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

Chapter 427 Incredibly Audacious! They actually dare to extort money from me, Zhao Ruilong!

"Fang Tiankui! You bastard!"

"I've already given you over 100,000 yuan in installments!"

"This doesn't even include the renovation payment I already settled with you!"

"How long are you going to keep blackmailing me?"

Xiao Ya roared angrily, her voice filled with murderous intent.

If Fang Tiankui appeared in front of me, he would happen to have a knife in his hand.

She would absolutely not hesitate to stab him dozens of times.

When she bought the house, she wanted to find someone to renovate it. She didn't know who had told Fang Tiankui, but he was unusually enthusiastic and proactive in contacting her, offering plans and suggestions.

After the group acquired Xirong Jincheng Hotel, in order to complete the renovation and open for business as soon as possible, it found several local decoration companies to cooperate on the project, and Fang Tiankui's company was one of them.

Considering that Fang Tiankui had completed the renovation of the Lianhuilong Hotel quickly and successfully, and that the renovation plan and price he offered were indeed quite good, Xiao Ya agreed.

But she never expected that Fang Tiankui would secretly install surveillance cameras while he was renovating her house, and she, completely unaware of this, brought Zhao Ruilong, who came to Xirong for investment and inspection, home for a visit.

As a result, Fang Tiankui secretly recorded their romance and recklessness, burned it onto a CD, and used it as leverage to repeatedly blackmail and extort money from him...

"Oh, Mr. Xiao, don't be angry!"

"In everyone's eyes, you are an elegant and dignified female CEO, how can you be so irritable?"

"You were so gentle when you were serving that man, why are you so fierce to me?"

Xiao Ya gripped her phone tightly, her anger barely contained, and said:

"Fierce? I'd love to chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Fang Tiankui sneered in a shrill voice:

"Oh dear, I'm so scared! But... I want to warn you, I've copied a lot of CDs. If I die, you can expect your CDs to be scattered everywhere!"

"By then, word will spread like wildfire, and it won't just be people from your Huilong Group who know how shameless and promiscuous you are behind your seemingly single and dignified facade, but the whole world!"

"You heartless bastard! Don't push your luck!"

Xiao Ya glared angrily, her chest heaving with rage.

Fang Tiankui chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, how did I bully you? I just wanted to borrow a little money from you, why are you so angry?"

"What do you mean it's not that serious?"

Xiao Ya angrily retorted, "I did it out of kindness to entrust you with the renovation of the house, and I haven't shortchanged you by a single penny."

"But you installed surveillance cameras to secretly film me, and you've extorted money from me more than once. Don't you think that's bullying?"

"I'm telling you, Fang Tiankui, if you continue this endless blackmail and extortion, I'll fight you to the death!"

"I'm willing to risk my reputation and job to call the police and send you to jail!!"

Fang Tiankui chuckled dismissively.

"Mr. Xiao, who are you trying to scare? If you really had the guts, you would have called the police to arrest me long ago. Why have I been able to get away with this until now?"

"The reason you dare not call the police is something we both know very well: you can't bear to give up your good reputation and your good job!"

"For ordinary people like us with very ordinary family backgrounds to be able to rise to senior management positions in a mega-corporation like Huilong Group is simply an incredible stroke of luck!"

"Such a good job, how could you bear to give it up? Of course you wouldn't dare. You've long been the pride of your family and friends, and you really enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with career success!"

"Besides, the man in the video is definitely a high-ranking executive in your Huilong Group. You became the general manager by being his secret lover. How could you dare to expose your relationship?"

"So don't threaten me, say you'll fight me to the death. If I dared to secretly film you and blackmail you, I would have already planned everything out and knew you wouldn't dare to call the police."

Fang Tiankui paused slightly at this point.

"On the other hand, although my behavior was despicable and shameless—repeatedly asking you for money, which was egregious in nature and involved a huge sum of money, enough to warrant a sentence of more than ten years in prison—what about you?"

"On the surface, you're a dignified and elegant female CEO, glamorous and graceful, but secretly you're like a bitch, fawning over rich and powerful men. I'm embarrassed to even mention your wanton and despicable behavior..."

"shut up!!"

Xiao Ya angrily went to sit down behind her desk.

"Hey, you surnamed Fang, give me a straight answer!"

"What do I have to do to stop you from blackmailing me?!"

Fang Tiankui laughed and said, "What? You can't stand it already? You've only given me money a few times already."

"Isn't a few hundred thousand a small amount of money for a female CEO in such a high position like you?"

"If you really find me annoying and don't want me to harass you all the time, and want to resolve this once and for all, then five million!"

Xiao Ya suddenly stood up.

Five million? Why don't you just rob someone?

"I'll just rob you then! Who gave me leverage over you?"

Fang Tiankui snorted coldly twice, then continued:

“I know you’ll definitely say that you can’t come up with that much money, and you’re too embarrassed to ask your sugar daddy for that much money.”

“Your Huilong Hotel has strict management. Even if you are the general manager, you can’t use your power to get five million.”

"It's okay, I'll give you an idea to make money. Isn't your Huilong Group planning to invest heavily in Xirong?"

"It's been reported on TV and in the newspapers that you're going to build a large-scale production base for electronic products and new energy vehicles."

