Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

With a few days left before the exhibition started, everyone was busy preparing, and several vendors nearby were chatting with each other.

Guan Jinhua's voice wasn't low, and her shout immediately attracted the attention of the others.

"This is going to be interesting today. Is this some kind of betting match?"

"A bet? Is that even possible?"

"Isn't this the young man who just delivered the things? Was he bullied?"

"What does this fat woman mean by this? Is she trying to bully him? Well, I'll have to say a few words of justice first."

At first, it was just a matter between Lu Yuan and Guan Jinhua, but as soon as Guan Jinhua shouted, the attention of the people nearby was immediately drawn to her.

This is why, as it was almost lunchtime, everyone was casting curious glances our way.

One by one, they started discussing what had just happened, mostly speaking in Lu Yuan's favor. They had just taken his things, so they would definitely give him face.

After this commotion, Guan Jinhua was put on hold. In front of so many people, she was too embarrassed to go back like that, so she spoke up in a huff.

"If you're scared, just say so, and I won't do anything to you."

"There's no need for Guan Jie. We're friends, so wouldn't it be better if we all got along peacefully?"

Lu Yuan couldn't understand it. He hadn't tried to bully the person in front of him, so why was this guy targeting him?

He was thinking of making money through harmony, but Guan Jinhua wanted to save face.

Chu You, who was standing to the side, felt that things had gotten a bit out of hand. He looked around at the people and tugged at his wife's sleeve.

"Golden Flower is good enough, but if she continues, it will only make her look bad."

"What's so embarrassing about that? I helped him and he didn't appreciate it at all, and even thought I had ulterior motives. Well then, I'll show him what I'm capable of!"

Guan Jinhua spoke with reluctance, preparing to have a proper talk with Lu Yuan.

He had to make Lu Yuan know the consequences of offending him.

Lu Yuan was also helpless. He really didn't want to spend too much time and effort on this kind of thing, but he couldn't keep doing it like this.

Seeing that the other party insisted on doing this, he was too lazy to do anything more and just spoke up.

"Since you're planning to do it this way, let's take a gamble. What if..."

"What are you all doing?"

Just then, a questioning voice suddenly came from within the crowd.

I saw a staff member walk over. The person was wearing a white shirt, carrying a notebook, and wearing black-rimmed glasses.

It was a girl, tall and slender, almost as tall as Lu Yuan when she stood up, with a hint of curiosity in her upturned fox-like eyes.

"What are you doing? Instead of preparing for the trade fair, you're arguing here."

"Young comrade, please don't misunderstand. We were just joking around with each other as friends, there was no other meaning behind it."

When Guan Jinhua saw who it was, she quickly forced a smile.

The other person waved their work ID, clearly unmoved by her words, and spoke in a rather serious tone.

"Everyone's here to do serious business, don't cause trouble like a street thug. If you don't want to work here, say so now."

"Yes, yes, young comrade, we were wrong this time."

Guan Jinhua nodded, quickly conceded defeat, and pulled her husband away.

However, she was still a little annoyed that her plans had been ruined, and she glared at Lu Yuan before leaving.

"Thank you very much, comrade."

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. At first, he didn't react, but after seeing the person in front of him, he realized that the other person was trying to help him out of a predicament.

The other person smiled slightly and extended their hand.

"My name is Li Huan. I know those two. I brought them here before. They're just a bit unruly. You must be Lu Yuan, right?"

Do you know me?

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was taken aback.

When did I become so famous?

Li Huan, with a smile still on his face, offered an explanation.

"I've heard your name mentioned quite a few times before, and I was even thinking of visiting your shop. I never expected you to be participating in a trade fair."

After some conversation, the two learned that Li Huan was also from the Ministry of Commerce and worked under Han Guodong, mainly responsible for the specific affairs of this trade fair.

Lu Yuan only realized then that his appearance in the newspaper had a significant impact.

Originally, he wasn't supposed to be included in the trade fair, but the Ministry of Commerce held a special meeting to decide to make contact with him.

"I see. Thank you so much for your help this time. Oh, and I have a few things here, please take them."

Lu Yuan smiled and wanted to give her something.

To everyone's surprise, Li Huan immediately waved his hand, seemingly startled by his action, and even took two steps back to distance himself from him.

"That won't do. Everything else is fine, but this is absolutely out of the question."

"It's nothing."

Lu Yuan wanted to give it a try, but Li Huan was particularly averse to it.

After all, she was in charge of the exhibition, and what she really cared about was whether the exhibition would be successful. As for taking things from far away, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Li Huan smiled before speaking.

"Don't waste your energy on this. Everyone else's stalls need to be set up properly. Even though your stall is a bit out of the way, you still need to put more effort into it."

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded, but didn't say anything more.

To most people, Lu Yuan's position is indeed quite ordinary, with no advantage compared to others, but only Lu Yuan himself knows the truth.

His current position is actually where he truly has an advantage.

Because the exhibition venue was fenced off and divided into various areas, these areas were not independent but adjacent to each other.

So his location on the edge of the food section may seem bad, but in reality, 60% of people going to the food section will pass by here.

This is actually an advantage of being far away.

As the saying goes, "gold at the corner, silver at the edge, and grass at the belly," his position, even if it doesn't make money, at least easily attracts attention.

After making up his mind, Lu Yuan originally wanted to leave directly.

However, considering Guan Jinhua's attitude towards him, he still chose to walk a little further inside.

He saw Guan Jinhua and Chu You's positions. Although it wasn't the most central location, it at least looked much larger than Lu Yuan's position.

Moreover, Guan Jinhua has already started setting up, and it looks similar to their shop.

In the very heart of the food section, Li Huan was chatting with another man, and they seemed to be having a good time.

"I wanted that spot, but it got snatched away."

"You still want to take it from him? Do you even know who he is?"

"That's the Minister of Commerce's son..."

Lu Yuan overheard the others' discussion about the man and couldn't help but take a closer look at him, which Li Huan happened to see, and she smiled at him.
