The heavens set sail from the courtyard

At noon, Wang Gang did not have lunch with Manny, but ate with Yang Xiaoyun instead.

Manny had a lunch appointment with a business partner, which she couldn't refuse. Moreover, the Liu family would need the partner's support in the future, and Wang Gang couldn't help with the social obligations involved.

Wang Gang mainly did three things at Liu's company.

The first thing was naturally to inject capital. With ample working capital, the Liu family was able to overcome this difficulty.

The second thing is to audit the accounts, find out all the corrupt officials in the company, and fire them. Now it depends on when Yao Yao will start taking action.

The third thing is to discover talent.

For a company to grow, the efforts of individuals alone are not enough; as a leader, the key is to be good at discovering talent.

Manny was completely clueless about this, and relied entirely on Wang Gang.

Wang Gang has a keen eye. After only a month at the company, he basically figured out who was working hard, who was slacking off, who could be won over, who could be bribed, who was talented, and who was mediocre.

Wang Gang had lunch with Yang Xiaoyun, mainly to give her a list of personnel so that Manny could pay more attention to them in the future.

"Remember to remind Manny that the people on the first page are those who can be promoted directly, the people on the second page need to be observed further, and the people on the third page are corporate spies from other companies that need to be dealt with as soon as possible," Wang Gang instructed Yang Xiaoyun while eating.

"Gao Qiang, you're so amazing! You can even uncover corporate espionage. With you by my side, Sister Manny can really rest easy," Yang Xiaoyun said with admiration.

Wang Gang frowned and said to Yang Xiaoyun, "Xiaoyun, you are now President Qin's assistant. In the future, when you are working, try to address her by her title and don't call her Sister Manny."

It's fine for us to be casual in our private lives, but in the workplace, we must be mindful of our words and actions.

Yang Xiaoyun's expression tightened, and she nodded, saying, "President Gao, I understand."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Xiaoyun, don't be too nervous. We're eating out now, so consider it a break."

Yang Xiaoyun is young and has little experience in the workplace. Manny wanted to groom her as a confidante, but there were some things she couldn't say directly, so she could only say them through Wang Gang.

Just then, Yang Xiaoyun's phone rang.

"You answer the phone!" Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Excuse me."

Yang Xiaoyun picked up her phone and answered it directly without avoiding Wang Gang.

"Hey, Charlene, what do you want?"

"What, borrow money?"

"Where would I get 50,000 yuan?"

"Do you need it urgently? Most of the money I have is used to pay off my mortgage, and I only have seven or eight thousand in savings left. I'll lend it to you if you need it urgently."

Yang Xiaoyun hung up the phone, her brows furrowed, seemingly troubled.

Wang Gang asked curiously, "Xia Lin asked you to borrow money?"

Yang Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Xia Lin's parents secretly took her savings to invest in stocks, but they lost everything. She needs 50,000 yuan for emergencies?"

Wang Gang asked in surprise, "Then why didn't she approach Lu Tao? I know Lu Tao made 20 million from the last old building renovation project."

Yang Xiaoyun sighed, "Xia Lin is too ashamed to go to Lu Tao. I heard that the money she spent on studying abroad was lent to her by Lu Tao's rich father."

Wang Gang raised an eyebrow and said, "So, Xia Lin doesn't have the money to study abroad?"

Yang Xiaoyun said worriedly, "Not only that, Xia Lin said that her parents also mortgaged the house to speculate on stocks."

Wang Gang chuckled and said, "Are Xia Lin's parents crazy?"

Yang Xiaoyun said with a bitter face, "Who says otherwise? Xia Lin's parents didn't seem like gamblers before, so why did they gamble so much this time? They even lost the house!"

Wang Gang sneered inwardly, already realizing that it was Boss Xu from the nightclub who had made the move, and that Xia Lin had probably fallen into the trap Boss Xu had woven for her. "Gao Qiang, I need to go to the bank to withdraw money, so I won't eat." Yang Xiaoyun stood up and said, "Since Xia Lin has asked me for money, she must be at her wit's end."

