They all want to control me!

How many people were on the date in Chapter 14?

Saturday was my date with Tao Zhiyao.

Lin Ran was washing up in the bathroom when she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She opened the door with her toothbrush in her mouth.

Standing outside the door was a simply dressed, smiling middle-aged woman.

"Good morning, Mr. Lin."

"...Wait three seconds."

Lin Ran ran back to the bathroom, quickly brushed her teeth, spat out the foam in her mouth, and returned to the door.

"Did she need something from me?"

"Qiaoqiao ordered two sets of clothes for you and asked me to bring them to you." Aunt Zhao handed Lin Ran a low-key beige handbag.

"Oh, thank you." Lin Ran opened the handbag and glanced inside. It was a very well-known luxury brand.

I heard that the base price for this luxury brand's custom-made clothing is over five figures.

Qiaozi, you're really willing to spend money.

"Mr. Lin Ran, if I may ask, did Qiaoqiao call you last night?" Aunt Zhao asked.

"I did." Lin Ran nodded. "I've been learning guitar recently, and I asked her for some advice."

"That's right." Aunt Zhao smiled. "Qiaoqiao was unusually lazy in bed this morning. When I went to call her for breakfast, she was still talking in her sleep."

Last night I wished her sweet dreams, and she actually had a wonderful dream! Since my words have been blessed, I wish I would become a billionaire in the next second.

Lin Ran muttered to himself, but smiled outwardly:

"Good thing."

After seeing Aunt Zhao off, Lin Ran tried on the clothes that Jiang Qiaoqiao had made for her.

There are two sets: one is a British-style suit; the other is casual wear, which suits Lin Ran's figure and temperament.

Who would have thought that Jiang Qiaoqiao was actually a hidden fashion stylist?

Lin Ran put on a suit and looked at himself in the mirror. The double-breasted suit was paired with a dark tie and pocket square. The hem of the suit covered his hips, and the thick shoulder pads shaped his shoulder line, highlighting his tall and strong appearance.

If he was a young college student before, he now looks like a young master from a noble family; it's true that clothes make the man.

There was also a small note in my pocket.

"Qiaoqiao's friendly tip: British suits have a custom of rolling up the cuffs of the trousers. It was said that a nobleman was watching a horse race when it rained, and he rolled up his trousers to avoid getting his suit dirty. I don't know how it became a trend afterward—I don't understand foreigners' thought processes. By the way, the jacket of this suit covers the buttocks. I heard that it helps maintain a gentlemanly image, which is very British, hmm."

Lin Ran took off his suit jacket, changed into his casual clothes, sat on the sofa, and called Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Hey, did you receive the clothes?"

"Received it. What kind of trick are you playing?"

"These are the clothes I prepared for your date. You at least called me 'sister,' so I reluctantly accepted you as my godbrother. I'd be embarrassed if you went out in that shabby outfit. Wear the casual clothes casually, and save the formal attire for formal occasions. Also, formal attire needs maintenance, so please take care of it."

Along with Jiang Qiaoqiao's voice, one could also hear her heavy breathing over the phone.

Lin Ran found it strange: "What are you doing? Your voice sounds weird."

"Hand-wash" (a type of hand gesture)

"???" Lin Ran said, "6, which movie did you watch? Send me the link, or the novel is fine too, it's more immersive, but I prefer watching videos."

"Get lost~" Jiang Qiaoqiao's laughing and scolding voice came from the phone. "I was just joking, and you took it seriously. I... Anyway, don't worry about what I'm doing, it's not a bad thing."

"How much does this outfit cost?"

"Money? I don't care about that... Well, okay, knowing your personality, if you don't get it now, you'll definitely keep asking later. Those two outfits cost 190,000 yuan in total, so you don't need to feel burdened. My monthly living expenses are several hundred thousand yuan, so I don't need that little bit."

"You care about me too much," Lin Ran said helplessly.

He initially wanted to transfer the money for the clothes to Jiang Qiaoqiao, but after hearing the price, he gave up the idea, as he simply couldn't afford that much money now.

