Due to concerns about Ota Shun's actions, Hao Jian decided to postpone his plans to return home immediately, staying in East Ocean for three more days. During this time, people sent by Spice Ginger also arrived. After assessing their capabilities, Hao Jian felt reassured that with this team present, Ota Shun and his associates wouldn't be able to pull any tricks. Hao Jian also asked Shu Ya, learning that it would be half a month before her return. The main reason was that she discovered numerous problems while investigating corporate issues. There were false accounts and tax evasion; if these issues weren't resolved, it would be difficult for the company to operate in East Ocean, potentially affecting the headquarters back home. In response, Hao Jian remained silent; since Spice Ginger's people had arrived, he could leave with peace of mind. Hearing that Shu Ya would return in half a month, he simply chatted with her for a while before boarding a plane to leave East Ocean. "President Shu, Chairman Hao has boarded the plane." In the office, Kuo Tianzheng stood respectfully in front of Shu Ya, who was buried in a mountain of documents, constantly flipping through them. Now, hearing Kuo Tianzheng's voice, Shu Ya nodded slightly: "That's good, that guy really doesn't make sense; there are so many things to do back home, yet he insists on delaying his return." Rubbing her forehead, Shu Ya looked at these documents until her head was on the verge of exploding. If it weren't for the belief in opening a branch in East Ocean driving her, she would have followed Hao Jian and left with him long ago. "Chairman Hao is also concerned that something might happen to you..." Kuo Tianzheng was unsure of what to say, only managing an awkward laugh. Not long ago, he was scolded by Hao Jian for the company's numerous problems, which troubled him. Originally intending to make a good impression in front of Hao Jian, he had brought along subordinates, only to have them all give him the runaround. Even clandestine activities like falsifying accounts were happening behind his back, making him want to reprimand the few employees who had already been fired. Shu Ya Group paid them at least two hundred thousand a year, was that not enough? Their income had long exceeded the average level in Huaxia; so much money, yet they continued falsifying accounts?! What relieved Kuo Tianzheng, however, was that neither Hao Jian nor Shu Ya seemed to blame him for the issue, nor did they intend to fire him. Instead, they stayed to help him sort out the entire company's matters. Now seeing Shu Ya working overtime daily, he felt helpless as he couldn't be of assistance, ultimately deciding to replay this favor in his heart and then striving to improve the company. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵 Only by successfully opening the branch could the market in East Ocean be unlocked, leading Shu Ya Group to begin making profits... Moreover, the company currently has so many partners; if one doesn't work, then try two, if two don't work, then ten; they will eventually produce the products or materials they want. With this as the foundation, is there any fear the company won't take off? Of course, that's a matter for later. Hao Jian flew for quite some time before landing; stepping off the plane, he immediately exited Hua City Airport, quickly getting into a car sent by Spice Ginger. Led by the driver, he swiftly arrived at Spice Ginger's building. "So urgent, what's going on that you need me here?" Upon entering Spice Ginger's office, Hao Jian asked, and Spice Ginger, having already received the news of Hao Jian's arrival, promptly rose from the desk, walking over to him with a slightly distressed expression: "Young Master Hao, since your departure, the situation in Hua City has been quite unstable. For unknown reasons, Lin Corporation suddenly cut off the interest and dividends that should have been delivered to us!" Upon hearing this, Hao Jian's eyes slightly narrowed; Lin Corporation is Lin Qingxue's family enterprise, which rapidly reached a hundred billion assets with his assistance. Although neither Hao Jian nor Spice Ginger paid much attention to collecting the dividends and interest from this hundred-billion-asset company, leaving it to the financial department to handle the accounts, the sudden cutoff was unexpected?! "Have you investigated the reason?" Hao Jian asked. Spice Ginger paused, appearing troubled before shaking his head: "No one has been sent to investigate..." "Because it's your wife's family's company, I dare not investigate without your consent. I can only proceed with your approval..." Considering Lin Corporation is Lin Qingxue's family company, and Lin Qingxue is Hao Jian's woman, if Spice Ginger unilaterally investigated Lin Qingxue's family company, what would Hao Jian