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

Lin Ran remembered his fame in Panjiayuan and Liulichang. Picking up leaks was one of his great pleasures in life.

If I get on TV, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep a low profile anymore.

At least the rich families in the capital have TVs. If they saw him, he would be too ostentatious.

"No." Seeing Lin Ran's refusal so simply, Chen Qi could only emphasize: "This is an opportunity that I fought hard for!"

"Mr. Chen, don't you have a master chef in Hong Kong City?" Lin Ran smiled, "I traveled thousands of miles to participate in a TV show, how should I deal with the affairs in the mainland? The auction house still has a lot of things to do."

Chen Qi sighed. Since he had already said so, he couldn't force it anymore.

"Okay, then I'll tell the TV station."

Lin Ran thought to himself, this Chen Qi is really inexplicable.

He kindly invited him to participate in the treasure appraisal program.

These days, many people want to be on TV, but Lin Ran doesn't have much interest.

When her son hung up the phone, Mother Lin asked worriedly: "Xiao Ran, are you going on a business trip out of town again?"

"I'm not going." Lin Ran put his hand on his mother's shoulder with a smile and said, "Mom, what should we have for dinner?"

...

After dinner, Lin Ran lay on his new bed, feeling extremely comfortable.

In less than a year, he brought about earth-shaking changes in his family's situation.

All of this was picked up by him.

Even if he is rich, Lin Ran will still not forget this hobby.

The next day, Lin Ran got up early as usual and put "Health Preservation Technique" into his backpack. He couldn't trust such an important thing at home.

After sending her sister to the department store, Lin Ran just sat down in the office when she received a strange phone call.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin?"

This accent is exactly the same as Chen Qi's.

Lin Ran knew as soon as he heard that it was someone from Hong Kong City who called.

But apart from Chen Qi, he didn't seem to know anyone from Hong Kong.

"Hello, who are you?" Lin Ran replied politely.

"Hello, I'm Cheng Zhifei from the Jiahang Museum. Just call me Manager Cheng." The other person's other words were a bit confused, but Manager Cheng's three words were spoken in a tactful manner, and he seemed to be very interested in his position. pride.

On the phone, Manager Cheng wholeheartedly invited Lin Ran to participate in the "Jiahang Treasure Appraisal Fair" program.

He also mentioned that as long as he goes to a TV show and says a few words on TV, he can get generous rewards.

Although what he said seemed sincere, Lin Ran could still tell that he was hiding something.

But he didn't say it clearly, but asked: "Why do you invite me to participate in this show?"

Instead, he became curious. If it was just Chen Qi's invitation, it wouldn't matter if he refused.

The manager of the Jiahang Museum also invited him. Could it be that Li Jiahang came forward to invite him to the show.

This kind of opportunity was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Lin Ran didn't believe in pie-in-the-sky things, so of course he wanted to ask for advice.

"Hehe, the main reason is that the Chen family strongly recommends you. If you really don't want to come, you can just write a letter admitting defeat." Manager Cheng made a clear point.

Lin Ran found it funny: "Why admit defeat? I don't even know what the challenge is."

"This treasure appraisal competition is actually a competition between three family elites. The Chen family can't come up with anyone at all." Manager Cheng said with a smile, "If you also refuse, Mr. Lin, it means that the Chen family will automatically abstain."

"I think Mr. Lin is not such a ruthless person, right?" Manager Cheng smiled meaningfully.

"Of course the Chen family's own affairs should be resolved by themselves." Lin Ran replied coldly, and then hung up the phone.

It turned out that Chen Qi wanted to invite him not to make the auction house famous, but to represent the reputation of their family.

It can only be said that the rich people in Hong Kong City are full. They usually fight openly and secretly. Now they have to compete on TV. Apart from being full, Lin Ran can't think of a better explanation.

As soon as he put down the phone, Chen Qi called.

"Lin Ran, please do me this favor. This treasure appraisal will be very important to our family!" Chen Qi sounded begging for the first time in his tone.

"Why?" Lin Ran was puzzled, "Is it just because your big family is fighting for face?"

"No." Chen Qi said, "If we lose this treasure appraisal meeting, our stocks will plummet, and my brother has long coveted my equity. I'm afraid... all my investment in the capital will be lost." Get yellow.”

Another sibling rivalry?

Lin Ran couldn't help but rolled his eyes, can't you come up with something new?

"That's the thing." Chen Qi said, "I value the mainland market very much, but my brother doesn't want to develop in the mainland. We have differences on this. If the stock plummets, then I will lose my right to speak."

The consequences are self-evident, and their investment will be ruined.

In fact, Lin Ran didn't care. It didn't matter to him whether the auction house opened or not.

I just think of Liu Jiajia and Wu Ning. They are busy working for the auction house, and they will definitely be disappointed if their work ends in vain.

"Tsk..." Lin Ran frowned. With great ability comes great responsibility.

"Okay, okay." Lin Ran finally agreed, "But I can only try my best, but there is no guarantee that I will win."

"It's easy!" Chen Qi was overjoyed and said: "From now on, you will be my dead brother. If you have any questions, just come to me! By the way, I will help you go through all the procedures. When you arrive in Hong Kong City, I will arrange for someone to pick you up. you."

Hey.

Only then did I agree to my parents to stay at home for at least a month.

It's been less than a week since I came back, and I have to go far away again.

Lin Ran was not in the mood to stay in the company any longer. After explaining Yang Jianlong's work, he returned home.

My father was squatting at the gate, whittling wood. He used to do carpentry for others, but now that his health is not good, he doesn't go out to work. He picks up this hobby occasionally.

Lin Ran noticed that even after he returned, his father was still gray-haired.

He has a simple and honest face and is an honest farmer.

Mother Lin also walked out of the room with a basin and moved into the new home. All the cleaning work fell on her, so she looked a little tired.

However, she caught sight of Lin Ran standing at the door of the yard with a happy expression.

"Xiao Ran, are you standing at the door of your house and not coming in?" She immediately ran over and opened the courtyard door.

Lin Ran sighed and said, "Mom, I'm afraid I have to go out again."

Hearing this, a trace of gloom flashed across Mother Lin's face.

This was still an era when transportation was underdeveloped. Every time she traveled far away, Mrs. Lin was frightened.

However, she still forced a smile and said: "Xiaoran, why are you looking like this when you go out? You should be happy. As long as it's work, my mother will support you!"

Lin Ran felt warm in his heart and said, "Yeah."
