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

Chapter 128 Great! Finally, someone dares to show off in front of me, Zhao Ruilong!

Huilong Hotel.

Luxury cars lined up, completely blocking the entrance to the hotel.

Upon seeing the municipal party committee's Audi arrive, the security guards quickly stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, the guests are boarding and leaving one after another. You may have to wait a while."

Zhao Ruilong turned slightly to the side and glanced through the gap between the front seats.

At the main entrance of the hotel, a large group of people were gathered together, chatting and laughing.

One after another, imported Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi vehicles drove up to the entrance to pick up passengers.

These days, very few people can afford a Santana.

Those who can afford imported luxury cars costing one or two million should be extremely rare.

But at this moment...

These expensive luxury cars were crowded in front of the main entrance of Huilong Hotel.

"Old Liu, let's stop here. It's not far, I can walk there."

As he spoke, Zhao Ruilong handed a cigarette to Gao Yuliang's driver.

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, please take your time!"

As he got out of the car, Zhao Ruilong casually offered the security guard a cigarette.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

"Whose family is so powerful? They have so many wealthy relatives!"

Zhao Ruilong asked curiously.

The security guard took out a lighter, lit Zhao Ruilong's cigarette, and said:

"Su Jinyi, chairman of Linjiang Xinyi Group, has a mother-in-law who is from Luzhou. Today, she is holding her 80th birthday banquet at our hotel, and many bosses have come to support her."

"Is it that guy with the slicked-back hair, the one whose forehead is shiny with oil?"

"That's right, it's him. It's said that he has assets worth tens of billions and is the richest man in Linjiang."

"Billions in assets?"

Zhao Ruilong was taken aback.

This is 2001!

An average person's monthly salary is only a thousand yuan or so.

Su Jinyi, who doesn't look that old, is actually so rich?

"I reckon there's more!"

"It is said that he used to be a teacher in the countryside. He saw others making money selling honey, so he started his own honey business."

"After saving some money, he went to Tianhai to speculate in stocks. It seems that he made tens of millions in half a year. Then he invested in the production of beverages and health products, and also opened a pharmaceutical factory."

"Later, he collaborated with many listed companies to invest in the construction of highways, hydropower stations, and thermal power plants. It is said that in Linjiang Province, no one dared to compete with him for any major project he set his sights on."

Zhao Ruilong took a deep drag on his cigarette and frowned as he looked at the security guard.

These days, online information is still very underdeveloped.

Aside from television broadcasts, the main means of communication were newspapers, magazines, and word of mouth.

How did Su Jinyi's rise to wealth reach the ears of this security guard?

"How do you know this?"

“Last month, he sent someone to book 100 tables for a banquet, and the deposit alone was one million. Then some people became curious and inquired about his background.”

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

Indeed, gossiping is one of the innate traits of humankind.

"Okay, I got it. You can go ahead and get busy!"

"Alright, Mr. Zhao, take care!"

Avoid the luxury cars and the bustling crowds.

Zhao Ruilong went straight to the elevator after entering the lobby.

Zhong Zhengguo led a team to Linjiang Province for educational rectification.

It was clearly inconvenient for Su Jinyi to hold a grand celebration there and make too much of a spectacle.

So they came to Handong and held a grand banquet at Huilong Hotel, the best hotel in Luzhou.

Upon arriving at the elevator, I saw four men, their faces flushed from drinking, chatting and laughing together.

The elevator doors opened, and Xiao Ya, the manager of the guest room department, came out.

Upon seeing Zhao Ruilong, he immediately smiled and called out:

"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"

"Oh, hello little sister!"

A short, stout man with a round face and a thick gold chain around his neck asked with a smile:

"How do you know me, little sister?"

Xiao Ya smiled somewhat awkwardly:

"Excuse me, sir, I'm calling our boss!"

"Oh, boss?"

The man with the thick gold chain turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ruilong.

"Are you the owner of Huilong Hotel?"

Out of politeness, Zhao Ruilong smiled slightly.

"Yes, sir, welcome to our establishment."

"Since we all share the surname Zhao, we're family!"

