Chapter 283 250, my sister-in-law has evolved into a big boss (asking for monthly passes)
"Oh, Qiqi invited me to have dinner at Sister-in-law's place tonight, Boss, are you going?"
Cai Meichen asked after straightening her clothes.
"Qiqi hasn't told me yet, do you want me to go?"
Yang Hao asked with interest.
Cai Meichen knew about her boss's relationship with his grand-niece, Jiang Yuqi.
But little nanny Jiang Yuqi was still unaware of the relationship between her master and her little aunt.
So if the three of them were together, there would definitely be a very subtle atmosphere.
"I was just asking casually."
Cai Meichen shook her head; she didn't actually hope that Yang Hao would go, she just wanted to know if Jiang Yuqi had mentioned it to him.
"Then let's go."
"It's a good opportunity to visit Mrs. Jiang!"
Yang Hao particularly emphasized the words "Mrs. Jiang" with great weight to highlight the difference in seniority between him and Cai Meichen.
After all, Cai Meichen was supposed to call Jiang Shuyun Sister-in-law.
Sure enough, after hearing Yang Hao's words, Cai Meichen was somewhat speechless; she was actually younger than Yang Hao.
But if you counted from Jiang Yuqi's perspective, she was indeed a whole generation senior.
"By that logic, can I start calling you Aunt in the future?"
Yang Hao continued to tease in a good mood.
To be honest, the title "Aunt" did feel quite fitting, especially since his surname was Yang.
If Cai Meichen called him "Hao'er," the atmosphere would instantly peak.
Well, they could cosplay these two roles in the future.
That would definitely feel different.
While Yang Hao was lost in his thoughts, Cai Meichen didn't want to be alone with this BT boss anymore and quickly fled the office.
After Cai Meichen left, Yang Hao didn't stay long in the office either; instead, he went to the social media operation center, having not seen his aunt, Li Manni, for several days.
From both a boss's and brother-in-law's perspective, he felt he should pay her a visit.
However, his timing wasn't great, as Li Manni was in the middle of recording a video in the studio.
The performance of the social media operation center was outstanding; the scale had already expanded several times since its establishment, including building an indoor studio.
Currently, the followers of Jiangcheng Observation were at 2.9 million, and it looked as if they would soon break through three million!
For an account that was only about a month old, this was quite explosive.
As the director of the social media operation center, Li Manni deserved much of the credit. Because she appeared every day on the Jiangcheng Observation account, she had also gained a large following of fans because of her looks.
Li Manni had also registered a personal lifestyle account named Manni Says, which had already reached 1.56 million followers!
Lately, this aunt of his was focused on working hard and building her career, almost single-handedly doubling the market value of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.
Of course, the market value bubble was still large, and unless Yang Hao cashed out immediately and left the scene, it was very likely to fall back down later.
"Hao,"
Yang Hao stood outside the studio, watching his aunt work when Liu Zifeng's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Turning around, Yang Hao asked, "How are you adapting?"
"Very well!"
Liu Zifeng replied with a beaming smile and then put on a sad expression, lamenting, "But it's just too hard to see you."
"I thought that coming to Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, we brothers could see each other often!"
"Turns out, it's not much different than before."
As they spoke, Liu Zifeng had already sidled up to Yang Hao, and he said in a low voice, "Bro, I have to tell you something interesting. A few days ago a beauty added me and offered me money to sleep with her..."
"Then what?"
Yang Hao asked nonchalantly.
He had facilitated this situation after all. He had been at Natasha's apartment to kill time, and then a software engineer from next door had taken an interest in him and asked for his Weixun handle.

Yang Hao had given her Liu Zifeng's Weixun instead. Later, Liu Zifeng had mentioned in Weixun that a beauty had added him but didn't mention the follow-up. Today, it seemed, that follow-up was going to be revealed.
"For a chance to make money, I'd definitely go!"
Liu Zifeng winked suggestively and said, "No joke, that beauty had amazing skills, and well..."
"Cough, cough, it seems like she wasn't very satisfied with me though."
"Did she pay you?"
This was what Yang Hao was really interested in; he wanted to see if his good brother could actually make money off this situation.
"No."
"I'm not really short of that kind of money!"
Liu Zifeng shrugged his shoulders, then bragged, "But I realized I could actually make money from this, which shows that we older men still have a market, right!"
Yang Hao nodded in agreement; he wasn't just on the market, but was in hot demand by various women.
Not to mention far-off cases, take the college junior Chen Ruohan, for example; her Weixun messages were non-stop these past few days, persistent indeed.
After chatting for a while, Li Manni finally finished shooting.
She had actually noticed Yang Hao earlier, and after putting down the sound equipment, Li Manni immediately came out of the studio, smiling and calling out "Brother-in-law."
Yang Hao smiled and nodded, "Have you been working too hard lately?"
"You're like half of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's empire now!"
After Jiangcheng Observation became popular, the value of Jiangcheng Newspaper Group almost doubled, so internally, people joked that Li Manni was holding up half of the group.
Li Manni was a bit embarrassed and blushed slightly, "Brother-in-law, you shouldn't say that!"
Since she started working, Li Manni had been under a lot of pressure, as outsiders believed she had climbed the ladder through her connections.
Even though this was indeed true, she was still eager to prove herself, so she had been working exceptionally hard.
Of course, besides wanting to prove herself, she was also working hard to repay the affection her brother-in-law had shown her, as Jiangcheng Newspaper Group was Yang Hao's business.
