You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 245: Be My Girlfriend (6800 words long chapter, please subscribe)

At this moment, in Lu Yu's mind, angels and demons were fighting desperately.

The devil said: "Kiss me, kiss me (づ￣3￣)づ"

The angel said, "Be steady and don't be impatient."

His mind was getting more and more confused, so Lu Yu simply spoke first, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere:
"Later, let's go to Cat's Tea House and then have dinner at the 'Qiao Paris' restaurant in Liu's Commercial Plaza. I heard the French food there is pretty good. I'll treat you."

Liu Mengyuan's face flushed slightly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes: "Why did you suddenly want to go out and eat something delicious?"

"Today is your birthday."

Liu Mengyuan was a little surprised and stunned, but then she felt touched and said coquettishly, "You actually remembered my birthday. I've been so busy with company matters lately that I even forgot."

Lu Yu suddenly became serious: "How can that be? Such a memorable day cannot be wasted."

She bit her lip lightly and stole a glance at Lu Yu: "Thank you...Excuse me, how long will you keep pressing like this?"

"Oh, sorry."

Lu Yu got up.

"that……"

Liu Mengyuan asked in a puzzled voice, "Did you not eat enough at the company for dinner today?"

"what?"

Lu Yu was stunned, "Why do you ask?"

"Because you had a corn dog in your pocket, and Teacher Fan Jing happened to make American fast food tonight, so I thought you might not be full, so I packed some from the restaurant.

To be honest, you might as well finish it at the company. It's such a big portion, and it's so unhygienic to put it in your pocket. Don't you mind the discomfort?

And...the food just now burned me."

Liu Mengyuan subconsciously adjusted her pleated skirt. She could feel the scorching temperature of the American fast food through her skirt.

Boys are boys, they pack their food casually without any care.

"what?"

Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about? I didn't bring any food back from the company."

He stretched out his hands and turned out the pockets on both sides of his trousers, but they were empty.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other silently, and the room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

"Well, it's getting late. Let's go out quickly, otherwise we won't be able to book a seat." Lu Yu waved his hands in panic.

"Okay, okay!" Liu Mengyuan's face turned red to his ears.

After Lu Yu left the study, she looked at Lu Yu's back, lightly covering her cherry lips, with a shocked expression.

Let's stop eating turtle soup for a while...

Otherwise, she was afraid that she would not be able to walk for several days.

……

The two left home and took a taxi to the University Town Pedestrian Street.

Lu Yu was still worried about Mao Zhiming, so he went there to take a look first.

Because Wan Xiaotong and other employees were tied to the company by his cat-stroking activities, and the popularity of the collaboration declined, the customer flow of Maozhiming decreased by 20% to 30%, but it was still extremely popular and crowded.

Lu Yu held his chin up in thought, and then he would find time to think of a way to make Lin Ming and the staff give up the idea of ​​internal competition.

If Maozhiming expands in scale, or even opens chain stores in the future, the risk of losing control of internal competition will greatly increase.
After all, it is impossible for him to inspect all stores every day and supervise employees to avoid internal competition.

Liu Mengyuan and Lin Ming have become as close as sisters, holding hands and chatting familiarly.

Lin Ming secretly realized that the two had important arrangements tonight, so he smiled and told Liu Mengyuan not to talk too long.

The two walked side by side towards the nearby Liu Commercial Plaza.

Lu Yu smiled casually and said:

"I always feel that you have changed a lot since you first ran away from home."

Liu Mengyuan smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

"Well...how should I put it? Although I know that you must have participated in family social events before, it always feels like a routine business.

But now, you are the type who opens your heart to new friends you meet in the company, whether it’s Zhang Qiqi or Lin Ming.”

"Now that you put it that way, it's true... But since we've come to this, I want to ask you a question."

Liu Mengyuan looked at Lu Yu with a smirk, "Have you ever been uncomfortable with going to crowded places since you were a child?"

Lu Yu was shocked: "You figured this out?"

"From your diary, I can tell that you are a reserved person. But I think you will gradually make many friends, just like me.

You see, so-called friends are people who cooperate with each other for a common interest.
Our company is currently making games, which perfectly fits this point.

Maybe you can expand your social circle instead of just soaking in the hot springs and eating snacks in the company..."

Lu Yu pondered for a moment.

It turns out that she has been silently paying attention to everything about me.

