbors in the same compound, Xiao Bai doesn''t remember Li Xuan''s appearance. Li Xuan is not stupid, she immediately noticed that Gu Jue was looking at the strangeness in her eyes. So Gu Jue...don''t remember her? Li Xuan was sad in her heart, but she didn''t show it on her face. She still smiled brightly, "Gu Jue, I''m Li Xuan." "Oh." Xiaobai responded, and then asked, "Have you been admitted to Peking University School of Medicine?" He remembered that several times this semester, the seniors in the laboratory sent news to others, saying that a school girl was looking for him. Because it wasn''t Lan Shu who came, Xiao Bai didn''t go to see her. Now it seems that the person looking for him should be Li Xuan. Asked by Gu Jue, Li Xuan was still a little sad that she was forgotten, but suddenly became cheerful! "Yes, I''m a first-year student at Peking University School of Medicine!" Li Xuan replied. Responding to this answer, Xiaobai just nodded lightly, "Study hard." (end of this chapter) Chapter 300: fruit candy Chapter 300 Fruit Candy After finishing speaking, Xiaobai didn''t mention Li Xuan''s invitation to go back with him, and bypassed him and left the school. The conversation between him and Li Xuan just now was just the most common communication between two acquaintances. Li Xuan, who was looking forward to this meeting, could see that Gu Jue...has no heart for her! Can there really be no future between her and Gu Jue? Isn''t it said that women chase men''s spacer yarn? But now it seems that there seems to be a thousand mountains and rivers between Gu Jue and her¡ª ¡­ At the end of January, there is still more than a week before the Chinese New Year. Lan Shu went to Linjiang City, came to the "Old Couple" crispy fried chicken restaurant near the Linjiang City Hospital, and told her parents about her New Year''s plan. Learning that Shushu is going to pick them up to celebrate the New Year in Kyoto, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are happy, but hesitant. Of course they want to celebrate the New Year with their daughters, but they are in the fried chicken business, and if they work less for one day, they will earn less money for one day. More than one hundred a day, if they don¡¯t persist until the last day of the Chinese New Year, they will definitely feel distressed~! This is how making money in business is like this. It is the nature of many people. Once they can make money, they will calculate how much they earn in a day, a month, and a year. They wish they could spend their entire lives working hard to make money. The old couple''s idea of ??making money is so strong that Lan Shu wants to give them money, but they don''t want it. They just want to work hard until the last day¡ª Adding Chang Chunfang said, "During the Chinese New Year, your elder brother and your sister-in-law are both at home. Your sister-in-law is at our house for the first year. Your father and I will definitely be at home." So in order to accommodate her parents, Lan Shu decided to change her New Year''s plan this year. By the end of the year, she will also celebrate the New Year in Tianshui Village! ¡­ In the last two days of the end of the year, Lan Shu gave out the year-end bonus red envelopes to the workers in the toilet paper factory and the garment factory, and announced the official holiday! In addition to the red envelopes given to ordinary workers, at the toilet paper factory, Deputy Director Zhu and Zhang Yunjing also received additional dividends because they invested in the factory and took up equity. After one year, the profit of the toilet paper factory is definitely good! Although they only had a few percent of the shares in their hands, in the end, Deputy Director Zhu received 35,000 yuan in dividends, while Zhang Yunjing directly took more than 70,000 yuan! So much money has already exceeded their initial investment. Both of them did not expect that in just over a year, their dedication and harvest would have undergone such a big change! In addition to the two, Xiaobai, who holds more than half of the shares in the factory, got more dividends, more than 700,000 yuan, which was transferred to Xiaobai''s account by Lanshu. And Lan Shu herself also received a dividend of more than 100,000 yuan, which is only the profit of the toilet paper factory. The garment factory, in one year, earned a net profit of more than 1.5 million yuan! In addition to the two factories, the cosmetics research and development company and the Walkman factory in Kyoto also make a lot of money. The cosmetics company has only been open for half a year, and it has already created a sales volume of 400,000 for Lan Shu, with a profit of more than 70%! At the walkman factory, Lan Shu received a dividend of more than 20% of the shares, and also received hundreds of thousands. So today''s Lan Shu, the total annual income of his business has reached nearly three million! With such an income, she can definitely be called a veritable rich man! In the 1980s, her worth was not ordinary rich! ¡­ On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Lan Sibo returned home from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Lan Xiuming was on duty at the hospital, so he couldn''t go home until tomorrow night. It just so happens that Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang''s fried chicken shop will be open until thirty, so they will go home with Lan Xiuming. Lan''s house, Lan Dazhuang drove a tractor to the county town, and brought his younger sister and his wife back home together. Although Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu were already married, due to Tang Chu''s work, the husband and wife got together less and stayed more, and they could stay together during the Chinese New Year holiday. And Lan Shu gave the driver Master Zhang a holiday, so she wanted to go home during the Chinese New Year, but she didn''t have a car, so she had to rely on her elder brother to pick her up. Actually, Lan Shu knows how to drive, but she doesn''t have a license, so she let the car sit idle during the Chinese New Year. Even if you drive in county towns and villages, especially during the Chinese New Year, no one cares, and it doesn¡¯t matter whether you need a license or not. But Lan Shu herself is a good law-abiding citizen, so she can''t do driving without a license! But with the experience and lessons learned this time, Lan Shu plans to take the driver''s license test in the next year. There is no official driver''s license to take the exam. As long as you prove that you can drive, you can apply for a learner driver''s or trainee driver''s certificate, and you can get the relevant driving certificate in a few days. The tractor was parked in front of the house. When they got home, Lan Shu put her carry-on luggage into the room, then greeted the third brother directly, and drove the tractor together to go to the market in the nearby street. New Year''s Eve, the last day the market opened on the street, and it was quite lively. As for her big brother... Lan Shu can understand that the elder brother and his daughter-in-law have not seen each other for a long time, and they are finally together and need time alone. That''s why she called Lan Sibo, saving her third brother from being a light bulb at home! Now Lan Sibo is quite familiar with the technology of driving tractors. The street market is not far from the village. It usually takes more than an hour to walk, but it only takes more than 20 minutes to drive a tractor. My parents are still running a shop in Linjiang City, so they are too busy to buy new year''s goods, so Lan Shu told the third brother that this year, the two of them will shoulder the burden of buying new year''s goods for the family! The two bought meat and pork ribs at the pork stall under the big tree on the street, and went to other stalls to buy melon seeds, peanuts, rice sticks, brown sugar, rock sugar, white sugar, and a large bag of fruit candy. Lan Shu buys fruit candy, not entirely for the family. There are many children in their village. During the Chinese New Year these days, Lan Shu has to deal with the children, so she prepared the fruit candy in advance. At that time, she only spends a little money, but can make many children''s childhood happier, which is worth it! Lan Shu grew up in an orphanage when she was a child. The living conditions in the orphanage were not very good, and her childhood was rather gloomy. So now, she hopes that the happy childhood she can''t enjoy herself can make other children feel more. Lan Shu found that after she came to this world, she seldom thinks of her former self, but when it comes to Chinese New Year, she still can''t help being sad about her past. Fortunately, the old days are over, and now she has a family and a career. She has a lot, and also has happiness that she didn¡¯t have before¡ª At noon, when returning from the street market, Lan Shu also bought a large piece of beef and two legs of lamb. Usually, there is very little beef and mutton sold in the market, and she can only buy it during the Chinese New Year. With these, their big family should be able to eat a lot for the New Year''s Eve dinner tonight! (end of this chapter) Chapter 301: Red envelope Chapter 301 Red Envelope Today is New Year''s Eve. In the afternoon, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang finished their fried chicken shop business early, and went back to their hometown with Lan Xiuming, who was on duty until the last day. It was already past four o''clock in the afternoon when the three of them arrived home. At this time, in the courtyard of the Lan family, buns and steamed buns were steaming on the open-air stove, and croquettes and stewed meat were in the kitchen. In addition, clean up the two lamb legs, marinate the thigh meat, wait for the barbecue at night, kick off the bones and store them, and get up tomorrow morning to cook bone soup to warm the stomach. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang did not expect that their home would be so well prepared when they were away. Of course, Lan Shu is in charge of buying, buying, and directing, and the two brothers Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo are the main ones doing the work. The two big men understood the kitchen thing, and they didn''t even give the new daughter-in-law Tang Chu who married into the Lan family a chance to show off! In the evening, a family of seven gathered around the dining table. In front of them was a large pot of stew, surrounded by four bowls, two plates of roasted lamb legs, and a fried chicken sold in their own store. There are also radishes and cabbage, which are all side dishes in the stew pot, and the amount is not much. These things are enough for a family to eat well. In addition to food, Lan Shu also prepared something to drink. When eating meat, each person has a cup of sour plum soup in front of them, which is delicious and relieves greasy. The ebony plum and hawthorn are preserved fruits that Lan Shu brought back from Kyoto. They are boiled with rock sugar, and the taste is not bad. After dinner, there was no entertainment at home, and it was quite cold outside, so everyone went back to their rooms. After arriving at the house, Lan Shu had time to check the news on the pager. Up to ten messages can be kept on the pager, so Lan Shu reads them from the back to the front. ¡ª¡®Lan Shu, have you eaten yet? '' ¡ª¡®Our family of three has six dishes and two soups. '' ¡ª¡®Unfortunately, you will not be in Kyoto this year. '' ¡ª¡®It¡¯s snowing in Kyoto again. '' ¡ª¡®The courtyard is full of white. '' ¡ª¡®The snow scene is beautiful. '' -''Is it snowing at your place? '' This is the end of the news. After reading it, Lan Shu subconsciously raised her head and looked out the window. The moonlight was bright outside, except for the cold, there was no sign of snow. So Lan Shu used the pager to call the signal station and sent a message to Xiao Bai. "I don''t have snow here," she said. The voice fell, and the hazy moonlight was reflected outside the window, with white catkins floating and falling profusely. "Is it snowing?" Lan Shu was startled, then she put down the pager in her hand, opened the door and walked out of the room. The cold air outside the door instantly poured into the neckline and cuffs, and there was a chill on his face. But the snowflakes in the sky made Lan Shu feel a sense of novelty and joy¡ª This is the second New Year she has spent in this world. During the first Chinese New Year, she came to this world not long ago. Although she has family and friends and some expectations for the future, her sense of belonging is not strong after all. And now, she has been here for more than a year. Looking back on the past, this experience was much deeper than she imagined. "It''s snowing!" In the yard, Lan Sibo also came out of the room at some point. He looked up at the snowflakes fluttering in the sky with a smile on his face. Hearing Lan Sibo''s voice, other members of the family also came out of the room one after another. Lan Xiuming looked at the sky, stretched out his hand, and let the snowflakes fall on his fingertips. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang also stood together, looking at Luoxue. "Auspicious snow heralds a good year~" Lan Shengli said with emotion. Besides, Chang Chunfang took the words, "I hope our life will get better and better next year~" Beside the two of them, Lan Dazhuang also led Tang Chu out of the room. Looking at the snow falling from the sky, Lan Dazhuang said with emotion, "I hope there will be a good harvest in the field next year." ¡­ Because of the snow, Lan Shu sent Xiao Bai another message that night. -''Snowing. '' Xiaobai might be busy there, so Lan Shu didn''t get a reply immediately. Just waited until twelve o''clock, when the new year came, Lan Shu, who was already sleeping soundly in bed, vaguely heard the sound of the pager in the room. That''s a newly received message. A message from Xiaobai from Kyoto. ¡ª¡®Lan Shu, happy new year. '' At this time, Xiao Bai, who was far away in Kyoto, was sitting in front of the window sill of his room. Even though it was already late at night, he did not fall asleep. Xiao Bai looked at the bright moon in the night and thought, in the new year, he should be the first person to say happy new year to Lan Shu, right? ¡­ The next day, New Year''s Day. On the first day of the new year, Lan Shu didn''t sleep in, and got up just after eight o''clock. Putting on a thick cotton coat, Lan Shu first flipped through the messages on the pager, and saw the sentence from Xiao Baifa, ''Happy New Year. ¡¯ She smiled slightly, and then opened the door and walked out of the room. At this time, except for her, everyone else in the family had already eaten, and there was lamb leg soup in the pot. Lan Shu ate two big meat buns with the soup to fill her stomach. In the new year, on this day, every household does not have to work. Even Lan Dazhuang didn''t go up to the mountain to work. He added enough food to the free-range chicken farm the day before. Not long after Lan Shu finished her meal, she saw her parents coming back from outside. Seeing that she woke up, Chang Chunfang immediately took out a red envelope from her bosom and stuffed it into her hand. "Shu Shu, Happy New Year." Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang said, and then outside the door, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming also came back from outside one after another. When the two saw the little girl, they each stuffed a red envelope into Lan Shu''s hand as in previous years. "Little sister, happy new year." On this day, Lan Sibo will naturally have a lot of red envelopes. Although Lan Shu runs a factory and does business and earns the most money in the family, in the eyes of her parents and brothers, she is always the youngest child in the family, making them want to love her little sister. Besides Lan Shu, the only other person in the family who can receive a red envelope for the New Year is Tang Chu who just married into the Lan family this year. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang treated each other equally, and gave their daughter 500 yuan as lucky money, and their daughter-in-law also paid 500 yuan. When giving out the red envelopes, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were still a little bit surprised. A few months ago, where would they have so much money for red envelopes? If Shushu hadn¡¯t given them the idea to make them decide to leave the village and do business, they wouldn¡¯t have made so much money. Although working outside is more tiring than working in the village, they never experience the joy of making money when they are at home. So now that they have money, they have the confidence to wrap a big red envelope for their children and daughter-in-law during the Chinese New Year. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, she received a red envelope of 500 yuan from the second elder during the Chinese New Year. As a new daughter-in-law, she was really surprised. With so much money, she was a little flustered in her hands, with a lot of worries in her heart, and even wondered if her parents gave it wrong? Fortunately, there is Lan Dazhuang beside him. Although Lan Dazhuang was big and thick, he was very careful with his wife. He saw that she was emotionally unstable. Lan Dazhuang reached out to hold his daughter-in-law''s hand, and said softly beside her, "Take what my parents gave you. Let''s go." I wish you all a happy new year~ In the new year, I hope that the little cuties can continue to support and vote more~ Just a preview, there will be a big update next month~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 302: To strive for ah ~! Chapter 302 Be up to date~! Lan Dazhuang knew that his parents made a lot of money after going to the city and came back. Now it is their parents'' wish to wrap a big red envelope for his daughter-in-law. If you don¡¯t accept it, your parents will be unhappy instead. Besides, Lan Dazhuang will donate the money back sooner or later. Tang Chu nodded reassuringly when he heard what his man said. At the same time, she once again felt that she was able to marry into the Lan family. It was really a lucky thing to meet such a family. ¡­ Take annual leave, and usually take a break until the sixth day of the month to go to work. Tang Chu planned to stay at Lan''s house until the afternoon of the fifth day before returning to Qingyang County. Lan Shu left Tianshui Village on the fourth day of junior high school. Sitting in the car, Lan Shu looked apologetically at the driver in front of him. "I''m sorry, Master Zhang, for making you start work so early." Master Zhang¡¯s annual leave is two days less due to her personal reasons. Front, Master Zhang was flattered to hear the apology from the factory director. "Director Lan, don''t say that. I''m a driver, so the boss must be on call. This kind of work should be done." Although the driver''s work does require flexibility in terms of time, Lan Shu will not let people work overtime for nothing. So she said to Master Zhang, "We pay overtime pay for overtime work in our factory. During the Chinese New Year, the overtime pay is tripled. I will ask Secretary Tang to write it down for you and pay it together with next month''s salary." Hearing what Director Lan said, Master Zhang felt that a good thing happened to him! What is this called? By the way, pie in the sky! So even if he went to work early, Master Zhang felt very happy! ¡­ On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, I set off from Tianshui Village in the morning, and arrived in Kyoto by car at four or five o''clock in the afternoon. Tomorrow, on the fifth day of the new day, it is not time to go to work at the cosmetics company, and Lan Shu came to Kyoto this time ahead of schedule because of other matters. She still remembered that the sixth day was Xiaobai''s birthday. A few months ago, she promised Xiaobai that she would celebrate his birthday this year to make up for the regrets of last year. Although several months have passed, Lan Shu still remembers it clearly. Arrived in Kyoto, after Lan Shu returned to her residence, she asked the driver, Master Zhang, to go back and have a good rest. Tomorrow she will use the car and go out to buy some things for her birthday. Lan Shu came to the capital, she didn''t tell her parents, and she didn''t tell Xiaobai, she was going to give Xiaobai a surprise when the time came. After resting all night, the next day, Master Zhang came to Lan Shu''s residence to pick her up on time at 8:30. When she was in Kyoto, Lan Shu always arranged for Master Zhang to live in the best guest house near Chang''an Road. Therefore, Master Zhang had a good rest, cleaned up his exhaustion all night, and started the next day''s work energetically. According to Lan Shu''s request, Master Zhang first drove to the mall and asked Lan Shu to choose a gift. Later, Lan Shu ordered a cake at a famous cake shop in Kyoto. In order to decide on the style of the cake, Lan Shu sat in the cake shop, drew the picture for an hour, and communicated with the cake maker for almost an hour before finally finalizing the shape of the cake. Prepare everything, and wait for Xiaobai''s birthday tomorrow. ¡­ In the evening, it began to snow again in Kyoto. It was cold, the temperature was low, and the roads were icy. Fortunately, there was not so much snow on the road when Lan Shu came here on the fourth day of junior high school, otherwise the road would be difficult to walk. Kyoto, the Gu family. Xiao Bai looked at the falling snow outside the window and sighed deeply. Tomorrow is his birthday, but until now, he has not received the news that Lan Shu is coming to the capital. Maybe Lan Shu has forgotten his birthday? Xiao Bai felt a little lost. And at this time, he didn''t want to intentionally remind Lan Shu that tomorrow is his birthday. He would rather not have a birthday like that! It was very late, but Xiao Bai didn''t feel sleepy at all. Fortunately, at twelve o''clock, his pager rang. Then a message was received¡ª ¡ª¡®Xiaobai, happy birthday. '' Lan Shu was able to send out this message in the early morning, which made Xiao Bai depressed all day, and at this moment, the clouds opened up in an instant. Even if Lan Shu can''t come to Kyoto for the New Year this year, it doesn''t matter if she can''t be by his side to celebrate his birthday. But what Xiaobai didn''t expect was that the next morning, a black Santana drove into the compound and stopped in front of his house. Then Lan Shu walked in carrying a big cake box. Xiaobai only found out at this time that his parents already knew about Lanshu''s visit today and only kept it a secret from him! "Happy birthday, Xiaobai." On the day of the sixth birthday, Lan Shu appeared in front of Xiaobai and said happy birthday to him personally. Behind Xiaobai, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang came out of the room one after another, and were about to reach out to take the cake from Lan Shu''s hand, but Xiaobai took a step ahead¡ª "I''ll get it." Xiao Bai said. This is a cake that Lan Shu specially bought for him, and he wants to take it to the house with his own hands. At noon, at Gu''s house, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo prepared some ingredients, and Lan Shu cooked the food herself, making Xiaobai''s favorite food. Looking at the large table of dishes on the table in front of him, Xiao Bai realized that this seemed to be the first time he had dinner with Lan Shu, and he didn''t enter the kitchen. Is this the birthday treat? However, today, his birthday treatment is more than that. Before eating, cut the cake. Xiaobai just needs to sit down, Lan Shu and Wei Qiushuang work together to take the cake out of the box and put it on the table. At this time, Xiaobai saw the difference of this cake! Most of the cakes in cake shops nowadays are covered with a layer of white cream, with a few brightly colored flowers on top, and happy birthday written on it. But the one in front of me is painted with balloons and colorful flags on the white cream cake. In addition to writing happy birthday, some floating balloons also have words such as health, happiness, satisfaction, happiness, and a promising future. The entire cake looks like Lan Shu''s blessings for herself! Xiao Bai looked up at Lan Shu, feeling warm in his heart. In addition to the cake, Lan Shu also prepared a gift for Xiao Bai. is a set of clothes, from coats, pants, to sweaters. As for the size of Xiaobai''s clothes, Lan Shu is very clear. So before eating, Xiaobai went upstairs to change into new clothes. Wearing the clothes that Lan Shu bought for him, eating the cake that Lan Shu gave him, and the meals that Lan Shu cooked for him, Xiao Bai''s heart was never touched before. Even Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo, who were on the side, saw that someone was so kind to their son, and they were also grateful in their hearts. They thank Lan Shu from the bottom of their hearts for being able to treat their son so purely. Even their parents did not treat their son with such care. At this moment, Wei Qiushuang suddenly felt that it would be great if Lan Shu could marry into their family~! I don¡¯t know if their son has the ability to make Lan Shu like him... Gu Anguo also likes Lan Shu very much, and hopes that she can be his daughter-in-law. He looked at Gu Jue, with high hopes in his eyes¡ª''Son, let''s live up to it~! '' (end of this chapter) Chapter 303: Willing to get married? Chapter 303 Willing to get married? After lunch, Lan Shu left Gu''s house in no hurry. Today is Xiaobai''s birthday, and they haven''t seen each other for a while, sitting together, they have a lot to talk about. Besides Xiaobai, Wei Qiushuang also wanted to chat with Miss Lanshu. Although Gu Anguo also has something to say, he is a big man who doesn''t want to get too close to a little girl, so he went upstairs after sitting downstairs for a while to make room for the people downstairs to chat. In the living room downstairs, Wei Qiushuang communicated enthusiastically with Lan Shu. "I heard from Gu Jue that you are holding several jobs now, and your work is relatively busy. You should also pay attention to rest." "If you have time, come and sit at home more often. Although my son didn''t say anything, I, as a mother, know that he very much hopes that you will come to visit us often." Wei Qiushuang unabashedly expressed her liking for Lan Shu, which made Lan Shu uncomfortable. But out of politeness, she nodded and replied, "Thank you Mrs. Wei for your concern, I..." "What''s your name, Mrs. Wei, just call me Aunt Wei." Wei Qiushuang interrupted Lan Shu. In the past, the little girl called herself Mrs. Wei, and she was polite and courteous. This kind of knowing attitude put Wei Qiushuang in a good mood. But now, she is actively wanting to get closer to the little girl, so the phrase "Aunt Wei" is what she asked for. Seeing that Mrs. Wei really wanted to get close to her, Lan Shu didn''t refuse, and called out kindly, "Aunt Wei." Hearing this address, Wei Qiushuang was in a good mood. She smiled and nodded, "That''s right, come and sit at home when you have free time in the future, don''t be restrained." Besides, Xiaobai listened to his mother''s words, and he took a serious look at his mother. His mother has paved the way for him today, and he has to say something that has been pressed in his heart! It is said that mother and child are connected. At this moment, maybe Wei Qiushuang really felt that her son seemed to be about to do something important. She found a proper reason and went upstairs to ask her husband to go out together. Leaving his son and Lan Shu alone at home. As soon as the husband and wife left, the Gu family was quiet, and the atmosphere in the living room became a little more delicate. "Lan Shu." Sitting on the side of the sofa, Xiao Bai softly called Lan Shu. Lan Shu looked up at Xiao Bai, and saw Xiao Bai smiled slightly, and said softly, "I''m eighteen." Listening to Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback, for a moment she hadn''t guessed Xiao Bai''s intentions. Hearing Xiaobai tell her age, she subconsciously replied, "Well, happy birthday." Hearing this, Xiao Bai was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Lan Shu, and said in a serious tone, "Lan Shu, from today onwards, I will be an adult, and I can be responsible for my own actions." The voice paused, and Xiaobai continued, "So after becoming an adult, the first thing I want to do is to formally pursue you! From today onwards, I will no longer be your little brother, I just want to be you man." Listening to Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu was completely stunned! She suddenly thought of the content of the chat between her third brother and Xiao Bai when she returned to the capital with Xiao Bai and third brother during the summer vacation. Because she said casually that Xiaobai was underage at the time, so now Xiaobai solemnly said these words in front of her after he turned eighteen? It''s not that Xiaobai didn''t say that he likes herself before, but at that time, in Lan Shu''s eyes, Xiaobai was really a child who didn''t grow up. But now, as he said, at eighteen, he''s grown up, he''s responsible for what he did¡ª So Lan Shu can also ask Xiaobai with an equal attitude. "You want to pursue me because you like me? Then what do you like about me?" Xiaobai didn''t expect Lan Shu to ask him about liking so calmly. For this question, Xiaobai didn''t hesitate at all, and answered from the bottom of his heart, "I like you, everything about you. Except for you, I never thought that I would get along with other women." Hearing Xiaobai''s reply, Lan Shu was stunned. Her originally rational heart, at this moment, unexpectedly had a somewhat uncontrollable heartbeat, and the emotions influenced by Xiaobai almost became emotional... Lan Shu took a deep breath, then looked at Xiaobai, solemnly and cautiously, "Xiaobai, the reason why you have such an idea may be because I am the only person of the opposite **** that you have had a lot of contact with, and you will see more in the future woman..." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai frowned irritablely¡ª He wasn''t upset about Lanshu, but because he was still too young! If you are so small, Lan Shu will feel unreliable, even full of doubts. But even though he is not an advantage in age, Xiaobai still has to let Lan Shu know what is on his mind. "Lan Shu, no matter who I meet, I only like you." He said seriously, staring into Lan Shu''s eyes, just wanting to convey his heart. "I''ve made it very clear. I want to marry you. We will accompany each other for the rest of our lives." After finishing speaking, Xiaobai did not forget to add, "Never leave." He knew that Lan Shu had divorced another man, and he had also heard Lan Shu say about her attitude towards men. If she doesn''t like it, there is no need to be together again. He will work hard to make himself worthy of Lan Shu, so he hopes that he can be by Lan Shu''s side and not be abandoned by her. The phrase "never leave and never give up" is actually not his promise to Lan Shu, but a promise he wants to get from Lan Shu... "For the rest of my life, I will accompany each other and never leave?" Lan Shu was still in a firm mood, but because of this sentence, she couldn''t help but start to waver again. She already had a good impression of Xiaobai, and it could even be said that she had a good impression of him, but considering Xiaobai''s age, she couldn''t ''do anything''. So slowly, she began to restrain her mind, and devoted her sister and brother''s affection to Xiaobai. But now, because of Xiaobai''s serious and persistent words, her mood has returned to the beginning. Xiaobai looks good, has a good figure, has a pleasing personality, cares about himself, and takes care of himself. Most importantly, he is still young! Such an adult legal little brother pursues him, does he really need to hesitate? Lan Shu took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Bai again, "Have you figured it out?" These words seemed to give Xiaobai infinite hope. He looked at Lan Shu in surprise, and then nodded quickly. "Are you willing to marry me?" While speaking, Xiao Bai''s eyes were full of expectation. "Getting married..." Lan Shu was just ready to accept Xiaobai and start a relationship with Xiaobai, but Xiaobai wanted to get married wholeheartedly. "You are only eighteen, and you will have a great youth in the future, so you really don''t think much about it?" Xiaobai''s resoluteness made Lan Shu unable to help but want to persuade him. (end of this chapter) Chapter 304: Agreed? Chapter 304 agree? "I''ve thought it through very clearly." Xiaobai looked at Lan Shu seriously, hoping that Lan Shu could understand that he really thought it over! "I know that getting married is not a trivial matter, it needs the consent of both families. On my side, my parents hope that we can be together, and your family..." Xiao Bai lowered his head, thought for a while, then raised his head to meet Lan Shu''s gaze, and continued. "Uncle Lan and Aunt Chunfang have a good impression of me. As for your biological parents in Kyoto, I will try my best to make them accept me!" Xiaobai considered that Gu Cheng''s abandonment of Lan Xinya, the adopted daughter of the Lan family, would definitely make the parents of the Lan family have opinions on their Gu family. So now it should not be so easy for me to marry the daughter of the Lan family. Fortunately, he had been to Lan''s house several times before, and Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had a good impression of him. Maybe they would not refuse his marriage with Lan Shu? Xiao Bai has already made up his mind, even if he is rejected, he will try his best to let Lan Shu''s biological parents know his sincerity for Lan Shu, and ask them to agree to the marriage between him and Lan Shu. Aside, Lan Shu really didn''t think that besides marrying herself, Xiao Bai wanted to settle her parents'' affairs. What surprised Lan Shu the most was that Xiao Bai actually said that his parents had no objection to their marriage? ! Xiaobai is only eighteen years old today, right? So when did his parents agree and hope that their underage baby son could be with him, a divorced woman who was two or three years older than Xiaobai? Lan Shu suddenly felt that she couldn''t understand Xiaobai''s parents. The two of you really have big hearts! If my son were to marry a daughter-in-law, he would definitely not agree so easily. At least he had to understand his son''s partner thoroughly before making a judgment on whether his son and the other party were suitable. But now, all the inspection steps are omitted in front of Xiaobai''s parents¡ª On the opposite side, Xiao Bai, who was expressing his sincerity, noticed Lan Shu''s distracted state. He got up and left his seat, took two steps forward, and sat down beside Lan Shu, who was half a person away from Lan Shu. Then Xiao Bai looked at Lan Shu and asked solemnly, "Lan Shu, will you marry me?" Lan Shu: ¡­ Xiaobai really doesn''t care about his own early marriage...? Originally, Lan Shu hadn''t thought about getting married yet, but seeing Xiao Bai''s attitude now, she could feel that in this era, love that doesn''t aim at marriage is just a hooligan idea! So if I say I don¡¯t want to get married, I just want to fall in love first, in fact, in Xiaobai¡¯s mind, I¡¯m just playing hooligans, right~! ? Lan Shu took a deep breath, met Shang Xiaobai''s eyes, "Are you sure you want to marry me, don''t think about it, and won''t regret it?" It was Xiaobai who answered Lan Shu, frowning and shaking her head, "Lan Shu, I like you and want to marry you." With these words, what else can Lan Shu hesitate? "Then make an appointment and let us two elders meet." Only after meeting, can they continue to talk about marriage. ¡­ Xiaobai is absolutely unambiguous about his marriage. How can he wait for a heart that wants to get married? He is quite looking forward to getting married. So, after celebrating his birthday on the sixth day of the sixth day, and when Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan got off work on the evening of the seventh day, he saw Xiao Bai who came to propose marriage with a gift. Lan Weicheng:? ? ? Xu Shan:¡­ The young master of the Gu family wants to marry their daughter, so the Gu family doesn''t care? Also, will Mrs. Wei agree? Regarding these situations, Xiaobai immediately explained the situation in his family after Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan couple showed surprise expressions. "Uncle Lan, Aunt Xu, I want to marry Lan Shu. My parents are very supportive, and Lan Shu also agreed to marry me." Speaking of this news, Xiao Bai couldn''t help but straighten his back even more. It was his eighteenth birthday yesterday, and it was a big dream come true! After hearing Xiaobai''s words, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were really shocked! "Both Mr. Gu and Mrs. Wei agreed?" Lan Weicheng was a little stunned. The Gu family knew that their family, Shushu, had been married and divorced before, and Shushu was a few years older than Gu Jue. Under such circumstances, the Gu family would agree to their marriage, which is incredible! Xu Shan was also very surprised, but at the same time, she was happy for her daughter that she was willing to take this step of marriage! For Gu Jue, Xu Shan could see that Gu Jue was very kind to her family in the few times they met and got along, so Xu Shan agreed to this matter. Seeing her husband next to her, she was still a little hesitant, so Xu Shan bumped Lan Weicheng''s arm with her elbow, and then gave Lan Weicheng a reminding look. Feeling his wife''s attitude, Lan Weicheng finally made a decision in his heart. He looked at Gu Jue and solemnly said, "I hope you can treat our family well." "Uncle Lan, don''t worry, as long as I''m still here, I will always treat Lan Shu well." With Xiaobai''s sincerity and guarantee, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan agreed to the marriage. At this moment, at the stairs on the second floor of Lan''s house, Lan Xinya listened to the conversation between the young master of Gu''s family and her parents downstairs, she was so shocked that she couldn''t believe it! How could the Gu family agree to Gu Jue marrying Lan Shu? The Gu family doesn''t care at all if Lan Shu has ever married or divorced another man? Besides that, Lan Xinya is also envious and jealous that Lan Shu can not be rejected and can marry into the Gu family. She even thought that when Lan Dazhuang got married last year, her mother publicly said that she would give Lan Shu 50,000 yuan as a dowry. Lan Shu probably married Gu Jue just to get money, right? Too many doubts and disbelief lingered in Lan Xinya''s heart, and finally Lan Xinya found out that Lan Shu was about to marry herself first. And marry into a family like the Gu family! In addition, parents will also give Lan Shu a dowry of 50,000 yuan! Lan Xinya was even thinking, after her parents gave Lan Shu 50,000 yuan, how much money would the family have left? When I get married, how much money can my parents take out for me as a dowry? All of this made Lan Xinya upset, and even had a tendency to lose control of her emotions. Although Lan Xinya knows that she is not her parents'' biological daughter, she has lived in this family for twenty years. In her heart, this is her home! And both parents have said that they will treat themselves as their own daughters. Therefore, Lan Xinya is unwilling to be less than Lan Shu or worse than Lan Shu when it comes to the family''s money and her future dowry! Although she had many thoughts in her mind, because of the presence of outsiders at this time, Lan Xinya knew how to take care of her parents'' face, so she didn''t go downstairs. After Gu Jue, who came downstairs to propose a marriage, left, Lan Xinya deliberately walked downstairs with heavy steps. (end of this chapter) Chapter 305: How much money do you have at home? Chapter 305 How much money does the family have? ''Da, da, da,'' the sound of footsteps going downstairs caught the attention of Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan. The two looked up towards the stairs, and saw Lan Xinya going downstairs with a complicated expression. At this moment, the husband and wife knew that Xinya had heard what they said downstairs¡ª Lan Weicheng didn''t think there was anything wrong with this, but Xu Shan''s expression was a little unnatural. However, Xu Shan didn''t take the initiative to bring up the marriage with the Gu family. She just asked her adoptive daughter calmly, "Xinya, what do you want to eat later? Mom will make it for you." Xu Shan knew that her adopted daughter was in a bad mood, so she asked this question on purpose. She will take care of Xinya more in her daily life, so that Xinya can live as comfortably as possible. But Xu Shan didn''t mention it, but Lan Xinya didn''t miss it. "Dad, Mom, the Gu family treated me like that a year ago, do we still have a relationship with their family now?" Bringing this matter up, Lan Xinya was actually not that angry and didn''t mind it anymore, but she just wanted to use this reason to make her parents feel guilty about herself. Sure enough, after hearing her words, Lan Weicheng realized the situation. But he didn''t take Lan Xinya''s mind seriously. "Xin Ya, the person who sorry for you in the Gu family is Gu Cheng, and it has nothing to do with his parents. Back then, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Wei came to the house to apologize to you. This matter is over." "But I don''t have the past in my heart~!" Lan Xinya waited for Lan Weicheng to finish speaking, and immediately continued. "Dad, I know that Gu Cheng is sorry for me and has nothing to do with the parents of the Gu family, but I still have a grudge in my heart." "I didn''t say it before because our family has nothing to do with the Gu family, but now, after our family and the Gu family become in-laws, how do you want me to face the people of the Gu family?" "Because of this relationship in the future, I will inevitably meet Gu Cheng. How do you want me to meet?" As Lan Xinya spoke, her voice became a little excited. Because of her words, Lan Weicheng thought that there was such a relationship. Xu Shan on the side was careful, she had thought of this a long time ago, but she didn''t expect Xinya to mind so much. But even if you mind, so what? "Xin Ya, that child Gu Jue is a good boy, and he treats Shu Shu well. Shu Shu and Gu Jue want to be together. We have no reason to disagree, so this matter should be regarded as a debt owed by parents to you." .¡± "If you can''t accept it, then you just don''t show up for anything about the Gu family in the future." This is the only way Xu Shan can think of. After hearing about it, Lan Weicheng also felt that this was a good idea to solve the problem. He looked at his adoptive daughter, "Xinya, when Shushu gets married, when the Lan family comes to our house to pick up the bride, you should go out and avoid it, so that you won''t see Gu Cheng." Lan Xinya didn''t expect her parents to make such an arrangement. "Avoid it? How shameful am I?" Lan Xinya smiled wryly. "The more I avoid it, the more Gu Cheng will look down on me!" she said. "This..." Lan Weicheng was completely at a loss. And Xu Shan looked at Lan Xinya, "Xinya, tell me, what do you want your parents to do? Could it be that because of your concern, Shushu and Gu Jue can''t get married?" Xu Shan was a little angry. It is impossible for her to prevent her daughter from entering into marriage and leading to happiness, so she talks about it, even if the family owes her adoptive daughter in this matter, she will make up for it in the future. But now, Xinya is still not satisfied with what she wants. On the other hand, Xu Shan was thinking, what did they owe Xinya? At the beginning when Xinya said she wanted to get engaged to Gu Cheng, even though they felt that Gu Cheng was too old and Xinya was too old, they were dissatisfied with it, but because Xinya insisted on doing so, they didn''t stop her. Engagement was Xinya''s own choice, but the failure to get engaged in the end was also due to the change in the relationship between Xinya and Gu Cheng. It was Gu Cheng who had a change of heart and Xinya who didn''t know people well. As parents, all they could do was to comfort Xinya and protect Xinya after Xinya was hurt. After the incident happened, they did everything they could, and they also went to Gu''s house to ask for an explanation. Xu Shan thinks that she and her husband owe nothing to their adopted daughter, but now, it seems that as long as they agree to marry their biological daughter to the youngest son of the Gu family, in Xinya''s heart, they owe her! This made Xu Shan feel very uncomfortable. She didn''t understand how things had developed to this point. Aside, Lan Weicheng frowned when he heard what his wife said¡ª "What are you talking about? We have already promised Gu Jue that he will marry Shushu. There is no room for change in this matter anyway!" Lan Weicheng''s attitude is very clear, even if Xinya minds, he will not stop Shushu from getting married because of this. Hearing what Lan Weicheng said, Lan Xinya was slightly taken aback. Although she never thought that she could prevent Lan Shu from marrying into the Gu family, Lan Xinya really didn''t think that her parents really didn''t take her emotions into consideration. She lowered her head, feeling sad in her heart, then Lan Xinya took a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at her adoptive parents. "Dad, Mom, I know, I will avoid..." In the current situation, she can only take a step back and look at her parents'' attitude. Seeing that the adopted daughter can understand them and is willing to let go of her grudges, Lan Weicheng has a good face. "Xinya, it''s good that you are so sensible, don''t worry, your parents know that you have been wronged in this matter, and we will compensate you in other ways in the future." After hearing Lan Weicheng''s words, at this moment, Lan Xinya''s goal has been achieved! She said so much so that the family could compensate herself. Xu Shan on the side frowned slightly, even though the matter was resolved, she was not happy at all. She even felt that this matter shouldn''t have turned out like this! Xu Shan will naturally be kind to the daughter she raised with her own hands, but that is her maternal love for her daughter as a mother, not a debt or compensation. Now what the husband said has completely changed their kindness towards Xinya in the future! Their kindness is no longer the affection of parents to their daughter, but guilt and compensation¡ª Xu Shan felt that this was wrong, and then she heard the voice of her adopted daughter. "Mom, Lan Shu is getting married this time, do you really want to give her 50,000 yuan as a dowry?" Lan Xinya is most worried about this matter. She really wanted to know how much money the family had? After giving Lan Shu 50,000 yuan, how much can he get when he gets married in the future? Regarding this question, without waiting for Xu Shan to answer, Lan Weicheng took the initiative to speak. "Of course, what your mother promised, we will definitely do it!" Lan Weicheng muttered to himself as he spoke. "I didn''t expect Shushu to get married so soon. Fortunately, the business at the counter is good. I have saved some money at home in the past few months. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to get 50,000 yuan..." (end of this chapter) Chapter 306: divorce embarrassment Chapter 306 Divorce ashamed Lan Weicheng spoke in a low voice, but Lan Xinya listened to everything. She heard what her dad said, the family doesn''t seem to have much money? Parents can take out 50,000 yuan, which is the wealth accumulated by the family. After taking it out, there may not be much money left in the family? Lan Xinya doesn''t know much about her family''s business situation, and she doesn''t know the income of the counter, so she doesn''t know how much money the cosmetics counter and tape recorder counter can make selling tapes and walkmans. Even her family invested in a Walkman factory. At the end of the year, Lan Weicheng took more than 300,000 yuan from the Walkman''s dividend. She didn''t know anything about it. And Lan Weicheng didn''t think it was necessary to tell his adopted daughter about it. At this moment, he was just sighing normally, but was misunderstood by Lan Xinya in his heart, and he was dissatisfied! Lan Xinya was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Shan with an aggrieved expression. "Mom, do you and Dad really treat me as their own daughter?" Hearing the adoptive daughter suddenly said this, Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng didn''t know what happened. Why didn''t they treat Xinya as their own daughter? Then, the two heard the reason¡ª "Lanshu is going to get married, and you just want to give her 50,000 yuan as a dowry. The Lan family has so much dowry money to marry their daughter. This matter will definitely reach the ears of many people in Kyoto!" "At that time, many men will even want to pursue me and marry me home, because of the dowry money, and you have already given Lan Shu the family money. How much will I have when I get married?" Speaking of this, Lan Xinya felt aggrieved. "When I get married, the man who married me will find out that he doesn''t have so much dowry after marrying me home. What will he think of me? Maybe he will feel that he has been cheated! So it is not good for me to despise me?" Lan Xinya thought of these very realistic problems, but what she thought of was something that Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had never thought of. The husband and wife were very surprised, especially Lan Weicheng, even though he was not as careful as his wife, now when he heard what his adopted daughter said, he felt something was wrong. "...Xinya, why did you marry a man who wanted your dowry?" "If that man treats you badly and despises you because you don''t have much dowry, then it''s okay not to have such a man!" Xu Shan said with a cold face. Xu Shan really doubts, how could the child she raised have such an idea? Her adopted daughter, just this vision, vision? No matter how bad it is, as long as Xinya is willing to listen to them, their parents will not let their daughter blindly look for that kind of man! As for the dowry mentioned by Lan Xinya, even if Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan originally planned to wait until Xinya gets married, they would be impartial to her and Shushu. But now thinking that the man who married Xinya might be doing it for the dowry, they can''t give that much anymore! Even if they give it, they have to wait until they confirm that the man who married Xinya is sincere to Xinya and doesn''t care about the amount of dowry at all. Wait until the man gets their approval before they give the money away. But Lan Xinya didn''t know her parents'' intentions. She just heard Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan asking why she married such a man in turn, and when Xu Shan said the words ''there is not much dowry'', her heart broke down a little bit! It turns out that mother never thought of giving herself the same dowry as Lan Shu from the very beginning! What did you say to treat yourself as your own daughter? Now it seems that an adopted daughter is different from a biological daughter! So Lan Xinya''s eyes filled with tears on the spot, and her eyes swept over Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng one by one, and then she looked at them with a look of disappointment and pain, and said in a disappointed tone. "Dad, Mom, if I really marry someone, no matter what happens, I won''t get divorced. I can''t afford to lose such a shameful thing as divorce." Although Lan Xinya''s words sounded light, the look in her eyes at the moment, as well as the meaningful words at the end, made Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan immediately think of Lan Shu. Xinya is... alluding to Shushu? Xu Shan was taken aback! Xinya and Shushu are both her daughters. She originally thought that even if the two children''s personalities didn''t match, they wouldn''t fight each other again. But now, in Xinya''s words, the malice towards Shushu is not ordinary! Her adoptive daughter said in front of her face that her biological daughter was ashamed to divorce, how could Xu Shan listen to this? ! "Xinya, you''re going too far!" Xu Shan''s chest heaved up and down angrily, and she couldn''t get up even if she was hanging on her breath. Lan Weicheng also heard the meaning of Lan Xinya''s words. He looked at Lan Xinya and frowned deeply. "Xinya, divorce is not shameful. What is shameful is that she would rather endure hardships than bear them, and swallow all the hardships in her stomach, just to avoid being viewed by the world." When Lan Weicheng said this, he sighed heavily. At this moment, he could suddenly understand the reason why Shushu decided to divorce in the first place. Yeah, if marriage is painful, why torture yourself? Due to the situation Shushu encountered at that time, divorce was the only relief, the best choice for her, right? But now, Shushu''s bravery is unbearable in Xin Ya''s mouth. This made Lan Weicheng unable to agree with Lan Xinya''s words. And Xinya''s disgust for her biological daughter also made Lan Weicheng angry! Opposite, Lan Xinya was also angry. The unfair treatment of her parents made her feel resentful towards her parents in front of her. She looked at Xu Shan, raised her voice and said, "Why did I go too far?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Lan Weicheng again, "I just feel that divorce is shameful! Go outside and ask someone casually to see if they think divorce is a shameful thing?" "Is it because your biological daughter has been divorced, so you can blindfold yourself, don''t look outside, and don''t let others tell the truth?" Lan Xinya was really angry, all the resentment accumulated in her heart was vented at this moment! She no longer cared about speaking out her heart this time, which would make her parents angry and cut off her pocket money. Anyway, she already knows that when she gets married in the future, her parents will not give her much dowry. So why should she be so aggrieved anymore, living in this family with the face of her parents! ? The family of three who used to get along harmoniously, now all the conflicts are gathered together and completely ignited! Both Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng felt that Lan Xinya who was yelling sharply at them made them feel strange and unreasonable. Xu Shan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She almost suppressed her temper, and talked to Lan Xinya in a good voice. "Xinya, no matter what you think about the divorce, you shouldn''t target Shushu." (end of this chapter) Chapter 307: to go Chapter 307 Going away "Both your dad and I feel that Shushu''s choice is not wrong, not because she is our biological daughter, but because she chooses to divorce, so that she can make herself happy and live a good life." "And if Shushu hadn''t divorced back then, she wouldn''t have met Gu Jue now, so there''s nothing wrong with divorce, it''s not ashamed at all, and it''s even the beginning of real happiness." Xu Shan spoke in a serious tone, hoping that her words could be heard by Lan Xinya. It''s a pity that in Lan Xinya''s heart, her parents have long treated her unfairly because she is not her own. How can such parents be respected and respected by her as always? "No matter how much you talk, you are all just trying to protect your own daughter~!" Lan Xinya said in a deep voice. She raised her head, her eyes froze across the faces of Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng one by one, and she spoke word by word. "Dad, Mom, I''m very sad. This family came back from Lanshu, and after you found your own daughter, it is no longer my home..." "I thought I was brought up by you, and I have been by your side for twenty years. Our family relationship has surpassed the blood relationship." "I believe what you said, you will treat me as your own daughter, but what about you? You treat me and Lan Shu differently in everything!" When she said this sentence, Lan Xinya couldn''t stop crying. She fixed her eyes on Lan Weicheng, since she said something, she should make it clear! "During the Chinese New Year last year, Dad, you gave Lan Shu 10,000 lucky money, while I only had 1,000. Can you understand the feeling of being compared?" "Just because I''m not your own, so you ignore me?" Lan Xinya''s words almost came out of her throat. Hearing what his adoptive daughter said, Lan Weicheng was stunned on the spot! He looked at his adopted daughter in disbelief, "Xinya, is that what you think?" Xu Shan on the side couldn''t help crying because of these words. "Xinya, your dad and I suddenly found our biological daughter, because she has not been with us since childhood, and our parents have not fulfilled their responsibility to raise her." "So we want to make amends to our daughter for the lack of us being around her for nineteen years, isn''t that wrong?" What Xu Shan said was what Lan Weicheng thought in his heart. He had discussed the 10,000 yuan New Year''s money with his wife. Lan Weicheng sighed, he really didn''t expect that his compensation to his biological daughter would make Xinya feel bitter in his heart. And Xinya actually kept this matter in her heart for so long, a full year! "Xinya, ask yourself, how much money have we spent on you since you were a child? We only have you as a daughter. We put all our energy and love into you. It is not only measurable by money. .¡± "Last year I gave Shushu 10,000 yuan as a New Year''s Eve money, which seems a lot, but in fact, compared with the money spent on you since you were a child, there is no comparison at all!" Lan Weicheng hopes that Lan Xinya can understand that he is not partiality as Xinya said. If we say who is his preference, in fact, he is more inclined to Xinya. It was Shushu who made the family''s business flourish and made the family earn so much money. And what he gave Shushu was actually very little, only a big brother, which was nothing compared to the benefits Shushu brought to the family. On the contrary, Xinya did not make any contribution to the family since she was a child. Even when she was an adult, they did not require Xinya to make money and be independent. As always, the family will give Xinya pocket money, which is higher than her salary. Lan Weicheng thought that he owed nothing to his adopted daughter. But now he realizes that in Lan Xinya''s heart, he is so unfair! At this moment, Lan Xinya couldn''t listen to Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan''s explanation. What she saw was the inequality between her parents and Lan Shu. New Year''s money is just one of the things. Now that Lan Shu is getting married, her parents give Lan Shu all the money in the family, and they never think about keeping it for themselves. So Lan Xinya is really sad and wronged. "Dad, Mom, I just realized now that I should have left a long time ago. After you found your biological daughter, you no longer need me. At that time, I should have left..." Lan Xinya took a deep look at Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, and then made a gesture to go upstairs. She tested her parents'' feelings for her one last time, and also wanted to see if her parents would change their minds and stop leaving all the family''s money to Lan Shu in order to keep her. But Lan Xinya didn''t expect the result to be different from what she thought. Lan Xinya''s attitude broke Xu Shan''s heart, she was silent, too sad to speak. After Lan Weicheng hesitated for a moment, he didn''t know how many times he sighed today. "Since you want to leave, then go, but don''t be in a hurry, after you have found a house outside and found a job, it will not be too late to move out." Lan Weicheng realized that he was really wrong, blindly coddling and raising the child, it will only make the child develop this kind of ungrateful and selfish appearance. Perhaps Xinya''s departure is not a bad thing. Let her experience life for herself, maybe it can change her temper. When she changes and realizes that she is wrong, she can come back at any time if she wants to come back. Lan Weicheng''s words made Lan Xinya completely disappointed in her parents! Adoptive parents are adoptive parents, after all, they are not relatives! I just hate that her biological parents were born in the countryside, they have no money or power, and they can''t help her a little. Otherwise she wouldn''t have fallen to this point¡ª Lan Xinya swallowed the resentment rising from the bottom of her heart, and strode upstairs without looking back. Since her parents are so cruel, she doesn''t want to spend her life wronged in this family. She doesn''t believe that she can''t live without them? Lan Xinya, who had been in business before, found that doing business is actually not difficult, and it is very profitable. She decided to find a business after she left. What Lan Shu can do, what Dad can do, what Gu Cheng can do, she can definitely do it too! The reason why Lan Xinya is so confident at this time is because she has money. The one thousand yuan that Lan Weicheng gave her to start the business earlier was not taken back. Including the one month she sold cosmetics, she earned more than 300 yuan. More than 1,300 yuan, enough for her to find a business and start again! Waiting for him to do a good job in business and earn more and more money, is he still short of the 200 yuan pocket money that Lan Weicheng gives every month? At this moment, Lan Xinya warned herself in her heart that she must fight for herself! She wants to make a lot of money and impress her adoptive parents! She wants to prove that she is also a business material. And when you have money and ability, do you still worry about not being able to get married? Today''s update is complete~! There will be an update tomorrow night~ It is estimated that there will be more than 10,000 words, and I will try to update as much as possible to see if I can explode. The update is 14,500, which is about seven chapters. Anyway, I will work hard! I hope that the little cuties will vote for the monthly ticket and encourage it~ Recommended tickets and rewards are also needed, thank you for your support~(¤Å£þ3£þ)¤Å¨q¡« (end of this chapter) Chapter 308: style Chapter 308 Style Lan Xinya didn''t stay at Lan''s house for too long, she went out to find a house the next day, came back to pack her things, and moved out two days later. Before leaving, Lan Xinya didn''t take all her belongings away. Her departure was her attitude, but she also left a way out for herself. If one day, she wants to come back, she can use the reason of coming back to get things to meet her parents and find a chance to return to this home. When Lan Xinya had conflicts with her family, she was looking forward to the life outside, and she was looking forward to doing business and making money. Gu family, Xiaobai, accompanied by both parents, got into the family car and set off from Kyoto to Linjiang City, Tianshui Village in Qingyang County. Lan Shu grew up in the Lan family in Tianshui Village. Although she is not the biological daughter of the Lan family in Tianshui Village, Xiao Bai clearly knows how close Lan Shu is to the Lan family. Facing Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, because the Jingdu Lan family and the Gu family almost became in-laws before, the elders were somewhat awkward, so Xiaobai went first by himself to judge the attitude of the Lan family. But for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, he is proposing marriage, so the presence of elders in the family can reflect the formality. Xiaobai has already made up his mind, when he takes Uncle Lan and Aunt Chunfang to Kyoto, he will go to Uncle Lan and Aunt Xu''s house with his parents, and invite them to discuss his marriage with Lanshu. The car drove all day, and the three members of the Gu family stayed at the Qingyang County Guest House for one night. The next morning, they arrived at the Lan''s house in Tianshui Village with the gifts they brought from Kyoto. Xiaobai originally thought that by coming this time, Uncle Lan and Aunt Chunfang would agree to his marriage with Lanshu, but after coming, Xiaobai found out that the old couple of the Lan family were no longer in the village, but went to Linjiang City Open a fried chicken shop to do business. Lan Dazhuang was at home, and when he learned about Xiaobai''s visit, he immediately called his second brother''s hospital and asked him to tell his parents that Xiaobai and his family had come to their house to propose marriage. The fried chicken shop is right next to the hospital. Upon hearing the news, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were caught off guard! "What''s the matter? Xiaobai is going to marry our family Shushu?" Lan Shengli was at a loss when he heard the news from his second son. Chang Chunfang is also incredible! "Xiaobai...Does Shushu agree?" Chang Chunfang was very worried. She has never heard Shushu say that she is interested in Xiaobai! When Xiaobai was first picked up before, Da Zhuang of their family mentioned that Xiaobai would be his son-in-law directly, but Shushu didn''t agree. Later, seeing that the relationship between Shushu and Xiaobai was getting better and better, the two didn''t put their minds on the person they were talking about. So now Xiaobai brought his parents to their house to talk about marriage proposal, what happened? Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang dare not neglect the matter of his family. The two sold out the fried chicken they had made at noon, and stopped cooking in the afternoon, and stored the remaining fried chicken in the newly bought refrigerator at their rented house. Then took the bus and returned to Qingyang County. Before going back, Lan Shengli had contacted the eldest son, and made an appointment with the eldest son, asking him to drive a tractor to the county seat to pick them up back to the village. Arrived at Qingyang County Bus Station, it was not Lan Dazhuang''s tractor that picked up Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, but Xiaobai and driver Feng. Driver Feng is the driver of Xiaobai''s grandfather, who belongs to the Wei family. This time Xiaobai and his parents came to Tianshui Village, and it was Driver Feng who drove the car. Driver Feng is also here to pick him up now. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang saw Xiaobai again this time, and their thoughts and visions were different from before. But most importantly, Lan Shengli asked Xiaobai first, whether Shu Shutong agreed to be with him. After learning about this, the daughter had already agreed, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang looked at Xiaobai again, and they had become amiable, like an old father-in-law and a mother-in-law looking at a son-in-law. "I have long felt that you and our family are destined, and in the end, after going around, we still have to get together." Lan Shengli has a good impression of Xiaobai. When Xiaobai was in their house, he was diligent and gentle. Chang Chunfang also likes a son-in-law like Xiaobai very much. She knows that her daughter likes this kind of handsome boy. With Xiaobai around, there is no comparison to Xu Yunjie! After Shushu and Xiaobai got married, seeing who else in their village was gossiping behind their backs, I felt that it would be hard for her daughter to marry again! In short, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are very satisfied with Xiaobai. I learned that Xiaobai and his parents came this time because they wanted to take them to Kyoto to discuss marriage. Even if Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang opened a shop in the city, they would not want to lose a day of money, but their daughter''s marriage is definitely more important than anything else! Before the car drove to the village, the old couple had already discussed it, packed up their things when they got home, and then set off for Kyoto! Just like that, on the 13th day of the first lunar month, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto again! It has been more than a year since they came to Kyoto last time. Before, it was because of the engagement of the biological daughter, but now it is because of the discussion about the marriage of the adopted daughter. After arriving in Kyoto, Xiaobai originally wanted to arrange Uncle Lan and Aunt Chunfang to live in a guest house in Kyoto. But after Lan Shu finished her work at the TV station, she learned that her adoptive parents had been taken to Kyoto by Xiaobai, so she immediately asked Master Zhang to drive to pick up her parents who came from afar. She had long wanted her parents to come to Kyoto for a few days and have a look at her home in Kyoto. Unexpectedly, Xiaobai created this opportunity for her! So Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang didn''t need to live in the guest house anymore, and lived directly in their daughter''s mansion. Although the two of them heard from their daughter before, she bought a house in Kyoto. But no one thought that the daughter''s house was bought so magnificently! "This small building is so beautiful! It''s even more beautiful than the landlord''s house!" Chang Chunfang sighed. Lan Shengli grew up in Kyoto when he was a child. Even if he had never been to the mansion on Chang''an Avenue, he had heard of it. This used to be the place where the well-known, big and wealthy people in Kyoto lived. I didn''t expect my daughter to live here now! Chang Chunfang on the side was still amazed at what she saw in front of her eyes. She looked at Lan Shu and asked, "Girl, is this the kind of foreign-style house that rich people lived in during the Republic of China?" After hearing her adoptive mother''s question, Lan Shu raised her head and re-examined her mansion. House, garden, courtyard. "Probably..." she replied. Chang Chunfang opened his mouth in surprise when he heard this! "Good boy, amazing! Who would have thought that my daughter would live in such a house one day? Even if I go back and tell the villagers about this, they probably won''t believe it!" "By the way, before I go back, I will see if I can find a photo studio master to take a photo of me here, so that when I go back, people can believe that my daughter is doing well outside~!" Chang Chunfang said . (end of this chapter) Chapter 309: amazing Chapter 309 Amazing Although Chang Chunfang doesn''t usually ask around in the village, she also knows that since Shushu''s divorce, many people in the village have been talking behind their backs and gossiping about their family. Before Da Zhuang got married, their car was a sedan, which made many people in the village envious for a while! But no one believed that Shu Shu bought the car herself. Now that there is a house as proof, it can¡¯t be allocated by the unit, right? So she finally had a chance to be proud and let the villagers see how capable her daughter is! After hearing Chang Chunfang''s thoughts, Lan Shu naturally wanted to arrange everything. "Mom, if you want to take pictures here, then let''s do it. Besides, you and Dad will go to the photo studio to take a few sets of photos. You two didn''t take pictures when you got married, right? Add it now!" Hearing what her daughter said, Chang Chunfang suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Your dad and I are so old, take pictures again..." "Don''t worry, let''s go to the best photo studio and find the best photographer, and I will definitely take good photos of you!" Lan Shu said softly with a smile on her face. Daughter said so, Chang Chunfang naturally agreed. Indeed, they used to have poor conditions in the village, and they didn''t even take photos when they got married. Now that they have the opportunity, and they have money in their hands, they should think about themselves and take some photos to remember. So the matter of taking pictures was settled like this. On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang took a good day off in Lan Shu''s mansion. On the same day, Xiaobai and his parents officially went to Lan''s house in Kyoto to propose marriage. Regarding the marriage of the two children, Wei Qiushuang proposed that she and her husband would give 10,000 yuan as a bride price. The same thing, in fact, Wei Qiushuang had already said it at Lan''s house in Tianshui Village a few days ago. Because Lan Shu has two families, one is her biological parents and the other is her adoptive parents, so Wei Qiushuang prepared two dowry gifts for her son, each with 10,000 yuan. It''s just that she didn''t tell Lan Weicheng and Lan Shengli about this, lest the two Lan families might have unpleasant thoughts because of their daughter''s gift money. Wei Qiushuang didn''t know how the relationship between the two Lan families was, and her consideration was to prevent problems before they happened. Although the bride price of 10,000 yuan is not too much for Lan Weicheng, he also understands that it is not easy for the Gu family to be able to come up with this money without doing business. But soon, Lan Weicheng heard Mrs. Wei say again, "The bride price is a bride price, and the rest of our family, Gu Jue, has hundreds of thousands. When he and Shu Shu get married, the money will be Shu Shu''s." .¡± Wei Qiushuang spoke with a smile on his face. The fact that the son is rich can be regarded as giving them face. She knew very well that her silly son wanted to give money to Lan Shu, but the little girl refused to accept it! After the two got married, her son gave the money again, which was finally justified, and there was a reason to send it out. After hearing what Mrs. Wei said, Mr. Gu on the side had no objection, and Lan Weicheng realized that the two were serious. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, compared to the 50,000 dowry their family gave their daughter, it¡¯s nothing~! At this moment, Lan Weicheng was even thankful that his family had the money to save his daughter from being too embarrassing when she got married. After the communication about the dowry was completed, at noon on the 15th day of the first lunar month, at the Jingdu Hotel, the Gu family was the host, and Lan Weicheng and Lan Shengli arrived on time with their family members to discuss the marriage between the three families. On this day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning to get dressed. It was rare for her to put on light makeup for herself. It took a long time to match the clothes she was going to wear before she chose a festive maroon design coat. The inside of the woolen coat is made of quilted cotton, which is very warm when worn. The length of the coat reaches an inch above the knees. There is a black leather buckle belt around the waist. On the feet are the black ones I ordered at Li Jiaojiao¡¯s store last month. Tall leather boots. The whole set will not look too dazzling because of the color of the clothes, but delicate and foreign style. After Lan Shu let loose her long curly hair and wore a beret to match her clothes, in the eyes of Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, she looked as good-looking as a fashion model in a pictorial! When she arrived at the Jingdu Hotel by car with her adoptive parents, after getting off the car, she could clearly feel the eyes of many people around her, involuntarily falling on her¡ª This is what it feels like to be in the spotlight! Even Xiaobai was amazed for a moment when he saw her! "Lan Shu, you look so good today." Xiao Bai said sincerely. Lan Shu smiled slightly, "Oh? So I usually don''t look good?" "No! You are usually pretty too!" Xiao Bai was afraid that Lan Shu would be unhappy, so he immediately explained like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Fortunately, Lan Shu is in a good mood today, and she was joking with Xiao Bai, so this matter is over with a smile. Lunch is in the large private room on the second floor of the Kyoto Hotel. The dishes on the table are all the signature dishes here. There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, which are quite rich. A total of eight people from the three families sat at a table, chatting happily while eating. As for Lan Xinya from the Lan family and Gu Cheng from the Gu family not coming? Today''s occasion is really not suitable for them, so the two families tacitly didn''t mention it. After a lively meal, the three families also settled on Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s marriage. It¡¯s already March now, wait until the beginning of May, choose a good day, the three families will have a wedding! ¡­ At the same time, in Jingdu, Lan Xinya, who has left the Lan family and moved out by herself, is looking for business opportunities. The cosmetics supplier she had contacted before said that she would no longer wholesale goods to her, so the opportunity to do cosmetics business again was probably gone. So Lan Xinya is already considering the feasibility of other businesses. ¡­ On the other side, Haicheng. Gu Cheng has already won a piece of land with a good location in Haicheng, and has successfully spent money to clear out several demolished households. The construction officially started today! At noon, in order to celebrate the start of construction, Gu Cheng invited several leaders of the Land Bureau and the contractors of the construction team to have dinner together. The location of the restaurant is in a famous restaurant in Haicheng, which happens to be where Xu Yunjie works part-time. In the private room of the restaurant, Gu Cheng and the others ate and drank, while Xu Yunjie and another employee in the restaurant waiter came in and out to serve the food. The men at the table drank too much, and it was inevitable that some people would go crazy with alcohol. These people are usually people who are praised by others when they go out, and they feel superior. They are not short of money, and some of them are women who post it. At this moment, some people were dazzled by drinking, and when they saw Xu Yunjie who was serving dishes and tea for them in the private room, he had a good-looking appearance. Xu Yunjie has been working in this restaurant for more than half a year, and he has seen all kinds of customers, but this is the first time he has encountered several middle-aged bald men with fat brains and big bellies like this! (end of this chapter) Chapter 310: turn over Chapter 310 Turn over When Xu Yunjie was serving people for dinner just now, he had already learned from the other party''s chat that their identities were unusual. How dare a little person like myself offend him? So Xu Yunjie almost endured his nausea, explaining to the other party that he is not a big girl, but a man. Xu Yunjie''s actions aroused Gu Cheng''s idea. This unremarkable little employee serving dishes in the restaurant has a very flexible temper. Knowing their prominent status, he endured even if he was wronged. He just tried his best to explain and comfort the customers. His behavior is not like a normal person encounters such a situation. His first reaction is to struggle, call for help, or even have conflicts with the guests, so he fights too aggressively! What Gu Cheng needs is this kind of smooth-tempered and tolerant person, who understands winks and knows how to advance and retreat. So he opened his mouth to talk to some drinking buddies who drank too much, and at the same time arranged for the next after-dinner entertainment that they were most interested in at the moment, and took them away with ease up. Before leaving, Gu Cheng glanced at Xu Yunjie, took out a business card from his pocket, held it between his fingers, and stuffed it into Xu Yunjie''s vest pocket. "You''re pretty good. If you''re interested in following me, you can call me." After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng walked out of the hotel. And Xu Yunjie was holding the business card he took out of his pocket blankly, with the words ''General Manager of Chengfeng Real Estate'' written on it¡ª Xu Yunjie knew that he might be on the verge of prosperity! But before he develops, he still has some troubles. A few months ago, Li Xiumei, the daughter-in-law he was forced to marry, was very strict with him. He wanted to leave the hotel restaurant and end this job, he must have Li Xiumei''s consent. So after finishing today''s work and returning to the staff dormitory in the backyard of the restaurant at night, Xu Yunjie immediately told Li Xiumei that he was spotted by a big boss today and had the opportunity to work in a better place. Li Xiumei is doing one thing now, which is to take care of Xu Yunjie and let Xu Yunjie make money to support herself. It is of course a good thing that Xu Yunjie has the opportunity to prosper, but she is also worried that once Xu Yunjie really prospers, will he be able to dump herself one day? So Li Xiumei was hesitant about letting Xu Yunjie change jobs. But since Xu Yunjie was able to contact Li Xiumei at the same time while maintaining his marriage with Lan Shu, he really had that speaking skill. This night, Xu Yunjie''s rhetoric, promises, and vows to make more money for Li Xiumei, finally made Li Xiumei change her mind. "That''s fine, you can try another job, but this time I want to work with you, if you follow the big boss, then I will be a small employee." Li Xiumei demanded. She is a college student herself, with academic qualifications and work experience. It is most suitable for her to find a clerical job. Even though Haicheng has higher requirements for clerk work, since Xu Yunjie can be valued by the big boss, it shouldn''t be too difficult to find a job to say a good word for himself, right? For the sake of his own future, even if Xu Yunjie didn''t know whether he could fulfill Li Xiumei''s request, he still had to give it a try! So the next day, Xu Yunjie used the public phone near the restaurant to contact Gu Cheng. Made an appointment with ''Boss Gu'', and the two met in the afternoon. Gu Cheng could tell yesterday that Xu Yunjie is an ambitious person, a small restaurant employee is definitely not a job he can be satisfied with. So as expected, the other party called today. Standing in Huaming Road, Haicheng, in front of the construction site where Gu Cheng bought the land, Gu Cheng and Xu Yunjie had an in-depth conversation. Knowing that Xu Yunjie turned out to be a college student and used to be a technician in a machinery factory, Gu Cheng was a little surprised. It''s just that college students are better, and those with education and ability will be more comfortable with him. As for Xu Yunjie''s additional request to come to work for him, he hoped to arrange for his wife to work together, and Gu Cheng also readily agreed. His company, whether it is an electrical appliance company or a real estate company, needs manpower. It is just a matter of arranging a position for him. And I heard from Xu Yunjie that his wife also has a diploma and experience in clerical work, so it is not a problem for such a person to be hired by the company. So not long after the new year, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei, who were in Haicheng, ushered in their opportunity to "turn over"¡ª ¡­ The other side, Kyoto. On the third day after meeting Xiaobai''s parents, Lan Shu received 50,000 yuan from her biological parents, saying that the money was her dowry. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang saw this, and immediately said, "When you get married, Shushu, we will also have a dowry for you!" After finishing speaking, Chang Chunfang glanced at Lan Weicheng and his wife, not to be outdone, "Let''s give Shushu...at least 10,000 yuan!" Now that they are rich in business, they have the confidence to increase the dowry to tens of thousands. 10,000 yuan is also Chang Chunfang''s conservative call. Given the current business situation of their fried chicken shop, by the beginning of May, they should be able to save almost 20,000 yuan. At that time, if you have more money, you can add some dowry money to your daughter. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were really surprised when they heard that their cousin¡¯s mouth was 10,000. But soon, the two heard that the cousin and his wife opened a fried chicken shop in Linjiang City, and the business was good, so they were able to save the money. Lan Weicheng was interested in fried chicken restaurants, and asked his cousin Lan Shengli a lot about opening a fried chicken restaurant. Knowing that this restaurant was the idea and recipe given by Shushu, and that it also opened a branch in Qingyang County, Lan Weicheng became more interested in opening a branch of the fried chicken restaurant in Kyoto. Regarding this, Lan Shu did not unconditionally agree to hand over the recipe of the fried chicken shop. She wouldn''t be so serious before, but since Lan Xinya opened the cosmetics counter, Lan Weicheng began to take care of it regardless of gains and losses. Lan Shu and Lan Weicheng have to settle the business. so¡­ "Of course you can open a store if you want to. I have made a plan to open a store in Kyoto or even other cities. When I find a suitable chicken farm supplier here and do a good job in the semi-processing production line in the early stage, Dad If you want to open a fried chicken restaurant, you can come and join us at any time." "Based on our relationship, I only charge half of the franchise fee, but the supply price of semi-finished fried chicken in the later period cannot be reduced because of this relationship. Small business, small profits, small profits but quick turnover~" Lan Shu spoke in a relaxed tone, jokingly. Lan Weicheng didn''t feel angry about his daughter''s words. Business is like this. Anyone who does business wants to make money. You can''t ask her to give unconditionally just because the other party is your daughter. (end of this chapter) Chapter 311: Take shape Chapter 311 begins to take shape It is precisely because the fried chicken restaurant is his daughter''s business, so Lan Weicheng feels that as a father, he needs to support him even more. He nodded, "Na Shushu, I''ll just wait for you to arrange the supply, and I''ll join you when the time comes~!" Seeing Lan Weicheng''s attitude, Lan Shu was very satisfied. She smiled and nodded, "OK." ¡­ Lan Shu has never been ambiguous about making money in business. Her network in Kyoto is not strong, and it is a little difficult to find suppliers for chicken farms. Lan Weicheng¡¯s business is all selling goods over the counter, with no contacts in the chicken farm. However, Lan Shu finally found a chicken farm and got the ideal price. The matter starts with Li Jiaojiao. Li Jiaojiao was shocked when she learned that Lan Shu was going to get married in two months! But when I heard that the person Lan Shu was going to marry was the young master of the Gu family, Li Jiaojiao couldn''t help but think of the handsome young man who attracted attention at the mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Young people who want to invest in cooperation. Thinking of that scene when Lan Shu came to her shop to choose shoes, and then the young master of the Gu family came late and delivered a pager to Lan Shu, and the two of them were tired of sending messages in her shop. Thinking about it, Li Jiaojiao couldn''t help but raise the corners of her mouth. Then she said that she must design the most beautiful shoes for Lan Shu to wear when she gets married! So Lan Shu was called to the store by Li Jiaojiao''s phone call. A master craftsman with ten years of craftsmanship would personally measure the feet, and she would do the design. Seeing Li Jiaojiao, Lan Shu suddenly thought of Li Jiaojiao''s identity¡ªthe daughter of the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. So after she accurately measured the size of her feet and told Li Jiaojiao about her design ideas for wedding shoes, she mentioned to Li Jiaojiao that she wanted to use President Li''s contacts to find out if there were any large wedding shoes near the capital. chicken farm. She wants to find a chicken farm to discuss cooperation. Li Jiaojiao naturally agreed to Lan Shu''s request! That night, when she got home, she told her father about Lan Shu. As President Li''s youngest daughter and the most precious little princess in the family, Li Jiaojiao is naturally responsive to every request! So the next day, Chairman Li called Lan Shu himself, gave her a phone call, and asked her to contact her to talk about the chicken farm. Just like that, because Lan Shu was a client introduced by Chairman Li, the owner of the chicken farm gave her a warm reception and gave her a very favorable price. Lan Shu previously ordered small roosters with a gross weight of about two and a half catties at a chicken farm near Qingyang County, which cost two yuan apiece, but at a chicken farm in Kyoto, the final negotiated price was 1.85 cents. one. With the supply from the chicken farm, Lan Shu only needs to rent a place, hire a few people, and buy a few freezers to open a branch of the fried chicken shop and find franchisees for the supply. As for the large frying pressure cookers and stoves needed to open a fried chicken shop, for Lan Shu, who had already had the idea of ??opening a branch of a fried chicken shop, she ordered several of them from the baker''s shop in Qingyang County early in the morning. A large pressure cooker of the same style. It takes time to make a large pressure cooker, but now there are several pots that have been made. ¡­ At the beginning of April, the branch of the "Old Couple" fried chicken restaurant opened in Kyoto officially opened! This store was opened by Lan Shu herself, and she hired two employees to work in the store. The business of the ''Old Couple'' fried chicken restaurant has been booming since the day it opened! People in Kyoto are spending much more than the county and Linjiang City, so the crispy fried chicken is very popular. At noon and evening, there are people outside the store, and there are long queues to buy. While opening the store, Lan Shu also put up a sign outside the store, expressing the recruitment of franchisees. Seeing that the business in her store is so good, there are some people who want to do the same business as her to make money. The franchise fee is 300 yuan, the pot and stove are 100 yuan, and the fried chicken technique is 100 yuan, a total of 500 yuan. For the stores that are willing to join, she will give them a store signboard, four sets of work clothes for the store staff, and two sets of long-sleeved and short-sleeved. As for marinated semi-finished fried chicken, the store price for wholesale to franchisees is two yuan and eight pieces. After the fried chicken shop is ready, the selling price can reach four yuan, and one fried chicken can earn one yuan and two. Selling 100 fried chickens a day can earn more than 100 yuan. Based on this calculation, the total investment of 500 yuan to open a store is actually nothing. So half a month after Lanshu''s fried chicken restaurant opened, other franchised stores have appeared in Kyoto. The first two branches of fried chicken restaurants opened were opened by Lan Weicheng. He had no doubts about his daughter''s business ability, so he opened two fried chicken restaurants at one time, both of which were located near Huaxia Shopping Mall. Lan Weicheng also considered that the location of the two stores is only one kilometer away. There is a lot of traffic near the Huaxia shopping mall. Because the fried chicken is so delicious, few people in the fried chicken shop can resist the temptation. Therefore, once the shop opens, the business will not be bad. A shop can produce more than one hundred fried chickens at most in one day. This quantity is definitely not enough for the traffic of people near Huasha Shopping Mall, so he opened two shops nearby to satisfy consumers to a greater extent. demand. By the end of April, eight fried chicken franchise stores in Kyoto had opened. There are still eleven stores under renovation, waiting for the delivery of large pressure cookers and matching stoves before they can open. The house that Lan Shu rented near the chicken farm was also changed from a small yard to a medium-sized factory building. The workers who were originally responsible for killing, plucking, cleaning, and pickling chickens have grown from five people at the beginning to more than fifty today. The business of the fried chicken franchise store has grown quite quickly. In just one month, the development has begun to take shape¡ª ¡­ May is about to enter, and the children''s marriage that Lan and Gu''s three families discussed before has finally begun to prepare. Lan Shu''s wedding will be held in Kyoto. The Gu family is going to marry a daughter-in-law, and the only grandson of the Wei family''s old man is getting married. This is a big event! Thus, three days before the wedding, many bigwigs who were in high positions, prominent families, or rich in financial resources received invitations from the Gu family and the Wei family. Knowing that the Wei family has a happy event, these big people who are not often seen in the weekdays have already started preparing gifts and are waiting to attend the wedding. No one would despise Mr. Wei, the only grandson. Although the grandson of the Wei family failed to develop in the army and went to medical school, many people have heard that the grandson of the Wei family is talented in medicine, and even the professors of the medical school praised him. In addition, the grandson of the Wei family also opened an electronic information company. The pager that is widely known today was developed and produced by his company. The status of the Wei family in the military, the position of the Gu family in the political situation, and the development potential of Gu Jue''s company are all worthy of their high regard. (end of this chapter) Chapter 312: take them all Chapter 312 Want all of them On the other hand, while Lan Shu is doing business and developing a fried chicken restaurant, she is also unequivocal about her marriage. The wedding shoes were ordered from Li Jiaojiao. As for the clothes for the wedding, she drew the pictures herself and handed them over to the garment factory for fine cutting. When getting married in this era, most brides wear red, but there are also some weddings where the bride and groom wear suits and white wedding dresses. Lan Shu doesn''t choose the wedding clothes, but wants all of them! She designs Chinese-style Xiuhe clothing for weddings, gorgeous wedding dresses for weddings, and toast clothing for meals. Fortunately, it took more than two months from the time she drew the design to the wedding. At the garment factory, Liu Axing, who has officially become the deputy factory director, is personally responsible for the procurement of fabrics. The red brocade of Xiuhe clothing, the various yarn materials and embroidered lace of the white wedding dress, as well as the brocade and red yarn used in the modern-style Chinese toast clothing, all were found for Director Lan as much as possible. For the pattern-making of clothing, Xie Xiaoju, the head of the cutting department, personally cuts the pattern. In order to make these three sets of wedding dresses, the clothing factory set up a special production team, worked overtime, and finally completed the three sets of dresses within two months! When Lan Shu received these three sets of clothes, she was quite satisfied with the finished product. Xiuhe clothing is exquisitely embroidered, the white wedding dress is gorgeous and grand, and the red toast clothing is full of design sense. Pair it with the three pairs of shoes specially made by Li Jiaojiao for her three sets of clothes, and the three sets of jewelry that Xiaobai specially hired a jewelry designer for her¡ª Lan Shu thinks that the three outfits she prepared for the wedding can be regarded as the ceiling of wedding dresses in the 1980s, right? ¡­ On May 4th, the day of the wedding, the wedding car departed from the compound where the Gu family lived, and went to No. 99 Chang''an Road to meet the bride. Along the way, the scene of eight black cars decorated with flowers lined up in a row, aroused widespread heated discussions among passers-by along the way! "Whose family is getting married, isn''t it too heroic for so many cars to pick up the bride together?!" "Although I don''t know who married, but the other party must be very rich!" "It''s not just rich, it''s amazing to be able to find so many cars~!" "I heard that there is a powerful young female boss in Beijing who is going to get married today, and those luxury cars are probably going to pick her up." "Which female boss? How powerful is it?" Someone who didn''t know asked curiously. "Do you know that plant-based cosmetics company? It''s their boss! And I heard that besides the cosmetics company, she''s also the owner of the hot crispy fried chicken restaurant!" "I know the crispy fried chicken. My wife and daughter love it. For only four yuan, you can eat something better than a big restaurant!" "I love it too, but too many people bought it, and I have to queue for a long time every time. Last time, I waited in line for an hour at the door of the store to buy crispy fried chicken!" "Who doesn''t like delicious food? My daughter-in-law thought it was delicious after eating it once, so she asked me to join the crispy fried chicken restaurant. My store will open on the 15th of this month, just opposite Huamei Shopping Mall. You must come and buy~" "..." On the side of the wedding car, we arrived on Chang''an Road at half past eight. At the same time, Lan Shu was already wearing Xiuhe clothes, putting on makeup, wearing a pure gold step and phoenix crown, and holding gold and jade bracelets, sitting by the bed and waiting. Beside her, Li Jiaojiao is wearing a pink dress as a bridesmaid. The four parents are all downstairs, waiting for their son-in-law to come to their door. Soon, a car lined up with flowers stopped in front of Lan Shu''s house, and Xiao Bai in a black suit got out of the car. Although Xiaobai is only eighteen years old, his height of 187 gives him enough aura to stand out from the crowd. Coupled with his handsome appearance, he attracts attention the moment he appears. After Xiaobai came, there were no barriers or obstacles in the whole process of picking up the marriage, and he met the person he was thinking of smoothly. Xiao Bai, who has not lowered the curvature of his mouth since waking up in the morning, now smiles even brighter. "Lan Shu, good morning." The first sentence that Xiaobai spoke, was like the message that Xiaobai sent to Lanshu every morning with the pager, and he said it himself when he met. Lan Shu was taken aback, then raised her hand and beckoned to Xiao Bai, asking him to come to her side. "Carry me downstairs," she said. Lan Shu''s height is only 1.63 meters, and her weight is controlled to about 100. In front of Xiao Bai, she can definitely be called petite. So, with Xiaobai''s height advantage, he easily carried Lan Shu down the stairs, out of the yard, and into the car. During the whole process, Lan Shu never touched the ground. But Xiao Bai didn''t realize that when Lan Shu was hugged in his arms, her face turned red uncontrollably. It was the first time for her to have such an intimate contact with Xiaobai. This time, her heart beat faster than the previous occasional times, and she was calmer. Although she was held in Xiaobai''s arms, a sentence emerged in Lan Shu''s mind. ¡ªFrom today on, this man will completely belong to her! ¡­ At this moment, when Xiaobai picked up Lan Shu, and a row of wedding cars was heading to Gu''s house, Lan Xinya put on her most expensive dress, and dressed herself up in the hut she rented. Although she was very envious that Lan Shu could marry into the Gu family, she also envied that Lan Shu could be with such an outstanding man as Gu Jue. She didn''t even want to see the scene of the two getting married, but today, she had to attend Lan Shu and Gu Jue''s wedding. Participating in this wedding was not requested by her parents. Her adoptive parents, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, didn''t even mention Lan Shu''s marriage to her. is the news that Lan Xinya found out through her personal connections. Today she is going to the wedding, not to bless the couple, but to take this opportunity to let herself be seen by more people. She knew that at Lan Shu and Gu Jue''s wedding, there would definitely be many famous people in Kyoto with their names and surnames! These people are either rich, powerful, or powerful. As long as she can get to know some of these people, and if she can even catch a ''golden tortoise husband'' from them, then she won''t have to work hard anymore. After leaving Lan''s house, Lan Xinya has been looking for business opportunities for more than two months. She couldn''t do the cosmetics business, and then she tried to do other things. For example, selling tapes, leather shoes, daily necessities, and small commodities. Although she has more than a thousand yuan in her hand, the money is used as the capital of the business, and if she wants to buy goods, she can only buy some cheap goods. Expensive things such as watches and home appliances, she can''t get too many of them. So she started with cheap goods. Under the pressure of the competitiveness of other similar businesses, her business was bleak. Even the money earned in a month, after deducting the counter rental fee and the teller salary, the remaining money is not as good as half of her original work! Update 10,000 characters~ Still in the process of coding, let¡¯s read the rest after waking up~ Remember to vote~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 313: Right-hand man Chapter 313 Right-hand man After two consecutive months, Lan Xinya found that out of the more than 1,300 yuan in her hand, there were only more than 200 yuan left. Although there are still a lot of goods left, even if all these goods are sold out, they will not exceed one thousand and three. Her own expenses for two months, even though it was enough to save money, still cost more than one hundred yuan. If this goes on like this, sooner or later, she will sit back and eat, and there will be nothing left! So in order to make money and even have a better life, Lan Xinya plans to take this opportunity today to find a breakthrough to break the status quo! Because Lan Xinya is not qualified to meet her relatives, the compound where the Gu family is located is not something she can enter if she wants. So she could only arrive at the Kyoto Hotel before noon, and find the banquet hall where Lan Shu and Gu Jue held their wedding. But when she walked out in a beautiful dress, she found that she was no longer suitable for riding a bicycle. When she left Lan''s house, she pushed away the bicycle she used to go to work. Now that she can''t use the bicycle, she had to take a bus nearby to the hotel. So along the way, the scene of Lan Xinya wearing a beautiful dress and long skirt sitting on the bus with her skirt was really eye-catching. Such beautiful clothes are really out of place with the bus... ¡­ On the other side, Gu Cheng, who was busy developing the real estate business in Haicheng before, only learned that his half-brother was getting married three days ago. And the person to marry turned out to be his favorite Lan Shu! Although Gu Cheng always knew that Gu Jue was interested in Lan Shu, he also heard from Lan Xinya that Gu Jue''s confession to Lan Shu was rejected. At the mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce half a year ago, when Gu Jue appeared and left with Lan Shu, although Gu Cheng was worried that Gu Jue would win Lan Shu''s heart before he did. But he didn''t stay by Lan Shu''s side because of this, begging for nothing. In Gu Cheng''s view, making money is more important than women. And when he makes enough money, what woman won''t get it? He thinks that the reason why Lan Shu rejected him is because Lan Shu is also a person in the business field, and her career is no smaller than his own. Gu Cheng was thinking, after he did a business far beyond Lan Shu''s business in the mall, maybe he would have a chance to be in Lan Shu''s eyes. But now, his real estate company is still developing. For the real estate company, he has invested almost half of his net worth in it. Before he can make money, Lan Shu is already getting married! And the one he married was Gu Jue, whom he couldn''t tolerate the most! For Gu Jue, Gu Cheng has been jealous and resentful since he was a child. More than a year ago, Gu Jue, who was supposed to disappear completely, reappeared. Although Gu Cheng didn''t wait to see Gu Jue come back, but because Gu Jue had disappeared once, he was prepared. In addition, he has never had a good chance to make Gu Jue disappear, so this matter has come to a standstill. Gu Cheng never expected that his negligence would give Gu Jue a chance to marry Lan Shu! After getting the news, Gu Cheng immediately arranged his affairs in Haicheng Electric Appliance Company and Real Estate Company, and then took the driver and assistant with him, and drove from Haicheng to Kyoto¡ª The journey from Haicheng to Kyoto is relatively long. Even if you drive without sleep, it will take about thirteen or four hours. For the sake of safety, they stayed halfway for one night. When Gu Cheng returned to the capital, it was already the day of his younger brother Gu Jue''s wedding! All the way back, Gu Cheng was thinking about one thing, Gu Jue and Lan Shu got married, what would he do? To stop the wedding and **** Lan Shu? Or watching two people get married and come together? Even if Gu Cheng wanted to **** Lan Shu away in countless moments, his reason told him that his parents would never allow him to do that. Besides, with Mr. Wei around, he didn''t dare to act like that. And even if he wanted to **** it, Lan Shu would not go with him. Under various reasons, Gu Cheng found that even if he went back, all he could do was attend the wedding and watch Lan Shu and Gu Jue get married¡ª But even so, Gu Cheng will go. He has to see it with his own eyes, and let himself remember this lesson! He also wanted Lan Shu to take one last look at him before the wedding. So the first thing he did after he came back was to take a shower, change into a set of clean clothes, clean himself up and head to the wedding venue. ¡­ When Gu Cheng came back this time, he brought with him the right-hand man he had found in Haicheng. Xu Yunjie has been with Boss Gu for more than two months. In the past two months, he put away his previous arrogance, used the flattery he learned in the restaurant, followed Boss Gu with his head bowed and his eyes full of emotions, and gradually became more and more important to Boss Gu. Nowadays, he reports to the boss about all the construction docking matters of the real estate company. At work, he has become an indispensable assistant in front of the boss, so this time the boss is on a business trip to Kyoto, and he also takes him with him. Xu Yunjie was able to leave Haicheng and go to Kyoto. For him, he could finally breathe. When he was in Haicheng, he was busy with work during the day and served Li Xiumei when he returned home at night. This trip to Kyoto on business, originally Li Xiumei did not agree at all, for fear that he would not go back once he left. It was Xu Yunjie who talked so much that he even made Li Xiumei understand that he has a lot of prospects for development with Boss Gu, and he will never give up this job. also promised to be good to Li Xiumei for a lifetime, and only then did Li Xiumei agree to go on a business trip. Along the way, Xu Yunjie saw that the boss was full of worries, so it was time to solve the boss''s problems. Knowing that the boss returned this time to attend his younger brother''s wedding, and the woman who married the boss'' younger brother was also the woman the boss had his eyes on, Xu Yunjie sighed in his heart that it was wonderful! On the surface, he seemed to share the boss''s worries, and said all the good things to make the boss feel relieved. Sure enough, he clearly felt that after this incident, the boss valued him even more, and even wanted to bring him to attend the wedding later. While the boss was cleaning up, Xu Yunjie also simply tidied himself up and shaved his beard, at least to make himself look more energetic and not lose the face of the boss. Afterwards, he got into the car with his boss and was about to leave for the hotel where the wedding was held¡ª ¡­ At 9:30 in the morning, the car to pick up the bride drove into the compound where the Gu family lived. The car stopped in front of the door, Xiaobai got out of the car, and without Lan Shu''s instructions, he had already consciously carried Lan Shu out of the car, carried him all the way to the gate, and carried him to his room. Going upstairs with Lan Shu, Li Jiaojiao, and two big boxes behind Li Jiaojiao. One of the boxes contained Lan Shu''s dowry, a total of 68,888 yuan in cash! The more than 60,000 in cash, 50,000 of which was given by Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan. Chapter 6 has been updated~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 314: was robbed of attention Chapter 314 was robbed of attention In addition to this, there is eighteen thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight, which is the money that Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang have been working hard to earn in the past few months. And the three brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo got together to add the dowry to the younger sister. The five members of the Lan family in Tianshui Village raised more than 18,000 yuan in total, and they did not embarrass their daughter and younger sister. Another bigger box contained the second wedding dress that Lan Shu would wear to the hotel later. In addition to the wedding dress, there were also eight photographers from the photo studio who took pictures with film cameras on the way from Lan Shu''s marriage. In addition, Lan Shu also hired two videographers from the TV station to help her record the clips of the wedding process. Lan Shu wants to keep her wedding photos and videos. Follow-up shoots of this size hardly existed in the 1980s, and the cost was huge! Especially video, every second is consuming film. In order to record her wedding as much as possible, Lan Shu specially gave the videographer 2,000 yuan to buy enough film for the video. Two thousand yuan, that¡¯s almost three years¡¯ wages for a factory worker here in Kyoto! In order to take pictures and videos, such a "big hand" was used, even Li Jiaojiao, who has never been short of money since childhood, was shocked! But thinking that Lan Shu could keep the wedding by doing this, and that she could see it whenever she wanted to, Li Jiaojiao also murmured in her heart, if she finds someone to marry in the future, she should do like Lan Shu! On the second floor of Gu''s house, Lan Shu changed into her second wedding dress and went downstairs with Xiao Bai. After that, tea was served to Xiaobai''s parents, and then the whole family got in the car and went to the restaurant. Because of the need to take pictures and videos, the entire itinerary was delayed. It was almost eleven o''clock before everyone arrived at the Kyoto Hotel. The next step is to go to the banquet hall and hold the wedding. At this time, many guests had already arrived in the largest banquet hall on the third floor of the hotel. With the presence of Mr. Wei, it is enough to hold the place. The lights in the banquet hall are bright, flowers can be seen everywhere, and there are appropriate ribbon embellishments, and the decoration is very festive. When Xiaobai held Lan Shu''s hand and the two of them dressed up and walked into the banquet hall together, in an instant, all the eyes of everyone present were focused on the two of them! Lan Xinya arrived earlier because she came here for another purpose. Before Lan Shu arrived at the banquet hall, Lan Xinya had already talked to several people through her identity as another daughter of the Lan family. Not far away, Gu Cheng also arrived ten minutes ago. He saw Lan Xinya chatting and laughing with other men, but there was no reaction in his heart. But when he saw Lan Shu in a gorgeous white wedding dress appearing in front of his eyes, and the man standing next to Lan Shu was his half brother, Gu Cheng was so jealous that he almost went crazy! Xu Yunjie on the side didn''t pay attention to the bride and groom at the first time. What he focused on was always his boss. Seeing Boss Gu''s tense face, Xu Yunjie immediately cared softly beside him, "Boss, are you okay?" The one who answered Xu Yunjie was Gu Cheng who almost gritted his back molars and said, "It''s not good!" After finishing speaking, even though Gu Cheng was in a complicated mood, he still walked towards Lan Shu¡ª Since he is here for today''s wedding, Lan Shu should see his appearance. Xu Yunjie immediately followed when he saw the boss approaching. A few minutes later, Lan Shu saw Gu Cheng standing in front of her. What made her unbelievable was that Xu Yunjie was following Gu Cheng! When did Xu Yunjie and Gu Cheng meet? The two can walk together one after the other, it seems that the relationship should be good. Lan Shu was really surprised that these two people could get together. When Lan Shu saw Xu Yunjie, Xiao Bai beside him also saw the man who despised Lan Shu in public at the shopping mall in Qingyang County. Xiao Bai frowned, "Why are you here!" Although he said this in the direction of Gu Cheng, the corresponding one was Xu Yunjie. On the opposite side, Gu Cheng didn''t immediately realize that his younger brother''s words were aimed at someone else. He heard Gu Jue say this, and thought it was aimed at himself. So Gu Cheng immediately returned, "I am your brother, I will attend your wedding, what''s the problem?" As soon as the voice fell, Gu Chengcai realized that Gu Jue''s gaze had passed him, and landed on the seat next to him. Following Gu Jue''s gaze, Gu Cheng saw Xu Yunjie¡ª At this time, Xu Yunjie was also extremely shocked! Although he didn''t immediately recognize that the beautiful bride who looked like a female star was his ex-wife Lan Shu. But he recognized the handsome young man who was far beyond ordinary since more than a year ago. noob? Xu Yunjie remembered that Lan Shu called the boy beside her in this way. Now, Xu Yunjie was surprised to find that the protagonists of today''s wedding were her ex-wife and the boy named Xiaobai! Xiaobai...Is Boss Gu''s younger brother? And his ex-wife is the woman Boss Gu can''t ask for? ! Such cognition made Xu Yunjie hardly believe it! The woman he disliked and hated at the beginning, will one day become the woman he likes for the boss he is desperately flattering! Seeing Xu Yunjie stunned, Lan Shu understood that Xu Yunjie didn''t know that today was her wedding. The other party should have come by accident. But since it happened to happen, on this day of her great joy, she must let Xu Yunjie, a scumbag, know that she is going to remarry, right? So Lan Shu glanced past Gu Cheng who was opposite, and landed on Xu Yunjie, "Long time no see, Xu Yunjie." Gu Cheng on the side:? ? ? He came here on purpose today because he wanted Lan Shu to take another look at him. But now, Gu Cheng found that he didn''t get what he asked for! Lan Shu didn''t look at him, but set her eyes on the assistant beside him! "Xu Yunjie, what''s going on!" Gu Cheng, who was robbed of Lan Shu''s attention by his assistant, was furious in his heart. In this situation, Xu Yunjie lowered his head in fright, and didn''t even dare to look at the boss again¡ª He knew in his heart that it was best not to let the boss know about his relationship with Lan Shu. Otherwise the boss may have a grudge against himself! It''s a pity that what Xu Yunjie was worried about will happen at this moment. Lan Shu sneered softly, turned her eyes to Gu Cheng, and said, "What''s the matter? Gu Cheng, you brought Xu Yunjie with you, don''t you know his relationship with me?" "What can he have to do with you?" When Gu Cheng heard that Lan Shu had taken the initiative to say that she had a relationship with Xu Yunjie, at this moment, no matter what the relationship was, any relationship that could be recognized by Lan Shu made Gu Cheng jealous! He didn''t expect that one day, he would be jealous of an assistant who used to serve dishes in a restaurant, but now works hard in front of him, works like a ox, or even an obedient watchdog! The last chapter is finally finished according to plan, good night everyone~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 315: no use regretting Chapter 315 Regret is useless "As for the relationship, you can ask him yourself." Lan Shu said, looking away from Gu Cheng, apparently no longer interested in talking to him. And Xiaobai looked at Xu Yunjie, and said coldly, "Throw this person out!" After speaking, he took Lan Shu''s hand and walked towards the front of the banquet hall, where the wedding ceremony was held. Behind him, a few plainclothes soldiers who were transferred by Mr. Wei to maintain the order of the scene heard Gu Jue''s words, and immediately raised their hands, regardless of whether Xu Yunjie agreed or not, they quickly took people out of the banquet hall¡ª Leave Gu Cheng frowning and confused, not knowing what happened. But Gu Cheng''s intuition told Gu Cheng that this matter must not be a trivial matter, so he didn''t even continue to watch the wedding ceremony, and turned around and walked out of the banquet hall. He has to ask Xu Yunjie carefully, what is the relationship between Lan Shu and him! ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s wedding officially began after they walked onto the stage in the banquet hall holding hands! This wedding has attracted a lot of attention. Many powerful and wealthy people came to the scene. They brought their families and the atmosphere was lively. So when Lan Shu wore a gorgeous white wedding dress and walked onto the stage, her attire instantly ''hit'' the hearts of all the women present! When young girls saw such a wedding dress, their emotions ranged from shock, to envy, and finally excitement! Many people are thinking that they should dress so beautifully at their wedding! The older married ladies have even considered that after the wedding, they will ask Mrs. Wei about the source of the bride''s wedding dress. This wedding dress is worn on the bride, gorgeous and grand, it is really popular! The children of their family will definitely make their daughter and daughter-in-law so beautiful when they get married. As the wedding march sounded in the banquet hall, on the stage, under the auspices of the master of ceremonies, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai saluted, visited the hall, and exchanged wedding rings. After that, tea is offered to the parents and elders of both parties. At this wedding, besides Mr. Wei and his wife, Xiaobai''s grandmother, Mrs. Lin who lives on Linfu Street in Qingyang County, was also invited by Gu Anguo. The old lady only knew at this time that there was still such a relationship between her Xiaobao and the fat girl back then. She watched her little grandson get married with a smile and drank a cup of tea from his grandson-in-law. Wait until all the procedures are completed, and the wedding ceremony is complete! The feast begins¡ª ¡­ On the other side, outside the banquet hall of the Jingdu Hotel, at the corner of the stairs from the second floor to the third floor, Gu Cheng stopped Xu Yunjie! "What is the relationship between you and Lan Shu?" As usual, Gu Cheng spoke with orders in his tone, asking the other party to answer his questions immediately. But Xu Yunjie was stumped whether to talk about this matter. If he were to face other people, Xu Yunjie would certainly not hide Lan Shu''s divorce from him. But the person in front of him is Boss Gu, his boss, a man who likes Lan Shu and seems quite infatuated. If the boss knows that his love is unrequited, it is the woman he abandoned like a shoe... Xu Yunjie worried that his boss would have a grudge against him from now on. So Xu Yunjie was entangled and kept silent. For the first time, he didn''t obey the boss''s words, and didn''t answer the boss''s every question. This made the gully between Gu Cheng''s brows deeper. "Xu Yunjie, answer me! I want to know something, and no one can hide it. Do you want me to check it myself?" Gu Cheng was very dissatisfied with Xu Yunjie''s attitude. It was like the obedient ''watchdog'' in front of him who suddenly became rebellious, making him suddenly doubt whether this ''dog'' was loyal to him. Xu Yunjie has been with Gu Cheng for a while, he knows that Gu Cheng not only has money, but also means. What Gu Cheng wants to know, really cannot be kept secret. So Xu Yunjie took a deep breath, and after mentally preparing himself, he looked up at Gu Cheng. He put on a humble attitude, and replied cautiously, "Boss, I, I have nothing to do with Lan Shu now!" This sentence must be explained first. After finishing speaking, Xu Yunjie glanced at Gu Cheng, and saw that the boss was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, so he resigned himself to his fate and continued. "Before... Lan Shu and I were married before, but we divorced after just one year, one year later!" As soon as Xu Yunjie finished speaking, he immediately saw the shock on his boss''s face! Afterwards, his boss looked at him with obvious disgust! Xu Yunjie knew that the boss would definitely mind his marriage with Lan Shu. So Xu Yunjie immediately explained, "Boss, don''t worry! Although Lan Shu and I have been married for a year, there is nothing between us and nothing!" Xu Yunjie originally thought that what he said would change the boss''s impression of him and stop hating him. But in the next second, he saw the boss with a shocked expression on his face, and raised his hand emotionally to grab his collar, "What did you say?!" "I said..." Xu Yunjie was startled, and then he realized what question his boss asked. "Boss, although Lan Shu and I were married, I have never touched her, and nothing has happened between us!" Xu Yunjie said in a reassuring tone. Hearing this sentence, Gu Cheng was stunned for a short time, and suddenly felt strong remorse in his heart! Lan Shu is still an unprofessional big girl? ! Although he likes Lan Shu and doesn''t care whether Lan Shu is divorced or not, but as a man, Gu Cheng still has some concerns in his heart that Lan Shu used to have intimate relationships with other men. But now, Xu Yunjie, Lan Shu''s ex-husband, personally told him that Lan Shu is still a perfect body, which surprised Gu Cheng, and at the same time regretted that he had not been able to persist in pursuing Lan Shu before! At this moment, Gu Cheng once again had the thought of taking Lan Shu back. He turned around almost reflexively, and ran quickly towards the banquet hall where the wedding ceremony was held on the third floor! But when he ran into the banquet hall, what he saw was the warm and happy scene of the Gu family and the two Lan family members standing together on the stage, and finally taking a group photo of the whole family. After a burst of film flash light ¡®Kaka¡¯ came on, the master of ceremonies announced loudly¡ª "Let''s bless our newlyweds today, and wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years and grow old together..." Gu Cheng could no longer listen to the words that followed. He knew, he was late... This wedding is done, there is no room for change! Even if it could be changed, he would not dare to fight and change it in front of so many people present... ¡­ The Gu family and the Lan family''s children tied the knot, and the dozens of banquet tables in the Jingdu Hotel continued to sit until two or three o''clock in the afternoon, before the guests left one after another. Before leaving, Wei Qiushuang could no longer remember how many wives among the guests found her specifically, asking her daughter-in-law where she bought the wedding dress. (end of this chapter) Chapter 316: Im afraid youre not used to it Chapter 316 I''m afraid you''re not used to it Even some relatives, friends and colleagues who did not bring their wives for various reasons came to her and her husband with embarrassment, and stammered to ask about the wedding dress for their daughter. This made Wei Qiushuang really difficult. She doesn''t know where her daughter-in-law''s wedding dress came from, but Shushu owns a clothing factory, maybe she made it in her own factory? So Wei Qiushuang responded to these inquirers in a unified way, and she would help to inquire and let them contact her in a few days. When Wei Qiushuang said this, she felt embarrassed. She, a mother-in-law, didn''t know about her daughter-in-law''s wedding dress, she was really ashamed. So Wei Qiushuang felt that she must care more about her daughter-in-law in the future and treat her well. In the future, if the son and daughter-in-law have children, she will retire immediately and help them take care of the children! Thinking that he might be able to become a grandmother in a short time, Wei Qiushuang has already begun to look forward to it... ¡­ That night, Lan Shu, who married into the Gu family, moved into the compound where the Gu family lived. Although the Gu family''s house is not as big as the mansion Lan Shu bought on Chang''an Road, it is not too small. A small two-story building covering an area of ??more than 100 square meters, and a courtyard of 40 to 50 square meters. Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang live downstairs, and upstairs are Gu Cheng and Xiaobai''s room, and Gu Anguo''s study. In the evening, Gu Cheng moved out of the house a long time ago, and now there are only Lan Shu and Xiao Bai living on the second floor. Today Lan Shu came back from the afternoon to change clothes, remove makeup, take a bath, and eat with her in-laws at night, and finally got free at night. Lan Shu never knew before, that getting married is such a tiring thing! Standing on high heels and wearing a wedding dress that weighed several kilograms, after a few hours, even the jewelry on her head and body felt a little heavy. Xiaobai could see the fatigue in Lan Shu''s eyes, so before going to bed at night, he brought hot water for Lan Shu to soak her feet to relieve the fatigue of the day. Seeing Xiaobai being so considerate, Lan Shu of course readily accepted it. While soaking her feet, she looked at Xiao Bai''s bedroom. Because Lan Shu was too busy before, she only saw the wedding room today. Here is a big change from when she came here before! Last year, there was still a single bed in Xiaobai''s room, complete with bookcases and desks. Now, the single bed in the room has been replaced with a wooden carved double bed, and a Simmons spring mattress is also laid. On the bed is a four-piece suit embroidered with bright red handmade gold thread, which is festive and delicate, and it seems that it took a lot of effort to make it. The previous bookcases and desks in the room have all been removed and replaced with bedside tables and wardrobes that match the big bed. Not far from the end of the bed against the wall, there are small soft-covered sofas and small coffee tables. This kind of decoration made Lan Shu a little familiar, and it seemed to be somewhat similar to her bedroom in the mansion on Chang''an Road. But soon she felt that it might be a coincidence, right? Every bedroom is filled with those kinds of furniture, and they are placed in similar positions, which is not a strange thing. Xiaobai''s room is about twenty square meters, so it looks spacious and warm. Seeing Lan Shu finally looking at the room, Xiao Bai asked, "Do you like the layout of the room?" Lan Shu nodded, looked away from the furniture, and then looked at Xiao Bai, "The family is bothering you." Hearing what Lan Shu said, Xiao Bai seemed relieved, "It''s just as long as you like it." This word... "You arranged the room?" Lan Shu looked at Xiao Bai in surprise. Besides, Xiaobai nodded, "I don''t know what you like, so I refer to your room." Lan Shu was slightly taken aback when she heard that¡ª So she thought the room layout was familiar before, but it was actually according to her room! Lan Shu''s dazed look caught Xiaobai''s eyes, and he suddenly felt that such a Lan Shu was cute. He raised the corners of his lips and continued, "I''m afraid you won''t get used to living here, so try to resemble your room as much as possible." After finishing speaking, Xiaobai added, "Actually, we can live anywhere in the future. I have already told my parents that if you are willing to live with them, it is here. If you want to go back to your residence, then go back and live. " "Or if you have free time later, let''s look at a few houses, and which one you like, I''ll buy it and use it as our wedding house." With Xiao Bai''s words, Lan Shu suddenly felt that even though she was married, she was not restrained by it. She was surprised and delighted by this freedom. As for Xiaobai''s proposal to buy another house, Lan Shu did not refuse, "Then let''s buy another big house." Neither she nor Xiaobai is short of money to buy a house. Buying a house now will definitely increase in value in the future, so there are not too many houses. Xiaobai heard that this was also his idea. At the beginning, he was worried that Lan Shu would get used to her house on Chang''an Road and would not want to move out with him. Now that he has some accurate news, he already plans to ask his friends tomorrow if there are any other houses for sale near Chang''an Road. If there are any, he will take Lan Shu to have a look and make a decision. In this way, the two houses will be close to each other in the future, and it will be convenient for them to live anywhere. The two of them chatted warmly about their plans for the future, and the time passed quickly. The water in the water basin by the bed was getting cold. After soaking her feet, Lan Shu took a towel from Xiao Bai''s hand to dry her feet, and then lay on the bed ready to sleep. She had already changed into her pajamas, pulled up the thin quilt to cover herself, and then closed her eyes. Although she is married and will live with Xiao Bai in the future, but because Xiao Bai is still young, Lan Shu can be said to have no distracting thoughts when she sleeps. Seeing Lan Shu close her eyes, Xiao Bai was startled. After struggling for a moment, he still asked, "Are you... asleep?" After hearing Xiaobai''s voice, Lan Shu opened her eyes with a puzzled expression, "Aren''t you sleepy?" She got up at five o''clock in the morning to change clothes and make up, and she was tired for another day. Although she couldn''t say that she was sleepy, it was time to go to bed. Regarding Lan Shu''s answer, Xiao Bai immediately answered, "Lan Shu, today is our wedding day." Lan Shu:? "Our marriage is still the last step." Xiao Bai looked serious. Lan Shu:? It was Xiaobai who answered Lan Shu, stepped onto the bed, knelt down beside her, bowed her head and kissed her! They''re finally married, so some things, too¡ª With this kiss, Lan Shu went from being touched like an electric shock at the beginning to being shocked in her heart, and then gradually fell silent. But in the end, she still pushed Xiao Bai away. Sitting on the bed, Lan Shu''s face was full of confusion. "Xiaobai, although we are married, we haven''t received the certificate yet. If we have children..." "Then go get the certificate tomorrow." Lan Shu was interrupted by Xiao Bai''s voice before she finished speaking. (end of this chapter) Chapter 317: annoying to see Chapter 317 Annoying to see "Tomorrow?" Lan Shu was startled again, subconsciously blurting out her doubts¡ª "Can I get a certificate at the age of eighteen?" The moment she said this, Lan Shu suddenly thought, isn''t the original owner of her body also a certificate obtained by Eighteen Years Old and Xu Yunjie? For a long time, many of her cognitions have stayed in her original world. For a while, she ignored that this world is a world in a book, and some settings are different from her cognition. For example, the time to get the marriage certificate¡ª Here, at the age of eighteen, you can get a certificate. Otherwise, when she and Xu Yunjie separated, she wouldn''t have to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a divorce certificate. So eighteen is already legal...? Thinking of this, Lan Shu felt relaxed for a moment, and then nervous again! Before getting married, she felt that even if she got married, the progress between her and Xiao Bai might not be so fast. But now, she just suddenly discovered that her original plan was broken! Xiao Bai was also taken aback when he heard Lan Shu''s question. When he was about to explain to Lan Shu, suddenly, his neckline tightened, and Lan Shu pulled him down¡ª Since it is legal, she has no guilt. Wouldn''t it be a waste to leave the man I already got for nothing? Lan Shu originally thought that a little brother like Xiaobai was inexperienced and needed to take the initiative with a passable theoretical knowledge, but she didn''t know that her initiative was like a signal to Xiaobai. Now, Xiaobai doesn''t need to explain. He will use actions to tell Lan Shu that their relationship has entered the next stage since they got married! ¡­ The next morning, when Lan Shu woke up, she felt tired all over. So this morning, she didn''t get up too early. It was around ten o''clock, and she got out of bed with sloppy steps, and went downstairs after washing up. Today is a working day. The Gu family, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo all have jobs, so they left for work early in the morning. It was also because of this that Lan Shu was prevented from becoming her ''social death scene'' on her first day of marriage because she couldn''t get out of bed. At noon, instead of cooking at home, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai got into the car and went to No. 99 Chang''an Road. Yesterday, she just got married and didn''t bring much clothes and luggage. Today, she has to go back and get some to Gu''s house. Although Lan Shu has discussed with Xiao Bai, the two will buy a house and move out in the future. But before moving, as the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, she will still live in the Gu family. ¡­ At this moment, in Lan Shu''s mansion, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are cooking in the kitchen. They still have to stay in Kyoto for a few days, and after Shushu arrives at Weicheng''s cousin''s home in three days, they will go back to Tianshui Village with them, and there will be a home banquet in the village. Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo haven''t left yet. Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu rarely come to Kyoto, and they must have a good time in Kyoto, so the two went out early in the morning, planning to take a day trip to Kyoto. Before going back to Linjiang City, Lan Xiuming wanted to meet his friends in Kyoto. And Lan Sibo has a day off, and will return to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences tomorrow. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences is not far away, just on the outskirts of Kyoto, so it is most convenient for him to attend his younger sister''s wedding. When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai came back, the courtyard was still full of firecrackers and red paper. Originally, Aunt Man came here early this morning to clean up the yard, but Chang Chunfang felt that the red pavement in the yard was very festive, so the red paper clothes for setting off firecrackers were kept. Chang Chunfang intends to keep these red papers for a day, and she will come out when she has nothing to do, and it will not be too late to clean them up tomorrow. Seeing their daughter and son-in-law coming back, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli immediately came out of the kitchen and asked them if they were having lunch at home and what they wanted to eat. It happened that the two of them didn''t have a place for lunch, so they ate directly at home. At noon, besides Lan Shengli, Chang Chunfang, Lan Shu, and Xiao Bai, only Lan Sibo was there among the Lan brothers. After they finished their meal, Lan Shu took the few sets of clothes she packed out of the room and went back to Gu''s house with Xiao Bai. ¡­ Nothing to do in the afternoon, Xiaobai proposed to take Lanshu to see his grandma. After Mrs. Lin was taken to Kyoto from Qingyang County by Gu Anguo, she did not live in Gu''s house, but went to Wei''s house for a short stay. The old lady is getting older and likes to get along with people of the same age, so that they can have common topics. So Xiaobai''s grandmother, Li Qi, proposed to let the old lady live at home, so as to have a talking companion. Old lady Lin lives in Wei''s house, and while Xiaobai goes to see grandma, he can also see grandpa and grandma. Lan Shu is no stranger to Mrs. Lin, and she also met Xiaobai''s grandparents at yesterday''s wedding. Although the elders are very easy-going people, if you go to visit yourself, you must be courteous. So before going, Lan Shu prepared gifts. With the help of Xiaobai, Lan Shu made a pot of fluffy and less-sugar steamed cakes for several elderly people. Although these gifts are not expensive, Lan Shu thinks that the elderly will definitely like them~! ¡­ When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to Wei''s house together. Kyoto, No. 178 Chang''an Road, Gu Cheng''s residence. In the courtyard, Xu Yunjie had been standing in the courtyard since the morning, basking in the sun, neither eating nor drinking, and could only resign himself to his fate and wait for the boss to speak. Gu Cheng''s impression of Xu Yunjie completely changed in just one day! In the past, Xu Yunjie was a loyal dog by his side, serving him and working hard. But now, knowing that Xu Yunjie is actually Lan Shu''s ex-husband, Gu Cheng said that he is not jealous of Xu Yunjie, even he himself does not believe it! It is precisely because of envy and jealousy that whenever Gu Cheng sees Xu Yunjie, he will think that he once got Lan Shu. Although Xu Yunjie and Lan Shu didn''t have any intimate things, they were married after all. And myself, nothing! Gu Cheng doesn''t want to see Xu Yunjie again, when he sees him, he will feel that he is not even as good as Xu Yunjie! So after a day of repeated moods, Gu Cheng finally had a result deep in his heart. He walked out the door, looked at Xu Yunjie who was standing in the courtyard pale, with chapped lips that were bleeding, and said condescendingly¡ª "From now on, you don''t have to follow me anymore. I won''t drive you out of the company, but what you can do depends on your own ability." "In short, don''t appear in front of me again!" When Gu Cheng saw Xu Yunjie, he felt upset! But Xu Yunjie does have some skills and can make money for him. Although Gu Cheng didn''t want to see Xu Yunjie, he wanted to keep Xu Yunjie under his nose. He has to take a good look at it. When Lan Shu chose to marry Xu Yunjie, what was it about Xu Yunjie? In the yard, Xu Yunjie was relieved when he heard the result! He thought that his job would not be guaranteed. Once he was beaten back to the past, But now it seems that this is the best result. (end of this chapter) Chapter 318: contact me Chapter 318 Contact Me In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at Wei''s house with a pot of steamed cakes. The compound where Wei''s house is located has a high degree of secrecy, that is, Xiao Bai, a familiar face who has lived in Wei''s house since childhood, can enter without notification. The car drove into the compound, under Xiao Bai''s guidance, Master Zhang parked the car in front of Wei''s house. At this time, not far from the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Lin was sitting and chatting with other old ladies in the courtyard. Seeing her little grandson and granddaughter-in-law getting out of the car, the old lady immediately got up and greeted them with a smile. "Xiao Bao brought his wife here." The voice of the old lady was heard by Mr. Wei who was playing chess with his old friend in the yard. Mr. Wei told his old friend to wait a moment, then walked out the door and saw his grandson. "You boy, you have a conscience when you bring your daughter-in-law to visit grandpa right after you get married." Although the old man said so, he was really happy in his heart. This shows that the grandson still thinks about them. Xiaobai came here this time mainly to see grandma, but seeing his grandfather say that, he couldn''t easily expose it. Xiao Bai took Lan Shu''s hand and walked forward, standing in front of the old man, "Grandpa, we brought you delicious food this time." "Oh? What good stuff?" Wei Jin said, already sniffling. He smelled a sweet smell of food. Seeing the old man asking, Lan Shu immediately lifted the cloth cover above a small basket in Xiao Bai''s hand, and said softly, "Some soft and easy-to-digest cakes, I deliberately put less sugar, and they can be eaten for breakfast." While speaking, Mrs. Lin also walked up to the two of them and saw the food in the basket. "This pastry is yellow and clear, and it looks delicious. Is it made of eggs?" Lan Shu nodded, and replied with a smile, "It''s made with egg flour and some milk. You can try it later." Old lady Lin heard that it was just what she wanted, "Then I''ll wash my hands right away, and come over to eat." Seeing Mrs. Lin enter the courtyard happily, Xiaobai and Lan Shu also followed in after Mr. Wei called. In the kitchen, Li Qi heard her grandson''s voice from the yard outside. She turned off the gas and came out, only to see her grandson bringing his wife to the house. "Don''t leave at night, eat at home, I''ll add two more dishes later." Li Qi was very happy to see his grandson, and he just kept him. Xiao Bai originally planned to take Lan Shu to stay at Grandpa''s house for dinner at night, so he nodded in agreement. A few minutes later, Grandma Lin ate the soft steamed cake as she wished. Because she thought it was delicious, she ate two extra pieces. Old Master Wei also tasted a piece, and it tasted good, but he didn''t eat much. If he opened up such a small amount of food, there wouldn¡¯t be much left. His wife is busy cooking, so she hasn¡¯t tasted it yet~ The old friend who played chess with the old man was also considered lucky. He tasted two pieces and learned that this thing was made by the grandson''s wife of the old man Wei''s family. The other party couldn''t help but give a thumbs up. Someone came to Wei''s house, and Mr. Wei''s chess friend left after not staying for long. During dinner at night, besides Xiaobai and Lanshu, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo also rushed over after get off work. The whole family sat at the table, and the atmosphere was really lively. During eating, Wei Qiushuang mentioned something. She looked at Lan Shu and asked, "Shu Shu, was the wedding dress you wore at the wedding yesterday custom-made in your own factory? During the banquet, many wives asked me where I could buy it." After hearing what his daughter said, Mr. Wei immediately answered. "Let''s not talk about you, a few old comrades also chased me to ask about the source of the wedding dress, how would I know~!? I wanted to find a chance to ask my granddaughter-in-law, but what a coincidence, you came here by yourself today." As he spoke, Mr. Wei also set his eyes on Lan Shu. Before getting married, Lan Shu made meticulous preparations for her wedding, whether it was custom-made wedding dresses or looking for photography and video recordings. She never thought that her wedding dress could have so many inquiries. Since there is a business delivered to her door, she must take it. So Lan Shu looked at Wei Qiushuang and Mr. Wei and said. "Mom, grandpa, my wedding dresses are all custom-made. If anyone asks about the wedding dress in the future, you can give them my phone number and ask them to contact me." When she said this, Lan Shu was already thinking that the wedding dress customization team she formed in her clothing factory didn''t need to be broken up, and she could directly connect with customers who needed custom-made wedding dresses in the future. It¡¯s just that Qingyang County is a bit far from the capital. She turned around and asked if the wedding dress customization team in the factory would come to Kyoto to develop, she would open a wedding dress studio here. When Wei Qiushuang and Mr. Wei heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, then I will tell those few friends who asked about the wedding dress your phone number in the past few days." Old Master Wei also said, "I will have an explanation to my old friends later on." They were afraid that Lan Shu would find it troublesome, so they didn''t want to let the factory make wedding dresses. Now all problems are solved. The last meal was eaten, and the family was very happy. At night, the Gu family just gathered together a car to go back. ¡­ Two days later, it was the day for Lan Shu to return home. The homecoming banquet of the Lan family was still held in the Kyoto Hotel. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai attended together, one in a suit and the other in a red dress. The red dress was the last toast attire at the previous wedding. Today is not a wedding, so there is no need to wear it so grandly, the toast attire is enough. Although the interpersonal relationship of the Lan family is not as strong as that of the Wei and Gu families, Lan Weicheng is also a businessman and knows a lot of people, so there are more than 30 tables set up for this back-to-door banquet. Besides the relatives of Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, there were also people whom Lan Weicheng knew in the mall. Among them, Lu Wei and Qian Qing, who cooperated with the Lan family in the walkman business, were also invited to have dinner. At the banquet, Lan Shu also met Li Jiaojiao. At the wedding, Li Jiaojiao attended as Lan Shu''s bridesmaid. As for the home banquet, she came with her father, who is the president of the chamber of commerce, as a guest of the Lan family in the mall. Originally, with Lan Weicheng''s status in the business district of Kyoto, it was not easy to invite President Li. But now the Lan family has Lan Shu and the young master of the Gu family, so President Li came here without any hesitation after receiving Lan Weicheng''s invitation. The daughter of the Lan family is capable and married well. Now the status of the Lan family is not what it used to be. When the door-to-door banquet was about to end, Lan Shu also met a few guests who made a special trip to praise her for the beautiful clothes she was wearing. These people are all women, with a wide range of ages, from young girls to elders. The last chapter was actually updated last night, but it was locked. In fact, I didn¡¯t write H. There was no process and no details. . Now the review is really strict, so I can only delete the whole paragraph. This chapter is the first chapter of today, and I am working **** coding, and there will be another chapter after 12 o''clock. (end of this chapter) Chapter 319: time limit Chapter 319 Time Limit For these potential customers who are obviously interested in the toast clothes she wears, Lan Shu directly tells them that besides the toast clothes, there are more gorgeous wedding dresses and Xiuhe clothes. If you are interested, you can contact her to see the photos after five days. If you need wedding dresses at that time, you can queue up to order them. The phrase ''queuing up to order'' made the guests who came to inquire suddenly feel a sense of urgency! Is it so difficult to customize a wedding dress? Even have to wait in line to buy? Because of this idea, I originally just wanted to ask about the situation. If there are people who need to consider buying wedding clothes in the future, one or two people have the idea of ??queuing up in advance to order wedding clothes. Someone asked, "How long does it take to order a wedding dress?" "It will vary from one month to three months. It depends on the duration of the queue. If there are too many people queuing in front, it is possible to wait a year." Lan Shu replied. With this sentence, if they need wedding clothes, they have to queue up in advance to order them! In the five days Lan Shu reserved for herself, in addition to the photos of the three wedding dresses, she would also draw as many wedding dress designs as possible. As long as there are customers who need wedding dresses, as long as they contact her, Lan Shu will never miss this business! ¡­ The homecoming banquet of the Lan family in Kyoto was over, and the next day, Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County with her parents and Xiao Bai. Her elder brother and sister-in-law did not take the car back with them, but took the train back home one day in advance. In the car, the driver, Master Zhang, is in charge of driving, Xiao Bai sits in the passenger seat, and Lan Shu sits in the back row with her parents. The car is full. While Xiaobai and Master Zhang switched cars all the way, eight hours later, the car arrived at the county seat of Qingyang County. Arriving in Qingyang County, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai did not go back to the village directly, but asked the driver Master Zhang to take their parents home first. She hasn''t come back for a few days, and she has to go to the garment factory to explain some urgent matters. As Xiaobai is her marriage partner, it is justified to go to the factory with her. It happened that Lan Shu also wanted to let the people in the factory meet Xiaobai, the family member of the factory manager. At 4:30 in the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived at the garment factory. She asked Xiaobai to sit in the office for a while, and she contacted the deputy factory director, Liu Axing, and asked Liu Axing to call all the employees who had previously participated in the customization of her three wedding dresses. Liu Axing, the deputy factory director, is quite competent. She knows exactly where every worker is. In less than half an hour, Liu Axing gathered all the people together. Except for her, there were a total of eight people, including two garment patterners and four female workers who made garments. There are two other people who are responsible for the hand embroidery on Xiuhe''s clothes and the hand-made embroidery on the wedding dress. Lan Shu saw Xie Xiaoju among the two pattern makers. Xie Xiaoju, as the veteran of the garment factory, is now in charge of the pattern making department of the entire garment factory. In addition, her husband has a job in the transportation team of Qingyang County, and her child is also studying in the elementary school in the county, so it is very unlikely that she is willing to go to Kyoto. But Lan Shu still treated everyone equally and asked everyone''s opinions to see if they would leave Qingyang County and work in Kyoto. If they agree, the salary in Kyoto must be higher than that in Qingyang County. In the county, the wages paid by garment factories to ordinary workers are 25 yuan a month. After the basic tasks are completed each month, the excess workload is calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. Each person can get more than 50 yuan a month. Sixty is possible. But in Kyoto, 50 yuan is her starting basic salary, and the rest is still calculated according to the workload. The custom-made wedding dress is different from ordinary casual clothes. The price of a wedding dress is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary clothes in a garment factory, so the manual cost of making a wedding dress is also doubled, and it is not just as simple as ten times! Hearing that Factory Director Lan plans to open a studio for custom-made wedding dresses in Kyoto, and intends to let them work in Kyoto. Among the eight people, Xie Xiaoju just hesitated for a moment, and then refused to go to the capital. The remaining seven people were excited, entangled, and even had the ambition to fight in a big city. Finally, five people expressed their willingness to go to Kyoto, while the remaining two are still hesitating and need to go home and discuss with their families. Lan Shu will give them time to think about it, but this time can''t be too long. After her homecoming banquet is over tomorrow, she needs to get their definite answers before going to Kyoto the day after tomorrow. Regarding the consideration time given by Director Lan, the seven said that they would go back and think about it carefully, and they would leave the results within the time limit. This time Lan Shu came back and brought a lot of wedding candy from Kyoto. After the meeting with a few people, Lan Shu asked the deputy factory director Liu Axing to go to the office and bring the wedding candy to the factory to share with everyone. Afterwards, before getting off work, Lan Shu took Xiaobai around the factory again, announcing Xiaobai''s identity as the factory director''s family member. The workers in the factory already knew about their factory manager¡¯s wedding when they ordered the wedding dress for the factory manager a few months ago. Now I see the young man brought by the factory manager, tall and handsome, standing next to the factory manager, the two look really good match! So along the way, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai received sincere blessings from many workers in the factory. Before leaving the garment factory, Liu Axing sent Lan Shu to the door, and said seriously, "Director Lan, I don''t know much about other good things. I hope you will stay together forever and be happy forever." "Thank you." Xiao Bai replied to Deputy Factory Director Liu before Lan Shu could speak. He smiled and said, "We will be happy forever." He married Lan Shu, and he wanted to make Lan Shu happy for a lifetime. This is his duty and his wish. Xiaobai hopes that Lanshu will be with him so that he can be happy forever and never regret... ¡­ The other side, Kyoto. Lan Xinya successfully expanded her social circle at Gu and Lan''s wedding a few days ago. In the past few days, she has been in close contact with a third-generation red family member who has been in the army for two generations. Lan Xinya wasn''t ugly in the first place. Although her appearance was not as good as Lan Shu''s, after dressing up, she looked like a jasper, gentle and generous. Such an external character is easy to attract the idea of ??the opposite sex, coupled with her initiative and courteousness, so the "target" she loves also has a good impression of her. Meng Heng was born in a military family, and now he graduated from a military academy with a bright future. Meng Heng, like Gu Jue, grew up in the compound when he was a child, and was also brought to the army by his elders to practice. At that time, he met Gu Jue. Meng Heng is a few years older than Gu Jue, but because of Gu Jue''s grandfather status, he pays close attention to Gu Jue. So much so that when he later heard that Gu Jue went to medical school and wanted to pursue a medical career, Meng Heng still felt that Gu Jue couldn''t think about it! A few days ago, he attended Gu Jue''s wedding with his elders, and met a girl. Because the other party is the sister of Gu Jue''s wife, Meng Heng looks at Lan Xinya differently. The update is complete, good night everyone~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 320: pity Chapter 320 Arousing pity After getting along with Lan Xinya, Meng Heng felt that this girl was pretty good. Gentle-natured, courteous, knowledgeable, after getting to know him, he has not been entangled with him all the time, and has a degree of distance. In addition, she will be regarded as Gu Cheng''s relative in the future, so Meng Heng and Lan Xinya have a closer relationship and start talking about partners. Lan Xinya is already satisfied that she can find a boyfriend like Meng Heng. Because Meng Heng''s identity is there, and he is tall and strong. If this condition is not in the army, the girls chasing him may line up. During the conversation with Meng Heng, several female friends who had almost stopped communicating with Lan Xinya also reconnected with her after hearing the news. This made Lan Xinya feel that being with Meng Heng was a good thing in her heart. Because Meng Heng has been in the army for a long time, he has also developed a vigorous and resolute character. He just happened to go home for vacation recently, and spent more time with Lan Xinya. After only dating for a week, he took Lan Xinya home to meet his parents. Meng Heng''s parents also had a good impression of Lan Xinya when they first met, but as parents, they always pay special attention to their son. Seeing that the son brought the girl back, the two of them would naturally find out about the girl''s situation before deciding whether to agree to their son''s continued relationship with the girl, and even to the point of finally getting married. Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng almost got engaged at the beginning, but many people in the business district of Kyoto knew about it. Because Meng Heng and his parents were not from the business district, they didn¡¯t know about Lan Xinya¡¯s past. But as long as you inquire with the old neighbors who live in the same compound as the Lan family, you can find out a lot of news. For example, Lan Xinya was about to get engaged a year ago, but she was abandoned by a man. Afterwards, the family entrusted her to work in the factory. After a few months of work, she couldn''t bear it, so she resigned and was raised by her parents at home. Later, for unknown reasons, Lan Xinya had conflicts with her parents and moved out. Oh, by the way, Lan Xinya is not the daughter of the Lan family, she is the wrong child. Although her adoptive father is rich in business, her biological parents are rural people on the edge of a small county town who make a living by farming. . When Meng Heng''s mother heard the news, she felt dizzy! Her son''s date is actually such a person? That''s why Meng Heng''s mother never agrees with her son to continue dating Lan Xinya! After hearing the news, although Meng Heng was surprised, he did not refuse to listen to Lan Xinya''s explanation. After all, the Lan Xinya he knew was gentle and kind, and not so unbearable. Knowing that the family of the person she dated checked her details, although Lan Xinya was unhappy, she had long expected that this day would happen sooner or later. So Lan Xinya has long thought of her rhetoric¡ª "I almost got engaged to Gu Cheng. Because my father was in business, he took me to a business dinner before. Gu Cheng fell in love with me at first sight and pursued me for a long time. I thought he was sincere to me, so I agreed to date him. " "I didn''t expect that when we were about to get engaged, Gu Cheng fell in love with my parents'' biological daughter!" Speaking of this incident, Lan Xinya burst into tears. The tears were sincere, but also the grievance that was performed in front of Meng Heng. When Lan Xinya cried, she explained so sincerely, which could arouse a man''s pity. Meng Heng took his girlfriend into his arms, and patted Lan Xinya''s shoulder reassuringly. Lan Xinya saw this, and continued, "I was wronged when I was young, and this is not something I can decide. My parents used to treat me very well, but since they found their own daughter, they have changed their treatment of me." "They are only good to their own daughters, and only think about their own daughters..." The following words don¡¯t need to be so clear at all, it is enough for the observers to make up a lot of stories about mistreating the adopted daughter. "That''s why I moved out from home and wanted to be independent." Lan Xinya said, looking up at Meng Heng, with tears in her eyes, but she was very strong. "Since I met you, I suddenly feel that I have to rely on. I like you very much, but if your family disagrees with us being together because of my family, I will let you go, as long as you don''t make it difficult." After receiving sympathy and pity, Lan Xinya said such generous words, which made Meng Heng feel that a woman who can be so gentle, virtuous, and generous is the one he wants to find a wife! So Meng Heng let Lan Xinya relax, and then went home and told his parents that he was going to marry Lan Xinya. During this process, Meng Heng also spoke good words for Lan Xinya in front of her parents. Meng Heng''s parents are both soldiers with a sense of justice in their bones. When they heard about Lan Xinya''s real situation, they naturally sympathized with Lan Xinya just like Meng Heng. The couple quickly made a decision and agreed that their son should marry Lan Xinya. No matter what outsiders say, their family has recognized this daughter-in-law! So, when Lan Shu brought people from Qingyang County to Kyoto to open a custom-made wedding dress studio, Lan Xinya was already preparing to get married. Lan Xinya and Meng Heng were talking about their partner and getting married, but they didn''t tell Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan. Facing Meng Heng, she said that her adoptive parents treated her badly, and she was very sad, so she didn''t want to talk about it, and when she got married, she would tell her adoptive parents, if they want to come to the wedding, then come . As for Lan Xinya''s biological parents, Lan Xinya has another argument. She has never been with her biological parents since she was a child, and she is very strange to her biological parents. She went to the countryside to see her biological parents before. Her parents have three sons, and their family lives happily. Her daughter, who has never been with her since she was a child, actually doesn''t matter to the family whether she wants it or not. She didn''t want to disturb the life between her biological parents and her brothers, so she didn''t contact her again after that. When Meng Heng heard Lan Xinya say this, he felt that Lan Xinya was very pitiful and helpless. Now he is her only support, so he will treat Lan Xinya well. The Meng family''s wedding is different from the Gu family''s grand wedding, and the preparation time does not need too long. They only need to inform their relatives and friends in advance, book a hotel, and then set a good date to get married on June 6. There are still more than 20 days before this day, Lan Xinya will go shopping with her sisters when she is free, and buy clothes suitable for her wedding. Just waiting for the wedding to come¡ª ¡­ On the other side, after Lan Shu returned to Kyoto from Qingyang County, Xiaobai, whose marriage leave was over, returned to Peking University School of Medicine to continue working and studying. Lan Shu spent two days drawing several designs of wedding dresses. In addition, she also received three or four hundred photos taken during her wedding. There is still a chapter in hard code words, everyone will read it tomorrow morning~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 321: to reimburse Chapter 321 Reimbursement As for Lan Shu''s wedding video, because the two videographers recorded a total of more than a dozen video tapes, the video tapes are still being edited. This workload is relatively heavy, and it will take at least half a month to get the edited finished product. Aside from the video tapes, Lan Shu selected a few photos from her hundreds of photos that could highlight the overall effect of the three wedding dresses, and asked the photo studio to put them in the largest ten-inch photos. Worked as a rendering of a wedding dress studio. Because she doesn''t have time to rent a house, decorate it, and create a brand for a wedding dress customization studio, Lan Shu had to use her mansion as a facade for the time being. With the help of Aunt Man, she hung up three sets of wedding clothes on mannequin hangers and put them in the lobby on the first floor for display. Then it is to receive those people who come to learn about wedding dresses and want to customize wedding dresses. ¡­ When Lanshu was picking up customers and orders, all seven female workers from Yunshu Garment Factory arrived in Kyoto. Lan Shu had called in advance and asked the driver, Master Zhang, to pick him up. The seats in the car were limited, so Master Zhang made two trips before sending the seven of them to the nearest guest house near the residence of Director Lan. "For the past two days, you will stay in the guest house first. Director Lan has asked someone to look after the house. After the house looks good, you can change places." The seven people nodded after understanding the situation. In this unfamiliar place, they can only listen to the arrangement of Director Lan. Fortunately, Lan Shu asked Yu Yuan to find a house. Yu Yuan was a more reliable person. Soon he found a three-story small house with a yard outside Chang''an Road No. 100 that he was willing to rent out and sell. The houses on Chang''an Road are basically where the rich live. There is no need to think about the house number 100 here, and almost no one is willing to sell the house. Lan Shu was able to buy No. 99 at the beginning because of good luck. But the house with the house number outside the 100th will occasionally change. For example, the house Yu Yuan was looking for this time was that the owner had a lot of houses and built bigger and better houses in other places, so the house on Chang''an Road was left unused. The main intention of the idle house is to rent out. If someone really wants to buy it, they can sell it, but the house price will not be cheap. After receiving a call from Yu Yuan, Lan Shu asked Yu Yuan to negotiate the price with him, and she wanted to buy a house. Buying a suite can cost no more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. In addition to the room for appreciation in the future, the high-end wedding dress customization studio she wants to open now is to open in such a place where both the location and the house are very expensive. The last set of rooms at No. 201, Chang''an Road, was taken down by Lan Shu at a price of 18,000. After simply tidying up the house, the wedding dress customization studio can be opened immediately¡ª ¡­ Seven female workers from Yunshu Garment Factory left the guest house on the second day they arrived in Kyoto, and moved into the house that Yu Yuan rented for Lanshu near Chang''an Road. On the third day, they followed the driver, Master Zhang, to No. 201 Chang''an Road. In the small building at this time, several masons were painting the walls inside the house, giving the already good house a new look. Then the seven people were told that this is where they will work in the future. The seven of them never thought that they were only here to make wedding dresses, but their working place was in such a beautiful small building. The small building has three floors. According to Master Zhang, in the future, the first floor will be the hall for receiving customers, and the second floor will become a place for wedding dress exhibition and try-on. The third floor is where they will work and make wedding dresses. After visiting the workplace, the next day, several people met with Director Lan. Lan Shu has been busy receiving customers who are interested in custom-made wedding dresses these days. In three or four days, she has won more than 20 orders. Among these orders, some ordered Xiuhe clothes, some ordered white wedding dresses, and some ordered three sets of Xiuhe clothes, white wedding dresses and toast clothes together! The price of a wedding dress ranges from 300 to 800 per piece. According to the complexity of the embroidery, the cheapest Xiuhe dress is between 300 and 400. The toast dress is simpler in style, and the price is generally around 150. Although this price is definitely high in terms of market price, Lan Shu is only engaged in high-end customers. Originally, some customers thought the price was too high, but after carefully looking at the three sets of wedding dresses that Lan Shu herself wore, and seeing the photos of the wedding scene that she took out, they didn''t say anything, and just placed an order! Fortunately, the clients introduced by Mr. Wei or her mother-in-law Wei Qiushuang are not from families with average incomes, and they can still come up with a few hundred dollars. Some even ordered three sets of wedding dresses, and the price exceeded a thousand! The customers at the Lan''s homecoming banquet who were interested in custom-made wedding dresses were all business families, and they were not short of several hundred dollars. Therefore, the total price of Lan Shu''s first batch of orders is expected to exceed 10,000. More than 10,000 yuan is really nothing to Lan Shu''s clothing factory, toilet paper factory, and cosmetics company, but in the wedding dress industry, she only needs to invest a small amount of labor to make a profit. The most important thing is that while making money, Lan Shu also hopes that girls can marry in beautiful wedding dresses. And she is optimistic about the prospects of this line. From the current studio to the high-end reputation brand in the future, when wedding dresses and wedding dresses are mass-produced, they will also become a large part of the business content of the garment factory. After meeting the seven female workers in the factory, Lan Shu first learned about their situation in Kyoto these days, and then took a few of them to the shopping mall. According to the body size of several people, she gave each of them two sets of simple and beautiful clothes from the direct-sale store opened by her factory in Kyoto as their work clothes. The female workers in her custom-made wedding dress studio, even if they are usually working, they must dress better. In this way, when customers come to try on the custom-made wedding dresses and see that even the workers are dressed so neatly and beautifully, they will have a better impression of their studio. Afterwards, Lan Shu took the female workers to the barbershop after asking several people for their wishes. Everyone is willing to have their hair oiled, permed, or cut. Today, she, the factory manager, will be reimbursed together! Clothes are not enough, hairstyles can also enhance a person''s temperament. After all this was done, Lan Shu took a few people to a restaurant for dinner, and announced that three days later, seven people would officially start work! There were more than a dozen customers who came to measure their body shape in the first batch, all of them were young girls. The female workers keep a good record of each person''s figure data according to the wedding dress style chosen by the girls. Wait for several brand-new sewing machines to be delivered to the room on the third floor, and the table cutting panel is also set up in the clothing pattern-making room. and the clothing factory delivered the fabrics they needed to the direct-sale store in Kyoto together, and the seven people began to work according to the order before and after the order, as well as the size of each person''s body! (end of this chapter) Chapter 322: Twenty-four filial sons Chapter 322 Twenty-Four Filial Piety and Good Son On the other side, after Lan Shu settled down the workers, she used Lan Weicheng''s network in the shopping mall to recruit a few new employees for the wedding dress studio. Two female employees with good makeup skills, and a receptionist who can speak well and has a good sense of service. Since we are going to be a custom-made wedding dress studio, we can''t just measure the size and make wedding dresses. Recently, some customers came here because of family introductions. In the future, to develop customers, contact them, and place orders depends on the abilities of the three of them. In Lan Shu''s vision, a makeup artist would paint beautiful makeup on the customers, and then put on the wedding dresses they would later use as samples for try-on. Waiting for the customer to take a photo in the full-length mirror, I believe there are not many girls who can refuse their beautiful appearance at the wedding. So in this way, the wedding dress order will be easier to win. After the new employees joined the company, Lan Shu paid the three of them the basic salary level in Kyoto, a basic salary of 40. In addition, the three people are working at their own jobs while developing customers, taking orders, and taking a percentage according to the value of the order. Lan Shu has never been stingy about paying employees wages. As long as they have the ability, high wages are not a problem! ¡­ The wedding dress studio is fully staffed. One week after the start of work, the studio''s order schedule has been fully scheduled for at least three months. At this moment, Lan Shu still didn''t forget to give Li Jiaojiao a hand. She contacted Li Jiaojiao and asked Li Jiaojiao''s high-end custom shoe studio to separate the wedding shoe series into her own wedding dress studio. After Li Jiaojiao learned that the clients of Lanshu''s wedding dress studio were from the circles in Kyoto, she found that as long as she took advantage of the opportunity handed over by Lanshu, her handmade high-end customized shoes would soon be able to Smoothly broke into the upper class circle of Kyoto! Therefore, Li Jiaojiao is very grateful to Lan Shu in her heart! She even said immediately, "I want to transfer 20% of the shares to your name, Lan Shu, you can''t refuse this matter!" Li Jiaojiao listened to Lan Shu''s advice and developed her business from an ordinary shoe store to a high-end one. In the past few months, with the help of her family network, Li Jiaojiao''s high-end custom shoes have begun to make a profit. Before Lan Shu mentioned letting her shoes enter the wedding dress customization studio, Li Jiaojiao had already made up her mind that she would give Lan Shu 10% of the shares. Now, when she sees Lan Shu doing something good, she thinks of herself, and with Lan Shu''s help, she can indeed make her high-end custom shoes enter the upper class circle of Kyoto faster. That''s why Li Jiaojiao increased the 10% shares originally planned in her heart to 20%! Lan Shu saw Li Jiaojiao''s resolute attitude, hesitated a little, and nodded in response. She has a lot of properties under her name, and the 20% stake in Li Jiaojiao''s high-end custom shoe studio is the icing on the cake for her. And she won''t take shares for nothing. In the future, in the wedding dress studio, and after the production of wedding dresses is branded in the future, her wedding dresses will be co-branded with Li Jiaojiao''s custom shoes, driving the development of custom shoes. They were friends before, and will be partners forever in the future! ¡­ The next day, Xiaobai was on vacation for the weekend and came back from school. He used to spend most of his weekends in the lab, but now he''s a family man. Married at the age of 18, this story is widely circulated in school. It is a pity that the most talented senior/student in their medical school and the youngest and most handsome in the laboratory got married early. From now on, the seniors and juniors in the school have no choice but to stop thinking about him. Peking University School of Medicine, Li Xuan also knew that Gu Jue was married. He married that Lan Shu who was several years older than him. Li Xuan had been brooding over this in her heart before. The day before Gu Jue got married, she thought about going to see Gu Jue to make her final confession, but she still didn''t go. Because at that moment, she suddenly figured it out. It is too difficult to make Gu Jue like herself. He has already had his pursuit, and he tried to change his will, and now thinking about it, he is really overwhelmed. So Li Xuan gave up. On the day of Gu Jue''s wedding, Li Xuan actually wanted to go to the wedding, and it was also a farewell to her relationship from crush to pursuit. It''s a pity that Li Xuan found out that her family is not qualified to attend the wedding held by Gu''s family. That''s why Li Xuan didn''t go to the Jingdu Hotel to attend the wedding, but watched the wedding car drive into the compound from a distance in the morning and parked in front of Gu''s house. Then it was Gu Jue who hugged Lan Shu who was wearing a beautiful red wedding dress from the car... The moment she saw Lan Shu, Li Xuan suddenly understood the reason why she couldn''t catch Gu Jue''s eyes. The well-dressed Lan Shu is so pretty! Even though she is older than Gu Jue, she can''t tell her real age when she is dressed in red. Lan Shu who was with Gu Jue at that moment, even if Li Xuan didn''t want to admit it, had to admit that the two looked really good for each other! She realized the reality, Gu Jue is married, and she should give up. So Li Xuan went home, lay on the bed in her room, hugged the quilt and cried for a long time. Crying already, her one-sided first love should end... ¡­ Xiaobai''s side, returning home from vacation, he is full of anticipation to see Lan Shu. Thinking that Lan Shu is already his daughter-in-law, Xiao Bai feels that happiness comes too fast, and even makes him feel like this is just a dream! Back home, my parents haven''t left work yet, and Lan Shu hasn''t come back yet. Xiao Bai went upstairs and returned to the bedroom. From the traces of life in the bedroom, it can be seen that Lan Shu lived at home when he was in school. Thinking that he was still a student, Xiao Bai became a little anxious. It seems that before the summer vacation, he has to skip another grade! In the evening, Lan Shu finished her work and returned to Gu''s house. When she saw Xiao Bai coming out of the kitchen, she suddenly remembered that today was Friday, and her little husband was on vacation. "What''s for dinner?" Lan Shu asked casually. Then I got Xiaobai''s answer, "Green pepper shredded pork noodles, and fruit." It was late when he came back from school, so dinner was more casual. Lan Shu nodded, "Remember to face less." "I remember." Xiaobai said, smiling slightly, then walked into the kitchen and cooked a small amount of noodles. When Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo came back from get off work, what they saw was that the young couple at home had already eaten. Wei Qiushuang: ¡­ My son is cooking again! Gu Anguo:? I don¡¯t know if you have cooked their meals? Fortunately, Xiaobai is not someone who married a daughter-in-law and forgot his parents. There are still a lot of vegetables in the pot. He can cook noodles and add vegetables to eat. After the meal, Xiao Bai brought out a plate of cut fruit. He had seen the fruit plate prepared by Lan Shu, so he followed suit. Peel and cut the apples into pieces, peel and break the oranges in half and put them away, cut the watermelon into small triangular pieces, and cut the bananas into sections. Wei Qiushuang: ¡­ Her good son of twenty-four filial piety was not raised by herself, but was educated very well by her daughter-in-law~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 323: wedding notice Chapter 323 Wedding Notice On the weekend, Lan Shu was woken up by a phone call in the morning. The sound of "Dididi..." made her open her eyes from her sleep. Beside ??, Xiaobai rubbed his eyes sleepily, sat up, and the thin quilt slipped off his body, revealing his almost perfect muscular figure. He stretched his long arms, took the ''big brother'' from the bedside table, and handed it to Lan Shu, "There is a phone." Lan Shu took the phone and pressed the answer button. Then Lan Weicheng''s voice came from next to his ear¡ª "Shushu, can you ask your son-in-law to find out something for me?" During the phone call, Lan Weicheng''s voice was hurried, with obvious seriousness in his tone. It sounds like something happened, and the situation is not good. Lan Shu didn''t immediately agree to Lan Weicheng''s request, but turned to Xiaobai to ask for his opinion. Seeing Xiaobai tap her chin, she replied, "Yes, Dad, what happened?" With Lan Shu''s question, Lan Weicheng immediately explained the situation. It turned out that when he was going out this morning to go to the mall, he ran into a neighbor in the compound who didn''t usually have much to do with each other. When the other party saw him, he immediately walked over with a smile and congratulated him. At first, Lan Weicheng thought it was because Shu Shu got married not long ago, so someone congratulated her. But soon, he learned from the other party''s words that another daughter of his family was getting married next week! In just one month, you have to marry two daughters, shouldn''t you congratulate~? Lan Weicheng didn''t expect that, as a father, he got the news that his daughter was going to get married from outsiders! Even though the situation was embarrassing and even embarrassing, he still asked the other party about the marriage partner of his adopted daughter. What Lan Weicheng didn''t expect was that Xinya found a man who was a soldier. After hearing about the other party''s identity, Lan Weicheng thought of using Gu Jue''s relationship to learn about the character of Lan Xinya''s married partner. Even if Xinya didn''t tell her family that she was going to get married, as a parent, she couldn''t ignore her daughter''s marriage just because of this. At least they need to know how their daughter''s object is, isn''t it reliable? Can we keep walking with her? Xiao Bai learned of his father-in-law''s request and agreed to the matter without hesitation. Meng Heng? He has an impression. Although his memories are obtained from dreams, there is Meng Heng in the dreams. Although it is very marginal, it should be someone I know. So it is not difficult to find out the news of the other party. He only needs to go to his grandfather to find out about the situation of the Meng family. Xiaobai originally planned to take Lanshu for a stroll in Kyoto this weekend. Brother Da Zhuang took his wife on a one-day trip to Kyoto before, and he wanted to follow suit. As a result, the plan couldn¡¯t keep up with the changes, and the father-in-law¡¯s request came suddenly and urgently, so Xiaobai decided to go to his grandfather¡¯s house first today. Xiaobai went there on business, and Lanshu followed. In the final analysis, this matter is considered to be a matter of Lan Shu''s family, and she has to be present for both reason and reason. Because Lan Weicheng was waiting for news, Lan Shu didn''t have time to make another pot of steamed cakes this time. Sent a message to the driver, Master Zhang, on his pager, and within half an hour, Master Zhang had already driven to pick him up. The two got into the car and went straight to Wei''s house to find out about the situation¡ª ¡­ After a whole morning of running around, at noon, Lan Shu called her father Lan Weicheng back. "Meng Heng, who Lan Xinya wants to marry, is not bad. His parents are also soldiers, and they are upright. It is Lan Xinya''s luck to marry into the Meng family." When Lan Shu said these words, she felt a little emotional. There is such a thing as the heroine halo, right? Otherwise, Lan Xinya would not have found a man like Meng Heng after leaving Gu Cheng. Meng Heng''s own conditions and family background are definitely the object that many women would like to marry in their dreams! But in the end, it took Lan Xinya less than a month to take him down easily. Even during this month, the two have developed to the point of preparing for the wedding. After Lan Weicheng heard what his daughter said, he finally felt relieved. But at the same time, because Lan Xinya did not tell her family about her marriage, he felt uncomfortable. Lan Weicheng sighed, "Since Xinya has a good date, then marry her if she wants to, alas~" He felt helpless, but he had no intention of stopping Lan Xinya from getting married. Lan Xinya chooses her own partner and the person to marry. As parents, all they can do is wait for Xinya to come back and give her the dowry. Just in case, Lan Weicheng planned to give Xinya a dowry of 10,000 yuan. After two years, if Xinya''s family is happy and her husband is always good to her, then he will make up the rest of the dowry. He will level the bowl of water¡ª Shushu has a dowry, even if Xinya is not his biological daughter, he will give it. ¡­ A week later, on June 5th, Lan Weicheng received a call from Lan Xinya. On the phone, he learned that his adopted daughter was getting married tomorrow. Before the wedding, Lan Xinya informed her family about the incident and asked them to attend the wedding. Although Lan Weicheng felt uncomfortable, he still took his wife to the wedding. ¡­ Lan Shu also received invitations for Lan Xinya and Meng Heng''s wedding. The invitation was sent by the Meng family to the Gu family and Gu Jue. Back to Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s wedding, Meng Heng and his family had come to attend. Now that they are holding a wedding, there is naturally back and forth. So I don''t consider Lan Xinya, and only care about the face of the Meng family. Lan Shu should join Xiaobai to participate out of politeness. On June 6th, Lan Shu, who was wearing a light blue dress and long dress, walked into the Jingdu Hotel with her family and went directly to the banquet hall on the third floor. The banquet hall used by Lan Xinya and Meng Heng for their wedding is not the same as the one where Lan Shu and Xiao Bai held their wedding. Because the Meng family doesn''t have as many guests as the Gu family and the Wei family, and the largest banquet hall in the hotel today has already been reserved in advance, so the location of the Meng family wedding can only be the next best thing. Walking into the banquet hall, although the layout of the scene looks very festive, but in terms of details, the guests who have participated in the previous weddings of Gu and Lan can see that the grades are different. Meng''s wedding scene is mostly red silk, while Gu''s wedding is decorated with a lot of flowers. Not to mention anything else, no matter how much you spend, it¡¯s far from the top! The wedding ceremony was underway, Lan Shu stood in the banquet hall, looking at the newlyweds who were smiling happily on the stage. At this moment, although she didn''t like it, even hated Lan Xinya. But on Lan Xinya''s big day, she still sincerely hoped that Lan Xinya would get married in the future and live a good life. Even if Lan Xinya doesn''t want to live a good life, don''t look for trouble. Otherwise, Lan Shu will not show mercy to Lan Xinya if she is offended! (end of this chapter) Chapter 324: Chapter 324 On the day of Lan Xinya''s wedding, Gu Cheng, who is now developing his career in Haicheng, also received this news. Thinking of the woman with whom he was almost engaged, and now marrying someone else, Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback¡ª Gu Cheng doesn''t like Lan Xinya anymore. But it still makes him feel a little uncomfortable that what he used to own is now someone else''s. But this kind of unhappiness is only momentary, and it will soon disappear. He even survived the sadness and frustration of not getting Lan Shu, so why would he care about Lan Xinya? In Haicheng, Gu Cheng continued to be busy with real estate development, and Xu Yunjie, who was dispatched by Gu Cheng, also changed his job, from the real estate to the construction site. Xu Yunjie used to be the boss''s assistant. When everyone in the real estate company saw him, they would give him a little favor and call him Brother Xu. Now, even if he is not a heavy-duty worker on the construction site, he is only a supervisor. Tired from working outside, when I returned to the rented house at night, I had to face Li Xiumei. Li Xiumei is now working as a cashier in a store in an electrical appliance company. She has a decent job and her salary is not low. This job is even better than her job as a small clerk in Linjiang City, so she is very satisfied with her current job. When she was capable, her job was going well, and she even had some room for promotion, Li Xiumei saw Xu Yunjie, who was with her boss, and now she came back sweaty every day. Xu Yunjie used to have a pretty face, but now he has been in the sun for a month, and his complexion is dark and rough. This made Li Xiumei look at Xu Yunjie more and more disgusted, and even regret finding a man like Xu Yunjie. With my appearance and ability, I can definitely find a better man! After having such thoughts, Xu Yunjie found that Li Xiumei''s attitude towards him was obviously too cold. Although Li Xiumei still instructs him to do this and that every day, and looks at him more and more disgusted, her attention to him is not as full of supervision and control as before. This made Xu Yunjie feel better. Even if the work is tiring, at least my heart is relaxed. ¡­ June ends, the temperature rises, and the hot July arrives. A few days ago, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai looked at a house on Chang''an Road. No. 36 Chang''an Road, a building even bigger and more luxurious than Lan Shu''s mansion! This is a real mansion with a total area of ??more than 2,000 square meters. In addition to the three-story main villa building, there are two small buildings in the east and west. The furniture in the house is very particular. Mahogany is only the most basic furniture wood, and sandalwood and golden nanmu furniture can be made into a complete set! In addition, there is a spacious yard outside the house, with a large area of ??lawn, a garden fountain, and even a swimming pool. Such a house fell in love with Lan Shu the first time she saw it! And Xiaobai is quite satisfied with the condition of the house. So after the two looked at each other, they decided to take this suite together! The house quotation is to bring all the furniture and appliances inside, a total of 180,000. In this era when commodity prices are low and housing prices are not on the rise, and you can buy a good house for a few thousand yuan, 180,000 yuan can definitely be said to be a sky-high price! But Xiaobai bought the house without hesitation¡ª Because this is what Lan Shu likes, this will be his and Lan Shu''s home from now on. The 180,000 was settled on the same day, and the next day, the two successfully obtained the real estate certificate. Looking at his and Lan Shu''s names lined up side by side on the certificate, Xiao Bai suddenly remembered something. "Lan Shu, when are we going to apply for a marriage certificate?" Xiaobai and Lanshu have been married for two months, and the certificates have not yet been issued. At first, it was delayed because of the back-door banquet held by the Lan families on both sides. Later, Xiaobai went to school and came back on the weekend. After that, Lan Shu was busy with work. Work at a TV station, work at a garment factory, toilet paper factory. As well as the cosmetics company in Kyoto, and the production and supply of semi-finished fried chicken, she needs to worry about it. So before I knew it, I was delayed until now. When Xiaobai mentioned it, Lan Shu remembered it. Indeed, they need to get a marriage certificate. "So... tomorrow?" Today is July 6th, and tomorrow is July 7th. Although it is not the Qixi Festival in the lunar calendar, it is considered a good day in the solar calendar. But today is the weekend, tomorrow is Monday, and Xiaobai is going to school... But when Xiaobai heard Lan Shu saying that he would get the certificate tomorrow, he immediately agreed, "Okay, tomorrow!" So on the second day after buying the house, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau together and got the marriage certificate out¡ª ¡­ On the other side, it has been a month since Lan Xinya got married. During this month, Lan Xinya, who married into the Meng family, lived with Meng Heng''s parents. Meng''s family lives in the compound in District Z, and they live in the same compound as Wei''s family. Although the distance between the two houses is relatively far, they can barely be regarded as neighbors. The location of the compound is a little far from the city center, but it is no problem to buy any daily necessities, vegetables and food nearby. Because Meng Heng''s parents will not be able to retire for two years, they eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in the company. Therefore, at Meng''s house, Lan Xinya can only cook for herself if she wants to eat. Lan Xinya, who never cooked before, experienced the daily necessities in just one month. She didn''t want to cook at all, she thought it was enough to go to the restaurant alone and eat a little. But in order to impress her parents-in-law, she has to go to the nearby vegetable market every two days to buy vegetables and come back to cook. Sometimes Meng Heng would come back to eat when he misses his wife. In this way, besides cooking her own food, Lan Xinya also has to cook an extra portion for Meng Heng. Meng Heng has a big appetite, and she has to cook at least three dishes for a meal. If things go on like this, Lan Xinya has had enough of this kind of life! July 7th, the day when Lan Shu and the little white-collar worker got their certificates, Lan Xinya also told Meng Heng, "I want to go out and do business." Meng Heng just got married, and his wife is still a newlywed, how could he be willing to leave his wife? He hugged Lan Xinya and said softly, "Daughter-in-law, even if you don''t work, I can afford you." After finishing speaking, Meng Heng handed over the 76 yuan subsidy that was only paid out this month to Lan Xinya. How could Lan Xinya be satisfied with these dozens of dollars? This is not enough for her monthly pocket money before, not to mention that now she has to take care of Meng Heng''s occasional meals. So Lan Xinya said firmly, "I can''t lose my career just because I get married!" Seeing Lan Xinya''s resolute attitude, Meng Heng hesitated. But Meng Heng is still unwilling to let his new wife leave, "Daughter-in-law, we are already married, and we may have a child soon. If you go out to work again, what if you get tired and affect the child?" Listening to Meng Heng''s words, Lan Xinya was startled¡ª Although she is married, she never thought that she would have children! (end of this chapter) Chapter 325: research and development Chapter 325 Research and Development In Lan Xinya''s view, she needs to take care of herself, so where can she take care of a child? So this further strengthened her idea of ??keeping a certain distance from Meng Heng. She''s going to do business! Otherwise, you can only give birth to children at home, take care of children, and then spend your life¡ª That kind of life is not what Lan Xinya wants. "Husband, I want to go into business! I want to make a lot of money, so that when we have children, we can give them a better life." Hearing what his daughter-in-law thought, Meng Heng was slightly taken aback¡ª Give children a better life¡­ Of course he wanted to, but this matter was supposed to be a man''s business, but now it was brought up by his woman. Meng Heng suddenly thought, is he a little too incompetent? Lan Xinya doesn''t care what her man thinks, her goal is to make money! When she got married, her adoptive parents gave her 10,000 yuan as a dowry. Although it is not as much as Lan Shu''s 50,000, for Lan Xinya now, as long as she has money, it is a bit worth it. She wants to use the 10,000 yuan as capital to start a business, and she can always start some slightly larger profitable business. In the end, Meng Heng still failed to stop Lan Xinya. And Lan Xinya no longer stays at Meng''s house all day long, living a life of daily necessities. She rented a counter on the second floor of Huamei Shopping Center to buy and sell watches. Lan Xinya did the math. The purchase price of the watch ranged from ninety-five yuan to more than one hundred yuan, but it could be sold for at least one hundred and twelve yuan. As long as it can be sold, each watch can make her earn more than ten yuan. In this way, the money she earns every month is definitely much more than the Meng family''s step-by-step soldiers! A week later, Lan Xinya''s watch counter officially opened. Lan Xinya''s business has officially started¡ª ¡­ In mid-July, Xiaobai, who was supposed to be on summer vacation a long time ago, finally finished his research project in the laboratory and started the summer vacation. At this time, a piece of good news came from his electronic information company¡ª¡ª The mobile phone previously researched by Xue Chuang has been successfully developed. This kind of mobile phone can completely replace the "big brother" that only rich people can afford. Compared to mobile phones, mobile phones are half the size and quite light. Hearing the news, Xiaobai went to the company and brought back two samples of mobile phones. He keeps one for his own use, and of course the other is for his wife. Recently moved, Lan Shu, who lives back in the mansion on Chang''an Road, was slightly taken aback when she saw the silver-gray old-fashioned mobile phone with a small green electronic screen in Xiao Bai''s hand¡ª It''s only been 82 years, and the mobile phone has already been developed? Lan Shu was very interested in this phone. She took it in her hand and studied it for a while, and found that the phone had no other functions except for making calls. For things like sending information, it is still necessary to rely on the pager to call the signal station and send it manually. But since the mobile phone has come out, I believe that the situation of sending messages by mobile phone should not be too long. Regarding the small mobile phone Xiaobai brought back, Lan Shu simply made some comments on its appearance. If there is mass production in the future, more colors can also give consumers more choices. Regarding this, Xiaobai called Xue Chuang on the spot to feed back his opinion. After Xue Chuang listened to it on the phone, he learned that it was the opinion of the boss''s hostess¡ªMiss Lan, so of course he listened carefully! Xue Chuang is well aware of how strong Ms. Lan is in terms of business ability. Even now, the few mobile phone samples developed and produced by him are based on the Walkman factory invested by Ms. Lan. The silver-gray color on the shell of the Walkman produced is used as the appearance of a small mobile phone. Under Lan Shu''s suggestion, red, white, blue, black, and silver-gray have all been expanded to the range of colors for mass production of small mobile phones. After the phone call, Lan Shu wrote two full pages of manuscript paper based on her own experience and ideas about the follow-up sales of mobile phones, the real-name system for card application information, and after-sales customer service. She asked Xiaobai to take a look first, and if she was free, she would give Xue Chuang these two pages for his reference. Seeing that Lan Shu is so concerned about the development of her electronic information company, Xiaobai once again proposed the idea of ??transferring the company''s shares to her name. Lan Shu knew that Xiao Bai had good intentions, but she didn''t agree. "We are both married now. Whether the company''s shares are in your name or in my name, it is the same. There is no need to divide them so clearly." She said. After listening to Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Daughter-in-law is right, I will listen to you!" ¡­ This year''s summer vacation, other students have a two-month vacation, but Xiao Bai''s vacation is less than one month. In mid-August, he will go back to school and start the next research topic with the experimental team. In the only one month, Xiaobai thought about taking Lan Shu to walk around and enjoy the scenery of various places. It can also be regarded as going out for a leisure trip. For Xiao Bai''s idea, Lan Shu didn''t hesitate at all, and immediately agreed! She and Xiaobai have been married for two months, and they both work and go to school, so there is no time for honeymoon. Now is the perfect opportunity! But before going on a trip, she still needs a few days to arrange some work. The morning exercise program on the TV station just happened to be recorded in the next two days. While recording the program, Lan Shu called all the factories and companies under her name, and explained what should be done. This allowed her to completely relax after five days! The first stop of the two-person trip is around Kyoto. In fact, many scenic spots in Kyoto are already worth visiting. Lanshu and Xiaobai spent three days visiting various nearby attractions. While traveling leisurely, having fun and relaxing, you are also really tired! This made Lan Shu suddenly feel that she might not have been playing for less than a month... Xiao Bai beside him could see that Lan Shu was very tired, so the next trip could only be postponed temporarily. Lan Shu''s side, she had just rested for two days when she received a call from Lu Wei and Qian Qing. On the phone, Lan Shu learned that the CD and CD players have been researched! Some time ago, Lu Wei found a relationship and built a computer from abroad. With the cooperation of the external drive of the computer, he can finally record the sound and picture into the CD, and connect it to the TV to play through the CD player! Now that there is a product, the next step is mass production. Lu Wei''s call is to ask how much Lan Shu plans to invest in the new CD player and disc factory? In fact, Lu Wei could not give Lan Shu the opportunity to invest. But because of the successful development of the CD player, it is inseparable from Lan Shu''s original suggestion. And the semi-finished CD player sample that she bought at a high price from foreign contacts, so Lu Wei''s subsequent smooth research and development. (end of this chapter) Chapter 326: have recommended Chapter 326 has been recommended Being a person and doing things cannot cross rivers and tear down bridges, so Lu Wei asked this question. But the question is, Lu Wei will not agree that Lan Shu takes too many shares. Now he has a Walkman factory as the foundation, and he no longer lacks the money to open a CD machine factory and a CD factory. So in the bottom of Lu Wei''s heart, he only reserved 35% of the shares for Lanshu''s investment. I don¡¯t know if his thoughts have been seen through. The next second, Lu Wei heard Lan Shu¡¯s voice on the phone¡ª¡ª "Then I want 35% of the shares in the CD machine factory, and 60% in the CD factory." "Impossible! 60% of us will not agree!" Qian Qing beside Lu Wei was so excited when he heard Lan Shu''s words! Before the Walkman factory, they were already making money for the Lan family. The current optical disc factory, how could they hand over most of the shares to Lan Shu? Lan Shu had expected this result. But since she dared to say 60% of the shares, she has absolute reliance. "I invested in filming a TV series before, and it should be broadcast on TV in one or two months. When the time comes, I intend to burn this TV series on a CD and sell it to the outside world." She said. "In addition, I also opened a film and television company, and I will shoot more movies and TV series in the future and burn them on CDs." "So are you going to let me invest in the shares, or in the future, you will spend money to buy copyrights for every movie and TV series I make, and then burn them to CDs?" Lan Shu''s words made the two of them right! Exactly, who would buy a CD if there wasn''t an audiovisual picture worth seeing? Along with it, who would buy a CD player when there is no need for a CD? Therefore, even if they don''t want to give 60% of the shares of the disc factory, they must give it. Otherwise, the follow-up will even affect the sales of CD players. As for the film and television company that Lan Shu mentioned, she didn''t actually establish it, she just had such an idea. But now, with the CD machine factory and optical disk factory, the film and television company will be opened immediately, and the film and television dramas will be filmed at a faster speed! Finally, Lan Shu negotiated with Lu Wei and Qian Qing, and she invested 100,000 in the CD machine factory, taking 35% of the shares. The optical disc factory only needs to invest 50,000 yuan to get 60% of the shares. Different from CD machine manufacturers, the cost of CDs is relatively low, so 50,000 is enough! ¡­ As for Xiaobai, the plan still cannot keep up with the changes. Lan Shu originally promised Xiaobai a vacation, but because of work, she had to stop. For this reason, she also sincerely apologized to Xiaobai. said that after he had finished his work for a while, next time they met again and both of them had time, they would definitely accompany Xiaobai all over the country to have a good time! Xiao Bai understands Lan Shu''s ambition. He accompanied Lan Shu to start a business from the very beginning, so he also knew that Lan Shu was serious about work. Although it''s a pity that I can''t continue traveling with my daughter-in-law, Xiaobai expressed his understanding. Knowing that Lan Shu is going to set up a film and television company to shoot TV series and movies in the future, Xiao Bai is quite interested in it. So Lan Shu suggested, "Let''s go together? Starting a film and television company is no small matter. Whether it''s recruiting staff or choosing actors, as the leader of the company, you have to personally ask questions." "It happens that you can help me, so the efficiency will be faster. When the company is opened, if we have time, we will send it out for two days." Being able to fight for time alone with his wife, Xiaobai of course agreed! ¡­ Lan Shu has always felt that professional things must be done by professional people. For film and television companies, ordinary recruitment is not feasible, as it is difficult to recruit relevant talents in the industry. So she contacted Cui Nian, who works in a TV station, and asked if there was any relevant recommendation? At the same time, Lan Shu also contacted the producer, director, and even the screenwriter of the TV series she invested in, and informed them that she was going to open a film and television company. Whether it is a recommendation from a practitioner or an actor, she welcomes it very much. As the producer of the TV series, Mao Li has a very good network in this circle! Duan Lei, the director, also knows many actors who have studied acting professionally and have good acting skills. Luo Xiu is a screenwriter. There are many colleagues in his circle who like to write, but they have never had the opportunity. People in this era are relatively simple in thinking and doing things, there are no routines, and they don¡¯t play those fake ones. Knowing that Lan Shu needs talents, Mao Li and others are naturally highly recommended! Especially when I heard Lan Shu say that as long as the actors signed by her film and television company, besides the opportunity to perform, they also have a fixed monthly salary. And the price of participating in the performance shooting is also calculated separately! Such a good treatment, they all felt a little moved after hearing it. So there are colleagues, friends, and young juniors who are optimistic about them, and they all recommend them¡ª Waiting for Lan Shu to rent a house to set up a film and television company here, contact the masons and workers, paint the inner and outer walls, and carry out simple decoration. Many applicants have contacted her and are waiting to apply. Because of time constraints, Lan Shu had no choice but to temporarily use her wedding dress customization studio on Chang''an Road to conduct recruitment interviews with candidates. Those who come to apply for staff, Lan Shu requires that they must have work experience in the relevant industry and understand this industry. Camera, video, screenwriter, coordinator, she has interviewed good candidates. It''s just that the director is too difficult to meet. Today''s film and television industry is just in its infancy. Even if some people have the potential to be a director, they don''t have the opportunity to be a director, so naturally they don''t have relevant experience. So in the end, Lan Shu chose someone who was more thoughtful in the video, and among those who came to apply for the position of screenwriter, she chose someone who had better expressive ability. She recommended that the two of them try to develop in the direction of directors while working in their own jobs, so as to give themselves more possibilities. Seeing that they are valued so much by the boss, the two of them naturally readily agreed. So the staff of the just-started film and television company will soon be fully recruited! As for the actors, Lan Shu asked Xiao Bai to make the preliminary selection. From the last selection of TV drama actors, Lan Shu already knew how many unemployed actors there are today. So those who come to apply for actors, men and women, young and old, just today, there are seventy or eighty people who come to interview! Before the interview, Xiaobai still remembered that Lan Shu said that there are three points to keep in mind when signing into their film and television company as an actor candidate. For young people, appearance is preferred, and for older people, acting skills are tested. The last point is also the most important. The character of the other party must be good! Lan Shu hopes that the actors in the company can work steadily, have a friendly relationship with other actors, and be able to unite and cooperate when encountering scenes that require partners. As for those things of **** and intrigue, perhaps they will be everywhere in decades, but now, her company does not allow it! (end of this chapter) Chapter 327: best of the best Chapter 327 Best of the Best Li Xiaoyu is an aerobics performer on the TV station''s morning show. A few months ago, under the recommendation of the program leader Lan, she had the opportunity to audition, interview actors, and shoot TV dramas. After the interview was successful, Li Xiaoyu participated in the filming of a TV series outside of work. Although she didn''t have many roles, when she was in the crew, the conditions during the filming process were difficult, and the time for acting and filming was not long. But after this filming experience, Li Xiaoyu found that she is quite passionate about being an actress! She even felt that she had found her future pursuit in life¡ª Li Xiaoyu likes the job of an actor very much and wants to continue. But there are too few opportunities to shoot TV dramas nowadays. I heard that there are some opportunities in Guangdong City, but she has no relatives and no reason to go alone. Apart from her family''s worries, she herself dare not try it lightly. And Li Xiaoyu knew that even if he went, there were so many stars in Guangdong City, it would be difficult for him to get his turn even if he had the chance. At this moment, Li Xiaoyu heard that Producer Lan was going to open a film and television company. So she came to the interview right away! There are still many actors who came to interview on the same day as Li Xiaoyu today. He Wenxi is a student who graduated from the Drama Academy of Peking University. He Wenxi has loved acting since he was a child. During his several years of study at the Drama Academy, he has achieved excellent results. After graduation, if there is no accident, he should join some local opera troupes. Whether it is singing, dancing, or theater performance, he is competent. Originally, He Wenxi thought that his future life was already set, but he did not expect that before he planned to join the opera troupe, he received a call from the school teacher. His teacher suggested that he could try to develop in a film and television company. It is said that a friend of the teacher told his teacher that a film and television company is recruiting actors. The boss of that film and television company is very powerful, and the TV series they are shooting now are invested by the other party. Once the interview is successful and you enter a film and television company, in addition to the opportunity to shoot TV dramas and movies, the contracted actors will also have a fixed salary every month. This kind of treatment is much better than that of local opera houses! Hearing the news, He Wenxi came to apply for the job with a mentality of giving it a try. In addition to Li Xiaoyu and He Wenxi, there are many people who are full of love and hope for acting and come to interview. No. 201 Chang''an Road, in the lobby on the first floor of the wedding dress customization studio. Today''s wedding dress studio is temporarily suspended from receiving guests, but it is completely used as an interview venue for film and television companies. The recruited actors entered in groups of ten, and Xiaobai asked questions one by one to understand everyone''s situation. Although Xiaobai has never met Li Xiaoyu in person, he has watched the morning exercise program on TV and knows that Li Xiaoyu is an employee of his wife. In addition, Li Xiaoyu''s appearance can be said to be outstanding in the crowd, and he can be noticed at a glance, so Li Xiaoyu passed the first round of primary election on his side. And He Wenxi also passed the round of primary selection relying on his height of over 180, excellent appearance, and the figure he had practiced in school in the past few years. Except for two people, among the 86 people who came to apply for interviews today, a total of 67 people passed the round of interviews. So many people stayed, not because Xiaobai''s review is not strict, but because there are too many excellent people! The people who came to interview actors on the first day of official recruitment in Lanshu''s film and television company were almost all recommended by some people in the industry. The first few people who released the news were the directors, screenwriters, and producers of the TV series that Lan Shu invested in. Several people have a wide network of contacts in the industry. After spreading the news, it spreads to ten or ten to hundreds. Soon, many actors who were talented, talented, and capable in the industry were recommended and entered the interview stage. That''s why Xiaobai is now, even though Xiaobai has followed what Lan Shu said before, young actors are more attractive in appearance, and older actors focus on acting skills. But after interviewing all the way, there are still so many people left! Fortunately, there is still another round of interviews for signing actors in the film and television company. After Lan Shu finished interviewing the staff on the second floor, she went downstairs to start the second round of interviews with Xiao Bai. Lan Shu is quite straightforward in choosing actors! For young actors, there are many men and women with good looks, but there are fewer people with memorable looks. Among the actresses, she has options for being cool and sassy, ??sweet and cute, weak and broken, and gentle. Among the male actors, she also chose one of each type, tall and handsome, indifferent and serious, delicate and melancholy, sunny and smiling. In addition, Lan Shu tested the acting skills and professional abilities of these young actors and actresses. Empty has appearance, without acting skills is not feasible. There are so many talents present, of course she wants to choose the best. As for the older actors, according to their age, they are around 40 years old, 50 or 60 years old. After passing the acting test, Lan Shu also selected a dozen or so older actors according to their appearance types, and gave them to each other. Sign a contract. At the end of the first day of interviews and recruitment, Lan Shu signed more than 30 actors. According to the basic salary guarantee of 35 yuan per person per month, the monthly expenditure of her soon-to-be-established film and television company has already exceeded 1,000 yuan. The annual expenditure, plus the salaries of all the staff, will only be higher! It was the first time for Lan Shu to do this kind of business of spending money abroad. But she believes that the actors in front of her will definitely create greater value for her in the future! After selecting the actors, the next step is to sign the contract and finalize the time limit for signing. Lan Shu intends to offer each of them a five-year contract. After the five-year contract ends, if they don''t want to stay in the company, there are other better options, and she will let people go free. But the actors present who passed the interview learned that they can only stay in the company for five years, and they are likely to lose their jobs after five years. This made most of the actors ask, can the time limit for signing the contract be extended? They want their jobs to last, and they want to be in a studio for more than five years. Finally, Lan Shu asked for her personal wishes, and if she wanted to extend the contract period, she could change the five-year contract to ten years. With Lan Shu''s words, 80% of the more than 30 actors chose ten-year contracts. Before they came to interview and apply for the job, they heard that there is a TV series "Slaying Monsters" that is about to be finished filming, and the boss of this film and television company invested in the filming! From their point of view, they signed a contract with a film and television company to have a stable job and the opportunity to act. Of course, they must seize this opportunity tightly and never miss it! (end of this chapter) Chapter 328: open to eat Chapter 328 Open to eat The recruitment of the film and television company lasted for three days. During the past three days, Lan Shu has received a lot of staff, whether it is photography, video, makeup, coordinator, screenwriter, or actors. So that her newly established film and television company now has sixty or seventy employees. With so many people to support, there must be some output in the company! Lan Shu divided the staff of the company into two groups. One group was a screenwriter. According to the direction that the screenwriter is good at, while preparing TV dramas about the relationship between rural parents and mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they are developing in the direction of ancient historical themes. There are so many handsome men and beauties in the company, costume dramas can definitely highlight their beauty advantages! As for the script, the two screenwriters have written some ready-made scripts before, and now they are picking and making some modifications, which are just usable. After Lan Shu selected the script, she bought the copyright of the script directly with money. A script is five hundred yuan, which is not too low in today''s market conditions. The production team is well organized, and the overall planning is in place. The two directors hand-picked by Lan Shu go straight to work full of uncertainties in their hearts¡ª With Li Xiaoyu''s appearance, it''s perfect to go to the costume group! But she chose to dress disheveled in another crew to cover up her appearance advantages, and played the role of the heroine''s friend in the script of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the parents. That character is another poor woman in the village who, under the influence of the patriarchal environment in the countryside today, uses her as a marriage partner in order to allow her elder brother to marry a daughter-in-law. As for the role of the heroine, although Li Xiaoyu also wanted to play it, but because she was not from a major and her acting skills were not enough, she couldn''t take on this important role. However, compared to the beauties competing for beauty in ancient costume dramas, she can also be regarded as the second female lead in this TV drama about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the countryside. This is also the reason why Li Xiaoyu fought hard for this role at the beginning. Isn¡¯t it beautiful that she doesn¡¯t dress up for her appearance in filming? The film she wants to film, hopes that her presence in the film will be more meaningful. On the other side of the costume crew, the young, handsome and well-built He Wenxi plays the role of the young emperor who is controlled by the Queen Mother. This historical costume drama is mainly based on romance, and the emperor cannot escape from all kinds of concubines competing for favor and intrigue. This type of drama has never been seen before. Once it is filmed, Lan Shu can predict how much attention this TV drama will receive! Because of the high expectations, Lan Shu not only read through the script sentence by sentence, but also discussed some plot points with the editor to make changes. Determined to make this drama better! The two production crews are preparing intensely. One week after the selection of personnel for the rural mother-in-law and daughter-in-law TV series, the crew has already taken people out to find a place to shoot. And it will take some time before the filming of the costume drama starts. For clothing and props, Lan Shu invited Yao Jin, the prop master from the previous TV series "Slaying Demons", to lead people to make them. Before the filming starts, the crew also need to learn a certain amount of history and culture, and understand palace etiquette. There are various rules for standing, sitting, and lying down. Some of the actors also learn horseback riding and archery. So the study interval of at least two or three months can also leave enough time for the costume and props team to prepare. In late July, Lan Shu completed the decoration of the house rented by Lan Shu as a film and television company. Because no paint was used to paint the walls, the interior was only whitewashed with putty. When the walls were completely dry, the staff had already moved into the company in early August. With a formal office location, everyone is more enthusiastic about work and study. Waiting for the film and television company to temporarily stabilize and move forward step by step, Lan Shu finally had time to fulfill the promise before Xiao Bai went to school, and went out with Xiao Bai for a few days. The destination of the two people''s trip this time is a small city in the south. Xiaobai and Master Zhang took turns driving, and they both drove for more than ten hours before arriving at the place. In the evening, the three of them ate a meal with southern characteristics in the restaurant. At the dinner table, the fish soup was delicious, the fried shrimp wrapped in noodles was golden, the roasted chicken with lotus fragrance was tender and delicious, and the sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root was sweet and glutinous, which was Lan Shu''s favorite dish. After eating, a few people found a guest house nearby and checked in. Originally planned to start the official travel itinerary tomorrow, but I heard that there will be a lantern festival in a nearby street in the past few nights, so Lan Shu and Xiaobai got into the car and planned to go to the lantern festival. The lantern festival in the south is very local, and the scene is quite lively. There are colorful lanterns everywhere along the street, and there are many pedestrians on the road, bustling. There are various vendors on both sides of the road, selling local snacks. Perhaps it was infected by the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, Lan Shu is no longer deliberately controlling her food intake and sugar intake in order to maintain her figure. She was holding candied haws in one hand, while eating the southern pastries that Xiao Bai handed over from time to time. Seeing Lan Shu squinting her eyes happily because of the delicious food, and eating happily, Xiao Bai only thought it was cute. The two walked from the street to the end of the street, walking leisurely without feeling tired. Lan Shu, who ate all the way, was rarely full. In my impression, I haven''t felt full for a long time, and after eating a full meal, she actually feels happy in her heart. For many people, being able to fill their stomachs every day is a happy thing, and Lan Shu has a deep understanding at this moment. It''s a pity that she can only be ''presumptuous'' like this occasionally, otherwise she will lose her figure if she eats too much. ¡­ The next day, the trip officially begins! The scenery of the small town in the south is completely different from that in the north. In this kind of weather, you can go boating on the lake, which is cool and artistic, or you can climb a tall building and look down on the poetic scenery of the small town. After a day of playing, Lan Shu saw a lot of scenery, and her mood was particularly relaxed and open. She hasn''t felt so relaxed in a long time. At night, I still eat southern specialties. Sweet bean curd, special snacks, no need for big fish and meat, Lan Shu has already eaten to her heart''s content. Such a bland diet has even made Lan Shu like it unconsciously. She was even thinking that after returning to Kyoto, she might not be able to eat these delicious things. Even the southern restaurants in Kyoto can¡¯t make the authentic delicacy here. So a few days later, when they left the small town, Lan Shu was even a little reluctant to part. Xiaobai saw his wife''s mood, and gently embraced her in his arms, "I will bring you here when I have time later." Hearing Xiaobai''s voice, Lan Shu looked up at Xiaobai, then nodded, "OK." Lan Shu has already planned that when Xiaobai''s winter vacation is over, maybe they can spare time to see the winter in the south after finishing their work. (end of this chapter) Chapter 329: hide pregnancy Chapter 329 Concealing Pregnancy On the other side, in Kyoto, Lan Xinya''s watch counter has been open for half a month. For half a month, Lan Xinya didn''t hire a teller, and did sales by herself. In this way, commuting to and from get off work on time every day, she can also keep a distance from her man at night on the grounds that she is too tired from work. Because it is a newly opened counter, Lan Xinya does not have any regular customers. In addition, it is her first time working as a teller, and her sales ability is not strong, so her business is much worse than other watch counters in Huamei Mall. There are several counters selling watches in Huamei Mall, and the competition is not small. Moreover, the market for selling watches has basically reached saturation, so Lan Xinya sold less than ten watches in half a month~! The total money earned, after deducting the counter rental fee, is about 100 yuan. Calculated in this way, although she can earn around 200 yuan a month, it is much higher than the wages of ordinary workers. But others don''t have any capital to go to work, but she invested 10,000 yuan to open this watch counter! The current business at the counter is much lower than her psychological expectations at the beginning of the business! So Lan Xinya is quite dissatisfied with her business. She even thought about it, after all the watches on the counter were sold out, she would switch to other businesses if it didn''t work. Thinking in this way, Lan Xinya can only continue the business for the time being. But even if she intends to do business abroad, there will always be some small twists and turns in reality. In mid-August, two months after Lan Xinya got married, when she was having lunch at a small restaurant near the shopping mall, a bowl of beef noodles made her vomit after smelling the smell¡ª The originally delicious smell of beef has now become something that makes her feel uncomfortable and nauseated in her stomach! Seeing this scene, Lan Xinya already had a bad premonition in her heart. So instead of doing business at the counter in the afternoon, she went to the hospital for an examination. After a series of examinations, the doctor told her, "Congratulations, the baby is two months old. It is normal to feel nauseated by the smell of meat after pregnancy. You can eat something lighter recently..." Lan Xinya couldn¡¯t listen to the words that followed¡ª She never thought that even though she was very careful, she was still pregnant! Others might rejoice in being pregnant, but she was weighed down. The doctor''s congratulations did not make her feel happy, and she was not ready to be a mother yet. So Lan Xinya''s first thought was, is there a way to abort this child? But after she inquired about the possibility of miscarriage with the doctor''s strange eyes, she was told that if she wanted to remove the child, her husband must agree, and then the two came to the hospital with their marriage certificate to apply. After saying this, the doctor gave Lan Xinya serious advice. "Forced abortion is very harmful to a woman''s body. Some women, even if they have an accidental abortion, will eventually cause damage to the uterus and will not be able to conceive in the future. So you should go home and think about it before making a decision. " Lan Xinya doesn''t want children now, but it doesn''t mean she doesn''t want children in the future. As a woman, if she cannot bear children, she is like a hen that cannot lay eggs and will be laughed at. So after learning about the harm of abortion to the body, Lan Xinya decided to reconsider the matter of having a baby. As for telling Meng Heng that she was pregnant, letting the Meng family know about it... Lan Xinya hasn''t made up her mind yet. And she knew that once Meng Heng knew that he was going to be a father soon, with Meng Heng''s male chauvinism, he would not agree to not wanting this child! So for the next few days, after Lan Xinya came home from get off work at night, she would pretend that nothing had happened. Meng''s father, Meng''s mother, and Meng Heng were completely unaware that she was pregnant. ¡­ It was the weekend. In the morning, Meng Heng went out to a nearby vegetable market. He bought two catties of pork and came back to stew meat for his wife. In the kitchen, he washed the meat and put it in the pot, added seasonings, and stewed it for two hours to ensure that every piece of meat was soft and rotten, and then he took the meat out and put it in a lunch box wrapped in a towel , riding a bicycle to Huamei Mall. His daughter-in-law is working hard in business, and he feels distressed, so he makes some delicious food for her to take to her when she is not busy. Originally, Meng Heng had good intentions, but when he delivered the meat to the counter and opened the lunch box, Lan Xinya''s face darkened, and her eyes were full of disgust! ¡ª¡ª "Daughter-in-law, what''s wrong with you?" Meng Heng put the lunch box on the counter, supported his daughter-in-law, worried. A passer-by in the shopping mall saw this and guessed, "Young man, is your wife pregnant? Generally, when a woman is two or three months pregnant, she will feel sick and want to vomit when she sees meat." Hearing the words of the aunt on the side, Meng Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed! "Great! Daughter-in-law, I''ll take you to the hospital for a checkup." Seeing Meng Heng so happy, Lan Xinya had no choice but to pretend that she didn''t know about the pregnancy, and followed Meng Heng to the hospital. On this day, Lan Xinya''s watch counter was closed again. In the afternoon, Lan Xinya was in the hospital, and heard the news of her pregnancy for the second time¡ª ¡­ Lan Xinya''s pregnancy made the Meng family very happy. The next day, even Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan learned about the pregnancy of their adopted daughter from the two elders of the Meng family. After thinking about it, Lan Weicheng called the Lan family in Tianshui Village, Qingyang County, intending to tell his cousin and his wife the news. After all, it was their biological daughter who was pregnant, which is no small matter. Before when Xinya got married, she didn''t invite her cousin and her husband. Lan Weicheng was actually very angry at that time, but thinking of the wedding at that time, he didn''t want to show off his face. Later, he told his cousin and his wife about the situation afterwards. Although Lan Weicheng could hear that cousin Shengli was very disappointed on the phone, in the end, cousin Shengli didn''t say anything, but just replied that he understood. Lan Weicheng understood that the cousin and his wife were very disappointed in Xinya. However, a few days later, he received another call from his cousin, saying that he had transferred 3,000 yuan to Xinya at the post office, and asked Lan Weicheng to help transfer the money. At that time, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang really didn''t have much money in their hands. They gave almost all of their savings as Shushu''s dowry a month ago. So the money earned by the fried chicken shop in a month, the husband and wife discussed it, and took out 3,000 yuan to transfer to Xinya. They didn''t mean to treat the two daughters favorably in the dowry. It''s Xinya and Shushu''s two daughters'' attitudes towards them, which are really different... (end of this chapter) Chapter 330: no the same? Chapter 330 is different? Lan Weicheng called Lan''s house in Tianshui Village, but no one answered the phone. Looking at the number he wrote in the phone book, Lan Weicheng was sure that he had dialed it correctly, so now the eldest nephew may be out for work and not at home. Lan Weicheng plans to fight again at night. Lan Weicheng had no way to contact his cousin directly, so he could only relay the news through his eldest nephew. Fortunately, because of the business of Lan Shengli and his wife, a landline phone was installed at home a few months ago, which made it easy for Lan Weicheng to contact. ¡­ Lan Xinya''s side, ever since the Meng family learned about her pregnancy, they were very concerned about her physical condition. Before, although Meng Heng didn''t support Lan Xinya''s going out to do business, he wouldn''t stop her either. But now, the daughter-in-law is pregnant with a child, what if she gets tired or bumps outside and hurts the child? So Meng Heng discussed with Lan Xinya, hoping that she would not work so hard and take care of her body more. When Lan Xinya heard Meng Heng''s words, she felt a little furious on the spot! "I don''t work. After the child is born, he will have to spend money to eat, drink, and drink. We can''t live a tight life and treat the child harshly, right?" Meng Heng disagreed with Lan Xinya''s words. "Is our family so short of money? It''s not difficult for me to support the family with my own allowance, and my parents only have one son. After we have children, they will also subsidize us. Even if you don''t work, the family can afford it! " What Meng Heng said is the truth. He joined the army at the age of sixteen, and over the past ten years, he has already saved a lot of money. Parents have more deposits. Even if he does not rely on his parents, it is enough to support his family. But in Lan Xinya''s eyes, his savings seemed so pitifully small that it was difficult for him to eat! This made Meng Heng even doubt sometimes, is he really so incompetent? Is my family really that poor? Although Meng''s family can''t compare with the Lan''s family in business, it''s not that they can''t afford to have children, right? Lan Xinya is actually not an ambitious woman. In the past, what she dreamed of the most was to be a gentle and caring woman beside a man. It''s a pity that Gu Cheng has a change of heart. Marrying Meng Heng is because of the status of the Meng family. But the Meng family has status, but no money. The "rich" in Lan Xinya''s heart is not the few thousand yuan salary that Meng Heng has saved for ten years. It''s not the "coffin book" worth tens of thousands in the hands of the two elders of the Meng family. Thinking that the money the Meng family had saved for decades was only about the same as her own dowry, Lan Xinya felt that the Meng family was really poor. Poverty is not enough to make her feel safe. So she can only rely on her own ability to make money. But now, the pregnancy has disrupted Lan Xinya''s money-making plan, making it impossible for her to focus on making money. But it''s impossible for her to stop doing business! Almost all of her money was used to buy goods, and the capital was on those watches. If she didn''t do business, would she let the watches fall into her hands? So Lan Xinya sternly rejected Meng Heng''s kind suggestion to her. "My body, I have my own measure." After finishing speaking, she pursed her lips tightly and struggled for a moment, then spoke again. "When I am about to give birth, I will find a teller in advance to go to the counter to work for me." Lan Xinya thinks so. Seeing that he couldn''t persuade his wife, Meng Heng had no choice but to let it go. But because the daughter-in-law was pregnant, after that, Meng Heng came back to take care of her daughter-in-law whenever he was free. Hush and inquire every day, for fear that the daughter-in-law is not feeling well. ¡­ A few days after Lan Weicheng learned of the news of Lan Xinya''s pregnancy, Lan Weicheng and his wife Xu Shan came to Meng''s house to visit their adopted daughter. This time, Lan Weicheng also brought the 3,000 yuan dowry money that his cousin and his wife asked him to help hand over. In addition, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan added another two thousand to their adopted daughter, so that Lan Xinya would take care of her body after she became pregnant, and save the money to buy food and nourish her body. The matter of Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan taking money was seen by Meng Heng. Before, Meng Heng always thought that just like what his wife Lan Xinya said, after the adoptive parents of the Lan family found their biological daughter, they treated her very harshly and favored her in various ways. But now, the eccentric adoptive parents just took 5,000 yuan over? Although 3,000 of it was given by Xinya¡¯s biological parents, 2,000 was given by her adoptive parents to let Xinya take care of her body¡­ Judging from the prices outside, how precious a body does it take to spend two thousand dollars? Moreover, Meng Heng remembered that his wife said that her biological parents were in a remote village, and because they had three sons, they did not kiss her. But looking at it now, with the income of a rural family, how could it be possible to spend 3,000 yuan as a dowry for an unmarried daughter? I am afraid that the three sons have worked their best to scrape together the money! When they got married, Meng Heng didn''t know that Lan Weicheng gave Lan Xinya a dowry of 10,000 yuan. Meng Heng always thought that the reason why his daughter-in-law had the capital to go out to do business was because she was born in the Lan family that was engaged in business, and her own ability. Meng Heng was very puzzled. What he saw with his own eyes seemed to be completely different from what his wife said! ? But Lan Xinya didn''t know what Meng Heng was thinking at the moment. All she had in her eyes was the five thousand yuan that Lan Weicheng handed over. Lan Xinya did not expect that her biological parents in the countryside would come up with 3,000 yuan. But thinking that her second brother who is related to her by blood is a doctor, and the third brother helps others raise pigs, so they should also get some salary. Maybe the biological parents got the money from their sons because they were afraid that they would lose face if they took money? Lan Xinya no longer delved into the origin of the money, and she was very happy to have an extra five thousand yuan in her hand. At this moment, Lan Xinya once again felt the security of being rich. With money, she will feel at ease in her heart. So, Lan Xinya, who originally planned to stick to her watch counter until she gave birth, changed her mind. She hired a teller to sell the goods, and she rested comfortably at home. This is the confidence of being rich! Seeing that his daughter-in-law is willing to raise the baby at home, Meng Heng''s heart is relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, and didn''t think much about his daughter-in-law''s biological parents and adoptive parents. But at this moment, Meng Heng realized that maybe his wife was right, his family was really poor. The daughter-in-law''s natal family was able to take out 5,000 yuan in one shot, which was more than what he had saved after serving in the army for ten years! It¡¯s no wonder Xinya insists on going into business to earn money to support her family¡­ Before marriage, Meng Heng felt that he could be regarded as a young talent in the circle. He had already become an officer at a young age, and was looked up to by many people. There were countless girls outside who wanted to introduce him to a blind date. After getting married, Meng Heng gradually became suspicious of his own superiority under the performance of his daughter-in-law''s words and attitude. Is my previous self feeling too good about myself? (end of this chapter) Chapter 331: hot Chapter 331 Hot Entering September, recently there is a TV series "Slaying Demon Records" on TV at 7:30 every night on Channel 1. One episode will be played every night, and the replay will be played at 12 noon the next day. In the past, there were programs broadcast on TV, but they were all movies with simple plots and cross talk storytelling. In this era, a few movies are played in a loop every week, and the people watch it over and over again. Now that there is a new drama, it is natural to pass it on to ten or ten to a hundred. In just a few days, if there is a TV at home, every time "Slaying Monsters" is broadcast, the TV will be full of people! In big cities, there are many people who buy TVs, and basically the whole family sits together to watch them. In small cities, TV has not yet been popularized, and very few people can afford it, so some people are kind enough to simply move the TV to the yard. At night, neighbors gathered in front of the TV to watch "Slaying Monsters". People who go to work, after a day''s work, watch TV dramas to relax. The younger teenagers and girls are infected by the narrow sense of male and female protagonists in Monster Slayer, and they also have a heart of chivalry. The younger children, seeing all kinds of monsters being subdued by the protagonist, clapped their hands and shouted, laughing, "Brother Ranger is so powerful! Sister Fairy''s spells are so powerful!" In short, the TV series "Monster Slaying Record" has become a word-of-mouth and hotly discussed existence among the people! The episodes of "Slaying Demons" are not long, each episode is forty minutes, and there are only sixteen episodes in total. It is different from the TV series in the later generations that are casually forty or fifty episodes, and even have a hundred episodes. The water injection rate of today''s TV dramas is zero, and every picture and every line must have its meaning of existence. Therefore, although there are only 16 episodes in the TV series, many plots have been performed, and each episode is a story with something to watch. Sixteen episodes of the TV series took nearly a year from filming to editing! After the 16-episode TV series "Slaying Monsters" ended, many viewers were still unsatisfied. In addition, when "Monster Killing Record" was broadcast, they were occasionally busy with various things, and they couldn''t watch it in front of the TV in time every day, so some people hadn''t watched some of the plots, so it was quite a pity. However, good news came soon, "Slaying Demons" will be rebroadcasted on TV next month! Different from some movies that are played repeatedly on one day every week, the drama "Slaying Monsters" is expected to be played once a month. At the TV station, the senior leaders of the station felt that after all, a drama with such a big response appeared, and they must satisfy the public''s demand for watching TV dramas! But because of the copyright of the TV series, the TV station has to pay the broadcast copyright fee every time it is played. Fortunately, Lan Shu, who invested in this drama, is the program producer of their station, so the station can use this relationship to obtain the rights to broadcast the TV series at a preferential price. When "Monster Killer" was broadcast, Lan Shu''s investment in TV dramas began to make money, and at the same time, "Yunrou toilet paper" as an investor of Monster Killer became a well-known brand among the people. In addition, even though there are many brands of toilet paper on the market today, the ''famous brand'' recognized by the public is still the ''Yunrou'' brand! For a while, because of the benefits of advertising, when people in big and small cities everywhere buy toilet paper and sanitary napkins, their first choice must be ''Yunrou''! Because of the public''s demand for ''Yunrou'' toilet paper and sanitary napkins, the Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory in Qingyang County, at the suggestion of Factory Director Zhu and the decision of Lan Shu, placed an order with Linjiang Machinery Factory again. Order, purchase of machines for the production of toilet paper rolls. At the same time, in foreign machine factories, Mark is about to send new sanitary napkin production machines to Qingyang County¡ª ¡­ On the other hand, apart from "Slaying the Demon", Lan Shu''s Blue Star Film and Television Company, which is about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, has a short TV series "A Family", and the filming progress is already more than halfway. It has only been less than two months since the filming of this drama started, but because the subject matter is down-to-earth, as long as you rent a house in the county or in the countryside, you can start filming, so the progress is relatively fast. It is estimated that the filming will be completed in another two months. The situation of editing while filming can be broadcast on TV before the New Year. After the success of "Demon Killing Record", the TV station learned that Lan Shu had invested in another TV series. Before the filming of the TV series was finished, the leader of the TV station had already greeted her. When the new drama is filmed, tell the station as soon as possible, and the station will schedule it for broadcast. For the new drama, Lan Shu plans to use Yunshu Clothing Factory as the advertiser in the commercials before and after the episode. She has even planned to let the plainly dressed actors in the play wear exquisite and fashionable clothes in the advertisement, and then say a few words about the advertisement to promote the clothing brand ''Yun Shu''. Such a sense of contrast will definitely make the audience firmly remember how beautiful the clothes of "Yunshu Brand" are! In addition to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama "One Family", the actors of another historical costume drama "Da Ming" have also completed the training before filming. The shooting will officially start in half a month, and it is expected to be played in the second half of next year. Lan Shu has been busy with the affairs of the film and television company recently, probably because she is too tired, so she feels sleepy every day, and her food intake has also increased a lot without knowing it. When she came back to her senses, Lan Shu found that she seemed to be a little fatter than the previous two months. The small waist before was not so obvious now. I''m going to lose weight... she said to herself. As a result, on the weekend of the next day, Lan Shu slept until almost noon. After getting up, she finished washing and went downstairs. Before she reached the living room on the first floor, when she was standing on the stairs, she could smell the faint smell of mutton soup coming from the kitchen downstairs. The taste of mutton soup, which was originally warming the body and stomach, burst into the nose at this time, and Lan Shu''s first reaction was not to run to the kitchen to fill a bowl of soup, but to roll and feel uncomfortable in her stomach! Afterwards, she couldn''t bear it any longer. She held on to the railing of the stairs with one hand, covered her mouth with the other, and retched unbearably¡ª Although she didn''t vomit out anything during this vomit, due to physiological reasons when she vomited, she burst into tears. In the kitchen, hearing her retching, Xiao Bai walked out quickly with a worried expression on his face. Following Xiaobai is Aunt Man who works as a nanny at home. "Miss Lan, what''s wrong, vomiting so hard?" Aunt Man said, she seemed to think of something, showing a surprised expression¡ª¡ª "Miss Lan, are you... pregnant?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 332: plan Chapter 332 Program "Pregnant?" The word "pregnant?" came to Lan Shu''s ears, and she was really taken aback! Xiao Bai was startled when he heard Aunt Man''s words. But then, a strong emotion of joy rushed to my heart¡ª "Lanshu! You''re pregnant!" Xiaobai''s words are not a question, but an affirmation! He didn''t know where the confidence came from that made him so sure. But he just felt that Lan Shu must be pregnant! Whether she was pregnant or not, when Lan Shu found out that she had a vomiting reaction due to the smell of mutton soup, she had already guessed. But guessing is guessing. She has no experience in pregnancy, so she still needs to go to the hospital for a checkup. Before going, even though the mutton soup was undrinkable, Xiao Bai would not let his daughter-in-law go hungry. He made two poached eggs for Lan Shu, and after eating a little, they waited for Master Zhang to drive over before they got into the car and went to the hospital. In the afternoon, after some examinations in the hospital, the doctor finally gave a conclusion. "Congratulations, you are indeed pregnant. The fetus is three months old and is developing well. The morning sickness reaction is due to the increase in hormones in the body. It will gradually improve after a while." After hearing what the doctor said, Lan Shu was still a little at a loss. Unexpectedly, she was actually pregnant... Looking up at Xiaobai, who has just grown up and is full of juvenile aura and joyful face, Lan Shu is in a complicated mood. This child came too suddenly, and she was not ready to be a mother herself. And the father is only 18 years old this year, no matter how you look at it, he looks unreliable... But since the child came, Lan Shu also readily accepted it. She was even thinking about reducing her workload and taking good care of her body. Although the month is still young, she can continue to work without being affected, but Lan Shu is worried that the original workload may make her body too tired and affect the growth and development of the fetus. The fetus is only ten months in the womb. Now eat more snacks, focus on nutrition, and have enough rest time. The fetus will also be healthier. After birth, the resistance will be stronger and the body will be less likely to get sick. So after Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went back to their residence, the first thing they did was to write a plan for raising a baby. The daily food should pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and they must eat fruits. I just want my child to be healthy. ¡­ The news of Lanshu''s pregnancy was quickly informed by Xiaobai to both parents. The Gu family, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were very happy when they learned that they were going to be grandparents soon. The next day, the two asked for leave and brought various ingredients to Chang''an Road. Now Xiaobai and Lanshu live in No. 99 Chang''an Road. The newly bought house is relatively large. After the house is bought, it needs simple cleaning and renovation, so they haven''t lived in it yet. In addition, Lan Shu is pregnant now, so it is not suitable to live in the house that has just been painted, so she and Xiao Bai live in the house they bought at first. After Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo arrived, they discovered that Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan from the Lan family were also there. The two of them also learned that their daughter was pregnant from their son-in-law, so they came to see their daughter specially today. As for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang who are doing business in Linjiang City, Xiaobai also notified them. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were very happy to hear the news on the phone, but because they were far away, they couldn''t come for the time being. They planned to wait for the Chinese New Year when their daughter was a month old and came to take care of her. At this time, the parents of Gu and Lan brought all kinds of food, such as snacks, chicken, fish, pigs, and beef. It''s a pity that Lan Shu''s current situation is in a period when she is sensitive to smells. When the smell of meat makes her feel like vomiting, she can only eat some vegetables and fruits, and light food. Fortunately, she can eat some of the cakes brought by the elders of both parties. It''s just that the pastries bought outside are high in sugar, so she can''t eat more. If she wants to eat it in the future, it''s better to make it herself. Although Lan Shu has no experience in pregnancy, she also knows that too much sugar intake is not good for the development of the fetus. At noon, instead of eating at the same table with her family, Lan Shu asked Aunt Man to make a light vegetarian meal and ate it upstairs by herself. As for the smell in the kitchen downstairs, she couldn''t smell it at all. Seeing Lan Shu''s pregnancy is so difficult, both parents feel a little distressed, but they can''t do anything. I can only ask my daughter/daughter-in-law to rest more, and then leave without disturbing. But before leaving, Lan Shu heard from Xu Shan that Lan Xinya also found out she was pregnant last month. Calculating the time, the due dates of the two of them are about the same. Xu Shan even lamented that the two daughters were born on the same day, and their children might also be born on the same day. Hearing this, Lan Shu didn''t want her child and Lan Xinya''s child to be born on the same day. The original owner of her body and Lan Xinya were born on the same day in the same year, so they were wronged and exchanged lives. Lan Shu''s own child, she must take good care of it, and there must be no accidents! ¡­ In the next month, Lan Shu lived a very regular daily life. Get up early and go to bed early, eat three meals on time, and mix meat and vegetables. In addition to regular daily activities, she also made a special trip to the hospital and asked the doctor about precautions for raising a baby and what vitamins she needs to supplement. Vitamins are not supplemented indiscriminately, but folic acid is something that helps the growth and development of the fetus. Although folic acid is best eaten before pregnancy and in the first three months after pregnancy, it is also somewhat effective when taken later. During pregnancy, she was prone to sleepiness, sleep time increased, and food intake increased. In the fourth month of pregnancy, Lan Shu''s original small waist completely disappeared! The lower abdomen is slightly swollen, but because the temperature is getting colder and wearing thick clothes, there is no sign of pregnancy in the figure. But Lan Shu found that when she went out, she always put her hands on her stomach intentionally or unintentionally. This unconscious instinct to protect her stomach made Lan Shu suddenly realize the fragility of the child and the instinctive protection of the child as a mother. In the past month, although Xiao Bai still has to go to school, every night, he will call Lan Shu to ask about Lan Shu''s physical condition. And talk about what the two sides did today. Regarding Lan Shu''s matter, even if it was a trivial matter, Xiao Bai listened carefully. And Lan Shu learned from Xiaobai that Xiaobai has been preparing for the graduation exam recently. It was originally a four-year course for medical students, but now Xiaobai has only been in school for more than a year, and he has already planned to graduate¡ª At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly realized the importance of IQ and talent. Hope her child can inherit Xiaobai''s IQ and become smarter in the future. Although it has only been a month since she found out she was pregnant, and her belly still hasn''t shown yet, Lan Shu is already looking forward to the birth of her child. She has already achieved something in her career, and now she has a child, which seems pretty good~ Today is an update. I have an exam tomorrow morning. I plan to make a surprise attack at night. I hope the exam goes well tomorrow~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 333: unbearable Chapter 333 Difficult At the end of autumn, the wind is cool and the beginning of winter is coming soon, but the weather in Kyoto is still warm. Entering November, it has been more than two months since Lan Xinya found out she was pregnant. Lan Xinya, who is more than four months pregnant, has a bigger belly than normal. Besides, due to recuperating at home, lack of activities, and Meng Heng taking care of her food and drinks, Lan Xinya''s originally slender figure has gained a lot of weight now! Her belly, which is slightly larger than the actual month, is also caused by gaining weight. In the beginning, because she was pregnant and had money in her hands, Lan Xinya was really at ease when she lived a leisurely life. For two consecutive months, after deducting the counter fee and the teller''s salary, the watch counter business can only earn more than 100 yuan a month, which makes her quite dissatisfied! Even when she went to the counter to guard, she could earn more than 200 points a month. She felt that the sales ability of the tellers she hired was so poor that she was not as good as herself! Lan Xinya didn''t know, because the new pager of Xinchuang Electronic Information Company has recently been upgraded, with the function of displaying the time in real time. A cheap pager only costs two to three hundred yuan. Watches with only a single time display function cost more than one hundred, and almost two hundred. In contrast, people are not stupid, and those who are capable of course have to spend more money to buy pagers! Therefore, the business of watches is worsening day by day. Lan Xinya''s watch counter can now earn one or two hundred yuan a month, thanks to the sales skills of the tellers. Otherwise, if she were to guard the counter by herself, there would be fewer sales! Speaking of Xinchuang Electronic Information Company, in addition to launching a new pager two months ago, Xinchuang Electronics also developed a new type of mobile communication device called a ''mobile phone'', which attracted the attention of too many people. This phone is half the size of the ''big brother''! It''s not as big as a palm, but its function is no worse than that of its big brother. In addition to making calls, the mobile phone can even store a limited number of phone numbers, which is more convenient for users to make calls. The price of mobile phones ranges from more than 4,000 to more than 6,000, and the cheapest ones are less than half of the price of "big brother". Therefore, people''s pursuits have been transferred to their yearning for mobile phones. Some people even say that if you can¡¯t afford a mobile phone from a start-up company, you should buy a pager from a start-up company. They are all produced by the same company, and it will save face when you take them out. In this way, when the start-up company¡¯s pager is hot, it has even gradually replaced the role of the watch... ¡­ At the same time, it was different from Lan Xinya''s ''bloated'' figure and irritable mood. Lan Shu''s stomach is more than four months old. Recently, her vomiting reaction to the smell of meat has eased a lot. Although she still can''t eat greasy pork or mutton, she can eat a little bit of beef and chicken. Since Xiaobai successfully graduated from the school half a month ago, he has not done research with the team of the school''s professors, seniors, and seniors. Instead, I took a long vacation for myself, and planned to spend more time with my daughter-in-law and take more care of her. During this period, Lan Shu began to eat meat, and her three meals a day gradually became more abundant. Because she ate a lot during pregnancy, she also gained weight. It''s just that her weight gain just makes her body look rounder and her abdomen has a radian. After the regular check-up, the doctor said that the current situation is just right, and being overweight is not a good thing, and it is easy to suffer from some diseases that appear during pregnancy. ¡­ When Lan Shu was five months pregnant, it was already winter. In mid-December, the weather in Kyoto has dropped sharply in recent days! Some pedestrians on the street have already put on cotton clothes. Lan Shu didn''t expect that in just one month, from the slight curvature of her abdomen at four months to five months, she has already lifted her spherical belly with vigor! Although the spherical belly is not very big, it is really a novel experience for Lan Shu. Especially half a month ago, she felt the movement of the fetus in her stomach. The feeling of obvious fetal movement made her realize that there was really a baby in her stomach who would meet her in a few months. people. From the fifth month, the fetal movement became more obvious. Sometimes when she put her hand on her stomach, she could feel the little fetus inside gently kicking her palm. After finishing the regular check-up for this month, Lan Shu learned from the doctor that the fetus in her belly weighs only one catty, small and fragile. In the next few months, the fetus will be in the stage of rapid growth. At that time, as a pregnant mother, she may suffer a lot! Lan Shu didn''t take it seriously at first, thinking that she was raised well during pregnancy, what hardship could she suffer? But half a month later, she found that she began to have a slight leg pain. Such slight pain became worse when she was six months pregnant! That kind of pain is the soreness of the bones, which wears down her nerves for a long time and is quite tormenting. In addition, the skin and flesh on one of her legs felt numb, and when she pinched it with her hands, she didn''t even feel pain, as if this leg was no longer her own¡ª Discovering this situation, Lan Shu wanted to go to the hospital for an obstetric examination, but was stopped by Xiao Bai. Xiaobai was a little helpless. "Daughter-in-law, have you forgotten what I study?" "Study...medicine." Lan Shu answered in a daze. She will never forget. noob:¡­ Although he studied medicine, he also has an understanding of other aspects of medicine, not even inferior to ordinary doctors in hospitals~! Besides, after learning that Lan Shu was pregnant, Xiaobai changed his direction of self-study in his spare time to gynecology and pediatrics. So there is no need for Lan Shu to go to the hospital for the current physical situation, he has a solution. "You are a manifestation of vitamin deficiency, and the iron content in the blood will decrease during pregnancy, and symptoms of iron deficiency anemia will appear, which will also cause abnormalities in the body." "It seems that the combination of the usual three meals is not enough. The nutrients in some foods cannot be fully absorbed by the body, so if you want to supplement vitamins, you may have to rely on medical methods to refine them." After Xiaobai finished speaking, he helped his daughter-in-law upstairs to rest, and then talked to Aunt Man, the full-time nanny at home, and asked Aunt Man to prepare some liver food recently, as well as shrimp, kelp, etc. to eat every week Several times, add calcium. After explaining the situation to the nanny in detail, Xiaobai and Lanshu talked and went back to school. Regarding the extraction of vitamins, he already had some theoretical ideas a while ago, and now he just waits to go to the laboratory to complete the theory. So when Lan Shu was seven months pregnant and her waist and buttocks were in pain, Xiao Bai came back from medical school with his multivitamins. It is not difficult to extract vitamins, but the difficulty is multi-vitamins. You only need to eat one kind to supplement the multivitamins your body needs, so Xiaobai''s research was delayed for some time. (end of this chapter) Chapter 334: Must find out! Chapter 334 must be investigated! With multivitamins, Lan Shu took them for half a month, and the pain burden caused to her body during pregnancy gradually eased a lot. The body is getting heavier, and the curvature of the abdomen has become larger, but because the vitamins can keep up, she is not as difficult as before. The changes she felt personally made Lan Shu very concerned about the multivitamins developed by Xiaobai. "I never knew that women would feel so uncomfortable when they were pregnant. Since multivitamins are useful and can help the fetus develop better, they should be promoted!" Lan Shu said. "While helping the fetus in the future, it can also make other women suffer less during pregnancy." Lan Shu hopes that Xiaobai''s research results can help more people. For this, Xiaobai has already made arrangements. "Don''t worry, after the successful research and development of multivitamins, my mentor helped me apply for a patent for pharmaceutical research and development, and now I have obtained a pharmaceutical production license. I will soon be able to mass-produce it and sell it in various hospitals." Speaking of this matter, Xiao Bai inevitably mentioned another matter. "The instructor said, because I developed the multivitamin alone, and I have a patent, so any multivitamin sold in the future will have my patent fee." After finishing speaking, Xiao Bai smiled at Lan Shu, "It seems like I got a windfall?" Lan Shu was startled. She found that if Xiaobai didn''t go into business, he would focus on other aspects, such as investing in factories and companies. There is also research and development in medicine, in fact, Xiaobai can live a much better life than many people! Thinking of Xiaobai''s original fate in the book, he was doing business affairs that he was not good at, and was trampled under by Gu Cheng in the end, Lan Shu felt distressed. Fortunately, I appeared, met Xiaobai, guided Xiaobai to choose what he liked, and changed his original destiny... Judging from the current situation, Xiaobai and Gu Cheng should no longer go head-to-head and win or lose, right? Even if Gu Cheng really wanted to embarrass Xiaobai, the current Xiaobai, as well as himself, have the ability to fight against Gu Cheng. So Lan Shu no longer thinks of Gu Cheng''s threat as a threat. Sure enough, only if you have the ability, can you not be afraid of any problems. She will continue to make her abilities stronger and stronger, to the point where Gu Cheng can''t afford to offend her! But at this moment, Lan Shu doesn''t know that Xiao Bai has collected evidence that Gu Cheng hired people to assassinate him in the past year... ¡­ Qingyang County, Law Enforcement Brigade. The New Year is approaching, and the county has been rectifying order recently. Captain Chen Dehua led his subordinates to patrol various places in the county. Encountered some local ruffians disturbing the people, Chen Dehua asked his subordinates to arrest the ruffians in time! Protecting the personal and property safety of the people is what they should do. Among the captured ruffians, a ruffian named ''Lao Liu'' secretly confessed to one thing, and wanted to pay for his merits, so Captain Chen let him go. Lao Liu said, this matter is not a trivial matter, it is about human life! That''s why Captain Chen became interested and listened. It turned out that two years ago, Lao Liu did something with his boss, a ruffian called ''bald head''. Five or six of them sneaked up on a young boy from behind in the suburbs of Qingyang County, smashed his head and threw him into the river. inside. According to what Lao Liu said, although he followed him at the time, he didn''t do anything because he was afraid to hide behind, but the boy was injured and fell into the river, so he definitely couldn''t survive! After hearing this, Chen Dehua immediately frowned! Murder must be strictly dealt with! As the captain of the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Team, he will never let the murderer go unpunished! So Chen Dehua began to investigate this matter. From the arrest of the ''bald head'' and the other gangsters who were confessed by the sixth child, to the investigation of a family in Qingyang County whose son of a similar age disappeared two years ago. As a result, no one was lost during the period mentioned by the sixth child in the county. In order to reduce their guilt, the bald-headed gangsters confessed that they followed orders. Some people paid a lot of money for their lives, and it was not their intention to harm others. At this time, Chen Derong suddenly remembered that the leaders of the county asked them to search for the whereabouts of a young man from Kyoto two years ago. Could it be that the murdered teenager was the person the leader asked them to find? If so, then the boy¡¯s whereabouts this time may be¡ª Chen Dehua immediately sorted out the information about this incident and reported it to the past. The leader who sent someone to look for Gu Jue in Qingyang County was slightly taken aback when he received the news¡ª Cui Youdang is a native of Qingyang County. He works as a small leader in a government agency and is about to retire this year. Cui Youdang still remembers that two years ago, a colleague who had a good relationship with him when he was young, and later left the county to go to high school, suddenly returned to the county from Kyoto and asked him to help find his son. Cui Youdang can still clearly remember how anxious Gu Anguo and his wife were at that time! But in the end he tried his best, but he couldn''t find anyone. Now we have a clue¡ª Cui Youdang didn''t know that Gu Anguo had found his son. He just felt that since he had clues about the situation two years ago, he should give an explanation to the family members of the missing person. So Cui Youdang immediately called his old colleague. ¡­ Kyoto, Committee X, Gu Anguo was reading a document in the office when he suddenly received a call from an internal line. After the call came, Gu Anguo realized that it was his old colleague in Qingyang County, Cui Youdang. Just as Gu Anguo was about to ask Brother Cui how he was doing, he heard Cui Youdang lamenting on the phone, "An Guo, there should be a clue to the whereabouts of your missing son this time. " As he spoke, Cui Youdang told Gu Anguo exactly what the gangster explained to him after the law enforcement team caught the gangster below¡ª Gu Anguo first heard Cui Youdang talk about his missing son, and wanted to explain that his son had been found. In the end, I heard that the disappearance of my son was not an accident, but someone ordered it! Who the hell? Who wants to kill his son? ! This incident is definitely not a trivial matter. If the other party can hit Gu Jue once, there may be a second time! Gu Anguo has experienced the disappearance of his son and no news from him. He and his wife will never be able to bear a second blow. In addition to their husband and wife, the old man was also in a very sad mood at that time. His originally strong body seemed to have deteriorated a lot in just a few months. And now they are not the only ones, thinking that now that his son is married, he will have a child soon, Gu Anguo must not let his son have any more accidents! The originally happy family cannot be irreparably changed. So this matter must be investigated! Only by finding out the situation and killing all dangers can his son be safe. (end of this chapter) Chapter 335: give face Chapter 335 Give face After all, Gu Anguo came from Qingyang County. Although he has been away for more than 20 years, he still has some connections in Qingyang County. So after receiving a call from Cui Youdang and learning about the situation, Gu Anguo first informed his son that he survived the catastrophe and recovered from his amnesia. I also ask Brother Cui to investigate the matter carefully, and it is best to find out who is behind the scenes! In addition to Cui Youdang, Gu Anguo then made two more phone calls to contact his other friends in Qingyang County. Regarding the person behind the murder of his son, he needs to investigate in multiple ways! In addition to entrusting the relationship investigation by himself, Gu Anguo did not hide the news about Cui Youdang from his wife and father-in-law. After getting off work at night, Gu Anguo went home and saw his wife, and immediately explained the situation. Then Wei Qiushuang called with a gloomy look and told her father about it. ¡­ The compound in District Z of Kyoto, Wei''s house. Wei Jin received a phone call from his daughter, and learned from the phone that the disappearance and amnesia of his grandson in Qingyang County was not an accident, but someone ordered him to murder him! Wei Jin has always done things in an open and aboveboard manner in his life, and he is furious in his heart when he sees the most insidious things! But soon, he calmed down again. Wei Jin was thinking, who is going to kill his grandson? Is the other party having a grudge against his grandson Gu Jue? Or do you have a grudge against yourself? Even have enmity with daughter and son-in-law? Thinking about it this way, the scope of people to be investigated is very large! Wei Jin thought deeply, there are people who disagree with him on weekdays, but they are all old guys. Even if there are conflicts, they are small things, and they will not go to the point of secretly harming children and grandchildren. Otherwise, his daughter wouldn''t have grown up so smoothly. So did the daughter and son-in-law offend anyone? What Wei Jin doubted the most was whether his grandson Gu Jue had offended anyone? Just recruiting people to take revenge? Thinking that Gu Jue was praised by many people for being too good in the compound before, and when he was praised, it was natural that other families would compare their children and grandchildren with their own little grandson. Maybe it was at that time that some people couldn''t see their grandson being too kind, so they held a grudge? Thinking about it this way, Wei Jin felt that the most likely problem was Gu Jue''s enemy! When the Wei family used their connections to investigate the truth of Gu Jue¡¯s murder in Qingyang County, it was not far from finding Gu Cheng¡¯s head... ¡­ In mid-January, half a month before the New Year, the year-end dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce was held before the year. For this dinner, both Lan Shu and Xiao Bai received invitations. One of the two is the boss of Xinchuang Electronic Information Company, and the other is the boss of Lan''s Pure Plant Cosmetics Company, Old Couple Crispy Fried Chicken Head Office, and LA High-end Wedding Dress Customization Company. Their status in the business district of Kyoto is enough to receive an invitation to the chamber of commerce dinner. Today, Lan Shu is seven months pregnant, and there are still more than two months before the due date. Since her belly got bigger and bigger, her activities became more and more difficult. She often couldn''t walk too much and felt tired. Originally, Lan Shu didn''t plan to go to this dinner party, but after Li Jiaojiao invited her personally, Lan Shu decided to go. Firstly, it was because of Li Jiaojiao''s invitation, and secondly, she should give Chairman Li some face. Lan Shu decided to go, and Xiao Bai naturally accompanied her. It is too hard for the daughter-in-law to have a big belly. If she is tired by then, then drive her home early. ¡­ On the evening of January 18, the dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce was held at the Kyoto Hotel. Master Zhang drove the car to the entrance of the restaurant, Xiaobai got out of the car first, then quickly went around to the other side of the car, opened the door, and helped Lan Shu get out of the car. Today, Lan Shu is wearing a black inner quilted woolen coat. Inside is a red mid-neck skirt sweater. The big skirt covers her bulging belly. This way of wearing is loose and comfortable, looks good and keeps warm. Because of the cold weather, Lan Shu also wore a pair of thick skin-colored leggings. Yunshu Garment Factory has released thick leggings this autumn, and even a fleece-lined version in winter. Although it is not as natural as the bare-legged artifact of later generations, it is already very rare with today''s technology. Once the stockings of this skin color are sold, they have become the favorite of most women, and the sales in direct sales stores across the country are quite good! Because of her pregnancy, Lan Shu wears socks that are specially made for her in the factory to protect her waist and belly, which can be worn even until the full month. As for the shoes, they were naturally ''taken'' from Li Jiaojiao''s custom-made shoe store, a pair of low-heeled mid-waist leather boots. Although Lan Shu is a shareholder of the shoe store, she always spends the money for shoes from the store herself. There must be rules in doing business. Only by setting an example can there be no mistakes in the accounts due to special reasons. Beside Lan Shu, Xiaobai was wearing a light gray suit and black leather shoes. This outfit instantly made Xiaobai look mature and stable with a youthful look. Every gesture of the young man carried an extraordinary aura, and Xiaobai''s handsome face was so handsome that he was absolutely eye-catching among the crowd. Attract the attention of the audience! Last winter, at the year-end dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Lan Shu was busy and was unable to attend. She was also absent from the mid-year dinner this summer because of something else. Although it has been more than a year since she participated in the activities of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, because Lan Shu can definitely be called a beautiful face, everyone in the circle of the Chamber of Commerce has never forgotten her and recognized her at a glance! Seeing the young and beautiful female boss who had a close relationship with the young master of the Gu family last summer, and now married to the young master of the Gu family and pregnant, many people in the circle felt that this matter was a match made in heaven. It''s a perfect fit together. However, the news of Lan Shu''s pregnancy was unknown to everyone before this. Now seeing Lan Shu with her big belly, everyone unconsciously put on a cautious attitude. At the originally lively business dinner, there was such a moment of silence. After that, the businessmen in the circle came forward and said to Young Master Gu, "Congratulations." Lan Weicheng came a little late today, and when he arrived at the dinner party, what he saw was the scene of his daughter and son-in-law surrounded by everyone. Seeing his daughter coming, Lan Weicheng couldn''t help feeling nervous! He was even thinking, what does the son-in-law think? His family has such a big belly, and they even came to the dinner party? Just as he was thinking, Lan Weicheng saw his other daughter with a big belly appearing in front of the gate of the banquet hall in the next second! Lan Xinya didn''t come here today because of Lan Weicheng''s relationship. At the mid-year dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce last summer, because of Lan Weicheng''s identity as a fake daughter, she was questioned and even treated with strange eyes. So she didn''t show up at the two dinner parties of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce last winter and this summer. And this time, she came here as a businessman in a legitimate way. No matter what, she also has a counter in Huamei Mall and is the boss. (end of this chapter) Chapter 336: why Chapter 336 Why? Now Lan Xinya also has a pregnant belly of more than seven months, both pregnant women, Lan Xinya is fatter than Lan Shu by two circles! Combined with the weather, Lan Xinya was wearing thick clothes and looked quite bloated. That is, Lan Weicheng can still recognize the daughter he raised since childhood. The other businessmen in the business circle present had no idea who Lan Xinya was! ? Lan Shu puffed out her belly, accompanied by Xiao Bai, and there was also someone beside Lan Xinya. When Meng Heng learned that his wife was coming to a dinner party today, he disagreed at first. He hoped that his wife could rest at home. But with Lan Xinya''s insistence, Meng Hengsheng was afraid that his wife''s anger would be bad for the child in her womb, so he followed her. Meng Heng didn''t expect that he would run into an acquaintance the moment he arrived. He and Gu Jue had trained together in the army before, and although they didn''t have a good relationship, they still knew each other. When Meng Heng looked at Gu Jue, Xiao Bai''s eyes also swept across Meng Heng. Through Meng Heng, he recognized that the woman next to Meng Heng was Lan Xinya, the adopted daughter of his father-in-law. As for Lan Xinya, Xiaobai knew that Lan Shu didn''t like her, so he just passed his eyes on Lan Xinya and ignored her. The appearance of Lan Xinya made some guests in the banquet hall discuss to some extent. "Who is this? Why don''t I have the impression that our chamber of commerce still has this number?" "I didn''t see it either. Based on my understanding of the members of the chamber of commerce, the other party should not be a member of our chamber of commerce!" "Perhaps a family member of a member?" "If it''s really a family member, it''s really..." Hearing the discussion of everyone present, Lan Xinya looked a little ugly. She is indeed not yet a member of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, but this time, she intends to join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. So Lan Xinya said what she wanted on the spot. "How do I become a member of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce? I want to join." Hearing that the woman with a big belly in front of her came here because of her reputation, everyone knew it. Someone asked, "You are doing business in Kyoto. What is the scale of your business now? How much money do you make?" No wonder others asked so clearly, every member of their Kyoto Chamber of Commerce must have a basic business ability assessment before joining the Chamber of Commerce. The Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is not something that anyone can join if they want to. Lan Xinya replied, "I opened a watch counter in Huamei Shopping Mall with an investment of 10,000 yuan. It has been in operation for half a year and has been profitable every month." Regarding how much money she earned, Lan Xinya did not say clearly. One to two hundred yuan a month''s profit, she was a little bit hard to say, so she covered it up vaguely. But her answer was obviously not satisfactory to everyone present. "The profitability of the watch counter is not very good. I opened a counter selling watches in Huaxia Mall, and now I earn at most three or four hundred yuan a month." Someone said. "The flow of people at Huamei Shopping Center is slightly worse than that of Huaxia Shopping Mall. The money making situation should not be more than that of your counter." "Look at it this way, this woman has been in business for half a year, and she can only earn more than 1,000 yuan. This standard is not enough to join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, right?" "I definitely can''t join. I wanted to join before. The requirement set by the Chamber of Commerce is that merchants with a monthly profit of more than 500 can join the Chamber of Commerce and become a member." "If you invest 10,000 yuan, you can''t earn 500 a month. You really don''t have any business acumen~!" "It''s not impossible to do the watch business, the main reason is that the amount of investment is too large. Generally, new households who do business really don''t know how to do this business..." Everyone whispered to each other, and in a few words, Lan Xinya''s business was worthless. As for her wanting to join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, it has also been discussed by everyone. According to the membership standards of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, she is not qualified! Hearing these voices of discussion, Lan Xinya''s expression turned ugly. On the side, although Lan Weicheng knew about his adopted daughter''s business, he never thought that Xinya would join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and become a member when she came this time. Xinya has only been in business for half a year, how can she have the confidence to think that she is qualified to join the chamber of commerce? Before Xinya made this decision, she didn''t even discuss it with herself! This made Lan Weicheng feel that the daughter he raised since he was a child has become so unfamiliar with him... Even so, Lan Weicheng couldn''t bear to see Xinya lose face in public, so he stepped forward, stood beside Lan Xinya, and said to everyone. "Everyone, I''m sorry, I didn''t have time to say it just now. This is my daughter. She has not been in business for a long time. She is still a newcomer in this circle. I hope everyone can take care of her." "So it''s Weicheng''s daughter~!" Among the guests, a businessman who had a good relationship with Lan Weicheng stood up from the crowd and said. The other party said, looking at Lan Xinya with somewhat incredulous eyes. "I didn''t expect Xinya''s niece to be married and still learning to run a business. However, Xinya''s current physical condition should go back to rest more." The person who said this also had good intentions. Although Lan Shu and Lan Xinya were both seven months pregnant, Lan Shu''s dress was exquisite and her figure looked like a protruding belly. Other than that, her mental outlook could be said to be different from that of ordinary people. No difference. But Lan Xinya is different. After she gained weight, her belly looked much bigger than Lanshu''s! As if giving birth at any moment. Because the other party didn''t know exactly how many months Lan Xinya was pregnant, I was afraid that the banquet was going on, and Lan Xinya was about to give birth¡ª That is too dangerous. Lan Xinya doesn''t appreciate other people''s concern. She looked directly at her adoptive father, "Dad, can''t I join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce?" Speaking this kind of words in public is really embarrassing for Lan Weicheng. Xinya''s business qualifications are indeed not up to standard, but what can he say? Lan Weicheng knew that Lan Xinya liked saving face very much, which made him immediately entangled. Compared with the truth, he also cared more about Xinya''s face. "Xinya... your physical condition, why don''t you go back and rest first?" Lan Weicheng persuaded. But since Lan Xinya came, she wasn''t going to leave as soon as she showed up. She scanned the crowd, and then saw Lan Shu who was also pregnant. Lan Xinya raised her hand and pointed at Lan Shu, "She also has a big belly, why can she attend the banquet and I can''t?" Why? As soon as this question was asked, many members of the chamber of commerce and their family members who came to the dinner party showed mocking expressions. After figuring out Lan Xinya''s identity, everyone knew that the pregnant woman who suddenly appeared at the banquet and wanted to join the chamber of commerce was Lan Weicheng''s adopted daughter who had been wronged since she was a child. They don''t discriminate against adopted daughters, but the news that Lan Xinya was dumped by Gu Cheng was unknown to everyone in the circle. (end of this chapter) Chapter 337: vicious mind Chapter 337 Vicious thoughts Generally, when a woman is dumped by a man, if she cares about her face, she will basically keep a low profile from then on. Everyone has never seen Lan Xinya work so hard to get in front of people! Now Lan Xinya asks why in public? She is just a woman that even Gu Cheng can''t control, and the biological daughter of the Lan family, Miss Lan Shu, is the real young master married to the Gu family! Different from Gu Cheng who was born to Gu Anguo''s late wife, Gu Jue is Mrs. Wei''s biological son! The only grandson of Mr. Wei in District J! Although Gu Cheng and Gu Jue are two brothers, both surnamed Gu, but in Kyoto, their identities and the power behind them are completely different in comparison! In addition to her status, Miss Lan Shu''s business in the capital, whether it is a cosmetics company or a fried chicken factory, can make at least over ten thousand in monthly profit. With the LA high-end wedding dress customization studio, customers who go there to customize wedding dresses are either rich or expensive. Through a wedding dress studio, the personal connections that Miss Lan has established are absolutely beyond imagination! So whether it is comparing marriage, assets, or connections, how can Lan Xinya compare with Miss Lan Shu? It''s all like this, how can Lan Xinya have the nerve to ask why? Because of this, everyone present laughed at Lan Xinya and looked down on her. Actually, before Lan Xinya wanted to compare herself with Miss Lan Shu, everyone did not underestimate her. But Lan Xinya''s overreaching makes people really look down on her. At this time, at the dinner party, the expressions of everyone did not need too many words to explain their answers to Lan Xinya''s question. Lan Xinya didn''t notice it for a while, but the face of Meng Heng beside her turned ugly instantly. Meng Heng found out for the first time that the daughter-in-law he married couldn''t speak like this! Although Meng Heng didn''t know much about the situation of the biological daughter of the Lan family, he also knew that the other party was married to Gu Jue! Meng Heng has self-knowledge, and Xinya and the other party cannot be compared in terms of marrying someone. Coupled with the fact that the other party is the biological daughter of the Lan family, the future wealth of the Lan family can be imagined, and it will definitely be given to the biological child. So Xinya will never be able to compare with the other party in terms of wealth. Facing the gazes of everyone at the scene, Meng Heng only felt ashamed and embarrassed. He wished he could drag his wife out of here immediately. But in the next second, Lan Xinya frowned, faced the eyes of everyone, and said loudly, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong? Because I have a big belly, I have to leave?" Seeing such a stupid woman with their own eyes, many people present didn''t even know what to say. They looked at Lan Weicheng with speechless and doubtful eyes. Lan Weicheng''s raised daughter, is that all? This made Lan Weicheng feel embarrassed. "Xinya, you..." Lan Weicheng looked at Lan Xinya, and was about to try to persuade him. But in the next second, his voice was interrupted by the voices of other people at the dinner party. "This is the dinner of our Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. You are an idler, and you are not qualified to participate. So your adoptive father asked you to leave, not because of your big belly." "Don''t say that you are Lan Weicheng''s daughter, and you are attending the dinner as a family member. Let alone whether you are born in the Lan family. Now that you are obviously married, you are just a splash of water, and come here as a family member. , that''s not appropriate either." "That''s right, when it comes to family members, it should be your man who has the ability. You come here as a family member. If this is not the case, it is inappropriate for you to appear at the dinner party of our Kyoto Chamber of Commerce!" Several members with high status in the chamber of commerce expressed their attitudes one after another. Lan Weicheng couldn''t refute these words. Because Lan Weicheng knows that this is the fact. Besides, Meng Heng took Lan Xinya away one step later, but found himself the target of many people''s attention. And this kind of staring is not a good thing, the sentence just now ''It should be your man who has the ability, you come here as a family member. ¡¯ It really hit him. Meng Heng frowned. He really has no skills in the mall, because he is not a person who messes around in the mall. Meng Heng has never been questioned in terms of ability, but now, under the eyes of everyone, his face is extremely embarrassing! Meng Heng was a little angry. This anger was not only because of being said incompetent in public, but also because of his daughter-in-law''s overreaching. But even if he is angry, because his wife is pregnant with a child, Meng Heng will not say a word against her. He knows that a woman''s pregnancy is hard and cannot be angry. So Meng Heng suppressed the anger in his heart and grabbed Lan Xinya''s wrist, "Let''s go, let''s leave." But he pulled Lan Xinya lightly, but he didn''t pull Lan Xinya away immediately. Lan Xinya stood firmly on the spot, facing everyone''s eyes, her hands trembling with anger! Before this, Lan Xinya didn''t know that there were high requirements for joining the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Her father never told her about it. She thought that as long as she did business in Kyoto, she could join the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. But now, my own thoughts have severely embarrassed myself! On the other hand, Lan Shu, who also has a big belly, was recognized by so many people at this dinner. This made Lan Xinya extremely unbalanced. Because I am not the biological daughter of the Lan family, so I am inferior to Lan Shu in every way? She looked at Lan Shu with hatred in her eyes! If Lan Shu hadn''t appeared from the beginning, she would have been the daughter of the Lan family all along, and everything in the Lan family was her own, so there wouldn''t be what the people in front of me said at the moment, "a daughter who is married off, is thrown out." water''! Probably because Lan Xinya''s venomous eyes were too obvious, Xiao Bai frowned slightly, and took half a step forward to block Lan Shu behind her. Although it feels good to be protected by her man, Lan Shu is definitely not the kind of little woman who depends on a man. Lan Xinya''s attitude towards her really displeased her, so she had to take a good look, what else could Lan Xinya do besides stare? So Lan Shu took Xiao Bai''s arm, walked out from behind him, stood beside Xiao Bai, and held his arm. She looked at Lan Xinya, looking directly at Lan Xinya''s eyes full of resentment, her face was calm. This extremely calm attitude made Lan Xinya feel even worse! At this moment, Lan Xinya was so upset that her anger went straight to her head. She couldn''t control it, and she directly said what was buried deep in her heart¡ª¡ª "Lan Shu! Why did you show up?! If it weren''t for you, I would be the only daughter of the Lan family, how could I be reduced to this point?!" Lan Xinya roared loudly, and most of the people in the banquet hall could hear her voice clearly. The voice came to the ears of everyone present. ? ? ? The adopted daughter of the Lan family doesn''t want Lan Weicheng and his wife to find their biological daughter back? This idea is too vicious! Hearing Lan Xinya''s roar, Lan Weicheng froze in disbelief! Even though he already knew that the relationship between Xinya and Shushu was not compatible, he never thought that Xinya had such thoughts deep in his heart! (end of this chapter) Chapter 338: everyone Chapter 338 Everyone belongs to you In the past, Lan Weicheng felt that Xinya was the daughter he and his wife raised since they were young. After they got back their biological daughter, they would not treat Xinya badly just because Xinya was someone else''s child. Lan Weicheng and his wife reached a consensus that they would treat Xinya as their own daughter. But now, Xinya is resentful that their biological daughter was found back! ? Resent Shushu for taking her place? In Lan Weicheng''s heart, not long after he met Shu Shu''s father and daughter, he regarded Shu Shu as his pride and the pride of the Lan family! His proud daughter was hated by Xinya so much, Lan Weicheng couldn''t accept this result. In front of all the business colleagues present, in front of Shushu, Lan Weicheng had to make a statement! This statement is not only because of others, not only to give an explanation to his biological daughter, but also to show his true heart. Lan Weicheng took a deep breath, looked at Lan Xinya who was not far away, and said in a serious and heavy voice, "Xinya, you are too much!" As he spoke, Lan Weicheng turned around and looked at Lan Shu with a serious expression. "Shu Shu is my biological daughter, and this cannot be changed. Even without Mrs. Wei''s help, we would have discovered Shu Shu''s existence sooner or later and brought her back!" After the words fell, Lan Weicheng shifted his gaze to Lan Xinya again. "Xinya, no one thought about the fact that you and Shushu were wronged at the beginning. You lived with us since you were a child, and you have no worries about food and clothing. We provide you with education and arrange work for you." "Starting from the family business, I will give you one or two hundred pocket money every month. When you get married, we will give you a dowry of 10,000." "We think that we have not treated you badly, nor owed you, but Shushu has lived in the countryside since she was a child." Speaking of his own daughter, Lan Weicheng''s voice paused, his eyes filled with distress. "Xinya, when you insisted on moving out, I should have figured it out. Since you intend to distance yourself from us, so be it." Speaking of this, Lan Weicheng couldn''t help but sighed again, and then continued to Lan Xinya¡ª "Now that you are married, you can live well in your in-law''s house from now on." "Since Shushu has been found, you two should go to your respective places." Lan Weicheng gave up, he should no longer be devoted to helping his adopted daughter, making her feel resentful towards his biological daughter. Aside, Lan Xinya didn''t expect that her father planned to break off with her! The phrase "Everyone" means that she no longer recognizes her as a daughter¡ª Lan Xinya froze in place, she was at a loss for this result. As for Meng Heng beside her, in just a few minutes, the surprise in his heart was overshadowed by waves! The gentle, virtuous, and kind daughter-in-law in Meng Heng''s heart actually felt that the biological daughter of the Lan family had taken her place and taken away everything that belonged to her? Did Xinya forget that she is just the adopted daughter of the Lan family? Everything in the Lan family should belong to her biological daughter! Also, after learning that Xinya is not her biological daughter, the Lan family husband and wife still help Xinya, let Xinya live at home, and give Xinya pocket money that is higher than the wages of workers in Kyoto. When Xinya got married, she gave 10,000 yuan as Xinya''s dowry. Such adoptive parents are really rare, but Xinya not only doesn¡¯t know how to be grateful, but also makes up lies about adoptive parents¡¯ partiality to deceive him! The dowry of 10,000 yuan is higher than his ten-year allowance in the army. Is this what Xinya is talking about? and bad for her? Meng Heng discovered that Lan Xinya''s deception to him was not limited to the so-called favoritism of his adoptive parents. He remembered the three thousand yuan that Xinya''s biological parents had given Lan Weicheng and his wife a few months ago. Xinya''s biological parents were born in the countryside, and it was not easy to earn money, but they gave her 3,000 yuan as a dowry. This is definitely because they care about her daughter! But Xinya said that her biological parents had a son and had no feelings for her, it would be the same with her or without her. It''s simply telling lies against conscience! Besides the parents¡¯ affairs, Meng Heng used to think that his daughter-in-law was self-reliant and capable, and all the money in the business was earned by her own ability. Only now did Meng Heng know the real source of the money. What complicated Meng Heng''s mood the most was that he married Xinya and became her man, but she kept something secret from herself, not even mentioning the dowry! She probably didn''t really treat herself as a pillow person at all! ? Thinking of this, Meng Heng''s hand that was holding Lan Xinya''s wrist had loosened at some point. His face was ugly and his eyes were complicated. At this moment, he even had the idea of ??leaving here alone. But in the end, because of the child in Lan Xinya''s belly, Meng Heng''s footsteps were heavy and he didn''t turn around. Even though the woman in front of her had lied to herself about many things, she was pregnant with her own child after all. Meng Heng knew that he might no longer treat Lan Xinya as the woman he wanted to love and pamper from the bottom of his heart. But for the sake of the child, he will not separate from Lan Xinya. Lan Xinya is no longer the woman he treats sincerely, but the mother of his child. From now on, let¡¯s treat it as the two of them working together to live together... At this time, Lan Xinya didn''t notice Meng Heng''s psychological changes at all. Because of Lan Weicheng''s determination to break off with her, she panicked! When Lan Xinya was about to speak, trying to restore the relationship between her and her adoptive father, she didn''t wait for that opportunity. At the dinner party, because of her words and deeds, too many people were disgusted. President Li personally ordered people to call the waiter of the Jingdu Hotel to invite Lan Xinya, an outsider who broke into their chamber of commerce dinner without authorization, out¡ª Lan Xinya relied on her big belly, and wanted to make a final struggle, but was picked up by Meng Heng beside her, and left in a hurry! Meng Heng has already lost face today, and he doesn''t want to stay and continue to lose face! Fortunately, he has been exercising all year round and has good physical fitness, otherwise Lan Xinya''s weight of about 160 kilograms, he might not be able to hold her. Just like that, a few minutes later, Meng Heng finally took him out of the Jingdu Hotel under Lan Xinya beating him to death. ¡­ The third floor of the hotel, the scene of the dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Because of Lan Xinya''s appearance, this farce caused Lan Weicheng to lose face, and he no longer had the face to continue to attend the dinner party of the chamber of commerce. So Lan Weicheng left silently not long after Meng Heng took Lan Xinya away. