Yao Lili immediately waved her hand: "Let's go check out other stores."
Lu Yang grabbed her and said, "The money has already been paid, take it."
Yao Lili's eyes were a little red, but she still took the bag from the sales clerk.
She had never bought anything so expensive in her life, and she was quite careful with the bag.
Lu Yang patted her hair and said, "A bag is for carrying things. Don't treat it like a precious thing. You can buy a new one if it breaks."
Yao Lili nodded with red eyes, took out her bag, and went out with Lu Yang.
The two spent the afternoon sightseeing before returning to the hotel to continue their work.
After receiving the letter, Li Xingran carefully read it when no one was looking.
As expected, Lu Yang heard another piece of news on the "black market." He sighed, feeling even more that he had met a profound and unfathomable person.
After carefully memorizing the contents of the letter, he burned it.
He went out to train as if nothing had happened, and then slipped away during his vacation to catch the culprit based on Lu Yang's information.
When Lu Yang returned to his dormitory, he found a chubby boy wearing glasses.
The chubby boy was chatting happily with Yu Jing and Jing Feng, and was quite surprised when he came in.
"I've seen you before; you were doing the accounting at the food and beverage branch."
Lu Yang smiled and said, "You're... visiting from another dorm?"
The chubby boy shook his head: "I've moved to this bed."
Lu Yang nodded, not surprised at all. Li Xingran had left, and the bed couldn't stay empty forever.
Jingfeng reminded him, "His name is Fu Dawei."
Lu Yang introduced himself, then changed into slippers and went out to take a shower.
Yu Jing whispered, "This guy is extremely rich, and he's usually very aloof."
Fu Dawei nodded in deep agreement: "That's normal. Rich people are usually quite busy and have to balance their studies as well."
Yu Jing whispered, "I heard that the principal helped him with his health permit and business registration!"
Jing Feng's eyes widened immediately: "Really? What's Lu Yang's background?"
Yu Jing scoffed, "Do you know why he used to be so close to Li Xingran?"
"Because Li Xingran's grandfather used to carry guns and had extensive connections in the military, Li Xingran transferred to a military academy."
Jingfeng felt a little uncomfortable listening to this, so he retorted, "He is also very close to Zhou Yunkai, whose family is not well-off."
Yu Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Zhou Yunkai has a cheerful personality. His family is from Haishi, and he has many wealthy friends there. This guy has a wide network of connections!"
"He joined the student council this year, so he'll definitely be very popular at school."
Jingfeng raised an eyebrow, while Fu Dawei stroked his chin and said, "If we're just mediocre, we have to take the initiative to befriend others. We can't expect others to befriend us. What do they want from us?"
Jingfeng suddenly understood and nodded in deep agreement, thinking to himself that he should also go and work at Lu Yang's shop.
After all, working can earn money and also help me get closer to Lu Yang, who might be able to help me in the future.
Yu Jing rolled her eyes and said, "That's called hypocrisy. He only gets close to whoever he thinks is useful!"
After saying that, he got up and left. Fu Dawei shook his head helplessly but didn't say anything.
Lu Yang was unaware of these things and continued to busy himself with his business.
If all goes well, he wants to take the market to the next level, and he discussed it with Zheng Yuntao.
Zheng Yuntao's eyes lit up. Adding another layer would mean tens of thousands more in revenue, so he was naturally happy.
He immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Let's build it! I'll contact the construction team right away. When will it start?"
Lu Yang looked at him helplessly: "Don't rush, can we build it without affecting the business?"
"That's unlikely, construction sites are too dangerous."
Zheng Yuntao waved his hand and said, "I'll go ask the construction team if it's easy to do. I asked before, and they said it can build up to eight stories!"
After saying that, he ran downstairs to make a phone call. Lu Yang did his homework upstairs for a while before coming downstairs.
When he returned to school, he received a letter from the gatekeeper, which was sent by Li Xingran.
Along with the letter came local specialties from his school. Lu Yang took the items to the restaurant and gave them to Yao Lili.
He sat down, opened the letter, and read it carefully. The contents were similar to those before.
Li Xingran was awarded a second-class merit this time and received a considerable amount of bonus. He also briefly talked about his daily life.
Lu Yang also talked about his own experiences, and finally reminded him of information about a criminal, writing it down on three whole pages.
He dropped the letter into the mailbox that very night and went back to school to sleep.
The following afternoon, as Lu Yang entered the restaurant after school, he found Jing Feng standing by the front desk.
Yao Lili pointed at Jing Feng and said, "Your classmate asked if there are any part-time jobs here."
Jingfeng waved to Lu Yang: "I was just bored and my family's financial situation isn't great, so I came out to find a job."
Lu Yang's impression of Jing Feng was so-so; he was just a kid who was a little clever.
He nodded and said, "The trial period is 200 yuan a month. If you don't want to work here anymore, just let us know in advance so we can find someone else."
Jingfeng smiled and agreed, then looked around and asked, "Where's Yun Kai?"
“He was too busy in the student council and has already resigned. You can fill his vacancy.”
Lu Yang asked Yao Lili to prepare a contract for Jing Feng to sign, while he went to do the accounting.
Just as Jing Feng finished signing the contract, Zheng Yuntao rushed in.
"Brother Lu, it's settled. 280,000 per floor. I did my best to negotiate that down!"
Zheng Yuntao's loud voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lu Yang immediately pulled him into an empty private room and closed the door.
Zheng Yuntao said excitedly, "It's even cheaper than before, because they also wanted to set up a stall in this market, but there were no spaces available."
Lu Yang thought for a moment and asked, "How long would it take to build two more floors?"
Zheng Yuntao thought for a moment and said, "Three months."
Lu Yang immediately made the decision: "Let's build two floors. 560,000 is fine. We can also ask the factory next door if they want to buy one."
"If it's cheap, we'll buy it. We can expand it; otherwise, the place is too small."
Zheng Yuntao's eyes lit up, and he asked cautiously, "Can you come up with 560,000?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "These three restaurants have already made their money back in the three months since they opened."
Zheng Yuntao was so shocked he almost jumped up. He looked at the lavishly decorated restaurant and couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"Okay, I'll go talk to the construction team right away."
After he finished speaking, he pushed open the door and ran out in a flash.
Lu Yang calculated the money he had. In the past three months, he had earned 500,000 yuan in the northern provincial capital, after deducting the cost of buying ginseng.
The three restaurants and the bookstore here earned a total of 580,000 yuan, plus more than 200,000 yuan from the Yangcheng Market, and the remaining 200,000 yuan he originally had.
He currently has nearly 1.5 million yuan in his account, enough to build two more floors.
Just as I was calculating, Yao Lili suddenly walked in and said, "Take a look at today's newspaper, isn't this Lu Qing?"
