After Cheng Dao left, Ye Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He originally thought Cheng Dao was an honest and straightforward person who wouldn't cause any trouble, but unexpectedly, the chaos Cheng Dao caused nearly cost Ye Hao his life.
Though Cheng Dao had left, the several won were still crying uncontrollably. Ye Hao couldn't just explain that he had been acting earlier, as Wu Xiao might kill him if he did!
Ye Hao signaled to Dongfang Xuri with his eyes, directing him to find soone to tidy up the Dragon and Phoenix Castle; otherwise, this place really wouldn't resemble a ho at all.
However, when Ye Hao scanned the distance, he saw a desolate figure who was looking at the Dragon and Phoenix Castle with a sorrowful expression, as if the current state of the castle made him very uncomfortable and uneasy.
Ye Hao was puzzled. Who was this person? Why was he looking at the Dragon and Phoenix Castle with such a gaze?
But Ye Hao didn't have the ti to bother with others at the mont. He could only first comfort Lin Ruyu and the others, telling them not to cry anymore, or else the castle would soon be flooded with tears.
Wu Xiao, with tear-filled eyes, said, "I'm sorry, I forgot your troubled past. You had such a tough life, and my arrival only made it tougher for you. I'll move out imdiately, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to move out. Your presence adds another pair of chopsticks, another bowl to this household. If you leave abruptly, we will all miss you," Ye Hao said.
Lin Ruyu understood as well that Ye Hao had no romantic interest in Wu Xiao; his words were rely an attempt to keep Wu Xiao at the Dragon and Phoenix Castle, allowing her to occasionally protect them.
"Really?" Wu Xiao asked, her eyes red.
"Yes, really, Xiao Xiao, don't go," Lin Ruyu said.
"I won't if you don't fight anymore. Otherwise, Ye won't co back ho if he can't handle it," Su Qing said worriedly, looking at Ye Hao.
Ye Hao shook his head, indicating to Su Qing that he wouldn't leave them.
After all, this was a ho he had started, and he couldn't abandon it halfway. He intended to protect his won throughout his life, ensuring they enjoyed a healthy and peaceful life.
"I won't fight anymore, I'll just ignore Cheng Dao," Wu Xiao said softly and apologetically, feeling terrible inside for causing everyone to cry during her visit to Ye Hao's place.
"Good, that's the way. With the house in this state, I'll have soone co and tidy it up so that everyone has a warr ho, otherwise, it feels like living in ruins every day," Ye Hao said.
"Okay!" The won nodded, their eyes still red.
Afterward, Ye Hao asked Dongfang Xuri to invite soone to sort out the Dragon and Phoenix Castle, while he went outside to pursue the man he saw earlier at the castle.
He felt that the man he saw earlier was no ordinary person. With his commanding presence, it was evident that he perhaps once was a remarkable boss or a retired leader in Huaxia.
But what purpose did he have in visiting the Dragon and Phoenix Castle? Ye Hao intended to find out what the man wanted to do.
After walking about a kiloter, Ye Hao saw the man enter a noodle shop. Outside the shop stood an elderly man, trying his best to attract passersby to co in for a bowl of noodles.
When Ye Hao saw the elderly man, he was taken aback. Wasn't this the old gentleman who sold the Dragon and Phoenix Castle? How did he end up selling noodles? Several billion from the sale of the castle?
Puzzled, Ye Hao walked over to the old man.
The old man initially didn't notice soone had approached. He was looking at the crowd passing by, but no one was entering the noodle shop to eat, prompting him to sigh despondently.
"Sir, what are you doing here?" Ye Hao stepped forward and patted the old man's shoulder, asking.
The old man found the voice familiar. When he looked up and saw Ye Hao, he seed sowhat embarrassed, avoiding Ye Hao's gaze.
"Sir, were you scamd out of your money?" Ye Hao asked, puzzled. Although Ye Hao knew that the three billion from selling Dragon and Phoenix Castle weren't the old man's, the owner behind the scenes wouldn't treat the old man so poorly, right?
"No, no. What brings you here?" the old man replied, sounding quite embarrassed.
Previously, they had control over the Dragon and Phoenix Castle, which gave them so confidence. But now, without control and with the three billion from selling the castle used to repay debts, all he had left was an empty noodle shop.
Without confidence, he couldn't even speak assertively.
"I just saw a middle-aged man at my place. I wondered if he had any connection with the Dragon and Phoenix Castle or any intentions toward it, so I ca to check it out," Ye Hao said.
"No intentions, none, none. He was the forr owner of the Dragon and Phoenix Castle. Young man, he has no intentions. I know the castle is now full of skilled people, but we are just ordinary folks now. I beg you not to trouble us," the old man pleaded repeatedly.
"Sir, you might have misunderstood . I ca to et the forr owner, not to cause trouble. In fact, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you selling the castle, I might not have found such a great place to live in Yanjing," Ye Hao smiled and said.
Hearing this, the old man looked at Ye Hao in confusion. After a pause, he uncertainly asked, "You're really not here to make trouble for us?"
"Of course not! If I wanted to cause trouble, would I need to inspect the situation first? I could just have the experts from the Dragon and Phoenix Castle co over directly," Ye Hao said.
"That's true. But you said you wanted to et our old master?" the old man asked.
"Yes, that's right! You once ntioned your old master ran businesses, but they faced tough tis and closed down," Ye Hao replied with a smile.
Currently, the elite circles lack one thing: talent. But where could one find talent? It depends on where they erge. If they do, Ye Hao certainly wouldn't miss the chance to tap into their potential.
If this old gentleman's master could run businesses before, he must have a sharp mind. Even though the businesses closed, there's no doubt his brain still functions well.
Ye Hao wanted people with such a mind, with experience, a past, who could endure trials and handle pressure.
If this old gentleman's master could et these expectations, Ye Hao surely wouldn't miss out.
"He did run big businesses, but what does that have to do with you looking for him?" the old man asked, puzzled.
"I won't hide it from you. My company is short of personnel. If your master has an edge, I can offer a high salary to hire him. That's surely better than you running an unnoticed noodle shop here," Ye Hao said.
"Really?" the old man asked, his eyes lighting up. With Ye Hao being able to buy such a luxurious villa like the Dragon and Phoenix Castle, his offer of a high salary would surely be substantial.
"Absolutely!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian) with recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
