Chapter 372 Zhengrong Group!
Seeing Li Yuanchao's unpredictable expression, he didn't continue the topic of Zhou Xiaobai, but instead asked:
"So... Yuanchao, what are your plans for the future? You can't stay 'sick' like this forever, can you? When are you planning to return to the army?"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanchao scoffed inwardly.
Thinking of going back to the army?
Why go back?
Although he retired due to illness, everyone with eyes to see knows what really happened. Going back would be embarrassing, and people would talk behind his back; he wouldn't want to go looking for that.
He paused, a shrewd calculation flashing in his eyes as he thought about the job his family had arranged for him. A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, a stark contrast to his earlier dejection.
"I'm not going. Once I'm fully recovered from this 'illness,' I'll go straight through the discharge procedures."
"You're retiring just like that? You're not a low-ranking officer now, and you've been in the military for so many years. All your previous efforts have been wasted. What a pity!"
"What's so special about that? I wouldn't even look at it!"
Li Yuanchao sat up slightly, lowered his voice, and said to Luo Yun with a hint of sharing a secret,
"Look at the current external environment; it's quite different from before. Some policies from above have been relaxed."
"Look at the number of TV dramas imported from Japan and the United States these past few years. Also, those small businesses, privately owned restaurants, and small factories have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the authorities aren't cracking down on them like they used to; they're mostly turning a blind eye."
He stared intently at Luo Yun, as if emphasizing his judgment.
"What does this mean? It means that the wind has changed, and relying solely on the old planned economy approach is no longer viable."
At this point, a confident, superior air, characteristic of his circle, appeared on his face.
"I also came at the right time. I 'fell ill' at just the right moment. It just so happened that the higher-ups were going to set up a group company called 'Zheng Rong Group,' which would mainly do foreign trade business and earn foreign exchange through the port on Hong Kong Island. This was a huge piece of meat, and many people were eyeing it."
As she spoke, she slightly raised her chin, her tone becoming nonchalant, yet deliberately revealing the power and connections behind her.
"My dad is already working on it for me. I reckon I'll start as a deputy general manager as a transitional position!"
Luo Yun was surprised when she heard Li Yuanchao's words, and then she was shocked!
Zhengrong Group!
Foreign trade company!
Earn foreign exchange through Hong Kong Island!
Although she didn't know much about these things, just based on these words, this was definitely one of the most sought-after and highest-barrier organizations right now!
Once the company is established, it goes without saying how many privileged and capable young men from privileged backgrounds will be scrambling to get in.
Li Yuanchao, a military officer who had just retired due to illness, was able to say something as casual as "go in and be a deputy general manager first"!
How powerful and influential would it take to accomplish that?
She couldn't help but think of her own family background and network of connections. Although her father had been promoted to the rank of division commander, he was still far inferior to Li Yuanchao's father.
That kind of deep-rooted, intricate power was far beyond what someone of her family's level could attain.
At this moment, she realized more clearly the insurmountable chasm between herself and people like Li Yuanchao.
Therefore, she had to lean even closer to him...
Li Yuanchao was very satisfied with the undisguised shock on Luo Yun's face, which made him regain some of the sense of superiority he had lost with Zhong Yuemin.
So what if you, Zhong Yuemin, become a hero? In the end, you're still just a common soldier.
Li Yuanchao later became a general manager, sitting in a spacious office in a high-rise building, smoking cigars, enjoying massages from his beautiful female secretary, and signing contracts worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, living the life of a superior person.
Your hero, Zhong Yuemin, is worthless; you don't even deserve to shine his shoes!
