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

Qian Jianyun said helplessly, "Do you have any good ideas to help Xingran? Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to continue in this industry."

Lu Yang calmly said, "No need to think about it. Xingran is not stupid. Moreover, with such high military merits, he will definitely have a bright future as long as nothing unexpected happens. There will always be someone willing to marry him."

Qian Jianyun sighed helplessly: "You're really optimistic."

Lu Yang shrugged: "With such a complicated family background, what else can Li Xingran do if she can't think straight?"

“I used to think his grandfather was quite reliable, but now it seems that there isn’t a single reliable person around him.”

Qian Jianyun couldn't help but burst into laughter, then pointed to himself and Lu Yang: "Aren't we the two most reliable people around him?"

Lu Yang smiled helplessly: "I just hope that Li Xingran has found a reliable girlfriend and won't be dragged down by his reputation."

"I'm currently competing for a project to build a public hospital. Are you interested in participating?"

Lu Yang, resting his chin on his hand, said, "That's exactly what I'd like to do. Who wouldn't be happy to participate if there's money to be made?"

Qian Jianyun rested his chin on his hand and said, "I was originally going to work with my brother-in-law, but he had something come up and had to do another project. That freed up some time, so I thought of you."

After saying that, Qian Jianyun leaned closer to Lu Yang and said, "I know someone around you who does investigations very accurately. Li Xingran asked you to investigate Xiao Yuxin, right?"

Lu Yang chuckled dryly: "If you see through something, don't say it out loud. It's better not to let the people in Kyoto know about something that's so offensive."

Qian Jianyun gave a mocking laugh: "You've never even met Li Xingran's two cousins."

"His two cousins, the older one is only two years younger than him, and the younger one is four years younger than him."

"A person who didn't get into university and joined the army can't endure hardship."

"Fortunately, my emotional intelligence is good enough to get by in the army."

"My younger brother got into a second-tier university, but he didn't study very hard. He dabbled in business with other people, but he wasn't very successful."

"I heard that he's planning to enter the entertainment industry again and open a film and television company. Before the company even opens, he's already been involved with several celebrities."

Lu Yang was speechless; he really didn't know much about Li Xingran's cousin.

He was a little confused and asked doubtfully, "Don't families like theirs educate their children?"

Qian Jianyun poured Lu Yang a glass of water and teased, "Do you know what my grandfather thinks of his two grandsons?"

Lu Yang knew, of course, that Qian Jianyun was referring to Old Master Li, but he certainly didn't.

Qian Jianyun didn't expect him to answer, but instead joked, "If you use up all your abilities, your children and grandchildren will definitely be inferior to others."

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "According to you, for Old Master Li to be so easily manipulated by his second wife, he's definitely not the kind of person who's used every trick in the book."

On the contrary, I think he's not very smart, unless he's pretending to be confused.

Qian Jianyun sighed helplessly: "If that's what you think, then I have nothing to say. But he was indeed a very shrewd person when he was young, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to reach his current position. His family background wasn't good; back then, they were part of the local gentry and were said to be very wealthy."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow after hearing this; he didn't want to continue the topic.

Ultimately, this is a matter for the Li family, and has nothing to do with him.

From these few words, he learned why Qian Jianyun didn't befriend the other two children of the Li family, but instead chose Li Xingran, who seemed to be less favored, because Li Xingran was the only successful member of their family in this generation.

The two chatted for a while longer about the construction of the public hospital, and agreed to sign the contract on Monday. Qian Jianyun then got up to say goodbye.

Lu Yang hesitated for a moment, but still dialed the number Li Xingran had left again, and the same person answered as before.

Lu Yang directly told him he was looking for Li Xingran, and the other party asked him to wait a while before Li Xingran quickly answered the phone.

"Are you doing alright? Has your family been giving you any trouble?"

Lu Yang knew all too well how unpleasant it was to manipulate, control, and make things difficult for the elders in his family.

Li Xingran laughed and said, "It's okay, I'm fine. I told my dad about Xiao Yuxin's character, and he was very angry."

"Somehow my grandma found out about this, and she stormed into my grandpa's house and beat up her stepfather. The marriage is now off."

“My grandma also said that they will decide my marriage in the future, and it has nothing to do with my grandpa and his family. They should stop interfering.”

Lu Yang said helplessly, "But you probably don't know many people in that circle, do you?"

Li Xingran didn't care at all: "I have my own way. But you, you should be careful. Recently, Han Bingcheng, whom you asked me to investigate, has been making a lot of small moves. It seems that he also has connections with some underworld people. The underworld I'm talking about is not that Boss Sun from Yangcheng."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised and quickly asked, "Who are you talking about, the underworld?"

Li Xingran seemed unsure of what to say. After a long silence, he said quietly, "Anyway, be careful. I received word that the gangster seems to be targeting you recently, and it seems like you have a grudge against him."

Lu Yang thought about it carefully, then sneered and said, "Could it be Lu Yao?"

Li Xingran was somewhat surprised: "Lu Yao, wasn't that guy dead?"

Lu Yang briefly recounted the story of Lu Yao, leaving Li Xingran utterly astonished.

He said disdainfully, "This guy finally regained his freedom, but instead of living a good life, he wants to cause you trouble, and he's not even learning to be a good person."

“I understand the matter. I will find a way to find him and make him receive the punishment he deserves.”

Lu Yang warned, "If Han Bingcheng gets involved with him, you must be very careful. Neither of them are good people; they'll stop at nothing to get things done."

Li Xingran said nonchalantly, "I've seen plenty of vicious people. Don't worry, I have experience dealing with this kind of person."

The two chatted briefly, then Lu Yang hung up the phone and returned to school to continue his classes.

In July, after finishing his exams, Lu Yang went to check out the construction site that he and Qian Jianyun had set up.

He arranged for several reliable employees to supervise the construction, while he took Yao Lili back to the provincial capital.

The garment factory in the provincial capital is only half-built, and the people Lu Yang arranged are still here watching over it.

With Li Chen in charge, no one could cause them trouble. However, when they first started building the factory, people would occasionally come to inquire about what kind of factory they planned to build there.

Many factories are not doing well these days, and business is getting harder every day.

At this point, Lu Yang did the opposite and built a factory in the north, which attracted a lot of attention.

The day after he returned, news of his return spread throughout the already small business district of the provincial capital.

Many people also try to get to know him indirectly.

Lu Yang declined all offers, but curiously inquired about Lan Siqi and the others' recent situation from Cheng Lin and the others.

He was just gloating, wanting to see how miserable Lan Siqi was now.
