Chapter 063 Chapter 93 (Part 2), 94, 95, and 96 (four in one)

These words made her understand why she could meet the factory director so soon.

Lin Yilan rubbed the handle of the cup and lowered her eyes, "Director Guang, do you want to hear me tell you the truth?"

Guang Hongjun nodded eagerly, "Of course! Comrade Lin, I will confess to you, you are the one I have met The best at cooperating with foreigners. "

You are just a sophomore at the University of Technology, and you can stand out in so many works, compete with foreigners, and cooperate with foreigners.

No matter how I looked at it, I felt that the young lesbian in front of me knew more about foreigners than the people around him.

Since she wants to tell the truth, she won't be polite.

In particular, she has great expectations for the Jingshi Furniture Factory. She hopes that the Jingshi Furniture Factory can become the number one in the country and even an internationally famous furniture factory.

In this way, the furniture factory can be her strong backing when she fights against her mother's ex-husband's family in the future.

If you are not aware of your problems now, then in a few years of restructuring, this furniture factory may be out of business.

"Let's not go too far and analyze the sofa in your office. One of your previous statements made me particularly curious. Why do you think this style is favored by foreigners? Is there any basis for it?"

Lin Yilan said. She pointed out what she considered the most important issue.

In her opinion, their behavior is just like white people selling Hanfu. They don't know anything and just read whatever book or program they see in it. Young people in their country like to wear Hanfu and sell it.

The furniture is also very particular.

For nearly an hour, the two had a profound discussion on how to accurately capture the tendencies of foreigners.

It was also this hour that convinced Guanghongjun of Lin Yilan.

"They say practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It seems that I don't understand this sentence well enough." Guang Hongjun blew the hot tea in his cup and mocked himself.

Lin Yilan drained most of the glass of water. She put the empty glass on the table and said, "Director Guang, the past is a lesson. The furniture factory will definitely get better and better in the future. Your goal will be achieved soon." It will be achieved."

Guang Hongjun was infected by her arrogance and waved his hand, "Comrade Lin, I also think that the furniture factory's goal of earning foreign exchange will be achieved soon."

After that, he meant. Smiled deeply.

After the two looked at each other tacitly, they both raised the cups in front of them.

After drinking the remaining tea in the cup, Lin Yilan rubbed the tabletop of the coffee table, drawing lines unconsciously with her fingers.

She lowered her eyes and thought, and she didn't react until Director Guang heated water in her cup.

"I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Guang Hongjun looked at her several times and said with emotion: "Comrade Lin, don't be so polite when you talk to people about cooperation outside. Sometimes you are too polite, and some people will I think you are easy to bully. "

"Especially when talking about cooperation with foreigners, if you are too polite, people will think you are weak and easy to bully."

Although the tone was educational, Lin Yilan knew that Director Guang had good intentions and laughed. She said thank you, "Thank you for reminding me."

She also took this opportunity to compliment Director Guang, "I am polite to you because I think Director Guang is a good person."

Guang Hongjun pointed at her in the air and laughed. , "Xiao Lin, I can't tell you are still flattering. I thought you technicians were all focused on your own profession."

You and I chatted about some meaningless nonsense, but listening to it can make you feel better. After saying good things, Lin Yilan was ready to point her sword at her true purpose today.

She observed Guang Hongjun's expression through the movement of drinking water. When she saw that his eyebrows and eyes were much softer than at the beginning, and his cheeks were flushed, and he looked very happy and relaxed, she put down the cup.

In order to reduce the possibility of going to the toilet, she just let the water touch her lips several times, pretending to swallow without actually drinking the water.

I have prepared so much just for this moment.

She took out a new document bag from the briefcase next to her and gently placed it in front of herself.

"Director Guang, you should believe now that I am indeed the designer of the SJT Town Sailor Center in Denmark, right?"

Guang Hongjun glanced at the portfolio, then nodded with a smile, "Of course I believe it, Xiaolin, you have taken so much Proof, how could I not believe it?"

Lin Yilan put her right index finger on the document bag and pushed the document bag in front of Guanghongjun.

"Then do you think I will have the opportunity to take on foreign projects in the future?"

After taking back her right hand, she crossed her hands in front of her.

Guang Hongjun reached out and touched the document bag, "I think this issue needs to be understood by Comrade Lin yourself."

