Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 11: Calm as a Lake

Chapter 11: Calm as a Lake
"You are too idealistic."

After a moment of silence, Xu Ruochu shook his head:
"After all, you are still young and don't understand the cruelty of this society."

"..."

Lu Yao didn't answer.

Drive steadily.

"……Why do not you speak?"

"Because there's nothing to say."

"You won't refute me?"

"Why refute Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu, you are the leader, and the leader is always right. Besides, what will happen if I refute you? I still want to go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and I will not change my mind because of your words, so whether I refute or not, the result will be the same."

"..."

After hearing this answer, Xu Ruochu remembered their first meeting.

I remembered that the man who "helped" me get three points actually spoke in a very choking way.

The reason why I have this attitude towards myself now...

Just because of money.

Thinking of this, she felt a little lost for no reason.

But she still felt something was wrong.

Then came another sentence:
"You're being stupid."

"Ah."

"...Hey!! Can we still have a good chat?"

"..."

Lu Yao glanced at her and shook his head:
"Something has to be done by someone. Why can't it be me?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu understood what was said.

But she still thought the other party's choice was stupid.

But it's stupid.

With these ordinary words, even she herself didn't notice... Lu Yao's status in her heart suddenly improved a lot.

Maybe nothing has been accomplished yet.

But his thoughts...can already be called "great".

……

crematorium.

When the car stopped, Xu Ruochu's mental state became depressed again.

Open the door and get out of the car.

She said:
"Come pick me up at 5pm."

"clear."

Lu Yao nodded calmly and waited until her figure disappeared before driving away again.

But he didn't go straight home.

Instead, he returned to the Garden of Fortune.

This is the leader's car, so it's okay if he drives it out.

But this is a matter of principle.

No need.

After walking all the way to the subway, I took two stops, transferred to another line, and arrived at a bustling supermarket.

After making sure that his clothes were decent and that he wouldn't suffer from the plot in novels where a bumpkin is ridiculed and then slapped in the face, he first went to the GUCCI store on the first floor.

In fact, he has always felt that luxury goods are very stupid commodities.

Things that cost just a few dozen dollars are artificially given the meaning of luxury goods and can then be sold at a premium of hundreds or even thousands of times.

The faces of capitalists are so ugly.

But Lu Qing couldn't help liking her.

My sister is not materialistic, but how does that saying go?

Every girl has to have a piece of Prada?
That's probably what it means anyway.

Not caring about having it and not caring about not having it are two different concepts.

Life is only a few short decades long, and he felt that if Lu Qing could fulfill his wish early, as a younger brother, he would be very happy.

That’s all.

Just be stupid.

He walked into the GUCCI store and spent nearly 4000 to buy a wallet for Lu Qing.

It’s so damn expensive!
A tattered wallet costs 3900.

I wonder if I can get it for 900 if I ask Wei Qianqian, who is an expert at bargaining, to come over...

I was thinking about some random things in my mind and was about to leave...

"Handsome, can I borrow your phone? I can't find it."

"Uh……"

Looking at the beautiful, sexy and charming young woman in front of him, Lu Yao nodded without thinking too much:

"Ok."

then……

"Ding ding ding ding..."

"..."

"Oh, it's in my bag. Thanks, handsome."

The girl returned the phone to him with a smile.

"fine."

Lu Yao shook his head and took a few steps before he suddenly realized...

Is that a pick-up?

He couldn't help but look back at the woman who was shopping at the GUCCI display cabinet with the shopping guide. Without saying anything, he walked into the mall.

After a while...

Lu Yao walked out accompanied by a clerk, carrying an Estee Lauder shopping bag.

As we walked, the clerk said:
"Next time there is an event, I will contact you and you can let the aunt come here to experience it. Our experience qualifications are still very scarce, and there are not many events. If the aunt is good at it, don't miss it."

"well, thanks."

Lu Yao thanked him politely, and the clerk said:
"If there's anything you don't understand, you can call me. I may not be able to reply in time during work, but I still have plenty of time after get off work."

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, Mr. Lu. Goodbye."

"Bye-Bye."

Lu Yao turned his head and took a few steps when his ears moved.

"Hey, that handsome boy is pretty good, how about giving me his phone number?"

"Don't give me that! That's mine!"

"Hey, give it to me when you're done."

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

"..."

The corner of his mouth twitched.

After walking a few steps, he touched his face.

Could it be that I'm some kind of born gigolo?
And…am I a shared bike?

Anyone who wants to ride can ride?

……

After buying cosmetics and GUCCI bags, Lu Yao’s “summer vacation goal” was half completed.

