Chapter Twenty-Four: Three Years in a Hurry

Time is like the sand that you want to hold onto, it always slips through your fingers inadvertently, no matter how hard you try, you can't stop it from passing.

For more than three years, Lin Yueran devoted almost all of his energy to studying, not only in his own major, but also in other disciplines such as sociology, psychology, and even literature. Studying different disciplines, comprehending the essence of research in various fields, and not looking at it can broaden your horizons and allow you to look at problems from a more inclusive perspective, so as to avoid becoming narrow-minded and extreme.

At the 2007 master's degree awarding ceremony, Lin Yueran quietly received the certificate from the president and listened to his old man's blessings and words of encouragement. It's really nostalgic and a little sad, no wonder many people have deep memories of college life.

"Dad, Mom, brother is waving to us" Xiujing waved her little arms excitedly, she came to Canada to live for a period of time every year, most of the time was summer and spring break. Not only did I have a lot of fun, but I also learned a lot of things, such as horseback riding, driving a motorboat, fencing, learning oil painting with Lin Yueran, visiting former friends in San Francisco, and being an extras in Hollywood if I had the opportunity. In the past few years, Lin Yueran's Green Tree Restaurant has blossomed in the United States, and the business is very good, and the favorite restaurant of Hollywood stars is the Green Tree Restaurant here, and Xiujing has also collected many celebrity autographs.

"Sit down, the ceremony is not over yet" Xiujing was reprimanded by Zheng Chengxun with her teeth and claws, Xu Yilei touched the little girl's head, and smiled to comfort Xiujing who was pouting. In the past three years, Xu Yilei has been studying quietly, and her movie "Struggle with Life" immediately attracted countless audiences as soon as it was released, and the spirit of selfless struggle for the country by the scientists in the movie has been affirmed by the high-level, and it is also very exciting for the booming economy in China, of course, the box office continues to rise, and even almost won the honor in Cannes, she has also become a benchmark for a new generation of directors. But when she became famous, she made a decision that shocked people in the circle, went to school again, took a break from her directing major, and recharged herself, when everyone thought she wanted to further build momentum for herself, Xu Yilei really began to study seriously, there were no TV series and movies in the past three years, and there were no new works directed, and everyone forgot about her a little.

There are not many people who confer master's degrees, the ceremony does not last very long, and foreign presidents do not have the habit of making long speeches. "Yueran, congratulations" Zheng Chengxun happily gave his nephew a big hug, "Thank you, uncle, aunt, and the cutest sister Xiujing" Lin Yueran attached great importance to today's ceremony, so he specially invited his only uncle's family to attend his graduation ceremony, and of course, Xu Yilei.

"Sister Lei, thank you" Lin Yueran hugged her deeply, "Brother, this is a public occasion, pay attention to the influence, besides, there are children" Xiujing, who is a ghost elf, was very unhappy when she saw her brother and beautiful sister hugging each other affectionately, just like her brother was snatched away.

"Miss Xu, I'm sorry, the child is naughty" The aunt looked at the two who were a little embarrassed and quickly pulled Xiujing aside, the girl was really rude, the first time she saw Xu Yilei, she didn't like this woman a little, not only was she older than Lin Yueran but also a little arrogant, I don't know if she would bully her nephew. Xu Yilei didn't dare to offend this aunt, but Lin Yueran treated her like his own mother, panicked at her from the heart, and waited carefully everywhere, how dare he have any opinions.

"Xiujing, tomorrow my brother is going to hold a drinking party in the manor, in order to entertain you, I am going to kill a cow" Lin Yueran teased her with Xiujing's small braids, this girl has extremely enthusiasm for beef, almost every time she comes over, the first thing is to clamoring to eat beef, doesn't her aunt give her good food? Later, I learned that Korean beef is not generally expensive, especially Korean local beef, which almost many rich people cannot afford, which is also caused by Koreans' superstition of locally produced food.

"Brother is the highest" has been coveting the beef Xiujing on her brother's farm for a long time, and she really can't resist the taste.

"Auntie, are you abusing Xiujing, every time you come, you want to eat meat" Lin Yueran smiled, "Stinky boy, what do you say, she is my own child, she prefers meat, but she also has to control it, look at her double chin, what if she grows into a little fat child" Auntie is also extremely headache for her two daughters.

Everyone laughed, only Xiujing kept arguing that she was growing her body, and she also used her sister as an example, saying that she didn't grow tall because of malnutrition.

