Chapter 217: Kung Fu Beyond Poetry
Lu Yiming's words helped Li Quanwang to open up his heart. "You're right. I earned the money myself. I didn't steal or rob. Who dares to say anything? When our family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, no one of them cared about us. Now that they see that our family is rich, they are so confident that they even ask for money. It's outrageous."
Lu Yiming patted Li Quanwang on the shoulder and agreed with a smile: "Don't worry, this is how the world is. There are countless people who add icing on the cake, but those who help others in times of need are rare. You have to learn to get used to it. Those poor people can't stand seeing others live a good life. They will think that their poverty is the fault of others."
Li Quanwang agreed: "Isn't this nonsense? You are poor and don't want to find a way to make money, but instead ask others for money?"
Lu Yiming patted Li Quanwang on the back and sighed, "This is red eye disease. Some people just can't stand seeing others live a good life. I have seen through these things a long time ago. Okay, okay, let's eat the dumplings. Let's go in."
The two entered the house, and Huang Jijiao and Li Changjian brought up a large basin of dumplings and distributed them to everyone.
After eating the dumplings, the fire-entering ceremony of the new house came to an end.
After the relatives and friends left, Huang Jijiao called Li Quanwang aside and told him about Huang Dongheng.
"You kid, even if you don't lend me money, you don't have to say that your aunt has a flat face. Don't you know that this is what she cares about the most?"
Seeing Li Changjian laughing beside her, she glared at her husband fiercely, "And you! Wangzai doesn't understand reason, don't you understand it either? You are insulting others with Wangzai, you know that you are offending people? We are all relatives, we will see each other sooner or later. If you can help, it's better to help, even if it's a few thousand or tens of thousands..."
Before his mother could finish her words, Li Quanwang immediately retorted, "He asked for two million right away. Does he think my money came from the wind? Even if it did, why should I lend it to him? Relatives borrow money but never pay it back. It's definitely impossible for me to borrow money. I have already given the rest of my money to Lu Yiming to manage. Money is used to make money. I only have a few hundred yuan in pocket money now."
Just now Lu Yiming told him that Li Changjian and Huang Jijiao were If the money was handed over to them, it would probably be all borrowed by relatives within three days.
If you go to collect debts when the time comes and your finances are all gone, you will only offend more people. It is better to take a tough stance now and let those people give up.
When Huang Jijiao heard that Li Quanwang's money had been given to Lu Yiming to make money, she couldn't say anything else. Thinking about what her relatives from her mother's family had done over the years, she could only sigh silently and stop discussing this matter.
When Lu Yiming returned home, it was almost time for lunch. Recently, as the business of Dingyuan Mould Factory was getting better and better, Lu Ding had more and more smiles on his face, and even had the leisure to cook and help Ning Xuehua.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Ning Xuehua poked her head out of the kitchen. "Are you back? Just in time. Go peel some garlic. We're having mashed garlic pork for lunch today."
Lu Yiming took the garlic, found a stool and started peeling it.
Ning Xuehua asked casually: "How is it? Is it lively today?"
"It was quite lively, with many relatives and friends there, and it also attracted onlookers from other residents in the community. I heard that Mingzai and his friends set off firecrackers and disturbed others' rest. It was also fortunate that Mr. Lin from Jingwan Group went there in person, otherwise today's happy event might have been disrupted."
When Ning Xuehua heard that Li Quanwang and his men were setting off firecrackers in the villa area, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This is really..."
Lu Yiming then talked about some trivial matters: "Wangzai also has a fourth uncle who asked Wangzai to borrow two million in front of all the relatives."
"Wow, two million!"
Lu Ding who was standing next to him was shocked, and then he sneered: "This is really a big mouth, don't you care about your dignity?"
Ning Xuehua was also curious after hearing this, and couldn't wait to ask, "What happened next? Did you borrow it?"
Lu Yiming sneered, "Wangzai is not stupid, how could he possibly lend it? The other party obviously has no intention of paying it back. If he really lends it, wouldn't it be like throwing meat buns at a dog? One or two thousand or something doesn't matter, just treat it as begging for money, but asking for two million, whoever lends it is a fool."
Ning Xuehua felt the same way: "That definitely can't be borrowed!"
