Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Lin Anran fooled his way through

"Boss Lin, I'm looking forward to your reply." Lu Honghui said solemnly to Lin Anran before getting in the car.

Lin Anran politely saw Lu Honghui off. The car carrying Lu Honghui drove away gradually. She did not stand there, but got in the car and let Zhang Yan drive home.

Lu Honghui's sudden arrival and her attempt to test her willingness to cooperate caught Lin Anran off guard. In the previous conversation, Lu Honghui laid out all the benefits. Lin Anran concluded that it would definitely be profitable to start a company with Lu Honghui, but it was hard to say who would have more say in the company.

Lin Anran thought about her own strength and then about Lu Honghui's. Well, to be honest, she didn't want to belittle herself, but the reality was that Lu Honghui had a big backer and big capital behind her. As for her, she was just a small shrimp. If she really wanted to cooperate with Lu Honghui, she would definitely be no match for her. Especially since Lu Honghui was more than ten years older than her and had been in the business world for many years. The resources and connections in her hands were definitely not comparable to what Lin Anran had now. Lin Anran didn't think that her ability was greater than Lu Honghui.

After thinking about it, she absolutely did not want to be controlled by others. The conditions offered by Lu Honghui were very good now, but Lin Anran understood that the most important formula was in her hands, so she had the initiative. She believed that she could test out more formulas in the future. It seemed that Lu Honghui was at a disadvantage now, but in the long run, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.

As for Lu Honghui's talk of selling skincare products to Hong Kong, Macau, and other countries? Lin Anran does have ambitions to sell her products overseas, but she's not in a rush. The time is not yet ripe. She's only had a small share of the domestic market, so she needs to gain a firm foothold before moving on to other things.

Some might consider Lu Honghui an angel investor, but Lin Anran didn't see that as enough. Furthermore, if Lu Honghui was just one investor, what about the other investors? How could Lin Anran dare to claim he could outmaneuver them?

Sure enough, Zhou Heyuan is the best choice.

Lin Anran really thought it over this time and didn't plan to look for anyone else. She trusted Zhou Heyuan.

After a few days, Lin Anran politely rejected Lu Honghui on the phone. Lu Honghui felt very sorry, but she did not give up immediately and planned to fight for it. However, Lin Anran had considered it seriously. Even if he heard that Lu Honghui was willing to make further concessions, it would not work. Lu Honghui would never give up her voice in the company.

After Lin Anran hung up the phone, she picked up the newspaper she had just put down. This was a newspaper sent from Hong Kong. There was a news report on the children of the Lu Ship King family who were fighting for the inheritance rights. Among them, Lu Honghui, the third daughter of Lu, performed the most eye-catchingly. It seemed that the Lu Ship King was interested in the third daughter.

Nowadays, news reports still emphasize authenticity, not to mention that this is the more serious Hong Kong Economic Times. Even if this news is not 100% true, it is at least 60% to 70% true. Even the gossip newspapers in Hong Kong are particularly fond of reporting on Lu Honghui, the third daughter of the Lu Shipping King. In addition, according to the news that Lin Anran heard from some channels, Lu Honghui is the most capable and skillful one in the Lu family. No wonder the Lu Shipping King is particularly fond of this third daughter.

Lin Anran guessed that Lu Honghui would give up the cooperation with her, probably because she wanted to focus on the Lu family business. The Lu family was large and powerful, so Lu Honghui really didn't need to keep wasting time with her. Even if the deal failed, they still had Clivia between them, so they could still maintain friendly cooperation as Party A and Party B.

In addition to Lu Honghui, Lin Anran also received several other olive branches. There were too many people who knew the value of her business, and there were always some brave ones who took the initiative to approach her to discuss cooperation, but no one was successful.

Once Lin Anran expressed her firm refusal, no one came to test her again. For a moment, she felt much more at peace.

"You want to start a college entrance exam training class with your classmates?"