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were really disappointed because of Lan Xinya. After talking with Li Jiaojiao for a while, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai left the dinner party on the pretext of needing more rest. Li Jiaojiao probably understood Lan Shu''s mood, she didn''t try to keep Lan Shu, but sent Lan Shu downstairs, watched Lan Shu get into the car, and waved Lan Shu to leave. On the way back, Master Zhang was driving the car, Xiao Bai and Lan Shu were sitting in the back seat, and the atmosphere was a little silent. (end of this chapter) Chapter 339: suddenly see the light Chapter 339 suddenly enlightened "Unhappy?" Xiao Bai said, breaking the silence at the moment. When Lan Shu heard this, she first sighed helplessly, and then raised her head to meet Xiao Bai''s gaze. She shook her head lightly, "No, I just feel that the world is impermanent." Xiao Bai didn''t know what Lan Shu meant by the impermanence of the world at this moment. He didn''t interrupt rashly, but listened to Lan Shu continue to say¡ª "Just now when my biological father chose me, and the meaning between the words was to divide the relationship with Lan Xinya, I was thinking about a question." When Lan Shu spoke, her voice paused, as if she was thinking and sorting out her words. "If I was found by the Lan family back then, not the me who can do business and have the ability to make money now, but a Lan Shu who is equal in weight and height, lazy, self-willed, and useless, do you think it will be like this now? result?" Xiao Bai didn''t know why Lan Shu asked this suddenly. In his heart, Lan Shu is Lan Shu. Although the Lan Shu he first saw was indeed fat, she was definitely not the kind of lazy person. The Lanshu in his eyes is sincere and self-disciplined. Whoever treats her well, she will treat him well. Xiao Bai saw with his own eyes that Lan Shu had lost a lot of weight after spending a month in Tianshui Village! Lan Shu''s business mind and ability are unmatched! So how could such a Lan Shu be lazy and useless as she said? For the first time, Xiaobai found that he couldn''t understand Lan Shu''s thoughts. He looked at Lan Shu and replied seriously, "You are not that kind of person." Of course Lan Shu knew that she was not that kind of person, but the original owner was... She breathed a sigh of relief, "If I were that kind of person, do you think my biological parents would still treat me like this, and would the situation between me and Lan Xinya be reversed?" "Also, my adoptive parents in Tianshui Village, after learning that I am not their own, will they still pamper me as always?" Lan Shu thought about the fate of the original owner of the real daughter in the book. After the original owner was recognized, less than a year later, he was rejected by his biological parents. The adoptive parents and elder brothers also doted on their biological daughter and sister, compared to the fat and lazy original owner, and willfully did a series of things that envied Lan Xinya. In the end, the family members who loved the original owner also hated her... Lan Shu didn''t continue to think about it, because she heard Xiao Bai''s answer beside her. "Lan Shu, although I don''t know how you came up with such an idea, I can probably answer this question." "Parents are sincere and selfless towards their children, but parents are also ordinary people, who have judgments about good and evil, right and wrong. Most parents can be tolerant to their children, but they will not blindly condone them." "It''s like Lan Xinya, because of jealousy, her whole personality becomes distorted, and she will have ugly and hateful thoughts. Such a person, whether it is her parents or others, will not like it, and will hate it." Xiaobai said, sighed, and then continued in a tone of unbearable. "If you are really lazy and self-willed, then such a person will definitely not be liked by others except parents, but parents will only treat their children well because of family affection." "It''s good, it''s selfless, and it shouldn''t change under normal circumstances, but the word ''willful'' can change a lot." "According to the character of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, they will treat their adopted daughters and biological daughters equally, but a willful biological daughter may not agree with their parents to do so. In that case, the subsequent changes will become uncontrollable." As Xiaobai spoke, he already thought of too many conflicts and quarrels. "A person''s excellence is the key to measure the attitude of outsiders towards him. An excellent person will naturally be able to get more attention and kindness from others." "The one being compared is likely to have malicious thoughts because of willfulness, and even do more extreme things than Lan Xinya." "At that time, it will be like Lan Xinya now. Under repeated conflicts, the family affection that should belong to her will gradually wear away, and finally she will be rejected by her parents." Listening to Xiaobai''s analysis, Lan Shu was quite surprised! What Xiaobai said is almost the fate of the real and fake daughter! And Xiaobai¡¯s words continued¡ª "Character and ability are the key to measure a person. Only by making yourself better and better can you get and have more. Only by being truly kind and maintaining your heart can you win the goodwill of others." "So going back to the original assumption, if you are a lazy and willful person, in the end, you will inevitably make your own smooth situation worse and worse. This has nothing to do with being fat or thin." "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Uncle Lan, and Aunt Chunfang are kind to their daughter, not only because of family affection, but also because of their daughter''s original kind heart." "Once this heart is unbalanced, changes due to interests or other reasons, becomes ugly, jealous, and vicious, such a person is no longer the original daughter in their hearts, and it will be sooner or later that they will be rejected. matter." Xiao Bai''s words made Lan Shu''s originally depressed mood suddenly brighten up! Whether it was the original real daughter or the current Lan Xinya, after someone better than them appeared, the comparison between the real daughter and the fake daughter made the inferior one lose his balance, and become ugly inside because of jealousy. It must be vicious, so it has the final result. Thinking about this clearly, Lan Shu took a deep breath, the knots that had been entangled in her heart for a long time were all untied now¡ª She doesn''t have to think too much about family relationships. She only needs to work hard to make herself better, so that her mentality will never be out of balance, then the relatives she has now will always be by her side. There is actually only one thing she has to do, and that is to have a clear conscience! ¡­ A few days later, it will be the Spring Festival of the year again. Last year, Lan Shu originally wanted to bring her parents to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, but because her eldest brother married a wife, it was not good for her parents to leave home as in-laws in the first year, so Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village to spend the New Year with her family. . This year, Lan Shu has already agreed with her parents and brothers to let them all come to Kyoto to be lively. When she got married in early June, all her family members came here, so this time everyone is familiar with the way, and they came to Kyoto one after another two or three days before the Chinese New Year. The first couple to come were Lan Weicheng and Chang Chunfang. The two closed the fried chicken shop in front of Linjiang City Hospital in advance, and took the train to Kyoto with large and small bags. The daughter has been pregnant for almost eight months. They came this time, planning to wait for Shushu to give birth, and then see if they want to leave after confinement. Chang Chunfang is ready to help Shushu take care of her children in the future. (end of this chapter) Chapter 340: exhausted Chapter 340 Physically and mentally exhausted Kyoto, No. 36, Chang''an Road. Lan Shu will celebrate the New Year in her new house this year. She and Xiaobai started to move one after another as early as last month. Knowing that her parents and brothers would come, Lan Shu arranged rooms for everyone in advance. In addition, she also reserved a place for her in-laws to live in. But Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang felt that they were more used to living in the compound, and it was more lively when friends and neighbors visited during the Chinese New Year, so they did not agree to celebrate the New Year here. In addition to his family this year, Xiaobai also took in someone to live here. Ms. Lin, who lived in the first house at the bridge head of Linfu Street, Qingyang County, was taken to Kyoto by her grandson this year. The old lady is getting old, and Xiaobai hopes to take her over to take care of her in the future. But the old lady doesn¡¯t want to live in the capital all the time. She said before she came that it¡¯s okay to stay a little longer. She¡¯s been in the capital for a long time, and she¡¯ll miss those old sisters who chat with her every day on Linford Street. Before Xiaobai made these arrangements, he had discussed with Lanshu. Regarding the matter of taking Xiaobai''s grandmother home, Lan Shu agreed without any hesitation. She has had contact with Mrs. Lin. The old lady is very nice, and there will be no problem living together. The house they bought is big, and the old lady agrees to stay for the elderly in the future. It''s just that the old lady has her own ideas and doesn''t want to mix with the lives of young people. ¡­ On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Bai took Lan Shu back to the compound early in the morning. Follow the rules of relatives on the first day of the new year, and the married couple will go to the man''s house to pay New Year''s greetings and leave a meal on the first day of the new year. Although they were going back to their own home, Xiaobai and Lanshu also brought gifts to visit their elders. Cakes, rock sugar and brown sugar, and canned fruit bought in the supply and marketing cooperative are the most basic configurations. In addition to these, Lan Shu also brought a whole set of skin care products and cosmetics produced by her own cosmetics company, packed in a gift box designed by herself, which looked exquisite and high-end. Lan Shu still remembers that her mother-in-law, Wei Qiushuang, gave her a lipstick before, but now, there are ten lipsticks in her gift box! Gu family, after Wei Qiushuang received the gift from her daughter-in-law, she liked it very much. Which woman does not love beauty? Even though Wei Qiushuang is now forty years old, deep down in her heart she still hopes that she will always look good. While Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were sitting in the living room talking to their parents, there was a knock on the door outside with ''Boom, Boom, Boom,''. Gu Anguo got up and went to open the door. Half a minute later, he followed Gu Cheng into the living room. Today, Gu Cheng didn''t have the usual proud expression, he seemed very tired, Lan Shu just raised his eyes and glanced over, and he could see the obvious bloodshot eyes in Gu Cheng''s eyes, as well as the thick circles under his eyes. Such Gu Cheng seems to have not slept well for many days. Even Gu Anguo, a careless old man, could see the fatigue in his eldest son''s eyes. Gu Cheng walked in, and instead of sitting on the sofa, he moved a chair and sat next to the dining room not far from the living room. Gu Anguo was a little displeased by his obvious separation of relationship with Xiaobai and Lanshu. And when Wei Qiushuang saw Gu Cheng''s attitude, he didn''t bother to pay attention. It''s not her own son, and she can''t feed him well, so she just ignored him. It has nothing to do with Gu Cheng''s appearance outside in the future. Gu Cheng''s main purpose of coming this time is not to celebrate the New Year with his family. Even after he came, he didn''t even react much when he saw Lan Shu. This is entirely because there is another thing occupying his heart, which makes him exhausted, and he has no mind to think about other things. This incident is also the reason why he has been sleepless and mentally exhausted lately¡ª ¡­ More than ten days ago, Gu Cheng received a call from a stranger. The call was made directly to his personal mobile phone, and the other party''s voice was hoarse, as if something had covered up the original tone. During the phone call, the man said that he was about to be found out about his murder in Qingyang County! Just this one sentence made Gu Cheng''s back wet with cold sweat in an instant¡ª "Who are you?!" Gu Cheng asked. But the other party has hung up the phone. Hearing the busy tone of ''Di...di...di...'' on the phone, Gu Cheng panicked even more! So he left Haicheng immediately and secretly went to Qingyang County to inquire about the news. Through internal relations, Gu Cheng learned that more than a month ago, the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Team caught several local hooligans, and the other party accidentally confessed that they killed someone two years ago. So there is now the result that the county law enforcement department attaches great importance to and strictly investigates this matter. Gu Cheng didn''t know who made the call to him before, but he knew that the other party must have a plan! He hoped that the other party was looking for money, so he waited for the other party to call again. But this time, the other party has no news at all. On the contrary, he had a ghost in his heart. He was afraid that he would be found out about the crime he had paid for, so he couldn''t sleep during the day and night, and his body was about to go wrong. When he came back this time, Gu Cheng wanted to go home to find out what was true, and to find out if his father and Wei Qiushuang knew about it. At the same time, he also suspected that Gu Jue might have made the phone call? Gu Cheng knew that Gu Jue would go home for the New Year''s Day, so he also came back to observe Gu Jue''s expression, and judged whether this matter had anything to do with Gu Jue. ¡­ In the living room, Xiaobai just glanced at Gu Cheng indifferently at first, and then he didn''t look at Gu Cheng again. In Gu Cheng''s view, all Gu Jue''s attention was on Lan Shu and Wei Qiushuang. The three of them were sitting on the sofa, eating melon seeds, eating fruits, and chatting leisurely. The TV on the opposite side was on, but the three of them didn''t watch much. Instead, they used the program on the TV as the background sound, and the topic revolved around pregnancy and children. Wei Qiushuang smiled, her gaze was always on Lan Shu''s stomach, she said to Lan Shu with an expectant expression. "I don''t know who this child looks like? But no matter which one of your husband and wife you choose, it must be good-looking!" Wei Qiushuang is quite confident about her son''s appearance! And Lan Shu is also considered one of the most beautiful girls in a hundred, and the two of them look very good when they sit together. "It''s very hard to give birth to a child. Shu Shu gritted her teeth when the time came, and she must persevere. Just get over it." "After the child is born, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, if you don''t want to have any more in the future, your parents will understand. After all, it is really not easy to have a child." Wei Qiushuang has personally experienced this matter, so she can understand it. Her thinking is not feudal, not the kind of mother-in-law who insists on her daughter-in-law to have grandchildren. When Lan Shu heard this, she nodded immediately. She has gone through most of the process of pregnancy, and it is indeed very hard. After the child is born, she will not have the idea of ??having another child in a short time, but it may not be certain in the future, just wait and see. Now her mother-in-law can understand, and being able to tell her this makes Lan Shu feel very heart-warming. (end of this chapter) Chapter 341: investigation Chapter 341 Investigation Gu family, Gu Cheng sat on a chair near the dining room, listening silently to Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu talking about a trivial matter for half an hour, and they didn''t intend to end the topic. Gu Jue smiled at the side, looked at Lan Shu with a natural expression, and patiently listened to the chat between Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu, and did not show any abnormality. This dispelled Gu Cheng''s doubts. That call should not be from Gu Jue. And after observing the reactions of Wei Qiushuang and his father, they didn''t seem to know that Gu Jue''s murder in Qingyang County was instigated by someone. At this moment, Gu Cheng was secretly relieved. But in the next second, the phone placed on the small table on the side of the living room suddenly rang, "ringing, ringing..." Wei Qiushuang glanced sideways, but didn''t get up to answer the phone. Seeing this, Gu Anguo immediately walked over, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear. "Hello, who is this?" The voice on the phone is not low, because the house is relatively quiet, so Gu Cheng, who is not far from the living room, can easily listen to the contents of the phone¡ª "It''s me, Cui Youdang. The matter you asked me to investigate before is now a bit of a clue. According to the confession of those hooligans, the person who called them at the time spoke relatively standard Mandarin, so it should be from a big city. people..." Cui Youdang continued to talk about the details on the phone, but Gu Cheng''s face has become a little ugly! "Big city? Our family has nothing to do with other big cities, so the person who wants to assassinate my son can only be from Kyoto!" Gu Anguo looked solemn, and blurted out his guess on the spot. This answer made Gu Cheng''s face paler! "In addition to the mandarin spoken by the person on the phone, according to a ruffian named ''Baldhead'', the other party''s accent sounds familiar, but I''m not sure about it." Cui Youdang added. "Okay, I understand." Gu Anguo nodded and replied with a calm expression. Gu Cheng, who was not far away, had a stiff face at the moment. The phrase ''the accent sounds familiar'' on the phone made him so nervous that his hands were sweating! Gu Cheng grew up in Qingyang County. He originally spoke with the accent of the county town. Later, he followed his father to Kyoto and slowly changed to Mandarin. He knows that even if he speaks Mandarin, there will still be some accents from his hometown in his tone. Even if I don¡¯t notice it on weekdays, some locals know more about accents, so I can hear it somewhat. Gu Cheng''s phone call back then was answered by the ''bald head''. He had inquired beforehand that the bald head was a well-known gangster in Qingyang County, and he shot fiercely. But Gu Cheng never expected that the bald head could hear accents in addition to being ruthless! Once the other party says that their Mandarin has a local Qingyang County accent, the scope of investigation by parents will instantly narrow, and even focus on themselves¡ª Fortunately, the call ended here. On the phone, after Cui Youdang finished speaking, Gu Anguo thanked him and said happy new year, then hung up the phone. In the living room, Gu Cheng originally thought that his family members knew nothing about the real culprit behind Gu Jue''s murder and amnesia in Qingyang County, so he came back and sat down for a while, and planned to leave soon. But now, when the family received such a call on the New Year''s Eve, Gu Cheng couldn''t imagine whether there would be other calls in the future? In the current situation, it seems that his father has asked someone to investigate the original incident. Once he is finally found, Gu Cheng can''t imagine the result! At this moment, Gu Cheng felt fear and regret. He was afraid of being found out. Regarding the matter of sending people to harm Gu Jue, I regret that I didn''t select the people carefully, the people I found were too incompetent! Not sure if Gu Jue was dead, so he threw him into the river! He also regretted that after Gu Jue returned to the capital, he didn''t get rid of him again! So much so that now it has aroused the idea of ??the family members to investigate this matter. In the living room, Wei Qiushuang heard the voice on the phone just now, her expression remained unchanged, she just paused for a while, and then continued to chat as if nothing had happened. Lan Shu, on the other hand, was slightly startled when she heard the word ''ruffian'', and adding the phrase ''the caller is from a big city'' made her feel thoughtful. Then Gu Anguo said later, "Assassinate my son..." Lan Shu already knew what the Gu family was looking for! The call must have come from Qingyang County, that''s why the other party said it was ''a person from a big city''. In Qingyang County, the only thing worthy of being investigated by the Gu family was the fact that Xiaobai''s head was broken and thrown into the river. That is what Gu Anguo said about his son being assassinated. Lan Shu has read the novel and knows that in the book, Gu Jue is the villain. After recovering his memory and returning home, he confronts Gu Chengzheng and fights to the end. Based on Lan Shu''s understanding of Xiaobai, he would never fight against his brother for no reason, so it must be because of something that Gu Cheng did that made Xiaobai unforgivable, so the two had a fighting plot develop. Before Xiaobai lost his memory, what did Gu Cheng do that Xiaobai could not forgive? Combining the plot logic of the novel and what she knows now, the only thing Lan Shu can think of is the murder of Xiaobai. Combined with the reminder on the phone now, the ins and outs of the whole matter were quickly linked up by Lan Shu¡ª Is it Gu Cheng who calls to pay for murder? The original Gu Jue survived a catastrophe and lost his memory for several years. After finding out the cause of his accident, the first thing he did after returning was to seek revenge from Gu Cheng? If this is the explanation, then everything makes sense. The conflict between Gu Jue and Gu Cheng is not clearly stated in the novel. It is written that the male lead is successful in his career, and the female lead and the male lead are loving and sweet. And now, Lan Shu discovered some dirty things hidden under the plot. If you don¡¯t think about these things carefully, you can¡¯t think of them at all! At this time, Xiaobai and Wei Qiushuang saw Lanshu''s silent reaction by bowing her head. The two of them didn''t think much, they just thought that Lan Shu might be heavy and tired from sitting for a long time. So Wei Qiushuang immediately suggested, "Shu Shu, why don''t you go upstairs and rest for a while?" Xiao Bai also looked at Lan Shu with concern on his face, "Go to sleep, I will call you when the meal is ready." Lan Shu readily agreed to the kindness of her mother-in-law and her husband. She nodded, then Xiao Bai helped her up from the sofa and walked upstairs. Just before going upstairs, Lan Shu glanced at Gu Cheng not far away. Seeing that Gu Cheng''s face was stiff, there was a little sweat on his forehead in the winter, and he was trying to hide his panic in his eyes¡ª Lan Shu already knew that her deduction should be right! (end of this chapter) Chapter 342: meet Chapter 342 Encounter Thinking of Gu Cheng''s intention to hurt Xiaobai, and the suppression of Xiaobai at the end of the plot, she remembered all of this! In the past, Lan Shu didn''t take the initiative to confront Gu Cheng. She felt that people would not offend me, and I would not offend others. As long as Gu Cheng doesn''t come to provoke trouble, she won''t provoke him either. All she needs to do is to work hard to develop and expand her business, so that Gu Cheng can''t afford to provoke her! But now, Lan Shu has changed her mind¡ª If the Gu family finds out that Gu Cheng was responsible for Xiaobai''s murder, then she will definitely try her best to make Gu Cheng regret it! She wanted to make everything that Gu Jue experienced in the novel presented in Gu Cheng! Perhaps it was because Lan Shu''s eyes were too sharp, which made Gu Cheng aware of something, and he subconsciously looked towards Lan Shu who was walking upstairs. But when he looked at Lan Shu, Lan Shu had already withdrawn her gaze first, her eyes fell on the stairs, she held her stomach with one hand, and went upstairs cautiously. This made Gu Cheng feel that he was thinking too much just now, and because he was flustered, he felt that someone was staring at him. After Gu Jue helped Lan Shu upstairs, Gu Cheng looked at Wei Qiushuang and his father Gu Anguo again. When he just received the call, his dad''s reaction seemed too flat? And Wei Qiushuang''s calmness also made Gu Chengxin worry, did she already know something? Fortunately, Gu Cheng then watched his father enter the kitchen to cook, while Wei Qiushuang got up and went back to the bedroom on the first floor, obviously ignoring his attitude. In the living room, there were no elders standing here, so Gu Cheng was finally relieved. Then he set his eyes on the phone on the side of the sofa, his eyes gloomy. If possible, he even wants to cut the phone line so that calls from outside can no longer come into the house. But Gu Cheng knew he couldn''t do that. That will only arouse the suspicion of my father and Wei Qiushuang, and make myself exposed faster¡ª¡ª So next, Gu Cheng sat motionless near the restaurant, staring at the direction of the phone all the time. He doesn''t want any untimely calls to come in today! At this time, the thoughts in his heart can only be delayed for a day... ¡­ On the first day of the Lunar New Year, at noon, Lan Shu ate at Gu''s house. She was easily tired during pregnancy, so she went upstairs to rest for a while and soon fell asleep. When I woke up, I thought that Gu Cheng had already left, but when I went downstairs, I found that Gu Cheng was already sitting at the dining table. So for the lunch at noon, even if Lan Shu didn''t want to, she could only sit at the same table with Gu Cheng. Although there were people who lost their appetite in front of them, Lan Shu didn''t eat less because of her increased food intake during pregnancy. Although Gu Cheng was sitting at the dining table, he was too preoccupied to swallow, so he sat there throughout the lunch without taking a few mouthfuls. Seeing that Gu Cheng is not good, Lan Shu feels relieved. After eating, Lan Shu got up and went out, intending to walk around the yard to digest food. Beside her, Xiaobai went out with her. This winter, here in Kyoto, as in previous years, it began to snow a few years ago, and now thick snow can be seen everywhere in the compound. There are quite a few residents in the courtyard. If there are children at home, snowmen will be piled up at the gate. Lan Shu walked all the way and saw several snowmen. Snowmen are big and small, some are lying flat, and another family has piled up snow-pressed porcelain and is carving and drawing on the snow with a knife. It seems that they are going to pile up a snow lion. Watching other people make snowmen is also fun. Lan Shu stopped and stood not far away watching the rudiment of the snow lion gradually appear. Seeing that Lan Shu was so interested in the snowman, Xiao Bai suggested from the side, "We''ll make a snowman at the door when we go back later." "Okay~!" Lan Shu agreed without hesitation. At this moment, the matter of building a snowman quickly diluted Lan Shu''s unhappiness caused by Gu Cheng''s appearance. Watching others build a snowman for a while, Lan Shu told Xiao Bai that it was too cold outside, and she was already planning to go back. When Xiaobai heard about it, he took Lan Shu''s hand and put it in his pocket together with his own. Lan Shu''s cold fingers were held and warmed by Xiao Bai''s big warm hands, and gradually they finally became less cold. When they went back, the two of them didn''t return along the way. There were several ways to go back in the compound. It was a pleasure for them to watch the snow scene while walking. I just didn''t expect that as I was walking, a girl wearing a red long and wide cotton padded jacket approached me not far in front of me. Before even approaching, Lan Shu saw the other party''s appearance! ¡ªLi Xuan! The coat and padded jacket Li Xuan was wearing was a style from her clothing factory. Lan Shu has always known that Li Xuan is interested in Xiaobai. In the past, when Li Xuan came to find Xiaobai, her intentions couldn''t be more obvious. Later, Lan Shu didn''t see Li Xuan for a while. The last time I saw her was about a year ago in Li Jiaojiao''s shoe store. I knew that Li Xuan was Li Jiaojiao''s distant relative. The two had a bad relationship since they were young. Now that she and Xiao Bai are married and will have a child soon, Lan Shu is a little surprised when Li Xuan appears. Lan Shu was even thinking, what would Li Xuan say when she saw Xiao Bai? Soon, she will know¡ª "Gu Jue, long time no see." Li Xuan stepped forward, stopped, and said softly with a smile on her face. Xiaobai looked at the person when he heard someone calling him. His eyes were slightly confused, and it took a few seconds before he remembered who the woman in front of him was. "Yes." Xiaobai replied. On the opposite side, Li Xuan obviously had a look of embarrassment on her face because of Xiao Bai''s cold ''hmm'' sound. But soon, she adjusted her mentality, and then shifted her gaze to Lan Shu. "I guessed right, you are finally together." Li Xuan said. Actually, when Li Xuan saw Lan Shu for the first time, she already had a sense of crisis in her heart. At that time, Lan Shu hadn''t completely lost weight. She was a bit fat, but it was not difficult to see that her facial features were very good. The most important thing is that Li Xuan had never seen Gu Jue''s intimacy with Lan Shu at that time! In the past, Li Xuan paid so much attention to Gu Jue in the courtyard that even Gu Jue couldn''t imagine, so Li Xuan clearly knew that Gu Jue had never cared so much about any woman except Lan Shu. Later when Li Xuan saw Lan Shu again, Lan Shu lost weight. Lan Shu dressed up a little, is so pretty that she has already made her feel inferior. At that time, Li Xuan was still a little lucky, thinking that she was about the same age as Gu Jue, which was an advantage. Lan Shu is a few years older than Gu Jue. Later, in order to get closer to Gu Jue, Li Xuan was admitted to the Peking University School of Medicine where Gu Jue was, but she never met Gu Jue at school. It wasn''t until Gu Jue and Lan Shu got married that Li Xuan completely stopped thinking¡ª Li Xuan appeared in front of Lan Shu and Gu Jue today, not to get close to Gu Jue. She felt that her relationship, which ended without a cause, should have a complete ending even if she let it go. That''s why she stood here and looked at Lan Shu. "Bless you," she said. (end of this chapter) Chapter 343: Cooperate with acting Chapter 343 Cooperating with acting Lan Shu didn''t expect Li Xuan to say that. The current Li Xuan seems to have changed a lot from before. In the past, Li Xuan had a weak and pitiful appearance to the outside world, and every word she said seemed to have something in her heart. Like Li Xuan, in Lan Shu''s eyes, she smelled like tea. Now, Li Xuan, who has clear eyes and sincere blessings, is completely different from before! "Thank you." Lan Shu replied. Although I don''t know why Li Xuan has changed so much, Lan Shu is willing to accept Li Xuan''s sincere blessing. Hearing Lan Shu''s answer, Li Xuan smiled, and then lightly set her gaze on Lan Shu''s swollen abdomen. "Also, congratulations." After speaking, Li Xuan took two steps back, glanced at Gu Jue again, and turned to leave. Lan Shu watched Li Xuan leave. Although she didn''t know what happened to Li Xuan, she felt good now. "Let''s go, let''s go back and make a snowman." Beside ??, Xiao Bai''s voice suddenly sounded, pulling Lan Shu back from the state of trance. Lan Shu looked sideways at Xiao Bai. Seeing that his eyes were focused, and only her own image was in her eyes, she nodded slightly and replied, "Okay." On this day, after the two went back, they also built a snowman outside the gate of Gu''s house. Xiao Bai was in charge of building the snowman, while Lan Shu watched from the sidelines and offered advice from time to time. What kind of snowman she wants, Xiaobai builds a snowman¡ª Until evening, the orange sunset in the sky turns from bright to dark... ¡­ On the same day, Gu Cheng stayed at Gu''s house all day. Fortunately, except for noon, there were no unusual calls from home. So until dinner, Gu Cheng didn''t stay any longer. After Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to their home on the other side of Chang''an Road, Gu Cheng also left by car. The Gu family, Wei Qiushuang walked out of the room, his eyes fell on the landline phone at home, and he didn''t look away for a long time. Gu Anguo also came down from the upstairs study room. When he went downstairs, he was holding a few receipts with numerous phone numbers printed on them. One of the documents is clean, with only one line of records. It was an anonymous public phone card with a denomination of 10 yuan. It could have made several calls, but this card number has only made one call for more than two years. This call was made more than two years ago, before their son Gu Jue went to Qingyang County to visit his grandmother¡ª Directly dialed to the landline at the home of the gangster ''Bald'' in Qingyang County. The other party is the one who bought the murderer behind their backs to ruthlessly attack their son, and wanted to kill their son! This calling card and the public phone used by this calling card have been found out by the old man, and the call is from Kyoto! In the living room, Gu Anguo went downstairs and saw his wife sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed, silent. Seeing him go downstairs, Wei Qiushuang raised her eyes slightly and looked at him. "Did you see his reaction when the call came at noon?" Wei Qiushuang didn''t say the name of that ''him'', but Gu Anguo already knew who his wife was talking about. Gu Anguo sighed deeply, and replied with a heavy voice, "I see." It was just an answer, which seemed to have consumed most of his strength, making it difficult for him to continue speaking¡ª "What do you think should be done about this?" Wei Qiushuang asked. She wants to see an attitude of her husband! Gu Anguo is very embarrassed... During this time, he and the old man both investigated the truth about the murder of their youngest son in Qingyang County. He found some information and learned that the person behind the scenes had a slight county accent. And the old man found out more! With the old man''s connections and the authority he can use, even the phone number between the other party and the ''bald head'' two years ago can be found! At that time, Gu Cheng did not go to Haicheng to develop, he was in Kyoto! The old man also checked all the call records on the mobile phone used by Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng''s company, and the landline phone installed in the house Gu Cheng bought during that time. Gu Cheng uses the phone frequently on weekdays because of his business. So during that time, there were hundreds of records of phone numbers related to him! After confirming a large number of call number records one by one, it was finally found that three calls were made to Qingyang County. With this clue, on the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Team, Captain Chen Dehua immediately dispatched his subordinates to investigate the whereabouts of the person who connected the three calls. The last clue points to an ordinary worker named Zheng Shan in Qingyang County. Zheng Shan is in his twenties and thirties, and has already married. But two years ago, he had no job and no money to marry a wife. It was Gu Cheng who gave him a job! According to Zheng Shan, he and Gu Cheng used to be classmates in elementary school and had a good relationship. But Gu Cheng only went to elementary school for two years, and then left Qingyang County, followed his father to a big city to develop, so the two lost contact. Unexpectedly, two years ago, he accidentally received a letter asking him to go to the supply and marketing agency to wait for a call at a certain time. Subsequently, Zheng Shan received a call from Gu Cheng¡ª On the phone, they talked a lot, as if returning to the moment when they were close when they were young. What exactly did you talk about? Two years have passed, and I can''t remember the details of Zheng Shan. But he probably told Gu Cheng about how much the county has changed in the past twenty years! After Chen Dehua asked him if he had mentioned the bald gangsters in Qingyang County, Zheng Shan recalled that he seemed to have told Gu Cheng that although the county was developing well, the law and order in some places was not good. Before hanging up the phone, Gu Cheng introduced him to a job, so he had the opportunity to enter the factory, became a regular worker, and had a woman marry him. The captain of the law enforcement team, Chen Dehua, reported the news one by one. As early as three days ago, the news had already arrived in Kyoto. The day before yesterday, after Gu Anguo got these materials from the old man and learned the results of the investigation, he couldn''t believe that his youngest son was murdered and almost never returned. It turned out to be related to his eldest son! Gu Anguo spent a day to calm himself down. Then he waited for Gu Cheng to come to his door, and asked his old friend Cui Youdang to make a phone call to cooperate with him in this scene¡ª As a result, Gu Cheng''s abnormal reaction was seen by him... The elder son who moved out early and wished he would never come home, not only stayed for lunch at noon after hearing the voice on the phone, he didn''t even leave all afternoon! Gu Cheng''s abnormality has explained too many problems. Even if Gu Anguo doesn''t want to believe it, he must face this matter seriously! If the murder of the younger son is really related to the elder son, then he must think clearly about how to deal with this matter? ! (end of this chapter) Chapter 344: good news Chapter 344 Good News Gu Anguo looked at his wife with guilt in his heart and sadness in his eyes. The eldest son is the child of him and his deceased wife. Gu Chenghe lost his mother since he was a child, which made him feel distressed. The youngest son was brought up by his current wife since he was a child, and he regarded it as a treasure. Gu Anguo knows too well how important the youngest son is to his wife! Anyone who harms their son, Qiu Shuang will not let go! But now, that person is very likely to be his other son... ¡­ At this time, Gu Cheng, who had left the Gu family, had no idea that what he did back then had basically been confirmed. The finger has been pointed at him, but now there is just no definite evidence! In this era, inquiries about phone records can only find the time and phone number, and there is no detailed phone recording. Therefore, there is the temptation of his biological father today¡ª On the other hand, Lan Shu, who returned to No. 36 Chang''an Road, didn''t know that she understood the direction of the plot, and the result of today''s reasoning was basically known by the Gu family! Only Xiaobai has always been in control of the development of this matter. Ten days ago, before Mr. Wei got the investigation materials, Xiaobai had already called Gu Cheng in advance using an anonymous mobile phone number in the company, pretending to be his voice. Compared to buying a phone card outside and using a public phone, the phone information in your company is self-controlled, and the communication records can be deleted internally, so that the security is higher. Xiaobai called Gu Cheng in advance just to upset Gu Cheng''s mind! Chaos leads to change. Only in this way, Gu Cheng will show his feet¡ª ¡­ The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year. Today, there is no need to go out to see relatives, Lan Shu spent the new year at home with her family members. This year, the whole family came together. Except for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, Lan Shu''s eldest brother Lan Dazhuang, sister-in-law Tang Chu, second brother Lan Xiuming, and third brother Lan Sibo all arrived in Kyoto! Originally, on the second day of junior high school, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were supposed to go to the home of their biological parents to celebrate the New Year. But because Lan Xinya might go back on this day, Lan Shu told her parents in advance that she would return home one day later. Although Lan Weicheng said at the dinner party of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce not long ago that he wanted to divide the relationship with Lan Xinya, but such a division of relationship belongs to everyone, and he is serious. I don''t know if Lan Xinya will turn around and try to save their rich adoptive parents. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan could also understand their daughter''s explanation. It just so happened that they learned that their cousin and sister-in-law had come to Kyoto from Tianshui Village, so Lan Weicheng told his daughter to spend the new year with her adoptive parents well. As for him, just come back the next day~! ¡­ At noon, before the dinner table. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang had been busy all morning, setting up a large table of meals! The family sat around together, eating lively. Xiaobai is the son-in-law of the Lan family for the first year, sitting with the whole family to celebrate the New Year. So this year, as his son-in-law, he also received a special red envelope from the elders of the Lan family. This red envelope was given by the elders during the Chinese New Year, so Xiaobai did not refuse. Seeing that he accepted the red envelope, Lan Dazhuang joked with a ''hehe~'', saying that Xiaobai was like his family''s son-in-law. Actually, if the son-in-law is an upside-down son-in-law, it is right to receive red envelopes during the Chinese New Year, but neither Lan Shengli nor Chang Chunfang intends to treat Xiaobai as an upside-down son-in-law. The son-in-law is easy to say, but for many men, he still cares. But Xiaobai didn''t mind these things at all. In addition to Xiaobai receiving a red envelope, Tang Chu, as the only daughter-in-law in the family, also received a big red envelope this year. When someone else¡¯s new daughter-in-law is getting started, it is enough for the elders to give red envelopes in the first year, but both Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang like this daughter-in-law very much, so the one-year red envelope is directly changed to three years with them. Tang Chu, who continued to receive red envelopes in the second year of passing through the door, was a little restrained. He wanted to shirk it, but Lan Dazhuang touched his arm by his side. Lan Dazhuang still said last year, "You take what your parents give you." "Yes." Tang Chu nodded, listening to her man. Halfway through the meal, Lan Dazhuang suddenly spoke and talked about one thing¡ª "Dad, Mom, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and in a few months, you will be able to be grandparents." Lan Dazhuang''s words stunned Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, who were eating with their heads down, and then raised their heads and looked at Tang Chu. "This is really good!" Chang Chunfang said, put down the chopsticks in her hand, got up and came to Tang Chu''s side, and took Tang Chu''s hand to make Tang Chu stand up and look at his figure. Tang Chu was a little shy when her mother-in-law stared at her belly, and said with a blushing face, "It was only a few days after the checkup, and it''s only been two or three months, and I don''t show my pregnancy now." Chang Chunfang heard about it, let her daughter-in-law sit down, and then she returned to her seat, already counting the month when her daughter-in-law will give birth. "Now two or three months, the child should be born around the seventh month of the lunar calendar~!" "At the time of August and September in the Gregorian calendar, the temperature may be hot, and pregnant women can''t use fans, so confinement will probably be uncomfortable." Speaking of this matter, Chang Chunfang felt sorry for her daughter-in-law. Lan Shu heard about it and came up with an idea¡ª "It''s time to install an air conditioner at home. During confinement, electric fans can''t fan the wind, but the air conditioner can be used." "Can it work?" Chang Chunfang frowned, a little worried. "I heard that the air conditioner will blow cold wind all the time. What if the room is cold and you catch a cold?" Lan Shengli was also a little worried. Regarding the use of the air conditioner, Lan Shu still has some say. "The air conditioner can be used, but it can''t blow on people. Turn up the temperature a bit. The temperature in the room only needs to be slightly cooler than the outside temperature." "Be careful not to turn the air conditioner on and off when using it, let the room be hot and cold for a while, don''t be afraid of wasting electricity, and open the windows to ventilate the room every day." Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang still believed in their daughter''s words. After all, my daughter has been in a big city for so long, so what she said must be true! Today¡¯s Lan¡¯s house is not short of money, and the air conditioner is affordable, but I¡¯m worried that turning on the air conditioner in the countryside in summer will consume a lot of electricity, and the electric boxes in the village will burn easily. When the power is turned off, the room will be hot and cold ? There is naturally a way to solve this matter. Lan Shu looked at Lan Dazhuang and suggested, "Brother, after all, my sister-in-law works in the county, and it''s not the same thing that she always lives in the staff dormitory. Otherwise, you can buy a house in the county?" The free-range chicken farm has already started to make a profit. Based on the situation of the chicken farm, Lan Dazhuang has more than enough money to buy a house. Lan Dazhuang also had this idea at first, but now he heard what the little girl said, and he immediately agreed. "Okay! When I go back, I will take my wife to look at the house and buy a house!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 345: ungrateful Chapter 345 Heartless Lan Shu thinks buying a house now is a good time. There are not too many houses, and the value will appreciate sooner or later. Although the eldest brother and Tang Chu were already old when the value of the house reached its highest level, at that time, having a house gave them the confidence to support their retirement. In addition to buying a house for the eldest brother''s family, Lan Shu also suggested that the adoptive parents should also buy a house in Linjiang City. The old couple sell fried chicken in the city, and usually rent a house. Now that they can make money, it is better to buy a house. My own house is also stable. And Lan Shu''s original intention was that she bought a suite for her parents, and it was her daughter''s wish. But neither Chang Chunfang nor Lan Shengli are willing to have their daughter spend money for them. "The two of us are not too old to work now, and we can still make money. How can we use your money?" Chang Chunfang shook his head and waved his hands. Lan Shengli also disagreed. But the matter of buying a house, the old couple has already taken it to heart. When they go back to open a shop, they will buy a house! ¡­ On the day of the second day of junior high school, the Lan family in Kyoto. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan originally thought that just like what Shu Shu said, there was a possibility that Xinya would come back to give them New Year greetings? Although Lan Weicheng has expressed that he wants to divide the relationship with his adopted daughter and return to everyone, but because Chinese New Year is a special day, he still has some expectations in his heart. After all, it is the child raised by their husband and wife. In the first year of marriage, even if it is not about blood relationship, it is only about nurturing grace. Why don''t you come back to see them? But the husband and wife were disappointed in the end. They had already prepared a sumptuous meal, and they waited until almost noon before they were on the table. As a result, no one came to the door. In the end, the two of them ate a late lunch alone. At that moment, whether it was Lan Weicheng or Xu Shan, there was a chilling feeling in their hearts! Daughter who has raised her for twenty years, she doesn''t care about family affection... Their education is such a failure! And the daughter they raised has completely chilled their hearts¡ª ¡­ On the other side, the Meng family in Kyoto. Since Lan Xinya was forcibly taken back by her man Meng Heng at the last Kyoto Chamber of Commerce dinner, Lan Xinya found that Meng Heng''s attitude towards her had changed! Accurately speaking, the change is not the attitude, but the emotional change? Although Meng Heng still came back to make delicious food for her when he was free, his concern for her seemed to disappear during the whole process. Meng Heng no longer had a smile on his lips when he looked at her, and his eyes no longer showed deep concern when he looked at her. He became completely cold, making soup and cooking meat for her, as if he was completing tasks mechanically¡ª Lan Xinya thought about it carefully. In the past week or so, even when she and Meng Heng were alone, they never looked at each other seriously once. Meng Heng seemed to be deliberately avoiding her gaze. This made Lan Xinya unable to sit still! So at noon on a working day, the two elders of the Meng family were not at home. When Meng Heng came back to make her stew, Lan Xinya stood in front of the kitchen door and asked Meng Heng angrily, "What is your attitude towards me recently? What''s the meaning?" Meng Heng didn''t look at Lan Xinya, his eyes were still on the pot on the stove in front of him. He was silent, telling himself in his heart, hold back, don''t get angry, otherwise if he quarreled with Lan Xinya, getting angry would be bad for the pregnant woman and the child. But the more Meng Heng kept silent, the angrier Lan Xinya became. In the end, even though Meng Heng didn''t want to make Lan Xinya angry, Lan Xinya was still full of anger. The result was Lan Xinya''s stomach ached with slight bleeding. Seeing that Lan Xinya was not feeling well, Meng Heng became very nervous, and immediately took Lan Xinya to the hospital. As the Chinese New Year approached, the two stayed in the hospital all afternoon. After some inspections, and back and forth, it was already evening when I got home. Lan Xinya was still worried about her appearance when she saw Meng Heng, and finally she was not so angry. Then she heard Meng Heng say to her, "Don''t worry, since we are married, I will be responsible for you to the end. After the baby is born, you can take it if you want. If you don''t want to take it, then I will take it." "As long as you take good care of your body, don''t think about anything else." Just after Meng Heng finished speaking, Lan Xinya wanted to ask Meng Heng what kind of nerves he was having. ! At this time, the Meng family''s parents had already returned. In the next few days, Meng Heng still took good care of Lan Xinya''s body, but that was all. Lan Xinya could see Meng Heng''s alienation towards her. After thinking about it for the past few days, she probably thought of the reason. Is it because I made him lose face at the dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, so he got angry with himself? Lan Xinya felt that this man Meng Heng was really narrow-minded! So her attitude towards Meng Heng gradually changed. As Meng Heng said, they are already married and pregnant with a child. If Meng Heng gets angry again, can he still divorce her? That''s why Lan Xinya has nothing to worry about, enjoying Meng Heng''s care with peace of mind, and doesn''t have a good attitude towards Meng Heng. Time flies, and when the Chinese New Year arrives, on the morning of the second day of junior high school, Meng Heng has already prepared things and is going to visit Lan Xinya''s adoptive parents'' home. Although Lan Weicheng said at the beginning that everyone belongs to everyone, Meng Heng felt that he could not move around at ordinary times, but after all, the Lan family had raised Lan Xinya for twenty years. He married Lan Xinya, and he was supposed to visit her during the Chinese New Year. But after Lan Xinya learned of Meng Heng''s plan, she frowned and asked Meng Heng to stop thinking about it! "At the dinner party, he wanted to divide the relationship with me in public, why should I rush over now?" Under Lan Xinya''s insistence, Meng Heng did not go to Lan''s house in the end. So at the Lan family, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan didn''t wait until the adopted daughter came to pay New Year''s greetings... ¡­ The next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year. Lanshu and Xiaobai returned home early in the morning with presents. Lan Shu brought a full set of cosmetic gift boxes to her mother-in-law before, so naturally she would not be left behind on her own mother''s side. In addition, she and Xiaobai also brought a lot of pastries and canned food. Seeing their biological daughter and son-in-law visit, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan''s hearts, which had been cold all day yesterday, finally felt warm. At noon, the family had a lively lunch. After dinner, while chatting on the sofa in the living room, Xu Shan couldn''t help mentioning that Lan Xinya didn''t come yesterday. "After all, Xinya was raised by me and your dad. Even if you raise a cat or dog, you have feelings, but she has no heart~!" Lan Shu could understand Xu Shan''s discomfort. Chinese New Year is a very important holiday for the people, and on such a day, visiting relatives and friends is an etiquette handed down since ancient times. Generally, relatives who don¡¯t have much contact with each other will visit each other, let alone a daughter who has been raised for twenty years? So facing Xu Shan''s sadness, Lan Shu didn''t interrupt. All she can do is listen from the sidelines. (end of this chapter) Chapter 346: launch Chapter 346 Launch After Xu Shan finished venting her emotions and wiped away her tears, she felt embarrassed that she actually said bad things about another daughter in front of her daughter. Xu Shan knew that Shushu and Xinya were not on good terms, and she didn''t know whether Shushu had heard her talking about Xinya just now, and felt annoyed? Lan Shu was not bothered, but felt that Xu Shan was too emotional. In the case of Lan Xinya, both Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng would unconsciously indulge in their self-movement for their adopted daughter. As long as they were a little more rational, they would have seen Lan Xinya''s mind clearly. Although Lan Shu can see it clearly, insiders are obsessed with this kind of thing, and outsiders can''t wake it up. So Lan Shu can only hope that one day, her biological parents in this body can jump out of the trap! I hope that sometimes they are more rational than emotional. ¡­ A few days later, the annual leave ended, and people resumed work one after another. In Qingyang County, the garment factory and toilet paper factory started working on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Last year, the efficiency of the two factories was more than 50% higher than that of the previous year! Plus the dividends from semi-finished fried chicken processing factories, fried chicken chain stores, cosmetics companies, wedding dress customization studios in Kyoto, and Walkman processing factories in Lu Wei and Qian Qing. This year, Lan Shu''s account has increased by almost 5 million. Adding the money accumulated before, Lan Shu now has more than 8 million money in her hands! After earning money, Lan Shu didn''t intend to save the money. Instead, before starting work after the year, she went back to her in-law''s house and chatted with Gu Anguo in the study for two full hours before coming out. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, when construction started everywhere, Lan Shu went to the Land Bureau with a full stomach, filled out some applications, and waited to go through the process and complete the formalities. She wants to prepare in advance and enter the real estate industry! Once she knew that it was Gu Cheng who almost killed Xiao Bai back then, she would definitely make Gu Cheng pay the price! So a few days ago, she asked Gu Anguo about the operational feasibility of purchasing land in a private name for the construction and development of real estate. Nowadays, there is no such thing as land use rights in this era, and the land you buy is your own. There is no residential land for 70 years, and commercial land for 50 years. After learning that the land could be purchased, Lan Shu first demarcated several pieces of land that could be developed, and then filled out the purchase application. She bought three pieces of land at a time, with a total area of ??more than 130 mu! In order to get these lands, Lan Shu paid more than 3 million yuan to buy the land. The remaining more than 4 million yuan is obviously not enough for the construction of the three lands. So Lan Shu plans to take one project at a time, one project at a time. She will work steadily, build a good house, and let her real estate company have a good reputation from the very beginning, which will benefit the company''s future development and growth! Purchasing a large area of ??land by private individuals is not a trivial matter. The above-mentioned process followed the procedures and it took more than a month to complete the process. After Lan Shu obtained the ownership of the three pieces of land, she immediately contacted several professional architects she hired this month and recruited a construction team. The architect needs to survey the land area on the spot, and make a detailed architectural plan according to the actual situation, which will take at least half a month. From getting the land to officially starting construction, Lan Shu knew that it would take a certain amount of time. She is not in a hurry, only Seiko can produce good quality! And at this time, her stomach finally started to move... ¡­ Conceived in October and gave birth once. The day when Lan Shu''s fetus moves is the eighteenth day of the second lunar month and the end of March in the Gregorian calendar. The weather is getting warmer. People have already taken off their thick cotton clothes and put on sweaters and single coats. This day happens to be Monday. In the morning, Lan Shu felt that her stomach was heavy and she felt a little uncomfortable. So after breakfast, Chang Chunfang asked her to go upstairs to rest for a while. It has been a month since Chinese New Year, and Chang Chunfang stayed in Kyoto because her daughter was about to give birth. And Lan Shengli stayed in Linjiang City for a week after the year. The fried chicken shop was still open, and people couldn''t do without people, so Lan Shengli went back first. Because the daughter-in-law didn''t go back with her, before opening the store, Lan Shengli had to hire another helper to reopen the store. This month, Lan Shu was usually at home, and Chang Chunfang basically took care of her. Auntie Man, the cleaner hired by the family before, became a full-time nanny, even if Chang Chunfang was there, Auntie Man stayed. Lan Shu lives in a big house with three small buildings, some of which require manpower to tidy up. In the morning, Lan Shu slept upstairs for a while, and at noon, she felt that the fetus in her stomach was moving more frequently than before. This situation made Lan Shu somewhat worried. Could she be giving birth? Calculate the expected date of delivery, and it will be within the next week. So she didn''t dare to sleep anymore, and immediately sent a message to the driver, Master Zhang, to pick him up, while she went downstairs to talk to her adoptive mother, and brought the supplies she had prepared in advance to go to the hospital! On the way to the hospital, Lan Shu suddenly felt a stomachache! Master Zhang drove the car steadily at first, but when he saw Director Lan¡¯s painful expression through the rearview mirror, Master Zhang, who was already an experienced driver, also became nervous, and his driving speed was even higher than before¡ª Although Lan Shu has no experience in giving birth, she has heard from her mother-in-law Wei Qiushuang, adoptive mother Chang Chunfang, and biological mother Xu Shan that regular contractions are the precursor to giving birth! The stomach pain every few minutes made her sure that she must be about to give birth. So Lan Shu immediately called Xiaobai on her cell phone to inform her of the news. As for the parents-in-law, Xiaobai will let you know when the time comes. Arrive at the hospital, go through hospitalization, and check your body. This series of procedures, Lan Shu is accompanied by her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang. Fortunately, half a month ago, Chang Chunfang accompanied her daughter to the hospital for a routine obstetric examination. She had some understanding of the general situation of the hospital, at least she knew where to go. Before entering the delivery room, Lan Shu finally saw Xiao Bai hurriedly running towards her from the other side of the hospital aisle¡ª "Lan Shu, how are you doing?" This is the first time for Xiaobai to experience this kind of thing. Even though he studies medicine and has excellent grades in school, he still can''t help being nervous when it''s the turn of his closest person to give birth! At this time, Lan Shu''s face was already pale from the pain, and a few strands of hair were soaked in sweat on her forehead, and she looked very sad at first glance. She was in so much pain that she was struggling to speak. Fortunately, what Xiaobai said next made Lanshu feel relieved a lot¡ª "Don''t worry, Lan Shu, the new anesthetic drug developed by our team last year started mass production a few months ago, and there have been many clinical trials before." "Nowadays the anesthetic desflurane has been used in the hospital for a long time, and the doctors here have relatively mature anesthesia techniques. When you use the anesthetic later, you won''t be in pain..." Anesthetic? Lan Shu breathed a sigh of relief. (end of this chapter) Chapter 347: girl Chapter 347 Girl In the next production process, because the amount of anesthetics needs to be controlled, even with the assistance of anesthetics, the pain of uterine contractions is unavoidable. Only under the action of the medicine, the pain was relieved, but it also made Lan Shu tremble from the pain, unable to control herself. The process of giving birth was quite difficult, it lasted from afternoon to night, and it was not until after midnight that Lan Shu gave birth to the child¡ª Following the loud cry of the baby in the delivery room, outside the delivery room, Xiaobai, his parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law were all waiting. A moment later, the obstetrician and gynecologist came out holding a small red package, "The baby is born, it''s a girl." When he said this sentence, the doctor in the delivery room had already prepared in his heart that the family members would be unhappy. In this age of patriarchy, as an obstetrician and gynecologist, she can almost see those people who heard that the mother gave birth to a daughter and the family members yelled directly in front of the delivery room door! Although the family in front of us seems to be in good condition, the better the family, the more they pay attention to boys. So after the beautiful woman in the delivery room gave birth to her daughter, she probably had a hard time in the future. The doctor was thinking about it, but the next second, she saw the smiling faces of the family in front of her. The child''s father asked worriedly, "How is my wife?" The doctor was slightly taken aback. It is really rare to see family members who care about the mother''s situation immediately after the child is born. But now that someone asked, she answered truthfully, "The mother is tired and still resting, and needs to be observed for two hours before being released from the delivery room." Hearing that Lan Shu is fine, Xiao Bai is finally relieved. Then he set his eyes on the baby in his mother''s arms, with a smile on his face. Obviously, he likes this daughter very much. In fact, Xiaobai has always wanted a cute daughter more than a son. He didn''t say it before, but he was worried that his thoughts would put pressure on Lan Shu. But now, he finally got what he wanted! Wei Qiushuang was also very happy to hear that she had a granddaughter. Gu Anguo didn''t have any patriarchal thoughts in his heart, and he had two sons, each of whom was troubled since he was a child. He heard that girls would be very well-behaved, so now that he heard that his daughter-in-law gave birth to a little granddaughter, Gu Anguo I am happy. Aside, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were slightly relieved to see that their in-laws didn''t mind their daughter giving birth to a girl. As for the daughter giving birth to a boy or a girl, it doesn''t matter to them, they will be very happy. Chang Chunfang was also smiling, looking at Shushu''s child, feeling happy for her daughter. At this time, she suddenly thought of her biological daughter, who was heard to be about the same date as Shushu. I don''t know when Xinya''s child will be born? Although Chang Chunfang hadn''t inquired about Lan Xinya for a long time, Lan Xinya was her child after all, a piece of flesh that fell from her body, so she didn''t think about it or care about it at all. , is also impossible. ¡­ At this time, Lan Xinya, who Chang Chunfang was thinking about, was suddenly woken up by a stomachache when she was sleeping in the middle of the night! She couldn''t help crying out in pain, and soon alarmed Meng''s father and mother downstairs. Meng Heng didn''t come back last night, he was in the army, so it was Meng''s father and mother who sent Lan Xinya to the hospital. And Lan Xinya reacted too much because of the strong contractions, and her amniotic fluid broke on the way. In the hospital, Lan Xinya was pushed into the delivery room as soon as she arrived. A few hours later, Lan Xinya gave birth to a baby boy. At 8:30 in the morning, when Meng Heng hurried over from the army, his son had already been born. Knowing that Lan Xinya''s mother and child were safe, Meng Heng heaved a sigh of relief. At this moment, Lan Xinya has been pushed out of the delivery room and sent to the ward to rest. When Meng Heng heard about it, he immediately went to the ward to see his son and Lan Xinya''s situation. And next to the ward where Lan Xinya was resting, Lan Shu lived¡ª Some time ago, Xu Shan also lamented that her adopted daughter and her biological daughter had similar due dates, would they be born at the same date? At that time, Lan Shu couldn''t help frowning, she didn''t want that to happen. But who would have thought that good fortune would trick others, and she and Lan Xinya just happened to have a baby together in one day! ¡­ Lan Shu''s side, she had already given birth at two o''clock in the morning, and she was overly exhausted. She slept in the obstetrics and gynecology ward of the hospital in the middle of the night, and felt obviously hungry when she woke up in the morning. The birth of the child made her stomach empty, and her stomach was no longer supported by the fetus in her stomach. She had a big appetite and wanted to eat. So Xiaobai stayed in the ward, Wei Qiushuang and Chang Chunfang went to the nearest Chang''an Road, made some digestible food, put it in a thermos bucket, and Wei Qiushuang brought it to the hospital. Chang Chunfang stayed at home and continued to prepare for lunch. Just after giving birth, you need small meals, six meals a day. Wei Qiushuang''s side, as soon as she arrived at the hospital with the thermos, she met Liu Cui, Meng Heng''s mother, and made some food for her daughter-in-law. Liu Cui knew that her daughter-in-law and Mrs. Wei''s daughter-in-law were both daughters of the Lan family. Although her daughter-in-law was not born to the Lan family, she was also raised by the Lan family, so there will always be some relatives. Seeing Mrs. Wei come to the hospital to deliver meals, Liu Cui guessed that the Lan family''s biological daughter should also be born! "Mrs. Wei, when was your daughter-in-law born? My daughter-in-law gave birth at 7 o''clock this morning, a big fat boy who weighs eight pounds and nine taels~!" Speaking of her daughter-in-law giving birth to a fat grandson, Liu Cui couldn''t help grinning happily. Wei Qiushuang knew Liu Cui. Liu Cui was a few years older than her. Although she didn''t live in a large courtyard before, Liu Cui''s husband, Meng Zhen, was the son of her father''s comrade-in-arms. So in fact, when she saw Liu Cui, she should call her sister-in-law Meng. When Liu Cui asked this question, Wei Qiushuang answered casually, "My daughter-in-law was born at two o''clock in the morning this morning." "Yo, how many hours older than our little grandson~" Liu Cui said, then asked again. "By the way, Mrs. Wei, your daughter-in-law gave birth to a boy and a girl?" "It''s a girl." Wei Qiushuang answered neatly with nothing to hide. "Girl...Hello girl." Although Liu Cui said it was good, she actually felt a little sympathetic when she heard Wei Qiushuang say that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a girl. After all, everyone wants grandchildren, right? The grandson of the first child, and the second child will not worry about having a boy or a girl. Wei Qiushuang heard something from Liu Cui''s paused tone, but she didn''t care. She and Liu Cui have a normal relationship, so there is no need to explain, so Wei Qiushuang didn''t talk to Liu Cui much, but seized the time to deliver food to Shushu. On the other side, when Liu Cui was delivering meals to Lan Xinya, she casually mentioned that there were relatives from her natal family who lived next door, and talked about the fact that Lan''s own daughter had a baby. (end of this chapter) Chapter 348: Millionaires are too stingy Chapter 348 Millions of property is too stingy When Lan Xinya learned that Lan Shu gave birth to a baby today, her heart skipped a beat. She thought it was such a coincidence! She and Lan Shu were born on the same day, and their child landed on the same day! "Is she giving birth to a boy or a girl?" Lan Xinya asked Mother Meng. "Girl, she is a few hours earlier than our big treasure, she is my sister~" Liu Cui didn''t have any thoughts, so she answered casually. But these words reached Lan Xinya''s ears, making her laugh immediately! "How capable I was when she was born~ It turned out to be a girl!" While speaking, Lan Xinya''s tone was full of ridicule. God really has eyes, so that Lan Shu can''t even give birth to a son! Because she gave birth to a son, Lan Xinya was so proud that at this moment, her tired body felt less than half after giving birth! ¡­ In the hospital, unlike later generations of mothers who have to stay in the hospital for three or four days after giving birth, today''s mothers generally have no special conditions after giving birth and can be discharged from the hospital the next day. Lan Shu lay in the hospital for a whole day, and ate six meals at a time. Although each meal was not much, she really felt the difference between confinement and the usual. I was nervous and cared for by my family, asking for their health and wellbeing. In the ward, in order not to disturb her rest, the elders refrained from staying longer even if they wanted to see their little granddaughter after delivering the meal. Only Xiaobai was with her all the time. The novice father was busy taking care of the newborn baby, changing diapers, patting and coaxing the baby not to cry. The former Xiaobai had never been in such a hurry when he was doing research projects in the school''s laboratory. Now that he is taking care of the children, he knows what is not easy! ¡­ The next morning, in the hospital, Lan Shu was going to be discharged today. Compared to the feeling that her body was almost being hollowed out after giving birth yesterday, today she got out of bed without being supported, and she can already walk around freely. After breakfast, the elders in the family have a clear division of labor. Some go through the discharge procedures, some carry things, and some hold children. Because of the large number of people, they divided into two cars to go back. Wei Qiushuang, Gu Anguo and Chang Chunfang took their children and took the first car back to Lanshu and Xiaobai''s home on Chang''an Road. Later, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan followed their daughter and son-in-law, preparing to take another bus back together. Several people packed up, just opened the door and walked out of the ward, they saw the door of the next ward was also pushed open from the inside, and Lan Xinya walked out first. Behind her, Mother Meng carefully held the baby in a small quilt. Lan Xinya''s appearance, Lan Shu didn''t notice at all. It was Xu Shan who subconsciously turned around when she heard the sound of the door opening behind, and saw her adopted daughter at a glance! "Xinya, why are you here?!" Xu Shan said in surprise, and then her eyes fell on the quilt in Meng Mu''s arms. "Xinya, have you given birth?" Xu Shan lowered her head slightly, looking at her adoptive daughter''s still swollen belly, she couldn''t be sure whether the child was born or not. It''s no wonder that Xu Shan can''t see it. Because of the sudden weight gain during pregnancy, Lan Xinya''s body shape has become so out of shape that she can''t see her original shadow. Lan Xinya gave birth to a child who weighed about 10 catties. Even if the placenta and amniotic fluid weighed about 10 catties, she lost 20 catties immediately after giving birth, but Lan Xinya had already weighed nearly 180 catties before giving birth. catty! After giving birth, she also weighed more than 160 kilograms. Because of her pregnancy, her belly was loose and her waist fat accumulated, so now her belly looks at least like other mothers who are seven or eight months pregnant. At this time, Xu Shan''s hesitation made Lan Xinya frown unhappily. She replied coldly, "Of course I gave birth! I gave birth to a boy~!" As she spoke, she looked directly at Lan Shu. This obviously has other meanings, and others will know that she is making a comparison on purpose. Opposite, Lan Weicheng was startled, did Xinya know that Shu Shu gave birth to a daughter? Lan Shu was also a little surprised, it seems that Lan Xinya knew that she lived in the next ward. Now Lan Xinya''s tone is a joke that she gave birth to a daughter, and she gave birth to a son? Lan Shu didn''t like Lan Xinya at first, but now Lan Xinya even mocked her daughter''s gender, how could she bear it? So Lan Shu, who was planning to leave the hospital, stopped, turned around, and met Lan Xinya''s gaze. "Having a boy or a girl is not the most important thing. After the child grows up, whether he has the ability and whether he can live a good life is the key." As soon as Lan Shu finished speaking, Lan Xinya sneered and started to sneer, "Of course it''s not important to have a girl, a boy is the foundation of a family! If you don''t have a son, the incense will be broken~!" Saying this sentence, Lan Xinya only felt that she was finally elated! This is the benefit of having a son! Otherwise, I wouldn''t be so confident when I speak now! Lan Xinya felt that she was definitely better than Lan Shu this time, but the next second, she saw Lan Shu, and Gu Jue stood up with a cold face. "Who said daughters are not important?" Xiao Bai''s voice was so cold. Daughter is his little padded jacket! his baby! "So what if we don''t have a son? We will leave millions of dollars to our daughter in the future, and we will just recruit a son-in-law." Xiaobai himself had the idea of ??becoming a son-in-law, but he couldn''t achieve it in the end. And now when he thinks that his daughter will marry another man when she grows up, even though her daughter is still young, he is still young, but at this moment, Xiao Bai can already feel the reluctance of his old father! So he has already decided that he will definitely recruit a son-in-law in the future! Their daughters don¡¯t marry, they do! On the opposite side, Lan Xinya heard Gu Jue say that she was worth millions. She was really shocked by this amount! Is the Gu family so rich? No! The Gu family must not have so much money, so Gu Jue and Lan Shu have so much money? Lan Xinya was thinking about it, but in the next second, she heard Lan Shu disapprovingly refute Gu Jue''s words. "Millions of property? Are you so stingy with your daughter? There are still a decade or two before our daughter grows up. Let''s work a little harder. How can we give 100 million by then?" Lan Shu''s words are definitely not a lie, only her own property can now be estimated at 20 to 30 million, or even more! The previous more than 8 million yuan in her account was a dividend profit, not the value of the entire property. So when your child grows up, 100 million is simply a small goal, right? These words reached Lan Xinya''s ears, and Lan Xinya was stunned for a while. Is it stingy to give your daughter a million dollars? Opening your mouth is 100 million? "One hundred million? Lan Shu, are you talking nonsense? Do you know how much one hundred million is?" Regarding Lan Xinya''s question, neither Lan Shu nor Xiao Bai had any intention of answering. There is no need to explain to others whether they have money or not. Aside, Lan Weicheng has something to say. (end of this chapter) Chapter 349: not bad money Chapter 349 Not short of money "Xin Ya, no matter how much money Shu Shu has, or how much she will leave for her children in the future, it has nothing to do with you." Lan Weicheng heard clearly just now that because Xinya gave birth to a boy, she disliked Shushu''s daughter. At this moment, has Xinya forgotten that she is also a girl? From childhood to adulthood, when did the husband and wife dislike Xinya for being a girl? When Lan Xinya heard Lan Weicheng''s words of protecting Lan Shu, she sneered coldly¡ª "Everyone can talk about how much money they leave for their children, but not everyone is lucky enough to have a boy or a girl~!" Lan Xinya didn''t believe that Lan Shu and Gu Jue could leave 100 million to their daughter. Even millions, it is unlikely. After all, a daughter, as for giving so much money? Unless it is because the two cannot have a son, they can only give it to a daughter~! Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, who were about to leave, stopped at almost the same time. The two turned around, frowned and looked at Lan Xinya. "Do you think we are lying when we say we want to leave money for our children?" Xiaobai originally didn''t want to explain to outsiders, but now, Lan Xinya''s attitude made him displeased. Lan Xinya''s words about having boys and girls slandered his children. So Xiaobai felt that it was necessary for him to mention the things that Lan Xinya cared most about, so that Lan Xinya could understand how big the difference between rich and poor was between her and himself! "Not to mention anything else, the new electronic information company under my name has a market value of more than 30 million, and it is expected to increase by two to three times in three years. Isn''t it worth 100 million in the future?" As Xiaobai said, he looked at Lan Xinya coldly with disdain. Besides, Lan Shu heard Xiao Bai''s explanation, looked at Lan Xinya, and answered casually. "Although I don''t have a hundred million now, I still don''t need a few thousand." "By the way, I recently invested more than three million yuan in a new project, and I will invest another four to five million yuan in the future. I will invest money in such a business that you think is not profitable?" Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya and said calmly. Just this one sentence left Lan Xinya dumbfounded in horror! Recently invested more than three million yuan? Next, another four or five million will be invested? ! Lan Xinya couldn''t believe that Lan Shu really had millions of dollars! She came from the countryside, how did she do it! ? And Lan Weicheng was not surprised to hear these words from his daughter and son-in-law. He already knew that Shushu was a genius in business! My son-in-law''s electronic information company has grown from pagers to mobile phones, and the future development is also unlimited! So he had to let Xinya know¡ª "Xin Ya, although Shu Shu doesn''t have 100 million now, but there will definitely be one in the future! Just live your life well, don''t compare yourself to Shu Shu, can''t you?" Even Lan Weicheng couldn''t bear to see the adopted daughter''s self-inflicted boring behavior. He said this as a kind warning to prevent the adopted daughter from humiliating herself again. But this sentence spread to Lan Xinya''s ears. From Lan Xinya''s point of view, an adoptive father is an adoptive father. After having his own daughter, he helps his own daughter to bully her! Seeing the hatred and resentment in her adoptive daughter''s eyes, Xu Shan had no choice but to sigh. She stopped trying to persuade her adoptive daughter in vain, but said to her daughter and son-in-law, "Shu Shu, Gu Jue, let''s go quickly, the child will cry if he doesn''t see his parents for a while." When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai heard about their children, how could they care to spend time here with Lan Xinya? The eyes of the two people skipped Lan Xinya one after another, and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the hospital¡ª Leave Lan Xinya standing in the hospital corridor, maddened by jealousy! Lan Shu''s words, ''Thousands of dollars are not bad for money'' still appear in her mind. '' Thinking of the watch counter I invested 10,000 yuan in, and the cash in hand of more than 5,000 yuan. Although Lan Xinya knew that the money in her hands was far from the money in Lan Shu''s hands, she never expected that now that she knew about the wealth in Lan Shu''s hands, the gap between them would be so big! Aside, Lan Xinya''s mother-in-law Liu Cui remained silent from the beginning to the end. She has long been shocked by the millions and tens of millions that the biological daughter and son-in-law of the Lan family said! As far as their family is concerned, she and her wife have been working for decades, but they have only saved 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The daughter and son-in-law of the Lan family are all so promising, the amount of money is beyond the imagination of ordinary people like them! In addition to being shocked that other people are so rich, Liu Cui also felt that it was not her turn to intervene in the affairs of her daughter-in-law and her adoptive parents. That''s why she didn''t say a word. And it was this silence that made her hear that her daughter-in-law cared so much about boys and girls. Although she was asked to say that it is indeed a good thing to have a big fat grandson in the family, but the daughter-in-law can''t catch someone who gave birth to a daughter and laugh at it like this? Is this still the gentle, virtuous, kind-hearted girl her son brought home? Liu Cui suddenly discovered that she hadn''t even seen clearly what her daughter-in-law was really like before! So when the son married his wife, was he also deceived by the appearance of the daughter-in-law? Liu Cui, who had just given birth to a big fat grandson, suddenly felt agitated in her heart. Families like theirs want a good daughter-in-law, but obviously, her daughter-in-law is not the standard good daughter-in-law in her mind. Liu Cui sighed silently, in her heart she only hoped that her daughter-in-law would know how to behave when she was at home, and live well with her son. For the sake of her son''s family harmony, Liu Cui intends to bury what she saw today in her heart and not tell her son. But Liu Cui didn''t know what kind of person Lan Xinya was. Her son Meng Heng already knew about it. When Meng Heng came back from the hospital after completing the discharge procedures, what he saw was his mother and Lan Xinya standing at the door of the ward. Meng Heng didn''t ask what happened just now, lest bringing up the past would only make Lan Xinya angry again. And if his mother has something on his mind or worries, if he wants to talk, he will naturally find time to talk to himself. "Let''s go, it''s time to go back." Meng Heng said, took the child from his mother, carried the child out of the hospital, and the three of them took the bus home. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shu, Xiao Bai, Lan Weicheng, and Xu Shan drove home together. At home, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo, the new grandpa and grandma, were sitting in the living room downstairs, looking at the baby who had just woken up with a smile on their faces. Besides, Chang Chunfang was not too close. Now is the time for grandparents and granddaughter to get along, and she will not rush forward to disturb her. Although she also wants to see her granddaughter, Chang Chunfang knows that during the time she will take care of Shushu and her confinement, she will spend more time with her granddaughter~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 350: people who do great things Chapter 350 A person who does great things Not long after, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai also came back. The unhappiness when facing Lan Xinya just now was not brought into the house by the two of them at all. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also entered the room together, and soon joined the ranks of Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo. The four of them surrounded the well-behaved, non-crying baby, happily watching non-stop. "Our little granddaughter is so cute! Other people''s children are born wrinkled like a monkey. Look at our little baby, so white and tender." Wei Qiushuang said with a smile. "Yeah, my little girl looks like Shushu, and her nose and mouth look like Gu Jue. She must be a little beauty when she grows up!" Xu Shan also answered from the side. "Pretty is for sure, look at what the child''s parents look like, the little girl will not look bad!" Lan Weicheng has absolute confidence in the beauty of his granddaughter! When Gu Anguo heard this, he also smiled and nodded in agreement. Seeing how much the elders of the family loved her daughter so much, Lan Shu was actually relieved. Although she doesn''t have the idea of ??patriarchy, but after all, she was born in this era, and affected by the general environment, patriarchy is the norm for many people. Now, the reactions of the elders make Lan Shu feel lucky that she can meet such enlightened family members. Newborn babies eat and drink more frequently, urinate in a short while, and then cry because they are hungry. So the grandparents, grandmothers, grandpas, and grandmas around the children could only watch their granddaughters and granddaughters being carried upstairs by their mothers. Perhaps raising children is the instinct of every mother. From the birth of the child to the present, in only one day, Lan Shu can already feed the child without any obstacles in her heart. ¡­ At this time, in the Meng family in Kyoto, Lan Xinya, who brought the child home, was also facing the situation of raising the child. Lan Xinya is very important to this son she gave birth to. This is the grandson of the Meng family, the root of the Meng family! With this son, her status in the Meng family will obviously go up to another level. So Lan Xinya regards herself as very important. She originally pretended to be virtuous and virtuous in front of the Meng family''s parents, but now after having a son, she slowly reveals her true nature. Taking care of children is not an easy task, although Lan Xinya''s mother-in-law Liu Cui has asked for leave from the unit, helping to take care of the children, change diapers, and wash diapers as much as possible. But for feeding, Lan Xinya has to do it herself. Others have always taken care of her, now she is not used to letting her take care of a baby who cries and cries all the time, and has to be held by her all the time. I was forced to put all my energy on a child. In just a few days, Lan Xinya''s patience was exhausted. The son whom Lan Xinya was so proud of had become an existence that gave Lan Xinya a headache when she saw it! But such days will continue¡ª ¡­ A month later, Lan Shu finally gave birth. Staying at home for a whole month, eating and sleeping, eating and sleeping, six meals a day, let Lan Shu''s originally fairly standard figure now gain several catties! On the day of confinement, Lan Shu weighed herself on the scale, and she found that she weighed nearly 120 catties. Since she succeeded in losing weight, this is the first time she has gained weight to this extent. But in order to have milk for the child, she will not try to lose weight for at least one year. After confinement, the first thing Lan Shu did was to take a shower and then go out to see the architect. A week ago, Lan Shu received a call and learned that the architect she had hired had completed the drawings of the community planning. Because she was still in confinement at that time, although Lan Shu felt that her body was fine, she couldn''t resist the worries of the elders in the family, and she was also afraid that Xiao Bai would worry about her. So she can only wait for the confinement period before going to work. After having a child, many concerns also follow. Lan Shu was afraid that if she left for too long, the child would be hungry at any time at home, so she and the architect made an appointment to meet at the wedding dress studio at No. 201 Chang''an Road. After talking about things like this, it will also be convenient for her to rush back as soon as possible. The architect was hired by Lan Shu through the Gu family''s connections. The other party''s name is Zuo Guan, who is a relatively well-known architect in China. Lan Shu was able to invite him not only because of her connections, but also because of a satisfactory price. Ordinary architects¡¯ quotations, architectural design fees plus one project, range from tens to hundreds of dollars depending on the size of the project and the time period. Lan Shu directly offered 3,000 yuan to buy out the architect Zuoguan for half a year! Earning 3,000 yuan in half a year, an average of 500 yuan a month, such a high salary, almost no one can refuse. Even Zuo Guan was shocked by such a monthly salary! But Lan Shu agreed in advance that a high salary corresponds to a good design. In addition to the original design foundation of Zuoguan, Lan Shu also put forward some design ideas beyond this era. What she wants to do is a high-end residential area, but because the current construction technology is limited, it is difficult to build too high a floor, so she can only consider small high-rise bungalows. In the living room on the first floor of the wedding dress studio, Lan Shu looked at the design drawings one by one. Besides, Zuo Guan explains each picture in detail. There are more than 50 pictures, which draw the planning, floor design, appearance, and interior of the entire community in great detail. Zuo Guan is worthy of being a professional architect. Based on the nine-story bungalow that Lan Shu requested, the underground parking garage, the pipeline and circuit design of the whole building were carefully designed in every aspect. After reading all the design drawings, Lan Shu asked a few more questions about the safety of the elevator, and then proposed some ideas for the supporting entertainment facilities in the entire residential area. In the end, the two discussed for two or three hours before they fully connected the drawings. Zuo Guan used to only know that Ms. Lan was very rich, and he was willing to spend money, offering himself a salary that was more than twice the market rate! He originally thought that Ms. Lan might be under the influence of her family. The family is rich and acts like a nouveau riche. But now, after he got to know Miss Lan a little bit, he realized that although the woman in front of him was young, she was very thoughtful. Intuition told Zuo Guan that this Miss Lan is a person who can do great things, and she will definitely become famous in the real estate industry in the future! So Zuoguan became more serious about this project. He wants to let Miss Lan see his ability, and in the future, he will take on more construction projects under Miss Lan''s hands! After finishing the work, Lan Shu apologized and told the architect that she still had something to do, and then left in a hurry. It¡¯s not that she is rude and refuses to invite people to dinner, but that she has a baby at home, so it¡¯s really hard to walk away¡ª ¡­ Right now, just as Lan Shu thought, she left for three hours, and the child was almost starving~! Children have small stomachs and were just born no bigger than walnuts. Now they have grown for a month and haven¡¯t grown much. They get hungry as soon as they urinate, followed by crying. (end of this chapter) Chapter 351: acquaintances gather Chapter 351 Acquaintances Gather At home, Chang Chunfang hugged the child and kept coaxing her. Xiaobai heard that Lan Shu had something to go out today, so she asked for leave from school and came back. Seeing his little daughter''s face flushed from crying, he was very distressed, and tried to tease her beside him, but couldn''t stop the crying of the child. Fortunately, at this time, Lan Shu returned home. When Lan Shu walked into the yard, she heard the cry of the child. At that moment, she almost ran instinctively, and came to the child at the fastest speed. When she carried the baby into her arms, perhaps the little baby felt her mother''s arms and smelled her familiar breath, and suddenly stopped crying and became quiet. Lan Shu looked at the child in her arms. The little girl''s face, which was flushed from crying before, gradually turned better, and she looked at herself quietly with her big clear eyes. A moment later, the white and soft baby even grinned, showing a cute smile towards himself. This scene made Lan Shu''s nervousness about the child instantly turned cute. Her daughter is so cute! She is so cute that she is a little reluctant to leave her child''s side... Aside, Xiao Bai was finally relieved to see her daughter stop crying. Then he couldn''t help stretching out his hand, and gently poked his daughter''s soft little face. "The little girl is so good at crying that she couldn''t coax her back just now." Xiaobai said, sighing. It seems that I still spend too little time with my child, so the little girl in his family does not recognize her father, and only keeps quiet and smiles at her mother. Thinking of this, Xiaobai has already made a plan in his heart. When he finishes his work in the laboratory recently, he will apply to leave school for a period of time, and go home to spend time with his wife and take care of his children. ¡­ The next day, the child''s full moon feast. The full moon wine for the little granddaughter of the Gu family started bustlingly in the Jingdu Hotel. On this day, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang were smiling from ear to ear. If they didn''t have to entertain guests, they wouldn''t even leave their little granddaughter''s side. Wei Jin and his wife Li Qi also came to the scene early. Today, the two of them hardly showed their faces outside. When they arrived, they stayed by their great-granddaughter''s side, smiling cheerfully, looking at the white, tender, round and round woman wrapped in the thin quilt. little baby. Because it was the first time to meet their great-granddaughter, Wei Jin and Li Qi also specially prepared gifts¡ª A safety lock carved from emerald jade, and a pair of small gold bracelets. This gift was bought by Wei Jin and Li Qi after they learned that they had a great-granddaughter. Cuiyu Pingan Lock said what kind of emerald it is, and the head of the water is very good, Wei Jin doesn''t understand this, he only believes that his old friends say it is good, then it is really good. The gold bracelet is a handcrafted Ruyi double-headed gold bracelet that Li Qi hired for almost half a month. Lan Shu received this gift from Xiaobai''s grandpa and grandma, and really felt how much the two elders loved and valued her children. Needless to say the weight of a pair of gold bracelets, the price of that emerald green jade is definitely not low! "Xiao Niu Niu is already full moon, has she got a name yet?" Wei Jin was very concerned about this. Li Qi was also listening carefully, and also wanted to know the name of his great-granddaughter. "It''s ready, it''s called Gu Qingning." Xiaobai replied. This name was given by Lan Shu. The word Qing means clarity, purity, and elegance, and the word Ning means tranquility and peace, implying happiness and tranquility. When Wei Jin heard the name of his great-granddaughter, he savored it carefully, "Qingning~ Good! It sounds noble and elegant when you hear it." Li Qi also read this name, and called softly to the little baby, "Xiao Qingning." It was the first time for the little baby to see so many people in front of her eyes. She opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously. This clever little appearance attracted all the elders to like her even more. Today''s full moon wine, in addition to family members, many friends also came. Friends of Mr. Wei, friends of Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang, friends of Xiao Bai, and friends of Lan Shu. There were more than 50 tables for the banquet. During the banquet, Lan Shu saw many acquaintances of her own. Yu Yuan, the regional manager of his clothing factory, Yan Juan, the manager of the cosmetics company, Chen Ping, the manager of the cosmetics R&D department, and Zhou Di, the deputy manager of the R&D and sales departments. And Fang Minda, the manager of the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory she promoted later, Huang Qian, the head of the high-end wedding dress customization studio... Besides, when Zhu Hong, deputy director of the TV station, and Lan Shu were working at the TV station, Cui Nian, a colleague with a good relationship, also came. When Lan Shu saw her partners Lu Wei and Qian Qing in the Walkman factory, they also brought her good news. "The CD player is now in mass production in the newly opened factory, and the CD with the recorded TV series "Demon Killing Record" will also be sold to the outside world soon. After a month, we will see the performance." Lu Wei has always spoken crisply. But Qian Qing seemed to talk a little more. "Miss Lan, just wait and see this time, it will definitely make you a lot of money! But hurry up and produce other TV series you filmed, our optical disc factory is waiting~!" Qian Qing moved to Lan Said in front of Shu. Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Soon." Her film and television company has not been involved much since it was established. The actors and staff all rely on their own development. A while ago, when the financial account was paid to the employees of the company, Lan Shu took a look at the progress of the company''s projects. She learned that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law TV series "Family" has basically been edited, and she can arrange a time to broadcast it on TV after she negotiates the copyright broadcast price with the TV station. Lan Shu had a baby and was in confinement before, so she delayed this matter until now. Since Qian Qing asked, she simply handed over the copyright of the new drama recently, and asked the disc factory to record it in advance. This can be regarded as taking advantage of the popularity of the new drama to drive the sales of CDs and CD players. After hearing Lan Shu''s thoughts, Qian Qing immediately became happy! After all, what he is most passionate about is making money. Although Qian Qing was in a good mood, he said, "Hey~ we two brothers really can''t escape the fate of working hard for you, but it''s Miss Lan, if you were someone else, we wouldn''t Would you like to cooperate in any way?" The reality is that Lan Shu can bring them the benefits of making money, but not necessarily others. So even if he made money for Lan Shu, Qian Qing had no complaints. Lan Shu knew what kind of temperament Qian Qing was, and when she heard Qian Qing''s words, she smiled, "Then work hard, and earn more money for me in the future~" Qian Qing was not angry when he was ''used'', but replied with a smile, "Miss Lan, just watch~!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 352: precious Chapter 352 Treasure On this day, at little Gu Qingning''s full moon banquet, there were many guests and it was very lively. In addition to meeting acquaintances and receiving red envelopes, Lan Shu also received a lot of gifts. There are various toys for children, hand-knitted children''s sweaters, and various more expensive gold locks, silver bracelets, and jade pendants. When the full moon wine was over, there were so many gifts in front of Lan Shu that Master Zhang drove three times before they were all delivered! ¡­ On the other side, today is also the day when Meng Guodong, the little grandson of the Meng family, celebrates the full moon wine. Meng family, Meng Heng''s son is very cautious in naming his son. The backgrounds of the two elders of the Meng family made them very interested in the name ''Guodong''. Pillar of the country, what a moral~! Although Lan Xinya felt that the name was a little foreign, but thinking of the meaning of the national pillar, she finally agreed. But before the child grew up, she also gave her child a nickname, Dabao. means literally, her treasure, the treasure of Lao Meng''s family! Meng Dabao''s full moon wine is not served at the Kyoto Hotel. Although the Meng family can¡¯t afford the consumption over there, the full moon is different from the marriage of a son, and the old couple feel that there is no need to be so extravagant. So the location of Meng''s Full Moon Wine is located in a slightly larger restaurant in an urban area. This restaurant is incomparable with the Kyoto Grand Hotel, but it can also hold a banquet for a large table of guests. Meng¡¯s grandson¡¯s full moon wine served more than a dozen tables. This is because Meng¡¯s father, Meng Xiang, and Meng¡¯s mother, Liu Cui, have more colleagues in their units. and all comrades who have a good relationship with Meng Heng are here. Colleagues and friends of the three members of Meng¡¯s family occupied a dozen or so tables, and the remaining two or three tables were relatives. As for Lan Xinya''s relatives...no one. She has close friends in Kyoto, and only five or six of them came. Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan both went to the granddaughter''s full moon wine scene today. It''s not that they didn''t come to Lan Xinya''s side, but Lan Xinya never sent them an invitation or even made a phone call from the beginning to the end. Lan Xinya didn''t inform, so Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan naturally didn''t inquire about the time and place of the banquet held by Meng''s family. In the hospital before, when they heard Xinya laughing at their biological daughter and their granddaughter like that, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan had already made up their minds. Hurry up and paste it. Therefore, Lan Xinya''s son''s full moon wine feast became the joy of the Meng family. And Lan Xinya has no relatives in Kyoto, and not many friends, she looks lonely and pitiful. After the banquet, the two elders of the Meng family received a lot of gift money, and some friends brought gifts to his grandson, most of which were rattles, small rattan balls, and small slingshots for boys to play with, as well as a small amount of clothes worn by boys. Lan Xinya doesn''t care about these things, because they are all worthless. What Lan Xinya valued was the gift money received by the Meng family''s banquet guests. In Lan Xinya''s opinion, the gift money received for her son''s full moon wine should naturally go to her. So after the guests left, everyone returned to Meng''s house, and Lan Xinya talked about the gift money to Meng Heng. After hearing her thoughts, Meng Heng was really taken aback¡ª "Most of the guests who came to participate in the full moon wine today are relatives and friends of their parents. If there are any weddings and funerals in those people''s families, their parents will go to the other party''s house to accompany the gift, so we shouldn''t ask for this money." "But this is our son''s full moon wine. It''s inappropriate for parents to take the money away?" Lan Xinya frowned, her expression was obviously unhappy, and her tone was full of blame. Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Heng also frowned. He is not an unreasonable person, he must not take the gift money his parents received from friends and colleagues! But Meng Heng didn''t want Lan Xinya to be angry. Although he no longer has any feelings for Lan Xinya, he only regards Lan Xinya as the mother of his child. But Lan Xinya is married to him, after all, he is also his family, Meng Heng has to take Lan Xinya''s thoughts into consideration no matter what. So after thinking about it, Meng Heng discussed with Lan Xinya, "I''ll go and tell my parents, share the gift money from my comrades and your friends and give it to you." Meng Heng was already very embarrassed by doing this. He went to mention this kind of thing to his parents, in fact, he wanted to hurt their parents. But in order to prevent Lan Xinya from feeling that the Meng family was bullying others, Meng Heng had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell his parents about it. Meng''s father and Meng''s mother did not expect that their daughter-in-law would ask their son to mention the dowry! Grandson Full Moon Wine doesn¡¯t receive a lot of gift money today, and most of the guests who come to them are from ordinary families. Even if a few families have money, they can¡¯t sell thousands or tens of thousands like the Lan family. So the gift money of three or five yuan per person accounted for the majority, and some people took six or seven yuan. There were a total of 14 tables of banquets, and many of them brought their families to eat, so the total gift money was more than three hundred, less than four hundred yuan. This amount of money is nothing compared to the money of the Lan family. In general, if there are elders in the family, the gift money is taken by the elders by default, so Meng''s father and mother did not specifically mention the gift money. They think that their money will be left to their son, daughter-in-law and grandson sooner or later, and then as the grandson grows up, the money spent on the grandson will definitely be more than that. But what the son said now made Father Meng silent. Meng''s mother, Liu Cui, thought of the temper of her daughter-in-law she had seen with her own eyes when she was alone with her in the hospital. Liu Cui is not afraid of trouble, but just does not want family harmony. So she looked at her son, "Since Xinya wants it, then you can take it." As she spoke, she took out the gift money she received today from a black bag she carried with her. All of them were paper notes worth fifty cents, which she sorted out in a thick stack. She and her husband have savings, and they are not short of three or four hundred yuan. One thing more is worse than one thing less. Aside, Meng Xiang didn''t speak, and Meng Heng didn''t go to pick up the money either. "Mom, I can''t take all of these. Didn''t we write a gift list? Just divide the money from my comrades-in-arms and Xinya''s friends. Let''s follow the rules." Meng Heng has to insist, otherwise he will give everything to Lan Xinya, what kind of talk is that? Liu Cui knew her son''s temper, so she had no choice but to nod when she saw what his son said. So Liu Cui took the gift list to settle the accounts. In the end, Meng Heng took a total of 93 yuan back to the room and handed it to Lan Xinya. Lan Xinya got the money, looked at the stack of odds and ends in her hand, and immediately frowned. "How much is this? Just this little?" She felt that there were so many people serving the full moon wine today, and there were quite a few comrades in arms of Meng Heng. ! (end of this chapter) Chapter 353: worse than a dog Chapter 353 Life is worse than a dog Meng Heng heard Lan Xinya''s doubt, he looked into Lan Xinya''s eyes, and said clearly. "Xinya, our relatives are not as rich and generous as your adoptive parents. Today, you and my friends are the only gift money." "Twenty of my comrades-in-arms came, and most of the gift money was three yuan, and some were five yuan, but your friend came five people, each ranging from three to five yuan, and received a total of 20 yuan. One dollar." Meng Heng''s words came to Lan Xinya''s ears, and it didn''t seem like a lie, but what she didn''t expect was that her five friends would only pay three to five yuan as a gift? ! "Poor ghost!" She couldn''t help cursing in a low voice. But these words fell into Meng Heng''s ears, but made Meng Heng feel strange and his face flushed. He thought Lan Xinya''s word ''poor ghost'' was referring to his comrades in arms and their family''s situation. It is a shame for Meng Heng to be told by his daughter-in-law that his family is poor and his friends are poor! But when he saw his son sleeping soundly in the small quilt on the bed beside him, Meng Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and forced himself to calm down. Just think it is for the children... After Meng Heng handed the money to Lan Xinya, he quickly left the room. Here, Lan Xinya got the money, although she disliked the small amount of money, but it was a bit of a deal. Since learning about Lan Shu''s wealth, Lan Xinya has become more obsessed with money. She wants to save money, a lot of money, and even if she can''t give her son a million in the future, she doesn''t want to give her son nothing in the future. Such obsession made her not want to let go of even a little gift money. ¡­ In May, the temperature has completely turned warm these days. On Labor Day, Lanshu''s real estate project officially broke ground! The three pieces of land she bought before, one of which is about 50 mu, is not far from the city of Kyoto. Most of the ground was a deserted forest, with only a few households nearby, living in dilapidated houses. After Lanshu''s real estate company offered a demolition fee that satisfied the other party, several families signed a contract to move out and buy another house. On the day of the groundbreaking, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai attended the scene and cut the ribbon. After that, the workers started to work under the arrangement of the architect Zuoguan! The construction team that Lan Shu recruited this time included more than a dozen practitioners of architecture in addition to physical workers, so as to ensure that the construction of the construction site was strictly in accordance with the design drawings. After the ribbon-cutting was over, Lan Shu didn''t delay for long, and immediately returned to the car parked nearby. At this moment here, Chang Chunfang was waiting with her two-month-old Xiao Qingning in her arms. The two-month-old child usually sleeps a little less than before, because he is used to his mother being around, so the little girl will cry heart-piercingly if she can''t see her mother when she wakes up. So Lan Shu will take her little baby with her wherever she goes. In the car, Lan Shu heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Xiao Qingning hadn''t woken up yet. After that, she gently carried the child over, and after Xiaobai got into the car, Master Zhang started the car and drove towards home¡ª ¡­ When Lanshu''s construction site started, the community house that Gu Cheng''s real estate company invested in and built in Haicheng had been completely completed, and the interior decoration was also complete. This community covers an area of ??more than ten acres, and a total of twenty six-storey staircase buildings have been built. The exterior of the small building is uniformly pasted with palm-sized white tiles, the interior is painted with white walls, and the doors and windows have been installed. According to the current level of decoration, this level is already in a state of decoration. In addition, a certain amount of greening has also been carried out in the community. Such a house, after the company published it in the newspaper and put it on sale, soon welcomed customers to see the house. At this time, Xu Yunjie also became an employee of the sales department from the supervisor of the construction site. Xu Yunjie''s appearance is not bad. When he first came to Haicheng, he worked in the restaurant during the period of time, which also allowed him to accumulate some ability to deal with people. So now as a salesman, his sales performance can be said to be very good! Sold eleven houses from him in the first week! In addition to basic salary, sales staff also have performance commission. Selling a house, he can get a bonus of 20 yuan, so Xu Yunjie received a salary of more than 500 yuan in the month when he was paid! It was the first time for Xu Yunjie to have so much cash in hand. The money he earned this month can match his salary for almost a year before! Generally, when a man has money in his hands, his heart will be more or less smug. Although Xu Yunjie didn''t do anything out of the ordinary, at this moment, he felt that he was really capable! So capable that I unconsciously began to dislike Li Xiumei. Thinking of Li Xiumei, Xu Yunjie couldn''t help feeling angry. Since Li Xiumei forced him to marry her, Xu Yunjie''s monthly salary has been robbed by Li Xiumei. I can''t earn a penny from my hard work, and I have to wait on Li Xiumei when I get home from get off work, serving tea and water, doing laundry and cooking, and my life is worse than that of a dog. Even if Li Xiumei gradually treated him less badly, at least she didn''t treat him like an enemy. But Xu Yunjie still has to do all the housework. After getting used to these oppressions, Xu Yunjie even thought, since this is the case, how about living well with Li Xiumei? Li Xiumei was pregnant with his child before and had a miscarriage. It is very difficult to conceive again, but it is not impossible to conceive. Since they want to live together, Xu Yunjie wants to have a queen. Men and women live together under the same roof. Even if the relationship is not good, something can always happen. What''s more, the two of them have obtained the certificate and are in a serious husband and wife relationship. Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei are no longer inexperienced innocent young people, so even if the normal physiological needs of both parties are met, there is often a married life between them. Because Xu Yunjie was working as a supervisor on the construction site a few months ago, Li Xiumei disliked him for his sweaty smell, and always used this reason to keep him away, so the intimate relationship between the two decreased sharply. Now, Xu Yunjie has changed jobs and received so much salary, he feels that he will finally feel proud when he goes back! He wants to see if Li Xiumei still dislikes herself! He wants to let Li Xiumei know that if he wants to live a good life, he has to rely on himself! As long as Li Xiumei serves herself comfortably, he will give her the money. Xu Yunjie was happy because he was paid today, so he didn''t stay in the sales department for too long, and went home directly after work. But what he didn''t expect was that in the house he and Li Xiumei rented, he just took out the key and before he opened the door, he heard the man''s growl and the woman''s suppressed scream in the room¡ª Outside the door, no matter how stupid Xu Yunjie is, he still knows what''s going on inside! Little cuties, remember to vote for the monthly ticket at the end of the month~(`) (end of this chapter) Chapter 354: resentment into hatred Chapter 354 Resentment into Enmity Xu Yunjie was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately opened the door with the key. The moment he pushed the door open, what he saw was the bed in the room. Li Xiumei and another man were naked and stuck together. The whole picture was unsightly! Xu Yunjie''s eyes widened! He didn''t expect Li Xiumei to have **** with another man behind her back! This was still discovered by him. Before he found out, this woman didn''t know how many times she had betrayed herself! In the room, when Li Xiumei and her concubine saw the door being pushed open and Xu Yunjie standing in front of them, Li Xiumei''s face was only flashed with surprise for a moment, and then her expression calmed down quickly. Instead, the man on her bed showed panic in his eyes. The other party knew that Li Xiumei was married, but it was Li Xiumei who seduced him, and he just couldn''t control it. Now that Li Xiumei''s partner discovered their relationship, the man quickly grabbed the clothes he had scattered on the ground and put them on. Then relying on his own size, Xu Yunjie''s small body with good looks couldn''t stop him at all, and the other party quickly fled from the room¡ª Although the man ran away, Li Xiumei was still there. Xu Yunjie glared at Li Xiumei fiercely, almost gnashing his teeth! "Li Xiumei, what do you mean?!" Listening to Xu Yunjie''s questioning, Li Xiumei didn''t show any shame on her face. In front of Xu Yunjie, she calmly put on her clothes slowly, as if nothing happened just now, and said to Xu Yunjie, "It''s quite early to get back from get off work today~" In this sentence, Xu Yunjie could clearly hear Li Xiumei''s mocking of him! She is not worried at all, these scandals of hers were discovered by herself! Instead, he was unscrupulous, and felt that it would be nothing even if he was discovered¡ª Moreover, what Li Xiumei said is that what happened today is not the first time! If it wasn''t because he came back early today, he wouldn''t have discovered it! At this moment, Xu Yunjie''s face turned ashen! How could there be such a shameless woman? Xu Yunjie felt that he was blind at the beginning! Only then can I be with Li Xiumei. He suddenly thought of Lan Shu who he met when he and his boss went on a business trip to Kyoto last year. Xu Yunjie once again regretted that his former self could not persevere, but divorced Lan Shu early. Otherwise, even the big boss of their real estate company would envy themselves now! On the opposite side, Li Xiumei saw Xu Yunjie pursing his lips tightly and keeping silent, she suddenly smiled triumphantly~ "Xu Yunjie, you are a coward. When you saw me sleeping with other men, you didn''t even dare to fight with them. I despise a man like you the most!" Li Xiumei has long disliked Xu Yunjie. This man has no skills, and he only earns so little money a month. In the past, Xu Yunjie followed the big boss, and he was pretty good outside, but later, I don¡¯t know how he offended the big boss, and was thrown by the boss on the construction site and ignored. At that time, Li Xiumei hated Xu Yunjie the most. She felt that she deserved to be with a better man. So Li Xiumei met Liang Ping, a man from a wealthy family who died of his wife, through her identity as an employee of the electrical company. She and Liang Ping have maintained a close relationship for three or four months. Li Xiumei has been waiting for Xu Yunjie to find out, then humiliate Xu Yunjie, and then kick Xu Yunjie away! But she didn''t expect that Xu Yunjie didn''t find out until now, and she was almost impatient waiting~ But think about it, the feeling of having an affair with another man behind Xu Yunjie''s back is quite exciting. Thinking of this, Li Xiumei doesn''t blame Xu Yunjie for discovering it too late. Xu Yunjie saw Li Xiumei do such an embarrassing thing, and even scolded himself confidently, which shocked his three views! "Li Xiumei, don''t you know shame at all?" "Huh~ Shame?" Li Xiumei sneered. "I used to be too stupid to suffer a lot from you. Now I have figured it out, what''s the use of shame? The most important thing is to live a good life!" "But following you, I can''t see anything good to do, so I have to find a man who can make me live a good life." What Li Xiumei said at the moment sounds like she has thought it through thoroughly, but in Xu Yunjie''s view, these words are belittling his ability! Xu Yunjie didn''t think he was incompetent, so his first reaction was to blame Li Xiumei! It''s because this woman is too cheap! That''s why I went to hook up with other men! Although Xu Yunjie didn''t dare to fight the man who was half a head taller than him just now. But at this moment, after he was angered by Li Xiumei''s words, he was not afraid of Li Xiumei''s revenge in the future. Taking advantage of Li Xiumei''s lack of sharp weapons at the moment, Xu Yunjie rushed forward and slapped Li Xiumei''s face several times in succession! ¡¯ Hit it up! Li Xiumei didn''t expect that Xu Yunjie, who had always been frightened by her threats, would dare to do something to her. Even if she fights Xu Yunjie desperately, she is still a woman, and her strength is not as strong as that of a man. What''s more, Xu Yunjie is still furious now! So soon, Li Xiumei was beaten by Xu Yunjie until her mouth was covered with blood, and her body and face were also bruised and purple. That night, Li Xiumei was sent to the hospital, while Xu Yunjie also had bite marks and scratch marks all over his body, and his body hurt everywhere! After returning from the hospital, Li Xiumei filed for divorce from Xu Yunjie. Xu Yunjie glared at Li Xiumei with red eyes. "You have a good idea! It was because you wrote me a letter to seduce me that I was divorced and reduced to where I am today! You are still restless after marrying me, so find another man!" Thinking of Li Xiumei wearing a cuckold for herself, Xu Yunjie couldn''t help but go crazy! "Divorce is impossible! If you dare to sleep with other men in the future, I will continue to beat you! You forced me to marry you back then, so you don''t want to get rid of me in this life!" Xu Yunjie was so excited by Li Xiumei''s cheating behavior and Li Xiumei''s idea of ??divorce that he almost went crazy! This made him think that he and Lan Shu divorced back then, and now Lan Shu is living the best life. Now Li Xiumei also wants to divorce her to live a better life, so he won''t let her go! In the future, he will ask Li Xiumei to serve him with tea and water, laundry and cooking. How Li Xiumei treated him before, how will he get it back in the future! Hearing Xu Yunjie''s words, Li Xiumei, who had already made up her mind, suddenly panicked! She thought that Xu Yunjie was still that wimp who let her flatten and round him and had to obey her. But who knew that after the man''s anger was ignited, the next development would no longer be under Li Xiumei''s control. At this moment, Li Xiumei regretted it in her heart. If she knew this earlier, she shouldn''t have intentionally given Xu Yunjie a chance to catch her cheating, and she shouldn''t have humiliated Xu Yunjie with this. But now, it¡¯s too late to regret¡ª The next thing Li Xiumei faced was the conflict, fight and entanglement with Xu Yunjie for a long time. There is no good life between the two of them anymore, there is only resentment and enmity, and the hatred grows deeper! It¡¯s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~~~ Vote for me~ Vote for me~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 355: no trouble Chapter 355 Not too much trouble In Kyoto, Chang Chunfang left Kyoto not long after Lan Shu''s career development direction entered the real estate industry and the construction of high-end residential areas in Kyoto started. Lan Shu was not surprised that Chang Chunfang wanted to leave. As soon as she came to Jiang City, she must be thinking about the business of the fried chicken shop. Next, Tang Chu is pregnant. Counting the days, Tang Chu''s belly should be more than seven months old. Mobility is inconvenient in the late pregnancy. As a mother-in-law, Chang Chunfang must take care of her daughter-in-law, confinement and childcare for her. Although Lan Shu also needs someone to take care of the children, she is not the kind of person who is selfish and can''t figure things out. If Chang Chunfang only helped her daughter take care of the children and ignored her daughter-in-law, she would be gossiped in the village. Besides, regarding the relationship between Lan Shu and Tang Chu, she would not watch Tang Chu marry into the Lan family and give birth to a child for the Lan family, but not get the care that her mother-in-law should deserve. So on the day Chang Chunfang went back, Lan Shu asked Master Zhang to take a hard drive and sent her back directly. In the car, Lan Shu also bought a lot of specialties from Kyoto in advance, including everything for food and use. Some of these things were bought by her for her adoptive parents, and some were brought to Tang Chu. In addition, she also called the garment factory and told Liu Axing, the current deputy director of the factory, to ask her to provide a pregnancy leave and maternity leave for all the female workers in the factory. Women in the third trimester of pregnancy after six months of pregnancy can work half a day every day, and the basic salary will be paid as usual. The one-month confinement leave after giving birth is also a normal basic salary. Of course, opening a factory is not for charity, lest some people take advantage of loopholes, so this benefit can only be enjoyed by female employees who have worked in the factory for one year. With this regulation on pregnancy leave and maternity leave, Tang Chu can relax at work. Actually, Lan Shu told Tang Chu before that she could suspend work after pregnancy and return to the village to let her elder brother take good care of her. When the child is born, when you want to come back to work, let me know in advance, and she will make arrangements for Tang Chu. But because of Tang Chu''s original family, she has a stronger idea of ??self-reliance than many women. In addition, many working women in this era have to work until the day before giving birth even if they are pregnant. This is already a social norm. So Tang Chu felt that he was not so hypocritical, and he didn''t need to stop work to raise a baby at home. Fortunately, Lan Shu''s eldest brother, Lan Dazhuang, is a person who respects his wife, and he has no objection to Tang Chu''s insistence. It''s just that after Tang Chu became pregnant, Lan Dazhuang went to the county more frequently. I used to come twice a week, but now as long as the family is fine, I come to see my wife almost every day. Anyway, from the village to the county seat, it only takes more than two hours to drive a tractor back and forth. Lan Dazhuang didn''t bother him at all. ¡­ Kyoto, since Chang Chunfang went back, it was really difficult for Lan Shu to take care of the child by herself. Although there is Aunt Man as a nanny at home, Aunt Man is responsible for housework and cooking, and she already has a lot of work. It is absolutely impossible to take care of the children again. In addition, Aunt Man is getting older. Although she is a good person, the habits and ways of raising children of the elderly are different from those of the young. Even if this issue is placed decades later, there will still be ideological conflicts between the two generations on the way of raising children, let alone the current era. So Lan Shu is very concerned about recruiting babysitters. It''s just that good candidates are not so easy to find, so she can only take the child by herself and meet slowly. ¡­ At the beginning of June, at Xiao Qingning''s 100-day banquet, Lan Shu didn''t call so many people. It''s just that Gu and Lan are sitting together and having a meal. This morning, Lan Shu really had a hard time getting her daughter dressed. Before, Xiao Qingning was in swaddling clothes, wearing a bellyband and diapers, so she didn¡¯t need to dress up at all. But now, it''s also a hundred-day banquet, so you should dress better, right? It''s a pity that when she was in a pile of full moon wine, among the children''s clothes given by the guests, she didn''t find a nice little dress. Most of these clothes are hand-sewn, mostly red cotton jackets of common style. Seeing this scene, Lan Shu sighed helplessly. It seems that her clothing factory will add another department for making children''s clothing in the future. Otherwise, she will not be able to dress up her daughter beautifully in the future~! In addition, at the toilet paper factory, Lan Shu also decided to add another production line of children''s diapers. When the child was young, it was a little troublesome to change and wash the diapers wrapped in swaddling clothes, but it was not useless. But in the future, when I go out a little older, I wear beautiful little clothes. If I don¡¯t have diapers, it¡¯s easy to get my clothes dirty. So the production of diapers must be accelerated! Fortunately, at the toilet paper factory, the production technology of sanitary napkins is now very mature, and the soft sanitary napkins can already achieve the effect of instant suction. The production of diapers only needs to add a set of machine accessories for diapers, and then make some upgrades on the basis of the original soft sanitary napkins, and it should be possible to successfully produce diapers. In recent years, Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory and Linjiang Machinery Factory have cooperated quite a lot, so Lan Shu does not plan to ask Mark to customize the machine parts of the diaper model abroad this time. Lan Shu believes in He Sunan''s ability, and it should not be a problem to manufacture children''s diaper-type accessories by referring to other sanitary napkin machine accessories imported from abroad in the factory. Whether it¡¯s beautiful little clothes or diapers that are convenient to go out, you can only have them later. So Lan Shu found a small red cotton dress for her daughter today, and then set off with Xiao Bai to the Kyoto Hotel. ¡­ In the evening, in the private room of the hotel, the Gu family and the Lan family gathered together. Gu Anguo, Wei Qiushuang, and Xu Shan came after work, while Lan Weicheng left the mall early. Seeing that Lan Weicheng, as the boss, has been selling goods in the mall by himself for several years, this perseverance and persistence really makes Lan Shu admire. Actually, after Lan Weicheng became a shareholder of the Walkman Factory, he received a full million in dividends in the past two years! Generally, when a man has money, he will be more or less high-spirited, but Lan Weicheng doesn''t look like a nouveau riche at all, on the contrary, he is as steady as ever and willing to work. Having such a father is really reassuring. During the meal, Wei Qiushuang mentioned that as a mother-in-law, she planned to suspend her job at home and help Lan Shu take care of the children. Wei Qiushuang''s attitude surprised Lan Shu. Although it is a matter of course for a mother-in-law to take care of her daughter-in-law in this era. But not all mothers-in-law are willing to help with the children. Even some old ladies in the countryside who are idle at home are unwilling to work hard to bring up their children, not to mention that Wei Qiushuang has a formal job, and his position is not low. It can be said that there is a leadership team in a certain field! (end of this chapter) Chapter 356: Chapter 356 Lan Shu knows that her mother-in-law should continue her current job rather than take care of the children at home. That is more valuable to Wei Qiushuang. So Lan Shu said, "Mom, I know you want to spend more time with your granddaughter. Then if you are not busy on weekends, come and see Xiao Qingning, or can I send Xiao Qingning to you?" Lan Shu''s answer did not directly respond to Wei Qiushuang''s idea of ??suspending her job, but she also told Wei Qiushuang that she does not need to do it herself to raise the child. Wei Qiushuang could hear what the daughter-in-law meant. To be honest, she really thought about the suspension for a long time. But Wei Qiushuang felt that as a mother-in-law, she should fulfill her responsibilities, so she finally made this decision. But now, her daughter-in-law''s understanding moved her a little. She is not reluctant to part with her current position, nor is it because her work cannot be done by others and must be her. It''s just that she''s been sitting in that position for a long time. It''s a pity if she really quits, and she won''t get used to it for a while. Now, Lan Shu''s answer solved the entanglement in her heart. But Wei Qiushuang won''t just accept Lan Shu''s kindness with peace of mind. "Have you found someone to take care of the child?" Wei Qiushuang asked. "I''m still looking for it, but it should be coming soon." Lan Shu replied. It is not so easy to find a suitable babysitter, so Lan Shu''s words are just to reassure her mother-in-law. Wei Qiushuang didn''t know the exact situation, and she didn''t understand Lanshu''s recruitment criteria, so she thought that her daughter-in-law was almost ready to find someone. So she nodded, "That''s good." And said, "Every weekend in the future, I will take Xiao Qingning out to play~" Although the child is young, he can''t stay at home every day. Even when Lan Shu takes care of him, he will take him out and walk around the yard every day. When Lan Shu heard this, she smiled and replied, "Okay." Everyone sat together for this meal, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the meal was quite enjoyable. During the whole process, Xiao Qingning was held in her arms alternately by grandpa, grandma, grandpa, and grandma, teasing this and complimenting that, while Lan Shu was very happy beside her. After the meal, Lan Shu suddenly discovered that since her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang left the capital, she hadn''t had a peaceful meal! Every time, she is in a hurry, for fear that she will eat too slowly, and when the child makes a fuss, she won''t even have time to eat. So this made Lan Shu even more worried about hiring a babysitter. ¡­ Two days later, a news of the recruitment of a nanny spread in various recruitment circles in Kyoto¡ª¡ª The reason why so many people pay attention to recruiting a babysitter is not only the amazingly high salary, but also the very high requirements for the nanny¡¯s own conditions! At least in the eyes of most ordinary unemployed people, these requirements directly wiped out more than 90% of them! Lan Shu offered three conditions for recruitment. First, under the age of 35, female. Second, you are married, have had children, and know how to take care of them. Third, you must have a diploma from a university, and medicine is preferred. In fact, the first two requirements are very normal. The nanny hired should be younger and have more physical strength and energy to take care of the children. But the last item of college diploma makes many unemployed people unable to understand~! is someone who coaxes and takes care of children. What education do you need? But Lan Shu just values ??academic qualifications. She doesn''t have time to look at the character of each applicant one by one, so she can only use academic qualifications to screen most of the unsuitable people. Lan Shu knows that educated and culturally literate people can communicate better. She is looking for someone who will help her raise the baby, not someone who will help her raise the baby. As children grow up, their learning ability should not be underestimated. So the nanny that Lan Shu wants must take care of the children according to her requirements, instead of letting the children learn all their bad habits one by one. Lan Shu spent a whole week recruiting a nanny. After the applicants met her three requirements, she met more than 20 people before finally deciding on the candidate. The last person recruited was a thirty-two-year-old woman who had worked as a nurse in the hospital before. The other party originally had a stable job as a nurse. It was because he heard that someone was recruiting a nanny with a monthly salary of 100, so he tried to apply, and finally applied! The woman''s name is Lin Ting. She married and came to Kyoto, where she gave birth to a son and a daughter. She married early. This year her daughter is fourteen and her son is eleven. Because their parents are busy with work, the two children spend most of their time with their grandparents except for school. Lin Ting used to work as a nurse in a hospital. The treatment of a nurse is different from that of a doctor. Her monthly salary is 37 yuan, which is not too high, but because of the stability, it is also a good job. Before she decided to work as a childcare nanny in the Lan family, Lin Ting asked when she was hired. Although the salary of one hundred yuan a month is very high, it is definitely not worthwhile to lose the stable job if you only work for a year or a half. Fortunately, Lan Shu replied, "The childcare nanny I am looking for will not only help me take care of the child when he is young, but also pick up and drop off the child and cook for the child after school. If he does a good job, it will take at least ten years. .¡± With Lan Shu''s words, Lin Ting has nothing to worry about. She quit her job at the hospital the next day, and then came to Lan''s house to become the Lan''s babysitter! ¡­ Lan Shu''s side, since she has a babysitter at home to help her take care of the children, she feels a lot easier. Except that Xiao Qingning was not used to being approached by strangers at first, but later, under Lin Ting''s soft coaxing, the child soon found that there was another person in the family who could play with her. After Xiaobai recruited the childcare nanny, he observed for a few days and found that he had become an idler at home. So he returned to the school laboratory to exert his ability and create his own value. At home, while the nanny Lin Ting was playing in the yard with the child, Lan Shu was sitting in the study on the second floor, quietly drawing pictures. About the diaper machine accessories, she had already called He Sunan from Linjiang Machinery Factory two days ago. Next, she needs to draw the specific appearance and dimensions of the diaper. He Sunan needs to get the drawings before he can start manufacturing machine mold parts. As for the pictures that Lan Shu will draw today, in addition to the pictures of diapers, there are also various styles of children''s clothing designs. When the time comes, take the blueprints back with you, so that the garment factory can start working immediately! Lan Shu draws children''s clothing designs very quickly, not because she is familiar with all kinds of children''s clothing styles. It''s because she only needs to think of what kind of little skirt her lovely daughter will wear when she grows up, so she draws several pictures in a "scratch" manner! The children''s clothing she designed, in fact, more accurately, should be the children''s clothing she designed for her own daughter. (end of this chapter) Chapter 357: not allowed to eat Chapter 357 Not allowed to eat After Lan Shu finished drawing more than a dozen designs of various long-sleeved, short-sleeved, small suit skirts, and seven or eight matching pants and windbreakers, Lan Shu suddenly discovered that in her design drawings, there seemed to be even Not a single boy''s clothes... So she thought about it, and then she started to draw three sets of boy''s clothes designs. ¡ªShort-sleeved shorts, long-sleeved trousers, boys'' tracksuits. There is really nothing to design the boy¡¯s clothing style, just draw a general appearance, and then in the factory, there will be a design department matching various colors according to the style, and many sets of boy¡¯s suits can be evolved from the three sets of design drawings. After drawing the design drawing, not long after, the childcare nanny Lin Ting walked into the house from the yard with the child in her arms. Lan Shu heard someone''s footsteps going upstairs, and immediately walked out of the study. Seeing Lin Ting gently holding the child, she also said softly, "Asleep?" "Yes." Lin Ting replied with a smile on her face, "The child is so cute and obedient." When someone praises their child, Lan Shu is naturally in a good mood. She unconsciously brought a smile on her face, then took the child from Lin Ting''s hands, and carried her little Qingning back to the room to sleep for a while. ¡­ On the other side, the Meng family in Kyoto. Meng Dabao, the eldest grandson of the Meng family, has grown from a chubby little baby to more than three months old in the blink of an eye. Meng Dabao was fat and likable since he was born. After more than three months, he weighed almost 20 catties from the original weight of 92 catties. Children grow the fastest in the first three months, and they will weigh three catties a month in later generations, which can be said to be relatively common. But in the 1980s, a newborn baby could gain three catties a month, which is definitely well-raised! Meng Dabao is well raised, thanks to Meng Heng who feeds Lan Xinya with big fish and meat every day, and also thanks to Lan Xinya''s mother-in-law Liu Cui, who retired early to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson at home. In order to take care of his son, Meng Heng planned to leave the army and go home, but his parents did not agree with anything! Meng Heng''s father, Meng Xiang, feels that his son is still young and can stay in the army for a long time. It is a pity to be discharged now. Liu Cui also disagreed with her son giving up her bright future, so she offered to suggest that since she is approaching retirement age, she should retire early and take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson. So under the meticulous care of Liu Cui who gave up her job, after Lan Xinya gave birth to a child, she became a hands-off shopkeeper. On weekdays, apart from breastfeeding, Lan Xinya doesn''t care about the baby at all. Everything about the child is taken care of by Liu Cui! Every morning when Liu Cui opens her eyes, she just circles around her grandson. Cooking, eating, changing diapers, washing diapers, taking care of the children, there is no time to be free. The intensity of this work is much harder than her going to work! Fortunately, Liu Cui''s body is strong, so she can survive. While Meng Dabao was gaining weight, Lan Xinya had gained more than ten catties from her already heavy weight because of eating and drinking too much every day. Lan Xinya can''t remember how long she hasn''t looked in the mirror. In the mirror, I am fat and ugly, really ugly. She didn''t expect that after getting married and having a child, her figure would become like this! This made Lan Xinya complain deeply. She felt that it was because of the grandson of the old Meng family that she changed from a slender girl to what she is now. She has sacrificed so much for the Meng family, the Meng family must make up for herself! So during this period of time, Lan Xinya, everyone who saw the Meng family disliked her. That look, as if everyone owed her. Meng family, Liu Cui couldn''t help being concerned when she saw Lan Xinya''s body getting fatter and fatter. These days, because of the living conditions, there are not many fat people. Therefore, those who are fatter in the big courtyard can always get more people''s attention. According to Liu Cui''s knowledge, fat people are more prone to diseases than ordinary people, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and even heart disease. As a mother-in-law, she kindly persuaded her daughter-in-law, "Xinya, from now on, you should eat less meat, and eat some green vegetables in your usual meals..." Before Liu Cui finished speaking, Lan Xinya interrupted Liu Cui''s next words with a look of disbelief! "I gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Meng family. I have worked hard without any credit. I just eat home-ordered meals. Do you think I eat too much?" "I don''t eat meat. Where can I find milk to feed Meng Dabao so fat? If you say that, then I won''t feed your grandson anymore!" Lan Xinya was so angry that she threw her chopsticks and went upstairs. She felt that the Meng family was treating her harshly! So when Meng Heng came back that night, Lan Xinya told Meng Heng that Mother Meng didn''t let her eat. When Meng Heng heard what Lan Xinya said, his first reaction was that it couldn''t be true! Fucking man Meng Heng understands, mom will definitely not be mean to Lan Xinya, and won''t let Lan Xinya eat! But what is the truth, Meng Heng has to ask his mother. Meng Heng went downstairs for a while, and when he came up, he had already understood the situation. Thinking of how his mother shed tears when she learned from him that Xinya had spread rumors that her family wouldn''t let her eat, Meng Heng felt uncomfortable. He persuaded his mother downstairs, and went upstairs to comfort Lan Xinya. In the room, Meng Heng explained angrily. "Xinya, Mom doesn''t mean that. She just thinks that going on like this will affect your health. That''s why she asks you to eat less meat and eat some vegetables, with a combination of meat and vegetables." But Lan Xinya couldn''t listen to them at all! Lan Xinya knew that she ate a lot of meat during this time, especially at noon and night, she had to eat a big bowl of meat for every meal. But she will be hungry if she doesn''t eat! Since giving birth to the baby and breastfeeding the baby, her appetite has increased significantly. She doesn''t like to eat vegetables, but only likes to eat meat, so she just picks what she likes to eat. Is this wrong? And Lan Xinya didn''t think her mother-in-law Liu Cui was doing it for her own good. Her mother-in-law just hates that she eats too much and makes the family spend more money! I gave birth to a grandson to Lao Meng''s family, and my mother-in-law is too stingy! So Lan Xinya looked at Meng Heng, and said angrily, "Since your mother thinks I eat too much at your house, then I''ll just move out in the future! I won''t feed the baby anymore, you can raise them however you like!" Lan Xinya was sure that Meng Heng would not agree to move out. It''s not because she thinks Meng Heng misses her so much, but because she gave birth to a son, and after she left, his son didn''t even have food! Sure enough, Meng Heng panicked when he heard that Lan Xinya was leaving! His son is still young, if he is weaned like this, it may affect his body. "Xinya, don''t be angry! If you like to eat, then eat it. I told my mom that whatever you want to eat in the future, let her make it for you!" When Meng Heng said this, he felt helpless. He didn¡¯t think that Lan Xinya¡¯s eating meat was expensive, but because he also cared about Lan Xinya¡¯s health. It''s a pity that Lan Xinya can''t feel their concern. Instead, she felt that they were treating her badly. Since this is the case, Meng Heng will not persuade him. Lan Xinya lives as she likes, so she can live her life as she likes. (end of this chapter) Chapter 358: support Chapter 358 Support A few days later, Lan Shu took the child back to Qingyang County with the nanny Lin Ting by her side. Traveling with a baby is not an easy task. Because there are no diapers, only diapers, Lan Shu has brought two big bags, a total of fifty or sixty! It took more than eight hours to drive all the way. Lan Shu waited for Xiao Qingning to wake up in the morning and set off, and arrived in Qingyang County in the late afternoon. Calculating the time, it has been more than half a year since Lan Shu''s late pregnancy until now. It''s not easy to come back this time, Lan Shu plans to stay here for at least half a month. The county has not changed much. More than half a year has passed, that is, the leaves on the trees beside the street have changed from bleak withered yellow to lush green. The last time she came back, it was still autumn. Beside her, Xiao Qingning was hugged by the nanny Lin Ting, probably because she came to a strange place, and the child found everything new, so she didn''t sleep, and looked around with clear eyes. Lan Shu first asked Master Zhang to drive to her home in Qingyang County, opened all the doors and windows of the house to ventilate, and asked the nanny to carry the baby first to find a place to rest, and then rushed to the garment factory without stopping. Lan Shu had contacted the deputy factory director Liu Axing in advance. After arriving at the factory, she directly gave Liu Axing the children''s clothing design drawings, and then went to the toilet paper factory before she got off work at night. In the past two days, He Sunan from Linjiang Machinery Factory was on a business trip in Qingyang County. The machinery factory received an order for machine parts from the toilet paper factory. He Sunan needed to have a detailed understanding of the sanitary napkin production machines in the factory before he could design and manufacture new parts according to the machine''s conditions. In addition to the accessories, Lan Shu said in the communication with He Sunan that the sanitary napkin production machine currently used in the factory, if the Linjiang Machinery Factory has the ability to manufacture it, then their toilet paper factory will take the order for this machine . At least three machines will be ordered. You must know that the sanitary napkin production machines used by toilet paper factories are new models from abroad. The price of the old models from abroad was 16,000 units, while the new models cost 20,000 to 30,000! Three machines are an order of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which is much larger than the profit of the paper winding machine. Moreover, whether a machinery factory can always exist and last for a long time depends on the amount of orders it receives. Only with good technology can the factory receive more orders. At the beginning, under the employment of Lan Shu, Linjiang City Machinery Factory developed the paper rolling machine. In addition to selling 20 or 30 sets to Yunrou toilet paper factory, it also sold dozens of rolls to some toilet paper factories all over the country. . Now, Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory has given them an opportunity to manufacture a more complex new machine, and Linjiang City Machinery Factory will naturally not miss it. That''s why He Sunan was sent to Linjiang City on a business trip to find out the detailed structure of the sanitary napkin production machine. It is convenient for the next Linjiang Machinery Factory to manufacture new machines! In the past two days, He Sunan has already learned about the situation of the new machine parts at the toilet paper factory. As for the manufacture of accessories, the factory director Lan will give him the design drawings of the products to be produced, and their machinery factory will be able to manufacture them. It is quite difficult to manufacture the whole sanitary napkin production machine. The process is quite complicated, unless the toilet paper factory is willing to stop the machine and ask him to dismantle the machine completely to see the structure inside. Otherwise, he would not be able to make it at all if he only relied on his eyes to observe the outside of the machine! He Sunan thought about this matter for a long time, and decided to wait for Director Lan to come back and ask him what he meant, to see if Director Lan agreed. He Sunan knows that if a machine is shut down, even if one day of work is lost, the benefits of the toilet paper factory will be lost. What''s more, his disassembly analysis, even if he does not sleep and rest, it will take at least three to five days to record the data of all internal accessories. This is definitely not beneficial to the toilet paper factory. So He Sunan actually didn''t have much hope that Director Lan would agree to his request. After all, if Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory wants such a machine, it can continue to buy it from a foreign machine factory, and there is no need to give them the machine factory this opportunity for research and analysis. In the evening, in the workshop of the sanitary napkin production factory, when the day shift workers were about to leave work, He Sunan, who was planning to go to the cafeteria to have a meal, was stopped by the workshop director, who said that the factory director would come over soon, and asked him to wait a while. He Sunan originally thought that the deputy factory director Zhu might be looking for him for something? It turned out that I didn''t wait long, but I was waiting for Director Lan who hadn''t seen him for a long time! Lan Shu handed the design drawing of children''s diapers to He Sunan. Later, I learned that He Sunan already knew a lot about the replaceable parts of the sanitary napkin production machine. When he goes back to the machinery factory, he will be able to design and manufacture replacement parts based on the drawings of the diapers. As for the manufacture of sanitary napkin production machines, He Sunan also pointed out that it was too difficult, and a machine was needed as a sample disassembly study. Knowing that He Sunan has the ability to imitate sanitary napkin production machines, Lan Shu has little hesitation and agrees! "Okay, after you have manufactured the replacement parts of the diapers, go to Deputy Factory Manager Zhu to make an appointment and bring someone to disassemble and study." Lanshu absolutely supports the development of domestic machinery manufacturing technology. As for the machines in the factory being shut down and disassembled, and unable to start work for several days, this loss does not matter to her. Such a result was not expected by He Sunan at the beginning. But soon, he understood what Director Lan meant. "Thank you, Director Lan." He Sunan said, bowing deeply in Lan Shu''s direction. In fact, it is not just this time that Director Lan has given support to skilled workers like him in his factory. From the original paper winding machine to the small package paper assembly line machine, without the financial support from the director Lan, their machinery factory might have already begun to decline. Now Director Lan is even willing to provide the high-end machines she purchased from abroad for him to do research on! It is because of this that his technology in mechanical manufacturing has improved in just two years! Facing He Sunan''s thanks at this time, Lan Shu did not shirk, but accepted it calmly. In the past, she gave help to the machinery factory, and of course, she also got the products produced by the machinery factory. But this time, when she gave the machinery factory and He Sunan the opportunity to study the sanitary napkin production machine, she had no idea of ??getting anything in return. She purely hoped that domestic machinery manufacturing technology could improve. So her approach deserves to be thanked. And she accepted the thanks, which also made He Sunan feel better. "Come on." Lan Shu whispered to He Sunan. He Sunan is talented in machine manufacturing, and she hopes that her support can help the other party''s talent to be better promoted. (end of this chapter) Chapter 359: Commercials Chapter 359 Advertisement shooting The next day, Lan Shu, who returned to Qingyang County, started her work after feeding her daughter¡ª She first went to a garment factory to select the fabrics in the fabric warehouse. Baby skin is delicate, so the softest and skin-friendly fabric must be used. The softness of cotton silk is not so soft, but it is easy to wrinkle. So when Lan Shu chooses fabrics, she tries not to choose solid colors. Cotton silk fabrics are dominated by large floral flowers in color, and visually, even if they are wrinkled, they will not look too ugly. In addition to cotton silk, silk is soft and smooth, and the yarn is breathable and cool, so it is also suitable for summer fabrics. As for autumn and winter styles, because they are not worn close to the body, the fabrics do not need to be too strict. But even so, Lan Shu''s selection of fabrics is as soft, comfortable, light and breathable as possible. After selecting the fabrics, Liu Axing, the deputy director of the factory, made a record of all these fabrics, and then handed them over to the design department for filing. Lan Shu didn''t delay at all, and immediately left the factory to go home to see her daughter. It''s almost noon, she''s going out for two or three hours, her daughter should be hungry. Fortunately, the house she bought is not far from the garment factory, and it takes only a few minutes to go there. What''s more, Master Zhang was on call all day long, so she came back quite quickly. After going back to feed the children, Lan Shu will go to the toilet paper factory in the afternoon. I went there in a hurry yesterday, and I just had time to meet He Sunan. Today, she went to the factory to learn more about the development of the toilet paper factory today. And tomorrow, she will go to the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory near the chicken farms in the surrounding counties of Linjiang City to see the supply of semi-finished fried chicken. In short, after returning to Qingyang County, she couldn''t be free for a while... ¡­ When Lan Shu was busy with work, in the capital, Meng''s house. Lan Xinya''s watch counter in Huamei Mall has been getting worse and worse recently. Two days ago, she received the account from the teller. After one month, the sales at the counter minus the purchase cost, the rental fee, and the teller''s salary, the total profit was only 83 yuan. This amount of money is higher than the wages of ordinary workers in Kyoto. But her watch counter, that''s a lot of money invested! Because the counter business makes less money every month, Lan Xinya has already planned to withdraw the counter. But before that, she had to clear the counters first. So she no longer buys, but informs the teller to sell the watches currently in the counter as soon as possible to collect the principal. But selling goods is not something you can sell as you want. First, it takes time. Second, when the counters run out of goods, there will always be a feeling that the business is about to go bankrupt. In the eyes of customers, if the bottom of the goods needs to be cleaned up, it must be cheaper than the market price, so the following goods will not be sold at all if the price is not reduced. So the business of Lan Xinya''s watch counter can only be consumed slowly. Not having a stable income made Lan Xinya feel uneasy. She was afraid that after she made less money, the Meng family would underestimate her. So how to make money has become a matter for Lan Xinya to focus on. A few days later, she really found an opportunity to make money! Since last year''s hit TV series "Slaying Monsters", TV commercials have completely entered the public''s field of vision! In the early days, although there was an advertisement for toilet paper that was always broadcast on TV, but at that time the advertisement did not attract too much attention from people, especially from businesses. Since the toilet paper advertisement in the middle of "Slaying Monsters", Yunrou toilet paper has become a well-known toilet paper brand among the people. Years later, another mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama "Family" promoted the clothing of Yunshu clothing brand, and many merchants also started plans to advertise on TV! Lan Xinya saw in the newspaper that a paint factory was recruiting actors, and one of them needed a child under one year old to go abroad. The price offered for the advertisement was 100 yuan, and it only took one or two hours to complete the filming. You can earn a hundred yuan in just one or two hours. Naturally, Lan Xinya will not miss such a good thing! So she immediately hugged her son Meng Dabao and went to the interview according to the address mentioned in the newspaper. Arriving at the place, Lan Xinya found that there were quite a few women interviewing with their children in their arms, just today, more than 20 children came. Obviously, that one hundred yuan is very attractive to many people! But fortunately, after looking around, Lan Xinya found that the children present were either over one year old at first glance, and did not meet the other party''s standards for recruiting actors, or they were younger, yellow and thin, and none of them were as good as her son Meng. Dabao looks good! Meng Dabao''s appearance is actually not the best, but because he is fat, he looks rare. Finally, as Lan Xinya expected, the leader of the paint factory fell in love with her son Meng Dabao at a glance, and announced in public that the young actor in their advertisement had been found! My son can stand out from the crowd, and he will be able to shoot commercials in the future, which greatly satisfies Lan Xinya''s vanity. She even felt that after her son finished filming this commercial and became a starlet, more people would find her in the future and ask her son to be on camera for the commercial! So when the leader of the paint factory suggested that some paint would be painted on the children''s bodies and faces during the shooting of the advertisement to show that the paint was healthy and environmentally friendly, and even babies could accept it, Lan Xinya almost didn''t think about it and agreed directly. Come down~! In her opinion, when the paint is on the body, it is not easy to wash it off, and the rest is fine. One or two hours can earn a hundred dollars, and the son can become a starlet in the future, this is the most important thing! After the actors for the advertisement of the paint factory are selected, the shooting is scheduled for two days later, and Lan Xinya only needs to bring the child over by then. Before this, the paint factory also signed a shooting contract with Lan Xinya, which clearly stated the shooting date, and within three hours of the shooting time, the remuneration was 100 yuan, which was paid after the shooting. Seeing that this contract would guarantee her money, Lan Xinya signed it without saying a word. After she returned to the Meng family at night, she immediately announced the good news to the Meng family! Knowing that the eldest grandson is going to shoot commercials and become a starlet, Liu Cui thinks it is quite new, and has no objection to it. But Meng Xiang felt that, in that way, wouldn''t the grandson be too high-profile? He slightly disagreed, but under Lan Xinya''s insistence, he couldn''t stop it. And Meng Heng frowned when he learned that his child was going to be taken to shoot a paint advertisement. "The smell of paint is so strong, the child smells it too much, and I don''t know if it will make me feel sick!" The implication is that he doesn''t want his son to shoot commercials. But Lan Xinya disagreed! "It''s written in the contract that it only takes three hours at most to shoot an advertisement. The leader of the factory said that it can usually be finished in one or two hours. It doesn''t smell all the time. What can I do?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 360: paint and petrol Chapter 360 Paint and Gasoline Hearing Lan Xinya''s choking tone, Meng Heng frowned even deeper. He didn''t want to quarrel with Lan Xinya, and knew that he couldn''t hold back Lan Xinya. And I heard from Lan Xinya that the filming of the commercial will be finished in just a short while. So although Meng Heng disagreed in his heart, he didn''t strongly refuse to let his son go. Just told Lan Xinya, "This time you signed a contract with someone, then forget it, but it''s not an example, I don''t need my son to make money." Meng Heng''s words went into Lan Xinya''s left ear and out of her right ear. First, she took her son to shoot paint commercials and made money before talking about it. The future arrangements, her son, she made the decision! As for Meng Hengtong''s disagreement, how can he control himself? ¡­ Two days later, Lan Xinya arrived at the agreed shooting location early in the morning with her son Meng Dabao in her arms. Inside the paint factory, in a corner of an empty workshop, the scene has already been set up by the staff, and the ground and walls are covered with a white cloth. Various paints. Lan Xinya took off her son''s apron and thin clothes according to the photographer''s request, put her son naked on a white cloth, and placed it next to the paint bucket. Subsequently, staff members painted various colors of paint on Meng Dabao''s body and face. Lan Xinya watched from the side, and kept telling her, "Spray less, that stuff is not easy to wash." "It''s okay, we will find you some gasoline later, the paint is easy to wash off." The leader of the paint factory who came to see the filming said. When Lan Xinya heard that it was easy to wash off, she didn''t worry anymore, and let her son''s body be painted in a mess with red, yellow, blue and green paint. Not far away, Meng Dabao saw someone painting on his body, with various colors on his arms, he thought it was someone playing with him, and giggled happily. Seeing this scene, Lan Xinya felt relieved. Although the smell of paint was indeed a bit pungent, isn''t her son very happy~? ! After Meng Dabao finished painting his body, the staff left and the filming began. When Meng Dabao saw the person he was playing with leave, he was so anxious that he stretched out his hand to grab randomly. The four-month-old child can already turn over, but the little Meng Dabao tried his best to turn over, and accidentally knocked over the paint can next to him. Seeing the red, yellow, blue and green paints flowing out of the jar, Meng Dabao instantly felt that he had found a more interesting toy! He giggled, stretched out his hand, and scratched the paint that flowed on the white cloth¡ª Such a scene is presented by the advertising lens, which is a fat little baby, looking very happy playing with paint. The leaders of the paint factory who came to check the shooting situation were very satisfied with the shooting effect today! Their advertisement should reflect the safety of paint, so the leader of the paint factory urged the video master to take more shots. Besides, Lan Xinya saw her son having such a good time, even though more and more paint was sticking to her son, she didn''t care. It can be washed off anyway, can''t it? It was originally expected to take one or two hours of shooting, but in the end it was all shot within an hour! Lan Xinya got a hundred yuan from the leader of the paint factory to shoot the commercial, and a small can of gasoline enough to wash off the paint on her son. Lan Xinya tore off a piece of white cloth used when filming commercials, dipped in gasoline and wiped her son''s body. Gasoline really easily washed off the paint on his body. Soon, almost all the paint on Meng Dabao''s body was wiped off. As for the remaining paint, Lan Xinya didn''t have much patience to continue wiping it off, so she took her son and half a can of gasoline back home. Planning to ask her mother-in-law Liu Cui to clean up her son after going back. After wiping off the paint on her son''s body with gasoline, and taking a shower by the way, her son is still clean~! ¡­ At noon, when Lan Xinya came home, Liu Cui smelled a strong smell of gasoline from her grandson from afar! Liu Cui knew why the daughter-in-law took the eldest grandson out today, so she didn''t ask any further questions, and hugged the eldest grandson with a distressed expression, and went to the house to take a bath. The paint on Meng Dabao''s body that was not wiped clean before had to be wiped off with gasoline repeatedly. The baby''s skin is delicate, no matter how light Liu Cui''s hands are, the baby''s body will turn red from being rubbed... After wiping off the paint, Liu Cui used soap to slap her eldest grandson three times in order to wash off the gasoline smell! Finally, I washed it again with essential oil soap. The fragrant essential oil soap completely diluted the gasoline smell on Meng Dabao''s body. After Liu Cui finished bathing her grandson, she found that his grandson had fallen asleep while taking a bath. Liu Cui thought that her grandson was too young and too tired to go out all morning, so she didn''t bother her, and gently carried her elder grandson upstairs, and put her elder grandson on the bed in the daughter-in-law''s room. After putting the baby away, Liu Cui still told Lan Xinya to remember to breastfeed the baby when her eldest grandson woke up. Lan Xinya responded casually, and then lay on the bed, planning to take a nap. Before going to bed, she did not forget to tell Liu Cui that she wanted to eat steamed meat at noon, and asked Liu Cui to make a meal and wake her up. Liu Cui was busy downstairs, and after more than an hour, she finally got her lunch ready. When going upstairs to ask the daughter-in-law to eat, Liu Cui stopped by to see if the eldest grandson woke up and whether he needed to change the diaper. Looking at it, Liu Cui found that the red skin on her grandson''s body when he scrubbed it before has not faded at all! Instead, it looks redder than before! She hugged her eldest grandson to the window, and took a closer look under the sunlight outside, only to find that her eldest grandson''s red skin was covered with red spots the size of sesame seeds. And the elder grandson''s temperature is obviously a little high to the touch! Seeing this scene, Liu Cui suddenly became nervous, "Dabao, my Dabao, what''s wrong with you?" What made Liu Cui even more flustered was that her cry didn''t wake up the eldest grandson! Her Dabao fell into a deep sleep and couldn''t wake up at all! On the bed beside her, Lan Xinya was woken up by the noise when Liu Cui was holding the baby. She saw Liu Cui''s reaction just now, and at first she thought it was her mother-in-law who was surprised and made a big fuss. But when Liu Cui called her son loudly, but her son never woke up, Lan Xinya finally realized that something was wrong! So she quickly got up from the bed and stepped forward to check on her son. Seeing that her son couldn''t wake up no matter what, Lan Xinya and Liu Cui immediately took her son to the hospital¡ª After arriving at the hospital, the doctor told Lan Xinya and Liu Cui that the child had a high fever. The reason for the high fever is related to the child''s allergies! Dr. Zhao has been a doctor for more than 20 years, and this is the first time he has seen such a severe allergy in a baby who is a few months old! He immediately asked what the child had eaten in the past day, or had he come into contact with any source of infection? (end of this chapter) Chapter 361: not in the mood to settle accounts Chapter 361 Not in the mood to settle accounts Lan Xinya recalled that after she fed her son in the morning, her son never ate anything. While the source of infection¡­ She suddenly remembered the scene where her son was covered in paint! "Doctor, can children touch paint?" Lan Xinya''s question made Dr. Zhao confused. Dr. Zhao was taken aback, "Why do children touch paint?" "That thing has a pungent smell and contains various harmful substances. If children smell it too much, it may increase the probability of blood disease, and it is not good for the respiratory tract." After Dr. Zhao finished speaking, he seemed to realize something. He looked at the child''s mother and grandma in surprise. "So... did the kid touch the paint?" Dr. Zhao felt that he should have found the source of infection. So he explained, "Some people have sensitive skin, and contact with paint can indeed cause skin diseases. Now the child''s skin allergies are the manifestation of skin diseases." Hearing this, Lan Xinya was stunned! And Liu Cui learned that the reason why the eldest grandson is sick now is actually caused by paint! If she didn''t let her daughter-in-law take the eldest grandson to shoot an advertisement today, the eldest grandson wouldn''t have a high fever and wouldn''t be allergic! At this moment, Liu Cui blamed herself, felt sorry for her eldest grandson, and shed tears silently. And Lan Xinya regretted it in her heart. But it is useless to regret now, she can only ask the doctor to treat her son quickly. ¡­ In the afternoon, Meng Xiang and Meng Heng, father and son, who were in the work unit, received calls from the military affiliated hospital successively, and learned that their grandson/son was sick and hospitalized. Without any hesitation, the two immediately asked for leave from the team and rushed to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, Meng Xiang learned from his wife what the doctor had said before, and only then did he know that his grandson''s illness was caused by contact with paint! And Meng Heng heard that his son was allergic all over his body, and he still had a high fever. He was observing in the intensive care unit, and his eyes were red with anxiety! Before this, no one thought that paint would be so harmful to children! At this moment, Meng Heng blamed himself for not being able to insist on refusing Lan Xinya''s offer to let their son make commercials! Also angry at Lan Xinya''s idea and behavior of using her son to make money! But when he saw Lan Xinya standing guard at the door of the intensive care unit with a sad look on her face, the anger in Meng Heng''s heart was extinguished by half¡ª He thought that Lan Xinya was also the child''s mother, and no one would think about the child''s illness. Although Lan Xinya was wrong to use her son to make money, she didn''t mean to make him sick either. Besides, this is a hospital, so loud noises are not allowed, so Meng Hengcai temporarily suppressed his anger, tried his best to restrain his emotions, and did not immediately get angry at Lan Xinya! At this time, Lan Xinya was not only sad, but also afraid. Just like what Meng Heng thought, she was sad and worried about her son''s illness. But she was even more afraid that she would make the Meng family''s precious grandson sick like this. If something happened to Dabao, she knew that the Meng family would never let her go! And the cost of his son''s treatment is not a small amount. From the time he went to the hospital for examination to when his son was sent to the intensive care unit for treatment, Lan Xinya and Liu Cui had spent more than 200 yuan in the money they brought in haste. Her son became ill because of the commercial, and the advertising fee was only paid 100. Their medical expenses have already exceeded the advertising fee! As long as you live in the hospital, you will definitely need more money in the future¡ª So after Lan Xinya was sad, she soon came up with the idea of ??asking the paint factory for money. Her son is so ill, the paint factory has to compensate them! So, after waiting for Meng Dabao, the little grandson of the Meng family, to stay in the intensive care unit for half a day and a night, and the next morning when his fever finally subsided, Lan Xinya went to see her son, and then she was going to take Meng Heng to the paint factory to settle the score! Although Meng Heng was also angry with the behavior of the paint factory, he didn''t know in advance that his son was going to be painted in paint for the filming of the paint factory advertisement. Even so, he was worried that the smell of paint would make his son uncomfortable, but unexpectedly, something more serious than discomfort happened¡ª Now his son is still sick, and the doctor said that the child''s fever is only temporary. Children''s fever is easy to repeat, usually every few hours. The fever is over this time, what about next time? Meng Heng was very worried, so he was not in the mood to go to the paint factory to settle accounts for the time being. Meng Heng didn''t go, Lan Xinya could only go first by herself, and let the paint factory know about her son''s high fever due to paint allergies. Otherwise, let¡¯s talk about it in a few days. Who knows if the paint factory will admit it? What if they say that her son is allergic to something he ate after going back? Lan Xinya is very concerned about the timeliness of things happening. So when Meng Heng turned his face and found that Lan Xinya was gone, he was surprised and astonished. He couldn''t believe that his son was so ill. Lan Xinya, a mother, still had the mind to do other things! ? Meng Heng even doubted whether Lan Xinya had a son named Dabao in her heart! At this moment, Meng Heng was very disappointed with Lan Xinya... ¡­ On the other side, Lan Xinya, who left the hospital and went to the paint factory, did not spend much effort, and met the leader of the paint factory who was checking the shooting situation when her son was filming the advertisement. Knowing Lan Xinya''s intention to come, the leader of the paint factory immediately frowned. "You can''t spread rumors, how can the paint in our factory be so harmful?! You just listen to nonsense!" The goods from their paint factory are still on sale~ So even if there is something wrong with the paint, it must not be admitted! Hearing the attitude of the leader of the paint factory, Lan Xinya became anxious immediately. She knew that the other party might not agree to making the other party lose money! She was glad that she ran over early this morning, otherwise she wouldn''t be able to explain anything in a few days! "It is because of the paint in your factory that my son is allergic all over, and he is still living in the hospital. It is not someone else''s nonsense about paint allergies. What the doctor said, can it be fake?" "Does what the doctor said must be true? Doctors know everything?" The leader of the paint factory refused to admit it. "I think you seem to be here to extort money!" said the leader of the paint factory. Although the paint in the factory makes other people''s children sick, he will feel guilty about it, but those who do big things must not be too kind, otherwise they will not be successful! Therefore, the leader of the paint factory quickly recruited the security guards in the factory and asked them to throw Lan Xinya out! Before leaving, the leader of the paint factory told Lan Xinya, "We have signed a contract. It is stated in the contract that you send someone to shoot the advertisement, and our factory will pay the advertisement fee. Now the money has been settled. This transaction It''s just finished, and if there are any problems, it has nothing to do with our factory!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 362: solve Chapter 362 Solved Before Lan Xinya signed the contract, she really didn''t read the signed contract carefully. She just glanced around and focused on seeing that her son''s cost for shooting the commercial was correct, so she signed it. Now, as soon as the person from the paint factory said it, she immediately took out the contract from her pocket¡ª Because after returning home at noon yesterday, she took a nap without changing her clothes, and took the child directly to the hospital in the afternoon, so the contract is still in her pocket. I took a look at it now, and there is a clause in the contract¡ª¡ª ¡®Party B shoots an advertisement, and Party A pays Party B one hundred yuan for the advertisement. After the payment is settled, Party B shall not require Party A to pay additional fees for any reason. '' In fact, when this line was added to the contract, the paint factory was just in case the children¡¯s relatives brought benefits to the paint factory from the children¡¯s advertising after their paint advertisements appeared on TV, far exceeding the 100 yuan photogenic fee, so Extra money is required. I didn''t expect that after the commercial was filmed, there would be a child allergic, so such a statement in the contract happened to be effective for the current situation. At this moment, Lan Xinya, who had seen the contract clearly, felt that she had been cheated! It turns out that the paint factory already knew that there was a problem with their paint, so they wrote this item in the contract? In this way, Lan Xinya really had no way to ask the paint factory for money. But her son is now admitted to the hospital with a high fever and allergies, it is the fault of the paint factory! Being some thick-skinned women, at this time, it is very likely that they will make a fuss directly in front of the paint factory gate! Although Lan Xinya wanted money, she wanted face even more, and she refused to expose her gaffe to others. So Lan Xinya couldn''t seek justice from the paint factory, so she had to go back first, tell her man Meng Heng about this, and see if Meng Heng and the Meng family can do anything. After all, the paint factory has harmed the Meng family''s precious grandson. Does she believe that the Meng family can remain indifferent to this? ¡­ Back to the hospital, it was almost noon, and Lan Xinya was told that her son had a high fever again! Her mother-in-law Liu Cui was crying and her eyes were swollen in the corridor outside the intensive care unit. Elder-in-law Meng Xiang also had tears in his eyes and a sad expression on his face. The worried whole person seemed to have aged a lot overnight. Meng Heng sat on the rest chair next to the wall in the corridor, bowed his head in silence, his whole body exuded a frightening low air pressure. Seeing Lan Xinya came back, Meng Heng''s eyes sank, and he could not bear to blame Lan Xinya for ignoring his son at this time. But Meng Heng''s patience, but when Lan Xinya came forward and told the paint factory that it didn''t accept the debt, he couldn''t bear it anymore! "My son is sick like this now. As a mother, don''t you feel distressed at all? Don''t worry? Instead, all you think about is how to ask for debts and how to get money?" Since she married Meng Heng, Lan Xinya has never been yelled at by Meng Heng in such a reproachful tone. Now, just as she was looking for justice from the paint factory and was feeling agitated, facing Meng Heng''s questioning, Lan Xinya''s temper was ignited on the spot! "How do you know that I don''t feel bad for my child? But if I feel bad, will my son get better immediately?" Lan Xinya didn''t care that this is a hospital, so she couldn''t make any noise, so she yelled at Meng Heng directly. "What''s the use of your family guarding this door? I have to run around looking for an explanation to the paint factory! I went to the paint factory today and they didn''t admit it. A few days later in the evening, the other party will only feel that this matter has nothing to do with them! " As Lan Xinya said that, she felt angry. She worked so hard outside and couldn''t be understood, so she would be angry when she came back! Meng Heng is an emotional person. Hearing what Lan Xinya said, his first reaction was not that the paint factory refused to accept the debt, but that Lan Xinya really didn''t care much about their children! Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have said, ¡®What¡¯s the use of him and his parents guarding the door? ¡¯ This kind of words. For such a child''s mother, he was disappointed, and he no longer wanted to argue with Lan Xinya. Because he found that Lan Xinya didn''t realize her mistake at all. If she hadn''t taken her son to shoot some commercials, he wouldn''t have allergies and high fever, and his safety is now uncertain. Meng Heng decided that after his son recovered, he would not let Lan Xinya take care of the child anymore. If a son has such a mother, there will only be another misfortune¡ª ¡­ Meng Dabao, the grandson of Meng¡¯s parents, stayed in the hospital for three days and had a high fever several times before finally receding. The four-month-old child experienced such hardships. From the very beginning, he felt uncomfortable and cried "Wow~Wow~", and then he had no strength to cry and couldn''t cry. The fat boy who weighed about 20 pounds had hardly eaten anything in the past three days, and he relied on infusions to maintain his body functions. When Meng Dabao came out of the intensive care unit, his chubby face seemed to be a little smaller in the eyes of his grandparents! Meng Heng hugged his son for the first time in three days, and felt that the flesh on his son''s legs was not as firm as before. Soft arms and legs, you can feel that they have lost a lot in the past few days. This illness, apart from making Meng Dabao lose some weight, the doctor also said that because the child is too young, the persistent high fever may affect the development of the brain. In addition, there are many harmful substances in the paint, which even contain toxins. The harm to children is still unknown and can only be followed up for observation. The doctor''s words chilled Meng Heng''s heart! ¡®May affect brain development. ¡¯ This obviously means that his son may become stupid? In addition, the doctor also said that follow-up observation is needed. That is to say, what kind of disease might his son suffer from in the future? Meng Heng froze in place, unable to believe that all this would happen to his son for a long time! He can only hope that his son will be lucky, and after he gets better this time, nothing will happen again... ¡­ A few days later, Meng Dabao was finally discharged from the hospital. Because of this incident, there was an invisible barrier between the Meng family and Lan Xinya. Besides breastfeeding the child these days, Lan Xinya is still obsessed with settling accounts with the paint factory. She decided that the paint factory had harmed her son and she must be compensated! The people in the paint factory ignored Lan Xinya, but after Meng Dabao was healthy and Meng Heng finally had the time to come to ask for an explanation in person, the leaders of the paint factory did not dare to offend Meng Heng easily, so they compensated the Meng family. Two thousand dollars. Among them, one thousand yuan is the cost of the child in the hospital, and the other one thousand is compensation. But Meng Heng didn''t know that besides the two thousand yuan, Lan Xinya also received another five hundred yuan as compensation from the leader of the paint factory. The five hundred yuan was a guarantee for buying Lan Xinya, so that she would never tell anything about her child''s hospitalization due to paint. In addition, Meng Dabao''s advertisement has already been filmed, and the effect is very good, so the paint factory will broadcast it normally on TV, and the Meng family must not interfere. I am working **** the code words, there is another chapter around 12 o''clock~! After reading the update, everyone, remember to vote~~~~ A monthly pass is required~~! Also~ Thank you book friend 939041 for rewarding 1666 reading coins. (`) than heart (end of this chapter) Chapter 363: Little sister calls the shots Chapter 363 Little sister calls the shots Lan Xinya didn''t think too much about this, she felt that if she didn''t take too much money, she wouldn''t take it for nothing! And the doctor also said that her son is allergic to paint because of sensitive skin. Want to buy paint from others, and would not smear on the child, so Lan Xinya signed this guarantee. With just a little effort, you can earn five hundred more. Such an easy way to get money directly dispelled Lan Xinya''s worry and sadness because of her son''s illness. As for the doctor saying that her son had a high fever, it might affect intelligence and get sick. That''s just possible! She sees that her son can eat and sleep now, he is quite healthy, and there is nothing wrong with him. So that kind of ''possibility'' will definitely not happen to my son! ¡­ While Lan Xinya''s son Meng Dabao was sick and hospitalized, Lan Shu took her daughter back to Tianshui Village for a short stay after finishing her work in Qingyang County. The air in the village is good, the water is green and the mountains are green, and the water quality also supports people. At home, neither parents are there. Adoptive father Lan Shengli runs a fried chicken restaurant in Linjiang City, and usually doesn¡¯t come back for nothing. Adoptive mother Chang Chunfang lives in Qingyang County, where her eldest son bought a house in the county. She cooks and does laundry for her daughter-in-law three times a day. Although Lan Dazhuang bought a house in the county seat, he doesn''t live much. At home, the orchard in the back mountain and the free-range chicken farm are all indispensable to him to look after. Especially now that free-range chicken farms raise more chickens, they usually supply marinated chickens to fried chicken shops in counties and cities, and there are more things to do. Although there are hired people to do the work of killing chickens and plucking feathers, Lan Dazhuang himself has to be in charge. After observing her elder brother''s daily workload for a few days, Lan Shu couldn''t help saying, "Brother, it''s time for you to find someone to take care of things for you." But Lan Dazhuang just didn''t feel at ease with anyone, and only felt at ease by doing it himself. Knowing what the eldest brother thinks, Lan Shu has no choice but to persuade him. "Brother, a person''s energy is limited, and he can''t do everything by himself. If you want to expand your business, you must know how to use people well, and let go of what you know." "For example, I run a factory and a company. From the beginning, I was more concerned about building the factory and the company, and then I gradually let go and handed over the management to trustworthy and capable employees, so that I can free up time. and energy to do more.¡± Lan Dazhuang knew that what the little girl said was right, but he was still worried. So Lan Shu could only tell the truth. "Brother, seeing that my sister-in-law is about to give birth in two months, don''t tell me you won''t be by her side when she gives birth or confinement, but continue to work in the village and the mountains?" "That''s definitely not possible!" In Lan Dazhuang''s heart, the wife is the most important thing. "So before that, you have to arrange the work at hand. If you need to recruit people, you should hire people. If you need to hand over the work, you should let it go." Lan Shu followed Lan Dazhuang''s words. After seeing Lan Dazhuang''s silence, he nodded slowly, and happened to help Lan Dazhuang apply for the job while Lan Shu was at home. Most people in the village know the basics, and it is not difficult to choose honest and hardworking people. After the news of Lan''s recruitment was released, people in the village heard that they could work as workers and get paid if they had the opportunity in the village. For a while, people who came to Lan''s house to apply for jobs lined up! Even some village cadres quietly came to Lan¡¯s house at night after the villagers applied for jobs, asking them if they had a chance to offer workers to Lan¡¯s house. The Lan family certainly needs village cadres with work experience and organizational skills. So in a few days, Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang recruited more than ten people together. Some collect eggs on a free-range chicken farm, some regularly feed and water newly hatched chickens, some routinely water and maintain the back mountain orchard, and there is also a person in charge of semi-finished fried chicken management. A week later, Lan Dazhuang''s work was basically arranged. But then, Lan Shu brought up the issue of fruit sales in Houshan Orchard next year. Actually, she went to the mountain to see it these two days, and found that in the first batch of orchards planted in the back mountain, there were actually many fruits waiting to mature. This is still the orchard¡¯s main tree cultivation in the first three years. In the case of pruning the branches in spring and reducing production, it is expected to produce a few cars of fruit. There are not many fruits this year, and they can be picked and sold in county towns or even cities. The first batch of orchards planted next year will officially bear fruit. At that time, whether to sell fresh fruit, canned food, or juice must be considered. Lan Dazhuang had no idea about the follow-up development of the orchard, and he was only responsible for planting trees from the beginning. So whether to buy fruit, make juice, or canned food, he completely listens to his younger sister. Seeing this, Lan Shu didn''t refuse, and planned to wait until the fruit ripened in the past few months to sell the fruit first and see the situation. If the sales volume is good, she will sell the fruit. If the sales volume is not good, she plans to open a fruit processing factory after the new year next year. After dealing with the affairs of Tianshui Village, it''s almost time for Lan Shu to go to Kyoto. It has been half a month since she returned to Qingyang County this time. If she doesn''t go back, there will be some delays in the capital that she needs to deal with on a regular basis. So the next day, Lan Shu returned to the county from Tianshui Village and stayed for another day to visit her adoptive mother and ask her sister-in-law Tang Chu about her health. The next day, she took her nanny Lin Ting and her daughter, and drove back to Kyoto by car¡ª ¡­ At this time, in the capital, Meng''s house, a week has passed since Meng Dabao was discharged from the hospital. This week, Meng Heng is at home on vacation, taking care of his son carefully. Even if there is mother Liu Cui at home, Meng Heng still worries about his son spending time with Lan Xinya alone. Under Meng Heng''s meticulous observation, he found that his son occasionally had shortness of breath. Although this situation was not obvious, he still paid attention to it, and took his son to the hospital for reexamination the next day. After the doctor''s diagnosis, his little son had mild asthma symptoms. Because the child is too young, the adult''s asthma medicine cannot be easily used, so the doctor can only ask the family members to take the child home first, explaining the usual idea of ??observation, and sending it to the doctor in time if something happens. Hearing this result, Meng Heng looked at his son, his eyes turned red! He is a big man, unrestrained and unrestrained before marriage, even in his twenties, he always seems to have the free and easy energy of a teenager. But after he had a child, he discovered that he actually has a vulnerable side. He can''t see anything wrong with his kids... But now that problems have occurred, Meng Heng can only take care of his children more carefully. ¡­ After Meng Heng returned home, he informed the family of his son''s condition. The intention was to let the family pay more attention to the child''s condition. If he had difficulty breathing again, he would immediately take the child to the hospital. When Liu Cui heard that her eldest grandson had asthma, she couldn''t accept it for a while. Meng Xiang also heard about this after returning home at night, looking at his eldest grandson, he felt very sad. Meng Heng didn''t care about Lan Xinya''s reaction. Ever since her son had a high fever in the hospital and Lan Xinya was only out to ask for bills, Meng Heng was disappointed in her. (end of this chapter) Chapter 364: have to be responsible Chapter 364 Always be responsible Meng''s house, seeing Meng Heng carrying her son to the hospital, Lan Xinya felt that her man was making too much of a fuss. Unexpectedly, when Meng Heng came back, he brought the news that his son had asthma¡ª Lan Xinya can hardly believe this is true! Her son is fine, why did he have asthma? Asthma is a disease Lan Xinya has heard of, it is a disease that will accompany her for a lifetime! When Lan Xinya was young, an old man in the same compound suffered from this disease. He would suddenly have chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and he would suffocate instantly when he fell ill. But now, his son has asthma? ! When she heard the news, Lan Xinya''s first reaction was to find the paint factory to settle the score! But in the next second, she thought of the contract she signed with the paint factory not long ago in order to get an extra 500 yuan. The contract clearly stated that her son was hospitalized, and after the paint factory paid compensation, it was settled. Now even if she goes to the leader of the paint factory, it will basically be useless... This made Lan Xinya so upset that she didn''t know what to do. So she locked herself in the room for a long time, wanting to be quiet. At night, Lan Xinya finally walked out of the room in a daze because of her hunger. Thinking of her son''s asthma, he would have to be hospitalized every time he had an attack, and some places needed money. She had to find a way to find the person responsible for her son''s illness and get as much compensation as possible! "Besides touching the paint, Dabao also scrubbed his body with gasoline. The gasoline was given by the paint factory. The paint factory should be responsible for this, right?!" During dinner, Lan Xinya sat down at the dinner table and said to Meng Heng. The last time I went to the paint factory, Lan Xinya had already noticed that the leader of the paint factory was concerned about Meng Heng''s identity, so she was able to get the compensation smoothly. Since this is the case, as long as Meng Heng goes there again, he should be able to get a compensation for the gasoline compensation issue this time! Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Heng was slightly taken aback, then he raised his head, glanced at Lan Xinya lightly, and said in a cold voice. "The paint factory has already lost money, and this matter is over." With Meng Heng''s character, he wouldn''t be able to keep extorting money from the paint factory. But when Lan Xinya saw what Meng Heng said, she immediately became unhappy! "The paint factory lost money before because of the paint, but now I ask them to lose money because of gasoline! The smell of gasoline is so strong, it should also affect children." As Lan Xinya said, she has already decided to go to the hospital to see a doctor tomorrow. Before my son was hospitalized, the doctor only knew that the child touched the paint. Neither Lan Xinya nor the Meng family told the doctor in detail that the child was almost covered in paint, and then rubbed with gasoline. Listening to Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Heng slowly closed his eyes. My son has asthma, which has already made him feel bad. But now, Lan Xinya has to remind him of her son''s serious illness back then. This is undoubtedly stabbing him in the heart! Meng Heng couldn''t listen anymore, so he immediately interrupted Lan Xinya. "Paint and gasoline are harmful to children. Why didn''t you care about this earlier? Now the paint factory has paid for the medical expenses and lost money, and the matter is over." This is his attitude. "How can this pass?!" Lan Xinya knew that without Meng Heng, she would never be able to get money from the paint factory. But now Meng Heng''s reaction made her angry, but there was nothing she could do. "You really don''t think about your son''s future? My son is still young, and every time he gets sick in the future, he will ask for money!" When Lan Xinya spoke, her voice was raised several degrees higher than before. But in the face of Lan Xinya''s reprimand, Meng Heng ignored it and took food for dinner. A few minutes later, Liu Cui, who was upstairs coaxing the child to sleep, went downstairs. Actually, the child has been asleep for a while. The reason why Liu Cui came down now is because she didn''t want to get involved in the quarrel between her son and daughter-in-law. Liu Cui was satisfied with her daughter-in-law from the beginning, but now she is helpless. It is true that the daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat grandson for their old Meng family, but the root cause of the grandson''s physical illness is also caused by the daughter-in-law''s behavior. Liu Cui only hopes that her grandson can grow up healthy, and she doesn''t want to take care of the rest... ¡­ A day later, Lan Shu returned to Kyoto from Qingyang County with her daughter and a nanny by her side. It was already July, and the weather was hot and humid. The first thing Lan Shu did when she came back was to take a shower. I took a shower by myself to wash away the sweat and the exhaustion from the car ride. Give my daughter a bath, the child is clean and refreshed, and sleeps comfortably at night. Although Xiao Qingning is still young, she already knows what she likes. The white and tender baby is soaked in warm water, and she will giggle obediently when taking a bath. After taking a bath, the mother and daughter ate and drank milk, and then lay down on the bed and had a good sleep. The next morning, Lan Shu woke up very early. She wanted to take her daughter out, but Xiao Bai came back from school in the morning. So Xiaobai is responsible for raising the child. Xiaobai has not seen his wife and daughter for half a month, and he really misses them. Yesterday, when he finished working in the lab, it was already late, so he didn''t go home. He didn''t call the driver this morning, but rushed back by the earliest bus. With Xiaobai at home, Lan Shu was very relieved. She said before going out that she would be back for lunch at noon. Lan Shu hasn''t been in Kyoto for half a month. After returning, a bunch of things seem to be lined up. The TV station arranged the filming, and several companies and factories also needed her to intervene one by one. These things are expected to take one morning, and they may not be finished. In the afternoon, Lan Shu planned to go to the construction site to see the situation. Lan Shu''s real estate company started construction of the high-end residential area, which broke ground in May, and now it has been more than two months. She is going to see the progress of the construction site and the construction quality problems during the construction process. There are a lot of things to do and busy with work, but fortunately, Lan Shu is in a good mood, taking things slowly. She first went to the TV station to arrange work, and then went to the Huasha Shopping Mall, to the original cosmetics company, which is now a supply warehouse, to learn about the recent sales of cosmetics. Since Lan''s pure botanical cosmetics stopped selling exclusively to her father''s cosmetics counters, the cosmetics counters of various shopping malls in Kyoto have come to buy. Before Lan Shu arrived at the supply location, she could see tricycles pulling boxes of cosmetics out. Lanshu''s cosmetics company is mainly divided into three parts. Now Zhou Di is in charge of the courtyard, mainly responsible for the production and supply of essential oil soap, and Chen Ping is in charge of the small building in the suburbs. In addition to research and development, it also takes care of the production of various cosmetics. (end of this chapter) Chapter 365: accident Chapter 365 Accident As the manager of a cosmetics company, Yanjuan spends more time at the supply point most of the time, and is responsible for the cosmetics arrangement, distribution, delivery, and account settlement of all cosmetic counters in Kyoto. Lan Shu arrived at the place, walked into the small courtyard that was used as a warehouse, and immediately saw Yan Juan in a water-red short-sleeved dress, who was sorting and delivering goods according to the needs of customers at each cosmetics counter. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Yanjuan was surprised and pleasantly surprised. She knew that General Manager Lan had returned to her hometown some time ago. "General manager, when did you come back?" Yanjuan asked happily. "I just came back yesterday, how are you doing, can you still supply the latest goods?" When Lan Shu said this, she was full of confidence. In her Lan''s cosmetics company, whether it is cosmetics, skin care products, or essential oil soaps, all the big bosses of the cosmetics counters are rushing to order. There is no failure to sell, only demand exceeds supply. Regarding the supply and sales of the goods, Yanjuan took two minutes to briefly report to the leader. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the telephone operator in the warehouse rushing over and reported a situation¡ª "General Manager Lan, Manager Yan, it''s not good! Manager Zhou called just now, saying that when she was about to go out to deliver goods to various cosmetic counters today, she was blocked at the door!" "Someone said there was something wrong with our company''s essential oil soap. The other party used our company''s essential oil soap to bathe the child at home. After a while, the child was allergic and was hospitalized with a high fever. Now the root cause of the disease is still there. Let our company give her an explanation!" Speaking of this matter, the telephone operator panted anxiously. When Lan Shu heard the news, she was slightly taken aback¡ª After that, she treated this matter very cautiously. No one can guarantee that allergies to cosmetics and skin care products will not happen. After all, some people are indeed sensitive. Like someone is allergic to flowers, someone is allergic to a certain fruit, someone is even allergic to eggs, or milk. If it is really because of the essential oil soap produced by her company that the other child is allergic to the point of getting sick, then her company must be responsible for this matter! In addition to medical expenses, there is also money to make up for it. These Lan Shu will definitely not rely on it. So when Lan Shu got the news, she immediately asked Driver Zhang to take her to the courtyard. She wants to meet the family members of the allergic child in person to understand the situation and make compensation. ¡­ At this time, in the urban area of ??Kyoto, in front of the gate of Lan''s Pure Plant Cosmetics Company Essential Oil Soap Branch Factory. Lan Xinya was wearing a black dress and a woven straw hat, standing in front of the courtyard of the essential oil and soap branch under the scorching sun, yelling¡ª "Where is 500 yuan enough? My son spent 1000 yuan in the hospital! Now that the root of the disease has fallen, I don''t know how much it will cost in the future~!" Lan Xinya came here this time, there is really no other way. At the paint factory, Meng Heng refused to stand out. She went there, and the other party talked about the matter with the contract, and they would not compensate her for a penny. The other party said, about the gasoline, they just gave the gasoline, but the person who put the gasoline on the child was Lan Xinya herself, so it cannot be blamed on them! Seeing that there was no hope of getting money from the paint factory, Lan Xinya had an idea, and suddenly remembered that her mother-in-law used soap and essential oil soap to wash off the gasoline on her son. She had inquired about it, and the soap factory opened in Haicheng, which was too far away, so she couldn''t go there for the time being. But the essential oil soap company is opened in Kyoto! So Lan Xinya left the child at home today, and went out alone to the essential oil soap company to seek justice. In fact, Lan Xinya wanted to bring the baby with her, but Liu Cui and her man firmly refused! She had to come alone. Lan Xinya loves face. She didn''t make trouble in front of the paint factory before, because there is a big road outside the paint factory, and there are many people coming and going. When she makes a fuss, many people will definitely look at her. But essential oil soap companies are different. This is the courtyard house in the alley, no matter how many people are nearby, there are not as many people on the road. And this kind of small company, which can be seen at a glance, does not dare to cause trouble at all. If you shout a few words, it is estimated that the other party will lose money soon, and she can leave quickly. Sure enough, as she expected, after she came over with a half-used essential oil soap and told her why she came, not long after, the person in charge of the essential oil soap company came out to have an interview with her. After she took out the medical records and fee slips from the hospital, the female manager of this small company immediately said that she would apply for a compensation of 500 yuan for her. Five hundred yuan is already the best effort Zhou Di can make under the authority of the company. She was confident that she could apply for the five hundred yuan, but Zhou Di did not expect that the client would not agree! "Who are you going to send the five hundred yuan to? You have to pay me at least three to five thousand yuan!" Lan Xinya said. The price of a piece of essential oil soap ranges from one to five to three yuan. When Zhou Di heard the claim amount of the victim, her first reaction was how much essential oil soap would they have to sell to earn three to five thousand? A compensation amount of three to five thousand yuan is beyond Zhou Di''s ability to make a decision. So she immediately called Manager Yanjuan to ask how to deal with this matter. The cosmetics warehouse near Huaxia Shopping Center is not too far from the courtyard where essential oil soaps are produced. Lan Shu drove here by car, and it only took fifteen or sixteen minutes. Master Zhang drove the car into the alley, Lan Shu looked out the window, and could already see ten or twenty people gathered around the gate of her courtyard. She got out of the car and walked towards the crowd. Before she got close, she heard a slightly familiar female voice¡ª "When will your leader come? I have been waiting for half an hour!" With this impatient tone and deja vu tone, if you don''t look at the person, Lan Shu will immediately think of Lan Xinya! But after clearing the crowd, Lan Shu realized that she guessed wrong, the other party was not Lan Xinya. A few months ago, Lan Shu met Lan Xinya in the hospital. Although Lan Xinya was already fat and out of shape, she was not so fat that she is now big and round, and her body is thick, like moving a round wooden stake. Lan Xinya''s fat back then was similar to Lan Shu''s body when she first came to this world. The woman who can only see the back in front of her now is too fat! But when Lan Shu walked up to the woman and said, "I''m here, how is the child?" The woman turned her head, and the fat woman with facial features gathered together showed a shocked expression! "It turned out to be you?!" Hearing the woman''s words, and seeing the vaguely familiar face of the woman, Lan Shu finally recognized that this wasn''t Lan Xinya, who else could it be? ! She didn''t expect that after a few months, Lan Xinya not only didn''t lose weight after giving birth, but became more and more round¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 366: anti-counterfeiting Chapter 366 Counterfeiting After recognizing Lan Xinya, Lan Shu combined the news she got before she came... The child who was allergic to bathing with the essential oil soap produced by her company is Lan Xinya''s son? ! How could it be such a coincidence? But no matter who the other party is, if it is really because of her company''s product allergy, Lan Shu will definitely not ignore it. "How is the child?" Lan Shu asked again. Lan Xinya finally realized that the essential oil soap company was actually run by Lan Shu? Originally, Lan Xinya planned to ask the essential oil soap company for three to five thousand yuan, but now, she knew how rich Lan Shu was, so how could three to five thousand yuan be enough? "My son stayed in a military hospital for a week. He had a high fever and severe allergies. He spent almost a thousand dollars in total. He went to the hospital for a reexamination a few days ago. The doctor said that the child had asthma, and the disease would last for the rest of his life. You said How much will you pay me?!" Lan Shu was surprised to learn about Lan Xinya''s son''s condition. It stands to reason that even if the female protagonist is not with the male protagonist and has the halo of the female protagonist, her son''s future achievements should not be too bad. But now, a child who has been a few months old has asthma! Lan Xinya is right, this disease will last her whole life, and her son will not have a healthy body. But Lan Shu doubted that the essential oil soap might cause people to be allergic, and there was only a little bit of floral essential oil. Flower essential oils can even cause some people with flower allergies to be allergic and even have a high fever. But the chance of allergies triggering asthma is so small, Lan Xinya''s son actually got it? Did Lan Xinya''s son have asthma before, or did he get it after allergies? Lan Shu must figure out these situations. So she looked at Lan Xinya, "As for the issue of compensation, we can go in and sit down and talk slowly." She wants to learn more about the child''s allergies before and after with Lan Xinya. It is also necessary to confirm with the hospital that the child is allergic to floral essential oils, and compensation will only be made after the evidence is complete. Lan Xinya didn''t know Lan Shu''s thoughts, but she felt that she could say something at the door right now, and there was no need to go in and chat in private. As long as she took the money, she would leave. There were people watching at the door, and Lan Shu couldn''t do without the money! So Lan Xinya refused on the spot¡ª "No need to go in and talk, just here, tell me how much compensation your company can give my son?" Seeing that Lan Xinya insisted on this, Lan Shu had no objection. She treats each other with courtesy, others don''t appreciate it, if she wants to stand and bask in the sun, then stand~ When asked about the compensation, Lan Shu answered after a little thought¡ª "We will definitely pay the full amount of the hospital''s hospitalization fee of 1,000 yuan, and another 2,000 yuan in compensation, plus the cost of your child''s asthma hospitalization in the future, we can afford it." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Lan Xinya was overjoyed¡ª She didn''t expect Lan Shu to be so generous! She knows that the long-term treatment of asthma is the most expensive! Now, my son''s future asthma expenses will be covered! But the next second, Lan Xinya heard Lan Shu''s voice change and continued. "However, the premise of these compensations is that your child is indeed sick because of the allergy to the essential oil soap in our factory." "About these issues, I will send people to the hospital to investigate, ask the doctor to issue a certificate, and pay the compensation after the procedures are complete." Lan Shu said. Lan Shu''s words made Lan Xinya panic, she was so excited that she almost jumped up! "There is no need to go to the hospital to issue a certificate, it is too time-consuming! You only need to give me 3,000 yuan, and the follow-up treatment costs will be ignored." Lan Xinya immediately expressed her thoughts, even if she lowered her own interests, she couldn''t let Lan Shu go to the hospital for investigation! The doctor knew that her child was allergic after being exposed to paint, and it had nothing to do with essential oil soap. Across from each other, Lan Shu''s words were originally a normal process of compensation procedures, but when she heard Lan Xinya''s answer, she was slightly taken aback¡ª Lan Xinya''s reaction at this moment is simply to write the word ''guilty'' on her face! Lan Shu is almost certain that Lan Xinya''s son''s allergies are definitely not as simple as an allergy to the floral essential oils in essential oil soaps! So before she asked people to investigate, she went through the process to ensure that the procedures were complete. Now, she feels that she may be able to make a fake! So she took a few steps forward, walked to Zhou Di, and asked Zhou Di to find the driver, Master Zhang, and go to the hospital as soon as possible to understand the situation. Then Lan Shu raised her eyes, met Lan Xinya''s slightly flustered eyes, and said seriously. "After all, three thousand yuan is not a small amount. Compensation must be complete. Otherwise, in the future, anyone can come and say that they are allergic to our products and make our company lose money. Then how can our company continue to operate?" Listening to Lan Shu''s words, even passers-by on the side agreed. "That''s right, the boss is not being taken advantage of, and whoever shouts a few words will lose money." "That''s right, you must find out if you lose money. Otherwise, if you said that your son was allergic to the hospital and spent money, could it really be that the hospital spent money?" Listening to the words of passers-by, Lan Xinya''s mood changed from nervous and excited to anxious. "My son is allergic to essential oil soap! There is a problem with their company''s essential oil soap. Now I am the one who suffers. Why are you still helping capitalists?!" Lan Xinya''s words ''there is a problem with essential oil soap'' made several passers-by who commented on the reason instantly silenced¡ª When Lan Shu heard this rumor, she immediately frowned. People''s words are terrifying, once the word spreads, even if it is false, it can be spread as if it is true! So she must cut off the false rumors from the source! Lan Shu raised her eyes, and glanced at the people around her one by one. "It is true that some people have special constitutions and are allergic to flowers. In addition to flowers, some people are even allergic to certain fruits, vegetables, meat, and even eggs and milk, but there are very few people with this constitution. There may not necessarily be one in the individual.¡± "Our company''s essential oil soap contains floral essential oils, which are extracted from various flowers. In addition to the fragrance, it also has the effect of moisturizing the skin." "Our company''s essential oil soaps have always been hot sellers. They sell for more than 100,000 yuan a year. I have never heard of anyone who has an allergy after using it, so everyone can use it with confidence." After speaking, Lan Shu looked at Lan Xinya. ¡°Even the **** in front of me said that her child was allergic to our company¡¯s essential oil soap, there is no real evidence to prove it. We should listen to the doctor¡¯s judgment for the details, not someone¡¯s casual statement.¡± People around the road heard the explanation from the leader of the essential oil soap company, and their doubts about the quality of the essential oil soap were immediately dispelled! Nowadays, the information is underdeveloped, and the news cannot be spread, so even if some people know that the wind blows in spring, some people will be allergic to pollen and have acne on their faces. But few people know that there are people who are allergic to fruit, milk and meat. This comparison, in fact, flower allergies are nothing. And the leaders of the essential oil soap company said that they have bought more than 100,000 yuan of essential oil soap, and have not seen anyone allergic. This shows that essential oil soap is actually very safe! (end of this chapter) Chapter 367: Counterfeit 2 Chapter 367 Counterfeiting 2 The **** who was shouting at the gate of the courtyard in front of her family that her child was allergic, she just said so, without any conclusive evidence, and everyone couldn''t believe everything. At this time, Lan Shu''s voice sounded again. "I have sent people to the hospital to investigate. I believe the results will be available soon. If you are not busy, you can stay and be a witness together." Once they heard the leader of the company speak so politely to him, of course everyone would not miss this opportunity to watch the show. So no one left, but more and more people surrounded the alley. Lan Xinya heard that Lan Shu said that she had sent someone to investigate, and it was a hot day, but she was sweating even more because of ghosts in her heart! "There is no need to investigate! It''s only three thousand yuan and you still have to be so troublesome? Aren''t you rich? You don''t want to spend this money?!" Lan Xinya was a little anxious. After Lan Shu finished her investigation, she would definitely not get any money! So you must get as much as you can before the investigation results come out! "Forget it, I don''t need you to lose money, just give me the 1,000 yuan treatment fee for my son''s hospitalization. The child at home is young, and I have to hurry back to nurse. I can''t wait that long." Lan Xinya had an idea and found a reasonable excuse for herself. But in Lan Shu''s ears, these words further verified her guess¡ª¡ª Lan Xinya said that her son was allergic to essential oil soap, which is absolutely false! Facing Lan Xinya''s reasons, Lan Shu smiled slightly and spoke softly, "If you can''t wait too long, you can leave your home address. After our company''s people investigate the results, if the doctor determines that your child is due to I am allergic to essential oil soap, I will personally send 3,000 yuan to your home." The leaders of other companies said that they gave the money in person. In the eyes of outsiders, the essential oil soap company definitely did not mean to renege on their debts. So according to normal development, lesbians whose children have accidents at home can rest assured to go home and wait. But what everyone didn''t expect was that Lan Xinya still didn''t want to wait for the result! "I''m afraid of trouble. Is it okay to lower it from three thousand to one thousand? You just want my address!" Lan Xinya frowned. Looking at Lan Xinya''s impatience, Lan Shu''s tone was light. "I don''t want to let others suffer. I agreed that three thousand is three thousand. If I give you two thousand less, I feel uncomfortable." "But no matter how much it is, the premise is to find out the matter clearly. It should be the money that our company will lose, and there will be no less." Lan Shu was quite insistent on the necessary conditions for this compensation. Seeing that Lan Xinya still wanted to defend herself, Lan Shu spoke before her. "Seeing that you are so anxious, you don''t even want money. Could it be that your child is allergic not because of our company''s essential oil soap, but because of other reasons?" Lan Shu''s words instantly hit the crux of the problem! The passers-by watching on the side heard it, and combined with Lan Xinya''s reaction, it really made sense. Someone even asked Lan Xinya directly, "Lesbians, are you really blackmailing me?" "It''s too immoral to blackmail people with your own child''s health!" "The mother-in-law and the man don''t care about it, creating karma~!" "..." This sentence reached Lan Xinya''s ears, causing her to feel embarrassed and flushed. But she left here, and she was not reconciled to not getting a penny. "Lan Shu, you are also a person with children. My son''s allergies are true and there is no adulteration. Aren''t you very rich? You are not willing to give up a thousand dollars?" Listening to Lan Xinya''s words, Lan Shu replied with a light smile. "How come? Don''t say one thousand, I can afford three thousand or five thousand, but I don''t know if your child is sick. Even if he is really sick, is it related to my company''s products? I also need to investigate, I can''t be taken advantage of if I have money, right?" "That''s right, people''s money is not blown by the wind, how can you just give it away?" The passers-by watching the excitement couldn''t stand it any longer. "You **** really have a problem with what you say. If your words are true, why wait a little longer?" "That''s right, the leaders have already said that if the situation is true, they can send you money. If you are in such a hurry, you don''t need three thousand, but one thousand. You have a ghost in your heart, right?!" "I think there are ghosts in my heart, here to extort money!" People''s words are terrifying, when everyone regards words as spearheads at Lan Xinya, how can Lan Xinya resist? Seeing that the attitude of the passers-by was obviously standing on Lan Shu''s side, Lan Xinya immediately lowered her head, and walked out of the crowd in desperation¡ª She wants to stay away from this place that makes her feel ashamed. And she knew that even if she didn''t leave, soon, when Lan Shu sent someone to the hospital to find out the cause of her son''s allergies, she wouldn''t be able to get the money. Everyone saw Lan Xinya''s reaction, needless to say, they also knew that this **** who came to someone''s door to ask for money was here to blackmail her! For a while, Lan Xinya became an existence that everyone despised! Even if she has already run away, today''s matter will be spread by many people. As to how far it has spread and how many people know about it, no one knows. But one thing Lan Shu knows is that her company''s essential oil soap will definitely be mentioned as everyone spreads gossip. This is more or less a small advertisement. Since it was an advertisement, Lan Shu suddenly had an idea¡ª Event communication advertisements are much better than direct hard advertisements, so... She looked at the audience and said loudly, "Although the other party has left, I will definitely find out the result of this matter. Let''s leave first. When there is news, I will report to everyone in the newspaper. Please come soon." Pay attention to the information in the newspaper." Lan Shu told Lan Xinya before, telling her not to appear in front of her and not to trouble her. Otherwise she will make Lan Xinya regret it! Isn''t Lan Xinya afraid of shame? Then let her be ashamed of this matter! ¡­ An hour later, Zhou Di came back with the driver, Master Zhang, and brought back a message. Lan Xinya''s son was indeed discharged from the hospital about ten days ago. He was hospitalized for a week because of severe allergies and high fever, and spent a lot of money in the intensive care unit. The child''s allergy was not due to the essential oil soap that Lan Xinya said, but the paint allergy. In addition to the hospital doctor''s reply, Zhou Di also told Lan Shu a piece of news. ¡°A paint factory previously published in the newspaper, saying that it wanted to recruit children to take advertisements. There was a family named Zeng near our alley. They took their one-year-old granddaughter to the interview, but they were not selected.¡± "So it is very likely that Lan Xinya took her son to shoot commercials, and was hospitalized because of paint allergies?" Thinking about it this way, things make sense Lan Xinya can''t understand why Lan Xinya can let a child who is a few months old go to shoot a paint advertisement. Also a mother, Lan Shu only felt sorry for the sick child. (end of this chapter) Chapter 368: Quality inspection disturbance Chapter 368 Quality inspection disturbance Three days later, a clarification that a cosmetics company¡¯s essential oil soap caused people to be allergic was published in the Kyoto Daily. The whole clarification, explaining the ins and outs of the matter, saying that the essential oil soap makes people allergic is completely deceitful! The allergy fact has nothing to do with essential oil soaps, but paint allergies. Comes with a doctor''s certificate of paint allergy. Before this, the news that people were allergic to the essential oil soap of Lan''s Cosmetics Company had not spread, and not many people knew about it. But after the news was published in the newspaper, in just one day, most people in Kyoto knew that someone went to the door of Lan Shu Cosmetics Company to extort money. By the way, the fact that paint can cause people to be allergic has also aroused widespread discussion. Soon, the hazards of paint were paid attention to¡ª The paint factory that was planning to advertise on TV saw this, and immediately contacted the TV station to put the advertisement out. The paint factory must let the public change their minds about the dangers of paint, otherwise the business of their entire paint factory will be ruined! So two days after the cosmetics company issued an allergy clarification, a child who was only a few months old appeared on TV with a brightly colored paint advertisement on his body in a white environment. In the advertisement, the chubby little baby turned over and knocked the paint can over, and then laughed happily. He used his tender little hands to grab the paint flowing on the white cloth in front of him, as if he had found some fun toy. At the end of the advertisement, several large characters were written. ¡ªbright paint, safe good paint. As soon as this kind of advertisement came out, because people were still discussing the dangers of paint a few days ago, now there are safe paints. For a while, bright paints attracted the attention of many people. Is bright color paint really safe and good paint? Some people are skeptical, but more people think that there will be no problem with the paint that even children can touch. Suddenly, the paint sales of Liangcai Paint Factory almost soared! At this time, Lan Shu finally knew how Lan Xinya let her child touch the paint¡ª A few-month-old baby was covered in paint, which made Lan Shu''s heart tremble. She called the TV station almost immediately, contacted Deputy Director Zhu, and pointed out that the paint advertisement was too misleading, and the paint contained harmful substances, which was definitely not a safe thing, so she suggested to stop the advertisement. If it were someone else who proposed to stop advertising, the TV station would not pay attention at all! But Zhu Hong knows Lan Shu''s character too well, and also knows that Lan Shu does things safely, and will not let Taili do things that are harmful to interests for no reason. So Zhu Hong said on the phone, "The smell of paint is indeed pungent, but it is not harmful. After all, everyone has used this thing for decades or even hundreds of years." "But the kid in the paint commercial had allergies the same day after the commercial was filmed, was hospitalized with a high fever, and got asthma after he recovered. This is enough to show the danger of paint." Lan Shu said seriously. "Sister Zhu Hong, it''s not that the paint cannot be used, but it must be used in an appropriate amount, and the quality inspection must be up to standard, otherwise the invisible harm cannot be underestimated." "We advertise unqualified paint in our TV station. If there is a problem with the paint factory in the future, the public will not only look for the paint factory, but also think of the TV station''s support for the paint factory. Otherwise, such paint will not be allowed to be advertised on TV. !" After listening to Lan Shu''s words, Zhu Hong became more cautious about the paint advertisement. "Okay, I will personally investigate the problem of children''s allergies to paint and paint quality inspection. If it is true, Taiwan will immediately stop the launch of paint advertisements!" Zhu Hong, deputy director of the station, said. ¡­ At the same time, in Kyoto, Meng''s house. The broadcast of the paint advertisement was also seen by Liu Cui and Meng Xiang. More than half a month ago, their little grandson was hospitalized with a high fever, which made them very worried. Now after seeing the advertisement, they realize that their grandson is actually allergic to this! The two were very sad. Why did the daughter-in-law let the child roll in the paint so cruelly? In the army, when Meng Heng was eating lunch in the company cafeteria, he also saw the paint advertisement on the TV hanging above the cafeteria. Some comrades-in-arms even said in amazement, "Oh? This little baby looks like Meng Heng''s son~!" Only a few comrades-in-arms who have a good relationship with Meng Heng vaguely know the reason why Meng Heng asked for leave to go home some time ago. At first, Meng Heng¡¯s son was sick, and then he was taking care of him. Meng Heng had just returned to the army for two days, and the paint advertisement was released. Meng Heng looked up at his son''s body covered in paint on TV, and his thoughts were pulled back almost half a month ago¡ª That day, his son was taken out of the intensive care unit by the doctor. He saw his son''s body was full of scars that receded from allergies and acne. Those small scars are densely packed, all over the body, even on the hands, face, and scalp! Such a severe allergy made Meng Heng feel distressed. He couldn''t even imagine how much his son had suffered to survive! Now looking at the smiling face of his son in the commercial, Meng Heng only felt his heart tighten, his nose sore, and his eyes were moist... At this moment, Meng Heng only had one thought¡ª He must make such unscrupulous advertisements stop and disappear from the TV! He will not allow the paint factory to use the pain of his son to deceive the public, and for the sake of profit, there is no lower limit to make money! So after Lan Shu called the TV station and proposed to stop the advertisement of the paint factory, Meng Heng also reported the matter to his superiors, explaining the danger of the paint in the paint advertisement. The advertisement of Liangcai Paint Factory was only broadcast on TV for four days, and it was completely off the air on the fifth day! Immediately afterwards, the higher-ups sent people to conduct quality inspections on the paint of Liangcai Paint Factory, and found a variety of harmful substances, which seriously affected people''s health. Liangcai Paint Factory was also shut down for rectification. If you want to sell paint, you must produce paint that meets the quality inspection standards before you can resell it. Afterwards, the Kyoto Daily published a few days of explanations on the dangers of paint, telling the public to use paint correctly, to ventilate more, to disperse the smell, and to prevent children from coming into contact with paint. Perhaps it was because the harmful substances in the paint exceeded the standard, so the above finally paid attention to the quality inspection of people''s livelihood. Half a month later, a unit in charge of quality inspection was suddenly added in Kyoto, requiring all trading commodities to undergo quality inspection, and they can only be sold after they meet the standards. Suddenly, there was a disturbance in quality inspection in the entire business district! There are countless unqualified products! Lan Shu also received an inspection notice from the relevant quality inspection unit. She wasn''t worried about this at all. Instead, she actively sent all types of cosmetics from her cosmetics company to the quality inspection department. At the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory, the leaders of the quality inspection unit are also welcome to conduct on-site inspections at any time. I have something to go out today, so there is only one chapter, try to update as soon as possible tomorrow~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 369: the interview Chapter 369 Interview In addition, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, and newly produced children''s diapers are all sorted and packaged. Even her high-end wedding dress design studio and hundreds of fabrics from the garment factory were all sent to her for testing. Now the quality inspection department has just started to inspect unqualified items, so the inspection is completely free. Lan Shu can just rely on the inspection department to issue a certificate of conformity to the products of the toilet paper factory. At the same time, let''s check the quality of the fabrics used by the garment factory. Those fabrics with substandard dyes will no longer be used in the factory in the future. For others, quality inspection is risky, and they are worried about finding problems. But for Lan Shu, the quality inspection is actually a help to help her distinguish good from bad. ¡­ One month later, the news that Lan''s cosmetics company''s entire line of products passed the inspection was published in the Kyoto Daily. This time the newspaper was not intended to be advertised by Lan Shu, but the quality inspection department had inspected thousands of household products and then notified the public, listing those unqualified products and commending the qualified products. illustrate. Because Lan Shu was too active in submitting the products of her own companies and factories for inspection at the beginning, which left a good impression on the leaders of the quality supervision department, so Lan''s cosmetics were only mentioned when commending qualified products with examples. In addition, the pass rate of the inspection products submitted by other Lanshu factories has reached more than 95%. The products of the cosmetics company and the toilet paper factory are all qualified, and the semi-finished fried chicken factory has obtained the certificate of product quality inspection. Garment factory provided hundreds of kinds of clothing fabrics for quality inspection, only three dyes failed to meet the standard, and the rest were all qualified. For fabrics that do not meet the standards, the factory will return those that can be returned, and those that cannot be returned will be directly destroyed. Even the finished clothes that have been made are withdrawn from various directly-operated stores. Fortunately, there are not many clothes made of those three kinds of fabrics, so the loss of garment factories is very small. As for the quality inspection of the Walkman, CD factory, and VCD machine, Lan Shu doesn''t have to worry about it. Lu Wei and Qian Qing can handle it well. ¡­ A few days later, in Linjiang City Daily, a commendation about Yunshu Garment Factory appeared. Before Yunshu Garment Factory found problems with individual fabrics, a series of actions attracted the attention of reporters from the Linjiang City Newspaper. Yunshu Garment Factory, as a well-known factory in Linjiang City, has now developed into a signature enterprise in Linjiang City. The Linjiang City Daily published the commendation, which also conveyed a message to the outside world. In addition to cooperating with the quality inspection work above, their factory in Linjiang City is also a good company with a conscience for the people. It is worthy of being a model and being learned by companies all over the country. Once these positive commendations are noticed by the higher authorities, the image of the entire Linjiang City will also be improved to a certain extent. First, the cosmetics company was named and praised by the quality inspection unit, and then the clothing factory was commended. As the boss of the two companies, Lan Shu, for a while, reporters from Linjiang City Daily and Kyoto Daily asked her to do an exclusive interview. Lan Shu did not refuse the interviews on both sides. This is positive publicity for the cosmetics company and the clothing factory. It will also help the future development of the company and the factory. On the day Lan Shu was interviewed by a reporter from the Kyoto Daily, Xiao Bai was also at home. Seeing his daughter-in-law answering the interview with reporter Tian from the Kyoto Daily easily, talking with eloquence, without any nervousness, Xiaobai only felt proud. At this time, Reporter Tian suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said sincerely, "I know that Mr. Gu is the boss of Xinchuang Electronics Company. I wonder if I can interview you for a few words today?" The reporter of the Kyoto Daily is a twenty-seven-eight-year-old woman whose surname is Tian, ??and her name is Tian Qin. She is quite well-known in the reporter circle, and she also knows how to catch practical hot spots. Now Reporter Tian knows that if she can interview Miss Lan and her husband at once, the article she writes for the newspaper will definitely be more topical! Xiao Bai didn''t reject the interview proposal. Seeing Lan Shu looking towards him approvingly, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Yes." He said. So the interview that was originally conducted by Lan Shu alone became two of her and Xiao Bai. The content of the interview also starts from the fact that the reason why cosmetics companies make pure plant ingredients is to be close to nature, healthy and safe, so that while the majority of female compatriots become beautiful, this beauty can also last longer. Later, the research and development direction of Xinchuang electronic information company, whether it is a pager or a mobile phone, is to make people''s lives more convenient. Hearing these words, reporter Tian just summed up a little bit during the interview, which immediately gave her the direction to write the article! ¡ªTwo successful entrepreneurs, the reason why they can achieve success is not for themselves, but for the people! ¡ªOnly thinking about the public, benefiting the public, and the positive development of the enterprise have created their career achievements today! Young entrepreneurs like this deserve everyone to learn from them! At the end of the interview, reporter Tian also asked some questions about the relationship between the two. Actually, there is no need to ask this question. Reporter Tian can also see that Ms. Lan and Mr. Gu are in a good relationship. The way they looked at each other, with the concentration and warmth that a discerning person can see at a glance. Especially when Mr. Gu looked at Miss Lan''s affectionate expression, he looked like a daughter-in-law was right in whatever she did, and he was so envious of others! Reporter Tian feels that this time her manuscript will definitely be able to perform at a super level! Write a great story¡ª At the end of the interview, reporter Tian also took a group photo of the two interviewers today, as a celebrity display picture when the celebrity interview article was released. ¡­ When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were establishing a good image in front of the official media, on the other side, Haicheng. Gu Cheng''s real estate company''s first real estate development was basically sold out. This development made him a fortune! He invested more than two million yuan before, and now he has earned 40% of the profit in more than a year. After he decided to make persistent efforts in the direction of real estate and develop stronger, Gu Cheng took another fancy to another piece of land not far from downtown Haicheng. When he went to the Land Bureau to submit the formalities to buy the development right of the land, he was rejected. The leaders of the Land Bureau did not explain the reasons for rejecting him. However, Gu Cheng noticed that those bureau leaders who had eaten with him many times before looked at him with obvious suspicion avoidance. As if he messed up something? This gave Gu Cheng a bad premonition! Did I really cause something unknowingly? It didn''t take long for Gu Cheng to understand the reason. A sudden phone call from Kyoto made Gu Cheng instinctively raise his vigilance¡ª¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 370: Failed to go out Chapter 370 Failed to go out On the phone, Gu Cheng heard his father, Gu Anguo, asking him to go back in a serious tone. Gu Chengyou asked, "What is it?" But he didn''t get a clear answer from his father. Gu Cheng didn''t go back obediently at the first time. When he found that something was wrong, he used his contacts in the capital to inquire about it. Two days later, he found out that Mr. Wei seemed to be in a bad mood these past few months. Since the new year, the old man and his father have seldom interacted with each other. There are also rumors that the old man seems to have found out the murderer who almost killed his grandson and made his grandson return home with amnesia¡ª Hearing such news, Gu Cheng''s heart trembled! Although he still doesn''t know the authenticity of the news, Gu Cheng knows that he may be in big trouble... But in the end, he had to go back and see for himself. On the fourth day after receiving his father''s call, Gu Cheng returned to Kyoto from Haicheng. It took more than ten hours to drive along the way. Gu Cheng thought repeatedly about the days of the New Year. After he came home on the first day of the new year, he heard the phone call from Qingyang County to his home. Could it be that the matter that his father asked someone to investigate back then has some clues? Gu Cheng even prepared for the worst. If Dad knew that he almost killed Gu Jue, what would he do? Do you want to send your own son to a prison cell? The reason why Gu Cheng dares to go back now is because Gu Jue is fine and returned safely. So the worst outcome of the development of the situation is that you and your family admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness. Then his father may no longer recognize his son and want to sever the father-son relationship with him. That''s just right, and I can develop my own business ambitions more freely! Gu Cheng feels that there is not much commercial space in Kyoto, and Haicheng is an excellent place for him to develop his business talents. As long as he is given time, in the future, he will become famous and become a business tycoon! At that time, the Gu family will be their own drag. ¡­ At this time, in Kyoto, the Gu family, and Gu Anguo have all the evidence in their hands. In fact, as early as the first day of the new year, Gu Anguo understood what his eldest son was doing through temptation. The reason why it has been delayed until now is that there is no perfect evidence at the time, and secondly, he knows that Gu Cheng is still developing a real estate business in Haicheng. Once Gu Cheng is arrested and held responsible, his real estate development in Haicheng will be forced to stop, and the original good residential projects will be put on hold or even unfinished, which will harm the national interest. So whether it is Gu Anguo or Mr. Wei, it is for the sake of the overall situation that they postpone the time to solve the matter until now. Now, Gu Cheng''s real estate company''s real estate sales have come to an end, so it''s time to reveal the guilt of his crime of buying a murderer and cruelly persecuting his own brother! ¡­ In late August, the temperature on this day is not as muggy as before. There is a cool breeze blowing in the sky, and the sun is not so harsh and dazzling. It is a good day to go out and play. Before school started, Xiaobai drove the car himself, and took his wife and daughter to take a trip around Kyoto. Little Qingning has been more than five months old. When she saw her father taking her out, she was white and soft, with a braid on her head, clapping her hands and screaming happily. It''s a pity that today''s itinerary didn''t go smoothly. Xiao Bai just drove the car to the suburbs of Beijing, and before he went to the scenic spot, he received a call from his father on his mobile phone. "Gu Jue, go home now." Gu Anguo''s tone was serious. noob:¡­ "Dad, I''m going out, what''s the matter, we''ll talk about it tomorrow." Xiaobai just hesitated for a moment, and put Gu Anguo''s explanation in his heart. Gu Anguo: ¡­ His originally heavy heart was made a little helpless by his youngest son''s indifference. But today''s matter is very important, even if the younger son has something to do, he must come back! "It can''t be tomorrow, no matter where you are now, hurry back." Gu Anguo said, paused for a moment, and then continued, "The culprit who was assassinated in Qingyang County has been found, you... come back." Saying these words, Gu Anguo was so tired that he seemed to have aged a lot. "Gu Jue, today''s matter is very important." Gu Anguo sighed. "I see." Xiao Bai''s expression also became calm. He had been thinking about whether his father was reluctant to part with the eldest son, so he stopped mentioning that matter after the Chinese New Year. Now it seems that some things will always come when they should come. So after finishing the call, Xiaobai parked the car on the side of the road, turned around, and showed an apologetic expression to his wife. "Lan Shu, I can''t take you and Xiao Qingning to play around today..." When he said this, Xiaobai himself didn''t realize that he, who is in charge of medical research alone and is very powerful in the company, now faces the person he likes and feels wronged, which is very pitiful. Seeing Xiaobai''s appearance, Lan Shu couldn''t help covering her mouth and smiling. "Then go back," she said. It''s not that she is considerate, but that she knows that if there is any possibility, Xiao Bai will put her first. The reason why he proposed to go back must be because something big happened. Besides, the voice on the phone is so loud, she has heard the conversation between Xiaobai and his father clearly. Was the culprit who assassinated Xiaobai back then? She is also interested in hearing who that person is! If it was as she guessed, it was Gu Cheng who couldn''t tolerate Xiao Bai back then, that''s why he hurt him. Then she has a reasonable reason to deal with Gu Cheng with peace of mind! The husband and wife made a decision, and when they drove back, only Xiao Qingning didn''t understand why. Obviously I heard from my parents that I want to go out to play, but I ended up playing at my grandparents¡¯ house¡­ Xiao Qingning: ¡­ ¡­ The Gu family at this time, Gu Cheng has been back for a while. After arriving home, he found that apart from his father and adoptive mother Wei Qiushuang, the old man and his nominal grandmother Li Qi were not absent today. This scene made his premonition even worse! And he obviously felt the atmosphere at home was dignified. This made Gu Cheng''s heart skip a beat! Perhaps the worst outcome, he will face it today... Because Gu Jue hadn''t come yet, no one in the family mentioned anything. From 9 am to 10:30 am, for Gu Cheng, during this time, he felt like he was restless and his days felt like years. He even asked tentatively, "Dad, what''s the matter with you asking me to come back?" The only answer to Gu Cheng is Gu Anguo''s words, "We''ll talk about it when your brother comes back." Finally, when it was almost eleven o''clock, Xiao Bai drove back to the compound. Parked the car in front of the house, Xiao Bai got out of the car, picked up his daughter, and walked into the house with Lan Shu. Gu Cheng hasn''t seen Gu Jue for half a year, but it''s just that he hasn''t seen him for half a year. He can clearly feel from Gu Jue that the other party''s youthful aura has faded, and the man''s edge is beginning to show¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 371: deal with Chapter 371 Processing It turns out that in the past six months, not only he has made great progress in his career, Gu Jue has also grown. Thinking of the electronic information company under the name of Gu Jue... Thinking of the small and convenient mobile phones that have become popular among the wealthy circles of Haicheng in the past few months... What Gu Cheng has been reluctant to think about, now he has to take it to heart. With Gu Jue''s growth rate, Gu Cheng even worried that he would be overtaken by Gu Jue soon. At home, in the living room, Xiaobai saw Gu Cheng sitting on the chair opposite the sofa with an uneasy expression, but instead he smiled at Gu Cheng. In the eyes of parents, grandpa, and grandma, this smile is the kind greeting from the younger brother after seeing his elder brother. But in Gu Cheng''s eyes, I don''t know if it was Gu Cheng''s illusion, but because of Gu Jue''s smile, his heart suddenly turned cold! That smile at this moment seems to be a mockery of his impending revelation¡ª "Dad, Mom, I''m back." Xiao Bai said, looking away from Gu Cheng and looking at his parents. After finishing speaking, he turned around again, walked up to grandpa and grandma who were sitting in front of the sofa, and greeted with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma also came here specially to hear the news of my murder?" At this time, Xiaobai talked about the incident when he almost died, and he behaved calmly. The more he reacted like this, the more distressed the elders in the family were. Their grandsons/sons lost their memories of the past precisely because of what happened back then. Will not listen to their dissuasion and arrangement, resolutely chose to leave the road of military and political direction, and develop into medicine. Wei Jin believes that even though his grandson is very talented in medicine, he still feels a pity in his heart that there will be no successors on his path... "Oh~" Wei Jin sighed. Li Qi was also silent at the side, preoccupied. Wei Qiushuang said nothing, and after calling his daughter-in-law to sit down, he hugged his little granddaughter from Lan Shu''s arms, and then looked at her husband. When Gu Cheng heard Gu Jue''s words, his heart jumped! Sure enough, the worst was about to happen¡ª In the end, it was Gu Anguo who spoke. He looked sideways at Gu Cheng and reprimanded him, "Gu Cheng, why did you kill your own brother!" Saying this sentence, Gu Anguo''s face was full of disappointment and incomprehensible feelings. His two sons, the eldest persecuting the youngest son, Gu Anguo thought about it for several months, but couldn''t figure out why Gu Cheng did that? And when Gu Cheng heard what his father said, of course he would not admit it! Before there is no definite evidence, he will not admit it. Even if the evidence is in front of him, he still has to look at the situation before deciding whether to admit his mistake. So Gu Cheng had a confused look on his face, "Dad, what are you talking about?" The one who answered Gu Cheng was Gu Anguo who took out pieces of evidence from a file bag¡ª "The reason why your brother lost his memory is because the back of his head was smashed, and the blood clot in his brain oppressed the nerves, so he couldn''t remember the past. He was picked up from the river by the Lan family in Tianshui Village. thrown into the river." "The river in Qingyang County, which is closer to the train station, leads to Tianshui Village. After several months of salvage, the luggage that your brother brought was salvaged from the river. There was nothing missing in it, even the money. " While speaking, Gu Anguo stared at the expression of the eldest son. Then he continued, "The person who stunned Gu Jue and threw him into the river was not trying to make money, it was purely killing his life!" Hearing these words, Gu Cheng''s fists on both sides of his body tightened slightly. He made a special statement at the beginning, so that those gangsters who did it should not miss Gu Jue''s things, and they must be destroyed! Didn''t expect the other party to do enough, so the so-called destruction is thrown into the river? Now that Gu Jue was murdered, it was determined that it was no accident. Afterwards, Gu Anguo took out the confessions of the gangsters "Baldhead" and "Lao Liu". The bald head didn''t know who was instigating him, but he could hear the accent of the other party from Qingyang County. The 10,000 yuan that ''Baldhead'' received in the name of his relatives was also found to have been sent from Kyoto. The amount of money is not very large, but after checking the accounts of the electrical appliance company opened by Gu Cheng, the source of the money can still be found out. As well as Gu Cheng¡¯s call records during that time, I contacted my classmates in Qingyang County two months before the accident to inquire about it. The most important thing is that the public phone card that Gu Cheng used to contact the gangster "bald head" in Qingyang County was found in the corner of his office drawer. It can be said that the evidence is conclusive! Seeing a series of evidence clearly listed by Gu Anguo, Gu Chengcai was surprised to find that his company in the capital had been investigated so clearly in the past year since he went to Haicheng to do business! Faced with such detailed information, even if Gu Cheng didn¡¯t want to admit it, he had to admit it¡ª He looked up, looked away from the pile of evidence on the table, and looked at his father. "dad¡­" As soon as he yelled, Gu Anguo interrupted him sternly! "Gu Cheng! What were you thinking before you killed your brother?" Gu Anguo said, his eyes turned red. Seeing that Gu Cheng was at a loss for words for a while and did not answer, Gu Anguo took a deep breath. "Since you have done these things, you should pay for what you did!" Gu Anguo has already made up his mind, he will not favor his son, the eldest son has already grown up, he should be responsible for what he did. Gu Cheng was slightly taken aback when he heard his father say that¡ª What does his father mean, this matter is not going to be a family apology and it will be over in private? "Dad, I know I was wrong." Gu Cheng said, looking at Gu Anguo. Although he was apologizing, he frowned, showing no sign of remorse. Aside, Mr. Wei saw his son-in-law''s eldest son look like a jerk, and endured a few moments of anger before suppressing the urge to teach him a lesson himself! If his own grandson was killed, if it wasn''t for his daughter''s face, or because Gu Anguo was his son-in-law, and he believed that Gu Anguo could handle the matter well. Otherwise, he would have beaten that **** Can Gu Cheng long ago! Fortunately, his son-in-law Gu Anguo did not disappoint him. Facing Gu Cheng''s insincere apology, Gu Anguo said in a heavy tone, "It''s too late, you''ve already done the thing, so an apology is useless." Gu Anguo looked at Gu Cheng, with a last trace of a father-son conversation in his tone. "Gu Cheng, think about it, if your younger brother wasn''t so fateful back then, if he wasn''t picked up by the Lan family, or even drowned in the river, then you would have a living life in your hands~! And it''s your own brother''s life!" Speaking of these, Gu Anguo even had tears in his eyes. "Gu Cheng, I will persuade your younger brother to spare your life, and ask the judge to give you a lighter sentence, and you will be released after ten years of attempted murder..." "Dad!" Gu Cheng looked at Gu Anguo in surprise, he couldn''t believe that his biological father was so cruel and wanted to send him to prison! There will be another chapter later~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 372: the bottom line Chapter 372 Bottom line For this result, Gu Anguo has considered it carefully. In fact, for attempted murder, if the sentence is more serious, it will be life imprisonment or even the death penalty! It is precisely because Gu Cheng is also his son, so from the father''s perspective, Gu Anguo gave the eldest son a chance. And for such an opportunity, he also had to seek the consent of his youngest son. Gu Anguo has already made up his mind, even if he doesn''t want this old face and begs his younger son, he can''t let his elder son die But this is the opportunity for him to risk everything, the eldest son still doesn''t cherish it. He even stared at him in shock, as if he was so vicious! Looking at the back and forth conversations and reactions between the father and son, Lan Shu has already placed Gu Cheng in a hostile position in her heart. Xiao Bai watched coldly the whole time, he wanted to hear his father''s final decision. Wei Jin and Liu Qi were silent, although they both felt that it would definitely be cheap for Gu Cheng to go to jail for ten years to make up for his mistakes! But the people who are most qualified to judge this matter are not them, but Gu Anguo and their grandson Gu Jue himself. "Dad, I did something wrong before. At that time, I was young and energetic, and I used my brains that I shouldn''t have. When I think of that incident, I regret it now. Fortunately, Gu Jue is fine, so please forgive me..." Gu Cheng said, got up and left the chair, and knelt down straight towards Gu Anguo¡ª He could feel the solemn atmosphere in the family at the moment, and he could also see that his biological father was determined to send him to prison! In order for himself to get through the current bad situation safely and for his bright future in the future, Gu Cheng hesitated before making a soft gesture and begging for forgiveness. It''s a pity that he even asked for wrong help¡ª Looking at Gu Cheng''s kneeling posture, Xiao Bai finally spoke coldly beside him. "Ten years in prison is too light a punishment." After the words fell, Xiaobai raised his head and met his father''s gaze. "Dad, I know you love your son, but I almost never came back." Xiaobai said, not complaining about his father''s self-assertion and lenient treatment of Gu Cheng, but he thought of his original miserable life that he saw in the dream... Assassinated by her own brother, she lost her memory in those years and went through hardships. After regaining her memory and returning home, she just wanted to seek justice for herself, but was suppressed by Gu Cheng, who had already gained power, and fell into endless suffering in her heart every day. In the end, Gu Cheng not only harmed himself, but also ruined the entire Gu family and Wei family! The self who had completely lost power was persecuted, tortured, and physically mutilated by Gu Cheng''s order, and finally killed himself. Those things, one after another, have nothing to do with the current self, but they are enough for Xiaobai to experience them personally. As long as he closes his eyes, he can ''see'' those things happening. Gu Anguo had long thought that he would beg the younger son for his elder son''s forgiveness, but now that he is facing the younger son''s prosecution, as a father, he really has no position to let the younger son let go of the person who almost killed him. But Gu Anguo is a father after all. He looked at his youngest son, with pain and struggle gradually appearing on his face. Finally, he said in a trembling voice. "Gu Jue, even though Gu Cheng has done unconscionable things, he is still my son after all..." Xiaobai can understand his father''s heart as a father, but it is impossible for him to forgive Gu Cheng! He looked at his father and said seriously, "I don''t ask for a severe sentence for Gu Cheng''s harming me. As long as Dad promises to me and don''t find someone to take advantage of it, I will give you a light sentence. Just be fair." This is already the bottom line Xiaobai can accept! Gu Anguo listened to his youngest son''s request, he knew that what he said would be futile. Unless it is for the eldest son, don''t want the father-son relationship between him and the younger son. So he lowered his head and struggled for a long time before slowly nodding in agreement. But such a result is not acceptable to Gu Cheng! He knew that Gu Jue had become cruel, and it was useless to beg Gu Jue by himself, so Gu Cheng aimed at his father and... the old man of the Wei family. He looked at Gu Anguo, his expression hard to hide his sadness, "Dad, I have lost my mother since I was a child, and you brought me up alone. I did something wrong before, please give me another chance..." ¡°Now I have started a company and helped hundreds of people solve their work problems. My electrical appliance business has provided convenience for many people, and the real estate company has even promoted the development of the city.¡± "If I go in, hundreds of people will lose their jobs, and the electrical industry in Kyoto and Haicheng will also be in turmoil!" Gu Cheng''s words are not only pleading with Gu Anguo, but also speaking to Mr. Wei. The old man attaches great importance to the development of the country, which is why he agreed with his son-in-law Gu Anguo to delay the disposal of Gu Cheng. Now I heard Gu Cheng say that once he goes to jail, hundreds of people will lose their jobs, and as a result, hundreds of families will be in dire straits. In addition, Gu Cheng''s real estate company in Haicheng is really doing well, and it can be regarded as contributing to the development of Haicheng. He can''t forgive Gu Cheng for what he did to his own grandson, but he can''t just watch so many people pay the price for Gu Cheng''s imprisonment. Hearing Gu Cheng''s calculations in her heart, Lan Shu couldn''t hold back at all, she sneered "hehe~", got up and stood up from the sofa. "Gu Cheng, do you think the mall can''t continue to operate without you? Maybe it''s okay if you lie to others." Speaking, Lan Shu turned around and looked at Mr. Wei, then glanced at Gu Anguo again. "Grandpa, Dad, you can rest assured that if any company goes bankrupt, other businessmen will immediately take over!" "As for the unemployment of employees, it''s nothing. In the current environment, since the reform and opening up in the past few years, when business was allowed, how many state-owned enterprises have closed down and reduced their employees for transformation? As long as you have hands and feet, you can endure hardship and work hard. There are job opportunities everywhere.¡± What Lan Shu said is true. Both Mr. Wei and Gu Anguo believed in the words of their grandson-in-law/daughter-in-law. So if Gu Cheng wanted to plead for mercy again, he didn''t have that excuse anymore. Finally, the old man called the guards around him, and directly took Gu Cheng with an incredible face out¡ª Seeing Gu Cheng pay the price for what he did, the ''stone'' that Xiaobai had been holding in his heart was finally let go. Although Gu Anguo is still very sad, but the matter has come to this point, he can only sigh and let this matter take its course. Lan Shu felt the heavy atmosphere in the Gu family at the moment, and she set her eyes on her mother-in-law Wei Qiushuang beside her. Wei Qiushuang lowered her head, looking at Xiao Qingning, who was unaffected in her arms and fell asleep at some point. She heard everything just now, but she didn''t seem to pay attention to those things. Noticing her daughter-in-law''s gaze, Wei Qiushuang raised her head, smiled at Lan Shu, and then returned her sleeping granddaughter. (end of this chapter) Chapter 373: ungrateful Chapter 373 Wolf Hearted Dog Lung Lan Shu was surprised that Wei Qiushuang didn''t express any opinion on this matter. But thinking about it, she took her daughter first, and then she was about to say goodbye to the elders in the room. At this time, Wei Qiushuang who was beside him suddenly stood up from the sofa and strode towards the door. Seeing this, Lan Shu subconsciously followed her with her daughter in her arms, and saw outside the gate of the Gu family, Wei Qiushuang stared at Gu Cheng who was being pinned down by the guards, she raised her hand, and said "Pa!" A heavy slap landed on Gu Cheng''s face! "From now on, you can be Gu Anguo''s son, but I am no longer your adoptive mother!" Wei Qiushuang''s voice was stern. She was extremely disappointed with Gu Cheng! Gu Cheng has been raised by her since she was eight years old, but in the end she raised a wolf! Gu Cheng actually wanted to kill his own son! So Wei Qiushuang will never forgive Gu Cheng for everything he has done! What she said was also an expression of a complete severance of ties with Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng was slapped mercilessly by Wei Qiushuang, and there were a few red finger marks on his face instantly. He looked at Wei Qiushuang bitterly, "Mother?" It seemed that what Wei Qiushuang said just now had stimulated him, making him stare at Wei Qiushuang and become resentful! "It''s because of my adoptive mother that Gu Jue and I are different! He can get everything without any effort, but I can only please carefully and rely on myself for everything!" When Gu Cheng said these words, his eyes were hostile and his tone was resentful, as if he himself had been wronged so much~! This remark made Wei Qiushuang stunned for a moment¡ª Aside, listening to Gu Cheng''s condemnation, Lan Shu couldn''t stand it any longer! She turned around and handed the sleeping daughter in her arms to Xiao Bai who had just walked out of the room with her, then turned her head and looked at Gu Cheng coldly. "Some people were born in Rome, and some were born to be cows and horses. Their births are uncontrollable, and only themselves can be controlled." "Ambition is not a bad thing. If you have the ability to match your ambition, it is also one of the ways to success." "It is undeniable that you are indeed capable in the business world. With your ability, if you don''t get jealous, don''t complain, and walk on the right path, your future development may not be worse than anyone else." "But the last thing you should do is to use the gap in status as an excuse to harm people, or even want to kill people!" Speaking of this, Lan Shu looked at Gu Cheng with a cold and unfriendly gaze! Thinking that the original hero is such an unscrupulous person, she deeply doubts the original three views hidden in this world. Under the aura of the protagonist, the male protagonist has a successful career, and the female protagonist has a sweet love, but all of this is in exchange for innocent victims and undeserved sacrifices! Lan Shu took a deep breath and met Gu Cheng''s gaze again. "You have fallen to this point now, no one else is to blame. If you want to blame it, blame your impure mind and lack of greed! Do you think you can have everything in the Gu family and the Wei family by getting rid of Gu Jue?!" Hearing what Lan Shu said, Gu Cheng looked at Lan Shu in shock! He never said these words to anyone. But at this moment, Lan Shu seems to be able to see through his heart! ¡ª What he thought in his heart was completely confided by another person! At this moment, Gu Cheng looked at Lan Shu in surprise. Compared with before, he had a new view of Lan Shu. The woman in front of her is not only beautiful and capable in business, but her ability to read people''s hearts even makes Gu Cheng feel terrible! Besides, Wei Qiushuang didn''t know the reason why Gu Cheng harmed her son. But now, seeing Gu Cheng''s shocked expression because of Lan Shu''s words, she understands that Lan Shu has rightly said all Gu Cheng''s inner thoughts! So in Gu Cheng''s heart, he thought this way? "Isn''t I not good enough for you? Since I married your father, I have been worrying about everything about your food and clothing. My dedication to you is not as good as that of my own son!" What Wei Qiushuang said is the truth. She feels sorry for Gu Cheng who lost her mother since she was a child, so she is more concerned about this child. As for her biological son, because the old man in the family took her son to train him every now and then, Gu Jue didn''t spend so much time by her side. "When you grow up, I arranged your job with my relationship. Later, you wanted to start a business and quit your job without saying a word. I didn''t blame you. I even found a relationship to help you in the purchase channel." Speaking of these, Wei Qiushuang felt that she fed the dog sincerely! "Although I''m just your adoptive mother, I treat you no worse than other people''s real mothers! And you can become my adopted son and be taken care of by me. Isn''t it better than no one cares about you?" So what Gu Cheng said that he treats him and his own son is different, and there is indeed a difference. But Wei Qiushuang is also doing her best to fulfill the responsibility of being a mother, she has a clear conscience! Gu Cheng can''t deny what Wei Qiushuang said, but he just can''t accept that the Wei family and Wei Qiushuang paved the way for Gu Jue, while he was just assigned a job. They never thought of letting themselves embark on a career in military affairs, nor would they waste those connections on themselves! It is for this reason that he is jealous of Gu Jue! Only when Gu Jue disappears can he be taken seriously¡ª Seeing Gu Cheng''s unrepentant look, Lan Shu was so angry that she couldn''t help but want to scold a few words! "An adopted son is an adopted son. Why do you think you can be compared with other people''s biological sons? If it were me, it would be good if I could accept you and give you food. As for how I treat you, it depends on how you treat me .¡± "For a wolf-hearted and unfamiliar thing like you, you are lucky to meet such a foster mother, but you are not satisfied?" Lan Shu said, although it was not enough to relieve her anger, she was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with Gu Cheng. "A good hand of cards has been played poorly. Now you are in a situation where you suffer the consequences. Then you should taste the consequences of harming others in the prison!" After finishing speaking, Lan Shu turned her eyes away and stopped looking at Gu Cheng. Wei Qiushuang on the side couldn''t help crying when he heard Lan Shu''s words. Beside her, Gu Anguo, who came out with Xiaobai one after another, listened to the elder son''s grievances and saw his wife''s grievances, he stepped forward and said, ''Crack! ¡¯, and slapped the elder son **** the face! "Asshole! Shushu is right, you are a wolf!" Gu Anguo was so angry that his heart ached when he learned the reason why his elder son wanted to harm his younger son. Even this slap doesn''t relieve my anger! Before, he wanted to rely on his relationship to make the elder son''s crime lighter, but now, he doesn''t care! With Gu Cheng like this, he should stay in prison for a few more years and reflect on himself! So Gu Anguo waved his hand at the guard at the door and ordered Gu Cheng to be taken away. In the yard, Lan Shu gently patted her mother-in-law on the back, comforting, "It''s not worth crying for such a person." