Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Kiss
Lin Anran put the phone back and touched her forehead. Fortunately, she had secretly practiced calling "Mom and Dad". She didn't know how many times she had practiced it. Anyway, as soon as the call was connected and she heard the voices of Lin's mother and father, she called out "Mom and Dad" like a conditioned reflex, as if it had become muscle memory.
Calling "Mom and Dad" was not as difficult as she had thought before. The main reason was that she accepted both Lin Ma and Lin Ma as elders in her heart. It was good to have the care and love of elders, so why push them away?
Lin Anran didn't know that Mom and Dad on the other end of the phone were reacting so strongly. The twins on her end were chattering to her about what happened to them at school and in the restaurant.
"Sister, I've made some great friends in my class," Lin Anli said, her whole body radiating with joy and relief as she spoke of her friends. "We eat in the cafeteria together, study together, and use the restroom together. And, sister, I mentioned that you suggested forming study groups to help each other out. I brought it up with my roommates, and everyone was very interested. Initially, it was just us in the dorm who formed a study group. Later, our grades all improved, and we received praise from the teacher. Now, several of us form study groups together, and the school's group model has spread beyond ours, with other classes following suit. We've become quite the sensation in school."
"Wow, Anli is so awesome! Are you very popular in the class?" Lin Anran didn't expect that the idea she gave to Lin Anli would bring such an unexpected surprise. She couldn't help but smile widely.
Lin Anli nodded vigorously. "My popularity is much better now than it was in my freshman year. My classmates will greet me when they see me on the street. I'm the leader of our study group."
Lin Anran noticed a little pride on Lin Anli's face and reached out to pat Lin Anli on the head. Although this girl always behaved very maturely, she was actually still a child and had a childish side. Especially compared to before she went back to high school, Lin Anli had changed a lot, mainly becoming prettier.
The twins knew that Lin Anran was looking for guinea pigs, so they volunteered to help. Lin Anran threw a lot of aloe vera gel on them. The twins had basically used everything Lin Anran made. Lin Anli was studying at school, and Lin Anhua was an apprentice in the kitchen of Guangming Hotel. The two no longer had to be exposed to the wind and sun, and now each one was fairer than the other.
Lin Anhua lives a rough life, but fortunately he loves cleanliness. As a chef, he has to maintain personal hygiene, without any fancy things. Lin Anhua wears a white shirt and black pants, looking clean and refreshing, full of youthfulness. Lin Anli studies more, and seems to have a bookish air. She has a calm personality, and in her school uniform she looks like a quiet and pretty girl.
Lin Anran recalled the first time he saw the twins. They were both dressed in gray clothes. The word "simple" was enough to sum up everything. Time is really magical. Oh, and money is also super magical.
Sure enough, money is a good thing.
"Anli, have you forgotten something you haven't told me?" Lin Anhua coughed heavily and reminded her.
Lin Anli turned around in confusion: "What else?"
Lin Anran was curious.
Lin Anhua immediately said, "Sister, I once brought food to Anli at school and saw a man accompanying Anli."
"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Anran became alert instantly, and she couldn't help but think of Chen Guangzong.
"That was a male classmate of mine. His family happened to be sending him something. We met on the road and walked to the school gate together. We discussed issues while walking." Lin Anli explained frankly.
Lin Anhua said, "Why do I feel that your male classmate has bad intentions? Is he trying to pursue you?"
"It's useless for anyone to pursue me. I want to go to college." Lin Anli said calmly.
Lin Anhua snorted: "If someone is bothering you at school, tell me and I will help you. I have a lot of senior brothers in the restaurant."
"You are the one. You should learn how to cook from Master Hao." Lin Anli advised Lin Anhua in return.
Looking at the twins quarreling, Lin Anran shook his head in amusement: "I'm not worried about either of you. I know you know your limits."
Lin Anli and Lin Anhua immediately stopped arguing and looked at Lin Anran with similar bright eyes: "Sister, I will definitely study hard and learn how to cook!"
