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

"The design is very nice." Chu Xiangyu smiled and said to Lu Yang, "Move the goods to the car."

After she finished speaking, she went to settle the bill with the stall owner, while Lu Yang and Zheng Yuntao packed the goods together and loaded them onto the truck.

Half an hour later, the two loaded all the goods onto the truck.

Chu Xiangyu paid the bill for Zheng Yuntao, who took the money, rode off on his three-wheeled motorcycle with a smile.

"Sister Chu, can we use the goods to offset that thousand yuan?"

After the two of them got into the car, Lu Yang hesitated for a moment and asked.

Chu Xiangyu smiled and nodded: "Okay, with a car we won't have to pay for shipping anymore."

Lu Yang mustered his courage and said, "We can sell in the cities along the way, and then come back to restock."

Chu Xiangyu's eyes widened immediately. After hesitating for a moment, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, you teach me how to drive on the road, and then we'll switch cars!"

That was exactly what Lu Yang meant. He started the car and drove quickly out of Yangcheng.

During the journey, Chu Xiangyu got out of the car and bought more than twenty bottles of water. Lu Yang took a sip of water and drove the car to a secluded road.

After confirming that there was no danger here, Lu Yang turned his head and said, "Let's switch places, and I'll teach you how to drive."

Chu Xiangyu's eyes lit up, and she switched places with Lu Yang.

She sat in the driver's seat and drove around twice with Lu Yang's help. Although she didn't drive very well, she could barely get the car moving.

Lu Yang lit a cigarette and said, "You can drive slower, don't rush."

Chu Xiangyu drove with complete concentration until it got dark, at which point Lu Yang switched places with her and they continued driving.

Chu Xiangyu used to think that driving was easy for others, not a physically demanding job.

But after driving for an afternoon, she found that driving was not easy at all; her back ached, her eyes hurt.

She leaned back in the passenger seat, intending only to take a nap, but when she woke up again it was already daylight.

"Have you been driving this the whole time?"

Chu Xiangyu was somewhat surprised, rubbed her eyes, and asked.

Lu Yang, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and bloodshot eyes, forced a smile and said, "Let's sell here. There's a square here."

Chu Xiangyu glanced outside and said, "You go to sleep, I'll handle this myself."

Lu Yang shook his head: "We're new here, it would be troublesome if someone caused trouble. Let's go together."

Chu Xiangyu unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car with Lu Yang. The two of them unloaded a large bag of clothes and started unpacking it.

"Hong Kong-made women's clothing, skirts and pants galore, don't miss out!"

Lu Yang stood in front of the stall, put on a red shirt, and shouted loudly.

Chu Xiangyu stared at Lu Yang in disbelief; she truly hadn't expected him to be so uninhibited.

Soon, a group of people passing by in the square were attracted, and Chu Xiangyu quickly perked up to attract customers.

The clothes they brought back were all stylish and unique, and you couldn't buy them anywhere else even if you paid money.

Moreover, the prices are cheaper, much lower than those in state-run department stores.

"Tops and pants are 15 yuan each, skirts are 20 yuan. Some styles only have a few pieces left, and once they're sold out, they're gone. If you like them, buy them quickly."

Lu Yang employed a scarcity marketing strategy, promoting the product with great enthusiasm.

Chu Xiangyu was sweating profusely from the busy work, because there were just too many people buying clothes.

An hour later, all two thousand pieces of clothing were sold out, much faster than in Chu Xiangyu's shop.

"Sister Chu, let's hurry up and go, the local merchants are coming over."

Lu Yang glanced around and saw several people with unfriendly expressions, so he immediately called out to them.

Chu Xiangyu smiled broadly and quickly got into the car. Lu Yang started the car and headed straight for the next city.

"After deducting costs, this trip netted 8,700 yuan. You put in a lot of effort, so here's 2,000 yuan for you!"

Chu Xiangyu smiled and counted out two thousand yuan, then swept it into Lu Yang's shirt pocket. Lu Yang quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Chu."

