School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Li Dapang led the young man behind him towards the office. The young man looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, standing at about one seventy-five in height. His appearance was rather ordinary, difficult to distinguish in a crowd. Small eyes, flat nose. After entering the store, his eyes darted around, lighting up upon seeing the Apple products.

"Fatty, your store has so many Apple products?" his cousin asked curiously.

"Mm!" Li Dapang nodded, proudly saying, "We are the first Apple authorized store in LJ city. Heh heh, we definitely have the most Apple products. No other stores!"

"Impressive," his cousin said in surprise, looking at Li Dapang. "I didn't expect you could work here and be so familiar with the leaders. That's really amazing; I had not seen it before. This time during the New Year, you definitely shone."

"Heh heh…" Li Dapang smiled smugly.

It had to be said, Li Dapang had indeed had a great year. Visiting relatives, no matter where he went, his father would shout, "My son is making money now."

Many relatives didn't believe it at first, but after seeing Li Dapang buy a luxury motorcycle and acquire large home appliances for his family—fridge, color TV, air conditioning… everyone started to believe him. They treated Li Dapang almost like an official, especially since his relatives were relatively poor. Li Dapang suddenly making money definitely made many people suck up to him.

Li Dapang took his cousin into the office, where Xiao Han and Yang Lu were sitting in their chairs.

As their eyes met, Xiao Han immediately stood up and then smiled, "Big Fatty, you brought your cousin here for an interview?"

The young man glanced curiously at Xiao Han, but when he saw Yang Lu, his eyes sparkled. Yang Lu's beauty quickly attracted him; for a single young man, suddenly encountering such a beautiful girl definitely excited him.

"Mm!" Li Dapang nodded then looked at Yang Lu and said, "Sister Yang, this is the cousin I mentioned to you before. He shares the same surname as you. His name is Yang Zhigang. I've already told you about his situation, so about the interview…"

Yang Lu glanced at him and asked, "You've done sales before, right?"

"Yes, I've worked in real estate sales!" Yang Zhigang hurriedly nodded, his smile beaming with eagerness.

"Well, okay." Yang Lu nodded then said, "Let's complete the hiring process today, and you'll officially start working tomorrow!"

"Okay, thank you Yang… Manager Yang!" Yang Zhigang hurriedly nodded.

The employment application form was simply filled out with some personal information. Then a set of employee uniforms was issued. A photocopy of the ID card was left behind. After signing the internship period contract, the hiring process was quickly completed.

As it was an Apple authorized store, a formal channel, every employee had to sign a labor contract, even those on a probationary period, and comply with relevant laws and tax regulations.

"All set." Yang Lu looked at Yang Zhigang with a smile and said, "Yang Zhigang, on behalf of headquarters, I welcome you to join us."

"Thank you, Manager Yang." Yang Zhigang quickly took Yang Lu's hand, unable to resist giving it a gentle squeeze.

Yang Lu's expression immediately darkened.

Seeing her expression turn stern instantly, Yang Zhigang quickly released her hand and said, "Manager Yang, I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go back to prepare and come to work energized tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Yang Lu nodded.

Yang Lu looked down at her hand, feeling as though she might have had a misunderstanding. Seeing Yang Zhigang's at-ease demeanor, she thought she might have imagined it. Perhaps he squeezed her hand unintentionally, not in an offensive manner. Yang Lu forced a smile.

After Yang Zhigang left, Xiao Han curiously asked, "Sister Yang, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Yang Lu wiped her hand with a wet wipe and then threw it into the trash can.

Li Dapang walked Yang Zhigang to the store's entrance. The two stood at the door to say goodbye.

"Fatty, I want to ask you something." Just as Yang Zhigang was about to leave, he suddenly turned around to look at Li Dapang.

"What is it?" Li Dapang looked at Yang Zhigang, puzzled.

"Your...has your Manager Yang gotten married?" Yang Zhigang asked curiously.

"Uh..." Li Dapang was stunned, then grinned and said, "Sister Yang? No, she's not married, and she doesn't have a boyfriend. But, I'd advise you to save it. You can't chase after her. So, don't mess around. It won't do you any good!"

"Heh heh, the harder to get, the more challenging it is!" Yang Zhigang's smile turned a bit sinister.

Li Dapang couldn't bother with this toad wanting to eat swan meat. He turned and went back inside, heading straight into the office.
Stay connected with empire

In the office, Yang Lu and Xiao Han were waiting for him.

"Is there something you need to discuss?" Li Dapang asked curiously.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded, settling back down into the adjacent chair. He had deliberately stood up when Yang Zhigang came in because he didn't want anyone to suspect anything. Now that Yang Zhigang had left, he naturally sat down again.

