“Okay, it’s fine. Eating at home is fine. No matter how clean the food outside is, it’s not as hygienic as home-cooked food,” said Mrs. Shen from the side.

"Yes, that's right," Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, Ninglu and I will head back now," said Mrs. Shen at this moment.

"Why don't you play at home a little longer? There's nothing to do when you get back," Chen's mother immediately said after hearing this.

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing next to her, said, "Yeah, Mom, you're going back so early and you don't have anything to do, why don't you stay here and play a little longer?"

"No need, it's getting late, let's head back first. You stay here, we'll be going now," said Mrs. Shen from the side.

Chapter 420 Action-Oriented 1

Seeing this, Li Lili didn't say anything more.

So he said to Mrs. Shen, "Okay, then take care on your way."

"Sister, we'll head back now," Shen Ninglu said to Li Lili.

"Okay, you guys go back first," Li Lili said again.

"Let Chen Ling see them off," Chen's mother said to Li Lili.

Then Chen's mother turned to Chen Ling and said, "Go on, see them off."

"No need, we can just take a taxi back. It's too much trouble for Chen Ling to go so late and come back later." Before Chen Ling could even speak, Shen's mother immediately said this.

"It's alright, Mom, I'll go see you off," Chen Ling said from the side.

“Really, it’s not necessary. We can go back ourselves. There’s no need to see us off,” Mrs. Shen said again.

"It's alright, Mom, I'll go see you off," Chen Ling continued.

"No need to see us off," Mrs. Shen strongly objected.

"Oh, okay, Mom, then I won't see you off. I'll go downstairs and get you a taxi," Li Lili said.

Then Li Lili said again, "Let's go down first."

“Okay.” Shen’s mother and Shen Ninglu said.

Then they saw Mrs. Shen and the others starting to walk outside. When they reached the door, they heard Mrs. Shen say, "No need to see us off, you can stay here, don't go down."

"It's alright, let's go down and see you off," Mr. Chen said from the side.

So Shen's mother had no choice but to go along with their wishes.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Along the way, Li Lili's mother was telling her about pregnancy care, reminding her to be extra careful during the first three months.

"Mom, be careful on your way back," Li Lili said as soon as Shen's mother and Shen Ninglu got into the car.

"Alright, I understand. You can go back now. Goodbye," Mrs. Shen said loudly from the car.

"Drive carefully on the road," Chen's mother said from the side.

"Goodbye, Uncle, Aunt, Sister, Brother-in-law." Shen Ninglu waved as she spoke.

At this moment, Chen Ling, who was standing to the side, also spoke loudly: "You've arrived home. Tell Ningxue."

"Okay, let's go back now," Mrs. Shen continued.

So, Madam Shen and Shen Ninglu left. After Madam Shen left, Madam Chen and the others also prepared to go home.

After returning home, Li Lili and Chen Ling went to their room first.

So Chen's mother and father went straight back to their room to rest.

However, at this very moment, Chen Xiaoqi and Li Ran finally managed to rush back.

"Why are you taking so long?" Li's mother asked unhappily when she saw Li Ran and the others return.

"There was a traffic jam on the way, so we were a little slow getting back. Is Qingqing asleep?" Li Ran quickly asked upon seeing this.

"I just coaxed her to drink some medicine, and she's asleep now," Li's mother continued.

After Li's mother finished speaking, she said to Li Ran, "Then I'll go back now."

So Li's mother went straight back to her room to rest.

"Is Mom angry with me?" Chen Xiaoqi asked Li Ran at that moment.

"Don't worry, she won't. Even if Mom is angry, she'll be angry at me, it has nothing to do with you," Li Ran said, looking at Chen Xiaoqi.

"I hope so," Chen Xiaoqi said to Chen Ling, pouting.

"Don't overthink it, get some rest," Li Ran said to Chen Xiaoqi.

"Okay." Chen Xiaoqi nodded quickly and said.

Then Chen Xiaoqi took her things and went inside to take a shower...

The next day, Li Ran went to the company very early, while Chen Xiaoqi stayed at home with Qingqing.

At this moment, Chen Xiaoqi was still thinking about what they had discussed yesterday—opening her own studio. Chen Xiaoqi thought it was a good idea, but funding was a problem. She had almost spent all the money she had saved from filming, and Li Ran was involved in charity work, so the company's profit margin was very low, and Li Ran's salary wasn't much either. She didn't want to put Li Ran in a difficult position.

However, Li Ran on the other side was also thinking about what Chen Xiaoqi had done to me. It was clear that Li Ran had left home so early today because of Chen Xiaoqi.

After returning to the company, Li Ran started helping Chen Xiaoqi with the project proposal... Around noon, Li Ran dialed a number and arranged to meet the person on the other end of the phone in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Li Ran went to see one of his old friends, intending to discuss investing in Chen Xiaoqi.

"Mr. Xu, you've always been involved in investments, right? Let me tell you about a project." As soon as Li Ran entered Mr. Xu's office, he immediately got straight to the point, stating the purpose of his visit.

"I knew you wouldn't come looking for me if there wasn't a reason. So, what's up?" Mr. Xu immediately began to speak.

“My wife, Chen Xiaoqi, wants to open her own studio, but she doesn’t have enough funds. She wants you to invest in this project,” Li Ran immediately said.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, Li Ran, but you can't go on like this. Don't you think about yourself? Think about your wife and your daughter. You can't keep doing charity work forever. Your company's profits are too low, stop there. Come work for me, I'll triple your salary." Mr. Xu said to Li Ran with great emotion.

