Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 274 The Dragon Arrives in Beijing! 1. All Fears Stem from Insufficient Firepower!

Beijing, early morning.

Su Changli walked briskly to the small garden as the sun rose.

Mr. Shen, dressed in his martial arts uniform, was practicing Tai Chi at a leisurely pace.

As is customary, Su Changli first gave a quick briefing on some important news events that had occurred at home and abroad in the past 24 hours, and then reminded everyone of today's work arrangements.

The most important event recently is undoubtedly tonight, when the International Olympic Committee will broadcast live globally and decide, through electronic voting, which city will win the right to host the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Ten years ago, China decided to bid for the Olympic Games.

The whole nation is eagerly anticipating this moment, with countless people looking forward to it.

However, eight years ago, Yanjing, the capital of China, unfortunately failed to be elected by two votes.

now.

The bidding team made more preparations, and countless well-known figures in the sports world also rallied to support Yanjing.

Compared to eight years ago, China, which has continued to open up to the outside world, has become much stronger in terms of overall national strength. In addition, it is about to officially join the WTO and be fully integrated into the international trade system.

So this time, everyone is full of confidence.

Even President Shen is planning to stay up late tonight to watch the live stream.

"Any thing else?"

Seeing that Su Changli did not leave after finishing his report, President Shen asked with some surprise.

"And one more thing."

Su Changli looked around before stepping forward.

"Zhao Ruilong was robbed at knifepoint on Xinshikou Pedestrian Street in Jingzhou the night before last, but fortunately he reacted quickly and was agile enough to avoid injury and successfully subdue the two robbers."

President Shen was taken aback.

"Zhao Ruilong? Robbed at knifepoint in Dongjing Prefecture of Han Dynasty?"

Su Changli gave an awkward smile.

"When I received the news, I didn't quite believe it either."

"The economy of Handong continues to develop rapidly, and the public security situation is getting better and better."

"It's already strange enough that a robbery would happen in Jingzhou, the provincial capital of Handong, on a busy commercial pedestrian street."

"Unexpectedly, the person robbed was Zhao Ruilong, and after extensive investigation, I confirmed that he had indeed been robbed."

Mr. Shen instantly lost interest in continuing his morning exercise, put his hands on his hips, and asked:

"Is it really just a simple robbery?"

Su Changli knew, of course, what President Shen was worried about.

Zhao Ruilong is extremely important.

Regardless of how many major projects Huilong Group has invested in, how much high-tech research and development it has participated in, and how important it is to industrial upgrading and economic development.

He has been bringing in a steady stream of foreign exchange for the country, amounting to over 200 billion US dollars to date, which has greatly increased China's foreign exchange reserves.

Based on this alone, this living god of wealth and money-making expert must not be allowed to get into trouble.

President Shen must be worried that certain forces are envious and jealous, and are trying to get rid of Zhao Ruilong in order to hinder Zhao Lichun's progress, or even the rise of China.

"Based on the witness testimonies and physical evidence currently available to the police, as well as the statements provided by the two robbers, it was indeed a robbery that occurred on short notice."

"Before the incident, Zhao Ruilong took out 10,000 yuan in cash from his backpack and lent it to Zhong Xiaoai. At that time, he was spotted by a robber who was looking for a target on the street."

President Shen gave a cold smile.

"Lend ten thousand yuan to Zhong Xiaoai? Why?"

"While they were out shopping, they ran into Cai Chenggong's father, Cai Xiaolin. Cai Xiaolin was selling pancakes at a mobile stall to make a living, and he was caught and fined..."

Su Changli quickly reported the situation.

President Shen was naturally aware of the conflict between the Zhao and Zhong families.

He also knew that after Zhong Xiaoai's business failed, she switched to working for Zhao Ruilong and was now a public relations manager.

As for whether Zhao Ruilong did this out of generosity or with ulterior motives, President Shen didn't care.

"Although it was just an isolated robbery, it fully exposed that our protection of him was inadequate!"

"Summon Xiao Guo over here in a moment. The Secret Service must formulate a plan as soon as possible to protect him meticulously!"

"Otherwise, if something happens to this kid, we'll suffer a huge loss. I'm counting on him to keep his promise and make us a manufacturing powerhouse before the 08 Olympics!"

"He's now both giving advice and investing heavily in those fields like semiconductors, new energy, new materials, large aircraft, high-speed rail, medical devices, network communications, and precision manufacturing. They can't function without him!"

At this point, President Shen immediately added:

"To be honest, I haven't seen him for almost two months."

"This kid has a unique way of thinking, a forward-looking vision, and he dares to think and act. He always has some ingenious ideas that broaden my horizons."

"Just as many people mistakenly believe that money is wealth, he believes that true wealth lies in the organic linkage between R&D, production, and service personnel, equipment, and enterprises through the market economy, which continuously generates creativity and productivity!"

"After you inform Director Guo, contact Zhao Ruilong and ask if he has time to come to Yanjing today. I want to watch the Olympic bid live with him tonight, and also have a good chat with him before my visit to Ross!"

"..."

Su Changli looked astonished.

With your status, Mr. Shen, wouldn't it be easy for you to meet Zhao Ruilong?

One phone call and he'll be there in no time.

If you want to go fast enough, you can even have the Air Force send out special planes.

I never expected that President Shen would actually ask me to first inquire whether Zhao Ruilong had time.

