Shen Xuwen stared at Lu Yang with red eyes, his face full of suspicion: "Now that there's photo compositing technology, these photos of yours aren't all composites, are they?"

Lu Yang wasn't surprised that he knew about this advanced technology, after all, he worked for the Industry and Commerce Bureau, and government agencies are often better informed.

Lu Yang said expressionlessly, "They are in Yangcheng right now. If you don't believe me, that's fine. It won't cost me anything."

Shen Xuwen took a deep breath and picked up the photos again to examine them repeatedly.

Finally, he dejectedly threw all the photos on the coffee table and asked in a low voice, "Are they together?"

Cheng Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "Lu Qing used to be someone's mistress, and when she was an actress, she would sleep with the director repeatedly for a role. Shen Xuwen is still concerned about whether she will be with someone else. He's got a big heart."

Lu Yang shook his head: "We're not together yet because this person has been taking advantage of him, and might make him work as a hostess in the future."

Shen Xuwen's breathing quickened immediately. He was silent for a moment before saying, "The provincial capital is preparing to build a large modern shopping mall to replace the old department stores."

"But the original site is still in the department store, and it is currently still seeking tenants."

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Then could you help introduce me to the person in charge of this project?"

Shen Xuwen sat on the sofa, his face grim, and said, "My dad is in charge."

Lu Yang squinted at him, remained silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but laugh and say, "The investors you found before were all unreliable, weren't they?"

Shen Xuwen's eye twitched, clearly realizing that Lu Yang had guessed his thoughts.

After all, wealthy people across the country are quite leisurely now, and foreign businesses are flocking to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, so relatively few are investing here.

Compared to others, Lu Yang was the more reliable one.

"Then please help me contact your dad so we can meet and discuss this."

Lu Yang didn't bother with any more pleasantries and went straight to the point.

Shen Xuwen stood up and reiterated, "If I facilitate your cooperation with my father, you must tell me Lu Qing's whereabouts and this man's identity!"

Lu Yang nodded: "No problem, I mean what I say."

Shen Xuwen quickly got up and strode away, walking very fast as if he didn't want to linger for even a second longer.

Once he was completely out of sight, Cheng Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes and say, "Is this guy out of his mind?"

Lu Yang recalled his past life, where Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing were a perfect couple. They had been married for over ten years, always treating each other with respect, and had two children.

He said coldly, "Perhaps this is true love."

Cheng Lin couldn't help but shudder at the goosebumps on her arms. She waved her hand and said, "Don't be so sarcastic in the future. These two are just birds of a feather; neither of them are good people."

Lu Yang laughed heartily: "Isn't there a saying in my hometown that you can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed?"

Cheng Lin pointed at Lu Yang and said, "That makes sense. Let's go, come with me to buy the things we need for the wedding. Although we've hired a wedding planning company, I feel there are some things I still need to handle myself."

Lu Yang wasn't sure what he wanted to buy, but he finished his rice in a few bites, changed his clothes, and drove off with him.

Cheng Lin has now bought a car and drives very well. The two chatted as they drove and soon arrived at the nearby commercial street.

Cheng Lin ordered a lot of flowers from a florist and asked them to deliver them to the wedding venue next week.

This flower shop is quite large; they have all the roses Cheng Lin wanted, and the varieties are complete.

Especially now, at this time of year, all kinds of flowers are at their best.

Cheng Lin haggled with the florist, but Lu Yangzhe simply asked the clerk to wrap a bouquet for him so he could take it back to Yao Lili.

Lu Yang had seen such bouquets many times in his previous life, but he had never thought of buying them.

Because at that time, they were lucky if they could have enough to eat, let alone have extra money to cultivate their minds.

Cheng Lin accepted the flowers Lu Yang bought, and he also bought a bouquet to give to Xu Huiying.

The two left the flowers at the flower shop and went to buy other things. After buying a lot of things, they returned to the flower shop to take the two bouquets of flowers with them and parted ways at the intersection.

Lu Yang went straight home and gave the bouquet of flowers to Yao Lili.

Yao Lili's eyes lit up. After taking the flowers, she untied the cap and put them in a vase. She stood by the vase, urging Lu Yang to take a picture of her.

Lu Yang took out his color camera and took a picture of him. Just as he put the camera down, the door outside was pushed open.

Lu Xing and Lu Yue walked in from outside carrying large and small bags. Both of them looked tired, but when they saw Lu Yang and Yao Lili, they immediately rushed over to greet them happily.

Lu Yang patted their heads and said softly, "The results of the high school entrance exam should be coming out soon. After the results are out, I will transfer you to high school in the provincial capital and have Mom come to stay with you. The teaching quality in the provincial capital is better than in our county."

Lu Xing and Lu Yue had no objection to this, after all, the provincial capital not only had better teaching quality, but also more prosperous places than the county.

They never want to go back when they come to the provincial capital.

Three days later, their results came out.

Fortunately, both of them were good enough to get into top high schools, which relieved Lu Yang. As long as their grades were good enough, it would save him a lot of trouble in transferring them to other schools.

He hadn't visited Brother Chen since he got back, so early the next morning, he brought some things to visit him.

I also mentioned to him that I wanted him to help me transfer schools. His younger siblings' grades had already dropped, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to transfer schools with those grades.

Brother Chen raised an eyebrow at Lu Yang and asked, "Are you trying to get involved in the business of that shopping mall in the provincial capital?"

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised, as he hadn't intended to hide it from Brother Chen.

So he smiled and said, "I overheard that this shopping mall is going to transform into a modern shopping mall. I'm a little interested and plan to talk to the deputy director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I'm not sure whether I should invest."

"Are you also interested in this project? Let's invest together."

Brother Chen said bluntly with a straight face, "I can't directly get involved in this kind of business. In this provincial capital, I am nominally the local bigwig, but in reality, I am often subject to the control of others."

"Bai Hexiang, the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, is now protecting another group of people, and he doesn't get along with me at all. If I were to compete for this shopping mall project, I definitely wouldn't be able to get a place."

Lu Yang thought about it carefully and realized that the reason why Brother Chen in his previous life ended up in such a miserable state was directly related to the collusion between officials and businessmen and the struggle between the underworld and the legitimate world.

But in this life, he and Brother Chen are on the same side, so he naturally wants to find a way to help Brother Chen.
