“Hehe, I’ll have to trouble Director Liu to spend some money tonight. Please be understanding!” Hao Yunyang also broke into a hearty laugh, shaking hands with Liu Guohua and saying: “It’s been a few days, Director Liu looks quite radiant. Seems like you’ve been having good times lately.”
“Isn’t it because you’re here?” Liu Guohua laughed smoothly, then raised his hand to point at the villa’s door: “Director Hao, please.”
“Please.” Hao Yunyang smiled, also gesturing towards the villa door. The two exchanged smiles, yet harboring hidden intentions as they walked side by side towards the entrance.
Zhao Chenxin was somewhat confused because on the way here, Hao Yunyang had told her that Liu Guohua was a gangster boss with a terrible reputation. How could they now seem so familiar and friendly?
Her little brain naturally classified this as social pleasantries, learning that no matter how much suspicion or contempt exists between parties, one must still smile when meeting, and hidden knives cannot be casually drawn.
With a kind attitude, Hao Yunyang smiled slightly and said calmly: “If not for this, I wouldn’t have repeatedly helped the Liu family’s businesses. I’m afraid everyone here is most puzzled about why I would do something so thankless.”
His gaze swept across the room, and the Liu family members remained silent.
Hao Yunyang let out a light chuckle and continued talking to himself: “I’m sure you’re all wondering if I, Hao Yunyang, have some ulterior motives or hidden agenda towards the Liu family?”
His tone carried a hint of playful meaning.
Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Seven
The Liu family members fixed their eyes on Hao Yunyang, continuing to remain silent, which was tantamount to tacitly agreeing with his words.
“It’s only human nature, I understand,” Hao Yunyang laughed: “If I were in your position, I would have similar concerns, but I need to tell you something – you’re mistaken.”
“What do you mean, President Hao?” The third uncle of the Liu family’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his aggressive gaze immediately fell on Hao Yunyang, creating a cold and murderous atmosphere out of thin air.
Hao Yunyang’s body hair immediately stood on end uncontrollably.
At his age, having such murderous intent – isn’t he afraid of shortening his lifespan! Hao Yunyang secretly complained to himself, but maintained a calm facade, countering the third uncle’s murderous aura with a smile: “Since I proposed this meeting today, I naturally come with complete sincerity. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have chosen to hold this meeting in the Liu family villa complex. Don’t you agree, Third Uncle?”
The third uncle forced a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, but the murderous aura did dissipate.
Scanning the Liu family members with a serious expression, Hao Yunyang once again played his mysterious card, speaking softly: “There are no outsiders here, right?”
“Naturally not,” the Liu family’s eldest uncle said in a deep voice: “Inside and out, everything is very secure. President Hao, if you have something to say, please speak freely.”
“Hehe, before revealing my purpose, please first look at these items,” Hao Yunyang glanced at the eldest uncle, then signaled to Zhao Xinxin: “Take out the materials from my bag.”
“Okay,” Zhao Xinxin, intimidated by the somber atmosphere in the living room, came to her senses and carefully retrieved a file folder from her computer bag, handing it to Hao Yunyang.
“After you’ve seen what’s inside, I’ll explain some related details,” Hao Yunyang smiled at the eldest uncle and handed over the file folder, adding: “I remember telling Liu Xueying before that this is a rare opportunity. Everyone will understand once they’ve seen what’s inside.”
“Oh, of course I’ve heard of it!” Liu Guohua let out a light laugh: “Director Hao’s two companies seem to be called Jiuxiao, right? Jiuxiao Plane and Jiuxiao Network.”
“It’s not that Jiuxiao,” Hao Yunyang laughed, straightforwardly standing up from the sofa, hands clasped behind his back, his piercing gaze directly falling on Liu’s uncle, suddenly releasing an intentional or unintentional aura: “But an organization called Jiuxiao, an elite organization!”
“An elite organization called Jiuxiao?!” Including Liu’s uncle, a look of confusion swept across everyone’s eyes, looking at each other for confirmation, but no one showed a clear understanding.
After dozens of seconds of silent verification, Liu’s uncle finally turned to Hao Yunyang and said, “Please forgive our ignorance, we have never heard of this elite organization called Jiuxiao.” Unlike the Liu family’s confusion, Zhao Xinxin standing behind Hao Yunyang had already revealed a look of surprise, which was naturally caught by Liu’s uncle. If Hao Yunyang’s words were merely a prelude, then Zhao Xinxin’s inadvertently revealed surprise made Liu’s uncle subconsciously ask: “Director Hao, can you tell us what exactly this Jiuxiao organization is?”
“Hehe, it’s normal that you don’t know about Jiuxiao, not a sign of ignorance,” Hao Yunyang’s slightly nervous mood relaxed due to Liu’s uncle’s attitude, and he smiled and said: “Jiuxiao is an organization that gathers elites from various fields. For these elites, the organization conducts a considerable period of observation and assessment before recruiting. During this observation period, if anything happens to the assessed individual, the organization will step in to help them through their difficulties.”
By this point, Hao Yunyang no longer needed to continue. As the core strength of the Liu family, who among those present was not a seasoned veteran? Hao Yunyang’s words were essentially a frank admission that he, Hao Yunyang, was a member of the Jiuxiao organization.
“From what Director Hao means,” although he already had a certain speculative grasp, Liu’s uncle still feigned confusion and asked, “It seems our Liu family has become a assessment target of the Jiuxiao organization?”
“Hehe, please listen to me carefully,” Hao Yunyang, seeing through Liu’s uncle’s pretense, gave him a meaningful look and continued: “Jiuxiao is a very relaxed organization. The organization will not force members to join or leave, it’s entirely voluntary. During the assessment process, there will naturally be some investigative actions, but once these materials are reviewed, they will be immediately destroyed, so you don’t need to worry about personal information leakage.”
Hao Yunyang paused briefly, the corner of his mouth curving into an arc: “Once the assessed target passes the assessment, they become a key target for organizational recruitment. Jiuxiao is an organization that gathers elites from various fields, and will also allocate resources to its members to maximize the effectiveness of various resources. Of course, there won’t be pure output without return. After becoming an organization member, the biggest benefit is that no matter what problem arises, you can apply for help through your superior liaison, and also receive organizational welfare benefits during normal business operations.”
“These three technologies I have brought are the first welfare provided by the organization.” Seeing the Liu family members remain silent, Hao Yunyang could only continue speaking: “The organization should have many more patent technologies that can help the Liu family. As long as you join the organization and guarantee to keep the organization’s existence confidential and not leak it arbitrarily, then naturally, future benefits will not be lacking for you.”
“If we join the Jiuxiao Organization, the welfare treatment we can receive does sound quite tempting.” Liu Family’s elder uncle pondered for a moment, then threw out the question he most wanted to know: “So, while enjoying these welfare benefits, what does our Liu family need to contribute?”
