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

Chapter 105 Helping Brother Ruilong, I, Fu Wenbing, must stand up for myself!

early morning.

Fu Wenbing opened his eyes.

I discovered I wasn't lying in my own bed.

He hurriedly got up and found that he was fully clothed and there was no strange woman beside him.

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt at ease.

He was not even forty years old yet, but he was already the general manager of Tianhai Huahong Microelectronics.

At such a young age, he has already reached the department-level position, with a bright future ahead of him, so naturally, he cannot afford to make any mistakes.

A strong urge to urinate struck.

Fu Wenbing rolled out of bed and headed straight for the bathroom.

After the intense release, I noticed the bath towels on the shelf, which turned out to be from the Peace Hotel.

"Looks like Ruilong booked me a room after I blacked out last night!"

Now, Fu Wenbing was completely relieved.

However, when he finished washing up and walked out of the bedroom, he was immediately dumbfounded.

Zhao Ruilong was seen doing push-ups on the living room carpet.

I don't know how many he made.

Anyway, I was already drenched in sweat.

His muscles were clearly defined, and his strong body looked as if it had been coated with oil, making him look particularly masculine.

"I was just as fit and strong ten years ago!"

"Unfortunately, time is a cruel mistress, and I..."

Fu Wenbing glanced down at his noticeably protruding belly.

He secretly made up his mind that he should also start training and not become a greasy old man.

"It's only a few minutes before seven o'clock, why are you awake?"

Sweating profusely, Zhao Ruilong asked with a smile.

Fu Wenbing squatted down and asked in return:

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

"And last night you carried me back to bed while you slept on the sofa?"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled awkwardly.

"Otherwise what? Do you think I want to share a bed with you?"

Fu Wenbing smiled and shook his head.

"Of course not, but why don't you book another room?"

"There's no need. It's not like you can't sleep in the living room."

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong stopped doing push-ups and started doing sit-ups.

Fu Wenbing nodded slightly.

“Save where you can, spend where you can.”

"You've made me look at you in a completely new light, you're the Crown Prince of Handong!"

Zhao Ruilong sneered, "When you're spending your own money, of course you should save as much as possible!"

"Too!"

Fu Wenbing said with a smile:

"I've heard you've been investing like crazy, spending money like water, yet Huilong Internet Cafe chain was shut down for rectification. You should really be more careful with your spending!"

"In that case, the meal and room expenses from last night are on me. Consider it my way of showing hospitality!"

Zhao Ruilong sat up, and said with a look of disdain:

"If you had said that earlier, why the hell would I still be sleeping in the living room?"

Fu Wenbing chuckled, "Hey, we should save money wherever we can! Hey, why aren't you exercising anymore?"

"We're all starving to death, what's the point of exercising?"

Zhao Ruilong opened his suitcase, rummaged through it to find a change of clothes, and quickly went to the bathroom to shower and wash up.

"This young man is quite interesting!"

"Who else would dare to swear in front of me?"

Fu Wenbing sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and placed them on the coffee table.

He was able to rise to the level of a department director at a young age.

Besides their own abilities, their distinguished family background is also indispensable.

It is precisely because of his high position and strong family background.

Therefore, they are often flattered and fawned over.

Only with Zhao Ruilong would he be completely uninhibited towards him.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

When Fu Wenbing was bored, he thought of his brother who was in trouble, so how could he not lend a hand?

He took out his phone and called his father in Yanjing.

"Hey Dad, have you eaten yet? I just woke up. I had a few too many drinks with Ruilong last night."

“With his investment in Huahong Microelectronics, you don’t need to rush to transfer me away. I believe we will definitely be able to turn a profit and achieve great things soon.”

"How long will the internet cafe industry need to be regulated? Wouldn't it be enough to just shut down those illegal internet cafes? Why should legitimate and compliant Huilong chain internet cafes be forced to suspend operations for rectification?"

"Do you know that this shutdown and rectification not only results in a lot of money losses every day, but also directly impacts the electronics and information industry by halting the development of the internet cafe industry? It's like it's affecting me too!"

"If there are no problems, just open up the market as soon as possible. We should resolutely crack down on illegal internet cafes. Legal and compliant internet cafes should resume operations as soon as possible. This way, the number of computers installed can increase, and my chips can sell better!"

After listening to the phone call for a while, Fu Wenbing suddenly became furious.

"Who does Zhong Zhengguo think he is?"

"What did he do during those five years in Handong?"

"If it weren't for his pedantry, conservatism, and various forms of opposition, Handong's economy would have reached a new level long ago."

"Moreover, during the years he was in charge, many mining accidents in Lincheng were covered up. So many people died, but he wasn't held responsible. Shouldn't he have kept a low profile?"

"Alright, alright. The internet cafe industry won't harm the country or its people. We absolutely can't just ban it outright because illegal internet cafes are quite harmful. Does that mean people will stop eating if they eat too much?"

"Besides, Zhong Zhengguo works in discipline inspection and supervision. What gives him the right to interfere in the internet cafe industry? Who does he think he is? Even if it's an illegal internet cafe, it's not something he has the authority to manage, is it?"

After venting his anger, Fu Wenbing immediately hung up the phone.

Regardless of whether his earlier rant might have angered the old man.

Just as I was about to find a cigarette, Zhao Ruilong came out.

"Let's go downstairs and have breakfast."

"I just called my dad."

"I heard some of it, thanks!"

"No need to thank me. You help me, I help you, we're all brothers."

Fu Wenbing picked up his phone, stood up, and said sincerely:

"To be honest, if you hadn't bought the shares that Sakura was selling off in time and injected capital into the company, my dad would definitely have transferred me."

