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

Lu Jianjun carefully picked up a piece of meat and placed it gently in Lu Yao's bowl.

"Xiao Yao, don't rush, let's take it slow. We don't need to save too much money. Let's leave when we've saved up a thousand yuan."

Lu Jianjun comforted him, saying, "You can continue to make money when we get to Shanghai."

Lu Yao thought that made sense, so he wasn't in a hurry anymore. After all, money can't be earned in a short time.

Before going to university, he always thought that as long as he went to university and worked hard enough, he would eventually become wealthy and successful.

However, after this period of experience, he deeply understood that making money was not easy. He was lucky if he could barely make ends meet, let alone become rich and powerful.

Lu Yao felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment. He really couldn't understand why Lu Yang could earn so much money, but he couldn't.

From childhood to adulthood, apart from failing to get into university, she was inferior to Lu Yang in every way.

But now, his situation is completely different from Lu Yang's, and he feels frustrated every time he thinks about it.

"Xiao Yao, don't worry, we'll face any difficulties together."

Seeing Lu Yao's dazed expression, Lu Jianjun couldn't help but sigh.

The two finished their meal in silence. Lu Jianjun then looked up and said with some helplessness, "I originally thought that Shiyue tabloid would accept your artwork, but I didn't expect them to refuse."

Lu Yao gave a mocking smile: "After you left, I took a closer look at that tabloid and realized that it was a business under Lu Yang's control. How could he possibly accept your artwork?"

"Luckily you didn't leave this address, otherwise Lu Yang would have already come looking for you. Be careful in the future."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianjun was so startled that he almost dropped his chopsticks.

"I will definitely be more careful in the future and will never submit articles to Shiyue again."

"I was wondering why that magazine didn't accept your manuscript. It turns out it was because of Lu Yang. That wretched boy."

Lu Yao sneered. In fact, he knew very well what Lu Yang thought of him.

Lu Yang had long hated him, so how could he possibly give them money?

He disagreed with coming to Guangzhou at the time, but Lu Jianjun was overconfident and always felt that he could get some benefits from Lu Yang.

Now look what's happened, he's a dead man.

Lu Jianjun was also searched for by Lu Qing's people; both of them are now people who cannot be brought to light.

By the time Lu Yang finished his exams, Lu Jianjun and Lu Yao had also saved up enough money.

While buying groceries, Lu Jianjun secretly went out and bought two train tickets, waiting for two or three in the morning, when most people were sleeping soundly, so the two of them could sneak away quietly.

The plan went smoothly. Lu Yao and Lu Jianjun, carrying their luggage, quietly boarded the train under the cover of night.

They bought tickets for the midnight train, which departed shortly after they boarded. Once the train left Guangzhou, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, at least they had escaped this time.

When Han Bingcheng sent someone to retrieve the painting from Lu Yao three days later, they found the house empty; the person had been gone for several days. The messenger immediately informed Han Bingcheng of this.

Han Bingcheng sneered and said disdainfully, "This guy does have some brains. Forget it, it's too easy to catch him. Let's ignore him for now and get back to what we're doing."

His assistant immediately nodded: "After the New Year, the amusement park project will continue."

"Since our real estate bidding failed, we need to do something else."

Han Bingcheng sneered: "This amusement park can only make a few cents. It's just to curry favor with that third-generation Red."

"If it weren't for his status, I wouldn't bother with this good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and whore."

The assistant stood to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

After Han Bingcheng finished speaking, he quietly said, "There's another project that needs to be put out to tender. Should we participate?"

Han Bingcheng stared intently at him: "Do we have any other choice? We can't just rely on painting a few pictures of that dead man to make money, can we? Besides, that dead man has run away."

The assistant was somewhat embarrassed: "It was my oversight."

Han Bingcheng shook his head: "I knew he was planning to run away from the moment you said he sent Lu Jianjun over."

“But this kid is prone to extremes. If Lu Jianjun hadn’t been allowed to go, he wouldn’t have lasted this long.”

"Fortunately, he's painted quite a few paintings already. We'll talk about his matter later. You should focus on preparing for the bidding process for this project."

The assistant nodded and quickly said, "I'll instruct my staff to prepare right away."

Han Bingcheng waved his hand, and he immediately and quietly left Han Bingcheng's office.

The moment he closed the office door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. After pausing for a moment, he quickly walked towards the office area.

Han Bingcheng rubbed his temples before turning to look at his secretary beside him.

The pretty female secretary immediately walked to his side, squatted down, put her arm around his waist, and smiled ambiguously.

After the exams, Lu Yang transported the last batch of goods to the Northern Shopping Mall, bought gifts for everyone, and then returned to the provincial capital with Yao Lili.

Lu Yang was eager to see how the shopping mall in the north was doing. He hadn't had the energy to manage it lately; Li Chen and Cheng Lin had been handling it all.

He has always trusted Cheng Lin, but he doesn't trust Li Chen.

After arriving in the provincial capital, Yao Lili went back to rest, while Lu Yang went straight to the shopping mall.

As soon as he entered the mall, he noticed that the security guard on the first floor looked familiar.

"Brother Lu, you're back!"

Before Lu Yang could speak, the security guard said with a smile.

Lu Yang immediately came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Zhou Gang, Brother Chen arranged for you to work as a security guard here?"

Zhou Gang smiled smugly and said, "I'm the security captain, in charge of security. There's nothing much going on here, so I'll just stand at the gate and watch the excitement."

Lu Yang nodded. Zhou Gang was very good at fighting and had been in jail before, but he was a very righteous person and handled things calmly. He was indeed quite suitable to be the security captain and maintain the safety of the mall.

With him standing at the entrance, anyone with eyes wouldn't dare cause trouble in the mall; otherwise, they'd all have to walk in and walk out sideways.

After chatting briefly, Lu Yang headed into the mall.

He transported 80% of the goods in this shopping mall from the south, and the sales are quite good.

Lu Yang looked around and felt that the mall's development momentum was even better than he had expected.

Moreover, their own clothing brand, "Qingjin," is also selling quite well.

In the north, shopping malls don't pay much attention to brand effects. Once you've bought something, as long as the product quality is good, you'll usually buy it again.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Look at the daily turnover, it's quite substantial. If I had known that opening a shopping mall in the north was this profitable, I would have opened one long ago."

"That's right, tens of thousands of yuan can be made in a single day."

Li Chen's voice came from behind him, his tone smug.

Lu Yang turned to look at Li Chen and said speechlessly, "Brother Chen, how come you walk without making a sound?"
