Chapter 141 Zhang Yuan

Zhang Hua panted and pulled a thin and gloomy young man to An Ran. Before he could catch his breath, he introduced him, "An Ran, this is my best friend Zhang Yuan. He is very capable, really, I guarantee it with my reputation."

Zhang Yuan looked at his friend helplessly. He knew that everything his friend did was for his own good. He tidied his clothes a little and briefly introduced himself.

"Hello, Miss An. My name is Zhang Yuan. I am a native of Pengcheng. I met Zhang Hua when I was visiting Kyoto. I used to work in the Friendship Store as a manager. The reason I quit was because the leader there was incompetent and liked to manage things and appointed people based on personal connections. I couldn't carry out my work, so I left because we were on different paths and didn't want to work together."

An Ran felt like she was being warned, but if he was really capable, she wouldn't be afraid of him being arrogant.

"Then how about this?" An Ran explained the nature and goals of the company.

Then he continued, "It's a bit false to say that we are not for profit. Since we have started a business, we must make money so that we can do what we want to do or do more meaningful things. First of all, I want you to go to the bank to apply for a loan so that I can see your ability. Then the retired soldiers and some military dependents will come one after another, and you have to arrange all these. Then we will talk about the salary. I will pay you according to your ability. Before that, I will give you the most basic salary of 35 yuan a month. What do you think?"

Zhang Yuan listened to An Ran's words, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement.

An Ran continued, "I will not participate in your management, but you have to give me the results and achievements I want. I can give you a high salary, but you have to be worthy of the price. Can you do it?"

Zhang Yuan said firmly, "Boss An, don't worry. I still know a few people in Pengcheng. Just wait and see. And Zhang Hua respects you very much. I believe in his judgment."

Zhang Hua patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder happily and said, "Great, we brothers can finally work together."

Zhang Yuan also laughed, and the gloomy feeling disappeared instantly.

Afterwards, Zhang Yuan talked about the plan with An Ran again, and said that he would write down the plan and An Ran would submit it to the military region.

In the evening, An Ran chatted with Xiao Chengan and talked about today's new employee Zhang Yuan.

"Xiao Chengan, why don't you help me check him out? I've read a lot of novels before, and all the capable people are undercover agents or spies. I'm scared."

Xiao Chengan agreed with a smile.

An Ran's eyes turned, and she asked coquettishly, "By the way, there's one more thing. I want to go to Gangcheng. It happens that the construction machinery and some other things need to go there. Is that okay?"

Xiao Chengan was silent. It's really hard to say.

Seeing Xiao Chengan didn't say anything, An Ran could only whisper, "I didn't expect you to agree immediately. Besides, it's difficult to operate with your identity. I'll go to my dad. He can find a way. He agreed to let me start a company."

"Wife, you are such a slacker."

"So what? I'm the only daughter, the only child of the old An family. If Comrade An glares at me, I'll go to my mother."

Although she is already a mother of several children, An Ran knows everything about being naughty and cute.

Xiao Chengan said helplessly, "I will lobby for you here, but the key is that the relationship between the two sides is too sensitive, and you know what you are going to do. Based on my understanding of you, you will never just go and buy something."

"Hehe, let me tell you quietly, I'm going to invest in stocks."

Xiao Chengan's eyes widened, looking at An Ran in disbelief, not understanding why his wife could be so bold.

An Ran said nonchalantly, "Before, in my last life, I learned about the stocks of this period. The Hong Kong stock market will have a big opportunity in the near future, and I don't want to miss it. And I just realized that we are really poor. It will cost 7 million just to complete the construction, and that's the minimum expenditure. I do have so many gold bars in my space that can be exchanged, but they are all shady, so I want to try my best to turn the bicycle into a motorcycle."

Xiao Chengan said with guilt, "I think it's still me who is not doing my best, making you worry about money like this. I also know that you work so hard for me and for this family. You don't have to be so tired. I know your personality, and you don't like to worry about these things the most."

An Ran held Xiao Chengan's face and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, this kind of life is my choice. I just want all of us to live a better life, and then help others by the way. I also have selfish motives. But you said you are not ambitious, I disagree, you are the best husband and the best father in the world, you continue to shine in your position, and I will be a businessman full of copper odor."

Xiao Chengan sniffed An Ran's neck with ill intentions, and gently bit her cheeks and said vaguely, "Let me taste whether it really smells like copper."

"Disgusting." An Ran's eyes were shining, it was great to have meat to eat in the evening.

Chapter 142 Bloody

That day, An Ran was calculating the bills with Xiao Dasao in the store, but Wang Xixi came crying. An Ran looked at her and continued to lower her head and count without saying anything. She had zero tolerance for Wang Xixi now and didn't even have face.

Xiao's mother was there too, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Where's Jianshe? Why didn't he come with you? Why are you crying? Stop crying."

Wang Xixi started crying as if she had suffered a great injustice. Xiao's mother and Xiao Dasao looked at each other, not knowing what to do. An Ran continued to calculate the bills calmly, as if this person didn't exist.

