Chapter 142: Contemplating Driving
He only gradually came to understand these lessons after experiencing company bankruptcy and being tricked.
The aunt rarely leaves the village, and she understands these principles.
It can only be said that reading more books is still useful. Knowledge gained from books is ultimately superficial. Without knowledge gained from books, even if you go out, it will be useless. You won't even recognize the road signs and will just wander aimlessly.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll take good care of myself."
Lu Ran had already begun preparations; when the flood came, the industries he had built would be his fortress.
Of course, this is far from enough.
Wu Meimei nodded: "It's good that you understand."
"It's getting late, you still need to get back to Chengjiang, so hurry up and leave!"
"Alright, Auntie, Uncle Wu, we'll be going now."
After being invisible for a while, Wu Qiang finally felt a little more noticed and nodded with a smile: "Okay, take care on the road."
Wu Meimei looked at Hu Wen and said, "Xiao Wen, come to our house to play whenever you have time. Auntie will treat you well next time you come. You have to go back today, it's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."
Hu Wen smiled and said, "Okay, Auntie."
After saying goodbye to each of them, Lu Ran and the other two got up and returned to Chengjiang.
"Mr. Lu, let me drive!"
"No need, you've been driving for so long without taking a break, I'll drive this time."
"But Mr. Lu, your hand..."
Lu Ran moved his right hand: "Don't worry, I'm almost fully recovered."
He has a special effect bonus from his title, which makes his recovery speed much faster than normal people. Half a month has passed, and his wound has long since healed. He can drive a car without any problem.
Seeing that Lu Ran insisted, Hu Wen had no choice but to go to the back row and sit next to Cheng Ning.
Although Cheng Ning knew that Lu Ran's hand was almost healed, she still felt a little sorry for him.
Filled with guilt, she couldn't even help with something as simple as driving, yet she was talking about sharing Lu Ran's burdens.
At this moment, Cheng Ning had a small goal in mind: to learn how to drive.
A few hours later.
The group arrived in Chengjiang City.
Lu Ran gave Hu Wen two days off, paid leave. Hu Wen was initially embarrassed, but when she heard Lu Ran say it was okay, she quickly agreed and thanked her boss for approving the leave.
After dropping Hu Wen off near her residence, Lu Ran took Cheng Ning back to the villa complex.
More than half a month later.
Before the Lunar New Year, Cheng Ning and Lu Ran moved house in a hurry. In the end, Cheng Ning finished moving all her things, but she didn't get to go inside and experience it.
Today marks the first time she has truly moved into her new home.
The thought of living under the same roof as Lu Ran filled Cheng Ning with both anticipation and a touch of shyness.
"Old Bai is really efficient."
Upon entering the villa, the interior decoration and furniture are now completely different from before.
Although it was renovated before, there was not much furniture inside, so it looked rather empty.
But now, we have most of the basics we need.
The furniture and appliances inside the house, as well as the lawn, garden, and gazebo in the yard, are all very well maintained.
Before returning home for the Chinese New Year, Lu Ran asked Bai Yongxiang to contact some reliable businesses to renovate his villa, equip all the rooms with the necessary furniture, and improve the gym.
When I returned after the New Year, the villa had changed dramatically, and there was hardly any smell of renovation inside, which meant that the formaldehyde had been treated.
It seems that some people were working during the Chinese New Year holiday.
After all, he pays a lot of money, and if he advertises high wages, there will be plenty of people vying to do the work.
Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning to the gym.
He was surprised when he opened the door.
It's just as good as any small or medium-sized gym outside, with all kinds of equipment.
"It's good to be rich."
Lu Ran couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, when he invested in this and that, and opened treasure chests to get all kinds of luxury cars, Lu Ran always felt a bit dazed and unreal.
But now, he is truly experiencing the thrill of being rich.
"From now on, you can work out in this gym."
The fitness plan hasn't even had a chance to work yet, so we can't let it go to waste. The more money you have, the more you need to take care of your health, so this is something you absolutely must do.
However, Cheng Ning misunderstood and said with a wronged expression, "Do you...do you think I'm fat?"
Previously, Lu Ran told her to exercise and get her a treadmill at home, but Cheng Ning thought Lu Ran was just saying it as an excuse to move to a new house.
But now that Cheng Ning sees that Lu Ran has actually set up a gym for her, she wonders if Lu Ran thinks she's gained weight, which is why he's making this demand.
Lu Ran was both amused and exasperated.
"With your weight of just over 50 kilograms and height of over 1.7 meters, you're definitely not fat at all, are you?"
"I just think that we should exercise after sitting for so long. We often get up early to exercise, so the gym is just another option."
Cheng Ning blinked: "How do you know how tall and heavy I am?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ran pulled Cheng Ning up, hugged her, measured her height using himself as a benchmark, and then lifted her up to weigh her in his arms.
"Yes, that's how we got the data. Now you know!"
Cheng Ning blushed and said, "Oh."
Then she whispered, "Lu Ran."
"Um?"
I want to get my driver's license.
Lu Ran lowered her head: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Cheng Ning pursed her lips: "I just suddenly thought of it."
"Okay, I'll take you to the hospital to get your eyesight checked tomorrow."
Cheng Ning smiled happily: "Okay."
She was blind before, and she had to pass a vision test before she could get a driver's license.
She thought that if she told Lu Ran about it, he would refuse on the grounds that he was worried about her eyes, or tell her to wait until later to take the exam.
But she didn't expect Lu Ran to agree so readily, and that he would take her to the hospital to test her eyesight tomorrow.
These inexplicable emotions of girls.
Lu Ran couldn't understand it.
Amused, I asked, "You're so happy about getting your driver's license? You really want to drive that much?"
Cheng Ning did not answer the question.
She wanted to take the driving test because she felt guilty for not being able to help when she returned to Chengjiang today. She wanted to gradually improve herself in all aspects so that she could truly share Lu Ran's burdens.
night.
Lu Ran opened his laptop in the study and organized the materials that Bai Yongxiang had sent him in recent days.
These are detailed lists of investment funds for various projects.
Construction of the welfare amusement park has begun, and the purpose of every penny of funding is clearly marked.
Such a capable assistant is something the boss really likes.
Lu Ran roughly calculated the costs of the amusement park, the construction of the village company building, the development of the orchard, and other investment projects, such as the Liangmu pet food processing plant, the training costs for new employees at Qianhai Hotel, and the short-term sunk costs of replacing hotel staff.
I don't know, I was taken aback.
He was about to allocate most of his two small targets' worth of liquid funds.
If these industries start generating profits later, they might be able to recover some of the losses, but that will take at least a year or two.
Luckily he had the system, otherwise, no matter how rich he was, he couldn't keep up with this kind of behavior!
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the study door, and Cheng Ning, wearing an apron, appeared in the doorway.
"Dinner is ready."
Lu Ran smiled gently: "Okay, coming right away."
