Chapter 82 Harmonious Coexistence
I slept well all night.
Jiang Ruzhen had just finished washing up when she heard a knock on the door.
"Are you up? Come out for dinner."
Upon hearing Lu Mingzheng's voice, Jiang Ruzhen's face flushed again.
Last night, the two of them were on the sofa, so close together, and Lu Mingzheng deliberately tried to seduce her at close range.
Not only did he get close to her face, but he also shamelessly grabbed her hand and rubbed it back and forth on her abs.
This almost made her lose her wild side and pounce on him.
If she hadn't bitten her tongue at the last moment to regain her senses and escape, she would have truly made a mistake.
If this were in the modern era, in that kind of ambiguous situation, she would use the money to take advantage of the person and leave them with nothing.
But that won't work in this day and age!
If you sleep with someone, you'll be responsible for them for life, and she can't afford that.
To be honest, she was really just lusting after his body.
She admitted that she was also a bit of a flirt, and that she used to drool over those cute boys who flirted with her in video apps.
Fortunately, poverty at the time preserved her virtue as a woman.
Now, it is the times that have shaped her chastity.
Jiang Ruzhen turned around and went back into the bathroom to wash her face twice. She only went out after the blush on her cheeks had faded.
Her eyes darted around, avoiding Lu Mingzheng's gaze, and she sat down at the table to eat in silence.
Seeing her ostrich-like behavior, Lu Mingzheng secretly chuckled to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.
"After we finish eating, I'll go with you to complete the transfer procedures."
Jiang Ruzhen mumbled as she drank her porridge, "No need, I can manage on my own."
Lu Mingzheng reached out and lifted Jiang Ruzhen's chin, speaking earnestly.
"I'm worried that there might be some survivors from yesterday's incident. What if they target you again?"
"Oh." Jiang Ruzhen dodged his finger and lowered her head to continue eating.
Seeing that she no longer objected, Lu Mingzheng buried his head in his food. The two finished their meal in silence and drove to the two families to complete the formalities.
As Jiang Ruzhen pulled out stacks of money in front of Lu Mingzheng, Lu Mingzheng frowned more and more, looking puzzled.
According to the information he found, Jiang Ruzhen shouldn't have that much money!
Where did she get so much cash?
It fell from the sky, was blown in by the wind, and was sent to her by the God of Wealth.
Jiang Ruzhen happily recalled the process of receiving this bag of money yesterday, and was in a great mood.
Since her rebirth, her fortune has been like a cheat code.
Besides doing business, this god of windfall also showed her great favor.
They kept sending her money in all sorts of ways, and she couldn't keep up with it all.
Although her experience yesterday was quite dangerous, she also reaped rich rewards.
It's like she got those three houses in Hangzhou for free, and even made an extra 40,000 yuan. She's practically the reincarnation of the God of Wealth.
With all the necessary documents in place, the procedures were completed quickly. Jiang Ruzhen even generously gave each of the two neighborhood aunties a 50-yuan "kickback."
The two older women were so happy that they kept praising the young couple, saying that good people are rewarded, that they would grow old together, and that they would have a child soon.
After receiving the property certificate, Jiang Ruzhen immediately took Lu Mingzheng to the courtyard in the tea garden.
She proudly recounted to Lu Mingzheng the process of buying the courtyard house and her plans for its future renovation.
Lu Mingzheng listened attentively the whole time, and only spoke slowly after she finished speaking.
"If anyone asks where your money came from, just say I lent it to you."
"Huh? Why?" Jiang Ruzhen asked, puzzled.
Lu Mingzheng raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead. "With such a smart brain, think about it again!"
Jiang Ruzhen tentatively asked, "Is it because the funds for that case don't match up?"
Lu Mingzheng smiled but didn't say anything, and Jiang Ruzhen's face immediately fell.
"Don't worry, I've covered for you. I've also taken the blame for that fat pig's injury."
"Oh." Jiang Ruzhen suppressed her smile and muttered softly.
"I owe you too much, I can't pay you back."
Lu Mingzheng raised his hand and touched the top of her head, replying softly, "No need to repay it, maybe I owed you in my past life."
Jiang Ruzhen couldn't help but laugh when she heard Lu Mingzheng say that.
"Have you been taking some kind of saccharin lately? You've become so much nicer to talk to, and you're not so sarcastic anymore."
Lu Mingzheng laughed along, "I wouldn't dare. I used to be sarcastic to get your attention, but to be sarcastic now would be courting death!"
Jiang Ruzhen rolled her eyes at him. She was really annoyed by his sharp tongue during their first few meetings and wished she could poison him into silence.
