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

Chapter 489 Approachable! Is it wrong for me, Zhao Ruilong, to be low-key?

"Really...really?"

"Can you take me to Shenzhen to see your father?"

Qiu Yanfei was overjoyed, looking incredulous.

The alcohol was taking effect, and Zhao Ruilong, who was feeling drowsy, casually said:

"If you want to go, I'll take you!"

"It's not a big deal!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong couldn't help but close his eyes and go to sleep.

The 1982 Lafite red wine in the cellar of casino tycoon Ho Hung-miao is inherently very potent.

Sitting in this warm and comfortable Land Rover D9 minivan right now, I really can't help but want to fall asleep.

Compared to Zhao Ruilong's calm slumber, Qiu Yanfei was naturally extremely excited.

If Zhao Ruilong really goes to Shenzhen, he'll be able to meet his father, Zhao Lichun!

Even if Zhao Lichun has been promoted, even if he is still the top leader of Handong, and even if Qiu Yanfei is the daughter of the gambling king of Haomen, seeing him is like floating in the clear sky.

Moreover, given Zhao Lichun's current position and rank, without Zhao Ruilong's guidance, one would basically only see him in the news; how could they possibly meet him in real life?

They even met up privately for a meal...

What are you daydreaming about?

"Mom, I'm going to Shenzhen with Mr. Zhao. Could you please help me pack a couple of formal outfits and shoes?"

“My documents are in the second drawer on the left side of the dressing table. Pack them all in my suitcase.”

"And cosmetics, pack up the ones I usually use and have the housekeeper bring them over as soon as possible."

Qiu Yanfei was overjoyed.

I was even more excited than when I was dating for the first time and had to spend the night out with my girlfriend.

Shortly after she finished her call, three Land Rover minivans arrived at the port building.

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao? Wake up! We've arrived at the border!"

"Ah? So fast?"

"Of course, Haomen isn't very big, so it won't take long to get there by car."

"Oh right, I almost forgot that your entire Haomen city area isn't even as big as Tianjin Tianhai Dongpu International Airport!"

Zhao Ruilong stretched and got out of the car.

The cold air instantly made me feel much more awake.

"I need to wait here for my luggage. Why don't you go through customs first?"

Qiu Yanfei walked around the back of the car and came to Zhao Ruilong, saying...

"It's okay, we'll wait together!"

After saying this, Zhao Ruilong took out cigarettes and offered them to the driver and his entourage.

They then lit cigarettes together, chatting and laughing as they smoked by the roadside.

Seeing Zhao Ruilong, one can see that he is neither a billionaire with immense wealth nor a powerful scion of a privileged family.

Instead, he seems like a small business owner who started from scratch and has always been willing to treat ordinary people at the bottom of society as equals and in a friendly manner.

Qiu Yanfei naturally found it unbelievable!

Although modern civilization has advocated equality for all for many years, China has long since stopped dividing people into different classes.

But in people's subconscious, in the cold and cruel reality of society, class still exists, and there is still a distinction between the noble and the lowly.

When ordinary people face high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities, how many can remain neither arrogant nor servile, and refrain from flattery or fawning?

When working people who need to earn money to support their families face a big boss who can determine their income and even their future, can they really not bow down for a pittance?

Having grown up in Hong Kong and Macau, Qiu Yanfei, along with her relatives and friends, had long been accustomed to the life of the wealthy.

They may be polite and courteous to their servants, drivers, and bodyguards, saying thank you countless times a day, but that doesn't mean it comes from the heart.

Just as they would never eat at the same table as 'servants'.

It's even more impossible for someone like Zhao Ruilong to smoke and chat with other drivers next to roadside trash cans.

This is something that the wealthy elite would never do.

But Zhao Ruilong did more than just that.

He was very natural and easygoing; it wasn't acting at all.

Clearly, he had always maintained an equal and unreserved relationship with his driver, nanny, and guards.

"It seems that the Zhao family, father and son, really meant what they said about coming from the masses and going to the masses!"

"But thinking about it, it makes sense. If you can't even treat the people around you as equals, how can you possibly connect with the masses?"

"The reason why Huilong Group has been able to attract so many talented people and develop so rapidly in recent years is obviously not only because of its good salaries and benefits, but also because the boss is a good person."

"Zhao Ruilong and his sister always put people first, and the employees are dedicated to their work. As word spreads, more and more outstanding talents are joining the group."

"The more talented people we have, the stronger the group becomes; the stronger we are, the more money we can make; and with money, we can naturally ensure high salaries and benefits... It's a virtuous cycle!"

Hearing Zhao Ruilong and the others chatting about casinos in Macau, Qiu Yanfei quickly mustered up her courage and interjected:

"Brother Long is right. It's simply impossible to get rich through gambling."

"Even if you win money in the short term due to good luck, gambling in the long run will inevitably lead to a bad end."

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "President Qiu, the casino is your family's main business. If you say you can't get rich by gambling, aren't you afraid that once word gets out, no one will come to gamble anymore?"

Qiu Yanfei smiled and shook her head.

"Don't worry! People who don't like gambling will never gamble, no matter how you try to lure them in."

"And those who love to gamble, even if you tell them outright that the house has a higher chance of winning, they won't listen!"

