Chapter 219: Chapter 222: An Inexplicable Feeling_1

Yang Gang smiled and said, "Xuexue’s mother, Sister Xue Lei."

"Sister Xue Lei?" Gu Xiaorou was somewhat surprised and asked, "Does she know anything about a broker’s work?"

"Everyone has to start somewhere. I once promised to find a job for Sister Xue Lei. Besides, I think she is quite suitable for being a broker," Yang Gang explained.

"Hmm... finding a job for Sister Xue Lei," Gu Xiaorou stared at Yang Gang and then asked, "Did Sister Xue Lei quit her previous job because of you?"

Yang Gang began to sweat profusely. This woman knew him too well.

He scratched his head and admitted, "Sort of."

"What was Sister Xue Lei’s previous job?" Gu Xiaorou asked again.

Yang Gang hesitated for a moment, then honestly responded, "A massage therapist."

But he quickly added, "Sister Lei was a legitimate massage therapist."

Gu Xiaorou smiled, "No need to explain, I know you wouldn’t mess things up."

She looked at Yang Gang, fell silent for a moment, and then asked, "Hey, Gang, if you had to choose between Sister Xiaoxi and Yang Fei to be your wife, who would you choose?"

Yang Gang began to sweat again, "Why is this conversation taking such a huge leap?"

He collected his thoughts and responded somewhat scornfully, "Why do I have to choose between these two women? Any middle-aged woman in the world with a daughter could potentially be my mother-in-law!"

Gu Xiaorou’s face darkened a little, and she remained silent.

After a moment, Yang Gang broke the silence with a light-hearted question, "Xiaorou, when are you and Zhang Yu planning to get married?"

Gu Xiaorou rested her chin on her hand, turned her face to the window, and casually replied, "Who knows when? Probably when Zhang Yu has some free time."

Yang Gang fell silent for a moment before responding, "Erm, Xiaorou, Zhang Yu has been busy out there because he wants to earn more commission to secure a better future for you. This is what good men do. You need to understand his absence. Nowadays, hardworking men like him aren’t common. Look at me, idling away every day..."

Gu Xiaorou glanced at Yang Gang, "Aren’t you also hustling around because of the Yang family’s issues?"

"Er... it’s different for me. As a ’contracted’ member of the Yang family, it’s my duty to help the family." Yang Gang said.

Gu Xiaorou didn’t say anything and fell silent for a while before she asked, "By the way, Gang, why are you suddenly interested in the Yang family’s talent agency? The performance of the Dream Elf Brokerage Company hardly affects the overall performance of the Yang Group."

Yang Gang considered for a moment before responding, "Indeed, the main industry of the Yang family is mining, followed by physical entertainment businesses like bars, KTVs, hotels, and nightclubs, then real estate and joint supermarkets. As a minor branch of the family’s broad entertainment division, the talent agency’s contribution to the overall performance of the Yang Group is almost negligible. It’s practically the worst-performing company among the Yang Group’s dozens of companies."

He paused, glanced at Gu Xiaorou, and then continued, "However, Xiaorou, what do you think would happen if, in such a challenging time for all the Yang family’s businesses, this least hopeful company suddenly exploded with incredible energy?"

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback, "You want to create a ’Butterfly Effect’?"

Yang Gang nodded, "The Yang family is currently missing a breakthrough. As long as we can find one, no matter how slight, it could bring hope to the struggling Yang Group."

Gu Xiaorou looked silently at Yang Gang, then faintly made a bitter smile, "Gang, I’ve never seen you this serious. Feifei, what kind of magic did your Yang family cast on him?"

After she finished speaking, she took a bank card from her pocket, "Gang, there is a billion on this card. Half a billion is from me, Sister Miao, and Sister Xiaoxi. The other half is the money Zhang Yu left with me. Before the situation gets worse, you should first make up for the tax deficit of the Yang Group."

Yang Gang looked at the bank card that Gu Xiaorou handed over with mixed feelings spurring in his heart.

He did not take the bank card.

"What’s the matter?" Gu Xiaorou asked, looking at Yang Gang.

"I... don’t want to use Zhang Yu’s money," Yang Gang said lightly.

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback, "Why not? You guys are brothers, why are you standing on ceremony? Later, I’ll talk to Zhang Yu. I don’t believe he would be reluctant to lend you money."

