But at that time, the family was extremely difficult. They had just finished building a roofed house and still had many debts to repay—how could they possibly afford to raise a daughter! No matter how much Gao Liang pleaded, his parents firmly refused. At that moment, Gao Liang made a firm decision: if he truly had a sister—whether born to his parents or not—he would take great care of and show deep concern for her. He would never allow anyone to mistreat her, and would diligently protect and nurture her. It was clear that Gao Liang’s emotions were complex, wavering between affection and familial duty. Gao Liang hesitated as he lifted his chopsticks, while Dong Mengyao, at that very moment, closed her eyes in contentment and opened her mouth, forming an "O" shape, patiently waiting for Gao Liang to feed her the lean meat with his chopsticks. There was no movement—nothing at all. After a while, Dong Mengyao opened her eyes to find that Gao Liang had already set down his chopsticks and was gazing at her, saying, "Sister, please eat on your own. Brother is also tired. He has to go to work "Then I'm here—do you have a room?" Dong Mengyao asked. "Brother, I'll take the master bedroom for myself. I'll sleep in the small room outside!" Gao Liang was humble and sincere, and Dong Mengyao, newly arrived, felt warmly welcomed. She felt a little embarrassed, so she gratefully said to Gao Liang, "The small room is so narrow—just like a corridor. You won't be comfortable sleeping there; you'll catch a cold. You should come and sleep in the master bedroom instead!" "Sister, how can that be fair? You're my sister, and I might get up in the middle of the night and do something silly!" Gao Liang really had a good reason. "I'm not afraid at all! I believe you won't!" Dong Mengyao felt her face turn slightly red upon hearing this, but seeing Gao Liang's genuine sincerity, she knew this wasn't a convincing argument. "Stop being so silly! You've been traveling all day today and are surely exhausted. Just rest well on this big bed!" After speaking, she picked up a thin blanket and went to the small room, lying down on the floor. Dong Mengyao had indeed been tired today—after watching a movie on her computer, she yawned repeatedly and seemed quite drowsy. So she turned off the computer and lay down on the large bed in the main bedroom, drifting off into a happy sleep. When she opened her eyes the next morning, the bright sunlight streamed in through the window glass, blinding her. She stretched lazily, walked to the window, took a deep breath, and looked out at the bustling streets not far away—full of life and prosperity. Commercial buildings rose steadily around, arranged in a pleasing pattern, always reflecting the vibrant atmosphere of a modern metropolis. Hai Bin was truly wonderful! So much more vibrant than her hometown of Yanshan City. It makes sense—since coastal cities in China have traditionally been more developed than inland ones. After all, the spring of reform and opening-up first reached these coastal areas, which is exactly what "being close to the water gives you the moon first" means. Dong Mengyao opened the door to the master bedroom and stepped into the small alcove, only to find Gao Huang had already left. On the floor remained just a thin blanket. She felt a pang of sadness—with the weather turning cooler lately, how could someone endure sleeping on the floor with only a single blanket? She thought back to yesterday, when she had slept comfortably on the large bed, wrapped in a warm duck-down quilt, and now, the contrast filled her with a deep sense of gratitude. How kind this brother had been to her! As she thought about it, an unexpected sense of warmth and tenderness welled up in her chest. Then she turned around and saw a note stuck to the door of the master bedroom: "Brother: I've gone to work! I've already prepared your breakfast in the kitchen—egg fried rice, and yesterday's leftovers, all warmed up in the pot. Since you're just arriving, don't rush to find a job. Just stay with me for a while. Once you've gotten a good sense of the city's layout, we'll discuss your next steps then!" Although the family's computer is in regular use, Brother Li maintains a dedicated QQ line with the technical support team at HaoShiSu Fast Car Sales, so whenever you need help, just Q him! Signed by Brother Li, on the same day. What a wonderful brother! Dong Mengyao felt so happy she almost lost her way. With Brother Li's constant support and care, her face shone with sunshine, and the warmth of spring returned. She also treated Brother Li's home as her own. Seeing that the house was getting increasingly cluttered, she decided it was time to tidy up and began making efforts, eventually transforming the home into a clean and well-organized space. When Gao Liang appeared at HaoShiSu Fast Car Sales, General Manager Zhang Shijie and Supervisor Liu Qingsong were genuinely delighted—because they had just encountered a new challenge involving a key customer's after-sales issue that neither Liu nor himself could resolve. As soon as Gao Liang arrived, they immediately called the customer, communicating fluently in English. Within just five minutes, the customer responded: "OK! OK! Thank you, Li Xiaolong!" The highlights are bright red—wherever someone is, fans follow. Despite serving as CEO of two major game companies, China Wushu and极品Flyer, he still finds time to unwind. China Wushu is managed by his trusted allies, Lin Guojun and Wang Zhiqiang, while极品Flyer is handled by his wife, Dai Mengna, who heads to the U.S. headquarters. Additionally, his wife-in-law, Mi Ji, is sent to oversee the Japanese market. With his distant cousin, Dong Mengyao, joining the scene, he too wants to take a break and continues to serve as the sales manager at Good Speed Automotive. As for his role at Tianlong Real Estate, it's optional—his personal brand has already brought immense value to the company. Right now, he has everything he needs and simply wants to enjoy the ride. Hao Shisu Auto Company has two office locations: one is its main management office, and the other is a large shared office where the entire company works together. That day, while organizing some important data files in one of the cubicles in the shared office, Liu Qingsong gently pushed at Gao Huang's arm and said mysteriously, "Hey! Hey! I've got a secret to share. Lately, I've noticed something's off—Ye Tong has returned, and she's now been promoted directly from sales representative to Human Resources Manager. I've noticed her checking us out frequently lately. I'm pretty sure she's developed feelings for me!" "But I'd like to remind you one more thing—your cousin is a young woman, and life outside the home can be quite challenging. You're two years older than her, so as an elder brother, you should treat her as if she were your own sister. If you take advantage of her at any point, I'll never forgive you!" Mother both reminded and warned him. High Light, a dutiful son, always listened to his mother. "Yes, yes, Mother, I understand! Please rest assured!" he nodded eagerly. "Mother was telling stories, which moved Gao Liang deeply. He thought it was time to get his mother a phone. He wanted to spend more time at home each time she visited, teaching her step by step—first one time, if she didn’t understand, then three times, and if still not, then ten times—until she finally grasped it. Thinking of how Mother would speak to Dong Mengyao, she kept saying, "Yes, Mother, just a moment! I’ll have her take the call right away!" Gao Liang was a dutiful son—whenever Mother spoke, he immediately got busy. He gently pushed Dong Mengyao, who had actually woken up earlier. The scene had felt like a dream to her, as her mind had been blank at the time. Yet, she remained shy, her cheeks flushed and her neck slightly lowered. Receiving the phone from Gao Liang, Dong Mengyao cleared her throat and spoke softly and clearly, "It's Auntie! I'm Dong Mengyao!" "Oh! It's Dong Mengyao! That's exactly what your brother said earlier. Has he been treating you well lately?" Mother had been deeply concerned about this cousin. "No, really! Brother Xiaolong has been so kind to me! In fact, he's been cooking for me these days!" Dong Mengyao glanced at Gao Liang, praising him over the phone. "As long as he treats you well—just tell me if one day he ever bothers you, and I'll never forgive him!" Mother has truly become Dong Mengyao's backer. If Gao Liang ever does anything to her, she'll make sure to speak up.