"Since you can't pay it back in time, just pay it back slowly. I'll treat you to lunch."
"Wow! That's rare!" Lu Mingzheng teased Jiang Ruzhen. "I've finally made it through the tough times and am seeing some returns."
The two smiled at each other and walked out side by side.
Before leaving, Jiang Ruzhen entrusted her tea garden to her neighbor, since she didn't know how to take care of such things.
The neighbors can also help her look after the house.
They agreed to split the profits 30/70 each year, and she would only take 30%.
The neighbor was delighted and immediately signed a five-year agreement with her.
After taking care of these trivial matters, the two drove back to the hotel. In order to match Lu Mingzheng's status, Jiang Ruzhen specially invited him to a Western restaurant for dinner.
As soon as the two sat down, Lu Mingzheng remembered the time he overheard Jiang Ruzhen cursing a gold digger here.
He said with a smile, "I was here with the second brother last time. I wanted to come over and say hello, but I was afraid of affecting your performance, so I didn't."
Jiang Ruzhen felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, not expecting that Lu Mingzheng had seen her shrewish and cursing scene.
She awkwardly changed the subject, "Luckily, I did well back then, which is why I got to know a big boss like Sister Tang."
If possible, I'd like to establish a long-term supply chain with her. The only inconvenience is that my shop doesn't have a phone, making it very difficult to contact her.
Jiang Ruzhen mentioned Tang Mi for business purposes, but Lu Mingzheng immediately thought of the time when Tang Mi introduced him to a potential partner.
"Hmm, installing a telephone is a good idea. It would be best if we could communicate by phone from now on, without having to meet so often."
If that Sister Tang introduces Jiang Ruzhen to potential partners every time they meet, he can't possibly follow her around 24/7!
If he ever happens to meet someone he likes and gets snatched away halfway through, he'll definitely buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it to death.
The two chatted and laughed as the restaurant manager walked over and bowed to Lu Mingzheng.
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Bai just called the front desk and said she wants you to come to her place immediately because she has something urgent to discuss with you."
Lu Mingzheng's face immediately darkened. "Tell her I have important guests and can't come today."
Yesterday, he almost didn't see Jiang Ruzhen because he wasn't watched for half a day. Today, his mother came looking for him again.
After finally finishing all the trivial matters, he wanted to take Jiang Ruzhen around and have some fun!
Seeing the manager's troubled expression, Jiang Ruzhen asked curiously, "Who is President Bai?"
“My mom,” Lu Mingzheng replied through gritted teeth.
"Your mom must have something important to tell you. You should go back now! I'll be staying here for a few more days. Let's make an appointment another time!"
Jiang Ruzhen gave him a serious suggestion. Although Lu Mingzheng was reluctant, he was worried about his mother in case something happened to her. He quickly ate a couple of bites of steak and left.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told Jiang Ruzhen to wait for him to come back so he could go out for a stroll with her.
Jiang Ruzhen nodded in agreement. After Lu Mingzheng left, she ate alone in the restaurant. Then the manager came over and told her that someone was calling her.
"Looking for me?" Jiang Ruzhen wondered. Who would call her?
Not many people know her in Hangzhou. Could it be that Sister Tang came to ask her to dance Peng Chacha again?
She went to answer the phone with a cheerful smile, and her second son's loud voice came through the phone.
"Mom, when are you coming back? I can't hold on much longer!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruzhen asked anxiously.
"It's that batch of export goods you brought in. Didn't you tell me to rent a place in Yangcheng to store them for a few days until you come back?"
As soon as the goods arrived in Beijing, I thought I'd take a few out to test the waters, but a lot of people were eyeing them. I already had dozens of orders in my hand, what should I do?
Should we just dispose of this batch of goods in Beijing?
ah?
Jiang Ruzhen was also a little stunned when she heard the news. She knew that this batch of export goods would sell well, but she did not expect it to sell this well.
She originally planned to stay in Hangzhou for a few more days before going back to deal with the shipment.
But plans can change in an instant, so she hurriedly said, "Then find a warehouse in the capital to store it first, and I'll take the train back right away."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ruzhen called Tang Mi to explain the situation and say goodbye in advance.
I hurriedly paid the bill and ran upstairs to pack my things.
The Dahua Hotel has a shuttle service for guests, and it took Jiang Ruzhen directly to the train station.
Jiang Ruzhen only had time to leave a message for Lu Mingzheng. Lu Mingzheng rushed back in the afternoon, only to find that she had already left.
He was so angry that he had a headache and suspected that Jiang Ruzhen was deliberately avoiding him.
