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

Chapter 433 Rong Nianqing: Hmm (6k views, please subscribe)

The real purpose of Lü Yao's many conversations with Boss Wang was not to wait for a higher price, or, as Boss Wang thought, to see if Boss Wang could bail him out in the future... Well, that was indeed part of it.

However, Lü Yao was also very clear about his own position. His work and background destined him to never be able to reach the stage of Boss Wang and his ilk in the future.

Not to mention reaching a level similar to that of Boss Wang.

For someone like Boss Wang, besides his own considerable strength, background, luck, and even the tides of the times are all very important factors. Even though Lü Yao has a lot of information about the future, and his ability to analyze and dissect information, honed through his past and present lives, is not bad, he is still not good enough on the stage where Boss Wang and his ilk are dancing.

Even with the support of Rong Nianqing, Shangnan, and even the forces in Sichuan, Lü Yao still couldn't cross the river.

Not to mention, every step from one side of the river to the other is like walking on thin ice.

Lu Yao felt that he could only reach the level of a think tank at most. If he wanted to step out of the think tank and become a powerful figure, he had to go down to the grassroots level, make achievements, and climb up step by step.

Lu Yao believed that the time and effort required were not worth it.

He doesn't have such a strong desire for power. All he's doing now is to ensure a safe landing in the future. In a novel, that would be being outside the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements.

Previously, Lü Yao had always found the phrase "transcending the three realms and not being within the five elements" in various classic texts to be very mysterious. Even after the rise of online novels, these terms, which originally appeared in various religious texts, became more and more popular. Many online novel authors used these mysterious words to create a high realm setting, but few could truly explain this realm clearly.

But now, Lü Yao probably understands.

All of humanity's imagination about the "supernatural" and "transcendence" is based on the alienation of phenomena in human society itself, and is derived from imagination.

The descriptions of "transcending the three realms and not being within the five elements" in ancient books ultimately mean that all rules in the real world no longer have any binding force or control over the "individual," and people can do whatever they want.

To truly reach this level, one needs to reach a certain height before attempting to reduce and empty the mind.

What do you mean?
There's no need for such esoteric expressions; explaining it with real-world examples makes it much easier.

In the TV series "Ming Dynasty", the wealthy merchant Shen Yishi is a powerful figure with immense wealth. To ordinary people, he is already a figure who is on top of the world. However, when it is necessary for him to perish, he must perish.

In the drama "Ming Dynasty", everyone, regardless of their rank, is actually Shen Yishi in different positions. Even the Emperor Wanshou, who truly sits in the Golden Palace, is actually just Shen Yishi who is lonely at the top and looks at the moon palace alone. In the drama "Ming Dynasty", there is no transcendent character who is "outside the three realms and outside the five elements".

However, in another TV series, "The Great Song Dynasty Forensic Examiner," Diao Guangdou, who was repeatedly demoted because of Song Ci, is a genuine character who "transcends the three realms and is not within the five elements."

If Diao Guangdou hadn't acted out of scholarly pride at the end, insisting on competing with Song Ci, or if he had restrained himself a little, he would truly have been free from all constraints.

So, when is it considered a lot of money? How high do you have to climb to be considered high? When you reach a certain level, there will naturally be people at that level who will become your rivals. So, if you want to be truly carefree, what matters is not how far you can go or how high you can climb.

The important thing is whether you can find your way back after you've come so far.

The important thing is whether you can land safely after climbing so high.

When Lü Yao first returned from studying abroad, he had no concept of these things. Although he missed many opportunities and squandered a lot of wealth due to his dissolute and impulsive behavior during his studies in the future, eventually even going bankrupt, he has now achieved considerable wealth by relying on his "mistakes collection" from his time studying abroad.

However, his ultimate reflections on life were ultimately superficial.

This truly proves the saying:

Each mountain offers its own unique scenery.

Each step requires its own set of considerations.

Every sky has its own rivals.

It was only after experiencing and reflecting on so much that Lü Yao came to have these thoughts.

Since the goal is to land safely, then Boss Wang's path must not be the path that Lü Yao is pursuing. However, relying on Boss Wang to "transcend the three realms" is still quite good.

