Is Chapter 60 really that simple?
Lu Ran's actions not only stunned Wang Xiaoyan and the others.
It also stunned passersby.
Not only are they a handsome couple, but they also have to show off in public. And to make matters worse, they're doing it right there on the street. Single people passing by are thinking, "Life is meaningless now. I might as well give a high five to the hood of an oncoming truck."
Lu Ran himself wasn't as calm as he appeared.
After crossing the zebra crossing, he put Cheng Ning down.
【Ding! 】
Your slick moves almost made your rival green with envy; very impressive!
[Gained 300 treasure chest experience points.]
【Ding! 】
Your handsome appearance makes your rival both jealous and unwilling to admit defeat; he's about to break down. Excellent!
[Gained 500 treasure chest experience points.]
Lu Ran thought to himself, "Is it really that simple?"
"Lu Ran, not bad!"
Seeing Wang Xiaoyan looking at him strangely, Lu Ran suddenly felt awkward and laughed, "Haha, Officer Wang, hello. Um, Cheng Ning just had surgery..."
Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Mmm, I understand, I understand. You don't need to explain."
Perhaps due to preconceived notions, Lu Ran remained reserved in front of Wang Xiaoyan, mainly because Cheng Ning had told him many legends about Wang Xiaoyan.
Heroic deeds such as subduing a thug with one hand, knocking out a robber with a double-strike ear blow, and shattering a bandit's ribs with a backhand elbow strike.
Lu Ran had always felt that Wang Xiaoyan exuded a murderous aura, but after hearing Cheng Ning tell Wang Xiaoyan's story, he realized that it wasn't a feeling, but a fact.
After Lu Ran and Wang Xiaoyan finished greeting each other.
He then looked at the other two.
"Hello, my name is Lu Ran."
Hu Wen smiled and said, "Hello handsome, my name is Hu Wen, and I'm Cheng Ning's high school classmate."
Lu Caizhi nodded to Lu Ran with a forced smile, but did not introduce himself like Hu Wen did.
Instead, he turned to Cheng Ning and extended his hand, saying, "Cheng Ning, it's been a long time."
Cheng Ning subconsciously tugged at Lu Ran's sleeve: "Yeah, long time no see."
Hu Wen then said, "Cheng Ning, Boss Lü wants to shake your hand."
Cheng Ning remained tugged at Lu Ran's sleeve without moving.
Hu Wen glanced at Lü Caizhi, feeling a little worried about his emotional intelligence. Others were in special circumstances, and he was just standing there waiting with his hand outstretched. Was he stupid?
Lü Caizhi only just realized what was happening.
He said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I forgot you can't see."
In fact, Cheng Ning could see Lü Caizhi's outstretched hand, but she simply didn't want to shake his hand.
Cheng Ning shook her head: "It's nothing."
To ease the awkwardness, Wang Xiaoyan interjected, "Now that everyone's here, let's go upstairs."
After saying that, he went up and took Cheng Ning's arm.
He looked at Lu Ran and said, "Lu Ran, I haven't seen Cheng Ning in a long time. Can I have her today?"
"Xiaoyan." Cheng Ning shyly nudged her sister.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "What are you saying? Cheng Ning also misses you, Officer Wang. If you weren't so busy, I would have brought her to see you long ago."
Wang Xiaoyan smiled and said, "Hmm, not bad, you know how to talk."
"Let's go upstairs, the food should be almost ready by now."
The group had ordered their food in advance, and their seats were in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant behind them.
Once inside the restaurant, Lü Caizhi straightened his posture a bit.
We've finally arrived at his home turf.
Lu Caizhi said to the cashier at the counter, "Tell your boss that the dishes in room 201 on the second floor are ready to be served."
Then Lu Caizhi asked Cheng Ning, "Cheng Ning, is there anything you like to eat? You can tell me, and I'll have the chef prepare it for our private room. The food will be served soon."
When Lü Caizhi speaks, he always shows off the watch on his wrist, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Ran, standing to the side, was puzzled. Why did everyone like to show off their watches so much? It's just an accessory. If you have one, fine, but isn't it a bit silly to pull on your cuff five times a minute like that?
