Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

The next day, sitting in the office.

Lin Ran received a mysterious phone call.

He was taking care of business and just pressed the speakerphone button.

Yuan Qianyun's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yuan Qianyun asked: "Comrade Lin, are you there?"

Lin Ran felt helpless and responded: "Of course, if I'm not here, how can I answer your call?"

Yuan Qianyun immediately changed his polite tone: "When did you come back from Hong Kong City? And you didn't say anything to me?"

Lin Ran did not contact Yuan Qianyun. He put down the document and turned to look out the window.

Although it's almost summer, it's still windy outside.

There is always a feeling that the storm is about to come.

If he hadn't been worried that Yuan Qianyun would be implicated, he would have called Yuan Qianyun home for dinner.

Then he explained: "Qianyun, something happened recently. It's not convenient for me to meet you. Please forgive me."

Yuan Qianyun asked Lin Ran suspiciously: "Lin Ran, are you in love with another girl? Are you too out of touch? You don't want to introduce her to me?"

Lin Ran was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He sighed: "Forget it, I'll tell you."

Lin Ran immediately told Yuan Qianyun about the dangers he encountered in the port city and about the robbers he encountered on the first day back in the capital.

Yuan Qianyun, who originally thought that Lin Ran didn't take her seriously and planned to launch an army to investigate, was now a little anxious.

Before you have time to adjust after returning from outside, will you encounter robbers in the local area?

"Xiaoran, are you okay?" Yuan Qianyun asked anxiously: "Would you like me to ask grandpa to check it for you? He can still find a lot of connections."

"It's not necessary. I've already got the bottom line here." Lin Ran said quickly: "I tell you these little things in private. You don't want others to know."

The secret of treasure appraisal has always been a taboo topic.

The Kirin Club, the Treasure Hunt Club, and some unknown self-interests are all vying for him.

If the country is involved, it will be really troublesome.

You still have to try to control the impact within your control.

As for being targeted, Ma Zhen had already guessed who it was. As long as he found the person, Lin Ran still had a way to subdue him.

Yuan Qianyun also understood what Lin Ran meant.

Especially when she heard that Ma Lin threatened Lin Ran with her life before she turned into a monster.

No matter what, there are still people in the capital who dare to do something to her.

She said: "Xiaoran, I believe you, then take care of yourself."

She knew that Lin Ran was not alienating her intentionally, but was trying to protect her, and her heart felt warm.

Unable to help Lin Ran, the only thing she could do was: "You don't have to worry about me. Dad and grandpa are here, I will be fine."

Seeing Yuan Qianyun being so sensible, Lin Ran was relieved.

"When I catch the remnants of the Qilin Society hiding in the dark, I will come to you." Lin Ran promised.

"Okay." Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, Yuan Qianyun was a person who could afford it and let it go.

What Lin Ran needs now is support and not causing trouble.

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Qianyun also remembered what happened to him at the Song family.

When connected, I always feel that something is abnormal.

"Maybe I should talk to dad about these things." It's hard to get involved in Lin Ran's affairs, but if it has something to do with their family, neither dad nor grandpa will let those people off easily.

A busy signal came from the phone, and Lin Ran leaned back on his chair in a daze.

It’s been a troubled year, and I hope the trouble will be over before autumn.

After all, their auction house will be officially operational in another month.

There will be more people to face then.

Because it was hands-free, Lin Ran picked up the phone and was about to hang up.

Unexpectedly, just as I put it down, the phone rang again.

It turned out to be Wu Ning calling.

"Mr. Lin, the auction house has almost settled the matter. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Director Chen said that he misses you and wants to treat you to lunch. I wonder if I can give you a favor?"

Wu Ning is the general manager who was previously recruited from Qian Xiaoyong.

Zulong Auction House has always been run by him and Chen Jiajia. From decoration to recruitment, Lin Ran only gave suggestions.

Wu Ning left him an address, which was a newly opened food street near Shengshi Craftsmanship.

The distance was not too far, and it was also very lively, so Lin Ran agreed to come down.

You don't even need to drive, it only takes about 7 minutes to walk.

However, Lin Ran didn't think it was as simple as just treating him to dinner. There must be something he wanted to tell him, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

It's best to do business matters, he has no time to take care of other things.

After telling Yang Jianlong the itinerary, Lin Ran changed his clothes and walked to the food court.

Ten minutes later, Lin Ran arrived at the door of the hotel.

Most food courts in this era are essentially food stalls.

Any other owner would definitely sneer at this kind of shop because it looks too much like a fly den.

The weather has just warmed up, and the food stalls have placed their tables on the roadside, basically occupying the sidewalk in front of the store, with a total of fifteen tables.

It's lunch time now, there are people sitting at every table, and business is extremely hot.

In this era, ordinary office workers do not have such high requirements for hygiene, and the urban management does not catch many of them.

Sitting outside, you can enjoy the wind and sunshine, which is very comfortable. No wonder people like to sit outside to eat.

Lin Ran glanced around and didn't find Wu Ning.

When he walked into the store, he and Chen Jiajia were not seen.

"Have you been cheated again?" Lin Ran thought to himself. He was too careless. The current phone did not support caller ID, so he had no idea who was calling.

Just a sound image.

This reminded him that he would have to ask some questions next time to confirm whether they were the real ones.

After walking around the restaurant, Lin Ran was ready to leave.

At this time, he discovered a familiar figure.

Isn't this person Xu Ning?

Looking at the people sitting opposite him, they turned out to be two girls.

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was wrong.

At this moment, a girl whispered something to Xu Ning, and Xu Ning turned around and saw Lin Ran.

He immediately smiled and waved: "Brother Lin, come and sit here."

Lin Ran vaguely remembered that Xu Ning's house was not close to here, at least twenty kilometers away.

Today is not a holiday, why is he here to eat?

Seeing that Lin Ran couldn't pass, Xu Ning ran over, which made Lin Ran a little alert. Could it be that he was pretending to be someone again?

Xu Ning was a little confused, patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and said: "Brother Lin, come and sit down, give me some reference, I'm stupid."

Under his warm invitation, Lin Ran couldn't refuse.

He had no choice but to smile and follow Xu Ning to his seat, and sat down in front of the two girls.

Xu Ning is not fake. His physical strength is so good that it is impossible to fake it.