"With investments exceeding 10 billion yuan in these two major bases, there will definitely be a lot of factories, dormitories, office buildings, and the like..."

Xiao Ya listened through gritted teeth.

She had long anticipated that the insatiable Fang Tiankui would not let her off easily.

He will only extort more and more each time, treating me as his cash cow.

The previous extortion was clearly just an 'appetizer,' a test of his bottom line.

Knowing he couldn't afford to give up, he finally revealed his wolfish ambitions today.

The wealthy and powerful Huilong Group has long been renowned and famous throughout the country.

The production bases invested and built in provinces such as Handong, Zhongjiang, and Linjiang are all large in scale.

Now, when they come to invest in Sichuan, they make a huge investment of up to 10 billion yuan.

Fang Tiankui was originally just the owner of a small decoration company.

If he could participate in the construction project, he would make a fortune.

Successfully completing Huilong Group's engineering projects is equivalent to having a prestigious reputation.

In the future, I will be able to participate in more and larger engineering projects and earn more money.

Think about it this way.

Fang Tiankui had already started setting things up.

He tried every means to take on the renovation work of his new house and secretly installed surveillance cameras.

Even if they didn't film their own and Zhao Ruilong's private moments, they could still secretly gather information.

After all, it's perfectly normal to make and receive phone calls at home.

Who would have thought that even home isn't safe?

"You cunning Fang Tiankui, so that's what you were planning!"

Fang Tiankui laughed and said, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, I have no choice. If I want to expand and strengthen the business as soon as possible, I have to use some extraordinary means, don't I?"

"But don't worry, as long as you can help me find work, I won't take a penny from you. On the contrary, I'll give you 30% of the profits."

"And I will definitely keep this a secret and will never let anyone know. That way, you can keep your reputation and job while also getting your share of the money. Isn't that great!"

Xiao Ya slowly sat down.

"Then what if I don't agree?"

"Don't agree?"

Fang Tiankui snorted coldly.

Do you think you have any other options?

"Why bother fighting me to the death?"

"I have a worthless life, but you have a bright future ahead of you!"

Xiao Ya gritted her teeth, thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice:

"Fang Tiankui, if you want to make money, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll make sure you earn it but don't live to spend it!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao, as long as there's work to do, I'll definitely be very obedient. So, what do you think of our cooperation..."

"I'm going to Jingzhou in a couple of days, and I'll inquire about the progress of the project in Xirong then!"

"That's great! I'll wait for your good news..."

Before Fang Tiankui could finish speaking, Xiao Ya hung up the phone.

He tossed his phone onto his desk.

Xiao Ya bit her red lips tightly, her face turning ashen with anger.

The cooperation proposed by Fang Tiankui seemed very tempting.

Not only can it preserve one's reputation and job, but it can also earn 30% of the profits for free.

But I followed Zhao Ruilong...

What's the big deal about the small profit share Fang Tiankui gets?

The temporary agreement is merely to appease Fang Tiankui.

Otherwise, if the matter is exposed, he will be ruined and disgraced.

If Zhao Ruilong suffers negative consequences, that would be a grave offense.

"We must find a way to resolve this matter satisfactorily, otherwise the consequences will be dire!"

"Human greed is endless. Right now, he just wants me to help him get jobs."

“Once he makes money and gains more power, he will inevitably threaten me to arrange bigger and more projects for him.”

"As for such a despicable and shameless person, he's fine for doing small jobs, but if he were to work on a big project, he would definitely cut corners and cheat."

"But the problem is, how can I deal with him satisfactorily? This bastard has burned countless CDs. Even if I get rid of him, it'll still be easy for his information to be exposed!"

"And does this guy really not know who President Zhao is, or is he pretending not to know? If he does know and is still so ruthless in threatening me, then he's incredibly audacious!"

Xiao Ya fell into deep thought once again.

The first time she was blackmailed by Fang Tiankui, she thought about how to resolve the situation.

But she was just the general manager of Xirong Huilong Hotel.

Under a strict management system, it is very difficult to abuse one's power for personal gain.

What can you do to deal with a cunning and ruthless scoundrel?

"No, I can't solve this problem on my own!"

"If I don't tell Boss Zhao about this, Fang Tiankui will definitely exploit and take advantage of me to the death!"

"When I get back to Jingzhou in a couple of days, I must tell President Zhao about this. I can't let Fang Tiankui ruin me!"

After making up her mind, Xiao Ya quickly adjusted her mood and threw herself into her work.

at the same time.

Fang Tiankui left the restroom and returned to the card table.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Hanwei, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, joked and teased:

"Mr. Fang, whose phone was that? Not only did you have to go to the restroom to answer it, but it took so long. Was your wife checking up on you?"

"I received a complaint call from a homeowner who said my company hadn't done a good job renovating her house, and she kept finding fault with everything. How could I possibly answer that call here?"

Fang Tiankui, of course, would not tell the truth.

These bosses who love playing cards are nothing more than the韭菜 (leeks, a metaphor for being exploited) they've cultivated.

How could he let them know that he had something on Xiao Ya that he could use to threaten her into helping him get business?

"Your renovation business is really pointless. You don't make much money, and you have to worry about everything!"
