Chapter 144: Chapter 144: 137, little brother has his own ideas! (Vote for monthly tickets)

“Look at that, are those even human words to use!”

“If you’re still not satisfied, we’ll change it again! Just bring one home first!”

Yang Guomin complained over the phone; the old man was 61 this year, and his greatest regret in life was not having a grandson.

For their generation, not having a grandson was pretty much the same as having no descendents at all.

He truly would die with his eyes open.

He had some hope when his son and daughter-in-law were still married.

But after his son and daughter-in-law got divorced, that hope was gone.

Because of this, Old Mr. Yang fell severely ill.

He was also so angry for a long time that he didn’t even bother with his son.

Actually, sometimes older people really are like children, give them a piece of candy and they’ll be happy for a long time, but if you make them angry, they’ll ignore you. That’s why there’s the saying “old child.”

And the term “old child” really suited Old Mr. Yang.

He was still arguing with his son!

Even though he knew that the divorce was quite ruthless on the part of the daughter-in-law, in Old Mr. Yang’s view, the question of whether it was excessive or not was another matter. You could at least leave us, the Yang family, with a descendent before leaving…

As for his granddaughter Xixi, Old Mr. Yang always regarded her as an outsider.

She would get married off once she grew up anyway!

It can’t be helped, many of the old generation think this way.

Yang Hao had even seen in-laws wailing in distress because their daughter-in-law had given birth to a girl…

“Hao, can you really bring a daughter-in-law home for me?”

He Yufen’s voice came through the phone again.

“Never mind one, two or three are all fine…”

Yang Hao joked cheerfully, as he now treated his parents like children. Occasionally calling them was just to cheer them up, so his way of talking was free and easy.

“Look at that!”

“Not a single honest word!”

“And you still expect him to bring a daughter-in-law back?”

“It’ll be good enough if he comes back himself!!”

Yang Guomin’s voice came from the phone again.

Yang Hao was about to joke around with his parents a bit more when someone knocked on his office door.

“Dear old comrades, I’ve got some work to do, let’s talk about this later, I’ll come back on Saturday…”

Yang Hao called out and then hung up the phone.

The one knocking was Cai Meichen. Although this executive director carried the title of a salaried worker, she was doing the CEO’s job, busy to the point of being airborne since joining.

“Mr. Yang, these documents are all for your signature.”

“These need your approval…”

Cai Meichen brought the documents in, divided them into two piles, and placed them in front of Yang Hao.

“Director Cai, you’ve worked hard.”

Yang Hao politely thanked her, then silently used a Study Card and said, “Director Cai, here’s the thing, I’d like to hear your detailed analysis of the contents of these documents.”

“Let’s discuss them together…”

Although being a slacker CEO was quite comfortable, now that the System had arranged a Study Card for him, Yang Hao still wanted to absorb some useful knowledge and didn’t want to remain a puppet CEO forever.

There’s a difference between not wanting to do something despite having the ability and not being able to do it because you lack the ability!

Yang Hao set a goal for himself—to become a hands-off manager who understood everything, even if he became one in the future.

He couldn’t just be silent and go along with whatever his subordinates said.

Otherwise, he’d end up as a CEO only in name!

Cai Meichen wasn’t yet clear on the new CEO’s intentions, but since the leader had given an order, she would just follow it.

So, for the next two hours, Cai Meichen ended up giving Yang Hao, the rookie CEO, a lively class in enterprise management without even realizing it…

Cai Meichen was one of those practical executives without any connections. If it came down to real skills, she wasn’t any less competent than the CEO she previously served, but in the workplace, skill is important if it’s deemed important, and totally useless if not.

Unless you’re truly an exceptional genius, a Combat Emperor who can suppress everything else.

Otherwise, background, choices, and opportunities will always come before ability.

It’s been said in middle school text books.

“A good horse does not come so often, but Bole who recognizes its worth does not come often.”

Our country has a population of 1.4 billion; we don’t lack for talent.

What’s lacking is the pair of eyes to discover the talent!

Moreover, in many industries, there’s effectively no career ladder for talent.

Take for example, the endless cycle of officials operating the sewing machines in the male soccer teams!

Ordinary people simply can’t afford to kickstart their careers in city teams, provincial teams, youth national teams…

Every breakthrough in their careers requires lots of spending. In such a system, progression isn’t based on soccer skills, but rather on the relationships and financial power behind you!

After Cai’s exclusive class on enterprise management, Yang Hao, the slacker CEO, went straight to pick up Xixi from school.

“Daddy, Mrs. Qiqi wasn’t at kindergarten today…”

After picking up Xixi, the little girl immediately pouted and told Yang Hao.

“Missing Mrs. Qiqi?”

Yang Hao asked, holding his precious daughter.

“Mhm.”

Xixi nodded vigorously.

“You’ll see her in a bit!”

Yang Hao smiled and put the little girl in the car.@@novelbin@@

“Really?”

Xixi was skeptical, her large eyes fluttering, her little face filled with expectation.

Yang Hao didn’t explain further; he just drove home.

“Wow, this car is so pretty~”

The Panamera was already parked in the spot, and after getting out of the car, Xixi’s attention was captured by the brightly colored vehicle.

“You like this car?”

Yang Hao curiously watched the little girl, remembering that when Xixi saw the U8, she only mentioned, “It’s so big.”

“Mhm mhm…”

Xixi nodded her head like a pecking chicken.

“Then tomorrow, Daddy will drive this car to take you to school.”

Yang Hao affectionately patted the little girl’s head.

“Eh?”

“This is our car?”

Xixi gasped in shock, her little mouth slightly widened.

“That’s right, our car!”

Yang Hao nodded.

“Yay~”

“Our family has such a pretty car…” Xixi cheered.

“Was daddy’s previous car not pretty?”

Yang Hao asked, pointing to the Looking Up U8.

“Um, daddy’s car is very big…”

Xixi said earnestly.

Yang Hao was somewhat speechless. This little girl referred to the Panamera as “our car” and to the Looking Up U8 as “daddy’s car”! The preferences of children couldn’t be more obvious.

“Time to go upstairs!”

Yang Hao no longer wanted to discuss the matter of the car with the little girl.

Yeah, what does a little brat know!!

The father and daughter went back upstairs.

The new nanny, Jiang Yuqi, had officially started her job.

At the moment, she was seriously mopping the floor.

“Mrs. Qiqi…”

“What are you doing at my house!” Xixi exclaimed with surprise and joy upon seeing Jiang Yuqi, and quickly ran towards her.

“From now on, Mrs. Qiqi will be at Xixi’s home.”

Jiang Yuqi put down the mop and picked up the little girl.

“Ah?”

“Mrs. Qiqi, have you agreed to be my mom??” Xixi asked excitedly.

“Uh…”

This question somewhat stumped Jiang Yuqi.

“Not a mom.”

“I am…”

Telling Xixi the word “nanny” was a bit hard for Jiang Yuqi, as she hesitated.

Then they heard Yang Hao say, “From now on, Mrs. Qiqi will be Xixi’s tutor.”

“So, you must be obedient…”

Yang Hao came over and gently patted Xixi on the back.

“Oh…”

Upon hearing she was not a mom but a tutor, Xixi felt a bit disappointed, but still, eagerly she asked, “Mrs. Qiqi, will you stay at our house all the time?”

“Yes, all the time.”

Jiang Yuqi nodded affirmatively. Unless Yang Hao, her boss, decided to dismiss her, there was really no reason for Jiang Yuqi to resign.

“Yay~”

“That’s so great!!”

Upon hearing that Mrs. Qiqi would always be there, Xixi cheered again.

Jiang Yuqi had prepared dinner.

The spacious dining room with only three people seemed very empty.

However, compared to when it was just Yang Hao and Xixi, it now had a bit more of a homely atmosphere, quite like a family of three.

“Qiqi, you stay here with Xixi.”

“I have to go out for a bit…”

After dinner, Yang Hao gave instructions and left the house.

He needed to complete the weekly tasks for NPCs number 1 and number 2.

Although the rewards were not very rich, they were better than nothing.

Moreover, he was quite interested in the “Shadowless Finger,” which was rumored to be a nifty magic technique. After learning it, perhaps he could perform the “Three Immortals Return to the Cave” trick or something equally impressive.

Yang Hao first went to Bolli Fitness Center. Right now, Meng Yuyu’s dance training center was still under renovation, so when she had free time, she would be at the fitness center.

Her mindset now was entirely different from her time as a coach, because Yang Hao had said the fitness center’s profits were all hers.

So Meng Yuyu was quite focused on it, not merely for the increased income but also to prove her business management skills to Yang Hao.

Yang Hao had driven the Panamera. He parked the car outside the fitness center but didn’t go in. Instead, he made a call to Meng Yuyu.

Upon learning that Yang Hao was outside the fitness center, Meng Yuyu rushed out in less than two minutes.

She looked around but did not see Yang Hao’s Looking Up U8.

“Over here!”

Yang Hao rolled down the car window and then honked the Panamera’s horn.

“Uh?”

“Honey, you changed cars!”

Meng Chacha curiously examined the Panamera in front of her, feeling that her man driving a car of this color seemed quite flamboyant.

“Just taking it for a spin.”

Yang Hao didn’t elaborate much.

“It looks pretty good…”

Meng Chacha got into the passenger seat and immediately wrapped her arms around Yang Hao’s neck, “Honey, I’ve missed you. Let’s drive to Jiangbin Park, shall we…”

In Jiangbin Park, there is an area that is very dark and allows parking.

It is considered a sanctuary for activities within the car!

And because there is such a car parked after a short distance, the atmosphere is quite charged!

“Forget it, I still have things to deal with later.”

“I just stopped by on the way…”

Yang Hao said, pointing to the two shopping bags on the backseat: “I picked up a couple of bags while I was at Henglong, they’re for you.”

“Uh?”

“Hermès!!”

Seeing Yang Hao refuse to go to Jiangbin Park, Meng Yuyu was somewhat disappointed.

But after seeing the two Hermès shopping bags, her mood quickly picked up.

“Thank you, honey~!”

Meng Chacha cooed her thanks but didn’t hurry to open her gifts. Instead, she threw herself into Yang Hao’s arms, busily using both hands and mouth…
