Hao Ren read the speech for a few minutes, before he said, "I can make edits of my own, right?"
Roy nodded and replied, "Yes, sir."
The young man was about to turn his head and look out of the window when his mobile vibrated and he found that it was a message from Xiao Mei, which said, "Boss, you forgot to text Mistress."
Hao Ren took a deep breath and immediately called Han Lingshi back in the Jade Capital.
Han Lingshi was taking a break and asking questions to Gao Yue when her phone rang. She smiled when she saw the caller ID, and picked up the call. She said, "Hello, did you recall to call me only now?"
Hao Ren replied, "It skipped my mind to be honest, Xiao Mei pinged me. I reached the Meridian City safely. What have you been up to?"
Han Lingshi replied, "I am fine, just cultivating. I have a lot of things to learn and so I am picking on Grandma's brain for it."
Hao Ren nodded, and the two discussed a few things before the call disconnected. Gao Yue asked, "Is the situation between him and his parents that bad?"
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "Hao Ren has a pure heart, he cannot hide his true emotions. This is why it will take sometime for him to get over it. However, I am sure that he will manage to overcome it."
Gao Yue nodded and said, "It would be nice if he could do that, because on the path of cultivation, knots of your heart become demons that lurk in the shadow and will attack you at the most crucial of the times."
Han Lingshi nodded and then said, "I will aid him in any manner as I can, but right now, he needs time to process it all."
Gao Yue agreed, she knew that as humans they all had their own thinking and it was necessary for them to think on their own.

Hao Ren disconnected the call and his smile vanished. The temperature inside the cabin dropped a little once again. He leaned back in his seat and looked at the city outside the window. Unlike Jade Capital where only the business zone had sky scrappers, this entire city seemed to be made up of glass and steel.
The entire city was filled with sky scrappers, only the area around the airport had restrictions. Hao Ren sighed and thought about the big players in this city. Empress International was one of the major companies in the nation. While Han Lingshi led the company to the top in the Jade Capital, Empress International only ranked among the eight and nine in the Meridian City.
As for Thunder Technologies, Hao Ren doubted if it even had any rank in this place where the public enterprises ruled the stock market and could change the definition of power and capital.
He was not a businessman, he always considered him to be lucky. As he was lost in the thought, the car stopped before the entrance of a five star hotel. After the security checks, the cars were allowed through the gates.
Joe said, "President, there are many dignitaries from the business world that are staying in this hotel, so the security has been tightened."
Hao Ren did not react much, he merely nodded. In his point of view, this was nothing compared to the military cantonment and it was good to have security. After the car came to a stop, the young man got off, and Joe quickly followed him inside. Since they were responsible for the arrangements they had to make sure that everything was good.
Joe had reserved a Presidential Suite for Hao Ren, and he came to the reception to get the key card. The procedure went smoothly, but a few older men standing next to Joe were surprised. They did not expect that someone younger then them was reserving a presidential suite. What shocked them even more was the fact when they looked at Hao Ren.
Joe bowed slightly when he handed over the key card with both hands. Their mannerism could be said to be the best. Hao Ren did not mind the eyes on him anymore, he held his key card and went upstairs with the guards.
As he entered the room, he said, "Two of you can guard and the others can rest and order food for all of us, I will take some noodles and eggs."
The instructions were simple and the guards did what they were told. The food arrived within ten minutes and after having his fill, the young man lay down on the bed to meditate and gradually, he fell asleep.
He was a yellow level cultivator, but even cultivation consumed energy. This consumption was caused by the purification of his body, and to excrete the impurities. He was tired as well. When has Hao Ren ever travelled in an airplane for such a long time? His ears were still ringing.
In the evening, Joe woke him up, and Hao Ren sat up to get ready, he did not forget to call Han Lingshi while taking a shower. She asked him to do a video call so that she will be the first one to see him looking dashing.
The young man wore a royal blue three-piece suit with a black lapel and tie around his neck. He checked in the mirror twice to make sure he was looking fine. Then he put on the new watch that Han Lingshi had gotten him. She knew his taste, but this time she had gotten him the masterpiece from Sigma brand.
It was inlaid with a ring of sapphire around the bezels and the needles were also made from Sapphire, while the transparent body showcased the intricate titanium gears moving together to keep the watch working. The body of this watch was made from Damascus Titanium and was covered in rippling metal patterns.
Hao Ren smiled as soon as he looked at the watch and said, "Thank you Love."
Han Lingshi smiled and replied, "You're welcome, Darling. Now, enough sweet talk, off you go to the big event. I will watch the online broadcast."
Hao Ren nodded and left the room after disconnecting the call. Everyone who saw him knew that this young man meant business.
The event was being held in the reception hall of the same hotel, so it did not take him long to reach the venue. He only took one guard and the two assistants with him to avoid looking conspicuous.
Joe presented the invitation and they entered the hall. There were at least sixty people gathered in the hall. However, when Hao Ren entered the scene, something about him made more and more people turn around and look at him. At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over and asked, "If I am not wrong, you are President Hao of the Thunder Technologies?"
Hao Ren nodded and the middle aged man said, "I am Harvey Skye, organizer of this event."
The two shook hands gently, and Hao Ren sensed a warm current gush through his body.
The system pinged, *Ding: External spiritual energy is detected inside the body, it is recommended that the host does not resist, the concealment skill will handle this situation.*
Instinctively he wanted to resist but at that moment, he stopped after the system's warning.
Harvey Skye took back the hand and said, "President Hao, your appearance does not define your strength."
The man was smiling and Hao Ren replied with a smile too, "I have practiced some martial arts under the guidance of a retired veteran in my hometown since I was little. It is nothing to be praised. We small town boys are build different."
Harvey Skye smiled and nodded before leading him in. Hao Ren knew that he was going to be scrutinized, and a game of hide and seek began.
