Chapter 216: Who has better adaptability? Chen's Treasure Book vs. Lanxiang
Chen An was very proud and another plan was forming in his mind. At present, his net worth was just a number in Nana's eyes, and Nana also had a rough estimate of it. So when the time came to support Xu Hongdou's entrepreneurship, he could easily make a fake novel copyright pledge contract.
Think about it, in order to support his own business, a man pledged his source of income and got the funds in return. With such a wave of touching feelings, even if Xu Hongdou knew about his relationship with Nan Nan, so what? His favorability would still rise rapidly. By then, when the time comes, he will act pitiful to Nan Nan, and the assisting expert will come out to break the barrier actively. Wouldn't Xu Hongdou want to get the money?
The more he thought about it, the more proud he became. His plan was simply perfect. He hummed a little tune as he leisurely strolled to the grocery store at the entrance of the village. He raised his hand and called out, "Xiaoqin, give me two popsicles."
When Xiaoqin saw Chen An, she couldn't help but push up her glasses and asked with sparkling eyes, "Brother Chen, what flavor do you want to eat?"
"One pineapple, please pick the remaining one for me." Chen An put his hands in his pockets with a faint smile on his lips.
"Here, Brother Chen, this one has yogurt flavor, and it's my favorite." Xiaoqin said with an excited smile on her face, as if she was presenting a treasure.
Chen An took the pineapple popsicle, tore open the package, took a bite, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Brother Chen, you don't like sour taste? Then I'll change it for you." Xiaoqin said nervously.
"No, no..." Chen An quickly grabbed Xiao Qin's arm, "This is my treat, of course it's the flavor you like..."
Xiaoqin couldn't help but smile sweetly, and sat down briskly next to Chen An, supporting her chin with her hands.
Chen An had nothing to do at the moment, so he asked casually, "How's business in the store?"
"Not so good. It was okay before, but now there's a new one in the village, and business is not good at all..." Xiaoqin said, biting a popsicle depressedly, turned her head, stared at Chen An's face without blinking, with surprise in her eyes, and asked: "Brother Chen, why do I feel like you've become handsome again?"
"Haha, I'm planning to elect the most handsome man in the world, and you have to vote for me then." Chen An laughed, revealing a row of white teeth.
"Brother Chen, your bragging is too unreliable, but if there really is such a competition, I will definitely be your number one fan." Xiaoqin smiled and looked at the man next to her with admiration in her eyes, especially this face. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Thinking of the rumors in the village, Xiaoqin asked tentatively: "Brother Chen, is it true that you and Sister Nana are friends?"
Chen An was somewhat helpless. Everyone knew what Xiaoqin Sima Zhao was thinking. She didn't pester Xie Zhiyao but was targeting him. He stood up, patted the little girl on the head, and said with a smile, "Children should not care about adult matters..."
Xiaoqin retorted unconvincedly: "I'm not a child. I'm only one year younger than you, and my mother was married when she was my age."
Chen An waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then you have to work harder and try to catch up with Auntie's progress..."
"Brother Chen, you haven't told me yet..." Seeing Chen An about to leave, Xiaoqin hurriedly asked.
"The secret cannot be revealed..." Chen An waved his hand without looking back and strode away.
Looking at Chen An's back, Xiao Qin took a bite of the popsicle fiercely and muttered, "Humph, everyone treats me like a child, how am I small?" As she spoke, she opened her collar to take a look, and then looked at the popsicle in her hand. She was stunned, "You clearly said you would treat me, but in the end you asked me to pay for it..."
Chen An strolled all the way to the village entrance, bought some food and was about to return to the restaurant when Xie Zhiyao's voice came from behind him: "Brother Chen."
Chen An turned around and saw the Xie Zhiyao brothers. He couldn't help but asked with a smile: "How do you feel about returning home?"
Xie Zhiyuan scratched his head awkwardly, patted his brother and said, "Go to grandma's place, don't you have a gift?"
"Yeah." Xie Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen An and said, "Thank you, Brother Chen."
"It looks like you've made great progress." Chen An nodded with a smile, and Xie Zhiyuan turned and left.
Xie Zhiyao then asked, "I heard Nana is sick. What's wrong with you?"
"Why are you asking me this question?" Chen An frowned and looked at him puzzledly.
"Aren't you the rumored boyfriend? Who else should I ask if not you?" Xie Zhiyao raised his eyebrows with a sly smile on his lips.
"It's nothing. I've just been exploited too badly by you, the capitalist. I just need to take a rest and recover my health." Chen An rolled his eyes and said unhappily.
Xie Zhiyao smiled awkwardly and asked, "Brother Chen, everything you told me last time has come true. I didn't realize you can tell fortunes?"
"Just say what you want to say. Is it appropriate for two grown men like us to have an awkward conversation here?" Chen An crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking impatient.
"So what do you think about the future development of the village?" Xie Zhiyao looked at Chen An with anticipation.
"Well, you're addicted to freeloading, aren't you?" Chen An curled his lips.
"No, no..." Xie Zhiyao waved his hands quickly.
"The future is promising..." Chen An raised his head slightly and said thoughtfully.
Xie Zhiyao's eyes lit up, and he wanted to ask something, but when he saw Chen An remained silent, he gave up the idea, rubbed his hands, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Chen, can you do me a favor?"
Chen An glanced at Xie Zhiyuan, who was showing his gift to Grandma in the distance, and said with a smile: "Because of that kid."
Xie Zhiyao clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Chen is really amazing."
"Tell me what you think..." Chen An put his hands in his pockets and looked at Xie Zhiyao calmly.
Xie Zhiyao told Chen An about his plan, which was similar to what he guessed. Xie Zhiyao wanted to have a barbecue dinner in the evening, so that everyone could chat and have fun together, and by the way, help to enlighten Xie Zhiyuan about the matter of him pooping his pants and let the naughty kid go back to school.
Chen An gave a thumbs up and joked, "Otherwise, why would you say you are a profiteer? I eat your meal and have to help you educate your children."
"I have no other choice. It's useless to beat this naughty kid. I don't know what to do, so I can only come up with this bad idea." Xie Zhiyao smiled bitterly helplessly.
"Although the idea is a bit bad, it can have a certain effect. But what does this have to do with you asking me for help?" Chen An tilted his head, looking confused.
Xie Zhiyao smiled awkwardly, "I think you are the most down-to-earth and realistic among the people in the courtyard, and you have a smart mind. See if there is any good way to help my brother study well..."
"You want to change your life mentor just for a barbecue?" Chen An paused and said with a smile: "It's not impossible, but you have to pay more..."
Xie Zhiyao reacted immediately and said generously, "Three bottles of cherry wine."
"Five bottles, fixed price..." Chen An stretched out a hand and shook his fingers.
"Deal..." Xie Zhiyao gritted his teeth.
"OK, I'll go first. Prepare more meat and don't be so picky..." Chen An waved his hand and walked towards the restaurant with brisk steps.
