Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 151: Lu Yao, you are lying to me (7k subscription required)

When Lu Yao was in the car, he had already discussed the script with Rong Nianqing, so the MPV stopped when it arrived at the destination.

Rong Nianqing opened the car door and walked towards Tao Sixing with Lu Yao.

Tao Sixing was wearing a grey cashmere coat, a scarf, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking very gentle. Next to him followed a female secretary, who had a good figure. On a cold night, she wore black stockings and a coat with a mink collar.

Lu Yao also found the opponent's configuration interesting. It was a combination of one man and one woman, but the two sides were exactly the opposite.

Rong Nianqing brought Lu Yao over. She stood side by side with Tao Sixing, looking at the Moling Lake across the way in the dim night.

Lu Yao and Tao Sixing's female secretaries stood a little behind them, and the two of them were looking at each other.

Lao Yinbi's intuition told Lu Yao that this woman was definitely not the kind of secretary who was responsible for daily chores. Her position beside Tao Sixing should be the same as Lu Yao's, both of them being think tank figures who gave advice and suggestions.

Tang Jingjing was also looking at Lu Yao, but her first impression was——

He is even more handsome than the photos circulating online, and he has a very refreshing temperament. You can't tell at all that he has been an artist in nightclubs, and at first glance, he doesn't look like a gigolo.

This made Tang Jingjing even more alert.

There is a lot of negative information about him online, but he seems to be very different from his online personality, which shows that Lu Yao is particularly good at disguising and hiding himself.

While Lu Yao and Tang Jingjing were looking at each other, Tao Sixing and Rong Nianqing remained silent.

The two of them were like hawks, waiting for the other to give up first, as if that would allow them to gain the initiative in the rest of the conversation.

Finally, Tao Sixing couldn't bear it anymore. When people have something on their mind, they always want to talk about it, just like after a breakup, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, they always like to find someone to drink and talk about their feelings. But people who are happy in their hearts will not be like this.

Because the brain wave fluctuations of most people when they are happy are no different from those of fools.

Obviously, Tao Sixing was at a disadvantage in this tit-for-tat confrontation and was in a bad mood.

So he spoke first: "You did a lot of work this time."

Rong Nianqing smiled faintly and said, "The effect is not bad, right? You just returned to China and you got rejected by me. You must feel very uncomfortable."

Tao Sixing said calmly: "You may think you won, but I definitely didn't lose. After all, this year has just begun."

This time, without waiting for Rong Nianqing to speak, Lu Yao, who was standing behind Rong Nianqing and had just taken out a cigarette, laughed as he heard the sound of lighting a lighter: "Ah, right, Mr. Tao, you didn't lose, nor did you not win. You won slowly, flexibly, and strategically. Anyway, you must win, but you have to win with a plan and steps, right?"

Tao Sixing was suddenly speechless.

But he did not turn around to look at Lu Yao. Instead, he smiled and said, "Boss Rong, is this how you discipline your men?"

Lu Yao came to Rong Nianqing, leaned against the railing by the lake and looked sideways at Tao Sixing who was beside Rong Nianqing: "What's wrong? There are no slaves in the harmonious new society."

Rong Nianqing also suppressed a smile and said, "Lv Yao has never been my subordinate. We are partners."

Tao Sixing's masseter muscles trembled: "It seems that tonight is not suitable for chatting."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Rong Nianqing did not stop him, but advised: "Tao Sixing, you should know that you are on a sinking ship. Our door is open. We not only welcome you, but also your people to come over at any time."

Tao Sixing hesitated for a moment.

Rong Nianqing continued, "We all hope to have more friends. You should also know what we want. In front of that thing, any grudges can be put aside, and any problems can be discussed and resolved."

This time Tao Sixing finally stood still. He turned his back to Rong Nianqing and said, "You are right, and I believe you, but anyone can go to your side, except our family."

"We may not be a famous family, but we cannot be villains."

After saying that, Tao Sixing strode towards their car.

It was not until Tao Sixing's car disappeared that Lu Yao exhaled a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "This Tao Sixing is quite bookish, but why do I feel like he has watched too much Ming Dynasty?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Many people like Ming history, and he is not joking. The Tao family is not the only branch in China."

Lu Yao understood that even if they went bankrupt, the Tao family and other families behind the money would continue to stick together overseas, and they could still live their carefree lives.

Therefore, even if the branch of Tao Sixing's family in China agreed, those abroad would not agree. They could only hold on, and once their power in China collapsed, their funds abroad would be fat meat on the chopping board.

