Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Busy Man
After returning home, Lin Anran was also busy. She first called Sister Pan to go to Nanfang Garden to check the progress of the house renovation and confirm that Brother Lu's decoration team was diligently decorating her house. In particular, she checked the house that had been simply decorated and was quite satisfied. After the ventilation was good, it could be rented out and the rent could be collected.
Sister Pan carefully observed Lin Anran's expression. Seeing that she was smiling, she relaxed and said, "Ms. Lin, I come to check on the renovations every day. You can ask me to come with you anytime to check on the renovations."
"With what you said, Sister Pan, I have nothing to worry about." Lin Anran shook his head slightly.
Sister Pan's smile widened a little, and she asked Lin Anran casually, "Did Miss Lin's return home go smoothly?"
Lin Anran: "I encountered some minor troubles, but it went smoothly."
Seeing that Lin Anran didn't want to talk in detail, Sister Pan turned to talk about the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, mainly about the commercial housing that Lin Anran was very concerned about, such as which piece of land was ready for construction, which company boss had bought the land, etc.
Sister Pan was very active in contacting Lin Anran. Lin Anran was definitely her number one big client. Although Lin Anran initially only bought one house in Nanfang Garden with a loan, not long after that he bought ten houses with full payment, spending more than one million without blinking an eye. It was the first time that Sister Pan met a rich man like Lin Anran, and it was absolutely impossible for her not to seize the opportunity. So Lin Anran handed the house decoration over to her, and she was particularly responsible. She really went there every day when she was free to watch the workers decorating the house. She cared more about it than Lin Anran, the owner of the house.
Lin Anran was not ignorant of the ways of the world. She knew Sister Pan was serious and responsible, so she took the initiative to invite her: "Sister Pan, can I invite you to have a cup of coffee nearby? Let's sit down and chat?"
Sister Pan nodded happily.
Sister Pan is well-informed, and Lin Anran can continue to dig out some industry news from her, especially since her second cousin Yang Liang will soon be bringing a group of people to Shenzhen to take on a construction project. Maybe the information she gets can be helpful. This is a convenient thing for her, and she can also deepen her relationship with Sister Pan and let her continue to do her best to oversee the decoration of her house.
Lin Anran will not treat Sister Pan unfairly. She will definitely pay Sister Pan some extra money that will satisfy her.
Lin Anran was interested in the land auction and had heard a lot about it from Sister Pan. After Sister Pan finished speaking, she asked curiously, "Ms. Lin, do you want to buy land?"
"I don't have such an idea for now. You mentioned land auction, and I wanted to ask about the process." Lin Anran shook his head and explained.
Sister Pan felt that Lin Anran would not ask for no reason. Maybe Lin Anran really planned to buy a piece of land. Maybe Miss Lin would even build a house and sell it!
You are so rich.
Lin Anran didn't know what Sister Pan was thinking. She said, "I have a rough-finished villa and I'm planning to hire someone to renovate it. Has Brother Lu's renovation team ever renovated a villa before?"
Sister Pan immediately perked up: "Yes, can I ask Miss Lin where your villa is?"
"In Jinyuan." Lin Anran said.
Sister Pan pinched her palms excitedly. "So it's Jinyuan Villa. Don't worry, Miss Lin. Brother Lu once took his construction team to Jinyuan Villa to take over the project. You can say that Brother Lu also watched Jinyuan Villa being built, and he also took over the renovation of Jinyuan Villa."
Lin Anran: "What a coincidence, it seems I asked the right person again."
Sister Pan: "Brother Lu's construction team has a good reputation and many repeat customers. His customers are also willing to recommend him to others, so Brother Lu's company has received more orders. I heard him say that because he is too busy, he dare not take too many orders, so he contacted a reliable worker from his past in Yangcheng, saying that he wanted to help his old worker."
Lin Anran's eyelids twitched. Although her suspicion was sudden, Yangcheng was too much of a coincidence. Her second cousin Yang Liang and his colleagues had once worked as cement workers in Yangcheng. Yang Liang and his colleagues had also been introduced to work in Shenzhen by former coworkers. If the friend Yang Liang was talking about was Brother Lu...
"Ms. Lin?" Sister Pan said several words, and found that Lin Anran was distracted, so she called her softly.
Lin Anran immediately came back to her senses and smiled at Sister Pan: "Sorry, I was distracted. I was just thinking about how to decorate the villa."
Sister Pan said, "Ms. Lin, if you have any requirements for the villa decoration, please feel free to ask. Brother Lu and his decoration team will definitely satisfy you. Brother Lu has signed up for a night class to learn design, just to decorate the house and satisfy the boss."
Lin Anran was a little surprised when he first heard it, but when he thought about how Brother Lu could gather so many people to build a construction company, he didn't find it strange at all. If he could make money by selling labor at the beginning of his business, and if he wanted to maintain that amount or even make more money in the future, he would have to use his brain.
