My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 328 - 216: Every Book Is Itself_2

Chapter 328: Chapter 216: Every Book Is Itself_2

In the information age, especially for those national-level major powers, you’re basically transparent!

The moment you go high-profile, that major power might just casually start a "diligent investigation".

"Hello, please explain your Emperor’s Bloodline."

How am I supposed to explain that?

But, this did remind him of something.

Previously his technical capabilities weren’t up to par, leaving him unable to hide his personal information, but now with Zero...

Seeing that Meng Lang wasn’t responding after such a long time.

Elder Zhang let out a slight sigh.

"Xiao Lang, I know you’re a good kid, and I believe you wouldn’t do anything illegal.

As long as you don’t do anything foolish, Uncle can understand everything else. You don’t have to feel embarrassed about keeping it a secret from the family!"

"Huh?" Meng Lang was a bit confused.

"Embarrassed about what?"

"Look at you, still keeping it a secret from me! I’m asking you, is it that wealthy woman from last time?"

"Ah? Which wealthy woman?" Meng Lang was somewhat perplexed.

"Stop pretending, the one from Xijing Bay who drives a Porsche!"

"Oh! You mean Yan Weiwei!" Meng Lang suddenly realized.

So it was last time when he got a ride home in her car and Elder Zhang saw them?

Seeing Elder Zhang wearing a strange expression, Meng Lang instantly understood and instantly, his face darkened.

Damn it!

All this trouble because he suspected I’ve gone soft?!

Well...

If one were to look at it from an outsider’s perspective.

This was just a short month.

A poor guy like himself suddenly started throwing money around.

Not just throwing money around, but also effortlessly brought a huge investment of 10 million to his hometown...

Meng Lang thought it through carefully and realized this was actually the most reasonable explanation for his sudden wealth...

An investment, huh! Just a little whiff of pillow talk and there it was?

This is really messed up!

Uncle Zhang walked slowly towards the dumbfounded Meng Lang, patted his shoulder, and sighed.

"Ah, Xiao Lang, in the world of adults, every choice has its regrets.

One path is to bear the burdens and move forward, another is to live peacefully...

I can completely understand your decision!

Even if later on you end up with a lower status in the family... cough!

Moreover, that girl’s conditions are excellent, others would be envious, you don’t need to hide, nor do you need to care about other people’s opinions."

I... care about what exactly?!

I earned every single penny with hard work, absolutely not by taking shortcuts!

Meng Lang wanted to explain with a speechless expression, but suddenly, his phone rang in his pocket.

[I loved too foolishly, too naively...]

He answered the call irritably.

"Hello!"

"Xiao Mengzi, where are you? I knocked on your door and you weren’t home. Where did you go?

Alright, alright, I’m not interested in where you’ve gone. I’m just reminding you that this evening’s cruise party is a formal occasion. Everyone present will be a bunch of well-dressed beasts, so don’t you dare show up in your sports outfit.

You’re my date, after all. You represent my face!

If you don’t want to be the center of attention, then pick out a proper suit, got it?

If you’re reluctant to spend the money, I’ll reimburse you when you get back!

That’s it, I’ll pick you up in my car this afternoon, bye!"

"Beep beep beep..."

Meng Lang didn’t even get a chance to speak as the other side rattled off instructions like a machine gun and hung up.

Meng Lang: "..."

Looking at the face in front of him wearing an exceptionally strange color, and seemingly conveying a trace of sympathy, Meng Lang knew that this matter... even jumping into the Yellow River couldn’t clear his name...

"Uh... If I said she’s just my landlord, would you believe that?" Meng Lang chuckled dryly.

"I believe it! Young people living together, I can understand that..."

Uncle Zhang - not sure whether he was relieved or pretending to be - patted his shoulder.

"Last time you told me you wanted to take the high-end route, like getting to know a wealthy woman worth billions, build up a good rapport, then get her to buy insurance.

I thought you were joking, but I didn’t expect...

To prefer forthrightness over subtlety, not aiming for ordinary fish but angling for kings and lords!

Tsk tsk! Your execution has far surpassed my imagination!"

"I..."