Lin Anran hadn't seen Yu Jing for a long time. After Yu Jing went to Shenzhen University, she was either in class or on the way to tutoring. Even her days off were filled with part-time jobs. But Yu Jing would send letters to Lin Anran from time to time, and the two kept in touch. Lin Anran knew Yu Jing's situation and knew that Yu Jing earned a lot from her part-time jobs, which basically covered her expenses and she could save a little money every month.

Yu Jing made time this Sunday to come and see Lin Anran. As soon as Lin Anran received the invitation, she immediately postponed her date with Zhou Heyuan. She could see Zhou Heyuan every day, but it was rare for her to see Yu Jing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Jing saw Lin Anran, she immediately shared the good news excitedly.

"Yes, the training class we run is specifically to help high school students prepare for the college entrance exam. I've been a tutor for a while now, so I've gotten to know quite a few of my schoolmates who are also tutors. After we got to know each other, we helped introduce tutoring jobs. My students' parents are very grateful to me because I helped them improve their English scores. However, I know I can tutor students because I learned it from you, Anran, when you tutored me before, and the test papers we worked on together. The questions were all very classic. Anran, I'm still receiving your help until now..."

When Yu Jing said this, her voice was a little choked. She quickly lowered her head and blinked rapidly to drive away the heat in her eyes.

Lin Anran was stunned. Seeing Yu Jing lose her composure, she pretended not to notice. She simply reached out and gently patted her shoulder, saying in a light tone, "You said you've been accepting my help, but I don't help everyone, and I don't do charity casually. You took the initiative to approach me, and you've helped me a lot. We are friends, so don't be polite. Friends help each other, it's no big deal."

Lin Anran didn't want Yu Jing to always remember the help she had given her. Fortunately, Yu Jing had made progress, so she didn't say thank you to her again, otherwise they would have become distant friends.

Yu Jing felt warm in her heart. Fortunately, fortunately she still had a friend who truly cared about her. Perhaps her life over the past twenty years had not been a complete failure.

"Okay, Anran, I won't be shy. But before I started tutoring, you let me use your English learning methods and the exercises you gave me. It's fine if I use them alone, but if I use them in the training class later, I won't be the only one using them. So I've thought about it. First, the training class will pay for your methods and exercises. Second, Anran, would you like to invest in our training class?" Yu Jing said, looking at Lin Anran seriously. "The investment is very small. Our training class is now planning to be small but fine, and try to take care of every college entrance examination candidate who comes to the training class. The college entrance examination is next year, and we have more than half a year to see the results."

"So you are here to solicit investment for your training class?" Lin Anran said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm a lobbyist, and today I'm going to try my best to convince you to invest in us." Yu Jing also nodded with a smile.

Lin Anran did not reveal her situation to Yu Jing, but Lin Anran had never concealed it in front of Yu Jing a long time ago, so Yu Jing knew that Lin Anran had made a fortune. Yu Jing did not find it strange and did not get to the bottom of it, because Lin Anran had previously given advice to their family's small workshop, which made her family a lot of money. Yu Jing was sure that Lin Anran was capable, and very capable.

"Tell me how your training class is planned." Seeing that Yu Jing was not joking, Lin Anran became serious. She could invest, but she couldn't just invest as soon as she heard about it. Even if they were good friends, they had to settle accounts clearly. She believed in Yu Jing, but she had never met Yu Jing's other partners and didn't trust them.

Yu Jing came prepared. She took out the plan and handed it to Lin Anran to read while explaining it. Lin Anran listened and flipped through the book. Yu Jing and his team were serious about the training class. They had really investigated the current situation of training classes in Shenzhen. The plan was clearly written and well-organized, and it seemed feasible.

"Are you the one who led this plan?" Lin Anran looked at Yu Jing in surprise when he saw the signature at the end.

Yu Jing smiled shyly, but then straightened her back quickly. "I consulted a lot of information and consulted many teachers. I was the main person behind the plan, and others assisted me. Everyone contributed a little."