Lin Yilan nodded, showing her agreement, and tapped the back of her left hand with her right middle finger, "Director Guang, To be honest, I am very confident in myself. I think I will definitely receive more and more foreign projects in the future, and there will be many opportunities for projects like this one in Denmark,

so I think we can achieve a win-win cooperation . ."

At this point, she finished everything she wanted to say in one breath, and she took out a notebook from her briefcase again.

"Director Guang, this is the furniture I designed for the Danish project. Of course, there are design drawings with accurate dimensions. I entrusted a lawyer to send them to register a patent.

You can see, the reason why I want to propose a cooperation plan is no exaggeration. I have confidence in my own design and the production technology of Jingshi Furniture Factory."

After watching Guang Hongjun hesitate for a while, she picked up her notebook and continued, "Director Guang, I am. I have an idea. In the next ten years, I will design and Jingshi Furniture Factory will produce products.

How about we sell Jingshi Furniture Factory's products to every corner of the world?"

Guang Hongjun was asked. The ground jumped, and he quickly put Lin Yilan's notebook aside, then held his right hand tightly with his left hand, and crossed his legs.

The purpose of these two movements is to control the right hand that is trembling with excitement.

He stared at Lin Yilan. He now felt that he was in a great temptation.

By working with her, as long as her level is really what she says, then the furniture factory can take another step forward, or even two or three steps.

But to cooperate with her, you will definitely have to pay something!

But he was unwilling to give up this opportunity...

So what did the man in front of him want from the furniture factory?

The office of the director of the Jingshi Furniture Factory was quiet for a long time.

It lasted so long that people outside thought there was no one in the factory director's office.

It wasn't until they walked into the open office door that they found their factory director and a lesbian sitting quietly.

Outsiders think that the current atmosphere in the office must be weird, but people sitting in the office don't think so.

Lin Yilan is calm, even a little laid-back.

Because the sofa was so soft, she almost wanted to rest on the backrest.

Looking at Guang Hongjun's changing expression, she could more or less guess what he was thinking.

If she were the director of a furniture factory, she would also be worried that this person who suddenly appeared had some bad intentions.

It can only be said that they are probably people who believe that pie in the sky will not fall.

After another ten minutes, Guang Hongjun picked up Lin Yilan's notebook and read it carefully.

After seeing her furniture design, he could only say that professional ones are different.

For the same chair, their furniture factory produces only a few old styles, or the style that is now used in offices. Now we still have the opportunity to refer to the appearance used by their ancestors. At most, some workers modified the original one because it was inconvenient to use at home and designed a new one.

It was not like the design in her book. It looked like a few random curves, forming a style that he had never seen before.

It seems simple, but as someone who has been the director of a furniture factory for so many years, he knows how difficult it is.

Otherwise, in all their years as a furniture factory, no one has ever designed such a simple and beautiful chair.

After reading the book from beginning to end, another twenty minutes passed.

Lin Yilan looked out the window, she was not anxious at all.

While waiting for Director Guang to read her book, she clearly felt that his mood had changed.

"Director Guang, what do you think of my proposal?"

Guang Hongjun pondered for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and the lines of his cheeks changed.

His teeth were about to break...

Lin Yilan looked at his bulging masseter muscles with a little worry.

"Comrade Lin, please tell me what you want first?" Guang Hongjun opened his mouth and asked.

She leaned over and moved the document bag that Director Guang was holding in front of him.

"Most of my requirements are listed in the contract. Please read the contract first."

There were indeed two handwritten contracts in the document bag. In order to ensure that the legal terms in the contract were applicable, she went to ask for advice after writing the contract. became a law professor at the school.

In addition to the legal terms of the contract, there are two things she cares about most, one is the profit distribution of the furniture products she designs, and the brand of the furniture products she designs.

That's right, she proposed a brand concept when there was basically no brand concept in China. According to her plan, in the future this brand will serve as a branch line of Jingshi Furniture Factory, separate from Jingshi Furniture Factory’s own designed furniture.

All designs under this brand can only be produced after being approved by her. This means that in addition to using her own designs, she will also solicit designs from outside parties.

However, these are just her preliminary thoughts for the time being, and the specific situation will still change with time.

"Comrade Lin, what does your brand 'Lan' mean?" Guang Hongjun also saw the key points of the contract at a glance.