Wang Xixi saw that An Ran had no intention of asking questions, so she cried and said, "Aunt, sister-in-law, I want to talk to An Ran alone, is that okay?"

Mother Xiao looked at An Ran, and An Ran raised her head and looked at Wang Xixi coldly, "But I don't have anything to tell you. If you have any trouble, go to Xiao Jianshe. I have no obligation to clean up your mess. If you want to borrow money, I will not lend it to you. I don't trust your character. Besides, I can't think of anything else that you want to tell me alone. I think I have already told you last time. I have made it very clear that I don't like you or even hate you. You should be more tactful. "

The resentment in Wang Xixi's eyes flashed, and then she cried softly and said, "Even if we are not relatives, we are still educated youth. I really have difficulties now, can't you help me?"

An Ran shook her head and said, "No, or you can say it out loud to make me happy."

It was the first time that Xiao's mother and Xiao's sister-in-law saw An Ran so aggressive, but they didn't dare to say anything. Xiao's mother thought that An An must have her reasons.

Seeing that An Ran was not going to listen, Wang Xixi said, "I'm pregnant."

Mrs. Xiao quickly asked Wang Xixi to sit down and said, "You are pregnant, why are you running around? Where is Jianshe? Doesn't he care about you?"

Wang Xixi said angrily, "How could this beast Xiao Jianshe care about me? I'm not pregnant with his, but he asked me to accompany someone else, so I got pregnant accidentally."

This was a lot of information. An Ran was stunned and felt that she thought the couple were really playing tricks.

Xiao's mother was shocked and said, "How is this possible? What kind of thing is this? Old family, go call the eldest brother and see if you can find Xiao Jianshe and ask him to come and see what's going on?"

An Ran still didn't say anything, and Xiao's wife also came back to her senses from the shock and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll go now. Why don't we just not open the meeting today? It's so chaotic."

An Ran suddenly became irritable, and then said seriously, "Sister-in-law, ask your eldest brother to call your second uncle and ask them to come and tell him about this. We don't know how to deal with it. It doesn't make sense for relatives from the next room to deal with these bullshit."

Wang Xixi screamed, "No, An Ran, why are you so vicious? I came here today to... I was thinking that you would give me money to abort this evil child, and then let me stay at your place for a few days. Not only did you not lend me the money, but you also made me lose face in my hometown. You are really bad. "

Mother Xiao also said angrily, "How can you talk like that, kid? We have done everything we can for your matter. What else do you want? You did it yourself, and you still want us to clean up for you? Where does your face come from? I am just your aunt, not your mother. You understand it clearly."

An Ran sneered and said, "Wang Xixi, you have a good plan. Do you want my family to pay for the nutrition? People must know shame to be called human beings."

Before Brother Xiao went to find Xiao Jianshe, he came by himself.

Xiao's mother asked preemptively, "Wang Xixi said she was pregnant. It's not yours, but you instructed her to do it. What do you think?"

Xiao Jianshe was a little embarrassed and didn't say anything, but just looked at Wang Xixi fiercely. Wang Xixi shrank back and hid behind Xiao's wife.

An Ran said to Xiao Jianshe, "I don't care what bloody things happened between you and Wang Xixi, but you keep annoying us like this every now and then, which really makes me feel unlucky. And I will let someone inform my second uncle. Things like you have exceeded the cognitive range of normal people. I hope you can understand."

Xiao Jianshe's face turned red and white, and he explained stiffly, "It's all misunderstanding. Wang Xixi has some mental problems recently. She always says that this child is not mine. How can it not be? She just drank too much that day and lay with someone else. I was there at the time. Nothing happened. She is just too sensitive."

Wang Xixi shook her head frantically and denied, "Xiao Jianshe, you are not a human being. I want to divorce you. You are a devil."

Chapter 143 Crazy

Xiao Jianshe looked at Wang Xixi who was screaming crazily with a gloomy look, and then patiently coaxed her softly, "Xixi, what's wrong with you? Didn't I explain everything about that day? And you are pregnant with my child, be obedient, don't hurt yourself."

An Ran really wanted to beat Xiao Jianshe for being such a scumbag, but when she thought about it, such a scumbag was a perfect match for Wang Xixi.

Xiao's mother frowned and said, "Jianshe, I don't know what happened between you two, but I still have to inform your parents. I can't let this blame me. You can explain it to them when the time comes. Jianshe, you are not a child anymore, you can't be so unreasonable, understand?"

Xiao Jianshe listened to Xiao's mother's nagging impatiently. Then she said, "No need, auntie. I'll say it myself. I plan to let Wang Xixi go back to her hometown for a while. She's not very mentally stable now, and my business is just getting on track. I'm really too busy to take care of her."

After hearing what Xiao Jianshe said, Xiao's mother had to say, "It's good that you have this idea, but you still have to take good care of Wang Xixi. After all, you're pregnant."

