Brothers and sisters who are not related by blood!
Are there any serious siblings like this?
After hearing these words, Lu Zihao's eyes were instantly filled with dark clouds!
He really didn't know if Si Anbei was deliberately using this statement to stimulate him!
However, looking at the smiles in the eyes of this young man and woman, it is obvious that they are very familiar with each other! It is definitely not a temporary disguise!
Lu Fenglin chuckled, looked at Lin Ran a few more times, and said, "Young man, you are quite talented. He is full of energy."
"Uncle Lu, his name is Lin Ran." Si Anbei introduced, turning to glance at Lin Ran, the smile in his eyes could not be hidden, "He is indeed handsome, isn't he."
Lu Zihao said nothing and drank a glass of water.
Lu Fenglin smiled and handed Lin Ran a business card and said, "I also have some connections in Ningzhou. Brother Lin Ran, if you need any help in the future, you can call me directly."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Ran took the business card with a smile, looked at it, and then put it into his jacket pocket.
The title written on the business card is - Chairman of Maplewood Group.
After returning to China, Lin Ran actually heard about the Maple Forest Group, which was quite famous in the five northern provinces.
This group also started in foreign trade. Later, the business line expanded and began to involve the processing and manufacturing of mineral products. However, in the past few years, the focus of Fenglin Group has begun to shift towards real estate. After all, the money in this industry is indeed too fast. When the market
When it's good, it's almost like a money printing machine.
Of course, no matter how good the real estate business of Fenglin Group is, it cannot compare with the source crystal liquid trading channels controlled by the Lin family.
Lu Zihao finally spoke. He looked at Lin Ran's face, which was much prettier than his, and felt very unhappy. He couldn't help but said: "Anbei, you are just a freshman, don't be fooled. This
year……"
Si Anbei raised his eyebrows: "Brother Zihao, are you calling my brother a liar?"
While the three girls in the dormitory are away, Si Anbei can have a good time calling "my brother".
In Si Anbei's eyes, Lin Ran today is hers alone.
Lin Ran smiled and said nothing more, while Lu Fenglin also glared at his son: "We are all guests, Zihao, don't talk nonsense."
"By the way, I have a few local friends coming over later, and I will also introduce them to An Bei and Lin Ran," Lu Fenglin said.
For such a big boss, he keeps his attitude so low, as if he has no airs.
Compared with Lu Fenglin, Lu Zihao, the son, is a bit shallow and has difficulty controlling his emotions.
He is about the same age as Lin Ran, and is currently serving as the executive vice president of his father's group company. Due to his father's relationship, few people of his age have developed better than Lu Zihao. This guy does have the capital to be proud.
"Lin Ran, what do you do?" Lu Zihao asked.
This sentence is a bit pertinent.
Lin Ran said: "I am at Ningzhou University..."
"Still studying? Are you a student?" Before Lin Ran could finish speaking, Lu Zihao interrupted.
"No, I work at Ningzhou University." Lin Ran smiled.
He could feel the provocation in Lu Zihao's words, but he would not take this kind of provocation to heart.
"You are so young, shouldn't you be a teacher? Be a school janitor? Or be a security guard?" Lu Zihao didn't wait for Lin Ran to finish speaking, interrupted directly, and then asked.
This question seems to be getting more and more unfriendly.
Si Anbei immediately became unhappy. Just as she was about to talk about Lin Ran's recent deeds, the door to the private room was pushed open again.
Several men walked in one after another.
"Brother Feng Lin, long time no see. Your coming to Ningzhou really makes our city shine."
"Mr. Lu, Master Zihao, you will have to stay here for a few more days this time."
"…………"
The sound of greetings rang out one after another.
Lu Fenglin stood up with a smile and said: "Come on, come on, take a seat. We are all friends, so don't be so polite."
However, Lin Ran could also see that these so-called friends in the shopping mall probably did not have as big a business as Lu Fenglin, so they were a little too polite to him, and the intention to please him was obvious.
Lu Fenglin made a round introduction, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. When introducing Lin Ran, he simply said that he was Si Anbei's friend and currently worked in the university.
Then, Boss Lu lowered his voice slightly and said, "By the way, we are gathering in private. Li Xueyang, the chief executive of Ningzhou, will also come later."
As soon as Lu Fenglin said this, the expressions of several other guests showed very obvious eagerness!
Li Xueyang serves as the chief executive of a provincial capital city like Ningzhou, and can almost become the deputy chief of a certain province in the future! If he can establish a good relationship with officials of this level, it will be very convenient in the future!
Moreover, after Li Xueyang arrived in Renningzhou, he never gave much face to any business people and basically would not participate in such private gatherings. He was a person who cherished feathers very much.
The reason why Li Xueyang went to Lin Qingcang's engagement banquet before was mainly because he had received permission in advance from the general manager Xia Pengjie to attend on his behalf.
"As expected of Mr. Lu, he has a wide network of friends! After Chief Executive Li Xueyang came to Ningzhou, we wanted to invite him to dinner several times, but he was rejected."
"I had some dealings with Xueyang before when he was the deputy administrator of Huaihai Qingzhou." Lu Fenglin said with a smile, "The main reason is that we both came from the military and have some things in common."
At this time, he looked at the messages on his mobile phone and said: "Xueyang said that he had official business to deal with and would have to come over later. Let's start first."
"How about waiting? Wouldn't it be a good idea if we use the chopsticks first?" said a middle-aged man.
His name is Hu Xuewen, and he is considered a big catering giant in Ningzhou. There are several particularly famous restaurants here.
Locking the restaurant is all property in his name.
