Chapter 75 Aspiring to Become a CBD Elite
Chu Zihang drove Lu Mingfei onto the plane.
After a long and tiring journey, I arrived at the CBD of this new city.
CBD, cannabidiol... oh no, not this CBD.
CBD, or Central Business District, refers to the area in a country or city where major business activities take place.
The concept originated in Amelica in 1923, where it was defined as "a place where businesses meet".
It best reflects the image of a big city in the eyes of someone who has never been to a big city.
In their eyes, big cities are full of skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and neon lights, and the air is sweet; there is never any dirt or disorder.
But even big cities have urban villages, so people who idolize big cities scream and cover their eyes, unwilling to admit it.
Yes, there was no implication about Emilia.
Lu Mingfei also dreamed of CBD when he was a child.
After all, there are huge buildings rising up everywhere, and people below look like ants, having to look up to see the top floor of the buildings.
Bigger is better, taller is more sophisticated.
In his mind, the people coming and going there must be high-end individuals.
Basically, it's someone like Uncle Chu leading a group of graduates from prestigious universities.
Everyone was dressed in a suit and tie, ready for battle. Their attire was their weapon, and their cars were their aura.
Behind him was light pollution caused by the reflection of sunlight from the super skyscraper, making the word "high-end" blind Lu Mingfei, the unlucky kid sitting on the rooftop.
So he sat on the rooftop of an old-fashioned residential building, gazing at the distant skyscrapers and daydreaming.
In his fantasy, he also wears a suit and tie and makes millions in no time.
He's a force to be reckoned with in the business world, and drives home in a luxury car after get off work.
Home is a haven of gentle comfort for Chen Wenwen and her two children. As a mother herself, Chen Wenwen gently helped him take off his coat, while the children chattered around him.
This was the ultimate form of life that Lu Mingfei could imagine at that time. If he could live like that, he felt he could die without regrets.
And today his dream came true.
Dressed in a suit and tie, with his hair styled like an adult, he arrived at the foot of one of the buildings in the CBD, but only to slay a dragon.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
"Boss, how do we proceed?"
Chu Zihang was also dressed in a suit and tie, and his hair was combed like an adult. He stood half a body length behind Lu Mingfei and called Lu Mingfei "boss".
Lu Mingfei had no idea what nonsense he was thinking, but he just kept calling him "boss".
But since they've already called him that, you have to act like the boss, so Lu Mingfei put on sunglasses and pointed with his finger, trying to look cool.
"Go inside."
The target's name is Du Lu, and he is a success coach.
Norma opened the box for the other party, which contained everything from her kindergarten days to sleeping with the students who attended her class last night.
Normally, they wouldn't pay special attention to a scammer who preys on unsuspecting people.
However, their recent speeches have become so effective that they're almost like using some kind of spiritual power. They're responsible for judging whether this person is an ordinary conman or a hybrid conman.
The other party is giving a speech on the twentieth floor of this building today, and Chu Lu and his companion both bought tickets.
Inside, there was a brightly lit lobby, and countless workers were entering.
However, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang still attracted too much attention. After all, they were two handsome and energetic guys who looked like they were on their first day at the company or had gone to the wrong place.
Lu Mingfei found an elevator and pressed the button for the twentieth floor.
He was still a little curious. Although he was no longer as insecure as he was when he was a child, he was still curious about what it was all about.
It's like someone who has come to a big city and one day sees a children's palace.
He was long past the age of envying the children's palace, but he was still somewhat curious when he passed by.
So, when the floor stopped, Lu Mingfei watched several exquisitely made-up girls walk out, and he looked inside.
Cosmetic medicine.
Lu Mingfei withdrew his curious gaze, thinking that it might just be an isolated case.
Then he saw it.
Online sales.
Nuisance call company.
Loans and debt collection.
"Hehehe..."
Lu Mingfei shrugged, seemingly trying to suppress a laugh.
Once the elevator was empty, he reached out and put his arm around Chu Zihang's shoulder, bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
I wonder what I was thinking when I came from the countryside to the big city and walked into the children's palace full of curiosity, only to find it full of tutoring classes.
Anyway, Lu Mingfei has let it go; he feels like he can even hear Guan Yu's song.
Chu Zihang was completely bewildered, not knowing what had suddenly gotten into Lu Mingfei.
Then, the elevator doors slowly opened, and they arrived at the twentieth floor. Lu Mingfei's eyes were sharp as he led Chu Zihang into the lecture hall.
Du Lu was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and tie, who looked like a successful person.
Lu Mingfei could tell from the moment he sat down that this person was of mixed race.
He didn't know how he figured it out, but he just figured it out.
Hybrids are very similar to JoJo; Stand users are attracted to each other, and you can tell just by looking at each other.
Lu Mingfei is a JoJo fan.
Specifically, he clearly knew that Jotaro Kujo's Stand was called Star Platinum instead of King Crimson, and that its ability was to stop time instead of leap through time.
I don't know how many clouded people could confuse the protagonist of the third movie with the boss of the fifth movie.
Since everyone has figured it out, there's nothing more to say. Arrest them first, then question them. Lu Mingfei walked towards the podium, just as Du Lu was about to speak.
"My father died just last month."
Lu Mingfei didn't stop; he simply kept walking forward without making a sound. The death of his parents had already hardened his heart; he was no longer afraid...
"I was in the hospital bathroom at that time—."
Lu Mingfei immediately sat down, stopping Chu Zihang's actions, and spoke quietly.
"Wait a minute, let's hear what he has to say."
Du Lu spoke with great emotion, waving his hands, and everyone below listened attentively to his speech.
"At that moment, I really wanted to just leave without a care in the world, but just as I pulled up my pants and was about to go out, I remembered my father's teachings: 'Du Lu, you must be a man who sees things through to the end.'"
"Yes! I want to be a man of my word! Even if my sister is banging on the door, saying my father is dying!"
Du Lu became more and more excited as he spoke.
"I—, then—, and finally—"
"So I rushed out without hesitation! I knelt down in front of my father's sickbed and shouted loudly."
"Be proud of me! I know you old codger would be absolutely proud of me!"
...........
Everyone fell silent. Lu Mingfei felt extremely awkward. Chu Zihang was sitting next to him, and his expression... this was the first time he had ever seen Chu Zihang with an expression other than a poker face.
It felt like he had just mastered this face. Lu Mingfei couldn't quite put his finger on the mysterious expression, but he could tell that his emotions were quite complex.
Du Lu continued.
"He died before I flushed out of the toilet."
"But I know that his spirit in heaven is proud of me."
Du Lu's eyes were red, and he wiped away his tears. Then he looked up, and Lu Mingfei noticed that Chu Zihang looked rather bitter.
Then Du Lu seemed to be moved, and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.
"This is my unique way of giving a speech: I start by dropping a bombshell, and people are definitely willing to listen to what I'm going to say next."
Du Lu took a sip of water and then spoke calmly.
"You can tell the truth or the lies, as long as it carries weight."
"Of course what I just said is true."