What can't be compromised for the person you love?
"Okay! Listen to you."

Lu Yu's tone was firm.

……

A few minutes later, the two arrived at Qiao Paris.

Paris is a two-diamond restaurant in the Black Pearl Guide.

The Black Pearl Guide is China's own restaurant evaluation standard, which is more suitable for the domestic consumer market than the Michelin Guide.

Therefore, the Black Pearl Two Diamonds is already a very high evaluation.

Walking into the restaurant's door, the marble columns on both sides lead you into an extremely luxurious space.

The lobby is covered with exquisite red carpets and the crystal chandeliers are soft and luxurious.
The walls are decorated with classical paintings of the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame de Paris.

There is a rose garden in the center of the restaurant, with a fragrant aroma. The melodious violin music echoes in the restaurant, making you feel like you are in a romantic French town.

However, perhaps because the consumption level is too high, there are only a handful of tables of guests here.

Lu Yu had booked a seat three days in advance, so the waiter politely guided the two of them to sit by the window.

Just as Lu Yu finished ordering and was waiting for the food to be served,
suddenly!

About dozens of people filed into the restaurant.

As soon as they entered the door, they found an empty seat and sat down, whispering to each other, laughing and joking.

Then, a young man and woman walked to an empty seat in the middle of the restaurant and sat down.

Lu Yu saw that many people here were wearing the black and white Mi Leyou employee uniforms.

Then, several of the employees began to approach the tables of other guests one by one and chat with each other.

After a few minutes, the guests left with dissatisfaction on their faces.

Finally, they came to the table of Lu Yu and the other person.

One of the MiLeYo employees said:
"Our boss and his girlfriend are having a birthday party here today. This place has been booked out. Please dine somewhere else."

Lu Yu was stunned: "Impossible, I booked this seat three days in advance."

The employee said awkwardly, "Well, it's true. When we were making reservations, we found that several tables were already booked. But please, please be kind. Look, all the other guests have left, and your table is the only one left."

Lu Yu straightened his collar and said, "You don't have the final say. Find the restaurant manager."

Wu Ke, a bald man with a burly back next to him, said impatiently:
"Why are you, a grown man, so slow? You keep talking nonsense. Can I refund your deposit in full? Tell me the amount, take the money, and get out of here!"

Lu Yu sneered:

"The household registration book only has one page? How uneducated."

Is this your attitude when discussing things with someone?

I won’t give up this one today!

When the bald Wu Ke heard that his whole family was being questioned, he couldn't swallow it.

"What did you say? Tell me again!"

His big hand instantly grabbed Lu Yu's collar.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, raised his hand, and easily clamped the other person's wrist.

The bald man struggled desperately to break free, but found that he had no strength at all.

Lu Yu thought to himself, you want to compete with me in core strength? What have I been doing in the company every day since my rebirth?

Fitness, weightlifting and hot spring health care!

Although the other person looks big, he seems to be a otaku who works on the computer every day, and that's just bloat.

The muscles on Lu Yu's arms bulged, and with a backhand twist, the bald fat man fell face down to the ground.

There was a crackling sound, and the chairs around fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? Looking for trouble!"

A few more employees gathered around.

"If you don't agree, keep coming." Lu Yu sat in his seat with his hands behind his back.

Seeing the fat man rolling on the ground in pain, the employees instantly became scared.

At this moment, Wan Jia rushed over from a distance and tried to stop the fight between the two sides:
"Brothers, calm down, calm down."

Then he ran over and handed Lu Yu his business card, saying:
"Sir, calm down. We're from the gaming company, and we're here for team building. We're not some bad group, so there's no need to make a big fuss."

Lu Yu looked down and saw: "Mi Leyou (Jianghai) Technology Co., Ltd., Collapse 3 Project Team, System Planner, Wan Jia."

"Are you from the Disintegration 3 project team?"

"Yes."

Wan Jia smiled apologetically and pointed towards the table in the middle.

"That's our executive producer of Dishonored 3, Tianwu, and his girlfriend. Today, our producer is celebrating his girlfriend's birthday and booking the whole place for team building."

Lu Yu looked over and saw a man and a woman at the table with arrogant faces, talking and laughing, not caring about what was happening here.