"Yeah, they have a good understanding, not bad." Lin Anran nodded seriously. The twins have a really good relationship.
After a short gathering, Lin Anran decided to go with Zhang Yan to send Lin Anli and Lin Anhua off. They first went to Lin Anli's high school and saw Lin Anli get off the car. She met her classmates at the school gate and chatted for a few words. Then Lin Anli waved towards the car and walked into the school with her classmates with a smile.
"Sister, did you see that? There are female classmates and male classmates." Lin Anhua started to worry first.
Lin Anran held him down: "Anli knows the seriousness of the matter. You don't have to worry about her."
Even if Lin Anli really fell in love in high school, Lin Anran would not do anything as long as Lin Anli's grades continued to improve steadily. Lin Anli has a strong character and has experienced what happened to that scumbag Chen Guangzong. It is a good thing that Lin Anli did not give up on love. Rather than being afraid that Lin Anli would fall in love too early in high school, it is better to be afraid that Lin Anli would study too hard and have problems with her studies.
Lin Anran thought so and analyzed it with Lin Anhua. The twins are not children and they know what is right and wrong. After listening to Lin Anhua, he was no longer worried about Lin Anli's male classmates. Instead, he was worried that Lin Anli was studying too hard.
"Then I will bring some things to school to see Anli from time to time to let her relax." Lin Anhua said.
"You can care about Anli, but don't let it affect your work in the hotel," said Lin Anran.
Lin Anhua nodded: "Okay."
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the school. Lin Anran and the others stayed at the school gate for a while and then left soon. The car drove towards Guangming Hotel. For Lin Anhua, going back to Guangming Hotel was like going home. He got out of the car happily and went in.
Lin Anran couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Lin Anhua disappear out the back door of the hotel.
"Zhang Yan, thank you for your hard work during this period, running around with me." There was only Lin Anran and bodyguard and driver Zhang Yan in the car, and she said naturally.
Zhang Yan said, "Boss, I got a generous bonus and can go out with you. I'm making a profit."
Lin Anran originally planned to hire Zhang Yan for half a year. Later, after half a year, she had money in her card, so she continued to hire her. Therefore, Zhang Yan stayed with her all the time, mainly because she felt very safe with a bodyguard behind her.
Zhang Yan is very satisfied with this job. Lin Anran, the employer, is very generous and easy to get along with. If the job is dangerous, it was only dangerous during the quarrel between the Xue siblings. After that, everything was peaceful and Zhang Yan had basically no chance to take action. If he could keep doing this, Zhang Yan would definitely be willing to continue. Good employers are not common. Who would want to make things difficult for himself when he can work with a good employer?
Lin Anran smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to go back to your hometown this year? I'll give you a paid vacation then."
Zhang Yanxi said happily, "Okay, thank you, boss." She was happy about what Lin Anran had revealed - when she returned from her hometown, she would still be Lin Anran's bodyguard.
Next, Lin Anran went to meet Sister Pan. All the commercial properties she bought were rented out after being renovated and ventilated to remove the odor, except for the one she bought with the loan at the beginning, which was still empty.
Sister Pan probably understood the scale of Lin Anran's business, so she diligently helped collect the rent. Lin Anran paid her a salary, and Sister Pan was happy to do it. Not only could she make extra money, but she could also maintain her connections with Boss Lin. The fact that she had a membership card for Boss Lin's beauty salon was enough for her to devote herself to it. With the membership card, Sister Pan invited some people to the beauty salon, which not only boosted her reputation but also helped her develop some connections. So when she saw Lin Anran, she smiled like a flower: "Boss Lin, this is last month's rent."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Pan." Lin Anran counted the money generously. Although the rent collected was not much compared to the beauty salon, counting the money made her happy. The beauty salon's customers all paid by credit card, but only rent could be received in cash. Now she could collect more than a thousand yuan in rent every month, making her a real landlady.
