The moon never shines forever in the sky, but spring should return to the mortal world
"Miss Rong, you made me this morning..." Outside the door, Pan Guoyang, who had used the Chris Chuang during the Six-Person Dinner, pushed the door open himself and entered the Lu Family's living room without waiting for the servants to open it for him. He grinned wickedly at Lu Rongfang, who was sprawled on the sofa.
Lu Rongfang didn't even lift her eyelids, and lazily cursed, "If you call out 'Miss Rong' again, believe me, I'll scratch your car."
Lu Rongfang's name sounds very feminine, so her best friend often teases and jokes about it.
"Hey, what's the matter that you called me over so early? You're free, but I have a job." Pan Guoyang jumped over from the sofa and sat down next to Lu Rongfang, reaching for the fruit on the coffee table. "I haven't had breakfast yet, how about asking Ping Sao to cook some crab congee? I haven't had Ping Sao's congee in a long time."
"Don't you have any maids? Ping Sao is quite old. My brother and I rarely let her cook anymore unless we really crave her cooking. She's been working for us since before my parents got married. She came to Hong Kong with us brothers and watched my brother get married and have children. Of course, we have to take good care of her and wait for me to get married and have children too. Want some congee? Let's go to a teahouse!" Lu Rongfang sat up straight and stretched. "Come on, drive me to the Bird's Mouth Harbour in Causeway Bay for a drive."
"You made me rush over here so early in the morning just to have me drive for you, and even if I were your driver, you wouldn't even let me have a bowl of porridge? Don't you understand social etiquette?" Pan Guoyang said unhappily.
Lu Rongfang stood up and said with a smile, "Then this time, you don't get a share of the profits."
"Miss Rong... as if I hadn't said what I just said. You are my closest friend. Are you planning to earn some pocket money to spend? Be sure to count me in." Pan Guoyang's previous displeasure immediately turned into a fawning smile as he spoke to Lu Rongfang.
As the two people stepped out the door and were about to get into their car, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up from the opposite direction and slowly stopped outside the Lu Family's gate.
Pan Guoyang had already opened the car door, ready to get in, but seeing Lu Rongfang standing motionless outside, he urged, "Get in! Of course, you have to be diligent to make money."
At that moment, the driver opened the rear door of the Rolls-Royce, and a young woman dressed in a simple British style stepped out. Seeing Lu Rongfang standing beside the car, she smiled and stopped to greet Lu Rongfang: "Brother Fang, you're out so early?"
"Chunmei," Lu Rongfang said to the other person, "Coming to see Big Brother? I was just about to go for a drive."
"Chunmei? What Chunmei? It's almost summer, where did this spring come from..." Pan Guoyang leaned out of the car and was immediately attracted by the woman's aura. The woman who got out of the car looked younger than him and Lu Rongfang. Her appearance was not stunning, but she had a slender and slightly thin figure.
However, Pan Guoyang felt that she was gentle, calm, and dignified. Even with a smile on her face, she had a sense of aloofness that made her difficult to approach. She was neither cold ice nor passionate fire, but neither too hot nor too cold, neither too close nor too distant. The simplicity and low-key nature of her clothing actually enhanced her noble air.
"Hello Chunmei, I'm Pan Guoyang..." Pan Guoyang couldn't help but get out of the car and introduce himself to the woman, "I'm Rong's best friend, I..."
The woman Lu Rongfang called Chunmei seemed amused by Pan Guoyang's words, smiled slightly, nodded at him, and then walked towards the Lu Family.
Even after she had disappeared into the mansion, Pan Guoyang still stared longingly at the gate, muttering to Lu Rongfang:
"Miss Rong, you actually have such a beautiful younger sister? Hey, why don't you introduce her to me? If you can make me your brother-in-law, I'll drive you around every day!"
Lu Rongfang kicked her best friend in the butt. "Damn it! You call her Chunmei? You want to be my brother-in-law? Did you even have a head that's worthy of her? You're just a lowly employee at the Water Supplies Department, while she's already a director and shareholder of a bank!"
Chapter 315 The moon in the heavens has no constant light, but spring should come again on earth.
"Ah Yang, there's something I don't understand?" Lu Rongfang asked her best friend Pan Guoyang, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, while driving toward Bird's Beak in Causeway Bay and bitterly eating a char siu bun for breakfast.
Pan Guoyang swallowed the bun in his mouth. "What kind of question don't you understand? Don't you understand why I and your Chunmei are such a perfect match, a match made in heaven?"
"I do enjoy dabbling in stocks, but I don't understand why I received an envelope revealing Song Tianyao's activities in the stock market. It makes absolutely no sense, right? Since Song Tianyao can make a lot of money in the wig industry and is also involved in stocks, he should know that even if Xizhen Properties's issuance of new shares in recent years diluted the Lin Family's shareholding, Xizhen Properties is such a large-scale company with land, oil storage areas, hotels, and all sorts of other businesses. Even if he poured all the money he made in the wig market into it, it's unlikely he could actually swallow it all. On the contrary, it's possible that he made a fortune by shorting Xizhen Properties's stock." Lu Rongfang muttered to herself, stroking her chin.
Pan Guoyang ignored Lu Rongfang's words. He knew his friend, whom he had been friends with since middle school, very well. When he asked him, he never expected to get an answer from him.
After driving to the desolate Bird's Bird's Beak of Causeway Bay, Pan Guoyang said to Lu Rongfang, "Tell me, what money-making methods have you come up with so early in the morning?"
"The government is considering starting a new land reclamation project from Bird's Beak in the next few years. If you use your spare change to buy or rent a dozen dump trucks to help the government transport... wait, I think I've thought of something!" Lu Rongfang's eyes widened halfway through her sentence, and she cursed.
Pan Guoyang was startled. "Hey, this place is deserted. At most, I might have a slight crush on your Chunmei, but you're not planning to kill me to cover it up, are you?"
"Reclaiming land from the sea... reclaiming land from the sea..." Lu Rongfang seemed to have caught a thought, and she paced around in circles with an anxious expression, repeatedly muttering the four words "reclaiming land from the sea."
He just kept pacing around in circles. At first, Pan Guoyang ignored him and lit a cigarette. But after five minutes, Lu Rongfang was still slowly pacing with her head down. Pan Guoyang finally couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, even if you have ideas for land reclamation, you don't have the capital. Do you have to be so excited, like you've found a gold mine?"
