After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 267: 236, Younger Aunt and Aunt (Requesting Monthly Votes)



"Huh?"

Yang Hao was utterly confused, thinking he might have misheard.

He looked at Miss Color standing across from him, who seemed very serious.

"What do you mean? I don't quite understand!" Yang Hao asked.

"I'm selling myself!"

Huang Qing said earnestly.

Yang Hao was taken aback. "Have you run into some kind of trouble?"

"Let's talk in the office!"

The corridor, bustling with people, was not the place for such conversations.

"Sure."

Huang Qing nodded and led Yang Hao to the office at the end of the hallway.

Ding!

A random task triggered: [Investor]

As a wealthy individual, one must have an investment mindset to keep wealth circulating and money earning more money.

Mission Content: Invest in "Dazhong Commerce and Trade" to help the company overcome its difficulties.

Mission Reward: Double return on investment amount, one Skill Card.

As soon as Yang Hao entered the office, the System's voice chimed in his mind.

Dazhong Commerce and Trade?

Whose company is that?

Yang Hao subconsciously looked at Huang Qing, guessing the task was most likely related to Miss Color, indicating that Dazhong Commerce and Trade was probably associated with her.

Yang Hao sat down on the guest sofa and gestured for Huang Qing to sit opposite him: "Tell me what's going on."

"My family's company is facing bankruptcy and needs a large sum of money," Huang Qing stated succinctly.

"So, you're planning to sell yourself to me?" Yang Hao asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Huang Qing nodded seriously. "Mr. Yang, how much do you think I'm worth?"

Yang Hao considered for a moment and said, "Priceless."

He wasn't just being polite; the System rated Miss Color's work ability as "AS".

Business ability A, loyalty grade S!

Indeed, the value such an employee could create for Yang Hao in the future was truly immeasurable.

"How much does your family's company need?"

As Huang Qing was lost in thought, Yang Hao asked.

"About a hundred million, I guess," Huang Qing answered.

"Then, arrange a meeting with your father, and we'll talk face to face tomorrow."

A hundred million wasn't a small amount, but Yang Hao had more than enough liquidity in his account.

"I just got a call from home asking me to come back tomorrow; how about you come with me?" Huang Qing sought Yang Hao's opinion.

"No problem," he agreed.

"Then let's make it tomorrow morning; the club will be free anyway."

"That works for me."

Yang Hao had no arrangements for the next day, and since the task promised a generous reward, he would prioritize it even if he had other commitments.

Seeing how readily Yang Hao had agreed, Huang Qing was naturally very grateful. She looked at Yang Hao and said earnestly, "Hao, if you can help our family's business through this crisis, I will be yours from then on!"

Yang Hao waved his hand with a smile: "I'm not one to take advantage of others in their time of need."

"Let's solve the problem first, and other matters will follow naturally!"

To Yang Hao, Miss Huang Qing indeed had her appeal. This type of woman was unique in his circle, and of course, it was mainly because she met the standards of beauty and figure.

However, he really didn't want to take advantage of someone in their time of need. It just wasn't interesting.

Such things should be consensual!

A man can be fickle-hearted, but he must have principles.

Yang Hao's principles were not to coerce, not to exploit vulnerability, and not to break up other people's families!

After setting a time to meet Huang Qing's father at ten the next morning, Yang Hao returned to the party.

After he left, Ye Wei, who was waiting at the door, immediately entered the office. She looked at Huang Qing with confusion: "Nothing happened between you two?"

"I was timing it!"

"Can't you think of something healthy for once!"

Huang Qing glared at her best friend, whose mind was obviously filled with inappropriate thoughts.

"Well, Mr. Yang has just finished, so he must be in his sage time right now," Ye Wei said as she folded her arms across her chest, then asked with a grin, "But Qing, you must have reached an agreement, right?"

"He said he would talk to my dad tomorrow."

Since Yang Hao had not explicitly agreed to help, Huang Qing was unsure if he would extend his hand of assistance.

