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

Chapter 573 Beijing's Elite Young Masters! Is it fun to kick someone when they're down?

"Wait for me!"

Gu Jinyang shouted loudly.

Wei Yun and Dou Jiansheng stopped and turned around simultaneously.

Then, the plump and fair-skinned Gu Jinyang limped up to catch up.

Wei Yun witnessed this scene.

He couldn't help but slightly raise his chin, a cold smile flashing across his lips.

He had no grudge against Gu Jinyang.

The two used to be neighbors living in the same compound, the kind who would occasionally see each other and exchange greetings.

However, he harbored resentment towards Gu Jinyang's father, Gu Maoyuan.

On the night Ge Junshan suddenly fell seriously ill, he and his sister Wei Lian went to check on him out of curiosity.

As a result, Gu Maoyuan publicly insulted him and arrogantly told him to get lost.

Wei Yun is no longer a child.

He's a rich kid who's studied abroad and got his degree!

She was publicly rebuked by Gu Maoyuan, but she endured it at the urging of her sister.

But this incident remained a scar in Wei Jun's heart.

Now that Gu Maoyuan has retired, he no longer holds a high position of power.

Seeing his son, Gu Jinyang, looking so pitiful with a limp.

Wei Yun couldn't help but sneer.

"Young Master Gu! Please slow down!"

"It's just having a late-night snack with President Zhao, isn't it?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Yun's words, delivered in a sarcastic tone, were particularly grating.

Dou Jiansheng, standing to the side, really wanted to punch him.

But considering we were about to go upstairs to the private room, I decided to hold back.

Carrying his bag, Dou Jiansheng quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice:

"Why are you back again? Didn't we agree that I would introduce you to someone?"

“My dad is fine. He had some drinks and is already asleep. I was worried that you wouldn’t do a good job of introducing him, so I rushed over.”

Gu Jinyang glanced at Wei Yun, who had a sly smile on his face, and asked again:

"Why is Wei Yun here too? Did President Zhao invite him out for a late-night snack?"

"It's still uncertain who invited whom; I reckon he probably has something he needs Mr. Zhao's help with!"

Dou Jiansheng, who had just argued with Wei Yun, was afraid that Gu Jinyang would lose his temper in the face of the sarcastic remarks, so he quickly reminded him:

"That bastard is a real scoundrel. No matter what he says, don't take it to heart! Getting down to business is the priority!"

Gu Jinyang hummed in agreement twice.

He's only focused on cashing out and running away now, so he has no interest in getting into conflicts with people.

Besides, he had no grudge against Wei Yun, so what did it matter if he was ridiculed a few times?

Ever since he broke his leg in a car accident when he was young and reckless, he has become accustomed to being looked down upon.

Especially in the first two years after my leg was broken, I not only had to endure physical discomfort, but also the ridicule that came with my strange walking posture.

Some classmates even deliberately imitated his limping gait in front of him, or snatched his things and made him chase after them, only returning them after they caught up with him.

Gu Jinyang has survived all those difficult days.

Why would he care about Wei Yun's sarcastic remarks?

Wei Yun, who harbored resentment towards Gu Maoyuan, could not vent his anger on Gu Jinyang, so he naturally turned his anger towards Gu Jinyang as well.

After Gu Jinyang and his companion approached, he looked them up and down, then asked with a playful smile:

"After your dad retired, did he become a full-time nanny for you? He's managed to raise you to be so fair and chubby!"

Dou Jiansheng was furious.

Wasn't Wei Yun's remark a veiled insult, implying that Gu Jinyang was as fat as a pig?

Although Gu Jinyang, who is disabled, is indeed much fatter than the average person due to his sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, and frequent consumption of carbonated drinks, who would say someone is fat when they meet them?

"My dad is a pretty good cook."

Gu Jinyang replied calmly.

Before Wei Yun could speak again, he took the initiative to remind him:

"Let's hurry upstairs, don't keep Mr. Zhao waiting!"

Wei Yun gave a light snort and asked as she walked:

"When did you meet Mr. Zhao? I've met him countless times, but he's never mentioned you?"

Dou Jiansheng spoke first: "I haven't heard General Manager Zhao mention you either!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Yun immediately laughed in anger.

He suddenly realized that there was no point in mocking and ridiculing the two people in front of him.

They were all impoverished young men whose parents had retired and who had lost their powerful backers.

They're all here to curry favor with Zhao Ruilong, so why are they competing with each other?

If you really have the ability, then don't come here in the middle of the night just to see Zhao Ruilong.

Instead, we should be like Zhao Ruilong, who has endless important matters to attend to and people to meet every day.

They walked in silence to their private room.

A body search is inevitable.

Since Dou Jiansheng brought a bag, the computer inside also had to be taken out for inspection.

Therefore, Wei Yun, who had finished the inspection first, was naturally the first to push open the door and enter the private room.

Seeing that quite a few people were already sitting around the large round table, waiting for the food to be served, Wei Yun was immediately dumbfounded.

"Why are so many people having late-night snacks with President Zhao?"

"Weren't we supposed to meet at 11 o'clock? Why are they all here so early?"

Wei Yun was a little puzzled, not knowing where he should sit.

Zhao Ruilong came out of the restroom.

"President Zhao!"

Wei Yun quickly stepped forward and greeted him with a smile.

"Let's talk about it after we finish eating. Just find a seat and make yourself at home!"

"Okay, sure."

Wei Jun quickly found a seat and sat down.

Looking around, I found all the faces to be unfamiliar.

