A Lan was receiving Han Yuan and Lin Tian in a luxurious villa at Green Wild Manor.

In the main hall of the villa, there was a Chinese mahogany screen that divided the space into two functional areas: a lounge area and a dining area.

In the dining area, there was a large round dining table with a very thin LCD TV hanging on the wall. On the side, there was a special small dining room, and in the end, there was a washroom.

"Let's eat some fruits before dinner and have a cup of tea —" A-Lan gestured Han Yuan and Lin Tian to sit at the tea table.

There was a large plate of fresh fruits on the tea table. Next to it was a box of excellent Da Hong Pao.

A Lan personally gave Lin Tian and Han Yuan a few lychee sticks and then started to make tea.

Han Yuan was slightly intoxicated by her skilled tea making skills.

If this woman could do it, she would do everything so beautifully! Even the brewing of tea had become so beautiful and charming in Lan's hands.

Her slender, jade-like hands flowed like the clouds between the pot and cup. The pot was filled with rain, the water was low, and the tea was soon filled with the fragrance of the tea in the room.

"Come, have some tea please —" A Lan placed the completed Da Hong Pao onto the table in front of Han Yuan and Lin Tian.

Lin Tian picked up the teacup and took a sniff. She could not help but say, "Those of me who don't understand tea are all intoxicated by the aroma of the tea —"

"This is the top-grade Da Hong Pao that I collected last year. The precious tea leaves are my most respected guests." Ah Lan said with a smile. "Big Brother Han, Reporter Lin, your products are —"

Han Yuan picked up the cup with both hands and sniffed it, then gently took a sip. As expected, the taste of the wine lingered on his lips and teeth.

"Good tea!" Han Yuan nodded. "I've drunk a lot of top-grade Da Hong Pao. You're the one who got the best tea!"

"Hehe, I only got it by chance, like a treasure. Normally, a person wouldn't be willing to take it out to drink. Only when their best friend came, would they be able to taste it and share it with each other — "Lan said happily.

Han Yuan understood tea, so she was very happy to give such a high evaluation!

Although Lin Tian did not understand, but after she drank the tea, she felt extremely good.

After chatting for a while, the dishes started to arrive.

The moment the first dish was served, Han Yuan was shocked.

This was a famous dish in Hai Prefecture and also the most expensive dish in the cuisine department.

In this gold-plated ceramic stew, there were dozens of ingredients simmering in one pot, both sharing the smell of meat and maintaining their own characteristics. It tastes soft and tender, rich and fragrant, yet not greasy; it is permeable and flavorful to each other. At the same time, it has extremely high nutritional value and has the functions of nourishing qi and blood, clearing the lung and moistening the intestines, preventing and controlling virtual cold and so on.

There were also radishes in a straw cape, oil mustard spicy, ham with bean sprout heart, stir-fried bean sprouts in mushrooms, and then served with silver rolls and sesame seed cakes. It was simply wondrous and tasty.

Han Yuan looked at A Lan and smiled. "With Director Lan behaving so graciously, Lin Tian, you have to write your story in great detail."

"Hehe, Big Brother Han, don't worry. I will do my best to write a wonderful story about Director Lan's business venture —" Lin Tian said with a smile.

A Lan drank a mouthful of soup, looked at Han Yuan and Lin Tian, and said, "Big Brother Han, Journalist Lin, I won't hide it from you guys. No one has ever written a story about my business. This is the first time —"

"Then we must write better. We must not disappoint Director Lan's' first time '. We must set this tone properly —" Han Yuan laughed.

"The previous few times when I was recommended to join the city, I politely declined. This is the third time, I'm too embarrassed to refuse again, otherwise it would seem that I'm too naive — "Ah Lan laughed," I personally don't like advertising, so I've always been quietly doing my own thing. "I should say that I was very lucky, that I met many good people along the way, and that they gave me a lot of help, that's why I walked step by step until today —"

A'Lan said humbly.

Han Yuan was a little confused. Then did he want to do a close-up or do he want to touch upon the matter?

Lin Tian also looked at her in confusion.

A'Lan smiled and continued, "That's why I'm asking Sister Lin Tian to set the tone for me. I can't raise my rank, I can't be vulgar, I have to be truthful, and I have to write well. I believe you can write well!"

Hearing A Lan's words, Lin Tian really felt like she couldn't find the north.

Writing this sort of award materials usually had to be done properly. Otherwise, if the matter was too ordinary, it wouldn't be enough to move the judges.

If one wanted to write it truthfully and brilliantly, it would be a test.

Han Yuan laughed as well. "Director Lan's request is indeed extraordinary. Lin Tian, it's time for you to accept the challenge!"

Lin Tian nodded, "I will do my best, but I'm not sure if I can satisfy Director Lan."

"Definitely, I believe you —" A Lan raised his glass and smiled. "Come, let me first thank Big Brother Han and Reporter Lin for their support —"

With that, A Lan raised his glass and toasted Han Yuan and Lin Tian.

The three of them chatted as they drank. The atmosphere was lively.

Han Yuan wanted to hear A Lan's story personally, but A Lan and Lin Tian were always talking about what women liked to talk about, not talking about her story at all.

This made Han Yuan very curious.

Since he was writing a business story, why wasn't he involved at all?

