Chapter 132 The Fairy Arrives
After Wang Xiaoxia finished speaking, she noticed that Lu Ran didn't respond, just like a block of wood.
This immediately brought back memories of being ignored when she was a child.
He said angrily, "Why didn't you ask me? At least answer with something like 'And then what?'"
"and then?"
Lu Ran actually replied with that, and Wang Xiaoxia almost fainted, feeling a lump in her throat.
She let out a long breath.
He said, "Then I realized that it's hard to find someone in this world who can satisfy both of these conditions at the same time—more handsome than you and richer than you."
"Oh, thank you for the compliment."
"So, why did you wipe your mouth with my love letter?"
Lu Ran was speechless: "Big sister, I wasn't as precocious as you back then. Even if you secretly threw it in my face, I wouldn't have paid any attention. How many boys like to play with girls when they're little?"
Wang Xiaoxia pursed her lips: "So, you're not deliberately targeting me or disliking me?"
"Hmm... Although you might be angry if I say this, I still want to say that you are really making assumptions. When I was a child, all I cared about was eating and playing. It was impossible for me to hate someone I didn't even know."
In the past, Wang Xiaoxia would have been angry to hear this.
But now, she's grown up and understands many things.
Indeed, she was too sensitive and too self-righteous.
He sighed and said, "You're right, I used Void Lock on the enemy."
"Sigh, if only I had understood these principles sooner, I wouldn't have deliberately sought out rich and handsome men, and I wouldn't have been scumbags."
Lu Ran didn't respond to that sentence.
He didn't think Wang Xiaoxia's experience had anything to do with him.
From childhood to adulthood, countless girls have openly confessed their love to him by sending him love letters. If he were to acknowledge every single one of them, wouldn't that be pointless?
"Hey, Xiaoxia, what a coincidence!"
While the two remained silent, a figure appeared at Lu Ran's door.
His hair was so long it covered his ears and one eye. He wore shiny pointed leather shoes, tapered pants, and a tight sweater. If it weren't for the latest iPhone he was holding, Lu Ran would have thought he was a non-mainstream person who had traveled from the 1990s.
The person who came was Lu Jiacheng, Lu Wentao's son, whom Lu Ran had seen on his first day back home when he passed by the village entrance.
Ever since they learned that his family could afford luxury cars and run a company, the father and son had rarely appeared at their home. Unexpectedly, they came to their door again today.
Lu Ran stood up, suppressing a laugh, and pointed to the sofa.
"Jiacheng, come in and have a seat."
Lu Jiacheng pursed his lips, thinking to himself, "Jiacheng, is that what you call me? You're younger than me, you shouldn't call me brother."
In the past, he would have said it out loud, but now he can only think it in his heart.
He smiled and sat down next to Wang Xiaoxia.
Before he even sat down, Wang Xiaoxia moved to a safe distance from him.
Lu Jiacheng gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, Lu Ran, the main reason I came here today is that I need your help with something."
Lu Ran had already guessed it.
But she still smiled and said, "What is it? Tell me. I may not be able to help with big things, but I will try my best to help with small things."
Lu Jiacheng: ? ? ?
That sounds a little strange.
"Well, isn't it like this? You're going to start a company, aren't you?"
"I happen to be unemployed. Look, my dad is one of the company's shareholders. Do you think you could arrange a position for me? I don't have high expectations, just a department manager position or something would be enough."
Lu Ran remained silent.
This is what you call not having high expectations?
The company only has so many positions. I'll assign you a department manager position, but what about the others?
Everyone wants to be a leader, so who will do the work at the grassroots level?
Furthermore, those who know you will think you're here to ask for a favor, while those who don't will think you've come to issue a notice.
What are you trying to pull? The village chief's daughter was very polite and even brought something for her mother. You came empty-handed and act all high and mighty. Do you really think I have a good temper?
Lu Ran smiled faintly.
He casually picked up an orange and started peeling it.
"Xiao Cheng, your matter, well, it's not that difficult to handle."
"It's not that it's not difficult, but it's also a bit difficult."
"Specific matters need to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Of course, I'm not saying I won't do it, but rather that I'll do it gradually, with a plan and strategy. You can go home and wait!"
Lu Jiacheng's face darkened.
If he still can't understand what this means, then he's a complete idiot.
