Urban God-level Youth

Inside the study on the second floor.

Xu Jiekang sat on the chair and said, "Xiao Hao, please sit."

Qin Hao sat opposite him, his gaze curious as he looked at him, "Mr. Xu, what's the matter that's so secretive?"

Xu Jiekang, "It's about Xiao Yao's matter."

Qin Hao's heart "clenched" suddenly, a bad premonition arising.

Xu Jiekang continued, "I can tell that Xiao Yao really likes you, so I took the initiative today to talk about you two.

You are very outstanding. I don't know what you think of Si Yao."

Qin Hao, "Si Yao is a good girl, but I already have a girlfriend."

Xu Jiekang, "I know about that. You think about it carefully, after all, this is a major lifelong matter."

Qin Hao frowned slightly. Although Xu Jiekang did not state it directly, he had already conveyed his intentions.

He wanted Qin Hao to break up with Du Wanrou and then be together with Xu Siyao.

"Mr. Xu, I will consider it. I have some other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." After saying this, he walked out of Xu Jiekang's study.

Descending the stairs, Yang Su and another person looked at him. Qin Hao forced a small smile, "Ms. Yang, Si Yao, I'm heading back first."

Xu Siyao stood up to see him off, "Hmm, take care on the road."

"Head back." Qin Hao drove away.

Xu Siyao returned inside the villa, and at that moment, Xu Jiekang also came downstairs.

"Dad, what did you say to Qin Hao?" Xu Siyao asked, frowning.

She could sense that Qin Hao seemed a bit angry when he left.

Xu Jiekang looked at his daughter with a doting gaze, "What can I say, of course it was about the two of you."

Xu Siyao pressed further, "Then what did you say exactly?"

Xu Jiekang, "I asked Xiao Hao to think it over."

Xu Siyao grew angry, "Isn't that just using your power to pressure him? Asking him to think it over is just trying to force him to leave his girlfriend, right? How can you do this?"

Yang Su quickly intervened, "Si Yao, your dad is just looking out for your best interest."

Xu Siyao, "Dad, I don't care about what you all do, and I hope you won't meddle in my affairs either." With that, she turned around and left the villa. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Yang Su attempted to stop her but failed.

She looked at Xu Jiekang, who sighed, "Perhaps I was too anxious. Xiao Hao's temperament seems nice, but he doesn't respond well to pressure. The more we push him, the more it backfires."

Yang Su thoughtfully said, "He probably hasn't realized the extent of the Xu Family's influence. If he can't even secure the qualifications to build his factory, he will surely submit obediently."

Xu Jiekang shook his head, "Don't talk like that anymore; you don't understand him."

...

On the drive back, Qin Hao's brain was spinning rapidly.

The Xu Family was now his only backer, and many matters in the future would still rely on the Xu Family. He absolutely could not afford to burn bridges now.

But if the Xu family pushed further, what should he do?

Without the Xu Family, his new company probably couldn't even be built.

This was something he had been preparing for a long time and had put a lot of effort and money into.

To build this high-tech company, he had exhausted all his past relationships and even owed a lot.

People like the Xu Family, Li Moying, he kept all these favors in mind.

Within moments, Qin Hao had made up his mind; he would never give up Du Wanrou due to external pressures.

If he couldn't even protect his own lover, what would the use be of a vast business empire?

If the Xu Family really did pull their investments, he could just wait a few more years—that was all. Once Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine took off, he wouldn't lack funds anymore.

As he finished his contemplation, he received a call from Chang Jing.

Chang Jing, "Mr. Qin, where are you? Shouldn't we discuss the issue of my position?"

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "Miss Chang, I want you to serve as the vice president of the company, with an initial probation period of one month.

As for the salary, that will still need to be decided by the board at that time."

He wanted to assess Chang Jing's abilities; although her intelligence was quite high, Qin Hao was unsure of her practical skills.

Chang Jing replied with a smile, "Vice president? Mr. Qin, you really trust me, don't you?"

Qin Hao, "The new company will be called Xinghai High-tech Co., Ltd.

All the company registration processes and a few other matters will be handed over to you, Mr. Chang, as Vice President. As for the plant location, it will be on the vacant land next to Xinggang International Industrial Park—discuss the cost with the government."

...

Chang Jing was somewhat speechless, "Mr. Qin, are you planning to be hands-off from the start? Others provide the funds and manage the company, and you just reap the benefits?"

Qin Hao replied with a faint smile, "No choice, who else holds the core technology but me? Mr. Chang, you will have to work hard these days."

After hanging up, Chang Jing's face carried a trace of a smile.

Chang Anding, seeing this, asked in confusion, "Xiao Jing, why would you take up a vice presidency there? It doesn't seem to have much of a future."

Chang Jing, "Dad, why would you think that?"

Chang Anding, frustrated, said, "How do you expect me to think? To ask abruptly for 2.5 billion, he truly has the nerve to ask for such a big amount.

If it weren't for Xu Jiekang broaching it, I wouldn't put forth this money. But, having done so, at least the Chang Family no longer owes him any favors."

Chang Jing calmly said, "Dad, do you think he was just spouting nonsense this morning?"

Chang Anding, "Otherwise? You think he can actually create intelligent chips and AI robots?

Those engaged in this research are either huge corporations or government enterprises funded by the nation, all possessing top-tier talent.

Do you believe that a nineteen-year-old can create intelligent chips? I think he just wants to earn what's needed to treat you."

Chang Jing shook her head; she did not agree with her father's view, "Dad, I believe his words."

Chang Anding, puzzled, "You believe? Why?"

Chang Jing, "Instinct! Dad, I've already decided to take a position at his company, and I won't be coming back with you."

Chang Anding hesitated. Although his daughter was blind from an early age, she exhibited astounding capabilities in certain aspects.

Some have photographic memories, she has an audio-graphic memory!

When Chang Jing was young, her mother used to read articles to her daily.

Latter on, Chang Jing told her mother there was no need for a second reading; she had already memorized them.

Whether it was a few hundred words of prose or short stories spanning tens of thousands of words, she could remember them after just one hearing.

Later, this extended to textbooks on business management, economics, finance, sociology, and so forth.

As a father, he was fully aware of just how formidable his daughter was.

In corporate management and operations, Chang Jing also exhibited an extraordinary talent.

The current market value of Hongya Heavy Industry, which amounted to hundreds of billions, could not have been achieved without Chang Jing's strategic planning behind the scenes.

Although she could not see, having listened to the descriptions from her father and mother, she could visualize a picture in her mind.

She then offered the best solutions.

So, upon hearing his daughter's declaration, he did not object, as he knew it would be futile.

His daughter always had her own opinions, and apart from the elderly grandfather occasionally being able to persuade her, no one else could.
