” Ugh … No problem…” After Yang Ming heard it, he couldn’t help but think of the moment in the past. He nodded awkwardly. But fortunately, Yang Ming’s face had trained to be really thick-skinned, so it was nothing too unnatural.
After Xia Xue explained, she probably also felt that her explanation was easily misunderstood. Especially because the relations.h.i.+p between Yang Ming and her was not so innocent. Initially, Xia Xue didn’t have too many concerns when she was doing anything or talking with Yang Ming. Therefore, she didn’t even think that conversations about “long term meal ticket” would be a.s.sociated with any ambiguity. It wasn’t that Xia Xue didn’t know anything. She was just careless and didn’t think much about it. But now it was different. She thought about what she said. It seemed that it was a bit too easy to cause a misunderstanding, so she coughed twice and said, “Then… I’m working now. Let’s talk next time?”
Xia Xue had matured a lot more compared to half a year ago. There was some leaders.h.i.+p quality in her behavior. The sentence that was said didn’t appear to be abrupt, but it was natural.
Yang Ming nodded, looked at Xia Xue and said, “If there is anything, call me. In fact, if you weren’t always against me, we can be good friends and drink together!”
” Hehe !” Xia Xue smiled and waved at Yang Ming. “Okay, that is a deal.”
Looking at the tow truck that was far away, Yang Ming hesitated. He felt a sense of deja vu from the tattered taxi, but he couldn’t remember where he had encountered it.
Yang Ming shook his head. I’m probably too sensitive. Since the streets are full of taxis, it isn’t strange to have met them before.
When Yang Ming got home, he saw his mom and dad sitting on the sofa in the living room talking about something. Yang Ming’s father frowned with a cigarette in his hand, seemingly a little troubled. His mother was unhappy and said on her own accord, “If you let him come, then I won’t go to work. Now there are a lot of places that want to hire me!”
“But now, there is not only the relations.h.i.+p between cla.s.smates, but his family also had some connections. It’s inappropriate for me to refuse.” Yang Dahai said with some helplessness.
“That won’t do. When I went to school, what was Qian Xinsheng like? You also know it. Sticking to me all day…” Mother Yang said with some disgust.
“That thing was ages ago. Chen Zhima is ruined. Moreover, Old Qian has a family now. He came back from j.a.pan at the start of the year. He is much more composed.” Yang Dahai said, “Now, the CEO of the X Steel Mill that cooperates with the factory is his brother-in-law. How can I refuse?”
“Dad, Mom, what are you arguing about?” Yang Ming asked quickly after entering the house.
“One of your Mom’s pursuers from last time wants to join the company. He wants to have a senior executive position. I’m discussing with your mother on what to do.” Yang Dahai also didn’t hide from Yang Ming. He had already regarded Yang Ming as an adult.
” Oh ? I heard that there were some connections with his family. What happened?” asked Yang Ming.
“It’s like this. After the company’s reform, the steel mill, which we originally had a cooperative business with, couldn’t meet the company’s production needs in the supply of raw steel. We could only contact another steel company.” Yang Dahai explained, “You also know the steel mill business is monopolized. Basically, it is the seller’s market. Although our local government relations are not weak, the steel mill is outside the province. There was no way for the leaders to pressure them.
“In this negotiation, the CEO of the other party put forward a condition. There ware no problem in the supply, but his nephew had just returned from studying in j.a.pan this year. He majored in marketing. He was recommended to come to work here.
“In fact, it was said that it was a recommendation of talent. In fact, it was clear that it was used as an exchange condition. Probably, if I didn’t agree, the future business would have been gone.”
“How much annual salary does he want?” asked Yang Ming.
“A million or so, but this doesn’t matter. The company would still do fine without this money. Even if he doesn’t do anything, it was still possible to keep an idler.” Yang Dahai paused as he spoke to this point. He said, “So I had promised beforehand. However, I didn’t expect when we met each other at noon for lunch that the person who is coming is your mom’s former cla.s.smate, Qian Xinsheng!”
“Then, you hesitated, and Mom is a little unhappy? Is this true?” Yang Ming said with a smile.
Yang Dahai laughed twice and agreed with Yang Ming.
“Dad, Mom, I won’t say much about this. But I think, I’m already so big. My mom isn’t the kind of person who likes to cause gossip, so it isn’t a big deal,” Yang Ming said.
“That’s true. You see? You’re not as good as your child!” Yang Dahai said to Mother Yang, “Don’t I know your character yet? It is impossible to do anything with Old Qian. If something could happen, it would’ve happened a long time ago. Can you still marry me back then?”
