ived and dispersed the reporters.At that time, due to the reporter's tugging, her clothes were in disarray and she looked quite embarrassed. But she laughed, looking at the police who arrived late, t...As soon as Rong Ling agreed, Rong Sanbo received the news and immediately called Rong Ling, launching into a furious scolding. "Foolish! Those old fellows are scheming behind your back, can't you see that!"
Rong Ling did not speak.
RONG Sanbo's voice was full of anger. "You wouldn't really be bewitched by a woman, would you You can't even see through such simple tricks! Your father and brother have been acting suspiciously lately, haven't you noticed! You went out just because they told you to, Rong Ling, are you really this stupid now! All these years I've spent teaching you, it's been for nothing! You little rascal, get your butt over here right now! If I don't give you a good beating, I think you're becoming an utter fool!"
This statement truly embodies the attitude of a father towards his son. The feeling of "pity for his misfortune, anger at his inaction," and a fervent desire to fight in his place is so genuine and touching!
Rong Ling smiled faintly, but her eyes were warm. "Third Uncle, calm down. I understand everything you said!"
Rong Sanbo instinctively retorted, “You don't know a thing! If you truly understood, how could you let those old fellows lead you by the nose!”
"Heh heh, Third Uncle, do you think I'm this weak!"
He smiled like that, and Rong Sanbo instantly came to his senses. To be able to laugh at such a moment, one must either be foolish enough to be a donkey or smart enough to be a fox! Naturally, Rong Ling could not be a silly donkey!
What do you mean by that!
"I've got this covered!"
“When you go abroad, many things will be out of your control. It's not a matter of whether you can arrange them!”
I've got this under control, things won't go off track!
Rong Sanbo remained silent for a long time before letting out a heavy snort. "You little rascal, come over here quickly, so we can have a good talk!"
Rong Ling knew that for this elder who cared so much about him, he couldn't hide too much. It would be unfair to let him worry unnecessarily, so he simply agreed with a "yes" and went.
Inside the heavily guarded military building, Rong Sanbo took a deep drag of his cigarette, his gloomy face becoming even more indistinct within the swirling smoke. Watching this young man, whom he had practically raised himself, listening to the waves of powerful training sounds and roars coming from outside, a bitter sense of helplessness welled up in his heart.
This was his chosen successor, the one who should have taken his place. He should have been a younger man who could go further and climb higher than him, yet he stubbornly gave up this great opportunity that was within reach, choosing instead to dive into that complex and treacherous business world. After much struggle, he finally reached the top of that house, but now...
"Is it worth it for that woman!"
Even if it's "love the mountains and rivers more, love beauties even more," he shouldn't be so resolute! He doesn't have to be so determined.
Rongshen smiled faintly, without a word!
Rong Sanbo sucked on his cigarette listlessly, until he finished the precious panda one by one, before snuffing it out and speaking again. "You can do that if you want, but I have a condition, you have to leave Youyou with me!"
Rong Ling raised his head.
Rong Sanbo snorted. "I went to all this trouble, in the end I can't just come up empty-handed, can I You hand over Youyou to me, and I'll let you go. That child is good, I have my eye on him. In the future, this position of mine, it's going to be his!"
Rong Ling furrowed her brows.
Rong Sanbo's face darkened even further. "Hmph, are you afraid that woman won't be willing to part with it! Oh, for that woman's sake, you're truly willing to forget your roots!"
Rong Ling looked at the elder in front of him. Though he appeared to be strong and healthy, his face was etched with wrinkles that betrayed his age. A glimmer flashed in Rong Ling's eyes, and he felt a sense of relief wash over him.
"Suit yourself!" he smiled. "But Youyou's quite headstrong, you know. If you want him to listen to you, you'll have to put in some effort!"
"Humph, that goes without saying! A true general commands the respect of his soldiers. Rest assured, I have plenty of that."
Hearing this, Rong Ling thought of his once defiant self. In the end, he was forced by his proud elders to change from a thorn into what he was now. He couldn't help but laugh even deeper.
When he was about to leave, a question from Rong Sanbo suddenly came from behind him.
"You quit smoking!"