Who is actually meeting whom?

However, being the secretary-general, he was certainly quick-witted.

Having deeply realized Zhao Ruilong's important position in President Shen's heart, he immediately expressed his opinion:

"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

……

Jingzhou.

Zhao Ruilong, who was fast asleep, was woken up by his cell phone ringing.

She peeled away Lu Yike's octopus-like entanglement.

I picked up my phone and glanced at the caller ID; my spirits immediately lifted.

The news brought by Su Changli made Zhao Ruilong even more excited.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Ruilong immediately asked someone to buy plane tickets, hoping to meet with President Shen by noon.

Two consecutive phone calls naturally woke Lu Yike up.

She lazily and slowly propped herself up, complaining with a displeased expression:

"You've only been back for two days, why are you going on another business trip?"

"President Shen wants to meet with me before his visit to Ross tomorrow. Do you think I can refuse?"

Zhao Ruilong's question immediately silenced Lu Yike.

"Then you should hurry up and go, but the plane tickets haven't been booked yet, what's the rush?"

Looking into Lu Yike's affectionate eyes.

Zhao Ruilong's eyes widened.

"What's with that expression? Aren't you satisfied yet?"

“From the night before last until now, you haven’t let me leave the house or go to work. We’ve even been eating in this house…”

Lu Yike smiled charmingly.

"You're often away on business trips, so if I don't seize the opportunity during ovulation, when will I ever get pregnant?"

"You have no idea, we've been together for so long and I still haven't gotten pregnant. My parents are really worried."

Zhao Ruilong said with a wry smile, "I had no choice. I've been so busy with work, and I've been working hard enough these past two days, haven't I? Even a donkey in the production team should at least be allowed to rest!"

Lu Yike smiled slightly.

"My dad said that to improve the hit rate in war, you need massive firepower coverage! What's wrong? Are you scared? Weren't you always so impressive before? And now you've fallen silent after less than two days?"

Zhao Ruilong rolled his eyes.

"The time frame is less than two days, but how many times?"

Lu Yike chuckled.

"Sure enough, all the fear stems from insufficient firepower!"

"you!!"

Zhao Ruilong raised his hand and angrily pointed at Lu Yike.

"What am I?"

Patting his chest, Lu Yike gave the order:

"What are you still doing?"

"You're not allowed to leave until the mission is completed!"

"Hurry up, come here, lie down!!"

……

Jingzhou International Airport.

Zhao Ruilong quickly got out of the taxi.

I grabbed my backpack and walked quickly inside, feeling a bit sore in my lower back and knees.

I couldn't help but recall my time before I traveled back to the past, when I was in middle school and would sneak out at night to go online and play games.

The feeling right now is very similar to spending an entire night in an internet cafe.

Feeling groggy and a bit listless, I really want to get some sleep.

But in order not to miss his flight, Zhao Ruilong forced himself to stay alert and quickly walked into the terminal.

"President Zhao!!"

A clear shout rang out.

Zhao Ruilong looked up and saw Qin Shuang, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, standing gracefully and elegantly, carrying a bag and walking briskly towards him with a bright smile.

Judging from her overjoyed and radiant appearance, she seemed to have met her long-lost lover, not at all like a female secretary waiting for her boss.

"You...why are you here?"

Zhao Ruilong asked, somewhat surprised.

Qin Shuang was stunned in surprise.

"Didn't you say you had urgent business in Yanjing and told me to book a plane ticket right away?"

Zhao Ruilong was embarrassed and speechless.

I forgot to tell Qin Shuang that I only needed to book a plane ticket for myself.

This wasn't a business trip; it was a visit to see General Manager Shen.

Even if she brought Qin Shuang along, she wouldn't be entitled to accompany her the whole time.

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, didn't you bring a suit?"

Why bring a suit?

"Didn't Chairman Xiao say he invited us to attend the CCTV live broadcast gala on the Olympic bid tonight? I think there will be many political and business figures, movie stars, and sports champions attending, so we should dress quite formally, right?"

"What? A live broadcast of a gala? When did he tell you that?"

Seeing Zhao Ruilong's astonished expression, Qin Shuang immediately realized something was wrong.

Clearly, the two were talking about completely different things.

"He just called me and you told me to buy a plane ticket right away. I thought you knew!"

Zhao Ruilong sighed, "He didn't call me, and I'm not in a hurry to go to Yanjing because of this."

"Moreover, he is the recognized richest man in China, a well-known entrepreneur and financial investment genius. He needs to attend various galas to increase his visibility, but I am different."

"Given my special background, I try my best to stay out of the public eye and do things that benefit the country and the people, as well as my father's advancement and the prosperity of our family."

Qin Shuang bit her red lips lightly and lowered her head with some guilt.

"I'm sorry, I should have explained things clearly to you over the phone."

"It's alright, it's my fault, I didn't explain things to you clearly!"

Seeing Qin Shuang bowing her head in shame, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness in his heart.

"Okay, I really didn't mean to blame you, and it's not a big deal."

"Since he invited you, you've already bought your plane ticket, and you've probably brought your evening gown, then go for it!"

"This is a rare opportunity to broaden your horizons, increase your knowledge, and even expand your network, so go for it!"

Qin Shuang hurriedly looked up.

"And what about you? Why are you in such a hurry to go to Yanjing?"
