Lu Chi was an 18th-tier celebrity who finally got the chance to appear on a dating reality sho...
Pan Feng got home at 12:30 a.m.
Her husband, Lu Yuanqing, was already asleep. Pan Feng went back and quietly washed up before slowly climbing into bed. She didn't want to wake Lu Yuanqing, but she still woke him up.
"Honey, you're back now." Lu Yuanqing rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up at Pan Feng, and muttered, "Don't stay up so late, go to sleep."
Pan Feng hummed in agreement and quickly crawled into bed.
Lu Yuanqing habitually pulled her into his arms, then suddenly hissed and said, "Wife, you're so cold!"
Pan Feng chuckled and said, "Honey, are you alright? Are you cold?"
Her body still honestly snuggled into Lu Yuanqing's arms.
It's almost past September. The weather is great during the day, sunny and bright, but it gets a little chilly at night.
Pan Feng returned wearing a skirt. Because she was thinking about the engagement between Lu Chi and Su Yu Nian, she didn't notice that she had left the window open along the way, letting in a breeze, so she felt a little chilly.
"It's alright, you're not cold." Lu Yuanqing hugged Pan Feng, his face full of affection. "Go to sleep, silly wife."
"Mmm." Pan Feng replied. She was about to go to sleep, but she suddenly became energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood. "Honey, let's find someone knowledgeable to choose an auspicious day tomorrow and get Chi'er and Su Yunian's engagement arranged."
Lu Yuanqing nodded: "Okay."
The next morning, Pan Feng shook Lu Yuanqing awake.
"Honey, wake up! Get up!"
Lu Yuanqing looked bewildered, glanced up at the still dimly lit window, and asked, "Wife, it's not even dawn yet, what are you getting up for?"
Pan Feng scolded playfully, "Oh dear, honey, have you forgotten? I told you last night that we were going to find someone to choose an auspicious day to arrange the children's marriage."
Lu Yuanqing then remembered what Pan Feng had said last night and said, "But it's too early now, let's sleep a little longer before getting up."
Pan Feng persisted: "My husband isn't going to sleep anymore. He got up, had breakfast, and it'll be about time."
"Alright." Lu Yuanqing had no choice but to leave his warm bed.
Pan Feng is an impatient person. Once she says she wants to do something, she must do it, and she will do it as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, he, as the husband, is the one who spoils his wife the most. There's no way around it; harmony in the family brings prosperity, and listening to one's wife is always the right thing to do.
Back then, his wife accompanied him through the hardships of starting his business, which led to the Lu family's current success.
If I don't treat her well, who will?
The two got up and had breakfast. Lu Yuanqing then called over the butler, Zhou Fu, and told him his plans.
Zhou Fu laughed and said, "Master, can't the young master do fortune-telling?"
Lu Yuanqing shook his head: "There's no reason to calculate your own birth date and time and marriage. Find someone else to do it."
Zhou Fu thought for a moment: "Yes, I do know such a person..."
Led by Zhou Fu, Lu Yuanqing and Pan Feng went out.
...
Lu Chi woke up in his dormitory at [Haha You] company and went downstairs to the cafeteria for breakfast.
He summoned Jiang Jieyu, along with four bodyguards and attendants, and went to the suburbs to inspect land.
I told Jiang Jieyu yesterday that I want to build a house in the suburbs and get involved in the real estate industry.
The two got into the Rolls-Royce, and Xiao Li asked Lu Chi, "Young Master, where are we going?"
Lu Chi said, "We need to go around the entire suburbs of the capital. It doesn't matter where we go first. Let's go to the eastern suburbs first, according to the route."
Xiao Li replied respectfully, "Yes, young master."
The car sped along and arrived at the eastern suburbs.
There are very few large residential areas here, just a few scattered apartment buildings and a few small factories. It's open, with good views, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and a tranquil environment.
Lu Chi showed Guagua the options: "How about building a house here?"
Guagua said, "Host, don't worry about building houses. Your idea for a four-generation residence is excellent; it will earn you a lot of money in the future."
Lu Chi: [Okay.]
After wandering around the suburbs for a while, Lu Chi was very satisfied with the environment.
"Xiao Jiang, go back and draft a project plan for this area. First, secure the land and see how many square meters of land you can buy. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
Jiang Jieyu nodded: "Yes, President Lu."
The group then took a stroll around the western and northern suburbs. Lu Chi secretly planned out the layout of the houses, roads, large supermarkets, schools, entertainment venues, and even the approximate directions of hospitals.
Jiang Jieyu is worried that with so many projects running at the same time, it will be difficult to supervise them all.
Lu Chi laughed heartily, "Don't worry, your boss has a big appetite. I want to acquire all the land in the entire suburbs."
Jiang Jieyu chuckled softly and said, "President Lu, how come what you said even rhymes a little?"
Lu Chi didn't understand what Jiang Jieyu meant, nor did he delve into it. He simply said in a serious tone:
"Go and work on the planning document properly. There's no rush. You can get it done this month. After all, with so much land and such a wide area, it's not easy to prepare four planning documents."
Jiang Jieyu was actually unsure of herself. She didn't have an architecture background, so how easy would it be to prepare a good real estate planning document?
But in front of President Lu, he didn't want to appear incompetent.
No worries. When I get back, I'll first look up information and then consult with architectural experts. I must make sure the planning document is perfect and satisfies Mr. Lu.
Having visited the eastern, western, and northern suburbs, Lu Chi then took Jiang Jieyu to the southern suburbs.
Compared to the other three suburbs, Lu Chi likes the southern suburbs the most.
Because there is a lake of moderate size in the southern suburbs called Pearl Lake.
I used to often go to the southern suburbs to have barbecues and sing karaoke.
This time, Lu Chi came to the shore of Pearl Lake again.
Standing by the lake, enjoying the breeze, he told Jiang Jieyu and a few of his subordinates about his plans: "I plan to buy up all this land and build houses by the lake. I will build high-end villas along the lake and four-generation residences further away."
Jiang Jieyu was delighted with the lakeside environment and said to Lu Chi, "President Lu, I love the environment here too. I'd like to buy one after you finish building the house. I hope you can give me an employee discount then."
Lu Chi patted his chest and said, "That's for sure. On top of the employee price, I'll give you an additional 20% discount."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu! Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Hearing Lu Chi's words, Jiang Jieyu was very happy, and her beautiful face instantly blossomed into a smile.
Lei Song, the assistant, also pleaded, "President Lu, could you give me a discount too?"
Lu Chi laughed heartily and said, "No problem!"
The group sat by the lake for a while. Around 6 p.m., Lu Chi got hungry and really missed the food in the company cafeteria.
Have Xiao Li drive back.
Upon arriving in the city, at a traffic light intersection, there was a traffic jam ahead. Lu Chi asked his bodyguard, Zhui Feng, to go down and check what was causing the congestion.
Zhui Feng returned and said, "Young Master, someone has collapsed on the sidewalk ahead and is unconscious. The onlookers called 120, but the ambulance hasn't arrived yet."
"Someone fainted?" Lu Chi's gossipy nature began to awaken, and his divine healer skills started to stir. "Let me go take a look."