Thinking of Yang Liang and Lu Ge, Lin Anran stopped worrying. Maybe she was overthinking it. There were many construction bosses in Shenzhen. How could it be such a coincidence? Even if it was true, it didn't matter. She would just let it go. She never intended to hide the fact that she was a wealthy woman for the rest of her life. It was too tiring to hide it all the time.
She is a rich woman, can't she do whatever she wants?
Lin Anran had hired Brother Lu's company to renovate his house, but he couldn't just change people at the last minute. Moreover, the boss of this construction company went to night university to learn how to design and renovate. This attitude alone was admirable. Lin Anran didn't know if he could change to another construction company as smoothly. Not all construction companies were as conscientious and motivated as Brother Lu's.
Lin Anran chose to follow her own heart and still handed over the decoration of the Jinyuan villa to Lu Ge Construction Company, but she had to give her a satisfactory decoration plan first. She was living in Mingyuan now, so there was no rush to decorate the Jinyuan villa and she could take her time.
After getting Lin Anran's consent, Sister Pan struck while the iron was hot and immediately invited Brother Lu to the cafe to discuss the villa decoration with Lin Anran.
Brother Lu may seem like a rough guy, but he is actually very meticulous. When Lin Anran made a request, he could immediately come up with a solution. The two sides reached a preliminary agreement on the decoration plan of Jinyuan Villa.
"Boss Lu, I just heard from Sister Pan that your company has so many orders that you have to look for external help?" Lin Anran asked with a casual smile.
Brother Lu nodded and explained, "Boss Lin, you gave us a big order. We are busy as we have other customers. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, some brothers in the company have gone home for the New Year. Some brothers haven't been home for several years. If they don't go back this year, it really doesn't make sense. It's not easy for my company to recruit people. We have to wait until after the New Year when everyone comes out to work. The brothers I called this time are friends with whom I have a life-long relationship."
Lin Anran nodded slightly, but did not ask the name of the brother whom Brother Lu mentioned as having a life-and-death friendship. Some things did not need to be rushed.
"Butler Hua, thank you for giving me a ride again today." Lin Anran got out of the car, stood in front of the door of his villa, and said to Hua Xianglan who was sitting in the driver's seat.
Hua Xianglan shook her head gently: "Ms. Lin, it's my honor to drive for you."
Lin Anran waved his hand, watched Hua Xianglan drive away, then turned and walked back home.
"Ms. Lin, you're back. Would you like to have afternoon tea?"
Lin Anran smiled and said, "Okay, thank you Aunt Zhong. Is this the little cake you just made?"
Aunt Zhong smiled and nodded: "Yes, and the milk tea you mentioned, Miss."
"That's even better. I'll go wash my hands and be back soon." Lin Anran turned around happily and went to wash his hands.
That's right, as soon as Lin Anran came back, she fired Aunt Bao and re-hired Aunt Zhong. Aunt Zhong was recommended by Uncle Wang, so Lin Anran was relieved. She no longer rejected the live-in aunt. Aunt Zhong worked six days a week and had one day off.
It's not that Aunt Bao did anything wrong, she was very conscientious, but Lin Anran had experienced the thrill of returning to Lin Village, and her neighbors were still Xue Ya and Xue Kai, brother and sister. There were people coming and going in the Xue family every day. Aunt Bao was not only the cook she hired, but also an employee of Mingyuan Property. She decided decisively to replace her.
"Aunt Zhong, was the Xue family next door noisy this morning?" Lin Anran asked. In the past few days since she came back, she would occasionally see the hustle and bustle of the Xue family, which was almost as lively as before she returned to Lin Village. The Xue family was very impressive.
Aunt Zhong: "I noticed six or seven more cars next door this morning, and then a group of people quickly left. From the sound of it, they were going to play golf."
Lin Anran: “Oh.”
When the phone rang, Aunt Zhong immediately said, "I'll go answer it."
Soon, Lin Anran took the phone from Aunt Zhong: "Boss Liu, how come you, a busy man, have time to talk to me?"
Boss Liu on the other end of the phone laughed immediately: "Boss Lin, you are a very busy man. It is really not easy to find you, let alone meet you. I have come to live in Mingyuan and prepared a small gift for you. If you are free, I will send it to you now."
Lin Anran was stunned and said, "Boss Liu, no matter what gift you give me, I won't accept it. For the Phalaenopsis, we're talking about payment and delivery."
Boss Liu laughed heartily. "Boss Lin is so forthright, but the gift I gave you isn't worth much. It's just some orchid seedlings. I'm in the orchid business, so it's easy for me to get some rare orchid seedlings. To me, this is just a small gift. Boss Lin, you must accept it. We are orchid friends, right? It's common for orchid friends to give each other orchid seedlings."
