Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Chapter 344: Mount Everest Project: Let the warm wind from the South Asian Indian Ocean blow into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [Request for full order]

"It's true that we meet everywhere in life. Mayor Xu, we meet again."

Just a casual glance around the banquet hall.

Lu Yang found a middle-aged couple who were staring at them eagerly in a corner far away.

He walked over and greeted him with a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, Brother Lu, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances after a year."

Xuchang Pingdao.

This elegant middle-aged man had a complicated expression on his face as he looked at Lu Yang who was coming towards him with a smile.

This young man is truly remarkable.

As a mentor, I really didn't make a mistake. No, I did make a mistake. I had overestimated this young man as much as possible, but I still underestimated him. Judging from his achievements in just a few years, he might be even better than I overestimated.

Mrs. Xu next to her couldn't wait to ask, "Are you Lu Yang?"

"You are indeed a handsome man. No wonder girls like you. Unfortunately, I heard that you are married. Where are your wife and daughter?"

"Why not bring them?"

As a mother, she couldn't help it and couldn't stand seeing a married man getting too close to her daughter.

So I won’t say anything extra.

Just point out that the other person is married.

The implication is: We already know your family background, and as parents we will never allow our daughter to have an affair with a married man. If you are smart enough, you should know when to stop and keep your distance from our daughter.

Lu Yang turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman who was speaking. As expected, beauty is passed down from generation to generation. Xu Siqi is already beautiful enough, and her aunt Du Lingling is also charming and ripe like a peach. The middle-aged woman in front of him is somewhere in between the two. Their appearance is also 70% similar, except for the difference in temperament.

Compare the official aura of Du Lingling.

Xu Siqi has the innocence, romance and student-like bookishness.

Xu Siqi's mother, whether in her words or her eyes, is capable and realistic, and she has more of a business aura about her.

"This must be Mrs. Xu, right? I heard that Mrs. Xu works at a TV station and has the power of life and death over many programs in the station. Now that I see her, she is indeed quick-tempered. But I can understand. Are you threatening me?"

If he were to persuade her kindly, Lu Yang would naturally stay away from Xu Siqi.

But if you don't know the truth, you will start threatening right away.

I'm sorry, but I really can't do that.

Madam Xu said with a gloomy expression: "What do you mean by this? Young man, you have to think it over carefully. My patience is limited..."

"okay."

Xu Changping suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted his wife's words.

He whispered, "Don't forget that this is your daughter's savior. Can you please speak properly?"

It seems that he doesn't have much to do with this lady.

I can only give you good advice.

At first glance, he is obviously a "henpecked man". To use a saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, a "henpecked man" is a man who is afraid of his wife.

After all, his rapid rise in status over the years was inseparable from the help of his wife's family.

Mrs. Xu was obviously unhappy about being interrupted, but she still held it in.

Yes, this is her daughter’s savior, so she does have some self-restraint.

So, he took another deep breath.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'm sorry, please forgive me for a mother's concern and protection for her daughter."

As he said this, he actually bowed to Lu Yang.

Unambiguous.

No discounts either.

Then she raised her head, her face regained her previous arrogant expression: "Boss Lu, right? Thank you for showing up in time and saving our Sisi in a critical moment. Her aunt has already told us the details. There is 10 yuan in this card, and the password is our Sisi's birthday. In addition to repaying the 8 yuan you took out to help our Sisi deal with the police, the extra 2 is our thank you."

As he spoke, he handed over a bank card.

Lu Yang thought it was quite interesting, so he reached out and took it.

"2?"

"It's not a small amount, okay then."

As he said this, he put the card in his pocket, turned around and waved back.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave you now. You don't need me to remind your daughter where she is in the banquet hall right now, you can find her by yourselves."

Having said this, he strode away.

"you……"

Mrs. Xu pointed at Lu Yang's back and wanted to say something, but Lu Yang had already left.

So he turned around and yelled at Xu Changping: "Look at this guy. He just left without saying anything. Isn't that a bit rude?"

Xu Changping had tolerated her for a long time. The reason he didn't say anything just now was because he wanted to give his wife some face in public. Now that Lu Yang has left, he finally doesn't have to tolerate her anymore.

So he said with a livid face: "Why, do you still want him to thank you?"

Mrs. Xu's chest heaved with anger. "Mr. Xu, what do you mean by that? When did I ever tell him to thank me? Yes, he saved our daughter, but didn't I also express my gratitude? 2 yuan is not a small amount, what else do you want from me?"

