Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Work Can't Stop

Lin Anran was surprised to learn that Yu Jing was moving out of her house. "Are you moving out now? I remember you're about to start school."

Yu Jing performed very well in the college entrance examination. She applied for a university in Shenzhen and was admitted to her first choice, Shenzhen University, majoring in English. Her year of hard work and determination were not in vain. When Yu Jing received the university admission letter, she immediately found Lin Anran to share her joy. Lin Anran was very happy for her.

However, after being admitted to university, Yu Jing was still busy with her family's small business and had very little free time. Lin Anran had little time to play with her and didn't know what happened in the Yu family.

"I have found a house near the university and rented it for a month. I can afford the rent now." Yu Jing explained with a smile, but the smile was forced.

Seeing this, Lin Anran asked what was going on. It turned out to be because of Yu Jing's family. Every family has its own problems.

Yu Jing helps with the business at home. She doesn't get any salary, and her family doesn't give her any money. She is just working for the family for free. The problem is that Yu Jing has an older brother, and her parents favor her older brother. The Yu family's business must belong to the older brother, and Yu Jing doesn't get a penny. Yu Jing's sister-in-law is wary of Yu Jing and doesn't let her touch the money.

"I just screw in screws at the factory, making at least 300 yuan a month, but when I help out at home, I'm treated like a thief," Yu Jing said with a wry smile. "It's not that my parents, my older brother, and my sister-in-law don't care about me, but the whole family excludes me. They don't say it out loud, but I can feel it. I'm like an outsider at home. The day before yesterday, my family was paying the workers' wages, and I jokingly asked for my salary, and the whole family criticized me."

"An Ran, your family wouldn't be like this, right?" Yu Jing suddenly asked.

Lin Anran thought of the Lin family and lowered his eyes slightly: "No, I don't worry about the family business. If you give it to me, I will take it. If you don't give it to me, it's fine."

"That's great," Yu Jing sighed enviously. "I didn't really ask for a salary, I just wanted to test my family's attitude. But I ended up being the one living and eating for free at home and shamelessly asking for money. Anran, it's really hard to live with your hands facing up. I've been living like this all year."

Yu Jing wasn't as relaxed as she appeared. She said her parents no longer pressured her to go on blind dates or find a job, and that they'd agreed to let her repeat a year. But in reality, they weren't completely on board. Even though the Yu family was busy making money, business was never smooth sailing. There were always going to be rough patches. And how did the Yu family get along with Yu Jing at home? She didn't have to do anything; a single word from them was enough to sting Yu Jing's heart.

Hearing this, Lin Anran fell silent and tactically took a sip of the soda. It was really hard to comment on this, but she thought of Yu Jing in the original novel. Yu Jing had a hard life in the original novel. It must have been because of her weak character and the inhumanity of her husband and in-laws, but it was also because of Yu's family. If Yu's family really loved Yu Jing and supported her, would Yu Jing have been tortured for so many years in her in-laws' family?

The answer is obvious.

"I should have moved out earlier." Yu Jing smiled with relief.

Even though I don't know what happened between Yu Jing and her family, as a good friend, of course I have to support her! Lin Anran reached out and patted her: "It's not too late for you to move out now."

"Luckily, I got into university," Yu Jing nodded vigorously, looking at Lin Anran with eyes full of gratitude. "Anran, thank you for encouraging me to study hard and take the college entrance exam last year. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have decided to repeat. It's great to be your friend."

Yu Jing was really grateful that she met Lin Anran at night university. Along the way, she had received countless help from Lin Anran. If it weren't for Lin Anran, she really couldn't imagine what she would be like now. Would she still be tiredly interviewing for jobs, or hastily getting married and having children?

It is indeed too old for her to go to college at her current age, and her parents still hope that she will find a partner and settle down as soon as possible, but Yu Jing is no longer afraid. She can go to college and fulfill her college dream. She will have more choices in her life instead of being forced to die on a certain path by anyone.

Lin Anran smiled and refused the credit: "Why thank me? Thank yourself. I was just giving you a suggestion. It's your own hard work that got you into university."

She really didn't think she had done anything. Yu Jing was able to get into university entirely because of her own ability.

"No, thank you." Yu Jing shook her head gently, her eyes firm.

Lin Anran laughed dumbly: "Do you need my help with moving?"

Yu Jing said, "No, I don't have much luggage. My teacher found me an English tutoring job. I teach three classes a week and the money I earn is enough for my living expenses. I can continue tutoring after school starts, and it won't interfere with my studies."

Yu Jing still has a few years' salary saved up, which is enough to pay for a few years of university tuition. Now some universities require tuition, and the tuition is not expensive, so Jing can afford it herself.

"As expected, if you learn English well, you won't be afraid of going anywhere." Lin Anran laughed.

Yu Jing also laughed: "I have the best grades in English. Learning English well can really make money. I have done some research and found that many people are looking for English tutors."

Lin Anran: "Indeed, there are private training classes now, and many students have signed up. An Li said that some of her classmates have to go to cram school after school."

Night universities offer free courses, but they are attended by many people, and it is impossible for night university teachers to take care of every student. Therefore, how much students can learn depends on their own abilities. However, private training institutions are different. If you want targeted tutoring, training institutions provide one-on-one or one-on-two tutoring classes. The teachers in training institutions can take care of every student. Such training institutions have already existed in Shenzhen.

