Yang Hao was surrounded by everyone in the middle.
At a glance, it was obvious he held the highest position among the group, and right beside him was a mature beauty in her early thirties. Her curvaceous figure and delicate features were clad in a light yellow OL outfit that seemed ready to burst at any moment, especially the two buttons at her chest which were under tremendous pressure.
Men’s eyes couldn’t help but land on her, such mature beauties have an attraction to many men that exceed those “pure young ladies.”
Of course, this was mainly because today’s young ladies, though seemingly pure, often only had the advantage of age and, in fact, some were quite experienced.
When Shen Mingshan caught sight of this woman, his eyes suddenly bulged as if they were about to pop out of their sockets!
Wang Jingru!
His beloved aunt-in-law!!
Just a couple of days ago when he had encountered Yang Hao and his younger aunt-in-law Wang Bingru at Binjiang Park, he was already filled with envy.
At that time, he thought how fortunate it was that his senior aunt-in-law had always stayed in Capital City; otherwise, the Wang sisters would nearly all have been taken by Yang Hao.
Yet today, Yang Hao and Wang Jingru appeared right before his eyes.
Judging from Meng Shiqiang’s respectful manner, the position of his former aunt-in-law seemed quite high, likely second only to Yang Hao!
Standing at her workstation, Li Manshu naturally also saw Wang Jingru. She had met Meng Chacha and Wang Xueru before, and now another mature beauty had appeared by Yang Hao’s side, leading her to guess that their relationship was also out of the ordinary.
Li Manshu let out a depressed sigh, regret once again flooding her heart. The man who was originally hers was now being divided among other women!
“The one walking in the middle must be the boss of Lehua Group, right!”
“Didn’t expect him to be so young and quite handsome too!”
At this moment, Ai Yongyi’s lament reached Li Manshu’s ears.
Then she nudged Li Manshu with her elbow, “Manshu, this successful and wealthy tall, rich, and handsome man is totally your type!”
Upon hearing this, Li Manshu’s already gloomy mood immediately hit its peak.
The real fear was not never having possessed.
But to have had, and then to lose!
After entering the office area of Inspiration Advertising, Yang Hao casually glanced around and then saw his ex-brother-in-law Shen Mingshan, as well as Li Manshu standing at her workstation.
Both old acquaintances were seen in an instant!
However, his gaze did not linger on the two of them, and, as if he hadn’t seen them, he quickly turned his attention back to listening to Meng Shiqiang’s introduction.
The group proceeded through the public office area, took a tour around the company, and then headed into the conference room.
Yang Hao sat in the main seat, while Meng Shiqiang thoroughly reported on the company’s situation, assisted by an executive who played the PPT…
Yang Hao wasn’t particularly interested in Lehua Advertising Group, let alone a company of Inspiration Advertising’s scale. His visit was purely for show and also to glance over his properties.
At that moment, Yang Hao’s phone suddenly buzzed. When he picked it up, he saw a message from the persistent Police Officer Ma: Can we fight tomorrow??
Seeing the message, Yang Hao couldn’t help but laugh. Police Officer Ma was truly persistent.
Yang Hao: I have time later.
Ma Tianjiao: Then, meet at the south gate of Binjiang Park in half an hour.
Yang Hao replied with an OK hand gesture.
This policewoman wouldn’t give up until she saw the coffin; Yang Hao was ready to let her know just what a Martial Arts Grandmaster was!
“Let’s call it a day!”
“Just report the specific operating conditions to Mr. Bao!”
Putting down his phone, Yang Hao casually waved his hand, interrupting the spit-flying Meng Shiqiang.
“Eh, okay!”
Meng Shiqiang was momentarily stunned before hastily nodding.
“Alright, you guys continue.”
“I have some other matters to attend to.”
“Jingru, you stay and listen as well.”
Yang Hao gave Wang Jingru a significant look.
“Okay.”
Jingru nodded.
“Alright, carry on.”
Yang Hao waved his arm and got to his feet, heading out.
“Director Yang, let me escort you.”
Meng Shiqiang, who knew what was important, quickly followed, and people like Bao Weijian also started to rise.
Seeing this, Yang Hao immediately stopped everyone, “No need to send me off, continue with your work, as I said.”
“Old Tang, you escort Director Yang.”
“Director Yang, we don’t need him for the reporting.”
Meng Shiqiang gave a look to the office director, Tang Jun, and then explained to Yang Hao.
“Okay.”
Yang Hao nodded, not refusing this time, and then he left the office accompanied by Tang Jun and two associates.
Shen Mingshan had also been in the corner of the conference room, and since the reporting didn’t concern him, he took the opportunity to slip out the back door when Yang Hao and others left, then quickly caught up with Yang Hao, Tang Jun, and the rest.
“Director Yang!”
“Didn’t expect to run into you again; we must be really fated, huh?”
Shen Mingshan schmoozed up to him.
“Hmm, indeed fated.”
Yang Hao nodded.
Seeing that the two seemed to know each other, Tang Jun was quite surprised. He looked at Shen Mingshan for a moment, knowing that with Inspiration Advertising having just been acquired, from Meng Shiqiang down to the ordinary employees, everyone was worried about being laid off.
