Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 342 Four Hundred Yuan, Neither Too Much Nor Too Little
The whole family has been planning this for Yan Li for a long time.

By paying attention to every detail, the goal was to ensure the stability of the relationship with Lin Lang.

According to the locals, once you get married, as long as you don't make any fundamental mistakes, you're unlikely to get divorced.

There are also some details about getting along and some necessary procedures and steps.

Childbirth is a very important part of this process.

Even though Yan Li didn't really want to have a child at this time.

Unbeknownst to her, Yan Li discovered that her life was once again being controlled by her parents.

She did regret taking the birth control pill, but doing it herself and being arranged by someone else are two different things.

At Tianjin Capital, she has a say. While Lin Lang is indeed in charge of the operations, he doesn't see himself as dispensable. He also has a lot of control over the business.

But when it comes to the parents, the situation changes completely.

Undeniably, the parents' considerations are very reasonable, but they simply treat themselves as mere tools.

Once you enter their field, you become an execution tool, telling them what to do, what you should do, and how you must do it.

They felt it was perfectly reasonable for them to be a tool, because Lin Lang was strong enough.

Lin Lang didn't even treat her as a tool.

Yan Li really enjoys being with Lin Lang; Lin Lang never diminishes his role.

And what about parents? In a matter, if you are not the one who contributes the most, you are worthless in their eyes.

My parents' idea was that I just needed to be a tool, and they didn't need me to do anything else.

Although most people wouldn't be able to be this kind of tool, Yan Li has always hated this feeling since she was a child.

However, she did not resist in this matter, since her parents' wishes were consistent with her own needs.

The car arrived at its destination shortly afterward.

Lin Lang's house is not located on the main road of the rural road. Overall, the surrounding area is spacious and there are many places suitable for parking.

Even though it was only a little past nine o'clock, the place was still packed with people.

After Yan Li and his family stopped their car, Lin Lang led his parents over.

As the car door opened, Lin Lang pulled Yan Li out of the car, followed by Yan Keming and Chen Lin.

"Uncle Yan, Auntie, you must be tired from your journey."

Lin Lang took the initiative to greet him.

Yan Keming said with a smile, "It's no problem at all, it's such a short distance."

As they were talking, Yan Keming approached Lin Yuliang. Lin Lang introduced them, "Let me introduce you. This is my father, Lin Yuliang, and this is Lili's father, Yan Keming..."

When the two families officially met, many people gathered around to watch.

Many people stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Yan Li is so famous that even though ordinary people rarely pay attention to her, after a few days of news, Lin Lang's relatives have basically figured it out.

Yan Li is not only a super internet celebrity, but also the founder of Tianjin Capital, which is now the most popular fund company in China, bar none.

With assets under management exceeding 100 billion yuan, Yan Li rose to the top of the Forbes Young Persons List in just one month, amassing a net worth of several billion yuan.

Normal people simply don't have the opportunity to meet people of this caliber.

Let alone billions, even tens of millions would make someone an absolute millionaire in any part of the county.

Many of them may still not know what Tianjin Capital does or what a fund is, but they can measure a matter by the amount of money involved.

"Is that Yan Li? She's so beautiful and rich too."

“Yan Li isn’t considered rich. My son says that Yan Li’s father is the richest. He runs an investment company and is worth hundreds of billions.”

"Isn't that similar to Jack Ma?"

"Old Man Yan Li must have met Jack Ma."

"Tsk tsk, how come this family is so amazing?"

"Langlang is not bad either. Now that both sets of parents have met, the wedding is probably just around the corner."

He Qiang, who was standing to the side, did not say anything, after all, these people were Lin Lang's relatives.

In He Qiang's opinion, Yan Keming was nothing but bullshit; he was no match for Lin Lang.

He knows those rich people all too well. Rich people aren't born with good personalities; it mainly depends on whether there's a vested interest involved.

If Lin Lang hadn't been so incredibly capable, would Yan Keming have had such a good personality? Even if Yan Li were a hopeless romantic and had taken a liking to Lin Lang, Yan Keming wouldn't have made a special trip to meet Lin Lang's parents.

Even if Lin Lang goes to see them, they might not give him a chance.

I am one too!

