After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

"tonight?!"

Liu Wan exclaimed in surprise, looking at Wen Ling with disbelief.

In her memory, Premier Wen rarely changed his itinerary at the last minute.

The only time was when Premier Wen's sister came back from vacation abroad and went to pick her up at the airport.

But now...

Is Ms. Wen in a hurry to go back and see her husband?

That's true, they're newlyweds, and she's already on a business trip the very next day. Once this is done, Premier Wen will definitely be anxious...

Swallowing hard, Liu Wan didn't dare say anything more. She nodded repeatedly and went to adjust the itinerary.

After Liu Wan left, Wen Ling looked down at her phone.

Jiang Ran went out after lunch.

At this moment, the villa's living room is empty except for the piles of exercise equipment.

After two days of secret observation, Wen Ling did not find any flaws in Jiang Ran.

Even when he was alone in private, his activity area was limited to the first floor, and he never crossed any boundaries.

At this moment, looking at the empty living room, Wen Ling suddenly felt a tightness in her chest.

She didn't know where Jiang Ran had gone.

However, she didn't like the feeling of things getting out of control...

Wen Ling's cold eyes darkened, and she shook her head to herself. Then, she looked at the profile picture frame from Jiang Ran on WeChat.

It's been a night since we returned home earlier than planned, so let's not tell Jiang Ran the news yet...

An hour later, Jiang Ran arrived at the address sent by Huang Xiao.

A howling wind swept through the village surrounded by fields. Looking at the brick houses outside the car window, Jiang Ran opened the car door and got out.

"Did I guess wrong? It's not a market?!"

Just as he was wondering if he had come to the wrong place, he saw Huang Xiao smilingly walk out of the brick house and wave to him.

"Brother Jiang Ran, over here!"

Confused, Jiang Ran walked towards her.

Before long, Huang Xiao came out of the house carrying a pile of rattan hemp and placed it in the small courtyard outside the brick house.

"Brother, I've already contacted someone. They said we'll make hand-woven baskets, and they'll pay us 100 yuan per basket!"

Jiang Ran's eyes widened instantly: "100 yuan?!"

"That's right! Perfect timing, my mom knows how to do this kind of crafts. Starting today, let's knit baskets together!"

Huang Xiao introduced it with an excited expression.

No, this isn't what I expected!

Looking at the aunt beside Huang Xiao, who was giving him a kind smile, Jiang Ran suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

He couldn't fathom why Huang Xiao had lied to him.

He even thought that a basketball hoop costing 100 yuan was actually not expensive at all, especially if sold in Beijing...

"So you mean we'll specialize in weaving baskets from now on, build up our reputation, and then mass-produce them, opening a factory and hiring workers, right?"

Jiang Ran naturally conjured up a production line in his mind.

Hearing this, Huang Xiao was slightly taken aback. "Uh... I haven't thought that far ahead yet..."

She muttered something, then jumped up, grabbed Jiang Ran's shoulder, and shoved him onto the stool!

"Hey, Jiang Ran, just start doing it first. We can talk about the rest later. At least let's make our money back first, right?"

"Besides, having multiple skills means having more options. My mom's skills are exceptional; she practically raised me by weaving basketball hoops!"

As she spoke, she winked mischievously at Jiang Ran.

To be honest, this new brain is definitely better than his.

After several exchanges, Jiang Ran couldn't find any fault with it.

Seeing that Huang Xiao's mother had already started to work beside him, he pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, since I'm already here, I might as well learn from her."

After saying that, he picked up a few rattan sticks and began to make things like Huang Xiao's mother...

As a habit formed over the years, Jiang Ran is very serious when learning new things and is almost undisturbed by external forces.

So much so that he didn't even notice Huang Xiao secretly taking pictures of him with her phone from a short distance away.

Under Huang Xiao's mother's guidance, Jiang Ran successfully made three basketball hoops in just one afternoon.

Aside from not being very skilled at the beginning, Jiang Ran believed that he was quite fast later on, but handcrafting was difficult, and he still didn't do enough.

"Brother, aside from the money for making basketball hoops, we'll split all the other income 30/70, you get 70% and I get 30%!"

Holding her phone, Huang Xiao smiled mysteriously, but didn't seem anxious.

Seeing that the girl's eyes were glued to the phone screen, Jiang Ran's lips twitched, and he didn't have time to analyze the "other" income she mentioned.

He was just thinking that if Huang Xiao wasn't lying to him, he had only earned three hundred yuan after working all afternoon.

If he were to actually make this his future job, forget about a villa; even just the G-Class parked outside would require him to work for 18 years straight without eating or drinking...

The nonsense only lasted for an afternoon today.

Jiang Ran sighed, "Then I'll head back now."

"Okay, goodbye Jiang Ran!"

Seeing Huang Xiaochao waving his hand, Jiang Ran didn't mention when he would come back next time.

He glanced at the sky and decided to find a place to sell snacks honestly before Wen Ling returned tomorrow...

Jiang Ran got back into his G-Wagon and drove towards Junlan Mansion.

However, little did Jiang Ran know that no sooner had he left than Huang Xiao posted a video on his Douyin account.

The video shows him dressed casually, sitting on a wooden stool by the door, doing handicrafts with Huang Xiao's mother.

As the camera panned, half of his youthful and handsome profile was captured, set against the backdrop of the setting sun over the fields, with stray hairs falling across his forehead reflecting a golden glow.

Besides his captivating presence in the video, there's also the poignant caption: "To allow me to go to university, my brother gave up his studies and inherited our mother's craft, weaving baskets by hand at home..."

Within minutes of the video being posted, the comment section exploded!

Sweet Strawberry: "Finally, I've found a video that suits us honest women!"

"I don't eat cilantro: 'I have a suggestion for your brother; he should wear a white shirt next time he does crafts!'"

Meatball Doesn't Eat Meat: "At the age when I felt most helpless, I saw the boy I most wanted to help... Go... Go to the link!"

......

Jiang Ran had just returned to the villa and parked his car in the garage when he saw a message from Huang Xiao.

Huang Xiao: [Brother, is it okay if we come at the same time tomorrow afternoon?]

Huang Xiao: [Transfer 300 yuan.]

Jiang Ran was a little confused when she saw the message from Huang Xiao.

The items sold out so quickly?!

But seeing the pleading kitten emoji the other party sent, Jiang Ran sighed. Even if he wanted to set up a stall, it would take him several days to prepare in advance. He could make a few hundred yuan during this time, since he had nothing else to do anyway.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ran replied: [Okay, but I might be a little late tomorrow afternoon.]

Huang Xiao: [No problem! But Jiang Ran, can you wear a white shirt tomorrow?!]

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then typed: [Depends on my mood.]

While replying to the message, Jiang Ran pushed open the villa door. However, the moment the door opened, he was stunned when he saw the bright lights inside and the aloof woman sitting on the sofa in the living room!

Wen Ling, why are you back early?!
