Title: Reborn in Handong, Starting with an Investment in Gao Yuliang

The lakeside on campus.

The autumn wind is chilly.

Liang Cheng's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a great bell, making Zhong Xiaoai's eardrums buzz.

"cycle?"

Zhong Xiaoai muttered to herself.

She came from a prominent family and grew up listening to her elders talk about the situation, factions, and balance.

But no one has ever done it like Liang Cheng.

Using such a cold and precise "business cycle law" to deconstruct a life-or-death political struggle.

Seeing her shocked expression, Liang Cheng's smile deepened.

He decided to add fuel to the fire.

This completely shattered the psychological defenses of this young lady from the capital.

"Zhong Xiaoai, do you know what the biggest problem is for the Zhao family right now?"

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand and pointed to a teaching building under construction in the distance.

Dust filled the air, and machines roared.

"It's fast."

"Too fast."

"During Zhao Lichun's tenure as the head of Jingzhou, the city's GDP quadrupled, and the city's appearance has changed dramatically."

"This was his achievement, but also his death warrant."

Zhong Xiaoai's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Why?

Liang Cheng withdrew his gaze, his tone becoming deep and somber.

"Because in order to be fast, he sacrificed too many rules."

"In order to attract investment, environmental protection red lines can be crossed."

"Demolition methods can be ruthless in the name of urban development."

"In order to reform state-owned enterprises, state-owned assets can be lost."

Speaking of it.

Liang Cheng turned around and looked directly into Zhong Xiaoai's eyes.

Those gazes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight to the heart.

"This is original sin."

"During the period of unbridled growth, these original sins will be obscured by the halo of rapid development."

"Everyone is busy cutting the cake; nobody cares how it was made."

"but."

Liang Cheng then changed the subject.

"When the tide recedes, when development reaches a bottleneck, when society needs fairness and the rule of law."

"These original sins that were once covered up will become the sword of Damocles hanging over Zhao Lichun's head."

"It could fall at any moment."

Zhong Xiaoai felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

She looked at the man in front of her who was even younger than herself.

A storm of emotions surged within me.

So insightful!

That's incredibly cruel!

Liang Cheng not only saw through Zhao Lichun's true intentions, but also grasped the pulse of the times.

Liang Cheng slowly walked to the bench and picked up one of his books.

With his back to Zhong Xiaoai, he left behind a judgment.

"Watching him build a tall building."

"Watching him host a banquet for his guests."

"Watching him... the building collapse."

"Retribution may be delayed, but it will come."

These lines of opera, recited by Liang Cheng, carried a sense of fatalistic desolation and certainty.

Zhong Xiaoai stood there, stunned.

for a long time.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision.

He quickly stepped forward and called out to Liang Cheng, who was about to leave.

"Liang Cheng!"

Liang Cheng stopped and turned around.

Zhong Xiaoai then put away all her previous probing, arrogance, and scrutiny.

She extended her fair and slender hand.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

"I've learned a lot today."

"Liang Cheng, no matter how the situation changes in the future."

"I hope we can be friends, not enemies."

This is a gesture of goodwill from the Zhong family in Beijing.

And she is this darling of heaven.

For the first time, I lowered my proud head in front of my peers.

Liang Cheng looked at his hand, which was stretched out in mid-air.

He smiled calmly.

Reach out and gently shake hands with him.

"certainly."

"It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

It separates upon contact.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Cheng turned and strode away.

He left behind only a dashing silhouette, disappearing into the autumn sunset.

Not far away.

Several students passing by secretly took pictures of this scene.

In the photo.

Handsome men and beautiful women, holding hands and gazing at each other.

The background is a shimmering lake.

This scene is destined to become a new legend at Handong University.

......

That night.

Girls' dormitory.

Zhong Xiaoai sat at her desk, the lamplight casting a long shadow over her.

There was a black notebook on the table.

This is no ordinary diary.

Instead, it was her "observation file" used to record promising young talents and potential stars from various provinces.

Before this.

The names recorded in this notebook are mostly those of the most outstanding individuals from the prestigious compounds in Beijing.

Within Handong Province, there was originally only one Hou Liangping, whose evaluation was "B+".

But now.

Zhong Xiaoai turned to a new page without hesitation.

He picked up his pen and wrote two characters: Liang Cheng.

She pondered for a moment.

The pen scratched softly on the paper.

Name: Liang Cheng

[Background: Son of Liang Qunfeng, Deputy Secretary of the Handong Provincial Party Committee]

[Personality: Extremely calm, deeply calculating, skilled at planning, and thinks ten steps ahead for every one step.]

[Abilities: Possesses a forward-thinking business acumen and a master-level insight into political situations.]

[Commentary: This young man is no ordinary person. He is not only a businessman, but also a political strategist with a deep understanding of economics.]

write here.

Zhong Xiaoai paused.

Liang Cheng's words, "Efficiency is justice" and "Destiny is in cycles," came to mind.

She took a deep breath.

In the "Overall Rating" section.

He wrote a red letter heavily.

【S】!

This is the first S-level entry in her file.

Even the eldest son of the Wang family in the capital, who was hailed as a "prodigy," was only at the A-level.

Close the notebook.

Zhong Xiaoai looked at the night outside the window and murmured to herself.

"Liang Cheng..."

How many more surprises can you possibly bring me?

"If you don't perish halfway, you will have a significant impact on the future of Handong, and even on the chessboard of China."

"There will surely be a place for you, my dear."

......

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Especially gossip within the ivory tower of universities like Handong University.

Its propagation speed is comparable to the speed of light.

Early the next morning.

The news that Liang Cheng and Zhong Xiaoai had a "secret meeting" by the lake and even "shaked hands affectionately" spread throughout the entire campus.

There are even photographic evidence.

Although the photo is blurry, you can still see the atmosphere of the two being evenly matched and having a pleasant conversation.

In a short time.

Rumors abound.

In the cafeteria.

Su Qingyu had just sat down, carrying her tray.

I overheard a few girls whispering at the next table.

Although his voice was very low, every word was like a needle piercing her ears.

"Hey, did you guys hear? Liang Cheng and Zhong Xiaoai chatted for a long time by the lake yesterday!"

"I saw it a long time ago! That photo looks like it was taken in an idol drama."

"Tsk tsk, to be honest, I think Zhong Xiaoai and Liang Cheng are a perfect match."

"Yes, Zhong Xiaoai is a golden phoenix from Beijing, with an extremely powerful family background. Liang Cheng's business is so big now, he's bound to move up the ladder in the future."

"What about Su Qingyu?"

"Although Su Qingyu is beautiful, she's just a merchant's daughter after all. What else can she do besides helping Liang Cheng with the accounts?"

"In the face of real power, appearance is the least valuable resource."

"That's right, only someone with Zhong Xiaoai's background can truly help Liang Cheng in his career..."

"Snapped!"

Su Qingyu slammed her chopsticks heavily on the table.

The chatter at the next table stopped abruptly.

Several girls turned around in alarm.

Seeing Su Qingyu's frosty expression, he was so frightened that he quickly picked up the plate and ran away.
