Zhao Lichun had no choice but to bite the bullet and seek help from his retired leader.
And so, Zhao Lichun's former boss made the call to Shen Lei, who was in Hong Kong.
Over the phone, the former leader earnestly instructed Shen Lei:
"Go and talk to Mr. Lei, and put the matter out in the open."
"It wasn't a big deal to begin with, so please ask him to be lenient and let's just let it go... and make it a small matter."
Shen Lei thought about it and realized that made sense.
After all, neither Lei Hao nor Tazhai suffered any losses, so there was no need to make things so tense.
...
Tsuen Wan, Lei's Holdings headquarters, Chairman's office.
"Secretary Zhao, come here and take a look at my leg."
Lei Hao casually crossed his legs, his gaze falling on Zhao Xiaolan, who was dressed in an office lady suit, laces, and high heels, his tone tinged with amusement.
A blush of humiliation flashed across Elaine Chao's face.
She glared fiercely at Lei Hao, then stubbornly turned her head away, refusing to respond.
Lei Hao was not angry at all; there was only a faint smile on his lips.
He calmly took a black stun gun from his desk drawer.
With a "click," he pressed the switch.
The tip of the stick instantly crackled with a blinding blue arc of electricity, emitting a hissing sound of current!
The sudden, terrifying sight made Zhao Xiaolan's face turn deathly pale, and her body involuntarily shrank back.
"Since you won't examine my legs," Lei Hao said calmly, as if discussing the weather, "then, can't you at least massage my shoulders?"
His words sounded calm and collected, but they were filled with an undeniable and irresistible pressure.
Zhao Xiaolan stood there, her heart churning with inner turmoil, her expression shifting constantly.
After hesitating for about ten seconds...
She finally gave in and obediently walked behind Lei Hao's large chair.
She reached out her slightly trembling hand and began to massage his shoulders.
Compared to the previous extremely humiliating request, this request seems barely acceptable.
Forced to stay by Lei Hao's side these past few days, he hasn't done anything substantial to harm her.
But whenever she disobeys or tries to resist.
Lei Hao particularly liked to use all sorts of exciting and frightening things to threaten her.
However, that’s all.
He has never done anything truly outrageous.
Every day, she was required to handle Lei Hao's routine administrative affairs, organize mountains of documents, and arrange his packed schedule.
From the very beginning, there was strong resistance and resentment.
Later, they gradually became numb and mechanically carried out orders.
In this process, she was forced to come into contact with only a small part of Lei Hao's vast business empire.
While casually flipping through Hong Kong financial newspapers, Elaine Chao came across a large number of explosive reports about Raymond Lam.
Lei Hao's legendary achievement of earning HK$160 billion in just six months is known to almost everyone in Hong Kong.
Lei Hao's name rose like a comet, frequently appearing on the headlines of major financial media outlets.
He is hailed as Hong Kong's youngest, most legendary, and most promising business tycoon!
Chapter 106 Tell me, is my business big or not?
She also began to cautiously engage in limited communication with her colleagues at the company.
Through subtle questioning, she confirmed these astonishing facts once again.
Furthermore, she was astonished to discover that the business miracles created by Lei Hao were far more extensive than those reported in the newspapers.
This was followed by other covert and massive investment schemes.
In less than a year, his personal wealth has approached a staggering HK$200 billion!
This astronomical figure left Elaine Chao feeling suffocated like never before.
Elaine Chao, through years of hard work and leveraging her family background and personal skills, has recently managed to amass a fortune of tens of millions by selling color TVs.
This was once an achievement she was very proud of.
However, the man before him was unfathomable.
The wealth he controlled and accumulated was already a cloud that she could never reach in her entire life!
She further learned that Lei Hao had a vast network of connections and influence in Hong Kong.
While not exactly all-powerful, they are a force that can shake Hong Kong with a single stomp of their foot.
He has a deeply entrenched network of connections in the police force, triads, and the business world.
His influence and power far exceed the reach of her family in mainland China.
Zhao Xiaolan's perception of Lei Hao is undergoing a complete transformation.
Fear was gradually replaced by a strange sense of awe.
Just then, the company receptionist called to say that a Mr. Shen from XHS was coming to visit.
A strange look flashed in Lei Hao's eyes; he hadn't expected this person to come looking for him.
A glint also flashed in Zhao Xiaolan's eyes; she knew that this person was most likely coming to find her.
Two days ago, Lei Hao was downstairs at Xuewang Beverages discussing something with Wang Fengyi.
This was a rare occasion when he wasn't with Zhao Xiaolan.
She secretly picked up the office landline and dialed her father Zhao Lichun's number.
The phone rang several times before it was answered.
"Hey, Dad!" Zhao Xiaolan lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement and a guilty conscience.
"Xiao Lan?! Where...where are you?!" Zhao Lichun's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with surprise and worry.
“Dad, I’m fine. I’m in Hong Kong,” Zhao Xiaolan said. “I’ve seen Lei Hao.”
"Hong Kong?! What are you doing in Hong Kong?!" Zhao Lichun's voice rose instantly, his tone complicated.
There was joy at her daughter's safety, but also unease about Lei Hao.
He understood that Lei Hao was behind all of this.
"How are you doing? Have you been wronged?!" Zhao Lichun hurriedly asked, concerned about her situation.
His biggest worry was that Lei Hao would harm his daughter.
Zhao Xiaolan glanced at Lei Hao not far away, but he seemed unaware.
"Dad, I'm doing well, don't worry," Zhao Xiaolan lied.
“Lei Hao treated me like a VIP, and I learned how to do business from him.”
She knew that her father had no way to deal with things in Hong Kong and that she had to rely on herself.
Lei Hao's impressive strength made her feel that perhaps following him was the best choice.
Zhao Lichun, on the other end of the phone, was not about to believe his daughter's answer; he simply took it as her words of comfort.
Even Lei Hao, who was in Hong Kong, couldn't do anything about it.
After learning that his daughter was safe and sound, he could only tell her to keep in touch and repeatedly reminded Zhao Xiaolan to be careful.
He would also ask his former superiors for help to reassure Zhao Xiaolan so that he could bring her back soon.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief.
She felt like she had successfully committed a thief's crime.
Little did she know that Lei Hao turned a blind eye to all her actions.
Because every phone call the company makes is under Abu's surveillance.
This is Lei Hao's plan to prevent corporate espionage.
"Secretary Zhao." Lei Hao's voice suddenly rang out, startling Zhao Xiaolan.
"You just called home a couple of days ago to let them know you were safe, right? I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly."
Zhao Xiaolan's body suddenly stiffened.
Her face turned deathly pale instantly.
He... he actually knew?!
