Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 132: New Year's gift from Rong Nianqing (6k subscription required)

After greeting Xiao Nali, Lu Yao walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down opposite this mysterious woman.

He also took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the night view of Shangnan during the New Year's Eve.

The two people sitting in front of the window didn't say anything, just like starving a hawk. Whoever couldn't stand it first would lose the initiative.

By the time Lu Yao had almost smoked half of the cigarette in his hand, the woman opposite him had finished her cigarette, so the woman leaned forward and put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the small coffee table.

It was at this time that the woman laughed and said, "Boss Lu really doesn't give in to me at all."

As she spoke, the woman opposite her tilted her head slightly, with a teasing look in her eyes.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "The main thing is that I can't tell what you, Boss Lin, are trying to do. After we met last time, I asked someone about it. Guess what I found out?"

The woman who appeared in Xiao Nali's house was none other than the NFA boss who was introduced by Xiao Nali.

Lin Yongzhen.

This woman is very beautiful, tall, pretty, and has a very mysterious temperament.

When a womanizer like Lu Yao sees this kind of woman, his first feeling is not the desire to possess her, but rather wariness and even a little fear.

The more colorful the flowers in the rainforest, the more dangerous they are.

The same principle applies to humans.

In human society, no matter how beautiful a person is, there is actually a limit. What really creates a watershed in charm is temperament. A woman like boss Lin Yongzhen, who has both outstanding appearance and temperament, can still open such an awesome bar on Zhongshan Road.

You can tell with your toes that this woman is extraordinary.

Lu Yao always kept his distance from such women.

That's why he rejected the partnership conditions offered by boss Lin Yongzhen last time.

Now that he is deeply bound to Rong Nianqing, there is no need for him to be involved in other events.

But this time, after Lu Yao saw the flaw in the picture sent by Xiao Nali, he still came, because Lu Yao thought of what happened when he put pressure on the center of Shangnan City before.

Lu Yao was really driven into a corner by Tao Siyu that time. This kind of operation of directly using connections to suppress you is really unreasonable. Many of the richest people in the country were overwhelmed by this move and could only swallow the bitter pill themselves.

So he really intended to fight to the death.

Causing a stampede would be his last struggle, and after that he would probably go overseas with Rong Nianqing and the others.

But before Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing took action, an extremely vicious group fight broke out on Zhongshan Road, which is adjacent to Xinjie Road. At that time, Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing both thought that it was the other side who started the fight, but after a phone call they found out that it was not them who started the fight.

Who is helping them then?
Lu Yao thought it might be Zhu Junyan or Jian Xiaojie, but based on Lu Yao's subsequent hints, both of them were ruled out.

At this moment, a possible answer jumped into Lu Yao's mind.

Tonight, Lu Yao's guess from the past few days was confirmed in the pictures sent by Xiao Nali. The person who secretly helped him was none other than boss Lin Yongzhen, whom he had met once.

This made Lu Yao a little nervous.

As the old saying goes, "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I am afraid of thieves thinking about it." An outsider like Lin Yongzhen can see through the fight between Rong Nianqing and Tao Siyu, and then help Lu Yao in the right way at the right time, which shows that the other party's ability and mind are very strong.

She can help you at the critical moment, but she can also trick you at the critical moment.

So the help last time was not only out of kindness, but also a deterrent.

Facing the question from Lu Yao, Lin Yongzhen chuckled and said, "I guess you didn't find anything. Even the person corresponding to my name is different."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Yes, Boss Lin is very mysterious."

Lin Yongzhen also laughed and said, "Boss Lu, there's no need to be so defensive. I have no ill intentions. Of course, whether or not you have ill intentions is not something you can tell with your mouth."

As she said this, she turned around and took out a document bag from her bag and handed it to Lu Yao: "The things inside are my token of loyalty."

Lu Yao took it and took a look.

He took out the file bag and just looked at the contents on the top A4 paper. He felt as if the A4 paper suddenly turned into a dazzling incandescent light, which made it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"hiss--"

Lu Yao took a deep breath.

