Chapter 257 The understanding Chen Yang, it's been a long time since I've seen Qi Tongwei!
"What are you done with?"
"What's the big deal?"
"Even if your brother finds out about our relationship, so what?"
"Does calling me brother-in-law mean he's doing me a disservice?"
Zhao Ruilong didn't take it seriously and didn't think much of answering the wrong call.
I am the dignified Crown Prince of Handong, why would I be afraid of you?
"What brother-in-law? Are you crazy?"
"You may be shameless, but I still have a sense of shame!"
Chen Yang snatched the phone, glaring at it and warning:
"Don't talk!"
As soon as the call connected, Chen Yang put on a smiling face.
The speed at which he changed his expression truly amazed Zhao Ruilong.
No wonder people often say that a woman's mood changes faster than turning the pages of a book.
"Hey Xiaohai, I just went to the restroom. I left my phone on the small table. The guy in the bunk across from me thought it was his phone and answered the call. He told me about it as soon as I got back. I was just about to call you."
"What train? I just got on the train, and the conductor took my ticket and hasn't given it back yet. Oh, you don't need to come to the station to pick me up. I'll take a taxi there myself. Don't worry. I'm packing my things now. See you later."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang let out a long sigh and glared at Zhao Ruilong with a hint of resentment.
"I'm saying, as the son of a powerful and wealthy family, can't you buy a more high-end phone?"
"How can they use Nokia phones like us ordinary people? Not only are they the same model and color, but even the ringtones are the same!"
Zhao Ruilong chuckled awkwardly.
"They're all just 2G feature phones that can only make and receive calls and send and receive text messages. Is it really necessary to buy one that costs several thousand dollars?"
"Besides, Nokia phones are high-quality, have durable batteries that are drop-resistant, and can even crack walnuts, making them perfect for people like us who make a lot of phone calls."
Chen Yang immediately retorted, "Then why don't you use a PHS phone? Isn't Huilong Electronics an OEM manufacturer of PHS phones for Longxing Communications?"
"I'm using it!"
Zhao Ruilong sat up, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and shook it.
"Although PHS phones are cheap and durable, the signal is poor outside the city, so I basically only use them as a backup phone."
"Moreover, these Longxing PHS phones and Nokia brick phones are only temporary transitions for me. Once my company's self-developed 3G phones are launched, I will definitely replace them."
"What? A 3G phone?"
Chen Yang frowned, quite curious, and asked:
"Your Huilong Electronics has started developing your own mobile phones? And they're even a step above the current 2G phones?"
After charging his phone, Zhao Ruilong lit a cigarette.
"Of course we should develop it independently!"
"We can't keep providing people with outsourcing manufacturing and simple assembly plants forever, can we?"
"However, our Huilong Electronics' 3G mobile phones are not developed by our company alone, but in cooperation with many other organizations."
"Compared to current 2G feature phones, it not only has a better and more stable signal, but also has a wider variety of functions. It can play music, browse the Internet, chat on QQ, and take photos and videos."
"Don't look so surprised. With the advancement of electronic information technology, mobile phones will become more and more advanced and fun. And don't worry, I will definitely send you the highest-spec one when the time comes."
Although Chen Yang was pleased, he muttered to himself:
"No way! Your MP3 player costs nearly two thousand yuan, and a more advanced 3G phone would cost four or five thousand, or even more. If I accept it, wouldn't that be bribery?"
Zhao Ruilong raised his hand and lifted Chen Yang's chin.
Looking at this beautiful, naturally gorgeous face.
"Did I give you a cell phone to seek illicit gains?"
Chen Yang shook his head slightly.
"Since that's not the case, then I'm not guilty of bribery, and you're not suspected of accepting bribes either. What do you have to worry about?"
Chen Yang removed Zhao Ruilong's hand and said with a serious expression:
I don't want our relationship to be mixed with self-interest.
"Although in essence, I am indeed your secret lover who can be seen in the light of day."
