“Brother-in-law, can we add each other on Weixun?”
As the group returned to the private room, Fang Ke approached Yang Hao. The young man was 19 years old and a sophomore at Jiangcheng University of Finance and Economics.
“Hmm.”
Yang Hao nodded. Although Fang Ke was just Wang Xueru’s cousin, he was also considered his “little uncle-in-law,” so adding him on Weixun was no big deal.
However, Yang Hao hadn’t expected that the first person to come and add him on Weixun would be Fang Ke, a university student.
It was this little uncle-in-law, though, who despite coming over to add him on Weixun, seemed somewhat distracted, evidently deep in thought about something.
However, shortly after Fang Ke added him as a friend, someone with the nickname “Hanhan” sent him a friend request.
The source of the add was shown to be a card share from Fang Ke.
What’s this kid up to?
Yang Hao glanced at Fang Ke and saw him looking down at his phone, messaging away with a slight smile on his face.
Yang Hao shook his head lightly and ignored this “Hanhan.”
However, after returning to the private room and sitting down, Fang Ke made a point of walking over to Yang Hao and whispered, “Brother-in-law, ‘Hanhan’ is a classmate of mine. She has some questions and would like to consult you. Could you please add her?”
Yang Hao looked at the young man with a hint of speechlessness. It seemed the young man hadn’t quite grasped his own position. If Yang Hao wasn’t mistaken, his little uncle-in-law seemed to have become a dog-licker, and not just any, but one with very high levels of loyalty and filial piety; otherwise, he wouldn’t be doing what he was now!
“Your classmate doesn’t know me, so what does she want to consult about?”
Yang Hao asked, testing the waters.
“I sent her the photo of the big G you gave uncle earlier, she’s quite interested in that car…”
“Brother-in-law, just add her please, you’d be doing me a favor,” said Fang Ke, even going so far as to bow.
“Alright~”
Yang Hao nodded reluctantly.
This little uncle-in-law was definitely a Roaring Heavenly Dog among dog-lickers, with intelligence not quite online. Didn’t he consider that your goddess, when adding a big shot who can give a big G as a birthday present, is really interested in the car?
“Thank you, brother-in-law,” said Fang Ke, expressing his thanks repeatedly.
However, he didn’t leave, instead standing by Yang Hao’s side and watching him add “Hanhan” as a friend. Only then did he return to his seat. At the same time, he sent a Weixun message to his goddess Chen Ruohan: Hanhan, my brother-in-law has added you, remember to let me treat you to a meal when I get back to campus.
It took a while for the message to get a reply, receiving just a “Hmm” from the other side.
But the situation was different on Yang Hao’s end. After the friend request was approved, Hanhan sent a very enthusiastic greeting, the kind with both cute stickers and text…
Yang Hao could only muster a wry smile; there was no one better suited to deal with this situation than Meng Chacha.
Yang Hao sent a perfunctory response and slipped the phone into his pocket.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the private room had taken a notable shift. The once popular Son-in-law Sun Jixing was now being ignored, and the topic of conversation unavoidably revolved around Yang Hao and the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
It was then that people learned why Wang Bingru was able to intern in the president’s office at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group—the placement was handpicked by none other than Yang Hao, her president brother-in-law.
This indirectly confirmed that Yang Hao and Wang Xueru had been together for quite some time, which relieved Wang Changda and Qin Yumei quite a bit.
Ding!
Congratulations, Host, for completing the task “Father-in-law’s Birthday Banquet.”
The reward has been issued.
As the birthday feast was winding down, the System’s voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately after, Yang Hao received a deposit notification from the bank.
A “Skill Card” also appeared in the system inventory.
Yang Hao decisively chose to use the Skill Card!
Ding!
Host has successfully exchanged the skill.
Acquired the passive skill “Prime Minister Cao’s Buff”
(Note: This passive skill is triggered when encountering high-quality wives, increasing the host’s charm by 100%!)
Upon hearing the name of the skill, Yang Hao was about to curse at what nonsense this was.
But after seeing the explanation, his lips involuntarily curled up.
He didn’t have the same obsession as Prime Minister Cao.
But who wouldn’t love high-quality wives!!
Ding!
Passive skill “Prime Minister Cao’s Buff” successfully triggered.
Host’s charm has increased by 100%!
As Yang Hao was considering what kind of woman would qualify as a high-quality wife, the System’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Huh, it triggered already?
Yang Hao scanned the entire private room. There were quite a few women who could be described as “wives,” like Wang Xueru’s mother, eldest aunt, and third aunt-in-law, who actually all qualified.
But these were all older women, and the System probably wouldn’t classify them as high-quality wives.
So, his gaze then turned to Wang Jingru, the eldest aunt. Judging merely by external conditions, she was on par with her sister Wang Xueru, only the two were not of the same type of woman.
Wang Xueru was the traditionally feminine type, giving a gentle and demure impression, while Wang Jingru, who worked in a foreign enterprise, exuded the air of an efficient businesswoman.
The System’s notion of a high-quality wife probably referred to this eldest aunt-in-law!
Yang Hao made his assessment internally. However, he had no intention of destroying someone else’s family, especially since the person in question was Wang Xueru’s sister.
“Xueru, you should add Yang to our family’s group chat!”
“Nobody has any objections, right?”
At that moment, Wang Hong’e suddenly spoke up.
“Who could object?”
“Xueru, hurry up and pull Yang into the group!”
Fang Lelin, who was getting a bit tipsy, immediately chimed in with his wife’s suggestion.
