Facing the inquisitive gazes of the two women, Yang Hao slowly stood up and then straightened his somewhat disheveled hair, putting down the screwdriver that should not be in the hands of Mr. Yang like this…
Um, a piece of BGM is missing!
That segment from “Kangxi Dynasty Incognito Visit Notes.”
Whenever an identity was revealed, that powerful and inspiring melody would rise.
Yang Hao self-imagined a piece of BGM, then said seriously, “Actually, I am the new President of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!”
“Ah?”
Jiang Yuqi was completely bewildered, her pretty eyes filled with shock.
Obviously, she believed it!
However, Cai Meichen burst into laughter, “You are the President of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group?”
“Then how comes I, the President’s wife, don’t recognize you??”
“Um??”
“President’s wife??”
Now it was Yang Hao’s turn to be flustered. He paused for a moment before realizing that this woman didn’t believe him and was just saying this.
Hearing her auntie say this, Jiang Yuqi also realized that Yang seemed to be joking.
If he really were the President of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, how could he have possibly come to fix her range hood.
That’s just too absurd!
“Yang, can you fix it?”
Jiang Yuqi felt that Yang Hao’s joke was a bit awkward, so she simply changed the subject.
“It’s already fixed.”
“Just needs to be reinstalled!”
The skill given by the System was indeed awesome, Yang Hao fixed the range hood quite easily.
“That was fast!”
“Yang, you’re amazing!”
Jiang Yuqi exclaimed with admiration.
Yang Hao thought this line sounded very familiar; of course, it was the second one.
The first one was Fat Peng’s exclusive!
Whenever he finished fixing the range hood, Wang Xueru always exclaimed with the second sentiment…
Now Mrs. Jiang was also praising him like this, indeed, a man with good skills was popular!
“It was nothing.”
Yang Hao shrugged smugly, then quickly reinstalled the range hood and turned on the power to test the performance. Strong suction and the sound of the motor were just right.
Perfect!
Yang Hao was very satisfied with his work.
Who says a President can’t fix range hoods?
Mr. Yang’s specialty is possessing good skills, focused on fixing range hoods for twenty years!
“Yang, thank you so much. Let’s have dinner together!”
Jiang Yuqi extended the invitation.
“Not today, some other day!”
Yang Hao waved his hand, as he needed to pick up Xixi from class.
“You’re picking up Xixi, aren’t you?”
Jiang Yuqi also thought of this.
“Mhm.”
Yang Hao nodded.
“Then another time.”
“I’ll invite you and Xixi for a meal,” Jiang Yuqi said politely.
“All right then, let’s settle on that!”
Yang Hao didn’t decline and left directly after gathering his toolbox.
“Yang, see you tomorrow~”
“Mhm, see you tomorrow!”
Yang Hao waved at Jiang Yuqi, then glanced at Cai Meichen who was sitting on the sofa taking a call, and joked, “Goodbye, Mrs. President!”
Cai Meichen, who was on the phone, gave him a roll of her eyes in response.
To her, this man seemed a bit pretentious.
After Yang Hao left, Cai Meichen also just finished her call and asked Jiang Yuqi, “Qiqi, does this Mr. Yang not have a wife?”
“Yeah, Yang has divorced,”
Jiang Yuqi truthfully responded.
“I guessed as much.”
Cai Meichen pursed her lips, “He came over to help you fix the range hood so eagerly, it’s clear he has designs on you.”
“Eh?”
“No way!”
Jiang Yuqi shook her head, “I asked him to help me.”
“But he laid the groundwork first, otherwise how would you know he could fix range hoods.”
“I’m telling you, Qiqi, these older men have deep schemes…”
Cai Meichen spoke gravely.
“Ah?”
“That can’t be it!”
Jiang Yuqi recalled how she came to know that Yang Hao could fix range hoods.
It was during the parent-child sports day when she used Yang Hao’s phone to help take pictures, and then someone suddenly sent him a message complaining about a range hood issue…
If it was deliberately planned, the timing couldn’t have been that precise.
“Auntie, you’ve seen too many bad people.”
“Yang is a pretty dependable person, raising his daughter on his own, he takes really good care of Xixi and is a great dad!”
Jiang Yuqi rebutted her auntie’s view.
After hearing her great-niece’s words, Cai Meichen frowned, as her own brother had abandoned his wife and daughter early on, resulting in Jiang Yuqi growing up without a father’s love.
Therefore, men significantly older than her tended to attract her more.
“Qiqi, you don’t actually have feelings for him, do you?”
“I advise you to wake up!!” Cai Meichen warned with a serious face.
“I do have a good impression of him, but not the kind you’re thinking of!”
“I just think Yang is a very good person. It’s not easy for him to raise Xixi alone,” Jiang Yuqi explained.
“So, you want to be someone’s stepmother?”
Cai Meichen gave her niece a white look. Even though she was an elder, her relationship with Jiang Yuqi was kind of funny. The age gap between them wasn’t significant, so the way they got along was not much different from friends.
Jiang Yuqi hardly regarded this aunt as an actual elder, so when they chatted, they would sometimes tease each other like besties and even get angry at times!
