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

Chapter 336 Entering the Game with Oneself, Sacrificing Oneself for a Better Future (6k views, please subscribe)

Since the Liu Huihui incident, Lü Yao's life has become much more normal and regular, and most of the troubles in his life seem to have automatically avoided him.

of course.

This is a metaphorical way of saying it.

Ultimately, it's because money is so good at making people rich. 99.99% of the world's problems can be solved with money, and the rest can't be solved without it. Lü Yao also has many worries and is very busy every day, but being busy and having worries doesn't mean he's unhappy.

True happiness is not about doing nothing all day and indulging in leisurely eating, drinking, and having fun; that's the kind of thinking only kept women or spoiled rich kids would have.

True happiness is the certainty that you are on the path you are pursuing, solving problems one by one along the way, and only moving on to the next problem after reaching the summit.

So when problems arise, Lü Yao feels anxious, nervous, and troubled, but he doesn't think it would be great if he could retire gracefully and live out his remaining years in peace. Therefore, when he called Li Huisheng, he was very calm and even a little expectant.

Lu Yao's first attempt to call Li Huisheng failed.

As the phone rang incessantly on his cell phone, Lü Yao could even picture Li Huisheng's smug face.

After the call automatically ended due to lack of answer, Lü Yao dialed Li Huisheng's number again. This time, the phone rang ten times before it was finally answered.

Li Huisheng's barely suppressed glee came through the phone: "Hello? Who is it?"

After hearing the voice on the other end, Lü Yao smiled and said, "Director Li is quite free, isn't he?"

The smugness in Li Huisheng's tone quickly faded, replaced by displeasure: "Who are you?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Oh, it's me, Lü Yao."

Li Huisheng drawled out an "Oh~~": "President Lü, didn't you say a few days ago that we should have less contact? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Lu Yao didn't want to argue with the other party, so he simply asked, "I'm curious, have you always been this brave?"

Li Huisheng was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask Lü Yao what he meant when Lü Yao hung up the phone.

Looking at the phone that had been hung up on, Li Huisheng didn't know why, but a surge of anger was rising within him! What was going on? Lü Yao's mouth was like poison; his words sounded polite, but to Li Huisheng they felt like they had ignited something.

It made his heart burn with anxiety.

"rough!"

Li Huisheng couldn't help but swear.

He hadn't suffered such humiliation in years. Back home, abroad, and in Huizhou, no one had ever treated him like this. Why was he constantly running into obstacles since coming to Shangnan? Were the people here really that arrogant?
Li Huisheng couldn't help but scratch his head, and then dialed back the number Lü Yao had just called: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy."

His phone number was blocked by Lü Yao.

"boom!"

Before the system notification on the phone could finish, Li Huisheng threw the phone away.

It’s so deceiving!
Li Huisheng pressed the phone on his desk and asked his secretary to bring him another cell phone. His secretary, unsurprised, pulled open a cabinet under his desk, revealing neatly stacked, brand-new, unopened, latest-model Apple phones.

After changing his phone number and copying all the information, Li Huisheng started making calls to recruit people.

He wanted to see how long Lü Yao could remain arrogant.

While Li Huisheng was making calls to recruit more people, Lü Yao was also making calls to recruit more people.

He first called Jian Xiaojie, and after the call connected, he explained the current situation directly, and then said, "Now that Li Huisheng is using his connections to investigate my QQ products trading company. I'm giving you a heads-up."

Jian Xiaojie was completely bewildered on the other end of the phone: "Who is this Li Huisheng? Is he really that brave?"

Hearing Jian Xiaojie's question, Lü Yao couldn't help but laugh.

It's no wonder that people in Lü Yao's circle say that Lü Yao and Jian Xiaojie are the most similar two people, even their reactions after learning about these situations are almost the same.

Lu Yao said, "I don't know who's behind Li Huisheng either, but whoever it is, they probably all think they're some kind of big shot."

Jian Xiaojie rubbed her temples and said, "Shangnan has been quite unsettled lately, with all sorts of messy and upsetting things happening. Don't worry, leave this to me."

Although Lü Yao's QQ Supplies Trading Company is a borderline business, and also a very important cash flow enterprise run by Jian Xiaojie and Monica, all the procedures and regulations on this business line are legal, and even the taxes that should be paid are in full.

However, because the foreign trade industry enjoys many benefits and preferential treatments, the taxes paid can be largely offset.

Normally, even if the relevant authorities were to conduct an investigation, there wouldn't be any problems.

But since it's a review that's received special attention, they're bound to nitpick. But using connections is something anyone can do.