2 yuan in 1991 was quite a lot when you think about it.

But it depends on who it is for.

"Oh, really? You thanked him, but you are humiliating him, right?"

Xu Changping looked at the conceited and foolish woman in front of him. Sometimes he really didn't want to talk to her much, for fear of lowering his IQ.

But I can't do it.

This is my wife. Who told me to be blind in the first place?

So he suppressed his anger and said, "Did I tell you before I came here that this young man named Lu Yang has a big business? I told you to be more low-key, not too arrogant, put away your bad temper and airs. We are here today to thank him. Did you listen? I told you not to make decisions on your own, and let's discuss anything. Did you listen?"

"You don't have it. You don't have it at all."

"Even with your background, you could have easily investigated this Xiao Lu, but you didn't. You didn't ask anyone to investigate at all. You are still as arrogant as before, looking down on anyone except the children of high-ranking officials in your compound. Du Yuanyuan, you take it for granted. You think that a mere 2 yuan is very important to others, right?"

"Then you are wrong. He can give 8 yuan to your daughter and let your daughter use it to retaliate against the two colleagues who wanted to harm her. That is not all he has. It is just a drop in the bucket for him."

“People just don’t care.”

"Don't think that he really loves your daughter and wants to have two relationships with her just because he gave her 8 yuan. Maybe he only helped her out because I was his mentor and your sister Lingling also has a good relationship with him. What you think is just what you think. Now I tell you that he may be a multi-millionaire, or even a billionaire in the future. Can you understand?"

Just vent your anger directly.

Feeling relieved, the elegant middle-aged man turned around and left: "Foolish woman, I have nothing to say to you, I'm going to go see our daughter." Du Yuanyuan, who stayed where she was, had a dark face.

quite a while……

"I just don't believe there really is such a young multimillionaire, a future billionaire. Xu Changping, surnamed Xu, if you lie to me, I will not forgive you."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone, thought for a while, and finally dialed a number.

"I, your sister, if you dare to hang up the phone, I will rush to your place and bring you back to our parents."

There was no doubt that the call was made to Du Lingling, and from the tone of her voice, it seemed that this elder sister was very domineering and unusual.

At least Du Lingling really didn't dare to hang up on her.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, sister. Is this okay? Tell me what you want to say. I'm busy right now. By the way, have you seen our niece? Please tell Sisi that I'll go see her after I'm done with my work."

"Don't change the subject. Let me ask you, are you hiding something from me?"

"Huh? No!"

"Really? Think about it again. I asked you to find out about Lu Yang before, and you told me that he was just a small businessman in the countryside with no background. But your brother-in-law didn't say that. Who of you is lying, you or your brother-in-law?"

"Ah? Did my brother-in-law tell you that? Then let me think about it again. It's true! Lu Yang is indeed a country businessman from a small place, but his business has been quite big in recent years. As for his background, I really can't tell. If we really want to talk about background, your sister, hehe, can be considered as one of his backgrounds."

"Stop laughing and joking. I'm asking you something serious. Your business is pretty big. How big is it?"

"Well, probably just a few million investment, and then tens of millions in profit. Anyway, I'm not sure. I've said it before, his business is quite big, and it's not limited to my little piece of land. He has investments in many places.

For example, in the small county town of his hometown, it is said that there are thousands of rural female workers who depend on him for their livelihood.

For example, in Guangzhou, my brother-in-law might be more familiar with it. He had strongly recommended Xiao Lu to attend the Canton Fair as a representative of local enterprises. Later, it seemed that there was an import and export company there, which also belonged to Xiao Lu.

As for Shencheng, I'm not sure about that. His business has now spread all over the country. If you ask me how much he is worth, I really can't answer you, sister, please forgive me."

"Du Ling Ling, you're itching for trouble, aren't you? Just wait, I will not let you off."

"Snapped!"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Siqi's mother's face turned pale and blue.

It turns out that I am the clown.

It's ridiculous, really ridiculous. It's just 2 yuan, it's really just 2 yuan, but I actually wanted to use it to deal with a multi-millionaire. Everyone saw it, and I was the only fool.

"Xu Changping, everyone with the surname Xu blames you, why didn't you remind me?"

Even though she knew she was careless, she was still unwilling to admit that she was wrong.

How could it be her fault?

I did nothing wrong. It was that damn girl Lingling who was wrong. She cheated me, and also the guy named Xu. He was also deliberately making fun of me. It must be like this. They are all in cahoots.