Lin Yilan took the notebook into her hand, turned to the first page, and spread it out in front of Director Guang.

"Director Guang, what I want is that the products I cooperate with the furniture factory should not only have the logo of your Jingshi Furniture Factory on the furniture, but also the brand name 'Lan'."

"This is my The pattern and name designed for this brand."

Then she told Guanghongjun her requirements and ideas for Lan's personal brand.

After Guang Hongjun paused for a while, he said clearly: "Don't you just want to borrow a chicken to lay eggs?"

Borrowing this chicken from the Beijing Furniture Factory gave birth to Lin Yilan's design.

This statement is a bit ugly.

Lin Yilan complained in her heart. She looked at Director Guang's hesitation and took out another document bag from her bag.

"Director Guang, this is the analysis report I made. In the report, I analyzed the pros and cons of cooperation between the furniture factory and me, as well as my expectations for the future development of the Lan brand.

I know you are worried about making wedding dresses for others. , It has damaged the interests of the furniture factory. But I believe that after reading my report, you will not think so. I sincerely think that the cooperation between me and the furniture factory is a win-win situation."

"How much is in your bag ? Something?" After Guang Hongjun took the document bag, he couldn't help but complain: "How many plans have you prepared? Why do I feel that I have completely fallen into your trap?"

He didn't say what he was worried about. , Lin Yilan discovered it, and came up with proof to convince him.

Guang Hongjun rubbed his arms. He was now covered in goosebumps.

He now increasingly suspected that this group of gringos had fallen into her clutches. At such a young age, he is so thoughtful, how could he be taught at home?

Lin Yilan picked up the bag and opened it to Director Guang, "I really have nothing to prepare. I can prepare these things simply because I feel that if I were the director of a furniture factory, what would I want the other party to provide me when I cooperate?"

Based on this idea, I prepared these materials." There

was nothing in her bag except a small notepad, a few pens, and a few white rabbits.

After seeing the white rabbit, Guang Hongjun came to his senses and realized that the lesbian in front of him seemed to be less than twenty years old.

Somehow, his heart softened a little more.

After reading the analysis report made by Lin Yilan, Guang Hongjun had to admit that it made sense and he was very moved.

Putting the report aside, he picked up the previous contract and pointed at the blank space that had not yet been filled in.

It was time to talk about what he felt was most important.

Guang Hongjun sat up straight and stared at Lin Yilan, "Comrade Lin, how much profit do you expect to get from the product you designed?"

Lin Yilan picked up the document bag containing the contract on the table and poured out two piece of paper.

There are several rows of numbers written on the paper.

This is the stepped profit distribution method she came up with.

"Director Guang, if the combined sales of the furniture product I designed at home and abroad do not exceed US$10,000, I will only get 30%. If it exceeds US$10,000, I will get 40%. Even if it exceeds US$10,000, I will get 40%." If the amount exceeds US$100,000, I will take 4.5%.

“Of course, if there is a particularly good situation and the amount exceeds US$300,000, we will calculate the excess ratio, 0.1, 0.1, up to a maximum of 50%. "

After considering the production, sales and after-sales of furniture, as well as the shipping of products, as well as daily management, Lin Yilan drew a red line for herself. She could only take 50% of the gross profit at most. If you take too much, you will easily offend others.

Especially since she also wants to establish a good and lasting cooperative relationship with the furniture factory, she does not think it would be better to ask for too much profit.

Guang Hongjun looked at this distribution method and didn't know what to say.

His two wild big black eyebrows were intertwined, and a deep "Sichuan" pattern was printed in the middle of his eyebrows.

When he thought that he might be taken away by Lin Yilan, he became even more entangled.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked rather reluctantly: "Can the profit given to you be reduced by another 10%?"

Lin Yilan shook her head directly, "I'm afraid not, Director Guang."

"If it weren't for the fact that I am currently studying in college in Beijing and have a good relationship with Zhao Changshun's father, I really would not have chosen your furniture factory as a partner so quickly."

To put it bluntly, every province in the country at this time has at least There are one or two furniture factories. Jingshi Furniture Factory does have some background, but it’s not to the extent that I would only choose them.

Guang Hongjun sighed, he also knew what Lin Yilan was thinking.

