Chapter 124 is a bonus chapter for four monthly tickets, a two-in-one bonus! Love you all!
There was seafood, beef, and pork in the refrigerator. He prepared three large bowls of food according to Fu Le's appetite, plus a bowl of fruit.
Fu Le's eyes lit up when he saw the glistening braised prawns, braised pork belly, braised beef, and a large bowl of fruit and milk.
"Wow, Brother Lu, you're really my brother." She threw her heavy bag onto the sofa, rushed to wash her hands, and returned in no more than ten seconds. Lu Shi had already served the rice, his face full of smiles, yet he looked a little embarrassed.
Clearly, Fu Le's words had amused him.
While engrossed in her work, she glanced up casually and noticed that Lu Shi was also eating. "Brother Lu, you haven't been waiting for me without eating, have you?"
"I can't eat all by myself." She said, and started peeling shrimp again, putting them on a small plate, and occasionally exchanging empty plates with Fu Le.
Lu Shi didn't eat much during the meal; most of it went into Fu Le's stomach.
"Your appetite is something no ordinary family can afford to feed." Lu Shi was already used to Fu Le's appetite, but he was still shocked every time.
“I can support myself. If I’m really hungry, I’ll come to your house for a meal.” Fu Le let out a burp without any regard for her image. She was always very casual in front of Lu Shi.
Lu Shi snorted speechlessly, stood up, and ladled a bowl of fruit salad for Fu Le. "I knew you were eyeing my wallet every day."
"That's a must, since you're my own brother."
One sentence made Lu Shi laugh again, "You brat."
When Lu Shi finished tidying up and came out, Fu Le was already waiting. "Brother Lu, come to the guest room. I've prepared a bunch of good things for you."
"What? Don't tell me it's those flashy watches and suits again."
"Brother Lu, you're always out there, dressed like a truck driver. What boss would want to talk to you? Hurry up and come in."
When Lu Shi saw the wardrobe full of suits, shirts, leather shoes, ties, belts, and watches, he gasped. "Do you have money to burn? How long am I supposed to wear all this? Fine, the clothes are one thing, but these luxury watches, they're all from overseas, right? How much did all that cost?!" Lu Shi looked as if he were looking at a fool who spends money like water, and he was heartbroken.
Fu Le: This is nothing. I still have a whole warehouse full of goods. I can wear a different outfit every day. She ransacked an entire floor of branded menswear.
"These were all chosen for you. If you don't want them, I'll let Zhou Han take them." Fu Le bluntly said.
Lu Shi: !!!
She turned her head with a long face, glared at someone, and gritted her teeth, saying, "How dare you!!! It's all mine!!"
Fu Le: I knew it.
"I'm not going to school tomorrow. There's a car show during the National Day holiday, so we're going to buy a car."
"What kind of vehicle are you buying? A transport truck?" Lu Shi was like a wolf surveying its territory, constantly looking through his clothes, occasionally taking them off to try them on, his smile almost splitting to the roots of his ears.
"A car befitting the status of CEO Yue Mei, with a license plate from the capital." She wants to buy one for herself too. One minivan isn't enough. In a few days, she'll take her driving test. Once she gets her license, she'll drive herself. She can't travel alone in a minivan.
"I have a car, a Santana, it cost over 200,000 yuan, have you forgotten?"
"This time, I'll spend a million." Her cosmetics are going to go international, so she can't be stingy with money.
"Are you upset?" Lu Shi paused, raising an eyebrow.
"Isn't there a listing plan in Guangzhou? And isn't the vice president of LU Department Store in France coming?" As long as Moon Charm's brands can set up counters in LU, Moon Charm's future will be unstoppable.
"Okay, I understand. Actually, I was planning to buy one in the 50s or 60s, but 100 is a bit too high for my budget." He naturally considered the issue of appearances. "But are you planning to go with the 'rice set' or the 'flower face and moon' set?"
"Go ahead with all of them. However, I need to adjust the shelf life of the 'Flower-like Beauty' product. It's already on the international stage, so a hundredfold price increase isn't unreasonable, is it?" Goods sold internationally naturally require the addition of preservative chemicals, otherwise transportation alone would be a major problem. Of course, she doesn't plan to add too much; a one-month shelf life is sufficient.
In addition, she doesn't plan to export too much of the Hua Rong Yue Mao product; the main purpose is to promote other skincare products.
"Are you really that bold? Are you so sure that Vidis will agree to let us set up a counter?"
