her spoke up. She looked like a shrewd and capable woman, currently holding an important position in the CPPCC. She was a formidable woman, and not someone to be trifled with! One could feel this just...Their hearts were destined to be restless that day.
Toleration, he was once the faith of many people. They trusted him, followed him, and even some blindly worshipped him. His departure left many feeling lost and heartbroken. There was even a time when young men from the Rong family collectively came forward to offer their services, eager to continue following him. Deep down, they hoped to have such a leader. Men, or perhaps women too, have blood in their bones, yearning for achievements and recognition. Such displays are the result of aspiring to be outstanding talents in the business world under the guidance of their esteemed leader.
After Rong Qikeng came to power, he did achieve some results, but to be honest, they were not very outstanding. Most of his achievements seemed to be limited to domestic affairs, which he obtained through the power of the Rong family and the He family. This is similar to many family-owned businesses in China. This kind of achievement simply cannot compare to Rong Ling. Rong Ling's vision was international; he truly earned money from foreigners. That was impressive, that made people feel powerful all over, that made people feel proud and confident, that made people feel truly arrogant and disdainful of their peers!
Compared to Rong Lingyi, Rong Qikeng appears dull and lackluster. Furthermore, Rong Qikeng has too many scandals. Although it is understandable that men are naturally flirtatious, for a subordinate, especially a male one, to have some romantic rumors about their superiors isn't entirely out of the ordinary. However, Rong Qikeng's actions are excessive. His near abandonment of his wife for an outside mistress previously made his subordinates feel like their boss wasn't responsible. This creates a crisis of trust!
How can this be compared to Rong Ling!
He was a man of integrity, and later he chose love over power, resolutely giving up the position of chairman of the Asia-East Group, which could drive most people mad. What an elegant and noble spirit! Many subordinates were awed by his departure, though they lamented it. Thinking about it from his perspective, at least they couldn't be sure if they had the courage to give up such wealth and status. Moreover, they would have to endure the relentless pursuit and harassment that followed him relentlessly!
This point of Rong Qi's is also what some underlings dislike. After all, as the chairman of Asia-East Group, he could have anything he wanted, yet he was so petty towards someone who didn't want anything. This really lacks a broad mind and demeanor!
In short, when compared, Rong Qikeng is full of flaws.
And this morning, there was big news. The project that the company had spent most of its energy on negotiating suddenly received a ruthless rejection from the American side, completely ending any possibility of cooperation. This is a huge shock and pain for everyone in the company. Over the past few weeks, many people have been putting all their energy into this project. If it had succeeded, we could imagine that at least the East Asia Group's profits for the second half of the year would be guaranteed. But now, the plan has fallen apart!
Nearly a month's worth of effort, reduced to ashes. This is something no one can accept. As a result, the people below once again questioned Rong Qikeng's ability. To be honest, this project was originally won by Rong Ling's team who had been negotiating in stages. When Rong Ling left, the project had already made considerable progress. However, after Rong Qikeng took over, many people were replaced in the team. And under such seemingly favorable circumstances, the US side refused to cooperate! This inevitably leads people to speculate: if Rong Ling was still there, if it was still his team leading the charge, then this project should have been finalized by now. After all, during Rong Ling's tenure, he basically didn't fight battles without a guarantee of success. As long as the other party showed any willingness to cooperate at the beginning, they would definitely win them over in the end!
In the morning, everyone seemed downcast. Many people didn't have a smile on their faces. The smoking area was bustling with activity, people coming and going, exhaling clouds of smoke like something that had lost its fire and was emitting thick smoke.
The news that Rong Ling suddenly became the president of Shuangmu Group cast a gloom over some people. Their former boss was so dazzlingly brilliant, but behind this glory, they were absent. Some were excited, thinking that it was worthy of being the big boss, he could be king wherever he went. However, after the excitement subsided, they also felt gloomy because it wasn't their big boss anymore.
Of course, there are those who envy and hate. Those who envy naturally side with Rong Qikeng's faction. Speaking of hatred, Rong Qikeng is the one who hates the most. He just couldn't figure out how Rong Ling could get involved with Shuangmu!
Yes, the three people who often appear in Shuangmu Group now, Shi Yu, Xiao Qiang, and Yu Xu, are Rong Ling's sworn brothers. There are also rumors in the industry that Shuangmu seems to have a mysterious boss. He had secretly inquired before, and after becoming the head of the Rong family, he directly used his power to put pressure on relevant departments to investigate the mysterious boss behind Shuangmu. The final result showed that Shi Yu is indeed the president of Shuangmu and holds more than 50% of the shares.