As for relatives who betray their parents, Lu Ding can be said to have a deep understanding of this.
When Dingyuan Mould Factory was thriving, all kinds of relatives and neighbors would come to borrow money to find jobs or do idle work, which directly ruined Dingyuan Mould Factory. Now Lu Ding is still gradually cleaning up these relatives in the company.
After listening to Lu Yiming's story, Ning Xuehua suddenly became afraid. She thought it was a good thing that she didn't tell anyone that Lu Yiming was a billionaire. Otherwise, the number of relatives coming to borrow money would be ten times more than that of Li Quanwang's family.
After dinner, Lu Yiming had a good nap in the afternoon with the air conditioner on.
The next day, the English competition finally began.
The preliminary round was held at No. 1 Middle School. The main competitors were contestants registered from various classes. Only those who passed the preliminary round were eligible to represent the school in the subsequent semi-finals.
This competition was not difficult, and almost all of Lu Yiming and his teammates advanced.
During the rematch, Lu Yiming led everyone to Deheng Middle School, which served as the test site.
At the school gate, everyone unexpectedly met an old acquaintance - Ge Deqiu.
When Ge Deqiu saw the beautiful women in the No. 1 Middle School's participating team, all of them were slim and graceful with sweet smiles, he almost drooled all over the floor.
But when he saw clearly that the leader of No. 1 Middle School was actually Lu Yiming, a nameless anger suddenly ignited in his heart.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows, quite surprised. "No way, Old Ge? You can actually come to participate in the competition? It seems that the teaching quality of your Donghua Middle School is worrying. All kinds of people are participating."
Wu Qiuya and the others became very nervous when they saw someone blocking the road, but after listening to the conversation between Lu Yiming and Ge Deqiu, they almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Lu Yiming's words are really mean.
Ge Deqiu snorted, staring fiercely into Lu Yiming's eyes, then sneered and said, "Whether I can participate in the competition is not up to you. I advise you to return directly the same way to avoid wasting time. The champion is destined to be our Donghua."
Wu Kejun was not convinced when he heard this: "The competition hasn't even started yet, how do you know that the championship is yours? Don't be too proud, you have to know that there are always people who are better than you."
Ge Deqiu glanced at Wu Kejun with disdain, and said in a disdainful tone: "Very stupid and naive."
Then he waved to the people behind him and said, "Let's go."
Seeing the backs of several people leaving, the people around Lu Yiming felt very angry.
"Lu Yiming, who is this person? Isn't this too arrogant?"
"The championship must be theirs. Where do they get the confidence from? They just know how to show off."
"I really don't believe it. Sisters, if we meet them, we must teach them a good lesson."
"Yes, defeat them!"
Looking at the excited girls around him, Lu Yiming shook his head helplessly.
Sure enough, very silly and naive.
Can't they hear that Godqiu is showing off?
It’s an internal decision.
Lu Yiming really wanted to tell these girls the truth, but he was afraid that these girls would be devastated and would never recover. If that delayed their college entrance examination, he, Lu Yiming, would become a sinner for all eternity.
Although I have experienced this kind of thing countless times in my previous life, and I could not get any benefits and could not take the blame, but after all, I was reborn again. If I was played like this again, it would be too much.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiming took out his cell phone and called Lin Shuyi.
"Hello, Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin Shuyi seemed to be busy reviewing documents. Suddenly she received a call from Lu Yiming. She was surprised and a little impatient: "Why are you calling me at this time? If I remember correctly, you should be in class?"
"Hi, what class are you taking? I'm participating in an English competition right now, and I just met this really cool guy. He has connections, so he's been chosen as the champion."
Lin Shuyi was very angry after hearing this. She pursed her lips and laughed and scolded: "Handsome boy, I'm very busy. Why are you chatting with me about such trivial things as your studies?"
Unexpectedly, Lu Yiming refuted with a serious face: "I am still a student now. How can studying hard be considered a small matter? This is clearly a top priority."
Lin Shuyi was speechless for a while: "What's the point of you telling me this? I'm not from the Education Bureau, it has nothing to do with me."