Yang Gang still felt uncomfortable. He seemed to have a strong aversion to using Zhang Yu’s money, but he didn’t understand why.

After a moment of silence, he said, "I still can’t use Zhang Yu’s money. Zhang Yu works so hard because he wants to provide you a good life, right? I don’t know when I will be able to return this money. I don’t want to affect your happy life."

Gu Xiaorou looked at Yang Gang and calmly asked, "Gang, do you think that if I have this five hundred million, I will be happy?"

Yang Gang was taken aback, raised his head, and looked at Gu Xiaorou, "What do you mean?"

Gu Xiaorou took a deep breath, breathed out, then said calmly, "Let me out of the car."

"Uh... Xiaorou, did I say something wrong?" Yang Gang asked weakly.

Gu Xiaorou smiled, "No. I just remembered that I have something else to do."

"Oh."

Yang Gang didn’t seem suspicious as he stopped the car and Gu Xiaorou got out.

Watching Yang Gang drive away, Gu Xiaorou gave a bitter smile.

"Since falling in love with this man, my life has been tinged with tragedy. There’s no cure for it, where should I go?"

...

On the other side, Yang Gang drove to a courtyard in the suburbs. Not long after, Tong Xin and Murong Liuli arrived.

The yard wasn’t large, its total area was only about a thousand square meters, with two rows of pavilions standing on the left. This was the home of Dream Elf Brokerage Company, one of Yang Family’s businesses.

At the entrance of the courtyard, a security guard lazily sat on a chair, tinkering with his mobile phone. The lawn in the yard was not maintained and had become a wild grassland.

The guard seemed to notice the arrivals, looked up, didn’t recognize Yang Gang, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Then, a middle-aged woman ran out of the building.

"Young Master Yang, what brings you here?" The middle-aged woman seemed surprised, she paused, then asked, "Could it be that Young Master Yang is planning to sell Dream Elf?"

There was no sadness in her eyes, in fact, there was anticipation.

Yang Gang glanced at the middle-aged woman coldly: "Are you Tao Mei, the manager of Dream Elf Agency?"

"Yes." Tao Mei looked at Yang Gang, then asked again: "Young Master Yang, who have you sold Dream Elf to?"

Yang Gang gave a cold laugh: "I’m sorry, but I have no intention of selling Dream Elf."

Tao Mei was taken aback: "Then Young Master Yang, why are you here today?"

"To give you a golden egg and see if you can hatch it into a phoenix." Yang Gang motioned Murong Liuli forward.

Tao Mei glanced at Murong Liuli, but didn’t see anything special about her. Though she was very pretty, there were many pretty girls out there, but not every pretty girl could become a star.

In Tao Mei’s eyes, Murong Liuli had obviously gotten in through connections or unwritten rules.

Yang Gang knew what Tao Mei was thinking, but he didn’t explain anything.

Murong Liuli could only radiate her brilliant light on the stage, in front of the camera.

She was a born stage queen.

"Has the agency received any audition requests for advertisements recently?" Yang Gang asked.

"No. Young Master Yang, since Moli left, our agency really hasn’t had any marketable talent... Ah, actually, there is one."

Tao Mei seemed to remember something: "But, Young Master Yang, that is just a television advertisement case from a small company, to be aired on local stations. The total contract value is merely 10,000, and it even requires audition selection. Even if Dream Elf is in a dire situation, it is still part of the Yang conglomerate. This small sum of money is really an insult to us!"

"Bring me the advertising contract, I want to see it," Yang Gang said indifferently.

"Okay." Tao Mei went back to her office and brought out a document with advert details.

Yang Gang took a look and a faint smile appeared: "Manager Tao, give the clients a call. We will go for the audition."

"Ah?" Tao Mei was stunned: "Young Master Yang, who are you planning to send for the audition?"

Yang Gang pointed at Murong Liuli: "Her, Murong Liuli. Manager Tao, let’s go together later."

Tao Mei was skeptical.

"This girl named Murong Liuli has a stiff expression. She does not look like someone who could work as an advertising model. Even if she goes, it’s likely she’ll be cut. By then, the already disgraceful Dream Elf Agency would probably be even more humiliated."
