Luan Ran was more straightforward than Luan Yan. He threw a file bag directly on the table and said, "I have no experience in catering, but I know a few friends who are interested in this field. If you need, I can introduce them to you. Don't get me wrong, I don't like you. I'm just helping my sister."
Luan Yan often mentioned Luan Ran to Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng had a general understanding of Luan Ran. From being a prostitute-control freak to being righteous, kind, and tough on the outside but soft on the inside, Lu Sheng would never hate someone who was nice to Luan Yan. He took the file bag and chuckled, "I know, thank you."
The bag contained information about two foreign schools.
"My sister once thought about studying abroad. I checked your information, and your grades are very good. If you want to do business, I think you can still further study, but it depends on your and my sister's wishes."
From a professional perspective, Luan Ran has a good impression of Lu Sheng. He has a long-term vision and management ability. From the results of her investigation, his employees have a good evaluation of him. They respect and fear him. If he had a good family background, his achievements would definitely be higher than they are now.
When Luan Yan was studying, she had the idea of studying music abroad. Later, she didn't mention it. It might be to find Lu Sheng, or it might be because of her busy work, but Luan Ran still remembered that their family was in a deadlock now, and this situation must be broken.
Lu Sheng could understand her good intentions. Although he would occasionally be jealous of Luan Ran, he was also glad that Luan Ran was there during his absence.
"I'll discuss it with her."
Lu Sheng is now a little used to Luan Ran's personality. Just like Luan Yan said, if Luan Ran really hated someone, he would have turned around and left long ago. How could he stay here and talk nonsense with him, and give him these things to pave the way for them. Luan Ran said the harshest words, but had the softest heart.
To get along with her, you have to look at her actual actions.
Luan Ran leaned back in his chair, stirred the coffee in the cup, and lowered his eyes and said, "Has my sister told you about our family affairs?"
"A little bit."
Lu Sheng had heard a little about the family affairs of the Luan family. He knew that Luan Suqing had always been very harsh on the two sisters, and her control was ridiculously strong, but Luan Yan didn't like to mention it very much, and he wouldn't ask about it. He would only say a few words when she wanted to.
Luan Ran nodded and said sadly, "My mother's behavior is inappropriate, but with her personality... She will never apologize to you in her life. For this, I want to apologize on her behalf. In addition, I want to tell you about my parents today."
Lu Sheng sat up straight after hearing this: "No need to apologize, just tell me."
...
Luan Suqing's office is always decorated in a dull way. She doesn't like bright colors or anything bright. The office is mostly gray and white. When the curtains are drawn, the whole room looks like a gray prison.
This style can give people a strong psychological pressure. When young employees enter this office and look at Luan Suqing, who has a terrifying aura on the office chair, they will mostly be shocked. Some old employees know Luan Suqing's work style and are even more frightened. Therefore, no one in Luanshan Group is not afraid of Luan Suqing.
Luan Ran's office is also like this. This is Luan Suqing's request. As for what Luan Ran likes, does it matter?
Every day, the assistant reports to Luan Suqing about his work. Before leaving work, he has to confirm the schedule for tomorrow. Today is the same, but after work, Luan Suqing stopped him.
"Did Luan Ran come to work?"
Assistant: "..."
In fact, he wanted to complain. Don't you know whether your daughter went to work? How can a mother ask an assistant such a question! This mother and daughter are also awkward. The daughter wants to borrow him to ask about her mother, and the mother wants to ask him about her daughter.
But he didn't dare to answer honestly: "Little Luan didn't come to work."
Luan Suqing sank his face and said, "Tell her that if she doesn't come to work again, she will never come again. I don't need such an irresponsible employee."
Luan Ran has a good relationship with these young employees in the company. Although everyone often says that Little Luan is the daughter of a big devil, they all believe in her from the bottom of their hearts. She is a little fierce at work, but she is too kind-hearted in private. Luan Suqing has never given Luan Ran any help. 90% of the employees think that Luan Suqing is too much for his daughter.
The assistant was also in the 90%. He wanted to speak up for Luan Ran after hearing such words, but he endured it. In the end, he didn't have the courage to confront his boss.
"Okay."
The assistant perfunctorily left the office.
Luan Suqing saw his eyes and his hesitation to speak. She subconsciously doubted herself in her heart. Was she really too much? In this world, most people are afraid of her, even her daughter...
The Luan family is a famous family. Several generations before them have been officials and have great power in the local area. Luan Suqing's grandfather is the youngest son. By chance, he got a gem mine and went into business. Luanshan is her grandfather's name.
Logically, Luan Suqing should have grown up pampered, but she didn't. This family is extremely patriarchal. Just because she is a daughter, her mother has a hard time in the Luan family.
Luan Suqing grew up in such an environment where she was bullied. She didn't enjoy too much family affection, and naturally didn't know how to love. She felt it was unfair, so she developed a strong character. In her mind, everything must be controlled by herself, so she was extremely strong and had a terrible desire for control. She wanted to be the first in everything, to prove that she was more capable than others, and to surpass everyone. She could do whatever it took and spend all her efforts.
In fact, she did it. No one in the Luan family was more capable than her. The illegitimate children who were "proud" of their father were not as good as her.
The first thing she did after taking charge of the Luan family was to get her parents to divorce, because she felt that her father's name was not worthy of being written with her mother, and then drove all his sons out, so that Luan Yan's grandmother could live a good life.
From then on, Luan Suqing's reputation was very bad. A woman who did this would inevitably be criticized by thousands of people. It was impossible to say that she didn't care at all, but her personality did not allow her to show any weakness.
She met Luan Yan's father at a concert. He was a handsome and passionate cellist with outstanding looks. What attracted her most was his temperament, unfettered soul, and true freedom. He didn't worry about anything in the world. He was like the wind, gentle and free, elusive, and didn't care about anything, including her.
A few months later, she got pregnant unexpectedly, but a child could never tie a man down, even if he had a hundred children. Knowing that she was pregnant, the man was unmoved and continued to do what he liked, music, drinking, and writing. He said he would not marry her. His feelings were real and short-lived.
During her pregnancy, he proposed to break up, found another girlfriend, and started a new relationship. He didn't like marriage or children. The wind would not stay on a person. In his world, there were many things more important than marriage and love. He would never compromise with something he didn't like. His own life was to live freely and willfully.
she doesn't know whether she should be happy that he didn't care about her money or sad for his coldness and ruthlessness.
Luan Suqing was proud. It was impossible for her to compromise with a man and beg him to stay. At that time, Luan Yan's grandmother was still alive, so Luan Suqing did not make a bigger mistake. She just drove him out of the country and made him unable to play the violin again for the rest of his life.
Luan Suqing stayed in the office alone for a long time, until the night fell, the sky was gray and sank, there was no moon tonight, and all the light was gone; this room was no different from a prison.
She hesitated for a moment while holding her phone, and finally called Luan Ran.
Luan Ran was stunned for a long time when she saw the call display, and Luan Suqing didn't say anything on the other end, so she tried to ask: "Mom?"
