Ugh!
The weight loss mission is finally complete!!
Hearing the System’s notification sound, Yang Hao felt an urge to cry tears of joy.
This was a task that had started since chapter one!
It was finally completed!
All I can say is that losing weight is way too hard!
For the last ten pounds, Yang Hao had used Attribute Point Magic Weight Reduction, which required about a week’s buffer time.
Now that a week had just passed, those ten pounds were gone!!
Yang Hao jumped out of bed, stepped onto the digital scale to check, and there it was, exactly 150 pounds!
Actually, for his height, 150 pounds is slightly underweight; around 160 pounds would probably be the ideal weight.
So next, Yang Hao could focus on gaining some weight and muscle, perhaps carve out a six-pack!
“Boss, are you scared?”
“Why did you run away!”
Seeing Yang Hao suddenly jump out of bed, the maid got cheeky.
“Run?”
“Just don’t you run away in a bit!”
Yang Hao felt the maid was being a bit too arrogant today and decided he must show her his true strength!!
The next day.
The maid who was too arrogant last night didn’t even get out of bed!
“Daddy, why hasn’t Mrs. Qiqi gotten up yet?”
“Did she sleep with you again last night?”
Xixi tugged at her daddy’s big hand, looking up at him with her little head and asked.
“Yes, Mrs. Qiqi is tired.”
“I’ll take you to kindergarten today.”
Yang Hao picked up Xixi and walked out of the house.
“Daddy, can you let Mrs. Qiqi have a baby brother for me?”
“Xu Aowen has two younger brothers, you know!”
“Wang Ruihan has one, too…”
Xixi hugged her daddy’s neck and said earnestly.
“Let Mrs. Qiqi have a baby brother for you?”
Yang Hao scraped his finger on the little girl’s nose, finding her words a bit odd, but then again, not really!
Speaking of having a baby brother, Yang Hao couldn’t help but think of Yibao, the Water System Mage who had stopped using her Water Magic since she got pregnant.
Even though she couldn’t cast spells, Yang Hao decided that, after dropping Xixi off, he would go check on his own Yibao, who needed extra care during her pregnancy!
“Daddy, can you, please?”
Seeing her daddy not replying, Xixi asked again.
“Okay!”
Yang Hao nodded. Logically, the maid should have the highest chance of being with him, as they lived together.
And Jiang Yuqi was also at the prime age and in peak physical condition, having taken no protective measures, so she would probably have the chance to get pregnant!
I should ask the maid whether she’s been secretly taking contraceptive medicine!
However, knowing the maid, Yang Hao didn’t think she would. After all, she had expressed more than once that she wanted to have children with him!
“Yay, that’s great!”
“I’m going to have a baby brother!”
Xixi let out an excited cheer.
Yang Hao affectionately touched the little girl’s forehead; perhaps, many only children feel lonely!
After dropping Xixi off at kindergarten, Yang Hao drove straight to Sun Xinyi’s place.
However, on the way there, Yang Hao unexpectedly received a call from Yao Jiahui.
“Hao, Wei doesn’t know I’m calling you.”
“Hmm, what’s happening?”
Yang Hao’s expression immediately turned serious. Wei Facai was a good brother who had helped him out when he was down on his luck, and if anything had happened, Yang Hao wouldn’t hesitate to help.
“It’s not a big deal!”
“You see, Wei lost his job last month, then found a new one. But now he’s being falsely accused and might lose this job too!”
“Hao, do you think you could arrange a job for him?”
“He’s quite stubborn. I told him to talk to you, but he won’t, afraid of bothering you…”
Yao Jiahui rambled on.
After listening, Yang Hao silently heaved a sigh of relief, having thought that something major had happened to Wei Facai.
It turned out to be just a job issue.
“Jiahui, don’t worry, the job is arranged!”
“If Wei doesn’t come, I’ll just tie him up and make him work at my company!!”
Yang Hao declared straight away.
He had long wanted to bring Wei Facai into his circle, but knew Wei Facai’s character; unless his steady job was gone, he wouldn’t come to rely on him.
Now was the perfect opportunity, whether it be Tianmei Media or Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
“Hao, then I’ll thank you in advance.”
“But you mustn’t say I called you; otherwise, he’ll get mad at me again.”
Yao Jiahui first thanked him and then gave a reminder.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“By the way, Jiahui, where are you working now?” Yang Hao asked.
“I’m still working as an accountant at the same place!”
“Quit it. Come to my company, double the salary!”
Yang Hao now most lacked people he could trust of his own, skill was secondary; the main thing was that the person was dependable.
Wei Facai and Yao Jiahui, a married couple, had known Yang for many years. Although their abilities were average, they both had a stable personality, which made them very suitable to help Yang manage his assets!
“Ah?”
“Double salary??”
Yao Jiahui was shocked; she called Yang Hao only to seek a job for her husband.
