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

Chapter 234 What is there to be afraid of in Tian Guofu? Zhao Lichun broadens his perspective!

Tian Guofu parachuted into Handong?

Zhao Ruilong couldn't have asked for this more.

In the original drama, Tian Guofu was portrayed as a despicable and repulsive villain.

He said that others were power-hungry, but he himself really wanted to climb the ladder.

He was determined to bring down Gao Yuliang so that he could advance his own career.

Therefore, he not only loves to gossip behind people's backs, but also loves to be sarcastic and sarcastic.

He despised and kicked Qi Tongwei, Gao Yuliang, and others when they were down.

For example, when he was having dinner with Sha Ruijin, Sha Ruijin asked him what he thought of Gao Yuliang.

He immediately said he didn't like the professor, and then went on and on about how he didn't want Gao Yuliang to make the recommendation successful and didn't want Qi Tongwei to become a deputy provincial-level official.

As a disciplinary inspector, how can one use words like "like" or "dislike" to evaluate a high-ranking official like Gao Yuliang?

Moreover, if they have opinions, they don't express them face-to-face at the meeting, but complain privately after the meeting, claiming it's because they're concerned about the impact.

There was one more time.

Sha Ruijin and Gao Yuliang were having a good chat.

Gao Yuliang frankly admitted that he had been a law professor at Handong University for many years, and it was inevitable that he would have some bias when it came to hiring people.

Sha Ruijin didn't respond, but Tian Guofu immediately said sarcastically, "For example, Qi Tongwei, Comrade Yuliang just favors the older one."

To target Gao Yuliang like this in front of Sha Ruijin, without the slightest tact or politeness, is no less than a direct slap in the face.

And what about Tian Guofu and Sha Ruijin?

He not only obeyed his every word, but also flattered him.

The most typical example is when he accompanied Sha Ruijin to visit Yi Xuexi's home in the drama.

Sha Ruijingang commented that Mao Ya's homegrown tea was good, with a strong aroma.

Tian Guofu immediately said that it was indeed very good, with a special fragrance!

This isn't just praising the tea for its aroma.

This is clearly flattery of Sha Ruijin!

nowadays.

After Tang Zhisheng succeeded Liang Qunfeng as the Deputy Secretary and Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs of Handong Province, his original position as Secretary of Discipline Inspection and Supervision became vacant.

For such an important position, Zhao Lichun naturally wanted to recommend one of his own people, but Zhao Ruilong did not want him to achieve a 'perfect' personnel reshuffle.

If everyone from the provincial five-person group to the top officials of various cities and counties is filled with people associated with Zhao Lichun, it will inevitably attract criticism.

In the original drama, Sha Ruijin once said that Zhao Lichun, during his tenure in Handong, practiced a one-man rule.

The Organization Department is no longer the organization department of the state and the people, but has become Zhao Lichun's organization department.

To avoid repeating the same mistakes and attracting criticism.

This prevents people from perceiving the father as not being the head of the household, but rather as a tyrant.

Zhao Ruilong decisively stopped his father from making the recommendation.

Moreover, I think it's actually a good thing that Tian Guofu, that scoundrel, has come to Handong.

At least compared to a complete stranger, Tian Guofu, whom they knew well, was easier to deal with.

but……

Zhao Ruilong's words left Zhao Lichun confused.

"No, it's one thing for you not to let me recommend my own people, but why are you so eager for Tian Guofu to come to Handong? Are you very close to him? Or is he one of our own?"

Zhao Ruilong shook his head slightly.

“I’m not familiar with him, and he’s not one of our own.”

"But I think it's not a bad thing if Elder Ge really sends Tian Guofu to Handong."

"Think about it, if a complete stranger were parachuted in, it would take us a lot of time and effort to figure out whether he was a human or a ghost."

“If Tian Guofu comes to Handong, we don’t need to guess or test him; we’ll know he’s here to monitor us, or even to trip us up.”

