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

Chapter 353 Lü Yao: How about I build a nest? (6k views, please subscribe)

Rong Nianqing's arrangements were very thoughtful, which warmed Lü Yao's heart.

Regardless of whether this was Rong Nianqing's way of winning people over, Lü Yao was grateful. Moreover... Lü Yao could actually sense that his relationship with Rong Nianqing was no longer just that of business partners or friends.

Even the description "both teacher and friend" is slightly insufficient.

But to call them "close friends" feels a bit premature.

Since Rong Nianqing had already made the arrangements, Lü Yao naturally had no choice but to comply.

After enjoying the comprehensive services arranged by Rong Nianqing, Lü Yao did indeed have a rare good night's sleep. Coming here to rest and relax, Lü Yao truly felt relaxed from the bottom of his heart, as if this place had its own protective barrier that could isolate him from all the troubles and worries of the outside world.

When he woke up the next day, President He deliberately did not leave Meiyuan. Instead, he put aside all his work and stayed at Meiyuan for two days. He wanted to use these two days to completely destroy the cooperation with Huanxie Technology, as well as with Lü Yao and Rong Nianqing.

Although Rong Nianqing and Lü Yao came here specifically to cooperate with President He, President He actually had no reason to worry. However, President He is a very decisive person, and such an important matter should be finalized as soon as possible.

Because even someone of President He's rank knows that although the country appears peaceful and prosperous, there are frighteningly many undercurrents surging beneath this serene facade.

And of course, the sooner we take control of such a "heavyweight" industry, the better.

As for the Luoma Lake AI Data Center industry that provides software support for these drones, although that industry has nothing to do with Mr. He, Mr. He actually has a very good relationship with the domestic research school. Through the company "Huanxie Technology", Mr. He can deepen the relationship between the two sides.

So after the dinner that night, President He began to work on investing in Huanxie Technology. The research report, product evaluation, market potential analysis, contract drafting and other processes all started simultaneously within a single day.

The research report and product evaluation take a long time, while the market potential analysis and other related evaluation reports are just materials that General Manager He uses for the company and are not important.

Therefore, the most important purpose for President He staying here is to secure the cooperation agreement.

All other procedures and formalities can be completed after a contract is signed.

Before coming to Meiyuan, Lü Yao and Wang Yushu had already made preparations for cooperation, bringing contracts and lawyers with them, with Rong Nianqing also assisting them at all times.

This is when you can see how power influences the progress of work.

Normally, companies like theirs would spend one or two weeks preparing for contracts and other related matters before finally signing them. But here, they can get it done in a single day by working overtime.

The fact that things were able to proceed so quickly is also related to President He's straightforward and decisive nature.

Just like what President He said last night, there will be no limit to the resources that President He's side will invest in Huanxie Technology in the future. As long as it is a reasonable part, President He's side will mobilize all resources to supply it. This is actually what President He's side often says: "to win a certain project at any cost".

However, in the actual terms, there is a dividing line to this "regardless of cost".

Once the resources invested exceed a certain threshold, it is normal for President He to intervene in the review and investigation. Therefore, Lü Yao and Wang Yushu readily accepted the terms of their negotiation and finally signed the contract that evening.

After the contract was signed, General Manager He was very happy, feeling quite pleased with himself, and even a little reluctant to leave.

He held the newly signed contract in his hand, looking at it over and over again. Finally, his gaze fell on the company name of Huanji Technology. He jokingly said, "I feel that what you've created is excellent in every aspect. It's just that your company name looks... well, a bit too avant-garde."

When asked about the company name, Wang Yushu scratched his head. He had strongly advocated for the name, and later Lü Yao also supported and agreed with it.

If it needs to be changed...

Actually, it's not that it's impossible.

Even Wang Yushu's support eventually couldn't withstand the pressure from a big shot like President He.

But Lü Yao appeared relaxed. Now that everyone had signed the contracts, the sudden mention of this was certainly not to get Huanxie Technology to change its name. So Lü Yao deliberately laughed and said, "Mr. He, do you think this company name is a bit too serious? If Mr. He could give us a new name, it would be an honor for Huanxie Technology."

Upon hearing this, President He quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Xiao Lü, you're joking. No matter how many ideas I have, they can't compare to you young people. As a tech company, having a fresh and innovative name is a good thing, a good thing, hahaha."

After chatting with everyone for a while, President He stood up and said, "I've had a very pleasant two days. Thank you, Sister Meng, Nianqing, and Xiao Lü, for your hospitality. If I didn't have so many things to do, I would really like to stay here for a few more days."

Aunt Meng, who had been standing by, returned to the center of the stage and said with a smile, "Then stay a few more days. Leave your work to the staff. You should rest well; good health is more important than anything else."

