I just wanted a sweet romance, I never imagined becoming a super-rich person!

Chapter 130: In principle, it's not allowed, but I'm on the side of principle.

Lu Ran wasn't interested and continued walking forward.

Chang Zilong was very impressed that Ran Ge's expression didn't change at all when he heard about the village beauty.

"Ran-ge, you know Wang Xiaoxia, the village chief's daughter, who's a year older than me and a year younger than you? She was dark-skinned when she was little, but she's so beautiful now."

Lu Ran shook his head: "I don't remember, and I'm not interested."

"I see you're quite interested, why don't you pursue her yourself?"

Chang Zilong scratched his head: "Well, actually, this is the first time I've seen Xiaoxia after she's grown up. Xiaoxia is very beautiful, and I like her too."

"But they don't like me. They came to me today, and I thought my spring had finally arrived. I didn't expect them to ask me to be the middleman."

Lu Ran didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

He changed the subject, saying, "Once the company is registered, the village will be very busy."

"This mountain is so big, it will take a long time to manage. I heard from Uncle Chang that you only make three thousand yuan a month outside, what do you do?"

Chang Zilong was a little embarrassed: "I'm just an ordinary programmer, there's not much technical skill involved, it's all hard work."

"Then why don't you go back to the village and work there? Once the company is established, I'll arrange a position for you. I'm not exaggerating when I say it'll be better than working outside."

Chang Zilong was overjoyed.

"Ran-ge, can I really work at your company?"

Lu Ran chuckled, "Your dad's a prospective vice president at the company, is it really necessary to be so excited about starting work here?"

Chang Zilong shook his head.

"Ran-ge, my dad said that if I really want to get into the company, I have to rely on my own abilities and go through the normal procedures, and the requirements will be even stricter than for outsiders."

Lu Ran wasn't too surprised after hearing this.

But he still said, "Go back and tell Uncle Chang that there's no need for that. As long as it's not an abuse of power to do something that harms the company's interests, it's okay to go through the back door and get some minor privileges."

"No, Ran-ge, my dad said that even if you can say that, we can't think that way."

"Moreover, not only my family, but everyone in the village is not allowed to exercise special privileges. Everything must be based on the company's interests. This rule must be in place. My dad said, if you agree, let him play the villain and act as the bad cop."

Lu Ran was very surprised.

He knew Chang You was a seasoned veteran who knew how to handle things.

But I didn't expect him to be so good at handling things, he's just as good as Bai Yongxiang.

Putting aside everything else, regardless of how much truth or self-interest is involved in these words.

Anyway, Lu Ran was very happy to hear that.

"Okay, go back and tell Uncle Chang that he will be in charge of the company's rules from now on. My dad will probably be focused on technical research and won't have time to think about these things."

"Okay, Ran-ge."

"As for you joining the company, go back and tell Uncle Chang. When the company is established, you can start working directly to avoid any objections from the villagers. At most, I can only give you a position like a group leader. Whether you can be promoted in the future depends on your personal abilities."

Chang Zilong's face lit up with joy, but he quickly looked saddened and said, "Brother Ran, but my dad said we can't do that. The company must establish proper rules."

Lu Ran waved his hand: "Uncle Chang's idea is right. We need to establish rules, and in principle, we really can't give you special treatment."

"But this principle was established under my guidance. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Otherwise, how could I have the nerve to be your older brother?"

Chang Zilong was dumbfounded.

Goodness, I've seen people pretend, but I've never seen anyone pretend like this.

It's not allowed in principle, but I'm above the rules.

Although Ran Ge's words sounded pretentious, Chang Zilong found them very satisfying.

His dad wouldn't give him the green light, but Ran gave him the green light.

He excitedly clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you very much, elder brother."

Chang Zilong used to be arrogant and disrespectful to everyone. It was absolutely impossible for him to acknowledge anyone as his elder brother. Even if his father gave the order, he would at most just give a perfunctory response.

But now, Chang Zilong deeply regrets not recognizing this elder brother sooner.

If I had known Ran-ge was this amazing, I should have acknowledged him when we were kids.

If he had done that, he probably would have made it big by now, instead of having to work like a beast of burden for three thousand yuan a month!

"Are you two filming a movie?"

A pretty girl wearing a white down jacket walked up to the two of them with her hands behind her back.

His gaze swept over the two of them before settling on Lu Ran.

"Xiaoxia, what brings you here?"

The person who came was Wang Xiaoxia, the village chief's daughter, who had previously asked Chang Zilong to act as an intermediary.

Wang Xiaoxia tossed her loose, long hair and said playfully, "What? This field isn't yours. You can come, but I can't?"

"Haha, that's not what I meant."

Wang Xiaoxia stepped forward with a smile, reached out her hand to Lu Ran, and said, "Lu Ran, it's been so many years."

Lu Ran gestured to the hand that was bandaged in front of his chest.

Wang Xiaoxia awkwardly withdrew her hand: "I'm sorry."

"Lu Ran, I've been jealous of you since we were kids."

Lu Ran was taken aback: "Uh, we don't seem to have any grudges against each other!"

Wang Xiaoxia nodded: "No."

"What I mean is, you were prettier than the girls when you were little, while I was dark-skinned and plain-looking back then. Do you know how much of a blow that was to a young girl who cared about her appearance?"

Lu Ran shrugged: "I understand, but I'm sorry, I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Pfft, haha." Wang Xiaoxia covered her mouth and laughed, amused by Lu Ran's words.

"You're really interesting."

Lu Ran thought to himself, "Oh no, I should have kept quiet."

But that doesn't seem right either, since we're all from the same village, and being too indifferent won't work.

Lu Ran secretly decided that he would resolutely be a straight man from now on and never let the other person find him interesting.

"How many days are you planning to stay home this time you're back?"

"Stay for two days."

"So when are you planning to leave?"

"In a couple of days."

「···」

Wang Xiaoxia said speechlessly, "Why are you suddenly talking like a robot?"

"Uh, it's okay."

"Hehe, you're really funny."

Lu Ran's face darkened.

I'm so funny, can't you tell I don't even want to talk to you?

"Zilong, you guys chat, I'm going home first."

"Perfect timing! I haven't visited Uncle Lu and Aunt Wen in ages. Let me go with you!"

"this···"

Lu Ran gave Chang Zilong a wink, signaling him to get the person away quickly.

But Chang Zilong couldn't read minds, so he couldn't understand Lu Ran's meaning. He thought that Brother Ran was telling him not to be a third wheel.

So he smiled and said, "Then you guys go ahead, I have something to do at home, so I'll head back first."

"Okay, you can go back now."

Chang Zilong felt bitter. He said he wanted to go home, but why didn't Xiaoxia try to stop him? He felt so sad and wanted to cry.

Although Lu Ran was unwilling, he couldn't very well refuse to let the other person go. They were neighbors, and refusing to let them visit was tantamount to openly turning against them.

Not to mention it's the village chief's house.

So Lu Ran had no choice but to take Wang Xiaoxia back home.

"Xiaoxia? Oh my, my child, it's been so long!"

When Wen Youli saw Wang Xiaoxia, she put down what she was doing and invited her inside to sit down.

"Auntie, it's been years since I last visited you, please don't be angry with me."

"Not at all."

Wang Xiaoxia used to visit Lu Ran's house often, but Lu Ran wasn't home and didn't know that.

At the time, Wen Youli was also thinking of bringing Wang Xiaoxia and her son together.

But later, Wang Xiaoxia got a boyfriend and even got engaged, so Wen Youli gave up the idea.
