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

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "I asked her, and she let it slip herself. She said that a male classmate lent her the house, but it's possible that the male classmate rented it for her."

“Yesterday I called my friend and had someone look into who that male classmate was. Actually, his family is also very poor; he comes from an ordinary working-class family in a county around here.”

“He worked part-time at school and was very frugal with every penny he had. It was because Hong Xiaojuan wanted to live in this neighborhood that her male classmate decided to rent her an apartment here.”

"But in Hong Xiaojuan's words, this was just a place that a friend lent her to live in. If I didn't know who the male classmate who helped her rent the house was, I would have thought that the house was occupied by a rich second-generation who had plenty of houses."

Xu Huiying frowned immediately, and Cheng Lin lit a cigarette, took a puff, and his expression gradually turned cold.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Lin said quietly, "According to you, she and Lu Qing really are the same kind of people."

Lu Yang said coldly, "I just haven't inquired about her in detail. It's impossible for someone like her to date one male classmate at the same time. She might even be treating all the high-quality guys around her like fish in her pond."

Cheng Lin scratched his head and said speechlessly, "What a waste of time. You should stay away from her in the future."

These words were naturally spoken to his wife, Xu Huiying.

Xu Huiying felt like she had swallowed a fly. She nodded slightly and said helplessly, "Lu Yang, I'm sorry, it was my oversight. In the future, if this happens again, I will find out about her character myself before making a decision."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "It's perfectly normal for you to want to help your junior. This woman's appearance is indeed quite deceptive."

The next morning, Lu Yang arrived at the construction site, where most of the work had already been completed, with the two construction teams working very fast.

Li Chen walked up to him with a cigarette in his mouth, yawned, and said, "At this rate, it should be finished by the end of next month."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "That's great, then I can start training the employees."

"We'll get things sorted out before the start of the semester, and then you and Cheng Lin can manage the factory."

Li Chen exhaled a smoke ring and said speechlessly, "You really treat me like your subordinate now."

Lu Yang gave a wry smile and said, "We're making money together, what's with all this talk of bossing people around?"

Li Chen glanced at him. If anyone else dared to talk to him like that, he would have smashed their head with a shovel right now.

But since this person was Lu Yang, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Just then, Lu Yang received a call from Zheng Wei.

Zheng Wei sighed and said, "Boss, I've investigated everything I could. I'll be back soon, and we'll talk in person then."

Lu Yang responded and reminded him to be careful in everything before hanging up the phone.

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "The person you hired seems to be from the south, right? He doesn't have any connections in Harbin, so what can he possibly find out?"

Lu Yang didn't think so. He smiled and said, "Leave professional matters to professionals. Knowing people and making good use of them is also a skill. The person I hired may not have any other skills, but he is first-rate at investigating things."

Li Chen didn't take it seriously and didn't think much of it. The two walked around the construction site for a long time before going back to their respective places.

As soon as it got dark, Zheng Wei returned to the provincial capital.

Lu Yang invited him to stay at a hotel, and the two met in the hotel room. Zheng Wei handed Lu Yang a stack of documents.

"As expected of the officialdom, it's a complete mess, with intricate relationships and a very deep murky place."

As he flipped through the documents in Lu Yang's office, he couldn't help but remind him, "Boss, this factory isn't absolutely necessary to build. Even if it is to be built, it doesn't necessarily have to be in Harbin."

After reading through all the information, Lu Yang looked up and said, "I know what I'm doing; I just want to understand the situation first."

As he spoke, he pointed to one of the documents: "This logistics manager of the land bureau is worth trying to win over."

Zheng Wei couldn't see anything about this person that was worth pursuing, but Lu Yang must have his reasons for saying that.

Zheng Wei nodded and said with a smile, "This logistics minister is quite well-off. He's not short of money, and on the surface, he seems to have a smooth life with no problems whatsoever. Even if we wanted to curry favor with him, we wouldn't know where to start."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Then you should continue your investigation. Treat it as a publicly funded trip and let him stay in Harbin for a while longer. Find out everything about these officials, no matter how small."

As he spoke, he gave Zheng Wei 1 yuan: "Eat what you want, drink what you want, and do what you need to do. Don't try to save money."

Zheng Wei's eyes lit up when he saw the 10,000 yuan, and he said without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will definitely do the job well."

After saying that, he handed Lu Yang a cup of tea.

After finishing his tea, Lu Yang got up and went home.

He had just arrived at the entrance of their residential compound when he encountered Hong Xiaojuan and a man.

The man looked very young, about the same age as Lu Yang and the others. The two were chatting and laughing, and seemed to have a good relationship.

Lu Yang originally didn't want to pay any attention to the two people; he just wanted to walk around them and get home to rest as soon as possible.

But Hong Xiaojuan didn't think so. She immediately ran to Lu Yang's side and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Lu, we meet again. Let me introduce you. This is my friend Huang Jinghai."

Lu Yang almost burst out laughing. This Huang Jinghai used to hang out with He Yunwei.

It's just that this guy got away quickly last time, so he didn't go down with He Yunwei.

He remembered that this guy had been very close to He Yunwei in his past life. He Yunwei, in turn, had some connection with Han Bingcheng; these people were all connected in some way.

Lu Yang couldn't help but wonder if the despicable people he encountered in his past life would be reunited with him in this life, and would even approach him in different forms.

Lu Yang simply nodded indifferently, after all, it showed that these two had no direct grudges against him, and he didn't want to waste his time on them.

But these two clearly didn't think that way.

Hong Xiaojuan caught up with Ouyang in a few steps and said with a smile, "Boss Lu, my friend and I have always wanted to do business. We heard that your business is doing well, so we really want to be friends with you."

"When are you free? Would you do us the honor of having a meal with us?"

"Huiying and I are also good friends. We even live in the same neighborhood. It's fate."

Lu Yang stopped and looked at Huang Jinghai: "You and He Yunwei tried to scheme against us last time, but you failed. Were you quite disappointed?"

Huang Jinghai smiled somewhat awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I was just confused for a moment. Later I realized that targeting you wasn't too much of a problem, so I stopped plotting against you with He Yunwei."

"I genuinely want to be friends with you, so please do me the favor?"

Lu Yang said with a straight face, "In that case, let's make a date for tomorrow. I'll invite Li Chen and Cheng Lin, and we'll have dinner together."