"Hao, you guys talk, I'll head out first."
Liu Zifeng tactfully excused himself. As he left, he winked at Yang Hao, with a look that said look how considerate your brother is.
Yang Hao then went with Li Manni to her office.
"Manni, don't work too hard, make sure you get some rest."
Yang Hao saw that his little aunt was somewhat haggard and said to her caringly.
"Okay, okay."
Li Manni nodded obediently, poured a cup of tea for Yang Hao, and asked, "Brother-in-law, do you have time this weekend?"
"Xixi mentioned a couple of days ago that she wanted us to take her to the amusement park."
"Alright."
"It's been a while since I took the little girl out for fun."
Yang Hao readily agreed, and then the two of them chatted over tea about recent work and life.
When he was with his younger aunt, Yang Hao would let down all his guards, completely relax, and really considered the younger aunt, whom he had watched grow up, as family.
However, the System seemed to not allow their relationship to remain simply as kinship.
Ding!
Detected that Li Manni has evolved into a big boss, defeat her for rich rewards!
The System's voice resounded unexpectedly in Yang Hao's mind.
And it was just one prompt with no follow-up.
Uh?
What the hell is this situation??
Yang Hao was astonished and looked at his younger aunt sitting across from him.
Did I hear it wrong?
My aunt is a big boss??
Before, when buffs and wild monsters appeared, Yang Hao wondered if there would be big bosses in the future!
But shouldn't the System, with its nature, first establish a close relationship before revealing whether she's an NPC or a buff?
Why is it still giving prompts then!
Is this a pre-warning of the big boss's arrival?
Yang Hao's mind was filled with question marks.
Seeing Brother-in-law's gaze suddenly "heat up," Li Manni felt a little flustered, especially since the area he was looking at happened to be her chest.
Li Manni wasn't one to wear suggestive clothing, but during video recordings, she wore a rather formal blazer. It's just that her figure was so good that even a fitted blazer without intentional exposure seemed to pressurize her chest, as if it were about to burst forth.
"Brother-in-law..."
Li Manni called out in a low voice.
"Uh."
"I got a little distracted just now."
Yang Hao picked up his teacup and took a sip, to calm his shock.
According to the practices of state-owned media, the shorter the content of the news, the bigger the issue.
Now, the System only provided one reminder.
My younger aunt has evolved into a big boss, defeat her for rich rewards!
The richness of this reward must surely surpass all previous ones.
So, the System is telling me to fight the boss!
Yang Hao looked at his younger aunt again, he couldn't bear to fight her!
At most, it would be spanking her butt during deeper interactions in the future...
Thump thump.
At this moment, someone knocked on the office door.
And this knocking also interrupted Yang Hao's drifting thoughts.
"Manni, the female author you scheduled an appointment with has arrived," said Xu Wenqian as she stepped into the office.
"Uh, Mr. Yang, hello!"
Xu Wenqian, who was previously busy with other things and did not know that Yang Hao had arrived, promptly greeted him upon seeing the CEO sitting in the office.
"Hmm, Manni, you go ahead with your work!"
"Wenqian, come with me to the parking lot."
After speaking, Yang Hao stood up and walked out.
Xu Wenqian didn't know what the CEO wanted her for but still quickly followed him.
"Manni has been working quite hard lately, hasn't she?" Yang Hao asked as they walked.
"Yes, she often works overtime until nine or ten o'clock." Xu Wenqian nodded earnestly.
"It's okay to persuade her to work less overtime, and when you have time, hire a cook who can make meals for you and Manni, I will pay for the salary, get the best one," Yang Hao continued to speak as they walked, on the one hand, he genuinely felt sorry for his younger aunt, and on the other hand, this was also paving the way for the upcoming boss fight.
He had to let his younger aunt feel his care for her.
"Uh?"
"Okay!!"
Xu Wenqian was first surprised and then quickly nodded her head, her heart bursting with joy. Ever since she clung onto her good friend's coattails, her life had been getting better and better—living in a lavish house, driving a luxury car, and now there would even be housekeeping services.
She couldn't imagine how amazing it would be to cling directly to Mr. Yang's coattails.
Speaking of which, Mr. Yang also seemed to be getting handsomer.
That CEO aura of his was getting stronger!
As Xu Wenqian was lost in her thoughts, the two had already arrived at the parking lot.
Yang Hao came today in a Wenjie M9, he opened the trunk, and took out two Patek Philippe shopping bags and handed them to Xu Wenqian, "The one on the left is for Manni, the one on the right is yours."
In the past, when Yang Hao was completing tasks, he bought many Patek Philippe watches, and he had always kept the two-million-dollar one for Li Manni.
"I have one too?"
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!!"
Xu Wenqian recognized the Patek Philippe shopping bags and was instantly overjoyed.
"Hmm, go ahead!"
Yang Hao waved his hand nonchalantly and then prepared to go deal with business at Tianmei.
"Mr. Yang, may I ask what's the difference between these two?"
At that moment, Xu Wenqian curiously asked because she noticed the shopping bags looked the same and seemed to have no difference, so why distinguish left from right?
Yang Hao glanced at Xu Wenqian and smiled, "You're better off not knowing."
Same?
What a joke!
One's over two million, the other is an entry-level piece for just over two hundred thousand!
That's a tenfold difference!
Our kind-hearted Mr. Yang didn't immediately reveal this cruel truth but drove off with poise.