The man with the thick gold chain glanced at Zhao Ruilong and then chuckled, saying:

"Since we're all family, could you upgrade us all to executive suites?"

Zhao Ruilong immediately smiled and said, "If there are any spare executive suites, of course we can upgrade you, and I can give you the best discount price."

"Holy crap, we're all family now, and you still want a discount? Can't it be free?"

The man with the thick gold chain asked with a grin, "Can't we, the Zhao family, be a little more generous?"

Zhao Ruilong laughed and said, "I'm really sorry, but our hotel has a rule that upgrades can't be free. Besides, didn't I already give you the best discount because we're family?"

"Hmph, you can't even get a free room upgrade? Our Zhao family doesn't have a stingy wretch like you!"

After saying this, the man with the thick gold chain glanced at Xiao Ya with ill intent.

"This little girl is quite nice; she's pretty and has a sweet tongue."

"Come play some mahjong with me, I'll give you a tip!"

As he spoke, the man with the thick gold chain tried to take her hand.

Xiao Ya quickly took a step back.

"Sorry, sir, I'm still at work!"

"Hey, why bother going to work? With such a stingy boss, my salary is definitely going to be meager! How about you come play a game of mahjong with me, I'll give you a thousand, how about it?"

Before Xiao Ya could speak, Zhao Ruilong interjected:

"Go and do your work first!"

Xiao Ya smiled apologetically and quickly made her escape.

"Hey, who told you to leave? Stop right there!"

The man with the thick gold chain shouted loudly.

"Excuse me, sir, this is a hotel, not a nightclub."

Upon hearing Zhao Ruilong's words, the man with the big gold chain immediately widened his puffy eyes.

"What the hell do you mean? Just because it's not a nightclub doesn't mean I can't pick up girls! I just had her play mahjong with me, not go back to my room to sleep!"

Zhao Ruilong smiled without saying a word.

There's no point in talking to these nouveau riche who think they're so great just because they have a little money.

Especially since the other party had been drinking.

I reached out and pressed a button, and the elevator doors opened.

"Please come upstairs and rest, boss! Please forgive us if we have not been hospitable enough!"

The man with the thick gold chain clearly didn't want the story to end there.

There were three friends watching over him!

"What the hell do you mean? What 'forgive me'?"

"I'm rich. Can't I just pay her to play mahjong with me for a while?"

As he spoke, the man with the thick gold chain suddenly pulled the handbag that was tucked under his armpit away.

He pulled out a stack of banknotes and flung them into the air with a whoosh.

Good guy!

I've been here for over half a year.

I've seen far too many fawning, ingratiating smiles.

I also heard countless flattering and compliments.

Now finally someone is showing off in front of me.

Looking at the other party's wealthy, arrogant, and domineering demeanor.

Zhao Ruilong felt this situation.

It's like an ant stretching out a leg, trying to trip an elephant!

Little did they know that an elephant could be killed by a sneeze, let alone a foot.

The sound of rapid footsteps came.

Xiao Ya brought several security guards with her.

These security guards are really something.

They hadn't even charged over yet, but they had already brandished their weapons.

The man with the thick gold chain was unaware of his own identity, while the others clearly knew it very well.

"Don't come any closer, go back!"

Zhao Ruilong gave the order.

Xiao Ya and the security guards all stopped in their tracks.

But everyone's eyes were filled with worry.

At this moment, the man with the gold chain, unaware of Zhao Ruilong's identity, turned around and glared at him rudely.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to kick me out? Do you know who my older brother is?"

"Of course not. You are a guest of our hotel, so of course we will do our best to make you satisfied."

"I'm satisfied my ass!"

The man with the thick gold chain pointed at Xiao Ya.

"Unless you make her come upstairs with me, this isn't over!"

“Okay, let’s go, Xiao Ya, let’s accompany this boss upstairs.”

It's rare to encounter a nouveau riche who doesn't know his place.

Zhao Ruilong really couldn't bear to ruin his arrogance too quickly.

However, after Xiao Ya walked over, the man with the thick gold chain glared at her and said:

"Who asked you to come with me? Get the hell out of here!"

"Let me go with her, otherwise she'll be considered absent without leave!"

