Hao Ren did not care about what the system said to him. It was true that he was still influenced by the exaggeration of fantasy displayed in the novels he had read. The young man decided to train his sight. It was not easy but after a whole day of staring at birds from his balcony, he finally saw a wisp of blue emitting from the bird.
Blue color meant a long life and harmony. Hao Ren almost jumped back on his feet. However, the stinging pain in his ribs made him realize the reality and he woke up. Hao Ren slept with a content smile on his face uncaring towards the fact that the internet was buzzing with the success of Koro -Koro.
...
The next morning, Hao Ren woke up and washed up. He was just about to eat some cereal when the phone rang. He saw it was Lynn Carter. He said, "Xiao Mei, put it on speaker."
The call came through, "Boss, we have a situation."
Hao Ren raised his brow as he sensed the urgency and panic in her voice. He asked, "What could make you fluster so early in the morning, Miss Carter?"
Lynn Carter replied, "There is a group of people on the internet who claim that we are a black hearted company and that we are selling cheap stuff with an expensive label to rake profit."
Hao Ren frowned and did not panic because such a thing was obvious, competitors would often resort to smearing people. The hundred million yuan profit had made them envious.
Hao Ren replied, "Its not a big deal. They are just trying to ride the wave and gain popularity without any basis to flex."
Lynn Carter took a deep breath and said, "If that was the only reason, I wouldn't have been worrying, but a lawyer from Civil Court of people welfare just came over and served us with a show cause notice. They want to know what we are doing with the money."
Hao Ren furrowed his brow and asked, "Since when did the Court of welfare began to question people about their income?"
Lynn Carter replied, "Someone filed a public appeal against us."
Hao Ren raised his brows and said, "Fine, I will look into it, send me the copy of the document also, the charity we registered, I want the certification and everything legal about it. Since they wish to know what we are doing, I will gladly tell them what we are doing."
Lynn Carter nodded and said that she will send over all the details in a bit. Hao Ren disconnected the call and said, "Xiao Mei, find me the person who filed this application and also what motivated him to do so."
Xiao Mei replied, "Alright, Boss."
Hao Ren was pissed off, but he did not lose his temper it wasn't right for him to panic or get angry over something that could be solved. People who make such moves were akin to foxes. They would be cunning and to hunt down a fox, the hunter needed patience.
As he was thinking what to do, Han Lingshi sent him a video call invite. He smiled and got on the call, and saw a new face that surprised him. The girl was pretty but she lacked the maturity that Han Lingshi had, he asked, "Who are you and how did you get this phone? Did you do anything to Han Lingshi?"
His tone was stern and he was worried, however, the girl was shocked too, only for a second before she chuckled and said, "Hahaha, Big sis, your friend is a bit too paranoid."
She paned the phone to the side and Han Lingshi appeared in the frame, she seemed to be driving and said, "Lingxue I have told you not to mess with him. Ren, this is Lingxue, my little sister."
Hao Ren let out a sigh and said, "Say, do you remember that I am injured and this simulation is not a good thing for me?"
Hao Ren found that they were listed at the fifth position in the country, had many branches, but they had strict standards for their employees, and also they generated less revenue.
Hao Ren contacted the person who was responsible for handling the Thunder Tech cases. He asked, "Hello, is this Attorney Leigh?"
A calm voice sounded from the other side, "This is Leigh, who am I talking to?"
Hao Ren introduced himself and said, "Sir, we have been served with summons from the Civil Court Of Welfare. Can you look into it?"
The man on the other side replied, "Mister Hao, it is my job to do so, can you forward me the document?"
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Yes, I am sending you all the documents I found important now, and if you need anything else, you can contact the company office."
The lawyer agreed and things were kicked into motion. Hao Ren stood up and said, "Okay, so time to go and get some assets."
Hao Ren changed into a set of decent clothes and took the elevator downstairs. He had Xiao Mie tell Heath to be ready. The man was wearing a tight fight black polo shirt and cargo pant. Hao Ren smiled and said, "Mister Heath, you sure take your job seriously."
The man smiled faintly and nodded. He asked, "Where are we heading sir?"
Hao Ren said, "The stone gambling market."
Heath was surprised, he did not expect Hao Ren to have such inclinations. In the past few days, he saw the young man working hard and thought that he might be different from other young masters. However, here they were, Heath was a soldier in his youth so he disliked those who did not have any discipline.
Hao Ren looked at him and said, "Brother Heath, you don't have to think so much, I am not going there to gamble, but for personal business."
Heath shook his head and said, "Whatever you do, it is not my business, Sir."
Hao Ren shook his head and sat down in the co-pilot seat. Heath got inside and Hao Ren said, "Do you know who operates the Vanity Jades and Jewels?"
Heath shook his head and Hao Ren said, "Han Yuntian. He is the person who owns one of the biggest shop in the jade city. How does he extract Jade?"
Heath replied, "By cutting the raw stones."
This was how everyone did it and it was common knowledge. Hao Ren nodded and said, "The raw stones stock is where the real jewels are hidden. Han Yuntian allows people to come in and bet on stones, then if someone cuts open a jade he would offer a fair price to buy it. However, what do you think will happen if all of his jade stone was cleared out?"
Heath was surprised but then he said, "How can someone clear out all his jade? Do you have something that can see through the layer of rock? I think they do not allow people to use machines."
Hao Ren smiled and said, "You will see what I mean, Brother Heath. There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense, and I happen to be one of them."
Heath shook his head as he drove the car. Hao Ren did not mind the man doubting him, if not for the fact that he had Yin-Yang eyes, he won't have dared to make such a blatant move. Han Yuntian wanted to move on the path of exclusivity. However, Hao Ren wanted to destroy him and his exclusivity.
After an hour, they reached the jade market. Hao Ren stood at the entrance of the fabled Jade Street with a pair of sparkling eyes, today he met his cousin-in-law, and now he was going to meet the other one. He mumbled, 'Cousin in-law I hope you will like my gift.'