"It's not safe to keep the money in our hands. Let's transfer it to the Guangzhou Post Office for better security."

Chu Xiangyu's eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

The two arrived at the post office in the neighboring city, transferred the money, and immediately set up a stall in a square.

This time, Chu Xiangyu completely let loose, joining Lu Yang in promoting and selling the products, and they sold even faster than in the previous city.

After selling all the clothes in the two large bags, the two went to the post office to transfer the money and immediately returned to Guangzhou.

They each drove for a day, and when they returned to Guangzhou, they were both exhausted. They rested for two days at Zheng Yuntao's small house before they recovered.

On the afternoon of the third day, Lu Yang quickly washed up, asked Zheng Yuntao's mother to cook him two bowls of noodles, and then took them back to the small house.

Chu Xiangyu had just put down her chopsticks after finishing her bowl of noodles when Lu Yang said with a smile, "Let's call Zheng Yuntao and make another trip to the black market."

"You're really going all out!"

Chu Xiangyu looked at Lu Yang in surprise, she really didn't expect him to be so hardworking.

The two set up their stalls in two different cities this time, making a round trip in four days, and visited ten cities within a month.

That's equivalent to making seven trips in one month and ten days. After returning to Guangzhou for the last time, Chu Xiangyu felt numbness in her lower body as she held onto the car door.

"Let's go back. This isn't how you make money. You'll ruin your health if you keep going like this!"

Chu Xiangyu had seen people work hard to make money, but she had never seen Lu Yang work as hard as he did.

After getting out of the car, Lu Yang stretched his limbs and said, "Rest for two days, then we'll haul a batch of goods back."

"With autumn approaching, let's bring some autumn clothes back with us."

Chu Xiangyu felt as if she had been granted a pardon. She pushed open the car door, her hands trembling as she got out of the car. She walked into the small house, supporting her back, and lay down on the bed, wincing in pain from her back.

Zheng Yuntao walked over, dumbfounded, while eating rice noodle rolls, and exclaimed, "You guys are really made of iron! Haven't you gone back yet?"

Lu Yang leaned against the door, smiled, and said, "I'll go back once I've rested enough."

Zheng Yuntao nearly choked on his words, then gave Lu Yang a thumbs-up and said, "I'll treat you to dinner before I leave, you absolutely have to come!"

Lu Yang quickly thanked him, as making friends with reliable local people would definitely be beneficial.

After resting for two days, Chu Xiangyu and Lu Yang went to a local restaurant with Zheng Yuntao.

Zheng Yuntao served a feast of raw seafood, including raw shrimp, oysters, and sashimi, as if they had just been pulled from the river.

Chu Xiangyu was speechless and couldn't eat anymore. She ordered a dish of sour bamboo shoot fish and a dish of braised pigeon and sat down to eat.

In his previous life, Lu Yang had worked in Guangzhou for several years. Naturally, he ate river delicacies and drank wine with Zheng Yuntao, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

"Xiao Lu, if you come to Guangzhou in the future, just look for me. I guarantee I'll get you the lowest price!"

Zheng Yuntao, his tongue slurred from drinking, put his arm around Lu Yang's neck and said...

Lu Yang quickly agreed: "Next time I come, I'll bring you some local specialties from my hometown. You can't buy them here even if you have money!"

Zheng Yuntao's eyes lit up immediately: "Then come over as soon as possible. You won't have to pay for staying at my house from now on. I'll tell my mom!"

The two drank until the restaurant closed before returning to the Zheng family's small house.

The next morning, Lu Yang and Chu Xiangyu loaded a batch of goods together and drove straight back.

Two days and two nights later, the two drove their car to the entrance of Lijiaren.

Yao Lili ran out of the store and saw Lu Yang getting out of the car, and her eyes reddened.

"Did you go to Shanxi to mine coal? What happened to you?"

Yao Lili asked, her voice trembling with tears.
