Li Manni originally thought her brother-in-law had friends at the headquarters of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, and that her brother-in-law had asked for a favor through them. She never imagined that the person helping was the brother-in-law himself!
Mainly because if Yang Hao were at the headquarters of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, he would have told her already.
After all, the “Jiangcheng Evening News” is a subsidiary of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
However, her brother-in-law had never mentioned it.
“Yang Bro…”
“No, Mr. Yang!!”
Xu Wenqian spoke excitedly, intending to continue calling him Yang Bro, but feeling that it was somewhat inappropriate.
“Privately, you can still call me Yang,”
Yang Hao waved his hand, then pointed to the sofa in the reception area, indicating for the two to sit and talk.
“Brother-in-law, when did you become the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group?”
After sitting down, Li Manni asked curiously.
“Just in the last couple of days.”
“That’s what I thought, you never mentioned it before.”
“So, we need to do a good job with the new media; this is our own family business!”
Yang Hao said with a chuckle.
And hearing the words “our own family business,” Li Manni’s cheeks blushed slightly.
But in her heart, she felt a small sweetness.
Our own family business, that means the two are family!
“Yang Bro, how many more secrets do you have?”
“Why don’t you spill them all at once…” Xu Wenqian teased curiously.
“Well, if you put it that way, there really is another one!”
Yang Hao smiled and then said to Li Manni, “I bought a house and it’s still being decorated. I was planning to give you and Xixi a surprise, so I never mentioned it.”
“Then I’ll wait for the day of the surprise reveal!”
Li Manni replied with a smile.
“OK, it’s almost ready!”
Last night, Yang Hao had transferred the remaining fifteen million decoration budget to Meng Yuyu.
Without any surprise, she should already be spending it!
Tianyu Furniture City.
Yang Hao’s guess was completely right.
Meng Chacha was indeed spending money at the moment.
But she wasn’t alone; Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu were also there.
They agreed to produce the design proposal in five days, but with the overtime work by Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu, the design proposal was finished in three days.
Meng Yuyu was very satisfied with the design proposal and promptly settled the final payment.
Today, Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu were helping her select some furniture and decorations. Of course, they just offered suggestions; the final decision was still made by Meng Yuyu.
The Tianyu Furniture City, where the three were now, is the most high-end furniture store in Jiangcheng. It houses international top-tier furniture brands, the kind that are outrageously expensive.
“Yuyu, this sofa set is quite suitable for the main living room; the only drawback is that it’s a bit expensive.”
Ai Yongyi recommended a sofa set, but the price was as high as eight hundred thousand.
“That’s just like robbery!”
Li Manshu couldn’t help but mutter under her breath as she looked at the price tag.
“Then let’s go with this set!”
After examining it, Meng Yuyu didn’t even blink an eye before she said to Ai Yongyi, “Sister Ai Yongyi, could you recommend two more sofa sets? One for my master bedroom and one for the princess room.”
“Okay!”
Ai Yongyi was initially taken aback, then recommended two more sets of sofas, one for four hundred eighty thousand and the other for three hundred sixty thousand.
The three were currently in the Minotti specialty store, which is one of the most luxurious sofa brands in the world, originating from Italy.
Currently, there are no sofas on sale in the store that are less than one hundred thousand, and prices in the hundreds of thousands are routine.
If you aren’t familiar with the brand’s positioning, upon seeing all the hundred thousand price tags, you might subconsciously think you’re reading one digit less, like seeing something priced at 480,000 and assuming it’s just 48,000!
But on closer examination, you find a six-figure sum.
Ai Yongyi had seen the larger world and was familiar with these international top-tier furniture brands.
However, Li Manshu felt like the Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden; the only thought in her mind: way too expensive!!
Take the sofa combination Ai Yongyi just recommended, priced at over eight hundred thousand—more expensive than her own house—absolutely outrageous!!
What was even more outrageous was that after Ai Yongyi’s recommendations, Meng Yuyu hardly hesitated before swiping her card for over one point six million to buy three sofa sets.
That’s right, over one point six million, just for three sofa sets!!
In Jiangcheng, that amount of money could buy a large two-bedroom apartment!
“Sister Ai Yongyi, your taste is really good.”
“I seem to like everything you recommend…” Meng Yuyu said with a beaming smile after paying.
Little bitch enjoyed the feeling of swiping her card, as well as the envious looks from Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu.
Especially Li Manshu, her sister’s emotions were even more elaborate, with shock and envy intertwining repeatedly on her face.
One could even feel a bit of jealousy.
Being envied by a pretty woman adds to Meng Chacha’s sense of accomplishment.
“Yuyu, could you share what your husband does to be so lavish?”
“It’s just too extravagant!”
After exiting the Minotti specialty store and following beside Meng Yuyu, Li Manshu asked curiously.
But this question really stumped Meng Yuyu. Thus far, she didn’t know what exactly Yang Hao did for a living; all she knew was that he was both wealthy and idle.
