Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Love, Go Away!

Lin Anran bought a bottle of soda for everyone, and the three of them drank while walking on the street like many other people.

"You two only said that you can make money working in an electronics factory, but you haven't told me what the environment in your factory is like, and how are the accommodation and cafeteria?" Lin Anran didn't mention studying, and as expected, he didn't mention it again. He asked about the twins' work with concern.

Lin Anhua gave a vivid explanation: "Living in a factory dormitory is just like living in a school dormitory."

Lin Anli disagreed, shaking her head vigorously. She said, "Factory dormitories are much better than school dormitories, but with so many workers sharing one dorm, conflicts can easily arise."

Lin Anran was curious: "So how many people live in your dormitory?"

"Thirty-two people."

"That's a lot." Lin Anran quickly drank some soda to calm herself down. Fortunately, she didn't go to work in a factory, otherwise living in a dormitory with thirty-one other people would be something she couldn't even imagine.

"What about food?" Lin Anran asked, but he guessed that the food in the factory cafeteria must not be very good.

Lin Anhua was filled with resentment: "It's all vegetarian, not very oily. If you want meat, you have to buy it yourself. But at least I can eat my fill every meal."

Lin Anli had a look of "getting used to it" on her face: "It's just like the communal meals at school, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can make some money and have enough to eat, that's good enough."

Lin Anran thought about how her meals included both meat and vegetables, soup, and desserts, all prepared by a great chef. She felt so lucky. After traveling through time, she had never had a bad appetite, and she was grateful to Boss Zhou.

"Sister, as a nanny, do you eat the boss's leftovers?" The twins looked at Lin Anran eagerly.

Lin Anran shook his head: "No, we have special staff meals."

Zhou Heyuan never lets others eat his leftovers, and there are rarely leftovers on his table. He doesn't waste food, and he has always adhered to this principle. She has observed that Zhou Yunxue also has this habit.

Chef Zhao prepares every meal according to Zhou Heyuan's appetite. Even if it exceeds, it will not be too much. Maybe because he has experienced famine, Chef Zhao hates wasting food, so he can control how to reduce food waste very well. These will not affect the precise performance of his cooking skills.

Lin Anran gave a big thumbs up to the boss and Chef Zhao. They don’t have to eat leftovers and can eat fresh food every day. Please keep it up.

"Special meals for employees? Is there meat?" Lin Anhua was very curious.

"Yes." Lin Anran picked out the dishes for every meal he ate, leaving Lin Anhua and Lin Anli stunned and swallowing hard.

Lin Anli said enviously, "Sister, you eat this every day? It's as good as what our boss eats."

Lin Anran noticed something was wrong and raised an eyebrow and asked, "How do you know what your boss eats?"

"People in our dormitory said that there was a girl older than me who followed the workshop director and the boss to a big restaurant for dinner. When she came back, she showed off the dishes she had eaten to everyone, and everyone in our dormitory knew about it." Lin Anli explained.

"Your boss wants you female employees to accompany him for meals? Is this the rule of your factory?" Lin Anran's expression was slightly cold. Is this an electronics factory, or a pimp?

Lin Anli had a strange expression on her face. "It's not a factory rule. The workshop director invited a few girls to dinner, but only one girl went. She wasn't getting paid, but she was willing to go. Could it be that she wanted to have a nice meal at a fancy restaurant?"

Lin Anhua: "Why doesn't the workshop director invite us boys to eat? It's a free meal, it would be a waste not to eat it."

Lin Anli reached out and patted Lin Anhua: "Why are you only thinking about eating? Is this a free meal?"

Lin Anhua scratched his head: "Isn't it?"

Lin Anran watched the twins playing and fighting, raised her hand to support her forehead, and her eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them from time to time. Lin Anli was at least alert enough, but Lin Anhua was a fool... Well, with Lin Anli watching over him, Lin Anhua was fine. He was a boy and had some brains, so it was not a big problem. If the twins' situations were reversed, she would definitely have a bigger headache.

However, the twins were still too naive and had not seen the diversity of humankind and the many temptations society has to offer.

