Chapter 141
[Note: The last paragraph seems to contain some garbled text that doesn’t make sense, so I’ve translated it as closely as possible to the original.]
They would discharge Zhao Chenxin in the afternoon and take her home. Hao Yunyang used his boss’s authority to give Chen Jiangping a paid week-long leave to accompany Zhao Chenxin. Facing this arrangement, Liu Ming, the company’s general manager, could only smile bitterly – after all, Hao Yunyang was the boss.
Another, Hao Yunyang also took the time to take the remaining two million euros to the bank to exchange for RMB, because his son told Hao Yunyang that in more than ten years, RMB would be the world’s most widely circulated mainstream currency!
With this exchange, Hao Yunyang’s personal account directly broke through 10 million RMB, becoming a small but wealthy person.
What to do with money? Of course, enjoy it! Especially for a bachelor like Hao Yunyang, after calculating the various expenses he would need to cover and confirming he could still keep a large sum of money, he went alone to the auto city and spent 2.6 million to drive back an Audi, finally balancing out the psychological blow of being looked down upon by Sun Fei and others, a typical display of wealth competition.
Hao Yunyang didn’t even think about whether Sun Fei and the others were on the same level as him. Competing in wealth with them was essentially lowering his own status.
However, while driving back an Audi balanced his psychology, pressing the gas pedal would cost 5 yuan in no time – a typical gas-guzzler.
But no matter what, a luxury car is a luxury car. In terms of comfort, appearance, and overall performance, it was incomparable to a Lexus. With the new car, Hao Yunyang generously gave his 300,000 Lexus to Yang Jianfeng as a personal vehicle, leaving Yang Jianfeng both laughing and crying.
“Hello,” Dad’s phone was connected after a few seconds, and Hao Zhenhua’s voice crossed decades of time and space into Hao Yunyang’s ear.
“Son.” Hearing Hao Zhenhua’s voice, Hao Yunyang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the awkwardness that was hard to express, and said: “Your mother is already with me.”
“What?” Hao Zhenhua was stunned, then burst into wild joy, laughing heartily: “Dad! You’re so awesome! Worthy of being my father!”
“Hehe,” Hao Yunyang could understand Hao Zhenhua’s mood at that moment, smiled and said: “I’m going to Kunming, Yunnan tomorrow, so I’m calling to let you know, so you won’t worry over there.”
“Hmm!” Hao Zhenhua responded, smiling: “I’ve already spoken with Mom on the phone. She said she’s found a girl for me and is urging me to go back and meet her. I was planning to go home in the next day or two.”
“Oh? Whose daughter?” Hao Yunyang was concerned, after all, this was his future daughter-in-law!
“Mom said she’s from Daxing City, oh, which is now your current Daxing Town, which has developed into a city after decades. Mom says she’s from the city, and she looks quite good,” Hao Zhenhua said with a smile, but the helplessness in his words did not escape Hao Yunyang’s ears.
But no matter what, his son was already forty-six years old. Although human life expectancy had greatly increased in that era, Hao Yunyang’s thinking was still stuck in his own time. Forty-six was already an old bachelor! An arranged meeting was inevitable. Hao Yunyang smiled: “Take a photo when you meet her, I want to see.”
“Okay!” Hao Zhenhua agreed. Then the father and son chatted for a while before hanging up. After putting down the phone, another phone in Hao Yunyang’s pocket immediately rang: “Beep, beep…
Liu Zhikun is definitely done for now, but his lackey, Wang Qun, who usually looks quite proper, is still at the hotel. How did Hao Yunyang know this? Because just a moment ago, when he glanced back, he happened to see Wang Qun standing at the hotel entrance!
Liu Lixin is already a thing of the past, but this doesn’t mean Hao Yunyang can forget about this Wang Qun.
Learning the truth from Liu Ming and recalling Wang Qun’s ugly face when bringing up the abalone incident, Hao Yunyang was thinking: I won’t beat you up, but I’ll take everyone to have a casual meal and gross you out. Besides, having a meal at a hotel where I used to work is also a kind of memory!
To be honest, Hao Yunyang had always consciously avoided mentioning the words “Jin Hui” when choosing a place to eat. Now, he’s completely let go – it’s just a meal, what’s there to be afraid of!
He returned home, changed clothes, and deliberately put on a tie. Looking more formal, he made preparations, and after getting ready, he made phone calls one by one to Kong Lingqiu, Liu Ming, and Zhou Junqiang. Then he knocked on the opposite door, and only after confirming everything did Hao Yunyang enter the elevator with Wang Shiyu.
It was already five o’clock in the afternoon, just the right time for dinner.
After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, he arrived at the Jin Hui parking lot around 5:40. Liu Ming, who came directly from the company, was already standing at the entrance, seemingly having an intense conversation with a woman in uniform from a distance.
“Yunyang,” Liu Ming, seeing Hao Yunyang and Wang Shiyu approaching from the parking lot, waved from afar with a completely different smile from when they were at the company.
“Hehe, how did you get here so quickly?” Hao Yunyang walked up the steps, stepping on the ground he had swept countless times before, feeling an indescribable emotion while smiling and nodding slightly to the woman who was chatting with Liu Ming: “Director Cao.”
“You know each other?” Liu Ming was stunned, then laughed: “She was still a service staff when I was here. Now she’s a menu team leader. It’s good to know each other, saves me from explaining.”
“Hehe, haven’t seen you in a while, Yunyang. Got rich?” The woman Hao Yunyang called Director Cao was a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old woman with an average appearance, around 1.60 meters tall, looking about 1.67 in high heels. Holding an ordering device in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other, she glanced at Hao Yunyang’s attire with a hint of surprise and asked, “Here for dinner today?”
“Yes, having a casual meal with some friends. How is everyone?” Hao Yunyang had no issues with this Director Cao or any Jin Hui staff. His main purpose today was to have dinner, subtly annoy Wang Qun, and find an opportunity to have Liu Xueling directly fire him. Wait, is that too evil?
Liu Ming, come down and wait at the entrance for a while to receive Chen Xin and the others. I have something urgent to attend to temporarily. After dialing Liu Ming’s phone and saying a few words, Hao Yunyang nodded lightly to Liu Xueling: “Let’s go.”
“Director Hao, this way please.”
Liu Xueling’s heart relaxed, revealing a slight smile. She gestured with her hand to lead the way, guiding Hao Yunyang towards her office, which she might not visit even once in half a month.
Cao Banzhang heard it clearly and repeatedly pondered Liu Xueling’s previous way of addressing Hao Yunyang. The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed. He knew quite well who Hao Yunyang was – a migrant worker from a small town in Sichuan. How could someone worth nearly a hundred million like Liu Xueling call him “Director Hao”?
Could it be that some company boss had mistakenly hired Hao Yunyang as a general manager? Looking at Hao Yunyang’s stylish attire, that seemed the most likely explanation!
Cao Banzhang felt he had figured out the hidden truth, his face showing a confident expression.
