He secretly changed his character

Not only had his grandfather passed away when Xiao Yushu married, but during the ten years that Lu Zichu was with him, his eldest uncle and second uncle also passed away. His father was the fourth child and was the last of the three to pass away.

In this life, he died on New Year's Eve when Lu Zichu was thirteen years old, seventeen years earlier than in the previous life.

Somehow his mother managed to get through those difficult times.

Like his eldest uncle, whose only son just started primary school, he passed away. His second uncle, whose daughter just got married and whose son was still in the third year of high school, also passed away suddenly. His two aunts were equally pitiful.

And his third uncle finally got better, but his health was still not good. In view of the experiences of his other brothers, he was mentally prepared for his own situation, he was just counting down the days.

It was because all the relatives on his father's side had a hard time living that in his previous life, he was sent to live with his aunt.

Whenever he thought of this, Lu Zichu felt heavy in his heart.

Old Master Chen didn't want to talk about it any more, so the two of them changed the subject without leaving any trace and started talking about the book.

The book was the Chen family genealogy. Lu Zichu flipped through it and found the page with his grandmother's name written on it. His grandfather's name was written below her name.

I also saw Chen Yuxing written next to Chen Yuezhi. I guessed it was Mr. Chen's name.

The two people chatted casually while watching.

Most of the questions were asked by Old Man Chen. He first asked about the descendants of the Lu family, and then showed concern for Lu Zichu's own situation.

When he learned that he started from scratch and managed three companies, he immediately praised him.

"The education industry is very bright and has a great future. The country has provided great support to education in recent years, not only in terms of bank loans, but also in terms of tax rates."

Lu Zichu said, "That's true. The gaming industry is currently in its golden period of rapid development, and we can take advantage of this opportunity to attract another wave of hot money. However, the glory won't last long. The education industry is still the long-term solution, and we need to make steady progress. The focus of the Lu Group will shift from the gaming industry to education in the future."

“Young people have a lot of ideas.”

“This question is actually very simple. A person may never be isolated from games for his whole life, but he will never be isolated from education.”

Mr. Chen praised her greatly, but changed the subject by asking, "Are you married?"

Lu Zichu blushed, "No."

"how old are you?"

"This is my zodiac year."

"Oh, twenty-four. What do you think of our Annie?"

Mr. Chen's questions jumped too quickly, and Lu Zichu was a little confused, "Ah? Annie——sister?"

"Well, two years older—"

At this time, the door was opened. Annie Chen and Fei Mingze walked in. The former obviously heard what Mr. Chen said and complained, "Grandpa, we just met today, don't scare me."

Old Master Chen touched his forehead and said, "I just saw people from my hometown, and I was happy... I was happy."

"Don't let people think that your granddaughter is unmarriageable."

"How could my granddaughter not be able to get married? The young men pursuing her could form a whole battalion."

"Yes."

"I just saw a good young man and wanted to keep him for you." Old Master Chen glanced at Fei Mingze and said, "It's fine if you mention Mingze, but Xiaolu——"

"Grandpa!" Annie Chen pretended to be angry, "If you say that again, I'm going to run away from home."

"You have no respect for your parents. Today is my birthday and you are giving me a hard time."

"You still know it's your birthday? There are guests in the room below, but you are just dragging Zichu to talk endlessly."

"Okay, time to go down and cut the cake." Old Master Chen came to greet Lu Zichu, "Let's go, Xiaolu."

Lu Zichu nodded, turned around, took out his mobile phone and took a picture of his grandmother, then went downstairs with everyone else.

After cutting the cake, Mr. Chen took Lu Zichu to visit the guests one by one.

Lu Zichu naturally understood his intention of introducing him, so he pretended to be generous and decent, and went to meet those bigwigs from all walks of life to build up his network.

Seeing how carefully Mr. Chen introduced Lu Zichu, those people did not dare to underestimate this young man. So before the circle was over, new rumors had already spread.

However, most people are speculating whether the upstart Lu Zichu will become Mr. Chen's grandson-in-law.

Fei Mingze held a glass of champagne and watched Lu Zichu moving with ease among the crowd.

Annie Chen stood beside him, "Is he your birthday gift to grandpa?"

"Of course not." Fei Mingze said, "I have no idea about the connection between Lu's family and your family."

"I was thinking--" Annie Chen tilted her head and said half of a sentence, but stopped herself.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering whether I should accept Grandpa's proposal of closer relationship."

Fei Mingze looked up subconsciously, and then met Annie Chen's eyes, which were filled with a hint of teasing, "Your courage is commendable."

Annie Chen doubled over with laughter, "It was just a joke."

The two chatted while looking at Lu Zichu in the center of the banquet hall.

Fei Mingze was originally worried that Lu Zichu would not be able to cope with such a situation. After all, he was always willful, eccentric, childish, and his emotional intelligence and EQ were not online in front of him.

But now I have to admit that he can handle this kind of situation with ease and face all kinds of people calmly.

From his manners to his conversation, he was impeccable. He was completely different from the Lu Zichu he used to be.

A moment later, Lu Zichu came back with a thick stack of business cards.

Lu Zichu thought that a banquet with this kind of atmosphere would never be related to business, and everyone was discussing entertainment and family matters.

I never thought that I was naive. Even if they were here to celebrate a birthday, countless people would be eager to come to a banquet of this scale, and they would naturally not forget their mission.

So, the men gathered together, including bank presidents, fund chairmen, securities dealers, venture capital heads, and rich young men. It was like an industry gathering, exchanging some gossip and inside information, and occasionally talking about the domestic and international situation, and its impact on various industries.

When the women sat together, there were wealthy ladies, rich daughters, entertainment stars, and strong women. The topics they discussed were different from those of the men. They either showed off their wealth or gossiped about the love, hate, and grudges among the wealthy families.

Lu Zichu would interject here and listen to a few words there, switching seamlessly between industry gatherings and high-end salons. He felt like he had schizophrenia.

Fei Mingze brought him a dessert and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Lu Zichu shook his head, "I don't want to eat sweet things."

Fei Mingze then brought out the cold seafood dishes.

Lu Zichu collapsed on the sofa, loosened his collar, let out a long sigh, and looked a little decadent.

Annie Chen said, "I see Zichu is tired, so I'll arrange a guest room for you. You can stay here for one night."

Fei Mingze said, "Okay."

Then he pulled Lu Zichu up from the sofa. Lu Zichu had played for half a day in the afternoon and had a round of social activities in the evening. He drank a lot of champagne and red wine, and was slightly drunk and sleepy. He didn't want to move a step, and hung on Fei Mingze like his scarf.

In the end, Fei Mingze had no choice but to pick him up.

When we arrived at the guest room, Annie Chen asked, "How many rooms do you want?"

“I thought the answer to that question was obvious.”

Annie Chen smiled, did not answer, and opened the door. She placed the plate of seafood sashimi on the table in the living room.

Fei Mingze thanked her and then walked her out the door.

"It seems that we still have to be a family."

"I fully support this approach."

"Good night then, brother-in-law." Annie Chen lifted her skirt and walked away with a smile.

Fei Mingze looked embarrassed.
