Why did he come here? Zhou Lin was overwhelmed when he heard the voice outside the door. This person was no easier to deal with than the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"Zhou Lin, someone is looking for you outside, why don't you go out and take a look?" Ye Li raised the corner of his lips and reminded Zhou Lin.
"No, we'll just quarrel if I go." Zhou Lin waved his hand and took his things out of the wooden box under the bed.
"How did you two meet?"
Ye Li was very curious about how Zhou Lin was related to Nie Fan.
"We were classmates in elementary school. We stopped going to school later and didn't keep in touch. Who would have thought that we would run into each other again a while ago."
Zhou Lin did not hide the relationship between her and Nie Fan from Ye Li. She told Ye Li everything he asked her.
Nie Fan called Zhou Lin in the yard for a long time, but no one came out. He went to Zhou Lin's home according to the address on the paper, but was stopped by Liu Huijuan and would not leave.
"Auntie, Zhou Lin is not at home, so I'll go back first." Nie Fan felt like a sheep walking into a tiger's den.
...
...
"Don't go, Zhou Lin should be back soon, sit down. I'll pour you some water."
Aunt Liu pushed Nie Fan down on the chair without any explanation and wouldn't let him leave, forcing him to wait for Zhou Lin to come back.
Seeing that Aunt Liu was really welcoming, Nie Fan decided to stay for a while before leaving, which would be considered as his way of worthy of Aunt Liu's warm hospitality.
Aunt Liu looked at Nie Fan, who was drinking water from a cup, with golden eyes. Nie Fan had a big watch on his hand and a leather jacket. He looked like a rich man. Nie Fan's appearance was also very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes!
"Auntie, I'd better go. It seems like Zhou Lin won't come back for some time. I have something else to do, so I won't wait for her." Nie Fan glanced at the time. It was almost noon. He planned to go to Ye Li's place and then go home directly.
"Zhou Lin will be back soon! Please wait a little longer. By the way, where are you from? How many people are there in your family? How did you get to know our Zhou Lin?" Aunt Liu asked one question after another, causing Nie Fan to frown.
Suddenly Nie Fan understood, and he immediately stood up to say goodbye. If he waited any longer, Aunt Liu in front of him would probably ask him about his eight generations of ancestors.
"Hey, don't go. What's your name? When Zhou Lin comes back, I can ask her to look for you!" Aunt Liu suddenly realized that she didn't even know the other person's name.
"No need." Nie Fan ignored Aunt Liu and walked out of the room directly, ready to go to Ye Li's house for a visit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw Ye Li and Zhou Lin coming together.
"Sister, why are you two together?" Nie Fan was a little surprised to see the two of them together.
"Why can't we be together? Huh? Why do you call me Sister Ye Li!"
Zhou Lin was also surprised when she heard what Nie Fan said. It turned out that Ye Li knew Nie Fan. No wonder Ye Li asked her how she knew the person outside. It turned out that she had known that the person outside was Nie Fan.
Ye Li looked at the two of them and laughed. It seemed that the relationship between these two people was really subtle.
"Yes, this is my sister, a sister who is closer to me than my own sister. Do you have any objections?" Nie Fan said proudly.
"What do I have to object to? Sister Ye Li is also my sister! What do you have to be proud of?" Zhou Lin looked down on Nie Fan's arrogance and started quarreling with him as soon as they met.
"Alright. Stop making trouble. Come to my house and sit down. I have something to ask you."
Seeing this, Ye Li invited the two to his room. Nie Fan and Zhou Lin entered Ye Li's room, and they sat on each side of the table, ignoring each other.
"Have tea. Are you two classmates? Why does your relationship seem so bad?" Ye Li looked at the two of them ignoring each other and always felt that there was a connection between them.
"It's true that we are classmates, and it's also true that we have a bad relationship!" Zhou Lin replied immediately.
"How can you say that? We have a pretty good relationship, right? We just had a couple of fights a while ago. You can't still be holding a grudge against me, right? I was only trying to persuade you because we're classmates.
"Nie Fan felt aggrieved when he saw Zhou Lin being indifferent to him.
"Zhou Lin, the clothes in the bag you took out today were given to you by Nie Fan, right?"
One of the reasons why Ye Li helped Zhou Lin today was because the clothes in Zhou Lin’s bag were exactly those produced in Qingshan Village.
Therefore, Ye Li had to help Zhou Lin avoid the Industrial and Commercial Bureau's search, otherwise the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau would probably follow Zhou Lin's lead to Nie Fan, who was in charge of sales, or even himself.
"Sister, I didn't give her these clothes! How could I let her sell them openly? I'm not that foolish! Fortunately, I found out early and advised her not to sell these clothes, but she got angry with me! So we had a big fight, and now she still holds a grudge against me."
After Nie Fan said this, Ye Li understood. It turned out that Zhou Lin had taken the clothes produced in Qingshan Village from somewhere else, and when selling clothes for the department store, he secretly sold the clothes produced in Qingshan Village as well.
"I'm not selling in the department store, so who would find out? I secretly tell the customers that I have products from other regular manufacturers, and then we make arrangements for the transaction outside the department store. How is this aboveboard? I also know that doing this kind of thing involves great risks!" Zhou Lin was unconvinced, thinking that Nie Fan was making a fuss out of nothing, just to prevent her classmate from making more money.
"Sister, look, she still has this idea now. The risk of you doing this is too great. If it was safe, how could you be reported? Did the Industrial and Commercial Bureau come to see you today?" Nie Fan looked at Zhou Lin with a look of disappointment.
"How did you know that the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came today? Did you report it?" Zhou Lin's face immediately turned red when she thought that it was Nie Fan who reported her. She stood up, grabbed Nie Fan's ear and pulled it hard.
"Ouch! Let go. It's been so many years, why haven't you changed your habit of hitting me? Don't think that I won't hit you now just because you took care of me and gave me food when we were in school!" Nie Fan was pulled by the ear by Zhou Lin, especially in front of Ye Li. He immediately felt embarrassed, and he raised his hand in a bluffing manner, pretending to hit Zhou Lin.
"Zhou Lin, let go. If you have anything to say, just communicate properly. Nie Fan will not report you. I promise you that!" Ye Li knew Nie Fan's character. He was a very righteous person and it was impossible for him to report someone just because they had a fight.
What's more, Nie Fan's reporting of Zhou Lin did not benefit him at all, but instead put himself in a dangerous situation.
"My sister still understands me. Let go now!"
Zhou Lin let go of Nie Fan's ear after hearing Ye Li's words. She crossed her arms over her chest, turned her back to Nie Fan, and ignored him.
"Zhou Lin, I think what Nie Fan said is right. Your approach is too risky. It's true that you want to make more money, but you must first learn how to protect yourself."
As soon as Ye Li finished speaking, Zhou Lin looked up at her with an extremely complicated look in her eyes.
