Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Spending Money Effortlessly

Because Wang Simei was very cooperative, Lin Anran's homemade aloe vera gel experiment on mice took another step forward.

Lin Anran walked Wang Simei and her friend to the entrance of the villa. After watching the two friends get into the car and reluctantly say goodbye to her, she smiled and said, "See you next time."

Wang Simei and her friend immediately responded with joy.

Watching the car drive away, Lin Anran thought that her driver's license should be ready, it had been several days.

"Ms. Lin, are you seeing the guests off?"

Lin Anran came back to his senses and turned to look at Xue Ya who was walking over from the other side, and Butler Carson who was following behind Xue Ya.

"Well, Miss Xue, are you going for a walk?" Lin Anran said the polite words naturally. She had seen Xue Ya more often these days when she went out, and so had Xue Kai. The Xue family had been very quiet recently. They no longer held banquets every day, inviting a bunch of people to come over to play, or sending a bunch of people out to have fun. The Xue family was so quiet that it seemed as if the Xue siblings were going to become good people.

Xue Ya looked at Lin Anran with a strange look in her eyes. "I've been busy for so many days, and I finally have a break these days. I didn't expect Miss Lin and Miss Wang to have such a good relationship. Miss Wang often comes to visit you."

Lin Anran chuckled: "We get along well." This was all thanks to Wang Simei's money-making efforts.

"Ms. Lin, you are so lucky." Xue Ya stared at Lin Anran and said suddenly.

Lin Anran was puzzled.

Xue Ya said, "With your situation, you were able to enter our circle so naturally. Don't you think you're lucky? But you can live a happy life without knowing anything."

A situation like hers?

Lin Anran felt sickened when she thought about the Xue family investigating her. Xue Ya's words implied that she knew her personal situation very well. Her face immediately turned cold: "Ms. Xue, if you can't talk, you can shut up."

Xue Ya waved her hands and said, "I didn't mean anything by that. I was just praising you. Miss Lin, didn't you get it? You've suddenly become rich. Upstarts like you are quite impressive, but you're certainly a bit timid."

"Praising people? I suggest you go home and study your family speech course carefully." Lin Anran was too lazy to talk to Xue Ya anymore. He turned around and closed the door. It was a pity that her family didn't have a dog, otherwise she could let the dog out.

"Ms. Lin, you are too sensitive..." Xue Ya's voice was trapped outside the door.

Zhang Yan: "Ms. Lin? Are you okay?"

Lin Anran shook his head calmly: "I'm fine, just a little nauseous."

"Ms. Lin, that Xue Ya seems to be paying a lot of attention to you." Zhang Yan reminded.

Lin Anran: "I know. She kept pestering me to buy orchids before, but after I refused, she didn't insist. Now, every time we meet, she comes to talk to me. I don't know what it is about me that makes her like me so much."

Lin Anran recalled the time he had just met Xue Ya and Butler Carson. The master and servant looked quite relaxed, taking a walk, so leisurely. But Lin Anran felt that there was a sense of restlessness in Xue Ya, and it was unexpected that the Xue siblings suddenly calmed down. The bank loan was not approved, but Xue Ya was not in a hurry?

She pondered what Xue Ya had said to her. Was it bliss to know nothing? What was she supposed to know?

Has anything major happened in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange recently?

Lin Anran didn't figure anything out. When she and Zhang Yan went out to get their driver's licenses, they found that the situation on the streets was a little different from before. The streets were much cleaner and tidier, and there were more police officers patrolling. Apart from that, everything seemed the same as usual.

After getting her driver's license, Lin Anran drove home. Although she seemed like a novice driver, she was also considered an experienced driver.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan couldn't help but say, "Ms. Lin learns to drive really fast."

Lin Anran said with a smile: "Maybe I was born to drive."

"By the way, Zhang Yan, is Li Ming working in a security company now, or has he taken other jobs?" Lin Anran suddenly asked.

Zhang Yan: "Li Ming is not at the security company. Miss Lin, do you want to hire him?"

Lin Anran hummed, a little confused, "My eyelids have been twitching wildly today. I have a bad feeling."

Zhang Yan: "Ms. Lin, I will protect you."

