Back to the prime of life

Chapter 3 Doing Business
Lu Changge couldn't remember Zhu Xingyu's home phone number. He had a QQ friend, but the communication efficiency was too poor. Who knew if he was online?

So I had no choice but to go to his house to find him.

Before that, he went to the barber shop and spent 3 yuan to shave his head. The side bangs hairstyle was too uncomfortable, so he changed it to short, messy hair, short on the sides and some on top.

Two words: refreshing.

Zhu Xingyu called He Feier to come out as well, and the three of them were going to gather at the Chashulin Tea Restaurant to have a bowl of noodles with soybean paste together.

Lu Changge is treating us all, he has a huge sum of 600 yuan.

"Would you like one?"

Zhu Xingyu asked when the two were standing on the side of the road waiting for He Feier. He felt that Lu Changge spoke less today and was always looking around, as if he had come to a strange place.

Overall, he felt a little less energetic, so of course he thought it was because he was in a bad mood.

But in fact, this is just Lu Changge's normal state of calmness.

"You smoke it."

"You don't want to keep one?"

Lu Changge tilted his head, "No. Smoking is harmful to health. I don't want to die before you."

"Damn, you're saying you're going to die at such an old age." Zhu Xingyu wanted to enlighten his good brother again, so he said, "Let's go play football this afternoon, run around, and let off some steam."

"Are there enough people?"

"That's enough. It's the World Cup now. Everyone, whether they can play or not, should come up and give it a try."

"to make."

At this stage, high school students have nothing to do. Perhaps children in big cities have richer spare time and can travel around the world in two months.

But it’s not that colorful here. If you live in the countryside, you would go back to work at this time.

Children in the county town play cards in tea restaurants, play ball in billiard halls, and more often they sit together in Internet cafes or game halls.

We do these things during the day, and at night we eat, drink, and go sing karaoke.

Even though it might feel a bit like a life of drunkenness and debauchery, please give it your all, as this may be one of the few happy moments in your life. There's no need to feel guilty, as life is hard enough, and after working so hard for over a decade, what's wrong with enjoying yourself?
In his previous life, he had fought hard enough, but in the end, it was just like that. A sudden accident and it was all over. So his principles now are very clear: not to be a good person, not to be a bad person, just to be a normal person. Normal people are lazy, like to enjoy life, and of course, they also like to look at white thighs.

He was talking about their mutual friend He Fei'er.

This tomboy-like girl is 0 meters tall, and there is no difference when she stands next to the two of them. In addition, she always has short hair and never wears skirts, so everyone calls her Master He. To express it quantitatively, the sexual tension is .

But this is now, a few years later, she is working as a part-time model...very wild and very accurate.

In fact, her facial features are not ugly. Her eyes are not small and her lips are slightly thin. Her facial skin is clean and her pores are fine. It's just that her skin is a little yellow and not white enough.

Under these conditions, it is true that bare face cannot reach the level of heart-beating, but with a simple makeup, a choice of clothing combination, and showing the right parts, the temperament will be completely different.

"What are your plans for today?"

Lu Changge said, "Let's eat first. I'll tell you while we're eating. I have something to tell you."

"I have one too." Zhu Xingyu said.

"That's good, let's go together."

After He Feier arrived, she glanced at Zhu Xingyu and said, "Put out the cigarette."

"No, Brother Lu bought this specially for me, and you can't put out the first cigarette, it's unlucky."

Mr. He didn't act harshly towards him, but snatched the fire away and put it out himself.

Zhu Xingyu started smoking secretly in his second year of high school, while He Feier liked to drink milk tea.

Lu Changge ordered a cup as soon as he entered the store. "A regular cup of pearl milk tea. And a large one with pearls."

"It has been inspected and it is in accordance with the regulations." Zhu Xingyu took a look and said.

Later, the waiter brought three more bowls of noodles with soybean paste, and we ate and chatted.

"Brother Lu, what are you talking about?"

Lu Changge wiped his mouth and said, "Someone owes my dad over 20,000 yuan for a project and he can't get it back. Do you have any ideas?"

He had a few ideas in mind, but maybe it was because he was an old man, used to asking first. What if Zhu Xingyu had a way to get it done right away? That would save him the trouble.

"Don't make it sound so simple. Is there any other reason?" Eighteen-year-old Lu Changge definitely couldn't ask this question, and most children from ordinary families couldn't ask it either.