After finishing his business with Boss Wang, Boss Wang was still quite wistful. He suddenly asked, "Little Lü, you're not that old, are you? I remember you were only twenty-seven."

Lü Yao laughed and said, "That's right, it's 27."

Boss Wang sighed, "What a fine time of life! Although you are from a developed region, the Southeast, while a paradise on earth, is not a place to make a name for yourself. Although there are still many impoverished areas in Sichuan, it is the true place for you to make a name for yourself."

As he spoke, Boss Wang looked at Lü Yao with a serious expression: "Three years at the grassroots level, five years as a regional governor, seven years governing a region, fifteen years if it's fast, twenty years if it's slow, and my current position will be yours."

At forty-seven years old, sitting in the position of Boss Wang is indeed very attractive.

By then, Lü Yao himself would be a legitimate immortal among the ranks of the immortals.

Honestly, if an ordinary person heard Boss Wang say that, they would immediately throw away their wealth and shout, "I want to retire with you!"

In fact, Boss Wang suddenly revealed his true intentions in order to find a good successor to carry on his legacy.

Although Boss Wang also has a successor, Lü Yao... is simply too outstanding.

The cultural tourism economy has brought a glimmer of hope to Ganzi and Aba, which had been impoverished for so long. This achievement is enough for Lü Yao to promote all the staff in Ganzi and Aba.

Before Lü Yao even entered their circle, they already had such a good team. Once Lü Yao joins, this is all his ready-made team. All Lü Yao needs to do is bring his "God of Wealth" attribute wherever he goes, and he will have no rivals in the future.

Lu Yao could hear the earnest expectation in Boss Wang's voice. He did not refuse Boss Wang's kindness, but said with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, "You think too highly of me. Of course, I will try my best to live up to your expectations."

When dealing with people in the workplace, it is essential to be able to discern the situation clearly.

You must be able to distinguish when someone is making empty promises, when they are scheming against you, and when they are genuinely praising you, and then respond appropriately, otherwise you will mess things up.

For example, right now, Boss Wang genuinely has high hopes for Lü Yao, and is even willing to play his cards right, telling Lü Yao that he is willing to pave the way for Lü Yao. If Lü Yao were to decline or be overly modest at this time, it would only make Boss Wang unhappy.

Therefore, Lü Yao could only verbally agree for the time being.

Boss Wang was very pleased with Lü Yao's statement.

Although he had already made many arrangements for succession, Lu Yao had two huge advantages over those people that they did not have!
Firstly, Lü Yao himself possesses an extremely strong ability to accumulate wealth. He can always find the most advantageous path for himself in a chaotic environment, then quickly and decisively enter the market, and then extract enormous wealth from the future trajectory.

Money may seem vulgar, but it's something you can't do without anywhere.

The entire series of "Da Ming Dynasty" makes it clear from the beginning that throughout the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the Grand Secretaries and the Emperor in the court were only doing one thing—calculating accounts.

The entire operation of the country, and the power struggles and intrigues among all the court officials, all reside in those seemingly tedious and boring accounts.

On the other hand, shows like "Nirvana in Fire" that "set aside wealth" and focus on power struggles all day long... are pure wish-fulfillment dramas. The Jiangzuo Alliance can lose its grain at will, yet it can still become incredibly wealthy... If this were in "Ming Dynasty," all the nobles in the palace would probably be laughing their heads off if they heard that such a person existed.

Shen Yishi's death is Mei Changsu's future; the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the Eastern Depot could come up with at least nine ways to make Mei Changsu die without even knowing how.

If Lü Yao could transform his business into high-tech industries and green cultural tourism industries, and bring in external assets, he would be the absolute god of wealth in Sichuan. Even if someone wanted to block this god of wealth from entering for their own benefit, those who wanted to get rich would work together to move those who wanted to be the god of wealth away before Lü Yao could get things done.

This is the "momentum" that Lü Yao possesses.

It is truly remarkable to see such "momentum" in a young man who is not yet thirty years old, especially since the other party came from Shangnan with goodwill and an olive branch.

Another huge advantage of Lü Yao is his age.