"Sister, do you think this way of eating is right? Why do I always feel like something is wrong?" Lin Anli asked her reliable sister.

Lin Anran looked at her with relief. "If you encounter this situation, stay away. Even if your factory has such a rule, it's wrong. No, if the electronics factory you work for has such a rule, you should resign immediately. There are many factories in Shenzhen. If you leave this electronics factory, there are always other electronics factories. If your boss asks you to go, just refuse directly. Don't be afraid."

As for the electronics factory boss liking female employees to have dinner with him? If it's consensual, she can't do anything about it; this kind of thing is all too common.

Lin Anli pondered, "Those girls who refused to eat with the boss are still diligently clocking in and getting paid every day. They're fine."

"I have a question."

Lin Anhua raised his hand.

Lin Anran and Lin Anli turned their heads to look at him and heard him say, "We've been standing at the door of this clothing store, and the staff have been looking at us for a long time. So, should we go in and buy some clothes?"

Lin Anran and Lin Anli looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and turned around to find that the employees in the clothing store were indeed staring at them. When they saw them looking at them, they gave them a warm and appropriate smile, as if welcoming them.

Lin Anran decisively stepped forward and said, "Come in. The clothes in this store look nice, and the service should be good."

When several employees of the clothing store saw Lin Anran and the other two come in, they immediately showed even more enthusiastic smiles: "Welcome, please feel free to look around. There are fitting rooms in the store where you can try on clothes so that you can choose clothes that fit you better."

There were so many beautiful clothes that Lin Anli couldn't take in all of them. She leaned over to Lin Anran's ear and whispered, "Sister, the waiters in Shenzhen are completely different from those arrogant waiters in our county department store!"

Lin Anran's eyes lit up when she saw a beautiful dress. She put it on and tried it out, not forgetting to reply, "The waiters at the county department store have stable jobs, but the employees at this clothing store don't. This is an individual shop. Shenzhen has many clothing stores, so the competition is fierce, and there are plenty of beautiful clothes. If the service here is poor, we can go out and buy from somewhere else."

Lin Anran took out another skirt and gestured at Lin Anli: "This one is bright in color and suits you well. Do you want to try it on?"

"I want it!" Lin Anli knocked her head and was pushed into the fitting room by Lin Anran.

Lin Anran signaled Lin Anhua to come closer: "Try this shirt."

Lin Anhua held the shirt in both hands, at a loss, and refused to accept it: "Sister, I don't need to buy new clothes, I have enough clothes to wear."

"Cut the crap. You buy it for me, and I buy it for you. Let's go our separate ways." How could Lin Anran just accept things? She had money, so she could give things to the twins.

Lin Anhua chuckled and said contentedly, "Then I'll go try it on."

"Go ahead." Lin Anran waved her hand with amusement, and then she continued to pick out clothes and looked at the price tags. In her opinion, this store was relatively affordable, but for the twins, the price would make them feel painful for a long time.

Sure enough, the twins who were trying on clothes liked the ones Lin Anran had chosen for them, but when they saw the prices, they immediately wanted to change their clothes. Lin Anran firmly stopped them, saying, "Just buy one. The clothes in this store are of good quality and can be worn for a long time. Besides, you've worked so hard for a month and even worked overtime every day. Buying you a new piece of clothing is my reward for you."

Who doesn't love beautiful new clothes? Lin Anli and Lin Anhua are no exception, especially since they grew up with hand-me-downs from older siblings. In the past 18 years, they can only remember wearing new clothes rarely. Once they have a new piece of clothing, they can show it off all year long.

Lin Anli looked at the price tag again and said hesitantly, "So, are you really buying it?"

Lin Anran smiled gently but firmly: "I paid for it, I have the final say. Anyway, I bought it, and if you don't wear it, it's a waste of my kindness."

Lin Anhua kept saying, "Buy, buy, buy, sister, I'll buy you this skirt."

Lin Anran paid for a skirt and a shirt, and then she got two skirts from the twins.

Lin Anran: "..." She actually makes more money in this business?

It's time to use her real bargaining skills.

