Jiang Minglang thought that Yang Hao must be quite capable and have his ways to be able to sit on the upper echelons of a listed company.
Moreover, it would not be good if someone found out that he had personally dealt with Jiang Jingchen.
âOkay, but I would like to test your ability first. Help me deal with an immediate matter related to Jiang Jingchen.â
âThe man downstairs?â Yang Hao asked.
âYes.â
Yang Hao chuckled. He had on gold-rimmed glasses and the mannerisms of a typical elite. He was also highly educated and very smart. It would be quite interesting to see what kind surprises he would bring.
âNo problem. Itâs a small matter.â Yang Hao went downstairs calmly. âIâll go deal with it now.â
Jiang Minglang was quite perplexed over how he should deal with the matter, but Yang Haoâs tone was so relaxed that it made him even more curious about what he would do.
Yang Hao went downstairs, thinking that he was the one who told the men that Jiang Minglang was the one who hired them to deal with Jiang Jingchen. He was also the one who sent these men to Jiang Minglang as a gift after discussion with Song Zhou. It was already his plan to come here and deal with this matter, and use it as a bargaining chip to get into bed with Jiang Corporation.
However, he had also been thinking that Jiang Jingchen was too quick-witted. He was also very strategic and had tricks above as well as below board. He made everything look so easy.
A person like this would have been an emperor in ancient times, if not one of the highest-ranking officers who steered the country.
In less than half an hour, Yang Hao came back upstairs and told Jiang Minglang that everything had been settled and the fat man would never appear again.
Jiang Minglang had already watched the surveillance video and saw how Yang Hao handled the situation. He was very generous, decisive, and efficient when he solved the problem by throwing money at it. He was a badass.
He looked at the manâs humble smile and thought to himself that he had seen enough of the business world to know that people who always had a smile on their faces and a neutral attitude were capable of the most terrifying things. He had been quite wary of Yang Hao.
He was the kind of person akin to a poisonous snake lurking in the dark. If one was not careful, one might be swallowed whole.
âThank you, Mr. Yang Hao. However, I am very curious. Why did Mr. Yang Hao help me?â
Yang Hao explained unhurriedly, âAlthough CJ is a big company overseas with plenty of cash but the Jiang family is a prestigious one in the country, a local tyrant.â
âThere are three young masters in the Jiang family. The first being Jiang Jingchen. You are the second young master, and the third young master is still studying abroad.â
âIâve met the first young master, Jiang Jingchen, abroad. He was a quiet and somewhat gloomy man. I felt that he wasnât someone easy to get along with. Moreover, he had been recuperating for so many years and knew nothing about managing a business. Even if his legs had recovered, heâd still be useless in the Jiang family.â
âYouâre holding an important position in the Jiang Corporation now and a suitable business partner. Of course, 1â11 help you.â
âYoung Master Minglang, donât worry. I see this as a win-win situation. Itâs my honor to help you get rid of some trouble in exchange for a business partnership.â
Jiang Minglang was rather impressed with Yang Hao, who had investigated him behind his back and knew his plans. He then silently watched him execute those plans and offer to help him solve problems when he encountered difficulties.
This way, he would have something to use against him. The two of them were bound together; they had little choice but to work together.
âSince Mr. Yang Hao is so sincere, then I look forward to working with you in the future. Once Iâve secured my position in the Jiang family and have full control of Jiang Corporation, your status in the country will also be solidified.â
âThen, I look forward to our shared successes.â Yang Hao shook his hand.
Yang Hao and Jiang Jingchen continued their business discussion. They talked about the rules of cooperation, or to put it bluntly, terms and conditions that would be part of their partnership contract.
Since both parties had the intention to partner up, they didnât make things difficult for each other and the negotiation went smoothly.
Yang Hao left the magnificent building that housed Jiang Corporation. He got into the car and drove some distance before he called Song Zhou.
âThe show is halfway done, and things are progressing well.â
âYouâve worked hard. We still need you to hold the fort. Godspeed you will be the next Oscar Best Actor.â
Yang Hao and Song Zhou had been friends since young. When Yang Hao heard Song Zhouâs teasing, he couldnât help but laugh. He took off his glasses and revealed his chiseled face with mixed race features.
âWho is the Best Actor this year?â
âIs there any doubt? Of course, itâs Young Master. He coaxed himself a loving wife with just a little acting, can you?â
â⦠I canât say that 1 can. But youâve seen so much of their lovey-dovey. Are you inspired to get in a relationship too?â Yang Hao teased.
A smiling face appeared in Song Zhouâs mind but he shook his head and said, âIâm not in a relationship but I do feel that itâs quite interesting to have a cute woman by my side. 1 canât chat with you anymore. I should go update Young Master.â
Song Zhou paused for a few seconds before he continued, âAbout Wen Nanâs situation, can you drop Jiang Minglang a hint and tell him that Young Master used to trust that woman, but she has been dishonest. She has schemed against my young madam time and again, making my young master very unhappy.â
âYou always talk about your young madam. Iâm really curious what kind of fairy your young master married that he loved her so much.â
âWell, Young Madamâ¦â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Song Zhou thought for a few seconds and continued, âSheâs pretty, adorable, ambitious, a top student, and such a captivating dancer. When you get a chance to meet her, youâll know how precious she is!â
Hearing Song Zhouâs high praises for Tang Beibei, Yang Hao became even more curious and really wanted to meet her.
Song Zhou hung up the phone and went upstairs to update Jiang Jingchen about Yang Haoâs progress. Jiang Jingchen nodded briefly and frowned, like he was troubled.
âYoung Master, is something bothering you?â
âHow would you get a woman to that thing with you?â
Song Zhou thought in his heart, if the young master was referring to sex, he was very sorry.
If he knew how, he would have found himself a girlfriend already!
Jiang Jingchen glanced at him and felt that it was silly of him to ask such a question.
But he felt that Tang Beibei had opened the door, but they still hadnât moved to the next base. He felt really frustrated.
He had been married to his beautiful wife for so long and she was ready to learn about sex, but his flirting had totally backfired.
âItâs almost time. Letâs pick up my wife from school.â
In school, Tang Beibei had been in a daze all day while she attended classes. When classes finally ended, she slumped over her desk listlessly, hoping to catch up on sleep.
Ruan Qi found it strange when she saw Tang Beibeiâs limp body.
She was always full of energy and seemed to never run out of energy when she studied.
âWe just stayed up late to watch a movie last night. Are you that tired?â
Tang Beibei rubbed her forehead. âThis is the first time I went to bed at 2 a.m. and woke up at 6:30 a.m. I have a headache now and feel weak all over.â
Ruan Qi reached out to feel her forehead. âDonât tell me youâve caught a cold? After all, youâve had a shock last night and it was quite cold with the wind chill last night.â
âMaybe.â
Tang Beibei sighed. âIâll go buy some medicine just in case. I donât want to pass my cold to my husband.â
Ruan Qi clicked her tongue and accompanied Tang Beibei to the pharmacy. She bought some cold medicine and drank it immediately. They were just about to go back to school when they ran into a woman Tang Beibei didnât want to see.
âBeibei, long time no see. Can we chat, please?â The woman smiled gently..