The path he laid out for Lü Yao has led him to his current position in twenty years. Lü Yao is only forty-seven years old, not yet fifty, which is already very, very young. Even if he stays in his position for a few more years, Lü Yao will be able to ascend to a higher position at most in his fifties.

Such a young and talented individual, one who has truly earned his position, is capable of becoming a cornerstone of a powerful force, and he can hold that position for at least twenty years.

The significance of a large ship having a ballast stone that can hold it up for twenty or even thirty years is one of the two main reasons why Boss Wang is so eager to win over Lü Yao.

Therefore, he genuinely hoped that Lü Yao could join his ranks.

With Boss Wang eagerly anticipating his arrival, Lü Yao finally brought the conversation to a close.

After watching Mr. Wang's car disappear from sight, Lü Yao returned to his own car.

The car he's driving now is the Land Rover that Rong Nianqing gave him. Originally, the car was in Shangnan, but Rong Nianqing saw that Lü Yao was going to work and cultivate the land in Sichuan for a long time, so she had it shipped over.

Although this car looks and has the appearance of a Land Rover, its interior has actually been completely altered.

For Lü Yao, this is not just a car, nor just a gift from Rong Nianqing; it has now become an indispensable, mobile safety fortress in Lü Yao's life.

After getting into the car and activating the vehicle's self-check function to confirm that there were no problems inside or out, Lü Yao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Being valued so highly by Boss Wang is a good thing, but it also puts pressure on me.

Lü Yao did not want to become a pawn in Boss Wang's camp, or in the Sichuan camp. He had always had his own plans, so Boss Wang's high regard for him and his attempts to win him over only made Lü Yao more nervous.

However, although Wang Da Lao's high regard brought great pressure and even crisis, the problem itself was not urgent.

Because many problems, if left unresolved, cease to be problems.

The reason why a problem is a problem is because various different demands have been squeezed together, resulting in changes.

Often, as the external environment changes, many problems will simply disintegrate on their own.

Just as cancer is fatal and incurable for a human, it is merely a tumor for a creature the size of a blue whale, which may eventually wither away because it can no longer supply itself with nutrients.

Next, all Lü Yao needs to do is wait for the Global Economic Development Symposium to arrive as scheduled.

After resting for a while, Lü Yao started the car and prepared to return to Ganzi.

There are many places in Sichuan, and Lü Yao didn't return to his guesthouse in Litang, Ganzi until late at night.

When Lü Yao returned to the guesthouse, he saw Rong Nianqing and Gan Xiaoxi chatting and laughing with Director Lei and the others. The warm yellow camping lights and the campfire in the yard burned quietly, dispelling the chill of the night and creating a warm and relaxed scene.

Upon seeing Lü Yao return, Rong Nianqing looked up at the door, raised her cup of hot milk tea to Lü Yao, and smiled, "You're back."

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback.

This feeling is somewhat reminiscent of the poem "A beautiful woman laughs at the thatched gate, a traveler returns home on a snowy night."

The stark contrast slightly invigorated Lü Yao's weary spirit.

As Lü Yao entered, he asked, "What brings you here?"

Gan Xiaoxi leaned against Rong Nianqing and said with a grin, "Of course I came to see you."

Lu Yao turned and looked around: "Is it just the two of you?"

Gan Xiaoxi immediately exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow, we came to see you and you're still not satisfied? You're being greedy!"

Hearing Gan Xiaoxi's strange cries, Lü Yao had a better idea of ​​what was going on.

So Lü Yao came to the campfire and sat down on the other side of Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing handed her lukewarm teacup to Lü Yao, who accepted it without hesitation and began to drink. The milk tea here was salty, with the aroma of milk and the salty and savory flavors blending together, making it a drink that one never tires of.

After finishing his tea, Lü Yao held the teacup and asked, "You know Boss Wang was looking for me?"

Rong Nianqing: "Mm."

Lu Yao turned to look at Rong Nianqing. The campfire reflected on his face, and the flickering firelight made the shadows on his face sway as well: "Afraid I'll be kidnapped?"

Rong Nianqing: "Mm."