Sister Pan quickly said that it was not hard. Sister Pan knew a lot of people in the Southern Garden property, and it was a very simple task for her to help rent out and collect rent. Compared with the salary Lin Anran gave her, her job was indeed very easy. If Lin Anran had not needed someone to help her collect rent, she would not have gotten this good part-time job.
After seeing Lin Anran finish counting the money, Sister Pan said, "Boss Lin, several real estate projects are about to open for sale. If you want to continue buying commercial housing, I can definitely recommend good ones to you. Prices have gone up a bit now, and I think they will continue to rise in the future. Buying early can save you money."
Lin Anran smiled and said, "Sister Pan bought a commercial property?"
"We bought it. We've been saving money for so many years, and now we can buy a bigger one in Nanfang Garden. Houses are so expensive, they have drained my family's savings. But we have finally moved out of my parents-in-law's house, and our children won't have to live in a small room with us parents anymore." Sister Pan was delighted.
Lin Anran: "Congratulations, Sister Pan. I'll take these new property flyers back to take a look. If I want to buy a house in the future, I'll contact Sister Pan."
Sister Pan: "Okay, okay."
After separating from Sister Pan, Lin Anran asked Zhang Yan to drive her to the beauty salon.
On the way, Zhang Yan asked curiously, "Are Shenzhen housing prices really rising?"
Lin Anran spoke frankly: "From the beginning of this year to now, Shenzhen housing prices have risen slightly."
After all, at the beginning of the year, the old man made a southern tour and strongly supported the opening and development of Shenzhen. Then the housing reform policy was introduced. In addition, the population of Shenzhen has been increasing, and housing supply has been in short supply. Rich businessmen from Hong Kong are keen to buy houses in Shenzhen. All these factors have pushed Shenzhen housing prices to rise slowly, and then they will rise faster and faster until the financial crisis in 1997.
Lin Anran and Zhang Yan were quite familiar with each other, so she asked directly: "Zhang Yan, don't you plan to settle down in Shenzhen?" She knew that Zhang Yan would send her salary back to her hometown to support her younger siblings' schooling. However, Zhang Yan had worked for many years and had some savings, so it would not be too stressful for Zhang Yan to buy a house in Shenzhen.
Zhang Yan explained: "When I didn't have a job, I lived in the dormitory provided by the security company. After I got a job, I lived in my employer's home. Even if I bought a house, I wouldn't live there. It's quite a waste."
Lin Anran's eyes turned and he said, "If you have savings, then I recommend you buy a house. Buying a house doesn't mean you have to live in it. You can learn from me and rent it out to earn rent."
Zhang Yan is already in her thirties, but she is still single. Lin Anran knows that she has no boyfriend and has always been single. Considering what Zhang Yan once said about being cheated in an investment, she thinks there may be some story behind this, so she didn't ask any questions.
A hint of thought flashed across Zhang Yan's eyes. Seeing that she was moved, Lin Anran did not continue to persuade her. He thought that persuading her once was enough. Those who listened to the advice could make money.
"Boss," Yuan Fei waited for Lin Anran at the door early. She followed Lin Anran to the office to report on her work. "The renovations on both stores are finishing up, and they will be ready for use at the beginning of the year. The staff have received very good training from Manager Li, and we are preparing to recruit new employees..."
While listening, Lin Anran flipped through the materials prepared by Yuan Fei. She liked simple and clear information. She was used to having Yuan Fei as her assistant. The materials were complete but not bloated. Because Li Jia's massage technique was really good, Lin Anran asked Li Jia and after getting her consent, she invited Li Jia to the beauty salon to train the staff. Of course, Lin Anran did not treat Li Jia badly. Li Jia jumped from being the manager of the hair salon to the second boss of the hair salon, who could receive dividends. Li Jia was both the boss and the manager, and he was dedicated to training the beauty salon staff. As for the hair salon, Li Jia was even more of a workaholic.
