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

Holding that well-maintained hand tightly, Lu Yang's palm was slightly warm but his strength was steady, without a trace of ambiguity.

"Sister Tan is straightforward."

He wore a smile, but his eyes held the sharp edge of a true businessman.

The team is handling the contract details; now it's time to finalize the deal.

Now that the matter has been settled.

Lu Yang didn't linger any longer. With a few polite words, he skillfully blocked Tan Xisong's attempt to persuade him to stay, and then got up to take his leave.

"Wait a minute."

Seeing that he was leaving so soon, Tan Xisong got up to see him off, but hesitated slightly and said, "That girl Mingzhu... little brother, you should have met her, right?"

There needs to be a bond between people to go from strangers to building a relationship.

The bond between them was Yin Mingzhu.

Tan Xisong brought up Yin Mingzhu at this time out of a desire to maintain their relationship, even though Yin Mingzhu was no longer working under her.

Lu Yang turned his head and said, "She said she was going to resign from her job at CCTV. I didn't know about this. Sister Tan, do you know anything about it?"

Tan Xisong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She only found out later that her younger brother didn't seem to have a very good relationship with his sister-in-law.

There seem to be some grudges that I am unaware of.

But to be fair, when Mingzhu got into trouble, she was followed at night and injured. In her fury, it was this little guy who helped her resolve the whole situation.

It is said that the suspect who harmed Mingzhu met a tragic end that even onlookers felt some sympathy for him.

She dared not lie, and met Lu Yang's gaze, saying, "I know about this, and it was my suggestion that she start an advertising planning company after resigning."

Lu Yang nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Nothing more was said.

He turned and continued walking.

Since the other party is involved in this matter, and may have even contributed money, then this can no longer be considered a private matter...

We could consider having that woman handle both of these advertising campaigns.

But it's only something to consider.

It can only be said that the other party's chances of winning the bid have increased by another 20%.

After Lu Yang left, Tan Xisong patted his chest.

Smooth the rippling waves.

She gasped for breath and said, "At such a young age, he actually has a stronger aura than his mother. Mingzhu's brother-in-law... tsk tsk tsk... is quite something."

She quickly grabbed the landline phone on her desk and started calling Yin Mingzhu, "Your brother-in-law is something else, he has such a powerful aura..."

"smoothly?"

"It went smoothly, of course. Look who's in charge; everything's been agreed upon, and now it's just a matter of signing the contract."

"It's higher than you estimated."

"Yes, you can start preparing now. Collect a list of products from your brother-in-law's group's companies, and create several design plans. Don't be afraid of the trouble or the hard work..."

"Although we have a relationship, we still need to show the proper level and sincerity. If we can successfully secure these two advertising deals, we will have taken the first step and will no longer have to worry about not having any orders to sign. Moreover, I have a feeling that after the broadcast of the TV series 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' its commercials will also become very popular. We must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

As expected, Yin Mingzhu's newly established company will include her.

It's even quite possible that Yin Mingzhu's decision to resign from CCTV was partly due to her encouragement.

Collusion between insiders and outsiders?

That's not necessary.

She only needed to casually mention it when discussing advertising with investors, and the advertising design company she partnered with Yin Mingzhu would be inundated with orders.

In addition, there's Lu Yang as a powerful backer.

Even if Lu Yang doesn't give them any resources.

It's just using his name.

Lu Yang's sister-in-law, who wouldn't give her some face?

Who would have nothing better to do than cause trouble for those two girls?

Those who know the situation might deliberately let them miss out on some highly profitable orders.

Look...

I have connections!

It has the background!

We have the resources!

I have connections!

They also don't have to worry about random people causing trouble for them.

Why doesn't Tan Xisong seek collaboration with others?

Why was Yin Mingzhu, who was just a newcomer at CCTV, specifically chosen?
It's all because they've got their eye on Yin Mingzhu, who has Lu Yang backing her.

Of course, she wouldn't say such a thing out loud.

Relationships don't necessarily need to be used; they just need to exist.

Lu Yang left the CCTV building.

He had originally planned to go back to the Great Wall Hotel to wake up the little lazy cat who was exhausted last night. He intended to leave the rest of the day for the other person.

