Hao Yunyang didn’t care about Wang Shiyu and Su Jingchen’s interactions. After assigning tasks to Wan Hongyuan, he shifted his gaze to Wang Shiyu, pointing to another folder on the coffee table: “Learn these gymnastics by yourself and then lead the Baolong group members to practice,” Wang Shiyu nodded expressionlessly.
After dispatching a series of tasks, Hao Yunyang waved his hand for everyone to leave. He himself stretched, stood up from the sofa, and grinned at Su Jingchen.
In the living room of Villa No. 3 in the Liu Family Villa Complex.
“How are these three technologies? Have you fully understood them?” Liu Xiangru sat on the sofa, looking at the people beside him, a faint smile at the corner of his eye.
“We’ve fully understood them.”
Liu Guohua, the leader of the Liu family’s young generation, had far more speaking rights at this moment than the older generation like his third uncle, and more than the younger family members. Having studied the technical materials that Hao Yunyang previously had Liu Xueying bring back, he was most qualified to speak.
Smiling and sweeping a glance across everyone present, Liu Guohua cleared his throat and said: “With the support of these three technologies, our Liu family’s electrical industry will soon burst forth in a way that will make outsiders drop their jaws.”
“Earth people all know I’ve fallen in love with you” – a pleasant ringtone suddenly came from the phone in his pocket. Liu Guohua, who was mid-sentence, laughed awkwardly and apologetically looked at everyone before pulling out his phone…
Hey! Today my internet mood is quite bad – only slightly better now, and I’m not sure what’s going on. Sigh, two chapters in a row, and by the way seeking votes and collections for the new book “Grasping Divine Power” from my brothers and sisters.
After discussing the villa purchase with Zhao Chenxin, Hao Yunyang just hung up the phone. Then the car window was knocked: “Hey!”
“Hehe, let’s go.” Hao Yunyang turned his head and looked at Liu Xueying standing outside the car window. After lowering the window, he smiled and asked: “Where’s your friend?”
“There, that Porsche in front.” Liu Xueying was still dressed in a mature woman’s style. Although over forty, her heavy makeup appropriately concealed her age traces, and her features still looked quite good from the outline.
Following Liu Xueying’s direction, he indeed saw a black Porsche sports car parked about thirty meters ahead, its exhaust still running, indicating it hadn’t been turned off.
“Let’s go then.” Hao Yunyang smiled slightly, started the car, and Liu Xueying also gave a light laugh, turning to walk towards a yellow modern sports car behind Hao Yunyang’s.
They drove for about six minutes, then followed the two cars turning onto a not-very-wide cement road.
After driving for over three minutes, the previously blurry villa outline became clear, looking from afar like a secluded paradise. Although not nestled in mountains or by water, in a densely populated town like Liushi where cars outnumber people, it was an exceptionally quiet location.
As the car slowly approached the villa gate, Hao Yunyang’s satisfaction grew increasingly high.
The villa built in 2002, though eight years had passed, still looked relatively new, not as dilapidated as one might imagine.
Especially after entering the villa, the two rows of willow trees gave a serene feeling, and the crystal-clear water in the open-air swimming pool on one side further highlighted this leisurely atmosphere. Even before Hao Yunyang got out of the car to inspect, his mental evaluation of this villa had already reached an extremely high standard.
“This villa cost 14 million when it was initially constructed.” To Hao Yunyang’s surprise, the person emerging from the black Porsche wasn’t the middle-aged man he’d imagined, but a woman in her fifties!
Or perhaps calling her an elderly woman was too harsh – just barely a woman.
Wearing a pearl necklace, carrying a pearl-white handbag, with black curly hair matched with a light purple dress, she looked incredibly elegant and noble. Her face bore a peaceful smile, making Hao Yunyang feel embarrassed – now this was true nobility!
This woman began introducing details after getting out of the car, speaking at a measured pace: “Over eight years, including supplementary facilities and renovation costs, the total expenditure was around 33 million. Considering the current real estate market…”
“Let’s take a look around first,” Ye Yangcheng patiently listened to her introduction and smiled: “If everything looks good, we can proceed directly with the property transfer.”
“Haha, no wonder Liu always said you’re straightforward,” the woman smiled and gestured: “Please, this way.”
Half an hour later, Hao Yunyang confirmed his purchase intention and, under Liu Xueying’s guarantee, received all the villa’s keys.
An hour later, Zhao Chenxin accompanied Hao Yunyang to the villa, expressing complete satisfaction with its area and internal facilities.
That evening, Ye Yangcheng handed Liu Xueying a document folder. After opening it, Liu Xueying immediately drove away, presumably returning to the Liu family villa complex.
Over the next few days, Hao Yunyang completed the property transfer procedures with the woman, paying 18 million RMB to finalize the transaction.
Under Chen Pingping’s reluctant gaze, Hao Yunyang and Zhao Chenxin moved in with Su Jingchen, bringing only some clothing and Hao Yunyang’s desktop computer, which was more precious to him than life itself.
On the villa move-in night, Wang Shiyu arrived with thirty bruised and swollen “human dragons”, who were arranged by Zhao Chenxin to occupy ten bedrooms on the first and third floors, successfully settling these thirty individuals.
From the second day onward, life seemed to return to calm. Every morning, Zhao Chenxin would leave the villa in a new silver-gray Audi, accompanied by two Violent Dragon team members, to go to work at Xinping Company.
Jiuxiao Plane and Jiuxiao Network Technology’s recent operational situations were also quite good. Notably, Zhao Zhen and his brother Zhao Xianchu successively sold their companies, bringing a large group of talents willing to follow them to Liushi and join Jiuxiao Plane and Jiuxiao Network.
The Zhao brothers’ company-selling actions were naturally known to Hao Yunyang, who upon hearing the news remained surprisingly calm, with a subtle sense of inevitability.
At Jiuxiao Plane, works created by Sun Fei and others, processed through their systems and software, had reached near-perfect quality. They were now master-level figures in China’s graphic design industry with extremely high prestige.
Although Sun Feili chose to leave Jiuxiao Plane to start her own business, within ten days of leaving, she proactively contacted Liu Ming, placing her newly established company directly under Jiuxiao Plane’s banner, effectively becoming a subsidiary.
As for Jiuxiao Network Technology, with support from Jiuxiao Plane and Jiucheng Technology, and building on Jiuxiao Weike’s initial positioning, it had gradually transformed from a simple crowdsourcing website into a standard-setting platform for certain industry professionals in China.
Speaking of graphic design, if a designer obtains a senior freelancer qualification on the Jiuxiao Weike graphic design channel, then no matter which company he goes to work for next, his base salary will be in the tens of thousands!
Therefore, under such a large environmental impact, freelance industry companies are already struggling. Graphic design companies may not be completely squeezed out of the market, but they do feel somewhat constrained.