"But if I'm only secretly being with you for personal gain, then what would that make me?"
Zhao Ruilong frowned and said, "But as my woman, shouldn't you enjoy the latest high technology from my company? I can't just give you nothing and let you take advantage of me for free, can I?"
Chen Yang smiled sweetly.
"You didn't get it for free!"
"You bought me a business class ticket back to Jingzhou?"
"This is the first time in my life I've ever flown in business class. One ticket must cost me a month's salary, right?"
"more or less!"
Zhao Ruilong took a drag of his cigarette and said irritably:
"But what's a plane ticket? Those bosses keep mistresses, and even if they don't buy cars or houses, they still give them plenty of pocket money every month."
"And since you are so obedient to me and always grant my requests, I would feel like I'm doing you a disservice if I didn't give you something in return."
Chen Yang nestled gently into Zhao Ruilong's arms and whispered:
"It's okay, I'm still enjoying being with you, aren't I?"
"I usually pretend to be aloof and serious, but only when I'm with you can I completely let loose."
"And being with you makes me feel truly relaxed and free, and I experience unparalleled joy!"
"Besides, I have a stable job and a good income, and I lack nothing. If you were to buy me a car, a house, or a large sum of money, I would find it difficult to explain."
"..."
Zhao Ruilong was stunned and speechless.
Now I understand why the ancients said that lust is like a knife hanging over one's head.
It turns out that being obsessed with beauty for a long time not only takes a toll on the body, but also ruins one's fighting spirit and leads to a fascination with pleasure.
Such a gentle, understanding, and ungreedy beauty.
Who can resist showering and doting on their children?
As Zhao Ruilong reached out to stub out his cigarette, Chen Yang pressed his hand down on his neck.
"We have a long future ahead of us, so let's not overwork ourselves now."
Those tender eyes, those thoughtful words.
Zhao Ruilong felt his heart almost melt.
however……
Before he could take the next step.
Chen Yang had already quickly gotten up and slipped away.
Zhao Ruilong originally wanted to follow him into the restroom, but then his phone suddenly rang.
This time I saw it clearly.
It was my own cell phone; it was a call from Xiao Jinhua.
After agreeing to have lunch together, Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone and rushed to the restroom.
I had only taken a few steps when my phone rang again.
"what's the situation?"
"Time is already tight, why are you still getting so many phone calls?"
Zhao Ruilong turned around and went back to get his phone.
Thinking it was her second sister Zhao Xiaohui, she asked if she wanted to come home for lunch.
Or perhaps it was Lu Yike asking herself when she would finish her business trip and return to Jingzhou.
But the caller ID showed "Zhang Xiaoxue".
"Why did this woman suddenly think of calling me?"
"Could it be that they heard I exported a batch of MP3 players to the US and now want to order more from me?"
Zhao Ruilong sat back down on the edge of the bed and answered the phone.
"Ruilong, this is Xiaoxue. Is it a convenient time for you to talk now?"
"It's convenient. Just tell me what you need."
“I heard from my dad that you’re coming to Jinghai next Tuesday to attend the founding ceremony of Huilong Energy Co., Ltd. I was wondering if you could come to Jiangcheng a day earlier, on Monday morning?”
"What? Missed me?"
Zhao Ruilong casually made a joke.
It was just a casual joke between friends, but it unexpectedly made Zhang Xiaoxue fall silent.
After waiting for several seconds without any sound, Zhao Ruilong immediately realized something was wrong.
Zhang Xiaoxue is no ordinary woman!
She's the daughter of Zhang Jingchong, the top official in Linjiang!
And she's a single female PhD!
Just as I was hesitating whether to apologize, Zhang Xiaoxue spoke up.
"I hope you'll invest in Linjiang and help my dad achieve something great, so that Linjiang Province's economy can grow rapidly!"
Zhao Ruilong felt that this "explanation" was too bureaucratic.
It was clear that Zhang Xiaoxue had thought about it for several seconds before coming up with this answer.