He paused, letting out a soft "um."
Then came a series of heavy snorts. "I don't even know who you think you are!"
He thought for a moment, then replied nonchalantly, "Probably like you!"
Then he opened the door and walked out, then gently closed it behind him.
Upon hearing this, Fang's countenance relaxed slightly. A faint smile touched his lips as he chuckled softly.
"This kid!"
He wasn't raised for nothing!
With a sigh, he turned his head to look at a picture frame beside him. In it, a young woman in a plain dress with two braids was smiling sweetly at him. He reached out and picked up the frame, wiping the glass without hesitation with his sleeve. Then, his finger gently traced the woman's face. As he did so, his eyes began to redden.
"Knock, knock," a sudden sound of knocking on the door!
"Report!" A loud voice from the soldier outside!
He pursed his lips, gently placing the picture frame back on the table. Then, he composed himself, blinking his eyes once. When he opened them again, he was once more the resolute and intelligent iron-blooded general, one who commanded both fear and respect!
"Come in!" he responded, his voice booming as well!
He can't give up yet, he can't just go looking for her like this. He has to persevere, to raise that boy himself, and then hand over everything to him with his own hands!
Just as Rong Ling had stepped out of the country, Rong Fei's martial arts operations immediately kicked into gear.
The He family had been stubbornly resisting. However, the news brought by Rong Feiwu turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Rong Feiwu's hint to the He family was that they would do their utmost to support Rong Qikeng. In that case, the Rong family would spare the He family this time.
On the other hand, the order for He Kuan to be confined at home and reflect on his actions was also revoked. The one who made this change was directly from a high-ranking official in the military department. After He Kuan returned home from the army, his face was somber. Old Mrs. He, as well as several key figures in the He family, were also silent.
"I never expected Rong Qikeng to have such strength!" He Kuan sighed. This time, he returned to his post thanks to Liu's great efforts. He was now someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Rong Sanping from the Rong family. Liu's people had given him only one instruction: to stand on Rong Qikeng's side!
What He Kuan didn't understand was when Rong Qikeng had gotten close to Liu Shouzhang. He was ignoring Rong Sanbo, who was a good connection within the Rong family, and instead befriending an outsider, a powerful military leader. It was truly baffling. However, if he could use Rong Qikeng's influence to gain Liu Shouzhang's protection, then his position as a major general could be improved significantly in just a few years. This would be far easier than relying on the support of Rong Sanbo from within the family!
That man is rather straightforward and speaks based on military achievements. If the people he intends to support don't have significant military exploits or political achievements, he won't give them much face.
"The Rong family, it seems like the sky is about to change!"
He Kuan finally uttered these words!
Old Mrs. He's face twitched, her eyes flickering with intense hesitation!
They have to choose a side! Having received such a great favor from Rong Qikeng, not standing on his side would be inexcusable. Moreover, with the eldest son now having Liu Shouchang's support, it is indeed necessary to seize this opportunity. Letting go of this chance means there will be no further opportunities to associate with Liu Shouchang! However, since the eldest son was previously under Rong Jie's command and is now switching allegiance to Liu Jie, Rong San might not be pleased!
But when the old woman thought about her son's suffering this time, and the robbery that had happened to the He family, hatred welled up in her heart, but it also strengthened her resolve. Since Rong San treated his son like this, and Rong Ling was so merciless towards their He family, why should their He family give Rong Ling face!
This guy is out of line, someone should put him in his place!
Besides, with Rong Qikeng's help, the He family could get through this difficult time. They now have no other choice but to stand by Rong Qikeng!
In the unlikely event that Rong Qi doesn't manage to remove Rong Ling from her position as head of the family, then she still has He Ya as a protective amulet. When the child in her womb is born, this will be another lifeline for the He family!
The old woman now wants to have the best of both worlds! First, she'll use Rong Qikeng's hand to restore their family's strength. When Rong Qikeng and Rong Ling start fighting each other, she'll stay neutral. No matter who wins in the end, their family will never fall!
He Ya's mother thought deeper, after all, she was He Ya's mother. As a mother, she naturally would wholeheartedly consider her children's well-being.