Wang Gang generously said, "Go ahead!"

Yang Xiaoyun gritted her teeth, wondering whether she should ask Wang Gang for a loan, but in the end she was too embarrassed and went to the bank alone.

Wang Gang ate his meal leisurely, not taking Xia Lin's matter to heart. After all, she wasn't anyone to him, and what happened to Xia Lin in the end was none of his business.

After lunch, Wang Gang did not return to his company, but instead drove to the company of Mi Lai's father, Mi Lixiong.

The Liu family and Mi Lixiong are collaborating on real estate development. There is a land auction in the afternoon, and Wang Gang and Mi Lixiong have already arranged to go together.

Wang Gang drove his car to the parking lot downstairs at Mili Xiong Company. Just as he parked the car, Mi Lai suddenly jumped into it.

"Why are you here? Have you finished your studies abroad?" Wang Gang was quite surprised to see Mi Lai.

Mi Lai threw herself into Wang Gang's arms and gave him a kiss.

"Ooh!" Wang Gang was caught off guard by the kiss. He glanced around and observed his surroundings before responding.

Mi Lai kissed him from behind, then wrapped her arms around Wang Gang's neck and sat on his lap.

"I miss you so much," Milai said breathlessly. "Why don't you come to see me?"

"I've been so busy lately, I really haven't had the time," Wang Gang said with a smile. "Didn't I promise you I'd visit you when you got to America?"

Mi Lai pouted and said, "I don't really want to go study abroad anymore."

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The school and the house have been arranged. If you don't go, I'm afraid your dad will tear me apart."

Mi Lai snorted coldly, "My dad wouldn't dare to make things difficult for you. He's afraid I'll never speak to him again."

Wang Gang hugged Mi Lai and said, "Alright! In a couple of days, after I'm done with my work, I'll dedicate all my time to you. Before I leave, I'll definitely make sure you're well-fed."

Mi Lai nestled in Wang Gang's arms like a kitten and said softly, "I've discovered that you're poisoned. I'm becoming more and more dependent on you. I'm really afraid that after I go over there, I won't be able to resist wanting you and will run back to you."

Wang Gang was having a headache. He and Mi Lai had agreed to live life as they pleased and not to think about dating or marriage until she returned to China after completing her studies.

Mila initially agreed, but as the date for her studies abroad drew closer, she began to show signs of having second thoughts.

"Gao Qiang, did you go to Sister Manny's place yesterday? You smell like her perfume on you." Mi Lai suddenly sniffed Wang Gang and said with displeasure.

“Manni’s bar was sold. She went there yesterday to pack up her things, and I went to help her,” Wang Gang explained.

"Hmph, Sister Manny is so cunning. It's one thing to monopolize you all the time, but now she's even recruited you to the company, making it less time for us to spend together," Mi Lai said reluctantly.
"I don't care, you have to stay with me tonight."

“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Wang Gang laughed, “Let’s go upstairs first! This is a parking lot, it’s not good if someone sees us.”

Mi Lai hugged Wang Gang's neck tightly and said, "Let me hug you a little longer."

Wang Gang held Mi Lai as if he were coaxing a child. The two enjoyed five minutes of peace before being woken up by a car horn.

Mi Lixiong's car was parked in front of Wang Gang's car. His eyes were fixed on Wang Gang, and his fingers gripping the steering wheel were white.

Caught by her father, Mi Lai was startled and quickly jumped off Wang Gang and sat in the passenger seat.

Wang Gang remained calm, straightened his clothes, opened the car door and got out, greeting Mi Lixiong as "Uncle Mi".

Mi Lai also got out of the car, straightened her skirt, gave an awkward, silly smile, and had an unnatural blush on her face.

"Dad, you're back so early."

Mili Xiong's face darkened, and he said coldly, "This is a parking lot, a public place. Show some restraint." (End of Chapter)