"A hundred million, huh!"

"That's no small sum; I hope Mr. Yang will lend it to you!" Ye Wei expressed her earnest hope.

Huang Qing nodded; borrowing money these days was the hardest thing, especially when it was a hundred million!

Meanwhile...

The Wang Family was enjoying themselves immensely, and the atmosphere in the private room was lively, with the older generation being the life of the party.

The younger generation was mostly killing time on their phones. Fang Ke was sending photos of the room's opulent interior to his goddess Chen Ruohan, while also boasting about his "brother-in-law," Yang Hao.

What Fang Ke didn't know was that the more he boasted about his wealthy brother-in-law, the more his chatting partner, the goddess, became interested in him.

She also complained to Fang Ke that she had asked Yang Hao about cars, but he hadn't even replied to her.

So when Yang Hao returned to the private room, Fang Ke approached him: "Brother-in-law, could I talk to you about something?"

"Sure, go ahead."

Yang Hao casually consented.

"My classmate, she says she asked you a question about cars and you never responded."

"Could you please reply to her? Please, brother-in-law!"

As he spoke, Fang Ke even bowed to Yang Hao.

Yang Hao, however, was stunned as he wondered what brand of dog food could produce such a Roaring Heavenly Dog!

Section Chief Fang wasn't exactly handsome, but he was a spirited young man who should have been able to find a girlfriend in college. Instead, he ended up being PUA'd into a loyal Roaring Heavenly Dog.

Yang Hao really seemed a bit interested in that "Hanhan."

Of course, he was just curious about what kind of girl she was, apparently someone with quite a high status.

What Yang Hao didn't know was that Fang Ke didn't see himself as a lapdog, he thought he was super warm and affectionate.

When the brother-in-law didn't reply to his goddess's messages, he went out of his way to plead on her behalf. His main argument was to spare the goddess the taste of waiting for someone to reply to her messages, because he knew all too well how painful that feeling was.

"Is Hanhan your classmate, or your girlfriend?" Yang Hao asked knowingly, aiming to hit where it hurt and to bring this Roaring Heavenly Dog "little brother-in-law" to his senses.

"Right now, we're just classmates."

"But, I'm working on it!"

Fang Ke said confidently, "I feel like sooner or later, Hanhan will become my girlfriend!"

"As the saying goes, with enough effort, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle!"

"I'm sure I can touch Hanhan's heart with my sincerity!"

Fang Ke was still earnestly deluding himself.

Yang Hao silently sighed.

Late-stage licking cancer!

This kid is beyond help!

With hopeful eyes, Fang Ke watched as Yang Hao casually replied to "Hanhan's" message.

Fang Ke left contentedly, then went to brag about his efforts to his goddess via WeChat...

"Brother-in-law, I'm counting on you for the work stuff."

"I'm raising a toast to you."

No sooner had Fang Ke left than Fang Yan, with a glass of beer in her hand, sat down beside Yang Hao, downing it in one gulp after her toast.

Yang Hao just happened to be thirsty at the moment, so he also picked up his glass and drank half of it.

"Elder sister's husband, how about playing dice?"

Fang Yan put down her glass and picked up the dice cup. Because the room was so loud, she subconsciously moved closer to Yang Hao, her hand seeming to accidentally land on his thigh.

Yang Hao squinted at his elder sister-in-law, knowing that physical contact between men and women is never accidental, especially when initiated by a woman. What appears to be accidental is actually long premeditated.

Trying to steal his cousin's man right in front of her!

She's quite ruthless!

Yang Hao reflected to himself quietly.

At this moment, Sun Jixing, with a grin on his face, pushed his way over. He'd had quite a bit to drink that day and was already somewhat tipsy.

"Yanyan, I'll play dice with you!"

"Yang, come on, join us~!"

As Sun Jixing spoke, he put his hand on Yang Hao's shoulder, calling him "Yang" quite naturally.

Actually, he was only a year older than Yang Hao, but since he was the elder brother-in-law through Wang Xueru's connection, calling Yang Hao "Yang" wasn't really out of line.

