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

Manager Fan hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, that's not possible, how about this? I will serve you the food and drinks on my own initiative. That part will be free of charge. You only need to pay for the previous part."

Lin Ran thought for a while and realized that this was a good suggestion, so he readily agreed.

Then he took out his wallet.

The students were really dumbfounded. They had never seen such a bulging wallet, and it was filled with 50 yuan bills.

After counting for a long time, Lin Ran put a stack of banknotes on the table: "Manager Fan, please count them."

"Do you still need to count when you pay?" Manager Fan gestured to the front desk staff.

"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you. I'll come for dinner next time." Lin Ran wanted to leave after saying that.

However, Manager Fan stopped Lin Ran: "Mr. Lin, I have something to ask you."

It turned out that he was the one who was looking for him. Lin Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't take advantage of this. Otherwise, if the matter was very difficult, he wouldn't be able to step down.

"But I'm here to attend the class reunion today, so I'm not free now." Lin Ran said with some embarrassment.

"You can have fun in Mingyue Mountain. We have a special tourist bus, and I will arrange a driver now." Manager Fan said, and other students cheered.

There are actually not many things to play at class reunions in this era.

Because karaoke has not been officially introduced to the mainland, game halls cannot be a gathering place for this group of adults. After the class reunion, most of the students play mahjong together or continue drinking until the sky is dark.

I didn’t expect that today’s class reunion would be able to travel.

Mingyue Villa is not only a hotel, but also a resort. However, in this era, the concept of resort has not yet been formed.

However, people have begun to speak about it. Students are naturally happy to take a stroll in Mingyue Villa.

Seeing the students' high interest, Lin Ran naturally would not dampen their interest, so he said, "Okay, Manager Fan, I'll trouble you to make arrangements."

"No trouble, no trouble." Manager Fan said diligently.

Soon, a uniquely decorated car appeared at the door of the hotel.

"You guys go and play, I still have something to discuss with Manager Fan." Lin Ran said to the students.

"Hey, I have nothing to do, how about I accompany you." Jiang Chaobo was a little embarrassed, feeling that Lin Ran paid for this trip.

"It's okay. Manager Fan will arrange for you to go play. It must be these things. I don't want others to know." Lin Ran smiled.

"That's right." Jiang Chaobo tasted it carefully and replied, "Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful!"

"You guys go and play too." Lin Ran looked at Guan Yun and Xu Ning.

"Let me sleep for a while." Xu Ning said, "I didn't sleep well last night. Only after I have a good rest can I have the energy to drive."

"Okay." Manager Fan immediately arranged a guest room for him.

As for Guan Yun, he wanted to stay by Lin Ran's side no matter what he said, but Manager Fan couldn't resist it.

Lin Ran had no choice but to say: "This is my bodyguard. You can trust him completely and he will not leak our conversation."

"It's okay, it's nothing special." Manager Fan waved his hand and said.

Then he pointed to the sofa in the hall and motioned for them to sit on it and chat.

"Mr. Lin, I heard that you are a treasure appraiser in the capital. I also saw your eyes at Mr. Song's birthday party before. You are indeed a young hero. I admire you."

All I can say is that he is indeed a businessman, and he has to flatter him before speaking.

Fortunately, Lin Ran was already immune to flattery, and the more aggressive he flattered him, the more troublesome things would become.

"Let's get down to business and don't interrupt," Lin Ran said.

"Hehe, don't interrupt, don't interrupt." Manager Fan muttered to himself, and then his attitude became serious, "That's what happened. My family bought a new house in Wannian Apartment in Beijing."

"Oh, not bad!" Lin Ran thought of what Jiang Chaobo said just now. If he could buy a house that lasted for ten thousand years, Manager Fan was quite rich.

"The house is nice, but that's not what I'm talking about." Manager Fan was a little confused. Didn't Lin Ran himself say not to interrupt just now? Why did he take the initiative to change the topic.

Lin Ran said, "Just keep talking."

At this time, he remembered one thing. He really had no plans to buy real estate in the capital. However, there was no shortage of rich people in his circle. Even Wang Jinpeng had already made a lot of money after going to the grave several times. Man Bo Man, buying a house is definitely not difficult for him. You can consider introducing them to Jiang Chaobo and help him improve the industry.

After all, the two of them had the same disease in high school, and now they have a very good relationship, and it would be great if they could help each other.

"Because I'm moving to a new house, I plan to sell my old house." Manager Fan said, "But while I was cleaning up the old house, I suddenly discovered something magical."

There are usually surprises in old houses.

Lin Ran's interest was also aroused. From the look of Manager Fan, he must have discovered some treasure.

Lin Ran said "hmm" and nodded for him to continue.

Manager Fan continued: "There is a wooden box placed on the beam of my old house!"

This is what happened!

Just through his description, Lin Ran realized that the contents of this wooden box must be unusual.

As the pillars of the house, beams are actually not very suitable for storing things, nor are they used as storage space.

But it will be placed on the beam, which is definitely a good thing.

Especially in the period after the Qing Dynasty, society was relatively turbulent, and productivity had not kept up, and many unemployed people embarked on the road of theft.

Doors at that time were basically wooden doors, so break-ins were common, let alone breaking in.

Especially those with yards at home, which are basically wealthy families.

In order to keep their property safe, they would choose to pack treasures in boxes and place them on beams.

It can play a role in confidentiality. Basically no thief will notice it on the beam. Even if he notices it, it is inconvenient to get it.

Therefore, Lin Ran believed that the box that would be placed on the beam must contain the previous items.

Manager Fan said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, please don't make this matter public."

"Isn't it just a box? What's there to promote to the outside world?" Lin Ran agreed.

Manager Fan said: "That's not what I'm referring to. In fact, my great-grandfather was still the prefect of the capital during the Qing Dynasty."

"So that's it." Lin Ran suddenly realized.

No wonder Manager Fan is so careful. After all, his family used to be in the Qing Dynasty, but as an official, he has not been liquidated and can still maintain his ancestral home. It seems that he is a very low-key person.
