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

"What the hell?"

"Set off for Jinghai immediately?"

"Don't you even look at the time? Are there still high-speed trains running?"

After Zhao Ruilong asked three questions in quick succession, Zhao Ruilong was straightforward.

Seeing her second sister's bewildered expression, she immediately realized she had let something slip.

damn it.

Where are there high-speed trains in China right now?

The first experimental high-speed rail line is estimated to have started construction in the Northeast last year.

It's not even finished and open to traffic yet.

It is far too early for the railway department to adopt a "market-for-technology" strategy to introduce advanced foreign high-speed rail technology.

and so……

"What did you say? What is a high-speed rail?"

Zhao Xiaohui frowned and asked curiously.

"A high-speed train that can run at speeds of over 300 kilometers per hour has been around for a long time abroad."

Before Zhao Xiaohui could ask any more questions, Zhao Ruilong quickly added:

"Between Handong and Linjiang, there are two provinces, Hanjiang and Zhongjiang."

"But neither Luzhou nor Jinghai are the provincial capitals of those two provinces, and there are no direct flights or trains between them. How are we going to get there?"

Zhao Xiaohui replied without hesitation, "Of course we'll take a car!"

"Our hotel recently bought a Buick GL8 minivan, which is perfect for long-distance travel."

"Let's bring two more drivers and take turns driving. It's over a thousand kilometers, and we should be able to reach Jinghai by tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Ruilong shook his head decisively.

"No, no, no, the journey is so long, and driving at night is too dangerous."

"I'd rather rush back to Jingzhou first and take a plane to Jinghai tomorrow during the day!"

Having just transmigrated, I haven't even had a chance to enjoy the happiness of being the Crown Prince of Handong.

She hasn't even had a chance to experience the gentleness of the Gao sisters.

Wouldn't it be a huge loss if I died in a car accident?

"Then I'll call right away and have someone buy two plane tickets for us."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaohui was about to make a phone call.

Zhao Ruilong quickly reminded him, "Buy three tickets and bring Du Bozhong along too. If he doesn't see for himself how good the Little Smart phone business is, he won't give up the idea of ​​building a food court!"

After a while.

After making the call, Zhao Xiaohui also called Du Bozhong over.

Upon learning of the food court project, Gao Yuliang refused to approve it.

After being persuaded by the siblings, they agreed to go to Jinghai to investigate the business of PHS phones.

"Fine, anyway, the purpose of doing business is to make money."

Zhao Ruilong could not hide his joy.

"now it's right!"

What's so interesting about that food court?

"It is neither compliant nor environmentally friendly, and it will take a long time and a lot of costs to build and rent or sell it."

"In comparison, we should have Hantong Telecom quickly build base stations and start services in various places so that we can open stores and sell PHS phones. We can start making money very soon!"

Du Bozhong smiled with a hint of doubt.

"We haven't even gone to Jinghai yet, how can you be so sure we can make money?"

Zhao Ruilong gave a contemptuous sneer.

"This isn't what I said, it's what my second uncle said."

"He's the clerk of the Jinghai Political and Legal Affairs Bureau, do you think he would have any reason to lie to us?"

Du Bozhong nodded slightly.

"Alright, let's set off for Jingzhou now!"

……

ten minutes later.

A brand new Buick GL8 drove onto the highway.

Zhao Ruilong observed for a while.

We have found that even though the reform and opening up has been going on for more than 20 years, the economy has developed rapidly.

However, in Handong in 2000, there were still not many private cars on the highway.

Moreover, the highway, which was built many years ago, still has a cement surface.

Not only are there many seams, resulting in noticeable bumps, but the tire noise is also particularly loud.

In addition, there was the first-generation Buick GL8 business van.

Not only was the configuration rudimentary, but the center console only had a tape recorder for playing cassette tapes, offering absolutely no entertainment.

Currently, car manufacturers do not pay much attention to sound insulation and noise reduction, so the noise inside the car is quite noticeable.

In addition, along the way, the old-fashioned keypad phones had intermittent signal, let alone internet access.

this moment.

Zhao Ruilong began to miss the time before he transmigrated.

That relatively smoother and quieter asphalt road surface...

Those new energy commercial vehicles that utilize extensive sound insulation and noise reduction technologies and materials...

