Supremely Talented Tyrant

Looks like that girl hasn't come back yet.

He looked around inside the villa, but found Shu Ya hadn't returned yet. He touched his chin, looked outside the door, and shook his head.

It's already past six, almost seven. According to Shu Ya's habits, if she were negotiating a business deal, it shouldn't be this late, after all, this was something agreed upon with Hao Jian.

But now that Shu Ya hasn't returned at the expected time, Hao Jian feels a subtle worry in his heart.

He turned his head and looked at Shen Ling, whose face was full of curiosity. He felt somewhat helpless. Shen Ling needed care, as she had suffered a lot today, and of course, more because of him, but Hao Jian didn't regret intervening in her life.

He rescued her from dire straits. Although it was good for her, she doesn't have much survival ability right now, or rather, she finds it hard to survive during these one or two months.

This is something Hao Jian has to help her with.

If he doesn't help, it would be like pulling her out of one pitfall only to throw her into another, still failing to truly save her.

"You rest here, there's a room on the second floor that used to be for the housekeeper, but she doesn't work here anymore. Of course, you can go there to change clothes and take a look,"

Hao Jian pointed to the second floor and spoke to Shen Ling.

"Mm..."

Shen Ling's weak voice came out in response to Hao Jian.

"Okay."

Holding the car keys in his hand, Hao Jian smiled gently at Shen Ling and waved, saying, "You should go take a bath and rest first. I need to go out. You're free to use the things in the house, except for the room on the third floor; you can't go there for now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ling was momentarily stunned and instinctively asked, "Are you leaving?"

As soon as she said this, Shen Ling's face suddenly blushed, thinking that she might not want Hao Jian to leave, hoping that he didn't misunderstand.

However, it was clear that Hao Jian didn't misunderstand and understood that she was extremely fragile right now. But he couldn't ignore Shu Ya's situation over there. Anyway, there won't be any issues with Shen Ling staying here.

Besides, around Shu Ya's villa, he had stationed people to keep watch nearby twenty-four hours a day, just in case his enemies suddenly decided to cause trouble for these female friends of his.

"I'll go out for a bit and come back soon. You don't need to worry, everything's alright." He waved with a smile, then opened the door again and went out, but his steps were somewhat hurried, clearly anxious about Shu Ya's situation.

For some reason, when Shen Ling saw Hao Jian leave, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, though she quickly managed to cover it up, pouting slightly.

She had just met this man today, yet it felt like she had known him for years...

Shaking her head to loosen her slightly sticky hair, Shen Ling began to take a closer look at the villa, and with just one glance, she was stunned.

Various things she had never seen before were everywhere. Her palm gently brushed over the sofa, feeling its extremely soft texture, which made her feel completely relaxed and happy.

Thinking about living in such a place soon, Shen Ling suddenly felt like she was dreaming. Even after a lifetime of hard work, she wouldn't be able to move into such a big villa, but now she could live here without paying any price.

"Am I being bought by him?"

Suddenly, Shen Ling remembered that Hao Jian had spent 1.5 million today to buy her from her parents, which brought up a very worrying question.

That is whether she could pay back the 1.5 million and then leave?

She bit her finger, temporarily suppressing this thought, since 1.5 million wasn't something that could be earned quickly. She would have to take things one step at a time!

Anyway, from what she had seen so far, Hao Jian had behaved like a gentleman, with manners so precise it never made her feel uncomfortable.

"The third floor is off-limits?"

Looking up at the ceiling of the third floor, Shen Ling was puzzled but didn't investigate further. Since Hao Jian said not to go, she wouldn't go.

This was someone else's home. Even if she stayed here, she's just a guest, not the owner. She must listen to what the owner says.

After sorting out these thoughts, Shen Ling finally took a step, though this movement made pain shoot through her feet, causing her to frown slightly. She gritted her teeth, enduring the pain not severe enough to stop her, and headed upstairs.

Actually, the third floor is just a few rooms, but that floor is the place where Shu Ya is currently living. Previously, since some people came to work at the company, Shu Ya gave up a few rooms for them to sleep in, and she moved to the third floor.