> Because he was certain of this, he went all out to suppress Rong Ling without any hesitation, and didn't care at all about the impression that he would appear "cruel" in others' eyes. He didn't believe in things like brotherhood at all. In the face of profit, brotherhood was nothing but empty words. For example, him and Rong Ling. They were even born from the same father, but in the end, it wasn't "me" or "him"!
Even if some of Rong Ling's brothers wanted to help him, what could they do!
He simply couldn't fathom it, Rong Ling suddenly becoming the largest shareholder of Shuangmu Group. He couldn't believe that Shi Yu would so readily hand over his shares to Rong Ling. Shuangmu Group was huge, that was money, pure money! For a formal document confirming assets under his name, Shi Yu was out of his mind to simply transfer them, allowing Rong Ling to become the CEO of Shuangmu in one fell swoop.
In the newspaper article, Rong Ling said that it was his idea, thanks to the help of several of his brothers. What puzzled him was that were his brothers all saints, willing to work so hard for Rong Ling And what confused him most was Shi Yu, who actually kept those shares safe for so many years without any hesitation. In the end, when Rong Ling arrived, he could only be relegated to second place. How could he accept that!
This was simply incredible in Rong Qikeng's eyes!
There's also the fact that he's very jealous and unwilling to accept things. They share the same father, so why is it that his brother can work at such a relaxed pace, with ease, and even have the American time to start his own company But look at him, all he does is company stuff and doesn't have much free time left.
Could it be that his brain is shaped like an alien's!
As brothers from the same family, why would heaven make such a huge difference between them How unfair!
The cooperation project with the American side has fallen through. At this moment, Rong Ling is accompanied by his wife, holding champagne and celebrating with others, accepting compliments while also bearing the blow of failure and the disappointment in his subordinates' eyes!
"Damn it!"
Unable to contain himself, he let out a low curse. Fuming with rage, he reached out and violently swept the files off the table. The white papers filled with black ink seemed like a chilling mockery in his face!
His mother's call came with a frantic tone, "Did you see Rong Ling became the new CEO of Shuangmu Group" He replied impatiently, "I saw it," and hung up the phone.
He's just the CEO of Shuangmu Group, what's there to be afraid of! Mother, you don't have to be so flustered! Shuangmu has been around for years, while their Yadong Group has been around for even longer. Just a single Shuangmu, despite its current popularity, we can see through it as we go along.
But it's just a facade, isn't it He's being overdramatic! Perhaps he thinks too much. Rong Ling isn't that powerful at all. This CEO position is simply his brothers pitying him and giving it to him out of sympathy. It's just for show!
But this kind of psychological comfort can only last for a few minutes. After a few minutes, even he couldn't convince himself. No one is that foolish to joke around with such a large stake. (..tw no pop-up ads) Nor would any big company be so childish. The position of CEO isn't like acting, where you can just put anyone up there whenever you want. Once you're done playing, you can just replace them.
This heart, it just skipped a beat. Because, Rong Qikeng suddenly remembered Rong Ling's warning to him earlier.
"I will give you a big gift... That taste, it will definitely make you unforgettable for life..."
His face changed color!
Because he suddenly remembered the failed negotiations!
This came out of nowhere, with no warning at all. They just said they wouldn't talk anymore and that was it. Our side tried to sincerely ask for a reason, but even though their tone was polite, their refusal was absolute and there was no room for negotiation.
"Sorry, we feel your company is not a good fit for this project at this time!"
Pass gas!
If they, the Asia Eastern Group, truly did not have the qualifications, it should have been made clear from the very beginning of the negotiations. It was precisely because their initial qualification review passed that subsequent contacts and negotiations were possible. Now, this reason for rejection is simply not justifiable. However, the infuriating thing is, no matter how you try to beat around the bush, feign ignorance, probe deeper, or use clever tactics, the answer remains consistently the same!
He thought again, this project, it was Rong Ling who intervened at the beginning!
The more I thought about it, the less it made sense!