He put the documents back into the bag and looked at the other side with complicated eyes: "Boss Lin is really powerful. So what do you want?"

Lin Yongzhen said, "Of course I want a way out. I hope you can lend me a hand when necessary and give me a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I have some money, connections, and a smart brain. Boss Lu can use these anytime he wants."

"If Mr. Lu is interested in my broken body, please feel free to do so."

Lu Yao was silenced by Boss Lin's honesty and directness.

But what made Lu Yao even more silent was the prediction of the future expressed in the other party's words and deeds. She seemed to have determined that the people behind Rong Nianqing would definitely win, so she wanted to get ashore through Lu Yao.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Lu Yao gave an affirmative answer: "Based on this thing you gave me, I promise you."

Lin Yongzhen finally showed a genuine smile: "Boss Lu is straightforward."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the dining table, opened a bottle of Romanee-Conti 1990 and poured it into a glass. Then she walked towards Lu Yao with a glass in each hand and said, "It's the end of the year, so I wish us all the best in the coming year."

Lu Yao took the glass and clinked it with hers: "Everything goes well."

After clinking glasses, Lin Yongzhen did not leave. Instead, she started to get busy with Xiao Nali, and then had dinner with Lu Yao at Xiao Nali's house.

While eating, Lu Yao sent a message to Rong Nianqing: "Where are you?"

Rong Nianqing quickly replied: "In Xicheng, preparing for the New Year with my family."

Lu Yao: "Go back to Shangnan, don't be too ostentatious, come here in person."

Rong Nianqing, who was far away in Xicheng, was chatting with her elders at home when she saw this message. Normally, she should not leave at this time.

But seeing that Lu Yao actually said this, Rong Nianqing immediately apologized to the elders present and left, then called the housekeeper and driver, followed the housekeeper's car and quietly left to Shangnan.

Lu Yao had a very happy dinner at Xiao Nali's house.

The ingredients that Xiao Nali uses for hot pot are of extremely good quality and fresh; some of them are even airlifted back from abroad that same day.

Lin Yongzhen has a gentle and mysterious temperament. She speaks in a gentle and pleasant voice, and even has a unique charm that makes people unconsciously attracted by her tone, expression, and even eyes when she speaks.

The way she looks at you seems to make you feel like the most special man in the world.

This is probably the power of a woman who is naturally extremely charming.

If a woman of this level does not have a strong family background, her life is often rough. No wonder she calls herself a "fallen flower."

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Yongzhen propped up her chin with one hand and smiled tenderly, "Boss Lu has a good alcohol tolerance. It seems that he doesn't plan to get drunk here tonight."

When she said this, her eyes were as bright as the Milky Way in the sky. Even an old hand who had been in the flower world for a long time could not resist her twinkling eyes. However, Lu Yao's mood was not here at all, he was only on that file bag.

After dinner, Lu Yao lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "We can't stop drinking and talking, but we still have a lot of time."

"That's all for today. We'll get together again when we have a chance."

Lin Yongzhen watched Lu Yao stand up, pick up his coat and put the document bag into his arms, and couldn't help but look up and smile: "Don't you need me to take you there?"

"Need not."

Lu Yao got dressed and walked towards the door.

Xiao Nali and Lin Yongzhen also stood up and walked him to the door.

Xiao Nali said with concern: "Be careful on the road."

Lin Yongzhen smiled behind Xiao Nali and said, "You can always find me in the future. Just notify Nali directly."

Lu Yao pushed open the door, and the cold outside instantly rushed in like a ghost, wrapping the hem of Lu Yao's coat. He stood at the door and turned back and smiled, "Okay."

After leaving Xiao Nali's house, Lu Yao went downstairs and got into the car, heading towards the place where he and Rong Nianqing had agreed to meet.

……

Shangnan city center, Lakeside Park.

This is the place where Lu Yao and Rong Nianqing had agreed to meet. It was a cold night, and there wasn't much nightlife in Shangnan City. There weren't many people in the lakeside park at this time.