As one of the more important cash flow businesses currently in Jian Xiaojie's hands, she is very concerned about QQ Supplies Trading Company. After making a phone call with Lü Yao, Jian Xiaojie also started to recruit people.

At the same time, Jian Xiaojie also asked Fu Jinjin, who had been following her, to investigate who this Li Huisheng was and who was behind him, and also asked her to use her connections to investigate this person.

As for whether anything can be found... Jian Xiaojie didn't care. Not to mention that no one in this world is clean except for a newborn baby, even if there really are pure and innocent people, if they want to frame someone, just starting an investigation would be enough to have an impact.

Jian Xiaojie moved quickly and with great force.

It's much more powerful than Li Huisheng's side.

That afternoon, Li Huisheng received news that all the companies he had investigated had no problems. Li Huisheng found it unbelievable; how could businesses and industries operating in the gray area be without any loopholes?
The only possibility is that the other party has already realized what's happening and taken action.

Then, right after, Li Huisheng's uncle, Li Daimin, called: "You come over here right now!!"

Li Huisheng was completely bewildered, but he still rushed to Li Daimin's office.

After he entered Li Daimin's office, Li Daimin quickly got up and slammed the door shut, then began to berate him: "What's wrong with you?! How could you mess with General Manager Lü of Shangnan? Are you out of your mind?! How could you do that to him?!"

Li Daimin was furious, every cell in his body radiating anxiety.

Li Huisheng said aggrievedly, "Is it my fault? I did what you said. You said we should make the locals afraid of us. How can we make the locals afraid of us? We should find the strongest among them and beat them to a pulp."

Li Daimin was furious. He rubbed his forehead and scolded, "Did you even consider whether you could beat them? What kind of skills do they have?!"

Li Huisheng looked down at his wrist, then looked at his uncle: "Uncle, what's the use of complaining to me now? I've already done what I had to do. If we back down now, no one will respect us in the future."

Li Daimin remained silent.

He paced back and forth in his office.

Indeed, Li Huisheng had brought the game to a head-on confrontation. If this matter couldn't be resolved, their prestige in Shangnan... wouldn't just plummet, but would be completely destroyed.

Li Huisheng continued to embellish the story: "Don't you still have connections above you? If you don't act now, when will he? We're working for him, we can't be expected to shoulder everything, can we?"

Li Daimin glared at Li Huisheng and said, "Shut up!"

This guy's brain is practically binary.

Li Daimin impatiently kicked Li Huisheng out: "Get out, get out, don't bother me, I get annoyed just looking at you!"

After kicking Li Huisheng out, Li Daimin continued pacing in his office.

The third seat in Shangnan has only recently taken office and urgently needs to achieve results, as well as some time to establish his prestige. Shangnan is now entangled with too many conflicts of interest. Although these people from the neighboring Huizhou faction have higher-ups supporting them, their work here is even more difficult to carry out.

For example, the third-place applicant encountered a great deal of resistance when trying to attract companies from Huizhou.

Elsewhere, if you have a built-in "investment attraction buff" that brings in more industries and tax revenue, then even if you're a powerful figure, you can still be promoted to a government position.

However, the situation is different in developed cities like Shangnan and Asu. Here, there are very strict review standards for companies that come to invest, and companies with high pollution and high consumption cannot establish themselves here.

Southern cities like Shangnan, Asu, Axi, and A ( ) are relocating some heavy industrial enterprises, even offering subsidies to them. Northern cities like Shisanmei and Alian are also key areas of focus.

By relocating production enterprises and leaving behind offices, the economy of both the north and south was stimulated to develop together, while also forming a cyclical economic model of "finance and industry" within the bulk goods province.

This model has been very successful.

The strong integration of finance and industry within a small region has created a very powerful and highly sticky economic model.

So despite the outside world's constant claims that the Thirteen Protectors are all vying for power, their economic cooperation in the private sector is actually very close. This is why the bulk energy sector has repeatedly created higher economic value despite suppression.

This economic model has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages.

The downside is that this economic model has almost achieved self-sufficiency, to the point that bulk production provinces are basically exporting their products.

This is analogous to the trade between Tokyo University and the Land of Light in recent years. With a strong trade surplus, Tokyo University has been earning more and more money from the Land of Light. Similarly, the Bulk Province, relying on its economic model that combines the north and south, also has a strong trade surplus with other provinces.

A very simple example.

In the agricultural and sideline products sector alone, the bulk agricultural and sideline products from the province have already opened up sales channels in the Southwest F3 region, not to mention the surrounding provinces. However, other provinces do not sell as much of their products in bulk here.