"Well, Comrade Lin, our factory leadership team will discuss this matter of cooperation with you. Such an important matter cannot be decided by me alone.

And with this way of cooperation with you, even if we The factory has agreed, but we still need to communicate with the leader to see if he can approve it."

Lin Yilan nodded, she knew this very well.

"Director Guang, when can you give me a specific reply?"

Even if it is clear, you have to set a deadline.

Without a deadline, how can there be a sense of urgency?

Guang Hongjun pressed his head and said, "I'm not sure about this."

She knew that these people were beginning to prepare for the delaying method.

Fortunately, she also guessed it in advance.

"Director Guang, I will start school in a few days. How about this? I can wait for you from now until the 28th at the end of this month. But if there is no news after the 28th, I'm afraid I will have to contact other people. "

After all, you have to think about it. There is not much time for the Danish project, and they will rush me."

Lin Yilan looked at Director Guang apologetically and said polite words, but It means very strongly.

Guang Hongjun was stunned for a moment and said anxiously: "You mean, if you don't cooperate with our furniture factory, you won't contact our furniture factory for that project in Denmark?"

Lin Yilan pretended to be confused and nodded, "Of course, The Danish project and my brand are connected."

Guang Hongjun scratched his cheek and said, "Okay, our furniture factory will do it as soon as possible."

After leaving the furniture factory, Lin Yilan did not leave immediately. .

She walked in a big circle outside the furniture factory, and even walked among several family buildings nearby for a while.

He looked at the busy nursery and kindergarten next to him, and then looked at the old men and women sitting together in the distance chatting.

Lin Yilan leaned against the tree trunk and exhaled forcefully.

She rubbed her temples, closed her eyes, and basked in the sun for a while.

When chatting with the director of the factory, in order to show that she was at ease, she had to turn her head at least eight times to say one sentence. It was really tiring.

Just then a gust of wind blew over. Maybe spring has arrived and the wind is not as cold as before.

She even felt that the skin caressed by the wind had a comfortable feeling of open pores.

Spring is coming.

While waiting for a reply from the furniture factory, Lin Yilan also welcomed the start of school.

In the blink of an eye, she was in the second semester of her sophomore year.

Time flies so fast, it has been a year and a half since she came to Beijing in the blink of an eye, but during this year and a half, she has also done several different projects.

In fact, it is far more than 90% of people in China at the moment, and they have had the experience of going abroad.

Through so many projects, she has gained a lot.

The most direct manifestation is the balance in her HSBC bank card.

Looking at the money lying on her bank card, Lin Yilan thought about the future situation and decided to follow the trend and use it to buy a house like other reborn and time-traveling protagonists.

On this day off, she made an appointment with an older brother who had been prostituted in Beijing for several years through her second sister.

When I woke up early in the morning, I found that most of my roommates were still resting, so I quietly finished washing and left the dormitory.

Riding a bicycle, she shuttled through the streets and alleys, passing several stalls selling vegetables and sellers carrying poles. She kept ringing her bicycle bell all the way to the roadside where they agreed to meet.

As soon as she got off the bicycle, she smelled a scent. She twitched her nose vigorously and sniffed the sweet smell in the air, when she happened to hear the shouting from behind.

"Freshly baked, warm roasted sweet potatoes~"

She often ate sweet potatoes when she was a child, but she didn't know why she wasn't tired of them yet.

Thinking of this, she pushed her bicycle forward and chose a small sweet potato to buy.

She lowered her head and looked at the time. It was still ten minutes before the appointment with Brother Laxian'er. She parked her bicycle and leaned on the car to eat sweet potatoes.

"Comrade Lin? Comrade Lin Yilan!"

As she held the sweet potato in her hand and gnawed it seriously, she heard a rich voice calling her name.

When I looked up, I saw my eldest brother wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket, his hands stuffed into his sleeves and looking around, as if he was looking for someone.

She stuffed the remaining sweet potatoes into her mouth in a few moments, and then waved her hand, "Brother Niu, I'm here."

Only then did Brother Niu see Lin Yilan, and saw a few black marks on her face. Holding sweet potato peel in hand.

"Hey, Comrade Lin, have you not had breakfast? How about we go have breakfast first?"

Lin Yilan pulled out a few tissues from her bag and wiped her fingers clean, "Brother, I have eaten, you Have you eaten? If you haven't, you can go have breakfast first."