"Auntie, Xiuyan is about to take the university entrance examination, she has to study and prepare for her debut, she must be tired, I asked my Korean classmates to get the college entrance examination papers of the past few years and do some sorting out by myself, and bring her back" As soon as she got home, Lin Yueran took out a big information bag, although Xiuyan didn't come, but Lin Yueran admired this sister very much, and she had a domineering spirit and perseverance not to give up.

The aunt took the information bag and was moved, this nephew is really caring, but the eldest daughter made her worry more, she has been a trainee for seven years, her grades are a mess, fortunately she is about to make her debut, but she has no hope for the college entrance examination, she has already burned high incense if she can go to a junior college.

"Thank you, Yueran, Xiuyan's achievements are at the end of the crane every year, she herself has a thought of being on the stage, if I can have a tenth of you, I can wake up with a smile in my dreams" Although the aunt felt that this was not very helpful to her daughter, she still wanted to thank her nephew for her kindness.

Lin Yueran didn't expect it to be like this, he knew that Xiuyan's grades were bad before, he thought that this girl would study hard after she went to high school, but she didn't expect that she would be the last one every year like before, and she was a little embarrassed, didn't she mean to block her aunt.

"Auntie, don't worry, with my master's degree, I will definitely help our Xiuyan get admitted to a good university" Lin Yueran made a guarantee, Xiuyan looked like a smart child, as long as he concentrated on studying, he would definitely be able to improve his grades, and his aunt was happy, saying that he was boasting about himself.

Because of Lin Yueran's trust, Buddy is now sitting in the position of CEO of Green Tree Restaurant, and step by step opening the North American market to make Green Tree Restaurant the best restaurant, and now every year a large number of European and Asian tourists come to the restaurant to enjoy a handful of coffee, taste the high-quality vegetables and beef praised by everyone, and some people even sell reserved seats for profit. Now that Lin Yueran is holding a banquet for the first time to entertain his friends and his staff, he must win such an opportunity.

"Anne, you're still working like this, but Mr. Fisher will take me to court," Anne Lin, who looked at the pot-bellied woman, hugged her lightly and said jokingly. 2 years ago, Anne met the town's new sheriff Fisher, and soon the two fell in love and entered the wedding hall, but Anne is a person who has to personally inquire about everything, and she does not rest even after she is pregnant, which makes Mr. Fisher complain, if she doesn't know his wife's temper, maybe she really wants to sue Lin Yueran.

"Boss, I have to be worthy of your salary, but I can't let it go now, I'm ready to put Heath on the farm to manage the farm, and I'll have to take a break from study" Anne is stubborn and has to think about the child.

"I believe in your vision, is he here today, I want to meet him" Lin Yueran still has to make sure for himself.

"Of course, he should have arrived, I called him over" Anne beckoned Fisher to find someone, really couldn't understand how these two people could be together, completely discordant.

There were a lot of people here today, and soon Zoe's family arrived, and her youngest daughter Claire was Lin Yueran's goddaughter. It's all to blame on Alex, as a member of the boxing club, I met Zoe's husband Path, a boxing enthusiast, Paz was very envious of Alex's boxing skills, and always wanted to ask for advice, after learning that Alex's skills were taught by Lin Yueran, and Lin Yueran was his wife's boss, and the relationship was very good, so after the birth of his youngest daughter Claire, he asked Lin Yueran to be his godfather, and it was really hard to refuse and agreed.

"Claire, my baby, is it easy to remember the godfather" I like this doll-like goddaughter Lin Yueran very much, and specially bathed her with spring water and herbs in the space, the little guy who is less than a year old is pink and cute, and very smart, seeing Lin Yueran open his hands and asking him to hug him, this can make Lin Yueran very happy.

"Ah, baby, that's the godfather's ear, not your bottle" As soon as he took the little baby from Zoe's arms, he was bitten on the ear by the little guy, and Claire, who was growing teeth, still hurt when he bit it, Zoe and Paz both smiled and leaned back together, "My sister is teething, biting everything" Three-year-old Jim sympathized with this uncle, because he was bitten by his sister a lot at home, but he still likes to play with his sister whenever he has time.

"Everyone, welcome to Green Tree Manor, I'm Aven, and today I want to celebrate my master's degree, but also thank you for your hard work over the past three years. Annie, Zoe, Buddy, Linda, Yuko, and Xiuya, it is your efforts that have led to Maple Pond Coffee, Green Tree Restaurant, and Green Tree Farm. Annie, your efforts have made our originally barren farm more than five million a year, and Buddy, you opened a small town restaurant to a real North America, and Zoe has always given me the most correct investment plan to ensure that everything goes smoothly, thank you" Lin Yueran raised his glass to greet everyone, and the audience erupted in warm applause.