Mr. He shook his head and laughed, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Meng, but I really have to go back to work. I can't afford to delay any longer."

After saying that, President He walked outside, and his secretary, assistant and "private security" followed suit.

As they walked, President He deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Don't try to persuade me, okay? I'm easily swayed and can't resist being persuaded. Nianqing, this year during the Spring Festival, you must bring Xiao Lü and Xiao Wang and make time to stay at my place for a couple of days. My two good-for-nothing sons are no good at doing anything serious, but when it comes to eating, drinking, and having fun, they're quite shrewd."

Rong Nianqing, who was standing next to President He, smiled and said, "That's for sure."

Rong Nianqing and the others escorted President He to the entrance of Meiyuan Garden until his convoy disappeared from sight before returning home.

On the way back, Rong Nianqing relaxed for once, stretching back on the sightseeing bus. After taking a few deep breaths, she said with a smile, "This cooperation went even more smoothly than I expected. The contracts were signed in less than two days."

Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing were riding in the same sightseeing bus. With only Rong Nianqing's family driver in front and no outsiders around, Lu Yao relaxed a lot, so he smiled and said, "If President He is interested, why not sign a contract right away? Isn't that normal?"

Rong Nianqing laughed: "Normal my foot! The bigger the company, the more complete its systems and processes are. Especially the core group managed by President He, there are strict procedures for similar cooperation negotiations. Under normal circumstances, even if it is a cooperation that I introduce, the necessary procedures will still be followed. It's just that there are fewer obstacles and the process is faster."

"But this time, President He's cooperation with you is beyond what can be described as fast."

This is clearly using personal influence to give Lü Yao the green light.

This is somewhat unusual.

That's why Rong Nianqing talked to Lü Yao about this; she was certain that Lü Yao knew some inside information.

After thinking for a moment, Lü Yao said, "At this point in time, showing President He these products that can be easily modified to enter another field is, of course, based on my analysis of the current international situation."

"The future international situation will definitely be sharp, complex, and may even involve very bad and violent conflicts. Against this backdrop, any scientific breakthrough that can enhance our own strength will definitely be noticed by President He and then quickly signed."

"I even suspect that the reason Mr. He signed me so quickly was because he was afraid that someone else would interfere and obstruct the process, causing the deal to fail before it even began."

Rong Nianqing listened and nodded silently.

Not all mutually beneficial and joyful things are blessed by everyone. Let alone someone as powerful as President He, even in a normal middle-class family, when a perfect couple gets married, there will always be relatives secretly causing trouble, unable to bear seeing the other person doing well.

So the reason why President He was in such a hurry was partly because he really thought highly of the research results presented by Lü Yao and his team, and partly because he was afraid.

The main reason is probably just as Lu Yao guessed: the world situation is becoming increasingly unstable, and as a leader in this field, President He must have received some information and thus began to make arrangements in advance.

After resolving her small doubts, Rong Nianqing felt particularly moved.

Lü Yao, that guy...

That's really impressive.

Even though they've only been abroad a few times, they unconsciously incorporate international affairs into their thinking when considering issues. They might even leverage changes in the international situation and their own resources as a springboard to attract a larger group of stakeholders.

Because of the interplay of these interests, the Rong family branch gradually gained a foothold in the initially complex situation and rapidly grew into a powerful force that could not be ignored.

Think of this.

Rong Nianqing thought for a moment, then suddenly said to Lü Yao beside her, "Lü Yao, thank you."

Lü Yao leaned back in the sightseeing bus, enjoying the gentle breeze of early autumn in the province. Hearing Rong Nianqing's thanks, Lü Yao was a little confused: "Huh? What are you thanking me for?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "If you're thanking me, just accept it. Why are you asking why?"

After saying that, Rong Nianqing turned her face away and ignored Lü Yao.

Lu Yao found it inexplicable, but he could understand this sudden surge of emotion. Even a strong, calm, and reserved woman like Rong Nianqing could be suddenly dominated by emotions and possessed by a ghost.

……

The day after President He left Meiyuan, Lü Yao also left Meiyuan.

As for Wang Yushu and the people from Huanxie Technology, Lü Yao told them to stay at the Plum Garden for two more days.

Rong Nianqing's family owns a very large garden on the outskirts of Wuxi. It has many recreational facilities, and some areas have even been rented out by the local cultural and tourism authorities to create a tourist attraction. During holidays and festivals, many people from Wuxi and even the surrounding areas come here to visit.

Even so, these external disturbances did not bother Aunt Meng, who actually lived here, which shows just how big this plum garden is.

Let Wang Yushu and his group enjoy this wonderful place.

