Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

The savory and rich flavor of cheese melts on the tongue, followed by the slightly spicy kick of black pepper and the sweet and sour taste of tomatoes.

The tender beef chunks, juicy and flavorful, create a wonderful contrast with the smoothness of the mushrooms and the crispness of the bell peppers.

Every grain of rice is soaked in the essence of the sauce, and the rich flavor is released layer by layer with each chew, leaving a refreshing aftertaste of parsley, perfectly balancing the overall richness.

The head chef at the Black Pearl Restaurant is truly exceptional.

In his previous life, Lu Yuan had also eaten this dish in other ordinary tea restaurants, but none of them tasted as extraordinary as the one in front of him.

Besides the chef's extraordinary culinary skills, it was also cooled down by the goddess, how can that be the same?

"By the way, with such a lavish meal, why didn't you order a bottle of wine?"

"Who in a good family gets up early and starts drinking?"

"I see in TVB dramas the wealthy families and celebrities always swirling their wine glasses."

"That's just for the show, it's for the characters. Normal people aren't alcoholics, who would drink like that? Their bodies would break down."

Lu Yuan said this wave of stereotypes about Hong Kong has been exposed.

"Try this orchid cake. It's a dessert from Southeast Asia. I don't know if you've ever had it before?"

Having lived two lives, Lu Yuan had never tried this before, which made him feel very curious.

After Zhou Mei finished serving Lu Yuan, she placed the empty plate on the side of the coffee table and inadvertently noticed the newspaper that Lu Yuan had spread out on the side of the coffee table.

"I never expected you to be interested in entertainment gossip."

Lu Yuan was quite helpless.

"I originally wanted to look at the finance section, but it was gone after just two pages, and the rest was all entertainment gossip. I'm really frustrated."

"That's how it is here in Hong Kong."

"Have you ever been in the newspapers?"

"Of course! But I've never been in the news for any scandals. Oh my, Wang Fei is getting married?"

Zhou Mei was indeed very surprised. Actually, she and Wang Fei had a pretty good relationship, but lately she had been focusing all her attention on finding out about mainland film crews.

"I don't know if the news is true or not. It's about Li Erpeng, whom you mentioned before. These media outlets are the best at making things up."

"What, do you have some inside information?"

"No, it's just that I feel this person is not good enough for Wang Fei."

"Me too!"

The two looked at each other and laughed. But to be honest, even in his previous life, Lu Yuan couldn't understand why these two people could get together.

Lu Yuan once suspected that Li Erpeng might have evidence that Wang Fei had committed murder.

I wonder if anything will change in this life because of my appearance.

"Come with me to the stock exchange this afternoon, I need to see someone!"

Zhou Mei looked somewhat puzzled, but did not hesitate at all.

"Are you in a hurry? Should I go back and change my clothes?"

"No need, I don't know if I can find anyone, and it's not that important. The casual dress I wore yesterday was fine."

"Shall we set off now?"

Lu Yuan smiled wickedly

"No need, we just need to get there before 4 PM, before the market closes. There's no point in arriving too early."

"It's still early, how about we play another game of StarCraft!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mei immediately got up and tried to run away.

But Lu Yuan, quick-witted and agile, anticipated this and scooped Zhou Mei up in his arms, then turned around and threw her onto the bed.

"Hehehe, you can't escape my grasp."

Knowing that she couldn't escape, Zhou Mei decided not to run away.

He immediately started a team fight with Lu Yuan.

"Don't come any closer! I am Zhou Zhiruo, the leader of the Emei Sect. If you harm me, aren't you afraid of being attacked by all the righteous sects in the world?"

My older sister understands men's thoughts best; she can conjure up the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo with a single move, making her the goddess in the hearts of countless men.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he thought to himself, "Cosplay! I love it!"

Today I'm not a machine gunner anymore, today I'm the great demon king of the evil cult.

"Hmph, another siege. What else can you do besides siege? They're too busy taking care of themselves right now, so give up on that idea, little beauty."

......

"Great Demon Lord, Zhiruo is yours now. Zhiruo will return to the Demonic Sect with you, and Zhiruo will have your babies."

"Turn around"

"Mei'er was wrong, she'll never come again..."

......

An hour and a half later, the two, now fully dressed, arrived downstairs at the hotel.

"It's all your fault, I didn't even have time to put on my makeup properly."

Zhou Mei, who quickly applied makeup in 5 minutes, occasionally complained softly and adjusted her hair to make herself look more perfect.

The hotel has already arranged a taxi for you; it's waiting in the reception area.

Zhou Mei took Lu Yuan's hand and got into the car.

Completely unaware, a camera was frantically snapping photos from the bushes nearby.

Did they get a clear shot of her face?

"There definitely is!"

"I didn't expect these two to be so bold; they didn't even change their clothes."

A paparazzi was holding a blurry printed photo and comparing it to everyone entering and leaving the hotel.

"I thought it was some taxi driver trying to scam us, or that two people disguised themselves and ran away."

"Yeah, I was thinking of leaving too. Ouch, my shoulder."

"Great! Zhou Mei and the mysterious man spent the whole night at a hotel, so our bonus for this month is in the bag!"

"Hey! What are those two doing over there?!"

"Run!"

......

It must be said that the Hong Kong stock market is still quite lively.

The trading hall was still bustling with people in the afternoon.

Looking at the grand hall, which exudes a sense of historical weight, Lu Yuan felt as if he had traveled back in time.

When I came here in my previous life, this place had already been converted into an auditorium for holding meetings or listing ceremonies.

This July, the first modernization will take place to prepare for the upcoming trend of fully electronic transactions.

Zhou Mei simply wore a hat, pulling the brim down a bit, and her appearance here went unnoticed.

After all, at this hour, most people still in the trading hall are focused on the stocks they are interested in.

Once you come here, everyone is a stock market investor; there's no difference between celebrities and ordinary people.

"Brother Lu, who are you looking for here? I'll help you find them."

Zhou Mei is a very smart person. She doesn't ask unnecessary questions. When she needs to know something, Lu Yuan will naturally tell her.

With her high emotional and intellectual intelligence and no special background, Zhou Mei managed to protect herself and do quite well in the film and television industry, where beauties abound.

"He is a genius who has not yet discovered his own strengths."

"Then how did you know he would be here?"

This is where Ah Biao's strange and wonderful connections come in.

After Zhou Mei went to the restroom that day, Lu Yuan gave A Biao the information about the person he was looking for.

I don't know how Ah Biao did it, but he received Lin Shaoyang's whereabouts first thing this morning.

It is said that he is likely to appear at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange this afternoon.

Lu Yuan's primary purpose in coming to Hong Kong this time was to see Lin Shaoyang.

"I have a brilliant plan!"

Lu Yuan curled his lips into a smile and walked towards a familiar figure.

"If I were you, I would sell this share immediately!"