Wang Bingru’s parents also nodded in agreement, both very grateful to Yang Hao. If it wasn’t for him, their daughter would not have had such a good internship opportunity.
And my daughter has said her internship salary is really high, over ten thousand a month!
This is practically giving away money; it’s all because they value my niece Wang Xueru’s face.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Wang Xueru immediately pulled Yang Hao into the family group chat named “Happy Family”.
Many family groups actually have similar names, like “Harmonious Family”, “Joyful Family”, and so on.
“Welcome, Brother-in-law!”
“Welcome, Yang!”
“Brother-in-law, send a red envelope~”
After Yang Hao joined the group, it immediately became lively.
Fang Yan and her brother Fang Ke were crying out for red envelopes.
Yang Hao certainly didn’t lack this bit of money. He glanced at the number of people in the group, there were 25 in total. According to the rules of the luck-based red envelope, the maximum amount per person was two hundred, so Yang Hao directly sent out a big red envelope worth five thousand, wanting to have some fun!
“Wow, such a big red envelope!”
“Thank you, Brother-in-law!”
“I grabbed two hundred!!”
Fang Yan and her brother Fang Ke were the first to open the red envelope, each receiving two hundred.
Then, the rest of the people also opened their red envelopes one after another.
Since there was already the precedent of giving away a Lexus, people weren’t surprised when they opened the red envelopes.
However, not everyone in the family group was present; for example, Wang Xueru’s aunt’s family, who lived in Hucheng, didn’t come.
Seeing the red envelope in the group, Wang Xueru’s auntie, Wang Hongjuan, casually clicked on it, then her eyes went wide.
She usually grabbed red envelopes worth mere dimes and pennies, yet this time she grabbed two hundred.
She immediately began curiously asking about Yang Hao’s identity in the group chat and got the answer that he was Wang Xueru’s boyfriend…
On the other side, Fang Ke took a screenshot of everyone’s red envelope haul and sent it to his goddess, Chen Ruohan: A big red envelope from Brother-in-law, two hundred each!
Not only that, but he also showed off on his social media.
After all, not everyone has such a rich relative!
“Jingru, grab your red envelope!”
“Don’t miss out on free money!”
Sun Jixing was initially reluctant to accept it, feeling it was his last stand of pride.
But as everyone lamented how generous the red envelope was, he got curious and clicked it, seeing everyone got two hundred, he adopted a freeloader’s mindset and spoke to his wife sitting next to him.
What Sun Jixing did not notice was that most of his wife’s attention was on the president who was his brother-in-law.
Wang Jingru herself did not understand what was happening; initially, she just thought her sister had found a good man, but then she became increasingly envious, the more she looked at Yang Hao, the more envious she got. She felt that this man was glowing all over, so much so that she forgot to grab the red envelope.
Upon her husband’s reminder, she clicked it and, after receiving two hundred, she too sent a thankful emoticon in the group chat.
Although Yang Hao should call her “sister” by name, Wang Jingru, who was only three years older than her sister and at 34, was actually a year younger than Yang Hao!
“Since everyone is here today, let’s go to KTV and sing!”
The birthday man, Wang Changda, was obviously not yet satisfied and was eagerly arranging it with a flushed face.
“Singing sounds great!”
“Just the thing to sober up!”
Fang Lelin was the first to agree; he was a man of few words usually, but he became more talkative after drinking. Now, with a little buzz, he was completely different from his usual self.
“Singing is good, let’s keep the fun going!”
Wang Hong’e also followed in agreement.
In recent years, the number of traditional KTVs has drastically decreased, and their client base has shifted from young people to the elderly.
Younger people are going to KTVs less and less, but the elderly often choose KTVs for their gatherings. However, commercial karaoke and clubs are not affected; in fact, their business is booming.
“Big brother, how about the one on Jinquan Road?” suggested Fang Lelin.
“Yang, do you have any recommendations?” Wang Changda asked Yang Hao, as he now valued this “son-in-law” highly.
“Uncle Wang, I just opened a KTV; how about we go to mine?”
Yang Hao proposed cheerfully.
“Yang, you opened a KTV?” Wang Hong’e exclaimed in surprise.
“Just a small side business!”
Yang Hao waved his hand dismissively: “I’ll call someone to pick us up.”
High-end clubs offer a customer pick-up service, and Haojue Club is no exception.
Yang Hao then made a call to Huang Qing, explaining the situation here.
Half an hour later, two Alphards and two Mercedes-Benz vans were parked outside the hotel, and soon everyone was pulled over to Haojue Club.
And upon seeing the luxurious and imposing facade of the club, everyone was shocked once again.
Yang Hao had said he opened a KTV, but this…
You call this a KTV??
“Yang, you own Haojue Club?”
Fang Lelin approached Yang Hao with a shocked expression. Haojue Club was on his daily commute route, and he knew of its existence since its opening.
But he also knew that such a luxurious club was beyond his spending power, and now this extravagant club turned out to be his niece’s boyfriend’s.
“It comes in handy for business hospitality.”
Yang Hao explained casually and then led everyone into the club.
Huang Qing was already waiting in the lobby. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she immediately greeted them with a beaming smile: “Boss, everything’s ready.”
“I’ve reserved the supreme suite on the fifth floor!”
Yang Hao nodded and then asked in a low voice, “Is Jiujiu here?”
Although Yang Hao didn’t mind NPCs and the Blue Buff meeting, it was naturally better to avoid such a situation if possible, to prevent awkwardness.
“She’s already off work.”
Huang Qing responded cheerfully, always reliable in her duties as Miss Color.