Lin Anran blinked and looked ahead: "I know, since I'm here now, why don't I go home first and check out the house renovations."

Wait! House!

In a flash, Lin Anran remembered that the old man seemed to have been on his southern tour in January!

Lin Anran didn't remember the exact date, but she felt it was correct. Shenzhen was busy entertaining the old man who came south, and every place in Shenzhen had to take action. This was probably the reason why Xue Ya and Xue Kai stayed put.

But there was no report on this incident in Shenzhen newspapers or TV stations.

Two days later, when Lin Anran was watching Hong Kong TVB at home, he confirmed his guess, and the old man had already left Shenzhen and gone to other cities.

Lin Anran calculated in his mind the time Xue Ya had been "walking" at home. It was four or five days. Does this count as a delay?

"The bank loan should be approved today. It's been delayed for a few days. Fortunately, it's all settled." Cheng Dacai poured himself a glass of white wine excitedly.

Lin Anran feigned curiosity and asked, "Why did the Xue family delay for a few days? Couldn't they have done it before? Wouldn't it be better to do it all at once?"

Cheng Dacai pointed his finger upwards, pointing to the sky. "Everything happens for a reason. Go slowly and be careful. Our mobile phone business is exclusive to the entire country, and no one is competing with us for the time being. So a few days of delay won't be a big deal. As long as we can get the goods shipped back, everything will be fine."

Zeng Feng poured tea for herself and Lin Anran and said, "After Xue Kai got through that critical moment, he went to Hong Kong to have fun. He said that Shenzhen couldn't compare to Hong Kong. But Xue Kai left and left. The mobile phone business was organized by Miss Xue. I think Miss Xue is more like the heir trained by the Xue family."

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Did Xue Kai run off to Hong Kong?"

Zeng Feng: "Yes, I received the news this morning. Xue Kai and Miss Xue live in Shenzhen, but they go to Hong Kong from time to time. They spend most of the week there. Xue Kai especially likes to go to the Hong Kong Racecourse to bet on horses."

"Where is Xue Ya?" Lin Anran turned and asked.

Cheng Dacai explained: "Ms. Xue must be busy with company matters. She is the biggest boss of the company and we have to follow her instructions."

Lin Anran could no longer sit still. She hurriedly said goodbye to Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng and immediately returned home. When she arrived at the door, she looked next door and saw that the housekeeping staff of the Xue family villa were busy as usual. Everything was normal.

"Ms. Lin, you're back. Someone just called you. He said he was Uncle Wang and asked you to call him when you come back." Aunt Zhong looked like she was getting ready to go out. She was planning to go out and look for Lin Anran.

"Okay, I understand, Aunt Zhong." Lin Anran didn't care about anything else and quickly ran to the living room to call Uncle Wang. The call was quickly connected. "Uncle Wang, have you received any news?"

Uncle Wang was indeed here to provide information: "The Xue family does have a pair of twin siblings named Xue Ya and Xue Kai, and the photos match."

Lin Anran was stunned. She slapped her head and said, "Ah..."

So her suspicions were wrong?

"But there are also doubts in the information we have investigated, because there are doubts about the cooperation between Big Mobile Company and the Xue family, and it still needs to be investigated." Uncle Wang said again.

Lin Anran: “…”

My goodness, she was about to grow a new brain. Even if Uncle Wang didn't say it, she knew that this investigation would be difficult and the business cooperation had to be kept confidential until it was confirmed.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Anran, who was exhausted, gave herself a full body skin care treatment using homemade aloe vera honey gel. After applying it, she felt relaxed all over. The only thing she needed was someone to give her a massage.

So Lin Anran went to the hair salon in the commercial street to relax herself, mainly because Li Jia’s massage service was really good.

But Li Jia seemed to be a little worried today, of course this did not affect Li Jia's provision of high-quality service.

Lin Anran asked her curiously, "What are you worried about?" She noticed that not only Li Jia, but also other employees in the hair salon had some emotions on their faces.

Upon hearing this, Li Jia subconsciously looked around, then breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Lin Anran in the mirror, she forced a smile and whispered, "Our boss is planning to sell the salon. Her daughter has settled abroad and wants to take the boss abroad. She's planning to sell this salon and open another one abroad."