"Mom, what if Rong Ling kicks her out What will happen to her then!"
When the child in your belly is born, what value will it have!
"Perhaps those things you're thinking about won't happen at all!" Old Mrs. He said softly, trying to comfort him.
But what if it happens!
"This kid isn't made of tofu. I allow him to strike back, but I won't allow him to strike back in the future. Regardless, she still has a chance!"
"So what you're saying is, we should still let the girl..."
"Well, let's stick to the original plan."
"But I'm worried…"
"You're worrying for nothing!" The old woman was feeling a bit agitated. "This is all because that girl is being stubborn! Do you really think you can persuade her at this point Just give up and forget about it!"
He Mu lowered her head, not daring to challenge He Lao Tai's authority any further. After all, she didn't want to become the second Li Yi Ping. But, she still whispered weakly, "Ai, I'm just afraid that in case, the girl won't get along well and will suffer..."
After all, no one can predict the future. What if Rong Qikeng really succeeds in seizing power Where would Rong Ling end up! The reason Rong Qikeng could be so carefree after taking office is because he has his father looking after him. But now, looking at Rong Feiwu's efforts to support Rong Qikeng, will Rong Feiwu still be able to look after Rong Ling in the future! Rong Feiwu, the old master, clearly favors his eldest son, Rong Qikeng. With Rong Lao Ye's cunning, could he possibly allow Rong Ling any chance of retaliation!
He's mother thought of this, and could Old Madam He not have
Old Mrs. He didn't answer her mother's words, but a thought in her heart remained unshakable: the overall interests of the He family came first above all else. For the sake of the family's interests, even sacrificing the younger generation was worth it. If Rong Ling was truly oppressed and ruined in the end, then He Ya's sacrifice would have to be accepted!
Next, to accommodate Ying's request, He Jia began to cooperate and move around in Kyoto. The situation of the Rong family was about to change, and this news spread quickly in secret. Old Madam He still had some face. Those families who had been wavering and refusing to give a concrete promise in front of her sickbed finally expressed their support after confirming that the Rong family intended to remove Rong Ling from power!
Because, Rong Qikeng is simply not enough to contend with. Rong Ling in this position, will inevitably suppress and weaken them, robbing them of their gains while they live in constant fear of being targeted by him. Rong Qikeng lacks the sharp intellect, long-sightedness, and aggressive nature of Rong Ling. Having such a head of the family as Rong Qikeng is like giving other influential families a chance to breathe, perhaps even allowing them to bite back at the Rong family, reclaiming some of their assets and businesses.
The situation among Kyoto's upper circles began to subtly tense.
On the other hand, Lin Meng was also busy. After the community breakthrough plan, other companies began to follow suit and entered communities, starting a price war. This imitation greatly weakened Guangda's profits. Although Guangda initially had signed agreements with homeowners of each community, meaning that within the scope of the agreement, they would not accept similar business again, other companies were willing to spend money, using various tactics to pressure and persuade community homeowners while taking on the breach of contract fees. In this regard, Guangda was helpless!
But in fact, these situations were expected by the Guangda executives long ago. After all, the imitating ability of Chinese people is world-renowned. You opened this precedent, so you can only race against time with other imitators, striving to grab a golden opportunity. Now, Guangda's home furnishing market share has stabilized, and its brand is basically established in the city. Then it can begin the next step, which is -- rural market conquest!
Don't underestimate the spending power of rural areas. Frankly, the vast expanse of rural areas is still greater than that of cities. Moreover, the income level of some urban residents is actually lower than that of rural areas. Today's countryside, apart from the basic necessities of life provided by farming, most young people leave home to work, and the money they earn keeps flowing back into the countryside!
The countryside, in fact, is a vast market. It all depends on how you discover it, from which angle you approach it, and how you ignite people's desire to consume. To this end, Guangda has set up a secret team that has been planning for nearly a month. On the other hand, Liyuan has been working overtime at the factory, also secretly producing home furnishings that cater to the tastes of rural residents.
While other home furnishing industries are still celebrating their success in entering residential communities and grabbing a small share of the market, Guangda has boldly announced its plans and marched forth with a large number of ready-made homes to the countryside!