Because people here, especially those from Asu and Ahu, prefer imported goods.

The students at the bottom of the rankings in the north have more than they can use up in their own province... Every year, the rural appliance subsidy program and various other subsidies have enabled rural areas in the province with limited supply to live a very good life, leaving no room for products from other provinces to enter the market.

Of course. There are other economically developed provinces in China, such as neighboring Zhejiang and Shandong provinces, Guangdong province to the south, and even Fujian province.

However, these provinces rely heavily on appearance, especially Minzhou... You can meet people from Minzhou and Guangdong anywhere abroad. Of course, don't try to get close to them. People from your hometown abroad are very open and honest with each other.

Under this economic model, coupled with the unique historical and geographical background of the city, it is natural that some people want to disrupt the aura of Shanghai South and at the same time divide up the pie.

and so.

That's why Li Daimin's former superior took office in Shangnan, bringing a group of people with him.

Unfortunately, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Their work in Shangnan was very difficult. Not only were the companies they wanted to bring in blocked, but even the businessmen in the chamber of commerce didn't support them.

Li Daimin is now feeling that this matter is very difficult to handle.

Should we bide our time or press on with our momentum?
Should we report this to the authorities?
It wouldn't be appropriate to bring this up in the media!
I think this is inappropriate.

But if we don't push forward, it seems we can't beat them on their home turf.

After much deliberation, Li Daimin finally made a decision: he would dedicate himself to the game, sacrificing his life for the greater good, and use his own actions to disrupt the game.

So, taking advantage of the hour before the end of the workday, Li Daimin directly used his authority as the president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce to convene a high-level meeting within the chamber.

At the meeting, he emphasized the importance of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce in Shangnan's business activities, and stressed that the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce must closely cooperate with Shangnan's important work to set an example for Shangnan in creating a civilized and advanced city.

Li Daimin even brought up many negative business activities that had been exposed two years ago.

Then, Li Daimin changed the subject and brought up Lü Yao.

At a high-level meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Daimin began to criticize Lü Yao: "There is such a person in the business community of Shangnan who has connections everywhere and is incredibly powerful. I don't think I need to elaborate on what kind of person he is and what he has done, do I?"

Amid the whispers of the attendees, Li Daimin said, "You all definitely know this person; everyone calls him Little Lü from Shangnan."

In the chamber of commerce's office, the attending senior executives were immediately in an uproar.

Although they had also heard rumors that the two sides had clashed, it seemed that the newly appointed president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce had suffered a setback in the first round of the confrontation.

I didn't expect this new president to be so fast. He got the short end of the stick this afternoon and he wants to get it back before he leaves work.

Li Daimin continued righteously, "Therefore, I propose that Lü Yao be expelled from the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce and stripped of his title as honorary president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce, and that this be announced to the public."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

No one even whispered to each other; they just looked at Li Daimin, who was sitting in the main seat, with all sorts of different expressions.

These gazes ranged from mocking, to somber, to amused, and some even suggested that Li Daimin might have gone mad.

After a moment of silence, the executive chairman of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce coughed lightly twice and said with a smile, "Chairman Li, your statement is too serious, it can even be called an accusation. Moreover, it is completely unfounded and baseless."

As he spoke, the executive chairman got into the swing of things: "Moreover, President Lü has made great contributions to the economic development, the improvement of the happiness index, and even the development of high technology in Shangnan. How can we do something so disheartening to such a young and promising business elite?"

Then, the executive chairman said, seemingly out of kindness, "There must be some misunderstanding between you and President Lü. How about this, I'll treat you both to a meeting, sit down and talk it out, and clear up the misunderstanding?"

Other executives at the meeting chimed in with laughter, "Yes, yes, if you have any problems, just sit down, have a meal and a few drinks, and you'll easily solve them."

"There's no need to make it like this. Let's all keep things peaceful and make money, hahaha."

Looking at this group of people trying to smooth things over, Li Daimin, president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce, said, "This is a matter of principle, and there is no room for compromise on matters of principle. I am exercising this function based on my position and awareness as president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce."

With things having come to this point, the executive president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce darkened his face and said, "President Lü is the honorary president of our chamber of commerce and has made significant contributions to the economic development of Shangnan. To expel someone of this caliber from membership requires a two-thirds majority vote of the executive management committee."

"President Li, I think this matter is very difficult to pass. If this proposal is recorded but not passed, it will be very bad for your future."

But Li Daimin lowered his eyes and said, "I don't intend for this proposal to fail. My plan is that this proposal will be approved by all the management committee members."