"Otherwise, if the country invests tens of billions of yuan but continues to lose money, I'll be burdened with this huge stigma, and it will be difficult for me to advance in the future!"

Zhao Ruilong glanced at him coldly.

"You're already a department-level official before you're even forty? You still want to advance? Do you want to fly to the moon?"

Fu Wenbing laughed heartily.

"If I could fly to the heavens, I'd definitely get you a ministerial position!"

"What department?"

"Space Ministry, from now on, the entire cause of interstellar migration will be entrusted to you!"

"What interstellar migration? Can't you be realistic for once?"

"You were the one who started this! With my abilities, going to heaven? I'd be better off going to my grave!"

"Whose grave are you visiting? You think I won't call your dad right now and see how he deals with you!"

"No, no, no! I just confronted him. Don't make him so angry. I'm counting on him to stay on for a few more years!"

……

The two chatted and laughed as they went downstairs to the restaurant.

Faced with a dazzling array of delicious food, the two naturally didn't hold back.

I found a seat where I could see the TV and sat down.

The two stopped bickering and started eating while watching the morning news.

"Next, let's focus on a breaking news item."

"Recently, the fact that Jingzhou Dafeng Garment Group of Handong Province has won bids in Linjiang Province has aroused widespread discussion."

"Our financial channel's economic observation program conducted an in-depth investigation and found that the company not only had poor revenue, but was also suspected of false advertising..."

Soon, footage appeared on television of reporters interviewing passersby on the street.

Zhao Ruilong lost interest in watching.

I have no interest in watching videos that I had filmed and edited myself.

As for why the central power grid is so proactive?

Of course, it's because Huilong Group signed an advertising contract with them.

Zhao Ruilong plans to spend a huge sum of 50 million yuan to shoot and distribute advertisements for MP3 music players.

Let's give it a good boost of publicity before Valentine's Day arrives.

Although the Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) hasn't arrived yet, the advertisement is still being filmed.

The relevant patents and production licenses have just been obtained, and the factory is preparing to start production and stock up on goods.

But this hefty advertising contract has already proven effective.

The central power company is really afraid that Dafeng Factory won't be completely destroyed.

Last night, the financial channel broadcast the economic observation program.

Today, CCTV-1, which has even higher viewership, is broadcasting it again in the morning news.

They might broadcast it again on the midday news and send someone to Linjiang Province to continue following up with reports.

but……

Zhao Ruilong wasn't interested, but Fu Wenbing was different.

After reading the news, he looked down and asked with a smile:

"Despite having little real strength, how come they've managed to win bids across provinces one after another? Do you know who's behind Dafeng Apparel Group?"

"do not know."

"Bullshit! You're the Crown Prince of Handong. Is there anything in Handong that you don't know?"

"What kind of prince am I? Have you ever seen a prince who spent seven years in prison and was only released last year?"

"Isn't it because your dad hasn't taken power yet, and Zhong Zhengguo and Liang Qunfeng are keeping a close eye on him? Otherwise, you would have been released long ago!"

At this point, Fu Wenbing suddenly smiled.

"However, this company has won bids in Linjiang Province one after another, so it seems they have some powerful connections there!"

Zhao Ruilong rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up and eat! Even if you guess who that expert is, so what?"

"For something this trivial, there are plenty of people willing to take the blame; it won't hurt him in the slightest!"

Fu Wenbing gave an awkward smile.

"That's true. Taking down a master is no easy task."

"But then again, even after this man surnamed Zhong was transferred to Yanjing, he still didn't settle down and continued to oppose your Zhao family father and son."

"I heard that this crackdown on the internet cafe industry was orchestrated by Zhong Zhengguo behind the scenes. He's a discipline inspection official, yet he's stirring up trouble and cracking down on internet cafes. It's like a dog catching a mouse—meddling in other people's business!"

Zhao Ruilong looked up at Fu Wenbing.

"You don't like him either?"

Fu Wenbing looked around.

"I just don't like Old Ge, who was the one who promoted him!"

"The old man is almost halfway to the grave, and he still can't stop making a fuss."

"Instead of focusing on developing the economy, they're incredibly eager to fight for power and profit. It's fucking disgusting!"

Zhao Ruilong was stunned.

It seems that Fu Wenbing truly considers him a brother!

Otherwise, how could he have uttered such 'treasonous' words?

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat."

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to Tianhai Aircraft Design Institute this morning?"

"Eat quickly, and I'll go with you. It's been a long time since I've seen Dean Qiu."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "What's the rush? My sister hasn't gotten up yet. Let's eat slowly, no rush."

Fu Wenbing muttered to himself as he ate:

"Everyone knows that as our economy continues to develop, the civil aviation market will become larger and larger, and the demand for aircraft will also increase."

"We always spend money to buy from abroad. Not only are they expensive and the maintenance costs are not cheap, but we are also at the mercy of others. If something goes wrong, we have to rely on others to analyze the situation."

"But some people say that developing a large aircraft is too expensive, costing hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars. Who can afford that? What if it fails like the Y-10 back then?"

Zhao Ruilong countered, "Building high-speed rail is also very expensive, but it still got started, didn't it? This proves that as long as there are good investment projects, there are plenty of people willing to invest."

"If we want to become an industrial powerhouse, we will have to develop large aircraft sooner or later. Why not start sooner? Using lack of funds as an excuse, I think it's because we've taken bribes from foreigners, which is why we keep saying it's better to buy than to build!"

Fu Wenbing put down his chopsticks and gripped Zhao Ruilong's hand tightly.

"Brother, those words are really harsh; they really hit the nail on the head."

"Go ahead and do it boldly! I strongly support restarting the large aircraft project!"

"If anyone dares to object, I'll curse them out without you even lifting a finger!"