"Damn it, what kind of lousy hotel is this? They even have this rule?"

Zhao Ruilong pressed the elevator button again and made a gesture of invitation.

"Let's go, boss, don't keep your friends waiting."

The man with the thick gold chain grunted twice.

"Let's go, guys!"

After the four entered the elevator, Zhao Ruilong led Xiao Ya, who looked bewildered, into the elevator as well.

Xiao Ya couldn't understand what Young Master Zhao was up to, but she didn't dare to ask him directly.

"Judging from the boss's accent, he doesn't seem to be a local from Luzhou. Could he be from Linjiang Province?"

"That's right, I'm from Bobei in Linjiang, and Su Jinyi is my sworn brother!"

Men with big gold chains speak of Su Jinyi with such pride and arrogance.

Zhao Ruilong nodded slightly.

He has a sworn brother who claims to be worth billions.

No wonder this guy is so arrogant and domineering.

but……

My own Huilong Hotel has quite a few executive suites.

Why did Su Jinyi only arrange standard business rooms for the four of them?

It can't be that they just don't want to spend more money, right?

They're worth billions, why would they care about this little thing?

The elevator quickly reached the fourth floor.

Zhao Ruilong reached out to block the elevator, letting the other person go first.

Xiao Ya was the last one to arrive, and she winked and stared at Zhao Ruilong with a puzzled look on her face.

It was as if the question was being asked silently, "Young Master, what are you playing?"

Zhao Ruilong acted as if he hadn't seen it.

Before the group even reached the counter, the clerk hurriedly greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"

"Hello, please book a deluxe mahjong room for four bosses, and I'll cover the cost."

"Okay, okay, this way please."

The man with the thick gold chain glanced at Zhao Ruilong.

"Looks like you really are the boss!"

Zhao Ruilong humbly smiled and said, "Actually, I'm just working for someone else and only own a small share."

Come to the box.

The room is luxurious and spacious, and also has a dedicated rest area.

The room is fully furnished with a sofa, coffee table, and television.

The man with the thick gold chain glanced at it and nodded with satisfaction.

"You're quite the boss!"

"Since you're being so polite, and we both share the same surname, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Have this pretty young lady brew us four cups of good tea, then you can go back!"

After saying that, the man with the big gold chain, his belly protruding, took the lead and walked towards the mahjong machine.

"Go make some tea! I'll stay here and keep the bosses company!"

Zhao Ruilong found a stool and sat down next to the man with the big gold chain.

"What? You really want to play mahjong with me?"

"I've got nothing better to do, so I'll just watch you guys have some fun!"

"Okay, this is interesting!"

After the man with the thick gold chain put down his handbag, he called his friends to start fighting.

Soon, Xiao Ya brought over tea, fruit platters, and snacks.

The service was so attentive, and the owner even accompanied us personally.

The man with the big gold chain was laughing heartily.

He offered Zhao Ruilong a cigarette after finishing his business with his friends.

"My name is Zhao Feiyu, what's yours?"

"My name is Zhao Ruilong!"

"Nice name, more imposing than mine!"

After saying that, Zhao Feiyu lit a cigarette and started fighting with the three brothers.

Before the game was even over, someone knocked on the door and came in.

"Brother Yu, so you guys were here!"

A chubby man wearing glasses walked up with a smile and offered cigarettes.

Finally, he looked at Zhao Ruilong with some doubt.

"Young man, you look a bit unfamiliar!"

"His name is Zhao Ruilong, and he's the owner of this hotel!"

After saying that, Zhao Feiyu casually played a mahjong tile.

"what???"

The fat man was instantly stunned, then quickly turned pale.

"You...how did you get here?"

Before Zhao Ruilong could speak, Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but laugh:

"I originally wanted a girl to play mahjong with me, but he actually said he would play with me and even arranged the most luxurious private room for us for free."

The fat man was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

"Stop hitting Brother Yu! Hurry up and apologize to him!"

"Apologize? Why?"

Zhao Feiyu and the other three all cast curious glances their way.

"Because his father is Zhao Lichun, the Secretary of the Han Dong Secretariat!"
