On the outskirts of the road.
The evening breeze blew gently, bringing the fresh scent of the fields mixed with the fragrance of soil and the faint aroma of flowers in the distance, as the electric bike’s wheels rubbed quietly against the ground with a soft rustle.
“What did you say?”
The Little Landlady drove the bike, the whirring of the wind in her ears made it hard to hear Lin Chuan’s voice clearly.
Lin Chuan raised his voice a bit and repeated, “I said, Aunt Liu gives me a very familiar feeling, with a strong suggestive and hinting quality in her words.”
“Suggestive?”
The Little Landlady braked abruptly, and the little electric bike came to a sudden stop, leaning against the curb at the side of the road.
Because of the inertia from braking, Lin Chuan tightened his grip on the Little Landlady’s hand: “Little Landlady, do your ears only pick up on keywords or what?”
The Little Landlady took off her helmet, pouted, and said, “The car was going too fast just now, there was too much background noise, and I only caught words like ‘familiar,’ ‘induce,’ ‘hint,’ and ‘suggestive.’”
Lin Chuan also took off his helmet, smacked his forehead, and laughed, “I thought you’d been watching fewer videos lately, but it turns out that’s still all you think about.”
“Ah?”
The Little Landlady pursed her lips slightly, looking down, a little afraid of being scolded by Lin Chuan, “I really haven’t been watching much lately, I’ve been busy with company stuff, and also reading your novel.”
Lin Chuan looked at the Little Landlady’s face, so close and slightly aggrieved, and smiled, “Take it easy, it’s not good for your body.”
“Okay.”
The Little Landlady grinned, “Chairman, what were you saying about Aunt Liu just now?”
Lin Chuan considered for a moment before saying, “Do you remember her wanting to create a big antique market in Anling City?”
“I remember.” The Little Landlady nodded.
“Then, she praised us for our wild ideas and bold entrepreneurship, for starting up a network security company,” Lin Chuan continued.
“Is there a problem with that?” The Little Landlady asked, her face showing a touch of confusion.
Lin Chuan thought for a moment, then said, “If I were to maliciously speculate, when she said that, she glanced at Old Zhang—could it be possible that those words were meant for Old Zhang’s ears?”
The Little Landlady’s eyes widened in further confusion, “Why would she say it to Old Zhang?”
“Investment,” Lin Chuan smiled.
“As in investing in her antique market?” The Little Landlady’s brows knitted slightly as she asked.
“If the speculation is true, then it’s very possible,” Lin Chuan paused, then added, “And, she seems to be leading Old Zhang into the antiques circle.”
“Really?” The Little Landlady asked.
“Old Zhang said he’s been wanting to learn about antiques and hasn’t been able to for a long time,” Lin Chuan recounted Old Zhang’s words.
“Ah?”
The Little Landlady pieced together what Lin Chuan was saying, “Isn’t it possible that Aunt Liu is just trying to swindle Old Zhang to join her, to draw him into investing?”
“It’s possible, but I’m just guessing,” Lin Chuan said with a smile.
“Chairman, what do you think I should do?” The Little Landlady pouted and asked.
“Just wait and see, and remind Old Zhang not to invest rashly or buy antiques. If he wants to, he must discuss it with you. As for Aunt Liu, don’t make a fuss about it. If she really does have good intentions with Old Zhang, she might become your stepmom,” Lin Chuan laughed.
These words could only be spoken between Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady, not to reach the ears of Old Zhang and Liu Qing.
Otherwise, if Liu Qing really had genuine feelings for Old Zhang, hearing these words would only cause rifts between them.
The kind of rift that’s like when everyone teams up to play online games at an internet cafe and then take five cars back to the dorm.
“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on Old Zhang’s treasure chest.” The Little Landlady nodded, her lips pressed together, “Let’s finish our ride and head home.”
“Okay.” Lin Chuan readily agreed.
“Why aren’t you holding me?” The Little Landlady pouted and asked.
“Are you being this straightforward now?” Lin Chuan was taken aback.
This Little Landlady is getting more and more audacious.
It’s killing me!
“I don’t guarantee that my handbrake is very steady,” the Little Landlady said with a smirk.
“But my hand is very steady!”
Lin Chuan directly wrapped his arm around the Little Landlady’s slender waist.
It has to be said.
The Little Landlady’s waist felt very comfortable to hold.
“Let’s go!”
The Little Landlady shouted cheerfully, her voice echoing in the wind.
The gentle evening breeze swept across the fields on the outskirts of Anling City, brushing past the little electric scooter under the dim streetlight, and also causing ripples on the waters of the Anling River beside the road.
Tonight.
Watching Old Zhang and Liu Qing being so affectionate, and now with his arms wrapped around Xinxin’s, the Little Landlady’s, slender waist, Lin Chuan couldn’t help but have his mind wander.
Humans.
In their twenties, an age of vigorous spirit and exuberant energy.
A fragrant and soft little rich woman, also a female university student, wearing a light gray dress, showing off her fair and tight long legs, dangling in front of him, letting him hold her waist, enjoying the evening breeze, giving him a lift home.
Damn it!
Who wouldn’t be moved by this?
…
The gentle breeze of May drifted by, time quietly passed, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, and the brush of time slowly stroked across Anling City, unnoticed.
Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady threw themselves wholeheartedly into their work.
Of course, the Little Landlady was dedicated to throwing herself into Lin Chuan since Lin Chuan was her work.
Now, under the Little Landlady’s management, the 720 Network Security Company was well-organized and steadily rising.
Quite a few companies came to negotiate related cooperation with 720.
Li Qing also rapidly grew under Lin Chuan’s guidance and was becoming increasingly capable of handling things on his own.
So, the Little Landlady, having plenty of free time, poured all her attention into Lin Chuan, doing whatever he needed.
Lin Chuan, on the other hand, continued to develop the anti-fraud app with companies like ‘Jintang’ and ‘Copper Wall,’ finishing up the work on May 21st.
Immediately after.
On May 23rd, led by Han River Province and with Anling City as the test site for the anti-fraud app, they began promoting the app.
However, promoting an app is not easy.
Especially this anti-fraud app, not to mention whether it has any anti-fraud effects, just the step of downloading it already stumped many people.
Many found it bothersome and thought it took up memory.
You tell them that this is an anti-fraud app, capable of blocking scam information from abroad, and identifying scam calls and related links.
They believe that with their intelligence, there’s no way a scammer could trick them.
After all, nobody thinks of themselves as a fool.
But if someone tells them they can cash out when their Pinduoduo account reaches 500 yuan, and they see 499.99 yuan plus 99 gold coin fragments, they could still call dozens of friends they haven’t contacted in years, including aunts and grand-aunts, to help them sign up for Pinduoduo.
Therefore, the promotion of the anti-fraud app didn’t go smoothly.
But this was the responsibility of Anling City’s Anti-Fraud Center, not Lin Chuan’s.
Having completed the development of the anti-fraud app, Lin Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
May 26th.
