Chapter 1201 Meeting
"Go together?" Zhou Yiming immediately objected, standing up to retort, "Lin Hao, we have to be reasonable!"

"First of all, I wasn't involved in Teacher Wu's matter. I even helped you torture Jia Kuan to extract a confession. Besides, I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I won't be going!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan objected immediately. A thought flashed through his mind, and he retorted, "What's wrong with you not going?"

"What do you mean you weren't involved in Teacher Wu's matter? You were involved in our sister's matter, weren't you!"

"Jia Kuan~!" Before Zhou Yiming could finish speaking, Jia Kuan jumped up and ran to Lin Hao's side, saying, "I'm reporting this! I'm going to expose them!"

"Let me tell you, he's the one who made that call to my sister. After he answered, he threw the phone at me and told me to talk!"

"You know, that bastard is a real piece of trash!" she said, then turned to Zhou Yiming and berated him, "You're not loyal at all!"

"Jia Kuan, do you want to die with me?" Zhou Yiming definitely didn't want to bring this up, so he immediately threatened through gritted teeth.

“What do you think!” Jia Kuan retorted smugly.

"Didn't you just say that this has nothing to do with you?" Lin Hao immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Yiming.

"No, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Zhou Yiming hurriedly explained, "Lin Hao, don't move, listen to me, I have something to say!"

"Yes, I admit I made the call, but I didn't say a single word!"

"Is Zhou Yiming playing word games with me?!" Lin Hao immediately said.

"I, I absolutely didn't play word games with you!" Zhou Yiming hurriedly explained:
"The situation was like this: Jia Kuan was right next to me, and after I made the call, I even greeted my sister!"

Zhou Yiming then recreated the conversation, saying, "I said, 'Sister, it's so late, and you're still not resting!'"

"I said there's something Jia Kuan wants to tell you!"

"Did you hear that?" Jia Kuan exclaimed excitedly, "He's the worst one!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Lin Hao released Zhou Yiming and then said irritably:

"I see now, they're all no good!"

Then Lin Hao pointed at Zhou Yiming and said, "That beating was because of you!"

Then, pointing at Jia Kuan, he said, "Teacher Wu, you called him here!"

"Tomorrow, you two will come with me to see Teacher Wu!"

"Let's go together, none of us will escape!"

"No, no, no!" Zhou Yiming tried to explain, but Jia Kuan pulled him back and said:
"Alright, Zhou Yiming, didn't you realize? This guy never intended to let us go after bringing us here!"

"Lin Hao, how about this, I'll go with you to see Teacher Wu tomorrow, okay?" Jia Kuan said, then added somewhat helplessly:

"But I can't stay here tonight. My family is very strict and we can't stay out all night. I'll come find you as soon as I get up tomorrow morning, okay?"

Zhou Yiming said with a look of disgust, "No, there's no room here either, how are the three of us supposed to stay?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Kuan immediately chimed in, "That's right, why can't we find enough room?"

"You two sleep in the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa. Nobody's leaving tonight!" Lin Hao said irritably. "You've caused this mess, you'd better figure out how to clean it up!"

"I'm speechless!" Zhou Yiming said, exasperated. "Alright, how about this?"

“We’re such good brothers, I’ll arrange a car first thing tomorrow morning, pick you two up, and we’ll go together, isn’t that great?”

"You two think I'm stupid, right!" Lin Hao sneered. "Letting you two go would be like throwing good money after bad."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Hao pointed to the table full of food and said, "Eat, and then go to sleep!"

Zhou Yiming and Jia Kuan had no choice but to sit down and drink and eat with Lin Hao. When they had drunk enough, the two looked at each other and helped Lin Hao to bed.

After settling in, they took advantage of Lin Hao's drunkenness and quietly left the hotel.

In fact, given Lin Hao's physical condition, how could he possibly get drunk after just a little alcohol? It was just a small get-together, not something they were really going to do to make them suffer.

Besides, I don't need my ex-mother-in-law to visit me, and more importantly, she can't help me anyway.

······
The next day, Lin Hao, dressed in sportswear, went to the park where they had agreed to meet and went for a run with Teacher Wu.

After all, some things need to be clarified, and since they've already come to the capital, it's not right to ignore them.

They're not mortal enemies, and besides, Lin Hao came here to relax; interacting with people is part of life, after all.

