Reborn, back to a small county town to become a wealthy family

Chapter 827 The truth is...
In Luo Yang's mind, Yang City was always considered Jiang Fan's territory.

When Liang Yuxin suggested going to Yang City, he refused on the spot, regardless of her motives.

"Why are you joining in the fun?"

Luo Yang glanced at Liang Yuxin: "Is this kind of provocation meaningful?"

"Mr. Luo, how come serious business gets twisted when you talk about it?"

Song Wan immediately put on an act of standing up for the wronged, but only she knew what she was really thinking.

"Mr. Song, it's getting late. Shouldn't you go home and rest?"

Luo Yang suddenly regretted it. He would rather be alone with Liang Yuxin than have this gossipy woman causing trouble from time to time.

Song Wan: "."

How could you say something so awkward?

Without any tact or subtlety, they immediately started kicking people out, and there wasn't a hint of joking in their tone.

"I have some private matters to discuss with Mr. Liang."

Luo Yang stared intently at Song Wan: "You could go and look around other parts of the club first."

Since things have come to this point, it seems there's no way to keep him.

Song Wan then gave Liang Yuxin a look that said she couldn't help her, before replying to Luo Yang, "Then I'll go take a look around. By the way, I think this place is nice, and I'm planning to get a membership. Could you put in a good word for me?"

Luo Yang's bottom line has been revealed, so of course she has to know when to stop.

Luo Yang immediately called Shen Jinglan and asked her to help Song Wan get a membership.

"We were having a good conversation, and suddenly he got all worked up?"

After Shen Jinglan came to the door of the private room to pick up Song Wan, Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a deep gaze: "Just because you think I went to Yang City with ulterior motives?"

"Do some things really have to be said outright?"

"Is it really as serious as you make it out to be?"

Liang Yuxin retorted indignantly, "Even if I had ulterior motives, you could have just refused. Why did you have to drive Song Wan away? She's your right-hand woman now. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings by doing this?"

"Will she be heartbroken?"

Luo Yang curled his lip and said, "This woman came here tonight to gossip, but you, in just one dinner, have revealed everything about our relationship. Are you really stupid or just pretending?"

What's our relationship?

Liang Yuxin retorted stubbornly, "At most, it's just that I can't have her, and I don't mind if she knows. What are you afraid of?"

When Miss Liang gets into a tirade, she can be quite fierce.

"hehe."

Luo Yang chuckled a few times, then said, "If she really wants to know about my businesses in Yang City, why doesn't she just ask me for the information? Why does she have to make a trip to Yang City herself, and say all this in front of you?"

Song Wan's little scheme could be figured out with just a little serious thought.

Liang Yuxin was a little embarrassed and bit her lower lip without saying a word.

"Jiang Fan hardly ever comes to Shanghai now."

Luo Yang took a few puffs of his cigarette, and his expression became serious.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Liang Yuxin, "Even if it's just to put my mind at ease, or even if I'm just deceiving myself, Yang City is a haven I left for Jiang Fan. At least in my hometown, I belong to her alone. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Being a womanizer is being a womanizer, why make so many excuses for yourself?"

These words were just Luo Yang indulging in self-pity. After hearing them, Liang Yuxin immediately showed a contemptuous expression: "He's clearly a groom every night in Shanghai, so why is he putting on this innocent persona?"

Luo Yang: "."

His Dao heart almost shattered after Liang Yuxin said that.

"I didn't mean to look down on you."

Seeing Luo Yang's breathing become heavy and his expression constantly changing, Liang Yuxin immediately explained, "Some people can own more than a dozen houses in the city, while others live in simple brick houses in the countryside. That's the nature of society; resources always concentrate in the hands of a few. The way wealth and power are distributed may change with the evolution of social systems, but the principles will not change, including the right to procreate. How many years has the new marriage system been implemented on this land? In the context of 5000 years of history, it's not even short-lived. That guy in Macau openly married seven women."

These words immediately silenced Luo Yang.

It gets straight to the heart of social phenomena.
Where did you learn this theory?

After the initial shock, Luo Yang looked Liang Yuxin over again: "Shouldn't someone like you, who has received a Western elite education, uphold the spirit of individual freedom?"

"You haven't seen through the essence of Western culture."

