“Ah?”
“Hucheng Satellite TV was purchased by my brother-in-law??”
Li Manni was startled, although she knew that the current Yang Hao possessed astounding financial power as the owner of both Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, the fact that he had directly purchased Hucheng Satellite TV still shocked her immensely.
“I am now the major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.”
“Although Hucheng Satellite TV is not entirely mine, I have absolute say in its matters.”
“So, for you to join Hucheng Satellite TV is a very simple matter, it’s just that you might face significant pressure like when you first took the position of Director of the Self-Media Operations Center at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.”
Yang Hao said with a stern face. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Although the size of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group was larger than both Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, the essence was the same; as the new boss, Yang Hao would face the issue of reshuffling the high-level executives.
And the people whom Yang Hao brought over would certainly be the focus of attention.
However, the situation at Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group was likely more complicated than that at Tianmei Media and Maetian Entertainment, where Yang Hao held 100% ownership and had the absolute power of life and death over the companies.
But in the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, his shareholding was 66%; although it was far above 51%, the group still had other shareholders whose opinions needed to be considered, and the attitude of the other few shareholders towards him was not yet clear.
“Brother-in-law, can I also bring Wenqian over?”
Li Manni was no longer the career newbie she once was, and she could handle being a pioneering figure at Hucheng Satellite TV.
But one person’s effort was ultimately limited, and it would be much better if Xu Wenqian could help her, so she wouldn’t be too lonely.
“Of course you can.”
“But you have to seek her opinion on it as well.”
Li Manni had now been promoted to Vice President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, and Xu Wenqian had taken over her previous role as Director of the New Media Center.
She was doing quite well at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group and living comfortably, so whether or not to move to Hucheng Satellite TV would also depend on her own willingness.
Some girls are ambitious in their careers, while others are content with a modest life; Xu Wenqian was very comfortable with her current state.
And going to Hucheng Satellite TV would mean a new beginning, facing new challenges.
“I’ll call her in a little while.”
“I believe she will agree.”
Li Manni was quite confident in her understanding of her best friend; Xu Wenqian might not be a powerhouse but she considered making money her hobby.
There would definitely be more opportunities for growth at Hucheng Satellite TV and, given Xu Wenqian’s personality, there was no reason to refuse.
“Okay.”
Yang Hao nodded slightly, then put his arm around Li Manni’s slender waist, “Haven’t had dinner yet, right? The Benbang cuisine at Hushang Family is still well made, let’s try it.”
“Mm, just getting hungry.”
Li Manni touched her flat belly and after a slight hesitation added, “Why not also call Ruohan and Qiuqiu over?”
“I was originally planning to have dinner with Qiuqiu anyway.”
“Qiuqiu?”
“Xiao Yinqiu??”
Yang Hao looked at his sister-in-law with a somewhat puzzled expression.
“Mm-hmm, in the ‘My Idol’ show, Qiuqiu and I get along quite well.”
Participating in the recording of “My Idol,” Li Manni’s social network had indeed expanded quite a bit, but neither the host He Quan nor the other two mentors, aside from Xiao Yinqiu, had much interaction with Li Manni.
Instead, the straightforward Xiao Yinqiu got along very well with Li Manni, and they had become good friends.
“Alright, we’ll invite them to join us.”
Yang Hao certainly didn’t mind including Mrs. Xiao and Little White Flower.
Especially Mrs. Xiao, who was a potential Non-Player Character; Yang Hao’s number of NPCs hadn’t increased lately, so any chance to interact more with Mrs. Xiao was good, aiming to turn her from a potential NPC into a real one soon.
“Then I’ll send a Wechat to Qiuqiu.”
“You let Ruohan know.”
After speaking, Li Manni started to send the Wechat message, revealing from this arrangement that she wasn’t very acquainted with Chen Ruohan.
Indeed, although she and Chen Ruohan were both in the “My Idol” show, as the host, Li Manni mostly interacted with the mentors and host He Quan, not having much opportunity to communicate with the competitors.
Chen Ruohan, however, had taken the initiative to approach Li Manni a few times, but they couldn’t spark a friendship; Li Manni felt that this younger sister was a bit “fake,” and beneath her seemingly innocent exterior might be a hidden side unknown to others.
I have to say, it’s women who understand women better.
The little white flower, Chen Ruohan, was the pure goddess of countless male students at school, dazzling so many young boys.
What?
You say she’s a green tea bitch?
No, that’s my dear younger sister!
But such filters didn’t work in front of Li Manni. Based on such perceptions, Li Manni’s interaction with Chen Ruohan was just superficial.
However, the incident just now downstairs where Chen Ruohan took the initiative to stand up for Li Manni had made her see the little white flower in a new light, and knowing the connection between her and Yang Hao was more than superficial, she decided to invite her for lunch as well.
Yang Hao, on the other hand, interpreted this as something else. He thought Li Manni was trying to convey that she didn’t mind him having other women around, like Chen Ruohan or anyone else.
Ah, she really is the one I watched grow up!
She acts like a true wife!
Misunderstanding the situation, Yang Hao secretly exclaimed in his heart, with a blissful smile on his face as he sent out Weixin messages!
The reality, though, was that Li Manni indeed knew there were other women around Yang Hao, but she wasn’t as gracious as Yang Hao thought. Like any ordinary girl, she naturally hoped that the man she liked only had her in his heart, especially since she stood by him when he had no money.
Even though her feelings for Yang Hao were still vague at that time, they didn’t resemble the attraction of women conquered by his wealth.
So, Li Manni hoped that their relationship could be more pure.
Alas, due to her status and her personality, by the time she made up her mind to be with Yang Hao, many outstanding women had already surrounded him.
As a result, Li Manni actually found herself passively accepting all this, and she didn’t even want to face these issues, preferring to act as if she knew nothing.
It had been less than two minutes since Li Manni sent a Weixin message to Xiao Yinqiu when her room’s doorbell rang.
It was Mrs. Xiao who came knocking on her door directly.
“Manni, you’re finally done with your work!”
“I’m so hungry my stomach is drumming!”
As soon as Li Manni opened the door, Xiao Yinqiu started complaining while rubbing her stomach.
The two had agreed to have lunch together, but Xiao Yinqiu had been waiting until she received Li Manni’s Weixin message.
Having done her makeup already, she immediately came looking for her.
Today, Mrs. Xiao was wearing a white long dress that seemed perfectly normal from the front, but the back held a secret touch that made Mrs. Xiao appear even more charming.
Especially with her long hair draped over her back, it added a hint of allure with its barely there presence.
“Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang!”
Just as Xiao Yinqiu was bemoaning her state to Li Manni, she suddenly saw Yang Hao sitting on the sofa. Her big beautiful eyes blinked, and then she froze.
The brother-in-law in the little sister-in-law’s room!
A single man and a single woman in one room!
And everyone in the program team was gossiping about their extraordinary relationship.
Could all the rumors be true??
Several question marks popped up in Xiao Yinqiu’s mind in an instant. Although she got along well with Li Manni, she had never talked about Yang Hao.
After all, Yang Hao had a special status, and Xiao Yinqiu felt that asking these questions might give off the impression that her interest in Li Manni wasn’t pure.
“What’s the matter?”
“Don’t you recognize your own boss?”
Yang Hao teased with a grin.
“Err, Mr. Yang, why are you…”
Xiao Yinqiu obviously wanted to ask why he was there, but stopped the words as they reached her lips.
Was it her place to pry into her boss’s private life?
“I’m here to discuss work with Manni.”
“Later, I’ll also talk to you about some work matters.”
Yang Hao kept his composure, since what he was saying was indeed the truth, and he was guilt-free.
