Xu Nanyan looked at Xu Lingyu with an unusually serious look in her eyes.

"Lingyu, you must be clear about one thing. Even if you fail to study at Yuelu Academy, you cannot interfere in the family business when you return. Instead, you must continue to study at Songmen Academy.

"Compared with Yuelu Academy and Songmen Academy, the former is naturally the better choice. So, are you no longer planning to stick to it? Do you really have to think about it?"

Xu Lingyu choked at these words and thought with his toes that he knew he had to choose a good academy. At this moment, even if he felt frustrated and depressed, he could only encourage himself secretly not to give up.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely persist until Mr. Hanjin is willing to see us."

"Okay, then you should stop studying during this period and come with me to help out at Xu's business. This is just for practice."

Xu Lingyu was stunned at first, and then became a little confused. She didn't know what the eldest sister was singing.

But he did not raise any questions, but responded hurriedly.

A few days later, Xu Lingyu, who had been "pushing" packages for two days and calculating accounts for several days at Xu's store, changed her whole person and became more fond of reading.

Every day as soon as it gets bright, I start reading.

This was also due to the experience of carrying the bag for two days. Seeing the laborers carrying a bag of grain effortlessly, he swore in front of Xu Nanyan that he could do this job well.

However, when he started trying, he found that he couldn't lift or carry it, and even dragging it around was a bit difficult.

After persisting for two days, he confessed his mistake in front of Xu Nanyan and said that he should not promise things that he could not do.

After that, Xu Nanyan contacted the manager and arranged for him to keep accounts.

Because the business still needs to operate normally, bookkeeping is not just a play, but has to be of practical use, so for the sake of safety, the manager arranged for him to have a deputy.

When keeping accounts, Xu Lingyu made several mistakes. Every time his deputy pointed them out, he sincerely admitted his mistakes and corrected them again.

This made the deputy and the manager of the firm have a good impression of him.

After all, Xu Lingyu is the young boss, so they can't be too demanding. Their sincere attitude is already much better than many children of wealthy businessmen.

But Xu Lingyu felt guilty. He thought he was so powerful that he would be able to help his parents run the family business in the future.

Who would have thought that he would be such a bad guy.

Therefore, after keeping accounts for a few days, he decisively proposed to Xu Nanyan that he still wanted to continue studying. As for the accounting, he could just be a deputy, not an accountant.

Xu Nanyan was very pleased with Xu Lingyu's change.

In less than ten days, she had a clear understanding of herself and knew that she should study hard, so that she would not waste time and again causing trouble to other people's business management.

…

After the spring of the following year, two people, an old man and a young man, appeared in front of the humble house.

That young man turned out to be Lan Sheng.

The old man next to him was an old man with white hair and a loose posture. This was also the old Mr. Han Jin whom Xu Nanyan had asked to see many times but was rejected many times.

"Sir, you are finally back. Maybe you can meet the little girl from the Luodu Xu family and her group this time, right?"

The two of them had just met, and Lan Sheng immediately mentioned Xu Nanyan and others.

They closed the door and walked into the house through the courtyard of the Han family. Han Jinnian glanced at Lan Sheng with a smile but not a smile, and then said: "Little girl? As far as I know, you are only six or seven years older than others."

Right? Then Lansheng, you are a young boy?"

Lan Sheng's cheeks turned red and he said in surprise: "Slip of the tongue, sir, look at me, I accidentally said the wrong thing."

"No, I think you are attracted by beauty." Han Jinnian teased.

Just when Lan Sheng was about to deny it, Han Jinnian said again: "Okay, I won't discuss this with you. The old man just wants to ask you, have you noticed anything particularly wrong with anyone in their group?"

"Indeed, I see that many young girls will look at the maid next to them every time they are rejected. Moreover, I have already inquired about it. When they came to Lucheng, they brought two maids with them. The little maid

That’s one of them.”

"Little maid? Let me ask you, how old is she?"

"You also know that I always judge people's ages very accurately. I estimate that she should be around fourteen years old. But now that another year has passed, she should be fifteen years old?"

Hearing this, Han Jinnian stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Well, almost, it should be this big."

"Ah? The students don't understand."

Lan Sheng looked surprised. He felt that he seemed to know something extraordinary. Could it be that the little maid... was the daughter of the husband's wife?

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head. He must have gone astray. How could Sir be such a person?

Besides, he is Mr.’s favorite disciple, so there is no reason why he doesn’t even know about this kind of thing!

Furthermore, the husband has never married a wife, so the suggestion of having an extramarital affair is simply untenable.

Han Jinnian didn't care what his little disciple was thinking, and walked forward on his own. As he walked, he said: "Lan Sheng, get ready, maybe you will have an additional little junior sister soon.

"

"What?" Lan Sheng looked surprised and followed him, "Sir, just tell me, who is that little maid..."

…

Two days later, Xu Nanyan received the news that Han Jinnian was back, and quickly came to visit again with people and gifts.

Xu Ruoxiang actually didn't want to go.

It was my younger brother Xu Lingyu who said, "If you don't come, if you encounter danger along the way, who will protect our sister..."

So, she followed her again.

In fact, Lucheng is a city suitable for retirement. People here live at a slow pace and their happiness index is also very high. Of course, that is assuming that the word "happiness index" exists in this era.

Lan Sheng was still the one who opened the door to greet them. Xu Nanyan and Xu Lingyu were as nervous as when they first came to Han's house.

Xu Ruoxiang, on the other hand, is a daily Buddhist, so if she is rejected, she will just go back.

Dafang's thoughts were much more complicated. She just felt that this old Mr. Han was really untouchable. He was too patient and had delayed them for more than half a year. She didn't know if they would be able to see him again this time.

"Here? Sir, he's inside. Please come in with me."

Lan Sheng's words were like the sound of nature, especially to Xu Nanyan, and she couldn't help but say thank you.

"You're welcome, Miss Xu." Lan Sheng replied politely, but inadvertently glanced at Dafang beside Xu Nanyan from the corner of his eye.

With Da Fang's spiritual consciousness, she naturally felt it, but she didn't take it to heart.

The group of people then walked into the main room where the Han family entertained guests. Six bowls of tea were placed on the table in the room.