An employee nearby chimed in:

"Do you know who our boss's girlfriend is? Have you heard of Jiangdong District Chaoyang Real Estate Company?
She is the daughter of Chairman Huang of Chaoyang Real Estate!"

Lu Yu smiled and pointed at Liu Mengyuan.

"Do you know who she is?"

The other party was immediately confused: "Who is it?"

"She's my girlfriend."

Lu Yu replied calmly.

Liu Mengyuan suddenly looked shy.

“???????” A group of people were suddenly filled with question marks.

Lu Yu continued calmly:
"Why, you can celebrate your girlfriend's birthday, but I can't?

Do you know who I am?

When the other party saw Lu Yu's calm demeanor, his heart immediately jumped into his throat again:

"You...who are you?"

"I am a customer of this store." Lu Yu smiled faintly.

The other party was suddenly confused.

Hey man, you're just sitting here, right?

"Is it fun to play tricks on people?"

Several employees were about to come forward and shout, but Wan Jia quickly stopped them:

"Calm down, guys, calm down. It's not necessary."

Seeing that Lu Yu refused to give in and the situation was out of control, an employee called the restaurant manager over.

After hearing the whole story, the restaurant manager saw that the Mi Leyou employees were numerous and powerful, and also heard that Miss Huang was the daughter of a real estate tycoon, he quickly came over and whispered to Lu Yu:
"Sir, look, I'll compensate you double the deposit. Please go eat somewhere else and don't make things difficult for me."

Lu Yu sat in his seat without moving:
"Manager, I've been around the world, and I don't recognize anything else but the truth.

I and other guests had reserved seats here, but this group of people came in and drove away all your other guests.
What do you think those customers who were kicked out would think of your store?
As the saying goes, a man without trust cannot stand, and without rules there can be no order.

So I think, if you want to protect the reputation of this store, you should fire all those people who are disrupting the business order!"

"This……"

The restaurant manager was in a dilemma. From a logical point of view, Lu Yu's words were really impeccable. But the other party was outnumbered and powerful.

He had no choice but to take out his cell phone and plan to continue asking Manager Sun of Liu's Commercial Plaza to find someone to settle the matter.

Lu Yu was also ready to take out his cell phone and call Zhang Fan and others to help.

……

At this moment, a voice came from the door again: "Who is looking for trouble on the territory of Liu Group?"

A group of Liu Group employees in black suits filed in.

When the leader saw Lu Yu, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled broadly:

"Mr. Lu, are you eating here?"

It turned out that these people were none other than Manager Sun's subordinates, the strategic development manager of Liu's Commercial Plaza.
They were the people who had dealt with Lu Yu and frightened Lin Ming during the negotiations for the acquisition of Maozhiming a few days ago.

Ever since being scolded by Manager Sun in the office that day, the Development Manager has been looking for an opportunity to apologize to Lin Ming.

But Mao Zhiming was so popular that he couldn't squeeze in.
As a result, I ran into Lu Yu here just after returning from Mao Zhiming.

The development manager first listened to the restaurant manager's explanation of the whole story.

After all, he was a veteran in the world, and with his sharp eyes, he caught a glimpse of Liu Mengyuan sitting opposite Lu Yu.

Compared with the Huang family's daughter, this graceful and elegant temperament is like the difference between a phoenix and a pheasant!

This is most likely the dream come true for the group's daughter Liu.

After being hit by Manager Sun, he realized that he couldn't afford to offend Lu Yu.
Besides, he couldn't possibly let the young lady suffer any injustice on his own turf!

So, he put on a stern face and waved his hand towards Tianwu and the others:
"This Qiao Paris is cleared out today, specifically for Mr. Lu and his girlfriend to celebrate their birthday here.

You have ten minutes to get out of here, or we'll treat you rudely."

Miss Huang was so frightened that she started to cry. Someone on the other side was dissatisfied:
"Do you know whose daughter Miss Huang is? Are you, a small manager, capable of shouldering this responsibility?"

The Development Manager angrily shouted:
"That Huang guy is nothing. Stop trying to scare people in front of me. If you make me angry, I'll turn his 'Chaoyang Real Estate' into a 'Dusk Cemetery'!"

These harsh words really shocked the other party. In addition, they were in the wrong to kick the guests out, so they had to leave in disappointment.

As Tianwu helped his girlfriend leave, he glanced in Lu Yu's direction.

When their eyes met, hot sparks flew.

