Wang Youshan, a veteran police officer who had seen plenty of big scenes, simply treated Jiang Xiaohai’s matter as a bit of fun to share with Yang Hao.
It was not often that one got the chance to smoke and chat leisurely with a billionaire CEO, and Wang Youshan even described some of the details with relish.
Such experiences were new to Yang Hao, but he found them fascinating.
However, what Yang Hao did not notice was that Ma Tianjiao had been glancing at him out of the corner of her eye the whole time. The police officer was quite curious about Yang Hao.
He was Huang Qing’s boyfriend, yet here he was with Jiang Yuqi, such a beautiful girl by his side—it was a classic case of two-timing!
Scumbag!!
But she was rather interested in having a good sparring session with this scumbag.
Beating up the scumbag!
Just the thought of it was satisfying.
However, she had her own reservations, as the man was a billionaire after all.
In case she damaged him, it wouldn’t be easy to handle the aftermath!
“If I may digress, what’s your relationship with him?”
Ma Tianjiao whispered to Jiang Yuqi, who was filling out forms.
“He’s my boss.”
Jiang Yuqi didn’t quite grasp the intention of the female police officer, so she gave a very official response.
“Boss.”
Ma Tianjiao, of course, did not quite believe this explanation. When Jiang Yuqi came in, she was arm-in-arm with Yang Hao.
And it’s the middle of the night—obviously, you came with your boss, meaning you’re a couple!
After the paperwork was complete and the fine was paid,
Jiang Xiaohai was led out, his face a picture of gloom, not daring to make eye contact with his sister.
“Young man, don’t go to that kind of place again. You’re still so young, you must take this as a lesson!”
Wang Youshan performed his duty as a policeman by giving Jiang Xiaohai a critical educational talk.
“I definitely won’t go again.”
“Officer, thank you for your trouble!”
Jiang Xiaohai was, in fact, quite polite.
“I hope you keep your word.”
“If I catch you again, it won’t be just a fine. You will have to be detained!” Wang Youshan warned with a serious face.
This time, Jiang Xiaohai could be let off with a lighter punishment, first because it was his first offense, and second because he had not actually completed the transaction, which made the circumstances less severe.
In practice, such cases usually end with notifying the family and imposing a fine; actual detention is rare.
But this time, Jiang Xiaohai would have a record, and if caught again, he would be detained.
“I definitely won’t do it again!”
Jiang Xiaohai assured them, thumping his chest.
Wang Youshan said no more and simply smiled at Yang Hao, “Mr. Yang, let me see you out.”
“Chief Wang, you’re too polite.”
“This was tough; if you need anything, just ask.”
Yang Hao walked outside while politely responding.
“Alright, maybe I really will need Mr. Yang’s help with something in the future!”
Wang Youshan warmly saw the three of them out to the door of the police station until they got into the car before he went back.
Slap!!
Once the car started, Jiang Yuqi, who had held back for so long, slapped her brother across the face.
“Are you out of your mind!”
“Going to a prostitute, what were you thinking!!”
Jiang Yuqi held nothing back with this slap, and Jiang Xiaohai immediately covered his face and howled in pain.
“Sis, I was wrong.”
“I lost my mind for a moment!”
Jiang Xiaohai, having done wrong, of course didn’t dare to retaliate and hurriedly admitted his mistake, then weakly said, “Sis, you mustn’t tell mom and Dandan about this!”
“Now you know fear, huh?”
“What were you thinking before!!”
Jiang Yuqi glared fiercely at her brother.
“I argued with Dandan, drank alone, and then when I passed by that hair salon, they pulled me inside…”
Jiang Xiaohai spoke softly.
“Enough, I don’t want to hear your crap!”
Jiang Yuqi waved her hand impatiently, “Next time it happens, you’ll be locked up. You’re an adult now, be responsible for yourself!”
“Sis, I promise there won’t be a next time!”
Jiang Xiaohai pledged earnestly and then looked towards Yang Hao, who was driving, “Brother-in-law, the colleagues at the company won’t know about this, right?”
“If you don’t tell them, no one else will know.”
