A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully resolved the family conflict. Your wife's favorability has increased.]

[Reward received: 10000 yuan.]

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow when he saw the reward figure.

So, pleasing your wife is that valuable?

I should have let her get angry a few more times.

No, that would probably kill me first.

After all, this woman is too difficult to deal with when she gets angry.

Now, with the previous balance, there's quite a bit of money in the card.

There is more than enough start-up capital to open a milk tea shop.

Back at school, Lu Yang went to his dormitory first.

Wang Hao hasn't gotten up yet.

A ball of blankets was wrapped around the bed, with only half of the face showing, mouth open, and drool dripping onto the pillow.

Li Yunbin and Xu Guangkun are both absent; they've probably gone to the cafeteria.

Lu Yang ignored the dead pig, sat down in his seat, and opened his laptop.

First, I compiled the data on the mergers and acquisitions.

The chain of evidence he had previously dismantled was already quite complete.

Accounts receivable, equipment depreciation rate, and purchase cost premium—all three lines point in the same direction.

The original shareholders of the target company are systematically transferring assets.

The assessment report issued by Sun Wenbo was all green lights.

This person is either stupid or wicked.

Given his five years of experience in the finance department, the possibility of him being stupid is almost zero.

Lu Yang compiled the report into a PDF format and sent it to Li Xixue.

soon.

A message came through saying "ok" from the other party.

Not long after, Li Xixue sent another message.

There's an important meeting about the merger and acquisition project at 3 PM this afternoon. When will you be there?

Lu Yang checked the time and replied: 【What time will it end?】

Li Xixue: [Uncertain, depends on the progress.]

Lu Yang thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go later; I have something to do this morning."

A few minutes after the message was sent, a new message popped up.

Li Xixue: [What is it?]

Well, this young lady is at it again.

Lu Yang's lips twitched, his expression turning into one of interrogation.

If I say the wrong thing again this time, I might not even be able to go home.

Lu Yang replied without batting an eye: [Just handling some school matters. Don't worry, it'll be done before 3 PM.]

This time, the reply came quickly.

Li Xixue: [Don't be late.]

Lu Yang put down his phone and let out a breath.

They managed to keep it a secret for good.

At the same time, the blanket on the bed finally stirred.

Wang Hao poked his head out from inside, and started shouting before he even opened his eyes.

"What time is it?"

"10:30."

"Damn it, I have class at ten!"

Wang Hao suddenly threw off the covers, jumped off the bed, and hurriedly put on his clothes.

"You're wearing your underwear inside out."

Lu Yang reminded him in an annoyed tone.

Wang Hao looked down and saw that he had put it on backwards.

"Old Yang, aren't you going to class today?"

"I'm not going."

Lu Yang shook his head.

"Old Yang, you haven't been going to class every day lately, aren't you afraid of failing?" Wang Hao said as he pulled his underwear back on.

Lu Yang leaned back in his chair: "My advisor told me that my classes can be rescheduled, and I don't need to attend every single one."

"Oh? That's great?"

"Flexible arrangements: those who are supposed to attend should attend, and those who are not supposed to attend can skip."

Wang Hao was extremely envious.

He looked at Lu Yang, then at his own densely written schedule from Monday to Friday.

"Old Yang, did you save the galaxy in your past life?"

Wang Hao's tone was full of jealousy: "Not only did you get into Xueyu Group, but your counselor also gave you special treatment. I was three minutes late for the last macroeconomics class, and Lao Zhao made me stand for the whole class until my legs were sore."

"Then why don't you go find an internship too?"

"I'd like to!"

Wang Hao sighed: "The problem is that when I send out my resume, it's considered polite if they don't reply even after reading it; most of them don't even read it."

"By the way, Godfather, I have a question for you."

Wang Hao's expression suddenly turned smug.

Lu Yang frowned and gave him a cold look: "Spit it out."

Wang Hao rubbed his hands together: "It's about that... could you talk to one of your rich older sisters and ask her to pull some strings for me, like getting me any internship position? I'm not picky, I'll do anything, even serving tea, pouring water, sweeping, and mopping!"

Lu Yang didn't even look up: "Get lost."

Seeing that this wouldn't work, Wang Hao had no choice but to give up. He then asked:

"By the way, is the shop still open for business today?"

"I don't need you. I'll contact the construction team to come to the site today."

"Construction crew?"

Wang Hao's eyes lit up. "Which company did you choose? Are they reliable?"

"It's not decided yet. I made an appointment to come and see the venue this morning."

Wang Hao said "Oh," hesitated for two seconds, and then said, "Then what about my 300 a day..."

Lu Yang was about to speak.

The next moment, a phone rang.

The call was from the construction team foreman.

"Boss Lu, we've arrived at your shop."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lu Yang ignored Wang Hao, went downstairs, and grabbed a battery.

The foreman's surname was Zhao, he was in his forties, and his skin was very tanned.

"Boss Lu?"

Zhao, the foreman, was slightly surprised to see Lu Yang.

Lu Yang looked like just a student.

He hadn't expected Lu Yang to be so young.

College students starting businesses?

The first thing Foreman Zhao asked was, "How much did you pay for this shop?"

Lu Yang gave a number.

Foreman Zhao nodded, neither commenting on the price nor the cost, and followed Lu Yang inside. After looking around, he asked, "Are the modifications significant?"

Lu Yang gave the other party the design he had completed.

The bar area is located directly opposite the main entrance, with the kitchen at the back, so that customers sitting outside can see what's happening inside, adding to the sense of occasion.

The seating area is by the window, and all seats are booths.

Then, instead of tiling the walls, hang a few Japanese-style decorative paintings in the blank spaces.

After reviewing the design drawings, Foreman Zhao nodded:

"The water supply to the bar needs to be redone. It will take some time, but it can be done."

"How many days will it take?"

"If all goes well, it should be completed within five or six days."

"OK!"

Lu Yang smiled.

This happened much faster than he had expected.

"If the inspection fails, the final payment will not be settled."

"Of course."

Foreman Zhao patted his chest and assured him, "You can trust me to handle things!"

After several rounds of negotiation, a price was finally settled that was acceptable to both parties, and Lu Yang and Foreman Zhao shook hands.

"Work officially starts tomorrow."

Foreman Zhao folded the blueprints and stuffed them into his pocket, then asked curiously, "Boss Lu, what's the theme for this renovation?"

"Japanese style."

Foreman Zhao said "Oh," then looked around and muttered to himself, "I've never seen this style before on this street; this is the first one."

To be fair, this is an advantage.

Everyone understands the concept of differentiation in theory, but when it comes to actual implementation, most people still choose to follow the crowd to avoid pitfalls.

Moreover, being the first to fall into a trap carries a much greater risk.

It's fair to say that Lu Yang is incredibly bold!

Just as Lu Yang finished giving the instructions, his phone suddenly vibrated.

I opened the message and saw a pink bunny emoticon saying hello.

It was a message from Xia Ning.
