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

Chapter 138 That umbrella costs ten thousand yuan!

Lu Changshu was already quite surprised that his son was preparing to start a company.

But he never expected his son to be so ruthless, actually wanting to build a company building directly in the village.

They also said they would fully support him in fulfilling his dream from back then: to conduct agricultural technology research.

Lu Changshu was initially reluctant to let his son spend such a huge sum of money, but his son's attitude of "I have money, don't worry about it" made him, as a father, feel helpless but also a little proud.

After some thought, Lu Changshu decided to take his son's advice.

Rediscover the dreams of your youth.

So these past few days, he's been out looking for technical talent.

After searching around, I found that there were only so many high-achieving students, and they all had their own positions.

If it were someone else, they might think of simply using money to pry them away, but Lu Changshu wouldn't do that.

He didn't take that path, but he still learned some truths that others didn't.

That's why I said that to the village chief.

The safest approach is to obtain approval from above.

After listening, the village chief thought for a moment and replied, "Give me the list later, and I'll ask around for you."

Then he nodded in satisfaction: "I knew it. You should be the one to be the village chief. With your level of awareness, you've been wasted all these years."

"Village chief, you flatter me. I'm just someone who likes to delve into complex details and do research, but I'm not good at this kind of thing!"

"Haha, okay, I'll be going now."

"Okay, take care."

"Xiao Ran, come visit me sometime."

"Yes, village chief."

In the past few days, Lu Ran has learned a lot from his father.

He originally thought that as long as he boosted the economic development of the county and villages, the higher authorities would naturally take care of them.

Now he realizes that some things are useless just by doing them; you also have to see how you say them.

Just the fact that his father applied to higher authorities to hire talent is enough for him to learn for half his life.

If he recklessly throws money at people, he'll probably offend a lot of people.

"Dad, I'll have Zilong help oversee the construction of the company building and the villa at home. I still have some things to take care of in Chengjiang, so I have to leave today."

Lu Changshu nodded: "Okay, go ahead without worry, I'll take care of things at home."

"Xiao Ran, what you're doing is on the right track, but you must think carefully when making decisions. If you're unsure, call home and ask."

"I will, Dad."

Lu Ran originally thought that having money would allow him to surpass his father, but now it seems that his father is still his father, and he, the son, still has a lot to learn.

"Yes, by the way, hurry up and settle the marriage. Your mother keeps telling me how wonderful Xiao Ning is. We should bring such a good daughter-in-law into the family as soon as possible."

"Okay, Dad."

"Since you're going back to Chengjiang, take the Range Rover with you!"

Lu Ran shook his head: "No need, a car is coming to pick me up."

The Range Rover was originally brought back as a gift for my dad, so why would he drive it back?

"Son, if you're not too busy, come home and visit more often."

Wen Youli was very reluctant to part with him.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't have to work as hard as before anymore, and I'll be coming home more often."

"I was originally planning to take you to Chengjiang to stay for a few days, but you couldn't bear to leave your dad, so Cheng Ning and I had to go back together."

Wen Youli glared at her son: "Get out of here, you brat, you even dare to joke about your mother."

Lu Ran understood perfectly.

My dad is now the chairman of a company, drives luxury cars, and is a handsome middle-aged man. With that kind of setup, he's definitely a heartthrob for young girls.

His mother would love to stay by his side every day; how could she feel comfortable letting him go to the city alone?

Seemingly sensing that her son had seen through her thoughts, Wen Youli, who was reluctant to let her son leave, quickly pushed him out of the house.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh your ass! Get lost!"

"No, Mom, my car hasn't arrived yet, and it's cold outside!" Lu Ran looked sad as she looked at the closed door.

However, he called out several times but received no response.

I had no choice but to turn around and wait for the bus by the roadside.

"Isn't this Xiaoran? What are you doing squatting outside in this cold weather and rain?"

"Come on, come to my house and warm up by the fire."

When three or five villagers passed by and saw Lu Ran, they all came up to greet him warmly.

They had just returned from helping out at the company building, and meeting Lu Ran was like meeting the big boss. It was no longer the simple polite greetings of before, but rather a respectful and flattering tone.

The person who said this was none other than Widow Zhou, a well-known figure in the village. There wasn't a single person in the entire village who could receive such flattery from her; even the village chief didn't receive this treatment.

Lu Ran smiled and shook her head: "No need, Aunt Zhou, I'm waiting for the car."

"Waiting for a car? You're leaving already!"

"Yes, we're going back to Chengjiang today."

"Oh my, why are you taking a taxi, you big boss? You must be keeping the Range Rover for your dad to drive, how filial. Here, you can drive my car, just drive it back to me when you come back."

Zhou Yanhua generously took out the car keys, seemingly genuinely intending to let Lu Ran drive the car.

Lu Ran was quite surprised by the other party's attitude.

Although everyone in the village is now trying to curry favor with him, this kind of attitude is something they've never seen before.

There may be others in the future, but Zhou Yanhua is the first.

Lu Ran sighed inwardly, realizing that he hadn't noticed before that their village was full of hidden talents.

Lu Ran thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou, but it's alright, a car is coming to pick me up."

"Lu Ran, I'm not trying to be mean, but such a big boss only has one car. If I were you, I would definitely buy several Range Rovers and hire a driver. I wouldn't even take ride-hailing services anymore. You're being too picky."

Of course, it's also possible that this dragon is the same dragon as the Crouching Dragon, the kind Wang Duoyu described.

Lu Wentao slapped his son.

"Shut up."

Then he smiled at Lu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, I've spoiled this kid. He's not very bright, so don't take it to heart."

Lu Jiacheng said aggrievedly, "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to get along well with Lu Ran? That's how I talk to all my buddies, so why are you lecturing me to my face!"

Lu Wentao was almost furious.

He thought to himself, "Even if you can't speak, can't you at least observe and learn from others? Look at how Zilong treats Lu Ran."

You have no connection with them at all, yet you act like you're old friends right away. You're incredibly stupid.

Lu Ran shook his head: "It's nothing."

Lu Wentao was just about to offer his car to Lu Ran.

But before he could even open his mouth, he saw a car with a winged logo slowly approaching.

Everyone present, except for Lu Ran, looked on in disbelief.

Lu Jiacheng exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap, a phantom?"

He had seen this car before; it seemed to cost several million or even tens of millions of yuan. It was incredibly extravagant.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and a girl with short hair got out.

Hu Wen walked to Lu Ran's side, opened the back door of the car, and made an elegant invitation gesture.

"Mr. Lu, please get in the car."

Lu Ran laughed and said, "What are you doing?"

Hu Wen blinked and said, "Aren't these basic requirements for a competent driver? Otherwise, how can they justify this salary?"

"Alright, but it's raining. Why didn't you use an umbrella when you got out of the car? Don't blame me for exploiting my employees if you catch a cold!"

"It just started raining, and I didn't bring an umbrella."

"Isn't it inside the car door?"

Hu Wen said speechlessly, "President Lu, those are umbrellas that cost 100,000 yuan each."

Lu Ran replied, "Umbrellas are for blocking rain; otherwise, what's the point?"
