Lu Yang looked at the invitation again, which said that he could bring one person with him.
After much deliberation, Lu Yang decided to take Zheng Yuntao with him.
After all, if he gets too busy in the future, Zheng Yuntao will have to step in and manage those counters in the mall.
The following morning, after meeting up with Zheng Yuntao, he discussed the invitations.
Zheng Yuntao was shocked and excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Boss Qian is one of the richest people in Guangzhou. He sent you an invitation!"
Lu Yang was also shocked. He had always thought of himself as a nobody, someone like Boss Qian who would never even notice him.
Lu Yang, who had never met any important figures in his two lives, was feeling a little flustered at this moment.
Zheng Yuntao comforted him instead, saying, "Don't worry, I've heard that Boss Qian is very approachable."
Lu Yang was speechless: "How could someone who can run such a big business be approachable?"
“He is approachable to people with power and influence, not to someone like me who has no power or influence.”
Zheng Yuntao scratched his head, a look of utter confusion on his face: "Brother Lu, do you know why the Fu family father and son are targeting you?"
Lu Yang tilted his head to look at him, and Zheng Yuntao said in a serious tone, "Because you are a rich person."
Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh, and spread his hands, saying, "You'll see what powerful and influential people are like when you get to that banquet."
"When you get to that kind of banquet, listen more, observe more, and talk less, understand?"
Zheng Yuntao nodded seriously, excitedly pulling Lu Yang and saying, "Let's go order two suits and buy a pair of leather shoes. We need to look presentable."
Lu Yang wholeheartedly agreed. He believed that one should respect appearances before character, and whether he could successfully squeeze into Guangzhou's high society depended on this opportunity.
After thinking about it, he called Cheng Lin again and asked him to go to Chuncheng to get two good ginseng roots.
He specially transferred 100,000 yuan to Cheng Lin, who agreed without hesitation.
Lu Yang went to handle the business registration procedures for Qingjin Garment Factory with Zheng Yuntao first. He had classes in the afternoon, so he had to go back to school first.
He received a call from Cheng Lin when school ended at around 4 p.m.
"Yangzi, guess who I saw in Kunming?"
Cheng Lin said with a loud laugh.
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "Lu Qing? What's she doing in Chuncheng?"
Cheng Lin stopped laughing and said, "She opened a clothing store here, but there are clothing stores all over the place on Chuncheng Commercial Street."
"Her clothes are okay, but nothing special, and her business is so-so."
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes and sneered, "She's finally got a brain."
Cheng Lin couldn't help but ask, "Should I cause her some trouble?"
Lu Yang shook his head and said, "No need, I have my own clothing supply channels. I'll mail you a catalog of the latest clothing styles in a couple of days."
"Send someone with my clothing catalog to ask if any clothing stores want to buy from her. The key is the clothing stores around her. I'll openly drive her clothing stores out of business."
Cheng Lin couldn't help but laugh; he knew Lu Yang would never let Lu Qing go.
As Lu Yang spoke, he had already rushed towards the warehouse.
After giving Cheng Lin his instructions, he called the warehouse manager on the way and asked him to prepare a catalog of the new clothing styles for the day.
As October approaches, people in the south are still wearing vests and shorts, but people in the north are already preparing for winter clothes.
So what Lu Yang wanted was a catalog of early winter clothing styles. He mailed all the catalogs that the manager had prepared to Cheng Lin, and the rest was up to Cheng Lin.
Lu Yang took some time to go with Zheng Yuntao to the best designer in the area, using his financial power to cut in line and order a custom-made suit and new leather shoes, all so as not to lose face at the banquet.
Four days later, Lu Yang received the two wild ginseng roots. They were obviously expensive and better than the ones that had been mailed to him before.
The banquet was scheduled to start at 7 p.m. Lu Yang and Zheng Yuntao dressed up specially and arrived at the banquet at 6:50 p.m. with their invitations and two wild ginseng roots.
The banquet was held at the largest hotel in Guangzhou. When the two arrived, the hotel entrance was already full of luxury cars.
After the two got out of the car, they walked quickly to the door, where Lu Yang handed the invitation to the bodyguard.
The bodyguard glanced at the invitation and said politely, "Please come in, both of you."
Lu Yang nodded slightly and went inside with Zheng Yuntao.
As soon as I entered the lobby, a faint fragrance wafted over me; many wealthy women are now following the trend and buying foreign perfumes.
Soothing piano music echoed throughout the hall. Zheng Yuntao exclaimed softly, "Look at that champagne tower, so luxurious!"
Lu Yang calmly handed the two fine wild ginseng roots to the man in the suit at the door. He noticed that the people in front of them had also given gifts to this man.
The man glanced at Lu Yang and politely thanked him.
After entering the banquet, the two glanced around and found that they didn't recognize anyone, but many of them had appeared in local newspapers and on local television.
Zheng Yuntao followed Lu Yang with a slightly awkward gait, looking restrained and flustered.
Lu Yang comforted him, "Relax. I heard that two Hong Kong businessmen are coming to Guangzhou to invest. I wonder if they will attend the banquet today."
"If they come, we can learn about them too. Maybe we'll have a chance to have some soup with them someday."
Zheng Yuntao tilted his head, looking at Lu Yang in surprise. He didn't know where Lu Yang got this information from; he hadn't heard a word about the Hong Kong businessman.
As the two were talking, Boss Qian walked over, looked at Lu Yang politely, and said, "Student Lu, it's a pleasure to have you here."
Lu Yang quickly clinked glasses with Boss Qian and said respectfully, "It is my honor to attend the birthday banquet."
"I just don't know how... you knew about me."
Mr. Qian smiled and said, "My nephew is a junior at Shandong University. He has been observing you for a long time and has talked about you."
Lu Yang was startled. Someone had been observing him for a long time, but he hadn't noticed at all.
Sure enough, even after being reborn, he was still not as strong as the second-generation rich kid in many ways.
He gave a dry laugh and said, "I see."
Boss Qian waved to the side, and a young man walked over quickly. The young man was dressed in a sharp suit and had an arrogant expression.
But Lu Yang recognized this person; his name was Qian Jianyun, a prominent figure at Shandong University.
Qian Jianyun greeted Boss Qian respectfully, "Uncle."
Mr. Qian nodded: "Since you introduced him, you accompany Mr. Lu for a while. I need to go see Mayor Yu."
"You're busy."
Qian Jianyun seemed quite afraid of Boss Qian, and watched him leave with a smile.
He turned around and, when facing Lu Yang, resumed his arrogant demeanor.
"Student Lu, our Qian family is holding this banquet today for two reasons: first, to celebrate my grandmother's birthday, and second, to announce my marriage to Cuiwei. It is your honor to be here to witness our happiness!"
Zheng Yuntao asked in a low voice, "Cuiwei? Who is that?"
Lu Yang replied blankly, "I don't know him."
Qian Jianyun's face flushed red, seemingly furious: "What did you say?"
