Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 25 Parents
When Lin Lang returned with a bunch of groceries, he saw Yan Li chatting happily with the older women in the neighborhood.

How can you even have a conversation about this?
A group of middle-aged women chatting often like to dredge up old grievances, criticize a few people they don't like, and then find an opportunity to show off.

Upon seeing Lin Lang return, Yan Li quickly said goodbye to the group of middle-aged women, came to Lin Lang's side, and offered to help him carry his things.

"I'll come, I'll come..."

"Why did you buy so much stuff? Aren't you tired?"

"Give this to me..."

While taking things from Lin Lang, she pushed him towards the stairwell.

To outsiders, it appears to be an extremely intimate relationship.

Especially in the eyes of those older women in the courtyard, it was a completely different feeling.

"Judging from this situation, it seems like Yan Li is pursuing Lin Lang, and Lin Lang seems a bit reluctant..."

"Yan Li is definitely not lying. The eldest brother of Shen Chuanhe, the principal of No. 1 Middle School, is in the real estate business and married the daughter of that old man Chen from Hulu Street."

"Which old man Chen?"

"It's that antique shop owner... an intellectual family. Old Chen's two daughters are both well-married; one married Shen Chuanhe, and the other, I heard, married someone from another place..."

"Judging from Yan Li's demeanor, it's undeniable that she's from a big city."

"What did Xiuyun say about Lin Lang meeting with that teacher a few days ago?"

"Oh dear, you guys reminded me! Quickly call Xiuyun and tell her that her son brought his wife home..."

……

"Lin Lang, I was just chatting with my aunts, and I heard you went on a blind date?"

As soon as they entered the house, Yan Li couldn't wait to ask a question.

Lin Lang said, "Isn't this normal? I've already chosen to go back to my hometown, so I definitely need to get married as soon as possible."

"And then what? They didn't like you?"

"Yan Li, please use more precise words. It means that they didn't like each other."

"But I heard from your family that there's still a chance..."

Yan Li was just talking nonsense; she simply wanted to gossip about what was going on.

Meeting Lin Lang this time was a great surprise for her; at least in her opinion, this guy's inner strength was astonishing.

Moreover, their thinking is also very impressive.

"How can I explain this? If I say I'm not interested in her, she'll hate me! My reputation in the county will be ruined in no time! As for why she didn't say anything, that's none of my business. I can't control what other people think."

Yan Li laughed, "Then you should thank me. I've helped you resolve this matter today."

"What's wrong? What needs to be resolved?"

"So you don't have to be in a dilemma, so you don't have to be unable to tell your family and also don't want to be constantly bothered by people asking questions."

Lin Lang: "?????? What did you say?"

“I didn’t say much. I just mentioned that you could have found a job in Shanghai with a million-dollar annual salary, but you cared about your hometown and your fellow villagers, so you chose to return to your hometown to start a business and wanted to lead your fellow villagers to prosperity…”

"Oh, that's alright..."

"what."

Yan Li was somewhat surprised that Lin Lang accepted these things so easily.
Although these words are somewhat grandiose and empty, they can still put some pressure on people.

Yan Li had a few more things to say.

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Wait a minute, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with whether I'm going on a blind date or not, does it?" Lin Lang realized the problem with that statement.

He only mentioned some of his decisions; what does that have to do with blind dates?

"Um... I wasn't clear just now. I meant my dad thinks highly of you and wanted to offer you a job with a million-dollar annual salary, but you refused..."

"Is this how you shorten sentences? You've omitted the important parts of the question..."

Yan Li's lips curled up slightly, her eyes fixed on Lin Lang, as if her gaze was filled with some kind of meaning.

Lin Lang didn't feel anything at all, because Yan Li had peach blossom eyes, and even when looking at a dog, peach blossom eyes looked incredibly affectionate.

"Anyway, if your business fails, remember to contact me. I can help you find a job in Shanghai or Hangzhou. Wouldn't that complete the cycle? I've helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"

"I'll give you the fish head later!"

"Emm... Help me write a few financial articles. I suddenly want to continue running my social media account."

"That's easy to handle..."

These were all minor matters, and Lin Lang couldn't find a reason to refuse.

In his opinion, Yan Li would be more effective at creating his own media content than others.

Even though she could quickly become a fund manager with her powerful background, managing hundreds of millions or billions of assets, it's still incredibly difficult to make a name for herself in the financial world.

In the coming years, the global financial system will be extremely volatile, and if you accidentally step on a landmine, you will most likely be abandoned.

Having connections isn't enough. In the financial world, which mid-level manager doesn't have connections?

With Yan Li's qualifications, she could easily become a top financial commentator by simply reading some articles and seizing the current opportunity, amassing over ten million followers in just three or four years. Ten million followers is a very valuable asset, especially in the financial field.

