Chapter 81 Idiot
After hanging up with Li Hongyang, Lu Ran made a phone call.
Since we're going to participate in the auction, we need to register and obtain a qualification certificate in advance.
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"Nini, I need you to do something for me."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Lu."
Liu Nini was highly recommended by Bai Yongxiang, and she remained steadfastly on the front lines when the company ran into trouble.
The other party proved her ability through actual work, so Lu Ran decided to entrust this task to her.
Lu Ran gave a brief account of the land auction.
A few minutes later, the other party replied: "Mr. Lu, I've checked this land. To participate in the auction, you need at least 30 million in funds."
"Money is not a problem. I will prepare 100 million. On the day of the auction, you will stay in touch with me the whole time. Just do whatever I say."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone before someone said with difficulty, "Mr. Lu, I've checked with Sister Qian about the company's current financial situation, and it seems we can't come up with that much cash."
"I never said I'd take it from the company account; I'll pay for it myself."
"Mr. Lu, do you have 100 million in cash?"
"I'm telling you, you just do it. Little Ni, you still have a lot to learn from Lao Bai in some aspects."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I understand. I'll handle it. I'll register tomorrow."
Lu Ran nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, that's settled then!"
"By the way, you should ask Hu Wen to come with you, so you can look out for each other."
"Yes, Mr. Lu."
Lu Ran hung up the phone and opened the stock app.
He only has a few million in his account right now.
But he still has 200 million in stocks, and there are still a few days before the auction, so he can sell them slowly and that should be enough.
Since acquiring the 200 million yuan worth of stocks, Lu Ran has never paid any attention to them.
I thought I was likely to lose a lot of money, and that selling it would reduce the value even more, but that's just how stocks are, there's nothing I can do about it.
However, when Lu Ran opened the software, he found that he not only didn't lose money, but actually made nearly a thousand.
This was an unexpected surprise.
Given his size, a large-scale sell-off could cause stock market turmoil, so Lu Ran chose to sell 20 million units first to test the waters.
After listing it for half an hour, it sold for over a million yuan. Lu Ran had no choice but to put his phone away and check back tomorrow.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Today is Friday, and the stock market will not be able to trade until next week.
By 2 p.m., Lu Ran had finally sold 100 million yuan worth of goods.
Fortunately, Lu Ran had been immersed in the stock market these past few days, selling in batches and at intervals, which prevented him from losing money or causing too much fluctuation. The 100 million he left behind is still on a slight upward trend.
"Knock knock knock".
"Please come in."
Lu Ran didn't close the door, and soon Cheng Ning walked into his room.
It's a bit awkward, really. Lu Ran's apartment is a single room, much smaller than Cheng Ning's. The only thing in the room besides the computer chair is the bed.
However, Lu Ran usually doesn't tidy up after getting up, and her room looks messy, making it unappealing for others to sit down.
He awkwardly stood up and pointed to the chair: "Why don't you sit here?"
"I've seen many science bloggers online say that spreading out your blankets every morning can reduce the growth of mites and make you healthier and more hygienic."
"So it's not that I'm lazy, it's for my health."
"Yes, that's right, that's the reason."
Cheng Ning said softly, "The blankets should be spread out; they shouldn't be folded together."
"But it shouldn't be spread out on the ground; what if it gets dirty?"
Lu Ran: ......
Just as he was wondering how to smooth things over, he saw Cheng Ning begin tidying up the house for him.
The attention to detail extends to every corner of the room.
Of course, Cheng Ning didn't dare linger in the bathroom. She washed her hands and came out, because Lu Ran's underwear was hanging inside.
"Lu Ran".
"Hmm, are you tired? Come, sit down."
"No, I meant, are you free today? Shall we go out for a walk?"
Cheng Ning spoke nervously, fidgeting with her fingers.
She knew Lu Ran had been quite busy lately, and that doing this was very inconsiderate and irrational.
So he quickly and cautiously added, "Just, just two places, no, an hour is enough."
"Is it...okay?"
Cheng Ning carefully observed the expression on Lu Ran's face, very afraid of seeing impatience or dissatisfaction on his face.
Lu Ran helplessly rubbed her head.
"I told you not to be so careful when you talk to me. What are you afraid of if I go shopping with you?"
"I'm afraid of keeping you busy with other things."
"What are you afraid of? Even if something really happens, I'll tell you, and then we can go out at another time."
"So you have to be bolder, otherwise people will always think I'm abusing you when we go out."
Cheng Ning tentatively asked, "Really, can I be a little bolder?"
"certainly."
Cheng Ning wrinkled her nose: "Then, could you please stop rubbing my head all the time?"
"That won't work."
Cheng Ning: o_o....
Some time later, the two appeared on the street.
Cheng Ning didn't say where she was going, and Lu Ran didn't ask either. The two of them continued to walk aimlessly as usual.
I boarded a bus with no destination in mind, got off at a random stop, and continued walking aimlessly.
As they walked, Lu Ran noticed that Cheng Ning seemed a little downcast.
He asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Cheng Ning shook her head and remained silent.
Lu Ran didn't think much of it and looked ahead, saying, "What a coincidence, Lianyu Internet Cafe is just ahead. How about we go there and have some fun? Your eyes are better now, but it seems like you haven't had a proper game yet!"
"Anything is fine."
"Alright, let's go. We can go check if my godson is slacking off. If I catch him, I'll dock a month's salary."
Lu Ran suddenly thought of a perfect opportunity for revenge.
The titles "Excellent Hand-Eye Coordination" and "Excellent Auditory Memory" seem to be useful not only for playing the piano, but also for playing games—wouldn't they be a super cheat code?
The former allows for efficient operation, while the latter allows for efficient sound localization.
It's the ultimate cheat code.
After being abused time and time again, Lu Ran finally found an opportunity to take revenge and was already looking forward to the scene of him rubbing his adopted son in the ground.
Cheng Ning didn't pay much attention to what Lu Ran said. Her gaze was fixed on their hands, which were just a little bit apart.
Finally, Cheng Ning mustered her courage and grabbed Lu Ran.
Since Lu Ran wouldn't hold her hand, she would take the initiative.
Lu Ran naturally had no idea that Cheng Ning was sullen because he hadn't held her hand when they came out.
He was taken aback when Cheng Ning took his hand.
Then he smiled and said, "You've become more sensible, knowing to hold hands when crossing the street. Let's go!"
Cheng Ning muttered under her breath, "Idiot."
"What?"
"It's nothing."
at this time.
At Lianyu Internet Cafe.
Chu Yunhui sat in his office, boasting about his glorious achievements to Li Shang over the phone.
"Shang, you have no idea how badly I tortured Old Lu that day. He was crying and screaming, he was practically begging me not to kill him."
"In the end, he even lost the entire internet cafe to me, haha, isn't that amazing!"
"Keep bragging."
Don't believe me?
"Of course I don't believe it. I'll give you the internet cafe. Don't think I don't know you're working for Lao Lu now."
"Tch, so what? It's a fact that I beat him up."
"By the way, Shang, what's the point of him making so much money if he's a single guy? He doesn't even know how to find a partner."
"Who said Lao Lu is single? I forgot to tell you, Lao Lu may still be single, but his future partner is a stunning beauty. He might even get married before you."
"A reward? That's a bit of an overstatement. Old Lu just gave you a graphics card, and you're being too obsequious. What about your male pride?"
Just then, a waiter knocked on the door.
"Manager, the boss is here."
Then Chu Yunhui heard Lu Ran's voice: "Old Chu."
Chu Yunhui immediately stood up: "Hahaha, godfather, your godson is here!"
