Chapter 38

All the way until Xu Junran and Yuan Xiaoyue left the restaurant, Lin Yuqing didn’t dare to come out and face anyone.

Walking into the inner room to say goodbye to her cousin, Yuan Xiaoyue complained helplessly to Xu Junran while leaving, "Brother Xu, why did you have to tease Cousin? Really."

Xu Junran smiled and raised his bandaged hand, "Little girl, I’m a patient. If you say this to me, I’ll be heartbroken."

Yuan Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Xu Junran and didn’t say anything more. She also knew that if it weren’t for Xu Junran today, Lin Yuqing might have gotten into serious trouble. With her cousin’s fierce personality, if something really happened to her, it could end up in a disastrous situation.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiaoyue couldn’t help but shiver.

And for Xu Junran, who had stopped all this and even got injured, Yuan Xiaoyue’s eyes sparkled as she couldn’t help but show a sweet smile.

Which young girl doesn’t dream of love?

Especially when facing a man who has repeatedly displayed heroism in front of her.

In this era, talented scholars and heroes are the most likely to make one’s heart flutter.

After sending Yuan Xiaoyue back to the beer factory dormitory, Xu Junran turned and walked back to the restaurant.

The matter had to be thoroughly resolved; otherwise, it could still cause problems over time.

"Why did you come back?"

Seeing Xu Junran return, Lin Yuqing, who was tidying up, asked in surprise, her face turning slightly red.

Xu Junran was also slightly embarrassed. After all, they had had such intimate contact, which, although necessary in the moment, still made him a bit uncomfortable.

"Yuqing, I have something to say to you."

Xu Junran calmed himself and said to Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqing thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I’ll tidy up. You can sit down first."

Xu Junran found a place to sit and watched as Lin Yuqing tidied up the tables and chairs inside the restaurant, then closed the door, indicating she didn’t plan to do business today.

After a while, Lin Yuqing finished tidying up and sat down opposite Xu Junran, having changed into a bright red blouse, looking very attractive.

"Junran, thank you for what happened today," Lin Yuqing said before Xu Junran could speak.

Xu Junran knew she was referring to how he had helped her out today.

His expression became slightly more serious, and he said to Lin Yuqing, "Yuqing, do you think today’s matter is over?"

Lin Yuqing was taken aback and then laughed bitterly, "I understand what you mean. Qin San will come back in a few days."

Unlike Yuan Xiaoyue, who grew up under her parents’ protection and was like a flower in a greenhouse, Lin Yuqing had been on the streets since she was young and was now self-reliant. Her understanding of human nature far exceeded Yuan Xiaoyue’s, and she clearly understood Lu Rui’s concerns.

"I don’t plan to keep this restaurant open," Lin Yuqing looked around her restaurant and said with a smile, "I’ll tidy up and go look for work elsewhere."

Xu Junran was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Lin Yuqing to have this kind of courage. In this era, it was rare for a woman to have the courage to venture out, and she could be considered an oddity in others’ eyes.

After some thought, Xu Junran said to Lin Yuqing, "Yuqing, do you know Pengfei City?"

Lin Yuqing was taken aback and then nodded, "Yes, is it the special zone you mentioned to the Feng family girl during dinner?"

"It’s an economic special zone," Xu Junran corrected Lin Yuqing’s mistake with a smile, looking at her seriously, "What do you think you could do if you went out to work?"

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she considered Xu Junran’s words. After a while, Lin Yuqing lowered her head helplessly and said with a sigh, "What can I do? I don’t have much education or any special skills. Apart from cooking some home-style dishes, I don’t have anything to offer. I really don’t know what to do out there."

She looked up at Xu Junran, "You didn’t come to ask me this, did you?"

After all, she had experienced a lot since she was young. Although Lin Yuqing wasn’t well-educated, she wasn’t stupid.

Lu Rui smiled, "Yuqing, if I said I could get you a job in the government or make you the boss of a company, which would you choose?"

As he said this, a sudden aura of confidence emanated from Xu Junran, an aura that Lin Yuqing had never seen before. Even when facing Qin Shou, Xu Junran hadn’t shown such an aura. It was a confidence that everything was under control.

At this moment, Xu Junran’s eyes exuded an irresistible aura.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yuqing looked at Xu Junran in confusion, not understanding how a recent college graduate could have the confidence to say such things.

A confident smile appeared on Xu Junran’s lips. He placed his fingers on the table and tapped them rhythmically, neither too light nor too heavy, producing a perfect sound.

"Yuqing, don’t worry about where my confidence comes from. Just tell me your choice."

Xu Junran answered slowly.

He wasn’t in a hurry because he knew Lin Yuqing would choose the answer he had guessed.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, Lin Yuqing’s expression suddenly became very calm, "I’ll follow your advice."

"Really?"

Xu Junran was slightly taken aback, not expecting Lin Yuqing to not choose as he had guessed but to throw the ball back to him.

For Xu Junran, it didn’t matter how Lin Yuqing chose. What he wanted to see was whether Lin Yuqing had the potential to be molded. Because the grand plan in Xu Junran’s mind required someone to execute it in Pengfei City, and this person had to be completely obedient to him or have a sharp mind that didn’t belong to this era.

"Do you trust me that much?" Xu Junran asked Lin Yuqing.

Lin Yuqing smiled indifferently, "Do I have a choice now? Everyone in the village thinks I have a white tiger fate, bringing misfortune to my husband and family. With what happened today, it won’t be long before the county is full of rumors about me being a fox spirit seducing a college graduate. What other choice do I have?"

Xu Junran was silent. Lin Yuqing’s words were true. In this era, conservative and open-minded ideas clashed intensely. Once such rumors spread, it would be almost impossible to stand in the county.

Sometimes, gossip can drown a person!

This was true whether in the present or decades later.
