After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

"What?"

"What website is this, so magical!"

Manni asked curiously.

"I'm sending it to you now."

Liu Lu operated her phone for a bit, and Manni quickly received the website address.

She curiously clicked the link, but was met with a message: the webpage could not be opened.

"Huh?"

"It won't open."

Manni looked up, her gaze tinged with suspicion as she eyed Liu Lu.

"Copy it into the UC browser."

"I don't have the UC browser."

"Just download it then!"

"Alright then!"

To practice the flexibility of her fingers, Manni immediately went to the app store to download the UC browser.

Meanwhile, Liu Lu called over a waiter from the Western restaurant.

"President Liu, what can I do for you?"

"Would you like to order?"

Of course, the waiter recognized this beautiful deputy president and asked politely.

"Applewood steak, chef's pan-fried, medium-rare, mustard shrimp balls..."

Liu Lu smoothly ordered the food, all dishes that she and Manni enjoyed.

On the other side, Police Officer Ma had finished downloading the UC browser, copied the URL sent by her bestie, and this time the webpage opened smoothly, but the content that popped up left her dumbfounded.

This...

She clapped her phone down on the table with a smack.

Fearing that the content would be seen by the waiter standing nearby, that would be utterly embarrassing!

Only when the waiter left did she huffily complain, "Do you know it's illegal to spread pornographic material!!"

"My dear officer!"

"Going all serious on me, huh? And I know the law too, you know. Distributing this kind of information only becomes illegal when it's on a large scale with significant influence, like in a group chat with more than 500 people..."

Liu Lu shrugged with a smile, perfectly embodying the saying that there's nothing scarier than a hooligan who's culturally literate.

"I want to practice finger flexibility, why are you sending me this!"

Manni, having no way to deal with her hooligan friend, complained with a pout.

"This website is to help you train your finger flexibility!"

"Watch it secretly at midnight, and you'll comprehend its mysteries!" Liu Lu teased with a grin.

"Can you be serious for once!"

"I'm talking about serious matters here!" Manni frowned.

"First, tell me, why do you need to practice finger flexibility?" Liu Lu asked.

"It was the master, no, Mr. Yang who told me to practice!"

"Master? Mr. Yang?"

"Who exactly is he?" Liu Lu looked at her best friend with a puzzled face.

"It's that boyfriend of Huang Qing I told you about before."

"Let me tell you, he is just a scumbag..."

Despite her usual ice-cold police officer demeanor, Manni was actually quite chatty with her best friend, ranting about her newly acknowledged "master."

Of course, in the heart of this police officer, Yang Hao wasn't truly her master at all; she merely wanted to learn his boxing and Shadowless Finger techniques underhandedly!

"So, what does this have to do with you needing to practice finger flexibility?"

After Manni finished telling about Yang Hao's two-timing, Liu Lu inquired further.

"Today, I challenged him to a fight and didn't win!"

"It was the kind of defeat where I was completely overpowered. He knows some really amazing boxing and finger techniques, and I wanted to learn, so I took him as my master. Then he told me to start with the basics, doing five hundred squats a day and practicing finger flexibility..."

Manni spilled everything that had happened today.

"Practicing squats and finger flexibility??"

Liu Lu, the seasoned rogue woman, stood dumbfounded after hearing it: "Are you sure he's teaching you proper martial arts?"

Squats are useful when pretending to be a bodhisattva, and finger flexibility has even more applications!

"Did he also tell you to practice tongue flexibility?"

Liu Lu asked with a laugh.

"No, he didn't!"

Manni shook her head: "But he did have me do splits."

"Uh..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Facepalm!!"

Liu Lu couldn't help but express her astonishment. Clearly, Mr. Yang was just taking advantage of her best friend's naivety!

Any other woman would have sensed something was off, right?

"He's not teaching you boxing or finger techniques, he's training you..."

Liu Lu spread her hands, then asked curiously, "You said he's worth several billion, what does he look like?"

"Look it up yourself!"

"He's the president of both Tianmei Media and Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!"

Through the lens of the "scumbag" filter, Manni felt Yang Hao was just so-so, a bit better than average.

Liu Lu immediately searched curiously online and indeed found a photo of Yang Hao, the kind used on an ID.

"Pretty handsome, huh!"

"With a net worth of several billion and looking like that, Officer Ma, this is totally worth going for!"

Liu Lu exclaimed.

"Pfft!"

"Who cares!"

Ma Tianjiao said disdainfully, curling her lip.

"If you're not interested in him, then I'm definitely making a move!" Liu Lu shrugged.

"He's got that ambiguous relationship with Huang Qing, plus there's that pretty little Jiang lady; you're chasing a lost cause!!" Ma Tianjiao rolled her eyes.

"They're not married!"

"Besides, haven't you always disliked Huang Qing? I could help you out by stealing her boyfriend!" Liu Lu said with a sly smile.

"No way!"

"He's officially my master now. If you got together with him, wouldn't that make you my stepmother!"

