Ignoring Ruan An, Hao Jian walked up to the women, smiled, and looked at the guard at the gate, saying with a grin, "Mister, it's so late, please make an exception. You see, I've even helped you solve a little trouble." Upon hearing this, the guard was about to refuse but hesitated for a moment. He had always had a bit of disdain for Ruan An, this second-generation rich kid, since Ruan An had often looked down upon him while he worked as a gate guard. He couldn't do anything about it because Ruan An had connections with the school principal, who had warned him not to interfere. Now seeing Hao Jian not only gave Ruan An a beating but also made him behave, the guard could only nod in agreement. "Hao Jian, how did you take in Ban Dongyi?" Lin Qingxue was curious when she saw Hao Jian coming over. "Nothing much, just thought he looked pleasing to the eye." Hao Jian shook his head with a smile, "Don't think I'm showing sympathy; I decided to invest in him because I saw potential, otherwise, I wouldn't bother." Lin Qingxue nodded as she listened. Indeed, given Hao Jian's keen insight into people, he never misjudges. If he decided to take Ban Dongyi under his wing, there must be a reason. "But this achievement might make someone quite upset, don't you think?" With a sarcastic smile, Hao Jian glanced at Gu Min in the distance, but his expression changed to surprise suddenly. Because at this moment, Gu Min was being pushed to the ground by Ruan An, who was crazily hitting her body, her screams filled the air. "Self-inflicted, no way to live." Molan sneered. She had long been displeased with this woman, Gu Min. Seeing her being beaten by her own man now gave her a rush of pleasure; this seemed like the perfect way to deal with this woman. "Enough, let's go. Since Ban Dongyi didn't say anything, we're just audience members." Hao Jian smiled, gesturing for the women not to look, and pointed at his watch with a smile, "It's already midnight, don't you want to go back to the dorm?" The women laughed gracefully at Hao Jian's words, bid him farewell, and entered the school. Watching them drive away, Hao Jian casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to the guard with a smile, "Thanks for making an exception. These cigarettes aren't worth much, but consider them a thank you."........ Catching the cigarettes thrown by Hao Jian, the guard shook his head reluctantly, gave a nod, and returned to his position. As for Hao Jian, he glanced at Ruan An, who was still hitting his female companion, without saying anything. This was the school gate; the guy wouldn't stay long, he would leave once he vented enough. Moreover, with the guard there, he wouldn't let the situation get out of hand. So, feeling unworried, Hao Jian drove his Enzo car, speeding through various streets in the city, making his way back home. Only after seeing Hao Jian leave did Ruan An's hands slowly halt. Meanwhile, Gu Min on the ground was already gasping for breath, her body covered with injuries. Looking at Gu Min, Ruan An snorted disdainfully. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have run into Hao Jian or had such an embarrassing encounter. He knew his father almost took everything from him earlier. But it was all due to Hao Jian's appearance, something Ruan An hadn't anticipated. Who would have thought he'd encounter the Overlord of Hua City? Conflicts with him were bound to leave him open to criticism from relatives. Because he had antagonized Hao Jian, the Overlord of Hua City, no one, whether from Huaxia or any other power in Hua City, wished to make an enemy of Hao Jian. But once you became an enemy, those powers dominating Huaxia for a long time might not fear, but as long as you survived in Hua City, you'd have to adhere to the local laws, especially those concerning Hao Jian. ................................................... "Hao Jian, tomorrow morning's flight at ten; we need to go to East Ocean for an event, a top-notch gala there. Various elites will be attending, and I've received six invitations." Just as Hao Jian reached home, he got a call from Shu Ya, making him smile wryly, having no choice but to agree, "Guess I'll see you at the airport tomorrow morning." "Aren't you planning to find out more?" Hearing Hao Jian agree so quickly, Shu Ya was slightly surprised. "Even if I don't ask, you'll tell me tomorrow. But I dealt with a bothersome matter today, just got home. Let's talk tomorrow." Hao Jian shook his head slightly, sounding a bit helpless. Upon hearing this, Shu Ya's face showed a strange smile. She knew that tonight, a new general manager appeared without warning, arranged by Hao Jian. No one in the company dared to question his arrangements. Following Hao Jian's requirements, Shu Ya directly assigned the current general manager to the new market's development. The manager, worn out from staying at headquarters, eagerly packed up and flew to the assigned branch the same night. He had long wished to venture out independently with a team, but headquarters never responded, much to his frustration. Finally, with Hao Jian's orders, he was so excited he nearly sought out Hao Jian. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽 "You've created a general manager for me today. Are you sure this person can handle it? You know as well as I do, the general manager's role is tough if the person isn't familiar with the business; the pressure is immense. Especially in our Group, where the pressure is even greater. Are you sure he can handle it?" In response, Hao Jian smiled and said, "Rest assured, I can tell you this person's character is decent, and I've assessed his capabilities; he's completely fit for the role. Before officially starting, he'll undergo a month-long adaptation phase. During that month, find a temporary substitute for the general manager position, it's a crucial role after all." "Already thought of it." Upon hearing Hao Jian's words, Shu Ya rolled her eyes from the other end of the phone, "Since you said there's no problem, then I have no problem. As for others, no need to worry either, I know those folks wouldn't dare disobey your orders." "But some minor antics are inevitable." "Understood." Hao Jian nodded, "Since I see potential in him and offered him a job, whether he can succeed depends on his capabilities. If he can't manage, that means my judgment was poor. But judging by his demeanor, I trust in his abilities." In every company, there's competition to some degree, especially intense between newcomers and veterans, but as long as it's healthy rivalry, most won't interfere. Hao Jian follows the same principle; you can compete, but no underhanded tactics are allowed. Actions must be straightforward and not compromise the company's interests. The outcome will not be just about dismissal if crossed, but handled personally by Hao Jian. Given his influence, none under him dared to oppose him openly, all keeping a low profile to avoid public conflict since it benefited no one. As long as Shu Ya Group stays strong and keeps advancing, their salaries and bonuses continue to rise. But if something happened to Shu Ya Group and their bonuses decreased, that was unacceptable. Understanding their nature, Hao Jian distributed some shares among them, not much, but enough to ensure their loyalty. As Ban Dongyi stepped in, at first, there wouldn't be many issues. Others might even assist in his ascent, but once he familiarized himself with the business and assumed the general manager role, they'd begin testing the new manager's capabilities. If he handled it well and contributed positively to the company, they wouldn't chase him away. But if his abilities fell short, apologies were due. They'd move him out despite Hao Jian's wrath, preferring someone who could drive economic benefits. "As long as you're confident." With Hao Jian's assurance, Lin Qingxue said nothing further, instead, she replied with a smile, "Even the old-timers at the company hope for fresh blood; those guys have long wanted to retire with pensions." Upon hearing this, Hao Jian rolled his eyes, "I suspect they don't just want pensions; they want to escape my leadership quickly." He had already figured out these subordinates' thoughts. Being the Overlord of Hua City, they dared not act against him, worried about doing something wrong and losing their jobs, along with their pensions. "Whatever the reason, let's leave it like that." Shu Ya didn't dwell on the topic, chuckling mischievously, "You said the time he'd report in, but I won't be at the company then. He'll be dealing with those old folks." Upon hearing this, Hao Jian chuckled wryly, "You little brat, playing tricks on people again. But since I recommended him, those folks wouldn't dare make a mess."
