Chapter 689: You Have to Learn Time Management!

Since it was a call, Little Deeny’s voice revealed the caller right on time. “Master, it’s Tang Jing.”

As Su Yang closed the door, he said, “Answer it.”

Then, the call connected and Tang Jing’s gentle voice came through the earpiece. “Xiao Yang, are you free tonight?”

Su Yang thought about it. ‘I don’t seem to have any plans tonight.’ So, he said, “I should be available. Why?”

Tang Jing said apologetically, “In that case, I might need you to pick up Xiaomi for me. I have a meeting with Ju Duoduo today, so I won’t have time to pick her up.”

Su Yang asked, “Then, am I supposed to drop her at my place, or yours?”

Tang Jing thought for a moment. “The villa. I might not be home anytime soon, so I wouldn’t want to make you wait for me.”

Su Yang replied, “Sure.”

After agreeing to the matter, Su Yang continued, “Sister Jing, if your meeting tonight ends up being too long, you should just go back to the villa and rest. Plus, it’ll be convenient for you to drive Xiaomi back tomorrow.”

Tang Jing let off a gentle hum in acknowledgement.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang hummed a tune and walked towards the office.

Tang Jing and Tang Xiaomi had been spending less and less time in the villa recently. Hence, Su Yang had not seen Tang Xiaomi for a few days. For some reason, Su Yang missed her. ‘Whenever Xiaomi’s by my side, there would definitely be more laughter.’

As he wandered in his thoughts, Su Yang arrived at the office.

When he arrived at the office building, Su Yang went upstairs. The receptionist was already seated at the front desk, preparing to welcome any guests.

She was wearing a fitting work outfit that accentuated her slim figure coupled with black stockings and a pair of black high heels, making her look fashionable and presentable.

However, in contrast to her dressing, she looked like she did not sleep well last night based on the dark circles around her eyes. Plus, no amount of makeup was able to cover up the signs of her fatigue.

When Su Yang saw that, he smiled and knocked on the table. Then, he asked, “What’s wrong? Have you not been able to rest well recently?”

When the receptionist heard the knocking on the table, she quickly looked over. When she saw that it was Su Yang, she quickly stood up and said, “Mr. Su.”

Then, Su Yang gestured for her to sit down.

As she obediently sat down, her face seemed to have turned a little red, which Su Yang thought was pretty cute.

Therefore, he did not reprimand the receptionist. Instead, he asked, “What did you do last night? You seem very exhausted, it’s even showing in your eyes.”

The receptionist said in embarrassment, “Mr. Su, please don’t misunderstand. I have dark circles under my eyes because I stayed up late to watch a drama. It has nothing to do with any late-night activities.”

Su Yang asked, “What kind of drama is it that has such a magical effect?”

The receptionist then said, ” It’s “My Name Is Yu Deshui”. It’s a rather popular online drama recently, but it’s a little tragic.”

Su Yang nodded. “No wonder.”

Then, Su Yang said, “Don’t stay up too late anymore. Take care of yourself and learn time management. I’m not actually concerned about you, but you do represent the company’s image.”

The receptionist quickly nodded. “Yes, Mr. Su. I won’t do it again.”

Su Yang nodded and was about to head to the office. However, after taking two steps, he turned around and asked, “By the way, do you watch variety shows?”

The receptionist nodded. “Yes.”

After answering, she probably felt like it wasn’t a good idea to say she was watching a variety show just after being criticized today, so she quickly shook her head. “Um… No, I don’t.”

Su Yang smiled. “It’s fine. It’s good to watch variety shows too. I’ll recommend you to one, “Produce 101″.”

The receptionist asked in confusion, “What variety show is this? I’ve never heard of it before.”

Su Yang replied, “It’s a female talent show that’s going to be broadcasted soon, so you’ll be able to watch it then.”

Su Yang smiled and walked into the office after the receptionist replied, “Oh, oh.”

On the other hand, Su Yang was not fooling the receptionist, “Produce 101” was indeed going to be broadcasted soon. In fact, they had already started their publicity campaign.

Ever since Mei Yue participated in the program, Su Yang and the company had completely lost contact with them. After all, this program was a closed recording, so no one could communicate with the outside world.

Even if they were eliminated, they had to continue to stay on the show until all of the show’s episodes were broadcasted.

For the sake of the show’s effect, the requirement of not allowing any leakage was actually very strict. However, the other party was Penguin Pictures, who had a strong person backing them. Hence, their bargaining power was strong, not to mention that Penguin Pictures was responsible for all the expenses.

When Su Yang found out about this, he suspected that at least 100 million yuan out of the 600 million yuan production fee for the show was spent on food and lodging for the hundreds of people.

Thankfully, although the program team did not allow the trainees to contact the outside world, they had informed the various companies about the situation in real time. For example, when the program would be broadcasted, or how many rounds of competition would be held.

However, if they wanted to know the inside story and the actual rankings… Too bad, they are just going to have to find out on TV.

