Chapter 169 Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat

Although Lu Yanran said she wanted to edit the pictures, she downloaded the pictures sent to her local computer and did not actually spend time editing them. Instead, she turned off her phone and said, "Mr. Lei, let me tell you something. I'm sorry, I may need to go back early tonight. I have a group paper. After everything is done, I need to make the final confirmation before submitting it."

"Are you the team leader?"

“Not really, but I’m the one who does the final review every time, so I’m probably more careful.”

Lei Qing picked up the old purple clay Xishi teapot and poured tea for the other party. Lu Yanran tapped the table twice to express her gratitude, "Mr. Lei, I heard from my father that you were the only college student in your village back then."

Lei Qing is 67 years old and has a bachelor's degree. After graduating from high school, he farmed at home for two years before taking the exam... After graduation, he worked as a doctor and in medical sales. He now runs three hospitals and two companies that make skin care products. He controls the supply of CT room equipment in City A and seven surrounding cities.

He loves color and beauty, but he also has some sentimentality.

Lu Yanran was introduced to different elders by her mother. In the first two or three times, her inner disgust and nausea were greater than anything else, especially when she listened to Lu Zhiheng's verbal abuse and slander against her, which made her feel even more aggrieved.

She stayed alone in the room, poured a glass of wine, and looked at the starry sky outside through the curtains that swayed in the wind... In confusion and self-loathing, she contacted Fang Zhi, but Fang Zhi was busy.

She was also in school like herself, and she had another thing going on, she was in a relationship. In addition, after the summer vacation, Shen Jiaojiao slowly started her business, and Fang Zhi's relationship with her father gradually improved.

Fang Zhi started to go to the company more frequently. Although Lu Yanran heard that she did not punch in at the company, her father would take her to some meetings and social events. She no longer had the resistance she had a long time ago and cooperated more and more.

Apart from Fang Zhi, the next person Lu Yanran thought of was Shen Jiaojiao, but she seemed a little reluctant in her heart, so she was reluctant to take the initiative to contact Shen Jiaojiao. What's more, she didn't want to talk to Shen Jiaojiao about this kind of thing.

But one night, she put down her wine glass, feeling depressed, and sent a message to Shen Jiaojiao, even though it would have been easier to just call her.

"Jiaojiao, if you slowly learn how to socialize, and the people you meet are always older, how would you feel?"

She asked very subtly, sent the message, and then wondered if this could be considered as being too cautious and avoiding medical treatment.

Since my question was so inaccurate, naturally, the answer from the other end should also be inaccurate.

So, she just threw the phone away and didn't hold much hope for Shen Jiaojiao's answer.

Because she would never confess to Shen Jiaojiao that her mother treated her as a gift, waiting to be sold at a price in different occasions every day. She would never tell Shen Jiaojiao about this even if she died.

Unexpectedly, that night, Shen Jiaojiao immediately sent a voice message to reply to her, "Yanran, your parents have started to help you do business? This is a good thing... In fact, in social situations, if you always meet someone like me, who grew up with you, a new recruit, and you are smart, wouldn't you immediately learn the other person's shining points? If you want to learn later, it will be too late.

As for the so-called older people your parents introduced you to, they are very good. They must have enough social experience and sophistication, and they hold high positions. They actually have more personality.

"More personality?"

"Yes, only those who have climbed to high positions are familiar with all kinds of rules and are good at exploiting them. Such people have gained power and will express more of their true personality in certain situations.

My uncle taught me that in social situations, people who haven't yet reached a high position may just be showing off, and not their true nature. You have to be more careful or attentive.

He may be humble just to keep his tail between his legs, so that others will think he is a fool and then sympathize with and trust him; he may be rebellious just to bluff so that others will trust him and invest more in him; he may be resolute just to make you follow his lead and sign a contract with him quickly; he may be wronged just to exaggerate it for you to see...

"Jiaojiao, you know a lot. So, what you mean is that when I meet older people, I should communicate with them more and learn more from them?"

"Well, if there's a chance, I'd also like to get to know more people. Do you know Chu Xia and Ji Yalan? These two are the girls I've been particularly admiring lately."

After chatting with Shen Jiaojiao that time, Lu Yanran's mood inexplicably stopped being so sad. She walked barefoot on the carpet, went to the window, gently opened the curtains, and looked up at the moon.

The moon has its dark and bright sides, and everything has two sides. It is easy to know what my parents are thinking. According to that kind of thinking, I really dislike their arrangements.

Well, there are two options. The first is to resist, or even end the argument coldly. If things get worse, maybe even commit suicide...

The second one is to take advantage of the situation. Will the arrow that comes to you hurt yourself, or is it just a "borrowed arrow from a straw boat"?

