“Director Yang, this is my younger brother Ye Cheng.”
“He’s still in university.”
Ye Shuyuan introduced the young man to Yang Hao.
Then, she turned to Ye Cheng and said, “This is my friend, Director Yang. Go inside and tell Dad that we have a distinguished guest!”
“Oh, okay!”
Ye Cheng obediently nodded, politely greeted Yang Hao, and then turned to run inside the house.
“The young man is quite handsome!”
Watching Ye Cheng’s retreating figure, Yang Hao gave a positive evaluation.
“He pales in comparison to Director Yang!”
Ye Shuyuan politely replied, actually thinking her brother and she bore a resemblance, with somewhat of a feminine charm about him.
For this reason, Ye Cheng preferred to dress maturely; otherwise, people would say he looked effeminate.
In reality, Ye Cheng had the kind of delicate features many young girls liked—like the trendy “flower boys” often seen on TV.
However, Ye Cheng himself preferred a more masculine look, always feeling he appeared too soft.
“Dad, sister has brought a friend over.”
“She said it’s a distinguished guest!”
After running back into the house, Ye Cheng immediately reported to his father, Ye Jianye, who was seated in the place of honor.
“Hmm?”
“What is Shuyuan thinking, bringing friends over at this time?”
Before Ye Jianye could speak, Ye Jianshe, who was sitting to his left, was the first to open his mouth.
Ye Jianshe turned fifty this year, but thanks to proper self-care and fashionable attire, he looked very young, giving the impression of a man in his early forties.
His temper seemed to match his dressing style—although he was fifty years old, he wasn’t steady and gave off a somewhat irritable feeling.
“Third brother, what are you so anxious about?”
“Shuyuan isn’t the type to act without consideration. She must have a reason for bringing someone over at this time!”
On the right-hand side of Ye Jianye’s sofa sat a woman who appeared to be in her thirties.
Her name was Ye Jingwen, Ye Shuyuan’s younger aunt, aged forty-two.
She was currently the Executive Director and Senior Vice President of the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
“Who is the guest she brought?”
Ye Jianye asked expressionlessly.
“She didn’t mention a name, just said it was Director Yang,” Ye Cheng replied honestly.
“What Director Yang, Director Li…”
“How are we supposed to talk business with them around at this time!” Ye Jianshe muttered, pouting.
However, upon hearing “Director Yang,” Ye Jianye and Ye Jingwen both raised their eyebrows in surprise.
The siblings exchanged a look, both astonished.
After a moment’s hesitation, Ye Jianye swiftly stood up from the sofa and strode toward the entrance.
“Second brother, is it really necessary for you to greet him personally!”
Ye Jianshe didn’t even bother lifting himself, clearly not taking the Director Yang mentioned by Ye Cheng seriously.
But at that moment, Ye Jingwen also started to follow her older brother Ye Jianye’s steps.
“Jingwen, why join the crowd…”
Ye Jianshe muttered to himself in slight annoyance, yet he still didn’t budge.
First, he was truly lazy.
Second, he really didn’t take the Director Yang that his niece had brought home seriously.
Born into wealth, Ye Jianshe was the youngest son and had been spoiled since childhood. Even though he was now of age, he still carried the habits of a rich second generation.
At this moment, Yang Hao, who had entered the house with Ye Shuyuan, had already met Ye Jianye at the entrance.
“Director Yang, it’s indeed you!”
“Welcome to our humble home, had I known you were coming, I would have waited at the gate!”
Seeing that the person his daughter brought was indeed Yang Hao, Ye Jianye hurriedly greeted him with politeness.
“CEO Ye, you’re too polite.”
“I live in villa number eight, just came over to drop in.”
Yang Hao replied with a smile.
“Really!”
“I had no idea we were neighbors, what a fortunate coincidence!”
Ye Jianye’s face was filled with smiles, and he warmly shook hands with Yang Hao.
And after shaking hands, he didn’t let go immediately but pulled Yang Hao into the house, showing a very close demeanor.
“As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a near neighbor. Director Yang, from now on, treat this place like your own home…”
“Oh, and this is my younger sister, Ye Jingwen.”
