Hao Ren and Han Lingshi woke up from their sleep and they went about their routine. Han Lingshi had began practicing Wing Chun alongside Hao Ren's Jeet Kun Doo. However, the twist in this practice was that they were chanting and thinking about their own cultivation technique mantras.
This appeared to be a small basic thing, but they were trying to sense the spiritual energy and draw it inside their bodies while moving a lot. Such a practice method was slow, but it would provide them with a stable and sturdy foundation.
After the two people finished working out, Hao Mei came inside the gym room, and said, "Ren, Lingshi, can I talk to you both for a minute."
Han Lingshi wiped the sweat on her neck and asked, "What is it?"
Her tone was calm but it still had some distant feel to it. Hao Ren looked at his sister calmly as well, they might not have any ill-will for her in their hearts at the moment, but they were not exactly mellow either.
Hao Mei did not mind the coldness, because she knew it would be . She sighed and said, "I would have gone crazy if you two were to welcome me with your arms open. I understand that you are distant, and I agree with your decision. I did not come here to tell you all that I feel, talk is cheap and some times words cut deep.
I came here to suggest that you both hold back when it comes to consummating the relationship."
Han Lingshi blushed while Hao Ren exclaimed, "Even you are not to ban this?! What is going on?"
Hao Mei rolled her eyes and Han Lingshi pinched his waist hard, causing Hao Ren to wince. The former said, "The reason you need to hold back is to strengthen your Vital Yang and Yin energy."
Hao Ren walked up to her and stood with his hands crossed before his chest and asked, "Can you elaborate?"
Hao Mei raised her hand and knocked the back of her two fingers on his forehead as she said, "The vital Yang and Yin energy are the innate elements of a male and female. A normal human feels relaxed and energized when these elements are exchanged on a regular basis, however, if you do it too much, then you become the empty shell of your own self.
When a cultivator exchanges this energy for example at the peak of core formation realm, they have the chance to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. It is like a breakthrough pill."
Hao Ren pinched his chin and Han Lingshi pondered over the explanation before the two of them began to pick on Hao Mei's brain and ask her many questions which she answered patiently.
After an hour, Hao Mei left the house and vanished in the void. Han Lingshi and the young man took a shower, before they came to the dining area, where Old Man Hao was feeding Tang Zen a medicinal concoction.
Xiao Mei who had taken over Grace's body, said, "Boss, Manager Lynn is asking for a meeting. She says there are few things that you need to handle in person."
The young man nodded and said, "I will be going to the office in a bit. Tell her to not worry. Also, umm, contact Lieutenant Xia Yun about a meeting with Commander Gao."
Xiao Mei nodded and then said, "The E-mail has been sent."
The young couple had a light breakfast and Hao Ren greeted his father before leaving for work. Han Lingshi noticed this but she did not say anything. She could understand that he was angry with his mom, and it was their own equation to solve. She greeted both the elders and left as well.
Hao Ren drove her to the Empress International and said, "Well, how do you feel after finding out that you are an indirect descendent of an Empire?"
Han Lingshi smiled and said, "I feel like I can rule the world." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI★Fire.net
Hao Ren nodded and Han Lingshi asked, "How do you feel after finding that your are a rich scion?"
The young man chuckled and replied, "I feel like I can be your minister and general and bring the entire world to you. You know, strong family connections."
Han Lingshi chuckled and the two people got off the car. Hao Ren held her waist as he led her to the elevator and then pulled her close to share a sincere loving kiss. The crowd in the lobby saw this and gasped. When the couple broke the kiss, they had this loving gaze at each other that was like Love Redefined.
Some people could not help but click pictures. Hao Ren suddenly looked at them with his cold gaze and Han Lingshi shook her head as she said, "Everyone, can you all send me a copy of this picture? I will select a favorite and give the photographer a ten thousand yuan bonus. Don't post it on the internet though. Okay?"
The crowd cheered and Hao Ren whispered, "What a generous Empress you are."
Han Lingshi smiled and pecked on the corner of his lips as she replied, "What an iron blooded General you are."
Then she ran inside the elevator with a smile and a faint blush on her face. Hao Ren took a deep breath and shook his head as he waved to her and turned around to leave the lobby to head over to his own company while thinking what a naughty fairy his wife was.
He drove to the Thunder Technologies office in a luxury sedan with Heath and four others following him in a SUV. He came to the reception lobby and June greeted him with a smile as she said, "Shall I inform them all?"
Hao Ren chuckled and said, "Yes, that would be very nice of you, June."
June smiled and replied, "Your wish is my command, President Hao."
Then she began to call the big shots. Today, Hao Ren took the round of the company by stairs, and decided to do a sudden check on the departments. He found they were all working but the atmosphere was not as he had expected.
In his previous life, the tech companies provided an atmosphere that reduced a lot of stress and allowed the employees to produce the man that they could. He thought of something and by the time he came to the conference room, he had drawn up a lot of ideas in his mind.
Hao Ren entered the room and everyone stood up to greet him. Hao Ren smiled and said, "Have a sit, before we begin, I have come up with something special."
The people were surprised, and Hao Ren picked up a whiteboard marker and began to write on the whiteboard behind his chair. He said, "I see that the HR head has been replaced. Good Job finding her, Manager Carter."
Lynn Carter smiled and replied, "Thank you, President Hao."
Hao Ren nodded and turned around after he finished writing on the board and said, "Miss Tanaka, you are young and bright. From what I read on your resume, you are quite a gem. I expect big things from you, and please be assured that you are free to leave as soon as you find something better, but if you tried to follow the example of the old guy in your position, I will make your life, hell.
A young girl nodded her head and said, "I assure you nothing but honesty and excellence."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Then before we get on with the big agenda, I have a few things to announce. First, ten thousand raise in every employee's salary. Regardless of their grade. Understood?"
The people nodded, they did not both with the sudden increase because they were making a lot of money. Hao Ren then said, "Lose the formal dress code. We are a tech company and not stock market. Manager Lynn, please call some designers and have them design the offices in a new and relaxing manner.
Install sleeping pods, reclining massage chairs, and indoor games on the top floor. It will be the new employee's play area. They can used it two hours a day.
Lastly, we need some good coffee in the cafeteria. Please see what we can do about that."
The people nodded heavily, they all agreed with the last one. Hao Ren then explained his idea of creating a friendly ecosystem for the employees, and then said, "Let's begin with the big thing."
Then they discussed the issue of recreating the abandoned industrial zone. They bought off a lot of land there, and now the government has cleared the access for them after extensive negotiations and sensible pleas put up by Mister Leigh.
Hao Ren leaned back in his chair and said, "Find the best designer and ask them to follow the ancient design styles for the schools, colleges, and the Research center, but equip them with the latest security and electronic features. The ceiling should be made of solar panels and erect a roof mounted small turbines in the place. Everything should be recycled and eco-friendly. Got it?"
Lynn Carter nodded and said, "Yes, Sir. I will keep it in mind."
Hao Ren swiveled his chair to look out of the window and said, "How about we make a campus there, and call it the Cloud Campus, the head office of Thunder Technologies?"
The executives all looked at Hao Ren and then at each other as they smiled as Klaus said, "I was thinking about the same thing. Although, you bough Thunder Tech from me and my buddies, we never thought it would become a household name. We are doing something different than the rest of the world, and so, we should not have a tower or a sky scrapper but a campus. Chairman, your mind is so beautiful."
Hao Ren looked at him and said, "I am glad your compliment is limited to my brain only."
Everyone laughed and enjoyed the banter as they prepared for the rise of the Thunder Technologies to another level.
