Chapter 311: Regret
“By the way, I heard that those reporters were just there to do an interview. In the end, the boss of Lu Ming Corporation gave each of them the latest cell phone! Sigh, I don’t expect to buy a house there in my lifetime. If I can meet CEO Lu and get the chance to work with him, that will be great!”
“Speaking of which, isn’t there someone with the surname Lu in our company? Maybe he has the same ancestor as CEO Lu!”
“How is that possible? If the two of them are really related, would Lu Yaohua still be working at our construction site? He would probably have lived in a big villa long ago, right? After all, CEO Lu doesn’t lack money at all. He naturally won’t be petty about small matters like providing for someone. In my opinion, other than having the same surname, the two of them are completely unrelated!”
…
These people did not lower their voices, so the middle-aged man heard what they said clearly. After learning that Lu Ming had built a satellite city, he froze and stopped mixing the concrete. The hot sun beat down on him, but he did not feel any warmth. How long has it been? Has my eldest son created another miracle?
He recalled the evaluation of Lu Ming in the circle at that time—a true genius!
Every time he thought of these words, his heart couldn’t help but ache. He had actually casually thrown away the pearl as a comparison. Had his brain been kicked by a donkey? In the dead of the night, he couldn’t help but want to travel back in time. If he was given another chance, he would definitely treat Wen Fang and Lu Ming well.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Everyone had to pay the price for their decisions!
Beads of sweat rolled down his face. He stopped what he was doing and picked up the bucket beside him. Just as he was about to pour the water, he caught sight of a familiar but unfamiliar face in the reflection. It was the face of a low-level person. Moreover, there was an obvious scar on the right side of his face. His good looks were a thing of the past!
His skin had already darkened by several degrees. Lu Ming probably wouldn’t be able to recognize him even if he saw him. His originally pampered hands had a few calluses, and there wasn’t a clean spot on his body. Even if his clothes and pants had holes, he still wore them. The reason was obvious—he didn’t have the money to buy new ones.
Ever since he divorced Tang Wenyi, he had wanted to rely on his talent to find an ordinary job. In the end, no one in Shanghai was willing to hire him! As he became more and more hard pressed for money, and having consumed all the medicine prescribed to him previously, he had no choice but to lower his expectations and find a low-level job in a company that was willing to accept him.
However, when those people saw that his name was Lu Yaohua, they shook their heads and rejected him. They looked at him as if he was a virus. They were just the bosses of small enterprises. How could they have the guts to go against Lu Ming Corporation for a useless, cheap laborer?
In the past, no matter where Lu Yaohua went, he would be flattered by others. When had he ever suffered such grievances? The huge difference made him depressed day by day, but his desire to survive made him perk up again. He changed his name. Then he steeled his heart and cut his face. In the end, he found a job as a menial laborer at a construction site. At least he could survive.
He suddenly thought about the mother and son he abandoned back then and how they must have experienced what he was going through now. However, this time, it was his turn to look up to Lu Ming.
…
In Beijing.
A black helicopter slowly landed in the private airport of Shaping. Tang Mingkun changed into a black and red coat and got off the plane energetically with a walking stick. Lu Ming and Chu Jinyu had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him, they quickly smiled and went forward to support him.
“My phone was exploding with calls early in the morning. I was wondering if something had happened. Later on, I found out that it was because your satellite city was completed! Those old fellows act faster than anyone else. They are asking me if I can help them buy a house here.”
They are actually asking my foster father to help?
“It’s just a spot. It’s not a big deal…”
Lu Ming smiled and said.
Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Mingkun said with a smile, “I knew you would say that! But I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I’ll be thick-skinned and ask you for five spots. The price can be twice as high. Moreover, these are all close friends of mine. I’m thinking of asking them to play chess and go fishing in the satellite city.”
A while ago, when the construction was almost done, Lu Ming asked someone to give him the key to one of the villas that had a good location. Coincidentally, Old Yang had also witnessed the entire process. In the end, he could not help but sigh at his good friend’s good taste. Hence, after receiving the news this morning, he came over to ask if he could give him a spot in the satellite city.
Tang Mingkun had always been kind to whoever treated him well. Previously, Old Yang had helped him so much, so he naturally had to satisfy the other party’s request. In addition, he would definitely need the other party’s help in the future. Therefore, Old Yang was also among the five of them. This was a good connection for Lu Ming.
As expected, Lu Ming readily agreed. There were many houses in the satellite city. It was just five spots, so it was not a big deal! Besides, those people bought them at a high price. There was no such thing as an illegitimate title, even though there were many people who were willing to pay a higher price.
He did not mind giving his godfather face.
“Just five? We can add a few more. It’s all houses in there now.”
Tang Mingkun clapped his hands and laughed. “Enough! It won’t be good if you say more. I don’t want to see some old guys every day. If I get tired of them, there won’t be anything fun to do! It’s enough that you have this intention. By the way, I heard that your team has developed all kinds of robots? How is it? How are their functions?”
“Not bad. Let me show you the most functional butler robot, Little Mo.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the robot wearing a black bow glided over calmly. “I will be at your service. Does Master have any instructions?”
“Turn on the camera in the house and see what you’ve achieved.”
In order to develop such a smart robot, the team had spent a lot of effort. In addition, this robot was the latest version that they developed after building on the experience from earlier models. The only flaw was that it consumed too much electricity. Fortunately, it could charge itself in a timely way.
However, it was also because of this that they wanted to see if they could use solar energy instead of electricity. However, they were only researching it for now.
In the next second, Little Mo’s head projected the neat and orderly details of the house. He said in that electronic voice, “I automatically switch to work mode at six in the morning and prepare nutritional meals for Master and Madam.”