It depends on how you look at it. Just as everything has two sides, are you pessimistic and self-pitying, or are you optimistic?

My parents shouldn't be so stupid as to tie me up and throw me into someone's bed. They should be thinking more about 'waiting for the price'... In that case, the situation I'm facing is not a dead end.

So, Qi Qiran, you are being pretentious.

"I guess so. At our time, many people didn't study. It's not necessarily that I'm better than them. The main reason is that many people didn't realize the importance of studying."

Hearing this, Lu Yanran smiled and said, "You're too modest. College students in that era were precious, and your mentality is that everyone else is not bad either. You can imagine your mindset... In my opinion, they didn't realize the importance of studying, which in itself means they are not as good as you, at least in terms of cognition, they are far behind you. You were still studying medicine, right?"

Everyone likes to be praised, without exception, even if Lei Qing doesn't show it on his face, and the boasting is too long... "Well, to be honest, my vision was not high at the time. Although I also thought that I was doing it to save lives, my parents also said that this was a good job. Then, after considering various factors, I signed up."

"The hardest part is the Edison exam... Anyway, I know that the scores for medical majors are relatively high every year. But when you think about it, it should be so. Doctors are here to save lives and heal the wounded. There can't be any mistakes in what they learn. Only outstanding people like you can do this. How can we ordinary people be assured..."

These words were enough to make the elder recall the time when he studied hard... Lu Yanran returned the favor, picked up the pot, and refilled his tea, "Mr. Lei, I have something to show you..."

After brewing the tea, Lu Yanran took her handbag, unscrewed it, took out an envelope from it, and handed it over respectfully with both hands.

"This is?"

"Please open it and take a look."

Lei Qing looked at the pink envelope. He thought it was the unique purity that a young girl possessed, something he had always liked. This envelope especially had a faint fragrance, like the scent of gardenias. "Do you like flowers?"

"Huh? How did you know? I've learned flower arranging, and it's the only one I took the initiative to learn. It's an extracurricular interest class."

The man took a closer look. The girl in front of him was like a pure gardenia, elegant and fragrant. Just staring at her was beautiful.

Lu Yanran raised her hand to signal him to look at the envelope. Only then did he react and happily pulled out a photo from it.

"Did you take the photo?"

"Yes," Lu Yanran came over and clicked somewhere on it, "Look, I went to your alma mater last year. We had an event as part of the student union. And this photo of you, with the introduction next to it, had the most words. I saw it at the time and took a picture of it. I didn't expect that we would meet again a year later."

Once the word "fate" is added to the distance between people, it seems as if there are more fetters. If you want to accomplish something in the future, the possibilities will increase a lot.

These words were taught to Lu Yanran by her mother. Since she started college, she has been an officer of the student union and later promoted to vice president. She has visited many universities and high-tech enterprises.

She would never miss any opportunity to take a photo with any 'successful person' that she might meet in the future.

Her mother said that she had learned this well.

Lei Qing was obviously a little overwhelmed. Although he kept shaking his head at this so-called fate, he was actually very happy in his heart... It was like a dead tree meeting spring, and the flower buds quietly emerged.

"The photo is a little dark, I'm sorry," the little girl said coquettishly.

“No, I won’t.”

The dishes were served one after another, and the meal was pleasant. The man did not do too much touching. Lu Yanran used several tricks in a row, which made the man feel that he could not just deceive the girl for fun... but that the two of them could get along a little better.

He is not in a hurry to pick the flower he likes... because the bud will definitely bloom beyond his expectations.

Lu Yanran talked to him about flower arrangement, and then talked about which flowers can calm the mind, and then talked about which flowers are not suitable to be placed in the bedroom...

No woman has ever been able to speak so slowly and hold hands so tenderly... For several moments, he just nodded stupidly and responded, "Yes, the rose essential oil has the effect you mentioned. A colleague of mine seemed to have told you the same thing."

Lu Yanran didn't just talk about her own topics, she also led the topic to him, but she would occasionally shut up appropriately and just listen.

"Oh, you were the one who performed that bypass surgery that made a sensation across the country 13 years ago? Wow, that was amazing, it was a first! I remember it very clearly. I was in elementary school at the time, and when I got home, many channels were broadcasting reports about that incident."

As she was speaking, Lu Yanran's cell phone rang. She turned it to vibrate mode so it wasn't too noisy, but she knew that it was Lu Zhiheng who was getting impatient and seeing that she hadn't finished her meal yet, she followed his orders and went out.

I was so anxious that I sent messages to argue.

Next, there are about 10 minutes left. If I don’t go out, he will call me directly.

Recently, several times, he has been like this...
