Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Lu Yuan thought about the housing prices in the capital city in 2005. Courtyard houses were only a few million yuan, and those worth tens of millions were extremely rare. Ordinary houses were only 4000 yuan per square meter.

Looking back to later generations, the price increased more than tenfold, rising from an average of 4000 yuan per square meter to nearly 6 yuan per square meter.

"The best location for the studio is near universities such as Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Central Academy of Drama, or Communication University of China. Ideally, it should have a yard and a two- or three-story detached house."

"If the location is right, just buy it. If you don't have enough money, I'll add more."

"What about Hong Kong?"

"What I need here in Hong Kong is a shell, you know? So renting a small office is fine, working from home is also fine."

"You can handle that yourself. I'm not very familiar with Hong Kong. You can decide what kind of people to hire and how many. You don't need to report to me."

Zhou Mei nodded, indicating that she had written everything down.

"That should be all. Once the contract is drafted, just bring it over for me to sign."

Zhou Mei was touched. Initially, she approached Lu Yuanlai simply because she thought he was knowledgeable and quick-witted.

You can give yourself some advice on the investment you've chosen.

Unexpectedly, the other party not only helped me solve the investment in the film crew, but even took care of the casting for me.

Finally, he paved the way for his expansion into the mainland market by establishing his own studio, essentially securing his future.

Most importantly, Zhou Mei could feel that Lu Yuan generously transferred money to her with a wave of his hand.

It wasn't because he had a lot of money and didn't care about this amount, but because he had 100% trust in himself.

This trust is rare and precious, but why?

Zhou Mei's mind raced. Did she want her to be his kept woman?

But instead of confining himself, he promoted his career.

And look at this young, tall, wealthy man whose knowledge, wisdom, and courage far surpass those of ordinary people.

He just loves to take advantage of others. Even though he's younger than me, he refers to himself as "brother" in his words and actions.

However, this minor flaw only makes Lu Yuan seem like a vivid and real person.

Thinking about it this way, I realized I never planned to get married in this life, so being his kept woman might not be so bad.

"Brother Lu, do you know there are only two kinds of brothers in this world?"

Lu Yuan was taken aback. The topic had changed a bit too quickly. He was still immersed in the feeling of giving orders and enjoying the worship of his goddess.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Mei changed the subject, and he was a little caught off guard.

"What is it?"

A playful, feminine smile appeared on Zhou Mei's lips, making her look nothing like someone over 35.

"One type is an older brother who is older than you."

"The other type is the older brother who doesn't care about age."

"So, Brother Lu, which type are you?"

As he spoke, he leaned closer, his eyes darting towards Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan felt the warm, soft flesh so close to him, and looked into those playful, lively eyes.

For a moment, I was at a loss for what to do.

How should this part be handled? It seems the founder didn't teach me how.

Seeing Lu Yuan's embarrassed expression, Zhou Mei burst out laughing.

"Little brother, you're still too green to flirt with an older sister."

Zhou Mei whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, her voice both teasing and coquettish.

The warm breath on Lu Yuan's ears made him feel a surge of excitement, like a small boat swaying on a lake.

Just as Zhou Mei was getting up, completely satisfied, Lu Yuan finally realized what was happening.

He realized he'd been teased by the goddess, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, Lu Yuan reached out his hand.

He grabbed the goddess's waist and pulled her into his arms.

Completely unprepared for Lu Yuan's move, Zhou Mei lost her balance and fell back to Lu Yuan's side.

She leaned her entire upper body against Lu Yuan's chest, her hands bracing against his strong chest.

Just like the first time we bumped into each other at the airport, I was flustered when Lu Yuan pulled me into his arms.

Lu Yuan looked down into Zhou Mei's eyes, but the panic and helplessness he had imagined did not appear.

All that remains is the flowing of water.

Unable to control himself, Lu Yuan lowered his head and tried to kiss her.

Zhou Mei buried her head in Lu Yuan's chest and whispered, "Brother Lu, there are still people here."

Lu Yuan instantly snapped out of it, realizing he had been so engrossed in talking to the goddess about life and career, from poetry and songs to life ideals.

I almost forgot there was another guy, Ah Biao, on the sofa by the door of the private room.

Ah Biao, who noticed the commotion, turned around and almost froze.

This is my goddess, and this guy just started messing with her like that? Why isn't she putting up any resistance?

Lu Yuan and the other person quickly separated and started tidying up their clothes.

"I'm going to the restroom to touch up my makeup."

The atmosphere became slightly awkward, so Zhou Mei made an excuse and left the private room first.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was thinking...

"What did she mean when she said there were people here? Does it mean that if there's no one here, she can...?"

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

However, to outsiders, this smile revealed a hint of lewdness, like Ah Biao at this moment.

This guy is handsome, rich, and kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean he can steal away his goddess.

"No, I have to protect my goddess. I have to find a way to get Lu Yuan out of here."

As soon as his goddess walked out of the private room, A Biao sat down next to Lu Yuan with his wine in hand and immediately elbowed Lu Yuan.

"You better behave yourself, that's my goddess."

Lu Yuan rubbed his aching chest and didn't reply.

"Why haven't you finished your drink yet? You can't hold your liquor. It's been so long and you still haven't finished this glass."

Ah Biao almost choked on his drink; this was wine poured by the goddess, which he was reluctant to drink himself.

Lu Yuan chuckled, while A Biao angrily downed the rest of his wine in one gulp.

"So, what exactly are you doing in Hong Kong? It can't be just to pick up my goddess, can it?"

"What? It's not allowed?"

Seeing that Ah Biao was about to explode again and was about to hit him again, Lu Yuan, whose chest was aching slightly, quickly waved his hand.

"This idiot really went all out; he's definitely taking revenge."

Lu Yuan coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and made sure he looked serious.

"I need you to help me find someone..."

.......

When Zhou Mei returned, she found that the two of them were already preparing to leave.

"Brother Lu, aren't you going to play for a while longer?"

Her tone was one of surprise and reluctance. The atmosphere was just right, the weather was nice and it was still early, so why was she leaving now?

"There are some things that Ah Biao needs to take care of. I don't have much time during my trip to Hong Kong, so it's best to finish the important business as soon as possible."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he winked at Zhou Mei.

It means, you said it's not okay when there are other people around, so now I'll get everyone out of the way, do you dare to come along?

"Then I'll take you there," Zhou Mei said, giving him a provocative look.

It means, little brother, don't try to act tough with your older sister, or she'll follow you and see what you can do.

Ah Biao glanced at Zhou Mei and then at Brother Lu, feeling that something was off.

Yes, a 2000-watt incandescent light bulb shining like the sun in this dim and ambiguous environment, is that really appropriate?