Yang Hao shrugged his shoulders. Being caught soliciting a prostitute was something that would only be disclosed to family members, and usually not to the person’s employer unless they were a public servant.
Yang Hao, as the boss, wouldn’t have known about this if Jiang Xiaohai hadn’t been the younger brother of his maid.
“That’s a relief.”
Jiang Xiaohai heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that if his colleagues found out, it would have been embarrassing.
“Yang, I think you should make a report to the group as a warning to others,” the maid huffed.
“Oh no, I already know I was wrong,”
Although he knew his sister was speaking in anger, Jiang Xiaohai still pleaded with a sorrowful face.
Jiang Yuqi didn’t engage further and simply turned her head to look out the car window at the night, silently grumbling to herself: Men are really all the same, none can be faithful! Even her own brother couldn’t stay truehearted, let alone her boss with his many beauties.
Thinking this, the maid somehow found herself more understanding of her own boss—after all, he was just like any normal man, except that other men didn’t have his billions!
Yang Hao never imagined that Jiang Xiaohai’s behavior would actually make the maid understand his flirtatiousness!
When he got home, Yang Hao took a shower, and before calling it a night, he casually picked up his phone to check it.
He then saw a message from Ma Tianjiao. They had exchanged contacts after their last encounter when Police Officer Ma mentioned wanting to spar with Yang Hao in martial arts.
The matter was not followed up on afterward, but now Ma Tianjiao’s message brought it up again, asking if Yang Hao would be free tomorrow.
Yang Hao replied decisively, just one word: No!
Yang Hao was planning on taking over his new business tomorrow, so naturally, he didn’t have the time to spar with Officer Ma on fighting techniques.
Ma Tianjiao: What about the day after tomorrow?
The policewoman was quite persistent, sending another message right away.
Yang Hao: Not sure yet.
Ma Tianjiao: When can you be sure?
Yang Hao: Maybe tomorrow night.
Ma Tianjiao: Then I’ll send you a message tomorrow evening.
Yang Hao didn’t reply again. This Officer Ma was obsessed with fighting, and it seemed not so easy to turn her into a tool person for his needs; Yang Hao felt it wasn’t worth wasting much more time on her.
The following day.
Yang Hao first dropped off Xixi and the nanny at the kindergarten, and then picked up his sister-in-law, Wang Jingru.
These past few days, Wang Jingru had been coordinating a partnership with Xingyue Real Estate; she had only just finished up yesterday.
Wang Jingru had planned to spend the entire day dealing with work at Tianmei Media, but then Yang Hao had suddenly called her out.
Nevertheless, Wang Jingru was quite happy. Ever since that day in Jiangbin Park when she experienced Mr. Yang’s charm, she had been somewhat captivated, even dreaming about that kind of blush-inducing dream last night. There was no helping it; that feeling was just so intoxicating, a moment of joy could keep her savoring it for days!
But the more she savored it, the more she thought about it. So after receiving Yang Hao’s message, Wang Jingru even changed into a set of pretty lingerie, just in case!
“Jingru, you used to work in publicity, right? You should be quite familiar with the business of advertising companies,” Yang Hao asked while waiting for the red light.
“Yes, quite familiar,” Wang Jingru nodded. “Right after I graduated from university, I worked at an advertising company for a year.”
“That’s perfect.”
“Are we cooperating with an advertising company?” Wang Jingru asked curiously.
“Not cooperating.”
“I bought an advertising company,” Yang Hao said nonchalantly.
“Ah?”
“You bought another advertising company??” Wang Jingru’s mouth fell open slightly in surprise as she looked at Yang Hao, feeling somewhat puzzled by Yang Hao’s business strategies.
First came the investment in Xingyue Real Estate, entering the real estate circle, and now the acquisition of an advertising company, seemingly moving into the advertising sector.
But real estate and advertising were two unrelated industries.
Wait, his goal must be to integrate the advertising company with Tianmei Media and Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!
Yes, that must be it!
The more Wang Jingru thought about it, the more she believed her own conjecture was correct. If she wasn’t wrong, Yang Hao was aiming to build his own business ecosystem.