They have it tough too.

He came all this way to deliver it... well, even someone with a heart of stone would have been half-melted.

As for the other half, since Mingyue is still living there, and I promised to take care of her for the rest of my life and be good to her for the rest of my life, I can't just break her up and let someone else move in.

I just got on the bus.

Then I received a phone call from Xiao Jun and Mu Qizhong from the Kunlun Hotel.

The question was about when to go to CCTV to discuss cooperation with the station's leaders.

Lu Yang told them directly that they had already talked to each other.

The two of them were dumbfounded.

When did you talk about it?

"Just now."

Lu Yang gave a calm reply.

"What?"

"Has everything already been agreed upon?"

"Then what are we doing here?"

"Yeah, what are we doing here? If you're so capable, you might as well not have invited us."

The two men shouted into the phone, one after the other. Lu Yang picked at his earwax and said calmly, "I've already negotiated the advertising fee for the prime-time drama 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' on CCTV-1. The price is unexpectedly low, much lower than either of you could have negotiated individually. We'll discuss the specific arrangements when we get back. As for the naming rights and broadcasting rights for the Asian Games, I haven't had time to negotiate those yet, and I don't plan to do it myself. I'll leave it to you two. You're free to do whatever you want. Is that alright?"

Lu Yang understood the principle of giving a slap to someone and a date in return.

Everyone cares about saving face.

Just because you're capable and have connections doesn't mean you can handle everything perfectly. You also need to allow others to shine and contribute; otherwise, don't invite them to work in the same industry.

"That's it."

Mu Qizhong nodded approvingly.

"terrific."

Xiao Jun also gave a thumbs up.

"That's more like it. Alright, leave it to us."

Mu Qizhong assured him over the phone.

“We’re not trying to show off, but to share your burden, to give you more time to spend with your family, and… you know… don’t overthink it.”

Xiao Jun followed closely on the phone.

His sister called him yesterday before boarding the plane, but then inexplicably turned off her phone. He couldn't get through no matter how hard he tried, and even when he called her bodyguards, they were tight-lipped and evasive, only saying that the young lady was safe and that she didn't want him to talk about it.

Damn, I don't even know if it's safe.

All I want to know is where the person is. Where is the person? Why don't you hand them over?

He was in a fit of impotent rage all night, and he wasn't even interested in sleeping with girls. What was he thinking?
Even though he knew what was going to happen, she was still his own sister, born of the same mother, who flew all the way from Shenzhen to come here. And now he was going to let a married man with kids benefit from her. Ugh, let a bastard benefit from her.

That's right, he was cursing Lu Yang as a bastard in his heart. This son of a bitch, I treated you like a brother, and you actually tried every means to sleep with my sister.

The truth is that his sister took the initiative, but in his mouth, it was Lu Yang who seduced her.

"Too much nonsense...None of your business...I'm hanging up."

Lu Yang knew what he was talking about and what he might ask later, so he hung up the phone before Xiao Jun could ask his question.

"Wait, wait... don't hang up yet... beep beep... you bastard, fuck."

Xiao Jun indeed wanted to ask where his sister was.

As it turned out, Lu Yang had already hung up the phone.

Hearing the dial tone on the phone, the kid got so angry that he started cursing.

I'll try calling back later.

Lu Yang simply stopped answering.

He was so angry that he almost threw the brick-shaped mobile phone in his hand.

Mu Qizhong was quicker and snatched it away, laughing and scolding, "Hey, this is mine. If you want to throw it, throw your own."

It turns out that the person who just called Lu Yang was Mu Qizhong, so naturally, the "big brother" was using Mu Qizhong's mobile phone.

Xiao Jun cursed and swore, but he couldn't bring himself to throw his phone. He had acted impulsively just now, and although he was still angry, he couldn't bring himself to throw his own.

He had no choice but to turn his grief into desire, and ordered two girls in swimsuits, saying, "You two... come swimming with me."

Those two bastards were having a blast in the hotel's swimming area first thing in the morning.

Hurting other people's girls.

It's outrageously extravagant, but that's precisely why the girls are willing to spend so much. Look at Mu Qizhong, this skinny old man, surrounded by a whole bunch of young girls with long legs in bikinis, even better quality than the two girls next to Xiao Jun.