Only after truly experiencing the enjoyment and satisfaction that money brings will they have more motivation to work when they return to their posts.

Lu Yao returned to Shangnan and quickly dealt with the work that had piled up over the past two days. Then he began to sort out his businesses and prepare for what might happen next.

Currently, besides his internet-related businesses, Lu Yao is deeply involved in several key companies, including Huanxie Technology, Luoma Lake AI Data Center, and Weiguang International. These are important and core companies in which Lu Yao has a strong veto power.

But beyond these industries, Lü Yao also holds a considerable amount of cash in his accounts overseas, especially in the overseas stock market and the cryptocurrency market. In particular, through continuous buying and selling of his cryptocurrency assets, the initial investment has long since grown to an astronomical figure that even Lü Yao finds unreal.

This is Lü Yao's last trump card.

It was something Lü Yao had left for himself to rely on in life. Unless it really involved life and death, Lü Yao would never touch the money in his overseas cryptocurrency account.

in the country, Lü Yao actually has a relatively flexible amount of funds.

That's the investment money left with Liu Mulin.

Liu Mulin is a "reserve management talent" funded and invested in by Rong Nianqing's family. She is not only very beautiful, but also very smart, especially in the field of investment, where her talent is particularly outstanding.

Since starting her investment and financial management company with the support of Lü Yao and Rong Nianqing, Liu Mulin has also achieved considerable success with the help of Rong Nianqing's circle of people.

Normally, with these interconnected or deeply entangled companies helping each other, Lü Yao's position should be very stable.

But what I fear most is... that something abnormal might happen.

With Lü Yao's active preparations, time moved forward at a steady pace, regardless of anyone's will.

Then, in the blink of an eye, it was the end of October.

That evening, Lü Yao invited Lin Yongzhen, Rong Nianqing, and Gan Xiaoxi to his house to play mahjong, with the loser having to leave.

While playing mahjong, Lü Yao idly played with the tiles in his hand, saying, "It's strange, even if we've been betting the best, the news should have leaked out by now. Why hasn't anything happened yet?"

Gan Xiaoxi had just lost and been penalized, so she was now eating the fruit platter quickly and in small gulps like a hamster. Hearing Lü Yao say this while playing cards, she asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Lu Yao ignored her.

Sitting opposite Lü Yao, Rong Nianqing sighed, "They're probably still thinking about how to deal with us. This feeling of being passively attacked is really unpleasant."

But they didn't know who would attack them. They couldn't just go crazy and search for enemies in the void like some girls on the internet in the future.

Gan Xiaoxi frowned and asked, "So, what exactly are you talking about? Why are you keeping things from me now?"

Everyone still ignored Gan Xiaoxi.

After playing a One of Bamboo, Jian Xiaojie said speechlessly, "Look how idle you guys are. Just deal with whatever comes your way. If they don't make a move, we should just relax. Why are you getting anxious? I don't understand."

This time it was Lü Yao's turn to speak: "Nanfeng, there's nothing I can do. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days."

Lin Yongzhen, the player to his left, discarded a six of bamboo, and Lü Yao exclaimed, "I win!"

Jian Xiaojie leaned over and glanced at him, then said with particular displeasure, "Damn it, what are you doing? Yongzhen, you're giving him a winning hand after you've already drawn two tiles."

Lin Yongzhen said a little shyly, "I'm not very good at it."

Gan Xiaoxi shouted, "It's my turn! It's my turn!"

Once back at the card table, Gan Xiaoxi asked anxiously, "Hey, what were you guys talking about just now? I felt like you were trying to scam someone! How were you going to do it? I can help you!"

Rong Nianqing suppressed a laugh and looked at Gan Xiaoxi: "Be good, play your cards well."

Gan Xiaoxi gritted her teeth: "You're all bullying me, aren't you!"

Everyone smiled without saying a word.
……

The current situation, where the enemy is lurking in the shadows and waiting to strike, is indeed unsettling, but Lü Yao is not particularly anxious.

After playing cards with Rong Nianqing and the others, Lü Yao went to work.

After arriving at the company, Lü Yao wandered around upstairs and downstairs. On the floor where the game company was located, Lü Yao saw a large number of people gathered there.

So Lü Yao slipped through the crowd and found the game company's receptionist, asking, "What's going on today? Why are there so many people?"

The receptionist recognized Lü Yao and became a little nervous when she saw him approach: "Hello, Mr. Lü. This is the Game Science team recruiting new people."

Hiring new people?

Is Game Science finally going back to making single-player games?
So Lü Yao left the front desk and went to Feng Ji's office.

When Lü Yao arrived at Feng Ji's office, he found the door closed. So Lü Yao politely knocked, and a muffled voice came from inside asking, "Who is it?"

