Chapter 10
Lu Xiaoping was shocked when Lu Xiaofan went to Tianjin. When he heard that Lu Xiaofan proposed to divorce Bei Luxin, he was so shocked that his jaw seemed to drop. He scolded her and called home to report Lu Xiaofan's stupid behavior.
According to Lu Xiaoping's description, Lu's mother seemed to faint when she heard it, and kept scolding Lu Xiaofan for having a broken brain.
Usually, people in the Lu family are very afraid of Lu's mother. If Lu's mother objects to something, no one in the Lu family has the courage to say yes. But what Lu Xiaoping didn't expect was that Lu Xiaofan was unexpectedly firm this time and would not listen to any persuasion.
Lu Xiaoping was so anxious that he seemed to be the one who was getting divorced, not Lu Xiaofan.
For this matter, Lu Xiaoping called his family again, and then went to Beijing to have a talk with Bei Mosha. It is said that they both reached a unified view: divorce is impossible.
When Lu Xiaoping came back from Beijing, he sighed when he saw Lu Xiaofan, and he spoke with pity for Bei Luxin, who unfortunately became Lu Xiaofan's wife. However, since he had received the information that Bei Mosha did not agree to their divorce, he was no longer worried about where Lu Xiaofan lived.
Recently, Lu Xiaoping was also very busy, because he was pursuing the daughter of Deputy Director Ding of the Textile Bureau at full speed, and all his free time was dedicated to this girl who was only 1.55 meters tall but weighed more than 130 kilograms.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoping really couldn't spare the time to worry about his brother's affairs, and after scolding him a few times, he let it go.
Lu Xiaofan had just started a new life. He squatted in the customer's factory every day and reported any news to the company. In fact, there was not much to do. He would flip through the securities newspaper when he had nothing to do.
After a few days, he remembered to open an account at Wanda Securities in Tianjin.
The spring of 1994 was the year of stock madness. The securities hall was so crowded that there was no place to put his feet. Lu Xiaofan sweated all over before he settled the account.
After he opened the account, he unexpectedly met someone, that is Lin Ziyang.
Lin Ziyang did not stay in Beijing after graduation. His father had high expectations for his youngest son, so he deliberately sent him down to Tianjin for gilding. Where is this place of demotion? It is not far away - in Tianjin.
Lin Ziyang is now the secretary of the Organization Department of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee. Lu Xiaofan never thought that he would run into him here by chance. Lin Ziyang followed a man in a suit and tie down from the second floor and saw Lu Xiaofan at the door of the hall at a glance.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaofan!" Lin Ziyang greeted enthusiastically as always. If Lu Xiaofan hadn't heard him at the gate of the Bei family, it would be easy to think that Lin Ziyang really likes to make friends with him.
"Who is this..." The man in the suit looked at Lu Xiaofan and asked.
"This is Lu Qing's brother-in-law!" Lin Ziyang turned to Lu Xiaofan and said with a smile, "This is Wanda's general manager Lu Tao, your relative, come and meet him!"
Lu Tao extended his hand to Lu Xiaofan and said with a smile, "I was wondering why there was a magpie chirping at the door today!"
Lin Ziyang said with a smile, "Arrange a big room for him!" (Note 17)
"No, thanks!" Lu Xiaofan waved his hands quickly.
"That's necessary!" Lu Tao said with a smile, "Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to Lu Qing when we meet!"
"Really!" Lu Xiaofan said hurriedly, "I have something else to do. Sorry, Mr. Lu, I'm leaving first!"
Lu Tao looked at his flustered back and laughed, "You weren't kidding just now, were you? Is he really Bei Luqing's brother-in-law? With Bei Luqing's strength, how could his sister marry such a small figure?"
"I lied to you, I'm saying this!" Lin Ziyang gestured and laughed, "I'm telling you, and he has a lot of influence on Lu Qing. If you want to persuade Lu Qing to come to Wanda, you might as well drag him into the water. That will work and it will be much faster. Believe me!" "
It's incredible. I thought that no one could influence someone like Bei Luqing." Lu Tao was amazed and said, "If I get any benefits, I will never forget to share a share with you!"
Lin Ziyang smiled and said, "Brothers, we are still calculating such small things."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "We are securities people who don't know anything else but we like to calculate the details."
Lin Ziyang laughed and pointed at him.
Lu Xiaofan happened to meet the general manager of Wanda a few days later. He was having dinner with Lu Xiaoping in a restaurant.
While eating, Lu Xiaoping used chopsticks to show him the current situation and told him that the current society is all about relationships, relationships, and more relationships. When Lu Xiaofan and Lu Xiaoping have dinner together, they usually do two things the most: one is to listen to Lu Xiaoping talk, and the other is to pay the bill after the meal.
Lu Xiaoping has been doing well recently. He has been appreciated by Deputy Director Ding. Naturally, he has risen rapidly. It is said that he will soon be transferred to a formal civil servant. There are more people who flatter him. The section chief gave him the job of publicity and procurement. So after dinner, Lu Xiaoping always asked Lu Xiaofan to get an invoice and then go back to claim reimbursement.
