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

Chapter 304 The Noise of Insects! I, Zhao Ruilong, am not afraid of slander and mutual insults!

"Great! Really great!"

"They've even resorted to propaganda warfare."

"This truly is a life-or-death struggle!"

"No mistakes can be tolerated; any mistake will be magnified and relentlessly pursued!"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled awkwardly.

I truly felt the cruelty of the struggle.

I finally understand that putting the big picture first is very difficult.

They don't care how much Huilong Group has contributed to high-quality economic development, how many jobs it has created, how much tax revenue it has contributed, or how many industries it has driven.

They don't care. If China wants to upgrade its industries, become a high-tech manufacturing powerhouse, and shed the label of "sweatshops," then it should support national brands and private enterprises, not suppress them.

All they want is to fight.

Will economic development be hampered? Will the interests of ordinary people be harmed?

It doesn't matter to them at all.

The most important thing is to ruin Huilong Group and even destroy the Zhao family.

Zhong Xiaoai, who was unaware of the truth at the time.

After hearing Zhao Ruilong's remarks, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Chairman Du's inability to control himself and his mistakes only proves that he has a problem with his personal character."

“The Mirror Weekly, which is far away in Hong Kong, is trying to smear our entire Huilong Group.”

"As expected, something fishy must be going on. It turns out that someone was deliberately causing trouble behind all of this!"

Zhao Ruilong smiled calmly.

He knew, of course, that the Mirror Weekly was quite famous.

In the original drama, Sha Ruijin, who was parachuted into Handong, was troubled by its reports.

The newspaper's reporter, Liu Sheng, was actually an intelligence broker who sold information frequently at the Three Seasons Hotel, which was jokingly called the Wangbeilou (Looking North Tower).

Since Liu Sheng and this newspaper have not yet cooperated with the Zhao family, those who have received benefits from Huo Siteng and his group will naturally speak up for them.

Everyone in the world is benefiting.

Whether before or after time travel.

Having lived two lives, Zhao Ruilong has always maintained a clear understanding of the media.

That means they are also people who need to eat, drink, relieve themselves, and sleep.

Those who consistently maintain objectivity and impartiality are extremely rare.

More often than not, driven by profit and a desire to attract attention, they resort to generalizations, fabrication, and spreading rumors...

Especially in the world before the time travel.

With the widespread adoption of mobile internet, the acquisition and dissemination of information have become much faster.

In order to seize trending topics and gain more attention.

Many media organizations have become too lazy to investigate the truth.

As a result, they all rushed to spread all sorts of false information.

Even so-called official media outlets have been repeatedly proven wrong by the reversal of the truth.

But they still enjoy it immensely.

Even in order to increase the topic's popularity and expand its influence in public opinion.

They've long since moved beyond simply using sensational headlines to attract people.

They didn't hesitate to personally intervene, stirring up conflicts and sparking verbal battles.

They have long forgotten the concepts of objectivity and fairness.

and so……

Zhao Ruilong had long suffered from the devastation of information pollution and had become accustomed to the ugly faces of various media outlets.

Now, I've learned that Hong Kong's "Mirror Weekly" is using Du Bozhong's case to smear my hard-earned Huilong Group.

Naturally, he wouldn't be so angry and resentful that he would try to retaliate and make Mirror Weekly apologize.

It's like someone who has long been immune to all poisons and is indestructible.

Hearing a few barks from a dog, how could he possibly be so angry that he would break his guard?

"Others might hope we'll get angry and frustrated, but we'll deliberately prevent them from having that wish!"

"It's just a case, isn't it? The one who made the mistake was Du Bozhong, not our entire Huilong Group!"

"Now that it has already happened, we will neither evade nor deny it. We will just try our best to resolve this matter within the scope of the law."

“Yesterday I had lawyer Wang and Chang Chenghu go to see the female party, Qiu Yanfei, but she was adamant and refused to settle.”

"So I'm here today to ask you to represent the group and talk to her one last time. Whether we reach a settlement or not, we'll have done right by Du Bozhong."

"understand!"

Zhong Xiaoai nodded quickly.

"However, I need to know our bottom line."

"If she can understand and propose compensation, I can negotiate with her accordingly."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "If she only wants financial compensation, whether it's millions or tens of millions, we can agree to it. Anyway, we can deduct it from Du Bozhong's year-end bonus."

"If she has any other demands, call me again. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can meet them. But if her demands are too high or she still refuses to settle, just come back!"

"Du Bozhong made the mistake, and we've already done enough by cleaning up his mess out of a sense of duty. If Qiu Yanfei is truly determined not to forgive him or to use this as an excuse to make exorbitant demands, we won't tolerate it!"

Zhong Xiaoai casually asked, "What about the report in Hong Kong's Mirror Weekly?"

Zhao Ruilong slowly stood up.

"Let's wait until we see the full report before we comment!"

"If there is even the slightest slander or fabrication, the Ministry of Justice will be mobilized immediately!"

"No matter how much it costs to litigate, they must issue a public apology!"

