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

Lu Yao clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Sister, you're so great! But you need to think of a stage name, and you need to use it a bit more. It's not unique enough as it is now."

Lu Qing was exhausted, but she also felt that what Lu Yao said made sense.

Many actors use stage names, and actresses must be beautiful.

She considers herself to be good-looking, but it won't be easy for her to stand out among a group of beautiful actresses.

But now she doesn't have the money for plastic surgery, so she can only attract attention by highlighting other aspects of her appearance.

Lu Yao thought for a moment and said, "The stage name should sound sophisticated, and we can't tell the truth about our background. Just say that our father in the provincial capital was a politician, but he passed away early."

"Your mother remarried and no longer cares about you. In short, you have to live a respectable but miserable life..."

Lu Qing sat on the bed in the room, listening carefully, and for the first time felt that her younger brother Lu Yao was actually quite reliable.

At least what Lu Yao said was all things she hadn't expected, and everything he said was correct.

Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "My stage name will be Lu Mansha, and my parents will have the characteristics you described..."

She knew she was at a disadvantage in this area, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll learn to sing. Other talents are also hard to improve in a short time."

Lu Yao sighed and said coldly, "Mom called me. She and Shen Xuwen both called the police!"

“I told Mom you’re with me, and Mom sent you fifty yuan. Please be understanding of her. Although she married Liang Jingwei, it’s her second marriage after all. Plus, after what Grandma did before, she’s not having a good time in the Liang family.”

Lu Qing took the fifty yuan from Lu Yao's hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

She didn't realize it normally, but now that she's in trouble, she suddenly understands the preciousness of family ties.

She put away the money and nodded. Lu Yao reminded her, "Get some rest and stay in good shape."

After saying that, he glanced at the time: "I have class this morning, so I'll do it first."

After Lu Yao left, Lu Qing was left alone in the room. She lay on the bed for a short while and then fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark, and there was no sound in the room.

Lu Qing felt an unprecedented loneliness. She got up, dressed, ate a bowl of noodles, and then went to a nearby bar.

She could sing here, and she had thought of two popular songs, planning to practice them specifically.

Lu Yang returned to school for classes. After the principal confirmed that Lu Yang had not lied, he felt a mix of emotions.

He called Lu Yang into his office alone. Lu Yang was a little surprised and asked in astonishment, "Did you want to see me about something?"

The principal said calmly, "I heard you bought a two-story house near the school."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised; he never expected the principal to know about his house purchase.

He had only bought the house a few days ago and had just found a renovation team to start the renovation.

So he nodded and said, "Yes, that's true. What's wrong?"

The principal adjusted his glasses and said, "Our school is going to expand, and your house will be included in the expansion. I suggest you open a restaurant."

"If you want to open one, I can help you with the business registration."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Thank you. Does this mean we're expanding into every area? Has the news spread yet?"

The principal tilted his head and looked at Lu Yang: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yang chuckled dryly. He and Cheng Lin's business in the north earned a net profit of 200,000 yuan every month, of which he would receive 140,000 yuan. With his savings, he could easily buy a few more properties.

The principal immediately understood what he meant: "Don't put all your energy into making money. Your grades are good, you'll definitely be more successful if you study hard!"

Lu Yang quickly thanked him. He knew that the principal had wronged him and that he had helped him because he knew that his family was in poor condition.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that although he had encountered a bunch of terrible relatives, he had also met many good people.

After thanking the principal, he immediately left the school to inquire whether there were any houses for sale near the house he had bought.

Fortunately, although this place is close to the school, there are still people willing to sell it as long as the price is fair.

Lu Yang bought two more apartments and urged the property owners to complete the transfer procedures, fearing they might back out.

One of the houses originally belonged to a restaurant, but the owner and his wife were getting a divorce, and the house was divided among them as property.

Lu Yang spent money to renovate three houses. He hired many people and the renovations were completed in a week, costing a total of more than 18,000 yuan.

When he was too busy, he even called Lin Hongshan over to help, so the renovation was done like a restaurant in the provincial capital.

Lin Hongshan hesitated for a moment, then said, "We don't have enough manpower. Can you manage to open four stores at once?"

Lu Yang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Manager Lin, then I'll trouble you to put in the effort and train more employees."

"You can take care of these. Our school also has some work-study programs. I'll ask around to see if there are any students willing to take part-time jobs."

Lin Hongshan was speechless. He pointed at himself and said, "You're not going to expect everything from me, are you? I'll be exhausted."

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I emailed to ask about the situation at the restaurant in the provincial capital. Ge San has already found a replacement manager, and he will arrive the day after tomorrow."

Lin Hongshan breathed a sigh of relief: "If he has time, it will be much easier if Zhou Zhimin is also involved."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Doesn't Zhou Zhimin have to go to work?"

Lin Hongshan said with a smile, "He didn't study much and didn't like working a nine-to-five job, so he never had anything to do."

“He’s been running around helping me all this time, and I’m starting to feel a little embarrassed. I asked him, and he said he wants to work in the shop, but he doesn’t want to go to a regular job.”

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "He can do the purchasing. He just needs to deliver the goods. He doesn't need to be in the store at other times, but he needs to be able to be contacted at any time."

Zhou Zhimin had dealt with Lu Yang a few times, and he was a decent person.

In addition, their restaurant cannot function without the participation of locals, especially locals like Zhou Zhimin who have extensive connections, as this can save them a lot of trouble.

Lin Hongshan nodded, a hint of a smile in his eyes: "How much do you pay him per month?"

"Three hundred, a little less than yours."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and continued, "Try to schedule a time when you have some free time, and have him sign a formal contract."

Lin Hongshan immediately felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "No need to rush."

"We'll have to go back to your house during winter break, so we can open the shop again when we get back!"

Lin Hongshan waved his hand and said, "Let's not. The sooner this shop opens, the better. Money is being spent like water every day. After so long, we haven't seen any return on our business in Guangzhou!"

He's now terrified whenever he sees Lu Yang spending money; he feels like he could never spend all that money in his lifetime.

Seeing his insistence, Lu Yang nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "If you can't manage it all, we'll open three restaurants and another bookstore."

"The school library also has many books that are incomplete, so we can fill in the gaps."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and immediately remembered the various comic books he had read in his previous life, and a plan formed in his mind.