The twins were stunned when they saw Lin Anran’s heroic bargaining. They rubbed their eyes in unison, unsure. Then they looked again and saw that it was really their sister Lin Anran who was bargaining!

"I bought four pieces together, and after the discount, they saved me fifty yuan! If I calculate it separately, each piece is not that expensive, it's such a bargain!" Lin Anli excitedly hugged the paper bag containing the skirts.

Lin Anhua completely admired his sister: "Sister, how are you so good at bargaining? Teach me."

Lin Anli was delighted and looked at Lin Anran with great emotion: "Sis, when did you learn to bargain? I always helped you bargain before."

The original owner had never been good at bargaining before. He always paid whatever the boss said and was very quick to pay. He was the seller's favorite buyer, but Lin Anran was not like that. He smiled and said, "I learned it after trying it the first and second time. Start by haggling down the price in half, then raise the price with the boss. How much you can bargain for depends on your ability. The main thing is to be brave and have a good tongue. First of all, don't act like you absolutely must have this dress. No matter how much you like it, you have to be patient..."

Lin Anhua began taking notes, and Lin Anli said she had learned something: "It seems I didn't bargain hard enough before. Sister, can I get a profit even if I cut the price in half?"

Lin Anran: "Look at their purchase cost price. If the boss has channels and buys in large quantities, their cost will definitely be lower, and clothing will be very profitable."

"So sister, even though you bargained so much, the boss still made money. I learned from it and will try it next time." Lin Anli knows how to grasp the key points.

"Hey! Lin Anli!" Suddenly, someone shouted from behind.

Lin Anran and the other two turned around and saw several trendy young men and women. The man in the lead looked at Lin Anli with surprise and enthusiasm. "Lin Anli, we're going to the dance hall to dance disco. Come with us. It's fun and you'll definitely like it."

"Who?" Lin Anran patted Lin Anli's shoulder.

Lin Anli: "Worker, I forgot his name, Anhua?"

Lin Anhua: "His name is Chen Guangzong."

"No, you guys go have fun." Lin Anli refused. She and Chen Guangzong had only met a few times in the factory and had no other interactions.

Chen Guangzong reluctantly led the group of people behind him away. After walking a long way, he turned back and looked at Lin Anli eagerly.

Lin Anran lowered her head slightly and looked at Lin Anli's dark face. Lin Anhua on the other side of her also had a dark face. The three siblings, with the same dark faces, stood in a row and looked like a family to anyone.

Farming in the countryside, they are exposed to the wind and sun, and they don't have fair skin inherited from their family, so the skin exposed to the outside of their family is dark. It can be a little whiter in winter, but after winter is over, they have to be exposed to the sun every day, and if they don't get whiter, they will get tanned again, and the cycle repeats. Fortunately, everyone in the Lin family has good looks, so dark faces don't look bad either.

But although Lin Anli has a dark face, her skin is very good. She has a lively and beautiful appearance and good looks. Although she is wearing a gray dress now, she has a different kind of cuteness and sweetness.

"Anli, when you fall in love in the future, remember to protect yourself and put yourself first." Lin Anran gave a preventive shot first.

Lin Anli glanced at Lin Anran's face, turned her head away shyly and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't want to date. I want to make money."

Lin Anhua rolled up his sleeves and said, "Anyway, your future partner has to pass my test."

Lin Anran: "You two should keep your eyes open."

The twins simultaneously thought of their scumbag ex-brother-in-law and looked at Lin Anran hesitantly, wanting to say something.

Lin Anran guessed what they were thinking, but she didn't want to talk about the original owner's ex-husband. It had nothing to do with her. She raised her hand to straighten their heads and said, "Look at the road. What do you want to do?"

The twins exchanged a quick glance and said in unison, "It's all right. Listen to me."

Lin Anran didn't know what fun things to do in the city center, so he just said, "Let's walk around and play. If we see anything interesting, we can go and play."

The three of them walked around the city center and ate a lot of street food. They didn't even have to go out for lunch. She thought that this place was not far from Xiangmi Lake Park, so she took the twins on foot. They were lucky to come across a horse racing event at the racecourse. Unfortunately, there were too many people and they couldn't get in. They could only hear the cheers from afar outside.

