Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

"You can say whatever you want to say here."

Wei Min kept telling me to go in, and I kept struggling.

"Security!" The man from Xishuang had no choice; he genuinely couldn't take action himself.

However, in order to deal with such emergencies, security guards equipped with bomb disposal gear are indeed more suitable for violent expulsion.

Seeing the security guard with a stun baton at his waist, Wei Min knew that continuing the standoff would be pointless.

Before he could go in and expose Lu Yuan, he would be kicked out by the security guards and these people.

"I know how Lu Yuan deceived everyone, really, you have to believe me."

"That bastard is a liar, a piece of social trash. Don't let him fool you."

The man in the suit frowned but didn't say anything.

The main problem was that Wei Min spoke with such conviction that he was unsure whether it was true or not.

What if what this woman said is true, and that the man on stage receiving cheers and applause from the crowd is really a scumbag liar?

"Then tell me, how did he manage to fool everyone?!"

Wei Min knew this was her only chance to turn things around. She steadied herself, her voice filled with resentment and hatred.

"Lu Yuan definitely doesn't have that much money. The reason I passed the verification was because he used a check for his first transaction!"

"Checks aren't cashed that quickly, so his account balance didn't decrease when the funds were verified."

"That must be it!"

"Let me in quickly, I need to expose his ugly face. He's a liar, a scheming, manipulative piece of trash."

The man in the suit looked at one of the waitresses, who looked helpless, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Ms. Wei, I think you've misunderstood."

"It's a misunderstanding, there can't be a misunderstanding. He doesn't have that much money. He's lied to all of us. I'm going to expose him."

"Yes, he also has to compensate me; he has to replace that Langyao red porcelain piece."

"That porcelain piece worth 300 million!"

The waiter looked at her with the same expression he would give a person who was an idiot or mentally challenged.

"Ms. Wei, even if Mr. Lu Yuan used a check for his first transaction, we were able to pass the verification after checking his bank balance."

"That's impossible, how much money does he have?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Wei, we cannot disclose our guests' privacy, but I can tell you that..."

"Mr. Lu's bank balance exceeds eight figures."

Wei Min was stunned, staring at the waiter in disbelief.

I tried not to speak, but simply nodded slightly.

Wei Min seemed to have left her body at this moment, her face devoid of life.

She understood; at that moment, she understood everything.

It turns out that from beginning to end, she had been part of Lu Yuan's scheme.

He used bidding to thwart his own ambitions, and then used capital verification to ruin his reputation.

Finally, he used the Langyao red gall bottle as bait to make himself pay 90 yuan for nothing.

Until she finally left the manor, Wei Min didn't realize how she signed the papers, paid the money, or how she walked out.

The evening breeze carried an indescribable sense of desolation and bleakness.

......

The banquet hall was still bustling with activity.

Lu Yuan returned to his seat, a smug and proud expression on his face.

"How was it? Wasn't my performance exceptionally cool? Anyone want to marry me?"

Zhou Mei, who had been looking at Lu Yuan with admiration, and even Wang Fei, were tempted.

Hearing Lu Yuan say that, they couldn't help but roll their eyes at him.

Calling himself "brother" at such a young age is shameless.

"What kind of looks are you giving me? Look at Sister Wen, she's so devoted to one person, okay?"

"Hey, don't drag me into your jokes."

Zhou Mei suddenly asked slyly.

"What do you plan to do with that set of jewelry you photographed?"

"What? You want it?"

"I was just thinking about it; I couldn't bear to buy something so expensive."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment

"I'll give you the phoenix crown and hair comb; I'll take the rest."

"Huh? You're giving it to me?"

Zhou Mei was genuinely surprised and couldn't believe that Lu Yuan would actually give her this.

Especially the phoenix crown, which is the most valuable and exquisite piece in this set of headdresses.

"But I'll never have the chance to wear this phoenix crown!"

Indeed, this phoenix crown is in the Ming style and is worn by empresses when they get married or attend important ceremonies and rituals.

Generally speaking, there weren't many opportunities to wear Hanfu in 05, before it even became popular.

"That hair comb can be used if you want to create a hairstyle like an updo with a comb in your hair. It's also fine for everyday wear; it has a very classic and elegant feel."

"As for this phoenix crown, you can take it to Yanjing and display it in the hall of your studio."

"Firstly, it can be seen as a kind of inheritance in the performing arts, from classical opera to modern film and television."

"Secondly, it can also symbolize your status as a film and television queen."

"Finally, some of the period dramas produced by our studio might also come in handy, which is much better than what the prop masters have."

After hearing this, Zhou Mei's eyes were filled with such intense spring-like desire that they could hardly dissipate, which ignited a fire in Lu Yuan's heart.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, I would definitely want to savor this hot, alluring, ripe, and juicy body.

This will at least unlock two more poses or scenes.

Wang Fei, however, had a complex expression, a mixture of envy and jealousy, her thoughts in turmoil and her mind racing.

"By the way, is there really such a thing as 'sky lanterns' at your auctions?"

Rong Jiawen asked a question out of curiosity.

"No, I made that up."

"and you?"

Lu Yuan made a shushing gesture, and everyone understood without saying a word.

At this moment, the floor-to-ceiling glass doors behind the stage were opened, connecting the entire open-air balcony with the stage.

When the lights come on, it transforms into a dance floor, and people keep going in to dance to the music.

A little girl ran up to Lu Yuan's table and invited him to dance.

Lu Yuan waved his hands repeatedly and apologized hurriedly.

Firstly, Lu Yuan genuinely doesn't know how. Perhaps he could learn a little bit of ballroom dancing by showing some short dance videos.

This really is Lu Yuan's blind spot.

Secondly, Lu Yuan had other matters to attend to.

"That young lady is so pretty, and she looks like she's mixed race. She asked you to dance, and you, you big pervert, actually refused?!"

"Speak! Do you have some bigger conspiracy?"

"What kind of person do you take me for? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I have something to do in a bit."

"Oh? You're leaving already?"

"No, Lao Lin and I are going to meet someone to discuss serious business."

"It's about time," Lin Shaoyang said, glancing at the time. "It would be better if we went there first."

Lu Yuan didn't waste any more words. He told the others that they didn't need to wait for them that night, as they didn't know when things would end.

I will be going back to the hotel in Lin Shaoyang's car. Please call me if you need anything.

Then he and Lin Shaoyang left the banquet hall together.

After passing through the salon and returning to the foyer, Lin Shaoyang stepped onto the "Stairway of Glory."

"Is it alright for us to go up like this?" Because the floors above the second floor are rarely open to guests, and this was Lu Yuan's first time here, he felt it was inappropriate.

"The third floor and above is the Zheng family's own bedroom area. The second floor is mainly to provide a quieter and more private space so that everyone can communicate privately without being disturbed."