Thinking of Li Jia, Yuan Fei looked at Lin Anran, her heart burning with excitement. Unfortunately, she did not have Li Jia's family massage skills, so she could not rely on her unique skills to win. She could only work diligently.
"Boss, this is the most common suggestion made by customers. Customers, especially loyal old customers, all want to buy the products used in the beauty salon. This is the signature of the customers." Yuan Fei said that this matter is of utmost importance and must be resolved. The beauty salon has many loyal customers, but it is entirely possible to develop more loyal customers.
Lin Anran saw Wang Simei's signature at a glance, and the corners of her lips curled up. There were many familiar names, but there was a name she never expected to appear here, it was Lu Honghui. Looking again, oh, there were many people she knew but had never met, many of them were wealthy women in Hong Kong, as well as famous male and female movie stars in Hong Kong. When it comes to love of beauty, actors in the entertainment industry are definitely not to be left behind.
She has a lot of customers now, and potential customers are countless. If she opens a company selling skin care products, she will definitely have a golden goose that lays golden eggs continuously. The formula is really amazing.
"Okay, I'll consider it. Thank you for your hard work." Lin Anran put down the information in his hand and asked about the situation of the beauty salon during this period. There were no major problems, and Yuan Fei led the employees to solve the minor problems quickly and made the customers satisfied. Yuan Fei did a good job in this regard.
After a pause, Lin Anran asked, "How many times has Tian Xiaoyue, the client I asked you to keep an eye on, come to the beauty salon?"
Yuan Fei had already taken note and answered immediately, "Ms. Tian Xiaoyue got a membership card at the beauty salon through a member's recommendation. She came twice this month, once using her membership card and once at the invitation of a friend who is a business partner of Ms. Tian Xiaoyue."
Lin Anran nodded slightly and waved her hand. It was easy to get information in the beauty salon. The first requirement for employees working in a beauty salon was to keep their mouths shut. She only paid attention to Tian Xiaoyue, who had signed the contract. Although Tian Xiaoyue had nothing to do with them a long time ago and had taken a new path, this person appeared in her sight again. Lin Anran had to see if she would go crazy again. After all, Tian Yue in the original novel was a ruthless character who almost made the hero and heroine divorce and almost bankrupted their company. In particular, Tian Yue would use some unspeakable means, so she had to be on guard.
At present, Tian Xiaoyue is just a serious businessman.
Lin Anran put aside the matter of Tian Xiaoyue. She couldn't keep an eye on Tian Xiaoyue all the time. It would be better for her to work hard on developing her own career with that time.
After some thought, Lin Anran decided to launch ordinary rose essential oil and other rose-related skin care products in the beauty salon. Of course, ordinary aloe vera was not left out, and the product effects must be clearly told to all customers. It is not easy to buy rose petals in this season. Fortunately, she had previously researched the formula and bought a lot of rose petals. She temporarily hired workers to make a batch of rose essential oil, which now came in handy. As for aloe vera, there was plenty of it, and she could start producing aloe vera gel immediately.
As soon as the beauty salon launched these products, customers took out their cards and bought a lot of them. In just two days, only a small half of Lin Anran's inventory was left. This small half was saved because Lin Anran saw that customers were buying too much and urgently called for purchase limits. Otherwise, her inventory would have been reduced to zero long ago.
Lin Anran: “…” So many people actually buy such expensive skin care products. It turns out that there is no shortage of rich people in the world at any time. And, let me say it again, it is so easy to make money from rich people.
Afterwards, Lin Anran took a look at the customer intention survey form collected by the beauty salon. Wow, it turns out that not only female customers love beauty, but male customers do too. It turns out that loving beauty is human nature, regardless of gender. Lin Anran doesn't care about gender either. As long as they spend money in her beauty salon, she welcomes them all.