If he hadn't followed Lin Lang and helped everyone make money, would those investors at Xincheng Capital have let him off the hook? He had lost 100 million yuan investing in Tianshui duck industry.

If Lin Lang hadn't tailored a plan specifically for him in his career, would those banks be desperately trying to lend him money now? Would he have become such a sought-after tycoon in the city?

It's impossible!

Before long, the Lin Lang and Yan Li families walked into the house.

Many of Lin Lang's relatives went over to join in the fun, hoping to exchange a few words with such an important figure and have something to talk about in the future.

He Qiang didn't go over to cause trouble, mainly because he wasn't interested in Yan Keming or Yan Li.

Outside, He Qiang hadn't waited long before he spotted a familiar license plate.

After the car stopped, Song Zhiyuan and a strange man walked over.

"Mr. He! You're here so early?"

Song Zhiyuan greeted He Qiang when he saw him.

"Leader Song is here too. I arrived last night and stayed at Brother Lin Lang's house for one night."

"What's going on? Why don't I see many people?"

Song Zhiyuan came to He Qiang's side and asked in a low voice.

"They're all inside; Yan Li and his family have arrived."

"Oh, I see. I'll go in and join the fun then."

……

Huang Yusheng and the others had arrived long ago, but their car was parked quite far away, and they hadn't gotten out yet.

"Was that person really Yan Keming?"

"Yes, that's right. I've met Yan Keming before..."

"Yan Keming seems too unpretentious. Even if Lin Lang is incredibly powerful, it's not like he should have to make a special trip for him, is it?"

There is no doubt that they have different views on this matter.

"The main reason is that Lin Lang is still young. We, at his age, haven't achieved this much! Lin Lang started from scratch, so it's normal for Yan Keming to pay more attention to him. But it's good that Yan Keming is here. I'll go over and say a few words to him, and Lin Lang will definitely give us face."

They came here today hoping to use the guise of giving gifts to communicate with Lin Lang and ask Tianjin Capital to help them get out of that predicament.

It would be even better if Lin Lang were willing to help them with their net asset value.

In any case, the money raised through public offerings belongs to the fund investors, and they can provide Lin Lang with other assistance in the future, thus exchanging benefits.

Given Tianjin Capital's size and popularity, manipulating the market would be incredibly easy. However, they weren't very confident, especially since they'd heard that Yan Li was also coming.

If it were just Lin Lang alone, that would be fine; it would be easy to discuss interests and such privately.

Therefore, after hearing that Yan Li was coming, they did not rush to get out of the car.

Yan Li and Lin Lang are both young people, and young people are very difficult to get along with.

But now that Yan Keming has arrived, things have suddenly become much simpler.

How should we talk?

"Just talk to Yan Keming face to face. Yan Keming's appearance basically means that he wants to dominate the marriage of the younger generation. He may even have a say in Tianjin Capital. It's the simplest way to cooperate with him. Young people are more impetuous and not easy to talk to."

"That's true. Lin Lang might have become arrogant because of his achievements, as can be seen from his family situation. With such an inflated ego, he doesn't want to talk about social etiquette with others at all."

"Exactly. I guess they don't realize that the more successful people are, the more they should stick together in order to protect their wealth and status. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the future, they'll have to start all over again."

"It's like heaven is helping us! This matter should be settled today, and Yan Keming will definitely be happy to make some exchanges with us."

"That's right. Although Yan Keming is doing well in Hangzhou and Shanghai, he hasn't acquired many core resources. No matter how bad our provincial capital is, it's still a new first-tier city, and many things there are still very valuable."

Core resources can be personal connections, such as being able to help secure some very profitable projects, or being informed of some project plans in advance.

It can also be a core asset that can generate stable profits, such as a shopping mall or hotel in a prime location.

These things are basically in the hands of big shots now. How can ordinary people get them?
Why should that big shot give it to them?

Even though Huang Yusheng and his team entered the provincial capital more than a decade ago, they didn't acquire many core resources. They only managed to build a network of connections in the provincial capital through various operations. These connections brought them considerable benefits every year, including numerous projects worth hundreds of millions of yuan.

"Huh? Was that Song Zhiyuan just now? I heard this guy has quite a background..."

