The community had only been developed for a few years and was in a rapidly developing area, so the housing prices in this community were not low and the greenery conditions inside were also good. This was bought by Lu Chengyu’s parents. When they originally bought it, the two elders said it was for him to get a wife. However, as soon as the house was renovated, they died unexpectedly.
After entering the elevator and pressing his floor button, no one in the elevator greeted each other. Lu Chengyu didn’t recognize these people anyway. When he got to the 6th floor, he got out of the elevator, took out the key and opened the door.
The house was empty. After cleaning it, Lu Chengyu took out his notebook, plugged in the network cable in the house, clicked on a few songs and played them. When he walked to the balcony, he found that the cactus he had raised was still alive. He watered the cactus, then he leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the rockery spraying water in the center of the community, and suddenly felt a little uninterested.
His parents were both intellectuals of the older generation. Later, his father resigned from his position as a teacher and became a department manager of a company, and his mother was a university professor. Therefore, when choosing a new house, they attached great importance to the greenery of the community. However, the couple did not live in the new house for more than a day before they left. Although his uncles and aunts didn’t care about him, they also didn’t plot against him after his parents left. This was also being kind in another sense. After all, who didn’t have a family? How could most people care about him? They couldn’t take care of other people’s children, not to mention he was no longer a child.
After calling the water delivery company to deliver purified water, he sat in front of the computer and looked for some information he wanted to use. Lu Chengyu touched his chin and thought, when he died in his previous life, he had already graduated for nearly nine years, but it was only such a short period of time. In the next nine years, the economy had developed rapidly, and several leading companies had become well-known to everyone. At the class reunion that year, when Chen Jin, who was the manager of Liang’s branch, was praised by everyone, he mentioned the momentum of several companies. It seemed that Liang’s development momentum was very good.
At that time, he didn’t know anything about his parents, so he went to Liang’s for an interview when he was about to graduate from college. A few years later, only when Liang Deyou mocked him in a condescending manner, did he learn that the scene where his parents, who were killed when their car was hit by a falling object from a height, happened at a project of Liang’s Real Estate Company.
Because the construction company failed to take adequate safety measures for this accident, the court finally ruled that the construction company was fully responsible and compensated Lu Chengyu a large sum of money. However, who was willing to trade the lives of their loved ones for such money?
Later, when he met Chen Jin and Liang Deyou on their honeymoon in the hotel, Liang Deyou said this in a disdainful tone. At that time, he thought, how could there be such a fu**ing thing in the world, eating it in the name of love? He was extremely jealous, spoke evil words, was condescending, and thought he was a love saint. Such an idiot almost thought he was the protagonist of a romantic idol drama?
So he couldn’t maintain his grace and beat that self-righteous bast**d so hard that he made Liang Deyou cry for his father and mother. Before leaving, he even kicked his third leg. He didn’t know if he could use that leg in the future. Unexpectedly, he died unexpectedly that night. He didn’t know how aggrieved Liang Deyou would be when he wanted to take revenge on him but found out that he had died.
Probably the moment before Liang Deyou was beaten, he never imagined that he, who was always polite, would beat someone, and beat him with such rhythm and style. There was no way, he had always been a very civilized person, but he was not a coward.
“Huading International…” He looked at the official website called Huading International with a smile and leaned lazily on the sofa: “This is the one.”
After taking the car to the securities brokerage company to open an account in the afternoon, he directly bought some stocks of Huading International, which surprised his commission broker. After all, Huading International was now replaced by old and new people, and the economy was in turmoil. Many investors were not optimistic about this company, and the stock price had reached a new low in recent years. He did not expect that anyone would buy so many Huading shares at this time.
However, as a broker, he didn’t say much and bought according to the client’s wishes. As for buying up or down, that was the client’s own business.
Nowadays, the stock market was getting more and more sluggish, and some were even in the green all the way. In the past few years, there was so much enthusiasm for stock trading, but now these people were much more cautious than before.
For Lu Chengyu, Huading International was a blue chip stock. He had never thought about making a fortune from this stock market, but he was very confident in this company and did not want to waste this good opportunity. You know, if you want to buy Huading International stock in another month, it won’t be at this low price.
Huading International was currently in a period of turmoil. It was rumored that there was a fierce internal power struggle in Huading. The Young Master of the family wanted to take over, while the older generation wanted to control the Young Master, so it was very lively. But he remembered clearly that in the end Huading’s young master took control of the situation and became the overlord in the industry.
Thinking of this, Lu Chengyu sighed, they are all young people, then why is there such a big difference?
Seeing that it was getting late, he found a Chinese restaurant and ordered a few dishes. Before he was halfway through eating, he saw a man in a crisp suit and a sweet-looking woman walking over.
“Chengyu?” The man in a suit glanced at the food on his table and asked in a dry tone, “How are you doing recently? Come and sit at our house when you have time.”
“Brother Dong,” Lu Chengyu greeted the two politely. He then saw Lu Dong sitting down. So, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, “I didn’t expect to meet you here. I am about to graduate recently and have a lot of things to do. I will definitely visit your home when I have time.” Lu Dong was his uncle’s son, he studied abroad for two years and did well after returning to China. He was considered a young talent of their old Lu family. However, he didn’t have much contact with this cousin, so he usually spoke more politely than intimately.
