As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Zhou family was shocked.

In fact, the so-called baby kiss was just something Zhou Rantian joked about at the time, and the situation is different now. Zhou Rantian's eldest son has passed away, and his granddaughter will be the mainstay of the family business in the future. For Zhou Rantian, the issue of choosing his grandson's son-in-law is very important.

It's a huge thing.

"What are you talking nonsense about? I don't want to get engaged to you." Zhou Xueer said angrily with her hands on her hips.

"Grandpa Zhou, I really like Xue'er. I swear that I will treat her well, so just promise me." Luneng said seriously.

Zhou Rantian is in a dilemma. After all, he is the grandson of his old friend, and judging from the current situation, Luneng is still very good.

"If I want to get engaged, I'll also make an appointment with my boyfriend." Zhou Xueer's mind twitched and she said in a loud voice.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Rantian and Zhou Linlin were stunned again.

"Xue'er, when did you get a boyfriend? Didn't grandpa tell you not to get a boyfriend easily?" Zhou Rantian was anxious. He was just such a precious granddaughter. She would need to inherit such a huge family property in the future. How could she do that?

I'm just looking for a boyfriend.

"I...I...my boyfriend is him." Zhou Xueer pointed at Lin Bufan and said with a blushing face.

Zhou Rantian and Zhou Linlin were bombarded again.

It turned out to be Mr. Lin...

Zhou Rantian suddenly smiled knowingly. Although Luneng was an outstanding young man, compared with Lin Bufan, he was still far behind. Lin Bufan had a temperament that lasted forever. Zhou Rantian had lived for so long, but he still had no

I have seen such young people before.

"Grandpa Zhou, you have to make the decision for me. How can Xueer just pick up anyone and become her boyfriend? How can I be inferior to this little guy?" In Luneng's eyes, Lin Bufan was just a brat.

Zhou Rantian frowned unhappily after hearing this, "Let's talk about the engagement later. Since we're all here, let's have dinner together first."

Luneng was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Zhou Rantian would remain silent as Zhou Xueer's boyfriend.

Dinner will be served soon.

After everyone was seated, Zhou Rantian and Zhou Linlin were very polite to Lin Bufan during the dinner. They even reached a state of humility, which puzzled Luneng.

"My name is Luneng, what's your name?"

"Lin Bufan."

"Lin Bufan, what does your family do?"

"Do some small business." Lin Bufan was minding his own food without even looking at Luneng.

"Do you know what the last sentence is about a tree asking for its bark?"

People need face, and trees need bark. Luneng is insinuating that Lin Bufan needs to know face as a man, and don't try to climb high.

"Then do you know why the villains in TV dramas are always killed by the protagonists?" Lin Bufan joked.

Luneng really didn't know, "Because the protagonist has the aura of the protagonist."

"No, because every time the villain always taunts the protagonist at critical moments, he is eventually killed by the protagonist. In a nutshell, he dies from talking too much and dies from being mean-mouthed."

Luneng was attacked as if he had eaten a dead mouse.

"Pfft" Zhou Xueer covered her mouth and laughed.

"You are really sharp-tongued." Luneng gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Each other."

"By the way, Grandpa Zhou, my grandpa asked me to ask you how the matter in Ethiopia was handled." Luneng couldn't resist Lin Bufan and turned to Zhou Rantian.

The gold mine in Ethiopia is a project jointly developed by Zhou Rantian and Luneng's grandfather Lu Taishan, with Zhou Rantian as the principal and Lu Taishan as the assistant. If the gold mine is successfully developed, Lu Taishan will hold 20% of the shares.

"This..." Zhou Rantian glanced at Lin Bufan and felt very embarrassed.

"Grandpa Zhou, my grandfather said that once things are implemented, the company's professionals will be dispatched to Ethiopia immediately. In the future, this gold mine will bring a steady stream of benefits to our two families." As he spoke,

Luneng looked at Lin Bufan disdainfully.

Boy, do you think you can join the Zhou family just because you can speak? The Zhou family is a big family. How can you compete with me if you have no family to rely on?

Xue'er is still young now. In a few years, she will know that if she wants to marry, she will marry a well-matched man.

Just when Zhou Rantian was undecided, Butler Qin came over, lowered his head and said to Zhou Rantian: "Sir, the international long-distance call to Ethiopia."

Zhou Rantian got up and walked to the living room to answer the phone.

On the other end of the phone was Li Tiancheng, the president of the Ethiopian Summer Business Association. Li Tiancheng has lived in Ethiopia for more than 20 years and has connections in every corner of Ethiopia.

This time it was also the gold mine that Li Tiancheng helped Zhou Rantian connect with.