In order to live a better life, they will definitely give their full support to the people above them.

This is checks and balances.

A place where funds can be operated overseas has become the biggest bargaining chip between the two parties.

Fortunately, Rong Nianqing’s main purpose tonight was not to persuade them to surrender, but to put pressure on them. Judging from Tao Sixing’s reaction, Rong Nianqing’s goal had been achieved.

Tao Sixing broke more defenses in this confrontation than Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao imagined.

……

Cold night, viaduct.

The black Maybach shuttled across the bridge like a sharp sword, and the night view of Shangnan turned into a colorful painting that kept flying backwards from both sides of the car window.

Tao Sixing lay in the back seat with his eyes closed, looking very unhappy.

Tang Jingjing didn't feel the low air pressure in the car as she was looking at the manicure she had just done today.

After a long while, Tao Sixing regained his composure and said, "They are deliberately provoking me and putting pressure on me."

Tang Jingjing replied: "Yes, I hope you can figure it out."

Tao Sixing sighed, "Many industries here are being suppressed. The recent crazy stock market crash has hit the companies we control. We have no choice but to allocate funds to compete with them."

They control many enterprises in Shangnan, and the capital flows are also complicated. Most of these capital flows are channels in their hands, controlling the flow of various funds.

Shangnan, as their base camp, is considered the hub for the flow of funds.

That's why the other side asked Rong Nianqing's family to come over here to work.

Although they have large amounts of overseas funds, the funds themselves exist like ghosts and require a highly developed economic entity to rely on and exert their capabilities.

Otherwise, this money will be swallowed up sooner or later if it is left alone overseas.

This became the bargaining point for both parties, and Shangnan became a must-fight place for both parties. Especially when the stock market was suppressed, they could not afford to lose Shangnan, a highly developed economic entity.

Tao Sixing thought for a moment and then said, "How is your plan against Lu Yao going?"

Tang Jingjing reminded: "You are now somewhat emotionally involved."

Tao Sixing did not deny it.

Many people think that people in high positions must be extremely shrewd and cunning, and they should not show their emotions or reveal their thoughts on their faces.

People who think this way are taking it for granted. This is because this group of people are too far away from the real superiors, so they have this impression.

No matter how high a person's position is, they are still human and will have emotions. However, there are very few people who can make them emotional, so most people feel that the emotions of those in higher positions are invisible and unfathomable.

But if you stand in the perspective of a superior, you will find that——

Oh? A little Karami offended me today? Interesting, then you go and deal with it.

What emotions can you show in this situation?
Only when faced with things that are difficult or impossible for them to handle will they really become emotional, just like Gao Botanical who smokes all night before preparing for hard steel.

Lu Yao is a rather tricky problem for Tao Sixing. Because of Rong Nianqing's protection, many of his methods are ineffective against Lu Yao.

Tang Jingjing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already thought of three options. If none of them work, I will arrange a dump truck."

Tao Sixing glared at Tang Jingjing: "Nonsense."

Isn't this like handing a knife to the other party?
If the dump truck really takes action, the other side will also activate the forbidden technique of "memory recovery". No one can withstand this forbidden technique. In the end, after crazy climbing and biting, they will probably be wiped out.

All of them were put to death because of Lu Yao?
That's not how the account is calculated.

Tang Jingjing smiled and said, "It's just a joke, to liven up the atmosphere."

Tao Sixing rubbed his eyebrows and thought that this joke was not funny at all.

On the other side, Lu Yao was planning to get in the car with Rong Nianqing, but Hu Xiaoyu said to Lu Yao after Rong Nianqing opened the car door: "Can I talk to you alone?"

Lu Yao thought it was finally coming, so he looked at the warm MPV reluctantly and said, "Okay."

Hu Xiaoyu got out of the car and returned to the lakeside park with Lu Yao again. The two walked side by side, and no one spoke first. Only the cold evening wind from Shangnan occasionally blew over, causing Lu Yao, who had been outside for a while, to unconsciously wrap his coat tightly.

After walking for a while, Hu Xiaoyu said, "You don't talk as much as you did in Hangzhou."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Oh, you were busy at work at that time. I didn't expect that you would come to see me with President Rong after the auction."

Hu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and looked at Lu Yao beside him: "You are hiding from me."

Lu Yao turned his head and looked away: "Why should I hide from you?"

