Chapter 180: 173, Ex-wife and Aunt Dual Buff (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for completing the task [Studious Wang Xueru]
Task reward: 3 Kidney Energy Points, Study Card*3
Within Wenjie M9, after Yang Hao instructed Wang Xueru on three new pieces of knowledge, the voice of the System arrived as expected.
Thus, Yang Hao's Kidney Energy Value shot up to 91 points!!
Only 9 points away from 100!!
According to the System's introduction, any value reaching 100 points will undergo a qualitative change.
So, Yang Hao is very curious about what kind of change will happen when his Kidney Energy Value reaches one hundred points!
"Director Shen is watching us..."
Although the task is completed, the battle isn't over yet, Yang Hao said to Wang Xueru, who was lying on the second row of seats, with a chuckle.
"Ah?"
The complexion of a blushing Wang Xueru turned even redder in surprise.
But then, a different kind of thrill emerged in her heart.
Yang Hao said with another chuckle, "He's been following us in his car."
At first, Yang Hao didn't notice, but after they left the congested downtown area, there were fewer vehicles, and although Shen Mingshan tried to maintain a distance, he was still spotted by Yang Hao.
However, for him, this was entirely inconsequential, even considered a kind of buff.
Speaking of buffs, with Yu Jiujiu's Blue Buff this time, the situation really is different, and a 50% increase in attack speed is indeed much fiercer than before; even the normally durable beauty was begging for mercy...
The Wenjie M9 is equipped with privacy glass, and since it was already dark outside, plus the distance between both vehicles was substantial, Yang Hao wasn't worried about his heroic figure being captured on camera.
If the ex-husband has a hobby of recording, at most, he might record the continuously jolting car.
In the days that followed.
After tidying up his clothes, Yang Hao got out of the car and saw that Shen Mingshan's black BMW was still parked far away without moving. He decided to walk over and knocked on the car window.
Shen Mingshan had thought about leaving when he saw Yang Hao walking towards him, but feeling a bit cowardly, he stayed in the car without moving.
Now that the other party started knocking on the window, Shen Mingshan hesitated for a moment, then still rolled down the window.
"Director Shen, what a coincidence."
"Do you have a cigarette to spare?"
Yang Hao asked with a hand on the car door and a cheery smile.
Meanwhile, Shen Mingshan's face was fierce.
You motherfucker, did you specifically come to ask for a post-coital cigarette?
Do you find it amusing to ride my face?
Yang Hao was unaware of the ex-husband's inner turmoil; otherwise, he would have responded: It is amusing!
You can even follow me in your car, and I can't come over to say hello?
To Yang Hao's surprise, Shen Mingshan actually handed over a cigarette and even took the initiative to light it for him: "Mr. Yang, our Spirit Advertising has some cooperation with the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, I hope you'll look after us in the future!"
"After all, we're quite familiar now!"
After the coincidence encounter with Yang Hao and Wang Xueru at the coffee shop last time, Shen Mingshan made a point of inquiring about Yang Hao. As the marketing director at Spirit Advertising, he had extensive connections, and the news of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's president changing was big news in the advertising circle.
So Shen Mingshan, who was just trying his luck, actually managed to learn of Yang Hao's identity.
This once "delivery boy" turned out to be the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!!
Although he was shocked, the information on the shareholder change of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group couldn't be faked, meaning this man was, beyond a doubt, the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
At his age, Shen Mingshan was no longer the kind of thoughtless, hot-blooded youth. Since he couldn't change anything, it was better to utilize this network resource.
As long as he did well for himself in the future, what kind of woman couldn't he have?
He who achieves great things does not stick to trifles!
If Fan Li could offer a beauty like Xi Shi, why not Wang Xueru!
And besides, such things aren't unprecedented in modern society.
It's said that a very talented director offered his wife to a boss for the sake of his future, right?
And then, he got the quality resources he wished for and his wife extraordinarily became a Spring Festival Gala host!
Well, a win-win situation!!
In the moment he helped light Yang Hao's cigarette, Shen Mingshan's thoughts became clear.
He and Mr. Yang could be considered birds of a feather.
If he really needed help with business matters in the future, he could at least expect some courtesy, right?
Yang Hao, unexpecting that Shen Mingshan already knew of his identity, was momentarily taken aback, then he just laughed.
The ex-husband's horizons have expanded!
The path has widened!
"If you really have business matters, you can go to Director Cai from the president's office."
Having exhaled a puff of smoke and left behind those words, Yang Hao walked away.
"All right!"
"Take care, Mr. Yang."
The ex-husband even waved at Yang Hao's retreating figure.
Inside the Wenjie M9.
Wang Xueru had been silently watching the interaction between Yang Hao and her ex-husband, Shen Mingshan. When she saw her ex actually lighting a cigarette for Yang Hao, she was dumbfounded.
