The next morning, the three of them met at the hotel restaurant. Lumi yawned as he picked up his breakfast, and Zhu Huicang had dark circles under his eyes.
"Hui Cang, didn't you sleep well? What about you, Lumi, you've found your bed?"
"Yes, I am."
"Yes, I am."
The two of them said in unison.
Lu Fengjun shook his head." Sigh, young people are really delicate!”
Lumi didn't sleep well, but he had a good appetite. There was a small cake, cheese pizza, boiled shrimp in salt water, and garlic broccoli. Everything tasted good. Lumi ate happily, but it was a little dry.
A bowl of clear soup was slowly pushed over from the opposite side. His gaze followed the bowl, to the beautiful fingers, and then to the owner of the fingers. It was Zhu Huicang.
"You choked, right? You drink first." Worried that Lumi would misunderstand, he immediately added,""Oh, I haven't touched it yet."
" Thank you..." Lumi couldn't be polite anymore. He was indeed choked.
"Slow down…"
Can you not be so gentle to me? Are you like this with every girl? Lumi cursed.
Zhu Huicang could tell that Lumi was actually a girl with a temperament. For some reason, he felt that there was a distance between them.
Before they met, Zhu Huicang had listened to every conversation between Lumi and his father. The little girl spoke a little fast, but her thoughts could definitely keep up with her mouth. Her logic was particularly clear, and the questions she wanted to express could always be understood by the person opposite her, so there was no way to criticize her.
They had been working together for so long, and it could be said to be a pleasant cooperation. After he gave the phone to her, the two of them communicated a few times because of the sample problem. They could understand each other well. So when Lumi mentioned to his father that he wanted to occupy a spot on Yabao Road and asked if the Zhu family had any interest, Zhu Huicang nodded to his father. In fact, the factory was very busy and it was really difficult to spare people to go to Beijing. However, he was willing to support Lumi from the bottom of his heart and help this girl realize her wish. Zhu Huicang was looking forward to this meeting.
After meeting her, Lumi also matched Zhu Huicang's previous guess and portrait of her. Unknowingly, Zhu Huicang had expectations.
After thinking hard last night, he came to a conclusion: It was a matter of age.
He was 24 years old, which was very old compared to Lumi's 17 years old. 17 years old, beautiful and intelligent. Zhu Huicang couldn't help but wonder if Lumi would feel that there was a generation gap between them. If there was, how could it be eliminated? Was Lumi willing to wait for him? Zhu Huicang decided that he was willing to wait for Lumi, until she grew up, until she became an adult, until she entered university, until she could come to Beijing…
Why did he care so much about Lumi's attitude towards him? Zhu Huicang thought for almost the whole night and asked himself repeatedly. His character did not allow him to be unclear about feelings. Finally, he came to a conclusion: He liked Lumi. She liked him, so she cared.
Zhu Huicang, a 24-year-old youth who had no feelings for anyone, was speechless for a while when he realized his feelings. Oh my god, am I a pervert or a paedophile? No, it wasn't. Zhu Huicang immediately denied it. Lumi was 17 years old, not 7 years old. Moreover, Zhu Huicang felt that Lumi was a little premature. How could a girl at this age be so concerned about her career and family?
Lumi was definitely a special case. A gentleman would definitely be able to woo an outstanding girl. That's right, he was a gentleman.
Zhu Huicang was even more concerned about Lumi after he made up his mind. He felt sorry for the girl when he saw her sleeping. He wanted to care for her, but he was worried that he would scare her.
He saw that the girl had taken so many staple foods, but she did not take any drinks. She didn't want to drink the soup, but she followed her heart and took a bowl of soup. Noticing that Lumi was choking, he brought the soup to her at once.
Zhu Huicang, who had always been steady and confident, also started to worry about his gains and losses.
"Let's go after eating!" Lu Fengjun suggested.
Zhu Huicang and Lumi had no objections. The three of them took a taxi and set off for Yabao Road.
Yabao Road was still bustling with people.
Lu Fengjun walked to the Zhajiang Noodles stall and greeted the boss warmly,""Brother, do you still remember me?" As he spoke, he took out a bucket of tea leaves from his bag and handed it over.
"Oh, it's you. Of course I remember.”The boss was not polite with Lu Fengjun's gift. He took the teacup and said with a smile,"You're too polite! How was it? Have you bought a house?"
"Thanks to you, I bought it." Lu Fengjun also imitated the local accent.
"That's great! What's going on today?"
"I'm still interested in this street. Can you tell me more?”
When the owner of the noodles heard Lu Fengjun's words, his eyes swept to the left and right. He leaned close to Lu Fengjun's ear and whispered,"Yabao Road. The road is narrow, dirty, and messy. They're talking about moving.”
"Where are we moving to?”
"Outside the main street, but he didn't say when exactly. There are so many people, we have to settle them, right? It'll be next year."