Xiao Jianshe nodded to show that he understood, and Wang Xixi continued Screaming loudly, "I don't have any mental problems at all. It's all this beast who raped me and then kept a mistress. At first, he asked me to help him with socializing and attract business for him. Now everything is fine and he has made money and wants to get rid of me. Bah, Xiao Jianshi, you are dreaming. I want to divorce you and bite off a piece of your flesh. Just wait." After saying that, he ran away without looking back. Xiao Jianshi's face turned completely black, and he followed him without saying hello. Xiao's mother sighed, "What a sin this is." Then she went to coax Feifei. Xiao's wife whispered to An Ran, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect that Xiao Jianshe, who looks innocent, is actually such a person. Wang Xixi is not a worry-free person either. The couple also had a fight. How did they get together?"

An Ran shook her head and said nothing.

An Ran felt that the male and female protagonists really lowered their moral bottom line again and again, which was really unbelievable. In the original book, they were representatives of self-motivation, which made many readers praise their positive energy, and they were also very sweet when they got along. But why was the story changed like this? For a while, she was a little dazed.

After returning to the family compound in the evening, the children had finished their meal and ran out to play. Only Xiao's father and mother, An Ran and Xiao Cheng'an were left at home.

Xiao's mother told what happened during the day, and then looked at Xiao's father and Xiao Cheng'an, waiting for them to make a decision.

Father Xiao rubbed his hands silently, not knowing what to say. He had been an honest man all his life and had never experienced such a thing.

Mother Xiao said, "I still want to inform my second brother and sister-in-law. You also know the character of my sister-in-law. If they blame us in the end, I will feel wronged for our family. Besides, today I saw that Jianshe was a little bit wrong. It made me a little scared. Let's tell them."

Xiao Cheng'an glanced at An Ran, and An Ran nodded heavily, indicating that such a bloody thing happened today.

Xiao Chengan was silent, then said, "How about this, I'll check what's going on. If it's too serious, I'll ask my second uncle and second aunt to come and solve it. If it's just the couple being upset, then we'll just say it, what do you think?"

An Ran didn't think it was a big deal, why should she get involved, their problems kept coming one after another, it was so annoying. And why should she clean up after them?

Xiao Chengan saw An Ran's unhappiness and patted her hands soothingly. An Ran rolled her eyes at him.

Xiao's mother said worriedly, "It has to be like this. We really don't have any worries at all. It's just that their family is annoying. I thought I could avoid the trouble by staying away from them, but who knew they would come here. It's these tactless relatives in your family who are so annoying."

Xiao's father, who was scolded, didn't dare to say a word, and continued to rub his fingers with his head down. Xiao Cheng'an didn't dare to help and persuade him. Years of experience told him that at this time, the damage value was his.

An Ran looked at the frightened Xiao Cheng'an, and couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Cheng'an with An Ran's eyes, and then said angrily, "Just like your useless father, you are not like me at all."

Okay, he shared some of the firepower. As a son, he also did his best.

Father Xiao: "............" Listen to me saying thank you, because of you.

Chapter 144 Confirmation

An Ran didn't care about Wang Xixi anymore. Xiao's mother still wrote a letter to her second uncle and aunt, informing them of Xiao Jianshe's situation. She said that she didn't know the details, but Wang Xixi's pregnancy should be true. They should come to see what's going on.

An Ran took the 1 million yuan that her father gave her in gold bars and the 2.6 million yuan that Zhang Yuan borrowed from the bank, and set up a stall. She felt that she was the richest kid here. She was just proud.

But when she thought of the pressure of monthly repayments, she sighed heavily.

She went to ask An's father to go to Hong Kong City, but An's father sternly refused, "Put your mind back, I turned a blind eye to the gold bar matter before, but now you want to go to Hong Kong City, your heart is too wild. No, I can't let you go, you are blinded and don't come back, who can I cry to?"

Humph, stinky old man, forget it, she will go to her mother.

An's mother asked An Ran, "Tell me the truth, is it just that simple to buy something?"

An Ran said shyly, "Of course, I just want to take a look, I don't think about doing anything. It's true, it's more real than gold."

An's mother pondered for a while and said, "Okay, Mom will do it for you. You can leave almost next month, but you have to take a passenger ship, and then you have to go back with this person, the things and machines you bought."

An Ran happily hugged An's mother and said loudly, "Mom, I love you, but what about Dad? He doesn't agree."

An's mother said confidently, "Leave it to me, I can still handle your dad."

In the end, no one knew how An's mother persuaded An's father, and An Ran's departure time was set ten days later.

Xiao Chengan and An Ran whispered to each other, "Mom and Dad are still very capable. I asked about going there before and was scolded. Don't mention it. Your husband has never been scolded like that in his life. Also, the goods can be guaranteed to pass smoothly at the export. Mom and Dad are really capable. There are big things to say about it."

An Ran glanced at Xiao Chengan and said, "When your wife brings back a lot of money, you will know that your wife is also capable."

Xiao Chengan nodded in admiration.

An Ran began to prepare for the trip to Gangcheng. Talk to Zhang Yuan and Zhang Hua.

"I'm going to Hong Kong City. This time I'm going to take Zhang Hua with me because I need someone to buy things and machines. These require people who know these things. What do you two think?"