Zhao Lichun nodded slightly.

“That makes sense. As soon as he arrives, you’ll know he’s up to no good.”

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "Actually, his arrival is also beneficial to us."

"Really? His coming would be good for us?"

Zhao Lichun was both amused and exasperated.

"Of course there is!"

Zhao Ruilong flicked away his cigarette ash and said slowly:

"Think about it from another perspective. Old Ge doesn't want you to improve, but he can't openly suppress you or prevent you from achieving results."

"Then the only reason he sent Tian Guofu to Handong is to use his authority to target your people and find fault with them in every possible way."

"Wouldn't he actually play a very good supervisory role in this way, and effectively curb corruption?"

Zhao Lichun gave an awkward smile.

"That's true. He came to Handong with a mission, so he will definitely do his job as the supervisor and secretary well."

"I wish I could use a microscope every day to carefully observe the people I promote and give important positions to see if they have any problems!"

"Our Handong economy is developing very rapidly right now, and there is a lot of room for rent-seeking. We really need a responsible and dedicated disciplinary inspector to supervise the team properly!"

At this point, Zhao Lichun changed the subject.

"Speaking of economic development, isn't the United States planning to organize a business delegation to come to our Dragon Country to explore investment opportunities?"

“Your second brother-in-law said that the current itinerary is to go to Yanjing, Tianhai and Shenzhen. I plan to think of a way to get them to come to Jingzhou before they go back to Yanjing.”

"If we can attract some investment projects, it will be of great benefit to the development of Jingzhou City and even the entire Handong Province. What do you think we should do to attract them to Jingzhou?"

Zhao Ruilong chuckled and shook his head.

"I think we should stop arguing about this."

"Not to mention that our Handong Province has become a pilot area for high-quality economic development, which is already enough to make people envious."

“Those large international companies from the United States are all very shrewd and opportunistic. They will only invest where the preferential conditions are most attractive.”

"Do we have the strength to compete with those first-tier cities on preferential conditions? The purpose of our investment promotion is to improve economic development, not to increase the financial burden!"

"Besides, our Handong Province is developing rapidly and well according to the established plan. I have also brought in a lot of investment from abroad. Is it necessary to compete for it? You won't get much benefit, and you'll only offend people. Why bother?"

"..."

Zhao Lichun was stunned.

In recent years, we have been focused on developing the economy.

In terms of attracting investment, the habit of "the more the better" has long been cultivated.

So when they heard that a business delegation from the United States was coming to visit...

His idea, of course, was to bring the inspection team to Handong and attract them to invest.

"Dad, what are you standing there for?"

"Things are different now. We are developing rapidly and our team is being reorganized smoothly."

"In just two or three years, the economy of Handong will reach a new level, and the proportion of high-end manufacturing will become increasingly larger."

"Simply put, barring any major unforeseen events, you will quickly achieve remarkable results and advance further."

"So from now on, you need to broaden your perspective. You can't just keep thinking about how well Handong will develop. You need to prepare for the next stage!"

Father, like son.

Zhao Ruilong had already seen the trend clearly and knew that his father's advancement was basically a foregone conclusion.

But Zhao Lichun, who is involved in the matter, is clearly unaware of this and is still thinking about making Handong develop faster and better.

"No, isn't it?"

"I've only been the top leader of Handong for about six months!"

"There are still four and a half years left before the first five-year term ends. If I were to serve two consecutive terms, it would be like I've only just begun..."

Before Zhao Lichun could finish speaking, Zhao Ruilong stood up and walked straight to the national map hanging on the side wall.

He raised his hand and tapped twice, then turned his head solemnly and asked:

"Given the current development momentum of Handong, which of the more than thirty provinces can compete with it?"

"The Southwest, Northwest and Northeast are not even worth considering. The three provinces of Zhongjiang, Hanjiang and Linjiang are also clearly not qualified."