Tian Wu said coldly, "Mr. Lu from Taoyuan Township, right? We'll see who's the real one at the Tianzun Cup in two days!"

After the Mi Le You employees were driven away, the development manager, like an eagle catching chicks, swiped the restaurant manager over:

"Listen, please take good care of Mr. Lu and Miss for dinner tonight. If there's any problem, you don't have to come tomorrow."

The restaurant manager was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly.

He felt a little scared.
Wow, who is this Mr. Lu?

Fortunately, I didn’t kick him out directly, otherwise I would have lost my job.

……

Afterwards, the restaurant’s resident chef took charge of the cooking and the waiters began to serve the dishes one by one.

The rich aroma of milk and vanilla of French baked snails hits you in the face. The snails are tender and delicious, coated with rich cheese sauce.

Next is the black truffle foie gras, the blend of the mellow aroma of foie gras and the aroma of black truffle is intoxicating.

Thai grilled shrimp are golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the spicy flavor highlights the exotic flavor.

The bouillabaisse is rich and mellow, with all kinds of seafood in the soup, which melts in your mouth.

The final dessert was Quiche Lorraine, which was a blend of sweetness and eggy aroma, making every bite intoxicating.

[Enjoy delicious French food with your beloved girl, feel happy, get a critical hit, and get +100 leisure points]

Lu Yu sighed that it was the first time he got 1 yuan through a critical hit.

Through this, he also gained a new understanding of the leisurely and win-win system.

What is enjoyment? What is leisure?

The beauty is in test, her thoughts are clear, and her body and mind are relaxed.

As long as he reaches this level, I believe he will be able to create a new record for explosive points in the future.

……

Afterwards, the melody of the birthday song sounded and the lights in the entire restaurant became softer.

The band members came to the table with instruments in hand and wearing tuxedos to play.

The chords of the guitar, the melodious melody of the violin, the crisp notes of the piano,

At the climax of the birthday song, the band's main vocalist began to sing harmony, then bowed and left the stage with a smile.

The waiter kindly brought the cake, which was decorated with Liu Mengyuan's name in chocolate and strawberry jam.

Then, the number candle in the shape of "22" was lit.

"Wow...it's too formal." Liu Mengyuan was flattered.

"This is called the ritual sense of life." Lu Yu said with a smile.
The corners of Liu Mengyuan's eyes were slightly moist.

Originally, the Liu family had very strict family education, and she used to be quite lonely on her birthday.

This scene was what she had dreamed of countless times in her previous life when she was in her thirties.

"Happy birthday, make a wish and blow out the candles."

"Um……"

Liu Mengyuan nodded obediently, wiped the corners of her eyes, made a wish with her eyelashes trembling slightly, and then blew out the candle.

While eating the cake, Lu Yu asked curiously, "What wish did you make just now?"

"You can't say it, it won't work if you say it."

Liu Mengyuan stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth and asked curiously:
"Why didn't you just tell me who I am? That would obviously win the support of the restaurant manager. Instead, you said I was... your girlfriend."

Lu Yu smiled and said:

"Because I know you don't want to easily exploit your status outside and don't want to be looked down upon by the elders at home."

Liu Mengyuan raised his hand to interrupt:
"No... My point is the word 'girlfriend'. Did you just say it... casually, or..."

"I didn't say that casually."

Lu Yu stared into the other person's eyes with a firm look:

"Be my girlfriend."

"Eh???"

Lu Yu's sudden straight ball startled Liu Mengyuan so much that his hand holding the fork hung in mid-air.

He continued calmly, "Although I know that our relationship may not be smooth sailing, and I don't know the attitude of your mother and family, I will not give up."

Lu Yu hit this straight ball after careful consideration.

After all, in the body of a man in his early twenties, he has the soul of a man over thirty years old.
When it comes to love, there is definitely no young person who is as impetuous and irrational as they are.

Therefore, when Lu Yu first saw Liu Mengyuan after his rebirth, he did not rush to confirm their relationship.

After all, judging from the timeline, they both only knew each other for one year in a college club, and they only played games.

But life is not only beautified through the filter of memory, but also includes each other’s values, living habits and daily necessities.

After spending the past year together, he found that this girl was becoming more and more to his liking, and he could really discover many shining points in her.