Those who know you know your watch isn't cheap, but those who don't might think you're a coach. Who but a coach would check their watch so frequently?
However, Lu Ran couldn't very well expose someone's shortcomings to their face.
It wasn't appropriate to confront him directly, and Lu Ran had to do something; he certainly couldn't just watch others fawn over Cheng Ning in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ran said, "Then let's have a sweet and sour pork ribs, a boiled beef balls, a pumpkin soup, and a corn and lotus seed soup!"
"These are all things Cheng Ning likes to eat. Well, there are also some spicy and numbing flavors, but she can't eat spicy food right now because she's in recovery."
Hu Wen exclaimed in surprise, "No way, handsome! You know exactly what Cheng Ning likes to eat, and you can remember so many dishes?"
Lu Ran replied, "Is that so strange?"
"These are just a few of the dishes; there are many more that I haven't mentioned."
Hu Wen said, "That's amazing, okay? I've dated three guys, and even if they remembered my birthday, let alone what I like to eat, I felt like they really loved me."
As Hu Wen spoke, she noticed that Lü Caizhi's expression was somewhat embarrassed, so she wisely shut her mouth.
Lu Caizhi gave an awkward laugh.
He then said, "Just give me one of everything he said, and if he doesn't have any, that's fine."
"Okay, Mr. Lü."
Watching Lü Caizhi turn and go upstairs with a stiff face, Lu Ran couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "He's too impatient."
Lu Ran had met quite a few rich kids.
Compared to Lin Shaoxian, Lü Caizhi is clearly too young.
The group then entered the private room.
Once most of the dishes were served, they started chatting and eating.
Lu Caizhi had prepared wine, but since no one else present drank it, he had to give up.
Then, Lü Caizhi took the initiative to start a conversation, and the group started talking about their high school days.
Now Lu Ran couldn't get a word in edgewise and could only sit there as a listener, silently eating his food.
"Wang Xiaoyan, you have such a good job now, you definitely don't need my help. Hu Wen, you said you're making short videos, how much do you earn about a month?"
Hu Wen said awkwardly, "Rarely, most of the time I can barely make ends meet."
Lu Caizhi laughed and said, "Although I run a gaming companion club, it's still part of the internet industry. Since you make short videos, why don't you come work for me?"
"I'll give you a guaranteed salary of 5,000 yuan. All you need to do is make promotional videos for my company."
Hu Wen was tempted by the offer, but also hesitated. Five thousand was a lot, but when her data was good, she could earn seven or eight thousand a month, averaging around four thousand.
The guaranteed minimum of 5,000 was attractive to her, but not that strongly.
However, she still smiled and nodded, "Thank you, I'll think about it."
Seeing this, Lü Caizhi didn't ask any further questions. He turned to Cheng Ning and said, "Cheng Ning, you said you're recording audiobooks. I know a friend who runs this kind of company. I can introduce you to a platform."
"You're guaranteed a minimum monthly salary of 10,000. It's simple; you can work from home."
Cheng Ning politely replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need to trouble yourself. I'm perfectly fine as I am."
Seeing that Cheng Ning refused, Lü Caizhi was at a loss for how to continue the conversation.
He glanced at Lu Ran, who was standing silently beside him, thought for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Hey buddy, what do you do for a living? If the pay isn't great, I can help you get an introduction."
Lu Ran blinked: "Strictly speaking, I should be considered unemployed."
He's the boss, and he basically never goes to the company, so it's true that he's unemployed.
"Unemployed?"
Lu Caizhi was surprised at first, then laughed and said, "You should be about my age. If you're unemployed at this age, it'll be very difficult to survive in society in a few years!"
"Dating requires money, and marriage requires even more money. You can't just enjoy the present and give up your future."
"This is not only irresponsible to yourself, but also to your partner."
"As Cheng Ning's classmate, your behavior... to be honest, makes me very unhappy."
After all that, it turned out he was just an unemployed bum, and Lü Caizhi instantly gained confidence.
What's the use of someone being good-looking?
"Ding ding ding".
Just as Lü Caizhi was about to continue lecturing Lu Ran on life's great principles, Lu Ran's phone rang.
It was Lu Ran who set the alarm; it was time to give Cheng Ning a head massage.