"Is Anli still studying hard recently?" Yu Jing asked with concern.

Lin Anran: "Very hard-working." After being led to make a small profit in the stock market, Lin Anli studied even harder.

Yu Jing praised: "Anli's performance will get better and better."

"Haha, for sure." Lin Anran is also very confident in Lin Anli, especially since Lin Anli has a really strong ability to withstand pressure. If she finds the right learning method, she can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Have you heard about Tian Xiaoyue's marriage?" Yu Jing saw Lin Anran's surprise and said, "It seems you don't know."

Lin Anran asked in shock: "Tian Xiaoyue is married? To whom? Chen Guangzong? When did it happen?"

Yu Jing explained, "She got married in June. It wasn't Chen Guangzong. It was said to be a clothing factory owner who was richer than Tian Xiaoyue."

"So Tian Xiaoyue is getting married, not having someone marry into her family." Lin Anran pointed at the handle of the cup and said meaningfully.

"Yes, we were all very surprised when we found out. After all, Tian Xiaoyue said at the beginning that she wanted to find a partner to marry into her family, but who would have thought that she didn't find anyone in the end." Yu Jing shook her head in confusion.

Lin Anran chuckled and said, "Tian Xiaoyue is very smart."

It's not that Lin Anran wants to discriminate, it's just the national conditions. Men who marry into the woman's family often have major shortcomings. Not to mention the 1990s, even in 2025, men who marry into the woman's family will be looked down upon. Men's self-esteem is extremely strong. Aren't there many cases of three generations returning to the ancestral home?

Tian Xiaoyue was indeed a clever woman who wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of. Who were her pursuers? Chen Guangzong? He was a rotten man. Lin Anran had previously investigated Tian Xiaoyue because Lin Anhua had someone investigate her. The data showed several of her suitors. Lin Anran had to say they were a bunch of misfits, none of them worth her attention. They were all after Tian Xiaoyue's millions, and these rotten men weren't at all professional. Not only did they lack the looks to be gigolos, they didn't even have the skills.

Lin Anran was not surprised that Tian Xiaoyue chose to marry a boss who was richer than her. Only by joining forces could she increase her wealth instead of spending money on a man who had no face.

Yu Jing was stunned.

"What kind of good man can be willing to marry into a wife's family?" Lin Anran raised his eyebrows and pointed out directly.

Yu Jing suddenly realized: "Indeed, Tian Xiaoyue has several suitors... and among them, Chen Guangzong is the best. The problem is that Chen Guangzong is like that..." As she spoke, she couldn't go on.

"It's just right that she's married." Lin Anran doesn't have to worry about Tian Xiaoyue pestering Lin Anhua again. As for whether Tian Xiaoyue is the Tian Yue in the original novel, and whether she does something shady when doing business, this is the business of the public security, so she doesn't worry about it. As long as Tian Xiaoyue doesn't fall into her hands, there are many people doing business these days who have dirty hands because there are too many loopholes to exploit.

Lin Anran didn't expect that just after she had told Yu Jing about Tian Xiaoyue, she would actually run into Tian Xiaoyue when she went to work at the beauty salon the next day. Tian Xiaoyue didn't come alone, she was brought by a repeat customer of the beauty salon.

The beauty salon opened by Lin Anran is very popular. The homemade products used in her shop are extremely effective. Customers spread the word and attracted wealthy women in Shenzhen to become members. In the beginning, her beauty salon was a place for customers to enjoy beauty treatments. Later, as the number of people increased, the beauty salon became an excellent social place. Some bosses would bring their partners here, sit down for a full set of beauty treatments, and feel relaxed and comfortable. Cooperation was easily negotiated, and there were also many wives’ diplomacy activities here.

The beauty salon made money very quickly. Once Lin Anran had more money in her card, she thought about buying the shops on both sides. This would be a good opportunity to expand the beauty salon. With her own shops, she wouldn't have to worry about rent.

Just as he was thinking about it, the returning customer's eyes lit up in surprise when he saw Lin Anran: "Boss Lin, I didn't expect to see you in the beauty salon today, what a coincidence."

Lin Anran smiled warmly at the customers who spent money at the beauty salon: "Welcome."

The returning customer remembered Tian Xiaoyue and gave a brief introduction to Lin Anran.

The surprise in Tian Xiaoyue's eyes had long since faded: "Hello, Boss Lin."

Lin Anran looked at Tian Xiaoyue, who had a natural expression on her face. She didn't say anything else, but just smiled and said, "Hello, welcome."

Tian Xiaoyue glanced at Lin Anran and quickly forced a smile.

After briefly chatting with the enthusiastic guests, Lin Anran escorted them to their reserved rooms. She turned to Yuan Fei, who was beside her, and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job."

When Lin Anran was away, Yuan Fei managed the beauty salon very well and the customers were very satisfied. The beauty salon's products were good, but the service quality was also top-notch, and the wealthy people were willing to pay for it.

Yuan Fei's eyebrows lit up with joy, but she said seriously, "Yes, Boss, we still have room for improvement..."

After listening to Yuan Fei's report, Lin Anran went to the office to deal with some things, then left the beauty salon and went to inspect the hair salon opposite. Today's work trip was over.