Only through being influenced by your family, and hearing and seeing more, will you realize that many people will not tell you the whole picture when they come to you for help.

Because the person who asks you for help is not telling you this story, but is doing so so that you can help.

Therefore, they tend to make things sound favorable to themselves, or even simple, as if they just want their leader to say a word and everything will be settled.

But in reality, why don't people pay you? Have you fulfilled your obligations according to the contract?
You think you have done it well, but have you passed the inspection?
Or are there any other disputes or conflicts between you two?

There are probably a hundred similar situations.

"I've known that guy since I was a kid. He's a small business owner from the same village. He's a habitual defaulter, and he pays people based on their circumstances. My dad doesn't have much leverage over him, and since he's so familiar with him, he can't bring himself to ask for the money, so the payment just keeps on falling behind. But I can't keep putting it off forever, so I'm thinking of a solution."

Zhu Xingyu said, "There are people like that. But when it comes to real money, a high school student like me can't do it alone. Let me talk to my dad about it."

Is that so?
Lu Changge thought about it for a moment and decided that 28,000 yuan for a small project was not something he should report to Director Zhu.

It’s not that I’m embarrassed, but it’s not worth it.

Favors are like a membrane. You have to think carefully before you pierce it. After all, once you bleed, you won't be able to use it again.

"Well, don't tell me anything yet. I'll use your name to see if I can trick him."

"How do you fool people?"

Lu Changge picked up the cup and took two sips slowly. "Our county is currently working on an environmental improvement project for Wenxian Lake, right?"

In August 2002, the provincial government approved the establishment of the Yellow-billed Egret Nature Reserve in Wenxian Lake, Huaishui County. This is a provincial nature reserve. After that, Huaishui County regarded this place as the best tourist scenic spot in the county, and invested more than 8 million yuan this year to implement a comprehensive environmental improvement project.

Although some people were later arrested for this, this project did improve the environment around Wenxian Lake. Later, with the real estate boom and the development of surrounding commercial land entering a mature stage, the price of lakeside land increased four or five times, directly boosting the county economy. It was a true blessing in disguise.

"You still care about this?"

"I heard it from my dad. If it's convenient, go get some official documents. They don't have to involve any sensitive information. As long as they have a red label and look presentable, that'll be fine."

There is no need to trouble the director. Zhu Xingyu can find the person in charge of receiving and sending documents. If that doesn't work, the office director can always get it. Generally speaking, they are close to the leaders, and more generally, Zhu Xingyu knows these people.

Even if none of them work, it's just that he can't get it, and no one will do anything to Zhu Xingyu.

"You want to hang him with this?"

"Try it, and if it doesn't work, bother your dad again."

Before asking your leader to do something for you, it is best to report that you have tried your best. There are two reasons for this.

1. You have tried hard but failed, so you have to ask your leader for help. This means that I really don’t want to trouble you, but I can’t do it by myself. This can give the other person a sense of vanity and satisfaction.

Second, you don't even put in the effort yourself, and you just let your boss do things for you. Who are you? Are you his boss?

Zhu Xingyu felt that Lu Changge's consideration in this whole matter was very unusual!
Because this is exactly the way adults do things, and he has only heard it at home.

Although He Feier didn't understand, she felt that Lu Changge had a calmness and composure that she had never had before, which surprised her.

"Brother Lu, are you stimulated?"

Lu Changge shook his head, "No."

He Feier couldn't help herself, "We haven't dared to ask you, didn't you make an appointment with Li Ruoqi a few days ago? What happened?"

They talked about it several times before Lu Changge remembered who this Li Ruoqi was. She was the girl he had a crush on back then, but he didn't have a deep impression of her. Over the years, the girls he liked were as numerous as the stars in the sky. He could be moved twenty or thirty times when watching her videos in one night, and he could remember her wherever he went.

Probably...the reason why I didn't perform well in the 06 college entrance examination was because of the influence of this girl.

Zhu Xingyu chuckled on the side, "I guess they made an appointment, but it didn't work out!"

The boy emphasized the last word and said it in a mean tone.

Lu Changge instinctively wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was right. Zhu Xingyu was really a genius!
"The direct cause is a bit complicated to explain, but... fundamentally, it's exactly what you said."

"Two perverts!!"

None of them cared when the word "slutty" was put on their heads, and Lu Changge especially didn't care.