Halfway through their meal, a woman who was a few years younger than A Lan came in. She respectfully nodded at Han Yuan and Lin Tian, "Department Head Han, how do you do, Mr. Lin? "I'm Director Lan's assistant, my surname is Xu. You can call me Little Xu —"

"Oh, Hello, Assistant Xu!" Han Yuan quickly stood up and shook her hand.

Lin Tian also stood up to shake hands with her.

"Xulan, you came at the right time. We'll eat together —" A Lan said. "Accompany Minister Han and Reporter Lin for a few drinks. We'll see how you behave from now on!"

Xu Lan was very capable, wearing a black professional dress, with her hair tied up, and a confident smile on her face.

Han Yuan thought of this very quickly.

From a glance, it was obvious that this Xu Lan was a very capable woman.

As expected, Han Yuan was soon unable to resist as she continued to toast him. Lin Tian blushed and could not drink anymore.

An hour later, seeing that he was almost done eating, A Lan said to Xu Lan, "Xu Lan, I'll leave the rest to you. Talk to Reporter Lin properly, give him the materials we prepared, and whatever you need to add, cooperate fully with Reporter Lin."

With that, A Lan looked at Lin Tian and said, "Reporter Lin, if we talk too late tonight, you can stay here. There is a guest room upstairs. "If there's anything you need, tell Xu Lan. Tell her to arrange —"

Lin Tian nodded her head. If she had to rush this material, she would have to finish writing it tomorrow and let Director Lan take a look personally. She would have to stay here tonight.

"Big Brother Han, what are you going to do?" A Lan asked Han Yuan.

Han Yuan drank until his cheeks were hot. Although he was not drunk, he was already feeling a little dizzy.

"I'm fine, I'll go to the Manor first. I can't let down such a beautiful scenery. I'll drive myself back later —" Han Yuan said.

"Alright, I'll go with you. I'll be your tour guide!" Ah Lan laughed.

"You are very familiar with this place!" Do you come often? " Han Yuan asked as he walked.

A'Lan smiled, but said nothing.

The two of them went outside and walked along the long green corridor of the villa.

The top shelf of the long corridor was covered with vines. It was the middle of summer, and the vines were verdant and verdant. Some small yellow flowers were scattered on them, making them look very beautiful.

Walking down the long corridor, the fragrance of the flowers permeated the air. There was a cool breeze blowing, and the atmosphere was extremely comfortable.

At this time, the heat wave in Haizhou City struck, yet the villa was so cool and pleasant. It was truly a great place to take a vacation.

Occasionally, a few people would walk past, some friends were playing around, and some couples were whispering.

Han Yuan looked enviously at the couple that were hugging each other. He had once felt this happy as well.

"Big Brother Han, it's summer vacation. If you have time, bring your child and wife to vacation. I'll arrange something for you," Lan said.

Han Yuan smiled bitterly. A family holiday? This normal occurrence of someone else's might just be a dream for him!

However, he thought it was strange when A Lan said she would arrange something for him. Could it be that this villa was hers as well?

"Is this also your business?" Han Yuan asked curiously.

Lan smiled. "I'm half a boss."

"Hehe, no wonder —" Han Yuan laughed. "I was wondering why you didn't invite us here from Lijing, and instead wanted to come here from afar."

You don't get bored eating in Lijing all the time!" "Li Jing is mine, and I worked with a friend to develop this place. Greenfield Villa has been developed for 15 years, and there was a lot of investment in the early stage, I invested it three years ago, and at that time, something went wrong with Greenfield's CEO Xu's capital, he urgently needed help, my friend asked for an investment, which was considered a rescue, and also a multi-element experiment. After investigating, I decided to look at the market, and did not hesitate to invest —

"How much business do you actually have?" Han Yuan couldn't help but ask.

He felt that the girl in front of him was a mystery. He had seen her many times, but he didn't know anything about her.

"Hehe, you want to know?" A Lan tilted his head as he looked at Han Yuan, a rare mischievous look on his face.

Han Yuan nodded. "Yes —"

"Hehe." Ah Lan lifted his head to look at the waning moon. "It's getting late. You should go home. My wife and children are waiting for you, right?"

Recalling the wedding photo and the photo of the child he had seen at Han Yuan's house that night, A Lan was sure that Han Yuan had a happy home, and that he was a loving and doting man. As Han Yuan's wife, she should be very happy.

A Lan's words stabbed at the sore spot in Han Yuan's heart. He couldn't help but look up at the waning moon. "Hehe, no one's waiting for me —"

When A Lan heard this, he looked at Han Yuan in shock. Had he also encountered a family accident?

"Big Brother Han, your wife and children aren't back yet?" A'Lan asked tentatively.

Han Yuan was stunned for a moment. How did A Lan know that Gu Yan and her child had gone out?

"He went to his grandmother's house in Nancheng," Han Yuan said with a sigh.

"Oh — —" Ah Lan nodded. Last time, Han Yuan's wife and children were also absent, did they also go to his maternal grandma's house?

"Then you're free for the time being." Ah Lan laughed.

"Yes, he's alone —" Han Yuan said mournfully. Even if Gu Yan and her child were home, he was pretty much alone.

"Shall I ask you to have another drink?" Ah Lan laughed.

"I'm a rookie so it's not bad for me to drink alcohol," Han Yuan also laughed.

"Hehe, alright, let's drink some water then," Lan said happily. "Come with me!"