There are several guys who use demo accounts to trade stocks all day long, and they post their profit and loss data every day. In just a few months, they have accumulated hundreds of thousands of followers and directed tens of thousands of them to their public accounts. Then, they sell those public accounts to a scammer for 500,000 yuan.

Then you can continue to drive traffic to other WeChat official accounts...

Of course, this kind of thing is quite dangerous, and it's not worth doing.

But as long as you can share some valuable insights and gradually build a certain level of community, with millions of followers, nothing will be too difficult.

Just then, Lin Lang's phone rang.

He glanced at it and immediately answered the call.

"Mom, are you off work?"

"what?"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Lin Lang hung up the phone, glanced at Yan Li, and said, "I have some bad news for you. The whole neighborhood knows that a female classmate of mine came all the way from Shanghai to see me."

"How about it? Will things be much easier for you from now on?"

"Yes, I have to thank you! How about this, I'll write ten articles for you, and then we'll be even."

"hold head high……"

"Then you wait at home for a while, I'm going out for a bit..."

Ms. Xu has already used her ultimate summoning spell. He is a contracted person and must meet her at the designated location.

Two minutes later, Lin Lang met Ms. Xu at the corner of the alley at the entrance of the residential area.

When Xu Xiuyun saw Lin Lang arrive, she grabbed his arm and pulled him aside, asking, "What's going on? Did a girl come to your house? What's your relationship with her? And... what about the female teacher your sister introduced you to?"

These questions are extremely important.

Before the question could be finished, a dusty-looking person suddenly appeared from the side, wearing a tattered T-shirt and covered in grime.

"That's right, you can't do anything reckless!"

Lin Lang saw his father also come over and marveled at the efficiency of the intelligence team in the community.

It's only been a few minutes.

Including my own descent, it only took about ten minutes in total. It's fine now that my mom is back; the supermarket she lives in is only one kilometer away.

But my dad's tile factory is six or seven kilometers away from home.

Lin Lang honestly said, "It's my college classmate who came. I don't know why she came. But she has a high-speed rail ticket for around 9 o'clock, so she'll be leaving soon. She's just having a meal at my house. I've already bought the groceries."

Xu Xiuyun immediately asked, "What kind of classmate is this, just coming over for a meal? Is it someone you met in college?"

Lin Lang: "..."

Before he could answer, Lin Yuliang shouted, "Son, this is outrageous! You have a girlfriend, why didn't you say so? And then you went to meet that female teacher, aren't you two-timing? If word gets out, people will gossip about you!"

As a result, Xu Xiuyun pushed Lin Yuliang away, saying, "Go away, my son isn't married yet, he can do whatever he wants. If you're so capable, then go live your life with your backbone! I've disliked the one Lili introduced for a long time. She hasn't contacted my son for so many days, and she's already so arrogant after just meeting him. Do you think she'll have a good life after marrying him? Hello, college classmate, I heard that your college classmate's third aunt's husband is the principal of No. 1 Middle School?"

Xu Xiuyun leaned against Lin Lang and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know. All I know is that she has an uncle who owns Xinglan Real Estate, and that supermarket in the county also belongs to his family..."

Xu Xiuyun: "..."

She works at Xinglan Tiandi.

Xu Xiuyun was a little excited. She grabbed Lin Lang's hand and said, "Son, it's her. Mom has told your fortune. You'll have a very good marriage this year. You're destined to be with your classmate. Go upstairs first and go to my room to get a set of clothes and shoes from my closet. What I'm wearing isn't convenient. Change your clothes before you go upstairs."

Xu Xiuyun is still wearing the supermarket employee uniform.

"Mom, it doesn't have to be like this..."

"Why wouldn't it be that bad?"

Lin Yuliang, who was standing nearby, also said, "Get me one too..."

Xu Xiuyun glanced at Lin Yuliang and said irritably, "You don't have any decent clothes, go and buy a new set. Oh, and go get a room for a short time to take a shower and clean yourself up. I'm going back to cook."

Lin Yuliang looked troubled.

Xu Xiuyun asked, "Why aren't you going yet?"

"I have no money."

"How can a grown man like you be so spineless?"

"You're quite something, aren't you? You get all excited when you hear someone's family is rich! They're still far from being rich..."

“How could it not even be a done deal? She has relatives in the county, why would she come to our house for dinner? Isn’t it because she’s interested in our son! Our son is still young, and he’s not quite there yet in this area, so as his mother, I definitely have to help out…”

As Xu Xiuyun spoke, she took out her phone from her pocket and began transferring money to Lin Yuliang.

"I'll transfer you two thousand yuan so you can buy yourself a nice outfit. I won't buy you anything for the New Year."

"..."
