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

Lu Yang thought Yu Xintong was really smart. Even Deputy Director Shen couldn't see how much his son had changed, but Yu Xintong keenly sensed that Shen Xuwen's soul had been replaced.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "But I haven't been able to see Deputy Director Shen. I don't know what he's busy with. I plan to try again tomorrow to see if I can see him."

Yu Xintong thought for a moment and said, "You want to talk about the operation of your newly built garment factory, right?"

Lu Yang nodded: "I've invested a huge amount in this garment factory, and I don't want to drag it out any longer."

"I plan to start production as soon as the factory is built, so I definitely need to get all the necessary permits from the Industry and Commerce Bureau and other relevant departments in advance."

Yu Xintong smiled and said, "I can help you with this."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "What are the conditions?"

Yu Xintong smiled and said, "I'm going to arrange for some of my relatives to work at your factory."

"I think you have a bright future. Working in your factory should provide you with stable employment."

Lu Yang quickly asked, "What do your relatives do?"

Yu Xintong said with a smile, "Don't worry, my relatives are all decent people and have good work abilities."

“They were working at other factories a while ago, but as you know, business at those factories is getting worse and worse.”

Yu Xintong knows more about life here than Lu Yang does. Many factories are gradually becoming less profitable, and Yu Xintong is trying to find a way out for her relatives.

He smiled and said, "We'll have them come over when the factory is up and running."

Yu Xintong nodded: "You have to complete all the procedures. My relatives must have the five social insurances and one housing fund."

Lu Yang nodded: "The benefits for the workers in my factory are definitely better than those in other factories."

"As long as the factory is doing well, I will never treat any employee unfairly."

The two got along quite well, and after completing the transaction, Yu Xintong paid for the meal and left quickly.

Lu Yang finished his meal slowly before leaving the restaurant, feeling much better.

Judging from the current situation, Shen Xuwen may know that the child Yu Xintong gave birth to is not his, which is why he decided to divorce her.

Otherwise, given Yu Xintong's family background, she and Shen Xuwen would actually be quite a good match.

Yu Xintong must have paid a price to keep him quiet and prevent him from telling the truth; there must have been a deal between them.

But in Deputy Director Shen's eyes, his son's divorce was unfair to Yu Xintong, and he might give Yu Xintong some face.

Lu Yang pondered for a moment and decided to go home and wait for news. At this moment, Li Chen called and invited him to a get-together.

After changing his clothes, Lu Yang went to Li Chen's perfume bar. Besides Li Chen and Cheng Lin, there were a few other people that Lu Yang was familiar with, all of whom were Li Chen's subordinates.

Li Chen waved to him and said with a smile, "I just managed to get two bottles of good wine, a 30-year-old Nu'er Hong to try, and I also got a lot of snacks to go with it."

Lu Yang also became interested and said with a smile, "In the past, only landlords could afford this kind of wine."

Li Chen slapped his thigh: "Of course! Who can store a jar of wine for 30 years?"

Cheng Lin stroked his chin and said, "I heard my father say that in the past, when a child of a landlord or a wealthy family was born, they would bury a jar under a tree."

"When this child gets married, or becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, we'll dig it up again and the whole family can taste this wine together to celebrate."

Li Chen stroked his chin and said, "That makes sense."

Lu Yang and Cheng Dui exchanged a glance, neither of them understanding the logic behind the words; it was just a casual joke.

The group continued drinking, and after a few rounds, Li Chen finally asked, "How's the paperwork for your garment factory going?"

Lu Yang smiled and said, "It's all taken care of. It should be done soon. What's up?"

Li Chen poured Lu Yang a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I've found out the details about the factory you asked me to inquire about in Harbin."

“It’s not easy to build a factory there, there are too many local powers, but there’s a way, you have to give them a 40/60 split of the profits.”

Lu Yang stroked his chin and asked, "Am I 6 and they 4?"

Li Chen chuckled dryly: "You 4, they 6."

Cheng Lin helplessly spread his hands and said, "What's the point of playing this game? Isn't this just a waste of time? We definitely won't make any money."

Li Chen gestured with his chin towards the people next to him: "I've done my best. My men have been talking themselves hoarse, and this is the best I can offer."

Lu Yang said helplessly, "Then I'll take a walk. I guess it's still because of my connections with the local government."

Li Chen's eyes lit up: "Are you confident?"

Lu Yang said, "I don't know any of them, but I'll ask around first. Maybe someone can help me."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow. It wasn't that he didn't trust Lu Yang's abilities, but he felt that Lu Yang had underestimated the complexity of the Harbin municipal government.

Lu Yang wasn't underestimating the internal situation of the government in Harbin; he just felt that they couldn't just sit idly by and wait for their doom.

Opportunities are not something you wait for; they are something you earn by being fully prepared and finding ways to seize them.

He quickly got up and called Zheng Wei, briefly explaining the situation and asking Zheng Wei to check which government he belonged to.

Zheng Wei readily agreed, cigar in mouth, and assured that he would definitely investigate thoroughly.

After hanging up the phone, he put his feet off the desk, stretched, and said, "Men, we have a job. Go to Harbin."

Lu Yang put away his mobile phone and returned to his seat to continue drinking with Li Chen and the others.

Li Chen naturally heard his instructions and knew that Lu Yang was first investigating the situation in Harbin, rather than rushing to Harbin to inquire about information, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He continued to urge Lu Yang to drink, and the group drank until midnight before finally going to sleep in a private room at the bar, feeling quite tipsy.

While Lu Yang was sound asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of a knife falling to the ground with a clang.

He rubbed his head and woke up in a daze, only to find the bodyguard grabbing a woman.

The woman struggled frantically but dared not utter a sound. When provoked, she bit down on the bodyguard's hand.

The bodyguard punched her in the neck, knocking her unconscious.

Lu Yang groggily got up and asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

These two bodyguards were regulars with him and were somewhat familiar with the people around him.

One of them said, "Lan Siqi."

Lu Yang scanned his surroundings and spotted a surveillance camera in the corner.

He immediately got up and asked Li Chen's men to check the surveillance footage, recording the entire process of Lan Siqi trying to harm him.

The next morning, he took Lan Siqi to Deputy Director Lan's house.

Deputy Director Lan was about to go to work when Lu Yang cornered her at home.

The moment he saw Lu Yang, his face darkened. Then, glancing at Lan Siqi standing next to him, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Lu Yang, what are you up to?"

His tone revealed strong dissatisfaction.

Lu Yang directly used his family's color TV to play the surveillance footage of Lan Siqi plotting to harm him.

Deputy Director Lan felt utterly enraged. He rushed up to Lan Siqi and slapped her hard across the face.
