Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; when a drum breaks, everyone beats it.

Zhao Ruilong, once a top-tier playboy who roamed freely in Jiangnan Province, finally tasted the bitterness of human nature after experiencing a financial crisis that could be described as a "catastrophic disaster".

He knelt on the thresholds of every bank manager in the provincial capital, kowtowing until his forehead bled.

But all he found were cold, tightly closed doors.

No one dared to lend him money anymore.

—And no one dares to offend that mysterious entity that can stir up a monstrous wave in the capital market with a single hand.

Finally, the day before the court issued its ultimatum.

In order to preserve the last vestige of the Zhao family bloodline and to repay the astronomical debt.

Zhao Ruilong was forced to sign an asset transfer agreement with tears in his eyes, an agreement that could be described as "humiliating and detrimental to the nation's sovereignty."

He sold all of the Zhao family's core businesses in Jiangnan Province—including the several highly profitable listed companies and the dozen or so plots of prime land that had been hoarded and speculated on—at an outrageously low "cabbage price."

And the one who took over was none other than someone else.

It was that woman, whom he considered his "lifelong enemy."

—Nangong Yao!

……

The news caused an uproar in the business community of Jiangnan Province!

Everyone knows what this means!

This means that after the Nangong Group, an already enormous business empire, swallowed the Zhao family, the most lucrative "Tang Monk's flesh,"...

Its size will double again!

Its market value will undoubtedly break through the 500 billion mark!

And Nangong Yao, this extraordinary businesswoman who is only twenty-six years old, will officially take over the crown symbolizing the pinnacle of wealth from her father through this "snake swallowing an elephant" battle that is worthy of being recorded in history.

He's reached the top, becoming the new richest man in Jiangnan Province!

……

That night.

The provincial capital, home to the top-tier seven-star hotel, "Junyue Mansion".

A celebratory banquet hosted by the Nangong Group, ostensibly a "Thanksgiving" event but actually a "Crown of Kings," is being held here.

The banquet hall was filled with dignitaries and dazzling stars.

Almost all the prominent political and business figures in the entire Jiangnan Province were present!

They held their wine glasses, their faces plastered with humble yet obsequious smiles.

One by one, they rushed to toast and congratulate the business empress, who was dressed in a fiery red evening gown and looked as beautiful as a goddess descended from heaven.

The scene was even more lively than the coronation of an emperor in ancient times!

Nangong Yao simply held her wine glass elegantly, a polite yet distant smile on her face.

She is waiting.

She awaits the man who will truly conquer this empire for her.

……

8 PM.

The heavy, carved wooden door to the banquet hall was slowly pushed open from the outside.

A young man dressed in simple casual clothes, without even a tie, walked in slowly with his hands in his pockets.

That's right, Liu Ming.

His arrival instantly quieted the previously noisy banquet hall.

All eyes turned to that direction.

Those eyes were filled with awe, curiosity, and an indescribable...fear!

If Nangong Yao is the radiant empress standing on the stage tonight, then...

So, Liu Ming is the one hiding behind her, controlling everything, the one who truly sends chills down your spine... the emperor!

"You've finally arrived."

When Nangong Yao saw Liu Ming, the cold facade on her face instantly melted away.

Lifting her skirt, like a little girl, she disregarded her image and weaved through the crowd, throwing herself into his arms.

"I thought you were going to stand me up again." Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness and... grievance, a trait she only revealed in front of Liu Ming.

"How could that be?"

Liu Ming smiled, reached out and naturally pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back.

"My Empress, be crowned."

"How could I, the 'Great General Protecting the Nation,' be absent?"

Their oblivious intimacy was like poisoned dog food, forcefully shoved into the mouths of all the young talents present, leaving them heartbroken.

Just then.

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.

A spotlight shone on the center of the stage.

The host walked onto the stage and announced in an extremely impassioned voice:

"Distinguished guests!"

"Tonight, we are honored to have with us our most distinguished guest!"

"He is our Nangong Group's forever Chief Strategic Advisor!"

"He's also the only...hero in President Nangong's heart!"

"Now, let's give a warm round of applause to—"

"—Mr. Liu Ming, please come on stage and say a few words to us!"

"Whoosh—!!!"

Thunderous applause instantly filled the entire banquet hall!

Liu Ming was stunned.

He looked at Nangong Yao, who was facing him and winking playfully, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This girl...

They really don't miss any opportunity to put him in a very difficult position.

……

Under the spotlight.

Liu Ming slowly walked onto the stage.

He didn't use any official jargon or platitudes.

He simply looked at the faces below the stage, filled with awe and anticipation, and then at the woman beside him, whose beauty could outshine even the stars.

He smiled.

That smile was warm, and sincere.

"I am neither a hero nor an advisor."

"I'm just a lucky friend."

"If I had to pinpoint a secret to success..."

"That might be..."

He turned to look at Nangong Yao, his deep eyes filled with endless tenderness.

"...I'm better at 'investing'."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the horrified gazes of everyone, as if they had seen a ghost.

Slowly, he lowered his head.

On Nangong Yao's smooth, rosy profile.

A gentle kiss, filled with tenderness and supreme glory, was placed upon him.

that moment.

Flashbulbs, flashing like crazy!

The applause was deafening!

Nangong Yao is completely deified!