She hadn’t expected Yang Hao to poach her as well, and for double the salary!
“Actually, I wanted you and Wei to come over and help out long ago; I just kept being busy and forgot about it…”
Yang Hao said casually.
“Hao, are you asking me to go to the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group?”
Yao Jiahui calmed her excited heart. After all, working at the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was far better than her current small company.
Her current company had little pay and lots of work, and her boss would occasionally hint at some unspoken workplace rules. If it weren’t so hard to find a job, she would have resigned long ago!
“Tianmei Media!”
Yang Hao replied.
“Ah?”
“That biggest film and television media company in Jiangcheng??”
Yao Jiahui was very surprised because she knew this company was even bigger than the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group and was very famous across the country, putting it at the head of entertainment companies.
“Yes, Tianmei Media.”
“I am now the owner of Tianmei Media, so there won’t be any pressure working for Tianmei!”
Wei Facai and Yao Jiahui didn’t know that Yang Hao already owned Tianmei Media.
They both thought he was just the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, which wasn’t strange, for Yang’s asset accumulation had been too rapid. Normally, just being the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group would be impressive enough to boast about for a lifetime!
“Hao, you’re the owner of Tianmei Media?!”
Yao Jiahui was very astonished.
“Yeah, go resign from your company first, then report to Tianmei Media.”
Yang replied.
“Sure!”
“Thank you, Hao!”
Yao Jiahui gratefully thanked him.
“Don’t be polite with me. Give me a call in advance when you can report for duty.”
“I’m driving, so let’s leave it at that!”
Yang Hao instructed and then hung up the phone.
Then, he remembered the Clyde Hotel reward from the System!
Last night he was preoccupied with dealing with the nanny and had forgotten to look up information on this hotel, but according to the System’s style, the main mission rewards were very generous.
While waiting for the traffic light, Yang Hao casually checked, and sure enough, it was just as he expected: the hotel had opened two years ago with a floor area of seventy thousand square meters. The record showed that the decoration alone cost twelve billion, and of course, online information was to be taken with a grain of salt.
However, decorating a luxury five-star hotel would indeed cost several billion. Adding in the land and the hotel’s property rights, a conservative estimate would put it over fifteen billion.
At the moment, Jiangcheng Newspaper Group’s market value was just over ten billion, which had doubled after the rise of social media.
But media companies like Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, which lacked substantial physical assets, could inflate or deflate in market value very quickly. A piece of adverse news could see their value halved, which was normal.
Clyde Hotel’s tangible property, such as land and buildings, was solid!
So, the Clyde Hotel was now Yang Hao’s second most valuable asset!
Yeah, check on Yibao before going over!
Soon, Yang Hao arrived at Sun Xinyi’s residence. She had just gotten up for breakfast. The house was staffed with a nanny and a full-time chef, so Sun Xinyi’s pregnancy was very comfortable.
“Brother Yang!”
Yang Hao’s arrival made Sun Xinyi very happy. She put down her chopsticks and gave Yang a big hug.
“Brother Yang, I’ve missed you!” Stay connected via empire
Sun Xinyi made no secret of her longing for Yang Hao, planting a heavy kiss on his cheek.
Yang Hao soothed her by gently patting her back and then reached to touch her abdomen.
However, Sun Xinyi was less than two months pregnant, and her stomach was still very flat, with no changes to her figure. If you didn’t say she was pregnant, no one would be able to tell.
Some people might gain a lot of weight during pregnancy, but others might gain only around ten pounds, returning to their usual weight after childbirth.
The latter is what all women envy.
It seems Sun Xinyi was among the latter!
“Mr. Yang, why so early?”
Secretary Xu Yali was about to leave for work but ran into the boss at home.
She greeted him with a sense of guilt. Normally, she should have been at the office by this time, but she had slept too late the night before and had overslept!
“Early?”
“It’s past nine o’clock!”
Yang Hao glanced at the secretary and ordered, “Don’t go to Jiangcheng Newspaper Group today; follow me in a while.”
“Oh, okay!”
Xu Yali nodded, silently complaining to herself: He’d better not ask me to do something shady again!
Please, let me do a good deed!
I don’t want to be a scourge!!
“Brother Yang, can I come with you?”
“I’m so bored at home all day~”
Sun Xinyi clung to Yang Hao’s arm, coquettishly whining.
“Sure!”
Yang Hao nodded readily. He was planning to take over the Clyde Hotel next, so taking Sun Xinyi with him was fine.
“Wow, that’s great!”
“I’ll go change clothes!!”
Sun Xinyi cheered joyfully, her demeanor much like a little girl who got her beloved candy. She hadn’t been out with Yang Hao for a long time and was naturally very excited.
“Love-struck, beyond help!!”
Xu Yali silently criticized her friend, thinking she was too easy to please, getting this excited just to go out with Yang Hao!