"And the top official of Dongguang Province is already a high-ranking official, so looking around, there really isn't a single decent opponent."

"So don't even think about serving two consecutive terms in Handong. I guarantee that before this term even expires, Handong's GDP will very likely surpass Dongguang and become the number one economic province in the country!"

Zhao Lichun couldn't sit still any longer.

She slowly got up, went to her son's side, and looked at the national map with a serious expression.

Handong's economy was already much stronger than that of other provinces.

Nowadays, they are also vigorously promoting high-quality economic development, including the development of electronic information, the construction of high-speed railways, and the manufacturing of airplanes.

Driven by investments of trillions of yuan, Handong Province's economy is growing rapidly, and it's only a matter of time before it surpasses Dongguang Province.

Compared to other provinces, none can compare.

For example, everyone knows that to get rich, you must first build roads, and building high-speed rail can greatly boost economic development.

But the average cost per kilometer is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. How many provinces can afford to play this game?

Who doesn't know that developing high-end manufacturing yields high profits, low pollution, and significant ripple effects?

But semiconductors, large aircraft, new materials, new energy...

Once these high-tech industries develop, they can provide a large number of high-paying jobs, generate substantial tax revenue, drive the development of many upstream and downstream enterprises, promote consumer economic growth, and benefit the service industry.

From research and development to manufacturing, from component production to raw material supply, the supply chains of these high-tech industries are incredibly vast, often involving tens of thousands of companies and creating millions of high-quality jobs.

But everyone knows the benefits, but before it develops and before products are launched to make money and recoup losses, how many provinces can withstand the daily investment of hundreds of millions of dollars?

The reason why Handong Province was able to do this was not because Handong Province was so rich, but because its precious son Zhao Ruilong was too capable.

I don't know what methods he used to attract more than 200 billion US dollars in investment from abroad, which is equivalent to more than one trillion.

Furthermore, Huilong Group continues to generate profits and make investments through opening chain internet cafes and selling electronic products.

It is precisely because of the strong support of Huilong Group that Handong Province is able to vigorously develop high technology with its abundant resources.

So think about it this way.

It's impossible for him to be transferred away from Handong in 2011.

It is very likely that he was promoted and transferred away from Handong in 2006, or even earlier.

Given the current context of vigorously developing the economy and building a moderately prosperous society.

President Shen clearly didn't want him to go to Yanjing.

It is highly likely that he will be transferred to Guangdong Province or a municipality directly under the central government to serve as a high-ranking local leader for five years.

He thus leveraged his expertise in economics and his son Zhao Ruilong's exceptional investment skills to drive the local economy to take off.

Given this career path...

I really need to plan ahead.

Moreover, even if he serves two terms, he will most likely be transferred away from Handong in 2011 and will not stay here for the rest of his life.

Attracting a delegation of American business representatives to invest in Handong is merely icing on the cake for Handong, which is already experiencing rapid growth.

However, for other provinces and cities that are developing at a much slower pace, American investment is extremely important, like sending charcoal in snowy weather.

and so……

Whether from a holistic perspective, for balanced development, or from the perspective of one's personal career, it's best to avoid doing things that offend others.

They should all listen to their son's advice, broaden their horizons, and avoid participating in the competition.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"We will not recommend our own people to serve as disciplinary inspectors or supervisors, nor will we compete with major cities for inspection teams!"

"Let's just follow the established plan and double Handong's economy by 2006, that's definitely achievable!"

Just as Zhao Ruilong was about to say something in agreement, there was a loud knock on the door.

Upon hearing the commotion, Zhao Ruilong knew without asking that it must be his formidable older sister, Zhao Runan.

Only she would knock on the door as if it were being smashed.

"coming!"

Zhao Ruilong stepped forward to open the door.

She discovered that not only her eldest sister Zhao Runan was standing outside the door, but her second sister Zhao Xiaohui had also arrived.

"Have you two finished discussing it?"

