Lu Yaohua said proudly, “Not good!
“Huh?
Seeing this, He Xiaopeng asked, “W-why do you think so? Is there something
wrong with my plan? Perhaps we can change it. Do you think that will work?
“No
Lu Yaohua rejected it without hesitation. He stood up and walked to He
Xiaopeng and said condescendingly, “What you’re talking about is trash! It’s
worse than trash! At least trash can be recycled. You can’t even recycle your
project! Writing these things is a waste of time!
He paused for a moment before continuing, “You spent so much time writing
trash. It seems to me that you’re not suited to be in this industry! He Xiaopeng,
right? You have no talent at all! You’re just an extremely mediocre person!
Living is a waste of air! And you want to get an investment from the Lu
Corporation?
Dream on! I think it’s better if you die quickly and have a good reincarnation in
your next life than place all your hopes in this!”
Even if He Xiaopeng was, he could sense that something was wrong.
Suppressing his grievance and anger, he asked, “Manager Lu, I didn’t offend
you, right? This is our first time meeting today. No matter what, you don’t have
to go so far, right? If you don’t want to invest, why don’t you just reject it?
He was here to seek cooperation, not to get scolded!

He felt that even if his project was very bad, Lu Yaohua should not belittle him
like this. And this was on the premise that his project was very bad.

Lu Yaohua said arrogantly, I don’t want to. What can you do about it? A person
as terrible as you is just taking up space by living! Tell me! Did Lu Ming send
you here? He gave you the information in your hands, right? Just to make me
lose money!
Lu Ming?he thought.
He Xiaopeng said blankly, “Who is Lu Ming?
“Pretend! You’re still pretending! I was almost fooled by you guys! How much
did he give you to put on this act? You’ll probably be a walk-on actor for the
rest of your life!
Lu Yaohua said smugly, “Tm already in this state and Lu Ming still wants to
make things worse for me? Dream on! You can lie to me once, twice, but I
definitely won’t fall for the third time! Contact the person behind you now.I
want to tallk to him!”
The person behind me?he thought.
Tve come here alone, so who else could there be?
Anyone who was told that his project was a long -time conspiracy would feel
uncomfortable.
He finally understood why those people had said that Lu Yaohua was crazy.
He Xiaopeng could not tolerate it anymore and said, “Manager Lu, I advise you
to go to the hospital as soon as possible to treat your brain. You can’t tell right
from wrong. Fortunately, you didn’t invest in my project!

With that, he left without looking back.
Lu Yaohua still did not realize what he had done wrong. He said, “What? Are
you angry? Only an idiot would invest in your project!

He Xiaopeng walked on the streets in disappointment. The wind blowing at
him made him feel like he was in an ice cellar. He had originally harbored the
dream of starting a business and was prepared to showcase his talent. Perhaps
he could contribute to the country’s promotion of new energy vehicles. Who
knew that things would not go well at the start?
This was the place that he had finally decided on after considering for a long
ime. He attached great importance to this project, sohe wanted to find a
reliable company to collaborate with. Initially, he found a medium-sized
company through an acquaintance.
After he finished speaking, the boss smiled and said, “Mr. He, this project is
not bad. I can tell that you’re an ambitious young man. But let’s not talk about
the success rate first. Just the amount of money required is not something an
ordinary company can afford.
r’d like to invest in your project, but I’m afraid that even if I sell my company,I
won’t have so much money. The expenses during the early stages are too high.
My small company can’t afford it. Even if it can, what if my company incurs
losses? I can’t gamble with my blood and sweat.
This was human nature. After all, it was their first time meeting.

He Xiaopeng sighed. “What else can I do? This project will probably make a lot
of money.”
However, this was not a market that one person could dictate.
“Why don’t you try looking for another company?
The boss asked tentatively.
He Xiaopeng smiled bitterly and said, “Tve already checked. Either they don’t

like it or they’re like you. Is this project really going to die in the womb?
“. Perhaps you can go to the Lu Corporation. If I help you pull some strings,
perhaps you’ll catch their eye?”
So he went to the Lu Corporation after being referred from person to person.
He thought that his project would be selected, but he was mocked for no
reason.
Would I really be able to make a name for myself? he thought.
It was not that he had not thought of cutting costs, but he could not afford to
leave out any of the features. He had tried every method, but it was useless.
The more he thought about it, the more despairing he felt. Am Inot suited for
this?
He thought perhaps Lu Yaohua was right. He was an extremely mediocre
person who wasted his life. In that case, why do I have to fantasize about
getting things that do not belong to me?he thought.

Previously, he had been quite successful in other projects, so he wanted to try
out a new field-smart cars. The proposal that he had painstakingly written
was too expensive and had to be abandoned.
He roughly calculated that just the research and development costs alone
would be 15 billion yuan! How could an ordinary company afford it?
In addition, in order to test the feasibility of the proposal, he had incurred a
huge debt. The creditors kept coming to him for money. If he did not pay them
back, he would be finished!
Initially, he had thought that if he could gain the Lu Corporation’s favor, he
would be able to pool money in the short term. Who knew that his plans would

go awry?
Other than the Lu Corporation, which other company in Shanghai would take
on such a big project?
He turned on his phone and started looking through the companies in
Shanghai again. Even though he had seen these countless times, he was still
hopeful that by some stroke of luck, there might be a company that he had not
found yet.
Suddenly, his fingers stopped moving
His gaze stopped at Wanke Real Estate. It was not that he had not thought of
this place before, but he had asked everyone around him but they did not know
the boss. He did not even know if the boss was a man or a woman.
It was really too mysterious.

So he gave up without hesitation because if he wanted to make an official
appointment, he would have to wait another year!
He could not wait so long.
He could not afford to take his own sweet time!
“sigh.
He put his phone back in his pocket and exhaled slowly. He was at his wit’s end.
No matter where he went, it was a dead end.
The sound of construction nearby attracted his attention.
He remembered that. that was the new park that the city government was
building.
