Jiayi Group's acquisition and integration by WeiSheng Group caused a stir on the Island of Hong Kong.
The financial news of major media are reported, and the discussion is continuous.
In the tranquility of the half-mountain villa, Yu Yao sat in front of the window, idly swiping her phone, her gaze drawn to a piece of financial news.
The headline of the news prominently reads: "Jiayi Group acquired and integrated by WeiSheng Group, causing shock in the Hong Kong business community."
Yu Yao furrowed her brow slightly, Jiayi Group? The name was not unfamiliar to her.
She remembered that Zhou Jiātóng's father was the founder of Jiayi Group.
Zhou Jiātóng had bribed the underworld to kidnap her, but was instead killed by Chen Zhongyu's men in the Philippines.
People die like lamps go out, and all the grievances and grudges also disappear with it.
At this time, Chen Zhongyuan's acquisition of Jiayi Group is not clear whether it is a purely commercial plan or whether there is a shadow of this incident involved.
She read the news and dismissed it, not giving it much thought.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It seemed that it was a call from Yu Yuancqing.
Yu Yao pressed the answer button and placed the phone to her ear.
"Ayao, have you heard about Jiayi Group being acquired and integrated by WeiSheng Group?"
The voice of youth and clarity came from the phone.
It was Yu Yuancqing.
Yu Yao nodded indifferently, gazing out at the distant sea view through the glass, calmly saying, "I just saw this news and my brother called specifically to ask about it?"
"Haha... Of course not. A while ago, my brother asked you to help him find a job at WeiSheng Group, right? Have you helped him inquire about it?"
In the phone, Yu Yuancqing asked with embarrassment.
"Oh, I forgot about that."
Yu Yao put on an "Oh, I forgot about that" look, and rubbed her head awkwardly.
She really had forgotten about that matter.
"Ayao, how could you forget something so important? How could you forget something like that?"
On the phone, Yu Yuancqing's voice was full of accusation.
"Brother, don't always expect me. WeiSheng Group has been recruiting talent in the financial sector. Why don't you apply for a job yourself?"
Yu Yao spoke into the phone.
"Companies of this size have fierce competition, and my abilities aren't that strong. What if I can't get the job? Ayao, please help your brother?"
Yu Yuancqing pleaded on the other end of the phone.
"Brother, you have to prove your abilities by applying for the job yourself. If I get you into it, everyone will think that you got special treatment. Then how can people see your talents if they don't even know you applied?"
Yu Yao spoke with a heavy heart, gently persuading.
On the phone, Yu Yuancqing's suspicious voice came through: "You're right, but what if I don't get the job?"
It wasn't that Yu Yuancqing looked down on himself, but rather that there were too many talented people trying to get into WeiSheng Group, it could be said that they would bust their heads.
"Brother, how will you know if you can do it if you don't try?"
Yu Yao stifled a laugh and encouraged, "Brother, go ahead and submit your resume to see if you can get the job. If it's really not possible, I'll help you then."
"Okay, I'm reassured with your words."
Yu Yuancqing seemed to be encouraged by her words, and after a few more words, he hung up the phone.
The half-mountain villa is built like an impregnable fortress, and as night falls, the buildings are illuminated with dazzling lights, casting a cinematic quality over the entire structure.
Yu Yao curled up in bed, holding her phone and watching short videos, laughing loudly at the content in them.
When Chen Zhongyuan came in, he saw this scene and his lips curved up with a joyful smile.
He walked towards Yu Yao, sidling up to her and lying beside her, wrapping her in his arms, speaking in a low and affectionate tone, "BB pig, what are you laughing about so happily?"
Yu Yao heard this familiar voice, as well as the faint smell of tobacco on the man's body, without even turning around, she knew who had come back.
"There's nothing. I just saw a very funny video."
She turned off her phone and tossed it aside.
Looking up at the wall clock, she realized that it was already 6:30.
Thinking that they haven't had dinner yet, she reached out and pushed the man next to her, saying casually: "Let's go wash our hands and have dinner. I'm hungry."
The man reached out and rubbed her nose, worriedly saying: "Next time, when you're hungry, eat first without me. I might not be able to come back on time."
"Got it."
Yu Yao smiled at him and got up from the bed, put on her shoes, and went downstairs to the dining room for dinner.
Chen Zhongyuan went to the bathroom.
The ground-floor restaurant.
The dining table was already covered with delicious dishes, each emitting an enticing aroma.
