“Yang, when can I start working?”
Wang Bingru asked eagerly.
“Tomorrow.”
“Ah, that’s great!”
Wang Bingru hadn’t expected Brother Yang to be so efficient, and her face instantly lit up with a smile, “Yang, which company will we be at? And what will my specific position be?”
Wang Bingru was a person who liked to be well-organized and wanted to prepare in advance.
“Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.”
“CEO’s assistant,” Yang Hao replied truthfully.
“Ah??”
“Jiangcheng Newspaper!!”
Wang Bingru was shocked, her eyes widening, as she had expected it to be some small company.
She hadn’t anticipated it to be such a large corporation with official backing!
“Yang, are you sure I’m up for it?”
If it had been a small company, Wang Bingru felt she could manage, but facing such a large corporation, she felt somewhat panicked.
“Whether you’re suited for the job, I can’t judge. However, I can offer you the opportunity,” Yang Hao said.
“Mm-hmm, I will certainly work hard and not let you down, Yang!” Wang Bingru nodded seriously.
Yang Hao smiled and didn’t continue the subject. He had come over at this moment, in fact, to give himself some extra training.
Because each time he fixed a range hood, he would lose a significant amount of weight.
It showed that this activity genuinely burned fat.
Unexpectedly, Yang Hao, coming with this intent, had accidentally gained a new assistant.
“Yang, let’s talk about the business upstairs,”
Wang Xueru, at her age, understood all there was to understand. The average life expectancy for men in China is 70.31 years, while for women, it is 75.33 years.
Yang Hao thought that the reason men have a shorter lifespan has something to do with the crazy demands women make at this stage.
But then again, there’s another side to it.
Just like the soul-searching question from the first part of “If You Are the One”: Is it really that fun?

Yang Hao’s answer was the same as Uncle Ge’s.
It’s interesting…
So, you can’t blame women for it.
It’s all because you can’t even control your own brother!
And that’s when someone will sanctimoniously say: It’s not that I don’t want to control it, it’s that my brother has his own mind!
So, Yang Hao and Wang Xueru went upstairs together.
The seven private rooms—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—three had already been unlocked. Today, the two of them entered the blue one.
Because her sister was downstairs, Wang Xueru was quite nervous.
But Wang Bingru, downstairs, was like a buff for Yang Hao. He was quite excited and intentionally increased the intensity…
“Sister Lu, is that Brother Yang my sister’s boyfriend?”
Wang Bingru leaned on the bar, wanting to know about her sister and Brother Yang.
“Probably.”
In fact, Zhao Lu didn’t really know what their relationship was. She only knew that they came to the store together that day.
She was just an employee and dared not inquire about the boss’s private life. She wasn’t close enough yet. However, through her observation and another employee, Mao Shuang, she guessed they were likely in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
“`
Even if they’re not boyfriend and girlfriend, they must have a relationship that exceeds friendship, because yesterday, Yang also went upstairs with the boss to the private room to discuss work…
But the process of discussing work was quite intense, with Zhao Lu and Mao Shuang being able to hear the sounds of tables and chairs colliding with walls downstairs, and occasionally, the boss’s shouts.
They must have had some difficulty in their discussion, leading to a dispute!
“Adult relationships are very complicated, whether or not they’re boyfriend and girlfriend actually isn’t that important,” Mao Shuang whispered.
Wang Bingru nodded slightly, sort of understanding the relationship between her sister and that Yang.
He couldn’t be called a prospective brother-in-law.
It was probably more of a “temporary brother-in-law” relationship.
Wang Bingru actually empathized with her sister’s choice; she knew about her sister’s divorce from her former brother-in-law and firmly supported her sister.
She had long felt that there was something wrong with that ex-brother-in-law’s character.
During her sophomore summer break, she visited her sister’s house, only to find the ex-brother-in-law’s gaze constantly circling around her, and he was overly attentive.
Mostly, you can sense when a man harbors lecherous intentions, and Wang Bingru received such a signal, scaring her off from visiting her sister’s home afterward.