Lu Yao parked the car at the edge of the park and took out his phone to send a message to Rong Nianqing: "Where are you?"

Rong Nianqing replied immediately: "More than ten minutes."

While Lu Yao was anxiously waiting, Rong Nianqing finally arrived in the housekeeper's usual car. Without waiting for the other party to stop, Lu Yao called Rong Nianqing: "No need to get out of the car, I'll come over."

After the other party stopped the car and turned off the engine, he walked over with the document bag in his arms.

Opening the back door, Lu Yao sat next to Rong Nianqing.

Rong Nianqing asked at this time: "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious on New Year's Day?"

Lu Yao took the file bag out of his arms: "Look for yourself."

Rong Nianqing reached out and took the file bag handed to her by Lu Yao. It still had Lu Yao's body temperature on it. She opened the file bag and only read the first page before her pupils shrank sharply.

Then she looked through all the documents. The more she looked, the more frightened she became. At the end, she even found a USB flash drive inside.

Rong Nianqing's expression now was the same as when Lu Yao first received the file bag. After reading it, he also took a deep breath.

She asked, "Who gave this to you?"

Lu Yao had no intention of exposing Lin Yongzhen's name. It was meaningless and even harmful to dig deeper into Lin Yongzhen.

He said: "It doesn't matter. The person who gave me this file bag wanted to use it to buy a way out."

Rong Nianqing understood: "Of course there is no problem with this."

With this thing in hand, their actions against Shangnan will be accelerated, and their control over Shangnan will be more proactive. Perhaps, as Lu Yao said, they don't need to pay attention to the bet with the center of Shangnan City at all.

Perhaps many things will be settled within this year.

Rong Nianqing said with emotion: "You really gave me a New Year's gift. Let me think about what I can give you in return."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Giving money is more practical than giving anything else."

Rong Nianqing smiled speechlessly: "Very practical, I will prepare it for you when I get back. When you got this file bag, did you find that you were being followed? No, I am worried, I will arrange a bodyguard for you."

what?
Lu Yao was surprised and asked, "Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Rong Nianqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, they won't disturb your life. You won't even notice the bodyguards' presence."

Lu Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Then you shouldn't have told me! You're making me suspicious of every stranger I meet in life." Rong Nianqing was puzzled. Is it wrong for me to care about you? This guy is really a dog biting Lu Dongbin.

She said unhappily, "If you have nothing to say, don't force it. I want to go back."

Lu Yao opened the car door and got out.

Rong Nianqing suddenly poked her head out of the car and asked, "Aren't you going home for the New Year? Who are you going to spend the New Year with here?"

"Myself."

what?
Rong Nianqing didn't understand: "Why don't you come back to Xicheng with me to celebrate the New Year? When talking about you this year, many elders in my family were quite curious about you and said they wanted to meet you if they had the chance."

"No need, you should go back early." After saying that, Lu Yao slammed the car door.

Rong Nianqing: "..."

She watched through the car window as Lu Yao got into the Mercedes. In the cold and dark night, his figure was so tall and so desolate.

Rong Nianqing didn't understand why Lu Yao didn't go back to celebrate the New Year, but when she thought about Lu Yao celebrating the New Year here alone, she felt a little uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, Rong Nianqing said to the front: "Go back."

……

After handing the file bag to Rong Nianqing, Lu Yao drove back to Sister Wang's apartment.

In the following days, Lu Yao stayed at home, surfing the Internet every day to check information, make some jokes and interact with his fans to maintain the popularity of his Weibo.

When he has free time, he will turn on the computer at home and play a few games.

In 2013, there weren’t many things to play online. There was no King of Glory to make your blood pressure soar, and no PUBG to make your adrenaline rush like a special forces soldier. Many classic games that later became popular had not yet been released.

Ancient games such as World of Warcraft and Dota still occupy a large market in Internet cafes, but Lu Yao is not interested in World of Warcraft and Dota is too tiring to play.

