That was because if he did it honestly, he could easily realize the jokes on the internet.
His father was the richest man in the world and his father-in-law was the president of the United States. Together, they could recommend him to be the CEO of the United Nations Development Bank.
His actions were as ferocious as a tiger. Just thinking about being able to leave his name in history made him a little excited.
His training period was one year. His sister, Li Pei, and the others had already returned to China, leaving him alone.
He stayed in the manor of Ivanov, the richest man in Belarus. Ivanov's son, Voroshilov, was inseparable from him every day.
Voroshilov looked like a typical East Slavic, with sunken eyes and a straight nose. He was not tall, about the same height as Li Lan, but his body was stout and his waist was round, making him look much stronger than Li Lan.
What impressed Li Lan the most was the long list of names: Ilyich Maxim Movich Konstantinovich Voroshilov.
Voroshilov even proudly told him that it was the "Son of Steel" in Russian.
What he meant was that Ivanov had seen too many superhumans. Later on, he realized that the Ivanov family had been blacksmiths for generations.
Li Lan didn't understand what was so proud about. Apart from his father, his family had been poor for eight generations, but he wasn't arrogant at all!
Voroshilov practiced Sanda. Li Lan was ashamed. He had practiced martial arts for more than twenty years, but he was caught in a chokehold in less than two minutes.
He looked at Qiu Liang angrily. Qiu Liang used wrestling techniques instead of fists, or his head would have exploded.
Qiu Liang scratched his head with a wronged expression.
Voroshilov's eyes lit up when he saw the thick layer of calluses on his hand.
Qiu Liang didn't understand a single word.
Li Lan smiled. "He wants to compete with you."
It was just a joke, so he wasn't worried at all.
"Sure." Qiu Liang didn't hesitate.
Voroshilov rushed over. Qiu Liang squinted his eyes and lowered his body, dodging the punch.
Li Lan dodged to the side and was about to admire it. Unfortunately, Qiu Liang was too fast. Before he could even see him move, Voroshilov was already facing the ground. When he got up, he kept rubbing his knees.
However, he still smiled in satisfaction. He patted Voroshilov's shoulder and turned to leave.
Qiu Liang, who was following behind him, was suddenly turned around and almost hit by him.
Qiu Liang got goosebumps from Li Lan's stare. He knew what Li Lan meant, so he smiled and said, "You're different from us. Our training doesn't stop until we lose a layer of skin. We're really risking our lives. You're the same as him, you're just strengthening your body."
In his eyes, Voroshilov was just an empty shell.
"But I'm not even as good as him." Li Lan was a little disappointed. He was indeed in The Truman Show's world. Voroshilov wasn't the first to help him, and he wouldn't be the last.
Qiu Liang explained, "The two of you play differently. He focuses on strength and speed, while you focus on agility."
Li Lan usually trained with him and Song Gu, but they dared to smash a brick on his head as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, but they could not do the same to Li Lan.
Li Lan said snappily, "Anyway, I'm not as good as him."
He couldn't help but sigh.
His studies continued. After spending an extremely boring Thanksgiving with Ivanov and the others, it was almost the Spring Festival. According to his father's wishes, he did not return to China.
After a year of advanced studies, he had an additional master's degree from a famous university on his resume.
That was all.
Then, he was finally able to speak fluent and indistinct English.
When he returned home, his parents did not ask about his well-being, but told him that the wedding date was set.
He did not react at all.
Qin Yuancheng was equally surprised.
The two sat in the teahouse and did not speak for a while.
After a while, Li Lan asked, "You agreed?"
"I don't think you've proposed to me yet?" Qin Yuancheng sipped his tea.
Li Lan smiled and said, "That's not the main point."
"Then what's the main point?" Qin Yuancheng asked.
"What I've said is the main point."
"Don't talk glibly." The longer he knew Li Lan, the more Qin Yuancheng realized that Li Lan was not the quiet and introverted person he seemed to be. In fact, he was an authentic Beijing talker.
Li Lan took out a red box from his pocket and suddenly grabbed Qin Yuancheng's hand.
Before Qin Yuancheng could react, a golden ring was put on his hand. The ring was very simple and looked old without any luster.
Li Lan said, "This is also our family heirloom. It was passed down from my grandmother to my mother."
"Thank you." Qin Yuancheng lowered his head in embarrassment.
The marriage between the two was set.
The wedding was held at the Four Seas Hotel, which completely went against Li Lan's original intention of having a simple wedding.
However, his parents did not agree, so there was nothing he could do.
Looking at the grand wedding, Zhao Di smiled and said to He Zhou, "You're not young anymore. It's time for you to be anxious."
He Zhou smiled and did not say anything. However, he knew that he was destined to disappoint his mother's expectations.
Every year, when his mother and his friends wanted to introduce him to a partner, he would reject them without any reason.
He was so busy with work that he avoided seeing his mother. In the past two years, he did not even want to go home during the Spring Festival. However, when he thought of his mother's hardships and that he was the only relative she had left, he could not bear it.
He could only return to his hometown to spend the New Year with his mother.
It was another graduation season and the entrance of the school had become a popular place to take photos.
He saw Qu Fu, who was taking photos, smiling like a flower.
He lit a cigarette and stood under a sycamore tree. He did not want to disturb her.
However, she had already seen him. She was wearing a bachelor's uniform. She walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Why are you here? Do you want to experience the atmosphere of a university graduation? "
"Do you have any thoughts about graduating so suddenly?"
"I don't have to skip classes anymore …"
"Do you have a place to stay?" He Zhou hesitated for a while and asked.
"I'll be taking care of it."
"You've found a job?" He was surprised.
"Yes, Tie Tie. I'll be interning at the project site first," she said happily.
"The project site will be very tough." He Zhou was not too surprised. After all, she majored in civil engineering, so it was normal for her to go to the site. However, it was still beyond his expectations. He had thought that she would choose a design institute or something like that.
"What's wrong with being able to enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland?" she said with a smile. "Alright, it's fine. I've already talked to my family. Maybe I'll have the opportunity to go abroad to do projects in the future. I'll just treat it as an experience of life at public expense. "
Now that her brother was independent and could support the family, she no longer had any burdens and a lot less mental pressure.
"It'll be very hard, and the wilderness isn't as good as you think," He Zhou said.
"Who doesn't work hard? Besides, what's wrong with applying what you've learned? "
He Zhou was actually speechless.
