How could I compare myself to Lin Ruyu's face?
Chen Shuyan lowered her head a little embarrassed, feeling ashad of her earlier thoughts.
"Nonsense, ask them, see who would say I'm not a gentleman?" Ye Hao raised his head proudly, knowing Lin Ruyu and the others wouldn't break his facade.
Sure enough, the girls all shook their heads, indicating Ye Hao was a gentleman.
Chen Shuyan bit her teeth secretly in anger but had to admit Ye Hao had so skills to get all four beauties to speak on his behalf.
"It's just ten thousand, right? Ci lent it to first, I've already returned it to him, cheapskate." Chen Shuyan humd defiantly.
Ji Keci laughed, "Shuyan, don't tease. Ye Hao isn't that kind of person. I don't know how you t, but Ye Hao isn't like you say. Rember what I told you? He's the one who helped win the race."
"Ah! He's... he's the one who helped you win the race?" Chen Shuyan gasped, thinking this Ye Hao was just soone with the sa na, but didn't expect it to be the person who helped Ji Keci win the race. She had heard of Ye Hao's racing skills and felt so admiration when thinking of him reaching 450 km/h while racing.
"Yes! Ye Hao, you won't hold a grudge against Shuyan, will you?" Ji Keci said to Ye Hao laughingly after humming at Chen Shuyan.
"Of course! We're going to eat, have you eaten yet? If not, join us?" Ye Hao wasn't stingy. While so banter livened up the atmosphere nicely, Ye Hao understood so necessary etiquette.
"We were planning to wait for your class to end, then take Miss Lin and Miss Su to a five-star hotel in the city center for dinner!" Ji Keci said to Ye Hao, but her eyes also glanced at Lin Ruyu and Su Qing, nodding.
Xia Zhu and Tan Rong felt a little embarrassed seeing this, Xia Zhu suggested, "Why don't you go eat first!"
"Yeah! Ye Hao, I won't bother you anymore." Tan Rong, upon hearing that Ji Keci only invited Ye Hao, Lin Ruyu, and Su Qing, didn't have much appetite to tag along.
A flash of displeasure crossed Ye Hao's face, feeling Ji Keci was too snobby, knowing he had four won with him yet only ntioned Lin Ruyu and Su Qing.
Ye Hao waved a hand, smiling at Xia Zhu and Tan Rong, "Don't forget I'm treating this al." Ye Hao's words were to tell Xia Zhu and Tan Rong, this al was on him, whatever Ji Keci wanted had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't join Ji Keci at a five-star hotel either.
Xia Zhu and Tan Rong were a bit delighted hearing this, thinking Ye Hao understood them.
"Ji Keci, if you're going for a al, please go ahead! General Xiao is waiting for , I'll go first." Ye Hao was increasingly displeased with Ji Keci, thinking does she really believe being pretty ans ignoring the feelings of his friends? Ye Hao thought to himself angrily.
Ye Hao bypassed Ji Keci and left with the four won, Lin Ruyu offering an apologetic look symbolically.
"Ci, weren't you inviting him for a al? Why did he leave?" Chen Shuyan didn't quite understand business nuances, only knowing Ji Keci wanted to treat Ye Hao to a al, but Ye Hao didn't appreciate it and directly left to et so general.
"Oh! It's my fault." Ji Keci cursed herself, then in Chen Shuyan's stunned state, grabbed her hand to chase after Ye Hao.
She didn't know about Ye Hao's appointnt with General Xiao, nor did she understand how much Ye Hao valued his friends. A single unhappy word and he would directly show you a cold shoulder.
"What are you doing, Ci?" Chen Shuyan called out with so grievance while being dragged by Ji Keci, wearing high heels.
"Going to snag a al." Ji Keci laughed as she chased after Ye Hao.
"What? You want to dine at those low-end restaurants like them?" Chen Shuyan looked incredulous, feeling it was beneath her.
Ji Keci ignored her surprise and directly took her to catch up with Ye Hao.
Seeing them catching up, Ye Hao didn't mock them but rely smiled and invited them for a al if they hadn't eaten.
Ye Hao's calm deanor displeased Chen Shuyan, but since these were Ji Keci's friends, she was too embarrassed to openly argue.
General Xiao had long been waiting for Ye Hao inside the hotel, even ordering so dishes, though they hadn't been served yet.
Watching the ti tick by, Xiao Jiu's initial smugness faded, now just wishing for Ye Hao to appear quickly and bring the data. If possible, if Ye Hao gave them that chemical, Xiao Jiu would ensure the country thanked Ye Hao sincerely. After all, strong soldiers make a strong nation.
After a few more minutes, Ye Hao arrived with six beautiful won, with maturity, sensuality, charm, and cuteness, making even a man in his forties feel moved for a mont.
"Haha, Brother Xiao, sorry for being late." Ye Hao, seeing Xiao Jiu sitting bored at the dining table, walked over in large strides, quickly shaking Xiao Jiu's hand enthusiastically.
