Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Hypocrisy

Before the new stocks were listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange welcomed the college entrance examination in July this year. Everyone had to give way to the college entrance examination candidates, so the enthusiasm for stock speculation was instantly suppressed by the college entrance examination, and the college entrance examination was the only thing people talked about on the streets.

Among the people Lin Anran knows, Yu Jing and Zhou Yunxue are taking the college entrance examination this year. Compared with Zhou Yunxue, Yu Jing is under greater pressure. Yu Jing only has this one chance. If she fails this time, she will not have another chance because her age and family conditions do not allow it. The Yu family makes money from business, but it is impossible for them to support Yu Jing to repeat the college entrance examination. The Yu family only agrees that Yu Jing can take the exam one last time.

Yu Jing once couldn't help but confide in Lin Anran that her parents didn't understand why she had to repeat the Gaokao. Aren't there many people who didn't make it to university and still find jobs and live well? A high school diploma is a high level of education. Yu Jing's parents even said that if she didn't pass, it would be a good help to the family, saving them from having to hire new staff. However, they also encouraged her to study hard. It was a bit contradictory, but very realistic.

Fortunately, Yu Jing got used to it and was not sad. At least her parents did not really oppose her.

Lin Anran had nothing to say about this. Yu Jing was thoughtful and sensitive, but she was not fragile. Otherwise, how could Yu Jing have persisted in reviewing and preparing for the exam all year?

"Come on, Yu Jing." Lin Anran encouraged Yu Jing. Yu Jing was going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and this year Yu Jing came to her specifically to relax.

Yu Jing took a breath and said, "Okay, thank you An Ran. The exam venue I was assigned to this time happens to be my high school. It's in a familiar place. I'm really lucky."

A smile flashed in Lin Anran's eyes: "Really? That's really good luck."

A good start.

"Sister, Sister Yu Jing looks so nervous." Lin Anli's high school is on vacation, and she is now studying at Lin Anran's house.

Lin Anran nodded slightly. She also noticed that Yu Jing was under a lot of pressure. However, in order to prevent Yu Jing's pressure from continuing to increase, she did not point this out. She believed that Yu Jing could withstand the pressure, and only with pressure could there be motivation.

"You are under a lot of pressure. Do you want to continue studying today, or help me work and earn some pocket money?" Lin Anran turned her head and glanced at Lin Anli with a smile. Lin Anli helped her with the work, and she didn't let her work in vain. Before, Lin Anli followed her to Jinyuan Villa to plant roses.

Lin Anli hesitated, but quickly made a decision: "Sister, I'd better go do the homework. The teacher assigned us a lot of homework, so I'll finish it first."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Anran waved her hand nonchalantly. If she wanted to find help, she could easily find it.

As soon as Lin Anli left, Zhou Yunxue called Lin Anran's villa. This girl didn't call to complain, but specifically to complain to Lin Anran -

"Sister Anran, you don't know what the hell I just went through!" Zhou Yunxue's desire to talk was unprecedentedly strong. She really couldn't hold it in any longer. She couldn't tell her family or her friends around her.

Lin Anran immediately became interested: "So what happened to you? Tell me quickly."

Zhou Yunxue chattered, "Isn't the college entrance exam starting tomorrow? I don't know what the hell happened to my parents, but they came to my grandparents' house and said they wanted to take me back. They're taking me to the college entrance exam. I haven't seen them visit me once this year. Now that I'm preparing for the exam, they're thinking of being my parents. I asked them what to do with Yun Shanshan. Do you know what my parents said?"

"So what did they answer?" Lin Anran was very cooperative.

"They said they'd take Yun Shanshan to the exam center first, and then take me!" Zhou Yunxue was speechless. "Especially since Yun Shanshan and I were in completely different locations, it would take over half an hour to go back and forth. Not to mention the traffic jams on the day of the college entrance exam. They didn't consider me at all."

Lin Anran's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he really wanted to ask, "Don't they have brains?"

But Zhou Yunxue, as expected, was their biological daughter. She started by complaining, "My parents are completely clueless. No, they're not clueless. They just think Yun Shanshan will do better than me in the college entrance exam. I'm not their number one priority."

Lin Anran could only ask, "So why did they suddenly say they would take you to the exam venue?"

"It was Yun Shanshan who did it. Yun Shanshan said that my parents would pick her up and drop her off at the examination venue. She felt uneasy and persuaded my parents to pick me up. But who knows how my parents came up with this idea. Humph, my parents also said that they came to pick me up so that Yun Shanshan would not be distracted and could concentrate on the college entrance examination. Fortunately, my grandparents beat them out, otherwise I, their daughter, would have taken action." The more Zhou Yunxue spoke, the more she gritted her teeth. Even though she was already extremely disappointed with her parents, she didn't expect them to do something even more shameless.

Lin Anran: “…………”

Zhou Yunxue cursed, "Yun Shanshan still has the nerve to play tricks on me. She's definitely going to fail the college entrance exam this time. Humph! By the time I go to college, if she doesn't get into the top institution, she'll just have to repeat the year!"

Lin Anran laughed and said, "Your grandparents did a great job!"

"Right, right, I have someone backing me up!" Zhou Yunxue said proudly.

Lin Anran unexpectedly thought of her grandparents in her previous life. Her parents in her previous life were not human beings. Fortunately, she had her grandparents to support her, otherwise she didn't dare to imagine what she would have encountered. She couldn't help but laugh even more heartily: "That's right, you have grandparents, you are a treasure."

Zhou Yunxue laughed out loud: "That's right, I am my grandparents' treasure."

