Chapter 71: Successful Refining

  After earning several streets, Lin San finally found all the materials. Seeing that it was already noon, Lin San casually found a small restaurant and ordered a stir-fried noodle dish to eat hastily. After finishing the noodles, Lin San directly returned home.

  As soon as Lin San entered the house, he eagerly took out all the materials, removed his outerwear, and began to refine the inferior storage ring according to the steps recorded in the small booklet.

  An hour passed and Lin San's forehead began to show beads of sweat.

  Two hours had passed and Lin San's face began to turn pale.

  Three hours had passed and Lin San's breathing became exceptionally labored.

  More than ten hours later, Lin San's face lit up with joy: "It's finally been successfully refined."

  A small and delicate ring floated quietly in mid-air, with a faint layer of dark light hovering on its surface.

  This storage ring is really not easy to refine, Lin San almost failed, it was the dagger bought today, which was indeed made of Xuan Tie, and the material was even top grade.

  Looking at the storage ring floating in front of him, Lin San's face showed a hint of excitement, took a deep breath, and Lin San reached out to grasp the storage ring, a cool feeling spreading from the ring.

  Lin San spread out his palm, carefully examining the storage ring on his hand, muttering to himself: "Beautiful, this ring is really too beautiful." Lin San admired it for a while, then directly put the storage ring on the middle finger of his left hand. The ring was just the right size and didn't shake at all when placed on his finger. Lin San stood up, walked to a vase, and brought the ring close to the vase. In his heart, he silently recited: "Store."

  A strange scene appeared.

  The vase that was just placed on the table suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed before.

  Seeing the vase disappear, Lin San's face suddenly lit up with joy. He slowly closed his eyes and used his newly cultivated divine sense to probe inside the storage ring. (The divine sense is also known as intention, generally referred to by immortals as divine sense. The divine sense usually grows with the increase in cultivation, like those immortals in the immortal realm, their powerful divine sense can easily cover tens of thousands of kilometers around them. Lin San's current cultivation was very low, and his divine sense could only cover his entire house.)

  Lin San's mouth slightly curled up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He had just used his divine sense to scan the storage ring and clearly sensed that the vase that had just disappeared was placed inside the storage ring. Lin San withdrew his divine sense, and with the hand holding the ring, he lightly swept it around, absorbing all the furniture in the living room into the storage ring.

  After absorbing so many pieces of furniture, the ring didn't gain any weight at all, still as light as before.

  Lin San waved his hand, and the furniture and vases that had just disappeared all reappeared in the living room, still arranged in their original positions, as if they had never been moved.

  "This storage ring is really amazing." Lin Sanxi lovingly stroked the storage ring and exclaimed.

  That night, Lin San was in high spirits and kept using the storage ring to absorb things from the living room. He wanted to test it out and see how much stuff he could store inside. During the experiment, Lin San discovered a problem - the ring couldn't store living creatures. He went downstairs, absorbed a stray cat into the ring, and within minutes, it died. At that moment, Lin San was shocked and never dared to store living things in the ring again.

  It's daytime now.

  Lin San simply had a light breakfast and then drove to Ding Sheng Group. As soon as he walked into the building, he received a call from Gu Jialan.

  "Lin San, have you arrived at the company?" Gu Jialan's voice was still as gentle and soft as ever, making people feel especially comfortable when they heard it.

  "Has arrived, what's wrong, something happened?" Lin San smiled and said.

  "Uh-huh, now come to my office for a bit, there's something I want to discuss with you." Gu Jialan nodded.

  "I'm on my way," Lin San said before hanging up his phone and heading towards the elevator.

  "Director Lin is good."

  "Good morning, Director Lin!"

  Many security guards respectfully greeted Lin San.

  Lin San also smiled in response.

  Sitting in the elevator and arriving at the 29th floor, Lin San lightly pushed open the door to Gu Jialan's office with a familiar touch.

  Gujialan was sitting on the sofa drinking tea when she saw Lin San walk in, and immediately stood up with a smile to greet him. Gujialan looked very beautiful today, wearing a black silk jacket on top and gray casual pants on the bottom, her long black hair neatly draped over her shoulders, with light makeup on her face, looking extremely youthful and radiant.

  Lin San naturally stretched out his hand and hugged Gu Jialan, lowering his head to bite Gu Jialan's red, sexy lips.

  Gǔ Jiālán wrapped her arms around Lín Sān's neck, responding passionately.

  They hugged for nearly 10 minutes before reluctantly parting ways.

  Lin San stretched out his hand and gently hooked Gulan's nose: "You're getting more and more passionate like fire."

  Gu Jialan smiled and said, "I'm just passionate about you alone." As she spoke, Gu Jialan led Lin San to the sofa by the wall and personally poured him a cup of tea.

  Lin San Du picked up his teacup and took a light sip: "You've come looking for me, what's the matter?"

  Gu Jialan leaned her head on Lin San's shoulder as soon as she sat down: "Lin San, yesterday my dad convened a company board meeting to discuss your position."