Next comes tuition fees.

Today is the 10st.

If nothing goes wrong with the tuition fees, we’ll be able to get it paid for by tomorrow.

As for the reason, it is very simple.

Tomorrow is June 6th, the opening day of the World Cup in South Africa.

He actually had no interest in football, let alone being a professional. But he still remembered clearly the first day when South Africa tied with others and France lost unexpectedly to Mexico. The World Cup is a grand event for gamblers.

Lu Yao didn't want to be a gambler, nor would he be one. He just wanted to earn some living expenses for himself and reduce the burden on his family at the most appropriate time.

After all, no one would think money is a burden, right?

When he gets to school, he can use the money to build a good computer and rent a house. If he saves a little bit of money, he can even avoid the trouble of looking for angel investors and start a software development company on his own.

Wouldn't it take off then?
With his vision for the future, Lu Yao made a phone call.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

There was a somewhat impolite sound from the other end of the phone:
"Let me warn you first. You won't get any money, but you will lose your life."

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:
"Since I was little, have I ever asked you for money? Wasn't it always you who took out a card and asked me for it?"

"Then why are you calling? If you are being too attentive for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief."

"Get lost! I bought you a GUCCI bag for nothing!"

"……What!?"

"I said, I bought you a GUCCI bag, which cost me four thousand dollars, and now I plan to give this bag to our mother."

"..."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

then……

"Damn it! Lu Yao, are you being kept by some rich woman?! Did she give you a golf ball?!"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched:
"Lu Qing, you can't speak human language, right?"

"No, no, no...you...never mind, just stuff it in. Hey, what style? Do you have any photos? Send them to me so I can see."

"Get lost, I'll take it back for our mom."

"Ah!! Don't!! Don't you dare!!... Leave it to me, and I'll let you live in the bedroom this summer, okay?"

"make a deal."

"I rely on..."

"You are a little girl, don't speak so badly."

"Your uncle, Lu Yao!!"

"Okay, when will you be back?"

"It's almost done. It will probably be done in another week. Hurry up and send me a photo of the bag!"

"understood."

"Well, I'm done... Haha, sisters, my brother bought me GUCCI!"

Before hanging up, Lu Yao listened to the excited shouting from the other end of the phone and shook his head helplessly.

That's Lu Qing's personality.

The two of them loved and hated each other all their lives.

In his previous life, every New Year, he would become the object of Lu Qing’s ridicule.

Such as...

"Hey, single guy, you haven't become a great magician yet?"

"Lu Yao, did you say your wife is born now?"

"Let me take a look at your laptop to see what kind of study materials you have, so I can find you something similar."

And then... no matter how much I ridicule her, I don’t know since when, the task of arranging blind dates for myself has changed from my parents to Lu Qing.

At the craziest time, Lu Qing arranged three sessions for him in one day...

Lu Yao didn’t know how other people got along with each other, but he and Lu Qing really loved and hated each other... After so many years, he was used to it.

After sending the photo of the bag to Lu Qing via MMS, Lu Yao stood up and walked towards the subway station.

……

After returning the electric bike to the designated driving company and writing a note for leave, Lu Yao returned home.

The job of a designated driver is mostly a part-time job. As long as you return the electric car to the company's property, the company will not care whether you continue to do it or not.

With a little tiredness, he put the cosmetics on the table and walked straight into the bedroom.

No one is home.

Need to get some sleep.

He was half asleep when he felt someone shaking him.

Open your eyes and take a look...

"...Mom, what are you doing..."

"Where did you get the money?!"

Chen Aihua, with essential oil all over her face, looked serious.

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes:
"Next time you come to ask for an explanation, could you please not open the package first?"

"Eh? ...I'm just worried that you'll go astray. Your sister said that you're being kept by a rich woman..."

"She can't spit out ivory."

Lu Yao rolled his eyes, turned over and continued to close his eyes:
"They gave me 10,000, which is ten days' salary. Didn't I tell you? I am rich, but I am not a mistress. I don't want to be a Phoenix man... When are we going to eat?"

"almost."

"Then call me when it's time to eat. My son was tired after serving a rich woman all night."

"Uh-huh!"

Chen Aihua massaged her face with her fingers and said:
"Mom will buy you two pork kidneys to nourish my baby~"

"..."

……

After sleeping for more than an hour, Lu Yao got up.

A steamed sea bass was already placed on the table.

The radiant beauty at the DMV (once) was holding the GUCCI wallet as a handbag, and smiled at her son and asked:

"How is it? Is mom charming?"

"Have!"

Lu Yao nodded vigorously:
