Chapter 579: Facing Yang Tao

After I said this, Yang Tao's expression changed.

"Zhao Jianqiang, don't bring up the past, okay? The past is past; we're now talking about the present matter. How do we resolve the four hundred million?"

"Oh, don't rush, I want to recall a bit of the past; we've indeed experienced so many real things between us. I want to recall it little by little." I said that and then took another puff of a cigarette.

"Zhao Jianqiang, you need to understand, my current status is that of an overseas person, someone with foreign nationality, no longer equal to you; the past, don't mention it." Yang Tao said angrily.

Damn, having foreign nationality makes you act all high and mighty, what's so great about it,

Being a dog abroad,

coming back you think you're superior, thinking you're amazing, after going abroad and getting foreign nationality you can look down on everything.

Don't even talk about getting foreign nationality, it's like getting a Martian citizenship,

In my eyes you're still the same person, nothing has changed.

I said to Yang Tao, "How can you not bring it up? Yang Tao, you know what you've done, you certainly don't want to mention it, you have nothing praiseworthy.

All are shameful.

After you met me, you then got to know Liu Xian through me,

After climbing up to Liu Xian, you drove away Xia Yuan.

I didn't expect Liu Xian to fall from power,

you then followed Liu Shiru,

In the end, it was still me who helped you escape from Liu Shiru's grasp.

You then followed Director Qi, went abroad, wanting to whitewash yourself,

Yang Tao, don't think that going abroad and getting some damn foreign nationality changes anything; what you've done and the people you've experienced cannot be changed.

Don't act superior,

Any foreign nationality is nothing in my eyes.

My national self-esteem is strong.

If you bring up being foreign again, we have nothing to talk about. Damn, what nonsense.

Anyone can go abroad; after going abroad, a clown can become a master, can become nobility.

I want to tell you, those so-called nobles are all dirty,

They are more selfish, shameless, and vile. Strip away their identities and you'll see those nobles' hands are stained with blood.

Yang Tao, your hands are pale and lazy; I don't want you, after a few years abroad, to have your hands also stained with that so-called blood." I said angrily.

Yang Tao, hearing me expose her old background, her face looked awful.

Gritting her teeth, she said nothing.

Damn it, I'll trample all you fake foreigners underfoot.

Especially some people, once they go abroad, think even more highly of themselves.

Actually, each person knows best what they are.

"Zhao Jianqiang, have you said enough? My past has its unspeakable aspects, but your success also couldn't be without my help; without me, you wouldn't have today." Yang Tao roared.

"Yeah, I'm afraid of that, so I've discarded all my past achievements; my past honors have nothing to do with me now.

Yang Tao, I want to tell you, Da Heng Group truly has no relation to me anymore.

That four hundred million, I truly cannot give it to you."

"What, Zhao Jianqiang, you want to renege on the debt? Zhao Jianqiang, I have a contract, it's clearly written in black and white. If you do that, believe it or not, I can have people arrest you.

Zhao Jianqiang, don't go too far." Yang Tao was furious.

"I'm so scared, Yang Tao, you know what I've been through. I could gain freedom, I've endured so much hardship.

You come along, just open your mouth, the credit is yours, and you also want money—this is too easy.

Arrest me then,

who are you planning to get, Director Qi or Wang Ge and his gang to help.

Come on, arrest me; if Zhao Jianqiang were even a bit scared, he wouldn't bear the surname Zhao.

After I said that, I glared at Yang Tao.

Damn, still trying to scare me.

Looking at my appearance, Yang Tao immediately changed her demeanor.

"Jianqiang, don't misunderstand. I don't mean that; Lao Qi has been constantly mentioning you,

if he weren't busy with urgent matters, he would have come to Zaocheng to drink with you.

Including Wang Ge, who also praises you.

Jianqiang, we argue as soon as we meet; this isn't good, is it?"

"Yeah, I don't want to argue either, but some people force it. Some words, some matters, if spoken humbly, we can still talk; if we act high and mighty, there's no way to talk." I smoked while looking at Yang Tao.

"Please sit, Jianqiang, what tea would you like? Try this black tea I brought from the United Kingdom; it's popular there." Yang Tao said, bringing over an exquisite tea canister, preparing to pour tea for me.

I quickly waved my hand: "No need to pour, I don't drink."

"Try it, these are all organic tea, no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Unlike the tea here, which is all sprayed with pesticides.

Drinking it harms the body.

You should know that food inspection there is very strict,

standards are very high.

I like abroad because they genuinely care about everyone's health." Yang Tao also unconsciously said proudly.

"One land's water and soil nurtures its people; I can't help it, I was born here and only like local things. For foreign food, I have no enthusiasm.

Yang Tao, you should know that foreigners drinking tea learned it from us.

Back then, our tea leaves were luxury goods in their eyes.

All that talk about organic or inorganic is just their propaganda,

They deliberately exaggerate the safety of their food.

They try to find ways to slander us.

Hmph, the chemical fertilizers and pesticides are the ones they first develop and use, and now they claim organics are better.

In short, they think they're right; whatever they eat is the best.

Whatever we eat is the worst.

The foreign devils look down on us deep down.

What do they have? I still look down on them.

That includes the United Kingdom; I've been there too. Besides fried potatoes, fish fillets, steaks, and lettuce, what else do they have?

Blindly worshipping people erodes self‑respect.

But one must not be blindly arrogant.

This organic tea is even sold in our local supermarkets,

and it's not some fresh novelty.

In consumption we now have many varieties to choose from; we're no longer limited to the single items of the past.

Yang Tao, what I want to tell you is that we have been developing all along.

Never speak of yours or ours as if you had grown up in the United Kingdom.

It's just that you lived abroad for a while.

Don't feel like your skin has turned completely white.

I deliberately said Yang Tao.

After Yang Tao heard me finish, their face turned a bit red.

What I hate most is people who, after going abroad for just two days, denigrate their own country and blindly worship foreigners.

Especially online there's a girl who, once she steps into a foreign land, finds the air fragrant and sweet,

I really don't know how much fake liquor his father drank to produce such a bastard child.

Is everything abroad really good?

I don't deny that we still have a huge gap with developed countries.

But we are working hard to close that gap.

In fact, if you go to those developed countries, you'll see their cities have good aspects and bad aspects—some are even dirtier, messier, and worse than ours.

Yet many people only see the beautiful parts of foreign lands and never notice their dirty, chaotic sides.

Yang Tao set the tea leaves down,

then said, "Jianqiang, I'm not that kind of person. Although I lived abroad for a long time, I still love our country, truly,

don't misunderstand me.

I go out also hoping to use the chance to promote our culture, so foreigners know we also have excellent culture."
