Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 15 Meeting ()

The weather in the south was unusually hot. Lu Shaohua had just got off the bus with a gift bag on his back. Perhaps it was because the bag was too heavy or he was too excited, but beads of sweat on his forehead were clearly visible under the street lights. However, Lu Shaohua didn't seem to feel the heat. His eyes were focused on looking towards the place where he had traveled through in his previous life, standing there motionless, like a sculpture.

"Ah!" After looking at the place where the 'Window of the World' was in his previous life, Lu Shaohua sighed. He, a person from the 21st century, suddenly returned to the past, allowing him to witness the rise of a beautiful city, which made his life worthwhile.

But will Lu Shaohua waste his life in such an ordinary way? The answer is impossible. Even if his plan cannot be implemented, he can still live a wealthy life. After all, the memory from the future can make him earn a lot of money even if he becomes a "trader". But can Lu Shaohua, who has struggled in poverty for more than ten years in his previous life, be willing to do so? This answer is obviously impossible. Building an economic empire is his dream. Even if it takes his whole life's energy, he will realize this dream. Moreover, it is the 1980s, a troubled time, with economic ups and downs and the financial market's decline order not yet sound. As long as he seizes the opportunity, it will be a rare opportunity to make money.

It took Lu Shaohua a long time to come back to his senses. He clenched his fists and swore in his heart, "When I have money, I must build a 'Window of the World' that is exactly the same as the one in my previous life. This can also be regarded as a commemoration of God giving him a chance to be reborn."

……

"Xiaohua, why are you still standing there? Come here quickly." Lu Shaohua had just finished swearing in his heart when he heard Lu Jiahui's shouting.

"I'm here, Uncle San." Lu Shaohua responded and looked around. He then realized that the bus had already left and more than a dozen boxes of lychees were already placed a few meters away from where Lu Shaohua stood.

"Xiaohua, did your fourth uncle give you a note with the address on it?" Lu Jiacheng rummaged through his pockets and asked only after Lu Shaohua came closer.

"Oh, I have the address."

"Huh!" When Lu Jiacheng heard that the address was in Lu Shaohua's hand, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. This piece of paper with the address was too important to them. Without the address, they would have nowhere to go in Shenzhen where they were unfamiliar with the place.

Seeing Lu Jiacheng exclaiming, Lu Shaohua felt amused. He didn't dare to say that he was familiar with Shenzhen, but it was a piece of cake to find a place with an address, even in 1986. "Fourth Uncle, what should we do now?"

Lu Jiacheng looked at the lychees on the ground, then looked at Lu Jiahui, and then slowly said: "You and your third uncle stay here to watch the lychees, and your fourth uncle will go and find that place."

"This doesn't seem to work, Fourth Uncle. You should stay here and watch over Litchi. Your Mandarin is better, so if anything really happens, you can handle it. Third Uncle doesn't speak Mandarin very well, and I'm still young, so let me and Third Uncle go look for her." Lu Shaohua thought that if he asked Lu Jiacheng to look for her, it might take him a long time to find her, but if he went to look for her himself, he could find her in just a few minutes.

"Okay, you guys go look for it. Third uncle will stay here. If you can't find it, come back and let fourth uncle look for it." Lu Jiacheng felt that what Lu Shaohua said made sense, so he nodded and said.

With Lu Jiacheng's permission, Lu Shaohua pulled Lu Jiahui and walked towards Nanshan District. At this time, Lu Shaohua realized that even at almost ten o'clock in the evening, there were still people coming and going on the roadside, some walking in a hurry, and some just strolling. According to the current flow of people, Lu Shaohua can fully predict that the flow of people during the day will be several times or even dozens of times more. Seeing such a flow of people, Lu Shaohua knew that the dozen boxes of lychees might sell faster than he expected. After all, more people will come to buy, and of course, the dozen boxes of lychees will sell faster.

According to the address on the paper, Weng Wende's store is not far from where we get off the bus, in a place called "Baishizhou", and it takes less than five minutes to walk there. Lu Shaohua pulled Lu Jiahui and walked while looking at the number plate on the street. As the number on the number plate got closer to the address written on the paper, Lu Shaohua knew that he was about to find it...

