At that ti, Xu Hao's body was like a treasure trove! It's just that the treasure trove was too vast, and Xu Hao's current physical fitness and ntal capacity were utterly insufficient to inherit everything.
What Xu Hao was practicing now were just ordinary cultivation techniques! Xu Hao could clearly feel that, above these techniques, there were so even more powerful moves, techniques!
However, that barrier had not yet opened for so reason! However, there was no use for Xu Hao to rush; he could only take it step by step!
...
The afternoon passed without incident at the company.
But over at the Shenying Security Group in Jing'an City, all hell had broken loose!
Grandpa Ma's underling, the chief instructor Ma San, had actually been knocked down by a young punk and even got dragged to the police station?
"Dammit, a bunch of useless fools! So many of you, and you got beaten by a young punk? Are you all pigs... Even if you were pigs, it would still take several minutes for soone to fight you one by one, right? Good grief, in less than ten seconds, all ko!" Grandpa Ma, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, furiously smashed the teacup on the table, "Find out who it was, now!"
Next to Grandpa Ma, a subordinate spoke tremblingly, "Boss, that kid's na is Xu Hao, he's the son-in-law of Liu Corporation, and he's always been a pushover. Who knows if he took the wrong dicine today, he even beat up Instructor Ma!"
"Xu Hao? Liu Family's son-in-law? Very good!" A sharp light flashed in Grandpa Ma's eyes, "Tonight, I indeed need to have a word with Liu Ruyan!"
Jing'an City's prominent social gala was hosted by the Yun Family, one of Jing'an's three major families. As a well-known figure in Jing'an, Grandpa Ma naturally was invited, and Liu Corporation, being well-ranked in Jing'an, certainly would attend as well.
The so-called charity gala involved families donating so of their treasured antiques for auction, the proceeds of which would go to charity, a fine tradition in Jing'an.
The charity gala was held at the Yun Family's private auction venue.
The Yun Family's private auction venue, in the Southwest Region, although not the biggest, was quite renowned. Many auction enthusiasts could find plenty of good deals there.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Hao, dressed in a blue suit, and Liu Ruyan, in a white gown, stepped into the Yun Family's banquet hall, which already had many people gathered in groups, mingling with each other.
Previously, Liu Ruyan never brought Xu Hao to such events, but this ti, whenever she t soone, she politely introduced, "Hello, President Zhang, this is my husband, Xu Hao. Please take good care of him!"
"President Liu, this is my husband, Xu Hao. Please take good care of him!"
...
Liu Ruyan, leading Xu Hao, made acquaintances in a circle, and although everyone was superficially courteous, in reality, they did not take Xu Hao seriously.
Almost everyone in Jing'an knew that Xu Hao was a son-in-law to the Liu Family and rely a security guard at the Liu Family.
Such a man, with no real power, held no value.
Liu Ruyan also noticed the attitude of the people around and felt sowhat embarrassed about introducing Xu Hao now, saying apologetically to Xu Hao, "Honey, I'm sorry!"
Xu Hao smiled slightly, swirled the wine in his glass a bit, "No need to apologize to , isn't this normal? Respect has to be earned!"
While the two were chatting, from a side door next to the banquet hall, Wu Zhongcai of Wu Corporation appeared with his son, Wu Yu, and upon seeing Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan, Wu Zhongcai smiled broadly and quickly took a few steps forward.
"President Liu, Young Master Xu, you two are here, hello, hello!"
Wu Zhongcai's Wu Corporation, in Jing'an, ranked among the top ten corporations. Many other smaller company bosses were thinking of getting cozy with Wu Zhongcai, but he ignored them and walked over to Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan instead.
And most crucially, everyone noticed that Wu Zhongcai was the first to extend his hand for a handshake, and surprisingly, his intended target was Xu Hao!
And he was using both hands!
This was indeed worth pondering!
Wu Zhongcai's Wu Corporation had always wanted to swallow up the Liu Corporation, a fact that was no secret in Jing'an City. Wu Zhongcai had always wanted to pair his son Wu Yu with Liu Ruyan.
But now, upon seeing Xu Hao, Wu Yu looked sycophantic, "Young Master Xu, may I stand here? If you have any orders, please feel free to tell !"
The humble attitude left the surrounding crowd dumbfounded!
This Xu Hao seed not to be simple at all.
Responding to Wu Zhongcai's greeting, Xu Hao casually extended his hand for a shake, "General Manager Wu, long ti no see!" Xu Hao paused, then said to Wu Yu, "As for Young Master Wu, well, just stop eyeing my wife, and it will be fine!"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Young Master Xu jokes, I absolutely wouldn't dare!" Wu Yu's body trembled as he hastily replied to Xu Hao.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, several company CEOs, including President Liu and President Zhang who were just introduced by Liu Ruyan, had already gathered around.
Seeing Xu Hao's expression, Wu Zhongcai tactfully called out to everyone, "Ladies and gentlen, allow to introduce to you, our Liu Corporation's son-in-law, Young Master Xu! I'm sure you all have heard... Young Master Xu recently made a major investnt of three billion in Liu Corporation, taking up 10% of the shares, right, President Liu?"
Wu Zhongcai passed the conversation to Liu Ruyan. Knowing that Wu Zhongcai was trying to elevate Xu Hao, she nodded gently, "Yes, my husband indeed invested three billion in the company!"
"Moreover, Young Master Xu is also a business genius! Just a couple of days ago, when Wu Corporation's stocks were targeted by international financial institutions, we lost eight billion in an hour. It was Young Master Xu who stepped in to help, preventing Wu Corporation from going bankrupt. Young Master Xu is truly a great benefactor of Wu Corporation... Everyone should definitely interact more with Young Master Xu!"
Wu Zhongcai rattled on exaggeratedly, even though it was Xu Hao's influence that had blackmailed Wu Zhongcai. But, in Wu Zhongcai's words, Xu Hao had completely beco a savior, rescuing Wu Corporation.
Wu Yu, listening to his father's boastfulness, was so shocked his eyes nearly popped out! Themostup‑to‑dateversionison*.
Dad, where's your integrity?
How can you lie with your eyes open? How is this even possible?
However, one must admit, Wu Zhongcai's wild rambling had greatly pleased Xu Hao. Clearly, Wu Zhongcai was very sensible.
The result of all this boasting was that the group of CEOs and presidents who had previously ignored Xu Hao were now swarming towards him.
"Young Master Xu, I am Zhang Cheng, please take good care of in the future!"
"Young Master Xu, I am Liu Wei, let's have dinner when you're free!"
"Here's my business card!"
...
In less than half a minute, Xu Hao's hands were filled with a large stack of business cards from real estate companies, hotel managent, the dining industry, and even from the film and television industry!
Watching Liu Ruyan's smile gradually widen, Wu Zhongcai breathed a sigh of relief internally, knowing that he had played his cards right!
As the place was bustling, a hasty noise suddenly ca from the entrance. A man clad in a Zhongshan suit, flanked by several burly n, quickly approached Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan. "Grandpa Ma, it's Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan over there. Should the brothers take action right away?"
