Jiang Ruoxin drove to the county town, and it was already evening.
The three of them arrived at Yixiangge. Lu Fan booked a private room, ordered four stir-fried wild vegetables, and two jin of shrimp dumplings.
"Brother Fan! Aren't you too stingy? You brought back a great beauty and you're only feeding her this? Can you keep her? Can't you show some sincerity and order something like lobster or hairy crab!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said with a pout, looking at the four small stir-fried dishes that were served.
"Ruomei! Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Ruoxin quickly called out. Although she felt the four small dishes were a bit meager, she also knew that being a guest and following the host's lead was a form of politeness. Moreover, most girls naturally preferred light food to maintain their good figures. Of course, she wasn't among the majority, but her figure was just as good, which was something she had always been proud of.
"Principal Lu! Please don't mind!" Jiang Ruoxin said apologetically.
"It's alright! These four small dishes are wild vegetables grown in our village, and they are also our specialty dishes. If I don't let you try them, you'll definitely blame me later! Of course, if you try them and still don't like them, our establishment's standard isn't low, and we have all sorts of delicacies. You can order whatever you like." Lu Fan said with a faint smile.
"Oh! Thank you, Principal Lu, for the hospitality! Actually, I also like light food." Jiang Ruoxin said quickly.
"Sister is lying, actually my sister prefers meat! Hmph!" Zhan Tai Ruomei snorted from the side, puffing out her nose.
Jiang Ruoxin's face turned red when she was exposed, and she glared at Zhan Tai Ruomei.
"Then try this pine mushroom with sliced pork. Are the pine mushrooms delicious or the pork slices delicious!" Lu Fan picked up a pair of serving chopsticks and placed a piece of pine mushroom and a slice of pork into Jiang Ruoxin's bowl.
Jiang Ruoxin picked up her chopsticks awkwardly, secretly thinking that the pork slices were naturally more delicious. However, since you asked, how could I tell the truth? Alas! He's really a straight man...
Although she reluctantly picked up the pine mushrooms and put them in her mouth, she originally intended to lie insincerely. However, as soon as the pine mushrooms entered her mouth, Jiang Ruoxin's expression changed immediately: "Delicious! Mmm! It's really delicious!"
"Principal Lu! Are these wild vegetables grown in your village?" Jiang Ruoxin asked in surprise. She had never imagined that wild vegetables could be cooked so deliciously.
"To be precise, I grew them!" Lu Fan said with a slight smile.
"The vegetables you grow? Do you have business dealings with this hotel?" Jiang Ruoxin was somewhat relieved. No wonder this kid said the motorcycle was a gift and the BMW was borrowed. It seemed he must have some connection with this hotel.
Before Lu Fan could reply, there were suddenly a few knocks on the door. Then the door opened, and a waiter appeared at the entrance: "Mr. Lu! Someone is looking for you!"
Before the waiter could finish speaking, Lu Guan, along with a few others, stood at the door and waved at Lu Fan: "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu! It's us... it's us!"
"Let them in!" Lu Fan nodded and said.
The waiter moved aside, and with a whoosh... Lu Guan and the other four rushed in.
"Mr. Lu! That... that medicine, we still want it. We have twenty more people outside the main gate who haven't..." Lu Guan said impatiently as soon as he entered.
However, before Lu Guan could finish, Lu Fan waved his hand, stopping him from continuing. With a flick of his wrist, a small bottle appeared in his palm.
"Lu Guan! I'm very busy. This bottle contains fifty small pills. Take them and distribute them. I don't care how much you charge others, I'll only charge five hundred per pill. Don't bring a large group of people to find me in the future. When you need it, just come to me alone. However, I will only provide you with fifty pills per week." Lu Fan handed the small bottle to Lu Guan.
"Okay! Okay, okay! Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you, Mr. Lu!" Lu Guan was overjoyed and quickly put away the small bottle as if it were a treasure. Then he took out his phone and transferred twenty-five thousand to Lu Fan!
With a whoosh... Lu Guan left with his group.
Jiang Ruoxin, standing beside them, was stunned. What was this kid selling? Could it be a crime? Earning twenty-five thousand a week, one hundred thousand a month! Wasn't this money coming too easily? But she felt too embarrassed to ask. However... it seemed everyone called Lu Fan "Mr. Lu"... what did that mean?
Beside them, Zhan Tai Ruomei seemed uninterested in all this and was eating with relish. She hadn't expected these wild vegetables to be so delicious. She had thought Brother Fan was too stingy!
After the three of them finished their meal, Lu Fan took Jiang Ruoxin and Zhan Tai Ruomei to the fruit supermarket across the street. At this moment, Fan Xue'er and Wang Yan were preparing to close the shop. Upon seeing Lu Fan enter with two beauties, one tall and one small, they both felt a pang of jealousy... sourly!
Why did this kid always bring back a beautiful woman every time he went out? The two of them were angry and didn't speak to Lu Fan, only watching the three of them. In their hearts, they just wanted to know what Lu Fan's relationship with them was!
As soon as she entered the fruit supermarket, Jiang Ruoxin covered her mouth. Did this fruit supermarket have the intention of robbing people? These fruits were sold too expensively!
Lu Fan took two large bags and casually filled them with fruits. He put a few pieces of each type of fruit into the bags. Then he left with the two women.
Fan Xue'er and Wang Yan looked at each other, and then suddenly let out a simultaneous roar: "Close the shop! I'm not working for him anymore! Hmph!"
"Principal Lu! This... this is the fruit supermarket you opened?" Jiang Ruoxin asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Lu Fan nodded.
"Then... then who were those two women? Why didn't you introduce them?" Jiang Ruoxin asked, her eyes flickering.
"Oh! They're employees!" Lu Fan shrugged.
"Sister! You'll have a competitor from now on! Hmph! Only jealous women act like that!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said, shaking her little head.
"What do you know! Don't talk while eating apples!" Jiang Ruoxin's face immediately turned red. I've already been "kidnapped" by you all, what competition am I even talking about!
"Hmph!" Zhan Tai Ruomei snorted in dissatisfaction.
They found a hotel not far away and booked two rooms, and the three of them settled in.
Originally, Lu Fan wanted to go back to Fan Xue'er's house to stay. However, thinking of Lin Fang, Yueyue, and Xinxin who had all gone to the provincial capital with Bai Xuemei, only Fan Xue'er and Wang Yan were left at home. These two women were one fiercer than the other... he'd better not. He had already decided to be with Liu Ruyan.
He took off his clothes and took a shower. As he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, he exclaimed, "Holy cow!" Lu Fan was startled. He saw Zhan Tai Ruomei supporting a hypnotized Jiang Ruoxin and slowly walking in. Jiang Ruoxin had clearly just showered as well, wearing only a nightgown.
"Brother Fan! I'm not taking your fruit for nothing. I've brought you a beautiful woman, and she's just been bathed!" Zhan Tai Ruomei said with her head tilted up, as if she wasn't indebted to him.