Lin Anran was tempted, but after thinking it over, she said, "Boss Liu, how about this? I'll pay you to buy those orchid seedlings. How about that?"
Boss Liu was finally persuaded, but he added, "It can only be half price. Dacai said that Boss Lin is the best at bargaining. Let's start by cutting the price in half."
Lin Anran held her forehead and said, "Okay." Cheng Dacai is a big mouth, but she didn't ask him to keep it a secret, and there was nothing to keep secret. She is very good at bargaining!
"It's a pity that I didn't bring my precious Phalaenopsis with me this time, otherwise I would definitely invite you, Boss Lin, to come and see it," Boss Liu said with regret. "Although my precious Phalaenopsis is very tenacious, I still think we shouldn't mess with it. If it gets even slightly damaged, I'll be worried and unable to sleep. Let it stay in Treasure Island. I have to finish my work here as soon as possible and go back to see my precious Phalaenopsis as soon as possible. If I delay for a day, I won't be able to see it for a day less."
Listening to Boss Liu's gentle tone of voice saying "precious Phalaenopsis" again and again, Lin Anran looked embarrassed. Well, she knew how much Boss Liu cherished that Phalaenopsis.
Boss Liu added, "I took a lot of photos of my precious Phalaenopsis orchids from all angles. These photos are specially given to you, Boss Lin. My friends who wanted photos, I was reluctant to give them to you, but Boss Lin, I am willing to give them to you generously."
Lin Anran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Thank you, I'm honored."
Later, Boss Liu, Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng delivered the orchid seedlings to Lin Anran's garden.
Lin Anran only needed to glance around to know that the orchid seedlings Boss Liu was selling her at half price were all of excellent quality. She was very happy, but also a little distressed: "All of a sudden, there are twelve more orchid seedlings. I have a lot of work to do."
Boss Liu: "Boss Lin, these orchid seedlings are all different. You can try to grow them. When you grow these orchid seedlings and they grow buds, you will make a lot of money."
Lin Anran said, "Before the money rolls in, it's more important for me to hire a bodyguard to guard the garden."
Everyone was stunned, and then nodded in agreement. Although the orchids planted by Lin Anran were only seedlings now, the situation would be different in a year or two. If each of these orchids was worth millions or tens of millions in the future, this would not be a garden, but a nest of gold.
After delivering the orchid seedlings, Boss Liu gave Lin Anran the photos of the Phalaenopsis he had brought with him, looking very precious. With a reluctant look on his face, he said, "Boss Lin, how about I give you some photo frames so you can put all these precious Phalaenopsis photos in them and enjoy them as you please?"
Lin Anran sweated a little, and said, "Boss Liu, let me prepare an album. I can just flip through it when I want to look at it."
Boss Liu thought about it and was quite satisfied. He wanted to greet Lin Anran, but Lin Anran's attention was all on the Phalaenopsis in the photo. She was attracted by the Phalaenopsis in the photo. The Phalaenopsis in bloom and the Phalaenopsis in non-blooming were completely different. The Phalaenopsis in bloom was so beautiful. She couldn't take her eyes off the Phalaenopsis in the photo, as if the Phalaenopsis really had the magic to charm people.
At this moment, Lin Anran regretted that she had not been able to see the Phalaenopsis orchid bloom with her own eyes. Photos can never compare to the real thing, but she did miss it.
"This precious Phalaenopsis is so beautiful, Boss Lin! I'm so glad I bought it from you. Luckily, you were willing to sell it, and Dacai was smart enough to call me over. Otherwise, I would have missed it," Boss Liu sighed with emotion and pride. He patted Dacai, "You are worthy of being the young man I'm optimistic about."
Cheng Dacai was also very happy. It was because of his cleverness that Boss Liu noticed him. Boss Liu returned to his hometown to visit relatives and also wanted to support his relatives. Cheng Dacai was smart and did not miss this good opportunity. Now the two of them can be said to be helping each other.
Boss Liu chatted with Lin Anran for half an hour, and spent 25 minutes talking about his beloved Phalaenopsis. Then Boss Liu wanted to return to Taiwan as soon as possible, so he left in a hurry, saying that he wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible, and he didn't want to waste even a second.
Cheng Dacai and Zeng Feng were not in a hurry to leave. They helped Lin Anran move all the orchid seedlings and asked Lin Anran to come to Cheng's house for dinner when he was free. Only then did the couple plan to leave. These two were also very busy people.
After seeing the other person off, Lin Anran was about to turn back when the Xue siblings from next door drove back. Xue Ya called out to her, "Miss Lin, long time no see. I'm sorry for what happened last time. Can I treat you to a meal to make amends?"