"Lu Ran, my family is a shareholder and has invested money, and this is your attitude?"
Wang Xiaoxia, who was standing to the side, shook her head.
He thought to himself, "They're all men from the same village, how come there's such a big difference between them?"
Moreover, Lu Jiacheng even went to her house to try and arrange a blind date with her, which was an insult to her.
"Look, even Xiaoxia is shaking her head. She thinks what you said is too perfunctory."
"Lu Ran, you can't be so petty."
Wang Xiaoxia quickly denied it: "No, you must have misunderstood."
"I agree with Lu Ran."
Wang Xiaoxia moved further away from Lu Jiacheng and closer to Lu Ran.
This attitude is so obvious, even a fool could see it.
Lu Jiacheng was incredibly jealous.
"Sigh, it seems your family has some reservations about you joining the company and getting profit sharing, Xiao Cheng!"
"Okay, I'll have Uncle Chang return your money tomorrow, and your family won't need to do anything anymore."
The dividends given to your family are a benefit provided by the village. Do you really think you can become a shareholder with just a few thousand yuan? Lu Ran admires people like this; they can be so stupid.
Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't speak to him in that tone.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiacheng...
He immediately became anxious.
"How could you do this? We all worked together to start this company, what gives you the right to tell us to withdraw and we have to?"
Although Wang Xiaoxia looked down on Lu Jiacheng.
But they were from the same village, and Lu Jiacheng's father and her father had a good relationship.
Wang Xiaoxia couldn't just stand by and watch this guy offend Lu Ran.
He then interjected, "Lu Jiacheng, that's enough."
"Xiaoxia, don't you also think Lu Ran went too far?"
Wang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him.
"You think you've contributed more than our family?"
"I have to go through the normal application process to get into the company. I'd be happy if I could just become a staff member. I didn't even ask to be an official."
What makes you think you can?
"I advise you to go back and ask Uncle Lu first, and have him take you to Uncle Chang, because Uncle Chang is in charge of the company's recruitment."
Lu Jiacheng suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
Then, looking smugly at Lu Ran, he said, "Looks like you're not the only one who calls the shots in the company. Since you won't help me, I'll go find Uncle Chang."
Lu Ran waved his hand: "Take care, don't bother seeing me out."
Although Lu Jiacheng was unhappy, he didn't dare to offend Lu Ran too much.
"Xiaoxia, how about we go together?"
"No, I'm having dinner at Lu Ran's house!"
"No, you don't still like Lu Ran, do you?"
"none of your business."
Lu Jiacheng's face turned pale and then dark.
She was filled with jealousy. Why? Why did all the young girls in the village like this pretty boy?
Especially Wang Xiaoxia, she's grown up to be so beautiful. I thought her tastes would change after she became more beautiful, but she still likes Lu Ran.
This kid gets all the good things! Is there no justice in this world?!
"Lu Ran, you don't like Xiaoxia too, do you? Are you two on a blind date?"
Lu Jiacheng asked worriedly.
Lu Ran shook his head: "You're overthinking it. Xiaoxia is just visiting my house. I have a girlfriend."
Wang Xiaoxia's face fell. She really wanted to see what Lu Ran's girlfriend looked like, that Lu Ran was so eager to sever ties with her.
Lu Jiacheng was delighted.
"I knew it. Xiaoxia is so pretty, she could never be interested in you."
Wang Xiaoxia glared at him, and only then did Lu Jiacheng reluctantly leave Lu Ran's house.
As soon as Lu Ran stepped out of his house, Lu Jiacheng saw a very special car parked on the side of the road. He didn't recognize the brand, but just by looking at the unique way the door opened, he knew it wasn't cheap.
More importantly, a very beautiful girl got out of the driver's seat, even more beautiful than Wang Xiaoxia.
Not only is she pretty, she's also very cute.
But it's not over yet.
Before Lu Jiacheng could even be amazed by the girl driving,
Another stunningly beautiful girl got out of the passenger seat, even more beautiful than the girl driving, a hundred times more beautiful than Wang Xiaoxia.
Especially that kind of temperament that evokes a man's protective instincts and makes him feel sorry for her, it's just too attractive.
Lu Jiacheng almost drooled.
A fairy is walking towards him? Lu Jiacheng's heart raced.
"Excuse me, is this where Lu Ran lives?"