Lu Yiming curled his lips and finally revealed his true intentions: "What you said is not right. What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? I studied hard and stood out in the competition with my real talents. This is very important to my physical and mental health, you know? If my body and mind are not healthy and my mood fluctuates, if it affects the future operation and decision-making of capital, it will be Jingwan Group's money that will be lost."
Lin Shuyi was very upset and gritted her teeth over the phone, "Are you threatening me?"
Lu Yiming chuckled, "If you want me to board your Lin family's ship, you have to show some sincerity, right? You used me as a shield at the beginning, but I agreed without saying a word. Don't think that you showed up when you were in trouble a few days ago, and that means you are repaying my favor. I won't admit it."
Lin Shuyi was troubled by Lu Yiming's "cunningness". He was obviously just a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was flawless in his conduct and actions, just like a veteran who had been struggling in the society for many years.
Lu Yiming could see through all her little thoughts.
Although her trick was exposed, Lin Shuyi was not panicked at all. She needed Lu Yiming to help her make money, but she also knew that Lu Yiming needed to borrow her and the Lin family's power.
It is a win-win situation for both parties to take advantage of each other.
Lin Shuyi sighed: "Well, it seems that nothing can be hidden from you."
Lu Yiming smiled and rubbed his temples gently with his fingers: "I am young, not stupid. In that incident, you wanted me to offend the Wu family and then have to get close to your Lin family. This method is not very clever."
Lin Shuyi said in a slightly cold tone: "Since you had already seen it, why didn't you just come out and refuse it at that time?"
Lu Yiming laughed, and was too lazy to engage in intrigue with Lin Shuyi. Instead, he said bluntly: "Why should I object? In this world, there is no reward without effort, and it is normal for people to use each other. Anyway, there is no possibility of cooperation between me and the Wu family. On the contrary, we are destined to become competitors in the future. You want to drag me into the water, and why don't I want to drag the Lin family into the water?"
Lin Shuyi was very angry after hearing this: "I wanted to drag you down with me, but you ended up dragging me down with you. So it seems that I am the one who suffers the loss?"
Lu Yiming laughed: "When doing business, don't worry so much. Suffering a loss is a blessing."
Lin Shuyi was very unhappy: "Then why do you suffer more losses?"
Lu Yiming changed the subject directly: "Well, I'm going to take the exam soon, remember to arrange it for me. You don't have to arrange for me to win the championship, as long as it's fair competition. I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If you don't help me with this, I may not be in the mood to do business in the future."
Although she knew that what Lu Yiming said was probably a joke, Lu Yiming was a man who never played by the rules, so Lin Shuyi didn't dare to bet on how true his words were.
Anyway, this kind of thing of saying hello is not difficult for Lin Shuyi. There is no need to go against Lu Yiming on this issue. She can also do a favor for herself without any cost.
After finishing the call, Lu Yiming returned to the team with a very relaxed expression on his face.
Wu Kejun couldn't help but ask: "Who are you talking to on the phone? The game is about to start, why are you distracted by doing other things?"
Lu Yiming rolled his eyes at her: "I compiled the teaching materials for your practice, and you are telling me this now? Don't worry, it would be unreasonable if you don't win a championship for such a small thing."
In the subsequent competitions, a few people were selected to form the No. 1 Middle School team. With Lin Shuyi's operation behind the scenes and Lu Yiming's team being strong to begin with, they won the championship easily.
When presenting the awards, Lu Yiming saw Ge Deqiu sitting in the contestant area with his head down, and couldn't help but taunt him, "Hey, isn't this the guy who vowed to win the championship? It's said that there are always people who are better than you, and I happen to be that person. How about it? Is it fun?"
Ge Deqiu stared at Lu Yiming with his eyes fixed, and said with gritted teeth: "There is definitely an inside story!"
Lu Yiming said in a condescending manner, "Alright, alright, stop talking like that. It's just about finding someone, isn't it? You can find someone else, and you can find someone else, too. This is fair. There's no inside information."
After receiving the award, Lu Yiming took his team to negotiate with the organizer about going to Hong Kong for exchanges and study.
But at this moment, Lu Yiming suddenly received a call.
The call was from Qian Hongli.
He said hurriedly: "Boss Lu, we've been cheated!"
