Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten-Chapter 214: Lin Zhengran Owns a Company?

Come to think of it, didn’t the System mention something about Premium Spirit Liquid before bed last night?

Now, sitting on the bed dazed, Han Wenwen noticed everyone staring at her in admiration. She touched her face. “Are you guys serious? I’m going to the bathroom to check!”

She slipped on her slippers and headed to the bathroom.

The moment she saw her reflection in the mirror, Han Wenwen was stunned.

Her beautiful, fox-like eyes widened in disbelief as she saw her own radiant complexion. She looked alert and full of life. Clutching her face, she gasped, “Whoa! Is this for real? What the heck?!”

She leaned closer to the mirror, examining herself from side to side—even her lips looked naturally flushed and enticing.

Jiang Xueli and He Qing followed her into the bathroom.

Little He Qing asked enviously, “Wenwen, what did you do last night? Or maybe these past few days? How can one night change you this much?”

Jiang Xueli was just as puzzled. “Yeah, seriously—how’d you pull this off? Can you teach us?”

Han Wenwen was thrilled, but honestly confused. “It’s not like I don’t want to tell you guys—I really don’t know what happened. My life’s been the same these days, except for...”

Little He Qing: “Except for?”

The little fox absentmindedly touched her lips, thinking back to yesterday afternoon. If she had to name something different she did, it would be... helping out Brother Zhengran with some stress relief at the hotel.

Could it really be that?

Han Wenwen had read a ton of novels, and in many of them, girls would show improved complexion and vitality after sleeping with someone they loved.

She always thought it was just nonsense. But now... was it actually true?

Staring into the mirror again, she thought, if this was real, then it beat all those masks and toners by a mile!

No—not just a mile. This was on a whole different level.

If this really worked, then wouldn’t chasing after Brother Zhengran every day for “that” be the ultimate beauty hack? Though it was just a guess... Han Wenwen was pretty sure she was right.

Jiang Xueli asked, “Wenwen? Did you remember something?”

Han Wenwen snapped out of it, laughed nervously, and waved her hands.

“No, no! I was just thinking back on what I did the past couple of days. But honestly, my routine hasn’t changed much. Maybe... I’ve just been going to bed earlier?”

He Qing blinked her innocent eyes. “Sleeping early does this? I haven’t gone to bed early in forever, but... can staying up late vs. sleeping early make this much of a difference?”

Han Wenwen shrugged it off. “I’m just guessing, who knows what’s really going on, hehe.”

Meanwhile, Lin Zhengran was sitting on the bed checking his phone. He had a message from Jiang Jingshi, asking when he’d be coming over.

He’d promised to visit the company today.

He sent back a quick reply, then hurried to sit up, pulling on his socks and jacket. The sooner he left, the sooner he could get it over with. “You three, I’ve got something to take care of today. Just relax for the next couple days and get ready for next week’s trip.”

The girls stepped out of the bathroom to look at him.

Han Wenwen asked curiously, “Lin Zhengran, you’re heading out?”

He Qing chimed in, “You’ve got something going on today?”

“Yeah, just some personal stuff. You don’t need to worry about it.” He didn’t bother explaining more—just washed his face and walked straight to the door.

The three girls quickly followed him to the room’s entrance to see him off.

As Lin Zhengran put on his shoes, he turned back and said, “No need to walk me out. I’m heading off now.”

Jiang Xueli thought to herself, He’s probably going to the company, right? He did mention it yesterday when they met. “Zhengran, are you coming back tonight?”

“I’ll probably stop by. I’ll call you once I’m done. But I’m guessing the three of you are still staying here tonight, right? So I’m not crashing here—it’s already crowded with four people in this bed. Alright, I’m out!”

He raised his hand as a casual goodbye.

Little He Qing, Jiang Xueli, and Han Wenwen all stared after Lin Zhengran’s departing figure.

He Qing whispered, “Me and Lily are both here—what’s he rushing off for? Could something be going on at home?”

Han Wenwen shook her head.

Jiang Xueli blurted out, “He’s probably going to the company.”

Both He Qing and Han Wenwen turned to her, confused. “Company? What company?”

Jiang Xueli laughed. “So you guys really didn’t know. Zhengran’s actually the general manager of a company—and it’s not a small one either. He hasn’t had time to go recently, but I bet he’s heading there for a meeting or something today.”

He Qing and Han Wenwen were momentarily stunned.

Then came the disbelief: “He’s a company’s general manager?! Since when?!”

Jiang Xueli scratched her forehead, a little awkward. “I thought you two already knew. The company’s been running for over two years now. It’s the one that’s been super popular in the city recently—Zhengshi Entertainment.”

Their minds were still blank, like hearing something out of a dream.

Jiang Xueli simplified it:

“You know the company I signed with? Zhengshi Music? That’s part of Zhengran’s business. I’m technically his employee. And He Qing, remember when Zhengran helped you join that sports company and enter the city’s competition? That was Zhengshi Sports.”

Little He Qing had never even considered it. “Wait—so you’re saying Zhengshi Sports, the one I competed under, belongs to Lin Zhengran?! But he’s only eighteen! Where’d he get the money to start a company? Is that even legal?”

Jiang Xueli sighed.

“Eighteen’s not that crazy. I found out about it when he was sixteen. As for the money, I’m not totally sure. He said it was a joint investment with someone. But yeah—he’s definitely the GM. And come on, does Zhengran seem like a normal person to you?”

She blinked her big, lively eyes.

“Zhengran’s been top of the class since forever. He wins all the awards without even trying. He’s good-looking, in shape, has great presence. And somehow he’s got two girls in love with him—without even causing drama—and both are all-in for him.”

She swallowed. “Add ‘runs a company’ to that, and sure, it sounds crazy for anyone else. But for Zhengran? Totally checks out. Don’t you think?”

A moment of silence.

He Qing: “Yeah, no kidding. I’ve always felt like Lin Zhengran has zero flaws when it comes to important stuff. Except maybe being a little mean sometimes... and a bit of a flirt...”

Jiang Xueli added, “And kinda mouthy... actually, I feel like he’s been getting even more mouthy lately.”
