Urban God-level Youth

Ms. Yang also spoke up, "Yeah, Xiao Hao, why don't you just stay over tonight?"

Xu Siyao looked at him with tearful eyes, truly hoping he would stay.

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment before replying, "Then I'll impose on Mr. Xu and Ms. Yang."

Xu Siyao's tears turned to smiles, and Ms. Yang smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all, we have spare rooms in the house."

"I'll go tidy up a room for you, you chat with my dad," Xu Siyao said and then dashed upstairs like a shooting star.

"Take it easy, why run so fast?" Xu Jiekang watched his daughter's figure disappearing and said with a helpless wry smile.

Qin Hao sat back down on the sofa, then talked with Xu Jiekang about some matters concerning pharmaceuticals.

Now, every once in a while, the academicians at the Xuan Science Academy's medical department would develop a new drug. Yuan Kang's pharmaceutical plant was very busy, with the factory running almost twenty-four hours non-stop.

The price of drugs was dropping every day, and ordinary people were genuinely feeling the benefits of affordable medicine.

The two of them moved on from talking about drugs to the market economy. The issues of expensive medical care and education were almost resolved, and people now had more disposable income than before. They could buy what they wanted to buy and eat what they wanted to eat.

This was conducive to the growth of the entire market economy, and Xu Jiekang estimated that Xuan Country's market would be even more prosperous next year.

Moreover, deepening reforms and opening up would also greatly enhance the prosperity of Xuan Country's market. He feared that next year would be another year of explosive economic growth.

Around nine o'clock, Ms. Yang and Xu Jiekang went back to their bedroom to rest. They stayed in the master bedroom on the first floor.

Xu Siyao took Qin Hao upstairs. She led him into her own bedroom, which was decorated in a delicate pink and filled with a faint, clean fragrance.

"Why don't you take a shower?" Xu Siyao said to him, her face flushed.

The bedroom had an en suite bathroom and shower. Looking at her, Qin Hao said with a smile, "Together?"

...

The next morning, after having breakfast at Xu Siyao's house, Qin Hao left. Xu Jiekang also had many things to deal with at the company, so after breakfast, he left as well, asking Xu Siyao to help look after Ms. Yang at home.

After all, Ms. Yang was pregnant, and it wouldn't be convenient for her if something happened while she was alone at home.

Qin Hao drove straight to Jinxiu Hotel in the morning. By the time he arrived at Jinxiu Hotel, it was already past eight-thirty. The annual corporate event was scheduled to start at nine.

Kang Youyi and others had already arrived the day before and were arranged to stay inside the hotel.

Taking the elevator to the exhibition hall on the sixteenth floor, the place was buzzing with people; most had already arrived.

Feng Xiangyi was still arranging for people to tidy up the venue. In the middle was a large stage adorned with all sorts of prizes, ranging from small items like detergent and mobile phones to larger ones like refrigerators and air conditioners. There was even a brand-new Audi sedan worth just under five hundred thousand at the back.

Qin Hao entered with Leng Xuan and others. Instantly, someone spotted him: "Mr. Qin has arrived."

"Mr. Qin has arrived." The news spread quickly throughout the entire hall.

Kang Youyi, Tian Yamei, Meng Zhicheng, and other former employees of Jiangshan gathered around: "Hello, Mr. Qin!"

Qin Hao smiled and nodded his head, "When did everyone arrive?"

"We arrived yesterday afternoon," Kang Youyi replied.

Qin Hao looked at them, recognizing many familiar faces among them: Tian Yamei, Yu Jie, Yuan Qing, Liu Man, and there was one person he was somewhat surprised to see.

Sun Wan looked at Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, do you remember me?"

Qin Hao said with a smile, "Of course, I remember. How do you find it, Mr. Sun, as the regional manager of Shuinan Province now?"

Kang Youyi added, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Sun is very capable in business, and the stores she manages always rank at the top in sales. She's now the regional manager of the entire Shuinan Province."

Qin Hao said, "Excellent. The development of Jiangshan Delicatessen to this day would not be possible without everyone's hard work."

At that moment, An Linxuan of Xinghui Employment also came over with some people, "Mr. Qin."

While Qin Hao conversed with them, he moved further inside. Soon after, Zhao Dongqiang of Huafei Clothing, Su Mingzhi of Huamei Cosmetics Company, and others came over as well.

The venue was divided into several sections, each company having its own area.

Qin Hao also saw Yu Tiantian; she was sitting at a table signing autographs and taking photos with people.

After talking with them, Qin Hao walked over to Yu Tiantian's place: "Everyone, don't tire out your Tiantian too much, or she won't have the energy to sing on stage later."

"Mr. Qin," Yu Tiantian said smilingly to him.

After signing a few more autographs, and with her boss's intervention, the crowd did not press her for more.

As it approached nine o'clock, the stage was finally set up, and everyone took their seats in their respective areas.

Qin Hao's seat was at the front, next to Kang Youyi, Zhao Dongqiang, Su Mingzhi, and others.

At nine o'clock, the Jiangshan Group Office annual corporate event officially began. The first to take the stage was Yu Tiantian, who came out from backstage and sang two songs.

After the songs were finished, Yu Tiantian came down and sat next to Qin Hao; it was the seat Feng Xiangyi had arranged for her.

Feng Xiangyi then went on stage to speak. She was now the vice president of Jiangshan Group, not just the vice president of Jiangshan Cooked Food Company.

Currently, Jiangshan Group had several vice presidents: Kang Youyi, Feng Xiangyi, Zhao Dongqiang, Su Mingzhi, An Linxuan, and many of them were in name only. Feng Xiangyi and Nie Si from the Jiangshan Group Office were the ones with real power.

Feng Xiangyi said, "Today is the very first annual corporate event hosted by Jiangshan Group. This year, we've weathered many difficulties together.

Jiangshan Group has grown stronger and stronger, from an initial valuation of a dozen or twenty billion to a current valuation of over one hundred and eighty billion.

Our company's development can be said to have set a record in the industry. We still have great potential for further growth and will become even stronger in the future."

The valuation Feng Xiangyi mentioned was in Xuan Country Coins. If converted to Federation currency, Jiangshan Group now also had a valuation of over twenty billion Federation coins, roughly equivalent to over one hundred billion, nearly two hundred billion in Xuan Country Coins.

She briefly discussed the development of the company over the past few months, and a projector behind the stage displayed various data.

After Feng Xiangyi finished speaking, the leaders of the various companies took turns speaking about the scale of development of their companies.

Once everyone had finished speaking, it was Qin Hao's turn. He stood up, walked to the stage, took the microphone and looked at the crowd below.

With a smile, he said, "Actually, I don't think there's much to say. The group's current development couldn't have been achieved without everyone's hard work. I hope everyone will continue to strive and create even more splendid achievements.

Everyone is following me, essentially to earn money and support their families. Here, I can assure everyone: as long as the company continues to develop steadily, everyone's salaries will keep getting higher and higher in the future!"
