Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 144 The Best Years Are Suitable for Doing Anything

At noon, Han Shuda made an appointment with Lu Shize to have lunch. Lu Shize took the elevator up from the underground parking lot, and Han Shuda was waiting outside the elevator. When the elevator door opened, Han Shuda saw his old friend and waved, "Shize, this way"...

Lu Shize took a seat and said, "You and your sister-in-law won't have lunch together? Why did you call me over?"

Han Shuda smiled and poured tea, "She'll keep me company. Isn't my night all hers? The same goes for you. I'm smart enough not to waste your precious night time."

Today is Christmas Eve, you and Jiaojiao want to get together tonight, right? Let’s get together at noon and have a good chat.”

Han Shuda mentioned the renovation of an old neighborhood. Lu Shize listened indifferently, and then listened to his old friend talk about the game he invested in and planned to hold an elite competition at the end of the year.

Speaking of this game, Han Shuda took out his mobile phone and said, "Which number is yours? I'll add you."

Lu Shize thought of his game account and said, "No. I didn't play it, it was Jiaojiao who played it."

"Huh? Didn't you give me several suggestions before? My designers all praised them, saying they were great ideas. We implemented a few of them, and there are indeed some praises in the review section... You haven't played them at all?"

Lu Shize just shook his head. In fact, he had logged in before, but his character 'Shadow' had been raised strong by Shen Jiaojiao. He took him out to hunt in the wild every day, and he had more and more equipment. He even traveled around the various gold coin areas arrogantly.

The friend didn't give up, "Just tell me your account number, and I'll send a friend request. You can log in one day, or you can ask Jiaojiao to approve it... I was also thinking that one day when we are free, we can have a discussion.

You are smart, maybe you can give me some more ideas for the game."

Lu Shize was afraid that his old friend would know his account number, and then one night when he was practicing, Shen Jiaojiao would lose his shirt again.

And an old friend happened to pass by and saw...

It was embarrassing to think about it, so Lu Shize still didn't give in. He just said, "How about you make a virtual account for me, add it yourself, and give it to me directly. I'll practice on my own first, and when there's a chance in the future, we can play against each other."

Although all games now require real names, Lu Shize knew that it would not be difficult for Han Shuda to create a new account for practice.

"Okay, I'll send it to you then. Play with it when you have time and help me see if there are any improvements I can make.

You know, after I took your advice last time, I increased the number of my game testers. I just let them play with all sorts of situations as much as possible, so that my programmers could write the corresponding measures and codes one by one...

Come and have some soup, the soup here is really good, bitter melon, abalone and pork ribs," he said, and brought over a soup bowl.

During the meal, Han Shuda answered a call from his wife, replied to a WeChat message, and then clicked on a picture for Lu Shize. "Hey, my wife bought this for me while shopping today. It's a nice gift, isn't it?"

The picture sent from the other side was a black Sujin scarf. Han Shuda thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, did your Jiaojiao give you anything? Let me see it too."

"Isn't she still in school?" Lu Shize replied.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot she is still a student. Look at my memory. There are no holidays on foreign holidays, so... I don't have time to buy you any gifts."

Han Shuda looked at his old friend again, "You're already quite grown up...are you really going to stay single forever?"

Seeing his old friend remain silent, Han Shuda continued, "Actually, if they want to find someone, it's definitely easy. You're good in every way, and many women like you... It's good to have someone who's considerate and understanding. Even for these Western holidays, don't we have gifts or something?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. This liquor... is it brewed by the store itself?"

The topic turned to wine, and the two started talking about other things. After paying the bill, they stood up to leave. Han Shuda received another call from his wife, "I have to take a call first, wait for me."

Han Shuda stood up and pressed the answer button when he heard the sound of someone sniffling and crying on the other end. "Chengzi, what's wrong?"

Min Xincheng's voice was a little low, "It's okay, when will you finish over there?"

"Did my mom scold you again? Wait a minute over there, I'm almost done here, oh, I'll call my mom."

"Don't".

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell her something else to divert her attention. I’m sure she won’t think it was you who called me, so I’ll call her again.

Orange, don't worry, I will definitely handle it today, trust me."

"Ok".

"So what gift did you buy for yourself? Just buy whatever you like."