Lu Fengjun was surprised and disappointed when he heard the news of Yabao Road moving.
"But look over there!"
Lu Fengjun followed the direction of the boss 'finger." What do you mean? Please tell me."”
"Isn't that the Ritan Hotel? You're a smart person. You'll know everything once you go in and take a look. There, I can't move it. Look over there!"
Lu Fengjun looked in another direction. It was a building that was under construction.
"It's called the Geely Building. It'll definitely be completed next year. It's the 12th floor. The first to sixth floors are all commercial buildings. Think about it!"
Lu Fengjun, Lumi, and Zhu Huicang looked at each other, thanked the boss, and strolled toward the Ritan Hotel.
As they got closer, they realized that this place was bustling with people living alone. There were people pulling goods and unloading goods. The hotel had already become a commercial office, and there were curtains covering the doors of each house. Lumi understood. The rooms here had been converted into stalls for selling goods.
She chose a lively shop and entered. There were all kinds of dresses hanging on the wall.
The few of them discussed and went to the office for external investment. They knocked on the door and entered." Hello.”
"Hello, do you need a room?" The office worker was a young man and asked directly.
"Yes, how do you rent this place?”Lu Fengjun asked.
"Three on two, 1,000 a month, 100 management fees.”
"How big is it? Where else? I see that the first floor is full of clothes. Which floor is the best for shoes?”asked Lumi.
The young man glanced at Lumi and knew that he was a businessman. He replied,""I'm talking about the price of a 20-square-meter room. It doesn't matter which floor it is, but there are many shoemakers on the second floor. There aren't many good spots left.”
Lumi nodded in his heart. It seemed that the relocation was not groundless.
However, it was not the best time to rent it now. He replied politely,"Let's go back and discuss how to reply to you.”
"Alright, see you later!"
The three of them went upstairs again. There were twenty rooms on each floor, and there were basically no curtains on the fifth floor. The business was still much worse than the plastic shed market outside.
In a flash, it was already noon. Lumi suggested that they go to the stall owner to eat Zhajiang noodles, mainly to chat. Lu Fengjun could eat anything, but Lumi was worried that Zhu Huicang's southern appetite would not be able to adapt.
"Brother Huicang, can you eat Zhajiangmian?”
"I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky. When I was alone in the United States, I often cooked noodles.”
Then there was no problem. They returned to the Zhajiang Noodles stall." Old man, give me three bowls of noodles."”
"Alright!" The boss agreed and looked back. You're back again? Do you understand?"
"I understand, but business inside is not as good as outside.”Lu Fengjun said.
"That's for sure. There are so many people outside! But I'm afraid that the market will move away!"
"Do you know how street stalls are rented?”asked Lumi.
"It's at least 780 yuan a month. You can go to the management office to ask. Here you go, the three of you!"
Lumi took out a pair of chopsticks and picked up a mouthful of noodles." Mmm, don't tell me, your noodles are really delicious!”The Lumiqua noodles were cooked well.
"Thank you. I've been cooking noodles for half my life.”
"This shop owner can't help but praise." Lumi whispered to them.
"You're not sincere in praising me." Lu Fengjun said his daughter.
Zhu Huicang also smiled.
"Let's talk about the stall at night. Are we going to collect the house now? Brother Hui Cang, how many sets do you plan to get?”Lumi also imitated the Beijing accent and joked with Zhu Huicang.
"Let's take a look at the location you bought first." As he spoke, he took out a map of Beijing from his backpack.
"Aiyo, you really did your homework.”Lumi looked at the map and admired Zhu Huicang's carefulness.
Lumi had bought a map at home and studied it carefully. At this time, the capital did not have the fifth and sixth rings. They could only expand along Chang 'an Street in Tianamen Square, which was the four districts that the owner of the Zhajiang Noodles shop had mentioned at the beginning.
In fact, in the next ten years, the price of the Fifth Ring Road would be sky-high, but he still needed money to invest. Lumi did not dare to tell his father about this now. In the future, when he had money, there would be too many places to invest in such as Shanghai's old bungalows, Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Suzhou.
But what was the point of buying so many houses? In this life, Lumi's main wish was to do more for his family and make them happy and healthy. Earning money was also for them.
Thinking of making money, Lumi thought of Moutai again. Hoarding alcohol was one thing, but he was mainly waiting for the Guizhou Moutai Group to go public and buy stocks. That would really be making money. Sigh! This was a story for the future. It would probably take a few more years.
Zhu Huicang heard Lumi's sigh and saw that the little girl was immersed in her own thoughts again. That sense of alienation came again.
Lumi raised his head and saw Zhu Huicang's eyes. His heart beat uncontrollably. She quickly came back to her senses and said," Let's go, Dad. Let's go look at the courtyard first?”
"That's right. We've made an appointment with Old Master Wang to close the courtyard today!”