Yu Yao was already hungry, so she didn't wait for Chen Zhongyuan to come down, picking up chopsticks and starting to eat directly.
The head chef in the villa was hired by Chen Zhongyuan at a high cost, and he can cook various regional dishes, so the taste of the dishes is very good.
She ate with relish, her mouth barely able to stop moving.
Yu Yao felt that she had gained weight.
Chen Zhongyuan descended the stairs to the restaurant and saw her eating happily, with a smile curving at the corners of his lips.
The butler, seeing him, opened the chair with great skill, and the man sat down smoothly.
He picked up a piece of the girl's favorite dish and put it in her bowl, dotingly saying, "Eat more if you like it."
"Don't give me another serving. Since I've been living with you, I've gained weight."
Yu Yao pouted and complained, truly feeling that she had gained weight, especially that her waist seemed to have widened a circle.
However, it's also not certain if it's because of pregnancy.
Chen Zhongyuan couldn't help but laugh joyfully, looking her up and down twice, and said seriously: "Where did you get fat? You still look beautiful."
He truly couldn't see where BB pig had gotten fat. Instead, her small face had been nurtured by him to be rosy and healthy, with a natural blush.
The skin was so delicate that it could be seen to squirt water. Her pure facial features had gained a certain allure, and her eyes were full of all sorts of emotions.
Looking at her, he felt the urge to touch, his eyes fixed on her, the dark undercurrents beneath his eyelids surging.
"No big deal, even if you do get fat, I won't mind."
The man smiled and said.
Yu Yao was getting goosebumps from the man's gaze, thinking that since she had moved into the half-mountain villa, she had never had a good night's sleep, usually indulging in nightlife every night.
He wouldn't let her off the hook until the early hours of the morning.
Sometimes in the morning...
Yu Yao knew what the man's eyes meant, so she trembled in fear and quickly looked down to eat.
"Hahaha…"
Chen Zhongyuan was pleased by her appearance and didn't stare at her directly. He lowered his head to eat, looking very elegant.
After dinner, Yu Yao and Chen Zhongyuan took a walk in the garden to digest.
Suddenly, Chen Zhongyuan spoke up, "BB pig, there's something I want to tell you."
"What is it? Go ahead and say."
Yu Yao's steps faltered slightly, and she glanced at him curiously, wondering what he wanted to say to her.
"Your brother sent a resume to the human resources department today. He wants to apply for a position as a financial analyst, which isn't a high-ranking position but requires extensive experience and a deep understanding of the financial market."
Chen Zhongyuan stopped in his steps, staring at her intently, and continued to say slowly: "I've read his resume, and although he has experience, it's not enough. I plan to send him to another position in the financial department to gain some experience."
Yu Yao smiled softly and said, "You can make the decision on this matter. You don't need to ask me, nor do you need to consider my feelings."
Chen Zhongyuan laughed as he pinched her hand heartily, speaking in a low voice, "I'm just telling you this. I'm afraid you might think I don't care about your brother and then complain about me."
"How could that be? Brother has his own abilities, and he should be given opportunities commensurate with his abilities. If he really has talent, he will eventually rise up."
Yu Yao smiled faintly and said.
Chen Zhongyuan nodded slightly, with the same thoughts in mind.
After that, they talked about other things.
After a while of walking around the garden, they went back to wash up and rest.
A few days later, Yu Yuanqing succeeded in entering the financial department of WeiSheng Group. Although he was only a junior staff member in the department, being able to work in such a large company made him very happy.
Moreover, his salary and benefits were very good, several times higher than what he used to earn at the investment company.
On his first day at work, Yu Yuanqing called Yu Yao to share the good news.
"Ayao, I've started working at WeiSheng Group. I got the job myself."
On the phone, Yu Yuanqing's voice was full of pride.
"Brother, congratulations! I knew you could do it. Work hard and keep up the good work. I believe in you."
"Hahaha, that's natural. Tonight I'll treat you to barbecue. Do you want to come?"
"Of course, I'll be there. When and where should we meet?"
"All right, just wait for me to finish work, and I'll send you the location then. I won't come to pick you up; you can drive yourself."
"Got it."
The two quickly ended the call.
In the evening, Yu Yuanqing sent over the address of the barbecue restaurant.
Yu Yao quietly noted down the address.
She made a video call with Chen Zhongyuan, informing him that she and Yu Yuanqing were going to have barbecue and would be late back tonight, so she drove off.