It's just that when two peers address each other this way, it's a bit presumptuous; usually, it's people of higher status who do so.

Yang Hao didn't mind, after all, he had been the one who had beaten the elder brother-in-law under the table today, so letting him have his moment of verbal sparring was fine.

But Fang Yan clearly didn't want to bother with her elder brother-in-law any longer. She had just asked Wang Bingru about the situation at the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group and was already sure that Sun Jixing didn't actually know any of the leaders there. His performance at the dinner table had been sheer bluff!

Therefore, a brother-in-law in Capital City, who was completely unhelpful to her, did not merit forming a close bond with.

The current "second brother-in-law".

No, it was Mr. Yang who deserved her attention!

Just now, her mother Wang Hong'e had again brainwashed her, stressing that she must seize the opportunity because ordinary people did not have the chance to meet such wealthy tycoons.

Leaving aside the identity of the president of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, just the owner of Haojue Club was someone beyond the reach of common folk.

Wang Hong'e had specifically looked up Haojue Club online and found out that it boasted an investment of three hundred million!

In short, it was extremely lavish!

"Elder Sister's Husband, Yan Yan, you guys have fun."

"I have something to discuss with Xueru..."

Yang Hao didn't plan to get tangled up with the two and got up to find Wang Xueru, who was sitting on the other side.

As Yang Hao, the third wheel, walked away, Sun Jixing was overjoyed: "Yan Yan, let's play!"

"Right, I know a top executive at Fangneng Group, very well-acquainted. If you can't get into Jiangcheng Newspaper, I'll help you contact Fangneng Group..."

Sun Jixing could likely guess Fang Yan's thoughts, so he threw out another hook.

Fang Yan initially did not really want to engage with Sun Jixing, but upon hearing what he said, she didn't make her disinterest too obvious. Regardless of whether it was true or false, after all, it was another option for her.

So, she started playing dice with the Elder Sister's Husband.

On the other side, Wang Xueru was chatting about private matters with her elder sister Wang Jingru, mainly playing the role of listener while her sister vented about Sun Jixing's affair.

Seeing Yang Hao approach, Wang Jingru stopped her tirade and subconsciously reached up to tidy some of her messy hair.

She didn't know why, but she found herself peculiarly fond of this brother-in-law, as if he was constantly shining.

"Sister, Yang is not an outsider."

"From my experience, infidelity in marriage occurs either never or countless times."

"So, you need to ask yourself if you can truly tolerate it," Wang Xueru said with a frown.

Wang Jingru glanced at Yang Hao who had silently sat down next to her sister, then whispered, "I just can't bear to part with Chenchen."

"I understand."

Wang Xueru nodded her head; she had chosen to forgive Shen Mingshan in the past because she had her daughter Nuonuo.

So, such matters were not something one could give advice on—each person's choices differed.

Some could compromise for the sake of their children, while others chose to separate. No matter the decision, it had its reasoning, and it all depended on personal views.

Therefore, Wang Xueru would not offer her sister a definite suggestion about this situation. Decisions like this had to be made by the person involved; otherwise, if they regretted it later or ended up unhappy, they would blame the one who gave the advice.

"If I divorce, I don't want to stay in Capital City. It's very likely I'll return to Jiangcheng, back to my parents."

"But the job opportunities in Jiangcheng are not as good as in Capital City, and I don't know if I could find suitable work."

Wang Jingru sighed but her gaze involuntarily swept over Yang Hao, as if she was expecting something from him.

"What kind of work do you do, Elder Sister Jingru?"

Even though Wang Jingru was younger than him, she was still his "Aunt," so Yang Hao addressed her respectfully.

"I'm with Universal Film Entertainment China Headquarters, responsible for film distribution,"

Wang Jingru responded truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao couldn't help but laugh: "What a coincidence, I happen to have a media company. If Elder Sister Jingru really comes back to Jiangcheng, you could come over to help out."
