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

Chen walked over on the carpet: "How about that? Pretty extravagant, right? Carpets are laid everywhere."

Li Chen said with his head held high in a very proud manner.

Lu Yang then noticed that the entire floor of the mall was covered with red carpets, and many large red lanterns were also hanging there, making it look exceptionally festive.

"That's great, very prosperous."

Lu Yang smiled and turned to Li Chen, saying, "Brother Chen, I'm so sorry, I've been busy with business in Yangcheng and haven't had a moment to spare. It's all up to you and Cheng Lin to take care of things here."

Li Chen waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's nothing. You've worked hard preparing so much stock. We'll have someone tally up the accounts later, and we'll each get three cents."

Lu Yang nodded, put his arm around Li Chen's shoulder and said, "Let's go eat, it's on me."

Li Chen followed with a smile, hoping that Lu Yang wouldn't come back for a year and could be a hands-off manager.

He could do whatever he wanted in the mall, and they would still provide all the goods he needed.

Not long after the two left the mall, Lu Yang received a call from Cheng Lin.

"You're back! I'll treat you to dinner, bro."

Someone must have seen Lu Yang at the mall and told Cheng Lin about it.

Lu Yang immediately urged, "Chen Ge and I are just about to go eat. Come over to our usual restaurant."

Cheng Lin responded and immediately hung up the phone.

Given his impatient nature, he would probably arrive at the restaurant before Lu Yang and Li Chen.

Sure enough, when the two arrived at the restaurant, Cheng Lin had already ordered the dishes, catering to the tastes of all three.

As soon as Cheng Lin saw Lu Yang walk in, he immediately gave Lu Yang a bear hug.

"Dude, these past six months haven't been easy, have they? Those three bastards are all in Yangcheng."

Cheng Lin looked at Lu Yang helplessly and said.

Li Chen, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said nonchalantly, "What's so difficult about it? Those three guys combined are no match for Lu Yang alone. If all else fails, just beat them all up and make them behave."

Cheng Lin looked at Li Chen helplessly: "It's not that easy. Lu Qing and Lu Yao have already fought, but Lu Jianjun is Lu Yang's father after all."

Lu Yang calmly said, "Lu Qing is having an affair with Boss Sun, and she's pregnant."

"Lu Yao and Lu Jianjun have already left Yangcheng. I only found out about it after I finished the exam."

"As for where they went, I have no idea. In short, those two won't be hanging around in front of me for a while."

Cheng Lin's eyes widened immediately: "I remember you said on the phone that this Boss Sun is the biggest gangster in Yangcheng, and on the surface he's in real estate."

"This guy isn't married yet. If Lu Qing really gives birth to a son, wouldn't that be his eldest son?"

Lu Yang calmly said, "Lu Qing is Lu Qing, and a child is a child. Boss Sun doesn't like Lu Qing that much."

Cheng Lin put down his chopsticks, suddenly losing his appetite.

Li Chen casually replied, "Never mind him, let's eat and drink well, we'll talk about it later."

"That little wench can only rely on gangsters to make a living, she's not anything special, why are you afraid of her?"

"If she's at Du Miao's level, you should keep an eye on her."

After hearing Li Chen's words, Cheng Lin finally relaxed. He poured himself a glass of wine and invited Lu Yang and Li Chen to drink together.

Lu Yang hadn't seen the two of them for several months, and the three of them had endless topics to talk about.

Before they knew it, it was dark. The three of them were a little tipsy, so they went to Li Chen's bar to sing karaoke in a private room.

When Lu Yang woke up again, he was already lying in his own bed at home, and he didn't even know how he got back.

He rubbed his swollen head, struggled to get up, threw off the covers, and when he went out, he found Yao Lili sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"You're finally awake. I was shocked when Li Chen's guy brought you back yesterday. It was the first time I'd ever seen you so drunk."

Yao Lili quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen while talking. Soon she brought a bowl of hangover soup to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang drank the hangover soup in a few gulps, and finally felt a little better.

"Has everyone else gone out?"

He put down his bowl and realized that he and Yao Lili were the only two people left in the room.

Yao Lili said with a smile, "They all went out for a stroll. If I hadn't seen that you hadn't woken up yet, I would have gone with them."

Lu Yang rubbed his head and said with a smile, "We haven't been back for a long time. Let's go out for a walk, and maybe sit at a restaurant for a while and chat with Cheng Lin."

Yao Lili smiled and nodded, then went out with Lu Yang.

Actually, Lu Yang wanted to find out what had happened in the provincial capital while he was away, and what the current situation was at the shopping mall.

Li Chen was right there yesterday, so he couldn't ask too many questions. Now he finally has a chance to ask.

When someone arrived at the main branch of the food and beverage bar, the lobby manager was yawning and chatting with Xu Huiying.

Lu Yang asked, somewhat surprised, "You're on vacation?"

Xu Huiying smiled and said, "Today is Saturday, of course I have the day off."

"You're such a busy person, you're always elusive."

Lu Yang smiled wryly, "How can you make money if you're not busy? Cheng Lin is definitely busier than me every day."

Xu Huiying shook her head: "He's not as busy as you. He can hardly get involved in the mall's affairs; Li Chen is the one who's busy."

Lu Yang's heart sank upon hearing this; he had underestimated Li Chen's ambition and ability.

“What is Cheng Lin usually busy with? Sometimes when I call him, he says he is busy and we can only chat for a few minutes before he hangs up and goes to work.”

Xu Huiying said, "He is currently focused on running restaurants, and he already has restaurants in several nearby provinces."

"Your restaurant business in Yangcheng is probably not as good as the one here. Cheng Lin is really working hard in the restaurant business."

Lu Yang nodded: "I know about this. He opened at least twenty restaurants in total."

"Although business in the north is not as good as in the south, the annual income is still considerable."

Cheng Lin can earn a lot of money in a year. He has a good business sense. If he hadn't been used by Boss Sun in his previous life, he could have gone further and done better.

Just as they were chatting, Cheng Lin walked in carrying a case of beer.

"Honey, let's have hot pot tonight."

He yelled at Xu Huiying as soon as he entered the door, making Xu Huiying so embarrassed that she could dig out the three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

She quickly got up, walked to Cheng Lin's side, and whispered, "Lu Yang is here."

Cheng Lin's eyes lit up. He peeked over at Lu Yang and, upon seeing him, smiled and said, "How's it going? I'm doing a good job, aren't I?"

"Many businesses are on holiday during this period, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, business is even better than usual."

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and invited him to go to the office to talk.

Yao Lili and Xu Huiying chatted outside. After entering the office, Lu Yang asked directly, "Li Chen has completely taken control of the mall's business now and won't let you interfere?"

Cheng Lin's expression immediately turned serious as he said, "It's not that we can't interfere at all, but he's placed his own people in key positions."
