141: Going home for Chinese New Year!

January 10th.

It had been two days since the Laba Festival.

Over these past two days, Wang Ran had already started her winter break and was staying at Wang Lin's place, eating well and having fun, happy as a little princess.

She was lounging comfortably on the sofa playing 'Tian Tian Ku Pao'. This newly launched mobile game had attracted a large number of players with its simple gameplay, diverse modes, and social leaderboard features.

Wang Ran was naturally one of them.

She was currently using the 'Super Boy' character, which required 1,088 diamonds to purchase, while the bicycle was a gift from an event.

This item, which many elementary school students considered their 'white moonlight' and dreamed of obtaining, was now being played skillfully by Wang Ran.

At this time, Wang Lin had already delegated most of the company's affairs.

Qian Shan, the head steward, was holding down the fort at the company as usual.

For him, he was currently thoroughly enjoying the pleasures of working at the company.

This year, Lunar New Year's Eve fell on a Thursday, which meant he had to stay at the company until New Year's Eve.

But he didn't mind this at all; the company's current flourishing and prosperous scene was partly due to his own contributions.

It was like playing a simulation game, where Wang Lin was the strongest hero in the game.

And Qian Shan was the chess player maneuvering these heroes into battle.

Although the analogy wasn't quite perfect, that was indeed how Qian Shan thought about it.

Of course, Qian Shan held Wang Lin in high regard; this was the man who had given him immense room to maneuver and allowed his abilities to shine.

Now, Qian Shan was willing and eager to live and die with the company!

The other colleagues in the company also arranged their own shifts in groups.

Wang Lin didn't need to worry about these matters.

His task was to steer the general direction of the stock market.

Returning home, Wang Ran had been waiting for a long time; she was on a video call. "Brother, you're finally back!"

"Mom has been urging me for a long time!"

As she spoke, she aimed the camera at Wang Lin and said with a smile: "Mom, didn't you always miss my brother? Now you can see him!"

Looking at the phone screen held out to him, he saw a middle-aged woman with black hair, though there were some white strands at her temples.

Wang Lin felt a shock in his heart; his raw emotions almost broke through, and his eyes stung.

His parents had passed away early, and it could be said that Wang Lins paternal aunt had treated him like her own son.

"Grandma!" Wang Lin blurted out.

'Grandma' was what they called their paternal aunt here.

And 'Paternal Uncle' was the term for their paternal uncle.

Wang Lins paternal aunt listened to the voice from the phone and looked at the nephew she hadn't seen for a long time. She also felt a sting in her eyes and couldn't help but shed tears: "Linlin, I haven't seen you in such a long time, you've become much stronger!"

Wang Lin chuckled and scratched his head. This state of being left Li Yuanyuan beside him completely stunned.

She had never seen Wang Lin act so simple and honest.

This Brother Lin, who dominated the stock market and was incredibly overbearing, was now revealing the softest part of his heart.

Wang Lin said: "Grandma, you look a bit thin. I'm bringing a lot of supplements back home this time; you and my Paternal Uncle should eat more and take good care of yourselves!"

"How about you change to an easier job in the future? I have money now."

Wang Lins paternal aunt nodded happily: "Good, good, everything is good. You two hurry home."

"Your Paternal Uncle will be on break in a couple of days too, then you can all go to the market together."

Wang Lin just nodded happily.

Wang Lin didn't chat with Grandma for too long; his state of mind was still a bit unstable.

But after this phone call, Wang Lin's heart calmed down a lot.

It was like a wanderer drifting outside who had finally found the feeling of home.

Wang Lin made an impromptu decision: "Let's pack up simply and go back in a while!"

Returning this time, Wang Lin didn't bring anyone else.

There was only a Mercedes-Benz, with Wang Ran in the passenger seat, and the back seat and trunk full of goods.

There were some good cigarettes and alcohol, as well as some nutritional supplements and skincare products.

Come to think of it, Zheng County was only a stone's throw away from Xiangxiang City; once you crossed the Yellow River Bridge, you were almost home.

Yet, this hour-long drive was the hometown that Wang Lin had long been afraid to return to.

He didn't know how to face Grandma and Paternal Uncle alone.

In the car, Wang Ran was playing on her phone, unaware of Wang Lin's current psychological shift.

They were more than ten minutes away from home.

Wang Lin could already see wisps of white smoke drifting over the village.

That was the smoke coming from the factory chimneys.

In the past, seeing these chimneys meant they were basically home.

Now, Wang Lin seemed a bit excited.

They say that if you achieve wealth and don't return to your hometown, it's like walking in silk robes in the dark.

Now, driving this Mercedes-Benz worth over a million, Wang Lin felt a bit nervous; it seemed like the closer one gets to home, the more timid one feels.

For the village, a mercedes-benz s-class worth over a million was something everyone could never afford in their lifetime.

But it was the cheapest car in Wang Lin's garage.

Wang Ran also put away her phone at this moment: "Finally almost home. Brother, this car is so comfortable to ride in!"

Wang Ran looked at Wang Lin and suddenly wanted to laugh: "Brother, you aren't nervous, are you!!"

Wang Lin gave her a slap, lit a cigarette with one hand, took a deep puff, and then said slowly: "You little girl, you don't understand."

As soon as they entered the village entrance, this Mercedes-Benz with the three-pointed star logo attracted the attention of the villagers.

A luxury car worth a million, where would the village have seen such a good thing?

They just watched this car enter the village and drive toward a corner of the village.

"Is that a Mercedes? It's really good-looking!"

"Has someone in our village gotten rich? Or is it someone's relative?"

"Probably not. I see the license plate is still Yu A. It's impossible for relatives to come so early. It should be someone from the village coming back!"

"Look, it seems to have stopped at old Wang's door!"

"That's old Wang's daughter, right? It's her!"

"Is the person in the driver's seat the boyfriend she found?"

"No, that's not right. Why does that kid's face look so familiar?"

"It seems to be Wang Lin, the son of the second Wang family!"

"Isn't he in school? How could he be driving such a nice car?"

Several villagers discussed it, and those who knew the Wang family were even more shocked.

The old Wang family, have they made it big?

No matter how crazy or invincible Wang Lin's reputation in the stock market was, it wouldn't spread to his hometown, and certainly not to the village.

After all, in this era, the people in their village probably didn't even understand what stocks were.

Everyone just worked in the village factories, talked about how much money they made from their fields this year, and how much the purchase price of wheat had risen.

Young people might talk about Taobao or LeTV's super TVs, and that was about it.

As for the stocks behind them, the rises and falls, those were simply not things from the same world.

But during this New Year period, a Mercedes-Benz worth a million drove into the village, causing ripples in this peaceful village.
