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

Chapter 469 Du Bozhong, how dare you call yourself an honest man?

"What the hell?"

Zhao Ruilong turned his head in surprise, his tone rising:

"When did I ever say I would give him 10% of the profits?"

“I haven’t seen him for months at a time, and we rarely talk on the phone.”

"If I had mentioned it, I would definitely remember it, and I would have told you afterwards."

"you do not say!"

Zhao Xiaohui said indignantly:

"Ten percent of the profits will be distributed as dividends, which amounts to over one hundred million!"

"If you really made that promise to him, how could you not tell me afterwards?"

“When I asked him when you made that promise, he said it was last September.”

“He couldn’t remember the exact date. I asked him who could testify, and he said Qin Shuang could.”

"But when I asked Qin Shuang, she said she didn't remember. He immediately changed his story and said it was a promise you made when you two were chatting alone!"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled and shook his head.

He sat down on the sofa and leisurely lit a cigarette.

"I think Du Bozhong is not only someone who has forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, but he's also an insatiable ingrate!"

"He's just a mascot. Give him a million-dollar annual salary and tens of millions in bonuses, what more could he want?"

"This doesn't even include his annual business trips, his extravagant spending on food and drink using public funds, and his fabricated pretexts to submit false accounts!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Xiaohui sat down to the side and picked up a cup to pour tea.

"Back then, he was detained for harassing Qiu Yanfei, the daughter of Macau casino tycoon He Hongmiao."

"If we hadn't stepped in to help him, he would have been in jail long ago!"

"And after he got out, he swore that he would be a good person, but what happened?"

Zhao Ruilong sneered.

That's why people often say, "A leopard can't change its spots."

Zhao Ruilong picked up his teacup and took a small sip.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "This guy Du Bozhong can't be allowed to live."

Before I traveled through time, I thought Du Bozhong was treacherous and cunning when I watched the drama.

This guy meticulously trained Gao Xiaofeng, using her beauty to seduce Gao Yuliang, but secretly filmed it all.

After falling out with Zhao Ruilong in the drama, he actually developed his private photos and sent them to Tian Guofu, then threatened and extorted 50 million yuan.

Cooperating with such a treacherous and cunning opportunist means you might get betrayed by him one day, and he'll think it's his due.

Zhao Ruilong put down his teacup and his smile faded.

"I feel that the world shouldn't be like this."

"Kind people should not be bullied, and good people should not have guns pointed at them!"

Zhao Xiaohui put down the teapot, her brows furrowing slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"You want to change the legal representative, replace the puppet?"

Zhao Ruilong leaned back on the sofa and crossed his legs.

"Sister, greed knows no bounds!"

“We were too good to him before, so good that he thought we were easy to talk to, or even easy to bully.”

"Take his false reporting of travel expenses, for example. Haven't you seen the amounts he's been reporting getting higher and higher over the past two or three years?"

"He went on a business trip to Beijing and spent over 800,000 yuan in just three days. This isn't a business trip at all; it's a money-spending spree!"

"Moreover, the dinner was paid for by Sakura, not on behalf of our Huilong Group. This means he's just using us as scapegoats!"

After taking a drag of his cigarette, Zhao Ruilong continued:

"We value relationships and are willing to fall out with him because of our years of cooperation. But what about him?"

"He probably thinks we can never do without him, and that we have to make him the chairman and his puppet."

"Since countless people believe that our group has plenty of money, he will naturally be ruthless in making money!"

"Moreover, we still don't know whether he has been using his position as chairman of Huilong Group to secretly seek personal gain under our group's name."

Zhao Xiaohui picked up her teacup and took a big gulp.

"Now that you mention it, I realize he really can't be kept around."

“We make him almost 20 to 30 million yuan every year without lifting a finger, and he's still not satisfied.”

"They want dividends and shares in our new company without spending a penny or putting in any effort."

"And he even lied, wanting 10% of the profits from the Luzhou Lakeside Garden residential project!"

"We don't have any dirty secrets that he can't get our hands on, so why should he take advantage of us like this?"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled softly.

Even if it exists, so what?

"Sis, have you forgotten our background and identity after being law-abiding for so long?"

"Not to mention that Dad has taken another big step forward today, even if he hadn't, we are still powerful and influential families that no one in Handong can afford to offend!"

“We haven’t abused our power or sought personal gain. We’ve been investing and doing business honestly and treating people with integrity, yet we’re being seen as kind and easy to bully. How can that be acceptable?”

"The law of the jungle is an immutable law of society! If our kindness has no edge, one day we will be harmed by our own kindness!"

Zhao Xiaohui finished the tea in her cup in one gulp.

"I know the story of the farmer and the snake!"

"We're practically children of top-tier elites now, how can we let him manipulate us so easily?"

"But before we replace him, we need to find a new chairman, right?"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled.

"A three-legged toad is hard to find, but a two-legged legal representative is easy to find, isn't it?"

"In an era when the average monthly salary is less than a thousand, there are plenty of people willing to work for a monthly salary of over ten thousand."

"Besides, I don't think the position of chairman needs to be treated as a nominal one; it should be fully utilized."

"Whether it's hiring an eloquent and presentable academic talent, promoting one from among many senior executives, or implementing a rotation system, it's clearly better than the current situation!"

