CHAPTER 493: CHAPTER 295: THE OPERATION BEGINS

Inside a villa in Jinxiu Huacheng, the sunlight filtered through the gauze windows in strands, warmly caressing the beautiful woman curled up in bed like a kitten, staring blankly at the door, the man’s warning still echoing in her ears: "Remember to get to the company before 9 o’clock!"

Her lips couldn’t help but curl into a mocking smile. So, the promise he made this morning to let her go in a bit later was just a mere half an hour later than usual—how ridiculous!

It seems she needed to hurry up. Who knows when he would grow tired of her? She definitely did not want to merely be a hardworking hotel manager.

Thinking this, she quickly rolled out of bed, opened the bedside safe, and carefully examined the property deed of the villa. How could she get him to sign the transfer contract?

Walking barefoot through the rooms, her desire to own this place grew stronger. Having adapted to living in large rooms, how could she be willing to squeeze into a small apartment again?

...

"Mr. Hao... Mr. Hao, there are... guests... looking for you."

As Hao Feng was about to enter his office, his secretary Long NiNi came running up, gasping for breath, her chest heaving dramatically, her cheeks flushed with an enticing rosy color.

Hao Feng paused, a faint smirk curled on his lips: "Didn’t I say that I won’t meet guests without an appointment? Or, do you want me to punish you?"

The latter phrase, coupled with his expression, carried a hint of ambiguous insinuation.

Knowing her boss’s temperament well, Long NiNi’s cheeks flushed with annoyance, thinking of her family situation, she tried to suppress her anger and explained: "Mr. Hao, of course I remember, but the guests are quite special, one of them is the General Manager of Ye Family’s East China District, who attended the business summit last month with you and Manager Liang, so I recognized him."

"You mean the guest is Ye JiaPing, the General Manager of Ye Family’s East China District?" Hao Feng’s intrigued mood completely dissipated, his voice suddenly raised.

Long NiNi nodded: "Yes, although I only saw him once, he’s quite memorable, favoring Chinese-style attire, exuding an elegance unlike the common folk."

Hao Feng’s eyes flashed with dissatisfaction: "Are you suggesting I’m common?"

"Mr. Hao, I didn’t mean that, I was just describing his features to you. He arrived at the company at 8:10 this morning, saying he had very important matters to discuss with you.

I tried to call you, but Manager Liang answered and mentioned you were already at the office, so I ran downstairs to wait for you, but just when I reached upstairs you had already taken the elevator, so I had to chase up the stairs."

A flicker of displeasure passed across Hao Feng’s face, that woman clearly wanted everyone to know about their relationship, he waved irritably: "I’ve noted your hard work, I’ll add a bonus this month, where are the guests?"

"In the VIP conference room," answered Long NiNi.

"Alright, you go ahead, don’t receive anyone looking for me for now."

"Yes, Mr. Hao."

Hao Feng hurried towards the conference room with a mixture of apprehension and excitement, Ye JiaPing being so eager to meet him probably meant one thing—collaboration!

The Ye Family, that was the high branch he dreamed of clinging to, even if his profits would reduce following the collaboration, he would be exceedingly willing!

As an outsider, no matter how big he built his Giant, in others’ eyes, he was still a nouveau riche. To this day, money was just a number to him; what he truly desired was to be known as a renowned entrepreneur behind his back, not a famous nouveau riche!

If he could collaborate with the Ye Family, that issue would be resolved outright. If he were just a nouveau riche, why would a prestigious family collaborate with him?

Moreover, he firmly believed that collaborating with the Ye Family would make Giant’s journey even smoother, and he could enter the circles he longed for with dignity!

Thinking this, his restless heart calmed down. Hao Feng briskly approached the conference room door, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and without even clearly seeing the situation inside, he immediately said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was having tea with a client this morning and it took longer; I made President Ye wait."

Luo Ye cornered his lips, poking Qu Yue, who quickly reined in her smile: "Mr. Hao, President Ye had to leave temporarily for an urgent matter."

"Left?" Hao Feng’s heart suddenly sank, his gaze following the direction of the voice to find only a man and a woman sitting at the table on the east side.

His eyes touched upon Luo Ye, a flash of astonishment crossing his face. This girl differed fundamentally from the beauties he had seen before; her eyes luminous and coquettish yet so pure and transparent...

Qu Yue coughed discontentedly.

Hao Feng came back to his senses, awkwardly chuckling: "Hello, I am Hao Feng, the general manager of Giant. May I know... when will President Ye return?"