Liang Yuxin curled her lip and said, "What do you mean by advocating individual freedom? That's just a system with traps set up by the Western elites for the lower class. It's designed to make the lower class selfish and disorganized, making them easier to brainwash and thus reducing the cost of control."

Luo Yang had indeed heard quite a few versions of this interpretation.

With the advent of the era of social media, Western social systems and many social phenomena have been brought into the open for interpretation, and the interpretations are very professional, with very detailed information sources.

The set of lies about civilization that Western society spent over a century building was completely deconstructed and its halo shattered in less than a decade after the advent of the self-media era.

"Since you understand these principles, why are you still resisting the marriage partner that Lao Liang is introducing to you?"

Luo Yang didn't want to discuss metaphysical social issues with Liang Yuxin, so he shifted the focus back to what they had just been discussing: "Marrying someone of equal social standing and resource integration are all advantages. Even if you accept a marriage of convenience, you won't have to go to Guangzhou to start such a difficult business. Don't tell me you're just a love-struck fool!"

Am I love-obsessed?

Liang Yuxin chuckled and tapped her nose: "You don't actually think I went to Guangzhou to start a business purely for love, do you?"

"I also believe it's not true."

Luo Yang nodded, then asked curiously, "So what was the main reason you deliberately brought this trouble upon yourself?"

"Sometimes I really find it hard to reconcile the image of a business genius with the image of you now."

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang intently for a long time before speaking, "Our country has a history of 5000 years, which I believe you should have a general understanding of. Before I answer your question, let me ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

“We’ll leave aside unofficial histories and only consider what’s recorded in official histories.”

With a smile, Liang Yuxin asked Luo Yang, "Why did those crown princes in historical records plot rebellions?"

"Uh"

Luo Yang was taken aback for a moment, because he really didn't expect Liang Yuxin to ask such a question.

But a moment later, he blurted out, "They've violated imperial authority, the most inviolable thing in the world. Not even the emperor's own son can touch it; anyone who does will die!" "But why would they violate imperial authority?"

Liang Yuxin continued with a smile, "Since you're already the Crown Prince, why don't you just wait for the Emperor to die and inherit the throne?"

"The sense of urgency brought about by brothers' covetousness, the uncertainty caused by the emperor's machinations, and the sense of crisis brought about by the oppression of political enemies."

Luo Yang thought about this question for a long time before replying: "There are too many aspects involved, and it cannot be explained in a sentence or two. In some cases, the emperor even felt that the crown prince's power was too great and had threatened the imperial authority, so he took the initiative to deal with the crown prince. Such things have happened before."

"Wow, you're an engineering student, yet you know so much about history."

Liang Yuxin teased, "I really underestimated you."

"Just tell me if my answer is right or wrong?"

"Most of them were correct."

Liang Yuxin first affirmed Luo Yang's answer, then switched back to the previous topic: "In Jincheng Real Estate, Lao Liang is the emperor, the shareholders and executives who followed him to build the empire are the ministers, and I am the so-called crown prince."

Luo Yang: "."

With this analogy, he suddenly seemed to understand Liang Yuxin a little better.

"The way Lao Liang manages his company is an effective system that he has gradually explored, learned from, and copied since his success."

As Liang Yuxin recounted these events, her expression lost its smile: "Moreover, before I joined the company, Lao Liang was always successful. You are also a successful entrepreneur now, so you should be able to understand the mindset of these kinds of people. They are extremely confident in the decisions they make, and they will never think that there is anything wrong with what they have decided before they stumble and fall. Even a genius like you was sidelined and reduced to a consultant because of the three cooperative projects."

Why are you bringing me in?

Luo Yang glared at Liang Yuxin, then added a comment: "The confidence that successful people cultivate is that they always believe that their choices, like the paths they've taken before, will continue to lead to success. This is called path dependence."

"Yes, you're absolutely right, path dependence."

Liang Yuxin gave Luo Yang a bright look, not out of love, but because their souls resonated.

"When I joined the company as the vice general manager, I was in charge of departments such as human resources, finance, and auditing. It seemed like I had a lot of power, but these were all functional departments, which were logistical in nature. The company's development strategy and direction were still firmly in Lao Liang's hands."

"Isn't this normal?"