Hu Xiaoyu reached out and pulled Lu Yao towards her, so that Lu Yao could look her in the eye. Then Hu Xiaoyu said slowly and seriously: "You are afraid that I will fall in love with you."

Lu Yao was amused: "Like me and like me are different, you have to explain it clearly."

Faced with Lu Yao's jokes, Hu Xiaoyu was not angry, but said gently and patiently: "I'm serious, don't use this method to avoid my questions, okay."

Oh shit!

Hu Xiaoyu's expectant and serious eyes, as well as his gentle and considerate tone, were like a sharp arrow that instantly broke Lu Yao's defense.

No wonder the most powerful armor-piercing equipment in the LOL game is called “The Last Whisper”. Not to mention the Last Whisper, even the current Whisper is a little too much for Lu Yao to bear.

Lu Yao took a deep breath, then said seriously: "Yes, I am avoiding you."

Hu Xiaoyu's pair of beautiful eyes suddenly became sparkling, and her whole person seemed to come alive in the darkness, like a night-blooming cereus that suddenly blooms in the middle of the night, beautiful and charming, quiet and charming.

Her expression became lively and relaxed: "So you like me a little bit, right?"

Lu Yao instinctively wanted to respond to Hu Xiaoyu with some high EQ flattery, such as "Who wouldn't like a girl as beautiful and elegant as Director Hu?", but the words were already on his throat and Lu Yao swallowed them back.

He grinned and admitted generously: "Yes, I like it."

Not even a little bit.

But what's the point of liking someone? It's like the moon is bright, but it's useless.

Hu Xiaoyu put his hands behind his back and walked lightly in front of Lu Yao. Lu Yao followed him unconsciously. Then he heard Hu Xiaoyu walking in front and saying, "I like you too. I have thought about it seriously."

"I do not know why."

"Before I met you, my life was very peaceful. I got up early every day to go to the Chinese Painting Museum to work, took care of the chores at noon, and continued to work in the afternoon."

"My world is so small, and my life is so regular and boring, but I never thought there was anything wrong with that. I even felt that this peaceful life was full of joy that made people feel at peace."

At this point, Hu Xiaoyu suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Yao: "And then you came."

Lu Yao listened and watched quietly as if he was listening to a story, as if the person in front of him was an elf from a fairy tale.

Hu Xiaoyu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Actually, I didn't like you when I first met you, especially the rumors about you, which disgusted me. But later, as we got to know each other better, I found that you seemed to be different from the rumors on the Internet, and even from what you said yourself."

Lu Yao was speechless. What made him successful would also become his weakness.

If it weren't for Sister Wang, Jian Xiaojie, Zhou Bella, Cheng Xinyu... he wouldn't have achieved what he has today, and he wouldn't have come into contact with Rong Nianqing, and then Hu Xiaoyu. Everything he has experienced is indeed not his black history, but his way to get here.

But it is undeniable that his path to fame was indeed not glorious, and could even be described as having a long history of bad deeds.

Hu Xiaoyu continued, "Later, I thought a lot, and even thought from your perspective, and then I realized that if I were you, I would probably make the same choice as you. My previous thoughts were too naive."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I'm surprised you think so."

Hu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I just don't do much work, but I'm still smart."

"Lü Yao."

Lu Yao responded: "Hmm?"

Hu Xiaoyu whispered, "I know that a shabby person will find prosperity dazzling. When a man is poor, he will even push away the woman he loves. Even if a woman is willing to suffer with a man, a man who truly loves her will not bear it."

"But I also think that men like that are cowardly in their love."

Hu Xiaoyu put his hands behind his back and looked up at Lu Yao: "What about you? Are you that kind of man?"

Lu Yao couldn't answer. He had just studied abroad in the future and he himself was not a gifted genius.

Facing Hu Xiaoyu's eyes that were so bright and piercing, Lu Yao looked away again. He said sullenly, "When a man has no money and power, he can't speak with courage."

Hu Xiaoyu asked again: "When you stand high enough, will you come to find me?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Yao turned his head back, stared into Hu Xiaoyu's eyes and said firmly: "No."

There are many people around him, some have helped him, some have helped him wholeheartedly, and some have given him gifts without asking for anything in return. Lu Yao is not a heartless bastard, he cannot abandon those people.

Since she chose the path of a "rich woman" after her rebirth, her background was already determined.

As for a clean woman like Hu Xiaoyu, he would not lie to her, and he did not want to drag down and consume her feelings, so Lu Yao gave a firm answer.