The office door closed, and Yang Lu curiously looked at Xiao Han and asked, "Xiao Han, is there something particularly important?"

Xiao Han smiled slightly and then said, "For Hanmen Technology, yes, it's a rather important matter!"

"Then speak up!" Li Dapang quickly sat down.

Yang Lu and Li Dapang both faced Xiao Han as they seated themselves. Unconsciously, Xiao Han had become a leader in their eyes. He glanced at them both and said, "Hanmen Technology has encountered the biggest challenge of its life, but you could also call it an opportunity."

"Get to the point," Li Dapang, who was rather impatient, said.

"Big Fatty, don't rush." Yang Lu spoke up, "Let Xiao Han finish talking."

"Oh." Li Dapang nodded.

Xiao Han smiled and said slowly, "Someone approached me, wanting to acquire forty-nine percent of Hanmen Technology's shares."

"How much?" Yang Lu asked.

"Ten million!" Xiao Han replied.

Hiss…

The three of them gasped. Ten million to acquire less than half of the shares? That was… that was just shocking. All three seemed surprised. Who the hell would be this foolish? Even the entire Hanmen Technology might not be worth ten million, right?

"Who is it?" Li Dapang laughed when he heard it: "The entire Hanmen Technology isn't even worth ten million. How can someone spend so much money on less than half of the shares?"

Yang Lu frowned, thought for a moment, then said, "I get it!"

"Sister Yang, what do you know?" Li Dapang quickly asked.

"The other party isn't acquiring the shares of Hanmen Technology for the sake of the company itself but wants to invest in Xiao Han's abilities and talents this way!" Yang Lu revealed a sly smile and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this person must have already figured out that you are the real boss behind Hanmen Technology, right??"

"That's right!" Xiao Han nodded.

"Then I guessed right." Yang Lu's mouth curved up slightly.

"Sister Yang, your guess is spot on!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "So, I'm really conflicted now, whether to accept or to reject. Ten million isn't a lot but it's not a small amount either. If we take this money, I really want to invest it in the catering industry."

"Catering!!" Yang Lu said, surprised, looking at Xiao Han.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "Food is the most crucial necessity of the people. Catering is an essential industry. Nowadays, family-style farming dining is rising, and I want to get involved while the situation is favorable. Once family dining picks up, we can consider investing in large-scale dining. We'll find a location from the Municipal Government and then build a hotel!"

Yang Lu's expression stayed calm. However, Li Dapang looked extremely shocked, his eyes wide open; he hadn't imagined Xiao Han's goals to be so vast. It was indeed frightening.

"That could work!" Yang Lu nodded.

"Is ten million not a bit too little?" Li Dapang said hastily, "Ten million for almost forty-nine percent of our future earnings. That's not fair to us."

"There was never anything about fairness or unfairness." Yang Lu said with a smile, "You can accept it, or you can reject it. From the investor's perspective, his ten million has arguably more risk. What do you think?"

"That's also true!" Li Dapang nodded, saying, "If I were the investor, I guess I would have the same concerns."

Yang Lu laughed, then said, "See?"

"Don't worry, I will talk to them properly!" Xiao Han's mouth curved slightly upwards.

"Xiao Han, Meida Group has approached me several times!" Yang Lu started speaking, "They really want to acquire Hanmen Technology!"

"Fuck, who cares about them!" Li Dapang burst out angrily when he heard this.

"That's not what I mean." Yang Lu quickly said, "I'm saying we can use Meida Group to apply pressure on the other side. Ten million isn't small, but we definitely won't refuse more. Right? Shares are only valuable if people are willing to invest. If no one invests, they're worthless. We can pit the two against each other.

Only with competition, do we benefit. Just like an auction, as long as people are bidding against each other, the price of the item will increase."

Thump!

Li Dapang slapped his thigh, excitedly saying, "Yes, that's good. Let them fight each other. It only benefits us."

"Hmm!" Xiao Han frowned and then said, "I think that makes sense. Sister Yang, you just reminded me."

"So... what are you going to do?" Xiao Han asked.

"Tomorrow… help me arrange a meeting with the person in charge at Meida!" Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to have a good talk with them. Heh heh…"

"Sure!" Yang Lu immediately nodded.

Xiao Han decided to meet with people from Meida Group to show Liu Si's men. It goes without saying that Xiao Han also understood that Liu Si would definitely be having someone monitor him in secret, keeping tabs on his every move. Otherwise, with his own level of secrecy, Liu Si would never have guessed that he was the real person behind Hanmen Technology.
