Chapter 110 Preparations for the Zhang Family's New Year
Chapter 110 Preparations for the Zhang Family's New Year
【Ding! 】
[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the title "Big Fool." It has no special effects; it's purely a compliment.]
Lu Ran's face darkened. The system really liked to mock him more and more. Wasn't it afraid that it would give him a self-destruct command?
As Lu Ran was thinking, a sudden inspiration struck him.
Did Cheng Ning's words just now imply that she agreed to move and live with him in the villa?
Thinking about it this way, he instantly understood why Cheng Ning called him a big idiot, and why the system also jumped out to mock him.
Lu Ran blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"Cough cough, what kind of weather is this? It's so bright in broad daylight."
After saying that, he turned around and got into the car.
after a while.
After Lu Ran and Bai Yongxiang finished discussing the project plan, it was already afternoon. After further discussion, they decided to proceed with the welfare amusement park project first.
Bai Yongxiang has already selected several suitable plots of land for development that are currently for sale, and is just waiting for Lu Ran's funds and for Lu Ran to make the final decision.
As for other charitable industries, such as those related to nursing homes for the disabled, we'll talk about those after the New Year.
After all, you have to eat one bite at a time; eating too fast will make you choke.
After the two of them casually found a restaurant and finished their meal, Lu Ran said goodbye to Bai Yongxiang and went back to pick up Cheng Ning from get off work.
On the way to the factory, the system suddenly displayed some status updates related to Cheng Ning.
[Company Growth Plan]
Your girlfriend reviewed the factory's orders from the past year, analyzed several strengths and weaknesses of the sales department, and took notes, preparing to implement reforms. This is truly an excellent reform plan.
[Your girlfriend took some time during lunch to read professional management knowledge, grasped some of the essence of management, and felt enlightened and much more confident.]
[Your girlfriend contacted several of the factory's long-term clients by phone at 3 PM and successfully closed one deal, boosting the factory's revenue. That's excellent.]
After a long day at work, your girlfriend feels a great sense of accomplishment. She orders afternoon tea and thinks of you as she drinks it.
Lu Ran never expected that the project proposal would also broadcast Cheng Ning's daily work routine to him.
That's great, he likes it.
The next few days.
Lu Ran spends most of her time decorating her new home.
The villa was already furnished and included some basic furniture; Lu Ran only needed to add the furniture he needed later.
It's nothing more than new bed sheets, duvet covers, and everyday items.
Lu Ran strictly controls and personally oversees the handling of these personal items to ensure they are safe and clean.
Lu Ran was also present to oversee the renovation of the gym inside the villa.
Once everything that needed to be moved was in place, all his cars were driven into the villa's garage, and his and Cheng Ning's luggage were moved into the villa.
The new home is now fully furnished and ready to move in.
And this back and forth took almost a month.
Today is the day Lu Ran and Cheng Ning move to their new home.
But neither of them held any special ceremony; they went to work or did what they were supposed to do.
As Lu Ran was trimming the flowers and plants in the garden, a Phantom drove into the villa and stopped.
After buying the Phantom and transferring the car to Cheng Ning's name, his girlfriend's charm value increased from 11 to 35. She was still a little short of 50, so Lu Ran planned to get her a few more cars and houses to boost her charm value.
The charm points are a reward that money can't buy.
However, the Lunar New Year is approaching, so we can only discuss it after the New Year.
Cheng Ning and Hu Wen got out of the car one after the other.
"Mr. Lu, I've brought your Cheng Ning back to you."
Lu Ran put down his tools and stepped forward to greet him, "Thank you, please come in and have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
Hu Wen smiled and said, "No, it's almost Chinese New Year, and I bought a ticket for today. I need to catch the train soon."
"Perfect timing, I wanted to let you know."
Lu Ran nodded: "Wait for me a moment."
Lu Ran turned and went into the villa. A few minutes later, he ran out and handed a red envelope to Hu Wen.
"Happy New Year."
"Huh?"
Hu Wen touched the thick red envelope. She wanted to refuse, but thinking that her boss had always been so generous, she reluctantly accepted it.
"Then thank you for the red envelope, boss!"
"Lu Ran, Cheng Ning, I wish you a Happy New Year."
Hu Wen addressed him by name this time, indicating that she was congratulating him as a friend.
Cheng Ning held her hand: "Be careful on the road. Send me a message or give me a call when you arrive."
Cheng Ning doesn't have many friends. She used to only have Wang Xiaoyan, but now she has Hu Wen.
Hu Wen smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now, bye-bye."
Only after Hu Wen's figure had completely disappeared did Cheng Ning turn around and look at Lu Ran.
His eyes revealed a sense of reluctance.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "What, are you leaving today too?"
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and the next few days are the peak period for most people to return to their hometowns.
Cheng Ning nodded gently: "Mm."
"Are you really leaving? When?"
Lu Ran hadn’t expected Cheng Ning to actually leave today. That’s why she moved into the villa, and she hadn’t even been inside yet!
"Right now."
"My uncle was waiting for me outside. He said he would take me to my house to pick up my mother so we could go to my maternal grandfather's house and stay for a few more days."
Cheng Ning was a little reluctant, but she had to go back to accompany her mother to her maternal grandfather's house.
Grandpa is getting old, so Mom definitely wants to spend more time with him.
Lu Ran asked疑惑地问道, "Then why didn't you invite your uncle in for a seat? Why did you have to rush?"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "My uncle said he was afraid you would be unhappy."
Lu Ran smiled helplessly, "Do I look like such a petty person?"
Lu Ran may have forgotten that when he insulted Cheng Ning's aunt, he didn't give her any face at all.
"Never mind, I'll see you out."
Lu Ran didn't ask any more questions. He took off his apron, went forward, and pulled Cheng Ning outside.
"So, when are you coming home?"
Cheng Ning asked in a low voice.
Lu Ran thought for a moment and then said, "Hmm!"
"It might take another two days."
"Oh, well, could you perhaps take a look at the factory's employee wage and benefits settlement process when you have some free time?"
Lu Ran chuckled, "That's my company. You, the acting chairman, are asking me to calculate the employees' wages? It's like you're asking me for a favor. What, do you really think the factory belongs to you?"
Lu Ran was just joking.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Ning lowered her head weakly after hearing this and said, "Yes, I'm sorry."
"Hiss...no."
Lu Ran didn't know how to respond.
He could only pat her head and say, "Go back and eat well, sleep well, and don't spend too much time reading or looking at your phone. You need to protect your eyes."
"Um."
"Call me when you get home."
"Um."
Lu Ran saw Cheng Ning off out of the villa complex, waved to Wu Qiang on the roadside, and then said to Cheng Ning, "Go on."
Cheng Ning kept looking back as she walked, taking two minutes to cover a distance of four or five meters.
After seeing Cheng Ning off, Lu Ran went back to begin preparations for returning to his hometown.
His father's biggest dream was to drive a Range Rover before he died, so on the day he won the Range Rover in the lottery, Lu Ran had already planned to drive the car back to his father during the Chinese New Year and give him a surprise.
As for my mother.
In addition to the watch, Lu Ran also went to a jewelry store to buy his mother a pair of jade bracelets.
To be honest, Lu Ran doesn't really like jade and diamonds. Capitalists have driven their prices up to the sky, and it's outrageous that a bunch of broken stones can sell for six figures or even more.
However, my mother likes jade, so even though he thought it wasn't worth it, he still picked out a pair for her that weren't cheap.
In the past, even if Lu Ran had money, he wouldn't have spent it like this; he would have bought a gold bracelet instead.
But now, whether it's worth it or not isn't that important to him anymore; what matters is that his parents like it.
