Chapter 1389: Chapter 1389

Hao Jian opened the door, and at a glance, he saw Shu Ya curled up on the sofa watching a TV drama. Immediately, he grinned, placed his things down, and said with a smile, "What? Were you so eager for me to come back, is there something you were waiting for me to do?"

Shu Ya rolled her eyes at Hao Jian and then pointed to the sofa next to her.

Hao Jian trotted over, and his suddenly transformed demeanor made Shu Ya burst into laughter. Unable to help it, she asked, "So, what did you go out to do?"

"Why are you back already when I'm only just back?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian froze for a moment and chuckled awkwardly, "I just went out for a bit."

After saying that, he immediately changed the topic, asking, "Didn't you say you'd be back in a few days? Why are you back as soon as I return?"

Hearing this, Shu Ya shook her head and said, "I've already sorted out the matter on East Ocean's side. The issues that Kuo Tianzheng and his team can handle, I don't plan to deal with. I'll leave it to them."

"After all, these few guys are the management team of the branch office. I can't let everything be handled by me, the president, right? What's the point of paying them? Might as well do it myself."

"So, I just bought a ticket and came back right after you. I just got back, and I didn't see you around."

Hao Jian didn't care much about the matters on East Ocean's side. Shu Ya knew that as long as she fired some disobedient employees, things wouldn't be a big deal.

After a brief look at the internal documents and files, she found nothing more required her intervention, so she left it to Kuo Tianzheng and his team.

After returning to the country, Shu Ya planned to go to the company directly, but she thought that the company could cope for a day without her, so she went to eat alone.

After eating, she realized it was getting late and was planning to return to her villa. Suddenly, she thought that Hao Jian should be home, so she changed her destination and went to Hao Jian's place.

To her disappointment, Hao Jian wasn't home. The clever Shu Ya guessed where Hao Jian was and didn't mind much. She waited in the living room for an hour or two, and when she didn't see any sign of Hao Jian, she sent him a message.

And with that, Hao Jian appeared in front of her.

Hao Jian nodded, sat on the sofa, raised his eyebrows at Shu Ya, and laughed mischievously, "So what's up with your outfit? Why so little clothes?"

The teasing words slipped into Shu Ya's ears, prompting her to smile charmingly and giggle, "Do you dare to make a move?"

Saying this, she puffed out her chest with a haughty look, her actions complemented by the thin clothes as light as cicada wings, causing Hao Jian's breath to grow slightly heavier.

"Hehe, who says I don't dare?"

With a mischievous smile, Hao Jian quickly scooped Shu Ya up amidst her startled exclamations.

The next morning, Hao Jian stretched, got up from the bed, looking at the somewhat empty king-sized bed, he shook his head slightly and sighed, "That girl's got some stamina! Able to go to work just like that."

After shaking his head to clear his mind, Hao Jian got out of bed, went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The night before, Hao Jian and Shu Ya had an in-depth discussion, so much so that they lost track of time, only falling asleep in a haze around three or four o'clock.

Now it was already past eleven in the morning. Originally, Hao Jian had planned to let Shu Ya rest for another day, but there was no choice. Shu Ya had been gone for so long; she wanted to return quickly to check on things.

So, she left around ten o'clock, while Hao Jian took another nap and only now got up.

Thinking of the wild night, Hao Jian couldn't help but think helplessly while brushing his teeth. He initially planned to have some fun and then sleep, but they ended up having a blast and stayed up late.

Now that Shu Ya didn't get enough sleep, Hao Jian worried if she'd fall asleep suddenly while at work, but it's manageable since she's just going to take a look, and afterward, she can rest in the office.

Half an hour later, Spice Ginger called, just to briefly report today's work, which mainly involved issues with Lin Corporation.

After a night's effort, Spice Ginger managed to shrink Lin Corporation's assets by half. How did he do it? You'd have to ask his subordinates.

Back when they were making investments, they signed a contract with Lin Corporation. How hard can it be to manipulate the terms now?

It's not that Hao Jian doubted Lin Qingxue, but when they were investing, Spice Ginger discovered some issues, which Hao Jian was aware of. However, he didn't care and instead suggested Spice Ginger keep an eye out.