As Lu Xiaoping had more money, his clothes and everything else came up. It was really obvious that he was superior to ordinary Lu Xiaofan when sitting together. Lu Xiaoping seemed to enjoy the feeling of being superior to Lu Xiaofan. After all, among the people from the Lu family, the whole village, and even the whole township who came to the city, only he and Lu Xiaofan were doing the best, and he seemed to be not in the same class as Lu Xiaofan. The kind of fish that leaps over the dragon gate, although it has not yet shaken off the fish tail, has a sense of superiority that surpasses itself. The dragon in the dragon gate is difficult to understand.
"Do you know who this person is? I can scare you if I tell you!" Lu Xiaoping flipped through his business card folder. This was another hobby of his. During dinner, he would let Lu Xiaofan look at his collection of business cards, mainly to let Lu Xiaofan see which noble people he had met.
"He is the business director of Wanda Securities. You know Wanda, right? They have ten securities companies in China, and at least five of them are owned by them. When our director saw him, he would smile along. If he just showed a little crack in his mouth, you would be rich!" Lu Xiaoping closed his business card folder and said, "Don't look at Dad Bei's high position, but it's better to be a current official than a current manager. When it comes to making money, this is a noble person!"
Lu Xiaofan glanced at the postcard, lowered his head and continued to eat his meal. At this time, Lu Tao came in with a smile.
It is impossible for Lu Tao to enter such a small restaurant. He came in purely because he drove past the door and happened to see Lu Xiaofan through the glass.
"Oh, Xiaofan, I was just thinking of you. I didn't expect to meet you so soon!"
Lu Xiaofan looked up and saw Lu Tao. He was a little dazed. He couldn't remember who the man in a suit was. When Lu Xiaoping saw the man's attire, gold-rimmed glasses, and cashmere suit jacket, he quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I am Xiaofan's brother, and you are..."
"I am Lu Tao!
" "Please sit down!"
"Lu Tao..." Lu Xiaofan remembered who he was, and quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Lu..."
"Sit down, sit down!" Lu Tao waved his hand politely. He didn't seem like a guest in front of the Lu brothers. It seemed as if he was the one treating them to dinner.
"Xiaofan, why didn't you go after you opened the account that day?" Lu Tao sat down and said with a smile: "I specially asked someone to prepare a big account room for you!"
Lu Xiaofan was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't have much money!"
Lu Tao smiled and said: "Why, is Lu Qing worried about me as a brother? Don't worry, your funds are absolutely safe with me, and others will never hear a word!"
Lu Xiaofan hurriedly said: "It really has nothing to do with me, I just want to play, I opened an account by myself, and there is not even 10,000 yuan in it!"
Lu Xiaoping was a little confused and said: "Who is this?"
Lu Xiaofan said: "This is Wanda's general manager, Mr. Lu!"
When Lu Xiaoping heard this, the hairs on his body seemed to stand up. He quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Tao, saying, "Oh, my apologies, so disrespectful. I was wondering why I felt that this name was well-known just now, but I didn't realize it was you!"
Lu Tao was more concerned about Lu Xiaofan's mediocre reaction, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaoping to be so enthusiastic. He was an old hand, so he stretched out his hand and shook Lu Xiaoping's hand, and said with a smile, "Don't say that next time, we are all family."
"We are all family!" Lu Xiaoping said excitedly with red ears.
"Xiao Fan, don't worry about whether it belongs to your brother or you just want to play with it!" Lu Tao said with a smile, "Since it's all prepared for you, just use it. Don't worry about the funds. If it's not enough, I'll personally pay for it for you first!"
Lu Xiaofan stammered, "Really..."
Lu Xiaoping patted his head and said, "What's wrong with you? Mr. Lu meant well. Whether you need it or not is one thing, and whether you appreciate it or not is another. Why are you so ignorant!" He turned to Lu Tao and smiled, "Then I'll thank you for your kindness on behalf of Xiaofan!"
Seeing Lu Xiaofan lowering his head to eat, he was not enthusiastic at all, even a little cold, and inevitably felt a little frustrated. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoping was enthusiastic enough, so he took out a business card and handed it to Lu Xiaoping, smiling, "Then contact me more when you have time. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
"Hey, hey!" Lu Xiaoping held the business card and forcibly sent Lu Tao out of the small restaurant, then he hurried back to the dining table and said excitedly to Lu Xiaofan: "Are you stupid? Lu Tao, he let you into the big room, he said he would advance the money for you, that was all for Bei's father's face, he wanted to choose you to make a fortune! He wanted to give you money to spend!"
Lu Xiaofan looked up and said: "I'm about to divorce Lu Xin, how can I use Bei's father's name again, and obviously know that I have no benefits to give to others, but still take other people's benefits... How bad!"
Lu Xiaoping looked at Lu Xiaofan with contempt, and said: "You are simply..." He picked up the chopsticks and studied the business card repeatedly and said: "Mr. Wanda Lu... If this business card is taken out, even our director will be envious..."
Lu Xiaoping had been in the Textile Bureau for a long time and knew that getting a crappy official title in a low-income government office was no longer popular these days. The key was to have money.
If he had money, he still had to rely on the Bei family. Just when he was having a headache and couldn't get any money from the Bei family, a piece of pie fell from the sky. Lu Xiaoping couldn't help but admire that God really rewards those who work hard.
Lu Xiaofan was eating his meal. He didn't really want to see those people who wanted to curry favor with Bei Luqing because they were in awe of him, because it would remind him of that man, the handsome man who never belonged to him but gave him real body temperature.
