Nie Rong was the man who managed to win over Han Yuzhu, Hong Kong's top female businesswoman.
Even if he couldn't match Nie Zhao and Han Yuzhu's business acumen, he certainly possessed shrewdness and cunning.
Nie Zhao forcefully seized power, and regardless of whether Nie Rong was willing or not, he had to step down to the second line. However, the old man had managed the Nie family business for more than 20 years, and the foundation was very solid. For example, Liang Lisheng, although he listened to Nie Zhao, still had to discuss everything with Nie Rong.
Liang Lisheng naturally told Nie Rong everything about Chen Rou's leniency towards Nie Yao last night.
Early in the morning, my father-in-law called, sounding cheerful: "Ah Rou, the doctor said I can be discharged after two more days of rest. The head of TVB and several newspapers said they want to visit you. They've never formally interviewed you before and want to do an exclusive interview with you. I've agreed on your behalf."
“Okay, but I’m not very good at improvising. Why don’t you have them prepare a script?” Chen Rou said.
Nie Rong said, "If they want to do an interview, of course they'll send the article in advance. By the way, what do you think of the location of our old house? Is it comfortable to live in?"
Chen Rou choked, thinking to herself, Repulse Bay is where Hong Kong's top richest people live, how could it not be comfortable?
She was standing halfway up the mountain, with the sea and sky merging into a vast expanse of blue in the distance, and white sand beaches and rows of white villas nearby—houses she could only live in if she traveled through time.
She said, "Thank you for your concern, Chairman. I'm quite comfortable here."
Nie Rong smiled and said, "You'll get used to it. The building next door has been empty. I originally planned to give it to you and A-Zhao as a wedding gift. Since we're renovating it recently, I'll transfer the ownership to your name."
Actually, that house was bought by him for Mei Lu and Nie Yao, and was intended for him to move into after Nie Zhao returned and took the throne. Therefore, that house was newer, larger, and more luxurious than the old house they were currently living in.
But this richest man is very good at talking; with just a few words, he made it seem like the house was going to be given to Chen Rou.
The mansions in Repulse Bay have long been divided up by established tycoons, and are also rare properties that Hong Kong's new elites cannot buy even with money. So, how could Chen Rou, who doesn't even have her own home, not like it, and how could she bear to refuse it?
Once she nodded, Nie Rong could easily say the rest.
But Chen Rou actually refused, saying, "That house is too expensive, I can't afford it, forget it."
Nie Rong paused for a full thirty seconds on the phone before saying, "You call me Dad, so you are my daughter. No matter what, A Yao is the child I raised. I sincerely hope that he and A Zhao can live in peace. A Rou, your name was given to you by my wife Yu Zhu. Rou means to soothe and calm. Dad has high hopes for you."
Chen Rou knew it; Old Master Nie Rong wouldn't give her things for nothing.
Sure enough, he gave Nie Yao a mansion in Repulse Bay as a gift, also to speak up for him.
Chen Rou, a former soldier, is a straightforward person. She bluntly said, "Father, I can't help Second Master in any way."
“Your Uncle Liang and Uncle Ming both told me that it was fortunate you were there last night,” Nie Rong said again.
In fact, Nie Yao's life or death was not decided by Chen Rou, but by Nie Zhao.
First of all, after discovering that Nie Yao was an imposter Nie Zhao, Gui Tou Rong had no intention of killing him.
Furthermore, Nie Zhao was already lenient by giving Song Yuanchao the position of lead gunman when he knew that Song Yuanchao wouldn't kill people indiscriminately. Later, although he repeatedly forced Liang Lisheng to kill, he still gave her the decision-making power, which was also lenient. He knew that she had been a police officer and knew that she wouldn't kill people indiscriminately.
Nie Zhao's thoughts were complex and unpredictable, and Chen Rou couldn't yet figure out why he let Nie Yao go.
But letting him go doesn't mean he'll give Nie Yao his freedom, because it concerns Nie Zhao's own life and death.
Chen Rou didn't intend to keep Nie Rong in suspense. She simply said, "Father, you know better than I how dire the situation in Hong Kong is right now, and how difficult Ah Zhao and I are. We can avoid provoking others, but if anyone dares to harm Ah Zhao and me, you know I've never liked trouble and prefer quick solutions. As for Nie Yao, I've already done more than enough by letting him go this time."
The implication is that if Nie Yao doesn't cause trouble, fine, but if he dares to act foolishly again and harm Nie Zhao, thereby affecting the suppression of bandits in the Philippines and national unity, then Chen Rou should kill him without hesitation.
Nie Rong's life is very difficult now. Although he doesn't face life-threatening situations like Nie Zhao, he has gone from being the powerful chairman of the Nie family to being relegated to the second line and having to speak to his daughter-in-law in a humble manner. He is quite down on his luck.
However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a wrecked ship still has three thousand nails. After all, he had been the richest man for more than twenty years. Although he had lost his power, he still had plenty of money. He said, "Since I have already said it, I will give you the house as it is. From now on, I entrust Ah Zhao's safety to you. Well then, I'm going to have breakfast. You can go about your business."
After saying that, he hung up the phone before Chen Rou could refuse.
On the hillside, two large houses can be seen side by side, and it is said that one of them belongs to Chen Rou.
Let's leave that aside.
Today is the weekend, and Chen Rou wants to rest and relax for a day. After climbing the mountain, the first thing she should do is have breakfast, read the newspaper, and carefully observe how the various newspapers and television stations in Hong Kong report on the death of Gui Tou Rong.
Of course, the media was stunned when the two bigwigs of Kowloon fell one after another in less than a month.
Every media outlet featured it on their front page, publishing large photos. Some media even asserted that Hong Kong had produced a "gangster killer" who specialized in eliminating Kowloon tycoons. They also published photos of Mr. Yee and Mr. Tung, and then launched a betting program, inviting citizens to buy stocks to see which tycoon was the one who was about to die.