“She is currently the Executive Director and Senior Vice President of the Group.”
“`
After a few steps, Ye Jianye hurriedly introduced Ye Jingwen, who had followed them.
“Hello, Director Yang.”
“Please continue to look after us in the future, Director Yang.”
Ye Jingwen greeted Yang Hao with a smile.
“Hello, Director Ye.”
“In the future, we should look after each other.”
Yang Hao nodded with a smile. After acquiring 66% of the shares of the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group, he had thoroughly researched the information and was very familiar with the group’s senior management.
Ye Jingwen was a high-ranking executive with real power; her photos online were also very beautiful and left a deeper impression on Yang Hao than those of other executives.
Now that he saw her in person, Yang Hao thought Ye Jingwen was even more attractive than her photos online.
It could only be said that the Ye Family’s genetics were indeed strong.
In fact, even Ye Jianye, who was already fifty-four this year, looked quite young. He was only slightly overweight with a bit of a beer belly, but overall, he gave off a refined and elegant impression, not greasy in the slightest.
Seeing her father and her aunt being so enthusiastic towards Yang Hao, Ye Shuyuan was utterly stunned on the side, so much so that she remained dazed for a long while and couldn’t recover.
What was going on?
Why were they so affectionate?
Even if Director Yang was worth tens of billions, it didn’t justify this kind of reception!
There had been no shortage of wealthy people visiting their home.
And what did her aunt mean by that?
Look after us a lot?
Ye Shuyuan was brimming with question marks at this moment.
She also thought about what Yang Hao had said to her earlier, that her father might be very happy upon seeing him.
And sure enough, he was quite happy!
What on earth was going on?
Ye Shuyuan couldn’t figure it out.
“Sis, what’s the background of that Director Yang?”
“Why are Dad and Aunt so polite to him?”
At that moment, Ye Cheng, who also wore a confused expression, approached her, obviously curious about Yang Hao’s identity as well.
“The President of Maetian Entertainment and Tianmei Media!”
“Also, he’s the boss of Hushang Family. You saw the news these past few days, didn’t you?”
Ye Shuyuan steadied herself and mentioned the identities she knew of.
“Ah?”
“I thought he looked familiar!”
“So, he is really that Director Yang from the internet!” Ye Cheng suddenly realized. He felt Yang Hao looked very familiar, like someone he had seen somewhere but couldn’t quite place him at the moment.
Now that Ye Shuyuan had revealed Yang Hao’s identity, Ye Cheng immediately remembered where he had seen Yang Hao—it was on Kuaiyin.
“Not right, Sis!”
“You’ve forgotten one of his identities!”
Suddenly, Ye Cheng spoke up.
“What identity?”
Ye Shuyuan looked at her brother with puzzlement, feeling somewhat baffled.
She had mentioned Yang Hao’s three important identities; what else could there be?
“Are you referring to the President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group?”
Ye Shuyuan’s mind was quick, and she immediately recalled that Yang Hao was also the President of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
But the market value of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was far less than that of Maetian Entertainment and Tianmei Communications, not to mention that Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was a company dominated by official interests, so she overlooked this identity.
“The Jiangcheng Newspaper Group has no relation to our family!”
“He’s a major shareholder of Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group!”
“Just now, Dad, Aunt, and Third Uncle were talking about this!”
Ye Cheng shrugged lightly.
Ah??
Hearing this answer, Ye Shuyuan was shocked. Her mouth hung open, and it took her quite a while to regain her composure.
She genuinely didn’t know that Yang Hao held this position and was unaware of any changes in the shareholders of the Hucheng Cultural Broadcasting Film and Television Group.
He hadn’t mentioned a word about it during dinner!
Ye Shuyuan thought back to the meal and finally understood why Yang Hao had asked her so many details about Hucheng Satellite TV.
Turns out, Hucheng Satellite TV belonged to him, and it was natural for Yang Hao to be concerned.
But what was there to hide?
Keeping it from me all this time!
Thinking this, Ye Shuyuan couldn’t help but pout unconsciously, then looked up again at Yang Hao, who was walking side by side with her father. She couldn’t help but secretly scoff in her heart: Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger, very amusing, huh!