“That’s good.” Seeing that Lu Chengyu didn’t seem to have any intention of asking his relatives to help, Lu Dong breathed a sigh of relief and turned to introduce the person beside him.
He said, “This is my girlfriend Shen Min. We are planning to get married in the second half of the year. You must come then.”
“Such a beautiful and elegant beauty is actually my future sister-in-law. Brother Dong is so lucky.” Lu Chengyu smiled and picked up the purple clay teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Shen Min, and then poured a cup for Lu Dong. His tone was naturally filled with admiration, “This younger brother will definitely arrive on time for your wedding.”
Shen Min was praised by Lu Chengyu, so Lu Dong was very happy. Shen Min had a good family background and was beautiful. He didn’t know how many people envied him for marrying such a wife, so he said on a whim: “You are about to graduate. Have you found a job? If not after implementing it, it is better to work in our company. Although I am not doing well, I am still a department manager. I can still arrange a career for you.”
In his memory, the wife Lu Dong married seemed to have been the daughter of their company boss. Every year during the Chinese New Year, Lu Dong had always been the figure held in high esteem by relatives. Could it be that this was Shen Min? However, he later heard that Lu Dong was having an affair with another woman, and he was not sure what the outcome was for the couple.
Shen Min was well-educated. Although she didn’t know which relative of her boyfriend the young man in front of her was, her words and deeds were very polite. She picked up the tea cup and said thank you, took a sip and then put it down. She took a casual look at the young man and found that he behaved very gracefully. When he poured tea for her, his movements were also very standard and showed a gentlemanly demeanor. So she couldn’t help but feel a little more favorable to the person in front of her.
“I wonder who this is?” She hesitated, smiled and pushed Lu Dong’s shoulder, “You haven’t introduced me yet.”
“I forgot, he is my cousin, a top student at Q University, and he will be graduating this year.” Lu Dong paused and then added, “It’s not easy for my younger brother. As a sister-in-law, you have to take more care of me from now on.”
Shen Min pushed again and frowned: “What are you saying?” It’s okay to say this in private, but it’s a bit too much to say it in front of others, even if it’s your own brother.
Lu Dong also realized that his attitude was wrong, and smiled apologetically at Lu Chengyu, “Brother, I still have something to do, so I’ll take the first step.”
“Okay,” Lu Chengyu seemed not to notice Lu Dong’s intention to show off, smiled at the two people and said, “Brother Dong, sister-in-law, please go slowly. Let’s sit together when we have time later.”
Seeing Lu Chengyu’s attitude, Lu Dong no longer wanted to show off and hurried away with Shen Min. Lu Chengyu looked at Lu Dong’s back, then the smile on his face faded a little, and he sneered and continued to eat.
The food at this Chinese restaurant called Bai Weixuan was delicious and the charges were quite high. The world was huge, so don’t waste food.
After finishing the meal and paying the bill, a hand holding a wallet suddenly appeared behind him, “Sir, your wallet fell off.”
He looked back and saw a man in a black suit. He looked pretty good. His expressionless face made people think that this person was a bit cool and noble. He had seen a lot of this kind of people in his previous life and knew that this kind of person was not easy to get close to, so he didn’t intend to talk too much. He thus took the wallet, thanked him with a smile, took out the card and handed it to the waiter: “Help me settle this gentleman’s account.” Then, he turned to the man who wanted to refuse and said, “I hope you don’t refuse, these are my thoughts.”
In this world, there were not many people who could find money without knowing it. What’s more, he needed to use his ID card in many places recently. There were also bank cards in it. It would be troublesome if he lost some of the documents he applied for at the securities brokerage company.
If someone picked up something and returned it, that was called kindness. If he didn’t return it, he had no place to complain, right?
The cashier glanced at the man behind him, quickly found the price list between the two of them and started bargaining. After a moment, she said with an apologetic smile: “I’m sorry, guest, the balance on your bank card is insufficient.”
“Oh?” Lu Chengyu took the bank card handed over by the cashier and changed it to a gold card without explaining. “Try this one.”
This kind of thing was embarrassing for the cashier. She had also encountered this. Most people would be a little embarrassed when encountering this, or would explain that they got it wrong, etc. It was really rare for someone to be as calm as this gentleman. But this kind of attitude made people feel that he really took the wrong one unintentionally, otherwise why would he be so calm.
After paying the bill quickly, Lu Chengyu said to the man behind him: “Thank you for your generous act. If it weren’t for you, I would be in big trouble.” He pointed to the ID card and driver’s license in his wallet, then raised his hand. “Goodbye.” Although his face was so calm, his heart was bleeding. What kind of person could eat up his card balance in one meal, and there were still thousands in it!
At this moment, he realized the true meaning of a sentence, that is, don’t show off, there may appear a thunder strike!
His hands were shaking as he walked out the door.
After Lu Chengyu left, Yan Mu asked the cashier: “How much did he pay just now?”
The cashier looked at the price list: “Mr. Yan, the total was eight thousand six hundred and thirty-eight, but because you have a VIP card, all drinks are 6.20% off.” Mr. Yan was a regular customer of their store, and his meal was usually not so expensive, but today he came with a few friends and ordered more dishes and an extra bottle. The price of cellared old wine was not very cheap.
Yan Mu nodded when he heard this, glanced at the door of the restaurant, and saw the young man just stop a taxi and leave without looking back.
He frowned. If he remembered correctly, this person seemed to be included in the job applicants list left after the company screened them?