Once she moved, she stayed there without coming down, and Hao Jian helped her with this. After all, with so many things, someone had to help her.

Shu Ya's belongings, apart from Hao Jian, require her consent before others can go through them, otherwise, if something happens, those people will suffer the consequences.

This is what Hao Jian also emphasized to Shen Ling; if Shu Ya gets angry, Hao Jian will find himself in a difficult position.

..................

"Hello, I'm Hao Jian. Do you know where President Shu is now?"

After leaving, Hao Jian drove his Enzo car, casually chose a road, and sped away while pulling out his phone to call Shu Ya's secretary.

Since Shu Ya left her phone at the company, even Hao Jian couldn't reach her, so he had to rely on her secretary, hoping she knew Shu Ya's itinerary.

When Hao Jian called, the secretary was just about to leave work. Upon receiving the call, she immediately turned back into the office.

She took out Shu Ya's schedule, glanced at its contents, and said to Hao Jian, "Chairman Hao, if there's no delay in the itinerary, President Shu should be at the conference hotel on Bingcheng Road by now, though the meeting should be almost over..."

"Alright!"

Receiving the news, Hao Jian hung up the phone, tossed it onto the passenger seat, stepped on the gas pedal, and the car shot out wildly.

The distance to Bingcheng Road wasn't too far from Hao Jian's location, just over ten kilometers. At his speed, it would only take over ten minutes. He just hoped nothing would happen to Shu Ya during that time.

"I hope my worries are unnecessary..."

Gazing deeply at the world outside the car, Hao Jian slightly shook his head. For some reason, his heart had not settled down, making him quite irritable.

The roaring engine echoed through the streets of Hua City, and when people wanted to see where the sound came from, they found it had already faded into the distance.

Zheng Hai, the first heir of the Zheng Family in Yudu, is always arrogant as the heir, although many people find him unpleasant, they don't dare to confront him.

All because he indeed has the arrogance backed by the Zheng Family. As a family enterprise, the Zheng Family has always been a top enterprise in Yudu over the years, with an implicit trend of becoming the number one family in Yudu.

Just recently, the Zheng Family in Yudu officially allowed the heir to manage the family's industries. In just a month, as the first heir, Zheng Hai showcased his extraordinary abilities.

He not only suppressed various siblings but also led the Zheng Family to accelerate toward the recognition as the top family, exciting the Zheng family.

After all, the Zheng Family has aimed for the top position for years, yet no matter how hard they tried, several other enterprises always competed with them, keeping them in a constant state of tension.

But Zheng Hai's appearance created cracks in their deadlock, and with various ruthless strategies, the Zheng Family left those competing enterprises behind.

Yet, this gap isn't very large, and any negligence would allow opponents to catch up quickly. But for the Zheng Family, gaining even the slightest advantage over these competitors is key.

They can then expand this slight advantage indefinitely, until they completely surpass them, leaving them in the dust.

Meanwhile, the Zheng Family highly values Zheng Hai's ability, as his achievements are evident to all. If not, they wouldn't have assigned Zheng Hai to this position.

They reached the somewhat intimidating Hua City with the aim of securing a business deal.

"Miss Shu Ya, thank you for the meal today. These dishes are ones I've never tried..."

Holding a wine glass, slightly shaking it, the liquid inside swirled faintly. Zheng Hai fixed his eyes on Shu Ya, sitting in front of him, a hint of desire flashing in his eyes.

Such a perfect woman, he was seeing her for the first time today. No wonder in Yudu, stories circulated about the beautiful female CEO of Shu Ya Group. She was indeed as beautiful in person as they said...

"Haha, President Zheng, you're too kind. There's nothing special about this meal, it's just a local specialty of Hua City. I hope you don't mind."

Shu Ya smiled slightly, just the right amount. After saying this, she unconsciously shifted her body. A feeling inside her urged her to leave this man's presence quickly.

But since business was at stake, she couldn't just leave, after all, the Zheng Family's group wasn't a small entity but one capable of competing with Shu Ya Group.

Their business deals now signify how the relationship between Shu Ya Group and Zheng Family Group will be determined. Previously, the two groups had no interactions.

All these matters remain unknown...