"They never believe in probability, only in luck. When they lose, they want to win back their losses; when they win, they want to win more. They won't wake up until they've lost everything."

Zhao Ruilong asked with a smile, "Are there any gamblers who won a lot of money and then never came back?"

"As far as I know, not a single one!"

Qiu Yanfei turned slightly to the side, her gaze fixed on the magnificent hotel.

"Brother Long, you can't imagine what it feels like to win more money in one go at the gambling table than you earn in several months."

"Although I haven't experienced it myself, it's said that the joy of getting something for nothing can make people especially happy and addicted."

"Besides the joy and addiction of winning money, losing money can also stimulate people's competitive spirit, making them unwilling, irritable, and impulsive, leading them to gamble bigger and more aggressively."

"So those who initially win some money end up losing badly, losing everything and even their families. Every year there are quite a few of them."

"On the contrary, those who come to Haomen, try their luck many times but never win, are less likely to become addicted. Some even get so angry that they never gamble again and never come to Haomen again."

Zhao Ruilong nodded repeatedly.

Then he turned to look at the employees of the Land Rover 4S store.

"You all heard what President Qiu just said, right?"

"heard it!"

The group responded in unison.

"Remember what you hear! Working hard and making money is the only way. Don't be tempted to try your luck just because you hear someone has won money at a casino. Once you get addicted, you're doomed!"

Zhao Ruilong didn't want the carefully selected employees he brought to Haomen to become gambling addicts.

Land Rover opened a 4S store in Haomen not with the intention of making money, but with the most important task being to do a good job in marketing and promotion.

In this dazzling and internationally renowned gambling city, it leaves a good brand impression on tourists from all over the world.

If employees become gamblers, unable to focus on their work and only thinking about gambling to get rich, how can they serve customers well and promote their products effectively?

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we definitely won't go in to play around!"

"I hate gambling the most, I've hated it since I was a child!"

"I'd rather believe in free lunches than believe I can get rich through gambling!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, if I were to go to a casino, I would definitely resign first!"

……

Several people were expressing their opinions passionately.

A Mercedes-Benz W140 sedan sped towards us.

Qiu Yanfei hurriedly waved and stepped forward, quickly retrieving the suitcase.

After finding the pass, she smiled and dragged her suitcase to Zhao Ruilong's side.

If you didn't know better, you'd think she was going on her honeymoon with that happy smile on her face.

"You came pretty quickly!"

Zhao Ruilong took a deep drag on his cigarette and then stubbed it out.

I glanced at the few 4S store employees and decided not to bother reminding them anymore.

Saying nice things once is enough.

If they've been vaccinated but still indulge in gambling and prostitution, then they can only blame themselves for lacking self-control.

Entering the port building, we queued up to prepare for customs clearance back to the inland.

Perhaps because of the New Year's Day holiday, there were quite a few people crossing the border.

Long queues formed at every passageway.

Walking and stopping intermittently, Zhao Ruilong soon became drowsy.

Involuntarily, I leaned against the railing and dozed off.

A loud voice suddenly came from the right.

"Huh, Zhao Ruilong?"

"Who?"

"Hey, it really is you!"

Zhao Ruilong tried hard to recall who the man in front of him, wearing a hat and with a grin on his face, was.

It looks so familiar, but I just can't remember where I've seen it before.

"What? You don't recognize me after only two or three years?"

The man took off his hat, pointed to his own nose, and laughed:

"I am Zhou Anquan!"

"We've shared a cell in Jingzhou Prison for so many years, have you forgotten?"

Searching through his fragmented memories, Zhao Ruilong finally remembered.

No wonder this guy looked familiar; it turns out he was my cellmate from the same cell!

But he had long forgotten most of his memories of his predecessor.

They didn't even know whether their relationship was good or bad while they were in prison.

However, the other party had already called out the name and specifically mentioned Jingzhou Prison.

Zhao Ruilong also wanted to pretend he didn't know him.

"Oh, I remember now."

"Sorry, you were wearing a hat, I didn't recognize you!"

Zhou Anquan chuckled and put on his hat, covering his bald head.

"It's okay. I didn't recognize you at first glance either. Besides, I've been eating and drinking a lot since I got out, and I've gained 30 pounds compared to when I was in prison."

Zhao Ruilong gave an awkward but polite smile.

"Yes, you look much more prosperous than before, I almost didn't recognize you. It seems you've really made a fortune since you came out!"

Zhou Anquan exclaimed "Oh dear!" and waved his hand in a feignedly modest manner.

"What big fortune? It's just about making a living!"

Despite speaking humbly, Zhou Anquan placed his hand heavily on the railing between the two of them after he finished speaking.

In this way, his Rolex mechanical watch was 'inadvertently' revealed.

This little act of flaunting wealth, of course, did not escape Zhao Ruilong's notice.

But Zhao Ruilong only glanced at it with a faint smile.

Regardless of whether Zhou Anquan's Rolex watch was real or fake, he felt no envy whatsoever.

At this moment, Zhou Anquan asked with a carefree, teasing laugh:

"You look drowsy and sleepy, like you haven't woken up properly!"

"What's wrong? Did you not win any money at Haomen and now you're all listless?"