Hu Xiaoyu pursed his lips tightly, and the pair of eyes that were bright and shiny just now seemed to have lost their luster in an instant and turned into dim stars in the night sky.

Her temperament, which was originally cool and soft, looked like she was about to break.

Lu Yao also felt as if his heart was suddenly stabbed by a knife. The horrible pain made him unable to help but gently take a deep breath of the cool air in the night to relieve the pain in his chest.

But suddenly.

Hu Xiaoyu suddenly took a step closer and stuck to Lu Yao. Before Lu Yao could retreat, Hu Xiaoyu hugged Lu Yao's waist with one hand and put the other hand on Lu Yao's heart.

"Boom-"

"Dong Dong!!"

A violent heartbeat came from his chest, vibrating through his flesh and blood into Hu Xiaoyu's palm.

Lu Yao suddenly felt that the world had stopped at this moment. He could hear his own heartbeat, from slow to fast, from weak to roaring.

After a few seconds, Hu Xiaoyu raised his head and said with a smile: "Lv Yao, you really are lying to me."

Words can be false, but heartbeat is far more real than spoken words.

Hu Xiaoyu just stuck to Lu Yao's arms and said gently: "Lu Yao, remember, if there comes a day like that, you must remember to come find me."

After saying that, she took a step back from Lu Yao's arms.

She was standing just one step away, so close yet so far away.

She said, “You must remember this.”

After saying that, Hu Xiaoyu smiled, then turned and walked towards Rong Nianqing's MPV.

Lu Yao stared at Hu Xiaoyu's slender and graceful back. This time, he was the one who was stretched too thin. Hu Xiaoyu's sincere killing move killed Lu Yao so badly that he was completely defeated.

Sure enough, the most lethal thing in a relationship between men and women is sincerity.

Those who cannot be hurt by sincerity are pathetic. What is even more pathetic is that they are unaware of it and are even complacent about it.

"call--"

Lu Yao exhaled the hot air that had been accumulating in his chest for a long time. He raised his face and felt for the first time how fate could play such a trick on him.

"Make me successful, and then kill me."

Damn it.

Lu Yao took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Nianqing: "You guys go back first, I'll go for a walk by myself."

But Rong Nianqing opened the door of the MPV and got out, letting the MPV go back first.

Standing in the empty park, Lu Yao asked, "What are you doing here?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "I came to see you."

Look at how this romantic and romantic lover is defeated and how uncomfortable he feels. It must be a very special feeling to catch a huge fish but not be able to reel in the rod.

Rong Nianqing had never experienced such emotions, so she stared at Lu Yao's expression very carefully, as if she was reading an especially interesting book.

Lu Yao took out a cigarette, lit it, and said unhappily, "That's enough."

"You're a CEO after all. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to do something like this?"

Rong Nianqing put his hands in his coat pockets and shrugged: "Don't label me. In fact, I can feel that Director Hu really likes you, and you seem to like her very much. Have you ever thought about putting aside the past and starting a new life?"

"Don't be afraid, I can be your mother's home."

Lu Yao chuckled and said, "The most difficult thing to repay in this world is a debt of favor. So how do you think I should face Sister Wang?"

That was a noble person who had been very kind to him.

Lu Yao took a deep puff of his cigarette, his eyes empty as he said, "If I were really that kind of person, President Rong, you would also look down on me."

Rong Nianqing sighed: "Yes, it's really difficult."

She was not saying that Lu Yao's situation was really difficult, but that many things in the world were really difficult, especially when it came to human relationships. Many times, taking a step forward was a mistake, and taking a step back was also a mistake. You can only choose the one with lesser consequences and the one you can bear.

At this moment, Rong Nianqing once again sympathized with Boss Cao from a thousand years ago.

Boss Cao values ​​Guan Yu's righteousness and admires his loyalty and bravery, but it is precisely because of this loyalty and bravery that Boss Cao cannot get Guan Yu, and Guan Yu eventually becomes a lifelong obsession in his heart.

So why isn't she?
Lu Yao smoked the cigarette in his hand very quickly. He took a puff and then two puffs. It seemed that the cold wind in Shangnan at night was as sad as he was. He threw away the cigarette butt and extinguished it. Lu Yao said, "You should go back early. Don't get cold."

Rong Nianqing said with concern: "You too, please be careful. I'm afraid Tao Sixing will be desperate."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "They can still use a dump truck to help me get lucky. That's too irrational. Do I want them to be buried with me?"

