After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

However, Lin Fan's next words made the landlady's face stiffen and she fell silent.

"If you're still hungry, shall I make you another dinner?"

Looking at Lin Fan's serious expression, Fang Dong seemed to be thinking nothing of herself, her expression looking like that of a block of wood.

Lin Fan was just teasing her.

He knew in his heart that this kind of dinner would be difficult for people who weren't used to it to accept.

The landlord clearly preferred the stewed pork ribs and twice-cooked pork they had just eaten to those dishes.

"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. Sit down and eat with us."

Seeing Lin Fan smile and extend another invitation to her, the landlady gave a soft hum, her expression softening considerably.

However, after hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No need, I said I would adapt."

“Since this is how people eat abroad, I need to adapt to it myself, otherwise all the agreements we made would have been for nothing.”

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Adaptation takes time. You don't need to worry so much right now. Take it slow and gradually increase the frequency of eating these foreign foods. You'll gradually get used to it."

At this point, Lin Fan sighed again and said, "Actually, I'm very curious, why do you insist on forcing yourself to adapt to foreign food?"

"Other things may be unchangeable, but when it comes to food, even if you go abroad, you can make the food you want to eat yourself."

The landlady blushed slightly: "This... I just don't know how, do you expect me to hire a housekeeper to cook for me from now on?"

Lin Fan smiled, but he didn't mean to look down on the other person.

Therefore, in this era, girls who can't cook are rarer than the sun in the sky. But it's not like there aren't some rich young ladies who never lift a finger and can't cook.

"You can learn it."

"If you learn it, you won't have to compromise your taste. If you don't learn it, you'll avoid the hardship of not learning, but you'll have to endure the hardship of satisfying your appetite."

"Anyway, you have to endure one of the two kinds of hardship. Think about it yourself. If you want to learn to cook, my wife and I can teach you. We would be happy to teach you."

The landlady thought for a moment, a hint of hesitation on her face, then slowly nodded: "I can think about it!"

"Okay, let me think about it. If I've decided I want to learn how to cook, I'll come find you!"

"it is good!"

After a simple meal, Lin Fan and Lin Shuying tidied up the house a little and then went back to rest.

These past two days, because I just moved here, my work has been relatively relaxed, but with all sorts of other things going on, my life has become quite hectic.

So after a busy day, the two of them quickly fell asleep.

Clearly, Lin Fan didn't take the meeting between Manager Liu and Secretary Luo today to heart.

Even less is known is that, not long after he left, undercurrents were already brewing.

……

Let's go back six hours.

Manager Zhao did not get a satisfactory answer from Secretary Luo, so he had no choice but to seek help from others.

This matter could be described as a personal feud between himself and Lin Fan, or it could be described as Lin Fan trying to steal their Yunchou business.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, he cannot bear this pressure alone.

So after returning to the company, Manager Zhao inquired and found out that he had indeed received some very good news.

"Manager Zhao, the boss told me to tell you that Lin Fan has offended quite a few people. You can spread the news that Lin Fan is going to set up a factory in the industrial park. When that happens, in addition to us, many other people will naturally take the initiative to deal with him!"

This is an instruction from the CEO of Yunchou to Manager Zhao.

Although Manager Zhao didn't know why the boss would say that, he believed that the higher-ups would not make such a statement without reason.

Since this has been brought up, it means that releasing this information is indeed effective.

Although Manager Zhao was also unaware of who else Lin Fan had offended besides them.

So, following the boss's instructions, Manager Zhao found a way to get the information out.

Liu Qi was originally in his office processing documents.

Suddenly, he heard his subordinate knock on the door and come in, then report that there was something important to discuss.

Liu Qi took off his black-rimmed glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said calmly, "What do you need to report?"

"Mr. Liu, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on that guy named Lin Fan last time?"

"Someone just spread the word that Lin Fan seems to have come to the provincial capital and is going to set up a factory in the industrial park."

Upon hearing this news, Liu Qi's expression changed instantly, even though he had been relatively calm.

He looked up at his manager, frowned slightly, and said, "When did you receive this information? Is it true?"

“I have already investigated Mr. Liu. The news is true. He did come to the provincial capital, and he just visited the industrial park during the day and met with Secretary Luo there.”

"Perhaps the two of them have already reached a cooperation agreement. I haven't inquired about the more specific details yet, and I await your instructions, Mr. Liu."

Liu Qi crossed his legs, tapped the table lightly, and showed a hint of interest on his face.

"interesting."

"It seems he didn't listen to what I said last time."

At the last diplomatic and trade conference, Liu Qi specifically reminded Lin Fan not to develop in Nancheng in the future, as there were some places he should not be involved in.

However, it was clear that Lin Fan did not take his words seriously.

Only a few months have passed, and Lin Fan has already shifted his focus, moving from that small county town to Nancheng.

Of course, this was actually within Liu Qi's expectations.

After all, she has achieved so much at such a young age, how could she possibly let others sway her thoughts so easily?

Therefore, he was not surprised at all that Lin Fan could do such a thing; it was only natural.

"Here's what we'll do: you go and investigate now to see if Lin Fan has made a deal with Secretary Luo and if he has rented the factory."

"Understood, I'll go investigate right away."

After the manager left, Liu Qi leaned back on the sofa, a thoughtful expression on his face.

It seems that my previous warnings to Lin Fan and some of my behind-the-scenes maneuvers did not escape the notice of some people.

The news came so suddenly that it was clearly deliberately played for me.

Although he didn't know who they were, those people must have been people Lin Fan had offended in the past. After thinking about it carefully, he could probably guess the reason.

In other words, he's being used as a pawn now, but he doesn't care; he can easily cooperate with the other party.