"It has to work, even if it doesn't work." Fu Le smiled. What Vidis, who seemed so glamorous on the surface, had gone through was something that, apart from those people and Vidis herself, probably only she knew.
In later generations, when that incident came to light, Vidis's pain was evident to all. Therefore, when those things happened later, no one thought that Vidis had done anything wrong.
The Trader Lane Auto Show is located near the capital's most luxurious financial center avenue.
After breakfast, Xu Mu drove Fu Le and Lu Shi to the destination.
The capital city and financial center in 1997 already showed some of the features of later times, but it still lacked a certain grandeur. The banners that were stretched out were quite eye-catching, and the big red flowers on the vehicles on display were dazzling.
The car show was packed with people, and you couldn't see the end of it.
After Fu Le and Lu Shi got out of the car, Xu Mu went to park the car alone, and the two of them walked into the car show hall.
Fu Le's eyes were always on foreign brands. It wasn't that she didn't want to support domestic brands, but rather that domestic cars were currently not very durable and their performance in all aspects was far below international standards.
The man was handsome and the woman was fair-skinned and beautiful. As soon as they walked through the archway, they attracted a lot of attention.
The two looked with great interest at several popular high-performance, high-configuration sedans, occasionally exchanging a few words with the sales staff. Before they knew it, an hour or two had passed.
Inside the parking lot, a group of teenagers got out of their luxury cars, chatting and laughing. "Brother Yu, this auto show features the latest models from several of the most famous international brands. The prices are very 'beautiful,' so most of us can only look at them. Only someone like you, Brother Yu, has the means to buy them," a round-faced boy whispered obsequiously to the tall, handsome boy beside him.
The boy, dressed in white shirt and black pants, had delicate and handsome features. He was at an age where he cared about his image and dignity, yet he possessed an inexplicable composure. However, there was still a hint of aloofness between his brows, which was probably the only part of his youthful nature that he showed.
Hearing the compliments from those around him, the young man merely glanced at him indifferently and said, "Just looking." He had no intention of buying a car.
Actually, he came here to show his aunt a car. His aunt had just returned from abroad and didn't have a car yet. She didn't like the ones his family had, so his dad simply asked him to come and pick one out for her. His aunt trusted his taste, but she still took the pictures back with her so she could choose one herself.
"Chen Yu, didn't you say you didn't have time today?" Wen Qingqing pouted, somewhat disliking Chen Yu's attitude.
Today, Wen Qingqing was dressed in a white gauze dress, white socks, and white shoes. Her long, smooth black hair was tied back with a white ribbon. Combined with her carefully applied makeup, she looked like a soft dodder flower, making people feel an irresistible urge to protect her.
"I had class today, and my dad told me to come over at the last minute. I didn't even know I was coming until this morning." Chen Yu softened his voice in response to Wen Qingqing's displeasure. The two families had been friends for many years, and they had grown up together, so he couldn't treat her casually.
"Oh, I thought..." Wen Qingqing's displeasure dissipated.
"No, that's not true. We've been good friends for years. You know what kind of person I am," Chen Yu said reassuringly, but his impatience was almost overflowing.
Girls are such a hassle.
Upon hearing this, Wen Qingqing's eyes darkened. Another friend of many years, huh!
I refuse to believe you can escape my grasp! You probably don't know, but my dad and your dad are already considering our engagement.
"Qingqing, didn't you say Aunt Huang was going to give you a car under 300,000 yuan? Have you picked out a brand yet?" A female voice interrupted, it was Lu Qi, Wen Qingqing's childhood friend.
"Three hundred thousand? That's so expensive!" another burly boy exclaimed.
They all have some status, but 300,000 is a lot for most of their families, let alone for these students who have just entered university.
“My mom didn’t say 300,000, she just told me to pick one out and buy it if I liked it.” Wen Qingqing’s eyes were full of smiles, and a hint of pride flashed in them. She glanced at Chen Yu and saw that he was listening attentively, which made her even happier.
"Hey, what's with all those expressions? Don't you know what Aunt Huang's family does? They're jewelry merchants, why would they be short of 300,000 yuan?" Wen Qingqing's other friend, Yao Xinyi, squeezed in and hugged Wen Qingqing's arm. "Qingqing, don't you think so?"
"Oh dear, what do you mean 'isn't'? Let's hurry up and go. It's almost eleven o'clock. If we stay any longer, the auto show will be over." Wen Qingqing finally got her head together and stopped saying whatever came to mind.
Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, secretly sweating for Wen Qingqing. Only this silly girl didn't know how many little schemes her two girlfriends had up their sleeves. Fortunately, she still had some brains.
