115: Chapter 115 Something Happened

Chen Hao's thoughts were quite complex.

In his view, Shayiva was a bit too single-minded; working to earn money and her plan didn't actually conflict.

"Actually, you don't necessarily have to retire. You could change careers, or become an investor, investing in the beauty and fitness industry, becoming a major shareholder behind the scenes. That way, you can both earn money and continuously work out to maintain your figure."

Chen Hao's words stunned Shayiva.

"If I were you, I'd first use my position to find suitable investors through the Xinglong Group's channels. You could privately invest until everything is ready, and then resign to throw yourself into the beauty and fitness industry."

"This way, you can earn money and focus on beauty and fitness, without spending your original savings. It’s a win-win situation, isn't that great?"

She blinked her big eyes and murmured to herself.

"It can be done like this too. Why didn't I ever think of that before?"

"Shayiva Favorability +5, Current Favorability 85"

"How exactly should I do this? Can you help me come up with a plan?"

Next, the two of them talked in detail on the bed, completely naked.

Coming up with ideas was Chen Hao's specialty. As long as there was an idea, he could turn that idea into reality.

Just like that, Chen Hao rambled on eloquently, chatting from evening until dawn. The more they talked, the more energetic they became.

Fortunately, it was Sunday, so Shayiva didn't have to work. Chen Hao planned out every subsequent step with her in detail.

"The next step is practical execution: finding suitable beauty products to invest in. After that, you can open a gym, selling products while working out. You can earn money while achieving your goal—a win-win situation."

"Shayiva Favorability +5, Current Favorability 90"

"You really are amazing. No wonder CEO Wei always said you were a talent. Today I finally understand."

She smiled and climbed onto Chen Hao.

"It is truly my honor to know you."

Saying that, she took the initiative to give him a passionate kiss, which aroused a physical response in Chen Hao.

It was another long and arduous battle.

...

After the second battle ended.

The time was already approaching noon.

Shayiva lay on the bed like a puddle of mud, completely unable to get up.

Chen Hao said while putting on his clothes.

"Tomorrow is Monday, I have to start work at the real estate company. I have things to do today too. See you later."

Shayiva waved her hand breathlessly.

"See you later. I'll find you again in a few days."

Just like that, Chen Hao left Shayiva's house feeling satisfied.

Although his favorability remained at 90 and didn't increase further, as long as there was contact later, conquering her was just a matter of time.

The reason Chen Hao was in a hurry to leave wasn't because of any urgent matter. After all, having returned to Jiangcheng, he needed to inform Sun Nana, and he also needed to go check on the property.

When he passed by yesterday, the renovation was nearing completion, with only the plaque left to be installed. Today, he absolutely had to see Pang Dahai and call Sun Nana out to meet him as well.

Starbucks Coffee Shop on the commercial street.

Not long after Chen Hao sat down, Sun Nana arrived excitedly.

"Brother Hao!"

As soon as they met, Sun Nana gave him an enthusiastic hug.

"Stop messing around. Sit down first and tell me what kind of reforms the company is undergoing."

Sun Nana said with a smile.

"After Wang Liguo returned, he contacted the other shareholders and called a shareholders' meeting to reform the market sales department. He said they need to keep up with the times, and all future sales methods will adopt the livestream selling model."

"He also told us salespeople to only be responsible for liaising with the source factories, completely cutting off our business, and changing the Sales Department into a Procurement Department."

Chen Hao analyzed the situation seriously.

"Did CEO Ma agree too?"

"What choice did we have if he didn't agree? Wang Liguo is good at deceiving people, and the other shareholders listen to this liar. CEO Ma was sidelined long ago and has no say."

"Also, due to the internal reforms recently, it seems the Sales Department is facing massive layoffs. I estimate I'm on the layoff list too."

Chen Hao gave a wry smile.

"Wang Liguo has gone mad."

Sun Nana looked left and right and lowered her voice.

"Do you know who is in charge of the new business?"

"Who?"

"Wang Kaiming!"

Chen Hao froze and questioned.

"He's out?"

Sun Nana replied.

"Didn't he have an injury? I heard he used connections to get released on bail. When I returned to Jiangcheng, he was already out."

"He and Lin Xiaomeng are colluding, and he even said he wants to train Lin Xiaomeng to become a backbone for Internet Celebrity live streaming. They must be showing off in the company."

Hearing this, Chen Hao smirked wickedly.

His former company was actually moving in that direction, and they ran right into Chen Hao's trap. It was truly a case of choosing the path to hell when the road to heaven was open.

"Brother Hao, the way you're smiling is sinister and creepy."

Sun Nana subconsciously hugged her arms and shivered.

Chen Hao immediately adjusted his expression.

"It's nothing, continue."

Sun Nana thought for a moment.

"That's all. Oh right, since they are laying people off, I expect I'll be dismissed within a few days. So, have you thought about my fallback plan? When will you bring me in for a job?"

Chen Hao said with certainty.

"As long as CEO Ma is still the company president, you will absolutely not be fired."

Sun Nana pouted.

"CEO Ma only has this much power now. I really can't stand the sight of the Wang family, especially Wang Kaiming. He just has a face that deserves a beating. He and Lin Xiaomeng are truly in cahoots, a match made in heaven."

Chen Hao comforted Sun Nana a few times. They had a simple lunch together. After seeing her off, Chen Hao went to see Pang Dahai.

As soon as he entered, he first smelled the scent of sealant.

"Hao Zi, you're finally back!"

Pang Dahai greeted him enthusiastically, throwing an arm around Chen Hao's shoulder as they toured the new shop.

It really wasn't bad; the newly renovated environment was quite good. Pang Dahai's construction crew's craftsmanship was impeccable.

"Not bad, not bad. Now, all that's missing is the plaque."

Upon hearing this, Pang Dahai asked.

"I keep forgetting to ask, what is the name of the plaque? We're just one step away from finishing."

Chen Hao stated frankly.

"goddess token."

"OK, I'll immediately arrange for someone to make the plaque."

As soon as Pang Dahai finished speaking, he remembered something.

"Oh right, where is your girlfriend? That tall, beautiful one. Why didn't she come with you?"

Speak of the devil, the phone rang.

Chen Hao held up his phone to signal.

"Isn't that the call coming in now?"

Chen Hao answered the phone.

"Hello!"

"Ah~ Chen Hao, save me... (You get out here! It's only right to pay back debts, where are you hiding!)"

The phone line was very noisy, accompanied by the sound of the door being smashed, and Zhang Menglu's screams—it was quite alarming.

"Damn it, something happened! Brother Dahai, lend me your car!"

Chen Hao shouted, and rushed out the door in a frantic hurry.

Pang Dahai reacted quickly too. He beckoned, calling two capable helpers. They swarmed out the door with Chen Hao and rushed to the night market street in the car.