Lin Anran opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Really?"

Li Jia nodded: "Really, it's great that the boss can go abroad. I just don't know who this hair salon will be sold to. The owner of the hair salon across the street is interested in buying it, and the two bosses are negotiating the price. I don't know what we hair salon employees should do." After saying that, he sighed slightly.

After getting the confirmed answer, Lin Anran's expression changed slightly. It was rare for her to find such a comfortable hair salon. If the owner was replaced by the owner of the hair salon opposite, would she still be able to enjoy the high-quality service provided by Li Jia in the future?

Thinking about the situation at the hair salon across the street, Lin Anran felt a bit overwhelmed. It wasn't that she meant to disparage the owner; she simply didn't like the messy environment of the salon across the street. From her occasional observations, the salon across the street didn't have those kinds of issues, but there were some interesting things going on. For example, she had previously seen a male customer taking advantage of a female employee at the salon, and the owner, also a woman, turned a blind eye and even flirted with the man...

Lin Anran shook her body. Did she have to find a new hair salon?

That’s not right. She has money, why doesn’t she buy this hair salon?

Lin Anran's eyes suddenly lit up. The house will appreciate in value, and the prices of shops in the commercial street will definitely soar. Why did she only focus on buying houses before and not think about buying shops?

She has millions of dollars in her card, and it's time to spend it lavishly.

This hair salon is doing good business, so it will definitely be profitable to buy it. The store employees are all ready-made, and everything will remain the same after the purchase. At most, she can hire a store manager to help her manage the business, and then she can just be a hands-off boss.

"Li Jia, is your hair salon owner here?" Lin Anran asked Li Jia after enjoying himself comfortably.

Li Jia was stunned: "Miss Lin, are you looking for our boss?"

Lin Anran nodded, and with Li Jia as the middleman, Lin Anran and the hair salon owner quickly finalized the sale of the hair salon. Both parties were very satisfied. The shop originally belonged to the hair salon owner. Not long after, Lin Anran had a shop, a hair salon, and six employees under his name.

Lin Anran was very decisive and directly arranged for Li Jia to be the acting manager of the hair salon. Whether Li Jia would be promoted to a regular position would depend on Li Jia's performance. Although Li Jia was young, she had known Li Jia for so long and had some understanding of him. Li Jia had a good character and was warm and attentive to customers. It was okay for her to gossip. The former hair salon owner also highly affirmed Li Jia's performance and strongly recommended Li Jia to Lin Anran.

Li Jia's mood was like a roller coaster. She never expected to become the acting manager of the hair salon. She said excitedly, "Thank you, boss! I will do my best!"

Lin Anran spent money lavishly and returned home contentedly. Unexpectedly, she ran into Xue Ya, who happened to be returning home, at the doorstep. Xue Ya came to greet her again. For a moment, Lin Anran clearly felt Xue Ya's malice towards her, but it soon disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.

Xue Ya looked at Lin Anran's pretty face and said, "Have a nice night, Miss Lin."

Lin Anran's eyelids twitched, but he remained calm and said, "I heard that Miss Xue's company is ready. Congratulations."

Xue Ya smiled with satisfaction: "The bank loan has been approved. We just need to wait for the payment to be transferred, and then we can ship the first batch of goods in. You are welcome to attend the celebration party then."

Lin Anran smiled and watched Xue Ya turn around and go back.

Back home, Lin Anran rubbed his brows and said to Zhang Yan, "Be careful tonight."

Zhang Yan didn't ask why, but nodded. Late at night, Lin Anran woke up from her dream, panting heavily. She turned on the bedside lamp. It was quiet all around, as the villa was well soundproofed. Suddenly, she heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Ms. Lin?" It was Zhang Yan's voice.

Lin Anran swallowed and clenched the stun gun in her hand. She got out of bed and walked to the door. After confirming again and again that it was Zhang Yan, she opened the door.

Zhang Yan quickly glanced at Lin Anran and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're okay!"

Lin Anran: "What happened outside?"

Zhang Yan: "Someone broke in."

Lin Anran's face turned cold.