Inside the D-brand car showroom, Fu Le and Lu Shi each signed a contract for a car, paying in full. They were so happy that the sales staff were grinning from ear to ear, thanking them profusely and offering them various small gifts.
Since the cars and license plates were already in stock, once the two signed the change of ownership documents, staff would take them to the vehicle management office to complete the change. Therefore, picking up the car was very convenient, which was what Fu Le was most satisfied with.
"Have you received your driver's license?" Lu Shi asked.
"No, I'm going to take the test, just in case. I'll have to trouble the staff to help me drive it back."
Lu Shi nodded, turned around and walked into the exhibition hall to talk to the staff about delivering the car. It was during this time that several acquaintances came into the exhibition hall.
"Fu Le? What are you doing here?" A rather sharp female voice came from behind, unable to hide her surprise.
Fu Le turned his head and saw a very unfamiliar face, but it seemed like he had seen it somewhere before.
Seeing Fu Le's expression, Wen Qingqing's face darkened. "You don't know who I am, do you?"
"Qingqing, who is this?" The girl's sweet, delicate voice made people physically uncomfortable.
Fu Le wanted to leave. If he couldn't afford to offend them, couldn't he at least avoid them?
"Fu Le, where are you going?! I'm asking you a question! What are you doing here?!" Wen Qingqing blocked Fu Le's path with a long face, her hostility coming out of nowhere.
"Qingqing, who is this? Did she offend you? Do you want me to teach her a lesson?" Yao Xinyi stepped forward and took Wen Qingqing's arm, her eyebrows raised and her eyes fierce, looking like she was about to fight Fu Le at any moment.
Wen Qingqing rolled her eyes. "Fu Le, we're all alumni, why are you so cold? It's just that I called you Xiaohu, is it necessary to be so petty and ignore me over such a small thing? I've already taken the initiative to call you, what more do you want? Besides, Xiaohu sounds nice."
"Xiao Hu? You're from Hubei Province? Oh, that's a nice name, and it even has a regional connotation, so people can immediately tell where you're from. What's there to be angry about? Honestly, that's how outsiders are, so petty." Lu Qi stepped forward, looking at Fu Le as if she were something dirty, flanking Wen Qingqing with Yao Xinyi on either side.
Fu Le: ...They really are alike, exactly the same.
"You lot must have eaten shit! Your mouths stink! Ugly as you are, and foul-mouthed too. Get out of my way!" Just because she doesn't show her power doesn't mean she's a pushover!
She finally remembered who it was: the idiot she met during military training.
"Say that again, you fucking idiot!!" Yao Xinyi's face changed after being cursed at. She let go of Wen Qingqing's arm and stepped forward to beat her up. Her posture revealed her usual arrogant behavior.
"Yao Xinyi!! What are you doing? Don't cause trouble!" Seeing the conflict escalating, Chen Yu immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yao Xinyi, and scolded her in a low voice.
"What the hell have I done? It's all because this woman has such a foul mouth. Chen Yu, you just wait and see. I always do things honestly and with a legitimate reason. Fu Le, huh? Serves you right for your foul mouth!!"
Yao Xinyi pushed Chen Yu aside, stepped forward, and slapped Fu Le across the face.
"Fu Le, how could you do this?" Wen Qingqing feigned tears as she glared at Fu Le, but the schadenfreude in her eyes was all too obvious.
The other boy stood on the sidelines, watching the show unfold, without saying a word, a smile on his face.
However, to everyone's surprise, things did not go as they expected. A tall figure suddenly appeared and pushed Yao Xinyi away.
"Ah..." The sudden, enormous force caused Yao Xinyi to fall backward, and there was no one behind her.
"Ah!! Xinyi!"
"ah!!"
"Watch out!!! Xinyi!"
While everyone was in chaos, Lu Shi had already pulled Fu Le aside, turned around and left, saying, "You don't even bother with this mental patient, let's go!"
Fu Le chuckled, "In this capital city, one punch can take down a big shot. You're really bold, aren't you afraid you'll fail?"
"I don't make money from medicine, and besides, I don't make any money from it. Take it or leave it." Lu Shi was furious. He had seen everything that had just happened. If Yao Xinyi hadn't made a move behind him and Fu Le was about to suffer a loss, he wouldn't have rushed out to fight with a group of girls.
But this is really going too far. How can people in college still give each other nicknames? These kids really have no manners. I don't know what kind of family they come from. They look respectable, but they do nothing right.