Zhang Hua said happily, "Really? I can go to Hong Kong City, but it's not the kind of smuggling."

An Ran nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's a formal channel, but it will take some time. Do you have any problem with it?"

Zhang Hua said excitedly, "Of course, no problem. I didn't expect there would be such a good thing."

Zhang Yuan looked at Zhang Hua enviously, and then looked at An Ran eagerly. An Ran had to comfort him and said, "This time, Zhang Hua is brought because he knows the technology. Next time, I will definitely take you."

Zhang Yuan said to An Ran seriously, "Then we have an agreement. We can't go back on our words."

An Ran nodded in agreement.

"Also, I handed your plan to the military region, and they will also let those soldiers who need work come to Pengcheng one after another. I will leave you some funds, you should make arrangements, and you need to see if there are any talents among them who can help you, you should take care of them more, as for them, you can arrange them to learn to build houses or something, and you can arrange the rest. And the cleaning work can also be operated. After Zhang Hua and I come back, we will do a big job."

The three of them have expectations and confidence in the future.

Before An Ran left, she coaxed the children during the day, talked to them about the reason, and then explained why her mother had to go away, and comforted Xiao Chengan at night.

An Ran felt that she was like an emperor with three thousand beauties in the harem, and she was treated equally every day.

Xiao Chengan, this little devil, is not as easy to fool as a child. He is the hardest to coax.

He paid a great price, and also had to promise to write to him every day, and then bring it back for him to check and other unreasonable requirements.

He died peacefully.

Chapter 145 Antiques

During this period, An Ran began to collect jadeite jewelry frequently. She knew that people in Hong Kong City cherished these things. If they were antiques, it would be fine. Who knows which country these good things will end up in? She didn't want to do that.

Zhang Yuan knew that An Ran was collecting jadeite, so he found An Ran and said, "Boss, I know where you can find what you want, but he only wants gold bars."

An Ran looked at Zhang Yuan in surprise. She didn't expect Zhang Yuan to have such a wide range of connections.

Then he asked, "Is it from a legitimate source? I don't want those dirty things from underground."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell you about those local thieves' goods. They are all top-notch goods. And how should I put it? Their family is a well-known family in Pengcheng, but their descendants are incompetent. If they want to squander, they can only sell their ancestors' things. And they are going abroad, gold will be better."

An Ran nodded in understanding, and then asked Zhang Yuan to arrange it and complete the transaction before she left.

Zhang Yuan was very efficient and notified An Ran to go and see the goods on the third day.

An Ran followed Zhang Yuan to a villa with a sense of age. She could feel that they were a family with a solid foundation.

Zhang Yuan sighed and said, "It's ruined. The Chang family was once the richest family here, and Mr. Chang was also a well-known figure. What a pity."

An Ran asked curiously, "Zhang Yuan, how do you know these people?"

"I used to work in the Friendship Store and knew some losers. It hurts to see them sell good things at low prices without blinking, so... I... hehe..."

An Ran felt respectful at this time. What a talent. Then he raised his thumb to Zhang Yuan to express his admiration.

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded.

When they arrived at the place, they saw a middle-aged man in a suit with a pale face. At first glance, he was a playboy who was hollowed out by wine and meat.

But when he saw Zhang Yuan, he greeted her warmly, "Brother Zhang, I'm glad to see you. Where have you made your fortune recently? I got your message, but I'm saving all the best products for you. Who is this?"

Zhang Yuan stepped back and introduced, "This is my boss, Ms. An. Boss, this is Mr. Chang."

An Ran smiled and greeted her and got straight to the point, "Mr. Chang, I'm honored to meet you, but I really don't have enough time, so let's just look at the products. What do you think?"

Mr. Chang laughed, "Ms. An is really... She is a heroine, and she does things straightforwardly. OK, follow me.

An Ran glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then Zhang Yuan said, "Boss, I'll wait for you here. You can take your time to choose, and the gentleman will come to pick you up in a while."

Then An Ran and Mr. Chang entered the collection room. Mr. Chang did not dare to underestimate An Ran, because he knew Zhang Yuan well. He was a very smart person. The boss who could make him so respectful must not be an ordinary person. Although everyone called him a second-generation ancestor, his ability to judge the situation was really unmatched.

Mr. Chang took out a palm-sized jewelry box and opened it for An Ran to see.

What caught An Ran's eye was a turquoise jade bracelet, which made An Ran stare at it. An Ran also quickly adjusted his mood, and then asked, "What else do you have? I hope Mr. Chang can take them out. If I like them all, I will give Mr. Chang a satisfactory price."

Mr. Chang was overjoyed when he heard this, and then put down the jewelry box in his hand and took out a larger jewelry box, about the size of a shoe box. The jewelry box alone can feel extraordinary.

Mr. Chang said, "My ancestor was the highest official of the first rank. These are gifts. I also saw that Ms. An really liked them, so I reluctantly gave them up."

An Ran didn't say anything, and waited for him to open the jewelry box coldly.