That was why Su Yang was also looking forward to the show. He was curious about the performance of this young lady whom he thought highly of.

After that, he walked into his office and pushed the door open, instantly hearing the sound of a keyboard being tapped. Then, Su Yang looked up and saw Chu Xia in his office, writing her story diligently.

‘Right now, she’s treating this place more and more like her own office. She comes in on time everyday and leaves on time. Plus, whenever I’m not around, she even knows that she can open up the safe and take out the [Squid That Didn’t Like To Dive] to buff herself.’

Every time he saw her skillful movements, Su Yang would have a feeling that she was a cat that he had been keeping at home who had grown used to her home. ‘I was obviously the one who prepared this special item especially for her, yet within just a few days, she’s managed to find out how she’s able to turn the buff on and off on her own.

‘Scary…’

Hearing the office door open, Chu Xia typed a few more words before stopping her dancing hands to look at the door.

When she saw that it was Su Yang, she smiled. Her eyes were curved like two rainbows. “Good morning, Mr. CEO…”

Every time he saw Chu Xia’s smile, Su Yang felt like he was healed. Hence, he couldn’t help but smile as well. “Morning, Chu Xia. You’re writing your novel so early in the morning today?”

Chu Xia nodded and said with slight grievance, “That’s right. What else can I do other than writing? After all, my readers are requesting to read it everyday.”

As Su Yang walked to his desk, he asked, “Then, do you authors not have any time off?”

Chu Xia spread out her hands and said cutely, “Time off? What’s that? Only useless people within the society take time off!”

“So, how could a talented writer like us enjoy time offs?”

“If we do take time off, what are our readers going to read? They’d be so bored without something to read!

“So… I’m proud of my work!”

With that, Chu Xia stretched out her arm and made a gesture to motivate herself. Then, she leaned over the computer again and started “dancing” away again.

Su Yang was stunned by her cute look…

‘Is she… Hypnotizing herself?

‘God, that’s so pitiful.

‘Authors like herself really do have it rough these days.

‘If I’m a reader, I would definitely treat them better.’

After he was done lamenting, Su Yang returned to his chair and took out his glass screen. Then, he started his daily routine… Daydreaming.

However, he was not thinking aimlessly today, but had one thing focused on his mind… ‘I seem to have a large sum of money in Mr. Shen’s bank… Should I have it transferred?’

…

At the same time, Cao Qiguang was sitting in his office in the Golden Trade Building at Lujiazui, reading a report with a frown.

The report contained Su Yang’s life and recent history, all the way from the launching of his intermediary business to merging with Junqing, to “acquiring” health supplements company, a management agency, a film company, a technology company and finally, getting a piece of land at a low price. All of that obvious information was clearly written in the report.

Ever since Su Yang beat up Cao Qiguang yesterday, Cao Qiguang had his men had gathered information about Su Yang.

Within his circle, Cao Qiguang had actually heard of this Shanghai tycoon before. However, most of the rumors were about Su Yang being ranked on the list of tycoons and having a net worth of billions of yuan. Apart from that, he did not know much else.

After reading the document, Cao Qiguang had a clear understanding of Su Yang as someone who had started from scratch.

Coincidentally, Cao Qiguang could also be considered to have started from scratch, so he knew how difficult it was to do so. Hence, he knew that Su Yang must also be someone capable to be able to do this successfully.

Therefore, Cao Qiguang did not dare to underestimate such a capable enemy, nor did he dare to treat him lightly. After that, he looked at Su Yang’s name on the report and pondered for a moment before taking out his phone and making a call.

“Du… Du… Du… Du…”

The call connected very quickly.

Cao Qiguang said into the phone, “Hello, is this Mr. Kong? I’m Cao Qiguang from Xinli Education.”

On the other end of the phone call was a middle-aged man with a loud voice. “Oh, Old Cao. What’s wrong? What brings this phone call today?”

Cao Qiguang smiled and said, “Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to ask you about someone. Do you know who… Su Yang is?”

Su Yang’s name was clearly unfamiliar to Mr. Kong as he pondered for a moment before saying, “Oh… I seem to have some impression of him. He’s an outstanding entrepreneur in Baoshan District. I seem to recall that he had some kind of collaboration with us, didn’t he?”

Cao Qiguang said, “Yes, that’s right.”

Cao Qiguang probed, “The thing is, Mr. Kong. I’ve gotten into some conflict with him.”

He only briefly mentioned it. Then, he said something that had nothing to do with what had just happened, “You see, Xinli Education is recently going through an expansion, so… We need a huge loan, which should be three times more of his. You can choose the collateral, whether it’s shares or properties. As for interests… As long as it’s not too high.”

Even though Cao Qiguang’s words were vague, he believed that Mr. Kong could understand what he meant. ‘I’m going to entice him with some benefits to reclaim Su Yang’s loan with him.”

Furthermore, Cao Qiguang was very confident in himself about this matter.