Lu Yao replied from the doorway, "It's me, Lu Yao."

The door opened quickly. Feng Ji, who was balding but had put on a wig and looked much younger, opened the door and said with a smile, "President Lü, what brings you here?"

Lü Yao smiled and said, "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

Feng Ji quickly stepped aside, saying, "Please come in, please come in."

Once inside, Lü Yao found that there were quite a few people in Feng Ji's office. Besides Yang Qi, whom Lü Yao recognized, there were two other people that Lü Yao didn't know, but one of them looked very familiar, though Lü Yao couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.

Feng Ji closed the door again, and as Yang Qi stood up to greet Lü Yao, Feng Ji came over and introduced, "Mr. Lü, these two are our colleagues. This is a big shot in the game outsourcing industry. He has done projects for Sony and Ubisoft and is very capable."

Under Feng Ji's introduction, this gaming outsourcing guru bowed and humbly extended his hand, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Lü, I am Jiang Min. I have long admired you. Meeting you today, you are incredibly handsome."

Lu Yao politely shook hands with the other party.

Then Feng Ji continued, "This is Xia Siyuan, a veteran gamer with some similar experiences to mine, who is also actively entering the gaming industry."

This person was someone that Lü Yao felt looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.

It wasn't until Xia Siyuan stood up, bowed, and extended his hand to shake hands with Lü Yao that Lü Yao finally remembered who this was!
Xia Siyuan!

A disgrace to the domestic AAA game industry!
The game's creative director and producer, who has been condemned by countless players!

Ten years later, it almost blocked the path of domestic AAA masterpieces. Relying on early release and media hype, it wanted to steal the title of the second college student in the village from "Shadow Blade"!
When this scoundrel company released its game "The Legend of the Abyss", it caused countless players who were passionate about domestic single-player games and willing to spend real money to support domestic AAA games to smash their keyboards. They were betrayed by this scoundrel company and almost couldn't get back up.

So what did this scoundrel company do?

Using the ancient setting of Dongda University, they created a game that lets Tianfu players kill their own ancestors, twisting and mocking many famous and legendary figures against a wall of excrement.

Their purpose in doing this was to conduct a test of obedience.

If these people were to succeed, a similar foolish incident to the "King Jing Ke" incident would occur among teenagers in China, leading countless elementary school students to believe that the historical figure Jing Ke was actually a girl.

same.

If the games released by these scoundrels can truly reverse their reputation and change the preconceived notions of teenagers by saying things like "Who cares about history, as long as the game is fun," "I'm here to play games, not to learn history," or "You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill," then these scoundrels will have truly achieved their goal.

Suddenly snapping out of his reverie, Lü Yao forced himself to shake hands with Xia Siyuan, suppressing his nausea.

At this time, Xia Siyuan still had short hair and a round face with black-rimmed sunglasses, but even the thickest glasses couldn't hide his sclera-white eyes, the kind of eyes that made people feel very uncomfortable and annoyed at first glance.

Thanks to his experiences in both his past and present lives, Lü Yao is no longer a naive young man. Even when facing people he finds disgusting or hateful, he can remain gentle and composed without revealing his true feelings.

After greeting Jiang Min and Xia Siyuan, Lü Yao sat down in Feng Ji's office and asked, "What important matter are you discussing?"

Feng Ji laughed and said, "Mr. Lü, as you know, Yang Qi and I initially wanted to create our own AAA masterpiece. We didn't have the money at first, but now Guangan's 'Honor of Kings' is on track and its popularity is increasing day by day. So we thought, it's time to realize our wish."

Lu Yao laughed and said, "This is a good thing! I will definitely support it with all my might. Why didn't you tell me?"

Feng Ji scratched his head: "But now that we have money, we are severely short-handed. That's why we thought we'd tell you when we were more certain."

Lu Yao looked at Jiang Min and the others: "So you're planning to outsource?"

After a moment of contemplation, Feng Ji said, "It can't really be called outsourcing; it should be called in-depth cooperation."

Lu Yao nodded: "Oh, that's good. If you see any progress on the project, please let me know. I'm a hardcore gamer too. You guys chat first, I'm going to get busy."

A group of people in Feng Ji's office immediately stood up to see Lü Yao off.

Lu Yao stopped them: "Alright, alright, you should talk about serious matters. Don't see me off."

After leaving the game company floor and returning to his office, Lü Yao pondered for almost half an hour before finally picking up his phone and sending a message in his small group chat with Jian Xiaojie and Rong Nianqing: "I ran into two people today, and they came at just the right time."

"Right now that everything is so calm outside, do you think it would be effective if I suddenly sent two people out to bait the nest?"