Seeing her aunt getting more and more ridiculous, Jiang Yuqi indignantly retorted, “Yeah, right, I want to be Xixi’s stepmother!”
“Fine, I’ll call your mom right now and see if she agrees…”
“Then call!”
Jiang Yuqi adopted a defiant attitude, as if she was ready for everything to fall apart.
“You really think I won’t call??”
Cai Meichen lifted her phone, pretending she was about to tattle.
And so, the aunt and niece, harmonious just moments before, suddenly found themselves at odds…
Starlight City.
Haidilao Hot Pot.
Sun Xinyi and Xu Yali, childhood friends of twenty years, sat opposite each other.
“Xinyi, you actually know my boss?”
Xu Yali’s eyes were wide with disbelief, the four characters practically written on her face.
“Do you remember that Yang I told you about?”
“The one who gave you the LV bracelet, and the Prada handbag?”
“Mhm, that’s him!”
Sun Xinyi nodded, then said, “He is your boss, the President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!”
“Holy shit!”
“Really??”
Xu Yali was thoroughly shocked, cursing out loud.
“How could something like that be fake?” Sun Xinyi shook her head.
“So, you’re saying, my boss is actually chasing after my best friend???”
Xu Yali came to such a conclusion.
However, Sun Xinyi let out a sigh, “He is your boss, that’s true, but it seems he’s no longer chasing me.”
“He’s not chasing you, yet he bought you an LV bracelet, a Prada bag?”
“Has he gone mad???”
Xu Yali couldn’t fathom.
Sun Xinyi had no secrets with this friend, and explained, “Initially, he seemed interested, but I didn’t respond enthusiastically, right?”
“Then, another female coach at our fitness center took the initiative.”
“Now, it seems they’re together. Yang bought her a Mercedes worth over half a million, and he’s even letting her help decorate the mansion…”
Holy cow!!
Hearing this, Xu Yali cursed again, giving her friend a scornful glance: “Xinyi, are you stupid or what?”
“Didn’t I tell you to seize the opportunity?”
“This was your chance to climb the social ladder, an opportunity some people never get in their whole life!”
Sun Xinyi sighed gently, indeed feeling some regret.
“So, what’s your status with him now?”
Xu Yali asked again.
“Right, now to the main point I was going to tell you.”
Sun Xinyi perked up, “Yang asked me to become his secretary, and he said to bring you along!”
“Ah?”
“Secretary??”
“And he said for me to bring you along?”
Now, Xu Yali was the one baffled, but her friend had indeed brought her some good news.
If Mr. Yang really meant for her to bring Sun Xinyi, she wouldn’t be transferred or fired.
“He wants to keep you close!”
After a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Yali spoke again, “So, Xinyi, you still have a chance!”
“I’ll go with you to buy a suit later!”
“Knock him dead tomorrow!!”
The next day.
Jiangcheng Newspaper Group Headquarters.
Commissioner He Shuangshuang had just started her computer.
When the sound of high heels clacking on the floor echoed in the hallway, she instinctively looked up to see a tall, leggy beauty in a professional suit approaching her.
“Hello, is this Human Resources?”
The beauty approached politely.
“Yes, may I ask who you are?”
He Shuangshuang stood up from her seat and asked courteously.
“I’m here to report for work.”
“My name is Sun Xinyi,” the beauty revealed her name.
“Are you here to report or for an interview?”
He Shuangshuang was puzzled; they had interviews scheduled today but no new hires were expected.
“Uh, to report.”
Sun Xinyi hesitated briefly before affirming her purpose.
“I haven’t received any notification. Which department?” He Shuangshuang inquired.
“The President’s Office…” Sun Xinyi answered.
“The President’s Office is hiring today; you’re here for the interview, right?” He Shuangshuang mistook the beauty for an interviewee.
Before she could finish her sentence, Wang Zhen, the HR manager, hurried over with a smile, “Miss Sun, are you the one?”
“Mhm, I’m Sun Xinyi.”
“Hello, I’m Wang Zhen, the HR manager. I just received the notification. Please follow me!”
“Shuangshuang, prepare a contract and bring it to the meeting room!”
Wang Zhen had just received a call from Wei Zhengyi, who mentioned that Mr. Yang had personally selected a new secretary and an assistant.
And upon seeing Sun Xinyi in person, Wang Zhen couldn’t help but silently criticize: Isn’t this supposed to be hiring a secretary? It’s basically recruiting for the harem!
He courteously ushered Sun Xinyi into the meeting room, Wang Zhen personally poured her a glass of water, and then asked, “Miss Sun, your position is the secretary at the President’s Office, correct?”
Sun Xinyi nodded, “That’s correct.”
After receiving a firm answer, Wang Zhen continued, “The contract hasn’t arrived yet, but let me briefly discuss the terms of your position.”
“Upon joining, your grade will be T4, with a monthly salary of 12K and fifteen salaries a year.”
“The bonus for the President’s Office is decided personally by the President, so the exact amount is uncertain, but conservatively estimated, the annual salary won’t be less than 250,000…”
