Cheng Ge's change is understandable, because Sixth Master has always only treated him as a henchman and has never truly regarded him as his adopted son.
It is said that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. For an orphan like Cheng Ge, what he longs for most is family affection.
When Sixth Master adopted him, he gave him hope of receiving family affection, but in the end, Sixth Master did not truly fulfill that hope.
Of course, one could also say that Cheng was too greedy; he was not satisfied with either family ties or money.
After learning about these things, Hu Yuan decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Anyway, Sixth Master isn't messing things up for me anymore, so there's no need for me to cause trouble for myself.
Furthermore, the biggest problem for Hu Yuan right now is the acceptance of the Xiaotun Street project.
Director Xiao spoke in a high-sounding manner, but Hu Yuan knew very well that she was deliberately targeting him.
Therefore, Hu Yuan also had someone investigate her background.
Several days have passed, but there is still no news. No matter who Hu Yuan asks for help, they cannot find any important information.
This woman seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
The only thing I know is that her hometown seems to be Guanghai City, and she graduated from Nankai University. She had been working in a private company in Guanghai City before coming here not long ago.
Hu Yuan did offend a lot of people in Guanghai City, and even almost lost his life there, but none of them were surnamed Xiao, were they?
Moreover, it seems that Hu Yuan never had any contact with anyone surnamed Xiao when he was in Guanghai City.
Since he couldn't find out anything about the woman himself, Hu Yuan had no choice but to continue asking others for help.
Hu Yuan knew several important figures in Guanghai City.
As long as they're willing to help, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Mr. Hu, there's a young lady outside who wants to see you."
The person who came in to give the report was Hu Yuan's newly hired secretary, who was quite meticulous in her work.
"Didn't you state your purpose or your name?"
Hu Yuan knew that, given the new secretary's work style, it was unlikely that he would come in and report to him without asking any questions, so there must be something fishy about this.
"This young lady is stylishly dressed and speaks eloquently. She declined to give her name and said that you would definitely hire her at a high salary."
The secretary said earnestly.
In other words, this woman came to apply for a job.
Since that's the case, Hu Yuan naturally wants to meet him; perhaps he really is some rare talent.
When the woman came in, she did indeed make Hu Yuan's eyes light up.
Nowadays, it's not unusual to see people dressed like this in coastal cities, but in inland areas, it's quite eye-catching.
In addition, she had curly hair dyed blonde, and her makeup skills far surpassed those of the local socialites.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have studied abroad and returned, right?"
Hu Yuan said with a smile.
"With Mr. Hu's intelligence, he certainly wouldn't be wrong."
The woman also smiled sweetly.
"England?"
"Yes."
"Then why did you say that I would definitely hire you with a high salary?"
The conversation between the two was very simple, with no need for beating around the bush.
"It's very simple. It's the same as I said before: because President Hu is a smart man."
"Just knowing how to flatter isn't enough."
Hu Yuan shrugged and said helplessly.
"After I returned to China, I carefully studied the information of all the owners of large and medium-sized enterprises in the country, and even some owners of small enterprises. I admire Mr. Hu's deeds the most."
The woman finally got down to business.
"What do you mean? You've reviewed the data of thousands or tens of thousands of people?"
Hu Yuan countered with a question.
"Yes, although I can't remember everything I see, I can read very quickly."
"From what source did you obtain this information?"
This is what Hu Yuan is most concerned about, because the internet is not yet well-developed, and she couldn't have obtained this information through the internet.
“Every place has a person who is particularly well-informed. I have traveled all over the country and met the know-it-alls in every place.”
The woman answered with great confidence.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't you also be able to learn about the latest projects and decisions of many large companies in real time?"
Information is always the primary condition in business warfare. If this woman is really that capable, Hu Yuan wouldn't mind hiring her at a high salary. Besides, Hu Yuan currently has a problem in front of him that requires her advantage to solve.
"That's the first reason why I said you would definitely offer me a high salary."
The woman did not appear smug; instead, she remained unusually calm.
"Okay, then tell me what you know about me."
Hu Yuan wanted to give it a try. Since she was really that capable, she must also have a very thorough understanding of him, her future boss.
"Mr. Hu started from scratch. He used to run a small cannery in his hometown, which did well. After making money, he started making flip phones, semi-smartphones, developing commercial streets, new canneries, orchards, land, and other businesses."
"Over the past year, Mr. Hu has opened three companies, all of which are currently profitable, and he has made a fortune. However, the investment in many projects is also considerable. Therefore, based on my speculation, Mr. Hu does not have sufficient working capital at present, and the Xiaotun Street project is nearing completion."
“The leaders came to inspect the project a few days ago, but it didn’t pass. So, the most urgent problem for Mr. Hu is this. I suspect that the problem with the Xiaotun Street project’s acceptance is definitely not due to quality issues, but rather that someone is obstructing it. Mr. Hu’s expression changed after he heard that I know all the local experts, which means that you really need my help right now.”
The woman rattled off a long list of things, some of which were common knowledge, others that anyone with a keen eye could easily find out, but still others that very few people would know.
In particular, his guesses about his own inner thoughts were incredibly accurate.
"I don't even know your name yet."
Hu Yuan then realized that she hadn't introduced herself at all from the beginning until now, and Hu Yuan hadn't asked her about it out of curiosity.
The most important thing is that Hu Yuan's inner thoughts have now been seen through, which is somewhat embarrassing, and he really needs to change the subject.
"Hailan Mingxue"
Hu Yuan nodded subconsciously, but then seemed to feel that something was off about the name.
"You were able to study in England, so your family must be well-off, maybe even a prominent one. And with your outstanding abilities, you're more than capable of building a great career on your own. Why would you apply for a job here? Besides, you just said that you've researched all the big bosses, which means you've never thought about starting your own business?"