He fell for it, he fell for Rong Ling's trickery. He had been wary of Rong Ling playing dirty tricks from the start, so he resolutely cut off several contracts that he had approved with his signature. The reason he kept the plan proposed by Meifang Company was because Rong Ling had just joined the company then, and he happened to have an old friend who held a high position there. After repeatedly confirming with his friend, he thought it was foolproof, Rong Ling couldn't possibly cause any trouble. Besides, the profit after the deal was concluded was incredibly tempting, a major accomplishment since taking office, which would certainly establish his absolute authority in the shortest time possible. So, he seized the opportunity and poured all his effort into it.
But now it's over!
It must be Rong Ling, it must be Rong Ling...
He murmured nervously, his handsome face flushing alternately red and white. Fuming with anger, he picked up the phone and dialed Rong Ling's number. To his surprise, his call went through this time, despite Rong Ling's usual reluctance to answer him!
Everything went smoothly!
And Rong Ling, waited for a long time!
"It was you, wasn't it It was you! I know it was you!" He hissed nervously, his voice rising in a series of strained whispers.
"I don't quite understand what you're saying!"
Rong Lingqi calmly replied, this calmness making Rong Qinkeng even more agitated and frantic.
“Stop pretending, I know it's you. You set this trap for me from the very beginning, didn't you! You said you would give me a lifetime unforgettable gift, is this what you meant Rong Ling, you're ruthless, you're so cruel. But let me tell you, this is absolutely betraying your own family, being heartless and disloyal. The Rong family raised you up, but in the end, this is how you repay them You think this way hurts me, but you are damaging the interests of the entire Rong family. You ungrateful wretch, you don't deserve to be a member of the Rong family at all! Where have you put the overall interests of our Rong family!”
"Hmph..." Rong Ling chuckled lightly, "You keep saying I'm part of the Rong family That has to be the funniest joke I've heard this century! Don't you ever think I belong to the Rong family, Rong Qikeng! Now you try to claim me as yours How ridiculous is that. And let me remind you, once I left that door, anything about the Rong family had nothing to do with me. Back then, no one stopped me, and they didn't even think of me as a part of the Rong family. So don't keep saying I'm from the Rong family! Not every single person with the surname Rong has to belong to your Rong family!"
"You..."
Rong Qikeng was speechless for a moment, his face flushed with the shame of being mercilessly ridiculed. Fortunately, his expression wouldn't be seen by Rong Ling, so he quickly changed his mind and steered the conversation away from this topic that had left him completely flustered.
"Aren't you feeling pretty smug now!" He was still bitter, he could never tolerate being humiliated and belittled by Rong Ling. He couldn't stand being suppressed by him, especially now that the tables had turned and he was the one on top. Whether it was based on their brotherhood or their business status,
"It's just a failed negotiation, what does it matter to the powerful Yadon As long as we, Yadon, are willing, there will be plenty of companies vying for our olive branch. Rong Ling, don't get cocky! You're just the CEO of Shuangmu Group, what can you possibly compare to us, Yadon, hmph..."
He managed to convince himself first, his confidence swelled again, so he smiled self-satisfactorily.
"Don't laugh too soon!" Rong Ling said languidly, his words like a basin of cold water, capable of extinguishing the flames in other people's hearts in an instant. "Wait until you receive all my gifts, and then you can laugh. At that time, you can laugh heartily, however you want. But my suggestion is, you better find a private room and laugh by yourself."
Even when he smiles, it should be a tearful smile!
If he can throw away this person, then let him laugh while crying in front of everyone!
The underlying meaning of these words awakened Rong Qikeng.
"What do you mean!" His smart brain started whirring at high speed, but in the process of turning, all he could imagine was one more shocking scenario than the last.
"You're not done!" he exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.
"This is just the beginning, how could it end so soon!" The weight isn't enough, this wouldn't be a grand gift.
Rong Qi's breathing became heavy immediately. His palm, gripping the microphone tightly, veins exposed, looked abnormally ferocious and terrifying, making one worry if the blood in his vessels would burst out directly. After a brief blank in his mind, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and the muscles on his face tightened, becoming somewhat grotesque.
"
Don't go too far!
"
But this warning, it was as powerless as a child playing house. Rong Ling, was he someone who would stop just because someone warned him!
"I will make you unforgettable!" He still said that, his voice filled with conviction.
Rong Qikeng was like a firecracker that had just been lit, exploding with a loud bang.
"Who's afraid of who!" he roared angrily, like an enraged bull, his voice crashing and thundering. "If you have the guts, come at me! I'm not afraid of you! Rong Ling, I'll kill you!"