Mr. Chang saw that An Ran didn't respond to him, so he had to open the box. There was really a dazzling array of things, even court beads, each of which was huge and shiny, and there were more than a dozen pairs of jade jewelry, but the water head was not as good as the first one.

An Ran played with them one by one, and then said to Mr. Chang, "Mr. Chang, these things are a little different from what I expected. Only the first jade bracelet is worthy of attention. The rest are not what you call top-notch items. They are all very ordinary things."

An Ran put down the things in her hand, looked straight at Mr. Chang and said, "I hope Mr. Chang will not be selfish. I bought them sincerely for myself and will leave them to my children in the future. Take out the good ones for me to see. If there are antiques, I can also take a look. My husband only likes these."

Chapter 146 Harvest

Mr. Chang pondered for a moment, then hardened his heart and turned around to take out a larger box.

An Ran "........" Are you playing nesting dolls with me here?

After opening it, An Ran suddenly understood Heshen's happiness. It is really hard not to love jewelry and antiques.

Mr. Chang said with a wry smile, "These are really the last things. All my family assets are here. I thought I would leave some tricks for myself, but Ms. An, you are a knowledgeable person and you should not lower my price. So if it is suitable, I will sell them all."

An Ran ignored his implication and just smiled and said, "Mr. Chang, give me a package price. I mean all of them, everything I saw today."

Mr. Chang didn't expect An Ran to really ask, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Eighty gold bars, no less."

An Ran shook her head and said unhappily, "Mr. Chang, you That's not honest. The price of gold bars is very high now. There are still few people who like these jade pendants. It's still difficult to find a suitable buyer in the short term. I think you have been in contact for a while, otherwise you wouldn't have waited for me to come. So the price is high. "

Mr. Chang smiled bitterly and said, "Ms. An, I have no choice but to sell my property. Why don't you do a good deed today?"

An Ran said with a smile, "Mr. Chang, I am a businessman. I don't have any kindness. Fifty gold bars is my bottom line. If it doesn't work, I won't take away someone's favor. "

Finally, after a lot of discussion, Mr. Chang was defeated and packed up all the things with fifty gold bars.

An Ran smiled secretly, "I've made a fortune. If I take these things to Hong Kong City and resell them, the price will be several times higher. But who will let her have the space? These are essential items for home travel, storage and transportation. "

Zhang Yuan looked at his boss's happy face and Mr. Chang's bitter face. What else did he not understand?

An Ran told Zhang Yuan to transport the things to the house of Aunt Xue that she had bought before. She had already used it as her residence. Occasionally, she would buy some things and have them transported there to conceal her identity and to make it easier for her to put things in the space.

This time was the same. An Ran looked at the things that had been transported to the house again. They were really beautiful, but she still selectively chose some relatively not very good jadeite, which she would sell when the time came and then go stock trading. In this way, even if she was found out, there would be no way to investigate further. Perfect.

But the fifty gold bars still made An Ran feel painful for a long time. Her father had exchanged some of them for the current ones. Gold, I wasted so much today, but seeing that there were less than a hundred gold bars in the space, An Ran recovered again, she was still very rich.

I took a rib and pig's trotter from the space, ready to go home and make some delicious food for everyone, and also prepare some seafood, I haven't eaten for a long time, I will buy some roast duck later, the children were still complaining about being greedy a few days ago.

An Ran took the big and small bags of things and went back to the family compound. The military wives greeted An Ran warmly when they saw her, hoping that An Ran would think of them when hiring people. An Ran responded to other people's questions and temptations with a smile, and didn't say much.

An Ran's neighbor Zhang Jiaxing's mother saw An Ran and greeted her with a flattering smile, and then said, "An Ran, is your thing too heavy? Auntie will help you carry it. "

An Ran said coldly that it was not necessary.

Aunt Zhao secretly hated An Ran for not raising her head, but still smiled and said, "Aunt, I had a misunderstanding with you before. It was because I thought too little and had no brains that made you unhappy. You see, you are a big man and don't hold grudges against me. Don't bother with me, okay?"

An Ran heard this and realized that someone had taught her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say such high-level words..

Continued to say coldly, "Aunt, we are neighbors. There is no question of forgiveness or not. As for what you want to talk to me about today, I won't ask. You, don't ask, what's the matter? Let your son go to find my wife. It's better for us not to have any disputes. It's best if you don't call me when you see me on the road in the future. This is the best understanding for me. "

An Ran will never forgive them. They came to rob her of her peace and happiness during her pregnancy. She was just holding a grudge and didn't whisper anything. She was rational and kind, but they had the nerve to talk to her again.

She knew their purpose. Wasn't it just to arrange a job for her? She was dreaming. She was the first one to disagree with such a troublemaker.

Chapter 147 Departure

Finally, the day of An Ran's departure came. The children actually wanted to take a leave from school to see her off, but An Ran stopped them sternly and said that their mother would bring gifts for everyone, but the premise was that she would hear from their grandmother whether they were good children. Whoever was a good child would get an extra gift.

Several children said loudly that they would be good and take good care of their sister at home.