Zhao Xiaohui nodded in deep agreement and said, "That's right. Our group is now large in scale and has a great reputation. There are many high-level meetings, conferences and business activities that require the chairman's presence. It's really time to replace Du Bozhong, that incompetent fool!"

After putting down her teacup, Zhao Xiaohui immediately asked:

"Then how can we replace him?"

"We've known each other for many years, and I still hope we won't part on bad terms."

Zhao Ruilong let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's easy, isn't it? Just talk to him directly."

"For example, as the group develops rapidly, its business scope continues to expand."

"We need someone with professional expertise and effective communication skills to be our chairman."

"If he's willing to leave with dignity, I can give him 30 million in one lump sum!"

Zhao Xiaohui leaned forward.

"But what if he's not respectable?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled coldly.

"Since he won't listen to reason, let's settle all the old scores and new ones together, and help him save face!"

"The fact that he repeatedly submitted false accounts for huge sums of money, which constitutes suspected embezzlement, is already enough to give him a run for his money!"

"Not to mention he doesn't even smoke cigarettes, yet he smokes weeds, and he both smokes and hides them. Isn't that illegal possession of drugs?"

The phone rang as soon as he finished speaking.

Upon seeing that it was his father calling, Zhao Ruilong immediately answered and pressed the speakerphone button.

"Dad, how are you? Are you happy?"

"Happy, of course I'm happy, this is such a wonderful surprise..."

Zhao Xiaohui couldn't wait to chime in.

"Then hurry back! Let's celebrate properly tonight!"

Zhao Lichun laughed and said, "Hey, let's skip the celebration. It hasn't been officially announced yet. Once it's officially confirmed and I've finished my work and returned to Handong, we can celebrate properly as a family."

Zhao Xiaohui immediately looked dejected.

"Oh dear, when will that be? Once the official election results are out, you'll definitely be busy with all sorts of meetings, training sessions, and handing over your work. By the time you're done and come back to hand over the work here in Handong, it'll probably be next month."

Zhao Lichun laughed and said, "It's not too late. Anyway, I'll have to come back eventually. There's still a lot of work to hand over to Lao Liu."

"So it's confirmed that Uncle Liu will succeed you as the top leader of Handong?"

Zhao Xiaohui asked anxiously.

"It's highly likely. Yesterday I chatted with General Manager Shen and Vice President Xu, and they both said that Handong's current development is hard-won and we must stabilize the situation and continue to develop well."

"Think about it, isn't this just letting Lao Liu take over? The great development of Handong today is the result of our tacit cooperation. Only if he succeeds me can Handong continue to develop quickly and steadily."

After smiling, Zhao Lichun changed the subject.

"I have something to do in a bit, so I'll keep it short. Two things."

"First, the international passenger route from Jingzhou to Xijinshan has been approved. Let's not wrong Ma Yifeng of the Transportation Department. He is a professionally trained aviation professional with good business skills and a desire to do practical things for the country and the people. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely help him."

"Secondly, Ruilong, please arrange your work and try to come to Yanjing this afternoon or tomorrow. Once the personnel adjustments are finalized, power will be reshuffled, and your group's investment and business layout should also be adjusted accordingly. We should definitely support what needs to be supported, you know what I mean?"

Zhao Ruilong quickly replied, "I understand, I'll have someone book the tickets right away."

"Alright, let's cut to the chase and talk in detail when we meet!"

"By the way, you two should keep my job change a secret for now and not spread it around."

Zhao Xiaohui immediately replied, "Don't worry, Dad. In the two years you've been the top leader of Handong, we haven't taken advantage of your power or shown off! The higher you rise, the more low-key and cautious we'll be!"

"So, will you also keep it a secret from your older sister?"

Zhao Ruilong asked curiously.

"What's the point of talking to her? You all know what kind of person she is. No matter how high a position I hold, she won't care. Let's leave it at that for now. I'm going to the General Affairs Department. We'll talk later!"

After saying that, Zhao Lichun hung up the phone.

Zhao Ruilong immediately made a phone call to have someone book tickets.

Zhao Xiaohui suddenly reached out and snatched the phone away.

"Hey, are you really planning to book a ticket and fly there right now?"

"Otherwise what? Dad already spoke up, didn't you hear him?"

As Zhao Ruilong spoke, he reached for his phone.

"I suggest you book a flight for tomorrow morning."

"why?"

"It's your wife's birthday today, have you forgotten?"

"Me...which wife?"

"I rely on!!"

Zhao Xiaohui shoved Zhao Ruilong hard.

"You're in Jingzhou. Besides Lu Yike, which other woman can be considered your wife?"

Zhao Ruilong was taken aback, then laughed awkwardly:

"Actually, I did remember that I had specifically asked Xiaoqin and Xiaofeng to pick out a decent birthday present for me."

"I was completely out of it just now. I was only thinking about Dad's promotion and how busy I was, and I didn't even think about her birthday!"

Zhao Xiaohui immediately returned the phone to Zhao Ruilong.

"There are extenuating circumstances, but this will not be allowed to happen again!"

"You can forget everything else, but never forget a woman's birthday!"

At this point, Zhao Xiaohui couldn't help but ask curiously:
