Chapter 179 Little fan girl?Chen Cheng’s pretty niece
The first floor is just a business hall used by Chen Cheng to receive business partners, while the second floor is the real living room used by his family members.
The living room is very large, with a round table like one in an oil painting placed in the center of the room. The two walls are decorated with various jade stones, which is completely different from Zheng Xueming's house.
It was also the first time for Yang Jianlong to have dinner at Chen Cheng's house and he seemed a little nervous.
He whispered to Lin Ran: "Godfather, you are so proud. I have never eaten in Uncle Chen's restaurant. Legend has it that their chef's ancestors worked in the royal kitchen of the palace. Only the ancient emperors could eat." It tastes great.”
Yang Jianlong introduced that he also heard about it from Zheng Xueming.
Chen Cheng has a wide range of contacts and is a pleasant person, but one thing about him is that he invites people to dinner, never at home.
Only people approved by him, as well as his family, are eligible to eat in his house!
I didn't expect that if I brought Lin Ran to see Chen Cheng today, I would encounter such a good thing.
After Chen Cheng greeted them into the living room, he disappeared. Lin Ran thought he had gone to deal with official business. After all, a busy man like him couldn't be idle at home all day.
However, Chen Cheng soon called the family to the living room.
"Brother, younger brother and sister, let me introduce to you, this is Brother Lin."
At this moment, Chen Cheng had no sense of restraint in front of others, just like the head of the house introducing guests to family members.
His younger brother and sister-in-law were about the same age as Lin Ran's parents, but it could be seen that they were well taken care of.
"Brother Lin is such a handsome person. No wonder my brother admires you so much." The man who looked exactly like Chen Cheng, but looked younger smiled and shook Lin Ran's hand.
"You are so young and promising. It would be great if my Chen Shuming could be like you." His wife smiled and shook Lin Ran's hand.
Only then did Lin Ran notice the girl behind them.
Wearing a light yellow dress and a bow in her hair, she looked like a rich girl.
She was tall. Although she was only about 1.6 meters and a half, a girl would look particularly tall, giving Lin Ran the illusion that she was about the same height as him.
"Are you Lin Ran?" She passed her parents, came to Lin Ran, and looked at him carefully.
Lin Ran was a little embarrassed: "I am Lin Ran, but do you know me?"
Chen Shuming directly held Lin Ran's hand with both hands and said with some excitement: "Of course, I went to the Palace Museum some time ago and heard the curator praising you."
"Forbidden City Museum?" Lin Ran was a little confused.
"Shu Ming, you are so rude." Her father pretended to give her a stern lesson.
Chen Shuming then remembered that she hadn't introduced herself yet, and said with a smile: "Hello, Lin Ran, my name is Chen Shuming. I am now an intern at the Palace Museum, studying the history of Chinese civilization and cultural relic appraisal."
"Hello, I'm Lin Ran." Lin Ran introduced himself with a smile.
The other party turned out to be an intern at the National Palace Museum?But looking at her age, she should be about the same as him.
However, Lin Ran felt relieved afterwards.
In this era, it is very difficult to take the college entrance examination, and it may not work even if it is related.
Therefore, some children with poor grades but good family backgrounds will directly choose to study in higher vocational schools and then arrange jobs through family connections.
But he was just guessing, not sure.
The girl in front of her has a lively personality and looks very smart, so she won't be unable to get into college.
It's just not easy to ask now.
"Okay, Chen Shuming, will you let Brother Lin eat?" Chen Cheng stood up to smooth things over.
On the surface, he was joking, but in fact, he was afraid that his niece's enthusiasm would scare Lin Ran. After all, this girl returned from studying abroad and did not understand the reserved character of the Chinese people.
Only then did Chen Shuming realize that she was too rude. He stuck out his tongue and sat down next to Lin Ran, just like a little fan girl, well-behaved and sensible.
After they took their seats, lunch at Chen Cheng's house officially began.
Sure enough, as Yang Jianlong said, his chef's skills are excellent, and what's even more valuable is his ingredients.
Ostrich eggs, lobster, wine...
These are rare foods nowadays, so in order to entertain Lin Ran, he brought out all of them.
This is truly a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine, using the skills of a palace chef to cook foreign dishes.
Chen Shuming, who was sitting next to Lin Ran, was drinking wine from a goblet, showing an aristocratic temperament.
She took a sip of wine and asked: "Brother Lin Ran, can you tell me how you saw the Tang Sancai sample?"
This matter has spread inside the museum. Even Cai Yan, who always looks at people through his nostrils, has a look of regret when he mentions Lin Ran.
It piqued her interest even more.
Lin Ran waved his hand and said, "It's just luck."
"Luck? Everything in the world can be attributed to luck. Since everyone had a good time drinking today, Brother Lin might as well share the story of luck with us?" Chen Cheng became more talkative after drinking.
Previously, he had only heard this story from Yang Jianlong.
However, Yang Jianlong's expressive ability was so poor that he was completely confused.
Lin Ran is here today, so of course he wants to hear the opinions of the parties involved.
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Lin Ran couldn't bear to let down the fun, so he started talking about the evasiveness in Wei Chengbin's words to Cai Yan, and continued until he and Wei Chengbin went to the museum to redeem the fakes.
Of course, their agreement was hidden.
Lin Ran's language skills were obviously much better than Yang Jianlong's. Everyone saw a picture of Lin Ran observing the internal structure of Tang Sancai through fragments.
Chen Shuming praised: "Brother Lin Ran, you are really amazing!"
"That's not true. When the solution was poured down, everyone was frightened by the godfather. I was the only one who always trusted him!" Yang Jianlong also interjected, adding to the atmosphere at that time.
However, no one paid attention to him.
Yang Jianlong could only smile awkwardly, then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, pretending that nothing happened.
Because Lin Ran helped their family avoid a big loss in business, Chen Cheng and his family regarded Lin Ran as a guest, and all the topics revolved around Lin Ran.
They were chatting happily, and Chen Shuming suddenly asked: "By the way, why did you think of taking the literary and entertainment route?"
For example, she entered the Palace Museum to study because her uncle was in a related industry and had been exposed to it since childhood.
"My father was sick, and my family couldn't afford medical treatment, so I thought of buying some cultural relics and selling them to others to make money," Lin Ran said calmly.
"very impressive!"
Chen Shuming nodded solemnly. She thought that people who entered this industry were from well-off families. Unexpectedly, Lin Ran was able to solve her family's difficulties by starting from scratch.
As a peer, my admiration for Lin Ran surged in my heart instantly!