Brother Niu shook his head and said, "I ate the buns made by your sister-in-law. Then we go to see the house now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind blew. , he quickly pulled the hat on his head.

Lin Yilan thought so too. The two hit it off immediately and immediately walked towards the first yard they planned to visit today.

After following Brother Niu around to another street, she looked around.

This street is different from the street where I bought sweet potatoes just now. It is obviously much quieter, and the courtyards look quite big.

From time to time, you can see branches in the yard sticking out from the courtyard wall, which makes the atmosphere of the whole street become peaceful and comfortable.

Brother Niu was also quietly observing her while she was looking at the environment.

This Comrade Lin is a big customer. If he can win this order, the family will not have to worry about opening up the business in a few months.

Thinking of her previous request and the money he could take home to give to his wife, Brother Niu's bent back straightened up a lot.

After walking through two alleys and walking to a door, Brother Niu stopped and said, "Comrade Lin, this is the first house we visited today.

Let me tell you about their house first. The yard of their house is also The government came back two years ago, and I heard that this family's ancestor was a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty, so they left this house. Their house is relatively large in Sanjinyuan in Beijing, and it is relatively well preserved. "

Lin Yilan stepped off the pedals of her bicycle and walked to the front door of the house.

The two vermilion door panels are the brightest part of the entire door, especially when contrasted with the two mottled or even off-color eaves columns next to them, the color of the door panels becomes even brighter.

She stared at the door for a while, feeling that the family's new coloring might be a bit inappropriate.

Then he lowered his head and looked at the door piers on the left and right sides of the door. They were even more worn out, and there was even a gap in the door pier on the left.

Immediately afterwards, she walked up the steps and stretched her arms to indicate the depth from the eaves pillar to the door, which was about one meter.

After looking at the door carefully for a while, she took out a notebook and pen from her bag and wrote down what she saw.

Brother Niu behind him saw this and silently walked aside to find a place to squat and smoke a cigarette.

It's good to be particular about it. The more particular it is, the more people want to buy it.

After Lin Yilan smelled the smoke, she quietly took a step back.

She waited until the smell of smoke in the air gradually dissipated before she came down from the door.

"Brother Niu, can we go in now?"

Brother Niu nodded, walked up and knocked on the door, shouting by the way.

"Dong dong dong -"

"I, Old Niu, will bring someone to see your yard."

He turned to look at Lin Yilan who was standing behind him, "Comrade Lin, when you go in, push your bicycle in with you. Otherwise, Leave it outside until you come out."

Lin Yilan was stunned for a moment, nodded her thanks, and then went to push the bicycle.

There are so many thieves in Beijing now, she reminded herself secretly.

Brother Niu helped her carry the bicycle to the door, and the door opened.

A fat woman with short curly hair, bright red lipstick, and a shawl walked out enthusiastically.

"Old Niu, you're finally here. They say you are one of the best in slimming down in our city. I've finally come to expect you."

"This young lady is here to see the house today, right?" , come on, come in quickly,"

she said as she stepped forward to help Lin Yilan lift the bicycle.

"Little sister, I'm not telling you, you have really found the right person. Lao Niu has been doing this job for so many years, and no one has said anything bad about him. Speaking of which, his father also did this back then, and now he has passed on this skill to Son, Lao Niu has lived up to his father's hard work."

Lin Yilan silently raised her head and glanced at this eldest sister, feeling that she was not very old yet, why did she sound like an elder to Brother Niu.

Brother Niu said dumbfoundedly: "Sister Zhao, it's useless no matter how much you brag about me. People don't choose houses based on me. They choose your house. If your house is good, even if they don't look for me, they will." Buy your house."

Sister Zhao smiled proudly, "That's right!" She turned and patted Lin Yilan's arm, "Little sister, come with me, and I will give you a good introduction to our house."

Lin Yilan parked the car and quickly followed Sister Zhao.

It has to be said that this family's yard is much better than she imagined.

She roughly estimated that the large courtyard in Sanjin would be no less than 1,000 square meters. Once she calculated the area, her heart skipped a beat.

When she thought that she could have such a big courtyard house in Beijing, Lin Yilan felt like she was going to have trouble.