While refilling Liang Yuxin's tea, Luo Yang replied, "Even if he is the crown prince, he can't be given management authority over core departments right away. There needs to be a period of time to cultivate his abilities. Besides, the emperor is in his prime, so he can't just relinquish power too early, can he?"

"So I didn't initially intend to get the power of the core departments."

Following Luo Yang's words, Liang Yuxin said, "You were in the company at the time, so you should have seen that I initially only wanted to make some changes to improve efficiency in the functional departments, especially the standard management system you brought up. I only implemented it in the departments I was in charge of and did not interfere with the three core departments of investment, engineering, and marketing."

Luo Yang thought about it and realized that it was true.

"Of course, I also had a little ulterior motive."

After Luo Yang finished recounting his thoughts, Liang Yuxin continued, "Marketing Director Dai Dongming resigned with my encouragement, and I was also the one who promoted you to the position of acting director. In this matter, I did have my own ulterior motives; I intended to use you to influence the company's core departments, but I didn't expect..."

"I just didn't expect that even though I was so successful, Lao Liang still brought in a new marketing director after the new year, even if he wouldn't do a better job than me."

"Yes, it was a failed attempt."

Liang Yuxin sighed and said, "Because you are my personal assistant, and Lao Liang saw that I had feelings for you, he naturally regarded you as one of my people. So he did not hesitate to find someone to take over the marketing department again. In the end, he still did not want my influence to spread into the core departments of the company."

"So even you, the crown prince, are not entirely secure."

Luo Yang then teased her, saying, "You just came back from abroad and haven't even been with the company for a year, yet you're already thinking about seizing core power. If I were Lao Liang, I would have done the same!"

He suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Liang Yuxin: "?"

"The industrial real estate model I gave you back then, wasn't that another test you were giving Lao Liang?"

Luo Yang suddenly recalled that incident.

Not long after that incident, Liang Yuxin and Liang Xingmin had a fight, and then Liang Yuxin ran away from home and went to Guangzhou to start her own business.

"Testing?"

Liang Yuxin shook her head while laughing: "You were about to leave the company at that time. I was someone who didn't even have a complete understanding of the real estate model. Without a general like you, how could I possibly think about interfering in the engineering, marketing and investment departments?"

"Holy shit."

Luo Yang recalled his "sincere" heart-to-heart talk with Liang Yuxin in Guangzhou, and suddenly realized: "You lied to me!"

What do you mean I lied to you?

Liang Yuxin rolled her eyes at Luo Yang: "It's true that I have feelings for you, and I've never lied to you about that."

"I'm not saying you lied to me about matters of the heart."

Luo Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I mean you lied to me about running away from home!"

"Back then, I was thinking of using a melodramatic performance to soften your heart."

Liang Yuxin retorted without any embarrassment, "A white lie is not deception. Just like when a man tells a woman he will love her forever, can that be called deception?"

What she said made perfect sense, and Luo Yang was speechless.

"Speaking of which, I took your materials to negotiate with Lao Liang back then."

Liang Yuxin quickly interrupted the topic that was not in her favor and got back to the main point: "At that time, I hoped that Lao Liang would lend me 5 million yuan and provide me with some manpower so that I could leave the Jincheng Real Estate system and start my own real estate company to do your industrial real estate model."

Luo Yang was stunned.

"Besides, that project was brought to your hometown by you. I think we can use this company to tie you down, even if it's just by giving you some shares."

Liang Yuxin finally revealed the truth: "A new company that belongs entirely to me, a new real estate model, the assistance of a real estate genius, and at the same time, it can also help cultivate our relationship. Everything is so wonderful!"

Why didn't Lao Liang agree to your request?

After regaining his senses, Luo Yang was extremely curious: "Logically speaking, if you don't seize power in Jincheng and instead borrow 5 million to start a new business, it should be a good thing for Lao Liang. Why would he disagree?"

"Want to know why?"

"Of course I want to know."

Luo Yang glared at Liang Yuxin: "Knowing Lao Liang as I do, he shouldn't be this stingy."

"It's all because of you!"

Liang Yuxin looked at Luo Yang with a complicated expression, and after a long while she finally spoke: "The reason why Lao Liang is against it is because he thinks that my founding of such a company is entirely for your benefit, and in the end I will inevitably lose both money and people!"

If Luo Yang weren't a reincarnated person, that would indeed be possible.