As soon as Li Daimin finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat agitated, and some attendees couldn't help but show signs of nervousness.

But Li Daimin's next words made him sit up straight instantly.

Li Daimin glanced at everyone present with a heavy and serious expression and said, "If this proposal cannot be passed, it means that I am not competent to manage the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce, and I will submit my resignation to the higher-ups."

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became heavy.

Li Daimin raised his wrist, glanced at the Seagull watch he had worn for many years, and said, "There's still half an hour before we get off work. In order not to delay everyone's departure time, I hope there can be a result in half an hour."

After saying that, Li Daimin actually stood up and said, "I'll wait outside the meeting room for your vote."

After saying that, he walked outside on his own.

As they watched Li Daimin's retreating figure, the atmosphere at the scene plummeted to freezing point.

After Li Daimin gently closed the conference room door, the people remaining in the meeting room suddenly began to speak up: "This Chairman Li is so powerful! He's only been here a short time and he's already making such a fuss? Is he kidding me?"

"This is utterly ridiculous. What kind of status and position does Chairman Lü have? By doing this, he is practically cutting himself off from the Shangnan business circle."

"This proposal must not be passed under any circumstances!"

Amidst the discussions, the executive president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce grew increasingly grim.

Li Daimin's actions seemed to be aimed at Lü Yao, but in reality, they were directed at him, the executive chairman.

The current executive president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce was formerly the vice president of the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce. After the former president and executive president stepped down, the position that originally belonged to the president was split in two, with the position with real power falling to the current executive president.

The title of president, whose prestige outweighed his power, fell to Li Daimin.

Both of them had only recently taken office. In theory, although their positions had been split up, they should have worked closely together and helped each other complement each other—of course, in most cases they actually undermined each other, with one eventually subduing the other.

Now, it's Li Daimin trying to tame the executive chairman.

But the executive chairman has been able to stay in the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce for so long, so he must have some shrewdness and composure. Since Li Daimin has pulled such a "feint" on him, he might as well "invite the wolf into the house" in return.

The executive chairman slammed his hand on the table: "Alright, stop arguing. Now that things have escalated to this point, I think it's absolutely necessary for President Lü to know about this."

After saying that, the executive chairman dialed Lu Yao's number in front of everyone.

The call was answered quickly.

After the executive chairman gave a brief explanation of the situation, Lü Yao understood what was going on.

Having lost the battle of personal connections, Li Daimin, already in a difficult situation, decided to stake his future on the game.

However, Li Daimin's pressure was not directed at Lü Yao, but at the executive chairman who also served in the Shangnan Chamber of Commerce. For two chamber of commerce leaders who had just taken office, the fact that the president resigned because he was "unable to continue managing the chamber of commerce" was enough to bring down the executive chairman as well.

The executive chairman is also shrewd. Li Daimin used a feint to the east while attacking the west, so he shifted the blame to the east, or as some might say, "invited the wolf into the house," by bringing Lü Yao into the fray as well.

Lü Yao's attitude will determine how this matter will proceed.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yao also paced back and forth in his office, silently pondering.

The executive chairman's phone call remained on, waiting for Lü Yao's reply.

Two minutes later.

Having made his decision, Lü Yao first expressed his gratitude over the phone: "Thank you so much, Chairman Dai, for calling to inform me of this matter. I am extremely grateful. Please visit our company more often when you have time."

The executive chairman laughed heartily and said, "Of course, of course, President Lü, what's your opinion on this matter?"

Lü Yao laughed and said, "Since President Li wants to expel me from my membership and remove my honorary president status... it must be because I haven't done a good job in management, so I agree with President Li's statement."

The executive chairman frowned slightly and asked, "Is that all?"

Lu Yao added, "But it would look bad if I were fired. How about we compromise and I resign?"

The executive chairman immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Oh dear, you've really been put in a difficult position, Mr. Lü!"

After the performance ended, the executive chairman had someone call in President Li from outside.

The executive chairman repeated Lu Yao's request: "Chairman Li, our discussion has yielded results. I have also spoken with Mr. Lu on the phone."

Li Daimin looked at Executive Director Dai Guocheng with a calm and composed gaze.

Dai Guocheng sighed heavily and said, "After unanimous discussion, we still feel that directly expelling President Lü from membership and removing his honorary president title is still going too far."

Li Daimin's eyes instantly turned fierce: "Is that so?"

Dai Guocheng immediately added, "But we've come up with a compromise. Mr. Lü said he'll resign on his own. What do you think of that?"

The words fell.

Li Daimin's face turned deathly pale instantly.