Fortunately, League of Legends is quite popular now, and it is quite fun to re-experience the old version of League of Legends.

Although Cheng Xinyu went back to her hometown during the Chinese New Year, she has become very interested in the path of being a live streaming influencer, so she was not idle even at home during the Chinese New Year.

When she saw that Lu Yao was also playing this game, she would basically take advantage of the time when Lu Yao was online to happily duo queue with him.

Two days later, Lu Yao suddenly received a message from Rong Nianqing: "Come downstairs."

Lu Yao was puzzled: "It's already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, and you're still running back and forth to Shangnan?"

This time Rong Nianqing didn't reply to him.

When Lu Yao went downstairs, he found that Rong Nianqing had not come at all, but there was a black Land Rover Range Rover parked downstairs, followed by a Crown car.

After seeing Lu Yao coming down in his home cotton clothes, Rong Nianqing's housekeeper came over and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, this is a New Year's gift from our young lady to you."

As he said this, the butler held out the keys to the Land Rover Range Rover with both hands.

"Ouch!"

Lu Yao took the key and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. Come upstairs and have a cup of hot tea."

The housekeeper smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, you're too polite. The other things are also in the storage box of the car. The lady said she wishes you a good New Year and a prosperous year ahead."

Lu Yao also said: "You're welcome. I'll call her and thank her myself."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Then you are busy, I will go back first."

Lu Yao waved goodbye to the other party, and waited until the other party drove away in the Crown car. Then Lu Yao circled around the car. It has to be said that there is a reason why Land Rover is liked by so many big brothers, especially those who do earthworks.

This square, majestic and domineering yet modern and avant-garde shape is indeed in line with men's aesthetic taste.

But the quality of this car is so average.

But when Lu Yao opened the car door, got in, lowered the window, and looked around carefully, he found that the car had been deeply modified.

Even the shell shape and the logo of this car are Land Rover, and everything else has been completely changed, turning it into a truly fierce and domineering Land Rover.

Lu Yao took out his phone and sent a message to Rong Nianqing: "Wow, this New Year's gift you gave me is not simple."

This time, Rong Nianqing replied, "The new Range Rover that Tata Group released after acquiring Land Rover does look good, but the workmanship of Tata Group is too poor. I bought it and my family wanted to refurbish it, so I changed it from the inside out."

“This car is very safe.”

Lu Yao understood.

This car is a New Year gift from Rong Nianqing to Lu Yao, a "gift box" in return for Lu Yao, and also a "protection" for Lu Yao.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Rong, for giving me a Range Rover. You are so generous, Boss! You are going to make a fortune!"

Rong Nianqing couldn't help but smile when she saw the indecent message on her phone, and she even subconsciously said in her heart - "You are so poor!"

It seemed as if he was living off her, but this was just a small token of Rong Nianqing's gratitude to Lu Yao.

Compared to the things Lu Yao sent, these things she gave to Lu Yao were not worth mentioning.

After Lu Yao finished talking with Rong Nianqing, he moved to the passenger side, opened the storage box, and took out a file bag containing a contract, an envelope, and a card.

The contract was a share dividend agreement of Huasheng Life, and Rong Nianqing raised Lu Yao's dividend by another percentage point.

The other card contains the money that Rong Nianqing gave to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao opened the envelope and took out the letter inside. On it was the words written by Rong Nianqing:

"There is 60 million in the card. This is the largest amount of money I can take out in the short term without attracting attention. 50 million is the reward, 10 million is the New Year's bonus, and the password is my birthday."

"Happy New Year."

Lu Yao was happy.

I didn’t expect that Mr. Rong’s arrangement was so ceremonial.

Lu Yao already has an idea of ​​how to use the 60 million yuan, and he will keep 10 million yuan in cash as a backup.

Of the remaining 50 million, he plans to use 40 million to purchase virtual currency, and use the remaining 10 million to buy bottom-fishing in the stock market after the New Year.

In March after the New Year, the A-share market will reach its lowest point of the year, falling below the 14 points in January and rushing down to more than points. At this point in time, it is the best time to get on board for many of the stock kings of .