But if one knew Director Yang, the new boss, one would certainly not be optimized out, and Shen Mingshan had the advantage here, which made Tang Jun quite envious.
“Director Yang, I said before I wanted to follow you, and now I’ve directly become your subordinate.”
“Inspiration Advertising will surely reach new heights under your leadership!”
“`
Shen Mingshan smiled and slapped on the flattery.
“I’m just a hands-off manager, the company’s performance still depends on real doers like Director Shen.”
Yang Hao had long lost his initial hatred for this ex-brother-in-law.
Because the source of hate is actually care.
Back then, he cared quite a bit about his relationship with Li Manshu, which is why he was angry and full of hatred.
But now, times had changed; he had let out his anger and taken his revenge.
He no longer had any lingering feelings for his ex-wife Li Manshu, so now Shen Mingshan seemed more like a tool for creating ambiance.
After all, he was Wang Xueru’s ex-husband, and the former brother-in-law of the little assistant Wang Bingru, he came with a title.
“Director Yang, rest assured, I will definitely work hard in my duties!”
“I’ve been working at Inspiration Advertising for eight years now, and the company is like a home to me,” Shen Mingshan quickly made his stance clear, deducing from Yang Hao’s words that the latter seemed to have no intention of firing him.
“Good, keep it up.”
“Your future is bright!”
Yang Hao casually responded and then added, “Oh, and next time, don’t bring someone from the same company to Binjiang Park!”
Yang Hao had seen the woman who was in Shen Mingshan’s car the day before yesterday in the crowd.
You can mess around with women, but don’t fool around in the company, once the original work relationship gets mixed with these improper male-female relations, it’s likely to affect the job.
This is also the reason why many workplaces forbid office romances, once personal emotions are mixed into work, it’s naturally the company that suffers.
“Director Yang, rest assured, there won’t be a next time!”
Shen Mingshan quickly made his position clear.
During the conversation, a line of people arrived at the elevator.
Tang Jun hurriedly pressed the elevator button, and just as the elevator was about to arrive, Li Manshu quickly caught up, saying, “Yang…”
“Hao, can we talk?”
Li Manshu had initially wanted to call Yang Hao by his full name, but she reconsidered and used the nickname from when they first met.
Tang Jun was already surprised that Shen Mingshan knew this new boss, but he was even more shocked now.
Because Shen Mingshan’s way of addressing Yang Hao was very polite, one could tell the two were those who had met in a work context or had a casual acquaintance.
But Li Manshu was different. She called him “Hao”!
Tang Jun didn’t even know Yang Hao’s name; he only knew the new boss’s surname was Yang, and everyone called him Director Yang.
Yet, an employee of the company was calling Director Yang “Hao”.
This small Inspiration Advertising really was a place of “hidden dragons and crouching tigers”!
Tang Jun silently noted down Li Manshu’s name. No matter what her relationship with this Director Yang was, this single call of “Hao” made the Director decide he would look after this employee a bit more in the future.
A ding sound.
The elevator arrived.
Yang Hao stepped into the elevator and then said to Li Manshu who had caught up, “I don’t have time today, let’s talk another day!”
Due to the change in status and position, Yang Hao no longer held that initial hostility towards his ex-wife.
However, it was impossible for him to forgive her, but Yang Hao wouldn’t trouble her just because she had become his subordinate.
She was, after all, the mother of his daughter.
And Li Manni’s sister!!
In the future, she was also going to be his “aunt-in-law”!
“I, I just wanted to say…”
“I will talk to Manni for you!”
The moment the elevator doors closed, Li Manshu suddenly spoke up.
Uh?
That statement did baffle Yang Hao.
Because it was entirely unlike his ex-wife’s character!
There’s a kind of relationship called “offering a wife and child”.
This was Li Manshu “offering a daughter and sister”!
Indeed, a good ex-wife should turn herself into an aunt-in-law!
Having not seen her for a while, her enlightenment had ascended!

The elevator doors completely closed.
Just like that divorce certificate, it separated the two into different worlds.
“Manshu, you actually know Director Yang??”
At this moment, Ai Yongyi came over from behind.
“He is my ex-husband!”
Li Manshu bit her lip and said in a low voice.
“What?”
“Director Yang is your ex-husband???”
Ai Yongyi was utterly flabbergasted, looking at Li Manshu with disbelief.
When the two first met, Li Manshu had claimed to be single and unmarried, but as their relationship improved, she eventually disclosed her divorced status to Ai Yongyi.
Ai Yongyi had always assumed the man Li Manshu left must have been incompetent since Li Manshu liked money; probably the man was too poor.
But now Li Manshu was telling her that her ex-husband was a billionaire CEO, and he also had a great exterior appearance. When Yang Hao entered the company, Ai Yongyi even teased that he was Li Manshu’s ideal type.
Yet, now Li Manshu was telling her that he was her ex-husband??
It was simply unbelievable!!
“Manshu, how did you manage to turn such an excellent man into your ex-husband?”
Ai Yongyi couldn’t help but ask.
