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

Cheng Lin's expression was very serious: "Don't worry, I've been in business for so long, when have I ever messed up?"

"But you only have two months of vacation, and you're busy preparing all the supplies. I'm afraid you won't have enough time, right?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I was just saying that to Li Chen. I don't have to do everything myself."

"This is also an opportunity for me to send some of the Qingjin brand clothing over for sale and expand into the northern market."

"The rest can be handled by the managers in the south; just make sure to stock up on more goods."

Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some doubt, "In that case, you don't necessarily have to make a trip to Guangzhou."

Lu Yang smiled helplessly and said, "Yesterday I was in Guangzhou when a friend called to say there was a business deal to discuss, and I had to go there in person."

Cheng Lin stroked his chin: "How many days will it take you to leave?"

Lu Yang said helplessly, "It will take four days to go back and forth, and at least half a month."

"Don't tell anyone I'm leaving. Delay it as long as you can."

Cheng Lin knew Lu Yang's concerns. If He Yunwei knew that Lu Yang was gone, he would only become more unscrupulous.

"Don't worry, I told you you've been busy with the restaurant and shopping mall these past few days. I'll oversee things, so you don't need to worry."

Lu Yang calculated the time and said, "By the time I come back, you should be getting married soon. I won't miss your wedding."

At the mention of marriage, Cheng Lin beamed with joy. He waved his hand and said, "You can take care of it. I don't want to worry about anything else."

Lu Yang felt a little guilty; he hadn't expected Qian Jianyun to send news so quickly.

He originally thought that he would have to wait until he started school before he would hear any news about Qian Jianyun's real estate business.

Things are piling up one after another right now.

He could only deal with Qian Jianyun's matter first; that was a huge order, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He could only rush back as soon as possible; he couldn't leave everything to Cheng Lin and Li Chen to handle, since he was the major shareholder.

He solemnly said, "Our shopping mall will definitely be expanded in the future, and we need to move all the restaurants to the mall to operate."

"You're also in charge of the advertising space in the mall. Li Chen probably isn't interested in these things."

These are all very lucrative positions. Even without shares, Cheng Lin could make a fortune from them. Upon hearing this, Cheng Lin immediately beamed with joy.

Cheng Lin laughed and said, "You really are my brother. I was originally thinking that once the mall opened, you could give me a low price to get a few shops to run, but I didn't expect you to pull such a big move on me."

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've been following me, when have I ever let you suffer a loss?"

Cheng Lin grinned, revealing his bright white teeth. All he could think about now was making more money so he could continue to live a good life with Xu Huiying.

The two chatted for a while before going home to rest.

The next morning, Lu Yang and Cheng Lin arrived at the mall together. Li Chen and several of his men had arrived earlier and were talking to Ji Kang.

There were more than a dozen people standing next to Ji Kang, all of whom were carrying various decoration tools.

"We've come to take a look today and estimate the materials needed. If the deposit isn't enough, you might have to pay more."

Ji Kang had been to this shopping mall before, but back then it was a state-owned mall.

He didn't know what the inside was like now, so he could only prepare for the worst.

Li Chen put his hands in his pockets, nodded, and said, "Let's go in together when Lu Yang and the others arrive."

Lu Yang quickly ran to their side and said with a smile, "Let's go in together."

Li Chen nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and walked to the door first.

Lu Yang opened the mall door, pushed it open, and invited everyone inside.

The person next to Ji Kang said in a low voice, "It's alright, not too dirty."

Lu Yang couldn't help but smile awkwardly. He had already checked, and only the first floor wasn't too dirty.

The other two floors were very messy because they had been to the first floor before.

It's possible that the first floor was cleaned up just for that project bidding process; the other floors didn't receive this treatment.

However, he didn't say anything more, because these people would find out soon.

Sure enough, once they reached the second floor, everyone's smiles vanished.

Just cleaning out the second floor was already very time-consuming and laborious.

Not to mention that you'll have to renovate, which will take even more time and effort than a direct renovation.

If you're just doing a basic renovation, you only need to clean it up. But if you're redecorating, you have to remove all the tiles from the floor.

The paint on the wall couldn't be completely removed, so it had to be repainted.

Even if Lu Yang didn't know anything about interior design, he could tell that this was a physically demanding job.

“The three of you, slow and steady wins the race, so this work can’t be rushed. It will take at least half a month to finish each floor.”

Ji Kang said somewhat awkwardly that the situation was pretty much as he had imagined.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "We're not in a hurry; it takes time to prepare the goods."

"As long as you put your heart into it and don't make any mistakes, it doesn't matter if you're a little slow. Anyway, this mall has been closed for half a year."

Hearing Lu Yang say this, Ji Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was genuinely worried that Lu Yang and the others might be concerned about potential problems with the project, and urged them to finish quickly and efficiently.

Li Chen stroked his chin and said, "I brought these people with me, so feel free to use them."

"If you feel you don't have enough manpower, have them call back to the Perfume Bar, and I'll call some more people over."

Ji Kang quickly replied politely, "Okay, okay, I'll have to trouble you then."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the group went about their own business.

Ji Kang professionally inspected the entire building and led his team to clean up all the areas that needed cleaning.

Seeing him busy, Lu Yang and the others decided to roll up their sleeves and come over to help.

Cheng Lin also transferred all the less busy employees from the store to work there.

For an entire day, these fifty-odd people cleaned every corner of the mall.

Li Chen rubbed his lower back and exclaimed, "It's been at least five years since I've done this much work."

Lu Yang chuckled dryly. He hadn't done such heavy work for two years, but he still felt he could handle it. After all, he and Cheng Lin had both grown up doing manual labor.

Ji Kang and the others, looking disheveled, packed up their things, put away their notebooks, and said, "We'll go back and compile the information, purchase materials, and officially start work tomorrow."

Li Chen urged, "You all go ahead with your work, I'll have my men go with you."

"Since that grandson He Yunwei can't threaten you, we'll definitely have to start with the materials."

Ji Kang immediately put on a bitter face and said helplessly, "They really will stop at nothing."

Li Chen joked, "Isn't that how the world of martial arts is? You're too green, kid. If you want to climb up, you have to be ruthless."

Ji Kang didn't respond. He was a college graduate, which was considered a high-achieving student in those days.

He simply couldn't agree with Li Chen's way of speaking, which was typical of a socialite.
