Lu Yang remained silent as Fu Xin continued his spittle-flecked speech, his expression unchanged.

After he finished speaking, Lu Yang smiled and asked, "Brother Fu, I don't have that much money. I can't set up a business like this."

Fu Xin pointed to the ground and said, "Building this four-story house will cost you at least 1.5 million yuan; it's a real business."

"To be honest, after we came to Guangzhou, we met a lot of people who boasted about their wealth, but when we asked them what specific businesses they owned, they couldn't say anything and just talked nonsense."

"We had to ask around for a while before we found out about you."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Even if it's a rented house, opening a shopping mall would require an investment of at least five million. Besides, there are already two large shopping malls here. Why are you so determined to open a shopping mall here?"

Fu Yiwei quickly added, "We have a stable supply of goods in Hong Kong. We can get clothing, shoes, bags, accessories, and electrical appliances at rock-bottom prices."

Lu Yang was surprised to see Fu Xin's smug look. He had thought Fu Xin was just trying to scam him out of money.

But Fu Yiwei didn't seem like a very scheming person, and Lu Yang could tell that the Fu family father and son looked down on people from the mainland.

Lu Yang thought for a moment, took out a pen and paper from his bag, and wrote down a string of numbers: "This is my phone number. Please also give me your contact information. I'll think about it and give you an answer within three days."

Fu Yiwei asked in surprise, "You have a mobile phone?"

Lu Yang took out his mobile phone from his bag and said, "I bought it on a whim, it cost more than 30,000 yuan, but this thing is too big and inconvenient to carry."

He spoke very casually, but the Fu father and son both put aside their contempt.

Fu Xin put away his phone number and then contacted Lu Yang using another phone number. The two then parted ways.

After they left, Zheng Yuntao hesitated and said, "This investment is too big, and you're not familiar with them. I don't think it's very reliable."

Yao Lili said helplessly, "It's not just unreliable, it's downright fanciful."

Lu Yang was silent for a moment and then said, "It's too difficult to set up a stall ourselves, but we can buy a counter."

Zheng Yuntao's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "No problem, I'll go contact them!"

Yao Lili turned her head and asked Zheng Yuntao, "Are the counters easy to rent?"

Zheng Yuntao waved his hand: "We can't rent it without connections, but I have a cousin who works in a shopping mall, so we can rent it."

"I'm just not sure how many I can rent at most."

Lu Yang looked up and said, "I'll give you a two thousand commission for renting one."

Zheng Yuntao's eyes lit up. His total monthly income was 53,000 yuan, including the management fees of the entire market and the money he earned from his upper shop.

He's too busy to handle everything himself and has hired people to do the work, but as soon as he heard that each counter would get a commission of two thousand, and since he was idle anyway, he immediately got excited and said, "I'll contact my uncle right away!"

After saying that, he ran off in a flash. Yao Lili took a sip of her soda, smiled, and said, "Are you planning to do business with the Fu family?"

Lu Yang nodded: "Of course they didn't rely on Bai Yiyi. They just asked Bai Yiyi for help, and they were able to set up the business."

Yao Lili felt a pang of sadness. She had met Bai Yiyi before; she was a very beautiful person, and she had a gut feeling that Bai Yiyi was interested in Lu Yang.

She said with a straight face, "If we want to supply goods in the long term, we can't rely entirely on Bai Yiyi."

Seeing her reaction, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile and said, "I was thinking that we could get some electrical appliances from Yiyi to sell, and I also have sources for shoes, bags, and clothing."

"And I'm looking forward to your graduation so we can start our own clothing brand."

"Once the branded clothing business is established and we have sufficient funds, we will then move into cosmetics."

Lu Yang hugged Yao Lili and began to dream about the future; this market was just the starting point for her to settle down in Guangzhou.

Yao Lili smiled and said, "I've now learned sketching and color matching. I already knew how to cut and embroider, so I'm sure I'll be able to design clothes next year."

Lu Yang touched her hair and suddenly had the idea to take her shopping at the mall.

The two wandered around the mall several times, buying several outfits and spending a lot of money before finally returning home.

At this moment, Lu Jianjun also arrived in Haishi. As soon as he arrived, he rushed to the Third People's Hospital to visit Lu Yao.

Lu Yao has been living in misery these past few days because Lao Xu and the others have no intention of taking care of him.

I only come here for a short while each day to get him two meals and make sure he doesn't starve.

Pour him a glass of water and put it on the bedside table; whether he can drink it or not is up to him.

As for going to the bathroom, there's no way I can help him.

He could only urinate using a chamber pot, and he had to beg the other patients in his ward to help him to defecate, which was extremely inconvenient.

He felt he had completely lost face in the past few days.

He had been hoping that someone from his hometown would come to take care of him; anyone would do, it was better than begging a stranger to take care of him.

When Lu Jianjun finally arrived, his eyes immediately welled up with tears, and he almost cried out, "Son, what happened to you?"

Fortunately, he still had some sense, so after a few words, he changed them to: "Nephew, who beat you up like this?"

Lu Yao gritted his teeth and said, "More than 10 people took the taxi, and now those 10 people are not taking care of me. They only paid my medical expenses, but the police did not punish them. I am really angry."

"You should report this to the police immediately and send all 10-plus people to jail."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianjun gritted his teeth in anger and exclaimed, "I'll get you a kettle of hot water and then go to the police station to report it right away."

The police station had already opened a case and was just waiting for Lu Jianjun to arrive.

Lu Jianjun insisted on not accepting mediation and demanded that the police sentence them.

But Qi Gong'an said helplessly, "Your nephew's right leg is disabled and he may be lame in the future. In addition, he will need to have craniotomy because he has a blood clot in his brain. Do you have enough financial resources to treat him?"

Lu Jianjun had been so angry that he lost his temper, but after hearing what Qi Gong'an said, he calmed down instantly.

Their family's circumstances are not what they used to be, and they simply cannot afford the high medical expenses.

But he was unwilling to let go of the more than 10 people who beat his own son until he became crippled.

Qi Gong'an was clearly aware of his continued thoughts and advised, "They turned themselves in and showed a good attitude in admitting their mistakes. How about this? They will definitely be criminally detained, but for a shorter period of time, because they will have to pay for your nephew's medical expenses."

“If you insist on not accepting mediation and not writing a letter of understanding, they will pay less of the fine, or they may keep delaying and not pay on time.”

“But your nephew is so young and still in college. If this drags on, it will be bad for his condition. You should think about it carefully.”

“We should have told your nephew, but he is very emotional and in poor health, so we didn’t dare to upset him. That’s why we’ve been putting it off until you come over.”