“What is this mess? I’m not afraid of what he thinks. Affecting the work? Do you think I’m afraid of what would happen between him and me?” Mother Yang said peevishly, “This time, in order to prove my innocence, you really have to let him come! Otherwise, it seems like I’m guilty.”
” Hehe .” Yang Dahai didn’t expect his son would convince his wife to agree with a few words. He smiled and said, “That is it. I’ll give them a reply.”
“However, if he really does anything inappropriate, just immediately fire him. There is no need to be courteous.” Yang Ming said, “As for the manager, let me solve it.”
Yang Ming’s consistent view was that if you can’t come to an agreement after discussion, then you have to use violence. Generally speaking, these extremely wealthy corporate executives were more afraid of death, and it was most suitable to use evil methods on them.
In particular, these people usually didn’t dare to call the police, fearing that it would lead to disaster.
Although Yang Dahai didn’t know what solution his son had, during this time, Yang Ming’s calmness had already made Yang Dahai completely relieved.
Yang Ming went back to his bedroom, turned on the computer, and wondered if “Wild Female Teacher” would go online.
However, when Yang Ming logged into QQ, he saw a gray, offline avatar. Yang Ming sent a message and asked if the other party was online, but he didn’t get any reply.
Yang Ming couldn’t help but be a little apologetic and regretful. Why didn’t he ask for the other party’s information when the two were chatting and play cards together?
“You’re here?” Yang Ming opened a new message which was sent by “I’m a Superstar.”
There’s No True Love In This World: En , I’m here. Yang Ming replied with a message.
I’m a Superstar: What are you doing? I haven’t seen you online for a long time.
There’s No True Love In This World: I’ve been busy lately, so I didn’t go online. How are you recently?
I’m a Superstar: Ai , I’m still busy with concerts! Quite an exhausting day.
Yang Ming looked at the message from “I’m a Superstar” and couldn’t help but smile. He thought, How can she still pretend? Yang Ming didn’t believe that the other party would be a celebrity. The reason was very simple. Which star had the time to chat with netizens who they were unfamiliar with?
However, Yang Ming still cooperated with a message: Concert! Where is that? I also would like to go and see.
I’m a Superstar: Can you come? That would be great. I will ask someone to send you a ticket. Tell me the address.
Yang Ming was stunned, Really? The act is so realistic? So he continued: Ok, I’m in Song Jiang, but tomorrow I’m going to see Shu Ya’s concert. Your concert must be postponed for a few days…
I’m a Superstar: …
There’s No True Love In This World: Did you get mad at me?
I’m a Superstar: No, I just wanted to say that I am holding a concert in Song Jiang tomorrow…
Yang Ming couldn’t help but smile. This netizen can really be funny. Think of herself as Shu Ya?
There’s No True Love In This World: Are you going to tell me that you’re Shu Ya?
I’m a Superstar: What do you think?
There’s No True Love In This World: Then it is settled. I will see you tomorrow! I’m sitting in the VIP section. Let’s see if you can recognize me.
I’m a Superstar: It’s a deal. I have to rest. See you tomorrow.
Yang Ming simply regarded this matter, of course, just as a joke. Shu Ya? Would she chat with me? And as a good friend online?
The next night, before 17:00.
The entrance to the district stadium was crowded with people. Although the concert was officially opened at 18:00, the excited fans, who were unwilling to wait at home, came to the square in front of the stadium.
In the square, on the large advertis.e.m.e.nt screen, Shu Ya was beautiful and dignified, kind and natural. The fans spontaneously made a long slogan under the billboard.
“Shu Ya, we love you.” “Shu Ya, welcome to Song Jiang”… Such banners were everywhere.
And those entertainment reporters also rushed to the scene early, set up their cameras, ready to get the first-hand news.
Although there were many people in the square, these people were not chaotic but stood together in groups. Because they were all fans of Shu Ya, they came here with a common expectation and purpose.
Even so, Bao Sanli sent all the bodyguards from the Ming Yang Security Company out to maintain order at the scene. The relevant departments in the city also gave instructions. This was the biggest national concert held in Song Jiang in recent years, and no mistakes were allowed!
Because this concert brought invaluable economic value to Song Jiang’s tourism, catering and hospitality industries, hotels with a usual occupancy rate of less than 30% were full.
Although Bao Sanli didn’t need to listen to anyone, it was also good to have good relations with the competent departments of some companies. Bao Sanli’s company was bleached[1], and it was said that this was also a good opportunity.
Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan came to the scene early because Yang Ming said that he would go over. It wasn’t strange for these two distinguished characters to be at the scene together.