"I don't have anything I particularly like. I usually buy it anyway. If I buy it today because it's a holiday, it won't count... Then you go ahead and get busy. I'm almost done here and taking Auntie to pick out gifts for the other workers at home... They don't have a day off today, but they still need a gift for each of them."

"Okay, Orange, thank you for your hard work. I'm hanging up now."

Han Shuda called his mother again, "Mom..."

Mother Han held her breath and asked, "What?"

"I forgot to remind you, there is a massage parlor on the 4th floor of that shopping mall, it's run by our Orange..."

"Oh..." the woman replied lightly.

My wife took her to get a massage in the morning. It included facial care, back care and hand care. To be honest, it was really comfortable and it was bright inside.

"When are you going to have a child? I asked her, and she just said to let nature take its course, that's all..."

"mom···".

"What do you mean by 'mom'?" The voice suddenly became louder. "If it had really been left to nature, wouldn't she have been pregnant a long time ago? How could she have married into this family? I calculated, it's been five years, and there's no movement in her belly."

Han Shuda interrupted quickly, "Mom! This is my problem. I'll tell you when I get back... Besides, Chengzi has two other companies to run besides this massage parlor... You're helping me by accompanying you shopping today."

Normally, if you come, it should be my son who will accompany you today, but I said I had already made an appointment with Mr. Lu a few days ago, so Chengzi quickly said that she would come to accompany you.

Hearing the other party about to refute something, Han Shuda continued, "You happened to be here this time, I will tell you the truth when I get back... I'm out now, so it's not easy for me to say it directly.

Anyway, don’t let my wife run away."

The old lady didn't want to hear any of this. "What truth or not, if I don't have children, I feel..."

"Mom, Mr. Lu is still waiting for me in the box, so I..."

"Okay, okay, go quickly, don't keep people waiting in vain."

"Then you have to buy a gift for Orange today too. No matter what she bought you, as an elder you can't do things that take advantage of the younger generation."

"you!"

"Oh, I know, my mom is definitely not that kind of person, and... you just said that if she let nature take its course, she would have gotten pregnant a long time ago. Yes, if she had been with someone else, she would have gotten pregnant a long time ago.

Please understand this sentence carefully."

Without waiting for the old lady's reaction, Han Shuda quickly hung up the phone.

The words were so pointed that she only needed to chew on them for a few seconds to figure out what he meant.

Han Shuda returned to the box, and Lu Shize looked up. "Is it solved?"

Han Shuda forked a piece of fruit and said, "My mother wants us to have a baby quickly. I just hinted to her that it's my fault."

Han Shuda couldn't help laughing at his old friend, "You don't know, my mother will be depressed for at least half an hour."

"Is this... not a good thing?"

"There's nothing I can do," he said, forking another piece of cantaloupe into his mouth, "My Orange is still little... You married me so young, you already love me the most, and... you have to have a baby now?

She herself is still a little brat.

Take your daughter Jiaojiao for example. Can you accept that she is urged to get married as soon as she graduates from college? Or that she is urged to get pregnant and have children as soon as she gets married?

Yes, everyone tells women that it is better to give birth early, and some say that 25 is the best age to have a baby.

But in fact"

Before Han Shuda finished speaking, Lu Shize took over, "In fact, she is in her twenties, the best time of her life. No matter what she chooses to do, it is the most suitable.

Even when going out for fun, he can run faster than people in their forties, fifties, sixties, or seventies.

During her most energetic years, she can develop her career.

You can also realize the dreams you had as a child.

Either go out and travel, or just stay quiet. Anyway, your twenties are the best time to do anything, not just having children."

“Yeah, I thought so too.

My wife and I talked about it. She asked me what my childhood dream was. I told her, and then she told me hers.

Later she told me that there are not many girls, or rather, among the girls she knows, no one fantasized when they were young, "I will graduate from college, get married immediately, have a child, another child, and then become a mother."

I can be a mother, but it is definitely not the only idea, and it is definitely not the fantasy I had as a child.

You see, we men can just focus on our careers, but once a woman gets married, if she is forced to accept it and immediately gets pregnant and gives birth...

Well, anyway, I am just waiting for the day when Orange will say to me, "Husband, let's have a baby. Then we can have another one."

Lu Shize thought of his little baby. Shen Jiaojiao had not yet gone abroad to study. She had always had good grades and was thinking about at least getting into a university like this in China, and then talking about studying abroad later.

