New Era Mall.
In Liu Laocai's office, Lu Ming slowly sipped the tea Liu Laocai brewed himself and said with a smile, "You've improved recently and have become more patient." He looked around and asked, "Where's Sister Hongmei?"
Liu Laocai spread his hands and said nothing.
Lu Ming stood up and walked to the window, only to see many people standing in the square in front of the New Era Shopping Mall, pointing at the shopping mall building.
"Brother Liu, thank you!" Lu Ming said with a smile: "Only you can let me do whatever I want!"
Now the New Times Mall is almost obscured by a huge advertisement covering the entire building. The advertisement is a huge picture with many black images pouring into several communities. If you look closely, you can easily identify those communities as several blocks in the Third District.
The slogan above is, "This is the future chosen by Caoying's candidate for the Third District!"
It is true that only Liu Laocai is willing to let this happen. In the past, it was a picture of a congressman's election slogan, which was positive and quite good. But now it is a huge advertisement attacking the other candidate, with dark colors and a bit scary, which makes people feel uncomfortable. If the New Era Shopping Mall was the boss of the second person, he would not agree to do this.
"Qianhang, you seem to be quite free today. You don't even know the effect of the advertisement. Why do you still need to come and take a look?" Liu Laocai said with a smile.
"It's the second round of consultations today. Nothing interesting. I just came out for a walk."
In the second round, he asked his three apprentices to go into battle together and argue with them about that matter. It was impossible to reach a settlement anyway, and he made the bottom line very clear to them.
However, he was still somewhat worried, so he gave Rodman an order to follow and take care of it.
"Qianhang, you should buy all my shares in this shopping mall!" Liu Laocai said suddenly.
Lu Ming was startled and looked back.
Liu Laocai smiled bitterly: "Hongmei is leaving me. She doesn't want anything. It seems that she is going back to her ex-husband. I want to set up a fund for her so that she can have a guaranteed life in the future and have money to treat her husband's illness."
Lu Ming slowly walked back and sat down, picked up the teacup and drank tea silently.
"Besides, my eldest son and his wife gave me a grandson. Although I can't bear to see them, he is my grandson after all..."
"I was thinking that after I sold all my shares, I could divide the proceeds among them. And the second brother should also have a share." As he said this, Liu Laocai sighed deeply.
"What about you? Are you going to live in seclusion?" Lu Ming looked at him.
This old man was also decisive and ruthless in the business world when he was young, but when he got older, he lost his edge and became very weak.
As for Deng Hongmei's psychology, it is not difficult to understand. To Deng Hongmei, Liu Laocai's family is considered a wealthy family. She is overwhelmed by Liu Laocai's generosity in spending money lavishly and yearns for the life of a wealthy family. However, when she becomes a member of this wealthy family, she feels that such a life is just like this and not so mysterious and grand.
After all, as a person, Liu Laocai has nothing that can charm young girls, except money.
Moreover, the two of them have never had children, which might have become a rift. After all, Liu Laocai had been looking forward to it so much.
As for Deng Hongmei wanting to leave and saying that she doesn't need any property, it doesn't matter whether it's a tactic of playing hard to get or not.
Liu Laocai wanted to give her a share, as long as he felt comfortable and at ease.
When living, the most important thing is to feel comfortable.
Of course, if you don’t live to the same stage as Liu Laocai and still worry about the daily necessities of life, you naturally cannot understand why.
The so-called equal exchange, Liu Laocai felt that the happiness that Deng Hongmei brought him during her time with him was worth the money, so there was no problem with that.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming said, "If you want to sell it, I can buy it. I'll find someone to do it later. However, you should have at least 20 left for yourself, right? Give it to me later and I'll release it to the Han Dynasty for you. For the first two years, I can double your share every year."
Liu Laocai smiled bitterly, "Alas, I am not interested in these anymore, but thank you, Qianxing!"
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and it was Yang Yanran who carefully opened the door. In the early days, Liu Laocai had taken Lu Ming to Deng Hongmei's house to buy at the bottom.
She smiled apologetically, "Boss Lu, your fifteenth concubine is here to see you!"
Lu Ming was stunned. Couldn’t he get rid of this little tail
"My aunt is so considerate of you. She has been standing at the entrance of the mall. But, I can see that she is not an ordinary person. Although no one dares to watch, she is standing there. In this new era, there has never been such a distinguished guest. Of course I have to ask her. When I asked, I found out that it was my fifteenth aunt. She didn't let me come to inform you, saying that you were busy and afraid to delay your work, so I just waited for you." Yang Yanran smiled and imitated the vivid description, "But how can I wait? I can't wait at the entrance of the mall. What will happen if those rough people secretly look at me back and forth? I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that those rough people will not have this blessing, and they will have stye in their eyes when they go back..."
Lu Ming heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, so he waved his hand and asked, "Where is she?"
