[MTAFB] Chapter 2: Picking Up The Money

The community develop for only a few years. It is one of the rapidly growing area so the housing estate price here is not low and the sorrounding's conditions are also good. Lu Chengyu's parent's bought a house here. When they bought it, they told him that it was for him and his wife to be. As a result, the house had just renovated and his parent's died unexpectedly.

Inside the elevator, he press the button and there are a few people who greets each other. Lu Chengyu didn't know anyone here, in the 6th floor he left the elevator and take out the key to open the door.

After cleaning the empty room, Lu Chengyu take out his laptop and plug in the network cable. He listens to a few random songs and went to the balcony. He found that his cactus is still alive and he pour a little water in it. After that, he lean against the balcony fence and look at the rockery that sprays a water in the middle of the district. He suddenly feel down.

His parents were intellectual. Later his father resigned from being a teacher to became a company department manager while his mother is a university professor. So when choosing a new house, it is very important that it is an eco friendly community. But the both of them didn't get to stay in the new house but instead died. His uncles and aunts and his other family relatives didn't calculate/took what his parents left for him and it was also another kind of kindness. After all, he didn't have a parents anymore. And the others also have a child to care about, not to mention he is no longer a child.

He calls the water company to send him a pure water and sat in front of the computer and found some information that he wants use. Lu Chengyu touch his chin in thoughts. He had already graduated for almost nine years when he passed away but it is in such a short span of nine years that the economy has developed rapidly and several leading companies are already the most widely known. In their reunion, Chen Jin is the manager at Liang's branch office and was touted by everyone and mentioned the momentum of several companies. It seems that the development of Liang's was very good.

He didn't know anything about his parent's death that year so he would go to Liang's interview when he was about to graduate. A few years later, in Liang's arrogant appearance and sneer, he finally knew that his parent's who had been killed by falling objects and crashed in to their car were in the site of Liang's estate company.

This incident happened because the construction safety measures are not correct. Therefore, the court decided to sentenced the construction company to take responsibility and compensate Lu Chengyu in a large amount of money. However, who will be happy to take this large sum of money in exchange for their loved ones lives?

He later met Chen Jin and Liang Deyou in the hotel for honeymoon and Liang Deyou spoke in contempt. At that time he thought, how could there be a damn thing in this world. Because of love Liang Deyou was jealous without a reason, he talked to him like he was a garbage and thinks high of himself. He thinks his lover, Chen Jin, is a saint. This kind of stupid man thought he was a protagonist of a romantic drama.

Therefore he cannot maintain his demeanor and beat this self-righteous dog thing. He beat him until Liang Deyou shouted for help to his father and mother. before leaving, he also kicked his third leg. He didn't know if it can be use later. Who knows that he accidentally died the same night. He didn't know if Liang Deyou search for him for revenge and finds out that he's already dead and gets mad.

Liang Deyou was probably shocked when he was beaten by him. Because how can someone who's kind and polite beats people and in such a rhythmic and stylish way. But there's nothing he can do. He was always been a civilize person but he is not always the kind of guy who can hold back his anger.

"Hua Ding International..." He smiled and look at the official website of Hua Ding International and lean lazily on the sofa. "This is it."

After driving to the security brokerage company in the afternoon to open an account. He directly starts to buy Hua Ding International's shares so his commission broker is surprise. After all, someone new will replace the position of the current ceo. The economy is chaotic and many investors are not optimistic about this. The stock price is getting lower in the recent years. He did not expect that someone will buy so many shares of Hua Ding at this time.

But as a broker, he didn't say anything and buy it according to the customer's intentions. As for buying something good or not, it is the customer's business.

The stocks market now are getting more miserable. The stocks now is not that great compare to before. The people who buys some are more cautious now than the past.

For Lu Chengyu, Hua Ding International will surely benefit him. He did not think that this stocks will send a big fortune. He is just confident about this company and didn't want to waste this good opportunity because next month, the Hua Ding International's stock price will rise again.

Hua Ding International is now in a turbulent storm. It is rumored that the internal forces have fought very hard. The older members wants to control the new president. It is very lively. However, in the end, the Hua Ding International's new president control the over all situation and became the overlord in the industry.

When Lu Chengyu think of this he sighed and thought that they are the same young people. How can the difference be so great?

Seeing that the time is early, he found a Chinese food shop and order a few dishes. But before he eats it in half, he saw a man in a well-trimmed suit walking with a beautiful woman.

"Yu?" The man in the suit look at the food on his desk and ask in a dry tone. "How have you been recently? If you have time then come to our house."

"Brother Dong." Lu Chengyu call politely and let the two to sit down and wipe his mouth with a napkin. "I didn't expect to meet you here. I will graduate soon so I am a bit busy. If I have some time then I will visit in your house." Lu Dong is the son of his uncle. He studied abroad for two years and after returning to china, he mix with other people well. They regard him as the young talent of the old Lu family. However, he do not have much contact with this cousin so they talk casually. 