Such ambition!
Coming to this conclusion, Wang Jingru’s pupils instinctively dilated, and she thought: It seems I was the one with the short-sighted vision!
Mr. Yang had already been silently strategizing!
With this thought, Wang Jingru took another glance at Yang Hao, who was focusing on driving. Director Yang might seem negligent in proper affairs, but in reality, he had everything under control.
This is truly a master!
Yang Hao, who was driving, had no idea that in the eyes of his sister-in-law Wang Jingru, his image had been elevated to such heights!
Zhongxing Building.
From the sixteenth to the twentieth floor, all belonged to Lehua Advertising’s territory.
Yang Hao and Wang Jingru took the elevator directly to the twentieth floor.
As the elevator doors opened, they were facing a reception center, where a front desk receptionist with an excellent image had already stood up. She greeted them with a smile and asked, “Do you two have an appointment?”
The entire twentieth floor housed the offices for Lehua Advertising’s executives, including the office of the president.
“No appointment,”
“But I made a call to Bao Weijian yesterday and scheduled a senior management meeting for ten o’clock this morning.”
After receiving rewards the day before, Yang Hao had contacted Lehua Advertising. Bao Weijian was the current leading figure of Lehua Advertising, the company’s CEO.
And for Yang Hao now, he was just a gold-medal employee.
“You must be Director Yang?”
Bao Weijian had obviously informed the front desk receptionist about the new boss’s visit, so upon hearing Yang Hao’s tone, the receptionist identified him and her formulaic smile sweetened by a few degrees.
“Yes, that’s me!”
Yang Hao nodded. People used to call him Mr. Yang, and suddenly being addressed as Director Yang made him pause for a moment.
However, the title wasn’t wrong. The full name of Lehua Advertising was Lehua Advertising Group, with a very broad range of services including advertising design, production, distribution, graphic design, decoration design, conference and exhibition services, marketing planning, business management consulting, etc…
“Director Yang, please follow me.”
After confirming Yang Hao’s identity, the front desk receptionist quickly came forward and then led Yang Hao to the conference room, because Bao Weijian and a group of high-level executives were already waiting there for quite some time.
Yang Hao had set the meeting time at ten o’clock, but Bao Weijian had asked everyone to gather in the conference room at half-past nine.
After all, it was the first time they were meeting the new boss, and he did not want anyone to be late, so he simply had everyone come early.
At this time, the conference room was noisy, with everyone whispering and chatting. The front desk receptionist walking ahead knocked on the conference room door, “CEO Bao, Director Yang has arrived.”
Upon hearing this, the conference room immediately fell silent.
All eyes landed on Yang Hao and Wang Jingru.
Then everyone stood up from their seats.
Bao Weijian, who sat at the first place on the left side of the conference table, quickly greeted them at the door of the conference room, “Director Yang, hello, I am Bao Weijian.”
“Um, hello,”
Yang Hao nodded slightly and then went straight to the main seat and sat down.
“Everyone, please be seated!”
Only after settling down did Yang Hao gently wave his hand.
All the executives then retook their seats, but they were somewhat restrained. When a company changes bosses, it is common for one or two unfortunate individuals to be sacked, and a boss bringing in their own team may even make substantial changes to the company. So, the executives were very nervous, afraid of being singled out for sacrifice.
“Today’s main purpose is to get to know everyone. Starting with CEO Bao, everyone, please introduce yourself in turn and explain the main aspects of the business you’re responsible for…”
Yang Hao didn’t bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
Through this process of self-introduction, he could not only remember the names of these executives but also gain a preliminary understanding of the group’s business from their introductions.
After reaching an intelligence value of 100 points, Yang Hao had evolved the most powerful brain, endowed with memory abilities beyond those of ordinary people. These people just had to speak once, and all that information would be etched into his mind.
Furthermore, while everyone was introducing themselves, he could also use the “Fiery Eyes” skill to evaluate their capabilities. After this meeting, he would be able to optimize away all the personnel he deemed unnecessary!