In the car, Xiao Chengan saw An Ran off, but he looked reluctant and kept turning his head to look at An Ran while driving.

An Ran gently stroked Xiao Chengan's palm with her fingers, and when he looked over, she blinked.

Xiao Chengan smiled bitterly and whispered, "Don't bother me, or I won't let you go."

An Ran immediately sat down obediently and stopped making small movements. Xiao Chengan held An Ran's hand tightly and began to explain in a nagging manner. An Ran nodded in agreement throughout the whole process, with an attitude that she was just going to take a look and would never cause any trouble. Finally, Xiao Chengan let her go when they arrived at the place.

"You have to take care of yourself. Mom and Dad are busy and can't send you off. They asked me to bring you a few words to remind you to be careful. There are also some gray areas there, so you should pay attention and try not to touch them. If you have any problems, find these people. The addresses are written here. I will take good care of the children. I will wait for you to come back at home." After saying that, Xiao Chengan handed over a note.

Finally, An Ran and Zhang Hua reunited, and got on the boat with the staff who were traveling with them. They looked at Xiao Chengan standing at the dock for a long time from a distance before turning around and leaving.

An Ran felt a little uncomfortable. It was the first time she left her lover and children to go out. She regretted it before the boat went far. What on earth was she trying to achieve? She had everything, money, material and status. What on earth was she struggling for?

She could have lived a comfortable life. She had taken care of the children and Xiao Chengan before, and she was happy writing articles. So what changed and what was her original intention?

Maybe she saw many people struggling at the bottom, or maybe Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang gave her a generous reward for her hard work.

Maybe she felt that her rebirth and having space were already good fortunes, and she also found a lover with the same ideals and had a group of cute and well-behaved children.

She thought about doing some good deeds to give back to the world, so that her trip would not be in vain and she would be worthy of receiving so many blessings.

After the boat had sailed for an unknown period of time, the port city's pier gradually became clear. An Ran looked at the unfamiliar land in front of her and was a little eager to try. It was time for her to show her skills.

After arriving at the place and getting off the boat, Zhang Hua asked An Ran, "What should we do next?"

An's father had told her earlier that the domestic staff would take them to the place and they would not take care of food and accommodation.

But fortunately, An Ran could speak a little Cantonese in her previous life and was fluent in English. She said to Zhang Hua, "Let's find a place to stay first, then go to eat, and then ask where to buy things."

Zhang Hua knew nothing except professional knowledge, and listened to An Ran throughout the whole process.

An Ran used authentic Cantonese to find out a hotel with a good value for money, and then An Ran took Zhang Hua to check in.

An Ran skillfully chatted with the front desk, and learned about nearby places to eat and some shopping malls with discounts.

Zhang Hua was stunned by the boss's operation, and suddenly felt that he was still young and needed experience. When he was shocked by the life in Hong Kong City, the boss had quickly entered the social mode. It was really admirable.

An Ran entered the room proudly with Zhang Hua's admiring eyes.

Then she said to Zhang Hua, "Please pack up and meet me in the hotel lobby in an hour."

An Ran finally saw bathing equipment for the first time in this era. Finally, she didn't have to shrink in a space and take a bath carefully.

She took a good bath, put on some light makeup, found a professional suit, and when it was almost time, she went out to eat beautifully.

When they arrived at the lobby, Zhang Hua was already waiting there. An Ran asked him to go with her to the tea restaurant that the front desk staff had just introduced.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhang Hua whispered, "The development here is really better than our place. No wonder so many people want to come here. It feels free. Yes, it's freedom."

An Ran said indifferently, "Although this city is so beautiful, she will return sooner or later. This is a place she can't give up."

Zhang Hua's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he said affirmatively, "Of course, I will come back."

Chapter 148 Good Luck

An Ran chatted with Zhang Hua while eating, talking about importing machinery and finding sources for some building materials.

Zhang Hua said distressedly, "We came here without any introductions from people we know, and we are completely in the dark."

An Ran thought of the note given by An's father. In fact, she didn't want to trouble others unless it was absolutely necessary, but she could only stay in Hong Kong for one month, and there were many things to complete in such a short time, so she had to ask for help.

At this time, the man at the table next to her, who spoke in Northeastern dialect, said, "Sister, brother, are you from there too? You just arrived, what are you doing here?"

An Ran glanced at the person who was speaking, a man with a simple appearance but a gleam in his eyes.

An Ran smiled and said, "Yes, I want to buy something."

The man pulled a chair and sat down, and said enthusiastically, "I just heard Mandarin here, I'm so excited. I've been here for ten years, and I don't know the situation over there. What's going on? Tell me quickly."

An Ran "........" It's really not a lie that people in Northeast China are all community bulls.

Zhang Hua started chatting with the eldest brother, and then mentioned the purpose of this trip in his words.

The eldest brother named Zhang Haodong slapped his thigh and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? My family is engaged in real estate engineering. Tell me what you need and I can get it for you at a low price. Also, if you have any problems in Gangcheng, just tell me. I can solve all the problems, but I still know a few people in the underworld."