That smartphone that allows you to chat and watch short videos almost anywhere you go...

ding dong~

Zhao Xiaohui unlocks her phone.

"Dad replied to my message and said he'd talk to me tonight."

"Okay!"

Zhao Ruilong closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

She secretly planned that since her older sister had already agreed, she could persuade Zhao Lichun that evening.

As long as he agrees not to go through with the food court project, my first system task will be complete.

at dusk.

The siblings got off the bus at the entrance of the Hantong Provincial Party Committee compound.

After being checked by heavily armed guards, we proceeded to Villa No. 2.

"Hmm, this villa looks familiar!"

Zhao Ruilong slowed his pace and turned his head to look at him.

I remembered it very quickly.

Isn't this the villa No. 3 where Gao Yuliang lived in the original drama?

However, the person living inside right now is Liang Lu's father, Liang Qunfeng, who is also Qi Tongwei's father-in-law.

So the front yard of the villa is also a small garden.

If everything remains the same, Gao Yuliang will move here in the future.

He will definitely turn the small garden into a vegetable patch.

This way, whenever he has something on his mind, he can go in and dig the ground with a hoe.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Hurry up and go!"

"I'm checking to see if Liang Qunfeng is dead yet!"

Zhao Xiaohui was quite frightened and quickly looked around.

Luckily, there was no one around.

"You are crazy!"

"If the Liang family hears this, they'll curse you to death!"

As Zhao Xiaohui spoke, she punched Zhao Ruilong.

Why did you hit me? Don't you want that?

Zhao Ruilong retorted irritably.

"I……"

Just as Zhao Xiaohui was about to speak, she saw Qi Tongwei open the door and come out.

She immediately smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

Qi Tongwei, who was about to smoke, immediately smiled and nodded.

Zhao Ruilong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is this Qi Lu... oh no, Qi Ting?"

"Damn, just like in the original series, he really has the vibe of a masculine man!"

"No wonder that old woman Liang Lu went so far as to use her father's power and intimidation to force Qi Tongwei to kneel down and propose in public!"

"Men want to conquer exceptional women, and vice versa; wealthy and powerful women will inevitably want to subdue exceptional men!"

Zhao Ruilong thought to himself.

But he did not greet Qi Tongwei.

Before I traveled through time, when I was watching the drama, I wished I had a relative like Qi Ting.

He wished he could turn all the stray dogs in his hometown village into police dogs and put them on a government paycheck.

but now……

The contest between Liang Qunfeng and Zhao Lichun is still undecided.

Why be so polite to Qi Tongwei, who hasn't even become Director Qi yet?

He eventually became the most powerful prince in Handong.

Qi Tongwei, who was particularly eager to advance his career, would naturally try every means to curry favor with him.

After a while.

I walked into Villa No. 2, which looked somewhat familiar yet felt quite unfamiliar.

Zhao Lichun, who is not yet fifty years old and still has jet-black hair, is sitting on the sofa watching the news broadcast.

"Dad, we're back."

"Okay, go wash your hands and get ready to eat!"

Zhao Lichun immediately got up and turned off the TV.

After some hesitation, Zhao Ruilong finally spoke.

"Dad, we don't want to build a food court at Crescent Lake in Luzhou anymore!"

Zhao Lichun's eyes were full of doting affection, and his smile was warm.

He was completely unlike the decisive and economically focused Governor Zhao he was during the day.

"Okay!"

"Huh? You agree just like that? Aren't you going to listen to the reasons?"

Zhao Ruilong was very surprised.

"As long as the three of you siblings have discussed it and agreed, it's fine."

As Zhao Lichun spoke, he pointed to the sink.

"Go wash your hands quickly. Tonight's dishes are all your favorites."

Zhao Ruilong was somewhat bewildered.

Is this what it feels like to be pampered?

There's no need for explanation; you can do whatever you want.

Do whatever you want?

I even carefully crafted my words beforehand, fearing that I wouldn't be able to persuade them.

She completely forgot how much Zhao Lichun doted on her!

Just as he was about to wash his hands...

Ding~

A clear, electronic voice echoed in my mind.

[Congratulations, host, first task completed]

[Would you like to claim your reward now?]
