Chapter 21 A Very Important Person
Lu Ran had seen Lin Shaoxian's business card and knew that he was a graduate of Harbin University and had interned at Massachusetts Eye Hospital.
He had no doubt about their identities; they were indeed capable.
What Lu Ran wanted to figure out was whether Lin Shaoxian could really help him book that kind of customized surgery, which meant that the other party not only had to have worked in a hospital, but also had to know the top doctors there.
After all, this is essentially taking on a side job, and only by being familiar with the people inside can one act as an intermediary to connect everyone and discuss things gradually.
Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "The price is negotiable, I have no problem with that."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone...
"If you really want me to help you make the contact, you have to let me know first that you can afford all the medical expenses. Otherwise, even if I make the contact for you and take you to the hospital for the necessary check-ups, and then you still don't have enough money... then I'll have offended them."
"How about this, Mr. Lin, when do you have time to meet? Then you'll understand that I'm serious and not just wasting your time."
the other side.
Seeing how sincere Lu Ran was, Lin Shaoxian began to believe him.
If that's the case, he can at least get ten percent of it, which is a pretty good side income.
Money has been hard to earn these days. He just spent millions on his girlfriend, so why not try to recoup some of it?
Although Lin Shaoxian still had some doubts about Lu Ran's financial strength, he still smiled and said, "Okay, then let's do it next Wednesday. I'll be quite busy these next few days."
"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Lin."
"Um."
After hanging up the call, Lin Shaoxian turned around in confusion.
"Your old classmate, is there a blind person in your family?"
Liang Mengying shook her head: "I don't know either, I don't know him very well."
Lin Shaoxian asked doubtfully, "Actually, if he did a little research, he should know that this kind of surgery can be done for two or three hundred thousand yuan through normal procedures, but he insisted on the safest and best private customization. There is only one possibility: the person who performs the surgery is very important to him."
"It's millions, and he talks about it so casually. Are you sure his family's financial situation is really just average?"
Liang Mengying pursed her lips: "I guess...right!"
Lin Shaoxian immediately became wary again.
If Lu Ran really is some kind of hidden rich second generation, will Liang Mengying regret it?
Lin Shaoxian wasn't some greenhorn fresh out of school. The way Liang Mengying looked at Lu Ran that day was definitely not just a simple expression of surprise at meeting an old classmate.
It doesn't matter if the other party is a poor guy.
But what if Lu Ran is some low-key rich second-generation heir, and also has feelings for Liang Mengying...?
Lin Shaoxian dared not think about it any further and could only hope that he was overthinking it.
···
One week later.
Ronghua Street.
Lu Ran looked at the property certificate in his hand and gazed towards the middle of the villa area, where the most luxurious and largest villa was his; he had just become the owner of the villa.
Just a month ago, he was a man who didn't even have a job.
Unexpectedly, in just a few dozen days, he has already driven a luxury car worth millions and lived in a mansion worth nearly ten million.
Everything felt like a dream, as if it were unreal.
"Mr. Lu, if you need custom-made furniture, you can contact me. I can help you connect with a professional craftsman."
A salesperson from the sales office politely placed a cup of hot tea in front of Lu Ran.
This is the fifth time someone has approached Lu Ran to sell furniture.
Lu Ran laughed and said, "You offer this service?"
The salesperson smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, we can provide services from purchasing a house to renovation, and even housekeeping or garden maintenance. Just let me know if you need anything."
Lu Ran nodded: "Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything."
He couldn't help but sigh that every industry these days is too competitive.
"Ms. Liang, you have excellent taste. The villa on the left is currently the best in Ronghua District. Not only is the price favorable, but the location is also excellent, second only to large villas with gardens in mid-range locations."
"Honey, I really like it. What do you think?"
"Okay, no problem, buy it if you like it!"
Hearing the voice, Lu Ran turned around and saw that it was Lin Shaoxian, whom he had arranged to meet the next day.
Looks like he's here to look at houses with his girlfriend!
Lu Ran stood up and waved: "Mr. Lin."
Lin Shaoxian was taken aback, and looked at Lu Ran walking over in surprise, saying, "Lu Ran, what are you doing here?"
He thought to himself, "Is this kid secretly following me?"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. I came to pick up the property certificate today, but I didn't expect to run into Mr. Lin here."
"Property deed? You...you bought a house here?"
Lin Shaoxian and Liang Mengying both looked surprised.
Lu Ran nodded calmly: "Yes, Mr. Lin is also planning to buy a house here? What a coincidence! We'll be neighbors from now on. But I might not live here, because I'm not used to it, haha."
Actually, he didn't want to be too far away from Cheng Ning.
This place is dozens of kilometers away from his rented apartment. Unless he can convince Cheng Ning to move in with him, he will only occasionally take time to experience the feeling of living in a big villa.
Looking at the property certificate in Lu Ran's hand, Lin Shaoxian had no choice but to believe it was true.
He glanced at his girlfriend beside him without making a sound and noticed that her expression was very strange. Was what he was afraid of really going to happen?
Which building did you buy?
Although he was unhappy inside, Lin Shaoxian remained calm on the surface.
Lu Ran was unaware that the two of them harbored different intentions and schemes because of him. What he was thinking now was to use the villa as a way to prove his assets to them.
Pointing into the distance, he said, "The one in the very middle, the one with the big garden."
Lin Shaoxian was startled again.
"You...you're the one who bought that villa?"
Although Chengjiang City is not a first-tier city, the villa area in the city center is not something that ordinary people can afford to live in.
The villa with a large garden in the villa area is the most expensive here, priced at over eight million.
The economy is bad now, and there are very few people who can afford to spend more than eight million to buy a house. It's not that he can't afford it, but he definitely can't bear to spend the money.
It's very simple, not worth it.
The price is inflated, and it's not a big city, so buying it wouldn't be very practical.
But you can't look down on people who can afford to buy. On the contrary, being able to spend over eight million to buy a villa here shows considerable financial strength.
This shows that others are not short of money and will not weigh the pros and cons because of more than eight million.
Lu Ran smiled and nodded: "Yes."
"Mr. Lin, now you can believe I'm serious, right? Could you please help me contact the hospital?"
"Don't worry, I won't let Mr. Lin help me for nothing."
Lin Shaoxian pondered for a moment.
Knowing that Lu Ran was so capable, he was actually very worried that Lu Ran would poach his employees.
Upon closer observation, Lin Shaoxian discovered that Lu Ran had never actually looked at his girlfriend.
Lin Shaoxian had met many people and could tell that Lu Ran wasn't faking it.
As he was thinking, Lin Shaoxian suddenly noticed that Lu Ran was carrying a bag of women's cosmetics.
He pointed to the cosmetics and asked, "What's this...?"
Lin Shaoxian gave an irrelevant answer, and although Lu Ran found it strange, she still replied politely, "This is for my friend. By the way, she is the patient."
Lin Shaoxian's eyes flickered slightly: "Really? I wonder who she is to you, that you care so much about her, is she family or...?"
Lu Ran thought for a moment and replied, "He's a friend, someone...very important to me."
Lin Shaoxian laughed and said, "Not bad, young man, you are not only young and promising, but also loyal and righteous."
"What you told me is fine. I'll contact my teacher Kevin tonight when I get back. Someone from the hospital should contact you tomorrow. Once you've discussed it with them, when I go abroad next month, you can bring your patients with you, and I'll take you to the hospital."
Lu Ran smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Lin."