And now, that vigilance came into play, immediately dragging Lin Corporation into a deep abyss with no escape. Currently, assets diminish a little every day, and stocks devalue a bit daily.

As they devalue, more and more investors choose to dump their shares. This dumping only adds insult to injury; Lin Corporation now faces halted factories, ceased transactions, everything has come to a standstill.

With only a small amount of funds remaining, struggling bitterly, there's now only one option left: transferring the remaining assets of the company into his own account, then dusting himself off and fleeing overseas, leaving Huaxia unable to catch him.

But what happened next left him dumbfounded. His woman, Shen Xin, had already transferred the money into her name when things started going wrong. And in the early morning, she had disappeared, along with Shen Xia.

At this moment, Lin Jiahao finally realized that all of this was a trap set by Shen Xin. He lost his pillar of support; he lost his company...

A wave of regret surged within his heart, yet there was nothing he could do. He wanted to plead with Spice Ginger but hesitated, and as for his daughter, he didn't dare.

This confirmed Lin Qingxue's words: when the time to beg arises, their absurdity becomes apparent.

His parents, Lin Qingxue's grandfather Shuishui, wanted Lin Jiahao to beg Lin Qingxue, but only Lin Jiahao knew that begging would be futile. His daughter had already given him a chance, but he didn't seize it himself.

And even if Lin Qingxue agreed, there's no guarantee about Hao Jian's side. During the confrontation, Hao Jian didn't show any respect to this Hua City's overlord!

"Young Master Hao, what do you mean?"

Due to uncertainty over Hao Jian's intentions, Spice Ginger temporarily advised his group of subordinates not to act too aggressively, and he came to inquire about Hao Jian's decision.

As long as Hao Jian nodded, within two days, he could bankrupt the billion-dollar company directly! Who told him he invested over five billion? His shares held over ninety percent; if not for Hao Jian's suggestion to allocate fifty percent to Lin Qingxue and the remaining shares to Lin Jiahao, he would be the chairman of Lin Corporation.

Of course, in the contract, Spice Ginger had already kept an eye open, and he had already reclaimed the shares given to Lin Jiahao.

"Just take it down; don't ask me anything else. Oh, you just mentioned what happened to Shen Xin?"

Hao Jian didn't care, casually implying doubt, wasn't Shen Xin Lin Jiahao's lover? Why the sudden plan to flee?

"She took a large sum of Lin Corporation's assets, planning to flee abroad, and I caught her easily. Now her money is with me."

Upon hearing this, Hao Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Transfer the money rightfully to Qingxue's account, it was hers originally."

Spice Ginger replied, then hung up the phone. Having gotten Hao Jian's instructions, he knew what to do next, particularly since it was just some trivial matter.

"Seems like there's nothing much left to do..."

Tossing the phone beside him, Hao Jian sat idly on the sofa, eventually letting out a long sigh: "There really isn't much left to do now!"

Suddenly, Hao Jian's eyes lit up and he clapped his hand: "Right, I wonder how Xiaoxiao is doing, that girl graduated. I've heard she's engaged in some mysterious work; can't even reach her during the day..."

With a peculiar laugh, Hao Jian decided to visit Xiaoxiao.

Presently, Hao Jian quickly packed his things, drove to a restaurant for lunch, and at around one o'clock, set off for Xiaoxiao's house.

"Hehe, gotta give that girl a surprise this time!"

Hao Jian chuckled to himself, then revved the engine, speeding down Hua City's streets, drawing attention. However, when people looked over, all they saw was a red streak, and then nothing more.

"Screech... screech..."

After a while, the previously quiet street suddenly echoed with urgent braking sounds; an Enzo Car steadily parked in front of a villa.

"Haha, this place is nice and quiet."

After getting out of the car, Hao Jian laughed, looking at the villa. Without hesitation, he walked over, reached the door, and pressed the doorbell.

"Hmm, she should be home at this time."

Shaking his head, Hao Jian remembered he hadn't called Xiaoxiao beforehand; what if she's not home?