"Do you want to go in and play?" Lin Anran looked up at the Ferris wheel and asked the twins eagerly, his eyes conveying - I want to play!

"No!" The twins almost shook their heads off. This thing looked very expensive!

Lin Anran regretfully withdrew her gaze from the Ferris wheel, but this time she did not try to persuade them. The money spent today had already made the twins' hearts bleed, and she could not influence them with her own consumption concept.

Lin Anran changed her mind and happily decided in her heart that if Jing found a job, the two of them could come to Xiangmi Lake to ride the Ferris wheel.

In the end, the three of them just looked around, but the twins were very satisfied. Everything here was something they had never seen before. It was an eye-opener for them, and they sighed deeply: "It's worthy of being called Shenzhen!"

Lin Anhua added, "It feels like we are country bumpkins coming to the city."

Lin Anli has a tacit understanding as twins: "We are Granny Liu, and this is the Grand View Garden!"

Lin Anran was stunned and laughed out loud: "You two are really funny!"

The three of them had bright and happy smiles on their faces.

Lin Anran was very happy to meet her younger brother and sister-in-law for the first time. The twins were simple-minded, and it was not her who took care of them, but rather the twins who took care of her.

"Be careful on your way back." When Lin Anran said goodbye to the twins, she rarely acted like an older sister. She used to be an older sister, but she didn't have a close relationship with her younger siblings and didn't have much sisterly affection for them.

"Sister, you too, you are still alone, do you really not want Anhua and I to take you back?" Lin Anli was a little worried.

Lin Anran rubbed her hair: "If you send me back, will you still be able to go back to the electronics factory tonight? Well, don't worry, I am your sister after all."

But the twins insisted on watching her get on the bus before they would leave, so Lin Anran had no choice but to agree. She felt that she was not the older sister, but the younger sister.

The bus Lin Anran was waiting for soon arrived at the stop, but there were so many passengers getting on at the Xiangmi Lake Park stop that her scalp was tingling. Before she even boarded the bus, she began to wonder if it would be overcrowded. She turned around with difficulty to look at the twins and said, "I'm getting on."

"Sister! I remember everything you said, and I helped Anhua remember it too. I know you are doing this for our own good." Lin Anli suddenly said, pulling Lin Anran's hand.

Lin Anhua scratched his hair: "Huh? What did An Li help me remember?"

Lin Anran blinked and smiled. She shook Lin Anli's hand slightly, "Also remember, you are the most important. You are the first in your life."

Lin Anli was stunned and nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Lin Anran patted the bewildered Lin Anhua and said, "Anhua, remember to listen to Anli."

Lin Anhua: "Sister, I'm your older brother, Anli, please listen to me, right?"

Patting Lin Anhua's head lovingly, Lin Anran turned around, took a deep breath, and squeezed onto the bus with a fearless attitude. Passenger Lin Anran felt like she was about to break into pieces. She was so crushed that she didn't really want to ride the horrible Xiangmi Lake Park station or the Ferris wheel. She counted and there were still five stops left. It was almost there, and she would be able to get off soon.

The bus stopped and passengers got off and got on, but it was still very crowded.

"safely?!"

Lin Anran looked up instantly and saw that it was really Yu Jing. His eyes widened in surprise: "I thought I heard it wrong?"

Yu Jing pushed past a few people and squeezed next to Lin Anran. The two leaned against each other and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although the car was crowded, it felt completely different to have someone familiar around.

Lin Anran tilted his head and asked her, "Do you have an interview here?"

"It was a pastry factory, but it didn't work out. I thought I wasn't doing well enough, but after I left, I overheard the person hired was a distant relative of the interviewer. He had connections," Yu Jing said, feeling angry and powerless. "If they had already decided to hire this distant relative, why didn't they put out the job announcement? Are we interviewing for the job just going to put on a show for free?"

Lin Anran looked at her sympathetically. For some reason, Yu Jing had gone to many interviews recently, but not only did she fail to get the job, she also encountered some speechless or even disgusting things every time. Yu Jing once said with a sad face that she was very unlucky and everything went wrong. It was really strange.