Rong Nianqing also laughed and said, "Even if I had to trade their entire nest for you, I wouldn't be happy."

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "Boss Rong's words are getting more and more pleasant to hear. I won't be going back these few days. Please help me explain to Sister Wang later."

Rong Nianqing nodded: "Okay."

The two parted ways in the lakeside park. Rong Nianqing naturally returned to her own residence, while Lu Yao just found a high-end hotel to stay in.

While fishing, he caught a shark, which broke his fishing rod and also broke Lu Yao's mood.

He needs to find a place to be quiet.

……

Lu Yao stayed in the high-end hotel for two days. During that time, he went back to the company, brought his computer and several work phones to the hotel, and started working remotely.

The luxury brand "Yong" invested in by Huasheng Life caused a huge sensation and response after the press conference. Even the official media praised it as a good opportunity to promote national quintessence and revive heritage.

With the support of official media, the brand power of "Yong" was greatly enhanced shortly after its release.

But what made the "Yong" brand power rise again was the launch of the sub-brand "Xiao Yong".

The brand concept of "Xiaoyong" is to integrate aesthetics into life!

So two days after launching the "Yong" brand, Rong Nianqing held another brand launch conference. Unlike "Yong", a luxury brand that was forced to open under the response of Xinbai Plaza, "Xiao Yong" is an industry that Rong Nianqing and Lu Yao have been planning since last year.

At the "Xiao Yong" press conference, Rong Nianqing launched household products such as "power strip", "electric rice cooker", "kettle", "electric rice cooker" and so on with a brand new design.

These products will be included in Huasheng Life’s self-operated product system in the future, and customers from all over the country will be able to shop online through the Huasheng Life APP in the future.

All of these commonly used household appliances have been completely redesigned in appearance by Rong Nianqing and the design team behind Rong Nianqing. They have become simpler, better-looking, more technological and more modern.

Once these products were launched, they caused a huge response on the Internet and were loved by young people. The "Xiaoyong" brand was also labeled with modern trends and technological sense at the beginning of its birth.

As a result, the quality of the main brand "Yong" has also been greatly improved.

If it were ten years later, many young people might not be able to understand the changes brought about by this new design trend entering the market.

But if you just search what the power strips looked like ten years ago and then compare them with the appearance of the products ten years later, you will have an intuitive feeling.

What we see with our eyes is our first perception of the world.

That’s why there is a saying that “clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse”. Whether a brand’s product appearance has aesthetic qualities can be clearly seen at a glance.

As soon as Rong Nianqing released the "Xiao Yong" product, many old manufacturers on the market felt the pressure instantly. They even hated the appearance of Rong Nianqing, the troublemaker.

They were originally staying well in their comfort zone. How could you, the daughter of a trillion-dollar group, come out to stir up trouble?

Is it actually difficult to design the appearance of a brand product?
It’s actually not difficult.

Later, when Mr. Lei was doing these things, he only took out 10 million, and he hasn't spent it all.

Even when it came to making cars later, everyone said that the auto industry was in a very bad shape. Mr. Lei was worried and had more than 10 billion yuan in cash in his hands. Then what?
More than 10 billion yuan was spent on designing the product, 20 billion yuan was spent on building the factory and production line, and finally 30 billion yuan was spent on the hot-selling Xiaomi Su Wife, which had no cut-corners in quality.

But what about friendly competitors?

Jiyue, a noble company backed by Baidu and Geely, has been making cars for so long but still has a financial hole of 70 billion that it cannot fill.

The main reason why the car has not been built after all this time is that the top management is too makeshift and only cares about enriching themselves.

They even want to be lazy and save trouble when it comes to the color of the car, even though everyone prefers brighter, more varied and personalized car body colors.

However, they deceive consumers by saying that "white is more valuable" so that they can save money by being lazy.

After all, who would want to work like a slave when you can just lie down and make money?

Now, Rong Nianqing is rushing into the market with home products with a new design concept to teach them a lesson.

Therefore, when many young people turned their attention to Huasheng Life's "Xiaoyong" home appliances, more and more press releases were spread on the Internet through various channels.

This time it wasn’t Xinbai Plaza that was causing trouble, but rather those manufacturers that were impacted by Rong Nianqing were all making efforts at the same time.

These manufacturers would rather spend money to hire internet trolls to discredit Huasheng Life than keep up with market demand and change the competitiveness of their products.