Meng Lang suddenly felt the urge to slap himself in the face.

That’ll teach you to run your mouth, telling stories. Now look where it’s got you - in trouble!

"Uncle Zhang! I really didn’t, you’ve really misunderstood!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I misunderstood, okay then!

Don’t worry, I get what you mean, I won’t mention this to Mr. Meng.

But you need to hurry up, you can hide this for a while, but not forever!"

Meng Lang: "..."

How could this get any worse!

Now, not even jumping into the Yellow River would wash me clean, let alone the Milky Way!

[I loved too foolishly and too naively...]

Just then, the phone rang again.

Seeing Elder Zhang peeking around again.

This time, Meng Lang carefully glanced at the caller ID, only to see it was Gao Yuan.

Worried Gao Yuan might let something slip, he quickly picked up the phone and walked aside.

"Hello, what’s up?"

"Hmm! Okay, the usual place..."

After hanging up, Meng Lang glanced at Elder Zhang again and sighed wearily.

"I’ve made plans with a friend, so I won’t stay long."

"What friend? All so secretive!" Elder Zhang was full of gossip.

"Another rich lady!"

Meng Lang looked back at him irritably and slammed the door shut with a "bang!"

Elder Zhang: "..."

...

More than half an hour later, at the cafe.

When Meng Lang arrived at the meeting place, he saw Gao Yuan already sitting across from him, engrossed in a book.

He couldn’t help but scratch his head.

Thinking about it, he really did have a surplus of wealthy women around him; no wonder people got the wrong idea.

Actually, going along with this mistake wasn’t such a bad idea, it saved him the brainpower of finding reasons for social climbing.

When you’re at your wits’ end, who doesn’t get tired...

I admit, I’m defeated by you all and your wild imaginations!

He sighed!

"Sorry, I’m late."

"It’s okay, I was early," Gao Yuan said with a smile, looking up.

After Meng Lang sat down, he noticed two cups of black tea were already on the table.

"Seeing you ordered black tea last time, I went ahead and got you one; if you don’t like it, we can change it," Gao Yuan said, setting down her book.

"No need, thank you!"

What you drink isn’t important; it’s who you drink with that matters.

Gao Yuan smiled at that.

"I called you here today mainly to discuss those two files. The plan is going well, so I wanted to report back to you about the implementation over this period..."

Meng Lang listened quietly as Gao Yuan slowly recounted everything that had happened recently.

Although he had a rough idea of the outcome from the book, hearing it from Gao Yuan’s perspective...

The more he listened, the more he felt like hiring this legendary CEO was worth every penny!

It was just a piece of dirt on Chang Chun Biological, which didn’t seem to have anything to do with Changqing Biological.

He could only think of using the inside information to make a quick buck, whereas Gao Yuan had thought outside the box. Using media strategies, she had managed to ride the wave of publicity for Changqing Biological, even garnering some fame in the process.

Because of Jingsong’s scheme, the company’s financial crisis had become an opportunity to make Changqing Biological’s name known.

Then she even used the stock market to lure out the enemy, taking down her arch-rival in passing!

Turns corrupt into magical!

She nearly maximized the potential of the two files she had received, not only striking at her opponents but also maximizing her own interests!

To be honest, even if he himself had foreknowledge from autobiographies, he wouldn’t dare say he could have done better than her.

Meng Lang glanced at the book she had on the table...

"The Entrepreneurs Who Changed History"?

Tsk tsk! Still enriching herself amid her busy schedule; no wonder her future achievements astounded the world.

A sword forged in ten years of study proves its edge today!

Gao Yuan saw Meng Lang staring at her book and smiled.

"Why, are you interested in this book too?"

"No, no, no, I don’t have the talent for corporate management, I’m just impressed, you really love reading."

"Hehe! Been too busy lately, haven’t had much time to read, can only read whenever I find the time.

I love reading because whether it’s history or biographies, they help me understand myself more clearly.

We read all books, but ultimately, we are reading to find ourselves..."

Meng Lang nodded in agreement.

Right, the ultimate goal of all reading is to find ourselves, but I’m just awesome.

Because every book I read is about myself...