"Well, I have to admit, I admire you!"
He suddenly blurted that out, leaving Rong Qikeng stunned. Rong Ling said "I admire him", did he say that He must have said that, right But heaven knows, why would he say something like that at this moment! And the worst part is, he couldn't control the smug feeling rising within him!
This annoying little brat actually said he admires him!
At last, he had a little bit of sense and said something human.
But Rong Ling's next words immediately turned his smugness into nothingness. It became cold, a piercing cold.
“I always feel that a real man couldn't stand it if a woman got pregnant by stealing his sperm, because that looks really pathetic. But He Ya stole your sperm, got pregnant with your child, and you tolerated it, and even get along well with her. In this regard, I admire you. You are indeed more tolerant than other men!”
It took Rong Qikeng a full two minutes to process Rong Ling's words. He just stood there, holding the phone, motionless as if frozen. When he finally thawed, his arms began to tremble slightly, nervously. A chill ran through him, a coldness that went deep into his bones.
"You goddamn better explain to me what the hell is going on!"
Such admiration is simply the greatest insult to a man. You, Rong Ling, as expected, can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth. Damn it, is he impotent, lacking sperm, having a low mirror survival rate, or simply incapable of getting a woman pregnant normally He's actually reduced to making women carry his sperm to get pregnant!
Shame!
It's such a shame!
"That's all there is to it. You always thought you were so smart, didn't you Well, go check then. I've said everything clearly. Of course, if you're impatient, I think you should just ask He's family directly, you should find out the whole story right away! This can be considered one of my gifts to you, hope you enjoy it!"
The last words that would kill someone came out of his mouth, Rong Ling hung up the phone neatly!
He said it, and he would avenge his darling. And now, it’s time! He’d already given that woman, He Ya, enough face, but she was shameless and came to humiliate his darling, indirectly leading to her near-death. This score must be settled.
Rong Qikeng was ultimately too angry. Unable to control his rage, he actually crushed the microphone in his hand.
Rong Ling wouldn't utter nonsensical or unfounded words. Every statement he made had a reason behind it. Although this infuriated Rong Qikeng, who resented his deep-seated ability to convince people with his words, he couldn't deny the fact that he believed everything Rong Ling said!
He Ya's pregnancy is a result of artificial insemination, oh no, it's that he stole his sperm to get her pregnant! This is simply too hateful. If this gets out, his reputation will be ruined. He'll be laughed at by everyone. What kind of spineless man uses such a method to get a woman pregnant!
As soon as he thought about He Ya's attentiveness and care over the past period, he became furious!
He Ya is too much!
The He family is too arrogant!
This is simply unbearable!
Is he just a fool to be played with
Filled with rage, he could not bear it any longer. He stormed out of his office and strode towards the parking lot below!
He had only just gotten into the car, the ignition key hadn't even been inserted yet, when a phone call came in. He picked it up and saw that it was his father - Rong Fei Wu!
He was thinking that his father calling at this time probably wasn't good news. He didn't want to answer, but unlike his own parents, he needed to show respect to his father, the former head of the household. One aspect of this was that he couldn't just refuse his calls without a proper reason!
After receiving it, he shouted, "Dad."
"You're not supposed to be leaving now, you should be staying at the company! Why are you running out at a time like this" Rong Feiwu spoke, launching into a verbal attack.
Rong Fei Wu had a lot of anger bottled up inside him, his rage could erupt like a volcano. Hearing Rong Fei Wu's scolding, he immediately snapped.
"You're spying on me! You sent people to spy on me!" He roared, his voice filled with rage. The shout echoed through the silent parking lot, sounding both frightening and intimidating.
Rong Fei was silent for a full two seconds before opening his mouth to defend himself. "I wasn't watching you," he said. "Someone saw you leave and called me!"
Fang Qi immediately snorted coldly. Nonsense, nonsense, at this point, what can all this talk cover up Does it mean even his own father thinks he's a fool Even if what his father said is true, someone saw him and called, why did that person call his father when his father was no longer in office, retired for a long time Unless it was his father's instruction, why would that person specifically inform him!
Anger, despair, and an inexplicable sadness were intertwined in his heart. Meng laughed, then stood with Rong Ling and watched the six people scramble out of the door, then watched as two cars drove away.Now it's quiet!"Here you go!" Lin Meng handed the phone in her hand to...