"Teacher Wu, you said you were coming to Beijing, but you didn't tell me so I could have picked you up!"

Wu Qing looked at Lin Hao with a hint of regret, then said, "Our relationship isn't what it used to be, so it's not really appropriate to trouble you any further!"

"We've run enough, let's find a place to rest!" Lin Hao said, pointing to a rest chair not far away.

Wu Qing looked Lin Hao up and down, then said with a doubtful expression, "Young man, your physical fitness needs improvement!"

"Haha!" Lin Hao chuckled, understanding the meaning behind Wu Qing's words. After inviting her to sit down, Lin Hao continued:

"Teacher Wu, I'm perfectly healthy, and my divorce from Jian Ai wasn't due to that!"

"What was the reason?" Wu Qing said with some regret, "You two were always doing well, how could you suddenly get divorced, and even worse!"

Lin Hao had no intention of beating around the bush with Wu Qing and spoke frankly:
"After so much time, I've thought about it calmly, and I can roughly guess what Jane is thinking."

"What's he thinking?" Wu Qing asked curiously.

"Since she married me, she has given up her career and devoted herself to being a full-time housewife!"

"But as the years have passed, she has become increasingly resentful. She has come to see my concern for her as pity, as a burden to me, and as a responsibility I have to fulfill, rather than a love for her!"

"I don't know if you can understand?" Lin Hao said, looking at Wu Qing.

"Sigh! What else could it be but being pretentious!" Wu Qing sighed inwardly. Being a person in the entertainment industry, she had never had low emotional intelligence and immediately understood what was going on.

They're just bored and have nothing better to do than to have wild ideas and cause trouble!
But she was, after all, Jane's mother, and she certainly wouldn't speak ill of her daughter. At the same time, she also wanted to see what Lin Hao was thinking.

Then, with a serious expression, he asked Lin Hao:
"Let's not talk about anything else. I just want to ask you one question: Now that you've divorced my daughter, do the promises you made to her still stand?"

"It's not Teacher Wu!" Lin Hao was somewhat speechless; the topic change was too abrupt. Nevertheless, he explained:
"Do you know what promise Jane made to me when she accepted my marriage proposal?"

"What promise!" Wu Qing asked about Lin Hao's promise to marry him, while Lin Hao was referring to the promise he made during the proposal. She was a little curious.

"That means that when she files for divorce in the future, I must agree unconditionally, otherwise she will not agree to my marriage proposal!" Wu Qing was speechless upon hearing this. How could she continue after that?
It's unbelievable that her daughter, after so many years, could still use words from the past to shut her up now.

The divorce was initiated by her daughter, and Lin Hao was purely a victim. Neither of them had wronged the other; it was entirely Jian Ai's own doing.

“Teacher Wu, I’m not actually blaming her. After reflecting on it recently, I think that Jian Ai leaving me might not be a bad thing.”

"Rather than letting her drift aimlessly through life and gradually lose herself in her marriage, it would be perfectly fine for her to embrace her ideals and ambitions. At least she can live authentically!"

"But don't worry, Teacher Wu, no matter what happens between Jian Ai and me, it will absolutely not affect my relationship with you!"

Wu Qing felt somewhat disappointed. Judging from Lin Hao's appearance, he had probably already accepted the fact that he had lost Jian Ai, and at most, he hadn't yet gotten over the shadow of the divorce.

Shaking his head with some disappointment, he said, "That sounds nice, but are you secretly criticizing me, thinking I'm meddling and making trouble for no reason?"

"No, you're an elder, it's normal for you to care about your child!" Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Oh, you're a good child, it's just that Jian Ai doesn't have that blessing!" Wu Qing said somewhat shyly.

"Actually, I also need your help with something!"

"What is it?" Lin Hao knew perfectly well that Wu Qing wanted him to pass on a message to Jian Ai about selling the house.

"It's just a small matter!" Wu Qing said somewhat awkwardly.

"You know, things in this world are all so coincidental, aren't they? You guys got divorced, and well, I got divorced too!" Wu Qing said somewhat awkwardly.

"You've gotten divorced again!" Lin Hao exclaimed in shock.

Wu Qing glared at Lin Hao, but Lin Hao calmed himself down and said, "No, well, this is indeed quite a coincidence!"

