At the dinner table, they chatted back and forth. Lu Feng didn't talk about how much money he had or how much influence he had. He just relied on his knowledge of overseas markets to keep the two men completely on the edge of their seats.
Zhang Fengxia sat to the side listening to Lu Feng talk eloquently, and sometimes she couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps this is why people like to socialize. At least everyone seemed to be very happy at this dinner party, and there was constant laughter.
Four people can't have fun staying indoors, but going out for a meal and chatting with someone can be incredibly enjoyable.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Erluju still seemed interested in Zhang Fengxia. Lu Feng put his arm around Erluju's shoulder and whispered, "Brother, don't be so pathetic. What era are we living in? Still playing with domestic stuff? You should be thinking about making money now. Foreign stuff is much more exciting."
"Brother Lu, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. If I make money, I will never treat you unfairly. You can ask around in the underworld; I, Erluju, am the most loyal person." Erluju said, slightly drunk, "Brother, if you can point me in the right direction, I will be extremely grateful."
"These are all minor issues. I'll see this through to the end. For things like electronic diodes, just go find a subsidiary of Jiafeng Electronics and mention my name. The lowest price—it'll be pure profit!" Lu Feng pulled out a stack of business cards from his pocket, including one from the head of the production department of a subsidiary, and handed it over, saying, "Just mention my name!"
"No problem, bro, take care!"
Lu Feng waved his hand and got into the car. Going to subordinate enterprises to set up factories or purchase goods under Lu Feng's name would definitely result in high prices. Jiafeng Electronics is now not only exporting various parts and components, but also providing one-stop services for people to start their own businesses. It is quite proficient in various businesses.
The sea breeze caressed his cheeks as Lu Feng lit a cigarette and gazed at the dark sea. To his left stretched the boundless ocean, while to his right lay a vibrant night scene. Along the roadsides, groups of children were setting off firecrackers, and fireworks bloomed in the distant sky.
"Just tease him a bit, you wouldn't even look at his little bit of money. Why are you making such a fuss? Are you angry?" Zhang Fengxia, driving the car, glanced at Lu Feng and said, "Because he's interested in me?"
Zhang Fengxia's face held a mocking expression, as if she had won some kind of victory.
Seeing how happy she was, Lu Feng smiled but didn't say anything. Fireworks exploded one after another in the distant sky, and he just watched quietly.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you afraid that Sister Xiaoyan will be taken away by someone else?" Zhang Fengxia asked again.
“I’m not afraid of anyone being taken away by me, I’m just afraid of being alone. The New Year is almost here, it’s so good to have you all by my side!” Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat emotional, and said, “I used to mistakenly think that having money would make me happy and that I could do whatever I wanted. But after I got money, I realized that when money is powerless, that’s true despair.”
In his previous life, Lu Feng was busy with work and socializing. He always believed that money could bring the greatest happiness in the world, but whenever he had free time, he didn't know who to chat with. That emptiness urged him to throw himself back into his work.
Only now do I realize that money is important, but so is a close friend. A life without lack of money or love is a perfect life.
“Why so many sentimentalities? Sometimes I think you’re quite mature for your age. You’re just living one day at a time, so cheer up, especially since you’re so rich.” Zhang Fengxia muttered a couple of times and said, “Things will work themselves out. Sometimes, maintaining the status quo is a solution. People who are meant to leave will leave eventually. If she doesn’t want to leave, she’ll stay no matter what.”
Lu Feng could tell she thought he was reminiscing about the relationship between the three of them, so he said, "It's not like I'm missing an answer. Just drive your car."
Time flies. Another year has passed. Lu Feng feels as if the few years since he returned have been decades of his previous life. The first year was filled with hardship, the second year with ambition, and now he has encountered a bottleneck.
Compared to his success in business, his family life was a complete mess. The current situation should be considered the most harmonious state. Lu Feng had also thought about leaving Jiang Xiaoyan. After all, he stayed in the first place hoping that this poor woman would have a better life.
But he found himself back in his previous life after leaving her, working every day. He met a woman for the first time and could completely open his heart to her. It felt like coming home, where you never have to worry about your family abandoning you.
Compared to his love in his previous life, and the sense of crisis that could turn him into a stranger with just a message, Jiang Xiaoyan gave him a feeling that no one else could replace.
On January 31, 1995, New Year's Eve, firecrackers were going off all the time. Duoduo brought back a dog from somewhere and sat it by the door. Jiang Xiaoyan and Zhang Fengxia were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Lu Feng was cleaning the table and setting out drinks. The TV was on, showing New Year's greetings advertisements from various companies before the Spring Festival Gala.
Life is simple, yet fulfilling. I sneak a bite in the kitchen, play with Duoduo, and occasionally tease the dog.
As the Spring Festival Gala began and the host greeted everyone with "Happy New Year," countless families across the country turned their attention to their television sets.
Those who are reunited are always reunited in a similar way, while the lonely feel especially lonely on this holiday. Su Yourong stayed alone in the villa. The spacious and luxurious living room was empty with only her there. The large TV was playing the Spring Festival Gala, but she felt particularly desolate.
Feeling a bit restless, she noticed how quiet the room was. She could even hear her own heartbeat. She stood up from the sofa, lit a cigarette, and paced back and forth in the room. The ashtray on the expensive coffee table was already full of cigarette butts.
