Chapter 283: Chapter 282 Framing and Entrapment (Three More)
Purple Joy Star, in the Chairman’s office of Dream Chasing Media.
Wang Hao sat in the Chairman’s seat, with Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, his two subordinates, standing behind him like left and right protectors.
Opposite them stood a middle-aged woman. However, she was very fashionably dressed and well-maintained; she looked no more than thirty and exuded a mature charm.
This woman was the Chairman of Dream Chasing Media, Qin Xiangxue, a well-known powerful woman on Purple Joy Star.
“I wonder what brings Marshal to our Dream Chasing Media?” Qin Xiangxue asked with a smile, but her heart was full of uncertainty; she simply couldn’t figure out why a young Marshal would come to their company for no reason.
Wang Hao smiled faintly, “You identified me so quickly, it seems your media company is quite extraordinary!”
Qin Xiangxue laughed out loud, “Marshal, you jest. This is our bread and butter, and besides, when your identity became known, with our proximity, how could we not be aware?”
Wang Hao nodded and got straight to the point, “I’m here today to acquire your Dream Chasing Media.”
“Acquire!?” Qin Xiangxue’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and then she chuckled softly, “Marshal, please don’t joke. We need to report major news every day, and we manage many people; it’s a thankless and unprofitable business. Someone of your status wouldn’t be interested in this line of work, right?”
“Whether it’s suitable or not, that’s my business and none of your concern.” Wang Hao snapped his fingers.
Qian Wanyang nodded and quickly pulled out a check, handing it over to Qin Xiangxue.
“Three million interstellar coins!?” Seeing the check, Qin Xiangxue was completely dumbfounded; their Dream Chasing Media had dozens of branches and was worth at least two billion Yao Tian Coins.
Even if Wang Hao wanted to acquire them, it wouldn’t just be for three million interstellar coins, right?
“What’s wrong? Not satisfied?” Wang Hao said indifferently.
“Marshal, are you trying to force a buyout!?” Qin Xiangxue’s face was cold, and her heart was ablaze with anger. Did he really think she was some commoner to be easily bullied?
If this had been when Dream Chasing Media was first established, she would have had no choice but to swallow the humiliation.
But after years of operating, she had established a wide network of connections. Even if Wang Hao had powerful backing, she was not a sheep to be slaughtered at will.
Wang Hao nodded affirmatively, “That’s right, I intend to force the buyout. If you don’t agree, then I will have no choice but to arrest you and lock you up for espionage, so you can spend the second half of your life behind bars.”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, the two subordinates, were dumbstruck. Not only was their boss going for a forced buyout, but he was also framing her, playing way too dirty for a Marshal, weren’t they?
“You, you…” Qin Xiangxue was so angry her face turned ashen; she had never imagined that the young prodigy, the Military Department Marshal, the second-largest shareholder of Skyfire Company, and the vice-chairman of the Potion Guild, could be so shameless.
With a slap, Wang Hao placed a contract on the table, “Stop stuttering. Sign the contract quickly, take the money, and leave, or wait for me to notify the police, and you’ll end up eating in prison.”
After speaking, he gave Qin Xiangxue a look as if to say she was making a huge profit.
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao hung their heads, unable to watch any longer. They had a premonition that a major incident was about to unfold within the interstellar federation.
Although the nobility might not recognize Wang Hao’s title of Marshal, in the eyes of the common people, it was practically divine. Framing a few commoners was as easy as drinking water for him.
“I’ll sign…” Qin Xiangxue took a deep breath and quickly signed her name on the contract, planning to get out of there first and foremost.
While to the common people the signed contract had a legal effect, to the aristocracy, it was just a piece of paper.
As long as she could leave safely, she would be able to seek help, and then the contract would be absolutely useless.
Wang Hao picked up the contract and murmured softly, “So quick to sign. If I had known, I would have just offered a hundred thousand interstellar coins.”
Hearing this, Qin Xiangxue suppressed a surge of rage and hurriedly left, afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn’t be able to resist slapping the shameless Marshal to death.
After Qin Xiangxue left, Wang Hao called his secretary and asked about Pan Jiayi.
“Pan Jiayi!?” The secretary was stunned for a moment—she had heard of Pan Jiayi.
A top graduate from Tianbei University’s Eleventh Branch, she hadn’t been at the company long, but because of her standout interviewing skills, she always managed to report on major news, quickly making a name for herself among the hundred thousand journalists.
Could it be that this young Marshal acquired Dream Chasing Media because of Pan Jiayi?
At the thought, envy, jealousy, and hatred filled the secretary’s eyes. To be admired by such a young and promising, handsome and dashing Marshal was enough to make any woman blush with a racing heart and weak knees.
…
At this moment, Pan Jiayi was in the journalist office hall, furiously organizing the materials she would report on the next day.
She had received a tip about a big scoop outside, but instead, she ended up seeing Wang Hao, that stinking hooligan. If she hadn’t run fast, she probably would have been packed up and taken away by that big lecher.
Around Pan Jiayi, a circle of male creatures were trying to curry favor.
“Jiayi, what’s wrong!? Who made you angry!?”
“Tell me, and I’ll definitely make them pay.”
“Is it because the person you interviewed earlier didn’t cooperate with you?”
“How about we go out for dinner tonight? My treat.”
“What dinner? The food outside isn’t clean. Why not come to my place, I’ll cook for you.”
“…..”
Pan Jiayi sighed and said helplessly, “Don’t crowd around here; I still have work to do.”
The male creatures laughed but not a single one intended to leave. After all, she was a high-educated, beautiful girl, fresh out of University, notably naive and easy to deceive.
Shaking her head, Pan Jiayi then curiously asked, “Someone just asked me why the character ‘bite’ should be read as two words—what does that mean?”
As soon as she finished speaking, all the male creatures showed a knowing smirk, growing even more zealous in their flattery.
“Wow, high achievers are truly incredible; now I finally get it. Not only are they great at taking exams, but they also have a knack for playing the innocent to attract wolves…” a very fashionably dressed woman walked over and said sarcastically.
Her name was Lin Mengmeng, recognized as Dream Chasing Media’s number one seductive beauty, pursued by all the men in the company.
But ever since the arrival of the high-educated, beautiful, and well-proportioned Pan Jiayi, everything changed. The men who used to orbit around Lin Mengmeng now flocked to Pan Jiayi.
No matter how you looked at it, Lin Mengmeng found Pan Jiayi unacceptable.
Just then, a manager hurried over, loudly exclaiming, “Quiet, everyone! The new Chairman has arrived!”
“The new Chairman!?” The crowd was stunned.
The manager explained, “Chairman Qin has just sold Dream Chasing Media.”
The male creatures were shocked and quickly returned to their desks, tidying up their messy things, hoping to make a good impression on the new Chairman.
“Is the new Chairman a man or a woman!?” the women eagerly asked.
The manager blurted out, “A man!”@@novelbin@@
The women’s eyes lit up; they immediately took out their mirrors to touch up their makeup. They pulled their necklines as low as possible, then stood with chests out and heads held high, waiting for the inspection of the new Chairman…
What do you think?