"Oh, I told my aunt, you can wait upstairs. There is an empty office upstairs. I will take you there. My aunt is very approachable and not arrogant at all. She really followed me upstairs. Now, it's in my office next door. There is no one else. Besides, men are not allowed to enter my room usually. It's not manly and it won't blaspheme my aunt's wife."
Liu Laocai laughed, "You are getting more and more talkative. However, it sounds like my little sister-in-law is also a fairy. You are going back hundreds of years. Are you desecrating the rooms where men have stayed?"
Yang Yanran smiled apologetically: "I, I really don't feel that way."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Okay, call her over..."
Liu Laocai looked at Lu Ming in surprise: "Qianxing, you're already ranked fifteenth? You didn't even send a letter?"
"No, let's talk about it in detail later." Lu Ming shook his head.
At this time, there was a light knock on the office door. Yang Yanran gently pushed the door open and stepped aside.
The graceful figure in an ice-blue gauze dress walked in. It was Jennifer, wearing a beautiful hat with snow-white feathers and holding a small pearl chain bag in both hands. Although her delicate face still had a childish look, her temperament and posture were elegant and calm. Even if she was standing in a line of supermodels, she would definitely stand out from the crowd.
However, when she saw Lu Ming, she immediately lowered her head timidly. In front of Lu Ming, she was always like a little white rabbit meeting a big bad wolf.
Liu Laocai was stunned. Although he was not interested in young girls, Qianxing's fifteenth concubine was too much.
"Oh, you're just in time." Lu Ming waved at her and said, "Go back and buy Brother Liu's mall. Sell it at the market price. Find an accountant to check the accounts carefully. Don't do a loss-making deal."
"Okay!" When Jennifer heard that Lu Ming had a task for her, her delicate face immediately showed some joy and excitement.
Lu Ming smiled at Liu Laocai and said, "Xingguang Mall is hers. Besides, if she is asked to use her own money to buy our shares and suffers a loss, she will cry to me later."
Liu Laocai smiled and said, "It's one thing to do, and what is the market price? If I sell it at the market price, I'm afraid I won't get paid next year. Let's sell it at the normal price, minus 10% of the market price..."
Lu Ming waved his hand, "Let's not discuss this. Money is not a good thing. You said that you actually wanted to sell it to me at a low price, and I wanted to spend more money. But when we discuss it, it still feels weird and alienated. Let's not talk about it. Let Jennifer handle it. She has a management team to help her run the business. I have checked it out and it is a very capable team."
Jennifer heard this, lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, Master."
This was the standard Zhongzhou concubine's way of addressing the head of the household, spoken by this pure Western aristocratic girl, with a slightly childish and non-native tone. Lu Ming was stunned when he heard it, but he had to admit, it was quite arousing, and his heart couldn't help but be slightly moved.
I also know what she is thanking me for.
He did ask someone to investigate the management team that managed her business. After all, old Renault must have thought that he would soon intervene in these industries, but that was not the case now. If this innocent girl was sucked dry by those managers, it would be his responsibility. Therefore, he asked someone to check their background.
“Xingguang, Xingguang…” Liu Laocai murmured with a wry smile. Even in the city, Xingguang is considered a relatively large shopping mall.
My New Era is the best shopping mall in Beiguan, but it is nothing once you enter the urban area. Xinfa District is the newest expanded area in the urban area, and many new industries have emerged there. Xingguang Shopping Mall is one of them. It is a luxurious shopping mall with various high-end brands. Compared with it, My New Era is like a pheasant seeing a phoenix.
This Qianxing brother, every concubine he married is a super rich woman, where can he go to complain? As for me, I can't even support myself as a waitress. Comparing myself with others will really make me angry.
"Okay, it's time for us to go!" Lu Ming said to Jennifer.
I also have a lot of emotions in my heart. Looking at the final outcomes of Lao Liu and Deng Hongmei, how lucky am I
After looking at and listening to what he said, he immediately said goodbye to Liu Laocai politely, and then followed little Jennifer closely beside him.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Why are you so happy?"
Jennifer whispered, "Master is right, we..."
Lu Ming was stunned. He didn't notice that just one word could make her so anxious.
But then he frowned: "Master, Master, who taught you?"
Jennifer was startled, lowered her head and said timidly: “Yes, it was Kylena who said that I should call you like this, isn’t it?”
Lu Ming shook his head and thought that Kylena was not a good person. She instigated her husband's sister for the sake of herself and her husband.
After all, from the perspective of Western values, the relationship between a concubine and a lover is completely different. It is a very deformed and extremely unequal marriage relationship. There are even Western sociologists in the imperial capital who criticize concubines as being slaves of Central Asian men.
Shaquilleno, on the other hand, always looked a little guilty whenever he saw his sister.
Seeing this pure and noble beautiful girl looking timid and about to cry, Lu Ming said helplessly: "There's nothing wrong..."
Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw Yang Yanran running towards him. She didn't care that she was wearing high heels. She ran up to him and said breathlessly, "Director Lu, the security guard downstairs just called and said that a few patrolmen came to take down your campaign advertisement in the mall."