"Oh no, you need to talk to Dad?"

"I'm looking for you too!"

Zhao Runan strode into the study, followed closely by Zhao Xiaohui, who closed the door behind her.

"You two are up here, where's the child?"

Zhao Ruilong asked curiously.

"Your wife and Lao Liu are playing with them!"

After replying, Zhao Runan pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Ruilong, come here!"

"what happened?"

Zhao Ruilong stepped forward slowly.

I had a bad feeling; it didn't seem like my older sister wanted to discuss something, but rather that she wanted to interrogate me.

“It’s just our family here. Dad’s study has anti-eavesdropping devices installed, so you don’t have to worry about being overheard.”

"Now you'd better tell us the truth, have you ever thought about marrying Lu Yike?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhao Ruilong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that his hacking skills had been discovered, allowing him to make money from overseas.

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"why?"

Zhao Ruinan glared at her and said, "You're already twenty-nine years old, you're not young anymore."

"When Dad was twenty-nine, I was already born and could walk, and Mom was pregnant with your second sister. And what about you? You were still playing among the flowers all day long, having a great time, weren't you?"

Zhao Ruilong smiled wryly and said, "What do you mean? Don't make it sound like I'm a womanizer."

"You're not a womanizer? Humph, don't think I don't know how many women you have in Luzhou!"

Zhao Runan raised her voice and glared angrily.

"Hey, sister, let's talk things out. Don't get emotional! Besides, those girls like Ruilong willingly. Nobody forced them."

As soon as Zhao Xiaohui finished speaking, she was glared at angrily by Zhao Runan.

"You and Dad can spoil him as much as you want. If you spoil him into a playboy, you'll be happy."

"It's not that serious."

Zhao Lichun interjected with a laugh, "Besides, even if your brother wants to get married, he still has to ask Lu Yike's opinion!"

"In addition, Ruilong told me before that it would be best for him and Lu Yike not to register their marriage, otherwise their offspring would be affected."

"What impact?"

Zhao Runan asked bluntly.

"Have you forgotten, Ruilong... cough cough..."

Zhao Xiaohui winked and made faces, as if afraid that her older sister had forgotten that her younger brother had been to prison and had a criminal record.

If he were to register his marriage with Lu Yike, their children would be barred from taking civil service exams or joining the military, thus wasting their excellent family background.

After realizing what was happening, Zhao Runan immediately changed her words:

"Even if you don't register your marriage, you should still have a wedding banquet so everyone knows you're married!"

"Otherwise, are you going to let her stay with you for life without any status or recognition? Even if she's willing, her parents probably aren't, right?"

"Only if you two get married can our Zhao and Lu families achieve a true alliance and take our relationship to the next level..."

"and many more!"

Zhao Ruilong stepped forward and asked with a sneer:

"You're so eager for me to marry Lu Yike, isn't there an ulterior motive behind it?"

"I don't!"

"Stop pretending! Your brother-in-law's rank was already higher than yours. He earned a first-class merit this year and has also entered the carrier-based aircraft pilot training course. His rank will definitely be promoted. He might even become a general in the future. With your strong personality, would you be willing to fall too far behind?"

"I'm not jealous of him. He earned his promotion through hard work!"

Zhao Runan spoke with great conviction, but her gaze avoided Zhao Ruilong.

"Then I want to get to know Lu Yike better over time, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"What's there to get used to?"

Zhao Runan stood up impatiently.

"Don't you want your dad to have a grandson soon?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "There's one downstairs. Want to hold your grandson? It's that simple!"

"you……"

Zhao Runan was furious and reached out to grab Zhao Ruilong's ear.

Fortunately, at that moment, Zhao Lichun's personal cell phone suddenly rang.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Zhao Lichun quickly answered the phone.

After hanging up the phone a moment later, he looked at Zhao Ruilong with suspicion.

"It's not Tian Guofu, it's Luo Shanhe!!"