But she couldn’t bring this up to her sister; after all, there was no evidence, and their marital relationship seemed fine from the outside.
As the three of them were whispering their gossip, a couple that looked like lovers entered the shop.
Zhao Lu and Mao Shuang immediately greeted them, while Wang Bingru went back to her original seat and started looking up information on the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group online.
The couple ordered two cups of coffee and two pastries and then headed straight upstairs.
Clearly, this wasn’t the couple’s first visit to the shop; they knew there were private rooms upstairs that provided more privacy and were better suited for dates than downstairs.
Watching the couple’s backs as they ascended, Zhao Lu couldn’t help but feel anxious for the boss and Yang, who were discussing work upstairs.
If they were disturbed, wouldn’t the work discussion go poorly?
Obviously, this clerk who lacked romantic experience had not yet understood the intention behind Huang Qing’s order for her to check upstairs intermittently that day.
If Miss Color were here, she would’ve personally escorted the young couple upstairs, then walked around the door of the private room in her high heels…
The young couple chose the “Purple” room, which was adjacent to the “Blue” private room.
After entering the room, the two cuddled up and started being affectionate, a normal interaction between young lovers.
But, after a while, they felt the atmosphere next door was a bit off, and under its influence, the extent of their interaction involuntarily grew more intimate…
When Zhao Lu finished serving the coffee and dessert and left, the two completely let go of their inhibitions!
Come on!
Let’s hurt each other!
Let’s see which private room’s negotiations are more intense!
However, this young man in his early twenties clearly had no experience with such situations, and under the multiple buffs, he surrendered after not too long…
“Hmm, I’m a bit tired, not in the mood.”
Although only in his twenties, the young man had already mastered the common tactics of men.
And his girlfriend was very considerate, praising him with a smile, “You already did great!”
Though she said this, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the wall shared by the two private rooms.
She was filled with curiosity about what was happening on the other side…
About twenty minutes passed.
The storm subsided.
The young man let out a sigh of relief, cursing inwardly: Damn, it’s finally over!
Now even this has to be competitive, huh!
Does anyone get to live in peace anymore!!
While he was grumbling to himself, he then heard the door of the next private room open, and the people left.
However, moments later.
“`
A server knocked on the door of their private room, delivering a fruit platter.
“Beauty, is there a mistake?”
“We didn’t order a fruit platter?”
The young guy was utterly confused.
“It’s a gift from our lady boss, thanking you both for patronizing!”
Zhao Lu relayed Yang Hao’s words truthfully.
Indeed, it was Yang Hao who had instructed her to send up the fruit platter.
Wang Xueru is the boss, so as the boss’s man, it wouldn’t be too much for her to call Yang Hao “lady boss,” right?
“Ah?”
“Patronizing?”
“What kind of patronizing??”
The young guy was still utterly confused.
But Zhao Lu, who had completed her task, had already left.
Downstairs.
Wang Xueru brewed a pot of chrysanthemum tea for Yang Hao and then added an extra handful of goji berries.
Although he was very strong.
He could still be stronger…
Yang Hao glanced at the beautiful young matron and thought to himself that women of this age indeed were like the grim reaper!
If it had been Meng Chacha just now, she probably wouldn’t be able to get up yet, after all, little bitch, who had just opened the doors to a new world, was not that durable yet.
Thinking of Meng Chacha made Yang Hao remember the NPC No. 2’s task for the week.
Complete little bitch’s small wish and then be rewarded with a bottle of Kidney-Strengthening Potion.
Previously, Yang Hao thought this reward would be just the icing on the cake for him, not particularly urgent.
But now, he thought he might as well give the potion a try.
Then show Wang Xueru, this beautiful young matron, a thing or two!
He had sent a message to the agent, Wang Xiuxiu, the day before, and she had said she would keep an eye out for him, but there was still no feedback.
Well, he would assign this task to Xu Yali tomorrow.
See how efficient she was at handling things.
“Xueru, are you free this afternoon?”
“How about accompanying me for a shopping trip at the mall?”
Yang Hao, who had become CEO Yang, wanted to buy a few suits at the mall.