She had been worried that the two men might come to blows, but the conflict she imagined never happened. Her ex-husband even took the initiative to light a cigarette for Yang Hao, which was unimaginable!!
"Yang, what was that about?"
After Yang Hao got in the car, Wang Xueru curiously asked,
"What's the matter?"
"Nothing special," Yang Hao responded with a smile. "Director Shen's company has a partnership with our Jiangcheng Newspaper Group."
"I see!"
Wang Xueru nodded her head, understanding that to Shen Mingshan, career prospects were always his top priority.
Such a man would sacrifice anything for his future.
She felt somewhat relieved to have divorced already, or else she would only feel increasingly disgusted.
"Let's go!"
Yang Hao finished his cigarette, then drove back into the city.
"By the way, Xueru, I gave you some money," he mentioned.
"When you have time, go buy a car."
After dropping Wang Xueru off at the coffee shop, Yang Hao casually suggested it, noting that this beautiful young widow was still driving the same old BYD Dolphin.
That car was fine for running errands, but it lacked any prestige. After all, Wang Xueru was the boss of such a big coffee shop and she was also his woman, Mr. Yang. She ought to buy a car that reflected her status.
"Mhm, I'll buy one when I have time."
Actually, Wang Xueru had been thinking about getting a new car too, but she didn't feel right splurging with the money Yang Hao had given her. That's why she had only bought some luxury goods for Yang Hao before, along with some clothes for herself.
"I've already told you it's pocket money. If you run out, I'll transfer more to you, no need to save up!"
Yang Hao probably guessed Wang Xueru's thoughts and reminded her again before he left.
By the time he returned to Star Cloud Bay, it was almost ten o'clock.
Xixi had already gone to bed.
The nanny Jiang Yuqi's room door was also closed.
His in-laws, however, were still up, chatting with Li Manni in the living room.
When they saw Yang Hao return, the family immediately stopped talking.
"Hao, your dad and I are planning to go back tomorrow," Kang Huizhi said.
"That soon?"
Yang Hao was surprised. "Stay a few more days. Enjoy Jiangcheng!"
"Manni's grandfather's condition isn't great; I'm afraid he won't make it through the month. After we take care of his funeral, we'll come back and stay for a longer period."
Kang Huizhi explained.
"I see, you do need to go back then," Yang Hao nodded, figuring that if Li Baojun was 55 this year and the second oldest at home, Manni's grandfather must be around 80 or so.
"Li Manni can stay in the Binjiang Left Bank apartment for now, but I'm not at ease with her living there alone."
"Luckily, you live nearby. Hao, you have to take good care of Manni!" Kang Huizhi said earnestly, as if entrusting her daughter to Yang Hao.
"Mom, don't worry about it."
"I will definitely take good care of Manni."
Yang Hao immediately assured her, patting his chest.
"Mhm, I believe you," Kang Huizhi nodded firmly.
At the same time,
Inside an apartment in Wanhe New Town,
Li Manshu was confiding in her friend Tao Ying.
The dining table was laid with some food and several empty beer bottles.
Having drunk over three bottles of beer, Li Manshu was slightly tipsy. Squinting her eyes, she said, "My parents don't actually object to Manni and Yang Hao being together!"
"How ridiculous!"
"All it took was a car worth just over half a million and some gold jewelry worth over two hundred thousand, and they were completely dazzled..."
After hearing her friend's rant, Tao Ying chimed in, "Manshu, you really can't blame your parents. I'd be dazzled too if it were me."
"Of course, they'd hope for a billionaire like Yang Hao to be their son-in-law. That would secure their later life!"
"So their choice is understandable."
"But one must still think of one's own future!"
Li Manshu shook her head in frustration. "What else can I do?"
"Yang Hao has already blocked me, and he's surrounded by so many young and beautiful girls..."
Tao Ying, who had also had quite a bit to drink, narrowed her eyes into slits, her mouth curving into an intriguing smile. "That's why you should support Manni!"
"Huh?"
"Why??" Li Manshu was baffled.
"If Manni really ends up with Yang Hao, your status changes!" Tao Ying explained.
"My status changes??"
Li Manshu didn't grasp her friend's point. "What can change about me, an ex-wife?"
"No, no, no!"
Tao Ying gestured with her hands dismissively, then cheekily added, "In addition to being an ex-wife, you'll also become an 'Aunt'."
"They say a sister-in-law is half of a brother-in-law's butt, so as an 'Aunt,' wouldn't it be the same for you?"
"Men like excitement,"
"Once Manni gets together with Yang Hao, you'll have the 'Aunt Buff.' Then, just linger around him, and I don't believe he won't take an interest in you as his 'Aunt'!"
