Chapter 224 The Stepping Stone of the Writers of the Republic of China 9
Su Lan, who had already exchanged three hundred dollars from the pawnshop, relied on Tuanzi as a living map and found the room that Li Chunhong rented in the winding alley.
"Knock knock," Su Lan pulled the ring on the old door, making a crisp sound. "Hello, is Miss Li Chunhong here?"
The door creaked open. Li Chunhong looked much more haggard than when she caused a disturbance in school a few days ago, and her beautiful long hair was not tied up.
"Hello, who are you?" Li Chunhong looked at the girl in front of her, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and really couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Hello, my name is Su Lan. I saw you slapping that scumbag in the face at the school gate a few days ago, so I think you're pretty good and would like to discuss a business deal with you."
"Business, what business? Little sister, you may not know that I have been in the city for several days, and no matter what job I find, my boss rejects me... In this state, what kind of business can I talk to you about?" Li Chunhong said helplessly, her tone full of disappointment and helplessness in life.
"Ms. Li, don't refuse so quickly. Since I came to you, I must have come prepared. And I believe that with your ability, you will be able to handle this business well." Su Lan said confidently.
"Okay, then you come in first." Li Chunhong hesitated for a moment, but decided to let Su Lan in.
Su Lan walked into the room and found it simple but tidy. She sat down on a chair and said straight to the point, "Ms. Li, I know you really need a job right now, and I have an opportunity here that can make you money."
"Oh? What opportunity?" Li Chunhong asked curiously.
"I want to invest in a restaurant and need a boss. I think you are very suitable for this position. From my observation, you are careful, bold, and smart." Su Lan looked at Li Chunhong seriously.
"Restaurant? But I've never worked in this business!" Li Chunhong still couldn't accept it. The experience of being scammed in the past few days made her want to back out.
"I still know whether this is Miss Li's first time working in a restaurant. The future boss Li cannot be modest." Su Lan said with a smile.
"You won't..."
Su Lan didn't say anything else, just nodded slightly.
Li Chunhong was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, she raised her head and said firmly, "Okay, I'm willing to try."
"Here is two hundred dollars. You can choose a location first and then find helpers. I am investing in you and will not interfere with your management of the restaurant," Su Lan counted out the two hundred dollars readily.
Li Chunhong was stunned when she saw so much money for the first time. She even ran to check whether the door was closed before she dared to accept it.
"Okay, thank you Miss Su for your investment. I will definitely work hard to make a lot of money for you, the boss behind me," Li Chunhong promised solemnly.
Su Lan stayed and talked to Li Chunhong about some things to pay attention to when opening a restaurant. The key was that the first restaurant should be as far away from the university in Baishiqiao as possible.
Li Chunhong did not refute and took note of it silently.
According to the plot, Boss Lin, who was out on business, would return to City M in two days, while Su Lan secretly bribed two or three servants of the Lin Mansion and fabricated some false reputation and stories about Master Liuguang.
For example, the old lady of the Wang family found her long-lost biological son just because she heard a word from Master Liuguang; or when the wealthy businessman named Zhang was nearly sixty years old, after taking the pills given to him by Master Liuguang, all his eighteen concubines became pregnant.
As expected, this news successfully attracted the attention of Boss Lin. He thought that his daughter had been pestering him to get married recently, so he would go visit the Master Liuguang and have a fortune-teller for his daughter.
Su Lan cleverly used the mask to transform herself into a sage-like master. Taking advantage of the weekend break, she sat on a large rock on a hilltop in the suburbs, quietly waiting for Boss Lin to arrive.
Oh my, this sun is really scorching! Su Lan has asked Tuanzi for the location of Boss Lin for the sixth time: "Help me see where he is now?"
"Host, don't be impatient. The enemy, oh no, the big fish will arrive at the battlefield in one minute."
Tuanzi and Jin Ling have recently become addicted to playing games. Every day, apart from watching the male protagonist chasing the female supporting role, they get together to play games. Only Yufeng is practicing obediently in his portable space.
Su Lan took a deep breath and held it in. This was his own child. Just as he calmed down, he heard someone coming from behind.
"Haha, you must be Master Liuguang, right? I'm Lin Tianfu from City M." Boss Lin said, panting heavily, clearly exhausted from just arriving at his destination. Even so, he didn't forget to introduce himself.
Su Lan heard the voice and looked back, only to see a middle-aged man with a cane standing behind her. The man had Buddhist beads on both hands and looked very wealthy, giving people a feeling of great wealth and honor.
Lin Tianfu is a well-known patriotic businessman in the later part of the normal storyline. He is even willing to donate millions of his fortune to the country, which is admirable. However, unfortunately, he is eventually killed by his jealous daughter and son-in-law.
Taking this into consideration, Su Lan did not choose to remind him in the form of a dream, but decided to talk to him in person and give him something.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, here is a cup of water to help you relieve your fatigue." Su Lan said with a smile, and at the same time, a cup of water appeared out of thin air in her right hand, and she gently handed it to Lin Tianfu.
The servants following behind Boss Lin saw this and wanted to help take the cup, but Lin Tianfu waved his hand to stop them. He personally took the cup handed over by Su Lan with both hands, thanked her gratefully, and then slowly drank it.
As the cool water entered his throat, Lin Tianfu felt a wave of coolness spread throughout his body, instantly alleviating his fatigue. He didn't drink the entire cup in one breath, but instead handed the remaining half cup to the two servants behind him, smiling and saying to them, "This is the spiritual water bestowed upon us by the immortal. You should drink some too."
The two servants hurriedly took it with great trepidation, took a sip cautiously, and then stood aside respectfully.
Su Lan looked at Lin Tianfu, still with a faint smile on her face, and then said: "Mr. Lin is just as I expected, kind and generous to others, which is admirable. But..." Having said that, she deliberately paused and looked at Lin Tianfu thoughtfully.
Lin Tianfu was a little nervous when she looked at him like that, and asked hurriedly: "Master, can you see what's wrong with me? Please tell me clearly!"
Su Lan nodded slightly and said slowly: "You have a daughter, and now it's time to talk about marriage, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. To be honest, Immortal, I came to you this time just to ask if this young man is the right one for my daughter. I have only had this precious daughter for more than thirty years, and I really can't bear to see her being deceived." Lin Tianfu said anxiously, his voice full of anxiety and worry.
Su Lan looked at Lin Tianfu, a sly look flashing in her eyes, and she slowly said, "But you shouldn't be too indulgent. I've calculated that your daughter and son-in-law will eventually kill you, but there's a way to break it."