"Old Zhou, something happened..."

Li Tiancheng told Zhou Rantian on the phone that just an hour ago, turmoil occurred in Ethiopia, the political situation suddenly changed, and the situation was dark and unclear. He advised Zhou Rantian to stop the gold mine project immediately. He also said that he would lead the team the next day.

Returning to China with the whole family.

Zhou Rantian's head buzzed after hearing this.

"Old Zhou, I know that you invested a lot of money in the early stage to open the road, but the money was wasted, but this kind of thing is destiny, and human power cannot be calculated. Let's wait until the political situation stabilizes in the future." Li Tiancheng comforted Zhou Rantian.

.

"Well, thank you for telling me this. If the gold mine really opens, the losses will be even greater."

"Yes! It's better to come back to the motherland and get together."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Rantian found that his back was wet. He stared blankly at Lin Bufan who was eating. He thought to himself: Mr. Lin, where did you come from? You actually have the power of fortune-telling.

Zhou Rantian is also a good person, and he knows that Zhou Xueer is using Lin Bufan as a shield.

It would be great if Mr. Lin was really Xueer's boyfriend.

Yes, I want to bring them together.

After returning to his seat, Luneng was still talking about the future development of the gold mine, and he was frothing. He just wanted Lin Bufan to know that there is an insurmountable gap in things like family status.

"Grandpa Zhou, when Xueer goes to college next year, I want to take her to Ethiopia to have fun and see our gold mine."

Zhou Rantian's face was ashen and he said: "Don't mention the gold mine project in the future. I don't plan to do it anymore. You should go back and tell your grandfather."

Luneng was dumbfounded, "Why?"

"Ask your grandpa to call me and tell me about the specific matter." Zhou Rantian stood up and politely said to Lin Bufan, "Mr. Lin, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

"Mr. Lin?" Luneng was dumbfounded. This kid was just a high school student. Why did Grandpa Zhou call him Mr. Lin?

Lin Bufan followed Zhou Rantian to the study room on the second floor.

"It seems you already know the situation in Ethiopia?"

"Mr. Lin is really good at knowing things. I, Mr. Zhou, am really impressed." After saying this, Zhou Rantian bowed.

"Mr. Zhou is being polite, it's just a matter of words."

"What you say is a secret."

"Hahaha, right?" Lin Bufan smiled, "The secret must not be leaked, and I won't be able to talk too much from now on."

After the two chatted for a while, Zhou Rantian changed the topic and said: "My granddaughter is stupid by nature. It is her good fortune that she can go to the same school as Mr. Lin. I hope you can give me more advice in the future about my incompetent granddaughter."

Lin Bufan smiled slyly. Pointing to the ancient cigars on the coffee table, Zhou Rantian immediately cut a cigar and lit it for Lin Bufan.

Lin Bufan took a sip and said with a smile: "You want to bring me and your granddaughter together, right?"

He said it to the point.

Zhou Rantian chuckled and said, "If this is possible, it would be best."

"In this world, love is the only word that is difficult to describe. Mr. Zhou, your current wealth is enough to feed your children and grandchildren for several lifetimes, so why bother to win over a useless person like me? Zhou Xueer will have someone she likes in the future, and she wants to marry her.

Marry whoever you want. In this life, living comfortably is the most important thing. Don't be too eager for quick success, what do you think?" Lin Bufan said softly.

These words seemed to be spoken by a man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. They were actually not suitable for Lin Bufan's age, but he was so sincere when he said these words.

Zhou Rantian felt ashamed. He only wanted to win over Lin Bufan, but he forgot the most important point. Whether his granddaughter could be happy or not, did she really want to marry Lin Bufan.

"I've learned a lesson!" Zhou Rantian bowed his hands.

"You're just talking nonsense. I hope Mr. Zhou won't be angry."

After Lin Bufan and Zhou Rantian went downstairs, they found that Luneng had left.

"Luneng has gone back?" Zhou Rantian asked Zhou Linlin.

"Well, I guess he rushed back to talk to his grandfather about the gold mine." Zhou Linlin looked at Lin Bufan with admiration and said, "Mr. Lin, you are really a god."

"Come on, I don't want to become a god. A god can accidentally become a magician or a lunatic. I'd better be an ordinary person."

"Hahaha..." Everyone was amused by Lin Bufan.

After drinking and eating, Lin Bufan was about to leave, and Zhou Rantian asked Zhou Xueer to see him off.

Lin Bufan pushed his motorcycle and walked side by side with Zhou Xueer.

"Hey, Lin Bufan, I have a doubt in my mind."

"explain!"
