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

Smiling and looking very friendly.

"You are Mr. Chen Xingchen, right?"

Lin Ran subconsciously wanted to deny it, but he quickly remembered. Isn't this the nickname given to him by the Chen family?

He did not nod, but looked at the middle-aged man in front of him warily.

From the way he walked straight towards him, he didn't look like a fan who wanted to make friends with him after watching TV.

Because he had offended Li Jiahang, was he sent to warn him?Was the food poisoned?

Seeing Lin Ran's alert look, the middle-aged man laughed heartily.

"Haha, don't be nervous, Mr. Chen. I am Yan Hong, an old friend of Mr. Zhu Yawen." The middle-aged man extended his hand to express friendship.

It turned out to be Zhu Yawen's person.

Lin Ran smiled, stretched out his hand to touch him, and asked, "Mr. Zhu is really powerful. I thought he had forgotten about accepting disciples, and I wanted to come to remind him."

"It was too late yesterday, so the old gentleman went home to check out the auspicious days." As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Lin Ran, "This is the time and place for the apprenticeship banquet. , don’t miss the moment.”

what?

Lin Ran was shocked. Isn't it enough to become a disciple by finding a good time and pouring tea at your door?

Why is it like a college entrance banquet, and guests are also invited to the banquet.

It would be even harder for him to escape in public.

"Did Mr. Chen grow up outside and not know much about the etiquette in Hong Kong?" Yan Hong said with a smile.

He also saw Lin Ran's performance on the show. Not to mention the younger generation, even the older generation of treasure appraisers rarely had his experience.

But he didn't know anything about the apprenticeship banquet.

Lin Ran was seen through and could only smile and said: "Mr. Yan is very good at predicting things. I have indeed grown up in the Mainland since I was a child, and I will go back to the Mainland soon."

"That's it." Yan Hong thought for a long time and said.

In fact, he was thinking that as far as he knew, the youngest son of the Chen family was Chen Qi. Chen Zhifei was born when he was in his 40s. When he was born, his brothers and sisters were all in their teens.

That's why he doted on his younger son in every possible way and became arrogant and domineering.

Although he controls many companies, in fact, no one in the company is convinced by him, and they are just waiting to be divided among their brothers and sisters.

Little did he know that the Chen family actually had a younger son.

Moreover, this son is not only talented and well-educated, but also of little value.

Yan Hong thought to himself that Chen Zhifei had the foresight to send his youngest child to the mainland.

The mainland was very poor at this time, so he could cultivate his hard-working character.

Instead, I admired Chen Zhifei in my heart.

Judging from his appearance, he must be an adult and has formed his own outlook on life and values, so I took advantage of this show to push him to the front.

Lin Ran didn't know what he was thinking, but he was worried about how this scene would end.

Yan Hong smiled and explained: "Actually, it's simple to say. The main reason for the apprenticeship banquet is to advertise it to people in the treasure appraisal circle and let them know that you are Zhu Yawen's disciple. No matter which store or auction you go to in the future, If you go, everything will go smoothly."

As for the other benefits, they are endless.

Lin Ran finally understood. In fact, he was telling others: "I protected this kid."

However, Lin Ran didn't know much about it and asked, "What is Mr. Zhu's status in Hong Kong City?"

As soon as he said this, Yan Hong burst out laughing. The people next to him first looked at him with disgust, thinking that he was talking too loudly and affecting their normal communication.

However, when they looked at Yan Hong, the initial disgust gradually turned into fear.

No one dared to say a word, and they all buried themselves in their breakfast.

"Have you only heard of the three major families that divide the territory? In fact, they can only be regarded as a fight between children. When you reach a higher level, you will find that they are nothing more than that."

But so?

To be honest, Lin Ran felt that Zhu Yawen might indeed have some dignity in Hong Kong City.

But he never expected that in his eyes, the three major families were just children playing around, so what kind of person was he?

"I won't tell you the details, you will know later." Yan Hong took a sip of his morning tea and said, "I actually came here today to tell you something else."

"Becoming Mr. Zhu's disciple means that you will become the heir of the Qilin Society. While enjoying the privileges, you will also have to bear some responsibilities. So before that, I want to test your abilities." Yan Hong just said His smiling face instantly faded and became extremely serious.

What does Qilin know?

Lin Ran felt a little confused. It seemed like a plot in a TV series.

And seeing how he blew so loudly, he didn't see through his true identity.

After breakfast, Yan Hong drove him to Causeway Bay, the busiest street in the port city and also famous in the mainland.

When I watched Young and Dangerous in the past, I usually saw the scenery outside the street, which looked a bit desolate and chaotic.

But walking on this street in person, I feel that it is no different from the commercial streets of later generations.

The only difference is that it's the 80s now.

There are a variety of shops on the streets, from clothing stores to restaurants.

Lin Ran planned to take a nice stroll when he was done with his work.

I promised to buy a suitable textbook for Chen Qi, and I just happened to buy some gifts from here to take back to my friends.

Walking along the main street, more than ten minutes later, at the corner of the street, a temple-like building appeared.

A sign hung on the door - Felwood.

Walking into the store, a simple and heavy atmosphere hit your face.

Directly opposite the gate, there is an idol.

Lin Ran recognized him at a glance. This person was officially the Emperor Wenchang, and was responsible for literature and official positions.

In the corridor, there are many other statues, all of which are masterpieces.

Lin Ran was overwhelmed by what he saw. These statues were all carved from mahogany, and they were probably enough to buy a villa.

Lin Ran had heard of Riverwood's name, but this was the first time he heard of Feilwood.

But from the outside, this store is full of traditional Chinese characteristics.

When you are in it, your heart will be soothed, and the worldly worries will be swept away.

"Brother Chen, what do you think?" Lin Ran was observing each statue just now. Yan Hong did not rush them, but waited silently beside them.

"These are all the best in the world, but they should have been carved in the past few years, right?" Lin Ran praised, "I didn't expect that there is no master of such exquisite wood carving today."

Yan Hong nodded appreciatively, and then said: "What Brother Chen said is absolutely true, but these are handicrafts after all. If we finish looking at them, we will take a look inside."

Lin Ran understood that he was urging her and nodded in agreement.