"He must have connections, otherwise he wouldn't have reached this position in his thirties... I heard he used to work in a district of a first-tier city, and he was transferred to a county because he was too aggressive... Anyone else would have been gone long ago, but he was able to be transferred laterally, which is absolutely impossible without some kind of background."

"He used to live in a district of a first-tier city? He wasn't even thirty-five back then, was he?"

"More or less... Anyway, this guy is hard to get along with, so let's just not mess with him. We'll pay our share later and then find a chance to talk to Yan Keming and ask him to take the lead on this matter."

"no problem."

……

There were many guests coming and going in the morning, but after Song Zhiyuan arrived, the scene became quite different.

Lin Lang's parents also had to entertain other relatives and do some other chores, so they couldn't stay here the whole time.

Song Zhiyuan's arrival gave them a chance to leave temporarily.

Lin Lang had told his relatives in advance not to take photos indiscriminately, and that if they wanted to take a photo with Yan Li, they should arrange it themselves.

Before dinner, the timing was perfect, so I said to Yan Li, "I got you a business order today."

"what?"

"My relative wants to take some photos with you..."

"Okay, then you can introduce me to you later."

Lin Lang: "..."

Although he knew those relatives, he couldn't actually remember the names of most of them.

All I know is that some people are named Jun, some are named Na, some are named Hao, and some are named Bo...

Moreover, these nicknames are often different from their formal names.

He didn't know what to call his aunts and other female relatives, and he couldn't even tell whether to call the more distant ones his fourth aunt or his fifth uncle.

Anyway, they're relatives, so we're familiar with each other when we meet.

"I'll try my best to explain, but I'm not entirely sure myself."

Yan Li: "..."

Lin Lang immediately called people over to take a group photo, and even offered to take the photo for them.

There's only one condition: don't include him in the photos.

In the photo, Yan Li has a more innocent, girl-next-door vibe and less of the aura of a CEO.

Lin Lang also enjoys working with Yan Li, who is considered one of the most capable partners he has encountered so far.

This capability is multi-dimensional, ranging from management skills to financial skills.

Yan Li's management skills are in a class of their own, and his financial background is not bad either; it's just that his abilities are overshadowed by Tianjin Capital's current data.

If given a stable fund, she probably wouldn't be any worse than other fund managers.

About half an hour later, Lin Lang's cell phone rang.

Connected...

Upon hearing the voice on the phone, Lin Lang came to Yan Li's side and whispered something, which made Yan Li look slightly surprised.

"Alright, alright, that's enough filming for this morning. We can continue filming this afternoon if you want, but don't accidentally film me in any shots. There are too many fans around, it could put me in danger..."

After saying that, he pulled Yan Li outside.

A taxi stopped at the entrance, and Guan Sheng got out of the car.

Yan Li was surprised by Guan Sheng's arrival, as was Lin Lang.

This is just a trivial matter, and it's such a long distance away. Guan Sheng should theoretically still be at work today.

After Guan Sheng got out of the car, he saw the two of them, and it was hard not to sigh at how handsome they were.

"President Lin, President Yan, congratulations!"

"Leader Guan, you've come all this way, please come in..."

"It's alright, it's alright, you guys go ahead with your work, don't worry about me."

"That won't do. Let me take you inside first..."

"Let me put the money in the account first..."

"Isn't that unnecessary?"

"Haha, these are for Luo Ze; he couldn't get tickets."

……

Huang Yusheng and his group have already gone inside, but they left someone in the car to keep an eye on things.

When they discovered that Lin Lang and Yan Li had personally come out to pick up someone, although the two of them acted normally, the other person seemed to have a strong presence.

So he called Huang Yusheng.

"Brother Huang, Yan Li and Lin Lang just came out to pick up someone, but we don't know what's going on with them..."

"Go and see whoever comes, they'll definitely have to check the accounts. See how much they're depositing, and also their names..."

"Okay! I'll go take a look right away..."

……

“A guy named Luo Ze spent four hundred yuan.”

"That's fine then. Either they make a lot of money, or they make a little more like Song Zhiyuan, around two or four hundred yuan. They're not important people. I'll hang up now. Yan Keming has finished talking with Song Zhiyuan..."