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Wei Qiushuang raised his head. She wiped away the tears on her face, and although she was still sobbing a little bit, she nodded. "Yes, it''s not worth it." After finishing speaking, Wei Qiushuang took a deep breath and tried hard to calm down. She wants to let the past, and the sad mood pass together¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 374: the meeting Chapter 374 Meeting One month later, Gu Cheng hired a murderer for attempted murder. Although there was no interference from Gu Anguo, the sentence was still ten years old. After Gu Cheng was imprisoned, his electrical appliance company and real estate company also closed down. As Lan Shu said before, after Gu Cheng¡¯s electrical appliance store closed, his electrical counterparts in both Kyoto and Haicheng quickly dropped his original business. As for the real estate company, before closing down, Xu Yunjie contacted some people, relying on the connections he made with Gu Cheng back then, plus his accumulated experience as a construction supervisor, he became a contractor. And Li Xiumei still followed Xu Yunjie. Li Xiumei wanted to separate from Xu Yunjie wholeheartedly, but was frightened by Xu Yunjie''s beating, and she dared not mention divorce again. After Xu Yunjie''s career as a contractor improved, Li Xiumei completely gave up the idea of ??leaving Xu Yunjie. Xu Yunjie, who in her eyes could not accomplish anything, seems to be on the verge of prosperity. Li Xiumei has already imagined her life as a rich wife in the future, so her attitude towards Xu Yunjie has changed from resentment before to trying to please her now. It''s a pity that since she betrayed Xu Yunjie and was caught in bed, in Xu Yunjie''s heart, she no longer treats her as a human being. For Xu Yunjie, Li Xiumei is a free servant, a punching bag to vent her emotions, and a tool to vent her desires. After his career improved, he immediately took care of a young and beautiful woman outside. Even if Li Xiumei knew about it, she dared not speak out, fearing that Xu Yunjie would dump her, so she pretended not to know. ¡­ Time enters December, Kyoto. The youngest granddaughter of the Gu family, Gu Qingning, has been ten months old. Because of the good nutrition and good health, ten-month-old Xiao Qingning is learning to walk recently. Lan Shu takes her daughter for a walk in the room or in the yard every day, and the nanny Lin Ting also takes the child to do some walking exercises in the rest of the time. Xiaobai is currently busy with her graduation results. Not a college graduate, but a graduate student. Xiaobai has studied other people''s courses for six years in three years from school to now. After graduating, he plans to take a break for a while before raising his academic qualifications. It has been more than three years since Lan Shu came to this world. This year is 1983, a year of rapid business development. Lan Shu''s career has also improved a lot compared to previous years. Among them, she just invested in the film and television company that allowed it to develop. This year gave her a big surprise! In addition to the first two dramas that were filmed in the company, they were very popular, and they became popular dramas for a long time after the broadcast! With the previous success, there will be more TV series in the future. The company has a complete production team, from script, shooting, actors, to post-production. Talents are cultivated once and secondly. The first two directors were like catching ducks on the shelves, but now they are quite proficient in shooting TV dramas, from long and short shots, to angles of view, and the use of lenses. When they became directors again, they were no longer stage-frightened about their position, and even full of confidence! The hits of the two TV series "One Family" and "Da Ming" not only benefited from broadcast copyrights, but also drove the sales of VCDs and CDs. And many actors in the play have become familiar stars in the eyes of the people! Among them, Li Xiaoyu''s development surprised Lan Shu. Originally, Li Xiaoyu, the disheveled second female lead in "A Family", left a deep impression on the audience. In addition, after Li Xiaoyu finished filming "A Family", she immediately entered the next crew. After two dramas Come to hone her acting skills. Recently, she turned around and became the heroine in the new drama that the company is preparing to audition again! The new drama is a fairy tale type, Li Xiaoyu''s image is already good, plus her acting skills are online now, I believe her achievements in the entertainment industry will definitely not be low in the future! The development of film and television companies is booming, and the high-end wedding dress customization studio is also famous in Kyoto, and its business has developed from the previous custom wedding dresses to the present wedding dress rental, makeup, and shooting. The next step is to add another host project at any time, and then settle in the wedding industry¡ª ¡­ At the end of the month, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce held a year-end meeting of the business district. In previous years, if Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were free, they would be invited to the dinner party held by the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. But this year, President Li directly sent the invitation letter for the meeting to Lan Shu and Xiao Bai. And it was quite formal, two people, one share, no one was treated lightly because of the husband and wife relationship between Lan Shu and Xiao Bai. According to Li Jiaojiao who came to deliver the invitation letter, there will be a major announcement at this meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. Her father specially invited Lan Shu and Gu Jue because he valued the development of their company. In other words, both Lan Shu and Xiao Bai are rich. So Lan Shu blindly guessed that the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce might have something to do with money¡ª President Li''s invitation, Lan Shu naturally gave face. And she also wants to know, what big projects does the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce have to do? As for Xiao Bai, his wife is going, so naturally he will not be absent. So on the day of the meeting, at 2:30 in the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived on the third floor of the Kyoto Hotel on time, in the conference hall that had been prepared long ago. As for Xiao Qingning, who was still young and couldn''t leave her mother for too long, she was arranged to take a nap in a guest house near the hotel, where the nanny Lin Ting took her nap. ¡­ Kyoto Grand Hotel, in a meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. The long circular conference table is more than 20 meters long, with a total of more than 60 seats. But even so, it was not enough for more than 200 people to sit in the conference hall. So the two sides of the conference table are next to the wall, and there are four rows of long tables neatly arranged as the positions of other participants. It was the first time for Lan Shu and Xiao Bai to attend the meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, but they had a seat at the circular conference table. Moreover, both of them are located relatively in the front, only three or four people away from the chief President Li. After sitting down according to the position of the nameplate on the table, Lan Shu turned her head and scanned the audience. As President Li''s daughter, Li Jiaojiao''s seat is not arranged in a corner, but it is far away from the circular main conference table and close to the wall. As for Lan Shu''s father, Lan Weicheng, even though he has made great progress in his career in the past two years, he is not qualified to sit at the main conference table. Based on this comparison, Lan Shu found that, in the eyes of Chairman Li, her and Xiao Bai''s positions in the business district of Kyoto were indeed extraordinary! As newcomers to the meeting, the two sat in conspicuous positions, quickly attracting the attention of everyone present. But all the participants didn''t feel that the two of them shouldn''t be in that position. On the contrary, many people looked at Lan Shu with reverence, and looked at Xiao Bai with unconcealed envy. Miss Lan''s ability to do business is unmatched, she simply does a job and earns a job! As for the young master of the Gu family, how can people not be envious of marrying such a daughter-in-law? Many people even think that the electronic information company under Young Master Gu may have developed to this point with Miss Lan''s help! (end of this chapter) Chapter 375: 10 million investment Chapter 375 Ten Million Investment The meeting officially begins¡ª There is not much official nonsense in the current meeting. Almost after President Li''s two or three sentences, it directly enters the topic! After listening for ten minutes, Lan Shu understood the reason why President Li specially invited her and Xiao Bai to the conference this time. This time, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is going to engage in a big project, which requires a lot of money! Chairman Li hopes that everyone in the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce can work together to make this project a success. So this meeting is more practical than the year-end meeting of the chamber of commerce in previous years. "The project for the development of Shencheng actually started within two years after the reform and opening up, but three years later, due to the lack of capital investment, the development of Shencheng has not made much progress." "I started this time, and I also received instructions from above. Besides, I think the project in Shencheng is worth investing in, so I want to hear everyone''s opinions." Listening to Chairman Li''s words, everyone was silent at the meeting. Many people present knew a little about the situation in Shencheng. As a special economic zone, although there is support from above, the investment in building a district from scratch is absolutely astonishing! As far as they have tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and their wealth is thicker, there may be hundreds of thousands of money, if they invest in Shencheng, it will be a drop in the bucket, and nothing will come to pass! So no one dares to make a rash decision on investing in Shencheng. They dare not take that risk¡ª For a while, the meeting went cold. As Chairman Li''s daughter, Li Jiaojiao must respond to and support her father''s proposal. So even though she had no hope of gaining any return from her investment, and was ready to spend money in vain, she got up immediately, stood up from her seat, and said. "I voted 100,000 for this project." One hundred thousand yuan is almost the profit of Li Jiaojiao''s custom shoe studio for a year. This is because of her custom-made shoes, she was stationed in Lanshu''s wedding dress customization studio, and she developed more wealthy customers by relying on the contacts the wedding dress studio made. And these customers have gradually become loyal customers of her customized shoes, and each of them will order at least four or five pairs of shoes a year! Li Jiaojiao''s investment of 100,000 yuan did not move the other members of the chamber of commerce present. Everyone here knows that Li Jiaojiao is President Li''s daughter, this is President Li taking the lead, and her daughter is here~ So in the half a minute after Li Jiaojiao''s voice fell, no one at the scene followed her and expressed investment intentions. Seeing the silence in the meeting again, Chairman Li couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. He predicted from the beginning that there might be a result that everyone would not invest actively. But he really didn''t expect that under the current situation, no one is optimistic about the project he proposed! This made President Li even doubt himself, is the project developed by Shencheng really feasible in the future? In the next second, in the quiet meeting place, Lan Shu''s clear voice was clearly heard by everyone present¡ª "I vote five million," she said. Actually, Lan Shu doesn¡¯t have five million in her hand now. Before she bought land, built buildings, and developed towards real estate, she invested about four to five million. Now the cash in her hands is at most two million yuan. But the end of the year is coming soon, and the accounts of her various companies are already being summarized, and in more than half a month, when the accounts are calculated, she can take out her share of dividends first. Several factories and companies pooled together, five million is definitely not a problem! Almost immediately after Lan Shu¡¯s voice fell, and before the other people in the meeting could react from the amount of five million, Xiao Bai beside Lan Shu also spoke¡ª "I also voted five million." He said softly, as if five million was nothing to him. Actually, five million is not a small amount for a start-up electronic information company. That is because in the past two years, the company has developed well from pagers to mobile phones. In addition to these two projects, in addition to selling pagers and mobile phones, there are also monthly communication fees consumed by users who use pagers and mobile phones. Although there is no fixed monthly consumption for pagers, there is a fee for receiving incoming calls or sending messages. At least a few dollars per pager per month has to be paid. Mobile phone communication costs are higher, similar to the standards of ''big phones''. Calls are charged by the minute, and there is a two-way charge. Answering calls is 50 cents a minute, and making calls is 80 cents a minute. Customers who can afford a mobile phone are not short of money, have a wide network of contacts, and communicate a lot, so the phone bill may cost one to two hundred yuan a month, or even more! After the company''s communication products are sold, the number of customers automatically converted into customers is increasing, and the new electronic information company can make more money in communication charges than selling pagers and mobile phones! So now he can open his mouth to come up with five million. So after Li Jiaojiao invested 100,000 yuan, two more people responded to Shencheng''s investment, and the investment amount directly accumulated to 10 million yuan! No one in the room doubted that the boss of the new electronic information company, and Ms. Lan, who holds multiple positions and owns multiple companies and factories, would tell lies. Since the two said that they would each spend five million, it would really be five million! As we all know, Ms. Lan''s business ability is absolutely nothing to say. Now that she is optimistic about the Shencheng project, is it really a good project? For a while, the members of the chamber of commerce attending the meeting hesitated one by one. They want to get an excellent opportunity to make money, but they are also worried that such an opportunity will not come immediately. If tens of thousands of dollars are invested, the risk is very high, and it may just be in vain~! Before they could think too much, Lan Weicheng''s voice rang out at the meeting¡ª "Then I will also vote, let''s vote for half a million." Lan Weicheng does not have as much courage as his daughter, nor does he have as much money as her daughter. He runs his own business and has received dividends from the Walkman Factory for two years, so he has a total of 700,000 to 800,000. To be honest, the investment of 500,000 actually made him hesitate. But Lan Weicheng thought that he was hesitant to invest in the Walkman factory at the beginning. It was his daughter who made him feel at ease. As a result, the Walkman factory brought him hundreds of thousands of profits in two years¡ª So this time he decided to invest money, not because he was optimistic about the project President Li said, it was entirely out of his trust in his daughter! Lan Weicheng feels that his family''s perception of investment and business can always be trusted! After Lan Weicheng opened his mouth to follow the investment, Qian Qing, who came today on behalf of the Walkman factory, VCD factory, and CD factory, followed suit. "Two million, our factory invested¡ª" (end of this chapter) Chapter 376: Get ill Chapter 376 Sick After Qian Qing said this, he couldn''t help but glanced in Lan Shu''s direction. Recalling that when he and Lu Wei were poor, Miss Lan offered to give them 30,000 yuan to open a factory, and took the opportunity to take half of the shares in the factory. Now it seems that Miss Lan is really discerning! Walkman factory makes millions of profits a year, investing in them is really a sure profit! Now that Miss Lan said that she would invest five million yuan, Qian Qing too understood how capable this Miss Lan was of making money. So he also made a big bet! Just aiming at the two million, I hope that just like when Miss Lan invested in their factory, they can make more money, just like Miss Lan, just wait and collect the money~! After Lan Weicheng and Lu Wei followed Lan Shu and his wife to express their investment intentions, Chairman Li, who was sitting at the top of the conference table, immediately announced to the members of the chamber of commerce¡ª "The first batch of the funds we invested in the Shenzhen City development project this time is estimated to only need 30 million." This sentence sounds plain, but it is actually a urge to members of the chamber of commerce! Because of the 30 million investment amount, more than 12 million has been taken up in just a few minutes. The remaining quota of more than 10 million is vacant, and it even makes people feel that if they voted late, it would be too late... "I voted 500,000 yuan." Yu Yuan, the regional manager of Yunshu Garment Factory, said. "I voted 200,000!" said one of the first batch of old members of the chamber of commerce. "I''ll invest one million." In the chamber of commerce, the boss of the antique business said. "I voted 300,000!" "I voted 100,000!" "I voted 150,000..." There are more and more people who want to invest. If this continues, the investment quota of 30 million may soon be full. At this time, Chairman Li also opened his mouth to invest, "This time, as the chairman, I will invest one million." President Li can take the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce, so he has the ability to do business, of course. Before the reform and opening up, he sent his daughter to study abroad, which shows how rich the Li family is. So 1 million is definitely a big investment that most members of the Chamber of Commerce present cannot afford, but President Li can still get it out. Seeing that the investment quota of 30 million yuan will soon be full, the remaining members of the chamber of commerce who have not had time to express their views have a sense of urgency in their hearts! Before, what they struggled with was whether to take this risk to invest money, but now they are all worried that they have no chance to invest money! One thing they have now figured out, if this project is not good, how could Miss Lan and Young Master Gu invest five million without blinking an eye? Even President Li invested a million dollars, which shows that the project developed by Shencheng is a good project! Half an hour later, the investment quota of 30 million yuan reached full. Members of the chamber of commerce who want to reinvest later, or feel that their investment is too little, and want to invest more, no longer have that opportunity. At this moment, some people are happy, some are sad, and some are regretful. And Lan Shu calculated that she and Xiaobai accounted for one-third of the total investment in Shencheng''s first batch, which made her full of expectations for the future development of Shencheng! That''s a deep city! It seems that there is nothing now, but in the future it will be an absolute first-tier city that will not lose to Kyoto and Haicheng! It is also the top three places in the country''s economy! Lan Shu felt that as long as she had a little more money on hand, she would invest it together without hesitation! ¡­ In the afternoon, the meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is over, and in the evening there will be a dinner for the Chamber of Commerce. Lan Shu originally didn''t plan to attend the dinner party, but because of the tens of millions of investment made by her and Xiao Bai in the afternoon meeting, the two of them became the focus of the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. So as important people, facing the strong invitation of everyone in the business circle, it is difficult for the two of them to refuse. So when it was time for the dinner party, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai appeared in the banquet hall hand in hand. Fortunately, there was no Lan Xinya or Gu Cheng at this year-end dinner. This was the smoothest chamber of commerce dinner that Lan Shu had had in the past three years without any unexpected incidents... ¡­ At the same time, near the end of the year, the weather is cold and windy. Meng''s family, Lan Xinya and Meng Heng''s son, Meng Dabao, began to cough after another when the weather turned cold. The child who was a few months old fell ill repeatedly. At first it was bronchitis, and later he was hospitalized with pneumonia twice. In this day and age, pneumonia is already a serious disease, especially in children, and adults are going crazy! But Meng Dabao''s body has not been as healthy as before since he was hospitalized with a high fever and severe allergies for more than four months. Even if Meng Heng''s family took good care of the child, they couldn''t restore the child''s health. Because she was too worried about her children, the Meng family ignored Lan Xinya''s extortion of medical expenses with the essential oil soap company even though it was published in the newspaper a few months ago. Ignore Lan Xinya, not to condone her behavior, but to think that although this person belongs to their family, it doesn''t matter whether he has it or not. One family, two hearts, between the Meng family and Lan Xinya, the performance is perfect. This time Meng Dabao fell ill and still had a cough. The ten-month-old child couldn''t stay at home at all. Liu Cui just took her grandson to practice walking at the door. Know how to cry. After Meng Dabao was brought back from the hospital by his father and grandma, he took medicine for three meals a day. Because the child is young and does not know how to take pills, he can only crush the pills and pour water into his mouth. Meng Dabao took bitter medicine every day. As soon as he took it, he vomited in disgust because it was too bitter. The whole process is that the child suffers, and the adults feel distressed. Whenever this time, Liu Cui would think of his grandson''s high fever and allergies in the hospital. She couldn''t help crying, fearing that her son would feel sad when she saw it, so she went into the room and cried secretly. How could Meng Heng not know that his mother shed tears from time to time because she loved her grandson? Every time he saw his mother''s red eye circles, he knew his mother was crying again. But crying can''t solve the problem of his son always getting sick. They can only take care of their son carefully, and hope that in a few years, the child will grow up, and gradually the body will be able to resist, and perhaps less sick. I don''t want to think that on this day at the end of December, Meng Dabao''s cough didn''t gradually improve like before, but instead caused asthma! Seeing his son''s face turning purple because he couldn''t breathe, Meng Heng immediately picked up his son on the mattress, and ran towards the hospital like crazy¡ª Lan Xinya looked at the back of her man running out the door, sighed, took out a stack of money from her purse, and counted out two hundred yuan. The son is hospitalized this time, and it will cost money again... (end of this chapter) Chapter 377: useless Chapter 377 Useless The business at Lan Xinya''s watch counter is getting worse month by month. If things go on like this, the money she saved in her hands will be spent sooner or later¡ª So I have to find another way to make some money~! Lan Xinya, who has done business, knows how to make money in business, which is much better than going to work! Even if the business situation is not so good, it is still more profitable than going to work. In addition, she still has the capital to do business, so when her son Meng Dabao was hanging water and taking medicine in the hospital, her thoughts had already drifted to what kind of business to make money... ¡­ Meng Dabao was hospitalized this time, and the doctor said that fortunately, the child was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise, if it took more than ten minutes at night, he might directly suffocate with asthma, and his life would be dead by then! Such news made Meng Heng''s family flustered, and they were afraid for a while. This is the child''s first asthma attack. In the future, the eldest son of the family will have a long life. There will be another asthma, and the next time, they can prevent it once, twice, three times, four times, in case they cannot prevent it live, the child may be gone... Liu Cui couldn''t help crying because of this. And Meng Heng also made a decision at this time, he must worry more about his son! By the time Meng Dabao was discharged from the hospital, it was already three days later. For the sake of his son, Meng Heng submitted an application for discharge to the army before the end of the year. Even if his mother takes care of the child at home, he is not at ease. ¡ª¡ª Meng Heng submitted his discharge report this time with such a resolute attitude that even his parents couldn''t stop him. The army will have a discharge approval every year. At the end of the year, the soldiers will be discharged collectively. Meng Heng can be regarded as catching up with the last train to leave the army. He didn''t tell Lan Xinya that he was going to be discharged from the army. When Lan Xinya got the news, Meng Heng had completely left the army. Moreover, you get a retirement fee after you get out of the army, not a job change. In Lan Xinya''s view, this is simply a stupid act of suicide! Because if you are retiring from the army and changing jobs, you can also arrange a staffing job at the local level. If you can retire from the army and get the retirement fee, it is equivalent to buying out. In the future, the army will no longer care about placement, and you will have to find a job yourself in the future. The reason why Meng Heng wants to get the retirement fee is because he doesn''t plan to go out to find a job in a short time. He has to take care of his son at home. When his son grows up and knows how to feel uncomfortable, he can seek help from others, so that he can feel a little relieved and go out to earn money to support his family. However, with Meng Heng¡¯s enlistment allowance and retirement pay for the previous ten years, it is enough for him to stay at home for several years. But Lan Xinya felt that a big man didn''t have a job, but took care of the children at home, it was useless! Originally, Lan Xinya thought that Meng Heng was good-looking and came from a good military family, and his identity as a soldier carried a halo. But now, Meng Heng, who has retired from the army, has no income from work and stays at home every day. It only takes half a month for Lan Xinya to see how Meng Heng is not pleasing to her eyes! On the day of Chinese New Year, Lan Xinya saw Meng Heng cleaning up the house and busy in the kitchen. Not only did she not feel that this man was considerate and capable, but she felt that he had done what her mother-in-law Liu Cui should do. . If a big man gets used to what women do, the man will basically be useless! Lan Xinya even thought, is it possible to support this man when she starts her own business in the future? This made her even more displeased and disgusted with Meng Heng, thinking that Meng Heng is a burden! ¡­ On the other side, on Chang''an Road, in Lanshu and Xiaobai''s mansion. During the Chinese New Year this year, Lan Shu originally planned to bring her adoptive parents and brothers back to Kyoto again. In Tianshui Village, the eldest brother¡¯s family had a son in the late summer and early autumn. Now the child is only half a year old, and it¡¯s inconvenient to go out for long distances. And Lan Shu is married, although Xiaobai doesn''t mind where to spend the New Year, but women in this era are married and follow their husbands, and they will go to their husbands'' home to visit their in-laws on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so Lan Shu is not special. Break this rule alone. Otherwise, when I take someone else¡¯s son thousands of miles away during the Chinese New Year, and think about it differently, if she is a parent-in-law, I will feel uncomfortable. On New Year''s Eve, Auntie Man, the nanny in charge of cleaning, went back to accompany her children and grandchildren on vacation. The nanny Lin Ting also had to take care of the family, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai took their daughter with them. In addition, the driver, Master Zhang, also returned to Qingyang County on vacation, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai decided to take the child back to Gu''s house. At home, Wei Qiushuang was overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law returning with their granddaughter. After taking Xiao Qingning from Lan Shu''s arms, the smile on Wei Qiushuang''s face never stopped. After this period of time, Gu Anguo also got over the matter of his elder son Gu Cheng being imprisoned. Although his son is now in prison, a father will always think about it, but it won''t make him so sad that he will be depressed all day long. At home, at noon and at night, Xiaobai would help in the kitchen. At first, Wei Qiushuang planned to stir-fry a few dishes, but in the end she found that her son and her husband cooperated very well, one prepared the dishes and the other stir-fried, and she didn''t need to do it at all. So Wei Qiushuang simply took a plate of melon seeds, went to sit on the sofa, chatted with his daughter-in-law, and teased his little granddaughter, living a leisurely and comfortable life. Compared to Meng Hengjin of the Meng family, Lan Xinya looked down upon him. The men of the Gu family cook, and none of the women in the family feel ashamed. On the contrary, I am very happy that the man in their family has this self-awareness. ¡­ It was also the Chinese New Year. In a prison in a second-tier city, Gu Cheng, who was imprisoned, had been in prison for almost half a year. In the past six months, he was bullied by the prickly head in the prison at the beginning, and he quickly took control of it. Gradually, he even had some followers around him¡ª The aura of the male protagonist is everywhere. He was shining in the mall before. If there was no "accident" of Lan Shu, which changed Gu Jue''s original life trajectory, Gu Cheng''s future would definitely be smooth sailing and he would be successful. Even if his business is temporarily interrupted now, in prison, the aura of the hero will still not dim. Lan Shu didn''t know that the development of the protagonist in this world, the original direction of the plot, had changed. The male protagonist no longer takes the route of success in his career and being sweet with the female protagonist, but changes his way to rise¡ª As for the situation of the heroine is getting worse and worse, it is far from the good life of the heroine before he went to prison, because the "protagonist halo" has always been on the heroine. The heroine is just an embellishment attached to the hero. Leaving the male lead, her halo will gradually disappear... (end of this chapter) Chapter 378: to renew Chapter 378 Renewal Years later, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce officially started the development of Shencheng! Lan Shu transferred five million to the special account of the chamber of commerce for the development of Shencheng, and then thought about one thing. Her business is very complicated now, and there are all walks of life. After more business, she will inevitably feel that there are too many things to do. Even though she has assigned people in charge to take care of each company and factory, sometimes there will still be situations where the affairs of several companies are piled up together, which makes her almost unable to concentrate on handling them. So after the new year, Lan Shu''s first thing is to integrate all her businesses, set up a Lan''s group in Kyoto, and hire professional managers to take care of herself. As for the candidates for professional managers, Lan Shu didn''t consider outsiders, but planned to promote from the heads of her own companies and factories. In this way, she can know the basics and be trustworthy, and there is no need to have a running-in period with strange subordinates. So it became a matter for Lan Shu to consider who should be appointed as the general manager. Knowing what his daughter-in-law thought, Xiaobai also raised his mouth¡ª "If the group merges, let''s also merge my electronic information company." For a long time, the main development and operation of the electronic information company has relied on his partner Xue Chuang. Although Xue Chuang is capable, as the company develops, his main energy is put on the operation of the company, and the research and development time is reduced to the minimum. Xue Chuang started from research and development, and he was reluctant to give up research and development. So before this, Xiaobai had heard Xue Chuang say several times, ''Since your wife is so good at doing business, will your wife worry about the company''s affairs in the future? '' Xiaobai loves his wife dearly and doesn''t want to burden her, so he never mentioned this matter to Lanshu. But now if Lan Shu wants to integrate her business into a group, wouldn''t it be natural for the couple''s business to merge together? Regarding Xiaobai''s proposal, Lan Shu nodded and agreed after meeting Xue Chuang and knowing Xue Chuang''s wishes. So the next step is to prepare for the establishment of the Lan Group. However, because Xiaobai''s new electronic information company joined in, the "Lan''s Group" originally envisioned by Lan Shu eventually became the "Lan Gu Group". The establishment of a group requires an office location. Before talking to the heads of various factories and companies about merging all the factories and companies into a group company, Lan Shu first selected and bought the land, and then asked the architect to draw out the design drawings to build a group building. Last year, Lan Shu¡¯s various companies and factory directors accumulated a lot of dividends. Even if she invested 5 million in the construction of Shencheng, she still has 1.8 million in her hand. In addition, since it is going to be merged into a group, the profits of Xiaobai''s electronic information company can naturally be used for the construction of the group building. So once the money from both sides is combined, we have the money to buy the land and build the group building~! As the chief architect of the Langu Group building, Zuo Guan is in a very excited mood! The group building is different from a residential area. If the building is well designed, it may become a landmark building in the future and become a representative of his design works! This made Zuo Guan feel that it was not wrong for him to be hired with a high salary when Miss Lan bought out his time. Now Ms. Lan has three pieces of land that will be built as a residential area. Now that a residential area has not been completed, a new construction project is coming again! Sure enough, as long as you work hard with Ms. Lan, there are plenty of job opportunities and design works! After taking over the design project of Langu Group Building, Zuo Guan still reminded, "Miss Lan, my exclusive design buyout time can be followed up..." Lan Shu thought for a while, then nodded, and asked the architect Zuo Guan for advice, "Then continue for another six months?" "One year is fine." Zuo Guan replied. "Or two or three years?" Zuo Guan was not sure how long Miss Lan would need his talent, but he hoped that this time limit could be extended. Lan Shu sees that Zuoguan does not reject working for him for a long time, so the relationship is good! So she immediately said, "Let''s extend it for three years first. I''ll ask the secretary to prepare the contract, and I can sign it when I go to the company next time." Zuo Guan heard about it and immediately agreed, "Okay, boss." Before he was called Miss Lan because he was only employed for a short time. Now, after three years of work, isn''t Ms. Lan her own boss? In the future, maybe he will work for Miss Lan longer¡ª ¡­ Half a month later, Kyoto. Peking University School of Medicine, Affiliated Hospital. It was time for Lan Xiuming to study here in Kyoto from Linjiang City Hospital. Lan Xiuming was not with his colleagues this time, he was the only one in Linjiang City to study. Fortunately, when he was studying in the Affiliated Hospital of Kyoto Medical College, he still had friends, so after he came to Kyoto, Dr. Shao Rui, who lives in Kyoto, got the news and came to pick up his friends in person. Xiaobai also picked up people at the same time. Lan Shu has some work matters today and needs to call the factory in Qingyang County. After the phone call, she still had to coax Xiao Qingning to sleep. So when the second brother came to the capital, it fell on Xiao Bai, the brother-in-law, to pick him up. Xiaobai drove the car and waited in front of the platform before the train arrived. After Lan Xiuming got out of the car, he saw his brother-in-law Xiaobai before he saw his friend. Not because of anything else, but Xiaobai''s height and appearance are too outstanding, even if he is placed in a crowd, he can still attract others'' attention at a glance. Lan Xiuming was about to walk towards his brother-in-law when he heard his friend''s voice from the side¡ª "Xiu Ming, I''m here." Lan Xiuming glanced sideways, only to see his friend beside him. Lan Xiuming: ¡­ In fact, Shao Rui is not bad-looking, he is in his mid-twenties, and he is a very energetic young man. But compared with Xiaobai, that...is not much comparable. At this time, Xiaobai also came to his second brother-in-law. "Brother Xiu Ming, I''ll pick you up." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze, looked at Lan Xiuming''s friend who was also here to pick him up, and smiled kindly, "If it''s convenient, let''s have a meal together at home." Shao Rui heard that the other party invited him, and saw his friend Lan Xiuming nodding. Anyway, he had met Lan Xiuming''s younger sister, so Shao Rui agreed. On the road, Xiaobai was driving the car, while Shao Rui and Lan Xiuming sat in the back seat. Knowing that Xiaobai is a student of Peking University School of Medicine, Shao Rui sighed, "What a coincidence~! Then according to this, you are still my junior~" Then he asked casually, "What''s your name, junior?" "Gu Jue." Xiaobai replied. Shao Rui:? ? ? "Who?!" Shao Rui was stunned, did he hear it wrong? The junior who looks young and looks outstanding in front of him is the Gu Jue he has heard about? ? ? (end of this chapter) Chapter 379: enjoy Chapter 379 Enjoy In Peking University School of Medicine, the name Gu Jue is well known. One skipped grades in less than a month after enrolling in school. He didn''t follow the regular courses at all, but directly joined the medical research team led by the school professor, and stayed with a group of graduate students, without delaying at all. After the research and development results of the team led by the professor came out, some graduate students and seniors actively invited him to join other teams. In the end, even the elementary school students led the team, and a group of postgraduate seniors and senior sisters around him assisted him to do research! The rumors about Gu Jue spread from Peking University School of Medicine to the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University School of Medicine. If it wasn¡¯t for that Gu Jue was still a student, didn¡¯t graduate, and majored in pharmacology, the leaders of the affiliated hospital would have wanted to poach him into the hospital! What is a medical genius, Shao Rui can say without hesitation, Gu Jue is a genius! Now, the famous genius student of Peking University School of Medicine is standing in front of him, how can Shao Rui not be surprised? ! So next in the car, Shao Rui began to talk to Lan Xiuming about how famous Gu Jue was. This made Lan Xiuming feel unbelievable. It turns out that his brother-in-law is so capable! ? At this time, Shao Rui didn''t know that what surprised him was still behind. The car drove to No. 36 Chang''an Road, and what came into my eyes was a garden-style residence with a spacious area of ??two to three thousand square meters! Even if other people¡¯s homes are large, they have at most dozens of square meters of yard. But here, the gorgeous and magnificent three-story house is built in the garden. At first glance, it makes people feel that living in this place must be very comfortable! The car drove into the yard, walked through the garden, and stopped in front of the three-story villa. "It''s here." Xiaobai said. Lan Xiuming knew that his younger sister had a house nearby before, and it was bought after his younger sister married Xiaobai. He is no stranger to this place because he has been here before. So he got out of the car with a natural expression, and was about to enter the door with his luggage. Behind him, Shao Rui, who got out of the car with him, widened his eyes! "Your little sister lives here?" Even if Shao Rui knew that Lan Xiuming''s younger sister was very capable and managed a toilet paper factory, he never thought that the young girl he had met once before would feel unrealistic in his life now! This kind of life is not the life of ordinary people! Lan Xiuming could probably guess what Shao Rui was thinking, so he nodded, "My little sister is a person who knows how to enjoy life." This is true, Lan Xiuming even thinks that the little girl''s character is something that the family has grown up with. In the past, when the younger sister was not married, her parents loved her, and the older brothers also cared about her. That''s why the younger sister paid more attention to the quality of life. That''s why the little girl is willing to spend a lot of money to buy such a big house with a good environment to live in. Shao Rui listened to Lan Xiuming''s words, indeed, this kind of life is to enjoy¡ª It¡¯s nice to have money~ The conditions of his family are actually pretty good, but compared to Lan Xiuming¡¯s little sister, it¡¯s really far behind~! However, after seeing such a mansion today, it can be regarded as leaving a goal in Shao Rui''s heart. In the future, if he has a wife, he will also buy a good house. Although it is definitely not as good as here, it cannot be too ordinary. ¡­ At home, Lan Shu was playing with toys in the living room with Xiao Qingning. Xiao Qingning, who is wearing a red Chinese-style embroidered New Year''s greeting dress, has two small hairpins on her head. Her complexion is pink and white, and her big eyes are cute no matter what she looks at. The clothes on Xiao Qingning''s body are children''s clothes newly released by the garment factory. In order to launch the children''s clothing category before the end of the year, the factory worked overtime to make the children''s clothing series of Yunshu clothing brand available at the end of the year. After a well-known clothing brand starts children''s clothing, the original stable customers will inevitably have children around them, so the sales of children''s clothing do not even need publicity, and they directly entered the hot selling period years ago. While designing clothes for her daughter, Lan Shu also added a new project to the garment factory, opening up another type of customer group. Outside the door, when Lan Xiuming came in, he saw his little sister sitting on the sofa wearing thick house clothes. Beside the little girl, a little girl like a doll is sitting on the special small table in front of her, playing with the building blocks in her hand. Seemingly hearing footsteps, Xiao Qingning looked in the direction of the door. Seeing a stranger coming to the house, she looked puzzled and fixed her eyes on Lan Xiuming and Shao Rui. Lan Xiuming met his niece once when Xiao Qingning was full moon, and it was almost a year in the blink of an eye. The little baby who was swaddled at the beginning has now grown into a cute milk doll. At this time, Xiaobai parked the car outside and walked into the house. When Xiao Qingning saw her father came back, she immediately lay down on the sofa, slid down the sofa, her feet landed on the ground, and walked quickly towards her father unsteadily, reaching out to hug her. Xiaobai has long been used to this common scene. He bent down, picked up his daughter in a natural motion, and then walked towards his wife in big strides. At noon this day, Shao Rui asked Lan Xiuming for his blessing, and Lan Shu had dinner at home. Auntie Man''s cooking skills are getting better and better, mainly because the long-term sufficient ingredients at home have given her the opportunity to practice cooking skills. Plus Lan Shu sometimes tells Aunt Man what to eat, and in the long run, Aunt Man''s cooking skills are no less than that of chefs in restaurants. Even in terms of the types of dishes, there are more dishes than chefs in restaurants know! Looking at a large table of delicious food on the dining table, Shao Rui felt even more that this is life~! After dinner, when everyone was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, Lan Xiuming said something. "Little sister, during the Chinese New Year, Xu Yunjie returned to the village..." Hearing this name suddenly, Lan Shu was slightly taken aback before realizing who Xu Yunjie was. In the past few years, because of her business, she has met too many people. Her daily life, work, and now taking care of her children occupy all her time. So Xu Yunjie, whom she met a long time ago, has long been forgotten by her. Lan Shu still remembered meeting Xu Yunjie once when she and Xiao Bai got married. At that time, Xu Yunjie was by Gu Cheng''s side, and it seemed that Gu Cheng valued him very much. Later, Gu Cheng was imprisoned. As for Xu Yunjie''s situation, Lan Shu didn''t inquire about it because she didn''t care. But now that the second brother mentioned it, it seems that Xu Yunjie''s return to the village is not easy? Sure enough, the next second, Lan Shu heard what Lan Xiuming said. "Xu Yunjie came back this time, it seems that his business has flourished outside. During the Chinese New Year, he was quite ostentatious in the village." "When he came back, he brought a woman with him. I saw her once, and she looked pretty good, so Xu Yunjie''s mother spread the word everywhere, saying that her son is capable and rich, comparing the current wife with the previous one... " (end of this chapter) Chapter 380: gossip news Chapter 380 Gossip News Xu Yunjie''s current daughter-in-law should be the woman that the eldest brother said was brought back to the village by Xu Yunjie. And the former daughter-in-law... is me! When Lan Shu heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, what the **** is Xu Yunjie doing? Then she heard the second brother continue to say¡ª "Although the woman Xu Yunjie brought back to the village is no match for you, my little sister, I can''t stand the discussion of the villagers." "Especially when you didn''t go back to the village during the Chinese New Year, Xu Yunjie''s mother made gossip behind your back, saying that you must have a bad life after you get married, and you won''t even go back for the New Year. Our parents are not less angry at home because of this, and the elder brother almost Rush to Xu''s house to deal with Xu Yunjie!" The reason why Lan Xiuming wanted to tell the younger sister these things was not to ask the younger sister to go home after the Chinese New Year, but because he wanted to say another thing. "Because Xu Yunjie''s mother''s behavior is too annoying, my parents decided not to go back to the village during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, they bought a house in Linjiang City, and my elder brother also has a home in Qingyang County, so if you go back to the village during the Chinese New Year, little sister , don¡¯t go back to the village, just go to Linjiang City to see your parents.¡± After listening to the second brother, Lan Shu nodded to show that she understood. But in her heart, she really felt that Xu Yunjie had a good life, and deliberately made fun of him? In the past, when she first came to this world, Xu Yunjie couldn''t please her at all, and now it''s even more impossible! The reason why she ignored Xu Yunjie for so long was because she was too lazy to pay attention to him, but if Xu Yunjie wanted to make her unhappy, she wouldn''t bear it either. Since she knew about it, there is absolutely no reason to pretend it never happened! Thinking of this, Lan Shu immediately called Haicheng, contacted Xu Qi, her cosmetics sales manager in Haicheng, and asked Xu Qi to find out about Xu Yunjie''s situation. Haicheng is so big, it is not easy to inquire about a person aimlessly. So Lan Shu also gave Xu Qi some information, asking her to focus on checking whether other people in the real estate company have changed after Gu Cheng''s real estate company closed down. Lan Xiuming listened to the younger sister''s phone call, and his tone seemed to be able to find out Xu Yunjie''s situation in Haicheng¡ª This made Lan Xiuming startled slightly! He suddenly felt that the little girl has really grown up~! It is no longer like before, completely needing the care of a family. The little girl now has a strong self-confidence! That kind of self-confidence makes people feel that as long as it is something his little sister wants to do, she will definitely be able to do it! Shao Rui on the side also saw this scene in his eyes. The little girl from the Lan family he met this time almost completely changed the image of the little girl from the Lan family in Shao Rui''s heart! Lan Xiuming¡¯s little girl is obviously a girl who looks delicate and beautiful, so how can she speak and act so domineeringly? Probably Shao Rui''s eyes have been staring at Lan Shu for a long time, and Xiao Bai''s face has darkened at some point¡ª So he said directly, "Senior Shao, I heard that you work in the affiliated hospital of our school. I don''t know which department you are from?" "I am a cardiac surgeon." Shao Rui replied. "Senior Shao is really amazing. Cardiac surgery is a place where you can practice your ability and skills, especially heart bypass surgery. The operation is not low." When Shao Rui heard Gu Jue''s words, he was slightly taken aback, and then felt guilty¡ª "Heart bypass surgery...I only watched it." Even watching heart bypass surgery is not an easy task! If it wasn''t because he was in the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University School of Medicine, he could be regarded as one of the more capable young doctors, otherwise he wouldn''t even have the opportunity to observe! Next, all Shao Rui''s attention was attracted by Xiaobai, a talented medical student, and he had no time to look at the little girl from the Lan family... Lan Xiuming could probably guess at the beginning that Xiaobai suddenly talked to Shao Rui, probably because Shao Rui stared at the little girl, which made Xiaobai unhappy. But later, gradually, he was also attracted by Xiaobai''s knowledge reserve and insights on cardiac surgery, which attracted all eyes. So this afternoon, the three big men had a heated chat. Lan Shu silently exited the topic from the sidelines... ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Xiuming left with his luggage, and Xiaobai drove him to the Affiliated Hospital of Peking University School of Medicine. Lan Xiuming''s study lasted for two months this time. Before he left, Lan Shu made a point of telling his second brother to come back for dinner if he had time off every week. The food in the hospital cafeteria is always not as delicious as the one at home. After eating the food cooked by Aunt Man, the nanny of the younger sister¡¯s house, Lan Xiuming said that he would definitely come back when he was free. Two days later, Xu Qi, the cosmetics sales manager in Haicheng, called Lan Shu back. Xu Qi has already asked her to find out what the boss told her before. "Xu Yunjie used to work for the boss of a real estate company. Later, the boss of that real estate company committed a crime and the company closed down. He took the opportunity to gather a group of workers from the real estate company, and then started this business." "He is a contractor here in Haicheng. He has workers number 50 or 60 under him, so he takes on a lot of jobs, but there are no big ones. Most of them are built by himself. I haven''t heard that he has won them. What a big construction project." Although Xu Qi is in the cosmetics business in Haicheng, she has accumulated a lot of contacts in the past two years. Among them is a man from a client who works in construction. Therefore, it is not difficult to check the situation of a real estate company that was once brilliant but then closed down. And speaking of the name Xu Yunjie, the news is more than that. "I heard that since Xu Yunjie got rich, he found a mistress outside to take care of him. His wife can''t control him at all, and doesn''t dare to control him, otherwise he will be beaten severely!" Women''s chat topics are always gossip, and when it comes to men''s lace news, Xu Qi is particularly enthusiastic. "There are also rumors that Xu Yunjie''s daughter-in-law once gave him a cuckold when he was not capable, so now that Xu Yunjie has gained power, he can clean up his wife vigorously!" "Xu Yunjie treats mistresses outside better than his wife. He often buys clothes, shoes, and cosmetics for mistresses, but his wife is disgraced." Hearing what Xu Qi said, Lan Shu was quite surprised. The woman that Xu Yunjie brought back to the village during the Chinese New Year, could it be the mistress? So she asked Xu Qi on the phone, "Do you know the name of Xu Yunjie''s wife?" "My name is Li Xiumei. I heard that she came to Haicheng from the same place as Xu Yunjie." Xu Qi replied. Li Xiumei... Of course Lan Shu knew who Li Xiumei was. Back then, it was because Xu Yunjie hooked up with Li Xiumei that he wanted to divorce the original owner of Lan Shu''s body. Xu Yunjie left Qingyang County Machinery Factory to work in Linjiang City Machinery Factory. I heard that he was also related to Li Xiumei''s family. (end of this chapter) Chapter 381: baby Chapter 381 Baby As far as Lan Shu knows, Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei have not been together all the time. Xu Yunjie ran away from Linjiang City because he owed money and was dismissed by the leader of Linjiang Machinery Factory¡ª At that time, Li Xiumei and her family went to Xu¡¯s house in Tianshui Village, arguing for someone to pay back the money. Even if Lan Shu didn''t inquire about the news, everyone in the village knew about the embarrassment of the Xu family. Every time Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village, she would hear someone mention it. Lan Shu never expected that Xu Yunjie, who was on the run, would get in touch with Li Xiumei again, and the two got married far away in Haicheng¡ª Now that the relationship between Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei has reached this point, it really fulfills the sentence, ''Poor people must have something to hate. '' If Li Xiumei hadn''t been with Xu Yunjie, she wouldn''t have been cheated of money, dumped, beaten, and watched the mistress enter the house. Her life was happier than her life, but there was nothing she could do to change all of this. Over the phone, Xu Qi¡¯s news is still going on¡ª "Boss, I also heard that Xu Yunjie''s mistress was with Xu Yunjie for money." "In order to get Xu Yunjie''s money, Xiaosan wanted Xu Yunjie to divorce and marry her more than once, but Xu Yunjie didn''t know why, and said nothing to divorce his wife!" When Lan Shu heard about it, she also thought about this question for a moment. In the news from Xu Qi, Xu Yunjie''s beating, scolding and harsh treatment to Li Xiumei must mean that he has no relationship with Li Xiumei, but he is unwilling to divorce... Could it be that Xu Yunjie tortured Li Xiumei wantonly just to tie Li Xiumei by his side? Lan Shu didn''t sympathize with Li Xiumei at all. But if she took care of Xu Yunjie, she would actually be helping Li Xiumei. Compared to Li Xiumei, Xu Yunjie is the most disgusting existence! So after Lan Shu finished the call, she immediately called Tianshui Village and told about Xu Yunjie bringing mistress home during the Chinese New Year¡ª Lan Shu didn''t contact her eldest brother, but directly called the village chief''s house. In this day and age, especially in villages, it is bad for a man to find a mistress! His mother Xu Yunjie was gossiping about herself in the village before, so let the Xu family experience the same thing now¡ª That is to say, the crime of bigamy has not yet been enacted, otherwise, in the case of Xu Yunjie, one report will be accurate! But even if the law cannot cure his crime, Lan Shu will not let Xu Yunjie go. When her real estate in Kyoto is completed and the funds are collected, the next step is to move her real estate business to Haicheng! When Xu Yunjie wants to develop his career in Haicheng, it depends on whether he has the ability! ¡­ At this time, Haicheng. Xu Qi had just finished the call with the boss, and not long after, she received another call to reveal the news. "Xu Qi, I just heard that the mistress raised by Xu Yunjie is pregnant! She went to the hospital for an examination a few days ago, and she was sure that she had a baby. Now the mistress proudly ran to Xu Yunjie''s wife to show off her power. Guess the two of them Will there be a fight?" The one who broke the news was Song Ju, a customer whom Xu Qi knew from selling cosmetics. Because Xu Qi asked Song Ju about Xu Yunjie a few days ago, the relationship between the two became much closer. Plus women seem to be born with a desire to gossip. Song Ju only knew Xu Yunjie because of Xu Qi''s relationship, and she got so much breaking news from Xu Yunjie''s gossip! After going back and forth, the relationship between her and Xu Qi became even closer, and they were already friends. When Xu Qi heard about this, she called the boss to report. Before her conversation with Song Ju ended, she heard Song Ju''s probing question, "Xu Qi, both you and that Xu Yunjie are named Xu, so he could be your brother?" "What are you talking about~! How could I have that kind of relative!" Xu Qi only felt unlucky that she had the same surname as a trash man. Song Ju laughed when she heard this, and stopped asking. Also, if that kind of man is really Xu Qi''s relative, how embarrassing~! After hanging up the phone, it didn''t take long for Lan Shu in Kyoto to learn about it. The mistress wanted to grab a man from her ex-wife by taking advantage of her pregnancy. Xu Yunjie was caught between the two women, and he was afraid that he would have no peace in the short term. It seems that before he frees up his hands to clean up Xu Yunjie, he won''t be going well. Seeing that Xu Yunjie was in trouble, Lan Shu''s mood immediately improved~! So she said to Xu Qi who was on the phone, "Okay, I understand. Keep paying attention to Xu Yunjie''s situation, and let me know if you have any news." "Good boss!" Xu Qi immediately agreed. ¡­ The bad things that Xu Yunjie and Xu''s family caused in the village were just a small episode in Lan Shu''s life, and they were quickly forgotten by her after they were dealt with. Lan Shu has more time and energy to prepare for her daughter''s birthday banquet the day after tomorrow. Xiao Qingning is about to celebrate her one-year-old birthday. On her birthday, Lan Shu has to ask about her daughter''s clothes, things to wear, guest banquets, and banquet specifications. Fortunately, Xiaobai took care of the guests'' banquets and banquets, and he also arranged the supplies for the week. The last thing Lan Shu has to do is to choose a set of beautiful clothes for her daughter. For this reason, the children''s clothing produced by Yunshu Clothing Factory is not enough to satisfy Lanshu. So Lan Shu chose a set of red Chinese-style gauze skirt cotton clothes, and then took the clothes to the wedding dress customization studio, and asked the female workers who specialize in high-end wedding dresses to add some beautifying details to the clothes, which met her requirements. So on the day of Xiao Qingning''s first birthday, the one-year-old milk doll was wearing a festive and gorgeous red winter gauze skirt, with two small thongs tied on her head, a red bow tie and a plush ball hairpin. Wearing a pair of small leather boots that were custom-made in Li Jiaojiao''s shop. Xiao Qingning has been practicing walking for more than ten months. At the beginning, she needed to be pulled by an adult, and she walked crookedly. After more than a month of exercise, she was able to walk independently a few days ago. Xiao Qingning, who just learned to walk, was in a particularly happy mood. She only let her father hold her for a while, and then she was about to run down by herself. The tiny little doll was walking unsteadily in front, so cute that it attracted the attention of everyone in the audience! Father and grandpa chased and protected Xiao Qingning in the back, as if afraid of Xiao Qingning falling down. Seeing that the man from the Gu family took care of the little girl so carefully, the guests who came to the granddaughter''s first birthday party of the Gu family suddenly changed their initial views on the little girl from the Gu family. Most people thought that now that the family planning has been implemented, it is not easy to have a second child. Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang will definitely not be very happy when they have a granddaughter. But looking at the situation now, how precious is this little granddaughter~! Some sharp-eyed guests also noticed, "The little granddaughter of the Gu family is wearing a pair of gold bracelets!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 382: healthy Chapter 382 Health "What''s a gold bracelet? Look at the emerald safety lock on the little girl''s neck. It''s the best quality, and it''s more valuable than a gold bracelet!" However, no one thought that the Gu family''s performance of being more precious to this little granddaughter was still to come. Before the first birthday banquet, Wei Qiushuang came to the stage and said a few words to thank the guests for coming, and then gave her granddaughter a rice bowl made of pure gold in public, expressing that her little granddaughter will not worry about food and drink for the rest of her life, and she will take care of it all! What Gu Anguo sent was a house in the compound. Although the size of this house is not comparable to the mansion where his son and daughter-in-law live now, but the location is in the compound, which cannot be bought with money! Wei Jin and Liu Qi also came to the stage, hugging their great-granddaughter, smiling from ear to ear, and then Liu Qi asked someone to come up with a large wooden carved box, which contained a set of twenty-eight pieces of gold jewelry. From earrings to necklaces to hairpins. The old lady has prepared all the dowry for her great-granddaughter when she gets married in the future¡ª This set of jewelry is not ordinary gold jewelry. After Liu Qi gave her great-granddaughter a full-moon gold bracelet with a purely hand-carved gold bracelet in ancient methods, she then invited the goldsmith to start making this set of jewelry. The goldsmith worked for half a year to complete this set of jewelry. Now every piece of jewelry in front of me is unique and exquisitely crafted, beautiful and dazzling. Next, we went to Weijin to give gifts. The old man listened to the recommendation of his old friend again, and this time the gift was still jadeite, a pair of high-quality jingle bracelets, and an emerald piglet engraved with the portrait of his great-granddaughter. Xiao Qingning saw the emerald green emerald piglet, and reached out to grab it if she liked it. If someone else owns such a valuable thing, you must handle it with care, for fear of bumping into it. But Mr. Wei Jin was not worried about things being damaged by children at all. He smiled kindly and stuffed the emerald brand into the baby''s hand. "As long as Xiao Qingning likes it, grandpa will give you a small card every year from now on~!" In such a scene, it is obvious that neither the Gu family nor the Wei family have patriarchal ideas. Their little girl is more precious than other boys'' dolls! This is just the favorite of the elders! Everyone knows very well that the little girl was born in Miss Lan''s womb, with Gu Jue as her father. Her start is beyond the reach of many people! Such a little girl, born cute and well-born, will definitely be famous in Kyoto when she grows up! At that time, I don¡¯t know what kind of boy is worthy of this little girl. For a while, some of the guests present even thought about whether they had juniors of the same age. Maybe in the future, when the little girl was picking a partner, she would be shortlisted? On this day, the first birthday party of the little granddaughter of the Gu family was bustling from beginning to end. ¡­ Also on this day, it was also the first birthday of the little grandson of the Meng family. Meng Dabao just came out of the hospital a few days ago. After Meng Heng and Liu Cui''s mother and son took good care of their children and grandchildren, Meng Dabao finally regained some vitality after being ill for a while. The one-year-old boy who had pale lips and looked listless a few days ago now looks a little more energetic. Meng Dabao is one year old. He was a healthy baby when he was born, but because of the serious illness of more than four months ago, his physical fitness was much worse than that of a one-year-old child of the same age. So Meng Dabao is still mostly held in the arms of the elders in the family, and when he walks on the ground occasionally, he still has to be supported by someone, and it is difficult for him to walk around independently. Seeing his son''s physical fitness, Meng Heng was not less worried. He originally thought that when his son was older, he would increase the amount of activity by himself, and help his son''s health through exercise, which would also enhance immunity. But my son can¡¯t even walk now, will he really be able to exercise in the future? Don''t be a little tired at that time, and your body will not be able to bear it, then it will be difficult! When Liu Cui saw the state of her little grandson, she was not as worried as her son Meng Heng. For Liu Cui, as long as her little grandson grows up safely, she is content. On the day of Meng Dabao''s first birthday, the Meng family did not hold a banquet outside. Liu Cui made a large table of meals, and the family sat together and had a meal in a harmonious atmosphere. Even Lan Xinya rarely ate from start to finish without saying a word, and didn''t say anything to spoil the fun, which made her family unhappy. But after dinner, Lan Xinya will be busy. She told the Meng family in an almost declarative tone, "Da Bao is already one year old, let''s wean him from today on." Lan Xinya has already made up her mind that when her son is weaned, she will go out to find a way to do business. In her opinion, making money is imminent! Hearing what Lan Xinya said, Liu Cui first showed a hesitant expression. Meng Heng''s father, Meng Xiang, paused, put down his chopsticks and looked at his son. Meng Heng frowned. He looked at Lan Xinya, discussing with Lan Xinya almost in a pleading tone. "Our son''s physical condition, it is better to wean later, no matter how we eat, it is not as nutritious as milk." This is true. Meng Heng also made a special trip to ask the doctor how to replenish his son''s body. Even the doctor said that children can be weaned later, and it doesn''t matter if they eat until they are two years old. So when Meng Heng heard that Lan Xinya wanted to wean his son, his first reaction was to disagree. After hearing what Meng Heng said, Lan Xinya became angry immediately! "You always think that milk is nutritious, have you ever thought about how difficult it is for me to breastfeed every day and night?" Breastfeeding is indeed a very troublesome thing. Liu Cui has experienced it, and she knows it. So Liu Cui usually let her daughter-in-law breastfeed her grandson, and the rest of the time she or her son is taking care of the children, leaving enough rest time for the daughter-in-law. In someone else¡¯s house, as a mother, I can¡¯t say that breastfeeding my own child is a difficult thing. But Lan Xinya just said it¡ª "I''m already one year old, how can I stop breastfeeding?" Lan Xinya frowned. "I can''t always be haunted by my children, can I? You have to understand me, I also want to go out to make money earlier, so that I can raise my children better!" What Lan Xinya said is also true. Although she looks down on Meng Heng and the Meng family now, she really has no bad intentions towards the child. Wanting to make money also wants to give my son a better life. But she only cares about creating a good life, but ignores what her son needs most now, which is a good body. Seeing Lan Xinya''s resolute attitude, Meng Heng might have agreed to do something else. But his son''s physical condition was a big rock in his heart. For his son''s health, he was able to not give an inch when facing Lan Xinya! "Xinya, you just feed the children at home, you don''t have to worry about making money." When Lan Xinya heard this, she immediately laughed~ "Meng Heng, how much money do you make a month? Can you say such a thing?" At this moment, Lan Xinya''s tone was full of sarcasm¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 383: unfit to be a mother Chapter 383 Not worthy of being a mother A man is stared at by his woman with such contemptuous eyes, and his tone is full of disdain for his incompetence. In the eyes of any man, this is a humiliation! What''s more, Meng Heng is not the kind of man who accomplish nothing. Although he does not have a prominent status or monstrous financial resources, in the army, he has always been an outstanding elite in all aspects! Even though he is now at home after being discharged from the army, Meng Heng has not lost his motivation to make progress. He returned home for his son, and when his son grew up and his health improved, he went out to find a job to support his family. Meng Heng never expected that after he gave up his career for his children, in Lan Xinya''s eyes, he would become a worthless wretch whom she disdains and despises! Facing Lan Xinya''s humiliation, Meng Heng''s face turned red with anger, but he told himself to be patient. He bears it not because he has a good temper and doesn''t get angry, but because his son can continue to have milk. He must treat Lan Xinya well! Besides, Meng''s father, Meng Xiang, heard his daughter-in-law say that about his son, and he immediately sullen. But before Meng Xiang could speak, his wife Liu Cui couldn''t help but speak. "Xinya, although our family is not rich and powerful, we don''t have to worry about food and clothing. Our family, Meng Heng, takes care of the family. Even if he is at home, he can afford to support the children and you." Liu Cui is also a mother, how can she watch her daughter-in-law talk about her son like that? Hearing her mother-in-law defending Meng Heng, Lan Xinya snorted softly, and did not continue the topic of whether Meng Heng is a wimp. But she is unwilling to let her stay at home and be trapped with her children. "I''ve decided to go out to earn money, as for breastfeeding Dabao..." Lan Xinya hesitated for a moment before continuing, "At most, I will feed the child in the morning and evening." At this moment, Lan Xinya made a concession. She didn''t care about Meng Heng''s persistence and Liu Cui''s expectations. In Lan Xinya''s heart, she still has the warmth that a mother should have towards her children. ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai took Xiao Qingning, who had just turned one year old, and finally started the tour around Kyoto that was delayed due to various things. On the other side, Lan Xinya went out after feeding the children in the morning. She first came to Huamei Mall to check the situation at her watch counter. At this time, inside the counter, the teller was sitting behind the counter, bored for hours. Since more than half of the watches in the counter were sold, and the remaining sparse watches were only placed on half of the counter, the watches were sold at the usual price, and it was basically impossible to sell them. So in the whole month of last month, only three watches were sold. The meager profit is not even enough for the teller''s salary. Because of this reason, Lan Xinya fired the teller as soon as she saw the monthly account and realized that she had to post money into it to do business. Then she stood in the watch counter for three days, clearing all the watches in the counter at a price lower than the market price¡ª In the process of her clearance, she only made five yuan for a watch at the beginning, and then she sold it when she could get back the capital. Some watch styles were even old models a year ago, so Lan Xinya had to pay a few dollars to sell the goods in order to raise funds. After all the watches in the counter were sold, Lan Xinya returned the watch counter to the shopping mall. After she did the math, she had a total of more than 16,000 yuan in her hand. With all this money, what kind of business would you do? Lan Xinya wandered around in the shopping mall, thinking about the direction of her future business. She found that the Walkman, tape, and CD counters had a good business, and there were always people around. The pager counter is also welcoming and sending customers to buy. In addition, the business of cosmetic counters and clothing counters can be used. Lan Xinya recalled that she used to be in the cosmetics business, and unless the cosmetics were priced lower than the market price to make money, there would not be many customers at the new counter. So after much deliberation, she plans to sell clothes. More than 10,000 yuan in her hand is enough for her to open a store and buy goods¡ª At this time, Lan Shu didn''t know that Lan Xinya had taken a fancy to the traffic in Yun Shu''s directly-operated clothing brand store, and planned to open a branded clothing store in Huamei Shopping Mall. Lan Xinya never expected that after she rented a store selling clothes and finally found a way to buy clothes, she was rejected by the regional sales manager of the clothing brand! As the person in charge of the Yunshu clothing brand in Kyoto and even the Southwest region, Yu Yuan''s main job is to develop and manage directly-operated stores. In his regional jurisdiction, any direct-sale store purchases must go through him. There is a new clothing store that wants to join their brand as a direct store, of course Yu Yuan welcomes it. ¡ª¡ª As for Lan Xinya, even if Yu Yuan met Lan Xinya twice at the dinner party of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, he didn''t recognize her immediately. It was Lan Xinya who reported her name, and Yu Yuan saw a faint shadow of Lan Xinya from the face of a woman with a round body and fat facial features squeezed together in front of her eyes. Yu Yuan knew Lan Xinya because he knew that Lan Xinya was the adopted daughter of his boss''s biological father. And this woman repeatedly did stupid things in front of his boss, embarrassing and embarrassing. The boss''s boredom with this woman can be seen by any outsider. So now, if this woman wants to be a direct store of their clothing brand, it is impossible for Yu Yuan to authorize her. Besides because this woman offended the boss, there is another reason. ¡ªThe direct-sale store of their clothing brand is not something anyone can do if they want to. Judging from the size of the direct-sale store, the store that Lan Xinya rented is not qualified. So Yu Yuan replied to Lan Xinya on the spot, "I''m sorry, after the review, your place has not met our store opening standards." After finishing speaking, Yu Yuan didn''t give Lan Xinya a chance, turned around and left¡ª And Lan Xinya never imagined before that that she had already rented out her frontage, but the clothing store couldn''t be opened at all? Finally, Lan Xinya had no choice but to find other clothing purchase channels because the brand directly-operated stores could not be opened. In order to get cheap goods, she took a long trip to Haicheng for a few days. Finally, the goods were brought back smoothly, but because she didn''t breastfeed for a few days, she returned the milk directly! Now, her son has nothing to eat, and he must be weaned if he doesn¡¯t want to¡ª For this reason, Liu Cui felt very distressed for her little grandson. Although she didn''t say anything, Liu Cui had already begun to complain in her heart that her daughter-in-law didn''t care about her children. Because of this incident, Meng Heng completely lost any affection for Lan Xinya! Meng Heng originally thought that Lan Xinya had two temperaments before and after marriage, which made him unable to like Lan Xinya anymore. Because of Lan Xinya, his son suffered a serious illness and had physical problems, which made him completely disappointed in Lan Xinya. It can be seen that Lan Xinya is the child''s mother, and Meng Heng will also treat Lan Xinya as a family member. But now, Lan Xinya, who deliberately weaned her son regardless of her son''s health, is a selfish woman in Meng Heng''s eyes! She doesn''t even deserve to be a mother! (end of this chapter) Chapter 384: good people can be deceived Chapter 384 Good people can be deceived On the first day of the official opening of Lan Xinya''s clothing store, after Lan Xinya returned home at night, not only did she not eat the hot meal that should have been prepared for her at home, but Meng Heng looked at her seriously and said, " Lan Xinya, let''s get a divorce." When Meng Heng said these words, his voice was deep. When Lan Xinya heard this, a disbelief appeared on her face! "Divorce?" She widened her eyes, wondering if Meng Heng was crazy? Now she has already started to do business, and in the future, she will make a lot of money, and if she becomes prosperous, the Meng family will also follow the "chicken and dog ascend to heaven". But Meng Heng didn''t know how to seize this opportunity, treat himself well, and wanted a divorce instead? Why? ! What qualifications and confidence does he have to get a divorce? ? Even if you divorce, you should bring it up yourself! So Lan Xinya looked at Meng Heng, sneered and said, "Do you think I will be afraid of divorce? Divorce, don''t regret it!" Of course Meng Heng will not regret it. He has full confidence in himself in this regard. Just about to answer the three words ''no regrets'', but the next second, Meng Heng heard Lan Xinya say¡ª "After the divorce, the son is mine." Lan Xinya felt that she gave birth to the child, so of course she would take her son away when she divorced. But when Meng Heng heard this, apart from being surprised that Lan Xinya didn''t ignore his son, the first thought in his mind was, ''You must not let your son be taken away! '' Lan Xinya is at home, even she has to be taken care of, how can she take care of her children? Besides, their son is not an ordinary child. Dabao is sick and has asthma. He doesn''t know when he will have an attack. How can Lan Xinya take good care of him? ! So Lan Xinya and Meng Heng began to negotiate on the issue of the son''s ownership, and both sides would not give up! Finally, Meng Heng''s father Meng Xiang and mother Liu Cui stood up and said a solution. "Xinya, you see that you still have to do business. You must be very busy and don''t have time to take care of the children. Dabao is our grandson. We will treat him well. You can rest assured." "If you miss your child, you can come back to see your child at any time. If you want to take your child to play for a few days in the future, we will definitely not stop you." Meng Xiang and Liu Cui first learned that their son was going to divorce his daughter-in-law. Although they were surprised, they did not dissuade them. They are very aware of their son''s character, as long as the son makes a decision, it must be well thought out. Although divorced people, regardless of gender, will be discussed and looked down upon by outsiders, they are willing to respect their son''s decision and will not care about other people''s opinions. At this time, the words of the old couple can be said to have given Lan Xinya the greatest freedom. Even if she divorced their son, as long as there is a child, the relationship between them and Lan Xinya will not be deadlocked. Meng Xiang and Liu Cui''s kind words made Lan Xinya hear her heart. Indeed, if she was in business, she would definitely not have free time to take care of her son. So it is the best way to put the son in the Meng family. But there are some things, she wants to make it clear! "Meng Heng and I can''t live anymore! And even if I put Dabao in your family, Dabao is still my son and doesn''t belong to your Meng family!" Lan Xinya said. Her tone immediately made Meng Heng angry! "What do you mean it doesn''t belong to our Meng family?" Meng Heng was angry in his heart. Why doesn''t his son belong to his family? ! Fortunately, Liu Cui is old and has experienced many things, and her temper is not as aggressive as that of young people. Liu Cui knew that when young couples quarreled, they had no reason at all. In order to prevent the son and daughter-in-law from fighting again about the child, Liu Cui immediately spoke in the middle to ease. "Xinya, don''t worry, even if you divorce our Meng Heng, you will always be Dabao''s mother. Dabao will definitely not belong to our Meng family alone, he is also your son." The phrase ''does not belong exclusively'' is not only telling Lan Xinya to rest assured, but also emphasizing that the ownership of the little grandson is not Lan Xinya alone. Lan Xinya could hear what Liu Cui meant, although she was not happy that her son''s ownership was not entirely her own. But thinking that the Meng family could help her take care of her son when she was busy, Lan Xinya didn''t say anything more. ¡­ Lan Xinya and Meng Heng went through the formalities for divorce the next day after they made a decision. Getting the divorce certificate, Lan Xinya didn''t feel sad at all. And Meng Heng also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the invisible ''shackles'' on his body seemed to be instantly removed. There is no family property to be divided in the divorce of the two. Lan Xinya felt that she was richer than Meng Heng, so it was fine for Meng Heng not to share her money. But Meng Heng gave Lan Xinya 1,000 yuan after the divorce, treating it as a wedding for them to get together and break up. After giving the money, there will be no relationship between him and Lan Xinya. Lan Xinya accepted the thousand dollars without any hesitation. Actually, if you want to talk about the Meng family¡¯s money, she also received a gift money of 1,000 yuan from the Meng family at the beginning, and these don¡¯t have to be refunded after she divorces. After receiving the money, Lan Xinya should have left the Meng family. But because she has to look at the store every day, she has no time to find a house to rent, so Lan Xinya still lives in Meng''s house for the time being, but she doesn''t live in the same room as Meng Heng. Recently, Meng Heng has been sleeping on the sofa in the living room on the first floor every day. Lan Xinya didn''t say leave, and the Meng family didn''t throw people out. Both Liu Cui and Meng Xiang are kind and upright, and they said before that even though Lan Xinya and their son divorced, they are still the mother of their grandson. After living in Meng''s house for half a month, Lan Xinya seemed to finally realize that this is no longer her home. So she went to look for a house nearby after the mall closed at night. Seeing that Lan Xinya had the idea of ??leaving, Meng Heng also helped in this matter. Soon, Meng Heng found a few houses and asked Lan Xinya to go and see if they felt suitable. Seeing Meng Heng actively asked herself to move out, Lan Xinya sneered, "Are you trying to drive me out of your house?" Meng Heng was kind enough to help, but got Lan Xinya''s words. He frowned. But Meng Heng really felt in his heart that he and Lan Xinya had already divorced, so there was no need to live under the same roof. If Lan Xinya could move out, that would of course be a good result. Meng Heng''s language barrier made Lan Xinya very upset! So she stopped looking at the house, and stopped talking about moving out from Meng''s house. She continued to live in Meng''s house, in the room where she and Meng Heng got married. Lan Xinya, who is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, lives in the Meng family with a dishonorable name. Even Meng Heng and his wife''s divorce, the Meng family did not dare to speak out. Otherwise, outsiders will only gossip about their family, and even criticize Lan Xinya. Liu Cui and Meng Xiang have been good people all their lives. They feel that even though Lan Xinya is no longer their daughter-in-law, they can''t do things too badly and let people criticize Lan Xinya behind her back. (end of this chapter) Chapter 385: sell a house Chapter 385 Selling a House People are kind and bullied, the kindness of the old couple Liu Cui and Meng Xiang made Lan Xinya continue to live in Meng''s house unscrupulously. Meng Heng saw Lan Xinya coming in and out of his house every day, and his mood was getting worse every day. The only happy person is the innocent Meng Dabao. Although Lan Xinya didn''t have much time to take care of Meng Dabao, she had fed Meng Dabao for a year after all, and the child''s intimacy with his mother was unstoppable. Meng Dabao feels very happy when he sees his mother every day. Seeing his son like this, Meng Heng''s bad mood gradually faded away. Besides taking care of his son, he became preoccupied... ¡­ In May, the weather turns warmer. In the Yunshu Garment Factory in Qingyang County, they began to step up the schedule to customize summer clothes. In the directly-operated clothing stores of the Yunshu brand in the southern region, thin short-sleeved and flowing long skirts have become the main types of sales. In the northern regions, windbreakers and long sleeves will soon be removed, and cool summer clothes will be replaced. In the past few days, Lan Shu has integrated the company and factories, and notified the plan to form a group to the garment factory and toilet paper factory. The chain fried chicken factories within Linjiang City also received news. As for the cosmetics company, wedding dress customization studio, and film and television company in Kyoto, the leaders heard about the boss''s plan as early as a week ago. After that, Lan Shu called together the main core personnel of several companies, held a meeting, informed the benefits of grouping, and won everyone''s support. So the temporary office of the "Lan Gu Group" will be established in Kyoto soon! The reason why it is called a temporary office is because the land where the company built the building was bought by Lan Shu not long ago, and the architectural drawings are still in Zuoguan''s hands and the design has not yet been completed. It will take at least a year before the building is completed! So before this, Lan Shu could only rent the entire floor of a small shopping mall as a place for the group''s staff to work. The group is divided into multiple departments, each department has a department manager as the person in charge, and above the department, there is a general manager. The candidate for this position has not yet been decided in Lan Shu''s mind. After thinking about it, she decided to conduct a round of investigation¡ª Liu Axing was born in Qingyang County, and was originally just an ordinary girl in the county. A few years ago, Liu Axing followed Lan Shu when she first opened a small clothing workshop. Later, because of Liu Axing''s lively mind and ability to endure hardships, Lan Shu was promoted from a sewing girl to a purchasing and delivery worker in a clothing workshop, and was also a person who assisted her in the management of the clothing workshop. Later, the clothing workshop developed into a clothing factory, and Liu Axing grew up from managing the workshop to becoming the deputy director of the clothing factory under the supervision of Lan Shu. Lan Shu knows that Liu Axing is very self-motivated. After she heard that Liu Axing became the deputy director of the factory, she enrolled in night school in order to improve her ability. During the day, Liu Axing manages all aspects of the garment factory in the factory, and goes to night school at night. After more than a year, Liu Axing successfully obtained a diploma in her studies. So it was Lan Shu''s decision to include her as one of the group''s general manager candidates after careful consideration. Besides Liu Axing, Yu Yuan, as the regional manager of the garment factory, has unquestionable interpersonal and communication skills. Yu Yuan is seven or eight years older than Liu Axing, and he is more stable when facing various things. Lan Shu knew that before Yu Yuan opened a clothing store, he graduated from university and was assigned to a factory worker. After the reform and opening up, business was allowed, and Yu Yuan immediately came out of the factory to start a clothing business. His courage and vision are what Lan Shu values. Lan Shu''s summary of Yu Yuan is that Yu Yuan is a person who can do great things! Therefore, Yu Yuan is also listed as the general manager of the group¡ª In addition to the two, Yanjuan who manages the cosmetics company is also a talent. It''s just that Yanjuan''s ability is more suitable for career struggle. Moreover, what Yanjuan is good at is mostly in the direction of women''s products, and her ability in other aspects is not comprehensive enough. So Lan Shu didn''t consider Yanjuan as the candidate for the general manager. ¡­ Throughout the month of May, Lan Shu''s various companies and factories have undergone a number of personnel transfers. Liu Axing came to Kyoto. After getting acquainted with the department and understanding of the work, she usually runs between Kyoto and Qingyang County. When Yu Yuan slowly accepted the new job content under Lan Shu''s arrangement, he did not let go of his work as a regional manager. Yu Yuan is a very thorough person, he knows what he wants, and he knows how to grasp it. The boss intends to entrust himself with a heavy responsibility, he can see it. But before officially accepting the important task, no matter the ''sesame'' or ''watermelon'' in his own hands, he will not let go of it easily. ¡­ A few days later, June 6th. Lanshu''s high-end residential area developed by a real estate company in Kyoto has begun to be sold. The construction of this real estate started in early May last year, and it took a full year and one month until now, and finally reached the delivery standard. During the year, when the real estate was under construction, it was actually publicized to the outside world. The publicity includes newspapers, and advertising leaflets. There are no loans, installments, or down payments for houses today, so they are all sold after completion. On the day the house opened for sale, early in the morning, the sales department was full of people. The color-printed leaflet issued by the sales department before clearly shows the appearance of the buildings, green environment, pavilions, running water, sports equipment, children''s play area and other supporting facilities in the high-end residential area. In addition, the area and internal structure of several room types are also marked. Such a residential environment is rare in Kyoto today. So people who want to buy a house and want to improve their housing environment and live in a better house will mostly be attracted by the pictures and house information on the leaflets. In addition, the salesperson who handed out the leaflets said that the number of houses is limited, and if you want to choose a more desirable floor, you must attend the house opening ceremony on time. When the potential customers who need to buy a house come and see so many people coming to buy a house, under the competition, even if some potential customers have not decided whether to buy a house before today, but they seem to not buy a house today. , under the situation that you can no longer buy it, buying a house has become a rush for everyone¡ª¡ª So on the first day that Lanshu''s real estate company opened for sale, the number of customers who paid the deposit for the purchase of the house on that day exceeded the total number of houses in the residential area by more than 50%! There are still more customers left because the number of the day is too late, and the sales staff is too busy to handle the house purchase business on the day, so they can only come back tomorrow. According to the customer purchase needs of various sales statistics, it will not be long before all the houses in this real estate will be sold out! So Lan Shu bought three pieces of land in Kyoto before, and the second piece of land will start construction soon¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 386: cheap Chapter 386 Cheap On the other side, Lan Xinya''s clothing store on the third floor of Huamei Shopping Mall in Kyoto has been open for more than two months. This is a storefront of about 20 square meters. The three walls of the store are covered with clothes, and there are three rows of long hangers against the wall. At first glance, the clothes are hung densely. Besides that, Lan Xinya didn''t even miss the position on the door! She pulled the rope, and a few clothes were hung above the store door as a display. Compared to the clean environment and clear clothing display of Yunshu Clothing Brand Direct Store, Lan Xinya''s store is too small to display, so she chose to focus on the quantity of clothes. The customers who come to her store basically do it themselves, looking for clothes that suit them on the three rows of hangers against the wall. Although Lan Xinya has some vision and knows how to match clothes to look good, but when the customers see her ugly appearance covered in fat, they think she doesn''t know how to dress up, and they can''t believe her vision. What created Lan Xinya''s image was that the customers who came to the mall subconsciously felt that the clothes in her store were all cheap! Because the clothes in her store are considered to be cheap, the people who enter the store to choose styles to buy clothes are either young girls who have just started working and have little money in their hands. Either she is a middle-aged woman who is older, who has gone through the waste of daily necessities, is careful about budgeting, is very good at living, and wants to keep the price to the lowest when buying clothes. As long as girls with a little more money will not enter her shop¡ª In this way, if the clothes in her store want to sell, it is necessary to go through a lot of bargaining with customers. Even if the clothes are sold in the end, the profit is meager. Sometimes she even sells a piece of clothing for a dollar! Every piece of clothing in Lan Xinya''s store is personally selected, purchased, packed, and shipped back to Haicheng by herself. The little money she earns now is not even enough for her hard work selling goods back and forth! After two months, although Lan Xinya''s shop sold a lot of clothes, but in terms of making money, she really didn''t make much. Excluding the store rental fee, she earns an average of more than 100 yuan a month... Although the money was more than what she earned working in the factory, it was hard money! In two months, Lan Xinya had been puffy in the Meng family for two years, but because of her hard work, she looked thinner. But being so thin doesn¡¯t make her look any better~ On the contrary, her original puffiness has changed to make her look much stronger now! Plus she is always showing her face outside, morning and night, the wind comes and goes, and she is in a hurry to sell goods every day, which makes her skin rougher a lot. Besides, she is not like she was taken care of every day when she was in Meng''s house, living a leisurely and open-mouthed life. Since she opened a clothing store, she has greatly reduced her rest time! Such a result caused her scalp to secrete excess oil, so Lan Xinya waited every day for a big oily head and rough yellow skin, she didn''t look like a young girl in her early twenties at all. Said she was a middle-aged woman in her 30s and 40s, no one doubted her! Lan Xinya like this has no image at all¡ª Even Lan Xinya didn''t expect that she used to love beauty and dress up, but now she is so ugly from head to toe that she couldn''t help sighing. ¡­ Meng''s family, since the weather got warmer, the number of times Meng Dabao got sick has also greatly decreased. In addition, Meng Heng and Liu Cui, mother and son, took good care of the children. In the past few months, Meng Dabao finally did not suffer from serious illnesses. At most, I have occasional coughs and colds, and I will be fine in a few days after taking some medicine. When he was one year and three months old, Meng Dabao finally learned to walk. Although he walks much later than other children, whether it is Meng Heng or Liu Cui, it doesn''t matter. As their sons/grandsons grow up, their physical fitness will gradually catch up¡ª Children who are one year and three months old already know how to call them parents. But no matter how Meng Dabao was taught by his family, he just smiled "hehe~" and didn''t open his mouth. Occasionally, vague syllables came out of his mouth, but it was not a specific name. It wasn''t until Meng Dabao was one year and five months old that he called out, "Baba!" ¡­ Although the weather in August is not the hottest time of the year, the high temperature is generally over 30 degrees. The heat wave in the air makes it difficult to go out. Meng Heng held a cattail fan at home, and chased after his son to fan him. Meng Dabao, who has just learned to walk, is particularly interested in walking. Plus he is a boy, with a mischievous and troublesome temperament in his nature, so Meng Dabao just opens his eyes every day and walks around the room¡ª¡ª Fortunately, Meng Heng is full of energy and his physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary people, so he can stay behind his son and take care of him all the time, and he can also use his hands to fan his son and cool him down. Even so, Meng Heng felt that he could be exhausted by his son every day! It is really not easy to take care of a child. He feels tired even as a big man, even more tired than he used to train in the army. Whenever this happens, Meng Heng always thinks in his heart that it is good for him to leave the army and be able to take care of the children at home. Otherwise, with Lan Xinya''s patience and temper, how could she take good care of her son? Even if his mother is taking care of the children most of the time, she can¡¯t keep her eyes on her for a moment. After all, she has to cook, wash clothes, and do housework. At this time, someone needs to keep an eye on it. Meng Heng cannot guarantee that Lan Xinya will take good care of her son at this time. So it is better for him to come and bring it by himself, so that it is safer and more at ease. ¡­ In a blink of an eye, it is autumn, the heat is gone, and the weather is getting cooler. During the day of national celebration in early October, Meng Heng took his son out to play while the weather was cool. In Kyoto, whether it is the central area or the suburbs of Beijing, there are many scenic spots to see and are worth seeing. Considering that the main purpose is to make the children happy, Meng Heng decided to play at the zoo. Kyoto¡¯s zoo is definitely the largest and most diverse zoo in the country in this day and age! Meng Dabao saw all kinds of animals, his eyes were full of excitement and curiosity. While Meng Dabao was watching the monkey swing, a sweet and soft little girl''s voice sounded near him¡ª "Dad, the monkey paper swing is so high and boring!" "Ma Ma~ I want to raise a monkey paper¡ª" "No, Xiao Qingning, monkeys cannot be kept at home." Lan Shu told her daughter seriously. Hearing the name ''Xiao Qingning'', Meng Heng subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice¡ª In the next second, Meng Heng saw Gu Jue, his wife, and their daughter watching monkeys in the zoo. (end of this chapter) Chapter 387: slow Chapter 387 Slow Meng Heng knew that Gu Jue''s daughter and his own son were born on the same day. He looked at the little girl who was held in Gu Jue''s arms and was braided with a red bow. This child was raised white and tender, looks very cute, and has perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents'' looks. No matter where she is, passers-by can''t help but look at her. Meng Heng never imagined that when his eldest son could only occasionally call "Daddy" indistinctly, the little girl who was born on the same day as his son could already speak so many words fluently in one sentence! The one-and-a-half-year-old girl spoke with clear logic, and after her mother said ''monkeys cannot be kept at home'', the little girl nodded with disappointment in her eyes and said, "You can''t raise monkey paper, you can raise other small animals What?" "What kind of animal does Xiao Qingning want to raise?" Lan Shu asked. Xiao Qingning: "Little Mimi, Xiao Wangwang? Little Baa!" "Baby, little baa baa is no longer a domestic animal~" Gu Jue said. Listening to the conversation of a family of three not far away, Meng Heng frowned. It wasn''t because he was unhappy seeing Gu Jue and his wife, but because he saw other children who were as old as his son with his own eyes, so he could express his thoughts. In comparison, isn''t his son too slow? At this moment, Meng Heng suddenly remembered that his son was hospitalized with allergies and high fever. Before he was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that the child''s high fever for a long time may have a certain impact on the nervous system. So in the current situation, could it be that his son''s retardation is not really retarded, but... a problem with his brain? For a while, Meng Heng was no longer in the mood to continue playing with his son. He just wants to take his son to the hospital quickly and see a doctor! In Meng Heng''s arms, Meng Dabao, who was watching the monkey swinging on the swing, suddenly found that ''Baba'' was holding him and turned away. Meng Dabao couldn''t see what he wanted to see, and cried "Wow~!" The child''s loud cry quickly attracted the attention of other people around. Lanshu and Xiaobai couldn''t help but look in the direction of Meng Heng and Meng Dabao. Xiaobai knew Meng Heng, because of memory problems, now Xiaobai didn''t know Meng Heng in the army, but knew that Meng Heng was Lan Xinya''s marriage partner. So the child in Meng Heng''s arms is his son with Lan Xinya, right? It was the first time for Xiaobai to see the children of the Meng family. To his surprise, Meng Heng took the children out alone, and there was no sign of Lan Xinya around. Aside, Meng Heng saw the child crying, and immediately softened his tone to comfort him. But Meng Dabao is not easy to talk to. Once he starts crying, it will be endless and difficult to coax! In Xiaobai''s arms, Xiao Ningqing saw such a noisy child of the same age for the first time. This scene made her eyes widen in disbelief, "How can this child be so noisy?" Xiao Qingning, who is a child herself, said this sentence in the tone of a little adult, which is really funny. But at this time, listening to the crying of the child, no one could laugh. At this moment, Meng Dabao seemed to sense that the little girl who was not far away, who was about his age, disliked him. Meng Dabao, who was crying "Wow~" suddenly stopped crying¡ª "Ah, ah?" Meng Dabao seldom went out because of poor health, so he didn''t meet many children of the same age. I have never seen such a beautiful and cute little girl as Xiao Qingning! For a moment, Meng Dabao''s attention was completely attracted by the beautiful Xiao Qingning, so much so that he forgot to continue crying. "Ah, ah!" Because he was very interested in Xiao Qingning, Meng Dabao stretched out his hand in Xiao Qingning''s direction, babbling. Seeing that Lan Xinya and Meng Heng''s children have not yet learned to speak, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai are a little surprised. Xiao Qingning looked at Meng Dabao with strange eyes, "Are you only good at ah?" Speaking, she turned to look at her parents again, and asked her mother, "Is this kid much younger than me, so he can''t talk? But he doesn''t look much shorter than me, mom?" Lan Shu knew that her daughter spoke early, but a one-and-a-half-year-old child probably shouldn''t only be able to babble. Even if you can''t speak long sentences, you can still pop out one or two words. Lan Xinya''s son seems to be a bit slow in language skills. On the opposite side, Meng Heng saw that Gu Jue''s daughter could speak so well, and he was even more suspicious that his son had a high fever and burned his brain. So taking advantage of his son''s temporary cessation of crying, he immediately turned around, quickly took his son away, and went to the hospital¡ª During this day of national celebration, other people happily eat, drink, and play around, but Meng Heng is worried. In the hospital, Meng Heng watched the doctor conduct a series of tests on his son''s eyes, ears, nose, height, body and limbs, and finally came up with a result. "Although this child''s body has been seriously ill before, but he has taken care of it well afterwards. Except for some root causes of the disease, it does not have much impact on normal life." "The limbs are well developed, the height is up to the standard, the ears and hearing are no problem, and the tongue is normal, which will not affect the speech. It''s just that when I tested the sensitivity of his eyes to move left and right, he found that his reaction was indeed a little slow." The doctor said, and wrote this situation on the case registration form, then looked at the child''s father, Meng Heng, and continued. "Whether the child''s brain was burnt out at the beginning, I can''t fully judge now. We have to wait until he grows up to see the situation." After finishing speaking, the doctor just prescribed some vitamins suitable for children, and asked Meng Heng to give them to the children on time, hoping that the vitamins could help the children''s body and brain develop better. As for whether these vitamins have a significant effect on the development of the brain, the doctor can only say that it is better than not eating. No family wants their child to be a fool, and the doctor has already confirmed through the examination just now that the child should not be very smart. As for whether it is stupid or just a little slow, the doctor is not sure, so he can only walk and watch. In the afternoon, Meng Heng walked out of the hospital with his son in his arms and went home. The originally happy day''s play schedule only made him feel tired and even shocked! At this moment, Meng Heng, who grew up in the army and has always been an atheist, even had the urge to pray to heaven. He only wants his son to be healthy, no matter whether it is physical or mental, there will be no problems... The news that his son might be a fool, Meng Heng didn''t tell anyone, including his parents, and Lan Xinya. From that day on, Meng Heng became more concerned about his son and spent a long time every day trying to teach his son to speak. Finally, after half a month, Meng Dabao learned to say other things besides ''Baba''. "Eat, eat, eat." became Meng Dabao''s most common words. (end of this chapter) Chapter 388: amazing Chapter 388 Amazing Three months later, the temperature dropped and it was already winter. This year, the snow in Kyoto fell earlier than in previous years. Just in January, the first snow in this city covered the whole city in white. There are still two months before the Chinese New Year, and the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is held half a month earlier than in previous years. President Li still sent an invitation letter to Lan Shu and Xiao Bai this time. Because of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce¡¯s investment in Shencheng last year, the couple invested the most money. It has been a year, and President Li, as the general manager of the investment project, should also report to the members of the chamber of commerce about the investment progress of the past year. The year-end meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is still held in the conference hall upstairs of the Kyoto Hotel. At two o''clock in the afternoon, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived on time to participate. During the meeting, President Li sat in the chief position and spent an hour talking about the changes made by the 30 million yuan to the entire Shencheng last year. Now that Shenzhen City has been initially built, the next step is to attract investment and follow-up development and further construction. It has been a year, and the members of the chamber of commerce have not seen any return on the money invested by the members of the chamber of commerce. This makes many members feel disappointed, and even think that their money may be wasted? For a while, many people looked at Lan Shu and Gu Jue¡ª The two invested the most money, a total of 10 million! Now that there is no benefit, what should the two react? Contrary to everyone''s expectations, Lan Shu''s eyes were calm, and Xiao Bai''s expression was also normal. Even after listening to Chairman Li mentioning that Shencheng needs further construction, Lan Shu directly asked, "How much crowdfunding investment do you need this time?" President Li''s purpose of meeting today does have this meaning. He originally thought that talking about this topic would require a long foreshadowing. But he didn''t expect that Miss Lan would cut to the point and ask the key. President Li:¡­ He was silent for a moment, his eyes swept across the audience, and after observing the expressions on the faces of all the participants, he sighed and replied, "This time, we need more than 30 million... 50 million cap." Participating members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce:¡­ At this moment, many people have complicated expressions, and they don''t even know how Chairman Li has the nerve to say such words? Last year''s 30 million crowdfunding has cost them a lot! But one year has passed, it¡¯s fine if there is no profit, and now President Li even asks them to invest money! And this time, one vote is 30 to 50 million! Even if they **** all the blood from them, they still can¡¯t raise 50 million! ? But in the next second, everyone heard Miss Lan''s voice¡ª "Then our Langu Group will spend 20 million this time." Lan Shu''s light tone of a sentence, at this time, can shake everyone''s hearts more than any deafening sound! Before she said this, she had discussed it with Xiao Bai beside her. After their various companies and factories are integrated into a group, the funds will be pooled and circulated with each other. In this way, the group will have more liquidity! Based on her and Xiaobai''s one-year dividends, the 10 million yuan they got is definitely there, and the remaining 10 million yuan will be filled with the group''s working capital. When Shencheng develops, it can be regarded as creating some additional benefits for the small shareholders of the company. Hearing what Lan Shu said, President Li stared blankly in surprise, opened his mouth in disbelief, and it took him a long time to say something¡ª "Twenty million, are you sure?" "Of course!" Lan Shu said seriously. If it wasn¡¯t for them to be able to come up with these now, no matter how many more they will affect the normal development and operation of the group, otherwise if she has money, she will definitely spend more money to invest in projects in Shencheng! Hearing Lan Shu''s words, all the members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce at the scene couldn''t understand. They were first surprised by Miss Lan and Young Master Gu''s strong funds, and then they invested so much money, they couldn''t all be in vain, right? The couple voted last year, plus this year¡¯s vote, it¡¯s a total of 30 million~! So the Shencheng project really has potential? So later, with the mentality of giving it a try, some people reported the investment amount of 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 to 50,000. It is completely different from the situation last year when everyone excitedly reported hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of reports! Even Lan Weicheng was a little more cautious. Last year, he invested 500,000 yuan, but this year he only invested 200,000 yuan. After hearing the investment amount reported by her biological father, Lan Shu glanced in Lan Weicheng''s direction. In fact, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but the courage to do business will affect the speed of making money in the future. From this point, it can be seen that Lan Weicheng has a entrepreneurial nature, and in his heart, a small fortune is easy, and he does not have the ambition to make a lot of money. At this time, Lan Shu suddenly thought of Gu Cheng. As the hero of the novel, Gu Cheng, in the entrepreneurial plot of the hero in the book, several times he invested all his wealth, and finally made a lot of money. The kind of person who has ability and ambition can lead to success. Of course, in Lan Shu''s view, the reason why Gu Cheng in the novel can finally succeed is actually more because of the aura of the hero. As the male protagonist, his future success is destined¡ª ¡­ On the afternoon of the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, hundreds of members raised a total of more than 34 million yuan through reporting, which will be used for the next investment in the construction of Shenzhen City. Apart from the 20 million invested by Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, the ones who invested the most were Lu Wei and Qian Qing, who came here on behalf of the Walkman Factory and the VCD Factory. In terms of the amount of investment, they reported 5 million ! This result was discussed by the two of them, and it can be said that it is the old book! The investment of 2 million last year, 5 million this year, and 7 million made Lu Wei and Qian Qing the members with the most investment after Lan Shu and Xiao Bai. It was the same sentence last year, Qian Qing believed in Miss Lan''s intuition, and had been secretly waiting for Miss Lan to lead them to "pick up money for nothing". That''s why there is such an amazing investment. Because of the support of Lan Shu, his wife, Lu Wei, and Qian Qing brothers, President Li''s fundraising plan did not come to an ugly end. The meeting was successfully concluded, and in the evening, the dinner for members of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce continued¡ª ¡­ At this time, in a prison in a third- and fourth-tier city. It is dark and humid here, and the air is filled with a smell of sweat and rust all the year round. The sanitation of the prison has not been rectified, because there is little sunlight and the humidity is relatively heavy. Even though Gu Cheng has been here for a year and a half, his feet are still swollen and itchy eczema develops all over his body from time to time due to the humid environment. The life in the prison is difficult. The difficulty here is not being locked up, but the prisoners have to get up early every day and go to work repeatedly. Folding matchboxes, packing matches, and cigarettes are things that Gu Cheng often does. Here, the prisoners have no human rights. In addition to losing their freedom, they are also tools for work. (end of this chapter) Chapter 389: biggest winner Chapter 389 The Biggest Winner There are still eight and a half years left before Gu Cheng''s ten-year sentence. Now Gu Cheng is about to turn 30, and his 30th birthday is destined to be spent in prison. And for many years to come, he will stay here. Thinking that he will be nearly forty years old when he is released from prison after serving his sentence, Gu Cheng feels that his life is coming to an end! So while making work tools repeatedly every day, Gu Cheng has been thinking, can he go out early? One and a half years of prison life gave him a good understanding of the situation in the prison. I heard from other inmates who stayed for a long time that if the work is serious and the work is fast and good, there will be a chance of a reduced sentence. However, such a commutation of sentence will be half a year at most, and it will be impossible for it to be longer. As for other ways to reduce sentences, such as examinations, and inventions¡ª Nowadays, the country is thirsty for talents. If you can take the exam or invent useful things that benefit the country and the people to prove your ability, you will have the opportunity to reduce your sentence or even get out of prison early! Knowing this, Gu Cheng spent money and trusted connections to get in touch with the outside world, and successfully ''buy'' a few talents to help him invent and create outside. And he was also reading and taking exams in prison. Before he went to prison, Gu Cheng saved a lot of money. Back then, almost all the houses he developed in Haicheng were sold, and the millions of dollars allowed him to have enough financial resources to buy other people''s research results. Money can turn ghosts, let alone ordinary people who cannibalize fireworks, live in the world, and need money everywhere? Although most people have integrity, they will not be fooled by money. But there are still quite a few talents who value money. So within half a year, Gu Cheng successfully reduced his sentence by two years with a patent for an invention. And if he waits another year for the exam, he is also expected to pass the exam and continue to reduce his sentence. In addition, outside the prison, there are more than a dozen talents from various industries working hard to invent. In the future, a steady stream of patents for inventions and creations will be provided for him to help him get out of prison as soon as possible¡ª ¡­ On the other side, Haicheng. Since Xu Yunjie became a contractor, he has made more and more money. In the eyes of Xu Yunjie''s mother in Tianshui Village, her son has become a success and has become more and more capable, which made Xu''s mother proud for a while. But it didn''t take long for Mrs. Xu''s proud son to bring his mistress home during the Chinese New Year, which became a topic of discussion in every household in the village. Mrs. Xu felt that her face was dull. Even the four married daughters of the Xu family were rejected by their mothers-in-law and men, and life became more and more difficult. Mother Xu couldn''t bear the days of being pointed out in the village, so she had a heartbreak and asked her daughter to take her to Haicheng to join her son. Big Sister Xu has always been looked down upon in her husband¡¯s family. At the beginning when her younger brother Xu Yunjie borrowed money from her, the fact that she gave money to his younger brother behind her husband¡¯s back made her man hate her, and from then on he hit her or scolded her! Even her son was taught by her in-laws that she was a prodigal, always trying to supplement her mother''s family, and one day she would evacuate her in-law''s house. So the son refused to kiss her, and even prevented her from taking all the money from the family. Sister Xu has suffered a lot in the past few years at her husband''s house. When she heard that her mother was going to find her younger brother, Sister Xu said without hesitation that she would send her mother there. In fact, Sister Xu thought that when she went to Haicheng, she would not come back. Asking my younger brother to find her a job in Haicheng is better than being bullied in the village. Mother and daughter hit it off, and took the train to Haicheng relying on the filial money Xu Yunjie gave during the Chinese New Year. Then he inquired many ways in Haicheng, and finally found Xu Yunjie''s location. Seeing that the old lady and the eldest sister came together, Xu Yunjie naturally wanted to entertain them. He arranged a guest house for the two of them, but Mrs. Xu didn''t want to, saying that her son wasted money and insisted on staying at home. So Xu Yunjie had no choice but to take his old lady and eldest sister home and throw them to Li Xiumei, who let Li Xiumei serve his family. It was also at this time that Mrs. Xu saw the daughter-in-law who had obtained a certificate from her son according to the rumors in the village! Although two or three years have passed, Mrs. Xu quickly recognized that her son''s daughter-in-law was not the woman who ran from the city to their village to ask for the bill, saying that her son had cheated money? At that time, Li Xiumei wanted to get money from Xu''s family, but she made a lot of trouble in Xu''s house, forcing Mrs. Xu to lie on the ground and cry loudly. She was ashamed in the village! Now that the enemy met, she was extremely jealous. Mrs. Xu never thought that her son and Li Xiumei, a shrew, got a license! ? So Mrs. Xu and Li Xiumei, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were not at odds from the moment they met. Xu Yunjie brought his old lady and eldest sister home to live, he was simply making trouble for Li Xiumei! But even if Li Xiumei doesn''t want to serve Mrs. Xu, she must. As soon as Xu Yunjie got angry, he taught her a lesson. She was already scared of being beaten. Secondly, Li Xiumei also wanted to use Mrs. Xu to suppress Xu Yunjie''s mistress outside. So Li Xiumei worked hard to serve Mrs. Xu, stretched out her clothes that Mrs. Xu raised, and opened her mouth for food, and her face gradually became fleshy. But when Mrs. Xu knew that the woman outside her son had given birth to her grandson, Mrs. Xu immediately put aside Li Xiumei and stood by Xiaosan. In Mrs. Xu''s opinion, nothing is as important as her grandson. Li Xiumei''s service for several months is nothing! And Sister Xu, who came to Haicheng with Mrs. Xu, also stayed in Haicheng as she wished. Xu Yunjie arranged for the elder sister to cook for the workers on the construction site. Ms. Xu is not as thoughtful and calculating as Mrs. Xu. She is honest, hardworking, and quickly secured the job. Here in Haicheng, Xu Yunjie''s original triangular relationship in marriage has become even more chaotic with the addition of Mrs. Xu! Only Sister Xu is down-to-earth, changing her life¡ª ¡­ Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and it has been the fifth year for Lan Shu to come to this world. In 1985, people''s lives have changed a lot compared to Lan Shu''s first year! The development of the economy has made the former group of people rich first. And this group of people who got rich led the people behind to achieve a preliminary life of poverty alleviation. The Kyoto Chamber of Commerce invested more than 60 million yuan in Shencheng two years ago, and now it has seen results. Since last year, Shenzhen City has attracted investment and developed rapidly. Factories and office buildings shifted the country''s economy toward the deep city. The members of the Chamber of Commerce who invested in Shencheng at the beginning saw unlimited business opportunities in the current development of Shencheng! At this time, everyone thought that Miss Lan and her husband would invest 10 million in the first year, and 20 million in the second year... Miss Lan''s long-term vision is indeed not something they can keep up with! And the rapid economic development of Shenzhen City in the future... Langu Group, which was officially established not long ago, will be the biggest winner! (end of this chapter) Chapter 390: move place Chapter 390 Moving Kyoto, Xiangle Walkman Factory, Walkmans have been sold to the outside world for almost four years now. The sales of good products have lasted for a long time, and Walkmans are still selling well on the counters of various shopping malls. More and more young people buy Walkmans. From the beginning, Walkmans were used as a device for playing music tapes. Now, after Lanshu repositions the brand, it has become the coolest representative in the hearts of young people! With the economic ability of most young people, they can''t buy things that are too big, and the price of a walkman worth tens of dollars is just right. The role of the Walkman is very popular among young people, allowing them to listen to tapes anytime, anywhere without being restricted by time and place. In addition to listening to music, the Walkman has another important use¡ª Some high school students and college students can use the Walkman to listen to English tapes and learn spoken English along with them. So the audience of Walkmans is not only young people, but also a large number of middle-aged customers who buy Walkmans for their children. As more and more people use Walkmans, the Walkman factory also released matching headphones. In this way, whether everyone listens to music or English, they can keep each other from disturbing each other, and the factory can also benefit more. Imagine, wearing headphones, listening to music on the road, convenient, eye-catching, and the envy of those who don''t have a Walkman. Therefore, having a Walkman has become the standard equipment for most young people to pursue fashion and trends! ¡­ Today is the day when Lu Wei goes to the factory to conduct a random inspection of the Walkman. Although Lu Wei''s focus is now on the VCD factory and the CD factory, he also visits the Walkman factory every month to ensure that the quality of the products sold in the factory is no problem. Come with Lu Wei, and Qian Qing. Qian Qing has now been completely transferred from research and development, and as the manager of several factories, that is, the general manager, is responsible for the sales of the products in the factory. Not long ago, Qian Qing also learned a lot about the development of Shencheng. Before today, he had told Lu Wei several times that they would immediately be like Miss Lan back then, waiting to collect money~! After all, he and Lu Wei invested a total of 7 million yuan, which is not a small amount. Although it is not as exaggerated as Miss Lan and her family''s 30 million, they are also the second largest shareholder of Shencheng Investment in Kyoto Chamber of Commerce! In the Walkman factory workshop, Qian Qing smiled cheerfully. While Lu Wei randomly checked the quality of the Walkman, Qian Qing couldn''t help but wandered and said, "I don''t know what Miss Lan will vote for next time? I think we can continue to vote!" Hearing this, Lu Wei stopped dismantling the Walkman. He looked up at Qian Qing, and said lightly, "That''s for the future, now, work." Although Qian Qing no longer cares about research and development, he is here today. Wouldn¡¯t it be a waste if he didn¡¯t make the best use of his technology? As for what Qian Qing said, he will continue to invest with Miss Lan next time. Although Lu Wei doesn''t express his opinion, he still agrees in his heart. Miss Lan does seem to have an innate sensitivity to doing business! In the past few years, the development of the Walkman factory, CD factory and VCD factory, although Ms. Lan''s focus is not on this area, but whenever it is critical, Ms. Lan will put forward important suggestions to let them know how the factory should move forward in the next step. develop. That''s why their factory can become the number one existence in the industry¡ª As Qian Qing kept repeating recently, there is nothing wrong with following Miss Lan. As for Miss Lan, does she have any investment plans for the next step? Lu Wei also wants to know... ¡­ At this time, Lan Shu, whom Lu Wei thought of, was sitting in the chairman''s office on the top floor of the Langu Group building. Her recent job is to make phone calls and read contracts. Under the supervision of the architect Zuo Guan, the Group Building was finally completed after one year! The Group Building is a 22-story building with a wide bottom and narrow top, like a tower. Under the spire on the top floor, there is a beautiful and dreamy hanging garden. This building is definitely one of the few tall buildings in Kyoto in this era. Even if it is not as tall as the 50-story tallest building in Shanghai, it can definitely rank among the top ten in China! Being able to build such a high-rise building is simply showing the highest level of Zuoguan Architects! It is also thanks to the 12-storey residences built by Lanshu in the development of high-end residential areas, Zuo Guan has accumulated a lot of experience in building high-rise buildings, so the current success is possible. The high-rise building was completed, and after several months of renovations, finally, after the new year, the employees of Langu Group successfully moved into their own unit building from the original rented temporary office! In the building, apart from the employees of various factories and companies under Lan Shu''s management, the film and television company directly moved in! The twenty-two-story building has enough space for the development of film and television companies. In addition to some equipment rooms and photography rooms, there are even some sets for filming sitcoms! As for actors, there are lounges, rehearsal rooms, fitness rooms, and dance rooms. The entire film and television company, including external publicity, internal work, and camera sets, occupies a total of three floors. In a building of more than 2,000 square meters, the third floor can definitely be called spacious! In addition to the film and television company, half of the cosmetics company has entered the building. In the process of making essential oil soap, there is a step that is more suitable for ventilation outside, so make-up and skin care products are all in the building. As for the essential oil soap, from the size of the courtyard house before, it has expanded to the villa in the suburbs of Beijing, and it has completely become the production and storage place of essential oil soap. Companies also stationed in the building include start-up electronic information companies. Except that the factory that produced pagers and mobile phones did not move in, hundreds of pager customer service specialists and mobile phone customer service employees filled the two floors of the building! Because the building is tall enough and the interior space is large enough, even if all the clerical employees in the companies and factories related to Lanshu and Xiaobai move in, they only occupy half of the 22nd floor¡ª For the remaining half, Lan Shu considered the companies of Lu Wei and Qian Qing, and extended invitations to them. She called Qian Qing, "Do you need an office building? My own, internal rental price~!" Qian Qing, who has just been working in the walkman factory all morning:¡­ "I have my own people, and I still need to collect rent?" Qian Qing is very smart when it comes to money~ "Miss Lan, do the math yourself, Walkman factory, VCD factory, CD factory, which factory does not have your shares? Especially the CD factory, it is basically yours!" Lan Shu thinks so, yes~ Anyway, there are still many vacant buildings, so she waved her big hand and said generously, "Then find a time to move here~ I''ll keep the eleventh floor for you." (end of this chapter) Chapter 391: exhausted Chapter 391 Physical and mental exhaustion At the end of March, at the end of February in the lunar calendar, half a month after Langu Group officially settled in the group building, two major events happened. One is the second high-end residential area developed by the real estate company under Lan Shu''s group, which has begun to sell houses. The third piece of land is about to start construction. One more thing, Xiao Qingning''s third birthday is coming¡ª The third birthday is different from the one-year-old. On Xiao Qingning''s birthday, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai took their daughter to the playground and the zoo. In the evening, I took the child back to Gu''s house and had dinner at the grandparents'' house. Three-year-old Xiao Qingning can already speak anything, and can express her thoughts to others fluently. Children are born with innocence, and sometimes they speak in an adult''s tone, and it is easy to make the crowd in front of them laugh. On her birthday, she lit the candles, and Xiao Qingning made a wish. "I want to grow up quickly, I want to learn to play the piano and dance." Three-year-old children already have the idea of ??learning things. And this kind of thinking and cognition is because Xiao Qingning once followed her mother to a film and television company, and she saw the actors in the company dancing in the dance studio, accompanied by other actors playing the piano. As for her daughter''s request, Lan Shu will of course fulfill it for her. It¡¯s just that the child is too young, it¡¯s best to learn to dance after the age of four. while playing the piano... Xiao Qingning is small and her fingers are too short to play. Even the trumpet piano for children is a little too big for a three-year-old. However, Lan Shu finally fulfilled her daughter''s wish. For her daughter, she found someone to customize a piano that was smaller than a trumpet piano for her daughter to use. It took three months to order this piano, even if it was rushed! Because all parts are purely handmade, even if the piano is small, the custom-made cost is not low, and it costs more than 20,000 yuan. In today''s age, this is worth the wages of an ordinary worker for twenty or thirty years! It can definitely be regarded as a sky-high price! The piano teacher was also a professional piano teacher recommended by Lan Shu. After inviting the teacher, Lan Shu still explained to the teacher that she didn''t ask her daughter to play the piano well. Now that the child is young, she just wants to cultivate her interest. She doesn''t care about the tuition fees of thousands of yuan a year. In the end, the child may not learn anything, and it doesn''t matter. Lan Shu knows that in general, teachers will let children practice hard in order to let children learn results so that they can show their parents and prove their teaching ability and value. That is not good for children''s physical and mental health. It is very likely that children who originally liked to play the piano will eventually become negative about learning to play the piano because they are too tired and too hard. That''s why Lan Shu deliberately made such an explanation. And her thoughts made the piano teacher very incomprehensible! Spending money to learn to play the piano, it doesn¡¯t matter if you learn to play the piano or not? ? The piano teacher thinks, maybe this is the way rich people dote on their children? As for teaching, she will hand in everything that should be handed in, but in terms of learning, with the special explanation from the parents of the children, she will not be too strict~ Xiao Qingning, who is more than three years old, officially started piano lessons. On the other side, Meng Dabao, who is also more than three years old, was confirmed by Meng Heng that the child''s slowness was due to high fever and allergies for more than four months when he was admitted to the hospital, and his brain was burned out in those few days. A three-year-old child from someone else¡¯s family should be able to speak a lot even if his voice is delayed. But his son''s usual language ability is only shown in repeated words of two or three consecutive words, and he rarely speaks four words. Most of the time, the son''s language is expressed by pointing, um, yah. Since the child was two and a half years old and could not speak a few words, the two elders of the Meng family, Meng Xiang and Liu Cui, wondered if their grandson was not smart? At that time, Meng Heng could still use the excuse of the child talking late, so that parents should not worry. But now, Meng Dabao is three years old and three months old. With this speaking ability, it is too far-fetched to use the reason of speaking late! So Meng Xiang and Liu Cui learned from their sons that their grandsons were not as smart as ordinary people. Even if Meng Heng''s words were very tactful, the second child could tell that their grandson was a fool! ¡ª Liu Cui couldn''t bear such a blow, so sad that she wiped her tears and cried for several days. Meng Xiang also sighed deeply. He has always stayed away from tobacco, so he couldn''t help smoking. After the two came out of this unacceptable mentality, Liu Cui and Meng Xiang decided to care more about and love their grandson. This child already has irreversible defects, so they can only treat him doubly well, so that the child can live a good life as much as possible. Lan Xinya was the last thing the Meng family knew that her son was a fool! Over the past year, Lan Xinya has been busy with business, and most of her energy has been put on her career, and she rarely has time to pay attention to her son''s situation. Every morning before her son woke up, she went out to the clothing store, and when she came back at night, she was so tired that she went upstairs to sleep after eating. So even if she lives in Meng''s house, it can be seen that her son doesn''t have much time. Now that she knew her son suffered a serious illness while filming a paint commercial, Lan Xinya felt regretful! Thinking that her son is stupid, she paid more attention to him. But at the same time, it also made her more eager for money! She needs to earn more money to support her son, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future! Lan Xinya used to be the daughter of the Lan family, and she could get one or two hundred pocket money from her family every month, so she didn''t think it was too difficult to earn money. Since she left Lan''s house and started to work on her own, especially since she started selling clothes by herself, Lan Xinya realized that making money is not easy, and there is a contrast between effort and return. Although she opened a clothing store, with the accumulation of old customers, now she can earn two to three hundred yuan a month. But she found that doing business is more tiring than working in a factory! It''s not just that she goes back and forth between Haicheng and Kyoto to buy goods from time to time, as well as standing in the store to entertain customers every day. These bring her only physical fatigue. And she settles accounts every day, and thinking about how to make money, the mental tiredness makes her feel more tired than the physical tiredness¡ª¡ª Now her son is stupid, and he will need more money to support him in the future, which puts even more pressure on Lan Xinya! As a mother, she cares about her son, but her concern is mainly reflected in the supply of money. In Lan Xinya''s view, if you have money and live a good life, you will have happiness. So after briefly caring for her son, Lan Xinya focused on making money again... Meng Heng didn''t say anything when he saw Lan Xinya''s reaction. What kind of person is Lan Xinya? Over the past few years, he has completely seen through it! He and Lan Xinya had already divorced, and what happened to Lan Xinya had nothing to do with him. As long as he raises his son well, other things are not important. (end of this chapter) Chapter 392: Its a steal! Chapter 392 is simply a steal! In the summer of 1986, the temperature was much higher than in previous years. This year, the drought was severe everywhere. People living in cities may not feel much, but in some rural areas, large areas of crops have died of drought! ¡ª Tianshui Village, Qingyang County is located in the Central Plains, and it is also one of the places where the drought occurred. This year, in order to keep the crops in the field, the whole village sweated every day, carrying water from the river to irrigate the field. But gradually, the water level of the river dropped, and the river bed was gradually exposed. The children in the village were so happy when they saw this, they went to fish in the knee-high water every day. The adults in the village were all frowning, and the village head even sighed sadly every day. In the end, the water in the river dried up, and most of the crops in the village were lost¡ª On the mountain behind the village, Lan Dazhuang hired people to carry water to the orchard every day to irrigate the fields. Fortunately, fruit trees are more drought-tolerant than crops, and the hotter the weather, the more sunshine time, the sweeter the fruit. This year, in the entire Tianshui Village, except for the orchard planted by the Lan family in the back mountain, everyone in the village is worried about whether they will be able to eat next year. As time passed day by day, the fruits in the orchard were ripe, and cartloads of fruits were picked from the mountain, and some of them were sent to the fruit processing factory built under the mountain to be made into cans and jams. The other part is sent to the city, wholesaled to fruit vendors, and sold to various counties in Linjiang City. Lan''s happy life is the envy of everyone in the village! Under such a strong contrast, some people in the village began to lobby the village chief out of jealousy and hatred, trying to get the village chief to speak up, so that the Lan family could no longer contract the back mountain! And planting orchards and raising chickens in the back of the village should be in the interest of everyone in the village¡ª The village chief had such thoughts about some villagers at the beginning, saying that the other party was unreasonable. Later, as more and more crops in the village dried up and died, the village head gradually changed his mind. But his idea was not to take back the back mountain contracted by the Lan family, but to let the Lan family share some of the benefits from the back mountain with the whole village, so that no one in the village would complain. On this day, Lan Dazhuang had been busy all day, and was about to go home to take a shower, and then drive a tractor to the county town to meet his wife and son, but saw the village chief squatting at the door of his house, obviously waiting for a long time. Lan Dazhuang is honest and has a good personality, so he immediately invites the village head to sit at home. But when he learned of the intention of the village chief, Lan Dazhuang''s originally honest face suddenly sank¡ª "Village chief, our brothers and sisters contracted the back mountain a few years ago. Whether it is an orchard or a free-range chicken farm, it is our brothers and sisters'' investment and persistent maintenance over the years. .¡± "Now that the village is experiencing a severe drought, we are asked to take out our own things and distribute them to others? There is no such reason in the world!" Lan Dazhuang rejected the village chief''s request. Actually, before coming here, the village chief didn''t have much hope for the conditions he proposed. But when he made these demands, he subconsciously felt that he had spoken. This was also the opinion of everyone in the village. Even if the Lan family suffered a loss, the wishes of the masses were greater than those of individuals~! After he clearly heard Lan Dazhuang''s refusal, the village chief suddenly became angry! "Lan Dazhuang! You must have a conscience! Ask yourself, how do I treat your family? In the past few years, when did your brother and sister contact each other on my phone? Now that the village is in trouble, don''t you even want to help?" Hearing what the village chief said, Lan Dazhuang was also annoyed. "That''s right, I didn''t have a phone at home before, so I used your phone many times, but every time we used it, it wasn''t in vain! Either on the same day or the next day, we would bring eggs or even bacon to supplement it." .¡± "Since the harvest in my orchard two years ago, every year the fruit is ripe, I have brought the fruit to your home in a basket, and I haven''t asked you for a penny." "At that time, our family had already installed a telephone, and we never used yours again. Therefore, the help you have given to our family, village chief, has already been repaid by our family!" "And now, what you call asking our family to help the village is to ask our family to take out the ''money'' in our pockets and distribute it to everyone in the village? This is so unreasonable! It''s no different from Ming robbery!" Although Lan Dazhuang looks honest and honest, he is not stupid, he is even a smart person. He thinks clearly and makes sense when encountering things. The village head always thought that the second and third children of the Lan family studied well, and the daughter of the Lan family was smart and good at doing business, so Lan Dazhuang was a simple and honest person. But now he knows that the brothers and sisters of the Lan family are all human beings~! After Lan Dazhuang bluntly stated his plan, the village chief suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It can be imagined that he came today not because of personal interests, but because of the livelihood of the whole village, so the village head felt that even if he had a thick skin, he still wanted to ask the Lan family to help the village. After all, among all the people in their village, the Lan family has the best life, and the children of the Lan family are the most capable. If the Lan family doesn''t help, who else can they turn to to help the villagers through this disaster year? "Lan Dazhuang, you can''t say that! The back mountain contracted by your family originally belonged to the village. Now that the villagers are in trouble, can you just watch and do nothing?" The words of the village chief sounded a little more relaxed, but in Lan Dazhuang''s view, it still meant the same thing as the previous "bright grab". Who wouldn''t know how to say a few soft words? A few words can make him give away the family''s ''money'' to others for free. Do you think he is stupid? In front of the village chief, Lan Dazhuang rolled his eyes fiercely! "Village Chief, you also said that our brothers and sisters contracted the back mountain, and we paid the contract fee on time every year!" "People in the village are in trouble. It''s caused by the drought. No one thinks about it in a disaster year. As for me watching, you are wrong!" "Half of the workers my family recruits in the orchard, fruit factory, free-range chicken farm, and frozen semi-finished fried chicken processing factory in the back mountain are from our village!" "Our family has provided these villagers with job opportunities, so that they can earn money every month. This is still watching, and it is not helpful to the village?" The village head never knew that Lan Dazhuang was so eloquent! Yes, the orchard and chicken farm of the Lan family, as well as the two factories opened later, did bring job opportunities to some people in the village. But not every household has such an opportunity, and there are still many villagers who may not be able to survive this year''s severe drought! When next year they have no food, no food to eat, as the village head, do you want to watch them starve to death? So the current mentality of the village chief is that the Lan family can help everyone tide over the difficulties, but they refuse to help! (end of this chapter) Chapter 393: Something ungrateful? Chapter 393 Something ungrateful? The village head is the head of the village after all, and he has some power in his hands. Seeing that Lan Dazhuang disobeyed his arrangement and didn''t care about the life and death of other people in the village, the village head was so angry that he finally wanted to exercise his power! "Lan Dazhuang! Your brother and sister contracted the back mountain of our village! If you really want to go your own way and don''t think about the villagers, then your brother and sister won''t be allowed to contract the back mountain!" The village head knew that what he said was equivalent to cutting off the Lan family brothers and sisters'' money. He didn''t believe that Lan Dazhuang was still so persistent! Lan Dazhuang did not expect that the village head of their village, the village leader in front of him who had a good relationship with his father at the beginning, could say such shameless words! At this moment, he finally understood what it means to not be judged by appearances! In the past, the image of the village head in the village was respectable. But now, **** the respect! Lan Dazhuang was also angry! Straight back to the past- "Village Chief, we signed a 15-year contract for the contracting of Houshan! If you don''t perform the contract privately, our brothers and sisters will go to court with you!" Lan Dazhuang is not afraid either, he believes in the justice of the law and will seek justice for their brothers and sisters! On the opposite side, the village chief stared angrily when he heard this. "Lan Dazhuang! Even your father dare not tell me that!" But Lan Dazhuang didn''t care, "My father is my father, and I am me." Being bullied, can''t you resist, but allow yourself to be bullied? He has an attitude of fearing neither the sky nor the earth, "Whatever you do, you must follow the king''s law. Anyway, I have a clear conscience." Speaking of this, Lan Dazhuang looked at the village chief who he had invited to sit at home ten minutes ago, and now he even wanted to drive him away. At this time, he heard the village chief say again, "Fifteen years will come to an end! If you don''t help with the village''s affairs this time, when the time limit expires, you won''t be able to contract the back mountain again!" The words of the village chief are threatening. He also felt that what he said would definitely make Lan Dazhuang worry and fear, and change his selfish thoughts. But Lan Dazhuang is not scared! It was only at this time that he realized that when the contract was signed, the younger sister added a sentence to the contract in front of the village head, ''If the land contract expires and needs to be renewed, the brothers and sisters of the Lan family have the first priority in renewing the contract. '' That is to say, after the 15-year contract for the back mountain expires, the village can contract the back mountain to others only if the Lan family gives up the contract renewal. So the village chief''s threat is useless at all! Maybe it has been several years, and the village chief has forgotten about it. So at this time, Lan Dazhuang mentioned it with ''good intentions'' to help the village head recall and recall. He smiled, and there was some irony on his seemingly honest face. "Village Chief, you haven''t read the contract for so long, have you forgotten that our brothers and sisters of the Lan family have the first priority to renew the contract?" "Don''t worry, the contract expires in fifteen years, and we will continue to continue the contract, so whether we can contract the back mountain is not up to you. We always have to follow the contract, right?" Lan Dazhuang''s light-sounding words really angered the village chief! The village chief stared at him, and for a moment he even felt that he couldn''t breathe! He clutched his chest that was heaving violently, and said loudly, "Wow! I didn''t expect the son of your Lan family to be so heartless! He didn''t care about the relationship between neighbors in the village at all! I think everyone in our village worked together. They all eat big pots of rice!" After the village chief finished speaking, he didn''t want to continue to entangle with Lan Dazhuang, "You guys have no conscience, I''ll talk to your father!" The village head felt that, given the decades of relationship between him and Lan Shengli when they were young, Lan Shengli would definitely not be as selfish as his son Lan Dazhuang! When the time comes, Lao Tzu will take care of his son. Doesn¡¯t Lan Dazhuang want to listen to his father? But the village chief was wrong, Lan Dazhuang didn''t accept this at all. "Village chief, go slowly, by the way, I forgot to tell you, the contracting of the back mountain, the construction of orchards and free-range chicken farms, and the two other factories opened by our family later, these have nothing to do with my parents, they are completely our brothers and sisters Four partners pooled their money to create an industry, so it''s useless for you to find my parents." Lan Dazhuang told the truth, and even warned the village chief in advance. But the village chief didn''t think so. In his view, the rules passed down by the ancestors for hundreds of years, the son must obey the father! He didn''t believe that Lan Shengli would ignore this matter. I also don''t believe that Lan Dazhuang brothers and sisters really don''t listen to their father? But the village chief really didn''t think at this moment that although the Lan family has always doted on their daughter, it doesn''t mean that Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are not good to their son. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have given their sons the opportunity to take the exams one by one. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang are not native villagers. They are educated youths who went to the countryside from the city, and they don¡¯t have the feudal thinking of rural people. They are enlightened. After their sons grow up and can take responsibility on their own, they will no longer meddle in their sons'' affairs. So even if the village chief complained about this to Lan Shengli, it was useless. Neither Lan Shengli nor Chang Chunfang will force their children to do things they don¡¯t want to do! Besides, who is free to take out their own money and distribute it to others? Lan Shengli, who has been doing business outside for the past two years, knows best, but if he wants to make money, he has to pay. As long as he has hands and feet, he can make money and will not starve to death. So when the village chief went back, he called Lan Shengli who was in Linjiang City at night, and the reply he got was¡ª "Ryohei, you are the village chief, even if you say no, what good is it for me to ask?" "The matter of contracting the back mountain was indeed started by my sons and daughters, and it has nothing to do with me." "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Chunfang and I are getting older, and we have long since cared about our children''s affairs. I can''t help them if they are doing well, as long as they don''t help." Lan Shengli had something to say in his words. While rejecting the village chief''s request to suppress his children as a father, he also said that he didn''t want to hold back his children. The village chief is definitely not the kind of person who can sit in his current position. Now seeing that old friends from the former village cadre group all rejected his plan and didn''t care about the life and death of the villagers, he could only curse. "Lan Shengli! When you and your wife came to the village as educated youths, my father was the head of the village, and he took good care of you. He didn''t let you farm for many years, so he arranged jobs for you." "Now I want to ask you for help, but you don''t help, your family is ungrateful!" Village head Wang Liangping was furious! Although he is the village head, he and Lan Shengli had a friendship when they were young, so when he said this to Lan Shengli, it was not the relationship between the village leader and the villagers, but the yelling between friends. But he took Lan Shengli as a friend, but Lan Shengli didn''t care about their previous friendship at all, and Wang Liang just wanted to curse people in his anger. (end of this chapter) Chapter 394: Charity Chapter 394 Charities Village head Wang Liangping felt that the son of the Lan family was a jerk, and I wouldn''t let him in! So he had no choice but to hang up the phone, and stayed at home sulking. After Lan Shengli received the call, he immediately told his daughter about it without hesitation¡ª ¡­ In Kyoto, just after Lan Shu finished her dinner, the small mobile phone beside her rang. She looked down at the caller ID, it was her adoptive father calling. Lan Shu picked up the phone, and soon heard her adoptive father tell the story about the drought in the village, the large area of ??crops dying, and the village chief asking the Lan family to share the benefits of the back mountain to support everyone in the village. Lan Shu:? ? ? Lan Shu has always had a good impression of the head of Tianshui Village. Especially when she had something to contact her family in Qingyang County, she would call the village head''s house and find her family through the village head''s phone number. Later, she started a business, and sometimes when she returned to Tianshui Village during the Chinese New Year, she would never forget to bring a gift to the village head''s house. In addition, her adoptive father used to be a small cadre in the village and worked with the village head, so Lan Shu always thought that the village head had a good relationship with his family. But now, knowing the plan of the village chief, Lan Shu has only one idea¡ª Benefits touch people''s hearts, this is really true! In fact, if the village chief changed his method and told her family that the situation in the village was difficult, and asked them to help the poor households in the village who will suffer next year, Lan Shu believed that no matter whether it was her elder brother or her adoptive father, they would be happy. Humane rejection. But the village chief asked her family to divide their own interests with a strong attitude, and a fool would obey, right? ! And such a rude request, even the best-tempered person, is enough to be aroused! On the phone, Lan Shu could hear what her adoptive father Lan Shengli meant. He would never ask his children to sacrifice their personal interests in this matter. But he went to Tianshui Village when he was young, and spent most of his life in Tianshui Village, and he has already regarded Tianshui Village as his hometown. So if there are difficulties in the village, he will give some help within his ability. Lan Shu can understand the kindness of her adoptive father. I also know that the old couple have opened a fried chicken shop in Linjiang City in the past few years, and they have indeed made some money, and they are able to help the village. But there must be a reason for helping. At least the villagers should not feel that they deserve these benefits as they should! Humans are greedy by nature. Once they get used to getting money from others for nothing for the first time, they will have the idea of ??sitting back and enjoying it later. The story of Sheng Mi''s kindness and Mi''s hatred has happened in the past dynasties and dynasties. So Lan Shu said after her adoptive father Lan Shengli expressed his thoughts. "Dad, Tianshui Village is also the place where I grew up. If I want to do something for the village, I should also have my share, but what I want to do is not just to help the villagers of Tianshui Village." "The weather is severe this year, and the crops in rural areas in more places have been affected, and there may be no harvest throughout the year." "So I want to create a charity organization and invest some money in it for the farmers affected by this year''s severe drought, so as to ensure that they will not be without food or unable to survive under the drought." Lan Shengli was slightly taken aback by what his daughter said¡ª "Charity? Help all the disaster-stricken households? Does this need a lot of money?" Lan Shengli asked. Although he also has the idea of ??helping others, Lan Shengli feels worried when he thinks that this matter will cost his daughter a lot of money. He was afraid that his daughter would spend too much money, which would affect her original career. Besides, Shushu is married, so if she casually distributes her money to others, will her husband''s family disagree and get angry with her? Thinking of this, Lan Shengli wanted to persuade his daughter not to be too impulsive. Even if you help others, you must do what you can. But when Lan Shu had this idea, she had already made up her mind. Her voice came from the phone and fell into Lan Shengli''s ears¡ª "Dad, if you want to do good things for others, then invest money in charity organizations. Since it is a charity organization, you and I must not only help so many people. I will spread the news so that people who are willing to do charity and willing Anyone who helps farmers in need can invest money in." Hearing what his daughter said, Lan Shengli was relieved. He thinks his daughter¡¯s idea is very good. Let¡¯s pool money together, so that we can help more people! So Lan Shengli listened to his daughter and prepared the money first, and the rest was waiting for his daughter to set up a charity organization¡ª ¡­ Lan Shu wants to set up a charity organization. She wants to do it, so she doesn''t plan to hide it. She first discussed the feasibility of this matter with Xiao Bai. After receiving Xiaobai''s support, the next morning, before her father-in-law Gu Anguo went to work, she called Gu''s family and talked about setting up a charity organization. Gu Anguo learned of his daughter-in-law''s thoughts, so he naturally supported her! This year encountered a severe drought that was rare in ten years. Many people in the higher-ups were devastated because of this matter. Even his work increased a lot due to the drought. Now the daughter-in-law wants to do her part to deal with the drought. After confirming with Lan Shu the amount of the first batch of donations for the establishment of the charity, he wrote this matter into a written report as soon as he arrived at the work unit that morning. , handed it up¡ª Someone is willing to donate money unconditionally to help farmers survive the drought, and the news spreads quite fast! Almost on the same day, the higher-ups were alarmed. The approval documents of the charity organization were also signed, stamped and approved on the spot after Gu Anguo brought his daughter-in-law to meet with the relevant leaders. Another day later, Lan Shu had asked the group finance to transfer 200,000 yuan of charity money to the charity''s separate account. Although the 200,000 yuan is not much to Lan Shu, in this era of low prices, if the money is used for people''s livelihood, it can already help many people! In addition to Lan Shu, Lan Shengli also transferred 10,000 yuan to his account. The money was negotiated between him and Chang Chunfang. The couple have made some money by opening a fried chicken shop in the past few years. Although Chunfang spends most of her time taking care of her grandson, the shop has been recruiting workers, which has not affected the speed of making money. Ten thousand yuan is not too much for the savings they have saved in the past few years, and it is a good thing to help others and do good deeds, so they are naturally more generous. In addition to Lan Shengli, Lan Weicheng, who lives in Kyoto, learned that his daughter has set up a charity organization. Of course, he also wants to support it. So Lan Weicheng transferred 20,000 yuan to the charity account. Lan Weicheng is now worth more than one million, 20,000 is really not much, but helping others and donating money is all voluntary, as much as you like, Lan Shu didn''t say anything. It was Qian Qing and Lu Wei who worked on the 11th floor of their group. When they learned what Lan Shu had done recently, Qian Qing and Lu Wei each took out 50,000 in their own names, making a total of 100,000. (end of this chapter) Chapter 395: thief Chapter 395 Thief Qian Qing said that he came from the countryside. Now that he is successful in his career, he must not forget his roots and do what he can. The reason why Lu Wei donated money to charity organizations is very simple. His hometown is also one of the drought-stricken areas. At first, Lu Wei thought about spending some money to help the former villagers and neighbors in his hometown. Now that he has the opportunity to help more people, of course he will not hesitate. From the establishment of the charity organization to the present, in just a few days, the organization''s account has more than 300,000 yuan! This is still the case when the news has not been spread. Next, Lan Shu also contacted the leader of the TV station, wanting to spread the news of the charitable organization''s fundraising and disaster relief through the channel of the TV station¡ª The relationship between Lan Shu and the TV station leaders is already good. In addition, she established this charity organization to help others. Of course, the TV station leaders will support this kind of positive energy behavior of doing good deeds. So the TV station arranged the fastest schedule to broadcast the public service advertisement of the charity. In the next few days, money was continuously transferred to the independent account of the charity. The amount of money is not large, ranging from five yuan, ten yuan, to one or two, and a hundred yuan. After a series of transfers were pooled together, tens of thousands of dollars were actually scraped together! Not only that, but more money is constantly accumulating towards the account... The charitable organization established by Lan Shu is not in her private hands. She expressed her attitude from the very beginning and invited public officials to participate. The distribution of money on the follow-up account will also be based on the declaration of the disaster situation in various places. When Lanshu set up a charity organization, it will soon be able to help the disaster-stricken people everywhere. Qingyang County, Tianshui Village. After the village head Wang Liangping found Lan Dazhuang many times and failed to communicate about the distribution of benefits, he told the villagers who came to him to make suggestions that although he was the village head, there was nothing he could do about the selfish behavior of the Lan family. ! If the village is really facing a famine, maybe they can try to beg the members of the Lan family to see if they are willing to lend them food to help them tide over the difficulties. The villagers who came to the village chief to express their opinions were originally jealous of the contracted by Lan''s family, and now they have made a lot of money! Seeing that the village chief couldn''t help them fight for their interests, some people were aggrieved. A few elderly villagers even felt that the Lan family was not from their Tianshui Village at all, and it was against the rules for outsiders to contract the back mountain of the village! So soon, some people gathered and planned to fight for their own interests¡ª So in the past few days, in the orchard planted in the back mountain of Lan''s house, people organized groups to steal fruit at night. Even some bold ones went to free-range chicken farms to steal chickens! There are even a few villagers who have developed a revenge mentality. Apart from stealing chickens, if they can''t take them away, they break the necks of other chickens from Lan''s free-range chicken farm and throw them there. Early the next morning, Lan Dazhuang and the workers employed by the Lan family at the free-range chicken factory saw more than a dozen dead chickens piled up and thrown beside the chicken shed of the free-range chicken farm. Chicken blood splattered everywhere, chicken feathers scattered¡ª Lan Dazhuang saw this scene, what else did he not understand? He didn''t expect that he would suffer such retaliation for refusing to distribute the benefits of Houshan to the villagers! Lan Dazhuang was not frightened. He let the workers watch the scene of the incident, and drove the tractor to the county seat without any hesitation! When he came back at noon, Lan Dazhuang''s tractor was already full of officers from the county law enforcement team. He called the police¡ª The chickens from his own free-range chicken farm were stolen and killed, he must not let it go! After all, a chicken sells for more than two yuan outside, and a dozen chickens add up to a loss of dozens of yuan! Not to mention the lost chicken... These are enough for the county law enforcement team to file a case for investigation. So in the afternoon, the law enforcement team searched for clues and collected evidence in the village. After this investigation, it was found that seven or eight households ate chicken at home at noon. In the yards of some villagers¡¯ homes, there are three or two chickens with colored spots running around. The chickens of Lanjia free-range chicken farm, in order to distinguish each batch of month-old chickens, so they are all colored according to the age of the month. Now it is obvious that the chickens in the yards of these villagers are all stolen from free-range chicken farms¡ª In addition, the law enforcement team also found a large number of fresh fruits from the homes of more than ten villagers. It was also at this time that Lan Dazhuang knew that in addition to the free-range chicken farm, his own orchard had also been stolen! The villagers who steal fruit in the orchard are very covert. They pick a few fruits from each tree, so that it is impossible for people to see that the fruit has been stolen. If the chickens from the free-range chicken farm hadn''t been maliciously broken their necks and left there, if Lan Dazhuang hadn''t asked the county law enforcement team to investigate, he wouldn''t have known that the orchard had been stolen! Now the evidence is solid, whether it is stealing chickens or fruit, it is theft! In a short time, the law enforcement team will take the stolen villagers back and lock them up for slow review. The villagers panicked when they heard that they were about to be arrested for committing a crime. In order to evade responsibility, some thieving villagers even asked the elders in their 70s and 80s, as well as the older children, to kneel down with the law enforcement team to intercede for them. The old man and the child were crying and shouting. Now, the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Team members were helpless. This kind of drama where one person has an accident, the whole family is crying, and wins the sympathy of law enforcement officers, no matter in rural areas or in county towns. It''s just that the law enforcement officers arrested so many villagers at once, and the scope of crying caused by it was too big! So for a while, the law enforcement officers who came to Tianshui Village to arrest the thief didn''t know what to do. Someone reported the crime, of course they wanted to catch the thief. Just the families of these thieves, the old and the young. In case of pushing and shoving during the arrest process, it may cause other serious consequences. So someone from the law enforcement team stepped aside and discussed with Lan Dazhuang, who reported the crime, "Or let these thieving villagers compensate your family for the loss, and let this matter be over?" Lan Dazhuang is not a troublemaker either, he reported the crime just to express his attitude. He is not afraid of things! But if the villagers insist on looking for him, then he will let them know the consequences! So Lan Dazhuang told the law enforcement team. "It''s okay to lose money, but whoever started the robbery in my orchard and free-range chicken farm must be found out!" Those who organize theft must be dealt with seriously! As for how much other people stole, they will pay as much as they have stolen, and this matter will be over. As soon as the law enforcement team heard the victim let go, they immediately informed the group of thieves of the villagers how to deal with it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 396: Subsidy list Chapter 396 subsidy list As soon as they heard that they would not be taken away by the county law enforcement team, the villagers who had participated in the theft from Lan¡¯s orchard and free-range chicken farm in Houshan in the past few days immediately confessed to the person who took the lead in organizing this incident! As for making them lose money, many villagers can''t even afford meat, so how can they have so much money to compensate? Even if you have money, who is willing to give your money to others? So the villagers who stole the fruit want to return the fruit. The one who stole the chicken returned it to Lan Dazhuang holding the chicken in both hands. But even that wasn''t enough. There are some chickens with broken necks and eaten by villagers. Lan Dazhuang told the law enforcement team that they must be converted into cash and let these stolen villagers compensate him! Since they have done these things, they have to bear the consequences! Only let them spend money to learn a lesson, so that they will not dare to steal or illegal things in orchards and chicken farms in the future. The members of the law enforcement team who came to Tianshui Village with Lan Dazhuang today can also understand the request of the victim. So the law enforcement team gathered the thieves together and said that if they want to get it done, they must pay back the price! If you don¡¯t lose money, you can only go with them to the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Bureau and lock them up for a few days for investigation. In order not to be caught, some robbed the villagers'' homes, and immediately took out the money and paid compensation. Some people didn''t want to lose money, so they asked the elderly and children to kneel in front of Lan Dazhuang and beg for mercy. These people are from the same village as Lan Dazhuang. Before the theft happened, everyone usually looked up and down. How could Lan Dazhuang make a group of old people and children kneel down to him? So this made him hard! Just as Lan Dazhuang was soft-hearted, he planned to let it go? At this time, a black car drove into the village... Before Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village this time, she didn''t know that the orchard and free-range chicken farm in the mountain behind her home had been stolen. It¡¯s just that the money from charities will be released according to the declarations of various places, so she came back specially and told the village head about this in advance, so that the village head dispelled the idea of ??calculating her family¡¯s interests. At the same time, it was also because she hadn''t been back to Tianshui Village for a long time, and she came back to see the situation of the free-range chicken farm and orchard. By the way, she planned to inspect the fruit processing factory and planned to add a juice production line. But after returning, Lan Shu saw a group of villagers surrounded by the road in the village, and there were people in law enforcement uniforms in the village. Lan Shu knew that something must have happened¡ª She got out of the car and didn''t even need to ask. She stood aside and listened to a few words, and then she understood that the free-range chicken farm and orchard in the back mountain of her home had been stolen by some villagers! This matter may seem trivial, but in fact, if it is not dealt with seriously, it will only make some villagers feel lucky. If they don''t completely cut off their thoughts, maybe similar situations will happen in the future! So when Lan Dazhuang wanted to let go and not pursue the responsibility of those villagers who couldn''t afford the compensation, Lan Shu suddenly walked through the crowd, walked up to Lan Dazhuang, and said in a cold voice. "It''s okay if you don''t want to pay compensation, and we won''t force you, but you stole things from my orchard and free-range chicken farm, and you did something illegal, which means there are ideological and moral problems." "In the future, if the state provides subsidies to people affected by drought, then you people must not be on the compensation list!" Lan Shu said these words to the villagers, and also to the law enforcement team. "If you lose money and apologize now, our family can forgive you, but if you want to renege on the debt, you will bear the consequences in the future!" Lan Shu said decisively. Several villagers who didn¡¯t want to lose money, and were greedy for cheap and wanted to renege on their debts, were overjoyed when they heard that they could not lose money! As for whether the country will subsidize the victims of the drought in the future, it is still uncertain~ Besides, the subsidy from the government is not something that Lan Shu just refuses to give. Even if the Lan family has some money in business, they can''t manage the public affairs! So there are really a few villagers who stole chickens and fruits and don¡¯t plan to lose money. Lan Shu wrote down these people one by one, and then asked people from the law enforcement team to testify, and even left a record for these people. When the villagers saw that the daughter of the Lan family made the matter so formal, some families began to hesitate. They are afraid that if the government really compensates the victims of the drought, and the law enforcement team writes down their names and deprives them of the compensation, then the loss outweighs the gain! So in the end, several villagers who didn''t intend to compensate the Lan family for the loss changed their minds. Only the villagers of the four families were determined, citing lack of money as an excuse to rely on the debt. For these households who reneged on their accounts, the law enforcement team made records according to the requirements of the owners. Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang also wrote down these families. The rest is for the county law enforcement team to take away the culprit who took the lead this time and went to the Lan family¡¯s orchard and free-range chicken farm to steal¡ª As soon as the people left, Lan Shu took her eldest brother to the village chief''s house and explained that there would be charities to subsidize the disaster-stricken farmers in various places. Let the village count the list of disaster-affected households as soon as possible, and report them uniformly at that time. When the village head heard the news, the thing that had been bothering him recently, and what made him worry and worry every day, was finally resolved! As the head of the village, he couldn''t understand the situation of the disaster-stricken fields in the village~! was about to go back to the house to sort out the list, when Lan Shu stopped him¡ª "Village chief, some people in the village took advantage of the night to steal from my orchard and free-range chicken farm in the back mountain. You should have heard about it today." "A total of 23 villagers were involved in the theft, involving 17 households. After the law enforcement team came to the village and found out the matter, most of them converted the loss from the theft into money and paid it to our family. .¡± "Four of them chose to renege on their debts. In front of so many members of the law enforcement team, they acquiesced that they had ideological and moral problems. I said that for these people, if the state subsidizes the people affected by the drought in the future, their The name must not be on the subsidy list!" "So the village chief, you have to remember that Li Dahong, Wang Liangcai, Gao Tiancheng, and Zhang Huaixing don''t have subsidies for drought victims." Lan Shu''s remarks did not give the village chief a chance to refute from the beginning to the end. She was not discussing with the village chief, but narrating and informing. If the village chief doesn''t do what she says, you will be responsible for the consequences! Village head Wang Liangping didn''t know the relationship between the daughter of the Lan family and the charity organization she mentioned. But he heard the tone of the daughter of the Lan family, it seems that this matter must be done according to what she said? Wang Liangping is also the head of the village, how could he be manipulated by a young girl? (end of this chapter) Chapter 397: waiting to see the result Chapter 397 Waiting for the result Besides, among the four families mentioned by the daughter of the Lan family, Wang Liang is his cousin. If he really excludes his cousin''s family from the above subsidy list, then his talented cousin will inevitably come to him to make trouble, and his family will be in trouble~! So Village Chief Wang didn''t take Lan Shu''s warning to heart. He just said, "The things in the village, you, a married girl, don''t care so much!" Listening to the village chief''s answer, Lan Dazhuang was the first to disagree! "Even if my younger sister gets married, she''s still a member of our family! Why can''t we control it?" Hearing this, Village Chief Wang cast Lan Dazhuang a glance. It suddenly occurred to him that some older uncles in the village said, ''The Lan family is not from their village''. Thinking that he regarded Lan Shengli as his brother, Lan Shengli refused to persuade his son, and even refused to save the village, which made Village Chief Wang angry! "Don''t talk about you and your younger sister, even your parents are not qualified! When is it the turn of people with foreign surnames to point out things in our village?" Hearing what the village chief said, Lan Dazhuang''s face turned cold¡ª His parents were educated youths assigned to Tianshui Village decades ago, aren¡¯t they the people with a foreign surname as the village head said? "In this case, the villagers of Tianshui Village will not be given priority when recruiting workers for our orchards, chicken farms and factories in the future." Lan Dazhuang said coldly. And Lan Shu also sneered after hearing what Village Chief Wang said, "Okay, since you have made a decision, Village Chief, you can just wait and see the result." After finishing speaking, Lan Shu didn''t give the village chief a chance to reply, she took the elder brother''s arm, turned around and left¡ª ¡­ Back home, Lan Shu immediately called the management staff of the charity organization. Next, for the declaration of the list of drought-affected households in Tianshui Village, Qingyang County, she must read it and agree to it before allocating funds. Although there are government officials involved in the charity organization, Lan Shu is also the founder, so her words are still useful. Although the agency doesn''t know what happened in Tianshui Village, they will definitely listen if they can ask Miss Lan to call and inform. In the next few days, Lan Shu did not return to Kyoto soon, but stayed in Qingyang County. While learning about the current development of the orchard and free-range chicken farms, she checked the hygiene conditions on both sides of the semi-finished fried chicken processing plant and the fruit processing plant. After confirming that the semi-finished fried chicken factory met the standards in all aspects, and that the canned and pureed fruits in the fruit processing factory were also producing normally, Lan Shu came up with the idea of ??producing fruit juice. In the factory, professional food experts were hired at the beginning. The production and preservation of canned food and the blending of flavors of fruit puree are all produced through multiple processes. Do you want to make juice, and what kind of juice? After listening to Lan Shu''s plan, the professional technicians in charge of products in the fruit processing factory said that it is feasible! The preservation of fruit juice, there are cans and purees first, and the factory has a perfect quality preservation method. The next thing the factory needs is a machine for producing juice. Only by aseptic sealing and reducing manual contact can the juice be preserved for a longer period of time. For the production of such assembly line processing machines, Lanshu has cooperated with Linjiang Machinery Factory quite a lot in these years. As far as the can sealing machine and fruit puree sterilization and bagging machine in the fruit processing factory are designed by He Sunan, he led people to manufacture them. So Lan Shu also plans to hand over the design of the juice machine assembly line to He Sunan. The machine problem is easy to solve, but if you want to produce fruit juice in large quantities, the fruit grown in a few orchards in the back of the village will definitely not be able to supply the mass production of fruit juice in the fruit processing plant down the mountain. So this year, when the juice machine assembly line is manufactured, the juice squeezed from the fruit in the orchard can only be supplied in a small area, or even internally. By next year, if you want to mass-produce juice, you must contact other orchards and buy a lot of fruit! ¡­ Unknowingly, Lan Shu has lived in Tianshui Village in Qingyang County for a week. This week, she stayed in the village most of the time. Only two days to go to the county seat. The main thing is to check the situation of the toilet paper factory and the clothing factory. Fortunately, her daughter is now more than three years old, and she will not cling to her every day, and cannot leave her mother for a moment. This time when Lan Shu returned to Qingyang County, she didn''t bring Xiao Qingning with her. The child left his mother and was accompanied by his father. In the past two years, Xiaobai has spent a lot of time with her daughter, so Xiao Qingning likes her parents equally, and the parent-child time between father and daughter will also be warm and comfortable. ¡­ In Qingyang County, it has been a week since the village chief Wang Liangping submitted the list of households affected by the severe drought in the village. This drought subsidy, because each village directly reported the list to the city unit, and the relevant city unit sent the list to the charity organization for disaster relief by fax, so the money was distributed quite quickly¡ª Village Chief Wang heard that Fuwang Village in the south of their village had already received the subsidy issued by the higher-ups early this morning. Thinking that his village will soon receive the subsidy money, Village Chief Wang is in a great mood~! Unexpectedly, the next day, what he waited for was not the subsidy, but the secretary of the city leader who suddenly called his home¡ª "There is a problem with the declaration list of your Tianshui Village. The agency will not approve the appropriation. This is the first time this has happened in our city. Therefore, the leader instructed that the village must conduct self-examination and self-correction to find out the reason." "Otherwise, if the lists in other cities are normal and the funds are approved smoothly, but the disaster-stricken villages in our city have problems, it will be ugly." When the village chief Wang Liangping heard the words of the leading secretary, besides being apprehensive and apprehensive, he was also at a loss¡ª He doesn''t know what''s wrong with the list he declared? He obviously reported it strictly according to the list of disaster-affected households in the village! Cunchang Wang thought that he had registered too many people, and there was not so much money from above? So he went to other villages to learn about the situation that day. As a result, every household in other villages is on the list, which is more than the list in their village newspaper! So the only problem with the list he reported, what is going on? Wang Liangping couldn''t understand. At this time, he suddenly thought that the county law enforcement team was alarmed by villagers who went to Lan''s orchard and free-range chicken farm to steal. Could it be because the higher-ups knew that someone in their village had stolen things, and because of this bad impression, they didn¡¯t approve the money? Wang Liangping thought about it, it is very possible! So he made a special trip to the city the next day, and waited for a few hours at the gate of the city''s Z mansion before meeting the city leader who was in charge of declaring disaster relief funds. He immediately explained to the leader that although the villagers in the village did something wrong at the beginning, the Lan family has forgiven everyone for the apology and compensation that should be apologized in the end. (end of this chapter) Chapter 398: subsidy issue Chapter 398 Subsidy Issues Actually, if Wang Liangping didn¡¯t say anything, the city leaders wouldn¡¯t know about it. Now I heard that the villagers in Tianshui Village were able to steal something, and it is very likely that the above has already known about it, so they did not grant subsidies to the disaster-stricken households in Tianshui Village. If the subsidy is suppressed because of this reason, it will make their entire Linjiang City embarrass themselves! For this reason, the city leaders in charge of subsidy funds also became nervous. He returned to the office and immediately called outside to find out if the higher authorities did not approve the application list of Tianshui Village in Qingyang County, whether it was related to this matter? The result that can be found is that the list of disaster-affected households reported by Tianshui Village is accurate after investigation. But the charity organization did not know the reason, saying that there was a problem with the list, so they did not release the money. At this time, the leading secretary in charge of investigating this matter suddenly discovered that the list of victims reported by Tianshui Village was abnormal, and the sponsor of a charity organization that did not issue subsidies was named Lan. And in Tianshui Village, the orchard and chicken farm that the villagers stole before are also owned by the Lan family! Could it be that the two Lan surnames are actually a family? The secretary reported this discovery, and the leader thought about it after hearing about it. In Linjiang City, although there are not many Lan surnames, there are. Among them, the most famous person surnamed Lan is Lan Shu. The name Lan Shu, probably no one in their municipal unit doesn''t know it! That is the owner of Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory and Yunshu Garment Factory in Qingyang County! These two factories can be said to have driven the tax increase of the entire Linjiang City! Thinking that Tianshui Village is located in Qingyang County, and that Boss Lan was also from Qingyang County, the city leader who was in charge of declaring disaster relief funds immediately made another call¡ª A few minutes later, the call ended, and he also confirmed that the house surnamed Lan that was stolen by the villagers in Tianshui Village was the home of Boss Lan Shu! So, what other things did the villagers in Qingyang County do to anger the Lan family? Why did Boss Lan Shu withhold the charity''s disaster relief subsidies? It is actually not difficult to investigate this matter, and it took a few more phone calls. The next day, the villagers of Tianshui Village stole the Lan''s orchard and the free-range chicken farm. on his desk. Early this morning, the village head, Wang Liangping, received a phone call from the secretary of the Z government in Linjiang City, who was approving disaster relief subsidies, telling him to go to the city today. Wang Liangping didn''t dare to delay, so he asked his son to drive him to the county seat immediately, and then transferred to the city, where he met the leader who asked him to meet him. In front of the leader, Wang Liangping received a list of subsidy declarations for drought-stricken households in their Tianshui Village handed over by the secretary. Seeing the four names circled in red pen on the list, Li Dahong, Wang Liangcai, Gao Tiancheng, Zhang Huaixing... Wang Liangping was stunned. "Leader, what do you mean by...?" Village Chief Wang was a little anxious. "What do you mean?" The city leader''s voice was obviously angry. "Back then, those villagers in your village stole from Lan''s orchard and free-range chicken farm. Did all the villagers who stole apologize to Lan''s family and compensated them? You should know this better than me!" "The county law enforcement team said that the four people circled on the list finally chose to renege on their debts!" "And the price for them to renege on their debts is to be judged as corrupt! What disaster relief subsidies the country will have in the future has nothing to do with them!" Hearing the city leaders tell him what happened in the village in front of him, even the details were known so clearly, Village Chief Wang turned pale¡ª Immediately, he suddenly realized, "Could it be because their four names appeared on the list of applicants for disaster relief subsidies, so the above did not approve the funds?" When he said these words, Village Chief Wang suddenly thought that the girl from the Lan family had said in front of him that if he insisted on putting the names of the four people in the list of disaster-stricken households, he would be at his own risk! So now that the higher-ups do not approve the funds, is this the consequence that the daughter of the Lan family said? But Village Chief Wang couldn''t figure it out, how could the daughter of the Lan family be so capable that the higher-ups suppressed the list of disaster-stricken households in their village? Seemingly seeing what Wang Liangping was thinking, Secretary Chen beside the leader said, "Mr. Wang, the drought in various places has seriously affected the situation. The above-mentioned allocation of funds to the affected households is actually a donation from a charity organization to the farmers. The sponsor of this organization is the boss Lanshu." "If your village wants to get this disaster relief subsidy, I''m afraid you have to go to Boss Lan to find a way by yourself." The advice the secretary can give is limited to this. The resolution of this matter, so that Tianshui Village can smoothly receive the subsidy for disaster victims, is also what the city leader in charge of these matters requested of Wang Liangping. As he said before, if other cities affected by the drought can successfully distribute the declared subsidies, only Tianshui Village in their city is a special case and will definitely be targeted by other cities. Soon, the collective theft by dozens of villagers in Tianshui Village will become the shame of Linjiang City and will be known by many people! Received a suggestion from the leader''s secretary and learned about the leader''s attitude, how dare Wang Liangping not handle this matter properly? He returned to the village immediately, even though it was already noon, he still brought gifts that the family could get, and ran to Lan''s house to intercede. Wang Liangping finally knew that the girl from the Lan family really couldn''t afford to offend her! He used to think that the daughter of the Lan family just made money by doing business. But now, it turns out that the subsidy for the drought in various places was actually paid by an organization organized by the daughter of the Lan family! That¡¯s the gold master~! He can''t afford to offend... ¡­ At this time, Tianshui Village, Lan''s family. Today at noon, Lan Shu cooks by herself and cooks some hard dishes. She is in a good mood. Because she received a phone call from President Li from the capital in the morning, she learned that the development of Shencheng has come to an end, and the next investment attraction, in addition to the industry, her garment factory can also go to Shencheng for development. Lan Shu had long planned to let the garment factory open a branch. It is best to open one each in the southeast and northwest, so that the delivery and transfer of goods will be faster and more convenient. Shencheng is a good place. Now opening a factory is one thing to make money, but in the future the land occupied by the factory will be a lot of money! So Lan Shu didn''t hesitate at all, and asked President Li to reserve a good place for her. She will go to Shencheng to check the situation soon. Lan Shu cooks at noon today, firstly to celebrate, and secondly, she is going to leave Tianshui Village tomorrow, so she has a good farewell meal with her eldest brother. When the village chief Wang Liangping arrived, the brothers and sisters of the Lan family were eating and chatting happily at the dinner table. The door of the house was knocked suddenly, and the village chief''s voice came from outside the door, which was really disappointing! Lan Shu heard the village chief''s slow tone, and already guessed the purpose of the village chief''s visit today. It must be that she received a call from the charity organization two days ago, and learned that the names of Li Dahong, Wang Liangcai, Gao Tiancheng, and Zhang Huaixing were on the list of Tianshui Village to declare disaster subsidies. So she asked the agency to report that there was a problem with the list. (end of this chapter) Chapter 399: blame you Chapter 399 Blame you A few days ago, Li Dahong and Wang Liangcai chose to blame their family in front of several members of the Qingyang County Law Enforcement Team. As people with ideological and moral problems, these four people will not be able to enjoy drought subsidies for farmers in the future! So there is a list of drought subsidy declarations for the four of them, of course they will be judged to be problematic! In the room, when someone knocked on the door, Lan Shu guessed who it was, so she didn''t get up to open the door. Lan Dazhuang was diligent and diligent. Before Lan Shu could stop him, he had already got up, walked out of the main room in a few strides, crossed the yard, and came to the gate. With a sound of "Boom~", the door bolt was pulled out by Lan Dazhuang. He opened the door, and saw the village chief with a smile on his face, holding two bottles of canned food in his hand, and a bag of brown sugar wrapped in oil paper. , or cakes, you have to log in to the door of their house. But at the critical moment, the village head who was about to enter was stopped by Lan Dazhuang with his hand out¡ª "Village Chief, what are you doing here today?" As Lan Dazhuang spoke, his eyes were already on the things that Village Chief Wang was carrying. Whether it is canned yellow peaches or canned oranges, they are all produced by their fruit processing factory. As for the other package, although it was wrapped in oiled paper, it was impossible to see what was inside, but it was not worth much in terms of the package. So let¡¯s not talk about what the village head is going to do today, the gift he brought is very dishonest! Village head Wang Liangping was stopped outside the door, he was slightly taken aback. After being asked by Lan Dazhuang, he came back to his senses and answered immediately. "Da Zhuang, I''m here to find your little sister, is your little sister at home?" As Wang Liangping said, he stretched his neck and poked his head to look into the Lan''s house. Because Lan Shu was sitting in the main hall of the house, Wang Liangping saw her right away. So he immediately raised the gift in his hand, gestured towards Lan Shu, and said, "Miss Lan, let me come and see you." Listening to the village chief''s words, Lan Shu turned her head, looked across the yard, and looked at the village chief standing outside the gate of her house. She replied loudly, "Thank you, the village chief, for taking time out of his busy schedule to visit me. I am here, and you saw it today, so please come back." When Village Chief Wang saw Lan Shu''s attitude of being too lazy to pay attention to him, he didn''t retreat, but continued to greet people with a smile on his face. He said in a calm tone, "My daughter from the Lan family, you see, I came to the door to apologize in person with a gift, so don''t take things to heart..." Learning that Village Chief Wang''s tone was full of flattery and forgiveness, Lan Shu was unmoved. She mentioned to the village chief before that Li Dahong and Wang Liangcai did not receive drought subsidies. But the village head not only refused to listen, but also disliked that a person with a foreign surname is not qualified to manage the affairs of the village. At that time, it was not that Lan Shu had not given the village chief a chance, but the village chief Wang of Tianshui Village had a firm attitude, so this result was his choice! She has no intention of giving the other party another chance today. People must pay for their choices! Now, the villagers of Tianshui Village do not receive drought subsidies. This is the result of the village chief covering up the villagers who steal and renege on their debts! Wang Liangping, the village head, saw Lan Shu sitting in the main room, and he was very angry, but she didn''t say a word. Even so, he wasn''t angry. Because this time he came to apologize and say good things. It is related to the subsidy money for the drought-stricken households in their entire Tianshui Village. As the village head, it doesn''t matter how much he pays! Cunchang Wang can move himself, but Lan Shu really doesn''t mean to take Joe. If the opportunity is missed, it will no longer exist. Only in this way can people learn a lesson. Although Lan Dazhuang on the side didn''t know why the village chief wanted to please his little sister, but judging from this posture, it was obvious that the village chief wanted something from his little sister! Thinking of how the village head dismissed the existence of their family a few days ago, and looking at the scene in front of him now, Lan Dazhuang wanted to ask the village head if he was ashamed? Facts have proved that Wang Liangping''s face is really shameless panic~! Even though Lan Shu ignored him, he was able to seize the opportunity by himself¡ª "Daughter of the Lan family, blame me for not listening to you before. Think about it carefully. It is true that Li Dahong and Wang Liangcai did something wrong, and they also promised in front of the county law enforcement team that they will no longer enjoy the opportunity of drought subsidies." "At that time, I also thought that everyone was from the same village and could enjoy the subsidy opportunity. It would be a pity to miss it, so I reported their names." "Now I know that I did something wrong. Next, I will re-declare a list of drought-stricken households in the village. This time, there will never be any more of their four names!" Facing Village Chief Wang''s voluntary acknowledgment of his mistakes, Lan Shu''s face did not change, and her expression did not ease in the slightest. Lan Dazhuang was surprised to be at the side. Looking at this scene, Lan Dazhuang even wondered if the village chief had some ''braids'' caught by his little sister? Lan Dazhuang turned his head and looked at his little sister sitting at the dining table in the main room, wanting to see if she would accept the village chief''s apology? But what Lan Dazhuang saw was his little sister''s calm look, which was in stark contrast to the village head''s increasingly nervous and anxious expression after voluntarily admitting his mistake¡ª "Daughter of the Lan family, this matter is not a trivial matter. It is related to the subsidy of the disaster-stricken households in the village. If the subsidy money cannot be obtained, the result of this year''s drought will be that most of the people in our village will have no food next year!" "At that time, the adults will still be able to hold on to one meal a day. If the children can''t eat, they will starve to death!" Seeing that the apology won''t move Lan Shu, the village head planned to understand the difficulties, and tried to soften Lan Shu''s heart so that she could change her mind. But these words fell into Lan Shu''s ears, as if she felt that if she didn''t forgive, the villagers would not be able to eat and the children might starve to death. All these were her fault? This made Lan Shu frown unhappily. She hates moral kidnapping! At first, she didn''t plan to pay attention to the village chief, but now, if she doesn''t speak up, maybe she will hear some offensive words from the village chief next time? ! So Lan Shu got up and walked out of her main room, and came to her elder brother. She looked at the village head and said, "The drought in various places this year was not caused by man-made, it was a natural disaster! If there were no subsidies from above, the villagers would not be able to eat, which should have happened." "I told you about the subsidy issue. You have to cover up people who shouldn''t be on the declaration list. You didn''t listen. Who''s to blame?" "If you want to say that the villagers who could have received the subsidy lost the subsidy in the end, it is not me, but you, the village chief~!" "So this matter, what you should do is to apologize to the villagers, instead of standing here and forcing me to forgive your previous behavior!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 400: Not easy to explain Chapter 400 is not easy to explain "Don''t even think about it, why should I forgive you? I don''t have the obligation to forgive you!" Lan Shu knew that what she said might be cold-blooded and heartless in the eyes of others. But she wasn''t born to be a Madonna. Someone can be forgiven by apologizing when they do something wrong? There is no such reason! Lan Dazhuang on the side listened to his little sister''s words, and looked at the village head''s increasingly anxious face, Lan Dazhuang was very curious, what did the little girl do that made the village head get all the words on his face, and what did he do? not angry? But after hearing Lan Shu''s words of ''do not forgive'', the village chief finally turned his back on him! "Lan Shu! I admit that I did not handle the matter properly before, but this has nothing to do with other villagers in the village! If you want to get angry, you can attack me, but the subsidy is related to the lives of many people~!" After hearing what the village chief said, Lan Shu immediately became angry! "Without the subsidy, wouldn''t everyone in the village still be alive? How many villagers in Tianshui Village work in the orchards, chicken farms, and processing plants of our Lan family. With one person''s salary, it is no problem to support a whole family!" "There are less than fifty households in our village. Among the hired workers in our family, there are more than thirty villagers in Tianshui Village alone! The remaining dozen or so households are not poor even if they have no wage workers. Can''t open the pot." "Even if individual needy households do end up running out of food because of the drought, don''t you still have you? You are the village head, and your life is better than that of ordinary villagers. If you borrow a few families'' food, you can''t live without it, right?" Since the village head wants Da Dao to kidnap her, she might as well spread the matter out and explain it thoroughly! The facts are like this. In fact, since Tianshui Village opened two processing plants because of the expansion of Lan''s orchard and chicken farm, the life of the villagers is not as good as before! But just now, in the mouth of the village chief, it seemed that the villagers in his village would not be able to survive. This kind of exaggerated and pitiful appearance, Lan Shu really couldn''t stand it. Now that the situation has been clarified by her, she has seen the village chief''s emotions go from agitation to anger. Probably thinking that there might be a few villagers in the village who would come to his house to borrow food, Wang Liangping turned pale! In the end, Lan Shu also said, "Don''t think about the drought subsidy. You make your own choice and bear the consequences yourself. As for any household in the villagers who really can''t live, if the situation is true and there is no labor force at home, If you can''t afford it, and the other party begs to come to my house, our family will not die." Lan Shu''s words can be said to have covered the life security of the disaster-stricken households in the village. Of course, the premise is that the village head is irresponsible, regardless of the villagers. And if the village head really wants to do that, then he, the village head, is not far from being scolded. Actually, the drought subsidy in the village is gone because of the village head. If this matter gets to the ears of the villagers, the village head Wang Liangping will inevitably be scolded! After Lan Shu finished speaking, she turned her head and winked at her elder brother. Lan Dazhuang saw this, and smiled at the village chief on his seemingly simple and honest face, and then pushed him away without giving face, "Village chief, my little sister and I will continue to eat, so I won''t keep you." "As for the gifts you brought, there is really no need. Our family''s fruit processing factory can''t finish them. Other things are not rare in my family. If you have money, you can buy everything yourself." After finishing speaking, while the village chief was in a daze, Lan Dazhuang held the door panel with both hands and pushed it forward¡ª In the next second, the village chief was locked out of the door! At home, Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang went back to the main hall for dinner. Outside the door, the village chief Wang Liangping''s face was bruised and white. Before he came, he never thought that the brothers and sisters of the Lan family would not get in! The daughter of the Lan family is unreasonable, and Lan Dazhuang is also a **** who only listens to his sister! Especially what Lan Dazhuang said at the end, ''If you have money, you can buy everything. ¡¯ It made Wang Liangping grit his teeth in anger! It was because of money that he was in such a difficult situation, but the Lan family didn''t worry about money at all. Next, he even has to think about it, how should he explain to the villagers that he couldn''t get the drought subsidy! ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu didn''t wait for the village chief to think of a way to explain to the villagers. She had already taken the car that Master Zhang drove from the county early in the morning and returned to Kyoto. Going back this time, apart from not seeing her daughter for more than a week and missing her very much, she also wanted to meet President Li, and then set a time to go to Shencheng. When going to Shencheng, Lan Shu planned to bring her daughter with her. This time she went back to Qingyang County alone. When she lived in Tianshui Village, she realized that it was not the child who could not leave her, but she could not do without the child. I am used to having my daughter by my side, and I don¡¯t see her for a few days. Only a mother can experience that feeling. ¡­ Kyoto, these few days, Xiao Qingning was taken around by her father to play. Enough playing at home, let''s go to grandparents'' house for a short stay. After that, the old man also missed his great-granddaughter, so he took Xiao Qingning to the compound for a few days. Although Xiao Qingning didn''t meet her great-grandfather much, she knew that her grandfather and grandmother were very kind to her. Even her mother said that on her first birthday, her great-grandfather and great-grandmother gave her a lot of beautiful jewelry. When she grows up and wears them, she will definitely become the most beautiful girl in ten miles and eight villages! Although Xiao Qingning is young, she already knows what beauty is, and she also wants to become beautiful herself. So of course she likes the elder who gave her a gift. Thus, the parent-child time between Xiaobai and his daughter came to an end. He never expected that his daughter would be temporarily ''robbed'' by his grandparents... Xiao Qingning lived in the compound in District Z. The old man and his wife would take their children out for a walk every day. Not only did they bring their children to play, but they also brought their great-granddaughter out to show off to other old friends! Xiao Qingning, who is more than three years old, looks cute and wears beautiful clothes. There is a sense of wit in her big eyes. Such a little girl is absolutely cute, and she can attract a lot of people''s attention wherever she goes. Different from the great-granddaughter of the Wei family, there is also a grandson of another family in the compound, who is a little fool. Meng Dabao, the grandson of the Meng family, has made many people in the compound think that the child is not smart since he was two years old and could not speak a few words. It turns out that he is now more than three years old, and he can''t even speak clearly, not even as good as a one-and-a-half-year-old child in other people''s family. This is almost a fact that there is a little fool in the Meng family~! Other people''s children are stupid, and people will gossip about this matter. Some people who love to gossip can even find out that the mother of the little fool of the Meng family is from the same family as the mother of the clever little girl that Mr. Wei brought out to play in the compound recently. It''s just that one of the two is the biological daughter of the Lan family, and the other is the adopted daughter of the wrong person. (end of this chapter) Chapter 401: skirt Chapter 401 Skirt In the past few days, when Lan Xinya went out in the morning and came back from the mall at night, when she walked into the compound, she would find that the neighbors in the yard would always stare at her. The obvious look at her talking behind her back made her feel very uncomfortable. She knows that she is fat and ugly now. But she is rich~! The money earned by herself is worth more than the total income of workers in other families. Lan Xinya is proud of this, but looks down on the ordinary-income families in the compound. When Lan Xinya thought that others thought she was not good-looking, so they talked about her, she overheard someone mentioning her son in the conversation¡ª "Compared with the great-granddaughter of Mr. Wei''s family, that little idiot of the Meng family is really a heaven and a hell!" "The little girl is good-looking, cute and clever, with a sweet mouth~ it looks like she has been smeared with honey. She calls everyone uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma." "Sometimes it''s really hard not to believe in fate. Look at the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, her biological parents came from a small place, and she doesn''t marry well. The real girl married well, and the son she gave birth to is still stupid..." "..." Hearing this, Lan Xinya finally understood! So it turned out that those strange eyes in the compound these days were not aimed at my appearance, but at my background and my son? ! Lan Xinya still remembers that Lan Shu gave birth to a girl, and now it can be mentioned by people in the compound. It seems that the girl of Lan Shu''s family has come to the compound recently? Before her son was determined not to be smart, Lan Xinya always thought that a girl could be more precious than her son? But now, my son is stupid, maybe he really can''t compare to a girl... This made Lan Xinya grit her teeth when she thought of Lan Shu''s daughter who was inferior to her own son! She wants to see if Lan Shusheng''s video of the girl is really as good-looking and clever as those people in the compound said? So Lan Xinya inquired about the time when the two elders of the Wei family would take their great-granddaughter out on weekdays, and planned to watch nearby to see Lan Shusheng''s girl. ¡­ Seven thirty in the evening, Z area compound. After dinner, Wei Jin took Xiao Qingning out for a walk to digest food, while Liu Qi stayed at home and had to clean up. In the past few days, Mr. Wei has almost changed from his previous majesty. He wears a kind smile on his face every day, and takes his great-granddaughter to haunt the compound. In summer, Xiao Qingning is wearing a small turquoise gauze dress with three-dimensional gauze flowers and small white pearls on it, making her look fresh, agile and lovely like an elf walking out of the forest. The days of summer are long, and it is still dark outside at this moment. The old man and the little girl are holding hands and walking on the tree-lined path in the courtyard. This scene made the neighbors in the courtyard who also came out for a walk after eating to enjoy the cool air see them, and all of them cast their gazes on them. "Xiao Qingning''s dress is so beautiful today!" Someone said hello to the old man. Many old neighbors in the compound remember that the little girl in the hands of the old man, when she came to the compound on the first day, she was wearing a water-red gauze dress, pink and tender like a small flower. The next day she wore a small white gauze skirt, as if she was a little fairy descending from the sky. Today, the little girl is dressed like a forest elf, and the neighbors once again sighed that the great-granddaughter of Mr. Wei''s family seems to be different from the little girl raised by other people''s family! Others raise a girl, but they raise a little princess~! Probably only the princess of the Dynasty in the storybook can go out and hang out wearing beautiful clothes every day, right? Gradually, the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sky darkened. In the compound, the street lights turned on on time. Under the warm yellow light, the figures of an old man and a young man seemed to be coated with a faint golden light on their bodies. Xiao Qingning, shrouded by street lamps, is so smart and beautiful that she doesn''t seem to be in the mortal world. There are also some children who are a little older than Xiao Qingning in the compound. Several little girls who made an appointment to play together after dinner gathered together and looked at Xiao Qingning''s clothes with envious eyes. Two bold little girls approached Xiao Qingning and said, "Little sister, your skirt is so pretty!" "Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Qingning said, and replied politely, "Your clothes are also beautiful." '' But when she noticed that the two young ladies were wearing black pants and short-sleeved sweaters, she really couldn''t say anything against her will. My mother taught her to be honest. So Xiao Qingning paused for a moment, and then replied, "Miss, why don''t you wear beautiful skirts?" The two little girls were obviously confused by such a question! Of course they want to look good in clothes, but they don¡¯t have beautiful clothes at home~ One of the little girls asked, "Little sister, where did you buy your clothes?" She thinks that when she celebrates her birthday this year, maybe she can talk to her parents about buying herself a beautiful dress? "I didn''t buy it~ It was made in our factory. If you like it, wait for my mother to pick me up, and I will ask my mother to give it to you." Xiao Qingning, who has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was a child, has not yet established values ??because of her young age, so she takes it for granted that giving someone else a skirt is nothing. Wei Jin on the side did not stop his great-granddaughter''s decision, and he would not interfere casually in the communication between children. When the two little girls heard that the little sister wanted to give them skirts, they waved their hands nervously, "No, no, my father said that you can''t just take things from other people''s homes." "Yes, my mother said that too." Although the two are not very old, one is six or seven years old and the other is eight or nine years old, they have good tutors at home. When Xiao Qingning heard it, she didn''t force it. She thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then you can ask your parents to take you to the mall to buy. My mother has many friends who have opened stores in many malls, selling all kinds of beautiful clothes. little skirt~¡± Xiao Qingning was talking about the directly-operated store of the garment factory. Here, three little girls were talking. Not far away, Meng Heng took his son out for a walk, and they happened to come here. In the distance, Meng Dabao saw Xiao Qingning in a beautiful dress, and trotted over. Everyone has a love of beauty, even a fool would instinctively want to get close to good-looking children of the same age. Beside Xiao Qingning, the two older girls saw the little fool in the courtyard, and immediately pulled Xiao Qingning away. They heard from the adults at home that they should not play with idiots, otherwise they would become idiots too. Although such a statement is unreliable in itself, children will not have too much doubt about what adults say. They don''t know what adults say, they just don''t want their children to play with fools. (end of this chapter) Chapter 402: Fool Chapter 402 Fool In this day and age, people''s discrimination against fools is quite serious. As if a stupid person is not only stupid, but also an infectious disease¡ª Seeing the two young ladies beside her suddenly looking in one direction, and showing a frightened expression, Xiao Qingning also turned her head to look. Afterwards, she saw a little bald head about her height running towards her. "Little sister, let''s go, he is a fool!" Aged eight or nine years old, the little girl with a twisted braid lowered her voice, timidly, and even whispered in fear. "Go! Play with idiots and we''ll be idiots too!" The little girl with twin ponytails who was five or six years old also had lingering fears, and couldn''t help but take two steps back. Hearing what the two young ladies said, Xiao Qingning''s face remained normal. Most children would let others say what they said, but Xiao Qingning had doubts about such words. "Does a fool mean not being smart? But not being smart is not a disease. How can it infect others and make them stupid?" Although Xiao Qingning is still young, she already knows the meaning of many words. For example, ''contagion'', that is, once my mother caught a cold, she was not allowed to come close, saying that she was worried that it would infect her. That''s when she asked ''what is contagion? '' My mother replied, ¡®Infection means that a sick person carries a virus that is invisible to the naked eye. If such a virus spreads to others, it may make others sick as well. '' So Xiao Qingning remembered that the premise of infection is illness, and then the infection will occur. She was thinking in her little head, it''s not a disease for a fool, how could it be contagious? Regarding her question, even if the two little girls next to her were a few years older than her, they couldn''t explain her question clearly. On the other hand, Mr. Wei was very surprised. His great-granddaughter is only a little over three years old, and she can think independently~! If you were another three or four-year-old child, I¡¯m afraid they would just obey blindly, right? It can be seen that Xiao Qingning is not only cute, but also smart. Wei Jin is very happy, his descendants have a gratifying IQ, he just feels proud! Besides, the two little girls saw that the little sister was not afraid of the little fool, and even asked questions that they couldn''t answer. After hesitating for a moment, the two of them turned around and ran away because of the unknown fear of beings like fools. They were afraid that they would become stupid too¡ª At this time, Meng Dabao finally walked in front of Xiao Qingning with his short legs. "Hehe~hahaha~" Meng Dabao doesn''t talk much. If he wants to make friends with other children, his first reaction is to smile at them. But it was because of his smirk that made people think he was a fool, a terrible fool! Xiao Qingning did not have the idea of ??discriminating against others. Seeing that the little bald head had no malice towards her, she also greeted with a smile, "Hello~" "Okay, okay." Meng Dabao was happy and even a little excited when he saw a child pay attention to him for the first time. With this excitement, he, who was originally ignorant of words, couldn''t even utter a few words. "What''s your name?" Xiao Qingning asked kindly. Meng Dabao listened, and his reaction was a little slower than that of ordinary children. After thinking about it, he replied, "Bao, Dabao." It was the first time he said the word ''Dabao''. He only said ''Bao'' before. "Dabao? It means, are you the baby in your family?" Xiao Qingning expressed his feelings for this name. Meng Dabao didn''t understand Xiao Qingning''s words, but when a child of the same age asked him, he couldn''t answer and just nodded instinctively. Behind, when Meng Heng walked over, what he saw was a little girl who looked like two or three years old, talking to his son. This was also a surprise to Meng Heng. He usually spends more time with children, and he knows best that all the children in the compound avoid his son, as if avoiding the plague, and run away when they see it. He doesn''t blame those children for looking at his son with strange eyes. Children are ignorant, and they are all instigated by adults. But seeing that my son is ignored, everyone doesn''t play with their children, and being a father feels uncomfortable. But now, there are children who are not afraid of his son! ? He even talked to his son peacefully! Meng Heng looked up at the adults next to the little girl, and saw Mr. Wei at a glance¡ª Before, he just kept his eyes on his son, but now he realized that the little girl beside his son was brought by Mr. Wei? And can be taken by the old man, and he is about the same age as his son... Soon, Meng Heng guessed the identity of the little girl in front of him! Is it Gu Jue''s daughter? Speaking of which, Meng Heng met Gu Jue''s family of three once before. It was more than a year ago, when his son was almost two years old, he took his son to the zoo to play, and met a little girl who could speak well and had her own thinking. It was also at that time that he realized that his son might not be as smart as ordinary people. More than a year has passed, Meng Heng did not expect to see Gu Jue''s daughter again. The little girl looks a bit older than before, her brows and eyes are longer, and she looks even more beautiful~! The most important thing is that this little girl didn''t listen to other children''s rumors, and didn''t alienate her son. This made Meng Heng feel relieved and happy for his son. Right now, the negotiation between Xiao Qingning and Meng Dabao is still going on¡ª "They said you are a little fool, because you don''t talk much?" In just a few words, Xiao Qingning had already seen that speaking was a difficult thing for Meng Dabao. "Ah... yes." After Meng Dabao finished speaking, he paused for a few seconds, then nodded again. His slow reaction proved to be a fool. Seeing his son''s actions, Meng Heng couldn''t help but sigh. Although he has accepted the fact that his son is not smart, the gap between his son and smart kids is too obvious! After sighing, Meng Heng walked up to Mr. Wei seriously, and saluted seriously. Although he has already retired from the army, but seeing the former old leader, the respect is engraved in his bones. Once Mr. Wei saw Meng Heng''s reaction, he just nodded slightly, and then made a silent gesture. Most of the old man''s attention is on his great-granddaughter. He wants to take a good look at how smart and independent his little Qingning is. Seeing this, Meng Heng could only watch quietly. "...Is it because no one taught you, that''s why you don''t know how to speak?" Xiao Qingning looked at Meng Dabao and asked. Meng Dabao reacted a little slower again, he thought for a while, and this time he understood what Xiao Qingning meant, so he shook his head. Using actions instead of answers is what he does most often. But Meng Dabao''s usual actions made Xiao Qingning dissatisfied at this moment. The three-year-old girl frowned slightly, her tone imitating an adult preaching to a child¡ª "You can''t just nod and shake your head~! If you don''t learn, how can you talk?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 403: Stay away! Chapter 403 Stay away! "You can''t just nod and shake your head~! If you don''t learn, how can you talk?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Qingning started teaching on the spot with great enthusiasm! "Come and say to me, hello, my name is Dabao." When Meng Dabao heard this, he hesitated for a moment before trying to speak. "Good... big, treasure." "Wrong! Yes, hello." Xiao Qingning taught patiently. "Hi, good, I... Dabao." Meng Dabao had difficulty speaking, but when these words came out of his mouth, Meng Heng slightly widened his eyes in surprise! His son, he knows best, Dabao is usually more difficult to speak than other children, so gradually, he can stop talking when he can''t speak. Even if he said something occasionally, it would be two or three words. But now, it has never been possible to speak five words at a time! At this moment, Meng Heng looked at Gu Jue''s daughter with bright eyes¡ª He felt that if his son played with Gu Jue''s daughter a few more times, maybe the intelligence of the little girl would be contagious? Will it make his son at least not as dull as he is now? At this moment, Meng Heng didn''t think about the disagreement between Lan Xinya and Lan Shu. He just hoped that his son could change the current situation. Even if Meng Heng has no doubts about his son''s brain burnout, if he can make his son''s state even a little bit better than it is now, he is willing to pay any price to achieve it! In front of him, Xiao Qingning was encouraging Meng Dabao. "Look, in fact, you speak very well, and you need to practice more in the future to speak better~" Saying that, Xiao Qingning still didn''t forget to introduce herself, "Hello, Dabao, my name is Gu Qingning, and I''m three and a half years old now." "Gu...Ning." Meng Dabao tried hard to remember the name of the only little girl who was willing to talk to him. But he was stupid, and the word ''clear'' was too difficult for him, and he turned his tongue several times in his mouth, but he still couldn''t say it. Xiao Qingning didn''t know that Meng Dabao couldn''t pronounce, so she told Meng Dabao, "It''s not Gu Ning, it''s Gu Qingning. Say it with me, Gu, Qing, Ning." Xiao Qingning''s voice slowed down a bit, I hope Dabao can hear it more clearly so that he can start learning. Meng Dabao originally felt that the name of the little girl in front of him was too difficult to say, so he planned to give up! But seeing Xiao Qingning''s eyes full of waiting for him to say something, the eyes that believed that he could do it made Meng Dabao''s heart burst with courage! "Qi, Qing...Qing, Qingning." Meng Dabao took a lot of effort, his face turned a little red, and then he said Xiao Qingning''s name. Although Dabao omitted his surname when Dabao said his full name, Xiao Qingning didn''t care. Anyway, her father, mother, grandpa, and grandma call her Xiao Qingning on weekdays. Hearing Meng Dabao successfully called out his name, Xiao Qingning was very happy. She smiled joyfully, and said to Meng Dabao, "That''s right! Once you learn how to speak, you can call me by my name in the future~!" Besides, being able to teach a child who is about her age to speak is also a very fulfilling thing for Xiao Qingning. Hearing what Xiao Qingning said, Meng Dabao suddenly felt happy! He can''t talk too much now, but in his heart, he can tell that the little girl in front of him not only teaches him to speak and tells herself her name, but also doesn''t dislike him, and is willing to play with him all the time! Although Meng Dabao is still young and has a lower IQ than ordinary children, he can also feel the joy of having friends! That feeling cannot be replaced by anything! Aside, Meng Heng listened to Gu Jue''s daughter obviously wanting to make friends with his son, and he subconsciously looked up at Mr. Wei who was a few steps away. Meng Heng knew very well that with his family background and his own children, even if they were healthy, he was not qualified to make friends with Xiao Qingning. What''s more, his son''s brain is burnt out, and he is much more stupid than ordinary children, so he is even less qualified! As if seeing Meng Heng''s thoughts, Mr. Wei said softly, "The children''s decision is their own choice." The implication is that he will not stop his great-granddaughter from making friends with anyone. As long as Xiao Qingning is willing, the silly boy of the Meng family can of course become his great-granddaughter''s friend. Seeing this, Meng Heng breathed a sigh of relief¡ª Not far away, although Xiao Qingning and Meng Dabao met for the first time, perhaps because of their similar age, the two communicated more and more. Seeing that his son doesn''t say as much in a week as usual, Meng Heng''s impression of Xiao Qingning is that she is not only Gu Jue''s daughter, but also that she might be able to save his son''s stupid status quo My little benefactor! At this moment, Lan Xinya, who came back from get off work in the shopping mall, finally found the old man of the Wei family in the courtyard, and also saw Lan Shu''s daughter. The three-year-old little girl looks pink and tender, her eyes are bright and energetic, and the clothes she wears are also beautiful, which makes her feel amazing, and then she is full of envy! Lan Xinya couldn''t understand, even adults can''t wear such good-looking clothes, a little girl who needs to change new clothes every year, is it worth wearing such good clothes? Besides, what Lan Xinya didn''t expect was that her son would stand with Lan Shusheng''s girl! Because Lan Xinya hates Lan Shu, she instinctively hates Lan Shu''s daughter! So how could she bring her son and Lan Shu''s daughter closer? ! So she stepped forward quickly, unexpectedly appeared next to Xiao Qingning, stretched out her hand and pulled Meng Dabao behind her¡ª Xiao Qingning saw a strange woman tearing her friend apart, which made her immediately think of the story of the human trafficker that her mother told her! Human traffickers will abduct or arrest children, and then sell them to the mountains and never see their parents again¡ª Even though Xiao Qingning is small, she still has a sense of kindness and justice in her heart. How can she just watch Dabao being taken away by a ''human trafficker''? She rushed towards the ''human trafficker'' subconsciously, trying to take back the little fool, but Lan Xinya raised her hand and pushed her to the ground¡ª "Stay away from my son!" Lan Xinya said bluntly. And Xiao Qingning''s fall, because she didn''t wear much clothes in summer, her arms and legs were instantly injured by the rough concrete floor! The delicate skin was scratched, and bright red blood beads ooze out through the wound... Xiao Qingning had never been hit so hard before, and the instant severe pain from the wound made her ¡®wow~! ¡¯ cried out¡ª Lan Xinya''s sudden appearance just now and the scene of pushing people happened so fast that Meng Heng and Mr. Wei, who stood a few steps away, didn''t react and couldn''t stop her behavior! When Mr. Wei ran to his great-granddaughter at a quick pace and looked at the wound on Xiao Qingning''s body, he couldn''t remember how many years he hadn''t had this feeling of distress, heartache, and rising anger! (end of this chapter) Chapter 404: ask Chapter 404 Request Someone dared to hurt her great-granddaughter who was holding in the palm of her hand and protecting her into a treasure! This made Wei Jin look at Lan Xinya who was pushing people, the majesty and anger in his eyes were intertwined, fierce and scary! Even Lan Xinya, who is used to seeing all kinds of people who sell clothes in the shopping mall, was frightened by such gazes¡ª She couldn''t help but took two steps back with a trembling heart, revealing her son who had been pulled behind her. When Meng Dabao saw that Xiao Qingning was bleeding on her hands and knees, he was nervous and worried, and subconsciously rushed to Xiao Qingning''s side to see if she was okay. But when his body just had this momentum, his mother behind him grabbed the collar of his clothes¡ª Meng Dabao couldn''t go to his friend, so he burst into tears with a grievance "Wow~~"! The next second, ¡®Crack! ¡ª'' With a sound, Meng Heng stepped forward and slapped Lan Xinya''s hand away from her son''s nape of the clothes. Then he glared at Lan Xinya, "What are you doing?! How can you push a child of how old?" An adult can push down a three-year-old girl, Lan Xinya can do this too? ! After hearing Meng Heng''s questioning, Lan Xinya set her eyes on Meng Heng. Just now her hand hurt from being slapped by Meng Heng, which made her suddenly angry with Meng Heng! Facing Meng Heng''s questioning, she said without any guilt. "Don''t you know who this girl is? She is Lanshu''s daughter, how could you let Dabao get so close to her?!" She felt that Meng Heng knew that she and Lan Shu were at odds, and that they were enemies when they met, but Meng Heng didn''t stop the two children from getting in touch, which simply made her unhappy! Listening to Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Heng wanted to say something else¡ª At this time, Wei Jin on the side picked up his little great-granddaughter and looked at Lan Xinya coldly. "No matter what your reasons are, it is wrong to hurt my children! Apologize to my children immediately!" Wei Jin said with a chill in his tone! Meng Heng at the side could hear that Mr. Wei was very angry! He could understand the feeling. If anyone pushes his son down and hurts him, he will never let him go easily! When Lan Xinya heard Mr. Wei''s words, she was actually intimidated, and instinctively planned to apologize. But when the words came to her lips, she stopped them again¡ª As long as Lan Xinya thinks that she has to apologize to Lan Shu''s daughter, she can''t bear to do that! So she looked up at Mr. Wei, pretended to be calm and said, "Don''t let Lan Shu''s daughter approach my son in the future! Otherwise..." "Otherwise what?" Wei Jin''s face suddenly darkened! Just now, he did not deal with the daughter-in-law of the Meng family in a violent way because of the face of the old Meng family. But now, Wei Jin frowned at the woman''s unrepentant attitude. Across from each other, what Lan Xinya said just now was just a warning, and she spoke quickly. Now being asked by Mr. Wei, she was at a loss for words. But she told herself that she must not be defeated at this time! So soon, Lan Xinya thought up her speech. "In short, I won''t let my son play with Lan Shu''s daughter!" When Lan Xinya said these words, Wei Jin immediately sneered with disdain. He thinks that the daughter-in-law of the Meng family hasn''t figured out the situation yet? Her little fool, does anyone in the whole compound want to play with him? Now his family''s Xiao Qingning doesn''t dislike the little fool and is willing to talk to the little fool, but this woman doesn''t even know what''s good and what''s wrong! The same thought as Wei Jin also appeared in Meng Heng''s mind at this moment. Meng Heng looked at Lan Xinya in surprise, and wondered in his heart, is it because Lan Xinya hardly cared about the child on weekdays, so she didn''t know his son''s situation in the compound now? Now Dabao has finally met a friend of the same age who can talk, Lan Xinya, a mother, is not only not happy for her son, but wants to destroy her son''s hard-won friendship with her own hands! Thinking of this, Meng Heng couldn''t help scolding loudly, "Lan Xinya, shut up!" After saying this, Meng Heng turned his head to look at Old Man Wei and the little girl in his arms. Xiao Qingning cried a lot at first because of the pain of skin abrasions, and then she heard the quarrel of several adults in front of her, and her crying gradually stopped. With tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, she sobbed one after another, while observing the words and deeds of the adults in front of her. Hearing the name of her mother from the ''human trafficker'' who overthrew her, she opened her small mouth slightly in surprise. It turns out that the ''human trafficker'' is Dabao''s mother! Although Xiao Qingning is young, she has already heard the reason why she was pushed down and injured. Was it because she was playing with Dabao? Dabao''s mother doesn''t allow Dabao to play with her, and even pushed herself so badly, she doesn''t play with Dabao anymore! Because of her young age, Xiao Qingning''s thoughts are almost written on her face. Meng Heng saw that because of Lan Xinya, the little girl never looked at his son again, he was worried in his heart, and immediately said to the little girl. "I''m sorry, Xiao Qingning, this auntie did something wrong just now, she shouldn''t push you, you don''t have to forgive her, but please don''t ignore Dabao, okay? Dabao really hopes to have a friend like you." At this time, the tone of Meng Heng''s words to Xiao Qingning could be said to be humble. And what he said completely overturned what Lan Xinya said at the beginning, telling the two children not to contact each other. Lan Xinya looked at Meng Heng in disbelief, the blame in her eyes was almost overflowing! But Meng Heng didn''t care what Lan Xinya was thinking at all. At this time, he tried his best to apologize, just to help his son who is not good at talking, and to save this hard-won friendship... Xiao Qingning could tell that the uncle in front of her sincerely hoped that she could continue to play with Dabao. Unlike Dabao''s bad mother, this uncle''s tone was very gentle. Hearing an adult''s request to him, Xiao Qingning hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, as long as Auntie stops pushing me, I will play with Dabao." Children''s thinking is very simple, the injury they just received can be forgotten in a blink of an eye. Wei Jin wanted to pursue it at first, but after hearing that Xiao Qingning didn''t care anymore, he didn''t seem to be able to hold on to this matter any longer. But even so, he didn''t have a good impression of Lao Meng''s daughter-in-law! In addition, his impression of the Meng family is not as good as before. It is really unlucky for the Meng family to have such a daughter-in-law! On the opposite side, Meng Heng finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Xiao Qingning''s answer, "Thank you, Xiao Qingning." Lan Xinya saw that Meng Heng disregarded her wishes, she was about to explode! "As I said, I don''t allow Dabao and..." Lan Xinya didn''t have time to say what she said next, but Meng Heng shut her mouth with a stare! Lan Xinya could tell that Meng Heng, who had always scolded her, never returned the words, but this time she was really angry¡ª Although she still lives in Meng Heng''s house now, she has actually divorced Meng Heng. If Meng Heng is really angered, maybe she will be driven out of the house by Meng Heng! At that time, not only will she have to find a house and pay the rent by herself, but there will be no one cooking and cleaning at home, and she will not be able to see her son every day. That would be more harm than good... These two days have been quite busy, and today I still have a cold, I have a severe headache, and I can¡¯t concentrate. I have to write and revise for a few hours from afternoon to night to complete a chapter... That''s all for today, rest early and hope to be in better shape tomorrow~! In addition, thank you for your support of the monthly pass, and the cuties who have the monthly pass continue to vote~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 405: twists and turns Chapter 405 Winding around Lan Xinya shut up, Meng Heng apologized to Mr. Wei, when Dabao heard Xiao Qingning said he was willing to play with him, the little fool immediately stopped crying. It was getting late, and Xiao Qingning had scratches on his legs and hands, so Wei Jin didn''t stay any longer, and turned to go home with Xiao Qingning in his arms. Before leaving, Lan Xinya was still begged by Meng Heng, and reluctantly apologized to Xiao Qingning. Wei Jin''s insincere apology kept his face cold. Xiao Qingning is also young and easy to coax, when he heard the apology, he immediately forgave the other party~! Wei Jin didn''t say anything about it, as long as his great-granddaughter was satisfied. Waiting for the Wei family to leave, Meng Heng took a deep breath, moved his gaze slowly, and finally landed on Lan Xinya. He glanced at Lan Xinya, as if he wanted to say something. But then he remembered that his son was by his side now. So Meng Heng swallowed the words that came to his lips¡ª "Let''s go back first." He said, picked up his son, turned and walked towards home. ¡­ Evening, Wei''s house. Wei Jin and Liu Qi rubbed complex iodine on Xiao Qingning''s wound with distressed faces. Before applying the medicine, Liu Qi was afraid that when the medicine touched the wound, the child would cry in pain, so she coaxed Xiao Qingning and said, "The wound will heal quickly after applying the yellow medicine." Xiao Qingning didn''t want her mother to know about her injury, otherwise her mother would be sad. In order to get better soon, Xiao Qingning bit her lip while applying the medicine, endured the pain, and carried it over without saying a word. Looking at the little doll''s size but such a strong appearance, Wei Jin sincerely felt that Xiao Qingning deserved to be his great-granddaughter! Even if it is a girl, she still has the demeanor of his youth! And Liu Qi looked at the sensible Xiao Qingning, and felt more loving towards her in his heart, and felt more distressed about the child''s injury. "Is it Lao Meng''s daughter-in-law who hurt my child? You can forgive me for this, but I can''t stand it!" Liu Qi said, already planning to talk to the Meng family tomorrow and said¡ª ¡­ While Xiao Qingning was dealing with the wound, the Meng family. After Meng Heng went back, he immediately carried his son into his parents'' house. Then he stopped Lan Xinya who had just walked in, and said in a cold voice, "Let''s go out and have a chat." Meng Heng had something to say, he wanted to tell Lan Xinya a long time ago, and he had to make it clear by taking this opportunity today. When Lan Xinya heard Meng Heng''s voice, she felt ''thump~! ¡¯ One jump. Meng Heng deliberately found herself in front of her, and she probably knew what she could say. Facing Meng Heng''s gaze, Lan Xinya frowned. "What are you talking about? I did something wrong today. Shouldn''t I push Lanshu''s daughter?" Lan Xinya didn''t want to talk about anything with Meng Heng, so she avoided the important ones and brought up today''s matter to divert Meng Heng''s original attention. Lan Xinya is not stupid, plus she has been selling clothes in the shopping mall in the past two years, and she has done a lot of things, so how can she do business without a little thought? So now she is more thoughtful than before. Seeing Lan Xinya''s unrepentant attitude, Meng Heng said immediately. "What you did today was wrong. With Dabao''s current state, who would want to play with him in the compound? Xiao Qingning is the first child who doesn''t despise Dabao!" Hearing Meng Heng followed her words, Lan Xinya thought that she had successfully diverted Meng Heng''s attention. But the next second, she saw Meng Heng and said, "Lan Xinya, when do you plan to move out?" This matter was the last thing Lan Xinya wanted to mention in the past two years, but unexpectedly, Meng Heng said it directly! ¡ª Lan Xinya was startled, and was about to think of a reason to deal with it, but then, she heard Meng Heng say again. "We have been divorced for two years. In the past two years, your parents still let you live at home and take care of you as before, all because you are Dabao''s mother!" "But you have failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother to her children! You are only busy with your business and never pay attention to Dabao''s situation. Every time he gets sick, you are not by his side! No one wants to play with him, you Never knew either." "Now he has met Xiao Qingning, and he can talk to Xiao Qingning. You don''t care about such a good change. You just think that the relationship between you and Xiao Qingning''s mother is not good!" When he said this, Meng Heng had already made up his mind that the relationship between him and Lan Xinya should be completely severed! But Lan Xinya didn''t want to leave the Meng family... At this time, Lan Xinya even regretted her impulsive divorce at the beginning. At that time, she felt that Meng Heng, a man who had no job and lived at home, was not worthy of himself who was about to open a clothing store and was about to make a lot of money! But what Lan Xinya didn''t expect was that even if Meng Heng didn''t have a job, he wouldn''t have to worry about food and clothing. And I worked hard to open a store and start a business. Although I made some money, it was not as developed as I imagined at the beginning. Fortunately, she can always live in Meng''s house, and her life has not changed much from before. But now, if I leave the Meng family, my life will definitely not be as good as it is now! So Lan Xinya is determined not to leave! "Meng Heng, you asked me to leave? Are you disregarding Dabao''s wishes?" At the critical moment, Lan Xinya carried her son out. Although it is true that she rarely takes care of her son on weekdays, she is the mother of the child after all, and the child recognizes her. Lan Xinya is sure that if she leaves, Dabao will definitely cry to find his mother! Just focus on this point, with the love of the old Meng family for the grandson, she can''t leave~! But what Lan Xinya didn''t expect was that Meng Heng had already made up his mind this time! "Lan Xinya, as long as you leave, don''t worry about the child." Meng Heng''s indifferent eyes met Lan Xinya''s. In his eyes, there is a strong desire to drive Lan Xinya away! It''s a pity that Lan Xinya is no longer the Lan Xinya who cared about her face in everything. Having been in business for more than two years, besides improving her business experience, Lan Xinya is also much thicker-skinned than before. She smiled at Meng Heng with a "heh~", and then said in a seemingly compromised way, "I can move out, but you have to let me find a place to live before leaving?" Meng Heng is an upright person without too many twists and turns. When he heard that Lan Xinya was willing to leave, he immediately agreed! "Okay, then wait until you find a place to rent. If you need help then, I can help you carry your luggage." Meng Heng said kindly. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he and Lan Xinya were finally going to have a clear relationship. But he never thought that Lan Xinya''s rhetoric was just a way to delay the attack. One month after Lan Xinya agreed to leave Meng¡¯s house, she still lived in Meng¡¯s house, occupied Meng Heng¡¯s room, and enjoyed the breakfast and dinner served by Meng¡¯s mother Liu Cui... There will be another chapter later, you can read it tomorrow~ I didn¡¯t feel well in the past two days, and I was busy moving, so I will update it steadily~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 406: admission Chapter 406 Admission In September, three-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Qingning is about to go to kindergarten. Before this day came, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai had many disagreements on whether their daughter should go to kindergarten this morning. Xiaobai thinks that the child is too young, so he can play at home for a few more years, and go to preschool at the age of six and elementary school at the age of seven. But Lan Shu''s idea is to go to kindergarten earlier, so that children have more opportunities to contact children of the same age. This will not only exercise children''s ability to communicate with others, but also help children explore this "small society" between people earlier in the collective life of kindergarten. The most important thing is that children are in the golden stage of development. At this time, their brain power is the most active, and they can learn things much faster than adults! Regarding this point, Lan Shu saw with her own eyes that Xiao Qingning was able to understand music scores and play some simple nursery rhymes in just three or four months since she started playing the piano. In addition, Lan Shu tells stories to her daughter almost every day. She specially asked someone to collect all the story books that can be found on the market and put them in the study. Every night, let the daughter choose a book she wants to read, then hold her daughter in her arms, and read the story word by word. In this way, while listening to the story, Xiao Qingning also knew a lot of characters unconsciously. Some simple stories, as long as she reads them several times, she can look at the book in a decent way and tell the general plot of the story. Lan Shu really didn''t want to miss her daughter''s best learning stage, so after she communicated with Xiao Bai many times, she got Xiao Bai''s consent. Xiaobai said that as long as her daughter likes it and she is willing to learn it, then he has no objections. So it was the first day of school, and Xiao Qingning, who was less than one meter tall, wore a white college-style short-sleeved top and dark blue pleated skirt pants, and walked into the kindergarten under the watchful eyes of her parents. This kindergarten is a preschool education school with a good reputation in Kyoto. Before deciding to send her children here, Lan Shu had already done an in-depth understanding of the daily situation of the kindergarten. This is not just a place to coax children, but teachers lead children to learn while playing. Today''s kindergartens do not have uniform clothing. Xiao Qingning''s seemingly simple but distinctive clothes, coupled with her cute appearance, are particularly attractive among a group of children queuing up to enter the kindergarten. conspicuous. Because Lan Shu has already mentally prepared her child to enter the kindergarten, even if Xiao Qingning wants to leave her parents temporarily and spend a daytime with a group of people she doesn''t know in a strange place, she will There is no such thing as other children who cry heart-piercingly after leaving their parents. Walking into the gate of the kindergarten, Xiao Qingning turned around and waved to her parents, "Dad, Mom, remember to pick me up early at night~" "Okay." Lan Shu agreed with a smile. And Xiaobai nodded, resisting the father''s reluctance and worry about his daughter. Afterwards, he immediately turned his back, for fear that his daughter would see his moist eye sockets. Xiaobai can see that although her daughter seems calm, the phrase "come and pick me up early" still reveals the child''s fear of the unknown in kindergarten life. But Xiao Qingning is a sensible child, she doesn''t want her parents to worry. And she is really interested in kindergarten life, so Xiao Qingning resolutely walked to the kindergarten. Poor Xiaobai. It was the first time for Xiaobai to send his daughter to school, and he experienced the inseparable feelings of an "old father" for his child. Fortunately, Xiao Qingning''s first day of kindergarten life went smoothly. In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai waited at the gate of the kindergarten early in the morning, watching their own daughter, a small one, follow a group of children out of the kindergarten in a not-so-tidy line. Xiao Qingning had a happy look on her face. It was obvious that this day''s kindergarten life made her very happy. It was also at this time that Xiao Bai, the father, finally let go of the heart that had been hanging for a day. Xiao Bai smiled, stretched out his hand, and hugged his daughter who came out of the kindergarten tightly in his arms. Then he turned his head and looked at Lan Shu, expressing his feelings. "Suddenly feel that our daughter will grow up soon..." "Yes." Lan Shu nodded, "After having a child, as the child grows up and grows taller every year, it seems that you can see the passage of time." Xiao Qingning''s growth constantly reminds Lan Shu that time is moving forward¡ª ¡­ On the other side, the Meng family. Since Meng Dabao learned to speak from Xiao Qingning last time, he has never seen Xiao Qingning again. Although Xiao Qingning said at the time that she was willing to play with Dabao, she was picked up by Lan Shu from the courtyard the next day. Lan Shu picked up the child, not because her daughter was injured, which made her unhappy. But at that time, she had just returned to Kyoto from Qingyang County, and she hadn''t seen her for a few days. She missed her child very much, so she went to pick up her daughter immediately. Meng Dabao originally looked forward to playing with Xiao Qingning, but every day passed, and he still didn''t see Xiao Qingning, the first friend he made in the compound. This made Meng Dabao, who is not very smart, very angry! Meng Dabao has a short-circuited thinking because of his flawed IQ, and he becomes irritable when he is unhappy. So many people in the compound have been spreading rumors recently that the stupid son of the Meng family is not only stupid, but also a little crazy. If you see him, you must stay away, otherwise the little fool might jump up and bite! Such rumors are not credible, but if they spread too much, they will be remembered in people''s hearts. Even the news that Meng Heng''s son is stupid and crazy has almost become a well-known thing in the compound! This made the children in the compound who had been avoiding Meng Dabao in the past, now avoid him even more when they saw him from a distance. Every time Meng Heng takes his son out, he can''t help feeling sorry for him. And Meng Dabao also felt that others were avoiding him, and because his friends never showed up, the little fool didn''t know when he started to become a little autistic. He who didn''t talk much in the first place kept his mouth shut. At home, Meng Heng was so worried about his son''s speech that he forgot to urge Lan Xinya to leave his house. When he realized it, he realized that it had been more than a month since he let Lan Xinya move out. This month, Liu Cui also learned from her son that Lan Xinya would leave the Meng family. But Liu Cui couldn''t wait for that day. Until one night, after Lan Xinya got off work, Meng Heng stopped him in the yard and asked him face to face, "Lan Xinya, when are you leaving?" Lan Xinya: ¡­ She hasn''t looked for a house yet, and she doesn''t want to leave. Seeing Lan Xinya''s expression, Meng Heng already understood that what Lan Xinya said before to leave was simply a lie to him! "Lan Xinya, you should leave!" Meng Heng had a tough attitude. The voice was a little louder, so Liu Cui pretended not to hear it. Liu Cui came out of the house and stood at the door of her house. She could see that her son was really going to separate from Lan Xinya. As a mother, she must help her son at a critical moment. So she said to Lan Xinya, "Xinya, my son has been single for more than two years, and it''s time for him to get out of the current life and welcome the next phase of his life." Liu Cui''s words were not too straightforward, but Lan Xinya could hear it too! Meng Heng''s mother is going to find him another wife~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 407: class visit Chapter 407 visit class For ordinary families, marrying a daughter-in-law is simply a matter of "severing the muscles and bones" of the family! After all, the bride price and other expenses are not low. But given the family conditions of the Meng family, it is really not difficult to marry a daughter-in-law again! Even though Meng Heng is a divorced second marriage head, his height and appearance are nothing to say, and his family conditions are far better than those of ordinary working families. So Lan Xinya has no doubt that after she leaves the Meng family, maybe Meng Heng will soon marry a new wife. By then, won''t her son have a stepmother? ! Lan Xinya knew very well that no matter what, the stepmother would never treat other people''s sons well. So she, who didn''t want to leave Meng''s house, couldn''t leave now! Lan Xinya looked up and looked at Liu Cui, "I don''t want to leave, I have to find a house to move out of, right?" At present, apart from this reason, Lan Xinya can''t think of any other better excuse, so for the time being, she can only say this. After hearing this, Liu Cui had no choice but to turn her head to look at her son. And Meng Heng was quite decisive this time, "Starting tomorrow, I will help you find a house!" This time, he must let Lan Xinya leave! ¡­ Two days later, Lan Xinya moved out of Meng''s house. Even if she didn''t want to, she couldn''t find fault with the two-bedroom, one-living room Meng Heng found for her near Huamei Shopping Mall, whether it was the living environment or the location of the house, so she had to move. go out. On the second day after Lan Xinya left Meng''s house, the news of Meng Heng''s divorce spread throughout the compound from Liu Cui''s mouth! If there is such a thing as divorce in someone else''s family, it is absolutely embarrassing and embarrassing, so it is best not to mention it. But Liu Cui didn''t think she looked bad at all. Instead, she wished that everyone would know that her son was single again. Liu Cui said in front of Lan Xinya that if she wanted to find a partner for her son, it was just to make Lan Xinya leave. But then she thought about it carefully, since her son is already divorced, why can''t she marry another wife? This time, their old Meng family must keep their eyes open and find a good wife who is kind and caring for the family! In Liu Cui''s eyes, although she doesn''t think that after marriage, a woman must take care of her husband and raise her children at home, but she shouldn''t ignore her children after they have children. In fact, what made Liu Cui most dissatisfied with Lan Xinya was that when her grandson was more than four months old, Lan Xinya took the child to shoot commercials in order to earn money, and finally let the child suffer from a lifetime of illness, which can never be cured again! So under Liu Cui''s publicity, less than a week after Lan Xinya moved out of Meng''s house, a matchmaker came to the door and wanted to introduce a partner to Meng Heng. Liu Cui was happy to see this. It''s a pity that Meng Heng only wants to take good care of his son now. In addition, he had a marriage with Lan Xinya before, because of Lan Xinya, he left too many bad impressions of the marriage, so he was very resistant to the remarriage in his heart, and rejected the matchmaker''s offer introduce. Although Lan Xinya left the compound, she has been paying attention to the news in the compound. When she learned that someone was going to marry Meng Heng, she was still worried for a while. Fortunately, it didn''t work out in the end! Not only did it fail this time, Lan Xinya would never let Meng Heng marry another woman! First, she doesn¡¯t want her son to have a stepmother. Second, Meng Heng used to be her man, and she doesn¡¯t allow other women to get what she once had¡ª ¡­ On the other side, after her daughter went to kindergarten and her condition stabilized, Lan Shu handed over the family affairs to Xiao Bai, and took Liu Axing on a business trip to Shencheng. During this time, Chairman Li has been in Shencheng, so when she arrived, she met with Chairman Li directly to discuss the establishment of a garment factory in Shencheng. Although Liu Axing has now worked in the group, she is in charge of the development of the garment factory, so she has quite a say in the construction of the garment factory. This time, Lan Shu brought her here mainly to see Liu Axing''s working ability, and it can also be regarded as an assessment of Liu Axing''s past work conditions. So after meeting President Li, Liu Axing was in charge of all matters related to the garment factory building a new factory in Shencheng, and Lan Shu was in charge at the back. ¡­ Shencheng is not far from Hong Kong City, and the two sides face each other across the sea. It''s a pity that Lan Shu didn''t apply for a passport before coming here, otherwise she would still have time to go to Hong Kong City for a stroll. On the third day after arriving in Shencheng, after Lan Shu handed over all the work to Liu Axing, she took the time to visit the crew of the group''s film and television company that is currently filming in Shencheng. In the past few years, the development momentum of film and television companies can be described as leaping forward! Shencheng is close to Hong Kong City, and this time the company''s project is also cooperating with actors from Hong Kong City. Lan Shu plans to go and see if there are any actors familiar to future generations. If there is, she might be able to catch up with a star and ask for an autographed photo. This can be considered as a spare time from work, she took a break from her busy schedule~ ¡­ At this time, in Shencheng, under the night sky, a fierce gun battle between the police and robbers was taking place near the coast surrounded by the filming crew. Li Xiaoyu is the heroine of this drama, although compared to the male protagonist, she is only "bordered". But she knew that this drama would allow her to successfully enter the film and television industry in Hong Kong City! This is definitely a huge jump for her acting career! Now apart from her appearance and her constantly honed acting skills, the most important thing is that the company can give her many acting opportunities. So even if her contract with the company will expire in two years, she has no plans to leave the company. The shooting of this scene ended, Li Xiaoyu put down the simulation model wooden warehouse in his hand, and went to rest aside. As soon as she turned around, she saw Lan Shu who came to visit the class! Lan Shu didn''t come here with empty hands this time. She bought a carload of drinks and had them delivered to the set, and everyone handed out a bottle. Although the visiting conditions are not comparable to those of later generations, in this day and age, a cart of drinks is not cheap. The drink is given to everyone for free, and many people will say, ''thank you''. When Li Xiaoyu saw the boss of his company coming, he immediately walked towards the boss. But the one who got to Lan Shu''s side faster than her was Xiao Hong, the leading actor of the play. "I didn''t expect the news that I came to the mainland to film would be spread so quickly?" Xiao Hong said with a helpless smile. Obviously, he thought that Lan Shu''s visit was for him. Lan Shu was not familiar with this actor, but he seemed a little familiar. On the contrary, it is the male number two, who is a well-known actor in later generations. When Xiao Hong saw the visiting girl, he just glanced at him and then looked away. Only then did he realize that the girl didn''t come to visit his class? He saw that the girl was quite beautiful. Could it be that the girl came here specially because she knew that there was a filming crew nearby today, hoping to attract the attention of the director and enter the show business circle in the future? (end of this chapter) Chapter 408: failed to be scolded Chapter 408 failed to be scolded When Xiao Hong thought about it, he suddenly felt that it was very possible! After all, the girl in front of me is really outstanding in appearance, even more beautiful than the heroine of their current show, Li Xiaoyu! So Xiao Hong asked, "Miss, are you here to find the director?" When asked, Lan Shu hesitated for a moment¡ª She came to the crew to visit the set today, because she wanted to see the shooting situation of the crew, and she didn''t have a specific person to look for. So it is not wrong to say that she came to find the director. So Lan Shu nodded and replied, "Yes, I''m here to find the director." Responding to this answer, Xiao Hong showed an expression of "as expected". Then he kindly made a point. "If you want to see the director, it''s better to be late. The director must be reviewing the filmed video at this moment, and there is no time to see anyone." Xiao Hong has been in this production crew for more than a month, and he can be said to have a good understanding of the director''s workflow. Hearing what Xiao Hong said, Lan Shu looked down at the time on the wrist watch. It''s almost ten o''clock¡ª Since she came to this world, she has given up the habit of staying up late. Originally, Lan Shu planned to come to the crew to have a look, and to learn about the progress of the filming and the filming status of the actors with the director. At half past ten, she planned to go back to the hotel to rest. But now I have to wait, and I don¡¯t know when I will wait. So Lan Shu asked the leading actor nearby, "How long does it usually take to see the director now?" "At least an hour." Xiao Hong replied. "Actually, tonight''s shooting is almost finished. After the director finishes reviewing the tape, he will need the actors to take a few more shots according to the shooting situation. When all the shooting is finished, it will probably be one or two o''clock." After finishing speaking, Xiao Hong added, "If you want to see the director, it''s best to wait until all the filming is finished tonight. At that time, the director will usually be in a good mood." Xiao Hong was talking, when Li Xiaoyu stepped forward. Li Xiaoyu heard Xiao Hong''s words and learned that the boss came to see the director today, so she immediately said, "I''ll take you to the director." Although Li Xiaoyu spoke with an obviously respectful tone, Xiao Hong is from Hong Kong and has a different accent, so he didn''t understand the details of this sentence. Xiao Hong glanced at Li Xiaoyu, then looked at the beautiful girl who came to visit the crew and wanted to meet the director, he shook his head regretfully. He felt that Li Xiaoyu brought someone to find the director at this time, it was absolutely uneasy and kind! Interrupting the director''s work status is a matter with serious consequences! The girl who followed Li Xiaoyu to meet the director, is afraid that she will be scolded by the director soon! Thinking of such a beautiful girl being scolded so bloody, Xiao Hong couldn''t bear it a little. But that''s all. People in this circle are much more complicated than imagined, and simple-minded people can''t get along. Eat a pit and gain a wisdom, this time, let¡¯s teach the fledgling newcomers a lesson~ Compared to Xiao Hong''s "seeing death but not saving", not far away, Ji Tianze, the second male lead of this show, also saw the scene where Li Xiaoyu led the visiting girl towards the director. Ji Tianze is not a nosy person, but he looked down at the drink in his hand, and thought of the girl''s act of giving things to the whole crew. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly followed Li Xiaoyu''s direction¡ª If you drank other people''s drinks by yourself, you should treat it as repaying the girl''s favor~ So, when Ji Tianze caught up with Li Xiaoyu and Lan Shu, he was about to stop Lan Shu and tell her not to disturb the director''s work. What I saw was director Ke Luo, who was always sullen and serious in the world, and stood up suddenly from the video monitor screen! His serious face instantly changed into a gentle smile, and with a humble attitude, he looked at the beautiful girl beside Li Xiaoyu. "Boss, why are you here when you are free~!" Ke Luo said flatteringly. "I''m here to do something in Shencheng, so I''ll stop by and have a look." Lan Shu said, walking to Ke Luo. Although Lan Shu rarely asks about the development of the film and television company, Lan Shu still has a deep impression of Ke Luo. Ke Luo is thirty-seven or eighteen years old this year. Before joining their film and television company, he was a cameraman. He was also one of the first people who were dragged by Lan Shu to "drive the ducks to the shelves" from other professions to director work. I didn''t expect that the mistake at the beginning would lead to director Ke Da who is now well-known in the inland film and television circle! Aside, Ji Tianze stared blankly at the scene in front of him, listening to Director Ke courteously calling the visiting girl ''boss'', and calling him ''you''... So, isn''t Li Xiaoyu doing harm? Girls come here, don''t they want to find a chance to enter the showbiz? Most importantly, she turned out to be Director Ke''s boss! The owner of the film and television company with the strongest inland resources! ? But the girl looks like she is only in her twenties. She looks very young, but she is already able to shoulder a huge film and television company? ! This made Ji Tianze amazed¡ª¡ª ¡­ Lan Shu''s side. She and Ke Luo briefly learned about the filming progress of the crew. I learned that the shooting in Shencheng is about to end, and I will go to Hong Kong City to shoot for half a month. After that, the crew can wrap up! Actors have a special temporary transit channel to the port city. When they mentioned going to the port city, Ke Luo asked casually. "Boss, if you want to go to Hong Kong City for a few days at that time, you can tell me in advance. When I declare the crew transit list of the crew, I can add someone." When Lan Shu heard this, she nodded. She didn''t say she was going, nor did she say she wouldn''t go. The current situation is that she still has something to do in Shencheng. If she is really free at that time, it would be great for her to see the current Hong Kong City~! Lan Shu has never been to Hong Kong City in later generations, but she knows that the playground in Hong Kong City is very famous. If she has a chance, she will go and have a look. If it is really fun, she will take her daughter there next time. In the distance, Xiao Hong has been paying attention to Director Ke Luo''s situation. He thought that if the girl was brought in front of the director by the scheming Li Xiaoyu, it would definitely be the result of scolding. But he saw from a distance that Director Ke not only didn''t curse, but turned towards the girl like a dog leg? Could it be that Director Ke was interested in seeing the girl''s beauty because he saw it? But the way the two get along doesn''t look alike~! So out of curiosity, Xiao Hong approached a little closer, ready to listen to the situation. As a result, what Xiao Hong heard was Director Ke yelling at the girl, "Boss!" '' After learning of the girl''s identity, Xiao Hong suddenly regretted that he hadn''t been able to communicate more with the girl just now. Otherwise, I might have made friends with the capital boss now! However, if I join in now, maybe there is still time¡ª It''s a pity that when Xiao Hong came forward, Lan Shu didn''t have time to chat with him. (end of this chapter) Chapter 409: womens friendship Chapter 409 Women''s Friendship By Lan Shu''s side, director Ke Luo was reporting to her, and even Li Xiaoyu, the heroine of the crew, could only wait on the sidelines. After finishing her work, Lan Shu stopped Ji Tianze, the second male lead of the crew not far away, and asked him, "Can you give me an autographed photo?" After the voice fell, seeing Ji Tianze''s transient expression, she was afraid that the other party would think wrong, thinking that she was interested in him and wanted to unspoken rules... So Lan Shu immediately explained! "Don''t get me wrong! I don''t have any other thoughts about you, I just... am very optimistic about your future development." Lan Shu replied calmly with a smile on her face. For this explanation, her words are absolutely true! Ji Tianze will be a famous star ten years later! Countless fans are crazy about him. So his future development prospects are really good. And now asking him for an autographed photo is just an instinctive thought of ordinary people when they see a big star. Opposite, Ji Tianze didn''t expect the boss behind Director Ke to think so highly of him! It even made him feel flattered. "Thank you for your kind words." He said, and then responded to Lan Shu''s request. "I didn''t bring a photo when I came out to film today. Next time I take a good photo, print it out and sign it before sending it to you." Facing Lan Shu, even though Ji Tianze was obviously a few years older, but because of Lan Shu''s identity, he instinctively felt an inexplicable awe towards her. Although Lan Shu was aware of this, she didn''t point it out. She nodded, "Okay, then I''ll wait to receive your autographed photo~" Xiao Hong on the side saw the interaction between the female boss and Ji Tianze, but didn''t pay attention to himself. He even wondered if the female boss had a problem with her eyesight? After all, I am the leading actor of the crew! Is my influence in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City much higher than that of Ji Tianze? But the female boss only talks to Ji Tianze. Xiao Hong even wondered if the female boss had taken a fancy to Ji Tianze''s looks? Actually, I am not bad looking, but I am not as delicate as Ji Tianze. After deliberation, Xiao Hong felt that he had guessed what the female boss was thinking. It turns out that the female boss likes this one! In the evening, Lan Shu didn''t stay with the crew for too long, so she went back to the hotel where she rested. Fortunately, her sleep quality has always been good, even in strange places, she can sleep soundly. A night without dreams... ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning, called Liu Axing, and planned to have breakfast near the hotel. As soon as the two arrived downstairs, they saw Ji Tianze in the hotel lobby. Lan Shu:? Such a coincidence? Could it be that Ji Tianze came here specially to send autographed photos? This idea only flashed in my mind, and was rejected by Lan Shu. She didn''t tell Ji Tianze where she lived last night. so¡­ Lan Shu brought Liu Axing to Ji Tianze, greeted him first, and then asked, "The staff of the film crew also live in this hotel?" "Yes, what a coincidence, Miss Lan also lives here." Ji Tianze didn''t say that, in fact, not everyone in the crew can live in such a hotel. Only a few of the main creators of the crew are here, and the rest of the staff live in a guest house with a worse environment nearby. After hearing what Ji Tianze said, Lan Shu nodded. Soon, Li Xiaoyu also went downstairs and met Lan Shu who was about to leave the hotel. When Li Xiaoyu saw Lan Shu, her instinctive sense of awe in front of her boss made her stand upright. Li Xiaoyu was about to go forward to say hello, but in the next second, Liu Axing''s exclamation sounded around¡ª "It''s Li Xiaoyu~! The little flower demon from Yaoshoulu, and Shuiyunxian from Legend of Xianxia!" Aside from work, Liu Axing usually likes to watch dramas, so she is quite familiar with the role played by Li Xiaoyu! Actually, Liu Axing, as the manager of the business department of Langu Group, has absolutely no need to see the actors of the entertainment company under her group so excited. It is because Li Xiaoyu''s filming schedule is too full, and he has not been to the group several times throughout the year. That''s why Liu Axing was so surprised when he saw Li Xiaoyu himself for the first time! Li Xiaoyu heard someone calling her name, and when she saw him standing beside her boss, she immediately stepped forward to say hello. Liu Axing was very happy, and even shook hands with Li Xiaoyu excitedly, "Hello, Li Xiaoyu, my name is Liu Axing, and I am the manager of the business department of our group." Li Xiaoyu: ¡­ As soon as the other party reported her identity, she immediately felt small. At this moment, Li Xiaoyu summed up his experience. ¡ªNever underestimate anyone around the boss, because they might also be your leader! Liu Axing and Li Xiaoyu got together and talked. Ji Tianze also politely exchanged a few words with Lan Shu to avoid the atmosphere being too cold. After Liu Axing and Li Xiaoyu finished chatting, the two of them looked like good friends, talking and laughing with each other. The friendship between women came so quickly, and within a few words, they could even make each other decide whether the other party could be in a relationship. Ji Tianze was dumbfounded at this point! He witnessed with his own eyes that Li Xiaoyu and Liu Axing met for the first time, and when they had a good relationship, they held hands and parted reluctantly. Waiting for Lan Shu to take Liu Axing out of the hotel, Ji Tianze asked Li Xiaoyu curiously, "Are you making friends with Liu Axing out of heart, or...to be polite?" Hearing Ji Tianze''s question, Li Xiaoyu felt like he was being insulted! "Do you think my sister and I are playing around?" Li Xiaoyu was very angry. "Sister? But you didn''t know each other ten minutes ago." Ji Tianze was puzzled. "Shouldn''t we be sisters after we''ve known each other for a short time?" Li Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, and couldn''t help but preach to Ji Tianze. "It''s just like you men, when you suddenly see a woman, you see it right, you fall in love at first sight, and you think it''s her. Don''t you like it because you haven''t known her for a short time?" Ji Tianze felt speechless when he heard what Li Xiaoyu said. At the same time, he suddenly understood the reason why the relationship between the women quickly improved. This is not because he has a deep understanding of someone who fell in love at first sight. But among the friends he knew, there were such people. Ji Tianze thinks of Liu Axing. Although Liu Axing looks thin and small, she actually looks good, and Liu Axing''s status is not low... Indeed, such a person will have some attraction to others. Ji Tianze felt that if he hadn''t met the more dazzling Miss Lan first, he might really pay attention to Liu Axing. Thinking of Miss Lan and Miss Lan''s expectations for her future development, Ji Tianze even had the idea of ??wanting to get more attention from Miss Lan¡ª So he subconsciously asked Li Xiaoyu beside him, "Miss Lan is so successful in her career, is there any news about her relationship?" Li Xiaoyu never expected that Ji Tianze would have such an idea that he shouldn''t have! (end of this chapter) Chapter 410: Anti-thief Chapter 410 Anti-thief "Stop! Although my boss looks very young, she is actually married and has a child, so don''t think about it!" Li Xiaoyu warned in a serious tone. Before Ji Tianze heard Li Xiaoyu''s words, he really had some budding ideas. But now, Li Xiaoyu''s words completely cut off his thoughts! Fortunately, the two still have filming work to do next, so Ji Tianze and Li Xiaoyu didn''t talk too long on the previous topic, so they went out together to have a round with the crew and continued filming. However, Ji Tianze didn''t know that the scene where he was standing and talking with Lan Shu in the lobby of the hotel just now was photographed by the paparazzi from Hong Kong City. The next day, the news that Ji Tianze had a private meeting with a beautiful woman in the hotel was reported in the Hong Kong City Entertainment Magazine¡ª At this moment, Lan Shu still doesn''t know anything about it... ¡­ Kyoto, in the past few days, besides picking up and dropping off the children on time, Xiaobai is doing research in a small laboratory for his own use at home. His house is very big. In addition to the small building of the main building, there are two auxiliary buildings on the east and west. The three-story building on the west side was renovated a year ago and used as a laboratory. Although the experimental equipment inside is not as well-equipped as the laboratory of Peking University School of Medicine, but with the financial support of Langu Group, Xiaobai''s self-use laboratory is not much worse than ordinary laboratories. Today, when Xiaobai was doing a drug synthesis experiment, suddenly, the mobile phone placed outside the sterile room rang¡ª Xiao Bai glanced at the caller ID of the mobile phone on the table outside through the window glass. It was Xue Chuang calling. As long as it''s not his wife''s phone number, it''s not that important to Xiaobai. So he didn''t rush to pick it up, but completed the experimental steps, and then went out to call back the phone. On the phone, Xue Chuang was afraid that his boss would not hear the phone ringing, so he made several calls one after another. After the fifth call was still unanswered, Xue Chuang understood that the boss either forgot to bring his mobile phone when he went out, or he didn''t take him seriously! Knowing the result, Xue Chuang was not in a hurry anymore. Anyway, after receiving the news, it is the boss who should be anxious~! So half an hour later, Xue Chuang finally received a call from his boss Gu. He then told the boss about the news he saw not long ago. In the last half month, Xue Chuang happened to be on a business trip in Hong Kong City. He didn''t expect to see a photo in a gossip magazine, his boss''s wife and the little star of Hong Kong City standing side by side. Although the photo is not very clear, Xue Chuang can be sure that he is not mistaken! After all, Ms. Lan is so beautiful, ordinary people can¡¯t compare~ In Kyoto, Xiaobai heard from Xue Chuang on the phone that Lan Shu got close to Xiaoxing in Shencheng. Let''s not say whether he is worried that such a thing will really happen, but jealousy is his first reaction! A man actually approached his wife! Xiaobai couldn''t bear it! He immediately made a few phone calls and found out about the starlet in Hong Kong City who was photographed by the paparazzi and appeared in gossip magazines. Then he went to the kindergarten to pick up his daughter, and went straight to Shencheng¡ª ¡­ One day later, Shencheng. After finishing the site selection for the garment factory, Lan Shu bought the workshop at a relatively low cost because she owns more than 30% of the shares invested by the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. The next step is to recruit workers and buy machines in Shencheng, and open the garment factory! At noon, after finishing the work at hand and having free time, Lan Shu planned to take Liu Axing to the production team to have a look. This time, she didn''t go to the director to find out about the progress of the filming. It was purely because Liu Axing was curious about the actors'' filming scenes, so she specifically asked her to see the scene of the filming. There was nothing wrong anyway, so Lan Shu brought Liu Axing here¡ª On this business trip to Shencheng, Lan Shu did not bring her driver, Master Zhang, but another Master Wang. Master Zhang has something to do at home, so he took half a month''s leave, and he hasn''t returned to work yet. Master Wang often used to drive sports cars outside, and he even knows the general road section of Shencheng better than Master Zhang. So Lan Shu and Liu Axing arrived at the filming location after a short ride. It was still afternoon at this time, and the crew was filming the overtaking scene on a closed road. Li Xiaoyu had just finished filming her part, and now she was resting aside. When she saw Lan Shu and Liu Axing coming together, she immediately stepped forward to say hello. The overtaking scene starring Xiao Hong and Ji Tianze took more than two hours to finish. Ji Tianze got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was Lan Shu who was resting on the set! He walked towards Lan Shu almost subconsciously, and said, "Miss Lan, you are here." The voice fell, and another voice sounded at the same time as his words! Near the studio, a tender and soft little girl shouted, "Mom!" Lan Shu is very sensitive to her daughter''s voice. Even though she was in Shencheng, she knew her daughter shouldn''t be here, but she still looked in the direction of the voice¡ª The next second, Lan Shu saw Xiao Bai holding her daughter''s hand and walking towards her! Being in a different place, seeing her daughter''s mood, Lan Shu immediately left everything behind and ran towards her daughter! So Ji Tianze, who had a crush on Lan Shu, saw that Miss Lan walked quickly to a man, and hugged the little girl in the man''s hand with a happy face. Who is that man to Miss Lan? Ji Tianze was thinking, when Li Xiaoyu''s answer sounded from the side. "My boss''s family of three stands together. The man is handsome, the woman is pretty, and the child is cute. It''s really pleasing to the eye~!" Hearing the voice, Li Tianze turned to look at Li Xiaoyu. Obviously, Li Xiaoyu said this for him, and the meaning was to let him not waste his time in vain. Ji Tianze was a little speechless. Although he does have a crush on Miss Lan and appreciates Miss Lan, he won''t do anything to break up other people''s families~! So Ji Tianze explained to Li Xiaoyu, "You think too much." "Did I say anything?" Li Xiaoyu pretended to be stupid, just not facing what Ji Tianze said. Seeing this, Ji Tianze didn''t say any more. It was Li Xiaoyu''s behavior of defending his boss that made Ji Tianze look at this mainland girl differently. When he first saw Li Xiaoyu, a beautiful girl, he thought she was similar to some beauties in Hong Kong City, and her beauty could allow them to get a lot of things easily. But now, in Ji Tianze''s eyes, Li Xiaoyu doesn''t have the self-willedness and coquettishness that most beauties should have. As far as she is now defending herself like a thief, Li Xiaoyu is different from many beautiful girls. Unexpectedly, Ji Tianze actually asked Li Xiaoyu, "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Huh? What?" Li Xiaoyu suddenly heard Ji Tianze''s question, and wondered if he heard it wrong? She was even more puzzled, why did Ji Tianze ask himself this question? But she still answered truthfully, "No." "Then you should consider me." Ji Tianze said with a very serious tone. (end of this chapter) Chapter 411: get out of prison Chapter 411 Get out of prison Listening to Ji Tianze''s words, Li Xiaoyu was stunned for more than ten seconds before reacting abruptly! "What did you say?" She suspected that she was hallucinating? Otherwise, why would Ji Tianze tell him to consider him after asking if he was single? Didn''t Ji Tianze have a crush on her boss? But what is the situation now? ! On the other hand, Liu Axing was surprised and excited when she saw this scene! There is a handsome looking man who is pursuing her good friend Li Xiaoyu~! She was so excited watching this scene that she couldn''t help but say "Wow~" from her mouth¡ª Although what Ji Tianze said to Li Xiaoyu was not well thought out, after he said it, he did not regret it. He can tell the difference between liking and liking. He has a crush on Miss Lan, but that feeling is not to the extent that he likes it. But Li Xiaoyu is different. Ji Tianze''s impression of Li Xiaoyu changed quite a lot, which made him even want to continue to know this girl. So he said what he wanted, and at that moment there was also an impulsive factor, and he said something that made Li Xiaoyu consider him as a boyfriend. Ji Tianze''s actions caught Li Xiaoyu off guard! After Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a short time, her heart beat faster... Ji Tianze''s appearance is undeniable, very good. As for being human... After more than a month of filming and getting along with the crew, Li Xiaoyu also recognized Ji Tianze''s character. So Li Xiaoyu''s cheeks were really hot because of Ji Tianze''s words. Maybe there is a possibility of development between them? Li Xiaoyu thought so. ¡­ On the other side, Xiaobai brings the girl to Shencheng, which surprises Lan Shu. Not long ago, director Ke of the film crew also said that there is a special channel for her to transit from Shenzhen City to Hong Kong City without a passport. Now that her husband and daughter are here, the three of them may have a chance to go to Hong Kong City to play~ Originally, Ke Luo asked the crew to bring one more person across the border, which was simple. But there are three more people at once, which is really troublesome. But because it was his boss who spoke, Ke Luo must have tried his best. Finally, he finally lived up to his entrustment and managed to add three more names to the list of crew members who crossed the border. So a few days later, after Lan Shu finished her work in Shencheng and the filming of the film crew in Shencheng finally ended, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai brought their daughter to Hong Kong City with the crew. began their several-day tour of the port city¡ª ¡­ When Lan Shu''s family of three were happily playing around in Hong Kong City. In a prison in a third- and fourth-tier city. Gu Chengxie¡¯s original ten-year prison sentence was reduced and reduced again and again because of his good performance in prison, self-study and passing the exam, and the research inventions made by more than a dozen outstanding talents from various industries he hired outside. So much so that he only stayed in prison for less than three years, and it was time for him to be released¡ª Standing in front of the prison gate, Gu Cheng walked out of the iron gate with a vicissitudes of face. On him, wearing the clothes he wore when he was in prison. A suit that is crumpled and even partially moldy. After living in prison for more than two years, now that he is released, Gu Cheng feels as if he has passed away. After going out, the first thing he does is to count his property! His real estate in Kyoto is still there, and although most of the money in the account under his name was given to the researchers who did research to reduce his sentence, he still left 300,000 to 400,000 to himself. With this money, it is enough for him to make a comeback! In addition to money, during his trip to the prison, he also met many subordinates who could be used by him in the future. When those people are released from prison one after another, they will be a great help to him! No one knew about Gu Cheng''s release from prison. After he was released from prison, he did not return to Kyoto, but went to Haicheng. What he lost in Haicheng back then, he will get back bit by bit! At this time, Xu Yunjie, whose career in Haicheng was developing smoothly, did not know that Gu Cheng, who made him instinctively afraid and obedient, was about to come back¡ª ¡­ Haicheng, Xu Yunjie is having a good life recently. The red flag at home is not down, but the colorful flags are fluttering outside, which speaks of his current living conditions. Today, he has a successful career and accumulated assets of over 100,000 yuan! In addition to Li Xiumei, the daughter-in-law who was his ox and horse at home, there were several other women who had a close relationship with him outside. Among them, Zhang Baoling, who has been with him for the longest time, also gave birth to a son for him~! Now his son is more than one year old. He looks handsome and smart, and he is taken by his mother and Zhang Baoling together. Li Xiumei knows everything about him raising a woman and having a son outside! Although Li Xiumei was dissatisfied with this, she had nothing to do with herself. After all, living under someone else''s fence is the consequence! In the past two years, there have been frequent conflicts between Li Xiumei and Xu Yunjie''s third child raised outside. In the beginning, after Mrs. Xu came to Haicheng, Li Xiumei treated his mother Xu Yunjie with heartfelt filial piety! But when Mrs. Xu learned that Li Xiumei had a health problem and would not be pregnant, and that the woman Xu Yunjie was hanging out with was pregnant with a child, Mrs. Xu devoted herself to the child in Xiaosan''s stomach¡ª Mrs. Xu greeted and cared for the mistress, and even encouraged Xu Yunjie to divorce Li Xiumei. Actually, if Xu Yunjie really wanted to divorce Li Xiumei, Li Xiumei thought about it, and she felt that she might still hesitate. If Xu Yunjie is willing to give her some money, then she will help this man and mistress! But Li Xiumei knew that Xu Yunjie wanted to humiliate her and take revenge on her! The cuckold she put on Xu Yunjie back then made him hate himself to the core! So Xu Yunjie will not let her go easily. Even Mrs. Xu didn''t know the reason for not getting a divorce. And Xiaosan tried her best to marry Xu Yunjie and enter the family in a legitimate way, but also because of Xu Yunjie''s twisted psychology towards Li Xiumei, she has not succeeded so far. So Li Xiumei''s greatest joy now is watching Xiaosan desperately wanting her current position, but unable to do anything about it. She knows that as long as the knot in Xu Yunjie''s heart cannot be untied for a day, their marriage will continue and their relationship will never end! In a few days, it will be the second birthday of Xiaosan''s son, and Li Xiumei is planning to think of a trick to make Xiaosan feel disgusted by then! But at this time, she was near her home, on the way to the vegetable market, and met the boss Xu Yunjie met at the Haicheng Restaurant and took him with him¡ª And Gu Cheng obviously also saw Li Xiumei. Gu Cheng still remembers that Li Xiumei is Xu Yunjie''s woman. Before coming here, he had already inquired. After he was imprisoned, with the bankruptcy of the real estate company and the closure of the electrical company, Xu Yunjie was the one who made the biggest profit! Xu Yunjie deserves to be his assistant who was taken by his side in the past. This person has a flexible mind, knows how to judge the situation, seize every possibility, and create opportunities for himself! That''s why Xu Yunjie is now successful in his career. (end of this chapter) Chapter 412: Behind the scenes Chapter 412 Behind the calculations Xu Yunjie''s success started by stepping on the fallen self, which made Gu Cheng very mindful. So he came this time to meet Xu Yunjie and take Xu Yunjie back into his hands! If Xu Yunjie obeys, then I will continue to lead him to do it. Conversely, if Xu Yunjie refuses to obey, then he will be the first to "surge" Xu Yunjie on his new start in Haicheng! On the night Li Xiumei met Gu Cheng, Xu Yunjie also met his former boss. Gu Cheng wanted to meet Xu Yunjie and asked Li Xiumei to lead the way, and the reward was 100 yuan. For the one hundred yuan, Li Xiumei took Gu Cheng to the house where Xu Yunjie and Xiao San lived without hesitation. Because Xiaosan gave birth to Xu Yunjie''s son, Xu Yunjie usually went back to his and Xiaosan''s home directly after work. Xu Yunjie hasn''t seen Gu Cheng for a long time! Gu Cheng is clear about the result of his ten-year prison sentence. I thought that when Gu Cheng came out from the inside, he was already in a middle-aged state, and he would never have a chance to make a fortune. Didn''t expect Gu Cheng to be released after serving his sentence? At this moment, Xu Yunjie was almost certain that Gu Cheng spent money to get himself out of prison~! And Gu Cheng found himself immediately after he came out, what was he going to do? Could it be that after Gu Cheng knew that the real estate company had closed down, he used his relationship to gather the construction site workers who were about to be disbanded, and continued to work in the construction industry through Gu Cheng''s previous experience? Still knowing that later on, he made connections with the original Gu Chengzheng, and got better and better in this line of work? In short, Xu Yunjie also understands that there must be no good for Gu Cheng to come to him! Sure enough, Xu Yunjie heard Gu Cheng say, "I''ll give you a chance to continue following me." Xu Yunjie:? ? ? Although he still has an instinctive fear and desire to surrender when he sees Gu Cheng, Xu Yunjie is not irrational. A person who came out of prison, no matter how good he was before, still has a criminal record and will be discriminated against for anything he does. Gu Cheng like this is still qualified to be his own boss, why let him follow him? So Xu Yunjie rejected the ''opportunity'' that Gu Chengkuang promised to give him on the spot! "Boss Gu, I''m doing a good job now, so I don''t need you to worry about it." The implication is that Xu Yunjie wants to be the boss himself, so he will not be inferior to others and become the younger brother. Seeing this, Gu Cheng turned and left without saying anything. One month later, there was an accident on the construction site contracted by Xu Yunjie. A worker fell from upstairs and broke his leg. The worker''s family approached Xu Yunjie and demanded compensation for medical expenses and later maintenance expenses. Xu Yunjie didn''t want to cause trouble, and the other party was indeed a worker who had worked under him for more than a year, so he paid 12,000 in one lump sum according to the family''s request. But things are not over yet. In less than a week, another worker had an accident while working on the construction site. The head upstairs fell and hit his head! Fortunately, the workers were wearing hard hats during the construction process, but even so, the plastic helmets were smashed, and the workers had a big hole in their heads, and blood flowed all over their faces. After being sent to the hospital, the person was already unconscious. After various examinations, the doctor diagnosed that there was a blood clot in the injured person''s head, which had compressed the nerves, so that the originally healthy person now looked neurotic, dazed and talking nonsense to himself. There were two problems on the construction site before and after, which made Xu Yunjie realize that something was wrong! Even so, he couldn''t ignore the second worker who hit his head because of a work-related injury. Fortunately, here is Haicheng, and the medical technology is considered to be a leading group in China. Xu Yunjie spent nearly 10,000 yuan on surgery and medical expenses. Just when he was about to investigate the cause of frequent accidents among workers, another worker had an accident at another construction site where he was contracted to work! A worker in his 40s or 50s, who was usually in good health, suddenly died suddenly while doing heavy work! On the second day after the person died, three or four people from the family members of the deceased came and demanded compensation! This time, even if Xu Yunjie wanted to make a big deal smaller, it was impossible for someone to die! After several days of "pull and pull" with the family members of the deceased, he finally negotiated the funeral fee from the 30,000 yuan requested by the family members to 23,000 yuan. These three accidents on the construction site directly caused Xu Yunjie to lose one-third of his original deposit of more than 100,000 yuan! With frequent accidents, Xu Yunjie knew that someone must be plotting against him behind his back! And the cruelty of that person made him even a little scared¡ª Broken legs, split heads, and in the end, directly killed people! The other party didn''t seem to be afraid of making things worse at all, and he didn''t care about other people''s life or death at all. If such a person used those ruthless tricks on him casually, Xu Yunjie felt that he would not be able to bear it. At this time, he thought of Gu Cheng. The accident happened to the workers on the construction site, could it have something to do with Gu Cheng? But does Gu Cheng have such great ability? Xu Yunjie had followed Gu Cheng for a while at the beginning, and he knew that Gu Cheng was rich and prosperous entirely because of Gu Cheng''s business acumen. Although Gu Cheng is not an upright and good person, he always has a lot of relationship with some public officials, but when doing business, he is still a good citizen who abides by the law. At least the money Gu Cheng earns on a daily basis is not lacking in taxation at all. So Xu Yunjie is very suspicious, is the accident of his construction site workers really related to Gu Cheng? Just as Xu Yunjie was considering this possibility, Gu Cheng appeared in front of him again. He only had one sentence to Xu Yunjie, "I''ll give you another chance to continue following me." Gu Cheng said these words, what else could Xu Yunjie not understand? The three injured on his construction site must have something to do with Gu Cheng! It was only this time that Xu Yunjie truly realized the transformation of Gu Cheng after he was released from prison. The prison life of the past three years seems to have made this law-abiding man go to extremes¡ª¡ª Faced with Gu Cheng''s choice, even if Xu Yunjie is unwilling, he must bow to Gu Cheng. Otherwise, with the few savings in his hands, he might not be able to last for a month, and he would be wiped out by what Gu Cheng did! He still wants to keep this little money in his hands~ So Xu Yunjie didn''t underestimate Gu Cheng''s idea any more. Regarding the "opportunity" Gu Cheng gave him, he showed his best attitude and replied in a humble way, "Boss, you used to be my boss. Still doing it with you!" After finishing speaking, Xu Yunjie also flattered him by the way. "I was short-sighted before and missed the opportunity. Fortunately, the boss is magnanimous and still thinks of me. From now on, I will follow the boss to make a lot of money!