Wu Qing felt helpless, and then a little embarrassed, since Lin Hao and Jian Ai were divorced. However, she had no choice but to talk to Jian Ai, as it might lead to another conflict.

So he had no choice but to continue, "I hope you will tell Jane about this!"

"I told her!" Lin Hao said incredulously. After all, they were divorced, and he still had to tell her about this. It was really speechless.

"Didn't you notify her the first two times?" Wu Qing said matter-of-factly, "It's not like there's one more time!"

Although Lin Hao didn't mind and wasn't opposed to talking about such unpleasant things with Jian Ai, he certainly couldn't let her push her luck too far, so he declined, saying:
"Teacher Wu, I did say those things the first two times, but as you know, I didn't get anything good out of it!"

"The problem is that we're both in this state now, it wouldn't be appropriate for you to ask me to do it!"

"My relationship with Jane has been able to stay this way thanks to your mediation."

"You're the one who built this up, you can't just sit idly by and watch us go back to the way things were!"

"Besides, it's not all for me, it's also for Jane!"

"Just because you're divorced doesn't mean you can't have any feelings for her anymore?" Wu Qing retorted.

"Alright then!" Lin Hao said with a reluctant expression, "I'll give it a try!"

"And one more thing!" Seeing that Lin Hao agreed, Wu Qing seized the opportunity to continue:
Tell her that I'll be staying in Beijing for a while, staying with her, and tell her that too!

······
"Brother Kuan, did Lin Hao call you?"

"No ah!"

"I'm relieved they didn't hit me!"

"Okay, I'll hang up now!" Zhou Yiming said.

"No, no, no, there's not even a commotion. They might as well have come looking for us. It's kind of scary!" Jia Kuan said somewhat guiltily.

"Brother Kuan'er, don't be afraid. Since you've already done something unjust, the worst you'll get is a beating!"

"What do you mean I'm not loyal?!" Jia Kuan said irritably, "You're acting like this has nothing to do with you!"

Thinking of Jia Kuan, who had left first, Zhou Yiming said smugly:

"Anyway, I'm telling you, don't say too much to me, just remember this: you were the one who left first!"

"I'm hanging up now!" Zhou Yiming said, then hung up the phone and returned to his office.

Thinking about how he had meant well but ended up doing something wrong yesterday, Zhou Yiming decided to make it up to Huizi.

I realized my approach was wrong because I didn't understand young people's preferences, so I decided to ask the young people in the company what those idol dance groups were all about, and even get their advice.

At this moment, the secretary walked in and said to Zhou Yiming:
"Mr. Zhou, this is your meeting schedule and visitor schedule for next week!"

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. Go and call all the people born after 1995 in the risk control, investment, and marketing departments over for a regular meeting!"

"But Mr. Zhou~!" The secretary was about to say something when Zhou Yiming interrupted her directly:

"Also, call over the project managers related to the entertainment industry, quick!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhou!" The secretary thought Zhou Yiming had some good investment plan, so he quickly went to inform people.

······
Meanwhile, Liu Yingxia reported to Andy that they were initiating an M3 employee onboarding process.
M3 typically represents the third level of middle management, belonging to middle-level cadres, responsible for the coordination and execution of departments or teams.

Therefore, the “M3 Employee Onboarding Program” includes a special assessment for middle managers, leadership evaluation, and a higher-level approval process.

Jane's information was then sent directly to President Andy's email address, and Andy was reviewing Jane's information at that time.

He certainly knew who Jane was, and at that moment Andy felt a sense of elation, as if he had just had a happy occasion.

He then arranged for his secretary, Ada, to meet with Lin Hao to gauge his current attitude.

Meanwhile, Lin Hao was browsing his negative news when Jiang Nan arrived at the restaurant Lin Hao had arranged to meet.

"President Lin, have you been following the news these past few days?" Jiang Nan asked as soon as she sat down.

"I saw it, the counterattack is fierce!" Lin Hao said nonchalantly as he looked at the news.

Jiang Nan also said with a smile, "Multiple distributors have formed a front, which looks quite intimidating, but it's actually very loose!"

"Many manufacturers have announced their support, but in reality, someone has already secretly contacted Ms. Jing!"

Lin Hao said with a smile, "This kind of front is like the Maginot Line. Everyone knows it's useless, but they all have to follow suit and express their opinions!"

"Have you seen the news about you personally?" Jiang Nan asked with some concern.
