Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 79 The Importance of Background

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. Gentle rays of light shone through the glass windows into the room, making the originally dark room bright.

"Huh!" Lu Shaohua suddenly sat up and looked out the window. He found that it was already daybreak. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It's time to get up. We have to rush back to Shenzhen."

When everything was ready, it was already nine o'clock. Lu Shaohua hurried downstairs to have some breakfast before leaving for Shenzhen. Yang Jianlong and Chen Guobang had already packed their things and were chatting with Lu Jiayao in the living room.

"Dad!" Lu Shaohua said as he wiped his mouth with a napkin, "We're going to leave for Shenzhen soon."

"Yeah!" Lu Jiayao nodded, looked at Lu Shaohua, and said with a serious expression, "After returning to Shenzhen to open the branch, I will quickly return to Hong Kong to study."

"Got it." Lu Shaohua didn't meet Lu Jiayao's eyes. He answered calmly as if he was dealing with a task, and then turned back to Chen Guobang and said, "Brother, get ready. We will leave soon, otherwise we will arrive in Shenzhen in the evening."

"Okay!" Chen Guobang answered simply.

Lu Shaohua didn't say anything else and turned around and walked to the second floor. After he got up, Chen Li went to his room to help him pack his things. He went upstairs to see if everything was packed.

.........

At half past nine, the Mercedes-Benz 500 started slowly. Lu Shaohua and Yang Jianlong rolled down the windows and waved goodbye. They waited until Lu Jiayao and Chen Li were out of sight before they put down their hands and rolled up the windows.

At this time, Lu Shaohua took out a piece of paper from his pocket and started reading it. This piece of paper was given to him by Lu Jiayao before he left. He didn't know what was written on it. He opened it and found that it was a phone number. Lu Shaohua felt depressed and thought to himself, "It's just a phone number. Why is there any need to make it so mysterious?" In fact, it was not Lu Jiayao's fault. If Lu Shaohua hadn't been in a hurry since he got up, he would have had no chance to tell Lu Shaohua verbally, so he could only write it on the paper and tell him.

I folded the paper and put it back in my pocket, closed my eyes, and leaned back on the seat with my hands as a pillow, thinking about how the next plan should unfold...

In this era, if you want to develop in China, it is basically impossible without an official background. Small development, opening a few small shops, a few stores is acceptable, but if you want to open a factory, it is difficult to do. Opening a daily necessities factory is a way to make money. Lu Shaohua can't give up, so Lu Shaohua is eager to find a backer this time, and the only one he can think of is Weng Wende's backer. "Hey! Things will work out when we get there. I hope you won't let me down, or I'll have to think of other ways."

……

The car was speeding, and the beautiful scenery outside the window seemed to be walking, constantly moving backwards. Lu Shaohua stared blankly out the window, but his thoughts had already flown to Shenzhen. It had been several days since he returned to Shenzhen from Hong Kong, but he had been arranging things to make money, and had forgotten Zeng Yuling.

Thinking of her innocent face, although we didn't spend much time together, the time we spent together is still so clear...

"Oh! I have to find time to visit her when I return to Shenzhen. I have a gift for her." Although Lu Shaohua puts money first, relationships have to be cultivated from childhood. They haven't seen each other for several months. I wonder if she will forget Lu Shaohua.

At 4pm, the car entered Shenzhen smoothly. Lu Shaohua knew that he would reach Baishizhou in less than an hour. From time to time, he could see buildings outside the car window. He had already seen a miniature of Shenzhen in his previous life, but it had not yet developed to the point where there were high-rise buildings everywhere.

"Brother Guobang, let's drive to Luohu Station first." Lu Shaohua was looking at the scenery outside when Yang Jianlong who was sitting next to him suddenly spoke.

"You want to go back to Hong Kong?" Lu Shaohua came back to his senses, feeling a little surprised. It was almost dark, and it was indeed a bit tight to rush back to Kowloon.

"Haha!" Yang Jianlong smiled awkwardly at first, then said, "I'm still a little worried!"

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua was all smiles. Yang Jianlong's words were so obvious, how could he not understand? "Brother, let's go to Luohu Station first."

Chen Guobang nodded at the rearview mirror, released his foot on the accelerator, stepped on the clutch pedal again, quickly turned the steering wheel, released the clutch pedal, and stepped on the accelerator hard. With a "whoosh" sound, the car went towards Luohu Station.

After dropping Yang Jianlong off at Luohu Station, the car headed for Baishishu without stopping. The detour had already wasted quite a bit of time. If it didn't go faster, it would probably be dark by the time we reached Baishishu.

……

"Let's go to the restaurant first!" Lu Shaohua saw that they had already arrived at Baishizhou. After thinking about it, he decided to go and fill his stomach first, after all, he only had a small breakfast in the morning. "I'm so hungry."

"Hey, hey!" Chen Guobang said while steering, "I'm hungry too."

"I thought you were an iron man." Lu Shaohua shook his head. People are hungry, and you can basically tell from their expressions, but looking at Chen Guobang's face, there is no expression at all.

Chen Guobang just grinned and looked at the car intently.

The car stopped in front of Weng Wende's restaurant. As soon as Lu Shaohua opened the door and got out, he saw Weng Wende standing inside and looking outside. When he saw that it was Lu Shaohua, his expression suddenly changed, and then he quickly walked towards the door.

"Ouch!" Lu Shaohua thought Weng Wende came out because he saw him. "No need to bother your big boss to greet him."

But an accident happened. Weng Wende didn't come out to greet Lu Shaohua at all. He walked around Lu Shaohua and circled around the car before saying three words. "What a nice car!"

Hearing this, Lu Shaohua suddenly had the urge to hit someone, and a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart. "This brother is recognized in vain. People are not as important as cars. What a tragedy."

After walking around for a long time, Weng Wende seemed to come back to his senses and walked to Lu Shaohua in a flattering manner. "Xiaohua! How much does this car cost?"

Lu Shaohua rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, turned around and walked into the restaurant.

However, Weng Wende didn't seem to give up, and quickly followed, constantly whispering in Lu Shaohua's ear...

"45." Lu Shaohua was so annoyed by Weng Wende that he could only reluctantly state the price. "Have you asked? If you have, serve the food quickly. I'm starving."

When he heard the number 45, Weng Wende was stunned at first, but then he showed a relieved expression. When he heard that he was hungry, he finally came to his senses. He called a waiter and asked him to serve a few dishes for Lu Shaohua and Chen Guobang.

The dishes the boss ordered were served quickly. Before long, four dishes and a soup were served. Lu Shaohua didn't hesitate to pick up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Xiaohua." Weng Wende's face was full of longing. "Lend me your car to go for a spin."

Lu Shaohua said nothing, but pointed the hand holding the chopsticks at Chen Guobang, indicating that the key was with Chen Guobang.

Chen Guobang was straightforward. He took out the key from his pocket and threw it to Weng Wende.

"Oh yeah." After getting the key, Weng Wende left without even saying "take your time eating".
