Sun Xinyi just couldn’t stand it anymore and decided to lay all the cards on the table.
As soon as she spoke up, everyone present was instantly stunned.
The President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!!
That title still carried a lot of weight.
Even if people didn’t know much about Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, the title “President” alone was already intimidating enough.
These days, there were many people carrying titles like “Manager” or “General Manager,” but few dared to carry the title of “President.”
After all, President implied that it was a very large group.
It was different for a Manager; any salesperson’s business card might bloody well read “Sales Manager.”
Among those present, Sun Dehai actually knew the most about the prestige of the President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group because he worked for Jingmen Daily, which was part of the same system.
Although the current trend was that traditional print media was increasingly difficult to thrive in, Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was still a bigger camel on its last legs than a horse.
To be the President of such a large group naturally meant a considerable net worth; no longer was he part of the same class as these ordinary commoners.
“The president of a group?”
“Yang, you’re actually the president of a big group!!”
After a momentary daze, Zhang Hongli’s voice echoed with shock.
Yang Hao was a bit disappointed by the expression on his Aunt’s face; he had expected her to stand her ground.
Auntie, I actually prefer your aggressive demeanor…
Yang Hao silently ridiculed in his mind, though aloud, he commented with nonchalance, “It’s not really a big group; it just consists of three newspapers, a magazine, and a publishing house.”
“Hmm, and there’s also a printing factory beneath the publishing house…”
As Yang Hao spoke, he casually brushed his wrist where the Rolex rested.
When it’s time to be humble, I’ll be humble.
When it’s time to show off, I’ll go all out!
Sometimes the domineering CEO’s spirit needs to be displayed…
Zhang Hongli drew in a sharp breath!
Three newspapers, a magazine, a publishing house, a printing plant…
This doesn’t count as a big group??
Because Sun Dehai worked for Jingmen Daily, Zhang Hongli had a fair understanding of the newspaper system. Even the leaders of a small newspaper like Jingmen Daily had immense clout, able to decide the fate of her own husband, let alone the president of a big group like Jiangcheng Newspaper!
The power was simply unimaginable!!
Bai Wensong, who had just gotten arrogant, was outright dumbfounded.
He thought he had a chance to make a come-from-behind victory, but ended up being pushed straight into a crystal pit!
The President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, wasn’t his net worth in the billions??
And the nerve to use “just” in what context??
Just three newspapers, a magazine, a publishing house, a printing plant…
Isn’t that a lot??
Plus, what the heck is with that watch-touching!
Is it expensive??
Uh…
Rolex??
Then it’s all good!!
Please, continue your performance…
The little brother Bai Wensong had no choice but to surrender!
Crushed by economic force!!
Annihilation at will!!
You can’t fight this; you just can’t!!
“Um, Yang…”
“Uh, Mr. Yang…”
Sun Dehai habitually called out ‘Yang,’ then realizing it wasn’t appropriate, quickly corrected himself to ‘Mr. Yang.’
“Uncle, don’t call me that!”
“Just Yang will do, what President—That’s a title for within the company!”
Yang Hao quickly waved his hands, feigning modesty.
“Alright, Yang it is.”
Sun Dehai chuckled and then asked, “You know Mr. Wei, right?”
“Uncle, are you talking about Wei Zhengyi?” Yang Hao asked.
“I really don’t know his full name; I just know he’s the vice-president in charge of personnel.” Sun Dehai said.
“Oh, that’s him. What about it?”
Yang Hao asked nonchalantly.
Sun Dehai had a smile on his face, but Yang Hao understood; his uncle was testing him to see if he, as the group president, knew Wei Zhengyi, the vice-president.
If he didn’t even know Wei Zhengyi, then the president title he carried would naturally be fake.
In the meantime, He Min was still somewhat confused.
She had compiled all the information into two pieces of news, one bad, one good.
The bad news: Her daughter had found an older man who was divorced with a child.
The good news: This older man was the president of a big group!
So the question arose, was this ultimately a good or a bad thing?
“Yang, you’ve really made something of yourself!”
“To be the president of a big group at such a young age!”
“Our Xinyi is so fortunate!!”
Zhang Hongli, now fully grasping the reality, couldn’t help but express with a beaming smile.
A president with a net worth over a billion, she had to cling to those coattails—who knew when her own children might benefit from a work transfer in the future!
Sitting beside her, Bai Wensong had a gloomy face: the aunt who promised to support him had switched sides in an instant, not even mentioning the children’s matters anymore!
Well then!
Who can blame her when faced with economic dominance!
Sun Nannan had already activated her new iPhone 15 and upon hearing of her “brother-in-law’s” status, her pretty and bright eyes sparkled even more.
Aside from her studies, she quite enjoyed reading female-oriented romance novels.
So now the storyline felt like “Domineering CEO’s Love for My Sister,” “My Domineering CEO Brother-in-Law,” “After Finding Out my Brother-in-law is a Domineering CEO, I Lay Down Flat”…
Long live my sister!