Thinking to myself that I've been back in China for quite a while now, I've basically met all the young men and women in Beijing's elite circles who have any influence or connections.

But he had absolutely no recollection of these people in front of him; clearly, none of them were part of Beijing's elite circles.

At that moment, the door to the private room opened.

Dou Jiansheng and Gu Jinyang walked in one after the other.

"President Dou!"

Zhao Ruilong, who was sitting in the main seat facing the door, stood up and called out.

"Come and sit down, the food will be served soon!"

"it is good!"

Dou Jiansheng was overjoyed and quickly led Gu Jinyang over.

Moreover, at this moment, there were only two empty seats next to Zhao Ruilong at the huge round table.

Seeing Dou Jiansheng's beaming face as he introduced Gu Jinyang to Zhao Ruilong...

Wei Yun was instantly dumbfounded.

"Fuck you!"

"So Gu Jinyang and Zhao Ruilong didn't know each other at all before!"

"And Zhao Ruilong just told me to find a seat anywhere, why the hell didn't I think of sitting next to him?"

"Now look what's happened! Dou Jiansheng and Gu Jinyang, who arrived last, are sitting next to Zhao Ruilong!"

The round table was too big, and there were too many people around it.

Many people were whispering and muttering amongst themselves.

Therefore, Wei Yun couldn't hear what Gu Jinyang and Zhao Ruilong were saying at all.

Just as I was hesitating whether to swallow my pride and go over to eavesdrop on what they were talking about, the waiter started serving the dishes again.

As the dishes were served one by one, Zhao Ruilong gestured for Dou Jiansheng and Gu Jinyang to sit down, and then tapped on the table.

The two thuds instantly drew the attention of everyone around the table.

"We've been in a meeting for several hours, everyone must be tired. Let's just have a simple late-night snack and no alcohol!"

"After you return to your respective units tomorrow, please promptly implement the results of today's meeting."

"Feel free to message me anytime if you have any questions, and I'll reply as soon as I see it!"

"Alright everyone, let's eat! After you've eaten your fill, go back to your rooms and rest!"

After saying that, Zhao Ruilong sat down, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and started eating first.

Before returning to Yanjing after attending Qi Tongwei's wedding, Zhao Ruilong anticipated that he would be extremely busy upon his return.

Despite being mentally prepared, the numerous meetings and talks, both large and small, during this period still left me exhausted.

Fortunately, after unremitting efforts, a series of policy documents have been issued, and the cooperation among relevant enterprises and institutions has been agreed upon.

At this moment, Zhao Ruilong just wanted to fill his stomach quickly, then take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep.

Otherwise, in the afternoon I would have to respond to the call to revitalize Northeast China and, at the invitation of Tang Zhisheng, the provincial secretary of Ningyuan, go to Shengyang to attend the Second Industrial Expo, then go to the Northwest Aerospace Center to witness the first manned spaceflight, and then continue westward to meet Zou Kangyong, who is in charge of the Western Regions...

Thinking about the busy work ahead, Zhao Ruilong unconsciously sped up his eating, hoping to finish quickly so he could rest sooner. Seeing this, the others also wolfed down their food.

Especially since everyone knew that three more people had arrived while they were having a late-night snack, and Zhao Ruilong would definitely have other things to do, they all wisely ate their fill and left quickly, without delaying anything.

Time passed slowly.

More and more people, having eaten and drunk their fill, bid farewell to Zhao Ruilong and left.

Zhao Ruilong quickly put down his chopsticks and picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Dou Jiansheng, who was sitting to the side, quickly took out a cigarette and offered one to Zhao Ruilong.

Gu Jinyang quickly took out his laptop, ready to personally demonstrate the game he had invested in and developed.

"Mr. Zhao, look, the graphics of this game are absolutely stunning. Jin Yang and his team spent a lot of money hiring a lot of people to create the scene effects..."

As he spoke, Dou Jiansheng was about to light a cigarette for Zhao Ruilong.

"No need, I'll order myself!"

Zhao Ruilong lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Dou Jiansheng quickly got up to make room for Gu Jinyang so that he could demonstrate the operation to Zhao Ruilong up close.

Before Zhao Ruilong transmigrated, he had played all sorts of games, from PC to mobile, from single-player to online, from solo to team games... The number of games he had played and seen was countless.

Therefore, Zhao Ruilong didn't even need to personally test the game that Gu Jinyang had invested heavily in developing; he knew that this overly complex game had no chance of becoming a big hit and wasn't worth the huge investment.

Internet products, whether they are games or applications, are only likely to become popular if they are simple and easy to use.

In the world before the time travel, those wildly popular apps, practically national applications, were all suitable for all ages and very easy to use.

Some product managers have even admitted that developing internet products means treating both yourself and the users like fools, so that the products are simple, easy to understand, and easy to operate.

This large-scale online game developed by Kegu Jinyang Investment...

The interface looks incredibly complicated; if it were to actually launch, it would definitely deter countless people instantly.

As for the world background, story structure, plot design, and so on, they all sound far too complicated.

Users play games in their spare time just to relax and have fun. If it's made so complicated, how can it be entertaining?

of course.

The fact that Gu Jinyang was able to create such a game with such exquisite graphics and good detail in 2003 shows that he had put in a lot of effort and money.

Zhao Ruilong naturally already knew why he was in such a hurry to part with what he loved.

On the day he returned to Yanjing, before attending Dean Wen's dinner, Zhao Ruilong met with President Shen.

After talking to him about the story of bandits, we discussed the obstacles encountered in deepening reforms and technological innovation.