"Don't worry, I'll be here next week."
"But is something urgent? Why do you want me to come to Jiangcheng on Monday?"
Zhang Xiaoxue didn't beat around the bush and said directly:
"Didn't a delegation from the United States come here? My friend advised me to get in touch with them, maybe there will be an opportunity to cooperate."
"Moreover, we are about to officially join the WTO, and our domestic market of over a billion people is very attractive to Americans, who have a particularly strong desire to invest."
"But I've never done business with foreigners before. Considering that your Huilong Group can raise hundreds of billions of US dollars from abroad, you must have dealt with foreigners quite a bit."
"So I'd like you to come to Jiangcheng a day early to give me some advice and avoid getting ripped off without even realizing it. What do you think? If you agree, I'll arrange your flight and accommodation."
Zhao Ruilong smiled coldly.
Zhang Xiaoxue really thinks she's a business genius.
Little did they know, this guy could bring money back to China without having to deal with foreigners, all thanks to his own abilities.
But since they'd already gone this far, I had no reason to refuse.
Does that mean we should openly admit that our money wasn't invested willingly by foreigners?
"Of course you can, but let me be clear from the start, I'm only offering suggestions, just take them as a reference."
Zhang Xiaoxue laughed and said, "Don't worry, even if the cooperation fails and we lose everything, I won't blame you!"
"That's not the case. Don't you know? In our Dragon Country, as long as the connections are strong enough, business can definitely make money. It's just a matter of how much. If it's just about connecting people, then it's even more guaranteed to make money."
"There's no such thing as a sure-fire deal. Even if it's just a matchmaker, there are still certain risks and responsibilities involved! That's why I thought of asking you to come to Jiangcheng to be my strategist and advisor. Better safe than sorry!"
“Okay, I will do my best to help. But you don’t need to book the tickets. We originally planned to fly directly to Jinghai on Monday night. I will have someone change the tickets to fly to Jiangcheng on Monday morning.”
"Okay, after you've rebooked, give me your flight number and I'll pick you up at the airport."
Okay, see you Monday.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong immediately called his secretary, Qin Shuang.
Then he had the hotel manager deliver 50,000 yuan in cash and a lavish lunch to his room.
However, after making some arrangements, he rushed to the restroom and found that Chen Yang had already changed his clothes and come out.
"Are you so fast?"
"Just taking a shower."
"No, rinse me again!"
"Ugh, do you think I'm your servant?"
"Is it not allowed?"
……
ten minutes later.
Zhao Ruilong went downstairs to the banquet feeling refreshed.
Chen Yang ate the lunch that was delivered to his room before quietly leaving.
In a taxi.
Chen Yang instinctively clutched his handbag tighter.
Although she repeatedly declined, Zhao Ruilong insisted on giving it to her.
She said it wasn't for herself, but for her to take home as a wedding gift for her younger brother, Chen Hai.
Although their relationship cannot be made public, Chen Hai is essentially Zhao Ruilong's brother-in-law.
When your brother-in-law gets married, how can you, as his brother-in-law, not show any appreciation?
Moreover, 50,000 yuan is a considerable sum of money for ordinary people.
But for Zhao Ruilong, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
In addition, Zhao Ruilong had even come up with a reason for Chen Yang.
When your younger brother gets married, how can the eldest sister not give a generous gift?
A red envelope of 50,000 yuan is a bit too much.
But after graduating, Chen Yang was assigned to work in Yanjing for many years. How could he not have even this much savings?
With this 50,000 yuan, Chen Hai and his wife could scrape together a little more and buy a commercial apartment on a mortgage, so they wouldn't have to live in the old dormitory building owned by their work unit anymore.
Anyway, Chen Hai works at the Supreme People's Procuratorate in Handong and has a considerable amount of housing provident fund. He won't have any repayment pressure if he buys a house using a provident fund loan.
Chen Yang knew, of course, how terrible the living conditions were in those decades-old tenement buildings.
