Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

Even with Lu Yuan's good temper, he was no match for the woman's aggressive, unreasonable, and irrational behavior.

At this point, my patience was almost completely exhausted.

This can be heard from Lu Yuan's three apologies.

At first, Lu Yuan was genuinely willing to make compensation, even though he wasn't primarily responsible.

To be considerate of the fact that the other party is an older woman, it would be best if everyone were polite and cooperative from the beginning.

Lu Yuan felt that he didn't need to care about this matter.

When the woman first raised her voice to question him, Lu Yuan's attitude had already become businesslike.

When the woman continued to make a scene, Lu Yuan decided he wasn't going to let the matter rest.

"I have apologized for this matter three times, and I am willing to provide reasonable compensation."

"But you don't seem to want to resolve this matter. You just enjoy using the most vicious language to trample on the dignity of a stranger in public to show off your self-righteous sense of superiority."

"Or are you here to stage an accident and extort money, wearing your cheap 9.9 yuan dress, hoping I'll compensate you for your lost elegance and grace?"

"If that's the case, then please send the purchase receipts, clearing bills, etc. to my lawyer. I don't mind giving a beggar who comes to my door a bite to eat."

"Of course, my lawyer will also seek due compensation for your attacks on my background, my upbringing, and even your malicious speculations about my motives today."

Although I don't know what "9.9 yuan with free shipping" means, I can feel Lu Yuan's contempt.

The woman opened her mouth, then choked. Her previous fierce aura vanished completely, leaving only glaring wine stains on her body and a deathly silence even more unbearable than the stains.

The antique-style streetlights still shine softly and brightly, and the music coming from afar has changed to a soothing tune.

"It seems you don't want to resolve this matter. Then let's not resolve it. Please do as you please. Excuse me."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he walked through the crowd that parted automatically and headed straight into the main building.

The woman was shocked that Lu Yuan actually dared to talk back to her. Her face turned red and white, and she was so angry that she was trembling all over.

People around her were genuinely worried that she might not be able to catch her breath and faint.

They immediately retreated a few steps, creating a vacuum within a 5-meter radius of the woman.

He was afraid that if the woman really fainted, she would try to extort money from him.

But those who were able to attend this gathering were at least not stupid; they knew how to protect themselves.

At that moment, the woman's friend finally made his way through the crowd and helped her toward the restroom, saying something as he did so.

"Let's go to the restroom to take care of this quickly."

"That brat will have plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson later. Don't forget why you came here today."

At this moment, the middle-aged man who had been silent all along suddenly appeared.

"If this incident upsets the host and leads to being asked to leave the banquet, it would be a huge loss."

The middle-aged woman broke out in a cold sweat, and her eyes gradually cleared. She realized she had really gotten too angry and almost overlooked the most important thing.

As for that kid, once we find out who he is, he'll definitely be in big trouble.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a newly signed artist from some company. Judging from his height and build, he might be a male model.

I'll have someone investigate. All the bosses in the entertainment industry, out of respect for their mentor, will give him some face.

He's just a penniless, powerless, backgroundless, and rude kid. When the time comes, he'll have to kneel down when asked and lick feet when asked.

......

Lu Yuan pushed open the three-meter-high solid oak carved door and walked into the main building.

Underfoot is golden beeswax marble from Provence, with a brass rose pattern inlaid in the center of the diamond mosaic.

The foyer is ten meters wide and seven meters high, with a spiral staircase at its core.

The stair railing is carved from a single piece of walnut wood into a vine-like inlay, and each step is inlaid with handmade brass strips.

To the left of the foyer is a library surrounded by cherry wood bookshelves on all four walls, and the entire ceiling is a painted dome depicting the Muses from Greek mythology.

To the right of the foyer lies the social heart of the manor, a large salon (French-style living room) measuring 20 meters long and 12 meters wide.

The walls are covered with light champagne-colored silk jacquard wallpaper, and three bohemian crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling.

The fireplace is carved from a single block of black marble, and above it is a Louis XV-style gilded mirror that reflects the view of the south-facing garden infinitely.

Lu Yuan found a corner near the window to rest while observing the people in the hall.

The people in the salon were generally older and dressed more formally.

Lu Yuan also saw some international friends, but none of them were familiar to him.

However, as Lu Yuan continued to scan the area, he made an unexpected discovery.

The floor-to-ceiling window, three meters high, is draped with three layers of curtains.

The innermost layer is made of silk jacquard, the middle layer is lace, and the outermost layer is a dark blue velvet drape.

A grand piano that looks expensive was placed in front of the window.

A small group of people were chatting in front of the grand piano.

A woman with medium-length hair was facing away from him, so his face was not visible.

The two men standing opposite him were very familiar to Lu Yuan.

Of course, they were not familiar with Lu Yuan.

It was two heavyweight figures in the Hong Kong entertainment industry: the "God of Songs" Cheung Hok-yau and the "Heavenly King" Lai Ming.

The song god appeared to have come alone.

Behind and to the side of Heavenly King Li Ming, half a step behind, followed a woman who looked like his manager.

Behind this woman were two other girls, one body length behind.

There was someone who looked very familiar, but Lu Yuan couldn't remember who it was.

The other one is the famous Angel Baby, Yang Ying, who will be known in later generations.

At this moment, the three of them landed behind Heavenly King Li Ming like followers.

To be honest, Lu Yuan still had some impression of Li Ming from the movies he had acted in.

But for Xueyou, he was truly Lu Yuan's idol.

At least Lu Yuan listened to his songs often in his previous life.

Lu Yuan was thinking of going up and chatting with him, or even just taking a photo with Jacky Cheung and getting his autograph.

But seeing that the group was chatting so enthusiastically, and since it wasn't a good time, he didn't get up and go forward.

Soon another girl joined in.

Lu Yuan looked closely and was quite surprised.

It turned out to be the diva Faye Wong. According to later memories and Hong Kong media reports at the time, shouldn't Faye Wong be in Beijing preparing for her wedding right now?

Could there be some unexpected change? Lu Yuan's mind raced, and he felt things were getting interesting.

A young woman dressed smartly and professionally suddenly walked up to Lu Yuan and clinked glasses with him.

"May I sit here?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that the other party should do as they pleased, and that he did not mind.