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 413: craft Chapter 413 Craftsmanship Xu Yunjie''s words are not only an absolute obedience to Gu Cheng, but also a hint. He told Gu Cheng that it was okay to follow Gu Chengqian himself. But he wants to make money! If he can''t make money, then there''s no need for him to invest in Gu Cheng. After all, with the tens of thousands of dollars left in his hands, as long as he leaves Haicheng and returns to his hometown to live, he will not be able to spend it all in ten years! Of course Gu Cheng could hear what Xu Yunjie meant. He looked at Xu Yunjie calmly, and said, "Let me see your value, as long as your value matches what you are after, you will be able to achieve what you want." Xu Yunjie understands~ He immediately smiled more flatteringly at Gu Cheng, and instantly changed his identity, from a successful contractor with a group of people before, to now just a dog of Gu Cheng. At this moment, he answered Gu Cheng''s words even more humblely, "Don''t worry, boss, I will work hard with you~" Seeing that Xu Yunjie is so knowledgeable about current affairs, Gu Cheng nodded in satisfaction. In Haicheng, Gu Cheng subdued Xu Yunjie and restarted his business plan. On the other side, in Shencheng, after Lan Shu''s family of three returned from a trip to Hong Kong City, the branch factory of Yunshu Garment Factory in Shencheng opened soon! ¡­ After the reform and opening up, people''s lives are getting better and better. Under the influence of the overall environment, the consumption of ordinary people has also been greatly promoted! Before Lan Shu plans to open a clothing factory in Shencheng, even if her clothing factory in Qingyang County has been expanded several times, there will be pressure on the supply of directly-operated stores in the entire clothing market. So Lan Shu didn''t hesitate to open a branch of Yunshu Garment Factory here in Shencheng, and directly ordered large-scale ones! After the opening of the clothing factory, Lan Shu also plans to export clothing to foreign countries in addition to the domestic clothing market. She remembered hearing people say that foreign countries have a great demand for domestic clothing! Especially Europeans are very keen on jeans. At the beginning of the 20th century, even many Europeans came to China to travel, and when they returned, they brought jeans in large and small bags. Lan Shu thought it was funny at the time, but now it is a business opportunity! The newly opened garment factory went from simple decoration, machine entry, to recruitment, under the close arrangement of Liu Axing, within half a month, the wheels of the sewing machine officially turned! The opening of the Shenzhen branch of Yunshu Garment Factory has solved the employment problem of hundreds of people, and made a certain contribution to the development of the initial flow of people in Shenzhen. Because of the scale of Yunshu Garment Factory, it is the factory that recruits the most workers among the large and small factories in Shencheng, which has not yet been fully developed. Therefore, at the end of the year, Lanshu also received a pennant from the Shencheng official for her. In addition to the charity organization led by Lan Shu before, it has been running well and helped many people affected by the disaster. Before the end of the year, even in Kyoto, an officially recognized pennant was awarded to her. Around the end of this year, the name Lan Shu became a representative of domestic conscientious business enterprises mainly promoted by the official media as publicity. Even Xiaobai, who has developed a variety of special medicines and helped countless patients recover from their illnesses in the past two years, has been severely overshadowed by her limelight! ¡­ In Kyoto, the snow fell relatively late this winter. In previous years, one month before New Year''s Eve, Kyoto has already entered the white winter. But this year, the snowflakes did not fall profusely until New Year''s Eve. Chang''an Road, the home of Lanshu and Xiaobai. Because she was too busy this year, Lan Shu didn''t go back to Qingyang County during the Chinese New Year, so on New Year''s Eve, the family of three sat in the living room watching TV and watched the New Year. This year is different from previous years. On New Year¡¯s Eve, the Spring Festival Gala will be on TV for the first time to meet people from all over the country. Lan Shu had actually received the news about the Spring Festival Gala three months ago. As the program producer of the TV station, although Lan Shu is very busy on weekdays, she has not lost the job of the TV station. This Spring Festival Gala, the morning aerobics program group of their TV station also released a New Year''s Eve program. Because Li Xiaoyu usually spends most of her time outside filming, she has long since stopped working as an aerobics actor on TV. The remaining three aerobics performers have been working like a day for several years. Under Lan Shu''s arrangement, they supported the entire morning show, and now they have successfully appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. In the first year of the Spring Festival Gala, everyone had no experience, and it was almost ''crossing the river by feeling the stones''. So in addition to the performances, at the end of the Spring Festival Gala, everyone even sat down and chatted at random. Looking at the relaxed and joyful attitudes of the hosts and performers on TV, Lan Shu found it both funny and awed by the coming age. Years later, although the program of the Spring Festival Gala has become more and more diverse, it feels that it has become a standard model. At that time, how many people came to this day, and they no longer had the original intention of staying up late to watch programs, but most of them turned on the TV and played with their mobile phones. The Spring Festival Gala at that time had already become the backdrop for the Chinese New Year, and it didn¡¯t matter whether you watched it or not. On the sofa, Xiao Qingning couldn''t stand it anymore when the show was halfway through, and fell asleep in her mother''s arms. Seeing this, Xiao Bai carefully carried her daughter upstairs, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. Downstairs, during the alone time between the husband and wife, the warmth and affection... ¡­ The next morning, the family of three set off for the elders¡¯ home as they did on the first day of the new year. However, this year is slightly different from previous years. I used to go to the Gu family, but today I went to the Wei family. Lan Shu''s in-laws, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo also went back to see their elders, so the three generations simply reunited together. Z district compound, Wei''s house. When Lan Shu''s family of three arrived, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were already busy preparing ingredients for lunch in the yard. Gu Anguo takes care of such dirty things as plucking chicken feathers and scraping fish scales. Wei Qiushuang was responsible for the light work of picking and washing vegetables. Originally, the husband and wife planned to make lunch at noon, but Liu Qi drove them out of the kitchen in disgust. In Liu Qi''s words, "As far as the cooking skills of the two of you are concerned, you can eat them normally, so let''s forget about the reunion dinner~!" Lan Shu saw that the elders of the whole family were busy, and wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by the most authoritative old man Wei in the family to play chess with him. Originally, Xiaobai should be responsible for things like playing chess with grandpa. But since Lan Shu came to see the old man at home last time, and accidentally unlocked backgammon for the old man, the old man who usually takes time to play chess has become interested in backgammon. But Lan Shu is good at playing backgammon, so the old man loves to play with her. Lan Shu played chess, while Xiao Bai consciously went to the kitchen to help grandma cook. Xiaobai''s cooking skills were blown to the sky by Wei Qiushuang! At first, Li Qi heard that his grandson cooks well, but he didn''t take it seriously. She knew that her grandson Gu Jue would be a big dish in the army. Can you talk about good cooking skills? That''s really not the case. However, once when Liu Qi went to Lanshu and Xiaobai''s house to visit his great-granddaughter, Xiaobai happened to be at home and showed off his cooking skills. So Wei Qiushuang couldn''t get her mother''s approval for preparing the reunion dinner in the kitchen, but Xiaobai managed to handle the cooking in front of grandma! (end of this chapter) Chapter 414: marriage Chapter 414 Marriage This year''s New Year''s Day, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai spent a happy reunion with the elders of the family, and Xiao Qingning collected the lucky money to his heart''s content. On the other side of Haicheng, Gu Cheng was alone. The Gu family didn''t know about his release from prison, let alone the Wei family! Who would have thought that a person who should have been imprisoned for ten years would be released seven years early? In the past few months from his release from prison to the Chinese New Year, Gu Cheng has gathered some people under his command. Some of them helped him in his career development, and some were in charge of doing some secret calculations and things that were not on the table. In a few months, Gu Cheng reopened the real estate company. Although the scale is not as brilliant as before, it is the limit of his current ability to use funds to operate. As for the electrical company... Because the purchase channel he established in the electrical appliance factory earlier was obtained through the relationship of the Wei family. After he was imprisoned, his electrical appliance company closed down, and the vacated market share had already been divided up by his peers. Therefore, Gu Cheng wanted to start an electrical appliance company again, but it was hard work and he could not get much good. So he simply gave up this area completely and concentrated on real estate business. Xu Yunjie deserves to be his right-hand man. Under Gu Cheng''s mind and connections, Xu Yunjie, who has been a contractor for several years, has been given a lot of room to display his abilities honed in the construction industry over the years. With Xu Yunjie as Gu Cheng''s right-hand man, soon, Gu Cheng''s career may soon "fly up" again¡ª ¡­ When Gu Cheng¡¯s business started again, Huamei Shopping Center in Kyoto. Lan Xinya''s clothing business has also seen some good changes recently. In contrast, she is getting busier and busier, and she goes to Haicheng to buy more and more frequently. So Lan Xinya hired a clerk to help her sell goods in the store, and she had to go to Haicheng twice a month. Going a lot, by chance, Lan Xinya met Gu Cheng in Haicheng. Lan Xinya knew about Gu Cheng''s imprisonment, but she didn''t expect Gu Cheng to come out now? Thinking of the relationship between her and Gu Cheng, Lan Xinya stepped forward and said hello to Gu Cheng, "Gu Cheng, long time no see." Hearing someone call his name, Gu Cheng stopped and glanced at Lan Xinya. Today''s Lan Xinya has lost her gentle and ladylike appearance, and she has also lost her slender figure. With her thick and round body, Gu Cheng didn''t even recognize her at a glance. Gu Cheng just glanced at the other party, then glanced away, busy with other things and left in a hurry. After Lan Xinya received such cold treatment, she suddenly remembered that her current self has changed a lot from before! So she stopped calling Gu Cheng, but lowered her head in shame, looking at her thick waist and thick thighs, Lan Xinya suddenly had the idea of ??losing weight while pursuing to make money. Can my figure be restored to before? I heard that Lan Shu was also a fat person when she was in the village a few years ago, but she lost weight successfully later on. Is it okay for me? After having this idea, Lan Xinya also began to work hard for it. After returning to Kyoto, Lan Xinya began to cut her meal in half. This time she was determined to lose weight! The method of eating less to lose weight didn''t last long before Lan Xinya gave up. Now, she has to go to the store to sell goods every day. If she doesn''t eat enough, she will soon be hungry and panic, and she will have no energy to do business later. So Lan Xinya only persisted for a week before she reached her limit. Afterwards, she continued to eat normally, without losing any weight. Lan Xinya, who has accepted her fate for her figure, has only one thought now, and that is to make more money. Not long after, Lan Xinya suddenly got the news that Meng Heng was getting married soon¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, Z district compound, Meng''s house. The news that Meng Heng is going to get married is true, and he and the woman have developed to the point of getting engaged with a bride price. Sun Yuan met Meng Heng by chance on a blind date. Her blind date is not Meng Heng, but a man in the same courtyard as Meng Heng, a man in his thirties. Sun Yuan is twenty-seven years old this year and has never been married. She is definitely an old girl at this age, so the conditions for a blind date are not that good. This condition is not about family background, but about the person and appearance of the other party. Sun Yuan did not meet her partner on a blind date. When she was about to go back, she met Meng Heng who was walking with her son in the compound. Meng Heng is tall and powerful, and his appearance is also the current mainstream type with correct facial features. He looks very reliable. When Sun Yuan saw Meng Heng, although she would not fall in love with a man with a child at first sight, the matchmaker beside her said something¡ª "The son of the old Meng family is really pitiful. The daughter-in-law he married stays away all day, and the child he gave birth to is a fool. He was a big man who raised him up since he was a child." "Now that he and his wife are divorced, I don''t know if there will be any woman willing to be his stupid son''s stepmother in the future." Hearing the matchmaker''s pitiful tone, Sun Yuan walked towards Meng Heng, stood in front of Meng Heng, and introduced herself generously. "Hello, my name is Sun Yuan. I am 27 years old and single. Can we make friends?" The relationship between Meng Heng and Sun Yuan is a typical woman who takes the initiative first, and then Meng Heng also looks at her differently because of Sun Yuan''s directness and boldness. The two didn''t talk about their relationship from the very beginning. As they got to know each other better, Meng Heng''s rejection of marriage after being hurt once was slowly changed by Sun Yuan. Besides, Sun Yuan is also very kind to his son, and doesn''t dislike Dabao''s lack of intelligence at all. Afterwards, the relationship between the two went from being erroneous at the beginning to becoming a matter of course later. ¡­ On the other hand, when Meng Heng was about to get married, the lives of the Lan family and Lan Xiuming had reached the point where they were talking about marriage. In these years, Lan Xiuming''s relationship has been blank. Although the family will not urge him to start a family, but seeing that the second child in the family is about to turn 30, it is a lie for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang to say that they are not in a hurry! Lan Xiuming''s girlfriend is a nurse in their hospital. An intern transferred to the hospital two years ago, she has had a lot of interactions with Lan Xiuming at work, and the two belonged to a long-term relationship. Lan Xiuming didn''t know the situation at the girl''s house, he only knew that he and Tian Na liked each other. So the relationship between the two officially began. When the two parents met and discussed the marriage, Lan Xiuming discovered that his girlfriend Tian Na was actually the daughter of the deputy mayor of Linjiang City! Tian Na was able to enter the First People''s Hospital of Linjiang City because she did not rely on her family relationship at all, so no one in the hospital knew her identity at this level. Deputy Mayor Tian learned that his daughter had a boyfriend. In fact, he had someone check Lan Xiuming''s details earlier. Knowing that Lan Xiuming is not only an excellent doctor in the hospital, Lan Xiuming''s family also runs a fried chicken restaurant business. In addition, Lan Xiuming turned out to be one of their representatives in Linjiang City, Lan Shu''s older brother! After learning about this, Deputy Mayor Tian stopped asking about his daughter''s relationship situation and supported it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 415: just met someone I like Chapter 415 I just met someone I like The marriage between the Lan family and the Tian family was decided in this way. After the two parties discussed the time of the wedding, it was set at the beginning of May. When Lan Shu heard the news, she said that she would definitely go there. As for the wedding gift for my second brother... Although Lan Shu is well-off now, the gift money she prepared for her second brother will be the same as when her eldest brother got married, only 1,000 yuan. For her brothers, she treats them equally. But apart from the money that comes with the gift, she can also play freely in other aspects. For example, arrange a mobile phone worth five or six thousand yuan for the second brother as a wedding gift from the younger sister to the second brother. The eldest brother is now the boss, and he also needs a mobile phone for easy contact, so while arranging a mobile phone for the second brother, the eldest brother also has one. As for her third brother Lan Sibo, there is no need for Lan Shu to arrange it. The third brother already has a mobile phone in his hand, so it was arranged by the unit. Lan Shu has heard that the new breed of hybrid pig raised by the third brother won a bonus last year, and now the third brother is already an expert in the research of hybrid pig breeding. In addition to the mobile phone, Lan Shu explained to the security department of the group in advance that his second brother''s wedding car must be ready when he gets married. Nowadays, on the scale of a toilet paper factory and a garment factory, there are cars in both factories that are usually used as leaders. There are four cars in the factory in Qingyang County, plus the special cars of the cosmetics company and the film and television company in Kyoto, Lan Shu can scrape together eight cars to support her brother when his second brother gets married! There are still more than two months before the wedding of the Lan family and the Tian family. In the capital, Meng Heng and Sun Yuan''s marriage has been finalized and will take place at the end of March. When Lan Xinya got the news, Meng Heng was going to get married in half a month... When Lan Xinya thinks about Meng Heng marrying another woman, she feels as if a nail has grown in her heart! She can''t see that after she and Meng Heng separated, Meng Heng found happiness, and she worked hard to make money by opening a shop. So Lan Xinya went to the Meng family! ¡­ Meng''s house, on the day Lan Xinya visited, Liu Cui was preparing lunch in the kitchen. At noon, her future daughter-in-law will come to the house for dinner, so Liu Cui is very concerned about the dishes cooked today. The door of the house was unlocked, Lan Xinya pushed the door and walked in, as if this was her own home. She crossed the yard, walked into the living room on the first floor of the Meng family, sat on the sofa unceremoniously, and waited for the Meng family to find her. Before coming here, Lan Xinya had already made up her mind that if Meng Heng must marry another woman, she would tell the Meng family that she would take her son away! Lan Xinya was sure that her son Meng Dabao was the Meng family''s favorite, even if her son was not smart, he was still treated as a treasure by the Meng family. She didn''t really want to take her son away, but she just said that so that the Meng family would be wary and Meng Heng would not be able to remarry. In the kitchen, Liu Cui was busy, so she didn''t hear Lan Xinya''s footsteps in the living room. After a while, Meng Heng came in with his fianc¨¦e. The two were chatting and laughing, but when they saw Lan Xinya, an uninvited guest, sitting on the sofa at home, all the softness on Meng Heng''s face disappeared! "Why are you here!" Meng Heng had a cold face, with boredom in his voice. Lan Xinya felt slightly displeased when she saw that Meng Heng''s attitude was obviously not welcoming to her. But she didn''t come here today to argue with Meng Heng, but because of Meng Heng''s remarriage. Lan Xinya turned her head and looked at the woman beside Meng Heng. This is a girl with a slender figure, long hair and shawls, and a face that can''t be described as exquisite and beautiful, but has good features, and a girl with a small family spirit on her body. Such a girl, with a little makeup on her face, looks no worse than when she was the most beautiful in the past! At this moment, Lan Xinya felt a little jealous. Her beauty is no longer there, but Meng Heng can continue to find good-looking women by her side, which makes her feel very unfair! Besides, Meng Heng saw Lan Xinya''s gaze on Sun Yuan, he immediately frowned, subconsciously took half a step forward, and blocked Sun Yuan behind him. Sun Yuan can guess Lan Xinya''s identity from Lan Xinya''s figure, her appearance in Meng''s house, and Meng Heng''s attitude towards her. Is this the ex-wife of Meng Heng mentioned by the matchmaker? Sun Yuan never thought that Meng Heng''s conditions would fall in love with such a woman. Although she heard from the matchmaker that Meng Heng''s ex-wife became fatter and fatter after marriage, and she was also a beautiful girl before marriage. But Sun Yuan felt that a woman who couldn''t even control her body, with such a disposition, how could she control her own life? However, Sun Yuan is also thankful that Lan Xinya''s self-degradation and irresponsibility to the family made Meng Heng despise her. Finally, I will have the opportunity to meet Meng Heng, and I will marry Meng Heng soon. Sun Yuan is not the kind of woman who needs a man to protect her, so after Meng Heng subconsciously protected her, she quickly stepped forward and stood beside Meng Heng, naturally holding Meng Heng''s hand. She looked at Lan Xinya politely, and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Meng Heng''s fianc¨¦e, and my name is Sun Yuan." Sun Yuan introduced her identity and expressed her position as soon as they met. She seemed to be telling Lan Xinya, ''Even if you and Meng Heng had a close relationship before, so what? The woman next to Meng Heng is me, and I am the other half who will accompany Meng Heng for the rest of his life. '' Lan Xinya was slightly taken aback by Sun Yuan''s attitude¡ª She suddenly discovered that, compared to the Meng family who are easy to deal with, the women around Meng Heng are not easy to mess with now! Because of this, she couldn''t let Meng Heng marry this woman! Otherwise, wouldn''t the Meng family want this woman to be the master? ! Once the Meng family has a mistress, it will be difficult for him to have any say in the Meng family in the future! So Lan Xinya didn''t talk to Sun Yuan, but looked at Meng Heng. "You want to find a stepmother for my son?" This scene of being questioned by his ex-wife would make any man feel guilty after hearing it. But Meng Heng didn''t feel that he had done anything wrong. Because Lan Xinya did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother. "I just met someone I like and want to get married." Meng Heng replied. Hearing Meng Heng''s resolute tone, Sun Yuan at the side looked at the man she had chosen and smiled gratifiedly. It was because of this that she chose Meng Heng. Even if Meng Heng is divorced and has children, she doesn''t mind. When Lan Xinya heard what Meng Heng said, she was filled with anger! In desperation, she had no choice but to come up with the rhetoric she had thought up before she came¡ª "Meng Heng! No stepmother will be nice to other people''s sons. My Dabao is not smart in the first place. After having a stepmother, he will be bullied even more! So I don''t allow you to marry another woman!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 416: childs rebuttal Chapter 416 The child''s rebuttal For Lan Xinya''s obsessive thoughts, Meng Heng frowned and didn''t intend to tangle with her. "Who I want to marry is my business." He said. "If you want to marry another woman, I will take Dabao away from the Meng family!" Lan Xinya said firmly. Meng Heng did not expect that Lan Xinya would try to threaten him. But such a threat didn''t work at all for him, and he didn''t take it seriously. "You want to take Dabao away, do you have the time and energy to raise him and take care of him?" Meng Heng calmly stated a fact. Lan Xinya was at a loss for words! Beside Meng Heng, Sun Yuan was worried that Meng Heng would hesitate when she first heard Lan Xinya''s words. But now, Meng Heng''s answer made Sun Yuan understand what her man gave her a sense of security. With Meng Heng firmly with her, Sun Yuan has nothing to worry about. She met Lan Xinya''s gaze and spoke softly. "Ms. Lan Xinya, when I marry Meng Heng, although I will be Dabao''s stepmother, I can guarantee that I will not treat Dabao badly. I will raise Dabao as my own son." "So the thing you are worried about about the stepmother treating other people''s children will never happen!" "You sound nice!" Lan Xinya yelled at Sun Yuan''s words. In addition to not believing that Sun Yuan would treat other people''s sons as her own, she was also worried that if Sun Yuan really treated her Dabao well, what would happen if Dabao only recognized his stepmother instead of his biological mother? So Sun Yuan is simply a huge threat to Lan Xinya! Lan Xinya turned her head, she didn''t want to talk to Sun Yuan, but looked at Meng Heng again, "Why do you think I don''t have time to take care of the children?" "Do you have time to take care of the children?" Meng Heng asked calmly. He and Lan Xinya have been husband and wife for several years, and they know very well that Lan Xinya''s pursuit of money is greater than anything else. If it wasn''t because Lan Xinya didn''t care about her son, he wouldn''t have divorced Lan Xinya in the end. So Meng Heng knew very well that Lan Xinya didn''t have time to take care of her son. Even if she had time, she would not take the patience to take care of Dabao who is not smart and whose reactions are half a beat slower than normal children. Across from each other, Lan Xinya was quite stubborn in the face of doubts, "I have time! I will take Dabao away today!" Lan Xinya''s words are more about the purpose of provoking generals. Meng Heng frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although he was unwilling in his heart, in the end he seemed to answer Lan Xinya straightforwardly, "Then take Dabao away." Meng Heng was reluctant for his son to follow Lan Xinya, but he knew that Lan Xinya had figured this out, so he used his son''s fate to force himself not to get married. Meng Heng has already chosen Sun Yuan, and he will never let down this good girl. And he also knew that Lan Xinya''s threat to him was just a threat. As long as she acts like she doesn''t care whether her son leaves or not, Lan Xinya will definitely shake her mind. Sure enough, Lan Xinya widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard that Meng Heng had a new wife and didn''t even have a son. "Meng Heng! I didn''t expect that I misread you before!" It was Meng Heng who answered Lan Xinya with an impatient attitude, "If you have time to take care of the children, then take Dabao away." Meng Heng''s behavior of repeatedly pushing his son away finally convinced Lan Xinya of Meng Heng''s dislike for Dabao. This is what Lan Xinya didn''t think of at first. But now, she suddenly wanted to understand why Meng Heng was so ruthless¡ª If she had brought a silly son with her every day, she would feel pain, disappointment, and anger after a long time. Plus, now that Meng Heng is about to have a new marriage, it will be very easy to have a child with Sun Yuan without defects in the future! At that time, Lao Meng''s family will have a new grandson, so it doesn''t matter whether the stupid grandson stays or not. Thinking of this, Lan Xinya sternly said to Meng Heng, "It''s impossible for you to abandon your son! You are the father of the child, and you must contribute your money and energy to raise the son in the future!" Speaking, Lan Xinya directly changed her original intention of coming to Meng''s house today. "I want me to take Dabao away so that you can marry and live with other women smoothly, that''s impossible!" Lan Xinya''s voice was full of resentment. "I will not take Dabao away! I want Dabao to stay in the Meng family. Even if you marry another woman, there will always be a son born between you and me!" Saying that, Lan Xinya looked at Sun Yuan beside Meng Heng. "I will come to see my son every month from now on. If you dare to do anything bad to my son, I will definitely not forgive you!" After finishing speaking, Lan Xinya gave Sun Yuan a hard look, then got up from the sofa in Meng''s house, bumped Meng Heng away with her shoulder, and walked out the door. From the beginning to the end, she came here, but she didn''t want to go to see her son. Lan Xinya walked out of the gate of Meng''s house, just in time to see Meng''s father, Meng Xiang, bringing his grandson back. Seeing this, Lan Xinya walked quickly to her son, knelt down in front of Meng Dabao, and met her son''s eyes. "Dabao, mother loves you, but your father wants to find you a stepmother, who will treat you badly, bully you, beat you..." "Lan Xinya, what nonsense are you talking about!" Meng Xiang first saw Lan Xinya coming, thinking she was here to see her son. But now, instigating a child to hate the stepmother as soon as they meet is definitely not something a good mother would do! Meng Xiang''s reprimand did not stop Lan Xinya from brainwashing Meng Dabao. "Dabao, only mother loves you in this world, and your father has a new wife, so he doesn''t want you anymore¡ª" "Lan Xinya! How can you say such a thing?" Even if Meng Xiang had a good temper, he couldn''t bear to listen to Lan Xinya''s words. My ex-daughter-in-law in front of me not only abetted his grandson, but also provoked the father-son relationship between his son and grandson! Meng Xiang couldn''t bear it anymore, bent down to pick up his precious grandson, and was about to leave from here! But he hadn''t taken a few steps when the voice of his usually taciturn grandson came to his ears¡ª "Auntie, good." Meng Dabao said. In the past few months, besides his father, Meng Dabao also has a beautiful aunt. Every time the beautiful aunt comes, she will bring him delicious food and small toys. The beautiful aunt will talk to him patiently, with a soft tone, as if she is someone else''s mother. Meng Dabao has never felt a mother''s love since he was a child, so he is very happy that the beautiful aunt is sincerely close to him. He also hopes that the beautiful aunt can stay at his house all the time. He has a stupid mouth and can''t say anything, but he knows it all in his heart. Therefore, when his mother said that the beautiful aunt would bully and beat him, Meng Dabao had the idea of ??not believing or agreeing. ¡®Auntie, good. '' This is his impression of the aunt next to his father. It was also the young him, the first time he refuted his mother''s attitude. (end of this chapter) Chapter 417: Meet and recognize Chapter 417 Meet and recognize Although Meng Dabao''s words were not loud, she could hear Lan Xinya clearly because she was not far away. Lan Xinya did not expect that Sun Yuan had already won the heart of her son before she married into the Meng family. In this way, her son will get closer to his stepmother and listen to his stepmother when he gets along with Sun Yuan every day in the future. And estranged from his biological mother¡ª Thinking of this, Lan Xinya''s face suddenly turned cold. She looked at her son with a serious expression, took two steps forward, and grabbed Meng Dabao''s small arm, "Dabao, do you want a mother or an aunt?" After finishing speaking, she did not forget to add, "If you choose Auntie, you will never see your mother again!" Lan Xinya is forcing a child under the age of four to make a choice! Hearing what his mother said, Meng Dabao was taken aback, with a trace of confusion appearing on his little face... Although he didn''t know why he chose Auntie, so he couldn''t see his mother, but he still used his brain that was much slower than ordinary people to think about this problem. But he is still too young after all, this problem is a very troubled thing for him, he can''t make a choice. Fortunately, Meng Xiang on the side would never let his grandson make such a choice. Meng Xiang glanced at Lan Xinya angrily, and said ''huh! ¡¯ with a cry, and then went home with his grandson in his arms. He pushed the gate of Meng¡¯s courtyard hard, shutting Lan Xinya out completely¡ª ¡­ A week later, before the big happy event, the Meng family celebrated Meng Dabao''s fourth birthday. Four-year-old Meng Dabao saw a cake specially given to him by Aunt Sun Yuan on his birthday. Except when he was one year old, this was the first time Meng Dabao saw a cake on his birthday. He didn¡¯t remember his first birthday. When he was two or three years old, around his birthday, he happened to be sick. Plus, the Meng family is not the kind of ceremonial temperament, so no birthday cake was prepared for him. The cake was delicious, with the fragrant and sweet cream, which made Meng Dabao eat all over his face. He smiled happily, as if today was his happiest day. ¡­ Three days later, it was the day when Meng Heng and Sun Yuan got married. Although Meng Heng was married twice, the Meng family never wronged Sun Yuan because of this. The Meng family''s wedding was also held in the Kyoto Hotel, and many guests were invited to watch the ceremony. Among them, the Gu family also received the invitation. Wei Qiushuang grew up in the courtyard of District Z, and she was a neighbor to the Meng family, so when her son Gu Jue got married, there was someone from the Meng family. Now that Meng Heng of the Meng family is marrying a daughter-in-law, her family will naturally have to leave. Wei Qiushuang couldn''t be there because of something that day, so she asked her son and daughter-in-law to attend the wedding of Meng''s son on her behalf. When Lan Shu first heard the news, she was stunned for a long time! If I remember correctly, didn''t the Meng family''s Meng Heng marry Lan Xinya? After Xiaobai''s explanation, she found out that Meng Heng had divorced Lan Xinya a long time ago. Xiao Bai is not a gossip, but he also found out not long ago that after Meng Heng and Lan Xinya divorced, Lan Xinya had been living in Meng''s house for almost two years. Learning this, Lan Shu just felt that luck was tricking people. Who would have thought that the heroine, who was supposed to be pampered by the hero, would be reduced to the present situation once her trajectory with the hero changed? Moreover, Lan Xinya''s character, from being scheming a few years ago, digging holes and wanting to step on her to highlight her goodness, has become so thick-skinned now! Divorced can still live in her ex-husband¡¯s house for two years. If Xiao Bai hadn¡¯t said this himself, Lan Shu would never have imagined¡ª But no matter what happens to Lan Xinya, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai will also find time to go to her ex-husband Meng Heng''s wedding. ¡­ On the day the Meng family held their wedding, the weather had just turned warm. Lan Shu is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a beige cardigan knitted sweater, and a pair of light-colored leather shoes with slightly pointed toes. She looks full of temperament! Xiao Bai was wearing a light gray suit, a watch on his wrist, and Xiao Qingning was holding hands. In a family of three, only Xiao Qingning was dressed up, wearing a light purple spring gauze skirt with velvet lining, a small gold bracelet on her hand, and a matching golden wishful lock around her neck. In today''s wedding, Meng Heng and Sun Yuan are the absolute protagonists, so Lan Shu didn''t dress up too exquisitely, so as not to overwhelm the guests. But because of her outstanding appearance, well-maintained figure, and the extravagance that has been cultivated by money in the mall over the past few years, her appearance will inevitably attract attention. And Xiao Bai beside her, a young man of twenty-three years old, with a height of 187, a figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist, wearing a suit, and his extremely high appearance, looks noble and arrogant. But such a man looks gentle by Lan Shu''s side, his eyes are full of love for his wife. Seeing the two men coming with their children, Meng Xiang, the elder of the Meng family, stepped forward to greet them in person. Seeing this, Liu Cui temporarily put aside her relatives and friends, and took her grandson Meng Dabao to this side. Liu Cui remembered her son said that her little grandson got along very well with Mr. Wei''s great-granddaughter before. The two little dolls stayed together, and Dabao, who was reluctant to talk at first, tried his best to speak~! Therefore, Liu Cui cherishes this opportunity to let her precious grandson interact more with that girl named Gu Qingning. Sure enough, when Liu Cui walked to Xiao Qingning with Meng Dabao in his arms, Meng Dabao, who had to be hugged by an adult in such a crowded place and was unwilling to go to the ground, was about to break free from his grandmother''s arms¡ª Seeing this, Liu Cui put her grandson on the ground. When Meng Dabao saw Xiao Qingning, he took a careful look before taking a step forward. He, who hasn''t spoken much recently, opened his mouth, "Qing...Ning." "It''s Qingning~" Xiao Qingning corrected her name, then looked at Meng Dabao, and continued, "You are so old, why are you still being hugged by adults?" Obviously, Meng Dabao recognized Xiao Qingning, and Xiao Qingning also recognized Meng Dabao. Meng Dabao is not very smart, because Xiao Qingning asked him about letting an adult hug him, so he blushed shyly. "No, hug." Meng Dabao said. While speaking, he looked at Xiao Qingning''s pitiful eyes, as if he was afraid that Xiao Qingning would dislike him because he let an adult hug him. Xiao Qingning would not dislike a little fool. After she met Meng Dabao last year, she went back and asked her mother about the fool. My mother said that for some people who are not born smart, you can''t dislike them casually, but you have to be considerate of them. If the other party is kind-hearted, as a healthy person, if conditions permit, those who can help can help the other party. So Xiao Qingning saw Meng Dabao again today, and she remembered what her mother said, she wanted to help Meng Dabao. But how can I help myself? Xiao Qingning seriously thought about this question. (end of this chapter) Chapter 418: needs time Chapter 418 takes time It was the first time for Lan Shu to meet Lan Xinya''s son. Seeing that her daughter and Lan Xinya''s son seemed familiar, her first reaction was to feel uncomfortable. Although Lan Shu knows that conflicts between adults should not be blamed on children, she is just an ordinary person with normal emotions, so she cannot use moral standards to ask herself to forgive. Although deep down in her heart, Lan Shu didn''t want her daughter to have any contact with Lan Xinya''s son. But seeing Xiao Qingning''s attitude towards Meng Dabao, as a mother, Lan Shu couldn''t forcefully stop the relationship between her daughter and her friends. So she looked at Meng Dabao brought by the Meng family and remained silent. Beside her, only Xiao Bai, who was holding hands with Lan Shu, could feel the strength of his wife''s fingers, which were much tighter than before! Right now, Xiao Qingning still has a lot to say to Meng Dabao. And when Meng Dabao saw Xiao Qingning, he finally didn''t look so stupid, like a normal child. Seeing this, Liu Cui was overjoyed. She even hoped that the little girl in front of her could play with Dabao all the time. Only Meng Xiang noticed that Lan Shu''s face seemed a little stiff when she saw her daughter playing with her grandson. Meng Xiang probably knew that his ex-daughter-in-law had a bad relationship with Miss Lan Shu, so he looked at Lan Shu apologetically. "Thank you for coming to my son Meng Heng''s wedding, and thank you for your little girl who is willing to make friends with my grandson." Meng Xiang''s thanks are sincere. Hearing what the elders of Meng''s family said, Lan Shu''s original concern for Meng Dabao faded a little. She suddenly thought that although Meng Dabao was Lan Xinya''s son, at the same time, this child also had the blood of the Meng family. Meng''s family are all good people, so Lan Shu''s prejudice against Meng Dabao suddenly became much less. Today is a big happy event for the Meng family. Meng Xiang and Liu Cui have other guests to receive, so they can''t stay for too long. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai took out the gift money they had come to attend the wedding, and then took Xiao Qingning to the side to find a seat and sit down, waiting for the wedding to proceed. Meng Dabao finally met his little friend, and he was unwilling to leave no matter what. So Liu Cui has no choice but to ask Lan Shu and his wife to help take care of the child for a while. Liu Cui''s request made Lan Shu frown slightly! She was about to say something, but she heard Xiao Qingning shouting happily, "That''s great~!" Subsequently, Xiao Qingning had arranged to teach Meng Dabao how to speak. Seeing this, Lan Shu originally wanted to reject the Meng family''s request, but when it came to her lips, she didn''t say it because of her daughter''s reaction. And Xiaobai can probably understand what his daughter-in-law thinks. He stood up and said to Liu Cui, "There are too many people at the moment, and we can''t take care of too many children. If we have a chance in the future, let the two children play together." Although saying this will make his daughter Bai happy, but in Xiao Bai''s heart, taking care of his wife''s mood is the first priority. Xiao Qingning was too young to understand how annoying and unpleasant what Meng Dabao''s mother did. But as a daughter loved by her mother, she should also be considerate of her mother''s feelings. Finally, Liu Cui took away the crying Meng Dabao, and Xiao Qingning felt a little bit disappointed, but she did not disobey her father''s words. Although Xiao Qingning is young, she is emotionally sensitive. From the reaction of her parents, she can feel something. After Meng Dabao was taken away, Xiao Qingning turned to look at her mother. "Mom, don''t you like Dabao?" she asked. Lan Shu was at a loss for words when asked by her daughter. Soon, she heard her daughter say again, "But Mom, didn''t you say that we normal people shouldn''t have discriminatory thoughts when we see a fool? Dabao is not smart, we should help him." This is Xiao Qingning''s idea. Lan Shu was slightly startled when she heard what her daughter said¡ª She suddenly remembered that her daughter asked herself about fools. Now she knows that her daughter''s question at that time was actually because of Meng Dabao. Lan Shu never thought that one day she would be ''taught'' by her daughter. She was silent for a while, then nodded slowly. "Xiao Qingning is right, if you want to play with Dabao, let Dad take you there." Lan Shu can agree to Xiao Qingning and Meng Dabao''s contact, but it is still difficult for her to completely accept Lan Xinya''s son without any obstacles in her heart. Maybe she will be relieved slowly in the future, but that will definitely not be now. Xiao Qingning heard her mother''s words, but didn''t immediately go to find her little friend. She wants to play with Dabao, but mother is more important to her. She can see that her mother doesn''t seem very happy, so she wants to be with her mother instead of just thinking about her own happiness. So Xiao Qingning shook her head towards her mother, and said in a sweet voice, "I want to be with my mother." Seeing this, Lan Shu couldn''t help hugging her daughter. At this moment, she felt comforted by her daughter. But it will take a while for her to convince herself to accept Lan Xinya''s son... ¡­ It didn''t take long for the Meng family''s wedding to begin. Sun Yuan walked onto the stage wearing a beautiful red Chinese wedding dress. Lan Shu could tell at a glance that this wedding dress was from her wedding dress studio. The wedding dress is not cheap. If it is made to order, the price of this wedding dress is more than 600 yuan, and it only costs 66 yuan to rent it for one day. Lan Shu heard that Sun Yuan and Meng Heng haven''t known each other for a long time, and they decided to get married within three to two months. So I think Sun Yuan should rent clothes, because the time period for custom-made clothes is not short. The bride was led onto the stage by her father, and her grandson handed over her daughter''s hand to Meng Heng. Meng Heng is wearing a black suit today. In the few years since he was discharged from the army, even though he took care of his children every day, Meng Heng''s body has not changed much. Meng Heng was already tall and tall, wearing a suit on his body, he looked quite powerful and reliable. Standing with Sun Yuan, the two complement each other very well, a perfect match. In the current wedding, although there is a wedding dress, the wedding process still focuses on worshiping heaven and earth, high hall, and couples worshiping each other. During the first two prostrations, all the guests at the scene looked at the newlyweds with smiles on their faces, but in the end when it was time for the couple to pay their respects, an uninvited guest appeared at the wedding scene! Lan Xinya''s appearance time was precisely on the stage before Meng Heng and Sun Yuan''s husband and wife worshiped each other. This scene made Lan Shu, who was watching from the audience, sigh in her heart that what she saw before her was too dramatic! But even if Lan Xinya disagreed with the marriage between Meng Heng and Sun Yuan, as an ex-wife, what effect would her words have? So it didn''t take long for Lan Xinya to be kicked out by the hotel staff responsible for maintaining order¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 419: sorry for being late Chapter 419 Regret it''s too late Hotel staff usually don''t do things like drive away guests. But the host of the wedding banquet let go, and they naturally wanted to obey orders. Otherwise, if the wedding banquet cannot go on, not only the reputation of the groom and the bride will be lost, but also the business of the Kyoto Hotel. Lan Shu watched Lan Xinya''s appearance from a distance, and disappeared from her sight without much trouble at the wedding scene. This made her suddenly realize that if Lan Xinya, the heroine, had any luck in her body, then her luck should have been exhausted. Lan Xinya is nothing to be afraid of, and Gu Cheng is also in prison, so Xiaobai will not be suppressed by Gu Cheng and end up in a tragic end in the future, it will not happen. But Lan Shu didn''t know that Gu Cheng, who she thought was in prison, had been released from prison for almost half a year! In less than half a year, Gu Cheng''s development in Haicheng has already started steadily¡ª ¡­ Haicheng, Chengfeng Real Estate Company officially opened for business! In half a year, with the help of Xu Yunjie, Gu Cheng has accumulated some practical achievements from small-scale multi-storey self-built small buildings to large-scale factory buildings. The opening of a real estate company undertakes larger projects. If things go on like this, maybe he only needs to give him two years before he can regain his former glory! At this moment, Gu Cheng has absolute confidence in his business ability! One''s own success and fame only needs the accumulation of time¡ª He will come back against the wind! This is his requirement and goal for himself. He will get back on his feet! Next time, neither Wei Qiushuang, Wei Jin, nor his biological father can suppress him anymore! As for Gu Jue... His imprisonment was caused by Gu Jue, so since some things happened, since he decided to do it, he would not stop! Because of Gu Jue, a series of tragedies happened to him. Perhaps only by getting rid of Gu Jue, can the manic ''beast'' suppressed in his heart be released and calm himself down. However, Gu Cheng only had an estimate of his own future, but he didn''t know how many times the career development of Lan Shu and Gu Jue had expanded in the past three years! He wants to overwhelm Gu Jue in the mall, but it is absolutely impossible to succeed. As for whether some of his younger brothers who are good at using insidious means can succeed, no one can say for sure¡ª ¡­ Kyoto, peach blossoms bloom in April. In the garden landscape yard where Lanshu and Xiaobai live, there are a few ornamental peach trees with pink peach blossoms blooming all over the trees. Xiao Qingning was running happily under the peach blossom tree. Beside her, Meng Dabao, who was brought by his grandparents as a guest today, was also holding a few peach blossoms in his hands, smiling like a fool. Half a month has passed since Meng Heng and Sun Yuan''s wedding. During the past half month, Lan Shu thought a lot. In the end, she decided that as long as Lan Xinya''s son was not bad-hearted, then she would agree with her daughter to be friends with him. And she will also abandon the grudge against Meng Dabao in her heart, no longer associate this child with Lan Xinya, and just treat him as an ordinary child. So when the Meng family contacted her and wanted to bring the child to her house as a guest, Lan Shu just hesitated for a moment, and quickly agreed. Meng Dabao was brought here early this morning. One morning, when the two children were playing together, Lan Shu watched from the side. She was observing Meng Dabao, from his temperament to his character. Finally, Lan Shu came to the conclusion that this little idiot of the Meng family was a very simple child. And this child did burn out his brain because of the high fever he had when he was a child. Because he is a little fool, no one seems to want to play with him, and he is very lonely. Probably because Xiao Qingning didn''t dislike him, so he especially obeyed Xiao Qingning. Thinking of Meng Dabao''s pity, Lan Shu couldn''t help feeling sorry for him, and she no longer cared about his identity. So at noon, Lan Shu took the initiative to invite the two elders of the Meng family to stay at home with their grandson for dinner. However, Liu Cui and Meng Xiang are not the kind of people who come to know each other. They are already very grateful for Miss Lan''s willingness to let them bring their grandson to meet Xiao Qingning. The last two declined Lan Shu''s kindness, and took their grandson home. Before leaving, Lan Shu told the two that they could bring the children to play next time they were free. Xiao Qingning was very happy to hear that her mother did not dislike Dabao. Meng Dabao learned that he could come to play with Qingning next time, so he didn''t cry in front of his grandparents, but reluctantly waved to Xiao Qingning, and agreed to see you next time. At noon that day, Lan Shu was in a good mood and ate half a bowl of rice. Xiao Bai, who came out of the laboratory at home, saw this and learned that his wife''s knot with the Meng family''s child had been resolved. He was happy for Lan Shu. "In the future, apart from the Meng family bringing their children to the house, if Xiao Qingning doesn''t learn piano on weekends, send her to grandpa." Xiao Bai said. This is also convenient for two children to play together. In case the two elders of the Meng family came with their grandson on a bicycle, the distance is still quite far. Lan Shu had no objection to Xiao Bai''s proposal, she nodded and replied, "Okay." That''s it. ¡­ April passed, and soon it was the day when Lan Shu''s second brother Lan Xiuming got married. A few days before the wedding, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai rushed back to their hometown in Tianshui Village, Qingyang County. In the past few days, Lan Xiuming asked for leave from the hospital and came back to prepare for the wedding. Although since he decided to marry Tian Na, he looked at the house in Linjiang City and bought a two-story house with a single courtyard. But the place of the marriage, after discussing with his family, he finally decided to go back to his hometown. Even though Tianshui Village is not actually the hometown of Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, it is the place where the three brothers of the Lan family grew up. So if there is a wedding at home, everything needs to be prepared. Clean the house, tidy up the yard, and put up lights. Tian Na is not the daughter of an ordinary family, so the wedding cannot be too simple. Lan Xiuming specially found someone to tie a colorful door and lay a carpet outside the gate of Lan''s house. Even if someone was hired to do these things, it took several days to prepare. When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to the village, they could help more or less. Even if you don''t do the work yourself, the supervisor is still proper. When it came time for the wedding, Lan Shu had already asked the group to prepare the wedding car. A convoy of black cars drove out of the village in a row to pick up people in Linjiang City¡ª With such a wedding reception specification, not to mention Tianshui Village, even Linjiang City has never heard of any marriage that can dispatch eight Santanas at the same time! So even if Tian Na is the daughter of the deputy mayor of Linjiang City, the wedding day is full of beauty. Linjiang City is some distance away from Tianshui Village. The convoy started at six o''clock in the morning and brought the bride and her family members to the village before noon. Wang Liangping, the head of Tianshui Village, heard that the daughter-in-law married by the second child of the Lan family turned out to be the daughter of the deputy mayor! Moreover, the deputy mayor will come to the village in person soon, and the village head Wang is completely shocked! I knew that the life of the Lan family was getting better and better, and I knew more and more important people. How could he dare to offend him? But now, it''s too late to regret... (end of this chapter) Chapter 420: How did you come back? Chapter 420 How did you come back? In Tianshui Village, in front of the gate of the Lan family, the bride is wearing a gorgeous floor-length white wedding dress, and slowly walks down from the car. It was the first time for Lan Shu to meet Tian Na. This is a petite girl with a baby face. Although Tian Na is already twenty-four years old this year, she looks nineteen or twenty years old at most. Standing beside the tall and straight Lan Xiuming, the feeling of being a small bird comes out instantly! Lan Shu never knew before, that her second brother was actually good at it? As if he had sensed something, Lan Xiuming looked in the direction of his little sister accurately. Seeing the meaningful eyes of the little girl, he only felt question marks in his mind. But now is not the time to think about other things. Lan Xiuming looked at Tian Na who was about to become his wife. Surrounded by guests, he bent down and carried the bride into the house¡ª It is not the auspicious time for the wedding, the bride can go to the wedding room to rest first. In addition, there are various pre-wedding procedures and customs that need to be reviewed one by one. Someone brought a water basin for the bride to wash her hands, someone brought a poached egg for the bride to have a taste, and then there was the favorite part of the children, asking for red envelopes from the bride. These red envelopes are not big, and most of them are in the shape of ten or twenty cents, for the purpose of celebrating. As the younger sister of the groom, Lan Shu is qualified to stand in the wedding room and guard the bride. So she watched a group of children surrounded her prospective second sister-in-law, saying auspicious words pleasantly, and smiling brightly after receiving the little red envelopes. At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly thought of her daughter. This time she and Xiao Bai went back to their hometown to attend the wedding, but they did not bring Xiao Qingning with them. Soon Xiao Qingning went to kindergarten and didn''t have much vacation time. During the three days of the holiday, Xiao Qingning made an appointment with the idiot from the Meng family to play together, so at this time she was at Wei''s house, and Mr. Wei took her with him. Otherwise, if Xiao Qingning came to the wedding, she would definitely have a good time. Although Xiao Qingning was not there, her eldest brother''s son was brought back by Tang Chu. Lan Dazhuang''s son is called Lan Juncheng, whose nickname is Junjun. He is a little over three years old now and looks strong. This age is just the time to be naughty. Although Junjun is young, he is not far behind among a group of children begging for red envelopes around the bride. He said, ¡®Second Aunt is so beautiful! ¡¯, coaxing Tian Na to smile like a flower. After a while, Xiao Junjun already got three small red envelopes, but he still didn''t give up! The children in the house kept laughing, and outside the house, in the courtyard of Lan''s house, the arrival of the deputy mayor made all the villagers in Tianshui Village very excited. Village head Wang Liangping was even more at a loss. Standing in the courtyard, his face was flushed with excitement! Although the village head, at the instigation of the villagers, planned to force the Lan family to distribute the benefits of the back mountain to the villagers, there was a rift between the Lan family and the village head. But today is a day of great joy for the Lan family, everything must be put aside first. The village chief came to the door with the gift money, and it was not easy for the Lan family to throw people out, so the village chief Wang was able to meet the deputy mayor at the Lan family. Thinking that the Lan family and the deputy mayor''s family will be in-laws in the future, the village chief Wang Liangping''s attitude when facing the Lan family can be described as groveling, trying his best to please everyone in the Lan family. Seeing this, Lan Shengli thought that after all, he and Wang Liangping were old friends who walked together when they were young, so he forgave Wang Liangping''s previous behavior in his heart. Chang Chunfang on the side saw her husband talking to Village Chief Wang as if nothing had happened. Although she was unhappy, it was her son''s wedding today, so she endured the attack. As for the three brothers of the Lan family, none of them wanted to say a word to Village Chief Wang. When they saw Village Chief Wang, they walked away immediately. Just as the big happy event of the Lan family was about to arrive, outside Tianshui Village, a tractor from the county town drove into the village with a ''chug chug...'' sound. Today is the wedding day of Lan Xiuming, the second child of the Lan family in Tianshui Village. Lan Xinya, who is far away in Kyoto, also received the news. In the past, Lan Xinya would never have anything to do with the Lan family in Tianshui Village. Even if these people were her biological parents and brothers, she would despise them for their background and poverty. But the current Lan Xinya is no longer the daughter of Lan Weicheng, a wealthy businessman in Kyoto. In addition, she is still a divorced woman. Even though most of the family members are poor, her second brother is different. He works as a doctor in the city hospital. The best second brother in the entire Lan family got married, Lan Xinya, the real younger sister, decided to come after much deliberation. It doesn''t matter that she has nothing to do with the rest of the Lan family, the second brother can still communicate. But Lan Xinya didn''t expect that when she arrived in Tianshui Village and stood near the gate of Lan''s house, she would see eight shiny black cars lined up in a row! And the wedding specifications of red carpet paving and colorful doors. Looking at it this way, even though the car may be Lan Shu''s handwriting, the layout of the wedding scene is definitely due to the skills of the second brother of the Lan family! So she didn''t make a mistake in coming this time¡ª Lan Xinya is wearing a loose beige trench coat and small black leather shoes today. Even though she is bloated, she still looks like a city person. She walked into the courtyard of Lan''s house, seeing a bustling scene. At the door, Lan Sibo, Lan Shengli and his son were receiving the guests. Seeing Lan Xinya, both of them showed puzzled expressions. They don''t know Lan Xinya, who is physically different now than before, so this strange woman who came to his house to attend the wedding, maybe the second child''s colleague in the hospital? Lan Sibo was quick-witted. Thinking of this, he immediately went up to him and said, "Welcome to come from afar to attend my second brother''s wedding. Are you my second brother''s colleague? Please come in first." When Lan Xinya heard what Lan Sibo said, she was slightly taken aback¡ª Then immediately shouted, "Third brother, what are you talking about? I am Lan Xinya!" She still remembered that the tall and thin man in front of her was the third child of the Lan family who raised pigs for others. And when Lan Sibo heard the fat woman in front of him call him third brother, his heart skipped a beat! "Lan Xinya?" He was surprised. This name not only surprised Lan Sibo, but Lan Shengli who stood opposite Lan Sibo was also shocked! The person in front of him turned out to be his own daughter? At this moment, Lan Shengli suddenly thought of his own Shushu''s round figure in the past. At that time, although Shushu was fat, she was also fat and cute. And his biological daughter has gained weight, which is really hard for him to accept... "Are you really Xinya?" Lan Shengli couldn''t believe it. "Why did you come back suddenly?" Lan Shengli asked in surprise. "Today is my second brother''s wedding day, of course I''m coming." Lan Xinya replied in a natural tone. (end of this chapter) Chapter 421: clear purpose Chapter 421 has a clear purpose "How did you know that the second brother got married today...?" Lan Sibo was surprised, who told Lan Xinya about his second brother''s marriage? Although Lan Shengli has not heard Lan Xinya''s exact answer, he has already vaguely guessed the person who informed Lan Xinya. The next second, Lan Shengli heard Lan Xinya say¡ª "Of course Mom told me." ¡­ Three days ago, Chang Chunfang asked someone to deliver a message to Lan Xinya, informing her of the marriage of her second son. Although their family has lost contact with Lan Xinya for a long time, Chang Chunfang feels that Lan Xinya is their daughter after all, and it is appropriate to inform the family about such a big event as someone getting married. Besides this reason, Chang Chunfang also heard that her biological daughter Lan Xinya got divorced! Even if the mother was disappointed with the child at the beginning, it has been several years now. Plus knowing that her own daughter is having a bad life, she still feels soft-hearted, wondering if she should give her daughter another chance? That''s why sending the message happened. Now Lan Xinya''s arrival caught Lan Sibo and Lan Shengli by surprise, and Chang Chunfang, who was entertaining guests in the courtyard, might really have a telepathy between mother and daughter, Chang Chunfang suddenly looked in Lan Xinya''s direction come over- Even though Lan Xinya''s fat figure and appearance are out of shape now, and she can''t see the original shadow on her body, Chang Chunfang still recognized Lan Xinya after looking at each other for a few seconds! ¡ª¡ª "Xinya..." She softly called out her daughter''s name, and what she got was Lan Xinya''s face was calm, and there was a flash of displeasure between her brows. But soon, Lan Xinya adjusted her mood. She didn''t forget her purpose of coming to Lan''s house today, she wanted to make good friends with her second brother. So Lan Xinya nodded towards Chang Chunfang, "Mom, did you recognize me?" The word ''Mom'' made Chang Chunfang so excited that she almost shed tears! She finally waited until her biological daughter was willing to call herself! And this title, it is obvious that Xinya must have suffered a lot outside, so she will recognize herself when she is sensible. "Alas~" Chang Chunfang responded, and then stepped forward a few steps, standing in front of Lan Xinya. "Xinya, hurry into the yard, your second brother got married today, he must be very happy that you can come!" Chang Chunfang said, she really thought so. When Lan Xinya heard this, she was also in a good mood. Of course she hoped that her arrival would make her second brother happy, and then the siblings could get in touch with each other more, and she would be regarded as a more reliable relative in the future. But when Lan Sibo and Lan Shengli on the side heard what Chang Chunfang said, Lan Sibo was slightly taken aback, unable to understand what his mother was thinking. Lan Shengli frowned, he didn''t understand why Chunfang contacted Xinya. Although it is true that Xinya is his biological daughter, Lan Shengli''s heart has been chilled by Xinya''s dislike for the old couple. At that time, he clearly reached a consensus with Chunfang, and there would be no daughter Xinya in the future, but now, what is Chunfang doing? ! Seeing the youngest son and the old man standing there without saying a word, Chang Chunfang was also slightly taken aback¡ª She looked at the two of them, and seeing their indifferent faces, Chang Chunfang finally realized that the youngest son and the old man were not happy because of Xinya''s return? Chang Chunfang couldn''t understand either! "Sibo, your sister is back!" Saying that, Chang Chunfang looked at Lan Shengli again, "Old man, our daughter Xinya is back!" These words made Lan Shengli''s brows furrow even deeper. He never thought about recognizing his biological daughter again. But what Chunfang is doing now is to force him to forcibly recognize his own daughter~! Different from Lan Shengli, who was worried that he would hurt his own daughter if he refused, Lan Sibo had nothing to shy away from. He glanced at Lan Xinya, and immediately said to Chang Chunfang, "Mom, are you confused? I only have one little sister." Anyway, Lan Sibo doesn''t intend to recognize Lan Xinya as his sister. He still remembers that when Lan Xinya came to the village, she disliked him for raising pigs for others, and looked down on him. He always dislikes people who step on the high and flatter the low. And his younger sister Lan Shu will not be like Lan Xinya. Xiaomei is now the big boss of the group, and her net worth is doubled. Even if she is an expert in hybrid pigs, she is far behind her~! But every time the little girl saw her, she still shouted, "Third Brother, Third Brother", without the slightest thought of alienation. The research institute where he works is not far from downtown Kyoto. Occasionally, when he has vacations, he will stay at his little sister''s house for a few days to tease his little niece. Because the younger sister opened a clothing factory, Lan Sibo hasn''t bought any clothes in these years, and every year the younger sister can''t finish wearing the clothes that his younger sister gave him! Such a little girl is his little girl! Not dear, but closer than dear! Lan Sibo''s attitude couldn''t be more obvious, and Chang Chunfang immediately understood what her third son was thinking. She was about to say a few good words for Xinya, to persuade her son. At this moment, Lan Dazhuang, who was not far away, saw the serious faces of the people at the door, and noticed something unusual, so he walked over immediately. Seeing Lan Xinya, Lan Dazhuang didn''t recognize her either. It was Chang Chunfang who saw the eldest son coming, and immediately introduced, "Look, Da Zhuang, Xinya is back to attend your second brother''s wedding!" Chang Chunfang''s enthusiasm, but Lan Dazhuang asked with a confused face, "Xinya? Who is it?" It''s been several years, he usually has so many things, how can he still remember that Xinya is his blood sister? Lan Xinya on the side saw the farmer. Lan Dazhuang didn''t recognize who she was, and she almost couldn''t help showing disgust in her eyes. Sure enough, with well-developed limbs and no brains, he was talking about people like the boss of the Lan family! Chang Chunfang saw that the eldest son did not recognize him, and explained, "Da Zhuang, Xinya is your own sister." After hearing what his mother said, Lan Dazhuang set his eyes on Lan Xinya seriously. Looking at Lan Xinya''s body, Lan Dazhuang suddenly grinned, "Dear sister, I haven''t seen you for a few years, are you the same as before learning from Shushu?" Asking, he changed his voice again¡ª "But Shushu was white and chubby back then, and she was a little cute. You don''t look good when you are black and fat now, so don''t imitate it." The word ''black fat'' almost touched Lan Xinya''s pain! She is already very anxious about her current figure and appearance, and she doesn''t even want to admit that she can''t bear to look at her now. But now that Lan Dazhuang ruthlessly poked her ugly face, she was so angry that she wanted to pour out dirty words to Lan Dazhuang in an instant! But Lan Xinya still held back. She doesn''t have the same knowledge as the rest of the Lan family, so she will only contact the second brother in the future. So Lan Xinya grinned at Shang Lan Dazhuang, and replied, "I came to congratulate my second brother on his marriage." She didn''t want to pay attention to the rest of the Lan family. Bear the brunt of it is to hate Lan Dazhuang! (end of this chapter) Chapter 422: be on guard Chapter 422 Be on guard The annoying Lan Dazhuang was not self-conscious, but continued to say, "Participate in the second child''s wedding? Oh~ I understand, you are here to accompany the ceremony~!" As he spoke, Lan Dazhuang stretched out his hand towards Lan Xinya, "Just give me the gift money, and I will be responsible for collecting the money today." When a guest comes to the door, such a blunt request to be courteous, once again makes Lan Xinya despise Lan Dazhuang''s rudeness in her heart! But she came all the time, and the purpose was to make friends with her second brother, so Lan Xinya really agreed the gift money in advance. She reached into the pocket of the windbreaker, took out a red envelope made of red paper, and put it in Lan Dazhuang''s hand. Seeing this, Lan Dazhuang smiled with a ''hehe~'', then opened the red envelope in front of Lan Xinya, and began to count the money in a ''scrub-''. It''s a pity that Lan Xinya didn''t have much money to accompany the gift, and Lan Dazhuang quickly ran out of money. He frowned, and looked at Lan Xinya with a look of incomprehension, "Dear sister, did you take the wrong one? Why is it only fifty yuan?" For rural people getting married, the money used to accompany the gift is usually three to five yuan, but it is slightly more in recent years, but it can also be five or eight yuan, and the maximum is ten yuan. Like the fifty yuan that Lan Xinya took out, in fact, it is enough to put it in other families in the village, but the Lan family is different now, it is no longer ordinary. Although Lan Dazhuang spends most of his time in the village, he also knows a little about things outside the village. He knew that Lan Xinya opened a clothing store in Kyoto and had been in business for two or three years. Lan Xinya claimed that her sister came to attend her brother''s wedding. With her financial resources, if she was sincere, she wouldn''t be able to just take the fifty yuan. So Lan Dazhuang said unhappily on the spot, "My little sister comes with a gift of a thousand yuan~ She is not a real sister, and she still takes so much, your real sister doesn''t even have a gift of a hundred yuan~! " Hearing Lan Dazhuang''s words, Lan Xinya only felt that the Lan family was so greedy! Lan''s family is holding a wedding in the countryside, and fifty yuan with the gift is already a lot! If she is asked to add more gift money, she will have to consider whether it is worth it for her to befriend the second brother of the Lan family? Although Chang Chunfang on the side also felt that fifty yuan was not enough, but she thought again, fifty yuan is not a lot in rural areas! Besides, Xinya was able to spend fifty yuan when her own brother was married, which shows that Xinya has had a hard time these years~! This made Chang Chunfang feel sorry for her biological daughter... In the courtyard of Lan''s house, as the groom, Lan Xiuming greeted the guests who came to his wedding by himself, and he was a little overwhelmed. He looked around, looking for the figures of his eldest brother, younger brother and parents, and planned to call his family to come and help. But after looking for it, he found that his whole family was surrounded near the gate of the courtyard. "What''s the matter?" Lan Xiuming walked towards his family and asked suspiciously. Then he heard Lan Xinya shouting at him, "Second brother, let me congratulate you on your marriage." "Second brother?" Lan Xiuming looked at a strange woman who was probably older than him, and called him second brother? He froze for a moment! Immediately afterwards, he heard the woman say, "I''m Xinya, second brother, haven''t we seen each other for several years?" Hearing the name ''Xinya'', Lan Xiuming realized who the person in front of him was. Lan Xinya, his blood sister! But he really doesn''t care if he has this sister or not. And now, Lan Xinya took the initiative to come to the door to establish a relationship with her family. What is the purpose? Lan Xiuming thought about the free-range chicken farms, orchards, fruit processing factories and semi-finished fried chicken processing factories of his brother and sister in the back of the village... Lan Xiuming immediately became vigilant! Lan Xinya probably came here for these things, right? So he was full of guard against Lan Xinya''s arrival! At the door, Chang Chunfang saw that Xinya and her three elder brothers had met, and immediately called her own daughter to enter the door. Even though Lan Sibo was unwilling, Lan Dazhuang was unhappy, and Lan Xiuming frowned, Lan Xinya was still pulled by Chang Chunfang affectionately by the wrist and brought into the courtyard of the Lan family. Crossed the yard again, entered the main room and sat down. Xiaobai, who was helping in the kitchen, didn''t know about this scene. In Lan Xiuming''s room on the east side of Lan''s house, because there were too many guests outside, everyone chatted too loudly, so Lan Shu didn''t hear the voices of adoptive parents and brothers talking to Lan Xinya outside. I didn''t know that Lan Xinya came to Lan''s house to attend the wedding today! Lan Shu watched the harmonious relationship between Tian Na and the children, and when the children finished distributing the red envelopes and left the house, she talked with Tian Na for a while. Tian Na is a girl from the city. Because she didn''t know much about weddings in the countryside, she was quite worried at first. Before she got married, she heard that many villages had the custom of getting married, but now it seems that the rumors are not true. Regarding this, Lan Shu told Tian Na, "It''s not because the rumors are untrue, but because of the Lan family''s wedding, no one in the village dares to mess around." Her brothers are not decorations, and everyone in the village knows about the Lan family''s financial resources. Who would dare to make a fuss at the Lan family''s wedding to offend the Lan family? So sometimes it is like this, people are bullied only when they are poor, and people who are rich and powerful are only praised and sacrificed. This is also the reason why many people pursue wealth and high society life. Tian Na nodded after listening, she believed Lan Shu''s words. Before she got married, Tian Na learned from her father that her future sister-in-law, Lan Shu, is a famous entrepreneur in Linjiang City! Her father even said clearly that the reason why she agreed to marry Lan Xiuming was not only Lan Xiuming''s own appearance and ability, but also half of the reason was because the Lan family had a Lan Shu. So Tian Na has a very good impression of the sister-in-law in front of her! Besides, the two are about the same age, so although they didn''t talk much, they hit it off and got acquainted quickly. The two chatted for a short while, outside, Chang Chunfang opened the door and walked in. The appearance of her biological daughter put Chang Chunfang in a good mood. She had a smile on her face, and her eyes were full of joy. She looked at Tian Na and called out affectionately, "Second daughter-in-law, the auspicious time has come." Then Chang Chunfang looked at Lan Shu again. I don''t know if it was Lan Shu''s illusion, but at this moment, she seemed to see a trace of guilt in her adoptive mother''s eyes? I must have read it wrong! Lan Shu thought about it, and then helped the bride out of the room. ¡­ At this time, in the courtyard of the Lan family, red silk was hung, and the atmosphere was lively. The surrounding speakers played festive music, and the middle of the yard had been cleared, and tables and chairs for the elders had been placed. When Lan Xiuming saw his wife coming out, he immediately stepped forward to hold her hand, and led Tian Na to the center of the yard. Lan Shu looked at the couple holding hands, and felt happy for the second brother. But when she looked up at the second brother, she found that the emotion on the second brother''s face seemed not as happy as when he picked up the kiss in the morning? Is it her illusion? Lan Shu didn''t know the reason, so she shifted her gaze to other people in the family. (end of this chapter) Chapter 423: big brother Chapter 423 Big Brother Afterwards, Lan Shu saw the elder brother and the third brother not far away were all smiling reluctantly. Her adoptive father, Lan Shengli, lowered his head slightly, obviously preoccupied! Seeing this scene, no matter how dull Lan Shu was, she could guess that something happened outside when she was in the room with her prospective second sister-in-law Tian Na! But what happened? Soon, Lan Shu will know¡ª While her second elder brother and her prospective second sister-in-law were worshiping heaven and earth, Gaotang, and husband and wife, Lan Shu saw Lan Xinya in the crowd of onlookers! When she saw the person for the first time, Lan Shu thought she had made a mistake. You can distinguish carefully, it is Lan Xinya! So the second brother got married, and Lan Xinya also came? ! Who invited her? Although her mind was full of question marks, Lan Shu didn''t ask on the spot, so as not to disturb her second brother''s wedding. Waiting until the wedding ceremony of the second brother and the second sister-in-law Tian Na was completed, Lan Shu walked up to her third brother Lan Sibo. In the past few years, because Lan Sibo works in the suburbs of Beijing, Lan Shu and the third brother have traveled more and are more familiar with each other, so she is the first to ask the third brother when there is something. When Lan Sibo saw the little girl coming, he knew that the little girl saw Lan Xinya. Without the younger sister speaking, Lan Sibo directly explained to the younger sister, "It was our mother who told Lan Xinya about the second brother''s marriage." As he spoke, Lan Sibo was in a depressed mood, "Our mother is also confused, why can''t I forget her biological daughter until now? Blood relationship is so important!? The ideas of each generation are very different. Lan Sibo may not care about the blood relationship, and Lan Xiuming and Lan Dazhuang don''t care about it, but in Chang Chunfang''s heart, they will always miss it! Women are soft-hearted and mothers love their children. These qualities are clearly reflected in Chang Chunfang. Although Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli had reached a consensus before, it was as if there was no such daughter as Lan Xinya. But at that time, it was because of Lan Xinya''s behavior and attitude towards them that they were so chilled! But time can dilute everything, and the chilling feeling at the beginning was gradually forgotten by Chang Chunfang. Plus she knows that Lan Xinya''s life is not as good as before. Of course, as a real mother, she can''t help but feel sorry for the child, sympathize with the child, and want to help her own daughter. At the second son''s wedding today, Lan Xinya showed up on her own initiative, making Chang Chunfang immediately forgive Lan Xinya for looking down on them. Little did she know that what she wanted in her heart was to reunite with her biological daughter, but in the Lan family, no one had the same idea as her. ¡­ The wedding was over, the banquet was over, and the villagers who had come to attend the wedding of the second son of the Lan family dispersed one after another. Lan Shu arranged a car in advance to send Deputy Mayor Tian and other guests from the house of second sister-in-law Tian Na back to Linjiang City. At Lan''s house, there are still some things to deal with. Since Lan Xinya is here, she doesn''t plan to leave today. As the biological daughter of the Lan family, besides attending her second brother''s wedding ceremony, Lan Xinya also wants to get in touch with her second brother more and make friends with her. This was Lan Xinya''s initial thought. But she didn''t expect that when she came to the Lan''s house this time, during the wedding and banquet, she heard the villagers chatting in a few words, and then realized that Lan Shu is not the only one who is prosperous in the Lan''s family! Among the three sons of the Lan family, it is not only the second son, Lan Xiuming, who has some skills. At some point, the Lan family actually started a business! The silly big boss built a free-range chicken farm on the mountain behind the village, planted an orchard, and opened a fruit processing factory. The old couple of the Lan family, her biological parents, also opened a small shop selling fried chicken in Linjiang City, and the business was good¡ª At this time, Lan Xinya realized that she had received 5,000 yuan a few years ago, of which 3,000 was given by her biological parents, and 2,000 was added by her adoptive parents. At that time, Lan Xinya was surprised that her biological parents in the country could give out 3,000 yuan? Now that I think about it, the Lan family has already started business, opened a store, and opened a processing factory, so they are still short of the three thousand? With the current financial resources of the Lan family, the three thousand yuan at the beginning was simply sent to her casually! Lan Xinya doesn''t know how the Lan family became prosperous from a poor family, but now, the Lan family is not only rich, but her second brother is married to the deputy mayor''s daughter! Such a Lan family, Lan Xinya doesn''t have the slightest thought of disgusting her! She just wants to recognize the Lan family and be the daughter of the Lan family! So when the three brothers of the Lan family were busy cleaning up the main room and yard after the guests had left, Lan Xinya went over to help graciously. Not far away, Xiaobai came over after finishing his work in the kitchen, and what he saw was that there was someone more in the yard of Lan''s house at some point, and he was helping Brother Da Zhuang to work hard. If it is said that Lan Xinya''s purpose of coming to Lan''s house today was for Lan Xiuming, who is a doctor. Now, the person she mainly cares about is Lan Dazhuang who has contracted the back mountain, opened a chicken farm, planted an orchard, and opened a fruit processing factory. Lan Xinya didn''t know that these properties were jointly owned by the three brothers of the Lan family and the four Lan Shu. She just heard from the villagers who didn''t know that Lan Dazhuang did all these things, so she thought it was all the work of Lan Dazhuang alone. That''s why Lan Dazhuang is the best one in the Lan family! "Brother Zhuang, let me clean it up for you." "Brother Zhuang, I will wash these dishes later." "Brother Zhuang, I found that our eyes look alike. We are indeed brothers and sisters." "Brother Zhuang, your son is so cute. I also have a son, but it''s a pity that he is not very smart." In order to flatter Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xinya even brought out her own son''s shortcomings, just to coax Lan Dazhuang and make Lan Dazhuang feel that her own child is better than anyone else''s! Seeing Lan Xinya chasing Lan Dazhuang around to work and please, Chang Chunfang persuaded her several times, each time saying that she finally went home and let her rest. But Lan Xinya didn''t appreciate it at all, she was willing to work beside Lan Dazhuang. Aside, Lan Shu saw it, and probably understood Lan Xinya''s purpose. Xiao Bai was beside Lan Shu, thinking, it seems that Lan Xinya knew about the prosperity of the Lan family. Xiao Bai didn''t point out, and Lan Shu didn''t make a sound. She even moved a stool and sat under the eaves of her room door, watching Lan Xinya go about her business leisurely. and her elder brother are extremely upset! Although Lan Xinya has done a lot of work for Lan Dazhuang, Lan Dazhuang thinks that Lan Xinya is really annoying! Always buzzing in his ears, he just does the work, why so much talk? ! Besides Lan Shu and Xiaobai who knew it well, the Lan family, Lan Sibo and Lan Xiuming also understood the reason why their blood sisters kept chasing after their elder brother to talk. As for Lan Shengli¡ª Today is the wedding day of his second son. There were too many people toasting at noon. He drank too much without restraining himself and was sleeping in the house. So Lan Shengli didn''t know that Lan Xinya changed her previous arrogance and tried her best to curry favor with their family. (end of this chapter) Chapter 424: cant stay Chapter 424 Can''t stay Lan Xinya''s arrival soon let Tian Na, who was newly married into the Lan family, know that the Lan family actually had a biological daughter! However, Tian Na could tell that the brothers of the Lan family treated Lan Shu, a little girl who was not born to her parents, much better than her own sister! Just look at her sister-in-law, Lan Shu, sitting there idly drinking tea from beginning to end, the attitude the three brothers are accustomed to. While her younger sister, Lan Xinya, was helping the family with the work, the three of them also showed disgusted eyes with different expressions. Looking at it this way, Tian Na certainly knows who is her real sister-in-law! So Tian Na moved a stool and sat not far from Lan Shu. As for the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lan family, Tang Chu, she took her children to play in the village and didn''t stay at home right now. The Lan family, the three brothers and Xiao Bai, the son-in-law of the Lan family, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house together. Chang Chunfang boiled a pot of fire tea in the kitchen, and brought out a bowl for everyone. Lan Xinya took the bowl from Chang Chunfang, and seeing the tea boiled in the bowl with some precipitated tea dregs, she suddenly felt unable to drink it! It is Tian Na, although she is the daughter of the deputy mayor''s family, but Tian Na is definitely not as delicate as the eldest lady. Tian Na works in the hospital, and she knows very well that the tea made from the fire-reducing herbs freshly picked in the countryside will inevitably have boiled leaves that settle at the bottom of the bowl. So Tian Na picked up the bowl and started to drink "Gudu~gudu~"¡ª At the entrance, she also found that rock sugar was added to the Quhuo tea, and the sweet taste overwhelmed the slight bitterness in the original tea, making this bowl of Quhuo tea refreshing and relieves greasiness. After drinking tea, the next thing is to discuss Lan Xinya''s sudden visit to Lan''s house. There were no outsiders around at the moment, so Chang Chunfang asked Lan Xinya how her life was going these past few years. Lan Shu already knew about the divorce between Lan Xinya and Meng Heng, and now she heard Lan Xinya talk about how bad her life in Meng''s house was. If Lan Shu didn''t know what the Meng family was like, she might have believed Lan Xinya''s nonsense! Among the brothers of the Lan family, last month the third eldest, Lan Sibo, went to see his niece at his younger sister''s house on vacation, and happened to meet the second elder of the Meng family who sent his grandson to play with Xiao Qingning. Although he didn''t have much contact with them, Lan Sibo could also tell that the old couple of the Meng family were good people. Otherwise, his younger sister would not deal with the Meng family. So now listening to Lan Xinya''s words, Lan Sibo immediately knew that Lan Xinya was full of lies, pure nonsense! But when Lan Sibo saw his mother''s teary eyes and her distress for his biological daughter, he also knew that even if he told the truth, his mother would not believe it. So he simply said nothing¡ª Besides Lan Sibo, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming didn''t fully believe Lan Xinya''s words. What kind of person is their own sister? Although they haven''t been together for a long time, they can see clearly. With Lan Xinya''s personality, whoever she married into, if she didn''t look for trouble, even the other family''s family would be honored, how could she be bullied? That''s what their mother believed Lan Xinya said. After working hard for a while, Chang Chunfang has completely forgotten Lan Xinya''s disgust for their poor family. The mother and daughter are as close as a family, and they don''t look like strangers before, and haven''t seen each other for several years. Seeing her adoptive mother accepting Lan Xinya, Lan Shu turned her head and glanced at her three older brothers. Lan Dazhuang was sullen, obviously unhappy. Lan Xiuming frowned. Lan Sibo directly rolled his eyes to express his feelings~! As the sons of this family, although they cannot influence the choices of the elders, they can follow their own thoughts. Lan Dazhuang felt that Lan Xinya was quite hypocritical and annoying to watch, so he went out with a **** under the pretext of having to work. Lan Xiuming took his wife''s hand and went back to the room to rest. Lan Sibo leaned in front of Lan Shu, yelling, "I can''t stay any longer, I''ll go back to raise pigs tomorrow." Hearing Lan Sibo''s words, Lan Xinya immediately looked at the third child of the Lan family. She thought of the profession of her third brother who was related by blood. Even though she knew that the Lan family had already developed, she still looked down upon this third brother. "If you go out to raise pigs for others, it''s better to come back and work at your own home. Didn''t your parents open a fried chicken shop? Third brother, if you ask me, you might as well quit your job and come back to help your parents share the burden." Lan Xinya felt that what she said was entirely for Lan Sibo''s sake. After all, how much money can raising pigs make? She is in business herself, and she knows that doing business is more profitable than working for others. So in the entire Lan family, only the third child is useless. As a younger sister, she should mention a few more things if she can. If the youngest of the Lan family can listen to him, he will definitely thank him if he makes money in the future. But what Lan Xinya thought she was kind to others, passed into Lan Sibo''s ears, which only made him feel unlucky! Born to the same parents, why did Lan Xinya appear in their Lan family? If he does not raise pigs, it will be a loss to the country! So Lan Sibo couldn''t listen to a word. He turned his head to look at his younger sister, sighed and said, "Little sister, lend me a car and take me to the county seat. I suddenly thought that I have something to do with my unit, so I have to go back early!" In this way, he can also lose sight of Lan Xinya and not be upset. Lan Sibo didn''t want to see Lan Xinya, but he couldn''t tell Lan Xinya to leave because of his mother, so he better slip away~! When Lan Shu heard that Lan Sibo was leaving, she understood how third brother felt. Lan Shu nodded, and called her dedicated driver, asking the driver to take the Tian family back to Linjiang City, and then return to pick up her third brother. While Lan Shu was making a phone call, Lan Xinya, who was standing in the yard talking to Chang Chunfang, finally understood. She found that the three brothers of the Lan family seemed to ignore her? It was her biological mother Chang Chunfang who treated her best. Seeing this point, Lan Xinya asked Chang Chunfang, "Mom, I''m coming back this time, and I plan to stay at home for a few days. Where will I sleep tonight?" Lan Xinya wants to take this opportunity to get along well with the Lan family. As long as she becomes the daughter of the Lan family in Tianshui Village, she will have a share of the money the family earns in the future! During lunch today, Lan Xinya had already heard about it from the chatter of the villagers. In the Lan family, in addition to the money earned by Lan Dazhuang contracting the back mountain, the second elders of the Lan family, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, opened a fried chicken restaurant in Linjiang City, and they can earn tens of thousands a year at least! That is much better than her working hard selling clothes and earning hundreds of dollars a month. Lan Xinya was even thinking that the eldest of the Lan family has chicken farms, orchards, and processing plants, the second child of the Lan family is a doctor, and has a solid job. Then the fried chicken restaurant of her biological parents, isn''t she the only one who is the most suitable to take over in the future? Thinking of this, Lan Xinya''s attitude towards Chang Chunfang became more attentive! (end of this chapter) Chapter 425: Ashamed Chapter 425 Ashamed opposite, Chang Chunfang heard Xinya plan to live at home, and the smile on her happy face never stopped. But where does Xinya live? This made Chang Chunfang worry. Both the eldest and the second child are married and live with their daughter-in-law. Shushu is also married, and has Xiaobai by her side. Moreover, Chang Chunfang still remembered that Shushu and Xinya had a bad relationship, so she didn''t plan to arrange the two daughters together. In the end, only the third child¡¯s room was left. Chang Chunfang just heard from the third child that he was going back to work and asked Shushu to arrange a car for him. It seems that the third child will not live at home tonight. So Xinya''s residence at home these days, isn''t this already there? "Xinya, you can stay in your third brother''s room tonight." Chang Chunfang said. Lan Sibo who heard Chang Chunfang''s decision: ... He was too annoyed by his feelings, so he avoided Lan Xinya, but in the end he gave Lan Xinya room? Lan Sibo suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a fly in his mouth, and felt very uncomfortable. He didn''t even want to leave! Otherwise, if Lan Xinya lives in his room, then next time he goes home, his own room will not be able to live in it? There is no place to sleep, so if he continues to live, he panics~! But in the end, Lan Sibo decided to leave. Although Lan Xinya is his own sister, he just dislikes Lan Xinya from the bottom of his heart! Beside Lan Sibo, Lan Shu originally planned to stay at home with Xiaobai for a few days, but now that Lan Xinya came, she really lost her mood. So when the driver Master Zhang drove to Tianshui Village to pick up people in the afternoon, besides Lan Sibo, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai also drove back to Qingyang County together. Now, for Lan Xinya, as soon as the eye-catching person leaves, she immediately feels that she has more room to play in the past few days at Lan''s house~! So Lan Shu and Lan Sibo are clean, poor brothers Lan Dazhuang and Lan Xiuming, they don''t feel comfortable at home for a while. Fortunately, Lan Xiuming and Tian Na are working in the hospital, and their wedding leave is limited. Lan Dazhuang also had an excuse to avoid going out to work. After Lan Shengli sobered up, he spent a few days with his biological daughter Lan Xinya. After he saw the purpose of Lan Xinya''s confession and returning home, Lan Shengli also left the village and went to Linjiang City to do business in the store. It wasn''t until everyone in the family left that Chang Chunfang realized that the rest of the family disapproved of the biological daughter she recognized? Regarding this, Chang Chunfang cried in front of Lan Xinya! She felt that the whole family could not understand her mood! Xinya is her biological daughter, a piece of flesh that fell from her body! All the previous events were due to Xinya''s young age and ignorance. Now that Xinya is willing to come back, as family members, why can''t they give Xinya a chance to reform? Because of this reason, Chang Chunfang loves her daughter even more. So when Lan Xinya left Lan''s house, Chang Chunfang reluctantly sent her biological daughter out, and stuffed a thousand dollars in Lan Xinya''s pocket. Chang Chunfang is now helping the old family take care of the children. The thousand yuan in her hand is usually given to her by Lan Shengli and Lan Dazhuang. The business of the fried chicken shop is now in charge of Lan Shengli, so the family accounts are in his hands. Chang Chunfang didn''t hide the money from Lan Shengli, and after Lan Shengli learned about it, because a thousand yuan was not much for their family now, he turned a blind eye to this matter. It''s over. But Lan Xinya, who got the money, tasted the sweetness, how could she stop there? She came back to stay for a few days when Lan Xiuming got married in early May, and in July she brought Meng Dabao back to her hometown as an excuse to recognize her family. Called Chang Chunfang at the end of August, saying that her son Meng Dabao was going to kindergarten, and the kindergarten in Kyoto was different from that in the countryside, and needed money for various things. In October, Lan Xinya went directly to Linjiang City to meet her parents. Before leaving, she even took food and food, including four pieces of fried chicken and 500 yuan in money. This was because Lan Shengli was upset that Lan Xinya frequently had reasons to ask his family for money, so Chang Chunfang didn''t give one thousand this time, but five hundred. Giving out five hundred yuan, Chang Chunfang still felt that her own daughter was suffering. It''s not that their family has no money, so what can they do if they give Xinya thousands of dollars? Seeing that Chunfang was unhappy, Lan Shengli lost face immediately! The couple have lived together for more than 30 years, and the relationship has always been harmonious. For the first time, there is a disagreement! "Chunfang, do the math yourself, from May to now, how much did you give Xinya in five months?" Maybe Chang Chunfang didn''t think about it, but Lan Shengli knew it very well. "The second child got married, and Xinya came back with fifty yuan as a gift, and you gave one thousand when she left. In July, Xinya came back with Dabao, and you gave Dabao a meeting gift, and gave Xinya two thousand." "At the end of August, Xinya said that the child needed money to go to school, and you took out another thousand. This time it was 500 yuan, a total of 4,500 yuan!" Listening to her old man''s careful calculation, Chang Chunfang realized that she had given Xinya a lot of money in the past few months. An ordinary family can live a good life with 50 yuan a month, but she gave Xinya 4,500 yuan in just five months! How could Xinya spend all this money in a short time? So Chang Chunfang decided that the next time Xinya came back, she would prepare delicious food and drink, and forget about taking money. But Chang Chunfang''s thoughts did not satisfy Lan Shengli. Lan Shengli looked at Chang Chunfang, and his tone became serious. "Chunfang, you want to recognize your own daughter, I have no objection, but think about it, since Xinya came back, how long have we not seen Shushu?" What Lan Shengli cares about the most is that Shu Shu has almost no contact with them these days. In the past, no matter how busy Shu Shu was, every time she returned to Qingyang County, she would stop by Linjiang City to see them. But now that he can''t see Shushu, Lan Shengli feels frizzy and uncomfortable every day. Lan Shengli doesn''t think that Shushu is the kind who will blame them when they recognize their own daughter. Because of this, Lan Shengli felt even more guilty towards Shushu when he watched his wife keep giving Xinya money from the family. Shushu grew up by their side until she was eighteen years old, and there were very few of them who could help Shushu. But Xinya has only been with them for a few days~! Chunfang seemed to want to give Xinya all her wealth¡ª Even if Shushu is not short of money, they can''t just give Xinya the family''s money just because of this. All these things made Lan Shengli feel that it was no wonder Shushu didn''t come back to see them! Seeing the sad look of her old man, Chang Chunfang finally realized, yes, she hasn''t seen Shushu for a while! Did I make Shushu unhappy because I recognized Xinya back? (end of this chapter) Chapter 426: clear head Chapter 426 Sober After having this idea, Chang Chunfang almost subconsciously compared Shushu and Xinya in her mind. Although Xinya is indeed her biological daughter, but in terms of closeness, Shushu is the child she grew up with! Now she only cares about Xinya, and ignores Shushu''s behavior. Anyone else would feel chilled, right? At this moment, Chang Chunfang hesitated. She doesn''t want to lose her two daughters, but what can she do so that Shushu doesn''t blame her as a mother for being good to the other daughter? At this time, Lan Xinya contacted Chang Chunfang again¡ª ¡­ In Kyoto, as people''s lives get better and better, housing prices are gradually rising. Lan Xinya is currently renting a house. Half a month ago, the landlord contacted her and said that she did not intend to rent out any more. The landlord''s son is going to get married soon, so he plans to sell the house, and then raise some money to buy a new house in a high-end community as a wedding house for his son. The house Lan Xinya lives in now is a small two-story house with a small courtyard, with two rooms above and three rooms below with a kitchen. Lan Xinya usually lives on the first floor, with two rooms, one as a bedroom and the other as a living room. Upstairs is where she used it as a warehouse to store clothes temporarily. This house is relatively close to the Huamei shopping mall where Lan Xinya opened her shop, so it is very convenient for her to live in. Besides, she has lived here for more than a year and is familiar with this place. Lan Xinya didn''t want to move out for a while. Knowing that the landlord was going to sell the house, she asked about the price of the house. Four or five years ago, a house of the size and location in Kyoto would cost around 3,000 yuan at most. But now the housing price has risen a lot, and the location is close to the shopping mall, so the landlord asked for 5,500 yuan. But the landlord said that after all, Lan Xinya is a regular tenant here, so if she wants it, she will give it a cheaper price, and sell it for five thousand and three. The direct loss of two hundred yuan, of course Lan Xinya would consider this kind of thing. In addition, she really likes this house, so Lan Xinya counted her savings. In the past three years, she has been in the clothing business. From the beginning, she made a profit of more than a hundred yuan a month, and then made a little more profit, but it was only more than two hundred yuan. In the last year, she also hired a shop assistant to help her sell clothes. Although the store is making money, the wages paid to others can be deducted, but the profit has not increased much. Including her own expenses on weekdays, after three years of opening the store, the money she saved from the profits on hand is less than two thousand! Fortunately, in the past few months, she has been in touch with her biological parents, and Chang Chunfang has given her more than 4,000 yuan one after another. Even if she spent some, she still has 4,000 yuan to save. As for the money she got from the Lan family in Kyoto and her biological parents when she got married and gave birth, she spent part of it, and kept the rest as the purchase cost of the business, so she couldn''t move it. But even so, her money is enough to buy a house~! Although Lan Xinya has money to buy a house, but she can spend thousands of dollars all at once, she really feels distressed! Lan Xinya thought, buying a house is also a big deal. How can her biological parents support her in this kind of thing? So Lan Xinya called her mother Chang Chunfang in Linjiang City. On the phone, she told Chang Chunfang about her plan to buy a house. "Mom, ever since my adoptive parents learned that I was not their biological daughter, they treated me worse than before. Especially after I got married, my adoptive parents almost lost contact with me, so when I encountered something, I also It¡¯s not a good idea to ask them for help.¡± "I grew up in Kyoto, but until now, I don''t even have a home!" "The idea of ??buying a house this time is not impulsive. I have long wanted to build a home for myself, but I had no money before. Now I have some, but it is not enough. I hope you can help me." Lan Xinya''s words are so reasonable that Chang Chunfang, who is soft-hearted, cannot bear it. So even though Chang Chunfang had made a decision before and would not give Xinya money casually, buying a house now is a big deal for Xinya! She has no intention of refusing at all! "Xinya, how much money do you have?" Chang Chunfang asked. When Lan Xinya heard this, she knew in her heart that it was all right! So she told Chang Chunfang, "I''m eight or nine hundred yuan short..." She didn''t ask for more, after all, Chang Chunfang had already given a lot in the past few months. The reason why she said eight or nine hundred now is that Chang Chunfang can really give eight or nine hundred? Lan Xinya can be sure that one thousand yuan will be available soon! Of course Chang Chunfang is willing to use 1,000 yuan to help her own daughter at a critical moment, but in the past few months, almost all of the money she saved has been given to Xinya! This is the big red envelope that my sons and daughters don¡¯t forget to honor their parents every year during the Chinese New Year. Including the monthly household allowances from the eldest son and the old man in the family, we can scrape together more than 4,000 yuan. Now she doesn''t have a thousand dollars, not even five hundred dollars! So Chang Chunfang didn''t agree to give money, but planned to go to the store to discuss it with the old man. Chang Chunfang felt that if her biological daughter wanted to buy a house, Sheng Sheng, the father, couldn''t afford to pay nothing, right? So Chang Chunfang asked Lan Xinya to wait for her news, she hung up the phone, turned around and put her eldest grandson to sleep, and then went out by herself. Chang Chunfang calculated the time before going out. Normally, Junjun would take a nap for two hours, but it only took ten minutes to walk to the fried chicken restaurant at home. It takes more than half an hour for her to come and go, and when the grandson wakes up, she will already be at home. Chang Chunfang had a good plan, but she went to the fried chicken shop and told Lan Shengli that her daughter needed money to buy a house. Lan Shengli said on the spot that he would not give a thousand yuan. It''s not because he is biased and treats his own daughter harshly, but even if the house price in Kyoto is higher than that in Linjiang City, it won''t be too high, right? In the past few months, they have given Xinya four thousand five thousand one after another. In addition, Xinya has been in business for three years, so how can she have no savings at all? Since Lan Shengli started his business, he has basically learned how to settle accounts without a teacher. So unless Xinya wants to buy a big house that ordinary people cannot afford, Xinya has enough money for an ordinary house! This is only the money they gave, and the money she earned from doing business with Xinya. Lan Shengli still hasn''t forgotten the 3,000 yuan they took when Xinya got married and had a baby. I heard that Xinya''s adoptive parents returned 10,000 yuan. Isn''t this money enough for Xinya to buy a house? At this moment, Lan Shengli was very clear-headed. At first, Chang Chunfang felt that her old man did not recognize her daughter in his heart, so she was unwilling to give even one thousand yuan. After hearing the old man''s analysis, she realized that Xinya would not be out of money to buy a house. Is Xinya really planning to buy some kind of big mansion? (end of this chapter) Chapter 427: lost Chapter 427 lost Thinking of this, Chang Chunfang called Xinya when she was about to go back, and asked Xinya to do what she could about buying a house. There is an old saying in the countryside, the bigger the fish, the bigger the fish. Xinya does not have a big business like Shushu, and has enough money to buy a big house. When it comes to buying a house, just buy within your ability. At this moment, Chang Chunfang didn''t know that when she went out to find Lan Shengli to discuss with Lan Shengli about buying a house for her own daughter, and they supported some money, at home, her three-year-old grandson, Junjun, woke up not long after falling asleep today. Junjun woke up, but found that no adult at home was there. Junjun, who has never been separated from adults, is terrified. So he ran out of the house, barefoot, crying¡ª ¡­ When Chang Chunfang came back, the room was quiet. She thought her eldest grandson was still sleeping, so she washed clothes in the yard. After waiting for an hour, Chang Chunfang went into the house to wake up her eldest grandson after checking that the time was almost up. But when she entered the room, she saw that the blanket in the bedroom was thrown on the floor, and her eldest grandson, Junjun, was not on the bed! Where did Junjun go? Chang Chunfang''s heart skipped a beat! She searched everywhere in the house, calling Junjun''s name while searching, but she didn''t get any response¡ª¡ª At this moment, Chang Chunfang was so frightened that his back was covered with cold sweat! She immediately ran to the main room and called her old man. "Junjun is gone!" ¡­ In the fried chicken restaurant two miles away from home, Lan Shengli was putting semi-finished fried chicken into the frying pan one by one, when he suddenly heard the phone ringing in the corner of the store. He was so busy that he couldn''t move his hands, so he asked the apprentice in the store to help answer the phone. But the phone was picked up, and soon, Xiao Yang, the apprentice who followed him to learn how to make fried chicken, was stunned, and then Xiao Yang immediately relayed what he heard to Lan Shengli¡ª "Uncle, it was my aunt who called, she said that Junjun is gone!" "Junjun...is gone?" Lan Shengli was startled, then immediately put down the work in hand, wiped his hands with a clean wet towel, and then took the landline phone in Xiao Yang''s hand. "What''s going on? Why is Junjun missing?" He asked. Lan Shengli didn''t feel too anxious at first, the child is young, maybe he hid in a corner of the room? He shared his thoughts with his partner, but Chang Chunfang''s panicked voice came¡ª "I''ve searched all over the house! I called Junjun everywhere, but he just didn''t show up!" Chang Chunfang said, crying in her voice, "Shengli, come back quickly, let''s look around the house together!" Chang Chunfang has a limited speed of finding people alone, so two people search together, so that the chance of finding someone will be greater. Lan Shengli finally became nervous when he heard this! He said something into the phone, "I''ll be right back!" Then took off the apron on his body, handed over the affairs of the store to Xiao Yang, left the store by himself, and ran towards the direction of the residence quickly¡ª ¡­ The news that Lan Juncheng, the eldest grandson of the Lan family, had disappeared, reached Lan Xiuming, who was working at the Linjiang City Hospital, two hours later. The old couple Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli searched everywhere near the door of their house, but they couldn''t find anyone. I just heard from the owner of a nearby bun shop that he saw a three or four-year-old child crying on the road with bare feet. Later, a man in a gray-blue plaid shirt talked to the child for a while, and then took the child away. Hearing this clue, both Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli understood that their grandson must have been abducted! Chang Chunfang cried heart-rendingly, her eyes were red with regret. Although Lan Shengli was also frowning, he was still able to keep calm. He first called his second son and told him about the incident, and then went to the Linjiang City Public Security Brigade to report the incident. Finally, I contacted the in-laws of my second child, hoping to find someone to help find the child. Deputy Mayor Tian was surprised when he learned that the grandson of the Lan family was missing. Not to mention the in-law relationship, even if a child from an ordinary family is lost, he will treat it with caution when he finds out. So Deputy Mayor Tian made a few phone calls and sent as many people as possible to find the child. But after searching all night, the Lan family did not receive news that the child was found... ¡­ Early the next morning, Lan Shu had just finished her breakfast when she received a call from her elder brother. On the phone, Lan Dazhuang, who was always speaking in a vigorous manner, now had obvious fatigue and hoarseness in his voice. "Little sister, Junjun is lost..." Lan Dazhuang said, the hand holding the phone on the other side of the phone was shaking, and tears rolled in his eyes. He found out about his missing son last night. After hearing the news, Lan Dazhuang immediately drove a tractor to pick up his wife in the county seat, and the two arrived in Linjiang City overnight! The public security brigade sent people to look for it in the afternoon, but Linjiang City is so big, if the child is really hidden, it will not be so easy to find. One night, Tang Chu''s eyes were swollen from crying, and the wind blew on the tractor in the middle of the night, and when she arrived at the house bought by the second elder of the Lan family in the city, she fell ill with a high fever! Chang Chunfang had just lost her grandson, and she was full of self-blame, and then she was about to face her sick eldest daughter-in-law, and she felt guilty. When Tang Chu learned that his son was missing, it was because his mother-in-law left the child alone at home, and went to the in-law shop to discuss buying a house for their biological daughter. The mother-in-law who was like a real mother in Tang Chu''s eyes made her feel angry and resentful at this moment! She knew that even if she went to question her mother-in-law, how could she leave a child under four years old alone at home? But the son has been lost, and the mother-in-law can''t give her any explanation. So Tang Chu felt resentful and didn''t want to see her mother-in-law again! After learning that her son was lost by her mother-in-law, Tang Chu had already made a decision in her heart. If her son was found, she would quit her job and bring her with her, and never ask her mother-in-law to help her again! Kyoto. Lan Shu was stunned when she heard what her elder brother said at home! Then the mood became tense. "How did Junjun get lost? Did you report the crime? Did the law enforcement team look for it? How long has Junjun been lost?" Junjun is Lan Shu''s first nephew. Although they don''t see each other often, Lan Shu still pays close attention to Junjun because of her elder brother. Every time she goes back, she always brings gifts for Junjun. She asks Tang Chu to choose the clothes that Junjun wears all year round in the factory and take them back for Junjun to wear. During the Chinese New Year, she will even give Junjun a big red envelope! Junjun is only half a year younger than her little Qingning. How could such a naughty and cute little boy be lost? When Lan Shu learned from her elder brother why Junjun had disappeared, she also learned that Lan Xinya had asked her adoptive mother for money many times in the past few months in order to recruit her son. This time, the adoptive mother carelessly lost the child in order to raise money for Lan Xinya. Lan Shu immediately frowned! (end of this chapter) Chapter 428: lost and found Chapter 428 Lost and found It wasn''t enough for Lan Xinya to harm her own son, but now even her eldest brother''s son is indirectly because of her, so he can''t find it? ! Of course, the main reason for the loss of her nephew was that her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang did not take care of her properly. Lan Shu didn''t understand, hadn''t her adoptive mother been hurt enough by Lan Xinya before? A biological daughter who hasn''t seen each other for more than ten years, and a Lan Xinya who once disliked the poverty of her original family and now re-establishes a relationship with her family for money, can she make her desperate? This matter did not spread to Lan Shu, otherwise she would not forgive her adoptive mother if she thought about it differently. Now, it was her elder brother and sister-in-law Tang Chu who lost the child, so no matter what her elder brother thinks, Lan Shu knows that if Jun Jun can''t be found, Tang Chu will never forgive her mother-in-law in this lifetime! Even if the child can be found back, the harmonious relationship between Tang Chu and Chang Chunfang''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will never return to the past... Right now, Lan Shu didn''t think too much, she first thought about finding a child. "Brother, you guys find it first, and I will figure out a way." Lan Shu said. Lan Dazhuang actually didn''t expect his little sister to be of any help in this matter. After all, the little girl is far away in Kyoto, and I don''t know many people here in Linjiang City. What can I do? He told his little sister about this, just because he was depressed and uncomfortable, and had nowhere to vent his emotions, so he wanted to find someone who could talk to him to ease his mood. Lan Dazhuang trusted his younger sister the most, so he would call and talk to her. Ended the call, Lan Shu was not as Lan Dazhuang imagined, and couldn''t help anything. Although she has nothing to do with finding a child in Linjiang City, there is someone in her family who can help! So Lan Shu told Xiao Bai about her missing nephew. Afterwards, Xiaobai immediately went to Grandpa''s house. Immediately afterwards, the entire J side of Linjiang City mobilized to search for the missing child. But no one thought that Junjun had been kidnapped and left Linjiang City at this time. Even out of the province¡­ ¡­ Hu Er came from a small mountain village around Yunshi. He used to farm land in the village in his early years, but he felt that farming was too hard. Just in time for the reform and opening up, he heard that there were many job opportunities outside, so he came out of the village to find a job. In order to make money and survive, Hu Er washes dishes in restaurants, moves bricks to construction sites, in short, he has done any kind of work. Later, by chance, Hu Er met a woman who also came out of the mountain village to find a job opportunity. The woman is Gao Cai, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, ordinary-looking, but very rich. She and Hu Er have the same background experience, and they hit it off right away, so Gao Cai said that she would make a fortune with Hu Er. With a better understanding of Gaocai, Huer realized that Gaocai is in the business of children¡ª It is to abduct children and sell them to families who cannot have children. Huer thought this kind of thing was too immoral at first, so he didn''t plan to do it, but when he learned that a single business can earn two hundred to five hundred yuan, the money is touching, so he no longer hesitated. Gao Cai said that the most taboo thing for people in their line of work is to stay in one place for too long, so Hu Er, who has just entered the industry, listened to Gao Cai''s words and immediately changed places after working for one vote. It is also because of this that he escaped the search of the law enforcement team in Linjiang City and was not caught. Hu Er and Gao Cai have a clear division of labor, he is responsible for abducting the baby, and Gao Cai is responsible for finding the seller. The situation this time is the same as usual, Hu Er is about to hand over the little boy who has taken the medicine and passed out to Gao Cai, waiting to collect the money. But at this time, he suddenly saw a missing person announcement on TV¡ª "Recently, a three or four-year-old boy was lost in Linjiang City. When the child left home, he was wearing dark pants, a brown jacket, and no shoes." "If anyone finds the whereabouts of the child, or provides effective clues, I will be very grateful! Those who can send the child back will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan." Seeing the reward of 10,000 yuan, looking at the little boy next to him, and the location of the missing child broadcast on TV, Hu suddenly felt that he was so close to 10,000 yuan! A child worth 10,000 yuan, what kind of country do you give away~! So Hu Er took the child back to a small county next to Linjiang City, and then called the contact number on the missing person notice¡ª At this time, five days have passed since the eldest grandson of the Lan family disappeared. It is reasonable to say that when the child has been lost for 48 hours and has not been found, the hope of basically finding it is already slim. So on the third day, Lan Shu went to the TV station, found the director in person, and paid a lot of money to advertise this missing person. Actually, the TV station had no plans to broadcast this type of advertisement. But firstly, Lan Shu is considered an insider, able to meet high-level executives in Taiwan, and secondly, her advertising expenses are not low. Most importantly, she told the director that she was going to pay for a new program on the TV station. Because of various reasons, the leaders of the TV station held an emergency meeting before agreeing to broadcast the missing person advertisement on TV. However, such advertisements are also time-limited, and can only be posted for a maximum of ten days, and the advertisement will be removed after ten days. Although there were various requirements and restrictions, Lan Shu did not hesitate to make this advertisement. As a result, on the third day after the ad was published, she received a call¡ª "Hello? Are you the child''s family? I picked up a child on the road yesterday..." Listening to what the other party said on the phone, after Lan Shu promised that if the child was found correctly, she would pay the other party 10,000 yuan as a reward, she and the person on the phone agreed on a time and place to meet. Hung up the phone, Lan Shu immediately contacted the driver, and headed for Hengshui County not far from Linjiang City that day¡ª Lan Shu didn''t even ask Xiao Bai to go with her because she left in such a hurry. But in the car, she called Xiao Bai. "Get your money ready, and, bring your people!" she said. Lan Shu will never break her promise to the person on the phone, and she will not lose a penny of the 10,000 yuan remuneration. But at the same time, is the other party a child picked up, or a child kidnapped? That''s another matter! If the kidnapping is true, then those who do evil things will pay the price! ¡­ That night, the driver, Master Zhang, drove Lan Shu to Hengshui County. Although Xiaobai was a step late, he had already arranged in advance to let the local law enforcement team in the county meet up with his wife in secret first. There was nothing wrong with the arrest process. After the law enforcement team detained Hu Er, Lan Shu saw her nephew. These days, Junjun spends most of his time sleeping, and only eats a few mouthfuls of food when he wakes up, as long as he doesn¡¯t starve to death. Because Huer was going to take the child to meet with the child''s family today, he didn''t give Junjun any medicine. But even so, Junjun''s mental state was not good, and when he was picked up by Lan Shu, he didn''t even have the strength to cry. (end of this chapter) Chapter 429: think it over Chapter 429 Think it over When the Lan family, Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu, and the old couple rushed over after hearing the news, they saw Junjun with a pale face, and he had already fallen asleep in the back seat of Lanshu''s car. At this moment, Tang Chu couldn''t help but cry, but his crying was full of fear and joy of regaining his loss. Lan Dazhuang also raised his hand to wipe the tears on his face. He finally let go of his heavy heart these days. Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli saw that their grandson was safe and sound, and Lan Shengli''s heart that has been hanging over him can be regarded as settled. And Chang Chunfang wanted to go over to see her grandson, but was stopped by Tang Chu who was holding back his crying¡ª "The child is asleep, so don''t disturb him." When Tang Chu spoke, his voice was deep and cold, and he didn''t even look at Chang Chunfang. She refused the child''s grandma to approach the child. Although Lan Dazhuang felt that something was wrong, he did not stop it. He knew that his wife was frightened this time! His mother lost the child, it is understandable for the daughter-in-law not to forgive for a while. In the future, slowly, everything will pass... As soon as the people from the Lan family arrived, Xiao Bai also rushed over by car. He brought 10,000 yuan in cash as Lan Shu said. Lan Shu took the money and handed it directly to the county law enforcement team who stayed at the scene to investigate the situation later. "Please help me transfer the 10,000 yuan to Hu''s Second Hand, and tell him that luckily the child is fine, and he only needs to stay in prison for a few years, otherwise, if something goes wrong with the child, he will never think about it for the rest of his life." Already!" Although Lan Shu''s voice was not loud, but her tone made people listen to it, and she couldn''t help but feel chills in her heart. No one would doubt that she would not do what she said. Lan Dazhuang watched his little sister offer 10,000 yuan to traffickers. Although he disagreed, he knew it was because his little sister kept her word. Thinking that the younger sister spent money to help him find a son, Lan Dazhuang immediately opened his mouth. "Little sister, I will transfer the 10,000 yuan to you later." "No need." Lan Shu shook her head. "I asked the TV station to do the advertisement for the missing person notice, and I set the price for the promised remuneration, so I can just pay the money. I am also the child''s aunt, so it is only natural to help find the child." Lan Shu doesn''t care about gaining or losing 10,000 yuan, as long as her family is safe. Lan Dazhuang understands his little sister''s character, as long as it is something she decides, there is no room for change. So Lan Dazhuang didn''t mention the matter of transferring money to the younger sister. But the ten thousand yuan, he kept it in his heart! This is not only the younger sister''s concern for her nephew, but also the brother-sister relationship for him, the elder brother! He won''t say anything nice, in short, he will find an opportunity to repay the younger sister double in the future! ¡­ A day later, in the hospital, all of Junjun''s physical examination reports came out. Lan Xiuming personally conducted various inspections on his nephew, and confirmed that the child had no other injuries except for the excessive content of benzodiazepines in his body. The side effects of benzodiazepines are headaches and fatigue. After giving Junjun a drip, the side effects on Junjun gradually subsided. During this process, Tang Chu guarded his son almost every step of the way. The old couple Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli wanted to get closer, but Lan Dazhuang persuaded them to go back. "Father, Mom, please give my wife more time alone with the children..." Lan Dazhuang could see that his daughter-in-law rejected him. In order not to make his mother too sad, Lan Dazhuang directly blocked his father! This will also make his mother feel less targeted by her daughter-in-law. In the ward, Lan Shu saw this scene, she was not surprised. She was not in a hurry to return to the capital. Since she was back this time, she planned to stay for a few more days, at least until the family affairs came to an end. The ''event'' Lan Shu mentioned was not only about her nephew being abducted, but also about the subsequent impact on the family. Tang Chu''s hurt feelings and the subsequent development of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made Lan Shu, a member of the family, have to worry about it. Although she is very busy in her career, these things happen to the people she cares about, so she will put her heart into it. As long as she has a weak relationship with the Lan family, she won''t care about these things. Then, the follow-up development of the matter was just as Lan Shu had expected at the beginning. His nephew Junjun stayed in the hospital for three days before he was discharged. After that, Tang Chu brought his son back to Qingyang County. Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang bought a house in Qingyang County a long time ago. On weekdays, because of work, Tang Chu most often lives in his home in Qingyang County. Now, because of her mother-in-law''s carelessness, she lost her son. Even if the son is lost and recovered, she will no longer be able to get along with her mother-in-law as peacefully as before. So Tang Chu didn''t plan to go back to Tianshui Village! After she settled down at home in the county seat, she immediately went to the garment factory and handed in her resignation. Lan Shu found out about Tang Chu''s resignation through other secretaries in the factory. Tang Chu is now the first secretary in the factory. Let alone her monthly salary and annual year-end bonus, Lan Shu plans to hand over the factory to Tang Chu to manage this matter. Passed the breath for the first time. Now that Tang Chu resigned, he lost not only a job, but also a great career in the future. Lan Shu wanted to persuade Tang Chu to think carefully. So she went to her elder brother''s home in the county seat and chatted with Tang Chu. ¡­ "Lan Shu, I''ve thought about this matter very clearly." Knowing the intention of her boss and sister-in-law, Tang Chu immediately expressed her determination. She has made up her mind about resigning. Lan Shu nodded, she could understand Tang Chu''s thoughts, and she could also see Tang Chu''s persistence. only¡­ "Have you ever thought about taking care of the children at home full-time after resigning? This matter may be more difficult than working." Lan Shu reminded. Some people can be organized at work, but if they take care of children, they may be in a hurry and unable to do the job. Chang Chunfang knows how to take care of children because she has already taken care of several children and is already used to it. But Tang Chu didn''t have much experience in raising children. Hearing this, Tang Chu shook his head, "I can accept my own child no matter what. Although I know that raising a child is not an easy task, I am already prepared." Tang Chu sighed and continued. "Besides, Junjun is almost four years old, and he is going to learn some things slowly. It is most suitable for me to take it with me at this time." Lan Shu knew that the so-called raising children in Tang Chu was different from Chang Chunfang''s raising children. Chang Chunfang just brought up the child by her side, but Tang Chu''s philosophy may be closer to her own. After all, the child is older, and it is time to pay attention to education later. Seeing that Tang Chu thought so thoroughly, Lan Shu stopped persuading him. "In this case, I agree with your resignation, but when Junjun gets older, if you want to resume work, you can tell me anytime." Lan Shu said. Tang Chu has worked in a garment factory for so many years. It can be said that he watched the garment factory start. Lan Shu still needs her ability, so she promised that she could resume work at any time. This is not only because Tang Chu is her sister-in-law, ability is the key. (end of this chapter) Chapter 430: should Chapter 430 should be When Tang Chu decided to resign, he had already thought about giving up his future career. Now hearing Lan Shu''s words, although she will not have the idea of ??returning to work in the next few years, she will have a chance to start her career again in the future. Tang Chu nodded, "Thank you, boss." At this moment, she did not say this sentence as Lanshu''s sister-in-law, but as a factory employee who is grateful to the boss. Lan Shu waved her hand and didn''t say anything else, only leaving a sentence, "If you have time, you can take Junjun to Kyoto for a short stay." Tang Chu was startled when he heard that¡ª She understood what Lan Shu meant, and knew that it was her sister-in-law who was leaving her a way out. The relationship between her and her mother-in-law is destined to be irreversible. In the future life, her mother-in-law will inevitably appear. So Lan Shu is worried that conflicts will break out between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future. At that time, maybe she will go to the capital for a while, and using distance to distance herself from each other is the best way. Tang Chu kept in mind the help of sister-in-law Lan Shu. If there is an opportunity in the future, she will definitely do her best to repay... ¡­ In Linjiang City at this time, the residence of the old couple of the Lan family in the city. The elder daughter-in-law took away the elder grandson and planned to raise her grandson herself in the future. In Chang Chunfang''s view, the daughter-in-law had a grudge against her and no longer let her take care of the grandson. Chang Chunfang knew that she couldn''t escape the loss of her eldest grandson. But she really didn''t do it on purpose~! Fortunately, the eldest grandson is now back, and there is no danger. She will apologize to the eldest daughter-in-law, ask for forgiveness, and will take better care of the eldest grandson in the future. But the eldest daughter-in-law just won''t give her this chance! For this reason, Chang Chunfang specially called the eldest son, hoping to let the son talk about peace. Lan Shengli also felt that they were a family, and no matter what happened, they must not have two hearts. Lan Dazhuang received a call from his parents, and he did come. Knowing what his parents thought, Lan Dazhuang didn''t directly explain whether his wife would forgive his mother, but just persuaded his mother to relax. "Mom, it was really hard for you to take care of your grandson before. Now that my daughter-in-law wants to take care of the child by herself, let her take care of it. After all, it is your own child, so you should take care of it by yourself. You can take a good rest at home." .¡± Lan Dazhuang, as a son, usually looks like a straight man, but at critical times, when there are conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he also understands that his role as a middleman is very important. Only when he appeases both parties can the family be harmonious. So the dumb-mouthed man who can''t speak usually can perform supernormally today. Chang Chunfang felt better when she heard her son say that. But thinking of the scene where the eldest daughter-in-law stopped her from seeing her grandson, Chang Chunfang worried that as a grandmother, would she lose the right to see her grandson in the future? Junjun is her first grandson, her baby bump~! Lan Dazhuang also comforted him. "Mom, don''t worry, Junjun will always be your grandson. When my daughter-in-law recovers from worry and fear, I will bring my grandson to see you." At this moment, Lan Dazhuang, the "middleman" between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, did a good job. But there is one more thing that he must say. "Mom, I know that you care about your own daughter, but you can''t just ignore everything for your own daughter. She Lan Xinya has grown up so big, she has hands and feet. Could it be that she doesn''t have the ability to live and needs your second elder to support her?" "Even if you and Dad give her money for the sake of her being your own daughter, you should pay in moderation. Whose good girl is not enough to spend a few thousand?" Lan Dazhuang couldn''t see this point. At the beginning, their family doted on the younger sister, because the younger sister was young, and they watched her grow up, so they had deep affection. Plus, the younger sister knows how to eat in moderation, and the younger sister will be very happy with whatever the three brothers buy, and she never asks them for it. But Lan Xinya is different, she never grew up at home, her parents have no other relationship with her except blood relationship. How could she have the nerve to dislike their family before, but now that she knows that the family has money, she comes back and finds various reasons to ask the family for it? Lan Dazhuang didn''t know this before, but after his son was lost this time, as a father, he wanted to understand the reason why his son was lost, and only then learned from his father that in the past few months, the relationship between Lan Xinya and their family Every time, there is income in money. Lan Dazhuang only felt that he was so **** confused! How can you be led by the nose by someone who doesn''t agree with their family and only wants to divide money from their family? Just because that person is her biological daughter? Chang Chunfang heard the eldest son complain that he was kind to Xinya, and that she gave Xinya too much money. Although Chang Chunfang knew that after her biological daughter came back, she really put more emphasis on her own daughter, but there was something wrong with it. What''s wrong? As for the matter of giving Xinya money, Chang Chunfang felt more that her son might have lost his grandson because he was distracted by Xinya''s affairs, and complained about it. Sure enough, Da Zhuang said that he would persuade his daughter-in-law to forgive him, but in fact, Da Zhuang himself may have resentment in his heart, and he would not forgive himself as a mother, right? Thinking of this, Chang Chunfang felt guilty and wronged, and cried again on the spot. When his own mother cried, Lan Dazhuang was at a loss for what to do. On the other hand, Lan Shengli sighed helplessly, and said to the eldest son, "You go back first, and stay with your wife when you go back. If there is anything, please tell me immediately." Lan Shengli said that he had something to tell him, not them, which was already showing his attitude. During the days when the eldest grandson was missing, everyone in the family experienced despair and helplessness in their hearts. In Lan Shengli''s opinion, he will never forget that feeling in his life, and it will leave a deep mark in his heart. But after the incident, although Chunfang regretted and blamed herself, she was more worried that her daughter-in-law would not let her see her grandson in the future. Lan Shengli felt that the eldest daughter-in-law complained about this matter, and shouldn''t let Chunfang see Junjun, shouldn''t she? Besides, with his father, Lan Dazhuang would not stay. He finally comforted his mother, and then went out and drove the tractor back to the county. ¡­ County town, home of Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu. Although Junjun¡¯s energy is much better these days than when he was in the hospital, after all, he has almost been kidnapped and trafficked. Junjun, who used to be cheerful, mischievous and lively, is now timid. Sometimes I don¡¯t know what I dreamed when I sleep, trembling all over, or even screaming. Seeing his son in such a state, Tang Chu felt very distressed. In the afternoon, when Lan Dazhuang came back from Linjiang City, as soon as he entered the door, he heard his wife calling her son distressedly and anxiously. "Junjun, Junjun, don''t be afraid, mom is here, wake up quickly..." (end of this chapter) Chapter 431: happy event Chapter 431 Happy Event Hearing the sound, Lan Dazhuang immediately walked into the bedroom quickly and came to his son. He picked up his son from the bed, hugged him tightly, and patted his back. "Junjun, Dad is here, don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid." Seeing this scene, Tang Chu couldn''t stop crying. She doesn''t know her child''s current state and when it will be better. Perhaps the experience of the child¡¯s loss will affect Junjun¡¯s life¡ª Tang Chu regretted that he cared too much about his work and trusted his mother-in-law too much, so he entrusted his son to her mother-in-law to take care of him while he went to work. If after her son was born, she quit her job and concentrated on taking care of him at home, Junjun would not have experienced this kind of thing, and he would not even be able to sleep peacefully now... So Tang Chu felt that no matter what her man said, she would never truly forgive her mother-in-law. Even if she can forgive, who can make her son forget that he was abducted before, so that her son can grow up healthily, so that her son will not have any psychological impact in the future? No one can heal the wound in her heart, so she can''t forgive herself and her mother-in-law Chang Chunfang who caused all this! ¡­ In October, a month has passed since Lan Dazhuang''s son Lan Juncheng was lost and found again. At Lan Dazhuang''s house, Tang Chu still didn''t forgive her mother-in-law, she guarded her son every day at home. Chang Chunfang wanted to see her grandson, so she had no choice but to take him to the city with Lan Dazhuang, and she had to return on the same day and could not stay overnight. For Tang Chu, after her son was abducted, in addition to Junjun¡¯s personality has changed a lot compared to before, she herself has also become sensitive and vigilant. If she doesn¡¯t see her son for too long, she will feel panicked . Tang Chu knew that something was wrong with her mentally, but she had no choice but to avoid her son being separated from her for too long. Lan Dazhuang knew about his wife''s situation, so every time he took his son to his grandparents'' house, he brought his son back in time. Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang met with her grandson yesterday. Seeing her grandson, she was very happy, but when his grandson left, she felt empty in her heart. This mood lasted until the next day, so Chang Chunfang couldn''t cheer up all morning. Fortunately, at noon, she heard a good news! After lunch early, Chang Chunfang was just about to help out at the fried chicken shop when she saw her second son standing at the door of the shop. Chang Chunfang thought her son was here to buy fried chicken for her colleagues, but she heard from her son that his wife was pregnant! "Nana has been pregnant for more than two months. She was just pregnant before, and the progesterone in her body was too low. We are not sure yet. Today''s examination has been able to detect the fetal heart rate. Although it is not yet possible to tell whether it is a boy or a girl, the child Very healthy." Lan Xiuming said. Chang Chunfang already has a grandson, so she doesn''t care whether the children in the second son''s family are boys or girls. "As long as you are healthy!" she said happily. Afterwards, Chang Chunfang changed her voice, and said, "Second brother, you and your daughter-in-law both have to go to work. After the baby is born, Mom will bring it to you~!" At this age, Chang Chunfang subconsciously wants to have grandchildren. The eldest daughter-in-law won''t let her take care of Junjun, but she can still help the second daughter-in-law take care of the children after that. Hearing what his mother said, Lan Xiuming paused, and there was a moment of unnaturalness on his face. Afterwards, he considered his language a little before speaking. "Mom, you don''t need to worry about raising the child. Nana is the only child in the family. Although the father-in-law works, the mother-in-law is usually free at home. Nana has already made an agreement with the mother-in-law. Mother-in-law will bring it." Ordinary people give birth to a child, and the mother-in-law¡¯s family is willing to take care of it, and the in-law¡¯s family is simply wishing for it! But the situation of the Lan family is different. The child of the elder family of the Lan family was lost by Chang Chunfang, and then the daughter-in-law of the second family became pregnant, and the child will be taken by her mother''s family in the future. It''s hard for Chang Chunfang not to think about it. Is it because the second daughter-in-law doesn''t believe her and is afraid that she will lose the child again, so she simply doesn''t let her take it? In fact, Chang Chunfang was right in thinking, but this kind of thinking was not Tian Na''s decision, but Tian''s family was worried about their daughter''s in-laws. After all, a person who can lose his own grandson must be so careless~! The descendants of their Tian family are not prosperous, and of course they have to cherish them when they have children, and there is no room for mistakes. So after learning that Tian Na was pregnant, Deputy Mayor Tian and his wife both decided that they would take care of the child! But Lan Xiuming couldn''t tell his mother the truth, otherwise his mother would definitely feel bad about it. So Lan Xiuming can only use the child to follow the Tian family, and the educational resources are better, so that Chang Chunfang should not think too much. Chang Chunfang summed it up, indeed, although their family''s conditions are good now, but their family background is from the countryside. Even if she and her old man were not originally from the countryside, but educated youths from the city to the countryside, that was decades ago, and their household registration has long been settled in the village. Such a background is of course not as good as urban households, and it is also the educational resources of the deputy mayor''s family, so they can''t catch up even if they flatter them. Seeing that the second son''s child would follow the in-laws and have a better future, Chang Chunfang gave up on the idea that she must take care of the child. "Okay then, but you have to bring your children here often, and let me and your father have a look." This is what Chang Chunfang must strive for. Otherwise, as the grandma of the child, but she doesn¡¯t see the child face to face a few times, what is that like? ! Lan Xiuming finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his mother was willing to take a step back. And promise to take the children to the grandparents'' house to play every week in the future. ¡­ At the end of October, in the Lan family, it was the day when the eldest son brought his grandson to visit them again. On this day, Chang Chunfang waited for her grandson early in the morning. For this reason, she also prepared various ingredients, planning to cook a table of delicious meals for her grandson. But when she was busy here, suddenly, the phone at home rang¡ª¡ª Picking up the phone, it was Lan Xinya calling. Lan Xinya greeted Chang Chunfang more than a month ago, saying that she lacked money to buy a house. It has been a month, and Chang Chunfang has not mentioned any money. As for the advertisement of missing persons for 10,000 yuan a month ago, although Lan Xinya saw it, she didn''t think about the grandson of the Lan family. Hearing Xinya''s voice on the phone urging her to buy a house and needing money, Chang Chunfang couldn''t help but think about how she lost her eldest grandson in order to raise money for her own daughter. Although it has been a month since that incident, every time it is brought up, Chang Chunfang feels guilty and uncomfortable. Lan Xinya didn''t know about Chang Chunfang''s inner condemnation. She didn''t respond when she heard the call, thinking that Chang Chunfang didn''t want to give the money anymore? (end of this chapter) Chapter 432: is right Chapter 432 is right Lan Xinya spent the longest time with Chang Chunfang among the Lan family in Tianshui Village, and she knew Chang Chunfang''s temperament very well. Seeing that Chang Chunfang remained silent, she retreated and said, "Mom, if the family really has no money, forget it. I can buy the house in two years. I just don''t know if the money I earn from business can keep up with the house price." up, alas~¡± The last sigh in Lan Xinya''s voice made Chang Chunfang suddenly worried about her daughter. Thinking of her daughter''s hard work for a year or two, she might be able to buy a house. If the housing prices in Kyoto rise by then, the past two years will be in vain! And a thousand dollars is actually nothing to her family. So Chang Chunfang did not wait for her son to bring her grandson at home, but told Lan Xinya that she would think of a way. Afterwards, she turned around and went out, and went to the fried chicken shop to discuss with her old man¡ª ¡­ At this time, in the suburbs of Linjiang City, Lan Dazhuang was driving a tractor with his son to the city. There was a layer of quilt in the back of the tractor, and another layer on top. His son Lan Juncheng hid in the quilt. From the county seat to the city, it takes a few hours to travel, and the child can still sleep in the quilt. Moreover, Lan Juncheng has become timid and timid now, being wrapped in a quilt can make him feel more secure. Otherwise, he would never agree to go on a long trip with his father! Ten minutes later, Lan Dazhuang parked the tractor at the door of his parents'' house in Linjiang City. Then, he took his son off the tractor. Father and son held hands, stood in front of the door, and knocked ''Boom, Boom, Boom,''. After a while, the yard was quiet, and it was obvious that no one was home. Lan Dazhuang was a little surprised. He called yesterday and told his parents that he would bring Junjun to see them today. Usually at this time, even if his father is busy in the store, his mother will stay at home and wait to see Junjun. But today is an exception. Lan Dazhuang thought to himself, where the **** can he go at this time? But since there is no one at home, he can only go to the store and ask his father to get the key back. So Lan Dazhuang carried his son back to the tractor, and drove towards the fried chicken shop diagonally opposite Linjiang City Hospital all the way with a "chug chug..." ¡­ In the fried chicken restaurant at this time, Chang Chunfang was talking to her old man about her own daughter''s lack of money to buy a house. "Shengli, from what Xinya said, she should really be short of money." "Although Xinya has been in business for several years, there are many people doing business in Kyoto and the competition is strong. Her store may not be able to make money." "What if her shop can only maintain the needs of normal life?" "Shengli, you also know that Xin Yasheng''s son is not smart. The money we and her adoptive parents gave her when she got married before may have been spent on the child''s medical treatment in the past few years." "Xinya is our biological daughter after all, as parents, we should help her..." Lan Shengli listened to his family talking about Xinya. He originally disapproved of giving Xinya money, but now his brows are furrowed! "Chunfang, have you forgotten what day it is today? Da Zhuang wants to bring Junjun to see us at home, so you just run out, and when Da Zhuang and Junjun come, won''t you be able to get in?" When Chang Chunfang heard what her old man said, she felt a little anxious. "I''m not telling you something serious? I''ll go back after I''m done." Chang Chunfang said, not forgetting to complain, "I thought that you would not ignore your own daughter, but who knew that you didn''t care about the relationship between father and daughter at all!" Listening to Chang Chunfang''s words, Lan Shengli sighed helplessly. He felt that he had previously reached a consensus with his wife. If the two discussed it, Chunfang could be shaken and change his mind just by listening to a few words from Xinya. "Chunfang, what Da Zhuang said before is right, you are really doing it for Xinya, and you don''t care about anything!" Lan Shengli suddenly discovered that it was not accidental that Chunfang lost her child, as long as Xinya was around, as long as Xinya distracted her, such a thing would happen sooner or later! So it is actually right for the eldest daughter-in-law to take the child away to take care of herself! Looking at his wife who had lived with him for more than thirty years, Lan Shengli felt disappointed. As long as Chunfang continues to be obsessed with the matter of her biological daughter, then their sons and daughters-in-law will sooner or later find it hard to stand it! In the end, it can only end up with the result of a family falling apart emotionally! Chang Chunfang has been married to her old man for more than 30 years, and this is the first time she has been preached by the old man in such a tone. She was slightly taken aback, with an incredible expression on her face. Lan Shengli did not argue with her about the issue just now, but said, "You go back first, and after I finish my work, I will close the shop and go back to talk about anything in the afternoon." Lan Shengli said without any delay, and swiftly took out the fried chicken that had drained from the fryer one by one. Chang Chunfang saw that her old man was really busy, so she shut up and prepared to go home. But when Chang Chunfang turned around, she saw her eldest son standing outside the fried chicken shop holding her grandson. Because it was not easy to park a tractor at the door of the store, Lan Dazhuang parked the tractor some distance from the door of the store, and walked to the store with his son. But when he came, what he heard was that his mother asked his father to buy a house for Lan Xinya¡ª¡ª Such a scene made Lan Dazhuang instantly think that the last time his son was lost, it was also because his mother answered Lan Xinya''s call and went to the store to discuss with his father to give him money. The loss of his son was found, although Lan Dazhuang didn''t complain much, but he could clearly feel Junjun''s mental state in the past month. He loves his son as a father, and he is also a son, so he didn''t complain or accuse his mother. Now seeing his **** behavior, Lan Dazhuang even wondered, if his wife hadn''t taken Junjun away to take care of him personally, would his mother have left Junjun alone at home today and ran to the store to talk to his father? Want money to help Lan Xinya? Thinking of this, Lan Dazhuang didn''t have the heart to take his son to eat at home. He picked up his son, turned around and walked quickly towards the place where the tractor was parked. After walking a few steps, the voices of his parents came from behind¡ª "Da Zhuang, where are you taking Junjun?" Chang Chunfang asked. "Da Zhuang, Junjun is hungry. I''ll pack two fried chickens just out of the oven and take them home." Lan Shengli knew that his son would not stay home for lunch today, so he said immediately. While speaking, Lan Shengli kept using kraft paper to pack up the hot fried chicken that had just been fished out, walked out of the store quickly, and trotted to deliver it to his son. Seeing her old man''s behavior, Chang Chunfang finally understood that her son didn''t intend to let her see his grandson, but wanted to go back to Qingyang County directly? (end of this chapter) Chapter 433: simple and naive Chapter 433 Innocent Lan Dazhuang could understand his father''s kindness. In addition, Junjun really likes fried chicken made by himself, so he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take the oiled paper bag handed over by his father. "Father, I''ll take Junjun back first, and I''ll see you next time." Lan Dazhuang looked at his father and said softly. Such a tone is completely different from the attitude when facing the fuck. Lan Shengli probably knew that his son was blaming his wife, but he didn''t persuade him, and didn''t ask his son to forgive. Because some things did not happen to me, I am not qualified to comment. Even if he and his wife are Junjun¡¯s grandparents, after Junjun lost, parents must be the first to worry about Junjun the most. Lan Dazhuang saw his father nodding his head, but didn''t say anything else, and then he took his son and walked further away. Behind him, Chang Chunfang was about to catch up, but was stopped by Lan Shengli. "What''s the use of chasing after you? The child''s heart is cold, so I can only find a way to warm it up, instead of asking him to do something as an elder." Lan Shengli sees things clearly, and he only hopes that Chunfang can also understand. It''s a pity that Chang Chunfang''s idea went too far. She only saw her son not letting her see his grandson, but she didn''t think about her obedient son for the first time. Why did she have such a reaction? "It''s said that when you have a wife, you forget your mother. It''s true! Da Zhuang is now more and more attracted to his wife." Chang Chunfang said with a sigh. At this moment, she even forgot how good the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was when her eldest daughter-in-law Tang Chu first married into the Lan family. As she said at the beginning, although Tang Chu is not her daughter, she will treat Tang Chu as a daughter. It''s a pity that there is still a lack of relationship between the daughter and the real daughter. Although Chang Chunfang didn''t feel these subtle differences, others could clearly see her actions... ¡­ Lan Dazhuang, who was supposed to have dinner with his son at his parents'' house in Linjiang City at noon, hurried back to Qingyang County with his son. Fortunately, when he was leaving, his father packed two fried chicken for him, so that he and Junjun and his son would not be hungry on the road. This day, he drove the tractor for six or seven hours without stopping. When Lan Dazhuang returned, it was already afternoon. He walked into the bedroom with his son who was sleeping soundly on the road, and saw his daughter-in-law sleeping on the bed. Tang Chu closed her eyes, as if she had a nightmare, her face was full of panic, her whole body seemed to be **** by an invisible rope, struggling silently, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, and wet the pillow cover. Lan Dazhuang actually knew that after his son was lost and found, in addition to being handsome and timid and always frightened, his wife was also frightened and became sensitive and suspicious. But he didn''t know that it was a nightmare for his wife to fall asleep when he couldn''t see it! He hurriedly put his son on the bed, woke up his wife, and ''saved'' her from the nightmare. Tang Chu opened her eyes and saw that the man had come back. She seemed to still have lingering fears about everything in the dream, and instinctively threw herself into Lan Dazhuang''s arms, her body trembling, and it took a while to calm down. "Why did you come back so early?" Tang Chu looked at the sky outside. Twice before, her man took her son to Linjiang City to meet his parents, and they arrived home only after dark. Lan Dazhuang was asked, but he didn''t explain, but just said, "I was worried that you were home alone, so I came back early." Tang Chu knew that his man had not told her the truth. But these words warmed her heart, and the cold, fear, and helplessness in her dream just disappeared. "Forget it, just come back." Tang Chu said, looking down at his son lying not far from him. Then she raised her head and said to Lan Dazhuang, "You guard Junjun, don''t let the child wake up and see no one. If you are tired, you can lie down and sleep for a while." My son was abducted when he went out crying because he woke up and couldn¡¯t see the adults. This incident left a shadow in Junjun''s heart, so Tang Chu paid special attention. Lan Dazhuang nodded and said, "Okay." Then he lay down beside his son. Tang Chu put on his shoes, went outside to check the time, and then went to the kitchen to make dinner for the evening. For Lan Dazhuang on this day, although he failed to get his children and grandparents to get along more, the days when the three of them were together were equally warm. There is one more thing that Lan Dazhuang remembered. At this stage, his son and daughter-in-law need his care, so in the next period of time, he will try to reduce the time in the village as much as possible and stay in the county to accompany their mother and son. Lan Dazhuang still remembers what my younger sister said, that a business cannot be achieved by one person doing his best. Only by handing things over can he have more energy to do more business. Before, Lan Dazhuang was not at ease, and just handed over half of the matter at hand. Many times, he still watched in person. But now he thinks about it. He wants to listen to what my little sister says, and more importantly, he needs to spend more time with his family... ¡­ The other side, Kyoto. Lan Xinya thought she could handle Chang Chunfang, but in the end, there was no news from Chang Chunfang again. Fortunately, she had already bought her house, but it was a pity that she couldn''t ask her mother for an extra thousand dollars. Lan Xinya''s purchase of a house soon reached Lan Shu''s ears. Lan Shu didn''t pay attention to Lan Xinya on purpose, but because she learned that Lan Xinya had been asking her adoptive mother for money when her nephew was lost. Lan Shu is not the biological daughter of the Lan family in Tianshui Village, so she feels that she has no right to interfere with who the adoptive parents want to give money to. She just paid attention to this matter, but she didn''t really say what she wanted to do. I just hope that Lan Xinya will not do things too much, so that one day, she will lose the affection of the only person who cares about her. ¡­ There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year, and Xiao Qingning will soon celebrate her fifth birthday. Children in other families don¡¯t have birthdays every year, but in Lan Shu¡¯s view, every birthday of their daughter is worth commemorating. In previous years, she would find a photographer to take a set of photos of Xiao Qingning as a commemoration. And this year, perhaps a little fool will be added to Xiao Qingning''s commemorative photo. Thinking of Meng Dabao''s subservient temperament towards his daughter, Lan Shu felt that Meng Dabao had really inherited the genes of the old Meng family. Fortunately, Meng Dabao didn''t have the slightest trace of Lan Xinya, otherwise she would not have accepted Meng Dabao as her daughter''s little playmate so easily. November passed, and in December, the weather cooled down. At Xiao Qingning''s request, when Lan Shu sent Xiao Qingning to her great-grandfather''s house over the weekend, she also brought Meng Dabao two sets of winter children''s clothes made by Yunshu Clothing Factory. Receiving Xiao Qingning''s gift, Meng Dabao was as happy as a little fool. He laughed haha, and said that he would give the most beautiful clothes to Xiao Qingning in the future. Looking at the innocent interaction between the two children, Lan Shu suddenly felt that... "Dabao will be five years old this year, should he go to kindergarten?" She asked the two elders of the Meng family. (end of this chapter) Chapter 434: Vice president Chapter 434 Vice President Because Meng Dabao couldn''t speak a few words, the Meng family never thought about sending him to kindergarten. But now, with the contact between Meng Dabao and Xiao Qingning, the two have played together for a long time, and Meng Dabao also knows that he can''t speak, and Xiao Qingning will dislike him for being too stupid. He was afraid that if he was stupid, Xiao Qingning would stop playing with him. So even when Meng Dabao was not with Xiao Qingning, he practiced hard to learn to speak. Practice every day, after more than half a year, he can speak a lot. At least normal communication with people is no longer a problem. So when Lan Shu asked whether Meng Dabao could go to kindergarten, the two elders of the Meng family were already considering which kindergarten to send their grandson to... In the evening, when Meng Heng returned home after working all day, he was still a little worried when he heard what his parents said. "Otherwise let Dabao wait another six months and go to kindergarten next fall?" Meng Heng is worried that his child''s IQ will make the kindergarten children prejudice against him. Wait until the child is older, more sensible, and better able to deal with things. Meng Heng''s current wife, Sun Yuan, has a different view on this. "Dabao goes to kindergarten earlier and can get in touch with more children of the same age earlier, which is beneficial to his growth." In addition, Sun Yuan also said, "Actually, Dabao can be sent to the kindergarten that Xiao Qingning attends. I have inquired about that kindergarten. The teachers there are very good, and with Xiao Qingning here, Dabao can also Someone I know." Meng Heng knew the kindergarten that Gu Jue''s daughter went to. Not to mention that the tuition fee for entering kindergarten is much higher than other kindergartens, and the level of education inside is more than one level higher than other kindergartens! Meng Heng is not worried about tuition fees, he is only afraid that his son will not be able to keep up with his studies. If Dabao doesn¡¯t know anything after he¡¯s gone, the child will definitely feel bad. So Meng Heng considered for several days whether to let his son go to kindergarten, and which kindergarten to go to. Finally he decided to let his son choose. When Meng Dabao heard that he could go to a kindergarten with Xiao Qingning, of course he was willing to go! It doesn''t matter to Meng Dabao whether he can keep up with his studies, or whether others might dislike him and not play with him. As long as Xiao Qingning doesn''t dislike him, that''s fine! Hearing his son''s decision, Meng Heng no longer hesitated. Within a few days, he contacted the kindergarten where Gu Jue''s daughter attended and registered in advance. After the beginning of next year, you can enter kindergarten directly. But because his son''s IQ is not comparable to that of children of the same age, Meng Dabao, who is five years old, can only go to the kindergarten class. And Xiao Qingning is already in the second semester of middle class. ¡­ One month later, the time is coming to the end of the year. This year is 1987, the seventh year that Lan Shu came to this world. In seven years, she has entered the age of twenty-five from the first eighteen years old. She also became a famous businesswoman from the fat girl who did nothing at the beginning. Last year, she won several business awards. Before the end of this year, there are several business dinners that require her attendance. First of all, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. The year-end meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, she has become a necessary member to attend regularly. A few days before the meeting, Lan Shu received a call from Chairman Li. Chairman Li intends to make her one of the vice presidents of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, so he came to ask for her opinion and asked her if she agreed. Now the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce has two vice-chairmen besides Chairman Li. One of the two is the current head of a century-old business family with a profound background. The other is a tycoon in the antique industry, with abundant funds far exceeding that of many members of the chamber of commerce, he is firmly seated as the vice president. These two are hardly active in the Chamber of Commerce on weekdays, as if they are just names. As for the Chamber of Commerce, President Li has always been in charge of the overall situation. Now if Lan Shu also takes over the position of vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, she thinks that President Li should not just let her be named. She had a hunch about it. So Lan Shu considered for a long time whether to serve as the vice president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. She knew that if she sat down in that seemingly glamorous position, she would have to pay a corresponding price. For example, as the vice president of the chamber of commerce, you should focus on the development of the chamber of commerce. We need to allocate some energy to the chamber of commerce. At this stage, Lan Shu feels that she prefers to be free and casual, so she asked President Li on the phone, "Can it be just a name?" Chairman Li actually intends to train Lan Shu to take over his position and become the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. It''s a pity that he found that Lan Shu didn''t seem to have this ambition. He sighed helplessly, and replied, "It''s okay to be named." He felt that maybe he should give Lan Shu some more time to think about it slowly, maybe she would be interested in the position of president in the future? But now, he is not reluctant. Hearing Chairman Li''s answer, Lan Shu said, "Yes." said, "That''s fine." So, at the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce this year, the chamber of commerce appointed a third vice president. Lan Shu sat at the main conference table in the conference room, the second position on the left next to the chairman''s seat, proving her identity as the fourth person in the entire Kyoto Chamber of Commerce! Because of her shifting position, at this year''s year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Xiaobai was not able to sit next to her daughter-in-law. However, his seat is already very forward, sitting diagonally across from Lan Shu, as long as he looks up, he can see his wife. ¡­ ¡­ In the evening, at the year-end dinner of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, many members of the chamber of commerce came to Lan Shu to congratulate her on becoming the vice president of the chamber of commerce. Lan Weicheng looked at his daughter from a distance surrounded by stars, he was proud of it! This night, everyone was having a lively time with the big party of this year. It was very late, and they dispersed one after another... ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu received a message from Haicheng, her cosmetics sales manager Xu Qi¡ª "Boss! That Xu Yunjie is so crazy lately! The wife at home left him alone, besides the third child who gave birth to him, she actually found two more fourth and fifth!" Xu Qi has not reported Xu Yunjie''s situation to the boss for a while. Because there was nothing to report before, it was nothing more than a back-and-forth ''fight'' between the main house and the mistress. But since last month, Xu Qi''s friend told her that Xu Yunjie has been fully developed recently! Not only became the deputy manager of a real estate company, but also hired two women outside. The two women knew about each other''s existence, and also knew that Xu Yunjie had a daughter-in-law and a mistress. They are with Xu Yunjie only for money! (end of this chapter) Chapter 435: charitable Chapter 435 Charity Seeing this, the mistress was no longer busy fighting the main house, but started to cling to her pet. Later she found that she couldn''t stand it, because men always like the new and dislike the old. That is, she gave birth to a child for Xu Yunjie, so that she can stay by Xu Yunjie''s side forever. So Xiao San immediately changed her mind, and she joined hands with Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to treat Xu Yunjie with tenderness, consideration, and gentleness. The three of them will join forces to make Xu Yunjie dump his real wife first. As for who can take the position of Mrs. Xu in the future, it depends on one''s ability! Hearing these news on the phone, three words floated out of Lan Shu''s heart on the spot, ''Good guy! '' She didn''t expect Xu Yunjie to play so flamboyantly! It is simply unreasonable for that scumbag to be able to get to the point where he is now, and enjoy the blessings of equal people! So at this time, it''s time for her to free up her hands, develop her career in Haicheng, and clean up the scumbags by the way! Thinking of this, Lan Shu immediately made a plan. Even on the same day, the main personnel of the real estate company under her group were called together and a meeting was held. The theme of the meeting is to develop the real estate company to Haicheng after the beginning of next year¡ª ¡­ Haicheng at this time is approaching the end of the new year. Gu Cheng has started again in Haicheng, and has been in the real estate business for a year and a half. For more than a year, he has been very low-key, almost hiding himself behind the scenes, letting Xu Yunjie take charge of everything. After such a long time, the outside world only knows that Xu Yunjie has a great reputation in Chengfeng Real Estate. But who is the real owner of Chengfeng Real Estate, only a few people know. The reason why Gu Cheng acts so low-key is because he has been in prison and has a criminal record, and secondly, he doesn''t want the Gu family and Wei family to know that he has come out of it. The only thing Gu Cheng didn''t expect was that he delegated power to Xu Yunjie, which made Xu Yunjie self-righteous and overly inflated. Not only did he play with women unscrupulously outside, he even asked him for shares in the company in front of him! In Gu Cheng''s eyes, Xu Yunjie is the one who works for him. A tool that is still useful to him, what is the right to get shares in his company? If Xu Yunjie doesn''t know how to restrain himself anymore, then maybe his next step is to find another person as a handy tool to show up in his place¡ª Xu Yunjie was not aware of these thoughts of Gu Cheng. At this time, he was still stuck in the gentle village woven for him by the three women around him, thinking about whether to divorce Li Xiumei? In these years, he used marriage to tie Li Xiumei to his side, threatening Li Xiumei to be obedient to him, otherwise he would beat and scold him! Although Li Xiumei served him tirelessly, as his career got better and better and he made more and more money, gradually he didn''t need Li Xiumei to do anything for him anymore. On the contrary, he has to pay Li Xiumei''s living expenses every month to support Li Xiumei. Thinking about it, Xu Yunjie suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage! A woman like Li Xiumei can''t have children, has slept with other men, and is not as good-looking as the other women around him. Why should he keep her by his side? After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yunjie finally took Li Xiumei to the Civil Affairs Bureau by force before the Chinese New Year, and the two divorced! Li Xiumei was unwilling to divorce Xu Yunjie at first, but when she received the 10,000 yuan from Xu Yunjie, she agreed. With this money, she can leave Xu Yunjie completely, which is actually a good thing for her. After Xu Yunjie divorced, the three women around him received the news and immediately changed from a cooperative state to ''tearing'' each other. Who can obtain the certificate with Xu Yunjie has become the object of competition among the three. But none of them knew that when the deputy manager of the real estate company they were fighting for was to be dismissed, it was only a matter of a word from the manager¡ª ¡­ It''s snowing again in Kyoto. This snow appeared in January, when it was cold. It was snowing heavily, the night before the snowflakes were flying, and the next morning, the snow on the road was already a foot thick. But the snow continued to fall. Lan Shu stood under the eaves in front of her house, watching her servants shovel away the thick snow in the yard and pile it under the tree beside her. Behind him, Xiao Bai came out of the house with his daughter in his arms. Xiao Qingning, who was about to be five years old, was very excited when he saw the heavy snow. But she didn''t realize that her parents had serious expressions. "This snow is too heavy." Lan Shu said. She remembered the drought of the previous two years. Disasters caused by the weather are often unpredictable. If there is no rain, the farmer will die of drought, and if it rains too much, there will be flood disasters. In addition to drought and flood, severe cold and hot weather are also very troublesome. High fever will kill people, and when it is cold, some people who live in poor conditions and have air leakage in the house will be frozen to death in their sleep! Thinking of this, Lan Shu immediately called the charity organization. Although the snow is not yet big enough to cause a disaster, it needs to be prevented in advance. The charity organization did not dare to be careless when they received the news from Ms. Lanshu. They had already started preparing heating supplies and sent people everywhere to publicize the cold and frost protection. When encountering families with difficult conditions and insufficient quilts, they will distribute quilts for free, and try their best to help them repair their leaky houses. They really do charity with their hearts and selfless dedication. But even so, after more than ten days, there were still many villages, towns, and even urban households in need, and news came that some people were frozen to death. It was originally a festive day for the Chinese New Year, but in some places, there are many bad news. Such a scene was seen by Lan Shu, and she felt that she should do something to help some people survive this cold winter as much as possible. So after discussing with Xiaobai, she directly allocated millions of dollars from the group to buy several coal mines in Western Province. And additional manpower is assigned to mine, and a steady stream of coal is transported to various places every day, and it is distributed free of charge to people in difficult conditions according to demand and quantity. As a result, news of people freezing to death in various places will still happen, but compared to before, the number has decreased. Fortunately, this cold winter finally passed after the year. The charity organization established by Lanshu at the beginning, and the free disaster relief activities of Langu Group, were publicized and reported by the mainstream media, and became known to the people of the whole country¡ª Although Lan Shu¡¯s charitable deeds cost a lot of money, what she didn¡¯t expect was that the status of Lan Gu Group in the hearts of the people is no longer just a company, an enterprise, and a group of profitable businessmen. It is a conscientious enterprise that really does practical things. Next, the products produced in the garment factories and toilet paper factories under the Langu Group were wildly consumed by the people and snapped up wildly. Even various communication equipment and real estate, if anyone needs it, they will give priority to the brands under the Langu Group. Even the few coal mines that Lan Shu spent millions of dollars to buy, and the coal mined later became a bestseller. Although the weather is gradually getting warmer and it is not so cold anymore, many people have said that they have to stock up and they can always use it next year. So it only took a month, and the money Lan Shu spent was earned back again! (end of this chapter) Chapter 436: On business trip Chapter 436 Business trip At this moment, Lan Shu suddenly thought of a sentence¡ª¡ª ''What is taken from the people and used by the people'' refers to the current situation. In the past, all Lan Shu thought about was how to make money. But now, she suddenly finds that besides making money, she can do other meaningful things... ¡­ Lan Shu''s good deeds, which became famous all over the country, also spread to Haicheng, and reached the ears of Gu Cheng and Xu Yunjie. When he saw the propaganda report in the newspaper, Gu Cheng suddenly looked at Lan Shu with admiration. It''s a pity, this woman is not his. Gu Cheng felt that Lan Shu didn¡¯t even realize that the two of them are the most suitable together... Unfortunately, things backfired. On the other side, when Xu Yunjie saw the news, he looked at the photo in the newspaper that showed Lan Shu''s slender figure even though she was wearing a long coat. After so many years, Lan Shu still looks so young, beautiful and full of temperament. Looking at him, he thought of the three women beside him, Xu Yunjie suddenly felt that those women were superficial and tasteless, how could they be worthy of him? So Xu Yunjie has new goals and plans. Now that he is divorced, if he gets married again, he must find an excellent woman who can match his current status! Instead of those "vases" who only know how to be jealous and try their best to get into his house. At this moment, the three women beside Xu Yunjie didn''t know that they had no chance. But at the same time, this matter may not be a bad thing for them. ¡­ Not long after the year, Xiao Qingning''s birthday was ushered in. On her birthday, Xiao Qingning wore a red and white winter dress with white fur **** hanging on it. This suit is beautiful, and Xiao Qingning is also cute. After she is dressed up, she is as eye-catching as a lucky fairy. The same day is also Meng Dabao''s birthday. Because Xiao Qingning and Meng Dabao made friends last year, and the two had a very good relationship, so after Xiao Qingning learned that she and Dabao had the same birthday, she invited Dabao to celebrate her birthday with her at her home in advance. The two elders of the Meng family and Meng Heng were a little embarrassed when they heard what Xiao Qingning said. In their view, children''s words cannot be taken seriously. So Xiao Qingning''s invitation was just a child''s joke, and the adults in her family didn''t say anything, so they were absolutely embarrassed to go over. But the Meng family didn''t know, but Lan Shu never took her daughter''s words as a child''s joke. Daughter''s wishes, under reasonable circumstances, she will seriously consider and treat her daughter equally, instead of just treating her daughter as an ignorant child. Since it was Xiao Qingning''s wish, Lan Shu did not disappoint her. So on Xiao Qingning''s birthday, the entire Meng family was invited over. Two kids, two families came together for a birthday. In the mansion on Chang''an Avenue, the birthday atmosphere decorated with balloons and ribbons can be seen everywhere in the lobby on the first floor. On the dining table, in addition to flowers, there is also a 22-inch big cake. The names of two people are written on the cake. ¡ªGu Qingning, Meng Dabao, happy birthday. At noon, the family specially invited the chef from the restaurant outside, cooked a large table of dishes, and had a lively birthday for the two children. After the birthday was over, Meng Heng, as Meng Dabao''s father, had a special talk with Xiaobai for a while. After the Meng family left in the afternoon, Lan Shu curiously asked her man, "What did Meng Heng say?" "He said he wanted to thank you for not caring about his son, and also said that Xiao Qingning helped Meng Dabao in the kindergarten, and he also wanted to thank you for educating the child and giving her a heart to do what is right." Regarding these, Lan Shu didn''t feel that she had done anything. But in the hearts of the Meng family, the reason why their grandson/son looks like an ordinary child like now is because of Lan Shu''s generosity and Xiao Qingning''s kindness. Lan Shu had no idea how grateful she was to the Meng family in their hearts. ¡­ On the third day after her daughter''s birthday, Lan Shu took Liu Axing, the new vice president of the group at the end of last year, and Zuo Guan, the chief architect of the real estate department, to Haicheng for a business trip. The three of them did not take the train, but chose to take a car. In this way, after arriving in Haicheng, it is more convenient to travel with a car. The driver this time was Master Wang, another driver from the logistics department of the group. Master Wang used to be a veteran driver in the Qingyang County convoy, delivering goods for garment factories and toilet paper factories. He is more familiar with the roads in Haicheng than Master Zhang, so he will drive this time. Nowadays, there are not many expressways in China. To drive to a place, in addition to expressways, most of the time it is mainly to take national highways and provincial highways. The driver does not have navigation to use, and the way to go is all up to me, so every driver who is familiar with the road is rare. Along the way, Master Wang is worthy of being a veteran driver. He drove for eleven or twelve hours and took three breaks in the middle. After arriving in Haicheng, he was still in a good state of mind. But even so, Lan Shu still arranges for everyone to find a place to stay and rest for a night, and do anything tomorrow. Haicheng is a first-tier city, even in the 1980s, you can see the degree of development here. When she was away from home, Lan Shu would never wrong her family members. The four of them found a better hotel to stay in, and directly opened four rooms. At the beginning, the architects Zuo Guan and Master Wang saw the house price of 20 yuan a night, and they suggested that they could live in the same room, but Lan Shu told them to live separately so that they could have a better rest, so they took it with them. . She doesn''t care about spending money where she lives. Because she knows that these people around her will create greater value for her in the future! ¡­ Early the next morning, several people had a good rest, had breakfast in the supporting restaurant downstairs of the hotel, and then went out together. The main purpose of Lan Shu''s visit to Haicheng this time is to find a suitable place to work and open a real estate branch in Haicheng. Then there is site selection, land purchase and development. That''s why she brought the vice president of the group and the architect together. But before looking for an office, Lan Shu also planned to go to the mall to meet Xu Qi, her cosmetics sales manager in Haicheng. Lan Shu hasn''t been to Haicheng on business for several months, so she and Xu Qi haven''t seen each other for a long time, and they usually communicate by phone. Now that she''s here, let''s go and see. By the way, she also wanted to ask Xu Qi about the development of Haicheng. Xu Qi has been in Haicheng all year round, so she should have a better understanding of which places are suitable for offices and companies, and which places are worth developing. Sometimes listening to more opinions can also make more references. (end of this chapter) Chapter 437: disgusting Chapter 437 Disgusting In the most famous Dongheng shopping mall in Haicheng, the brand counter of Lan''s Zhihu occupies the best position on the second floor of the shopping mall. With the increasing variety of Lan''s pure plant skin care products and make-up products, the scale of the counter here has also expanded a lot. As a brand image store, many young and beautiful girls, rich wives, and fashion girls come to the store to buy cosmetics and skin care products every day. Xu Qi is the sales manager of the company''s beauty products in major shopping malls in Haicheng. Although she will also go to other stores to inspect and work, most of the time she will stay in the main store and greet those regular customers. Just after going to work this morning, Xu Qi received two guests who came to buy new lipsticks together. This new lipstick color has only appeared in the monthly pre-sale brochures before, but it has already been noticed by many fashion-conscious girls who pay attention to beauty products. They want to buy the new color lipstick as soon as it goes on sale. So it was time for the official sale, and the two came over early in the morning to buy. As soon as Xu Qi saw off the customers, when Xu Qi looked up, she saw a man of medium build and ordinary appearance standing in front of her counter, looking at her with a smile. The customers who usually come to their beauty counter are almost all women, or men and women together. It is rare for a single man to come. Xu Qi was still thinking, could it be that the other party came here to buy cosmetics for his girlfriend? Although the man looks quite old, at least twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it is rarer for a man to be nice to his wife when he is married, which is rarer than natural pearls in the sea. So if you want to buy it for your wife, the chances are too small, so most of them are bought for your girlfriend. But when Xu Qi asked the other party, "Sir, do you need to buy cosmetics or skin care products?" The answer I got was, "You are the manager of this store, Xu Qi?" Hearing the man call out her name accurately, Xu Qi was startled¡ª "I''m Xu Qi, what''s the matter?" Xu Qi said, wondering if she had seen a man before. But she found that she did not know each other. Afterwards, Xu Qi heard the man opposite say, "I heard that you have been paying attention to me, so I came to meet you this time," "I, follow you?" Xu Qi was a little confused by the man''s words. She doesn''t even know this person, how could the other party say that she cares about him? Suddenly, Xu Qi thought of someone¡ª "Are you Xu Yunjie?" she asked. Xu Yunjie smiled, "You''ve been following me for so long, how can you still not know who I am?" Xu Yunjie felt that Xu Qi was deliberately pretending not to know him. Actually, Xu Yunjie only recently heard of a sales manager of a cosmetics store, and had inquired about him earlier. Before doing it, Xu Yunjie wouldn''t care about such things. But now he has set himself a goal to find a woman who can match his status and status to marry. The sales manager of the cosmetics store has some status, so he came to see what the woman who paid attention to him looked like. Now that I see her, the woman is good-looking and not very old, anyway, he likes it very much. Hearing the man''s answer, Xu Qi immediately identified the man as Xu Yunjie! For a long time, Xu Qi helped her boss inquire about Xu Yunjie''s news, but she only learned about Xu Yunjie''s situation, and never met Xu Yunjie himself. Looking at it now, this man is of medium height and looks average, and he may even be a little fat because of his better living conditions. In short, except for the scumbag with a little money, Xu Qi can be surrounded by three or four women, which makes Xu Qi feel a little incredible! After confirming the identity of the other party, Xu Qi asked Xu Yunjie, "Mr. Xu came to see me, what''s the matter?" Hearing this question, the smile on Xu Yunjie''s face grew stronger. "You follow me and inquire about my news because you like me, right? Now that I''m here, I think you''re pretty good, so I plan to give you a chance to get to know me." Xu Qi:? ? ? Looking at Xu Yunjie''s ordinary and confident appearance, what should I do if she suddenly feels sick when she speaks greasy words? Xu Qi immediately refused, "I don''t need a chance to know you!" "What? Are you shy?" Xu Yunjie thought he was handsome and smiled at Xu Qi again. "You should know that I am divorced. In fact, we are not young. If we can see each other, I can get a certificate with you at any time." As he spoke, Xu Yunjie thought about it again. "Speaking of it, it can be regarded as predestined relationship. Both of us are sexually compatible. When we have children, we can still have the same last name as us." Hearing Xu Yunjie''s words, Xu Qi really couldn''t bear it! Before, she just felt sick in her heart, but now she was physically nauseated by these words! So Xu Qi directly covered her mouth and couldn''t help vomiting. After vomiting twice, she looked up at Xu Yunjie, "You misunderstood, I am really not interested in you!" When Lan Shu came to the mall, she saw such a scene. I haven''t seen him for a few years, Xu Yunjie is no longer what he used to be called a handsome boy, but now he is a greasy, ordinary middle-aged man. Hearing what Xu Yunjie said to Xu Qi as harassment, Lan Shu frowned. She strode to the counter and said coldly to Xu Yunjie, "This is a place that sells cosmetics. If you are not here to buy cosmetics, please leave." In the counter, Xu Qi heard the voice, turned her face, and saw her boss appearing. At this moment, she even felt that she saw a savior! Because Xu Yunjie was so disgusting to her, she was not even in the mood to talk to Xu Yunjie. Xu Yunjie also turned his head to look in Lan Shu''s direction. His appearance has changed in recent years, but Lan Shu has not. Speaking of changes, it has become more and more refined and beautiful, with the temperament of a successful person exuding from top to bottom. Xu Yunjie didn''t expect to see Lan Shu in Haicheng. Thinking of Lan Shu''s words just now, he immediately turned back, "Whether I walk here or not, it''s none of your business?" When Xu Yunjie spoke, there was even malice in his heart. "We are already divorced, why are you still taking care of my affairs?!" When he said this sentence, Xu Yunjie deliberately amplified his voice a little. Although he can''t get Lan Shu now, he wants to let other people around him know that this beautiful and outstanding woman in front of him once followed him~! He also intended for Xu Qi to hear these words. He wants to let Xu Qi understand that he has even married such an excellent woman as Lan Shu, which shows his ability. So Xu Qi has been following him for so long, why is there any hesitation? If he is willing to marry Xu Qi, he is already giving Xu Qi a chance. How can Xu Qi not cherish this opportunity? "I don''t want to take care of your business, it''s just Xu Yunjie, who asked you to harass my company employees here?" Lan Shu saw through Xu Yunjie''s plan at a glance, so when she spoke, she didn''t show mercy at all. (end of this chapter) Chapter 438: tool man Chapter 438 Tool Man "Employees of your company?" Xu Yunjie was taken aback when he heard this. He didn''t expect that Xu Qi, who followed him, had something to do with Lan Shu! Then Xu Qi paid attention to herself, maybe it was because of Lan Shu? So is it Lan Shu who is paying attention to her, or Xu Qi? Xu Yunjie felt that there seemed to be many things hidden in it! He looked at Lan Shu, "What are you doing in Haicheng!?" When he asked this sentence, there was even a trace of expectation in his heart. Could it be that Lan Shu came here for him? It''s a pity that Xu Yunjie only guessed a small part of it right, and it was completely different from what he thought! Lan Shu came to Haicheng mainly to develop the real estate company''s business, and secondly to let Xu Yunjie, a scumbag, no longer have the good life he used to have. It wasn''t what Xu Yunjie thought, Lan Shu thought about him. "You will know the purpose of my coming to Haicheng soon." Lan Shu replied lightly. When the real estate branch of her group opens, she and Xu Yunjie will also go together, and Xu Yunjie will naturally know by then. Seeing that Lan Shu didn''t answer clearly, Xu Yunjie''s curiosity was aroused. What exactly does Lan Shu want to do? He wanted to know, but obviously she wasn''t going to let herself know just yet. But Xu Qi at the side... "You follow me, it''s really not because you like me?" Xu Yunjie asked. Hearing this, Xu Qi only felt that she had just calmed down a little bit, and felt nausea again¡ª "I really don''t like it!" She said almost holding back her nausea. Unless I was blind, I would like such a scumbag with an ordinary appearance and no moral bottom line inside! Xu Yunjie felt a little regretful when he saw this. However, he felt that with his wealth and ability, it would not be difficult to find a woman with similar conditions as him. Without Xu Qi, he could still meet other women. So Xu Yunjie didn''t stay here any longer, and finally took a fixed look at Lan Shu, showing a momentary unwilling expression, then turned and left. After Xu Yunjie left, Xu Qi was finally relieved. "Boss, this man is too narcissistic!" Xu Qi kept complaining, but still felt that she couldn''t calm down. Because of this incident, Lan Shu also felt that Xu Qi was doing something for her, but she was disgusted. She has to make some compensation to Xu Qi no matter what. Thinking of this, Lan Shu suddenly had an idea. She looked at Xu Qi and said, "You get off work early this afternoon, go to the clothing store upstairs to choose two sets of clothes, and I will reimburse you when you come back." Women love beauty by nature, and there will always be a shortage of clothes in the closet. For Xu Qi, receiving such a reward is also a kind of comfort. On the third floor of the shopping mall, there is a directly-operated store of Yunshu clothing brand, which is convenient for choosing clothes. Xu Qi heard about it, and sure enough, she immediately swept away her previous bad mood, with a smile on her face. "thank you boss!" Lan Shu shook her head lightly, telling Xu Qi not to be polite. Afterwards, she asked Xu Qi about the range of the commercial concentration area in Haicheng. And do you think there are any suitable places for real estate development? Let Xu Qi recommend a few places. At that time, she will call the architect to go to the site for inspection. ¡­ While Lan Shu was inquiring about the situation with Xu Qi, Xu Yunjie, who left the shopping mall and returned to the real estate company, met his boss Gu Cheng in the company. Seeing the boss, Xu Yunjie couldn''t help but brought up the issue of remuneration. He clearly remembered that Gu Cheng said at the beginning that as long as he has the ability, he can get matching money. Over the past year, Xu Yunjie felt that he had demonstrated his abilities, but his salary had not risen to a level that satisfied him. When Gu Cheng saw Xu Yunjie came to the company, he rushed to take the shares from himself. He was already a little impatient with Xu Yunjie''s greed. But until a suitable replacement ''tool man'' is found, Xu Yunjie is still useful to him. So Gu Cheng didn''t kick Xu Yunjie away in a hurry, but lured him with money, and comforted him first. "There will be a public construction project next month. I will find a relationship to let you approach the person in charge of the project office. If you can win the project, I will consider your proposal." Gu Cheng said. The total construction scale of that public project is not small, and the advance payment must exceed one million! If this project can be accepted, it will definitely be the biggest deal they can win since Chengfeng Real Estate Company started! Xu Yunjie thinks that Chengfeng Real Estate has established a reputation in Haicheng''s construction industry over the past year, and it should not be difficult to take over the project the boss said. At worst, he invites people to eat a few more times, drinks with him, and finds a few beautiful girls. What list will he not be able to get? Thinking of this, Xu Yunjie agreed immediately! "Okay, then boss, just look at my skills~!" Xu Yunjie said. When Xu Yunjie and Gu Cheng made a verbal agreement, Lan Shu was already busy looking for a suitable place to start a company. Liu Axing and the architect Zuoguan were driven by the driver, Master Wang, and walked around the streets of Haicheng together. Zuo Guan wants to understand the architectural style of the entire Haicheng, and Liu Axing also needs to see where there are suitable development sites, and write them down in a notebook. The three of them were divided into two parties. It took only a few days for Lan Shu to buy a small four-story commercial building for her company, which could be opened after renovation. As for the selection of land for development, she took Liu Axing to the Housing and Urban-rural Development Bureau of Haicheng to learn about the land purchase ownership of the land they were interested in. During this process, Lan Shu learned that the public company recently planned to call for bids to build an internal office area and a landmark building. Having heard the news, Lan Shu of course wants to fight for this project! Because the real estate company of the Lan Group in Kyoto is actually quite famous, even the leaders in Haicheng have heard of it. In addition, Lan Shu, a well-known businesswoman in the country, has a good reputation to the outside world, so Lan Shu left a good impression on the other party''s leader after meeting for the first time. Relevant leaders even enthusiastically invited her real estate company to participate in the bidding meeting at that time. Of course Lan Shu responded with a smile. Now she just waits for the real estate branch in Haicheng to open, and then let the branch occupy a place in Haicheng''s construction circle! ¡­ Lan Shu and the others stayed in Haicheng for a total of five days, and they will go back tomorrow. Only she and Liu Axing returned to the capital this time. Architect Zuoguan will stay in Haicheng for a while. The decoration design of the new company was done in full compliance with Zuoguan''s requirements, so Zuoguan stayed to oversee the work in person, making sure that the final decoration effect reached the level he was satisfied with. On the last night of her stay in Haicheng, Lan Shu planned to combine work with rest and take everyone around. So that night, she asked Master Wang to drive, and drove her and Liu Axing to the Bund to see the prosperity of Haicheng. Because Zuo Guan was still busy making decoration design drawings, he stayed in the hotel and continued to work. (end of this chapter) Chapter 439: was found! Chapter 439 has been discovered! The Bund, as night falls, is brightly lit. As one of the famous scenic spots in Haicheng, there are all kinds of dazzling ancient buildings here. It is the first time for Lan Shu to come to the Bund, whether it is in this era or in later generations, it is the first time. Liu Axing felt that it was an eye-opener! This night view appreciation gave Liu Axing a clearer understanding of the prosperity of Haicheng. "The house here is so beautiful!" Liu A Xing said, eyes full of yearning. "Mr. Lan, do you think it is possible for the real estate company of our group to build a house in Haicheng in this style?" Lan Shu heard what Liu Axing said, and then nodded, "Of course." ¡°Our chief architectural designer is the kind of person who doesn¡¯t stick to one design style.¡± While speaking, Lan Shu had already quietly planned in her heart to build several high-end residential areas in Haicheng within three years. The two were enjoying the scenery and chatting at the same time, at this time, a black car drove by¡ª Nowadays, the number of domestic cars is far more than that of previous years, and in places like Haicheng, cars are not uncommon, but Lan Shu still subconsciously glanced over there. The glass of the car window is not covered with anti-peep film. Under the cover of sufficient light around, it is easy to see the people sitting in the car. Although it was just a quick glance, Lan Shu was taken aback! Just now, she seems to have seen... Gu Cheng? At this time, the person in the car is indeed Gu Cheng. Although Gu Cheng usually keeps a low profile, it''s not like he doesn''t go out at all. Tonight, he happened to meet someone for dinner nearby, and when he was passing by in the car, he also saw Lan Shu outside the car window¡ª Although the slender figure outside the window only flashed momentarily when the car drove by, Gu Cheng was sure that he had read it correctly! Why did Lan Shu appear in Haicheng? Did she just see herself? Gu Cheng felt that he should have been discovered! It won''t be long before the Gu family and the Wei family will know about his early release from prison! So at this moment, a thought popped up in Gu Cheng''s mind¡ª¡ª Otherwise, let Lan Shu stay in Haicheng! ? With this thought in mind, after a moment of silence, he took out his cell phone and made a call. On the phone, he gave some instructions in a low voice, then hung up. In fact, Gu Cheng didn''t have a strong idea to keep Lan Shu, but if she could really stay, it would be a good thing. He has already arranged, as for the result, it depends on Lan Shu''s luck... ¡­ Evening, the Bund. After seeing Gu Cheng in a hurry, Lan Shu was stunned for a moment, but then her heart jumped! After that, she always had a bad premonition somewhere, it seemed that tonight might not be so peaceful. Thinking of Gu Cheng''s ruthless treatment of Xiaobai at the beginning, which almost made Xiaobai die and go home, Lan Shu couldn''t help frowning. Uneasy in her heart, she couldn''t help but grabbed Liu Axing''s wrist beside her, "We won''t play today, let''s go back." "Boss, it''s still early..." As Liu Axing was speaking, he suddenly met his boss with a serious expression that could even be called a dignified expression. Although she didn''t know what happened, at this moment, Liu Axing felt that she had better listen to the boss. So the two of them temporarily changed their plan for enjoying the scenery. Lan Shu called Master Wang and told her where to pick them up. Within five minutes, Master Wang had already driven the car in front of her boss. After Lan Shu and Liu Axing got into the car and left the Bund, not long after, several motorcycles drove near the Bund. Wearing jeans and a black leather jacket, the hooligans who looked like they were not good people were walking around in the nearby streets, as if they were looking for something. It''s a pity that they came a step late, and they worked in vain, but they didn''t find anything... ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning and drove back to Kyoto with Liu Axing. Haicheng is so big, even though there were people who searched and searched all night without sleep, when those people found out the news and came to the hotel, they were one step too late. At 8:30 in the morning, Lan Shu sat in the car to catch up on sleep. At this time, Master Wang had already driven the car out of Haicheng. Although Liu Axing didn''t understand her boss''s abnormal behavior from last night to this morning, she didn''t ask. Because Liu Axing can tell that the boss is not in a good state of mind at the moment, and seems quite sleepy. Ten minutes later, a phone rang in Lan Shu''s pocket¡ª She opened her eyes, took out the phone without hesitation to connect, and then heard a voice from inside. "Miss Lan, just now a few people came to the hotel to inquire which room you are staying in..." Lan Shu didn''t listen to the rest of the sentence. She took a deep breath and hung up the phone. Before leaving the hotel, out of vigilance, Lan Shu left her phone number with the front desk staff of the hotel. and letting the other party hide himself, the group stayed with Zuo Guan who was staying alone in the hotel now. At the same time, if there is any abnormal situation, I hope the staff at the front desk can call to let me know. When Lan Shu arranged these things, she specially left a tip of ten yuan to the front desk staff as a reward. So now she can receive such a call. ''Hoo¡ª'' exhaled heavily the turbid air in her lungs, and Lan Shu''s tense heart slowly eased. She was not sure whether Gu Cheng after he was released from prison would be as shady as before. But now it seems that she is on guard. Otherwise, if I don''t leave Haicheng in time, then next, I will face the hero of the novel who is even more insane than before! ¡­ After more than ten hours, the car drove back to Kyoto. It was already past ten o''clock in the evening, and the air at night was colder than during the day, and the temperature in Kyoto was much lower than that in Haicheng. When Lan Shu got off the car, even though she was wearing a woolen coat, she still felt the chill in the air. Actually, besides the air, there is also some invisible coldness in her heart pouring into it. Fortunately, as soon as Lan Shu looked up, she saw Xiao Bai standing at the door of her house waiting for her to come home. "I''m back." Xiaobai said as he walked forward and put the knitted wool shawl in his hand on his wife. He gently put his arms around Lan Shu, feeling his wife''s slightly trembling thin figure, he directly embraced Lan Shu in his arms. "Go back to the house first." After speaking, Xiaobai took his daughter-in-law home. When the two walked into the yard, Lan Shu asked casually, "Where''s Xiao Qingning?" "The child is already asleep now, she doesn''t know that you are coming back today, otherwise she will definitely stay up late and wait for you." Xiaobai replied. Lan Shu nodded, feeling that Xiaobai did the right thing. She also doesn''t want her daughter to stay up late. After the two returned to the house, went upstairs, and walked into the bedroom, Lan Shu was sitting on the double sofa on the side of the bedroom before he breathed a sigh of relief. Beside Xiaobai also sat down together, and he spoke slowly. "Dad and grandpa have already investigated what you said during the day. Gu Cheng performed well in prison and has many research results, so after his sentence was commuted, he actually got out of prison a year and a half ago. gone." (end of this chapter) Chapter 440: The one who gets robbed is bound to win Chapter 440 The one who gets robbed is bound to win "A year and a half ago?" Lan Shu was startled. "In the ten-year sentence, Gu Cheng only stayed there for three years?" Lan Shu was surprised! As expected of the hero, he was only sentenced to ten years for attempted murder! Moreover, in the past ten years of prison life, when there is basically no room for commutation of sentence for others, Gu Cheng not only commutes his sentence, but also greatly reduces it! Speaking of Gu Cheng''s sentence being reduced so much, if Xiaobai didn''t investigate, he would never have imagined it. In addition, Gu Cheng started a company in Haicheng and made friends with some shady forces. The development of these things was beyond his imagination! Xiaobai has a premonition that Gu Cheng is more dangerous than before! In the past, he was able to assassinate himself in Qingyang County, so now, his methods will only be more ruthless! He thought of the last phone call from the waiter in the hotel where Lan Shu stayed, and Xiao Bai couldn''t help feeling scared for a while¡ª If my daughter-in-law was still in the hotel and did not leave, what consequences would she face? Xiaobai frowned. The existence of Gu Cheng is a hidden danger to him and Lan Shu! He must not let such a hidden danger affect Lanshu''s safety! At this moment, Lan Shu''s thoughts are exactly the same as Xiao Bai''s. She is the one who knows the meaning of the male lead''s existence best, that is to step on others and lead to success. If you don''t want to become Gu Cheng''s stepping stone, then you have to completely suppress Gu Cheng! Just showed up to those people who were looking for me in the Haicheng Hotel early this morning. There is a high probability that Gu Cheng sent them to harm her. Lan Shu has no reason to let Gu Cheng grow his power in Haicheng! That night, Lan Shu had a good night''s rest, and when she woke up the next day, she was full of energy and put all her energy into her work. She has already learned from Xiaobai that the current Gu Cheng is still doing real estate business in Haicheng. So Lan Shu decided to let the real estate company under their group, the branch opened in Haicheng, rise more rapidly! Only in this way can he have the ability to compete with Gu Cheng in the same industry. The best way to suppress Gu Cheng is to weaken his power! Besides Lan Shu, Xiao Bai was not idle either. The communication company he owns will soon be able to find out the hidden connections around Gu Cheng. He will find out all the evil forces related to Gu Cheng one by one, and pay them off completely! Gu Cheng never had the chance to attack him and Lan Shu again! At this time, Gu Cheng, who was far away in Haicheng, did not know what Lan Shu and his younger brother were planning. Besides Xiaobai''s identity as a major shareholder of the group, he is also an expert in medical research, which cannot shake Gu Cheng''s power. So he went back to his grandfather''s house and chatted with the old man all afternoon. A week later, Xiaobai joined the law enforcement department as a medical consultant in the law enforcement department system. In the future, apart from his own research projects, Xiaobai may also go on business trips. And Haicheng will also be a place he often visits... ¡­ One month later, Langu Group''s real estate branch in Haicheng officially opened! The first thing the company did when it opened was to bid for an official project in Haicheng. The chief architect of the real estate side of the group, Zuo Guan, made the architectural planning and design, as well as the cost, Lan Shu wants to take on this project, in addition to the purpose of making profits, the other is to make their branch famous in Haicheng in one fell swoop. At that time, more project lists will come to you. So in order to ensure that the company can win this project, Lan Shu asked Zuoguan to keep the budget to a minimum on the construction cost. Even after the project was completed, the company''s profit was only half of the normal amount. As she came prepared and the architect Zuo Guan had excellent design ability, there was almost no suspense in the end. This project was successfully taken down by the real estate company of Langu Group! When Lan Shu heard the news, she went to Haicheng in person to cut the ribbon for the project launch the day after tomorrow. During this similar period of time, Xiaobai also went to Haicheng for a business trip due to work reasons. ¡­ Haicheng, Chengfeng Real Estate Company. Xu Yunjie originally thought that he would be sure of winning the public project. But he didn''t expect that a new real estate company would appear halfway through, robbing him of the project he was bound to win! The moment Xu Yunjie heard the news, he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother! You know, for this project, he has invited people to eat countless meals! Once this project is taken down by him, he can use it to talk to the boss about getting shares in the company! He almost became a shareholder of Chengfeng Real Estate, but now all this is gone! What made Xu Yunjie even more unexpected was that a few days later, the representative of the new real estate company was actually Lan Shu at the project ribbon cutting! Xu Yunjie suddenly remembered that he met Lan Shu in Haicheng a month ago, and asked Lan Shu what she was doing in Haicheng, Lan Shu replied, ''You will know soon. '' Now he finally understands that Lan Shu came to Haicheng to take revenge on him! Did she deliberately want to open a real estate company to steal his business and opportunities? ! And in the few days after Lan Shu cut the ribbon on behalf of the branch. Haicheng, some chaotic gathering places at night, some places were seized and seized, and arrested and arrested. Among the ruffians who were arrested, several of them were used by Gu Cheng. Among them, more than a year ago, Xu Yunjie''s construction site had frequent accidents, and finally the business could not continue. After the law enforcement team interrogated the news, they passed the news to the victim at the time, Foreman Xu Bao. Although Xu Yunjie knew for a long time that he had something to do with Gu Cheng when he had an accident on the construction site, but now that he heard the truth with his own ears, he would still be angry that Gu Cheng''s actions blocked his way of making money! Let him lose tens of thousands of dollars in a short period of time! In addition, Xu Yunjie has been working with Gu Cheng for more than a year now, and he only gets a little salary every month. Although this salary is much higher than that of ordinary people, it is not as profitable and enjoyable as when he was a contractor. Thinking about it this way, Gu Cheng really cheated him! No matter what you say, you won¡¯t treat yourself badly. Now it seems that you are just a money-making tool used by Gu Cheng! From this moment on, the seeds of betrayal had been planted in Xu Yunjie''s heart towards Gu Cheng. Xu Yunjie knew that if he wanted to prosper, it would be unreliable to rely on Gu Cheng, so he could only choose another way out. And if he wants to continue in this line of work without being influenced by Gu Cheng, he may have to wait until the day when Gu Cheng and the forces under him completely collapse... At this time, Xu Yunjie didn''t know that Lan Shu and Gu Cheng''s younger brother Gu Jue were going to deal with Gu Cheng. Otherwise, he would join hands with Lan Shu and Gu Jue without hesitation. Even if the husband and wife don''t need Xu Yunjie to do anything at all. (end of this chapter) Chapter 441: did not expect Chapter 441 Unexpected Two months later, the summer vacation came, and the kindergarten began to have a holiday. Lan Shu took her daughter home, and took time out of her busy schedule to arrange a one-week vacation, planning to take her daughter out for fun. Xiao Bai has been waiting for this day for a long time. He put aside all his work and stayed with his wife and daughter. The seemingly leisurely life of a family of three is actually because of the things they have to do before, and they have temporarily come to an end. In the past two months, Langu Group''s development in Kyoto has been as usual, and the investment in Shencheng has become more and more profitable. The branch of the real estate company in Haicheng, in addition to the initial public project of up to one million yuan, has successfully won two pieces of land later, and is about to develop high-end residential buildings. In contrast to Gu Cheng''s real estate company, except for a few small projects that were originally under construction, in the past two months, not one major project has been received. The ones they picked up were all small self-built houses, similar to what Xu Yunjie did when he was a contractor. Lan Shu didn''t know before that Xu Yunjie stopped working as a contractor, but followed Gu Chengqian and became the deputy manager of a real estate company under Gu Cheng''s name. She originally thought that opening a real estate branch in Haicheng would make it difficult for Xu Yunjie to do business. In the end, he didn''t expect that he killed two birds with one stone by mistake, and even stole Gu Cheng''s business. Lan Shu is very satisfied with this result. ¡­ The travel plan started. Lan Shu''s family of three first went to the beach, picked coconuts and seafood, stepped on the beach, and watched layers of waves being pushed up and over the insteps. Before Lan Shu came, she knew that Xiao Qingning would like these projects. Sure enough, the coconut water picked by himself seemed sweeter to Xiao Qingning. The little girl was wearing a small hakama and walking barefoot on the beach with a small bucket. From time to time, she could pick up beautiful shells. She had a happy smile all day long. Go a little further to the beach, the waves are below the ankles, and playing in the water is something that most children don''t want to miss. Played at the beach for three days. Before going back, Lan Shu took her daughter to a nearby seafood market and bought various dried fish and squid delicious snacks. Xiao Qingning also specially asked her parents to buy more, saying that she would bring them back to her grandparents, great-grandfather and great-grandmother, not forgetting a portion for her good friend Meng Dabao. Lanshu and Xiaobai both nodded approvingly for their daughter¡¯s kind sharing and not forgetting their family and friends while having fun. The three of them chose a lot of small dried fish of various flavors. Fortunately, they came for a self-driving tour this time, otherwise they really wouldn''t be able to bring too many things. After the trip to the beach, the three of them went to the ancient capital of the Central Plains before returning to take their daughter to appreciate the historical features thousands of years ago. Even when Lan Shu received a call from work on the last day, she had no intention of returning. The agreed one-week journey did not miss a single day. ¡­ When Lan Shu''s family of three was playing, in Haicheng, Gu Cheng, whose real estate company''s business was not doing well, had a real taste of Lan Shu''s abilities. He thought that he had accumulated enough experience in the company''s management and contacts in Haicheng for more than a year, so that he didn''t have to worry about the company''s future development. Unexpectedly, what he thought was not worth the strength behind Lan Gu Group and Lan Shu''s reputation. The founder of a charitable company and a number of business leaders have received awards from municipal, provincial, and government agencies. The publicity and praise in newspapers are also issued by official media. Such a female entrepreneur who can be said to be officially recognized, naturally there are people who want to cooperate with her. Signing a contract with the real estate company of the group under her name makes people feel more at ease and reliable. At this time, Gu Chengcai realized that he had been in prison for three years, and had missed many opportunities to drive side by side with Lan Shu in the mall and catch up with each other. Even since he was released from prison for more than a year, because he kept a low profile as much as possible and concentrated on developing his own real estate company, he didn''t pay too much attention to Lan Shu''s situation. That''s why Gu Cheng was caught off guard after Lan Shu''s real estate company branch developed in Haicheng. But soon, he sorted out his thoughts. Since he can''t get the big project for the time being, he will take the low-end and people-friendly route to accumulate popularity. Large projects are not available everywhere, but for ordinary self-built houses, the company can develop many customers. ¡­ In Haicheng, Lan Shu knows about the change of development direction of Gu Cheng''s real estate company. She is not worried about Gu Cheng''s low-end approach to the people, and will help Gu Cheng''s company develop in the future. Although self-built private houses can also make money, the money is limited after all, and it is not as fast as the large-scale development of residential areas. And in the next 20 to 30 years, as more and more high-rise buildings rise, large real estate companies will have more and more development opportunities. At that time, with the increase of projects, the road ahead of the real estate company under Langu Group will only become wider and wider. Finally, the company will become a well-known real estate developer in China sooner or later! What Lan Shu has to do now is to make a name for herself first and expand the recruitment of construction teams belonging to real estate companies. When she spreads her fame, even if Gu Cheng realizes that his company''s development direction is narrow in the future and wants to correct it in time, he will lag behind his own company too much! Lan Shu''s mind is full of thoughts on how to outperform Gu Cheng in business. While Xiaobai is behind the security system, he pays more attention to those friends around Gu Cheng who have vague backgrounds and even criminal records. ¡­ In the bustling city of Haicheng, on an August night, some people ate and drank in restaurants, as drunk as mud. Someone is bragging at a roadside stand, saying what an amazing thing he has done. Someone was jumping in the disco, smoking and whistling, occasionally able to attract a few hot beauties. Under the night, evil gradually emerges... Some time ago, after the urban law enforcement team¡¯s strict investigation of some night places was finally over, the big brothers and younger brothers who had been holding back for more than a month recently came out to carry out activities. Unexpectedly, not long after this activity started, there was another surprise inspection in the law enforcement system! Xiaobai followed the law enforcement team to the disco, looking at the various drugs found by his colleagues around him, he frowned subconsciously with a stern face. "Bring these things back, I will check them before destroying them to see if I can find clues about the source of the supply." As a medical consultant, Xiaobai took this job in the beginning to reduce the manpower around Gu Cheng. Later, as the work deepened, those drugs that endanger human health and make people addicted to disease became what he wanted to get rid of. He knows that his own ability is limited, but he will always persevere, just to help more people. Recently, in addition to working in the public security system, Xiaobai is also trying to study a drug that fights the side effects of addiction on the human body. If it succeeds, it can help some people who are determined to change their ways and give them a chance to get out of the haze and stand under the sunshine again. (end of this chapter) Chapter 442: seat Chapter 442 Office While Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were working hard for their careers and future stability, Linjiang City, the Lan family, had a great event! Lan Shu''s second brother, Lan Xiuming, is blessed with a son! Second sister-in-law Tian Na gave birth to a son after ten months of pregnancy. When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai received a call from home, the child was about to be full moon. Full moon wine is definitely a must. On such a big day, no matter how busy Lan Shu is, she will still go to her nephew''s full moon banquet. The Lan family and the Tian family discussed for a long time where to hold the child''s full moon feast. What the elders of the Lan family meant was that even though they came out of Tianshui Village and settled down in Linjiang City, Tianshui Village is the place where several children of their family were born and raised. I want to go back and tell everyone about the happy event. Otherwise, they will be considered grandchildren. If they keep quiet, someone in the village will definitely gossip. At that time, you may not know how ugly it will be! And Tian Na''s family, Deputy Mayor Tian felt that his daughter gave birth to a grandson, and he wanted to let all his relatives and friends know about this great event, and come to congratulate his family. So what Deputy Mayor Tian meant was that, anyway, the elders of the Lan family have already bought a house in Linjiang City, so it is best to hold the Full Moon Wine in Linjiang City. Originally, Deputy Mayor Tian wanted to talk about it and ask his in-laws for advice, but Chang Chunfang was not happy! Before, she was dissatisfied because her second grandson was born in the Tian family, and her second grandson would be taken care of by the Tian family. Now the Tian family plans to put the child''s full moon wine in Linjiang City Office. How many people can she and her wife know in Linjiang City? When the time comes, won¡¯t their grandson¡¯s full moon wine become Tian¡¯s full moon wine? Chang Chunfang felt that if she, the child''s grandmother, agreed to this matter, what right would she have to say about the second grandson in the future? In this regard, Lan Xiuming actually persuaded his parents to do it once in the city and then back to Tianshui Village. But Chang Chunfang was on the tip of her horn, thinking how could there be two full moon wines? It''s not like their family can''t afford the money for the banquet! Relatives of the child¡¯s grandpa and grandma¡¯s family can¡¯t condescend to come to their village when they hold wine in Tianshui Village? If it doesn¡¯t work, her daughter owns more than a dozen cars, so she can let the car go for a trip and take the relatives of the Tian family to the village, isn¡¯t it? Chang Chunfang felt that more than a dozen cars would definitely be able to attract the relatives of Xia Tian''s family. She didn''t know that Deputy Mayor Tian''s family was deeply rooted in Linjiang City. There were nearly a hundred relatives, big and small, let alone some friends and colleagues. If there is a banquet, people from the Tian family can sit at thirty or forty tables! Not to mention that it is too troublesome for so many people to take a three- or four-hour car ride to Tianshui Village, even the courtyard of Lan¡¯s house can¡¯t fit in it~! Moreover, it is unrealistic for so many relatives and friends of Tian''s family to come to Lan''s house to accompany gifts. That''s why Lan Xiuming proposed to hold a full moon wine in the village and in the city, which is actually the best way. After hearing his son''s thoughts, Lan Shengli was already shaken. He said to his wife, "Or just listen to our second child?" But Chang Chunfang insisted on refusing. As for where to hold the banquet, she is extremely tough. For this reason, Tian Na, who was not yet confinement, found it difficult to see her man, perhaps because of her mood swings after giving birth. Because of this matter, Tian Na felt uncomfortable for several nights when no one was around. Silently hiding tears. In Kyoto, Lan Shu received a call from her second brother Lan Xiuming not long after she received the call from her adoptive parents to announce the good news. "Little sister, about the full moon wine, if you can, you can persuade our mother." Lan Shu is aware of the embarrassment of the second brother. She knows that the second brother has already told the elders what he thinks, but the adoptive mother just disagrees. Lan Shu was silent for a while, and then told her second brother, "I''ll go back earlier and talk to my parents." Because she agreed to her second brother, Lan Shu went from Kyoto to Linjiang City three days before the Full Moon Wine was to be held. This time when Lan Shu came back, she brought her daughter along with Xiao Bai. Walking into the adoptive parents'' house, Lan Shu first asked Xiaobai to give the adoptive parents the gifts they brought from Kyoto. While chatting in the afternoon, she carefully analyzed the affairs of Mayor Tian''s family who may have many relatives, as well as colleagues and friends in various official circles, with her adoptive parents. "At that time, so many people will go to our village to have dinner, and it is not realistic. The main reason is that there are more relatives from the second sister-in-law''s family than our village. "It''s really troublesome to pick up and drop off the car. Even if I drive all the cars of the group, I really can''t pull so many people." "That''s why the second brother said that it''s a good idea to hold full moon wine on both sides!" Chang Chunfang is a typical temperament who prefers softness to toughness. When Lan Shu said this in front of her, she quickly changed her mind. So that night, Lan Xiuming received a call from his parents. On the phone, Chang Chunfang said, "It''s okay to hold the full moon wine on both sides, but it must be held in Tianshui Village first!" "No problem!" Lan Xiuming agreed without hesitation. So three days later, the first full moon wine was held in Tianshui Village with great excitement! Although Lan Shu didn''t transfer all the cars of the group, she still sent six of them. In addition to using the car for her and her family, she also brought more than a dozen of Tian''s parents and close relatives of Tian''s family to the village. At that time, it will not be the full moon banquet for the grandson of the Lan family, and no one from the in-laws will come. The fact that Deputy Mayor Tian can be present is a great success for the Lan Family of Tianshui Village! Even if there are not many people from the Tian family, for the Lan family, being in the village is a great honor! ¡­ On this day, Lan Dazhuang also took his wife back to the village early to attend the full moon banquet of his second brother''s children. Tang Chu has never returned to Tianshui Village since the incident of losing her son happened. She actually didn''t want to come this time, but she thought that even if she didn''t want to see her mother-in-law, she still had to give face to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. So she restrained her emotions and took her son back to the village. It has been more than half a year since Junjun was lost and found. The five-year-old Lan Juncheng is not even as lively and cheerful as he was three years old. Seeing so many people coming to grandparents¡¯ house, Junjun is by his mother¡¯s side almost all the time. Tang Chu held her son''s hand, and she could feel his son''s emotional tension. So the couple went back to the room directly and closed the door, as if this would shield the noise from outside. Outside the door, Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli were busy greeting the guests who came to the banquet. When they were almost done, Chang Chunfang had time to look around, looking for her grandson. She searched around but couldn''t find anyone. Finally, she asked her eldest son, and only then did she learn the whereabouts of her eldest grandson. So Chang Chunfang immediately walked towards her eldest''s room, opened the door and shouted, "Junjun, let grandma see you~!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 443: here we go again Chapter 443 is here again Chang Chunfang''s shout to enter the door was so sudden that Junjun trembled in fright, and jumped into his mother''s arms! Junjun was frightened, and even though he saw grandma coming, he didn''t want to leave his mother because of lack of security. Chang Chunfang saw that her eldest grandson was not close to her. She was so happy to see his grandson, but suddenly it was as if cold water had been poured on her! She knew that the eldest daughter-in-law had a problem with her, so she instigated the child to distance herself from her! Chang Chunfang was very sad. Junjun was brought up by her from a young age~! She did one thing wrong, and she was deprived of the right to take care of her grandson. She hadn''t had frequent contact with her grandson for more than half a year, and her grandson''s reaction to seeing her now was almost equivalent to erasing her previous four years of dedication! So Chang Chunfang looked at the eldest daughter-in-law Tang Chu who was indifferent to her, and her face immediately praised¡ª¡ª In the room, Tang Chu was sitting by the bed, and was telling stories to Junjun to pass the time. She didn''t expect her mother-in-law to open the door and walk in without knocking. The cowardly character of the son cannot bear a little fright, otherwise he will have nightmares again at night. Thinking that there is a high probability that his son will not sleep well tonight, Tang Chu is very angry with the mother-in-law who caused all this! "Mom, next time you come in, knock first." Tang Chu''s mother called out, really patiently, enduring the discomfort in his heart. But Chang Chunfang didn''t think it was a big deal. Tang Chu was her daughter-in-law, so calling her mother was a matter of course. On the contrary, it was the tone of the eldest daughter-in-law talking to herself that made her unable to listen anymore! "Do I still need to knock on the door when I enter my house?" Chang Chunfang felt uncomfortable, so she spoke in an annoyed manner. But she felt that what she said was right. The whole house of the Lan family in Tianshui Village was built by her and her wife with little money and effort from the time they had it. So this is her home, yes! But from Tang Chu¡¯s point of view, this room is also her man¡¯s room~! She doesn''t care about the future ownership of this room, but when she returns to her husband''s house, she hopes that there will be a short time here for her to control the use of the room. She doesn''t ask much, at least knock on the door when someone enters. This is the most basic politeness issue. Originally, Chang Chunfang was anxious to see her grandson, so she didn''t knock on the door. This was a trivial matter. No matter how small it is, because the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious, the two have their own ideas in their hearts, so they magnify the matter in their hearts. In the end, Tang Chu held his son in his arms and remained silent, Chang Chunfang was full of anger. If it weren''t for the second grandson''s full moon wine today, and so many guests outside, Chang Chunfang really wanted to quarrel with the eldest daughter-in-law on the spot, and the two of them carefully discussed who was sorry for the other! Fortunately, at this time, Lan Shu appeared outside the house with her daughter. Because Chang Chunfang pushed the door in and didn''t close it just now, Lan Shu from the opposite room saw what was going on in the house. There are many people today, and the family is busy, so Lan Shu is responsible for looking after her daughter. Originally, there were a few old sisters-in-laws from the village who came to chat with her in her room, but after seeing her adoptive mother break into her elder brother''s room, Lan Shu immediately told the old sisters-in-law that something was wrong, and took her daughter''s hand to the Tang Dynasty. Go there at the beginning. Standing in front of the door, Lan Shu knocked lightly on the door frame and called out, "Tang Chu, I''ll take Xiao Qingning to play with Junjun." After speaking, she brought her daughter into the house. With Lan Shu around, Chang Chunfang and Tang Chu''s relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which was about to enter a fever, had an instant chance to ease. Tang Chu glanced at Lan Shu, knowing that Lan Shu came to help her out. When Chang Chunfang saw her daughter, she immediately felt that she had someone to confide in. "Shu Shu, you come to judge, I am Jun Jun''s grandma no matter what, but now Jun Jun has only been with your sister-in-law for a long time, and he has become my estrangement!" "My name is Junjun, he ignores me, I want to hug my grandson, but Junjun hides and refuses to let me approach..." After hearing these words, Lan Shu fully understood the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law today. She said to her daughter, "Go and play with my brother." After a few more words, he planned to coax Chang Chunfang to leave the room first and talk elsewhere. Fortunately, Lan Shu was able to speak well in front of Chang Chunfang. Soon, Chang Chunfang calmed down and was about to go out to the second daughter-in-law''s room to see her little grandson. Before leaving, Lan Shu still gave Tang Chu a wink and asked Tang Chu to help her take care of her daughter. Tang Chu understood what Lan Shu meant. Seeing that his Junjun saw Xiao Qingning, who was about the same age, eager to play with the children, Tang Chu said to Lan Shu, "Let Xiao Qingning play here Don''t worry, I''ll take good care of her." But Tang Chu didn''t expect that Chang Chunfang, who had just walked to the door with one foot out of the door, heard her words unintentionally, and Chang Chunfang couldn''t help but think about it again! A word of "watch carefully", she will inevitably think of the thing that she did not watch over her grandson last year, which caused Junjun to be abducted. Chang Chunfang felt that the eldest daughter-in-law said this to herself on purpose! She turned around, glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, then at her eldest grandson, and then complained to Lan Shu beside her, "Look, until now, she is still blaming me, just like her instigating I am afraid that my own grandson will not recognize me in the future!" After finishing speaking, Chang Chunfang turned around and walked out of the room without looking at Tang Chu''s changing face¡ª Lan Shu couldn''t help frowning when she saw the scene in front of her. It seems that the mother-in-law relationship between her adoptive mother and Tang Chu is worse than she expected! After today''s incident, if the two have the chance to meet again, conflicts will inevitably erupt! Fortunately, the two of them didn''t quarrel today. Lan Shu originally thought that on this festive day today, the most important thing to watch out for was the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between her adoptive mother and Tang Chu. But she didn''t expect that apart from this incident, there were other things happening¡ª ¡­ At noon, the guests are seated and the prepared meals are ready to be served. Chang Chunfang was busy getting wine and soda for the guests at each table, and when she got busy, she temporarily forgot about other things. But at this time, the sound of the tractor starting "chug chug..." sounded outside the door. Chang Chunfang seemed to be paying attention all the time. When she heard the sound, she immediately put down the soda in her hand, walked across the yard, and ran out of the gate. A few minutes later, Chang Chunfang walked into the door with a smile on her face. Behind her was a woman with a round body and a thick body. "Why is she here?!" At this moment, Lan Shu had already taken a seat in the courtyard, and Xiao Bai was beside her. Seeing Lan Xinya, Xiaobai blurted out this sentence almost subconsciously. Besides him, there were also Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, Lan Dazhuang, and Tang Chu sitting at the same table. Tian Na just gave birth to confinement, and it is not easy to see the wind at the moment, so she ate in the house and did not come out. Lan Dazhuang frowned when he saw Lan Xinya! He knew that his wife definitely didn''t want to see her. Because his son disappeared back then, it can be said that he had a lot to do with Lan Xinya. So Lan Xinya, it is best not to appear in front of the couple. (end of this chapter) Chapter 444: cheeky Chapter 444 Thick-skinned Lan Shu didn''t know that Lan Xinya would come today, but looking at her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang''s reaction, it seemed that Chang Chunfang knew about it long ago. What is the adoptive mother going to do? She knew that her family didn''t want to see Lan Xinya, so she asked Lan Xinya to attract people''s suspicion? At this time, Lan Shu hadn''t said anything yet, and Lan Dazhuang first said, ''Crap! ¡¯ stand up¡ª After entering the door, Lan Xinya glanced at everyone, and seeing Lan Dazhuang standing there, she just glanced over it, and then shifted her gaze to Lan Xiuming, who was diagonally opposite Lan Dazhuang''s seat . "Second brother, congratulations, you have a precious son." Lan Xinya came here for the second son of the Lan family today. Her second brother is the son-in-law of the deputy mayor! With relatives of this level, Lan Xinya feels that all boats will rise with the tide, and her worth will double. Lan Xiuming is the host of today''s banquet after all, seeing Lan Xinya smiling on his doorstep congratulated him, even if he didn''t like Lan Xinya, he couldn''t say anything in public. So Lan Xiuming nodded to Lan Xinya, then looked at his mother, and said lightly, "Let her sit first." Lan Xiuming''s original intention was to let his mother arrange a seat for Lan Xinya, but after he finished speaking, Lan Xinya walked directly towards the table he was at¡ª Seeing Lan Xinya approaching, Lan Shu frowned, and Lan Sibo disliked her. Tang Chu''s eyes widened directly, his hands trembling with stagnation, and he planned to get up and leave if Lan Xinya sat down. Lan Dazhuang on the side can naturally see what his daughter-in-law is thinking. Lan Dazhuang frowned and looked at his second brother, "This table is full, let her sit somewhere else." Lan Xiuming originally didn''t want to sit at the same table with Lan Xinya, but he didn''t expect that before he had time to arrange a seat, Lan Xinya took the initiative to come here with the cheek. Now that the eldest brother spoke, Lan Xiuming immediately took it up, raised his hand and pointed to a place far away from their table, and said to Lan Xinya, "Sit over there." "But I want to sit closer to my brothers." As Lan Xinya spoke, she had already walked to the table of the three brothers of the Lan family. Then she looked at Tang Chu and said, "Sister-in-law, move over there, let''s squeeze together." Lan Xinya didn''t know that Tang Chu''s child had been lost because of her. In her eyes, Tang Chu was just the daughter-in-law married by her elder brother. ¡ªa person with a foreign surname from the Lan family. Tang Chu was sitting beside Lan Shu on the other side. Lan Xinya never even looked at Lan Shu from the beginning to the end. At this time, Tang Chu was hugging the child. Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, she got up directly, left her seat, took her son''s hand, and walked towards the room. Lan Xinya didn''t see anything wrong with Tang Chu''s emotions at all. In other words, she didn''t care about Tang Chu''s reaction at all. Seeing Tang Chu leave, she even grinned and said, "My sister-in-law has given way to me." After finishing speaking, she sat down in the position where Tang Chu had just been. Lan Dazhuang had never seen such a thick-skinned woman before meeting Lan Xinya. Even if this woman is his own sister, he doesn''t want to recognize her at all. Seeing his wife leaving, Lan Dazhuang hurriedly got up and chased after her. After Tang Chu left, Lan Shu, who was sitting next to Tang Chu before, saw Lan Xinya''s obese body occupying the place of one and a half people, and was about to touch her. Lan Shu didn''t want to get close to people she hated, so she got up from her seat and walked back to the room. Immediately following, it was Xiaobai walking with his daughter... Within a few breaths, because of Lan Xinya, half of the table of the Lan brothers and sisters left at once! Lan Xiuming''s face was a little ugly, but this ugly look was not due to the behavior of his elder brother and younger sister, but the appearance of Lan Xinya, which caused the current result. At the same time, it was also because of his mother Chang Chunfang. Lan Xiuming even felt that what his mother did was to make trouble for his son on his big day! His mother called Lan Xinya once when he got married, and now he has a child, and once again at the full moon banquet! Lan Xinya, on the other hand, doesn''t seem to feel that other people''s departure has anything to do with her arrival. Although Lan Dazhuang, who planted an orchard and opened a chicken farm in the mountain behind the village, left, Lan Xinya felt a little regretful that she couldn''t get in touch with her big brother. But fortunately, there is her second brother Lan Xiuming here! It¡¯s okay to establish a good relationship with the second brother first. As for Lan Shu''s departure, Lan Xinya saw that even Lan Shu, who had a great reputation outside, avoided her after she appeared. At this moment, her mood was not to mention how refreshing! The scene in front of her eyes fell on Chang Chunfang, Da Zhuang, Shu Shu, and her son-in-law left the banquet one after another, and she understood that it was because of Xinya''s appearance. Chang Chunfang actually never thought of letting Xinya sit at the same table with her son and Shushu. She knew that the relationship between Shushu and Xinya was not good. Chang Chunfang was just thinking, their Lan family had a grandson, and Xinya, as a member of the family, couldn''t be completely ignorant, right? When Xinya said that she was going to attend the full moon banquet, Chang Chunfang was still moved in her heart, thinking that Xinya treated them as a family, so she rushed back without caring about the long distance. And after Xinya came, as her own aunt, it was also good for her to meet her nephew. But now, Xinya''s overly close and enthusiastic attitude made the rest of the family feel uncomfortable. Let her second son be at the child''s full moon banquet, and it''s a bit embarrassing. All the relatives and friends around the table watched helplessly, and they knew all about the fact that the biological daughter of the Lan family was not treated well by the rest of the family. Chang Chunfang was also taken aback, then she immediately walked towards her son''s table and stopped beside Lan Xinya. She wanted to ease the relationship between her children, first of all she asked Xinya to sit at another table, and then she could persuade Da Zhuang and Shu Shu to come back. So Chang Chunfang looked at Lan Xinya and said, "Xinya, come over and have a table with your parents, so that other elders in the village can get to know each other." Chang Chunfang really wanted to officially introduce her biological daughter to the villagers, but for Lan Xinya, the reason she came to the Lan family was to make friends with her eldest brother Lan Dazhuang and her second brother Lan Xiuming. The second is to do business now, and the biological parents whose financial resources are not what they used to be. Other country old men and old ladies in the village, what is the use of her getting to know each other? So Lan Xinya rejected Chang Chunfang without hesitation! "Mom, let me sit with my brothers, we young people can have more topics." As soon as he said this, it not only offended Chang Chunfang, but also made the old people in the village at the table where Lan Shengli was sitting feel unhappy. But Lan Xinya didn''t care about these at all. (end of this chapter) Chapter 445: Cant hold back Chapter 445 Can''t hold back With Lan Xiuming here, Chang Chunfang, a mother, can already sit in the back row for Lan Xinya. Now that Lan Dazhuang was leaving, Lan Xinya put all her attention on Lan Xiuming. "Second brother, I learned that my nephew''s full moon banquet is not long, so I didn''t have time to prepare a better gift. Before I came this time, I saw a sterling silver safety lock in the mall, which was quite delicate, so I bought it here. Remember to wear it for your nephew when the time comes." Speaking, Lan Xinya took out a red cardboard box from her pocket. She opened the box, and a small silver safety lock inside appeared in front of Chang Chunfang, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo. As for the others, they couldn''t see clearly because they were sitting too far away and the safety lock was too small. The reason why this safety lock is said to be small is because it is really small, about the size of a woman''s finger belly, which is a circle smaller than a normal safety lock. For this lock, at most two or three grams of silver, judging from the current silver price of sixteen or seventeen dollars per gram of silver, this safety lock is worth forty or fifty dollars at most. Lan Xiuming looked at the box Lan Xinya handed over, because the silver lock was really worthless, and it was a gift for the child, so he hesitated for a moment, then took it. Chang Chunfang was delighted when she saw that her second son was willing to accept the gift from Xinya. So Chang Chunfang said casually, "It just so happened that Shushu sent a gold safety lock, and now I have gold and silver safety locks~!" Chang Chunfang''s words were meant to express their family''s feeling, but Lan Xinya''s ears made Lan Xinya unhappy. Her mother is too bad at talking! Lan Shu gave the gold one, and she gave the silver one. Wouldn''t she be compared in front of her second brother? ! You know, the current price of gold is more than two hundred one gram, more than ten times more expensive than silver~! A piece of gold safety lock, even if it is as small as the silver lock I bought, costs at least six or seven hundred yuan. So Lan Xinya immediately frowned and turned to Chang Chunfang. "Mom, how can such a young child wear a gold lock? I shouldn''t even give it away! A child''s life is light, wearing a gold lock can''t be held back, and the silver lock I gave is just right~!" Lan Xinya''s words were originally just to highlight the goodness of the things she gave, but at the full moon banquet of other people''s children, they said these feudal superstitions, as if the children would bring disaster if they brought a golden lock~! Saying bad things on a festive day, don''t mention how disgusting it is! Lan Xiuming''s face turned livid in anger! Even Tian Na, who was taking care of the child in the house not far away, heard Lan Xinya''s voice outside through the window, got out of bed angrily, and slammed the door open! "Our sister-in-law gave the child a golden lock, a gold collar, and a gold bracelet. Those are my precious sons. You are talking nonsense here. You can''t see how we are doing well, right?!" After Tian Na said this, the villagers who came to eat in the courtyard of the Lan family knew that the younger sister of the Lan family didn''t just give her second brother''s son a golden lock, but also a gold bracelet and a gold necklace as matching accessories? That weight is not comparable to a safety lock! A pair of bracelets weighs at least eighteen or nine grams, right? The collar is at least twenty or thirty grams of gold! If you add up the total and convert it into money... Some of the villagers have already gone to school, and they counted silently in their hearts. After a while, someone whispered, "Over ten thousand!" ¡®Hiss¡ª¡¯ Hearing this, the sound of villagers gasping for air came from the Lan family''s courtyard. They came to participate in today''s full moon wine, and the gift was only eight or ten yuan, but the little girl from the Lan family gave her second brother''s child gold in units of ten thousand! With this kind of money, who cares about the old saying that you can''t suppress it? Birth of a child directly upgrades to ten thousand households. Whoever refuses such a good thing will have his head caught by the door! In contrast, a silver security lock worth fifty or sixty yuan, and a set of gold ornaments worth tens of thousands... The two daughters of the Lan family are still not as good as their adopted daughters! The adopted daughter is capable and rich, and she is willing to be willing to her parents and brothers who are not her own. Who wouldn''t envy her? Besides, Lan Xinya was also overwhelmed by the gift from Lan Shu! A child with a full moon can receive gold worth over ten thousand¡ª Lan Xinya knows that Lan Shu is rich, but she heard that the richer the person, the more stingy they should be? Lan Xinya can''t even understand, isn''t it good to save money? Is Lan Shu an idiot for giving it to others for nothing? Seeing that Lan Xinya remained silent, Tian Na didn''t intend to let it go. "My son''s full moon banquet today, everyone was happy, but you made things difficult for us as soon as you came, didn''t you come here on purpose?!" Tian Na''s mood fluctuated greatly after giving birth, and she couldn''t hear her child being cursed! In Tian Na''s opinion, Lan Xinya''s words ''I can''t hold back. ¡¯ and the curse undoubtedly! Although Lan Xinya is her man''s biological sister, Tian Na has already seen that in the eyes of the brothers of the Lan family, Lan Shu is their sister, so Tian Na only recognizes Lan Shu as her sister-in-law! As for Lan Xinya, if possible, Tian Na hopes that her family will never have any contact with her in the future! At this time, the scene where Tian Na made Lan Xinya unable to step down in public really ruined today''s festive day. Deputy Mayor Tian on the side knew that his daughter lost her temper, and it was really hard to hold back before, not to mention that he was also very tired of the woman who spoke ill of his grandson. If the other party wasn''t the Lan family''s biological daughter, if he didn''t want to give the Lan family face, he couldn''t help but want to blow her away! When Chang Chunfang saw such a conflict between her second daughter-in-law and her biological daughter, she subconsciously helped her biological daughter explain it. "Nana, don''t get me wrong, Xinya didn''t mean that, her original intention was also for the good of the child..." "For the sake of the child? Mother-in-law, what do you mean, my sister-in-law gave my son a set of gold jewelry, is it because she has some bad intentions for the child?" At this moment, Tian Na was in a fit of anger, so she said what was on her mind if she was in a hurry. She didn''t mean that the sister-in-law was bad, but that she was angry with her mother-in-law for protecting Lan Xinya! When Chang Chunfang heard it, she didn''t mean that! She was about to explain, but Lan Shengli, who was already sitting at the table not far away, suddenly got up from her seat, "Chunfang, please stop talking!" Lan Shengli couldn''t stand it any longer. Today is a great day for his second grandson. What is the family making a fuss about in front of outsiders? This is purely a joke! Besides, what his wife said just now, to be honest, really favored Xinya too much. Perhaps Chunfang herself didn''t realize that between Xinya and their eldest daughter-in-law, even if Xinya took the position of eldest daughter-in-law, she was as if nothing had happened. Now the second daughter-in-law is angry and quarrels with Xinya, her first reaction is to protect Xinya. It''s not that Lan Shengli doesn''t like his own daughter. As a parent, how can he be cold-blooded and ruthless to his own child? He simply broke his heart before, and then he was sad again. Lan Shengli sees it very clearly. His biological daughter is a selfless person. The reason why she contacted their family and went to their house is to calculate money. (end of this chapter) Chapter 446: get better Chapter 446 Get better Lan Shengli is the head of the family, Chang Chunfang will definitely listen to his words. Although Chang Chunfang is also an intellectual, she is more or less in charge of family affairs, but that is all under the condition of Lan Shengli''s default. Now that Lan Shengli lost his temper, Chang Chunfang instinctively shut up and stopped talking. Tian Na on the side also didn''t say anything against Lan Xinya because of her father-in-law''s words. Tian Na could tell that her father-in-law''s attitude was much more fair than her mother-in-law''s. She was waiting to see her father-in-law''s reaction. In the courtyard of the Lan family, after the farce stopped, Lan Shengli first said to the villagers who came to the banquet and the few relatives of the Tian family, "Sorry, I made everyone laugh." Then he greeted everyone to continue eating and drinking, and let this matter go. With him here, the Tian family gave him face, and Lan Xiuming got up and helped his wife back to the room to rest. Lan Shengli saw that no matter what everyone thought in his heart, at least he could live with his face for a while, so he left his seat and walked towards the door of his eldest son''s house. Standing outside the door, Lan Shengli knocked on the door. After seeing the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, he put down his status as an elder and asked for their understanding about what happened just now. After that, Lan Shengli went to his daughter''s room again, trying to persuade his family and son-in-law to come out. It''s a pity that Lan Shu will never eat at the same table with Lan Xinya. Told her adoptive father that she was okay, and then Lan Shu asked Xiao Bai to take her daughter to the kitchen to eat something to fill her stomach. After today''s nephew''s full moon banquet, she left Lan''s house with Xiao Bai and her daughter in the afternoon. After Lan Shu''s family of three left, Tang Chu also took his son, got on the tractor driven by Lan Dazhuang, and returned to the county seat. Tang Chu felt that she might not need Lan''s place in the future and would not come back again. She didn''t hide her thoughts from Lan Dazhuang, and Lan Dazhuang could understand his wife''s mood, so he didn''t force it. "If you don''t want to come back, then... you won''t come back." Hearing what his man said, Tang Chu''s originally stagnant mood slowly eased back. As for Lan Xiuming, Tian Na, and the Hetian family, of course they had to return to Linjiang City after dinner. Even Lan Sibo, who came back from Kyoto to see his new nephew and celebrate his second brother, excused his busy work, came back in a hurry, and left in a hurry. On this day, Lan Xinya, who was unwelcome at the Lan family in Tianshui Village, stayed at home for the night instead. But apart from Chang Chunfang, no one gave her a good face. Lan Shengli had an attitude of not wanting to bother, and went back to the house early to rest on the pretext of drinking too much. As for other people in the village, seeing that Lan Xinya offended the adopted daughter and sisters-in-law of the Lan family, the brothers of the Lan family didn''t like Lan Xinya''s own sister. Fat and ugly. This kind of person, who wants to have social relations with her? Lan Xinya stayed at Lan''s house alone for two days. This time there is Lan Shengli, and because Chang Chunfang no longer helps the elders to take care of the children, Lan Dazhuang does not have to pay for the living expenses of raising the children every month, relying on the little living expenses that Lan Shengli takes home every month , She really doesn''t have any money left. Finally, when Lan Xinya left Lan''s house, she didn''t get any money for the first time~! Even this time, she even lost a sterling silver safe lock... ¡­ After half a month, it will be the day when school starts. Six-year-old Xiao Qingning is about to enter elementary school. From kindergarten to elementary school is a new beginning, Xiao Qingning is very happy that she seems to grow up soon. In the Meng family, Meng Dabao learned that his little friend was leaving the kindergarten, and the little fool was depressed for a whole summer vacation. But in the end Xiao Qingning left, and he would stay in the kindergarten for two to three years. Whether it is two years or three years, it depends on when the little fool''s IQ can reach the level of elementary school. It''s useless for the Meng family to be anxious about this matter. Meng Dabao''s life, since he burned his brain, is destined to be different from ordinary people. And it is his greatest luck that he can meet Xiao Qingning, who can bring him innocence and happiness in his supposedly gloomy childhood... ¡­ At the beginning of October, one month into the school, Xiao Qingning had just learned about the various subjects arranged in the school, and then came the holiday. This holiday, the little girl has no idea of ??going out to play, because the house is very lively. The day before the long vacation, Tang Chu brought his son Lan Juncheng to Kyoto. The two were sent by Lan Dazhuang. The family of three took a train for more than ten hours to arrive at Xiaomei''s place. Lan Dazhuang will not stay in Kyoto for too long, while Tang Chu will stay with Lan Shu for a while. Tang Chu''s psychological problems became more and more serious, and her condition worsened, which was closely related to her son Junjun. Junjun''s timidity, stealing dreams at night, and often waking up crying, made Tang Chu, a mother, feel distressed, but helpless. Tang Chu was so worried about Junjun that she rarely slept soundly at night. Gradually, she was even diagnosed with neurasthenia. This time, Lan Dazhuang sent his wife to Kyoto, firstly for treatment, and secondly, to let the younger sister untie his wife. His second brother said that psychotherapy is more effective than drug treatment for neurasthenia. Tang Chu didn''t want to come, even though Lan Shu once said that she was invited to live in Kyoto for a while when she was free, but Tang Chu didn''t want to cause trouble for Lan Shu. But she couldn''t resist Lan Dazhuang''s concern, even worry. Later, I thought that when my son was playing with Xiao Qingning before, he finally didn''t look so timid and cowardly, and even had a smile on his face. That''s why Tang Chu came to adjust his son''s mood. Many mothers are willing to give everything for their children. Tang Chu is such a person, so in order to make her son better, she came here with a thick skin. After learning about Tang Chu''s situation, although Lan Shu thought that Tang Chu''s condition was not good, she didn''t expect that Tang Chu''s body had already developed symptoms. As for Tang Chu being embarrassed to bother her, Lan Shu didn''t mind at all. She and Tang Chu have worked together for many years, and they have long been friends. Adding that Tang Chu is still her sister-in-law, even if relatives come to live at home for a while, it is nothing. So Lan Shu arranged a room for Tang Chu in the east wing of her house, allowing her to live in peace of mind. Every day, when Xiao Qingning comes back from school, she will play with Junjun for a while after finishing her homework. Although Junjun is six years old, his condition is not suitable for school now. When Junjun was in contact with Xiao Qingning, Lan Shu discovered that Junjun was very interested in the piano Xiao Qingning learned. So after the piano teacher came on the weekend, she asked Junjun to try it out with her. Because Junjun listens to Xiao Qingning practicing the piano every day, he is no stranger to playing the piano. Only taking the class for the first time, he showed good learning concentration and understanding. Seeing this, Lan Shu asks Junjun what he thinks, and asks Junjun to learn how to play the piano. When Tang Chu saw her son''s strong interest in playing the piano, and saw his son''s character gradually becoming less timid, her condition gradually improved... It¡¯s almost the end of the month, please ask for a monthly ticket~~ If you have a ticket, please remember to vote~~~(`) (end of this chapter) Chapter 447: It doesnt matter Chapter 447 It''s okay Meng Family, Meng Dabao recently couldn''t get up enough energy to go to kindergarten because of Xiao Qingning''s absence. Finally, the weekend came, and when he was able to see Xiao Qingning, Meng Dabao discovered that beside Xiao Qingning, there was another little boy! ¡ª¡ª He rushed straight up, and was about to trouble Junjun! Fortunately, at this moment, Xiao Qingning scolded the ''crazy'' Meng Dabao. "Dabao, you are not allowed to bully my younger brother!" "Brother, younger brother?" Meng Dabao was startled, he never knew that Xiao Qingning had a younger brother. And Junjun also looked at Meng Dabao curiously. For some reason, he was not afraid of the other party at all. Even when he saw Meng Dabao rushing towards him just now, he was not worried about being hurt at all. Maybe it''s because this ''big treasure'' is not as tall as him? Junjun is afraid of strange adults, but he is not timid at all when he is facing children of the same age, even younger than himself. Junjun is just six years old now, and he is only a few months younger than Cousin Qingning. As the son of Lan Dazhuang, Junjun has an advantage in height since he was a child. Before he was abducted, he was in good health and taller than most children of the same age. Although his mental state has not been the same as before in the past two years, fortunately, his physical development has not been affected too much. The situation of Meng Dabao is completely opposite. Although the little fool didn''t have so many worries and was raised by his family, his body suffered from the root cause of the disease when he was very young. Before he was three years old, he would have symptoms of cold and fever almost every month. Continued action will affect the normal development of the body. Even if his body is slowly getting better now, it is not impossible to get sick. As the weather changes, hot and cold, windy and rainy, he still catches a cold, coughs, and even has a fever. So Meng Dabao is a little shorter than boys of his age. Even Xiao Qingning is taller than Meng Dabao, let alone Junjun. Through Cousin Qingning, Junjun knows that Dabao is a friend of her cousin. Even if there are conflicts between children, they can be solved quickly. After a while, the three children were already playing together. Not far away, Tang Chu was just cooking pear soup for his son in the kitchen, and when he came back, he saw another little boy beside his son. The little boy looked naive. When Tang Chu got along with her family''s Junjun, Tang Chu saw that his child''s body and face no longer had the timidity he had before. Junjun smiled happily, usually timidly, his habitual hunched shoulders disappeared, his back was straight, and he was running on the lawn in the yard. At this moment, Tang Chu suddenly felt that it was right for him to bring Junjun to the capital. If possible, she hopes that Junjun can keep away from negative emotions like this, and become the cheerful and sunny child he used to be! The next afternoon, Tang Chu watched the three children playing happily not far away. When the children were tired from playing, she served soup for the children, and asked the three little guys to come over for a few sips, and take a rest along the way. Unknowingly, time passed quickly. The three children stood together, Xiao Qingning and Junjun waved their hands and said to Meng Dabao, "Goodbye." When the Meng family brought Meng Dabao home, Junjun was still asking Xiao Qingning, "When will Dabao come to play again?" Knowing that Meng Dabao might come on the weekend, Junjun is very happy. And when Tang Chu saw the expectant expression on her son''s face, she also looked forward to it. She expects her son to get out of the previous haze and enter a normal study life. Tang Chu felt that here, perhaps one day, his own Junjun could really forget his misfortune and recover as before¡ª That night, Tang Chu called his man. "...I''ve been doing well recently, and Junjun has also made friends." "...Junjun is very happy today, smiling all the time." ¡°¡­Junjun took several piano lessons, and the teacher said he is very talented and can continue to learn.¡± "...Junjun likes to play the piano. Usually, when Xiao Qingning goes to school, he will go to the piano room to play Xiao Qingning''s piano." Tang Chu told Lan Dazhuang about his state and his son''s recent situation in detail. After speaking, she proposed, "I want to stay here with Junjun for a while longer." She knew that living in someone else''s house was a bit disturbing, but the child''s condition had finally improved, and when he went back to Qingyang County, Tang Chu worried that his son''s state would return to timid and cowering soon. Although Lan Dazhuang misses his wife and son, he heard that his son''s condition has improved during his younger sister''s home, so he supports his daughter-in-law''s decision very much. "Stay there, then," he replied. "I also want to buy Junjun a piano." Tang Chu said. She knows that the piano is not cheap, but as long as it can make her son better, is what Junjun likes, and wants to learn, she hopes to give it to her son. This is the first time Tang Chu asked Lan Dazhuang for something in the seven years since he married Lan Dazhuang. Although Lan Dazhuang has been in the village most of the time these years, he looks like a full-fledged farmer, but in fact his chicken farm and orchard are both profitable and have made some money. Even though the money is collectively owned by the four siblings, his personal share is quite a lot. So his son wanted to learn piano and buy a piano, and he agreed without hesitation. "Let''s buy it, how much does it cost? I''ll transfer it to you tomorrow." Lan Dazhuang said. When Tang Chu was learning the piano before his son, he had already asked the teacher about the price of the piano. So she replied, "Twenty to thirty thousand." 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is not a small sum for many families! Hearing the price of the piano, Lan Dazhuang was glad that he had listened to his younger sister''s words, and the brothers and sisters only contracted the back mountain and made money. Otherwise, he must not even have the money to buy a piano for his son now. Fortunately, to him now, 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is nothing. "Daughter-in-law, it will take two days to pass the money after it is transferred. When you withdraw the money, you can buy what you need for your son." The next day, Lan Dazhuang gave his wife 50,000 yuan. Among them, 30,000 yuan was used to buy a piano, and the remaining 20,000 yuan was reserved for the expenses of the mother and son in Kyoto. At the same time, Lan Dazhuang was still thinking about one thing. He could tell from the voice of his daughter-in-law on the phone that his daughter-in-law had recovered well during the time she lived at the younger sister''s house. According to my daughter-in-law, my son''s cowardly reaction has also changed a lot. Since he lives in Kyoto and treats his daughter-in-law and son so well, does he want to buy a house in Kyoto too, so that the mother and son will stay there often in the future? Although in this way, if I want to see my daughter-in-law and son, I am afraid that I will have to travel a long way, and it will be time-consuming to travel. But it doesn''t matter~! He is working hard to make money now, so that the mother and son can live a good life. As long as the wife and son are good, it doesn¡¯t matter how hard he travels~ (end of this chapter) Chapter 448: entrust Chapter 448 Commissioned Lan Dazhuang''s plan to buy a house is not a trivial matter. If you want to buy a house in Kyoto, you can''t be impulsive. So after he transferred the money to his wife, he called his younger sister and told him what he thought. Knowing that the eldest brother intends to let Tang Chu and Junjun live in the capital in the future, if the personal feelings of the eldest brother are excluded, this is of course a good thing! "The environment in Kyoto is indeed better than that of the county, and the educational resources are also better than in the county. Junjun can also learn to play the piano with Xiao Qingning here." Lan Shu expressed her opinion quite objectively. "It''s just that my sister-in-law and Junjun are in the capital. Brother, you don''t have so many opportunities to meet their mother and son. You have to be careful about the relationship between the two places." Lan Shu said. Lan Shu is not worried that her elder brother will change his mind after a long time because he is separated from his wife. She wasn''t afraid that Tang Chu would have other thoughts about his relationship. It is purely that the husband and wife live apart in two places, and it is gradually difficult to ''keep fresh'' in the relationship. Time and distance can dilute many things, including passionate love and the affection between father and son. If Junjun doesn¡¯t see his father several times throughout the year, year after year, the role of the father, the eldest brother, will lose the meaning of existence in the child¡¯s growth process. When Junjun grows up, it will be too late for the eldest brother to give his child fatherly love! No one can tell what the relationship between father and son will become in the future. But that must not be a good thing! Lan Dazhuang had previously considered that it would be difficult to meet his wife and children after they were separated, so he was silent for a while after listening to his younger sister''s thoughts. "Then let my wife and son stay in Kyoto first, and I will try to spend as much time here as possible to accompany them." Lan Dazhuang finally focused on the mental health of his wife and son. Hearing the big brother''s decision, Lan Shu knew that the big brother had already made up his mind. She nodded, "Okay, what kind of house do you want to buy, big brother? I''ll keep an eye on it for you." Speaking of buying a house, Lan Dazhuang suddenly regained his energy! "Just buy the one near your house, my little sister, and we will be able to communicate more as brothers and sisters in the future." "What''s the price?" Lan Shu asked. "I don''t know the house price in Kyoto now, but you should be able to buy a house within 100,000 yuan, right?" Lan Dazhuang can actually spend more money, but he thinks that the place where he lives is almost enough. There is no need for it to be as big as a garden like the wedding room of his little sister and Xiaobai~! Lan Shu wrote down these requirements of her eldest brother, one hundred thousand yuan to buy a house on Chang''an Street, if it was placed a few years ago, let alone a house with a house number of less than 100, even a house with a house number of less than 50 would be enough! But now that housing prices are rising, 100,000 can only buy houses other than No. 50. She tried her best to help her eldest brother to find out, let him buy a house within house number 100~! If it really doesn''t work, she still has a garden villa at No. 99 Chang''an Road in her hand, which can be sold at the current market price. As for the original price, forget it, it''s not that Lan Shu is stingy and wants to make money from her elder brother. Lan Shu knows that her elder brother is not short of the tens of thousands of yuan that the housing price has increased, and she is even more so! Brothers settle accounts clearly, the price difference of tens of thousands of dollars, the purchase is not owed by the two brothers and sisters, so that both parties can feel at ease. However, if Lan Shu''s garden villa can not be sold, she still does not plan to sell it as much as possible. That apartment is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan now, but after more than 20 years, 70,000 to 80,000 yuan will not be able to buy¡ª ¡­ After receiving the entrustment from her eldest brother to buy a house, besides paying attention to the houses near Chang''an Street, Lan Shu also entrusted her friends to help inquire. But even so, the houses on Chang''an Street are rarely sold. Even if there are vacant houses for sale, most of them are outside the house number one or two hundred. Although those houses are also on Chang¡¯an Avenue, whether it¡¯s the design and construction of the house or the floor area, they are more than a star and a half smaller than those with house numbers less than 100. Some have a complete set with a yard, which is less than 200 square meters. Except that the land is located on this street, it is better to buy ordinary houses elsewhere. Just like that, from October to November, Lan Shu didn''t help her eldest brother find a suitable house for a month. Tang Chu had already bought Junjun a children''s piano of normal size. Apart from studying with his piano teacher on weekends, Junjun plays his own little piano on weekdays, with more and more smiles on his face. Not long after Junjun bought the piano, Lan Shu also bought a new piano for her daughter. The custom-made trumpet piano that Xiao Qingning started to use at the age of three is already a little small for her current height. Lan Shu never wronged her children, so the new piano was replaced very quickly! Xiao Qingning also loves her new piano very much. Later, she and Junjun were even able to cooperate with each other and play the piano together. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, Tang Chu had brought his son to live in Lan Shu''s house for two months. Tang Chu felt that these two months were the two months in which she had the most relaxed mood and the most smiles on Junjun''s face in the past two years with her children. If possible, she hoped that such days could continue, but Tang Chu considered a very realistic problem. ¡ªShe has been disturbing people''s homes with her children for too long. So she considered discussing with her man and moving out as soon as possible. But Tang Chu never expected that she would meet Lan Dazhuang in Kyoto that night. Junjun saw his father. Although he hadn''t seen him for two months, the child still missed his father. So Junjun rushed directly to Lan Dazhuang''s side. Lan Dazhuang easily picked up Junjun who weighed forty or fifty pounds. Seeing the happy smile on Junjun''s face, Lan Dazhuang can feel that his son''s personality has become much more cheerful than before in the past two months. He felt so grateful to his little sister that he no longer knew what to say. Besides, Tang Chu also walked towards Lan Dazhuang. Her man''s sudden arrival, the surprise brought to her, moved her eyes a little moist. Seeing that his daughter-in-law was about to cry, Lan Dazhuang hurriedly held her in his arms with the other hand, and then said in a hurry, "Daughter-in-law, don''t cry, I''m here to tell you good news this time !" Lan Dazhuang''s so-called good news is that his little sister finally helped him find a suitable house! He came to Kyoto this time, first to see his wife and son, and second to buy a house and go through the transfer procedures. Lan Dazhuang never told his wife about buying a house. Because it is hard to say whether the younger sister can help him find a suitable house, and he wants to tell his wife after everything is arranged, so that she can save herself some trouble. So when Tang Chu raised his head and looked at her man suspiciously, waiting for good news. I heard Lan Dazhuang say, "We''re going to buy a house tomorrow!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 449: big brother new home Chapter 449 Big brother''s new home Speaking of looking for a house, it was too difficult to buy a house of a suitable size near Chang''an Avenue, and Lan Shu had almost given up. She is planning to tidy up her No. 99 and sell it to her eldest brother. As a result, Lan Shu suddenly received a call from Yu Yuan, who said that a friend wanted to sell a house on Chang''an Avenue. The house number of this suite is within one hundred. ¡ªNo. 78, Chang''an Street, is a three-story villa with a garden. The house covers an area of ??more than 300 square meters, and the yard is not small, about 200 to 300 square meters. The green environment in the courtyard is good. Lan Shu went to see the house beforehand, confirmed that the location and environment of the house were good, and negotiated the price before telling her elder brother the news. When Lan Dazhuang heard about it, he immediately bought the nearest train ticket to Kyoto, and then arrived at Lan Shu''s place before it got dark at night. Besides, Tang Chu was thinking about renting a house and moving out, but now he was directly told that they were going to buy a house in Kyoto! And the house to buy is on the street nearby. This news is indeed good news for Tang Chu! When Junjun first listened to his parents, he thought that he and his mother would leave cousin Qingning''s house soon. But now, when he learned that their family will buy a house near cousin Qingning''s house, Junjun is so happy that he is about to jump up! "Great! I can continue to learn piano in the future!" Junjun said, looking at Cousin Qingning again, he continued, "You can still play with Cousin and Dabao!" Seeing his son''s excitement, Lan Dazhuang also smiled. At this moment, he felt that his choice was right! Letting the wife and son live in Kyoto is indeed a good thing for the mental health of their mother and son. That night, Lan Dazhuang stayed at the younger sister''s house for one night. The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Lan Shu sent her daughter to school, and then went to No. 78 Chang''an Avenue with her elder brother and his family. Although No. 78 is not far away from No. 36 where they live now, in fact, because the house with the front house number occupies a large area, even if it is about forty numbers away, the distance is two to three kilometers away. outside. Today, the driver, Master Zhang, drove the car. Lan Shu asked her elder brother and his family of three to sit in the back row so that they could spend more time together. She herself was sitting in the co-pilot, and the car was just full. Xiaobai is not at home because of work and business trip these days, so he will not participate in the big brother buying a house. Two to three kilometers away, five minutes by car. The car stopped, and Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang''s family got out of the car. Outside gate 78, the owner of this house was already waiting. Yu Yuan was standing with the homeowner. Now Yu Yuan has changed from the regional manager of the garment factory to the deputy general manager of Langu Group, equal to Liu Axing. Originally, Lan Shu planned to choose a deputy general manager among the two, but she later found out that both Liu Axing and Yu Yuan were excellent in work ability, and it would be a loss for the group to miss anyone. The two got promoted together. A few years have passed, and now Yu Yuan has lost the temperament of a market peddler. He is wearing a white shirt and a black suit jacket today, looking like an elite in the workplace. But even though Yu Yuan is very popular in the outside world, in front of Lan Shu, he is still the former employee who was pointed out by Lan Shu and belonged to Yuan. At this time, Yu Yuan saw his boss coming, he immediately went up to meet him, and then introduced the original owner of No. 78 to Lan Shu. The homeowner''s surname is Liao. The reason why he sold the house was because he wanted to move his family to Shencheng for development. Sell the house in Kyoto, so that he can have more capital to venture into the deep city. In the past few years, the development of Shenzhen City has been changing with each passing day. Many entrepreneurial talents have come to Shenzhen City one after another, and many of them have made remarkable achievements in their careers. So slowly, Shencheng has attracted more people with lofty ideals to start a business and develop. They are full of ambition and hope to succeed in one fell swoop. Originally, when Lan Dazhuang was buying a house today, the owner didn''t actually have to come in person. Yu Yuan, as a middleman, just took it with him to have a look. But Boss Liao learned that Yu Yuan''s boss, Ms. Lan, might also show up, so he waited here early, just to see Ms. Lan. Boss Liao knows that in addition to being the youngest vice president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lan is also the largest shareholder of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce''s Shencheng investment project! Boss Liao will go to Shencheng to develop in the future. If he can make friends with Miss Lan, it can be regarded as giving him more contacts. Knowing Boss Liao''s thoughts, Lan Shu did not reject the other party''s idea of ??getting to know her. Contacts are not one-sided. What business needs is communication. Or one day, while I am helping Boss Liao, the other party may also bring benefits to me? Because of Boss Liao''s intention to make friends, the seller was enthusiastic and the buyer was comfortable during the whole process of looking at the house. Finally, on the basis of the price of 87,000 that Lan Shu originally negotiated with Boss Liao, the other party automatically reduced it by 2,000, and the deal was 85,000. In the afternoon, Lan Dazhuang''s family and the owner, Boss Liao, went to pay the money and transfer the ownership together. On this day, Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu had a house in Beijing¡ª ¡­ After buying a house, there is a lot of work to do in cleaning up the house and moving. At this time, of course, Lan Dazhuang, who was full of strength, came to sweat. Lan Dazhuang went to No. 78 to clean the house early the next morning. Tang Chu also wanted to clean up, but was stopped by Lan Dazhuang. "Daughter-in-law, you rest at my little sister''s house first, and I will pick you up with your son after I clean up." Tang Chu was of course moved by Lan Dazhuang''s behavior of protecting his wife. Even Lan Shu felt that although her elder brother looked at a straight guy, he was quite capable. But she didn''t let her eldest brother clean up by himself in the three-story villa of nearly 300 square meters on each floor. Lan Shu''s residence has a live-in nanny, so it''s okay to ask the nanny to help. With the joint efforts of Lan Dazhuang and the two nannies, the mansion at No. 78 Chang''an Street belonging to Lan Dazhuang''s family was finally cleaned up in the afternoon. The house is fully furnished, and Boss Liao sent all the furniture together when he sold the house. So Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu only need to buy a few quilts, bring clothes, and move in with their bags. Lan Dazhuang didn''t need to worry about buying these things. There were several new quilts in Lan Shu''s house. In addition to the set that Tang Chu and Junjun made up before, Lan Shu asked the nanny to move three more sets. At night, Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu, and Jun Jun''s family of three have already moved into a new house in Kyoto. Brother moved, and Lan Shu specially brought her daughter and nanny to the door, and had dinner at the elder brother''s house in the evening, which was a simple celebration of the big brother''s housewarming. The matter of Lan Dazhuang buying a house in Kyoto, as Lan Dazhuang returned to Qingyang County a few days later, it didn''t take long for Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang to hear about it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 450: Give up the idea Chapter 450 Give up the idea Lan Shengli learned that his eldest son had also moved to Kyoto. He thought it would be better for Da Zhuang and Shu Shu to live closer, so that the siblings could take care of them more or less. After Chang Chunfang heard the news, she was silent for a while, then raised her head and said to her old man, "Is it possible that we will also move to Kyoto in the future?" Listening to what his wife said, Lan Shengli expressed his disapproval on the spot. "We are doing well in Linjiang City, what are we going to do in Kyoto?" "And when you go to Kyoto, where do you live? Is it Shushu''s house or Da Zhuang''s house?" Lan Shengli said this because he felt that it was not suitable for his wife to live anywhere. Although Shu Shu is not his own daughter, in Lan Shengli''s heart, Shu Shu is no different from his own daughter. But Shushu is not biological after all, how can he and his wife live in Shushu''s house and let Shushu take care of them? Besides, he has three sons~ It''s never Shushu''s turn to care for the elderly. So what''s the matter with my wife going to Kyoto and staying at Shushu''s house? Besides the situation of living in the eldest son''s house, it doesn''t work either. Lan Shengli will not forget about the carelessness of his wife and the loss of his eldest grandson. It''s a good thing that Junjun was found back, otherwise it would be impossible for his eldest son and his wife to sever ties with their old couple! But even if the child is recovered, the relationship between the eldest daughter-in-law and his wife will not be able to get together. So regarding his wife''s thoughts, he had better ask his wife to stop in advance! If they get old and really can''t afford to retire in the future, Lan Shengli has already thought about it. They return to the village to open a vegetable field, and with the money they have earned over the years, they can definitely live comfortably and worry-free. In short, Lan Shengli thinks that he and his wife can do it for a day, so they must not drag their children down. After Lan Shengli finished speaking, he frowned slightly when he saw that his wife was still looking forward to going to the capital. "Chunfang, don''t you want to go to Kyoto to see Xinya?" Seeing his wife''s expression tense, he wanted to explain, but Lan Shengli didn''t give Chang Chunfang a chance to explain. "If you want to go to Kyoto to see Xinya, or stay at Xinya''s house, then go." Lan Shengli said this not to let his wife and his biological daughter develop a relationship, but to let his wife recognize a fact. "If you want to find Xinya, I''ll give you 1,000 yuan to bring it with you. You can stay with Xinya as long as you want." Lan Shengli continued. Sometimes people need to know how to have a long memory. He wants to know how long his wife can live with her biological daughter whom she misses so much before she gets chilled? Lan Shengli knows very well that with Xinya''s attitude towards them, when they are old, unable to work, and have no money, Xinya may not even be able to take a look at them. So it doesn''t matter if his wife is gone, she will always know who is worthy of her concern after seeing people''s hearts after a long time. Chang Chunfang didn''t expect that her old man would take the initiative to give her money and let her go to see Xinya! This feeling is good~! She hasn''t seen Xinya for a while, and this time she can go to Kyoto to see her biological daughter. And Shushu is also in Kyoto, so her two daughters can see her. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang have been married for decades, he knows his wife''s thoughts too well, he also thought of this, so Lan Shengli added to his wife. "This time you are going to Kyoto, since you are going to see Xinya, then don''t let Shushu know, you are clear about the conflict between Shushu and Xinya." After being reminded by Lan Shengli, Chang Chunfang suddenly remembered, yes~! The relationship between Shushu and Xinya is not right, if Shushu knows that she is going to see Xinya in Kyoto, she will definitely feel uncomfortable. So she will listen to her family''s victory and not go to see Shushu. She will go to Shushu when she has a chance in the future. So Zai Shengli made an agreement with Chang Chunfang that this time she went to Kyoto, at least she would stay at Xinya''s house for a month, or spend the New Year in Kyoto. After Chang Chunfang nodded in agreement, Lan Shengli gave his wife 1,000 yuan without any hesitation, and then personally sent his wife to the train to Kyoto the next day. ¡­ On the other side, before Chang Chunfang set off, Lan Xinya learned that her mother was going to visit her in Kyoto, and stayed for a while. For this, Lan Xinya was completely unwilling! But she heard Lan Shengli''s father say on the phone that her mother Chang Chunfang will take care of the living expenses by herself, and then she only needs to live with her. Although Lan Xinya didn''t want Chang Chunfang to come to her place, she still hesitated when she heard about the living expenses. Because Chang Chunfang had given her 4,500 yuan one after another before, and she also said at the time that the money was her living expenses saved in the past. So Lan Xinya was very curious about the living expenses of the old couple of the Lan family. At the same time, she also wants it very much. So she reluctantly agreed to go to the train station to pick him up at night. Chang Chunfang was very happy when Lan Xinya said she would pick her up. This made her even more excited and full of expectations to go to Kyoto to meet her daughter. The train Chang Chunfang took from Linjiang City to Kyoto arrived at 7:30 p.m. She was carrying two big bags and took a daytime train. After getting off at the station, she looked around the station for a while, but she didn''t see Lan Xinya. In this strange place, Chang Chunfang couldn''t go far, so she could only wait on the spot. She waited for more than half an hour, the people in the station had already left, and Chang Chunfang waited for Lan Xinya, who had been late. "Mom, I''m too busy in the store, so I''m late." Lan Xinya said without apology, and didn''t think there was any problem with her being late. Instead, she thought that her mother should forgive her for being late for work reasons. When Chang Chunfang heard her daughter say this, although she was really upset when she waited for a long time at first, she knew the reason and was able to understand again. Then Chang Chunfang and Lan Xinya went to the place where Lan Xinya lived. It was too late at this time, and there were no buses. Fortunately, Lan Xinya had a bicycle to use. But the fat man is not good at sports and gets tired easily. She was sweating profusely when she stared at the bicycle, let alone carrying other people. So when Lan Xinya said that her vehicle could not carry people, Chang Chunfang could only put her luggage on the crossbar and the back seat of the bicycle, push the bicycle by herself, and walk back from the station with Lan Xinya. The railway station is a little far from where Lan Xinya lives. Chang Chunfang arrived at the station at 7:30, and it was already past 8 o''clock. When the two returned to Lan Xinya''s residence, the moon was high in the sky, and the hour hand on the dial on her wrist had already pointed to nine. Walking for nearly an hour, with Chang Chunfang''s physique, she didn''t feel tired at all, but she felt that her visit to her biological daughter this time was too different from the treatment she received when she lived with Shushu in the past. In the past, Shushu was already waiting when she arrived at the station, and then she got in the car to rest immediately after she got out of the station, and she didn''t have to carry her luggage by herself. And now she is waiting and leaving again, which is very frustrating. (end of this chapter) Chapter 451: not enough Chapter 451 is not enough At 9:30 in the evening, Chang Chunfang pushed a bicycle and stood in front of an ordinary house with Lan Xinya. It is already November, although it is not cold during the day, but there is a cool breeze at night. The temperature difference between day and night is huge, Chang Chunfang was sweating when she was walking, but now she stood quietly, the cool wind made her feel cold and sneezing! Lan Xinya lives in the same two-story private house with a yard that she rented a few years ago. It''s just that this place was rented before, but now she has bought it. But Lan Xinya did not tell Chang Chunfang about the house purchase. She opened the door to let Chang Chunfang in, and then said, "Mom, this is the house I rented." When Chang Chunfang heard that her daughter lived in a rented house, she immediately felt that her child was suffering. Thinking that two years ago, Xinya was only able to buy a house by a thousand dollars, because she and her husband did not support her. Two years later, Xinya still has no home. So Chang Chunfang hardly hesitated, put down her luggage, took out a cloth bag from her close pocket, and gave 1,000 yuan to her daughter. "Xinya, you can use this thousand yuan to buy a house." Lan Xinya never expected that she would receive 1,000 yuan shortly after receiving Chang Chunfang. This made her happy, and felt that the old couple of the Lan family were really rich! I don¡¯t know how much ¡®living expenses¡¯ Chang Chunfang brought when she came to Kyoto this time? She accepted the 1,000 yuan, then looked at Chang Chunfang with a look of embarrassment and sighed. "Mom, with this thousand dollars, two years ago, I, Tiantian, could indeed buy a house, but the housing prices in Kyoto have risen again in the past two years, so one thousand dollars is not enough." This means that she still needs more ''support''. But Chang Chunfang only has this thousand yuan~ She still had some change in her pocket, but the sum of those changes was not enough to add up to one hundred yuan. Fortunately, Chang Chunfang didn''t lose her mind after seeing her biological daughter, she suddenly thought of¡ª "Xinya, you can earn some money by doing business in the past two years, isn''t it enough to buy a house?" Chang Chunfang asked. Lan Xinya shook her head, "Business requires capital, and my business is all under the weight of the goods, so I can''t move easily, and the business in my store has really not been very good in the past two years, so I can barely take care of my life. So I didn¡¯t save a lot of money.