Just moments ago, Li Yunfang and Zhu Gangtai were talking about Lu Weifeng, but unexpectedly, Zhu Gangtai ran into him as soon as he came home that evening.

At that moment, Lu Weifeng was carrying an exquisite gift box and a black leather bag, preparing to close the elevator and go upstairs.

Zhu Gangtai walked to the elevator and saw that the door was about to close. Just as the elevator door was about to close, he suddenly slipped in.

Lu Weifeng had been leaning lazily against the elevator wall, looking rather listless. When he saw someone come in, he slightly raised his eyelids and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

As soon as Zhu Gangtai entered, Lu Weifeng noticed his triumphant appearance, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

He joked, "Hey, did you strike it rich today? You look so radiant, like you've won the lottery."

Bathed in the warm yellow light of the overhead lamp, Lu Weifeng's figure was enveloped in a soft glow.

He leaned casually against the wall, his sharp suit slightly wrinkled by his posture, which only made him look more relaxed and languid.

The watch on his wrist reflected the light slightly under the lamp, intertwining with the light from the overhead lamp, as if draping his whole body in a soft halo.

Even the cigarette he held between his fingers seemed to burn with a touch of languidness in the hazy atmosphere.

Zhu Gangtai naturally knew how outstanding his college classmate and friend was; he was not only exceptionally talented but also remarkably handsome.

Otherwise, those female classmates, knowing he had a girlfriend, would have insisted on proving themselves to be special and deliberately tried to ruin the relationship between the young couple.

After all, Lu Weifeng and his girlfriend were very different in terms of background; one was a college student and the other was just a high school graduate.

It's just that the woman's family is well-off, so she can learn the skills she likes.

But their futures are uncertain; one has a bright future, the other's is unpredictable.

The female students who were able to get into university were naturally resentful that such an outstanding person like Lu Weifeng had such a girlfriend.

Everyone wanted to try their luck.

Zhu Gangtai looked at Lu Weifeng's appearance and shook his head with a smile, "What fortune? I just encountered something good today that made me feel good."

Lu Weifeng flicked his cigarette ash and asked with great interest, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Zhu Gangtai patted him on the shoulder, "My business is not important. I haven't seen you in a long time. What have you been up to lately?"

Before Lu Weifeng could reply, as if she were avoiding something, she noticed the gift box in Lu Weifeng's hand and changed the subject, asking curiously, "By the way, who is this gift box for?"

Lu Weifeng's eyes lit up at the thought of his wife, and he said with doting affection, "This is for my wife. She seems to be in a bad mood lately and hasn't been going shopping much, so I bought her a gift to cheer her up."

Zhu Gangtai thought of Lu Weifeng's wife. All of them, his classmates, had witnessed the couple's relationship. The two had a lot of conflicts in the past because of the big difference in their own conditions.

He couldn't help but say, "It hasn't been easy for you all over the years, but now it seems that among all our classmates and friends, your relationship is the most stable! You've been very devoted to Guan Xiaoqing. You're financially independent now and have settled down in this city. You still remember the kindness she showed you over the years, which is quite good."

After finishing his sentence, Zhu Gangtai didn't intend to continue the previous topic. He asked Lu Weifeng, "What are your plans for the future? Are you going to keep working for others? There's no future in working for others all the time."

Lu Weifeng stubbed out his cigarette, somewhat dissatisfied with his classmate's perfunctory tone when talking about his wife, and emphasized, "My feelings for my wife are entirely willing."

"As for my career, I'm doing just fine working now. Unlike you locals who have family backgrounds and connections to rely on, I don't dare to take risks on my own. I don't have the confidence to take risks in business. I'm doing just fine as I am now. I have a wife and children now, and I have to think more about them, so I don't have the spirit of taking risks."

Lu Weifeng thought of Zhu Gangtai from his previous life, who had always been an entrepreneur but always failed. In addition, he was casual about relationships and his family was not very stable.

However, they are locals, and although their family is ordinary, they can enjoy many policy benefits simply because they are locals.

His parents also laid a good foundation for him.

At least they won't have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter, nor will they have to fret about making a living for their families.

He remembered that Zhu Gangtai's family later received a large sum of compensation for the demolition, and his parents were able to support Zhu Gangtai's family well just by collecting rent.

But as I said before, Zhu Gangtai's unstable family life will naturally hinder his career development.

Lu Weifeng has a stable family, but he doesn't have the resources to work alone. So even after being reborn, he never thought about starting his own business. He thinks his current company is pretty good, and the boss is generous.

He'll be the boss's secretary, which involves a lot of mundane tasks, but once he's gained experience, the boss will transfer him to another company for further development, which is pretty good.

If he has the means in the future, he'll invest more in real estate and companies with growth potential.

Everyone in the same industry knows exactly which companies have potential and which projects are worth investing in.

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Zhu Gangtai asked Lu Weifeng, "When do we have time to get together with our old classmates? After graduating and starting work, we haven't kept in touch much, and we're all quite estranged now. If we weren't neighbors, judging from your appearance, you wouldn't have any contact with me."

Lu Weifeng nodded, "Okay, let me know when you've set a time. But I'm just a worker, so my schedule isn't entirely up to me. Please don't mind if it happens that I'm unavailable."

Zhu Gangtai admired his old classmate from the bottom of his heart when he thought about how he went to work honestly every day, but he still couldn't help but nag a little.

"What's so good about working for your boss from dawn till dusk every day? It's tiring and you get mistreated. You should have some savings by now. Use that money to start a small business; the income would be much better than your current fixed salary."

Lu Weifeng just smiled and remained silent.

Many of Lu Weifeng's classmates are locals. Local men are unwilling to work for bosses and are all obsessed with doing business.

Even if you don't have much experience in doing business, you still have to go out and try your luck.

They also have a favorite saying: "As long as you put things up there, someone will buy them; as long as you put out enough, someone will touch them; as long as the quality is good, you can keep doing business forever; smile at everyone, and you won't lose customers; as soon as a customer opens their mouth, you've got the business; don't be afraid of small sales, just be afraid of having few customers."

So just by listening to this rhyme, you can tell how obsessed they are with doing business. Whether the business is good or not, you'll only know after you've done it.

Seeing that his old classmate was silent, Zhu Gangtai stopped arguing.

The two stepped out of the elevator and walked towards their respective homes.
