"You need my help?"
Su Yurou was a little surprised. "What can I help you with?"
"It's like this..."
Lin Fan narrated the difficulties the cooperative was facing.
"You want me to play the bad cop, be the villain?"
Su Yurou found it ridiculous, half-laughing, half-crying.
She had poured all her effort into promoting the wound healing ointment.
While Lin Fan and Tian Mengyao seemed to have paid no mind to it, even asking her to stop her work to perform in a play due to the villagers' unrest.
This left her feeling a bit stifled.
She glanced at the two of them, then nodded helplessly, "Alright, I can't refuse anyway."
"It's good that you agreed."
Lin Fan smiled. "Don't forget, I'm your investment supervisor, and you are the kind and benevolent Boss Su."
"Mm, I understand. Shall we go over today then?"
Su Yurou always acted decisively. As she happened to have time today, she decided to get things done.
"We can."
"Then please wait a moment, I'll get ready."
Su Yurou went to change her clothes.
The young girl at the front desk also changed into a hip-hugging work dress and picked up a briefcase, playing the role of Su Yurou's assistant.
"Secretary Tian."
Su Yurou proposed, "Xiao Fan is my investment supervisor. Shouldn't he ride in the same car as me? Otherwise, if the villagers see us not together, won't the act be exposed?"
"Ah?"
Tian Mengyao was taken aback for a moment, then realized it was indeed the case.
But...
"Are you asking me to go back by myself?"
Tian Mengyao reluctantly looked at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan scratched his head. "What else can we do? We'll go one after the other. You go into the village first, and we'll follow shortly after. That way, we avoid any slips."
"Fine, I'll go by myself then!"
Tian Mengyao stomped off in a huff.
"Let's go too."
Su Yurou pressed the car key and opened the door of the sports car.
Lin Fan got into the passenger seat, while the young girl had to sit in the back.
However, she was petite, so it wasn't too cramped.
"Where were you the past few days?"
Su Yurou asked.
"You might not believe it, but my experiences have been quite exciting."
Lin Fan spoke animatedly, narrating the story of the fight.
"You're saying you became a disciple of the chairman of the Northern Feng Shui Association?"
Su Yurou's expression was astonished, and she almost hit a white car due to her distraction.
"Be careful."
Lin Fan jumped in fright.
"Isn't that normal? The only one in the North who could fight Li Yusheng was me. My master took me under his wing so that I could uphold the Feng Shui sect in the future and not bring shame to us Northerners," Lin Fan said proudly.
"Sometimes, I truly envy people like you," Su Yurou sighed. "Why are the things you easily obtain so out of my reach?"
"Huh? What?"
Lin Fan looked bewildered.
Su Yurou gave him a sidelong glance, then looked at the girl in the back seat and asked, "Xiaochun, you tell me, if you had a master who was the boss of the entire Northern Feng Shui world, what benefits would that bring?"
"Boss..."
"Speak freely. I plan to train you to be a store manager later. If you can't answer this well, you'll just stay at the front desk."
"Yes, Boss."
Xiaochun pondered for a moment and replied cautiously, "Boss, if my master were a Feng Shui master, that would be amazing!"
She broke into an excited smile. "You once said that connections are money and power, and they can pave a smooth road ahead for you. Undoubtedly, someone who can find a chairman who practices Feng Shui must be either rich or noble. I can't even imagine what kind of rich network resources that would be, practically a glittering gold mine!"
"Uh?"
Lin Fan heard her voice tremble slightly and muttered, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
"What do you think?"
Su Yurou rolled her eyes dramatically.
Lin Fan shrugged. "We shouldn't be so pragmatic in life. Master treats me very well."
"..."
Su Yurou was speechless.
After a minute of silence, she said, "If I had your abilities, I could also afford not to be so pragmatic."
Her smile was complicated as she continued, "Sister Zhou treats you like a treasure, Secretary Tian, who has a great background, hangs on your every word, and even when you go out, a Feng Shui master is begging to take you as a disciple."
"Sigh~" she sighed deeply. "That's how the world is; the strong always get stronger. They have their own circles and mutually appreciate each other."
"I, I'm not that outstanding."
Lin Fan spread his hands. "It's just a matter of coincidence."
"Coincidence?"
Su Yurou chuckled. "I've known Zhou Yike much longer than you. You know how she treats me."
At this moment, the sports car had passed the junction and was heading towards Luofeng Village.
"Alright, why are you being so humble?"
Su Yurou looked at Lin Fan with deep affection. "Xiao Fan, I hope you become more and more outstanding and soar to success soon!"
She said earnestly, "My entire life is resting on you!"
Lin Fan now had connections and influence.
Even a large amount of funding wouldn't be difficult for him anymore.
Su Yurou couldn't fathom any reason why he wouldn't achieve great success.
"Cough, cough."
Lin Fan coughed twice and gestured with his eyes to remind her, "There's an outsider here, don't speak so directly."
"Xiaochun, I'll teach you something else."
"Mm."
Xiaochun pricked up her ears and listened intently.
"You must learn to obey the strong and rely on the strong. There's no shame in that, understand?"
After Su Yurou finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Fan, her meaning unmistakably clear.
He was the strong one!
"Mm, I understand."
Xiaochun nodded vigorously, her eyes fixed on the back of Lin Fan's head.
Her greatest dream was to own her own beauty salon.
However, her family background was poor, making this dream difficult to achieve.
But with Lin Fan's help...
It should be quite simple?
Xiaochun's mind wandered as she pondered how to please Lin Fan.
"We're here."
The sports car had a low chassis, and the country dirt roads were not easy to navigate, so they couldn't get there as fast as Tian Mengyao in her SUV.
By the time they arrived, Tian Mengyao had already finished her meal.
Under Lin Fan's guidance, the sports car stopped in a flat area.
"From now on, it all depends on you."
Lin Fan got out of the car, feeling a little nervous.
After all, he was deceiving his fellow villagers, people he saw every day.
He was afraid that if his act was seen through, he wouldn't be able to show his face in the village again.
"You should also be careful."
Su Yurou put on a stern face, feigning the demeanor of a billionaire, and instructed, "Xiao Fan, take me to visit some villagers ahead. Xiaochun, you take notes during the interviews."
"Yes, Boss!"
Xiaochun said respectfully, her demeanor natural without needing to pretend.
"Understood, Boss."
Lin Fan felt a little unaccustomed to it and took a moment to adjust before stepping forward.