"That's good." Lu Dong see Lu Chengyu doesn't seem to think of asking his family relatives help. He is relieve and then introduce his girlfriend beside him, "This is my girlfriend Shen Min, we will marry in the second half of the year. You must come."

"This beautiful and elegant beauty is actually going to be my sister-in-law is a blessing for brother Dong." Lu Chengyu smile and pick up the purple teapot on the table. He poured a cup of tea for Shen Min and Lu dong. He praise "I will be in time for your wedding brother."

Lu Dong is happy because of Lu Chengyu's praise. Shen Min has a very good family life. She is beautiful and looks like a good wife. Many people will surely envy him. Lu Dong wave his hand and say, "You are almost graduating. Did you found a job yet? If not then don't search anymore. It's better to work in our company. Although I'm not very good at it, but I'm also someone who works in the department manager. At least I can arrange a job for you there."

In his memory, Lu Dong's wife seems to be the daughter of their company's boss. Every new year, Lu Dong has always been praise by their relatives. Is it this Shen Min? But before he learned that Lu Dong played with other women. He didn't know what happen to the two of them again.

Shen Min is very well educated. Although she did not know which family side this young man in front of her is related to her boyfriend, her words and actions are very polite. She take the cup of tea and say thank you and take a sip and drop it. After looking at this young man who didn't change the expression on his face, he found that this man is very elegant. When he poured the tea, his movements are very standard. He has a gentleman's aura and people can't help but want to be good to him.

"I do not know this is?" She hesitated and smile and push Lu Dong's shoulder. "You haven't introduce him to me yet."

"I forgot, he is my cousin and goes to Q school and he will graduate this year." Lu Dong said in a stiff tone. Then he added, "My brother's situation is not easy. You will be his sister-in-law soon so you should take care of him."

Shen Min push him again and frown. "What did you say?" They can talk about it privately. But he should not talk like this in front of the person it self even if he is his cousin. It is not good. 

Lu Dong also notice that what he said is not right and smile at Lu Chengyu. "Brother, I have something to do so we will go first."

"Okay." Lu Chengyu seems to have found Lu Dong's thought to show off a little. He smile at the two people. "Walk slowly brother Dong and sister-in-law. If I have a time afterwards we will sit again together."

Lu Dong see Lu Chengyu's attitude and didn't show off anymore. He hurriedly left with Shen Min. Lu Chengyu look at the back of Lu Dong. The smile on his face faded a little and sneer and continue to eat.

This Chinese restaurant is called Baixuan Restaurant and have a good taste. The price here is not low. Its so pricey that he can't afford waste the food.

After eating the food and is ready to pay the bill, a hand holding a wallet appear behind him. "Sir, you drop your wallet."

He glance back. It is a man in a black suit and looks pretty good. His expressionless face makes him feel that it was majestic man. He also saw this kind of person in his previous life. He knows that this kind of person cannot easily be close with so he did not intend to talk more. He takes the wallet, smile and thank the man and pull out the card to the waiter. "Please also put the gentleman's payment together." Then he turn back to the man who wanted to refuse, "I hope you won't refuse. This is a thank you for helping me."

In this world, he don't have a lot of money. Not to mention the fact that he recently use a lot of ID cards. He also keep a bank card inside. If he lose some of the documents he had obtain from the securities brokerage company, he will be in a trouble.

When people pick up something and return it, it's called kindness. 

The cashier look at the man behind him and quickly found out that the price list for the two people has exceeded the savings in the balance account. "I'm sorry sir, your bank card has insufficient balance."

"Oh?" Lu Chengyu take the bank card in the cashiers hand and change it into a golden card and did not explain anything and just say, "Try this."

This kind of things always happen to the cashiers. The average people who encounters this matter will be somewhat embarrass and say that they take the wrong card. But this man is so calm, it is really rare. But it is this attitude that makes people believe that he really take the wrong card, or else how can he be calm?

He quickly pays his bills and Lu Chengyu say to the man behind him. "Thank you for picking up my wallet. If it weren't for you picking up my wallet, the I would be in big trouble." He pointed to the ID card and driver's license in the wallet and then raise his hand. "Goodbye." Although the expression on his face is calm, his heart is bleeding. What kind of people eats a food that even the balance in his bank card is not enough, there are still thousands in there!

In this moment, he realize the true meaning of a word, that is, don't pretend to be loaded, it will hit you fast like lightning!

His hands tremble as he walk out the door.

Ater Lu Chengyu left, Yan Mu ask the cashier. "How much money did he pay?"

The cashier look at the price list. "Mr. Yan, it is a total of 8,638, because you have a VIP card, all the drinks is 16%." Mr. Yan is a frequent visitor in their shop, usually he eats a not expensive food, but today he is with his friends. He order more foods and also added a bottle of wine, the price is not cheap.

Yan Mu nodded his head and look at the door of the restaurant. He see that the youth just stop a taxi, go inside and left.

He frown. If he remember correctly, the company is looking for a new staff and he seems to see this man's profile, is it him?