For the sake of my younger brother's happiness after marriage, we do need to buy a bigger and better apartment.
I can no longer count on my father, Chen Yanshi, and mother, Wang Fuzhen, in this lifetime.
They are notoriously stubborn.
Back then, my father, Chen Yanshi, had not yet retired; he was still the deputy chief prosecutor.
He doesn't consider his own happiness at all.
Zhong Zhengguo could help Hou Liangping transfer to Yanjing so he could reunite with Zhong Xiaoai, but he refused to help Qi Tongwei get a job transfer.
It's one thing if they don't love their own daughter.
What Chen Yang couldn't understand the most was that the two of them didn't even care about their son.
The elderly couple quietly sold their house and donated it, then used their own pension money to move to a nursing home.
To be stuck with parents who don't treat their children like their own is terrible.
What else could Chen Yang say?
Since Zhao Ruilong is willing to lend a hand, he doesn't expect anything in return.
What else can Chen Yang say?
Chen Yang gripped his bag tightly, his heart pounding wildly.
I'm not worried about being robbed by a taxi driver in broad daylight.
Instead, he felt as if he had become corrupt and degenerate, having actually accepted such a large sum of money.
"Wait, why am I nervous?"
“This was a gift from Zhao Ruilong. We did not seek any improper benefits, so neither of us has committed a crime.”
"Even if I get caught, I can easily explain myself, so... what do I have to be afraid of?"
Not long after.
The taxi arrived at the Supreme People's Procuratorate Family Compound in Handong.
As soon as I got out of the car, the gatekeeper greeted me warmly.
Braving the scorching sun, I hurried into the old apartment building.
Climb the stairs and arrive at the seventh floor.
A large red "double happiness" character was pasted on the tightly closed door.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and a moment later the door was quickly pushed open from the inside.
Fortunately, Chen Yang reacted quickly and took a step back.
Otherwise, they would definitely be hit squarely.
Wow, Sister Yang!
Lu Yike exclaimed in surprise, unable to hide her joy.
"You're finally back! Come on in! We're decorating the bridal chamber with balloons!"
Chen Yang looked at Lu Yike, who still disliked wearing makeup and preferred to wear a ponytail, and said in an annoyed tone:
"When are you going to change your carefree personality? Open the door a little slower, why did you shove it out like that? If I hadn't backed away quickly enough, I would have had a bloody nose!"
Lu Yike was taken aback for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just too excited! I'll be more careful next time!"
Chen Yang gave a soft "hmm" and stepped into the house.
The familiar one-bedroom apartment is not only cramped and small, but it also doesn't have air conditioning.
The ceiling fan in the living room was whirring loudly.
Lu Yike and several colleagues from the Anti-Corruption Bureau had already inflated quite a few red balloons.
My gaze swept across the bedroom with the door open, where the pillows, sheets, and duvet covers had all been changed to a festive bright red.
Where is my brother?
"He went with your parents to the old guesthouse across the street to greet guests!"
After putting down his bag, Chen Yang found a small plastic stool and sat down.
"Where's your boyfriend? Is he coming tomorrow?"
“He’s on a business trip in Tianjin, I didn’t tell him.”
Lu Yike casually replied.
Chen Yang cursed inwardly, "Zhao Ruilong, you're such a scumbag!"
Even though he had already returned to Jingzhou, he didn't tell Lu Yike.
However, Lu Yike also didn't tell Zhao Ruilong about the wedding banquet.
You two are really quite free-spirited and undisciplined, with absolutely no sense of restraint between each other.
Since that's the case, why should I say anything more?
With his sleeves rolled up, Chen Yang began helping to decorate the wedding room.
Just as I was busy with something, the door opened.
Qi Tongwei walked in carrying a lot of things.
"Xiao Hai, I'll put your things away for you..."
"Hey, Chen... Chen Yang, long time no see!"
Qi Tongwei's smile looked awkward.
Chen Yang hesitated for less than two seconds before smiling calmly.
"long time no see!"