Lin Anran couldn't say anything to comfort her because she had already said a lot before, and Yu Jing didn't want comfort.

"Sorry, Anran, I made you listen to me complain about work again. I always tell you these things, you must be tired of it." Yu Jing quickly adjusted her mood and looked at Lin Anran with an apologetic expression.

Lin Anran thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I can treat what you said as gossip. Really, the things you encountered always amaze me. I'm not treating you as a joke, but your experiences are truly magical."

Yu Jing chuckled: "It's okay, you're right, it's just for fun. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. I guess you would have taken it as a joke when you heard it. It's not all bad if it can make you laugh."

Lin Anran tapped the corner of her mouth with his finger: "Smile, and good luck will come naturally."

Yu Jing subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth and smiled a little wider: "I rarely smile these days, right?"

Lin Anran nodded.

"An Ran, I wish I could be as optimistic as you." Yu Jing sighed to herself, but she knew she couldn't do it because she was a person who tended to overthink.

"Yu Jing, you're doing very well." Lin Anran shook his head. Everyone has their own characteristics. There is no better or worse one.

Yu Jing is a girl who is gentle on the outside but tough on the inside, and Lin Anran believes she can succeed.

The bus arrived at another stop, slowly stopped, and the doors opened.

"Ah! My wallet is gone! Thief! There's a thief!"

Suddenly, a sharp female voice was heard in the bus, which made everyone reflexively touch their pockets to confirm whether the money was still there. As a result, the bus kept ringing with "My wallet is missing", "Thief", and "Catch the thief". In just a few seconds, the bus became chaotic.

Lin Anran tilted her body slightly to make sure her money was still there. She never kept her money in her bag, so thieves couldn't steal it. She also made sure nothing was missing from her bag. Turning around, she saw Yu Jing's face was very grim. She asked her, "Your wallet?"

Yu Jing's lips turned pale as she tugged at her torn bag: "My wallet is missing..."

Lin Anran turned around and shouted with everyone: "Catch the thief!" while constantly looking for people who might be the thief.

"Master, close the door and catch the thief!"

"Ouch! Master, don't close the door! The thief has already gotten out of the car and is about to run away! Quick, quick, quick! Go catch the thief!"

The crowd on the bus was furious, but those who were quick to react had already jumped out and ran after the thief. Enthusiastic passers-by saw this and followed him one by one. People sitting by the windows on the bus stuck their heads out to look and shouted, "Catch the thief!"

Lin Anran and her companions couldn't get past the other passengers, so she could only tiptoe and report to Yu Jing behind her: "Eight, no, more than a dozen people are chasing us. Hey, the passersby in front of the thief helped stop him. Great! The thief has been stopped! The thief has a knife!"

Lin Anran held his breath and watched the scene nervously. Because of the knife in the thief's hand, the people around him didn't dare to step forward and were in a standoff. Suddenly, someone threw something at high speed, which happened to hit the thief's hand holding the knife. The thief's knife was knocked down. Then the enthusiastic crowd rushed over together and held the thief down. Some people took the opportunity to punch and kick him. The scene was in chaos, but there was no shortage of cheers.

This enthusiastic crowd catching a thief had the perfect ending. All of this happened in just a few minutes. Lin Anran was overjoyed: "That's great, no one was hurt. Yu Jing, your wallet will definitely be found!"

Yu Jing nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Soon, Yu Jing's wallet was returned intact. She burst into tears of joy: "Finally, something good happened..."

One of the enthusiastic people who returned the wallet was stunned. This person was the one who knocked the knife out of the thief's hand. He stammered, "Girl, don't be sad. Check if your money is missing. If it is, I'll go find it for you..."

Yu Jing wiped away her tears embarrassedly: "No, I cried because I got my wallet back. I was so happy. Thank you."

"Is that so? That's great!" One of the enthusiastic people suddenly smiled with a big white tooth, "My name is Ma Yaozu, nice to meet you."

