At this point, Zhang Yuping and Sales Manager Yang Chao were busy coordinating, and after phone notifications, all sales representatives across the company arrived on site at the fastest possible pace. Moreover, 80 distributors also called in, prompting the finance team to prepare thoroughly. Half an hour later, the Dragon King car transaction was proceeding smoothly and efficiently. Zhang Yuping, in her capacity as CEO, was actively directing all staff members—carefully selected by her—each a business excellence, working with high efficiency. Didn't her husband go about training his younger colleagues to refine their skills and advance their levels? Zhang Yuping drew inspiration from Gao Huang and began training her company's employees, and the results were truly impressive—each staff member became both astute and capable, fully leveraging their unique strengths, often performing the duties of two people simultaneously. As a result, Zhang Yuping, the accomplished female CEO, experienced a remarkable turnaround, as if reborn. With full energy and enthusiasm, she now managed and led the company with exceptional dedication. Soon, a major transaction of 5,000 Sedan King vehicles was successfully closed. The Sinotruk company enjoyed substantial profits, and everyone was delighted. For the first time, Zhang Yuping felt a profound sense of commercial success, and she was deeply pleased. After a busy day at work, she called her parents in Hawaii to report the company's outstanding sales performance. Her parents were thrilled, clapping their hands in admiration of her competence and eagerly asked when she would finally hold a celebration. Zhang Yurong heard this with utter confusion—what kind of joyful event was this? Why didn’t I know about it? Her parents were delighted, saying they had already found the perfect match for their daughter. This only deepened her surprise—her ideal match had always been Gao Liang. Could her parents really know she had always loved Gao Liang? No, first stay calm—let me find out who it is before reacting. So, she remained composed and gently asked her parents. Eventually, they revealed: someone who was far away yet right in front of her, someone she saw every day. It all came together—Yang Chao. Her parents wanted to marry her off to Yang Chao. No way! I don’t share any emotional connection with him, even though he consistently stands up for me in times of need. As she prepared to firmly reject the proposal, her father’s voice came through the radio: “Yurong! Yang Chao is a wonderful young man. My wife and I deeply understand his character and are thoroughly confident in him. He is truly loyal to our Zhang family enterprise. Don’t you think Yang Chao is an excellent man?” Moreover, Yang Chao personally guaranteed us that as soon as he married you, he would devote his entire life to serving the Zhang family. We only have you as our precious daughter—therefore, we need someone like Yang Chao! "Father! My happiness isn't a transaction! How could you say that?" Zhang Yупing disagreed. She had overlooked Yang Chao, who stood right beside her, his face expressing something no one could quite decipher. At that moment, when Yang Chao spoke, he said, "Miss Zhang, I'm truly sorry—perhaps I have unreasonable expectations. But please believe me: if you accept me, I will do everything for you." With that, he half-kneeled on the ground, holding a rose in his hands, and bowed to express his love. Zhang Yупing naturally refused, as Gao Liang held an irreplaceable place in her heart. Yang Chao wasn't foolish—he had long known that Gao Liang was the man cherished in Zhang Yупing's heart. Yet, to win her over, he had his own strategy. Immediately threw a set of photos in front of Zhang YuPing, who was deeply surprised upon seeing them. Oh! It's my husband, so intimately close to an American woman. Wow! My husband is passionately kissing this American woman! Watching them so happy, Zhang YuPing felt a deep pang of jealousy. Husband, why did you come to the U.S. to find me, if you've already found a new love so quickly? You're truly fickle! I don't like fickle men! Though you're very accomplished, I can't bear the fact that after you've already secured me, Ying'er, Dong Jiao, and Chen Yuting, you now have another beautiful woman—especially an American one. No, Daimeng is the moon goddess in the hearts of American people! I won't accept it! I simply can't bear it! Zhang YuPing suddenly fell to the ground. At that moment, Yang Chao's lips curled into a subtle smile. In his heart, he thought: "Ha! Miss Zhang! The beautiful Zhang! Exactly what I wanted! Hmph! I've investigated this thoroughly!" Why is this guy, who already has so many beautiful