"How could I be attractive to you?" Liu Mengyuan asked curiously.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and said:

"First of all, you are mature and intelligent. To put it simply, you are not a troublemaker, don't play tricks, and don't play tricks. You never put on airs when dealing with others and are very sincere.

Then, there is independence, which is especially prominent when running a company. When you encounter problems, you will not panic or be at a loss, but will check, think and then solve them.

Of course, the most important thing is that you are passionate about your dreams and have the courage to pursue them without being swayed by outside opinions."

Liu Mengyuan felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and half-jokingly asked, "Isn't my status as a wealthy woman the most important thing?"

Lu Yu said frankly: "If I really like this, I wouldn't wait until now to confess."

Lu Yu was telling the truth. If Liu Mengyuan had no other advantages and only had the identity of a daughter of a wealthy family, he probably wouldn't consider it.

After all, he wants to live with a woman of flesh and blood, not with a status and a vase.

Lu Yu continued to laugh:

"Actually, to be honest, you have changed from the impression I had many years ago...oh, I mean, from your sophomore year.

You were quite that way at that time, too Buddhist, too decadent,
You know, your eyes were kind of empty back then, you know, like you had no purpose, but now it’s fine.”

Liu Mengyuan put the cake into his mouth and nodded:

"Because I didn't really have any goals then, but I do now."

Lu Yu asked curiously, "Is your goal to impress the family board members?"

"More than that." She put down her fork, then supported her chin with both hands and looked straight at Lu Yu:

"Another goal is to be a perfect girlfriend."

Lu Yu was ecstatic, this meant he agreed!
Liu Mengyuan blushed and continued:
"Actually, you... have changed since I was a kid, oh no, I mean, since you were a sophomore.

You worked too hard back then, you know? No matter what, you were almost obsessed with internal competition, demanding success, and would get frustrated if you didn't achieve your goals. Now, you're quite Buddhist, and seem to be more focused on life, but I don't object to this change.

Liu Mengyuan's agreement was also well considered.

She had been secretly investigating Lu Yu for the past year.

Two thirty-five-year-old souls hidden in twenty-year-old bodies are so simple and unpretentious when it comes to love.

She continued seriously:

"But, there is one thing, can you promise me?

You know, this is my first time falling in love, so, there are some things... I'm still worried that I might be scared and uncomfortable.

So, when doing those things, I still need to allow myself some time to prepare myself mentally… After all, there is an internship period before joining a company.”

As Liu Mengyuan spoke, she blushed and lowered her head.

Today's "corn dog incident" shocked her.

Both the heat and size of this American fast food are too... exaggerated.

She was afraid that if she rushed into the fight before her delicate body and mind were prepared, something bad would happen.

Lu Yu nodded calmly: "I promise you that I won't do anything rash that makes you uncomfortable before you are ready."

After all, many girls, although they talk freely in front of their girlfriends on the Internet and act like old drivers who are about to be run over by wheels, will act too innocent and shy when faced with a real fight.

……

"By the way, this is your birthday present."

Lu Yu stretched out his hand and placed three feathers in Liu Mengyuan's palm.

"You can use these three feathers and let me help you fulfill three wishes."

Liu Mengyuan looked at the feather in his hand, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Any wishes?"

"Well, as long as I can do it. After all, if you ask me to reach for the moon, I definitely can't do it."

Liu Mengyuan thought for a moment, then took out one of the feathers:
"If it's possible, I'd like you to give me that diary from your school days."

Lu Yu was stunned: "That diary is just some random doodles I wrote when I was a middle school student. You're going to use such a precious wishing opportunity on this?"

"Well..." Liu Mengyuan chuckled, "This is very important to me because I want to get to know you better."

"Alright." Lu Yu spread his hands: "It's not a shameful secret anyway."

……

After dinner, the two walked home along the busy street.

Although everything around them was no different from when they arrived, both of them felt a subtle sense of difference.

That is, the two are no longer roommates, but real boyfriend and girlfriend.

Thinking of this, the two of them walked side by side, almost subconsciously getting closer and closer.

The two of them stretched out their hands almost at the same time, trying to feel where the other's hands were, and then the moment they touched, they pulled back as if they had been electrocuted.

"Sorry... I'm sorry." Liu Mengyuan said quickly.

"I am..." Lu Yu said.

"Oh, that's not right. Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Liu Mengyuan chuckled.

So, the little hand and the big hand held together.