"Old Xu, I was talking to you about investments, not about finding a job," Li Ran said helplessly at this moment.

"Haha, I still prefer you to call me Lao Xu. 'General Manager Xu' sounds really awkward coming from you," General Manager Xu said again.

“Aren’t we discussing business here? Of course, we should be more formal. But personal matters are personal matters,” Li Ran said with a smile.

"Alright, since you're talking about business, let's have a proper discussion. Tell me about the timeline for this project, how much I need to invest, how long it will take to break even, and explain the value of my investment." At this moment, Mr. Xu's attitude suddenly became serious.

"This is the proposal. Take a look at it first. I'll explain it to you properly later." Li Ran then quickly handed the proposal to General Manager Xu.

Chapter 421 Action-Oriented 2

After hearing what Li Ran said, General Manager Xu smiled at Li Ran, then took the documents from Li Ran's hand and began to read them.

Mr. Xu quickly glanced at the documents Li Ran had brought over, and then continued, "Hmm, this proposal is very comprehensive, but it's not enough to convince me to invest. As you know, I only do low-investment, high-return projects. Yours has a long cycle and is quite troublesome in the process."

“That’s true, but my plan is also very clear. Although the timing of the profit is not fixed, it’s definitely a sure thing. You know Chen Xiaoqi’s abilities.” Li Ran continued.

“Yes, her acting skills were indeed good, but that was a year ago. She has already retired from the entertainment industry. How can I believe that she still has the ability to be an actress? Even if she still does, how can I be sure that she also has management skills?” At this moment, President Xu began to slowly explain to Li Ran.

“I believe she can do it. She’s very capable, she just needs this one opportunity.” At that moment, Li Ran said firmly.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll invest in you out of consideration for our personal relationship," Mr. Xu said with a smile.

However, after hearing this, Li Ran became unwilling again. Li Ran said, "No need for that. If you're only voting because of our personal relationship, then I'll look at other people."

"Who else are you going to look for? I'm not saying this to be rude, but I can't be sure that no one will invest in your project. However, I can guarantee that very few people will invest. It's like gambling, without seeing a certain outcome." After hearing what Li Ran said, General Manager Xu quickly began to speak.

"Let's see how it goes. I don't want to let emotions cloud my judgment in business," Li Ran said, still refusing.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but you really need to change your temper. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about her. If they don't find an investor this time, she'll be even further away from her dream." Just then, Mr. Xu began to speak again.

“Yes, what you said is true, but…” Li Ran felt a little hesitant after hearing this, but still had some concerns.

"Alright, don't have any worries. I'm investing money because of our personal relationship, and I'm also investing in you as a person. I trust you, and I definitely won't let you lose money. Right?" Mr. Xu said with a smile to Li Ran at this moment.

“Yes, I definitely won’t let you lose money, but that being said, I can’t let you take money just because of our personal relationship. You didn’t even like this project, so that wouldn’t be right,” Li Ran continued.

"I really don't know what Chen Xiaoqi sees in you. Why are you so long-winded? Seriously. Just one word: do you need investment?" Mr. Xu said helplessly.

"Yes, we need to," Li Ran nodded.

"That's settled then. You need investors, and I'm an investor too. Forget about the reasons, I'll just invest for you. Why all the nonsense?" Mr. Xu said helplessly.

"Alright, then I won't say anything more. This project is up to you. I'll find other investors later, so don't worry." At this moment, Li Ran agreed to President Xu's statement and then began to speak.

"Alright, that doesn't matter. I'll have someone transfer the money to you right now," Mr. Xu said decisively.

Li Ran nodded.

Then Mr. Xu called the finance department and asked her to come to the office.

stomping on...

The finance department then came over.

The finance staff arrived at the office and started knocking on the door.

"Come in," Mr. Xu said.

"Mr. Xu, what's the matter?" The finance officer asked immediately after entering the office.

"Xiao Gao, come here, I have something to tell you. Transfer 50 million into this account," General Manager Xu said to Xiao Gao, the accountant.

“Okay, Mr. Xu,” Xiao Gao from the finance department immediately replied.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, that's not necessary." Li Ran, who was standing to the side, quickly stood up and spoke to Mr. Xu after hearing the amount he mentioned.

"It's alright. To do things well, you need funds. Don't worry, I have working capital in my account. If I didn't, I wouldn't be so generous. You know me." Mr. Xu said to Li Ran.

"Okay." Li Ran nodded.

However, at that moment, Xiao Gao from the finance department said, "Alright, Mr. Xu. It's been transferred. I'll head out now, you two can continue your discussion."

"Yes," Mr. Xu nodded.

After the finance staff left, Mr. Xu spoke to Li Ran again, saying, "I've already transferred the money to the account you registered. Remember to let me know when it starts operating."

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen," Li Ran said with a smile.

"Haha. You, you." Mr. Xu said, pointing at Li Ran with a laugh. Mr. Xu was truly helpless about Li Ran's personality. He had always wanted Li Ran to change his temper, to not be so upright and kind. But then again, it was precisely because of these qualities that he had stayed with Li Ran.

"Are you going to tell me to change my temper again? Don't worry, I'll seriously consider your suggestion this time," Li Ran said with a smile.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I wanted to say. If you can really change, that would be the best.” Mr. Xu continued.