For this kind of action that one could say is either "overreaching" or "bold and strategic," many people scoff, some watch, and others are hesitant.
Once the spokesperson for Guangda made a statement, most people gritted their teeth and followed suit. This was because the spokesperson said: “Our CEO Lin Meng firmly believes that this trip to the countryside will achieve a win-win situation for both the people and Guangda!”
Lin Meng, who is that That's Grandma! That's the God of Wealth!
She is called "Grandmother" because this woman is simply too formidable. At first, those media outlets that criticized Lin Meng dared to stand up to her. But they later discovered that no matter how they defamed or mocked her, her reputation was like the Kunpeng in Zhuangzi's *逍遙遊*, soaring through the sky, rising steadily, reaching ninety thousand miles. That popularity was beyond their control!
In order to clear their names, they widely reported on Lin Meng, but this only fueled her fire. When they later realized their mistake and wanted to retreat, it was already too late. On one hand, the hostile media outlets wouldn't let go of this opportunity to beat a fallen soldier; they wouldn't give them a chance to retreat, leaving them with no choice but to grit their teeth and bear it. On the other hand, the public had become addicted to reports about Lin Meng. If you didn't report on her, they wouldn't buy your newspapers! The profits were there, who would allow these media outlets to retreat! They have now offended this formidable woman; besides apologizing, there was no other way out. Their delay in apologizing is just them trying to hold on!
She is called the God of Wealth because everything she has ever done has attracted millions, if not billions, of wealth! Besides, recently Guangda acquired a garbage dump. It was revealed that there are rare and valuable metals buried underground. This news spread like wildfire, coupled with Guangda's statement that Lin Meng made the decision to buy the garbage dump, making many people envious and crazy!
This woman, with her golden finger, is simply enviable and hateful!
This is still not enough, the day's newspaper just came out and caused another uproar!
The chairman of the Jianghe Group, a legendary figure in the business world, directly invested 1 billion yuan in Guangda!
1 billion yuan!
$1 billion!
It's not millions, or even billions, but 10 billion!
He's not some random nobody, nor is he a nouveau riche who got hit on the head by a donkey, nor is he some wealthy aristocrat showing off their wealth. He's Jiang Changhao, the president of the Jianghe Group! The one who disregards family, only cares about money, plucks feathers from passing geese, has a sharp eye, uses cunning tactics, earns riches daily, and always wins his bets—that Jiang Changhao! The very same person who repeatedly declares that he has severed ties with his father, the former chief, saying they are enemies who will never speak again, yet constantly takes advantage of his old man, "extorting and exploiting" for personal gain, turning the company into a global powerhouse.
Since he invested in Guangda, it means Guangda can win and make a huge profit!
What was it that Jiang Changhao said in the newspaper, anyway
I am so honored that Lin has agreed to be my son's godmother. From now on, I entrust my son to her care! This 1 billion will serve as his upbringing expenses for now!
Mary's next door!
When did Lin Meng get into the eyes of Jiang Changhao, who was rumored by the outside world to be "incapable" and celibate!
Mary, next door!
When did Lin Meng become the godparent of Jiang Changhao's son!
Mary lives next door!
That Jiang Changhao isn't the type to recognize his own relatives, right When did that son of his, who was thrown into a corner and almost ignored by the outside world, become important again! And he even directly threw 1 billion as alimony! 1 billion! Mary next door, such a big hand!
Mary's next door!
Isn't it a bit too much, Lin Meng Can you please not flaunt your wealth so openly! It's just making people envious and jealous!
Mary, next door!
This is just too much! How can anyone live like this
Don't waste your time being jealous here, hurry up and follow the trendsetter! The rest of the furniture companies are scrambling to catch up with Guangda and grab a share of the pie!
Here, Lin Meng looked at the little kid who was pulling a suitcase in front of her, with a tight face, but only one meter tall. She couldn't help but laugh and cry!r. Stone Feather pointed outside and went out first.With a knowing smile, Rong Ling patted Lin Meng's shoulder and said, "I'm going out for a bit!""Where are you going" Lin Meng cried out, lifting her...