But again -

The stock market is not a game of money, it is a game of people.

This is especially obvious in the A-share market. The entry of any large amount of funds may cause a chain reaction, so Lu Yao only plans to invest 1000 million yuan.

Lu Yao is not a veteran stock investor, and A-shares are not a place for real investment and financial management. The reason why he is still eyeing A-shares is that on the one hand, he does not want to miss the opportunity to make money, and on the other hand, he simply wants to take revenge and vent his anger for his previous life.

In fact, what he earned from the stock market is not as much as what Lu Yao earned from the real industry.

After Lu Yao converts the remaining 40 million into virtual currency, he will prepare to transfer the money from A shares into U.S. stocks.

US stocks are not as interesting as A-shares. If you can practice your skills, you can buy indexes and they will increase fivefold in ten years. But Lu Yao has never been a person who seeks excitement, let alone a gambler.

After hiding the file bag in his arms, Lu Yao drove the Land Rover to the underground parking lot of the apartment building.

Time flies and it is New Year's Eve.

When Lu Yao woke up in the morning, he found that it had snowed again the night before. Through the window he could see that the streets outside were decorated with lights, red lanterns and couplets.

The white snow and the couplets complement each other, making the New Year atmosphere in Shangnan even stronger.

After Lu Yao made himself some simple food, he called home.

My mother asked Lu Yao on the phone why he didn't come back. She sighed with sorrow and worry, but Lu Yao's father shouted angrily on the other end of the phone: "If you don't come back, then don't come back! It's not the New Year without him. I'm hanging up!"

My mother rolled her eyes at the person behind her during the video call, and then said gently to Lu Yao, "Then you can get yourself something to eat over there. I'll send you some of the fried radish and tofu balls I made at home."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Okay, give me some vegetable and meat buns as well. I'll have the courier pick them up directly at my door."

Mom smiled and said, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone with home, Lu Yao put away the smile on his face.

In his past and present life, he didn't know how to deal with the relationship between him and the old man in his family.

Not long after Lu Yao hung up, his phone rang again. This time it was Zhou Bella calling: "Brother Lu~ Happy New Year's Eve~ Are you still in Shangnan?"

Lu Yao smiled: "How did you know that?"

Zhou Bella smiled and said on the phone: "Don't worry about it, I know it anyway~ Come to my house to have New Year's Eve dinner together, and watch the Spring Festival Gala together to celebrate the New Year."

Lu Yao laughed: "Won't it disturb you?"

Zhou Bella shouted: "How could it be!!"

At this moment, a clear, childish, and cheerful voice came from the phone: "That's right! Brother Da Lu, you won't disturb us. Mom and I hope you can come."

"We cook a lot of delicious food at home, including beef, mutton, braised fish, and stewed chicken. They are so delicious!"

Lu Yao smiled unconsciously: "You've made me drool, so I'll go over there."

Zhou Bella shouted on the phone: "Come quickly, we are waiting for you at home."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao suddenly felt stronger.

He took a stack of cash from home, then went to a nearby supermarket to buy red envelopes, some milk, and health products as souvenirs, and then drove his Land Rover to where Zhou Bella and her family lived now.

When they were almost there, Lu Yao saw Zhou Bella, Zhou Baola, and her mother standing outside waiting from the car.

But because Lu Yao changed cars, Zhou Bella didn't recognize him even when he got in front of her.

It was not until Lu Yao lowered the window that Zhou Bella asked in surprise, "Huh? Brother Lu, did you change the car?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "This is a New Year's gift from President Rong."

"Wow!"

Zhou Bella was surprised. She stared at the car with her bright eyes blinking and said with mixed emotions, "This car is very expensive, right? President Rong is so generous."

But she quickly clenched her fist and said, "Although I can't afford it, Brother Lu will definitely work hard for you so that you can get a better car sooner!"

Lu Yao was happy.

How could there be such a well-behaved and virtuous girl in the world!