While others relied on their parents, I relied on my sister!!
Heh heh…
The post-2005 generation, their minds are quite active, and they are maturing much earlier than the previous generation.
Suddenly, Sun Nannan felt her future path had just broadened!
“`
Yeah, as long as my sister works hard!
I can live without worries about food and clothing…
Perfect~!
“Stop just chatting, come on, let’s drink…”
Sun Dehai raised his glass and started to hustle everyone.
And after Sun Xinyi revealed Yang Hao’s identity as a CEO, people stopped asking about a second marriage, children, and such.
As if none of that had ever happened…
She heaved a silent sigh, this is human nature.
Although Sun Xinyi didn’t regard money as something extremely important, she had to admit the power of money…
“Sister-in-law, seeing how successful Xinyi has become,”
“it’s about time you consider changing your house…”
After three rounds of drinks, the second aunt said laughingly, her bringing this matter up was to see how Yang Hao, the son-in-law CEO, would react.
To see if he was willing to spend money for his mother-in-law’s family, at least to test the waters.
In fact, Yang Hao was pondering over how to start the topic of the house, but he didn’t expect the second aunt to provide a divine assist!
Yeah, a gold-medal support from the canyon!
No one but the second aunt fits the bill!!
“Now that Nannan is off to university, there will only be Dehai and me at home, so why bother changing houses.”
He Min shook her head.
She and Sun Degang were both ordinary workers, still needing to support two children, their lives were stretched to the limit, where would they get the savings to buy a house!
“Big sister, that’s the wrong way to think.”
“After working hard for a lifetime, you should enjoy some comfort…” Zhang Hongli continued.
Hearing what her second aunt said, Sun Xinyi did feel it deeply; the reason she chose to be a fitness coach was largely to save money to buy her parents a house and improve their living conditions.
Unfortunately, she hadn’t saved enough yet, but with her current salary at the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, the dream of buying a house in Jingmen wasn’t far off.
He Min smiled and shook her head again, she did desire to live comfortably, but her younger daughter was just about to start university, and the expenses for four years of college were significant…
Buying a house?!
Let’s get through these four years first!
“Auntie, I think the second aunt is right.”
“Actually, Xinyi and I have had this idea for a while now.”
“So for this birthday, we’ve even prepared a surprise for you and uncle!”
With the timing right, Yang Hao took over the conversation with a smile.
“Ah?”
“A surprise??”
He Min looked at Yang Hao with a puzzled face.
Sun Degang, who had just picked up his glass to clink with his brother, also subconsciously put down his glass.
Even Sun Xinyi looked at her Brother Yang in surprise.
She didn’t know when she had prepared a surprise for their parents with Brother Yang.
“Yang, your surprise isn’t a house, is it??”
Zhang Hongli was the first to react, as the topic had just been about houses.
With her saying that, all eyes naturally fell on Yang Hao, filled with expectation, shock, and disbelief!
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Hao nodded slightly: “Yes, it’s a house.”
“Ah!!”
“It really is a house!!”
Zhang Hongli exclaimed in surprise.
He Min and Sun Degang were stunned.
Even Sun Xinyi was full of shock as she looked toward Yang Hao.
“Yang…”
“You…”
He Min opened her mouth, at a loss for what to say.
This “son-in-law” had already given gifts worth over a hundred thousand upon his arrival.
And now he said he had bought a house…
“Yang, where did you buy the house?”
“How big is it?”
Zhang Hongli asked curiously.
In fact, not only her, but everyone else was also curious, their eyes once again focused on Yang Hao, waiting for his answer.
“Why don’t we go take a look?”
Yang Hao didn’t answer directly but decided to keep them guessing.
“We can see the house now??”
“Then let’s go!!”
In the meantime, Zhang Hongli had already stood up.
She was very eager to see what sort of house this CEO had bought.
“Uncle, Auntie, shall we go have a look?”
Yang Hao looked at Yibao’s parents.
“Sure!”
“Let’s go take a look!”
If it were another time, Sun Degang might have been reserved, but now, with a buzz from the alcohol, he was somewhat more open.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go, we’ve pretty much eaten our fill!”
Zhang Hongli tugged at He Min sitting beside her.
Yang Hao then asked, “Is it easy to call a designated driver here?”
“Why call a designated driver?”
“I’ll just phone a couple of people to come over!”
With half the residents in this community being factory workers from the thermal power plant, and Sun Degang having worked there for most of his life, he naturally knew plenty of people.
He took out his mobile phone and started to make a call: “Hong Lin, you at home? If you’re free, could you come down to my building for a bit, need a favor…”
“Kai…”
Sun Degang had a good reputation and quickly arranged for “designated drivers.”
And so, everyone went downstairs…
Completely in the dark, Sun Xinyi asked while going down the stairs, “Brother Yang, what’s going on here?”
“The situation is what you see.”
Yang Hao played with the trope of circular talk, thinking of sharing the surprise with the delightful Yibao.