Zhang Hua hurriedly thanked him, but An Ran was skeptical. Is it really such a coincidence?

Zhang Hao said casually, "Oh, the old man in my family has been talking about that place, thinking about when to go back to his roots. He has made enough money in Gangcheng, so he wants to go back. When I go back, I will go to drink with you."

What convinced An Ran was that Zhang Hao said he was from Jicheng, and he was actually from a village near Qingshan Village.

When An Ran said that her husband's family was in Qingshan Village, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a hoarse voice, "I really miss home, even in my dreams. When I first came here, I thought I had to make money and go back. I don't know what happened to my brothers. I was still in my twenties at that time. After escaping, I came here by chance. Who knew that I would stay here for ten years. It's all old news. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Where are you staying? I will find you tomorrow and show you the equipment. I know someone. If it is shipped away, I can also find someone." Zhang Hua hurriedly thanked him and told the name of the hotel. Zhang Hao settled the bill, and then said generously, "Actually, I should have invited you to my home. The friends I met in Northeast China don't have a job at home, so if we go out, people will talk about it. But your sister-in-law can't cook, so it's better for me to treat you to a meal tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Zhang Hao and returning to the hotel safely, Zhang Hua said with a lingering fear, "This Zhang Hao is really too familiar, but he is really a righteous person. Just two sentences helped us a lot. But An Ran, do you think he is a liar?

An Ran smiled and said, "What are you trying to deceive us about? I will go and ask about it later. Zhang Hao just said a lot of information. We can find out if it is true by asking. It is better to be careful."

Zhang Hua nodded, and then asked, "Shall I go with you?"

An Ran refused of course. She wanted to go shopping properly, so why did she come to a small tail? She said, "You can walk around the area. I have something to do."

After An Ran went out in the afternoon, she first went to ask around the place Zhang Hao mentioned. She really didn't expect that Zhang Hao was a well-known person. Many people knew about him nearby, and many people spoke highly of him. Most of them were generous and helpful.

An Ran was relieved now, and then she could start looking for company agents in the remaining time.

Yes, An Ran's idea is to set up a company in Gangcheng, which will save a lot of trouble later, but talents are hard to come by.

An Ran walked on the streets of Gangcheng, and all kinds of people were dressed in bright and colorful clothes, and some girls even wore short skirts. It can be seen that the degree of openness here is incomparable to their place. In a trance, An Ran felt as if she had returned to her last life. She showed a nostalgic expression and decided to buy a lot today.

An Ran had heard from her grandmother before that there was a kind of Angong Niuhuang Pill sold in Gangcheng at this time, also known as the life-saving pill. If there was an accident, taking it immediately and going to the hospital could save lives. Grandma regretted that it was no longer available on the market, and she thought she should stock up more now.

Chapter 149 Watch

I found a certain hall and went in. I asked the counter if they had this medicine. The counter staff said enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, miss, how much do you want? This is not very cheap. It costs 60 yuan per pill."

"How much do you have? I am also buying for others." An Ran said with a smile.

"There are ten pills, but because our store is the head office, we have more in stock."

An Ran said generously, "Pack them all for me. By the way, do you have any other commonly used medicines to recommend?"

The counter staff introduced, "Tian Xi Pills can treat dysmenorrhea and are beneficial for pregnancy. Bao Wei Dan and Bao Xin An are all commonly used medicines, and Bai Hua Oil, etc. I think you can buy some."

An Ran packed up everything the counter staff introduced, and only stopped when he had spent a lot of money, and asked about nearby places where he could see antiques, and then left with a lot of bags.

She found a deserted corner to put the things in the space, and then walked towards the antique street. She felt that she had foresight and knew that she could not go back so early, so she gave the money to Zhang Hua and let him solve the problem of eating. In this way, she would not have to worry about it.

Arriving at the antique street, the noisy scene came over her. An Ran walked in it, looking at the things placed on the ground on both sides of the road, and the sound of antique dealers soliciting customers. Everything made An Ran dazzled.

The antique street in the previous life was actually a little lonely. Everyone knew that there was no bargain at all, and no one bought it at the stalls. But now most of them are genuine. It's a pity that she doesn't understand it very well, otherwise wouldn't she make a fortune?

"Boss, take a look at this ancient jade. It's really a good thing. It's from the Guangxu period. It's a real good thing. I won't show it to anyone else."

At this time, a voice attracted An Ran's attention. She looked at the jade in the vendor's hand. The quality was deceptive. The water head was good, but it was a bit inhuman to say that it was an ancient jade.

An Ran casually scanned the stalls and was attracted by a watch in a box. If she was not mistaken, it should be an 18k Patek Philippe from 1946. An Ran remembered that Jia Mou had to bid 9 million yuan in the previous life, and the upper limit was even more amazing.

An Ran calmly picked up a worthless watch next to her and asked the stall owner, "Boss, how much is this? Don't frame me, this is just a second-hand watch that's worthless."

The stall owner was choked. He knew that the watch was worthless, but he felt uncomfortable if he didn't take it away. He said meaningfully, "This is an antique watch. I bought it from a poor British man. It's a foreign brand. You will feel proud if you buy it and wear it."

