Chapter 568 - 568 Never Give Up
"Chairman, good morning!"
"Hello, Chairman!"
"Chairman, there's a meeting today that you need to attend!"
After Hao Jian took Zhao Yating and the others to Shu Ya Group, the passing employees all enthusiastically greeted Hao Jian.
Seeing this, Zhao Yating and the other girls were stunned. Could it be that Hao Jian was actually the chairman of Shu Ya Group?
"Teacher, how come you are the chairman of Shu Ya Group?" Zhao Yating asked in astonishment, somewhat incredulous. Wasn't the chairman of Shu Ya Group supposed to be Shu Ya, that formidable woman?
"Just the Vice Chairman," Hao Jian humbly replied.
Even so, the girls were still incredibly shocked; Hao Jian had indirectly admitted that he was the chairman of Shu Ya Group.
Currently, Shu Ya Group in Hua City was incredibly prominent, almost a household name. It was rumored that it might become the first Huaxia brand to enter Champs-Elysées.
"So, you and Shu Ya are colleagues then?" one of the girls asked, her admiration for Shu Ya boundless. She was indeed the idol of these young women.
"Not exactly," Ye Nan said with a chuckle, shaking his head.
"That can't be. Shu Ya is the chairman of Shu Ya Group, and you are the Vice Chairman. You should be colleagues, right?" Zhao Yating reiterated, puzzled. How could the Vice Chairman and the Chairman not know each other?
"We're not colleagues; we are husband and wife. She's my wife!" Hao Jian said with a smile.
"Wow, no way!" the group of girls exclaimed in shock. Shu Ya was Hao Jian's wife? This was too surprising; they had never heard Hao Jian mention it before.
Zhao Yating and Che Xiaoxiao, however, did not look pleased. They both harbored feelings for Hao Jian that were more than platonic, and now, learning that Hao Jian was actually Shu Ya's husband, equated to him being a married man, which left them feeling quite downhearted.
Although both Zhao Yating and Che Xiaoxiao knew that Hao Jian had some sort of relationship with Shu Ya, they merely thought he was just playing around with her, considering how flirtatious he appeared. But they had never imagined that Hao Jian was actually married to Shu Ya?
Faced with someone as noble and dignified as Shu Ya, they felt an immense pressure. They were just ordinary college students—how could they possibly win over Shu Ya?
"Don't believe it? I can show you our photo together," Hao Jian offered with a laugh, then showed the girls a selfie of himself and Shu Ya at home.
At the moment in the photo, Shu Ya was pouting her lips, planting a kiss on Hao Jian's cheek, devoid of her usual icy corporate demeanor, looking just like an ordinary young girl.
After seeing it, the girls were stunned. They had never seen this unknown side of Shu Ya before, as she had always presented herself as composed and unapproachable before the public.
That convinced them completely, and the group of girls pouted, "Teacher, that's really not fair of you, to be married to Chairman Shu Ya and not tell us!"
"You never asked," Hao Jian replied with a wry smile.
"Hao Jian, you heartbreaker! I was so devoted to you, yet I never expected you to be married already!" At that moment, a naive girl started crying, accusing Hao Jian.
Knowing that Hao Jian was married made her upset, feeling that she no longer had a chance.
"Don't talk nonsense, or people who don't know might think I've done something to you," Hao Jian responded, amused and helpless. Were these girls really so difficult to deal with?
"You should have said you were married earlier. It's awful to let someone harbor fantasies. The greater the hope, the bigger the disappointment, you jerk!"
"That's right, I'm not going to like you anymore!"
"I hate you, Hao Jian!"
Hao Jian was dumbfounded. This is also his problem?
Immediately, Hao Jian pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, "Is everything my fault then?"
"Since I'm so detestable, then stop following me around, and don't go meet Su Xinya either. I'll send you back!" Hao Jian said.
"No, Teacher, I realize my mistake," they pleaded.
"Teacher, I really like you now, you're my favorite," another chimed in.
"Teacher, you are so handsome; I've never seen any man as dashing as you are!"
Zhao Yating and Che Xiaoxiao felt a headache coming on. These people really had no bottom line.
Hao Jian sighed helplessly, "You kids, why do you always speak such blunt truths? Alright, since you are so honest, I'll take you to meet Su Xinya."
Arriving at the shoot location, Su Xinya was in the middle of an advertisement shoot. Currently, Su Xinya was in a white dress, her face without makeup, showcasing an ethereal quality and an otherworldly charm.
The commercial depicted Su Xinya as the enchanting Nine Heavens Profound Girl, in
"But that's not right!" Zhao Yating cautioned.
"I know, that's why I can throw caution to the wind, and you can't. In the end, Hao Jian will definitely choose me, not you!" Che Xiaoxiao dropped this statement and then followed the others out of the company.
Zhao Yating still looked stunned. It took her quite a while to snap back to reality, her eyes flashing with determination, "I will not give up! Hao Jian will definitely be mine!"
Hao Jian had chosen a five-star hotel called Kaiyue for the meal, booking almost half the venue for the treat.
The staff were naturally very grateful. They had filmed countless ads, but it was the first time they were being treated to a meal, and at such an upscale hotel at that.
Hao Jian and the others took their seats. After ordering, they prepared to dine.
At that moment, Hao Jian heard a group of people nearby discussing loudly. Their voices were particularly clamorous and even a little disruptive in the serene environment.
"This landscape painting of mine, it's by Zheng Banqiao, invaluable. I got it from an antique collector, and many have appraised it as undoubtedly authentic, possibly worth fifty million, but I only paid ten million for it!" At this time, a middle-aged man spoke up, tall and thin but balding, with spectacles that didn't make him look scholarly but rather sleazy.
He was enthusiastically talking about a painting he owned, full of excitement.
"No way, Old Ma, you are too lucky!" One of his friends, clearly another aficionado of antique collecting, exclaimed in surprise.
This Old Ma, whose name was Ma Liben, was a businessman engaged in foreign trade who enjoyed collecting antiques as a hobby.