Lin Ruyu knew Ye Hao had matters to discuss with Xiao Jiu, so she led the won to another table and handed them the nu to order.
In order to maintain Ye Hao's face, Lin Ruyu ordered the most expensive dishes. After all, she knew that Ye Hao had won over four billion recently with Xue Zhaolong and others. Even after paying taxes, there was still four billion left, so ordering the priciest als was nothing, let alone buying thousands of such restaurants would be easy.
Ye Hao just got up halfway through to clink glasses with them and then sat by the window talking with Xiao Jiu.
"Brother Xiao, these are the data you requested. They might be slightly off, but they're approximately accurate." Ye Hao's words made Xiao Jiu's heart jump, but after thinking about it, he understood. Ye Hao was worried that Xiao Jiu would talk indiscriminately, and the promised permit might not be granted!
"Haha, Brother Ye, you're being too formal. Cheers to Ye Hao." Xiao Jiu laughed loudly, then turned serious.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao imdiately stood up and saluted. Xiao Jiu nodded secretly, acknowledging that Ye Hao's nature remained unchanged—he always complied obediently with the words of his superiors.
"Considering your contributions, Comrade Ye Hao... we specially issue this certificate, hoping that your Heaven-Filling Heroic Spirit Institute will develop sothing beneficial to the nation and people. The registered capital is ten billion..."
Ye Hao widened his eyes at these words, cursing inwardly, "Damn it, this is outright banditry! Just because they saw win billions, they're going this far!"
Despite his heartache, Ye Hao knew there was no way out because Xiao Jiu said that this decision was backed by both the Armant Departnt and the heads of both the army and the police. If Ye Hao only registered a few million, then if there were any inspections, the military wouldn't intervene.
This was clearly Xiao Jiu informing Ye Hao not to resist because any struggle would be futile.
In the end, Ye Hao painfully transferred five billion to the military and another five billion to the Ministry of Public Security before Xiao Jiu finally issued the permit to him.
"Brother Xiao, it hurts! You owe this al." Ye Hao feigned a heartbroken expression.
"Alright, alright, haha, Brother Xiao is treating this al." Xiao Jiu laughed heartily, knowing well that Ye Hao was pretending, yet both tacitly acknowledged it.
Xiao Jiu also thought that if Ye Hao could develop advanced weapons or new equipnt, it might boost the national economy or even lead to cooperation with the military to equip a well-ard force with his inventions.
After a few more drinks with Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiu, feigning drunkenness, paid the bill and left.
Ye Hao knew Xiao Jiu was eager to return and start researching, hoping to deploy the equipnt as soon as possible.
As soon as Xiao Jiu left, Ji Keci approached with a glass of wine. Ye Hao knew this woman was after the weapon blueprints.
"Ye Hao, I toast to you." Ji Keci raised her glass to Ye Hao.
"Alright, after this, I'll head to class." Ye Hao disliked beating around the bush. Seeing how Ji Keci was toasting repeatedly, he knew she was trying to play gas.
"Not so fast?" Ji Keci glanced at the clock, but seeing Ye Hao's expression, she understood he was averse to her.
This thought dimd her eyes briefly, but she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be straightforward. Ye Hao, the data you just gave to the General—is it the sa as what's for the Ji Family?"
"Not the sa, but close enough. Don't overthink it. Weapon data are generally quite similar; the differences lie in the details of the design."
Ji Keci understood that most weapon data were indeed similar, but the effective range and accuracy of Ye Hao's weapons made them stand out compared to ordinary ones.
"As for my family's blueprints..." Ji Keci hesitated, then asked.
"Haha, initially it was agreed for a year later, then changed to half a year, and I haven't seen even a corner of the machines I need. Careful, you might lose as a partner!" Ye Hao laughed, thinking how naive this woman was to ask for blueprints without offering anything in return.
"I know, it's presumptuous of , but my Ji Family desperately needs new powerful weapons. I hope you can understand." Ji Keci felt sowhat apologetic.
"I get it. Alright, have the machines I need sent to Celestial Paradise Coast, and I'll give you the weapon blueprints first thing. Is that okay? Don't worry, I've got the necessary permits." Although Ye Hao didn't like how calculative Ji Keci was, he was excited about the machines soon arriving.
Now that the permits were secured, all that was left was the precision machines Ji Keci was helping to acquire.
After quickly finishing the al, Ji Keci left, but by afternoon she called Ye Hao, informing him that the precision machines had already been delivered to Celestial Paradise Coast.
Ye Hao was thrilled upon hearing this news but thought about the unfinished class in the afternoon, forcing him to begrudgingly enter the training system to work on himself.
The afternoon passed swiftly, and when Ye Hao brought the two won back ho, he asked them what they liked to eat. Unusually, they said they would cook dinner tonight and asked Ye Hao to co ho early for dinner.
For the first ti, Ye Hao felt a deep sense of love in this ho, and his heart was filled with joy. anwhile, everything on the career front was ready... (to be continued.