  Lin Sanyi was stunned and turned his head to look at Gu Jialan in confusion: "Study my job?"

  Gujalan nodded: "My dad wants you to be the deputy general manager of the company, mainly in charge of internal management."

  Lin San's mouth twitched: "To be honest, this news really scared me a bit." As the largest enterprise in Lanzhou City, Ding Sheng Group's deputy general manager is definitely a big shot.

  Gujalan suddenly sighed.

  "What's wrong?" Lin San asked.

  "Several of the company's seniors disagree with you," Gu Jialan said calmly. "They say you're too young and lack management experience, so you're not suitable for the deputy general manager position."

  "What they said is right, I don't have the educational background or management experience, and it's really not suitable for me to be a deputy general manager." Lin San actually has quite some self-awareness.

  Gujalan raised his head and looked at Lin San: "Lin San, don't belittle yourself. In my heart, you are the most capable one."

  Lin San smiled, reaching out to gently stroke Gu Jialan's smooth and delicate face: "You think so highly of me, I'm truly delighted." Lin San could ignore others' opinions, but he valued Gu Jialan's opinion greatly.

  "I discussed it with my dad and we decided to send you abroad for further studies, to learn about corporate management. After you graduate, my dad will directly hire you as the company's deputy general manager. By then, those who understand will have no excuse to stop you." Gu Jialan said.

  Lin San was stunned: "Let me go abroad to study business management?" Gu Jialan's words were quite unexpected for Lin San.

  Gujalan nodded: "Yes, I have registered for you at Roosevelt University in M country. The semester is 1 year, and a master's degree will be awarded after graduation."

  Lin San was speechless, unsure of what to say next.

  "What? You don't want to?" Gu Jialan felt a bit anxious when she saw Lin San remaining silent.

  Lin San shook his head: "Going to M country for further study is a good thing, but going for 1 year, the time is really a bit long..."

  "Isn't it just two years? It's passed in a flash."

  "But we can't meet often anymore." Lin San said hesitantly.

  Gujalan reached out and grabbed Lin San's arm: "I've thought about this a long time ago, we can make phone calls every day, and I can take a plane to M country to see you every week. Of course, you can also take a plane back home to see me. The flight from the provincial city to M country only takes a dozen or so hours, very convenient." Because Lanzhou does not have an airport, if you want to go to M country, you must go to the provincial city to take a plane.

  "But..." Lin San still hesitated.

  "Lin San, I also want you to have a better development, you can't be the head of security for the rest of your life, right?" Gu Jialan said softly.

  The head of security at Ding Sheng Group may seem impressive to outsiders, with a monthly salary of several thousand yuan and managing hundreds of security personnel. However, in the eyes of Gu Jialan, a wealthy young woman, the position of head of security is far too lowly. As a woman, Gu Jialan wants her man to achieve great things, and she had originally planned for Lin San to become the company's vice president. After Gu Jialan takes over Ding Sheng Group in the future, she would then make Lin San the president. However, the company's executives strongly opposed this idea, citing reasons such as Lin San's lack of experience, low education level, and unsuitability for the position of vice president. In the end, Gu Jialan came up with the idea of sending Lin San abroad to pursue further studies. Once Lin San obtains a master's degree in business administration, the company's executives would no longer have any reason to oppose him.

  Everything Gu Jialan did was for Lin San and also for herself.

  Lin San thought for a long time before nodding slightly: "Okay, I'll go to the United States." In fact, Lin San didn't want to go to M country, but he couldn't bear to disappoint Gu Jialan, so he could only reluctantly agree. It's just one year, gritting his teeth and getting through it.

  Seeing Lin San agree, Gu Jialan suddenly smiled happily and buried her head in Lin San's arms: "I knew you would agree."

  Lin San stretched out his hand and gently stroked Gulan's back, asking: "When are we leaving?"

  "Wait for a few days, I'll get you a passport first. By the way, how's your English?" Gu Jialan asked.

  "It's still okay, I think. When I graduated from university, I passed the English level 4 exam, so simple communication with foreigners shouldn't be a problem." Lin San was being a bit modest here. In university, his English grades were quite good, always ranking in the top three in exams. He had even passed the level 4 English exam in his second year of university. However, after that, he got busy with studying and working part-time, and gradually neglected his English skills. After graduating from university, he hardly spoke any English at all (there were indeed very few opportunities to speak English domestically). A year had passed since then, and the English Lin San learned in university was basically abandoned, but simple communication should still be manageable.

  "That's good." Upon hearing that Lin San had passed his English level 4 exam, Gu Jialan slightly put her mind at ease.

  Now that we've finished discussing official business, it's time to talk about personal matters.

  After chatting for a few sentences, Lin San and Gu Jialan hugged each other and started kissing again. Lin San's hands were still wandering on Gu Jialan's body, whose figure was very full and plump, especially her chest which was particularly impressive, feeling soft and comfortable to the touch.