think? Even if Hao Jian thought nothing of it, Spice Ginger couldn't proceed; he respected Hao Jian, and naturally respected everything related to him, maintaining this principle unwaveringly. There are many stronger people in the world, but why did Hao Jian choose Spice Ginger to manage Hua City? It wasn't due to his capabilities, but because of his loyalty. Back then, Spice Ginger approached the opportunity with a trial mindset, though the facts proved his decision was right; now, in Hua City, apart from the elusive Hao Jian, Spice Ginger holds the greatest authority. Hao Jian waved his hand, not blaming Spice Ginger, and addressing him slowly, said: "I don't care what method you use, just thoroughly investigate the Lin Corporation issue. I want no mishaps regarding my wife." Spice Ginger hesitated for a moment, then heavily nodded, his eyes flashing with recognition of Hao Jian's anger. Seeing Spice Ginger about to leave, Hao Jian stopped him, saying, "In the future, when you encounter such matters, you just investigate for me. The only person I care about is my woman; as for her family and others, without understanding, I won't blindly care. You just need to investigate for me!" "I think, with my words, it might be easier for you to do it?" Hao Jian smiled and patted Spice Ginger's shoulder. In this world, he has many subordinates, but few respect and trust him as much as Spice Ginger does. Even in the power he currently holds, there are quite a few people who don't think much of him as the Overlord of Hua City. If they weren't weaker, they might have challenged him long ago. Of course, these people don't stand a chance. After all, once they show any trend against Hao Jian, they might not be seen the next day. One could say that within the whole power, everyone is under Spice Ginger's surveillance. Those not monitored are either Spice Ginger's proud subordinates or those Hao Jian explicitly trusts. "That settles this matter. I'll wait for your news at home..." Seeing there's nothing more, Hao Jian also wanted to go home and take a look. He patted Spice Ginger's shoulder again and laughed, "I hope you can give me some good news..." "By the way, don't bother sending me back. I can walk home myself; it's a bit of exercise." Spice Ginger was about to call someone to send Hao Jian home but stopped under Hao Jian's wave of a hand, a helpless smile curving at his mouth as he watched Hao Jian's retreating figure, smiling bitterly: "Life is really so damn unpredictable! Even though we've treated you so well and wanted to help, why betray Young Master Hao?" Quickly, Spice Ginger sent people to investigate. With Hao Jian's promise beforehand, this time he investigated without any scruples. Should anything happen, Hao Jian would be there to take the fall; he could just go ahead and do it. "I hope not to be disappointed." Exiting the building, he looked up at the azure sky, squinted slightly, clenched his hand, then stepped toward the main road. ........................ A slightly weary figure wandered the bustling streets. Many passersby stopped involuntarily, glanced back, but then couldn't help shaking their heads. "Why does such a young girl have this heart-wrenching vibe about her? What a pity..." Passing pedestrians couldn't help but have this thought arise, then shake their heads and sigh; must be another woman hurt by love. "Why did you do this? Why... after that woman came, you all changed..." Listening to the familiar voice, pleasant yet tinged with subtle sorrow and sadness, filling the air; upon closer look, it was Lin Qingxue! In a daze, Lin Qingxue stumbled, her once bright eyes now bloodshot, glistening with tears, making one feeling pity at first glance. Unconsciously, she stepped onto the road while the pedestrian crossing was still displaying a red light, as various vehicles sped by on the road. The surrounding pedestrians, upon seeing the woman run onto the road, changed their expressions and hurriedly shouted, but Lin Qingxue seemed to have blocked out her ears, ignoring the external sounds entirely. At this moment, a large truck suddenly burst from the adjoining street, and the previously calm driver suddenly saw someone running onto the road, his face turning pale as he instinctively slammed the brakes. But the truck was heavily loaded, and having accelerated out of the street, inertia pushed it forward... "Get out of the way! Hurry up!" The driver's angry shout rang out, but in this situation, Lin Qingxue paid no attention or perhaps she hadn't noticed... The vehicle was merely three meters away from Lin Qingxue now, at this distance, it would close in the blink of an eye! Just as the truck was about to hit Lin Qingxue, a dark shadow suddenly sped from afar, turning into a black line like a whirlwind, sweeping Lin Qingxue up and flashing to a nearby street...