Lin Anran stared at Yu Jing with such scorching eyes that she felt embarrassed. She did not intend to look away, but happily shook the plan in her hand and said, "It's been three days since we last met, Yu Jing. Now I really admire you. You are awesome." She excitedly gave him a thumbs up.

Yu Jing smiled happily, but she was very modest: "It's all thanks to everyone's help. I couldn't do it alone."

"No, you can do it alone." Lin Anran shook his head.

Think about how Yu Jing can become the heroine's right-hand man in the original novel, which means that as long as Yu Jing is given the opportunity, she can definitely do it, very well, super well.

Yu Jing didn't experience the hardships of the original novel, but she's already transformed, becoming incredibly brave. Perhaps it's safe to say she wasn't truly a coward. She took the initiative to attend night school for English classes while working at a state-owned factory, demonstrating her own transformation. She always claims to have received a lot of help from Lin Anran, but Lin Anran sees her helping herself. Without her resilience and forbearance, how could she have repeated a year and been admitted to Shenzhen University? Then, under pressure from her family, she struggled to break free from her small family circle and venture into the wider world.

Now, Yu Jing has made a way for herself.

"I am satisfied with you and the plan, but I need to see your other partners before deciding whether to invest." Lin Anran was very cautious. Although it was only an investment of tens of thousands of dollars, investment always starts from a young age.

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Lin Anran asked Yu Jing to show the way. Zhang Yan drove the two of them to the vicinity of Shenzhen University. Then Lin Anran met with several of Yu Jing's partners and had a serious chat with them. He found that the partners Yu Jing found had their own strengths in subjects. They were not armchair talkers and had rich tutoring experience. Lin Anran also looked at the lesson plans they brought and said seriously that they were indeed good.

Finally, after a quick check on the situations of several people, she confirmed that their character was sound. Lin Anran invested money and became the boss of the training class. She mainly invested money, while teaching and management were left to Yu Jing and others. If the investment was successful, she would wait for dividends.

"Come on, do a good job, I have high hopes for you." Lin Anran said encouragingly to everyone.

Looking at these young people making bold statements to her with excitement, Lin Anran smiled slightly. Well, she remembered how she was penniless before. Last year, she always wanted to get rich overnight and become a wealthy woman.

Now she has become a wealthy woman, a multi-millionaire at that, hehe.

You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.

Yu Jing and a few others immediately set about starting their business with great enthusiasm.

Multi-millionaire Lin Anran happily returned home. When she arrived at the door, she saw Zhou Heyuan, a tall and graceful woman, staring at her quietly. Lin Anran's head buzzed, and she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten Zhou Heyuan. Yes, they had agreed to have a good day today, and she had not only delayed the time, but also directly forgot about it. Cough cough cough -

"Heyuan, I'm back!" Lin Anran couldn't care less about anything else. She ran towards Zhou Heyuan happily and threw herself into his arms. As expected, he held her firmly. She smiled with her eyes curved. She threw her arms around his neck enthusiastically, leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Then she took the initiative to say, "Something happened suddenly. I didn't have time to tell you. Have you been waiting for a long time? I promise, there won't be a next time. Really."

Zhou Heyuan gently stroked the back of her head and said in a quiet voice, "Who was it that asked me to choose between a career and a lover?"

Lin Anran blinked innocently: "Hey, is there? Who is it? How could it be so mean? It definitely isn't Lin Anran."

Zhou Heyuan looked at his lover who had suddenly suffered from selective amnesia: "...Who did you say it was?"

"I don't know, you must have heard it wrong." Lin Anran started to fool around, but looking at Zhou Heyuan's eyes, why did she feel like she had become a scumbag?

But it doesn't matter. If one kiss isn't enough to make Zhou Heyuan have selective amnesia, then two, three... many, many times, he will definitely forgive her little trick.

Finally, Zhou Heyuan, who was fooled, said: "..."

Looking at the person who suddenly squeezed into his arms and acted coquettishly, Zhou Heyuan smiled helplessly and dotingly. He was completely in her hands.