So she looked around the banquet hall with a gloomy face.

If he wanted to find trouble with his younger sister, he would need to take a plane across more than 1000 kilometers, but if he wanted to find trouble with Mr. Xu, he just had to look for him carefully in the banquet hall. This Mr. Xu went to find his daughter, so it was just right, he could go find his daughter and ask her clearly.

A big battle between husband and wife is about to break out again.

Where is Lu Yang?
Lu Yang was bragging to Mou Qizhong.

That's not right. At the moment, it's mainly Mou Qizhong who is bragging, and Lu Yang is mainly responsible for listening. There is also a large group of people flattering and fawning on this man who is about to become the cash king of domestic businessmen.

What about 5 large airplanes? Any one of them is worth tens of millions of U.S. dollars. How much money can you make from all this?

I'm afraid it would scare people to death if I told them.

Mou Qizhong is of course feeling very proud and has the capital to brag, such as the one he is bragging about now.

The vast land to the west of Xichuan, including the plateau and Gobi Desert, were all developed into the second Jiangnan and the largest granary in the country.

So how do we do it specifically?

It’s very simple. Let the warm wind from the Indian Ocean in the southern subcontinent blow in. In addition to bringing warmth, it can also bring rain. In this way, the glaciers will melt, the Gobi Desert will become fertile land, and it will naturally become the second Jiangnan.

Then the problem is coming.

How can we allow the warm winds from the Indian Ocean in the South Subcontinent to blow in?
Simple, just make a hole in Mount Everest.

With the money, the explosives, the courage and the guts, there is nothing in this world that Mou Qizhong cannot accomplish.

"How is it? Is this project okay? Is there anyone here who wants to invest?"

Mou Qizhong, who had drunk a little too much, started yelling like this.

The result was naturally silence.

Lu Yang was also listening and felt a stomachache. No, it was the pain in his stomach from trying to hold back laughter.

It turns out that the famous Mount Everest project already had a draft so early.

It seems that in a few years, maybe it will really be put forward as a project. Brother Mou is indeed Brother Mou, and he is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

Just because no one is being fooled now doesn’t mean that no one will be fooled in the future.

In the end, Mou Qizhong felt bored when he saw no one responded, and just then he saw Lu Yang arriving, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to leave, leaving only Lu Yang.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Lu."

At this time, he was no longer as drunk as before, and it was obvious that he was not drunk at all.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "No, I'm just fascinated by what you're saying. Opening a hole in Mount Everest to let the warm wind from the Indian Ocean in South Asia blow in, this plan sounds very grand and suits your temperament, Brother Mou. If you can do it, I'm sure you'll go down in history."

Mou Qizhong's eyes lit up: "Could it be that you are also interested, Brother Lu?"

Lu Yang's tone was blocked, and he laughed dumbly and said: "Of course I am interested, but there are also great risks. I am not talented, but I happen to have a project on hand, and the risk is not too high. Otherwise, Brother Mou, can you come and help me think about it?"

After saying the nice words, Lu Yang handed over a newspaper he had sorted out.

There are only two words circled in red above: [Save the Market]

Mou Qizhong took the newspaper, looked at it carefully, and said with rapid breathing: "This is..."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "With your intelligence, Brother Mou, you should be able to guess it. Yes, I am going to do a favor for the Pengcheng government. This rescue is the work of the entire Pengcheng government, and the fund is as high as 200 million. With our country backing us, there is no reason to lose. If we enter the market now, the risk should not be too great. We can kill two birds with one stone. What do you think, Brother Mou?"

Mou Qizhong slapped his thigh and said, "Great, really great, why didn't I think of it? It doesn't matter whether we can make money from this opportunity, but if we can do a favor for the Pengcheng Municipal Government, this frontier of reform and opening up in the future will belong to us two brothers."

really.

He is more ambitious than Lu Yang thought.

When he heard that doing this would do him a big favor to the Pengcheng Municipal Government, he decided to do it. As for how much money would be invested in the end, that was beyond Lu Yang's imagination.

"Then Brother Mou, let's make a deal. There is no time to lose. Giving timely assistance is far better than icing on the cake. This should be done sooner rather than later. Otherwise, things will change, brother."

"Well, what you said makes sense. How about you wait for me for a few days? Although the big plane has been delivered, the payment has not been received in full. When the payment is fully received, I will pay the balance to you first, and then we can go south to Pengcheng together. How do you think?"

"Of course, I'll listen to you, brother."

"Hahaha, great! Come on, let's go drink."