“He does a bit of everything; his interests span a wide range of industries.”
Meng Yuyu gave a perfunctory response that practically gave no answer at all.
However, Li Manshu nodded in admiration, “That’s really impressive.”
The three of them continued to stroll around the mall for another two hours, with Meng Yuyu spending over four million more.
Even Ai Yongyi, who had seen much in life, was shocked by her speed of spending. In just over three hours of browsing, the sugar baby of this tycoon had spent over six million.
That’s over two million spent per hour!!
Li Manshu’s eyes turned red with envy, imagining how exhilarating it would be if she were the one spending money like that!!
“I’m getting increasingly curious about Miss Meng’s affluent ‘daddy.’
Taking advantage of Meng Yuyu’s trip to the restroom, Ai Yongyi, the gossip-loving design director, expressed her sentiments.
“I’m very curious too!”
Li Manshu spread her hands. In truth, she was not just curious but also hoped to get to know the tycoon; maybe if he liked her type, she could live a life like Meng Yuyu’s.
Even if it were only half, or even a third of Meng Yuyu’s spending level, Li Manshu would be completely satisfied!
“Yongyi, can we get the contact information of her underlying patron?”
After spending some time together, Li Manshu had become more familiar with Ai Yongyi and began to reveal some of her own thoughts.
Ai Yongyi shook her head: “Anyway, it’s hardly possible to get it from Miss Meng. She’s definitely on guard against you, or to be exact, against all attractive women!”
Li Manshu wholeheartedly nodded in agreement. If she had such a wealthy husband, she would certainly hide him away too.
Good things should be enjoyed alone!
“Yongyi, Manshu, it’s getting late; I’ll treat you to dinner!”
“What would you like to eat?”
After coming out of the restroom, Meng Yuyu asked cheerfully.
“We’re fine with anything; it’s up to your preference,” Ai Yongyi responded politely.
“Then let’s have Western food.”
“There’s a nice Western restaurant nearby,” suggested Meng Yuyu.
Ai Yongyi and Li Manshu naturally had no objections.
Soon, the three arrived at the Western restaurant mentioned by Meng Yuyu.
During the meal, Li Manshu tried to gently probe for more information about Meng Yuyu’s secret patron, but as expected, Meng Chacha did not reveal a single word, just as Ai Yongyi had analyzed: she was wary of beautiful women.
Halfway through the meal, Meng Yuyu suddenly received a WeChat message from Yang Hao. It was a location.
He asked her to come over.
In Meng Chacha’s heart, Yang ranked first.
“Yongyi, Manshu, sorry, something came up and I have to leave!”
“You guys take your time eating; I’ve settled the bill.”
Meng Yuyu didn’t bother with the steak she had barely touched, grabbed her purse, and dashed out of the Western restaurant.
“I told you so, she’s tight-lipped!”
After Meng Yuyu left, Ai Yongyi said to Li Manshu.
“Exactly, high-quality men are always sought after by everyone!” Li Manshu lamented.
Meng Yuyu left the Western restaurant and followed the location sent by Yang Hao.
The destination was a place called “Colorful Dance Training Center.”
Meng Chacha couldn’t guess Yang’s intentions, but she played obedient because she knew men liked women who listened.
Half an hour later, Meng Yuyu arrived at her destination.
It was a two-story commercial building, with “Colorful Dance Training Center” hung conspicuously at the most visible spot.
Meng Yuyu entered the center to find Yang Hao chatting with a middle-aged woman around forty years old.
“Yang!”
Meng Yuyu called out sweetly, then went over to affectionately link her arm through Yang Hao’s.
“Sign this contract.”
Yang Hao promptly handed Meng Yuyu a contract.
“Huh?”
“What contract?”
Meng Yuyu was utterly confused, clueless about the situation.
“Just take a look and you’ll know.”
Yang Hao shrugged. He had called Meng Yuyu over naturally to fulfill a mission.
This was all thanks to Xu Yali’s work efficiency; the task Yang Hao had given her in the morning was completed by afternoon, finding this dance training center that was up for sale.
In fact, it was a commercial space for sale and the dance training center had been run by the previous tenant. Now, the tenant had left, but the dance studios were well-furnished.
The contract Yang Hao gave to Meng Yuyu was the sale agreement for this commercial space, so it was easy to understand.
After reading it, Meng Yuyu was naturally overjoyed: “Yang, are you giving this place to me??”
The contract clearly stated the commercial space was sold for 6.6 million!
Despite Meng Yuyu having just spent over six million, that wasn’t her own money, and she might not even use the things she bought.
But this commercial space was different; Yang Hao was obviously buying it for her, in her name.
“Aren’t you a dancer?”
“Giving you this property is perfect for starting a dance training center…”
Yang Hao replied indifferently.
The System had given Meng Chacha two billion in spending money, and to date, she had not spent a penny of it.
So this 6.6 million was truly just a drop in the ocean!