Sister Zhao was still talking about her house, "This house, if my lover's relatives didn't insist on taking us to the United States, we would really be reluctant to sell it."

She touched the pillar next to her. "This yard was passed down from our grandfather's grandfather's time. It can be said to be an ancestral property. It is about to be sold from us. I really can't bear it."

Brother Niu interrupted with a smile, "Sister Zhao, how about you Don't sell it. Why don't you go abroad? You can have such a big yard to live in a foreign country!"

Sister Zhao gave Brother Niu a look, "You brat, you are really annoying."

Lin Yilan heard this. With an accent, her ears twitched, "Sister Zhao, you don't sound like someone who grew up in Beijing. You have a southern accent."

Somehow, these words hit Sister Zhao, and her enthusiasm for Lin Yilan was... Taken to the next level.

When she and Brother Niu came out of Sister Zhao's house, Sister Zhao also gave her a banana.

On the way to the second home, Lin Yilan was eating bananas and chatting with Brother Niu.

"Brother Niu, are the other homes I saw today as big as Sister Zhao's?"

Brother Niu put his hands in his sleeves and thought, "There is one house, but that one is a little bit worse than Sister Zhao's, and the location may be a little worse."

" Of course, if you ask me, the location of the three courtyards is the same. How can someone not be a high-ranking official afford to live in such a large courtyard?"

Lin Yilan thought about it and felt the same.

In her opinion, apart from the price, what she values ​​most when buying this courtyard house is the integrity of the house and the friendliness of the neighbors.

For the entire next day, the two of them almost walked around the courtyard in Beijing.

If there was a pedometer, it would be impossible for the two of them to walk less than 20,000 steps a day.

Brother Niu walked to the back and admired Lin Yilan.

He thought that for a young person like her who had so much money, she would choose whichever house had a nicer house owner.

Unexpectedly, he walked seriously for a whole day. Every time he came out of a house, he wrote down a lot of things in his notebook.

After viewing the last house, the sky gradually darkened.

Lin Yilan glanced at the time, pointed to the noodle shop not far away and said, "Brother Niu, you've worked hard today. I'll treat you to a bowl of beef noodles tonight."

She saw that he seemed to be refusing, so she added: "Just right. Let’s talk about my thoughts on these houses today, and I would like to ask you to help me.”

Seeing her say this, Brother Niu couldn’t refuse anymore.

The two entered the noodle shop, ordered food, and then found an empty table and sat down.

Lin Yilan first asked for boiling water, scalded the chopsticks in front of her, and then took out the notebook from her bag.

"Brother Niu, have you visited almost all the three-in-one courtyard houses currently for sale in Beijing today?"

Brother Niu recalled the houses in his hands and the market prices he learned, and nodded, "Almost There may be one or two more, but the conditions of those two are probably not as good as the ones we saw today. "

The ones we saw today should have the clearest property rights, and the yards are more in line with your requirements."

Lin. Yilan flipped through the book in front of her. Apart from the first set, she was most satisfied with the third and fourth sets.

She compared the conditions of the three courtyards back and forth, hesitated for a while, raised her head and said, "Brother Niu, help me ask if the prices of the first and third courtyards can be cheaper. They are all going abroad. I can find a way to transfer foreign currency to them to settle the bill. "

In the season when everything recovers, the least important thing is rain.

Lin Yilan held the newly issued real estate license, and she couldn't help but touch her name.

"Sister Xiao Lin, the property transfer has been completed, we will leave first." Sister Zhao held her husband's arm and smiled at Lin Yilan.

Lin Yilan nodded and waved to Sister Zhao, "Okay, Sister Zhao, see you when you have the opportunity."

She carefully folded the real estate license in half, sandwiched it in a thick book, and then put the book into the document bag. Finally, I put the document bag into my bag.

After doing all this, she reached out and touched the outer cover of the document bag, feeling her heart beating wildly.

When she saw Brother Niu coming out, she took out her hand and zipped up the bag.

"Brother Niu, the matter is done. Thank you for taking this time."

Brother Niu held a cigarette in his mouth without lighting it. "It's easy to talk about it. If you want to buy a house in the future, or if your friends want to buy a house, just come to me. I will definitely give it to you." It's done as well as this time."

Lin Yilan patted her schoolbag and said, "Don't worry, Brother Niu, I've kept your address and contact information."