He hardly ever had the chance to wear suits when running the hotpot restaurant; his wardrobe was almost all casual wear, but now things were different. As the CEO of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, he needed to have a few suits that made a statement.
And those luxury brand suits were not cheap, often costing hundreds of thousands!
After spending over nine hundred thousand on a Porsche Cayenne for Li Manni yesterday, he had less than three million left in his bank account.
He didn’t really want to spend this money, so he thought about skimming some of Wang Xueru’s special expenditure funds.
There was still more than ninety million left, impossible to spend it all!
Wang Xueru indeed looked forward to having some normal interactions with Yang Hao; if every encounter was just that kind of business, then they were truly just friends with benefits.
But Wang Xueru had quite a fondness for Yang Hao, and although she had just ended a marriage, she might not talk about love again, yet being with Yang Hao felt very comfortable.
After experiencing a failed marriage, Wang Xueru had come to understand that titles and ceremonies weren’t important when two people were together.
What was important was feeling comfortable with each other, being happy, and not having internal friction.
“Yang, how about you bring Bingru along?”
“She’s supposed to intern at your place tomorrow, why not buy her a suit as well?”
Wang Xueru took the initiative to suggest bringing her sister along.
Mature women really know what’s best.
Yang Hao naturally wouldn’t oppose, and he smiled and nodded, “Then let’s all go together~!”
“Eh, are you going shopping?”
“That’s great…”
Wang Bingru, who overheard their conversation, was very happy. Although she considered herself a study buff, she wasn’t just about studying; she had been active in the student council throughout her college years, which gave her a broad social circle and made her personality more outgoing.
So, Yang Hao led the two sisters out of the coffee shop.
After getting into the driver’s seat of the Overlook U8, Yang Hao didn’t rush to start the car but first transferred ten million to Wang Xueru, then said with a full-on swagger, “Xueru, I transferred some pocket money for you, spend it!”
Because her sister was there, Wang Xueru didn’t sit in the passenger seat but sat in the back with her sister.
After hearing Yang Hao’s words, she was a bit baffled. Although Yang had bought the coffee shop for her, he hadn’t given her cash directly before.
And now, out of the blue, he mentioned giving her spending money, which left Wang Xueru completely in the dark.
However, following Yang Hao’s words, her phone did ring.
It was a text message from the bank.
Wang Xueru didn’t check the message immediately but waved her hand and declined, “Yang, I’m not short of money now!”
“It’s not about whether you’re short on money or not, it’s about me wanting to spend money on you!” said Yang Hao with the tone of a domineering CEO.
“Ah? That…”
Wang Xueru shyly glanced at her sister next to her, feeling sweetened by this kind of line that you only find in idol dramas.
Such lines might seem tacky on TV, even making you feel physically uncomfortable.
But women are born with a love for romance, and when idol drama merges with reality, even if they initially feel the man’s words are cheesy, it feels sweet inside, especially if you already have a fondness for him…
Wang Bingru, who listened to their conversation, blinked her beautiful eyes, her lips curling up subconsciously.
She felt like she was watching a middle-aged idol drama.
Yeah, turns out middle-aged people’s love can be so sweet too…
“Sis, just accept it,” said Wang Bingru as she chimed in with encouragement.
“It’s Yang’s sincere gesture.”
“Er, okay then,” Wang Xueru conceded.
“But Yang, what’s mine is yours, it’s all the same…” While her sister was there, Wang Xueru felt she still needed to make her stance clear.
Wang Bingru, who was once again hit with the couple’s vibe, smiled brightly.
Wow, how sweet!!
Please continue…
Yang Hao smiled and nodded, starting the car.
Wang Xueru then opened the text message from the bank. She had to acknowledge Yang’s kindness, after all.
Wang Bingru leaned over curiously, wanting to see just how much this “pocket money” Yang Hao was talking about was…
Then in the next second, both sisters were stunned!
Both sets of beautiful eyes widened as if they were little lanterns…
After a moment of shock, Wang Bingru’s voice trembled as she counted: ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million!!!
Ten million!!!