¡± Lan Xinya sighed again as she spoke. At this moment, she showed her poverty quite clearly. When Chang Chunfang heard what her daughter said, she had to believe it. Yes, if Xinya was really rich, why would she still rent a house? So that night, Chang Chunfang slept in the room that Lan Xinya temporarily vacated for her, and half of the clothes were piled up in the room. Not only did she not feel that this place was bad, but she was all indebted to her own daughter. Chang Chunfang kept thinking in her heart that Xinya was short of that one thousand yuan two years ago... ¡­ The next day, she had something on her mind and stayed up almost all night. Chang Chunfang, who had just blinked her eyes and slept for a while at dawn, got up very early again. She went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for her daughter. But when she got to the kitchen, she searched the kitchen, and only found a small half bag of rice. Fortunately, when she came, she brought two bottles of pickles she made herself, more than twenty salted duck eggs, and two crispy chickens. So Chang Chunfang cooked some porridge, heated up the salted duck eggs and crispy chicken, and had enough to eat in the morning. Lan Xinya woke up from the smell. The shopping mall opened too early and no one went shopping, so she usually went at 8:30. It''s only past seven o''clock, and it''s still more than half an hour before she usually wakes up. Usually she would not wake up so early, but today is a special case. Lan Xinya knew that Chang Chunfang had made breakfast, so she got up and washed up briefly, then went to the kitchen, and seeing the things Chang Chunfang was heating up in the pot, she suddenly had an appetite! Eating fried chicken in the morning is too greasy. Chang Chunfang also heated up the crispy chicken because there was no food at home, thinking about eating two bites casually. As a result, she found that her daughter had such a good appetite that she ate up a whole crispy chicken! In addition, Lan Xinya drank a bowl of porridge and ate two salted duck eggs. Even though Chang Chunfang already knew how much her own daughter had to eat, she still felt that it was unhealthy to eat so much oil in the morning. She shared her thoughts with Lan Xinya, but she saw Lan Xinya looking at her aggrieved. "Mom, I haven''t eaten breakfast so well in a long time. Usually, because the store is busy, I often don''t have time to have breakfast..." These words reached the mother''s ears, how could she not feel distressed? When Chang Chunfang heard this, she immediately said, "From now on, Mom will cook for you every morning, so you won''t be hungry!" "Thank you, Mom." Lan Xinya replied with a smile. After a few words, she went out, saying that she was going to the mall to open a store. Chang Chunfang heard about it and planned to follow. She went to her daughter''s shop, and she could help somewhat. Although Lan Xinya also wants to use Chang Chunfang''s free labor, she is worried that Chang Chunfang has been in her shop for a long time, and when the time comes to settle her shop''s accounts, she will know that her statement that the business is not profitable is false . So Lan Xinya refused to let Chang Chunfang go to the clothing store. "Mom, you just came here yesterday. Let''s take a good rest at home today. I''m busy with business. You can watch at home and eat something at noon. I''ll be back in the evening." Hearing what her daughter said, Chang Chunfang had no choice but to do so. However, Chang Chunfang only feels heartwarming if her daughter loves her and is afraid that she will be tired, so if she lets her rest. After Lan Xinya left, Chang Chunfang did not rest, but helped her daughter clean the inside and outside of the house carefully. Even in the stinky dry toilet, she flushes it clean without being too dirty or tired. Chang Chunfang felt that if she could do something for her daughter, she should do her best. Xinya is working so hard in business, so I help her tidy up the house. At noon, because Lan Xinya''s kitchen really didn''t have anything to eat, Chang Chunfang could deal with it casually, but she couldn''t make do with it when her daughter came back for dinner at night. Chang Chunfang didn''t have a key to the house, and she didn''t dare to run too far. She kept the door open, and then walked around, hoping to find a place selling vegetables. It is not far from the Huamei Shopping Mall. There are quite a lot of small restaurants, but it is not common to sell vegetables. Chang Chunfang asked nearby passers-by for directions, and then came across two vegetable stalls at the entrance of a small alley, and bought some vegetables with the change in her pocket. Back to her daughter''s house, Chang Chunfang ate the white porridge cooked too much in the morning at noon, some pickles and a salted duck egg to make do with it. In the evening, she didn''t know when her daughter would leave work, so she could only make an appointment, prepared a meal and waited for Xinya to come back. (end of this chapter) Chapter 452: worth Chapter 452 Worthy Lan Xinya came back after 7:30 in the evening. She closed the clothing store at seven o''clock, as usual, and went home after eating in a small restaurant near the mall. She herself is full, and she doesn''t care whether Chang Chunfang in her family has eaten. Lan Xinya clearly remembered that before Chang Chunfang came, her father Lan Shengli said on the phone that Chang Chunfang would bring living expenses when he came. So Chang Chunfang already has living expenses, so of course I don''t have to worry about her food. If I don''t go back to eat, I''m already saving Chang Chunfang money. So when Chang Chunfang finally expected her daughter to come back, she was told by her daughter that she had already had dinner outside. This made Chang Chunfang slightly startled¡ª Then she looked down at the fried vegetables and rice porridge on the table, and was silent for a while. In the end, she could only eat by herself... Because it was a meal for two people, Chang Chunfang couldn''t finish it at night, so she had to save it for tomorrow morning. The next morning, what Lan Xinya ate was the rice porridge that Chang Chunfang had boiled early in the morning, two salted duck eggs, and the last crispy chicken that Chang Chunfang brought from Linjiang City. But what Chang Chunfang ate was the leftovers and leftovers that she hadn''t finished eating last night. The two sat at the same table for breakfast, but the food they could eat was completely different. Regarding this scene, Lan Xinya didn''t think there was anything wrong. She thought in her heart that it was only natural for a mother to leave delicious food to her children. Because Chang Chunfang treated her like this during the few days when she lived in Lan''s house. She knew that Chang Chunfang would treat her well unconditionally, so she didn''t think about whether such kindness had a deadline or an end... ¡­ After dinner, Lan Xinya got up to go out to the store, but she was stopped by Chang Chunfang before she walked out of the yard. "Xinya, give me a key to your place. I will lock the door after a while and go out for a stroll and come back to buy some food." Listening to Chang Chunfang''s request, Lan Xinya was stunned! She never thought of giving Chang Chunfang the key of her house¡ª To her, Chang Chunfang is an outsider in her own home! So Lan Xinya frowned slightly, and asked with great reluctance in her heart, "Mom, how long do you plan to stay with me?" At first, Lan Xinya thought that Chang Chunfang''s coming to Kyoto was like she was going to Lan''s house from Kyoto to stay for a few days, and after taking a look, she went back. But Chang Chunfang asked her for the key, which made Lan Xinya feel that it was not what she thought? Sure enough, the next second she heard Chang Chunfang say, "I plan to stay for a while, you see you didn''t eat well in the morning, if I wasn''t here, you would be hungry again." Chang Chunfang didn''t understand Lan Xinya''s question, because she had a problem with the length of her stay here. And when she heard that Chang Chunfang was going to stay longer, Lan Xinya frowned even deeper¡ª "Mom, I usually don''t go hungry in the morning. There is a breakfast shop near the shopping mall where I shop. It''s very convenient to eat a few buns and have a bowl of porridge." "Where are the buns outside, where are the buns made at home, are you willing to use materials~!?" Chang Chunfang took the words and continued. "You like to eat steamed stuffed buns, then mom will go out today to see where you can buy meat, and when she comes back, she will make meaty steamed stuffed buns for you." Hearing about eating meat buns, Lan Xinya still remembered that when she was at Lan''s house, she had eaten Chang Chunfang''s big meat buns. It was indeed filled with meat, and it was more delicious than outside ones. So Lan Xinya hesitated for a while, then went to the house and took out a key, and handed it to Chang Chunfang. Lan Xinya''s reaction, to Chang Chunfang, is equivalent to her daughter agreeing to her staying here for a longer period of time. Chang Chunfang was very happy, so after Lan Xinya left, when she went out to buy flour, green onions, and meat, she was happy even when she spent money. When Lan Xinya came back at night, she could smell the smell of meat buns coming from the kitchen from a long distance away. She specially didn¡¯t eat in the restaurant outside tonight, she just waited to come back to eat steamed stuffed buns~ Sure enough, Chang Chunfang would immediately do as long as she said a word. Just like now, when she mentioned the meat buns, Chang Chunfang steamed a large pot of meat buns for herself. Looking at it this way, Lan Xinya was not in a hurry to let Chang Chunfang leave. After all, there are multiple nannies in the family, and it is a good thing that they can clean and cook for themselves without spending a penny. So Lan Xinya acquiesced that Chang Chunfang could stay in her house for a while longer. It''s just that Lan Xinya didn''t know that Chang Chunfang had limited money left. Chang Chunfang went out today to buy flour, meat, other vegetables, and soy sauce, and already spent more than ten yuan. If things go on like this, the remaining 60 yuan in her hand will be enough for at most half a month''s expenses. Although there is not much money in hand, Chang Chunfang is not worried. She only gave her daughter 1,000 yuan yesterday, and she will ask Xinya for it when the money in her hand is gone. But Chang Chunfang didn''t know that she wanted to get money from Lan Xinya, but it was more difficult than going to heaven! The money that went into Lan Xinya''s hands, is there any reason to spit it out? So the time she stays at Lan Xinya''s house depends on when the money in her hands runs out... And such a result, before Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto, Lan Shengli in Linjiang City had already expected it. Lan Shengli gave his wife 1,000 yuan for the so-called living expenses. In fact, he had already guessed that his wife would give the money to Lan Xinya. When his wife watched her give Xinya money, but Xinya disliked her, it should make his wife feel cold, right? Lan Shengli felt that it was not a loss to spend 1,000 yuan to let his wife see the facts clearly. As long as my wife can understand his intentions in the future and know that it is meaningless to pay some people, it will be worth it... ¡­ When Chang Chunfang lived in Lan Xinya''s house, neither Lan Shu nor Lan Sibo, who worked at the Kyoto Suburban Biological Research Institute, knew that their adoptive mother had come to Kyoto. As for Tang Chu, she didn''t care much about Chang Chunfang''s situation. Since Tang Chu took Junjun to settle in the capital, apart from not being able to see her man often and Junjun not being able to see his father, the mother and son had a pretty good life in other respects. There are still two months before the Chinese New Year. Tang Chu called her man last night and asked where they will celebrate the New Year this year? Lan Dazhuang''s first reaction in his heart was of course to go back to the village, but he thought of the gap between his wife and his mother, so Lan Dazhuang answered after thinking for a while. "Daughter-in-law, do you and your son want to celebrate the New Year in Kyoto, or go back to the county?" He never mentioned the matter of returning to the village. Tang Chu was very touched that his man gave him such an important right to choose. She also knew that it was difficult for a dutiful son like her man to make such a choice. So Tang Chu took a deep breath and replied, "Let''s go back to the village during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, we will only stay for two days at most." Tang Chu had made up his mind that they would go back on New Year''s Eve, stay for one day on the first day of the new year, and leave on the second day of the new year. If her man can make choices for her, then she can also be patient for her man. (end of this chapter) Chapter 453: ask for money Chapter 453 Asking for money The Chinese New Year is approaching, this is already the ninth year that Lan Shu came to this world. After the new year, we will enter the tenth year. The 1980s is about to pass, and the 1990s is ushering in. The country''s economic development will also be greatly improved in the future! Lan Shu is already twenty-seven years old, and there is still half a year before her twenty-eighth birthday. At her age, if she is placed in later generations, she may not be able to find a partner, let alone get married and have children. And now, she is the mother of a child who is about to be seven years old. Since Xiao Qingning entered elementary school, she seems to have grown up rapidly, not only in height, age, but also in psychology. For a child who is less than seven years old, in addition to completing school homework every day and taking time to practice the piano, Xiao Qingning has her own goals and ideals. She has a deeper understanding of her parents'' work situation, and knows that her mother is a powerful female entrepreneur, and her father has also made many achievements in medicine. The excellence of her parents made Xiao Qingning aim at them. She hopes that when she grows up, she can be as extraordinary as her parents. So Xiao Qingning never had to worry about Lan Shu when it came to her studies, her grades were among the best in the class. Xiao Qingning''s studies are good. In contrast, Meng Dabao, who is the same age as her, is still in kindergarten. Meng Dabao is in the middle class of kindergarten this year. Whether he can go to elementary school in two years depends on his performance in the kindergarten. Although Meng Dabao''s IQ is very problematic, because he always wanted to catch up with his friends and also wanted to go to elementary school, after one thing was confirmed, Meng Dabao redoubled his efforts. He is stupid, he is stupid, but he can fly first. When he was in kindergarten, Meng Dabao carefully wrote down what the teacher said, and when he got home, he would turn out his homework and write it down. If there is something he doesn''t know, he will ask his stepmother Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan will also tirelessly guide Meng Dabao. Sun Yuan is a university graduate, so it is no problem for her to tutor a kindergarten child. In the past few years since Sun Yuan married Meng Heng, the relationship between the husband and wife has always been very good, and there has never been a quarrel. For Meng Dabao, the son of her husband''s ex-wife, Sun Yuan has always regarded him as her own child. On the contrary, she herself has been married for several years, but she has not conceived a child. Although Sun Yuan also hopes that she can have a child, she doesn''t force it. If she can have a child, she will be very happy, if not, it doesn''t matter, Dabao is her child. Meng''s family, after Sun Yuan married into the family, and as his son grew up, Meng Heng has found a job in the past two years. Using his years of training experience in the army, he joined a security company as an instructor. Meng Heng has a good foundation, so his ability is also outstanding in work. Now his salary is much higher than when he was in the army, and supporting his family is definitely not a problem. In addition, Sun Yuan also has a job and works as a secretary in a small company, so the life of the Meng family is getting better day by day. Compared to the Meng family, Lan Xinya, who left the Meng family, devoted almost all her energy to the business, and even her son seldom had time to visit. The result of her hard work is that the monthly income of the store is about 200 yuan. Compared with going to work, this kind of income used to be much higher than the salary at work. However, with the development of the economy in the past two years, the wages offered by various companies have also increased. The wages of workers who used to be generally 40 to 50 yuan are now It has risen to seventy or eighty, or even eighty or ninety. Next, the obvious wages will go up again, and her monthly income of two hundred yuan will really be nothing~! In the past few days, because Chang Chunfang came to the capital, Lan Xinya''s life is pretty good. Every day, her own mother cooks for her in different ways, which is much better than her usual meals in small restaurants near the shopping mall. Unfortunately, the good times are coming to an end soon. In the morning, Lan Xinya finished her meal and was about to go to the mall to open the store, but Chang Chunfang stopped her. "Xinya, what do you want to eat tonight? Potato stewed meat? Or stewed chicken with mushrooms?" Chang Chunfang picked out two of her daughter''s favorite foods and asked about them. Lan Xinya thought for a while, "Eat stewed chicken with mushrooms." She has been busy all day and must be tired when she gets home, so she wants to drink chicken soup. Chang Chunfang nodded, and then said¡ª "Xinya, you give Mom a hundred dollars first, I''ve run out of change." Chang Chunfang said calmly, she didn''t think she was asking for money from her daughter. Because when she came to Kyoto half a month ago, she gave Xinya 1,000 yuan. But Chang Chunfang''s thoughts are completely different from Lan Xinya''s! Lan Xinya opened her eyes slightly, and turned to look at Chang Chunfang in surprise. At this moment, she only had one thought in her heart¡ª¡ª How could Chang Chunfang ask her for money? ! As for Chang Chunfang''s pocket money running out, is this possible? Lan Xinya didn''t believe that Chang Chunfang was out of money, and she didn''t believe that Chang Chunfang came to the capital, so she brought more than a thousand points, but in the end she gave all the thousand dollars to herself, leaving less than a hundred dollars? So Lan Xinya immediately expressed her thoughts, "Mom, my job is already very difficult, why do you still ask me for money?" This tone, as if Chang Chunfang asked her for money, what a heinous thing he did! Lan Xinya''s words also made Chang Chunfang stunned. She stared blankly at her daughter with a puzzled look on her face. "Xinya, I... don''t you want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms? I don''t have any money, so I can buy chicken and mushrooms if you give me money." Chang Chunfang said. "Are you really out of money?" Lan Xinya frowned and looked at Chang Chunfang seriously. Her eyes were looking back and forth at Chang Chunfang, and the feeling of doubt was quite obvious. This question made Chang Chunfang choke, "How could I lie to you?" Chang Chunfang was incredible. During this period of time, she has been doing her best to take care of everything at home for her daughter, but Xinya still suspects that she is lying? If she really lied for money, why did she give Xinya almost all of her money in the first place? Finally, Lan Xinya finally found out that Chang Chunfang might really have no money. So her father Lan Shengli''s so-called mother came to live with her and brought living expenses, that is, the one thousand yuan? No! The one thousand yuan was bought by Chang Chunfang for her house, so it was not living expenses! So Lan Xinya sighed, and reluctantly took out twenty yuan from her pocket. When she handed over the money to Chang Chunfang, she didn''t feel that the money belonged to Chang Chunfang in the first place. Instead, he thinks that Chang Chunfang will live in her house in the future and spend her money? Chang Chunfang asked for a hundred yuan, but finally got only twenty. After Lan Xinya gave the money, she left home soon. (end of this chapter) Chapter 454: Chance Chapter 454 Chance At home, Chang Chunfang looked down at the twenty yuan in her hand, and she was silent for a while. She still remembers the entanglement and reluctance on Xinya''s face when Xinya gave her the money just now. There was also a trace of disgust in Xinya''s eyes when she raised her head and looked at her. This made Chang Chunfang realize that Xinya didn''t want to give her money? But this money was originally the living expenses her wife gave her~! And she got the money, not to spend it herself, but to buy ingredients for Xinya to cook delicious meals. But even so, Xinya seemed to feel that she was spending her money? This thought made Chang Chunfang feel a little blocked. But she persuaded herself, maybe she was wrong just now? But even if she comforted herself, Chang Chunfang was still preoccupied on this day. So much so that she didn''t have much appetite to eat at noon. In the afternoon, when she went out to buy ingredients and came back to make chicken and mushroom soup for her own daughter, she finally regained some energy. In the evening, when Lan Xinya came back, she ate Chang Chunfang''s stewed chicken and mushrooms as promised. The stewed chicken is soft and rotten, and the mushrooms are also stewed deliciously. Thinking that these were bought with her money, Lan Xinya ate with peace of mind. Seeing that Chang Chunfang also filled a bowl of soup from the pot, she also paid attention to the amount of soup in Chang Chunfang''s bowl, so Lan Xinya looked away. Lan Xinya felt that Chang Chunfang was actually quite sensible, knowing that she spent money on today''s meal, so she just made fun of it and didn''t compete with her for food. At this moment, Lan Xinya seems to have selectively forgotten that in the past half month, Chang Chunfang spent money and labored hard, and every meal was for her to eat. On the contrary, Chang Chunfang ate a little meat for every meal. She was afraid that her own daughter would not eat enough, so she just tasted it. Chang Chunfang can be said to strictly abide by the requirements she set for herself¡ªgive all good things to children. But the ''child'' she feeds wholeheartedly, doesn''t know how to be grateful at all, and just asks for it blindly! ¡­ There is still one month before the Chinese New Year, and Lan Shu once again participated in the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. On the day of the meeting, Xiaobai couldn''t be there because he was busy with work. As the vice president of the chamber of commerce, Lan Shu couldn''t afford to go, so she could only participate in the whole process. In this meeting, Lan Shu brought Tang Chu along. As for Xiao Qingning and Junjun, one of the two children still has to go to school, and the other is not idle. Lan Shu contacted the piano teacher in advance, and specially gave Junjun a private lesson on this day, with Xiao Qingning''s nanny Lin Ting watching from the side. The purpose of Lan Shu bringing Tang Chu to the meeting is not to find a companion, but to hope that even if Tang Chu returns home to take care of the children, he will not close himself up, only have children in his eyes, and will not think about other things . Lan Shu hoped that Tang Chu would not be out of touch with society because of raising children. Continuing like this, if Tang Chu wants to come back in a few years and want to return to the workplace, it will definitely be very difficult for her. The people brought by the vice president of the chamber of commerce were not members of the chamber of commerce, so Tang Chu could only sit in the corner of the conference room. Even so, she didn''t complain at all, and even felt that this moment seemed to bring her back to her life when she was the secretary to the director of the garment factory. Tang Chu listened to the reports and exchanges of members at the meeting, as well as everyone''s discussions on a certain topic. Those who can have a say in this meeting, even if they are not industry giants, are successful in business. After the whole meeting, Tang Chu had the feeling of ''listening to what you have to say is better than reading ten years of books''. She found that in the past two years, she has devoted herself to taking care of her children, coupled with her mentality problems, and rarely had contact with the outside world. As a result, she has indeed been somewhat unable to keep up with the development of today''s society and her understanding of business changes. After the meeting, Tang Chu was silent for a long time, and she didn''t come back to herself until Lan Shu called her. "There will be a Chamber of Commerce dinner later, I will ask the driver to pick up Xiao Qingning and Junjun later?" Business dinners are usually attended by couples. At most, the older ones will bring their own children of the right age to marry, which may lead to a good relationship. There is almost no such thing as Lan Shu who takes children to participate. But as the vice president of the chamber of commerce, Lan Shu is going to take care of the child, so who can say what? When Tang Chu heard Lan Shu say this, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Tang Chu knew that without Lan Shu, whether it was the year-end meeting of the Chamber of Commerce or the business dinner, these would be very far away for her. Lan Shu is willing to give her this opportunity, and she will cherish it. So when it was time for the dinner, Tang Chu followed Lan Shu, watching Lan Shu being adored by countless business bosses at the dinner. Xiao Qingning, on the other hand, took it for granted, and took Junjun calmly throughout the whole process, going to the side to help himself with some snacks he wanted, as long as he was full. Beside the two of them, the nanny Lin Ting followed every step of the way to ensure the safety of the children. This day, for Lan Shu, is to participate in the activities of the chamber of commerce. For Tang Chu, it was a day for her to realize her blockage and backwardness, and to rekindle her dream of a workplace. But she still has to take care of Junjun, which makes Tang Chu face a difficult situation. She will never hesitate to choose between her son and work, and the balance in her heart is steadily tilting towards her handsome. Lan Shu brought her here, but she didn''t mean to let her immediately choose to enter the workplace. When she went back to sit in the car at night, Lan Shu saw that Tang Chu''s heart for the workplace and career was still there. So she said, "Let Junjun go to elementary school in the second half of next year." Judging from Junjun¡¯s current recovery, he is no longer afraid of people, and he is no longer timid when he sees people. In another six months, Junjun''s condition will only get better. So Junjun, who is more than six years old and almost seven years old, will go to elementary school, so there should be no problem. Tang Chu understood what Lan Shu meant. After the child goes to school, maybe she will be able to spare time and return to the workplace. But Tang Chu didn''t make a decision immediately, but looked down at his son beside him. Junjun heard his aunt tell him to let him learn, of course he is willing! Cousin Qingning went to school and learned a lot! My little cousin can count and read, and can read stories by herself with a storybook¡ª Junjun also wants to read and read! So Junjun raised his hand and demanded, "I want to go to school!" It''s a pity that even if he wants to go to school, he has to wait half a year. When Tang Chu heard her son''s words, her wavering heart finally stabilized this time. "Okay, Junjun will go to school next year." Tang Chu said, looked at his son, and nodded slightly. "If Junjun wants to go to school early, he can go to kindergarten for the first half of the year to adapt to collective life." Lan Shu looked at her eldest nephew and said gently. "Okay! I''m going to kindergarten! I want to be in the same kindergarten as Dabao!" Junjun asked proactively. At this time, Meng Dabao didn''t know that his good friend would meet him in the same kindergarten next year. However, Meng Dabao, who has been in kindergarten for two years, is only in middle class. While Junjun goes to kindergarten, he can directly enter the big class for half a year. Fortunately, Meng Dabao is a single-minded little fool, otherwise he wouldn''t know what to worry about~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 455: Across the ages Chapter 455 Cross-generation Today is New Year''s Eve. After tonight, we will bid farewell to the 1980s and enter the 90s. Lanshu and Xiaobai brought their parents, grandpa and grandma to their home early in the morning. Xiaobai''s grandmother, Mrs. Lin, was taken to Kyoto by car the day before yesterday, and now lives in a room on the first floor of the east wing of the house. The family had a lively meal at noon, and in the evening, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also came here. On this special New Year¡¯s Eve day, Mr. Wei proposed some time ago that on the first day of the new year, the beginning of a new era, everyone should go to the central square to watch the national flag being raised. Lanshu and Xiaobai live relatively close to the center of Kyoto, so the family lives here tonight, and they can walk to the place where the national flag is raised tomorrow morning. It was the first time for Xiao Qingning to see her grandparents, grandparents, and all the elders in the family gathered together. The lively atmosphere made her very happy, so she took the initiative to perform the piano she learned in front of the elders of the family. Xiao Qingning started learning the piano when she was three years old and three or four months old, and it has been three and a half years now. Although she is not very old, she already plays the piano very well. Just like that, everyone gathered together to celebrate the new year. Before dawn the next day, they got up to clean up and went out to pay tribute to the moment when the national flag was raised. Today, Lan, Gu, and Wei have the same feelings. There are not a few people who came to the central square to watch the national flag being raised. Among the crowd, Lan Shu also saw a large family of the Meng family. But because they were a little far away and there were people in the middle, they didn''t go over to say hello to the Meng family. Waiting for the time to pass by a little bit, when the sky is lit up with white light, the red flag is rising. And thus came the first day of the nineties¡ª At this moment, Xiao Qingning was sitting on her father''s shoulder, looking up at the red flag flying in the distance. After she entered elementary school, she heard the meaning of the red flag from the teacher on the first day. At this moment, she seemed to understand more clearly the meaning behind the raising of the red flag. Although she is still young, in her young body, some blood has already been stirred up! ¡­ The same day, in Haicheng. To Gu Cheng, this year was dull, tasteless, and even somewhat resentful! During the past year, the business of his real estate company was very different from his original plan! Langu Group''s real estate company Haicheng Branch has seized more than 60% of the large real estate in Haicheng, and the remaining 40% of the real estate development, for Gu Cheng, there are quite a lot of competitors. Even if he finally took over the development authority of one of the real estate projects, he still paid a lot of money. These costs include the consumption of contacts and the extreme squeeze of profits. In short, even if he works on this real estate all year round, he won''t be able to make much money. Thinking that he invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into the company last year, at the end of the year, he only earned less than 100,000 yuan for the whole year, excluding manual settlement. This made Gu Cheng even doubt life. When did I become such a waste in doing business? Is this me still the genius in the business world that was once called in the mall? Because the profit margin is too small, besides Gu Cheng, Xu Yunjie is also quite dissatisfied with the development of the real estate company this year! He worked hard and diligently throughout the year, and he didn''t even have time to find a wife who was well-matched. He spent all his youth in it, and ended up getting six thousand dollars? An average of 500 yuan a month, Gu Cheng is begging for food~? ! Xu Yunjie was quite angry about this. I am the deputy manager of the company! The salary of the deputy manager is 500 yuan a month? If this is the case, why should he follow Gu Chengqian? Xu Yunjie wanted to do it alone because Gu Cheng was unwilling to give him the company shares. It''s just that he was under the pressure of those ruthless people under Gu Cheng, and he was afraid that if he came out to work on the project, he would be secretly disturbed by others. But now, if he follows Gu Cheng again, the money he earns throughout the year will barely cover the expenses of a little lover by his side! Besides, he has three lovers~! So after thinking about it, Xu Yunjie decided that he would leave Gu Cheng''s company¡ª Even if he can''t survive in Haicheng''s construction industry, can''t he go to other cities? Hearing that there are many opportunities in Shencheng, Xu Yunjie plans to give it a try. At this time, Xu Yunjie didn''t know that Shencheng was an opportunity for others, but not necessarily for him. Because the current development of Shencheng has a lot to do with Lanshu''s large investment. In Shencheng, Lan Shu has countless invisible contacts! As long as Lan Shu is around, as long as Lan Shu doesn''t give him a chance, then his business will only have one result¡ªcold and no one cares about him. ¡­ Compared with the 1980s, the economy in the 1990s has improved qualitatively. At the beginning of the year, the wages of workers in various factories and enterprises rose one after another. The wages of ordinary workers rose from about 80 yuan before to generally more than 100 yuan. The salaries of technical talents and key employees range from more than 100 to even more than 200. As far as Langu Group is concerned, let alone the managers of various departments, they are just ordinary architects in the real estate department, with an average monthly salary of around 300. The salary of Zuo Guan, the chief designer, even reached a monthly salary of over 600! The development of Langu Group is getting better every day, and getting stronger every year. In addition, the group also has a preferential policy for employees to buy houses. As long as they have worked for three years, they can enjoy the internal price of the employees'' real estate. The house price is only about 80% of the market price. As soon as the new employee benefits of Langu Group came out, the jobs of the entire group''s internal personnel became a hotly available existence. Everyone who enters the Blue-Guard Group is the envy of other factories and company employees. What''s more, when some single employees in the group go out on a blind date, as long as they mention his/her workplace, the success rate of the blind date will be greatly improved! While the happiness of the employees of the group has greatly increased, the value they create for the group is also absolutely proportional. For example, from the early 1980s to the current film and television department. Today, the operation and development of the film and television department are quite mature, and dozens of well-known artists have been trained under the department. The fame of these artists can be said to be well known. The movies and TV series they have participated in have been filmed for many years, and they have been broadcast on TV in a loop, and the popularity is high. With their rise, the development of Hong Kong City''s film and television industry, which should have been dominated by one, is now more than half of the market share being seized by the contracted artists of the film and television department of Langu Group. Some of these artists are even more famous than those in Hong Kong City. (end of this chapter) Chapter 456: leave tomorrow Chapter 456 Let¡¯s go tomorrow At the beginning of the new year, Lan Shu also plans to prepare a talent show variety show that will give ordinary amateurs a chance to become a star. This program will first start with singing and dancing, with the purpose of creating the earliest idol group in China. If the audience of the program is high, once the idol group is successfully combined, it will become popular even earlier than Japanese and Korean idols. Lan Shu knows that there are many excellent talents in China, but they just lack the opportunity to show their talents. Chinese people can launch their own idols, there is no need to chase foreign idols. ¡­ When Lan Shu made suggestions for the future of the group and watched the group develop steadily. Kyoto, Lan Xinya''s small clothing store, although the business was good a year ago, she was busy selling a lot of goods. In the month of the end of the year alone, Lan Xinya earned more than 400 yuan! But after the new year, people''s demand for clothes has greatly decreased. Lan Xinya still has some winter clothes that haven''t been cleared out, and they must be cleared out before the season changes, so as not to overwhelm the stock. In order to sell the goods as soon as possible, she started to reduce the price again, and she sold at a guaranteed price, or even at a small loss. Seeing that the money she earned was about to be lost, Lan Xinya felt distressed. In the past few days, Lan Xinya''s mood can definitely be described as terrible! But one morning, she heard Chang Chunfang say again, "Xinya, I''ve run out of money for grocery shopping..." Lan Xinya''s anger suddenly soared! "Ask for money, ask for money, what else do you do besides asking for money? Come to live in my house, you just bring a little money, what is it enough for?" "If you don''t have money, you can ask your man, or go back to your own home! Do I owe you? I listen to you asking for money in my ear!" Lan Xinya yelled at Chang Chunfang almost uncontrollably. Speaking of which, Chang Chunfang was able to live with Lan Xinya for two full months, and celebrate the New Year with Lan Xinya, she showed a lot of perseverance! But being able to last until now is almost Chang Chunfang''s limit. Hearing her own daughter''s dissatisfaction and complaints towards her, Chang Chunfang only felt aggrieved. In the past two months, she put all her heart and soul into cooking delicious food for her daughter, and every meal was filled with Xinya''s favorite fish and meat. Later she ran out of money, and after asking Xinya twice, Xinya thought she spent too much money, so she gave her ten yuan the second time. So she had no choice but to change the recipe. Although the meals for Xinya would also contain meat every day, it was not the case that it was almost all meat. In this way, Xinya gave her money again, and it changed from ten yuan to five yuan. Even so, she can use five yuan for many days. But no matter how much she saves to spend, Xinya gives too little at a time, and there will always be a time when she runs out of money. In the past two months, except for the first half month when she spent her own money, Xinya never gave her more than fifty yuan in the next one and a half months! It also brought with it that during the Chinese New Year, she wanted to let her daughter eat something good, so she bought more meat. The result is that there is no money left in the hands. Chang Chunfang is absolutely sincere towards her biological daughter! During this time, she could also see that her biological daughter did not return her sincerity. She thought it was because she and Xinya spent too little time together. After her daughter felt the affection and motherly love from herself, she would definitely change her attitude towards herself. But in the past two months, not only did she fail to influence her daughter, but she saw her own daughter''s attitude towards her getting worse and worse. To this day, listening to Xinya''s boredom and dislike for her, Chang Chunfang felt that her devotion was simply wishful thinking! Being disgusted by her own daughter, even her own daughter felt that she was a drag, Chang Chunfang couldn''t bear it anymore, and tears fell down. Seeing her crying, Lan Xinya frowned even more. "Who are you showing this picture to?" She said, seeing that Chang Chunfang didn''t intend to stop, Lan Xinya became even more irritable! "You can leave tomorrow! You have so many sons and daughters, and you have lived with me for two months, why should you leave?" As Lan Xinya spoke, she still felt annoyed! As long as Chang Chunfang can ask Lan Shengli for some money, she will not open her mouth to push him away. But Lan Xinya could see that, since Chang Chunfang had given her more than 4,000 yuan two years ago, Lan Shengli had been wary of herself, and never asked Chang Chunfang to give her money again. This time Chang Chunfang came to live with her. Although Lan Shengli gave a thousand dollars, he didn''t say that he was worried about how long Chang Chunfang would live in her house. In case Chang Chunfang wants to live in her own home for a year or two, how can the one thousand yuan be enough? What''s more, this time may be even longer! Lan Xinya didn''t know Lan Shengli''s plan, she was afraid that Chang Chunfang, her own mother, would rely on her in the future and let her take care of her in the old age. That''s why she was in a hurry to let people go. It''s not that Lan Xinya thinks too much, but that she thinks she sees it very clearly. Although Chang Chunfang has three sons, the eldest and the second are both married, and the third will always marry one day. It can be seen from the fact that the couple of the Lan family do not live with their sons, the sons of the Lan family have a daughter-in-law and forget their parents. It is hard to say whether they will support their parents in the future. Maybe Chang Chunfang moved here to test herself just because she saw that she was divorced and lived alone? In case I let her stay and live, maybe that father of the Lan family will also come to live in the future! She will not let these troubles get on her! It is a once-and-for-all solution to drive people out now and get rid of the relationship as soon as possible. Opposite, Lan Xinya has already said so, what reason does Chang Chunfang have to stay so shamelessly? The tears in her eyes were like beads with a broken thread, falling faster¡ª Seeing Xinya looking at her with more and more bored eyes, Chang Chunfang wiped her tears with the back of her hand. She endured the grievance in her heart and the choking of her voice, and tried to keep calm and said, "I will leave." When she heard that she would leave, Lan Xinya breathed a sigh of relief. But she was still a little worried. "When are you leaving?" she asked. Chang Chunfang thought Lan Xinya asked this question, did she want to give herself away when the time came? If that''s the case, her biological daughter still cares about herself as a mother... But soon, Chang Chunfang''s beautiful fantasy was shattered by Lan Xinya herself! "In short, you go as soon as possible, the ticket... Forget it, as long as you go, I will spend a little more money to buy you a ticket." Hearing that Lan Xinya couldn''t wait to let her go, and she was still struggling to bear the price of a ticket when it happened, Chang Chunfang completely gave up¡ª She closed her eyes and no longer shed tears. She was blocked in her heart, and sighed deeply, then opened her eyes and looked at Lan Xinya. "I''m leaving tomorrow, I don''t need a ticket." Chang Chunfang was completely disappointed with this biological daughter in front of her. I am not someone who is short of the fare money, so why should Lan Xinya reluctantly give me a few dollars at the end of the day? (end of this chapter) Chapter 457: not fantasizing Chapter 457 is no longer fantasy When Lan Xinya heard that she didn''t need to buy a ticket for Chang Chunfang, it would save money~ But after thinking about it, Chang Chunfang said ''no need'', could it be... "You lied to me when you said you had no money?" Lan Xinya slightly widened her eyes. Okay~! Chang Chunfang even secretly hid the food she bought for herself, and asked herself for money! Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, and seeing Lan Xinya looking at her like she was guarding against a thief, Chang Chunfang''s heart was only disappointed with her own daughter, but now she feels cold and aching. In the heart of my biological daughter, is this the kind of person I am? She smiled bitterly, the smile was uglier than crying. Chang Chunfang shook her head slowly, feeling a sense of desolation in her heart. She looked up at Lan Xinya, opened her mouth, and said, "I didn''t lie to you." Seeing that Chang Chunfang didn''t seem to be lying, Lan Xinya frowned slightly, and then she suddenly remembered that Chang Chunfang still had a daughter in the capital. Immediately, Lan Xinya understood where Chang Chunfang would go after leaving tomorrow. But Lan Xinya''s guess was wrong. Chang Chunfang promised her old man that she would not tell Shu Shu about her coming to the capital this time, and she would not. And she stayed in Kyoto for two months, serving her own daughter for two months, but she didn''t take a look at her other daughter. Now that I have something to do, I ran to Shushu for help. Chang Chunfang felt that she didn''t have that face! So she won''t go to Shushu and cry, just to ask for a ticket to go back. Fortunately, she still has a son in Kyoto... Although Chang Chunfang has never been to the place where her third son works, she knows the name of his work unit, so she can find him. ¡­ That day, after Lan Xinya left home to go to the store, Chang Chunfang didn''t stay much. At first she said she would wait until the next day before leaving, but now she can''t stay any longer~! She packed her luggage directly, put the key on the table in the house, locked the door and left. Two months ago, when Chang Chunfang came, she brought two big bags, one of which contained clothes, and the other contained pickles, salted duck eggs, and other food for Xinya. And when she left, she was carrying a bag, looking a little lonely and pitiful. Chang Chunfang lived in Kyoto for two months. Her biological daughter sells clothes, but she never thought of giving her, a mother, a dress for the New Year. Before, Chang Chunfang devoted herself to her daughter without thinking about it at all. But now, when she left, she seemed to see everything clearly in an instant. Understood that her biological daughter had never taken her seriously! ¡­ On that day, Chang Chunfang asked people for directions all the way, walking from near the Huamei Shopping Center to the gate of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the suburbs of Beijing. Even if she lived in the countryside for decades, her health is much better than that of people in the city, and she is not afraid to travel long distances. Carrying luggage, walking down for several hours, without food or drink for dozens of miles, also made Chang Chunfang extremely exhausted and dizzy. Fortunately, she arrived at the place and reported her son''s name, and it didn''t take long for her third child to come out of the work unit. The moment Chang Chunfang saw her son, Chang Chunfang''s grievances in the past two months, and the tenacity of gritted teeth to keep going this day, all broke the bank in this instant! She let go of her hands, and her luggage fell at her feet. She was so old that she cried like a child and threw herself into her son''s arms. "Sibo, I was wrong! I shouldn''t be holding illusions in my heart..." Although Lan Sibo didn''t know what his mother''s words meant, he knew that his mother was very sad at the moment. It wasn''t until Chang Chunfang finished crying that Lan Sibo knew from his mother''s intermittent crying that his mother had been in the capital for the past two months! No wonder his father specially called him during the Chinese New Year a few days ago, saying that if he was too busy this year, he wouldn¡¯t have to go back for the Chinese New Year. On the phone, his father also mentioned by the way that his eldest brother, second brother, and his younger sister will not go back this year. Lan Sibo thought before that he was really busy recently, so he wouldn''t reply. Now it seems that his father didn''t let the brothers and sisters go back, probably because he was worried that they would find out about their mother and go to the capital to spend the New Year with Lan Xinya! Lan Sibo sighed heavily, although he disapproved of the **** way, but no matter what, it''s good to see the reality clearly now. "Mom, when you go back, live a good life at home with my father. The elder brother, the second brother, and the younger sister have already married and started a career. I also have a stable job. It can be regarded as a successful career. It''s time for you to enjoy yourself." Finally, Lan Sibo took his mother to find a place to have dinner, and let his mother stay overnight in a nearby guest house. The next day, Lan Sibo asked for leave from the unit and sent Chang Chunfang back to Linjiang City. ¡­ On the other side, after Chang Chunfang left, Lan Xinya was still a little uncomfortable. In the past, when she got up early in the morning and came back from the store at night, she could eat the meals made by Chang Chunfang. But after Chang Chunfang left, she could only eat three meals a day in a small restaurant near the shopping mall. Eating in a small restaurant is just to fill your stomach, and the food you eat is really not as good as the meals specially prepared by someone at home. However, this discomfort only lasted for a few days, and Lan Xinya returned to normal. Because she hadn''t been with her for a long time, she couldn''t really say that she was very familiar with people, even if they were biological parents who were related by blood, she was not happy. She is better off living alone. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. Most importantly, in her heart, no one is allowed to spend her money except her son! Thinking of her son, Lan Xinya realized that she hadn''t seen her son for half a year. She plans to visit her son recently and buy some toys for her son so that she can bond with her son... ¡­ Linjiang City, Lan Family. Lan Shengli received a call from his third son last night, knowing that his wife would return from Kyoto today. My wife was able to stay in Kyoto for two months. To be honest, it was beyond his expectation! Lan Shengli didn''t think it was because of how good their biological daughter Lan Xinya was to his wife, but because of how deep his wife''s maternal love was. Now that my wife is coming back, I think I won''t be so lost in thinking about helping and subsidizing my own daughter who is ruthless to them and only wants to benefit from them. Lan Shengli doesn''t ask for much. His sons and daughters have grown up, and he only hopes that his wife can live a stable life. After another two years, he plans to sell the fried chicken shop, bring his wife back to the village, and live a retired life like the old men and women in the city. The money he has saved now is enough for him and his wife to spend their old age peacefully... ¡­ March ends and April enters, and the temperature gradually warms up. The weather in April in Haicheng is more than 20 degrees, and this time is the best climate for building. Langu Group''s real estate branch has four real estate projects under construction in Haicheng. Two of the real estate projects are relatively large in scale, and two exquisite bungalow residential areas are also under construction in an orderly manner. At the beginning of April, on the construction site of a high-rise building of Langu Group, a worker accidentally fell down during construction, fell downstairs, broke his spine, and was paralyzed at a high position¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 458: Accident suspected Chapter 458 Accident suspicion In this era, high paraplegia is more painful than death! When the family members of the workers received the news and came to Haicheng, the operation was already over. The doctor diagnosed that the worker had no possibility of recovery, and he could only lie down for the rest of his life, eating, drinking, and diarrhoea, and being taken care of in bed. When the family members heard this, they fainted on the spot! Then the next day, the workers¡¯ families raised banners on the construction site and made a fuss¡ª When Lan Shu received the news of the worker''s accident, it was already three days after the worker''s family made a disturbance. Originally, the real estate department under the group wanted to solve the matter by itself, but the family members of the workers involved in the accident insisted and demanded sky-high compensation! In the end, I had no choice but to report the matter. Lan Shu asked the secretary, "How much compensation is the other party asking for?" Was told by the secretary, "They said one million! This is crazy about money!" Speaking of this matter, the secretary felt that the other party''s asking for money was too exaggerated. Accidents happened to construction site workers. Since the reform and opening up, private ownership has been allowed, and the construction industry has gradually risen. Many people work as contractors and build houses for others. No one wants to have an accident in a place like a construction site. But since something happened, there must be compensation. According to the previous compensation situation, most of them were lightly injured, a few hundred to a few thousand dollars at most, and 10,000 to 20,000 to 30,000 to 40,000 were enough for those who were seriously injured and lost the ability to work. Even if the economic situation has improved in the past few years and the wages of workers have risen, which is higher than before, the compensation should also increase accordingly. But based on the other party''s work-related injuries, the maximum is 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, so this matter should be over. But the family members of the other party asked for one million! This is not crazy about money, what else could it be? After hearing what the secretary said, Lan Shu also thought about this matter. It may be normal for the one million compensation to be placed in later generations. But in this day and age, it sounds very problematic! So she called the group''s logistics department and asked for a car to be sent to Haicheng immediately. Ten minutes later, Lan Shu was sitting in the car, and when she was about to leave, she saw Xiao Bai driving a car and parked next to the car she was sitting in. "Let''s go together." Xiaobai also received the message and learned about it. He was worried that his daughter-in-law would go to Haicheng alone, so he temporarily put aside the things at hand and planned to accompany her throughout the journey. Lan Shu knew that Xiao Bai was worried about her. And she was actually a little wary of Gu Cheng who is now in Haicheng, so Lan Shu nodded, "Get in the car." So, originally, Lan Shu went to handle things alone, but it turned out that she and Xiao Bai were together. Along the way, the drivers, Master Wang and Xiaobai, drove alternately. That night, the three of them arrived in Haicheng¡ª ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to the hospital early in the morning to visit the workers involved in the accident. At first, they thought they could see the family members of the workers, but when they arrived, they found that the workers were lying on the hospital bed by themselves, and there was no one around them. After questioning the nurses at the hospital, the two were told that the workers'' family members had not been to the hospital since the first night to check on the situation, and hadn''t been here since the morning of the second day. Lan Shu can understand the family members'' eagerness to find the responsible party to take responsibility after the accident, but no matter how anxious they are, they can''t leave no one behind to take care of the injured, right? Because the worker in the accident fell asleep under anesthesia, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai could only leave, planning to go to the construction site to see if they could see the worker''s family members. The driver drove the car to the vicinity of the construction site. The surrounding roads were not easy to walk because of the previous construction, and the two had to get out of the car and walk for a while. Before going far, Lan Shu saw the white banner pulled up in front of the gate of the construction site. The banner was held by two elderly people in their fifties and sixties, a man and a woman, with a few black words written on it¡ªblack heart project, harming people and losing money! Beside the two of them, there was a young man in his twenties who looked slightly fat, and he was shouting hard, "The black heart project caused my elder brother to lie in bed and ruin his life. Lose money, lose money!" Aside, the leader of the Haicheng branch of the real estate company kept persuading, but the fat young man didn''t listen at all! "The way my elder brother looks like, he will be served by others in this life, don''t think about it if he doesn''t have a million!" Seeing this, Lan Shu frowned slightly. At first, she wanted to go forward and talk to the families of the workers involved in the accident about compensation. One million is impossible, within a reasonable price range, she can accept it. But now, she found that the other party might not want to demand compensation from them, but deliberately caused trouble? Although the other party is a family member of the worker involved in the accident, and I shouldn''t think so, the attitudes of these family members seem really abnormal. And it remains to be verified whether they are family members. Lan Shu didn''t believe that the family members would leave their loved ones in the hospital and leave them alone. So she took out her mobile phone and called the branch office to ask someone to investigate the family background of the workers involved in the accident and determine whether the identities of these family members were true. After hanging up the phone, she and Xiaobai returned to the car, waiting patiently for the result of the news. Fortunately, when the worker who had the accident was sent to the hospital, the leader of the branch called the foreman who was leading the workers to ask about the situation. So the branch office already has some information about the workers involved in the accident. The worker involved in the accident is named Li Shan. He is thirty-six years old this year. He is married and has a ten-year-old daughter. Li Shan came out of a remote mountain village to work outside. His parents are still alive and he has a younger brother. The family members who made the disturbance were indeed Li Shan¡¯s relatives, but for some unknown reason, Li Shan¡¯s wife and daughter did not come. After hearing the news, Lan Shu asked the branch office to immediately send someone to Li Shan''s village to pick up his wife. As for Li Shan''s daughter, considering that the family may not want the children to know these things, they may have concealed them. So Lan Shu specifically explained that if Li Shan''s wife didn''t want her daughter to know that her father had an accident, then when they brought Li Shan''s wife here, they had to settle the child first. After explaining this, Lan Shu asked Master Wang to drive to the branch first. At the same time, she also called the foreman who took Li Shan on the construction site, and the workers who had a close relationship with Li Shan on weekdays, to go to the company for questioning. Listening to Lan Shu''s arrangements on the phone, Xiao Bai seemed to understand something. "Are you suspecting that there is something inside Li Shan''s accident?" Xiaobai asked. Lan Shu shook her head, "Just in case." As she spoke, she breathed a sigh of relief again. "It''s better if there is no inside information. If there is inside information, then you must not let the criminals just like this!" She said seriously. Next, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai met with Li Shan''s foreman and fellow workers before noon, and asked about Li Shan''s injury before and after. (end of this chapter) Chapter 459: Can you pay 30,000 yuan? Chapter 459 Can you pay 30,000 yuan? According to the foreman, Li Shan was building walls on the fifth floor that day. A steel pipe frame was built on the outside of the building, and bamboo rafts were laid on it. But when Li Shan fell, he didn''t have a safety rope on his body, which shows that he didn''t follow the construction requirements. "Before Li Shan fell, were there other workers around?" Lan Shu asked. "He has two companions working with him," replied the foreman. Then he pointed to a short, twenty-something young man next to him, and said, "Zhang Si was staying with Li Shan at that time." Lan Shu already knew before that Zhang Si came from the same village as Li Shan, so the situation of Li Shan''s family and the confirmation of Li Shan''s relatives were all learned through Zhang Si. Hearing that his name was called, Zhang Si immediately stood up and said, "I was on the fifth floor when Li Shan fell, about five or six meters away from Li Shan, and there was another worker, Niu Xiao, who was with Li Shan at the station. Closer." Zhang Si said while recalling. "I remember Niu Xiao said that it is not easy to work with a safety rope, so Niu Xiao himself did not tie a safety rope when he was working. Li Shan must have seen that Niu Xiao did not tie it, so he followed the example of Niu Xiao. Xiao is being lazy." Hearing this, Lan Shu already roughly understood the reason why the worker fell from the building. "Where is Niu Xiaoren?" Aside, Xiao Bai asked the foreman. But he was told, "Niu Xiao was frightened after Li Shan fell from the building. He thought it was too dangerous to work here, so he left the construction site." "Leaving?" Xiaobai frowned slightly, and asked again, "How long has that Niu Xiao been at the construction site? Do you know where he is from?" "Niu Xiao didn''t stay at the construction site for long, just over a month. He came here a few years ago." The foreman said. "He also seems to be from a rural area. When he first came, the clothes he wore were patched. It looks like he came from a poor family." Besides, the foreman is not too clear about the specific origin of Niu Xiao. Hearing this, Xiaobai and Lanshu looked at each other tacitly. A sentence popped up in each other¡¯s hearts¡ª¡ª Niu Xiao may have a problem! So the next step, apart from waiting for the immediate family members of Li Shan, the worker involved in the accident, is to find that Niu Xiao! Finding someone depends on the law enforcement team. So after Xiaobai asked Zhang Si about Niu Xiao''s age, height, appearance and other basic characteristics, he left immediately and went to the Haicheng Law Enforcement Team to file a case to find someone. Lan Shu stayed in the company, continued to learn about Li Shan''s family background with Zhang Si, and waited for Xiao Bai to come back. On the other side, the car sent by the branch to pick up Li Shan''s wife in Li Shan''s hometown has already set off. If the drive is fast, Li Shan''s daughter-in-law will be able to arrive in Haicheng around noon tomorrow¡ª ¡­ The next morning, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to the hospital again. Li Shan, who was injured on the construction site this time, did not fall asleep. After Li Shan learned a few days ago that he would lie in bed and become a useless person for the rest of his life, he was depressed and despaired of life. In the past few days, he was lying in the hospital by himself, without a relative to take care of him. Suddenly, two people came and said they were the person in charge of the real estate company. This made Li Shan a little emotional. Although Li Shan has a broken spine and high paraplegia, he is still clear-headed and has the ability to speak. Hearing that the owner of the real estate company said that he would be compensated, Li Shan suppressed his grief and said, "My life is over, but my daughter-in-law and daughter still have to live. I want money for their mother and daughter, so that they can live in peace. live." Hearing Li Shan''s request, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai looked at each other silently. Li Shan only thinks about his wife and daughter, but now the situation outside is that Li Shan''s parents and younger brother are causing trouble on the construction site, and the lion is asking the company for money. Besides, Xiaobai tried to ask, "Your parents and younger brother came to Haicheng, do you know about this?" "They''re here? Where are they?" Li Shan was slightly taken aback. At this moment, it is not difficult to see from his expression that he knows nothing about the arrival of relatives at home. Xiaobai did not answer Li Shan''s question immediately, but asked again, "Do you have any thoughts on the amount of compensation?" This question stumped Li Shan immediately! He didn''t know how much money was appropriate, and the reason why he fell from a height was because he was careless and didn''t tie a safety rope on his body. In such a situation, the real estate company is still willing to take care of him and pay him money. He is very grateful to Dade. As for the compensation, Li Shan thought about it, and then tried to ask, "Can you give me 30,000?" Thirty thousand yuan should be enough for his wife to raise his daughter, and enough for him to have food for the next few days. Even if there are more, you can add a dowry to your daughter in the future... In Li Shan''s heart, his disability has become a fact, so it is useless for him to be sad now, he might as well cheer up and try to get as much money as possible, so that in the future, if he has money, he can have someone to rely on. After hearing Li Shan''s words, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai got to know Li Shan better. Li Shan is a simple-minded migrant worker. He cares about his wife and daughter very much. Such a person seems to be completely different from his relatives who came to Haicheng to make trouble! As for Li Shan''s work-related injury compensation, he must be compensated, but there is another thing that Lan Shu is very concerned about. So she asked, "Li Shan, how did you fall from upstairs?" Even if Li Shan''s sad incident is brought up, it may make Li Shan feel painful, but this matter is related to whether Li Shan''s fall and paralysis was accidental or man-made, we must find out! When asked this question, Li Shan was slightly taken aback¡ª He thought about it, and then the expression on his face changed. Seeing his hesitation about the answer of falling from the building, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai already guessed that the situation might not be that simple. Then they heard Li Shan say, "I don''t know how I fell. The bamboo raft I stepped on was good, but I just turned around to fill a bucket of ashes. When I stepped on it again, it suddenly emptied. fell down..." The ''ash'' mentioned by Li Shan is reconciled cement, which is used to build walls. As for the falling situation he described, if he didn''t make a mistake himself, it must be due to man-made reasons! It''s a pity that there is no camera on the construction site, otherwise it would be clear at a glance. It seems that if we want to investigate this matter clearly, we must find Niu Xiao who was relatively close to Lishan Station. As for the compensation issue that Li Shan is most concerned about at the moment, Xiaobai also gave him an answer before leaving. "Based on work-related injuries, the company''s compensation in your case will definitely not be less than 30,000 yuan. As for the specifics, it will have to be calculated according to formal procedures." Aside, Lan Shu also said, "You should take a good rest during this time, don''t worry about other things, don''t worry, since you are working for our company, if something happens, our company will definitely not ignore you." Lan Shu''s words finally reassured Li Shan. (end of this chapter) Chapter 460: terrible Chapter 460 Terrible When I came out of the hospital, it was almost noon. Lanshu and Xiaobai went to a nearby small restaurant to eat casually. At around two o''clock in the afternoon, they received a call from the branch office, saying that the family members of Li Shan, the worker involved in the accident, had received it. The driver picked up not only Li Shan''s daughter-in-law, but also Li Shan''s ten-year-old daughter. When Lan Shu saw Li Shan''s wife and daughter, the eye circles of both of them were red, it was obvious that they had cried not long ago. Especially Li Shan''s daughter, her eyes were swollen from crying. At this time, Lan Shu didn''t have much to say, but asked the driver to take him to the hospital first. I think what Li Shan''s wife and daughter want to do most at this time should be to meet their man and father. After the family of three met and cried for a while, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai brought up the issue of work-related injuries and compensation. "You still need to stay in the hospital for a period of time because of your physical condition. Don''t worry, our company will settle the medical expenses incurred during the hospitalization on time." "As for the compensation, it may take a while, and the amount of compensation has to be calculated." Lan Shu and Xiao Bai did not tell Li Shan and his wife that there might be other reasons for Li Shan''s fall. Wait for the facts to be clarified, and it will not be too late when there are results. Hearing what the boss of the real estate company said, Li Shan''s daughter-in-law finally felt relieved. Before she came, what she was most worried about was that something happened to her man and no one would care. If there is no money to see a doctor, she can''t even imagine whether a person with a broken spine can live¡ª So no matter how much compensation there will be in the future, at least her man can live now, and she is already thankful! ¡­ Different from the honest duty of the three members of Li Shan''s family, on the other side, at the gate of the construction site, Li Shan''s parents and younger brother are still holding up banners every day to ask for money. For the real estate company, this is definitely something that will damage the company''s reputation, and even affect the future real estate sales! But the person in charge of the company couldn''t persuade him to leave. But this situation didn''t last long. After Li Shan''s wife and daughter were taken to Haicheng and they went to the hospital, Lan Shu asked the branch to call the police directly, so that the law enforcement team would affect the normal operation of their construction site. Take away the troublemakers who started work! Because the other party had been arguing at the gate of the construction site for several days, the situation was so bad that it could be temporarily detained. Even if they are relatives of the workers involved in the accident, claiming millions of dollars has already constituted blackmail! On the law enforcement team, Xiaobai also had clues to the tracing case he applied for a few days ago. Where Niu Xiao was born, I haven''t found out yet, but his appearance and characteristics, some law enforcement members expressed their impression of this person! After two days of investigation, the law enforcement team finally found Niu Xiao when they were patrolling a disco at night. Then it was found out that Niu Xiao had worked on other construction sites two years ago, and it turned out that not long after he had been there, a worker had an accident on the construction site and broke his leg. The occurrence of similar cases almost indicates that Li Shan''s fall from a building and his paralysis have become difficult. When Li Shan''s parents and younger brother were detained and came out, the three of them still wanted to go to the construction site to make trouble, but they were told that their son/brother might not have fallen accidentally. So until the matter is clarified, the ownership of the responsible party is still uncertain. If they go to the construction site to make trouble, they will be brought back soon and continue to be detained. Upon hearing the news, Li Shan''s parents were furious. Someone harmed their son, they will never let it go! Only Li Shan''s younger brother was worried about one thing after he was stunned¡ª¡ª "Dad, Mom, if the elder brother''s paralysis was not caused by an accident on the construction site, but was killed by others, then who should we go to for compensation?!" The purpose of their trouble is to get huge compensation. Now I am told that maybe the real estate company does not need to be responsible? What about compensation? ! This question was brought up by Li Shan''s younger brother Li Yan. Li Shan''s parents heard this, and their emotions were about to collapse in an instant! "How can I do without money~? Without money, isn''t this killing my son?!" The two of them didn''t say that apart from their eldest son''s life, they also took their whole family''s life. In their family, the eldest son came out to work alone to earn money. If the eldest son can''t work in the future, how can they survive? ! As for their eldest son who will be paralyzed in bed in the future and need to be taken care of, neither of them thought about it. Because in their hearts, the eldest son is paralyzed, and it is only natural for the daughter-in-law to serve him! While the two were standing in front of the law enforcement team and howling, the youngest son Li Yan at the side suddenly thought of something¡ª So he quietly left his parents behind, left alone, and went looking for someone in a certain direction... ¡­ Chengfeng Real Estate Company at this time, in the general manager''s office. Gu Cheng didn''t expect that his tried and tested arrangement would go wrong this time! In the past, he relied on this method to get people to enter the construction sites that Xu Yunjie contracted to cause troubles, and in the end Xu Yunjie had to choose to submit to himself and work for him. But now, since he received a call last night and learned that Niu Xiao was taken away by the law enforcement team, he realized that the situation was not good! Today, according to a friend of his who works in the law enforcement team, Niu Xiao has already confessed some things, including that he used the same method two years ago to force a certain private engineering team to fail. The news made Gu Cheng feel nervous. Immediately afterwards, he received another call from someone under his command. What came over the phone was a worse situation¡ª Before, he arranged for someone to pass the news of Li Shan''s accident on the construction site back to Lijia Village, and then he specially picked up Li Shan''s family members to Haicheng. The subordinate responsible for contacting Li Shan¡¯s family, helping them find a place to live, and encouraging them to pull banners in front of the construction site¡ªLiang Peng, was approached by Li Shan¡¯s younger brother Li Yan today! Li Yan insisted that his brother''s paralysis must be caused by Liang Peng! Otherwise, Liang Peng would not have taken them all the way, and would have been eager to help. In the end, he even promised that if they go to the construction site to cause trouble, they have been procrastinating against accepting the compensation offered by the real estate company. In addition to getting more compensation in the future, Liang Peng will give Li Yan another five thousand dollars. It was also because of the 5,000 yuan that Li Yan persuaded his parents to go to the gate of the construction site where his elder brother had an accident every day to "perform" with them. So after Li Yan learned that his elder brother''s situation was caused by someone, he decided that Liang Peng, the person who encouraged them to make trouble, was the culprit! However, Li Yan ignored it. People who dare to kill people are not good. He went, it was like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger! So when Gu Cheng received the call and heard the report from his subordinates, Li Yan had already been forcibly detained by Liang Peng¡ª Liang Peng wanted to ask him for instructions on what to do next. (end of this chapter) Chapter 461: right to compensation Chapter 461 Indemnity Acquisition Rights How did Gu Cheng know what to do next? ! He only knows that if this matter is not handled properly, he will be implicated! So on the phone, Gu Cheng said to Liang Peng, "I''ll give you some money, you leave Haicheng first, the farther you go, the better, if you want to go abroad, you can." What Gu Cheng can do now is spend money recklessly to make things happen. He wants the law enforcement team to stop the investigation from Liang Peng, and then nothing can be found¡ª Hearing what his boss said, Liang Peng also realized the seriousness of the matter. He knew that if he didn''t leave, once he was found out, he would have to go in and squat for a few more years. Now the boss is willing to give money, just to let him recite this matter, so he can also get some benefits from it. So Liang Peng agreed, "Boss, there are old and young in my hometown, you know..." "I''ll give you 10,000 first, and after you leave, I''ll transfer you 20,000 after I''m sure it''s safe." Thirty thousand yuan is not a small amount, and Liang Peng is very satisfied with this price. This is also the reason why Liang Peng was willing to come all the way to Haicheng after he came out from the inside, and follow Boss Gu to work under him. He knows that Boss Gu is a straightforward person, he is not stingy, and every time he asks him to do something, he will give him a price that satisfies him. On the same day, Liang Peng left Haicheng and went to Shencheng. The boss told him that it is best to go out and hide for a while to be on the safe side. Liang Peng didn''t dare not listen to the boss''s words, so he planned to find a way to go to Hong Kong City and then go abroad. After Liang Peng left, in Haicheng, the law enforcement team finally tried Liang Peng through the arrested Niu Xiao. Niu Xiao is just a young man who is under orders to do things. He doesn''t know who is behind Liang Peng. So when the law enforcement team found Liang Peng and arrested him, they only found Li Yan who was detained in Liang Peng''s residence. Why did Li Yan have contact with Liang Peng? After investigating this matter, it was found out that Li Yan brought his parents to make trouble at the gate of the construction site, and it was Liang Peng''s instruction. The clues are connected here. Even though Liang Peng is nowhere to be seen, the context of the matter has been found out. Although Li Shan''s fall from the building was also due to his own failure to abide by the construction regulations of the construction site, at the same time, he was also killed by others. Li Shan¡¯s younger brother Li Yan took his parents to make noise on the construction site, even if he was being used, it was still a form of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. So the three days when the three were detained by the law enforcement team did not suffer at all. Even after finding out the reason now, the three of them have to apologize publicly to the real estate company. But the apology is an apology, and the real estate company still has to pay the injured people work-related compensation. Although Li Yan and his parents no longer insist on asking for millions of compensation, they will not do it if the specific compensation amount is less! Regarding the behavior of the three asking for money, Lan Shu didn''t even have to come forward, and directly asked the branch company to tell Li Yan and his parents that the compensation will be done in a business-like manner and in accordance with the regulations. As for who should pay the compensation, of course it cannot be given to the injured brother. Even parents, in the case of the death of the injured, only have a quarter of the right to compensation. What''s more, the injured are not dead yet, and the money will be saved for future living, so it is impossible to hand it over to them. It was also at this time that Li Yan and his parents knew that their daughter-in-law/sister-in-law had come to Haicheng! In the hospital, the Li family¡¯s parents yelled at their daughter-in-law as usual at home. Li Yan also suggested various ideas from the side, asking his sister-in-law to go to the real estate company to make trouble, so that he could get more compensation. Li Shan''s daughter-in-law, Wang Pan, did not listen to her brother-in-law. She kept silent, but knew in her heart that if the female boss of the real estate company hadn''t brought her to Haicheng, her man''s disability compensation would never have been in her hands in the end! What''s going on in the family? Didn''t she know that she married into the Li family for more than ten years? So now, she will just patiently wait for the compensation from the real estate company to come down. Regarding this point, the female boss of the real estate company said it herself. As a wife, she has the right to receive the work-related injury compensation of her husband Li Shan. Li Shan''s parents and younger brother saw that their daughter-in-law/sister-in-law ignored their words, and the three of them were angry! If this wasn''t a hospital, they would probably have started attacking Wang Pan a long time ago! Wang Pan endured the pressure, and finally, two days later, the real estate company received the work-related injury compensation after the nucleic acid was recovered and the funds were allocated. The total amount was more than 47,000 yuan, calculated according to normal work-related injury compensation, and the real estate company did not pursue the problem of Li Shan not following the construction regulations of the construction site and not fastening the safety rope. Otherwise, once the investigation is carried out, half of the responsibility will be on the injured person, and the work-related compensation can only be halved. It was the secretary of the manager of the branch of the real estate company who came to the hospital to send the compensation. Secretary Liu explained clearly the calculation basis for the compensation and the attribution of responsibility for the accident. "According to the existing clues found by the law enforcement team, according to the normal situation, our company actually only needs to bear a small part of the responsibility, but the boss of our head office ordered that this should be compensated according to normal work-related injuries, so we only have more than 40,000 yuan. .¡± Secretary Liu felt a little complicated when he said these words. At the beginning, when he heard the boss''s order, he thought the boss was too kind! Sending away tens of thousands of dollars just like this feels a bit taken advantage of. But now that he saw the situation of the injured, Secretary Liu only felt that having such a boss really felt too safe! When Wang Pan heard what the secretary of the real estate company said, she thought of the female boss who had picked her up to Haicheng and even brought someone to the hospital to check on her man''s health. At this moment, Wang Pan was filled with gratitude¡ª ¡­ On the other hand, because Liang Peng is not from Haicheng, he came to Haicheng from other places and stayed for two years. So his whereabouts are not easy to find out. In this era of underdeveloped information, when the law enforcement team finally found out Liang Peng''s whereabouts, he had disappeared without a trace in another city. No one could be found, and the compensation responsibility of the injured could not be fulfilled, so Lan Shu asked the branch company to settle the work-related compensation money to the injured workers first. Lan Shu didn''t do this because she was generous and didn''t take money seriously. But she clearly knows how serious it is for a family that the only pillar of the family loses the ability to work! How much this money means to this home! It is comparable to life-saving money, she must not care about the momentary gains and losses in front of her. Moreover, the victim came for her real estate company. To the injured, this was an unwarranted disaster, so she was even more responsible and gave the injured a penny of the work-related compensation. After dealing with the work-related injury in Haicheng, Lan Shu returned to Kyoto the next day. Because Xiaobai has several jobs now, and another job is in the security system, so he happens to have some jobs and needs to stay in Haicheng for a few more days. (end of this chapter) Chapter 462: Master Wang Chapter 462 Give Master Wang Before Lan Shu left, Xiao Bai sent his daughter-in-law to the car with reluctant eyes. Although the two have been married for eight years, their relationship is as good as ever. Externally, Xiaobai is an expert in medicine, one of the founders of a domestic mobile phone brand, and a major shareholder of Langu Group. The twenty-seven-year-old man has completely faded away from the youthful atmosphere that covered him at the beginning, and has become mature and stable. On weekdays, Xiaobai, dressed in a suit, has a tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist. His overly superior appearance makes him the focus of attention wherever he goes after he becomes an adult. Such a man is fatally attractive to any woman! When Lan Shu is in a daze occasionally, she always thinks that she can know Xiaobai when he was still a minor, and marry him when he just came of age. Thinking about it, it really feels a bit profitable~ What''s even more rare is that Xiaobai''s single-mindedness towards her has never changed for so many years. Looking at the supposedly dignified and prudent man in front of him, he prepared everything for himself to eat and drink on the road, and then seriously told the driver to pay attention to safety on the road. Handsome and considerate, how can such a little white make Lan Shu not love him? Besides that, Xiaobai probably doesn''t even know that he is Lanshu''s longest and closest lover and family member in this world... ¡­ When Lan Shu got into the car and was about to leave Haicheng. Gu Cheng lost Liang Peng as his subordinate, so he couldn''t be reconciled! Gu Cheng knew very well that before this incident, in the past two years, Haicheng night entertainment venues had been severely investigated many times, which affected many of his subordinates. This incident must have something to do with Gu Jue! Gu Cheng even met Gu Jue with his own eyes twice in Haicheng. This is enough to show how often Gu Jue comes to Haicheng! Gu Cheng does not deny that since Gu Jue became an adult, his behavior has become much more mature than before. So much so that Gu Cheng couldn''t find a chance to attack Gu Jue! But Gu Cheng didn''t stop there. He just got the news that Gu Jue seemed to be staying in Haicheng this time and had other things to do, and did not leave with Lan Shu. For Gu Cheng, this is a good opportunity to take revenge on Gu Jue! He made a phone call and went out, explaining to the person on the other side, "Have someone intercept you halfway! You don''t need to kill him, just teach him a lesson." Gu Cheng wants to let his younger brother who is outstanding in everything and regarded as proud by the Gu family know that he is not easy to mess with! Many of the people under Gu Cheng''s hands came out of prisons, had criminal records, and were ruthless and merciless in their actions. Received the boss''s order, Gu Cheng''s subordinates set off immediately¡ª ¡­ Half an hour later, Lan Shu''s car had just left Haicheng. She was covered with a blanket, and when she was about to take a nap, she heard the driver in front of her, Master Wang, say, "Mr. Lan, there seems to be a car chasing us from behind, please sit still." As soon as Master Wang finished speaking, the car that was originally driving smoothly suddenly sped up! ¡ª When Lan Shu heard about it, she stabilized her figure, and then looked out through the rear window. At the back of their car, a gray car with a shabby appearance was following closely behind their car. Master Wang originally saw a car approaching quickly from behind, and he leaned to the right to avoid giving way, but the other party followed their car and leaned to the right, which made Master Wang aware of the abnormality. As Master Wang accelerated the speed of the car, the other party also followed closely. Only then did Master Wang confirm that the car behind them was chasing their car! Seeing this situation, Lan Shu was taken aback. Who will come with her car? Thinking that this is the outskirts of Haicheng, Lan Shu guessed, could it have something to do with Gu Cheng? If it was Gu Cheng, then he might be in danger¡ª Gu Cheng used to be able to kill his own younger brother, so he will not be soft on himself! Thinking of this, Lan Shu first asked Master Wang to take a detour back to Haicheng, and at the same time called Xiaobai. Received the call, Xiaobai''s voice on the phone became visibly hoarse when he learned of the situation. He suppressed his worry and immediately confirmed the driving route with the driver, saying that he would come over immediately¡ª In fact, waiting for Xiaobai to come by car, it is basically that the distant water cannot extinguish the nearby fire. Lan Shu looked at the driver, Master Wang, and saw that Master Wang was not surprised. Even if he increased the speed, he still drove the car steadily. She asked, "How many years has Master Wang been driving?" "Fourteen or five years ago, I used to drive large trucks, and later joined our group to drive for the leaders." After Master Wang answered, he continued. "Mr. Lan, don''t worry, how can the little broken car in the back compare with our car? I filled up the gas before we set off. Even if we don''t return, I can drive it far away on the road~!" Master Wang is very confident in his driving skills. Of course, what gave him the most confidence was the new high-performance luxury car he was driving now! This car is no problem even if it drives to more than 160 yards! As for the small broken car behind, it is very reluctant to drive to 120. After a long time on the gas pedal, the engine may overheat at any time, and it will either turn off or catch fire~! So Lan Shu didn''t know her worries, and Master Wang was the least worried. The reason why Master Wang made a detour for the return trip was because he listened to the boss. So this car chase scene, which was supposed to be fast and passionate, turned into Master Wang driving the other party deliberately not far or near, so that the other party always had the feeling of "I''ll catch up right away!" ''a feeling of. So much so that the person driving the car behind finally got red-eyed because of chasing the car, and didn''t even notice that the car drove into the range of Haicheng again, and also drove into the section of the road where the Haicheng law enforcement team cooperated with the fortification¡ª More than half an hour later, Gu Cheng sent his men to teach Lan Shu a lesson, and they were successfully arrested! Even if the other party resolutely refuses to admit that they have the idea of ??maliciously chasing the car and detrimental to the occupants of the car in front. But the car behind chased the car in front for so long, and chose to take the same route in every corner. It is impossible to say that there is no chasing car~! In addition, the law enforcement team found control equipment such as steel pipes and short knives from the small gray car. So the three people in the car behind, including the driver, were directly detained and taken away by law enforcement officers, and there will be an interrogation next. In the end, the car chase ended without any danger. Xiaobai, who came to the scene of the ambush with members of the law enforcement team, was relieved after seeing that his daughter-in-law was safe¡ª Originally Xiaobai still had some work to do on drug testing in Haicheng, but now, nothing is more important than the safety of his own wife! So Xiao Bai handed over the work that day, and returned to Kyoto with Lan Shu¡ª The day after he went back, he took another day of driving and returned to Haicheng. The culprit who is detrimental to his daughter-in-law, in Haicheng, all Gu Jue can think of is Gu Cheng! (end of this chapter) Chapter 463: Set of sacks Chapter 463 Set of sacks Although Xiaobai already knew that Gu Chengren was in Haicheng, and also opened a company in Haicheng as the boss. But before, he only suppressed Gu Cheng''s shady forces in Haicheng from the sidelines as a warning, and he absolutely did not mean to kill Gu Cheng''s serious business. But now, my daughter-in-law was followed by someone on the way back from Haicheng. If it wasn''t for the good performance of the car, and Master Wang is an old driver with high driving skills, his wife might have an accident! For Xiao Bai, Lan Shu is his weakness and also his reverse scale! If he dares to do something to his wife, he will never let it go! So this time when Xiaobai came to Haicheng, the two brothers who hadn''t seen each other for many years had a chance to meet indirectly. ¡­ In the law enforcement team, in the examination room. When Gu Cheng was summoned by the law enforcement team today, to be honest, he was surprised. Liang Peng has been sent away by him. He also received a call from overseas this morning, and learned that Liang Peng has successfully arrived abroad and will not be back in a short time. Just when he thought that no one would know what he did, Gu Cheng came here. Opposite, two members of the law enforcement team sat down, one questioned him, and the other took the record of the interview. "Liang Peng, do you know each other? Some people say that the two of you have been in contact several times. Before he left Haicheng, did the two of you still contact each other?" Although the contact between Gu Cheng and Liang Peng was by phone, the mobile phone number used by Liang Peng was handled with someone else¡¯s identity information. No one except Liang Peng knew about this matter, so... "I don''t know Liang Peng." Gu Cheng frowned slightly. He decided that the law enforcement team on the opposite side was defrauding him. "As the owner of a real estate company, I have many contacts with me every day. I don''t remember talking to a person named Liang Peng on the phone." Gu Cheng said. His expression was calm, and his manner of speaking made it impossible to see any problems. If someone saw him at the moment, they would never suspect that he was lying. But Xiao Bai, who was standing outside the single-sided glass, clearly saw the corners of Gu Cheng''s mouth slightly raised when he was speaking. This is Gu Cheng''s habit. Many years ago, when Gu Cheng told him that studying was useless, when he was lured away from the family arrangement and asked him to follow Gu Cheng to do business at a young age, he also had the same expression. In the interrogation room, the interrogator of the law enforcement team saw that he couldn''t ask anything, so he changed the question again. "Yesterday morning, there was a premeditated car chase on the outskirts of Haicheng. Among the three people who were arrested, someone explained that they were ordered by others to follow other people''s cars, which would be harmful to others." Bringing this matter up, Gu Cheng secretly gritted his back molars. He didn''t receive a call back from the people under him after finishing the work yesterday, so he knew something must have happened! So he made an appointment with his friends in the law enforcement team at night, and inquired around the wine table, only to find out how many people were caught by the law enforcement team yesterday¡ª This news made Gu Cheng feel that the people under him were really ineffective! It was just chasing a car, but I couldn''t even catch up, and I was caught in the end? Now that the matter is brought up, Gu Cheng does not know how much the person he sent out has confessed and whether he has confessed, so naturally he will not take the initiative to admit it. "Chasing cars?" Gu Cheng frowned, "Do you think this matter has something to do with me?" It is undeniable that Gu Cheng concealed it very well, even the interrogators did not see the slightest flaw. But Xiaobai, who was standing outside the single-sided glass, once again saw Gu Cheng''s little tricks when he was lying. He couldn''t help clenching his fists, this matter really has something to do with Gu Cheng! Gu Cheng''s subordinates who were chasing the car did not explain who was behind the scenes, so he used this method to find out. Today when he brought Gu Cheng in, he never thought that Gu Cheng would be able to confess honestly, but no matter whether Gu Cheng confesses or not, as long as he knows the answer, it is enough. So two hours later, Gu Cheng came out of the gate of the law enforcement team safe and sound. Just when he was thankful that the people under him were not good at handling things, but they were still strict with their mouths, and the law enforcement team had no conclusive evidence and couldn''t do anything to him. The next second, he walked into the alley where he parked, and his eyes went dark, and someone put a sack on his head! Then there were intensive beatings on his body, and his head was covered with beatings all of a sudden, and he was powerless to fight back, so he was beaten so hard! After beating Gu Cheng, Xiaobai only felt refreshed, and finally vented his anger. At this stage, although he can''t do anything to Gu Cheng, it''s still okay to beat him up and make Gu suffer some flesh and blood injuries. What''s more, if he did it, how could it be as simple as a flesh injury? The beating just now broke Gu Cheng''s two ribs! Gu Cheng didn''t rest for two or three months, so he couldn''t get out of bed. Xiaobai knew that what he did was actually very naive, but if he didn''t let Gu bear some guilt, wouldn''t his wife be frightened in vain? And knowing that Gu Cheng did those things, the next investigation will have a direction. Gu Cheng can send Liang Peng away, then he can capture Liang Peng back! There is no impenetrable wall in this world, as long as some things are done, clues will be left. And Xiaobai only needs to follow the clues to find the person he is looking for! ¡­ Kyoto, No. 36 Chang''an Avenue. After Lan Shu came back from Haicheng, she was always paying attention to the payment of compensation to the injured workers by the real estate branch in Haicheng. After learning on the phone that the money had been handed over to Li Shan''s wife, Lan Shu didn''t forget to tell the people at the branch office¡ª "During Li Shan''s stay in the hospital, go and see more. If his wife encounters any difficulties, help her if you can." On the phone, Secretary Liu of the branch quickly understood what the boss of his group meant. Secretary Liu still remembers how much Li Shan''s parents and younger brother objected when he gave the work-related injury compensation to Li Shan''s daughter-in-law that day! Li Shan''s parents even cried on the spot, saying that the money was given to a person with a different surname. What if the daughter-in-law left their disabled son and ran away? Regarding this, Secretary Liu felt that Li Shan''s wife was more reliable than Li Shan''s biological parents. After all, when Li Shan was hospitalized, the person who fed and drank Li Shan at the bedside, and took care of her clothes was Li Shan''s daughter-in-law. And Li Shan''s parents and younger brother would only go to the gate of the construction site to make trouble, and even wanted to blackmail their company! So Secretary Liu didn''t listen to Li Shan''s parents, but gave the money to Li Shan''s daughter-in-law as the boss ordered. Seeing this, Li Shan''s parents and younger brother could only watch Li Shan''s daughter-in-law in shifts in the hospital, for fear that the money would disappear! Thinking of this, Secretary Liu immediately replied, "Mr. Lan, don''t worry, I will pay more attention to the situation of Li Shan''s daughter-in-law." "Well, if you have any doubts, you can contact me at any time." Lan Shu said. "Okay Mr. Lan!" Lan Shu was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs, and finished calling Secretary Liu of the branch office. She had just put down her phone, and not long after, she saw Xiao Bai coming down the stairs. (end of this chapter) Chapter 464: Escaping with money Chapter 464 Escaping privately Since Xiaobai came back from Haicheng yesterday, something obviously happened. Lan Shu could feel that he was looking at her with some dodge in his eyes. Lan Shu hoped that she and Xiaobai could not hide anything from each other. Seeing Xiaobai appearing now, she silently glanced at Xiaobai. Receiving Lan Shu''s gaze, Xiao Bai knew very well that nothing about him could be hidden from Lan Shu''s eyes. So he had no choice but to walk towards Lan Shu silently, explaining how he had Gu Cheng interrogated and beaten Gu Cheng in Haicheng. It''s hard for Lan Shu to imagine that Xiao Bai will roll up his sleeves and beat someone up one day! He never did this kind of rebellious behavior when he was a teenager, but when he became an adult and had a successful career, he put someone else''s sack for his own sake? In fact, Gu Cheng was beaten, he deserved it! Not to mention that he sent a car to follow his car, trying to get someone to hurt him. Let¡¯s just say that he had people lay hands on the workers on the construction site, causing people to fall from the building and seriously injured and disabled. In this matter, beating him disabled is considered light! It''s just that there is no definite evidence to convict Gu Cheng, so Xiaobai will beat him first to vent his anger. Lan Shu can understand Xiaobai''s actions. "Good job, but don''t do it again next time," she said. When Xiaobai heard this, his stern handsome face was slightly taken aback, and then he showed a pitiful expression of ''I was wrong''. Such a contrast made Lan Shu laugh a little. And just when Xiaobai felt that he had made a bad impression in Lan Shu''s heart, he heard Lan Shu say again¡ª¡ª "Being beaten can only hurt Gu Cheng''s body, which is too cheap for him! As far as the things he did, he must make his heart hurt!" As Lan Shu spoke, she had already made a plan in her heart. "Tell me, if the real estate company of our group robs all of Gu Cheng''s business in Haicheng and makes him go bankrupt, will he feel bad?" Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai was startled. If he really did that, based on his understanding of Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng would not only be uncomfortable? For Gu Cheng, it was a painful blow, a disaster! So he smiled and replied, "Then let''s make him bankrupt!" With the current strength of Langu Group, it would not be too difficult to specifically target a small-scale real estate company to make it unable to operate. Actually, Lan Shu didn''t think about letting Gu Cheng go bankrupt at first, she just thought that as long as Gu Cheng''s development was firmly under the pressure of her business, it would be fine. This is safe for her and for Xiaobai. But now, since Gu Cheng is going to hurt herself, she has no reason to hold back, she must retaliate! So Lan Shu called the Haicheng branch that day. The main development direction of the company in the future is not only to become bigger and stronger in Haicheng, but also to **** the business of Chengfeng Real Estate Company! At the same time, Lan Shu also asked people to spread the word in the construction industry circle in Haicheng. The reason for the accidents of their construction site workers was that some colleagues behaved badly and maliciously competed! While talking about Chengfeng Real Estate and competing with Chengfeng Real Estate for business, who are the unhealthy peers mentioned by some real estate companies of Langu Group? The answer is ready to come out! Now, Chengfeng Real Estate, which was relatively well-known in Haicheng, suddenly lost its reputation and lost its reputation. Combined with the normal business competition between some real estate companies of Langu Group and other companies in the same industry with Chengfeng Real Estate, the business of Chengfeng Real Estate will become more and more difficult in the future! ¡­ In Haicheng, when Gu Cheng clearly felt the pressure brought by Lan Shu''s branch, it was already more than ten days later. A few days ago, he was so busy dealing with Xu Yunjie''s affairs that he didn''t pay attention to industry trends. By the time he realized it, his Chengfeng Real Estate had become an existence that everyone in Haicheng''s construction circle secretly reviled. Gu Cheng was so angry that he almost gnawed his back molars! It''s a pity that it won''t help if he gets angry again. He can only find ways to make up for the bad reputation. But before he can make up for his reputation, he still has one more thing to do. A few days ago, Xu Yunjie left the company suddenly and never came back. Gu Cheng thinks that Xu Yunjie frequently slowed down work this year because he disliked the lack of money he gave at the end of last year, and did not come to the company every now and then. Gu Cheng didn¡¯t ask Xu Yunjie to come to the company to report every day, so he turned a blind eye to it before, and didn¡¯t get too serious with Xu Yunjie. But this time is different, Xu Yunjie has not come to the company for a week, and the business that Xu Yunjie took over before, is now no one arranges, it is a mess! At this time, Gu Cheng sent someone to find Xu Yunjie and asked Xu Yunjie to come to the company to report immediately, but the person he sent came back and told him that Xu Yunjie''s house is empty now, and there is no one there! Gu Cheng came to check the situation in person, only to find that Xu Yunjie might have left Haicheng? Thinking of this, Gu Cheng immediately went back to the company to check the accounts! Half a day later, the account came out, and it clearly stated that Deputy Manager Xu had withdrawn money from the company account for various reasons in the past month. The amount of each sum of money is not large, ranging from a few dozen yuan to one or two hundred, so he didn''t pay attention to it. But the money has already reached more than 3,000 when the accumulation of small amounts of money has become a lot! The last sum of money was a week ago, the day before Xu Yunjie went on strike, he asked the accountant to transfer 5,000 yuan to an account, saying that it was money for steel bars, doors and windows to material suppliers. Combined with Xu Yunjie''s disappearance now, Gu Cheng knew that Xu Yunjie ran away with money! Gu Cheng didn''t know where Xu Yunjie could go, but he knew that the current Xu Yunjie must have left Haicheng! With so many cities in the country, it is not easy for him to find Xu Yunjie. Even if he reported the crime, as long as Xu Yunjie kept his name incognito, kept a low profile, or changed his name, it would be difficult to find him. Besides, Xu Yunjie followed him for more than a year after he was released from prison, and knew many shady things under his hands. Once Xu Yunjie is arrested, if he loudly publicizes his affairs in the law enforcement department, the impact on his company and himself will only be greater! What Gu Cheng can do now is to find Xu Yunjie by himself. But Xu Yunjie has been with Gu Cheng for so long, he is very clear about Gu Cheng''s character, so when he leaves this time, he will naturally not leave a tail for himself. Even the three women he took care of don''t know where he went! So Gu Cheng asked someone to check and came back and was told that now in Haicheng, only Xu Yunjie, his wife and his son are left with a relationship with Xu Yunjie. Even so, Mrs. Xu was still packing her things, preparing to leave Haicheng with her grandson and go back to her hometown. As for the child''s biological mother, the mistress during Xu Yunjie''s marriage... The men have run away, can she continue to wait? While you are young, you still have a chance to find an honest man to marry. Since she was going to get married, she definitely couldn''t take the child with her, so Mrs. Xu gave her five hundred yuan, and she agreed that her son would go with the Xu family. She herself gave birth to keep Xu Yunjie, the benefactor. Now that Xu Yunjie has left her alone, of course she has to stop the loss in time. If she can get the benefits, of course she must get it. (end of this chapter) Chapter 465: star chasing brother Chapter 465 Star Chaser Brother Gu Chengyou thought about detaining Xu Yunjie''s mother and his son, and staying in Haicheng to wait for Xu Yunjie to come back to lead him. However, once this kind of thing is found out, he may have to ''go in'' and squat for a while longer. Gu Cheng doesn''t want to have a resume of ''second entry into the palace''. Besides, he knew that he had sent people to follow the car to harm Lan Shu. After that incident, Gu Jue would definitely let people stare at him secretly to find his faults, so that he could let the law enforcement team deal with him. So at this time, he couldn''t impulsively touch Xu Yunjie''s mother! He even wants to watch Mrs. Xu take her grandson back to her hometown! After Mrs. Xu left, on Gu Cheng''s side, he had to deal with a bunch of bad things that happened in the company before Xu Yunjie left. The construction materials in several small construction sites have already bottomed out, and Xu Yunjie has been procrastinating before. Because there is no work to do, the workers are afraid that the company will not be able to pay their wages, so some workers have already left to find another way out at the construction site under another real estate company. Like similar things, there are countless. Although these things are all small things, the number of small things is enough to make people worry. After Gu Cheng finished handling the company''s affairs, it was already the end of April, and it was about to enter May. At this time, the situation in Haicheng''s construction industry changed, and Gu Cheng''s Chengfeng Real Estate also changed from a small second-rate real estate company to a place where even the third-rate real estate company can''t be ranked. Because the company''s scale cannot keep up with the development, Gu Cheng''s real estate company will face losses at any time. This made him have to consider reducing the company''s personnel. But once it shrinks, his company will no longer be a serious company. In the future, construction practitioners in Haicheng will say that he is a contractor! ¡­ When Gu Cheng was faced with a choice, Lan Shu was also making a choice in Kyoto. The talent show variety show launched by the film and television company this year, after four months of recording and broadcasting competitions, the show became popular all over the country! The championship game will start a week later. This time, the draft is mixed for men and women, in individual battle mode, and the top three at the end can make their debut on the spot. Afterwards, the company will give resources, whether it is a tour or a record, there will be a steady stream. Although this draft variety show has not come to the end, it has undoubtedly succeeded! At the film and television company, Director Yang, who is in charge of program supervision, has urged the company to start a new round of competition immediately after the championship game is over, so as to maintain the popularity of the program. Lan Shu carefully read Director Yang''s proposal, but did not sign it. She hopes that the variety shows produced by her company will be iconic, rather than repeated round after round. Although this talent show was originally decided by Lan Shu, it was made into a mixed competition because she was not sure how many contestants there would be. In the future, if she does variety shows again, she intends to separate the genders. Men can rock and roll wantonly, while women can make girl group styles. Before, she had been busy with other things, and it was not advisable to carry out too frequent talent show variety shows, one of the same type a year would be fine. So Lan Shu didn''t think too much about the content and start time of the next talent show. Now that Director Yang has urged her, she simply called the main creative staff to hold a meeting together to decide on the content of the new talent show variety show at the end of the second half of the year and the beginning of the next year. As for whether it is a girl group or a rock group, everyone will decide after discussion. The discussion of the main creative staff seemed to be endless at the beginning. The meeting lasted for three days, and it was not decided whether to make a rock or a girl group. So the problem finally fell on Lan Shu again. The main creators said that, as the boss, Lan Shu has the final say! This made Lan Shu suddenly feel that she might as well have made the decision by herself from the beginning. She struggled with what to choose now. ¡­ While Lan Shu was still undecided, the final of the variety show talent show finally arrived. In addition to the recording and broadcasting of this game, which will be played on TV, there will also be a dedicated offline stage. Of course, the audience is indispensable at the game site, and the tickets for the audience seats were all sold out as early as the day after the tickets were released a week ago! In today''s era, when most people''s consumption concepts are not so liberal, so many people are willing to buy tickets to watch the game. Many people even took the train to Kyoto in advance to watch the game, which is enough to show how popular this show is! The success of this program has also made the film and television company under the Langu Group a well-deserved entertainment giant in China in one fell swoop! On the day of the finals, Lan Shu brought her family to watch the game. In addition to her, Xiaobai and their daughter, her third brother Lan Sibo also arrived at the scene two hours before the start of the competition with great interest, and he didn''t want to miss any rehearsal. Lan Sibo''s life these years has been really boring, raising and researching pigs every day. Although he has made a lot of gratifying achievements in the field of hybrid pigs and has a high reputation, this is just a normal operation for Lan Sibo. work. When Lan Sibo originally thought that his life would go on in a mediocre way, a variety talent show made him chase after it crazily! In each episode of the show, there are singers and dancers he likes. They sing and dance, have a wonderful life, and stand glamorous on the stage! So Lan Sibo finally found something that interested him in his spare time. He started chasing stars¡ª And after he learned that this variety show was organized by his younger sister''s company, Lan Sibo greeted his younger sister more than a month in advance, and he must reserve a ticket for the finals! With the popularity of the show, he was afraid that he would not be able to get tickets! Just like that, Lan Sibo walked through the ''back door'' and got the ticket to the final, and the position was still the best in the front row! This made Lan Sibo hold his head high in the laboratory of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for several days, feeling extremely proud. It also made several colleagues in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences who were as keen on chasing stars as he was, envious of him. Unfortunately, they are not as lucky as Lan Sibo, and they have a powerful little sister. But in the end, thanks to Lan Sibo, some of them couldn''t get the tickets, and finally begged Lan Sibo to use the ''internal relationship'', and finally bought the tickets. Although their positions are not as front and as good as Lan Sibo''s, they are much better than the random positions where they buy tickets by themselves. On the day of the final, the audience was full. The process of the competition was quite exciting, and the high-quality performance made people feel unsatisfied. When the player he liked was not shortlisted and was eliminated, Lan Sibo couldn''t help but feel the same tears rolling in his eyes. The final champion was won by a female contestant with an excellent voice and who can dance at the same time. The other party has outstanding ability and deserves its name. The third runner-up and the second runner-up are also outstanding in ability and charisma. After the game was over, Lan Sibo had the honor to stand with his favorite players and take a group photo. In the photo, Lan Sibo is grinning, revealing a row of white teeth. He made a gesture of scissors hands with his hands, successfully chasing stars~! There is something to go out today, there is only one update, and it will be added at the end of the month, keeping 120,000 words per month. (end of this chapter) Chapter 466: caught by an idol Chapter 466 I was caught by an idol During the last few days of May 1990, Lan Sibo, the third son of the Lan family, had been single for thirty years and finally fell in love! Lan Sibo''s success in chasing stars has a follow-up. Serious and down-to-earth work, Lan Sibo, a good young man who only has eyes for breeding pigs, is fascinated by the beautiful voice of Yu Xia, the girl who won the variety show championship in the draft, and once regarded the champion sister Yu Xia as an idol. After taking photos with the champion sister, Lan Sibo sincerely expressed his excitement to the champion sister. He said to his idol as a fan, "I like you so much!" As a result, the champion sister blushed on the spot, and after carefully looking at Lan Sibo for a while, she said shyly, "I don''t have a boyfriend yet..." At that moment, Lan Sibo thought he heard it wrong! But when he met the serious eyes of the champion sister, Lan Sibo was silent for a moment. I simply chased stars, but the idol fell in love with me? This kind of thing is really a bit unreal. Before this, he didn''t even dare to think about it! And he followed the show for a few months, and he really liked the girl Yu Xia who was very serious about every performance in the show. So Lan Sibo looked at Yu Xia, and suddenly became shy... In the end, the two left their contact information, and then got to know each other through several meetings, and confirmed their relationship. When Lan Shu heard the news, it was her third brother who wanted to invite her to dinner, saying that he was introducing his girlfriend to her. Lan Shu heard that the only older unmarried young man in the family finally became emotionally enlightened, so she went to meet people with great interest. After seeing the person, Lan Shu was stunned¡ª My third brother''s girlfriend turned out to be an artist signed by the film and television company under my group! ? Nowadays, under the influence of the general environment, all public figures are independent singles. Once a relationship is discovered, it is likely to affect the future career. Young singing and dancing all-round singer signed by his company, although the company has no regulations that the other party cannot fall in love, but the relationship has just signed the contract, this speed is too fast! And the person in love is still her brother, so what can Lan Shu say? It was also at this time that Yu Xia, who was in love with Lan Sibo, realized that her boyfriend turned out to be the brother of the big boss! When she and Lan Sibo met for the first time to take a group photo at the backstage of the game, she thought Lan Sibo was a staff member. After getting to know him better, he discovered that Lan Sibo was actually a young associate professor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Today, her boyfriend brought her to meet her family, and Yu Xia was shocked to find that her boyfriend could reveal another identity again! Yu Xia was stunned for a long time before accepting this fact. Then¡­ "Boss, I will fall in love quietly, and no one will know..." Yu Xia has a strong desire to survive, and she is afraid that she will lose her bright future because of her falling in love. Of course, she will not lose her boyfriend for the sake of her future. Hearing what Yu Xia said, before Lan Shu had time to speak, Lan Sibo on the side disagreed. "Xia Xia, am I so shameless? Do you still need to be sneaky when you are in love?" Lan Sibo frowned slightly. "I''m going to take you to meet my little sister first, and then I''ll go back to meet my parents next week and get married before the end of the year!" He focused on expressing his appeal. Hearing her boyfriend said that she wanted to marry her, Yu Xia was very moved. And Lan Shu: ¡­ It¡¯s okay for a newly signed artist to be in love. Nowadays, the information is not developed, and the paparazzi in the mainland are not popular. As long as you are careful, it is difficult to expose the relationship. But now, after hearing what her third brother said, Lan Shu knew her third brother''s temperament very well. Although the third brother seemed to be concentrating on his work and keeping a low profile, in fact the third brother was definitely not a low-key person! In the past, it was just that there was nothing that her third brother felt the need to show off. And now, with such a beautiful and talented girlfriend, he wished to let all his relatives and friends know about it. For example, now, less than a week after the two confirmed their relationship, he brought his girlfriend to let him meet, which was his high-profile show off of Lan Sibo. So you don¡¯t even have to think about hiding your love affair~! As for the two of them really wanting to get married, the company must make a plan first, and must develop positively for Yu Xia''s career reputation in the future. After the meeting and dinner, just like what Lan Sibo said, he took Yu Xia to Linjiang City within a few days. After seeing my parents and my second brother, the next stop is to meet my elder brother in Linjiang City. Afterwards, he even brought him back to Tianshui Village, and walked around the village with his girlfriend. The result is that everyone in the village knows that the girl who won the singing and dancing competition on TV is actually with the third child of the Lan family? ! In the village, when Lan Sibo''s Faxiao met him, he asked casually, "When will you get married?" Lan Sibo grinned happily, "Soon, we will get married in the second half of the year." Yu Xia bowed her head slightly beside her, smiling shyly. There is a man who is outstanding in appearance, successful in his career, excellent in himself, and kind to himself. He only wants to marry her back home. Of course, she is very happy. Two days ago, she called her family and said that she was going to get married, and she got married years ago! Yu Xia has already made a plan. When she finds time next month, she will bring her boyfriend back to her home. After meeting her family, they can discuss the date of marriage in the next step. ¡­ One month later, when Lan Shu learned that her third brother''s wedding had been fixed, she was shocked and astonished! How long have the third brother and Yu Xia known each other? After two months, the two of them have already reached the point where they are talking about marriage? ? ? Lan Shu previously had the impression that Yu Xia was talented and had a unique voice during the airing of the talent show variety show. But Yu Xia, whom she met through her third brother, is a full love brain. Lan Shu didn''t say that her love brain is bad, but Yu Xia''s personality. Fortunately, she met her third brother Lan Sibo. Otherwise, if she was another man, if she was a bit scumbag, wouldn''t she be deceived? Miserable? Although it was unexpected, it was her third brother and Yu Xia''s own choice, and Lan Shu expressed her blessings. It is now mid-July, and the wedding date of the two is scheduled for early October. There is not much time to prepare for the wedding. Fortunately, under Lan Shu''s hands, there is also a studio for customizing wedding dresses. There are various styles of wedding dresses, and the matching wedding shoes are also new products every season in her friend Li Jiaojiao''s high-end handmade custom shoe store. As the younger sister, Lan Shu can give the greatest help to her brother''s wedding attire! It''s like ten years ago, when Lan Sibo, who had just started working for a short time, got paid, and took Fat Lanshu to the mall to buy clothes as soon as he came back. My brother¡¯s contribution ten years ago, although my sister changed the core ten years later, she still remembers my brother¡¯s kindness... ¡­ July passed, August came. Xiao Qingning will soon enter the second grade of primary school. She went to primary school with her, and Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang''s son Lan Juncheng. There is another chapter, which will be updated at about twelve o''clock. Little cuties, remember to watch the vote~ A monthly pass is very much needed! (end of this chapter) Chapter 467: family business options Chapter 467 Choice of Family Business Junjun spent half a year in kindergarten before preparing to enter elementary school. In half a year, he has been able to fully integrate into the group of his peers from being uncomfortable at the beginning. Tang Chu brought Junjun to live in Kyoto for almost a year. During this year, both mother and son are in much better condition than before. Junjun seems to have got rid of the shadow of his childhood, and his personality has gradually changed from timid and timid to dare to greet others proactively. And when facing acquaintances, the seven-year-old Lan Juncheng has returned to the cheerfulness before he was abducted. Just in front of unfamiliar people, he is still a little reserved and withdrawn. Besides Junjun, when Tang Chu first came to the capital, Lan Shu observed that she was depressed. At that time, Tang Chu guarded her son tightly, and she felt flustered and uncomfortable when she didn''t see Junjun for a while. But now, when Junjun was in kindergarten, she no longer stood by the kindergarten gate the whole time, anxiously waiting for her son to leave school. The leisurely and relaxed life made Tang Chu slowly come out of the depression. Now Tang Chu already has his own small business. Because she usually has to pick up her son, when Tang Chu approached Lan Shu and told her that she wanted to start working slowly, Lan Shu arranged for Tang Chu to go to the cosmetics counter in the mall to be a teller. This job is completely different from the secretarial job before Tang Chu, but it is the job that contacts the most people, especially women. Lan Shu''s purpose is to let Tang Chu understand what women in Kyoto are like today. All the beautifully dressed and well-dressed women, their eyes are not the suffering of life, but the self-confidence that makes themselves good enough. Tang Chu had only been working at the counter for more than a month. When Lan Shu saw her again, she found that Tang Chu''s whole person seemed to have changed. Living around children all year round made Tang Chu instinctively resist contact with outsiders. But now, the cheerful Tang Chu who was in the garment factory back then, who was fully qualified to work as the factory manager''s secretary, is back again! ¡­ The cosmetics counter on the second floor of Huaxia Mall. Seeing the boss coming, all the salesmen at the counter came out in better condition than usual to face the leader''s inspection. Although Tang Chu and Lan Shu were friends and relatives, she did not tell the tellers here about her identity. Now she is just an ordinary teller doing sales. Lan Shu didn''t reveal anything about Tang Chu''s concealment. She watched from the side as Tang Chu was receiving a middle-aged rich lady. When recommending corresponding skin care products according to the other party''s skin, Tang Chu smiled standard, showing a professional look, which made Lan Shu feel happy for Tang Chu from the bottom of her heart. After Tang Chu finished receiving customers, Lan Shu called her away and had a chat. "Have you thought about your future career plan?" Lan Shu asked. Tang Chu is actually not young anymore. At thirty-three years old, working in a cosmetics counter is a bit too big. At the beginning of Tang, she was the most suitable age for working hard in her career, but she chose to return to her family and put those days on her son. It is not too late to start again now. Lan Shu believes that Tang Chu will be more mature than before, and will know how to plan his future. When asked by Lan Shu, Tang Chu thought for a moment, and after organizing what she wanted to say in her mind, she answered¡ª "I quite like my current job. I can get in touch with the outside world and take care of my family." Tang Chu said with a slight smile. "Ande and I always need someone to take care of the family. Ander has to take care of the orchard and free-range chicken farm, and there are two small factories to be busy. I can''t also concentrate on work, but I neglect to take care of my family Junjun. .¡± "Junjun grows up soon, and I don''t want him to think of his childhood as a lonely person without the company of his parents." Listening to Tang Chu''s words, Lan Shu fell silent for a while. Tang Chu''s answer, to be honest, exceeded Lan Shu''s expectations! Lan Shu knows that Tang Chu is a career-oriented woman, and she has a hardworking heart. Otherwise, in the small clothing workshop in Qingyang County, there would not have been several female sewing workers, so Tang Chu stood up and said that she would do work other than skilled workers. Even at that time her work did not make as much money as a seamstress. Tang Chu, who was 21 years old at the time, saw not the current situation, but the opportunities in the future. But now, she wants to give up what she pursued when she was young... Tang Chu''s words not only surprised Lan Shu, but also touched her heart. Because all this is also what Lan Shu has to face. Work and career, or accompany your daughter? Lan Shu has always worked hard to balance her career and family, but because she has such a large group under her control, she is always busy with things that require her to make decisions. So after reflection, Lan Shu realized that she didn''t spend as much time with her daughter as Xiao Bai did with her daughter. Although Xiaobai also has a career, in order to take care of his children as much as possible and accommodate his time at home, he moved all his laboratories to his home. Usually, whenever Lan Shu is at home, she can basically see Xiao Bai. Only once in a while, Xiaobai will go out on business trips. Tang Chu said that there is always someone who has to take care of the family, but in her family, Xiaobai is the one who pays more... Thinking of this, Lan Shu can also understand Tang Chu''s mood. She nodded, looked at Tang Chu and said, "Okay, then stay here first, and talk about it later when Junjun grows up." After leaving Huaxia Mall, Lan Shu didn''t go anywhere, and went home directly. It''s still early, and there are still one or two hours before lunch. Knowing that Xiaobai was at home, Lan Shu didn''t bother, but washed her hands and went into the kitchen. There are all the ingredients in the refrigerator at home, Lan Shu selected some and planned to cook for herself. While rolling up her sleeves to chop vegetables, Lan Shu suddenly discovered that since she and Xiao Bai got married, in the past eight years, she hadn''t even entered the kitchen once. Although Xiaobai seldom cooks, every New Year''s day, he will show his skills to himself. Xiaobai''s cooking skills have been getting better and better year after year. Lan Shu felt that she was used to it, but she didn''t think about the reason. Busy in the kitchen, at noon, when Xiaobai came out of the laboratory on the west wing, he just entered the door of the main villa, and he smelled the familiar smell of food. "Are you making sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch today? And roasted eggplant and roast lamb?" When Xiaobai finished speaking, he saw Lanshu wearing an apron, coming out of the kitchen with a plate. Lan Shu smiled and replied, "You can smell it? You guessed it right! There is also a pot of stewed chicken with mushrooms." Seeing that it was his own wife cooking, Xiao Bai was startled¡ª Then he walked over quickly, took the dish from Lan Shu''s hand, and put it on the table beside him. The man in a clean white shirt with a jade complexion immediately rolled up his sleeves and said with concern, "Sit down, daughter-in-law, I''ll serve the dishes." Xiaobai is reluctant to let his daughter-in-law suffer a little bit! However, he was indescribably happy to be able to eat the meals cooked by his wife~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 468: accompany Chapter 468 Accompanying A good relationship is the mutual management of both parties. Lan Shu didn''t realize this before, or she was used to Xiaobai''s blind dedication. Now that she has come to her senses, Lan Shu suddenly has a lot to say to Xiao Bai, but when it comes to her mouth, she doesn''t know how to say it. In the end, all the words came together into two people looking at each other and smiling, sitting at the dining table, and having a warm meal. After the meal, the nanny put away the tableware, and Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went upstairs to rest. It was just a normal afternoon nap, but in the end, the two of them didn''t know who took the initiative, and they rolled together in broad daylight. (Okay, that¡¯s it for now, the details are up to everyone¡¯s imagination, if you write again, you will be blocked o(¨i©n¨i)o) In the end, neither of them could sleep well during this afternoon nap, but the relationship between the two has been further sublimated. ¡­ In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to Gu''s house to pick up their daughter. Recently, Xiao Qingning was on vacation, either staying at her grandparents'' house, or going to her great-grandfather''s house. Seven-and-a-half-year-old children are still very playful. Lan Shu did not deliberately ask her daughter to use all the time to study. What she advocated was to study hard while studying and play hard when playing. Therefore, during the summer vacation, it became a happy world for Xiao Qingning. When she was picked up from her grandparents¡¯ house at night, the little girl waved her hands reluctantly. "Grandpa and grandma, remember to pick me up during the holidays." School will start soon, and Xiao Qingning also knows that she has to go back early to calm down. And playing every day recently, her piano study has fallen behind, so she should go back to practice the piano, otherwise she might be surpassed by her cousin Lan Juncheng at any time! Junjun, who learned to play the piano with Xiao Qingning, has only studied for more than half a year, but Junjun''s learning progress is amazing. Even the teacher who taught Junjun to play the piano said that Xiao Qingning is interested in playing the piano and has a certain talent. But Lan Juncheng is one of a kind genius with amazing talent! As if he was born to learn to play the piano¡ª Junjun has studied piano for more than half a year, which is almost the same level as Xiao Qingning studied for two years. If this continues, maybe in another year, his level will be able to catch up with Xiao Qingning. Originally Xiao Qingning was purely interested in learning to play the piano, but now that Lan Juncheng has joined, the little girl has the meaning of competing with her cousin in her heart. My cousin is a late learner, if I can still surpass myself, then I am too ashamed~! So when Xiao Qingning was learning the piano, she increased the time of practicing the piano by herself. ¡­ On the other side, at the Meng family, Meng Dabao is still in kindergarten. Kindergarten has a summer class, Meng Heng now has a stable working time, and Sun Yuan has to go to work on time every day, so Meng Dabao''s daily care falls on the second child of the Meng family. The old couple has retired, and now they are full-time at home to take care of their children. Originally during the summer vacation, Meng Dabao was supposed to have fun at home for two months, but in order to go to elementary school earlier, he offered to go to kindergarten. It''s rare that Dabao loves to study so much, how could the family not agree? So this summer vacation, Meng Dabao can only play with Xiao Qingning on occasional weekends. Although the two played less together, Meng Dabao still regarded Xiao Qingning as his best friend. He wanted to graduate from kindergarten as soon as possible and go to elementary school, also in order to get closer to Xiao Qingning. The little fool is not smart, but he knows that the current efforts can buy more time with Xiao Qingning in the future. ¡­ In a blink of an eye, it was September, the beginning of the new semester, and Xiao Qingning was promoted to the second grade. Her cousin Lan Juncheng also successfully entered the first grade of elementary school, and he went to the same school as Xiao Qingning, with classes upstairs and downstairs. Today, Lan Juncheng is used to collective life, so when he entered elementary school, he was a little uncomfortable with the new school environment only a few days ago, and then he was completely accustomed to the new life here. A few days after school started, on this day, Lan Shu was not busy, and Xiao Bai''s medical research had also come to an end. He planned to take half a month off for himself to rest. The two of them had nothing to do, so they came to pick up their daughter from school together. Usually the nanny Lin Ting picks up Xiao Qingning, but today is different. When it was time to leave school, the children, big and small, lined up and came out of the school gate in order, but Xiao Bai saw his daughter in the pile of children at a glance. With Xiaobai''s height advantage, Xiao Qingning can easily see her father. Seeing her parents coming to pick her up together, Xiao Qingning''s happy mood was almost written on her face! Daughter''s reaction made Lan Shu think of what Tang Chu said before. Indeed, children grow up quickly, and as parents, once they miss their children''s childhood, there is no chance to start over. So she will try to spend more time with her children and care about her family in the future. In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai had dinner outside with their daughter. Although the food at home is not bad, there is a special reason today. ¡­ In the Kyoto Hotel, when Lan Shu and Xiao Bai arrived, Lan Shengli, Chang Chunfang, Lan Sibo, Yu Xia and Yu Xia''s parents were already there. Lan Sibo and Yu Xia''s wedding is approaching, although the two families have already fixed the date earlier, the venue for the wedding has not yet been determined. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang originally thought that the children''s marriage should be done in their hometown logically, but considering Yu Xia''s status as a star, it would be too shabby to do it in the village, and they were afraid that the woman would not want it. So after discussing where to hold the wedding, the old couple decided to let Lan Sibo decide for himself. If this kind of thing was done a few years ago, the old couple would definitely be very stubborn and would demand that the wedding must be held in the village. But now, the two lived in Linjiang City all year round, and fewer people went back to Tianshui Village, and the relationship with the neighbors gradually weakened. In addition, the stars on TV give ordinary people the feeling that they are aloof. People are like this. When they meet someone they feel they can¡¯t afford, they will naturally lower their stature and stop thinking about it. Lan Sibo is of course happy to be able to control his own marriage initiative! So he discussed with Yu Xia and planned to hold a wedding in Kyoto. When you come to Kyoto, it is easy to choose a wedding venue, and any big hotel can be used no matter what. In the past, almost all of Lan Sibo''s contacts were in Kyoto. He had stayed in this city for 13 or 14 years. For him, Kyoto was the place he was most familiar with. In addition to his role as an associate professor of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the unit has already allocated a house, and Lan Sibo has a place to live. The most important thing is that Lan Sibo also plans to buy a house on Chang''an Avenue. In these years, he would go to his little sister''s house for a meal every now and then. Lan Sibo is quite familiar with Chang''an Avenue. The residential area on Chang''an Avenue has a good environment and a good location. After buying it, when he and Yu Xia get married, it will be convenient for Yu Xia to live there. Lan Sibo has long wanted to be neighbors with his little sister and big brother~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 469: fooled many times Chapter 469 Being stupid many times After finishing the meal, the place for the wedding of the Lan family and the Yu family''s children was also decided, and it was in the Jingdu Hotel. As for Lan Sibo buying a house, he has long been on his own, and has entrusted a colleague from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to help him find a seller. It''s on Chang''an Avenue, house number 102, the location is good, and the size of the place is also suitable. It is a three-story villa covering an area of ??more than 150 square meters, with a yard of 70 to 80 square meters. Lan Sibo knows that this kind of house is not comparable to the ones bought by his younger sister and elder brother, but he and Yu Xia will live together in the future, and the place is spacious enough~! After the meal, the two families left the restaurant, and in the car where the three members of the Lan family were returning, Xiao Qingning couldn''t help asking a question. "Mom and Dad, is my little uncle going to marry a wife?" At the dinner table just now, Xiao Qingning was immersed in eating, and really didn''t listen too much to the conversation between the adults. But at her age, she already knew that her little uncle had found someone, and she would have a little aunt soon. Children''s curiosity is natural. When asked by her daughter, Lan Shu answered truthfully, "Yes, your little uncle is going to marry a wife next month." Hearing this sentence, Xiao Qingning was very happy. "Great! Then I''m going to eat wedding candies and ask for red envelopes with Junjun and Dabao~!" In Xiao Qingning''s opinion, she has the best relationship with Junjun and Dabao. If there is any good thing, of course, she should think about her friends. While Lan Shu listened to Xiao Qingning''s words, she remained silent. Junjun is the eldest brother''s child, so it is only natural to attend her third brother''s wedding. But Dabao... Even in terms of blood relationship, Dabao can be said to be the nephew of the third brother, but his identity is also special. Meng Dabao''s biological mother, Lan Xinya, is the daughter of the Lan family who was miscarried since she was a child. She didn''t grow up with her brothers, and the brother-sister relationship is weak. Adding that Lan Xinya looked down on her blood relatives before, the things she did made everyone in the family dislike her. Also, Lan Xinya and Meng Heng have already divorced, so Xiao Qingning''s wish for Junjun to attend the wedding together may not be possible. Fortunately, Xiao Qingning is more sensible. When she heard her mother say that Dabao couldn''t come, she didn''t cry or make trouble, but felt a little regretful. "Then I will ask for some more wedding candies, and share them with Dabao when I get back." Xiao Qingning smiled innocently. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were sitting in another car dispatched by the logistics department of Lan Shurang Group. Lan Shengli also mentioned about Lan Xinya. "Chunfang, this time our third child is getting married, don''t tell Xinya any more." The elder son and the second son got married and had children, and Lan Xinya was present. Lan Shengli didn''t want to see the embarrassing scene for everyone in the family. When Chang Chunfang heard her old man say this, he obviously didn''t trust her, and Chang Chunfang immediately recalled the unhappiness in the past! She is a little angry! "I''ve been fooled so many times, this time I won''t wishful thinking that my biological daughter needs our family members." She said needs, which can be said to be very protective of Lan Xinya. If an outsider knew about Lan Xinya''s calculations and use of the Lan family in Tianshui Village, I''m afraid he would have cursed Lan Xinya as a white-eyed wolf! Lan Shengli didn''t correct the words in his wife''s mouth, because that didn''t matter. He knew that his wife was heartbroken, so it was enough for him not to stick his face towards Lan Xinya. That night, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang lived in the bedroom on the east wing of their daughter''s house. They took the train for a day during the day, and chatted for a long time while eating out at night, and they were already tired by now. Before the two of them lay on the bed and went to sleep, they couldn''t help but think about one thing. They never thought that they came to Kyoto, instead of going to live with their eldest son, the only place they could go was Shushu. Chang Chunfang couldn''t help sighing when she thought of her eldest daughter-in-law. They have all arrived at the gate of the eldest son''s house in Kyoto just now, and it is even difficult to get in. Speaking of which, in the past year, the eldest daughter-in-law brought their eldest grandson to Kyoto, and they haven''t seen Junjun for a long time. Chang Chunfang decided to go see Junjun tomorrow. But Lan Shengli was thinking, is there really no room for relaxation in the relationship between his wife and eldest daughter-in-law? Lan Shengli didn''t know if it was possible to ease the relationship, but if she asked Tang Chu about this, she would definitely not forgive her! The feeling of almost losing her son forever, she will never forget it in her life! ¡­ Early the next morning, Xiao Qingning went to the piano room to practice after breakfast. Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli woke up to the beautiful sound of the piano. The two of them changed their clothes and went downstairs, only to realize that it was their little granddaughter who was playing the piano. Because Xiao Qingning grew up in Kyoto, Lan Shengli and his wife didn''t see this child many times, so they didn''t know that such a young child could already play such beautiful music. Seeing grandpa and grandma coming, Xiao Qingning performed even harder. She played three pieces in a row until her fingers were tired, so she stopped. "Good morning, grandpa and grandma." Xiao Qingning greeted politely and walked towards the two elders. "Is the piano I play nice?" Xiao Qingning asked enthusiastically when she saw a new audience. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were of course telling the truth, and they nodded. "Sounds good, Xiao Qingning is amazing!" Lan Shengli praised. Chang Chunfang also said, "Xiao Qingning plays really well!" Both of them praised from the bottom of their hearts, which made Xiao Qingning very happy. But she remembered that her mother said that pride makes people regress, so she immediately said modestly, "Cousin Junjun also plays the piano very well, next time I will play the piano with cousin Junjun for you to listen to." "Junjun can play the piano?" Lan Shengli didn''t know about this before. Chang Chunfang has never heard the elder son mention it. As for her relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law, there has been no contact for more than a year. So when did their grandson Junjun learn to play the piano? They are grandparents, they don¡¯t even know about their own grandson¡¯s situation, and it¡¯s a joke to say it! This further strengthened Chang Chunfang''s idea of ??going to take a good look at her grandson. So after the old couple had breakfast, they asked the nanny next to their granddaughter to take them to their eldest son''s house. At this moment, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, who have already started their busy work that day, don''t know this... And when they found out, the conflict between Chang Chunfang and Tang Chu''s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law escalated again¡ª ¡­ Chang''an Avenue, the residence of Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu. The weather is fine today, and it just coincides with Tangchu''s work break, so she plans to take her son out for a walk this day. Tang Chu made breakfast for her son, and seeing Junjun eat all of it seriously, she picked up a handkerchief and handed it to her son to wipe his mouth, then said with a smile in a good mood, "Then let''s go~! " But Tang Chu led Junjun to the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Chang Chunfang and Lan Shengli appearing in front of her. Tang Chu frowned almost instinctively, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 470: contradiction Chapter 470 Contradiction Originally, this sentence was a question in Tang Chu''s heart, she didn''t think about anything else at all. But Chang Chunfang, who had a bad relationship with Tang Chu, heard the words, but there was a big problem! "You? Even your parents can''t bark anymore?" Chang Chunfang immediately became angry. and¡­ "This is my son''s home, can''t we come?" Tang Chu didn''t mean that at first, but heard her mother-in-law say that this is her son''s home. The tone seemed to completely leave her daughter-in-law outside, and they were completely outsiders in their hearts! Tang Chu felt uncomfortable immediately. But because she didn''t want to embarrass her man, Tang Chu still suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Mom, this is the home of me, An De, and Junjun." She meant to emphasize that this is not what the mother-in-law said, but the home of the mother-in-law and son. But what Chang Chunfang heard from Tang Chu had other meanings! "What''s the matter? It''s your home, so we can''t come?" The old lady got into a dead end again. Now, Tang Chu was completely speechless by Chang Chunfang''s words. She suddenly didn''t want to say anything more, because no matter what she said, it was not a good thing for her mother-in-law. See Tang Chu is silent. Isn''t this the default? Chang Chunfang became even more angry! "Our family, Da Zhuang, worked hard every day to buy a house in Kyoto. As parents, we didn''t even know what kind of house our son bought for so long. Now I want to see the house bought by my son with my own eyes. , do you still need to look at your face?" "Mom, I didn''t mean that!" Tang Chu didn''t want to explain at first, but she couldn''t do without explaining the current situation. After finishing speaking, Tang Chu immediately stepped aside, "Mom and Dad, come in and sit down first." Seeing this, Chang Chunfang walked in with satisfaction. Lan Shengli followed behind and whispered to his daughter-in-law, "Your mother is like this, don''t be as knowledgeable as your mother." Lan Shengli''s consolation made Tang Chu feel a little relieved, but the next second she saw Chang Chunfang suddenly turned her head and glared at her and Lan Shengli. "What kind of person am I? Old man, please tell me clearly! I''m just telling the truth. I''m the only one who is a villain when I''m a co-author. Are you always a peacemaker?" Chang Chunfang originally felt that the eldest daughter-in-law had disrespected her in the past few years and had resentment towards her in her heart, so she took her eldest grandson far away, not letting her see. Chang Chunfang couldn''t see her eldest grandson, not to mention how bad her mood was, so now that she saw her eldest daughter-in-law, she felt angry and wanted to vent. But when she vented her anger, her old man acted as a good person behind her, saying that she was wrong! Chang Chunfang despises her closest people the most, standing on the opposite side of herself to protect others! In her eyes, this is no different from betraying her! So for this reason, Chang Chunfang thought it was the eldest daughter-in-law''s fault, which made her old man say something wrong with her. In addition, she has been here for a while, and her grandson beside her didn''t even call out grandma. Chang Chunfang took Junjun for four years, she felt that the eldest daughter-in-law must have said something to Junjun, which made Junjun so strange to her. Therefore, Chang Chunfang, who had just entered the door, had another conflict with Tang Chu! Now, even Lan Shengli who is beside him can''t be persuaded! Junjun saw the sudden appearance of grandma and mother arguing, he''wow~! ¡¯ cried out in fright¡ª Hearing his son''s cry, Tang Chu felt distressed, and he had to be reasonable and clear about his attitude that he could tolerate. But mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, how can you explain clearly? By the time Lan Shu learned that her adoptive mother had quarreled with Tang Chu, it was already a few hours later. And the one who told her about it was her elder brother in Tianshui Village, Qingyang County! ¡­ In the afternoon, after the driver, Master Zhang, drove Lan Shu to the residence of her eldest brother and Tang Chu, Lan Shu walked through the yard, and when she entered the door, she saw Tang Chu sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor with red eyes. The adoptive mother Chang Chunfang was also very angry, and now her adoptive father Lan Shengli has taken her back to her home. Separation of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the best way to end the dispute. But even if they separated, the knot in the hearts of the two of them would remain together. As long as they met, the conflict would reappear. Seeing Lan Shu coming, Tang Chu couldn''t help crying immediately. After living in Kyoto for nearly a year, the depression caused by various negative emotions in Tang Chu''s heart has almost disappeared. But now, the quarrel with her mother-in-law brought her back to that depressed state. So much so that she lost control of her emotions and was prone to incontinence of tears. When Lan Shu saw Tang Chu''s state, she knew that Tang Chu''s situation was not good. She walked quickly towards Tang Chu, sat beside Tang Chu, stretched out her hand and gently put Tang Chu on her shoulder, "Cry, after crying, you must adjust your state back." Lan Shu didn''t persuade Tang Chu to let her be patient, but focused on persuading her. She knows that crying can vent her emotions, so she will not stop Tang Chu from crying. Tang Chu cried for more than half an hour before stopping. Seeing that Tang Chu had stopped his tears, Lan Shu asked, "Where''s Junjun?" Bringing her son up at this time can distract Tang Chu''s attention. Sure enough, upon hearing Lan Shu''s question, Tang Chu''s mood improved rapidly, "Junjun slept upstairs." My son has the habit of taking a nap, so she has the opportunity to cry wantonly in front of Lan Shu. Lan Shu nodded, "Brother has already told me about the matter between you and Mom. This is what Mom did wrong. I will persuade her well when I go back." Lan Shu didn''t favor Tang Chu, but she knew Chang Chunfang''s temper well. "But there is one thing you did wrong. Even if there are conflicts between adults, you shouldn''t have it in front of a child. To the child, it will set a wrong image for the child and affect the child''s mental health. " Lan Shu hoped that Tang Chu would be more patient with Chang Chunfang for the sake of the child. Of course, she will also tell Chang Chunfang that having a quarrel with Tang Chu in front of Junjun will only push Junjun further and further away. The conflict between the two actually would not have happened as long as each took a step back. It is not easy to completely resolve the conflict between the two, but it is still possible to make the two feel scruples and restrain themselves. With the same meaning, Lan Shu finished comforting Tang Chu and said it to her adoptive mother after returning home. Although Junjun grew up with his grandmother, Chang Chunfang worked hard to take care of Junjun for four years, but the child grew up too fast, and he didn''t remember much when he was a child, so he didn''t see him for more than a year, and it was reasonable for him to be estranged from his grandmother middle. She assured Chang Chunfang that Tang Chu would never do anything that would affect the child''s thinking with his own will. Later, Lan Shu asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to calm down for a day, and on the third day, she made an appointment with the two again, with her as the middleman, and let them have a meal at the same dining table in her house. The purpose of this meal is to let Junjun know that the relationship between grandma and mother is not as bad as he thought. For the sake of the children, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are willing to take a step back in this matter. So although the meal was awkward, it went smoothly to the end. (end of this chapter) Chapter 471: I have news about your father Chapter 471 Your father has news The seemingly temporary harmony between the two adults made Junjun accept his grandma again, and also remembered how grandma had always taken care of him when he was young. Seeing that the eldest grandson was willing to call her grandma, the expression on Chang Chunfang''s face became more beautiful. And when Tang Chu saw that her mother-in-law''s attention was on Junjun, she was finally relieved that she no longer had the attitude that she was about to start a fight with herself in a few words. Between the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the presence of Junjun is a palliative. As long as Junjun shows closeness to grandma, Chang Chunfang won''t have the time to find Tang Chu''s fault. It was Lan Shu who made Tang Chu realize this, so for the sake of family harmony and for the sake of not being caught in the middle by his own man, Tang Chu agreed with Lan Shu''s move and decided to do it in the future. Fortunately, Chang Chunfang''s attention soon shifted to the preparations for the third son''s marriage. ¡­ In September, Xiao Qingning started school, and Lan Juncheng also entered the first grade. Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang temporarily stayed in Kyoto because their third son was about to get married. Although Lan Sibo has already decided to hold the wedding at the Jingdu Hotel, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang, who are parents, have to worry about the specific banquet guests and arranging the banquet dishes. The old couple had something to do, so they naturally did their best. Halfway through, Lan Shengli also made a trip back to Linjiang City and sold out the crispy fried chicken restaurant. Firstly, they won¡¯t be in Linjiang City for a while, and secondly, Lan Shengli is almost 60 years old now, and he has made a lot of money by opening a shop these years, so he should listen to the children, take a good rest, and enjoy old age up. After the third son in the family gets married, he plans to take his wife back to Tianshui Village, open a vegetable field, and live a leisurely life. If the wife wants to stay in Linjiang City, it¡¯s okay, anyway, they have a house in Linjiang City. Life in the city is more convenient than in the village, and everything you want is easy to buy. While Lan Shengli was making plans for the future, October came and Lan Sibo was getting married! On the day of the wedding, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang wore the maroon Xi Gong and Xi Po clothes prepared by their family in advance. Lan Shengli was wearing a long-sleeved Tang suit, black trousers, and a maroon top with exquisite buttons. Chang Chunfang was wearing a short-sleeved maroon over-the-knee gauze skirt and a dark red embroidered shawl. Her hair was specially dyed black for today, and then curled. She looked like a rather western-style old lady. This attire is comparable to that of Yu Xia''s parents who were born in the Great Wall. On the day of the wedding, the banquet hall of the Jingdu Hotel was very lively. Although there were not many relatives in Lan''s family, there were seven or eight tables of Lan Sibo''s colleagues and friends! Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan also came. As Lan Shengli''s cousin, Lan Weicheng can be said to be one of the few relatives in Lan Shengli''s family. When Lan Weicheng came, he also brought a message. "Shengli, we have information on your father''s whereabouts." When Lan Shengli was young, his father was so poor that his father was too lazy to cook. His daughter-in-law ran away and left him to live with his father. Lan Shengli didn''t remember what his mother looked like for a long time, and his father also left home after spending the money ''selling'' him after he replaced Weicheng''s cousin and went to the countryside to work as an educated youth. . His father has not heard from him for so many years. Lan Shengli thought that the old man had died outside long ago. After all, considering his age, his father is already 80 this year, so he is really old. Didn''t expect there to be news again now? According to Lan Weicheng, a group of vagrants was reported in a city in the south. Among them was a very old man who had forgotten many things because of some kind of Alzheimer''s disease. But he still remembers that his family lives in Kyoto, and his surname is Lan. With the help of some caring people in the society, someone contacted the well-known Lan Weicheng in Kyoto, saying that the homeless old man might be his relative. Lan Weicheng''s own parents are gone, and the only thing he can think of is his uncle who disappeared after leaving home, that is, Lan Shengli''s father. "The other side said that the person will be sent back in the next few days, and you will know if it is uncle by then." Lan Shengli could only nod when he heard about it. Although he has no relationship with his father. But he is a son after all, if his father is still alive, he can''t ignore it. His situation is different from that of his wife, Chang Chunfang. Although both of them were abandoned by their families when they were young and sent to the countryside to be educated youths, he is an only child. His daughter-in-law, Chang Chunfang, has many brothers and sisters in her family. After she went to the countryside, she completely cut off contact with her family within a few years, and even stopped contacting her later. The daughter-in-law''s parents are taken care of by brothers and sisters, but he can only come by himself. Thus, Lan Shengli seemed to be very preoccupied at the wedding of his third son. But Chang Chunfang was completely unaware of this. Chang Chunfang was in a happy mood the whole time, seeing her youngest marrying a big star, her happy face was full of smiles~! In this wedding, in addition to the adults sincerely coming to congratulate the couple, among the children, Xiao Qingning also got a lot of candy as she wished. In addition to sharing some with Junjun, she didn''t forget to save some for Dabao. And Meng Dabao, Lan Sibo''s nephew, was unable to attend his uncle''s wedding because of his mother''s reasons. ¡­ At this time, Lan Xinya didn''t know about the news of Lan Sibo''s marriage. Chang Chunfang didn''t tell her about the happy event at home this time, so she didn''t have the chance to show her presence in front of the Lan family. Lan Xinya''s recent business is the same as usual. Although she makes money, she doesn''t make much money. She would always hear that some of her colleagues¡¯ business suddenly became very good, or they did other things and made a lot of money! When Lan Xinya heard these news, she would always envy her eyes, and hated that she didn''t have the opportunity to make a lot of money. Just when she felt that it was not easy to make a lot of money, a colleague who sold clothes, Ms. Sun, told her that there was an investment project. If she was interested, she could try it. Sister Sun, who told her about this, has opened three clothing stores herself, much richer than her! Sister Sun said that she was very optimistic about this project and directly invested 30,000 yuan! Lan Xinya gasped when she heard this¡ª That¡¯s thirty thousand! She has been in business for so many years, plus the money from both parents when she got married and had children, the total is only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. It cost thousands of dollars to buy a house, and only a little more than 20,000 yuan was left. The goods in the store weighed thousands of dollars, and now she only has about 15,000 yuan in cash on hand. Lan Xinya also wants to make money with Sister Sun, but she doesn''t plan to invest as much as Sister Sun. Knowing her thoughts, Sister Sun told her, "Do you know the investment project of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce in Shencheng a few years ago? I have a friend who invested 50,000 yuan at that time, and now it has more than doubled! Deduction of 50,000 yuan With RMB 100,000, he still earned 120,000 to 30,000 yuan!" "You invest less and earn less, so don''t be stingy when you get a chance! Otherwise, you will regret it later when you collect money!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 472: invest Chapter 472 Investments Sister Sun''s words made Lan Xinya think again. Finally, Sister Sun said, "Don''t worry, sister, this project will definitely make money! You don''t know that besides me investing 30,000 yuan, my sister who runs a restaurant has invested 50,000 yuan!" "If we didn''t know how to make money, would we be able to invest in this way? Considering that investors in Shencheng made a lot of money in the past few years, what else do you have to think about?" Hearing this, Lan Xinya was moved. So she gritted her teeth and settled all the money in her hands! Even the store''s sales for the day were taken out, and a total of 15,000 yuan was collected. Lan Xinya has already figured it out, when the time comes, the 150,000 will double to 30,000! Lan Xinya feels that investing is more profitable than doing business by herself! After Lan Xinya handed over 15,000 to Sister Sun and asked her to put the money in for her. The next day, Lan Xinya saw in the newspaper that Yu Xia, the champion of variety shows who was famous on TV in the first half of the year, was actually married! Once a female celebrity gets married, it will affect the future very much. Just thinking about it, Lan Xinya suddenly saw the photo of the celebrity wedding scene in the newspaper. Standing next to the female celebrity Yu Xia was actually that Lan The third child? ! A great star, what can''t be imagined, to marry a pig raiser! But now the only third child in the Lan family that Lan Xinya looks down on, if he can marry a big star, he can be regarded as ascending to heaven with a dog. In addition, Lan Xinya also found out that Chang Chunfang didn''t tell her this time that the Lan family was getting married. Forget it, save her money and follow the gift~! It''s just a pity that I couldn''t attend the wedding of the female star. Otherwise, if she tells the story, it can be used as a source of conversation for the outside world, which is enviable. In the past two years, because of the successive prosperity of the members of the Lan family, Lan Xinya rushed to the Lan family to benefit from it. But now the brothers of the Lan family are not close to me, and my parents are guarding against me again, and they can''t spend much money. So this directly broke Lan Xinya''s idea of ??getting benefits from the Lan family. But not now, there will be opportunities in the future. As the biological daughter of the Lan family, when my parents pass away at an older age, the children will all have the right to divide the family property. Thinking about it, her biological parents must have saved a lot of money after opening the store for so many years, and it will be worthwhile to share some money at that time. Anyway, it is free money. ¡­ When Lan Xinya invested money and waited for the investment to double. In Kyoto, Lan Shengli met his father in his old house that was in disrepair. His father is seventy-eight this year, and will soon be seventy-nine. In this age, he can definitely be called a long-lived man! Having not seen him for more than forty years, Lan Shengli almost didn''t recognize that the old man with loose skin in front of his eyes, deep wrinkles on his face, almost white hair, and few teeth left was the father he hadn''t seen for many years. His father has changed too much, Lan Shengli didn''t want to mistake him for the wrong person, and finally confirmed from a mole growing on his father''s back that this is his father! The old man is too old, his body is bent, and his waist can no longer straighten up. He was old, his mind was already confused, and he didn''t know Lan Shengli. It was only when he heard Lan Shengli say his name and called him father that the old man''s cloudy eyes became a little clearer. "Are you Victory? Why is Victory so old?" "Oh, yes, I''m getting old too." As he spoke, the old man Lan smiled, "Victory, Dad is finally home." The old man Lan has not come back for so many years, not because he does not want to go back, but because he has no money to go home. That''s why he''s reduced to being a **** on the street. Beg for food during the day, and live with a group of homeless people under a bridge hole at night, or in a corner of an alley that can hide from the wind. It¡¯s okay in summer, but it¡¯s too cold in winter. He almost didn¡¯t survive the winter for several years! Fortunately, the homeless can help each other. When it is very cold, two or three of them sleep together, covered with two or three pairs of dark and dirty quilts, and barely survive the winter. Today, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang came to demolish the old house together. Chang Chunfang only found out yesterday that her husband''s father, whom she hadn''t seen for decades and had heard disappeared, has been found again! At such an old age, although the old man can still take care of himself basically, he still needs to be taken care of. Three meals a day, laundry and drying quilts and other tasks, he can''t do it anymore. Otherwise, he wouldn''t look skinny, with little flesh, and could smell a pungent smell from far away. Chang Chunfang himself has never taken care of his parents, and he doesn''t have to take care of them, so when he saw his wife recognized his father, she immediately began to worry about the father''s pension. Selfishly, Chang Chunfang was unwilling to take care of such a strange and dirty old man, but she was the other''s daughter-in-law, so Chang Chunfang was very conflicted. Lan Shengli has already made up his mind in the past few days. After all, his father is old and doesn''t have many years to live. As a son, he should raise his father until he dies. So when Lan Shengli saw his father, he asked, "Father, you can live in the countryside with me from now on." Old man Lan immediately shook his head when he heard this, "This is my home, I''m not going anywhere!" He has been wandering outside for decades and wanted to go home, and now he is finally back. Although the house at home is a dilapidated tile-roofed house decades ago, it has at least four walls and a roof, which is much better than wandering outside. up! He couldn''t bear to leave. The old man is old and his mind is confused, but his desire to go home is firm. Lan Shengli saw this, this is embarrassing! If his father really doesn''t leave, then he will also live in Kyoto, staying with the old man. So he looked up at the three dilapidated houses in his old house, and sighed silently. Chang Chunfang knew what her wife was thinking when she saw it. She pulled her husband aside and whispered, "I don''t live here." Of course, Lan Shengli knew that his guy would not live here. Even if Chunfang went to the countryside to be an educated youth, she was an intellectual because she went to school. She didn''t work in the fields for a few years, so she went to the village primary school as a teacher up. Although they have lived in the countryside for decades, to be honest, they didn''t suffer too much. Even compared to the broken tile houses here, their life in the village is much better than here! So after Lan Shengli was silent for a while, he decided¡ª "Chunfang, my father is back now, and I can''t ignore it. I''ll stay here for a while and see if I can persuade my father to go back to the village with me. If you don''t want to stay, you can go back and live in Linjiang City. , It¡¯s okay to go back to the village.¡± Lan Shengli never thought of letting his wife take care of his father. But Chang Chunfang listened to her wife''s arrangement, but she was still not happy. Especially when his wife said that he would bring his father to their house in the future, Chang Chunfang was really in a bad mood. If that''s the case, she doesn''t even want to stay at home. If you don¡¯t stay at home, where can you go? (end of this chapter) Chapter 473: invest to make money Chapter 473 Investing to make money The eldest son''s house must not be able to live, after all, she and the eldest daughter-in-law are at odds. The second son and daughter-in-law are busy with work, so they can''t help much by themselves, but feel like they''re making trouble for the couple. The youngest son just got married, and the husband and wife are getting along very affectionately. Going alone would be an eyesore, so she wouldn''t do that kind of thing. As for the daughter''s family... Xinya didn''t think about it anymore, Shushu''s house could live there, but Chang Chunfang knew that her old man would definitely not agree with her staying in Shushu''s house all the time. Because my wife said, it¡¯s not like they don¡¯t have a son, so why go to their daughter¡¯s house? Since ancient times, the elderly have been relying on their sons, and they are still able to support themselves at this age, so don''t go to the children''s house to make trouble for others! So Chang Chunfang thought for a while, and found that she had nowhere to go. She could only go back to her own home first, and wait for her wife to bring his father home before making any plans. ¡­ A few days later, Chang Chunfang left Kyoto and returned to Linjiang City. Lan Shengli stayed in Kyoto to take care of his father, Lan Zhengmin. Lan Shu, after she learned that her adoptive father''s biological father was still alive, although she was too busy to come over for the time being, she asked the driver to deliver a lot of food and supplies. Make sure that the adoptive father and his father have food, drink and food for the time being. Old man Lan was overjoyed to see that someone sent so many things, including rice, flour, eggs, vegetables, meat, and clean quilts! This is something that he never dared to think about during the decades of wandering outside! So the old man Lan immediately asked his son, "Victory, who sent these? Are they really for me?" "Yes, Dad, it''s all for you. These are my daughter''s tribute to you." As he spoke, Lan Shengli did not forget to introduce his current heirs to his father. "Father, when I went to the countryside to be an educated youth, I got married and had four children. The eldest, second, and third are all boys, and there is also a little girl." As Lan Shengli said, he thought of his family. Although Lan Xinya is his biological daughter, the precious girl who grew up beside him has always been Shushu. Old man Lan heard that his son has so many children, and the little girl is so filial, Old man Lan is very happy for his son. At the same time, he is also very happy. "I actually have three grandsons and a granddaughter~" Just like that, the old man Lan was grateful for the kindness of his little granddaughter, and always talked about her little granddaughter. ¡­ On the other side, Lan Xinya, the granddaughter of the old man Lan, has been waiting for the news of the increase in investment income after investing. She will meet with Sister Sun almost every week to learn about the investment development. So much so that she didn''t have much thought about running her own clothing store. So the business of the clothing store has been worse recently than before. After one month, Lan Xinya did the math after deducting the wages of the employees employed in the store and the cost of renting the storefront. She only earned more than 110 yuan this month! That¡¯s a direct one-third less than last month! And this kind of income is almost the same as the wages paid by experienced workers in some factories with good profits. Just when she felt that the small amount of money she made was not enough to look at, the clerk employed in her store also proposed to raise her salary. The salary she paid to the shop assistants was 60 yuan a month. This kind of salary was not bad in the past few years, but starting this year, the wages of workers everywhere have risen, and the average salary in Kyoto has reached more than 90. , In his early 100s. And the little clerk in her store is still holding sixty yuan, so people will laugh at such a salary! The little girl who looked after Lan Xinya''s shop was Tao Qingqing. She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so at first she felt that the salary was a little low, but when everyone else raised their salary, the boss would always give her a raise. But Tao Qingqing waited from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, but she didn''t wait for a salary increase from the boss, as if the boss had selectively forgotten about it! ¡ª So facing her family¡¯s dislike for her low salary, and her brother¡¯s getting married and getting a wife to wait for the money to be used, she proposed a salary increase under all kinds of urging. When Lan Xinya heard this, she certainly didn''t want to give Tao Qingqing a raise! The higher the price, the less money she earns! So she fired Tao Qingqing directly, and wanted to find a new employee who didn''t think the salary was low. Lan Xinya feels that there are so many people who need to work now, she is not afraid that she will not be able to recruit people. But when she was recruiting people, she found out that with the salary she offered, none of the people who came to her to find a job were young girls, all of them were old women in their forties or fifties. Lan Xinya didn''t think too much about it, she thought it was enough if someone could use it, so she picked a slightly younger, forty-five-year-old middle-aged woman to come to the store to help her sell clothes. Lan Xinya believes that all the people who come to her store are regular customers, and it doesn''t matter how old the clerk is. But after a while, Lan Xinya found that her business has gotten worse since the store changed to a new clerk! In half a month, not many clothes were sold in the store! She sat down and calculated the accounts carefully, only to find that the total money earned in the store in the past half month was only fifty or sixty yuan. After deducting half a month''s wages of the clerk, the money earned is only more than 20 yuan and less than 30 yuan¡ª¡ª If things go on like this, wouldn''t she earn less than a hundred yuan a month from opening the store? The hard work of opening a store is not as profitable as others working in a factory, so what''s the point of her opening a store? Fortunately, at this time, news came from Sister Sun, saying that she had already seen a profit from her previous investment of 15,000. Now it is estimated to be 18,000 with principal and interest, so I asked her if she should continue to invest more? In one and a half months, she earned 3,000 yuan. This kind of good news finally made up for Lan Xinya''s disappointment in making money when she opened a clothing store. At this time, Lan Xinya also understood what Sister Sun said before, she would definitely regret it if she voted less. When Sister Sun asked her if she wanted to vote again, of course Lan Xinya wanted to vote! But she has no money. Seeing her hesitation, Sister Sun said again, "Sister, anyway, whether you vote or not, I''m going to vote again. I recently cleared out the goods in several stores, and sold two more stores. Seven or eight thousand yuan came out." "I understand it. How can I make money by investing in business?" Seeing what Sister Sun said, Lan Xinya also had the idea of ??going out of the shop. Because her store does not make much money, if it continues like this, the monthly profit will not be as much as an ordinary factory job. So she asked Sister Sun to help her find out if anyone was willing to take over the clothing store. Sister Sun has just listed two stores, so of course there are connections! On the second day after Lan Xinya asked her to, she helped Lan Xinya find the next shop who was interested in picking up a clothing store. Because it is an inventory store, of course the goods in the store cannot be sold at the original price, and some even sell out at half the purchase price. In the end, in Lan Xinya''s store, the inventory plus the store transfer fee received a total of 3,000 yuan. She directly gave the three thousand yuan to Sister Sun, and added it to her previous investment of fifteen thousand. (end of this chapter) Chapter 474: Comeback? Chapter 474 A comeback? Without the store, Lan Xinya has nothing to worry about, and she is waiting for the money invested to double in interest~! But before doubling, Lan Xinya found that she had basically invested all her money, and the little she had left was only enough for her expenses for less than a month. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and she plans to withdraw a little interest on the investment money for living expenses before the Chinese New Year, and continue to put the rest in it for compound interest. When Lan Xinya ran out of money, she was going to find Sister Sun and asked Sister Sun to help her withdraw some money, but she found that she couldn''t get through to Sister Sun! Lan Xinya sent a message to Sister Sun''s mobile phone with a pager, but she waited for a long time, but there was no reply to the message. Unable to contact Sister Sun, Lan Xinya suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart! Her heart was beating wildly, and she ran to look for someone in the clothing store that Sister Sun had opened before. But I was told that Sister Sun had sold her clothing stores one after another since half a year ago. Moreover, it was not two companies that were sold out, but all three companies were sold out. This news made Lan Xinya feel even worse! So she went to Sister Sun''s house to look for someone, but the door of Sister Sun''s house was locked, and no one opened it no matter how she knocked. Later, the neighbors told Lan Xinya that the family was not from the local area, and had sold their house last month and returned to their hometown. I heard that Sister Sun¡¯s hometown is a small county, but no one knows which city or county it is. Hearing these words, Lan Xinya suddenly realized that she had been deceived? Fortunately, she heard Sister Sun talk about the investment project before, so she went to the investment company to find someone to ask her investment money. But when she found a place, she found that the investment company was long gone! There are more than a dozen people like her who invested money before, but can''t find an investment company now, and found themselves cheated, crying at the door of the empty investment company about their tragic experience. But when encountering this kind of thing, even if you cry again, it will not help. At this time, Lan Xinya realized that she had met a scammer! Thanks to her trusting the other party so much, all the money she had saved over the years was now all cheated out! Lan Xinya couldn''t bear such a blow, and fainted at the gate of the investment company on the spot¡ª ¡­ When Lan Xinya woke up, she was in the hospital. Entering the hospital is a matter of spending money. Lan Xinya had no money, and she couldn''t even pay the discharge fee from the hospital. Later, in desperation, she had no choice but to contact Tao Qingqing, the clerk who worked in her shop before, thinking that she and Tao Qingqing had known each other for almost two years, and hoped that Tao Qingqing would help her to advance the money in the hospital first. Will pay back later. Tao Qingqing is a kind girl. When she heard the news, she wanted to come to the hospital to see Lan Xinya, the former boss, but her family did not agree. "People have fired you, so what are you still rushing to do?" Tao Qingqing''s mother stopped her daughter, so Lan Xinya couldn''t wait for Tao Qingqing to pay her medical expenses. Later, Lan Xinya tried to contact her biological mother, Chang Chunfang, but when she called Chang Chunfang''s home in Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang just went out to buy groceries, and she didn''t hear the phone ringing at all. Lan Xinya even told the nurses in the hospital that her brother''s daughter-in-law is a big star, and hoped that the hospitalization fee would be exempted. But who would believe such words? In the end, Lan Xinya had no choice but to contact the owner of the clothing store she sold out, and borrowed ten yuan from him. At the beginning, the other party took her shop for 3,000 yuan, so 10 yuan was nothing to the boss, so he kindly lent it to her. After paying the hospitalization fee with the hospital, Lan Xinya only had three yuan left. Thinking of all her savings being scammed, Lan Xinya was heartbroken! But no matter how sad she was, she didn''t dare to faint again. Because she couldn''t afford the hospital bill after she fainted. How she will continue to live in the future has become a question for Lan Xinya to consider. She has thought about finding a job, and returning to her old job to work as a secretary in the factory. But she was able to work as a secretary ten years ago because her family entrusted her to her, and she was young and beautiful, at least the boss didn''t hate her. But now, she is full of fat and nearly 30 years old, but she looks older than 40 years old. There are many excellent talents in the factory to apply for, why choose her? Lan Xinya tried to work as a secretary in several factories, but was rejected. Finally, she found that even when she became a worker, she didn''t have the recruitment quota for her. With more than three yuan in her hand, Lan Xinya can''t last long even if she eats white steamed buns every day. Soon, she ran out of money! If she can''t think of a way to make money again, Lan Xinya thinks she might starve to death! She calculated all the things around her, and found that she only had one house left. And judging from the current market price, this house can be sold for at least six or seven thousand yuan! If she gets the six or seven thousand yuan, she thinks she can open a clothing store again! In order to survive and make a comeback, Lan Xinya asked someone to sell the house. This house is not far from Huamei Shopping Mall, and the location is really good, so it quickly found a buyer. The house she bought for 5,300 yuan at the beginning, a few years later, she bought it for 6,400 yuan, which is considered a small profit. After receiving the money, Lan Xinya rented a flat nearby, and then looked for a shop in the mall. It''s a pity that the economy is developing well now, and the shopping malls are doing well. As long as you open a store, you can make money, and there is no loss of money, so no one is willing to transfer the store out. Lan Xinya searched for a few days but couldn''t find a suitable store. In the end, she could only rent a storefront in a private house near the shopping mall, and renovated it herself as a small storefront to sell clothes. The business of such a front shop may not be as good as that of a shopping mall, but if small profits are made but quick turnover, and regular customers are gradually accumulated, the business can also grow. Lan Xinya was decorating and buying goods from other places. By the time she opened the clothing store, it was less than a week before the Chinese New Year. Before the Chinese New Year, she finally sold some clothes. At least the money in hand is no longer in a state of only going out but not getting in. Lan Xinya was cheated, neither Lan Weicheng nor Lan Shengli in the Lan family knew. Lan Xinya didn''t tell them because she hadn''t been in touch with her adoptive parents for many years, and even if she came to the door, she might not be able to please them. On the contrary, he might be laughed at. She didn''t even think about her biological parents. She knew that Lan Shengli was on guard against her. She called Chang Chunfang before but the other party didn''t answer, which already showed their attitude. Lan Xinya, who fell down once, was not discouraged, she believed that she would be able to stand up again! And she also believes that one day, the law enforcement team will catch those scammers and get her money back! (end of this chapter) Chapter 475: Borderline Chapter 475 Sense of Boundary On the day of Chinese New Year, Lan Shu was very lively. This year, the eldest brother¡¯s family of three, and the third brother and his wife are all in Kyoto, so when the brothers and sisters are together, they plan to celebrate the New Year together. Lan Shu had dinner with her brother and sister-in-law on her thirtieth year, and went to Wei''s house on the first day of the new year to visit Xiaobai''s grandfather, grandmother, and parents. In the second year of junior high school, I went back to the home of my biological parents. Before I went, I brought a lot of gifts and supplements, and got along well with my biological parents. In addition to the three siblings, Lan Shengli also stayed with his father in the old house in Kyoto. Old man Lan is old after all. Since returning home, his health has not been very good, and he has to be taken care of all the time. During the past few days of Chinese New Year, he was in a good state of mind. In the third day of junior high school, three brothers and sisters, Lan Shu, Lan Dazhuang, and Lan Sibo, brought their families and visited their grandfather, Old Man Lan. Old man Lan has always been thinking about his little granddaughter who brought him rice, noodles, eggs and meat. When he saw someone today, old man Lan''s happy eyes never left his little granddaughter for a moment. He just watched, but didn''t approach. Because the old blue man who has been a homeless man outside for decades knows very well that when he is dirty, others will hate him when he sees him, and he doesn''t want to get close to him at all. Even if he has returned home now, has a place to take a bath and changed into clean clothes, but he is used to the life of a homeless man, and he instinctively feels that he is not clean. Lan Shu probably saw what the old man Lan was thinking, and the other party''s sense of boundary made Lan Shu have a good impression of his adoptive father. If the old man Lan is very enthusiastic about himself, then Lan Shu will feel embarrassed. Because she doesn''t know each other, this is just the first meeting. All she knew about old man Lan was that this old man was her adoptive father''s real father. If she is Lan Shengli''s biological daughter, then old man Lan is her grandfather. But she is not, so the relationship is not that close, and she doesn''t have to force herself to get close to others. Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo also had the same idea as Lan Shu. Even though the two of them are the grandsons of the old man Lan, they have never seen their grandfather before, nor heard that they have a grandfather, so it is impossible for them to get close to him after meeting. It is enough for the two of them to have filial piety towards this old man. So this time they came, they brought a lot of chicken, duck, fish, and meat, and they also brought bags and barrels of rice, flour, grain and oil to the old house. Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo have inquired about it. Their grandfather used to be frightened of hunger, and what he likes most is not exquisite gifts and supplements, but things that can really fill his stomach. At noon, during the meal at Lan''s old house, Lan Shengli and Lan Dazhuang were the chefs, Xiaobai went to help, and the three big men gathered a large table of dishes! Everyone gathered together and had a delicious meal before leaving. ¡­ On the other side, Linjiang City. This year, Chang Chunfang lived with her second son and three people. Before Chinese New Year, her wife actually called her and asked her if she would like to come to Kyoto for Chinese New Year. Chang Chunfang really can''t accept that she has to take care of strange old people after she passes away! She was living a good life alone in Linjiang City during this time, so she found an excuse not to go to Kyoto. Lan Shengli could probably guess what his wife was thinking, so he didn''t force himself. When Lan Xiuming learned that his mother was going to stay in Linjiang City alone this year, he offered to let his mother come to celebrate the New Year with him, his wife and son. So Chang Chunfang is not so lonely this year. Moreover, the second daughter-in-law Tian Na treated her well, which made Chang Chunfang very happy. She even thought, if her wife brought her father to Linjiang City, could she live with her second son''s family for a while? But Chang Chunfang didn''t know that distance produces beauty. She occasionally goes to live with her son''s house, which is okay. If she stays for a long time, most daughters-in-law will be unhappy. It''s not that Tian Na doesn''t support the elderly, but it''s not the time to support her. Their young people live with the elders, it will definitely be inconvenient. At this stage, Tian Na only wants to spend a warm little life as a family of three with her man and son. ¡­ After the new year, the economic development in the new year will be better than the previous year. This year, the wages of workers in big cities have risen to a certain extent, and even in small counties, they have risen somewhat. From the previous wages of more than 60 yuan, the wages of workers have risen to their early 70s. Wages have risen, and people''s living standards have also improved. Doing business at this time is quite profitable. Last year, the total assets of Langu Group increased by one-third compared with previous years, and it is expected to achieve better results this year. Haicheng, Gu Cheng is not focusing on the real estate company anymore. On the surface, he is the boss of a small construction company, but behind the scenes, his power is quietly developing in the dark of Haicheng. Gu Cheng found that it is more profitable to be in the black industry than the original real estate company. In just half a year, he has earned more money than the previous real estate company made in a year and a half! If this continues, even if his financial resources are not easy to catch up with Gu Jue and Lan Shu, as his power develops, he will always have the day to avenge himself! While Gu Cheng was planning to deal with Lan Shu and Gu Jue in the future, Xu Yunjie, who had left Gu Cheng to set up his own family, encountered some trouble in Shencheng. ¡­ In Shencheng, a place full of opportunities, Xu Yunjie recruited some people at the beginning, and became a contractor quite smoothly. But he found that the projects he could win were the same as those in Haicheng, only some small self-built houses, and there were many peer competitions. Other larger construction projects have been divided up by some large real estate companies! Never had his chance¡ª Xu Yunjie thought of many ways to do this. He invites people to dinner and builds contacts, just to open up relationships and win bigger construction projects. Xu Yunjie''s behavior of trying to touch other people''s ''cake'' behind the scenes is simply breaking the rules! He didn''t know that what he did caused dissatisfaction from other real estate companies. Therefore, an old real estate company in Shencheng began to target him, making him unable to get along in the construction industry of Shencheng! These days, Lan Shu happened to be on a business trip to Shencheng. Lan Shu came to Shencheng this time not only to see the development of Yunshu Garment Factory in Shencheng, but also to learn about her other industries in Shencheng. In recent years, besides the headquarters building of Langu Group in Kyoto, a building has also been built in Shencheng as the group''s Shencheng branch. All departments within the group have developed to a certain extent in Shencheng, especially the real estate department, the film and television department, and the garment factory have the best development. After Lan Shu met with the head of the department for a meeting today, during the break, she overheard a small secretary of the real estate department mentioning a name¡ª "That Xu Yunjie really doesn''t know what''s good and what''s wrong, and he offended the people of Longfei Real Estate Company. Now he will definitely not be able to survive in the construction industry in Shencheng!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 476: Envious The name Xu Yunjie made Lan Shu stop immediately. Beside her, Liu Axing, the deputy general manager who followed her on a business trip to Shencheng, immediately understood what her boss was thinking. After Liu Axing went forward to inquire, she was able to confirm that Xu Yunjie, who had worked in machinery in Qingyang County and later went to Linjiang City to develop, is now in Shencheng! Liu Axing is well aware that the relationship between her boss and Xu Yunjie is very bad, and in the current situation, it feels a bit narrow. And when Lan Shu learned that Xu Yunjie had left Haicheng and came to Shencheng to develop, she knew that Xu Yunjie must have parted ways with Gu Cheng. Xu Yunjie wants to come to Shencheng to find opportunities for development, Lan Shu can understand this. only¡­ Whether he can continue to develop is not certain! Even if Longfei Real Estate Company did not target him, Lan Shu would not allow Xu Yunjie to develop in Shencheng! A scumbag like Xu Yunjie, she has been black all her life! Lan Shu knew that as long as Xu Yunjie made a fortune in his career, he would inevitably appear in front of her and disgust her in the future. So Lan Shu told the person in charge of the real estate department of their group in Shencheng that the company should pay more attention to the Xu Yunjie targeted by Longfei Real Estate Company, and at the right time, they can also add insult to injury¡ª The person in charge of the real estate department in Shencheng will certainly take things arranged by the boss to heart. Although I don''t know what kind of feud between Xu Yunjie and the boss, but just this sentence, it is already doomed that Xu Yunjie will not be able to get along in the construction industry in Shencheng! At this time, Xu Yunjie didn''t know that besides solving Longfei Real Estate Company''s malice towards him, he also had to face the ''blocking'' of him in the industry by a bigger real estate company than Longfei Real Estate Company! ¡­ March passed, April came. Xiao Qingning is already eight years old. In Kyoto, there was a piano competition recently. With the encouragement of the piano teacher, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng both participated. Eight-year-old Gu Qingning and seven-and-a-half-year-old Lan Juncheng were divided into the children''s group. After passing the preliminary round, semi-finals, and subsequent finals, the two won first and second place respectively! After all, Xiao Qingning had to learn piano for three years more than Junjun, so even if Junjun''s level improved quickly, he was still slightly behind Xiao Qingning. Xiao Qingning, who won the first place, is very happy. Next, she and Junjun will go abroad to participate in the international piano competition as champions and runners-up. For a child, going abroad is an extremely novel thing. Going out to compete represents honor! So both Xiao Qingning and Junjun are looking forward to their next international competition. Because their daughter and nephew are going abroad, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai tacitly deal with the affairs around them, spare time, and take the children abroad to participate in the competition. Tang Chu, she was also very proud of her son''s runner-up result in the piano competition. Knowing that Lan Shu and his wife would accompany their daughter to go abroad, Tang Chu was also moved. So she discussed with her husband, and planned to accompany her son to a foreign country. Apart from competitions, she also wanted to see the world. Lan Dazhuang saw that his wife was so persistent, he thought about it, and agreed. Half a month later, the two families and six people got their passports and followed the race party on the plane to go abroad¡ª ¡­ Europe, Seine City. After the plane landed, the contestants followed the race party to rest in the hotel prepared by the race organizer. There are three groups in this piano competition, Children''s Group, Junior Group and Youth Group. In each group, only the champions and runners-up of each country are eligible to participate. Except for the children''s group, there are not many family members who go abroad with the contestants in other domestic groups. Because the travel of this competition, except for the participants themselves, the rest are at their own expense, so not many families can afford the cost of going abroad. It is already a lot of expenses to come out alone, let alone the situation where both parents come. So Lan Shu and Lan Dazhuang came together, which surprised everyone in the domestic competition. What surprised the competition even more was that not long after arriving at the hotel, the parents of the children''s contestant Gu Qingning, the family of three did not eat the team meal. The middle-aged white man warmly greeted Gu Qingning''s parents. "Oh~ Lan Shu, you are finally here! I have been waiting for this day for ten years!" As Mark said, he was about to step forward to give his friend a hug. But Xiaobai took a step forward and blocked him. Seeing Xiaobai, Mark kept walking, smiled and hugged another friend in front of him. Mark was the technician who came to the factory with the machine to train the use of the machine when Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory bought sanitary napkin production machines in foreign machine factories. More than ten years have passed, and he has gone from being a technician to the middle-level leader of the technical department of the machine factory. Mark''s initial performance was inseparable from Lan Shu''s demand for purchasing machines, so Lan Shu helped him in his career, and the two became good friends at that time. And Xiaobai was an apprentice Mark taught in the toilet paper factory back then, an apprentice with strong learning ability, which Mark remembered deeply! Mark was amazed when the apprentice ended up becoming the majority shareholder of the toilet paper mill! Now that we meet again after a long absence, Mark looks very excited. In fact, this kind of excitement started two days ago when Lan Shu called him to say that he was coming to Europe, and he was looking forward to meeting Lan Shu. Now seeing Lan Shu, after hugging Xiao Bai, Mark praised Lan Shu without hesitation. "Lan Shu, after so many years, you are more beautiful than before!" "I really don''t know what kind of man can have you." "Lan Shu, you must spend more time when you come to Europe this time. I will take you on a tour of Europe. I believe you will like this country." Maybe it¡¯s been a long time since we saw each other, especially Mark talked a lot. Lan Shu didn''t think there was anything wrong, but Xiao Bai frowned slightly. "Mark, Lan Shu is married." He said. Obviously, from Mark''s words just now, it can be heard that he still doesn''t know about Lan Shu''s marriage. As for Mark''s performance, apart from the friendship between friends, isn''t he testing his wife''s feelings emotionally? At this moment, Xiaobai can be sure that although Mark is in his thirties now, he must be single! Maybe Mark had a relationship history before, but he is definitely not married now. Hearing Xiaobai''s words, Mark was stunned. "Who? Who can be lucky enough to marry such an excellent woman as Lan Shu?" Xiaobai didn''t answer Mark''s question, but took a step closer to his wife, put his hand on his wife''s waist, and held her in his arms. Then he raised his head slightly and looked at Mark. Such a move is enough to explain everything¡ª Mark opened his mouth slightly in surprise when he saw this. "Oh my god~ Xiaobai, you are so lucky!" Lucky made him a little envious. What Mark envied even more was yet to come. Xiao Bai raised his hand, put the palm of the other hand on the head of a beautiful little girl beside him and rubbed it, "Mark, this is our daughter, Gu Qingning." Mark: ! ! "Even my daughter is so old!" He is really envious~! Chapter 477: Improperly taken advantage of Chapter 477 Improperly taken advantage of No one thought that Gu Qingning''s parents knew foreign friends, and they seemed to have a good relationship? This is the first time for most parents to go abroad and they are quite unfamiliar with foreign countries. The foreign relations of Gu Qingning''s parents are suddenly highlighted¡ª This made the parents who also brought their children to participate in the competition a little more scrutiny on the Gu family couple. Lanshu and Xiaobai don''t care what other people think of them. At noon, under the warm invitation of Mark, the two had dinner with their daughter in a nearby high-end restaurant. As for the three Lan Dazhuang who came abroad with Lan Shu''s family of three, Mark met Lan Dazhuang more than ten years ago and knew that Lan Dazhuang was Lan Shu''s elder brother. Originally, he also invited Lan Dazhuang and his wife to have dinner with their son, but they were too embarrassed to go. Other people¡¯s politeness is still a sincere invitation, and Lan Dazhuang can still tell that the younger sister¡¯s friends are mainly to invite the younger sister and brother-in-law to get together, so there is no need for him to follow. Beside Lan Shu, Xiao Qingning knew for the first time that her parents had foreign friends. For this foreign uncle, the children were very curious. And knowing that Lan Shu and Xiao Bai came to Europe this time to take their children to participate in the piano competition, Mark expressed great praise to Xiao Qingning! "Xiao Qingning is really amazing! She is indeed Lan Shu''s daughter!" Mark almost trusted Lan Shu''s ability blindly! In his eyes, Lan Shu is very powerful, especially in business, she can be said to be omnipotent. So Lan Shu''s daughter should naturally be excellent. When it came to doing business, Mark suddenly became energetic, "Lan Shu, I have already said that with your ability, you should develop abroad and make a lot of money internationally." Mark still didn''t give up the idea of ??inviting Lan Shu to do business abroad. He felt that a business genius like Lan Shu should develop on a bigger stage! Hearing Mark''s invitation, Lan Shu was not completely out of ideas. When her garment factory opened a branch in Shencheng two years ago, she planned to export jeans abroad, but because there was no external relationship channel, the business of exporting clothing was delayed. This time when she came abroad, Lan Shu came to accompany her daughter in the competition, but if there is a business opportunity, of course it can be icing on the cake. So Lan Shu asked Mark if he had any contacts in the clothing industry. Mark is the small leader of the machine factory. The sales of all kinds of machines in the factory have to go through him. Therefore, for some foreign companies and manufacturers that purchase sewing machines, Mark certainly has contact information. It''s just that if you want to invite those people, you must use favors. Because it was Lan Shu who asked him for help, Mark was willing to use his relationship for Lan Shu. He immediately agreed, "No problem, leave it to me, Lan Shu, I''ll make arrangements for you to meet the other party." Lan Shu is very grateful for Mark''s help. And her gratitude is more than just words. After the clothing export business is negotiated, she should say that she will prepare. Everyone had a very happy meal at noon. And Xiao Qingning is also the first time to see her mother can talk to foreigners like this, confident and dazzling. During this process, Xiao Qingning''s eyes were attracted by her mother''s every move, every word and every action. She used to only know that her mother started a company, but now, Xiao Qingning finds that her mother is far more powerful than she imagined! This made her take her mother as an example even more. As a mother''s daughter, she hopes that she can become better and make her mother proud of herself! After lunch, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai separated from Mark, going back to the hotel to rest. The piano competition starts tomorrow, and in the morning is the competition for the children''s group, so the children participating today must have a good rest, so that they can show their best state by then. Backing back to the hotel, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were about to take their daughter back to the room, but in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, they ran into someone from the domestic competition party who took the children to compete abroad this time. "Gu Qingning''s parents, can we have a chat?" The person who came was a woman in her thirties, slightly fat, wearing glasses, she looked plain on the outside, but her eyes were shining brightly. When she came, she talked directly to Xiao Bai, leaving Lan Shu aside the whole time. Because in her opinion, a man is the head of the family, and a man''s words are more useful than a woman''s. Even though she is a woman herself, deep in her heart she feels that men are better than women. Xiaobai recognized the other party''s identity, and regarding the purpose of the person in front of him, he asked casually, "What''s the matter?" The woman immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Gu, I am the team leader of the youth group of our competition. I saw you communicating with foreigners at the entrance of the hotel before. You must be familiar with them?" "It''s like this. This is the first time we''ve gone abroad to compete on behalf of our country. After the competition, we still have plenty of time. We can visit for a day." "If the children can understand the situation abroad and broaden their horizons, then this trip will be worthwhile, but because we are not familiar with the place, I hope Mr. Gu can contact your friends abroad and find a guide for us. " This kind of request is actually nothing more than helping to find a guide. Even if Xiaobai doesn''t ask Mark for help, he can just spend some money and hire someone. So he nodded and agreed, "Yes." Hearing his answer, the woman was very happy, so she asked again, "Mr. Gu, we can''t go to places that are too expensive because of limited funds..." "Then find a park nearby." Lan Shu took the conversation. Traveling abroad requires money everywhere. Car rides here are more expensive than in China, and tickets to various attractions are not cheap, so it is impossible to travel around without spending money. "But just wandering around, it''s really a waste of this opportunity for the children to go abroad! Mr. Gu, can you think of other ways?" The middle-aged woman said, and then her eyes fell on On Gu Qingning''s father. There was an obvious hint in that look and tone, and they almost said that they had no money, but wanted to go to a good scenic spot, and asked the parents of the children to pay for it. Presumably, she had inquired about their identities before she said these words. Knowing that Gu Qingning''s parents are rich, they are not short of money at all. But such a request sounds ridiculous to Lan Shu. She and Xiaobai are willing to help find a guide, even if it costs money, but it is impossible to bear the travel expenses of everyone in the competition group. It''s not that she is stingy, but why? She doesn''t know anyone else in the competition team, so she has no reason to spend money for others. The woman in front of her can tell that the funds are limited, and she has to ask them to find someone to take everyone out for fun. It is no longer necessary to explain where the expenses come from. They are not short of money, but they cannot be taken advantage of. (end of this chapter) Chapter 478: come back next year Chapter 478 Come back next year Xiao Bai at the side also heard the meaning of the middle-aged woman in front of him. His gaze sank, and he frowned slightly. Xiaobai never thought that a woman who could be regarded as a stranger would actually make such a rude request. His thinking is the same as his wife''s, and he can''t just squander it at will just because their family has money. So Xiaobai immediately said to the woman, "I will help you find a guide. As for where to go and how much your budget is, you can communicate with the guide at that time." The implication is that how much money you have, you can go as far as you can. As for him, his wife and daughter... "After the competition is over, we still have some business abroad, so we won''t go back to China with the competition team." Xiaobai said. One thing the woman said is right. Since you are here, you should take a good look around and let the children broaden their horizons. So he will take his daughter around to see more. After saying this, Xiaobai said without waiting for the woman to say anything else, "We have to go back to rest, and the guide will contact you the day after tomorrow." Then he took his daughter''s hand and put his arms around his wife''s waist, and the family of three walked upstairs¡ª The woman behind her was full of displeasure, thinking that rich people are really stingy! ¡­ Early the next morning, Xiao Qingning got up and put on a white heavy-duty small trailing gauze skirt with short front and long back, put on a coat, went downstairs to have breakfast with her parents, and waited to go to the competition venue. Today is the beginning of the piano competition. The contestants, regardless of whether they are in the children''s group, the junior group or the youth group, will wear decent clothes. This little dress is the competition costume that Lan Shu prepared for her daughter. Get ready, everyone get in the car and go to the competition location. In a large auditorium in the city of Seine, contestants from all over the world gathered together, and everyone performed on the stage in sequence according to the sequence number. The children''s group is at the forefront. There are more than 20 contestants who are qualified to reach this stage. Xiao Qingning''s playing rank is in the middle and late stages, and Junjun''s playing rank is ahead of Xiao Qingning. To be honest, this order of appearance is not good, because the judges are already tired of their ears. Unless it is a particularly outstanding performance, it will not attract the attention of the judges at all, and there is no way to get a high score. But even knowing this, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai couldn''t change anything. All they can do is tell their daughter¡ª "Little Qingning, come on!" "Just perform normally on stage." The contestants in the children''s group came on the stage one by one, and each performed and scored for a few minutes. After an hour, it was Junjun who came on stage. Junjun is less than eight years old this year, and he is the youngest contestant in the children''s group. He is wearing a small black suit and black tie, and looks like a little gentleman. Knowing his age, the judges in the audience looked at him twice more, and then Junjun''s performance began! Junjun has not been learning piano for a long time, only two years, but his playing level is already better than many contestants in the children''s group who have just competed. At the end of the song, Junjun got a good score. And the next one, it''s time for Xiao Qingning to play. Xiao Qingning, who was wearing a white sleeveless dress and gauze skirt, stepped onto the stage in milky white leather shoes. Before her performance began, she had already attracted the attention of many judges. Not for other reasons, just because the little girl is so beautiful! Like a pure and flawless little angel! Such beauty is not only about her appearance, but also her outfit, which is quite dazzling under the lights of the stage! Placed among the contestants in the children''s group, her appearance gives the intuitive impression, and she can definitely be called outstanding! When she sat in front of the piano and began to perform, Xiao Qingning showed her five-year learning achievements, and finally got unanimous high marks from the judges. After the contestants in the children''s group performed one by one, the results of the competition will not be announced until all the contestants in the other groups have finished. But even though the final result is not known yet, judging from Xiao Qingning''s performance on the spot, her results should be good. "Congratulations, Mr. Lan, Gu Qingning played very well." While Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were sitting in the audience watching other teams'' matches, a youth team leader from the domestic competition happened to be sitting in front of them, and turned his head and said. For other people''s compliments, Xiaobai responded politely and said, "Thank you." The leading teacher of the youth group smiled and didn¡¯t say anything more. Instead, he turned around and listened carefully to the performances of the other contestants. The piano competition lasted quite a long time. There was an hour and a half break in the middle, and the competition was finished after three o''clock in the afternoon. Afterwards is the awards ceremony. Although Xiao Qingning played very well, she only took second place in the children''s group. Junjun didn''t even make the top three. However, before the competition, everyone did not expect to win the championship in one fell swoop. Such a result was expected, but Xiao Qingning''s ranking was a surprise. Junjun failed to enter the top three, feeling a little disappointed, but fortunately Xiao Qingning said from the side, "Cousin, let''s come back next year!" Xiao Qingning felt that she hadn¡¯t played her best when she performed on stage, so she was looking forward to the next competition. Junjun nodded when he heard what Cousin Qingning said. Next time, he will definitely perform better! After the competition that brought together piano contestants from many countries ended, Xiaobai returned to the hotel, just as he said before, he found a guide to meet with the people from the competition party, and arranged for the tour itinerary for the next day. And he plans to take his wife and daughter around and play for a few more days. Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu originally wanted to take their son to play together, but Junjun was not in a good mood and wanted to go home to practice the piano, so the three of them returned home early. After Lan Shu''s family of three spent two days abroad, Mark arranged for several people in the clothing sales industry to meet Lan Shu. In order to find these people, Mark first contacted several leaders of garment factories that cooperated with their machine factory, and after making friends with each other, he met these salesmen under the introduction of the other party. Introducing these people to Lan Shu, Mark would offend the people in the foreign garment factory, but he still did it. With Mark''s matchmaking, Lan Shu has full confidence in the strength of their garment factory. After connecting with several salesmen in the foreign clothing industry, Lan Shu invited them to go to Shencheng to see her factory if they had time. Several people came here for Mark''s sake. But I saw Miss Lan, and a tall and straight man beside her who was comparable to a top model, and a girl dressed like a little princess beside them. The clothes on the three of them are synonymous with nobility and fashion at a glance. So they are very interested in the clothing export business that Miss Lan mentioned. Decided to go to the country where Ms. Lan is located in a while, and have a look at the clothing styles in her factory. (end of this chapter) Chapter 479: loss Chapter 479 Loss A few days later, the trip abroad ended, and Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned home with their daughter. This time going abroad, besides the piano competition, Xiao Qingning also visited many famous scenic spots abroad to appreciate the customs of western countries. For the first time, eight-year-old children realize the vastness of the world and know that there is another world abroad. But Xiao Qingning still likes the place where she lived and grew up the most. Although some foreign buildings are also magnificent, in terms of grandeur, the Forbidden City near her home and the Great Wall on the outskirts of Kyoto are truly unique! After returning to China, Xiao Qingning not only increased her knowledge abroad, but also realized her own shortcomings, and became more serious about piano practice. She has set goals for herself. In the next competition, she must perform better than now! After Xiao Qingning resumed her previous study and life, Lan Shu also became busy. The foreigners she met abroad who were in the clothing business came to China one after another not long after. Lan Shu went to meet her in person, took her around the garment factory in Shencheng, and when they left, the factory placed a large order! The promotion of clothing export business has finally taken the first step! ¡­ Shencheng, Xu Yunjie''s small company has been unable to get work, and the wages of the engineering team workers seem to be unable to pay. Seeing this, the workers naturally wanted to find another way out. So in just a few days, the engineering team that Xu Yunjie formed by himself, originally had forty or fifty people, but now there are only four or five left. What kind of engineering team is four or five people? It is that there are not enough manpower to build some small houses. In such a situation, what else does Xu Yunjie not understand? He knew he was being targeted! But only Longfei Real Estate Company can suppress its own small construction team to this point? Xu Yunjie didn''t think about which company he had offended. He just felt that he had no foundation in Shencheng, and it was too difficult to get along! So should I leave Shencheng and find another small city to develop? This matter has become something that Xu Yunjie has been thinking about recently. ¡­ Haicheng on the other side. Gu Cheng, who is no longer obsessed with real estate companies, but walks the black industry chain, has recently become more prosperous in business and has made a lot of money in his hands. But what followed was that his business grew bigger and bigger, which inevitably attracted the attention of law enforcement agencies. So a settlement of the black industry in Haicheng began like this¡ª It is not an easy task for Gu Cheng to struggle to survive in the face of payment, so he has been devastated recently. As the drug consultant of the law enforcement system, Xiaobai also learned about Gu Cheng''s recent restlessness in Haicheng. He really didn''t expect Gu Cheng''s ''life force'' to be so strong! Without the real estate company, other businesses developed in the blink of an eye. However, this business is not the right way. On Xiaobai''s side, he will fully cooperate with the law enforcement department of Haicheng to test the drugs in various night entertainment venues in Haicheng. In order to protect himself, Gu Cheng picked himself up in all kinds of things. In the end, although Gu Cheng lost some profits, he himself was safe and sound. Even though Xiaobai knew that Gu Cheng''s hands were dirty, the law enforcement team couldn''t find any favorable evidence to bring him to justice, so he couldn''t move Gu Cheng casually. In one month, Haicheng''s settlement action ended. Gu Cheng only lost a few people under his command, and suffered some financial losses, but he himself did not have much influence. Such a result made Xiaobai have to treat Gu Cheng with more caution. He found that Gu Cheng''s mind and methods were more meticulous than before. If he is allowed to develop, it will definitely be a big hidden danger! So Xiaobai used more connections to secretly catch Gu Cheng''s mistakes. He even hired a special person to go abroad to find Liang Peng who was arranged by Gu Cheng to go abroad more than half a year ago! If Liang Peng can be found, among other things, the fact that Gu Cheng is the culprit of the construction site injury case in Haicheng''s construction industry will reveal the truth. Xiaobai is always ready to bring Gu Cheng to justice! ¡­ In June, the temperature rises, and the hot summer has arrived. A few days ago, Lan Shu received a call from the Haicheng Real Estate Branch, saying that Li Shan, a high paraplegic, had been discharged from the hospital after falling from a building on the construction site. Before he was discharged from the hospital, Li Shan''s wife, Wang Pan, came to the company. In addition to informing the real estate company''s leaders that Li Shan was going to be discharged from the hospital, he also made a request¡ª Wang Pan wants to stay in Haicheng and find a job instead of taking her husband back to a remote village. The reason she stayed was because she knew that once she went back, her father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law would demand that she hand over her husband''s paralysis compensation. At that time, she can only be reduced to the point of serving the Li family members like a cow. Daughter''s future school fees will be a problem, and when she reaches the age of marriage, she will be used as a tool, and may even be sold! So Wang Pan stayed in Haicheng, hoping that the real estate company could take care of their mother and daughter, as long as they were not bullied by the Li family. After learning the news, Lan Shu asked the branch office to watch over the arrangement. Wang Pan has to take care of her paraplegic husband while working, which has requirements on the nature of the work. The branch office arranged for her to go to the staff canteen to wash dishes. As long as her hands are quick, she can finish the work in two hours each in the morning and noon, and she will have time to go back to take care of her man. Today, Lan Shu received another call from the branch office and learned about the follow-up situation of Wang Pan and Li Shan. With the help of the branch leaders, Wang Pan''s daughter can still go to school in Haicheng next semester, and the family has settled down in Haicheng. After hearing the news, Lan Shu didn''t forget to tell the branch office to pay attention to the movements of Li Shan''s other family members, so that Wang Pan wouldn''t be bullied. The call ended here, and after a while, Lan Shu received another call from her mobile phone. She glanced at the number on the caller ID, and it was Xiaobai calling. Xiaobai just went on a business trip this morning to go to Shencheng. He should still be on the train at this time, so he didn¡¯t arrive somewhere, right? Lan Shu picked up the phone, still wondering if there was something wrong with Xiao Bai? The next second, she heard Xiaobai''s heavy voice on the phone, "Daughter-in-law, my grandma passed away..." ¡­ Qingyang County, Linfu Street. Old lady Lin at the head of the bridge usually likes to move a stool and sit at the door, watching the people coming and going on the bridge. Sometimes the old neighbors nearby would chat with her. The old lady''s life is plain and leisurely. Early this morning, an old neighbor came to chat with the old lady, but found that the door of the old lady''s house was unlocked, and no one in the house responded. Because they were all very familiar with each other, the old neighbor went in directly to call the old lady. It turned out that the old lady was lying on the bed, sleeping comfortably, her body was already stiff... (end of this chapter) Chapter 480: walk out Chapter 480 Come out "The old lady should have gone there last night in her sleep. The expression on her face is very peaceful." Qingyang County, Linfu Street Qiaotou, in the mourning hall of the main house of the Gu family¡¯s old house. Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang listened to the old neighbor''s words, and gave birth to some comfort in their sad mood. It is a lucky thing to leave without pain. Although the old lady''s departure was sudden, it was not too unexpected for them. After all, the old lady is almost eighty years old this year, which is considered a long life in this era. In the old house, the mourning hall has been set up. Neighbors who came and went, relatives and friends of Gu Anguo, came to the scene to express their condolences after receiving the news. Lan Shu came a little later than her in-laws, and she sent a car to come immediately after she received the news, and it was already night when she arrived in Qingyang County. As the granddaughter-in-law, Lan Shu kowtowed respectfully to the old lady''s coffin, and then burned incense and paper beside her. At this time, Xiaobai is still on his way here, and it is estimated that he will not come here until early tomorrow morning at the earliest. Gu Anguo also told his eldest son about the death of the old lady. What Gu Cheng did at the beginning made him no longer recognize this son, but Gu Cheng is the grandson of the old lady, no matter whether Gu Cheng comes or not, the news should always be let him know. It''s a pity that Gu Anguo didn''t expect his eldest son''s hard heart. Even though Gu Cheng had been with the old lady and was raised by the old lady until he was eight years old, but when he grew up, Gu Cheng had more interest in his heart, and the family relationship was already very weak. Gu Cheng didn''t want to see his other family members, so even if he received a call or news, he wouldn''t come here to see his grandma for the last time. This night, Gu Anguo, the son, was watching the spirit, and Wei Qiushuang stayed up with her husband until three or four o''clock at night. Lan Shu didn''t stay up too late, and was urged by her in-laws to go to bed early after twelve o''clock. Although her house in Qingyang County is not far from the Gu family¡¯s old house, and it only takes a few minutes to walk, she did not go back. Instead, he sat down anywhere in the old house and squinted his eyes. Although the relationship between Lan Shu and the old lady is not deep, they are also relatives, and she really can''t go back to sleep with peace of mind after the death of a relative. Stay here by yourself, and after a short rest, you can take the place of your in-laws and help guard for a while. The rules of the wake, the candles are always lit, and the joss sticks are kept on. For several days and nights, there are always people in the mourning hall. ¡­ Early the next morning, Xiaobai arrived in Qingyang County at dawn. This time, he was halfway through his business trip before he found out that the old lady was not there. At that time, he was on the bus, so he had to get off the bus early from the nearest station, and then bought the earliest ticket back to Linjiang City, waited for the train to depart, and brought him to the city. It took two or three hours to drive from Linjiang City to Qingyang County. He still asked the factory in Qingyang County to send a car in advance, wait outside the train station, and pick him up overnight. Back to this home that he hasn¡¯t been back for a long time, Xiaobai¡¯s expressionless face, the second he stepped into the mourning hall, tears welled up in his eyes¡ª Xiaobai grew up, although he lived in Kyoto most of the time, but every year he would go back to his grandma''s house for a period of time. The relationship between him and grandma is very deep, so he never thought about the day when grandma would not be around. But this day has finally come... It was the first time for Lan Shu to see Xiao Bai cry, and she cried so sadly. In the past, it seemed that nothing could trouble Xiao Bai, but at this moment, he is as vulnerable and helpless as a child. But the old lady is still gone after all. What Lan Shu can do is to be by Xiao Bai''s side. When he is sad, as long as he turns his head, he can see himself, which can give him some comfort. The funeral of the old lady took several days to finish. When returning from Qingyang County, Xiao Bai was still immersed in painful emotions. On the other hand, Gu Anguo, the son, has come out of the deep pain. Maybe he hasn''t completely walked out, but as a person of his age, death is not too far away for him, and he has already taken it lightly. After returning to the capital, Lan Shu found that Xiao Bai gradually put off many things around him. Whenever he is free, he goes to Wei''s house to see his grandpa and grandma. The departure of Mrs. Lin made him truly feel that when people get old, they may suddenly leave this world one day. So he wanted to be with him as much as possible, and he didn''t want to think about the past in the future, and he was full of regrets. ¡­ Xiaobai''s condition lasted for nearly a month before it improved. At the beginning of July, summer vacation comes. When school starts again, Xiao Qingning will enter the third grade of elementary school. Junjun is about to be a second grade elementary school student. Meng Dabao has been studying in the kindergarten for two consecutive years, even during the winter and summer vacations. He finally graduated from the kindergarten this year. School starts again, eight and a half-year-old Meng Dabao is about to enter the first grade of primary school! It can be said that he started elementary school quite late at his age. But for a little fool with a problematic IQ, the family is already very happy that he can go to school. For this reason, Meng Heng specially invited Xiao Qingning, her parents Gu Jue and Miss Lan to celebrate together. Meng Heng is very clear that without Xiao Qingning, his son is not sure whether he can speak normally or communicate with others! Not to mention learning the knowledge of kindergarten~! Lan Shu did not refuse the Meng family''s invitation. At the same time, she also called Xiaobai who didn''t want to socialize with these things, and went to Meng''s house together as guests. Although Xiaobai seems to have come out of the grief of his grandma''s departure recently, Lan Shu can feel that he is still sad and depressed. So at this time, some happy things are needed to dilute the depression in Xiaobai''s heart. On this day, the Meng family held a banquet in a restaurant near the compound, and only three members of Gu Jue''s family were invited to the banquet to show how much they valued them. Meng Dabao would be very happy every time he saw Xiao Qingning, and it was the same this time. He told Xiao Qingning that soon they will study in the same school, and they will be classmates in the future. Xiao Qingning has played with Junjun a lot recently, because they both go to the same school, and both learn piano, and they are cousins, so they have more common topics with each other. Meng Dabao didn''t even miss the winter and summer vacations in the past two years, so as Xiao Qingning gradually grew up, coupled with the heavy workload of studies, the relationship between her and Meng Dabao is not as frequent as before. Meng Dabao could feel the slight unfamiliarity between him and Xiao Qingning. Although the little fool is not smart, he is very sensitive to things about Xiao Qingning. But Xiao Qingning still regards Meng Dabao as a friend, so even though Meng Dabao is not the only friend in her heart, she still gets along with him friendly. (end of this chapter) Chapter 481: sharing This special banquet at the Meng family made Xiao Bai, who seldom drank alcohol, break his precept. He and Meng Heng can be regarded as old comrades-in-arms who haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. On this day, the two got together to chat and drink to the point of drunkenness. Lan Shu knew that Xiao Bai was in a bad mood, so she vented it with wine. So she didn''t stop her, and let Xiao Bai get drunk! When the wine sobers up, perhaps the sadness in Xiaobai''s heart will gradually pass. ¡­ Drinking alcohol really relieved his worries. Early the next morning, Xiaobai woke up and sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up to wash and clean himself up. While he cleaned himself up, the depression in his heart seemed to be swept away¡ª After changing his clothes, Xiaobai took a deep breath before going downstairs. Downstairs, the nanny at home has already prepared breakfast, just waiting for him to come down to eat. Lan Shu, who was still busy with work today, didn''t go out so early. Seeing Xiaobai coming downstairs and seeing that he is in good condition, Lan Shu was relieved in her heart. In the restaurant, although Lan Shu had already eaten, she still sat at the dining table with Xiao Bai, silently waiting for Xiao Bai to finish his breakfast. Then Lan Shu said, "There are two pieces of good news." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Xiao Bai subconsciously looked towards Lan Shu. Then he saw Lan Shu and continued to say, "The new drug you developed last time has been tested and officially mass-produced." "Next, this drug will help many patients suppress their disease, allowing them to recover." "When the drug is promoted, I believe that countless families will be helped." When Xiaobai heard it, he knew that Lan Shu was talking about the medicine for treating high blood pressure that he conquered last time. This drug is not an ordinary antihypertensive drug that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but a new drug that has a complete cure effect while reducing blood pressure. Xiaobai nodded and asked again, "Is there any other good news?" Lan Shu smiled slightly and replied, "Another piece of good news is that the research and development team led by Xue Chuang has successfully produced a color-screen mobile phone these days." "In addition to the ability to image images on the screen, color-screen mobile phones also add other functions to the original blue-screen mobile phone, making it more convenient for users." "We have successfully applied for a patent for this color screen mobile phone, and the electronic information department of our group will be the founder of the research and development of domestic color screen mobile phones!" Lan Shu spoke without stopping, because the last piece of good news was more than that. "In addition to color-screen mobile phones, the electronic information department under the charge of Xue Chuang, a subsidiary of our group, entered the computer field two years ago. Recently, the R&D team has made breakthroughs in computer hardware research and development, and successfully upgraded the original computer hardware equipment." "Although I don''t know how far the most advanced computers in foreign countries have developed, but if this continues, our domestic computers will slowly catch up, and one day we will be able to catch up with the progress of foreign countries!" This is really good news! When Xiaobai heard about it, he couldn''t help but feel happy for the development of the group. "Xue Chuang has done a great job this time!" At the same time, he also realized one thing. Recently, when I was depressed and didn''t care about external things, my daughter-in-law not only had to support the development of the entire group by herself, but also needed her to take care of the medical field that she was best at. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will not know about the mass production of new drugs. Xiaobai suddenly felt that the group could have the current scale, he could have sufficient funds to build a laboratory, and devote himself to the research and development of new drugs, all because of his wife! Otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have these at all¡ª In the past, he got used to everything Lan Shu did, so much so that he didn''t fulfill his responsibilities as a husband at all. In other people''s homes, it''s men who make money to support their families. In his family, it was his wife who paid the most... This made Xiao Bai feel a little guilty. So he offered, "Daughter-in-law, let me share some of the group''s affairs in the future." "Although I don''t know much about many things in the group, I will learn slowly, and I can''t make you work so hard all the time." Lan Shu understood the meaning in the vernacular. She knew that Xiao Bai wanted to make her relax. But doing business is really not what Xiaobai is good at. Lan Shu felt that Xiaobai should focus more on medical research, so that it was not a waste of time. But she thought about it, and finally did not reject Xiao Bai''s decision. It is good to let Xiaobai participate in the company''s development and operation. Even if Xiaobai is not good at it, it will not hurt him to learn and understand. Moreover, keeping Xiaobai busy with the company''s affairs can also distract him from thinking about those sad things. So Lan Shu nodded, "Then from tomorrow onwards, you can work at the group." Xiaobai tapped his chin and replied, "Okay." Coincidentally, he can use today''s time to learn about the situation of various departments of the company, so as to prepare for better entry tomorrow. ¡­ The next day, the news that the Langu Group headquarters was going to parachute a new leader spread early in the morning¡ª Lan Shu informed the vice president of the group Yu Yuan and Liu Axing yesterday afternoon. Xiaobai is the second largest shareholder of the company. After he came, he directly reached the level of vice president of the group in his position. However, his vice president does not have a real job like Yu Yuan and Liu Axing. After coming to the group, Xiaobai needs to understand what kind of work he wants to do, and then make his own choice. So although he has the same position as Yu Yuan and Liu Axing, his work content and management authority are much smaller. But even so, after all, it is the leader of the group, and it has attracted the attention of all other internal employees. Waiting for Xiaobai to appear in the group building in a suit and leather shoes, he walked all the way, and everyone paid attention to him! After Xiaobai went to the new office on the top floor that Lan Shu had specially asked to vacate for him, the employees of various departments downstairs of the group had already discussed enthusiastically in groups¡ª "Oh my god~! This new airborne leader looks too good-looking!" "The point is that he is still very young! Such a handsome and temperamental man is even more attractive than the first brother among the male stars of the group''s film and television department!" "I don''t know if such a superb man is married yet?" In the group, apart from Liu Axing, Yu Yuan, and Xue Chuang, few other people know Xiaobai''s identity and background. Lan Shu is very considerate of Xiao Bai in this regard. In order not to let others think that Xiaobai got his position by virtue of connections, she deliberately confessed to Yu Yuan and Liu Axing to conceal this matter. As for Xue Chuang, he is busy with the innovative research and development of mobile phones and computers all day long, so he has no time to worry about it. So it doesn''t matter whether you confess or not. So much so that on the first day Xiaobai came to work in the group, he became the best mate selection criterion in the hearts of all unmarried female employees of the group! Chapter 482: direction Chapter 482 Direction It''s a pity that this best mate selection standard only lasted for one day. The next day, other middle-level leaders of the group came forward to control these messy remarks. It''s not because it''s inappropriate for the employees below to casually talk about the vice president, but there is news that the new vice president is a pair with the female president of their group~! "So, Vice President Gu is always our boss Lan''s husband?" "Our Boss Lan is really lucky to marry such a handsome man!" "Isn''t it? I heard that Mr. Lan''s partner is engaged in medicine, so how could he come to work in the group?" "Who stipulated that people who are engaged in medicine cannot come to the group to be the vice president? Maybe they have several jobs!" Although the news has spread, no one knows how many people believe it. ¡­ As for Xiaobai, after joining the company, he spent two days getting a clearer understanding of the various departments of the company. Finally, he is most interested in computers. It just so happens that most of Xue Chuang''s energy is concentrated on the research and development of mobile phones, and Xue Chuang has less attention to the computer part. So Xue Chuang handed over the computer R&D team to Gu Jue to manage. If you want to be the real leader of a department, you must have a clear understanding of everything in this department. For this reason, Xiaobai spends most of these days in the computer research and development department. First of all, he has to learn to use and understand computers, from hardware, to software, and computer languages, someone will guide him to get started. And Xiaobai''s learning ability is beyond doubt. So in just half a month, he has started from the basics to the point where he can independently optimize the security of the network system on the computer. If this goes on, even if he crosses the border from medicine to computer application in the future, it will not be a problem! After thoroughly understanding computers, Xiaobai has no opinion on the development of computer hardware. Professional things should be handed over to professional people. With the overall strength of the current R&D team, it is enough to push forward steadily. As for software, especially games, Xiaobai feels that there is still a lot of possibility to dig deeper. He shared his thoughts with Xue Chuang, which surprised Xue Chuang. "It''s really rare to see what you are interested in. Since you have an idea, you might as well give it a try." Xue Chuang said. "But before that, you can discuss with Mr. Lan to see if Mr. Lan has any opinions and ideas." The person Xue Chuang admires the most in his life is Ms. Lan Shu. From the function design of the pager, the research and development of mobile phones, and the upgrade of the blue-screen mobile phone to the color screen later, every innovation of their electronic information department''s products is inseparable. Miss Lan Shu''s suggestion guide. So Xue Chuang will subconsciously feel that if there is any new project, he must have a good chat with their boss Lan. If Mr. Lan can take a fancy to it, or if Mr. Lan can give some advice, then this project is definitely worth advancing! Xiaobai has known Xue Chuang for many years. Based on his understanding of Xue Chuang, being able to be suggested by Xue Chuang in this way shows that his wife''s opinions and ideas are really very important. Come to talk to Xue Chuang by yourself, but it is a bit far away. So he went directly upstairs to his wife''s office to talk about his thoughts. Lan Shu was really surprised to hear that Xiaobai wanted to create a game. But since he is interested in games, he must support it. So Lan Shu talked about her thoughts on games. "Due to memory and processor limitations, the games that computers can run are quite simple, such as minesweeper and solitaire, which are basically equipped on every computer." "If you go further, you can consider many aspects, such as leisure and entertainment games, or competitive games." Hearing what his wife said, Xiao Bai was stunned. I just suddenly mentioned the idea of ??creating a game, but listening to my daughter-in-law, it seems that she has a clearer idea of ??the direction of game development in her mind? "Recreational and competitive direction..." Xiaobai began to think seriously. "Cards should be regarded as leisure and entertainment, as for competition..." Xiaobai can think of some sports competitions, but how to realize these offline competitive sports into games is a big problem. Looking at Xiao Bai''s confused expression, Lan Shu knew that his thinking might be in a wrong place. So she opened her mouth and added a few more words, "Competitive games are actually very diverse, such as combat training, which should be familiar to you." "On the specified map, under the cover of various geographical environments and obstacles, the two sides will fight to win or lose." Lan Shu didn''t say much, just these two sentences gave Xiaobai a flash of inspiration¡ª Xiaobai knows how to do competitive games! And he instantly had an idea about the direction of game development and specific details! At this moment, Xiaobai finally understood why Xue Chuang asked him to come and talk to his wife. Sometimes Xiaobai really thinks that his daughter-in-law is simply a treasure! There seems to be nothing she doesn''t know. Next, Xiaobai devoted himself to the game design and development of the battle mode. As the vice president of the group, he originally wanted to handle the affairs of certain departments in the group, but he plunged into the electronic information department, and even created a game development team by himself! Regarding this result, Lan Shu didn''t say anything. Xiaobai is willing to do it, then do it. It''s just that she found that when Xiaobai was concentrating on game development, there seemed to be some female employees in some departments in the group who were a little restless... Because of avoiding suspicion in the company, Lan Shu never had a meal with Xiao Bai in the group cafeteria at noon. So some female employees in the original group are still rumoring that the vice president of the new group and Lan are always a couple. Later, when I saw the two senior leaders, there seemed to be no interaction, and such rumors quickly disappeared. At the same time, some female employees with better external conditions had some thoughts that they shouldn''t have... ¡­ Fu Chuxue is 21 years old this year, and she is a signed female artist of the film and television department of Langu Group. She has been in the company for more than a year, and her main focus is on TV dramas. Because of her good looks, if other actresses want to be the heroines, they must film a series of TV series to accumulate popularity and experience. And she had only acted as a supporting actress in two dramas before, and she was selected as the lead actress in the new drama that the company is preparing recently, and she will join the group next month. Before entering the group, each actor has to undergo a period of training, and conduct targeted training in terms of posture and role setting skills. Fu Chuxue met Vice President Gu on the way to the group rehearsal room. She didn''t know that Gu Jue was the vice president at first, but she was simply attracted by the handsome appearance and temperament of the man in front of her. She thought that the other party was the newly signed actor of the department, but after inquiring, she found out that it was the new vice president who was airborne from the group! (end of this chapter) Chapter 483: Even ten guts dare not Chapter 483 Ten dare not dare Fu Chuxue prides herself on being beautiful, and she had many suitors in the past. Not only the actors signed by the group, but even some famous actors in the Hong Kong city circle, there are many people who have shown their favor to her. She felt that few men were worthy of her, but after seeing Vice President Gu, she suddenly felt that only such a man with superior appearance and prominent status was what she wanted! So Fu Chuxue came to the group every day, in addition to the normal physical exercise, looking for opportunities to meet Vice President Gu. Finally, at noon that day, she met Vice President Gu in the group cafeteria! Fu Chuxue knows very well that there are countless women in the group who hold the same idea as her. At this time in the cafeteria, from the eyes of the women who seem to be around Vice President Gu, one can tell how popular Vice President Gu is in the group! At this time, if you want to get what you love, of course you have to act first! Fu Chuxue walked straight in the direction of Vice President Gu, and when she was about to sit down opposite to Vice President Gu''s dining table, she saw a woman directly opposite her, sitting firmly next to Vice President Gu. down! Fu Chuxue looked up in surprise, and the next second she saw the female president of their group appear in front of her¡ª Lan Shu originally didn''t plan to disclose her relationship with Xiao Bai. But seeing that her man was so missed by others, she had no choice but to let people know that Xiaobai was owned by someone! Xiaobai has been in the group for more than half a month, and he has never had a meal with his wife. At first he thought that his wife was too busy, but later he realized that she was trying to avoid suspicion. Actually, Xiaobai can''t understand, why should he avoid suspicion between him and his wife? But because it was decided by his wife, he agreed by default. Later, because he was really busy in the group, he didn''t care about whether he had dinner with his wife or not. But today, the daughter-in-law who had previously said that she wanted to avoid suspicion took the initiative to sit beside him! Xiaobai slightly certified, and then smiled happily~! "Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat? I''ll cook for you!" Vice President Gu, who originally looked stern and cold and alienated, suddenly became attentive¡ª Such a contrast made Fu Chuxue who was standing opposite her choke hard! What surprised her even more was Vice President Gu''s address to President Lan. ''Daughter-in-law...'' Are they really a couple? Seeing this situation, Fu Chuxue sighed slightly, then took her own plate and turned a corner, walked away from a distance and sat down, bowing her head and eating in silence. In the cafeteria, when the other women saw this scene, they also looked away, lowered their heads and ate seriously, and never dared to look at the vice president again. Who said before that there is no relationship between Vice President Gu and President Lan? You must know that these two are a couple, even if you give them ten guts, they don''t dare to miss Vice President Gu in their hearts! There are some women who think differently from most of the female employees of the group. Qiao Lingling is a foreman in the makeup sales department of the group. Usually, everyone in the sales department is assigned to the counters of various shopping malls to complete the performance indicators. Only every three months, the foremen of each counter will come to the headquarters for three days of business ability training. When Qiao Lingling came back for training, she met the newly appointed Vice President Gu of their group. She had also heard about the relationship between Vice President Gu and President Lan, and even witnessed the scene where President Lan and Vice President Gu sat together for dinner. Even if she knew that there was someone beside Vice President Gu, Qiao Lingling still liked Vice President Gu! She felt that she would never meet a man better than Vice President Gu in her life! So taking advantage of the few days she was training in the group, Qiao Lingling tried every means to get close to Vice President Gu. Qiao Lingling was not bad in appearance, and she was in the sales of makeup, so her makeup skills were very good. Her original six or seven points appearance, after putting on makeup, can reach eight or nine points! Plus she is slender and has a good figure, few men can resist her initiative. But she has been wandering around Vice President Gu several times these days, only to find that this Vice President Gu has never looked at her from the beginning to the end! This made Qiao Lingling very frustrated, and even wondered if her charm was still there? In the blink of an eye, Xiaobai has been working in the group for a month. During this month, he devoted himself to his work, and the secret schemes and temptations of the women around him were completely useless to him! He didn''t even realize this, and he was really blind to the careful planning of those women. At first, Lan Shu was a little worried that Xiao Bai would be tempted. It''s not that she doesn''t have confidence in herself, nor is she doubting Xiaobai''s loyalty to her, but that under the woman''s deliberate strategy, few men can not fall into it. What she was guarding against was not his man, but another woman. Now Lan Shu realizes that Xiao Bai seems to be a big straight man who doesn''t understand, and he pretends that he doesn''t have any women in his heart! Only myself is the exception¡ª Lan Shu even wondered, how did she get Xiao Bai in the first place? It''s kind of incredible to think about it. When Xiaobai temporarily put down medical research and devoted himself to the group''s electronic information department and game development, he worried the experts in the medical circle! Several professors from Peking University School of Medicine originally thought that Gu Jue was just taking a short break. But for two consecutive months, they didn''t see Gu Jue back to the laboratory of Peking University School of Medicine! Although Gu Jue has his own laboratory outside, some of the research projects between his own laboratory and the laboratory of Peking University School of Medicine are often interoperable. So, Gu Jue hasn''t done drug research for two consecutive months? Later, someone inquired and found out that the youngest expert and professor in their medical field went to work in the daughter-in-law''s company! This stunned many medical experts and professors! They were afraid that Gu Jue would give up medical research in the future. That would be a huge loss for their medical discipline! So within a few days, Lan Shu, who was dealing with official business in the office, received a call from a professor of medicine at Peking University School of Medicine¡ª When Lan Shu first heard the caller''s self-introduction of his family name, he wondered if the caller had made a wrong call? The next second, she heard the person on the phone say. "Miss Lan, Gu Jue is an indispensable genius in our medical discipline. Over the years, he has completed more research on drugs alone than all the professors in our entire laboratory combined!" "His talent should be placed on medicine, not let him work in your company! This is simply reckless!" When Lan Shu heard this, she immediately understood why the professor on the phone called her. Is this because I feel that I have kidnapped their mainstay of medicine, and let a research expert who can obviously make great contributions to medicine waste his talents and do a job that they think is meaningless? Lan Shu can understand their feelings, but it''s really not her idea to ask Xiao Bai to work in the company. (end of this chapter) Chapter 484: Cant give birth Chapter 484 Unable to give birth Lan Shu explained the professor''s concerns, and assured that Xiaobai was only working in the group temporarily and would return to medical research sooner or later, which made the professor on the phone feel a little relieved. After the call ended, Lan Shu sighed. Although she knows that Xiaobai will not give up his job in medical research, there is really no idea how long he will spend on game development. Lan Shu only hopes that this time will not be too long, otherwise, the professors of medicine at Peking University School of Medicine may still really feel that they are holding on to people and making the pearl dust¡ª ¡­ One month later, Xiaobai''s game development is still in progress. And Xiao Qingning''s summer vacation is over, and she is promoted to the third grade. Meng Dabao, who was born on the same day and the same year as her, also entered the primary school on this day. On the day Meng Dabao started school, not only the entire Meng family was there to see him off to school, but even Lan Xinya received the news from nowhere that her son was going to primary school, so she, the mother, came to see him off. Meng Heng has not seen Lan Xinya for more than a year. When Lan Xinya saw Meng Heng, she just glanced over, and then her eyes fell on Sun Yuan beside Meng Heng. When Lan Xinya saw Sun Yuan, she felt angry! She gave Sun Yuan a hard look, and then gloated. Lan Xinya has already inquired. Sun Yuan has been married to Meng Heng for so many years. The reason why she didn''t have children is because her stomach can''t give birth! Thinking of this, Lan Xinya felt that the Meng family owed her everything! If she hadn''t given birth to a grandson for the Meng family, the old Meng family would probably be dead~! So when Lan Xinya looked at Sun Yuan, her face was full of arrogance and disdain for Sun Yuan. Meng Heng and Sun Yuan didn''t know what Lan Xinya was thinking. For so many years, the two of them had already dismissed the matter of not having children, so there was no such thing as Sun Yuan not being able to give birth to a child, should be looked down upon. Sun Yuan is the daughter-in-law recognized by the two elders of the Meng family, and she is also the woman Meng Heng is willing to treat sincerely! Not far away, after Meng Dabao entered the school, the Meng family was about to leave. Meng Heng and Sun Yuan have to go to work later, and the two elders of the Meng family are unwilling to stay with Lan Xinya, so the old couple take the lead. When Lan Xinya saw the Meng family, she didn''t hurt the other party a few words to find a sense of existence for herself, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart! So after the old couple of the Meng family left, when Sun Yuan and Meng Heng were about to leave near the school gate, they were blocked by Lan Xinya''s round and thick body¡ª This time, Lan Xinya''s gaze still skipped over Meng Heng, and looked straight at Sun Yuan. "You should still remember who I am? I heard that you won''t have children, so what will you do when you get old?" Lan Xinya said with a sarcastic smile on her face. "I have to say some things first, Dabao is my son, it is impossible to give you old age!" "So to be a woman, you still have to be able to give birth, otherwise your old age will be miserable~!" Lan Xinya''s original intention was to satirize Sun Yuan, but what she said was really stupid! She didn''t even think about it, her own mother offended Dabao''s stepmother, what should the stepmother do if she treats her son badly? That means Sun Yuan has a kind heart, otherwise that kind of situation might really happen! However, even if Sun Yuan would not be angry with Meng Dabao because of Lan Xinya, her complexion is really not good at this time. Meng Heng''s expression darkened when he heard Lan Xinya''s words! "Lan Xinya! Don''t worry about our family affairs!" Meng Heng said. "But Dabao is my son!" Lan Xinya said with pride in her tone. She is proud of the son she can give birth to! "Although Sun Yuan is Dabao''s stepmother, she cares more about Dabao than your own mother! When Dabao grows up, he will naturally remember who is good to him!" "You don''t have to worry about who Dabao is taking care of for the elderly! He can tell who is far and who is near." Meng Heng was angry at Lan Xinya''s instigation. He felt that his son was really unlucky to have a mother like Lan Xinya! At the beginning, he didn''t even know how he was blind, so he fell in love with Lan Xinya and married Lan Xinya! Seeing her man so angry, Sun Yuan did not hesitate to quarrel with her ex-wife and defend herself. It was only when she felt Lan Xinya''s intentional provocation in her heart that she calmed down a little. Her man is right, Dabao will naturally remember who treats him best! So she didn''t have to argue with Lan Xinya about this matter. Sun Yuan is not worried about her pension issues at all, even if she can''t have children, it doesn''t matter, she believes that Meng Heng treats her sincerely. Besides, she has a job and a pension when she gets old. Why is she afraid that no one will provide for her? On the contrary, Lan Xinya... Sun Yuan looked towards Lan Xinya, and her eyes sized Lan Xinya back and forth. "No one knows what will happen in the future, but now, I feel that I am doing well~" Sun Yuan said. She is indeed doing well these days. The man is considerate and the parents-in-law take care of her. Even if they can''t have children, no one in the family complains. And her and her man''s wages are added together, which is not a small sum every month! In a dual-career family with high income, her life can be said to be much better than many people! Opposite, Lan Xinya listened to Sun Yuan''s words, and she immediately became sullen! To say that her life was really good before, but now, her savings of more than 20,000 yuan has been cheated, and she has not yet found the fraudsters. It is still unknown whether she will be able to recover in the future. Although the business of her newly opened store is still good, at least it can take care of daily expenses, and there is still a little savings every month, but to make tens of thousands of money again, relying on her storehouse outside the mall, it is impossible I don''t know what year and month I went~! Lan Xinya is confident that the only person who can compare with Sun Yuan is the future. But Sun Yuan poked her sore spot in turn! It made her expression change again and again, and her face became more and more ugly. So she said angrily, "So what if you live well? It''s not like you can''t have a baby!" But as soon as she finished speaking, Sun Yuan, who was opposite her, suddenly covered her mouth and retched~! This scene made Lan Xinya stunned. Sun Yuan, the person involved, was also stunned in place, deeply surprised! Meng Heng didn''t react too much, but asked his daughter-in-law with concern, "What''s wrong? Did it hurt your stomach?" Sun Yuan rolled her eyes at her man, "Fool~! I will not go to work today, and I will accompany me to the hospital for a checkup later." Hearing what she said, Meng Heng was still a little worried, for fear that something might happen to his daughter-in-law''s health. On the contrary, it was Lan Xinya who was standing opposite Sun Yuan. At this moment, she was mad with jealousy! She guessed it, Sun Yuan is very likely to be pregnant with a child! She said just now that Sun Yuan''s stomach would not be born, but she was slapped in the face in the blink of an eye! (end of this chapter) Chapter 485: not bad That day, after Sun Yuan and Meng Heng went to the hospital for an examination, they were told by the doctor that Sun Yuan was indeed pregnant! Hearing the doctor''s words, "Congratulations, I have been pregnant for more than a month, and the embryonic development is normal." Sun Yuan was so happy that she almost jumped up! But soon, she heard the doctor say, "Your morning sickness reaction is earlier, so be mentally prepared, and wait for two or three months when progesterone rises peak, and the morning sickness reaction may be very strong." For Sun Yuan, as long as the child is safe and healthy, she doesn''t care if she suffers a little. So she just nodded and didn''t take the doctor''s words into her heart. But when the real morning sickness reaction started, Sun Yuan realized that morning sickness was such a torment! In the first few months of her pregnancy, she vomited so much that she could barely eat. Pregnancy not only did not make the body gain weight, but lost almost 20 catties! Fortunately, after the morning sickness reaction stabilized in the later stage, she slowly gained weight. ¡­ On the other hand, Lan Xinya spent the months of waiting for the baby to be born in Youxi Meng''s family, and she was restless all the time! She was afraid that after the Meng family had a new grandson, it would treat her Dabao badly. And once Sun Yuan gives birth to a healthy child, everything in the Meng family will no longer belong to her son alone. For Lan Xinya, it was as uncomfortable as cutting her flesh! So recently, whenever Lan Xinya was free, she would go to the school gate to see her son. She told Meng Dabao all her worries, so that Meng Dabao, who was not very smart, began to think that if the stepmother gave birth to a younger brother, would she stop treating him? Meng Dabao, who had just entered elementary school and suddenly had a lot of work, felt the pressure in family life. He even went to ask Xiao Qingning one day. "If your parents gave birth to a younger brother and sister again, would they treat you badly?" Xiao Qingning felt very strange when she heard Meng Dabao say that. "Why do my parents treat me badly when I have younger siblings?" "I am the first child of my parents, and I will spend much longer with them than my younger siblings. My parents'' feelings for me are different from those for my younger siblings." "And as an older sister, if I have younger siblings in the future, I will like them very much." "I grow up with them, and they will like me very much, isn''t that great?" Xiao Qingning''s words made Meng Dabao''s not-so-bright little brain think for a long time before he finally understood the meaning. So when Lan Xinya went to the school gate to find her son again and provoke him to have a relationship with his stepmother, she heard Meng Dabao say, "Mom, the babies born by Aunt Sun will be my younger brothers and sisters. They''re fine." Meng Dabao''s words made Lan Xinya angry! Facing Meng Dabao, who is so stubborn that he will not change easily as long as it is a decision, Lan Xinya simply hates iron for being weak! "How could I have such a stupid son?!" Lan Xinya really regretted that she took her son to shoot commercials when he was young, and made him a fool with a fever. If her son hadn''t been stupid, maybe he wouldn''t be as he is now, focusing on being good to others and not thinking about his own future at all. Unfortunately, it was too late for her to regret¡ª ¡­ It didn''t take long for Lan Shu to know about Lan Xinya instigating her son. It was none other than her daughter Xiao Qingning who told her. And Xiao Qingning didn''t make a special trip to tell her mother about other people''s family affairs, she just thought of herself from the fact that Meng Dabao was about to have younger siblings. Xiao Qingning also hopes that she can have younger siblings so that she can experience the feeling of being an older sister. This weekend, while her parents were around, at the dining table, Xiao Qingning proposed the idea of ??letting her parents have another child. When Lan Shu heard what her daughter said, she was slightly taken aback¡ª And Xiaobai subconsciously turned to look at his daughter-in-law, then thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, as if he felt that his daughter''s idea was very feasible. Perhaps Xiaobai''s eyes were too hot, Lan Shu blushed in front of her daughter~! She gave Xiaobai a blank look, and then asked her daughter why she had such thoughts. Only then did I learn about Lan Xinya''s instigation to Meng Dabao. As for Lan Xinya, Lan Shu hasn''t heard this name for a long time. Although she knows that Lan Xinya''s life is definitely not as good as the heroine who is in the halo, the Lan Xinya described in the novel is, after all, a gentle, virtuous, and reasonable woman, and Lan Xinya''s current situation is simply different. personal! This made Lan Shu deeply feel how much money can change a person! She remembered that in her time, there was a saying called redness nourishes people. When a person has money, her temperament can change accordingly! And Lan Xinya, who has no money, gradually no longer is what she used to be. Instead, she turned into another vulgar, market-oriented, preoccupied, disregarded, immoral, and annoying woman for a little profit! Lan Shu sighed and didn''t think about Lan Xinya''s situation. Facing her daughter''s full expectations and Xiaobai''s desire, she seriously considered the feasibility of having another child. Since Xiao Qingning offered to have a younger brother or younger sister, it means that in her subconscious mind, she might feel a little lonely by herself. So Lan Shu looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Then let nature take its course." Hearing what his wife said, Xiaobai suddenly laughed~! In the past few years, they have been using contraception, and it is not impossible for him to let it take its course, which means that they will have a second child soon! Whether the second child is a boy or a girl, Xiaobai is looking forward to it. I believe that parents will be very happy knowing that they want to have another child! Just like that, two months later, when the temperature turned cold and snowflakes were falling in the sky, Lan Shu was taken seriously by Xiao Bai because of her morning sickness reaction! Before Xiaobai, in order to know whether his daughter-in-law was pregnant as soon as possible, he even went to learn Chinese medicine to feel the pulse. When Lanshu was vomiting during pregnancy, he immediately gave the pulse of his wife''s pregnancy. Went to the hospital for an examination, and he was told by the doctor that his daughter-in-law was almost two months pregnant! Knowing the result, Xiaobai squinted his eyes and smiled happily. Lan Shu was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and took a deep look at Xiaobai¡ª She suddenly discovered that they used to do contraception really well! Otherwise, by now, Xiao Qingning would have given birth to a group of younger siblings, not to mention a younger sibling! This winter, Lan Shu has reduced her workload at work, and all business trips have been handed over to Yu Yuan and Liu Axing, the two vice presidents of the group. Most of the time recently, she has been raising her baby at home with peace of mind. Lan Shu is already thirty years old this year, and has entered the range of advanced maternal age, so giving birth is definitely something she needs to pay attention to. Chapter 486: younger siblings Xiao Bai is more nervous than Lan Shu. Xiao Bai really wanted to have another child before, but when Lan Shu was really pregnant, he didn''t want to see his daughter-in-law suffer during pregnancy. So during Lan Shu''s pregnancy, Xiao Bai''s mood was a cycle of worry, regret and joy! For this reason, he threw aside all the competitive games designed and developed by him. At this time, in Xiaobai''s heart, nothing is as important as a daughter-in-law! Fortunately, the game development team is not unable to function without him. Before that, Xiaobai had already listed the map, combat mechanism, battle rules, etc. of the entire game. In the future, even if he does not participate much, it will not affect the production process of the game too much. It''s the research of medicine. Originally, there were a group of professors in Peking University School of Medicine, waiting for Gu Jue to devote his energy to drug research again. Now that Gu Jue''s wife is pregnant with a child, his return deadline in drug research can only be postponed further¡ª ¡­ Years later, Lan Shu''s belly has begun to show, and the curvature of the three-to-four-month pregnant belly can be seen. At this time, Xiaobai truly felt that they were really going to have a second child! In this age when family planning is still very strict, even people like Lan Shu and Xiao Bai who are able to support them are not allowed to have a second child because of their status. So in order to give birth to this child, Xiaobai voluntarily resigned from his public office as a drug consultant on the law enforcement team. Lan Shu didn''t make things difficult for the TV station either. She has been the program producer of this TV station for ten years. Since she had a job arrangement every month before, her programs are quite mature now. Even if she quits her job and retires by herself, it will not affect the normal operation of the show. So when she handed in her resignation letter to Zhu Hong, the former deputy director and now the director of the TV station, Director Zhu approved her resignation after learning the reason for her resignation. but¡­ "Sister Lan Shu, even if you don''t work in the TV station, don''t stop our cooperation in the future." Zhu Hong was a little worried. In recent years, the film and television company under Langu Group has signed too many copyright contracts for movies and TV series with the TV station. So even though Lan Shu has been working in the station, no one in the whole TV station has a second word. Now that she has left her job, Taili is worried that the copyright broadcast price of movies and TV shows will not be as favorable as before? Regarding this, Lan Shu told Director Zhu not to worry. Even if she leaves the TV station, as long as the station does not treat her as an outsider, she will continue as before. With Lan Shu''s words, Director Zhu Hong finally felt relieved. She personally sent Lan Shu out of the gate of the TV station, and watched Lan Shu get into the car. Waiting for the car to drive away, Zhu Hong sighed. It''s a pity that their TV station failed to keep Lan Shu''s ''big Buddha''~! The family planning is too strict. Otherwise, if she is a little more relaxed, even if she is looking for a relationship, she will help Lanshu apply for a second child! At this moment, even though Director Zhu, as the director of the TV station, promotes family planning is a very important job responsibility of hers, but she still feels that the regulation of family planning is too unreasonable! Lan Shu''s side, after she and Xiaobai both quit their public jobs, they can finally stop worrying about family planning requirements. Xiaobai took the initiative to pay the fine, and then waited for the birth of the child with his wife. ¡­ When Lan Shu was pregnant and raising a baby, in mid-March, Meng Dabao, who lived in the compound in District J, finally had a half-sister! Meng Dabao''s younger sister is named Meng Xiaoxiao, a seemingly simple name, but it is the voice of everyone in the Meng family. After so many years of marriage, Meng Heng and Sun Yuan finally had a child, and the two elders of the Meng family also waited for their second grandchild. The most important thing is that everyone in the family thinks that Dabao¡¯s brain is not working well, so he can have a younger sister who is related by blood. Meng Dabao didn''t know that the whole family was thinking of him, and he was immersed in the joy of having a younger sister. During the weekend, Meng Dabao called Xiao Qingning, and when he heard Xiao Qingning''s voice coming from the phone, the first thing he said was, "I have a younger sister!" After finishing speaking, Meng Dabao invited Xiao Qingning to visit his sister at his home. Little fool thinks his sister is the cutest existence in the world! He wants everyone to see his lovely sister¡ª When Xiao Qingning heard that Meng Dabao already had a younger sister, she was immediately envious! After promising Meng Dabao to go to his house tomorrow, Xiao Qingning pestered her mother that night and kept asking, when will she have a younger sister? Knowing Xiao Qingning''s thoughts, Lan Shu couldn''t help laughing, "Xiao Qingning likes my sister?" Gu Qingning nodded immediately, "I like it!" Seeing her daughter like this, Lan Shu suddenly had some thoughts about whether the child in her womb was a boy or a girl. She had never cared whether her second child was a boy or a girl. Xiaobai doesn''t care about these either. So the two did not use technological means to check the gender of the child. It''s just that Xiaobai said through his pulse, that their second child should be a boy. Lan Shu didn''t believe in the idea of ??taking the pulse to diagnose men and women, so she didn''t take Xiao Bai''s words to heart. Now that her daughter talked about wanting a younger sister, Lan Shu was thinking about it. "What if your mother gave birth to a younger brother for you?" Lan Shu asked. Gu Qingning thought for a while, "The younger brother is the younger brother." Although she said so, the reluctance in her daughter''s tone still made Lan Shu feel that her brother really didn''t meet Xiao Qingning''s expectations. But Xiao Qingning is willing to accept it. Lan Shu hopes that her two children will have a harmonious relationship in the future and become each other''s reliance! ¡­ Five months later, mid-August. Lan Shu''s due date is approaching. Because of previous production experience. So Lan Shu didn''t panic about the second child. Probably gave birth once before, so the second production went quite smoothly. It only took more than three hours from Lan Shu being pushed into the delivery room to the birth of the baby. Lan Shu''s second child is indeed the same as Xiao Bai''s pulse, it is a boy. The baby is very healthy, and the crying sound after birth, the sonorous voice goes straight through the delivery room! Even in the hospital corridor can hear clearly¡ª Outside the delivery room, Xiao Qingning and her father were holding hands, and both father and daughter were waiting nervously. Knowing that her mother had added a younger brother to her, Gu Qingning was silent for a while, and then she said, "Brother... is also fine." When she said this, she couldn''t help but think of Meng Dabao''s sister. A four- to five-month-old little girl, laying on the bed and yelling ¡®Ah~¡¯, can only move clumsily from side to side, so cute~! Chapter 487: disaster relief Gu Qingning still remembers Meng Dabao saying that when his sister grows up, she will be able to wear many beautiful little skirts. When Meng Dabao said this, he thought of the former Xiao Qingning. When Gu Qingning heard these words, her desire for her younger sister was even stronger! If she has a younger sister, she can dress her up like a doll~ But the current younger brother... Gu Qingning was silent for a moment. Who says younger brother can''t dress up as a doll? At this time, the newly born Xiao Er of the Gu family still doesn''t know what her sister thinks. If he knew his birth, in the eyes of his sister, he was just a doll for her to play with, maybe he would cry even louder~ ¡­ Time flies, two years have passed. In 1993, when people''s economic level was getting better and better, and every household was developing towards a well-off process. The hot July is coming to an end, and at the beginning of August, the Gu family. When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were about to prepare a birthday party for their son, almost without warning, many places in the country were hit by torrential rain! The flood is coming¡ª The flood came too suddenly. Within 24 hours, the rainfall reached more than 300 millimeters. In two days, the rainfall was more than a thousand millimeters! Even many years ago, the charity organization established by Lan Shu immediately organized personnel, prepared supplies, and went to the front line to rescue people and support, but news of casualties continued to come¡ª Under such circumstances, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai didn''t have the time to prepare for their son''s birthday party. One of the two prepares a large amount of anti-disaster medicines. In addition to commonly used cold and fever medicines, Xiaobai considers that during the disaster, many people on the front line may drink unclean water, which may easily cause symptoms such as diarrhea and dehydration. So he also prepared this type of medicine and sent a car to deliver it overnight. Lan Shu, in the name of the group, bought a large number of short-term storage biscuits, bread, canned food, and clean bottled water. If you don¡¯t have enough water, use various drinks to make up. Even though the floods on the front line were severe, Lan Shu knew that the water for people to eat was in short supply! In addition to eating and drinking, Lan Shu also bought some tents. The manufacturer who sold this tent didn''t have much inventory and not enough productivity, so Lan Shu directly bought all the tent materials in the warehouse of the tent manufacturer, and sent them to the clothing factory of their group nearby, so that the workers could stop making clothes first. , but according to the drawings provided by the tent factory, a large number of tents are processed! When the completed tent was pulled away by a large truck, there was still a large number of autumn sportswear in stock in the garment factory that was prepared for the next season''s sales, all loaded into the truck and taken away¡ª Lan Shu suddenly thought that in addition to eating, drinking and living places on the front line, the floods had submerged villages and towns, and the affected people had no time to take their belongings out of their homes. So they should still lack clothes to keep them warm when the temperature cools down at night. There are also those heroes who fight against floods and rescue disasters. They soaked in the water for hours or even days. If they can change into a set of dry clothes after they come out of the water, it should make their bodies more comfortable. During this great flood, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai did not hesitate, and did their best to help the people in the disaster area and the heroes fighting the flood. When the disaster relief materials prepared by Langu Group were sent to the front line one after another, the TV station got the news and immediately sent reporters to interview. At the beginning, Lan Shu didn''t think that she would do publicity for the group in this disaster, so as to accumulate popularity. But thinking of so many affected people on the front line, after thinking about it, she decided to accept an interview with reporters. However, the content of the interview was not to publicize how much medicine her man had sent, or how much supplies their group had sent. The next day, among the content broadcast on the TV station and the reports published in the daily newspapers, some of them were only Lan Shu who came forward to appeal to those companies and manufacturers with the ability and financial resources, and hoped that everyone could contribute their own strength to the frontline of the disaster area. Donate supplies. Her strength alone is limited after all, but the group affected by the disaster is quite large. If more people can be mobilized to pay attention to flood fighting and disaster relief, perhaps more people affected by the disaster can be rescued in time. Businessmen like them do not have the ability to fight floods on the front line, but at the rear, she hopes that everyone can do their part! ¡­ The flood fighting and disaster relief lasted for more than 20 days before it ended. From the beginning of August to the end of August, the materials of the Langu Group were arranged for the front line every day. Besides their group, influenced by Lanshu, some domestic manufacturers and companies joined in the flood relief as much as they could. Everyone who has money will contribute money, and those who have materials will contribute materials. Some factories even formed a group of workers who are familiar with water in the factory, and drove the workers directly to the front line in large trucks to participate in flood fighting and disaster relief. With the human and material assistance of these companies and factories, the difficulty of flood relief is much less than expected. More people affected by the disaster were rescued in time, and many rescued victims were able to eat food and use medicine in time, reducing the incidence of post-disaster illness. In the past half a month, most of the daily newspapers across the country revolved around the disaster. How much money was donated by which company and how much material was donated by which factories were listed one by one and published in newspapers. Such a scene, from the real-time report at the beginning, to the latter was almost instructed by the higher-ups, to let the general public know how united the country they live in is internally! When one party is in trouble, all parties support it. This is the current situation! So that those people in areas that were not affected by the disaster read newspapers every day with enthusiasm! Many people are proud of living in this country and feel that they have a sense of security. Among them, Langu Group, which donated the most materials, was also well known by the whole people during this flood. For a while, the products of Langu Group were almost sold out by the general public in various offline shopping malls and markets¡ª They use actions to express their support for charitable manufacturers and conscience groups. A flood, while helping others, Lan Shu also gained more people''s goodwill towards the group. ¡­ After the flood is completely over. Kyoto, the Gu family. Two-year-old Gu Zerui missed his birthday. Although Rarity is still young, he already knows what a birthday is. Before my sister celebrated her eleventh birthday, he saw that on her birthday, her sister could receive many gifts, eat sweet cakes, be accompanied by her parents, and receive blessings from her grandparents and grandparents. Now it''s finally his turn to celebrate his birthday. Rarity didn''t expect that he was looking forward to this birthday with all his heart, but his parents were too busy to stay home every day. As a result, when my parents came back, my sister told him, "Your birthday has passed." Hearing this sentence, Rarity burst into tears with a "Wow~!" Chapter 488: drop out Rarity couldn''t believe it, and didn''t want to accept it. Fortunately, his sister was still there, so Rarity got a gift from her sister¡ªa pink three-layer gauze skirt. My sister said that she had saved money for this dress for a long time before hiring someone to make it according to the design she drew. In this world, skirts are rare and rare! Putting on this little skirt, he can become the prettiest boy in the family! It will definitely be more loved by parents! So Rarity believed her sister''s words, and immediately put on this pink dress that represented her sister''s love for him. When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned home and could finally catch their breath, the son they saw had already been successfully dressed up as a pink and tender doll by the daughter... Xiao Bai was startled when he saw this scene. When Lan Shu saw such a son, her first reaction was to think that she and Xiaobai had really good genes, the daughter they had was beautiful, and the son was also cute~! Although Rarity is a boy and shouldn''t wear a small skirt, Rarity''s appearance in a skirt is as good as that of Xiao Qingning when she was a child! It¡¯s so cute¡ª Finally, the birthday that Rarity had been thinking about so much, the family still organized a make-up for him. Originally, her birthday in mid-August was scheduled for the end of August, before Xiao Qingning started school. Lan Shu ordered a cake for her son, and Xiao Bai gave him a large set of building blocks. Rarui is wearing a small white shirt, black overalls, and a small bow tie. She is a cute and handsome two-year-old doll. After eating the sweet cake, Rarity clapped her hands happily, cheered and danced, almost flying! Ruirui also liked the building blocks that my father gave me, and I couldn''t put it down and played with them for several days. Gu Qingning, who was the elder sister, watched from the side, feeling a little regretful in her heart. I gave my younger brother a beautiful little dress, and my younger brother has only worn it for a day. Fortunately, she took a film camera to take a picture of her brother wearing a small skirt, and the photo will be ready in a few days. Lanshu and Xiaobai''s family, from a family of three to a family of four, Rarity''s arrival brought more joy to their family~! Gu Qingning is also like what she said to Meng Dabao at the beginning, after having a younger brother, she likes him very much and will take the initiative to take care of him. In this way, the younger brother will naturally like her sister very much. ¡­ On the other side, Meng Dabao''s half-sister is also over two years old. The little girl is lively, smart and healthy. The two-year-old girl speaks quite fluently. Because of her good health, she seldom gets sick. On the contrary, Meng Dabao, the elder brother, is eleven years old and has grown into a big child, but he still experiences a severe cold and fever every month on average. Fortunately, his asthma, which was the root cause of his illness since he was a child, has almost never had an attack. This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Because Meng Dabao is always very kind to his younger sister, whenever he has free time, he will play with her, so his younger sister Meng Xiaoxiao is closer to her brother than to her parents! In late September, the weather changed recently, and the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees. Meng Dabao caught a cold after school, and when he got home, he had a fever that night¡ª Meng Xiaoxiao, who is two and a half years old, is usually at her bedtime at this time, but today she saw her brother sick and uncomfortable, and refused to go back to the room with her mother to sleep no matter what, she must stay with her brother! At home, no amount of persuasion by a group of adults will work. So Sun Yuan had no choice but to put a small pillow next to Dabao''s bed and let her daughter sleep here. After Meng Xiaoxiao fell asleep, she was carried back into the house. On the second day, Meng Dabao''s fever improved a bit, but Meng Xiaoxiao was infected and also developed a fever. Fortunately, the little girl''s fever is not high. And even if she has a fever, she will run around her brother with a smile, as if she will feel happy when she sees him. After Meng Dabao recovered from his illness, he went to play with Xiao Qingning again, and talked about how much his sister cared about him. And Xiao Qingning didn''t show weakness, and listed 123 of his brother''s cuteness, and said them all. Watching the two of them showing off their younger sister and younger brother, one envied Lan Juncheng who was on the sidelines! He also wants a younger brother and sister. But the parents said that raising him was already very difficult, and it broke their hearts. They really didn''t have the energy and courage to have another child. Thus, Lan Juncheng was doomed to be the only child. Although he has no biological siblings, Cousin Qingning''s younger brother, Gu Zerui, is also his cousin. So Lan Juncheng would come to play at his cousin''s house when he was free, and tease his little cousin by the way. Rui Rui also likes this cousin very much. Even though the two boys are nine years apart in age, they are surprisingly able to play together sometimes. Just like that, Gu Qingning, Meng Dabao, and Lan Juncheng, three friends who were about the same age, brought their two younger brothers and sisters, and gradually grew up. ¡­ Three years later, the fourteen-year-old Gu Qingning is now a second-year student. Lan Juncheng also entered the first year of junior high school, and was in the same school as Gu Qingning. Only Meng Dabao is still in the fourth grade of elementary school. According to the normal situation, Meng Dabao should be in the sixth grade now. But because of Meng Dabao''s poor academic performance, when he was in primary school, he was left behind two grades, and he fell behind his little friend academically by a large margin. Fourteen-year-old Meng Dabao is not very smart, but he knows that he is not good enough to study. Meng Dabao was very troubled, why couldn¡¯t he be as smart as his friends, and could learn everything? And his family members didn''t mean to rush his studies at all. On the contrary, it seems that he can go to the fourth grade of elementary school, which seems to be very remarkable~! This made Meng Dabao, a little fool, extra rebellious during the rebellious period! He always feels that his parents and grandparents don''t care about him. Maybe if they are stricter with themselves, their studies will be better. So fourteen-year-old Meng Dabao became tired of studying and skipping classes after realizing that he would not succeed in his studies. Even in school, those students who are younger than him but are in higher grades than him, as long as someone tells him that he is stupid, he can impulsively fight with them! Therefore, Meng Dabao, who is fourteen years old and has not yet graduated from primary school, is often called a parent by the teacher. The teachers who taught him even euphemistically told Meng Heng and Sun Yuan many times that they thought it would be impossible for their children to simply go to school, and it would be better to suspend school and stay at home. In this day and age, many jobs require little or no academic qualifications. So there are indeed some half-grown children in remote rural areas or county towns who drop out of school when they are fourteen or fifteen years old and enter society early. They will find a subsistence job outside, and they will spend their whole life working for others. Although Meng Heng didn''t want his son to live a life that could be seen at a glance, his son''s situation really couldn''t be forced. So after careful consideration, instead of letting his son fight and play truant at school, Meng Heng might as well come out and get in touch with the society earlier to hone his temper and willpower. Chapter 489: different options Meng Dabao dropped out of school before finishing his primary school. After he officially left school, he told Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng about it. Meng Dabao originally thought that he would leave school early and not have to go to school to suffer every day. This is an enviable thing. But his showing off in front of his friends made Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng stunned. "Dabao, what if you don''t go to school?" Lan Juncheng disapproved of Meng Dabao''s dropping out of school. Because of the influence of his parents, Gu Qingning also said in an adult tone, "If you don''t read, you can''t even recognize the words, and your head is empty. When you grow up, you won''t be able to do a lot of work." Meng Dabao didn''t expect that he thought it was a good thing not to go to school, but his friends didn''t think so. "Who said I don''t have a job? My dad said he would find me a job!" "Maybe next month I will be able to go out and make money, and you are still spending your family''s money in school~!" Meng Dabao stubbornly believes that not going to school is a good thing. Gu Qingning and Lan Jun originally wanted to persuade their friends, but Meng Dabao didn''t know how to persuade them at all. When he was young, he would listen to Xiao Qingning very much, but when he grew up, the little fool had his own ideas. And in his heart, his sister also occupies a big position, and Xiao Qingning is no longer the most important person in his heart. So he doesn''t think there is anything wrong with his current choice! "Everybody has everybody''s life, you guys love going to school, but I don''t!" "For me, leaving school is what makes me happy. If you think I don''t want to play with me if I don''t go to school, then forget it!" Meng Dabao''s last words were actually angry words. But these words made Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng very angry. They treat Meng Dabao as a good friend, but Meng Dabao wants to break up with them casually! It shows that Meng Dabao didn''t take them seriously at all! Semi-old children are emotionally unstable and easily get angry. Lan Juncheng couldn''t bear it first. "If you don''t play, don''t play!" Gu Qingning looked at Meng Dabao''s attitude, and she sighed in disappointment. "Dabao, go back and think about it." Meng Dabao didn''t take it seriously, and didn''t listen to persuasion, turned around and left¡ª ¡­ Not long after, Meng Heng really arranged a job for his son. Because my son is too young and doesn¡¯t have much education, he can¡¯t do independent work, so he can only find a factory to work as a piecework worker on the assembly line. Meng Dabao was excited at first, thinking that he was finally going to work to make money! I have to work first than my friends, so I can earn a few more years, which must be good! But after working for less than half a month, Meng Dabao realized that this job was really tiring~! Sitting at the workstation every day, working non-stop for ten hours, only half an hour for lunch at noon. At the age of fourteen, he obviously felt that his body was a bit overwhelmed¡ª But Meng Dabao has a part in his heart to let his friends see his success in making money, and support him to continue working! A month later, Meng Dabao received his salary, which was more than 70 yuan in total. He ran to meet his friends enthusiastically, and wanted to tell them the good news. But when Meng Dabao was guarding the gate of the junior high school, he saw Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng, and was about to walk over to greet them, when he saw his cousins ??talking and laughing as they got into a black car, and soon got into the car. The car left¡ª It''s not that Meng Dabao has never seen the driver of Gu''s family drive to pick up Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng. It''s just that he was still young at that time, so he didn''t think it was a big deal. But now, after entering the factory to work, Meng Dabao clearly realizes how difficult it is to make money. But my little friends can pick up and drop off by car, and live a life that many people envy. At this moment, he felt the gap between himself and his partner. Maybe the wages I earn from working hard in the factory are nothing in the eyes of Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng~! He suddenly lost the mood to show off. Even felt that his behavior was a bit ridiculous. So Meng Dabao came excitedly and left depressed. There may be a big gap between him and his friends. And such a gap is not something he can catch up with by working hard... ¡­ On the other side, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng had no idea that Meng Dabao had come to wait for them at the school gate. The studies in junior high school are much more arduous than in elementary school. After school, the two of them not only have to do their homework, but also practice piano. Except for weekends, their lives are full of studies on weekdays. Moreover, the two will participate in the International Piano Competition next month, and they have been even more busy recently. As for her daughter going abroad to compete, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, as accompanying parents, have already arranged their own time. Then they plan to take their son to cheer for their daughter! In addition, after his daughter''s piano competition, Xiaobai just happened to be going abroad to participate in a game industry exchange meeting. Three years ago, once the competitive game designed and developed by him was launched, it was quickly sought after by game lovers at home and abroad. Now this game has become one of the most popular games in the comprehensive list of games in various countries. The reason why it is said to be one of them is because there is another leisure and entertainment game, which is also loved by the majority of game lovers. The developer of this game is still Xiaobai. In addition to the two stand-alone and networked games, the game development team under Xiaobai has developed another large-scale online game, which will be launched soon. Lan Shu has a detailed understanding of the types of games in various countries in advance. The game development team under their group has developed this large-scale online game, which is earlier than the online games that are being secretly developed abroad. She is confident that when this game is launched, it will definitely revolutionize the entire gaming industry! ¡­ In mid-July, when the weather was hot, Lan Shu''s family of four, along with Tang Chu and Lan Juncheng''s mother and son, flew to the European city of Seine together. This time, Lan Dazhuang was busy, so he couldn''t come together. But with his younger sister and his family traveling with him, he can rest assured that his wife will take his son abroad. This is the third time for Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng to participate in the International Piano Competition. The first match between the two was six years ago, when Gu Qingning was eight and a half years old and Lan Juncheng was eight years old. In that competition between the two, Xiao Qingning got the second best result in the children''s group. Although Lan Juncheng did not win the award, his overall performance was excellent. Then three years ago, when Xiao Qingning and Lan Juncheng were eleven years old, they participated in another competition. Because they were under twelve years old that time, they were still assigned to the children''s group. Age advantage plus learning time, the last two people got the first and second good results respectively, and won the gold medal and silver medal in the children''s group of the International Piano Competition. Chapter 490: Exceed The International Piano Competition is held every three years. This is the third time to participate in the competition. Both of them are over twelve years old and can only participate in the youth group competition. There are some contestants in the group who are older than the two of them and have been practicing piano for longer than them. So it is not an easy task to get the ranking. The reason why the two continue to compete is because they both know that only by constantly competing with outstanding people can they see the gap between themselves and others, so that they can catch up¡ª Originally, Junjun didn''t understand these things, but because he has been getting close to Cousin Qingning these years, he was gradually influenced by Gu Qingning and became very self-motivated. ¡­ The game will start tomorrow morning. The plane landed at Seine City Airport. After receiving the contestants and their families, the person in charge of the event took them to the hotel arranged by the organizer to rest. During the previous two visits, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s foreign friend Mark both came to receive them, doing what the landlord wanted. This time Mark was on a business trip to other countries due to temporary business, so he couldn¡¯t come back for the time being. So Mark called Lan Shu in advance to express his apology. Regarding this, Lan Shu didn''t think there was anything wrong with Mark not coming to pick them up. She let Mark work with peace of mind, and if he is free in the future, he can visit their country. At that time, she and Xiaobai will take Mark to taste delicious food from all over the world! Lan Shu still remembers that Mark is more interested in their country¡¯s food than playing games~! At noon, although there was no banquet from Mark, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai still took their children out to a local specialty restaurant for dinner. Before the family of four set off, Lan Shu called Tang Chu to join Junjun. During the previous two trips abroad, because Mark was treating guests to dinner, Tang Chu didn¡¯t know him well, so he didn¡¯t go together. This time is different. Putting aside the fact that she is Lan Shu''s sister-in-law, Tang Chu doesn''t have to be embarrassed about her relationship with Lan Shu. So Tang Chu took Junjun with him, and everyone had lunch together in the restaurant outside. In the afternoon, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng needed a good rest to recharge their batteries. So the two families did not go out in the hotel. Five-year-old Gu Zerui was lively and active, but when Rarity heard that her sister was going to participate in the competition tomorrow and had to take a good rest today, Rarity rarely clamored to go out to play. Instead, he stayed in the hotel obediently, with his parents accompanying him and telling him stories. ¡­ The next morning, in the famous music auditorium in the city of Seine, the procedure was the same as the previous two piano competitions. At the beginning, the contestants in the children''s group performed on stage. By the time the junior group started the competition, it was already past ten o''clock in the morning. This time, because Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng were young, they were ranked first on stage. The competition party never thought that they would be able to compete with those older than them in the junior group at their age. So it was placed in the front, that is, to show performances, as cannon fodder. Even if they won the gold and silver awards of the children''s group in the last piano competition, there is still a big gap between the children''s group and the youth group. Lan Juncheng''s order of appearance this time is still ahead of his cousin Gu Qingning. Fourteen-year-old Junjun inherited Lan Dazhuang''s physique. He was more than 1.7 meters tall. Among the contestants in the junior group, he seemed to be taller than many of them. Only by looking carefully can one see from his slightly green face that he is indeed younger. Junjun began to learn piano when he was six years old, and he has been learning piano for more than seven years. In the words of the piano teacher, he is inherently talented, coupled with his persistent practice over time, Lan Juncheng''s level of playing the piano is not much worse than that of the teacher. Three years ago, he was able to win the silver medal in the children''s group of the International Piano Competition. At that time, he had only learned piano for more than four years. Now that there are three more years of study and practice, Lan Juncheng''s playing level is much better than before! So when he stood on the stage, sat at the piano, and started his playing. In just a split second, the jumping notes turned into a moving piano piece, which surprised all the judges in the audience at first, and then amazed! No one thought that a fourteen-year-old half-year-old boy could have such a level of performance. This can completely compete with those outstanding contestants in the junior group! After Lan Juncheng''s performance ended, Gu Qingning''s performance followed. Gu Qingning''s piano learning time is three years longer than her cousin Lan Juncheng''s. Even though Gu Qingning has never slackened in playing the piano, most of the time talent determines how far a person can go. Her playing level is not bad, but it is not as natural and agile as Lan Juncheng, and it is not so amazing to listen to! But with regard to her mellow playing skills, she can be compared with other contestants in the junior group! In the International Piano Competition, the contestants in the junior group played and performed one by one, and there is still a competition for the youth group. But before that, the judges already know who will be the top three in the first two groups. In the auditorium under the stage, a domestic competition leader sitting in the front row of Lan Shu, Xiao Bai, and Tang Chu turned his head and said with a smile on his face, "Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning performed very well. There may be good news later." With these words, Lan Shu smiled knowingly, and Tang Chu was also very happy. However, before the child won the prize, Lan Shu did not raise her psychological expectations. She thinks it''s good to treat it normally. Otherwise, if you don¡¯t get the prize, you will be very disappointed. But Tang Chu felt that his son would definitely get a good ranking this time because of the words of the teacher leading the team! Fortunately, Junjun was up to the challenge. When the competition of the youth group was over and the rankings of the first two groups were announced, among the top three in the youth group, Lan Juncheng''s name was ranked first, and he won the gold medal in the youth group of the International Piano Competition! Gu Qingning is ranked third. Junjun surpassed his cousin in piano playing in three years. And Gu Qingning was already very happy to get the third place. After all, she is only fourteen years old now, and the second foreign contestant is already seventeen and will soon be eighteen. She believes that if she is given another three years, her piano performance will be much better than it is now! So she is still young, and the future can be expected¡ª ¡­ After the international piano competition was over, the next day, Lan Shu and Tang Chu took their children and started a day trip to Seine City. Xiaobai flew to Lin City of Seine City to participate in an exchange meeting in the game development industry. The game development exchange meeting in 1996 was not very popular, after all, there were not many people in this industry. And Gu Jue, who holds the right to develop two popular games, has become an eye-catching presence in the entire game development exchange meeting! Chapter 491: arrest Gu Jue is thirty-two years old this year. The face of an oriental person looks young. In addition, his appearance has not changed much over the years. It seems that no one doubts that he is in his twenties. Such a young, handsome, and talented oriental youth, any woman will be tempted when she sees him. Although there are not many women in the game development exchange meeting, it is not completely absent. So soon, all the hot foreign beauties kept coming to Xiaobai''s side. And took the initiative to start various topics, trying to make the handsome oriental guy in front of him notice them. Xiaobai in his thirties is no longer the Lengtouqing in his twenties. The group of women in front of him showed their affection, of course he could see the other party''s intentions. If it were another man, maybe he would just accept it with a smile. But he is not interested in beauty! Besides... Xiao Bai glanced around, but he didn''t feel that any woman here could be prettier than his own wife. So this game development exchange meeting really made him feel uninterested. It was very different from what he expected before he came! But his visit this time was not completely fruitless. Because Xiaobai has been involved in the game development circle these years, he has a detailed understanding of some talents in the industry. Throughout the exchange meeting, he avoided those women who wanted to pounce on him, and poached several technical talents in the game development circle. Most capable people are proud. They feel that they can be alone, and they don''t want to be inferior to others. So when they came, they had already thought about it. They just participated in the exchange meeting and looked at the market. They didn''t even think about who could poach them. But under Xiaobai''s absolute high salary, who would feel bad about money? So Xiaobai has successfully recruited talents. After returning to China, these technical talents will find him and formally sign a contract with him. ¡­ The exchange meeting ended, and Xiaobai flew back to Seine City that night. And Lan Shu and Tang Chu had a great time playing with their children that day. Only Gu Zerui, the second child of the Gu family, is the second best for playing with each other. For Rarity, the meals in foreign restaurants are different from the ones you usually eat at home. Gu Zerui ate very happily. ¡­ Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s family of four, as well as Tang Chu''s mother and son, spent two days abroad before returning home. After Xiaobai went back, he went to Haicheng immediately. A friend he met in the Haicheng law enforcement team said that their law enforcement team caught Liang Peng in Haicheng the day before yesterday. Liang Peng was the person behind the scenes who ordered Niu Xiao to cause workers to fall and become paralyzed on the construction site. As for whether there are other instigators behind him, a conclusion can only be drawn after the investigation. Liang Peng fled from Haicheng to a foreign country after an accident many years ago. In the past few years, no one knew his whereabouts. This time he probably thought that so much time had passed, and no one would pursue what happened back then, so he quietly returned to the country. As a result, not long after returning to China, he was caught straight~! When Xiaobai arrived at the Haicheng law enforcement team, Liang Peng was being interrogated by the law enforcement team in the interrogation room. Standing behind the single-sided glass, he could clearly see that Liang Peng was so nervous that he was sweating, but his mouth was stubborn and he refused to reveal who was behind the scenes. He seems to be planning to carry this matter on his own? Seeing Liang Peng''s insistence, the captain of the law enforcement team sitting opposite Liang Peng in the interrogation room said. "Liang Peng, you have to think clearly, Niu Xiao is at your behest, caused the innocent worker to fall from the building, and eventually became a paraplegic." "Before this, there were several other accidents involving workers on the construction site in Haicheng. After investigation, it was found that those incidents were also related to you. One of them died accidentally on the construction site." "If these things are all attributed to you, let alone the death penalty, life imprisonment is certain." Liang Peng panicked when he heard that after being arrested this time, he might spend his whole life in prison and never get out! He returned to China this time because he wanted to reunite with his family, not to go back to jail. So Liang Peng immediately confessed that these things he did were not his original intention, but others asked him to do them! As for who that person was, he didn''t call it out. ¡°I don¡¯t really know each other, I¡¯m just paid to do things, we¡¯re on the phone¡­¡± Liang Peng thought that by saying this, he could not only reduce his guilt, but also not expose the identity of the boss. But he was wrong¡ª The Haicheng law enforcement team will look for clues based on any clues he provides, and will eventually find the person who contacted him and asked him to do harm! Liang Peng was abroad before, and they couldn''t find anyone. But now that Liang Peng is back, domestic investigations, control of various information, and even the boss of the largest domestic communication company are standing outside the interrogation room. It is necessary to find the person through the contact number, even if the other party borrows someone else''s identity to apply for the number, as long as there are traces to follow, they will be able to find it sooner or later! Outside the interrogation room, when Xiaobai heard Liang Peng''s confession that someone was instigating behind him, he already guessed that the person was Gu Cheng! Thinking of Gu Cheng, Xiaobai suddenly discovered that Gu Cheng''s development in Haicheng seems to be much more low-key over the years. Low-key as if he had already withdrawn his influence from Haicheng¡ª This thought made Xiao Bai slightly frown. What he is thinking now may be true! So before leaving Haicheng, Xiaobai asked his friends in the law enforcement team to pay more attention to Gu Cheng''s situation. Xiao Bai always has a bad feeling. It seems that Gu Cheng''s low-key behavior does not mean that he really no longer does things that touch the legal and moral bottom line. Instead, those who do not show the mountains and show the water have plots in other places! ¡­ Xiaobai''s guess is right, Gu Cheng has indeed withdrawn most of his forces from Haicheng! It is good for him to develop in Haicheng. The economy is developed here, and many rich people are willing to spend money. But in Haicheng, Gu Cheng always had the feeling of being stared at¡ª And every time his business gets better, he will be cleaned and inspected by the law enforcement team! So after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Cheng spread out his business and no longer only focused on operating in one city, but developed in multiple cities! Now, his black industrial chains have spread over more than ten cities. There are many criminals under his hands! So Gu Cheng''s seemingly low-key process is actually more profitable than before! In addition to making money, Gu Cheng''s conspiracy against the Langu Group is about to unfold¡ª ¡­ One month later, a news report about Yunshu clothing brand''s clothing dye exceeding the standard, which caused severe allergies to consumers, was published in a newspaper in Yunfeng City. This kind of news can only be published in newspapers in small cities, and there must be someone in the city newspaper office with a good relationship, so that the newspaper office is willing to take the risk of publishing such a kind of damage to the prestige of the Blue Gu Group behind the garment factory news. A few years ago, Langu Group donated a large amount of relief materials during the flood, which can be said to be a national hero enterprise! But such a company was exposed to have problems with the products of its garment factory. Chapter 492: Solution Chapter 492 Solution Good things don''t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. This kind of news that is harmful to the health of consumers is very contagious. So the news was only published in newspapers in a small city like Yunfeng City at first, but it quickly spread to other cities. Even more and more people doubt whether the clothes of Yunshu clothing brand are really harmful poisonous clothes? This news directly led to the rapid drop in sales of clothes in Yunshu clothing brand''s directly-operated stores! Even if the clerks of the store went to explain to the customers one by one, they said that there was absolutely nothing wrong with their clothes. But not many people believed¡ª It is the nature of most people to follow what others say. Even if it is fake news, if it is said a lot, it will make people think it is true. ¡­ Kyoto, in the CEO''s office on the top floor of the Langu Group headquarters building. After listening to the secretary''s report on the situation, Lan Shu immediately asked, "Has the clothing department taken any measures?" The secretary replied, "On the second day after the news was published in the newspaper of Yunfeng City, the regional manager of the clothing department contacted the lady who was said to be allergic to our clothes, and wanted to check her body allergies and find That dress she was allergic to after wearing it." "But the regional manager didn''t find anyone, let alone clothes. The news seemed to come out of nowhere!" After hearing the secretary''s report, Lan Shu was almost sure that someone thought their group was not pleasing to the eye, and deliberately came to find trouble! Although the news is false, as long as their clothing brand issues a clarification certificate, the matter will pass. But for many people who don¡¯t pay attention to this matter, the clothes of the Yunshu clothing brand have caused people to be allergic, and they have heard of it. When they buy clothes in the future, they will naturally avoid this brand. Anyway, there are so many clothes, it¡¯s okay not to buy Yunshu¡¯s. This situation seems to be nothing, but in fact it will cause a lot of economic losses for their clothing brand! Lan Shu was silent for a moment, and then asked the secretary, "Has the clothing department thought of a solution?" The secretary continued to report, "The person in charge of the clothing department has contacted the quality inspection department to conduct a collective quality inspection of various styles of clothes, fabrics, and dyes in the factory." "The quality inspection report is expected to come out in half a month, but within this half month, rumors may spread on a large scale." Speaking of this, the secretary couldn''t help but sigh in his heart. In her opinion, even if this matter is fake, the clothing department must suffer from this dumb loss~! When Lan Shu heard about this solution, she was quite dissatisfied! "Call Yu Yuan over." She said, already doubting the ability of the person in charge of the clothing department. After so many years, the clothing department is no longer controlled by Liu Axing. As the vice president of the group, Liu Axing has more and more important tasks. The current person in charge of the clothing department is one of Liu Axing''s capable subordinates, named Jiang Jia. The reason why Liu Axing recommended Jiang Jia as the person in charge of the clothing department is that this Jiang Jia is very honest and meticulous in her work. But now it seems that once there is a crisis in the clothing department, Jiang Jia''s ability to solve it is too conservative to help the department resolve the crisis. ¡­ On the other side, Yu Yuan received the news that he came quite quickly! Yu Yuan''s office is downstairs, and it only takes a few minutes to go upstairs. On the way here, Yu Yuan had already guessed why Lan Shu called him here. Entering the CEO''s office, he closed the door casually, and just as he met the boss, he heard Lan Shu say¡ª "Do you know the result of the clothing department''s processing?" Yu Yuan nodded, "Jiang Jia''s work ability is fine, but her adaptability is somewhat lacking." Listening to Yu Yuan''s words, Lan Shu understood that the relationship between Yu Yuan and the person in charge of the clothing department should be pretty good. As a vice president, it is okay to speak for subordinates. but¡­ "What do you think should be done?" Lan Shu asked. "The way to deal with it is not difficult, leave this matter to me." Yu Yuan said. "I will personally go to Yunfeng City to see where the news came out. Since the newspaper dared to publish the news, there must be information about the person who published the news. When the person is found, call the police and hand it over to the law enforcement team , should be able to find out soon.