"Okay! I'll go now, Comrade Lin. "Brother Niu waved his hand and rushed into the rain.

After Lin Yilan watched Brother Niu leave, she shook her umbrella, opened it and walked into the rain.

The rain was getting heavier and her shoes, socks, and trousers were all wet.

Along with the rain comes wind. The wind blows everywhere, causing the raindrops to follow irregular patterns.

Unknowingly, her shoulders were also wet.

She happened to pass by a familiar alley entrance.

It's Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu's house.

Looking at the large courtyard not far away and the familiar gate, she immediately thought about it.

She felt that the rain would not stop for a while, so she decided to shamelessly go to the door to hide from the rain.

Knocking on the door of the courtyard, a familiar loud voice immediately rang.

"Who is it?"

Lin Yilan patted the raindrops on her sleeves, "Aunt Liu, it's me, Xiao Lin, Lin Yilan."

Liu Xiaohua opened the door immediately. She saw Lin Yilan who was half wet and immediately welcomed her. Entered the courtyard.

"Xiao Lin, why are you so wet? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Yilan stood at the door of Aunt Liu's house, shaking the water off her body. "I came to ZF to do some errands. It hadn't rained when I went out. When I came out, It was raining more and more when I walked to your house, so I wanted to come to your house to take shelter from the rain. I

'm sorry to have to come to you unexpectedly."

Liu Xiaohua made a cup of hot brown sugar and put it on the table in the living room. Then he turned around and went to the house, "Xiao Lin, why are you so polite to Auntie? We are already so familiar.

If something happens to you, let alone not saying hello, it will be fine even if you knock on the door in the middle of the night to look for me and your Uncle Zhao.

" After that, she took out another towel from the room and handed it to Lin Yilan.

"I bought a new towel from the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago. Xiao Lin, please wipe your hair."

Holding the shiny white towel, Lin Yilan felt embarrassed, "Aunt Liu, just give me the towel you don't use. ..."

Liu Xiaohua grabbed the towel, covered her head, and started rubbing it.

"Young man just loves to be polite."

Although her head was dizzy from being rubbed, Lin Yilan still felt a little warm in her heart.

Thinking about it, she sneezed.

"Ah Sneeze—"

She rubbed her nose and sighed as she had a bad feeling.

Liu Xiaohua patted her head, "Xiao Lin, you wipe it yourself first, and I'll bring the stove over and bake it for you for a while."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Yilan saw Aunt Liu running out in a hurry.

Not long after she wiped her hair, she saw Aunt Liu running over with a tin stove and a large floral cotton-padded jacket.

In the blink of an eye, the heat of the stove was next to her feet, and she was wrapped in a thick cotton jacket.

Lin Yilan sniffed, took off her wet coat and put it aside, then smiled gratefully at Aunt Liu.

"Xiaohua, it's raining so hard, please burn more briquettes, don't freeze them."

Uncle Zhao walked in from the outside covered with sawdust.

"Uncle Zhao, excuse me." Lin Yilan quickly stood up and explained the situation.

Zhao Sanli waved his hand, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

"By the way, has the matter at the furniture factory been resolved?" He held his steaming teacup and sat across from her.

Lin Yilan shook her head and held her chin depressedly, "Their factory director is out on a business trip, and I can't be in a hurry."

"Look, if the factory director doesn't come back this weekend, I might find another furniture factory. Let's try it." After saying this, she felt a little embarrassed to face Uncle Zhao's son.

Zhao Sanli smacked his lips and said, "Xiao Lin, you must not worry about Changshun. It will be bad if you delay your own affairs because of him."

"If I were you, I would have no patience now, and I would suffer Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given up my job to Chang Shun so quickly if I didn’t have that squeaky, squeaky way of dealing with things in the furniture factory.”

Liu Xiaohua rushed to Zhao Sanli, “ "Zhao Sanli, I remind you, don't use bad words in front of children! It's a bad behavior."

Zhao Sanli winced and nodded, "Xiaohua, I know, I didn't pay attention."

Lin Yilan covered her. Mouth snickered.

Zhao Sanli caught a glimpse of her little movements from the corner of his eye and twisted his butt a little uncomfortably.

"Cough." She pretended to cough a few times, looked at the bag next to her that was not wet at all, and thought of something.

