Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lan Siqi's expression was somewhat distorted. She had never seen a man dare to speak to her like that before. All the men she had met in the past had tried to curry favor with her.

Or perhaps it's because of her family background that people go out of their way to please her.

I've never encountered someone like Lu Yang before.

They didn't give her any face at all.

She was furious and could no longer contain her anger. She grabbed a plate of sesame paste from the table and slapped it at Lu Yang's face.

Lu Yang immediately got up to dodge her attack, and sesame paste was slapped on the ground.

With a loud snap, everyone fell silent and stared intently at Lan Siqi.

Lan Siqi was surprised that Lu Yang would dodge, and she glared at him angrily: "You actually dare to dodge!"

Cheng Lin had disliked her for a long time, and he cursed directly, "Are you crazy? I'll hit you right now and see if you dodge! What's wrong with you?"

Lan Siqi didn't even glance at Cheng Lin, and continued staring at Lu Yang, saying, "Are you asking for a beating?"

"You'd better apologize to me right now, or you can forget about getting the mall project!"

Lu Yang almost burst out laughing. Lan Siqi seemed to think that the entire provincial capital was her personal fiefdom, and that such words could threaten her.

Lu Yang suddenly realized that Lan Siqi was not only bad but also stupid, which made him lose interest in continuing the conversation.

Lu Yang pointed to the sesame paste on the ground and said to the shop owner, "Boss, she ruined it, it has nothing to do with me. Make her pay for it."

After saying that, he called Cheng Lin to leave together without lingering for a moment.

Lan Siqi still wanted to stall Lu Yang, but Lu Yang didn't give her a chance.

He sidestepped Lan Siqi's advances and walked towards the door without looking back.

Lan Siqi was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she almost burst into tears.

Lu Yang didn't care about her attitude at all; he just felt extremely annoyed.

After leaving the restaurant, Cheng Lin rolled his eyes speechlessly: "What kind of people are these? Lan Siqi is a notorious spoiled young lady in our provincial capital."

"With a personality like that, she's already deterred a lot of people. How come she's still clinging to you?"

"You'd better stay away from her. Marrying a woman like that will shorten your lifespan by ten years!"

Lu Yang sighed speechlessly; he had no idea how Lan Siqi had gotten so attached to him.

After much thought, he could only come up with one possibility.

"It's probably because I won the mall project today, and Lan Siqi's family instructed her to approach me because they think I have potential."

Cheng Lin rolled his eyes dramatically: "We didn't even get to eat our fill. Moving to another place to eat is really disgusting."

The two went to another hot pot restaurant, and after eating, they drove off leisurely.

They didn't drive because they had drunk quite a bit.

After returning to Cheng Lin's house, he fell asleep immediately.

The next morning, Lu Yang arrived at the Industry and Commerce Bureau around 8:00 AM.

He first met with Director Liang Yi, signed the contract with Director Liang Yi, and officially won the mall project.

After securing the project, Lu Yang chatted with Director Liang Yi for a while before heading to the deputy director's office.

Deputy Director Shen had been waiting for him for a long time. When he came in, he gestured for him to close the door.

Lu Yang closed the door and sat down opposite Deputy Director Shen.

The two immediately began discussing the specific details of the shopping mall project, many of which were things that Director Liang Yi hadn't mentioned.

Lu Yang wrote them down one by one, reminding himself of the importance of this.

Seeing how serious he was, Deputy Director Shen nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing discussing the important matters, Deputy Director Shen suddenly changed the subject and brought up the Lan family.

"Lan Chongqi is the most promising person of the Lan family in this generation. He has a sharp eye and a calm temperament. It will definitely be beneficial to build a good relationship with him."

"Do you understand what I mean? I'll organize a get-together tonight, and we'll all go together. You can apologize to Lan Chongqi in person."

Lu Yang was somewhat bewildered and asked, "Why do you need to apologize? I didn't offend him. We only met once, and you were there too."

Deputy Director Shen also stirred things up. He stared intently at Lu Yang and asked, "You bullied Lan Siqi at the restaurant yesterday. Shouldn't you apologize to her parents?"

Lu Yang shrugged, saying helplessly, "She's the one who bullied me, okay? She almost dumped a bowl of sesame paste on my face."

"I didn't even argue with her, so how did it become that I bullied her?"

Deputy Director Shen fell silent immediately; he probably knew Lan Siqi better than Lu Yang did.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Then you should explain to Lan Chongqi tonight. Lan Siqi didn't say anything good about you in front of him."

Seeing Deputy Director Shen's reaction, Lu Yang roughly understood what was going on.

He nodded slightly and stopped dwelling on the matter.

After arranging a time with Deputy Director Shen, he got up and left.

As per Deputy Director Shen's request, the shopping mall must be renovated first.

After all, it needs to be built to the standards of a high-end shopping mall, so it needs to look fashionable and novel enough to attract more customers.

Lu Yang didn't have much insight into architectural design, but he felt that Yao Lili should have more experience in this area.

After all, Yao Lili is a fashion designer, and her aesthetic sense is better than his.

So he went straight home, picked up Yao Lili, and the two went into the mall together.

"This shopping mall went out of business so quickly? It was packed with people last time we came?"

Yao Lili couldn't help but sigh, it had been two years since they last came here.

Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh, "I never expected that a state-owned department store like this would go bankrupt so quickly."

At this time in his previous life, he had already taken Yao Lili to the south.

He didn't actually pay attention to when the shopping mall went out of business.

The two toured the entire five-story department store. After hearing her request, Yao Lili also seriously considered how to decorate the store.

She took out paper and pen, writing and drawing as she went, carefully considering every detail.

"I suggest that the overall color scheme should be based on red, orange, and white. Warm colors will make the mall feel more welcoming, and orange can also stimulate people's thinking."

"If there were more people here, it would feel even noisier, making the whole mall seem more lively..."

Yao Lili was thinking seriously, while Lu Yang followed beside her, offering his own suggestions.

The two spent a day finalizing the architectural style.

After finishing the design drawings, Lu Yang and Yao Lili went to an interior design and architecture company.

Lu Yang gave the design drawings that the two of them had come up with to the design company.

"You can make adjustments based on this, but don't make too many adjustments."

After handing them the blueprints, Lu Yang gave them a special reminder.

Manager Chen, who was in charge of receiving them, said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will do everything according to your requirements. It's just that this project is a bit large. If we take on this project, we won't be able to do any other projects."

"If you want to entrust the entire project to us, you need to pay a deposit first. I have roughly calculated that the deposit is 300,000 yuan."
