The word "satisfaction" does not exist in her dictionary.

She knew that Tazhai Village was merely an important transit point.

That true source is the root of this wealth.

Therefore, in pursuit of greater benefits, she resolutely came to Tazhai Village herself.

When Elaine Chao arrived in Tazhai, Lin Yaodong was on his way to Hong Kong to attend the Lei's Holdings shareholders' meeting convened by Lei Hao.

The person in charge of receiving her was Lin Zonghui, the head of the third branch of Tazhai Village.

Lin Zonghui sat in the bright and clean reception room of the village office, having already brewed hot tea, ready to receive this important guest who had come from afar.

"Miss Zhao, what brings you here from afar?" Lin Zonghui's voice was deep and powerful, with a scrutinizing tone.

Elaine Chao had just taken away a large batch of goods, so she shouldn't be coming back so soon.

Therefore, Lin Zonghui was somewhat puzzled and couldn't figure out her true purpose for suddenly visiting Tazhai today.

Elaine Chao elegantly picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and looked at Lin Zonghui with a sharp, scrutinizing gaze.

“Mr. Lin, I am here today to seek deeper cooperation.”

She got straight to the point, her tone carrying an undeniable certainty.

"Oh? A deeper level of cooperation?" Lin Zonghui raised an eyebrow and calmly put down his teacup.

He immediately realized that this woman in front of him probably had quite an appetite.

Moreover, he disliked that arrogant attitude very much.

“Yes,” Elaine Chao looked directly at Lin Zonghui, “I want to know where you get your goods in Hong Kong from?”

She even held up a single finger, casually tossing out a highly tempting condition:

"I can invest a lot of money to help you expand your business and make your profits multiply!"

Lin Zonghui's expression subtly changed when he heard the keywords "Hong Kong" and "source of goods".

This touches upon the core of Tazhai's business, and is the very foundation upon which their entire system depends for survival and reliance.

"I'm sorry, Miss Zhao." Lin Zonghui's tone instantly became extremely firm.

"I am allowed to refuse this matter, and besides, I am not the one who truly has the authority in Tazhai Village at this moment."

Zhao Xiaolan's eyebrows furrowed instantly.

She never expected that Lin Zonghui would dare to refuse her request.

"Mr. Lin, I advise you to think this through carefully."

Zhao Xiaolan's voice suddenly turned cold, and a tense, explosive atmosphere instantly filled the air.

She suddenly stood up, her body leaning forward with an overwhelming sense of pressure, an invisible force pressing down on Lin Zonghui.

"My father is Zhao Lichun from Handong Province!"

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her gaze sharp as a knife, fixed on Lin Zonghui.

This short but powerful sentence struck Lin Zonghui like a thunderclap.

Lin Zonghui's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

The teacup in his hand shook violently, and the tea almost spilled. He hurriedly steadied himself.

Who would have thought that Elaine Chao's background was so amazing!

Zhao Lichun is the current vice governor of Handong Province!

Lin Zonghui hurriedly put down his teacup, trying to calm the immense shock in his heart, his voice trembling slightly.

"Miss Zhao, this... I really can't make that decision..."

"As for the person who can make the decisions, they are indeed not in Tazhai right now!"

Fine beads of sweat began to seep uncontrollably from his forehead.

Zhao Xiaolan's background is terrifyingly powerful, far beyond what Tazhai can possibly contend with.

However, the color TV business is related to the livelihood of the entire Tazhai village.

This is their livelihood!

He absolutely could not ruin everyone's livelihood just to protect himself, nor could he betray Brother Lin Yaodong's trust.

Seeing that Lin Zonghui remained steadfast in his stance despite the immense pressure he faced, Zhao Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.

She stopped pressuring him; sometimes pushing too hard can backfire.

Moreover, she knew that the person who could truly make decisions in Tazhai was not Lin Zonghui, who was standing in front of her.

Elaine Chao said no more, stood up, and left with a chilling warning:

"Make sure Lin Yaodong comes to the Dongshan City Guesthouse to find me as soon as he returns! Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

After saying that, she turned around resolutely and left the Tazhai Village Office without looking back.

Lin Zonghui stood frozen in place, not moving for a long time.

A strong chill rose from the soles of my feet.

He understood that Tazhai had reached a critical juncture where life and death were at stake.

Without thinking twice, he immediately grabbed the phone on the table and dialed quickly.

"Brother Dong, something's happened!"

On the other end of the phone, Lin Yaodong was visiting friends in Hong Kong with Big D.

Now that he is a Hong Kong resident, he spends a large part of his free time in Hong Kong.

Lin Yaodong was hardworking and had a pleasant voice, so Big D really liked him.

As long as Lam Yiu-tung was in Hong Kong, Big D would take him around to meet all sorts of important people.

Lin Yaohua, on the other hand, stayed in the presidential suite to catch up on sleep.

"Zonghui, what's the matter that's so urgent?" Lin Yaodong noticed that Lin Zonghui's tone was off and asked in a low voice.

Without any delay, Lin Zonghui recounted in detail Zhao Xiaolan's sudden visit, her astonishing background and identity, and that chilling threatening remark.

Lin Yaodong, on the other end of the phone, was also shocked after hearing this and gasped sharply.

Zhao Lichun! Vice Governor of Handong Province!

This is simply beyond Lin Yaodong's ability to handle!

"I...I'll think of something."

Lin Yaodong's voice trembled slightly as he hurriedly hung up the phone.

"Yaodong, what's wrong?" Big D, who was standing nearby, noticed his unusual behavior and asked anxiously.

Lin Yaodong didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately explained, "Brother D, some big shot from the mainland has come to cause trouble. I have to go find Lei Sheng to discuss countermeasures!"

Big D nodded understandingly and waved for him to go and handle it quickly.

He truly lacked the power to address matters on the mainland.

We can't really lead hundreds of his underlings and charge in, can we?

They'd probably be rounded up by the mainland's "hat uncles" before they even crossed the border.

Lin Yaodong was flustered and rushed to Lei Hao's holding company.

In the chairman's office.

Lei Hao was intently studying the subsequent trend chart of the Nikkei index.

He knew perfectly well that the Nikkei index would soon undergo its final technical correction.

After that, it will be the perfect time for them to go all in on buying.

As long as you buy a large number of long positions in Nikkei index futures at this critical juncture and hold them firmly for the long term, you will not need to worry about market fluctuations until at least the end of 1989.

At that moment, there was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Come in," Lei Hao said calmly without even looking up.

Lin Yaodong strode in, his face filled with barely concealed anxiety.

"Lei Sheng!" He strode to Lei Hao's desk, his voice urgent. "Something's happened! Something terrible has happened in Tazhai!"

Lin Yaodong did not hide anything and reported everything that had just happened in Tazhai to Lei Hao.

From Elaine Chao's sudden visit, to her revealing Zhao Lichun's surprising identity as Vice Governor, and then to that straightforward and threatening remark.

Lei Hao listened quietly, his slender fingers rhythmically tapping the table, making soft "tap, tap" sounds.

When Lin Yaodong clearly mentioned the name "Zhao Lichun," Lei Hao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his tapping fingers paused slightly.

He instantly realized who this Zhao Xiaolan was.

It was Zhao Lichun's eldest daughter, who had never appeared in public.

Lei Hao had always harbored a strong interest in this eldest daughter of the Zhao family.

Nowadays, there are very few people who dare to threaten Lei Hao so directly.
