An annual salary of a million had already made Wang Jingru feel somewhat guilty, and now with a house included, she thought the compensation was simply too generous.
Yang Hao smiled and waved his hand, “Director Wang, it’s not excessive for the company to provide you with a residence at your level, and it’s just for you to live in.”
Yang Hao deliberately changed his address to Director Wang, putting on an air of handling official business.
“Okay, then thank you, Mr. Yang.”
Wang Jingru couldn’t refuse any further and nodded in thanks.
Yang Hao shrugged and said seriously, “I’m doing this only to ensure that Director Wang has no worries and can devote all her energy to her work. You might be aware that it hasn’t been long since I acquired Tianmei Media, so the internal stability of the group isn’t particularly good right now. There’s a lot to deal with, so you need to be mentally prepared, Director Wang!”
Hearing Yang Hao say this, Wang Jingru was somewhat reassured. After all, there’s no reward without effort. With such a substantial salary and benefits, it was only logical that the responsibilities on her shoulders were heavier.
The four of them called a designated driver to first take Wang Xueru home, then headed to Linjiang Garden.
“Does Director Wang prefer a high floor or a low floor?”
After entering the community, Yang Hao asked.
“The high floor, the view is better,” she answered while surveying the neighborhood. Though she mostly stayed in Capital City, she was a native of Jiangcheng and knew the price of housing in this area wasn’t cheap. Additionally, the greenery of this community was excellent, clearly aiming for a high-end market.
Back at the restaurant, Wang Jingru had thought Yang Hao would arrange for her to stay in a small apartment—she hadn’t expected it to be such a high-end community.
Yang Hao led Wang Jingru and Zheng Qianqian to the 22nd floor of one of the buildings.
“The apartment is fully furnished. Just buy whatever else you need. The management code for the fingerprint lock is 696969!”
“I won’t disturb your rest any further.”
After opening the door, Yang Hao said this and then left.
Both Wang Jingru and Zheng Qianqian were taken aback. It was only after Yang Hao had entered the elevator that the two of them came to their senses.
“This, this is employee accommodation???”
Zheng Qianqian looked around the apartment, which was at least 200 square meters, and exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Jingru’s thoughts were nearly the same. The apartment was too large—it could be considered a luxury mansion that ordinary people simply couldn’t afford. Yet, her brother-in-law, the president, was using such a place for employee accommodation!
It was almost inhumanly extravagant!
“Jingru, I think there’s something off about Mr. Yang!”
“He’s not after you, is he?”
Zheng Qianqian walked around the apartment and then spoke up.
This Mr. Yang had a certain reputation when he made his appearance, obviously not the most scrupulous individual, and now he was being so attentive to Wang Jingru. It was natural to harbor suspicions.
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Wang Jingru shook her head: “Me, a divorced older woman, and him, the prestigious president of Tianmei Media, surrounded by beauties, how could he possibly be interested in me!”
“I think he is doing it for Xueru’s sake,” Wang Jingru added.
Zheng Qianqian shook her head, her expression serious, “Jingru, you’re too naive. You don’t understand men. Some men have these odd preferences, like some prefer married women, or women with status like you—but you also have the buff of being Xueru’s sister!” Read exclusive chapters at empire
“This…”
After listening to her best friend’s words, Wang Jingru immediately frowned, “You make that house sound so scary I don’t even dare to live in it anymore!”
Zheng Qianqian couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, “Jingru, just move in confidently. If it’s really like I guessed, I think that’s actually pretty good.”
“This Mr. Yang must be better than Sun Jixing, right? He’s tall, handsome, and generous. If you really end up together with him, I’m sure he won’t treat you poorly. Your latter half of life will be set!”
Upon hearing her friend’s words, Wang Jingru was rendered speechless. Her friend’s change of opinion was too fast, saying that Yang Hao had problems just a moment ago and now saying he’s not bad.
Downstairs.
Yang Hao didn’t leave the complex but went directly into another building, where the little nanny Jiang Yuqi’s mother and third aunt lived.
When Cai Meichen was reporting work in the morning, she also mentioned that there was a family gathering tonight.
At that time, Yang Hao was thinking of attending. However, Wang Jingru’s matter was after all the priority, and Tianmei Media really needed a smart and capable insider.
It was just past eight o’clock, so the family gathering should not have ended yet.
Sure enough, when Yang Hao arrived, Cai Meichen, the little nanny, as well as Jiang Xiaohai and his girlfriend Zhang Dan were all there.
At that moment, everyone had finished dinner and was sitting in the living room chatting. There were bright smiles on everyone’s faces, as they were all living comfortably recently.
The leg-injured Jiang Shuyun had gained a fair bit of weight. Her diet was too good, and on top of that, since her children were living enjoyable lives, she, as a mother, did not have to worry about them anymore. Once her mood relaxed, her weight naturally followed suit.
“Yang, come have a seat. You must be quite busy with work recently,” said Jiang Shuyun as she waved at Yang Hao, her face brimming with smiles. She was obviously very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law and only hoped he would marry her daughter soon. Such an outstanding man could easily be snatched away by others if one was not careful.
“Yang, have some fruit,” offered third aunt Jiang Shuhui, passing him a peeled orange. Her days in Jiangcheng had been so fruitful that she no longer wished to return to her hometown.
Yang Hao inquired about his “mother-in-law’s” recovery and then chatted with everyone for a while.
As the evening progressed, Jiang Xiaohai and his girlfriend Zhang Dan had to go to work, so they left first.
Xixi had gone to stay with her little aunt, Li Manni, today, so Jiang Yuqi had already told her mother that she would stay to keep her company.
“Yang, why don’t you stay the night as well?”
After Jiang Xiaohai and Zhang Dan had left, Jiang Shuyun said to Yang Hao with a smile. She was hoping to spend more time with her future son-in-law and find an opportunity to talk about marriage.
“Sure, no problem,” agreed Yang Hao cheerfully, secretly winking at Cai Meichen who was at his side.
At this moment, however, Director Cai was feeling quite conflicted and even a bit panicked.
During the meal, Jiang Shuyun had also invited her to stay for the fun, and since there was plenty of room in the house, Cai Meichen had not declined.
But now, with Yang Hao also staying, the situation was different. He would definitely be sharing a room with Jiang Yuqi, which was normal for a couple at the Jiang family’s place.
But the problem was that the room Cai Meichen was supposed to stay in was right next to theirs. Knowing this bashful boss like she did, he would certainly not leave her alone tonight.
But Yang Hao’s skills were astonishing, and each time Cai Meichen found herself in helpless ecstasy. Once, she had covertly recorded the sounds with her phone, just to hear how she sounded at the time. Just listening to that recording made her want to crawl into a hole.
So she dared not imagine what would happen tonight if Yang Hao snuck into her room. What if the elder niece discovered them?
What would she do if they were caught??