When Lu Shaohua pulled Lu Jiahui to the front desk of the restaurant, the waiter at the front desk smiled sweetly and then said, "Welcome, what do you two gentlemen need?"

"Thank you. I would like to ask, is your boss here called Weng Wende?" Although Lu Shaohua knew that the place was where the address was written, he still asked first out of courtesy. He couldn't just say, "Call your boss out," as soon as he entered the door. If he did that, people would just think he was a fool.

"Yes, gentlemen, our boss is Weng Wende. May I ask what can I do for you?" When the waiter spoke, his smile was much sweeter than at the beginning, and he changed 'you' to 'you', and his tone was obviously flattering.

Seeing the waiter like this, Lu Shaohua secretly laughed in his heart. For him, the waiter's expression just now showed that this waiter was a snobbish person. If he hadn't heard that they were here to see Weng Wende, he probably wouldn't have given them a good look. However, Lu Shaohua would not argue with ordinary people. His purpose was to find Weng Wende, not to help a snobbish person. "Oh! Then can you please call your boss out and tell him that the people from his hometown can just look for him."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded with a smile and walked into the restaurant.

After the waiter left, Lu Shaohua looked around and thought to himself, "It would be impossible for Weng Wende to open such a big restaurant in Shenzhen without a certain amount of brains and backing. Maybe I can use them in the future. Of course, I can use them. In Lu Shaohua's mind, since their family agreed to lend Lu Jiayao money, Lu Shaohua decided that when the plan goes smoothly, it is inevitable to lend them a hand."

Just as Lu Shaohua was thinking, a man in a suit and tie came hurriedly from the back of the restaurant. He looked to be in his early twenties, but he exuded a mature and steady aura. Lu Shaohua knew that this man was no simple man and was a shrewd one.

The man in a suit was Weng Wende, the eldest son of Weng Fuming. Weng Fuming got married and had children relatively early, so Weng Wende was already in his twenties, and only a few years younger than Lu Jiahui. Although the age difference was not much, in the countryside, seniority still had to be respected. So when Weng Wende heard the waiter say, "Someone from my hometown," he knew who was coming, so he hurried out, and before he even got close to the front desk, he called out to Lu Jiahui, "Third Uncle."

"Hahaha, look at you, you're dressed so elegantly that Uncle San almost didn't recognize you." Lu Jiahui looked at the person who came over carefully before saying cheerfully.

Being said by Lawrence Lu, Weng Wende touched his head a little embarrassedly and said awkwardly: “Uncle San, please stop making fun of me.”

After the embarrassment, Weng Wende noticed Lu Shaohua standing next to Lu Jiahui, and then asked Lu Shaohua: “Are you Shaohua?”

"Yeah," Lu Shaohua responded calmly.

"Hahaha, little genius, I heard from my dad that you have become a celebrity in your hometown." In fact, Weng Wende didn't know Lu Shaohua very well. He just heard his father mention that Lu Shaohua was called "little genius" in his hometown, so he smiled and said.

At this time, Lu Shaohua felt helpless. It was okay in his hometown. He showed his intelligence just to convince his family and let him carry out his plan without any obstruction. However, he did not expect that this matter would be spread out and make him the focus of people. This was not what he wanted to see. After all, being too famous is not a good thing.

"Those are just jokes. I'm just a kid, I'm just a little smarter." Lu Shaohua said modestly, changing the subject. "By the way, Brother Wende, where is the store you found for us?

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it. I rented a place on the street outside. There's a lot of people there during the day, so it should be a good place." Weng Wende then remembered about the store and said seriously.

"Oh! That's good. How about Brother Wende, take us there? Fourth Uncle is still guarding the litchi trees, so we have to move there quickly." Lu Shaohua said happily when he learned that the house was rented on the side of the road.

"Okay, Uncle San, wait a minute. I'll go get a few guys to help move them." When Weng Wende heard that the lychees were still on the side of the road, he quickly walked to the back of the restaurant, apparently to call for help.

In less than two minutes, Weng Wende walked out, followed by a dozen waiters in uniform. The group followed Lu Shaohua and walked towards the place where they were going to get off.