When Lin Anran heard the name, she thought to herself, what a coincidence! She had just met a man named Chen Guangzong, and now there was Ma Yaozu. Guangzong and Yaozu were both present in one day. But why did she feel that the name Ma Yaozu was strangely familiar? Had she heard of this name before?

Yu Jing also smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Yu Jing."

Standing by, like a backdrop, Lin Anran felt like a witness to something. Did she have an invisible "passerby halo" above her? She just watched silently, without saying a word, waiting to see when Yu Jing would think of her.

Yu Jing was very friendly. After introducing herself, she immediately pulled Lin Anran and said, "This is my best friend, Lin Anran."

Ma Yaozu politely turned to look at Lin Anran: "Hello, Miss Lin." Then he immediately turned to look at Yu Jing, "Miss Yu, are you in trouble? Maybe I can help you."

Ma Yaozu's goodwill was very obvious. Lin Anran observed Yu Jing and found that Yu Jing also seemed to have a good impression of Ma Yaozu, who helped her find her wallet when they first met. Ma Yaozu always talked to Yu Jing, and it was a pity that he could come up with so many topics.

Ma Yaozu kept talking during the rest of the car journey. Lin Anran felt like she was seeing a peacock spreading its feathers, but this man talked too much.

The bus finally arrived at the station, and Ma Yaozu finally successfully exchanged contact information with Yu Jing on the Internet.

After getting out of the car, Lin Anran asked, "Yu Jing, do you want to develop a relationship with Mr. Ma?"

Yu Jing blushed instantly and stammered, "This is our first meeting, so we need to get to know each other better. Let's agree to be pen pals first..."

Lin Anran nodded seriously: "Yeah."

Yu Jing continued, "An Ran, I just... I don't know how to put it. I've always had bad luck, but when I lost my wallet, it was Mr. Ma who helped catch the thief and returned it to me. I think that meeting him meant good things happened. I'm not superstitious, it's just..."

Lin Anran shook her head gently: "Yu Jing, follow your own feelings. You know best what you want and need, so there's no need to explain so much. If you really have a good impression of him, just let it go and get along with him naturally. Don't force yourself."

Yu Jing frowned: "I don't know if I really have a good impression of Mr. Ma, but Mr. Ma is a good person. I need to think about it carefully."

The two of them walked apart. Lin Anran signed her name as usual and entered the villa area. After walking a little over a hundred meters, she suddenly froze, her eyes wide open. She stamped her foot vigorously and patted her head, "I finally remembered!"

She was familiar with the name Ma Yaozu because Ma Yaozu and Yu Jing's names appeared together!

Because the heroine and heroine would not appear in Shenzhen for several years, Lin Anran had forgotten all about the original novel. Now she had to start recalling the original plot again.

In the novel, after the heroine came to Shenzhen to develop her career, she had a capable subordinate named Yu Jing. Before she met the heroine, Yu Jing was a complete unlucky person. She first encountered a wave of layoffs and could not find a job. Because her husband Ma Yaozu bravely married him, she thought her marriage would be happy. As a result, Yu Jing really fell into hell after marriage. Yu Jing became a housewife and was treated like a slave by her in-laws.

Ma Yaozu has a mother and several older sisters. He's a mama's boy and a sister's boy, easily influenced by others. He only wants Yu Jing to be patient and submissive. Yu Jing got pregnant but unfortunately miscarried. She also couldn't keep the baby after getting pregnant again. She went to the hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with injuries from her first miscarriage. Even if she got pregnant, she would have habitual miscarriages. As a result, Ma Yaozu cheated on her, had a child with someone else, and wanted to bring the child back for Yu Jing to raise...

Just before Yu Jing collapsed, the heroine of the novel helped Yu Jing. From then on, Yu Jing stood up, divorced, and worked hard to learn all the knowledge, just to repay the heroine's help. Yu Jing finally died alone.

Lin Anran finished recalling: So angry!

She wanted to take back what she had said to Yu Jing. Damn her good feelings! What about letting things take their own course? She wanted to curse Yu Jing and Ma Yaozu so that they could never be a couple! Break them up!

Love go away!