¡± "Afterwards, there will be a law enforcement team to prove that it is not difficult to reverse word of mouth, but the group had better spend some money to carry out a wave of publicity for our clothing brand, trying to reverse the public impression." These arrangements by Yu Yuan are very appropriate, and they are the best solution to the current situation. Lan Shu is very relieved about Yuan''s ability. Since Yu Yuan took the initiative to take over the matter, Lan Shu simply handed over the matter to him. It¡¯s just Jiang Jia, the person in charge of the clothing department¡­ "Since Jiang Jia''s ability to work is fine, let''s forget about it." "After the matter is over, you can discuss with Liu Axing and set up a public relations department for the group to deal with similar matters in the future." Lan Shu said. Seeing what the boss said, Yu Yuan couldn''t help raising his eyebrows. "Similar things in the future?" He seemed to think of something¡ª "Boss, don''t you know who we offended? Will this happen in the future?!" Lan Shu couldn''t answer Yu Yuan''s question for the time being. Although she didn''t know who she had offended, as a large group with a multi-faceted business scope, she still needed a public relations department. And the instigator of this incident behind the scenes, since he took action against their group, he will definitely not let it go easily. So the establishment of a public relations department is necessary. "Since we can''t catch the thief for the time being, we can only guard against the thief first." Lan Shu said. Yu Yuan had no objection to the boss''s explanation, so he went to do it immediately! Facts have proved that Lan Shu is not mistaken. Yu Yuan''s work efficiency is very high. It took him only two days to find out who published the news from the newspaper office in Yunfeng City. According to what he said before, he reported this matter to the law enforcement team, and asked the law enforcement team to strictly investigate the false reports of the newspaper, and asked the newspaper to make the unsubstantiated news public. First let the newspaper offices in Yunfeng City publicly apologize in the newspapers, and then every newspaper office in every city that has reposted and publicized the news must issue a clarification! In this way, many people have actually become suspicious of the news that the clothes of the Yunshu clothing brand cause people to be allergic. But how to make them trust the brand and continue to become loyal consumers of the brand depends on the supporting publicity of the group in the later stage. Lan Shu''s publicity was very simple. She directly contacted the TV station and proposed to make a public service advertisement. There are many types of content in advertisements, such as don¡¯t spread rumors, don¡¯t believe rumors, don¡¯t fall into the sky, stay away from scams, and so on. These public service advertisements will be led by well-known actors from the group''s film and television companies, and they will be broadcast on TV stations for free, which can be regarded as helping the TV station to make positive publicity. Among them, the content of the promotional film that does not spread rumors or believe in rumors uses allergic and toxic clothes as the main plot. Wait until the pre-release video is played, anyone with a discerning eye can see whether there is any problem with the clothes of Yunshu clothing brand. (end of this chapter) Chapter 493: public relations The proposal of public service advertisement is still very new in this era. Especially the actors who starred in commercials are all well-known stars nowadays. It is conceivable that after the advertisement is broadcast, it will definitely attract a lot of attention! For the TV station, the most rare thing is that such a manpower-intensive and resource-intensive advertisement is provided to them for free! The leaders of the TV station are of course glad to accept this good thing that came to their door. ¡­ Blue Gu Group Film and Television Department. Nowadays, the film and television department of the group has signed a lot of artists, and there are people of all ages. Because the public service advertisement is purely free, the actors participating in the show do not get any salary. The person in charge of the department asked the artists to think for themselves. Those who want to shoot public service advertisements can sign up first, and then select actors based on the registration status. Although they knew that this filming was for nothing, there were still many people who signed up to participate. Because they know that public service advertisements are advertisements facing the whole society, so the amount of advertisements will be very high, which will help the audience to know themselves and increase their popularity. So more than 50% of the contracted artists in the film and television department signed up to participate in the public service advertisement project. The remaining people did not sign up because of the time conflict between commercial shooting and other work they were doing. Otherwise, they will never miss the participation in this public service announcement! In this way, the project of public service advertisements is progressing smoothly¡ª The group did not spend much money in the whole shooting, but it was able to achieve the expected effect. When the commercials are officially broadcast, every short commercial can see familiar stars. After each advertisement ends, it can be thought-provoking. Finally, whether it is the feedback from the TV station or the research conducted by offline reporters among the masses, the results all show the success of this series of public service advertisements! The actors who participated in public service advertisements also gained more audience popularity. ¡­ Yunshu clothing brand, people are allergic to the ''poisonous clothes'' incident. After the advertisement was broadcast, it changed the audience''s thinking. Many people are thinking about the phrase "don''t believe in rumors, don''t spread rumors" in advertisements. They believe in the quality and reputation of Yunshu clothing brand for more than ten years. Believe in the heroic enterprise that donated materials vigorously during the flood relief. Such a brand will never harm ordinary people! In addition to the official quality inspection report published by Langu Group in the newspaper, they inspected hundreds of clothes, fabrics, and dyes of their Yunshu clothing brand one by one, and found nothing that did not meet the standards. This made the general public finally feel at ease, and believed that the clothes of Yunshu clothing brand can definitely be purchased with confidence! ¡­ Kyoto, the top floor of the Langu Group building, in the CEO''s office. Lan Shu was very satisfied with the latest one-month sales performance report of Yunshu clothing brand. It seems that the allergy-causing ''poisonous clothes'' has passed. During this time, the group''s public relations department has also been established. Even after the public service advertisement was broadcast, the public opinion that changed the audience''s impression of Yunshu''s clothing brand in the later period of the "Poisoned Clothes" incident was guided by the group''s public relations department. Lan Shu is very optimistic about this department where she is temporarily in charge due to the distance. ¡­ On the other side, Gu Cheng, who is now staying in a small third-tier city in the south, saw that his previous rumors were easily settled by Lan Shu and Gu Jue''s subordinates, without them even having to come forward in person! This made Gu Cheng really feel how capable the people under Lan Shu and Gu Jue''s hands are. At the same time, Gu Cheng also envied Lan Shu for finding such a talent. On the other hand, I don¡¯t have such a person under my command who can stand on my own, do things, and carry things. Although this time did not deal a fatal blow to the careers of Lan Shu and Gu Jue! But it doesn¡¯t matter, the future is long¡ª Thinking like this, Gu Cheng already asked his subordinates to do another thing... ¡­ A few days later, bugs crawled out of the sanitary napkins produced by the Yunrou toilet paper factory, the TV series produced by the film and television company under the Langu Group were shoddy, and in the early broadcast of the Xianxia drama, staff and telephone poles entered indiscriminately, and other news reports continued. in the papers¡ª This situation is exactly the same as the previous "poisoned clothes" incident! Before the ''Poisoned Clothes'' incident, the departments involved in the Langu Group may have to be in a hurry. But now, the group has a special public relations department to deal with these matters. Although this department has just been established and the employees in the department have no experience in dealing with emergencies, these people are selected from various departments of the group, with flexible minds and strong adaptability. Faced with these emergencies, the public relations department took immediate action to find solutions to the problems. Regarding the incident of sanitary napkin bugs, the department sent special personnel to find out the truth of the incident. Rumors are all based on one mouth. If the other party has no real evidence and useful witnesses, the public relations department will directly call the police in the name of the company and hand over the matter to the law enforcement team for investigation. The rumormonger originally did this kind of thing for some money, but now she finds out that she is about to be arrested and interrogated, and before she is sent to the law enforcement team, she has already recruited all the truth! In the film and television department, there were staff members intruding indiscriminately, and telephone poles appearing in the distance of the screen. The directors and main creators of the original crew stood up and published newspapers to express their apologies. In addition to this, the original crew members were interviewed by the newspaper and broke the news about the difficulties they encountered during the filming process. After reading the newspaper, many people can feel the difficulty of the crew and the main creative staff. Later, in interviews with ordinary passers-by, some reporters said that when these dramas were broadcast, they waited with anticipation every day. This was their youth, and even if there were flaws, it did bring them happiness! Now, with a sincere apology and feelings, I immediately suppressed those who said that the TV series was shoddy. Many former viewers said that even if there are goofy scenes in the play, they are just minor flaws that do not affect viewing. And if the film and television company doesn¡¯t make the show, they won¡¯t even have to watch it~! So they don''t care about those small flaws at all, but they have to thank the crew and the main creators for their efforts to present them with a good-looking TV series. When the TV stations replayed the old dramas from the previous years, the audience watched them more seriously! Some people even want to see if they can find minor flaws in the play. Finally, the criticism of the shoddy TV series disappeared, and the whole people began to spontaneously play the game of "finding fault" in the TV series. Seeing this, the few local TV stations immediately bought the rights to renew the broadcasting rights of TV dramas, arranged a full range of TV dramas, and broadcast them on TV in turn. The film and television department of Langu Group also received a wave of copyright broadcast fees because of this. The newly established public relations department not only solved the impact of the sudden incident on the reputation of the group, but also brought some profits to the group. Chapter 494: A group of white-eyed wolves? Things have developed to this point, the public relations department of Langu Group did not end their public relations work. They linked the remarks that there were bugs in sanitary napkins and early TV dramas were labeled as crudely produced, with the previous incident of "poisonous clothes", and published an article in the newspaper as an ordinary news information practitioner. Question whether someone deliberately targeted Langu Group, so they repeatedly spread rumors to cause trouble, and wanted to use this to damage the reputation and interests of the group? The release of this conspiracy theory quickly aroused the resonance and recognition of many people in the society. In this day and age, speech is still very open, so local newspapers continue to follow suit and publish similar articles. At this time, regarding the worms in the sanitary napkins of the Yunrou toilet paper factory, although the rumor maker has admitted that she wants to blackmail the toilet paper factory, the masses no longer believe the content of the rumor, but the toilet paper factory has made a clarification . The newspaper clarification this time not only explained the situation, but also published photos of some workers in the sanitary napkin production workshop at work. The workers in the factory are uniformly dressed. In the workshop, they wear white overalls and a white cap that wraps around their heads. The workshop floor is clean and tidy. Not to mention bugs, not even a single hair can fall off! Such a working environment is really reassuring. In addition, the toilet paper factory clarification article in the newspaper is followed by a line of contact information. Their toilet paper factory will recruit ten enthusiastic people to visit the toilet paper and sanitary napkin production workshop in the factory, so that they can see the production of sanitary products in their factory with their own eyes. Interested visitors can write to the factory according to the contact information. The factory will take the initiative to contact those who are selected to come to visit. To those who read the news, Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory was able to let outsiders visit the sanitary condition of their factory with such confidence, which is enough to show that the toilet paper factory has enough confidence in the sanitary conditions of its own workshop, so it is not afraid of external scrutiny. Following the ''Poisoned Clothes'' incident, the hygienic product series produced by Yunrou Toilet Paper Factory has also become a good brand that the general public can use with confidence. This move by the public relations department not only restored the reputation of the toilet paper factory under the group, but also gave the factory''s products a better reputation! At this time, Yu Yuan, who was acting as the head of the public relations department of the group temporarily, understood the reason why the previous boss wanted to establish a public relations department. This department seems to be a idle job in the group to get paid, but at a critical moment, it can reverse the situation when the group''s reputation and word of mouth are damaged! So no matter how you look at it, this department is very necessary. After ?? and other public relations departments perfectly handled the two recent incidents that damaged the reputation of the group, each of the few dozen or so employees in the entire department received a bonus from the group. In addition, an additional bonus was also given to the two employees who contributed the most to solving the two problems. And according to Yu Yuan''s evaluation, the two became the tentative team leader and deputy team leader of the public relations department. When the latter two can become full-timers, it depends on their respective abilities. ¡­ Entering October, the holidays are upon us. This holiday, Lan Shu originally planned to take the children out to play with Xiao Bai. But the day before she left, she received a call from her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang. On the phone, Chang Chunfang cried so sadly that she could barely utter a word. She only said that she wanted Lan Shu to go back to Linjiang City. Over the years, the relationship between Lan Shu and her biological parents and adoptive parents has been maintained. One side is the parents who brought up the original owner, and the other side is the biological parents who are related to this body by blood. The relatives on both sides are very kind to her, so of course she will not give up. Now, it is difficult for her to ignore her adoptive mother who needs her for something. So Lan Shu, her daughter Gu Qingning, and her son Gu Zerui expressed their apologies and promised to take them out for fun next time. Then she explained the reason to Xiaobai. After getting Xiaobai''s understanding and hearing from Xiaobai that he took the children out to play alone this time, Lan Shu was relieved. She immediately called the group and asked the logistics department to send a car to pick her up. On the same day, Lan Shu went to Linjiang City¡ª ¡­ In recent years, from Kyoto to Linjiang City, a highway has been connected in between. The original journey took eight or nine hours to drive, and now it takes more than six hours to reach the destination. But even so, excluding the break and meal time, it was already after six o''clock in the afternoon when Lan Shu arrived in Linjiang City, and it was evening. The car parked directly at the door of the house purchased by the adoptive parents in Linjiang City. Lan Shu got out of the car, and as soon as she walked into the gate of the yard, she saw her second brother Lan Xiuming standing in the yard and sighing. The door of the main room in the courtyard is closed. It seems that the adoptive mother Chang Chunfang should have closed the door in the room and shut the second son out. Seeing Lan Shu coming back, Lan Xiuming showed a surprised expression. He walked up to Lan Shu in a few steps, "Little sister, is it our mother who called you back?" Lan Shu nodded, then asked, "What happened?" Only then did Lan Xiuming sigh, and said helplessly, "Our mother has been in a bad mood recently, and she had some conflicts with your second sister-in-law, so she cried and said that she raised a group of white-eyed wolves, and none of her children Be nice to her." As Lan Xiuming spoke, he still didn''t forget to explain, "Don''t get me wrong, my daughter didn''t mention you when my mother talked about her sons and daughters." Lan Shu said, "Yes." She knew what her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang meant, and she was probably talking about Lan Xinya. But according to Lan Shu''s understanding, except for Lan Xinya, her brothers in the Lan family are all filial sons. How could they be called white-eyed wolves by their adoptive mother? so¡­ "What happened between our mother and the second sister-in-law?" Lan Shu asked. After hearing this, Lan Xiuming sighed again, "It''s not the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law among those parents." He was helpless. "In these years, since our father stayed in the capital to take care of the old man, our mother lived in Linjiang City by herself, and the family was not short of money. Our father would give our mother living expenses every month. Her life was really better than other old people nearby. The ladies are doing better." "Perhaps our mother is getting older, and living a good life is not enough, so I hope to have a child to take care of me." "The elder sister-in-law took Junjun to the capital and never came back. Although the third brother is married, the couple''s work is busier than the other, and they are not in a hurry to have children." "Your second sister-in-law and I are in Linjiang City, and we live close to our mother, so our mother will come to our house to look after the children every now and then." "Little sister, you know that your second sister-in-law and I both work in the hospital. We are usually busy, and your second sister-in-law''s family is taking care of the children, so every time our mother comes to see the child, your second sister-in-law has to run away." Go back to your mother''s house and pick up the child." "This situation is okay once in a while, but if it happens more often, it will really delay work." Chapter 495: caring daughter Chapter 495 Caring Daughter When Lan Xiuming started this topic, he seemed unable to stop it. Lan Shu can understand how much her second brother has been with his mother all these years, how much he has been holding back and no one has said anything. So she stood aside and listened carefully to what the second brother said. Lan Xiuming continued, "One time, our mother called in advance and said that she would come to see the child in the evening. Your second sister-in-law originally agreed, saying that she would go to her mother''s house after get off work to pick up the child." "However, a few people who were injured in a fight suddenly came to the hospital that day. All the doctors were busy. It was already eight or nine o''clock when they got off work. The child had to go to school the next day, so your second sister-in-law didn''t go to pick her up at her mother''s house." "As a result, when we came home, we saw our mother sitting in front of our house." "Originally, I had to explain to our mother that today''s situation is special and the hospital is too busy, but who knew that our mother would get angry at your second sister-in-law when she saw that the child was not with us!" "She said that your second sister-in-law didn''t let her see the child on purpose, and she also took the initiative to mention that she didn''t like Junjun and lost Junjun. She said that your second sister-in-law also had the same thoughts and had opinions on her, for fear that she would spoil the child. It brought out three good things and two bad things, so the children were not allowed to get close to her." When Lan Xiuming said these words, Lan Shu watched her second brother sigh again and again. Obviously, over the years, there have been many problems between the second brother and his mother. The incident that the second brother said was just one of the incidents, and it was also the final fuse that caused the conflict. Lan Shu never thought that Lan Xiuming, the most stable and reliable of the three brothers in the Lan family, would one day be called a white-eyed wolf by his biological mother. Although according to the second brother, the adoptive mother''s original words were that the children are all white-eyed wolves, but this sentence was first aimed at Lan Xiuming. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to recite, and Lan Shu has realized this now. She can understand the helplessness of the second brother, and also understands the mood of the adoptive mother. In this matter, Lan Shu can''t say who is right and who is wrong. She can only try to resolve the problem as much as possible, and then persuade her adoptive mother not to be angry. When the elderly reach this age, many of them will be stubborn and even unreasonable. Sometimes reasoning does not make sense, and the elderly will not listen to reason. Children can only be more considerate. It really doesn''t work, maybe only what the adoptive father Lan Shengli said, and the adoptive mother Chang Chunfang can listen to it. But it is not yet the point where the adoptive father can talk about the adoptive mother. Lan Shu asked her second brother to go back first, knocked on the door of the main room by herself, and called out, "Mom, I''m back, please open the door." Hearing her daughter''s voice, there was movement in the room. A moment later, Chang Chunfang opened the door. Seeing her daughter, Chang Chunfang still had grievances on her face. She heard the movement outside just now, and knew that it was her daughter who came back. Although she couldn''t hear the conversation between the second son and daughter very clearly in the room, she probably knew what her second son would say. Chang Chunfang poked her head out the door, looked outside, and saw that her son was no longer in the courtyard, so she told her daughter. "Shushu, Xiuming told you the situation, right? Why do you think I''m so unlucky? The eldest daughter-in-law hates me, and she takes Junjun far away, and doesn''t come back to see me for several years." "I thought the second daughter-in-law was the deputy mayor''s daughter, so she must be reasonable, but because I lost Junjun back then, she kept guarding against me!" ¡°I live so close to them, I see my grandchildren very rarely.¡± "I shouldn''t have promised them to hand over my grandson to your second sister-in-law''s family! Otherwise, I would be able to see my little grandson every day..." Listening to Chang Chunfang''s remorse, Lan Shu couldn''t help but sigh like her second brother. She discovered that until now, her adoptive mother hadn''t realized how serious it was when she lost Junjun! Fortunately, Junjun is back, otherwise her carelessness at that time would have destroyed a family! Ruined Junjun''s life! Thinking of Junjun who lives in Kyoto now, has excellent academic performance, and won the gold medal in the junior group at the International Piano Competition not long ago... Lan Shu couldn''t even imagine what kind of life he would be living now if Junjun had been kidnapped to a remote mountain village. Although Lan Shu had a lot to say in her heart at the moment, she didn''t say it. She knows that her adoptive mother is angry now, and it is impossible to accept any criticism. If she speaks out what is in her heart, she will only make her adoptive mother think that she is also a white-eyed wolf! Lan Shu is not afraid of being criticized, but at that point, the conflict between the second brother and the second sister-in-law and the adoptive mother cannot be resolved¡ª So Lan Shu comforted her adoptive mother, "Mom, you have to change your mind. You have taken care of Junjun for a few years before, and you know how hard it is to take care of children. Didn''t the second sister-in-law let her natal family take care of the children to help you share?" "If you''re someone else''s mother-in-law, maybe you''ll have fun~!" "Second brother''s son is named Lan no matter what. He is your grandson. Others have worked so hard to raise your grandson. How much less worry do you have?" Lan Shu''s words made Chang Chunfang feel less angry. Seeing that the expression on the adoptive mother''s face softened a little, Lan Shu said again. "Mom, at your current age, you should have enjoyed the blessings long ago. If you feel bored in your free time, you can take a car and go to various cities." "I heard that Linjiang City has set up a travel agency. If you want, I''ll inquire about the travel itinerary, sign up for you, and go out to have fun for a few days to relax?" When Lan Shu said these words, she spoke softly the whole time, with a coaxing look. Let Chang Chunfang feel at ease after listening~! Chang Chunfang didn''t really want to travel, but her daughter thought about her and put her first, which made her feel happy. Seeing her adoptive mother''s mood eased, Lan Shu tentatively brought up the matter of her second brother. "Mom, you also know that the second brother talked to me in the yard just now. The second brother said that the second sister-in-law didn''t want you to see your grandson." Lan Shu said, seeing that Chang Chunfang was about to refute, she immediately went on, not giving her adoptive mother any room to speak. "Actually, I can understand that both doctors and nurses in the hospital are very busy at work." "Especially when several patients suddenly go to the hospital and there is not enough manpower, you have to work overtime even after get off work." "The second sister-in-law was late working overtime because of work, so she didn''t go back to her mother''s house to pick up the child." Lan Shu''s explanation at this moment, in fact, Lan Xiuming had already explained to Chang Chunfang before, but Chang Chunfang didn''t listen to it, because she thought her second daughter-in-law was guarding against herself! Now that the same words are being spoken from her caring daughter, Chang Chunfang can listen to them a little bit. However, her impression of the second daughter-in-law did not change because of this. Chang Chunfang''s complaints about her second daughter-in-law were not accumulated overnight! (end of this chapter) Chapter 496: selfish and mean Chapter 496 Selfish and mean "Shushu, do you think I shouldn''t have promised Xiuming to marry the deputy mayor''s daughter back then? Her family background is much higher than ours, so she looks down on a mother-in-law like me from the countryside..." Thirty or forty years ago, when she was young, Chang Chunfang would not have said such self-deprecating words to blame the other party, commonly known as yin and yang. But now, Chang Chunfang has lived in the countryside for decades. When she was young, she was shaped and polished into a different kind of mind under the influence of life in the village. Even if she has settled down in the city these years, the people she can come into contact with are all elderly ladies who have also experienced short-lived parents and complicated mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. The age they lived in, they were used to suffering when they were young, and their tempers were also tempered to be selfish. Most of the time they only valued their own interests and seldom thought of others. Surrounded by people like this, Chang Chunfang was gradually assimilated, and became the arrogant and unreasonable little old lady. Lan Shu took a deep breath before suppressing her resentment and speechlessness towards the adoptive mother''s statement. If it were someone else, maybe she would have changed her attitude a long time ago, and she would no longer be so angry. But after all, Chang Chunfang has been kind to the original owner for eighteen years. After she came to this world, she has been kind to herself. Lan Shu even Gu Nian Chang Chunfang''s kindness to the original owner and kindness to herself, she must be patient, follow the words of the adoptive mother, and persuade the adoptive mother not to get angry with her son and daughter-in-law. "Mom, you and I know what the second sister-in-law is like. When the second brother talked to the second sister-in-law, no one knew that she was the daughter of the deputy mayor. Didn''t you like her at that time?" "Second sister-in-law definitely doesn''t have that kind of idea of ??family status, otherwise she wouldn''t have married into our family." "What she likes is that the second brother is excellent and sincere, so the two of them can get together and live together for so many years." "Speaking of it, it''s because you and dad educated well that you can train your second brother to be a talent." Hearing her daughter''s flattery, Chang Chunfang only felt happy in her heart. But she suddenly thought that the son she raised at a young age was called a "white-eyed wolf" by her mother. Isn''t this saying that she failed in education? Chang Chunfang realized that she shouldn''t have said that about her son before. Seeing the adoptive mother''s reaction, Lan Shu continued, "Mom, how could there be so much anger between mother and child? If the second brother didn''t have you in his heart, why would he stand in the yard for so long without leaving?" "Second sister-in-law is indeed busy with work, sometimes you have to be more considerate. Besides, the child is not second sister-in-law''s child alone. She has no time to go to her natal house to pick it up and show it to you. Maybe second brother is free?" "If you blame the second sister-in-law, you might as well blame the second brother. As a son, he didn''t make time to get off work early, so he went to the father-in-law''s house and brought your little grandson over." "If you are still angry in your heart, I will call the second brother back later, if not, you can beat him severely to calm down!" Lan Shu said this on purpose, because she expected her adoptive mother to be reluctant to beat her son. Sometimes mother-in-laws are like this, they will only blame their daughter-in-law for family problems, even if they are angry, they will subconsciously treasure their sons. Hearing what her daughter said, Chang Chunfang was suddenly speechless. When Lan Shu saw this, she gave a ''puchi~'' laugh, and then said to her adoptive mother, "Mom, I''m hungry, what shall we have for dinner tonight?" Chang Chunfang knew that her daughter was giving herself a step down. Now she was indeed not that angry anymore, so she followed her daughter''s words and replied, "Whatever Shushu wants to eat, Mom will do for you." "By the way, don''t you like to eat the crispy fried chicken in our previous store? Although the store has been sold out, the owner of that store is now an apprentice brought by your father himself, and the crispy fried chicken tastes delicious. It''s exactly the same as your father''s! Mom will buy one for you to eat later." Seeing her adoptive mother caring so sincerely for her, Lan Shu smiled and said, "Okay." That night, Lan Shu did not go back to her home in Qingyang County, but stayed with her adoptive mother for the night. During dinner, Chang Chunfang was very happy that someone was with her at first, but later, for some reason, she brought up her wife, Lan Shengli. So Lan Shu listened to all kinds of complaints from her adoptive mother to her adoptive father, saying that the two were obviously husband and wife, and their relationship was so good when they were young. Lan Shengli had to take care of his father, so he couldn''t live without people there for a day, so he hasn''t returned to Linjiang City for six years. Chang Chunfang hated getting along with a strange old man under the same roof, so she seldom went to the capital. At the beginning, during the first two years of her stay in Kyoto, Lan Shengli had been to Kyoto three or four times. For the next four years, Chang Chunfang didn''t go to Kyoto, and Lan Shengli couldn''t come back. The couple haven''t seen each other for four years. It''s unbelievable to say this! Chang Chunfang complained that Lan Shengli ignored the family for the sake of the old man. These words were repeated in Lan Shu''s ears, which showed how deep the adoptive mother''s complaints were towards the adoptive father. Lan Shu listened to it, but didn''t comment. Although the adoptive mother complained that it was true that she would live apart from her wife when she got older, but her adoptive father couldn''t come back in Kyoto, and he didn''t intend to do that. After all, his biological father is not in good health. As a son, he can''t just ignore it and see that the old man can''t survive. Perhaps Lan Shengli can persuade the old man to go back to Linjiang City or Tianshui Village with him, but his adoptive mother Chang Chunfang doesn''t want to live with the old man, so there is no solution to this matter¡ª Lan Shu can only help her second brother speak well in front of her adoptive mother. As for other things, she has nothing to do. You can''t let your adoptive father ignore your real father, can you? Although taking care of an old man is a way of thinking as long as you spend money to hire someone, but if you spend more money, you are taking care of outsiders after all. How can you have your own son to take care of him? Lan Shu knew that her adoptive father, Lan Shengli, had also thought of this, so she took care of her father herself. At the end of the meal, Chang Chunfang was so angry that she even hoped that Old Man Lan would die soon~! In this way, her wife will not be dragged down. Lan Shu listened, but couldn''t help shaking her head in her heart. Such a adoptive mother has really changed a lot from the Chang Chunfang she met when she first came to this world more than ten years ago! She wondered if people would become selfish and mean when they got old. She thought that in another twenty years, maybe one day when the biological parents of this body, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, were old and needed care, she would bring the elderly to the home and ask a nanny to take care of them. As long as it is under your nose, you will not be afraid that the nanny will not be dedicated. Therefore, there are still ways to solve the situation where adoptive parents live separately. But Chang Chunfang''s rejection of old man Lan made it impossible to proceed! (end of this chapter) Chapter 497: almost like falling in love Chapter 497 is almost like a broken relationship The next day, Lan Shu called her second brother and told her that she had persuaded her adoptive mother. It just so happened that during the holidays these few days, the children didn''t go to school, and Lan Xiuming''s work unit was also shifted to rest, so he brought his son to visit Chang Chunfang. When Chang Chunfang saw her little grandson, she was still tense, but now she calmed down, happily holding her little grandson''s hand, talking non-stop. Lan Shu watched from the side, and sure enough, children are the best medicine to solve the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This was not only useful in the beginning of Tang Dynasty, but it is also useful in the situation of the second brother''s family now. Second sister-in-law Tian Na did not come today. According to Lan Xiuming, it was because his wife was on duty at the hospital today. Whether this is true or not, Lan Shu doesn''t know. But thinking about it, there was a quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law the day before yesterday. For a while, the daughter-in-law was angry, and it was reasonable to not want to see her mother-in-law. Fortunately, Chang Chunfang''s attention was all on her little grandson, so she didn''t care whether her daughter-in-law came or not. Not far away, Lan Shu''s second brother''s son is named Lan Haoran, who is already nine years old this year. Because Lan Shu hasn''t been to Linjiang City many times these years, she hasn''t seen this little nephew a few times. But every time we see each other, the aunt and nephew get along well. Moreover, Lan Shu found that her little nephew had an expression of admiration every time she saw her. Obviously, when he was not in Linjiang City, his little nephew should have heard a lot about him at home. After her adoptive mother and second brother reconciled, Lan Shu stayed in Linjiang City for another day before returning to Kyoto. Before she left, she invited her little nephew to visit Kyoto when she was free. Hearing the little aunt''s words, Lan Haoran''s eyes brightened. He has always heard from his parents that his cousin, cousin and cousin are all in Kyoto. In the past, when he was young and didn''t remember anything, he had contact with his cousin and cousin, but he hadn''t seen each other in the past few years, and he wanted to meet for a long time. Aside, Lan Xiuming saw his son''s reaction. After thinking about it for a moment, he said to Lan Shu. "Why don''t I take Haoran and your second sister-in-law to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year this year." As he said that, Lan Xiuming turned his head to look at Chang Chunfang again, "Mom, you haven''t been to Kyoto for a few years. During the Chinese New Year this year, come with us to reunite with Dad?" Although Chang Chunfang didn''t want to see her wife''s father, but when she heard what her son said, she hesitated for a moment and agreed. As a mother myself, it''s not easy to express my disgust towards his grandfather in front of my son. That would be too unfilial! So this matter was settled. ¡­ After Lan Shu returned to Kyoto from Linjiang City, the October vacation has come to an end. She talked with Xiaobai on the phone and learned that Xiaobai took her daughter and son to the north for fun and would be back tomorrow. So Lan Shu had no other plans to travel, and just waited at home for the children to return. Two days later, the holiday is completely over. Lan Shu continued to work, while Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui''s siblings also resumed their studies in junior high school and kindergarten. Now Gu Qingning is already a third-year junior high school student, and will enter high school next year, so her study progress is much more intense than before. The stage of a child''s transition from junior high school to high school is very important. Fortunately, Gu Qingning''s academic performance has always been good on weekdays, which saves Lan Shu a lot of worry. Gu Qingning is almost fifteen years old. At this age, many parents worry about their children''s puppy love. Lan Shu was no exception to this, and took this matter to heart. Lan Shu knows that with her daughter''s appearance, there are definitely many male classmates around her who have a crush on her, so Lan Shu has secretly learned about her daughter''s situation in school. Fortunately, her daughter is devoted to studying and not interested in relationships, which makes Lan Shu feel at ease. Lan Shu also occasionally asked her daughter''s views on puppy love when she sat down to chat with her daughter. How could Gu Qingning not know her mother''s worry? She said, "Mom, don''t worry, falling in love is such a waste of time, it will only affect my study." After hearing these words, Lan Shu realized that her daughter was very rational and knew that learning was the most important thing. But then, she heard her daughter say, "Although I have received a lot of love letters recently, none of the boys who wrote love letters to me are better educated than me, and they are not as good-looking as I am. Your daughter and I have high vision." ~!" Lan Shu: ¡­ She suddenly understood that her daughter didn''t consider falling in love, not because she was more rational and loved learning. It''s because she doesn''t like each other at all! Fortunately, my daughter is very good herself, and there are not many male students who can study better than her. In addition, the appearance of boys is also within the scope of her consideration. At this moment, no one in their school can make her daughter look up to her up! This is fine, but learning is the most important thing at this stage. ¡­ Two months later, the Chinese New Year is approaching. This year, the second brother''s family will come to Kyoto to reunite with them, so Lan Shu has made preparations in advance. Because I don''t know whether the second brother''s family will live in the old house of the Lan family, or the eldest brother, or her side, so after discussing with her adoptive father, Lan Shu called a few masons to the old house to repair the house. On the day of repairing the house, Lan Shu followed the workers to the old house of the Lan family. Old man Lan is now in his eighties. He suffered from dementia in his early years and couldn''t remember things. As he got older, he became more confused. When he saw Lan Shu, he didn''t know him at all. It was only when Lan Shengli said the word ''granddaughter'' to him that the old man Lan seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Lan Shu and smiled. "Yes, yes, yes! Granddaughter, my filial granddaughter!" Old man Lan still remembers that after he returned home from homelessness a few years ago, his granddaughter sent him a lot of rice, flour, chicken, duck and fish. That was the first time he experienced the happiness of not worrying about food and drink after wandering for many years. So even though the old man has dementia, he still remembers this incident clearly. Lan Shu and Old Man Lan haven''t met much, and she''s not the granddaughter of the other party, so Old Man Lan doesn''t miss her so much. After the workers who repaired the house started work, Lan Shu chatted with her adoptive father again, and said that her adoptive mother would come to Kyoto with her second brother''s family during the Chinese New Year. After Lan Shengli separated from his wife in the past few years, he was really not used to it at first, but then he looked away. He could understand that his wife didn''t like his father-in-law who appeared suddenly, but he couldn''t understand that his wife could be so cold-hearted that he didn''t bother to visit him once in a few years. This made him feel that the decades-long relationship between him and his wife might not be a big deal in his wife''s heart. So there was a period of time when Lan Shengli was very old, in his sixties, and he even experienced the pain similar to that of falling out of love. Now, when he learned that his wife was coming to celebrate the New Year with him, Lan Shengli''s heart was as calm as water, without any ups and downs. (end of this chapter) Chapter 498: flattery Chapter 498 Flattery Before the new year, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai still have some things to do. The year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce is a must for both of them. In recent years, as President Li has gotten older, he has considered handing over the position of President to young people. The three vice-presidents of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, except for Lan Shu, the other two are not young, and they are all purely nominal. They don''t usually show up in the Chamber of Commerce and don''t care about their affairs. Although Lan Shu has always been the nominal vice president, every time the Chamber of Commerce has any activities and needs to raise funds for development, Lan Shu will actively respond. Lan Shu can be said to be the person who contributed the most to the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce! She is also the most prestigious in the chamber of commerce. After taking that position, all members of the chamber of commerce will have no objections. So President Li means that he wants to hand over the position of president of the chamber of commerce to Lan Shu. Regarding this matter, Chairman Li had privately communicated with Lan Shu several times. Lan Shu didn''t agree at first, but when she saw President Li''s attitude of leaving the chamber of commerce as an orphan, she had no choice but to think about it reluctantly. It was also the same consideration that made Lan Shu finally decide to take over the position of president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce. But before that, President Li promised that as long as he is not too old to be confused, as long as he can still do things for the chamber of commerce, he will still be responsible for the affairs and development of the chamber of commerce. . So five days before the new year, at the year-end meeting of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Lan Shu became the new president of the Chamber of Commerce under the announcement of President Li! The original president Li became the honorary president after he abdicated. Although he is also the president, the future development of the entire chamber of commerce, as well as more real power, will be controlled by Lan Shu, and she will make the final decision! Xiaobai watched his daughter-in-law move from the vice-chairman''s position to the chairman''s seat on the side of the conference table, and he was very happy for his wife. The year-end dinner in the evening was going on as usual. After becoming the president of the chamber of commerce, Lan Shu obviously felt that more members of the chamber of commerce kept coming to her side during the dinner. Lan Weicheng held a glass of red wine and came to his daughter. He is so proud of his daughter! At the same time, Lan Weicheng also proposed an idea¡ª "Shu Shu, Dad is getting older and wants to retire. Although our family''s business is not worth mentioning compared with your group, these are already everything of Dad, and they will all be yours in the future." As he spoke, Lan Weicheng changed his voice, "Shu Shu, when are you free? Take over all the business." Lan Shu didn''t immediately respond to Lan Weicheng''s idea of ??handing over the property. "Dad, you built those counters in the mall bit by bit. Don''t be in a hurry to give them to me. If you want to rest, hire someone to watch over them." "The counter has made money, so you can take your mother out for a walk. You have worked hard all your life, and you should go out for a while while you still have the strength." Seeing what his daughter said, Lan Weicheng didn''t mention the matter of handing over the business. Anyway, when I and my wife are getting older, whatever property we have in the future will be left to our daughter. My daughter thinks about them, and wants them to live a more chic life in their later years, so she will set off with her daughter-in-law and go around the country~! ¡­ After the year-end dinner, New Year''s Eve arrived in a few days. Before New Year¡¯s Eve, Lan Xiuming brought his wife Tian Na and son Lan Haoran, a family of three to Kyoto. When they arrived, they carried big and small bags in their hands, many of which were gifts for eldest brother Jia Junjun, and Lan Shu''s son and daughter. Although there is no shortage of anything in Kyoto, Lan Shu feels very touched by the thought that the second brother''s family brought things from a long distance. It was also at this time that Lan Shu realized that her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang, who had promised to come to Kyoto with her second brother''s family during the Chinese New Year, hadn''t shown up. When Lan Shu asked, she found out that her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang''s biological mother had passed away not long ago. Although she was sent to the countryside as an educated youth when she was young, she lost contact with her family and did not have to provide for her parents. But she is a daughter after all, and her biological mother is not around. For such a big event, her brother, sister and younger brothers still found her and told her the news after many inquiries. So Chang Chunfang went to her mother''s funeral, and she couldn''t celebrate the New Year with them this year. When Lan Xiuming was talking about this, Lan Shu noticed that the second sister-in-law Tian Na was on the side, with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but didn''t say it. Wait for Lan Shu to settle down the second brother, let him go to rest first. And Lan Xiuming was really tired because he had to work in the hospital for 24 hours before boarding the train and sat on the train all the way. So he listened to the younger sister''s words and went to the bedroom on the east wing of the younger sister''s house to rest. Lan Haoran went upstairs with his father and wanted to sleep for a while. As soon as the father and son left, and Tian Na was left downstairs alone, Lan Shu asked, "Second sister-in-law, is there anything else that the second brother didn''t say?" Tian Na heard that she and her sister-in-law are not outsiders, and there are some words that can only be understood by women when they get together and say them. So Tian Na no longer hesitated, and immediately said, "Shu Shu, those relatives who came to our mother''s house are not very good." "I met them once. After they heard our mother say that you are her daughter, her younger brother flattered our mother in various ways and said that he wanted you to arrange a good job for his son." "Our mother is also confused, and she agreed!" "Besides, when our mother went to the funeral for my old lady this time, besides bringing all the living expenses that my father gave her that could not be spent in the past few years, she also took two thousand yuan from Xiu Ming, saying that it was not worth it for decades. When you go back, bring more money, so that you can use it generously." When Tian Na said these words, she felt incredible! What kind of family is the mother-in-law~! Going out and returning to my hometown, I actually brought a huge sum of three or four thousand dollars with me! Judging from the current average salary of more than 400 yuan for workers in Linjiang City, it is really outrageous to go back to a funeral and bring three or four thousand yuan~! Even though Tian Na knew that her mother-in-law did this to save face, it was too much! Hearing what the second sister-in-law said, Lan Shu frowned slightly. Lan Shu believes in the analysis of the second sister-in-law. Her second sister-in-law is the daughter of the deputy mayor. Who and what have you never met? Since she thinks her adoptive mother''s relatives are not very good, there must be a problem! Moreover, flattering and flattering the adoptive mother, letting me arrange a job for the other''s son, is really too uncommon! What Lan Shu didn''t expect the most was that her adoptive mother agreed! Then as a daughter, I''m afraid I won''t be able to make arrangements if I don''t want to? But once Lan Shu sets this precedent, even if she arranges a small position for the other party, it may be discussed behind her back. (end of this chapter) Chapter 499: Year Chapter 499 Year In a large group, sometimes a small screw goes wrong, and the consequences may be impossible to ignore! "Oh~" Lan Shu sighed. It seems that after this year is over, she may have to deal with the problems brought about by her adoptive mother. But no matter what, the family should be happy when they get together during the Chinese New Year. So she lived this year well first. ¡­ New Year''s Eve this day. Morning, Lan Dazhuang''s home on Chang''an Street. Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, Lan Sibo, and Lan Shu brothers and sisters gathered together. Lan Shu doesn''t even remember the last time the four of them celebrated the New Year together. When was it? Fortunately, so many years have passed, even though the four of them have already married, the relationship between brother and sister remains unchanged. This year''s New Year''s Eve, Lan Shu originally proposed to spend it at her house, after all, her house is a little bigger. But Lan Dazhuang said that he is the eldest brother, the eldest brother is like a father, and the New Year must be at his home. He is not afraid of being busy, as long as the younger brothers and younger sisters are happy. As for their father, Lan Shengli, who was also in Kyoto, Lan Shengli couldn''t be there today because the old man Lan couldn''t do without people. Lan Dazhuang planned to get together with his brother and sister first, and then go back to the old house to see their father and grandfather in the second year of junior high school. In Lan Dazhuang''s family, apart from the four brothers and sisters, Tang Chu, Tian Na, and Yu Xia, the three daughters-in-law of the Lan family, although they don''t see each other often, they have a good relationship when they get together. The three of them were in a particularly good mood today, taking care of everything in the kitchen. Xiao Bai sat down and chatted with the three uncles for a long time. Lan Shu had nothing to do, so she moved a stool and sat on it, watching her daughter and three younger brothers playing in the snow in the yard. Every year at this time, it snows in Kyoto, and this year is no exception. It was the first time that the four children got together so well. Even though the cousins ??didn¡¯t meet each other before, now they met, they played together very quickly. At noon, the four brothers and sisters sat at a table and ate happily. No one left in the afternoon, and Lan Xiuming took the initiative to mention the matter that his mother''s relatives had found. It was also at this time that Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo found out that they had other relatives in their family! I just heard from the second brother/brother that the relatives on their mother''s side even asked the younger sister to arrange work for their children? When Lan Dazhuang found out about this, he took it all in one go! "Little sister, leave it to me to arrange work. Although my free-range chicken farm and orchard are already full of workers, it is no problem to put someone in the semi-finished fried chicken processing factory and juice factory." Lan Shu listened to what her elder brother said, and she knew that his elder brother was sharing her worries and not making things difficult for her. But the eldest brother is willing to arrange a job for someone, but the other party may not want to work in a remote village. However, Lan Shu finally nodded her head in agreement with the elder brother''s proposal. It just happens to be able to try to see what kind of temperament the relatives in the adoptive mother''s family are. In the evening, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai returned to Gu''s house with their daughter and son. At home, Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo have prepared sumptuous meals. As for the brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Lan Sibo, they still ate and drank at Lan Dazhuang''s house with their wives and children. The three brothers were happy all day long. ¡­ The next day, New Year''s Day. Lanshu and Xiaobai went to Wei''s house with their parents-in-law to celebrate the New Year as in previous years. Old man Wei is almost eighty years old now. He served as a soldier and fought in wars when he was young, and his body looks very good. But after getting old, the problems on my body gradually emerged¡ª¡ª Especially in the past two years, the old man suffered from severe waist and leg pain. In windy and rainy weather, the pain is so painful that I can hardly get up in bed. During the past few days of Chinese New Year, it has snowed in Kyoto, the air outside is humid, and the cold wind seems to be blowing into the bones! Then the old man lay down again¡ª On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family had dinner, but he couldn''t even serve the table. He put a small table on the bed by himself, and all meals were settled on the bed. Xiaobai saw his grandfather''s physical condition. Even though he was an expert in medicine, he couldn''t quickly relieve the pain on his grandfather. Grandpa is getting old, taking medicine for this disease can only alleviate the symptoms, and there is almost no possibility of cure. Xiao Bai suddenly discovered that the bodies of grandpa and grandma are really old... He thought about the death of his grandma a few years ago. Time is not forgiving, and he knew that his grandpa and grandma would have such a day. It''s just that he hopes that day will come later. ¡­ On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Shu made an appointment with her three brothers to go to the Lan family''s old house in Kyoto today to spend the New Year with her adoptive father. Going to the old house this time, there are only her and Xiaobai. The daughter and son followed their grandparents back to Gu''s house last night and said they would stay for a few days. In the old house of the Lan family, the original three dilapidated tile-roofed houses have been repaired by the mason Lan Shu hired before. The inner walls of the house were repainted with putty, the ground was paved with cement, new beams were replaced on the roof, and the tiles were basically replaced. Although the old house looks the same at first glance, the inside has been renovated. Actually, according to Lan Shu''s thinking, there is really no need to keep this dilapidated house, it is better to tear it down and rebuild it. But the old man Lan loves his home and misses the past, and his dementia is serious. If he really builds a new house, he may feel that this is not his home at all. That''s why Lan Shu only asked people to renovate the house after communicating with her adoptive father. At this time, the four brothers and sisters of Lan Shu and their family members sat around the square table in the main hall of the old house. Because of the large number of people and small tables, everyone sat really crowded. But I can make do with food. Lunch was prepared by brothers Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, and Xiaobai in the kitchen. Because of the large number of people, the table was too small to fit a few plates, so the three of them didn''t cook too many dishes, but the portion of each dish was very large, and there were four full iron basins on the table! My family sits together to eat, no matter what the food looks good or not, for today''s lunch meal, just focus on one and eat enough~! After dinner, Tang Chu and Tian Na took the children back to rest, and when they left, they called Yu Xia together, so that the three of them could get together and talk for a while. The four brothers and sisters Lan Shu and Xiao Bai stayed in the old house, chatting with Lan Shengli. Lan Shengli is over 60 years old this year, and his hair is turning white faster than when he opened the fried chicken shop. Now he has few black hairs. And the body of his father, the old man Lan, is getting worse day by day. Decades of wandering life have exhausted his body. Even though his son took good care of him these years, he still couldn''t bear the years. Three years ago, the old blue man suffered a hemiplegia from a stroke. Even after treatment, he recovered well, but so far he has basically lost his ability to move in one arm and one leg. That''s why Lan Shengli, who is taking care of his son, is getting harder and harder. At this time, Lan Xiuming and Lan Shengli talked about the reason why they didn''t come to Kyoto this year. Lan Shengli didn''t see his wife when he was eating at noon, so he knew something must be wrong. Learning that his wife had returned to her natal home for the funeral, Lan Shengli nodded, with a very calm expression on his face. Having not seen or heard from his wife all year round, Lan Shengli is already used to such a life. So it doesn''t matter to him whether his wife comes or not. (end of this chapter) Chapter 500: arrange work Chapter 500 Arranging work Yun City, on Zaojing Street. Chang Chunfang has returned to her hometown for the fifth day today. After being away from home for decades, when she came back on the first day, she saw her home decades ago, and those memories of her childhood flooded her mind instantly¡ª Chang Chunfang¡¯s parents had four children. She has an elder brother and a second sister, and a younger brother. Standing in the yard, Chang Chunfang still clearly remembered which room she lived with her second sister at that time. Walking into the main room, looking at the black and white portrait hanging on the wall, Chang Chunfang could vaguely see her mother''s shadow in the photo. Even though she hadn''t seen her for decades, she had lost her feelings for a long time, but in such a specific situation, she still felt sore in her heart, and tears welled up quickly¡ª¡ª As a daughter, she felt the sadness of her mother''s death for the first time. Mother had already been buried, so Chang Chunfang, led by her younger brother, went to the grave in the suburbs to worship. Later, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, she temporarily stayed in her long-lost home. Although her mother passed away, her father is still there. The old man is eighty-three years old this year, and his body is as thin as skin and bones. Although he was still able to stand and walk, the old man had to pant for a while when he took two steps casually, and he could tell that he was in poor health. Chang Chunfang asked her younger brother, only to find out that her father was found to have a heart attack a few years ago, and his body doesn''t seem to be serious now, but he might die at some point~! Hearing the news, Chang Chunfang looked at her father with more concern... During the few days at home during the Chinese New Year, she made delicious food for her father in different ways, and tried to be filial to her father as much as possible. ¡­ In the Chang family''s old house, Chang Chunfang''s younger brother''s family lived. Chang Chunfang''s elder brother left early, and died when he was in his early sixties. Her elder brother has a daughter who has already been married, and her sister-in-law was left in the old house. But her sister-in-law also moved out for some reasons a few years ago, so now the house is owned by her younger brother''s family. As a price, the younger brother has to support his parents. The night Chang Chunfang arrived home, she met her younger brother''s two sons. The next day I saw her second sister''s two daughters again. As an aunt, she saw her nephew and niece for the first time, so she naturally had to express something. So she gave one person one hundred yuan as a meeting gift. The oldest niece, who is in her forties, and the two younger nephews, the four of them made excuses a few times, and finally took the money. After all, no one will have trouble with money! They saw that this aunt, whom they had never seen before, was so generous, and they heard that the aunt''s sons and daughters were more capable than one. Especially the third son and the fourth daughter, one married a big celebrity as his wife, the other opened a company and factory, made a lot of money, and lived in a mansion with a garden of several thousand square meters in Kyoto! The four nephews and nieces were very affectionate towards this aunt. Chang Chunfang had promised her younger brother before that she would arrange work for his son. Now that her younger brother has two sons, Chang Chunfang couldn''t help asking, "Which of the two nephews needs to work?" Hearing what my aunt said, the two nephews looked at each other. Then the little nephew in his twenties came forward and said, "Gun, my eldest brother has been doing physical work in the factory. He can still do it when he is young. I can only be fired from the factory! So, can you ask my cousin to arrange a job for my brother?" What he meant by this was that he was the one who promised to arrange work for Chang Chunfang, but his brother also needed a job. Hearing what the little nephew said, Chang Chunfang hesitated. She looked at her eldest nephew. This eldest nephew is about 1.7 meters tall, and his physique is far worse than that of her family~! Do you actually do physical work? Indeed, with such a body, it is easy to lose your job when you get older. So Chang Chunfang hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "I will tell your cousin when the time comes." With her words, she basically promised half of the job arrangement. Seeing this, the two nieces immediately came forward. "Third aunt, my cousin is so capable, see if she can help us too? My man has worked in the factory for seven or eight years and has a lot of experience in working in the factory, but recently he is always being targeted by the workshop director." "I heard that my cousin runs a factory in Shencheng. If my man can work in the factory, he will definitely do a good job! Make more money for my cousin!" When another niece heard this, she also answered, "Third Aunt, it costs money everywhere to raise children. Our family has a lot of children. Because of having children, my husband lost his job. Now the family is so poor that they can hardly afford food." , you must help our family~!" Hearing what my niece said, Chang Chunfang was stunned! She didn''t expect that she had a niece living such a miserable life! So she agreed almost without hesitation, "I will tell our family about your situation, and see if I can arrange a job for my niece and son-in-law." Chang Chunfang feels that they are all a family, and they can help if they can. It is just arranging a job. With so many factories and companies in Shushu, many people must be needed. Anyway, whoever is recruited to work is doing work, and it¡¯s good to help relatives by the way. In this way, Chang Chunfang had a very good life in her natal family this year. Sister and younger brother cared for her very much, and nephews and nieces took turns to visit her and chat with her every day, which made Chang Chunfang feel the warmth of family love that he had not seen for a long time. She has rarely experienced this feeling since her sons and daughters left her side one by one to work on their careers. So after the Chinese New Year, Chang Chunfang left her mother''s house and did not return to Linjiang City, but went directly to Kyoto. Chang Chunfang really couldn''t bear to see those juniors who were kind to her have a hard time. She wants to tell Shushu how pitiful life is in Yunshi, Shushu and several cousins, cousins, and cousins ??who have never met. ¡­ On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Xiuming left Kyoto with his son and daughter-in-law and returned to Linjiang City. On the same day, Chang Chunfang, accompanied by her little nephew, was personally sent all the way to Kyoto by her nephew. Chang Chunfang''s little nephew is called Chang Gui. He is twenty-seven years old and hasn''t married yet. The reason why he doesn''t even have a daughter-in-law at such an advanced age is not because his family is poor and cannot afford a daughter-in-law, but because Chang Gui has a bad reputation since he was a child. People in the city are different from those in the countryside. Every family in the countryside has land, and they can''t starve to death by growing crops. However, living in the city always requires some earning to survive. But Changgui did nothing. Now he is completely supported by his parents, and the monthly filial money that his elder brother gives to his parents goes into his pocket, so he can completely idle about at home. All the neighbors in the neighborhood know that Chang Gui is a lazy person who eats the old and the brother, so no one will marry their daughter to him. So Chang Gui is still a bachelor. (end of this chapter) Chapter 501: not relatives City of Kyoto, Chang''an Street, No. 36. Before Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto this time, she didn''t call her daughter to inform her, but went directly to her daughter''s house. The reason why she didn''t say she was coming was because she brought her nephew with her. Besides, she promised to arrange work for her nephew. It is not easy to say this on the phone. She plans to meet her daughter and then speak slowly. But Chang Chunfang arrived at the place, rang the doorbell, and waited for her daughter''s nanny to open the door, but was told that her daughter was out at the moment. Today, Lan Shu''s second brother is leaving, and Lan Shu personally takes the second brother''s family to the train station. Originally, she planned to arrange a car to take the second brother''s family back to Linjiang City directly, but the second brother refused. The reason is that they don''t need to bother her so much, and it is as convenient for them to take the train. Lan Shu understood that her second brother was thinking of her, and his attitude was firm, so she followed his decision. After Lan Shu finished seeing off her second brother and went home by car, she entered the gate of her main villa, and saw her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor of her house with a strange young man. On the coffee table in front of the two of them, there were various fruit compotes cut by the nanny, which had already been eaten. Seeing Lan Shu coming back, Chang Chunfang immediately got up and walked towards her daughter. "Shu Shu is back~!" Lan Shu could see that her adoptive mother was very happy to see her. But her mood was a little delicate. I heard from my second sister-in-law Tian Na that her adoptive mother promised her natal family that she would arrange a job for her natal nephew. There is no doubt that the adoptive mother is here for work. The young man next to the adoptive mother who ate fruits and mouthfuls of juice, if he guessed correctly, should be the adoptive mother''s natal nephew. Sure enough, in the next second, Lan Shu heard Chang Chunfang''s enthusiastic introduction. "Shu Shu, that''s your cousin Chang Gui, the youngest son of your fourth uncle''s family." "Cousin of the fourth uncle''s family?" Lan Shu looked at Chang Chunfang and said this on purpose with a blank face. Although she sincerely regards Chang Chunfang as her mother, it doesn''t mean that she will accept the natal relatives behind her adoptive mother. After all, she is not Chang Chunfang''s biological daughter. Seeing her daughter''s reaction, Chang Chunfang was startled. Of course she saw her daughter''s dislike for her natal relatives, and she also thought of the fact that Shu Shu was not her own daughter. My natal relatives are indeed not Shushu''s relatives. The momentary embarrassment on Chang Chunfang''s face eased Lan Shu''s expression. It seems that the adoptive mother understands what she means. Then she shouldn''t mention it again, and let herself help her natal relatives arrange work, right? Lan Shu was thinking, at this moment, Chang Gui behind Chang Chunfang wiped his mouth, wiped off the fruit juice from the corner of his mouth, and walked over with a flattering smile. "Hello cousin, although it''s the first time we meet, but I don''t know why, I feel close to you when I see you. Maybe this is the blood relationship that we can''t give up between relatives." Chang Gui''s words made Lan Shu couldn''t help laughing on the spot, "A relative?" Her eyes fell on Chang Chunfang. Obviously, the adoptive mother did not tell her natal relatives that she was not her biological daughter. Lan Shu didn''t want to misidentify relatives, but she still gave her adoptive mother some face and didn''t say anything in public. She ignored Chang Gui''s flattery, but called Chang Chunfang, "Mom, why did you come here suddenly and didn''t tell me in advance?" Saying that, Lan Shu turned her head and said to the nanny not far away, "Go to the east wing and tidy up a room." After finishing speaking, she looked at her adoptive mother asking for advice, "Mom, when you come to Kyoto, do you stay at my house, or go to the old house to meet Dad? I have had people renovate the old house, and it is no problem to live in the house." Lan Shu''s words can be said to help her adoptive mother to think carefully. How to choose depends entirely on the plan of the adoptive mother. Chang Chunfang didn''t think about going to the old house when she came this time. She planned to live in her daughter''s house from the beginning, but when her daughter mentioned her wife, Chang Chunfang felt somewhat hesitant. But in the end she decided to live here, so she said, "I''ll see your dad in two days." This means living in the daughter''s house. Lan Shu nodded, and then continued to arrange, "Mom, you must be tired from the car ride all the way, go and have a rest first." As she spoke, she prepared to take her adoptive mother out to the east wing. Behind him, Chang Gui saw that his cousin ignored him from the beginning to the end, and now he had to take his third aunt to rest. He could see that this cousin didn''t intend to recognize poor relatives like him. But no matter how poor he is, relatives are relatives! It cannot be avoided! So Chang Gui said, "Cousin, where do I live?" Lan Shu really didn''t like to hear ''cousin''. Seeing the other party asking, Lan Shu looked sideways at Chang Gui, "I don''t have much room here." She didn''t make it clear what she said about driving people away. After all, they were brought by her adoptive mother, so she would give her adoptive mother some face. But Lan Shu didn''t expect that Chang Gui was not the kind of person who wanted to save face at all. "Cousin, there are three buildings in your house, why do you have 20 or 30 rooms in total? How come there is no place to live?" "Actually, it doesn''t matter even if there is no vacant room. Your sofa is quite big and soft. I''ll just make do with it and sleep on the sofa at night." Speaking, Chang Gui went back to the sofa and sat down again, obviously not planning to leave. Seeing him like this, Lan Shu frowned. She stopped looking at Chang Gui, but turned to look at her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang beside her. Chang Chunfang knew that her daughter wanted her to say something, and she could tell that her daughter did not welcome her natal nephew. But Chang Gui is her nephew after all. "Shu Shu, Chang Gui sent me all the way to Kyoto, otherwise you can find a place for Chang Gui to live in." During the conversation, Chang Chunfang no longer mentioned the words cousin and cousin, but directly called her nephew by name. Lan Shu heard this and took a deep breath. She didn''t want to care about where an outsider lived, but her adoptive mother spoke up. And the other party sent the adoptive mother to the capital, and it seemed that he couldn''t justify it. But even so, she would not leave this strange man at home. So Lan Shu said to Chang Chunfang, "There is no room at home. I will ask the driver to take him to a nearby guest house for one night." Speaking, Lan Shu asked casually, "Where is his home? Ask the driver to buy him a ticket tomorrow and take him to the train station." This means sending people away. When Chang Gui heard this, he was unwilling on the spot! He looked at Chang Chunfang, "Gu, you promised to arrange work for me!" Listening to what her nephew said, Chang Chunfang suddenly found herself in trouble! From her daughter''s attitude, it''s not difficult for her to see that Shushu doesn''t want to associate with her mother''s relatives. But she brought people... Chang Chunfang realized at this time how easy it was to promise, but now how difficult it is to honor it. She was too embarrassed to speak to her own daughter. Chapter 502: do not spend money to support idlers Chapter 502 No money to support idlers But she had agreed after all, so Chang Chunfang still showed her old face and said to her daughter. "Shu Shu, Chang Gui is here this time to find a job, and he doesn''t know anyone else in Kyoto, can you arrange a job for him?" Don''t know anyone else? Lan Shu was amused, did she know this Chang Gui? But she still held back the words in her heart because Chang Chunfang was her adoptive mother. "Of course you can arrange work. Coincidentally, my eldest brother is in the capital these few days, and his two factories are still recruiting people. Earlier, my eldest brother said that if your relatives on your side need to find a job, he will take care of the arrangements." Hearing her daughter''s words, Chang Chunfang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes~! My own son owns a factory, so it is definitely not difficult to arrange work. Although the nephew is not a relative of his daughter, he is a relative of his son! In this way, let alone the second nephew alone, the eldest nephew and the son-in-law of the two nieces have a way to find a job~! So Chang Chunfang immediately said to Chang Gui, "Xiaogui, your cousin also has two factories. You can work in your cousin''s factory." "What job is it?" Chang Gui asked immediately after hearing this, "Are you also in Kyoto?" After finishing speaking, he still did not forget to flatter him, "My cousin is really capable!" Chang Chunfang didn''t see that her nephew wanted to stay and work in the capital. When she heard her nephew''s question, she answered truthfully. "Your cousin''s factory is not in Kyoto, but next to our village, which is the Tianshui village where I used to go to the countryside to be an educated youth..." Chang Chunfang was introducing it with a happy face, but when Chang Gui heard that the factory was located in the countryside, he immediately lost face! "Gun, are you cheating on your nephew? Who is going to the countryside to find a job after nothing?" "Don''t talk about me, but my elder brother is a serious factory worker in the city. Can he give up his job in the city and go to work with you in the countryside?" Lan Shu raised her eyebrows slightly after listening to Chang Gui''s words. It seems that the adoptive mother also promised her natal family some other things, things that I, my second brother and second sister-in-law didn''t know about. In addition to arranging jobs for Chang Gui in front of her, is she also planning to arrange jobs for other members of her natal family? Lan Shu suddenly felt that her adoptive mother was not self-aware. If it wasn''t for the eldest brother who said that he would arrange the work, then the adoptive mother would let herself arrange for those in her natal family~! And now that she can agree to arrange two people, she will feel that it is okay to arrange more people in the future. Just as she was thinking, Lan Shu suddenly saw Chang Gui turning to look at her, and said. "Cousin, I think you should arrange jobs for me, my brother, and my two cousins-in-law. After all, we are from the city, so of course we have to go to a big city to find a job." When Lan Shu heard this, she really didn''t expect that she had thought that her adoptive mother had agreed to arrange jobs for the two of her natal family, but now it seems that she still underestimated the importance of her adoptive mother as a matter of course. It turned out that it was not two people, but four people who had to arrange work! Lan Shu took a deep breath and looked at Chang Gui. She originally took care of her adoptive mother''s face in various ways, but if she didn''t make it clear, the relatives in the adoptive mother''s family would feel that it was only natural for her to arrange jobs for them. So she said, "You don''t need to call this cousin in the future. I am not your cousin, and I have no blood relationship with you." Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Chang Gui couldn''t understand. "How is this possible? You are my aunt''s daughter and my cousin. How can we not be related by blood?" Chang Chunfang''s heart trembled at Chang Gui''s words. She panicked for a moment, and was about to say something when Lan Shu preempted her. "I am indeed your aunt''s daughter, but an adopted daughter." She didn''t go on, and she didn''t tell others about the wrong embrace of her biological daughter and adopted daughter. Those things go without saying in her opinion. Just let the adoptive mother''s natal relatives know that I have nothing to do with them. But Lan Shu really ignored Chang Gui''s thick skin. "Aren''t you my aunt''s biological daughter? Then you were always raised by my aunt? If it weren''t for my aunt, you would have starved to death on the street long ago, so now you have to repay my aunt and give us cousins, cousins Brothers and cousins ??should arrange work." Chang Gui felt that the other party was an orphan girl, so why not let them handle her? If she ignores them, she will be disrespectful to his aunt, and if she speaks out, she will be stabbed in the spine and scolded to death! Chang Gui thought well, but just as he finished speaking, Chang Chunfang''s expression changed instantly! "Chang Gui! How can you talk to your cousin like that!" Chang Chunfang knows all too well that the reason why Shushu has a good relationship with her and her wife, the adoptive parents, is because of the love of nurturing. Speaking of repayment, Shu Shu didn''t owe them anything at all. They did raise Shu Shu, but her and her wife''s biological daughter was also raised by Shu Shu''s biological parents, and her life was better than theirs. Besides, if it wasn''t for Shushu, she and her wife would still live in the village, worrying about food when they got older. It was because of Shushu that they were able to walk out of the village. They opened a crispy fried chicken shop before and made a lot of money, enough for retirement. So the daughter is not what Chang Gui thought, she is their adopted child. On the contrary, they were able to raise Shushu, which was their blessing in several lifetimes! Chang Gui didn''t know this, and he didn''t take it seriously when Chang Chunfang scolded him. "Auntie, am I wrong? You and your uncle raised her, and she is capable now, so she should repay her kindness." Hearing this, Chang Chunfang became a little angry. "Chang Gui, if you say that again, I won''t care about arranging work for you!" Chang Chunfang knew very well what her nephew cared about most. Listening to Chang Chunfang''s words, Chang Gui really shut up. Chang Chunfang looked at her daughter, "Shushu, Chang Gui doesn''t know the situation, so don''t be angry with him." Of course it is impossible for Lan Shu not to be angry, but she feels that it is not worth getting angry with such a person. And as long as I don¡¯t care about arranging work for this Changgui, I don¡¯t know who will be angry next~! So Lan Shu shook her head, and said to Chang Chunfang, "Mom, since he doesn''t like the job arranged by elder brother, then forget it, anyway, no one can go to elder brother''s place if he wants to." Hearing what Lan Shu said, Chang Gui asked tentatively, "Then, cousin, will you arrange work for us?" Lan Shu looked sideways at Chang Gui, and sneered, "We are not relatives, so why should we arrange work for you?" After finishing speaking, she did not forget to add, "My companies and factories recruit people every year, and anyone who is capable and qualified for the position can be recruited." "If you want to find a job, you can apply for it. Of course you can stay if you have the ability. If you don''t have the ability, no one will spend money to support idlers every month." (end of this chapter) Chapter 503: not owe them Chapter 503 is not owed to them When Chang Gui heard Lan Shu''s words, he became unhappy on the spot! He looked at Chang Chunfang, "Gun, you don''t care about what she said like that? You promised to arrange work for us~!" Chang Chunfang originally thought that it should not be difficult for her daughter to arrange a job for her relatives. But now that she heard her daughter say that she would not spend money to support idlers, after thinking about it, she also felt that no one really wants to spend money to support idlers~! So she has begun to regret that she was soft-hearted at the time, and agreed to arrange work for her nephews and nephews-in-law. So Chang Chunfang looked at her nephew and persuaded her, "Chang Gui, although your cousin''s factory is in the country, the factory is definitely not bad. If you have time, I will take you to see it in a few days." Chang Chunfang knew that her daughter didn''t want to take care of this matter, so she didn''t force it, and instead tried her best to persuade her nephew to go to her son''s factory. They are all relatives. Even if Da Zhuang spends money to support idlers, he will suffer a little bit. Regarding the matter of her own son, Chang Chunfang felt that she still had a little say. But her persuasion could not change Chang Gui''s mind. When people go to high places, who will live worse and worse, leave the good city and go to work in the countryside? Chang Gui did not see the two factories of his cousin mentioned by his aunt, but in his impression, what kind of decent factories can there be in the countryside? He just wants to enter a big company, find a casual job, and get a high salary every month, and it will be enviable if he talks about it. So Chang Gui looked in front of him again, his aunt, the rich adopted daughter. "Cousin, I didn''t speak well just now, don''t take it for granted, but you really want to help me with work. Even if we are not related by blood, you are still my aunt''s daughter, aren''t you?" This is too hard, let¡¯s go soft. In terms of being obedient, Lan Shu walked to her current position step by step, and people around her flattered and flattered her. The two sentences Chang Gui said were really nothing. Besides, just now he acted as if he had to arrange work for him. Of course, Lan Shu would not let go of the past just because he softened his tone at this moment. As she said, there are plenty of jobs, and those who can live there. Want to work even if you have no skills, the world is not such a good thing. Facing Chang Gui''s request, Lan Shu looked at Chang Chunfang silently. People are brought by the adoptive mother. At this time, after clarifying their attitude, the adoptive mother should also take him away. Seeing Lan Shu''s eyes, Chang Chunfang certainly knew what Shu Shu meant. Although she still hopes that her nephew can have a job she likes, but Shushu disagrees, and she will not force it. "Chang Gui, why don''t you visit your cousin''s factory in a few days..." "Gu! How can you do this? Aren''t you talking about your words and lying to us?" When Chang Gui heard that even his cheap aunt didn''t help him speak, it was like cutting his own way with his own hands! This made him very angry, and he opened his mouth to complain and question. Hearing that her nephew used the word ''cheat'' to describe her failure to do what she promised, Chang Chunfang felt very uncomfortable. Originally, she should be grateful for helping her nephews arrange work, but now, she feels a little ashamed of her nephews and nieces and sons-in-law. Chang Chunfang lowered her head, not knowing what to say. Seeing her adoptive mother like this, Lan Shu couldn''t help but sigh. When the adoptive mother agreed, she didn''t think about the consequences, and now she''s in a dilemma. Seeing her adoptive mother like this, she couldn''t bear it. But Lan Shu also had her persistence in her heart. Some bottom lines cannot be broken, because once this incident breaks her bottom line, there will be more similar things happening in the future. So Lan Shu said, "Mom, big brother will give you a chance when it comes to work. It''s up to them to choose whether they want it or not. Don''t think too much about other things." Although Lan Shu was talking to Chang Chunfang, she was talking to Chang Gui. Her attitude is very clear, there is a job, but it is not provided by her. As for that job, whether you want it or not, no one is forced. After finishing speaking, seeing her adoptive mother still looking sorry, Lan Shu said again, "Mom, you haven''t been back for decades. Once you go back, you promised to find jobs for your relatives. This is enough to think about family affection." Speaking, Lan Shu looked at Chang Gui again, and continued, "If others still pick and choose, then you can just ignore this matter, anyway, you don''t owe them anything~!" Hearing Lan Shu''s words, Chang Chunfang suddenly recovered from her guilt. yes! She didn''t owe her nephews to them. Helping herself is out of consideration for love, but if she doesn¡¯t help, no one can say anything to her. After all, when her family chose her to be an educated youth in the countryside, her relationship with her family had already been severed. And at that time, even her younger brother was only a few years old, and these nephews and nieces didn''t exist at all. Even if I think about my family, I can¡¯t think about them~! So Chang Chunfang looked at Chang Gui, "Xiaogui, whether you want to work in your cousin''s factory or not, you can choose for yourself later on." After finishing speaking, Chang Chunfang added, "It''s not early today, Shushu will arrange a place for you to live in later, go to rest early." Lan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her adoptive mother was still awake. Afterwards, without waiting for Chang Gui to say anything, she had already taken her adoptive mother out to the east wing. Behind him, Chang Gui saw that his adopted aunt, Auntie Cheap, didn''t take him seriously at all, and his face turned cold instantly! That night, Chang Gui called his father at home and said that Sangu''s words were not worth talking about. When Chang Chunfang''s younger brother Chang Mao heard this, his heart suddenly became angry! When his third sister went to the countryside to be an educated youth, although he was young, he was the one who hated her the most in his family. He thought that the relationship between himself and the third sister would not disappear even after decades, but now it seems that the third sister doesn''t treat him as a younger brother at all! "Dad, you have to come to this matter in person, I''m not good at talking." Chang Gui said on the phone. He also understands that he is a nephew, so how can a younger brother speak up? "Or Dad, you ask Grandpa to come forward, and whether the future descendants of our old Chang family can make a good appearance and honor the old Chang family, it depends on whether Sangu can help you!" Chang Gui continued to make up his mind. . After saying this, Chang Gui suddenly felt that his move was really wonderful~! Even if the third aunt doesn''t give him face, and doesn''t give his father the face of his younger brother, he can''t even listen to the old man, right? Besides, the old man has heart disease, so he can''t breathe. As long as the old man speaks, how dare she disobey him? Otherwise, she just disliked the old man and wanted her father to die soon! On the phone, Chang Mao heard what his son said, and he immediately thought it was a good idea! So he comforted his son, "Don''t worry, you can''t get away with arranging work with your brother. I will tell your grandpa tomorrow and ask your grandpa to call your aunt himself!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 504: lets go Chapter 504 Let''s go if you have nothing to do "Just calling is not enough, Dad, you don''t know how stingy my aunt''s adopted daughter is, you must come to this matter yourself!" "In front of an elder, how dare she make a mistake?" Chang Gui said. In Chang Gui''s view, it is only natural for the younger generation to be afraid of the elders. If his father can come to support him, he will have the confidence to speak. Chang Gui could see that his cheap aunt didn''t take him too seriously! But his father is different. From Aunt Cheap''s attitude towards his father during the Chinese New Year, it can be seen that the two siblings still have feelings for each other. Chang Mao originally planned to ask his father to call the third sister, but now he heard what his son wanted and insisted that he make a trip. Arranging work for the sons is not a trivial matter, only when the sons live well and think about all the things I have done for them in the future, can they be more filial when they are going to retire~! Chang Mao thought about it, and finally agreed, "Wait, I''ll buy a ticket to go to Kyoto tomorrow!" The phone call ended with Chang Gui nodding in satisfaction. He knew that since he was assigned a job, he would definitely not be able to escape. ¡­ The next day, Lan Shu got up early in the morning and had breakfast before going out. After the holidays are over after the year, and all walks of life resume work, she, the president of the group, will also be busy. The driver, Master Zhang, was already waiting outside the gate. Lan Shu went out and was about to get in the car when a person suddenly jumped out beside her¡ª "Cousin, are you going out so early? I''m going to see my aunt." Chang Gui smiled flatteringly, and his reasons made it impossible for Lan Shu to refuse him to enter her house. Early in the morning, when she met someone she didn''t want to see, Lan Shu sighed inwardly. She wanted to leave directly, but when she thought of letting a stranger stay in her home after she left, who knows what would happen? So Lan Shu had to temporarily change the itinerary, let Master Zhang wait at the door, and turned to go home by herself. ¡­ Half an hour later, Chang Chunfang got up and went downstairs to have breakfast in the restaurant. On the dining table, there are sweet and delicious hand-ground soybean milk, soup-filled steamed buns with thin skin and big stuffing, pancakes with eggs and leeks, with thick slices of ham sandwiched inside, and several small desserts, as well as nuts and fruits after the meal platter. Beside Chang Chunfang, where can Chang Gui normally eat such a hearty breakfast? Had the chance to eat it today, and his eyes were never far from the things on the table! Typically eating what¡¯s in the bowl and looking at what¡¯s on the table. After the two finished their meal, Lan Shu said to Chang Chunfang, "Mom, today I will take you to see where Dad lives." Lan Shu didn''t want strangers in her home, so she found an excuse to take her adoptive mother away, and also spent Chang Gui. Hearing what her daughter said, Chang Chunfang wasn''t ready to see her wife at first, but now that it was mentioned, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay then." So a few minutes later, Lan Shu took her adoptive mother, and Chang Gui who was behind her, got into the car together and headed for the old house of Lan''s family. The location of the old house is also in the urban area, not too far from Chang''an Street, it takes about ten minutes by car. In the house, Lan Shengli had just taken care of his father after breakfast, and was about to help his father for a walk in the yard to move his body when he heard the knock on the door. Lan Shengli doesn''t know many people in Kyoto now, except for his sons and daughters, they are his cousins. A few days ago during Chinese New Year, his sons and daughters had already visited him on the second day of junior high school. He wondered if his cousin came this time? As soon as he opened the door, what Lan Shengli saw was his daughter and his long-lost wife standing outside the door. "Dad, my mother came to see you." Lan Shu said, and walked towards the yard. Seeing this, Chang Chunfang also subconsciously walked inside. Having not seen her wife for several years, when Chang Chunfang suddenly saw someone, she felt an unnatural sense of strangeness in her heart. This situation did not even occur to her. On the opposite side, Lan Shengli was slightly taken aback when he saw Chang Chunfang, and then there was no other reaction. Immediately following, he looked up at the strange young man behind Chang Chunfang. "Is this your natal relative?" While talking, Lan Shengli moved his eyes and looked at his wife. Chang Chunfang didn''t think about bringing her nephew here, her wife already knew about it. Who said it? Chang Chunfang subconsciously looked at her daughter. My first reaction was that Shushu didn''t want to arrange a job for her natal juniors, so she sued her in front of her wife? Chang Chunfang is actually a little afraid of her wife deep down in her heart. This fear is purely her own idea that men are superior to women, thinking that men are the pillars of the family and women are vassals. Chang Chunfang felt a little guilty. "Yes, this is my brother''s second son, named Chang Gui." Chang Chunfang said, looking at her daughter, she was still a little unhappy about her daughter''s complaint. How could Lan Shengli fail to understand what his wife was thinking at the moment? He knew that his wife had misunderstood Shushu, so he immediately made it clear¡ª "A few days ago, I heard from Xiu Ming that you went back to your natal family a few years ago, and you stayed at her natal home during the Chinese New Year. Now that you bring a stranger, I think he looks a little like you, so I think it should be a relative of your natal family. " Hearing her wife''s explanation, Chang Chunfang was startled, and then she suddenly realized that she had wrongly blamed her daughter! She immediately cast an apologetic look at her daughter. But Lan Shu didn''t care about these things. The only thing she thinks about is when will the adoptive mother, the nephew, leave the capital? When Chang Gui saw his uncle, he was quite sweet-talking. From his aunt''s adoptive daughter''s attitude towards his uncle, Chang Gui can see that his uncle''s words should be very important~! So he flattered his uncle in order to have the opportunity to arrange work for himself. Facing Chang Gui, he smiled and called himself, "Uncle." Also earnestly asked him if he was in good health, Lan Shengli took an extra look at his nephew, his wife. Lan Shengli has lived a long life, and when he was young, he worked in the village propaganda department again, and he has come into contact with many people! He could tell at a glance that Chang Gui was a ''human spirit! '' When such a person is by his wife''s side, it is easy to lead his wife by the nose. But seeing Shushu beside his wife, Lan Shengli felt relieved. With Shushu around, my wife won''t do too stupid things. Chang Chunfang is here this time. As a daughter-in-law, she naturally wants to see her father-in-law. Old man Lan was ill a few years ago, and now he is paralyzed, unable to move half of his body, his mouth is a little crooked, and he can''t speak clearly when he is angry. In addition, he had already had severe dementia, and he didn''t know many people at all, let alone Chang Chunfang. So Chang Chunfang said a few words to the old man Lan out of politeness, but when she found that there was no response, she stopped going to her father-in-law. Chang Gui who came with Chang Chunfang is far away. Chang Gui doesn''t even have to be filial to his father at home, let alone an old man who would put half his leg in a coffin? Lan Shengli could see his wife''s rejection of his father, and his wife''s nephew''s dislike of his father. So he simply said to the two, "Come and see, if you have nothing to do, go." Even if it was his wife whom he had not seen for many years, Lan Shengli did not hesitate to speak. He was already tired of taking care of his father, and he didn''t have the mind to deal with others. (end of this chapter) Chapter 505: no emotion Chapter 505 Lost feelings When Chang Chunfang heard that she had not been here for a long time, her wife drove her away. This made her widen her eyes in surprise for a moment, wondering what her wife was going to do? Are you angry with yourself? Because I haven''t come to see him for a few years? Chang Chunfang thought about it differently, and felt that if this was the reason, then she could actually understand it. So Chang Chunfang took a deep breath, trying to explain that it wasn''t that she didn''t want to come. But when the words came to his lips, Chang Chunfang swallowed them down again. Is she going to say that the reason for not coming is that she doesn''t want to take care of her father-in-law? She knows that her wife understands this kind of thing in her heart, but if she says it, it will appear that she is too selfish and unfilial! Chang Chunfang was silent, and after a while, she said to her wife, "Then I''ll go first." When she said this, Chang Chunfang suddenly felt a feeling of affection between herself and her wife, as if they were separated by a wall at this moment! Lan Shengli didn''t say anything more, he nodded, and then watched his wife and his wife''s natal relatives walk out of the house together¡ª Lan Shu on the side was only surprised when she saw this scene. Since when did the relationship between adoptive father and adoptive mother become so difficult to talk about? As if feeling the strange look in her daughter''s eyes, Lan Shengli looked at Lan Shu, his face softened, and his tone was no longer the coldness before. "Shushu, your mother is in the capital these days, so you should be more patient. If her natal relatives make any requests that shouldn''t be made, just tell me." When Lan Shu heard this, she nodded. Then she saw her adoptive father sigh again, and continued, "I have nothing to do here, so you can go back too." Different from when he let his wife go, Lan Shengli thought that his wife didn''t want to stay here, so he didn''t force it. Let her daughter go because Lan Shengli knows that her daughter is very busy on weekdays and there is no need to waste time here. Listening to what her adoptive father said, Lan Shu nodded again. The adoptive mother is still waiting outside, she really can''t stay for long. "Then I''ll come to see you next time." Lan Shu said, and she turned and walked out of the old house after hearing her adoptive father say "Yes." Outside the door, Chang Chunfang and Chang Gui were talking. When Lan Shu approached, Chang Gui could still hear Chang Gui complaining, "The old man is so noisy, I feel like throwing up when I get close, but luckily you don''t have to wait on the old man." Chang Chunfang nodded subconsciously when she heard this, and then she saw her daughter walking out. "Shushu, did your dad say anything? Is he angry?" Regarding this point, Chang Chunfang was not sure. Lan Shu shook her head, but did not answer her adoptive mother''s question. She could see that her adoptive father was not angry, but calm and calm. This reaction is actually worse than being angry! Being angry and angry because of feelings. Without feelings, it doesn''t matter to him what the other party does. The adoptive father should be in such a situation now. Chang Chunfang didn''t see the worry in Lan Shu''s eyes, she thought her daughter shaking her head was telling her that her wife was not angry. Chang Chunfang felt at ease now. "Then let''s go back first, and I will come to see your dad in a few days." As Chang Chunfang said, she was already walking towards the car parked in front of the Lan''s old house. Seeing this, Chang Gui immediately followed. Different from Chang Chunfang, Chang Gui could see that Lan Shu''s shaking her head might have other meanings. But that doesn''t matter, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn''t have to remind his aunt to make his aunt more trouble. At this stage, the most important thing for him is to arrange work, and he doesn''t care about other things. ¡­ In the evening, Lan Shu had just finished talking on the phone with Xiao Bai, who was on a business trip, and then called her in-laws'' home to listen to the voices of her daughter and son. Then something unexpected happened to her! ¡ª Chang Gui suddenly told Chang Chunfang that his father had come to Kyoto and now he needed to go to the train station to pick him up. This incident caught Chang Chunfang by surprise! But soon, Chang Chunfang was afraid that her younger brother was coming to the capital for the first time, what if he got lost? So Lan Shu could only send a car and ask the driver to take her adoptive mother to the Kyoto train station to pick her up. An hour later, Chang Chunfang brought her younger brother Chang Mao, and they came back together with big bags and small bags. Chang Mao is already in his fifties and almost sixty years old this year. His physical condition is not bad, but his hair is already gray, and he looks like an old man, even older than Chang Chunfang. Chang Mao came here this time because he wanted others to arrange work for his son, so he brought a lot of things when he came. A jar of fruit candy, a box of drinks, a basket of home-made salted duck eggs, and a stick of sausage. Chang Mao put all his things on the tea table in the living room of Lan Shu''s house as soon as he arrived, and then said to Lan Shu in a good voice, "Niece, my two sons'' work arrangements are up to you." Lan Shu: ¡­ She frowned on the spot and looked at her younger brother, her adoptive mother. "You sent the things to the wrong person, you should take them back. It''s not me who arranges work for your son, but my elder brother." The other party forcefully gave gifts as soon as they met, and then talked about moral kidnapping, which made Lan Shu have a very bad impression of him. Even if the other party is an old man, she doesn''t want to give face at all. She just rejected Chang Gui yesterday, and today Chang Gui called his father. Lan Shu couldn''t believe that Chang Gui''s father didn''t know about her rejection. So the other party is pretending to be confused~! Lan Shu is definitely not used to this kind of person! She looked at her adoptive mother, "Mom, how many relatives do you have coming? Let me know in advance next time." Chang Chunfang understood that her daughter was unhappy. But before her brother came, she didn''t tell her about it. Regarding the matter of her adoptive mother''s family, Lan Shu thought about it, and decided to find an excuse to go upstairs, and called her elder brother to come over. She is an outsider, so it''s hard to say some things, and even if she said it, her adoptive mother and other relatives of her natal family would not hear it. So she can only invite the eldest brother out, and let the elder brother who can hold the scene handle it! ¡­ On Chang''an Street, in a three-storey villa not far from Lan Shu''s home, Lan Dazhuang received a call from his younger sister. Hearing the younger sister''s brief explanation of the current situation at home, Lan Dazhuang immediately went out, Get on the bike and go to my little sister''s house¡ª After arriving, in the living room on the first floor of Lan Shu''s home, Chang Mao was already telling Lan Shu how difficult it was for his sons, how difficult his family''s life was, and how their old Chang''s family depended on him. This son shines on the lintel! When Lan Dazhuang entered the door and heard this, he immediately asked loudly in puzzlement, "It''s not easy for your Chang family, what''s the matter with my little sister?" "Your son can''t shine on the lintel, it''s because you have no ability~!" Lan Dazhuang strode up to his little sister, and said to Chang Mao, Chang Gui and his son. (end of this chapter) Chapter 506: own choice Chapter 506 Own choice Chang Chunfang felt a little guilty when she saw her eldest son appear. Chang Chunfang actually wanted to stop what her brother said to her daughter just now. But her brother''s rhetoric after another, she couldn''t get in at all. Chang Chunfang was soft-hearted, and also cared that he was her own younger brother, so she couldn''t say anything. Even hearing from her younger brother that her nephew''s job arrangement was arranged and that she was the lintel of Guangyao Chang''s family, she had acquiesced in her heart to her younger brother to continue talking. Perhaps the words of the younger brother can soften the heart of the daughter? But now, here comes her son¡ª Chang Chunfang knows all too well that her eldest son is just a reckless guy with a single-minded mind! As soon as he came, the younger brother wanted his nephews to stay in the big cities and find good jobs, which was basically out of the question! Sure enough, after interrupting Chang Mao''s words, Lan Dazhuang continued, "I originally wanted to arrange jobs for you for the sake of my relatives. Since you don''t like my small factory in the countryside, then I don''t care about arranging work." "As for the matter of you looking for my little sister to work, I advise you to stop thinking about it. My little sister is not related to your Chang family. Why don''t you ask yourself why before you come to her and say this? " Lan Dazhuang couldn''t see his little sister being bullied at all. In his eyes, these relatives from the mother''s family ran to his little sister nagging about work, and the little sister was really wronged! "This is my little sister''s house, you outsiders don''t stay here." Lan Dazhuang''s words, since there is no room for the other party to refute, he is going to drive him away! Lan Dazhuang had already left Chang Mao and his son speechless in just one face-to-face meeting. The two of them were not silenced by Lan Dazhuang''s words, but because Lan Dazhuang''s size was so intimidating that they dared not say anything. So Chang Mao could only turn his head to look at his sister Chang Chunfang, "Third Sister, my father told me before I came that you must help Xiaogui and Dazheng brothers arrange their jobs." Seeing that his words are not good, Chang Mao will directly move his father out! "Third sister, you are also aware of our father''s illness, he only has this one wish, you must not make father angry~!" Chang Mao said again. When Chang Chunfang heard her brother''s words, she knew that her father had a heart attack, and he might die immediately if he got emotional! This is no small matter, it is a life! Chang Chunfang originally didn''t intend to force her daughter to do anything, but now, her father''s life cannot be ignored. Even if she wiped her face away, she still wanted her daughter to help her two nephews! So Chang Chunfang changed her original silence, and looked at her daughter, "Shushu, just treat it as a help for mom, and arrange a job for them..." Lan Shu listened to what her adoptive mother said, and said in her heart that if she wasn''t angry, it would be a lie. She has a bottom line in her heart, and her adoptive mother''s current behavior is forcing herself to lower the bottom line! Aside, when Lan Dazhuang heard what his mother said, his eyes widened slightly in surprise, "Mom, what are you talking about?!" He didn''t understand his mother''s thoughts very much. It used to be to the biological daughter, but now it is to the relatives of the natal family. Could it be that they are the only children raised by your side that are not important, and they can feel wronged and give in at will? Lan Dazhuang just wanted to drive away the two relatives who had never met in the little sister''s house, and thought that the matter would be over. But now, what the hell, Lan Dazhuang couldn''t help but start to get angry! "Mom, stop talking! If you do this, it will only make our sons and daughters feel cold!" Of course Chang Chunfang knew she was wrong, but her own father had a heart attack, and her father''s life was at stake, so she couldn''t care less about it. She ignored her son''s words, but continued to look at her daughter, "Shushu, just treat it as a help to mother, and mother is begging you for this..." Lan Shu took a deep breath, and had to say that Chang Chunfang knew very well that she couldn''t refuse her proposal. After all, the original owner was raised by her. Even if he repays the favor for the original owner, he can''t see her without asking for words. He still insists on not caring about anything. only¡­ "Mom, do you think it''s worth consuming the affection between our mother and daughter to seek work for others?" Lan Shu spoke in a calm voice, with alienation in her tone. "I¡­" Chang Chunfang opened her mouth, she understood what her daughter meant. Consuming the family relationship between mother and daughter, that is, once Shushu helps her achieve this, the mother-daughter relationship between her and Shushu may end like this... Although Chang Chunfang understood, she still felt lucky in her heart. I just ask my daughter to help me, how can I erase my love for nurturing my daughter for so many years? Chang Chunfang still remembers that when her daughter was young, she said that she liked her mother the most, because her mother treated her better than her brothers. So Chang Chunfang took a deep breath, "Shu Shu, they are my nephews after all, please help them with this matter, you just arrange jobs for my two nephews, and you can arrange jobs for my two nephews and son-in-laws." Never mind." "How can I do that? Now that we have arranged it, let''s arrange it together." Lan Shu suddenly took Chang Chunfang''s words and said proactively. Seeing the young girl''s appearance, Lan Dazhuang already knew that the young girl was really angry now! When the work is arranged, the mother will lose her daughter, the little sister! "Mom, think carefully about whether it''s worth it!" Lan Dazhuang yelled at Chang Chunfang. But Chang Chunfang finally saw her daughter Songkou, and her daughter was willing to arrange two more jobs, so she was so happy that she was a little dizzy for a while. "Of course it''s good to arrange together! The work of my two nieces and son-in-law doesn''t need to be arranged too well, just so-so." Chang Chunfang also has partiality towards relatives of her mother''s family in her heart. The nephew is the priority. Lan Shu nodded when she heard what Chang Chunfang said. "Then mom, go back and ask them, do you want to work in Kyoto, or go to Shenzhen, enter a factory, or do business, go to a garment factory, or a real estate company?" As for the other departments of the group, Lan Shu didn''t think about just stuffing people in. My daughter gave so many choices at once, which made Chang Chunfang very happy. She felt that after the completion of this matter, the nephews and nieces would definitely appreciate the kindness she had done to them, and she would be able to do business with her father. So Chang Chunfang immediately nodded and responded, "Okay, I will contact them tomorrow and ask where they want to go." Seeing his mother so happy, Lan Dazhuang''s eyes were full of complexity. He turned his head and glanced at his little sister. At this moment, the little sister''s eyes towards his mother no longer had the gentleness between relatives, but only eyes as if looking at a stranger. Lan Dazhuang: ¡­ At this moment, he knew that his mother would regret it one day, but it was too late, this was his own choice. (end of this chapter) Chapter 507: give a chance Chapter 507 Give a chance Chang Mao was anxious to find a good job for his sons, so before Chang Chunfang asked for advice the next day, he called home that night and told his third sister Chang Chunfang the result of the inquiry. The next day, Chang Chunfang gave her daughter a definite answer. "Brothers Chang Zheng and Chang Gui, as well as my two nieces and sons-in-law, all said that they want to go to work in Shencheng, so that they can also have a support." "My nephew Chang Zheng had experience working in a factory before, so he wanted to work in a garment factory. Chang Gui said he wanted to work in a real estate company as a salesperson." "As for my two nieces and son-in-law, they can do whatever they want, as long as the salary is not too low." As Chang Chunfang spoke, Lan Shu wrote down all these requirements one by one. Then she gave Chang Gui a business card, "When you arrive in Shencheng, contact this person, and he will arrange work for you." On the business card given by Lan Shu, the name of Dong Ce, the person in charge of the group in Shencheng, was written on it. Dong Ce is just thirty years old and is a very capable professional manager. Lan Shu was able to discover this person at the beginning, thanks to Yu Yuan''s introduction. This is a high-achieving student with a Ph.D. in economics. He has worked abroad before. Based on Yu Yuan''s earliest social connections, he naturally had no chance to know people like Dong Ce, but later when Yu Yuan became the deputy general manager of the group, his status increased, and the social level of the people he came into contact with naturally improved accordingly. When Dong Ce first met Yu Yuan, he never thought about being poached by Yu Yuan. After learning that Yu Yuan was the vice president of Langu Group, he became interested in the "olive branch" Yuan threw at him. In the past few years, even when Dong Ce was abroad, he would pay attention to domestic developments from time to time. He had heard of Lan Shu, but he only knew that Lan Shu was a well-known businessman in China. After returning to China and learning more about domestic business development, he realized that Lan Shu is a successful entrepreneur with outstanding business ability and patriotism. Dong Ce is very willing to work for such a person, and knowing the development status of Langu Group, Dong Ce feels that only such a large enterprise can give more room for his ability. So after he entered the Langu Group, it took him three years, from the middle level of the department at the beginning, to the position of the person in charge of Shencheng in the end. Before Lan Shu handed over the business card to Chang Gui, she had a phone call with Dong Ce. As for arranging work for several members of the Chang family, she gave Dong Ce full authority to handle it. It was just a matter of arranging work in general, and no special care was needed. Since they have entered the company and factory, they are ordinary employees. Both the factory and the company have an attendance system, and they will be paid as much as they can do in their work. Dong Ce readily agreed to the boss''s explanation. ¡­ A few days later, Dong Ce received a call from the Chang family who contacted him with a business card. Chang Zheng entered a garment factory and worked as a transporter for the import and export of fabrics and ready-made garments. Chang Gui went to work as a salesman in a real estate company. The basic salary was only 200 yuan. The rest of the monthly salary depends on ability. The two sons-in-laws of the Chang family also have jobs in a garment factory and a real estate company respectively. One does import and export transportation like Chang Zheng, and the salary is not low. There is another one with a higher degree of education, who is brought by the master to work as a construction material statistician on the construction site under the real estate company. If this job can be done well, there may even be development prospects in the future. Dong Ce didn''t care that these people came through the back door and did not come in through formal recruitment channels. He will give everyone a job opportunity. As for whether he can seize this opportunity, time will tell. ¡­ Kyoto, No. 36 Chang''an Avenue, Lan Shu''s home. Chang Chunfang lived here for two days before being taken away by Lan Dazhuang looking for a reason. Chang Chunfang then moved into her eldest son''s house and had a few days to get along with her outstanding grandson. It didn''t take long for such an opportunity. After Lan Dazhuang saw his mother moved into the house, although his daughter-in-law didn''t say anything, she was emotionally silent. Tang Chu goes to work early every day and comes back late at night. He just doesn''t want to stay at home. Fortunately, the son is not young enough to take care of himself, and since Chang Chunfang and Lan Dazhuang are the fathers of the children, Tang Chu is also relieved to go out. Lan Dazhuang could see that although many years had passed, the daughter-in-law still couldn''t care less about the past. It happened that his son started school soon, and Lan Dazhuang was going back to the village, so when he left, he brought his mother back to Linjiang City. Chang Chunfang also said a few days ago that she would see her wife again in a few days, but she lost that chance. It wasn''t until the time of leaving that Chang Chunfang realized that the relationship between herself and her daughter seemed to be different from before? Before, every time she came to Kyoto, Shushu sent a car to take her back when she left, and bought her a lot of supplements for her to take home. But this time, let alone a special car to send her off and a gift, she didn''t even see her daughter''s face! Sitting on the train to Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang came to her senses. She said to her eldest son, "Da Zhuang, do you think Shu Shu will stop recognizing me as a mother in the future?" It was Lan Dazhuang who gave Chang Chunfang an angry glance at his mother. "My little sister made it very clear at the time that it was you who insisted on arranging work for your natal relatives. In the future, even if my little sister really doesn''t recognize you and ignore you, it''s not surprising." Regarding this matter, Lan Dazhuang saw it quite thoroughly. Chang Chunfang panicked when she heard it, "No way! Da Zhuang, don''t scare Mom, Shu Shu is the one I grew up with, how could she not recognize me?" "She''s just been a little angry these few days, and she will be fine after a while when the anger subsides." Chang Chunfang said. Lan Dazhuang didn''t say anything more, he kept silent about his **** good feeling about himself. Lan Dazhuang just has a clue in his mind about what the mother-daughter relationship between his mother and younger sister will look like in the future, but he can''t be sure. Next, let¡¯s take a step and take a look. After sitting on the train overnight, Lan Dazhuang sent his mother back to his home in Linjiang City early the next morning. After that, he didn''t stay in the city, and went directly to the bus station to buy a ticket back to Qingyang County. ¡­ Two days later, Xiaobai came back from a business trip and brought his daughter and son back from their parents'' house. There are two children, one in the third grade of junior high school and one in the first class of kindergarten. School will start soon. Xiaobai also saw from his daughter-in-law''s face that night that she was in a bad mood. After asking, she found out that her adoptive mother asked her to arrange work for her natal relatives who had no relationship with her. Xiaobai knows that her daughter-in-law has always been very principled in doing things. This kind of behavior of breaking the principle and going through the back door must be her last resort. Xiaobai had always regarded Aunt Chunfang as an elder and a good mother, but after hearing what his wife said about it, he also felt that Aunt Chunfang was a little confused about some things. (end of this chapter) Chapter 508: house for granddaughter Chapter 508 House for granddaughter Xiaobai comforted his daughter-in-law and tried her best to make her happy. Then he thought for a while, put his arms around his wife and said, "Why don''t we go out to play tomorrow? Last October, you were busy and couldn''t go out with me..." As Xiaobai said, Lan Shu actually saw a trace of pity under his mature and stable appearance. She thought of last October, she had already planned to go on vacation with Xiaobai and her children and family of four, but she was temporarily called by her adoptive mother¡ª In those few days, she was by her adoptive mother''s side, trying her best to please her to help her adoptive mother deal with her family relationship with her second brother''s family. But in the end, the adoptive mother didn''t think about her own good at all. Just after the new year, she brought her relatives to the door and used her identity to force herself to break the bottom line. Fortunately, after this incident, she won''t have to accommodate everything in the future. She has made it very clear that arranging jobs for the relatives of the adoptive mother''s family consumes the family relationship between their mother and daughter. After this incident, she probably won''t go to Linjiang City for a long time. The situation was just as Lan Shu thought, this year, she didn''t meet her adoptive mother again. ¡­ In 1997, the economy grew rapidly. In 1998, people''s wages increased absolutely astonishingly! The wages of some workers in big cities have mostly exceeded 800, and the average salary of some more professional jobs is above 1,000. Economic development, as wages get higher and higher, money also depreciates. Pork that used to cost a few cents a catty has now risen to a few dollars. However, the price of clothes that used to be in the tens or twenties has not increased much now. In the past few years, Lan Xinya still sells clothes in front rooms on the street near Huamei Shopping Mall. She has also made some money over the years. From the previous one front room, it has been expanded to two. The store has a lot of clothes in stock, all of which are her capital! After the level of economic development has improved and people''s wages have risen, her business has become much easier than before. The purchases and shipments in the store increased, and her monthly profit doubled to three times later. But even so, her average monthly profit of 1,450 is really not much. There are shop assistants in her store, and the monthly salary of the shop assistant is 550 yuan, which is far lower than the average salary of workers in Kyoto, but fortunately, there are still people willing to do this job. So excluding the wages paid to the shop assistants, Lan Xinya''s actual monthly income is less than 1,000 yuan. This amount of money is only enough to maintain her daily expenses, and if she saves a few hundred dollars, the money left in her hands throughout the year is only a few thousand dollars. Thousands today are not the same as they used to be. Since Lan Xinya sold the house, she has always wanted to buy the house back again. But with this one wish, she has opened a store for several years, but the money in her hand is farther and farther away from buying a house¡ª Looking at the house price rising year after year, Lan Xinya regretted it all! At the beginning, she shouldn''t have believed other people''s words, and sold the house to raise money for investment. Otherwise, the appreciation of the house will exceed the interest of the original investment! But it''s too late to regret now. When Lan Xinya was anxious about buying a house. In the old house of the Lan family, the old man Lan, who was paralyzed in bed, had a relapse and was admitted to the hospital again! Old man Lan is already over eighty years old. This time he went to the hospital, the chance of him surviving is quite small. Lan Shengli, as a son, stands in front of his father every day. He probably also had a premonition that the old man might not be able to hold on this time, so he spread the news¡ª The next day, both Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo came to the hospital. Lan Xiuming asked for leave and was delayed for a while, but he was still on his way, probably arriving tomorrow. Before Lan Xiuming set off, he thought that the old man Lan was their grandfather after all. Although they rarely met and were not close, at the end of the old man''s life, they would at least see him off. So he also told his mother the news. ¡­ In Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang was lying when she learned that the old man was dying, and said she wasn''t surprised. As the daughter-in-law, she should really show her face at the end. Plus it was her son who called her again this time, so she followed him to Kyoto. It''s a pity that even though the two went, they didn''t see the old man Lan for the last time! From the onset of the disease to the hospital admission, the old blue man became listless in only three days, and his waking hours became less and less. By the time Lan Xiuming and Chang Chunfang arrived at the hospital, Old Man Lan''s brain waves had already formed a straight line. And before he was pronounced dead by doctors, in the last waking moments of his life. The blue old man had a brief flashback. Under the witness of the doctor, he slurred his speech and confessed his last words with difficulty¡ª He said, "My house will be left to my granddaughter in the future." Old man Lan''s words were a bit biased, but neither Lan Dazhuang nor Lan Sibo had any objections. Not to mention the old man Lan, even if they have something good, they want to give it to the younger sister! So Lan Shengli also nodded in agreement with his father. Originally, Lan Shu was going to give Lan Shu the old house of the Lan family, but it was already a firm decision. But for some reason, on the day of Old Man Lan''s burial, Lan Xinya, whom the Lan family hadn''t seen for many years, suddenly appeared at the funeral! "I heard that my grandpa is going to give me the house, so I came here specially to see him off today." Lan Xinya said, kneeling on the spot in front of the grave of the old man Lan whom she had never met, crying loudly funeral This cry is miserable, and outsiders really look like a filial granddaughter! This scene made Lan Shengli, who was also in front of the grave, and the three brothers of the Lan family dumbfounded! Lan Xinya just said that grandpa would give her the house? How embarrassed is Lan Xinya? ! Also, how did she know that grandpa was buried today? After a moment of doubt, the father and son cast their eyes on Chang Chunfang! "Mom, you told Lan Xinya that today is the day of grandpa''s burial?" Lan Xiuming asked. "Grandpa is going to give the house to his granddaughter, isn''t it you who said that?" The expression on Lan Sibo''s face was indescribable. If his guesses are all true, then Lan Sibo really doesn''t know what his mother is thinking! Across the way, after Chang Chunfang came to the capital this time, she did contact Lan Xinya again. Because of this year, she finally discovered Shushu''s estrangement from her. She was suffering in her heart and could not tell. In addition, Chang Chunfang thought that Xinya was the old man''s granddaughter after all, so she just confessed such a big thing as her death. As for the fact that the old man wanted to give the house to his granddaughter, of course Chang Chunfang would not say anything. But after Lan Xinya learned that the Lan family, who seemed to be from the countryside, actually had a house in Kyoto, her first thought was of course that as the biological daughter of the Lan family, she would definitely be able to share a share of the property in the future! As a result, when she was investigating the real estate situation, she accidentally learned that the grandfather she had never met said that she would give the house to his granddaughter. Aren''t you his own granddaughter? ! Even though Lan Xinya knew that the "granddaughter" in the old man''s mouth should be Lan Shu, she felt that she needed this house more than Lan Shu! So Lan Xinya came prepared today, and she will never give up until she gets this house! (end of this chapter) Chapter 509: Ownership Chapter 509 Ownership Lan Xinya cried loudly in front of the grave, and revealed her identity as the granddaughter of the old man Lan, causing all the outsiders who didn''t know much about the situation to look at her carefully. Old man Lan was sent back to Kyoto from a southern city by well-meaning people at the beginning, so his situation is regularly checked by local volunteers from Kyoto. After learning that Old Man Lan had passed away, volunteers also came to see him off. So not only the Lan family members are standing around today, but also many volunteers who helped the old man find his family after sending the old man back. Old man Lan said that he would leave the inheritance to his granddaughter, and some of them heard about it in advance. Some people even feel admiration for Old Man Lan''s behavior of not favoring boys over girls. At least if they were the elders of their family, even they themselves would not be able to equalize the situation between their children. Seeing the granddaughter of the old man at this time, many people were slightly disappointed. Although people are not all visual animals, the appearance of the granddaughter of the fat head and big ears of the old man is almost interesting. Lan Xinya''s cries, and the fact that she said that she would inherit Grandpa''s house just now, made everyone in the Lan family very dissatisfied. But it was the old man''s funeral now, and the Lan family didn''t want to make the scene too ugly, so they didn''t say anything, and continued to complete the funeral process. Lan Shu didn''t show up today, because her group happened to have an important meeting that was scheduled a week ago. Plus she is not the granddaughter of old man Lan, so it doesn''t matter if she comes or not. When the Lan family finished the funeral and went back to the old house, Lan Xinya followed. After arriving, Lan Xinya even went to the house to search for property rights information, planning to transfer the house to her own name tomorrow at the latest. Lan Xinya''s actions were of course blocked. Lan Shengli, as the elder with the most say in the family, said to Lan Xinya unceremoniously, "Xinya, your grandfather left this house for Shushu." "But grandpa said that the house is reserved for his granddaughter, and he is my own granddaughter." Lan Xinya was well prepared. She even mentioned that old man Lan''s last words were carried out under the witness of a doctor when she heard some volunteers chatting during the funeral. So she has a witness! "It''s true that you are a granddaughter, but your grandfather never knew you, and he didn''t know you. He believed that the granddaughter brought him rice, noodles, meat and vegetables after he returned home, and helped her repair the house. granddaughter." Lan Shengli has been taking care of his father, of course he knows what his father thinks. Lan Xinya didn''t think so. "But I heard that the old man''s last words were only about his granddaughter, and he didn''t mention any granddaughter." She took advantage of this loophole to be sure of inheriting the house. When Lan Shengli heard what Lan Xinya said, he immediately frowned, "Anyway, this house belongs to Shushu, so I can''t give it to you." When Lan Xinya saw her father say this, she was not polite. "At the grandpa''s funeral, I was the only one who came as the granddaughter. Lan Shu wanted a house, but she didn''t even give the old man the last ride. No one would think that she was qualified to inherit the property if this kind of thing was told. !" Outside the gate of the old house of the Lan family, Lan Shu rushed over after the meeting, and what she heard was Lan Xinya''s voice from the yard. She was surprised that Lan Xinya would be present today. I was also surprised that the old man Lan''s dying words turned out to be to give the house to his unrelated granddaughter. Lan Shu just found out about this today. She is not short of this house, nor does she care how much the house is worth. But she would not let this house fall into the hands of Lan Xinya. Not only because Lan Xinya is not qualified, but also Lan Xinya''s ugly ''eating appearance'' makes her feel sick! Thinking of this, she walked into the courtyard of the old house and appeared in front of the Lan family. She didn''t go to see Lan Xinya, but directly talked to her adoptive father. "Dad, you know that I am not short of money, so this house..." "Give it to me!" Lan Xinya laughed immediately, and she was even surprised in her heart when Lan Shu became so kind? But in the next second, Lan Xinya heard Lan Shu say¡ª "I plan to use this house for public welfare, free of charge for volunteers, whether as an office or as a homeless relief station." As Lan Shu spoke, she still did not forget to ask her adoptive father for advice, "Dad, do you agree?" Even if the old man Lan has given this house to her, it is the old house of the Lan family after all. Before making a decision, Lan Shu still needs to ask her adoptive father for his opinion. Lan Shengli left this home when he was young, and he didn''t have much nostalgia for this place, and it was indeed given to Shushu by his father, so Lan Shengli nodded and said to Lanshu, "You decide." After a question and an answer, the father and daughter decided on the ownership of this house, and Lan Xinya had no part in it. This annoyed Lan Xinya who was waiting for the house to fall into her hands. She had the feeling that Lanshu had played tricks on her. Lan Shu''s words just now clearly gave her hope, but in the blink of an eye, they completely disappointed her! But no matter how good Lan Shengli and Lan Shu''s discussion was, she only accepted old man Lan''s last words that he would give the house to his granddaughter! "You can''t make decisions about this house! There is a last word, and this is mine!" Listening to Lan Xinya''s argument, Lan Shu looked in Lan Xinya''s direction. "Even if it''s the last words, the person mentioned in the last words is not you." Lan Shu said, she knew that Lan Xinya would not stop there, and she didn''t want to see Lan Xinya continue to mess around. So she continued, "I will hire a professional lawyer to deal with the fact finding of the will. If you feel that you have objections, you can also ask a lawyer to negotiate with my lawyer." Lan Shu will not spend time arguing with Lan Xinya about the ownership of the house, but she can entrust someone to do it. If Lan Xinya is willing to pay for a lawyer, she will accompany her at any time. Lan Xinya would not give up this house at that time, you know, she has been in Kyoto for so many years, and she still doesn''t even have a house of her own. So she will definitely fight to the end for this house! She said to Lan Shu, "Then just wait and see!" Anyway, she decided that the old man Lan was only her granddaughter. Even if this fact was broken, it could not be changed. Lan Shu nodded calmly and replied, "I''ll wait." Then, the negotiation between Lan Xinya and Lan Shu began with the ownership of an old house¡ª Looking for a lawyer and going to court, the Lan family all stood by Lan Shu''s side, and they all testified for Lan Shu, showing that the old man Lan didn''t know Lan Xinya, his own granddaughter, at all. It took half a year for the lawsuit to go through various procedures, and the final verdict was not surprising. In the end, the ownership of the house fell on Lan Shu. In the past six months, besides hiring a lawyer to spend money and focusing on the lawsuit, Lan Xinya wasted her mind and time, and did not do a good job in business, but in the end she got nothing. This made her even angrier! (end of this chapter) Chapter 510: self-abasement Chapter 510 Inferiority Lan Shu doesn''t care if Lan Xinya is angry or not. As soon as she got the house, she handed over the house to the charity organization that she led to set up, and used the house as a relief station for the charity organization. And promised that even if this house is demolished in the future, it will continue to build relief stations in other places according to the demolition area. With her words, not long after, no one knows who spread the word, and Lan Shu gained the title of a philanthropist again. Lan Shu didn''t care about these false names, but when Lan Xinya heard that the house she almost got finally fulfilled Lan Shu''s good name, she was so angry that her chest hurt! At first, Lan Xinya didn''t care about it, but then she started to have chest pain every now and then. In desperation, Lan Xinya had to go to the hospital for examination. After a series of inspections, Lan Xinya got a piece of news that broke her¡ª "You said I had breast cancer?" Any illness with the word cancer is quite serious. For a while, Lan Xinya couldn''t help but howled in front of the doctor! Even the doctor was frightened by this scene. Fortunately, the doctor recovered quickly and explained immediately, "Don''t worry, as long as you treat it well, breast cancer won''t kill anyone." After hearing this, Lan Xinya stopped crying. But what she has to face next is the high cost of treatment... ¡­ The time has entered August, and the school will start in one month. Sixteen-year-old Gu Qingning is now a high school student, starting her second year of high school, and her academic performance is good. After school starts, her cousin Lan Juncheng will also enter her school and become a freshman in high school. In these years, Gu Qingning and his cousin have been supervising and improving each other on the piano at the beginning, and then they are also catching up with each other in learning. Lan Juncheng''s academic performance is also good, but the piano teacher suggested that I hope he will not waste his good talent, and it is best to go to a music academy when he is in college. Lan Juncheng also has plans for this. He really likes playing the piano, so before he entered high school, he had already told Aunt Lan Shu about his thoughts. Lan Juncheng knows how important his aunt''s words are in front of his parents. If his aunt agrees to pursue music, his parents should be able to talk about it. Of course Lan Shu will support Junjun''s dream. As for the music school where Junjun University is going, she has already helped to find out in advance. Since you want to take this path, of course you should go to a school with more gold content. But there is no need to worry about these things now, Junjun is not yet old enough to go to college. In addition to Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng, another friend of the two, Meng Dabao, has been working in the factory for almost two years now. Sixteen-year-old Meng Dabao had been in poor health since he was a child and was not tall enough. In the past two years since he entered the factory, he sat next to the assembly line machines every day, doing piecework with his hands day after day. It was not easy to straighten my lower back. Meng Dabao, who was slightly hunchbacked, felt even more inferior and dared not appear in front of his two friends. So in the past two years, Meng Dabao alienated Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng. Outside of work, he seems to have returned to the autistic mentality he had when he was a child. Fortunately, Meng Dabao also has a younger sister, so that whenever he thinks about it, he feels warm in his heart. Meng Dabao''s younger sister, Meng Xiaoxiao, will be seven and a half years old this year. The little girl is smart and is already in the first grade of elementary school. What makes Meng Dabao most proud is that her younger sister managed to score 100% in the school exam! Scores like this were unattainable for Meng Dabao when he was a child. My younger sister is very close to Meng Dabao, and she doesn''t dislike him for not being smart at all. Meng Dabao is a fool, and he realized this himself after he entered the factory to work. Since then, Meng Dabao no longer has his own future in his heart, and all he thinks about is his younger sister. His only wish is to watch his sister grow up and become better and better. Maybe I am not qualified to stand beside my friends, but my sister will definitely be able to stand tall in the future, not as ordinary and humble as myself... ¡­ This summer vacation, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng first spent a week writing their vacation homework, then practiced the piano for a few days, and were invited to give a piano performance in the auditorium. After they finished their work, they rested for a few days to relax, and thought of going to see Meng Dabao. Because they usually have to go to class and Meng Dabao has to work, the two sides seldom communicate. But that doesn''t mean they''ll forget the playmates they played with when they were kids. Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng have always regarded Meng Dabao as friends, even though Meng Dabao decided not to go to school, go to work early, did not listen to their persuasion at all, and even got angry with them, but they still would not really get angry with Meng Dabao. It had been raining for the past few days, but today the rain stopped and the weather was fine, so Gu Qingning asked his cousin Lan Juncheng to go see Meng Dabao. The two did not let the family driver drive, but each rode a bicycle, and soon arrived at the gate of the factory where Meng Dabao worked. It was approaching noon, and soon it was time to get off work. Gu Qingning took out her mobile phone and made a call to Meng Dabao''s pager. In 1998, not too few people used mobile phones in big cities, and pagers were a must-have communication device for most people. The wages of workers have been higher every year, but the price of pagers has not increased much. Therefore, for a person like Meng Dabao who has been working for two years, he can afford to buy and use pagers. In the factory, Meng Dabao''s beeper hanging around his waist rang. He stopped his work, took a look, and saw a series of familiar numbers. This is Gu Qingning calling him. Qingning wants to find herself? When Meng Dabao thought of this, his first reaction was to call back. But the next second, he hesitated again. Qing Ning also contacted her several times before, asking her to go out to play, but Meng Dabao always refused her on the excuse of being busy with work and not having a vacation. Meng Dabao felt that he would feel inferior in front of his friends, so he should not contact Qingning and Junjun, right? But when Meng Dabao got off work and walked out of the factory, he still saw Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng smiling brightly at him at the factory gate. "Let me just say, Dabao must not be off work yet, that''s why he didn''t return your call." Lan Juncheng said to Cousin Qingning from the side. Gu Qingning nodded, thinking that this should be the case, and then she called out to Meng Dabao, "Dabao, let''s have lunch together~!" Friends haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time, of course we have to sit down and have a meal together. Seeing Gu Qingning, he smiled happily and said, even though Meng Dabao had decided to stay away from his friends in the future, at this moment, he still couldn''t help but nodded. "Okay, let''s eat together!" The haze in his heart was swept away, and Meng Dabao also laughed from the bottom of his heart. (end of this chapter) Chapter 511: ask for money Chapter 511 Asking for money Meng Dabao has not seen his two friends for almost half a year. Meeting this time, after agreeing to have a meal, he immediately put his hand into his pocket and touched it. He brought money today, and he wants to treat his friends to dinner! He wants to let his friends know that he really made money when he entered the factory to work. Perhaps this is the only way to calm down his low self-esteem. ¡­ After more than ten minutes, the three sat down in a small restaurant near the factory. Gu Qingning ordered two of her favorite dishes, and then handed the menu to Meng Dabao. As for her cousin Lan Juncheng, he is half a year younger and ranked third. Meng Dabao ordered a meat dish, and Lan Juncheng ordered one dish and one soup. The three of them added up to four dishes and one soup, which was enough. Among the four dishes, none is vegan, and the soup is rice wine egg drop soup. Meng Dabao calculated silently in his heart, and it is estimated that the sum of these dishes will cost fifty or sixty yuan. Although this is affordable for him, it is not too little. But because he was eating with his friends, he was willing to spend money. Meng Dabao thought so, but neither Gu Qingning nor Lan Juncheng thought about making Meng Dabao spend money. After the three of them finished their meal, Gu Qingning walked directly to the front desk of the hotel, and was about to pay the bill. Seeing this, Meng Dabao immediately walked over and took out the money in his pocket. "Qingning, I am at work, and you are still in school. I will pay the bill." Meng Dabao''s reason is definitely not polite, he is sincere. Seeing this, Gu Qingning could see that Dabao wanted to pay the bill, and she also knew that Dabao wanted to show that he was working to earn money. Gu Qingning hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and took half a step back. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to pay the bill, but that in her opinion, they didn''t spend a lot of money on this meal, and she knew that Dabao would be happy if she gave up the opportunity to pay the bill. That''s why Gu Qingning fulfilled his friend''s wish. Here, Meng Dabao took the money in his pocket and counted it in his hands. In a stack of banknotes, the largest denomination was ten yuan, and there were other five yuan, two yuan, and one yuan. The restaurant owner settled the accounts, and the four dishes and one soup cost a total of fifty-two yuan. Meng Dabao counted out the money and handed it to the boss. At this moment, at the entrance of the hotel, a figure suddenly rushed in¡ª Immediately afterwards, there was a voice of cursing! "Dabao, my Dabao! How can you just spend money on others?" As Lan Xinya said, she had already snatched the money that Meng Dabao handed over to the restaurant owner with quick eyesight and quick hands! Meng Dabao saw an obese middle-aged woman with familiar facial features in front of him, and after hearing what she said, he realized that this person turned out to be his own mother! Meng Dabao hasn''t seen his own mother for more than two years. His memory of this biological mother is very vague. Although he met his biological mother several times during his growing up, he didn''t feel very good every time he met. In the past, his own mother always told him to alienate Aunt Sun Yuan and speak ill of Aunt Sun Yuan. And now, he was about to pay the bill, but his mother took the money away, and his mother still said that he asked him to invite friends to dinner. He wanted to ask, why can''t he invite his friends to dinner? Aside, when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng saw the woman who suddenly appeared and robbed Meng Dabao''s money, Lan Juncheng was just surprised, but Gu Qingning had already recognized who she was. Although Gu Qingning didn''t meet Lan Xinya many times, she remembered this woman''s appearance. She knew that this woman was Meng Dabao''s real mother! Gu Qingning heard that the reason why Dabao is a little fool is because his mother took him to shoot paint commercials when he was very young, which made Meng Dabao poisoned and allergic to paint, and was hospitalized with a high fever, which burned his brain out. These words were not spoken to her by her family members, but she heard them chatting with other neighbors in the compound when she lived in her great-grandfather¡¯s house when she was a child. Gu Qingning is not stupid, she has a good memory~! So even though she was only four or five years old when she heard these things, she has not forgotten them until now. On the opposite side, Lan Xinya stunned her son when she saw her appearance, she immediately said, "Dabao, if you have money, you have to keep it well, and you can''t spend it on others, even if you need to spend money, you should spend it for your mother! " Lan Xinya''s words are taken for granted. "Give me back the money!" Meng Dabao didn''t think so. He was very angry and wanted to take the money back¡ª But Lan Xinya moved faster and stuffed the money into her pocket. "Dabao, you have been working for almost two years. You should be rich, right? Mom is here this time to use your money." During this time, Lan Xinya had already spent a lot of money on breast cancer treatment. The thousands of dollars she saved from doing business in the past few years have long been spent. Recently, the money she spent on medicine was all clothes sold in the store, and the money she earned was directly taken away by her. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer clothes in the store, she doesn''t even have enough money on hand for the next purchase. So in desperation, Lan Xinya came to the factory where her son worked, and wanted to see if she could see her son, so she could get some money from her son and use it first. Lan Xinya definitely didn''t want to steal her son''s money, she just wanted to save her life. If her illness can be cured, she can continue to open a shop to make money, and then give the money to her son. But Meng Dabao didn''t know this. Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Dabao was stunned. The reason why his mother didn''t let him invite friends to dinner was to let him give her the money? Meng Dabao never thought of giving his wages to others before. At home, Dad, Aunt Sun, and grandparents never asked him for a penny. His money is collected by himself, and he has absolute control over it. So when his mother asked him for money, Meng Dabao''s first reaction was to refuse! "No, I won''t give you the money!" Meng Dabao''s attitude was firm. Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng on the side heard Lan Xinya''s intention to come and Dabao''s refusal. They first looked at Lan Xinya in disbelief, and then breathed a sigh of relief for Dabao. They were really worried that Meng Dabao''s mother would take away the money he earned from his hard work! But fortunately, although the little fool is stupid, he is not completely stupid~! Lan Xinya listened to her son''s refusal, and was about to say something, but Gu Qingning didn''t give her a chance to speak. "Dabao is only sixteen years old this year. He entered the factory at the age of fourteen and worked hard to earn some money. You have hands and feet and can work. How dare you ask Dabao for money?" Gu Qingning has always been protective of Meng Dabao. She was like this when she was a child. In the kindergarten, whoever bullied a little fool, she would rush forward to protect her little friend. Perhaps it was Gu Qingning''s protective attitude that made Meng Dabao suddenly think of what happened when he was a child. Meng Dabao gradually calmed down from the panic of being asked for money by his mother. With Qingning around, he felt safe. (end of this chapter) Chapter 512: make a lot of money Chapter 512 Making a lot of money At first, Lan Xinya only saw her son having dinner with two men and women who were about his age, and when she saw her son paying the bill in the end, she didn''t want him to suffer. Now that she heard the girl''s words, she turned her eyes to the girl. Lan Xinya felt a little familiar with the young girl who looked like a little girl in front of her. She judged carefully, and suddenly thought of something! "You are Lan Shu''s daughter!?" Gu Qingning was not surprised that Meng Dabao''s own mother recognized her. Her eyes look more like her mother''s. People who know her mother can see her mother''s shadow from her as long as they look closely. Facing Meng Dabao''s mother''s question, Gu Qingning nodded and replied, "Yes." Hearing this exact answer, Lan Xinya looked at Gu Qingning with disgust! "We don''t need you, a little girl, to take care of our family''s affairs!" Although Gu Qingning wanted to protect Meng Dabao wholeheartedly, she was only in her teens after all. Facing Lan Xinya accusing her of "our family''s affairs", she was stunned, and felt that she really didn''t have the right to take care of other people''s affairs. But she doesn''t want her friend to be bullied either! So Gu Qingning still stood by Meng Dabao''s side, without any intention of retreating. Meng Dabao on the side saw his own mother scolding his friend, he immediately took half a step forward, protecting Gu Qingning behind him. "Mom, you can just take the money just now, and I won''t give you the rest." Meng Dabao said seriously. He also feels that his own mother is not too old to do work, she is not yet old enough for him to take care of her. When Lan Xinya heard her son''s words, she turned her eyes away from Lan Shu''s daughter and looked at her son. "No! Dabao, you have to take out the money for your mother, or do you want to watch your mother die?" Lan Xinya''s words made Meng Dabao think that his own mother was going to use death to force him to give money. When he was angry in his heart, he heard his mother say again¡ª¡ª "Dabao, my mother is sick and needs a lot of money to be cured, otherwise my mother will really not be able to survive. Do you have the heart to watch my mother die at such a young age?" Of course Lan Xinya knew that when facing her son, she must not be tough. Her son has not been smart since he was a child, and he has a stubborn temper, so he takes soft things instead of tough ones. Sure enough, Meng Dabao froze in place when he heard her say that! "Sick? What kind of disease? Is it serious?" Although Meng Dabao didn''t like this biological mother, she was his mother after all, the one who gave birth to him. Meng Dabao is kind-hearted, of course he doesn''t want his mother to die. So just now, he was determined not to give money, but now, his thinking has changed. If the money he saved can save his mother''s life, he...will take the money out! Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng on the side also froze in place when they heard Meng Dabao''s mother''s words. Dabao''s real mother is really sick, can''t live longer? At this moment, the two of them felt some compassion. Even because the other party is Dabao''s biological mother, if Dabao needs it, the two of them will lend their pocket money to Dabao first if they can. When Lan Xinya heard that her son still cared about her situation, she was very happy and felt that she really did not give birth to this son in vain! Even if my son is a little stupid, he still cares about people~! "My illness is quite serious, but the doctor said that it can be cured well, but it will cost a lot of money." Lan Xinya said, and asked her son for money again. "Dabao, you give the money to mom, and when mom is cured, I will return the money to you after earning money." Lan Xinya''s words made Meng Dabao feel sorry for his own mother. Without saying a word, he took out all the money in his pocket and handed it all to his mother. This is not enough, Meng Dabao said again, "Mom, just wait, go home after a while, and bring you all the money I saved." Hearing her son''s words, Lan Xinya felt relieved. But at this time, the restaurant owner couldn''t help interrupting the touching atmosphere between the mother and son. "Who will settle the bill for the fifty-two yuan you ate just now?" Hearing this, before Meng Dabao could respond, Gu Qingning had already handed over a piece of fifty yuan and a piece of ten yuan. Then the hotel owner quickly returned the change, for fear that his account would have another setback. Seeing that Gu Qingning paid for the meal first, Meng Dabao was a little embarrassed. But what is more important right now is his mother''s condition. He waved goodbye to Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng, left the restaurant, and then asked his mother to wait at the factory gate. Meng Dabao had already ridden his bicycle home to collect money. After more than half an hour, Meng Dabao took out all the wages he had saved from working in the past two years, and it was more than four thousand! After receiving the money, Lan Xinya was overjoyed. She suddenly realized that she had underestimated her son before. My son is not smart, but he makes a lot of money! Looking at it this way, she felt that she would definitely have no problem supporting herself in the future~~! Lan Xinya took the money and left satisfied. ¡­ On the other side, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng went back. Gu Qingning hesitated for a long time, but she still told her family about Dabao''s mother''s illness that night. When Lan Shu learned that Lan Xinya was ill and might die, she was still in a daze for a while. Really die? Although Lan Xinya was really annoying, Lan Shu didn''t think about letting her die. Now that Lan Xinya may be ill, Lan Shu is a little concerned. She didn''t know if Lan Xinya was really sick, or if she was using this as an excuse to ask her son for money. So the next day, she asked someone to check Lan Xinya''s recent situation for her. The people Lan Shu sent out to do the investigation were very efficient. The task they received in the morning had already found out Lan Xinya''s condition in the afternoon. "She is indeed sick, breast cancer. Fortunately, she was discovered early and the operation has been done. In the later stage, as long as she takes the medicine on time, she will not die." Listening to the voice on the phone, Lan Shu didn''t expect to be relieved. Lan Xinya is fine if she can''t die. She is the heroine of this world after all, and Lan Shu doesn''t know what will happen after the heroine dies. So Lan Xinya is better off alive. In order to keep her alive, if Lan Xinya has no money for medical treatment, Lan Shu might spend some money. But now that Meng Dabao has given it, she doesn''t have to worry about Lan Xinya''s treatment. According to the investigators, Lan Xinya had enough money for medical treatment. Even the money she asked for from Meng Dabao was superfluous. Perhaps she just took her son''s money as her own because she felt that she had less money and felt insecure. (end of this chapter) Chapter 513: Unscrupulous Chapter 513 Unscrupulous The fact that Meng Dabao gave Lan Xinya his two-year salary savings was known to the Meng family a few days later. The person who discovered this was Meng Xiaoxiao, the young granddaughter of the Meng family. Usually, my brother would buy her snacks every now and then, but in the past week or so, Meng Xiaoxiao hasn''t had any candy. Meng Xiaoxiao was very strange, so he asked his brother why he didn''t buy candy? Meng Dabao didn''t think too much about it, and told his sister about his mother''s illness, saying that he had given all his money to his mother, and that he was buying candy for his sister when his salary was paid next month. Meng Xiaoxiao knew that she and her brother were not born to the same mother. Although she had never met her brother''s own mother, because her mother was very good, Meng Xiaoxiao felt that her brother''s mother must also be very good. My brother''s mother is sick, so my brother must be very sad. Brother''s mother needed money to see a doctor, so Meng Xiaoxiao asked her mother if she could give her brother some money to help her get better. At this time, the Meng family learned that Lan Xinya was ill, and Dabao gave Lan Xinya all the money he had saved. Meng Dabao didn''t keep a penny for himself. He ate at home in the morning and evening. He had no money at noon and could only starve. Meng Heng was very angry when he learned this! Originally, his son''s health was not good, these days he had two meals a day, and Meng Heng obviously found that his son''s face was a little pale. Now finally found the reason! "Even if you want to kiss your mother for you, you can''t give yourself no room at all. Even if you give all the money, you should tell your family about it, instead of making fun of your body and starving yourself every day!" As Meng Heng said, he immediately took fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to his son. Eating outside the factory at noon, a large bowl of rice noodles costs 3 yuan, and the 50 yuan will last until my son¡¯s next salary. It was the first time Meng Dabao was reprimanded by his father when he grew up so big. He was very wronged, but he also knew that his father was doing it for his own good. He listened to his father and took the money. Afterwards, Meng Heng went to the hospital to ask the doctor about Lan Xinya''s physical condition. He and Lan Shu had the same reaction when they first got the news. They would subconsciously suspect that Lan Xinya was really sick, or was she asking for money for her child? Finally, when Meng Heng learned of the result, Lan Xinya was really sick! It''s just that Lan Xinya has been ill for some time. She has already undergone an operation, and she continues to take medicine at this stage, so it doesn''t cost much at all. So Meng Heng has reason to suspect that Lan Xinya came to ask Dabao for money. Apart from her illness, she actually wanted to get money from her son. After returning from the hospital, when his son got off work at night, Meng Heng did not forget to tell his son¡ª "Your mother''s illness is already recovering, so she doesn''t need that much money. If she comes to you to ask for money, don''t give it all away." Meng Dabao firmly believed in his father''s words. He was relieved to learn that his mother''s condition was recovering. But his father told him not to give any more money next time, Meng Dabao responded with silence. He couldn''t bring himself to promise his father that he would not care about his mother in the future. What exactly to do, only when he faced that moment, would he know. ¡­ Lan Xinya, with more than 4,000 yuan from her son, she doesn''t have to worry about taking medicine, and the store also has money to buy goods. Lan Xinya''s clothing store business is booming again, with stable profits every month. After saving some money in her hand, she can actually return some of it to her son as she promised to her son. But Lan Xinya didn''t do that. Lan Xinya suddenly felt that it would be safer to hold her son''s money in her own hands. She helped her son save the money so that the money his son earned would not be spent by the Meng family. After having this idea, Lan Xinya''s desire to control her son suddenly came up! Soon after, Meng Dabao saw his own mother at the gate of the factory after getting off work at noon one day. After more than two months of taking medicine to recover, Lan Xinya''s complexion is much better than before. After all, it was a serious illness, and she lost some weight. Before breaking through the weight of more than 180 catties, now she has lost more than 10 catties, maintaining at about 170 catties. Although she only lost more than ten catties, she has lost weight, which can still be seen. Seeing his own mother, the simple and kind Meng Dabao''s first reaction was to care about his mother''s condition. "Mom, are you cured?" "It''s better than before, but I''m still taking medicine." Lan Xinya is indeed taking medicine. According to the doctor, she will take several more courses of treatment, about four to five months. It''s just that these medicines don''t cost much anymore, and she can afford them. But about this point, Lan Xinya didn''t tell her son that she still asked for money when she came this time¡ª "Dabao, mom needs money to take medicine, how much money can you give?" Upon hearing this, Meng Dabao thought for a while that the wages he had paid for the past two months had not changed much, and he immediately replied, "Mom, wait for me here, and I will go back and get you the money!" More than half an hour later, Meng Dabao once again hid it from his family and gave almost all of the money he had saved to his own mother. Lan Xinya counted the money she got, and it was 1,100 yuan in total. She nodded in satisfaction, planning to collect money according to this standard in the future~! After Lan Xinya took the money and left, Meng Dabao couldn''t help touching his pocket. In order not to let his father worry about his health, he only kept a little money for his lunch every day. The money is not much, just over a hundred yuan, which will last until he gets paid next month. Meng Dabao doesn''t know when his mother''s illness will be cured, but if his mother needs money to see a doctor, he will continue to give it. He understands his father''s worry about him, but he feels that as a son, he can''t just ignore his mother. The little fool didn''t know, but his kindness caused Lan Xinya to ask him for money even more! ¡­ At the end of September, it has been almost a month since Gu Qingning started school. She is a sophomore in high school this year, and she is much more nervous about studying than before. At the end of the month exam, her grades were still in the top three in the class, which made Lan Shu feel at ease about her daughter''s study. In addition to Gu Qingning, Lan Juncheng also entered high school, in the first-year high school training class. Lan Juncheng inherited the height and figure of his father, Lan Dazhuang. Although he is only sixteen years old, his height has already grown to over 1.78 meters. This is in an era where most children don''t pay attention to nutrition and diet at all when they are growing up, so that their height is generally low, Lan Juncheng is definitely the tallest boy in the class! Lan Juncheng has an average appearance and a tall stature. Even if he is a freshman in high school, it is enough for many girls in the school to pay attention to him. Girls are generally enlightened earlier than boys. In addition to going to school, boys of this age are still thinking about football, basketball, and playing games. Girls have already begun to understand the meaning of "like". So Lan Juncheng has already received three love letters within a month of entering high school. (end of this chapter) Chapter 514: the island Chapter 514 Sea Island These love letters were written by girls in the same grade to Lan Juncheng, and also by girls in the second grade. As for the girls in the third year of high school, everyone''s studies are already heavy, and they don''t have much energy to think about what they have and what they don''t. Lan Juncheng had never received a love letter before, but now that he did, he also blushed. He didn''t think about falling in love in the past, but he said that he didn''t have troubles in his heart when he said that he was lying about the girls'' affection for him. Gu Qingning goes to and from school with her cousin every day, and the slight changes of cousin Juncheng cannot be hidden from her eyes. And she also heard about a girl writing a love letter to her cousin at school. One of the girls is still a classmate in their class, and her academic performance is below average in their class, and she doesn''t pay much attention to her studies. Gu Qingning is a girl, of course she knows what girls are thinking. But she also knows that the result of falling in love at their age will definitely affect their studies. So after school that day, after Gu Qingning met up with his cousin, and the two rode their bicycles home, Gu Qingning brought up the matter of the girl sending the love letter. "Junjun, what do you think?" She and her cousin are the same age, and they have a very good relationship with each other, so they can talk about everything at ordinary times. When Lan Juncheng heard the question from his cousin, he immediately replied, "I haven''t made up my mind yet..." Gu Qingning raised her eyebrows, "Have you thought about it? Are you planning to fall in love with a girl at this age?" "Let''s not talk about falling in love. You will definitely devote all your energy to study and distribute it to your girlfriend, which will delay your study. Let''s say that after graduating from high school, you will go to the Conservatory of Music to study, and you will definitely be separated from the other party. If we meet, can the relationship remain the same?" Gu Qingning saw this very clearly. Hearing what his cousin said, Lan Juncheng fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Then I... just reject them." If there were no words from his cousin, Lan Juncheng might really indulge in the youthful love of teenagers and girls in a short time. But now, he has seriously thought about his studies and future piano studies, and Lan Juncheng feels that he wants to focus more on these things. So he spent a week writing replies to the three girls who sent him love letters, in which he made it clear that he just wanted to study hard now. Lan Juncheng''s refusal to reply to the letter is of course much better than ignoring them in the eyes of girls! This made the girls who had a crush on him, like him even more. But Lan Juncheng put all his mind back on studying and practicing the piano, as he said. He feels that at his age, he should focus on studying and make himself better. He saw that Cousin Qingning did just that. He believes that his cousin made the right choice, and he only needs to follow her example to become better and better like her cousin. ¡­ At the beginning of October, it¡¯s time for the holidays again. This year''s holiday, Lan Shu has already arranged the affairs of the group, to make time for herself, and to go out with her family for a good vacation no matter what. Xiaobai has already made a travel plan. This time, the family of four will go on a self-driving trip to the beach, and they plan to play for three or four days before returning. After all these years, Lan Shu finally took the time to take the driver''s license test. Although she doesn''t usually drive very much, she can still drive on the road. In addition, there are not many vehicles on the road now, so she can just practice driving under the guidance of Xiao Bai when she goes out this time. He and Xiaobai can also switch driving, and each other has time to rest. Driving from Kyoto to Nanhai, the drive was relatively slow along the way because there was still time for Lan Shu to practice the car, so the four of them set off in the morning, and they didn''t arrive at their destination until eight or nine in the evening. Find the hotel and check in. A family of four lived in a two-bedroom suite. Lan Shu and her daughter Gu Qingning slept in one room, while Xiao Bai and her son Gu Zerui lived in another room. After they checked in, another group of people came to the hotel, and several of them were big stars who were quite familiar to the audience on TV! Li Xiaoyu is now the "first sister" among the contracted artists of the film and television company under Langu Group. This time, her announcement is to participate in a variety show about survival on the island. The six stars need to stay on a nearby uninhabited island for three days and two nights. The program team will provide them with drinking water for one day and a small amount of supplies for living on the island. The rest of the food will be on the island by themselves. Rely on the sea to eat the sea. This variety show was definitely innovative in 1998! Most of the variety shows in the past few years were talent shows. From singing and dancing at the beginning, to boy groups and girl groups, talent shows have been very successful. The director of variety shows gradually became dissatisfied with the previous variety show routines, and thought of survival in the wild. Today the program team and the stars are staying at the hotel, and the recording will start tomorrow morning. Lan Shu didn''t know in advance that the program of the film and television department under her group would come to the beach today, so she happened to be staying in the same hotel as them. Early the next morning, Lan Shu''s family of four got up to wash up and went downstairs to eat. In the restaurant downstairs of the hotel, they met Li Xiaoyu and his party. Li Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to see her boss! Although she is already one of the signed artists of the film and television department, the number of times she usually sees her big boss is only a handful. Li Xiaoyu''s gratitude to her boss has grown deeper and deeper with the passage of time. She knew very well that if she hadn''t met her boss at the beginning, she wouldn''t be as successful as she is today. So Li Xiaoyu immediately stepped forward and greeted the boss. "Boss, are you here to inspect the filming of the show?" Lan Shu saw Li Xiaoyu and heard Li Xiaoyu''s words. At this time, she realized that there is indeed a variety show about survival on the island that is about to start recording. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet up with their family of four on vacation~! Lan Shu was about to reply, ¡®I¡¯m not here for inspection. '' She suddenly found that next to her, her daughter looked at Li Xiaoyu with sparkling eyes, and even Gu Zerui, who was seven or eight years old, was also curious. So Lan Shu nodded, "Take your family out to play, and take a look around." Since she is on vacation, of course Lan Shu will consider the feelings of her daughter and son. They are interested in the filming of the program that Li Xiaoyu mentioned, so it is good to take them to see it. After dinner, Lan Shu''s family followed the program group directly, took a small yacht rented by the program group long ago, and went to an uninhabited island a few kilometers away from the beach with a local. The stars who came to participate in the program recording this time, besides Li Xiaoyu, there are five other people. Among two women and three men, there is a male star in his thirties who is no stranger to Lan Shu. ¡ªJi Tianze, a well-known actor in Hong Kong City. Lan Shu remembered that he and Li Xiaoyu had a good relationship, as if they were in a relationship. The remaining four people, one male, two females and three young people, are members of the men''s and women''s groups who made their debut in variety shows last year. The last male star, who is in his forties and older, had the experience of living in the wild when he was young, so he was invited by the program team to come on the show together. (end of this chapter) Chapter 515: alternative holiday Chapter 515 Alternative Holidays On the uninhabited island, the videographer of the program team is ready, and the next step is to shoot. But before filming, the director of this variety show took the initiative to mention, "Mr. Lan, if you two young masters and young ladies want to participate in the desert island survival show, you are welcome to join at any time." Lan Shu never thought about letting her daughter and son appear on TV. But seeing the eyes of Qing Ning and Rui Rui shining after hearing the director''s words, she really couldn''t bear to let the children down. Xiao Bai on the side looked at his daughter, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Xiao Qingning wants to participate, so go and have fun. As for Rarity, you are too young." Hearing her father''s words, Gu Qingning was very happy, but when she learned that her brother was not approved by her father to join the island survival program, she felt a little sympathetic to her brother. Besides, Gu Qingning did not forget to remind her father, "Dad, I have grown up now, so you can no longer call me Xiao Qingning." But the daughter''s protest was ineffective. In the eyes of their parents, no matter how big they grow up, the child is still a child in their eyes. Lan Shu listened to Xiao Bai''s decision, and then saw her son''s face about to cry. She really couldn''t bear it. Seeing Rarity standing in front of her with her head down and pitiful, Lan Shu hesitated for a moment, then decided¡ª "If Rarity wants to go, then go. You are almost eight years old, and you are an older child. Mom believes that even if you encounter difficulties, you can bravely overcome them." Lan Shu said this not because she spoiled and condoned the child''s behavior, but because she wanted to take this opportunity to train her son. This kind of island survival activity is very exercising. So, Gu Qingning, who was about to be seventeen years old, and Rarity, who was about to be eight years old, participated in the island survival variety show together. The number of guests participating in the variety show has also increased from the original six to the current eight. The filming of the show started. As the parents of the children, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai also served as the upper-level inspection leaders of the production team, observing the guests from the sidelines in the director''s team. The eight people introduced themselves under the camera, and then began to divide their labor. Some people went to collect hay and dry branches on the island to make firewood, some tried to find fresh water, and some picked seafood at the beach. Gu Zerui was very interested in picking up seafood, so he and his sister carried a small bucket together and started to ''catch the sea''. The other six celebrity guests didn¡¯t even think about what to ask the two boss¡¯s children to do, so the six were divided into three groups, collecting firewood, looking for water, and looking for food. The four groups of people got busy, and Lan Shu had no time to watch the activities of the other three groups of guests. She and Xiao Bai had been following her child, silently guarding them. Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui were lucky. They dug up a lot of shells, conch, and razor clams in the sand, and found crabs, lobsters, and sea urchins under the rocks. The reason why the two of them were able to find so much seafood was thanks to Gu Qingning''s experience. She has been to the beach twice with her parents before, and learned with the locals how to find conch and razor clams hidden under the sand, and where to find sea urchins and crabs. Gu Zerui is a little younger, and he was inexperienced at first, but after his sister demonstrated and taught, Rarity was able to find conch shells and pick up sea urchins very quickly. As for the crabs, he is a little younger, and Gu Qingning is worried about his younger brother catching them, so any crabs and lobsters are brought by her. The two picked up while walking, and the small bucket was filled up in a short while. The bucket of seafood exploded, so the two had no choice but to go back and clear the things out. Before noon, they planned to pick up another bucket for their parents to eat. At noon, the eight people who participated in the survival on the island met at the meeting point. Li Xiaoyu and Ji Tianze were in a group. They gathered a lot of dry firewood and came back, and they had already started a fire. In addition to lighting a fire, the two also relied on the pot provided by the program team and the fresh water from the first day to process the seafood that Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui had picked up, and cook them in the pot. Jiang Xian, a 40-year-old male star who has outdoor experience and is responsible for finding water sources, and Ke Zhou, a young boy who was born in a talent show, picked some coconuts on the island. There is coconut water and coconut meat in them. Solved the problem of everyone needing water for the next few days. As for the two draft girl group members who came back last, they were responsible for picking up seafood on the beach. But because the two had no experience in picking seafood, they walked a long way along the coastline of the island and didn''t see much. I also ran into two crabs moving on the beach, almost equivalent to the crabs delivered to the door. As a result, everyone found that without the sons and daughters of their boss, they might not even have food at noon! Before, they underestimated the pair of siblings, thinking that the two were born there, and they must have lived a pampered life on weekdays, with no life experience at all. But now, the facts are in front of our eyes. There are two people in Survival Island this time. Their three days and two nights should not be too difficult. Lanshu and Xiaobai stood between the program staff, watching their daughter and son''s performance, both of them were pleased. Not long after, the eight guests ate a sumptuous seafood feast, and Lan Shu and Xiao Bai also ate another bucket of seafood that their sons and daughters picked up for them. ¡­ The island survival variety show continued to be recorded, and eight people started to build a place to rest at night in the afternoon. Gu Qingning used the physics knowledge he had learned to lead everyone to build a sturdy shed. Although Gu Zerui was the youngest among the eight, he did not slack off, and followed the others to pick up large leaves and hay spread in the shed as much as he could. This was requested by Gu Qingning, hay must be covered, otherwise the beach will be heavy with salt, and the body may become dehydrated and unable to wake up after sleeping until the next day. Even Jiang Xian, who had experience in wild survival, didn''t know this, but Gu Qingning had heard his father mention it before. At that time when we were playing at the beach, Xiao Bai just said something casually, but Gu Qingning, who was still young, wrote it down. For this reason, she returned home after playing, and even looked through the information to make sure that what her father said was correct. Gu Qingning is a person who cares about everything. She likes to explore unknown things, verify answers, and store up all kinds of knowledge. In the next two days, the eight guests who participated in the recording of the program, from the beginning, Jiang Xian, who was the oldest among them and had outdoor experience, was the main backbone, to Gu Qingning, who was not yet seventeen years old, invisibly became Everyone''s leading figure. It¡¯s not a big deal to say that you picked up a lot of seafood at the beginning and instructed everyone to build a strong shed. Then use coconut meat to make coconut oil, use stones to cook seafood grills on iron plates, and use seawater to filter fresh water, so that everyone can basically have free fresh water. After all these incidents happened, other celebrities and guests couldn''t help but get used to listening to her. Because of Gu Qingning''s presence, this island survival variety show suddenly turned into a gourmet show for island vacations. During the recording of the whole program, the director who watched it was hard to describe... (end of this chapter) Chapter 516: cheat Chapter 516 Deception This situation is far beyond the director''s expectations! The director is very worried, this kind of development that changes the direction of his original recording, will no one want to watch it after the editing is finished and broadcast? But seeing the cheerful appearance of the eight guests on vacation, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this was not bad? The director told himself that since it happened, let it be. He was powerless to stop it. Who made the two young masters and young ladies who accidentally joined their program recording be the children of the big boss? This recording, as long as the boss thinks there is no problem, what else can he say? But although this time the program can''t take the difficult route of survival on the island, next time as long as you don''t bring the young master and young lady of their group, the other guests should suffer, and they will come sooner or later¡ª ¡­ The three days and two nights program recording by the seaside will soon be over. These few days, Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui had a great time playing. For the first time, the two experienced the joy of living independently on their own. This kind of journey ahead is full of unknowns and adventures, and it also allows them to get more happiness after they have gained something. After the recording of the program was finished and the program crew left the island, Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui were still a little reluctant to part. "Mom, will there be such holiday activities next year?" Gu Zerui can''t wait to hope that his travel itinerary next year can follow this year''s. Seeing her son''s expectant face, it was hard for Lan Shu not to agree. "We can have a similar itinerary next year, but it doesn''t have to be by the sea." Lan Shu replied. In fact, there are many activities to exercise children''s independence, such as farmhouse. Picking vegetables, fishing, and cooking by yourself, the effect is similar. When Gu Zerui heard his mother agreeing to his request, he was so happy that he was about to jump up! Gu Qingning on the side is also looking forward to the next trip. She even made up her mind to call her cousin Lan Juncheng next time, Junjun would definitely like such an event. As for Dabao... Gu Qingning thought for a while, then shook his head lightly, rejecting his idea. Dabao is usually busy with work, so he probably doesn¡¯t have time to hang out with them. ¡­ The vacation is over, and Lan Shu''s family of four returns to Kyoto on the last day of the vacation. The next day, Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui, two siblings, put away their fun and went back to school. On the first day of school again, after school, when Gu Qingning and his cousin Lan Juncheng went home together, they suddenly heard something mentioned by his cousin¡ª¡ª During the few days of the holiday, Gu Qingning and his family went on vacation, while Lan Juncheng had nothing to do, so he went to see Meng Dabao again and asked about Meng Dabao''s mother''s condition. Lan Juncheng experienced being abducted when he was a child. What happened in those few days left a deep shadow on his young heart. Afterwards, his mother accompanied him slowly out of the haze. Mother''s position in his heart is extremely important, so after he learned that Meng Dabao''s mother was ill, he couldn''t help caring about his friend''s mother. From Meng Dabao''s mouth, Lan Juncheng knew that Dabao''s mother was fine. Although she still needed to take medicine, she would be cured eventually. And Meng Dabao has given almost all of his savings and new salary to his mother. Hearing what Meng Dabao said, Lan Juncheng thought at first that Dabao''s mother might be seriously ill, which is why he needed so much money to take medicine. But the next day, because he had reached a mature age and the clothes were smaller, he was dragged by his mother to the mall to buy clothes. In the clothing store near the shopping mall, he accidentally saw Meng Dabao''s mother energetically soliciting customers to sell clothes, she didn''t look sick at all. This made Lan Juncheng wonder, is Meng Dabao''s mother really sick? And does she really need so much money to take medicine? Although Lan Juncheng couldn''t believe that there would be mothers trying to plot against their children, the facts he saw with his own eyes didn''t seem to be fake. So when his cousin came back from her trip, he told her about it. Gu Qingning knows more about the situation of the Meng family than Lan Juncheng. She knew that Meng Dabao''s parents divorced when he was three years old, and she also knew that Meng Dabao''s biological mother had instigated Meng Dabao to stay away from his stepmother. Moreover, Gu Qingning also knew that Meng Dabao''s real mother seemed to have a problem with her mother, and her mother didn''t like it. In short, Gu Qingning had a very bad impression of Meng Dabao''s mother. If she hadn''t learned that Meng Dabao''s mother was sick, she would not have sympathized with Meng Dabao''s mother. Now that he learned from his cousin that Meng Dabao''s mother may have cheated Meng Dabao of money by falsely claiming to be ill, Gu Qingning felt that this matter must be investigated! Otherwise, Dabao''s stupid head will definitely be deceived forever! So when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng were on vacation for the weekend, they had already quietly investigated the current situation of Meng Dabao''s mother... ¡­ A few days later, it was the weekend again. Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning found Meng Dabao again, and informed them of their recent investigation in detail. "Your mother''s illness is no longer serious. I have calculated the medicines she takes every day. The monthly dosage of those medicines only costs more than 100 yuan." Gu Qingning said. "Yes, Dabao, you gave your mother four thousand during the summer vacation. Your mother can''t finish it no matter how much medicine she takes. There is no need to ask you for salary later!" Lan Juncheng followed with a slightly excited tone. These investigation results were found out together with his cousin Qingning. The moment the two finished calculating the drug price, Lan Juncheng couldn''t believe that there was still a mother who was greedy for her son''s money! Besides, Meng Dabao is not very smart¡ª¡ª Being another mother, it might be too late to feel sorry for her son, but Meng Dabao''s mother has a wrong mind, and she doesn''t even let her own son go! The two faced each other, Meng Dabao originally planned to give the money to his own mother after the salary was paid this month. But now hearing what his friends said, he was taken aback! He couldn''t believe that his own mother would come to cheat him of money! He also believes what Qingning and Junjun said is true... So a few days later, when Lan Xinya was stuck in Meng Dabao''s salary payment time again and came to ask her son for money, Meng Dabao looked at his own mother, and he shook his head. "Mom, the money I gave you before is actually enough for you to buy medicine?" Hearing what her son said, Lan Xinya felt ¡®thump~! ¡¯ Jump! "Who did you listen to?" Lan Xinya thought that the Meng family knew about her situation and asked her son not to give her money. But she still told her son, "You are my son, you have to trust me, mom will not harm you, now you give mom money, mom will save it for you, when you marry a wife and have children, mom will I''ll give you the money." By saying this, Lan Xinya admitted that she had indeed lied to Meng Dabao. Her money is enough to take medicine, and asking Meng Dabao for money is purely for money, not for medical treatment. (end of this chapter) Chapter 517: beat around the bush Chapter 517 Beat the bush With Lan Xinya''s words, Meng Dabao immediately understood that his mother really lied to him! What did you say to save money for him, and give it to him later... Even if he is not smart, he knows that he cannot trust a person who deceives him time and time again! When his own mother came to ask him for money, but she said she would lend it to him first and return it to him later. But now, she not only has no intention of paying back the money, but also wants to get more money from herself! With Meng Dabao''s IQ, that''s all he can think of. He doesn''t have much affection for his own mother, so most of his thoughts at the moment are only on money, and he doesn''t particularly care about it. Fortunately, Meng Dabao was not hurt by his mother''s deception. He looked at Lan Xinya and said, "Mom, I won''t give you any more money." After finishing speaking, he didn''t mention whether he still wanted the money he gave before, and turned around and walked away from Lan Xinya¡ª Lan Xinya was very upset when she realized that she could not ask her son for money again! She knew very well that with her son''s mind, she would not know that she had money to take medicine. So the Meng family must have checked her situation and told Dabao not to give her money. Lan Xinya hated the people of the Meng family in the first place, but now she directly hates them! Lan Xinya feels that things have not gone well for her these years. First, he was cheated into selling a house for investment, and all the money was taken away. Then, Lan Shu wanted to **** the old house of the Lan family that he almost got. Later she even got breast cancer, and spent all her savings in order to treat the disease. Now it''s hard to get some money from her son, but she hasn''t got it for a few months, and this method of getting money has been cut off! What went wrong that brought her down to where she is now? Lan Xinya suddenly thought of a long time ago, when she was eighteen or nineteen years old, she was young and beautiful with a slender figure. At that time, she was the daughter of the Lan family, her father was in business, her mother had a decent job, and she also graduated from college, so she just had to wait for her family to arrange a job for her. At that time, Lan Xinya felt youthful and beautiful when she thought about it now. Even Gu Cheng, a business genius who was well-known in the business district of Kyoto at the time, liked her and became her boyfriend. Comparing the self at that time with the present self, Lan Xinya suddenly found that she was the same herself, but seemed to be two people. Back then, I didn¡¯t worry about anything, I just waited for a well-married man. The current self is obese, mean-spirited, and only cares about money. Lan Xinya discovered that background and money can really change a person. Even if she knows that she is not good now, but if you want her to change, she will not be able to change back to her former self. What she can do now is to make money! Only money can make her feel safe! But no matter how much she sells clothes in her two small stores, she can''t make much money. Lan Xinya got more than 5,000 yuan easily from her son before, which made her feel that this is the shortcut to getting rich. Get money from others, easy and fast! Even if her son doesn¡¯t give the money, she might still get it from other places¡ª ¡­ In the Meng family, it didn''t take long for Meng Heng to find out about his son being defrauded of money. Meng Dabao has a simple mind. He is a person who can''t hide things in his heart. When he learned that he was cheated by his mother, Meng Dabao was depressed. Anyone can see that there is something wrong with this reaction. So Meng Heng went to chat with his son, and it was easy to know that after his son gave Lan Xinya 4,000 yuan for medical treatment, he came to ask for two months'' salary of his son. If the son hadn¡¯t learned from a friend that Lan Xinya¡¯s medicine would not cost that much money, he would continue to give Lan Xinya the wages he paid! Meng Heng is very grateful to his son''s two friends. If they didn''t care about their son, Dabao didn''t know when he would be deceived. But after this incident, Meng Heng felt that he had to pay more attention to his son''s daily situation. Otherwise, maybe at some point, his son will suffer from similar things. ¡­ Kyoto, Lan Dazhuang''s home. After Lan Juncheng learned that his friend Meng Dabao refused to give money to his mother, he was happy for Meng Dabao. Lan Juncheng turned around and told his cousin Gu Qingning the good news. Listening to what his cousin said on the phone, Gu Qingning heaved a sigh of relief. With the stubbornness of a little fool, this time his mother lied to him, he will never believe his mother''s words again. This is good, Meng Dabao will not be deceived again. Gu Qingning didn''t know much about Meng Dabao''s biological mother before, but now for her friend, she is going to inquire about Lan Xinya. Gu Qingning knew that her mother would not want her to understand the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, so she did not ask her parents, but ''started'' from other people. Lan Xinya''s surname is Lan, which is the same as her mother''s surname, so she must have a lot of connections with the Lan family. And my own mother has two natal families. One is the Lan family in Kyoto. Her grandfather, Lan Weicheng, runs a business, and her grandmother has retired. The other natal family was born in Tianshui Village, Qingyang County. Grandfather Lan Shengli and grandmother Chang Chunfang. Gu Qingning was taken to Tianshui Village several times by her mother when she was a child, so she knew the situation of her grandparents'' house in Qingyang County. Her three uncles also came from Tianshui Village, Qingyang County. How can a person have two fathers and two mothers? So there must be something wrong with it! Taking advantage of the weekend, Gu Qingning went to her grandparents'' house in the capital to visit her grandparents. After lunch, when chatting with grandpa and grandma in the afternoon, she pretended to mention Lan Xinya''s name inadvertently. "I have a good friend named Meng Dabao. Our birthdays are on the same day. His mother''s name is Lan Xinya, and it turns out that her last name is Lan." When she said this, Gu Qingning clearly saw the surprised expression on her grandmother''s face, and then subconsciously looked at her grandfather. Having such a reaction has already explained Lan Xinya''s situation. Grandpa and grandma must know about it! So Gu Qingning continued, "It''s just that my friend''s mother is not very good. When his mother was sick and needed money to see a doctor, Meng Dabao had already given his mother thousands of dollars. Later, his mother didn''t need that much for medicine. money, but she still asked Meng Dabao for money." "Meng Dabao''s temperament is relatively simple. He almost gave all his salary to his mother. For a while, he had no money to eat, so he could only starve..." Hearing her granddaughter''s words, Xu Shan showed sympathy on her face. Lan Weicheng also sighed, and then his frown did not relax for a moment. Lan Weicheng is different from Xu Shan. He has been in business for more than ten years and has met people from all walks of life. From the beginning, he saw from his granddaughter''s words that her granddaughter was beating around the bush to inquire about things with them. (end of this chapter) Chapter 518: Real sickness? Chapter 518 Real or fake? Although juniors are not allowed to discuss matters of elders, but his granddaughter has been smart since childhood, and Lan Weicheng has long stopped treating her as a child. And regarding the situation of their former adopted daughter, Lan Xinya, it is best for Xiao Qingning to know something, so that she will stay away from him. So Lan Weicheng told his granddaughter about the fact that their daughter was wrongly held, and it took nineteen years to recognize her biological daughter. Now, Gu Qingning finally knows why she has two grandpas and two grandmas. It turned out that Meng Dabao''s biological mother was the adopted daughter of his own grandparents! Adding that her two grandfathers are cousins, so she and Meng Dabao are actually somewhat distant relatives? Knowing everything, Gu Qingning understood what Meng Dabao''s mother had done in the past. Regarding the fact that a mother can ask her son for all the money because of illness, Lan Xinya is really able to do it. Lan Weicheng''s original intention was to let his granddaughter understand the situation, but he must not have anything to do with their former adopted daughter. Gu Qingning understood Grandpa''s intentions, and nodded in agreement. ¡­ Not long after Gu Qingning left his grandfather''s house, Lan Weicheng didn''t expect that their former adopted daughter Lan Xinya, who was just mentioned by his granddaughter, would come to the door. Today''s Lan Xinya is no longer the adopted daughter they were familiar with back then. Thirty-seven-year-old Lan Xinya seems to be about the same age as Xu Shan''s adoptive mother. Because of illness, she lost more than ten catties of flesh recently, which made her face loosen a lot. With her drooping cheeks, no one doubts that she is in her fifties or sixties. Lan Xinya came to the door just for one thing, "Dad, Mom, please help me, this time I really can''t do anything, so I''m begging you..." Lan Xinya said, that pitiful appearance really makes people feel sympathetic. Anyone who sees her will feel sorry for her and want to help her. So Xu Shan asked almost subconsciously, "What''s wrong with you?" Hearing Xu Shan''s words, Lan Xinya knew that her purpose of coming this time was half achieved! She immediately continued, "Dad, Mom, I''m sick, a serious illness, and I need a lot of money for treatment, or I won''t be able to live¡ª" Hearing Lan Xinya''s words, Xu Shan and Lan Weicheng looked at each other subconsciously. At this moment, both of them thought of what their granddaughter told them in the afternoon. Xinya''s visit this time, could she be talking about her disease that has already been operated on and can be sustained only by taking medicine? Or is she suffering from other diseases? Xu Shan couldn''t help asking, "Xinya, what''s wrong with you?" When Lan Xinya heard Xu Shan''s question, she immediately acted according to the reaction she had planned before she came¡ª She hesitated to speak and glanced at her adoptive father Lan Weicheng, and then said to Xu Shan, "Mom, my illness...I will tell you in private." After all, Lan Xinya was born in the 1960s and grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. She has feudal ideas in her heart that most women in this era have. Therefore, it is not easy for her to speak out about breast cancer in front of men. And Lan Xinya knows too well that her adoptive father is not easy to fool. In comparison, her adoptive mother Xu Shan is more talkative and more sympathetic to her. Seeing this, Lan Weicheng didn''t mean to evade, "Xinya, just tell me if you''re sick, I can''t know what kind of sickness it is?" After finishing speaking, Lan Weicheng followed up, "If you don''t want to say it, then forget it." What he said meant the same as driving someone away. Lan Xinya doesn''t talk about the situation, and he doesn''t care about Lan Xinya''s affairs. In desperation, Lan Xinya had no choice but to tell her illness. "Dad, Mom, I have breast cancer. The doctor said that the disease is not too serious and I can still live, but I need a lot of money for treatment..." Speaking of her condition, followed by hesitating words, it was obvious that she wanted to ask her adoptive parents for money. Although Lan Xinya knew very well that her adoptive parents had severed ties with her at the beginning, but she was raised by them after all, how could they watch her die and refuse to save her? It was precisely this point that Lan Xinya came to ask for money. Lan Xinya originally thought that she would definitely be able to get the money, but unexpectedly, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan looked at each other again, with unspeakable emotions on their faces. They already knew from their granddaughter this afternoon that Lan Xinya had been ill before, and Meng Dabao gave back a few thousand dollars for his mother to see a doctor. Later, the granddaughter and her cousin found out that Lan Xinya''s illness was almost cured, and she didn''t need much money at all. If they didn''t know this, maybe they really believed Lan Xinya''s words at this moment, and gave her the money! But now, just because he knew about it, Lan Weicheng was not anxious about his adopted daughter''s condition. "Xinya, when did you get sick? Which hospital did you see it in? Did the doctor tell you how much money is needed to treat the disease?" Lan Weicheng asked. Hearing what her adoptive father said, Lan Xinya felt that her adoptive father was nervous about her. So she completely ignored the calmness in Lan Weicheng''s eyes at the moment. "I was not feeling well some time ago. I found out that I was sick when I went to the hospital for an examination. I was treated in the No. 1 Hospital. The doctor said that my illness is expected to cost tens of thousands of dollars to cure. Dad, you must save me. !" Lan Weicheng nodded after hearing this, and then turned his head to explain to his wife beside him, "Xu Shan, go to the hospital with Xinya tomorrow to get a good understanding of Xinya''s condition, and then ask the doctor if there is anything you need to pay attention to during the treatment." Yes, such as whether to avoid eating or not.¡± Lan Weicheng didn''t believe Lan Xinya''s words. So if this matter is passed by a doctor, then it will soon be known that Lan Xinya''s disease was discovered before, and now it is about to be cured. It happened recently and needs a lot of money for treatment. Xu Shan nodded immediately when she heard her man''s explanation. Meanwhile, Lan Xinya''s expression turned ugly instantly! "Dad, you don''t need to go to such trouble as Mom. I will remember what the doctor told me. I don''t have any taboos for this disease. I just need to have surgery, take medicine on time afterward, and go to the hospital for regular checkups." Xu Shan didn''t seem to understand Lan Xinya''s refusal. She showed a caring attitude for her daughter, and said sternly, "No! You have such a serious illness, how can I rest assured, I must see a doctor, and ask the doctor about your condition." Hearing what Xu Shan said, Lan Xinya was very nervous. It was already winter and the weather was getting colder, but she still couldn''t help sweating on her forehead. "Mom, you really don''t need to go to the hospital..." "If you don''t go to the hospital, how can we know whether you are really sick or just pretending to be sick?" Lan Weicheng frowned slightly. Seeing that his adopted daughter was almost unable to hide it, he directly pointed out his suspicion. When Lan Xinya heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she looked at Lan Weicheng with an incredulous expression on her face as she spoke. "Dad! How can you say that? If you don''t believe me, I''ll show you the CT scan I took!" There are a lot of things to do during the holidays. Today is the first chapter, and I will update it tomorrow~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 519: doesnt work Chapter 519 doesn''t work "Your adoptive mother and I are not doctors and can''t understand CT films, but if you bring them just right, we can take them to the hospital and ask the doctor about the severity of your condition." Lan Weicheng said calmly. Seeing what Lan Weicheng said, Lan Xinya suddenly understood that her adoptive father didn''t believe that she was sick at all. Even if he showed evidence of his illness, he and his adoptive mother would investigate his illness thoroughly. So it is completely unworkable for me to ask my adoptive parents for money because of my illness! At this time, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan looked at Lan Xinya fixedly, wanting to see what reason their adopted daughter would say for asking for money. And Lan Xinya wanted to understand the current situation. Although she was angry at her adoptive parents for being defensive and ruthless to her, she was helpless. "Dad, Mom, I thought we were a family after all. I didn''t expect you to be so cruel. Since you don''t care about me, forget it. I won''t beg you in front of you." "If you want to watch me die, then I will grant your wish!" Lan Xinya''s words were completely self-defeating, blaming Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan for not saving them. Even what she meant, even if she died, she was killed by Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan! Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan didn''t expect their adopted daughter to say that. They were startled for a while, and then they were very angry! The adopted daughter was obviously here to cheat money, they didn''t expose it directly, they had already saved face for her. But now, she speaks so badly. Anyway, they already knew that Lan Xinya''s illness would never kill her. So Lan Weicheng said to Lan Xinya, "We still have to eat, so we won''t keep you." He didn''t want to hear Lan Xinya continue to mess around here and try to deceive them, so the last sentence was to drive people away. Lan Xinya didn''t expect that she tried to get rich by asking for money for the first time, but she was rejected in the end. She was startled, and then left the Lan''s house with an angry face¡ª ¡­ When Lan Xinya failed to ask her adoptive parents for money, she planned to try her biological parents next time. Lan Weicheng called his cousin. What happened today, he was just in case, so he reminded his cousin. The current Lan Shengli left the capital after his father died and returned to Linjiang City. Lan Shengli and his wife Chang Chunfang finally don''t have to live in two places and haven''t seen each other for several years. But even if the two are under the same roof, they don''t have the harmony they once had. Lan Shengli even planned to go back to his hometown Tianshui Village during the Chinese New Year this year. At least the village is bustling with activity, much better than the cold face he faces his wife every day. And Chang Chunfang also felt that the relationship between herself and her wife would never be the same as before. After dinner in the evening, Lan Shengli received a call and learned about Lan Xinya''s claim of illness and asking for money. Lan Shengli felt ashamed when he thought that Lan Xinya was their biological daughter after all, but she was thinking about the money of her adoptive parents! After the phone call, Lan Shengli also told his wife about the matter, lest his wife, because of ignorance, should be approached by Lan Xinya to ask for money, she would definitely give it all without saying a word¡ª Lan Shengli didn''t care about his own daughter. If he encountered a major matter like life and death and could solve it with money, he would definitely pay. But Lan Xinya''s current situation is not a matter of money, but that her illness has almost been cured, and she has just received enough money from her biological son to take medicine, and she is still begging for money from other people because of her illness. Behavior is wrong thinking! For such a situation, Lan Shengli would not give money for anything. And Chang Chunfang learned that her biological daughter was sick a few months ago and had an operation. Even though she was angry with her biological daughter''s attitude towards her and drove her out of the capital, she was still soft-hearted and worried about her daughter''s health. But with his wife''s warning and his wife''s clear attitude to ignore the matter, Chang Chunfang could only suppress her sympathy and concern for her biological daughter. Fortunately, Xinya''s illness is fine now, otherwise, even if she is angry with her daughter, she can''t let her daughter be sick and just ignore it. Because Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang knew about Lan Xinya asking for money in advance, so a few days later, when Lan Xinya contacted her biological parents, begged for sympathy with her illness, and tried to ask for money, they were naturally met by Lan Xinya. of rejection. As for Chang Chunfang, Lan Shengli has managed the money all these years, and she has long since ceased to be in charge of the family. So she only cared and sympathized with her biological daughter, but did not give money. In the end, Lan Xinya''s behavior of trying to ask others for money to expand her property is completely unworkable! Whether it is the adoptive parents or the biological parents, they are not short of money, but they just don¡¯t want to give it to her. This made her very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She thought viciously in her heart that she could only wait for the day when her parents died. As her own daughter, she might still get a share of the inheritance... ¡­ In the winter of 1998, during the few days of Chinese New Year, snowflakes were flying, and Kyoto was covered in white. There are no major events this year. Lan Shu is with her family and celebrates the New Year happily. Years later, at the end of March, on Gu Qingning''s seventeenth birthday, Lan Shu personally made a cake for her daughter. Another month passed, and the island survival variety show that Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui participated in had finally started. As for the participation of two ordinary siblings among the six celebrities, the audience did not approve at first. But after seeing the elder sister among the siblings used the knowledge she had learned to bring six stars to turn the island survival show into a seaside vacation, the audience suddenly understood the intention of the program group. Without that girl, the stars would probably suffer~! In addition, the elder sister among the siblings is beautiful, and although the younger brother is young, he is very sensible and has helped a lot, so as the program aired one after another, the siblings who are not celebrities also won Many viewers like it. This caused Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui to fight back in a small area! The elementary and high school classmates where the two are located know that there are two starlets in their school. Gu Qingning didn''t feel anything about being watched by her own class and other students right after class. But Gu Zerui is still young and a little careless. Even Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, the parents, can feel that their son is always in a state of complacency recently. But before the two of them could give their son a verbal education, Gu Qingning, the elder sister, had already treated her younger brother in a docile manner. The suppression of blood between siblings seems to be innate, Gu Qingning said a few words to Gu Zerui''s behavior, and made Gu Zerui ''awake'' again. (end of this chapter) Chapter 520: Very busy Chapter 520 Very busy This episode of the Island Survival Variety Show, although it was only recorded for three days and two nights, after splitting and broadcasting, it took two full months to end. When the variety show was over and Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui were considered well-known, Gu Qingning didn''t care about the outside world''s evaluation of her at all, but concentrated on practicing the piano. It is almost time for her to participate in the international piano competition. Seventeen-year-old Gu Qingning is still competing in the junior group this time. During the last international piano competition, she and her cousin Lan Juncheng were fourteen years old, one won the first place in the youth group, and the other took the third place in the youth group. This time they practiced the piano for another three years, and winning the top two is not a big problem at all. But who is the first and who is the second, Gu Qingning wants to compete with his cousin! ¡­ While Gu Qingning was concentrating on piano practice, Lan Gu Group and Lan Shu hadn''t been idle recently. The 20th year is about to enter. After the millennium, people''s economic situation will once again undergo a dramatic improvement! After a few years, the housing price will also be the same every year, increasing exponentially! So before the arrival of the millennium, the group mainly focused on the real estate sector to accelerate the development of the real estate direction. In the first few months of the first half of the year alone, Langu Group has already invested hundreds of millions of dollars to purchase a lot of land in Kyoto, Haicheng, and Shencheng in advance. The next step is to build office buildings and high-end residential communities one after another. Langu Group''s drastic development of real estate business, it is hard not to arouse the ideas of the industry peers. As a result, several large-scale real estate companies followed suit and hoarded two or three more plots of land than originally planned. These real estate companies don''t know how much benefit they will bring to the company in the future by following suit! In the past two years, the business development of Langu Group in all directions has almost become the industry benchmark. Many enterprises have imitated the development direction of Langu Group. It¡¯s like twenty years ago, when Lan Shu transformed the factory in the toilet paper factory to produce sanitary napkins, there will always be other factories following their factory. Lan Shu is not afraid of her own things being learned, she just needs to let the group stabilize its leading position in the industry. After the meeting in the group building, Lan Shu returned home, and it was almost time for her son to leave school, so she drove to school to pick up her child. Lan Shu''s driving skills have gotten better and better in the past few months, but as there are more and more cars in Kyoto, traffic jams will inevitably occur when the children go to and leave school. Fortunately, she went out early today, so she arrived near the school before the rush hour of the traffic jam. Even so, it is conceivable that after receiving his son, the road home may be blocked again. But that''s all for later, now she''ll get her son in first. In school, Gu Zerui is already eight and a half years old this year, only two or three months away from nine years old. Gu Zerui is in the second grade of elementary school. Although his grades are good on weekdays, he is a boy after all, so he can be naughty. Fortunately, he is more sensible, listens to the teacher, and does not cause trouble at school. Usually, Lin Ting, the nanny at home, usually picks up Rarity from school. Lin Ting is forty-two this year. She has been working as a nanny in Gu''s family for more than ten years. At first, she was responsible for taking care of Xiao Qingning. After Gu Qingning grew up, she took care of Gu Zerui again. Before Lan Shu came here today, she told Lin Ting that she was going to pick up the child, and it was good for Lin Ting to rest at home. So when Gu Zerui saw that it was not the nanny who came to pick him up from the school gate, but his own mother, Rarity, who was already as tall as Lanshu''s shoulders, smiled cheerfully and flew into his mother''s arms¡ª This made Lan Shu feel again the importance of being a mother to a child. Although Rarity doesn''t usually say anything, every time she comes to pick up her son, she can feel the rising joy in her son''s heart. It is precisely because she knows that the child wants to pick him up by herself, so Lan Shu will come here in person whenever she is free. But even so, the number of times she comes to pick up her son every month is very small. ¡­ After picking up her son, it took Lan Shu more than half an hour to drive home from the congested road. Usually, if there is no traffic jam, this journey only takes more than ten minutes. Elementary school ends early, and high school ends a little later, but now I am cooking, and when the meal is ready, my daughter will almost be home. High school has evening self-study, but Gu Qingning recently asked the teacher for leave because he was about to go abroad for a competition, so he didn''t participate in the evening self-study. Fortunately, her usual academic performance is good, so the teacher exempted her from evening self-study. When his daughter came back from school, Xiaobai also got off work from the group, and the family sat in the restaurant, eating happily. After dinner, the two children went upstairs to do their homework, while Lan Shu asked Xiao Bai about the adjustment of the time next month to take the children abroad for competitions. Xiao Bai smiled, showing a reassuring look. "It''s all set," he said. As he got older, the man''s voice became more and more deep and magnetic. Just by speaking, there was a feeling of charm. Fortunately, over the years, Lan Shu has gotten used to Xiao Bai becoming more and more attractive as he gets older. But even so, she still felt that her man was perfect and couldn''t find any flaws. The two chatted a few words about going abroad, and then talked about Xiaobai''s recent career in the group. The game research and development department of the electronic information department of Langu Group recently celebrated the first anniversary of the online game. Xiaobai put the game he led the development into the market, and spent a year to test it. The results are gratifying! As the first real online game at home and abroad, this year, the game has been a hit since it was released! The profit for the current year has already fully earned back the funds for the original research and development, and there is still a surplus. If this goes on, every year the game will exist will be a big profit for the group. According to Lan Shu''s estimation, this game should not be eliminated in the next fifteen years. After all, the games that have grown up with today''s generation of game lovers will still have feelings to sell after ten years. Regarding the success of the game, Lan Shu is very happy for Xiaobai. At the same time, the group''s profit is also clearly visible. In addition to this game, Xiaobai proposed to continue to develop another leisure and entertainment online game. Hearing her man''s thoughts, Lan Shu was really embarrassed. "A few days ago, Professor Chen, Professor Zhang, and Professor Li called my office and asked when I would let you go and let you go to the laboratory to participate in the research and development of new drugs..." Hearing what his wife said, Xiaobai froze for a moment. "All right." As he spoke, he suddenly realized that he was really busy... (end of this chapter) Chapter 521: did not expect Chapter 521 Unexpected July, summer vacation is coming. There is still more than half a month left before the day when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng''s cousins ??will participate in the International Piano Competition. Taking advantage of the time to practice the piano, the two of them have stayed behind closed doors for the past few days, only practicing hard. At their level of piano performance, even the piano teacher can''t help and guide them. Fortunately, Xiaobai has connections, so he invited a piano master for a short-term guidance for his daughter. During the two days when the piano master came, Junjun also came to take lessons thanks to his cousin. Lan Juncheng''s talent in playing the piano was once again affirmed by the piano master. And when Gu Qingning heard what the piano master said, she also had a clear understanding of her own abilities. It seems that in this international piano competition, there is a high probability that I will not be able to compare with my cousin. So her goal has moved away from the first place in the junior group, and she is bound to win the second place! ¡­ Half a month later, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai flew abroad with their daughter, son, and nephew Lan Juncheng. It was not the first time for Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng to participate in an international piano competition. This time, Lan Dazhuang had something to do and couldn''t leave, and Tang Chu was also very relieved that his son was going out with his sister-in-law''s family, so the husband and wife didn''t come. Fortunately, Junjun is almost an adult, so he really doesn''t need his parents to follow him. The plane flew for more than ten hours before arriving at the destination. The five stayed in the hotel arranged by the organizer, and then waited for the competition to start. This time Lanshu''s family came to Seine City, Mark did not miss the reception. Mark is forty-three this year. Apart from being the middle-level leader of the machine company, he has also worked part-time with Lanshu in recent years as a consultant for the export business of the garment department of Langu Group. This job doesn''t need to take much time for Mark. He mainly plays a supervisory role. Lan Shu handed over this matter to Mark, and she was very relieved. Mark, who has two jobs, has also made a leap in financial resources, so Mark married a foreign white female star as his wife last year, and now lives happily. Mark brought his wife with him when he came to see Lan Shu''s family this time. Lan Shu doesn''t know much about foreign female stars, but she also thinks that Mark''s wife is really beautiful. The two families were having dinner at a high-end restaurant. Jun Jun originally wanted to stay alone in the hotel, but was pulled over by Lan Shu and Gu Qingning to have dinner together. The next day, the International Piano Competition was held as scheduled. Mark is not busy with work this time, and he brought his wife to watch the game. Although the two are not family members of the contestants, it is not difficult to get two tickets for the competition with Mark''s ability. It''s just that the two of them sit relatively far behind. The competition started. Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng were the contestants who were expected to be champions in the junior group. The two appeared relatively late in order, and they were the finale. Just as the two of them thought before they came, although there are many contestants with good piano skills in the junior group, they are still not as good as the two. Especially Lan Juncheng, the songs played by talented contestants can impress the audience, and this level can even compete with the youth group contestants who are even higher! And Gu Qingning is not bad, she is quite diligent on the road of learning the piano. So after the two performed on stage, before the intermission of the result of the competition, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng had already received an invitation from a famous foreign music academy, saying that they could enter the academy for advanced studies in advance. Gu Qingning is seventeen years old this year and is in his third year of high school, while Lan Juncheng is not yet seventeen and is only a sophomore at the beginning of school. Now that there is an opportunity for them to skip the college entrance examination and directly enter the university, everyone will inevitably think about it. Lan Juncheng really likes playing the piano, and he even thought about taking the road of music in the future. Although Gu Qingning also likes to play the piano, her clear goal is to be a successful woman like her mother. No matter how much she likes to play the piano, she will not only play the piano in the future. Piano is a hobby for her, but not her future. So after a little thought, the two of them had already made a decision. Lan Juncheng wants to enter a foreign music academy for advanced studies, but he has to go back and ask his parents for permission. Lanshu and Xiaobai heard Junjun''s thoughts, and helped Junjun leave contact information with the music academy, and waited for the results of the Lan''s discussion before deciding whether Junjun would go abroad in advance. In the afternoon, all the contestants in the children''s group, junior group and youth group of the International Piano Competition finished their performances, and the top three rankings of the final three groups were also announced. Unexpectedly, Lan Juncheng won the second place in the junior group, and Gu Qingning won the first place! According to the judges, the level of piano performance of the two is comparable, but Gu Qingning''s expressive power is stronger, and the typhoon is more stable. Indeed, Lan Juncheng was a little nervous when he first took the stage. Gu Qingning, on the other hand, was extremely calm, as if this stage was the back garden of her home, confident and calm. Regarding this result, Gu Qingning did not expect it. But she was happy from the bottom of her heart that she could take the first place. And she knew that this gold medal was probably her last gold medal in an international piano competition. Because of the youth group competition, Junjun will definitely surpass her. By that time, more of her thoughts would not be on playing the piano. It¡¯s fine as it is now, when she was still able to work hard for her hobby, a gold award can be regarded as a perfect end to her efforts. At the moment when Gu Qingning took the stage to accept the award, Xiaobai still took the camera and took pictures of his daughter as souvenirs. ¡­ This summer vacation, when Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng went abroad to compete and won awards. In Kyoto, Meng Dabao''s work in the factory had to come to an end. Back then Meng Dabao was able to work in the factory because Meng Heng found a relationship and sent his son there. Now that factory is not profitable, the leader of the factory plans to lay off workers. Meng Dabao, a recognized fool in the factory, is undoubtedly on the list of layoffs. In this situation, even if Meng Heng seeks a relationship, it is useless. The contact person he was looking for at the beginning has reached the age of retirement in the factory now, and he can''t say much in front of the factory leaders. So after Meng Dabao finished working this month, he will directly enter the unemployment group next month. Meng Dabao never thought about this happening. From the time he entered the factory to work, he felt that he would go up to retirement like this for the rest of his life, but who knew that there would be layoffs in the middle! Meng Dabao is just a small worker in the factory, even if he doesn''t want to leave the factory, there is no way to turn the situation around. So after finishing this month''s work and receiving the current month''s salary, Meng Dabao lost his job¡ª After Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng returned from a foreign competition and played abroad for a few days, they wanted to tell their friends that they won the first and second prizes in the competition, but they learned that Meng Dabao lost his job. Thanks to the running mushroom for rewarding 1666 reading coins. (end of this chapter) Chapter 522: low key Chapter 522 Low-key Seeing her good friend looking downcast, and hearing that Meng Dabao has been staying at home these days and doesn''t want to see anyone, Gu Qingning is somewhat worried about Meng Dabao''s mental state. Gu Qingning still remembers that when she first met Meng Dabao, Meng Dabao couldn''t speak when he was over two years old. Later, when she was a little older, she realized that Meng Dabao''s situation was very wrong, and she even had a tendency to be autistic. She was worried that Meng Dabao would close himself off again, thus avoiding the outside world. So Gu Qingning found her mother after returning home, and wanted to ask her if she could arrange a job for Meng Dabao? Lan Shu has a good impression of Meng Dabao, she has long since untied the knot in her heart, and did not have a bad opinion of Meng Dabao just because he is Lan Xinya''s son. In addition, Meng Dabao is a sincere person, so she seriously considered her daughter''s request. But the matter of arranging work needs to be considered in the long run. Meng Dabao has no academic qualifications, and his brain does not turn around. He can''t do the work of communicating with people, so he can only do physical work. Of course it is good to work in a factory. It will not be particularly tiring to work, and you don¡¯t have to worry too much. The factories under Kelangu Group, except in Qingyang County, are now concentrated in Shencheng. There are actually not many suitable jobs for Meng Dabao in Kyoto. All Lan Shu could think of was the workers of the real estate company''s construction team. She didn''t know if Meng Dabao would like to work on the construction site. Knowing her mother''s thoughts, Gu Qingning hesitated a little. Meng Dabao is her friend, of course she doesn''t want her friend to do dirty and tiring work. But the factory work is not in Kyoto. So Gu Qingning went to Meng''s house, and after asking Meng Dabao to make sure he hadn''t found a new job, she told him that her mother could arrange a job for Meng Dabao. Out-of-town factories and local construction sites, both kinds of jobs Gu Qingning mentioned. She heard from her mother that although the work on the construction site is tiring and dirty, the effort is directly proportional to the harvest. Mom said, don¡¯t underestimate the workers on the construction site, the money they earn every month is even much higher than the salary of sitting in the office! After learning that Gu Qingning could find a job for him, Meng Dabao was still a little awkward at first, feeling that he was incompetent and had to rely on his friends to help him. But he really needs a job and needs to make money to prove his ability and reflect his value. So Meng Dabao decided to choose one of the two jobs. When the elders of the Meng family learned of Meng Dabao''s thoughts, the whole family became worried about him. They felt that with the brains of their elders, it would be uneasy to leave them too far away. But if they stay in Kyoto, they will not be willing to let their children suffer those hardships if they go to work on the construction site. So Meng Heng told his son, "Don''t worry too much about work, Dad will help you figure out a way." Although Meng Heng was doing it for his son''s benefit, how could Meng Dabao not be in a hurry? Since he started working, he has been restless at all. Meng Dabao shook his head and said to Meng Heng, "Dad, I''m still young, and I can work on construction sites, so just let me go." "And Qing Ning said, the wages of working as a worker on a construction site are not low, and you can get more than 1,000 yuan a month." Meng Dabao worked in a factory before, and his monthly salary was about seven or eight hundred. In comparison, the wages on the construction site are really high. Although Meng Heng didn''t want his son to suffer, he thought it was his son''s decision. So after hesitating for a while, he nodded and agreed that his son would go to the construction site as a worker. So Meng Dabao got a job again the next day¡ª Although this job is indeed dirty and tiring, the salary is considerable. When he got his first month''s salary, Meng Dabao felt that all his efforts and sweat were worth it! ¡­ September, school starts. Gu Qingning entered the third year of high school, and her studies became more intense than before. As for Lan Juncheng, he was accompanied by his parents to go abroad a week ago to enroll in the school and enter the Conservatory of Music. Lan Juncheng went to the conservatory of music, which is relatively well-known abroad and has a very high gold content. According to his original plan, he would also go to that college after three years of high school. But now, he enrolled two years earlier. Lan Juncheng is only sixteen or seventeen years old after all, and his family is really worried about being alone abroad. So Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu accompanied their son a few days earlier, walked around the school, and let the son get acquainted with the surrounding environment of foreign schools. Lan Juncheng is doing well in his studies. Although he only went to the first year of senior high school, his foreign language skills have enabled him to communicate normally with people abroad. Fortunately, he took foreign language classes with his cousin Gu Qingning in the extra-curricular time before, so his foreign language proficiency has reached the current level. After Lan Juncheng started school, Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu returned to China. Although they were worried that their son was alone in a foreign country, this was his own choice, and they could only respect it. The two had already made an appointment with their son before they left, and they had to call home every day to report that they were safe. Lan Juncheng knew that his parents were worried about him, so he nodded and agreed one by one. But even if he agreed, Lan Juncheng still felt that it was too expensive to make international long-distance calls every day. Lan Juncheng didn''t know that although the international long-distance phone bill was expensive, his family could still afford it. In recent years, the free-range chicken farm opened by Lan Dazhuang has become large-scale, and the number of chickens raised in the chicken farm in the back mountain of Tianshui Village has exceeded 100,000! The planting area of ??the orchard is also spread over half of the mountain! Lan Dazhuang''s fruit processing factory has been fully developed¡ª Today''s fruit processing factories are no longer the original small factories. A few years ago, under the suggestion of his younger sister, Lan Dazhuang found several high-quality orchards all over the country, and signed a contract with them as his fruit processing factory supplier. Every year, the factory buys more than 80% of the fruit produced by the orchard from the orchard to make juice. High-quality fruit juice, coupled with just-right publicity, and Lanshu''s help in the process. The final result is that this brand of juice is sold all over the country! As the largest shareholder of the fruit processing factory, Lan Dazhuang, because of the fruit processing factory and the free-range chicken farm, his net worth has exceeded tens of millions! Lan Dazhuang is a low-key character. Although he is rich, he doesn''t spend extravagantly, nor does he fully explain his family background to his son. Therefore, in Lan Juncheng''s view, although his family''s conditions are not bad, it is too extravagant to make international long-distance calls every day~! However, in order to reassure my parents, during the first few days when I was alone abroad, I still listened to my parents and called to reassure them. ¡­ Domestic, Tianshui Village, Lanjia. Lan Shengli has been back to the village for more than half a year. For more than half a year, he lived in the old house in the village, as he thought at the beginning, when he was old, he would return to the village, plant a vegetable field, and live a leisurely life in the field. (end of this chapter) Chapter 523: dont mention it Chapter 523 don''t mention it Chang Chunfang also went back to the village with her wife at first, but she didn''t stay long, and then went to Linjiang City, where she usually lives in both the village and the city. But she still lives in the city most of the time. It¡¯s not that Chang Chunfang doesn¡¯t want to live with her wife, but that she has lived in a convenient city for many years, and when she suddenly lives in the village, she thinks it¡¯s more convenient to live in the city. And since she got in touch with her natal family again, her natal family would occasionally visit her. She thinks it is inconvenient to live in the village, but the transportation in the city is convenient. Speaking of Chang Chunfang''s natal family, Chang Chunfang felt that when she asked Shushu to help her younger brother''s two sons and her second sister''s two sons-in-law find jobs, the juniors knew what was good or bad. During the holidays, even if they are far away, her two nieces and the elder nephew''s family will come to see her with gifts. As for the second nephew Changgui, let¡¯s not mention it~! In Chang Chunfang''s eyes, the eldest nephew Chang is just a good person. According to her younger brother, Chang Zheng is doing well in the factory in Shencheng, with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan. The two nieces and son-in-laws are also doing well, one earns more than 900 yuan, and the other around 1,000 yuan. But Chang Gui is different from others! She finally let her daughter let go to arrange a job for Chang Gui, but within two months after Chang Gui left, she was late for work and left early, and as a result, half of her salary was deducted after one month! For this reason, Chang Guiqi specially called her aunt to help them find their leader, and asked the leader to send him the salary as before deducting the money. Of course Chang Chunfang wants to help her nephew, but because of her nephew''s work, she has already lost her relationship with her daughter. How can she talk to Shu Shu about Chang Gui''s salary? She didn''t have the nerve to go to her daughter for this matter, so on the phone, her second nephew Chang Gui was furious and even complained to her, saying that her aunt''s co-adopted daughter was cheating on his nephew! Chang Chunfang was very angry with Chang Gui''s words, and even felt that Chang Gui didn''t know good and bad, didn''t know how to be grateful, and was just a white-eyed wolf! Fortunately, her eldest nephew is a nice person, and later she called and said a lot of good things to her, telling her not to be as knowledgeable as Chang Gui. For the sake of her own brother and nephew, Chang Chunfang really didn''t care about Chang Gui, but she also decided to ignore Chang Gui in the future. In the end, Chang Chunfang heard from her brother that among the four jobs she arranged, Chang Gui left after a short time. Chang Chunfang felt that if she knew that Chang Gui would not be able to do it, she should have asked her daughter for three jobs! She needs one less job, which can also reduce the relationship between her daughter and him. As soon as August 15th was coming, Chang Chunfang returned to her home in Linjiang City more than a week earlier, waiting for her nephew and her nephew and son-in-law''s family to visit her. Sure enough, a few days before the 15th of August, her two nieces and the elder nephew''s daughter-in-law carried moon cakes and eggs, and took a five or six-hour train ride all the way to see her at home. Although the mooncakes and eggs were worthless, they warmed Chang Chunfang''s heart. When the two nieces and the eldest niece and daughter-in-law left, Chang Chunfang also bought six crispy fried chickens for the three of them to take, and gave them to the children. Chang Chunfang didn''t know, when the three of them walked out of her house, their faces became less friendly in an instant. Her eldest niece, Chang Ying, was downcast, holding two crispy fried chickens wrapped in oiled paper in her hands, with a look of disgust on her face, "What do you think our family is short of these two chickens? Every time I come here, there are two chickens." !" Second niece Chang Cui was also unhappy, "It seems like who can''t afford something worth ten yuan?" Although the eldest niece and daughter-in-law Zhou Lan didn''t say anything, judging from her expression, it was obvious that she also didn''t like the two fried chickens in her hand. She didn''t say anything bad about Chang Chunfang, but just persuaded the two eldest sisters, "Forget it, as long as we are polite and the men in the family have stable jobs." They don''t really want to see an old woman, they just want to see the future of their own men, for fear of offending others. ¡­ August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival, Kyoto is quite lively. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, lanterns have already begun to be hung on the streets. It is probably approaching the millennium, so this festival is paid special attention to. Seeing how lively the outside world is, Lan Shu also responded to the occasion and asked people to decorate the inside and outside of her house, so that they also followed the excitement. Probably because the dress is too good-looking, the nine-year-old Gu Zerui wants to invite his classmates to come to his home to experience the festive atmosphere~! However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion, you really shouldn¡¯t bring your classmates to other people¡¯s homes. But Lan Shu promised her son that after the festival, she would allow him to give the lanterns that decorate the house to friends for fun. Besides, before the festival, Lan Shu specially hired a pastry chef to make some mooncakes with various fillings and package them individually so that her son and daughter can give them to friends. She also brought moon cakes and gave some to the elders in the family. Of course, her brothers are also indispensable. ¡­ On August 15th, Lan Juncheng, who was in a foreign country, did not forget to call his parents. Lan Juncheng has been abroad for almost a month. During this month, he has gradually gotten used to life in the conservatory. It''s just a person outside, and I still feel homesick to some extent. On the phone, Lan Juncheng comforted his mother and promised that he would visit his parents during the Chinese New Year. For other international students, round-trip air tickets are quite expensive. If you go out for a trip, you may not go home for several years. Fortunately, Lan Dazhuang''s family has the financial ability. It is also August 15th, today Meng Dabao is on holiday at the construction site, and he can finally rest for a day with a clean body. Meng Dabao''s health is not very good. He had a hard time working on the construction site for a month, and it was very difficult for him to persist at first, and he got used to it a little later. Now it is rare to have time to rest. He had a good night''s sleep at home, and came down from the upstairs room at lunchtime, and sat at the dining table to eat with his family. Meng Dabao''s younger sister, Meng Xiaoxiao, is nine years old this year. Meng Xiaoxiao is in the third grade of elementary school. After she gets older, she is not as clingy to her brother as she was when she was a child. Meng Dabao occasionally went to school to pick up his younger sister a few times. For some reason, Meng Xiaoxiao heard rumors in the school class that her brother was a fool. Although Meng Xiaoxiao knew that her brother had a problem with IQ, she didn''t think it was a problem before, but ever since she was discussed by her classmates, she suddenly felt ashamed to have such a brother. Gradually, the relationship between her and her brother became a little bit distant. Meng Dabao didn''t notice this situation, but Sun Yuan noticed some signs. Although Sun Yuan is Meng Dabao''s stepmother, she is really kind to Meng Dabao, and almost treats Meng Dabao as her own son. Of course she doesn''t want the relationship between her daughter and Dabao to be bad. So in private, Sun Yuan talked about her daughter several times. Although Meng Xiaoxiao''s age has not yet reached the rebellious stage, she already has a rebellious mentality. Hearing her mother talking about herself because of her brother, Meng Xiaoxiao became even more angry with her brother. So during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Meng Dabao enthusiastically picked up vegetables for his younger sister, Meng Xiaoxiao said with disgust, "Don''t pick it up for me, don''t I have long hands?" At the dining table, the harmonious atmosphere of the family was suddenly broken¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 524: responsibility Chapter 524 Liability Meng Dabao was startled because of his sister''s words. Although he was a little silly, he could tell that his sister was unhappy. So Meng Dabao immediately said, "Smile, then eat by yourself." Meng Xiaoxiao looked up and saw her brother''s flattering smile, and the cold faces of her parents, who were looking at her with displeasure. Meng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt wronged! She thought that her parents blamed her because of her brother because they were eccentric. She could feel that the family''s attitude towards her was different from that towards her brother. Even if her brother is older than her, many times the elders in the family will care more about her brother and what he thinks. And there is another point. Although she has not said it, she feels uncomfortable in her heart. ¡ªHis grandparents would always tell her that when she grows up, she should take more care of her brother. Before, Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t think it was a big deal. She and her brother are brothers and sisters, so they should care about each other. Now that she is a little older, she gradually understands what the elders mean, that she wants to take care of her brother''s future. When she grows up, it''s not just as simple as caring for each other with her brother. Taking care of her brother will become her duty. This kind of task imposed on her made Meng Xiaoxiao feel her existence. It was because her parents and grandparents worried that they would not be able to take care of her brother when they got old, so they asked her to take over their care for her brother. Although Meng Xiaoxiao is only nine years old, if he is a child in someone else''s family, he is at the age when he is young and has fun. But because of family reasons, she was forced to accept many things that a child shouldn''t worry about. Now her attitude towards her brother is actually a rebellion against the family and the elders who put their thoughts on her. Meng Xiaoxiao stood up from the dining table and said angrily, "I won''t eat!" Then he turned and walked upstairs¡ª Meng Xiaoxiao''s disobedient behavior in the eyes of her elders resulted in her being taught a lesson by her parents! Although Sun Yuan was reluctant to spank the child, Xiaoxiao''s attitude towards Dabao made it difficult for her as a mother, so she spanked her daughter twice. Meng Heng felt that doing this would let his daughter know that she was wrong, and she would correct it. After all, he was beaten up when he was young, and now his daughter is beaten twice. But Meng Xiaoxiao was beaten by her mother for the first time since she was a child, because she had a bad attitude towards her brother. She thought her parents only had her brother in their hearts, so they beat her. This left her with a deep memory, and the complaint against her brother deepened in her heart! So after the Mid-Autumn Festival, for almost half a month, Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t say a word to his brother. The Meng family saw Meng Xiaoxiao''s attitude towards his brother, so Meng Dabao went to work on the construction site every day, and he was too tired to think about anything else when he came back, so he didn''t find anything wrong with his sister towards him. Maybe he had already discovered it, but he didn''t pay much attention to it. In Meng Dabao''s view, the younger sister is just young and awkward, and she will be fine after a while. But Meng Dabao didn''t know that if some small things were not resolved in time, and kept in mind, they would slowly turn into big things! This year, he focused on working to make money and ignored other things. When he finally had a lot of savings in his hands and wanted to treat his sister well, he found that her sister had completely alienated him... ¡­ One year later, eighteen-year-old Gu Qingning graduated from high school, and her excellent grades allowed her to be admitted to a top university in China. Gu Qingning''s study direction is economic management. She set a goal for herself many years ago, and she wants to become a successful woman like her mother in the future, so she didn''t hesitate at all when choosing a department in college. In November, it has been more than two months since Gu Qingning entered the university. In addition to normal studies, she also used the pocket money she had accumulated to speculate in stocks. Lan Shu knew about her daughter''s stock trading. She didn''t know much about the stock market, and she never thought about listing the group. Lan Shu has always done things safely, and most of the shares in the group are in the hands of her and Xiao Bai, so it can be said that her family dominates. She didn''t think about distributing too many shares, so she didn''t consider the issue of listing. But if my daughter is interested in stock trading, she will support it. Interest is the best teacher, which is also a kind of experience for the daughter. So in the first month after Gu Qingning started stock trading, she received 20,000 yuan in cash from her mother. Lan Shu told her daughter, "The 20,000 yuan is for you and Rarity, of which Rarity''s 10,000 yuan is at your disposal temporarily. If you make money, remember to share it with Rarity." Having money in hand, Gu Qingning is very happy! She had only invested more than 3,000 yuan in the stock market, including part of her brother''s pocket money. Now the money given by her mother is too timely for her! And Gu Qingning did not disappoint her brother. In just over a month, she used the 23,000 yuan in her hand to make a 3% profit. Although this amount of money is not much, it is already a very good result for a novice who has just entered the stock market. Gu Qingning was not complacent or arrogant because of this little gain, she calmed down after a while when she was happy, and continued to work hard! ¡­ Kyoto University, among the freshmen in the Department of Economics, Gu Qingning''s eye-catching appearance has been noticed by many people in the school since she just entered school. After Gu Qingning entered school, within two or three months, many suitors had appeared around her. Gu Qingning was quite distressed by the male students who were all about her. Although there were male classmates who liked her in high school, but at that time, everyone was young, and their studies were the most important, so they didn''t dare to confess. But now that they are all in college, the age of eighteen or nineteen is the best time for love to sprout, so there are more confessions from boys. It''s a pity that Gu Qingning is all about speculating in stocks, and has no intention of falling in love at all. Blinded the wishful thinking of all the boys~! ¡­ Compared to Meng Dabao, who has many suitors on Gu Qingning''s side, and is about to turn nineteen in a few months, his marriage has become a heartache for the Meng family. Because Meng Dabao did not go to school, he has worked outside for several years. His age is the best time to talk to someone. Although Meng Dabao''s mind is not very good, he is also the only grandson of the Meng family, and he will surely shoulder the responsibility of carrying on the family line of the Meng family. It is also because Meng Dabao''s brain is not good, which girl would be willing to marry a simple fool? But even if Meng Dabao himself has problems, he is still looking for a wife. The two elders of the Meng family entrusted relationships, found matchmakers, and introduced girls to their grandsons. Meng Heng and Sun Yuan are also not idle, and they will mention people they know and those who have daughters of the right age at home. It''s a pity to know that Meng Dabao is stupid. Even if Meng Dabao has a job and knows how to work, he is also a fool! (end of this chapter) Chapter 525: happy event Chapter 525 happy event Others don''t know that Meng Dabao had a fever when he was a child, so his brain was burnt out. They believed that the offspring of a fool would also be a fool, and they all rejected Meng Heng and Sun Yuan''s marriage proposal for their son. When the matchmakers found by the second elder of the Meng family heard about the situation of their grandson, none of them were willing to worry about the person for his grandson. So the Meng family became anxious. Meng Dabao heard that his parents and grandparents wanted to find a wife for him, but he himself had no idea. His idea is simple, if the elders can find a girl who is willing to marry him, then he will marry it, and he doesn''t care if he can''t find it. When Meng¡¯s parents were worried about their son/grandson¡¯s finding a wife, Meng Dabao¡¯s life was still the same as before. He continued to work on the construction site, leaving early and returning late every day. It was hard work and fulfilling. The family has been busy for half a year. From the beginning, they relied on their connections to find local girls, and later girls from rural areas around Kyoto were also available. But I have never met a girl who is willing to marry a fool. Even if Meng Dabao is not completely stupid, but just not smart enough to turn around, no girl is willing to marry him. When the entire Meng family was worried about this, Meng Dabao, who was working on the construction site, got off work one day and met a girl whose bag was robbed on the street on the way home! Meng Dabao chased after him on his bicycle without saying a word¡ª He has been working on the construction site for the past few months, and his strength is much stronger than before. Even though he is not tall, he quickly snatched the bag back from the other party. Then he returned to the girl and returned the bag to the girl. The girl was very grateful to Meng Dabao for his brave actions. She came to the capital from other places to find work, and all the money she had was in her bag. She couldn''t imagine what she would do if the bag was lost. Fortunately, Meng Dabao helped her **** the bag back! Meng Dabao heard that the girl came to a strange city alone, so he kindly told the girl that he was working on a nearby construction site. In the future, if a girl encounters any trouble or has any difficulties, she can go to him, and he will help as much as he can. The girl was moved by Meng Dabao''s kindness. Even if she found a job later, she would go to Meng Dabao every now and then without encountering any difficulties. Either chat with Meng Dabao, or give Meng Dabao some snacks that she thinks are delicious. Gradually, the relationship between the girl and Meng Dabao became better and better. By the time the Meng family knew about the girl, she and Meng Dabao had already started dating. Girls don''t dislike Meng Dabao''s foolish appearance, but feel that such a man is honest and reliable. The Meng family was very happy when they heard the news. After asking the girl what she thought and knowing that the girl was willing to marry into their family, the Meng family immediately contacted the girl''s parents and began to discuss the marriage between the children. The girl was born in a small county, and her parents are of course happy to be able to marry in a big city like Kyoto. It''s just that when her parents learned that the man their daughter was going to marry had a mental problem, they immediately disagreed! But the girl insisted on getting married, so the relationship with her parents was still a little unhappy. Meng Dabao really felt that the girl was kind to him, so he personally came to the door and asked the girl''s parents to marry the girl to him. At the same time, the Meng family also showed the greatest sincerity, and gave the bride price 30,000 yuan! Nowadays, when the average salary of workers in big cities is about 1500, and most workers in small counties still earn 700 to 800, the bride price of 30,000 is definitely a high-priced gift! Finally, the girl''s parents saw that the Meng family was really sincere, and the daughter had made up her mind, so they agreed to the marriage in desperation. Soon, the news that Meng Dabao was going to get married reached the ears of his friends¡ª ¡­ In November, when Gu Qingning heard the news, she had just entered her sophomore year. This year is the millennium, Gu Qingning is nineteen, and she will be twenty in a few months. She didn''t expect that when she was still in school, Meng Dabao was about to get married at the same age as her~! But thinking that Meng Dabao started working early, so the marriage will follow earlier. A good friend is getting married, so of course Gu Qingning will prepare a gift. She has made a lot of money trading in stocks this year, so she is not stingy in giving gifts. In today''s era when gifts between friends are usually up to two or three hundred yuan, Gu Qingning directly wrapped a five hundred yuan red envelope for Meng Dabao. In addition, she paid out of her own pocket and gave Meng Dabao''s prospective daughter-in-law a set of custom-made wedding dresses as a friend''s wedding gift. Meng Dabao''s wedding is scheduled for next month, because Lan Juncheng is far away in a foreign country and can''t come back, so he can''t attend Meng Dabao''s wedding. But even if Lan Juncheng does not come back, his gift will not be missing. Although Lan Juncheng is still in school, he doesn''t worry about running out of money. Lan Dazhuang is the only son, and his monthly living expenses are very generous. After living abroad for a year, Lan Juncheng didn''t waste money just because he had money, so he saved a lot of living expenses. Cousin Qingning gave Meng Dabao five hundred red envelopes, and Lan Juncheng also gave the same five hundred. On the day of Meng Dabao''s wedding, Lan Juncheng''s red envelope was handed over by Gu Qingning. ¡­ In mid-December, a couple of days in the lunar calendar that are suitable for marriage, the Meng family held a happy event. Although the Gu family has friendship with the older generation of the Meng family, when Xiaobai and Lan Shu got married, the Meng family came to accompany the ceremony. After Meng Heng got married, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang also asked their sons to come on their behalf and present the gifts to the Meng family. But further down the marriage of the juniors, since the relationship between the two families is not too close, there is no need to walk around with each other. So neither Lan Shu nor Xiao Bai was present when Meng Dabao got married. Instead, it was their daughter who, as Meng Dabao''s friend, went to the wedding. The wedding started early in the morning and ended in the afternoon. After Gu Qingning attended the wedding, when she came back, she was obviously very angry! Lan Shu is not busy today, so she didn''t go out, but Xiao Bai was not at home because of something. Seeing her daughter''s expression, Lan Shu, a mother, couldn''t understand it. "Why are you so upset about participating in a happy event like a friend''s wedding?" Lan Shu was very concerned about her daughter''s mood. When asked by her mother, Gu Qingning didn''t hide it, and immediately told the situation of today''s wedding¡ª It was also at this time that Lan Shu knew that when Meng Dabao got married today, when Meng Dabao got married, Lan Xinya also went there! The members of the Meng family would definitely not tell Lan Xinya about their grandson¡¯s marriage, but Lan Xinya married into the Meng family and lived in the compound for several years. Of course, she has someone she knows in the compound. Meng Dabao is getting married. How could her own mother not know about such a big event? So Lan Xinya came here uninvited as her own mother, and suddenly appeared at the wedding without saying anything, and even asked the bride to kowtow to her and serve tea to her. (end of this chapter) Chapter 526: learning result Chapter 526 Learning Outcomes The two elders of the Meng family do not agree that Lan Xinya, the former daughter-in-law who has left their family, should sit in the position that should belong to their current daughter-in-law at the grandson''s wedding. Meng Heng also didn''t want to sit with Lan Xinya and accept the tea offer from his son and daughter-in-law. That''s disrespectful and unfair to his current wife. Since Lan Xinya has come, he will not drive people away on this festive day, after all, Lan Xinya is indeed his son''s biological mother. So after Meng Heng had to give in, he said that his son and daughter-in-law could serve tea to Lan Xinya, but after offering tea to him and Sun Yuan, Lan Xinya would go on stage alone to accept tea from the new couple. This is actually the best solution, but Lan Xinya disagrees! She just deliberately wanted to overwhelm Sun Yuan and make Sun Yuan unhappy! When Lan Xinya was about to make a big mess, Sun Yuan had no choice but to wrong herself, saying that it was okay if she didn''t come on stage to receive the cup of tea from her daughter-in-law. Sun Yuan was willing to back down, but Meng Heng didn''t want her daughter-in-law to be wronged. So Meng Heng no longer entangled with Lan Xinya, and wanted to drive her away. In the end, it is conceivable that there must have been farce at this wedding. Although Meng Dabao''s marriage went to the final ceremony, the Meng family was ashamed in front of the guests. As Meng Dabao''s friend, Gu Qingning once again felt unfortunate for Meng Dabao because Meng Dabao had such a biological mother. After talking about her unhappiness, Gu Qingning suddenly fell into her mother''s arms. She hugged her mother''s waist and said from the bottom of her heart, "Mom, it''s great to have a mother like you~!" Lan Shu could feel the rich inner emotions behind her daughter''s words. She patted her daughter''s back lightly, and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Mom doesn''t have much experience as a mother, but I will try my best to be a good mother. If I can make you like it, my mother is very happy." The mother and daughter hugged each other for a long time, until Gu Zerui finished his afternoon nap and walked down the stairs. When Gu Qingning heard her brother''s voice, she felt embarrassed and let go of her mother. Gu Zerui didn''t know what happened downstairs, but since he hugged his mother when he saw his sister, he must also hug her, that''s only fair! Here, Rarity had just thrown herself into her mother''s arms, when outside the door, Xiaobai came back from work. Seeing that his son is ten years old and still tired of being around his wife, Xiao Bai suddenly feels delicious. So Rarity, who just woke up, was taken out by her father to train her body. Before dinner, he skipped a thousand times solidly, did a hundred push-ups, and played basketball for a while before giving up. Ten-year-old Gu Zerui could tell that something was wrong no matter how nervous he was. Rarity: ¡­ Elder sister can hug mother, but he can''t. o(¨i©n¨i)o... ¡­ One month after Meng Dabao got married, and the end of the new year was approaching, Lan Juncheng''s school was on holiday. On the second day of the holiday, he flew back from abroad immediately¡ª Having not been home for several months, Lan Juncheng missed his family very much. After he came back, he had a good rest at home for a day, and ate the meal cooked by his mother after a long absence, and saw his mother rushing back from Tianshui Village to meet him. Lan Juncheng suddenly understood what the warmth of home is. Two days later, after he finished his jet lag and had enough rest, he went out to his cousin''s house to meet his cousin, cousin, and his aunt and uncle''s family. Gu Qingning hasn''t seen her cousin for a long time. The first time she came back, she took him to her piano room and asked him to play the piano for her. She would like to see the results of her cousin''s study at a foreign conservatory in the past few months. Of course Lan Juncheng understood what his cousin was thinking, so he took a deep breath, pulled out his best form, and played a piece that he was quite sure about. After the guidance of famous teachers and professional learning, the result is different! As Gu Qingning listened to her cousin''s playing, she gradually realized that the level of piano performance between herself and her cousin was slowly increasing. At the next international piano competition, I will no longer be my cousin''s opponent. She wished her cousin to make persistent efforts and win the award in the youth group. As for herself... At this moment, Gu Qingning has completely given up the idea of ??participating in the international piano competition again. After Lan Juncheng played the piano for his cousin, he didn''t forget to ask her about his evaluation of the piece. After receiving Gu Qingning''s positive affirmation, Lan Juncheng heaved a sigh of relief, and he had a solid understanding of his studies in foreign conservatories in the past few months. Later, Lan Juncheng brought up the matter of Meng Dabao''s marriage. "Cousin, are you busy tomorrow? If not, how about we go and see Meng Dabao?" Lan Juncheng hasn''t seen his little friend for a while, and he wants to see if Meng Dabao has changed after getting married. And he also wanted to see what Meng Dabao''s daughter-in-law looked like, so that he could get to know her better. He and Meng Dabao grew up together since they were young, so of course they need to move around more in this kind of relationship. Gu Qingning has no objection to this, she nodded, "Then let''s go to Dabao at noon tomorrow, and Dabao''s work will be delayed at other times." Meng Dabao''s job was obtained by Gu Qingning asking her mother, so she knew where Meng Dabao''s current construction site was, so she could bring her cousin there tomorrow. Lan Juncheng nodded when he heard that, and then stayed at his cousin''s house for dinner before going home. ¡­ At noon the next day, Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning got on their bicycles and went to the construction site where Meng Dabao was working together. Meng Dabao doesn''t bring a pager with him when he''s working, but he always has to eat at noon. The meals on the construction site are all big pots of rice, Gu Qingning directly took his cousin to the place where the workers eat, and waited for Meng Dabao to come over after finishing his work. Meng Dabao has recently changed from moving bricks to building walls with cement, which is a little easier than before. After finishing his morning work, Meng Dabao hurried to the water pipe on the construction site to wash his hands before going to eat. As a result, when he got to the eating place, he saw Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng who were clean and clean, they were obviously waiting for him. Before he changed his job, Meng Dabao might still feel that his work was too embarrassing to be seen by his friends. He made so little money every month that he didn''t deserve to be friends with Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng at all. But now it is different. He knew that Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng didn''t dislike their work at all, and that Meng Dabao now has a wife who agrees with his work, so he felt that there was nothing shameful about earning money based on his ability. So Meng Dabao walked towards his friend generously. "When did Junjun come back?" Meng Dabao asked. He knew about Lan Juncheng''s study abroad. He hadn''t seen his friend for a long time, so Meng Dabao greeted him immediately. (end of this chapter) Chapter 527: dont want to get in trouble Chapter 527 Don''t want to cause trouble Meng Dabao called Lan Juncheng the same as Junjun when he was a child. Lan Juncheng is used to this. "I''ve only been back for two days." Lan Juncheng said, and then suggested, "Dabao, let''s have a meal together~" Of course Meng Dabao would like to have dinner with his friends, but he was still working on the construction site just now, and he was so dirty that he would be disgusted by any restaurant he went to for dinner. So he made an appointment with Lan Juncheng to have dinner together in the evening. Lan Juncheng nodded, "Remember to bring your wife with you, let''s get to know each other." Of course Meng Dabao agrees! He also wanted to introduce his daughter-in-law to his friends. ¡­ In the evening, after getting off work, Meng Dabao first went home to take a shower, and then he and his wife went to dinner at the place they had made an appointment with friends. This meal was a treat for Lan Juncheng. Sitting at the same table were Lan Juncheng, Gu Qingning, Meng Dabao and Meng Dabao''s wife Zhou Lan, a total of four people. Zhou Lan is just 20 years old this year, she is a few months older than Meng Dabao, and now she has found a job as a teller in a shopping mall, doing sales. Zhou Lan''s appearance is not very beautiful, but she is also a pretty girl. And she has long fluttering hair, which adds a bit of beauty to her original five-point appearance. In Lan Juncheng''s view, Meng Dabao was lucky to marry a wife like Zhou Lan. Four people ordered six dishes and two soups, and everyone ate very happily. Zhou Lan had known for a long time that Gu Qingning and Meng Dabao were young children, and that the other was studying abroad. Now she finally met Lan Juncheng, who Meng Dabao often mentioned, and it was as expected, as Dabao said, that the other party was very good. But even though Lan Juncheng is excellent, in Zhou Lan''s heart, the man she married is not bad. Meng Dabao has the loyalty and kindness that many men do not have. Just for this point, Meng Dabao is a man who can live a good life with her. After the meal, the four of them were not in a hurry to go home individually, but walked around the street together. This year is the millennium, the first New Year after the millennium, it is very important, so before the official New Year''s day, many road sections have already set up lanterns, and there are many vendors selling on the street, night market. Very large. The four of them were shopping, and Lan Juncheng saw a snack that his cousin liked to eat, so he didn''t forget to buy one for her. Of course, before buying, he would also ask Meng Dabao''s daughter-in-law Zhou Lan if she wanted it, and if she wanted it, he would buy an extra copy. As for Lan Juncheng himself, he has inherited his father''s temperament a little bit, he is a bit machismo, he feels that a man is a bit embarrassed to eat snacks in the street, so he is only in charge of buying, but not eating by himself. This night, the four of them played until after nine o''clock and almost ten o''clock before they separated. Following Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan back home together, Lan Juncheng also sent his cousin to the door of his house to rest assured. Seeing Lan Juncheng''s thoughtful look, Gu Qingning couldn''t help but ask, "Lan Juncheng, where did you learn this routine? Could it be that you were dating abroad?" It''s not without any basis for Gu Qingning to say this, at least her cousin didn''t have such a considerate girl before going abroad. She didn''t believe that his cousin had been abroad for a few months, so what could have happened, that he had changed so much? When Cousin Qingning asked about this, Lan Juncheng felt a little embarrassed. Seeing him shy and silent, Gu Qingning knew that he must have guessed right! She didn''t expect that in the first year of high school, her cousin had already decided not to fall in love, but to study hard, but when he went abroad, he immediately changed his mind. But Gu Qingning still didn''t expect that the result of the matter was different from what she thought. Faced with his cousin''s guess, Lan Juncheng confessed without any hesitation. However, his situation is not that he will take care of girls when he is in a relationship, but that there are girls who take care of him like this. Gu Qingning: ... She couldn''t help but take a serious look at her cousin in front of her again. Her cousin Lan Juncheng is eighteen years old this year. He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very masculine. Such boys are indeed very attractive to girls, so the situation of being pursued by girls and being taken care of by girls...isn''t it sudden? It''s just that Gu Qingning wants to know... "What do you think about being taken care of by a girl?" This is critical. Lan Juncheng said hesitantly, "She is also a student of music department, one class higher than me, three years older than me, and she learned the violin." "She is of Chinese descent, and almost all of our colleges are foreign students. Her skin color makes me feel kind, so we got to know each other quickly." "At the beginning, I didn''t think about anything between me and her, just treat her like a sister, but she doesn''t seem to be my brother to me..." Hearing what his cousin said, Gu Qingning understood. At the current stage of the relationship, women are chasing men, and my cousin has not yet reached the point of enlightenment? but¡­ "If you don''t like it, you should tell her as soon as possible, don''t let the girl throw herself into the relationship for nothing, and it will end in vain." Gu Qingning explained to his cousin. Lan Juncheng always listened to his cousin very much. He thought for a while, and his cousin was indeed right, so he nodded and said, "I see." After the two finished talking, Gu Qingning waved to his cousin before walking into the house. Gu Qingning didn''t intend to tell the family about his cousin being chased by a girl abroad. There will always be some common secrets between young people. Moreover, it is not certain whether the relationship between the cousin and the girl will be successful. At this stage, even if the family members know about it, it doesn''t make any sense. ¡­ Chinese New Year, because it is the first New Year after the millennium, and this year is more lively than last year. Lan Dazhuang must spend the New Year with his wife and children in Kyoto. Lan Sibo and Yu Xia also settled in Kyoto, not far from his elder brother and younger sister''s home. The second son of the Lan family, Lan Xiuming, also brought his wife Tian Na and son Lan Haoran to Kyoto this year. This is not the first time for the three of them to come to Kyoto for the New Year. But the last time I came here, Lan Haoran was still young. This time, the fourteen-year-old Lan Haoran is already half a child, and he can have common topics with his cousins. Except for the three brothers of the Lan family, the old couple of the Lan family did not come. Years ago, Lan Dazhuang asked his parents to go to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, but Lan Shengli refused. From Lan Shengli''s point of view, Chinese New Year is all about that, and he doesn''t want to cause trouble for his children. Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter if he goes to the capital, the key is that his wife has conflicts with the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law. Shushu also alienated his wife because of arranging work for his wife''s family. So in order to avoid his wife going and making his daughter and daughter-in-law feel uncomfortable, he will not go to Kyoto. In this way, there is no reason for his wife to go to Kyoto alone to celebrate the New Year with his children. Chang Chunfang disagreed with Lan Shengli''s decision! (end of this chapter) Chapter 528: cant get there Chapter 528 Can''t get there Chang Chunfang returned to Tianshui Village from Linjiang City a few days ago, and the focus was on celebrating the New Year with her children. She looked at her wife, feeling very angry. "Don''t you think about how many years we haven''t gotten together with our children to celebrate the New Year? The son has called, why don''t you go?" Chang Chunfang really wanted to take this opportunity to restore her relationship with Shushu. She felt that it had been so long since arranging work for her nephew and nephew son-in-law, so her daughter shouldn''t mind that much, right? Chang Chunfang thought about something good, but her wife said, ¡®I won¡¯t go to Kyoto for the New Year. ¡¯ directly interrupted her plan. If things go on like this, Chang Chunfang doesn''t know when she will be able to repair her relationship with her daughter! She actually thought that if her husband didn''t go to Kyoto, she would go by herself. But before she could talk about it, the eldest son and the second son had already set off for Kyoto, leaving no chance for her to say they wanted to go together. As an elder, she was embarrassed that her son and daughter didn''t call, so she left her wife and went to Kyoto alone. That would make the children feel that she is too rushed. Although she is old, she still needs face, so let¡¯s forget this year, and tell her sons in advance next year that she will go to Kyoto for the New Year. ¡­ Kyoto, New Year''s Eve. Although Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang were not there, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan came to their daughter''s house. Lan Shu specially asked the driver to pick up her parents, and everyone had dinner together at noon. Lan Weicheng is the cousin of the three brothers of the Lan family. The relatives have met each other several times before, so everyone is familiar with each other. At noon, the three brothers from the Lan family brought their wives and children to the younger sister¡¯s house. The children were playing snowball fights and making snowmen in the yard, while the adults were drinking tea and chatting in the house. As for the person who cooks lunch, it is a professional chef that Lan Shu invited from outside. One meal during the Chinese New Year, three times the salary, some people want to do such a job. After lunch, the family watched TV. The TV at Lan Shu''s house was newly bought a few months ago. The latest large LCD TV is more than 40 inches in size. Although the effect is not as good as the 70 or 80-inch LCD screens of later generations, it is still the best Color TV technology. According to Lan Shu''s impression, the LCD screen should actually appear two or three years later, but this world is still somewhat different from her original world after all, so it is not so sudden that the LCD screen appeared earlier. It''s like the Walkman factory, VCD factory and CD factory she invested in. Lu Wei and Qian Qing managed several factories well. Whether it was Walkmans, VCDs, DVDs, or CDs, they all appeared a little earlier than Lan Shu remembered. While the adults were watching TV, Gu Qingning and his two cousins ??and his younger brother Gu Zerui got tired of playing in the snow, so they planned to go out for a walk. The streets are very lively these days. There are lanterns along the street, and there are many street vendors near the park. In addition to games such as playing balloons and hoops in Qimucang, there are also stalls selling Chinese characters and comic books. Even though Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng are already eighteen or nineteen years old, their playfulness is still there. Especially the hoop game, which is what Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng like to play the most. Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng are not young anymore, so the two adults took their younger brothers out, and the adults felt relieved and let them go. Both of them have bicycles, and one of them brought a younger brother. It didn''t take long for them to arrive at the place where they were going to play today. Here, the four cousins ??had fun, and on the other side, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai''s house, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were tired from watching TV, so they went to the bedroom on the east wing for a short rest. In the living room, when only the brothers and sisters of the Lan family, Xiaobai, Tang Chu, Tian Na, and Yu Xia were left, Lan Xiuming said something¡ª ¡­ "In the past year, there has been a problem with the relationship between our parents. Our mother spends most of the time in Linjiang City throughout the year, living separately from my father." When Lan Xiuming said this, Lan Dazhuang took up the conversation and continued, "I spend more time in the village and usually live at home with our father. Although my father didn''t say anything, I can see that he and our mother When we are together, it is completely different from before!" "They don''t look like a couple at all, they don''t talk to each other." After Lan Dazhuang''s words, the three brothers of the Lan family fell silent. The three of them never thought that the relationship between their parents would become bad when they were getting old. "Why didn''t the two of them talk?" Lan Sibo doesn''t usually spend much time at home, so he doesn''t know the reason for the problems between his parents. When asked about this key point, Lan Dazhuang thought for a while, and then guessed, "Probably our father took care of the old man in the capital a few years ago, and our mother didn''t go to see him when she was free in Linjiang City. The two separated for a long time. Alright, are you born?" Lan Xiuming shook his head and expressed his thoughts. "I think it''s because our mother always gets close to her own daughter who used to look down on our family. Our father is unhappy, so there is a gap between the two of us." Lan Sibo knew very well that one year his mother was driven out by Lan Xinya just after the new year, and he found him after walking dozens of miles alone. At that time, his mother had no money in hand, and he still remembered clearly how she collapsed from physical and mental exhaustion. Lan Sibo never told his eldest brother or second brother about this matter, and the younger sister didn''t know about it, but his father definitely knew about it. It was his father''s idea to even ask his mother to go to his own daughter''s side to suffer, suffer, and learn lessons. So from that time on, the relationship between his parents may have been problematic, right? The four brothers and sisters fell silent after saying this. Xiao Bai, who is the son-in-law, and the daughter-in-law of the brothers are talking about this matter. They are people with different surnames, so it is not easy to intervene, so they can only listen quietly. Suddenly, Lan Dazhuang asked a question that made the hearts of the brothers and sisters of the Lan family jump. "You said, if the relationship between our parents continues like this, will we not be able to live together one day?" Lan Xiuming frowned upon hearing this, "Brother, don''t talk nonsense!" Although he also had such thoughts in his heart, he still didn''t want the result to go to that point. Lan Sibo also frowned. "Our mother should not be separated from our father." I have to say that Lan Sibo knows his **** mind very well. Based on the thinking of people in Chang Chunfang''s age, divorce is an extremely shameful thing for a woman! Even though the relationship between her and his wife is not as good as it used to be, and they often live separately in the two places, she never thought of divorcing her husband. Lan Shengli didn''t think about divorce either. It is true that the relationship between him and his wife has weakened, and they are basically living their own lives separately, but they are just like this, and they have not yet reached the step of divorce. (end of this chapter) Chapter 529: quarrel At this time, the old couple of the Lan family, who were worried by their children, were busy with their own work in the old house in Tianshui Village. Lan Shengli went to the market near the village to buy pork in the morning, and when he came back, he stopped by to pick vegetables in his greenhouse vegetable field. At noon, he cooked the rice. He steamed a pot of rice, fried two dishes and ate casually first, and it was time for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner at night. Because of preparing the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, Lan Shengli went to his own free-range chicken farm on the mountain in the afternoon to catch a chicken and clean it up. Then I started to heat up the oil, planning to make some fried goods first. It is obviously slower to fry things by one person. When the meatballs and the like are put into the pan, they must be turned in the oil pan with a large colander, trying to make the fried meatballs and crispy meat evenly heated. So at this time, Lan Shengli finally called his wife, "Chunfang, come and help me in the kitchen." Chang Chunfang is angry with her wife these days because of not being able to spend time with her children during the Chinese New Year. In addition, she usually clearly felt that her wife would not speak to her if she could not speak. At noon today, my wife cooked the meal silently by herself, and when she and my wife sat at the same dining table for dinner, they were relatively silent. Chang Chunfang is very clear that the relationship between herself and her wife is wrong, but she doesn''t know how to change the current situation. At this moment, her wife asked her to help in the kitchen. She felt that this was a good opportunity to improve the relationship between the two, so she immediately entered the kitchen. The old couple worked together to make the fried goods well, and the next step is to celebrate the New Year together. Even though there were only the two of them for the New Year''s Eve dinner, Lan Shengli still prepared a sumptuous meal. During dinner, he said to Chang Chunfang nicely, "Chunfang, if you don''t want to stay in the village after the next year, you can live in the city, it''s okay." Although before he said this, his wife had lived in the city most of the time and rarely returned to the village. But he could feel that every time his wife came back, he felt a little sorry. Now that he speaks out, it can also reduce the burden on his wife''s heart. Lan Shengli felt that she was thinking of his wife, but when Chang Chunfang heard this, she stopped holding the chopsticks, and looked at Lan Shengli with incredible eyes! "It''s Chinese New Year, are you so anxious to drive me away?" Lan Shengli definitely didn''t mean that. He was also taken aback when he heard what his wife said. "Chunfang, I didn''t want to drive you away, I just thought... don''t you like living in the city?" "Then you are complaining that I always live in the city and won''t go back to the village to accompany you?!" Chang Chunfang''s tone became even more angry! Lan Shengli never imagined that he was obviously thinking of his wife, but in the end he angered him. He didn¡¯t know that men¡¯s and women¡¯s brain circuits are completely different, and he thought he was good to his wife, but in the end it caused conflicts between them about the long-term separation in two places! During Chinese New Year, the old couple had a quarrel. The next day, Chang Chunfang packed her things, left Tianshui Village, and went to Linjiang City... ¡­ Lan Dazhuang''s home in Kyoto on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Lan Dazhuang didn''t know about the quarrel between his parents until the afternoon of the first day of junior high school. Chang Chunfang set off from Tianshui Village early in the morning, and it was already noon when she arrived at the county seat and Linjiang City from the village. When she arrived at her home in the city, she felt so uncomfortable that she couldn''t even eat. Stayed alone for a long time. Afterwards, she used the landline at home to call the elder son, told the elder son about the matter, and asked the elder son to comment on her. Knowing what his mother asked him to comment on, Lan Dazhuang was speechless. What can he say? Do you want to support his mother and his father to live separately, ignoring each other? Lan Dazhuang really couldn''t speak out the words of persuasion. The son''s silence on the phone quickly made Chang Chunfang impatient. She probably guessed what her son was thinking. "Do you think I am willing to live separately from your father? It is he who is obsessed with wanting to live in the village, leaving a good house in the city, and insisting on working **** the land!" "Everyone else is going to go to high places, but he is having a good time, and he is making trouble for himself!" What Chang Chunfang said has her reasons, but her thinking does not mean that everyone should be like her. It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, not to mention that Lan Dazhuang is not a nice-talking person. Hearing his **** complaints, Lan Dazhuang immediately spoke up¡ª "Mom, you want to live in the city, and my dad wants to live in the village. Since you can''t live together, you can live separately. No matter how much you say, you can''t force my dad to do what he doesn''t want to do." Lan Dazhuang''s words are actually correct, directly pointing out the root of the conflict between the old couple. Chang Chunfang, who was choking, had a stomach full of complaints for a while, and suddenly got stuck in her throat, flustered and uncomfortable. Chang Chunfang realized that she shouldn''t have complained to her elder son who couldn''t speak well and comfort others for a long time! So Chang Chunfang hung up the phone directly! This relieved Lan Dazhuang, and he was indeed not good at comforting others. As a man, he can understand what his father thinks. If it were him, he wouldn''t dare to think of such a thing without seeing his wife for several years! He felt that if he was in the village all the time and never came to see his wife, and his wife ignored him, that was right~! ¡­ In Linjiang City, Chang Chunfang failed to get an answer from her eldest son who absolutely supported her, and she was depressed for a long time alone. At first, she wanted to talk to her second son about the situation, but she also thought that her second son went to Kyoto a few days ago and has not come back yet. She couldn''t make it clear on the phone, so she had to give up. As for her third son, Chang Chunfang didn''t expect the third son to be of one mind with her, to stand by her side and speak for her. Actually, Chang Chunfang knew in her heart that she was at fault for arguing with her wife. As a daughter-in-law, it''s not right for her not to live with her man. But she also wanted her husband to choose to live a better life like her, and she thought she was right about this! Chang Chunfang felt aggrieved, and felt a little lonely in Linjiang City alone, so she simply brought some more clothes and planned to go back to her mother''s house for a few days. She felt that it was absolutely not too much for her to arrange jobs for the juniors of her natal family and to live in her natal family. In addition, she could receive gifts from her nephew and niece''s family during the New Year''s Eve, which shows how much her mother''s family cares for her. So Chang Chunfang thinks that even if she left home decades ago, and now she returns home, there is still a place for her at home! ¡­ In Kyoto, Lan Shu only heard her eldest brother talk about the quarrel between her parents when she was in the third year of junior high school. A few days ago, the brothers and sisters were worried that their parents would not be able to survive one day, but this happened to the older Chinese New Year. Chapter 530: neglect Chapter 530 ignore In the past, Lan Shu would definitely ease the relationship between her adoptive parents and try her best to resolve the conflict between the old couple. But now, she is tired and doesn''t want to care. And she felt that her adoptive mother''s thoughts were really too selfish. She can''t stop a person who only thinks about herself, regardless of the good or bad of the other half around her. So Lan Shu listened to what Big Brother said, but didn''t respond. Second brother Lan Xiuming actually said something, after he returns to Linjiang City in a few days, he will find an opportunity to talk to his mother, so that the relationship between parents will not continue to be troubled. The three brothers of the Lan family didn''t say much about this matter. Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the four brothers and sisters made an appointment to have dinner together. The four families gathered at the home of the eldest brother of the Lan family, Lan Dazhuang, and had a lively meal. When the show was about to end, Lan Xiuming told his brother and younger sister that he was going back to Linjiang City tomorrow. This time he took his wife and son to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, so during the Chinese New Year, the relatives of his wife¡¯s natal family hadn¡¯t visited yet. He went back early so that he could have time to visit relatives¡¯ homes during the last two days of annual leave. Listening to what the second brother said, Lan Shu expressed that she could understand. Before she left her eldest brother''s house, she still didn''t forget to share a piece of the New Year''s red envelopes she had prepared with her nephews. Lan Shu sent out the red envelopes, and Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui also received red envelopes from their uncles. Although Gu Qingning is nineteen years old, in the eyes of the elders, as long as she doesn''t get married, she is still a child. So it''s really embarrassing for Gu Qingning to take this red envelope... ¡­ On the other side, in the Meng family, Meng Dabao''s daughter-in-law Zhou Lan, as a new wife who married into the family, also received red envelopes from her elders during the Chinese New Year. The elders of the Meng family were not stingy with their daughter-in-law, they just wrapped a thousand yuan in a big red envelope and sent it out! Feeling her in-laws'' love for her, Zhou Lan was a little moved. Before she came to work in Kyoto, she never thought that she would settle down in Kyoto and have a home here. And on this day that moved Zhou Lan, the Meng family also ushered in happy events! On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, during lunch, Zhou Lan suddenly had a nausea and vomiting reaction to a table of meat dishes. When the elders of the Meng family saw this situation, they looked at each other and knew that if nothing happened, their family would have children again! Meng Dabao''s grandfather immediately burst out laughing, because he knew that he would soon have a great-grandson! Why is it a great-grandson instead of a great-granddaughter? Old man Meng has confidence in his family''s genes. From the generations above him, the first child is a son! So the daughter-in-law must be pregnant with a boy. Zhou Lan is pregnant, so she must be careful when working again. Actually, Meng Dabao thought about asking his wife to quit her job and rest at home, but Zhou Lan didn''t feel ashamed to stay at home when Yue was young. Coming from a small place, she still hopes that she can earn more money. This is not only for myself, but also for my current home and future children. Because of Zhou Lan''s pregnancy, the Meng family almost focused all their attention on her daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law, so that Meng Xiaoxiao, who had received much attention at home, was ignored. Meng Xiaoxiao watched the whole family circle around her sister-in-law, and she suddenly felt left out. In the past, it was her brother who was cared for by the family, but now it is her sister-in-law. She feels that after her sister-in-law gives birth, she will no longer be cared about by her family... Meng Xiaoxiao felt very sad, she didn''t like Zhou Lan''s sister-in-law instantly¡ª The Meng family didn''t know what Meng Xiaoxiao was thinking, and Meng Dabao didn''t even know what his sister was thinking. Only Zhou Lai, as a woman, felt a little strangeness about her sister-in-law. It seems that my sister-in-law has been avoiding me since she was pregnant? But she didn''t pay much attention to it. My sister-in-law is only ten years old this year. At such a young age, what else can I think about? As a sister-in-law, all she can do is ask her sister-in-law what she likes when she has time. After the salary is paid, she will buy something for the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law will probably not avoid herself. ¡­ The annual vacation is over, and the workers are gradually returning to work. After the fifteenth day, the students also start to go to school. Nine-and-a-half-year-old Gu Zerui is in the third grade of elementary school, and school started. He soon resumed his two-point and one-line life at school and at home. Gu Qingning is a sophomore this year. During the Chinese New Year, apart from playing with her cousin and younger brother, she was not idle in the stock market either. Things are going well recently. During a winter vacation, she made thousands of dollars just in stocks! Now Gu Qingning has more than the original 23,000 in stock trading funds. Over the past year, her money has snowballed more and more, and the total is already 60,000 to 70,000. With sufficient funds and high operability, the money earned will increase. In addition to Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui, Lan Juncheng also went abroad a week ago. The start date of the Conservatory of Music is earlier than in China. This time, the parents Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu personally sent their son to school. Only when they see their son entering the school safely, can the two feel at ease. After sending his son to the Conservatory of Music, Lan Dazhuang was not in a hurry to return to China, but listened to his younger sister and took time to spend a few days abroad with his wife. Lan Dazhuang only had a junior high school education, and he could not understand the language of foreigners abroad. Fortunately, he went to college in the early Tang Dynasty and knew some English. Although Tang Chu was only learning foreign languages ??at that time, when her son Lan Juncheng was learning English a few years ago, she also picked up this language course again, so she was able to overcome the language outside. Unreasonable problem. When Lan Dazhuang and his wife were traveling abroad, Lan Xiuming had to face a lot of trouble in Linjiang City. His mother, Chang Chunfang, came back from her natal home yesterday, and she seemed a little upset, to the point that Lan Xiuming had only worked for a few days after returning, and had to ask for leave to go to his mother''s place to listen to his mother''s complaints... ¡­ Linjiang City, Lan Family, Chang Chunfang''s residence. Lan Xiuming was sitting on the sofa in the living room of the main room at home, with his mother''s aggrieved voice beside his ears. "...If it wasn''t for me, how could they find such a good job? I thought they were grateful, but I didn''t expect my two nieces to speak ill of me behind my back!" "I just went back to my mother''s house to live for a few days, and I lived in the house I lived in when I was a child. They are not happy! Although they didn''t say it, I know that they must think that I eat rice at home every day!" "The benefits they get from me, what if I only eat a few meals? I didn''t plan to live in my mother''s house for too long, they were all afraid that I would not leave~!" Chang Chunfang was indeed wronged, so she vented her feelings in front of her son. Lan Xiuming listened silently, and already had a general understanding of his mother''s recent situation at her natal home. He sighed, and he didn''t even think he was surprised by what the **** happened. When his mother took a breath and drank water, he said¡ª "Mom, have you ever thought that as long as grandpa says a word, so many things won''t happen?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 531: male classmate Lan Xiuming is a sober person. As long as the old man of the Chang family has no objection to his mother returning to his natal family, what else can the other juniors say? In the final analysis, the old man had no feelings for his mother, so he let the juniors bully him. These are clearly presented, but the **** seems to be blindfolded, and they just can''t see it. Sure enough, after hearing what the second son said, Chang Chunfang was startled¡ª After a while, she whispered, "Your grandfather is getting old..." Maybe she has already seen it, but she doesn''t want to admit it, so she chooses to deceive herself. But Lan Xiuming could feel that his mother was really sad at her mother''s house this time. That''s fine, the **** temper is typical, only after suffering, will you know how to turn around. With this incident, maybe she won''t go to her mother''s house too much in the future~! ¡­ After watching his mother, Lan Xiuming rushed back to work in the hospital. His son, Lan Haoran, has already started elementary school, and has been picked up and taken care of by Tian Na''s parents and his father-in-law. Tian Na recently transferred to the obstetrics and gynecology department, and her work became even busier. As a surgeon, Lan Xiuming couldn''t take time off either. If possible, Lan Xiuming hopes that too many trivial matters will not affect his and his wife''s work. Their job is quite special, so there is no time to waste. He only hoped that he and his wife could give full play to their abilities in the hospital to treat diseases and save lives. Instead of always dealing with family relationships and resolving family conflicts. It''s a pity that with a mother like Chang Chunfang, Lan Xiuming''s idea is destined to be impossible to realize¡ª ¡­ At the end of March, another birthday of Gu Qingning was ushered in. After this birthday, she will be nineteen years old. On her birthday, Lan Shu held a small birthday party for her daughter at home. In addition to the congratulations from relatives and elders, Gu Qingning also invited several schoolmates to her birthday party. Gu Qingning has never brought her classmates to her home before, and she never showed off her family''s wealth when she was in school, so not many people know how exaggerated her family is! Even though she wears many beautiful clothes on weekdays, this is not so special in the eyes of her classmates. Most of the students in their economics and management department are from well-to-do families. They don¡¯t have any family property to inherit, so it¡¯s useless to take this course. So in the hearts of the students, Gu Qingning has outstanding appearance and learning ability. Now the classmate who was invited to attend the birthday party came to her home, and saw her manor villa, and then realized that classmate Gu Qingning turned out to be a wealthy lady! A few of the male classmates who wanted to pursue Gu Qingning before, now seeing Gu Qingning''s family situation, no longer have such thoughts. Because they know that in a family like Gu Qingning''s, her choice of future mate selection criteria is definitely far superior to theirs! ¡ª Most boys would hesitate when they saw Gu Qingning''s family situation, but there was another person who had a different idea. Lu Xiang is Gu Qingning''s classmate. He is different from most of the boys in the class. Others have a family business to inherit and are talented in economics and management. Lu Xiang, who was born in a remote village, wants to rely on this major to come Let yourself realize the class jump, soar to the top in one fell swoop! The name Lu Xiang also indicates the family''s expectations for him, hoping that he can show flying. Because of his poor family background, Lu Xiang was despised by some students from the same department when he first entered the university. However, he proved his ability with excellent grades in various subjects, so that others dare not underestimate him. Lu Xiang did study well, and he was worse than Gu Qingning, so in school, he was able to talk to Gu Qingning, and became friends, and was invited to attend Gu Qingning''s birthday party. When Lu Xiang met Gu Qingning before, he just thought she was pretty and good at studying. If such a girl could become his girlfriend, that would be great. It''s a pity that Lu Xiang saw that Gu Qingning didn''t have any thoughts about him, so Lu Xiang just treated Gu Qingning as a friend. But now, I learned that Gu Qingning''s family background is so good! Moreover, Lu Xiang once saw an interview report of Ms. Lan Shu, a well-known female entrepreneur in China, in a newspaper, and there was a photo of Ms. Lan Shu on it. Lu Xiang saw at a glance that Gu Qingning''s mother was the female president of Langu Group! At this moment, Lu Xiang looked at Gu Qingning with eager eyes¡ª If he can change his relationship with Gu Qingning to become more than just friends, then his life can definitely achieve class promotion faster! Gu Qingning didn''t know what Lu Xiang was thinking, she just felt that at her birthday party today, Lu Xiang was extraordinarily diligent. Lu Xiang is very good at coming, and has a wink, taking care of the classmates at her table very well. Even at the table of her elders, Lu Xiang stepped forward to refill tea and water. When the birthday party was over, Lu Xiang deliberately left a little later and said happy birthday to himself again. Gu Qingning didn''t know that Lu Xiang was such a careful person before! In just one day, Gu Qingning''s impression of Lu Xiang, a classmate, was deeper than before. When Gu Qingning felt that Lu Xiang was a nice person, the Gu family, whether it was Gu Anguo or Wei Qiushuang, could tell that their granddaughter''s male classmate, Xiao Lu, had a crush on their granddaughter. Gu Anguo thought about it, his granddaughter is also nineteen years old, and she has reached the age to talk to someone. He doesn''t care about the origin of the man, as long as he treats his granddaughter well. Although Wei Qiushuang didn''t have as good an impression of Xiao Lu as her husband did, she also felt that Xiao Lu gave her a good first impression. Xiaobai saw the way his parents looked at his daughter, classmate Lu, how could he not understand what his parents thought? Xiao Bai, a father, suddenly became wary of ''Classmate Lu''! He hasn''t thought about marrying his daughter yet, but there are men thinking about his daughter? Only Lan Shu watched Lu Xiang''s performance silently the whole time, and even took the initiative to say a few words to Lu Xiang, asking him about her daughter''s situation in school. Lu Xiang can have the opportunity to talk to the female president of Langu Group, his mood can be described as excited! He felt that his proper behavior really made the elders notice him. Facing the questions Ms. Lan Shu asked him, Lu Xiang naturally exaggerated Gu Qingning''s performance in school, and he never said anything wrong. When he spoke, his tone was sincere. Although it was all praise, it was hard to hear the feeling of flattery. If you were an ordinary parent, you would definitely be proud to hear others praise your daughter so much, but Lan Shu''s eyes were calm the whole time, and she looked at her daughter, a classmate, with more meaningful eyes. Lan Shu was doing business in the mall, opened a factory, opened a company, and met too many people. How could she not hear the imperceptible traces of goodwill in Lu Xiang''s praise? Lu Xiang was showing his favor, to her, or to all his daughter''s elders. And what is his purpose for doing this, nothing more than those few answers. Lan Shu was not in a hurry to say anything, she wanted to see what her daughter, a classmate, was going to do next. Chapter 532: come home After the birthday party, Gu Qingning found that Lu Xiang''s carefulness and thoughtfulness were not only shown on his birthday. She can see Lu Xiang appearing in front of her every day, or ask her about her study progress, and tell him about his progress by the way. Or when she went to the school cafeteria for lunch, she would always see Lu Xiang waving at her, saying that he helped her line up for dinner. Lu Xiang''s actions were not concealed at all, how could Gu Qingning not see that he wanted to pursue herself? So Gu Qingning didn''t stand where Lu Xiang was helping her line up. When Lu Xiang came to talk to her, she was always polite and polite, only treating him as an ordinary classmate. Lu Xiang''s behavior fell into the eyes of other students in the class. Seeing that Gu Qingning did not respond to Lu Xiang''s overtures, some male students from good families even sneered at Lu Xiang''s ignorant behavior! Because of this, Lu Xiang was targeted, provoked, and even bullied at school. One day after school, he was beaten for no reason. Gu Qingning didn''t expect that Lu Xiang would be beaten. She didn''t know who did the beating, but she knew that Lu Xiang was beaten because of herself. So Gu Qingning felt a little sympathy for Lu Xiang. Seeing this, Lu Xiang took this opportunity to propose to Gu Qingning that he would like to see Ms. Lan Shu again if given the chance. Lu Xiang said that since he chose the Department of Economics and Management, there is a person he admires very much, which is Ms. Lan Shu. When Gu Qingning learned that Lu Xiang adored her mother, it was a lie in her heart to say that she was not proud. Seeing Lu Xiang mentioning this matter several times, and with a sincere look, Gu Qingning couldn''t stand the request of her classmates. So she went home and told her mother about it. If her mother agreed to see Lu Xiang, she would bring him home. ¡­ At home, when Lan Shu learned that her daughter wanted to bring her classmates to meet her at home, she took a surprise look at her daughter. Lan Shu knew very well that her daughter was not the type to fall in love easily, but she wanted to bring a male classmate into the house. Fortunately, Lan Shu didn''t see the slightest trace of emotion from her daughter''s eyes. But being able to persuade her daughter to act like this shows that Lu Xiang is definitely not easy! Lan Shu promised her daughter that her classmates could come to her house on weekends. Not only Lu Xiang, but my daughter can also invite other students to play at home. After Gu Qingning heard about it, she smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom." Lan Shu turned around and went back to the room to call the assistant, asking the assistant to contact the school to investigate Lu Xiang''s identity and background. The next day, a copy of Lu Xiang''s detailed information was sent to Lan Shu by the assistant¡ª ¡­ Lu Xiang, twenty years old, from Nanhuai County, Xingcheng. Lu Xiang''s family background is average, his parents had two children, and Lu Xiang was the second child at home. Lu Xiang''s eldest brother got married and divorced again, and Lu Xiang''s academic performance is good, which is the hope of the whole family, so he was able to leave the county town and study in a big city. Judging from the information in the data, Lu Xiang, who is from an ordinary family, has been very inspirational along the way. Through hard work in the future, he may be able to reach the peak. But with Lan Shu''s brief contact with Lu Xiang, she saw the burning ambition from Lu Xiang''s eyes! Although Lu Xiang concealed it better, she could still see it. Such an ambitious person would touch her daughter casually, so she, a mother, would naturally be worried. That''s why she promised her daughter to see Lu Xiang again, to find out his purpose. ¡­ On weekends, when the school was on holiday, Gu Qingning called her classmates home in the morning. The students who came this time were not as many as those invited to her birthday party, only Lu Xiang and Gu Qingning''s good friend Lin Shanshan from school. The three of them made an appointment to come over at 9:30, but Lu Xiang arrived at the door of Gu Qingning''s house earlier than the agreed time. The door opened, and Lu Xiang came down to the east wing led by the nanny. It was Gu Qingning who decided to meet in the east building of the house after thinking about it. The parents in the main villa have more activities, and the east wing is usually quieter, most of which are her practicing the piano. Not long after Lu Xiang arrived, Lin Shanshan also arrived. Gu Qingning first played a piano piece for the students, and then found some extracurricular storybooks, planning to sit on the balcony with Lin Shanshan and read in the sun to pass the time. Lu Xiang''s intention for coming here was more than that, he couldn''t bear to read the book at all. After looking at it for a while, he couldn''t help but mention, "Qingning, is your mother, Ms. Lan Shu, at home?" Gu Qingning glanced out the window, and then said, "I''m at home, but I have to wait a little longer." Based on what she knew about her mother, her mother should have woken up and had a late breakfast in the dining room on today''s weekend day off. After eating, mother will go to the yard to digest food, and then we will see each other. Hearing what Gu Qingning said, even if Lu Xiang was in a hurry to meet someone, he had to be patient. He wants to make a good impression on Gu Qingning''s elders, so he must hold his breath! ¡­ On the other side, in the dining room on the first floor of the main villa, Lan Shu was having breakfast as her daughter guessed. Usually during working hours, Lan Shu definitely gets up early. But she thinks that a rest day should look like a rest day, and she must sleep in! So it''s already ten o''clock, and she just took a few bites. After she finishes this breakfast, there is a high probability that she won''t be able to eat much at noon. But it doesn''t matter, she eats less, just make sure to eat three meals a day. After breakfast, Lan Shu came out of the house, planning to go around the yard for a while. She knew that her daughter brought her classmate to the house today, and she had already heard from the nanny during the meal that her daughter''s classmate had come, and they were on the east side of the building. Two classmates came, one male and one female, and the male student was Lu Xiang. Lan Shu didn''t take the initiative to go to her daughter. Didn''t Lu Xiang say he wanted to see her? Then she will see when and how Lu Xiang will come to her. When Lan Shu was walking in circles in the 2,000-square-meter yard of her home, Lu Xiang appeared in front of her just as she walked around. Today, Lu Xiang is wearing an ordinary black and blue suit. The 20-year-old looks like a student who has faded under the background of the clothes, like a small office worker in a company in the society. Lan Shu could probably guess that this suit should be put on in front of her after careful selection by Lu Xiang. So he wants to make himself feel that he is more mature and more reliable than other boys in school who are going to school? Afterwards, Lan Shu heard Lu Xiang speak, and said in a very excited tone, "Ms. Lan Shu, I am really honored to see you again!" In front of outsiders, most people call Lan Shu Boss Lan, Boss, and BOSS. She is only called ''Ms.'' when she attends formal occasions. And at this time when this title came from Lu Xiang''s mouth, Lan Shu could feel his solemn attitude when facing her. Of course, there is also flattery in this. Chapter 533: short-term intern Just when Lan Shu was thinking this way, she heard Lu Xiang continue to say, "Last time at classmate Qingning''s birthday party, there were so many people that I didn''t have time to talk to you." Lan Shu listened to Lu Xiang with a calm expression, and then she asked a question. "Listen to my daughter, you want to see me, now that you see me, do you have anything to say?" Lu Xiang heard this, and immediately said, "Ms. Lan Shu, my name is Lu Xiang. I''m a student of the Economics and Management Department of Peking University. I''m in the same class as Qing Ning. I''ve always regarded you as an idol!" Lan Shu smiled, "So this is a meeting between fans and idols? Well, then you have met and met, do you need me to sign your autograph?" Lan Shu could see that the other party wanted to make a good impression on her, but she had a distant attitude, and would not regard Lu Xiang as her daughter''s classmate, a junior. Since he said that he is his idol, then she will use idols to face Lu Xiang. Before Lu Xiang came, he thought that what he said would definitely impress Gu Qingning''s mother on him. At this time, the attitude of the female president of Langu Group to him was downplaying, which made him suddenly feel that he was slightly insignificant, and he was not seen by the other party at all. He knew that taking the road of "meeting idols" to get closer to the favorability would be impossible. So Lu Xiang changed his voice, "I admire you very much, I never thought you were my classmate''s mother, can I call you Aunt Lan?" Hearing this, Lan Shu immediately frowned. She doesn''t need to say anything, the frowning reaction seems to have explained a lot. Seeing this, Lu Xiang knew that what he said was not pleasant, so he immediately explained, "Of course, although you are the mother of classmate Qingning, you actually look quite young, even if you are said to be our peers, no one will Suspect." As Lu Xiang said, he considered in his heart that he couldn''t be called Auntie, so what should he call to get closer? While he was thinking, Lan Shu suddenly said on the opposite side, "Sorry, I have a meeting to hold later, if it''s okay, then I''ll go out." People are going out for a meeting, even if Lu Xiang wants to show his presence in front of Lan Shu more and make him familiar, he is not qualified to keep people. So Lu Xiang had no choice but to say thoughtfully, "Then you are busy first, and when you are free, I hope we will have a chance to meet again." Lu Xiang''s words can be said to pave the way for the meeting again later. Lan Shu listened to the other party''s clever speech, and her original steps stopped for a while. She turned her head, looked at Lu Xiang, and said with a slight smile, "Do you really want to see me? Or do you have other plans?" After Lan Shu finished speaking, she saw Lu Xiang slightly startled¡ª¡ª Before Lu Xiang came back to his senses, she had already turned and left. She didn''t care that her performance was too direct, piercing Lu Xiang''s thoughts. For this kind of person who came to her house with a purpose from the beginning, she didn''t intend to save face for him. Lan Shu didn''t like this kind of person when she first met Lu Xiang, and she didn''t want him to get close to her daughter, so her words were a warning to him. It would be better if the other party retreated in spite of the difficulties and stayed away from her daughter from now on. ¡­ After Lan Shu left home, Lu Xiang didn''t stay for too long. Although the female president of Langu Group just said it casually, he still has the feeling that he has been seen through! However, Lu Xiang has never been the kind of person who is willing to give up easily, otherwise he would not have walked from a small impoverished county town to the Department of Economics and Management of Beijing University step by step. Since he can''t win favor in front of Gu Qingning''s mother for the time being, he has no choice but to become Gu Qingning''s good friend first. Of course, it would be even better if he could further develop his relationship with Gu Qingning. So for the next few months, Lu Xiang tried his best to get closer to Gu Qingning in school. Even though Gu Qingning has made it clear that she has no intention of falling in love, Lu Xiang still acts as a friend and often appears by Gu Qingning''s side. He said to Gu Qingning, "Student Gu Qingning, I know that we should focus on learning now, so I am not pursuing you, but I just hope that our friendship can continue after graduation." Gu Qingning didn''t have any distasteful thoughts towards Lu Xiang, so seeing that Lu Xiang wasn''t entangled in feelings, she acquiesced to Lu Xiang as a friend. ¡­ Soon it will be the summer vacation, and when school starts again, Gu Qingning will be in her junior year. Lu Xiang planned to go out for an internship during the vacation, so he asked Gu Qingning if he wanted to come together. Gu Qingning has no idea of ??doing an internship, she is more keen on stock trading. And she''s far more profitable in trading stocks than in getting an internship. So for her, the internship was completely unnecessary. Seeing that Gu Qingning didn''t plan to practice with him, Lu Xiang didn''t try to persuade him. I think that Gu Qingning will have a family company to inherit in the future. She can have a job after graduation without an internship, and it is a good job! Thinking of this, Lu Xiang couldn''t help but said to Gu Qingning, "Student Gu Qingning, I plan to go to Langu Group for an interview during my summer internship." When Gu Qingning heard about it, she glanced at Lu Xiang, then thought about it, and said, "The group doesn''t seem to be recruiting summer interns." She told the truth. This answer made Lu Xiang choke and was speechless. It seems that it is not easy for him to get closer to Gu Qingning and the Langu Group. In the last summer vacation, Lu Xiang found a short-term internship job as a temporary worker in a factory. Although he majored in economics and management, it sounds like he should be suitable for a very high-end job, but in fact, he will have a certain opportunity to find a corresponding job opportunity after he graduates. He is only a sophomore now, and he is not yet qualified for a position corresponding to his major, so he can only find short-term jobs and do physical labor for internships. This summer vacation, Lan Juncheng did not come back from abroad, Meng Dabao''s daughter-in-law was about to give birth with a big belly, and Gu Qingning was thrown by her mother into a group internship in addition to stock trading. Gu Qingning did not expect that she told Lu Xiang not long ago that Langu Group does not recruit short-term interns, but in the blink of an eye she became a short-term intern who joined the group. After getting the work card, after entering the job. Gu Qingning: ... The reason why Lan Shu asked her daughter to join the group as an intern was because she felt that her daughter was not too young at the age of nineteen, so she should start and be familiar with the group''s business. It is also good that after my daughter graduates, she can directly join the group to work smoothly. Lan Shu knows what her daughter thinks, and she will take over her job in the future. She has seen her daughter''s performance, and Lan Shu believes that her daughter will be able to take over the group in the future. As for her son, let''s not say that Gu Zerui is still young, and it is too early for him to start working. Based on Lan Shu''s observation of her son, she has not seen that Rarity has the idea of ??working in the group when she grows up. And her daughter set herself as the goal as early as seven or eight years old. Chapter 534: dont think about it Half a month after Gu Qingning started working, Lu Xiang finally found something to do in his busy schedule and asked Gu Qingning, a classmate he thought he had a good relationship with, to have dinner. Of course, in order to prevent Gu Qingning from not coming, Lu Xiang also invited two other classmates who had a good time with Gu Qingning in school to join him. The four of them got together according to the agreed time, and Lu Xiang said that he was treating guests to dinner today on the grounds that he had an internship. Then at the dinner table, while chatting with several people, Lu Xiang learned that Gu Qingning also had an internship now, and it turned out to be the short-term intern that she said earlier that the Langu Group did not recruit! When Lu Xiang heard about Gu Qingning''s internship, he was suddenly a little angry! He felt that Gu Qingning had lied to him, otherwise he would have gone to the Blue Gu Group for an interview. But the anger in his heart came and went quickly. He kept explaining to himself in his heart, telling himself that perhaps Gu Qingning was not lying, Lan Gu Group did not recruit short-term interns, it was because Gu Qingning went through the back door to enter Lan Gu Group for internship. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be so! Perhaps only this answer can make his heart not too unbalanced. So next, Lu Xiang''s chat direction was on the daily content of student Gu Qingning''s internship work in Langu Group. Lu Xiang has not really stepped into the workplace, and has never stepped into a large company. He is wondering what the working conditions in such a large company are like? Seeing Lu Xiang asking sincerely and humbly asking for advice, Gu Qingning did not hesitate to share. ¡°I clock in at 8:30 every morning, and then follow the vice president to hold meetings in various departments. Sometimes there are three or four meetings a day.¡± Hearing Gu Qingning''s answer, Lu Xiang tried to ask, "Is your short-term internship job as an assistant to the vice president?" "No." Gu Qingning shook her head. "I want to follow the itinerary of the vice president of the group to understand the situation of each department of the group." Her words were in the ears of Lu Xiang and the other two students. This was not an internship at all, but was getting familiar with the internal work of the group and preparing for taking over the group in the future! Lu Xiang used to only know that Gu Qingning was the daughter of the big boss of Langu Group, but now it seems that her mother is planning to hand over the group to Gu Qingning to take care of it? It is hard for him to imagine that someone would let his daughter take over the business instead of passing all the property to his son later. This made Lu Xiang look at Gu Qingning even more fieryly! He believes that if anyone can marry Gu Qingning in the future, he will definitely reach the sky in one step! After the meal, Gu Qingning didn''t ask Lu Xiang to pay. She didn''t want to owe others, so she settled the bill in advance. Everyone dispersed in the afternoon, Lu Xiang offered to send Gu Qingning home, but Gu Qingning refused with a hearty smile. "No need to deliver, I came here by bicycle and I will be home soon." Gu Qingning said, waved to Lu Xiang, then boarded the bicycle and quickly disappeared in front of Lu Xiang¡ª ¡­ In early August, it was Gu Zerui''s birthday. On this day, besides eating cakes, ten-year-old Gu Zerui also received a lot of toys. In addition to those prepared by father, mother and sister, grandpa, grandma, grandpa and grandma also gave gifts. Among the many gifts, Gu Zerui''s favorite is a high-end computer given to him by his father. Based on the conditions of his family, there is absolutely no shortage of money for a computer, but before that, because of his young age, Gu Zerui was the only person in the family who did not have a computer. Usually when my sister goes to school, he will use my sister''s computer. Now he finally has his own computer too! So Gu Zerui celebrated his birthday in a hurry, went back to his room, installed the new computer, and then opened the browser to download¡ª Although Gu Zerui is only ten years old, he is already quite familiar with computer operations. When he was eight years old, he came into contact with the game developed by his father. Because he has to go to school on weekdays, Gu Zerui doesn''t play many games, but he is very interested in this game, he picks it up quickly, and plays it smoothly. Even though his level is not high, his operation skills are not bad. On weekdays, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai didn''t pay much attention to their son''s game play. This time, after seeing his son install the computer, download the game, and log in to the account, they knew how his son was playing games without their knowledge. Already have not a short time of gaming experience. Nowadays when almost all parents feel that children playing games is a waste of fun, Lan Shu thought about her son''s academic performance in the past two years. In the final exam of the fourth grade, the full score was 100. Her son also scored 99 points in mathematics, and his Chinese was not bad. He scored 96 points in the test, and two points were deducted for the composition. With such a result, Rarity likes to play games, so let''s play~! Xiao Bai is not against the fact that his son is playing games. The game itself was developed by him, and his own creation, if his son likes it, he is too happy! Xiaobai doesn''t think there is anything wrong with playing games, but can also exercise logical thinking and hand-brain coordination. My son is playing and playing, as long as he is not addicted. He believes that his son can control the relationship between games and learning. Even if Rarity is young and can''t control it, he will pay more attention later. ¡­ More than half a month later, the school started and Gu Qingning''s short-term internship in the group ended. Gu Zerui also stopped the happy game time and put more thoughts back on his studies. Before he promised his father that he would not stop studying even if he played games, otherwise his games would not be playable. So even if it is for playing games, Gu Zerui will study hard! A week after school started, Gu Qingning received a call from Meng Dabao. Meng Dabao and his wife Zhou Lan''s child was born! ¡ª Sure enough, just as Meng Dabao''s grandfather thought, his granddaughter-in-law Zhou Lan added a great-grandson to their Meng family! Zhou Lan took good care of her body during her pregnancy, and the baby weighed more than eight catties, chubby and very healthy. This relieved the fearful mood of the Meng family. Because Meng Dabao was in poor health when he was a child, and he always fell ill every now and then, they were worried that the child would also be weak. Now that he is a big fat boy, they can finally feel at ease. Gu Qingning went to visit Meng Dabao''s house the second day after Meng Dabao''s child was born. Meng Dabao, who was born in the same year, the same month, and the same day as her, has become a father, which makes Gu Qingning feel unreal. She reflected, is it really time for her to fall in love? Although she had such thoughts, Gu Qingning never thought that her love partner was Lu Xiang. She thought about the single school-age boys in her circle of friends, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn''t find any one she was willing to fall in love with. So the thought that had just arisen in her suddenly disappeared again. When it comes to falling in love, she''d better wait and see~! In short, she doesn''t think about it now... Chapter 535: blind date The third time Lan Shu met Lu Xiang was during the winter vacation. Unexpectedly, she actually saw Lu Xiang in overalls and badge in the group building where she worked. Lu Xiang naturally saw her, and walked over with a flattering smile, "Mr. Lan, I''m very glad to see you again!" Although Lan Shu was surprised, she didn''t ask Lu Xiang, ''Why are you here. '' She didn''t want to have too much communication with Lu Xiang, so she just nodded slightly to show that she heard what Lu Xiang said. Then she walked away from Lu Xiang and walked towards the elevator. Later, Lan Shu learned from her assistant that the group has recruited some interns from key universities since the second half of this year. The freshmen and sophomores are not in the scope of recruitment, only the juniors and seniors have the opportunity. Lu Xiang was one of the dozen or so interns recruited by the group during this winter vacation. Short-term interns can¡¯t do any really important work. They are basically assigned to various departments to copy documents, type on the keyboard, and do odd jobs. Lu Xiang''s job content is almost the same. But after he talked with the boss of the group who seemed to be familiar with him in the lobby on the first floor of the group, his attention in the department immediately rose! Some colleagues even asked from the sidelines what is the relationship between the new interns and their big bosses? Lu Xiang did not hide anything, he smiled and told everyone, "I am a friend of Aunt Lan''s daughter." The "Aunt Lan" almost labeled Lu Xiang as a boss-related household! At this time, the word "relationship household" is not a compliment, but it really makes other people envious! ¡­ The top floor of the building, in the CEO''s office. Lan Shu also heard gossip from the assistant below. She was a little funny, even she herself didn''t know when she became someone else''s relationship account? "Such remarks should be controlled." Lan Shu said to the assistant. The special assistant to the president at the side immediately understood what the boss meant. She walked out of the office and finished the matter not long afterward. She doesn''t need to help the boss deny the relationship between the boss and the new intern, she just needs to pass on a sentence, "Boss Lan doesn''t like the relationship between the company." As for the boss''s daughter studying directly with the vice president in the company? joke! That is the eldest lady of the group, the heir, not the same as a related household! So Lu Xiang, who had just been paid attention to and even flattered by his colleagues in the department, soon found that his colleagues around him turned cold towards him. He didn''t know the reason, and no one would bother to explain it to him. In the next few days, Lu Xiang continued to do odd jobs in the department. Because of the restrictions on the access authority of the ID card, even though Lu Xiang and Gu Qingning are in the same building as interns, they usually don''t see each other. This made Lu Xiang deeply understand the gap between high and low status! All along, he worked hard to climb up, and finally got admitted to Peking University and became a student of the Department of Economics and Management. After studying hard for more than two years, even if he enters a large company, he can only do insignificant odd jobs. But Gu Qingning started off much higher than herself because of her good background. She didn''t even have to work hard, and she was able to stand far higher than him! This made Lu Xiang wish even more that he could have a closer relationship with Gu Qingning! ¡­ While Lu Xiang was dreaming this unrealistic dream, after two months of summer vacation and the current winter internship, Gu Qingning had a relatively clear understanding of the operation of various departments of the group. Among the many departments, she pays the most attention to the film and television department. Recently, she went to the film and television department when she was free. In addition to understanding the main projects of the department, she also met many contracted artists of the company. Even if Gu Qingning doesn''t pursue stars, she has discovered that most of the familiar artists in the entire domestic entertainment industry are in her own company. This made Gu Qingning very optimistic about the prospects of the group''s film and television department! She even planned to formally join the group after she graduated, focusing on digging deeper into the film and television department. ¡­ Halfway through the winter vacation, it¡¯s the Chinese New Year. This year, Gu Qingning''s life was quite ordinary. Unlike last year when all three uncles came to the capital, she and her cousins ??also got together to play for several days. This year, they are the only family living together, and they only went to visit their grandparents and grandparents during the first and second grades of junior high school. Years later, there is still half a month of internship time. After the internship is over, Gu Qingning returns to school to continue classes. It was also at this time that Gu Qingning found out that Lu Xiang, who was also an intern in his own group during the Chinese New Year, did not return to his hometown. Lu Xiang said that his hometown is too far away from Kyoto, and it would take too much time to go back and forth. He didn''t want to delay the internship. In fact, although Lu Xiang''s family is small and there is only one elder brother, his family atmosphere is not easy, so that he doesn''t want to go home at all. He used his internship in a big company in Kyoto as an excuse, which kind of allowed him to avoid going home and face the family''s troubles. Not long after school started, it was Gu Qingning''s birthday again. Twenty years old, Lan Shu didn''t give her daughter a big treat, but after her daughter''s birthday, she took her daughter to a special banquet! ¡­ In the Kyoto Grand Hotel, the banquet was set up. The people who attended this banquet today included business giants and Z circle bigwigs, and all of them were accompanied by juniors. This time it¡¯s a banquet, it¡¯s better to say it¡¯s a big blind date banquet! Lan Shu was invited to participate, and her intention of bringing her daughter was the same as that of other people who came to the banquet, to let the juniors get to know each other. If there are people who look at each other right, they can also achieve a good relationship in the future. It was the first time for Lan Shu to bring her daughter to such a banquet. She didn''t expect to let her daughter go on a blind date so early, but Gu Anguo, a grandfather, was in a hurry. So Gu Anguo accepted a banquet invitation letter and asked Lan Shu and Xiao Bai to bring their daughter to the banquet. Before Gu Qingning came, she knew what was going on today, and she didn''t reject going on a blind date. When she saw Meng Dabao had a son last year, she thought about finding a partner. Isn¡¯t the opportunity now coming~! And meeting a group of peers at a banquet is much more free than a blind date between two people. During the entire banquet, Gu Qingning met many young talents from the capital, as well as some girls with personalities who could make friends with her. After a few weeks of weekends, Gu Qingning would get together with new friends, go out to play, go outing, and sometimes even go to the library for a day. This made Lu Xiang discover that he had asked Gu Qingning several times in a row, but was told that she already had an appointment. Who is Gu Qingning dating? Lu Xiang was a little anxious, he didn''t want to have a competitor. Because he knew that with his own conditions, he couldn''t compare to the boys he knew in Gu Qingning''s circle... Chapter 536: audition object Lu Xiang is somewhat self-aware of his own conditions, and what he is worried about will eventually happen. After getting to know each other for a period of time, Gu Qingning found out that there is a guy who can continue to get to know him better. Qin Tianyi''s family used to be in the antique business. Since his father''s generation, the family business has gradually transformed. Until his generation, the high-end star-rated restaurants opened by the family have spread all over the country, and the beef and mutton in food processing factories and pastures are exported abroad. Although the transformed business of Qin Tianyi''s family is not as good as making money on antiques, it has made the Qin family''s reputation resound throughout the domestic business circle. The current development of the Qin family, coupled with the previous background, can be said to be no worse than Lanshu and Xiaobai''s Langu Group. Two months ago, Qin Tianyi didn''t plan to go to the blind date banquet in the upper circles of Kyoto. But because he was twenty-seven years old, he was no longer young, and the elders in the family pressed him. He really had to go, so he came to the scene to deal with it. When seeing Gu Qingning, Qin Tianyi''s first impression of Gu Qingning was that she was pretty good-looking, with big and juicy eyes. At that time, I saw that Gu Qingning was not at all stage frightened on the occasion of an obvious blind date, and was even quite interested in getting to know the opposite **** of the right age. This kind of positive attitude towards the blind date made Qin Tianyi unconsciously step forward and get acquainted with Gu Qingning. From the short greeting between him and Gu Qingning, he found that Gu Qingning didn''t know that he was the quasi-heir of the Qin family. When the banquet was about to end, he asked Gu Qingning what his impression was of him. Gu Qingning answered quite bluntly, "You are quite handsome, and your height is enough. The appearance is the type I like." Such bold and direct words, without the shyness that a normal girl should have, made Qin Tianyi look at Gu Qingning differently. Later, because Gu Qingning still had to go to school, Qin Tianyi would only meet Gu Qingning on weekends. And he originally thought that the reunion between himself and Gu Qingning would be regarded as the dating stage of getting to know each other. But Qin Tianyi didn''t expect that when they met for the first time after the blind date banquet, Gu Qingning not only asked him out, but also five other people, three men and two women! These five people were all she knew at the blind date banquet. Among them, the three young people who were not as old as Gu Qingning were all in good shape. They are not less than 1.78 meters tall, well-proportioned, and average in appearance, just a little worse than themselves. It was only at this time that Qin Tianyi realized that Gu Qingning was young and on a blind date for the first time, and even played audition! And he was actually one of the four men selected by Gu Qingning¡ª When was Qin Tianyi picked on by a woman? But Gu Qingning didn''t realize that there was something wrong with her behavior of choosing a man. Qin Tianyi could see that Gu Qingning didn''t choose a man because she was the daughter of the president of Langu Group. She seems to take it for granted! So Gu Qingning actually doesn''t know anything about the relationship between men and women, she is just simply picking a suitable partner for her? With this thought in mind, Qin Tianyi''s **** competitive spirit suddenly rose when he looked at the other three men beside him! So for the next two months, he would come to see Gu Qingning every week. Gu Qingning was surrounded by four or five people sometimes, sometimes two or three. Finally, there was one time when other people couldn''t come because of something, so he and Gu Qingning were left alone. Qin Tianyi intends to take Gu Qingning to his family''s century-old antique shop. At this time, a boy with an ordinary appearance, less than 1.75 meters tall, and a student-like aura who has not yet entered the society is pushing a car. A very old bicycle appeared in front of him. Lu Xiang looked at Qin Tianyi with a solemn expression. Then he turned his attention to Gu Qingning and asked, "Student Qingning, this... is your brother?" Lu Xiang had illusions in his heart. "He''s not my brother, he''s the candidate I''m looking for." Gu Qingning replied. Lu Xiang:? ? ? WTF? Qin Tianyi:... He really wasn''t wrong, Gu Qingning didn''t have the shyness and reservedness of normal women towards men at all. And she regards herself as one of the candidates! She said so rationally, without any emotion at all, Qin Tianyi was very curious about what it would be like if Gu Qingning fell in love one day? And he found that as he got to know Gu Qingning better, he was somewhat attracted by Gu Qingning''s straightforwardness and simplicity. He thought it would be nice if he could live with Gu Qingning in the future. The two of them are a good match, and their personalities are compatible. Gu Qingning feels that her appearance meets her criteria for choosing a partner, and he also thinks that Gu Qingning is very beautiful. So at this time, Qin Tianyi took a step forward and said seriously, "I am Miss Gu Qingning''s suitor." He directly told the opposite of Gu Qingning''s classmate who was not in Gu Qingning''s mate selection criteria, so that the other party retreated. But Qin Tianyi underestimated Lu Xiang''s persistence, or how thick-skinned Lu Xiang was. "Student Gu Qingning, is someone trying to compete with me for you?" Lu Xiang said. "Student Gu Qingning, I like you!" He confessed. In Qin Tianyi''s view, confession is something that needs to be treated with caution, not just casually. At this time, Lu Xiang gave him the feeling that he was not serious enough about his feelings, and would like to speak out casually. Although Qin Tianyi said that he was pursuing Gu Qingning, he didn''t talk about liking and love. He has good feelings for Gu Qingning, and these good feelings are even far beyond the general good feelings, but he certainly hasn''t reached the level of liking and love. It''s as if Gu Qingning is just picking a suitable spouse, and doesn''t really know who he likes. He thinks that he may gradually fall in love with this special girl in the process of pursuing Gu Qingning in the future. At that time, he will follow his heart and express his thoughts on feelings, but that is not now. Originally, in Qin Tianyi''s view, the direction of him and Gu Qingning was a matter of natural development in the future, but now, Lu Xiang appeared in the middle. Qin Tianyi frowned slightly, he wasn''t sure if Gu Qingning would have other thoughts because of this male classmate who suddenly confessed to her in front of him? The next second, he heard Gu Qingning say to Lu Xiang, "Student Lu Xiang, as I said, I don''t like you." Lu Xiang is indeed not the direction in which she wants to choose a spouse. One thing Gu Qingning is very clear about is that when she faced Lu Xiang, she had no intention of falling in love at all. But when she saw Qin Tianyi, she occasionally wondered if it would be suitable for her to live with Qin Tianyi in the future. Chapter 537: underestimated feelings Chapter 537 underestimated feelings Lu Xiang was rejected face to face, feeling unwilling and disappointed. But Qin Tianyi felt that such a result was in line with Gu Qingning''s character. Although he thought so, Qin Tianyi was still relieved, thankful that this matter did not exceed his expectations. "Student Qingning, do you like him?" Lu Xiang suddenly asked in surprise, as if he would never give up until he got a definite answer. Hearing this question, Qin Tianyi frowned. Now he and Gu Qingning are in a stage of ambiguity in their relationship. The originally good relationship development was suddenly destroyed by an outsider, which made Qin Tianyi''s sensory impression of Lu Xiang drop to the lowest in an instant! Although I can''t say I hate it, it''s to the point of being annoying. So Qin Tianyi looked at Lu Xiang, and said in a cold voice, "Who Gu Qingning likes, you don''t need to worry about it. You just need to know that she doesn''t like you." After finishing speaking, Qin Tianyi didn''t want Gu Qingning to be entangled anymore, so he directly grabbed Gu Qingning''s wrist and wanted to take him away¡ª Lu Xiang still didn''t give up, and stood in front of Qin Tianyi. And his stalking behavior made Gu Qingning''s face collapse! "Lu Xiang, what are you doing?" Gu Qingning frowned. She still regarded Lu Xiang as a friend before, but now, Lu Xiang''s behavior troubles her. Although Lu Xiang could hear the displeasure in Gu Qingning''s tone, he knew that now was one of the few opportunities he could fight for himself. "Student Qingning, we have a very good relationship in school, do you really not consider me at all?" Gu Qingning was a little worried. She doesn''t like repeating the same sentence. But now, it seems that if he doesn''t make it clear, Lu Xiang doesn''t intend to give up. So she could only take a deep breath and explain clearly the gap between Lu Xiang and her own mate selection standards. "The man I''m looking for must first be obviously taller than me. Lu Xiang, if I remember correctly, you were 1.72 meters tall during the school physical examination, right? I''m only 1.69 meters tall. After graduation and work, I can wear whatever I want. A high heel is taller than you." "Let''s talk about appearance, Lu Xiang, you have been to our house and met my parents. I have lived in a family environment since I was a child, and my parents are superior in appearance, which naturally makes my vision not low, so I have no choice. I like the way you look." Speaking of this, Gu Qingning subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Qin Tianyi beside her. Qin Tianyi has a pretty face. Not to mention height, although Gu Qingning didn''t know Qin Tianyi''s exact height, but Qin Tianyi was definitely over 1.83 meters. This is the standard for her to find a partner. Sensing Gu Qingning''s gaze, Qin Tianyi understood. I don''t know since when, he was able to read Gu Qingning''s thoughts from her expression... Lu Xiang was told by Gu Qingning that he was short and ugly in front of other men. At this moment, Lu Xiang really wanted to find a hole in the ground and go down! But all of this is the result of his own search¡ª Lu Xiang felt resentful in his heart, and he clenched his back molars angrily! He doesn''t want to be short, but also wants to be handsome, but he can''t ask for it! The genes of his parents are there, and he is powerless to change... However, Gu Qingning has not finished speaking. "Student Lu Xiang, it is impossible for me to like you, so don''t tell me that you like me again in the future." "Your confession really made me feel very embarrassed, so we should stop being friends in the future, and try to talk as little as possible in school." After finishing speaking, Gu Qingning didn''t wait for Lu Xiang to react, she had already grabbed Qin Tianyi''s wrist with her backhand, and walked in the direction where Qin Tianyi was going, brushed past Lu Xiang, and left here¡ª Qin Tianyi looked at Gu Qingning''s handling of suitors, and he immediately had a clearer understanding of Gu Qingning''s emotional rationality. Although it is undeniable that Gu Qingning''s way of dealing with it is the best, but her calm tone and calm reaction are also a manifestation of the weak feelings in her heart. Even at this moment, Qin Tianyi began to suspect that when she fell in love with Gu Qingning one day, maybe she just regarded herself as a suitable mate in her heart? Qin Tianyi''s mentality has collapsed... Gu Qingning didn''t know what Qin Tianyi was thinking, she just found out that Qin Tianyi was obviously in a bad mood during the next get-together with Qin Tianyi. "If you are tired, go back and rest." She is still very understanding. Qin Tianyi shook his head, then looked at Gu Qingning. He looked serious, with fixed eyes, "Gu Qingning, am I among your candidates, am I the one with the best qualifications?" Although it sounds ridiculous to say that he is someone else''s audition candidate, but at this moment he wants to know whether he is competitive. Seeing Qin Tianyi asking about it, Gu Qingning had no intention of hiding it. She nodded, "Although you are not the tallest, you are the best-looking." Qin Tianyi:... So, he almost lost his competitiveness because of his height? Should he thank his parents for giving him a good face? Two months ago, Qin Tianyi would never have thought that one day he would examine his appearance because of a woman. Even because of his better appearance, he was glad in his heart. It''s all like this, Qin Tianyi and his suspicions that he actually underestimated his feelings for Gu Qingning. He originally thought that it might take some time before he would slowly fall in love with Gu Qingning. But now, he found that he was already unknowingly concerned about whether Gu Qingning would like him. When he hoped that Gu Qingning would like him, in fact, he already liked Gu Qingning. Qin Tianyi:... After thinking about this clearly, the way Qin Tianyi looked at Gu Qingning was different from before. "Gu Qingning, since I am the winner among your candidates, should you consider when to make me your official object?" He said that he wanted to be her boyfriend so well, no one would believe that the eldest son of the Qin family could be so humble. Qin Tianyi sighed, he didn''t want to, but he just met Gu Qingning. After listening to Qin Tianyi''s proposal, Gu Qingning really thought about it seriously. After a moment, she replied, "Then next month." "Why wait another month?" Qin Tianyi didn''t understand. When Gu Qingning is dating a man, does it need to be counted as an auspicious day? Gu Qingning answered truthfully, "I have a good appearance, and I have to inspect my character for another month." She is very rigorous in finding a partner. Qin Tianyi sighed helplessly again. All right, it seems that he will have to perform more in the future to show his character... One month later, before the arrival of the summer vacation, Qin Tianyi finally upgraded from a candidate to become Gu Qingning''s boyfriend¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 538: the date is set Qin Tianyi himself didn''t have any bad habits, so he successfully passed Gu Qingning''s inspection period. When he became Gu Qingning''s real boyfriend, Qin Tianyi even felt moved that he had finally become a regular. Qin Tianyi himself felt that he was so dazed! But the next second, he received a call from Gu Qingning, who was told that if he was free tonight, he hoped he could come to her house for dinner. Knowing that he was going to ''meet his parents'' soon, Qin Tianyi was nervous. The matter of what color and style of clothes to wear to meet Gu Qingning''s parents troubled Qin Tianyi all afternoon. In the end, he chose to wear a white suit that the famous young masters in Kyoto like to wear best, and went to the Gu family villa. But when he arrived, Qin Tianyi found out in embarrassment that he had clashed with his brother-in-law Gu Zerui! Although Gu Zerui is only eleven years old this year, he is already 1.6 meters tall. Gu Zerui, who is dressed in a small white suit, looks like a young master from a rich family. Gu Zerui has never met Qin Tianyi, but he heard that his sister''s boyfriend will come to eat at home today. So he can be sure at a glance that this man who is dressed similarly to him is his sister''s boyfriend¡ª At Gu Zerui''s age group, he is very concerned about his own clothes. Gu Zerui was very unhappy about the situation of the shirt bumping. He let out a "Huh!", then went back to the room and changed into a small black suit. And Qin Tianyi found that when he came to his girlfriend''s house for the first time, he made his brother-in-law unhappy... He didn''t know that Gu Zerui wasn''t the only one who was unhappy among the men in the Gu family today? ¡­ At noon today, Xiaobai was in the experimental building of Peking University School of Medicine. As a specially-appointed professor, he had just finished teaching several graduate students who graduated from Peking University School of Medicine this year, when he received a call from his wife, saying that his daughter had a boyfriend. ! For Xiao Bai, the fact that his daughter had a boyfriend was like a bolt from the blue! Three months ago, when his father gave him an invitation letter from a ''blind date banquet'' and asked him to take his daughter to the banquet, he was very disturbed in his heart. He hopes that his daughter can find the best match, but he is also reluctant to marry her. After the blind date banquet, although Xiaobai knew that his daughter had contacts with several school-age youths he met at the banquet, but that was the stage of mutual understanding, before he married his daughter. May be different now! Once the daughter has a boyfriend, marriage will be put on the agenda soon. Even if you won''t get married too early for the time being, the engagement banquet is definitely required. That''s why Xiaobai called his daughter and asked her to call her boyfriend home for dinner. Although Qin Tianyi has passed his daughter''s test, as a father, he is not sure that he can hand over his daughter with confidence! ¡­ In the evening, at home, Xiaobai met Qin Tianyi. Qin Tianyi is twenty-seven years old this year. As the eldest son of the famous Qin family, although Xiaobai doesn''t know much about Qin Tianyi, he also knows that there is such a person. And the person their family is more familiar with Qin Tianyi is actually Lan Shu. Qin Tianyi''s father is one of the vice presidents of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce managed by Lan Shu. As the president of the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce, Lan Shu had friendship with Qin Tianyi''s father, and also met Qin Tianyi when he was in his teens. At that time, although Qin Tianyi was still young, he was well-bred. Qin Tianyi didn''t rely entirely on his family''s wealth just because of his good background. It was Qin Tianyi''s father''s idea to transform the Qin family from antique business to catering, but Qin Tianyi''s credit is indispensable for the Qin family to gain a foothold in the catering industry. Now seeing Qin Tianyi, Lan Shu''s first impression of her daughter as her boyfriend is very good. During the meal, Lan Shu was even more satisfied with how Qin Tianyi took care of her daughter. After a meal, Lan Shu has already approved of this future son-in-law. Only Xiaobai had a dark face. Although he is reluctant to marry his daughter, it is undeniable that Qin Tianyi is indeed outstanding and worthy of his daughter! ¡­ In the next month, the elders of the Gu family and the Qin family met. With the consent of the children, the two families have already started preparing for the engagement banquet. Gu Qingning is going to be a senior at the beginning of school, and will graduate in one year. There is no rush for the wedding, it will not be too late after she graduates, but the engagement is necessary. Whether it''s Qin Tianyi''s father, Qin Jing, or Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, they have extraordinary status in the capital, and their children''s marriage is not a trivial matter. Any process is an important thing to show the face of the two families. The date of the engagement banquet was set at the end of August after discussion between the elders of both parties. When Qin Tianyi heard the news, he felt incredible! I am a good young man, and I am going to be ''locked'' to a woman? But thinking that the woman was Gu Qingning, Qin Tianyi suddenly had the idea that only when he was engaged would he feel safe. In Qin Tianyi''s heart, Gu Qingning, who has a weak relationship with her, is like a "scumbag" who may "abandon his wife and children" at any time. He feels that the process of engagement is not to "lock him up", but to have a special interest in him. Assure. After getting engaged, Gu Qingning wouldn''t easily dump herself, right? Thinking of this, Qin Tianyi sighed helplessly. I suddenly feel that I am so pitiful about gaining and losing. What''s the matter? ¡­ Although Gu Qingning''s engagement was decided during the summer vacation, some of her classmates soon found out. Gu Qingning went to the Department of Economics and Management of Peking University, and several of the students in it were from relatively famous families in Kyoto. In the circle, the news that the children of the Gu family and the Qin family were getting engaged spread early, so even some classmates knew about it. Gu Qingning is still in school, yet he is about to get engaged, which is really rare for the students. So it didn''t take long. As the news spread, many students from ordinary backgrounds in the class also heard the news. When Lu Xiang heard the news, it was less than a week before Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi got engaged. Lu Xiang has always had the idea of ??pursuing Gu Qingning and gaining the support of the forces behind Gu Qingning in order to achieve fame. He had worked **** this before, but now it seems that those efforts have completely failed. Sure enough, a woman with a strong background wants to be with a man of the same background? Lu Xiang was unwilling, and also hated his poverty. But he didn''t give up his plan. Even if they can''t catch up with Gu Qingning, there are still many female students from good families in their Department of Economics and Management. Gu Qingning''s family background is too high, he can''t reach it, but he can still try other girls whose family background is not so high. After having this idea, Lu Xiang soon stopped thinking about Gu Qingning, and instead focused on the other girls in the class. Which girl should I choose to be easily captured by myself? This is a question that requires him to think carefully. Chapter 539: dont feel inferior Chapter 539 Don''t feel inferior Last days of August. The engagement day of Gu Qingning, the daughter of the Gu family, and Qin Tianyi, the son of the Qin family, finally arrived. Both of them are big families in Kyoto. For this engagement banquet, all the important figures in the entire business district of Kyoto have come! At the grand engagement banquet, Gu Qingning wore a light blue haute couture dress, elegant and beautiful. Qin Tianyi was dressed in a white suit, looking dignified and handsome. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai looked at their daughter and the Qin family boy holding hands under the attention of many guests. Xiao Bai sighed sincerely in his heart that his daughter has really grown up. He can still remember his daughter''s white and chubby appearance when she was a child, like a soft dumpling. In a blink of an eye, my daughter has become a big girl! Beside Lan Shu, Gu Zerui also looked at his sister fixedly, but he was not so happy when he saw Brother Qin''s happy expression beside his sister. Gu Zerui has the feeling that his sister is about to be snatched away¡ª But he also knows that when his sister grows up, she will marry sooner or later, form a family with a man she likes, and live together. If Xiao Qin is someone my sister likes, then he doesn''t seem to be unhappy. And he can''t hate the person his sister likes. At the engagement banquet, Meng Dabao also brought his wife to attend. Gu Qingning is a very important friend of Meng Dabao, and of course he will not miss any happy events for his friends. It''s just that Meng Dabao felt a little inferior when he saw that the guests attending the engagement banquet were all well-dressed, rich or expensive people. I am probably Gu Qingning''s worst friend... Zhou Lan beside Meng Dabao also felt that her clothes were too plain compared to other guests. But she didn''t think she was inferior because of this. They were personally invited by the heroine at the engagement banquet. Based on this alone, their arrival is dignified and there is no need to bow down. Feeling the nervousness of her man, Zhou Lan took Meng Dabao''s hand and whispered something in Meng Dabao''s ear, "Relax, we''re here today to see a friend get engaged." Meng Dabao heard it, yes~! He came to bless his friends today. The other guests around him have nothing to do with him, so I don''t have to care about other people''s eyes at all! Soon, Meng Dabao was no longer nervous and became in a relaxed state. At this engagement banquet, the only thing that made Gu Qingning a little regretful was that her cousin Lan Juncheng was not able to come. At this time, Lan Juncheng had already started school abroad, so he could not participate. But several of Gu Qingning''s uncles were present. Lan Dazhuang has relatively free time. Lan Sibo is not busy recently, and it is easy to ask for leave. But Lan Xiuming, in order to attend the engagement banquet of his niece, he had to transfer shifts many times, accumulating a month of rest before he could come here. Now Lan Shengli who lives in Tianshui Village is also present, even though he is not Gu Qingning''s grandfather, but he treats Gu Qingning as his granddaughter. Lan Shengli is here, so naturally Chang Chunfang will also be there. Chang Chunfang had long wanted to come to Kyoto to meet her daughter and ease relations with her. During the Chinese New Year the year before last, her three sons got together in Kyoto, but because her wife didn''t go, she couldn''t meet her daughter either. Before the Chinese New Year last year, she told her second son that if she went to Kyoto again for the Chinese New Year, she would definitely tell her. But who knew that the Second Son Hospital was on duty and could not go to Kyoto. This interrupted her plan to see her daughter. Originally thought that Chang Chunfang would have a reason to see her daughter during the Chinese New Year this year. As a result, Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto ahead of schedule due to her granddaughter''s engagement. Chang Chunfang''s main purpose of coming this time was to repair her relationship with her daughter, so even though she stood at the scene of the engagement banquet, she didn''t pay much attention to Gu Qingning. It''s a pity that she wanted to talk to Lan Shu, but she couldn''t get close to her. Hundreds of guests at the scene came to congratulate Lan Shu and Xiao Bai on finding an excellent prospective son-in-law, and it was not easy for Chang Chunfang to come forward and ask Shu Shu to forgive her on this granddaughter''s great occasion. It wasn''t until the engagement banquet was over and the guests left one after another that Lan Shu and Xiao Bai could finally take a breather and rest. In the afternoon Qin Tianyi said that he would take his fianc¨¦e out shopping, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai separated from their daughter and took their son back. As for her three older brothers... The eldest brother and the third brother have a house to live in Kyoto, and the second brother is still the same as before, temporarily living in the eldest brother''s house. She doesn''t have to worry about where her adoptive parents live. Her third brother Lan Sibo said that Dad has been to the capital many times, and he has never lived with him, so he will drag his parents to live in his house. As a result, Chang Chunfang still couldn''t talk to her daughter. ¡­ In the next three days, Lan Shu left early and returned late, looking quite busy. In fact, she is not as busy as she looks. She just saw her adoptive mother''s absent-minded look on the day of her daughter''s engagement banquet, and she obviously wanted to say something to herself. What her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang could say to herself, Lan Shu could probably guess without listening. The relationship between her and her adoptive mother has weakened and cannot be repaired. So she is busy these days, she just doesn''t want to see her adoptive mother. Chang Chunfang didn''t live in Kyoto for too long. Waiting for Lan Shengli to go back to the old house that is now used by his daughter as a love rescue station, he went to his cousin''s house to have a meal as a guest, and then walked around the Kyoto area, thinking about his childhood. Then he will return to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County. He wanted to leave, and Chang Chunfang naturally had no reason to stay, so on the fourth day, the old couple boarded the train and left. Chang Chunfang was very reluctant to leave this time. When she was in the car, she couldn''t help but said to her wife, "Is it true that Shushu and I can''t go back to the past?" Lan Shengli looked at his wife like a child, and didn''t say anything. Then he heard Chang Chunfang say again, "Shushu is my daughter~~!" Lan Shengli sighed and looked at his wife seriously. "When Lan Xinya targeted Shushu, when you gave Lan Xinya money, when Lan Xinya showed up at her sons'' happy events, when you embarrass them, and when you arranged jobs for your natal relatives, what did you think? Shushu is not the only one who is our daughter." Although Lan Shengli has never said anything, he actually has a problem with his wife. He thinks that as a parent, try not to cause trouble for your children, that is good for your children. But my wife is different. When Lan Xinya was targeting Shu Shu, she wanted to keep the two daughters from having conflicts, and completely ignored Shu Shu''s feelings. When there is a happy event at the sons¡¯ home, knowing that the sons don¡¯t welcome Lan Xinya, she still calls Lan Xinya over, embarrassing the sons, just because she wants to recognize her own daughter. When Lan Xinya asked her for money, she gave it without hesitation. At that time, she even forgot how Lan Xinya despised them! Later, her natal relatives came to find a job, and she forced her daughter to arrange it, which consumed the mother-daughter relationship between her and her daughter. All of this was done step by step by her. Even if Shushu doesn''t recognize her as a mother now, she should. (end of this chapter) Chapter 540: passage of time Chapter 540 The passage of time Chang Chunfang felt aggrieved when her wife said that. "Do you think I did something wrong?" Chang Chunfang didn''t feel that she was wrong. She was kind to her own daughter at the beginning, she just cared about Xinya, and wanted to move Xinya and let her return to this family. But Chang Chunfang didn''t expect that her biological daughter was an immature child, and she is also very disappointed now. As for her arranging work for her natal relatives, she felt that Shushu should be considerate of her. After all, they are her relatives~! After the nephew and nephew and son-in-law arranged work, the juniors did come to visit me every year. Even though she was very unhappy living in her natal family during the Chinese New Year three years ago, she still has to take care of face. In the past two or three years, relatives of her natal family will still come to her house to give her gifts on New Year''s Day. Chang Chunfang wasn''t looking for that little gift, she just felt that with relatives, she wouldn''t look so lonely. Lan Shengli saw that his wife had no thoughts of introspection at all, he sighed, shook his head lightly, and said nothing more. The old couple took the train together to Linjiang Railway Station. Afterwards, Chang Chunfang lived at home in Linjiang City, and Lan Shengli didn''t even take a break, so he went directly to the bus station and took a bus back to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County. At the moment Lan Shengli left, Chang Chunfang suddenly realized that the relationship between her and her wife might not be much left... In the future, it will probably be common for the old couple to live in two places. Although Chang Chunfang didn''t want her and her husband to be husband and wife for decades, they would end up having disagreements, but she was powerless to change the result¡ª ¡­ After Chang Chunfang left the capital, Lan Shu''s ''busy'' finally stopped. Daughter''s engagement made Lan Shu suddenly feel the passage of time. It has been more than twenty years since she came to this world. I also went from nineteen years old to forty-one now. While Lan Shu was lamenting the rush of time, she and Xiao Bai could clearly feel the flow of time again! Mr. Wei is eighty-eight years old this year. Over the past few years, the old man''s body has become unwell due to old injuries from his youth, and he has been under maintenance. A few days ago, his great-granddaughter Gu Qingning got engaged. He wanted to go, but he couldn''t do it, so he could only lie down on the bed. Walking up to now, at dinner time, Xiao Bai received a **** call, saying that the old man had entered the hospital. Getting the news, Xiaobai and Lanshu glanced at the food that had just been served, and immediately rushed to the hospital without taking a bite¡ª After they arrived, after getting to know each other, the two of them knew about Grandpa''s current situation. Mr. Wei''s body was not seriously ill before, but the minor illnesses continued, which was quite tormenting. This time, his coma also came from an acute cerebral hemorrhage. Whether he can wake up again, even the doctor is not sure. There are two treatment options, immediate surgery to remove the blood clot, and conservative treatment. Considering that the old man is old, the treatment method of surgery was quickly ruled out. So whether conservative treatment can make the old man wake up is really resigned to fate. The old man''s situation is not optimistic, which caused Xiaobai''s grandmother Li Qi to be hit for a while, and fell ill¡ª Both of them were lying in the hospital. These days, Gu Anguo and Wei Qiushuang took turns guarding the bedside. Even Xiaobai put aside all the work at hand and delivered meals to the hospital three times a day. Lan Shu saw this situation, and she was powerless to deal with life, old age, sickness and death. Now what she can do is to take care of the three meals a day for Xiaobai''s grandmother and in-laws in the hospital together with Xiaobai. ¡­ Just like that, on the eighth day of the old man''s hospitalization, the old man Wei who failed to wake up stopped breathing. Wei Qiushuang was so sad that she fainted beside the bed. Although Gu Anguo is also sad, he still has a lot of things to do in the future, he can only calm down, and then properly handle the affairs of the old man. The news that Mr. Wei had gone, did not let Xiaobai''s grandmother know. Originally, Liu Qi was hit by her husband''s coma. If she knew that her old man was gone now, Gu Anguohe, Xiaobai and his son would not dare to think about what would happen next! So when Gu Anguo was dealing with his father-in-law''s funeral and Xiao Bai was helping him, Lan Shu stayed by Liu Qi''s side to calm Liu Qi''s emotions. Not long after, Wei Qiushuang, who was dizzy from crying, also woke up. Although Wei Qiushuang is sad, she also knows that now is not the time to let her be sad. She tried her best to calm down, and then she and Lan Shu stayed by her mother''s side... ¡­ Three days later, at Mr. Wei''s funeral, Liu Qi learned of her husband''s death. Although it is difficult to accept this fact, Liu Qi has actually noticed something in the chats between her daughter and grandson-in-law these few days. So when the day came, she finally accepted it. It''s just that after the old man left, Liu Qi''s condition was not good. She herself is old, and there was an old man at home before, so they can be regarded as a companion together. Now that the old man is gone and the house is empty, Liu Qi soon fell ill. Lan Shu went to the hospital again, and when she saw Grandma Xiaobai, Liu Qi''s eyes no longer had the brilliance they had before. Her energy and spirit seemed to be drained, and Lan Shu felt bad in such a state. Although she didn''t want to think badly, she had a hunch at this moment that maybe the old lady didn''t have many days left. Things developed just as she thought. Within half a month, Liu Qi was also in the hospital where the old man died, and closed his eyes forever... Gu Anguo has dealt with two funerals in just one month, and his heart is heavy. And Wei Qiushuang was even more sad. She lost her parents one after another, Wei Qiushuang was a little dazed, as if she had aged a lot in an instant! Although Wei Qiushuang was in her sixties before, she looked only in her forties because of proper maintenance. But now, after not seeing her for more than a week, when Lan Shu saw her mother-in-law again, she found that the white hair around her ear suddenly became obvious¡ª¡ª Time is not forgiving, and now she realizes it. After a few more decades, not only the old man and the old lady, but also her in-laws and parents will gradually leave. And sooner or later, she and Xiaobai will have such a day! Thinking of this, Lan Shu suddenly felt a sense of urgency¡ª Her finite life is getting less and less. Is it just a passerby when I come to this world? She wanted to leave something behind, so that she would not be in vain. Being a successful strong woman is not enough, she hopes that she can do more things for the world¡ª So next, Lan Shu was busier than before. In addition to business, she invested a lot of money in several cutting-edge domestic technology fields. Such an investment that does not count on returns is simply crazy in the eyes of others! But only Lan Shu knew the meaning of what she did. (end of this chapter) Chapter 541: Have a picture? The laboratory in the Experimental Building of Peking University School of Medicine also received funds from Lan Shu. Several old professors in the laboratory even joked that it was because of Gu Jue that his wife put the money in. But only Xiaobai himself knows, perhaps it was the recent death of her grandfather and grandmother, which hit Lan Shu in some way, which made her spend a lot of money outside recently. Xiaobai did not obstruct his daughter-in-law''s decision. It''s not because he listens to his wife in everything, but because he is very supportive of his wife''s ''sprinkling money'' outside this time. For example, the investment of millions of dollars by Peking University School of Medicine is enough to support the laboratory''s consumption of funds for new drug research and development in the next year. Other manufacturing and technological research and development are also beneficial to the nation. ¡­ Every October, during the holidays, if there is no special important thing to be busy with, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai will take their daughter and son out for a trip. This year''s situation is different. Mr. and Mrs. Wei passed away not long ago, and his parents-in-law are still in depression. Xiaobai is also sad about losing his grandfather, so the travel plan is no longer arranged. Gu Qingning only got engaged a month ago. Normally, during the holidays, she must spend more time alone with her fianc¨¦. Qin Tianyi originally planned to take his fianc¨¦e to the beach for vacation, but was rejected by Gu Qingning. Great-grandfather passed away not long ago, and Gu Qingning really couldn''t bring himself to go out for fun. But even if they didn''t go out to play, Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi didn''t lose face because of this. Qin Tianyi took Gu Qingning to the restaurant owned by his family for dinner, and introduced Gu Qingning to the manager of the restaurant with an attitude of treating Gu Qingning as the proprietress. Afterwards, he took Gu Qingning to his home, so that his fianc¨¦e and in-laws-to-be could get along and get to know each other better in advance, so that they could adapt to his family. In the last few days of the holiday, the two went to the library, just like before, and read a day of books. What Gu Qingning didn''t expect was that she also met Lu Xiang in the library. Lu Xiang, who once tried to pursue her, now has other girls around him. Gu Qingning recognized that it was a girl from the class next to them. And Qin Tianyi is also familiar with girls, "That''s the daughter of my cousin''s family. Although I don''t have much contact with her, she is still a relative." Qin Tianyi''s cousin is the manager of one of the chain restaurants run by the Qin family. Relying on his relatives, his cousin invested some money in the restaurant, and he is also a small shareholder of that restaurant. My cousin¡¯s house is in good condition. I bought a small villa in Kyoto, and I have a car for my daily trips. According to Qin Tianyi''s understanding of Lu Xiang, the conditions of his cousin''s family are absolutely beyond Lu Xiang''s reach. Now, Lu Xiang is able to live in harmony with his cousin''s daughter, and it seems that the relationship is unusual. As a relative, Qin Tianyi should tell his cousin about this situation out of reason. So he immediately took out his mobile phone and called his uncle. Knowing that his cousin was on vacation these days, Qin Tianyi understood that his cousin might be interested in Lu Xiang. Because of the relationship, Qin Tianyi said a few words to his cousin on the phone, asking him to care more about his cousin''s situation, and then hung up the phone. Gu Qingning learned the identity of the girl next to Lu Xiang, and seeing Qin Tianyi''s reaction, she understood Qin Tianyi''s worry. "Although Lu Xiang pestered me, he shouldn''t be too bad. He''s still good at studying." Gu Qingning is still young after all. Although she has become very successful in stock trading and even has a small reputation, she has not left the campus and has not entered the society. She is a bit too naive. Qin Tianyi didn''t just think that Lu Xiang was not good enough for his distant cousin because of Lu Xiang''s background. Because Lu Xiang first pursued Gu Qingning, and then pursued his cousin whose family conditions were far superior to his too many, Qin Tianyi suspected that Lu Xiang had the desire to rely on women to prosper, and it was only natural. Didn''t make Gu Qingning have to understand his thoughts, just shook his head gently, "Is it okay, I won''t judge now, I''ll see later." As he spoke, he still didn¡¯t forget to tell his fianc¨¦e, ¡°It is imperative to be on guard against others.¡± This is very important. If she can realize that in the future, whether it is making friends in life or in work or career, they will play a crucial role. ¡­ About Lu Xiang''s personality, because of Qin Tianyi''s reminder, his cousin Gao Lei paid special attention to his daughter''s affairs. Gao Lei was a little angry when he learned that his daughter had secretly had a boyfriend! Although their family is not considered to be a wealthy family, and they don¡¯t need a commercial marriage, they should be well-established to recruit a son-in-law, right~! Now there is only one only daughter in our family, so the matter of finding a partner must be treated with caution. So after learning about Lu Xiang''s situation, Gao Lei disagreed with his daughter''s continued relationship with Lu Xiang. But how could Lu Xiang let go of the rich girl he finally got along with? Accompanied by his girlfriend, Lu Xiang went to the Gao family, showing his sincerity and letting the Gao family know how much he loves their daughter. also said that if the Gao family is not at ease, he is willing to marry into their family. The words "ruizhu" really touched Gao Lei''s heart. They don¡¯t have a son to inherit the family business. In the future, their daughter will marry someone. After a hundred years, the family property will basically belong to someone else¡¯s family. But if there is a son-in-law who comes to marry him, then the Gao family will remain the Gao family in the future, and when their family has a grandson, the family property will have an heir. After thinking about it, Gao Lei finally agreed with Lu Xiang and his daughter to continue dating. Anyway, the daughter has identified this man, and Lu Xiang is willing to marry him. Such a situation is beneficial to the Gao family. The two hit it off immediately, and the marriage was quickly settled. Gao''s family and Lu Xiang''s family are different from Qin and Gu''s. They are big families, and the process of getting married after getting engaged is indispensable. Lu Xiang came from a small county, and he was married, so now that the deal is settled, he can directly enter Gao''s house. So before the new year, Gu Qingning, as Qin Tianyi''s fianc¨¦e, attended the wedding at his cousin''s house with Qin Tianyi. Seeing Lu Xiang marry Gao Lin, a female classmate in the next class, Gu Qingning was really surprised. After all, it has only been half a year since she rejected Lu Xiang, but Lu Xiang has already found another female classmate in this short period of time, and married her. Gu Qingning thinks that love is a very difficult thing to determine. Can a person really fall into the next relationship quickly after being rejected and broken up, and marry the second girl within half a year? At this moment, Gu Qingning thought of what her fianc¨¦ Qin Tianyi said at the beginning, "It is necessary to guard against others." She suddenly understood what Qin Tianyi meant. Did he think that Lu Xiang had a plan for pursuing her and being with Gao Lin? Chapter 542: Regret impulsive Gu Qingning didn''t know whether Lu Xiang was looking for the woman''s wealth or not. But now that Lu Xiang has married into the Gao family, he can be regarded as completely out of poverty. On the day that Lu Xiang and Gao Lin got married, his mother, brother and sister-in-law who lived in a small county town all came to the wedding. Although his mother disapproved of his son''s marriage, Lu Xiang was eloquent and eloquent, and quickly used the benefits of marriage and how much money he promised to give to the family''s mother and brother-in-law in the future, so that the Lu family had nothing to say about his marriage. . The marriage of Lu Xiang and Gao Lin has no impact on Gu Qingning. At best, she would have relatives with Lu Xiang after she married Qin Tianyi in the future. But her fianc¨¦ Qin Tianyi said that because the Qin family and the Gao family are distant relatives, there won''t be too many contacts. After Lu Xiang confessed to her and pestered her, Gu Qingning never had any contact with Lu Xiang in school. She doesn''t want to have any contact with Lu Xiang in the future. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, it is the Chinese New Year time. Compared with previous years, this year, there are no lively events, just a plain past. Because the old man Qianwei and his wife Liu Qi passed away a few months ago, Xiaobai took his wife, daughter, and son to the cemetery to burn paper during the Chinese New Year. Years later, Lan Shu continued to shine in her career, but Gu Qingning encountered some troubles in school. ¡­ Gao Lin is a student of the Department of Economics and Management of Peking University, one class higher than Gu Qingning, and is in the next class. Gao Lin is already a senior this year, and will graduate in a few months. Before graduation, the marriage of Gao Lin and Lu Xiang, a third-year student, was widely circulated in the school. Many students said that the relationship in school is the most sincere, and they expressed their blessings for the happiness of the two. At this time, someone mentioned that Lu Xiang liked Gu Qingning who was in his class before. Originally, this was already a thing of the past, but it happened to be heard by Gao Lin. Who Gu Qingning is, of course Gao Lin knows. That''s his distant cousin''s fianc¨¦e! Gao Lin could feel her husband Lu Xiang''s love for her, so she naturally attributed Lu Xiang''s liking to Gu Qingning to Gu Qingning''s indiscretion, seducing her man! It was also for this reason that Gao Lin couldn''t help finding Gu Qingning directly at school and asked about the relationship between Gu Qingning and her man! When Gao Lin approached her, Gu Qingning was a little confused. Gao Lin asked her to tell about her relationship with Lu Xiang... What is the relationship between her and Lu Xiangneng? Gu Qingning understood that Gao Lin was jealous, so she immediately explained, "We are just ordinary classmates." Gao Lin was not satisfied with this answer. "Did Lu Xiang like you before?!" she asked. "But what does that have to do with me?" Gu Qingning frowned, feeling that her fianc¨¦''s cousin was making trouble for no reason. Gao Lin wasn''t the kind of person who made trouble out of no reason at first, but she has been in mood swings recently, and she just can''t hear any woman having a relationship with her man. That''s why I came here to question Gu Qingning on the spur of the moment. Now Gu Qingning''s words to distance herself from her man made Gao Lin feel that Gu Qingning''s saying that her man was just wishful thinking. Gao Lin thought again that when Lu Xiang pursued her, she agreed to date him without much hesitation. So it was Gu Qingning who didn''t want Lu Xiang, and that''s why Lu Xiang came looking for him? Gao Lin''s mood got worse, and her emotions became more intense! Outside the classroom door, Lu Xiang didn''t expect that it was time for him to go to the bathroom, and Gao Lin and Gu Qingning would match up! He wanted to hold Gao Lin back, but Lu Xiang''s actions made Gao Lin feel that he still misses Gu Qingning, so he stopped himself from making trouble for Gu Qingning! Women are unreasonable under impulse, so soon, Gao Lin and Lu Xiang quarreled¡ª If it were at home instead, Lu Xiang would never talk back to Gao Lin. But it''s school! Lu Xiang is a married man, this is not a good thing to say, in front of his classmates, now he has to be beaten and scolded by his wife as a coward, that will definitely lose his dignity as a man! The result of the quarrel between the two was that Lu Xiang accidentally pushed Gao Lin. Gao Lin fell to the ground, suffering from abdominal pain, and soon blood flowed from between her legs. It was also at this time that Lu Xiang and the other students around realized that Gao Lin was pregnant! "No wonder Gao Lin''s emotions are so impulsive! My cousin was also very unstable during her pregnancy before!" "It turned out that Gao Lin was pregnant with a child, but now that her child is still alive..." Under the discussion of several female classmates around, Lu Xiang tried his best to pick up his wife and wanted to go to the hospital. But Gao Lin weighs about a hundred catties, and Lu Xiang is not a tall and muscular man, so he couldn''t carry Gao Lin within a short distance... Finally, several boys from the school helped to send Gao Lin to the hospital. After a set of examinations by the doctor, Lu Xiang was told that Gao Lin was less than two months pregnant, and the fetal image was unstable at this stage, so she must be treated with care, but because of Gao Lin''s fall, the child was gone¡ª For the Gao family, having children to carry on the family line is a big deal! Lu Xiang is just a son-in-law who came to marry him, and now he accidentally caused Gao Lin to have a miscarriage. The Gao family got the news and directly beat and scolded Lu Xiang in the hospital! Especially Gao Lin''s mother pointed at Lu Xiang''s nose angrily and said, "If Linlin hurts her body because of your miscarriage, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant in the future. Our Gao family will never end with you!" Fortunately, after a doctor''s examination, Gao Lin''s body was not too damaged because of her short pregnancy. After that, you need to take good care of yourself, so that your pregnancy will not be affected. The Gao family listened and could only follow suit. But now Gao Lin is a senior student, letting her rest at home is tantamount to ruining her path to graduation! She has studied in school for more than three years, and she is about to graduate in three months, but because of this incident, her previous efforts were in vain. How could she agree? ! Gao Lin wants to continue to go to school. Gao''s parents are worried that the family will have no children in the future, so they order her to rest at home. In the end, Gao Lin compromised with her parents and stayed at home, so she lost her chance to graduate. If this result makes Gao Lin choose again, she will definitely not trouble Gu Qingning. But she didn''t expect that Lu Xiang, who kept saying he loved her, would push her, causing her to have a miscarriage and lose her child! At this moment, Gao Lin''s love for Lu Xiang seems to have evaporated most of it in an instant! Lu Xiang also regretted this result. He was almost able to gain a foothold in Gao''s family by relying on father and son. But it''s too late for the Gao family to get angry with him! What Lu Xiang was even more worried about was that although the doctor said that Gao Lin was fine, if Gao Lin had a difficult pregnancy, then his life in the Gao family would be difficult... Chapter 543: fixed date Chapter 543 sets the date Gu Qingning heard about Gao Lin''s miscarriage from her fianc¨¦ Qin Tianyi. Speaking of this incident, Qin Tianyi sincerely apologized to Gu Qingning on behalf of Gao Lin, a distant cousin. And said that she would never let Gao Lin disturb her again. Qin Tianyi has no feelings for that cousin Gao Lin, and his fianc¨¦e is the most important thing in his heart. Gu Qingning didn''t mind Gao Lin asking her for trouble. She probably knows that when a woman is emotionally unstable during pregnancy, it is normal to be impulsive. And Gao Lin lost her child, Gu Qingning felt pity for her. If Lu Xiang hadn''t quarreled with Gao Lin in the original scene, Gao Lin wouldn''t have had a miscarriage. Gu Qingning thought of Lu Xiang''s attitude towards Gao Lin at that time, and even attacked his new wife Gao Lin, which made Gu Qingning feel that he hadn''t seen Lu Xiang''s nature clearly before. Compared to Lu Xiang, she turned to look at her fianc¨¦... Qin Tianyi is a good person, with good manners, and he is gentle when talking to himself. She didn''t know if a man would change much before and after marriage. But at least for now, Qin Tianyi''s attitude towards herself made her quite satisfied. ¡­ One month later, it was Gu Qingning''s birthday. Twenty-one years old, there is no big event at home this time, but Qin Tianyi has prepared a birthday party for her. As early as Qin Tianyi learned that his fianc¨¦e''s birthday was approaching, he began to prepare. He left a large private room of two to three hundred square meters in his star hotel, and re-arranged in the private room. Flowers, ribbons, crystals¡­ Fragrant, brilliant, romantic scene, absolutely no girl would not like it. On his birthday, Qin Tianyi didn''t invite too many people. Those who were able to come to the scene were all his mutual acquaintances with Gu Qingning, as well as Gu Qingning''s classmates at school. It was the first time that Gu Qingning felt that someone other than her family had prepared a birthday party for her. Seeing Qin Tianyi''s serious and focused eyes on her, as well as the meticulously organized birthday party, she was really moved. It seems that the relationship with Qin Tianyi has been shortened¡ª At this moment, in Gu Qingning''s heart, Qin Tianyi is no longer just her object, no longer just the person she will marry in the future, but the existence second only to her family! Qin Tianyi is seven years older than Gu Qingning. The 28-year-old Qin Tianyi has long been urged by his family to get married. Before when he had no partner, the elders of the family were worried about his marriage. After that, he had a fianc¨¦e, and the family finally felt more at ease. But after his twenty-eighth birthday, the Qin family''s marriage urging lineup rose again! Although Qin Tianyi couldn''t wait to marry his fianc¨¦e in, considering that his fianc¨¦e was still in school, he was worried that marriage would affect Gu Qingning''s studies. Besides, whether Gu Qing would rather marry him while he was still in school is another matter. He originally planned to wait for Gu Qingning to graduate before mentioning the matter of marriage. But today, probably because of the atmosphere at the scene, or because Gu Qingning looked at him too softly, Qin Tianyi couldn''t control his heart for a while, holding a bouquet in his hand, he said to Gu Qingning in public, "Let''s get married!" Gu Qingning knew long ago that she and Qin Tianyi would become a family sooner or later, but her marriage plan was also after graduation. Now that Qin Tianyi proposed it, she couldn''t bear to refuse Qin Tianyi''s serious and focused eyes. "Okay." Gu Qingning said, and nodded slightly. She has made up her mind, she is willing to marry Qin Tianyi, become a family, and live together in the future. When Qin Tianyi heard this answer, he was stunned, and then he was as happy as if a flower bloomed in his heart! Witnessed by friends and classmates who attended the birthday party, Qin Tianyi hugged Gu Qingning tightly in his arms excitedly. Although Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi had been engaged for several months, there was no overly intimate relationship between the two. This time she was hugged by Qin Tianyi, the man''s unique breath and warm chest surrounded her, making her face flush instantly! The feeling of rapid heartbeat was clearly captured by Gu Qingning at this moment. She used to think that Qin Tianyi''s height, appearance, and character were all good, and her family background matched hers. She thought Qin Tianyi was a good marriage partner, and she didn''t have to be picky. Now, Gu Qingning can feel what liking is. She was silent for a moment, then raised her arms and hugged her fianc¨¦''s waist. This man will belong to me in the future, and this feeling seems pretty good... ¡­ The marriage of Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi, after the two confirmed their good intentions, soon entered the countdown stage under the preparation of the two families. Before the end of last summer vacation, the two got engaged. The wedding day is also set in August. There is a lot of preparatory work before marriage, including the customization of wedding dresses and shoes, and preparations for dowry. But these are trivial matters to the Gu family. The only major event is that the daughter who has been raised by the family for more than 20 years will leave home and marry someone else! This made Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, the parents, a little anxious about their reluctance! Especially Xiaobai, marrying his daughter was simply unacceptable for him for a while! As a colleague who prepares the dowry for his daughter, he often cannot sleep at night. Lan Shu can understand Xiaobai''s feelings as a father. She comforted Xiaobai from the side, and Xiaobai''s anxiety gradually eased. In addition to the two, Gu Zerui learned that his sister was going to get married soon, and he couldn''t live at home every day in the future, so he was also very reluctant to part with her. So before his sister got married, he silently prepared a wedding gift for her... ¡­ The news that Gu Qingning was about to get married quickly spread among relatives and friends¡ª Learning about this, Lan Shengli came to Kyoto from Tianshui Village in advance. Gu Qingning is the first of Lan Shengli''s grandchildren to get married. Even if he is not his own grandfather, he still prepared a dowry for his granddaughter! When Lan Shengli came to Kyoto, he was not with his wife Chang Chunfang. He went directly from Tianshui Village to Linjiang City, and then took the train to Kyoto, not even going to his home in Linjiang City. In the past year, Lan Shengli and Chang Chunfang have completely separated and lived their own lives. The two of them hadn''t even been together during Chinese New Year last year. Chang Chunfang is used to living in the city. During the Chinese New Year, she waited for her husband to call her to tell her to go back, but she didn''t receive a call. In a fit of anger, she simply didn''t go back! So up to now, the relationship between her and her wife has become more and more distant! Several days after Lan Shengli arrived in Kyoto, Chang Chunfang learned that his wife was going to Kyoto first, and didn''t ask her to come with her. Chang Chunfang was unhappy about this, and complained in front of her second son~! Knowing the current relationship between his parents, Lan Xiuming just sighed helplessly. He was really worried that his parents would be at the end, and if they were separated, the two of them would not be able to live on. (end of this chapter) Chapter 544: one year old gift Chapter 544 A one-year-old gift Lan Xiuming did not hide the estrangement between his parents, so he called his eldest brother that night to talk to him. The two brothers made up their minds and planned to take advantage of this time when their niece got married, and their parents were both in the capital. Lan Dazhuang has no objection to his second brother''s thoughts. As a son, he doesn''t want his parents to have a bad relationship. But it''s really hard to say whether his efforts to match up with his second brother will be effective. Anyway, judging from how he gets along with his father at home, it doesn''t matter whether his father has his mother or not now. The old man found someone to build a large shed, and planted a vegetable field by himself. He was usually busy in the field, and climbed mountains when he was free. He lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Lan Dazhuang felt that his father no longer missed the days of living with his mother anymore. Now maybe her mother wants to reconcile with his father, but she can''t save face. ¡­ In the blink of an eye, there are still two days before Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi''s wedding. The big event between the sons and daughters of the Gu family and the Qin family shocked the entire upper class circle in Kyoto! The marriage of the two sons and daughters, the Gu and Qin families can definitely be regarded as a strong alliance! In the future, Gu and Qin will become in-laws. In the mall, no one can match the two! ¡­ Gu family, approaching the wedding, Lan Shu officially handed over a set of pure gold jewelry and headgear to her daughter. "This set of gold ornaments was specially made by your great-grandfather and great-grandmother by a skilled goldsmith. They were given to you on your first birthday, and they were said to be kept for you to wear when you grow up and get married." After Lan Shu finished speaking, she couldn''t help but sighed in her heart. The old man and the old lady''s blessing to Xiao Qingning, now Qingning has received it. It''s just an old couple but they didn''t have the chance to see Qingning get married. When Gu Qingning heard her mother''s words and looked at the gold jewelry in front of her, she also thought of her deceased great-grandfather and great-grandmother. She couldn''t help but wet her eyes, she missed the two old people... Although this set of gold ornaments has been stored for twenty years, because Lan Shu has preserved them properly, they are still as good as brand new. When Gu Qingning was trying on the wedding dress that day, she put on all the jewelry and headgear. Looking at herself in the mirror with red makeup and golden light, she thanked her great-grandfather and great-grandmother for their blessings in her heart. After getting married, she will take her husband to the tombstone of the two elders and tell them the news of her marriage. ¡­ Two days later, Gu Qingning appeared at the wedding in full dress, becoming the most beautiful bride and receiving everyone''s attention! Qin Tianyi held his wife''s hand, and the two walked onto the stage of the wedding scene step by step. The two looked at each other and swore an oath. With the blessings of family and friends, they tied the knot¡ª ¡­ One month later, two happy events happened at Lan''s house in Tianshui Village. Yu Xia, the wife of the third son of the Lan family, Lan Sibo, is pregnant with a child! Neither Lan Sibo nor Yu Xia had the idea of ??having a child before, so they procrastinated again and again. When they were in their thirties, or even in their forties, the two of them lived together. But when Lan Sibo turned 40, he suddenly felt that there were only him and his wife in the house. Was it a bit lonely? He told his wife this idea, and Yu Xia also thought about whether to have a child for a long time. Yu Xia''s main worry is, now that they are older, will it be too late to have a baby? So the two of them didn''t insist on whether or not they wanted a child, but planned to let nature take its course. So when Lan Sibo was forty-three years old, his wife who was about to forty was pregnant! The two plan to give birth to this child, so they began to actively check up on the birth and prepare for the arrival of the child¡ª ¡­ In addition to Lan Sibo who is about to become a father, Lan Juncheng, the eldest grandson of the Lan family, returned from studying abroad and successfully graduated. Lan Juncheng went abroad to the Conservatory of Music when he was less than seventeen years old. Back then his cousin Gu Qingning was just in her third year of high school. Because he went to college a year earlier, even if he was younger, he graduated a year earlier than his cousin. When Gu Qingning was just entering his senior year, Lan Juncheng had already received his graduation certificate. He returned to China this time, in addition to bringing back the good news of graduation, he also brought a girlfriend. Lan Juncheng''s girlfriend is a Chinese senior whom he met when he was in school. It is the girl who took good care of him and learned the violin that he and his cousin Gu Qingning mentioned back then. The girl''s name was Qiao Qian, and she was two years older than Lan Juncheng. Like Lan Juncheng, she was specially recruited to enter the Conservatory of Music in advance. She also graduated a year earlier than Lan Juncheng, and now she has entered a well-known foreign orchestra and became the violinist in the orchestra. The Lan family may not understand this job, but according to Lan Juncheng, getting into that band is much more difficult than becoming a starlet in China! And Lan Juncheng plans to join the orchestra like his girlfriend, and together they will show their talents in the music circle they love and achieve the achievements they expect. After Lan Shengli and Lan Dazhuang learned about their grandson Lan Juncheng''s thoughts, they saw Qiao Qian, a Chinese girl brought back from abroad by Lan Juncheng. Although they didn''t know much about music, they could see the relationship between Junjun and the girl. good relationship. It¡¯s all like this, can they still say they don¡¯t agree? Lan Dazhuang welcomed his son''s girlfriend Josie, and then he understood one thing in his heart¡ª His son, I am afraid that he will spend a lot of time abroad in the future, and he will not be able to stay with him and his wife... After Tang Chu learned about Junjun''s choice, she was silent for a day, and finally agreed to the relationship between Junjun and Qiao Qian. Although Tang Chu was reluctant to let her son live in a foreign country, she also knew that Junjun''s talent on the piano was rare. Nowadays, the music stage in China cannot satisfy Junjun to display his musical talent. That''s why Junjun wants to choose a bigger stage to show himself. She is willing to suppress her longing for her son and fulfill her son''s ideal! ¡­ Lan Juncheng stayed in China for a month before going abroad with his girlfriend Qiao Qian. Before leaving, Lan Dazhuang gave his son a bank card with a large amount of money in it. Lan Dazhuang explained, "Since you have decided to live abroad for a long time in the future, you must have a place to live. The money should be enough for you to buy a house abroad. If it is not enough, you can call home." Lan Dazhuang didn''t know how much the house price was abroad, so he saved a million dollars in his card! He thinks the money can buy a house in Kyoto, so buying a house abroad should be enough, right? Lan Jun did not intend to accept the money from his father at all, he wanted to rely on his own ability to make money to buy a house. But Lan Dazhuang disagreed! "I''m just your son, the money in the family will be yours in the future, you don''t need to suffer at all." "Besides, it''s only one million. The money your dad has earned in the past twenty years is definitely beyond your imagination. This amount of money is nothing at all~!" Lan Dazhuang spoke with confidence! (end of this chapter) Chapter 545: clean Chapter 545 Clean Lan Dazhuang is now only in the business of a juice factory, with an annual income and profit of more than one million, not to mention there are free-range chicken farms all over the mountain. Although Lan Juncheng had always known that his family''s conditions were not bad, it was only at this time that he clearly understood that his father, who spent most of his time in Tianshui Village, and his mother, who was a small clerk in the capital, had a lot of money in their hands. How great is the wealth! Under the insistence of his parents, Lan Juncheng finally accepted the bank card. He plans to use the money to buy a house according to what his parents said. In addition to being able to have a place to live in a foreign country, I can also give my girlfriend Josie a relatively stable life. A few days later, Lan Juncheng left Tianshui Village and flew abroad. As for the Lan family, Lan Dazhuang continued to make money, Lan Xiuming was busy at the hospital, and Lan Sibo showed his enthusiasm for raising pigs in the past, and took meticulous care of his daughter-in-law. Now that Lan Sibo is in his forties, his wife is pregnant, so he can be considered a child of old age. Thinking that he will have a child in a few months, Lan Sibo''s mood is filled with joy~! ¡­ Kyoto, in the blink of an eye, Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi have been married for a month. Because Gu Qingning is a student, there is no marriage leave. Even if she is married, she will go back to school immediately after the summer vacation. So apart from marrying and living with Qin Tianyi, her situation is the same as before. Although Qin Tianyi regretted not being able to spend the honeymoon with his wife, but thinking that they still had time during the winter vacation, he arranged the honeymoon during the winter vacation. In school, the news that Gu Qingning got married during college was also heard by many students. Among them, Lu Xiang saw with his own eyes that Gu Qingning, covered in golden light, walked onto the wedding stage with Qin Tianyi holding hands. In the past, Lu Xiang was definitely not qualified to attend the wedding of the Qin and Gu families. But as the son-in-law of the Gao family, he is also related to the Qin family. But the more relatives are, the more inevitable comparisons will be. During this period of time, Gao Lin, who dropped out of school to stay at home in order to maintain her health, simply belittled him to nothing! The gentle daughter-in-law who loved and cared for him in the past, after being miscarried by him, her whole temperament changed drastically! When Gao Lin saw him every day, she either lost her temper or scolded him in various ways. Lu Xiang''s original affection for Gao Lin was mostly based on Gao Lin''s background, but now Gao Lin''s unvirtuous feelings made him less and less fond of Gao Lin, and basically wiped it out! Even so, he cannot divorce Gao Lin. Because he knew that once he left the Gao family, he would be nothing. Now using the connections of Gao''s family, his career will have a bright future after graduation. But apart from the Gao family, Lu Xiang also found other options for himself. For example, these days, he took advantage of his status as the son-in-law of the Gao family to be considered distant relatives with Gu Qingning who married into the Qin family. In school, he tried his best to build a good relationship with Gu Qingning. After all, compared to the Gu family behind Gu Qingning and the Qin family she married into, the Gao family is nothing worth mentioning! If he can get Gu Qingning''s friendship, then the Gao family is nothing to him! ¡­ Lu Xiang''s flattery to Gu Qingning at school, in Gu Qingning''s view, almost constituted harassment. She has made it very clear to Lu Xiang that she doesn''t want to have any contact with Lu Xiang in the future. But Lu Xiang didn''t seem to hear it, and he would still move closer to her from time to time. Regarding this matter, Gu Qingning had a deep insight into how thick a person''s skin can be. She''s really not good at handling things like that, but she knows who can handle this. So she directly told her husband Qin Tianyi about Lu Xiang''s situation at school. When Qin Tianyi heard that Lu Xiang harassed his little wife, of course he couldn''t bear it! He has always acted vigorously and resolutely. In just two days, Lu Xiang will never go to Gu Qingning''s side again. Gu Qingning is finally clean in school! But she was very curious, how did Qin Tianyi solve the problem of Lu Xiang pestering her? She thinks she should study hard~! Qin Tianyi''s questions about his little wife are definitely answered! "Since Lu Xiang is getting close to you as the Gao family''s visiting son-in-law, then just let him know that if he approaches you again, he will lose his status as the Gao family''s visiting son-in-law!" "He is a smart man, so he naturally knows how to choose." From Qin Tianyi''s words, Gu Qingning seemed to have heard something else. "Didn''t Lu Xiang really like Gao Lin?" She asked. "He is sincere, but his sincerity is not only for Gao Lin, but also for the Gao family behind Gao Lin." Two days ago, Qin Tianyi found Lu Xiang and had a conversation with Lu Xiang. He had a thorough understanding of Lu Xiang''s character! Qin Tianyi can be sure that when Lu Xiang pursued his wife, he also took a fancy to the background of the Gu family. It''s just that he overestimated himself too much, the Gu family is not something he can climb up to, and it''s not easy for Gu Qingning to fall in love with any man. Thinking of this, Qin Tianyi couldn''t help feeling grateful for his superior appearance. Otherwise, he might not even be able to pass the first test in front of his little wife! Gu Qingning believed in Qin Tianyi''s judgment, and when she learned about Lu Xiang''s personality, she thought of the time when she knew Lu Xiang not long ago, when she considered Lu Xiang as a friend... It''s too difficult to tell whether you are sincere or not when you get along with each other! Stocks are better, she can understand the ups and downs at a glance! ¡­ In Kyoto, as time passed, the Gu family, after Gu Qingning ''went out'', there was only one child left in the family, Gu Zerui. Gu Zerui is already thirteen this year, and he is in junior high school. His academic performance has always been very good. In addition to studying, Gu Zerui also has an identity! No one would have thought that at such a young age, he had already become one of the top 100 national server competitions in a large-scale online game that was popular all over the world. This is because he has to go to school on weekdays and has limited time to play games. Otherwise, with his skill level, even the top 30 can be entered! In the recent game, someone established a game studio, intending to form a game team composed of professional players. Gu Zerui''s operational skills were favored by the captain of the team, and he soon received an invitation from the team, hoping that he could become a member of the professional team. Gu Zerui is very sure of his concentration on the game. He loves to play games, and not just play. The charm of game competition is something he can''t resist! Joining a professional team was very tempting for him, but considering his age, he knew that he would definitely not be able to persuade his family to give up their studies and focus on games. So he rejected the team captain''s invitation, intending to complete his studies as quickly as possible! (end of this chapter) Chapter 546: studies Chapter 546 Studies Gu Zerui knows that only by graduating early can he be able to do whatever he wants. So starting from this day, Gu Zerui devoted more time to study every day. Although he is only in the first semester of the second grade of junior high school this year, he is already planning to go to high school in the second half of next year. As long as he finishes the third grade of junior high school in the remaining half a year, skipping a grade is not difficult. When Gu Zerui was studying hard, Meng Xiaoxiao, the daughter of the Meng family who was about the same age as him, was also in the second year of junior high school. Meng Xiaoxiao is a few months older than Gu Zerui, and is fourteen years old this year. But going to school depends on the month of birth, so even if she is a little older, she is still in the same grade as Gu Zerui. Meng Xiaoxiao''s academic situation is not as good as that of Gu Zerui, and the two did not go to the same junior high school, so although their brothers and sisters are good friends, they have almost no intersection. Meng Xiaoxiao grew up in the environment created by the Meng family. When she was young, her elder brother Meng Dabao was very kind to her, always buying her snacks. But when Meng Xiaoxiao got older, she found that her parents, grandpa and grandma had pinned on her the hope that she would take care of her brother in the future. Even if my elder brother married a daughter-in-law, she would not need to take care of her in the future, but the birth of his son made the whole family focus on her little nephew. Meng Xiaoxiao felt that she was at home, and gradually became a marginal figure. She seemed to be an outsider, watching the rest of the family love each other. Thinking like this made her unable to concentrate on her studies, so her academic performance dropped quite sharply. In the first year of junior high school, she was still ranked above the middle in the class test. Since the second year of junior high school, she was already in the bottom ten in the mock test! She didn''t study well, and it was difficult for her to go to high school. So Meng Xiaoxiao has already considered that she will leave school and go out to look for a job after the Chinese New Year is over this year. Fourteen years old is really too young to go out to work, but she heard that her brother Meng Dabao dropped out of school at the age of fourteen. And even at a young age, it is not completely without job opportunities. I heard that in some factories in the south, there are many young workers! Meng Xiaoxiao shared his thoughts with his family. Knowing that she could no longer study, both Meng Heng and Sun Yuan sighed helplessly. Children can''t learn, and it''s useless for them to try. Meng Heng originally thought that Dabao''s brain was burnt out, so he couldn''t make it through in his studies and dropped out of school early. Unexpectedly, he looked at his clever daughter since he was a child, but his brain was not working well, and his academic performance was also at the bottom~! In such a situation, their parents have no choice but to try their best to persuade their daughter to study for two more years. At least finish junior high school and have a junior high school diploma. Meng Xiaoxiao saw that her family insisted, so she had no choice but to continue going to school. But she has already decided that after her third year of junior high school, she will go out to find a job and stay away from home from then on. She feels that living at home is very depressing, and the outside world is a vast world! ¡ª ¡­ A year later, Meng Xiaoxiao entered the third year of junior high school. Her academic performance looked hopeless in high school, so she had to wait until she graduated from junior high school. As for Gu Zerui, he finished his junior high school courses ahead of schedule, and after passing the mock test for high school entrance, he successfully entered high school and became a freshman in high school. After three years in high school, he plans to continue skipping grades. Up to two years, he is going to university! During Gu Zerui''s freshman year of high school, his older sister Gu Qingning finally graduated from college. After graduation, Gu Qingning did not work in her own group, but chose to continue her graduate studies. But her graduate program did not go on. When she passed the postgraduate entrance examination and was about to enter school, she found out that she was pregnant¡ª Between the child and his studies, Gu Qingning did not hesitate to choose to give birth to the child first. When she was in college, she saw with her own eyes that Gao Lin''s body was covered in blood, and she ended up having a miscarriage. That scene touched her too much. It''s a pity that a lively little life would be gone. So when she knew that she had a baby in her stomach, Gu Qingning decided to postpone her studies. She will have plenty of time to go to school in the future, but now, if this child is gone, then even if she has another child next time, it won''t be the one she has now. Knowing that Gu Qingning was pregnant, the Gu family and the Qin family were all happy about it. Suddenly, various children''s supplies began to be sent to the homes that Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi bought after their marriage. When Gu Qingning''s belly just appeared, the storage room of her house was almost full of children''s supplies! The Qin family attaches great importance to this child! After all, their sons are already twenty-nine, and they will soon be thirty years old. It is really not easy to wait until they become fathers. So Qin Tianyi''s parents discussed and bought a large-scale villa directly, and built a family version of the children''s paradise in the yard. They hope that whether their grandson or granddaughter is good, they can live the best life and enjoy the happiest childhood since they were young! ¡­ In the blink of an eye, several months passed. At the beginning of 2005, when the winter snow had not yet melted. In the Lan family in Tianshui Village, Lan Dazhuang called to inform his younger brother and younger sister of the news of Lan Shengli''s death. The news was so sudden that after receiving the call, Lan Shu couldn''t believe it! Her adoptive father is just 70 this year, and the old man has always been in good health. He even built a greenhouse outside the village to grow vegetables. Even if he goes up the mountain on weekdays, he can climb to the top of the mountain with a slow breath, without feeling like a seventy-year-old man at all. But when everything was in normal condition, suddenly one morning, Lan Dazhuang saw that his father hadn''t gotten up to cook, and when he went inside, he was already dead... No symptoms, this is a death at the end of life. Chang Chunfang was also informed of the news. At first, Lan Dazhuang didn''t tell his mother the news. His mother is not young anymore, he is afraid that his mother will be stimulated. So he planned to discuss it with his mother after his younger brother and younger sister came back. But Chang Chunfang has lived in the village for decades after all, so she can always hear the news through some channels when there are major events in the village. Chang Chunfang has been in touch with the village head''s daughter-in-law, so the news that her wife is gone is because the village head''s daughter-in-law asked her when she would come back, and she didn''t know that his wife had gone in good condition! Chang Chunfang''s heart shook, she staggered, and almost fell to the ground. She was dizzy from the news, so she hurriedly braced herself and went to the main room to call her second son. Lan Xiuming had already gotten into the car and was about to arrive at the county seat, but when he heard that his mother was too dizzy to get up, he immediately changed the car and went back to the city. In the end, Lan Xiuming took his mother back to Tianshui Village almost by hand. Lan''s old house, Chang Chunfang stumbled into the gate of her house, saw the crystal coffin in the main room opposite the door, she burst into tears! (end of this chapter) Chapter 547: determination to go out In the past few years, Chang Chunfang has spent very little time with her wife. She always felt that the relationship between her and her husband had conflicts because of some things, so her husband didn''t want to live with her. Otherwise, she had lived in Linjiang City for so long, and her wife would not call her to ask her to come back. Because of this thought, Chang Chunfang really had no intention of returning to Tianshui Village. She thinks that after a few years, when she and her husband are really old enough to need mutual support, their relationship will naturally ease. But Chang Chunfang never thought that she would never be able to wait for that day¡ª Chang Chunfang was hit hard when her wife passed away at the end of her life. She suddenly realized that she was almost seventy years old, really old~! During the past few days dealing with the funeral of her wife and children, Chang Chunfang''s eyes were swollen from crying. Until the burial of her wife, Chang Chunfang''s half-white hair almost lost its black color in just a few days. Her energy and demeanor have visibly weakened, and she has the appearance of an old lady in her seventies. The three brothers of the Lan family saw their mother''s state in their eyes, and they were all worried that what would happen to their mother''s body. So the three of them have already discussed the issue of their mother''s pension. Regarding Chang Chunfang''s pension, neither Lan Dazhuang, Lan Xiuming, nor Lan Sibo thought about it on their little sister. Let¡¯s not say that they are sons, the parents¡¯ pension is naturally on them. Besides, the younger sister is not born to the parents, so there is no need to worry about the pension. Chang Chunfang knew what her sons thought, of course she had no objection. My wife is gone, and she looks lonely. Being able to live with the sons can be regarded as having someone by your side, someone to rely on. So Lan Dazhuang said, "Mom, you will live with me in Tianshui Village from now on. I spend most of my time in the village." In these years, although Lan Dazhuang went to Kyoto to see his wife every month, he did spend most of his time in the village, with an average of at most one week in Kyoto a month. When Chang Chunfang heard her son''s arrangement, she was slightly taken aback and refused on the spot! "Da Zhuang, I don''t want to be at home. Being here will make me think of your father all the time, and I will feel uncomfortable." Chang Chunfang''s statement was understandable, so Lan Dazhuang looked at his second brother. Of course Lan Xiuming is willing to take care of his mother, but there is some gap between his wife Tian Na and his mother. But fortunately, the brothers have arranged to take turns to take care of her. He will comfort his wife and let his mother stay at home for a while. After it was decided, when Lan Xiuming returned to Linjiang City, he brought his mother home too. Before going home, he had already discussed with his wife about supporting the elderly. Tian Na is a sensible woman. Even though she did have conflicts with her mother-in-law, she still understands the obligation of her children to support the elderly. Just like that, Chang Chunfang stayed at the house of her second son¡ª ¡­ One month later, March ends and April begins. It is less than half a month before Gu Qingning''s due date. These days, Gu Qingning has a big belly, and her body feels uncomfortable every day. At this time, she finally understood the hardships when her mother was pregnant with her and her brother. This made Gu Qingning even more grateful for her mother''s kindness in giving birth. Qin Tianyi saw his little wife''s situation in his eyes, but he couldn''t do anything except feel distressed. Soon to be a father, Qin Tianyi is looking forward to this child. When the child is born, the wife can rest. And he can also help take care of the children and share the pressure of his wife. ¡­ On the other side, the Gu family. In this semester, Gu Zerui has already finished the courses of the first year of high school, and now he has almost taught the courses of the second year of high school by himself. In the next semester, he plans to skip another grade and go directly to the third year of high school. Gu Zerui''s idea of ??skipping grades in junior high school and continuing to skip grades in high school made Lan Shu have to pay attention to her son. Lan Shu thought it was okay for her son to skip a grade in junior high school, which meant that her son was smart. After all, when his father went to Peking University School of Medicine, he also had the experience of skipping a grade. But the matter of skipping a grade in high school, in Lan Shu''s view, should be carefully considered. The results of the college entrance examination are related to where to go to university. Of course, Lan Shu hopes that her son can be admitted to a good university. However, Gu Zerui took the initiative to find a teacher and got the sophomore test paper. After he finished the paper, the score result was affirmed by the teacher. He has no opinion on the fact that he will go directly to the third year of high school next semester. When Lan Shu heard the news, she realized that she really underestimated her son before. Since the teacher thinks there is no problem, then she has no objection. So before the summer vacation, Lan Shu had already passed the school and completed the formalities for her son to skip a grade. When school starts again, Gu Zerui will be a senior in high school¡ª ¡­ When Gu Zerui was going to be in the third year of high school ahead of schedule, the Meng family and Meng Xiaoxiao finally finished the last year of junior high school. Fifteen-year-old Meng Xiaoxiao barely graduated from junior high school despite her poor academic performance. After graduation, Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t plan to go to high school again. And even if she wanted to, based on her academic performance, she failed to pass the minimum score for high school admissions. Seeing this, the Meng family could only follow their daughter''s wishes and let her graduate from school and enter the society. Meng Heng originally planned to find a relatively easy job for his daughter nearby. Even if Meng Xiaoxiao only had a junior high school education and could only enter a factory, even if she entered a factory, the degree of hardship was different. But Meng Xiaoxiao refused her father to worry about her. She has already figured out the future for herself. "Dad, I heard that many factories in the south are recruiting workers, and the wages there are much higher than those in small factories around Kyoto. I want to go out and make a breakthrough." My daughter''s idea was immediately rejected by Meng Heng! "What are you doing so far away?" Meng Xiaoxiao¡¯s mother, Sun Yuan, also said, ¡°Xiaoxiao, our family is not short of money, you can just find a job in Kyoto.¡± Her grandparents even disagreed with her granddaughter going outside, "It''s not safe for a girl to go outside alone." Fifteen-year-old children are at the stage of the rebellious period! Meng Xiaoxiao saw that her family objected to her going to work far away, the more she wanted to leave home! She wants to be free, not live under the watchful eyes of her parents like a bird in a cage. So she lost her temper with her family in order to go to work in other places. If the family doesn''t let her go out, she won''t go downstairs, don''t eat, and lock herself in the house. In the hearts of Meng Heng and Sun Yuan, Meng Xiaoxiao has always been their good daughter, and this is the first time they have seen their daughter look so rebellious. They want to persuade their daughter, tell her the benefits of staying in Kyoto and staying with them. It''s a pity that Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t give her parents a chance to explain, she just accepted the truth! If her parents don''t agree with her going to work in other places, she will be angry with her family! Chapter 548: Meng Xiaoxiao is really persevering when it comes to going out to work. She didn''t eat or drink for three whole days, and she was so hungry that she didn''t have the energy to get out of bed. Meng Heng and Sun Yuan were afraid that their daughter would do good or bad, so they didn''t want to promise their daughter to stay away from home, so they had to agree~! So a few days later, Meng Xiaoxiao, who had recuperated, got a ticket and got on the train to the south¡ª Meng Xiaoxiao is only fifteen years old, so of course the family is worried about her traveling alone. So Meng Xiaoxiao was with her father, Meng Heng. Meng Hong has not yet retired. In order to take her daughter to the south to find a job for her daughter, Meng Heng specially asked for a few days off. Meng Heng accompanied Meng Xiaoxiao to the south, and took Meng Xiaoxiao with him to help Meng Xiaoxiao find a job. Meng Heng worked hard, and finally let his daughter enter a semi-mechanized carpet weaving factory according to his daughter''s wish. Compared with the hard work in other factories, weaving carpets in a carpet factory will be a little easier. Meng Xiaoxiao was very satisfied with the job, so she quickly started working. Even though Meng Heng saw that his daughter had a job, he was worried about her, so he purposely stayed in this city for a few more days. After making sure that his daughter was fine at work, he was relieved. Finally, he talked to his daughter before returning to Kyoto. ¡­ Kyoto Mengjia. Meng Xiaoxiao left home and went out to work. Even though Meng Heng said that he had made arrangements for his daughter, the family was still worried. Especially Meng Dabao, he really cared about his younger sister very much. Although Meng Dabao didn''t know why his sister seemed to be estranged from him in recent years, Meng Dabao thought it was because girls would have their own worries when they grow up, right? His sister may be more introverted, so she is not too close to her family. Even if they were not close before, my sister was always at home, under their noses. Now that his sister is far away, he is afraid that something will happen to her if she is alone outside! So Meng Dabao calls and sends messages to his sister''s pager almost every day. It''s a pity that my sister didn''t call him back. Instead, Meng Xiaoxiao would call back home every week. Only then could Meng Dabao hear his sister''s voice on the phone. Meng Dabao has been thinking about his sister foolishly, and the Meng family didn''t think there was anything wrong with it. It was Meng Dabao''s daughter-in-law, Zhou Lan, who faintly felt the estrangement between her sister-in-law and his man. When she first married into the Meng family, she also thought that her sister-in-law was introverted. But there is a brother like his man who cares about his sister. Even if the younger sister is shy, she should have a good relationship with her brother, right? After his sister-in-law went to work in other places, his man sent various messages of concern on weekdays, and she saw it. But even my sister-in-law never greeted my brother when she called home every week. Didn''t even mention my brother! As if there is no such person as her brother in this family¡ª Zhou Lan knew that her man was sincere, even if she told her man these findings, her man would not feel that his sister was alienated from him. I will only think that I am wrong. So Zhou Lan chose to remain silent. It''s just that from this day on, in Zhou Lan''s heart, she doesn''t take her sister-in-law so seriously. Emotions are mutual, since you don''t care about me, I don''t care about you either. ¡­ At the end of July, Meng Xiaoxiao had been out to work for almost a month. And at this time, the 100-day banquet for the grandson of the Qin family was held in a grand manner~! Gu Qingning gave birth to a grandson for the Qin family in the hospital more than three months ago. The elders of the Qin family were so happy that they couldn''t stop talking from ear to ear! In the beginning, they never thought that their daughter-in-law would have a son¡ª Although they don''t mind whether the child''s gender is male or female, for a family like the Qin family with a big business and a ''mine'' inheritance, grandchildren are of course better! The Qin family treats this child like a treasure. During the full moon, the full moon wine was served. When the child was almost 100 days old, compared with the full moon, he opened a lot, the skin was white and tender, and he was chubby, and the big watery eyes looked so cute! The Qin family can''t wait to let everyone know that their grandson is doing well. So the Hundred Days Banquet must be held! They want to show off their babies to all relatives and friends around them! There is no circle of friends these days, so this is how rich people post their babies¡ª The status of the Qin family is high in the circle of Kyoto. They want to hold a banquet, and some people come to respond. Gu Qingning can understand how her father-in-law and mother-in-law feel. Although she thinks the Hundred Days Banquet is really unnecessary, but if the Qin family wants to organize it, then go ahead~! After the child was born, she could finally cultivate her body. During pregnancy, she suffered a loss of body, and with the supply of various supplements, she gradually recovered. As for the children, Gu Qingning didn''t bring many by himself. On weekdays, she is only responsible for breastfeeding. In the rest of the time, ''Xiao Qin'' is surrounded by grandpa, grandma, and father. The three of them take turns taking care of the children, and they don¡¯t even need a babysitter~! It''s not that the Qin family can''t afford a nanny, but that Xiao Qin''s preciousness in the Qin family makes grandpa and grandma reluctant to look away. His father is also rushing to hug him, there is no room for a nanny at all. ¡­ On the day of the ''Xiao Qin'' Hundred Days Banquet, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai went to attend together. As grandfathers and grandmothers, they also like the grandson ''Xiao Qin'' very much. So when Xiao Qin was full moon, they gave gifts. Since the Hundred Days Banquet is going to be held, there will definitely be a lot of gifts! A gift that Lan Shu can offer is naturally not bad. Langu Group¡¯s shares, even if it¡¯s only 1%, can be converted to tens of millions in cash! What''s more, she gave it twice¡ª While Lan Shu gave the group shares to her grandson, Gu Qingning, as the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, also gave birth to a grandson for the Qin family, and the Qin family was not stingy. The Qin family gave their daughter-in-law 3% of the shares long ago during Gu Qingning''s pregnancy. After giving birth to a grandson, another 2% reward. As a result, what Gu Qingning got was even more than what Lan Shu gave away! That is to say, the Qin family''s business is not as big as Lanshu''s, otherwise the five percent is quite astonishing! The fact that the two families gave each other shares made the relationship between the Qin and Gu families more and more close~! ¡­ Gu Jia, during the recent holidays, Gu Zerui spent more time on games than usual. In the past two years, although he has spent much less time in the game, his reputation has not diminished much. In the game, three game studios have appeared on the national server side, and the established game teams are well-known in the server! Three game studios successively sent invitations to Gu Zerui, hoping that he could become a professional game player. It''s a pity that no one knows that he is just a half-year-old boy who is just fifteen years old. And even if Gu Zerui wanted to join the team, it''s not the time yet. He has to finish college, so he must give his parents an explanation~! Chapter 549: Xiao Qin is favored Chapter 549 Xiao Qin is Favored Although Gu Zerui is young, he has a strong sense of responsibility. He can''t choose selfishly without considering the feelings of his parents. However, Gu Zerui did not know that Pinnacle Studio, one of the three major game studios in the national server, was established by his father Gu Jue. The captain of the team under the name of the studio, Ling Ran, is a senior game player personally picked by Gu Jue. Gu Jue had heard Ling Ran tell him many times that there was an Abyss Assassin in the game who was very powerful. He always wanted to invite this assassin player to join the team, but was rejected. Gu Jue felt deeply sorry when he heard the news. Although he hopes that others will join, he cannot force the other party. Until this summer vacation is about to end, and in a few days, when Gu Zerui is about to start school and enter the third grade of high school, Xiaobai accidentally sees the game his son is playing at home, which is a game developed by him. Knowing his son''s game ID, he was surprised to find that an assassin player highly recommended by his game studio team leader turned out to be his son! Xiao Bai suddenly discovered his son''s talent in games at this time. He is different from ordinary parents. He doesn''t think that his son''s playing games during school is an act of playing with things. Instead, he told his son that if his son is interested in joining a professional team in the game in the future, he can choose to go to the top. Gu Zerui was stunned by what his father said¡ª "Dad, if one day I want to focus my career on games, will you agree?" Xiaobai thought about his son''s idea carefully before answering. "If you like it, you think it through, and you won''t regret it in the future, then no matter what decision you make, your parents will support you." Xiaobai will not force his son to do anything. Even if he and his wife make the Langu Group bigger and stronger and need an heir in the future, it doesn''t have to be his own son. In Xiaobai''s heart, he has never favored sons over daughters. The successors of the group are chosen, and the sons and daughters are those who are capable. As for his son, he has already made up his mind. If Rarity doesn''t intend to manage the group in the future, then he will give his son some shares. The person in power of the group, now it seems that it is more appropriate for a daughter to inherit in the future. Gu Zerui listened to his father''s words, and the things he had been worrying about in his heart were resolved in an instant¡ª "Thank you, Dad." After Gu Zerui finished speaking, he became more determined in his goal. He must finish his studies as soon as possible, and then he can devote himself to the game career of his choice with peace of mind! ¡­ In September, it¡¯s the day when school starts. Gu Zerui entered the third year of high school and began to study intensely. Gu Qingning also took good care of her body, and studied at home when she was free, so as to prepare for continuing to go to school in the future. But at this stage, because the child is too young, Gu Qingning has no way to go back to school as soon as possible. The Qin family, the importance the family attaches to their grandson is clearly visible. In order to name Xiao Qin, the family members from the child''s birth to the child''s 100th day, even now it is almost half a year old, still haven''t decided on a name. Finally, when Xiao Qin was half a year old, his name was finally decided, Qin Xi. A name has been decided. This child is the future heir of the Qin family, and the most precious existence of their Qin family! Half-year-old Xiao Qin is cute and cute, and is carefully dressed up by the elders every day. If the 100-day banquet had not already been held, and there was no such thing as a half-year-old banquet, the Qin family really planned to hold another banquet to show off the baby in the circle. Fortunately, there will be a birthday party half a year later. Even before the first birthday party, the Qin family had already started planning what clothes Xiao Qin should wear and what to do at the first birthday party. Gu Qingning saw her son being spoiled by her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and her husband. At first, she thought that her father-in-law and mother-in-law suddenly had a grandson, and she was too excited, so she didn''t care. Later, under the over-love of the elders, the children have become a little self-willed~! Gu Qingning thought of the way her parents raised her younger brother when she was young. Even if their family is rich, the life of the younger brother is not bad, but the mother never spoils the younger brother. Thinking of this, Gu Qingning thought that she should pay more attention to her son in the future. The much-loved ''Xiao Qin'' doesn''t know at this moment that his mother is going to change his temper~! ¡­ On the other side, the Lan family in Tianshui Village. Since Lan Shengli passed away at the end of his life. Chang Chunfang began to take care of her three sons. She first went to live with her second child for three months, and then was taken home by her eldest son, Lan Dazhuang, who also took care of her for three months. When living at the second son''s house, Chang Changchunfang felt very comfortable. Her three meals a day, generally only need to make lunch by herself. Morning and evening, the son and daughter-in-law prepare before going to work and after get off work. Besides living in the second son''s house, Chang Chunfang can see her second grandson Lan Haoran more often. It''s a pity that the sons have already discussed it, and each family rotates, so she can only live with the family for three months. When Chang Chunfang left her second son''s house, she was reluctant to part~! Returning to Tianshui Village after three months and living in the old house, Chang Chunfang was still a little uncomfortable at first. As she said before, in this place she is extremely familiar with, she can''t help but think that her wife used to live here alone. After getting used to it slowly, Chang Chunfang finally lived with her eldest son for three full months! After that, it was time for her to go to live with her youngest son. Lan Dazhuang personally sent his mother to the third brother''s house. At this time, Chang Chunfang''s youngest son, Lan Sibo, had a new child at home. The daughter-in-law gave birth to her a white and fat little granddaughter, which made Chang Chunfang very happy, and she was full of talk about helping her son take care of the child! Yu Xia didn''t marry into Lan''s family so early, so she didn''t know about the fact that her mother-in-law took care of the eldest brother''s child, lost the eldest brother''s child, and almost couldn''t find it. Seeing that her mother-in-law is in a very high mood to take care of the child, Yu Xia is of course willing to let her mother-in-law help with the care. After Chang Chunfang moved into her youngest son''s house, she spent almost all her time around her little granddaughter. Chang Chunfang is almost seventy years old now, unlike twenty years ago, when her body was still strong and she had no problem raising children! But now, once people get older, they tend to suffer from backaches and backaches, and need more rest. So she took her newborn baby with her, and after just over a month, her back hurts and her arms are sore. When the pain was severe, she could hardly even get out of bed~! Suddenly, Yu Xia found that she not only had to take care of the children, but also took care of her mother-in-law. In just a few days, Yu Xia was exhausted enough! The dark circles under her eyes became serious! Fortunately, Yu Xia is a big star and made a lot of money when she was young, and her husband Lan Sibo''s income is not low, and the brothers of the Lan family all have shares in free-range chicken farms and orchards, so they are not short of money at all. So the two immediately found a nanny to ease the difficulties of raising children at home. (end of this chapter) Chapter 550: filial piety Chapter 550 Filial piety Chang Chunfang recuperated at her youngest son''s house for more than a month before finally recovering. Originally, she promised to take care of her little granddaughter, but because her physical condition did not allow it, she couldn''t continue! Fortunately, after the nanny was found, Lan Sibo''s family did not lack a mother to take care of the child. Chang Chunfang stayed with her youngest son in this way. Soon, I lived for three months¡ª After living in the homes of the three sons in rotation, Chang Chunfang felt that although the second son lived in a good house, it was always too quiet. And she doesn''t see her second grandson too often. Living with the eldest son, the old house is in the village after all, so it is inconvenient to buy anything, so Chang Chunfang is not used to it. Relatively speaking, the third son''s family is the best. Once in Kyoto, travel is convenient. Secondly, this house is a villa with a small garden, and it is comfortable to live in. The most important thing is that there is a milk doll at home, so I can tease it when I have nothing to do, and watch the baby cry and laugh, lively and lively. She likes this lively environment very much. So Chang Chunfang proposed to her sons that she wanted to live with her third son in the future. Although she said so, it is very unfair to the third son on the pension issue. But fortunately, Lan Sibo doesn''t care about these. He has the ability to raise his own mother, and he doesn''t care whether he suffers from his brothers. So from then on, Chang Chunfang lived in Kyoto¡ª ¡­ The house that Lan Sibo bought in Kyoto is on Chang''an Avenue, not far from his elder brother Lan Dazhuang''s home in Kyoto, and his younger sister''s mansion in Kyoto. After Chang Chunfang settled down, she could occasionally visit her family. She has a bad relationship with her eldest daughter-in-law, and her eldest grandson Lan Juncheng is not in the capital, so of course she will not go to her eldest son''s house. It''s her daughter''s house, she will take time to visit her grandson. Although Lan Shu''s relationship with her adoptive mother has weakened a lot in recent years, she hardly sees her adoptive mother if it''s nothing serious. But when her adoptive mother took the initiative to come to her house, the reason was to see her grandson, she couldn''t say anything to refuse. However, Gu Zerui is very busy studying on weekdays. Every time the eldest grandma comes to see him at home, he has to put down the books in his hands and act like a good obedient grandson in front of the eldest grandma. In fact, since he was a child, Gu Zerui didn''t meet this grandma very often, so he didn''t mention any relationship with the grandma. Gu Zerui is already fifteen years old this year. He has heard from his sister about the relationship between his mother and his grandparents in Tianshui Village. He knew that he was not the grandson of the great grandmother, they were just a title relationship. And this kind of relationship is maintained by the eldest grandmother, Gu Zerui can feel that the eldest grandmother wants to see his mother rather than to see him. Lan Shu didn''t have any special reaction to the frequent visits of her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang. She is usually busy with work, so when her adoptive mother comes to the house, she is not at home most of the time. If you can''t see each other, there will be no problem. Even if occasionally she comes back from get off work in the group early and meets her adoptive mother, she still shows that the relationship is far and near. Chang Chunfang saw that her daughter still had a grudge against her, so gradually, she went to her daughter''s house less frequently. Lan Sibo carefully discovered the gap between his mother and little sister. He also heard that at the time, his mother would rather waste the mother-daughter relationship with the younger sister than let the younger sister help her natal relatives arrange work. Lan Sibo persuaded his mother from the sidelines when he saw that his mother was not in a good mood. "Mom, you have reached this age, so don''t force yourself." After being persuaded by her son several times, Chang Chunfang gradually thought about it. Her sons strived to make her live a leisurely and comfortable life in her later years. As for the relationship between her and her daughter, just let it be~! ¡­ Time passed day by day, and it will soon be the time of Chinese New Year. This year, because Chang Chunfang is in Kyoto, apart from Lan Xiuming''s family, brothers Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo and their families are all in Kyoto for the New Year. As the younger sister, Lan Shu will of course sit down and eat with her brothers during the Chinese New Year. So it was inevitable for her to meet her adoptive mother¡ª At the dinner table, Chang Chunfang still wanted to repair the relationship with her daughter, so she wrapped a big red envelope for Gu Zerui, the grandson! Since her wife, Lan Shengli, passed away, the money at home and Lan Shengli''s card are more than 200,000 yuan! None of the sons asked for a share of the money, so now the money is in the hands of Chang Chunfang. Because of having money, Chang Chunfang can completely decide on her own about giving her grandson a big red envelope. She wrapped a big red envelope worth 1,000 yuan, which is definitely a lot in this day and age, but the Lan brothers and sisters didn''t think it was a big deal. Before accepting the red envelope, Gu Zerui glanced at his mother, seeing his mother nodding slightly, he took the red envelope. After Gu Zerui received the red envelope, Lan Shu, Lan Dazhuang, and Lan Sibo brothers and sisters each took out a red envelope and gave it to Chang Chunfang. The money in the red envelope was negotiated by the brothers and sisters, and they each had 5,000 yuan, as a way of honoring their mother. After Lan Dazhuang gave himself the red envelope, he took out another one, saying that the second child asked him to hand it over. Chang Chunfang collected 20,000 yuan in a short time today, and she suddenly felt a sense of pride in her sons and daughters'' ability~! During the Chinese New Year, you can receive 20,000 yuan of filial piety from your children. How many children can be so filial? So the next day, when Chang Chunfang was on the phone with relatives, friends and neighbors, she almost told others about the fact that her children gave her 20,000 yuan during the New Year~! Her intention is to let everyone know how much her children value her. But if this word falls into the ears of others, it is Chang Chunfang who is showing off~! Among the relatives, friends and neighbors Chang Chunfang knew, none of them had a family condition comparable to hers. So when she hung up the phone, someone would gossiping behind her back, saying that she was **** off, and there would be no good results! The relatives of her natal family learned that she is no longer in Linjiang City, but has gone to Kyoto to live with her children. Before the annual vacation was over this year, Chang Chunfang''s natal nephews and nephews-in-law brought their daughter-in-law and gifts to visit her in person. Chang Chunfang is not stupid now, she has long seen clearly the attitude of her natal relatives towards her. Now relatives from her natal family come to see her, but because she lives a good life and her children are filial. The most important thing is that the eldest nephew and nephew and son-in-law are all working under her daughter''s company. They come here, if they can meet Shushu, their "big boss" and leave a good impression on the big boss, then they will feel more at ease when they work in the factory~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 551: old lady Chapter 551 Old lady Chang Chunfang''s natal relatives came all the way to see her, and they definitely couldn''t go back on the same day. Therefore, her sons have to worry about the food and housing of these relatives in Kyoto. For Lan Sibo, it was the first time he saw these **** relatives. Even though Lan Dazhuang met his **** nephew a few years ago, the situation at that time was also Chang Zheng¡¯s younger brother Chang Gui, who came to his younger sister¡¯s house with his old father to ask for a job! So Lan Dazhuang didn''t have a good impression of these **** relatives. The other party came to the door and needed him to arrange a place to live, and he didn''t even want to take care of it! But for the sake of his mother, he still brought the three members of the Chang family to the guest house for a few days. During the whole process, only Chang Chunfang was happy. Because in her eyes, children are filial, and relatives and juniors also remember her well, so they came to see her from so far away. She felt that she was simply an old lady who lived the best life in her later years~! After the three families came to visit Chang Chunfang, the aunt, they did not leave in a hurry, but traveled around Kyoto by the way. They left after returning to work after the year. Before leaving, the three families said that they would visit the old lady again next year. Lan Dazhuang didn''t welcome the fact that the three families wanted to come again. He is not short of money, and he is not stingy, but that is someone who has a good relationship with him! The relatives of his mother''s family are not within the scope of good relationship. That''s why his mother thinks that there are juniors from her natal family who come to visit her, and she has a good face. But which one of these people is not profitable, so they come here? When the three families left, the value of the Kyoto specialties that his mother asked him to prepare for these natal relatives had already exceeded the value of the gifts they brought over to visit his mother. This is not to mention the various expenses for food and accommodation for the three of them in Kyoto these few days¡ª Fortunately, relatives come to visit only once a year. Lan Dazhuang could only comfort himself, and passed it with patience... ¡­ Not long after the year, it was the first anniversary of Lan Shengli. The three brothers of the Lan family returned home a day early, preparing things for worship the next morning. Although Lan Shu is an adopted daughter, she always remembers how kind her adoptive father Lan Shengli was to her. Even if her adoptive father is no longer there, she will still remember the worship service behind her and be there on time. When Lan Shu returned to Tianshui Village this time, Xiao Bai was with her. The two drove to Qingyang County and stopped to buy a lot of paper burning supplies. Paper money, ingots, paper-made TV sets, refrigerators, cars, and houses are all available, and the trunk is full before heading to Tianshui Village. By the time they arrived at Tianshui Village in the afternoon, the three brothers of the Lan family had already gathered in the old house in the village. In addition to the three brothers of the Lan family, the eldest daughter-in-law Tang Chu and the second daughter-in-law Tian Na of the Lan family also came back together. Lan Sibo''s daughter-in-law Yu Xia failed to come. Yu Xia gave birth to a child last year, and now her daughter is only half a year old, and she cannot leave her mother for a while. Children who are too young are not suitable to appear on this kind of occasion, so Yu Xia didn''t come because of special circumstances. But Chang Chunfang came back with Lan Sibo. Chang Chunfang has lived in Kyoto for half a year, and before she knew it, she found that it had been a year since her husband left¡ª At this time, Chang Chunfang suddenly felt that time flies so fast! She even couldn''t help but think, how many years can she live? Regarding the answer to this question, it is obvious that as she gets older every year, her time will only get less and less. Chang Chunfang looks back on the past. When she was young, she stayed in the village with her husband for decades. After finally getting out of the village, she started a business and made money. In fact, her life in those years was not very good. Instead, she experienced the complaints from her daughters-in-law, the dislike of her own daughter, and even her family members gradually became alienated from her... She didn''t have a good life, her husband was gone, and she was left alone. Chang Chunfang felt that her life was really a failure! There are still many years left, she plans to make her life more exciting¡ª After waiting for her wife''s anniversary, she decided to go out for a walk, and learn from those rich old ladies in Kyoto to appreciate the great rivers and mountains in China! As Chang Chunfang thought about it, her emotions began to surge. She didn''t worry about her wife''s anniversary at all. Whether it is the preparation of the sacrifices or the banquet held in the village for the first anniversary tomorrow, it will be properly arranged by the three brothers of the Lan family. ¡­ Early the next morning, the four brothers and sisters set off with their daughter-in-law and the man to the place where their father was buried in Houshan. Placing sacrifices and burning paper money, some neighbors in the village who have a good relationship with the Lan family also brought some paper money to burn. Although the Lan family was an outsider decades ago, but because the brothers of the Lan family are capable, the entire Lan family is now a big family in the village! Many villagers gave the Lan family face, so for the banquet at noon, Lan Dazhuang invited cooks and waiters from the county hotel, and arranged 17 or 18 tables inside and outside the courtyard of his home, all of which were fully occupied! There were too many villagers who came to the Lan''s house to eat this time, so no one noticed that a white-haired old lady with a pointed face and a short young man of eighteen or nineteen were also sitting on the mat in an inconspicuous corner outside the courtyard. before. The moment the waiter who was in charge of serving the dishes brought the sumptuous dishes to the table, the old lady took the plastic bags prepared in advance and kept putting the meat dishes into her bags. Although the eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man beside her did not hold a plastic bag, his swift movement of putting meat into his bowl was no slower than that of the old lady. The two unceremoniously brought food and take, which made the villagers who ate at the same table very unhappy! "Mrs. Xu! How can you let us eat like this?" "That is to say, Xu Fugui, your bowl is full and you reach out your hand on the table. It''s like you haven''t eaten in eight lifetimes~!" The people at this table are all young people from the village, and most of them are women, so even though they know the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xu family, they don''t know about their past festivals with the Lan family. Mrs. Xu is usually very close to her grandson. When she heard someone say bad things about her grandson, she was immediately upset! "Eating banquets, eating banquets, whether you can eat enough, and how much you can eat, all depends on your ability!" The young man with a mouth full of meat also said vaguely, "Who told you not to prepare in advance?" It is true that there are some old ladies in the village who bring plastic bags when eating, but most of those old ladies wait for the table to be eaten before they take out the plastic bags and collect them. It is really rare for the old lady Xu, grandson and grandson, to ''domineeringly'' at the dinner table and not give others a chance to eat! Old lady Xu¡¯s words made a new daughter-in-law at the same table who married from another village two years ago couldn¡¯t stand it¡ª The little daughter-in-law threw her chopsticks, got up and yelled loudly, "Everyone, look at this shameless old lady of the Xu family, who always brags in the village that her son is doing big business outside, how capable she is!" (end of this chapter) Chapter 552: It turned out to be her! Chapter 552 So it''s her! "Look, look, a capable son can''t even support his wife, he can take half of the table into his pocket!" "The family is poor, how hard is it to expose the pot? Why do such embarrassing things?" Shouting such things loudly at a banquet hosted by someone else''s house is really disrespectful to the host! The old sister-in-law of the Li family who lives in the south of the village, as soon as she heard her daughter-in-law''s voice, she hurried over to stop her daughter-in-law. But when Sister-in-law Li came and saw the old lady her daughter-in-law mentioned, she immediately stared in surprise! "Old lady Xu, why do you have the nerve to eat at Lan''s table?!" The movement of the tables outside the gate of the courtyard quickly attracted the attention of the brothers and sisters of the Lan family in the courtyard. Lan Dazhuang got up and quickly walked out of the yard. Behind him, Lan Sibo followed immediately¡ª Lan Shu glanced at her elder brother and third brother, but did not go out together. Because she felt that with the ability of the eldest brother and the third brother, what emergencies could they not solve? Just thinking about it, suddenly! There was a ''crash-'' outside the courtyard door, and the sound of the plate falling to the ground came! Followed by the sharp voice of an old lady, and the angry curses of his elder brother and third brother! Seeing this situation, Lan Shu immediately got up from her seat and walked out of her house¡ª Beside her, Xiaobai also followed immediately, so that he could protect his wife immediately in case something happened. Before she walked out the door, Lan Shu heard a man with a duck voice shouting outside! "If you dare to touch my grandma, I will kill your family with a knife at night!" This kind of threat of killing people made Lan Shu frowned fiercely. What exactly happened to make the other party threaten their family so much? Lan Shu stopped and said to Xiao Bai beside her, "Call the police!" She is really worried that the existence of such extremists will pose potential danger to their family. When Xiaobai heard what his wife said, he had already pulled out his cell phone and was about to call out. When he heard the threat from the man outside, he and his wife actually wanted to go together~ Xiaobai called here to quickly inform the county law enforcement team of the situation, and then went out with his wife to check the situation outside. I saw not far from the door, a table of banquets was overturned to the ground, and the bowls, chopsticks, and plates were broken into pieces! The good food also falls on the floor, and the dirty one can''t be eaten. Beside the table, a short young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was holding a table leg in his hand, and greeted the third brother Lanshu with a fierce face! Although Lan Sibo has been raising pigs for more than 20 years, in fact his job should be a scientific research clerical job. Where is this young and young opponent who looks desperate? Soon, he got several blows on the arms and shoulders! He grinned in pain. Not far from the young man, Lan Shu''s elder brother was being hugged desperately by the pant legs of an old lady with thinning hair and white hair. Because the other party was too old, Lan Dazhuang didn''t dare to throw away too hard for a while, so he couldn''t go to support his third brother. Fortunately, Xiaobai appeared at this time, and he ran to the short young man in two or three steps, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he removed the table leg from the opponent''s hand with one hand! Followed by another grappling, he swiftly pressed the short young man to the ground! In just a few minutes, the short young man with a fierce expression couldn''t stand up anymore! The old lady not far away saw that her grandson was not taking advantage, so she let go of Lan Dazhuang, then got up from the ground and rushed towards her grandson! While she was running, she kept ¡®Ahhh! ¡¯ cried¡ª "You people who have suffered thousands of dollars! Let go of my grandson! If anything happens to my grandson, don''t think about it for your family!" Lan Shu listened to the old lady''s voice, always felt a little familiar? Looking at the old lady''s appearance, it also makes her feel a little familiar... Who is this old lady? The next second, she heard someone from the neighbors in the village who came to have a meal shouting at the old lady, "Old lady Xu, are you still shameless? Why do you have the nerve to come to Lan''s house for a meal?" "The young people in our village don''t know about the messy things in your family, so you just pretend that all of us are blind and can''t see you, right?" "In the past, your grandparents and grandchildren went to other people''s houses to share a meal, and most of them didn''t care about you, but you can really eat this meal in the Lan family?" "Which banquet my grandson and I want to eat is none of your business!" When the old lady heard someone in the village talk about her, she immediately cursed back! And at this time, listening to the villagers addressing the old lady, and saying, "It''s a shame to come to Lan''s house for dinner..." Lan Shu finally knew who the old lady in front of her was! Mrs. Xu, isn¡¯t she Xu Yunjie¡¯s wife? ! Lan Shu remembered that many years ago, Xu Yunjie and his wife went to Haicheng to join their son. After that, Xu Yunjie ran away with the money in Haicheng, and went to Shenzhen to work as a contractor again. At that time, Lan Shu also confessed that her group''s real estate company in Shencheng made Xu Yunjie unable to get along in real estate~! After that, Lan Shu didn''t receive any news from Xu Yunjie¡ª After more than ten years, she originally thought that Xu Yunjie would never appear in front of her again, but she didn''t expect that she actually saw Xu Yunjie''s mother in the village! What Lan Shu didn''t expect was that Xu Yunjie''s mother would be so thick-skinned! Run to their Lan¡¯s house to have dinner¡ª Lan Shu looked at Mrs. Xu, and then at the short eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man who was called ''grandson'' by Mrs. Xu. That young man should be Xu Yunjie''s child born to him by Xiaosan when he was in Haicheng. So when was this child brought back to the village by Mrs. Xu to raise him? Because Lan Shu rarely returned to Tianshui Village these years, she didn''t know about the relevant situation. Just as she was thinking, Mrs. Xu, who was not far away, had already run to her grandson. The old lady''s skinny hands full of age spots grabbed Xiao Bai''s arm, trying to pull him away from her grandson¡ª But how can an old lady pull a tall, strong man? He yanked the person a few times but failed to pull him away, so he simply said ''Ouch~! ¡¯ With a sound, he lay on the ground and rolled over! Mrs. Xu cried while rolling, "Beat me! Beat me! Someone is going to kill me, an old lady!" "If I die, your family will pay for my life!" "If you don''t let go of my grandson, your family will go to prison to eat in the future!" The old lady''s behavior of yelling and shouting is completely embarrassing! She can be open-minded. Even if others know that what she does is unreasonable, no one will want to entangle with this kind of person. Because the old lady is really old, if she really has something good or bad, then she or her family will come to the door with this, even if it is justified, they can''t tell~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 553: death Chapter 553 Forced by death Looking at Mrs. Xu lying on the ground rolling and crying, Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo both clenched their fists and gritted their teeth angrily! But this can''t do anything to Mrs. Xu! Just listening to the words of the surrounding villagers, Xiao Bai also guessed the identity of the old lady in front of him. He still remembered that more than 20 years ago, not long after he came to Tianshui Village, one day the rest of the Lan family went out, and only he and Lan Shu were at home. At that time, Mrs. Xu was standing outside the gate of Lan''s house, scolding so badly! At this time, I looked at the crying old lady. At this moment, the figure of the poppy old lady overlapped with the bitter old lady Xu twenty years ago¡ª Xiaobai just feels disgusted! But how to deal with the current situation, Xiaobai was a little confused for a while. The next second, he heard his wife''s voice¡ª "Old lady, don''t talk nonsense. There are so many neighbors watching whether our family beat someone. Everyone can testify to us." "As for my man taking down your grandson, it''s because he threatened to cut off our whole family. His behavior is more serious, and it is already a premeditated murder!" "And he beat my third brother just now, don''t worry, my third brother will definitely go to the hospital for an injury check, and your family will definitely lose money~!" After Lan Shu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu''s eyes widened and she was extremely angry. She was about to curse, but was interrupted by Lan Shu''s voice! "Don''t worry, we have already called the police, and the law enforcement team should be here later, and you can take your grandson back for a proper trial." Lan Shu''s voice was not loud, but it was enough for Mrs. Xu to hear clearly. Knowing that the Lan family even called the police to arrest her grandson, how could Mrs. Xu agree? She stared blankly at Lan Shu, and was so frightened that she even stopped crying for a while. But she quickly realized, and then there was another sharp cry, "You are trying to force people to death, you don''t want my old lady to live!" "Whether you want to live or not is your business, but before you die, you still have to settle the accounts with our family." Lan Shu was extremely calm, and she spoke in a tone of not caring about other people''s life and death, which made Mrs. Xu choke! "You bitch! You cursed me to death? What a bad heart and bad lungs!..." Before Mrs. Xu could finish cursing, she was interrupted by Lan Shu. "Neighbors, listen up. Although you are old, if you abuse others at will, I have the right to sue you!" She smiled slightly, looked at Mrs. Xu, and continued, "If you don''t believe me, you can try to curse again. A lawyer will come to your door tomorrow and send the lawyer''s letter to your home!" Lan Shu is not used to this old lady at all, she will not accommodate her just because Xu is old. She looked at Mrs. Xu coldly, and continued, "We didn''t invite you to the banquet at Lan''s family today. If you didn''t invite in, you caused trouble at our door and overturned the banquet at our house." "There is always a reason for this pile of things. Our family has 700 yuan at the table. No matter how other things are handled, you have to pay for this money." Making Mrs. Xu lose money is simply killing her! She was reluctant to take out her own money. So she didn''t dare to curse Lan Shu anymore, but continued to cry and renege on debts, this is her strong point! It''s a pity, Lan Shu doesn''t like her. She asked her elder brother, sister-in-law who heard the news to go out to see, and her adoptive mother to arrange other guests. She found a stool by herself, moved it over and sat down, quietly watching Mrs. Xu perform. As for Mrs. Xu''s grandson, Xu Fugui, he has been tied to a stool by Xiaobai and cannot move. Waited until two people came from the county law enforcement team. After learning about the situation, they prepared to take away Xu Fugui who said he was going to kill his whole family. Mother Xu understood the seriousness of the matter when she heard that her grandson was really going to be arrested by the law enforcement team! She only has this precious grandson, and she usually takes good care of her. How can she just watch her grandson being taken away and suffer? Moreover, once the grandson is taken away by the law enforcement team, he will be stigmatized. In the future, which big girl will marry into their Xu family to be his grandson''s wife? Mrs. Xu immediately pulled people from the law enforcement team, and once again relied on her age, she wanted to scatter to death! The members of the law enforcement team were really worried about what would happen to Mrs. Xu if she kept crying, and this matter was a bit difficult for a while... "Ms. Lan, can you let the Xu family pay some money for this matter?" A small leader of the law enforcement team suggested. When Mrs. Xu heard this, of course she didn''t want to lose money, but compared to losing money, she didn''t want her grandson to get into trouble. While Mrs. Xu was debating whether to pay some money to settle the matter, she found that Lan Shu didn''t give her a chance to choose at all! Lan Shu pointed to Mrs. Xu and Xu Fugui, and said to the law enforcement team, "The grandparents and grandchildren of the Xu family came to our banquet to make trouble. This matter is no longer just a matter of losing money." "Of course, if they overturned the table and injured my brother, the Xu family should pay for it." "As for Xu Fugui threatening to kill someone, if you don''t take him away, lock him up for a period of time and reform him. If any personal danger happens to our family, who can take responsibility for it?" Her attitude is very clear, the Xu family should lose money. In addition to this, the legal responsibility that should be borne cannot escape! Mrs. Xu didn''t expect Lan Shu to do things so well! She also really understood that this matter may not be easy to turn over¡ª She verbally threatened her with death, but Lan Shu didn''t like her at all. Mrs. Xu''s eyes struggled. She knew that if she didn''t show some seriousness today, her grandson might be in trouble and be taken away! So Mrs. Xu was cruel, and shouted, "Since you are going to force me to death, I will die for you!" After she finished speaking, as soon as she turned around, she slammed her head against the wall at the gate of Lan''s house¡ª Seeing that there was going to be a fatal accident, the law enforcement team was in a hurry, and the two immediately stepped forward to stop it! Mrs. Xu didn''t really want to risk her life, so she seemed to slam into it fiercely, but she was stopped by someone before she rushed to the wall¡ª "Oh! If you take my grandson away, I will die!" The matter that almost involved human life, the two people on the law enforcement team were afraid that the old lady would not think about it, and something really happened. So he didn''t dare to take the old lady''s grandson away too easily. When Xu Fugui saw this situation, he immediately became proud. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how many troubles he caused, it was grandma who helped him settle them. So he is not afraid of things at all. Anyway, someone is helping him~! He felt that grandma was working very hard today. If nothing else happened, he would be released in a while, and then he would go home safely. It''s a pity, he didn''t have enough of this meal at noon today. Grandma''s plastic bag also dropped all over the floor, so I couldn''t eat it. But it¡¯s okay, grandma spoils him and will buy him meat tomorrow. It¡¯s just that grandma¡¯s craftsmanship is not very good, and the meat she cooks doesn¡¯t have the taste of the restaurant. (end of this chapter) Chapter 554: Dont make trouble! Chapter 554 Must cause trouble! But Xu Fugui didn''t expect that things would develop differently from what he thought. Just listen to Lan Shu''s words, "The old lady is getting old and easy to get confused. Although she knows she is wrong and wants to apologize with death, this matter is actually not that serious. It is that their family pays some money, and his grandson was arrested for a few days. thing." "If the old lady really doesn''t want to live, then no one can stop her. Life and death depend on personal wishes, so don''t stop her." Lan Shu was sure that people like Mrs. Xu would never die. But to be on the safe side, she still added a sentence at the end of the sentence¡ª¡ª "If the old lady really disappeared in front of our house, don''t worry, everyone, out of humanitarianism, I don''t care about them overturning my family''s banquet." "But what happened to her grandson, what should be, or what should be, it is definitely not to blame." Lan Shu''s words were very clear, the old lady''s life was only worth seven hundred yuan. Other matters, even if the old lady is gone, she will pursue it to the end! If Mrs. Xu wants to die, then die, she will not stop. In addition, she will also persuade others not to stop them. Mrs. Xu was crying and howling after repeated trials and tribulations on weekdays, but when she arrived at Lanshu''s place, it was useless~! Mother Xu raised her head to look at Lan Shu, she suddenly felt the smile in the eyes of this little girl from the Lan family, as if she wished for her to die immediately! Thinking of this, she must not die, and she cannot follow Lan Shu''s wishes! Seeing Mrs. Xu calm down, Lan Shu said to the two county law enforcement officers, "You can take her away now. If the old lady wants to make trouble, then take her away together." "She loves her grandson dearly. If she is willing to accompany her grandson, then no one can stop her." "It''s simply because your law enforcement team has an extra room. If she wants to stay with her grandson for a few days, I can help her pay for the prison at the price of an outside guest house." Hearing what Lan Shu said, Mrs. Xu immediately jumped up angrily! If she were to live in prison for a few days at her age, she would be ashamed when she came out! You must be pointed at by the villagers behind your back! Although she felt sorry for her grandson, she couldn''t go in. She still has to stay outside and find a way to get her grandson out of it. Yes! She wants to hunt people out! She called her son who was earning money outside after a while, and asked him to find a way to see if he had any connections, and if he knew someone from the county law enforcement team... ¡­ That afternoon, Xu Fugui was taken away by the county law enforcement team. Mrs. Xu called her son and told what happened in the village. Now in Yangcheng, Xu Yunjie, who has returned to his old job as a contractor, learned that his mother took her son to eat noodles at Cenglan''s house in order to take advantage of that little advantage, but was taken away by the law enforcement team¡ª Xu Yunjie was so angry that his liver hurt! On the phone, he couldn''t help but yelled, "Did I treat you badly? It''s 2,000 yuan a month, which month I didn''t transfer it to you on time!" "Isn''t it enough to live a good life? You have to go out and cause trouble! Who is it wrong for you to provoke, but to provoke people from the Lan family! Can you afford to recruit the current Lan family?" When Xu Yunjie said this, he felt lingering fear. At the beginning, his business in Shencheng was doing well, but suddenly he was disliked by someone, and the situation became worse. Although it was difficult for him to do business during that time, it was not impossible for him to survive in Shencheng. But not long after, Xu Yunjie discovered that he seemed to have provoked some serious person again, so he could only leave Shencheng to live in another small city. Before he left, he invited a few people from the construction industry in Shencheng to have a meal. After inquiring, he learned that someone from the real estate branch of the Langu Group had confessed that his business could not continue! What else does Xu Yunjie not understand? It must be because Lan Shu ordered the people below to suppress him! At that time, he had clearly realized the gap between himself and Lan Shu. Facing Lan Shu, he was not qualified to confront Lan Shu head-on. He can only settle for the next best thing and go to a small city to develop¡ª At the beginning, he also made a wise choice. Although the real estate market prospects in small cities are not good, and the money is not as high as that in big cities, after so many years, he has also made some money. He remarried his wife, gave birth to two children, and was called "Boss Xu" outside. Xu Yunjie is very satisfied with his current life. He didn''t want to cause trouble, but his mother took his eldest son to provoke the Lan family on his own initiative! In case Lan Shu is angered by this, she will explain a few words casually, and her business will probably be difficult again! So when faced with the fact that his mother asked him to find connections and get his eldest son out of the county law enforcement team, Xu Yunjie became ruthless and made a decision! "Fugui is not young this year. Since he has done something wrong, he should bear the consequences. Let him stay inside for a few days. It is a lesson learned." "As for the compensation to the Lan''s family, I''ll ask the secretary to transfer 3,000 yuan to your card later, and then you can take the money to the Lan''s family, so don''t make trouble for me." Xu Yunjie said. When Mrs. Xu heard what her son said, it was completely different from what she thought at first! "Son, are you crazy? Wealth is yours! You actually watch him being imprisoned and don''t care?" "Also, the money you gave to the Lan family... I overturned the table at his house and it was only 700 yuan. Why should we pay them 3,000 yuan?!" Mrs. Xu is very important to money! She didn''t even want to pay the original 700 yuan, let alone the fact that her son asked her to give the Lan family 3,000 yuan. That was cutting her flesh! Xu Yunjie is quite clear about his mother''s money-keeping character, he knows his mother is reluctant to give money to others. But for offending the Lan family, if he can solve it with money, that would definitely be the best result for him! "Mom, out of the 3,000 yuan, 700 is for compensation, and the rest should be used as medical expenses for the rich and injured people." Xu Yunjie said. When Mrs. Xu heard this, she immediately became unhappy! "Wealth is nothing more than beating the youngest of the Lan family a few times, and the injury is not serious, so we have to pay them more than 2,000 yuan for medical expenses? Isn''t the youngest of their family just married a big star? Is that so expensive?!" Xu Yunjie didn''t want to continue to argue with his mother about the money, so he stopped discussing it, but spoke on the phone in an orderly tone. "Anyway, I will transfer the 3,000 yuan tomorrow, and then you don''t have to worry about anything, just hand over the money to the Lan family." Mrs. Xu could hear that her son was really angry, so she was no longer participating in the matter of losing money. As for how much to lose? When the time comes when the son transfers the money to her, isn''t it up to her to decide how much to withdraw to the Lan family? ! She had already figured it out, the table was seven hundred yuan, and as for the injury of the youngest of the Lan family, one hundred yuan was enough to buy safflower oil to wipe it off. After the phone call between Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu Yunjie ended, Mrs. Xu took 800 yuan to Lan''s house the next day to lose money. (end of this chapter) Chapter 555: little sister in charge Chapter 555 Little sister is in charge Tianshui Village, Lan''s house. Lan Shu originally planned to leave the next day after finishing the burning of paper and holding a banquet for her adoptive father''s first anniversary. But because of Mrs. Xu''s trouble and subsequent detention of Xu Fugui, she always has to wait for the result before she can leave in peace. At noon, Mrs. Xu came to the door. Lan Shu was quite surprised that Mrs. Xu was willing to pay for compensation. It was only after seeing Mrs. Xu that she took 800 yuan, and deducted 700 yuan for the table. Xu Fugui injured her third brother, and the Xu family only paid 100 yuan in compensation? This money is not even enough for the third brother to go to the hospital for an examination yesterday! But Lan Sibo didn''t want this matter to continue, so he shook his head at his little sister. said, "Let''s forget about it." The third brother thought about something, but Lan Shu had nothing to say. Although she feels wronged for the third brother in her heart, she also respects the third brother''s decision. Mrs. Xu was secretly grateful for the attitude of the Lan family after she saw that she had paid 800 yuan in compensation. Fortunately, she was not stupid and did not listen to her son. She saved more than 2,000 yuan in one fell swoop! There are more than two thousand yuan, and when her grandson comes out of the ''inside'', she will also buy some delicious supplements for her grandson. After giving the money, Mrs. Xu didn''t leave Lan''s house immediately. She glanced at Lan Shu, and then set her eyes on the brothers of the Lan family in the yard. In the courtyard, both Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo were there. Lan Xiuming was busy with his work, so he left the village last night and returned to Linjiang City with his wife. In Mrs. Xu''s heart, as the eldest brother of the Lan family, Lan Dazhuang must have the most say! So she asked Lan Dazhuang directly, "I have paid you the money, when will you let people release my grandson?" When Lan Dazhuang heard that Mrs. Xu still had such a request, he immediately frowned. On the other hand, Lan Shu said, "I said yesterday that your compensation and your grandson''s detention are two different things. If you want to know when he will come out, you shouldn''t ask us, but go to the county to ask the law enforcement. team." Regarding what happened yesterday, Lan Shu is not so angry now. Because the wicked will eventually get bad results, Xu Fugui was detained by the law enforcement team, which is what happened to Mrs. Xu who brought her grandson to make trouble! As soon as Mrs. Xu heard Lan Shu''s words, she changed her face and gave Lan Shu a hard look! "I''m talking to your elder brother, why are you a woman interrupting?" Even though Mrs. Xu had heard that Lan Shu was doing a big business outside, in her eyes, what she could see with her own eyes was Lan Dazhuang''s large-scale free-range chicken farm in the back mountain and the fruit processing near the village. factory. Besides, even though she is a woman herself, she looks down on women from the bottom of her heart. She thinks that a woman is a man''s vassal. No matter how well she does her job, she must listen to what a man says! Of course, Lan Dazhuang could hear Mrs. Xu''s contempt for her little sister from her words. This scene, Lan Shu is not angry yet, Lan Dazhuang can''t stand it anymore! "What''s the matter with the woman? In our house, my little sister is in charge!" Lan Sibo also added from the side, "Just because of your attitude towards my little sister just now, don''t even think about your grandson coming out so early!" When Mrs. Xu heard that the Lan family refused to ask the county law enforcement team to let his grandson out, how could this be possible? "My Fugui family is still young this year, how did I suffer so much?! I lost all my money, and your family is almost too!" For the sake of her grandson, Mrs. Xu spoke to the Lan family what she thought was soft words for the first time. But she heard Lan Shu say, "You have found the wrong person. Your grandson was taken away by the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team has the final say on how to deal with it." She just told the truth, but it made Mrs. Xu fly into a rage! In desperation, Mrs. Xu yelled at the Lan family! Fortunately, the Lan family is not to be bullied. As soon as Mrs. Xu cursed twice, Lan Dazhuang picked up the **** at the gate of the courtyard and greeted Mrs. Xu, trying to scare her away! Lan Sibo followed behind his elder brother, and rushed up with a shovel. In the kitchen, Tang Chu, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lan family, ran out with a big iron spoon in her hand. Lanjiatangwu, Chang Chunfang also came out to see the situation. Xiao Bai is not at home right now, he went to the free-range chicken farm in Houshan early in the morning, otherwise he would definitely be the first person to stand in front of his wife! When Mrs. Xu saw this scene, she was immediately terrified! She didn''t dare to scold any more, turned around and ran out of Lan''s house¡ª Failed to get the Lan family to agree to release her grandson, Mrs. Xu was so angry! On the way back, she murmured in her heart, if she knew she would not have lost money~! It was also because her son gave the money too happily, so she took the money to Lan''s house in time. Now that her grandson can''t get out of the law enforcement team, she can only call her son again and ask him to find a way. When the call came, Xu Yunjie was eating with someone at the table in the restaurant. When he saw that the call was from the landline at home in Tianshui Village, he hung up immediately! Mrs. Xu made a three-way call and no one answered. She also guessed that her son might be busy at the moment. So at three or four o''clock in the afternoon, she called again, and only then heard her son''s voice on the phone¡ª "Son, I sent the compensation money to the Lan family today, but the Lan family doesn''t care about wealth!" "I thought about it, Fugui can''t continue to stay with the law enforcement team. Seeing that Fugui has reached the age of looking for a wife, his reputation is very important!" Xu Yunjie didn''t even want to talk to Mrs. Xu. He already told his mother yesterday that his son will be released within a few days of detention. Is it necessary to repeat this matter to him? He is usually very busy! Seeing her son not talking on the phone, Mrs. Xu was a little unhappy. "Son, don''t you want to care about wealth? Even if you are married now and have sons and daughters, Fugui is also your first child and the grandson of our family. You can''t ignore him!" "In addition to getting him out of the law enforcement team, Fugui will need money to marry a wife. You have to prepare for Fugui." "Nowadays, marrying a better daughter-in-law costs 20,000 to 30,000 dowry gifts. Our family is rich but the eldest grandson. In addition to the dowry gift, we should also add some big things to the family." "Big color TV is definitely indispensable, washing machine, refrigerator, and air conditioner..." On the phone, Xu Yunjie listened to his mother rambling on asking him for money and home appliances. He often needs to advance funds when contracting projects. Recently, he doesn''t have enough money on hand, and now his mother wants to take money from him, he can''t stand it! "It''s true that Xu Fugui is my son, but he''s just a junior, what kind of eldest grandson?" Xu Yunjie said coldly. "If he wants to find a wife, then he will find a wife who doesn''t want a bride price! If he really finds such a wife, I will sell home appliances." "As for the rest, let''s talk about it later." (end of this chapter) Chapter 556: blackmail Chapter 556 Blackmail Xu Yunjie''s attitude made Mrs. Xu very angry! Because Xu Fugui was brought up by her alone! Although she has other grandsons and granddaughters, she is closest to Fugui. She has long seen that since his son married a new wife and had a grandson, he has become increasingly blind to wealth. But she always felt that wealth was born to her son after all, and if a son is rich, he will definitely not be stingy with his own children. But she didn''t expect that in her son''s heart, this is how wealth and honor are viewed? Because Fugui''s mother was the woman he took care of at the beginning, so even being rich has a low status? In recent years, Mrs. Xu can tell from her son''s attitude of seldom asking her, that she can see that she will not be able to rely on her son in the future. Fugui was raised by her alone, and she usually has one heart with her. Wealth will definitely be reliable in the future! So her grandma must help Fugui get the share of wealth that Fugui deserves from his son! Because apart from wealth, her son''s new wife, and the two little grandsons and granddaughters whom she doesn''t see once a year, it is conceivable that when she gets old, no one will care about her. She is being kind to Fugui now, and she is also paving the way for her future. On the phone, Xu Yunjie dealt with his wife impatiently, and then hung up. But not long after he hung up the phone, Mrs. Xu called again¡ª "Son, no matter which woman gave birth to Fugui, he is your own son!" "You can''t be eccentric. In the future, what you give Xiaohang and Yiyi must not be less rich!" Mrs. Xu said. A few years ago, Xu Yunjie started his business in Yangcheng. After he officially settled down, he married a wife in Yangcheng and gave birth to him a son and a daughter. Son Xu Hang is eight years old this year, and daughter Xu Yiyi is six years old this year. Neither of the two children, Mrs. Xu. It''s not that she doesn''t want to take it, but the new daughter-in-law doesn''t let her take it! Mrs. Xu knows very well that her new daughter-in-law does not want her to take too much care of the children, or puts it harshly because she despises her as an old lady in the village and thinks she can''t take care of children well! However, her son also has the kind of temperament that forgets his mother after marrying a wife, and he has the same idea as his wife. So now Mrs. Xu has a feeling that her son is no longer a family with herself, but with his wife. Xu Yunjie''s heart was immediately upset by Mrs. Xu''s words! He had already spoken clearly, but his mother deliberately pretended not to understand. "Can Fugui be compared with Xiaohang and Yiyi? How many years has Xu Fugui been in school?! He didn''t graduate from elementary school, and he knows how to hang around at home all day long!" "Xiaohang is different from Yiyi. Although the two children are still young, it seems that they will be capable in the future!" "Especially Xiaohang, whose academic performance ranks among the top ten in the class!" When mentioning his son, Xu Yunjie was proud of it. Such a child deserves to be his child! So, Xu Yunjie might as well talk to his mother more clearly¡ª "Xu Fugui has no future in this life. Since you want to fight for him, that''s fine. I''ll take care of his wedding gift. After he gets married, he will take care of him and stop asking me for money!" "Of course, Mom, I will still call you on time for your monthly living expenses, but I don''t care about Xu Fugui, he is also a big boy, and he won''t die of starvation if he goes out to do any work!" After finishing speaking, Xu Yunjie hung up the phone again. Next, even though Mrs. Xu kept calling him, he stopped answering. The angry old lady Xu''s heart hurts, her chest is so tight that she can''t breathe! Her hands trembled, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable, so she had to lie down and rest for a while. When Mrs. Xu went out the next day and talked to people, she realized that she was slurred. Looking in the mirror, her mouth is crooked! The news that Mrs. Xu''s mouth was crooked in anger spread throughout Tianshui Village within a day! Lan Dazhuang had just heard about this, when he came home at night, he met Mrs. Xu who came to him to speak to him¡ª "It''s all because of you guys from the Lan family. I''m so angry that I cringe. You must be responsible for this matter!" Although Mrs. Xu knew about her crooked mouth, she was probably angry with her son, but what can she say about her own son? So the only ones who should be responsible for her are the brothers and sisters of the Lan family who also quarreled with her the day before~! In her own situation, if the Lan family doesn''t pay a large sum of money, she will never give up! Because the Xu family lost the money yesterday, the Lan family had already received it, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai drove back to Kyoto early this morning, carrying Lan Sibo and Chang Chunfang. Tang Chu didn''t want to be with her mother-in-law, so she said she would stay in Tianshui Village for two days before leaving. So Mrs. Xu couldn''t find the daughter of the Lan family, so she could only blame this matter on Lan Dazhuang, the eldest brother of the Lan family! Lan Dazhuang is an honest person, seeing Mrs. Xu really twisted his mouth, even though Mrs. Xu brought her grandson to his father''s first anniversary banquet two days ago, overturned his family''s banquet, and beat his third brother and injured him. But the crooked mouth is not a trivial matter, so he is already thinking about how to compensate. On the contrary, Tang Chu saw from the eyes of Mrs. Xu that she was justifiably asking for money, but she didn''t feel angry at all. If Mrs. Xu''s crooked mouth is really because of being popular with their blue family, then why isn''t she angry? This is too unreasonable! So obviously, there may be another reason for Mrs. Xu''s crooked mouth! "You said that your crooked mouth is because of my family. Is there any evidence for this?" "You came to our house to make trouble the day before yesterday. It was fine yesterday, but something went wrong today. It would have happened long ago. How can we wait until now?" Tang Chu''s words made Mrs. Xu panic. There was a guilty expression on her face! Then Mrs. Xu said stiffly, "It''s because of your family. If you didn''t quarrel with me and made me so angry, how could I have twisted my mouth?" Tang Chu''s reaction when she saw Mrs. Xu, her previous suspicions were almost confirmed now. Tang Chu is neither stupid nor stupid, and she is also very good at observing the situation and seeing the situation clearly. Otherwise, she would not have become Lan Shu''s secretary. So facing Mrs. Xu who wanted to blame them for the matter, Tang Chu really couldn''t admit it for nothing and be taken advantage of! "The quarrel was also something you brought your grandson to our door to find. Besides, you said that your mouth was twisted by us. Who can prove it?" "If this is the case, then I can also say that your mouth is crooked because of your own faults, and it has nothing to do with us!" Although Tang Chu came out of the county seat, because of her complicated family relationship, when she was a child, she often saw this kind of behavior of the old lady messing around. Now facing Mrs. Xu, she is not timid at all! "Although our family is not short of money, not everyone can come to blackmail. If you really plan to continue blackmailing, then we can only invite people from the county law enforcement team to uphold justice for us!" Tang Chu said, smiled at Mrs. Xu, and continued. "I don''t know who will come out first, you or your grandson?" (end of this chapter) Chapter 557: addicted to Chapter 557 Addicted Lan Dazhuang never knew that his daughter-in-law had such a sharp mouth~! Seeing his daughter-in-law''s few words made Mrs. Xu lose her timidity, and Lan Dazhuang also noticed that Mrs. Xu''s crooked mouth may have something else to do. At least it should have nothing to do with their family! So he stopped thinking about compensation. Since it wasn''t their fault, why should they compensate Mrs. Xu? Thinking of this, Lan Dazhuang stopped talking nonsense to Mrs. Xu, but took a step forward, standing in front of Tang Chu. "What my daughter-in-law said is what I mean! If you dare to blackmail our family, then we can only invite someone from the county law enforcement team!" Mrs. Xu saw her thoughts being seen through by Lan Dazhuang and his wife. Of course, she didn''t dare to meet with the county law enforcement team. She was afraid that after her grandson, she would go in too! So Mrs. Xu, who came aggressively to ask for money and an explanation, could only leave in despair... Although the Lan family was not implicated in her crooked mouth, after all, there was something wrong with her mouth. Apart from slurred speech, eating and drinking were also hindered. So after Mrs. Xu went back, she called her son and wanted to get some money from him to go to the hospital. But she didn''t expect it, because yesterday she had a few words with her son on the phone for her eldest grandson, but today her son didn''t answer her call at all! Although Mrs. Xu can receive 2,000 yuan from her son every month, 2,000 yuan is enough to support a large family in rural areas. But because she spoils her eldest grandson too much on weekdays, she always prepares fish and meat for her eldest grandson. Plus the eldest grandson will go to the county town to eat some delicious food every now and then, so two thousand yuan is really not a lot. Basically every month, she and her eldest grandson can spend all the money~! So Mrs. Xu doesn''t have much spare money to go to the hospital to see a doctor. As for the 3,000 yuan transferred by her son yesterday, she paid the Lan family 800 yuan, leaving more than 2,000 yuan. She intends to keep the money for the eldest grandson, and spend it after the eldest grandson comes out. So Mrs. Xu didn''t go to the hospital to see her crooked mouth disease. She was going to call her son when she was going to get through, and asked for money before going. Anyway, it doesn''t matter if her mouth is crooked for a few days. ¡­ After a few days, Mrs. Xu, who had a crooked mouth, got used to her crooked mouth. She called her son every day, but Xu Yunjie never answered. A week later, Xu Fugui was first detained by the law enforcement team and released. Xu Fugui squatted inside for a few days, but he came out quite honestly. He saw grandma''s mouth crooked, even though grandma said she was angry about the Lan family''s affairs, so she crooked her mouth, but he didn''t dare to go to the Lan''s house to cause trouble again. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu doesn''t care about these. On the contrary, she was afraid that once her eldest grandson stood up for her, and the Lan family called the law enforcement team to take her eldest grandson away, the loss would outweigh the gain! After the eldest grandson came out, Mrs. Xu bought several catties of meat, and gave her grandson three meals a day to replenish his body. Xu Fugui was very happy to see grandma treat him so well. So he asked grandma, "Are you rich again?" Mrs. Xu did not hide anything from her grandson. She immediately transferred 3,000 yuan from her son, and she compensated the Lan family 800 yuan, and told her grandson about the remaining 2,000 yuan. When Xu Fugui heard that his family had money, he hurriedly asked his grandma for some, saying that he would go to the county town for a few days. Although Xu Fugui grew up in the countryside, because he often travels to the county town, he still knows the situation in the county town very well. Usually when he goes to the county town, he not only eats some delicious food, but also occasionally goes to the Internet cafe in the county town to play games. Games are extremely attractive to teenagers like him! Especially a new game that was released not long ago. The characters are good-looking and the operation is simple. Even if he is a novice in the game, he can get started quickly. It''s just that this game consumes points to play, and he often doesn''t have that much money, so he is not willing to play. But now it''s different. Grandma gave him more than 200 yuan this time! Xu Fugui recharged the game, plus went to the Internet cafe, played for three full days before coming out of the Internet cafe. In the past three days, he played in the dark, almost day and night. When he was hungry, he would make noodles in the Internet cafe to make do with it. This time he was having fun, but when he came out of the Internet cafe, he felt dizzy and his steps were a little sloppy. But it doesn''t matter, he is young and in good health, he can recover after going home and sleeping well. Xu Fugui took the car from the county town to the village, and went home to eat and drink. After resting, he asked his grandma for money to go to the Internet cafe to play. The exhilarating game experience a few days ago made him a little addicted. Before the game went offline, he made an appointment with the netizens on the game to form a team together in a few days. He couldn''t break his promise, and Mrs. Xu doted on her grandson, so Mrs. Xu didn''t think much about it, so she gave her grandson money again. Mrs. Xu even thought that it was a good thing for her eldest grandson to always go to the county town like this! If grandson can meet friends in the county, he might be able to find a job in the county in the future. Besides, her grandson is going to marry a wife in the future, and her ideal is to let her grandson find one in the county. So grandsons go out to the county more often and get in touch with more people, which is not bad! Just like that, Xu Fugui spent more and more time in the county town because of his wealth. When he has spent all the money in his grandma''s hands and wants to continue playing games, he can only find a way to make money by himself. It happened that the Internet cafe was recruiting network administrators, so Xu Fugui told his grandmother that he had found a job in the county town, and he might have less time to return to the village in the future. This news made Mrs. Xu very happy. Sure enough! She was right, her grandson could find a job if he went to the county more often! Now that you have a job, isn''t it easy for the eldest grandson to find a grandson-in-law in the next step? So she agreed with her eldest grandson to go to the county seat. Every month her son Xu Yunjie transfers 2,000 yuan to her, and she will take out 1,000 yuan to her grandson as her subsidized living expenses. Xu Fugui works as a network administrator in an Internet cafe, with a salary of 600 yuan a month, and the Internet is free. Plus his grandma gave him a thousand yuan, he has sixteen hundred yuan a month, and about one thousand and two thousand dollars are spent on games! The remaining three or four hundred yuan is his monthly food expenses. ¡­ A month or two passed, and Xu Fugui lived and ate in the Internet cafe. Except for going back to Tianshui Village every month to get some money from grandma, he hardly sees the sun outside the rest of the time. Continuing on like this, Xu Fugui obviously felt physically exhausted. But whenever he plays games, he puts all his energy into it! ¡­ Four months later, summer vacation. It was time for Xu Fugui to go back to the village to get money from his grandma. Compared to four months ago, Xu Fugui''s body is now a little thinner, and his skin is no longer the healthy dark complexion that he tanned in the village before. He didn''t see much light for four months, so he covered it up a little. Now his complexion is a little sallow, and he looks sluggish. (end of this chapter) Chapter 558: retribution? Chapter 558 Retribution? Xu Fugui came out of the Internet cafe, and the glare of the sun, which was completely opposite to the dark environment in the Internet cafe, made him unable to open his eyes for a while. He stood firmly at the door of the Internet cafe, slightly dizzy. Because of long-term consumption of those instant noodles with little nutrition, his body is no longer the same as when he was in the village. Weakness and powerlessness, so clear that he could feel it himself. Xu Fugui decided to ask his grandma to make him some delicious supplements after returning home. He has already figured it out, he wants to eat meat and bones and drink bone soup, I heard that it is the most nutritious! Take the car from the county seat to the village. Because the road was repaired a few years ago, it only takes half an hour to get to the village. Xu Fugui was too tired in the car, so he fell asleep sitting up. When the car arrived at the stop, he was woken up. He felt light-headed when he just woke up. Xu Fugui sat for a while, then stood up and walked out of the car. He got out of the car and was walking towards the entrance of the village, when suddenly his eyes went dark¡ª The body fell down uncontrollably! The next second, he lost consciousness¡ª ¡­ When Xu Fugui woke up again, he heard grandma crying. Xu Fugui found that he could not move his body. Judging from the surrounding environment, this is a hospital. When chatting with an elderly couple who were sick in the hospital bed next door, Xu Fugui learned from their regretful tone that he had a cerebral thrombosis at such a young age! I''m afraid he won''t be able to get out of bed again in this life... Xu Fugui''s cerebral thrombosis is relatively serious. He tried to speak, but his voice was vague, making it difficult for people to understand. Xu Fugui hopes that his illness can be cured with money. It''s a pity that he heard from his grandma that when his father heard that he had a cerebral thrombosis and couldn''t get out of bed, in addition to transferring 20,000 yuan to see a doctor, he didn''t care about Xu Fugui''s son in the future! And Mrs. Xu, who is in her seventies, will take care of her grandson who is paralyzed in bed. If she doesn''t care, her eldest grandson will just lie down and die¡ª Knowing the result, Mrs. Xu''s eyes were almost blinded from crying! She can no longer wait for her grandson to take care of her in the future. On the contrary, how long her eldest grandson can live depends on how long she can live. This made Mrs. Xu think, did she do something terrible in her previous life? Only in this life will I be punished! She doesn''t want to admit how many immoral things she has done in her life... ¡­ The other side, Kyoto. Summer vacation is here, and before the vacation, Gu Zerui did a test paper issued by the school. Finally, his grades were unanimously approved by the school teachers, so in the next semester, he can directly advance from senior one to senior three. The 16-year-old senior high school student is definitely the only one in their school! Gu Zerui did not become complacent because of this. He has a goal in his heart, and he is always working towards that goal¡ª ¡­ At the same time, Qin''s family in Kyoto. Although Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui''s living conditions are completely different, her heart is exactly the same as that of her younger brother, and they both have a goal. It has been a year since Gu Qingning gave birth to her son. In the past year, while taking care of the children, she has not given up on her studies. The son is already one year old, and she plans to go back to school next semester and then go on to graduate school. Qin Tianyi learned about his wife''s thoughts, and he knew that his wife was not the kind of woman who was content with peace. In order to support his wife''s ideals, Qin Tianyi bought a house not far from the university where his wife was studying for graduate school. The house has been decorated as early as half a year ago. In a few months, when Gu Qingning starts school, he will move to the new house with his son. In this way, the school is less than five minutes away from the house, and the wife can go home to see her son every day. One-year-old ''Xiao Qin'' has begun to develop language skills. Because of his strong body, Xiao Qin was able to walk by himself when he was eleven months old. Xiao Qin, who grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, has attracted much attention for his every move. Especially half a month ago, when Xiao Qin was one year old, the Qin family spent a huge amount of money to organize a birthday banquet for Xiao Qin, which can be said to be famous in the upper circles of Kyoto! This made many people say that Xiao Qin really knows how to reincarnate. His start is the end point that many people cannot reach in their lifetime¡ª And all of this, Xiao Qin, who is still a milk baby, can''t feel it at all. His daily life is only hungry, eating, peeing, and pooping. Sometimes you are too self-willed, and you will be slapped by your mother! Xiao Qin, who was dressed as a young master, opened his mouth wide and cried ''Wow~'', tears dripping down his face, looking aggrieved. But he is a child, he doesn''t hold grudges at all, and in a blink of an eye, he is a good baby who loves his mother... Under Gu Qingning''s education, Xiao Qin gradually became less willful. Gu Qingning hopes that when his son grows up, he will become a talent who can contribute to society, instead of being spoiled by the family as a small waste. So starting from this day, Gu Qingning made a decision. She wants to unite with the family to conceal the fact that the family has superior conditions, making Xiao Qin feel that he is a child born and raised in an ordinary family. When Xiao Qin became an adult, he had his own judgment and opinions, and they told Xiao Qin, ''In fact, you were already sitting on billions of dollars in property when you were born...'' I believe that Xiao Qin will be given a big surprise by then! ¡­ This summer, Lan Juncheng, who joined the orchestra abroad and performed a world tour, returned to China. Lan Juncheng came back this time with the intention of marrying his girlfriend Qiao Qian. Josie is Chinese, her parents settled abroad thirty years ago. Although Josie was born and raised abroad, her Mandarin is not inferior to the young people who grew up in China. Although Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu only met Josie once, they had a good impression of her. Knowing that their son is going to get married, of course the parents will fully support it! Although the son may seldom be in China for many years, Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu still prepared a wedding room for their son in Kyoto. There are houses both at home and abroad. After they get married, they can live wherever they want. Here, after Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu agreed to their son''s marriage, they will go abroad to meet Qiao Qian''s parents. Parents on both sides should sit together and discuss the marriage of their children. Although it was not the first time for Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu to go abroad, they did not spend much time abroad. Fortunately, Josie''s parents are both Chinese, otherwise there may be some obstacles in the communication between the two parties. ¡­ When Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu went abroad to worry about their son''s marriage, some major events happened in China. A few years ago, Lanshu invested some money in several cutting-edge fields in China for creation and research. Now some investments have achieved gratifying results. The ultra-thin and ultra-small chips developed by several domestic top engineers in the field of chip research and development have been successfully applied to mobile phones! (end of this chapter) Chapter 559: overbearing The mobile phone of the electronic information company under Langu Group has been upgraded from the previous large-screen color-screen mobile phone to a smart phone in one fell swoop! This indicates that the era of smart phones will usher in the country¡ª With such a mobile phone, people''s life will be more convenient! While the smartphone is about to be launched and will soon cover the domestic market, Lan Shu seized the time and deployed more than a dozen sales, operation and planning talents from various departments of the group. Recruited dozens of computer elites from outside. She wants to form a new type of online e-commerce department! Nowadays, e-commerce has not started for too long. Although some people already buy things online through e-commerce websites, there are not many such people. E-commerce websites have not yet become an indispensable shopping platform for the general public. With the advent of smart phones ahead of time, if smart phones are used as carriers and supporting e-commerce software services, it may take a few years for mobile shopping to replace online shopping using computers to a greater extent. Lan Shu is no stranger to the series of follow-up processes of mobile APP shopping. She wrote the development plan very quickly. The e-commerce department established by the follow-up company only needs to follow the framework of her plan and continuously fill in the details to develop smoothly¡ª In the next two decades, ordinary people will rely more and more on e-commerce. Gradually, e-commerce will even greatly affect the development of physical commerce. So for entering the e-commerce industry and becoming an e-commerce giant, Lan Shu is bound to win! With e-commerce, of course, corresponding fast logistics is required. Nowadays, the domestic logistics industry is still relatively backward, and it takes a long time to mail things. It is not as fast as later generations, and the logistics outlets extend in all directions. Lan Shu didn''t plan to start a logistics company again, but bought a relatively mature logistics company in the market today with a lot of money. In this way, some existing outlets of the logistics company can be used directly. In the future, it is only necessary to develop and expand the existing logistics company and continue to build outlets. After Lan Shu finished working on the e-commerce structure and logistics development direction, the hottest July of the year has passed. In early August, it was Gu Zerui''s birthday. Gu Zerui is sixteen years old this year, and his family celebrates his birthday every year, and this year is no exception. Lan Shu personally made a birthday cake for her son, while Xiao Bai gave her son a computer with the latest configuration. Although Gu Qingning is married, she remembers her brother''s birthday very clearly. On this day, Gu Qingning took her husband and son back to her natal home, and made a special trip to celebrate her younger brother''s birthday. In the past, she always gave gifts to her younger brother. Her elder sister knew exactly what his younger brother liked. But now, she has been married for three years, because she is often not by her brother''s side, so she no longer knows his brother''s preferences like the back of his hand. After thinking about it, Gu Qingning simply wrapped a big red envelope for his younger brother and asked him to buy whatever he likes. The whole family sat together and happily ate a meal. Gu Zerui''s birthday passed like this. Gu Qingning didn''t go home that night, but lived in his bedroom before he got married. Although she is married, the family will always keep her room. Gu Qingning told her mother about her going to graduate school at the beginning of school. Lan Shu certainly supports this. Lan Shu has already learned from Xiaobai that her son''s preference is in games. She doesn''t object to her son''s choice, on the contrary, she is very clear that the future development of the game will make the game a competitive game, and professional players can win glory for the country. She was worried that after her daughter got married and had children, she might not be so active in managing the company in the future. Seeing that her daughter is still motivated, she finally breathed a sigh of relief¡ª ¡­ In September, school starts. Gu Zerui entered the third year of high school, and Gu Qingning also entered the school and began to study for graduate school. After graduating from university, Gu Qingning stayed at home for two years because of pregnancy and childbirth. The students who were in the same grade as Gu Qingning at the beginning basically went out to look for jobs after graduating from university. Only a few continue to study in graduate school, and now graduate students are about to graduate. Calculated in this way, she started a little late. But even so, no one would underestimate Gu Qingning. After all, the family background is there. Even if Gu Qingning didn''t go to graduate school, she could still enter a top company and find a good job. Even when she enters the workplace, she is directly in the leadership! To Gu Qingning''s surprise, Lu Xiang, who was married to Gao Lin and married Gao Lin, went back to school to study. And just in the same class as her! Lu Xiang actually started working after graduating from university. The Gao family is still a wealthy family after all, so it is not difficult to find a job for their son-in-law. After graduating, Lu Xiang went directly to the big hotel where the Gao family had a stake, and became the deputy manager of the hotel to manage the hotel. For a while, Lu Xiang was really famous outside. In the big hotel, he could be heard calling him Manager Lu every day. But he just relied on his father-in-law''s face to get the job. Besides, he didn''t specialize in hotel management. After working for half a year, he didn''t learn the essence of this profession. Because of lack of ability, and the hotel manager has someone who wants to be promoted, for various reasons, even his father-in-law''s face is not good, so he lost his job like this. Afterwards, Lu Xiang relied on the Gao family''s relationship to find a professional counterpart job. Lu Xiang''s professional ability is not outstanding. He has limited ability in his work and does not have a prominent background. When he encounters many opportunities, he can see them, but he can''t grasp them. So his salary level is only higher than that of ordinary workers, but it has not improved dramatically. After working in this job for a year, he decided to resign. Lu Xiang could tell that in the same industry, other colleagues were college students just like him, and his background was not competitive at all. If he wants a high salary and is valued by the leader, he can only continue to study and improve his diploma. So Lu Xiang, two years after graduation, chose to continue his graduate studies. Lu Xiang was also very surprised, he was actually in the same class as Gu Qingning! After entering school, Gu Qingning was in a bad mood when he discovered this situation. Qin Tianyi found out that his little wife was in a bad mood that night, and after asking, he found out that Lu Xiang had also gone to graduate school! Qin Tianyi comforted his wife, then made an excuse to go for a walk, and called the Gao family as soon as he went out. "I don''t care what method you use, let Lu Xiang leave the school as soon as possible!" "Just think of me as overbearing, Lu Xiang is at school, he will only upset my wife!" With Qin Tianyi''s words, a few days later, Lu Xiang really stopped going to school. Gu Qingning later heard that Lu Xiang seemed to have an opportunity to study abroad, so he left his wife Gao Lin without hesitation and chose to study abroad. Chapter 560: maintenance issues September ended, and in October, Gu Qingning was at school, and there was no one around her that was an eyesore. She went to graduate school very smoothly. The new home is relatively close to the school, and she can even go home for a meal at noon before going to school. The elders of the Qin family have no objection to the daughter-in-law''s eagerness to learn. Qin Tianyi spared more time to look after his son so that his wife could rest assured about the situation at home. The only one who doesn''t want Gu Qingning to go to school is Xiao Qin. Xiao Qin feels that he sees his mother less and less recently! He wants to sit in his mother''s arms and listen to stories, let his mother sleep with him, and wants to see his mother when he opens his eyes. But every time he wakes up, his mother is gone... Xiao Qin is very sad. The lack of mother not being around cannot be made up by the company of father. Fortunately, everyone has a process of adaptation. Slowly, Xiao Qin got used to his mother having her mother''s things to do. As a good baby, he can''t always pester his mother. When Xiao Qin was one and a half years old, it was already December. The weather gradually cooled down, and Xiao Qin became much more sensible than before. On weekends, Gu Qingning and her husband Qin Tianyi would take their son to the playground to play. Although the parents-in-law and mother-in-law have built a family version of the playground for their grandchildren, human beings live in groups, and children are no exception. Compared with adults, they prefer to play with children of the same age. No matter how good the playground built at home is, he is the only one who can play. A playground like this will give a child a sense of freshness for a while, but soon he will feel bored and don''t want to play anymore. So there are more children in the playground outside, which is where Xiao Qin prefers to go. Every time Xiao Qin went to the playground, Xiao Qin had a great time. He even made a few funfair one-day friends. Children''s happiness is so simple~! ¡­ Time flies by, and it will soon be the time of the Chinese New Year. Before the new year, the year-end summary of Langu Group, this year, as in previous years, was arranged to be held in the big hotel opened by the Qin family in Kyoto. Now in the catering industry in Kyoto, although the Kyoto Hotel is still famous and even a landmark, there are also other restaurants that have risen rapidly in recent years. Among them, the Qin family opened a chain of star hotels all over the country, which is one of them. The Qin family''s star hotel is also the most comparable to the Kyoto Hotel in Kyoto! In the past, the year-end dinner of Langu Group was held in the Kyoto Hotel. But in the past two or three years, because of the in-law relationship between Lan Shu and the Qin family, any internal banquets and receptions of the Lan Gu Group will be held at the Qin family''s restaurant. With the leadership of the Langu Group, other companies and enterprises in the Kyoto circle will gradually give priority to the Qin family''s chain restaurants for events that require large-scale dinners. The Qin family''s catering business has improved a lot of performance! At the year-end dinner, this year''s year-end summary, all departments of the group have produced outstanding results. Especially the film and television department, and the electronic information department. The income of the film and television department in the past year has increased by more than 50% compared with the previous year. As for the electronic information department, because of the successful research and development of smart phones, with the launch of smart phones in the second half of the year, the sales of only mobile phones have doubled compared to the previous year! And that¡¯s not counting the new e-commerce division. Although the e-commerce department has just started, registered users have exceeded 100,000! In the future, as the sales of smart phones will increase, the number of users and orders on the e-commerce platform will also increase¡ª Both Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui attended the group''s year-end dinner today. Gu Qingning will take over the Langu Group in the future. Even if Gu Zerui wants to develop in the direction of games in the future, before that, Lan Shu will definitely not directly exclude him from being the heir of Lan Gu Group. She will let her son take a look at the size of the group and ask her son to understand the situation of the group. If the son changes his mind, there is still time. She will train her son well, and in the future, she will hand over the affairs of the group to her daughter and son to jointly manage and manage it. It''s a pity that Gu Zerui has made up his mind. Even if he knows that when he grows up and joins the group, he will have a better future. But at this age, he only wants to fight for his love¡ª But today''s year-end banquet made Gu Zerui understand the strength of his mother more clearly! He heard from his sister before that the group''s current scale was developed by his mother. Like his sister, he adores his mother. And since he has chosen to develop in the direction of the game in the future, then he must also make achievements! Only in that way can he feel not ashamed and be able to give his mother an explanation. ¡­ After the group''s year-end banquet, Chinese New Year will follow. This year Chang Chunfang is still celebrating the New Year with her third son in Kyoto. Lan Sibo gave birth to a daughter in his forties, and now his daughter is almost two years old, and Yu Xia usually takes care of her. In order to take care of her daughter, Yu Xia has half-retired from the music scene. Chang Chunfang lives with her third son and third daughter-in-law, and she usually helps take care of her little granddaughter. It''s just that her and Yu Xia''s concept of raising children is very different, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law respect each other as guests from the beginning, but later because of her various indulgences to the children, the child under two years old has bad habits! Yu Xia spent a lot of effort to correct these bad habits of her daughter. Whenever Yu Xia''s discipline made some progress, all previous efforts would be for naught under Chang Chunfang, the grandma''s pampering of the child¡ª Yu Xia talked to her mother-in-law about these issues many times, but Chang Chunfang is probably old and just wants to spoil the child! The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eventually had conflicts and quarreled repeatedly on the issue of children''s education! Yu Xia feels that if this continues, she and her mother-in-law will no longer be able to live together. Even for the future of the child, she has to live separately from her mother-in-law! Yu Xia''s idea made Lan Sibo feel a little embarrassed. Although Lan Sibo can buy another house with his wife and move out of this house. But in that case, he would just leave his own mother here to live alone... Fucking old, living alone, somewhat uneasy. At this time, Yu Xia mentioned the matter that the three brothers of the Lan family had discussed before, taking turns to support the elderly. If the mother-in-law can live with her elder brother and second brother for a few months every year, at least she can use these months to correct her daughter''s bad habits. In that way, her error correction can be effective. After listening to his wife''s thoughts, Lan Sibo felt that what she said made sense. And he did see a problem with his daughter. So Lan Sibo talked about it when he and his eldest brother and his family got together for dinner during the Chinese New Year. Chapter 561: filial son Chapter 561 Filial Son Of course, Lan Dazhuang will not evade the matter of supporting his mother. Even though there was a relationship between Tang Chu and her mother-in-law, when it was her turn to live in her house, her mother-in-law lived with her husband in Tianshui Village instead of staying in the capital. So of course she''s okay with that. As for Lan Xiuming, the second son of the Lan family, based on Lan Dazhuang''s understanding of his second brother, his brother will definitely agree. But this matter was just discussed by the three brothers to no avail, Chang Chunfang was angry! "When I was too old to walk, you started to dislike me?!" "You don''t even want me to live with you, so just leave me alone and let me fend for myself!" Chang Chunfang said angry words. She knew that her sons would never leave her alone, so she dared to say that. Sure enough, when Lan Sibo heard his mother''s words, he immediately became embarrassed¡ª¡ª Lan Dazhuang on the side also persuaded, "Mom, how could we dislike you? Didn''t I want to take you home?" "And you have lived in the third brother''s house for more than a year, so it''s time for me and the second brother to be filial by your side." Lan Dazhuang''s words sound reasonable, but among the three sons, Chang Chunfang doesn''t want to be with the eldest son the most. It would be fine if the eldest son lived in Kyoto, but just like his father, her eldest son only thinks that the village is good, and lives in the village most of the year. Even if she lives with the second son, she is more comfortable than living with the eldest son. Chang Chunfang felt that she was already so old, and she wanted to think more about herself, wouldn''t it be better to live more comfortably? Aside, Lan Dazhuang could tell from his mother''s expression that his mother was very reluctant to live with him. He can probably understand that his mother is used to living with the third brother and doesn''t want to leave the capital. But Lan Dazhuang couldn''t let his third brother take care of his mother completely. And since the third brother proposed that the three brothers take turns taking care of my mother, there must be something that made the third brother not want my mother to follow them all the time. Lan Dazhuang could probably guess the reason. So even if his mother didn''t want to, Lan Dazhuang continued, "Mom, taking turns taking care of you is something we three brothers discussed at the beginning. You always live at the third brother''s house, which is not appropriate." Of course Chang Chunfang knows that she has been living in the third child''s house, which is unfair to the third child. So she thought of an idea¡ª She turned her head and said to her eldest son, "Otherwise, you and the second child will pay the living expenses of the third child every month, and I will just live in the third child''s house." At this time, not only Lan Dazhuang and Lan Sibo were at the dining table. Tang Chu and Yu Xia, the daughters-in-law of the Lan family, were also present. When Yu Xia heard her mother-in-law''s idea, she immediately panicked! "Our family does not lack that little money." She said. She just needs the mother-in-law to be able to separate from her daughter for a while. Correcting her daughter''s problems is the most important thing. So for the sake of her daughter''s future, at this moment, Yu Xia must also explain clearly! "Mom, this is not a matter of money or not. Since the three brothers made an agreement at the beginning, they should do as they said." "Sibo and I have absolutely no intention of not supporting you. We should have done it, and we will definitely do it! But we shouldn''t have done it, so you can''t force it on us, right?" Yu Xia expressed her attitude very clearly. If Chang Chunfang still pretends not to understand, then she is pretending to be confused. Hearing what the third daughter-in-law said, Chang Chunfang was so angry that she wanted to throw something! But at this moment, Lan Sibo''s voice also sounded¡ª "Mom, don''t be angry. Although Xia Xia''s words are not pleasant, it is not unreasonable." "My eldest brother and second brother and I clearly want to support you. You can''t just say that we don''t care about you just because you are used to living with me and don''t want to go to the elder brother''s or second brother''s house." "You say that, it will make the three of us brothers feel cold..." As Lan Sibo spoke, he couldn''t help sighing tiredly. But even so, he couldn''t ignore his mother. Lan Sibo continued, "Originally, the three of us took turns taking care of you. This is the best arrangement. If you disagree, we have other ways to solve it." "For example, if we ask a nanny to take care of you, you would like to live in Linjiang City or Kyoto." "There is a place to live in Linjiang City. As for Kyoto, Xia Xia and I will buy another house for you to live in." Before Lan Sibo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Chunfang''s scolding voice! "Third! You dislike me so much? You don''t want me to live with you, do you?!" Chang Chunfang was really angry. She never thought that her own son would not want to live with her! "Since the son I raised is so heartless, then you will no longer be my son, and I will not be your mother!" Under her anger, she spoke indiscriminately and vented all kinds of anger. "Don''t worry! I won''t hinder the lives of you two anymore!" Chang Chunfang said, and stood up from the dining table in a ''crazy-'' way. She turned her head and said to the eldest son beside her, "Da Zhuang, I will live with you from now on!" Chang Chunfang felt that she could handle her eldest son easily, so she said so with certainty. But when these words came out of her mouth, Tang Chu on the side was stunned¡ª Tang Chu was not sure what the mother-in-law meant, whether she wanted to live with the eldest son? Or do you want to live in this house now? If she were to live with her mother-in-law, Tang Chu would definitely not be happy either. But even if she doesn''t want to, if her mother-in-law insists on staying, she can''t help it. It''s just that she and her mother-in-law will be under the same roof in the future, and there will definitely be conflicts. It''s not that she has to find trouble with her mother-in-law. It was her mother-in-law who made the second and third daughters-in-law unwilling to live with her. Tang Chu didn''t think he would be able to get along with her mother-in-law. Aside, Lan Dazhuang heard what the **** was going on. Damn, this is determined to live in Kyoto! If the third child cannot live at home, she will live in her own home. Lan Dazhuang certainly has no objection to taking care of his old lady. It is just that his mother and his wife live in the same house, Lan Dazhuang is worried. He glanced at his wife and asked for advice. And Tang Chu felt her man''s embarrassed eyes, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The mother-in-law lives in the homes of her three sons in turn. She spends up to four months a year with her mother-in-law, and the patience passes. With his wife''s consent, Lan Dazhuang was relieved. He comforted his mother and said, "Mom, you can stay with me." Seeing this, Chang Chunfang had a smile on his face. She glanced at the third son and the third daughter-in-law, and said in a cold tone, "See, I always have a filial son!" Chang Chunfang''s words were equivalent to saying that Lan Sibo was not filial, which made Lan Sibo''s face turn pale. Lan Sibo didn''t expect that he and his wife took care of his mother for more than a year, but ended up with an unfilial evaluation! (end of this chapter) Chapter 562: no gifts Chapter 562 No gifts And just now his mother said that there will be no son like him in the future... Lan Sibo was so cold that he even wanted to take this sentence seriously. But in the end, he still couldn''t be so cold-blooded and ruthless. After all, his mother gave birth to him and raised him, so he should take care of him. As for his mother¡¯s quarrels and temper tantrums, when it¡¯s his turn to take care of his mother later, he will still take his mother to live at home. Because of the quarrel between Chang Chunfang and Lan Sibo, the son, Lan Sibo didn''t stay at the eldest brother''s house for too long, so he left with his wife and went to pick up his daughter at the younger sister''s house nearby. After they went to the eldest brother''s house this morning, they took their mother to the elder brother''s house, and the two went to the younger sister''s house again. Just happened to meet the eldest niece Gu Qingning''s family returning to her natal home. The children of the eldest niece''s family are not much different in age from his daughter. The two little guys met for the first time, and they hit it off very well, and they played together very quickly. So Lan Sibo and Yu Xia temporarily left their daughter at the younger sister''s house, letting the two children play together for a while. Now they are going home, so they connect the children together. ¡­ After Lan Sibo and his wife left, Lan Dazhuang went home. Originally, the family had dinner together during the Chinese New Year, but they ended up breaking up. After Lan Sibo and Yu Xia left, Chang Chunfang was still angry, she continued to instruct the elder son, "Da Zhuang, go to the third son''s house tomorrow and bring all my luggage, I will not live in his house in the future Already!" Tang Chu on the side heard what her mother-in-law said, and subconsciously corrected her mother-in-law. "Mom, An De has made an agreement with the second brother and the third brother. The three families will take care of you in turn, so don''t talk about not staying at the third brother''s house. When your anger subsides, the third brother will take care of you in the future." Tang Chu''s original intention was to let the mother-in-law understand the situation clearly, but Chang Chunfang didn''t have a good relationship with the eldest daughter-in-law, so she rolled her eyes and said, "What? Without the third and third family, I will only rely on the eldest and second in the future. Can''t it?" "I told my third son that he will not be my son in the future, and I will not be his mother! From now on, I will live with my eldest son and second son!" Chang Chunfang thought that her decision was okay, but it was originally a matter for the three sons, and it will be divided among the two sons in the future. But the daughter-in-law, especially the daughter-in-law who has a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, naturally does not want to stay with her mother-in-law for a long time. Tang Chu disagreed with her mother-in-law''s idea in her heart, but now she didn''t say it in front of her mother-in-law. Xing''s mother-in-law is angry, maybe she will directly quarrel with her! But in the future, after the time for his family to support the mother has passed, the three brothers will definitely have to rotate. She won¡¯t mention it today, but she will say it again in the future¡ª ¡­ At the same time, on Chang''an Avenue, the Gu family. At noon, Lan Shu, Xiao Bai sat around the dining table with their daughter, son-in-law''s family, and son, and had a happy New Year''s reunion dinner. The two little dolls in the family have eaten children''s meals before the adults eat. When Lan Sibo and his wife came to pick up their child, their daughter Lan Yanran had already taken a nap. Lan Sibo and Yu Xia were afraid of waking up the child, so they stayed at the little sister''s house for a while longer. Seeing the unhappy expression on the third brother''s face, Lan Shu knew that something must have happened at the eldest brother''s house at noon today. The third brother didn''t say anything, and she didn''t ask. On the other hand, Yu Xia has a good relationship with Lan Shu, her sister-in-law. She doesn''t hide anything from her, so she quickly told Lan Shu about her mother-in-law''s disapproval of living in rotation at the three sons'' homes at noon. Knowing what her adoptive mother thinks, Lan Shu can understand the difficulty of the third sister-in-law from the perspective of a bystander. But since the adoptive mother got older, it is true that many of her ideas are based on herself, and she doesn''t consider whether others can accept it. The adoptive mother used to be very different from now. At that time, she was always thinking about her children, and as long as her children could live well, she was satisfied. Maybe when a person gets older, his personality will change, right? But Lan Shu thinks where her adoptive mother lives can be discussed. When the adoptive mother''s anger subsides, let her third brother say something nice, and the matter should be over. Lan Shu tried her best to think in the right direction when it came to her adoptive mother, but the reality was not so smooth. Because no one knows what Chang Chunfang will do next¡ª ¡­ The next day, Lan Dazhuang followed Chang Chunfang''s request and went to the third brother''s house to take away his mother''s luggage. From then on, Chang Chunfang officially lived in Lan Dazhuang''s home in Kyoto, under the same roof as Tang Chu. On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, relatives of Chang Chunfang''s natal family came to Kyoto one after another. Her relatives said during Chinese New Year last year that they would come to see her aunt who is far away again this year. After the relatives came, Lan Dazhuang made arrangements for food and accommodation. Besides, last year these relatives were unable to visit Lan Shu''s house for New Year''s greetings. This year, several people urged Chang Chunfang, the aunt, to take them to the big boss''s house. Chang Chunfang thought that it would not be easy for relatives from her natal family to come here once, so she could not refuse such a small wish. Although the relationship between her and Shushu is not as close as before, they are still mother and daughter, and it is okay to bring relatives to meet. Besides, her relatives did not come empty-handed, they all brought presents. So the next day, she took her eldest nephew Chang Zheng and her two nephews and sons-in-law to Lan Shu''s house. Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai are not at home, they went to Lan Shu''s natal home together. is the home of Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan. Although Lan Weicheng made a lot of money in business, he and his wife still lived in the compound instead of moving out. The daughter and son-in-law came to the house with their grandson, and the family was eating happily when Lan Shu suddenly received a call from the landline at home! "Shu Shu, you come back early in the afternoon, Chang Zheng and the others finally came to Kyoto and want to meet you..." "Who is Chang Zheng?" Lan Shu was slightly taken aback, she could no longer remember the name. But when she thought of the other party''s surname, she realized, "Is it the relatives of your natal family?" Lan Shu frowned, the original good mood of family reunion disappeared in an instant! She felt very strange in her heart, "It''s Chinese New Year, what do your relatives come to see me for?" Lan Shu didn''t want to get involved with the relatives of the Chang family. People who don''t need to interact with each other are reluctant to get together, which is quite annoying. Perhaps it was because her natal relatives were around, so she tried to save face and continued to say on the phone, "Shu Shu, you arranged their work, so they wanted to bring a gift to come and see you. " Bringing this matter up, Lan Shu felt even worse. "Mom, I won''t accept gifts from anyone casually, let them go back, I still have something to do here." After Lan Shu finished speaking, she hung up the phone. (end of this chapter) Chapter 563: my daughter! Chapter 563 My daughter! At the dining table, Lan Weicheng listened to his daughter''s words, and he already understood what was going on. The relationship between his daughter and his cousin''s sister-in-law, Chang Chunfang, is cold. He has heard of the reason for this. By the time Lan Weicheng knew about it, his daughter had already arranged jobs for relatives of the Chang family. I didn''t expect that after so many years, the Chang family still wanted to post it to his daughter whenever they had the opportunity¡ª The Chang family is not stupid, they know that as long as they have a good relationship with his daughter, they can gain benefits. But it was obvious that Shu Shu was very displeased with that family. Lan Weicheng only had this one daughter, and he couldn''t see his daughter being wronged by her adoptive mother. So in front of his daughter, Lan Weicheng took out his mobile phone, called his daughter''s landline at home, and asked the nanny to call Chang Chunfang to answer the phone. During the phone call, Lan Weicheng first wished his cousin a happy new year, and then talked about his daughter. "Sister-in-law Chunfang, although Shushu was raised thanks to you and my cousin when she was young, my family also helped you raise your daughter, so we owe each other nothing in this matter." "Shushu is my daughter. She is willing to associate with her adoptive parents. That is because she is soft-hearted and cares about family affection. But except for my cousin, you, and her brothers, other relatives in your family have nothing to do with my daughter. It doesn''t matter at all!" "I hope you can restrain your relatives so that they don''t come to pester my daughter." Lan Weicheng spoke, emphasizing "my daughter" sentence by sentence, letting Chang Chunfang know where her identity should be placed. Chang Chunfang is not a native country old lady, she has also studied and worked as a primary school teacher, she wants face. Being directly mentioned in the face by her man''s cousin, she trembled with embarrassment. Chang Chunfang didn''t know what to say, so she went to explain to Lan Weicheng, her daughter''s father. She was so depressed that she finally hung up the phone silently. At this moment in the living room of Lan Shu''s house, Chang Chunfang took a deep breath. She turned her head and saw the three relatives of her natal family surrounded by her, feeling upset. "Let''s go, you don''t come here again." She said, although she knew that this would offend her relatives, but Lan Weicheng''s remark just now made her feel that she was not qualified to bother Shushu, let alone her family. Weicheng said he was pestering Shushu''s relatives? Chang Zheng and the others could see their aunt''s worry. Actually, since they were assigned jobs, except for his younger brother Chang Gui, he and his two brothers-in-law have done well in their posts. But people all want to go to high places. It is of course the best to have a good relationship with the big boss of the group. Now it seems that the relationship between their aunt and the big boss may not be as good as they thought. ¡­ This year, Chang Chunfang''s relatives did not stay in Kyoto for too long. After Chang Chunfang moved out of the third son''s house, she lived in the eldest son''s house in Kyoto. Because he still had work to do, Lan Dazhuang didn''t stay in Kyoto for too long, so he returned to Tianshui Village. Chang Chunfang stayed in Kyoto and lived with her eldest daughter-in-law. Fortunately, Tang Chu still has a job now, so he doesn''t have to stay at home and face his mother-in-law every day. So when Chang Chunfang lived in the eldest son''s house, she didn''t stretch out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food like the third son''s house. After all, Yu Xia hires a nanny, and Tang Chu lives alone most of the time on weekdays. She is completely self-reliant and doesn''t need anyone to take care of her at all. After Chang Chunfang moved into the eldest son''s house, she had to wash her hands and cook by herself at noon every day. Fortunately, her body hasn''t reached the point where she can''t work, but she can also solve the problem of eating by herself. ¡­ Half a month later, members of the Lan family went back to Tianshui Village to burn paper for their deceased father. This year marks the second anniversary of Lan Shengli''s absence. All three brothers from the Lan family have arrived, but Lan Shu has not. Lan Shu didn''t want to go on purpose, but just happened to have a business trip these few days and couldn''t get away. When Chang Chunfang saw this, she quickly thought of what Lan Weicheng said to her on the phone during the Chinese New Year. She thinks that the reason why Shushu didn''t come is that she wants to gradually separate herself from their family... After all, Shushu is not her biological daughter. After burning the paper, the three brothers left the village one after another. Lan Xiuming is still the busiest at work. Lan Sibo always sees his **** cold face at home, he really can''t stay any longer. And Lan Dazhuang did not stay in the village, he returned to Kyoto with his wife and his mother. In more than a month, Lan Dazhuang''s son Lan Juncheng will get married. Last year, Lan Dazhuang and his daughter-in-law Tang Chu went abroad to visit the woman''s parents, and the two parties set a wedding date. The wedding is approaching, and Lan Dazhuang is going to Kyoto recently to find someone to decorate his son''s wedding room. Tang Chu had to wait for his future daughter-in-law to arrive, and then took her to buy things for the wedding. Choose the wedding dress, wedding shoes, and choose the jewelry worn by the new daughter-in-law at the wedding. These will be chosen by the prospective daughter-in-law at the beginning of Tang Dynasty. She followed by, just responsible for the checkout! Tang Chu and Lan Dazhuang were still discussing about buying a car for their son. It''s just that whether to buy the car at home or abroad, they will discuss it after the son comes back in a few days. ¡­ A week later, Lan Juncheng returned to China with his fianc¨¦e Qiao Qian. The preparations before the wedding, the two still need some time to complete one by one. On the second day after Lan Juncheng returned to China, he first took Qiao Qian to his aunt''s house. When he was young, he almost grew up with his cousin Qingning, and even spent more time at his aunt''s house than his own, so after he came back, he first wanted to visit his aunt. Lan Shu was very happy to see her eldest nephew back. Knowing that Junjun is going to get married soon, she waved her hand and asked Junjun to take his fiancee to her wedding dress customization studio to choose clothes casually. Her aunt is in charge of the wedding dresses and shoes of the eldest nephew and future niece and daughter-in-law! Lan Juncheng was not polite to his aunt either. He nodded with a smile and said that he would take his fiancee there in the afternoon. After the wedding dress and wedding shoes were settled, Tang Chu asked for leave from work in the next few days, and took his prospective daughter-in-law to choose gold accessories at the jewelry counters of major shopping malls in Kyoto. Nowadays, domestic weddings generally buy gold jewelry, but people abroad believe in the saying ''a diamond will last forever''. Young people have a different vision than middle-aged people. Josie prefers platinum and diamond jewelry. So Tang Chu simply bought a set of platinum diamonds and a set of gold for his future daughter-in-law. The two sets of jewelry can be worn alternately when the time comes. Tang Chu treated his future daughter-in-law like a daughter. After shopping for jewelry and other clothes she usually wears, she also bought several sets for Josie. The future mother-in-law treats her kindly, Qiao Qian can see it. She originally only liked Lan Juncheng, but now, gradually, she has been able to integrate into the family behind Lan Juncheng. (end of this chapter) Chapter 564: disregard Chapter 564 does not pay attention Feeling the closeness between his future daughter-in-law and himself, Tang Chu suddenly had a feeling. When she married into the Lan family, her mother-in-law Chang Chunfang was also very kind to her. Tang Chu still remembered that when she was a new daughter-in-law, she spent the first year at Lan''s house in Tianshui Village. Her mother-in-law wrapped her a big red envelope worth 500 yuan! Five hundred yuan was a lot in those days! So much money is the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law in the county, that''s all. At that time, she was respectful to her mother-in-law and regarded the Lan family as her own. It is even a place that gives her a sense of belonging even more than her natal home. But gradually, people will change with time and environment. Although the mother-in-law helped her a lot, all the help was canceled out in her heart at the moment Junjun lost it! She even hated her mother-in-law¡ª Rather than hate, it is better to say fear. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would continue to take care of the child and do something that made her regret her whole life. So the relationship between her and her mother-in-law has become estranged... Thinking of this, Tang Chu sighed. The previous things have already happened, and there is no room for change. What she can do now is not to repeat the same mistakes. She will get along well with her daughter-in-law. She will not let herself become an incompatible mother-in-law in the heart of her daughter-in-law. ¡­ In mid-April, Lan Juncheng and Qiao Qian held their wedding ceremony. Josie is of Chinese descent, and all her relatives are abroad, even if it takes more than ten hours by plane. In addition to the flight time, the price of each air ticket can even match the annual wages of ordinary domestic workers! But even so, several relatives came to Josie''s house. In addition to Josie''s parents, there are also Josie''s uncle and Josie''s younger brother. Josie''s family attaches great importance to Josie, so they don''t care about spending money at all. Moreover, Josie''s family conditions are actually very good. Although generally speaking, she is not as rich as Lan Dazhuang, she is still considered to be in the middle class. The wedding was held in the Qin family''s star-rated hotel. Gu Qingning watched her cousin marry and start a family with her cousin who was by her side every day when she was a child, and she was very happy for her cousin. On this day, Lan Xiuming and Lan Sibo''s family will also be present as the grandson of Lan gets married. Lan Xiuming was still sighing from the sidelines, after Junjun got married, it would be his son Lan Haoran''s turn next. His son is twenty years old this year, and finding a wife should be on the agenda. It''s just that his son doesn''t even talk about marrying a wife, and he doesn''t even think about talking about a girlfriend. He''s only a junior, and he has never heard his son say which girl he likes. For this reason, Lan Xiuming had a slight headache. It is precisely because he himself got married relatively late, so he hopes that his son can find a partner to start a family earlier, and have children earlier in the future. He may see his great-grandson in his lifetime. Except for Lan Xiuming, who was emotional when he saw his eldest nephew getting married. Lan Sibo on the side was also quite emotional. His elder brother''s sons are all married, but his daughter is still a little over two years old... When his daughter grows up and it''s time to get married, he will be in his sixties at least! At Lan Sibo''s age, he suddenly felt how good it is for a child to have it early. Just like a younger sister, she got married early, and now she has granddaughters! ¡ª Lan Shu didn''t know that she was being envied by the third brother. Today, her eldest nephew got married, and she came to the wedding. When the couple offered tea to the elders, her aunt was also called to the stage and drank a cup of tea offered by the bride. Qiao Qian had heard from Lan Juncheng that his family had the closest relationship with her aunt''s. It can be said that without his aunt, he would not be where he is now. Lan Juncheng and his aunt, apart from family affection, have always had a grateful heart since he grew up and became sensible. So after his parents, the first person to be invited to the stage was not his grandma, but his aunt! Lan Juncheng''s sincerity in Chicheng, Lan Shu can feel it. After drinking the tea served by her niece and daughter-in-law, Lan Shu didn''t forget to give each of the two newcomers a big red envelope. After Lan Shu stepped down, Chang Chunfang, a grandmother, was invited to the stage. At this time, Chang Chunfang''s complexion was not very good. She originally thought that after Junjun brought his wife to serve tea to his parents, she would be the next one. I didn''t expect Shu Shu to go in front of her! This made her feel a little embarrassed as an elder. She even felt that Junjun disrespected her! What annoyed her even more was that her eldest son took it for granted and didn''t care? ! Because she was in a bad mood, Chang Chunfang was absent-minded when she came on stage, and even when her grandson-in-law offered tea to her, she was distracted. It was still reminded by the master of ceremonies that she took a sip of the tea, and then, under the reminder of the master of ceremonies, she gave the prepared red envelope to the granddaughter-in-law. The grandson''s wedding, in Chang Chunfang''s view, she has no sense of existence at all. This shows that neither the son nor the grandson pays enough attention to her. Chang Chunfang finished the wedding banquet with a lot of thoughts, and when the banquet was over, most people in the restaurant left, and she realized that her stomach was empty and she didn''t even take a few bites. She was in a bad mood, she really couldn''t eat¡ª ¡­ On the second day of Lan Juncheng and Qiao Qian''s wedding, Chang Chunfang fell ill due to emotional blockage. Fortunately, Lan Juncheng and his wife have a wedding room in Beijing, and they don¡¯t live with the elders, so they don¡¯t see grandma shouting ¡°Ouch~ Ouch~¡± at home because she is not feeling well. Lan Dazhuang wanted to take his mother to the hospital, but Chang Chunfang felt that he was probably tired yesterday, so he just lay down and rested. Tang Chu felt that her mother-in-law was fine at first, but in the evening, Chang Chunfang suddenly went from dizziness to chest tightness, palpitation, and sweating! Lan Dazhuang immediately called his second brother! Lan Xiuming''s family lived in the guest room of the east wing of the younger sister''s house last night. They originally planned to take the train back to Linjiang City tonight, but on the eve of departure, they learned that the old lady was ill! Lan Xiuming took his wife with him, and immediately rushed to the eldest brother''s house. Because the two families are not too far away, they arrived in a short while. Lan Xiuming and Tian Na are both doctors. When they saw the situation of their old lady, they immediately felt bad! "Take our mother to the hospital immediately!" As Lan Xiuming spoke, Lan Dazhuang had already picked up his mother and ran out the door. And Lan Xiuming immediately called his younger sister, who has a car, so it would be faster to send his mother to the hospital¡ª When Lan Shu heard the news, she was not ambiguous. She and Xiao Bai drove out together, heading towards the eldest brother''s house. When we arrived at Lan Dazhuang''s house, because the seats in the car were limited, the two doctors, Lan Xiuming and Tian Na, followed. Lan Dazhuang accompanied him, and Xiao Bai continued to drive. Lan Shu and Tang Chu stayed at home temporarily. That night, Chang Chunfang was admitted to the hospital, and the test result was a stroke! He suffered a heart attack and suffered a stroke. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital in time, otherwise it would be dangerous¡ª (end of this chapter) Chapter 565: In-law relationships Chapter 565 Relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Chang Chunfang had a stroke and lay in the hospital for half a month. When she was discharged from the hospital, her body inevitably suffered from stroke sequelae. The left side of the body is numb from the arms to the legs. Although he can still move, he has to use crutches to support his body and walk. In addition, the doctor also said that she may often have headaches in the future. Chang Chunfang''s illness has made her unable to take care of herself. If she continues to live in Kyoto in the future, she will need someone to take care of her. Tang Chu either quit his job to take care of his mother-in-law, or hired a nanny at home. Regarding these two options, perhaps other families still need to carefully consider the issue of the nanny''s salary, but Tang Chu did not hesitate, and directly contacted the nanny as soon as possible! After Chang Chunfang got home from the hospital, the nanny would be there in about two hours. Discharged in the morning, and the nanny is already in place in the afternoon, ready to make dinner. It was also at this time that Chang Chunfang realized that the eldest daughter-in-law would continue to work instead of taking care of herself at home. Although the nanny was hired, Chang Chunfang felt a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, her son is capable, and the family can afford a nanny. Otherwise, if the daughter-in-law is unwilling to take care of herself, then her later life will be difficult... From this matter, Chang Chunfang has no hope at all about whether the eldest daughter-in-law will be filial to herself. She was very disappointed, so even when she was at home, her attitude towards the eldest daughter-in-law was not so good. Chang Chunfang stayed at Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu''s house just like that. Two months later, in mid-June, it has been four months since Chang Chunfang lived in the eldest son''s house. At the beginning, the three brothers of the Lan family agreed that they would take turns to support the old lady every three months. However, considering that it is inconvenient for my mother to move around now, I increased it to four months, which happens to change three houses a year. Now that the time has come, according to what was said at the beginning, Chang Chunfang should go to live with her second son. Because Chang Chunfang needed someone to take care of her, Tang Chu made an agreement with the nanny, and the nanny would follow her. Every month she would give the nanny some extra money as a subsidy for working in another place. Taking advantage of the weekend, Lan Xiuming took the train from Linjiang City to Kyoto to pick up his wife. Chang Chunfang saw her second son, and when she learned of the second son''s intention, her expression changed on the spot! "It''s not convenient for me to move now, and you want me to move a place every few months. Is this a special trip to torment me?!" Chang Chunfang said a few months ago that she would not have any contact with her third son, and her second son was in Linjiang City. If her health was fine, she would go to Linjiang City with her second son to live for a few months. But now, with limited mobility, she really doesn''t want to move. Chang Chunfang felt that she was already like this, so she just lived in the eldest son''s house from now on. Anyway, there is a nanny to take care of her, so she just has a place to live. When Lan Xiuming heard his mother''s words, he looked embarrassed and couldn''t help sighing. The brothers agreed on something, the last time his mother changed places to live, she had already had trouble with the third brother''s family. Now, is his mother going to make a fuss at the elder brother''s house again, so that the sister-in-law can speak clearly and drive her away? Lan Xiuming knew that there was a gap between his sister-in-law and his mother. After all, no one would pretend that nothing happened when the mother lost the child. So whether his mother likes it or not, this time he will never let his mother stay at his eldest brother''s house again. So Lan Xiuming stayed by his mother''s side and said all the good things. In order to take care of his mother''s inconvenient physical activity, he even called his younger sister to borrow a car, and took his mother directly to Linjiang City by car. Seeing that the eldest son wanted to live in his house, Chang Chunfang finally agreed to go to Linjiang City with the second son. Lan Xiuming stayed in Kyoto for one night. On the second day, he took his mother and nanny with him, and the three of them boarded the car sent by the younger sister''s company and left Kyoto¡ª ¡­ Here in Kyoto, Chang Chunfang''s departure made Tang Chu''s mood instantly clear. Tang Chu transferred from the sales of cosmetics counters to the Kyoto area of ??cosmetics for management five or six years ago. Although her work cannot be said to be too busy on weekdays, she is definitely not idle. Usually when returning home after work, and facing the cold face of his mother-in-law, Tang Chu felt depressed. Now that her mother-in-law is gone, her mood is brightened¡ª The mother-in-law had just left in the morning, and in the early evening of Tang Dynasty, she received a call from her son from abroad¡ª On the phone, Lan Juncheng told his mother the good news in an excited tone. "Mom, Josie is pregnant!" It has been more than two months since the son and daughter-in-law got married. The two lived in Kyoto for more than a month after they got married. At the beginning of last month, the two went abroad together. Tang Chu heard from his son that in the second half of the year, the couple will have several overseas music festivals to attend, and now that their daughter-in-law is pregnant, at least in the short term, there is no way to continue their careers. So Tang Chu explained to his son on the phone that he must let his daughter-in-law take good care of the baby. Even if the daughter-in-law is willing, she can come back to China. As a mother-in-law, she will take care of her daughter-in-law. Although Tang Chu still has work, if her daughter-in-law really comes, she will put down her work and take care of her daughter-in-law first. Lan Juncheng knew his mother''s kindness, but Qiao Qian was used to living abroad, so she might not want to return to China to raise a baby. Besides, his wife''s family members are all abroad, so it is convenient to take care of her here. Therefore, Lan Juncheng told his mother that he would take good care of his wife so that his mother would not have to worry. Of course Tang Chu was relieved of her son, but as a mother-in-law, she couldn''t take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law, so she felt a little bit sorry. So Tang Chu transferred 30,000 yuan to his son on the same day, asking his son to give the money to his daughter-in-law as a token of her mother-in-law''s kindness. Tang Chu would not force his daughter-in-law to do things she did not want to do, such as forcing the daughter-in-law to return to China to raise a baby with her mother-in-law. She hopes that her daughter-in-law can maintain a comfortable mood as much as possible, so that it is conducive to the pregnancy and delivery of the child. ¡­ A few days later, on the other side, the city of Senna abroad. Qiao Qian received the money transferred to her by Lan Juncheng. I learned that the money was given by my mother-in-law, in order to let her pay attention to her body, buy whatever she wants to eat, and don''t be reluctant to spend it. With a mother-in-law who cares about her so much and keeps her distance from her, Josie is of course happy in her heart. What she is most afraid of is that after she gets married, she will still live with her husband''s elders. Qiao Qian grew up abroad. She heard that most of the girls in China have to get along with their parents-in-law for a long time after they get married. Now the mother-in-law''s behavior makes her not have to worry about these problems. The mother-in-law transferred money to her, so as a daughter-in-law, she couldn''t just say nothing. Qiao Qian went to the shopping mall in a good mood and chose a watch of the latest foreign style for her mother-in-law. The value of this watch is actually almost the same as the money transferred by my mother-in-law. She doesn''t care how much money is spent, she just wants to give her mother-in-law a gift in her heart. The mother-in-law treats her well, and she also wants to treat her mother-in-law well. This is her wish. (end of this chapter) Chapter 566: The realm of sunbathing Chapter 566 The Realm of Baby Showing In mid-June, Gu Qingning''s son, Qin Xi, finally celebrated his third birthday. Three-year-old Xiao Qin is already a child with independent thinking. Although he is still young, he is very smart and knows many things. For example, Xiao Qin thinks that his father and mother are not up to the mark. Obviously, his grandpa, grandma, and grandpa and grandma are so rich, and they all live in big villas with big gardens at home. But my father and mother couldn¡¯t afford a big house because of their lack of ability, so they only had three bedrooms and one living room in their home. The whole family lived in a community like a tofu house, with more than ten families living in one building. Don¡¯t mention the garden at home~! Even the downstairs of the community has no greenery. Xiao Qin heard from his mother that their family''s conditions are not good, so they can only afford this kind of house. It is not impossible to improve his life. When he grows up and is capable of making a lot of money, he can buy as many houses as he wants. Of course, the premise is that Xiao Qin can make money. Living in a poor family, Xiao Qin has already started thinking about making money at a young age. Except for the New Year¡¯s money given to him by his grandpa, grandma, and grandma during the Chinese New Year, he found a secret place to save it. For the rest of the time, as long as he doesn¡¯t go to school on weekends, he will go to his grandpa, grandma or grandpa¡¯s house to ¡®work¡¯. Although it is tiring to squeeze the shoulders and backs of the elders, there is a ''salary'' every time. Xiao Qin felt good when he saw more and more money in his drawer. Sometimes he feels sorry for his mother who has no financial income and is still studying. He will take out some money, wait for her mother at the school gate after school, and take her to the nearby snack street to buy snacks for her mother. Xiao Qin¡¯s third birthday is coming, and his rich grandpa and grandma want to hold a birthday party for him. But my mother said that it costs money to organize a birthday party, so he has to pay his grandparents a thousand dollars to organize the birthday party. Although Xiao Qin really wanted to eat a birthday cake, but considering that if you buy a cake for 1,000 yuan, you can buy ten cakes! So Xiao Qin told grandpa and grandma, "Don''t hold a birthday party for me, I have no money!" Little Qin is only three years old, and already knows how to keep money and settle accounts. Even if his calculations were not accurate, he knew that buying a cake for a thousand dollars was a loss! Qin Tianyi''s parents couldn''t help laughing when they saw their grandson seriously refusing the birthday party for fear of paying the money. Finally, Xiao Qin¡¯s birthday party was held. It¡¯s just that the two elders and their grandson reached a consensus. Now they hold a birthday party for their grandson. When the grandson grows up, they will hold a birthday party for them. Just go back~! When he heard that he wanted to return it, Xiao Qin actually refused in his heart. But my mother said that my grandparents wanted to exchange with him because they were worried that they would be old, unable to earn money, and have no money for their birthdays. Xiao Qin thought that no one would celebrate his grandparents'' birthdays in the future, and the two of them would not even be able to eat delicious and sweet cakes, which would be very pitiful. That''s why he reluctantly agreed to exchange birthdays with his grandparents. On Xiao Qin''s birthday, it''s time for the second elder of the Qin family to show off his baby again! The whole birthday banquet is called a grand specification! Qin''s star restaurant with the best location in Kyoto stopped serving customers the day before. The two elders of the Qin family invited dozens of professionals to design banquets, and arranged the interior of the restaurant with a birthday atmosphere. In addition to flowers, balloons, and ribbons, there is also a special exhibition wall in the venue, which is full of various photos of Xiao Qin from the first few days of his birth to last week! When it comes to sunbathing, the Qin family can innovate every year. It can be said that it is the vanguard leading the whole boom of wealthy families in Kyoto¡ª Xiao Qin''s birthday, since the Qin family has solemnly organized it, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai, as the child''s grandpa and grandma, of course have to be there. came with the two of them, and their son Gu Zerui. When Xiao Qin saw his uncle, he was so happy that he immediately stepped forward to hug him! Gu Zerui is not yet seventeen years old, but his height has exceeded 1.8 meters. Xiao Qin felt like a giant when he was picked up by his uncle! He likes the feeling of seeing the world from a high angle, so he likes to be hugged by his uncle. For this birthday party, in addition to the atmosphere of the scene, the elders of the Qin family also invited a professional cameraman to record their grandson''s birthday scene. These professional cameras are not photographers in ordinary photo studios, but professional cameras for TV dramas and movies hired by the Qin family directly from the film and television department of Langu Group. With a cameraman, of course, there must be a professional film director to guide the shooting. The Qin family spent a lot of money in order to finally be able to edit the filming of today''s birthday party into an ornamental film. On this day, after the documentary filming of the birthday banquet, the elders of the Qin family heard something from the director. ¡ªThe film and television department of Langu Group is going to record a parent-child variety reality show recently. The original intention of the director was to find out if the Qin family had any intention of sponsoring the advertisement. After all, the Qin family''s restaurant chain is so large, there must be a budget for the annual advertising expenses! Given the relationship between the Qin family and their boss, it shouldn''t be a problem to spend some advertising money. However, the director didn''t expect that when the elders of the Qin family learned that the type of reality show was a parent-child variety show, they suddenly had other ideas~! Isn¡¯t their grandson always wanting to make money? If you are participating in a reality show, you must be paid for it! The Qin family is not short of money. As grandparents, they also want to give their grandson a lot of money. It''s a pity that the daughter-in-law disagrees... When their grandson was just one year old, the daughter-in-law said that the child must be raised poorly, otherwise he would spend too much money when he grows up. They thought about it carefully, and what the daughter-in-law said made sense, so they agreed to the daughter-in-law''s plan of "poor children". But usually let them watch Xiao Qin report to them on weekends in order to make money. Dian Dian is a little doll, trying to stand on tiptoe to serve tea and water for them, pinching shoulders and beating their backs. When grandparents feel distressed... Now they can find a job for their grandson and let him earn some money, the grandson will definitely be very happy! So after the birthday party, the elders of the Qin family immediately told their precious grandson about the good news. Xiao Qin heard that he can make money by recording programs, of course he is happy. Xiao Qin wants to make a lot of money, take his parents out of poverty and become rich, and let them live in a big house like grandpa, grandma and grandpa and grandma''s house. Although Xiao Qin is still young, he already has the heart to support his parents. But it¡¯s not enough for only Xiao Qin to agree to the parent-child reality show, it must be accompanied by parents. According to what the director said, it is best for the child to be accompanied by his father. In Xiaoqin¡¯s house, his mother had to go to school, so she definitely didn¡¯t have time to record the show with him, so his father went with him... (end of this chapter) Chapter 567: screw father Chapter 567 The father who drives the screw The two elders of the Qin family discovered that if their son took their grandson to participate in the recording of a parent-child reality show, then they would not only be able to show off their grandson in front of audiences across the country! You can also show off their son! Suddenly, the two elders felt that their "Baby Exposure Project" had been sublimated! This is simply showing off ''two babies'' in one fell swoop! As one of the ''two babies'', Qin Tianyi of course disagrees with his parents ''posting him'' like this! You can see the son who is dedicated to making money, staring at him with big watery eyes, and said, "Dad, you can go with me. When I make money, we will be half of each other!" Is Qin Tianyi the one who lacks that little money? The worst thing in his life is money! The announcing fee for recording the program is probably not as much as he earns from working in the company for a day. Unfortunately, in the eyes of his son, he is just an ordinary worker with a monthly income of 2,000 to 3,000 yuan! In order to create an image of a hard-earned father in his son''s heart, his little wife told his son¡ª "Dad is a worker who drives screws in a factory." "Every penny earned by Dad is hard-earned money. It is hard-won and must be cherished." ¡­ Although it is outrageous to say so, but the son is still young, so he believes in his wife''s words. Because the son thinks that his father is not easy to make money, under the influence of the family atmosphere, his son is quite sensible and rarely spends money. My son usually eats, and there is never any leftovers. Because the son said that wasting food is wasting father''s hard work! Qin Tianyi was once deeply moved by his son''s words... At this time, facing the demands of his parents and his son, Qin Tianyi struggled repeatedly, and in the end he had no choice but to agree to record the parent-child variety show with his son. When Gu Qingning learned about this, she had no objection. She can understand her parents-in-law''s feelings about showing off their baby, and she also knows that her son wants to make money to support the family. Moreover, the process of recording variety shows can train people very well. This kind of exercise is not only for children, but also for adults. Gu Qingning also wants to know how her husband usually takes care of his son. So more than half a month later, the week-long parent-child variety show recording officially begins! Xiao Qin also got his first real salary in his life after the program was recorded¡ª Although this salary is only a few thousand yuan, which is still far away from his goal of buying a big house, he can get more money than usual for grandparents, grandparents, and grandparents. Xiao Qin is content up! ¡­ Two months later, in mid-September, the temperature slowly turned cooler. On the eve of the National Day holiday, a parent-child variety show was launched on TV¡ª In recent years, although various variety shows have emerged on TV, this is the first time that a parent-child variety show has appeared. The audience is used to watching talent show variety shows, physical challenge variety shows, and brain competition variety shows. The interaction between fathers and children is really novel~! And in real life, most of the mothers take care of their children. Now that they can see fathers taking care of their children, many viewers are looking forward to it. ¡­ Gu family, before the variety show started, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were already guarding by the TV, waiting to see their son-in-law and grandson appear on the show. Lan Shu seldom watches variety shows due to her busy schedule. But because her grandson participated, she was particularly interested. It''s like a parent-child variety show. She watched it a long time ago before she came to this world. The relationship between the cute babies is quite healing, which is why Lan Shu approved the parent-child variety show plan after the director proposed it. It''s just that Lan Shu didn''t expect her grandson to participate in this variety show. On TV, there are four groups of families participating in the parent-child variety show. Among them, the fathers of two groups of families are actors. A young actor under thirty years old, his son''s nickname is Tiaotiao, he is five years old this year. Another actor is older, and he had a daughter in his forties. Now he is forty-nine, and his daughter is four and a half years old, named Xinxin. In addition to the two actor families, there is also a group of families whose father is an athlete with a four-year-old girl named Mingyue. The last one is Qin Tianyi and his son Xiao Qin. That''s right! In the show, Qin Tianyi called his son that. When others introduced their children, they said, "My daughter is Xinxin, who is four and a half years old this year. She likes painting the most." "My son is called Tiaotiao. He is five years old and has learned to play basketball." "My daughter is four years old, her name is Mingyue, she likes to dance and can swim." And Qin Tianyi rubbed the top of his son''s head, and said, "Xiao Qin is three years old this year, and he likes...making money the most." At that moment, not only the director who appeared on the scene for a short time was full of question marks, but also the audience who saw this scene were also very puzzled. But I believe that it won''t be long before the audience watching the show in front of the TV will know that Xiao Qin really likes to make money... After watching the first episode, it was already an hour and a half later. In the program, Lan Shu watched her grandson, although he was the youngest among the children, but he didn''t hold back at all. Every task that the children need to complete, he can work hard to achieve. Sometimes even better than some other children. After all, ''Xiao Qin, a worker'', is not called for nothing. Through getting along with Xiao Qin, the three children finally understand why Xiao Qin''s father said that Xiao Qin likes to make money. According to Xiao Qin, his father is a worker who drives screws in the factory. He goes to work very early every day and sometimes comes home very late at night. Dad works very hard, does not make much money, and is struggling to support the family. Mom doesn¡¯t have a job, she¡¯s still in school, and needs to spend money. It¡¯s really not easy for Dad to support him and mom alone. Although Xiao Qin is young, he still has to go out to do odd jobs on weekends. The children were moved by Xiao Qin''s poor life experience, and they took good care of Xiao Qin in various tasks. The three younger brothers and younger sisters circled around Xiao Qin, and they already regarded Xiao Qin as a group favorite. And the relationship between the fathers is another point of view¡ª Qin Tianyi, who was described by Xiao Qin as a "screw worker in the factory", was obviously treated respectfully by the two actors. Even the athlete''s father was very polite to Qin Tianyi, who was ''screwing the screw''. Even in terms of title, the three of them were all called Qin Tianyi ''President Qin''. So Xiao Qin¡¯s father is really a screwdriver? Through the one-on-one interviews with the fathers, the audience knew that Qin Tianyi actually started the company! In fact, Qin Tianyi''s family is not poor, but his wife wants to raise his son poorly, so he didn''t tell his son the real situation at home. And Xiaoqin¡¯s odd job on weekends is to go to grandparents, grandparents¡¯ homes to beat the backs of the elders. Poor Xiao Qin, he was so worried about making money at a young age... (end of this chapter) Chapter 568: dont pick up men in the trash The sharp contrast between Xiao Qin, who is a worker, and Mr. Qin, who is a screwdriver, has caused the show''s ratings to skyrocket from the very first episode! No one thought that the family of actors and actresses with their own fans failed to leave a deep impression on the audience. When the athlete''s family is on a variety show, it is not the focus of attention. The father and son "Xiao Qin" and "Boss Qin", who appeared in the public eye for the first time, became the biggest attraction of the show! It is also the existence that caused the audience to laugh intensively in the show! Through the program, some netizens who were interested in Xiao Qin and President Qin began to search for President Qin''s company. After this investigation, it was published in the newspaper the next day that Mr. Qin turned out to be the person in charge of the largest restaurant chain in China! President Qin''s net worth is at least in billions! As for Xiao Qin¡¯s mother who said ¡®no job, still in school, being raised by daddy¡¯, that¡¯s even worse! Xiao Qin''s mother is even more famous than Mr. Qin! After all, everyone has heard of the Langu Group. And Xiao Qin''s mother, Gu Qingning, is the daughter of the president of Lan Gu Group! She doesn''t need to work at all, and she is doomed to have endless money in her life since she was born! As for going to school. Xiao Qin''s mother did not go to ordinary school, but continued to study after graduating from university! ¡­ The parent-child variety show is played once a week. Before the start of the second episode, the most discussed topics among the people revolved around Xiao Qin''s family. On the Internet, with the gradual formation of the smart phone market, the number of netizens has also increased dozens of times. Network social platforms have developed from post bars and blogs at the beginning to Weibo, a public social platform with high participation of netizens. The current Weibo has only just appeared, and because of the "Xiao Qin incident", it has attracted hundreds of thousands of netizens to discuss it enthusiastically. And the new data of netizens is still getting more and more with the passage of time¡ª With the anticipation of many netizens and viewers, the second episode of the program finally started! This time, because many viewers have learned about Xiao Qin¡¯s family background from newspapers or the Internet, few people really treat Xiao Qin as an ordinary child. This is a child born with a golden spoon in his mouth~! The life of the wealthy young master has made many people want to know more! ¡­ Before the show started, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai were still waiting in front of the TV. The one-hour parent-child variety show, because it was so exciting, the two watched it again without knowing it. In this episode, Xiao Qin showed the audience his talent for making money. When the program group assigned tasks to the cute babies, and asked a few children to go to the county town with the car to sell the lotus roots dug up by the fathers, Xiao Qin was very happy! He even whispered addition and subtraction within twenty along the way. Other children asked him what he was doing, and Xiao Qin explained excitedly, "We will collect money soon! Brother and sister, will you settle accounts?" When asked about settling accounts, the cute babies looked at each other in blank dismay. Children in this era are not so curly. A group of children who have just entered kindergarten have only learned arithmetic at the age of five. And jumping only learns addition and subtraction within ten. But the three-year-old Xiao Qin can already add and subtract within twenty! Finally, the lotus root carrying a tricycle was sold out thanks to the joint efforts of the cute babies. Xiao Qin''s addition and subtraction within 20 years, there will always be cases where the topic exceeds the outline. Whenever this happens, his eyes widen slightly, showing an incredible expression. Fortunately, people who bought lotus roots were also kind and would not cheat children, so after a carload of lotus roots was sold out, the money was returned normally. Several children have money, and they have to buy some ingredients to take home, so that their fathers can cook for them. Other children bought their favorite fish and meat, and Xiao Qin also bought a lot of vegetables, tofu and the like. Xiao Qin told several older children, "You should eat with meat and vegetables, and you can''t be picky eaters, otherwise you won''t grow tall!" But because of his young age, Xiao Qin is the shortest among several children. So what he said was not convincing at all, and he was ''tucao'' from other cute babies. Especially Mingyue, she took a serious look at Xiao Qin''s height, and then said, "Then Xiao Qin, go back and eat more vegetables to grow taller." Xiao Qin: ¡­ The little child has received a lot of ''care'', but he is not very happy... ¡­ After the second episode of the parent-child variety show was broadcast, there were still topics about Xiao Qin everywhere on the Internet. The hit worker ''Xiao Qin'' unexpectedly became popular! ¡ª The popular cute baby has a strong ability to cash out, but unfortunately no one told Xiao Qin how to make money. The second elder of the Qin family is just showing off his baby, and doesn''t want his grandson to enter the entertainment circle. Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi wouldn''t rely on their sons to make money. So Xiao Qin only had a short "part-time job" during the summer vacation, earning a few thousand dollars. The rest of the popularity is not directly related to him... In addition to Xiao Qin''s popularity, "President Qin" Qin Tianyi''s online discussions are not low. As the president of a well-known catering group, Mr. Qin did not put on airs just because of his high status in the show. He is tall and handsome, and standing with the other two actors, he is even better-looking than the two actors! He is approachable and has a harmonious relationship with the three fathers. When he needs to work, he is not lazy or tired at all, and works seriously. And he also has a good cooking skill. It''s hard to imagine that he grew up in such a prominent family as the Qin family, and he can cook! In the show, the other three fathers admired Qin Tianyi''s cooking skills, and were also puzzled about his cooking skills. Qin Tianyi explained, "The little wife at home still has to go to school, so it falls on me to take care of my son." He also said lightly¡ª "Cooking is just a necessary skill for a house husband." Home cook? The three fathers were stunned! Is President Qin positioning himself like this? Such self-positioning is more surprising than his identity! Qin Tianyi''s performance in the parent-child variety show broke people''s traditional impression of the male protagonist on the outside and the female protagonist on the inside. So it turns out that a man can still have a career and take care of his family at the same time? In the next few days, people on the Internet and in the newspapers said that Mr. Qin is simply a model among men, and it is worth learning from all male compatriots¡ª There are also some female netizens who are extremely envious of Xiao Qin''s mother. Being able to marry a man like Mr. Qin who has an excellent appearance, a strong background, and takes care of his family, Xiao Qin''s mother is simply a winner in life! So Gu Qingning discovered that when she was in school recently, she could always see female classmates casting envious eyes at her... I have a good relationship with her, and I will ask her in front of her, "Student Qingning, how did you manage to teach President Qin so obediently? Ask for advice!" How could Gu Qingning know how to train, she just didn''t pick up men in the trash~! Chapter 569: When Xiao Qin''s popularity was booming across the country, Lan Gu Group and Lan Shu heard the news from the film and television department that some children''s brands wanted to invite Xiao Qin to be their endorsement. There are two other films that are being filmed in Hong Kong City, and I want to invite Xiao Qin to join. As long as he accepts these endorsement and filming projects, Xiao Qin can directly embark on the road of child star. Although Lan Shu is the child''s grandmother, the only ones who can really decide the child''s future are the child''s parents. So Lan Shu didn''t agree to these projects, but just told her daughter the news. Gu Qingning has always insisted on raising her son poorly. Once her son becomes a child star, it will go against her original intention¡ª So for various announcements, Gu Qingning did not hesitate and rejected them all! Although she will not decide her son''s future without authorization, Xiao Qin was born in the Qin family. If there are no accidents in the future, he will only become the heir of the Qin family! ¡­ A few days later, the October holidays. Lan Shu originally planned to take her son out to have fun for a few days, but she was told by her son, "Too busy, no time to play." Lan Shu: ¡­ Listening to her son''s words, Lan Shu seemed to feel that she was a person who didn''t do business and only knew how to have fun! What was his son busy with, Lan Shu understood the situation after a little observation. The short week of vacation was properly divided by Gu Zerui, part of it was used for studying, and part of it was his game time. Gu Zerui is good at time management. When studying and playing are balanced, he will never let these things take up his time for eating and resting. In addition, he also spends two hours a day exercising. Gu Zerui, influenced by his mother''s thinking since he was a child, deeply understands that the body is the capital, and all goals should be based on the health of the body. It is precisely because he knows this that Gu Zerui will not be careless about his health! My son doesn''t plan to go out, and Lan Shu has already arranged the time in advance, so I can''t just waste it like this. Seeing that Xiaobai was not busy, she simply called Xiaobai up, and the two of them lived together in a few days. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai are not young anymore. Although they are middle-aged, their relationship is closer than when they were young. In the process of changing from love to family affection, they did not lose love because of this, but gained a more intimate relationship than love. The two of them came for a sea fishing, spent several days at sea, and saw many marine creatures that they had never heard of before. Short vacation, very fulfilling! ¡­ When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai Haidiao were on vacation, they were located in a second-tier city in the south. Over the years, Gu Cheng has made more and more money by relying on his shady business! He also gradually developed from a small third- and fourth-tier city to a second-tier city. As for those first-tier cities, the goals are too big, and he still dare not set foot in them lightly. But even so, he still feels that he can definitely be called the pinnacle of his career now, and he is capable of doing something he has always wanted to do! In Gu Cheng''s heart, he has always hated one person. If there is no Gu Jue in this world, then he will never leave the bright road, but choose to hide in the darkness¡ª Even though he now has countless younger brothers, many cities are his world at night, but he still can''t see the light. He also wants to be well-known by the public, and wants to be a master in the eyes of the world! It''s a pity that he has no possibility to walk out of the darkness and return to the light in his life¡ª The person who caused all this is Gu Jue! So after Gu Cheng became capable, he only had one thought in his heart, to seek revenge from Gu Jue! Gu Cheng knows how big the Langu Group is today. In terms of business, he no longer has the ability to compete with Lan Shu who is beside Gu Jue. But when it comes to killing someone, Gu Cheng is very good at it. He sent his most powerful men to the capital to secretly observe Gu Cheng''s movements, and to act whenever he had the opportunity! Gu Cheng has a "real guy" under his command, so let his men hide in the dark and sneak attack, they will definitely fall apart! At this time, Xiaobai still doesn''t know Gu Cheng''s plan. But for Gu Cheng, Xiaobai has never let down his vigilance in the past ten years. He knows very well that Gu Cheng is a ''poisonous snake'' lurking underground, and what he has to do is to cut off the opponent''s ''tail'' constantly, so that Gu Cheng can''t do anything! In the past few years, Xiaobai probably knows about Gu Cheng''s development in certain cities. Gu Cheng''s multi-faceted "business" seems to be setting up a big game¡ª Xiaobai, on the other hand, joined forces with the public officials, and based on Gu Cheng''s secret development, he used this as a chessboard to grasp as much as possible all the ''points'' of development under Gu Cheng''s hands. As long as Gu Cheng''s ''nail'' is pulled out, more branches can be brought out! The second day after Xiaobai and his wife came back from vacation, they received a call from a person in the public office whom he called Uncle Yang. "Gu Jue, be careful these days, there may be trouble around you." Just this one sentence, Xiaobai understood what it meant! He is not afraid of trouble, but he does not want his loved ones to be in danger¡ª Xiao Bai frowned, and said into the phone, "Uncle Yang, is it time to turn off the Internet?" The person on the other side of the phone hesitated for a moment, as if after some thought, he replied, "It''s almost time, I will arrange it as soon as possible." "Don''t worry, I will send someone to properly protect your family before implementing the ''cleaning'' plan." With Uncle Yang''s words, Xiaobai finally felt a little more at ease. "Then I will trouble Uncle Yang..." At this time, Gu Cheng didn''t know that when he was trying to kill Gu Jue, there was another bigger ''net'' slowly opening towards him... ¡­ Kyoto, Lan Shu''s right eyelid is always twitching recently, and she feels in her heart, is there a sign that something is about to happen? Whether something will happen, Lan Shu doesn''t know, but it''s better to be careful in everything. For the sake of safety and to give herself a psychological comfort, Lan Shu hired a few security personnel to protect herself and her family secretly. Lan Shu asked Meng Heng to help find someone for this matter. After Meng Heng got married for the second time, he found a job training security personnel. In the past twenty years, Meng Heng has cultivated quite a few elites in the security industry! So people recommended by Meng Heng definitely have matching strength. Lan Shu was willing to spend money, she placed four people beside herself and Xiao Bai, and there were also some people around her son and daughter who secretly watched over her. With these people hired by Lanshu, Gu Cheng sent to the capital to try to harm Xiaobai''s capable men, and they were found after lurking in less than three days! Surrounded by several security elites, they quickly knocked him to the ground¡ª The ''Uncle Yang'' who had been on the phone with Xiaobai before learned that the trouble had been removed from Gu Jue''s side by someone from the other party, so he didn''t delay any longer, and immediately notified the suppression teams in various cities to carry out the network collection plan! Chapter 570: guilt for brother This plan lasted for a full month, and ended in October. It was not until mid-November that the anti-suppression department completely completed the plan of "collecting the net"! The plan this time is after a long period of planning and large-scale settlement. In the future, many cities in the country will no longer be eroded by evil forces, and the clear sky will be restored¡ª In the net collection plan, Gu Cheng, who has long been targeted by the arrest and suppression department, will inevitably become the target of arrest. Although Gu Cheng has many younger brothers and great power, under the full pursuit of the suppression department, even if he sensed that something was wrong at the beginning and ran away immediately, he could not escape the national search in the end! More than half a month after Gu Cheng escaped, he was arrested at the border. All that remains is to examine the facts of his crime¡ª ¡­ Xiaobai learned about Gu Cheng''s arrest a few days later. He didn''t tell his wife about it, because the matter about Gu Cheng was not important news to Xiaobai. He thinks these things don''t need to bother his wife. Recently, Lan Shu watches the variety show that her grandson participated in every week. Xiao Qin''s performance on the show made Lan Shu''s love for Xiao Qin, his grandson, almost reach its peak! Children are such lovely creatures, which makes Lan Shu think of Xiao Qingning and Ruirui in the past. The once little dolls have grown up one by one. Xiao Qingning has become the young wife of the Qin family, and her Rui Rui has her own goal in life. and working towards that goal¡ª ¡­ Gu Zerui is already a freshman this year. Although he is two years younger than other freshman students, but fortunately he is tall, and his body looks thinner after long-term exercise. In fact, he is not weak, and he does not seem to impress other college students. Thought he was very young. Compared with high school students, college students have grown a lot in their minds, especially in terms of relationships, they are more open-minded. So Gu Zerui has only been in college for three months, and several female classmates confessed to him. There are first-year students in the same grade, as well as sophomores and even juniors. In this situation, Lan Juncheng is even more popular than when he was in high school! It''s a pity that Gu Zerui is still young, and he is still emotionally inexperienced. In addition, he has a clear plan to go to college, which is to study hard and graduate as soon as possible. In the future he wants to become a professional game player. So for those girls who confessed to him, Gu Zerui refused all¡ª Jiang Wei is a student of the Mathematics Department of Peking University. She is a famous department flower in the school because she is beautiful and good at studying! During the more than two years of college, there are countless male students who chase after Jiang Wei, but unfortunately, none of them can be liked by Jiang Wei! Until one morning, Jiang Wei got up early for a morning run as usual, and when passing by the basketball court, she saw Gu Zerui who was practicing on the court. Gu Zerui is more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a loose jersey, the exposed arm muscles are so perfect that people can''t take their eyes off them! Jiang Wei also saw the perfect eight-pack abs that the boy showed at that moment when he pulled up the corner of his clothes to wipe his sweat! Unknowingly, Jiang Wei stood outside the court and watched for more than ten minutes. When she came to her senses, it was other male students who were doing morning exercises around her who greeted her, and she came back to her senses. It was the first time for Jiang Wei to see a boy in a daze. It was also the first time for her to see a boy like Gu Zerui with a tall and straight figure, impeccable appearance, and a strong youthful atmosphere all over his body! She suddenly felt the feeling of heartbeat¡ª Later, when Jiang Wei found out that Gu Zerui was a freshman student through many inquiries, she was still struggling for several days. I am already in my third year, and I like a junior who is younger than me. Even if she is a flower, there are many suitors on weekdays, but at this time she suddenly feels unconfident... The exciting fact made Jiang Wei unable to go against her own will. Finally she mustered up the courage, and when Gu Zerui went to the court to play basketball again one morning, she shyly handed a love letter to her junior. Gu Zerui has met Jiang Wei a long time ago, he has the habit of getting up early to exercise, and so does Jiang Wei. Before he was on the court, he could often see Jiang Wei running past. Especially recently, that girl would stop and stand outside the court to watch him practice. Gu Zerui did not expect a girl to send him a love letter¡ª He looked up and looked at the girl seriously for the first time. Although the girl grew up beautifully, Gu Zerui still said, "Sister, I''m sorry, I can''t accept it." The word ''sister'' made Jiang Wei feel a strange feeling in her heart. She used to worry that she was older than Gu Zerui, but now, she suddenly felt that finding a ''little brother'' as a boyfriend seemed good too? Jiang Wei was rejected, and she didn''t feel too sad, because what Gu Zerui told her was ''can''t accept'', not ''won''t accept. ''. So it¡¯s not really a rejection~ Jiang Wei smiled and asked Gu Zerui, "Why can''t you accept it?" Gu Zerui was also honest, and immediately replied, "I am seventeen years old. Before I am an adult, my family does not allow me to fall in love, and..." Gu Zerui''s next sentence is to say that his mind is all on study and games, and he has no plans to fall in love. But when Jiang Wei heard Gu Zerui say that he was seventeen, she was already stunned! "You... seventeen?!" Jiang Wei thought that she was already twenty-one this year. Seventeen-year-old younger brother, that is indeed a younger brother... Jiang Wei was a little bit shocked, she was moved for the first time, and mustered up the courage to invest in her relationship, but she didn''t expect that the other party was still underage... Jiang Wei''s mentality is a bit broken! So the love letter she hadn''t handed out was immediately taken back by her¡ª "Sorry, bro..." Facing a little brother of Gu Zerui''s age, Jiang Wei even felt that she had made a mistake... But because of the confession, Jiang Wei and Gu Zerui got acquainted even if it didn''t work out later. After all, Gu Zerui is the boy who made Jiang Wei''s heart flutter. Even though he was young and directly cut off her love interest, Jiang Wei still couldn''t help subconsciously wanting to get closer to Gu Zerui. Jiang Wei learned that Gu Zerui is going to be a professional game player in the future, so she couldn''t help but also have some understanding of games. Even in the spare time of studying, he played the same game as Gu Zerui. Although Jiang Wei is a girl and it is her first time to play games, unexpectedly, she plays games very well. Gu Zerui took a different look at Jiang Wei after he noticed Jiang Wei''s game talent! Two months later, when Jiang Wei''s game account level gradually increased, because of Jiang Wei''s high level of competition in the game, she and Gu Zerui could gradually play together in the game, and had many common topics. At this time, Jiang Wei no longer has any thoughts of being in love with Gu Zerui, but just treats Gu Zerui as a friend. Jiang Wei met several game friends through Gu Zerui. Everyone made an appointment to meet in Kyoto during the Chinese New Year, and it was treated as an offline gathering of netizens. Chapter 571: Meet Chapter 571 Meeting Gu Zerui doesn''t have many friends at school because he only cares about his studies. The people who communicate with him the most, besides his family, are the game netizens on the Internet. So he is looking forward to this gathering of netizens! One week before Chinese New Year, school was already on holiday, and Gu Zerui finally met his netizens. There are three netizens who came to Kyoto this time, all friends who have known Gu Zerui in games for more than two years. Among the three, two are already at work, and one is a college student like Gu Zerui. Jiang Wei came a little late, but as soon as she arrived, because of her beautiful appearance, she quickly attracted all the attention of the three of them! Men who are obsessed with games these days rarely have girlfriends. When the three young single men saw Jiang Wei, their eyes straightened! Jiang Wei has long been used to being stared at by men, and the three of them are friends in the game, so she doesn''t feel uncomfortable being stared at by the three. One of the fat young men whose game name is "Success and Fame" looked at Jiang Wei, then turned to look at Gu Zerui. "Brother Rui, you and girl ''Ginger'' live in the same place, she can''t be your girlfriend, right?" The name of Gu Zerui''s game is ''Xiangrui'', because he is good at playing games, so he is called ''Brother Rui'' by his friends online. Even those who call him that are actually older than him. But everyone is already used to it, and they can''t change it for a while. When Gu Zerui heard this, he was immediately taken aback¡ª The ''Wise Man'' and ''Invincible Iron Armor'' on the side also thought it was possible. After all, ''Ginger'' was introduced to them by Brother Rui. Jiang Wei explained immediately, "Don''t get me wrong, we are just classmates in the same school." Jiang Wei didn''t mention her previous confession to Gu Zerui. When Gu Zerui heard what Jiang Wei said, he subconsciously glanced at Jiang Wei. Seeing that there was no embarrassment on Jiang Wei''s face, he was relieved. When the netizens met, Gu Zerui, as a native of Kyoto, naturally wanted to show his friendship as a landlord. Although Jiang Wei is also studying at Peking University, her family is not in Kyoto, but from Haicheng. Gu Zerui was about to take his friends to find a restaurant nearby for dinner, but before he had gone far, he suddenly heard the sound of a car horn nearby. Following the sound, Gu Zerui saw Qin Tianyi who parked the car aside and greeted him. "Zeri, where are you going?" Gu Zerui did not expect to see his brother-in-law on the road. Regarding Qin Tianyi, Gu Zerui had mixed feelings. This is the man who stole his sister! But my brother-in-law is really good to my sister, and my sister is also very happy, so Gu Zerui slowly forgave her brother-in-law in his heart. Hearing the brother-in-law''s question, Gu Zerui answered subconsciously, "Go to dinner with friends." Qin Tianyi heard, "Our restaurant is not far ahead, take friends to eat there, brother-in-law treats." Qin Tianyi still wanted to please his brother-in-law. His little wife and brother have a very good relationship, so Qin Tianyi also treats his brother-in-law as his own brother. While Gu Zerui was considering whether to go to his brother-in-law''s restaurant for dinner, Jiang Wei suddenly recognized Qin Tianyi''s identity! "Boss Qin!" She said in surprise, thinking of the performance of "Boss Qin" and "Xiao Qin" father and son on variety shows, and thinking of Boss Qin''s identity, and the background of Boss Qin''s wife... Now I heard President Qin claiming to be Gu Zerui''s brother-in-law, so Gu Zerui is actually the young master of Lan Gu Group? ! Besides Jiang Wei, Gu Zerui''s other three netizens are seldom interested in things other than games, so they don''t know the identity of Brother Rui''s brother-in-law. But when I heard ''Ginger'' calling the other party ''Boss Qin'', I thought the other party must be the small boss of some company. Just this moment, the distance between them and ''Brother Rui'' has been widened, and the class is poor~! So don¡¯t look at Rui Ge¡¯s young age, they call him ¡®Rui Ge¡¯, which is actually true! In the car, Qin Tianyi was not surprised to see someone recognize him. He is very clear that the parent-child variety show broadcast on TV a few months ago made him and his son into the public eye. In the past few months, he can always hear some passers-by whom he doesn''t know call him ''Boss Qin''. Obviously, those people knew him through variety shows. My brother-in-law''s friend recognized him, and Qin Tianyi looked at him, nodded slightly, as a greeting. But Jiang Wei was very excited! Not only because of Gu Zerui''s identity, but also because she actually met the real "President Qin"! President Qin is a model husband in the hearts of countless girls! Even Jiang Wei hopes that the man she meets in the future will be half as good as Mr. Qin, so she will be thankful. Compared to other girls who like certain actors and go after stars, Jiang Wei has such a mentality towards Mr. Qin. Qin is always his idol! If possible, she must ask Mr. Qin to sign it! Aside, after a brief consideration, Gu Zerui decided to accept his brother-in-law''s kindness. Brother-in-law is not short of the meal money, if I don''t agree, I will not give my brother-in-law face. So at noon, Gu Zerui brought the netizens to a star-rated restaurant that is now open all over the country and can be said to be famous! Although the three of them are not poor, they are the first to eat in a star-rated restaurant. After all, the price of meals in such a restaurant is not acceptable to ordinary income people. They are also thanks to ''Brother Rui'' today. "Brother Rui is indeed auspicious!" "Follow Ruige, that''s right!" "I just found out that Rui Ge''s ''thighs'' are so thick today!" ¡­ After dinner, Jiang Wei got Mr. Qin''s signature as she wished. Qin Tianyi would never sign his name to others, after all, his signature would only appear on various contracts. But for the sake of his brother-in-law, his friend made such a request, but he did not refuse. After a few people have eaten and drunk enough, they come out of the restaurant, without Gu Zerui saying, the three of them, ''Wise Man'', ''Invincible Iron Armor'', and ''Success and Fame'' have already suggested that everyone go to the Internet cafe to play games together. When you meet game netizens, of course you won¡¯t go on a tour. Games are the most important thing for them. Usually, they play independently, but now they can see Rui Ge''s operation skills with their own eyes, and the three of them are looking forward to it! Jiang Wei had no objection to going to the Internet cafe, so she went with her. Next, it¡¯s time for a few game lovers to meet real netizens¡ª On this day, Gu Zerui had a great time playing games. After Jiang Wei also learned of Gu Zerui''s identity, she completely gave up any thoughts about Gu Zerui''s emotional direction. The young master of the Langu Group, she...is not worthy! From then on, she became one of Gu Zerui''s netizens. (end of this chapter) Chapter 572: Dont do anything On the other side, after making arrangements for his brother-in-law, Qin Tianyi also went to the back kitchen to pack a snack to take away. He, the big boss of the restaurant, went to the restaurant himself, just to bring his little wife her favorite snacks. After returning home, Qin Tianyi didn''t tell his little wife about his brother-in-law meeting his friends for dinner. He is not such a talkative person. Xiao Qin recently had a holiday and went to work as a ''long-term worker'' at his grandparents'' house. Xiao Qin has a long way to make money. As long as he doesn''t go to school, he can''t stop going out to ''make money''. He is determined to help his father subsidize his family. Qin Tianyi really couldn''t bear to see his son busy at such a young age, but his young wife said that it is better for children to have more hobbies than to eat and play at home. The most important thing is that Xiao Qin doesn''t know who to follow, and puts making money first. Making money is not a burden to him, but a joy~! The day before the Chinese New Year, Xiao Qin returned from earning enough money from his grandparents. He happily divided a stack of hundred-yuan bills into two halves, kept one half for himself, and handed the other half to his mother for her to spend as she pleased. Xiao Qin has always been generous to his mother. Even though his father took care of him more since childhood, in his heart, he still puts his mother first. This is not only the emotional bond between mother and child, but also the precepts and deeds he learned from his father. Dad said that boys should take care of girls, and mothers are girls, so he should take good care of mothers. Dad puts Mom first, so naturally he should¡ª ¡­ One week later, New Year''s Day. Lan Shu and Xiao Bai took their son to the compound where Gu''s parents lived. Now that Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo have retired, on weekdays, Gu Anhui often drives around and takes his wife to various cities. The two of them have to go to a place every month, and they lived a leisurely and comfortable life in their later years. During the Chinese New Year last year, neither Gu Anguo nor Wei Qiushuang were in Kyoto, but went to the south and spent a warm winter. This year, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai received news that their elders had returned, so they came to see their parents. Gu Anguo is already seventy-one this year. Fortunately, he is in good health, not at all like an old man in his seventies. People in his fifties and sixties would believe him. Wei Qiushuang is also sixty-five years old this year. Her half-white hair has been dyed black, there are not many wrinkles on her face, and her dressing style is also younger. Judging from her appearance, she is in her early fifties at most. Seeing their son and daughter-in-law coming, both Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo smiled. Looking at his grandson who is about the same height as his own son, Gu Anguo sighed in his heart, time flies like an arrow, Rarity, who was a small group at the beginning, has grown up now! Gu Zerui was also very happy to see his grandparents. When he was young, he often went to his grandparents'' house, and he was relatively close to his grandparents. The family had lunch together. In the afternoon, Gu Zerui sat with his grandparents, chatting about his skipping grades in junior high and high school. Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo were never worried about their grandson''s studies. It''s just that after learning that his grandson plans to focus his career on games, the two elders don''t quite understand. "Isn''t games a pastime? Can it be a career?" When Gu Anguo asked this question, he actually didn''t agree with his grandson''s idea in his heart. But as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qiushuang glanced at him reproachfully. Although Wei Qiushuang can''t understand the matter of treating games as a career, as long as the son and daughter-in-law agree with their grandson''s ideas, then they have nothing to say. They are all the elders of the next generation. If they stretch their hands too far and take care of too many things, they will only be disliked by others. Wei Qiushuang held his grandson''s hand and said, "As long as Rarity thinks it''s okay." Even though Gu Anguo still wanted to persuade his grandson, but after listening to his wife, she had no objection, so what else could he say? ¡­ New Year''s Day, the same day. Kyoto, Lan Dazhuang''s home. Before the Chinese New Year this year, Lan Juncheng returned to China with his wife Qiao Qian. During the Chinese New Year, it is a very important day for Chinese people. It is also because of this that no matter how far away Lan Juncheng is, he never forgets to go home to see his parents. Lan Juncheng got married in the first half of last year. When he came back from the Chinese New Year, Qiao Qian had already had a six-month pregnant belly. Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu had received the news that their daughter-in-law was pregnant a long time ago. Now that they saw their daughter-in-law''s pregnant belly with their own eyes, their sense of anticipation for their offspring was even stronger. "Have you checked whether the child is a boy or a girl?" Tang Chu couldn''t help asking. Although she is equally happy whether it is a grandson or a granddaughter, there are too many people who check the gender of a child in this era, and Tang Chu is also curious. "It''s a girl." Josie replied. Qiao Qian had heard people say before that patriarchal thinking in China is still quite serious, so after telling the gender of her child, Qiao Qian was a little worried that her parents-in-law would be dissatisfied. But soon, she found that her thoughts were superfluous. When Tang Chu heard that she would soon have a granddaughter, the joy on her face was visible to the naked eye. "Hi granddaughter~!" She has only one son, Junjun. Junjun often played with Xiao Qingning when he was a child, so Tang Chu saw Xiao Qingning more often. She has always envied Lan Shu for having a daughter, and also likes girls very much. Now her daughter-in-law has a little girl in her belly, of course she is happy! Lan Dazhuang doesn''t care about grandsons or granddaughters. Whether it''s granddaughters or granddaughters, girls are more caring. On this day, when Lan Dazhuang''s family was happy to celebrate the New Year, Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto by bus. After Chang Chunfang was taken back to Linjiang City by Lan Xiuming in June last year, she lived at the home of her second son in Linjiang City for seven months. Originally, the three brothers had agreed that they would take care of the old lady and rotate every four months. But after Chang Chunfang lived in the house of her second son for four months, it was time to change places, but she did not leave on the grounds that she was not feeling well and did not want to move. Lan Xiuming is not the kind of son who would drive his mother out of the house. Although Tian Na had conflicts with her mother-in-law before, because Tian Na works in the hospital and is busy on weekdays, even if she is under the same roof, she can''t get along with her very well. The mother-in-law met. So it doesn''t matter to her that her mother-in-law lives in her house. Anyway, her mother-in-law has a nanny to take care of her physical condition. So Tian Na didn''t ask her mother-in-law to leave her house. In addition to this, there is another reason. Before Chang Chunfang left her third son''s house, she had conflicts with her third son. She personally said that Lan Sibo was no longer her son, so three months ago, when Lan Sibo went to Linjiang City to pick her up for the capital, Chang Chunfang lost her temper and refused to go. When Lan Xiuming saw this, he could probably see his mother''s mood, so he asked his third brother to go back first. Lan Sibo had no choice but to leave, that''s why Chang Chunfang lived in the second son''s house for such a long time. Chapter 573: different view Chapter 573 Different Statements Originally, this year, Chang Chunfang planned to live with her second son''s family, but after her second grandson Lan Haoran returned home from the winter vacation at the university, something happened between Chang Chunfang and her second grandson, and conflicts arose. It was Chinese New Year, she got angry and asked the nanny to take her to the capital by car alone¡ª ¡­ In Linjiang City, no one noticed Chang Chunfang''s disappearance at first. Lan Xiuming and Tian Na work in the hospital, even during holidays, they have to be on duty. Lan Haoran went out early in the morning. He finally had a vacation. During the vacation, he met his childhood friends and high school classmates, and the time passed like this. It wasn¡¯t until Lan Haoran returned home in the afternoon that he didn¡¯t know that grandma wasn¡¯t home. He even took a nap, and when he woke up in the evening, he found the house was quiet, so he realized that something was wrong. Later, Lan Haoran found out that grandma and the nanny were not at home, and then realized that grandma was gone¡ª In the hospital, Lan Xiuming and Tian Na also received a call from their son about ten minutes later and learned about the incident. The half-paralyzed, disabled mother and the nanny disappeared together. Lan Xiuming immediately asked for leave from the hospital, and then went to find someone near his home. Tian Na''s department is too busy to ask for leave, so she can only stay in the hospital. While looking for someone, Lan Xiuming didn''t forget to call his elder brother. Taking care of the **** nanny was found by the elder brother''s family. He wanted to see if he could contact the nanny through the elder brother, so as to find someone. Lan Dazhuang was also very anxious when he heard the news that his mother was missing, but the nanny''s cell phone couldn''t get through, and he couldn''t contact anyone. The nanny didn''t deliberately not answer the phone, but her mobile phone was a blue screen mobile phone from earlier years, and the battery was not durable. She forgot to charge it when she went out this morning, and the phone was dead and turned off! Lan Xiuming searched for a long time but found no news, until it was getting dark at night, he received a call from his elder brother¡ª¡ª "My mother found it!" Lan Dazhuang said, in the winter, a cold sweat broke out on his back! He never expected that his half-paralyzed mother would run hundreds of kilometers from Linjiang City to Kyoto with her nanny! Fortunately, the two of them can still find a place, otherwise the **** will be lost! In Linjiang City, Lan Xiuming finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his elder brother''s voice on the phone. But then, he was puzzled about the fact that his mother went to Kyoto without saying a word during the Chinese New Year. He didn''t understand that his mother lived well at home, why did he leave? In Kyoto, at Lan Dazhuang''s house, Lan Dazhuang also asked this doubt in his heart. Chang Chunfang was hungry all day and didn¡¯t eat much. The nanny cooked the meal. After the two of them were full, Chang Chunfang told the eldest son in that inarticulate voice¡ª "Da Zhuang, Hao Ran is my own grandson~! How could he dislike me?" Chang Chunfang''s tone of voice was quite aggrieved, and Lan Dazhuang listened to the **** talk, and gradually realized what was going on. It turned out that his nephew Lan Haoran came home from the winter vacation and learned that his grandma was ill, so he just greeted her. Afterwards, Chang Chunfang missed her grandson and wanted to get in touch with him more. She asked her how she was doing at school and if she had a girlfriend, but her grandson didn''t want to chat with her at all! Chang Chunfang felt that her grandson found her annoying, so she deliberately avoided her and stayed away from home every day. It happened to be Chinese New Year, Lan Xiuming and Tian Na went to the hospital early in the morning, Lan Haoran also went out, and when Chang Chunfang woke up, she and the nanny were left at home. She felt that her life was so boring! Other old ladies have a group of children and grandchildren during the New Year, and the whole family is by their side, but she is left at home by her son and grandson. Where is it still celebrating Chinese New Year? ! Chang Chunfang was so angry that she asked the nanny to take her to the capital. The old lady had the same mentality as when she left her third son''s house. She lacked this son and had another son! Chang Chunfang felt that the eldest son was the most filial, so she came to his side. After hearing the reason why his mother left his second brother''s house, Lan Dazhuang felt speechless for a while. As for this matter, how about driving a half-paralyzed body for hundreds of kilometers on impulse? And Lan Dazhuang didn''t believe that his nephew was the kind of person who disliked his elders. Although Lan Dazhuang and Lan Haoran have not met many times, he can also see that his nephew is good-natured, polite and humble, completely different from the Lan Haoran his mother said! So what''s going on? That night, Lan Dazhuang comforted his mother, and after waiting for Chang Chunfang to fall asleep, he walked out of the house and went to the yard to call his second brother. Lan Xiuming, because of the fact that his mother got lost during the day, even though he was found, he still couldn''t calm down, and couldn''t sleep at night. Receiving a call from his eldest brother, Lan Xiuming immediately asked how his mother was doing in Kyoto. Lan Dazhuang always speaks directly, so he told his second brother about his **** complaints. Lan Dazhuang wasn''t complaining about his second brother''s family for not taking good care of his mother, but just asking what was going on. What he is most concerned about is whether his nephew is really like his mother said, as a grandson, but he dislikes grandma? Lan Xiuming learned the reason why his mother ran away, and immediately called his son over! He doesn''t know much about the situation at home, so he has to ask his son if he is disrespectful to grandma! ¡­ In Lan Xiuming''s house, Lan Haoran, who was reading a book in the room, was suddenly approached by his father and asked him how he got along with his grandma on weekdays. Although what his father said was an inquiry, Lan Haoran could already hear the seriousness in his father''s tone. Lan Haoran knew that something must have happened! When mentioning grandma, Lan Haoran couldn''t help frowning. Since Dad asked the question on his own initiative, he will answer truthfully. When talking about grandma, he has almost endless words! ¡ª ¡°From the first day I came home from vacation, I knew that my grandma was sick, so I put down my luggage and went to see grandma right away.¡± ¡°Grandma was very enthusiastic about me and asked me a lot of things, such as life in school and whether I have a girlfriend, and I answered them truthfully.¡± "That day I chatted with my grandma all afternoon, and then I saw that grandma was tired, so I went to rest for a while." "After dinner in the evening, I was studying in the house. Grandma suddenly pushed the door of my room open with a cane, and wanted to continue chatting with me." "The next day, grandma was still enthusiastic. Even if we talked too much and there was nothing to talk about, she wanted me to stay by her side, even if she just stared at me." "Dad, uncle, I want to rest and relax when I come back from vacation, but I am more tired at home than at school!" "So I went out early in the morning. Instead of being stared at by my grandma at home, I might as well go out to meet friends." Lan Haoran felt aggrieved after saying these words! (end of this chapter) Chapter 574: support problem Lan Haoran made a study plan for himself before the holiday, but because of his grandma, he couldn''t carry it on! Originally, he could complete the learning content before 8:30 p.m., but because of grandma¡¯s interruptions many times, he even stayed up until 11 o¡¯clock to finish the day¡¯s study. In recent days, he has not gone out during the day to meet friends and classmates. Sometimes he would sit in the small garden near his home for a while, reading a book in the open air in the freezing cold, his hands and feet were almost numb from the cold¡ª After Lan Haoran answered his father''s question, Lan Xiuming and Lan Dazhuang on the phone were silent for a while. They didn''t doubt the authenticity of Lan Haoran''s words, and they also understood the reason why their mother said that her grandson disliked her. It¡¯s not that they dislike it, but that their mother misses their grandson so much that it disturbs his normal life! After learning the details, Lan Dazhuang comforted his nephew on the phone, and then hung up the phone. Next, his mother has already come to Kyoto, so let¡¯s live with him after that. After waiting for a few months, he will rotate to other younger brothers'' homes. In the future, he will try to avoid letting his mother go to the second brother''s house during winter and summer vacations. In this way, there should be no more contradictions in similar situations. ¡­ Lan Shu didn''t know that Chang Chunfang was staying at the eldest son''s house. Lanshu and Xiaobai went to visit her elders at her biological parents'' house on the second day of junior high school, and waited for their daughter, son-in-law, and grandson to come to the house in the third junior high school. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there was nothing to do today, so she went to the homes of her eldest brother and third brother to wish them New Year greetings. As for the second brother''s house, she didn''t go there because it was far away. And the adoptive mother is at the second brother''s house, so she doesn''t really want to see her. But Lan Shu didn''t expect that when she arrived at her eldest brother''s house, as soon as she entered the door, she would see her adoptive mother sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of her eldest brother''s house. Lan Shu was startled by the scene in front of her. And when Chang Chunfang saw Lan Shu, she immediately became happy~! "Shu Shu is here, sit down." Chang Chunfang''s voice was not very clear, because of her physical condition, she even spit uncontrollably when she spoke. Lan Shu''s current relationship with her adoptive mother, of course she would not go to her adoptive mother. Xiao Bai on the side was also very surprised. Before he came, he didn''t know when Aunt Chunfang came to Brother Da Zhuang''s house. At this time, Tang Chu heard the movement and came out from the kitchen. "Lan Shu, you are here." Although Tang Chu and Lan Shu are sisters-in-law, they were friends and subordinates when they first met. So in terms of address, the two did not call each other according to sister-in-law and sister-in-law, but called each other''s name. Lan Shu nodded and asked Xiao Bai to pass the gift box in his hand to Tang Chu, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room of the eldest brother''s house. But even if Lan Shu sat down, she didn''t sit next to her adoptive mother. Instead, he chose the position on the sofa farthest from his adoptive mother. Seeing Lan Shu''s move, Chang Chunfang''s smiling face instantly froze. She seemed a little embarrassed, but she still tried her best to find a topic, "Shu Shu, have you been busy recently?" "Busy." Lan Shu nodded, and then continued what her adoptive mother said, "So I came with Xiao Bai today, just to visit the elder brother''s house, and we will go back to work later." Lan Shu originally planned to have lunch at her eldest brother''s house, but now, she is no longer in that mood. After she finished speaking, she got up directly, put away the gifts at Tang Chu, and when she turned around and walked over, she immediately said goodbye to Tang Chu. Tang Chu could understand Lan Shu''s thoughts, so she didn''t stop her, but just said to Lan Shu, "Will you be at home tomorrow? Then Junjun will bring his wife to your place for a sit-down." Lan Shu nodded and said, "No problem." Soon after that, he and Xiao Bai left the eldest brother''s house together. ¡­ The two of them just went out when they met Lan Dazhuang who came back from the outside. Seeing the younger sister and brother-in-law coming to the house, but looking like they were going to leave, Lan Dazhuang didn''t stop him. As an older brother, he understands why his little sister is leaving. But before leaving, he still said to the younger sister, "In two days, we brothers and sisters will gather at your place." When he said these words, Lan Dazhuang suddenly realized that his own mother had been someone who needed to be avoided in the hearts of their children¡ª Lan Shu didn''t know what her elder brother was thinking at the moment, but of course she agreed with his proposal! The brothers and sisters rarely get together because of their busy schedules. Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year must sit down and have a meal together. "Then see you then." Lan Shu said. After she finished speaking, she waved her hand to her elder brother, and then she and Xiao Bai got into the car parked in front of the elder brother''s house and returned home. Fortunately, there are still a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator at home. Otherwise, they didn''t plan to eat at home at all, and they didn''t know what to do with the meal at noon... ¡­ The next day, Lan Juncheng brought his wife, Qiao Qian, to the house of his aunt, Lan Shu, to visit the elders. Lanshu and Xiaobai warmly received them. Another day later, Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu, Lan Sibo, Yu Xia and their three-year-old daughter, Lan Yanran, also came to Lanshu and Xiaobai''s house. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the babysitter has come to work today, so the siblings had a hearty lunch together! It was also at this time that Lan Sibo learned the news that his mother had come to Kyoto. At the same time, their old lady asked the nanny to take them to the elder brother''s house for the Chinese New Year. It must be an unpleasant time at the second brother''s place. Lan Dazhuang didn''t hide anything from his brother, and told Lan Sibo about the situation of Haoran''s nephew on the second side. Lan Sibo is the most educated of the three Lan brothers. Of course, he can understand how he feels when he is interrupted by his elders when he is reading and studying. And the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at by elders all the time. Lan Sibo sighed, "Hao Ran''s reaction is understandable, our mother is really pushing the child too hard." Lan Dazhuang nodded, and then he heard his third brother say, "Our mother should live where I live, but with our mother''s current situation, it may be difficult to move." As Lan Sibo said, he thought for a moment before continuing, "Brother, let our mother stay with you for a few days less this time, and let our mother come to live with me when the time comes, you have to talk to her more Do the mental work." As Lan Sibo said, none of the brothers had any intention of escaping from the matter of supporting the elders. They want to take care of them, but their mother has difficulty coming to an agreement with them. Every time they want to pick up their mother to live at home, there will always be some unexpected problems for them. There is a song called ''Don''t guess what a woman thinks''. Now the three brothers of the Lan family feel that they can''t guess what the old lady is thinking~! Chapter 575: lack of money Listening to the conversation between the eldest brother and the third brother, Lan Shu, as an adopted daughter, could only sigh for her brothers. Now she is even a little thankful that she is not the biological daughter of her adoptive mother. She thought of Lan Xinya''s difficulty when she appeared in the early years, and she seemed to have a bit of a mother-daughter resemblance to her adoptive mother after she got old... ¡­ At this time in Kyoto, in a small private house near Huamei Shopping Mall. During the past few days of Chinese New Year, Lan Xinya has never been idle. Other businessmen will close their doors from New Year''s Eve, and will reopen after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. But in order to make more money, she did not take a day off during the Chinese New Year. Lan Xinya has been running a small clothing store for these years and is in the clothing business. Her storefront has grown from a small storefront to two storerooms today. Although her business is good, she doesn''t earn much because of small profits but quick turnover. After all these years, the money she saved in her hand can almost afford the down payment of rising housing prices in Kyoto. Lan Xinya never thought that the more she saved, the farther away she would be from buying a house! The rise in housing prices is out of her control. At first, she thought about buying a house with all the money after saving enough money, but she scoffed at the matter of buying a house with a loan. But now, she just wants to buy a house with a loan, and the down payment is still a bit short! Because of the Chinese New Year, every household is busy visiting relatives. In fact, there are not many people shopping for clothes. So Lan Xinya opened a store for a few days, only two days on the fourth and fifth day of the new year, and sold a few pieces of clothing, earning a profit of 100 yuan. Lan Xinya feels that the market for selling clothes is getting worse and worse, but she doesn''t know what else to do besides selling clothes for so many years. She tried to find a job in some small companies, but considering her size and age, no one would recruit her as a secretary. So Lan Xinya resigned to her fate, and she can only sell clothes for the rest of her life... On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Lan Xinya was sitting in the store waiting for customers to come to her door when she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside the door¡ª Meng Dabao came by himself, and brought a box of eggs and a pot of peanut oil for his mother. "Mom, Happy Chinese New Year." Meng Dabao kept this belated New Year greeting from his family. He is now in contact with his own mother, which even his wife doesn''t know about. Meng Dabao is a simple-minded person. Even though he knows that his father, grandpa, and grandma all have opinions on his mother, he doesn''t want him to have anything to do with his mother. But in his heart, Lan Xinya is indeed his real mother. Even if his mother is irresponsible to him, takes little care of him, and even cheats him of money, but he doesn''t have to deal with his mother on weekdays, and he still has to come and see it during the Chinese New Year. When Lan Xinya saw Meng Dabao, she felt somewhat complicated. After so many years, she has seen it through. All the people around her are deserted, and only her son still thinks of her. Thinking of this, Lan Xinya felt somewhat guilty. She used breast cancer as an excuse to take thousands of dollars from her son... Fortunately, the son did not cut off contact with her because of this incident. Lan Xinya feels that her own son can still be relied on in the future. So Lan Xinya thought about it, and then she mentioned one thing to her son¡ª "Dabao, do you have money?" When Meng Dabao heard his mother mention the money, he almost instinctively put up his defenses! Lan Xinya saw Meng Dabao''s nervousness, and she immediately explained, "Son, Mom wants to buy a house, and now there is still 10,000 yuan short of the down payment. Mom is just you, and in the future, Mom''s money and house will be yours." of." Lan Xinya spoke the truth, she was indeed the heir to the inheritance of Meng Dabao. It''s just that when her son can inherit the inheritance, I don''t know if it will be decades later. It depends on how many years she, Lan Xinya, can live. Judging from Lan Xinya''s current body, if there are no accidents, she may live to her seventies and eighties. By then, Meng Dabao will also become an old man, and her inheritance will not mean much to him. Knowing that his mother wanted to buy a house, Meng Dabao hesitated for a moment. He still has 10,000 yuan, and now he can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month on the construction site! It''s just that all his money is handed over to his wife for safekeeping, and he doesn''t have that much in his own hands. If you give money to his mother, you must let your wife know. Meng Dabao wasn''t sure if his wife would agree to it. Meng Dabao''s hesitation, in Lan Xinya''s view, is an opportunity! She immediately persuaded again, "Dabao, Mom has been in Kyoto for so many years, and she still doesn''t have a house. Do you think you are helping Mom?" Lan Xinya understands her son''s temperament best, and Meng Dabao will definitely soften his heart when she says this! So within a few minutes, Meng Dabao made up his mind. He raised his head and said to Lan Xinya, "Mom, I''ll go back and discuss this matter with my wife." Speaking of daughter-in-law, Lan Xinya had something to say again. "Dabao, you have been married for so many years, and your children are several years old. You have never brought your daughter-in-law and children to see your mother. Mom also wants to see her daughter-in-law and grandson." Lan Xinya''s words are still from her heart. Now that she is alone in Kyoto, she really wants to have more relatives. My mother wants to see her daughter-in-law and grandson, no matter what, it should be done. Meng Dabao didn''t immediately agree, but he also kept this matter in his heart. "Mom, I will tell my wife when I go back." He thought it over, if the wife is willing to come to see his mother, he will bring her here. Lan Xinya nodded when she heard that, "Is your wife''s name Zhou Lan? You must talk to your wife when you go back. Mom wants to see her." That day, after visiting his own mother, Meng Dabao told his daughter-in-law about these things when he got home... ¡­ Zhou Lan is now doing sales in a large shopping mall here in Kyoto, her job is stable, and her salary is not low. A woman who has money has confidence, and her status in the Meng family is not low, so she can be said to be able to speak. So Zhou Lan has also known about her man''s situation from childhood to adulthood. She knew that her man had a real mother. Also knew that the real mother was the culprit who caused her man''s mental insanity! She even knew that before she married his man, that mother cheated her man out of money. Zhou Lan didn''t have a good impression of her man''s mother. So just after the New Year''s Eve, when her man told her that her mother wanted to buy a house and needed 10,000 yuan, Zhou Lan didn''t hesitate at all, and directly told Meng Dabao, "We don''t have enough money to buy a house ourselves. .¡± Although Meng Dabao and his wife had a place to live in the Meng family, as their son grew up, the house was too crowded after all. Zhou Lan has long planned to buy a house outside the husband and wife, and is also working hard towards this goal. According to her plan, she and her man only need to save money for two or three years before they can buy a second-hand small house. So it is impossible for her to give others the money she already lacks! Chapter 576: Cant take advantage Zhou Lan is not a vain woman, she doesn''t ask for a good house, as long as the three of them can have a place to settle down. And she listened to her man, her man''s mother wanted to get the down payment for the house? Nowadays, the houses purchased with down payment are all kinds of large-scale community houses. The unit price of one square meter of houses in such places is three or four times more expensive than ordinary second-hand small private houses! Zhou Lan dared not even think about developing a new house in the community. But her man''s own mother wanted to buy that kind of new house, how could she take the money out? Fortunately, Meng Dabao is a person who listens to advice. After Zhou Lan told Meng Dabao about her family''s plan to buy a house, as well as the progress of saving money and how much money she is short of, Meng Dabao lowered his head. The daughter-in-law is right, they really need a house too. Their son is seven years old this year, and he still sleeps in the same room as his husband and wife. As the son grows up, the son must have a separate room. So they got to have their own house! Meng Dabao decided to find time to go to his mother''s clothing store again recently. His own mother wants to buy a house, and he can''t help it. As for the mother who wants to see her daughter-in-law and grandson... After Meng Dabao talked to his wife, Zhou Lan agreed. It''s just that what she promised was to see her mother-in-law by herself. She didn''t want any relationship between her son and her man''s mother. ¡­ Zhou Lan didn''t find time to go to her mother-in-law''s clothes store until three days later. She asked Meng Dabao about the location of the store in advance, and came here alone. Lan Xinya didn''t know Zhou Lan, it was Zhou Lan who revealed her identity, and Lan Xinya knew that this was her daughter-in-law. Lan Xinya heard people say that her daughter-in-law came from a small place. She originally thought that her daughter-in-law was a little woman who had no vision, no ideas, and let her go. Seeing her face, looking at her daughter-in-law''s neat and professional attire, Lan Xinya suddenly found that her cognition was biased¡ª Zhou Lan is usually very busy, so she didn''t waste any time and went straight to the topic. "Meng Dabao said that you want to buy a house and want to borrow money from us. I''m sorry about this. We are also powerless and can''t help you." What Zhou Lan said meant that she didn''t agree with ''borrowing money'', let alone Lan Xinya''s original words were to ask her son to give her the money directly. You don¡¯t have to pay back the money you took! When Lan Xinya heard Zhou Lan''s words, she originally wanted to put on a smiley face with her daughter-in-law, but her expression froze instantly. But even so, she still didn''t want to completely tear herself apart from her daughter-in-law in front of her! She tried her best to squeeze out a smile, and said to Zhou Lan, "Daughter-in-law, Dabao probably didn''t make it clear to you. I''m the only son, and all mine will be his from now on." "Now I want to buy a house, and I will get 10,000 yuan from you, and I will put in more! After I am gone, the house will be yours, which is a good thing!" Lan Xinya''s words sounded like a good thing, and there was nothing wrong with it. In the eyes of outsiders, if Zhou Lan refuses to agree, it will be really short-sighted. But because Zhou Lan came from a small place, she has a serious mind and believes that there will be no pie in the sky. It¡¯s always right to work **** your own to live your life. She thinks that there are not so many good things waiting for her when she fantasizes about unrealistic behaviors and thinks about other people¡¯s little property. So Zhou Lan shook her head, "It''s not that I don''t help you, it''s because our family''s ability is limited." "Actually, we want to buy a house, and we are short of tens of thousands of dollars. I came this time thinking that since you are Dabao''s own mother, the mother can always support your son buying a house, right?" When Zhou Lan spoke, her tone slowed down, as if she was short of money and looking for money. "Don''t worry, we don''t take your money for nothing, it is Dabao who borrowed it from you, and we will return it to you in a few years." Zhou Lan''s tone was sincere, and she didn''t take advantage of others at all. Seeing Zhou Lan say that, Lan Xinya was stunned! She still wanted to ask her son for money, but now her daughter-in-law asked her instead! ? Money has been wasted in the past ten years or so! If she really lends tens of thousands of dollars to her daughter-in-law now, the same tens of thousands in a few years will be worth less than it is now! If she borrows it, she is a fool! And Zhou Lan didn''t really want to borrow money, she just used the method of borrowing money to keep Meng Dabao''s own mother away from them. She wants to follow Lan Xinya''s path, leaving Lan Xinya nowhere to go! Zhou Lan''s behavior really made Lan Xinya stop thinking about taking money from her son. Lan Xinya also noticed that her daughter-in-law is not easy to handle! It is almost impossible for me to take advantage of my daughter-in-law. Lan Xinya suddenly became unhappy with Zhou Lan, her daughter-in-law¡ª But Zhou Lan came, and she really didn''t intend to leave easily. She stayed in the store for a while, using the excuse of small talk, to ask all kinds of questions about her man, her own mother. Ask her if the business in the store is good, how much money she makes, and how much money she saves. also persuaded, "You are at this age, why do you still buy a house? If you have money, you should buy a house for your son~!" Zhou Lan did this on purpose, but Lan Xinya was disgusted. Seeing that her daughter-in-law was thinking about her money, Lan Xinya couldn''t help avoiding her¡ª In the end, in order to keep this daughter-in-law away from her, Lan Xinya even posted two sets of clothes upside down, saying that she would give them to her daughter-in-law, and then sent Zhou Lan away. Although it was the first time for Zhou Lan to meet her man, her own mother, she couldn''t be more clear about this mother-in-law''s calculations~! She grew up in the village and has seen many similar women since she was a child. She felt that what she did today would make her mother-in-law stop thinking about taking money from her son for a while, right? As for the two sets of clothes given by her mother-in-law, Zhou Lan didn''t take them for nothing. The money her man was cheated by his mother back then was more than enough to buy ten sets of clothes! Zhou Lan decided that as long as she is around in the future, she will never let her man suffer at any time! ¡­ On the other side, Yuncheng Prison. After twenty years, Gu Cheng went in again. Although the prison this time is not the same place as last time, it still cannot change the fact that he is in prison. The climate in Yuncheng is relatively warm, the air is humid, the prison is dark and humid, and most of the iron fences are rusty. In the same cell as Gu Cheng, there are four or five other people, all of whom are habitual offenders who have done all kinds of sneaky things outside. Usually, newcomers come to their room, and they have to teach the newcomers a lesson for everything they say. But within a week after Gu Cheng came in, he tamed them all¡ª Gu Cheng has been doing well among those shady forces outside, so he naturally has a way to deal with these little guys. But even if he can guarantee that he will not be bullied in prison, he still can''t get out of here. Gu Cheng is very clear that although his crime this time seems to be less serious than the attempted murder last time, in fact, once the evidence is convincing, the sentence will be heavier than the last time! Chapter 577: reality and dream Gu Cheng never imagined that he would be defeated in an instant when his career was at its peak¡ª¡ª After thinking about it for a while, he realized that he was being used by someone! He worked hard and managed for many years to integrate the underground forces in so many cities. In the end, someone took it all at once! In this situation, he would not believe that no one set him up and was waiting to collect the net! As for who is the person who is plotting against him secretly. The first thing Gu Cheng thought of was his brother Gu Jue who deserved to die a long time ago! But does Gu Jue have such great ability? Gu Cheng doesn''t think Gu Jue has that kind of ability, if it is said that it is Mr. Wei''s handwriting, he still believes it. Master Kewei has long since died¡ª So the most likely thing about this matter is that I was really targeted by the law enforcement system! Even been targeted long ago. Instead of planting recently... Gu Cheng was imprisoned for two months and spent the Chinese New Year in prison. Not long after the year, he finally waited for the verdict. The result of this sentence is 12 years in prison. This is because some evidence is not conclusive enough, so he was not sentenced to a heavier sentence. But even twelve years is too long for him! He is fifty-three this year. Even if he is well maintained, he looks at most forty years old, but his age is there. He is not young anymore... If there are another 12 years of prison life, when he comes out, he won''t be in his thirties before, and he still has the capital to make a comeback. He may be completely finished this time¡ª The only thing Gu Cheng regrets now is that he didn''t do something to Gu Jue sooner! The smooth and willful life of the previous twenty years made him gradually lost. In addition to Gu Jue''s daughter-in-law Lan Shu, the business has grown stronger and stronger. He wants to wait until he is completely sure before making a move. But the result is that time flies, and he has reached this age in a blink of an eye... Gu Cheng is not reconciled, but there is no way to change the status quo. The desperation in his heart for the future life made him even have the idea of ??not wanting to live and suffer. Such thoughts became more and more intense in Gu Cheng''s mind, so that he spent every day in a daze. Although he still eats, drinks, and sleeps as usual on weekdays, his mental energy is clearly getting worse and worse. Until one day, Gu Cheng had a dream¡ª ¡­ When he woke up, Gu Cheng found himself in prison. Beside him are five inmates in the same cell. Of the five people, three are younger, and two are old rascals. The five of them treated him respectfully, and when they saw that he was awake, they immediately lowered their eyebrows and put on a pleasing attitude. But this is not the key. In his dream, Gu Cheng dreamed of a completely different life from his present one! So much so that when he just woke up, he still had an unreal feeling, which made him unclear whether it was reality or a dream. It wasn''t until he saw his situation clearly that he realized that he was just having a dream. That dream was an absolute dream for him! In my dream, my career is successful, as a celebrity in the business world, my reputation resounds throughout the country¡ª He has countless money, and he became the richest man in the country before he was forty! Beside him, there are beauties. To Gu Cheng''s surprise, that beauty turned out to be Lan Xinya! Gu Cheng still has an impression of Lan Xinya. Many years ago, Lan Xinya was his girlfriend. He couldn''t remember the exact appearance of Lan Xinya at that time, but he probably remembered that Lan Xinya was a gentle and delicate girl. Later, he met Lan Xinya several times, and the impression Lan Xinya left on him was refreshed every time. The last time he saw Lan Xinya, Lan Xinya had turned into an ugly fat woman. But in his dream, even though Lan Xinya was in her thirties, she was mature and charming, had a good relationship with him, and was treated wholeheartedly by him. In addition to the huge difference between Lan Xinya''s dream and reality, the Gu Jue in the dream is also completely different from the Gu Jue in reality! Gu Cheng clearly remembered that in the dream, Gu Jue did not marry Lan Shu, nor did he have the achievements he has now. That Gu Jue had an accident after going to Qingyang County more than 20 years ago. Gu Jue disappeared for three or four years. Although he always confronted himself after returning home, Gu Jue was too immature. He could make all his efforts go in vain just by raising his hand! That Gu Jue was like a ''little mouse'' trying to jump up in front of him, and he was playing with him in the palm of his hand. Thinking of the situation in the dream, Gu Cheng felt that when he had this dream, he must be smiling. Gu Cheng was so obsessed with recalling everything in the dream that he was in a daze for a while. Until the ''little brother'' beside him couldn''t help calling him, "Master Gu, are you alright?" Gu Cheng came back to his senses. Being interrupted by his younger brother made Gu Cheng very unhappy. He frowned and told everyone to shut up! Then he lay back on the bed again, closed his eyes, settled down and continued to think about the things in his dream. In his dream, his career is quite successful, and anyone in front of him can only serve as a foil for him! If he wanted to describe his status accurately, he felt that he in his dream might be more powerful than Lan Shu in reality¡ª correct! In his dream, Lan Shu never existed from the beginning to the end. Maybe there is? He racked his brains to think, and finally realized that in his dream, he seemed to have heard Lan Xinya say that her parents had a daughter. That daughter grew up in the countryside and couldn''t adapt to life in a big city at all. Besides, she was fat, ugly, and divorced, embarrassing the Lan family! That Lan Shu usually doesn''t go out much. After that, there was no news of Lan Shu in the dream. As if this person just existed and then disappeared. How could there be such a big difference between the Lanshu in the dream and the Lanshu in reality? It''s like the self in the dream and the present self, the situation is very different! Gu Cheng was thinking, if everything in the dream is real, if that is the reality! Unfortunately, what is before him now is only the rest of his life in prison... After this dream, Gu Cheng would occasionally dream of that beautiful dream that was completely different from his current situation. In the boring prison life, sweet dreams are his only spiritual support¡ª¡ª He sometimes even unrealistically hopes that his dreams will come true. He began to escape from reality, lost his mind, and felt that his life in a dream was real, and the current prison disaster was an illusion! ¡­ Two months later, Gu Cheng has gradually begun to lose sight of reality. After his condition was discovered, the prison doctor examined him and finally concluded that Gu Cheng suffered from mental illness. People with mental problems are no longer fit to stay in prison. Gu Cheng was changed to another place and went to a mental hospital. This is not a prison, but a prison. He still has no personal freedom, locked in a room, and takes various medicines every day. Chapter 578: Do not force Chapter 578 Don''t force it In the psychiatric hospital, there are occasional doctors who know Gu Cheng''s background and know his evil deeds, and will deliberately treat him harshly. Someone even took him to the treatment room, gave him electric shock therapy¡ª Every time he was shocked by electric shock, Gu Cheng would wake up for a short time and recognize his current situation. He is not the successful entrepreneur in that dream, but developed in a dark place, and finally fell to the point of being imprisoned! Gu Cheng is unwilling to believe everything in reality, so after the electric shock, he is still the psychopath who can''t distinguish dreams from reality. Gu Anguo didn''t know about Gu Cheng''s imprisonment and mental illness until a few months later, when the temperature turned warm and the flowers bloomed in May. Gu Anguo''s life in his later years was quite comfortable, which was envied by many people. Everyone thought that he would have no regrets in this life, but no one knew that he never forgot that he had another son. A son with a vicious heart and a terrible behavior! As for that son, Gu Anguo hasn''t heard from him for about ten or twenty years. Even the elder son is dead or alive, he doesn''t know. But suddenly one day, he learned that his eldest son had been arrested, and the charges on his body would make the eldest son spend the rest of his life in prison. Immediately afterwards, the old friend who informed him of this incident said, "Gu Cheng is crazy now. The doctor said that he has a serious mental illness. He was released from prison two months ago and entered a mental hospital." Listening to the voice on the phone, Gu Anguo froze in place¡ª "An Guo, if you want to see him, I''ll help you go to the mental hospital to say hello..." "I''ll go." Gu Anguo replied. Gu Cheng is his own son, even if Gu Cheng is unbearable and connected by blood, it is impossible for him to ignore his son. Gu Cheng committed crimes, whether he went to prison or to a mental hospital, he was powerless to change the result. All he can do is visit his son as a father. Thus, Gu Anguo missed the trip that he and his wife planned to travel to a water town. He and his wife mentioned this matter, and then he took the driver alone, went to Yuncheng, and went straight to Yuncheng Mental Hospital¡ª ¡­ Yuncheng is a small city located in the southwest. The population here is not too dense, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Whether it is Gu Chengjin''s prison before or the mental hospital today, there is no shortage of bugs and rats in daily life. Gu Anguo got off the car in front of the psychiatric hospital, and when he entered the ward building, he saw a big mouse crawling into the sewer not far away. Thinking of the environment his son is in now, Gu Anguo sighed in his heart. But his son deserved all of this, so he didn''t feel bad. Gu Anguo is seventy-two this year, with half-white hair, and his figure has long lost the straightness of his youth. In the eyes of the doctors in the mental hospital, this is an old father who is about to step into the coffin with half a foot to see his son who is also in his old age. When Gu Anguo saw Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng was sleeping in a closed ward. He fell asleep with a happy smile on his face. "Mr. Gu, your son is often like this. He sleeps most of the time. He thinks that he is real in his dreams, and reality is just a dream." Said the doctor in the psychiatric hospital who was responsible for recording Gu Cheng''s condition. "Can''t distinguish between reality and dream..." Gu Anguo''s voice choked. He understood that this was Gu Cheng''s escape from reality. I knew this earlier, so why bother? have already reached this age, even if it is too late to regret it! "Oh~" Gu Anguo sighed, then turned to the doctor and said, "Can I see him?" "It is possible, but the patient needs to be physically restrained to prevent him from losing control of his emotions and hurting others when he is ill." The doctor replied. Psychopaths should be treated in this way. Mental patients are different from normal people, and no one knows what they will do. Just in case, it must be constrained. Gu Anguo nodded and agreed with the doctor. An hour later, in an empty room, he saw his eldest son Gu Cheng, who was tied to an iron chair by a restraint belt¡ª At this time, Gu Cheng had already woken up. When he saw Gu Anguo for the first time, Gu Cheng did not recognize who the old man in front of him was. Until Gu Anguo called out "Gu Cheng." Gu Chengcai could tell from the voice that was still deep in his memory even though he was old, that the old man in front of him turned out to be his father! Gu Cheng was stunned. Even though he was mentally ill, he still remembered his father. Facing Gu Anguo, his first reaction was to dodge¡ª¡ª From a very young age, he wanted to prove to his father that he was the most proud son of his father. He wanted his dad to feel that the elder son was much better than the younger son. It is precisely because of this that Gu Jue cannot be tolerated in his eyes! But now, his most embarrassing scene, his most failed appearance was seen by his father, and he had no face to face his father! On the opposite side, Gu Anguo saw his son''s reaction, and he knew that his son''s consciousness was clear at this time. Then the son can hear what he wants to say to his son. Gu Anguo sighed, and called his son again, "Gu Cheng, I... come to see you." Gu Anguo said, his voice paused, and then he continued. "I know about your illness. If you think that dreams will make you happier, then don''t force yourself to be sober. It''s better for you to be here in the future. It should be better than life in prison." "After all, we are father and son. As long as I am still alive, I will send some money to the mental hospital regularly, so that the doctor will prepare some delicious food for you occasionally." "I can''t do anything else... Alas~" Gu Anguo couldn''t help but sigh again. When Gu Cheng heard what his elderly father said at this time, Gu Cheng felt complicated. In reality, he wanted to be his father''s best son, so he did whatever he could to make his father sad. He did not go home for more than twenty years, and did not accompany his father to fulfill his filial piety. And in his dream, he hated his father to the core! Because my father would not hesitate to give out everything in the family to help his youngest son when Gu Jue was in trouble. At the back, when Gu Jue was stepped on by him, his father would appear in front of him, even if he knelt down with him for the sake of his youngest son, he would ask him to let Gu Jue go. Gu Cheng is jealous of his younger brother, who can easily get what he asks for! Wealth and women in reality, fatherly love in dreams. In the dream, he has wealth, but no family affection! In reality, all the wealth in his hands is shady, and even all the wealth was confiscated in one day! Gu Cheng discovered that he had lived for so many years, but he was actually a failure! (end of this chapter) Chapter 579: will Gu Anguo did not stay in the mental hospital for too long. Because soon, Gu Cheng was emotionally agitated under self-denial, and his mind became chaotic again. He no longer has a clear boundary between reality and dreams, and fell into a state of psychosis. Gu Anguo, just as he said, left some money for the mental hospital to improve his son''s food every now and then. The hospital does not refuse the demands of these family members. As long as the money is in place, the matter will be settled. After Gu Anguo left, Gu Cheng''s daily mental state became less and less clear. He seemed to have listened carefully to Gu Anguo''s words, whether it was reality or a dream, he lived in the way he was most comfortable with. As Gu Cheng''s condition became more and more serious, electroshock therapy almost became his daily routine. I don¡¯t know from which day, Gu Cheng suddenly seemed to be a different person after the electric shock treatment¡ª¡ª He is no longer confused about reality, nor is he frantically resisting the doctor''s treatment for him. He seems to have calmed down, actively cooperating with the doctor''s treatment, and looks like a normal person. Only the mentally ill patients in the same ward with him, in the dead of night, would hear him say in a suppressed voice, "How is this possible! This is not the life I should have!" "How can I... go back?" Perhaps Gu Cheng at this time is no longer the original Gu Cheng. Instead, his mind and body were completely occupied by Gu Cheng in the ''dream''. Gu wants to get out of the mental hospital, wants to get rid of the current life! ¡ª¡ª However, Gu Cheng seems to have forgotten that even if he is released from the mental hospital, he will not be able to regain his freedom. Before he entered the mental hospital, he still had more than ten years in prison! Once he goes out, what is waiting is not a new life, but the torment in the iron fence. But at this time, Gu Cheng really forgot about these things... ¡­ July, summer is hot. Kyoto, the Gu family in the compound. Gu Anguo has given money to the mental hospital in Yuncheng for two consecutive months, so that the life of the eldest son can be improved. Wei Qiushuang knew about this. Since two months ago, after her husband returned from Yuncheng, he told her about the elder son''s mental illness. Because of this incident, the couple''s originally leisurely travel and vacation routines were suspended. Gu Anguo is not young anymore, after seeing his eldest son back, he seems to be aging quickly¡ª¡ª In addition, he was ill for a while after that, and after he recovered, his body deteriorated day by day, and he was depressed. Even though Wei Qiushuang wanted to persuade her husband to look away, she didn''t know how to speak. After all, it was the husband''s own son who had the accident, not her son. July is extremely hot, and the air conditioner cannot be turned on at home overnight. But I am getting old, and I turn on the air conditioner every day, and I feel pain in my bones. On this day, the weather was not so hot, and it rained in the morning. After lunch, Gu Anguo opened the window to ventilate while taking a nap. But he didn''t expect that even if the weather wasn''t too hot, his age couldn''t stand it. When Wei Qiushuang discovered the abnormality, Gu Anguo was already in a coma due to heatstroke, and Wei Qiushuang immediately sent someone to the hospital! When Lan Shu and Xiao Bai received the news and rushed to the hospital, the doctor''s examination results just came out¡ª "The patient''s body has a high fever. Although the temperature has dropped, the internal organs of the body are failing to varying degrees. He needs to be treated in the hospital for a long time. The family members should be mentally prepared." Hearing this, Wei Qiushuang felt his limbs go limp. While Xiaobai looked serious, he had to accept such a result. Only Lan Shu heard it, she was slightly taken aback! What the doctor said about the high fever and organ failure made her immediately think of a condition¡ªheat stroke. Today''s hospitals and doctors have not listed heat stroke as an official condition, but collectively refer to it as heat stroke. Although it is true to say so, heat stroke is much more serious than heat stroke, and it is very likely to cause death! Lan Shu is not a doctor, and there is no cure, so I can only ask the doctor to pay more attention. She knows the danger of heat stroke, Lan Shu only hopes that her father-in-law can survive this condition¡ª The luck of the misfortune is that the Gu family has no shortage of treatment expenses for organ failure. The next step is to see the ability of the doctor and whether Gu Anguo can survive! ¡­ Half a month later, Gu Anguo still didn''t make it to the day when he recovered in the hospital. One month later, in Yuncheng Mental Hospital, Gu Cheng found that his food had not improved recently. Thinking of what his dad said before, as long as he is still alive, he will send money regularly to make his life better. Gu Cheng suddenly had a bad idea in his heart! Another three months later, Gu Cheng''s treatment in the mental hospital ended, and he was officially diagnosed and has fully recovered! Originally thought that he could finally regain his freedom and go out from here, but Gu Cheng soon ushered in his interrupted and unfinished prison life¡ª Before Gu Cheng entered the prison, he learned that his father had indeed passed away from a serious illness more than three months ago. The moment he heard the news, Gu Cheng felt a deep sadness in his heart, which made him burst into tears instantly! No matter what period of life he is in, no matter how much he complains or even hates his father, he cannot calmly accept the news of his father''s death! Under Gu Cheng''s two different lives, for the first time, he regretted that he didn''t do more filial piety by his father''s side. But no matter how sad he is, he will still have to suffer the consequences! If you make a mistake, you must pay for it! ¡­ On the other side, Gu Anguo''s death made Wei Qiushuang deeply saddened. On the day of the burial, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan, as in-laws, also came. The two witnessed Gu Anguo''s funeral, and Lan Weicheng had already thought of his future self. Although he is a few years younger than Gu Anguo in age, he is not young anymore. Lan Weicheng is sixty-six years old this year. It is quite a good thing that he can live to this age and be healthy. But he will eventually reach the day when he ''falls into a box''. After the Gu family finished the funeral, Lan Weicheng also worried about his own family affairs. After he discussed with his wife, the two wrote a will without telling anyone, and went to the notary office together to do justice. Their future property belongs to their daughters, and no one else has the right to be contaminated! The reason why Lan Weicheng wrote this will is to eliminate worries for his daughter. He still clearly remembers that his uncle''s dilapidated house in Kyoto was always missed by their adopted daughter Lan Xinya. Ming Ming¡¯s uncle¡¯s house is for Shu Shu, a granddaughter who has honored her uncle, but because their adopted daughter is the uncle¡¯s own granddaughter, there is a reason to fight for the property. Now, what they have done can ensure that the adopted daughter no longer has the qualifications to compete for the family property. Their property will only be left to the daughter who is really good to them¡ª Chapter 580: Cant keep up with the price increase Chapter 580 Earnings can¡¯t keep up with price increases Time is entering December, and the year seems to be coming to an end soon. Lan Xinya, who originally planned to buy a house, was short of a down payment of 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year. Seeing that by the end of the year, she could save enough money to reach 10,000, but the house price has risen again! One year of hard work was in vain, her progress of making money could not keep up with the speed of house price rise, so she still couldn¡¯t afford a house¡ª At this moment, Lan Xinya began to regret. Knowing this situation a long time ago, she wanted to ask her son for 10,000 yuan at the beginning! It''s a pity that the daughter-in-law is too powerful, she can''t handle it. In the past few months, Lan Xinya occasionally saw her daughter-in-law Zhou Lan. When the seasons change, Zhou Lan inevitably runs to her store, chatting with her about the household chores, and takes a few sets of clothes from her store when she leaves. Although the purchase price of Lan Xinya''s clothes is very cheap, they still cost money to buy them! She has always taken advantage of others, and this is the first time someone has taken advantage of herself! Every time Lan Xinya thinks of this, she becomes very angry¡ª But Zhou Lan didn''t care if she was angry or not, she just focused on her as a mother-in-law, so what''s wrong with giving her daughter-in-law a few sets of clothes? As a daughter-in-law, don¡¯t give clothes to relatives and friends, aunts and aunts in the mother-in-law¡¯s shop, the mother-in-law should have fun secretly~! Lan Xinya never imagined that there would be a day when she would be manipulated by others. If she didn''t want to get some benefits from her daughter-in-law in the future, and wanted her son to provide for her in the future, she would have turned against Zhou Lan, a daughter-in-law! It is precisely because of her plans that Lan Xinya has endured until now. But she couldn''t take it anymore. She wants to buy a house! If the daughter-in-law stops her son from giving money, then she will never let Zhou Lan take a cent from her shop again! ¡­ At the end of the month, Meng Dabao took a day off at the construction site, and Lan Xinya called her son into the store. At the moment, there is no one in the store, but Lan Xinya can still have a good talk with her son. "Dabao, do you still remember what your mother told you at the beginning of the year that you wanted to buy a house with 10,000 yuan?" When Lan Xinya mentioned this matter, Meng Dabao fell silent immediately. But Lan Xinya didn''t tactfully stop her plan because of her son''s silence. "Dabao, do you know that if you give Mom 10,000 yuan at the beginning of the year, Mom will have the down payment to buy a house!" "But now, Mom has worked hard to open the store for a year, and she has earned 10,000 yuan, but she is farther away from the down payment for buying a house!" "If you don''t help mom, mom won''t be able to buy a house in her life!" Lan Xinya still said the same words, but this time the tone was much better than the natural attitude when she asked for money at the beginning of the year. Meng Dabao is clear about the house price increase. His job is to work on the construction site, and the topics of chat among the workers in their free time are all around the house. The price of newly developed houses has indeed increased a lot, but fortunately, the second-hand old houses, especially the old houses from 10 or 20 years ago, have not increased much. Meng Dabao discussed with his wife, and they didn''t have enough money, so what they want to buy in the future is that kind of second-hand old house. This year, his daughter-in-law''s sales performance is good, the commission is quite high, and his salary has also increased a little, and the time for them to buy a house is getting closer. Moreover, the fact that the young couple was going to buy a house was known to the family not long ago. His father is also very supportive of his plan, saying that he can support them when they want to buy the house after they are optimistic about the house. Meng Dabao had planned to finalize the house years ago, and now is the time to spend money, so he definitely can''t give it to his own mother. So after Lan Xinya told her son that she had done a lot of ideological work, Meng Dabao didn''t want to let go. This made Lan Xinya unable to sit still! "Dabao! Are you still my son?!" "I gave birth to you, so you don''t know how to be filial at all?" "Always listen to my wife, you are a man, you have to be assertive!" Lan Xinya hated that iron can''t be made into steel. Listening to her words, Meng Dabao thought for a moment, and then replied, "Mom, we also want to buy a house, so I can''t lend you money." Although Meng Dabao is not smart, under the teaching of his wife, he is not stupid either. He knew that even if he took out the money, it was a loan, not a free gift. And now, he doesn''t even borrow it, and it''s even more impossible to give it for nothing! After Lan Xinya heard this, she was immediately disappointed in this son! "Dabao! I am your own mother. Since you are not facing me, then I will speak up!" "As a son, you should be filial to your parents. From now on, you will be paid every month, and you must give me part of it for my retirement!" She didn''t want to make things so rigid, but now Lan Xinya found that if she wanted to get money, she had to go online! When Meng Dabao heard what his own mother said, he was also helpless. It is indeed a matter of course to be a son''s filial mother. Meng Dabao bowed his head and thought for a while, then reluctantly agreed, "From then on, I will give you... five hundred yuan every month." His monthly salary is only about three thousand five thousand. When Lan Xinya heard that it was only five hundred, she immediately became dissatisfied! "How can five hundred dollars be enough?" This time, probably for the benefit of his family, Meng Dabao finally got a little smarter. "Mom, you and my dad are no longer together. If I give you money, it should be my dad''s share, and I have to support my family and children for my work wages, so the maximum is five hundred!" Seeing Meng Dabao''s insistence, Lan Xinya knew that even if she cared about it, it wouldn''t do much. She had no choice but to agree first. 500 a month, 6,000 yuan a year, plus the income from the store, she may still have a chance to buy a house next year. If it doesn¡¯t work, she won¡¯t buy a newly developed house! I heard that if you buy the old communities developed a few years ago, you can also buy them in installments. Lan Xinya made up her mind that in another year, she must have a house of her own! ¡­ A few days passed after Meng Dabao left his mother''s shop. Zhou Lan took a fancy to a two-story single-family house in an old house in the old city not far from the courtyard where their in-laws lived. This house is not big, and the yard is only more than 100 square meters, but there are two floors, a total of five rooms, which is enough for their small family to move in. Zhou Lan did the math. She and her man have saved all the wages they received because they ate and drank with their in-laws in the past few years. The total wages totaled more than 300,000 yuan. This small house is relatively cheap because it is relatively dilapidated and the location is remote, and it costs 420,000 yuan. Originally, it would take some time for them to buy a house, but the father-in-law is willing to support them. They only need another 70,000 to 80,000 yuan to buy the house. After seeing the house, Zhou Lan told her man about it. That night, Meng Heng gave his son and daughter-in-law 100,000 yuan. It is said that it is the rest of buying a house, and the house can be simply renovated. (end of this chapter) Chapter 581: bad relationship Chapter 581 Bad relationship The old house I just bought really needs some simple decoration, at least painting a white wall before I can live in it. The extra money given by the father-in-law will be able to solve their urgent needs by then. Zhou Lan was grateful for her father-in-law''s kindness to them. After taking the money, she told her man privately that they are now borrowing money from their elders, and when they save the money, they will definitely pay it back! ¡­ With money, the house was quickly bought and transferred. Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan finally had their own house. Because the house will be empty for a period of time after the walls are painted, so that the two of them still live in the in-laws'' house with their son during this period. The Chinese New Year is coming, and Meng Xiaoxiao, the youngest daughter of the Meng family, will also come back. Meng Xiaoxiao did not go home last year, but this year when they learned that she was coming back, the whole family was looking forward to it. But the fly in the ointment is that only Meng Heng''s father, Meng Xiang, is left as the second elder of the Meng family. Meng Heng''s mother, Liu Cui, passed away two years ago. Although Meng Heng''s father is still alive, his health is getting worse year by year. ¡­ Three or four days before the Chinese New Year, Meng Xiaoxiao returned to Kyoto from the southern city¡ª On this day, Meng Heng received the news ahead of time, so he asked for leave and went to the train station early to pick up his daughter. Meng Dabao only worked for half a day, so he told the foreman that something was wrong, then went home to take a shower, cleaned himself up, and waited for his sister to come back. Not long after Meng Dabao cleaned himself up here, he heard the door opening downstairs. He immediately went downstairs, and soon, he saw his father walking into the house with a girl¡ª Meng Xiaoxiao is eighteen years old this year, and she has become a big girl. She has been working outside the home since she graduated from junior high school, and it has been more than three years now. Meng Xiaoxiao weaves carpets in a carpet factory, and his wages are paid on a piece-by-piece basis. Except for the first year when she was born by hand, she received a little less money. In the next two years or so, her monthly salary was about the same as what Meng Dabao earned on the construction site. Meng Dabao hasn''t seen his younger sister for two years, and when he saw her wearing a red dress coat, a white rabbit fur scarf around her neck, and makeup on her face, he almost couldn''t recognize her for a while! Meng Xiaoxiao is only eighteen years old, but her current attire is a bit too mature. No one doubts that she is twenty-five or sixteen years old! Seeing her family members, Meng Xiaoxiao''s expression was calm, not at all happy to reunite with her relatives after a long absence. She just looked up and glanced upstairs, then she turned her eyes to her father Meng Heng, and asked lightly, "Is my room still there?" When Meng Heng heard his daughter ask this question, he immediately replied, "Of course!" Although the daughter is not at home for many years, her room has been kept. Usually, if there are any sundries at home that need to be piled up, they will not be put in the daughter''s room. Their daughter has always had a place in the family, no question about that. Hearing what her father said, Meng Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised. But she didn''t continue this topic, but was going upstairs with a bag of luggage that wasn''t too big. When Meng Dabao saw his sister''s actions, he immediately stepped forward to take the luggage from her hand, and helped her take the things upstairs. Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t refuse, but just silently watched her brother take the luggage into her room. Meng Heng looked at the strange relationship between his sons and daughters, which was different from what he thought at first. When Xiaoxiao was a child, she was very clingy to her elder brother. I don¡¯t know when, the siblings are no longer so close. Now, Xiaoxiao, who has been away from home for three years and returned from work, seems to be even more unfamiliar with Dabao, his brother? Meng Heng didn''t think too deeply about this matter. He felt that maybe it was because Xiaoxiao had been away from home for too long that he didn''t talk much to his brother and his father. After she adapts at home for a few days, she will gradually get closer to her family~! But Meng Heng didn''t expect that on the second day after his daughter Meng Xiaoxiao returned home, except for eating, she never left the room. On the third day, she put on her makeup and went out to meet her classmates. Before going out, she did not forget to say hello to her grandfather at home, saying that she would not come back for lunch. Meng Xiang saw his granddaughter''s dress, and smiled and asked her granddaughter to go out and have fun. Although Meng Xiang is old, his heart is not too old. He thinks that the girl went out to make money, so she should find someone to show off after she comes back~! On the fourth day, it was New Year''s Eve, and Meng Xiaoxiao sat down for the first time to eat with his family after returning home. At the dining table, Meng Xiang, Meng Heng, and Meng Dabao were sitting next to each other. Beside Meng Dabao are Zhou Lan and his five-year-old son Meng Tao. On the other side of Meng Tao, sitting is Meng Xiaoxiao''s mother, Sun Yuan. Sun Yuan works as a clerical worker. She is over 40 years old this year and has not retired yet. Recently, the end of the year is quite busy, so she didn''t have time to pick up her daughter a few days ago. She leaves early and returns late, and when she comes back, her daughter has gone back to her room to rest. Sun Yuan saw that the light in her daughter''s room was turned off, so she didn''t disturb her. So in the past few days, as a mother, it was actually the first time for her to sit and eat with her daughter. At this moment, Meng Xiaoxiao was sitting beside her mother. She watched her mother keep picking up vegetables for Meng Tao, the eldest grandson, at the dinner table, and only talking to herself in between, Meng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she lost her appetite in the face of this sumptuous New Year''s Eve dinner ! So Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t take a few mouthfuls before getting up and saying that he was going upstairs. Meng Xiaoxiao''s reaction in front of his family at this time, anyone can see that the situation is abnormal! This is obviously a problem with getting along with family members! But neither Meng Heng nor Sun Yuan knew what was going on with their daughter. Meng Xiang and Meng Dabao couldn''t tell. Only Zhou Lan, who was sitting next to Meng Dabao, could vaguely see what was going on. But she was also guessing, wondering if the brother-sister relationship between sister-in-law and her man was not good? Otherwise, it stands to reason that when my aunt sees her nephew, even if she doesn''t usually meet, she will always call out when she sees her now, and say a few words to her nephew, even if it''s a polite way. But in fact, since my sister-in-law came home, she hasn''t had any contact with her son. Even Taotao took the initiative to call his little aunt, but Xiaoxiao didn''t respond, and didn''t pay attention to Taotao at all. As if a child as old as Taotao doesn¡¯t exist at home¡ª What enmity can a big girl have with a child? All Zhou Lan could think of was that her man had a bad relationship with his sister, so the sister-in-law ignored her nephew. Although Zhou Lan was just guessing, she was actually right! And Sun Yuan''s side. My daughter''s abnormal reaction to her family made Sun Yuan, a mother, have to pay attention. "Smile, what the **** have you been throwing at these days?" Sun Yuan was a little upset. The New Year''s Eve threw her face in front of her elders, and her daughter was too ignorant! (end of this chapter) Chapter 582: only do ones duty Meng Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback when she heard her mother''s questioning. Are you losing your temper? She didn''t feel like she was losing her temper at all. "I''m just not hungry, I don''t have an appetite, and I don''t want to eat." Meng Xiaoxiao looked at his mother and said calmly. But it was because of her calm attitude that Sun Yuan was even angrier! Sun Yuan saw from her daughter''s eyes that she didn''t care about everyone in the family. As if she was her and had nothing to do with the family¡ª They are a family, how can they have such an attitude~! "Xiaoxiao, do you think this is your home?!" Sun Yuan looked at her daughter and asked. Meng Xiaoxiao burst out laughing with a ''puchi¡ª'', and then asked back. "Then when you gave birth to me, did you really want me as a child, or did you want me to take care of my stupid brother when I grow up?" Meng Xiaoxiao said, looking at Meng Dabao at the side. She took a deep breath, turned her head to look at her father Meng Heng, and said. "If my brother can''t marry a wife in this life, will he become my burden in the future?" This matter has always been a knot in Meng Xiaoxiao''s heart. This is the first time Meng Heng and Sun Yuan know that their daughter has such thoughts in their hearts! Meng Heng used to worry that his son''s intelligence was lower than normal, and he was worried that his son would have a hard time in the future. Sun Yuan also feels that with a daughter, the two brothers and sisters will have someone to rely on in the future. But the reason why they gave birth to their daughter has absolutely nothing to do with their son! Sun Yuan married the second-married Meng Heng because she liked Meng Heng''s appearance and character. She and Meng Heng have been married for several years but have not conceived a child. Of course Sun Yuan wants a child of her own, which is the crystallization of her love with her man. She finally conceived and gave birth to a daughter, full of joy. But she didn''t expect her daughter to think of her like this! Before the dining table, Meng Heng and Sun Yuan showed incredible expressions because of their daughter''s words. The aged Meng Xiang looked at his granddaughter and frowned. The young couple Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan became stunned. Meng Dabao heard that his sister felt that his brother was a drag. Zhou Lan suddenly realized that she finally understood the reason why she felt that her sister-in-law was not close to her after she married into the Meng family. Also knew that she had given birth to a son, and my sister-in-law never approached him. It was really because my sister-in-law complained about my brother. After a brief surprise, Sun Yuan looked at her daughter seriously. "Smile, Mom and Dad never asked you to bear the burden of your brother''s future!" Meng Heng on the side also explained, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, although your brother''s situation is different from ordinary people, but he is him, and you are you." "You are brothers and sisters, it is human nature to take care of each other in the future, even if you are unwilling, no one will force you." Meng Heng said this with confidence! He really didn''t want to put his son''s problems on his daughter. What''s more, now that their son is married to a daughter-in-law and has children, the son can work and earn money at a young age. With the ability of their daughter-in-law, the life of the young couple will only get better and better in the future. Maybe my daughter will have to ask her elder brother and sister-in-law for help if she encounters something in the future~! Meng Heng didn''t know why his daughter felt that they wanted a second child to take care of the first child. And even if Meng Xiaoxiao heard the answer given by her parents, she didn''t believe it. She went out to work at the age of sixteen. She was outside for three years and saw many things. She doesn''t trust anyone, she only believes that money is omnipotent. She actually didn''t want to come back for the Chinese New Year this year. It was because her parents said on the phone that they hadn''t seen her for a long time before that she softened her heart and agreed to go home for the New Year. But now it seems that she made the wrong decision. She should have been outside, far away from home! She doesn''t want to get involved with her family from the bottom of her heart, she''s alone outside and is free and unrestrained~ So Meng Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, looked at his parents and said, "No matter what you thought before, now that Meng Dabao has a wife and a son, I don''t have to worry about his future." Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t even call her brother, but just called Meng Dabao by his name. ¡°I am not happy living in this home, I will feel depressed, so I will work outside in the future, and I will not go home often.¡± "If you really treat me like a daughter, then don''t interfere with my freedom." She has already said that, can the rest of the Meng family stop it? Meng Heng and Sun Yuan were disappointed when they heard their daughter''s decision, but they couldn''t refute it. Meng Dabao on the side was also very sad, because he made his sister feel like a drag. Now my younger sister has a bad relationship with her family because of this reason, and she will leave home for a long time in the future¡ª Seeing that the family members were silent, Meng Xiaoxiao smiled softly again. "Let''s put it this way, I will buy a ticket to go back to the factory at the latest on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. In the future, you can pretend that you don''t have my daughter. If you think about it this way, you won''t feel that there are fewer people during the Chinese New Year." Meng Xiaoxiao really wanted to break away from her family. Because she used to watch her family members being harmonious and happy because of her elder brother¡¯s marriage and the birth of a little nephew. At that time, they couldn''t see themselves at all, as if they were outsiders. It was also from that time that Meng Xiaoxiao had the idea of ??leaving home. Now that she has grown up, she can finally choose her future life according to her own wishes. But Meng Xiaoxiao''s thoughts made Sun Yuan unable to accept and did not understand. The daughter she finally gave birth to was brought up little by little, but she raised a white-eyed wolf who wanted to fly outside with all her heart, and didn''t even want her parents and family? Sun Yuan was so blocked that she couldn''t breathe¡ª Seeing her daughter get up and walk upstairs after saying this, Sun Yuan felt even more aching... The next second, she heard her man''s angry voice from beside her, "Meng Xiaoxiao! You really decided to break away from the family in the future?" Although Meng Xiaoxiao didn''t say the word ''disengagement'', every word she said just now meant that. Now that Meng Heng mentions this matter, he is giving his daughter a chance at the end. If the daughter is really determined to break up with the family, then he will treat it as if he never gave birth to this child! Meng Xiaoxiao wanted to leave, so she wanted to tell her father clearly and express her thoughts. But before she could speak, Sun Yuan stopped her! "Smile, don''t you want your parents?" Sun Yuan''s voice was almost begging, she was trying to persuade her daughter to stay. But at her age, Meng Xiaoxiao couldn''t understand her parents'' intentions at all. Girls in the late rebellious stage are just self-centered. She shook her head and said to Sun Yuan, "Mom, I just want to be free now. Don''t worry, I will come back when you and Dad are older." "I will remember that I am your daughter. When you need to provide for the elderly in the future, I will take half of my responsibility." She doesn''t want family affection, but only fulfills her due responsibilities. This is the only thing she can do for the family. Chapter 583: there is room Chapter 583 There is still room Meng Xiaoxiao''s choice has her own reasons, and others can''t persuade her at all. This night, it was supposed to be the New Year''s Eve, but the whole Meng family was in a panic! Meng Heng was completely angry. If it wasn''t for Sun Yuan''s persuasion and Meng Dabao''s stop, Meng Xiaoxiao might have been kicked out of the house that night! Meng Dabao¡¯s son, Meng Xiaoyu, saw the adults arguing at home, and was so frightened that he burst into tears¡ª The New Year''s Eve dinner was almost halfway through, and everyone lost their appetite. I didn¡¯t watch the Spring Festival Gala, and went back to my room to sleep. Meng Xiaoxiao doesn''t think she''s doing anything wrong at all. She is an independent personality and shouldn''t be restricted by her family and affection. Originally, Meng Xiaoxiao planned to leave on the fifth day of junior high school, but under the current situation, she felt that if she could buy a ticket for the second and third year of junior high school, she should leave as soon as possible. The next day, on New Year''s Day, she had already gone to the ticket office of the train station to inquire about the train ticket situation. Because very few people leave home by train before the fifth day of junior high school, Meng Xiaoxiao successfully bought a ticket for the third day of junior high school. She plans to go home and pack up, and she can leave the day after tomorrow. ¡­ At this time, the Meng family was completely out of the mood for Chinese New Year, and was still worrying about what happened yesterday. During Chinese New Year, Sun Yuan cried several times. Meng Heng was also frowning. He had never smoked, so he asked his father Meng Xiang for half a pack of cigarettes, and started smoking one after another. Meng Dabao had a sad face. He wanted to keep his sister, but he didn''t know what he should do so that his sister could take care of the family more. Zhou Lan can understand Meng Xiaoxiao''s mood. At the beginning, Zhou Lan came to Kyoto from a remote village to make a living, because she wanted to leave home and get rid of home. But she and Meng Xiaoxiao''s situation is different. There are older brothers and younger brothers in her family, and her parents value sons over daughters. If she stays at home, she will be married off by her parents in exchange for a bride price sooner or later. When she arrived in a big city and made money, she promised her parents that she would give some to the family. After she started working, she did give money to her family. She was paid every month and only kept half of it for herself. After she got married, she used this reason to stop sending money home. Zhou Lan had no choice but to leave home. But Meng Xiaoxiao has parents who love her at home, and her family background is not bad, at least the family is not short of money. But she still felt that the family atmosphere was oppressive, and she wanted to leave. She even agreed to disconnect from her family without hesitation if she could. If Zhou Lan had such a family, she would never leave. Instead, she should manage the family relationship well. Meng Xiaoxiao felt a little bit unaware of his blessings. Zhou Lan felt sorry for her sister-in-law, but she also knew that her persuasion was useless. I just hope that in a few years my sister-in-law will be older and able to understand her parents'' wishes. At that time, my sister-in-law will only need to turn around and apologize to the family. I believe that the father-in-law and mother-in-law will definitely forgive their daughter. ¡­ On the second day of the new year, after a day of calmness, the mood of the Meng family has eased a lot compared to the day of the new year. Knowing that Meng Xiaoxiao will leave Kyoto by train tomorrow, Sun Yuan persuaded her daughter again. It''s a pity that Meng Xiaoxiao has made up his mind. Meng Xiaoxiao just said to her mother, "Mom, forget it next year, and I will definitely come home to see you again the year after next." On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Meng Xiaoxiao took her luggage to the train station. Although Meng¡¯s parents were very angry because of what their daughter said, when it came time for their daughter to leave, both Meng Heng and Sun Yuan were reluctant to part with their daughter. Finally, Meng Heng, a father, couldn''t save face, so he asked his wife to take his daughter to the train station. Meng Dabao originally wanted to see his sister off, but Zhou Lan grabbed him before he left the house. Zhou Lan felt that her man shouldn''t go to her sister-in-law at this time. Because in the final analysis, this matter is because the sister-in-law has a knot in her brother''s heart! Even if one day the sister-in-law can resolve the relationship with her parents in her heart, it is unlikely that she will let go of her brother. The appearance of her man now will only add to the chaos. A brother¡¯s concern for his sister can also be reflected in other ways. Zhou Lan made the decision. On the day Meng Xiaoxiao left, she stuffed 500 yuan into Meng Xiaoxiao''s sister-in-law. The reason why she gave the money was not because of the red envelopes for the Chinese New Year, but because the sister-in-law was not at home on her 18th birthday, and she gave her a make-up 18th birthday present. Hearing his sister-in-law''s reason, Meng Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before accepting the money. Not long after my sister-in-law left, Zhou Lan heard from her son that before her aunt left, she secretly gave him two hundred yuan as a lucky money. Although Zhou Lan gave out 500 and only got 200 back, it was not a matter of money. My sister-in-law''s behavior shows that she hasn''t completely broken off from her family in her heart. There is still room for relaxation in the relationship in the future... ¡­ A few days after Meng Xiaoxiao left, the annual leave ended and the workers began to go to work one after another. This year is 2008. With the rapid economic development every year, many families in cities have already achieved poverty alleviation and prosperity. This year, house prices have increased a bit compared to last year. In Kyoto, people''s wages have increased accordingly. Chang''an Avenue, Gu''s family. School will start soon, and this year is the last semester of Gu Zerui University. Four years into college, Gu Zerui skipped a grade again! Seeing that the day when he chases his dream is getting closer and closer, during the winter vacation, Gu Zerui has already made a decision. When this semester is over and he graduates from university, he will immediately join the ''Peak'' game studio established by his father and become a professional gamer! Speaking of professional players, Gu Zerui did not expect that Jiang Wei, a senior student in the mathematics department who started playing games after meeting him, would become a professional game player before him! Although Jiang Wei hasn''t played the game for a long time, her operation is really very good. In Jiang Wei''s words, she plays games entirely by data calculations. As long as you understand each character''s attacking moves, defense breaking, and moving positions, and find a set of operation methods corresponding to the enemy, you will basically win without a doubt! This way of playing games is not suitable for everyone, but it makes Jiang Wei play very smoothly~! Jiang Wei joined the game studio and became a professional game player, not because of Gu Zerui. She didn''t deny that she had a crush on Gu Zerui, but after she found out about Gu Zerui''s age and identity, she forced herself to give up! Jiang Wei never thought that she would focus on games after graduation. She thinks the game is really fun, but most importantly, she really can''t refuse the professional player treatment offered by the studio! During the winter vacation, Jiang Wei participated in a nationwide game competition as a professional player, which made her famous and famous in the game circle. The glory achieved in the last battle made Jiang Wei affirm that her choice was not wrong! She loves playing games and the sense of accomplishment she gets from playing games! and¡­ Gu Zerui will soon become her teammate. (end of this chapter) Chapter 584: something happened to my sister Chapter 584 My sister has an accident More than two months later, at the end of April, the temperature has not yet warmed up, and the peach blossoms in the suburbs have already bloomed. Today, Gu Qingning took his son Xiao Qin for an outing. Together with them were Lan Juncheng, Qiao Qian and their daughter Lan Lisi, Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan, and their son Meng Xiaoyu. Lan Jun¡¯s married daughter has just turned one year old. Not long ago, the young couple returned to China to visit their parents. Secondly, it was their daughter¡¯s first birthday. They brought the child back to celebrate her birthday. After celebrating their daughter''s birthday, the two did not leave in a hurry, but temporarily stayed in the country for a while. It just happened to be the season suitable for traveling, so Lan Juncheng called his cousin and Meng Dabao, and the three of them took their families and children out to play. Meng Dabao is usually busy on the construction site, and rarely communicates with his friends. This time, in order to go out to play, Meng Dabao specially asked for leave. Except for Qin Tianyi''s absence today, the other two families are all here. Four-year-old Xiao Qin and six-year-old Meng Xiaoyu soon got together. Children like children the most, so they saw their one-year-old little sister, Lan Lisi, picking flowers and playing with her sister, and they got along very well. After playing all morning, the children were a little tired, the one-year-old Lan Lisi had already fallen asleep, and Lan Juncheng and Meng Xiaoyu were not as energetic as before. The three families planned to eat something in a small restaurant in a nearby village before driving home. When I came out to play this time, Lan Juncheng and Gu Qingning both drove, while Meng Dabao''s family sat in Gu Qingning''s car. Gu Qingning had already passed the driver''s license test when he was in college, and now he is considered an experienced driver, even driving on small roads in mountain villages is no problem. Driving all the way, the three adults in the car were still chatting. Gradually, Xiao Qin and Meng Xiaoyu got tired of playing and fell asleep in the back seat of the car. Seeing this scene, Lan Shu stopped talking to Zhou Lan and Meng Dabao, so as not to disturb the children''s sleep. After more than 20 minutes, the car drove into the entrance of a nearby village and was about to arrive at the farmhouse for dinner. At this moment, Meng Dabao''s cell phone rang¡ª Hearing the ringtone of the phone, Gu Qingning glanced at the back seat unexpectedly. Nowadays, mobile phones have become popular and the era of smart phones has entered, but her childhood friend, Meng Dabao, still uses a blue-screen mobile phone, commonly known as an ''elderly phone''. Actually, with Meng Dabao''s family conditions, it is absolutely impossible to still use such an outdated mobile phone. But Meng Dabao always felt that he didn''t need to change his smartphone, because he really didn''t use his mobile phone very often. For him, the mobile phone is just a convenient tool for communication. When the phone rang the second time, Meng Dabao quickly connected the phone. The call was made by his father, Meng Heng. Because the voice from the blue-screen phone was relatively loud, everyone in the car could hear the call. On the other side of the phone, Meng Heng saw his son answer the phone, and immediately said to his son in a hurry, "Dabao! Something happened to your sister in the south!" Meng Heng said that his daughter Meng Xiaoxiao was working in a carpet factory in the south. Someone just called and said that Meng Xiaoxiao was working in the morning and suddenly fainted! The factory immediately sent someone to send Meng Xiaoxiao to the hospital. The result of the examination was that Meng Xiaoxiao had sepsis! Because Meng Xiaoxiao is now in the intensive care unit and needs a lot of money every day, the factory contacted the family members and asked the family members to take over Meng Xiaoxiao''s condition. Now, the Meng family must have someone go to the south to take care of Meng Xiaoxiao. After Meng Xiaoxiao''s condition stabilized, he probably wouldn''t be able to work in the factory anymore. After Meng Heng got the news, he immediately asked for leave from the company, bought a ticket to the south, and then called his son to inform him. At home, his daughter-in-law has to take care of her father, so she can''t leave, otherwise she will go to see her daughter with him. When Meng Dabao heard the news that his sister was sick and hospitalized, his first reaction was to ask for leave and go to the south with his father¡ª Meng Heng understood his son''s feelings. When his daughter was young, Dabao, who was an older brother, was very kind to his younger sister. He knew that Dabao loved his sister, and wanted to see her and take her home. But at this time, it doesn''t matter how many people go to the daughter''s illness, as long as he is there. Dabao should stay at home and wait for him to bring Xiaoxiao back. After Meng Heng and his son finished talking about the situation, they were about to end the call. He still needs to pack a few changes of clothes and catch the train at night. Before the phone was hung up, Zhou Lan suddenly spoke on Meng Dabao''s side, and said into the phone. "Dad, what time did you buy the train at night? Which one? Later, Dabao and I will go to the train station to buy tickets. I can ask for leave here. Xiaoxiao is a girl after all. I will go with her and take care of her." It''s more convenient." As the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Zhou Lan should do her best when something happened to the Meng family. Actually, even if she didn''t go, no one would say anything about her, but this time, just as she said, she went to take better care of my sister-in-law. So even if it is for her man, in order to make her man feel at ease, she has to go for her man! Hearing Zhou Lan''s words, Meng Heng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay." Meng Dabao heard his wife said that he would help him take care of his younger sister, and he was very grateful to her! Zhou Lan didn''t care about this, she, Gu Qingning, helped her and drove her to the train station to buy a ticket. On this day, the outing of Meng Dabao and his friends, because of this phone call, can only end here! That night, Zhou Lan set off with her father-in-law and got on the train to the south. At noon the next day, Meng Heng and Zhou Lan arrived in the city where Meng Xiaoxiao worked, and contacted the people in Meng Xiaoxiao''s factory, and also saw Meng Xiaoxiao lying in the hospital¡ª ¡­ At the same time, in Dongcheng First People''s Hospital. Actually, after Meng Xiaoxiao woke up from a coma yesterday morning, after a series of examinations by doctors, she already knew the news that she was ill. Sepsis, with today''s medical level, is difficult to cure. If you want to treat this disease, in addition to spending a lot of money, the treatment time will also be very long. Her condition is more serious, not the early stage of sepsis. Meng Xiaoxiao has been feeling unwell recently. Dizziness and rapid heartbeat are common occurrences, and I also had a fever twice, which I forcibly subsided after taking some antipyretics. She thought that she was tired from work, and she would be fine after taking a rest. But she didn''t expect that when the condition was discovered, she was already suffering from severe sepsis! Meng Xiaoxiao was about to collapse when she found out about her illness! From noon yesterday to today, she couldn''t eat any food and only drank a few sips of water. When she was sick, Meng Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the importance of health. Living in the hospital, seeing other patients in the ward surrounded by family members and taking care of them, Meng Xiaoxiao suddenly realized how important family members are! (end of this chapter) Chapter 585: She was wrong! It''s a pity that her family was unilaterally abandoned by her during the Chinese New Year a few months ago. Meng Xiaoxiao thought back to when she firmly told her relatives at home that she wanted to be free! Telling parents that they can treat her as a daughter without her... Meng Xiaoxiao felt regretful¡ª Now she lives alone in the hospital and feels helpless. Although she has saved some money working in the carpet factory in the past few years, the expenses of hospitalization and medical treatment are like running water. She doesn''t know how long the money in her hands can support her in the hospital. All kinds of pessimistic thoughts made Meng Xiaoxiao feel that he had this disease and might not last long. She struggled in her heart, wondering if she should contact her family at the end of her life and tell them the news that she may not be dying soon? She was worried that her family would find out about it, because of her previous attitude towards her family, she ignored her. If that''s the case, she will only feel more uncomfortable before she dies! Meng Xiaoxiao''s heart was tormented for a whole day. At noon, it was past meal time. She was very hungry, but she was not in the mood to eat. She was thinking that she might just starve to death like this. Not long after, the door of the ward opened, and Meng Xiaoxiao heard a familiar voice calling out her name¡ª "Smile!" She turned her head in disbelief and looked towards the door of the ward, only to see her father standing there. At this moment, Meng Xiaoxiao''s eyes became hot, and tears poured out uncontrollably¡ª Did Dad come to see me because he knew he was sick? It''s the first time she has seriously visited her father in recent years, and his father has gray hair... Dad''s complexion was not very good, and a layer of blue-black stubble grew on his chin. Did you not even shave your beard because you were worried about yourself? Meng Xiaoxiao was full of thoughts at this moment. When her father walked into the ward, she saw her sister-in-law Zhou Lan following her father! Why is Zhou Lan here? What is she here for? I''m sick, could she just come to see me making jokes? Meng Xiaoxiao was full of suspicion. But in the next second, she heard her father say, "Smile, your sister-in-law is worried about you, saying that you are a girl, and it is more convenient for her to take care of you." This sentence is like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, making Meng Xiaoxiao''s heart splash and ripple. Thinking of his guess a minute ago, Meng Xiaoxiao immediately blamed himself. At this moment, she realized that her heart was actually so dark! Others are kind to her, but she is maliciously speculated by herself, Meng Xiaoxiao just wants to slap herself hard! The tears on her face finally stopped after her father frantically wiped them away. The sister-in-law next to her asked her concerned, "Smile, have you eaten yet?" Her stomach''s "cuck~" sounded at the right time. Then Zhou Lan turned around and went out for a while, and brought Meng Xiaoxiao a bowl of millet porridge when she came back. "Smile, it''s a little late now, there isn''t much food in the hospital cafeteria, you can drink some porridge first, and my sister-in-law will go outside to buy food for you later." Zhou Lan is the younger sister who sincerely wants to take care of her man. She hoped that her sister-in-law would get better soon, so that her man could worry less. Just like that, with her father and sister-in-law around, Meng Xiaoxiao finally felt at ease in the hospital. Before the hospitalization fee was paid in advance by the carpet factory, and the two thousand yuan in advance has been spent. Meng Heng came here this time and knew that his daughter was sick, so he brought money. After asking the doctor how much money the daughter''s illness would cost to treat, Meng Heng first handed over all the 10,000 yuan in cash he had with him to the inpatient department. Then I went to a bank near the hospital to check the deposit on my salary card. The money should be enough for my daughter to spend in the hospital for the time being. As for follow-up treatment, let¡¯s wait and see~! ¡­ A week later, Meng Xiaoxiao''s condition was stable and her physical condition was slowly recovering. The frequency of her dizziness has begun to decrease in the past few days, and her limbs feel more powerful. In the second week, Meng Xiaoxiao was able to eat and sleep in the hospital. With the care of her father and sister-in-law, she felt that her body would recover soon. After the third week, Meng Xiaoxiao''s condition got better, and the doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital next week. It''s just that her condition is not easy to recover completely. Although her life is saved, she is no longer suitable for heavy work and is not easy to work hard. After staying in the hospital for a whole month, before Meng Xiaoxiao was discharged from the hospital, she heard the doctor''s instructions to her father¡ª "The patient needs to rest more after returning home, and usually takes medicine on time, and the medicine cannot be stopped." "She shouldn''t be married yet at this age, right? Her current body is not suitable for having children, so marriage must be cautious." Meng Xiaoxiao realized at this time that if her illness is not good, I am afraid that she will be single for the rest of her life. After all, no man would be willing to marry a daughter-in-law who does not have children. Although she hasn''t considered falling in love or getting married yet, it doesn''t mean she doesn''t want to start a family and have children in the future. Her illness is pretty much cutting her off from the next phase of her life! This made her very sad, but there was nothing she could do... Before Meng Xiaoxiao left the southern city where she had worked for three years, she went to a carpet factory with her father and sister-in-law. Zhou Lan helped her pack the things in the staff dormitory, while Meng Heng went to negotiate with the leader of the carpet factory. How could he think his daughter had sepsis for no reason? Regarding this matter, Meng Heng consulted a doctor. According to what the doctor said, there are various reasons for the sepsis. Meng Heng thinks that maybe it is because of the smell on the carpet fabric in the workshop of the carpet factory, which made her daughter sick. Because this reason cannot be ruled out, the carpet factory also lost some money, and this incident happened. But even if the carpet factory lost money, the money was not enough for Meng Xiaoxiao''s medical expenses in the hospital for the past month. Just a little bit is better than nothing. ¡­ By the time Meng Xiaoxiao returned to Kyoto, it was already the beginning of June. Zhou Lan took a whole month''s leave. Even though she is in sales, the counter where she works cannot always leave this job vacant for her. So after returning, Zhou Lan just went to work to collect her previous wages, and then became unemployed. Fortunately, Zhou Lan is young and capable, so it is easier for her to find a job. This job is gone, she will find another sales job at worst! ¡­ Meng Xiaoxiao, who has been recuperating since she came back, heard about her sister-in-law losing her job. Meng Xiaoxiao felt very guilty towards her sister-in-law. She thought of how she wanted to leave home because her brother was stupid and worried that he would become a burden to her in the future¡ª I am really too selfish! But after the sister-in-law knew what she was thinking, she was able to go all the way to the south to take care of herself regardless of the past. I lost my job after I came back, and I didn¡¯t complain a word. Meng Xiaoxiao was grateful to his sister-in-law. She was wrong! She will never dislike her brother, nor alienate her nephew. When she gets better and can go out to work, and she makes money, she must thank her sister-in-law! Chapter 586: Various Chapter 586 Various families Meng Xiaoxiao stayed in the hospital for a month, and then lived at home for another month, taking a lot of medicine every day. In mid-July, she felt that her body was completely fine. Although the medicine still needs to be taken, her illness has not affected her normal life. At this time, Meng Xiaoxiao wanted to go out and find a job. She won¡¯t travel too far this time, so she¡¯s looking for it locally in Kyoto. In this way, she can go home after work every night. As long as she has enough rest, her illness will not relapse easily. After Meng Xiaoxiao told her family about her plan, she was persuaded by Meng Heng. That night, Meng Heng, Sun Yuan, and Meng Xiaoxiao''s grandfather, Meng Xiang, sat at the dining table to eat. Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan took their son and moved to the house they bought themselves last month. I will bring the children back on weekends. Before the dinner table, Meng Heng said to his daughter. "Smile, you''d better rest at home for a while. Don''t worry about making money. Taking care of your body is the key." Meng Xiaoxiao knew that her father was doing it for her own good. But she doesn''t want to stay at home all day and ''eat rice''! Back when she was hospitalized and spent more than 30,000 yuan on medical treatment, it was all out of her father''s money. The money she saved was useless. She has worked in a carpet factory for several years. Although she has some savings, it is not much, just a little over 10,000. Even if the carpet factory later paid some compensation for her illness, it only paid 8,000 yuan. It can be said that without the money from her father, she would not have been able to stay in the hospital for so long and control her illness. Now she wants to make money, at least she can make up for the money her father gave her to see a doctor! Meng Xiaoxiao never thought of relying on her family, so she didn''t allow herself to spend so much money from her family. Hearing what his father said, Meng Xiaoxiao knew what was going on. She understood that her father was worried about her physical condition. She was very moved, but she couldn''t just "grow old" at home with peace of mind. Meng Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and made a little compromise in her heart. "Then I will rest at home for one more month. After one month, I must go out to work. Even if I find a job that is close to home and easy to work, it doesn''t matter if the salary is lower." Seeing his daughter being so determined, Meng Heng nodded after thinking about it. He will help his daughter keep an eye on light work. As my daughter said, I don¡¯t need a high salary, as long as I have a job to do when I go out, and I don¡¯t want to be idle at home. ¡­ On the same day, in a small private house with a courtyard not far from the compound where Lao Meng¡¯s house was located, Zhou Lan cooked a meal and sat at the dining table with her husband and son to eat. The three of them moved out from their parents-in-law¡¯s house. Although they will have to pay for food and drink by themselves in the future, they have their own house and the feeling of living in their own house is different. Zhou Lan found another job not long ago. She used to sell clothes, but now she sells cosmetics. Her salary plus her man''s, can make nearly 6,000 a month. If things go on like this, they will save money other than daily expenses in the future, and they may be able to change to a better house in a few years! Zhou Lan feels that their little days are getting more and more exciting~! She likes this kind of life that can see the future getting better and better! ¡­ On the other side, near Huamei Shopping Mall, in Lan Xinya''s rented room. After Lan Xinya finished her work today, she closed the shop and went home, counting the money she earned in the shop as usual. Business is good today. After deducting the cost of clothes, the profit is more than 100 yuan! It''s also because summer is here, it''s hot, and it''s the season for girls to wear skirts. There are many beautiful styles of skirts, so it is easier for her to sell some. Lan Xinya did the math, the money she saved from doing business over the years, plus the monthly pension of 500 that she asked her son for this past year, she has a total of 130,000 in her hands! The money is almost enough for the down payment of a small house. Lan Xinya originally set her sights on a big house with two bedrooms and one living room, which was 100 square meters. But she doesn''t have much money. In addition, in the past few years, many new real estate developments in Kyoto have launched small houses with one bedroom and one living room and a size of about 50 square meters. She knows that many people buy small houses, and she gradually accepts that her funds are limited. , the fact that you can''t afford a big house. Lan Xinya made up her mind that at the end of this month, her shop will be closed for a few days, and she will go to see various properties in Kyoto. Try to settle the house as soon as possible, hurry up and decorate it, and you will be able to live in the new house years ago! Lan Xinya planned well, just waiting to buy the house. But she didn''t know that this year''s house price changed every month! A month ago she might be able to afford a house, but a month later, she might not be able to afford it... ¡­ The next day, Kyoto, Chang''an Avenue, Gu''s family. On the weekend, Lan Shu didn''t plan to go out today, so she slept in the bedroom for a while in the morning. Xiao Bai went downstairs after getting up, had a simple breakfast, and then drove to his daughter''s house to pick up his grandson. Four-year-old Xiao Qin has already started kindergarten. He usually spends more time at his grandparents¡¯ house on weekends, but he also visits his grandparents¡¯ house every month to play. It was the grandson''s turn to come to the house this week, but Xiao Bai remembered it very clearly. After picking up his grandson, Xiaobai went to his parents'' house again, picked them up together, and had lunch together. Wei Qiushuang and Gu Anguo are getting older now, and they like children very much, so as long as they are not traveling, Xiaobai will pick up his parents to watch Xiaoqin together. Although Xiao Qin didn''t see his great-grandfather and great-grandmother very often since he was a child, the love of his elders made Xiao Qin clearly remember that these two old people, who were older than his grandfather and grandmother, would treat him very well. Xiaobai returned home after gathering all the people. Lan Shu was having breakfast with her son Gu Zerui in the dining room. Xiao Qin has already eaten breakfast, but the child is hungry very fast, and his mouth is also greedy. Now seeing his favorite food on the dining table, he consciously climbed into the chair and sat down, waiting for his grandmother and uncle to bring him his favorite snack. Xiao Bai looked at the relationship between his wife, son and grandson at the dining table. The three of them don''t seem to need too much language, they can understand each other''s thoughts naturally. This kind of tacit understanding made him surprised at the beginning, but later got used to it. Such a family atmosphere makes him feel warm and comfortable. In the end, Xiao Qin ate three pieces of pastries, and the breakfast time at home was completely over. Next, the relationship and companionship between the old man and the child will slowly unfold... ¡­ On the other side, Lan Dazhuang''s house is not far from Gu''s house on Chang''an Street. Lan Sibo came to pick up his wife Chang Chunfang to live at home. Before, the three brothers of the Lan family agreed that they would take turns to support the elderly. Lan Sibo still remembered the last time he went to pick up his mother from his eldest brother''s house, he said many good things before he was forgiven by his mother. (end of this chapter) Chapter 587: Making a fuss? As for forgiveness, Lan Sibo didn''t think he or his wife was at fault at the time. The three agreed rotations, but his mother refused to leave his house. At that time, his wife wanted to correct the bad habits of the child, and his mother made various obstacles at home. In the end, it is understandable for the daughter-in-law to be angry. Fortunately, the three brothers gradually mastered the knack of getting along with the elderly. That is, they cannot follow their own ideas to ask where their mother lives. Instead, in a moderate way, I hope their mother will go to live at home for a while. So obedient, the old lady feels comfortable, so she no longer rejects the thing of changing places every few months. When he came to pick up someone this time, Lan Sibo also asked someone to move the place on the grounds that he missed his mother and hoped his mother could stay at home for a while. It was a hot day, and Chang Chunfang was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, blowing on the air conditioner and shaking a fan at the same time. She looked up at her youngest son, and said in a voice that was not clear, "I live here very well." When Lan Sibo heard this, he felt ''thump! ''all of a sudden. Then a sentence popped out in my heart, ''Here we go again! '' He knew that it was not an easy task to bring his mother home. Lan Sibo immediately gave his persuasion words that he had thought up before coming. It¡¯s nothing more than the fact that the granddaughter misses her grandma, and his wife also said that she would take her mother-in-law to live. Hearing the words that satisfied her, even though Chang Chunfang knew that these were all said by her younger son to coax her, she still had a smile on her face unconsciously. "Okay then, I''ll live with you for a while." Lan Sibo finally heaved a sigh of relief when his mother agreed¡ª Afterwards, he immediately helped his mother pack things, and took his mother home before he had time to eat lunch. Yu Xia already knew that her mother-in-law would come today. Although she didn''t like her mother-in-law interfering in her child''s education, she also understood that the responsibility of supporting the elderly must be fulfilled. So after her mother-in-law came home, Yu Xia, the daughter-in-law, respected her elders very much. I have already laid a clean bed for my mother-in-law and tidied up a separate room so that my mother-in-law can live in peace of mind. The one who lives in Lan Sibo''s house with Chang Chunfang, and the nanny who has been taking care of Chang Chunfang for the past two years. The salary of the nanny is the responsibility of the three brothers. Although the three brothers of the Lan family are not short of money, it is better to be fair in spending money for the elderly. Under fairness, no matter what happens in the future, there will be no problems because of this incident. ¡­ After Chang Chunfang moved into her youngest son''s house, her life was more comfortable than at her eldest son''s. After all, the youngest son has a granddaughter at home, and the little milk doll will not dislike her getting old and having physical problems. Children are innocent, knowing that they are grandma, she will be very close to them. After Chang Chunfang lived with her third son for a month, her daughter-in-law Yu Xia discovered that her one-year-old daughter and grandma were very close~! Sometimes even closer than the relationship with her mother! Chang Chunfang said in front of the nanny, "Look, this is the family affection that blood is thicker than water~! The little girl knows that I am her grandmother, so she gets close to me." Yu Xia listened to her mother-in-law''s words, and at first she also thought that there might be this reason. But even because of blood relatives, it is impossible for grandma to kiss mother, right? After all, Yu Xia took care of her daughter and grew up, and she spends more time with herself, no matter how you look at it, she should be closer to herself¡ª Yu Xia does not deny that because she is not the closest person in her daughter''s heart, she finds it a little tasteless. But she was more puzzled. So she put more energy on her daughter and carefully observed her daughter''s recent situation. A few days later, Yu Xia found that when she made children''s meals for her daughter on weekdays, when she went to the vegetable market to buy the freshest ingredients, and when the babysitter hired by the family took her daughter to play in the yard, her mother-in-law Will be with her daughter. It would be fine if it was a simple relationship, but her mother-in-law took out all kinds of candies out of nowhere and gave them to her daughter! With the temptation of candy, children will of course get closer to the grandma who gives them the candy! When Yu Xia discovered these things, several of her daughter''s deciduous teeth had turned black and had cavities! Children are just ignorant and don''t care about these at all. Her mother-in-law also thinks this is no big deal, anyway, the child will always change his teeth when he grows up. Seeing her mother-in-law''s indifferent attitude, Yu Xia suppressed the anger in her heart, and patiently said to her mother-in-law. "Children don''t start to lose their teeth until they are about six years old, and they start to change their teeth from the front teeth. When they change to the back teeth, they will be eleven or twelve years old." "Xiao Yanran is only over one year old this year, and her tooth decay will not last until then!" "She is too young now to cooperate with the doctor, and there is no way to fill the decayed teeth! By the time she is older and sensible, the tooth decay will have become more serious!" "If she suffers from a toothache halfway through the tooth replacement, the child will suffer a lot during the entire process of tooth decay treatment~!" "And for such a small child, eating too much sugar is not good for her intellectual development, so Mom, don''t give her sugar behind my back." When Yu Xia said these words, she had already restrained her emotions. But these words fell into Chang Chunfang''s ears, that is, the daughter-in-law preached to her without respect for her elders! Chang Chunfang has long been used to being coaxed by her sons this year, and now that her daughter-in-law complains about her, she just feels aggrieved¡ª So that night, after Lan Sibo came home, Chang Chunfang called her son to him and talked about what happened today. "What''s wrong with the kid eating some candy? For this matter, it''s worth making a fuss about me?" "Children like to eat sweets. When you brothers and sisters were young, even if our family''s conditions were not very good, your dad and I would go to the market every once in a while to buy you some sweets~!" "You guys were quite happy eating at that time, it''s not as serious as what your wife said! You drilled and filled your teeth, you just made your child suffer!" It was only at this time that Lan Sibo realized that his precious daughter''s teeth were already decayed! ? My daughter is only over one year old, less than two years old! He immediately ran to his daughter and checked her teeth. Seeing my daughter''s lovely baby teeth, several of them turned black. This made Lan Sibo feel distressed and angry! Even though many children will have tooth decay in the future, none of them will be decayed like this after one year old! Regarding the matter of children eating candy, Lan Sibo can''t indulge his mother. So he clearly said to his mother, "Mom, you should stop giving candy to Xiao Yanran." The son didn''t take his side when things happened, but helped his daughter-in-law to talk about himself. Where has Chang Chunfang been so angry this year? "Third, what do you mean?! I am good to the child, let the child kiss me, is it not enough?!" Chapter 588: irreparable The reason why Chang Chunfang let her little granddaughter get close to her was because of all kinds of candies. She specially asked the nanny who took care of her to buy the candy in the supermarket, and the candy she bought was relatively good. The nanny buys milk candies, fruit candies, crisp candies, and even imported candies for her. Because of these candies, Chang Chunfang is very close to her little granddaughter. The little granddaughter likes to hang around her when she has nothing to do, and she is also very happy. But now, the son tells himself to stop giving candy to his little granddaughter! Chang Chunfang still believes that it is natural for children to love sweets, and such a young child should be pampered instead of restraining a one-year-old child. Don''t allow this, don''t allow that! Now that she disagrees with her son and daughter-in-law, she is doing it for her little granddaughter! Because of the child eating candy, Chang Chunfang and Lan Sibo couldn''t reach a consensus. The two sides have quarreled several times in the past few days. It was all because Yu Xia watched the child closely, and when she saw grandma giving candy, she took the candy away from her daughter. Even if it was a piece of candy that got into her daughter''s mouth, she wanted her daughter to spit it out! How can a child spit out something that is in his mouth? So Xiao Yanran cried heartbreakingly every time in order to eat candy and keep the candy in her mouth. When Chang Chunfang saw her granddaughter being ''bullied'' by her daughter-in-law, she immediately stepped forward to protect her little granddaughter. After going back and forth, Xiao Yanran became closer to her grandma, but she became farther away from her mother. Even afraid of mother, avoiding mother! In order to discipline her daughter, Yu Xia became a bad person in her daughter''s heart. Every day when Lan Sibo comes back from get off work, he can see his wife hiding in the room crying. Lan Sibo felt distressed, but his persuasion had no effect at all¡ª When Chang Chunfang lived in Lan Sibo''s house for more than two months, the house was full of turmoil and quarrels all day long. So much so that Yu Xia thought about when her mother-in-law would leave her house every day! ? But it will be at least a month before Chang Chunfang moves. ¡­ In mid-September, the weather is getting cooler. This afternoon, when Xiao Yanran was taking a nap upstairs, Yu Xia asked Hao''s family nanny to watch over the child. Then she went downstairs by herself, estimated the time, and went to the kitchen to make a children''s meal for her daughter when the child woke up. Yu Xia loves her daughter very much and takes care of her very meticulously. Children over one year old do not eat with adults, but meals are specially suitable for children of this age group, easy to digest, nutritious, and good for the body. She cooked some pumpkin and millet porridge in a casserole, picked some green vegetable leaves and chopped them, added a spoonful of rice flour, an egg, and a little salt, stirred them and baked them into thin pancakes in a pan. Afterwards, a few prawns were cooked. After the prawns were cooked, they were peeled off and their threads removed. The clean prawn tails were also fried in a pan for a while, then turned off the heat and kept in the pot to keep warm. Yu Xia glanced at the time, and in seven or eight minutes, her daughter should wake up to eat this afternoon extra meal. While there was still time, she picked another orange and prepared to squeeze a glass of orange juice. Daughter drink some fruit juice after eating and supplement vitamin C. As soon as she cut up the oranges and put them into the juicer, she heard her mother-in-law Chang Chunfang''s terrified scream from upstairs¡ª "Come on, someone! Help~!" Even if her mother-in-law''s voice is not pronounced clearly, Yu Xia can still hear her mother-in-law''s words. Yu Xia was startled. Why is her mother-in-law upstairs? The next second, she put down what she was holding and rushed upstairs immediately! Intuition told Yu Xia that her daughter might have had an accident! The distance between upstairs and downstairs is not far, plus Yu Xia was worried, she ran very fast! In less than a minute, she had already gone upstairs. I saw the childcare nanny at home was holding her daughter, and she came out of the bedroom with a face of panic. Seeing her, the nanny immediately said, "The child is stuck in his throat from eating sugar!" At this moment, Yu Xia''s eyes had already landed on her daughter, her little daughter opened her mouth with difficulty, her expression was painful, struggling as if she wanted to cry but couldn''t cry! The child''s originally fair skin turned red. Yu Xia immediately rushed up, took her daughter from the nanny, patted her back with trembling hands, trying to make her spit out what was stuck in her throat¡ª It''s a pity that no matter how she patted her daughter''s back, it didn''t seem to work! Seeing her daughter''s flushed face began to turn purple, Yu Xia was so frightened that her face was full of tears¡ª She kept patting her daughter''s back, panicked, and forced herself to calm down, calm down! At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and immediately called her man''s second brother Lan Xiuming! Fortunately, the phone was connected in time, Yu Xia heard the voice of the second brother, and cried and told the second brother about her daughter''s situation! When Lan Xiuming learned about his little niece, he was shocked! Immediately after that, he directed his siblings to rescue the children according to the Heimlich first aid method he said. Unfortunately, at this time, the little child has been stuck to suffocation. Xiao Yanran didn''t get stuck in her throat, but a sugar ball got stuck in her trachea! Yu Xia cried, shouted, and tried her best to save her daughter with first aid methods. But she was a novice in first aid when she came here, and her movements may not be in place. Secondly, her daughter was stuck in the trachea and could not breathe for at least three or four minutes. Watching her daughter''s face slowly turn gray and purple following her first aid, Yu Xia''s whole body collapsed! Lan Xiuming¡¯s voice also came from the phone, telling her, ¡°Calm down, you must be calm! Continue to follow the first aid method I said!¡± The answer to Lan Xiuming was that Yu Xia suddenly stopped crying as if her throat was strangled. Afterwards, Yu Xia''s voice came from the other side of the phone¡ª "It''s useless..." she said. She has just reached out to explore. Her daughter has no breathing, no heartbeat, no pulse... Her daughter, no more... "Woooooooooooooooo..." A suppressed cry sounded from Yu Xia''s throat, and then turned into a mournful cry! ¡ª Yu Xia''s heart hurts so badly that she can''t breathe! She really couldn''t bear the blow, her eyes went dark, and she passed out! ¡ª ¡­ When Yu Xia woke up again, it was already an hour later. Lan Sibo received the call and had already rushed back from the research institute. It was his second brother Lan Xiuming who was far away in Linjiang City who told him the news. Their daughter is no longer here, because a sugar got stuck in the trachea and suffocated to death¡ª Lan Sibo felt pain in his heart, and he knew that the one who was most saddened by this matter must be his daughter-in-law. He couldn''t bear to let his daughter-in-law see her suffocate to death with a blue face, so he ordered her to be sent to the funeral home in advance. Chapter 589: Gathered When Yu Xia saw her daughter again, it was already the second day. She went crazy the night before to see her daughter, but was stopped by Lan Sibo. Lan Sibo was afraid that after seeing his daughter, his daughter-in-law would not be able to bear such a blow, and would become emotional again and faint. He let his wife calm down for one night before going to see their daughter. Facing the person who blocked her, even if it was her own man, Yu Xia cried, scratched, kicked, and scratched uncontrollably. Lan Sibo endured it silently, with paint on his arms, neck, and even his face, and he didn''t let his wife go to the funeral home. Finally, Yu Xia was tired from crying. She lowered her head and sat on the sofa blankly, looking extremely decadent. Lan Sibo finally calmed down after seeing his daughter-in-law, so he invited his sister-in-law to come over to watch his daughter-in-law. He went to the funeral home to guard his daughter. The next day, Yu Xia, accompanied by her sister-in-law Tang Chu, got into the car driven by her sister-in-law Lan Shu, and went to the funeral home together. The news of Xiao Yanran''s death has already been informed by Lan Sibo to most of the relatives in the family. Last night, Lan Dazhuang went from unbelievable to shocked when he heard the news! I learned that the reason for the death of the little niece was that his mother gave the child candy, and the candy got stuck in the trachea, and the child suffocated to death. Lan Dazhuang was silent... An unspeakable blockage in his heart. At the same time, Lan Dazhuang also understood one thing. ¡ªFor the rest of his mother''s life, the relationship with the third brother''s family is completely over! Lan Shu also received a call from her third brother last night and found out about it. As for the cause of the incident, she could hear how heavy the third brother''s heart was, so she didn''t go to the bottom of the question to ask the reason. It was just that after the call with the third brother was over, she called the eldest brother and asked what happened. Lan Shu was very surprised by the circumstances of the incident. Although she has known for a long time that her adoptive mother has behaved inappropriately since she was old. But she never thought that her adoptive mother would cause such a big trouble because of her own will! ¡­ Lan Shu herself has been a mother and raised children, so she can understand the kind of affection between parents and children. Now that the child is gone, she can''t imagine how much pain the third brother and his wife have to bear in their hearts! ''Alas~! ¡¯ Lan Shu sighed, feeling sorry for Xiao Yanran and leaving, while worrying about the third brother and his wife. And her adoptive mother. Lan Shu didn''t know what to say. The adoptive mother lost the elder brother''s son Junjun, so the second brother''s son Haoran just wanted to escape. When he arrived at the third brother¡¯s house, he even single-handedly caused the death of his little niece¡ª Lan Shu is thankful that she brought up her own children and didn''t let her adoptive mother get involved! At the same time, she was also very angry with what her adoptive mother did! ¡­ In Linjiang City, Lan Xiuming was the first person to know about it. Yesterday afternoon, after he heard the news of his little niece''s death on the phone, he immediately asked for leave from the hospital. He took the train overnight and arrived in Kyoto early this morning. Lan Xiuming didn''t come alone this time. He also brought his wife Tian Na with him. Although Tian Na is busy with work, when she knew that Yu Xia''s daughter was gone, she knew how sad and fragile Yu Xia was at this time because of her harmonious sister-in-law relationship with Yu Xia! Maybe I went to Kyoto by myself, and after seeing Yu Xia, I can comfort Yu Xia a little... So Tian Na asked for leave without hesitation, and went to Kyoto with her man. ¡­ The Lan family, except for the brothers and sisters of Lan Shu who brought their family members to the funeral home. Among the grandchildren, Gu Qingning, who was married, also drove to the funeral home after sending his son to kindergarten. She still remembers the little sister in the third uncle''s family. That was her youngest cousin, Lan Yanran, who was only a little over a year old this year, younger than her son, and she just disappeared¡ª Gu Qingning felt sorry, but also worried about the third uncle and his wife. The little cousin is no longer here, I hope they can get out of their grief as soon as possible. Although Gu Qingning knew it was difficult, the dead are gone, and the living must continue to live... Lan Juncheng went abroad again some time ago, and is preparing for a performance at a foreign music festival recently, so his family didn''t tell him about it. As for Lan Haoran, the third child among the grandchildren of the Lan family, because he is going to university in other places, he will not be able to come back soon. The next step down the line is Gu Zerui. Knowing that his little cousin was gone, Gu Zerui was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked for leave from school to see his little cousin off for the last time. Gu Zerui never thought that the eldest grandma would be the one who killed the little cousin! Gu Zerui hasn''t gotten along with the eldest grandma very much, and the relationship between the two is average. Now that he learned the truth about his little cousin''s death, besides being angry, he couldn''t help complaining to his grandma! What Grandma did is really chilling! Killed her own granddaughter with her own hands, even if she didn''t do it on purpose, it just happened by accident, but it still can''t change the fact that this tragedy was caused by her! Gu Zerui didn''t know how the grandma was feeling at the moment. Did she feel guilty or guilty for what she did? ¡­ At this time, Gu Zerui remembered that Chang Chunfang, who accidentally killed her own granddaughter, has now been temporarily taken away from her third son''s home by her eldest son Lan Dazhuang. Chang Chunfang locked herself in her room at her eldest son''s house, unwilling to come out. She has only lived in the third son''s house for three months this time, and she has not yet moved to the place where she should live, but what she has done makes Lan Dazhuang worried that his mother will stay in the same house with the third brother''s family again. Lan Sibo also didn''t want his mother and daughter-in-law to be under the same roof. So his mother was picked up by the eldest brother, and he could not see it, so he felt a little better. The death of his daughter made him not want to see his own mother again in a short time! ¡­ This morning, when most of the Lan family were heading to the funeral home. Chang''an Avenue, Lan Dazhuang''s house, Chang Chunfang was deeply shocked by the accidental death of her granddaughter! Chang Chunfang never thought that she would kill her own granddaughter with her own hands! Her original intention was to be kind to her granddaughter! She wants her little granddaughter to be happy. She didn''t mean to! But the little granddaughter was killed by her... Chang Chunfang reflected that if she had listened to her third daughter-in-law and refused to let her granddaughter eat sweets, the tragedy like this would not have happened¡ª Chang Chunfang was frightened by the death of her little granddaughter. Last night, she blamed herself and cried for a long time, not knowing when she fell asleep. Early this morning, she heard from her nanny that her eldest son and daughter-in-law had gone to the funeral home. She felt sad again... She did something unforgivably wrong! Killed my own granddaughter~! Chang Chunfang was emotionally sad, suffering, and blamed herself. She even thought about paying for her little granddaughter''s life! Chapter 590: property Chapter 590 Property But at her age, Chang Chunfang really regretted her life. She was afraid of death, and she couldn''t make up her mind to die for a while. Chang Chunfang was in great pain. She didn''t know how to face her son in the future. She knew that she not only harmed her third son''s child, but her mistakes would also chill the hearts of her elder son and second son! Chang Chunfang covered her face, ''Woo~! ¡¯ cried¡­ She didn''t know what to do with herself in the future. She was sad, not only because of her little granddaughter, but also for herself. ¡­ In the funeral home, because Lan Yanran is too young, it is usually easy to deal with accidents with children. In addition, Lan Sibo and Yu Xia couldn''t bear the fact that their daughter''s body was slowly decomposing in such hot weather, so after they held a farewell ceremony for their daughter at the funeral home, they asked the staff to cremate the child. On the other side, Lan Dazhuang has already selected a cemetery in a suburban cemetery according to his third brother''s request. Yu Xia hugged her daughter''s urn, and sent her daughter to the cemetery for burial with tears streaming down her face. This day, for Yu Xia, was the most painful day for her! After seeing off her daughter, she wiped away her tears, and there was more hatred in her grief-stricken eyes! With her daughter gone, she will never forgive whoever killed her daughter! ¡­ On the second day after Lan Yanran was buried, Yu Xia came to the home of her eldest brother Lan Dazhuang. At this time, Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu were both there. Tang Chu knew that Yu Xia was looking for her mother-in-law, she didn''t hesitate, and immediately brought him into the house and led her upstairs. Chang Chunfang hardly left her bedroom these two days. She felt uncomfortable and didn''t want to see anyone. Yu Xia pushed the door open and walked in, seeing her mother-in-law who was half lying and half leaning on the bed, she walked over in two steps, raised her hand without any hesitation, and slapped Chang Chunfang **** the face! There was a sound of "pop!" At this moment, the person in front of her is no longer her elder in Yu Xia''s eyes, and she no longer deserves to be cared for and pitied just because of her health. What she faced was the enemy who killed her daughter! When Yu Xia came this time, Lan Sibo accompanied him. Lan Sibo followed his wife into the house, he didn''t expect Yu Xia to attack his mother directly! But the daughter-in-law really made a move, and he didn''t stop it at that moment. Even if he is a son, he should defend his mother, but what his mother did is really unforgivable¡ª He is his mother''s son and cannot do anything to his own mother, but he is not qualified to ask his wife to endure the pain and hatred of losing her daughter. On the bed in the bedroom, Chang Chunfang was suddenly slapped on the face by someone, and she instinctively let out a mournful howl! She saw clearly that the person who beat her was her third daughter-in-law. She knew she was at fault, but she was slapped by her daughter-in-law in front of her son. Because of the pain and embarrassment, she burst into tears. "Xiaoxia, I was wrong..." Chang Chunfang called her daughter-in-law and apologized. But what happened not long ago cannot be revealed by an apology at all! Yu Xia glared at her mother-in-law fiercely, thinking that the old woman in front of her had harmed her daughter, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. "Is an apology useful? My Yanran can''t come back!" When Yu Xia spoke, her voice was hoarse. In the past few days, she hardly ate anything, didn''t drink much water, plus she was irritable and angry, and her throat was sore that pus had already formed. But even so, Yu Xia didn''t go to rest, but came directly to him. Chang Chunfang understands the anger of her daughter-in-law, maybe her daughter-in-law has the heart to kill herself at this moment! Seeing the glaring eyes of her daughter-in-law, Chang Chunfang suddenly retreated in her heart¡ª¡ª "Xiao Xia, I''m sorry, I know what I say is useless, how can you forgive me..." "I will never forgive you in my life!" Yu Xia didn''t want to hear an apology at all, nor would she forgive Chang Chunfang. She even felt shocked by Sanguan! How dare Chang Chunfang ask for her forgiveness? ! How to solve this matter, even if Lan Dazhuang, Tang Chu, and Lan Sibo are standing by, only Yu Xia is really qualified to decide! She looked at Chang Chunfang with anger in her eyes, but her rationality was still there. "You harmed my daughter, even if you didn''t mean it, it was your actions that caused all of this!" "I can''t wait to kill you and let you be buried with my daughter! But you are also someone else''s mother, and they will protect you." "I don''t want to spend the rest of my life in prison because of you." "So from today, you and I are no longer mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship! You are just the murderer who killed my daughter!" As she spoke, Yu Xia turned her head and glanced at her man. She took a deep breath, became cruel, and then turned to Chang Chunfang and continued. "I will divorce your son, and I will stay far away from your family!" This decision was seriously considered by Yu Xia. She knew that as long as she was the daughter-in-law of the Lan family, it would be impossible to really separate her relationship with Chang Chunfang. Her man is Chang Chunfang''s son, and it is a son''s responsibility to support the elderly. She can''t be selfish and ask her man to no longer have contact with his mother! That''s not fair to the elder brother and the second elder brother''s family. Even though Chang Chunfang might not come to live with her again in a short period of time, she was worried that as time went by, after a few years, Chang Chunfang would think that the matter was over, and come to her again. The only way Yu Xia can think of is to divorce her man! Hearing her words, there was a momentary blankness in Lan Sibo''s heart¡ª He was shocked, and then quickly figured out why her daughter-in-law did this. Although he is reluctant to part with his wife, he knows that respecting her decision is the best protection for her. Lan Sibo didn''t hold back, he nodded silently. Then he also looked at his mother, who was half lying on the bed in the room, with a surprised expression on his face. Lan Sibo said seriously. "Mom, I will buy another house and move out. It will be my turn to take care of you for a few months. You can live in the current house with the nanny by yourself." He cannot escape the obligation of supporting his son, but he will never take care of his mother himself again. And his daughter died in that house, and he wanted his mother to live in it in the future. Every time he saw the environment and furnishings in the house, he would remember that she personally killed her little granddaughter! After finishing speaking, Lan Sibo took another look at his wife. "Divorce is fine, but the property of the family... Except for the house we live in now, you must take all the rest away." He is sorry for his wife, if he didn¡¯t need to be filial and support his mother, his child would not suddenly disappear¡ª Leaving all the property to his daughter-in-law can be regarded as a little compensation for his daughter-in-law. As for the money he needs to buy a house and move out... Borrow a little bit from the big brother at that time, and return the money to the big brother after the dividends of the orchard and free-range chicken farm that their brothers have invested in next year. (end of this chapter) Chapter 591: promising When Yu Xia heard Lan Sibo''s words, she cried again¡ª She knew Lan Sibo''s love for her, and she also had deep feelings for this man in her heart. But no amount of emotion can match hatred! She can only choose this way. Regarding the family property, when Yu Xia filed for divorce, she didn''t think about how much she would share. As a singer, she made a lot of money when she was young. But her man gets dividends every year, so he has a lot of money. They have always put money together, so it is impossible to calculate how much of the family''s property belongs to whom. In Yu Xia''s opinion, if they divorce, each of them will get half of the family''s money. But now that Lan Sibo wants to leave all the money to her, how can Yu Xia not feel sad? They are obviously in love, but they have to separate... She knew that both she and Lan Sibo were in pain. Chang Chunfang on the side heard that his son would leave all the family money to his daughter-in-law and leave the house by himself, Chang Chunfang couldn''t understand what his son was thinking! She subconsciously wanted to stop her son! But at this time, she found that she was no longer qualified to manage the affairs between her son and his daughter-in-law. She only knew that because of her, her third son¡¯s originally good family was about to break up¡ª She is sorry for her son... Before Yu Xia left Lan Dazhuang''s house, she slapped Chang Chunfang hard again! The previous slap was for her daughter, and this slap was because of Chang Chunfang, her marriage was broken. Chang Chunfang knew she was wrong, so even though her face hurt, she didn''t fight back. After Yu Xia left, Chang Chunfang''s face was swollen, and the red finger marks were clearly visible! Because of her age, she lost two of her teeth that had been active for a long time, and she looked quite pitiful. But at this time, except for Lan Dazhuang who would care a few words, no one else would sympathize with her. Tang Chu, who witnessed the whole process, even felt that Yu Xia was too talkative. If a mother-in-law hurt her son so much, she must have killed her mother-in-law with a knife! She is not afraid of going to jail for it. If there is no son, Tang Chu feels that it doesn''t matter whether he wants to continue to live in this life~! ¡­ One month later, Yu Xia and Lan Sibo completed the divorce procedures, and the property was divided. Just like what Lan Sibo said, he wants to leave all the family''s money to his wife. But Yu Xia still couldn''t bear to see the man she loved leave the house, so she left 800,000 yuan for Lan Sibo, and asked Lan Sibo to buy a house in the city, at least with a place to live. As for their house on Chang''an Avenue, Yu Xia did not separate from her man. This house was bought when they got married, and they have lived in it for more than 20 years. They have their lovely daughter in this house. Yu Xia wants to come back once in a while to have a look, even if she sees things and thinks about others~ She wants to think about her baby all the time. As for Lan Sibo having to take his mother home for four months every year, Yu Xia has no objection. At that time, Lan Sibo will tell her in advance that she will not come here during that time. So this house on Chang''an Avenue eventually became the joint property of Yu Xia and Lan Sibo. became the only remaining bond between the two¡ª ¡­ Soon, it will be the end of October. Lan Juncheng finished his overseas music festival activities and returned to China. This time he came back alone, leaving his wife and children abroad. Lan Juncheng came back this time because he heard about his little cousin. The second day after returning to China, he went to worship his little cousin. Lan Juncheng did not go back to his parents'' house, but went to live in his wedding room in Kyoto for two days. Visited third uncle Lan Sibo and Aunt Lan Shu, but he didn''t go home either. Because his grandma is living there. Learning that the little cousin was absent because of grandma''s absence, Lan Juncheng was very concerned about this matter. He feels that grandma is not worthy of being an elder! At least not an elder whom he can respect. Such a person, it doesn''t matter if he doesn''t see him! Because his wife and children are abroad, Lan Juncheng did not stay in China for too long. Before he left, he cooked a table of dishes himself, called his parents to his side, and had a reunion dinner with them. During the meal, Lan Juncheng mentioned to his parents about his current development and achievements in the foreign music circle. Now he has officially become an independent performer, and when he usually plays with the orchestra in music festivals, he also performs as the chief performer. In a word, Lan Juncheng has already made a name for himself on the road of music, relying on his musical talent. He has lived up to his parents'' cultivation, he has succeeded! Lan Dazhuang and Tang Chu didn''t know anything about the foreign music industry, but they heard from their son that their son''s salary for a performance now, when converted into domestic money, is at least more than a hundred thousand! Sometimes it can even reach three to four hundred thousand! Even though Lan Dazhuang was not short of money to do business, and the funds in his account lined up in a long line, he never thought that someone would be able to earn hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, a day just by playing the piano! "Junjun is promising~!" Lan Dazhuang smiled and patted his son on the shoulder. He is happy for his son. Actually, when his son chose to take the road of music, Lan Dazhuang had already thought about it. Even if his son failed to achieve anything in the future, the family property he saved would be enough for his son to live comfortably in this life. He does not ask his son to have great ability, nor does he expect his son to honor his ancestors. As long as the son is happy, that''s enough. Now he finds that his son''s abilities far exceed his psychological expectations! My son has the ability to make money on his own, so he feels more at ease and feels radiant~! ¡­ The day after Lan Juncheng and his family had dinner, he boarded a plane to go abroad and left Kyoto. His return to China, Chang Chunfang didn''t even know about it. Life still had to go, Chang Chunfang stayed at the eldest son''s house for another half a month, and then was taken to Linjiang City by the second son. Here in Kyoto, Lan Dazhuang will also go back to Tianshui Village. Before he left, he made an agreement with his wife that he would definitely come back before Xiaonian and spend the holidays with her. ¡­ On the other side, the Meng family. Meng Dabao''s younger sister, Meng Xiaoxiao, finally came out to work as she wished. Originally, she had agreed with her family that she would have to work after two months of rest at home. As a result, Meng Heng let Meng Xiaoxiao rest at home for three months under the pretext that he was looking for a job for his daughter! Finally, Meng Heng found his daughter a job as a cashier in a supermarket. This job is eight hours a day, and there are high chairs to sit on. Compared with other manual jobs, it is a good job. Meng Dabao was happy for his sister when he learned that his sister had a new job. When Zhou Lan saw her sister-in-law slowly coming out of her illness, she also breathed a sigh of relief. It''s just that my sister-in-law is still taking medicine every day because of her illness. If my sister-in-law¡¯s illness can¡¯t be cured, then she will probably find it difficult to find someone to marry in her life, and she won¡¯t dare to have children... Thinking of this, Zhou Lan even considered whether she should have a second child? Otherwise, when Xiaoyu grows up, in addition to providing for his parents, he may also need to take care of his aunt. This is too much pressure for children. If it is shared by brothers or siblings, the situation may be better. Chapter 592: money news Entering November, the weather has gradually cooled down. Originally planned to buy the house in July and August, Lan Xinya, who had finished the decoration and moved in before the end of the year, has not yet achieved her wish. Her plan to buy a house can''t keep up with the changes in housing prices! Lan Xinya felt anxious as she watched the house price go up every month, but there was nothing she could do. At the most exaggerated time, even after three days, the price of a house increased by several thousand! She originally planned to buy a small house of fifty or sixty square meters, but now, the money she saved can¡¯t buy it¡ª The matter of buying a house was once again on hold, which made Lan Xinya feel restless. Even when she was selling clothes in the store, she encountered some customers who bargained too hard, she couldn''t hold back, and quarreled with them directly! In less than a week, Lan Xinya quarreled with someone three times. So that other shops around know that she is a clothing store owner who has a bad temper, and some customers who witnessed everything when she was arguing at the time stopped coming to her shop. So recently Lan Xinya''s business has been much worse than before. She made an estimate. If things go on like this, she is not sure whether her clothing store will earn 1,000 yuan after deducting the rent and electricity bills this month! Lan Xinya, who was already short of money, made less money and felt even worse. At this time, a phone call instantly dispelled her bad mood! "Is it Ms. Lan Xinya? This is the Yuncheng Law Enforcement Team. We cracked a fraud case not long ago. One of the criminals, Sun Yan, confessed that she had defrauded you and defrauded you of 18,000 yuan. bucks..." Listening to the content on the phone, Lan Xinya was slightly taken aback for a while, and then she was full of energy! "Yes, yes, that sister Sun... Sun Yan cheated me of 18,000 yuan back then!" After Lan Xinya was cheated, although she went to the law enforcement team to file a case, there has been no news for so many years. She thought that she would never be able to get back the money she was cheated of in this life, but she didn''t expect that there are surprises everywhere in life! Even if the 18,000 that year was worth more than the 18,000 now, but now she can get the money back, it''s better than nothing. Lan Xinya reported her bank card account number according to what the other party said on the phone. Immediately afterwards, she received a SMS verification code on her mobile phone, which was said to be to verify whether her identity was Lan Xinya herself. After all the steps are completed, the next step is to wait for the money in the account to arrive. Lan Xinya was looking forward to the 18,000 appearing on her card. Add 18,000, the 50-square-meter small house she wants to buy, there is still a chance! Because the other party said that it would take about forty-eight hours for the money to arrive in the account, Lan Xinya didn''t go to the bank to check the balance on her account until the third day. On the self-service cash machine, she clicked the check balance button, and in the next second, a series of numbers appeared in front of her eyes¡ª Balance: 0.01 Lan Xinya was stunned when she saw this number, and then her eyes widened in surprise! She couldn''t believe what she saw! So she withdrew the bank card, looked carefully at the number on the card, and made sure that the card was her own, then inserted the card again, entered the password, and checked the balance. After repeating the operation, the result this time is the same as last time, and the remaining balance on her account is only 0.01. Seeing this scene, Lan Xinya only felt dizzy for a while, and she couldn''t even control herself, ''Ah! ¡ª'' a cry of surprise! Lan Xinya''s cry caught the attention of the bank lobby manager. The manager in a lady''s suit and uniform walked towards her and asked in a warm voice, "What''s wrong with you, aunt?" When Lan Xinya saw the staff in the bank, she seemed to grasp the last straw! She looked at the female manager, and asked in a hurried voice, "Is the deposit and withdrawal machine of your bank broken!?" This question stunned the female manager for a moment. Immediately she replied, "Why? If our machine breaks down, there will be a system report for repair. Our internal staff have checked it this morning, and there is no problem with the machine." "Then why is there no money in my account?!" Lan Xinya lost control of her voice¡ª "I have saved money for many years! There are tens of thousands of dollars, and now I have only one penny left!" Lan Xinya screamed, she rushed to the bank manager, grabbed her shoulder emotionally, and wanted her to give her an explanation! Lan Xinya''s aggressive behavior shocked the female manager for a moment. The security guards on duty in the bank lobby rushed up immediately, and were about to pull Lan Xinya, an emotional middle-aged woman, away. The security guard pulled several times before finally letting the female manager get away. When she looked at Lan Xinya again, the female manager no longer had the gentle eyes before, but was distant and vigilant. She took a few steps back, and was more than a meter away from Lan Xinya, before asking again, "Auntie, if there is less money in your savings account, we can check it for you at the counter, please don''t be so excited." When Lan Xinya heard what the female manager said, she seemed to have found hope again! "Yes, yes! Please check for me, my money is on the card, it is impossible to suddenly disappear!" As she spoke, she walked towards the bank counter, gave her bank card to the bank teller through the window, and asked the other party to check the funds in her account. After a series of inquiry procedures, the bank teller''s voice sounded from behind the counter. "Auntie, the balance in your account is only one cent, are you sure you didn''t take the wrong card?" When Lan Xinya heard this, her emotions became agitated again, and her throat tightened, "I did not take the wrong card! There are hundreds of thousands in my card!" The bank teller immediately comforted her after hearing her words, "Auntie, don''t get excited, I''m checking the account flow for you." Following the teller, he clicked the mouse and tapped the keyboard a few times before answering Lan Xinya. "Auntie, the account history shows that you transferred more than 153,000 yuan from your account to another account through online banking three days ago..." When Lan Xinya heard this, she immediately remembered the call she received three days ago from the Yuncheng Law Enforcement Team! At this moment, she seemed to think of something, her eyes widened in disbelief. "This is impossible!" She said, looking at the bank teller, "I didn''t transfer the money out! It wasn''t me, it was someone else who transferred my money!" Because Lan Xinya was too excited, the security personnel in the lobby of the bank came to her side again, ready to control this aunt who might get violent at any time. The bank teller seemed to think of something when he heard her words. "Auntie, you are saying that you have money in your account, but it was transferred by others, right? In this case, I suggest you report the case as soon as possible. After filing the case, you may be able to track down the account and transfer the money back." Listening to the teller''s words, Lan Xinya stood up "squeaking¡ª" and picked up her bank card, then stumbled and ran outside¡ª Chapter 593: secondary fraud Lan Xinya joined the law enforcement team that day! After listening to her description, the law enforcement team realized that this might be a phone fraud case. Then the law enforcement team immediately submitted an application to the higher authorities, waited for the inquiry authority to pass, and filed a case to investigate the whereabouts of the money in the account. Lan Xinya came to the bank again with members of the law enforcement team, and found out through the internal system that the more than 150,000 yuan in Lan Xinya''s account was transferred to other people''s accounts three days ago, and immediately returned to the bank with several hundred, Thousands of credits were distributed to more than 20 other accounts. Finally, the money in these accounts was transferred to overseas accounts. Because it is an overseas bank account, domestic banks no longer have inquiry authority, so the money is basically impossible to get back¡ª Knowing this result, Lan Xinya''s feet went limp, and she collapsed in front of the bank counter! The moment she fell, her head tilted and hit the edge of the marble counter! The instant pain penetrated into her head, Lan Xinya only felt her eyes go dark, and then passed out¡ª ¡­ When Lan Xinya woke up again, it was already the next day. What caught my eye was the white ceiling and the white quilt covering myself. Lan Xinya looked around and found herself lying on the bed in the hospital ward. Her head hurts, she raised her hand to touch it, and her head was wrapped with gauze. She probably knew she might have hit her head. At this time, Lan Xinya''s mood has calmed down a lot, and there is still a bit of doubt in her eyes. She tried to sit up from the bed, but found that her body was very heavy and it was very inconvenient to move around. She didn''t remember when she fell, and she still fell on her head? Lan Xinya was thinking, she was suddenly startled¡ª The environment in the ward looks a bit too bad at this time, right? In an ordinary white room, there are patients on the left and right beds. "Triple room?" How could I live in a three-person room? ! Lan Xinya was thinking about getting up and asking who put her in this kind of place. Her family obviously has a family doctor! The second Lan Xinya sat up from the bed and stretched out her hand to lift the quilt off her body, she saw her hands¡ª Those are a pair of thick, rough hands covered with chloasma spots! "Ah!¡ª" she exclaimed, unable to believe that it was her own hand! Then she lowered her head and saw her body again. The fat was pushed up in circles under the clothes, and the waist was completely invisible. How could this be her! At this time, a series of memories rushed into Lan Xinya''s mind. Her head hurt from rushing. Lan Xinya felt dizzy for a while, and it lasted for more than ten minutes before her head gradually cleared up. She got the inexplicable memory, and only then did she know her current situation! She is no longer the wife of the president of the Gu Corporation, no longer the elegant, refined lady who is a model of women. Instead, she became a middle-aged aunt in her forties, almost fifty years old, obese, ugly, with no money, who opened a small clothing store to sell clothes! "Ah!¡ª" Lan Xinya screamed again. She couldn''t believe that she was herself in her memory! According to the information obtained from memory, the current self is indeed me! Since I didn''t marry Gu Cheng at the age of nineteen, my follow-up experience was completely different from my own! "how so!" Lan Xinya was shocked, but before she had time to think clearly about the situation, she was surrounded by nurses who suddenly rushed into the ward. Her two screams just now made other patients in the ward think that something serious happened to her, so the patient''s family members went out and informed the nurse at the nurse''s desk. Waiting for the two nurses, one on the left and one on the right, half-forced Lan Xinya to lie down on the hospital bed again, and then checked her in a daze and came to a conclusion¡ª "Patient fell on the head, maybe concussion?" "I''ll call the doctor to take a look. She looks like she needs to take an X-ray to check." After hearing the nurse''s conversation, Lan Xinya finally came to her senses. "I''m fine! I''m leaving the hospital!" She just remembered that she has no money now! She remembered how ''herself'' got into the hospital¡ª Because of being scammed by the phone, the money in the account was gone. I couldn''t bear the blow, and I hit my head during the fainting process, so I went to the hospital. Now she wants to leave the hospital, but she doesn''t know what to do with the medical expenses! Sure enough, seeing that she was leaving the hospital, the nurses immediately reported the news to the doctor. After the doctor conducted a simple examination on her and confirmed that she was conscious, she agreed to her discharge request. However, before she was discharged from the hospital, she had to pay off the treatment expenses incurred in the hospital, which totaled more than 200 yuan. It is no exaggeration to say that Lan Xinya is penniless now. Before she went to the bank to check the accounts, she carried a few dollars of change on her body to take the bus. The rest of the money was in the money drawer of the store, so she wanted to be discharged from the hospital, but it was a bit of trouble. In the end, a nurse in the hospital followed her to the clothing store to get the money, and she was discharged from the hospital. After the nurse left, Lan Xinya sat in the clothing store and finally had time to seriously think about her current situation. She thought about it for a few hours, and came to the conclusion that, as a famous Guitai in the business circle, for some reason, she suddenly came to this...parallel world. My life in this world is not good, it can even be said to be horrible! Lan Xinya didn''t know why she came here, and she didn''t want to come here at all! She is not Lan Xinya here, she wants to go back! But how to go back and continue her good life, Lan Xinya doesn''t know¡ª After figuring out her situation, Lan Xinya began to inquire about Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng is her husband, if he finds Gu Cheng, will he have some clues to go back? In order to find out Gu Cheng''s whereabouts, Lan Xinya took some change and went to a nearby Internet cafe, and tried to search Gu Cheng''s name on the Internet. But there are too many people with this name! She was accurate to ''Business Genius Gu Cheng'', ''President of Gu''s Group'', and finally ''Businessman Gu Cheng'', and there was no information related to Gu Cheng at all. However, Lan Xinya saw Gu Jue''s name in the news searched on the Internet! ''Gu Jue, Professor of Peking University School of Medicine'', ''Gu Jue, Founder of XX Online Game'', ''Gu Jue, Major Shareholder of Lan Gu Group''... In addition, Lan Xinya also found a piece of news¡ª¡ª ''Gu Jue, the husband of Lan Shu, the female president of Lan Gu Group. '' ''Female president, Lan Shu? '' Lan Xinya still has an impression of the name Lan Shu, she is her parents'' biological daughter. She still remembered that Lan Shu was a village girl from the countryside, fat, ugly, and divorced. They met many years ago, and Lan Xinya didn''t see Lan Shu at all. Because Lan Shu was too incompetent, even if she was brought back from the countryside by her parents, she was rejected by her parents because of all kinds of unbearable behaviors within two years. Later, Lan Shu left home without any news. Thinking of this, another series of memories appeared in Lan Xinya''s mind. That''s information about Lan Shu and Gu Jue. Lan Xinya was surprised to find that the female president Lan Shu she found on the Internet was really the biological daughter she remembered from her parents many years ago! In the process of closing, end at the end of the month! Chapter 594: huge contrast Lan Xinya took a long time to digest these new news. "So, in this parallel world, it is no longer me who has a successful career and a happy life, but Lan Shu?!" Lan Xinya couldn''t believe the result, it was simply ridiculous! How did that fat and ugly village girl achieve what she is now? Lan Xinya didn''t understand why she came to this world. Could it be because Lan Shu shouldn''t have the current status, so the world pulled itself over to rectify Lan Shu? This kind of thought was only for a moment, and Lan Xinya dismissed the idea. In the past, she was in a high position, and with more knowledge, her thinking would not be so childish. If you are still young at this time, you may still have a chance to counterattack. But now, she looks at her hands, at the stubborn fat accumulated all over her body, and at her almost fifty years old... She has no room for a comeback! So now Lan Xinya doesn''t think about how to make Lan Shu, who has a successful career, unhappy. She just wants to go back to the world that belongs to her and continue to be her own rich lady! After thinking about the path she was going to take, Lan Xinya began to plan to find her husband Gu Cheng¡ª According to her memory more than 20 years ago, since her husband was able to become famous in the mall, his future will definitely not be so bad! I can definitely find out the whereabouts of my husband! Lan Xinya needs money if she wants to find someone. The money in her account was lost by fraudulent phone calls. In the money drawer in the clothing store, all the money added up was less than one thousand yuan. In order to make money as soon as possible, she sold the clothes in the clothing store ''broken''! There are many people who are greedy for cheap, and the price of the clothes she sells has dropped to an outrageous level, so the sales are naturally fast. Fortunately, there was a lot of stock in the store, so she sold the clothes for three days with condescension, and received more than 4,000 to less than 5,000 yuan, and sold the inventory in the clothing store for seven or eighty-eight. Actually, according to Lan Xinya''s original price for the clothes in the store, these clothes are sold, even if the money received is not more than ten thousand, it will at least look like eight or nine thousand. Now Lan Xinya is short of money, she doesn''t care about losing money, she thinks that she just needs to take care of herself now. I have to say that whether it is the previous Lan Xinya or the current Lan Xinya, the same person, even though their growth experiences are different, their selfish heart has not changed from the beginning to the end... ¡­ On the fourth day, Lan Xinya closed the door of the clothing store, then took the money, and according to her memory of Kyoto, she went to the Gu family in the courtyard¡ª Gu Cheng is the son of the Gu family, and the Gu family will definitely know about Gu Cheng. It''s just that Lan Xinya is not sure whether her parents-in-law, who are partial to their youngest son Gu Jue, are still alive in this world? Calculating the time, in her world, her parents-in-law had already passed away. Of course they didn''t end their lives, but they complained about her husband in their hearts, were angry for a long time, and finally killed themselves! ¡­ Lan Xinya took a taxi and came to the gate of the compound where the Gu family lived. The guards here are relatively strict, and outsiders can''t easily enter, so Lan Xinya waited outside the door, blowing the wind for several hours, and finally waited for her former acquaintances in the compound. It''s just that they don''t know each other in this life, and it doesn''t matter. Although she didn''t know each other, Lan Xinya relied on her past memories to get in touch with the other party and find out some news. When she thought that across two time and space, she could still easily gain the trust of others and easily get the news she wanted to know. In front of the gate of the compound, the guards swarmed up at the call of the person she spoke to, and quickly pushed her to the ground¡ª Someone even got a hemp rope from nowhere and tied her tightly! Lan Xinya heard someone say, "This woman just asked me about the situation in the compound. If there is no accident, she should be a spy! Hand her over to the law enforcement team and have a good trial!" Lan Xinya never imagined that her scheme was almost unsuccessful! Before she had time to ask about the situation of Gu''s family and Gu Cheng''s whereabouts, she was labeled a spy! For the next half a month, she was interrogated by the law enforcement team. But because she is really not a spy, and she confessed honestly, she just wanted to find out about the Gu family and Gu Cheng. After all, more than 20 years ago, they almost became a family. Although her reasoning was far-fetched, the law enforcement team really couldn''t find out that she had the motive of being a spy. So based on all the information found, a conclusion is drawn after synthesis¡ª The law enforcement team only thought that Lan Xinya had been scammed by phone calls, and she was desperate for a while, thinking of her boyfriend from more than 20 years ago, she had the cheek to find someone to see if she could help her. Finally, Lan Xinya''s detention ended, and before the law enforcement team left, she finally learned of Gu Cheng''s whereabouts. What she didn''t expect was that after her husband didn''t choose to marry her more than 20 years ago, life was not easy. The law enforcement team told her that Gu Cheng is now in Yuncheng Prison. If she looks for someone, she can only go to the prison. Lan Xinya thinks about her middle-aged wealthy businessman''s husband, and then thinks about Gu Cheng''s fate in this world... After some hesitation, Lan Xinya decided to meet Gu Cheng. ¡­ In late December, the weather has cooled down. Lan Xinya wore a black down jacket and got on the train to Yuncheng. The cold temperature suppressed the smell of chicken feathers in the down on her body. Although this kind of clothes smell bad, especially in summer, the whole room smells like chicken feathers, but it is really warm to wear. The train drove for eleven or twelve hours before arriving at Yuncheng. After that, she tried to get through the relationship and went to see Gu Cheng. Opening up relationships requires money. Lan Xinya bought cigarettes and gave money. She spent more than two thousand yuan. In the end, she was told that Gu Cheng was not in prison for a long time, but was sent to Yuncheng Mental Hospital! After that, Lan Xinya changed places non-stop to find someone, and finally had the opportunity to meet Gu Cheng. On this day, Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya met in the single room of the mental hospital. Lan Xinya looked at Gu Cheng, whose arms were bound by restraint belts, with a face full of vicissitudes and wrinkles. She was silent for half a minute. They sat facing each other, with a table between them, and Lan Xinya could still smell the rotten smell coming from Gu Cheng! Obviously, Gu Cheng didn''t know how long he hadn''t showered or changed his clothes! In Lan Xinya''s memory, her husband is the man who wears a neat suit, doesn''t get fat even in middle age, and has a mature charm. He is called a "handsome uncle" by young girls. Lan Xinya couldn''t believe that the sloppy old man opposite was her husband! Chapter 595: Is the three caves of the cunning rabbit empty? Psychiatric hospital, in the room where patients and their families meet, Gu Cheng saw Lan Xinya, but he didn''t recognize her. He didn''t know what the strange middle-aged fat aunt in front of him could do to him? After Lan Xinya was surprised enough and gradually accepted the exaggerated facts before her, she opened her mouth to talk to Gu Cheng. "Old... Gu Cheng, do you still remember me? I am Lan Xinya." "Lan Xinya..." Of course Gu Cheng knew the name. But the Lan Xinya in his memory and the middle-aged aunt in front of him are basically two people! Gu Cheng shook his head, "You are not Lan Xinya, although my wife is not a young girl anymore, she is prettier than you." Hearing Gu Cheng''s words, Lan Xinya''s heart exploded! Gu Cheng actually said that he was his wife! ? "Husband?!" She immediately called out to the sloppy old man in front of her. When Gu Cheng heard her address, he seemed to have some different emotions than usual. He frowned, and stopped looking at Lan Xinya with the casual eyes just now. At this moment, he looked at Lan Xinya more seriously than before¡ª "Am I really married to Lan Xinya?" He began to doubt himself. Although he has long been unable to distinguish between dreams and reality, he still remembers that in reality, he did not marry a wife. He and Lan Xinya were only in love when they were young. So if the fat aunt opposite is really Lan Xinya, she shouldn''t call her husband, right? What the **** is going on here? ! The meeting between Lan Xinya and Gu Cheng did not go well. Her claim to Gu Cheng caused Gu Cheng to fall ill again. Gu Cheng emotionally denies everything in reality, saying that he is the richest man and a famous businessman, not mentally ill! Psychopaths would say that they are not sick, and soon a doctor took Gu Cheng away, and told Lan Xinya, who came to visit Gu Cheng, that the patient was emotionally unstable and should not meet with others for at least half a month. When Lan Xinya left the mental hospital, she still remembered what Gu Cheng said just now when he fell ill. Her husband, like himself, has memories of them in another world, but was diagnosed as mentally ill by the doctor! Lan Xinya wants to say that her husband is not sick! But in that case, she worried that she would be caught by the doctor too. And the husband in her memory is mature, handsome, charming, and rich in money. She can''t accept the dirty old man in the mental hospital as her husband psychologically. So she has no intention of living with her husband in this world, but maybe she can figure out a way to get her husband out of the mental hospital? What if Gu Cheng is the key to leaving this world? Lan Xinya thinks about it carefully, if there is anyone related to her, it seems that Gu Cheng is the only one. As for her adoptive parents... In her glorious world, her adoptive parents have long been unable to keep up with her pace, and she ignored them. What''s more, in today''s world, in her memory, her adoptive parents have long since ceased contacting her, otherwise her life would not have been so miserable! It is not an easy task for Lan Xinya to get Gu Cheng out of the mental hospital. A few days later, when Gu Cheng''s mood stabilized, she asked to see Gu Cheng again. She hoped that Gu Cheng could cooperate with the doctor to make him appear to be in a good mental state, so that he could be released from the mental hospital. At this moment, Lan Xinya has long forgotten the fact that even if Gu Cheng leaves the mental hospital, he will go to prison. And when Gu Cheng met Lan Xinya this time, he heard what Lan Xinya said about another world, a completely different development from today¡ª He had other guesses about what he ''saw'' in his dream. "So, I''m actually not confused between reality and dreams. Everything in the dream is real, and maybe reality is a false existence?" Gu Cheng fell into deep thought about this matter... Lan Xinya didn''t rush to urge Gu Cheng to accept what she said. She will give Gu Cheng time to think. She will also try her best to help Gu Cheng regain his freedom! ¡­ Unknowingly, Lan Xinya has been in Yuncheng for almost two months. The Chinese New Year is approaching and the weather is cold. It rarely snows in Yuncheng, but this year there are snowflakes in the sky. The thousands of dollars that Lan Xinya brought with her before she came to Yuncheng have basically bottomed out after spending the first two months in the prison¡ª Next, she must have money to support her idea of ??continuing to rescue Gu Cheng. For this matter, Lan Xinya had to go back to Kyoto. She remembered that there was still some inventory in her clothing store, which could be cleared out at a low price and converted into money to continue to support her subsequent expenses. Before Lan Xinya left Yuncheng, she went to the mental hospital to meet Gu Cheng again. Today''s Gu Cheng has become very different from before after Lan Xinya''s narration and enlightenment in the past two months! In the past, Gu Cheng only wanted to live in fantasy, but now he looks much more normal. He began to long for the world that existed in the dream, and began to believe Lan Xinya''s words. ¡ªPerhaps one day they will return to that world? After learning that Lan Xinya was leaving Yuncheng, Gu Cheng was a little nervous and worried. He was afraid that Lan Xinya would leave him and return to the world in his dream alone. After learning that Lan Xinya had no money, so she had to find a way to get money and had to leave Yuncheng, Gu Cheng quietly told Lan Xinya a secret. Jiaotu Sanku, before he was arrested and imprisoned, he still hid some property. Now he can''t get out of the mental hospital, but he can let Lan Xinya get the money and find a way to get himself out of here. Today''s Lan Xinya is not the commonplace Lan Xinya. She used to be in a high position, and she knows that most things can be done with money! So Lan Xinya wrote down the places where Gu Cheng told her to put the money, and promised Gu Cheng that one day she would definitely rescue Gu Cheng! Gu Cheng nodded and said to Lan Xinya, "Then I will wait for you to come to me again." Lan Xinya also readily agreed, and told herself in her heart that she would definitely go back to her own world! ¡­ Lan Xinya left, leaving with Gu Cheng''s secret. In the days before and after the Chinese New Year, Lan Xinya went to several small cities according to what Bao Cheng said, trying to get the bank card from the contact person, and then took the money away. But even Gu Cheng didn''t think that since he ''went in'', he was sentenced to more than ten years in prison, and he might never have the chance to go out in his lifetime. All of his younger brothers changed their minds and stopped waiting for him. They got Gu Cheng''s card, even if they don''t have the account password, they can still use their ID card to report the loss. In order to keep the money, Gu Cheng didn¡¯t use his own identity information to apply for a bank card, so the money was already taken away by his little brothers, and it was almost used¡ª Therefore, Lan Xinya did not get the money left by Gu Cheng smoothly. She didn''t even have the money for the bus ticket back to Kyoto... Chapter 596: cant end When Lan Xinya, who didn''t belong to this world, was running around for the confused Gu Cheng, Lan Shu and Xiao Bai didn''t know anything about such a change. It was Meng Dabao who discovered that his mother hadn''t asked him for money for several months. He went to the clothing store owned by his own mother and found that the door of the store was closed. Meng Dabao asked nearby neighbors and merchants, only to learn that the clothing store has been closed for several months. Fortunately, the rent of the store was paid for a quarter at a time, so the landlord did not force the door open. It¡¯s just that the rent is about to be due, and the landlord said that if Lan Xinya doesn¡¯t show up to pay the rent after the New Year, she will clear out her store¡ª After Meng Dabao learned the news, he once wondered if his mother was in some trouble, disappeared, or was killed? He worried for a long time, and didn''t see anyone until the Chinese New Year, and then he took the initiative to call his mother. Fortunately, Lan Xinya''s phone still has a call charge, so she won''t be unable to contact her due to downtime. When Meng Dabao called, she was worrying about not having money to go back to the capital. Lan Xinya picked up the phone with the number marked as ''Dabao'', and just put the phone to her ear, when she heard a young voice calling her, "Mom, where have you been lately? Why isn''t the store open?" Maybe this ''mom'' touched Lan Xinya, and in the next second, some news about her in this world appeared in her mind again! Lan Xinya found out that she was actually married when she was in her twenties! And a son was born¡ª And that son had a high fever when he was a child, and his brain was burnt out. For Lan Xinya, what made her unacceptable was that she was married to another man and gave birth to a man with a very ordinary family! Thinking of giving birth to someone else''s child, Lan Xinya felt panicked. But Lan Xinya felt that she was short of money when her son came to her, and it should be resolved. So she told Meng Dabao on the phone, "I went on a trip a while ago and lost my money halfway. Now I have no money, and I can''t even go home..." When Meng Dabao heard that his own mother was in such a difficult situation, without further ado, he quickly asked for leave from the construction site, got on the train, and arrived in the city where Lan Xinya was located the next day. Later, he brought Lan Xinya back to Kyoto. Meng Dabao is an honest person, he can see that Lan Xinya has encountered difficulties. So there is no need for Lan Xinya to speak, he has already given out the **** money that should have been paid in the past few months. He even prepaid the money for the next two months in advance. So Lan Xinya received a total of 2,500 yuan. With all this money, Lan Xinya will not be penniless for the time being and will not be able to survive! But she wanted to get Gu Cheng out of the mental hospital, because she had no money, she had to put it on hold¡ª ¡­ On the other side, the Gu family on Chang''an Street. March ends and April begins. A few days ago, Lan Shu celebrated her forty-eighth birthday. At this age, although her body does not have any soreness in her waist and legs, her energy is obviously not as good as when she was young. Fortunately, my daughter is about to graduate from graduate school, and in a few months, she can be the successor, slowly taking over the Langu Group from her. In addition to Gu Qingning''s graduation, Gu Zerui will be able to leave school in two months. Gu Zerui didn¡¯t say much about his studies during his college years. Last semester, he was even asked by his tutors whether he would go on to graduate school, and the school had a recommendation quota. In exchange for something that other students dreamed of, in front of Gu Zerui, he refused without hesitation. His ambition is not to learn this way. Knowing his thoughts, the instructor sighed again and again, but there was nothing he could do. The next April and May passed quickly, and in June, it was the day when Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui graduated. After graduating, Gu Qingning joined the Langu Group non-stop, and slowly took over the work from the middle level. Gu Zerui, on the other hand, directly invested in the ''Peak'' game studio that he had dreamed of for a long time, and became a professional player. Jiang Wei is the happiest about Gu Zerui becoming a professional game player~! In the past two years, Jiang Wei has already made a name for herself in the e-sports circle, and is regarded as a goddess by gamers in the circle¡ª People in the circle who often follow Jiang Wei know that the goddess "Ginger" has a white moonlight in her heart. Every time the goddess "Ginger" is interviewed, she will mention the person who brought her into the circle. I heard that that person will also enter the professional circle in a few years, people in the circle have always been curious about who is that person? Until one day, they saw a new post on the public WB account of Goddess Ginger. ¡ª¡®Waiting for many years, welcome. '' A few short words let many people know that the goddess ''Ginger'' wants to join the professional circle! As for the reason why the other party didn¡¯t join in the early years and had to wait for so many years, under the WB of ¡®Ginger¡¯, everyone knew the answer in a reply of ¡®Thank you¡¯. The name of the account that responded was Gu Zerui, and there was no real name or surname concealed at all. From the name of Gu Zerui, digging deeper, and soon, netizens knew the identity of ''Gu Zerui'' from the account owner''s reposts, likes, and his own posts! That person turned out to be a student of a well-known domestic university, Kyoto University! Still the young master of Langu Group! Calculating the young master''s age, it seems that he has not yet graduated from university. But there are gossips that ''Master'' graduated earlier than other college students because he skipped grades in junior high school, high school and even college. So it¡¯s because he hasn¡¯t graduated yet that ¡®Master¡¯ didn¡¯t become a professional game player? Now, their "Ginger" goddess finally waited until "Master" graduated from college! Netizens are very clever. Within half a day, the drama of love between the ''Young Master'' and the goddess ''Ginger'' was ''fabricated'' by people. Someone even @''Young Master'' and ''Ginger'' on WB, asking, ''When are you two going to get married? '' ¡®It¡¯s hard to end this relationship without getting married~! '' Jiang Wei never thought that she and Gu Zerui could make a pair. She is self-aware. As netizens said, Gu Zerui can be called the "white moonlight" in her heart. That is a character she can only wait and see, not desecrate. But what Jiang Wei didn''t expect was that on the second day when netizens spontaneously formed a "marriage reminder team", hoping that they would be together, Jiang Wei saw Gu Zerui''s message below her post welcoming Gu Zerui into the professional gaming team. Another reply - Gu Zerui: ''Yeah, it''s hard to end without getting married. '' In the past, Gu Zerui thought that there was nothing more important than games in his world. But he and Jiang Wei have been together in the game for a few years since they met each other, and Gu Zerui has long been used to it every day. Chapter 597: very well matched Chapter 597 is a good match Gu Zerui may not fall in love with any girl in real life. But he will get to know a girl from the game, and then the companionship of this acquaintance allows him to gradually extend his feelings from the game to reality. He did not deny that he fell in love with Jiang Wei. That girl who is four years older than him! Gu Zerui doesn''t think there is anything wrong with girls meeting their ages. After all, the two closest people around him, his parents, are that his mother is more than two years older than his father. So he didn''t have the slightest hesitation in accepting Jiang Wei because of the age of the two parties. With Gu Zerui''s answer, Jiang Wei was shocked! She even wondered if Gu Zerui was following the wishes of the netizens, just joking? Jiang Wei''s doubts did not last long. When the news on the Internet was gradually fermenting in the e-sports circle, Jiang Wei received a call from Gu Zerui¡ª "What do you think of my proposal?" Gu Zerui was a little shy when he spoke, he was not sure if Jiang Wei would like to be with him. When Jiang Wei heard this sentence, she already understood what Gu Zerui meant. Although she likes Gu Zerui, as a girl, as a "goddess" in the e-sports circle, she still needs to be a little bit self-restraining. So she didn''t agree to Gu Zerui immediately, but pretended to be ignorant. "What proposal?" Jiang Wei asked. On the phone, Gu Zerui was stunned¡ª He thought to himself, didn''t Jiang Wei pay attention to the news on the Internet? Since this is the case, he had no choice but to explain himself. "That''s... I want to be your boyfriend, do you want to?" Gu Zerui was full of anticipation. When Jiang Wei heard this, a smile appeared on her face. "Okay~" she replied. She originally wanted to play some tricks with Gu Zerui before agreeing, but when she heard Gu Zerui''s words, "I want to be her boyfriend", Jiang Wei couldn''t stand it anymore! That''s why I immediately agreed. When Gu Zerui had a girlfriend, Xiaobai, who often followed the news of the e-sports circle, also saw his son''s confession to the **** the Internet. Xiaobai immediately told his wife about it¡ª Lan Shu heard that, and smiled gratifiedly, "Perhaps our family will have another happy event soon..." Lan Shu understands her son''s character, and her family Rurui is a straight man! The fact that he can confess on the public platform like this shows that he really likes that girl very much. And Rarity should also be sure of the girl agreeing to him, that''s why he is so daring! Lan Shu believes in her son''s judgment, so isn''t there a happy event in the family soon? Lan Shu''s guess was confirmed within a few days. Although Gu Zerui is young, he is a very responsible man. He is dating on the premise of getting married, so when he has a partner, of course he wants to bring it home to show his parents. So on the third day after Jiang Wei and her "White Moonlight" boy confirmed their relationship, they were taken to her boyfriend''s house to meet the elders. Before she left, Jiang Wei was still worried that she would be disliked by Gu Zerui''s parents because her family background was too low. Fortunately, neither Lan Shu nor Xiao Bai are the kind of parents who must pay attention to being well-matched. As long as their son''s girlfriend has a good personality and good character, then they have no problem. When Jiang Wei was in school, she was a famous department flower. She was beautiful, graceful, and very attractive. So when she came to Gu''s house as a guest, she quickly captured the hearts of Gu Zerui''s parents. Lan Shu is very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. Xiaobai is also very happy that his son''s girlfriend can understand his son''s focus on games because he is walking with him. Not long after Gu Zerui took his girlfriend to meet the parents, Jiang Wei also took him to her house. The relationship between the two has passed the test of time, and after the relationship is confirmed, the progress is rapid and natural. Only one summer passed, and when autumn came, the Gu family and the Jiang family had already discussed the marriage between their children. Lanshu and Xiaobai did not ask their son to get married immediately, but the Jiang family was a little anxious. After all, their daughter is four years older than Gu Zerui. Jiang Wei is not young anymore, in today''s general environment, she is considered an older leftover woman. Gu Zerui didn''t care about his girlfriend''s age, but the Jiang family wanted to marry their daughter quickly. So Lan Shu communicated with her son, and after confirming that her son had identified Jiang Wei, and had no objection to the marriage, and was quite happy, she began to discuss the marriage of the two children with Jiang''s parents. The result of the final discussion is to set the marriage within this year. The Gu family will not wrong the daughter of the Jiang family, and the bride price should be doubled, which makes the Jiang family''s parents speechless. September passed, and in October, Gu Zerui and Jiang Wei held their wedding in a star restaurant in Kyoto¡ª This wedding was not only a sensation in the upper circles of Kyoto, but also widely circulated in the e-sports circle! The goddess ''Ginger'' of their e-sports circle got married! Married to the ''Master'' of Langu Group¡ª Netizens originally thought that this was a rich second generation chasing an e-sports goddess, and the identities of the two parties did not match the marriage. Until the winter vacation, Gu Zerui played as a professional game player, and became famous in the e-sports circle with his superb operation skills! After knowing the strength of Young Master Gu, no one said that the goddess of e-sports surrendered to the money offensive of the rich second generation. The two are obviously a good match~! In the second year after their marriage, Gu Zerui and Jiang Wei had a child. And this year, it''s the 10th year! ¡­ It has been more than a year since Lan Xinya, a model lady, came to this world. This year, her life was very bad. Compared with the previous life, it is a world of difference! Lan Xinya didn''t know how to return to her world. She wanted Gu Cheng to help her think of a solution, but through many meetings with Gu Cheng, she recognized a reality¡ª It''s smooth sailing when you have money, but everything is difficult if you don''t have money. She has no money, not to mention saving Gu Cheng, even her own life is very difficult! Let the noble lady Lan Xinya go to the vulgar Lan Xinya''s clothing store business, just one word, it''s difficult! What''s more, Lan Xinya thought that she might go back soon, so she never thought about continuing to open the clothing store, so she cleared most of the clothes in the store. Later, for her own expenses, Lan Xinya sold off all the clothes in the clothing store! In the past year, Lan Xinya lived frugally, and only had to worry about food and drink in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, she was living on the five hundred yuan given by her son every month. The idiot son she despised before became her financial provider. Without Meng Dabao, Lan Xinya would not be able to survive long ago! Although she thought about doing business, what kind of business would she do as a lady? The reason why she was rich before was because her husband could make money. And she only needs to be a rich wife~! (end of this chapter) Chapter 598: vanished Lan Xinya''s seemingly endless difficult life is still going on. On the other side, Gu Cheng who is in the Yuncheng Mental Hospital, because he came into contact with Lan Xinya, and through his years of dreams, Gu Cheng''s consciousness gradually woke up. He is no longer confused about dreams and reality. Instead, he found that whether it was him in a dream or in reality, it was him. ¡ªTwo people in the same time and space with different experiences! Gu Cheng doesn''t know why this happened, he hopes that if he doesn''t exist now, it will be fine~! He, like Lan Xinya, does not agree with himself now. He wants to be the one who stands tall and has unlimited scenery! As Gu Cheng''s mental state stabilized, the doctor in the mental hospital stamped his medical certificate as good. No one thought that there would be a day when mental illness would be cured? Especially this patient named Gu Cheng, his mental illness was quite serious back then! But no matter what, when the person recovers, he should be released from the mental hospital. So a few days later, Gu Cheng returned to the prison. The dark and damp prison has worse conditions than the mental hospital! Gu Cheng only lived for half a month, and his legs and feet were swollen due to excessive humidity. At this time, he can only endure it by himself! When the pain was too severe, Gu Cheng would think of Lan Xinya, who came to visit him in the mental hospital before Chinese New Year last year. He clearly told the woman the channel where he put his money, but the other party has disappeared since then, and never visited him once! Gu Cheng felt that Lan Xinya must have swallowed his money without authorization! In vain, he would trust that woman! When he thought that that woman was his wife from another world, Gu Cheng felt disappointed and cast aside! When the relationship between Gu Cheng and Lan Xinya gradually broke down, and the last bit of fragile trust was completely over, the two of them had no possibility of returning to the original world... ¡­ Year 10, the beginning of the year. When the thick snow outside has not had time to melt, Lan Sibo''s house on Chang''an Street. Since his daughter died unexpectedly, Lan Sibo has never lived in this house again. It has been more than a year since he and his wife Yu Xia divorced. During this time, he bought a one-bedroom small house near the research institute where he worked in the suburbs of Beijing, and lived alone. In his spare time, Lan Sibo paid attention to Yu Xia''s situation. After having a child, Yu Xia basically stopped her career and concentrated on spending time with her daughter at home. Now that she has no child, Yu Xia started her career again after a few months of mourning. Lan Sibo can understand the feeling of working so hard and arranging his time to the full that only in this way can he have no time to think about sad things. And he used to stay in the laboratory of the research institute and the breeding farm for a whole day, and he thought the same way at that time. Lan Sibo thought this way, before he knew it, he was already standing in the home that once belonged to him and Yu Xia. It''s just that the warmth at home is no longer there, and instead, his mother lives here recently. Lan Sibo came today to see his wife. When he comes again next time, it should be the day when my mother will leave his house. ¡­ At this time, Chang Chunfang brought the nanny to live in Lan Sibo''s house before the new year. She didn''t want to live in this place at first, after all, she killed her own granddaughter with her own hands! Just thinking about this incident made Chang Chunfang feel uneasy, upset, and physically uncomfortable. But the youngest son said that there is no other place to live except here. Chang Chunfang could guess that after the youngest son moved out from home, he bought a one-bedroom house to avoid living under the same roof as him. Chang Chunfang was angry because of her youngest son''s thoughts, but she had no right to complain. Because she did something that seriously hurt her son! Lan Sibo walked into his yard, held the doorknob, and when he opened the door and walked into the house, only the nanny was watching TV in the living room downstairs. In broad daylight, Chang Chunfang did not go downstairs, but nestled on the bed in the room, sleeping under the quilt. During this time, it was probably because of the cold weather. Chang Chunfang felt lazy. She was listless and just wanted to sleep. After Lan Sibo learned about his mother''s recent situation with the nanny, he only left one sentence, "Take good care of her." Then went out and left the house. Because Chang Chunfang slept upstairs, she never had a chance to see her son. After she woke up, she heard the nanny tell her that her son came to visit her, and she only felt regret in her heart! Chang Chunfang could count on one hand the number of times she saw her youngest son in the past year or so. She knew that her son blamed her and would not forgive her. This was a knot in her heart. As long as she thought about it, she would feel uncomfortable in her heart, and her face could not be resolved. Chang Chunfang told herself that the next time she sees her son again, she must speak to her son carefully. But her idea still failed to come true after all. The day after Lan Sibo left, the nanny called and said that the old lady was gone... Chang Chunfang''s life was left in this snow-covered season. Her departure was not unexpected to the three brothers of the Lan family. The surprise was that she left too suddenly. She was fine the day before, able to eat and sleep. Not surprising, because their old lady is over seventy this year, which is considered a long life. Chang Chunfang was considered to be at the end of her life, and passed away peacefully. Her departure allowed the children who had complained and blamed her to let go of those negative emotions in an instant¡ª When she was alive, she did do some things that made her children unhappy and even blamed. But the person has already left, and everything should return to peace. ¡­ Chang Chunfang''s funeral was presided over by Lan Dazhuang. When she was alive, she didn''t want to go back to Tianshui Village for the last few years, but after she died, she still wanted to go back to that place that can be called her hometown. On the day Chang Chunfang was buried, the three brothers of the Lan family were all present, and Lan Shu, the adopted daughter, also came. By Lan Shu''s side, Xiao Bai was also with her. As for the younger generations, they have little to do with Chang Chunfang, so Lan Shu didn''t ask the children to be present. In the end, Chang Chunfang was buried on the side of Lan Shengli''s grave. When the two were alive, they loved each other when they were young, and stayed together in middle age, and they gradually diverged when they were old. But this does not affect the old couple is still a husband and wife. So Lan Dazhuang felt that his father would agree to bury his mother next to his father. ¡­ After Chang Chunfang''s funeral, Lan Shu did not leave Tianshui Village immediately. She took her three brothers and stood at the gate of the old house in the village to take a photo. As they get older, it is rare to get together anymore. Lan Shu wanted to use this photo to leave images of their brothers and sisters, and to leave a shared memory between them. Chapter 599: In 10 years, it has been thirty years since Lan Shu came to this world. As spring goes and summer comes, the days of the children gradually stabilize. Gu Qingning joined Langu Group, and in just one year, relying on her own ability, she went from a middle-level leader to a high-level person in power. Gu Qingning was able to rise to her current position, although she also relied on her parents'' cuteness, but her own ability is obvious to the senior management of the group. After she successfully gained a firm foothold, Lan Shu could finally retreat slowly. Lan Shu will be 50 years old in one year, and her goal is to officially retire at the age of 50! When Lan Shu was young, she was indeed a strong woman in the shopping mall, but as she grew older, she still hoped that her life in her later years could be a little different. As for whether I can achieve my wish, it depends on my daughter''s ability! Knowing her mother''s thoughts, Gu Qingning didn''t feel any pressure. Because she has confidence in herself! She will use the next year to completely take over the affairs of the group from her mother! Beside Gu Qingning, Qin Tianyi saw that his little wife was busy every day, and even spent much less time alone with him, which made Qin Tianyi a little jealous. Sometimes he even advised his little wife, "Don''t be too busy, don''t tire yourself out." But obviously, my little wife is exactly the same as my mother-in-law when she was young, and she is the kind of woman who concentrates on her career. This made Qin Tianyi feel that if he didn''t work hard, he might be looked down upon by his little wife~! So Qin Tianyi also put more energy on the family business. He wants to be a man who can match his little wife! Only in this way can he be qualified to stand beside his little wife! ¡­ This year, Xiao Qin, who has a pair of workaholic parents, celebrated his sixth birthday. Although Xiao Qin is a little older than before, his concept has not changed. I have to say that both Qin Tianyi and Gu Qingning have pretended very well regarding their family conditions. So in Xiao Qin''s eyes, his parents are two hard-working office workers. It is not easy for their family to have a place in a big city like Kyoto and a place to live! Even if they still live in the old community near the school... Xiao Qin''s dream has not changed, he wants to make money early to buy a big house, and take his parents out of poverty! So during weekends and holidays, Xiao Qin will still go to the homes of his grandparents and grandparents to report on time. The six-year-old Xiao Qin can do more work than before, so he, the only child of the Qin family, can vigorously gather up the wool of his grandparents'' family, and then turn around to subsidize his parents. Xiao Qin''s hard work really moved Gu Qingning and Qin Tianyi, neither of them thought that they would be raised by such a young son... Looking at his son''s uplifting look, and his rare enthusiasm for making money, parents must of course fulfill their children''s filial piety. So the wealthy couple reached a consensus that they would continue to hide the fact that their son''s family was not poor. Xiao Qin, keep working hard~! ¡­ The same year, June. Gu Zerui''s status changed, and he officially became a father. Gu Zerui is only 21 years old this year. When he got married last year, he didn''t move out from home because of the rush of the wedding. On the way, when Jiang Wei became pregnant, Lan Shu vacated the house at No. 99 Chang''an Avenue and settled it for her son and daughter-in-law. As for the original wedding dress design studio in house No. 99, it has long been moved to a larger venue because of its large business. Although this house is an old house decades ago, it is well maintained and repaired every year, so the house looks like it only adds to its sense of age, and does not have a dilapidated appearance. What''s more, in the boundary of Kyoto, the price of such a three-story building with a garden is quite high! Jiang Wei is too happy that her in-laws can give this house to their young couple! In the hospital, Jiang Wei gave birth to a daughter for the Gu family. Lan Shu has no patriarchal idea. While Xiaobai even has some slight and unobvious patriarchy. This can be seen from his attitude towards his daughter and son when they were young. Xiaobai used to worry about his daughter more than his son. So after having a granddaughter, the smile on Xiaobai''s face never stopped. After staying in the hospital for three days, Jiang Wei was discharged and returned to the villa. Lan Shu doesn''t need to worry about the rest of taking care of the confinement child. Gu Zerui, who became a father, seems to have matured overnight! He is very devoted to his wife and daughter. Even if there was a confinement lady, Gu Zerui was not idle. When the confinement sister-in-law was making confinement meals for Jiang Wei, Gu Zerui did all of her daughter''s cuddling and diaper changing. After taking care of the child for half a month, one night, Gu Zerui suddenly found time to run home. Seeing Lan Shu, Gu Zerui, who had already grown into a young man, suddenly rushed towards his mother, hugged her and did not let go¡ª "Mom, did you take care of me like that when I was young? It was really hard work!" After becoming a father himself, Gu Zerui truly realized the difficulty of being a parent. He found it difficult to bring up a child in just half a month, not to mention that his parents raised him until he was a child. The sacrifices involved are beyond calculation! Lan Shu knew what her son was thinking at the moment. She remembered that after her daughter got married and had a child, she hugged her like this and told her gratitude to her parents. Lan Shu is of course happy that the child has grown up and is sensible. But there is one thing, my son may have made a mistake... Lan Shu patted his son on the back, and was released by Gu Zerui. Looking at her son, Lan Shu smiled and said, "Actually, when you were young, your father was always taking care of you, and your mother... was busy." Indeed, at that time the group was in a stage of rapid development, and Lan Shu was busy with things every day. So Xiaobai appropriately reduced his workload and spent more time at home. When Rarui was young, besides the babysitter, Xiaobai took care of her more, but Lan Shu, the mother, paid less for her son. Knowing this fact, Gu Zerui didn''t feel any less moved by it. Even though my father took care of me a lot when I was a child, my mother has kindness to him for giving birth! Gu Zerui will always remember this point in his heart! This night, Gu Zerui didn''t stay at home for too long, and his wife Jiang Wei still needed someone to take care of her. Before he went back, Xiaobai came back from the outside. Seeing that his son did not take care of his own wife, but came home to look for his wife, Xiao Bai couldn''t help admonishing his son a little. "Ruirui, go back and take good care of your wife. Now that you have a family, you should take care of your own family in the future." Gu Zerui is his own son, of course he knows what his father means. Isn¡¯t it just that he dislikes his son¡¯s influence on their two-person world at home~! Gu Zerui knew about it, but he was determined not to change it! Chapter 600: every year Gu Zerui''s daughter is named Gu Xuan. Because Gu Xuan was still young and couldn''t live without her mother, Jiang Wei had no choice but to withdraw from the circle of professional game players temporarily. But she didn''t leave the entire e-sports circle because of this. In the past two years, game commentary has gradually emerged. Jiang Wei has become a game commentary anchor while raising children. Because she is a retired professional player, so the commentary hits the nail on the head, and the style is quite unique. In addition, Jiang Wei originally had many fans in the e-sports circle because of her status as a professional player, so her transformation path was quite successful! While Gu Zerui and Jiang Wei were leading their babies to live their happy little days, Gu Qingning was officially taking over the position of chairman of Langu Group. Lan Shu originally planned to retire at the age of fifty, but her daughter Gu Qingning really did it for her! And let her start her retirement life ahead of schedule. ¡­ October, the day of national celebration, Lan Shu unburdened herself and began to retire completely! She plans to go to the beach for vacation, get up early to catch the sea, enjoy the sea breeze during the day, and eat the seafood she picked up with her own hands at night. Xiaobai learned about his wife''s thoughts, of course he wants to travel together. It''s just that the only time Xiaobai can rest is during the holidays. In recent years, although he has handed over the game development and team club affairs to special personnel, he is still continuing the medical research work. As a professor of medicine, Xiaobai''s knowledge of pharmacology is also increasing as he grows older. Even some of the experiences he wrote down were regarded by the students as masterpieces in the field of medicine! So even though he wanted to retire, countless seniors and juniors dragged him from retiring. His continued work will be a great contribution to the field of medicine! Therefore, Xiaobai failed to achieve his wish to retire with his wife and spend their old age together. Fortunately, his wife was not angry because of this, so he made more contributions to the medical industry as much as he could. ¡­ This holiday, Lan Shu had a great time. She really feels like she has nothing to do. After she stopped thinking about work, Lan Shu saw that everything was beautiful. She and Xiaobai stayed by the seaside for a week. In addition to vacationing, they also bought a sea view house in a small seaside town. In this way, she can live by the sea for a while at any time in the future. After returning to Kyoto, Lan Shu lived a leisurely life for a few days, and then began to travel around Kyoto. Although Lan Shu has been in Kyoto for nearly 30 years, due to busy work, she hasn''t visited the tourist attractions around Kyoto until now. Now that she is free, she can take a walk and see more. Originally, Xiaobai wanted to be with his wife, but due to work matters, he temporarily put it on hold. So Lan Shu called Tang Chu, who had retired the year before last, together, and the two walked around to have a look and relax. Today''s life in the early Tang Dynasty is quite smooth. Chang Chunfang is gone, she doesn''t have to face the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The son got married and gave birth to a child, which gave her a granddaughter. She does not require her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to be by her side. So as a mother-in-law, she doesn''t have to face the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and usually only needs to take care of herself. Lan Dazhuang still comes to Kyoto every month to accompany his wife. It''s a pity that his son has devoted himself to the road of music, so he is in his fifties and still has a career, and he doesn''t even have a successor. Sometimes Lan Dazhuang would be envious of his little sister, his niece Gu Qingning''s ability, so that parents don''t know how much less worry they can have. It''s a pity, he is not that lucky to have a child like Xiao Qingning. Sometimes Lan Dazhuang is still thinking, if his son doesn''t take over his business, who should he hand it over to? Lan Dazhuang talked about his ideas with his younger sister, and Lan Shu''s advice was to let his elder brother find a professional manager. It''s just that without an heir, the future business will definitely go into decline sooner or later. This is obvious. Although Lan Dazhuang had known this for a long time, but his younger sister really pointed it out to the point, he still couldn''t bear the business that he started from scratch to decline one day. Seeing the gloomy look of the eldest brother, Lan Shu gave him another idea. If his elder brother''s current business is completely transferred out, it will be no problem to sell it for one or two hundred million. Get the money and spend your old age in peace. Or the eldest brother can also bring the business into the Blue Gu Group, and then the group will have a special person to take over, and the eldest brother holds some shares in his hand, just waiting for the annual dividends. As long as the group does not fail, her elder brother will always have a steady stream of money flowing into the account. Of these two choices, Lan Dazhuang naturally chose the second one. Actually, with the current scale of Langu Group, there is absolutely no need to acquire Lan Dazhuang''s business. Free-range chicken farms and orchards need to be managed by special people, which means that fruit processing factories can be absorbed and expanded. But because Lan Dazhuang was Gu Qingning''s uncle, Gu Qingning also took over the business from his uncle out of the selfishness of taking care of his uncle for the sake of his relatives. During the period after that, Gu Qingning became even busier with work in the group¡ª ¡­ One year later, Langu Group decided to go public under the discussion of chairman Gu Qingning and all senior management! In the same year, Lan Juncheng, who was far abroad, won an international award and became a world-class pianist in one fell swoop! This year, Lan Xiuming''s son, Lan Haoran, also graduated successfully and joined the Langu Group managed by his cousin. In Kyoto, Meng Dabao was highly regarded by the foreman of the engineering team because of his solid work. He was promoted from an ordinary worker on the construction site to a small team leader, and he was in charge of more than a dozen people. Another year, Langu Group is organized under the management of Gu Qingning. Lan Juncheng received good news that his wife Qiao Qian was pregnant again, and they will have a second child soon. Lan Haoran was in the Langu Group, relying on his own ability and solid contacts, he became the team leader of the department. Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan started planning to replace their old house with a new one. ¡­ Time flies, and two years have passed. This year is the 15th year, and Gu Qingning is already thirty-three years old. Among her cousins ??and younger brothers, Lan Juncheng is thirty-two, and Lan Haoran is twenty-six. 24-year-old Gu Zerui is preparing to retire on the road of professional game player. Next, the career plan he made for himself was to join the Langu Group and take over the game development business. The sons always have to inherit some of the ¡®world¡¯ established by their parents. Gu Zerui is very clear about his abilities. His sister is in charge of the general direction of the group''s affairs. What he can do is to develop in the game field he is familiar with. Lan Shu is very happy that her son has such a career-mindedness. Seeing that her younger brother was willing to join the group, Gu Qingning finally took a different look at her ''disappointed'' younger brother. The group she inherited is too big, and it would be best if her brothers could come to help. Leave a preview, it will be over in about a day or two, and I will write a few extra episodes later. Chapter 601: end Gu Zerui officially retired during the summer vacation of 2016. He has been in the e-sports circle for six years and has achieved many legendary feats! When announcing his retirement, many gamers burst into tears. But professional players only had those glorious years, and sooner or later they will retire. In the future, there will be generations of young e-sports players emerging to achieve their glory¡ª ¡­ In the summer of 2016, Gu Zerui joined the game department of Langu Group. As a middle-level leader who relies on relationships to ''airborne'', not many people have any objections to his entry. Because this is not an ordinary relationship. After all, he is the prince of the Langu Group. If he comes to work in the company, it is not called airborne, but inherits the family business! Originally, some middle and high-level leaders of the group had some conspiracy theories about Gu Zerui''s entry into the company, thinking that he would be a male in the future, which might affect the status of the current chairman, Gu Qingning. It''s a pity that not many people understand the relationship between Gu Qingning and Gu Zerui''s siblings. And the previous chairman, Lan Shu, didn''t care about the fact that his son was the heir. In her eyes, those who are capable live, and whoever is more capable, daughter or son, will inherit the group! So the fear of some people in the leadership of the group will never happen¡ª ¡­ After Gu Zerui joined the game department, it only took him half a year to use his professional ability to win the trust of the department employees. Gu Zerui studied computer science during his university years. He has always had good academic performance and can get scholarships every year. So with my own professional foundation, I turned to the direction of game design and development, and I quickly got started. When he entered the game department for a year, the new mobile game he designed had already entered the testing stage! This year, apart from the children of the Gu family, a major event also happened in the Meng family. Meng Dabao and Zhou Lan, who originally planned to change to a bigger house, have not been able to achieve their wish because of the rising housing prices. Just when the two felt that there was no hope for them to change houses, a news came suddenly that their old house had been demolished! Although their house is not big, it is also a small two-story building. If such a house is demolished, at least it can be replaced with a big house and more than one million in compensation! In this way, Meng Dabao is lucky to be a fool, and he finally got rid of poverty by demolition! Although the money will not make him quite rich, he is finally not short of money to spend. In the future, his son will also have better learning conditions. ¡­ Life continued like this. Two years later, Lan Juncheng and his wife returned from abroad. In the winter of this year, affected by the epidemic at home and abroad, people stayed at home, and there was a huge shortage of food and medicine. The epidemic spread, and Kyoto was also affected. Langu Group donated a lot of money and materials in the early stage of the virus spread. The ??Group even set up a company to produce protective equipment urgently to do its part in the epidemic. As an expert in medicine, Xiaobai didn''t go home once in those few months, almost living in the laboratory. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he has achieved gratifying results in the research of epidemic drugs. In this epidemic, Lan Weicheng and Xu Shan were unfortunately recruited. They are almost eighty years old and their physical resistance is limited. Xu Shan''s situation was relatively bad, and she couldn''t make it through in the end. Even if Lan Weicheng survived in the end, his physical fitness was not as good as before. In the second year of the epidemic, he completely left because of a small cold. Among Lanshu and Xiaobai''s parents and elders, Wei Qiushuang is the only one left. Wei Qiushuang''s health is good. When the epidemic broke out, he was not affected because of better protection. After the epidemic passed, Lan Juncheng did not plan to go abroad for a short time. He and his wife Josie settled down in Kyoto with their daughter. ¡­ During this epidemic, Yuncheng Prison must have been affected. Gu Cheng, who was serving his sentence in prison, was tortured by the virus for more than 20 days. In the end, due to medical conditions and his physical fitness, he failed to survive the virus. Lan Xinya in Kyoto also experienced isolation. In the second year of the epidemic, Lan Shu accidentally learned the news of Lan Xinya''s death from Meng Dabao. No one thought that Lan Xinya survived the epidemic, but she failed to survive poverty. After she pestered Meng Dabao and his wife to no avail, Lan Xinya suffered from severe hypotension due to long-term eating of unnutritious food, and she never woke up from a coma. Those who have survived an epidemic will cherish the time in the future. After the epidemic, Xiaobai finally ended his work and announced his retirement. In the future, he will spend it with his wife. Although there is not much left in their lives, but they spend together, every day, there can be memories worthy of the two of them¡ª ¡­ ¡¾End¡¿ PS: Next is the extra episode. Chapter 602: Spoiler: Gu Jue Chapter 602 Extra: Gu Jue Gu Jue was born in a relatively wealthy family in Kyoto. From a young age, he knew that he was the object of attention of many people in the compound. At that time, he vaguely felt that because of the relationship between his parents and grandfather, many adults taught their children to please themselves. So Gu Jue didn''t have any real friends in the compound. From childhood to adulthood, Gu Jue has always had smooth sailing. Except for his grandfather being stricter with him, he can be said to do as he pleases the rest of the time. But in the summer when he was sixteen, he went to the county town to visit his grandmother, and was assassinated on the way back! He was knocked out of the head and fell into the river¡ª The moment he fell into the water, Gu Jue thought that his life was about to end. But even he himself didn''t expect that he was washed along the river to the bank of a small village. He was rescued by a kind-hearted family named Lan. When Gu Jue was drowning and unconscious, he faintly heard someone say that they brought him back because they wanted him to be the son-in-law of his younger sister. Fortunately, this matter is just talking, and the fat sister of the Lan family did not agree. Gu Jue lost his past memories because of falling into the water. He doesn''t remember who he is or where he came from. Fortunately, the eldest brother and the fat sister of the Lan family are very kind to me, and the uncle and aunt of the Lan family are also willing to take me in. The fat sister also named him Xiaobai. It means a blank life, everything starts again. Gu Jue lived in Lan''s house for a month. On weekdays, he would help the family with some work within his capacity, and even learn how to cook from the fat sister. In the family, he spends the most time with his fat sister, so he saw with his own eyes that her fat sister lost a lot of weight in just one month from being a big fat man like a steamed bun! The fat sister has lost weight, and she can already see the outline of a beautiful girl. A fat sister like this doesn''t need to find a door-to-door son-in-law, she can easily marry herself. Suddenly one day, the old lady of the Xu family in the village came to Lan''s house to make trouble, and Gu Jue found out that the fat sister had already married, and she returned to the village because she divorced the Xu family''s son. Gu Jue didn''t have a different opinion of Fat Sister just because she was married. Fat sister is very good, she has a kind heart and can cook a lot of delicious meals. Whoever can marry her is lucky! Not long after driving away the old lady of the Xu family, the fat sister said that she was going to the county town. This decision made Uncle Lan and Big Brother Lan feel uneasy, so Gu Jue said that he would go to the county town with Fat Sister. Before going to the county seat, the fat sister was no longer fat due to weight loss, so from then on, Gu Jue silently changed his name for the fat sister. From now on, she should be called Sister Lan. Gu Jue and Sister Lan have done a lot of great things in the county town that he didn''t even dare to think about at first! They went to night school together and took the diploma test. Sister Lan also cooperated with a toilet paper factory to promote the transformation of the toilet paper factory and make sanitary napkins for women. The factory is making money every month, and the invested funds are quickly returned. Gu Jue can''t do much for Sister Lan. After getting a diploma, he learned the maintenance of machines imported from abroad. During that time, Gu Jue was really happy. The feeling that he has to struggle step by step to achieve success, let him realize what achievement is! It''s a pity that he and Sister Lan didn''t stay together for too long. Once by chance, someone recognized him. Soon, Gu Jue met an elegant and intellectual middle-aged woman who claimed to be his mother. Gu Jue finally knows who he is! But when he thought of breaking up with Sister Lan, he couldn''t bear it. But in the end he still left with his mother, because he had an appointment with Sister Lan, and they would meet in Kyoto during the Chinese New Year. After returning to Kyoto, Gu Jue thought of Sister Lan every day. He would think, what is Sister Lan doing today? How''s business at the toilet paper mill? Gu Jue seldom calls Sister Lan, because he knows that Sister Lan is very busy at work, and he is worried about disturbing Sister Lan. Besides, phone bills were not cheap at that time, and Sister Lan needed to spend money to answer the phone, so making fewer calls would also save Sister Lan some money. Gu Jue counted the days of the New Year, waiting to see Sister Lan again. When I called Sister Lan once, I heard Sister Lan said that the toilet paper factory needed investment, and Gu Jue gave all his money to Sister Lan without hesitation! Gu Jue was very happy to be able to help Sister Lan. After he invested in the toilet paper factory, he was finally able to talk to Sister Lan on the phone in a legitimate way~! Relying on the phone, Gu Jue found out that sister Lan not only runs a toilet paper factory, but also runs a clothing factory! When Gu Jue left Qingyang County, the garment factory was just a small garment workshop. I didn''t expect Sister Lan to be so capable in business! He somewhat regretted not being by Sister Lan''s side, not witnessing Sister Lan''s step-by-step success. And he can''t be idle in the capital, he has to study hard, just like Sister Lan said, he has to move towards his goal! Gu Jue''s goal is to enter Peking University School of Medicine, learn medical knowledge, and become a useful person to the country in the future! Time passed quickly in his reading. Finally, the Chinese New Year is coming! Sister Lan came to Kyoto. In addition to having some business in Kyoto, Sister Lan is actually from Kyoto! After listening to Sister Lan''s explanation, Gu Jue realized that Lan Weicheng from the Lan family in Kyoto and Lan Shengli from the Lan family in Tianshui Village were related. When Sister Lan was born, two couples from the Lan family in Kyoto gave birth to a child in Qingyang County. Because they both had the surname Lan, the two children were accidentally picked up by the nurse. So Sister Lan¡¯s biological parents are in Kyoto, her home is in Kyoto, and she will come to Kyoto often in the future! Later, Sister Lan did come to Kyoto more and more because of business. And Gu Jue also went to Peking University School of Medicine to study medicine. During that time, whenever Sister Lan came to Kyoto, she would come to see him at school. Sister Lan also cooks some of his favorite dishes, wraps them in a towel, and sends them to school for him to eat! Every time Sister Lan came, the seniors and sisters in the lab would joke and say, ¡®Your girlfriend is here. '' It was also at that time that Gu Jue discovered that his feelings for Sister Lan had unconsciously turned into liking! Gu Jue didn''t explain to his seniors, didn''t tell them that Sister Lan was not his girlfriend, he mustered up the courage to confess his love to Sister Lan, and told Sister Lan that he liked her! Unfortunately, he was rejected by Sister Lan. Sister Lan said that he is still young and doesn''t know what liking is, and when he grows up, he won''t say such things again. But Gu Jue thinks that even if he is a few years older, this love will never change! It doesn''t matter if Sister Lan doesn''t agree, he will use time to prove that his liking is well thought out, not just a momentary illusion that Sister Lan thinks! In school, apart from studying, Gu Jue had dreams almost every night for a period of time. Dream about those memories lost in his head. From childhood to adulthood, everything I personally experienced was revealed by dreams. Gu Jue originally thought that in this way, after he understood all his childhood experiences through dreams, he would be able to regain his memory. But until his dream continued to develop, there appeared another memory that should not belong to his current self! In his memory, after he was murdered and fell into the water in Qingyang County, he was not picked up by the Lan family, nor did he meet Sister Lan. In his amnesia, his life was difficult, he had done various jobs, and his hands were rotten from the cold in the cold winter. After three years of exile, he slowly regained his memory and found his own home. After returning home, because of some things, he suspected that someone killed him on purpose. After investigation, he found his brother! Gu Jue has a half-brother. The older brother is Gu Cheng, the son of his father''s first wife. Because there is a big age difference between Gu Jue and his elder brother, even though they are brothers, they don''t really spend much time together. In my impression, the relationship between my brother and him is not very good, but it is not bad either. Gu Jue never thought that his brother would kill him! I can¡¯t figure out why my brother did this? In the dream, the self who came back from suffering was young and energetic, and when he was impulsive, whoever wanted to harm him would of course demand that the other party pay the price! So he started to confront his brother Gu Cheng **** for tat! Gu Cheng is in business, so he is also in business, trying to take away Gu Cheng''s business, and let Gu Cheng suffer a crushing defeat! But Gu Jue didn''t realize that he didn''t have the talent for doing business. He is not his brother''s opponent, he is the one who suffers the ultimate defeat, and even his parents, grandpa, and grandma are trampled under his feet by his brother Gu Cheng! The memories in these dreams are very clear and realistic, making it hard for Gu Jue not to take them seriously! So he investigated according to the memory in the dream, and found that it was really just like in his dream. His murder was not accidental, but premeditated! Behind all of this is his older brother Gu Cheng! After finding out about these things, Gu Jue didn''t tell anyone about it. He knows how big the gap is between himself and Gu Cheng, and he will no longer act recklessly and recklessly against Gu Cheng like in the dream! He continued to secretly investigate and collect evidence, this time he wanted to send Gu Cheng to prison! During this process, Gu Jue did not delay the important events in his life. Although his confession to Sister Lan was rejected, Sister Lan agreed to be with him under her own offensive. They fell in love with each other, and after Gu Jue became an adult, they got married soon and gave birth to a beautiful daughter. When his daughter was a few months old, Gu Jue had almost collected clues about Gu Cheng''s harm to him. So he began to collect the net. No accident happened this time, and he finally sent Gu Cheng to prison as he wished! After many years, Gu Jue and Lan Shu lived happily together. As their daughter gradually grew up, Lan Shu''s business also developed from a small factory in the county to the establishment of a group in Kyoto! Gu Jue has always known that Lan Shu is a genius in business, even more talented than Gu Cheng! But he found that he was still thinking too conservatively¡ª Lan Shu barely spent a few years, relying on her business ability to develop and grow the group, and finally she became the richest man in the country! Gu Jue discovered at this time that although he failed to become the son-in-law of the Lan family back then, the result was still the same. He is destined to be inferior to his own wife in this life. So he put more energy on medical research, becoming the youngest associate professor of medicine, and then a professor. Gu Jue hopes that he must have some ability to be worthy of standing beside his wife. A few years later, Gu Jue had another son. Many years later, the son grew up, the daughter married, and he had a grandson. The grandson is very cute, but also very stubborn. The stubborn part should be following him, but the cute direction must be following his wife. Besides, the grandson''s way of thinking about making money is simply hereditary! Gu Jue is very optimistic about his grandson, and he will definitely become a qualified heir in the family in the future. When Gu Jue thought about these things and the future of his family, he found that he had changed from a youthful youth to a middle-aged and elderly man in his forties or fifties. When he looked in the mirror and saw white hair growing on his temples, Gu Jue realized that he was no longer young... Gu Jue doesn''t know how many years he can live, but in this life, he can have a lover by his side, which makes him feel that life has no regrets. Another year followed, and this year, serious epidemics broke out at home and abroad! As a medical expert, Gu Jue must step forward at this time! Because he was worried that he would infect his family members in close contact with the virus, he did not go home during those months. It was very tiring when researching drugs based on virus changes in the epidemic area. At that time, Gu Jue once again clearly felt that his physical condition had entered old age. During that time, he gritted his teeth and survived. Finally, the drug for the disease was developed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Gu Jue had only one thought in his mind, he did not die from the epidemic, and he could finally see his wife again alive¡ª Gu Jue loves his daughter-in-law very much. The fat sister who is willing to take him in, does not dislike his amnesia, and patiently teaches him many things. The blue sister who guided him to study hard and encouraged him to stick to his dreams. The daughter-in-law who is willing to marry him, bear children for him, and teach the two children to grow up. The last one is the partner who will accompany him all his life and stay with him until he grows old. Looking back on this life, Gu Jue has no regrets. He has only one wish, that he hopes to live longer than his daughter-in-law, even if it is just one day. He wanted to send his daughter-in-law away instead of leaving her sad after he left. Gu Jue hopes that at the end of his life, he can achieve his wish. Hope this life ends, and he can meet his daughter-in-law in the next life. Gu Jue never believed in those god-given things, but at the end of his life, he began to look forward to the afterlife... (end of this chapter)
