"What do you mean? Your boss?" Ye Hao looked at Miss Liang Yating with confusion.
"Yes, everyone outside is saying that I single-handedly support the Yating Club. Chairman Ye, do you believe it?" Miss Liang Yating asked, looking intently at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile, "When I first heard people say this, I believed it, but after meeting Miss Liang, I didn't believe it anymore."
Liang Yating, upon hearing this, became interested. She temporarily set aside her troubles and asked curiously, "Chairman Ye, why did your perception of me change so much after you met me?"
"Do you want the truth or a lie?" Ye Hao asked.
"Of course, the truth," Liang Yating replied.
"Alright! Then I will say it and I hope Miss Liang won't take offense," Ye Hao said.
"I won't, and I also hope Chairman Ye can point out my shortcomings, so I know where I went wrong," Liang Yating said, eager to learn.
"Hmm! First, your vision is limited to wanting someone to protect you, rather than leveraging the power that protects you to create a force stronger than that protection. Take Gold's Uncle Jin, for example—he deals in gold, while you are in the food industry. The two businesses essentially have no dealings, yet you rely on his influence to stabilize your Yating Club. This is unnecessary since, if something goes wrong at the club, Uncle Jin can't really help you in business."
"Second, your vision is a bit blindly reliant on others' opinions."
"Third, I don't know if you have someone supporting you, but if not, your career won't last long. If someone is supporting you, you still can't sustain it for long without their help."
Ye Hao shared three views on Liang Yating.
Liang Yating fell silent upon hearing this, contemplating whether Ye Hao's observations were true.
After repeating everything, she realized that Ye Hao had seen right through her; he was indeed correct about her.
"So, for a woman like me, what kind of position would be suitable?" Liang Yating asked, eager to learn.
"If you have someone above you giving you a clear path, you can excel in management, but if you have to carve out a path on your own, you'd be overwhelmed," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"Chairman Ye, are you so certain that I can't create a path for myself?" Liang Yating asked, a bit unconvinced.
"Haha, if you could, I don't think you would have asked me to meet today," Ye Hao chuckled, taking out two bottles of mineral water from his space, avoiding any fancy drinks.
"How...how did you get that?" Liang Yating asked, stunned.
"In the world of magicians, women won't understand," Ye Hao said mysteriously with a smile.
"Alright, alright! I know you're proud of your skills, but let's get to why I asked you to meet," Liang Yating said, looking at Ye Hao.
"Your boss dumped you, and now the Yating Club will face many competitors. Like I said earlier, if your boss falls or abandons you, your Yating Club would start trembling," Ye Hao said with a smile.
"If I didn't know you're busy every day, I'd think you investigated me," Liang Yating shook her head with a bitter smile, wondering how Ye Hao knew all this.
It wasn't that Ye Hao was prescient; it was that she said her boss dumped her, coupled with Ye Hao's slight understanding of her.
So he pieced it together from that.
Ye Hao smiled without saying a word.
"Knowing my boss ditched me, did you have any thoughts of taking me in?" Liang Yating half-jokingly asked.
"If Miss Liang doesn't mind a small establishment, you're welcome to join us," Ye Hao replied with a smile.
"It seems Chairman Ye is very kind-hearted! Opening a temple to give porridge and aid the needy," Liang Yating complimented Ye Hao.
"That also depends on the person. For someone as beautiful as Miss Liang, even if I don't take action, someone else will," Ye Hao said.
"Someone else? Haha, they might not dare to take me in," Liang Yating said with a helpless smile again.
"Why wouldn't they dare? Anyway, I'll leave this here: if Miss Liang doesn't want to manage the food industry, there are still some positions available for you with us. As long as Miss Liang doesn't mind a small establishment," Ye Hao guaranteed.
Although Liang Yating isn't as comprehensive as Qin Xiweng and Aixinjueluo Xiaolong in terms of big-picture perspective, she is quite good at handling some detailed matters. If she could join the elite club, she would surely carve out a niche in the higher levels of the elite club.
Because there are many positions available in the elite club, and there are even more roles where she can play to her strengths. As long as Liang Yating finds the right position, she would undoubtedly excel in that field.
"Doesn't Chairman Ye fear that my boss abandoned me, but won't allow anyone else to help me?" Liang Yating asked, puzzled as she looked at Ye Hao.
Was Ye Hao really so bold? He didn't even ask who her boss was before offering to take her in?
"When I see talent, I make a choice. If he doesn't know how to cherish talent, he's just foolish," Ye Hao said disdainfully.
"But my former boss was very reputable!" With Ye Hao's assurance, Liang Yating felt completely at ease. This is life—having someone appreciate you makes it beautiful.
"Who is it?" Ye Hao asked casually.
"Tang Hao..." Liang Yating directly uttered the two words, Tang Hao.
When Ye Hao heard Tang Hao, he was stunned. Liang Yating's boss turned out to be Tang Hao?
Why did Tang Hao suddenly want to abandon Liang Yating? Could it be he coveted Liang Yating's beauty, but she didn't comply, so he lost interest?
Or was it something else?
"Scared now?" Seeing Ye Hao's expression, Liang Yating thought he might be afraid of Tang Hao, and felt a bit disappointed.
"Hehe, it's not fear, just a little conflict with him. I'm afraid he abandoned you because of me," Ye Hao said dismissively.
"What? You have a conflict with him?" Liang Yating looked at Ye Hao, astonished. Ye Hao having a conflict with Tang Hao? Was this elevating Ye Hao, or had she not truly understood him yet?
"There is a little, but it's no big deal," Ye Hao said nonchalantly.
"Do you know him? You're sure it's the Tang Hao I'm talking about?" Liang Yating still couldn't believe that a businessman like Ye Hao dared to offend Tang Hao.
After all, Tang Hao truly is the Crown Prince!
"The son of Chairman Tang, Tang Hao," Ye Hao said calmly.
"You... you're impressive!" Liang Yating pointed at Ye Hao, uttering "you're impressive" after a long pause.
Ye Hao smiled, then asked, "Now do you believe I'm willing to take you in? Do you want to enter the elite club sooner?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yating fell silent.
She did want to join the elite club, but some people weren't willing! (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