women, still pursuing this absolutely stunning one? Since Ms. Zhang came to the U.S., I've been desperately eyeing this prime opportunity—when would it finally come my way? I thought we had it locked in, especially since Ms. Zhang’s parents had agreed to marry her within a month. But ever since this young man arrived in the U.S., everything has gone haywire. No, this time, I'm going to seize the moment, make my move, and finally secure it—ideally, turn it into a solid, real marriage! As Diangao thought of this, his eyes sparkled with strategy, and he skillfully tapped into Zhang Yuping’s emotions, elaborating: "Ms. Zhang, actually, the turnaround of Shendragon Automotive has been my achievement!" This statement made Zhang Yuping look at Diangao intently, from head to toe—Diangao had already rehearsed his entire speech, all aimed at winning her heart. "Ms. Zhang, you didn’t send me to investigate secretly, did you? Well, I’ve actually been staging a whole performance—specifically, a public relations campaign! Haha!" Yang Chao, full of pride, made Zhang Yuping widen her eyes: "What's the hype? Do you know how to create hype? What does that mean? Quickly! Quickly explain!" Yang Chao especially loved to display his intelligence in front of beautiful women, believing himself exceptionally brilliant—deeply convinced that women, generally, were physically attractive but mentally shallow and easily fooled. Zhang Yuping shared the same view. In Yang Chao’s eyes, he was actually a flexible, scheming opportunist. He immediately began a video replay on the LCD screen. Zhang Yuping watched as Gao Liang competed against race driver Mike, using Gao Liang’s own company’s Shendragon King sedan, while Mike drove a Ford sedan. Gao Liang had not only won—but had done so impressively. She couldn’t help but cheer for him enthusiastically. Though Gao Liang was known to be quite romantic, somehow, the image of him remained vivid in her heart. For six months now—six months straight—she had been thinking of him, constantly mentioning her husband. How could she simply forget him now? Yet Yang Chao skillfully played on Zhang Yu Ping's psychology, continuing to showcase his own intelligence: "Miss Zhang! Do you think Gao Liang will win? Do you think all the racing experts in old San Francisco, like Mike, will lose? Let me tell you—this entire game has been masterfully orchestrated by me! Though Gao Liang may appear to have won with great flair, behind that success lies the very revival of our Shendragon Company! I've already secured Mike's loyalty—intentionally made him lose! Don't believe me? Ask Mike face to face—he's already received substantial benefits from us!" Yang Chao spoke with the confidence of someone fully justified. As long as he projected that authenticity, he could make the facts appear reversed—Zhang Yu Ping believed him, truly believed him! After all, Shendragon cars were clearly not suited for racing; she had personally tested them against Ford models, and found their technical performance significantly behind. "Well done, Yang Chao! You've brought our company back from the brink! On behalf of the company, I'd like to thank you! Starting today, I'm promoting you to Vice President—your appointment takes effect immediately!" Zhang Yuping immediately issued her appointment letter. Yang Chao, who was always good at maneuvering, was absolutely thrilled—what a win! What a win! Not only did he get a promotion, but he also won the heart of a beautiful woman. High Light! Go die! Zhang Yuping—such a stunning woman—is all mine. I’ve been eyeing her for half a year now. This time, I must act fast. As long as the rice is cooked into porridge, I’ve won. Hmph! Who’s her woman? As long as someone proves capable of securing her, that’s who. Zhang Yuping, I’m taking her. Indeed, from then on, Zhang Yuping not only promoted and entrusted Yang Chao, a capable but somewhat insincere man, but also found him increasingly endearing—every day, Yang Chao would bring her a red rose, which deeply touched Zhang Yuping. Gradually, their relationship grew closer. As for Yang Chao himself, honestly, he was also quite capable and performed well in his duties. Zhang Yuping naturally grew more and more impressed. So, without realizing it, even though she wasn’t sure whether she should love Yang Chao Yang Chao is adept at adapting to his superiors' preferences and goes out of his way to please them, yet he is rigid and domineering with his subordinates, often acting in a self-serving manner—failing to acknowledge the needs of the lower ranks. Nevertheless, the staff find themselves at a loss, since as Vice General Manager, Yang Chao holds full authority to dismiss any employee he sees fit.