However, in her freshman and sophomore years, she had a heavy workload, and there were students around her preparing for postgraduate entrance exams. Jiaojiao was not lazy either. Seeing others doing that, she became more strict with herself. Now she is a junior. Since the summer vacation, she has thought about doing business, and she also takes everything seriously.

Even after graduating from college, she probably still has a lot of things she wants to do. She hasn't tried bungee jumping, paragliding, skydiving, diving, or seeing the aurora... There are many things Jiaojiao definitely wants to do while she is still young.

Lu Shize still hoped that she would go out to study for a few years and then come back.

Han Shuda accompanied Lu Shize to the car. The bodyguard helped open the door. Seeing his old friend about to get in, Han Shuda quickly stuffed a bank card into his hand.

Lu Shize knew that he would give him a card. Han Shuda has always been like this.

"I just come to have a meal with you, this is not necessary."

Han Shuda continued, "Why not? The help you gave me at the resort last time, and also the game interface design, how much did that help me?"

No matter what, this should be given! It’s best for us brothers to settle accounts clearly...”

Seeing that Lu Shize still refused to accept it, Han Shuda pressed it again, "Hey, I gave it to Jiaojiao, how can it be for you?

Didn't you just say that Jiaojiao manages all your gaming accounts? Then, those suggestions you made that day, if it weren't for her, wouldn't you have come up with so many...

So, give it to her and thank her for me. This card doesn't have much money in it, not even a fraction of what you helped me with."

That's how the business world works. Even if their relationship is good, Han Shuda will always give something back if Lu Shize helps or reminds him. He knows Lu Shize doesn't care about it, but he feels that he has to settle accounts with everyone else.

There is absolutely no reason to bully your best friend...

If those suggestions were made by other friends, experts, or managers, I would also have to pay for them... I would pay for them if I gave them to others, and I must pay for them to my brother as well.

"Just keep it...you know me."

Han Shuda hurriedly stuffed the card into Lu Shize's coat pocket and retreated. Lu Shize had no way to deal with him.

"Say hello to your mother for me, and also, remember to pass this on to Jiaojiao."

"Oh, by the way, is the old neighborhood renovation you mentioned on Lingyu Road?"

Hearing Lu Shize mention it, Han Shuda suddenly became interested, "What? Are you interested? Damn, if you are interested..."

"It's not me, it's the youngest son of the Gu family. He gave me a plan before and asked me to invest."

Han Shuda leaned over and pushed Lu Shize inside to sit down. He then sat in Lu Shize's seat. "So you haven't invested yet? You haven't signed anything yet, right?"

Seeing Lu Shize shaking his head, Han Shuda quickly closed the door and said, "Well, I'll also come up with a plan. Give me a fair chance and see who will win between us..."

"His plan wasn't good, so I asked him to redo it. Maybe he'll talk to his brother or father later, and by then, the plan should be passable."

Han Shuda thought about it and nodded, "Actually, Shi Ze, you can do it yourself. You don't have to wait for his plan.

You see, you have enough subordinates, and what you are doing is your area of expertise, so you don’t have to think about whether to use his or my plan.

I suggest you do it all by yourself, I think you can eat it directly."

"No matter how talented one is, a person's energy is limited. Compared to other options, considering the cost-effectiveness, I can't spare the time for this renovation project."

Han Shuda thought again that if he competed with Gu Sheng, it should be no problem for him to come up with a better plan than the other party. And if he cooperated with his old friend, the profit he could give would be something that Gu Sheng could not match... So, comparing the two, Lu Shize would definitely choose to cooperate with him.

However, Lu Shize just said that he rejected Gu Sheng’s plan, which might require his brother or father to help... Once those people help, it means that they know about this matter.

If, in the end, I was the one who snatched this thing away... maybe the Gu family would hate me, and they might even blame Lu Shize as well.

There is profit, probably between 8 to million... Do you need to bring your old friends along to offend the Gu family?

People in the Gu family are basically vindictive by nature.

"So, Shi Ze, what you're saying is...wait for Gu Sheng's plan. As long as the return is barely acceptable, you'll agree to invest in him?"

“····small money”.

"Yeah, that's right. Okay, I'm leaving now."

Han Shuda got out of the car, bent down and said, "Well, I heard that your Jiaojiao runs a very good photo studio. Many of my wife's close friends know about it."

"Well, indeed, considering the time Jiaojiao has been involved in business, her growth rate is really fast."