Mu Qizhong waved to them, "You all go down for a swim, I'll stay here by myself for a while."

For him, girls are just for pleasing the eye, at his age.

If he were to conquer them one by one as he did when he was young, he would be exhausted to the point of vomiting blood, and even as a dried-up adult, he still wouldn't be able to handle it.

The girls didn't dare refuse. Some giggled and winked at him before jumping into the water. Some of the bolder ones even sneaked a kiss on his face before jumping back in.

For these billionaires, simply being able to stand beside them is considered lucky.

The idea of ​​rising to the top overnight, transforming from Cinderella into a swan, only exists in fairy tales and is rare in reality.

In their minds, it would be best if they were chosen by this billionaire to stay and then spend a night in the state suite upstairs.

Even if they get nothing in return, it's enough for them to brag about for a while. Besides, billionaires like him aren't stingy. They'll give away a little bit of everything they've slept with.

That's enough!
Even a little bit of money leaking from the fingers of billionaires would be enough for these girls from the mainland who come to make their way in the big city to live a life of comfort and ease.

If you're optimistic, take the money back home, marry an honest civil servant, and you'll live a happy and fulfilling life.

Of course, there are also ambitious individuals who attempt to conceive these powerful figures' children through one-night stands, hoping to defy fate and achieve upward social mobility through their offspring.

The chances of success are almost nonexistent, but not zero either.

No one can predict the future of this world. The powerful have their own precautions, and the ordinary people have their own ways of rising up.

In a game of mutual competition, anything is possible.

Otherwise, where do all those big shots' illegitimate children come from?

Closer to home.

Lu Yang hung up on the two guys and urged Xiao Jiu to drive the car to the Great Wall Hotel as soon as possible.

It's almost noon.

He had promised Qian Youyou that he would go back at noon, wake her up, take her downstairs for lunch, and spend the whole day with her. This little devil was exhausted last night and hadn't even eaten breakfast this morning; he couldn't let her go hungry.

We arrived at the Great Wall Hotel.

Lu Yang had just gotten out of the car when he received an unexpected phone call.

Why did you think of calling me?

"Can't I call you?"

"No, that's not true. I just thought that someone like you wouldn't be so clingy. I was thinking of visiting you in a while, but didn't you say last time that you were very busy lately?"

"It's quite busy. I'm changing jobs again, and I've been busy handing over my work here recently."

The caller was Du Lingling.

Du Lingling, who is a generation older than Lu Yang, interacts with him in a different way than Qian Youyou and Lu Yang, and even more so with Yin Mingyue and Lu Yang.

Both girls were somewhat attached to Lu Yang.

Qian Youyou wouldn't have done that before, but since breaking through that barrier last night, Lu Yang feels that she definitely will in the future, and he might have to spend more time with this little devil.

However, although Du Lingling also relied on Lu Yang, she focused more on her work. Once she started working, she would forget everything else and not even give Lu Yang time.

In the past, whenever Lu Yang could spare the time, he would go to Xingcheng on a business trip every now and then. However, in recent months, he has not flown there for vacation for a long time.

Firstly, because Mingyue, my younger sister, is getting increasingly pregnant and will soon give birth.

Secondly, it's also related to the fact that Du Lingling has been quite busy lately. She's so busy that she doesn't even have time to talk to Lu Yang on the phone. If Lu Yang wants to visit her, she'll have to take time off work to be with him. How could she possibly find the time?
"Where are we being transferred to this time? It can't be another lateral move, can it?"

Thanks to Sister Du's tenure in recent years, I have invested a lot in Tianfu District of Changsha. For example, I and my friends have invested at least several hundred million yuan in Wanyan Company, which produces VCDs. With the integrated supporting facilities, it has now helped Changsha successfully obtain the qualification of a national high-tech industrial park.

Everything looks promising; things are about to flourish.

Is transferring Sister Du away at this time a bit like discarding a used tool after it has served its purpose? Also... Lu Yang suspects that someone is trying to steal his credit.

"It's not a case of discarding someone after they've served their purpose; it's just that the organization recognizes my abilities and is preparing to give me more responsibilities..." (End of Chapter)