Lu Fenglin waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, Xueyang won't care. Let's wait for him while we eat."
However, even so, Lu Fenglin himself did not pick up the chopsticks.
Si Anbei was a little embarrassed when he saw so many people coming. He was afraid that Lin Ran would feel a little uncomfortable, so he whispered in his ear: "Brother, I didn't expect there to be so many people. If you feel uncomfortable, let's
Go back early."
However, her words were heard by Lu Zihao...
The latter was already disgusting, but seeing Si Anbei take care of Lin Ran's emotions, the jealousy in his heart suddenly overturned.
"An Bei, are you too concerned about your brother? We are all adults, why should we be embarrassed to go out for a drink?" Lu Zihao said bluntly, his voice was not quiet, and everyone at the dinner table was shocked.
Can hear.
Anyone with a discerning eye can probably see that the relationship between Master Lu and Lin Ran is a bit awkward.
Facing Lu Zihao's unpleasant words, Lin Ran didn't mind at all, but smiled and said: "Master Lu and I are getting acquainted for the first time. Let's have a few more drinks later."
Lu Zihao smiled slightly: "It's just what I want. I'm not a good drinker, so you have to let me drink some later."
A faint smell of gunpowder began to spread.
Before Lin Ran could answer, Lu Fenglin said with a smile: "Young people, it's normal to be a little angry. Zihao, please stop saying a few words."
Lu Zihao shook his head and looked a little ugly.
Si Anbei was a little unhappy: "Lu Zihao, if you want to fight for wine, come to me to fight. Why bother my brother?"
Lu Fenglin said with a smile: "Anbei and my Zihao are childhood sweethearts. I have always thought that these two little guys are a good match. I want to bring them together. I mentioned it to Anbei's father several times before."
"Zihao is already the vice president of Fenglin Group at a young age, and Anbei is a Yuanli major student at Ning University. They both have a bright future." Hu Xuewen agreed.
"I think it's very suitable. Moreover, Master Lu's status is much higher than that of his peers. How happy would Anbei be if she could marry Master Lu?" Another bald boss said, his name is Li Changwei.
He started in the retail business and later started to get involved in the real estate industry.
However, his words were much more direct than what Hu Xuewen just said. That sentence "far beyond his peers" directly targeted Lin Ran.
"I'm focused on studying right now, and I don't really want to fall in love yet." Si Anbei's eyes flashed with disgust, and he directly replied, "At my current age, it's really hard to talk about marriage.
It’s too early, and I don’t want others to dictate my love life.”
That Li Changwei touched his beautiful head and smiled: "Anbei, if you say this, it means you are still young and have not experienced the ups and downs of society."
If it weren't for the face of his father's old comrade-in-arms, Si Anbei might have just turned around and left.
"I understand what An Bei means." Lu Fenglin didn't feel embarrassed at all. He laughed and said: " Relationships have to be cultivated slowly, and you definitely can't become a fat man in one bite, little friend Lin Ran, don't you think so?"
He suddenly brought the topic to Lin Ran.
"That makes sense." Lin Ran pursed his lips and nodded, then gently patted Si Anbei's wrist to signal her to calm down.
It would be boring to just leave like this before the marriage is over.
Lu Zihao looked at Lin Ran deeply and said, "Come on, Lin Ran, today we meet for the first time, let's have three drinks."
The drinking style in the north is very popular, and Lu Zihao's drinking capacity is quite good. After saying this, he drank up the three glasses of white wine in front of him.
Si Anbei pulled Lin Ran a little, not wanting him to drink. However, Lin Ran smiled and drank three cups, each cup bottoming out.
When Lu Zihao saw this, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Okay, let's come again."
After saying that, he picked up the wine bottle and started pouring wine for himself.
Lu Fenglin looked at this scene and smiled, seemingly not wanting to stop him.
"I'll do it. It's our first time meeting Lin Ran, so let's drink three glasses first." Li Changwei smiled and took the bottle from Lu Zihao's hand.
"That's fine." Lin Ran said with a smile, "This is because Boss Li thinks highly of me."
As he spoke, he drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Si Anbei pulled Lin Ran's arm, and his pretty face was filled with concern from the bottom of his heart: "Brother, you should drink two less drinks. You don't need to drink so much. They are obviously..."
"I'm fine, don't worry." Lin Ran said with a smile, then he looked at Li Changwei's three glasses of wine that had not been touched and said, "Boss Li, I've finished mine, it's your turn."
Li Changwei smiled, picked up the first glass of wine, took a sip, and then put it down.
In this sip, I didn’t even drink a third of the cup!
At most, it just wets the lips!
Lin Ran's expression did not change at all, and his smile did not even disappear. It seemed that all this was expected: "Boss Li, what do you mean?"
"Although these three glasses of wine are full, I will only take one sip." Li Changwei looked at Lin Ran with a smile and said.
Lu Zihao looked at Li Changwei and immediately understood what he wanted to do. Then he turned to Lin Ran, his expression full of ridicule.
"Oh, why?" Lin Ran asked.
"Because I am giving you face by taking this sip." Li Changwei looked directly at Lin Ran and said: "In the entire Ningzhou business district, there is no one who can let me hold up the wine glass and take this sip."
several."
Lin Ran was not angry at all when he was looked down upon like this: "It seems that I should feel honored to have Boss Li raise his glass for me."
"No, I can drink this sip of wine not because of you, but because you are Master Lu's friend."
The corners of Li Changwei's lips raised slightly and he smiled, then he put his elbows on the table, leaned forward, and his smile slowly faded, saying: "What I must tell you is... some circles are not that easy.