The two of them laughed happily over the phone. Zhou Yunxue suddenly said, "Sister Anran, my fifth brother has been working in Shenzhen for a long time. Grandpa and grandma said it's rare for him to work in Shenzhen for so long, and they're worried that he might have encountered difficulties at work. Sister Anran, have you seen him since you resigned from him? Or have you heard any news about him?"

"Cough cough cough!" Lin Anran was choked by his own saliva. He coughed several times and his throat became a little hoarse.

Zhou Yunxue exclaimed, "Sister Anran, are you okay?"

Lin Anran cleared his throat, took a moment to calm down, and then said slowly, "I'm fine."

"Huh, that's good." Zhou Yunxue felt relieved and mentioned her fifth brother Zhou Heyuan again.

Lin Anran: “…”

Is Zhou Heyuan doing well?

Okay, great, I’ll date her every day.

Is Zhou Heyuan busy in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange?

He was busy, but not that busy. She only saw that Zhou Heyuan was at ease with his job. Zhou Heyuan had a bunch of capable subordinates. He was the decision-maker. With just one word, the people below him immediately started working in an orderly manner.

Lin Anran learned a lot of tricks of being a boss from Zhou Heyuan. She often gave her employees instructions, and most importantly, she was generous with their salaries and bonuses. She was not a boss with a strong desire for control. As long as her employees were capable and achieved results, they would definitely be promoted and given a raise.

Lin Anran felt that being a boss was indeed a good thing. If he used the right method, he could easily control the situation.

Think about it, Zhou Heyuan has indeed lived in Shenzhen since he returned there. He would occasionally go on business trips for a few days, and then come back immediately after work.

"Fifth brother used to return to Beijing after work. What's strange is that he now lives in Shenzhen." Zhou Yunxue's tone was full of doubt.

Lin Anran looked a little guilty. She didn't insist that Zhou Heyuan hide the fact that he and she were in love from his family. It was just that they had only been in a relationship for a few months. Yes, their relationship was getting better, but Lin Anran felt that it was not time to meet the parents yet. They were just in a relationship and it had nothing to do with other people.

Zhou Yunxue is going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and Lin Anran cannot tell Zhou Yunxue that she and Zhou Heyuan are in a relationship now.

Lin Anran could only perfunctorily answer and tried to change the subject: "Have you run out of the rose essential oil I gave you?"

As soon as the rose essential oil was mentioned, Zhou Yunxue's attention was diverted. "No, there's still a little bit left, Sister Anran. The rose essential oil you sent me is really good. It's so comfortable to take a bath with it. I can sleep all night and feel refreshed. Tonight, I'm going to take a bath with rose essential oil before going to bed and get a good night's sleep. I'll be refreshed for the college entrance examination tomorrow. Maybe I can perform exceptionally well."

"As long as it's useful."

Lin Anran hung up the phone with a smile, then changed her clothes and went out to keep her appointment with Zhou Heyuan. Today they had agreed to go to the racecourse for horseback riding. Lin Anran had already been taught the skill of horseback riding by Zhou Heyuan. She could even ride a horse by herself in the racecourse. However, the Shenzhen city in July was stuffy, hot and sunny. After riding for a while, Lin Anran decisively got off the horse.

The two returned to the club's locker room.

"It's so hot and stuffy, I want to eat something ice-cold." Lin Anran said to Zhou Heyuan while wiping the sweat off his face.

Zhou Heyuan lowered his eyes and looked at her rosy face, which was like a delicious peach, making people want to take a bite to taste what it tasted like. He lowered his gaze slightly and landed on her delicate red lips. He knew that was even more delicious...

"He Yuan?" Lin Anran waved his hand in front of him.

Zhou Heyuan grabbed her hand and squeezed it slightly, then pulled her into his arms. He put his other hand behind her head and whispered to her, "Let's eat something hot first..." The rest of his words disappeared between their lips, which were gradually heating up.

The temperature in the changing room was scorching hot.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Anran patted Zhou Heyuan's back, finally freeing herself from the deadly warmth. She panted heavily, leaning softly against his chest. She felt his body temperature was too high, especially since their bodies were pressed against each other. She pushed him, "It's so hot, move back a little."

Zhou Heyuan didn't retreat. He touched her sweaty hair and chuckled. He nudged her nose affectionately and said, "The changing room has air conditioning. Also, if you calm down, you'll feel cool."

Lin Anran's eyes widened slightly and she glared at him coquettishly. How could this man have the nerve to say such a thing? Compared to her, his physical reaction was even more terrible, and she felt it clearly.

Zhou Heyuan knew what she was thinking and said seriously, "I haven't calmed down yet."

Lin Anran's mouth twitched. "So that's why your body can't cool down?" This guy is just shy of flirting. No, he's flirting openly.

Before they started dating, Lin Anran never expected Zhou Heyuan to be like this!

Zhou Heyuan was completely different from the serious person she had previously imagined. What gentleman? What gentleman? Restrained? No, no, no, none of that.

"You are a hypocrite." Lin Anran pointed at him.

Zhou Heyuan grabbed her hand and smiled: "I can't be a serious person when I'm in love with you, Anran, you don't like serious people."

Lin Anran's heart skipped a beat, and she glared at him weakly with her watery eyes: "I like serious people, like you used to be."

Zhou Heyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her with understanding. He just smiled and said nothing.

Lin Anran's face turned even redder. She stretched out her hands, covering her eyes with one hand and Zhou Heyuan's with the other. Yes, that's right, compared to the previous Zhou Heyuan, she liked the Zhou Heyuan who was in love with her now more, cough cough cough!

"Give me something hot." Lin Anran let go of her hand and instead hugged Zhou Heyuan's neck, pressing his head down.

"Okay." Zhou Heyuan moved faster than her and lowered his head to kiss her...