Ma Tianjiao decisively shook her head, as if to say: We're supposed to be besties, and now you want to be my mom?

"Who would you prefer as your stepmother then, Huang Qing or me?"

Liu Lu posed the soul-searching question.

"Uh..."

Ma Tianjiao was really stumped by that question.

Truthfully, she didn't want to pick either option, but after some serious thought, she decided on the lesser of two evils.

"If I had to choose one, it would definitely be you!" Ma Tianjiao said rather reluctantly.

"OK!"

"Then send me your WeChat!" Liu Lu exclaimed, reaching out her hand with a beaming smile.

...

Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

Yang Hao had gotten into the habit of coming in once a week to listen to Cai Meichen's work report, and incidentally get the Red Buff!

30% increased endurance, 50% joyful experience was indeed quite pleasant!

And every time he got the buff, he'd hit the jackpot with Gold Coins, usually around a million or so.

Though a million was but a drop in the bucket for Yang Hao now, it was better than nothing!

A million thrown around still had a significant impact on the average person!

After the work report was finished, Director Cai, who was meticulous about cleanliness, licked up her rich, high-protein snack. At such times, she seemed to forget all about her obsession with cleanliness and appeared utterly satisfied, as if savoring some heavenly delicacy.

Yang Hao had heard that some women particularly loved this stuff, and these women were jokingly referred to by netizens as: Protein Girls!

So, Director Cai was probably one of the Protein Girls!

"Out of all the vice presidents, who do you dislike the most?" Yang Hao asked, supporting her forehead, after Director Cai was done with her tasks.

"Liu Sen!" Cai Meichen replied without hesitation. The Liu Sen she mentioned was the vice president in charge of marketing, with whom she had quite a few interactions. Clearly, Liu Sen was interested in Cai Meichen, having hinted at it several times with lecherous gazes.

"Then fire him!"

"You take over as vice president and promote Liu Zifeng to be the general manager of the marketing department," Yang Hao said indifferently.

"Me, a vice president?"

Cai Meichen had been looking forward to the prospect since Yang Hao had previously hinted at it, and now the promise had been fulfilled.

"Say vice president, but really, you'll be the president!"

"My role as president is just for show, as you know!" Yang Hao indeed was no longer focused on the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group; as a major shareholder, only a small portion of the group's profits ended up with him.

However, he couldn't forgo his title just yet, since having an official backing made any future endeavors much easier.

"By the way, Jiangcheng City government is planning to establish a charitable foundation and has invited numerous entrepreneurs to participate. They have sent you an invitation. The foundation's inaugural meeting is the day after tomorrow, and Director Hu of the Municipal Committee Propaganda Department suggests you should attend in person."

Cai Meichen stood up, straightening her clothes as she spoke.

"Then I'll attend," Yang Hao replied.

"Send the details to my phone!"

Despite having many businesses to his name, Yang Hao had ample time as others were managing them on his behalf.

After concluding his weekly work report, Yang Hao left the president's office and visited the New Media Operations Center. The center had become Jiangcheng Newspaper Group's busiest department, growing from just six personnel to a substantial team of thirty-six staff members, including professional photographers, makeup artists, as well as copywriters and video editors.

Yang Hao originally came to see his sister-in-law, Li Manni, but unfortunately, she happened to be out on location and not in the office.

Yang Hao left the basket of fresh flowers he brought from a young girl on Li Manni's desk and then left Jiangcheng Newspaper Group.

Having just boosted his Red Buff, Yang Hao decided to also get the Lan buff, so he drove to Linjiang Garden.

Jiujiu and her family had moved there, and today she happened to be off work and at home.

Seeing her old flame after such a long time, Jiujiu was quite happy and threw herself into Yang Hao's arms.

At that moment, Jiujiu was wearing a set of light pink loungewear, and her slightly curled hair hung naturally, giving off a serene, moonlit vibe.

"Is Dongdong not home?" Yang Hao asked while enthusiastically responding to Jiujiu's embrace.

"Dongdong's cochlear implant has been adjusted well; he has found a job washing cars," Jiujiu replied.

"Fending for oneself is quite good!"

Knowing that Dongdong was not home, Yang Hao felt he could let loose a bit more, since only Jiujiu's bedridden mother was at home besides her. Jiujiu had arranged for her mother to stay in the largest master bedroom, where even if she could hear something, she couldn't get out of bed!

Thus, the two of them started a round of poker in the living room, unreservedly.

Initially, Jiujiu was quite restrained; although her mother was bedridden, her hearing was intact, and she retained some ability to speak, and it wouldn't be ideal for her to overhear these activities.

However, today Jiujiu felt unprecedentedly comfortable and couldn't suppress the noises from her throat. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

The pleasant sounds drifted into the master bedroom, where after listening for over twenty minutes, Pang Chunmei, who was paralyzed from the waist down, felt her previously unresponsive fingers twitch a few times...
