Pay respects to the young master?

Xu Hao was slightly startled, but quickly understood, was this Sun Yu also one of his old man's people?

Xu Hao glanced at Wang Zhong next to him, "Manager Wang, this Captain Sun..."

Wang Zhong nodded respectfully towards Xu Hao, "Yes, young master, you guessed right. Captain Sun is indeed one of the boss's men, codenamed Dragon Claw 13, mainly coordinating affairs in the Southwest Eight Provinces..."

Xu Hao, who now had a considerable understanding of his family's power, only hesitated for a moment before he helped Sun Yu to his feet, "Captain Sun... no need to be so polite! However we addressed each other before is fine! How about I still call you Big Brother Sun?"

Now that Sun Yu was certain of Xu Hao's identity, he hurriedly shook his head, "I dare not, young master. The boss is very strict with our rules. Lower levels absolutely must never show any insubordination to higher levels, otherwise they will face severe punishment..."

Seeing Sun Yu so insistent, Xu Hao naturally did not say much else. However, he was still quite shocked in his heart that Sun Yu was one of his old man's men.

After all, Sun Yu was Elder Chen's Guard Captain, with considerable power and status, and yet he was still someone within his father's organizational structure. This demonstrated just how powerful his own father's influence was throughout the entire Huaya.

Wang Zhong repeatedly urged Sun Yu not to reveal Xu Hao's identity before they parted ways.

Back at the company, there wasn't much to do in the afternoon. Seizing the opportunity, Xu Hao sorted through all the medical Kung Fu and metaphysical knowledge in his mind.

Just as he was about to get off work, Liu Ruyan suddenly told Xu Hao that the company needed to work overtime. Xu Hao waited for Liu Ruyan until after nine o'clock, nearly ten, before he saw her and Secretary Zhang Qian coming out of the elevator together.

Xu Hao started the car, took Liu Ruyan for a spin around the parking lot, and was just leaving the parking lot exit when he noticed Zhang Qian waiting for a cab on the roadside, seemingly waiting for a taxi.

It was already after 9 pm, and taxis were not easy to come by. Xu Hao stopped the car next to Zhang Qian. Liu Ruyan poked her head out of the car window, "Zhang Qian, don't you have your own car? Why are you waiting for a taxi here?"

Zhang Qian laughed sheepishly, "President Liu, I... I sold my car the other day!"

"Sold it? Are you in need of money?" As Liu Ruyan's secretary, Zhang Qian's salary wasn't too shabby. Why would she sell her car? Liu Ruyan asked with a puzzled face.

Zhang Qian shook her head helplessly, "Don't mention it... Ah, it's all my ex-husband's doing..."

Since it was her personal matter, Liu Ruyan didn't inquire further and opened the car door for Zhang Qian, "Well, it's so late, get in. Xu Hao can take you home later."

Zhang Qian hurriedly waved her hand, "No need! President Liu, I can just take a cab home. Besides, my home isn't on the way to yours!"

The Liu Family Villa was to the west of the company, but Zhang Qian's residence was even further in the direction of the suburban area.

Xu Hao had a rather favorable impression of Zhang Qian. After all, when so many people were against Liu Ruyan, Zhang Qian always stood by her side.

Xu Hao rolled down the car window and said to Zhang Qian, "Secretary Zhang, no need to be polite. I'm free anyway; after dropping Ruyan off at home, it's no trouble to take you as well."

Both Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan insisted on inviting her, so Zhang Qian felt it would be rude to refuse. "Then... Thank you, President Liu, thank you, Mr. Xu!" The most up-to-date version is on *.

Xu Hao drove to drop Liu Ruyan off at her home and continued towards Zhang Qian's residence.

Zhang Qian's residence was in a private courtyard in the West Suburb, a quadrangle shared by three families.

Xu Hao's Aston Martin stopped in front of the courtyard gate. Zhang Qian opened the car door, ready to get out, but then saw the lights in her room turn on and hesitated to say to Xu Hao, "Mr. Xu... my son... I have a favor to ask of you, may I?"

As she spoke, Zhang Qian's eyes flickered, seemingly hiding some difficulties.

"What is it?"

Zhang Qian's glance swept towards the room, "Mr. Xu, could you... accompany me inside? I'm a bit scared to go alone!"

Invite me into the room?

A man and a woman, alone!

Xu Hao gave Zhang Qian an up and down look, a white blouse on top and a black tight skirt below. Slender and alluring, she had a different kind of temptation for men.

Zhang Qian inviting him into her room late at night, what did this mean?

Seeing Xu Hao's odd look, Zhang Qian quickly waved her hands, "Mr. Xu, don't misunderstand, I mean nothing else... it's just my ex-husband might be at my house to ask for money again, and I'm afraid he'll hit me!"

Xu Hao was already somewhat aware of Zhang Qian's situation.

Zhang Qian had divorced her gambler of an ex-husband years ago, but he still came to her for money every now and then.

Considering Zhang Qian's earlier statement about selling her car, Xu Hao frowned and said, "Secretary Zhang, did you sell your car just to give money to your ex-husband?"

Zhang Qian nodded helplessly, "Yes, that bastard must have lost money again. This is the fourth time this month he has come for money. If I don't give it to him, he'll hit me."

As Zhang Qian was still speaking, Xu Hao locked the car door and patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go, show me this scum!"