After discussing it with Lu Yike last night, Zhao Ruilong is now much more composed.

The development of Handong is in full swing.

The father's chances of making progress were extremely high, which would naturally make some people anxious and impatient.

With both high-level support and outstanding political achievements...

This is where the real advantage lies.

Those people were in a hurry to trip us up, but they didn't have a good way to do it.

Let the Hong Kong media stir things up.

So flustered and red-faced, like a clown, what's there to be afraid of?

For me, the most important thing is to stay calm.

Stay calm and don't let yourself be led by the nose.

To maintain the momentum of development and ensure the smooth progress of all major projects.

Others' smears, ridicule, attacks, and insults are completely irrelevant.

For us, what truly matters is to quickly achieve mass production of chips with 45-nanometer process precision, to enable high-speed trains to run at 350 kilometers per hour, to ensure the successful maiden flight of domestically produced large aircraft, and to bring various new types of weapons and equipment to the forefront...

At that time, we will face the challenges of technological advancement and industrial prosperity.

Huo Siteng is nothing more than an ant.

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, the relevant national standards for new energy vehicles will be drafted and promulgated soon. Leaders from relevant departments have privately asked me when our cars will be launched."

"What? Are the leaders getting impatient?"

"Yes, everyone is very curious. We've mobilized so many units, spent so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and conducted countless experiments and tests. What will the car we've built actually be like?"

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

"Although everyone is looking forward to it, and even a little anxious, we must not be impatient for quick success or act rashly."

"If they ask again, just tell them that our car will be officially unveiled and pre-sales will begin at the Yanjing International Auto Show next April."

"Before that, we will prepare for mass production and build a sales and after-sales system covering major cities and counties across the country, and of course, the most important winter test."

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback.

"Do we still need to test?"

"No, we have so many vehicles being tested every day, isn't that enough?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Of course we'll test it!"

“Performing well in the lab does not guarantee excellent performance in real life.”

“Since our cars are intended to be sold all over the country, they should be tested on hot and humid islands in the summer and on icy and snowy northern lands in the winter.”

"Moreover, this is not only our first car, but it is also a hybrid vehicle. We must ensure that it is not afraid of the severe cold, otherwise how can it compete with gasoline vehicles in the northern market?"

Zhong Xiaoai pursed her lips and nodded silently.

Although in her opinion, a civilian car developed by so many state-owned enterprises using aviation and even aerospace standards, and having undergone so many rigorous tests, should have been fine long ago.

However, caution is always the best policy. Whether advanced technologies used in satellites and components that can function normally in the harsh conditions of outer space can be used safely and durablely in automobiles requires repeated testing and optimization.

Moreover, in the automotive industry, domestic cars are not highly regarded, while joint venture and imported cars have many advantages. Therefore, to achieve instant fame, the first car must not be taken lightly; otherwise, once it fails, it will be difficult to make a comeback.

At that time, not only will it be difficult to win the trust of consumers and convince them that domestically produced new energy vehicles are not poorly made, but it will also cause a huge blow to the confidence of the vast number of scientific research and experimental personnel, who will themselves lack confidence.

Similar situations exist with domestically produced chips, high-speed rail, large aircraft, medical devices, and more...

Each of these projects consumed countless funds and a huge amount of human and material resources.

Without absolute certainty, they wouldn't easily go public.

As a follower in high-end industries, we are destined to succeed and are not allowed to fail.

Only by succeeding on the first try can one have the possibility of winning market competition and gaining a foothold.

Only by establishing a firm foothold can we continue our efforts and ultimately achieve a complete comeback.

"This is Qiu Yanfei's information. You can decide when to talk to her!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but remind him:

"By the way, she's... her orientation isn't like that of a normal woman, so keep that in mind!"

"what?"

Zhong Xiaoai was a little surprised.

"what do you mean?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"She...likes women!"

"..."

Zhong Xiaoai was instantly stunned.

Seeing her horrified expression, Zhao Ruilong quickly said:

"Don't worry, she probably won't be interested in you."

"When Chang Chenghu went to see her last night, she already had a female companion with her, who seemed to be a Hong Kong female celebrity!"

Zhong Xiaoai breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good!"

"I've lived all these years and never dealt with anyone like this before."

"Now that she has a female companion, I'm relieved."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "After you finish this matter, you can take a long vacation right after the National Day holiday!"

Before recruiting Zhong Xiaoai into the group, Zhao Ruilong anticipated that she had been working in the system for many years and, being Zhong Zhengguo's daughter, would be well-suited for political connections.

But as it turns out...

I underestimated her power.

Whether it was going to Linjiang Province to coordinate matters related to the wind power industry, or being recently assigned to Yanjing to work on national standards for new energy vehicles, Zhong Xiaoai has completed her tasks exceptionally well.

Such strong abilities, and the work done so beautifully.

Besides giving her the bonus she deserves, she should also have a proper vacation and rest.

If you want a horse to run, you can't just feed it grass; it also needs rest.
