She collapsed into Hao Liang's broad, strong arms and began to cry. Hao Liang gently stroked Zhang Yurong's flowing hair and softly said, "Ping'er! Never be afraid, no matter what happens! As long as I'm here, you're safe. From now on, whenever you feel afraid, just follow me. But don't worry—I won't make you stay if you'd rather not!" Moved deeply, Zhang Yurong cried out—what a wonderful man! Indeed, she always carried a little self-reserve, the reason for which she couldn't quite explain. Honestly, the most precious things she had always kept carefully, even though she had reserved them for her husband, she had never quite shared with him. "Husband! Stay with me today! Please don't go!" Zhang Yurong pleaded warmly. Hao Liang held her gently by the shoulders, kissed her forehead, and was about to reply when suddenly someone shouted, "Go in! Hurry up and go in!" Gaoliang was taken aback, knowing that the distributors below were in a heated uproar. He smiled at Zhang Yuping and said, "My husband still has things to attend to! Hurry! We must handle these matters swiftly!" Zhang Yuping grew anxious and immediately replied, "Husband! What should we do? I have no idea!" "Ping'er! Let me take care of this!" Gaoliang comforted Zhang Yuping, then turned to Yang Chao, who was still wailing in pain, and shouted, "The one who unties the bell must be the one who tied it! You go explain yourself to the old executive right now—otherwise, I’ll have your jeezus off!" Yang Chao had long known Gaoliang’s strength, and hearing that his jeezus might be on the line, he immediately panicked, pleading, "I’ll go! I’ll go!" The scene shifts to the entrance of Shendong Company. Although the giant bodyguards are able to block the crowd, the people believe they have every right and are determined to push through, becoming increasingly arrogant as they all crowd inward. The bodyguards are completely at a loss—how long has the manager been inside, and still hasn’t come out? What’s going on? At this moment, Yang Chao, whose face is swollen high, stumbles in slowly, his eyes wide and puffy like those of a panda, bowing deeply and pleading, "Please don’t crowd! Please don’t crowd!" One distributor turns to him and questions, "Is Shendong Company committing economic fraud? Hasn’t the key executive already fled overseas? What’s your explanation?" After speaking, he throws today’s *San Francisco Chronicle* at Yang Chao. Under the pressure, Yang Chao can only admit honestly, "This newspaper was arranged by me—through personal connections with the reporters—and specially printed. I distributed it to you specifically to convince you to terminate your cooperation with Shendong Group." Everyone was stunned—how could the Deputy General Manager of Shenlong Group take such a step? Many couldn't understand it, let alone believe that a senior Deputy General Manager like Yang Chao would go this far. Yet, Yang bowed his head and clearly explained that he had done so solely to achieve his personal objectives. Of course, he would never dare to step in for Zhang Yeping's name. High Light's eyes were blazing with anger, his fists clenched tightly, while Zhang Yeping, on the other hand, looked modestly shy, nestled comfortably in the arms of this outstanding man—right before everyone's eyes, she appeared utterly endearing, like a dove in her nest. Now, our female executive, Zhang Yeping, this exceptional campus beauty known for her high standards, truly seemed to be irreplaceable by this accomplished man. Having managed Shenlong Company for half a year, she had already felt worn out; now, with her husband providing strong support, she felt completely at ease. Indeed, High Light made a truly wise decision: "If everyone truly wishes to terminate the cooperation with Shenlong Company—" You can step forward—this is everyone's freedom! We absolutely will not compel you! But please remember: behind Shendragon Group lies a powerful financial consortium. Simply glance at the list of the top ten outstanding enterprises in China, and you'll see that our Wuyu Chengshen Group boasts substantial resources and formidable strength—fully capable of supporting Shendragon Group's ambitions! Moreover, our Shendragon series of sedans are continuously being refined, and we are now developing a new sports car with significant international potential—the Shendragon Skyrunner sports car, which is already capturing the hearts and minds of Americans nationwide, generating immense excitement and enthusiasm! Because they knew that our company, Yin Wu Group, was one of the top three most powerful corporate groups in China, with numerous subsidiaries—indeed, even Longfeng Hall Industrial, which recently went public in the U.S., was a part of its overseas subsidiary network. With such a strong corporate backbone, the future of Yin Wu Group was truly limitless. Just one sentence from Gao Liang completely convinced everyone. Her wife really has a special touch—her voice has grown so soft and pleasant, especially that little "ma" sound, so sweet and delicate, it's making Highlight's heart flutter. So, with a smile, he said to Zhang YuPing, "Wife! Where are we going tonight? Don't worry—I'm going to have you for dinner!" "Ah-ha!" Zhang YuPing covered her mouth with a charming little laugh, her face glowing with such adorable warmth—like the blossoms of peach trees—so pure, romantic, and innocent, just like the kind of smile one sees at Hanshai No.1 Middle School. Highlight especially loved seeing Zhang YuPing smile like this. Such a beautiful wife—she never seems tired no matter what she does. Great! Since she's invited me, I'll just follow. What does it matter? Let's see where she's taking me! Zhang YuPing kept holding Highlight's hand as they walked forward, and when they reached the main street, the city was already brilliantly lit, the roads bustling with traffic, the streets shimmering with colors, creating a magnificent night scene. A fragrance filled the air. Zhang Yuping held her husband's hand, sniffed gently with her small nose, closed her eyes, and gazed up at the sky with deep enjoyment, murmuring, "It's so fragrant! I've never smelled anything like this before!" "Yuping! If you like it, I'll buy you some!" Gao Liang also noticed the scent. Zhang Yuping shook her head and said, "This fragrance—there isn't a single place in San Francisco that has it!" Gao Liang replied, "If San Francisco doesn't have it, I'll go to New York and get it for you—even if it means air freight, I'll personally deliver it!" How sincere those words were! Zhang Yuping was deeply moved and immediately said to Gao Liang, "Husband! Hearing you say that, I'm completely satisfied!" They continued walking. At this moment, they arrived at a large shopping mall. Wow! This was the most renowned Victoria Shopping Mall in San Francisco—the city's largest supermarket—and known for its luxurious interiors and premium product offerings. This shopping mall is a rare open-plan design, offering an elegant and refined experience for shopping and dining. Originally established in 1956 by the University of San Francisco, it now boasts over 140 retail stores and restaurants and has become one of the most successful regional shopping centers in the United States. Highlight: I never thought my wife would pull me here. Seriously, she brought me to the supermarket. Great! My wife has a gold card with a balance of $10 million—actually, it's from my own company, Yujing Group. In fact, Highlight is the chairman and holds a decisive stake, giving him full control over these funds. Typically, our Highlight doesn't spend large sums on personal expenses; instead, he invests in his business ventures or in the women he truly loves. This time, I'll personally cover the expenses for Ping'er. The two of them walk hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder, full of enthusiasm, becoming the center of attention wherever they go—men and women in stylish attire are always the highlight of any gathering. Hao Liang and Zhang Yuping strolled along the streets of the San Francisco mall, where the fresh floral scent and rich coffee aroma filled the air in the dining areas. There, restaurants of various styles and flavors were available to suit every preference—Mediterranean, Mexican, Chinese, Italian—each offering exceptional cuisine. Fine chocolates, coffees, clear teas, and desserts catered to diverse tastes. After their meal, Hao Liang and Zhang Yuping eagerly took the elevator.
