Zhao Xiaoying said this, wanting only to stall for time.
She didn't know whether to exchange her lucky fruit for money. Besides needing to repay the loan to Shenfeng Credit, her father's affairs also required a considerable sum.
She had to buy herself some time, ideally to inquire further about lucky fruit from Liu Sandao or Fu Ruhai.
Their opposition must mean they knew something; the situation might not be as simple as it seemed.
"Alright, this is the biggest concession I can make. You may leave. However, I expect to hear your affirmative decision by late tomorrow. Otherwise, at this time the day after tomorrow..."
The visitor deliberately left his threat unsaid.
Zhao Xiaoying nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!" She grabbed Fang Huiran and hurried towards the door.
The visitor cast a minor spell, and the two women naturally exited and took the elevator down.
Although their crisis was not over, at least they were temporarily safe. Liu Sandao returned to Yaotian Building.
He had to keep a close watch on Zhao Xiaoying tomorrow and the day after, no matter what.
He didn't know why the visitor was fixated on Zhao Xiaoying, but he was aware of the amount of lucky fruit she possessed.
If he wanted to protect Zhao Xiaoying's lucky fruit, he might have to start with her father, Zhao Gang. If her father could return to his original position unharmed, all these problems could be resolved.
With this thought, Liu Sandao opened his Book of Fortune, but after searching every page, he found no information on Zhao Gang.
Unless this person was dead, he would certainly be in Fu Ruhai's book.
He had originally asked Fu Ruhai to deal with Bai Suxiang, but upon returning to the office, the two of them had vanished.
...
Zhao Qiansun was currently in his office chair, contemplating matters.
Director Jia was about to sign a personnel adjustment document, officially announcing the nationwide expansion of the Lucky Fruit System across China.
This meant Ying Bafang's business would expand, and consequently, Xia Hua Bank's tasks would increase.
Xia Hua Bank had established a new department specifically for this purpose: the Lucky Fruit Trading Department.
This department would act as an independent third party, responsible for the issuance and monetization of lucky fruit.
Ying Bafang would exist as an independent distributor of lucky fruit in the mortal realm, with sole rights in China. Furthermore, according to his report, the higher-ups intended to crack down on all forms of lucky fruit issuance systems, regardless of differing names or operational models, such as the shadow lucky fruit system that the visitor used for personal gain.
However, there was one condition: the head of the Trading Department and the Chairman of Ying Bafang could not be the same person.
This meant he could only choose one position. Moreover, the superiors intended for the Chairman of Ying Bafang to be an external appointment again, with no consideration for previous officeholders.
This implied that Fu Ruhai could not possibly be reappointed. The Heavenly Emperor intended to keep the Lucky Fruit System firmly under his control.
There were also rumors that Zhang Kuixian was very interested in this position.
He had initially strongly opposed it, but one could not have everything. And since Jia Sidao was considering this, he must have been under pressure from other parties.
After comprehensive consideration, he decided to take the position of Minister of the Trading Department, a role that could be concurrently held by the Director of the Xia Hua Bank Office.
The Chairman of Ying Bafang was also a principal position, and if Zhang Kuixian wished to advance further, this position would be suitable, requiring him only to relinquish his deputy director role. Su Dan Novel Network.
Moreover, with the expansion of Ying Bafang, the importance of this position was self-evident.
After carefully filtering through these matters in his mind, he picked up the phone and made a call.
...
Liu Sandao met Fu Ruhai in the evening.
Opening Fu Ruhai's Book of Fortune, the names inside were ordinary; none of them glowed, including Zhao Gang's entry.
Zhao Gang, a five-star individual, did not seem like someone who could help his daughter.
"Why is it that Zhao Xiaoying is in danger now, yet Zhao Gang shows no reaction?"
Liu Sandao asked, looking at Fu Ruhai with confusion.
"Haha, you're asking about that! That's what they call 'children and grandchildren have their own fortunes.' No matter how wealthy you are in this life, it doesn't determine whether your descendants will be prosperous; similarly, if your descendants are wealthy, you can't change anything."
"So, does that mean the path of trying to help Zhao Xiaoying through Zhao Gang is not feasible?"
"Well! I don't know. In any case, as long as there's a change in the Book of Fortune, it means the matter can be done. Otherwise, arbitrarily taking that person's lucky fruit will only ruin them."
"Oh," Liu Sandao sighed in disappointment and said no more.
He had hoped to help Zhao Xiaoying through another method, but that hope was now dashed.
Under the current circumstances, all he could do was wait.
Two mornings later, Yaotian Building was as usual.
Bai Suxiang was still busy with the tasks assigned by her superiors. Meanwhile, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai received a call from the office and were summoned to the top floor.
When the others heard that these two were going to the top floor again, they naturally felt envy, jealousy, and resentment.
But upon reaching the top floor, they were not happy. At least Fu Ruhai was very disappointed.
Because on the top floor, they met their superior Zhao Qiansun and Zhang Kuixian, along with another important leader, Wu Simin.
Wu Simin was the current Vice President of Xia Hua Bank. Fu Ruhai had never met him in person but had seen his photograph on the bank's personnel record forms.
As soon as they arrived, Zhao Qiansun introduced the leaders to them, and incidentally, introduced the two of them to the leaders.
Wu Simin was not as amiable as Jia Sidao; he was very stern, with a blank expression, making it impossible to gauge his emotions.
"You read out the appointment results!"
Wu Simin said directly.
Strangely, on such an important occasion, the visitor was nowhere to be seen.
"Zhang Kuixian is hereby appointed as Chairman and General Manager of Ying Bafang! Ji Wuming is appointed as Vice Chairman and General Manager of Ying Bafang Population Data Analysis Technology Co., Ltd.! Fu Ruhai is appointed as Head of the Ying Bafang Lucky Fruit System Inspection Team! Liu Sandao is appointed as Special Inspector..."
After the appointments were read, Ji Wuming was the first to start clapping. Others followed suit with a few claps, somewhat absentmindedly and not very loudly.
It was so sudden. Fu Ruhai felt puzzled: he had thought that with the visitor absent, he would be reappointed as Chairman of Ying Bafang, but instead...
He was completely bewildered by this position of Inspection Team Leader.
To put it nicely, he was a team leader, but with no team members other than Liu Sandao, what was the difference between that and being a lone wolf?
Furthermore, what exactly could this Inspection Team Leader inspect?
The Lucky Fruit System was issuing lucky fruit smoothly; these past few days, there hadn't been a single lucky fruit that required his personal distribution, meaning he had no connection to the system whatsoever.
Now, this Inspection Team Leader position was merely a change of name without any substance.
"Alas, work is becoming more and more meaningless!"