Although she was welcome, Lin Anran had to urge the factory to start production again. She had all the necessary procedures, so it was very convenient for her to start production. Now they mainly produced aloe vera gel and rose essential oil. It was just that rose petals were expensive in this season, but the production of rose essential oil could not be stopped because there were a lot of customers waiting to buy it.
She had rented a small factory before, but now looking at the situation, she decided to buy it immediately. There was a large vacant land around the small factory, so she bought it as well. This place is far from the city center and is in a marginal area. Of course, it will not be a marginal area in the future. Some of the vacant land does not need to be used to build factories for the time being, so she just enclosed it and planted some plants.
After Lin Anran returned to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, she was busy all the time. She was tired but fulfilled every day. Although she spent money like water, she still made money faster, so she was very busy and motivated.
“…I can’t take it anymore, huhuhuhu, I really can’t take it anymore, huhuhu…” Lin Anran lay on the wooden floor, gasping for breath, sweat pouring down his body. He didn’t want to move at all, staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.
"Let's take a break."
Zhou Heyuan chuckled and sat beside her. He raised his hand to brush away the strands of hair on his forehead and looked down at her. Compared to the disheveled Lin Anran, his hair and clothes were just a little messy. He still looked calm and composed, with a bright and sunny look. Even sitting on the ground with his knees bent revealed a special kind of elegance. The most infuriating thing was that he didn't even break a drop of sweat!
Lin Anran watched and couldn't help but grit his teeth: "How come you didn't even break a sweat? That's not fair."
Zhou Heyuan took the towel beside him to wipe her sweat. Hearing her angry words, he pinched her nose lightly and said, "You fight without any rules and use brute force, so you're naturally tired."
"What brute force? You've been teasing me. I can't even hit you with a single punch." Lin Anran said angrily. She regretted it, really regretted it. She shouldn't have asked Zhou Heyuan to teach her a few moves on a whim just because she was curious about how strong Zhou Heyuan was.
Now it’s okay, I’ve made myself so tired.
"Don't you want to learn the trick I used just now?" Zhou Heyuan brushed his forehead, feeling a little uncomfortable. He had just gotten carried away and acted too much in front of his sweetheart, which had tired her. After all, he was just an ordinary man, but now he had to make amends immediately.
Lin Anran was too tired to notice Zhou Heyuan's little move. Her eyes flickered, and she pulled his hand and shouted, "Coach, I want to learn, teach me!"
Zhou Heyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll teach you."
This time, Zhou Heyuan did not show off. He honestly taught Lin Anran some practical moves and accompanied her to practice. Only then was Lin Anran satisfied. Well, this is how a boyfriend should behave.
After Lin Anran finished her practice, she went back to her room to take a shower to calm her mind. After reviewing the situation, she immediately discovered that something was wrong with Zhou Heyuan. She cleaned herself up and came out to see Zhou Heyuan, who had also taken a shower. She looked him up and down, her eyes somewhat critical.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Heyuan calmly let her look at him, reached out and held her hand, held her in his arms, touched her head, and kissed her, making small movements non-stop.
Lin Anran continued to stare at him meaningfully: "What's wrong with my boyfriend?"
Zhou Heyuan liked her eyes on him: "Look at whatever you want."
Lin Anran suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing. Zhou Heyuan gave her a puzzled glance. Lin Anran coughed lightly, but continued to laugh: "Well, I'm just happy. I want to laugh. It's always happy to be with you."
Zhou Heyuan: “?”
From time to time she would discover some surprises in this man, but sometimes she wanted to keep these surprises to herself.
"Heyuan, you are so cute." Lin Anran smiled and suddenly said to Zhou Heyuan.
Zhou Heyuan: “?”
Lin Anran: "Hahaha, now you look so cute with a confused look on your face, haha."
Zhou Heyuan really didn't understand why Lin Anran was so happy, but he knew she was laughing because of him, and that was enough. He put his forehead against hers and asked her, "Kiss?"
"Okay, let's kiss..." The rest of the words disappeared between their lips.