On the other side, Jiang Qiaoqiao concealed her true purpose—ostensibly helping Lin Ran win over Tao Zhiyao, but actually observing the recovery progress of her legs, pretending to be indifferent and saying:

"It's not that I care about you, it's that you don't care about yourself enough. Everyone knows you need to dress up carefully before a date."

"Oh, I, this little fool, have some news for you now."

"What news?"

"This morning, Tao Zhiyao messaged me saying that her roommate insisted on dragging her to go shopping at the mall, and the buffet dinner was changed to the afternoon."

Lin Ran went to bed early yesterday and didn't see Tao Zhiyao's message in the early morning. When she saw it when she woke up this morning, it was too late to change or control her body's timing.

That's right, the time to control your body today is in the afternoon.

"Wait, let me sort this out. I didn't control your body this morning, which means I might have controlled it this afternoon. And this afternoon you're going on a date with Tao Zhiyao, saying I'll help you with the date?"

"That's right, Qiaozi, you're really smart." Lin Ran was also helpless about how things had turned out this way.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

"..."

Jiang Qiaoqiao had prepared so many strategies for Lin Ran, teaching him techniques and taking great care in dressing up, but she never expected that he would have to do the dating himself.

Is this you dating or me?

thump!

Suddenly, a sound of someone falling was heard over the phone.

"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?" came a worried and flustered female voice.

"Aunt Zhao, I'm fine, don't come over yet... Lin... I've run into a little trouble here, I'll hang up now... beep beep—"

The phone went busy.

Lin Ran guessed that Jiang Qiaoqiao was afraid that Aunt Zhao would overhear the two talking on the phone and misunderstand their relationship.

After all, Aunt Zhao wanted to buy him to be Jiang Qiaoqiao's male concubine, which already showed a slight misunderstanding in her understanding.

It can only be said that charismatic people are welcomed wherever they go.

[Teamwork +1]

?

Because I guessed Jiang Qiaoqiao's thoughts, I increased our tacit understanding level? That's so beaver-like.

Lin Ran went to the bathroom to continue washing up.

After showering, while waiting for her hair to dry, Lin Ran pushed the coffee table forward, placed the stand and her phone on it, and adjusted the camera position to point it at herself.

Two days ago, Wang Jiahao experienced a family crisis, which made him start thinking about how to improve his ability to cope with risks, which is to make money.

Clinical medicine takes five years for an undergraduate degree, three years for a master's degree, and three years for residency training. Roughly speaking, it takes ten years to reach a certain level, and you have to be almost thirty to make money.

To persuade someone to study medicine is to be struck by lightning; to persuade someone to study law is to be torn to pieces—and the value of such advice is still increasing.

Jiang Qiaoqiao must have been out of her mind to choose to study clinical medicine. My family isn't well-off; what's the point of studying medicine?

The more Lin Ran thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

You must have a backup plan.

Lin Ran didn't have many cards to play; his most valuable assets were the system and his memories from his past life.

If I had awakened my past life memories ten years earlier, I might have been able to catch the wave of internet development, since the general direction of technological development in both worlds was the same.

Unfortunately, this memory only came to light after I got into university.

Since the technology sector wasn't viable, the only option left was to try the entertainment industry.

The two worlds are similar yet different. Some popular celebrities, such as Kun Ge, Furong Wang, and Litang Boy... Hiss, the immortals are everywhere.

Some singers and famous cultural and entertainment works are no longer around, but with the blessing of the [Talent - Photographic Memory], past life memories are a precious treasure.

Of course, Lin Ran didn't have much confidence; he was just giving it a try.

Whether something is feasible or not, you have to try it to know. If you don't even have the courage to take the first step, you won't accomplish anything.

When the recording mode is activated, the camera is pointed at Lin Ran's guitar and lower body, without showing his face.

He tried playing a popular love song from his past life.

Rumor has it that couples shouldn't sing this song at karaoke, or they'll break up—"Coral Sea," a duet by Jay Chou and Lara Liang, composed by Vincent Fang.
