Chapter 580: Chapter 579 "Aren’t you just a junior consultant?

Of course, whether to engage with it or not was one thing, but there should always be a process of verification, right?

So, Wang Hao took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Bai Yaning—

Wang Hao: "Muah, are you busy? I want to ask you something."

Bai Yaning: "Yeah, I’m playing golf with dad, what’s up?"

Wang Hao: "I saw someone today who said they talked business with you about a two hundred million deal and even took a photo with you. Is that true?"

Bai Yaning: "Business deals around two hundred million are usually managed by the middle and lower-level managers in our family, so there’s no way they would come directly to me. Besides, usually apart from fans, I rarely take photos with anyone. Oh, now that you mention it, I do remember something. During the film festival a few days ago, there was this super enthusiastic fan who waited outside my door for almost a week just to take a photo with me. He said he was my die-hard fan, and I felt bad, so I obliged and took a photo with him."

Wang Hao looked at Li Qiang: "Was it a guy with slicked-back hair that shone like it was greased, dressed like he’s something else, about one meter eighty-two tall, and looked pretty much like a wealthy young master?"

Bai Yaning: "Sounds like him. I don’t remember his clothes, but his slicked-back hair certainly made an impression on me."

Wang Hao: "Ah, I see. That clears things up, hmph, this guy is really pulling a fast one, flaunting your name to deceive people."

I mean, it’s just like our Ice Princess’s temperament, how could she just take a photo with anyone? This Li Qiang really did put in some effort...

At that moment, Li Qiang was bragging: "You have no idea, I waited outside Miss Ice Princess’s hotel for a whole week! And finally, I got the chance to meet her! Ah, the aura of the Bai family is truly different! Hey, look, look, when I stood next to Miss Ice Princess, can’t you see how nervous I was? I kept almost a meter’s distance from her!"

By now, Li Qiang had already bamboozled everyone there. After all, over the years there really weren’t many people who could produce a photo taken with Bai Yaning, especially since Li Qiang’s words were half-true and half-false. If Wang Hao had not been so close to Bai Yaning, he almost would have believed it himself!

"Really? Little Brother Li certainly has guts!" Li Huachao exclaimed: "Brother, you’re someone who does big things!"

"It seems Mr. Li has some skills," Sister Wang also got taken for a ride. Now that Li Qiang had fabricated ties with the Bai family, she really couldn’t insist too much on settling accounts.

"This..." Even Liu Quanyou started to feel deflated. It had to be said that once the Bai family was involved, things became difficult; even if he didn’t give Li Qiang face, he couldn’t afford to offend the Bai family.

Everyone present had their own thoughts, while Wang Hao sent Bai Yaning a short video.

Bai Yaning: "Yes, that’s him. He really knows how to talk, seems like he’s been quite successful playing the con artist."

Wang Hao: "Yeah, so what do you plan to do now? He’s using your name to scam people. Tell me what to do, and I’ll handle it!"

Bai Yaning: "Well, just tell him to stop scamming people. You handle the rest."

Wang Hao: "You got it!"

Hehe, kid, if you were just racking up debts, that would be one thing, but using our Muah’s name to scam people? That’s something I absolutely cannot tolerate!

You’ve brought this on yourself, don’t blame me now!

"Mr. Li, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to flaunt someone else’s flag?" Li Qiang was in the middle of his swaggering tale when Wang Hao, who had been quietly observing his phone until now, finally spoke up: "Is the flag of Miss Ice Princess so easy to fly?"

"How can you speak like that? What do you mean by ’waving a tiger’s skin as a banner’?" Li Qiang was immediately displeased when he heard this, "The photo of me and Miss Ice Princess is right there, it’s genuinely credible, something even children and the elderly can’t deny. Everyone saw it just now, it’s not Photoshopped, is it? The location isn’t wrong, right?"

At this, with a young man suddenly speaking up, the other executives in the room quickly intervened to play peacemaker, "Young man, don’t be impulsive. Look, Little Brother Li’s photo is here, and he has been abroad for so long, he must have gone to discuss a collaboration, right?" "Yes, Miss Ice Princess doesn’t just pose with anyone for photos, that photo isn’t fake, I looked at it carefully several times just now." "I understand how you feel, but perhaps we can extend the deadline for a few days..."

Liu Quanyou, watching Wang Hao talk from the side, really did start to hesitate.

After all, he had witnessed the miracles of Wang Hao firsthand, but now with the Bai family backing Li Qiang, things were getting tricky.

"Master," Liu Quanyou secretly signaled to Wang Hao with his eyes, "Are you confident?"

"Relax," Wang Hao gently patted the back of Liu Quanyou’s hand, then turned to regard Li Qiang with a teasing tone, "Mr. Li, I have no doubt that the photo is real. What I’m questioning is the identity you used to take the photo with her. As far as I know, Miss Ice Princess is quite protective of her fans. If you were to wait outside her hotel for a week as a fan, I believe she might just agree to take a photo with you, right?"

As soon as Wang Hao said this, the room fell silent at first, and then it burst into an uproar!

"That’s right, Li Qiang! Come clean, what’s the deal?"

"Exactly, did you really go to discuss a collaboration, or did you just get a photo as a fan with the sole purpose of coming back to scam us?!"

"Speak up! What’s going on?!"

Now that the hornet’s nest had truly been stirred up, Li Qiang looked at the people around him and desperately explained, "Didn’t I say I went to discuss a collaboration?! Why won’t you believe me?!"

"Discuss a collaboration?" Wang Hao chuckled coldly, "What collaboration are you talking about? What project? How much money do you plan to invest? Where is this money coming from? Shouldn’t you explain this to us?"

"I..." Before, Li Qiang had been fully confident he could bamboozle everyone present, but in truth, his lies weren’t easy to puncture.

Unfortunately, he hadn’t accounted for the relationship between Wang Hao and Bai Yaning...

In fairness, it wasn’t his fault, even if Wang Hao now stood in the middle of the street and shouted, "I am Bai Yaning’s boyfriend," it’s likely that nine out of ten people would think he was a madman. The last one might just knock him out cold with a blunt object and send him to a hospital...

"The project I’m investing in is..." Li Qiang was sweating profusely. The questions Wang Hao asked were incredibly tricky, and he couldn’t come up with answers on the spot. Suddenly, his eyes darted, and he said, "I just remembered I have something else to do. Brothers and sisters, please enjoy your meal, I can’t accompany you! Next time, I will definitely treat you!"

As he said this, he tried to make a run for it, but a single sentence from Wang Hao made him stop in his tracks!

"Thinking of running?" Wang Hao snorted coldly, "It seems you’re obviously unclear about my identity. With me here, where can you run?"

"You’re just a little consultant, right?" Yu Fang finally bared her fangs at this point, "If we want to leave, what can you do? You think I won’t sue you for sexual harassment?"

"A little consultant?" Wang Hao stood up with a smile, then looked at Li Qiang and Yu Fang, "Well, that’s actually just one of my minor identities."

"Right!" This time, Liu Quanyou also stood up, "Let me formally introduce you to my friend here. His real identity is the one hundred and eighth descendant of Master Ghost Valley!"