"Uncle Zhao, I have a job for you recently. Are you willing to do it? It's not a lot of money, and it takes a little time."

Zhao Sanli put down the tea cup and turned around with interest, "What's the matter?"

Lin Yilan raised it He lowered his chin, then looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Zhao, I bought a yard with the money I earned abroad. You can ask your old friends to help repair it.

The price and other things, I How about the market price?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but puff up her chest, looking a little proud.

Zhao Sanli slapped the table and said, "Okay, Xiao Lin, that's great! He is indeed a cultural person, but he is worse than us old men."

"Leave the repairs to the yard to me, and I will restore it to its original appearance for you. As for the money? If it's money, don't give it."

"We've been friends for so long. It's too much for you to pay for such a small thing."

Liu Xiaohua put a plate of washed apples next to her. When they arrived at the dining table, "That's right, Xiao Lin. We've known each other for so long, and it's pointless to ask you to give us money."

As she said this, she took the apple and stuffed it into Lin Yilan's hand.

Lin Yilan took the apple and took a big bite, "No, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu both said that the brothers still have to settle the accounts. It's because we have such a good cooperative relationship, so we can't take advantage of you."

"And I bought a big yard this time. Uncle Zhao, if you don't charge for it, then your friend won't charge for it either? I can't let you repair my house for free and end up paying for it, right?"

The three of them pushed and pulled. It took a long time until the cracks in the apple in her hand were oxidized.

"Let's do this, Xiao Lin, you must give money, then you can only pay for the materials. I will tell my old friends about the rest, and they will agree."

Seeing what she wanted to say, Zhao Sanli raised his head to stop her. , "Xiao Lin, just think of this as a moving gift from your Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu in advance."

Lin Yilan was embarrassed to refuse after he said this.

She had no choice but to sigh helplessly, "Okay, Uncle Zhao, just don't think it's troublesome for me. My house will definitely not be completely restored, and it will definitely need to be redesigned."

Zhao Sanli took an apple and tossed it up and down in his hand, "It's not troublesome. I've cooperated with you so many times. I don't know what kind of person you are?"

"Guifeo, you also like to pay attention to details. "There's something else, Mom."

"I'm definitely mentally prepared to cooperate with you. Don't worry."

Look, look, what else can she say?

Is she really that bad-tempered?

Lin Yilan wrinkled her nose. Well, she did like to catch these things.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the rain gradually became lighter and almost stopped.

Lin Yilan glanced at the time and saw that it was getting late, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

After leaving Uncle Zhao and Aunt Liu's house, she ran back to school wearing half-wet and half-dry shoes.

After returning to the dormitory, she immediately took off her shoes.

Continuously stretching her toes, she felt like she was finally alive.

"Xiao Lin, you're back." When Xiong Zhaodi came in with a kettle, she saw Lin Yilan sitting on a stool with her legs in a daze.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Xiong Zhaodi put down the kettle, walked up to her and waved.

"Hey! You scared me."

Looking at Xiong Zhaodi who suddenly appeared in front of her, Lin Yilan patted her chest.

She just took advantage of the fact that no one was collecting the real estate license in the dormitory and touched her name again. She was immersed in great joy.

She didn't wake up until Xiong Zhaodi appeared.

Xiong Zhaodi didn't expect that this would also scare her.

"I'm sorry." After she apologized helplessly, she waved to Lin Yilan mysteriously.

"When I came out of the counselor's office in the morning, I overheard a shocking news."

Lin Yilan walked next to Xiong Zhaodi cooperatively, showing a curious look.

What big news could make Sister Zhaodi look like this.

Xiong Zhaodi turned her head and glanced at the door, then leaned against Lin Yilan's ear and said, "I heard from the counselor and other teachers that foreigners will come to visit several schools in Beijing next week, including our school, so We need to select a group of students who are good at speaking English from our three years to serve as volunteers. "

Xiao Lin, you can communicate with foreigners!" She couldn't help but pull Lin Yilan's sleeves and stood on the bench excitedly. Tossing and turning.

She held Lin Yilan's hand again, "And the chairman of a well-known American clothing brand will come over. It's the brand that Hang Xiulan often talks about."

"What's it called? I forgot about it." She said lightly Scratching his cheek gently.

Lin Yilan was silent for a moment and then said her name, "SG?"