An Ran watched the stall owner perform expressionlessly , and then said "10 yuan."

The stall owner said sadly, "The price has not been raised yet, I can't sell it, sister, how about you add a little more?"

"I will buy three pieces for my family for ten yuan, or I will look around, I see other stalls have them, some are even newer than yours."

The stall owner said beggingly, "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, you choose."

In this way, she spent 30 yuan to buy three watches, Patek Philippe, and continued to shop with joy.

She wanted to find a reliable store, and poured out the jade in her hand. As she walked, she came to the door of a store in Park Lane. This store is very large, and there are many local people coming in and out, which shows that the reputation and service are good.

After An Ran entered the store, a waiter came up to her and asked, "Hello, miss. What do you want to buy or sell, or do you need an appraisal? Mr. Zhong is on duty today. It would be a great honor if he could help."

This immediately piqued An Ran's interest, and she said to the waiter, "I need to appraise something. Please lead the way."

"Okay, miss, please come this way." The waiter gestured and led the way.

"Mr. Zhong, there is a lady who needs an appraisal. Is it okay now?"

An old voice rang, "Come in."

Chapter 150 Appraisal

The first thing that caught her eye was an antique shelf filled with antiques of unknown age. An Ran felt that they would be very valuable in the future. Forgive her for being a layman who could only think of money.

Mr. Zhong was also looking at An Ran. He didn't expect that the person who needed appraisal was actually a little girl, but he still smiled and said kindly, "Little girl, what do you need to appraise? Antique porcelain or jade. Or a rare calligraphy or painting."

An Ran felt that she was still immersed in Mr. Zhong calling her a little girl. It was true. How could there be such a kind and amiable old man in the world? He was really discerning.

Old Zhong looked at the girl in front of him with shining eyes and asked again, "Little girl? What do you want to identify?"

After An Ran came back to her senses, she hurriedly took out the jade from her bag and placed it on the velvet plate on the table.

"Old Zhong, just call me An Ran. Please take a look at this imperial green bracelet and give me an estimate."

Old Zhong looked at this bracelet with excellent water head in surprise. It was really full of green, emerald green, and natural. It was a good thing.

Mr. Zhong asked An Ran eagerly, "My dear friend, do you want to give it up? To be honest, this is a rare gem among the jadeite I have seen in recent years. If you think three million is okay, I will take it."

An Ran didn't expect that the price of jadeite in Hong Kong City is so high now, and this is still the jadeite of average quality she has on hand.

So she pondered for a moment, nodded, and asked, "Do you buy diamonds?"

Mr. Zhong was very happy to get his favorite things, so he told him everything he knew, "Yes, did you bring them today? I can take a look and give you a free estimate, so you can have a better idea of ​​the price when you sell them."

An Ran took out the diamonds she found at the purchase station, and Mr. Zhong was surprised. He wondered who this girl was. The goods in her hands were too good, and she sold so many at once.

In the end, An Ran sold all the things to Bo Lanxuan, and together with the jade bracelet she sold to Mr. Zhong, she sold a total of 7 million.

An Ran: "........" This is based on her funding gap.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly. An Ran thought about just eating something and going back to the hotel.

But she didn't expect that her luck would come and she couldn't stop it.

It was still the tea restaurant yesterday. An Ran felt that she must pack more special food before leaving and bring it back for Xiao Chengan to taste. It was estimated that it would be difficult for him to eat the food here with his status. She was really a considerate wife.

While An Ran was waiting for the food, a suppressed cry sounded at the table next to her. An Ran looked over and saw a haggard woman in her thirties. An Ran didn't know what to do for a while, so she could only take out a handkerchief from her bag and hand it to her.

The woman looked up at An Ran, as if she had thought of something again, and burst into tears. An Ran hurriedly sat opposite the woman and asked, "Don't cry, what's wrong with you? Nothing is unsolvable."

The woman continued to explain the reason, and then kept crying. The story was probably like this. The woman's name was Liu Yating, and she was a professional financial planner. Because her father was in poor health some time ago, she was in a trance and lost a few bills. Until yesterday, her father passed away, and the company was going to lay her off. She still had a mother to support. Her father's hospitalization cost a lot of money. Without a source of income, she and her mother would be homeless. The economy of Hong Kong City is very unstable now. It is difficult for people like her who were laid off to find a job with a considerable income.

An Ran suddenly felt her eyes brighten. This is really what she wants. Isn't she looking for such a person? But she still needs to observe Liu Yating's character and ability.

Liu Yating gradually stopped crying, and then apologized to An Ran embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, young lady, I haven't asked your name yet, but you have to listen to a lot of my complaints. I am too sad, so I am a little out of control. Please forgive me."

An Ran looked at Liu Yating, who had regained her strong woman look in front of her, with admiration in her eyes. In her previous life, An Ran liked decisive and domineering young ladies the most, but she didn't expect Liu Yating to be this type.

Ahhhh.... The woodchuck screamed.
